The mark of any great documentary is that it satisfies both viewers who know its subject intimately and those who may have never been interested.
Even if you are someone who thinks Formula One racing is just a rich person's folly where the fastest car always wins, Senna will put you straight. Brazil's Ayrton Senna was to F1 racing what Jimi Hendrix was to guitar playing and what Ali was to boxing: someone so naturally gifted he made being the best look easy. Yet closer inspection reveals levels of effort and devotion most would find impossible. Senna wasn't a tactical racer like his nemesis, Prost, or a lover of the computer-corrected cars that briefly took over the sport; he was a purist, a driver who could be so "in the zone" that things like poor weather only gave him something to overcome. He was so in tune that he completed the final six laps of one winning race stuck in sixth gear – an act still believed to be impossible. Senna became a worthy role model to his troubled country, with an image that will forever be untarnished, and director Asif Kapadia has given him a befitting documentary. Additional footage, mostly fascinating talking head stuff, can be viewed separately or inserted into the film to add an hour to the running time.

Adnan, Azlan and Hendriyawan, Hendriyawan and Marto, Aminaton and Irsyam, Masyhur (2006) Development of synthetic time histories at bedrock for Kuala Lumpur. In: 6th Asia-Pacific Structural Engineering and Construction Conference, 5-6 September 2006, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
PDF (Full text)
Acceleration Time-histories of earthquake ground motions are required for analyzing the structural performances and response of soil deposits under seismic loading. Selection of appropriate time-histories for specific geological and seismological conditions plays an important role for obtaining accurate results. Due to lack of representative strong motion data recorded in Malaysia, synthetic ground motions were generated in the frequency domain by using spectral matching analysis and random vibration theory. The uniform hazard spectra (UHS), which are required for developing synthetic time histories, were obtained from probabilistic seismic hazard analysis using attenuation relationships for response spectrum. In this study, two UHS were developed for 10% and 2% Probability Exceedance (PE) in design time period of 50 year or correspond to return period of approximately 500 and 2,500 years, respectively. Two time histories for each hazard level were generated in this study, which represent the most likely and mean contribution magnitude-distance combinations. Finally, the time histories were applied in using 1-dimensional shear wave propagation analysis to obtain peak acceleration and amplification factor at the surface of Kuala Lumpur. The results indicate that the selection of appropriate time histories is one of the most critical in ground response analysis. The accelerations at the surface could be different up to about 35%.

Here's hoping they can get 'it' done
Byline info is not available
Tuesday, August 19, 2014 10:00 PM
Here's hoping Vandalia Heritage Foundation can get it done.
"It" of course is the renovation/rehabilitation of the Ben Hur Life building on the corner of Main and Water streets in downtown Crawfordsville.
I've been known to "flip-flop" on my opinions and here I go again.
Several months ago I stated in this column I doubted the old Culver hospital would be repurposed. Evidently, I was wrong. Work has begun and from every indication the project will be successful.
Last week we were told a process similar to the one used with the old hospital building can be used on the Ben Hur building. Good for us.
I can remember going to the dentist on one of the upper floors of the Ben Hur building not long after moving to Crawfordsville. I remember visiting Jack Wyatt in his office in the Ben Hur building.
But I also remember the Board of Works meeting when it was decided something had to be done because pieces of the building were falling to the sidewalk. The "solution" for too many years has been to string yellow tape around the building and warn pedestrians to stay away.
I'm not finding fault. I understand why the situation has been stagnant but I also appreciate Mayor Todd Barton's work and his words at the county commissioners' meeting last week: The time is soon coming when the issue will be resolved one way or another.
The regime of the yellow tape at the Ben Hur building needs to come to an end.
I like the idea of private investment turning the building from an eyesore into a show place.
The Vandalia group knows how to get things done.
Vandalia Heritage Foundation of Fairmont, W. Va., looks for buildings like the Ben Hur Life building and finds ways to make them a useful part of a community. In the case of the Ben Hur building, the group plans to make the exterior as beautiful as when it was new.
Ken Remenschneider is president of Remenschneider & Associates. He is working on the bicycle and pedestrian paths that may become a part of downtown Crawfordsville. He admired the Ben Hur building while working on the paths project.
Remenschneider told the commissioners they can visit the city of Wabash and see how beautifully a similar project there has turned out.
Are the tax credits a good thing? Let's just say they are necessary. If they can be sold to make the investment of $7.5 million palatable, and if that means the building becomes a revenue producer instead of a possible drain on resources, then yes, the tax credits are worth it.
Speaking of taxes, California Pellet Mill received a seven-year tax abatement from the City of Crawfordsville recently.
The tax abatement will give CPM tax deductions to encourage the company to invest in its business here in Crawfordsville.
Carl Allis, plant manager, told the City Council that not only will a planned expansion create new jobs, it will result in some houses that have been allowed to deteriorate to be demolished to make room for the 8,000 square-foot expansion to the company's present 55,000 square-foot building.
California Pellet Mill has been here since 1946 and the company is investing $6 million in the Crawfordsville operation. Allis said.
Again, good for us.
Frank Phillips is the editor of The Paper of Montgomery County.

