On the Fox home page this morning they said this was the top video and had already 11 million viewings. It's short and you won't be sorry you watched. Will make you proud to be an American!
The text below is true according to truthorfiction.com:
"Ready for a shock? Below is an article from the London Times about our military. Interesting, it is! Our media coverage is shameful!
Winning Isn't News
By INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY
Iraq: What would happen if the U.S. won a war but the media didn't tell the American public? Apparently, we have to rely on a British newspaper for the news that we've defeated the last remnants of al-Qaida in Iraq .
London's Sunday Times called it 'the culmination of one of the most spectacular victories of the war on terror.' A terrorist force that once numbered more than 12,000, with strongholds in the west and central regions of Iraq, has over two years been reduced to a mere 1,200 fighters, backed against the wall in the northern city of Mosul.
The destruction of al-Qaida in Iraq (AQI) is one of the most unlikely and unforeseen events in the long history of American warfare. We can thank President Bush's surge strategy, in which he bucked both Republican and Democratic leaders in Washington by increasing our forces there instead of surrendering.
We can also thank the leadership of the new general he placed in charge there, David Petraeus, who may be the foremost expert in the world on counter-insurgency warfare. And we can thank those serving in our military in Iraq who engaged local Iraqi tribal leaders and convinced them America was their friend and AQI their enemy.
Al-Qaida's loss of the hearts and minds of ordinary Iraqis began in Anbar Province, which had been written off as a basket case, and spread out from there.
Now, in Operation Lion's Roar the Iraqi army and the U.S. 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment is destroying the fraction of terrorists who are left. More than 1,000 AQI operatives have already been apprehended.
Sunday Times reporter Marie Colvin, traveling with Iraqi forces in Mosul, found little AQI presence even in bullet-ridden residential areas that were once insurgency strongholds, and reported that the terrorists have lost control of its Mosul urban base, with what is left of the organization having fled south into the countryside.
Meanwhile, the State Department reports that Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's government has achieved 'satisfactory' progress on 15 of the 18 political benchmarks 'a big change for the better from a year ago.'
Things are going so well that Maliki has even for the first time floated the idea of a timetable for withdrawal of American forces. He did so while visiting the United Arab Emirates , which over the weekend announced that it was forgiving almost $7 billion of debt owed by Baghdad, an impressive vote of confidence from a fellow Arab state in the future of a free Iraq.
But where are the headlines and the front-page stories about all this good news? As the Media Research Center pointed out last week, 'the CBS Evening News, NBC Nightly News and CNN's Anderson Cooper 360 were silent Tuesday night about the benchmarks 'that signaled political progress.'
The war in Iraq has been turned around180 degrees both militarily and politically because the president stuck to his guns. Yet apart from IBD, Fox News Channel and parts of the foreign press, the media don't seem to consider this historic event a big story.

Addendum: The reason you haven't seen this on American television or read about it in the American press is simple--journalism is 'dead' in this country. They are controlled by Liberal Democrats who would rather see our troops defeated than recognize a successful Republican initiated response to 9/11."
The biased liberal press keeps telling America that Obama is going to win and by a lot. They have hidden and hushed up the abundant negative truths about him. They have viciously attacked Ms. Palin, who's worst "offense" is that she DIDN'T kill her downs syndrome child and LOVES it.
Their plan is to keep telling us that Obama's winning to dishearten us so we throw our arms up and say, "There's no point in voting. My vote won't count." and stay home.
Don't let the manipulating, biased, liberal media STEAL this election!
Show them that Americans can't be led around by a ring in our nose!
Show them that Americans CAN and DO think for themselves!
Show them that Americans aren't all lazy and WILL do their own research for the TRUTH!
Show them that Americans can tell LIES when they hear them!
Show them that Americans wants to stay FREE and not be made socialist and comunist!
Show them that Americans are STILL willing to fight for the right to worship the one and ONLY God Almighty who has so blessed this country and made her great, just as we fought in the beginning!
Show them that Americans will still today BAND TOGETHER TO PROTECT OUR RIGHTS, OUR FREEDOMS, AND OUR BELOVED COUNTRY!
God bless America! GET OUT AND VOTE ON ELECTION DAY!
Drive others to the polls and be sure they know the truth!
Join Christians all across America praying at 9PM eastern time, 8PM central, etc. every night.
Monday is a national day of fasting and praying for this election...please join us and lift our petition before the very throne of God who is able to do immeasurably more than we can imagine!

Catholics Celebrate Palm Sunday as the Path of Peace
Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week as well as the last Sunday of Lent. You could also say it is one of the more distinctly Catholic holidays celebrated by the Church in all corners of the world. There will be a procession of palm fronds in parishes big and small.
The Story of Saint Cecilia
Saint Cecilia is the patron saint of great musicians, poets and hymns. She is one of the most revered early Roman martyrs and one of the seven women commemorated in the Canon of the Mass.
We celebrate the feast day of Saint Cecilia every year on November 22 and as this day approaches, let us reflect on her extraordinary life and steadfast faith.
Purgatory and Indulgences
November is the time when the Catholic Church focuses on specific prayers and actions for all souls who are waiting for purification in Purgatory.
At Mass the Church will set aside time for special prayers for the dead and other acts. You too can help relieve the suffering of those in Purgatory. This assistance is known as an indulgence and there are specific acts and prayers that can lift the departed souls out of Purgatory and into Heaven.
The Top 4 Catholic Medals for Men and Women
Many Catholics cherish these special pendants as reminders of God's grace. These special types of Catholic medals are visual identifications of our Faith.

Early Teachings on Infant Baptism
The practice of infant baptism in the Catholic Faith has garnered some criticism especially from fundamentalists who believe that baptism should be reserved for adults and older children.
Ever since the New Testament era, the Catholic Church has viewed baptism differently. Here are some of the early teachings on the sacrament of infant baptism.
Do Catholic Parents Have to Name Their Babies After Saints?
As Catholics, do we have any special considerations to keep in mind when naming our child? Are we required to name our child after a saint or can we name them with anything we want? What are the reasons why parents choose the name of saints as Catholic baby names?
How to Choose Godparents
Thanks to fairy tales like Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty, the concept of godparents is often taken to mean magical beings who grant wishes or make our lives easier. The role our godparents have in our journey here on earth is actually so much more significant so we must be careful in the people we choose to take up that role.
Why Do Catholics Baptize Babies?
Baptism is the pivotal first step we take in becoming initiated members of the Church. Along with communion and confirmation, baptism makes up the three sacraments of initiation. The Sacrament of Baptism is steeped in history, dating back to the time of Jesus, when He was baptized by John the Baptist.
Eight Gift Ideas For First Communion
It is a common practice for families to organize parties and gatherings to mark a child's First Communion and children also wear special clothes for this event. Another way to celebrate someone's First Communion is by giving them a gift. Here are eight meaningful gift ideas for First Communion.

