The Population and Community Ecology Cluster supports research that advances the conceptual or theoretical understanding of population ecology, species interactions and community dynamics in terrestrial, wetland and freshwater habitats. We encourage projects that integrate theoretical, modeling, and empirical approaches, or that promote synthesis across spatial and temporal scales. The cluster seeks to fund projects that are transformative -- that is, those that will change the conceptual bases of population and community ecology and have broad implications for future research. Proposals that develop research questions within the context of existing theory, consider alternate mechanisms, and design critical tests to distinguish among mechanisms are particularly encouraged, together with those that use contemporary approaches to develop new paradigms. Inter- and multi-disciplinary proposals that cross traditional programmatic boundaries are welcomed in the Population and Community Ecology Cluster; such proposals may be co-reviewed with other programs in DEB, in other Divisions in the Biology Directorate, or in other Directorates. Studies that focus on the ecology of marine organisms should be directed to the Biological Oceanography Program in the Division of Ocean Sciences. Research focused on human disease or health is not supported. Other relevant funding opportunities are listed below as well as on DEB Home (see link on left).
Population and Community Ecology Program: This program supports fundamental studies in the broadly defined areas of population and community ecology. Topics include the population dynamics of individual species, demography, and fundamental ecological interactions affecting populations, communities, and their environments. Themes include, but are not limited to: population regulation; food-web structure and trophic dynamics; competition, predation, mutualism and parasitism; mechanisms of coexistence and the maintenance of species diversity; community assembly; paleoecology; landscape ecology; conservation and restoration biology; behavioral ecology; and macroecology. The Program particularly encourages studies that can be applied to a wide range of habitats and taxa across multiple spatial and temporal scales.
The Cluster also funds proposals submitted in response to the CAREER, RCN, LTREB and OPUS solicitations.
The Cluster also funds conference and workshop proposals, requests for supplemental funding, and RAPID or EAGER applications, all of which should be submitted following the standard guidelines directly to the PAPPG.

While we've already posted the comparison that showed up on Famitsu, the GameSpot article has a few things going for it. More comparison photos of the screen, which looks to be where the biggest noticeable differences lie, and the fact that James writes in easy-to-understand English, always appreciated by us English-exclusive humans like myself.

The Outlook: Federal Reserve Bets Rate Rise Can Wait
Officials Say Economic Indicators and Financial Markets Aren't Pointing to Overheating
In a recent Wall Street Journal survey, 30 private economists said they feared the Federal Reserve would wait too long before raising short-term interest rates, while only three said they feared the Fed would move too early.
Will the Fed fall behind the curve and keep interest rates too low for too long as the economy strengthens? The question looms as officials travel this week to their annual gathering in Jackson Hole, Wyo., where they and the world's leading central bankers discuss economic issues....

No point in making new characters since you always have access to all skills. The itemization is one dimensional. The uniques all suck. There are no interesting combos to try. All classes stack DPS/main stat with some vit/all-res on the side, making every character the same for everyone. Since it's nigh impossible to be "skillful" due to the retarded undodgeable melee hits, the game is nothing more than a boring gear check.

Blizzard wrote:When we initially designed and implemented the auction houses, the driving goal was to provide a convenient and secure system for trades. But as we've mentioned on different occasions, it became increasingly clear that despite the benefits of the AH system and the fact that many players around the world use it, it ultimately undermines Diablo's core game play: kill monsters to get cool loot. With that in mind, we want to let everyone know that we've decided to remove the gold and real-money auction house system from Diablo III.
We feel that this move along with the Loot 2.0 system being developed concurrently with Reaper of Souls™ will result in a much more rewarding game experience for our players.
We're working out the details of how the auction house system will be shut down, but we wanted to share the news as soon as we made the decision in order to give everyone as much advance notice as possible. Please note that the shutdown will occur on March 18, 2014. We will keep everyone informed as we work through this process.
Josh Mosqueira and I wanted to provide everyone with a little more information behind this decision, so please have a look at the video, and stay tuned to this site for further updates in the months ahead.

SCE to Conduct Soils Testing in Right-of-Way to Comply with CPUC's July 2nd Ruling - August 1, 2012 Through Mid-September
Starting on Wednesday, August 1st, residents may begin to see some activity within the Tehachapi Renewable Transmission Project (TRTP) right-of-way. Southern California Edison (SCE) has received permission from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to work in the right-of-way. Equipment and crews will be placing stakes and drilling bores to conduct soils tests as part of the CPUC-ordered preliminary engineering studies of underground options for the TRTP transmission line route running through Chino Hills. Work will include crews, vehicles, survey staking, and ground boring equipment that includes a truck-mounted drill rig within the right-of-way. Work is anticipated to begin on Wednesday, August 1st and continue through mid-September on weekdays from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
The July 2nd ruling of the CPUC directed SCE to develop and submit testimony based on preliminary engineering studies of underground options for a portion of the Chino Hills transmission line route by February 28, 2013. The CPUC has NOT made a determination to underground the transmission lines at this time. The CPUC issued a Stay of Construction on November 10, 2011 that remains in effect. The only work that will take place is work required as part of the preliminary engineering studies of underground options such as the soils testing that is scheduled to occur over the next several weeks.

