noun (adj). tó-su(r) - any disc golfer having not earned the right to empty their bag on hole #19 at Morley (against course etiquette anyway). This "right" is set aside for those that actually possess the physical ability to reach ("park") or surpass the current pin position(s) on hole #19 with their drives.
"Tossers" will confuse most of the following attributes as justification to empty their bag… - Many "play bands" on their quad-straps - Their tee shot (distance in feet) = (their weight) +15ft - A full Innova Competition bag or larger - "Brand spankin new" discs - Own one or more Discraft Nuke(s) - Are wearing a Huk-Lab or DD hat or shirt
(Now so no one takes offense, this writer can 1) barely out throw his weight 2) has 2 new Innova Destroyers and 3) owns a Huk-Lab tek-dry shirt. I know my place.)
If you are still not sure if you are a "Tosser" listen for feedback. If you hear "WOWs! after your throws, you're good to go. If there is silence or mumbling coming from behind as you walk of the pad, you probably are a "Tosser".
(note: file under humor / laugh at yourself once in a while)

TUSCALOOSA | The third annual "Runway Fashion Explosion" will be at 7 tonight at the Bryant Conference Center.
TUSCALOOSA | The third annual "Runway Fashion Explosion" will be at 7 tonight at the Bryant Conference Center.
Tanika Rice, the event coordinator, said the show highlights the designs and talent of local fashion designers, stylists, models and some retailers.
This year's show will feature the work of five local designers and three stylists. Forty-two local models will show off the creations.
"The show is little different," Rice said. "It's urban, like BET's 'Rip the Runway,' plus high fashion. When you go to a fashion show, you're looking for something exotic, something you can't get in the store. It's also going to be a hair show where there's some acting involved and choreographed scripts. So you get a variety.
"This year we're going to have a few celebrity stylists and designers as well," she said. "We're getting some backing from people who have had success in the fashion industry in Atlanta. So I guess we've started to create a buzz.
"It was hard to do that because when big stylists hear Tuscaloosa or Alabama, they don't think it's going to be a real show. People don't take Alabama seriously. But I'm excited that some people are taking it seriously this year and coming to the show. There is a lot of real talent here in Tuscaloosa."
In the fashion show's first year, about 700 people attended, a higher number than expected. Last year, the show grew even larger with an attendance of 950. This year, Rice said she expects well more than 1,000 people to attend.
"We've already sold half the seats," she said.
Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door. They can be bought from Archibald & Woodrow's BBQ, Beauty and Beyond and City Gear.
The contact information for the designers and stylists will be on the event's program for anyone who's interested in purchasing something they see displayed.
Reach Jamon Smith at firstname.lastname@example.com or 205-722-0204.

Pomona Events, Coupons, Reviews!
Our outing to Medieval Times was everything I was looking for in a family outing. The littlest one (4) sat still and was genuinely entertained throughout the entire event...something that rarely happens. My oldest (9) was too afraid to excuse herself to the restroom in fear of missing something. The food was on point and had generous portions; 1/2 a rotisserie chicken PER person 😮, soup, garlic bread, corn on the cob, 1/2 a potato, and dessert. Parking was easy and the admission time was short, honestly I couldn't have asked for a more smooth family outing.

Coulrophobia Cakes
Coulrophobia is the fear of clowns. Plenty of adults have it these days, and this vintage photo from Jessica E. may explain why:
Rachel W. and I agree that the baker responsible for splitting this cake must be a sufferer:
Plus, Melanie K. learned that bakeries today are still carrying on the proud tradition of traumatizing the kiddies:
Or are those zombie clowns? Hmm. Better eat their brains before they eat yours, Lulu.
Because apparently this baker does.
Also, how bad does your name have to be that you abbreviate it on your own birthday cake? Sephiroth? Scooter? Sheldon? Scooby? (Yes, my knowledge of silly "s" names is limited to cartoons and video games.) Guys - your nominations?

Visualizing Request-Flow Comparison
Distributed systems are complex to develop and administer, and performance problem diagnosis is particularly challenging. When performance degrades, the problem might be in any of the system's many components or could be a result of poor interactions among them. Recent research efforts have created tools that automatically localize the problem to a small number of potential culprits, but effective visualizations are needed to help developers understand and explore their results. This paper compares side-by-side, diff, and animation-based approaches for visualizing the results of one proven automated localization technique called
request-flow comparison
. Via a 26-person user study, which included real distributed systems developers, we identify the unique benefits that each approach provides for different usage modes and problem types.

From a Land of Riches to the Barrens: The Basin and Range
The Sierra Nevada is the realm of the cool dark forests and the high glaciated peaks. The Basin and Range is a place where sagebrush reigns, and practically the only trees are dumpy little pinyon pines and juniper. It's a hard dry land. We crossed Montgomery Pass into Nevada and had a close look at Boundary Peak, which at 13,147 feet (4,007 m), is the highest point in Nevada. Ironically it is not the highest peak in the mountain range in which it is situated. Adjacent Montgomery Peak is 13,441 feet (4,097 m) tall, but as the name suggests, the state boundary falls between the two. A bit farther south, White Mountain Peak soars to 14,252 ft (4,344 m), the third highest peak in California.