How to Keep the Faith Alive in Young Catholics After Confirmation
Much like Easter, Confirmation suffers a mental 'exit point' for many young Catholics. As Easter is looked upon as the end of parent-imposed Lenten fast, some Catholic children treat Confirmation as the end of having anything to do with going to Mass or living a Christian life.
What are the 12 Fruits of the Holy Spirit?
As Christians, we are expected to manifest the twelve fruits of the Holy Spirit in our lives. These twelve fruits are different from the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit. These gifts are wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety and fear of the Lord. They are granted to us during our baptism and perfected through the Sacrament of Confirmation.
The seven gifts serve as virtues for us to follow while the twelve fruits are the actions that those virtues produce. We are expected to manifest these fruits in our lives as Christians.
What's In a Name? Choosing a Confirmation Name
Spring is a busy time in the Catholic Church; not only is it the season when we celebrate Easter, it's also the season when the sacraments of Reconciliation, Communion, and Confirmation are typically received. Those receiving Confirmation have gone through many months of instruction, reflection, and prayer.
What is RCIA? Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults
"I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me." (Proverbs 8:17). There are 1.2 billion Catholics worldwide, filling more than 221,700 parishes. Each year, many adults are called to join the Catholic faith. How does someone join the Catholic Church? Through a process called the RCIA.
Prayers to Saint Agatha
We often pray for Saint Agatha's intercession in our lives. Saint Agatha is the patron saint of nurses and of breast cancer. Our nurses provide care to so many and they do so with love and respect for each patient. They are with us in our time of need and suffering.
Prayers to Saint Timothy
Saint Timothy is the patron saint of Stomach Disorders as he is known to have suffered from stomach ailments. He is a disciple of St. Paul and is credited as the co-author or several books in the New Testament.
Prayers to Saint Sebastian
St. Sebastian is a very popular patron saint as he is the patron saint of Athletes and Soldiers. Due to his unwaiving commitment to Christ and the courageous way he faced his martyrdom, he serves as an example of true love of God. He is usually depicted standing in front of a tree with an arrow pierced through him.
Prayers to Elizabeth Ann Seton
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton married a wealthy businessman and was mother to five children. When her husband passed away she established a school in Boston, Massachusetts, to educate her children. She also opened a Catholic girl's school in Baltimore, Maryland. She is the patron saint for Loss of Parent or Child.
The Catholic View on Marriage and the Sacrament of Matrimony
The Catholic Church teaches us to hold marriage as sacred. It is a gift from the hand of God, who created male and female in his image so that they may become one body. The vision of marriage for the Catholic Church is deeply rooted in the Scripture. In marriage, the love between a man and a woman is blessed by God, a union in faith and a response to God's call to holiness. The couple becomes the symbol of God's love on earth.
Catholic Weddings: The Dos and Don'ts
As one of the seven sacraments in the Catholic Church, marriage is more than a legal contract; according to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, "The sacrament of matrimony signifies the union of Christ and the Church. It gives spouses the grace to love each other with the love with which Christ has loved his Church." A marriage is sealed and strengthened by God's love and is rooted in the divine plan of creation— the procreation and education of children in the faith.
Getting Lassoed At Your Wedding–The History of the Wedding Lasso Rosary
Weddings are ceremonies steeped in tradition. When it comes to planning a wedding, many couples choose to incorporate customs into their religious ceremony that are unique to their culture. While weddings today have long abandoned ancient customs that were once popular (such as Roman brides wearing herbs under their veils as a symbol of fertility) many traditions remain.

Inspiration for a Catholic Mom
Children will always carry with them the influence that their mothers had in their lives and this influence shapes the way they act and behave as adults. This is why being a Catholic mom is a remarkable honor for us women to have. We are gifted with a precious life that we must care for and look after not only its physical and emotional needs, but also its spiritual well being. In time for Mother's Day, let's look at some Bible teachings on motherhood; most of which come through the example of the extraordinary life of Mary, the Holy Mother of God.