Chapter 3 The Royal Highland Fusiliers The Regiment takes its present form and name from 20th January 1959 when the Royal Scots Fusiliers and the Highland Light Infantry were amalgamated. The Royal Scots Fusiliers was raised in 1678 as the Earl of Mar's Regiment of Foot and became a Fusiliers Regiment in about 1690 (the exact date is unknown but was certainly before July 1691): the royal title was granted in 1712 to commemorate the regiment's service in the field throughout the entire war of the Spanish Succession, taking part in all the major actions and most of the minor ones in France, Flanders and Germany. The Regiment's subsequent career included service in Asia, America and Australia: particular incidents include the utter defeat of the Gens d'Armes of the French Household Cavalry at Dettingen (theoretically) a nigh impossible feat) the capture and burning of Washington in 1814, the defence of the Barrier at Inkerman (Crimea 1854) the carrying of the Colours in action for the last time at Ulundi (Zulu War) and the gaining of the regiment's first VC in the Boer War (Pte G Ravenhill, Colenso, 1899). Service in the Great War included France and Flanders, Macedonia, Gallipoli and Palestine, and in the Second War, NW Europe 1940, 44 – 45, Sicily, Italy and Burma. Post war active service included Malaya (1954 – 57) and Cyprus (1958).
The defence of the Barrier at Crimea in 1854. The story of the Highland Light Infantry begins in 1777, with the raising of MacLeod's Highlanders, the first clan based Highland regiment to be retained on the permanent establishment. Fraser's, later 71st Highlanders became Light Infantry in 1809, when the designation Highland Light Infantry came into use. After early campaigns in India the 71st fought in Spain and Portugal (1809, 1810 – 14) and was part of Adams' Brigade at Waterloo, taking part in the defeat of the last attack of the Imperial Guard. Subsequent campaigns included the Crimea, the Indian Mutiny and the Boer War. The Great War saw battalions of the regiment in France and Flanders, Gallipoli, Palestine and Mesopotamia: in the Second World War, NW Europe 1940, 44 – 45 Abyssinia, North Africa, Sicily, Italy and Greece. Post-war active service included Palestine 1945 – 48 and Cyprus (1956).
71st at Waterloo in 1815 The 74th Highlanders raised in 1787, became 2nd Battalion HLI in 1881 and took part in most of the campaigns involving the 71st. Their most distinguished action was at Assaye (India 1803), the regiment being presented with a third Colour by East India Company. The Assaye Colour, renewed periodically, is still carried, making the RHF the only regiment of infantry to carry three Colours on parade; the sixth Assaye Colour was given to the regiment by Glasgow and was presented in Hemer, Germany in 1981.
The 74th Highlanders at the Battle of Assaye 1803 Since 1959 the regiment has served from Belize in the west to Singapore in the east, including a tour with the United Nations force in Cyprus, Gulf and Bosnia and many tours in Northern Ireland. On 23rd September 1978 the regiment, then stationed at Edinburgh, celebrated its 300th anniversary on which occasion Princess Margaret – The Colonel in chief – presented new Queen's and Regimental Colours to replace the first RHF stand which she has presented at Glasgow on 12th May 1959. After her death HRH the Prince Andrew, Duke of York took over as Royal Colonel.
At present the Royal Highland Fusiliers the 2nd Battalion the Royal Regiment of Scotland are based in their new home at the refurbished Glencorse Barracks, Penicuik after a successful tour in Cyprus and Iraq. Victoria Cross Winners Lt W L Brodie, 2nd Bn Highland Light Infantry For conspicuous gallantry near Beccelaere on the 11th Nov 1914, in clearing the enemy out of a portion of our trenches which they had succeeded in occupying. Heading the charge, he bayoneted several of the enemy, and thereby relieved a dangerous situation. As a result Lt Brodie's promptitude 80 of the enemy were killed and 51 taken prisoner. LCpl W Angus, 8th Bn Highland Light Infantry For most conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty at Givenchy, 12th Jun 1915 in voluntarily leaving the trench under very heavy fire and rescuing an officer who was lying within a few yards of the enemy position. LCpl Angus had no chance in escaping the enemy's fire when undertaking this very gallant action, and in effecting the rescue he sustained about forty wounds from bombs, some of them being very serious. Pte D Donnini, 4th/5th Bn Royal Scots Fusiliers During the assault of a village in NW Europe in January 1945 Fusilier Donnini's platoon came under concentrated fire and he was hit in the head. After recovering consciousness he charged down 30 yards of open road and threw a grenade into the nearest window. With the survivors of his platoon he closely pursued the fleeing enemy. Within close range of enemy trenches and under intense fire Fusilier Donnini rescued a wounded comrade then returned to the open firing a Bren gun. He was wounded a second time but recovered and went on firing until a grenade he was carrying was hit and exploded killing him. During this action, fought at point blank range, the determination and magnificent courage of Fusilier Donnini enabled his platoon to capture the position accounting for 30 Germans and 2 machine guns. He was the youngest winner of the VC during World War II.

It's not always easy to re-enter the workforce -- but a good suit can go a long way in making that happen.Throughout the month of July, Men's Wearhouse locations throughout the country will be hosting the company's fifth annual National Suit Drive as part of a consolidated effort to get men an opportunity to look their best as they look to be join the ranks of the employed.
The initiative is the country's largest collection of gently used business attire for men, as men are encouraged to donate their unwanted businesswear to a fresh start to millions of disadvantaged workers. In 2012, the hope for the more than 900 Men's Wearhouse and Men's Wearhouse and Tux stores is to collectively gather 110,000 items and distribute them to about 200 non-profit organizations nationwide that help men and women re-enter the job market through resume-building workshops, interview preparation and skills-training programs.
Despite 3.5 million jobs currently available, 42.8 percent of unemployed Americans have been jobless for at least 27 weeks, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Companies are hiring, yet wavering optimism leaves unemployed Americans hesitant. The National Suit Drive helps rebuild their confidence.
Those who want to help out can go to any of the company's stores and donate gently used men's suits, shirts, jackets, ties, belts and shoes. Women's professional clothing items are accepted as well. This year, dress sheos and big-and-tall business attire are in particular high demand.
For every suit donated, Men's Wearhouse will give two business ties to the cause. As a thank you, donors will receive a coupon for 50 percent off the regular price of all retail items (excluding shoes and Everyday Low Price items) for their next purchase, as well as a tax receipt.
People can also continue to raise awareness by visiting the Men's Wearhouse Facebook page to share images and videos or to track donations with a live donations counter. They can also follow the conversation on Twitter @MensWearhouse for real-time updates with #giveasuit. For every National Suit Drive mention on Facebook and Twitter, the company will contribute $1 (up to $25,000) to the cause.

The New Jersey Nets are hosting the second best team in the East record wise and my pick to come after the Eastern Conference, the Orlando Magic. Did you really expect them to win? At least it was not as embarrassing loss as they usually are defeated by.
The team has gotten their act together defensively as there was a time when they were getting blown out by 30 to 40 and giving up 120 or so a night. Now they can hold great opposition to 95-100 and when they can get their offense on that level they can start winning more.

The first retrospective of prints by the contemporary American artist Richard Tuttle (born 1941) will open on Saturday, June 28 at the Bowdoin College Museum of Art.
A keynote program, "Prints, Textiles, and the Art of Richard Tuttle" will open exhibition, on Saturday afternoon, beginning at 3:30 p.m. in Kresge Auditorium, Visual Arts Center. Please join us for insights from and conversation with Richard Tuttle, artist; Chris Dercon, director of the Tate Modern, London, England; Christina von Rotenhan, art historian and co-curator of the exhibition. Moderated by Anne Collins Goodyear, co-director of the Bowdoin College Museum of Art.
A reception and family activities will follow the discussion, from 5:00 to 6:30 at the Bowdoin College Museum of Art. Both events are free and open to the public.
RSVPs are requested, by not required. RSVP here.
Richard Tuttle: A Print Retrospective will highlight the experimental nature of Tuttle's print practice and will mark the first time that many of these prints have been exhibited by a museum. Presenting a selection of more than 100 prints from the 1970s to today, created by Tuttle in collaboration with some of the country's premier print studios, the exhibition will demonstrate the pivotal role of printmaking in Tuttle's artistic practice, as an incubator of new ideas and a tool for collaboration and communication. By presenting four decades of Tuttle's print works together for the first time, this retrospective will shed new light on the artist's ongoing questioning of the fundamental principles of printmaking.
An unprecedented exploration of Tuttle's printmaking, Richard Tuttle: A Print Retrospective demonstrates how, in collaboration with master printers and renowned publishers, Richard Tuttle has created prints that engage in traditional techniques—such as etching, woodblock, and lithography—and simultaneously question and reinvent the basic tenets of printmaking itself. With active participation from the artist, the installation will follow a chronological order to emphasize the dramatic evolution of Tuttle's print-making across the past four decades—beginning with the post-minimal, conceptually driven work of the 1970s to the poetic investigations of the print medium in the 1990s, to the exuberant explorations of color in the 2000s, and the playful engagement of unconventional materials in this decade. Through works such as Tuttle's recent project When Pressure Exceeds Weight (2012–2013)—a series of 11 prints/papers in which ink meets and is impressed onto paper pulp as through osmosis in a series of variations—Tuttle is introducing new media to traditional printmaking process. Representing the breadth and range of Tuttle's printmaking, Richard Tuttle: A Print Retrospective will cast new light on Tuttle's ongoing challenges to artistic conventions.