Cyler Miles' comeback efforts not enough for Huskies
Early fumbles hurt Huskies in 41-31 setback against No. 13 UCLA
Seattle Times staff reporter
UW @ Oregon State,7:30 p.m., ESPN2
PASADENA, Calif. — Washington's quarterback of the future couldn't help the Huskies overcome their persistent problems of the past.
Redshirt freshman Cyler Miles replaced injured senior quarterback Keith Price at halftime and led a valiant comeback effort Friday night, but UW's road struggles continued in a 41-31 defeat against No. 13 UCLA before 68,106 at the Rose Bowl.
The Huskies (6-4, 3-4 Pac-12) couldn't overcome two lost fumbles on their first two possessions — giving UCLA (8-2, 5-2) a quick 14-0 lead — and UW lost for the ninth time in their past 12 conference road games. The Huskies are 0-3 on the road in Pac-12 play this season, and they have lost eight in a row to UCLA in the Rose Bowl dating back to 1995.
"It's probably good that we have an extra day to regroup," UW coach Steve Sarkisian said, "because that locker room is hurting right now."
Price was in obvious pain after getting hit hard on consecutive plays late in the second quarter. The Compton, Calif., product, playing in this historic venue for the first time, was slow to rise after a failed third-down throw, then walked to the sideline favoring his right throwing shoulder.
An X-ray taken at halftime on the shoulder was negative, Sarkisian said. An MRI is planned for Saturday.
"I don't know, man. I don't know," Price said, when asked about the severity of the shoulder injury. "I'm just praying."
The Huskies travel to Oregon State next Saturday, where they haven't won since 2003.
Miles, in his first meaningful action for UW, offered hope with his second-half relief appearance.
"I was excited when I got the word," he said. "My teammates just kept telling me, 'We trust you.' I was excited and I put my trust in them and I was comfortable and I felt ready."
Miles completed 15 of 22 passes for 149 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions.
"He didn't look like a backup to me tonight," Sarkisian said.
Trailing 27-17 at halftime, UW got a boost when linebacker Princeton Fuimaono forced a fumble on the Huskies' kickoff to start the third quarter. That set up Miles and the UW offense at the UCLA 26-yard line. Eight plays later, Miles found a wide-open Austin Seferian-Jenkins in the end zone for a 1-yard touchdown as UW closed the gap to 27-24 three minutes into the third quarter.
It was the second touchdown pass of Miles' career, and first against an FBS opponent.
UW's Travis Coons — moments after converting a daring fake punt from UW's 25-yard line — had a 47-yard field-goal attempt blocked late in the third quarter.
Then early in the fourth quarter, with 10:07 left, Miles' pass on fourth-and-two from the UW 40 fell incomplete. On the next play, UCLA's Brett Hundley connected with Devin Lucien for a 40-yard touchdown to extend UCLA's lead to 41-24 with 9:57 left.
The Huskies got another glimpse of the future with true freshman Damore'ea Stringfellow having the best game of his career. Miles hit Stringfellow for a 14-yard touchdown with 8:01 left, with the 6-foot-3, 225-pound receiver refusing to go down and getting pushed into the end zone for his first career touchdown. That cut the UCLA lead to 41-31.
Stringfellow had eight catches for 147 yards after entering the week with just three catches all season.
"He has a chance to be a star for us," Sarkisian said.
With time winding down, Miles had back-to-back throws intercepted late in the fourth quarter to end the UW comeback attempt.
"The last two picks weren't great, but I thought he had some drives, stood in and threw and ran with good command," Sarkisian said. "I was actually very impressed."
It was a wild first half that featured two UW fumbles in the first four minutes, leading to a 14-0 lead for the Bruins.
UCLA linebacker-turned-fill-in running back Myles Jack — the former Bellevue High star — had three first-half touchdowns for the Bruins and seemed to relish each one as he motioned to the UW sideline. Jack's third touchdown pushed UCLA's lead to 27-7.
"He's a good kid," Sarkisian said. "We recruited him. He plays for those guys. He's a good player."
Jack added his fourth touchdown in the third quarter to extend UCLA's lead to 34-24. It was the fifth offensive touchdown scored by a UCLA defensive player, with defensive end Cassius Marsh hauling in a 2-yard pass from Hundley in the first quarter.
Washington's Bishop Sankey had 91 yards and one touchdown on 27 carries. Price finished 10 of 18 for 181 yards with one touchdown and two sacks.
The Huskies were called for 11 penalties for 113 yards. One questionable penalty against left guard Dexter Charles negated a Price touchdown pass to Stringfellow, and one pass-interference call on Sean Parker negated his interception in the first quarter.
"That was a frustrating game for us. It was a frustrating, frustrating game," Sarkisian said. "Obviously, you spot a team of that caliber that 14 points right off the bat and you give them that field position, it makes it hard to battle back."