- Action - An action is one step in an asynchronous workflow associated with a certain worker that does the actual processing.
- Aperture - Aperture is a Java framework for extracting and querying full-text content and metadata from various information systems (e.g. file systems, web sites, mail boxes) and the file formats (e.g. documents, images) occurring in these systems.
- Attachment - Attachments are parts of records used to store large binary data such as document content.
- Attribute - Attributes are parts of records and contain simple data objects that are easily represented in XML or json, such as String, Integer, Float, and Date.
- Blackboard or blackboard service - The blackboard service manages SMILA records during processing in a SMILA component (connectivity, workflow processor). In addition it hides the handling of record persistence from these components. For a complete description see Usage of Blackboard Service.
- BPEL - BPEL is an XML-based language defining several constructs to write business processes. It defines a set of basic control structures like conditions or loops as well as elements to invoke web services and receive messages from services. It relies on WSDL to express web services interfaces. Message structures can be manipulated, assigning parts or the whole of them to variables that can in turn be used to send other messages.
- Bucket - Data container in an asynchronous workflow, containing logically grouped data objects of the same type. Can be transient for interim data, which means that data is not persisted and removal of data is under job management control, or persistent, which means that removal of data is not under job management control.
- Bulk - a number of records bundled in a single file to enhance throughput when processing records in asynchronous workflows.
- Bulkbuilder - An asynchronous workflow worker that accepts single records and combines them to a bulk. See Bulkbuilder documentation.
- Crawler - A crawler is a special worker in an asynchronous workflow that imports data from a data source (e.g. filesystem, web or database) into SMILA. It iterates over the data elements and creates records for all elements that will be further processed in the workflow. In general crawlers resp. crawl workflows are used for initial (bulk) import of data sources. (see SMILA Importing for more details)
- Data Object - The smallest unit of data handled by an asychronous workflow (e.g. a record bulk).
- DeltaChecker - The DeltaChecker is a worker in an (asynchronous) import workflow that handles the delta indexing.
- Delta indexing - Delta indexing is also known as incremental or generation based indexing. It is driven by DeltaChecker worker.(see SMILA Importing for more details)
- Eclipse - Eclipse is an open source community, whose projects are focused on building an open development platform comprised of extensible frameworks, tools and runtimes for building, deploying and managing software across the lifecycle.
- EILF - EILF (Enterprise Information Logistics Framework) was the original proposed name of SMILA. Since this abbreviation was difficult to pronounce, it was not accepted by the community and thus changed to SMILA.
- Equinox - Equinox is a base technology from Eclipse implementing the OSGi specification. Not only delivering a high performance class loading mechanism Equinox also provides an environment for managing component dependencies.
- Fetcher - A fetcher is a worker in an (asynchronous) import workflow that retrieves Records containing an URL or file path, etc from a crawler and actually fetches the content (e.g. of files) from the data source ((e.g. FileFetcherWorker or WebFetcherWorker)), attaches it to records and sends them to the UpdatePusher. (see SMILA Importing for more details)
- ID - An ID identifies a record in SMILA and is part of a record's metadata.
- IRM - (deprecated) Abbreviation of Information Reference Model
- JMX - Java Management Extension is a specification to administrating and monitoring java applications.
- Job - A Job is a description of a distinct and repeatable working process that the system should accomplish. It references and parametrizes an asynchronous workflow.
- Job Run - A Job Run is an "instance" of a Job, for example one run of an import of a data source to an index. Only one active job run can existe per job. Statistics will be accumulated for each job run. A job run is automatically stopped when SMILA shuts down.
- Micro bulk - a (small) bundle of records in one single file which can be pushed into the system using the Bulkbuilder. The micro bulk in itself is not JSON, but a file where each line must consist of a single JSON representation of a record. E.g.:
{"_recordid": "id1", "attribute1": "attribute1", ...} {"_recordid": "id2", "attribute1": "attribute2", ...} {"_recordid": "id3", "attribute1": "attribute3", ...}
- ODE - Apache ODE (Orchestration Director Engine) executes business processes following the BPEL/WS-BPEL standard. It talks to web services, sending and receiving messages, handling data manipulation and error recovery as described by your process definition. It supports both long and short living process executions to orchestrate all the services that are part of your application.
- OSGi - The OSGi specification is about managing a component based software system. It defines an in-VM Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) for networked systems. An OSGi Service Platform provides a standardized, component-oriented computing environment for cooperating networked services. This architecture significantly reduces the overall complexity of building, maintaining, and deploying applications.
- Pipelet - A pipelet is a reusable component (POJO) in a BPEL workflow used to process data contained in records. See Pipelets for details.
- Pipeline - A pipeline is the definition of a BPEL process (or workflow) that orchestrates pipelets and other BPEL services (e.g. web services).
- Record - A record is a sole element in SMILA that contains data to process (e.g. content and metadata of a document). The record consists of metadata elements, see SMILA/Documentation/Data_Model_and_Serialization_Formats.
- Record Bulk - a Data Object containing a sequence of Records
- SCA - Service Component Architecture is a set of specifications which describe a model for building applications and systems using a service-oriented architecture. SCA extends and complements prior approaches to implementing services, and SCA builds on open standards such as web services. The SCA programming model is highly extensible and is language-neutral. Go to SCA and Tuscany for discussing.
- SDO - Service Data Objects are designed to simplify and unify the way in which applications handle data. Using SDO, application programmers can uniformly access and manipulate data from heterogeneous data sources, including relational databases, XML data sources, web services, and enterprise information systems. The SDO programming model is language neutral.
- Slot - An (input/output) slot is a description for the input/output behaviour of a worker. In a concrete asynchronous workflow slots are assigned to buckets
- SNMP - Simple Network Management Protocol is a network protocol which controls the communication between supervised devices and the monitoring application (e.g. JMX).
- SOA - Service-Oriented Architecture is a computer systems architectural style for creating and using business processes, packaged as services, throughout their lifecycle. SOA also defines and provisions the IT infrastructure to allow different applications to exchange data and participate in business processes. These functions are loosely coupled with the operating systems and programming languages underlying the applications.
- Surrogate process - A surrogate process is a process that embeds several components. Additionally this process adds further functionality to these components (e.g. runtime functionality, error prevention, transactions, manageability ...). In the SMILA application surrogate processes also add business processes and further features (e.g. callability from external processes or applications...).
- STP - SOA Tools Platform is an Eclipse open source project that builds frameworks and exemplary extensible tools that enable the design, configuration, assembly, deployment, monitoring, and management of software designed around a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). An interesting subproject is the SCA Composite Designer.
- Task - Description of a single unit of work to be processed by a Worker. A task can contain worker specific properties.
- Tuscany - Apache Tuscany is an implementation of the SCA specification 1.0. It is available for Java and C++. It also supports SDO specification 2.1 for both Java and C++. Go to SCA and Tuscany for discussing.
- UpdatePusher - The UpdatePusher is a worker in an (asynchronous) import workflow that pushes the crawled records to the BulkBuilder of a running import job.
- Worker - Single processing component in an asychnronous workflow. Pulls tasks to process. Defined in a worker description.
- Worker Description - Description of a worker, e.g. its input/output slots.
- Workflow (asynchronous) - Describes an asynchronously processed workflow by specifying a sequence of workers and associating their input/output slots to buckets.
- Workflow (synchronous/BPEL) - see pipeline
- Workflow run - Single traversal of a workflow.
- WSDL - WSDL is an XML format for describing network services as a set of endpoints operating on messages containing either document-oriented or procedure-oriented information. The operations and messages are described abstractly, and then bound to a concrete network protocol and message format to define an endpoint. Related concrete endpoints are combined into abstract endpoints (services). WSDL is extensible to allow description of endpoints and their messages regardless of what message formats or network protocols are used to communicate.

Richard J. Mitchell held many technical positions at Vickers Inc., Troy Mich., which is now part of Eaton Hydraulics, Eden Prairie, Minn. He wrote a series of 12 articles describing a systematic approach to diagnosing malfunctions in hydraulic systems. Hydraulics & Pneumatics published this series in every other issue beginning in February 1989 and ending in December 1990.
The information contained in this series is just as valuable today as it was nearly 25 years ago, so it would be a shame to just leave all this valuable information only as printed pages in our archive library. Therefore, I have retrieved all 12 chapters from the series and will be reproducing each in successive editions of The Hitch Post. Following is Chapter 1, from the February 1989 issue:
Think first, then troubleshoot!
Chapter 1: Technical knowledge with mental discipline is the key to logical, efficient troubleshooting
Improper troubleshooting procedures often result in unnecessary and costly hydraulic repairs — wasting time, money, and productivity. All too frequently the individual responsible for troubleshooting a machine hastily and arbitrarily decides that the problem is a faulty pump. Not unexpectedly, after the pump is replaced, the system still will not work.
An organized troubleshooting approach can eliminate such wheel spinning, but for such a program to be effective, it is essential that personnel be fully aware that:
- Leadership and direction originate with top management.
- Lower maintenance costs and higher productivity through reduced downtime are the main objectives.
Mental discipline
Effective and productive troubleshooting is not a complicated process. Clearly, the first prerequisite is technical knowledge, but equally important is mental attitude. In addition to understanding machine operation, as well as hydraulic components and circuitry, the individual must also have the training and discipline necessary to troubleshoot a hydraulic system in a logical and orderly manner.
Quick and efficient hydraulic troubleshooting requires that workers follow logical steps to locate malfunctions in the shortest possible time. The challenge in resolving this problem consists of two steps:
- Think through and identify the elements that might contribute to a system malfunction.
- Avoid jumping to incorrect and illogical conclusions which may result in improper and inappropriate actions.
Within any company, troubleshooting personnel have different levels of competence, manual skills, and experience. For this reason, it is absolutely necessary that before individuals are assigned the task of troubleshooting hydraulic systems, they become intimately familiar with:
- hydraulic terminology
- standard graphic symbols
- component function and operation
- circuit diagram interpretation
- machine and system operation, and
- malfunction troubleshooting procedures.
If troubleshooters are not fully conversant with these elements, any program is likely to fail.
Sample machine
To relate the troubleshooting procedures described in these articles to an actual machine, consider a surface grinder in which the machine's reciprocating motion passes a work piece back and forth under a grinding wheel. Proper operating requirements include:
- accurate table inching for setup
- variable table speed
- smooth table reversal and intermediate stopping
- control of grinding speed when travel direction is reversed, and
- grinding motion in forward direction that is controllable to adjustable fixed positions.
Knowing the surface grinder's performance specifications is a prerequisite to successful troubleshooting. The machine malfunction procedure, which will be discussed in the next installment, provides a logical sequence of thought and action, which can be applied to the surface grinder or to any other hydraulic machine that develops a malfunction.
Coming next: Identify the machine malfunction and the components that might be the cause.