WikiLeaks Founder Assange Is Free On Bail
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange walked out of a British prison Thursday after a judge rejected an appeal that would have kept him behind bars while he awaits an extradition hearing. The former hacker is wanted in Sweden for questioning in a sex-crimes investigation.
Assange thanked his supporters outside a courtroom in London.
"If justice is not always an outcome, at least it is not dead yet," he said to cheers. "I hope to continue my work and continue to protest my innocence in this matter and to reveal as we get it, which we have not yet, the evidence from these allegations."
Amid a barrage of flashbulbs, he added: "It's great to smell the fresh air of London again."
Assange was released hours after a hearing over whether he should be granted bail. It was his third court appearance since he surrendered to Scotland Yard on Dec. 7 and was locked up in London's Wandsworth prison.
Scores of reporters had filled the wood-paneled courtroom and public gallery of the British High Court, along with teams of lawyers, Assange's supporters and his mother, Christine Assange.
Related NPR Stories
The 39-year-old Australian, wearing a dark gray suit, stood in the courtroom dock as Judge Duncan Ouseley heard the appeal to rescind his conditional release on about $316,000 bail. Prosecutors wanted to keep Assange behind bars until a scheduled hearing in January over his possible extradition to Sweden, which he has vowed to fight. It was initially believed that Swedish prosecutors ordered the appeal, but they now say it wasn't them.
During the hearing, prosecutors argued that Assange was a flight risk, but Ouseley said the defendant "clearly does have some desire to clear his name, because if he were not to do so, the allegations would always be hanging over him."
Assange gave a thumbs-up sign to the packed courtroom as he was led from the dock by guards and later thanked those who backed his bail petition. Cheers erupted from supporters outside the court upon hearing news of the ruling.
Assange lawyer Mark Stephens said he was "utterly delighted" with the decision, which included an order that prosecutors pay his client's court costs.
On Tuesday, Assange was granted bail on condition that he wear an electronic-monitoring tag, report to police every evening and observe two four-hour curfews each day. He also must stay at a registered address — a 10-bedroom mansion in eastern England owned by Vaughan Smith, founder of London's Frontline Club for journalists.
Assange's bond was posted with money from celebrities such as socialite Jemima Khan and filmmakers Ken Loach and Michael Moore.
"They've all come forward and very generously arranged their financial affairs to support him," Stephens said.
Assange and his legal team now have less than a month to prepare their case opposing extradition to Sweden. Swedish authorities are investigating allegations of rape, molestation and unlawful coercion made by two women in connection with separate incidents in August. He has not been charged.
Assange's lawyers say the allegations stem from a dispute over "consensual but unprotected sex" and argue that he has offered to make himself available for questioning via video link or in person in Britain.
His supporters suspect the allegations are politically motivated, stemming from WikiLeaks' recent release of thousands of U.S. diplomatic cables as well as having published secret U.S. military documents on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Building A Case In Washington
Meanwhile, federal investigators in Virginia are exploring a wide range of legal options to try to build a criminal case against Assange. The Justice Department is treading carefully, however, because prosecutors don't want to move too soon or to use a legal theory that sets a bad precedent for mainstream media organizations.
Former Justice Department official Kenneth Wainstein told the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday that the stakes couldn't be higher.
"If WikiLeaks and Assange end up facing no charges for their mass document releases, which are about as audacious as I've ever heard of, they will conclude that they're legally invulnerable," he said. "They'll redouble their efforts to match or exceed their recent exploits, and copycat operations will sprout up around the Internet."
U.S. lawmakers from both political parties are offering to rewrite a 100-year-old espionage law to make it easier to prosecute Assange. Others are urging the FBI to concentrate on whether Assange encouraged the young Army private suspected of leaking secret diplomatic cables. They suggest that if he provided technical help or money, he could be charged with conspiracy or aiding the government leaker.
But Stephen Vladeck, a law professor at American University, told lawmakers that might be problematic.
"The espionage act has not previously been used to my knowledge," he said, "to prosecute someone on an inchoate theory of liability as an aider-abetter or co-conspirator, etc."
Prominent Washington attorney Abbe Lowell said reporters are constantly trying to wheedle information out of government sources.
"Press people cajole, encourage, flatter, talk to people in the government all the time," he said. "They are actively engaged in trying to find out that which the government does not want to disclose."
With reporting from Larry Miller, NPR's Philip Reeves in London and NPR's Carrie Johnson in Washington, D.C. This report contains material from The Associated Press.

[CES] Toshiba Develops 410g UMPC
Toshiba Corp displays a prototype of an Ultra-Mobile PC (UMPC) that weighs only 410g at the 2008 International CES.
The prototype, which employs Windows Vista as its OS, is equipped with a 1024-x-600-dot 5.6-inch semi-translucent LCD and a 64 or 128Gbit 1.8-inch SDD. The dimensions are 151 x 130 x 21mm. The timing for commercialization is yet to be decided.
It adopts "Menlow," a new mobile platform scheduled to be released by Intel Corp of the US in 2008. Menlow is composed of "Silverthorne (development codename)," a low power consumption 45nm process processor, "Poulsbo (development codename)," a chipset composed of a single chip and wireless communication functions including Bluetooth, wireless LAN, WiMAX and 3G.
Silverthorne, which is designed to attain low consumption of 0.5W TDP (Thermal Design Power), aims at the running time of 4 to 5 hours by battery, Toshiba says.
Toshiba reduced the size of the main substrate so as to design a smaller, lighter UMPC. As a result, "the substrate area of the prototype has been reduced to less than half" compared with the substrate used in "dynabook SS RX series," which weighs 768g (at the minimum), released in 2007, according to the company.
It has an area a little bigger than a 1.8-inch HDD. This was realized by the improvement of the substrate material, reduction of wiring pitches and improvement of mounting methods, the company says.

