April 26, 2008
PELHAM, N.Y. - The MIT lightweights rebounded from a tough week to find their stride at the 54th running of the Geiger Cup. In a terrific effort by the Engineers, the Varsity eight finished three seconds behind Columbia and just six seconds back of 2007 national champion Cornell. Tech's finish resulted in the team's best performance at the Regatta since rowing 5:54.2 en route to a second-place finish in 1993.
All three eights came off the line stroke for stroke in strong tailwind conditions with Cornell striding out in the first 500 meters to establish a lead that they would not relinquish. Columbia responded early to the Cornell move with MIT responding in kind.
At 1000 meters, the Lions made another move that enabled them to build a six-seat lead over MIT, but the Engineers thwarted the Lions attempt to make further progress.
For the remaining 700 meters the Engineers were in contact with Columbia but could not make an impression deeper than a stern deck. In an exciting finish it was Cornell 5:53.5, Columbia 5:56.4 and MIT 5:59.7, marking the first time that all three boats broke the six-minute barrier for the 2000-meter circuit.
The freshmen race saw Cornell take the early lead and apparently leave Columbia and MIT to battle for second. However, Columbia rowed an inspired second 1000 to pass Cornell and leave the Engineers to take third. It was a sound race for MIT, but lacked the urgency in the latter stages (Columbia 6:01.9; Cornell 6:05.2, MIT 6:13.5). MIT's second freshmen rowed hard but didn't have the goods against a fast Cornell boat (Cornell 6:18.7; MIT 6:39.5).
In the varsity four, MIT faced stiff competition against the Cornell third varsity oarsmen, who broke down into fours. While the Engineers were able to stay in the hunt in the first 700m, it was all Big Red after that. Later in the day, the Cornell third varsity raced in the second varsity event besting Columbia by 23.6 seconds. The final results were: Cornell 6:46.5; Cornell 6:49.3; and MIT 7:12.9.

MILAN (AP) - Miuccia Prada says she is questioning the very meaning of summer and the exotic in her latest menswear designs.
MILAN (AP) � Miuccia Prada says she is questioning the very meaning of summer and the exotic in her latest menswear designs.
In a presentation of the 2014 summer collection Sunday on the second day of Milan Fashion Week, Prada has delivered satin floral prints that are clearly associated with the Pacific, and pairs them not with the classic linen gin-and-tonic suit, but with a traditional double-breasted pin stripe.
Her reference point in the collection is clearly the 1940s. The designer has returned to the old-fashioned carry-on luggage � no trollies, please � with bold designs, including tropical florals and Hawaiian girls. The period references on the luggage were also backdrops to the runway: graphic prints of palm trees, postcard sunsets and images of water.
Prada did not limit herself to men's designs, and interspersed the male models with young women companions, who all wore different versions of the same smart dress. Prada worked with panels of solids and prints, gathering and pleating them around the curves, and adding beading and crystals for glamor. The women carried vintage shoulder bags and purses.
Men and women alike wore two-tone boxer shoes with colored ankle socks. There also were sneakers, with thick rubber toes.
The men's looks were classics � with Prada updates. She seemed to have sports on her mind: There were satiny boxer shorts, light-weight shirts based on a baseball jacket and a retro bowling ball bag. The designer also layered short-sleeved knitwear over shirts, often with clashing patterns.
The color palate recalled stormy sea colors � gray to teal to black � and sunsets � yellow to terracotta to earthy brown and black.
Asked her inspiration backstage, Prada laughed and said: "I would have to tell my whole life," but then conceded that she was "questioning the cliche of summer and the exotic."

I have decided to sell off my Dinker project. This consists of a male that has been bred one time and 3 of his female offspring. I got a 10 egg clutch from the pairing which gave us some interesting offspring, but nothing conclusive in my eyes. I was planning on holding the females back and line breeding them, but I recently decided to scale the collection back a little and these guys no longer fit my plans.
I am asking $250 for the project plus shipping. Or I can meet at the Cleveland show, Hamburg show, or Corning show. Feel free to make an offer. Trades may be entertained.