June 29, 2012
Residents along the TRTP route received an SCE newsletter dated June 2012 which lists work that will proceed in the next three months on Segment 8. Chino Hills officials have confirmed that the Stay of Construction issued by the California Public Utilities Commission in November of 2011 is still in effect. Electrical transmission wires CANNOT be installed because the CPUC stopped further construction in Chino Hills. If there is any change in the status, now or in the future, the City will provide that information here on the TRTP page of the City website.
Confidential Settlement Negotiations Have Commenced
San Francisco, May 3, 2012 - The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) today announced that confidential settlement negotiations between Southern California Edison (SCE) and the City of Chino Hills on the routing of a 500-KV power line through the city have commenced.
On Nov. 10, 2011, the CPUC ordered SCE to stop construction work in Chino Hills on the Tehachapi Renewable Transmission Project in response to an Application for Rehearing and Motion for Partial Stay filed by the City of Chino Hills regarding the CPUC's 2009 decision (D. 09-12-044) approving Segments 4 through 11 of the Tehachapi Renewable Transmission Project. The negotiations announced today represent an effort by the CPUC, SCE, and the City of Chino Hills to agree upon undergrounding the line beneath the existing right-of-way in the city.
Said CPUC President Michael R. Peevey, "All of us at the CPUC are hopeful these negotiations, with the active involvement of our General Counsel, will be successful and produce an outcome that satisfies the concerns of the citizens of Chino Hills, while fulfilling the transmission needs of SCE and its renewable energy suppliers."

Status of Alternative Dispute Resolution
On February 14, 2012, the City of Chino Hills (the City) and Southern California Edison Company (SCE) commenced mediation in an effort to reach a mutually agreeable resolution to the issues raised by the City's Petition for Modification of the CPUC's December 2009 decision authorizing the construction of the Tehachapi Renewable Transmission Project. Several mediation sessions were held, and proposals advanced by both the City and SCE were thoroughly discussed. These proposals included the alternative construction and route options, and potential infrastructure improvements, described in SCE's Initial and Supplemental Testimony filed in January and February 2012. However, the City and SCE were unable to reach agreement on a resolution which met the needs of both parties. Mediation has been suspended at this time. A Prehearing Conference before a California Public Utilities Commission Administrative Law Judge will occur on March 19, 2012. At that Prehearing Conference, the next procedural steps to address the City's petition will be discussed.

On October 19, 2011, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) sent a letter to Southern California Edison (SCE) regarding the utility's Tehachapi Renewable Transmission Project and possible violations of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements. For SCE to attain and maintain compliance with FAA regulations, the CPUC has directed the company to take a number of actions, including not performing any new or additional tower construction and conductor stringing in the areas that have a high probability of being subject to FAA mitigations. To that end, conductor stringing in the City of Chino Hills within 1,000 feet of any residence should not be undertaken.

Background Information and History of Chino Hills' Efforts
What Can Residents Expect During the Construction?
In general, the first activity residents can expect to see will be crews trimming or removing vegetation in the right-of-way followed by crews removing existing transmission lines, preparing the existing towers for removal, dismantling existing towers, constructing new structures (tubular steel poles and lattice towers), and restringing the transmission lines. Various construction vehicles such as dirt hauling trucks, digging equipment, and cranes will be at work in the right-of-way.
Helicopters will be used to restring the lines and their use falls under the purview of the Federal Aviation Administration. SCE estimates that activity at each tower location is expected to be conducted over a 3-4 month period with activity occurring intermittently as each phase progresses. Residents near the right-of-way should close all windows and doors facing the construction area to reduce dust and noise impacts. Please contact SCE if you have questions related to construction activity or schedules. The City of Chino Hills has authority to ensure that construction meets local requirements relative to hours of operation, dirt and dust control, and control of work within road rights-of-ways, etc.
Map of TRTP Segment 8 Through Chino Hills
Work will take place within SCE's existing right-of-way corridor from the City's western border near Tonner Canyon, proceeding northeast (south of Eucalyptus Ave.) to Peyton Drive then continuing east to the Chino Valley Freeway (SR-71).

The Serbian Davis Cup team — that's Nole Djokovic, Janko Tipsarevic, Nenad Zimonjic, and Viktor Troicki — headed to Split for this past weekend's World Group Quarterfinal tie against Croatia. They took care of the home team with a 4-1 win (see the breakdown here).
And to make sure they got enough R&R to gear up for their rubbers, the Serbs stayed at the Le Méridien Lav in Podstrana, eight miles down the Dalmatian coast from Split.