Social media is the "it" thing for now and the foreseeable future, but when it comes down to it, it also is the Wild West in terms of how businesses - both large and small - can tame its use among employees.
Continue Reading Below
There are no hard-and-fast rules when it comes to employees' Facebook, Twitter, or Google+ use, but experts say small businesses would be remiss if they didn't tell employees up front what their policies are on the use of such platforms, and what the ramifications may be if employees use their social networks to complain about their company, boss, or - worse - divulge insider company information. In fact, social expectations could even be integrated into employee training on issues such as sexual harassment.
"I think it would be something that would be right up there with sexual harassment training - on a list of things you have to go through with your employees," said social media strategist and author Kathryn Rose, founder of Kathryn Rose Consulting. "I would just expect that my employees are going to complain about me [on social networks] ... what can you possibly do? The thing you really want to do is protect your company's reputation.
"It becomes more about managing the reputation than controlling people's behavior," she added. "You can't stick your head in the sand then somebody writes a blog about how someone hates your company - what are you going to do?"
Companies are grappling with how to handle disgruntled employees' venomous Tweets or Facebook posts; some companies are making headlines for demanding potential employees' Facebook user names and passwords.
Many small businesses restrict access to social media sites on work computers. Certain businesses also have employees sign confidentiality agreements that could include guidelines for social media interaction. Small business owners can sign up for Google alerts so they know when their company is being talked about on the Web, SocialMention.com works the same as Google alerts but scours social media sites for mention of your company. The Securities and Exchange Commission advises financial companies, in particular, using social media to "adopt, and periodically review the effectiveness of, policies and procedures regarding social media in the face of rapidly changing technology," since companies of that nature also have to abide by federal financial laws.
"Social media now is problematic within the business realm," said Craig Delsack, a New York City-based business lawyer specializing in media and technology companies. "Obviously things are up there forever - even if it's deleted, it's in cache." In finance firms, in particular, he added, "the last thing you want someone to do is have someone tweet, in 140 characters, good, bad or indifferent, about a company."
Regardless of what type of business you own, it's smart to err on the side of caution and spell out your expectations for social media use by employees, whether it be on computers at work or at home, or on mobile devices.
"If you have an employee that's constantly using foul language on their Facebook page or Twitter and it says they're an employee of General Electric or whatever - everybody becomes an ambassador of a company 24-7," Delsack said. But "you can't implement controls over what common sense should dictate.
"Most people get it."
You can include language in the employees' contract that outlines exactly the kind of online behavior that could lead to their dismissal. Another option is to have employees sign a non-disparaging agreement, in which the employee agrees not to speak or report negatively of the employer.
But as for what more you can do as a business owner ...
"That's the best you can do," Delsack added. "Hopefully the employee knows the ramifications are, one, losing their livelihood, and two, being sued for damages."

Wedgewood Real Estate
Wedgewood is an intimate neighborhood nestled among the many upscale pockets of Granite Bay's prestigious yet family-friendly nooks. Sitting on the western shores of Folsom Lake, this is a tight-knit community providing an abundance of amenities and natural offerings.
Wedgewood is a gated community with tree-lined streets and picturesque homes situated among towering oaks, granite outcroppings, and natural wetlands. A community park and meadow, and lush trails encourage an active yet peaceful lifestyle, where residents can embrace the region's scenic beauty every time they walk outside. There are also walking paths and golf cart access to the nearby Granite Bay Golf Club.
The area is part of the Roseville Joint Union High School District. The closest school is Ridgeview Elementary School in Granite Bay. Roseville's endless shopping options are just minutes away.

Limbaugh: Sandy Berger incident "far worse" than Abu Ghraib
In response to a caller's assertion that under a similar rationale to the court proceedings leveled against soldiers implicated in the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal, former national security adviser Sandy Berger "deserves prison time," radio host Rush Limbaugh replied, "[U]sing your point of comparing this [the Berger incident] side by side with Abu Ghraib, yeah, you -- you're exactly right ... this is far worse. This is somebody who had far more access, responsibility, knowledge, and all that." Berger is under investigation for removing classified documents and personal notes from the National Archives last fall during preparations for his appearance before the 9-11 Commission.
From the July 22 broadcast of The Rush Limbaugh Show:
CALLER: Listen, I -- I'm really upset. If we can send our soldiers to prison over this Abu Ghraib, because they were supposed to know better, then what is going on here? The national security adviser to a president is supposed to know better. He deserves prison time.
LIMBAUGH: So, using your point of comparing this [the Berger incident] side by side with Abu Ghraib, yeah, you -- you're exactly right. We were told these people should have known better. This is unconscionable. The American people don't treat other people this way. Let's plaster their names all over the paper. Let's send them up for trial. Let's convict them. Let's put them in jail. Show trials and all this.
This is far worse. This is somebody who had far more access, responsibility, knowledge, and all that. And I -- but I -- you -- trust me on what I tell you about the words of the -- of the U.S. attorney that -- that's looking into this, [Deputy Attorney General] James [B.] Comey. They're refusing a deal. They're continuing to hold out this possibility of jail time and criminal charges.
As Media Matters for America has noted, Limbaugh has repeatedly downplayed, dismissed, and even endorsed the horrific abuse of Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib, prompting MMFA to call for the removal of Limbaugh's radio show from taxpayer-funded American Forces Radio and Television Service.

Mobiblu DAH-220 Cassette Flash MP3 Player
Posted by Categories: Portable Audio / Video,
Mobiblu has figured out what other MP3 player companies seem to have missed - we use these things in our car. In order to make it a bit more convenient, this new portable flash MP3 player is shaped like a cassette. It has adjustable magnetic pickup heads and works like a normal tape when inserted into a car stereo, even responding to the fast-forward and rewind controls on the tape deck while allowing you to set the speed. It is also an FM tuner, voice recorder, built in EQ settings, direct recording, multiple repeat modes and a LCD controller which can be attached for a convenient control screen. Seven hours of playback time and an MMC expansion slot round this one out. It's USB capable and works with Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP and Macintosh OS9.X and OS X.

X vs. XP Compares OS X and Windows XP
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Internet, Software,
While our article on why Apple makes a one buttoned mouse continues to stir controversy, we figured we would fill you in on a site that compares the two operating systems that are most prominent. X vs. XP puts Mac OS X and Windows XP Pro/Home side by side in a huge multitude of categories ranging from usability to appearance to video playback. As you read the comparisons, you get a nice understanding for what goes into operating system design. In the end, Mac OS X comes out on top - but Windows XP certainly beats its Mac counterpart in quite a few categories.

Lifetime VOIP Service For $999
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Internet,
While companies like Vonage are charging $24.99 per month for VOIP service, Massachusetts-based RNK Telecom is offering lifetime VOIP phone service for a one-time fee of $999 USD. That's right - for a cool G, those in Massachusetts can make unlimited local and long distance calls. The fee also includes calls to 22 countries as well. While $999 sounds like a lot, it comes out to about 39 months of Vonage service. Of course, the other factor here is the question of how long will this company be around? If they happen to go under in three years, you are out of service and out of one thousand bucks. And even if they do stay in business, are you saying you plan on staying in Massachusetts for the rest of your life?

Vin Diesel and Paris Hilton's Voicemail Hacked
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Smartphones,
How secure is your cellular phone's voice mail? If your cell phone provider is T-Mobile or Sprint PCS it may not be as secure as you think. Recently hackers have found a way to access your voice mail by simply spoofing your phone number using caller ID spoofing systems such as CovertCall and Telespoof. Sprint and T-Mobile give users the option of enabling auto voicemail login where the user may log in to their voice mail automatically when calling from their own cell phone. The authentication system is simple – it uses the user's caller ID to validate the number. If the caller ID matches your cell phone number, then it will log you in automatically. To prove that this is what hackers doing, they were able to access Paris Hilton's voice mail as well as Vin Diesel's voice mail after the events of this past weekend.