Chapter 19 : Out With the Trash
|Rating: 15+
|Chapter Reviews: 7
Background: Font color:
"Hermione? Hermione, are you alright?" she heard Draco say, his hand lightly resting on her shoulder as if he was unsure whether she was going to explode again or not.
She had never been more scared in her life, with the possible exceptions of that night at the Ministry or when Dumbledore had died. What had made this different...maybe it had been a personal failure on her part. She had just decided to try trusting Draco with something...though she hadn't decided what exactly yet...only to find that he had been reading about some of the darkest magic there was. In addition to that, he had ferreted out the greatest secret she knew of--though not all of it thankfully--with remarkable ease.
And then she had panicked. She had only thought to stun him so she could have a few minutes to think of what to do next, but he had been faster than she. It had not been until she had seen Draco put his wand up, as well as her own, that she had been able to draw breath again. It was not until then that the numbness of fear evaporated, leaving only a torrent of tears in its wake.
'Ok Hermione, your vacation from reality is over, and it's time to think logically again,' she told herself. She dried off her eyes one last time, and raised her face to find Draco sitting directly in front of her.
"Hi there," he said with a small, half-smile that did not extend into his gray eyes. If anything, he gave the impression of being under a heavy weight. "You know," Draco continued, "I think that we may owe each other a few explanations."
"You're probably right," Hermione admitted, her voice still a little stuffy from crying.
"Going in chronological order seems as good as anything," he said, frowning. "Those books, well, I did find them hidden in this room. I know they're pretty dark magic...well, you'd have to try pretty hard to get any darker than that I know...but just call me too curious for my own good. I certainly have not ever had any plans to make a Horcrux, and I didn't know that there were any around to destroy, so my interest there was academic."
"Academic and possibly tainted by a desire to do something that Harry wouldn't approve of?" she asked wryly.
"You may have me on that one," Draco said with a small smile. "And then there was your reaction. The only way you would have know anything about them at all was if you were trying to research them for some reason. And...."
"And you called him the Dark Lord," Hermione whispered. "Not You-Know-Who, Voldemort, or He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named...."
"Sorry," Draco said after clearing his throat. "Old habits die hard."
Hermione nodded slowly, hoping that that was all it was. The notes were still coming, so Draco was still going to the Death Eater meetings and bringing tidbits back. This would be an ideal time for him to bring that subject up, for him to confess that it was him giving the Order the aid it so desperately needed, but that wasn't what he admitted next.
"I don't blame you a bit for panicking when I figured it out. I was pretty surprised too," he said with what sounded like a forced chuckle. "I mean, I had never guessed that there was a way to kill him and that you guys had figured it out...."
But if Draco had thought that.... "What?!" Hermione exclaimed. "Do you mean to tell me that you didn't think that Voldemort could die? Are you saying that you came to us for help fully expecting him to kill us all sooner or later? Why, in the name of Merlin, did you come here if that's what you really thought?" she asked him.
"Because a drowning man will grab hold to any floating stick, regardless of whether he thinks that it could hold his weight or not," he said quietly, his eyes not leaving hers. "A man hanging on the edge of a cliff will grab onto a blade of grass, if that is all he can reach, even knowing that it will not hold him."
Hermione opened her mouth, and then closed it again. Now, she finally realized the intense fear he must have been living under. Draco had tied himself to what he had assumed was a lost cause, all because of what had happened eight months ago when he had started to lower his wand. It had all started when he had realized that he was unable to make himself take the life of another human being, and as a consequence he had assumed that both he and his mother would die. But that also meant....
"Well, what was I to you then?" she asked, her temper returning to her. "If you thought that we were both going to die, is our relationship nothing more than your last fling with the only available girl within sight? Does that mean...." Hermione stopped talking as his finger rose to press softly against her lips.
"You," Draco said softly, his hair falling into his face as he leaned forward, "were a thing of beauty where I expected to find none."
Hermione found herself speechless. 'Drat the man. How he can terrify me, make me angry, and then melt me--all within ten minutes no less!--I have no idea.... Doesn't he realize that I would prefer it if my brain were functioning properly?'
She had just enough time to complete that thought before she realized that she was being quite thoroughly kissed.
Five or ten minutes later, Draco stood over Hermione's shoulder, watching as she poured over the books he had found in the box in the floor compartment. He was thinking furiously, knowing that what he did next could be of the utmost importance. He could tell his master about the whole thing right now, and he and his family would be sparred. Not only that, he might even be rewarded for something this big. The problem there was that if Potter and Weasley were on the trail of the Horcrux right then, and might not be easy to catch, and the issue would remain. So long as one person that knew of the Horcrux remained alive, the problem would not be solved. He could wait until Potter and Weasley returned, and see if they had succeeded or not, to tell his master. Of course, that would probably mean that their murders would become his responsibility since he was the only one implanted in the Order's headquarters.
Which brought him to why he had been sent here in the first place.
Sighing, Draco sunk into the room's only chair, watching Hermione from behind her. She had taken the time to pull her her chocolate curls out of her face while she read, tying them in an off-center ponytail with a string. Her left hand held her now returned wand up, lighting the room, while her other hand danced over the books, turning pages and exchanging the books on her lap. Hermione's slender form was bent over, intent on her work. Seeing no more than this, there was nothing he wanted to do more than play his hands down her spine, or to wrap his fingers in her curls. The truth was....
The truth was that he could never kill her, either directly or indirectly. When he had been trying to kill Dumbledore, he had tried the indirect means first, thinking that that would be easier. The poison, the necklace, ushering others into Hogwarts.... If any of them had worked the way he had intended, he had realized, he probably wouldn't have been there to see it happen. He had thought that if he didn't seen Dumbledore die, he could tell himself that it had not been his responsibility. He could have told himself that he was not a murderer, that he was only a victim of circumstance.
The reason he could not kill her.... 'Damn it, but if she dies, part of me will die with her,' he though, still silently watching her work.
In fact, if he told his master about this at all, the only possible way she could survive was if Hermione betrayed her mission, friends, and ideals to work for the Dark Lord. 'Yeah right,' Draco told himself. 'In what alternate universe could that happen?'
Which left the third option of betraying his master, and hoping that the Order could pull it together and actually win. Unfortunately, this was just about as likely as Hermione joining the Dark Lord, in his opinion. 'If only,' he thought, 'it did not involve the factors of teenagers getting past whatever the Dark Lord put up to defend part of his soul, a half-blood no older than me defeating the most powerful wizard in the world, and a group of misfits winning against the Death Eaters as well as armies of dementors, giants, and whatever else the Dark Lord managed to find in his spare time.'
In the event that he joined the Order in truth and they lost, Hermione would still die. It would be more than likely he would die with her.
It was one of those situations that, had he been alone, he wouldn't have known whether to laugh or cry.
"Hmmm?" he answered, lifting his head up to look at Hermione, who had twisted around to face him.
"Do you know who was hiding these books by any chance, or why they wanted them?" she asked.
"Oh, it was one of my cousins, though I don't know what he wanted with them. You'll find his initials on the cover page at the bottom," he said.
She set the book on the bed in-between the two of them, turning around to sit completely on the bed, and flipped quickly to the cover page of the book she was working on. Then her entire body froze. Hermione did not even blink as she stared at the initials on the page. She didn't even look like she was breathing for a long moment.
"R.A.B.," she whispered, sounding somewhat strangled.
"Yes," Draco said carefully, wondering at her reaction. "Regulus A. Black."
Hermione took a deep breath, and shook her head as if she did not know if she believed this or not.
"Um, just out of curiosity," he asked, "you look like someone just hit you between the eyes. Why?"
Hermione finally took her eyes off the page, and looked at him. By the intensity of her gaze, he guessed that not only was Hermione trying to figure out what to tell him, but she was also now aware that he had skipped supper last night, put off most of his homework assignments today, and had forgotten to put on clean socks that morning.
"Because," she answered, "a...um...the Horcrux was in the possession of an R.A.B., and that's the only thing we know about it's location."
Draco blinked, surprised. "Do you know anything about what it looks like?" he asked. "He could have hid it in this house, for all we know."
Hermione just stared at him for a moment, some realization flickering in her eyes. "S***," she said, and then buried her face in her hands.
Draco scratched his head a moment, wondering if he had misheard her. He hadn't been aware that she even knew that word. Well, he thought that she probably had, but this was the first time he had ever heard her use it. "Come again?" he asked.
"I think that we threw it out in the trash," she mumbled.