This is the third installment of your 2012-13 Atlanta Hawks player profiles, and we're one-fifth of the way through the Hawks projected opening day roster (though we already lost Jordan Williams to a drowning death in the free agent pool). Up next we have Johan Petro the eight-year veteran (time flies when you're mediocre, doesn't it?) who came to the Hawks in the blockbuster deal that sent Joe Johnson to the Brooklyn Nets in return for five guys to help Danny Ferry move his stuff into his new office.
Petro is a legitimate 7-footer (thanks in part to his elongated head) who played 51 games last season, filling in as a starter for 10 of them. He is known mostly for his defense and ability to take up space. His role was a little larger last season on a struggling Nets team than it normally would be, and a slight drop in minutes should be expected this season.
High Point Of The 2011-12 Season- Despite shooting only 41.9% from the field last season, Petro was an unbelievable 100% from three-point land. Sure that 100% was really only 1-of-1, but the fact that a man who has trouble making layups consistently was able to make his only three point attempt of the season is still reason for celebration. However, Petro's three was not enough to lead the Nets to victory, as they lost that game to the Miami Heat in a nail-biter, 108-78.
Low Point Of The 2011-2012 Season- Petro had many games last season where it looked as though he was attempting to shoot a shot put ball rather than a basketball, but no game was worse than his April 3rd showing against the Los Angeles Lakers. In that game, Petro logged 20 minutes and did not score a point, while shooting 0-8 from the field. To make it worse, four out of those eight misses were layups.
However, Petro did redeem himself with this play which catapulted him into consideration for the Defensive Player of the Year award. However, that consideration was quickly rescinded during the very next play after voters saw Petro's vertical leap while attempting to block a Pau Gasol layup.
3 Reasons Why Hawks Fans Should Be Happy-
1. Both Zaza Pachulia and Petro wear the #27, and you have to believe that the number will be awarded to the better player of the two. This could work to the Hawks advantage, as Petro nipping at Zaza's heels for his number may act as a motivation for Zaza this season. If nothing else, pit the two players against each other in a layup contest to decide the winner. In that situation, even if neither of them win (which seems most likely), at least the fans do!
2. The acquisition of Petro fills a huge offseason need for the Hawks: somebody to match Joel Anthony's cranium size. In the past, as players such as Zaza and Josh Smith were forced to guard Anthony, the glare from his sweaty forehead incapacitated them and allowed Anthony to pick apart the defense. With Petro in town though the Hawks can match him up on Anthony, which enables the Hawks and Heat to effectively play 4-on-4 every time both players are in the game.
3. He might actually be the best Hawks third-string center in recent memory. While it is hard to gauge the contributions of Jason Collins, Erick Dampier, Randolph Morris, Solomon Jones, John Edwards, and Esteban Batista (mainly because they didn't actually contribute anything), it will be a nice change of pace to have a third center who has recently started a few games somewhere else (sorry Dampier and Collins, that was a couple of years and 30 pounds ago).
Strengths- Petro moves reasonably well for a big man, and as a result he doesn't get beaten to the hoop by too many opposing centers. He has annoying hands on defense which sometimes leads to lots of quick fouls, but can also result in him poking balls away. He may also be good for one three pointer a season.
Weaknesses- He has trouble when under the basket, and doesn't rebound well for a seven-footer. He stands by himself a lot on offense, which could be good, but sometimes he still finds a way to get in the way of his own players.
2012-13 Season Outlook- While the Nets didn't have much in terms of size after Brook Lopez went down with an injury, which allowed Petro to get a decent amount of minutes (15 a game), that won't be the case in Atlanta. Even if the Hawks do decide to shift the starting lineup to allow Zaza to start at center, the bulk of the minutes at the position will still go to Zaza and Al Horford. In games where Zaza is ineffective on defense or finds himself in foul trouble, Petro may be leaned on to play quality minutes however.
2012-13 Projected Role- Petro will be the typical third-string center who will be called upon to play smart defense and stay out of the way on offense. He may find himself in the middle of intense one-on-one battles against Jason Collins at certain points during the season however, as Collins attempts to show the Hawks that they made a mistake by not re-signing him.
2012-13 Projected Stats- Petro will most likely see a slight drop from last season's numbers, though the ability to avoid playing against starting units may help to increase his field goal percentage.
Stay on the lookout for the rest of the 2012-13 Atlanta Hawks player profiles, as I will continue to go down the depth chart one by one until every player has been profiled. Below is my projected depth chart, though what the Hawks decide to do is anyone's guess currently.
PG- Jeff Teague / Devin Harris
SG- Anthony Morrow / Louis Williams / John Jenkins
SF- Josh Smith / Kyle Korver / DeShawn Stevenson
PF- Al Horford / Ivan Johnson / Mike Scott
C- Zaza Pachulia / Johan Petro / Jordan Williams (Waived)
Up next is Mike Scott.