More Xbox 2/360 news, straight from the rumor mill to your screen. We have been telling you that the Xbox 360° will come in at least two packages – one with an included hard drive and one without. According to Engadget's source, Microsoft's next box will definitely include wireless controllers and will have an optional hard drive that will attach to the top of the console "in a really slick way, almost like the hood scoop on a muscle car". Consumers will be able to add the hard drive afterwards without having to take the box apart – confirming at least two versions of the Xbox 360°.

Sony Says No More Clie
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Handhelds,
Sony has officially let it be known that the Clie will be no more. You know, I bought a nice mid-range Sony Clie about a year ago. It was the TH55, which had a bunch of nice features built in. Funny thing is, although it was full of features, I just didn't use it all that much. I ended up selling it within 6 weeks of purchase. I realized that a bunch of other tools that I use could do everything that thing could do. That is when I realized the PDA market would soon begin to fade. Expect the Sony Ericsson line, as well as the Playstation Portable, to fill in the gaps - and do things the Clie could never do.
TiVo Adds 802.11g Support to Series2
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Home Entertainment, Wireless / WiFi,
Many, many people have been waiting for TiVo to add support for 802.11g wireless adapters ever since the technology became available. With the recent release of TiVo To Go, the need grew. After all, transferring large files at 802.11b speeds sucks - especially when you have a G network ready to do the work at five times the pace. Well, don't expect much from the upgrade. While TiVo now supports a couple of 802.11g adapters, using them won't increase the speed of the file transfer. Does this make any sense? Way to go, TiVo, for screwing up yet another strategy. To top it off, you need to have the latest TiVo 7.1 software. That means that if you have a TiVo-DVD Player/Burner combo (that's me), or a Series1 box - you're out of luck! At least you can now get an adapter, and change your network from mixed to G-only. That counts for something, right?

Tetris in 3 Dimensions
Posted by Hector Martinez Categories: Misc. Tech,
When you combine a hot videogame like Tetris with the Connect 4 concept, you get something like Radica's new Tetris Tower tabletop game. Basically the machine indicates which piece the player must drop into the upper slot area. When you pick up a game piece and drop it in, it slides straight down, guided by bulit-in plastic ridges. You then indicate to the system which of two competing players accomplished a line by flicking a switch on the side of the unit. Not quite as portable as the Gameboy edition, but maybe just as cool.

text: I've been an owner for all of 10 days--just bought a 2004 M3 with 38,600 miles on it. The unfortunate thing is that I think I already have a problem with it. When I got into the car last Thursday night (travel for work, so hadn't driven it since the previous Sunday) I noticed a rythmic rubbing/grinding in the front right wheel well, even when rolling in the driveway. It doesn't change when I turn in either direction. There's no vibration in the steering wheel, and the sound is pretty noticeable up until 30-40 mph, when the noise of the engine and other ambient noise drown it out. I have taken it up to 70-80 mph on the highway and there is no vibration with it either. Anyways, I took it back to the dealership where I got the car (Honda dealership, but I at least had a chance of getting the repairs paid for by them) and after talking with them several times over the phone this week, they said they've test driven it a few times and cannot hear the noise. I thought that the noise might have been less pronounced as I was driving to drop it off at the dealership, but I thought it would still be audible to them. I will obviously check to see if I can hear it on Friday when I pick it up, but is there a good chance that there was a minor amount of rust buildup on some parts in/near the wheel assembly over those 4-5 days (drove in rain that Sunday, and left in the garage until Thursday night) that after some driving, friction would take the rust off? Thanks for any replies.

A Question For Premillennial Dispensational Rapture Believers Focused On Israel: How Long Is A Generation?
Posted by Job on September 25, 2009
For those who believe in the rapture and also believe that the modern state of Israel is the fulfillment of Bible prophecy and a sign that the end of the church age is at hand and the great tribulation draws nigh, I must ask you: how long is a generation? This is relevant because premillennial dispensationalists have seized upon the "this generation shall not pass until all these things are fulfilled" statements of the Olivet discourse endtimes prophecy of Jesus Christ (Matthew 24:34, Mark 13:30, Luke 21:32) to assert that the the great tribulation will start within a generation of 1948 when Israel became a nation again.
Now first, this poses a problem. Finding a Bible prophecy that would support the idea that Israel would re-established as a nation in the year 1948 is difficult to support. I will say categorically that no such prophecy exists in the New Testament, and it takes very creative interpretations to support the existence of such prophecies in the Old Testament. Further, the fact of Israel's being established as a nation in 1948 is not something that was declared or revealed by God through a Christian prophet or by an angel delivering a message to a Christian. So, the basis of Israel's existence as a nation does not come from any divine authority, not the Bible or any prophetic utterance!
Now this has nothing to do with the debate on whether Israel has the right to exist. Instead, it has everything to do with the beginning of the prophetic calendar with respect to this nation. If the great tribulation must happen within a generation of Israel's being established as a nation, on whose authority did this event happen in 1948? Why, not God's authority, BUT BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE UNITED NATIONS! Indeed, by man's authority. Where it was AN ACT OF GOD that declared Israel's status as a nation at the time of the Exodus, it was AN ACT OF MAN THAT AS FAR AS WE KNOW HAS NEVER BEEN CONFIRMED BY GOD TO THE CHURCH that declared Israel to be a nation in 1948. And it is the height of irony that many of the very same people who consider the United Nations to be a tool of the coming anti-Christ (but not America, even though America is a charter member, a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council, and the U.N. headquarters is in America, and America is the #1 source of funds for this body, no America is "a Christian nation" with Christian – actually most freemason, deist, unitarian, and enlightenment rationalist – founding fathers!) accept the UN's testimony that Israel is again a nation rather than God's, and start their prophetic clock based on Israel's the date of recognition by the same anti-Christ UN!
But alas, that is another issue altogether. But let us take for granted that the U.N. was acting on God's behalf and doing God's will, and that their recognition of Israel in 1948 happened according to God's providence. (I readily admit that there is much precedent for such a thing happening all over the Bible. The key difference: those things were declared as such by prophets and were able to be verified as fulfilled prophecies. For instance, the prophets gave the exact time that the Jews would remain in Babylon AND the name of the king who would free them. It is because of the precise and literal nature of these fulfillments that God-hating atheists claim that said prophecies were written after the fact.) If that is so, when does the generation time clock expire? How long is a generation?
Now this issue has gotten some premillennial dispenationals into trouble. First premillennial dispensationals went by the modern western idea of a generation – 20 years – and stated that the great tribulation would begin by 1968. After it did not, it was revised to the older and better – but still worldly and western – idea of a generation, which was 40 years. So, it was stated that the great tribulation would start in 1988. An example of this trouble:
"Only if the Bible is in error am I wrong, and I say that unequivocally. There is no way Biblically that I can be wrong; and I say that to every preacher in town. ( Edgar Whisenant, 88 Reasons Why the Rapture is in 1988)."
But even calling a generation 40 years is wrong, because it is not the Biblical definition. So the question must be asked: what is the Biblical definition of a generation? The answer: there isn't one. At least, not one that can be described in a hard fast set number of years. Example: consider the time that Israel spent in Egypt, a period of about 400-440 years. According to Genesis 15:15-17, that was four generations! Genesis 15:16 in particular: "But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full." So in this instance, a generation would have had to have been at least 100 years, possibly longer.
So does that settle it? Well, no. The Bible also speaks of the time spent by Israel wandering in the desert as a generation See Numbers 32:13 and more specifically see Psalm 95:8-11 "Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work. Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways: Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest."
So obviously a Biblical generation does not refer to any fixed period of time. Some Bible scholars have tried to resolve this by claiming that a generation refers to everyone living during a period of time. When the last person who was alive during that period dies, then the generation ends! Well, Bible examples make that problematic. For one, when the Israeli exodus generation passed, Joshua and Caleb were still alive. Further, to use the preterist/amillennialist view, there were most certainly still Christians alive after the generation or age of which Jesus Christ was addressing in the Olivet Discourse ended in 70 A.D., as they included none other than the apostle John! In addition to John, it is well known that the many Jewish Christians did not die during the Roman siege of Jerusalem, but remembered the warnings of Matthew 24-25 and similar, obeyed Jesus Christ and fled, many of them taking the gospel with them. We know this because the refusal of Jewish Christians to die defending Jerusalem (and yes, the fact that the Jewish Christians were told to leave Jerusalem and obeyed doing so should give modern dispensationals who put so much modern emphasis on that city some pause!) was one of the primary reasons why Jewish Christians were made the scapegoat for the destruction of the nation, expelled from the synagogues, and ostracized by the Jewish people a few decades later.
Now there are some who refer to a generation as an age, specifically an age in salvation-redemptive history. That is consistent with the idea that the sojourn in the desert constituted a spiritual age, as did the end of the Jewish age with the destruction of the second temple in 70 A.D. Regarding the latter, the church age had not yet started when Jesus Christ spoke for He had not yet gone to the cross, resurrected, ascended, and sent the Holy Spirit. However, that still leaves the problem of the four generations in Egypt! Had it been referred to by scripture as a single generation, it would have been easy to harmonize that reference with the generation in the desert and the generation of the time of Jesus Christ's first advent as major periods in salvation history. However, it does not, so we cannot.
Thus, the conclusion must be reached is that there is no way to know how long a true generation is, that is one that fits Biblical and prophetic purposes. For that reason, we should respect Matthew 24:36, Matthew 25:13, Mark 13:32, and perhaps best Acts 1:7, which reads "And he [Jesus Christ] said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power." Thus, even if the creation of Israel in 1948 was the beginning of the generation that will include the great tribulation, none of us has any idea how long that generation shall be. Instead, only the Ancient of Days, God the Father Himself, knows! So, it is best for Christians to be content with the duty of comfort ourselves with and sharing with others the gospel of Jesus Christ! Repent sinners for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!