Hi, I'd like to begin to use LS with SFZ patches in my gigs, but to achieve this goal I have to wait until some opcodes will be implemented.
The opcodes are: offset, and a basic LFO implementation(lfoN_freq, lfoN_wave, lfoN_pan, lfoN_cutoff, lfoN_resonance).
I want to make a donation to support the LS's development and the new server host, so let me know how much I have to add for these opcodes.
thank you

Ambition In The Best Sense (aka Lance Weiler)/
I've had the pleasure of working with Lance Weiler for maybe two years now. I love how he thinks. I love how he takes that thought and transforms it into action. Process is more key to what he does, than virtually anyone else I have worked with. The journey is the destination. He is willing to walk without knowing where it all might be going. He is collaborative to the Nth the degree. His vision for cinema truly knows no limits.
Wired Magazine singled him out this summer as one of the fathers of transmedia. BusinessWeek credited him with changing cinema alongside Thomas Edison, The Warner Bros., and James Cameron. Between his features, The Workbook Project, & DIY Days, the man is profoundly generative.
If you were in Sundance this past week (and even if you weren't), you probably witnessed how he infected Park City with a Pandemic. Others certainly did. Jamie Stuart shot this beautiful video for Filmmaker Magazine on Lance's Pandemic activities. FearNet has acquired his short which was screening at the fest. For those that like to hold their stories in their hand, you can follow it on Twitter here. AND of course there is a website. Granted, I am producing the feature, but believe me when I tell you it is thrilling, horrifying, beautiful, and groundbreaking; it's a shame you have to wait until I raise the money to see it.
Christine Vachon and I also got to speak to Lance for KillerHope on Hulu.
Lance created this short as a style template for collaborators throughout the world to help capture the outbreak in their local territories. Check it out and get filming!

As other sports wrestle with accusations that performance-enhancing and illicit drugs, match-fixing and organised criminals have infiltrated their sheds, there was something absurd, even pathetic, about Australian swimming's nationally televised visit to the headmaster's office.
Trousers down and six of the best for six of our best freestylers. Or the modern equivalent. A humiliating public mea culpa for their childish tomfoolery before the London Olympics before a room of reporters competing to ask the most inflammatory question in the most earnest manner.
And, yes, the six swimmers had been very naughty boys indeed. Knocking on doors and walls, taking Stilnox – the freely available prescription drug banned by the AOC after the testimony of favourite son Grant Hackett, and now mentioned by current affairs show reporters in the same scandalised tones as heroin and cocaine.
Although, at the time we went to press, details of wedgies, bombs in the shallow end and towel fights had not yet to come to hand.
These were the schoolies week shenanigans of six misguided, testosterone-charged athletes who were, in turn, let down by officials and coaches who failed to keep them in check. Who were unwilling to impose reasonable discipline, or act on the concerns of teammates, for fear of upsetting the delicate sensibilities of the stars.
Swimmers who – when they were not playing knock-and-run at the team hotel – could churn through chlorine like heavily muscled seals.
Which is not to suggest the six relay teammates did not deserve their public humiliation. These were not scapegoats, just goats. Foolish young men whose hijinks, patently, had some impact on results in London, despite their denials. Lairs and larrikins whose inappropriate actions meant some athletes participating in a heavily government-funded $8 million per-year high-performance program might not have been able to achieve their best results. Or, at the very least, get a decent night's sleep. Serious stuff.
The only character at Friday's press conference who deserved any sympathy was Swimmers' Association general manager Daniel Kowalski. After spending his entire career looking at Kieren Perkins's feet, now Kowalski was forced to clean up the mess left by misbehaving freestylers. The kindly teacher asking the principal to spare them the cuts.
No doubt, the media will continue to obsess over the titillating details of a ''bonding session'' that was, in reality, a primary school pyjama party compared with its NRL namesake. Addressing the lack of leadership in Australian swimming is a far more pressing concern.
Swimming was, this week, the fortunate beneficiary of two excellent reports that – in the right hands – should significantly improve the sport's governance. And, subsequently, maximise the potential for improved results.
There was the detailed examination of all aspects of the sport by a panel chaired by Warwick Smith that provided many commonsense recommendations. There was also a fascinating study of the sport's culture by Pippa Grange. One that provided fascinating insight into the complex demands of contemporary athletes, the balance of personal and collective ambition within a team environment and the fundamentals of strong leadership.
Matters of substance far more pressing than what happened after a few misguided fools took a legal and commonly prescribed substance.