OKLAHOMA CITY — The top of the dry-erase board in the Nuggets' locker room at Chesapeake Energy Arena on Monday night had this phrase:
"And then there were nine …"
The most maddening theme of the Nuggets' season has been injuries, and two more players were forced to take a night off to heal, leaving the team with nine available players. Forwards Wilson Chandler and Jan Vesely did not play against the Oklahoma City Thunder in the first of Denver's two-game road trip.
Chandler has dealt with a strained left hip of late and is day to day, Nuggets coach Brian Shaw said.
Chandler recently had an injection in the hip to help it continue to heal. He has missed four games this season because of that hip, including the last two.
Vesely is dealing with a bruised left rib cage, which he suffered in the Nuggets' 105-102 win over the Washington Wizards on Sunday. There is no timetable for his return.
"I don't know how long that's going to take," Shaw said.
Nuggets players have missed 232 man games this season. Shaw has used 22 different starting lineups.
Brooks empathizes. The Nuggets entered their game against Oklahoma City as winners in seven of their previous 11 games. Oklahoma City coach Scott Brooks was asked what he saw that was different about them from the Nuggets team that struggled earlier.
"They've had injuries," Brooks said. "You feel for Coach Shaw in his first year with all of the injuries that he had to go through. But that's something that you go through as a team. You have to figure it out to continue to play competitive basketball, and they have been.
"It's tough to go through (injuries), but when you have them, you have to keep working toward the goals of the team."

MILWAUKEE (AP) Vander Blue scored a career-high 30 points to lead No. 25 Marquette to a 63-50 victory over South Florida on Monday night as the Golden Eagles moved into a first-place tie with Syracuse in the Big East.
Blue, who came into the game as the Golden Eagles' leading scorer at 13.9 points per game, made 13 of 20 shots from the field and scored 11 points during the big run that spanned both halves. The junior guard repeatedly sliced through the South Florida defense, driving to the basket and scoring on layups.
The Golden Eagles (15-4, 6-1 Big East), who have won eight of nine games, returned to the Top 25 on Monday after being out of the rankings last week.
South Florida (10-10, 1-7) opened the season 9-3 but has faltered since conference play began.

A Utah mom has been shopping for larger diapers after giving birth to a 14-pound baby boy.
Sara Brandon gave birth to her son, Joel Brandon Jr., or "J.J.," by cesarean section last May and was shocked by his size, especially since her last ultrasound estimated his weight as closer to 11 pounds.
"When they stuck him on the scale he was 14 pounds even," The doctor said it was the biggest baby he had ever delivered.
The delivery was a bit different from Brandon's previous birth experience with twin girls. Each girl weighed 4 pounds, and together they still weighed 6 pounds less than J.J.
"I had to have two [obstetricians] deliver him instead of one, because they knew he was going to be big," said Brandon. "They struggled to get him out."
According to Dr. Robert Barbieri, chief of obstetrics and gynecology at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, J.J. was more likely to be oversize because Brandon has type 1 diabetes.
"An interesting effect of insulin, if it's not taken in a sufficient amount, the glucose remains high, and the baby's glucose starts to rise," said Barbieri. "It's like giving the baby fertilizer and it grows very large."
Barbieri said approximately one out of 1,000 babies could weigh 11-pounds, and one out of every 100,000 could weigh 14 pounds. A 14-pound baby, he said, is extremely rare, because usually a doctor will induce labor if a baby appears oversize.
J.J. spent the first 10 days of his life in the neonatal intensive care unit because of lung problems, said Brandon. But since he's left the hospital, he's thrived.
"He's very calm, content and giggly. He sits with his sisters all day. He only cries if he's hungry or tired," Brandon told ABCNews.com. "He's an awesome little guy, or big guy."
13-Pound Baby Born Naturally in Germany
Brandon said that J.J. and the now 3-year-old twins can all wear the same size diaper in spite of the age difference.
Cases of women delivering large babies vaginally appear to be grabbing headlines in recent years. A 13-pound baby was born vaginally in Germany in July, and a baby weighing nearly 14 pounds was born vaginally to an Iowa woman in 2012.
But these hefty newborns pale in comparison to the baby born to Guinness World Record-holder Ann Bates of Canada. In 1879, Bate's newborn weighed in at a whopping 23 pounds, 12 ounces.

First EU e-Inclusion map measures the potential for improved digital literacy
An EU-27 survey of intermediary organisations operating on the education, social and employment sectors and providing IT training has produced a first ever assessment of the e-Inclusion intermediary sector. It accounts for a total of 250,000 organisations, or one e-Inclusion actor per every 2,000 inhabitants. One in two employs 10 staff or less and operates on a budget smaller than €100,000. Half of the e-Inclusion actors go further and offer employment–related training. And for two out of three, local government funding is the main financial resource.
Competence in using a computer and common office software has almost become a necessary skill to access the job market in the 21st century. About 85% of jobs in 2020 will require some sort of ICT skills, according to the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training (CEDEFOP). Moreover, there is an increasing shortage of ICT skilled labour in Europe. Digital literacy and skills hence become a pre-condition for employability.
Based on the evidence of this mapping exercise, 80% of the e-Inclusion organisations provide public access to computers, to Internet and to digital literacy training. Half of the organisations studied offer employment-related training such as online job seeking skills, application, CV development, as well as use of social media and other collaborative software.
Local governments appear to play a very important role as a funding source for e-Inclusion actors since almost 67% of organisations report this source as one of their top three. Local government funding is followed by national government funding (29%), European Union funding (25%), and usage/service fee revenue (22%) as the most important sources of funding
Close to 50% of the organisations have operating budgets of less than €100,000 and a small percentage of the organisations (11%) have budgets above €1 million. Understanding the sector which provides digital training outside formal education can help policymakers to shape guidelines for a more inclusive labour market, one of the main goals of the European Commission's Europe 2020 Strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth.
In March 2013, the European Commission launched a Grand Coalition for Digital Jobs, an EU wide multi-stakeholder partnership helping to address a shortfall in the number of European citizens with ICT professional skills and to exploit the employment creation potential of ICT. It will be a key European policy challenge to support the innovation processes created and the services provided by e-Inclusion organisations. Creating the conditions for a larger involvement of the private sector and strengthening the role of the e-Inclusion actors may prove essential to address the challenges of digital exclusion, employability and labour shortage of ICT skilled workers.