Fast forward 6 days and several emails. We talked on the phone for over 2 hours and Chip shared some wonderful stories that he had heard from his dad (my grandmother's brother) about the family, growing up, being in World War II, and other little tidbits (the stuff you don't find in the archives and libraries). It literally took a thunderstorm knocking the power out to get us off the phone. I'd say I hooked a big 'un!

Exhibition: Charles Jennens, The Man Behind 'Messiah'
Time Out says
In a major new exhibition the Handel House Museum explores the life, work and character of Handel's great collaborator Charles Jennens.
An enigmatic character, Jennens had an enormous influence on Handel's life and work. As librettist for the oratorios 'Saul' and 'Belshazzar', he provided the composer with words that inspired some of his most challenging and exciting music. His carefully chosen scripture selection for Messiah was to inspire Handel to even greater creative heights, and together these two men created one of the greatest musical works of all time.
The exhibition examines this relationship in detail, alongside other elements of Jennens's life as a great landowner; the builder of a fine country house with extensive grounds; a major art collector; a Christian philanthropist; a devout defender of revealed religion; an encourager of other authors and composers; a loyal friend; and a forward-looking editor of Shakespeare.
Bringing together exhibits from throughout the UK and beyond, for the first time this landmark exhibition will unite all known oil portraits of Jennens to stand beside Handel House's own magnificent portrait by Thomas Hudson.
The exhibition's curator is Dr Ruth Smith, author of 'Handel's Oratorios and Eighteenth-Century Thought' (CUP), who has made a particular study of the life and work of Jennens.

Car with 3 dead apparently was parked for hours
HAGERSTOWN, Md. (AP) — Police say a car had apparently been parked in a Maryland school parking lot for hours before a woman and her two young daughters were found dead inside the vehicle.
Capt. Paul Kifer said Wednesday that people reported seeing the small silver sedan at Western Heights Middle School on Monday morning, hours before an employee noticed the bodies inside the closed-up vehicle on a 90-degree afternoon.
He says surveillance video from a local Wal-Mart where the 32-year-old Guyanese immigrant worked showed her buying a DVD player before 6 a.m. Monday. The machine and a receipt were found in the car.
Kifer says the car contained no drugs, note or other clues about how they died.
He says it could take the state medical examiner's office weeks to determine the cause of death.

Most students and parents of students are relieved to hear that the University of Alabama System board of trustees plans to vote on a tuition increase of "only"
2.7 percent this year. That's considerably less than the almost 7 percent increase last year.
It's not that any increase is welcome. Tuition has been climbing steadily, piling up year upon year for the past decade while wages have been largely stagnant. The board of trustees has offset losses in its endowment investments and flat or declining state funding on the backs of students and their families.
We have argued previously that the university system cannot continue to increase tuition. To do so will eventually drive the cost of a college education beyond the reach of the Alabama citizens who the state flagship university serves. An education at a public university is the primary way that average people have to improve their lives.
At some point, UA officials must learn to tighten their belts and make do on less. It is what just about everyone has been doing through almost five years of difficult economic times.
It is hard for university system officials to make the case that they are making the wisest use of the taxpayers' and the tuition payers' money when the University of Alabama continues to pay former UA President Guy Bailey more than $500,000 annually, apparently for not working. Bailey's position is ostensibly that of professor, but he is not teaching or conducting research. UA also paid partial salaries to two of Bailey's aides who followed him here from Texas.
Bailey resigned unexpectedly last year after a brief tenure in office. He said he needed to take care of his wife, who has had cancer. He also said that she could not meet the social obligations expected of the university president's wife.
Bailey's resignation raised questions immediately. His wife was ill when he accepted the job, and the job's requirements should have been clear from the outset.
We certainly have compassion for someone suffering from that dreadful illness and do not wish to be hard-hearted.
But we do not believe that every University of Alabama employee is afforded the opportunity to stay on full salary while tending to sick relatives. Most would consider themselves fortunate to receive an unpaid leave of
Neither the board of trustees nor UA System Chancellor Robert Witt have offered what we feel like is a full or satisfactory explanation of why Bailey continues to be paid his full salary when it does not appear that the university is obligated to do so. Their failure to explain this has unnecessarily led to ugly rumors that have circulated around town.
People who are asked to pay the bills have a right to ask what they're paying for. If they are going to be expected to pay more for their education and their children's education, they are at least due an explanation.
EDITORIAL: People have right to know where their money goes