Kagame Scolds Monarch Presidents
Kagame opposes the precedents of African leaders -- such as Uganda's Yoweri Museveni and Chad's Idriss Deby -- who have both extended their terms thanks to constitutional changes: "It's not a good habit.�
(Rwanda's Kagame, shown with Bush, no longer sees eye-to-eye with Museveni).
Rwandan President Paul Kagame has scolded African leaders who seek to change constitutions to extend their tenure in office, saying such moves paint a bad picture of the continent.
"This issue is becoming a big problem that causes severe consequences in our countries," Kagame said late on Sunday. "It is not worth it and should be prevented. Anything in the constitution could be changed but not the presidential term limits."
Kagame himself has dominated politics in the tiny central African nation since leading a rebel army that helped end a 1994 genocide that killed some 800,000 people. Elected president by the national assembly in 2000, Kagame then won the first post-genocide poll in 2003 and is now serving a seven-year term.
But despite his own lengthy dominance at home, Kagame opposes the precedents of African leaders -- such as Uganda's Yoweri Museveni and Chad's Idriss Deby -- who have both extended their terms thanks to constitutional changes.
"It's not a good habit. We in Rwanda must strive to prevent it," Kagame told Contact FM radio station. Various other African leaders have tried to change constitutions to extend their terms, then backed down under pressure from both at home and abroad.
Nigerian senators in May, for example, threw out a bill to amend the charter, defeating a campaign by supporters of President Olusegun Obasanjo to let him stand for a third term. Kagame said leaders who had attempted to change constitutions to stay in power had used the pretext of pressure from local populations, which he said was not a justification. Friends during the Rwanda uprising, Kagame and Uganda's Museveni are now bitter political rivals.
A strict disciplinarian, Kagame is credited for restoring stability and promoting good governance in a nation where more than half of its 8.5 million people live on less than $1 per day. But critics accuse him of suppressing opposition and limiting free speech.

I am not a big fan of the Rally body, so right now I have a slash body on it. I have seen the Proline (Ford Focus I think) that looks pretty good, but I would like something different. Not as tall as teh Rally body would be good.
Any suggestions?
What she looks like now.
Rustler,Slash 4X4, 1/10 Rally
are those suprasales wheels/tires? why not get a onroad GT body?
Now that is exactly what I am talking about. I am really not sure what wheels they are, I saw them and went to the counter to purchase and didn't even notice what I purchased. I was just excited to get some road tires on my car. I am still new to RCs, is that an 1/8th scale GT body?
Rustler,Slash 4X4, 1/10 Rally
yes it is....heres a comparison to my 1/10 TC3

I found a C6R that is a bit pricey, but I think my wife will like it. She has a cheap RC C6 right now that is pretty much useless, I can paint this one the same for her.
Thanks again!

would a kyosho inferno corvette body fit perfectly on the 1/10 rally??has anybody done it? I would love to see pics, that body is looks awesome!!
For those putting an onroad body on the rally and running on paved surfaces...From what I understand, the rally is very competitive with 1/8 on road gt class cars
Cheap, Fast, Reliable. Pick 2.
the GT body will fit but the GT2 will not fit

Here's the DP8 body Djbrun. Note: not reamed or mounted and needs to be lowered a bit still. Give you an idea though of what it looks like.

Man that DP8 body looks good in all black. I tried something different with my last one and didnt like it. But the one I have here laying around is gunmetal with a bit of green and looks decent.
That looks awesome man Very nice! You paint it yourself? Also what wing is that?

Expositions of Holy Scripture: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus and Numbers
by Alexander MacLaren
Enter your search query for this book.
Results will appear here as you type.
Page loading...
Called the "prince of expositors,"
Alexander MacLaren was a renowned preacher of the 19th and 20th century.
Expositions of Holy Scripture brings together many of the sermons
his fifty years in ministry. Although it discusses many different books
and passages of the Bible, Expositions of Holy Scripture isn't a
commentary in the fullest sense--for example, MacLaren doesn't comment
on every verse. Rather, these volumes are MacLaren's powerful sermons,
arranged by the text of the sermons. Broadly evangelical in nature,
MacLaren's sermons are not historical--rarely referring to the current
events of his day--allowing them to retain their interest and power
since he first gave them. Expositions of Holy Scriptures is thus
practical and lively. It makes a wonderful companion to more textually
oriented commentaries. To read Expositions of Holy Scripture is
to be
the presence of one of the greatest preachers of the last few