T.J. Lane, Ohio high school shooter, sentenced to life in prison without parole
(CBS/AP) CHARDON, Ohio - T.J. Lane, the teenager convicted of the killing three students at an Ohio high school in a shooting rampage last year, has been sentenced to life in prison without parole.
PICTURES: Ohio teen gunman gets life in prison
Judge David L. Fuhry noted Lane's apparent lack of remorse and motive as part of his reasoning for the sentence.
Lane, who pleaded guilty to aggravated murder and other charges, appeared in a Chardon court Tuesday morning wearing a white T-Shirt with the word "killer" written on it. During the hearing, Lane also gave the courtroom the middle finger.
The three students who were wounded and relatives of the slain students were offered the chance to address the judge before the sentencing. Relatives of the slain students indicated earlier they want Lane to get the maximum sentence.
The mother of Daniel Parmertor, one of the students killed in the attack, urged the judge to sentence Lane harshly, saying, "I want him to suffer the rest of his life, the way I suffer the rest of my life without Danny."
Lane could not have received the death penalty because he was 17 at the time of the crimes.
Lane attended an alternative school for students who haven't done well in traditional schools. He was at Chardon High School waiting for a bus there when he opened fire.

Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi said late Saturday Tunisia is suffering bloodshed and lawlessness because its people were too quick to get rid of their president.
"I am very pained by what is happening in Tunisia," Gaddafi said in a speech reported by Libya's official Jana news agency. "Tunisia now lives in fear ... Families could be raided and slaughtered in their bedrooms and the citizens in the street killed as if it was the Bolshevik or the American revolution," said Gaddafi.
"What is this for? To change Zine al-Abidine? Hasn't he told you he would step down after three years? Be patient for three years and your son stays alive," Gaddafi said.
Gaddafi conveyed Tunisia should adopt his model of rule, which replaces representative democracy with direct rule by the people through institutions called popular committees. According to him, this model "marks the final destination for the peoples' quest for democracy. If this is what the events (in Tunisia) are for, then it has to be made clear".

Christian Leaders Write to President Obama
and Congress on Iranian Repression and Nukes
AP Exclusive: Iran prez said pushing for nukes
By George Jahn, The Associated Press, July 22, 2011
VIENNA — Iran's president wants to shed the nation's secrecy and forge ahead openly with developing nuclear weapons but is opposed by the clerical leadership, which is worried about international reaction to such a move, says an intelligence assessment shared with The Associated Press.
That view, from a nation with traditionally reliable intelligence from the region, cannot be confirmed and contrasts with assessments by other countries that view Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as relatively moderate on the nuclear issue compared to the country's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Attempts to interpret Iran's goals are important because as it expands uranium enrichment, it is moving closer to being able to make a nuclear weapon by the day, even as it asserts that it is not interested in such arms and its programs are geared only to making reactor fuel.
A U.S. official cited one assessment he has seen suggesting Ahmadinejad may be more "moderate" — more open to talks with the international community on resolving nuclear concerns than Khamenei. He asked for anonymity because his information was privileged.
But a blunt comment by Ahmadinejad last month raises questions. While repeating that Iran does not want nuclear arms, he openly reinforced its ability to make them, telling Iranian state TV that "if we want to make a bomb, we are not afraid of anybody."
That defiant statement fits the scenario laid down by the intelligence assessment shared with the AP, depicting Ahmadinejad as wanting to move publicly to develop a nuclear program.
Ahmadinejad is pushing "to shake free of the restraints Iran has imposed upon itself, and openly push forward to create a nuclear bomb," says the assessment shared with the AP. But Khamenei, whose word is final on nuclear and other issues, "wants to progress using secret channels, due to concern about a severe response from the West," says the report.
The varying views reflect the difficulties that intelligence agencies face when probing a secretive nation that plays its cards close to its chest. Lines of division are murky. Alliances shift and positions change, leaving governments and private analysts frustrated as they try to nail down Tehran's nuclear end game.
They converge, however in noting that recent political divisions between Ahmadinejad and Khamenei have spilled over to encompass Iran's nuclear activities to a greater degree than before.
While much about Iran's nuclear program is opaque, the growing capacity — if not the intention — to make weapons is on the record, captured in International Atomic Energy Agency reports documenting the expansion of Iran's enrichment program from its clandestine beginnings more than a decade ago to one that has produced enough material for more than two nuclear bombs.
More recently Iran has begun enriching to higher levels that would lessen the time needed to make weapons-grade material. And its stonewalling of an IAEA probe based on U.S. and other intelligence of secret work on components of a nuclear weapons program is adding to concerns raised by Tehran's refusal to freeze enrichment despite U.N. sanctions.
Intelligence reports of tensions between Ahmadinejad and the ruling clerics are in line with other signs showing Ahmadinejad at odds with Khamenei with less than two-years to go into his presidency.
In recent months, Ahmadinejad apparently fired — and was forced by Khamenei to reinstate — his interior minister in what some analysts see as a rebuffed attempt by the president to eliminate rivals to candidates he would like to see in positions of power, once his second and last term ends in 2013. That prompted an outburst of public criticism and led rivals in parliament to start proceedings that could in the most extreme case lead to impeachment.
Reports of disagreement on nuclear issues predate that dispute, but some officials from member nations of the Vienna-based IAEA see tensions over the future of the nuclear program sharpening.
Proliferation expert David Albright of the Institute for Science and International Security says his briefings from European government officials who have seen the latest U.S. intelligence assessment on the Islamic Republic seem to support the assessment shared with the AP that Khamenei is worried about how the world would react to a nuclear-armed Iran.
"There is a lot of caution in the regime about the implication of building nuclear weapons," says Albright. Asked whether Ahmadinejad or Khamenei have been the most circumspect, he says "the implication is that it was the Supreme Leader."
The leadership is "worried about starting a nuclear weapons race and worried about the international impact," said Albright, naming reactions from regional powers Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Turkey as that of greatest concern to Tehran. Both Egypt and the Saudis have indicated that they would contemplate acquiring nuclear weapons if Iran had them.
One theory voiced by government officials and private analysts is that Iran might be looking to reach the level just short of making nuclear weapons — but able to do so quickly if it feels threatened. That would fit in with Khamenei's reported cautious stance.
In any case, Ahmadinejad seems to be further weakened by the dispute. That leaves the Revolutionary Guard — the military-industrial powerhouse that is increasingly asserting itself in most aspects of Iran's society — as a beneficiary says the intelligence assessment.
"Khamenei has decided to transfer engagement with the most sensitive parts of the nuclear program, including activity that can be used for nuclear weapons, from ... the group of scientists at the Defense Ministry, who are identified with Ahmadinejad, to a special body in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corp.," it says. "This, due to the increasing lack of trust the Leader has in people in sensitive positions, who are identified with the President."
The summary interprets the apparent decision to give the guard greater say over nuclear issues as a boost to its quest "to establish its status as a leading power force in the regime."