India Retaliating Against the US for Strip Searching their Diplomat
Tensions are high right now with India following the arrest of their consulate's acting head, who was handcuffed over visa fraud charges as she dropped her daughter off at a Manhattan school.
Authorities have accused Devyani Khobragade, India's deputy consul general for political, economic, commercial and women's affairs, of submitting false visa applications and lying about paying her nanny only $3 an hour.
Because visa fraud isn't covered under the Vienna convention, Khobragade wasn't given diplomatic immunity.
According to the Times, everything escalated when details that she was strip searched (some Indian reports say a cavity search) became public.
It is not unusual in India for domestic staff to be paid poorly and be required to work more than 60 hours a week; they are sometimes treated abominably. Reports of maids being imprisoned or abused by their employers are frequent.
But the idea of a middle-class woman being arrested and ordered to disrobe is seen as shocking. Airport security procedures in India provide separate lines for women, and any pat-down searches are performed behind curtains.
India's national security advisor called it "despicable and barbaric."
And now Indian officials are retaliating. Today, workers removed a maze of cement security barricades from in front of the American Embassy, saying the barricades were blocking traffic.
Officials also downgraded American diplomatic privileges, withdrawing airport passes, stopping import clearances — including alcohol — for the US embassy, and demanding that Consulate staff turn in their ID cards.
An opposition leader and former finance minister gave a TV statement advocating that all same-sex partners of diplomats be arrested in retaliation.
"The media has reported that we have issued visas to a number of U.S. diplomats' companions. 'Companions' means that they are of the same sex," Yashwant Sinha told NDTV. "It is completely illegal in our country. Just as paying less wages was illegal in the U.S. So, why doesn't the government of India go ahead and arrest all of them? Put them behind bars, prosecute them in this country and punish them."
The State Department gave a statement earlier today, saying that they were looking into the intake procedures to ensure appropriate procedures were followed. The US Marshals Service said the search was standard operating procedure.

Tests From Independent Researcher Rob Galbraith Give SanDisk Cards Number One Rankings With Cameras From Canon and Nikon
MILPITAS, CALIF., May 30, 2008 - SanDisk Extreme® flash memory cards swept performance ratings in seven of the current top professional-level digital single lens reflex cameras from Canon and Nikon, according to the latest tests conducted by Rob Galbraith, renowned imaging consultant, digital photography trainer and photojournalist. The SanDisk Extreme CompactFlash® and SD™ cards outperformed all competitors in the tests.
Galbraith, who offers the results on his website, www.robgalbraith.com, tested multiple brands, models and capacities of memory cards with each camera to determine the fastest write times. He measured speeds involving both JPEG and RAW images and, in six camera models that use CompactFlash cards, the SanDisk Extreme Ducati CompactFlash Card took the top honors. Named after Ducati Corse, the Italian manufacturer of high-performance motorcycles, the SanDisk Ducati line was introduced last summer and is the fastest CompactFlash card that SanDisk produces.
"These results from a prestigious independent imaging lab not only validate SanDisk's Extreme cards as the best performing memory cards, but also clearly demonstrate that there are measurable speed differences between brands," said Susan Park, director of consumer product marketing for SanDisk's performance cards. "Also, the tests show that the new DSLR cameras are achieving higher processing speeds, which means that consumers are more likely to capture a candid moment or a fast-moving subject if they use a card with optimal write performance."
According to IDC's digital imaging research, Canon and Nikon together represent over 80 percent of the 2007 digital single-lens reflex camera market worldwide. "The cameras used in Rob Galbraith's tests benefit the most from high speed memory cards," said Christopher Chute, IDC research manager for the Worldwide Digital Imaging Practice. "Professionals rely on high performance equipment like these cameras for their livelihood, and memory card speed and reliability are critical to capturing the right image."

No. 78,856
1. A specification is the allegation of a distinct offense of the general charge in a general court martial and is comparable to a count in a civilian indictment.
2. When classifying a prior conviction for criminal history purposes under the Kansas Sentencing Guidelines Act, K.S.A. 21-4701 et seq., the sentencing court should compare the prior conviction to the most comparable Kansas offense to make a felony or misdemeanor determination when such conviction occurred in a jurisdiction that does not distinguish between felonies and misdemeanors.
Appeal from Pottawatomie District Court; TRACY D. KLINGINSMITH, judge. Opinion filed September 18, 1998. Affirmed.
Ryan Kipling Elliot and Lisa Nathanson, assistant appellate defenders, and Jessica R. Kunen, chief appellate defender, for appellant.
Sarah S. Henson, assistant county attorney, and Carla J. Stovall, attorney general, for appellee.
Before MARQUARDT, P.J., GERNON and KNUDSON, JJ.
GERNON, J.: Donald B. Swilley raises the question on appeal as to whether it was error for the district court to classify his military convictions as felonies for criminal history purposes under the Kansas Sentencing Guidelines Act (KSGA).
Swilley pled no contest to one count of aggravated indecent solicitation of a child, in violation of K.S.A. 1993 Supp. 21-3511. An amended presentence investigation report was prepared which indicated that Swilley's criminal history category was "B." The report reached this determination by concluding his prior court-martial resulted in two person felonies. The district court found that Swilley's criminal history category was B and sentenced him to 39 months' imprisonment.
Swilley later filed a motion to correct his sentence, arguing that his military convictions should not be considered to enhance his sentence.
In 1987, Swilley pled guilty to four specifications, which were part of a charge filed in a general court-martial. Two of the specifications involved committing indecent acts upon the bodies of two different females, both under the age of 16, neither of whom was his wife. These specifications involved touching both of the females and inserting something into the vagina of one of the females. The language of the two separate specifications contains elements virtually identical to our statutes involving indecent liberties with a child. See K.S.A. 21-3503; K.S.A. 21-3504. The other two specifications to which Swilley pled guilty involved giving alcohol to two of the victims and using indecent language.
The specification involving the use of indecent language and a separate charge of rape were dismissed as part of a plea bargain in the military court. Swilley pled not guilty to another specification involving indecent acts with a female and was found not guilty by the general court-martial of that specification.
Swilley maintains that his prior court-martial should only count as a single conviction for criminal history purposes. He claims that while there were separate findings of guilt on several of the specifications, under the general charge, there was only one finding of guilt as to the charge itself.
Under the Rules for Courts-Martial (R.C.M.), a "charge states the article of the code, law of war, or local penal law of an occupied territory which the accused is alleged to have violated." R.C.M. 307(c)(2), The Manual for Courts-Martial, United States (1995). On the other hand, a "specification" is defined as "a plain, concise, and definite statement of the essential facts constituting the offense charged." R.C.M. 307(c)(3). The discussion to R.C.M. 307(c)(2) explains that "[w]hen there are numerous infractions of the same article, there will be only one charge, but several specifications thereunder. There may also be several charges, but each must allege a violation of a different article of the code." It is the specification which forms the basis for guilt or innocence, not the charge. United States v. Read, 29 M.J. 690 (A.C.M.R. 1989).
In other words, "[a] specification is the allegation of a distinct offense in support of the general charge, and is comparable to a count in a civilian indictment." Hunsaker v. Ridgely, 85 F. Supp. 757, 758 (S.D. Me. 1949).
Here, a general court-martial found Swilley guilty on the general charge and on two of the underlying specifications involving indecent acts and one involving providing alcohol to two of the victims. Since the specifications form the basis for guilt or innocence, Swilley was convicted of three infractions of Article 134. We conclude the district court did not err in concluding that Swilley's court-martial resulted in more than one conviction.
Swilley contends that since military convictions are not classified as either felonies or misdemeanors under the KSGA, the convictions should be classified as misdemeanors. Swilley's contention was recently rejected by this court in State v. Hernandez, 24 Kan. App. 2d 285, 286-89, 944 P.2d 188, rev. denied 263 Kan. _ (1997). In Hernandez, this court concluded that a sentencing court should compare the "prior conviction to the most comparable Kansas offense to make a felony or misdemeanor determination when such conviction occurred in a jurisdiction that does not distinguish between felonies and misdemeanors." 24 Kan. App. 2d at 288-89.
Under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), all offenses are defined by several punitive articles. See 10 U.S.C. §§ 877-934 (1994). Some of these articles involve offenses similar to the statutory offenses in Kansas, like rape. See 10 U.S.C. § 920 (1994); K.S.A. 1997 Supp. 21-3502. However, the article of the UCMJ under which Swilley was convicted, Article 134, is a general "catch-all" provision and states as follows:
"Though not specifically mentioned in this chapter, all disorders and neglects to the prejudice of good order and discipline in the armed forces, all conduct of a nature to bring discredit upon the armed forces, and crimes and offenses not capital, of which persons subject to this chapter may be guilty, shall be taken cognizance of by a general, special, or summary court-martial, according to the nature and degree of the offense, and shall be punished at the discretion of that court." 10 U.S.C. § 934 (1994).
Kansas has no offense which, on its face, compares to this article. Since the article is not definitive and includes a number of crimes, it is proper to look to the specifications under the charge. We find no error and affirm.