Beryllium Health Information Hidden From Public
NOTE: The following is one of a series of case studies produced by the Union of Concerned Scientists' Scientific Integrity Program between 2004 and 2010 to document the abuses highlighted in our 2004 report, Scientific Integrity in Policy Making.
The head of the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) attempted to cover-up evidence of beryllium exposure among its inspectors and retaliated against a scientist who exposed the problem. OSHA also refused to provide exposure tests for the beryllium inspectors, and ignored mounting evidence of harm from occupational exposure at levels below its current standard.
Beryllium is a light metal used in nuclear reactors and weapons, computers, electronics, industrial ceramics and aerospace applications; it has a long history of occupational health problems.1 Beryllium is a human carcinogen and has long been known to cause Chronic Beryllium Disease (CBD), a painful and often fatal inflammatory disease of the lungs.2 At a 2002 meeting of OSHA officials, Administrator John L. Henshaw announced that the agency would not tell its inspectors whether they had been exposed to high levels of beryllium, and would not offer beryllium exposure screening tests, either to retired or current OSHA inspectors.3
Dr. Adam Finkel, then OSHA's Rocky Mountain States Regional Administrator, was disturbed to hear that Henshaw had a list of inspectors who may have been exposed to high levels of beryllium, but was not planning to inform them. Concerned for the inspectors' health, Finkel decided to tell an Inside OSHA reporter about the decision to withhold testing. When the article came out, Finkel was immediately reassigned.
Unlike most federal whistleblowers, Finkel won a whistleblower settlement from OSHA in 2003 and went on to win a lawsuit requiring OSHA to test its beryllium inspectors. The testing revealed that a surprisingly high 4% of inspectors—eleven out of the first 270 tested—were "sensitized" to beryllium, that is they had developed an immune response to the compound.4 Sensitization is the first indication that a person has an elevated risk to develop CBD. OSHA's own website advises that people who are sensitized should avoid further exposure to beryllium.5
In 2007 Finkel won another suit, this time requiring OSHA to release to the public its database of inspectors' tests.6 "My case was not really about scientific manipulation," he said. "I wasn't told to change my findings, because [OSHA] simply wasn't interested in the science at all."7
The current OSHA beryllium workplace standard is two micrograms per cubic meter of air (2 μg/m3) for an eight-hour work shift. The standard was worked out in the back of a taxicab in 1948 by two Atomic Energy Commission scientists who were concerned about the health of workers in the nation's weapons programs.8 Over time, studies showed that that workers were developing CBD at lower exposure levels, indicating that the beryllium safety standard was set too high. Other federal agencies, such as the Department of Energy and the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, have recommended exposure limits that are, respectively, 10 to 40 times stronger than OSHA's standard.9,10
Brush Wellman, the largest producer of beryllium in the United States, has long lobbied against stronger workplace standards. The company contracted with the public relations firm Hill and Knowlton to highlight uncertainty and sow doubt about scientific studies linking beryllium exposure to health problems.11,12
Despite the mounting scientific evidence, Henshaw turned down a 2001 petition to tighten the standard. In doing so, OSHA cited "data gaps" on how many workers were exposed and on the reliability of a screening test.13 Furthermore, OSHA accepted editing input and held a conference call with Brush Wellman prior to issuing a separate 2002 bulletin for dental lab workers (who may be exposed when, for instance, sanding beryllium-containing dental ceramics). Many of Brush Wellman's suggestions made it into the bulletin, including language that cast doubt on the effectiveness of the screening tests used to detect beryllium sensitization.
OSHA epidemiologist Peter Infante, who resigned shortly after the dental workers' beryllium bulletin was issued, said the bulletin had pushed him into retirement. "You have to fight and beat your head against the wall just to maintain the scientific integrity of the document," Infante said.14

By Francisco Salazar
With all that Alfredo Angulo has gone through in his life, it is understandable for him to want to hurt people in the ring. Or to have that scowl on his face right before he enters the ring before a fight.
Growing up on the streets of Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico, Angulo did what he had to do survive. Delivering pizza. Working at a carniceria (meat market) as a butcher.
Life was not very grand Angulo, who wondered where life would take him.
However, no one, not even Angulo, expected for him to be detained for over seven months, where his life and boxing career were temporarily in limbo.
Angulo found his freedom, thanks to the tireless efforts of lawyers, managers, promoter, and media. This new lease on his boxing career has made Angulo stronger physically and mentally, which could spell trouble for the super welterweight division.
Angulo will fight Jorge Silva in a scheduled 10 round bout on Saturday night at the Sports Arena in Los Angeles, CA. The bout will precede the 12 round junior welterweight bout between Amir Khan and Carlos Molina.
The bout will headline a Golden Boy Promotions card and will be televised live on Showtime.
Angulo returned to the ring after a year layoff, coupled with the seven months he was in a detention center near El Centro, CA, on November 10th to knock out Raul Cazarez in the first round.
It was his first time in the ring since November 5th of last year, when he was stopped in the sixth round at the hands of James Kirkland. It was the bout that featured one of the best rounds of the year, if not the best, as Kirkland and Angulo each dropped one another in a scintillating first round that had the thousands in attendance and those around the world on their feet.
Now Angulo faces Silva (19-2-2, 15 KOs), a hard-hitting welterweight who is unbeaten in his last three bouts. In his last bout on October 6th, Silva fought to a hard-fought 10 round majority decision draw to unbeaten Yoshihiro Kamegai.
When Angulo makes that walk from the locker room to the ring on Saturday, he will attempt to suppress the same butterflies when he made the walk to the ring at Staples Center on November 10th. Chants of his nickname "Perro" will resonate from inside the arena, something that touched Angulo deep down.
"When I walked to the ring in my last fight and to hear the crowd chanting my name, it almost made me cry," Angulo told Boxingscene.com in a phone interview this week. "To have the people support me and for the love that I felt, it made me feel very happy."
Although Angulo scored a resounding first round knockout over Cazarez last month, the boxing world still does not know if he could compete with upper echelon of the 154-pound division.
Angulo now has the services of trainer Virgil Hunter, who is the longtime trainer of Andre Ward. Some wonder if the relationship between Angulo and Hunter will be effective, considering Hunter has trains a boxer, while Angulo's reputation has been as an aggressive puncher.
To Angulo, who was trained by Clemente Medina, the move to Hunter has been beneficial.
"I have heard of people doubting my move to my current trainer (Hunter)," said Angulo (21-2, 18 KOs). "People haven't realized the work we've put in. However, Virgil is a good trainer. I've shortened my punches a great deal. Training camp has gone well."
The boxing world will see in the next couple of bouts if Angulo could still compete and be a major player in the super welterweight division. There are a number of lucrative fights that could be made for Angulo, including countryman and WBC super welterweight champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez.
However, Angulo does not want to get ahead of himself. He has to take care of matters against Silva. In the sport of boxing, particularly in 2012, no one should be taken lightly.
"I have my obligation with Silva on Saturday. But after the 15th (of December) I am more than willing to fight any of the champions. I will be more than ready to fight against them any day, any month, any time. I'll be happy to fight against them."
As if Angulo did not have the hunger to become a world champion before he was detained, he is starving to fight for championship gold.
The time he spent inside the detention center humbled him more than his humbled self, opening his eyes to some of the personal tragedies he saw from other immigrants. While the debate rages on in this country about illegal immigration, Angulo asserts it is more about a human rights deal.
Seeing first-hand what people are capable of just to have a better life, whether it is right or wrong, has motivated Angulo that much more.
"I'm a true believer that something good comes out of something bad. There is always a silver lining to what happens in life. From what I've seen, I'm motivated to do train hard and do well. Not just in the ring but outside of it.
Aside from creating a foundation to assist people who have been in his situation, Angulo has decided to grow out his hair to donate it to Locks of Love. The non-profit organization provides hairpieces to children who are suffering from cancer.
Angulo has a likeable personality in the ring, which is why people are endeared to him and his intentions. He may or may not win a world title belt, but Angulo has been allowed to write another chapter in his life.
Even if fighting is his game, fighting the challenges he has faced or will face in his life is his name. No matter what those challenges are, Angulo will go down fighting. Besides, does he know any other way?