Leaders Representing 25 Million Americans Send Letters to
World Leaders Regarding Iran's Nuclear Weapons Program
and United Nations Actions on a Palestinian State
Washington, D.C. - A coalition of Christian leaders representing 25 million Americans of faith sent letters to President Obama, Congress, and foreign Ambassadors and Heads of State, requesting that they take the immediate steps necessary to keep Iran from repressing its citizens, developing nuclear weapons and supporting terrorism through its proxies.
The letter comes as an Iranian man, Youcef Nadarkhani, is facing the death penalty if he refuses to recant his Christian faith. The U.S. State Department issued a release calling on the Iranian government "to respect the fundamental rights of all its citizens and uphold its international commitments to protect them."
"While Iran's leaders hypocritically claim to promote tolerance, they continue to detain, imprison, harass, and abuse those who simply wish to worship the faith of their choosing," the statement included.
The leaders further detailed the threats posed to Middle East security by Iran's alignment with terrorists such as Hamas, Hezbollah and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, as well of the dangers of unilateral actions by the Palestinians which will harden extremists on both sides and only make peace between Israel and the Palestinians harder to achieve.
Christian Leaders for a Nuclear Free Iran detailed their concerns in a letter to Ambassadors and to the White House and Congress that reads, in part:
While continuing to develop nuclear weapons, support terrorism and repress its own people, the Iranians are also backing the brutal suppression of pro-democracy forces in Syria and backing a unilateral declaration of independence of Palestine at the United Nations as a way to sabotage real negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians.
Indeed, without the threat of active nuclear weapons Iran has already expanded its hegemony through its active support of Hamas. The recent agreement between Iran-backed Hamas and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas means that Israel no longer has a true partner for peace and that Iranian influence threatens to extend into the West Bank. Iran already has immense power in Lebanon through its Hezbollah allies which now dominate the government. The Muslim Brotherhood may soon take a share of power in Egypt. Control of the West Bank by Islamic extremist fundamentalists would complete the encirclement of Israel and put major sites of importance to Christians and Christianity at risk.
We ask you to act now, for the sake of security, regional stability and hopes of an eventual Middle East peace, by using all the diplomatic means at your disposal to pursue security and peace. We urge you to work with our allies to isolate Iran and to persuade the Palestinians to reject terrorism, respect previous agreements and recognize Israel's right to exist as a nation state of the Jewish people. We know America will stand with us at the United Nations this September - but we cannot be alone. Thus, as American Christian leaders we urge you to uphold these principles and to reach out to America's friends
Christian Leaders for a Nuclear-Free Iran is an ad-hoc coalition of evangelical, Roman Catholic and other faith leaders who have come together as a united voice that is reaching out to policy makers and opinion leaders calling for urgent action to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. The coalition argues that Iran's nuclear weapons program will destabilize the Middle East, lead to an arms race in a volatile part of the world, and threaten the United States and its allies in Europe.