Why Republicans still run K Street
Democrats control the White House and the Senate, but you wouldn't know it by looking down K Street.
Republicans hold more than 30 of the 50 highest-profile, in-house lobbying jobs in town, a POLITICO analysis found. That doesn't even include lobbying shops and law firms, which have long been Republican-dominated.
Story Continued Below
That means the biggest special influence players in Washington are relying more and spending big on a party that's more on the outs than in, to make their case in the halls of Congress and to the White House.
( Also on POLITICO: Barry Jackson's next move)
The reasons Republicans remain the kings on K Street vary. Some companies bet that Republicans would take back the Senate and the White House in 2012, beginning the process of scooping up talent months ahead of the election. There are also fewer Democrats coming off the Hill or out of the White House who want to pursue corporate lobbying.
But there's a longer-term issue at play, too. The business world tends to hire more Republicans, anyway, since their beliefs align more closely with those of corporate clients, and potential Republican hires tend to have more corporate experience or a proven record leading an association or in-house team.
"There seems to be a philosophical and political bias against Democrats," McCormick Group's Ivan Adler said.
The trend has been on full display in many of the most recent big hires.
In the past year, Republicans have been snapping up plum positions: Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty got the CEO-level spot at the Financial Services Roundtable. Former Arizona Sen. Jon Kyl jumped to Covington & Burling. Rep. Jo Ann Emerson even decided to bolt early for the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association — after winning reelection.
Other top moves: Former New York Republican Rep. Susan Molinari scored Google's top lobbying spot; Republican Party operative Maria Cino joined HP; and former Mitt Romney operative Drew Maloney jumped to Hess Corp.
( Also on POLITICO: Jon Kyl joins Covington & Burling law firm)
And Republicans already lead many of Washington's most high-profile groups — from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to the Business Roundtable to Ford Motor Co. to Home Depot.
To quantify the trend, POLITICO relied on the expertise of longtime lobbying reporters to compile a list of the most influential companies and trade groups. The analysis took into account association pay, amount spent on lobbying and the groups' influence on the Hill. Party affiliation was determined through public records, employment history and interviews.
Former Rep. Billy Tauzin told POLITICO that Republicans may dominate downtown "because most associations are business groups, which have, generally speaking, a closer association with the Republican Party."
Still, the Louisiana Democrat-turned-Republican said the role of top in-house talent is to rise above partisanship.
"I am now, I have been and I remain a loyal Republican, but the role of the trade association leaders is to maintain relationships with people who are willing and able to support your positions on either side of the aisle," Tauzin said. The former PhRMA chief was replaced in 2010 by veteran trade association executive — and big Republican donor — John Castellani.
The bias toward hiring Republicans was on display over the past two years when corporations and trade groups continued to bet on Romney and Republican chances of taking back the Senate when making hiring decisions and in choosing to retain their top GOP talent.

Midwest Region Welcomes
Department of the Interior Secretary Jewell
Last week it was my distinct privilege and honor to welcome Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewel to our region for a visit. While here, she was able to see a sampling of some of the many great things we are doing at Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge and the Prairie Wetlands Learning Center and hear about many more things being accomplished across the region.
While in Minnesota, the Secretary announced the Banking On Nature report which highlights the role that our National Wildlife Refuges play as strong economic engines for local communities. The report features 12 refuges in the Midwest Region, including the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge, which recent data show generates $226 million in economic effects for local economies or about $46 for every $1 in budget expenditure.
The Secretary's visit was a great opportunity to discuss with her our landscape level conservation efforts here in the Midwest Region and the stressors that many of our fish and wildlife resources face. You can learn more about Secretary Jewell's visit in this issue by clicking here.
This month is joyful for a couple of more reasons. The first is Veterans Day, an opportunity to offer our sincere thanks and gratitude to those who have served and defended our country. The Service has many veterans currently working with us, in addition to the many nationwide who have made great sacrifices for our nation. I ask each of you to pause and reflect on these veterans, whose service-before-self attitude we have all benefited from.
This month also brings the opportunity to gather with family and friends and enjoy great food, perhaps a football game or two, and to pause at Thanksgiving to reflect upon the fantastic year this truly has been. The Fish and Wildlife Service has certainly been blessed this year thanks to your hard work and professionalism even in the face of the challenges we have endured.
I will again ask each of you to exercise the good safety sense that has become second nature for us. Stay safe, keep up the great work and have fun.
Enjoy this month's issue of Inside Region 3!