Own it and burn, turd.
Anyone who votes for these treasonous (yes, treasonous) bills is not fit to hold office and should be run out of town on a rail. Vote yes to bills like this and you become the enemy forever.....no other way to say it.

The fifth island focuses on Tennyson as a publishing phenomenon. Groups of works show his extensive dramatic writing, his relationship with the American publishing house of Ticknor and Fields, his reluctant republication of long-suppressed early poems to combat unauthorized piracies, his steady stream of new poetry, and his final canonization in the posthumous Eversley Edition (1907-1908). The theme here is Tennyson's representative status as the first major English poet to make his career following the revolutionary nineteenth-century developments in book production and marketing.
Partly because he wanted a higher return from these increased sales to meet an increasingly expensive lifestyle, partly because the trusted original owner Edward Moxon had died in 1858, Tennyson became dissatisfied with his long-time publishers Moxon and transferred his works to a series of other publishers — Alexander Strahan (1869-73), Henry S. King (1874-78), Charles Kegan Paul (1879-83), and finally, from 1884, the eminently respectable firm of Macmillan & Co.
Sometimes book-collectors complain that Tennyson's later works are bibliographically uninteresting because they all look very much the same. Throughout the Victorian period, each title was printed from stereotype plates, and the plates continued in use even when Tennyson changed from publisher to publisher. Hence, Tennyson's later first editions and the many reprintings that the market required appear increasingly standardized. In fact, however, these similarities may hide many small alterations of text, and these "green Tennysons," once dismissed as worthless reprints, are now of increasing scholarly significance.
The Dramas
In the 1870's, Tennyson began a series of historical dramas and other plays, initially for the famous actor-manager Henry Irving, aiming to fill the historical gaps in and around Shakespeare's dramatic version of English history. The historical plays called for elaborate and costly staging, and they have seldom been revived since their Victorian productions.
Queen Mary: A Drama
London: Henry S. King, 1875.
First staged with Henry Irving as Philip of Spain and Kate Bateman as Queen Mary in April 1876 at the Lyceum Theater, London.
Harold: A Drama
London: Henry S. King, 1877.
First produced by the Yale University Dramatic Association in 1915.
London: Macmillan, 1884.
First staged with Henry Irving as Becket and Ellent Terry as Rosamund in February 1893 at the Lyceum Theater, London.
The Cup and The Falcon
London: Macmillan, 1884.
The Cup was first produced by Henry Irving at the Lyceum Theater, London, in January 1881 and The Falcon by Hare and Kendal at the St. James's Theater, London, in December 1879.
"The Promise of May"
in Locksley Hall Sixty Years After, etc.
London & New York: Macmillan, 1886.
First staged in November 1882 at the Globe Theater, London.
The Foresters, Robin Hood and Maid Marion
London & New York: Macmillan, 1892.
Following a staged reading in London to preserve copyright, The Foresters was first performed with John Drew as Robin Hood in March 1892 at Daly's Theater, New York.
Emily Tennyson
List of Tennyson's Literary Income, 1859-65
from June Steffenson Hagen, Tennyson and His Publishers
London: Macmillan, 1979.
This handwritten list of Tennyson's receipts from the Moxon firm shows the astonishing impact of Tennyson's income, first from the 1859 Idylls and then from Enoch Arden in 1864. Tennyson's income from Enoch Arden in the first few months alone would have paid even a well-salaried schoolmaster or clergyman for over fifty years.
Tennyson and His American Publishers
Through most of Tennyson's career, British authors could not obtain copyright for their books in the United States, but the prominent Boston publishing firm of Ticknor and Fields took special pride in being Tennyson's "authorized" American publisher. Ticknor's plan for a (pirated) collection of Tennyson's early poems had been one factor in persuading him to prepare the 1842 collection in England, and thereafter Ticknor sent Tennyson occasional payments and received early proofs of his forthcoming books. The images show how Ticknor usedTennyson's written authorization on the title-verso in place of the normal copyright notice. They also include two different publication formats, the standard brown cloth Ticknor used for most publications and one of the small "Blue-and-Gold" giftbook reprints, which Ticknor originally developed especially for Tennyson's works and then used for many other authors.
Alfred Tennyson
The Lover's Tale
London: C. Kegan Paul, 1879.
Tennyson arranged the belated publication of this early narrative poem solely to counteract the several pirated editions already on the market. He had written it as an undergraduate, and it had actually been set in type for his Moxon volume in 1832. At the last minute, Tennyson withdrew it as "too full of faults," though Hallam commented on the cancellation, "You must be point blank mad."
Tennyson's Later Poetic Volumes
By contrast with the mixed reception of Tennyson's plays, his poetry continued to be popular with a wide readership. The later volumes were all collections of shorter works, including popular patriotic ballads like "The Revenge" in the 1880 volume, philosophical poems such as "The Ancient Sage" and "Vastness," and newly-apprehensive political works such as "Locksley Hall Sixty Years After" (important enough politically to be reviewed by the Prime Minister himself, W. E. Gladstone).
Texts shown include Ballads and Other Poems (Kegan Paul, 1880), Tiresias and Other Poems (Macmillan, 1885), Locksley Hall Sixty Years After, etc. (Macmillan, 1886), Demeter and Other Poems (Macmillan, 1889), andThe Death of Œnone, Akbar's Dream, and Other Poems(Macmillan, 1892).
Alfred Tennyson
The Death of Œnone, Akbar's Dream, and Other Poems
London & New York: Macmillan, 1892.
No. 435 of 500 special copies, original white cloth.
This was the last of Tennyson's poetic volumes and is unusual in being published not only in the familiar small green-bound format (above) but also in a special limited larger-format collector's edition. The Stoddart engraving of Tennyson shown here served as the latter's frontispiece.
The Works of Alfred, Lord Tennyson
The Eversley Edition, nine volumes
London: Macmillan, 1907-1907.
From the collection of Patrick Scott.
From the 1860's successive publishers had persuaded the poet to allow his separate works to be issued together as the Cabinet Edition, the People's Edition, the Library Edition, and so on, but Tennyson held out firmly against the provision of any annotation. After his death, his son, Hallam, Lord Tennyson, gathered Tennyson's final textual correction and scattered comments on the poem for an authorized collected edition, the Eversley edition, shown here. While the text itself has been superseded by modern research, the annoatations still represent an important primary source. The first volume is opened to show the forntispiece portrait of Tennyson in 1891 by G. F. Watts.
Edward Hull
from Alfred J. Church,, The Laureate's Country
London: Seeley, 1891.
Aldworth House, on the top of the Blackdown Hills in Surrey, was built for Tennyson to the designs of his friend J. T. Knowles as a summer retreat from the vacation crowds near his long-time home Farringford, on the Isle of Wight. Some of the elaborate exterior stonework and interior woodwork reflects Tennyson's description of Arthur's Camelot in Idylls of the King.
Alfred Tennyson
Crossing the Bar
from Demeter and Other Poems
London: Macmillan, 1889.
This poem (also displayed in its fair-copy manuscript form) grew from one of Tennyson's experiences while waiting for a boat to cross the Solent to his home on the Isle of Wight. Tennyson directed that this poem should always be placed last in any collection of his work. A musical setting was sung at his funeral at Westminster Abbey in 1892 and is still found in some hymnals. The illustration here, "Crossing the Bar," was published in Punch on 15 October 1892, nine days after Tennyson's death.