Carnahan Cites St. Peters Financial Firm
ST. PETERS (AP) - Missouri Secretary of State Robin Carnahan has issued a cease and desist order against a suburban St. Louis financial company, alleging at least five investors lost more than $800,000 through a scam.
Carnahan announced the action Tuesday against Michael Kitchen of St. Peters and his company, PIF Financial Services, along with others involved in the company.
Kitchen does not have a listed phone number. The company's phones have been disconnected.
Carnahan says PIF assured investors that a high-yield investment program was risk-free. She says one of the investors, an 80-year-old from St. Joseph, invested $100,000 and received no return on the investment.
Carnahan's order alleges that PIF, Kitchen and his associates sold unregistered securities, and it alleges securities fraud.
Kitchen has not been charged in a criminal complaint.

Liverpool & Chelsea warned off 'next Ronaldo' chase
Brought to you by
Liverpool and Chelsea have been told to look elsewhere after River Plate insisted that Argentine teenage sensation Lucas Ocampos is not for sale in January reports talkSPORT.
The 17-year-old starlet is widely regarded as one of the brightest young prospects in South America, and has attracted interest from a host of major European clubs.
Reds boss Kenny Dalglish has been credited with an interest in bringing Ocampos to Anfield, as he looks to strengthen his forward line in January.
Yesterday's announcement that Liverpool striker Luis Suarez faces an eight match ban pending an appeal after being found guilty of racial discrimination against Patrice Evra, means Dalglish is now looking to the transfer market to find cover in attack.
Meanwhile, Blues boss Andre Villas-Boas is also monitoring Ocampos' situation as he looks to rejuvenate an ageing Stamford Bridge squad in the New Year.
The youngster has a formidable goalscoring record for his club side and has also been one of the star performers for the Argentina U17 team, with local media in his homeland already dubbing Ocampos the 'new Cristiano Ronaldo'.
However, any hopes either Chelsea or Liverpool may have had of signing the forward look to have been dashed after River Plate vice president Diegoe Turnes said he will do everything in his power to ensure Ocampos stays.
"We have had offers from Italy and England but the kid will not leave the club," he said.News Now - Sport News

entity-relationship model
An approach to data modelling proposed by P. Chen in 1976. The model says that you divide your database in two logical parts, entities (e.g. "customer", "product") and relations ("buys", "pays for").One of the first activities in specifying an application is defining the entities involved and their relationships, e.g. using an entity-relationship diagram to represent a model.

I have to say that I am really enjoying the latest offering from Mr. Hip Hop himself, Jay-Z. This Adapt tee from Karmaloop features the namesake of his latest single, Empire State of Mind. This song has been seeing heavy rotation on US radio stations. But if I am being honest, my favorite track off of the new album (The blueprint 3) is a remake of Alphaville's "Forever Youngâ€Â featuring Mr. Hudson.
And you've got to see this video of Jigga and Alicia Keys singing Empire State of Mind during Game 2 of the 2009 World Series.

Were any of your ancestors "warned out" of their New England town? My husband's ancestor, Ephraim Cutter, was. In 1669 that meant that after three months of moving into a town (the time was later extended to twelve months) a family could receive a "warning out" notice. That meant that the decision had been made that the town would not be responsible for the family should hard times befall them. It didn't mean they had to leave, but it did mean they would not receive the same level of support as others in the town. And it could have brought about a somewhat uncomfortable environment for the family.
Was your ancestor married in a Gretna Green? For over 250 years this small town in southeast Scotland has been synonymous with quick and easy weddings. Over the years, some states had much easier marriage and divorce laws than others, and those states became known as "Gretna Greens." (www.gretnaweddings.com) An example of Gretna Green in the U.S. is Las Vegas. What about divorce, inheritance laws, dower rights? Helen Shaw's presentation, "Genealogy and the Law," showed a number of examples of how local laws affected our ancestor's lives. Since each state had their own particular laws, she repeated over and over, "Check the law at the time in the state your ancestor lived." Some Resources to find these answers are: Black's Law Dictionary, Val Greenwood's The Researcher's Guide to American Genealogy, and your state's law library.

Friday Favs, 6/27/14
Some of my favorite new submissions this week:
When CW reader Jamie ordered a birthday cake for her husband Jim Bob, she encountered one of the funniest dilemmas I've seen yet - and that is really saying something.
The problem?
Her baker had never heard of the letter J:
And apparently thinks Birt and Hday are two separate words.
(Give it a minute.)
(Theeeere it is.)
Any guesses?
Anyone? Anyone?
Two of the most misspelled words I see on cakes are "congratulations" and "confirmation." So when someone is foolish enough to order a "Congratulations on your confirmation" cake, HILARITY WILL ENSUE:
Thank goodness the baker made up for it with all those great decorations.
Wrecky minion Tabatha was having a bad day, so she decided to swing by the discount rack at the bakery for a little pick-me-up. Then she asked the baker to write "Eye of the Tiger" on it, since we all know that's the best song for a bad day training montage. (I'm picturing slo-mo clips of rampant toe-stubbing, pink slip shredding, and bad haircut reaction shots.)
Anyway, as it turned out, Tabatha got an even bigger pick-me-up than she bargained for:
Greetings, from We of the Turkeys!
And finally, when it comes to baseball bats, this baker is ALL THUMB:
Thanks to Jamie, Ashley R., Sandi M., Tabitha G., & Amanda F. for knowing something was wrong with that last wreck, but not quite putting her finger on it.
Thank you for using our Amazon links to shop! USA, UK, Canada.