To the editor:
Now it should be clear to all that the Obama administration has been on a rampage of intimidation, smearing, investigating and financially damaging every political opponent.
Early in 2010, President Obama began deriding conservative groups as "tea baggers," and vice president Joe Biden compared them to terrorists. In case the IRS missed the point, Obama raised the threat of illegality when he said there are groups with harmless-sounding names that are running millions of dollars of ads against Democrat candidates.

text: Overly Critical Man 3,464 Posted September 11, 2013 SMACKDOWN:* Lilian Garcia comes out first to sing O' Canada. Michael Cole comes out to heat while JBL comes out to a big pop and his name being chanted.* Big Show opens this week's SmackDown. He has to apologize for his behavior on Monday to Triple H for 'not doing a simple job.' He has to apologize to the WWE Universe for not doing his job and letting us down. Triple H interrupts to a mixed reaction. Triple H explains to Show how a business is ran. 'Asshole' and 'What?' chants are loud. Triple H suspends Big Show for a night without pay and says Big Show is broke, so it's a big deal to him. The Shield interrupts and Big Show fights them all off for a few minutes before Roman Reigns destroys him with a steel chair and they hit the triple powerbomb to close the segment. Really fun stuff. Crowd was hot.* Michael Cole will interview Curtis Axel and Paul Heyman later tonight. * Alicia Fox, Layla and Aksana vs. Naomi, Natalya and Brie Bella is up next. Natalya gets a nice pop but AJ Lee comes out to a better pop. AJ is on commentary. AJ does a run-in as Natalya goes for the Sharpshooter. Somehow it's a DQ win for Layla, Aksana and Fox. All of the Divas fight after the match.* Dean Ambrose vs. Dolph Ziggler is announced for later * Vickie Guerrero comes out to cut a promo but the heat from the crowd is so loud you can't hear what she's saying. * R-Truth and Fandango are out for a dance competition. The Miz comes out wearing a big afro and calls himself the Mizco Inferno. He says it's not a dance contest without the most must-see Superstar of all-time. The Great Khali is out next to join the competition. Miz does his own version of twerking with R-Truth egging him on. Everyone dances with Khali except for Fandango and Summer Rae. The Miz gets the biggest pop and wins the competition. Fandango says they all are a disgrace to the art of dancing and gets knocked out of the ring.* They bring the Divas back out to re-shoot the brawl from earlier. It's Naomi, Natalya and Brie Bella beating down AJ Lee.* Ryback segment. Ryback says we don't know his linguistic skills and says he's a great interview. He introduces a skinny guy from Ottawa. 6'4" 180 lbs is what the man tells Ryback. He says he wants to be in the ring with Ryback and gets slapped. Ryback says his dream is to beat the holy hell out of people like him.* Vickie Guerrero is backstage. She says Ricardo Rodriguez will not be in Rob Van Dam's corner at Night of Champions because Vickie fears for his safety. Vickie sets up Ricardo vs. Alberto Del Rio for tonight.* Santino Marella beat Damien Sandow with the Cobra in about two minutes. Before the match, Sandow cut a promo and said he would free us from our ignorance.* Michael Cole's interview with Paul Heyman and Curtis Axel is next. We get a great video package of the Heyman-Punk issue. Axel says Punk won't get to Heyman because Punk can't beat Axel. Heyman says he's not a man of war and an advocate of peace instead. He calls for a public boycott of the handicap match. Heyman says if we buy Night of Champions, we're going to see Punk get his hands on Heyman. Heyman says Punk will find a way to get around Axel and get to him. CM Punk chant starts. Heyman says if we buy the PPV, we're going to see Punk give Heyman a beating. 'Yes' chants turn to 'CM Punk' chants. Heyman says Punk will slaughter him. Heyman says he can't believe this is the last time we'll see Paul Heyman. Heyman says he will always love CM Punk. Heyman leaves to the fans singing 'hey hey hey, goodbye.' Great job of selling the pay-per-view. * Alberto Del Rio vs. Ricardo Rodriguez is up next. No reaction for Del Rio but a nice reaction for Ricardo and Rob Van Dam. Del Rio wins with the top rope reverse suplex. After the match, Del Rio applies the cross armbreaker but RVD makes the save. RVD nails a frogsplash on Del Rio and celebrates with the World Heavyweight Title.* Dean Ambrose vs. Dolph Ziggler is up next. Good pops for both of them. Good match but it felt like both were holding back. The Shield ran in to cause a disqualification but The Usos made the save. Vickie Guerrero makes a six-man match. * The Shield beats The Usos and Dolph Ziggler after Seth Rollins got his knees up on a splash from one of the Usos. Amazing finishing sequence and good match that the crowd was really into.* The Cutting Edge is up next. Edge gets a huge pop and a 'thank you Edge' chant. Biggest pop of the night. Edge tells Christian to tear The Shield apart when he comes back. Orton comes out to some heat. Bryan gets a huge pop and lots of 'YES' chants. Edge asks Orton how it feels to be a sell out. Orton says Edge is jealous Orton is 10 time champion and Edge is just a talk show host. Edge says Orton forgets he's an 11 time champ. Edge says he knows what's best for business and the fans erupt with a 'yes' chant. Bryan said his dream was never to be the face of a corporation, but to hold the WWE title. Bryan says he'll beat Orton at Night of Champions. Orton cheap shots Bryan and the fans chant 'spear' but Bryan gets the upper hand and Edge leaves.