The finale of Real Chance of Love 2 just aired tonight, with Hot Wings and Doll winning the hearts of Chance and Real.
The question on a lot of people's minds is whether or not the couples are still together. Well the finale was shot in June, and according to Hot Wings aka Kamille Leai, she and Chance are no longer an item. Doll confirms she and Real are no longer together as well.
Hot Photos of Hot Wings Can Be Seen Here!
Hot Wings posted the following messages on her Twitter, revealing that Chance never got in touch with her once the show finished filming. She reveals the same went for Doll. She says she did not find love on the show, and even jokes about a 3rd season. Her tweets are below —
first off, let me just say that i heard from chance ONE TIME since we shot the show back in June, and it was thru twitter….7 minutes ago from web
neone surprised!!! lmao..so NO i really didnt "WIN" the show. i did NOT find love with chance, HELL i cant even find chance PERIOD!!!7 minutes ago from web
much love and respect to chance but i never heard from him after the show, and neither did doll from real..so what are we suppose to do?!?!6 minutes ago from web
it was a great experience, chance is still a great guy,at least he got what he wanted, and that was a show..cant wait for season 3..hehe3 minutes ago from web
Doll has also confirmed she and Real are no longer together in a new interview with VH1.
So it's officially not going to happen with Real?
Yeah, it's officially not there. We don't have a relationship established of that sort. I'm a beautiful, well-rounded girl. I'm looking for love and I'm sure any guy would love to be with me, so I'm not worried about the situation.
When did it become clear to you that things weren't working out?
It became clear about a month after the show was over. I mean, are you kidding me? For a guy not to contact me for a whole month after we supposedly became close? You picked me out of the 10 or 15 other girls that were on the show for you. And I wasn't pursued a month after that?
It's quite funny because these two douches spent their entire time on the show whining about wanting to find love, and accusing all the women of being on the show for the wrong reasons, when in actuality, they had zero intentions of committing to any of the ladies. It's safe to say we will be hearing an announcement about a 3rd season any day now.
A screenshot of Hot Wing's Tweets is below —

The RCMP have arrested two individuals, one from Montreal and the other from Toronto, in connection with an alleged terror plot. The two were under investigation by CSIS for over a year, and are known to have link to al Qaeda. No connection has been found to the Tsarnaev brothers, who are suspected of orchestrating last week's bombings at the Boston Marathon.
No details of the plot have been released, but it's suspected that the target was in the US.
Edit: Press conference getting ready to start.