College Football: 10 Essential Needs for Every TailgaterJune 30, 2008
While the true die-hard college football fan is ready for the start of another football season as soon as the final whistle blows, the average college football enthusiast typically starts to fiend for college football about this time of the summer.
Both the true die-hard and average fan wish college football was played year round, but most are intelligent enough to realize that football needs a break from time to time as well. That being said, these same people start to get antsy and begin correlating their fall schedules in order to prepare for the start of football season, more importantly the tailgating season.
This antsiness (made up word) primarily coincides with the beginning of summer. We all find ways to cope with the football off-season. There are the NBA guys, us NASCAR guys, and the baseball purists (you know, those guys who don't mind watching a mid-summer's three game set between the Royals and Orioles).
However, once summer is in full swing, we all become the little kid in the back of his parent's Suburban on a long vacation trip. That little kid can remain quiet and find ways to occupy himself for much of the travel time, but once he can see the light at the end of the tunnel, he forgets about all things that kept him occupied for the other four hours and 23 minutes.
So, what do we do to occupy ourselves for the other 45 minutes? The married men are always given chores to do, but nothing that can truly divert our attention away from the soon to be football season.
The single guy, other than the occasional one night fling, doesn't have the luxury, or curse depending on how you look at, of having that special someone giving him chores to occupy his time.
Regardless, all men must find ways to get us through what are the dog days of summer. So, after this long intro into what I feel will be a very productive meeting, I have compiled a list of 10 things that are essential for your football tailgate. Thanks to me, I have filled your two months of waiting by providing a list of must haves which are guaranteed to make your tailgate spectacular. Ensuring that all items on this list are in their upright and locked positions will make these next two months fly by. Enjoy!!!
10.) Necessary Transportation. The rest of this list is basically irrelevant if your tailgate doesn't have the necessary logistics. Chances are someone in your group either has a truck or an SUV. If no one in your circle has either of these, stop reading this article. Or, go out and buy yourself a truck, then continue reading. Ideally, having two or more utility vehicles will do, but in reality, if you have at least one utility ride to handle the big stuff, you should be all right.
9.) Arrive Early. Tailgating is almost a national pastime in some parts of the country during the fall. The lackadaisical tailgater may think its no big deal to arrive at his tailgate around lunchtime. However, this simply does not apply to those truly serious about being a successful tailgater.
You must always plan out with your friends what is the best time to arrive for tailgating. There are certain criteria to consider as well. Always consider the opponent. If it is a big time SEC game, chances are people are going to arrive early. If it is opening weekend, it doesn't matter who the opponent is, people have waited since November to tailgate once again, thus arriving early is key. If it is midseason, and LSU is playing Middle Tennessee, arriving about an hour or so later than usual is sufficient.
8.) A Good Location. It is important to every tailgate to find a good location where much fun can be had. You don't want to pick the wrong spot and be stuck tailgating next to a bunch of squares. Also, you have to think about the intangibles.
First, you want to set up a tailgate somewhere so that your vehicle will remain in the same zip code. Next, always think about where your closest restrooms are located. Lastly, you must pick out a spot where there is lots of action. Having others around only makes tailgating that much more fun.
7.) Furniture and Appliances (chairs, tables, ice chests, radio, tv, etc). When you get to your tailgate spot, you gotta have a place to sit. Investing in chairs and the like is a smart move. Having tables to put food on is always a good thing. Of course, you are going to need ice chests to keep the beer good and cold. Lastly, you must have some form of medium.
Also, you must think about what you will use to power said medium. An inverter that can plug into a vehicle is good. And you can always invest in a small generator. Remember, you must have something for the generator to keep the noise and fumes down to a minimum. Or spend the extra money for one of those quiet generators.
6.) EZ-UP Tents. This is essential to making any tailgate a success. And not any old tent will do. You have to go with the EZ-UP Tents. Too many times over the years my friends and I have watched and laughed in amazement at people who show up to tailgate with either a screened in camping style tent or one of those tents that are in hundreds of pieces. The EZ-UP is the only way to go. If you don't already have one, or if your tent resembles a jigsaw puzzle, do yourself a favor and spend a few extra dollars on the aforementioned EZ-UP Tent. And no, the folks at EZ-UP are not paying me.
5.) JJ Clancy. Some of you might be asking yourself what is a JJ Clancy? Well, JJ can be anyone. More specifically, JJ is the one friend that no tailgate can do without. His entertainment quality is second to none. He is the one guy who is ready to drop anything, regardless of importance, at the drop of a hat if it means tailgating success.
He promises he will take care of the entertainment (television, ice chest radio, Direct TV, etc) but never has the proper equipment so that these amenities can be enjoyed (battery for said radio, and subscription service for the Direct TV). He provides outlandish ideas without thinking how much money it might cost. But from that enthusiasm, misguided as it might be, comes commitment. If you tell him to be there at 6:00am to help set up, he is there.
4.) Good Food and Good Beer. If you are going to take all the necessary steps so far, it would not be complete without a good food menu. In my opinion, you are not serious about tailgating if you go out there with the idea that you will just grab a bite to eat from the student union. That is designed for the folks who get out there at 2:00 in the afternoon and need to pass some time before heading to the stadium.
That is just not good enough.
A solid food menu only makes your tailgate more special. And live on the edge a little. Don't bring your little grill every week and cook some frozen hamburgers and hot dogs. Keep the menu diverse. There are plenty of things that are easy to prepare that don't require plenty of labor. A good example of how to make your menu diverse is to base it around a central theme of your choice. It makes it more fun.
Let's face it, we can compile another list of 10 reasons why beer is important at any tailgate. Others might prefer to bring mixed drinks and such, but it doesn't get any simpler than beer. Also, once you have arrived and your beer is iced down and you are ready to sit and relax, be sure to designate someone as your personal beer bitch.
Finding someone gullible is the key. The beer bitch is usually gullible and doesn't arrive at the tailgate as early as the others. Also, he is the guy who comes with his beer, and then asks if he can bum room in someone's ice chest. This has beer bitch written all over it. Remember it.
3.) Recreational Activities - If you are following these steps to the tee, you must bring along some type of recreational activity. If you have a good location with plenty of open room, you have to have a football. It is considered illegal in some states to tailgate without a football. Another thing to consider is holey board.
When the beer starts to flow and people start to arrive, the holey board games get very intense. Also, if you tailgate at the parade grounds at LSU and you get out there early, a pitching wedge and a nine iron along with about half a dozen golf balls is a good idea. Practice your short game while waiting for the slackers to arrive. If you are a sit down tailgater, a deck of cards is always a good idea.
2.) Good Friends - No doubt that a good time can be had at a tailgate with just a core group of friends. But don't be afraid to let some of your friends invite some of their friends, no matter how much they mooch off of your food and beer. As far as tailgating is concerned, we believe the more the merrier. If the mooching continues after a while, then it is okay to kick their ass, but do it politely. Then, politely tell them that if they want to join in on the fun, it is time to contribute.
I got away from why I had this so high on the list. You being there with all of your closest friends celebrating one common thing is a high like no other. It's not like going to a party in college where everyone has their own separate agenda. Everyone at a tailgate is there for the same reason. It's a daylong event culminating with a football game at night.
1.) Dedication - Everything listed above is irrelevant if you don't have No.1. If you are going to tailgate seriously, certain sacrifices will have to be made. For those of you responsible for hauling much of the equipment, you must accept the fact that your vehicle will smell like ass for the entire fall season and part of the winter.
If you are going to tailgate with friends, make sure you tailgate with those friends who are as truly dedicated and psychotic as you. This may hurt other friends' feelings who want to arrive a bit later. That is their problem. If they want to arrive later and go somewhere else, oh well. If they want to arrive later and join you, welcome them with open arms. Also, be smart about your dedication.
Budget for your tailgate. Think about what needs to be done and start planning in the springtime.
There you have it. 10 things that are essential to making any tailgate a success. Please keep in mind that I am aware that there are other necessities, but I felt these were the most important. Now, that I have laid the groundwork, go out there and do me proud.