RIO DE JANEIRO — LeBron James is done making choices.
In his first appearance since announcing he was returning to the Cleveland Cavaliers, James said it's a toss-up between who's better, Lionel Messi or Neymar. He can't say who's going to win the World Cup final between Germany and Argentina, either.
"I think Germany has the better overall team. Argentina has one of the best players in the world, if not the best, with Messi," James said Saturday night during an appearance at Nike's "Casa Phenomenal." "That's why they play the game. We'll see what happens tomorrow.
"Hopefully it's a great one," he added.
James' announcement Friday afternoon that he is returning to his hometown after four years – and two titles – with the Miami Heat shook the sports world. He announced his decision in a Sports Illustrated essay, then left to come to Rio for the World Cup final without any further comment.
But in a Q&A during his Nike appearance, James called it "an exciting time."
"It's going to be unbelievable," he said. "I'm looking forward to the challenge."
And, he cracked, it reunites him with "one of my favorite teammates," Brazil native Anderson Varejao.
Varejao accompanied James to the event at Nike's interactive showcase. The warehouse-like space is open every Saturday to local children, who come to play soccer, basketball and video games, and meet some of their favorite athletes.
Kobe Bryant and Steve Nash made appearances earlier during the tournament, as did Ronaldo.
Wearing grey shorts and a light blue T-shirt, James was swarmed by kids when he arrived. He exchanged some high-fives and posed for pictures before the 10-minute Q&A with a Nike representative.
James is a big soccer fan – he's a part-owner in Liverpool – and said he was eager to see the final in person after watching the tournament from home.
"Just the excitement," he said of why he came. "The excitement around football, the excitement around the world. It brings everybody into the sport, and I'm happy to be a part of the excitement now that I'm here."

Munduruku Indian warriors navigate the Das Tropas river, a tributary of the Tapajos and Amazon rivers, as they search for illegal gold mines and miners in their territory in western Para state, Jan. 17, 2014.
The Munduruku tribe has seen their land encroached on by wildcat miners in search of gold, and the tribe's leaders travelled to the capital, Brasilia, last year to demand the federal government remove non-indigenous miners from their territory.
Rather than wait for a court decision to start the process - which could take years - the Munduruku decided to take matters into their own hands and expel the wildcat miners.

You Say Tomato, I Say Turnip
Hey, everybody! Do you know what time it is?!
That's right, it's "You write the &%#* post, john!!" time!
So, uh, yeah.
Let's see... I need something really easy to write so I can go back to playing my video game. (Those aliens aren't gonna kill themselves!)
Right, how about some wedding missed marks? Or as I like to call them, "Let's have an Epcot in the comments about getting what you paid for!"
Ooh, pretty. Of course, this cake was on MarthaStewart.com so it was probably made with platinum shavings and unicorn tears.
Now let's see what Patty I. ended up with.
(On a side note, all I can hear as I write this is the MarioKart music as Jen vanquishes her little cartoon foes. That and the occasional, "In YOUR FACE, Donkey Kong!!")
Next cake:
No lie, this is one of my favorite cakes in our library. And please note that it's made with fondant.
Or as Buddy would call it, Fahn Dahn.
Now, people often complain that Missed Marks always have a fondant inspiration cake with an all-buttercream wreck, which is why they're so horrifically bad. So for a better comparison, here's Tina M's resulting cake which was made with fondant:
It's like apples and pigeons.
(I'm now laughing maniacally at my own joke. I think I'm tired.)
I can't think of anything funny to say about this next cake. So instead, I'll just sing a song that's currently stuck in my head.
"You're BEAUtiful! You're BEAUtiful! You're BEAUtiful - it's true!"
"La, la, la, something WHAT to do."
Aaand, that's all I know.
Also, I'd like to apologize to Michael and Stephanie for taking 4 years to post your cake. I overslept.
This next inspiration cake is awesome:
Huh. Maybe this one is my favorite. Maybe I just like blue. I'm so confused.
Never mind. So let's analyze the incredible complexity and skill required to make the gorgeous design above:
Step 1. Make a three-tiered round cake.
Step 2. Stick blue circles on it.
Aaand let's see how Serena P.'s bakers did!
Well, that's all the time I have, since I'm pretty sure I just heard a Wii remote hit the wall. And that's never good. ("Oh no, Luigi lose! MAMA!")
So, until next time, be thankful that Jen writes this blog.