24 Kan. App. 2d 506
No. 77,092
STATE OF KANSAS, Appellee, v. GEORGE MANNING, Appellant.
1. K.S.A. 21-4608(c) and (h), which establish rules in specific circumstances for whether two or more sentences should be served consecutively, are construed and applied.
2. K.S.A. 21-4608(c) requires the sentencing court to order consecutive sentences for a defendant who commits a crime after escaping from custody.
Appeal from Wyandotte District Court; MURIEL Y. HARRIS, judge. Opinion filed November 7, 1997. Affirmed.
Ryan Kipling Elliot, assistant appellate defender, and Jessica R. Kunen, chief appellate defender, for appellant.
Kiann C. Dodd, assistant district attorney, Nick A. Tomasic, district attorney, and Carla J. Stovall, attorney general, for appellee.
Before RULON, P.J., ELLIOTT, J., and ROGG, S.J.
ROGG, J.: George Manning pled guilty to felony theft in violation of K.S.A. 21-3701. A sentencing hearing was held on May 10, 1996, at which time defense counsel told the court that Manning had committed the theft while on parole for Missouri convictions.
The State claimed that defendant was not on parole but, rather, an escapee at the time he committed the felony theft. The State argued that the sentencing court was required to sentence Manning to consecutive sentences regardless of whether Manning was on parole or an escapee.
The district court sentenced Manning to 14 months' imprisonment. Without stating whether Manning was on parole or an escapee at the time he committed the Kansas offense, the court found that it was required to run the Kansas sentence consecutive to the sentences Manning had received in his Missouri felony convictions.
Manning appeals from the district court's ruling. He claims that the district court erred in its determination that the sentences had to be run consecutively pursuant to K.S.A. 21-4608(c). Manning asserts that the proper statute that applied was K.S.A. 21-4608(h), which allowed the court to use discretion whether to impose consecutive or concurrent sentences. He asserts that, because the court did not make a specific finding regarding his status, whether he was on parole or an escapee, the court could not determine whether a mandatory sentence was required.
K.S.A. 21-4608(c) states:
|"Any person who is convicted and sentenced for a crime committed while on probation, assigned to a community correctional services program, on parole, on conditional release or on post release supervision for a felony shall serve the sentence consecutively to the term or terms under which the person was on probation, assigned to a community correctional services program or on parole or conditional release."
K.S.A. 21-4608(h) provides:
|"When a defendant is sentenced in a state court and is also under sentence from a federal court or other state court or is subject to sentence in a federal court or other state court for an offense committed prior to the defendant's sentence in a Kansas state court, the court may direct that custody of the defendant may be relinquished to federal or other state authorities and that such state sentences as are imposed may run concurrently with any federal or other state sentence imposed."
Whether the district court erred in imposing a mandatory consecutive sentence is a question of statutory interpretation and this court's review is de novo. See State v. Donlay, 253 Kan. 132, 133-34, 853 P.2d 680 (1993).
In State v. Aleman, 16 Kan. App. 2d 784, 786-90, 830 P.2d 64, rev. denied 251 Kan. 940 (1992), this court discussed the application of K.S.A. 1991 Supp. 21-4608(3) and (8) (which are substantially the same as the current subsections [c] and [h]).
In Aleman, the defendant was on probation from a felony conviction in the state of Wyoming at the time he committed a felony. The sentencing court concluded that a consecutive sentence was mandatory pursuant to K.S.A. 1991 Supp. 21-4608(3). Aleman argued that the court should have relied on K.S.A. 1991 Supp. 21-4608(8) which gave the court discretion to impose a concurrent or consecutive sentence. The court determined K.S.A. 1991 Supp. 21-4608(8) was "a general statute governing the various situations when a person convicted of a crime in Kansas [was] 'under sentence' or 'subject to sentence' in another jurisdiction." 16 Kan. App. 2d at 789. It then went on to find that K.S.A. 1991 Supp. 21-4608(3) applied "only to those persons who [were] convicted of committing crimes while on probation or parole." 16 Kan. App. 2d at 789. It concluded that K.S.A. 1991 Supp. 21-4608(3) controlled because it dealt with a specific phase of K.S.A. 1991 Supp. 21-4608(8). 16 Kan. App. 2d at 789.
Manning tries to distinguish his case from Aleman by arguing that unlike Aleman, his status was in dispute. Therefore, according to Manning, the question becomes whether his status as an escapee would be mutually exclusive of his status of being on parole, thereby requiring the court to look to K.S.A. 21-4608(h) rather than (c).
In evaluating the Kansas Sentencing Guidelines Act, the Kansas appellate courts have referred to the two primary rules of statutory construction: First, the court must give effect to the plain and unambiguous language used within a statute to express the intent of the legislature. Second, the intent of the legislature controls. State v. Gonzales, 255 Kan. 243, 248-49, 874 P.2d 612 (1994); State v. Dillard, 20 Kan. App. 2d 660, 661, 890 P.2d 1248 (1995). Additionally, "'[i]n determining legislative intent, courts are not limited to a mere consideration of the language used, but look to the historical background of the enactment, the circumstances attending its passage, the purpose to be accomplished and the effect the statute may have under the various constructions suggested.'" Gonzales, 255 Kan. at 249 (quoting Brown v. Keill, 224 Kan. 195, Syl. ¶ 3, 580 P.2d 867 [1979]).
K.S.A. 21-4608(c) does not expressly include one who has escaped from custody. However, a defendant on parole from a felony should not be rewarded by his own illegal act of escaping. In State v. Burrows, 23 Kan. App. 2d 342, 342-43, 929 P.2d 1391 (1997), the sentencing court made a finding that defendant had committed the current crimes while he was "incarcerated for a felony conviction" where he was an escapee from Oklahoma when he committed three counts of burglary.
We conclude that the failure to expressly include a convict on escapee status in K.S.A. 21-4608(c) and K.S.A. 21-4608(e) does not prevent the statutes from operating to require the sentencing court to order consecutive sentences for a defendant who commits a crime after escaping from custody.
Therefore, regardless of whether Manning was on parole or an escapee, the sentencing court properly ran Manning's sentence in the present offense consecutive to his sentences in the Missouri cases.

South Carolina Gamecocks Football Tickets
South Carolina Gamecocks Football Tickets Tickets Rated 0.00/5 based on 0 customer reviews 100 0
Steve Spurrier has guided the Gamecocks to a bowl win in each of the last four seasons. After finishing with an 11 and 2 record for three years in a row, South Carolina took a step back last season in an always tough SEC conference. Ranked as high as #9 in the country to start the year SC finished with a record of 7 and 6. Otherwise known as a down year for Spurrier. As we turn our attention to the 2015 season, the Gamecocks will have to replace QB Dylan Thompson. Redshirt sophomore Connor Mitch looks be the man for the job. However, Mitch has only thrown six career passes and will be pressured for the starting job by the likes of Perry Orth and Michael Scarnecchia leading up to the season. RB Mike Davis was lost to the NFL, drafted by the 49ers in the 4th round. Steve Carolina will need Brandon Wilds to step in and fill the void left by Davis's departure. Pharoh Cooper returns to Columbia as one of the only players who had an impact for the Gamecocks last season. The young offense will have to lean on the junior wide receiver if they want to move the ball. WIth the rest of the SEC East improving, Spurrier will have make sure his team does the same.