adm - Computer Definition
Multiplexers that have the capability to insert and extract individual lower speed channels (e.g., DS-1, DS-2, or DS-3) into a higher speed aggregate bit stream. ADM (see Figure A-2) offers considerable advantage over traditional time division multiplexers (TDM). The process of bit stuffing to adapt to slight clocking variations can require that a DS-3 frame be demultiplexed into its DS-2 and then DS-1 frames, which must be broken down into 24 DS-0 channels in order to extract and route an individual DS-0 channel.When that is accomplished, the process must be reversed to reconstitute the DS-3, minus the extracted DS-0. Contemporary T-carrier muxes are capable of add/drop multiplexing in the absence of stuff bits. Used extensively in SDH and SONET networks,ADMs perform the additional functions of dynamic bandwidth allocation, providing operation and protection channels, optical hubbing, and ring protection. In wavelength division multiplexing (WDM), an optical add/drop multiplexer (OADM) performs the same add/drop function on individual wavelengths. See also channel, DS-1, DS-2, DS-3, hub, multiplexer, OADM, SDH, SONET, T-carrier, TDM, wavelength, and WDM.

These are a NICE set of Tires. The photos don't do them justice. Some aggressive sidewalls on ALL sizes would have been nice. Select sizes do have that feature. But they look great on the truck and not rounded out looking tread like the photo appears. They are very aggressive but not loud at all. I expected a large amount of whining and a constant woa-woa-woa sound going down the highway as it is ALMOST a mud tread and great in the mud but I didn't get that. It is like a quiet mud meets all terrain tread.

True Infrastructure Fund Raises $1.8 Billion From Thailand IPO
True Telecommunications Growth Infrastructure Fund (TRUEIF), backed by billionaire Dhanin Chearavanont's True Corp. Pcl, raised 58.1 billion baht ($1.8 billion) in Thailand's second-biggest initial public offering.
The fund drew orders from foreign and domestic institutional investors as well as individual investors despite the political turbulence in the country, it said in an e-mailed statement. It will start trading on the Dec. 27, according to the statement.
Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra dissolved parliament on Dec. 9 and called for elections after weeks of street demonstrations in Bangkok to push for her ouster. Foreigners have sold a net $6.1 billion of Thai stocks this year, on course for the biggest annual outflow since Bloomberg began collecting the data in 1999.
Companies that went public in Thailand this year have fallen an average 6.9 percent when adjusted for market value, data compiled by Bloomberg show. CP Tower Growth Leasehold Property Fund, which owns offices and shopping centers in the Thai capital, has slumped 7.4 percent since its Dec. 16 debut after raising 9.8 billion baht.
TICON Industrial Growth Leasehold Property Fund, which raised 5.6 billion baht, has fallen 8.5 percent since it started trading Dec. 18.

Gov. David A. Paterson on Monday said he has requested Suffolk County and 16 other counties in the state be declared agricultural disaster areas due to crops destroyed by bad weather and blight.
A spokeswoman for the governor said he made the formal request was to the U.S. Department of Agriculture July 14.
The designation, if approved by U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, would allow farmers who lost a large portion of their crop in designated counties to obtain low interest federal loans.
The government sent the request on the prompting of the Suffolk County office of the agriculture department.
New York State Agriculture Commissioner Patrick Hooker today saw the damage first hand, touring Long Island farms hammered by a soggy June and July whose deluges have collectively had the effect of a hurricane, he said.
In addition to rain and cold, a disease known as late blight, resulting from a fungus, hit many of the state's potato and tomato farms, in some cases devastating entire crops.
Hooker stopped by and saw damage at Lewin Farms, a potato farm in Calverton; Schmitt Farms, a vegetable farm in Riverhead; Jamesport Vineyards in Cutchogue and One Woman Vineyard in Southold on the tour set up by the Long Island Farm Bureau.
Eric Fry, a winemaker at the Lenz Winery, in Peconic, said help was needed as the rain stopped many grapes from self-pollinating, killing a big chunk of the crop.
"This is major," Fry said. "We're estimating our crops are down about a third. Some people are down 50 percent or more. This has never happened to us before."
Ann Marie Borghese, owner of Castello di Borghese Vineyard, based in Cutchogue, said this has been the worst summer in many years.
"This is bad. Two years ago we had the best year ever on Long Island for the wine industry," she said. "To go from the most stellar year to this is a huge contrast."
She said in the past when vineyards experienced major losses, it was typically without the option of federal aid.
"There wasn't one single grape obtained [at one vineyard] after 365 days of hard work," she said of one disastrous year. "Nobody did anything for us then."
Borghese welcomed help for the area, but said she didn't know which or how many farmers would take advantage of it.
"Whenever you accept help, there's something attached to it," Borghese said. "There's no such thing as a free lunch. Each individual has to look at their farm."
Fry said he thinks it's important for the government to shed a little sun on the region.
"I don't think everybody's going to need that safety net," Fry said, adding, "It's not like they're handing you a grant. It's a loan. You have to pay it back."
Some farms felt less of a sting from a bad summer. Barbarfa Shinn, owner of Shinn Estate Vinyeards, in Mattituck, said her vineyard wasn't as hard hit as some others.
And Fry said good weather could still rescue the remainder of the crop.
"If it stays sunny and warm, we'll pull out," Fry said. "We can still make good wine. That's not determined already."
Suffolk County is the biggest agricultural county in the state, including 3,000 acres of vines and more than 30 wineries.

obviously ending one is the best. the third one is plain ridiculous, and second isnt as strong. you started off great and only lost strength. i love all these ten little indian type things! i think you should work on greater detail, and plot setup and you'll have a great story!

Tyler N. your story was awesome, I really liked that you provided several endings for your story. It showed how creative you really were. The only thing i would change is how much description you put into it...it kind of gets the story off track but other than than i really liked your morbid metaphors and intresting use of the english literature!!!! by the way ending No. 2 was my favorite because it left me hanging(no pun intended:) for more that could happen with this ruthless killer!