This section provides troubleshooting information for the Kerberos software.
If the krb5.conf file is not formatted properly, then the following error message maybe displayed to the terminal or the log file:
Improper format of Kerberos /etc/krb5/krb5.conf configuration file while initializing krb5 library
If there is a problem with the format of the krb5.conf file, then the associated services are vulnerable to attach. You should fix the problem before you allow Kerberos features to be used.
If propagating the Kerberos database fails, try /usr/bin/rlogin -x between the slave KDC and master KDC, and from the master KDC to the slave KDC server.
If the KDCs have been set up to restrict access, rlogin is disabled and cannot be used to troubleshoot this problem. To enable rlogin on a KDC, you must enable the eklogin service.
# svcadm enable svc:/network/login:eklogin
After you finish troubleshooting the problem, you need to disable the eklogin service..
If rlogin does not work, problems are likely because of the keytab files on the KDCs. If rlogin does work, the problem is not in the keytab file or the name service, because rlogin and the propagation software use the same host/host-name principal. In this case, make sure that the kpropd.acl file is correct.
If mounting a Kerberized NFS file system fails, make sure that the /var/rcache/root file exists on the NFS server. If the file system is not owned by root, remove it and try the mount again.
If you have a problem accessing a Kerberized NFS file system, make sure that the gssd service is enabled on your system and the NFS server.
If you see either the invalid argument or bad directory error message when you are trying to access a Kerberized NFS file system, the problem might be that you are not using a fully qualified DNS name when you are trying to mount the NFS file system. The host that is being mounted is not the same as the host name part of the service principal in the server's keytab file.
This problem might also occur if your server has multiple Ethernet interfaces, and you have set up DNS to use a "name per interface" scheme instead of a "multiple address records per host" scheme. For the Kerberos service, you should set up multiple address records per host as followsKen Hornstein, "Kerberos FAQ," [http://www.cmf.nrl.navy.mil/CCS/people/kenh/kerberos-faq.html#kerbdns], accessed 10 March 2010.:
my.host.name. A 184.108.40.206 A 22.214.171.124 A 22.214.171.124 my-en0.host.name. A 18.104.22.168 my-en1.host.name. A 188.8.131.52 my-en2.host.name. A 220.127.116.11 184.108.40.206 PTR my.host.name. 22.214.171.124 PTR my.host.name. 126.96.36.199 PTR my.host.name.
In this example, the setup allows one reference to the different interfaces and a single service principal instead of three service principals in the server's keytab file.
If authentication fails when you try to become superuser on your system and you have already added the root principal to your host's keytab file, there are two potential problems to check. First, make sure that the root principal in the keytab file has a fully qualified host name as its instance. If it does, check the /etc/resolv.conf file to make sure that the system is correctly set up as a DNS client.
To be able to monitor the credential mappings, first uncomment this line from the /etc/gss/gsscred.conf file.
Next instruct the gssd service to get information from the /etc/gss/gsscred.conf file.
# pkill -HUP gssd
Now you should be able to monitor the credential mappings as gssd requests them. The mappings are recorded by syslogd, if the syslog.conf file is configured for the auth system facility with the debug severity level.

NEW YORK (AP) – A federal judge is allowing the New York Police Department to temporarily resume some controversial Bronx residential trespass stops.
Judge Shira Scheindlin decided Tuesday to lift the order she issued earlier this month while the city appeals.
The judge said she still believes she was correct. She found that the city acted unconstitutionally in making trespass stops without reasonable suspicion at thousands of privately owned buildings.
She said the city had shown it would be expensive to immediately implement an order that could be reversed.
A trial in March is set to decide the fate of a lawsuit challenging more broadly the city's stop-and-frisk practices. The judge refused a request by the city to delay that trial.

Under normal conditions SG Option Europe, Societe Generale or any affiliate will endeavour to provide a market-making service, which involves giving the right market value and ensuring liquidity, both when buying and selling a financial product under specific conditions. Such arrangements may be temporarily or indefinitely curtailed as a result of technical problems within companies of the Societe Generale group or the London Stock Exchange or data vendors or telecommunications carriers, or in the event of pending announcements by or difficulties in procuring information on underlying companies.

As a result of this secondary market risk, you may find it difficult or impossible in certain extreme circumstances to sell the relevant product or may be offered a price that is significantly less than you paid for it.
Leveraged returns are a major advantage of Short & Long Leveraged Exchange Traded Products but can also work against investors. Investors in Short & Long Leveraged Exchange Traded Products should be aware that, if the underlying instrument to the product moves in the opposite direction to that anticipated by investors, the losses incurred by the product will be greater in percentage terms than those incurred by the underlying itself. The prices of Short & Long Leveraged Exchange Traded Products can therefore be volatile. Short & Long Leveraged Exchange Traded Products have a limited life, as denoted by the expiry date of each issue. After this date, the products can no longer be traded or exercised. As the product is reset on a daily basis, your capital could erode very quickly following a continued succession of positive or negative performance of the underlying asset. Investors who wish to hold their position overnight will pay a commission in the same way as they would with a fund.
As a result of corporate actions such as rights issues, share splits, share buy backs and take over and mergers, strike levels of the products may be adjusted to reflect such activity. The reason for this is to ensure that investors in the products are not disadvantaged or gain undue benefit by equity adjustments.

Historic Timbuktu Texts Saved From Burning
TIMBUKTU, Mali—French tanks were closing in on this storied caravan city on the night of Jan. 23, when the al Qaeda-backed militants who had governed Timbuktu since April left a departing blow. They broke into one of the world's most valuable libraries, ripping centuries-old manuscripts from shelves.
Then they torched these priceless artifacts, in a scene of destruction that horrified scholars around the world.