kinit [-V] [-l lifetime] [-s start_time] [-r renewable_life] [-p | -P] [-f | -F] [-a] [-A] [-C] [-E] [-v] [-R] [-k [-t keytab_file]] [-c cache_name] [-n] [-S service_name][-T armor_ccache] [-X attribute[=value]] [principal]
kinit obtains and caches an initial ticket-granting ticket for princiŌĆÉ pal.
-V display verbose output. -l lifetime requests a ticket with the lifetime lifetime. The value for lifetime must be followed immediately by one of the following delimiters: s seconds m minutes h hours d days as in "kinit -l 90m". You cannot mix units; a value of `3h30m' will result in an error. If the -l option is not specified, the default ticket lifetime (configured by each site) is used. Specifying a ticket lifetime longer than the maximum ticket lifetime (configured by each site) results in a ticket with the maximum lifetime. -s start_time requests a postdated ticket, valid starting at start_time. Postdated tickets are issued with the invalid flag set, and need to be fed back to the kdc before use. -r renewable_life requests renewable tickets, with a total lifetime of renewŌĆÉ able_life. The duration is in the same format as the -l option, with the same delimiters. -f request forwardable tickets. -F do not request forwardable tickets. -p request proxiable tickets. -P do not request proxiable tickets. -a request tickets with the local address[es]. -A request address-less tickets. -k [-t keytab_file] requests a ticket, obtained from a key in the local host's keytab file. The name and location of the keytab file may be specified with the -t keytab_file option; otherwise the default name and location will be used. By default a host ticket is requested but any principal may be specified. On a KDC, the speŌĆÉ cial keytab location KDB: can be used to indicate that kinit should open the KDC database and look up the key directly. This permits an administrator to obtain tickets as any principal that supports password-based authentication. -n Requests anonymous processing. Two types of anonymous princiŌĆÉ pals are supported. For fully anonymous Kerberos, configure pkinit on the KDC and configure pkinit_anchors in the client's krb5.conf. Then use the -n option with a principal of the form @REALM (an empty principal name followed by the at-sign and a realm name). If permitted by the KDC, an anonymous ticket will be returned. A second form of anonymous tickets is supported; these realm-exposed tickets hide the identity of the client but not the client's realm. For this mode, use kinit -n with a norŌĆÉ mal principal name. If supported by the KDC, the principal (but not realm) will be replaced by the anonymous principal. As of release 1.8, the MIT Kerberos KDC only supports fully anonymous operation. -T armor_ccache Specifies the name of a credential cache that already contains a ticket. If supported by the KDC, This ccache will be used to armor the request so that an attacker would have to know both the key of the armor ticket and the key of the principal used for authentication in order to attack the request. Armoring also makes sure that the response from the KDC is not modified in transit. -c cache_name use cache_name as the Kerberos 5 credentials (ticket) cache name and location; if this option is not used, the default cache name and location are used. The default credentials cache may vary between systems. If the KRB5CCNAME environment variable is set, its value is used to name the default ticket cache. If a principal name is specified and the type of the default credentials cache supports a collecŌĆÉ tion (such as the DIR type), an existing cache containing creŌĆÉ dentials for the principal is selected or a new one is created and becomes the new primary cache. Otherwise, any existing conŌĆÉ tents of the default cache are destroyed by kinit. -S service_name specify an alternate service name to use when getting initial tickets. flag_RSA_PROTOCOL[=yes] specify use of RSA, rather than the default Diffie-Hellman protocol
Kinit uses the following environment variables: KRB5CCNAME Location of the default Kerberos 5 credentials (ticket) cache, in the form type:residual. If no type prefix is present, the FILE type is assumed. The type of the default cache may determine the availability of a cache collection; for instance, a default cache of type DIR causes caches within the directory to be present in the collection.
/tmp/krb5cc_[uid] default location of Kerberos 5 credentials cache ([uid] is the decimal UID of the user). /etc/krb5.keytab default location for the local host's keytab file.
klist(1), kdestroy(1), kswitch(1), kerberos(1) KINIT(1)

Folk Flower Cards: "Spring Rain"
Folk Flower Cards: "Spring Rain"
The folk flower designs are all inspired by ethnographic images and designs that I have fallen in love with during my explorations at the library, at museums, through books and firsthand during my travels to Poland, Hungary and Romania. The embroidery work found on regional costumes in Poland and Hungary especially inspired this collection of work.
The original paintings were created using Arches watercolor paper, gouache paint and Staedtler pigment liners.
Cards in their envelopes measure 5 3/4 x 4 1/2 inches.
The brightly colored designs are printed on cream-colored card stock and come with a cream-colored envelope. Cards are packaged in a clear, protective, biodegradable sheath.