Suite 230 Clothing
We are creating a clothing brand called Suite 230 Clothing. Our t-shirt designs represent a mockery of pop-culture and thought provoking messages though the use of both art and text. We are currently focused on unique graphic t-shirts. We are a high-end clothing brand that hopefully can make it's way into both small, upscale boutiques and fine department stores around the world. For example (Kitson, Fred Segal, Bloomingdales, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Neimen Marcus).
A lot of our designs are about current events in both pop culture, dealing with the fantasy world of celebrities and your average people, pointing out how they are both similar and different at the same time. Everybody deals with love, friends, work, family, and all the other crazy things that make up our lives. Our goal is to challenge people to think differently about everything that life has to offer, and to embrace our differences!
Our target audience is in the age range of 16-35. We are in the similar target market as Ed Hardy, Ice Cream, Diesel and any other upscale graphic t-shirt companies. The person (guy or girl) wearing our clothes has to be somewhat confident, aware of the world around them, trendy, conscious of the environment, and not afraid to be different. Our consumer will most likely be into pop culture, and because fashion and music go so well together, they will probably listen to the latest music from artists Lady Gaga, Black Eyed Peas, Rihanna, Beyonce', Usher, Justin Bieber, Owl City...etc.
Our shirts are to be seen as a statement and can be seen anywhere a statement is to be made. From the gym to the club, or a day out on the town to the red carpet. They are tasteful, yet provacative!
We're looking for an elegant logo that grabs people's attention!
We want it to be simple, with a little bit of flare. Something that is timeless, and won't go out of style. We want to see a symbolic logo, as well as see the name "Suite 230 Clothing" written out with the words "Suite 230" getting the main attention, and the word "Clothing" written smaller, somewhere not to grab the attention away from "Suite 230". We want the name "Suite 230" to be the main focus! We want to base our logo off of our name of "Suite 230 Clothing".
We want to make suite 230 seem interesting by giving it somewhat of a mysterious symbol to go with it. We WANT something symbolizing our Suite (room), such as:
-Door to a hotel suite with 230 on it
-Or anything else that you may associate with mysterious, yet inticing rooms.
We DON'T want to see any of the following:
-Hard to read/understand
-Trendy, or in the moment
*Remember to be creative with everything from the numbers to the font and the size to shading, effects and art/icon that will represent Suite 230 Clothing!

The Viennese Piano
Click on image for larger picture
Sebastian Lengerer, Kufstein 1793. Lengerer originally worked in Kufstein, but moved to Vienna at the end of the 18th century. This instrument is attractively decorated and the inside of the lid is covered by pre-printed patterned paper (though this probably isn't the original). Pianos like this, made by craftsmen in small towns away from metropolitan influences, were somewhat out of date. The cabinetry is in a style fashionable some two decades earlier. Early Viennese pianos had black naturals and white accidentals. Here the accidentals are probably made of beech, covered with bone, and the naturals made of ebony. The keys are slightly narrower that those found on English pianos of the period, and the modern instrument. Viennese manufacturers were also inclined to produce attractively styled keyboards.
Ferdinand Hofmann, Vienna c1800 An attractive Viennese instrument. The delicate square-tapered legs feature brass cuffs, and have medallions depicting classical female figures set at their tops. The nameboard incorporates gilt bronze decorations of birds and leaves in relief. The moderator stop is located directly above the nameplate. Hofmann lived in Vienna his whole life and in 1812 became keyboard instrument maker to the Royal Court. The white naturals with mahogany veneer are typical of the more luxurious Viennese instruments built after about 1785. These features show the influence of the English style in Vienna.
The sound made by a Viennese piano of this type is much lighter and more delicate than that of a modern instrument. The great Viennese composers, Mozart, Beethoven, Haydn and others, would have played the Viennese piano: to hear their compositions performed on such an instrument alters our perspective quite radically. The whole balance of the music changes, with the melody much emphasized. Only when the music is played in this way can the composers' intentions be accurately realized.
By the 1780s, the English and Viennese pianos had become two distinct types of instruments. The Viennese instrument is comparatively light in construction and is typically double strung, whereas the English piano is usually triple strung and of much sturdier build. The Viennese action is lighter and simpler, using a hammer mounted on the far end of the key. The English action is more complex, using a hammer mounted on a separate hammer rail on the piano body.
The way in which the hammer strikes the string has important effects on the instrument's sound. The hammers of the English instruments strike the strings in a direct manner whereas the hammers of the Viennese pianos tend so stroke the string as they hit it. This gives the Viennese piano a gentler sound than that of the more powerful English instrument. Curiously this difference is reflected in the actual shape and appearance of the instruments.

27 March 2014 at 10.50am | Comment on this article
It's clear that both you and Christopher Wheeldon don't shy away from challenges when choosing works to transform into ballets.
Yes, we seem to have alighted on the two wordiest writers in the English language when it comes to our selection of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and The Winter's Tale! Like a lot of people, I only knew the famous 'exit pursued by a bear' direction in the Shakespeare. Chris and I went to see the Royal Shakespeare Company production in New York – I felt it was important that we saw it, and afterwards we went out and had a chat about our thoughts.
Was composing The Winter's Tale more of a challenge than Alice?
Yes, definitely. With Alice I unexpectedly found that establishing the magical and mechanical clockwork world would became my baseline, and I could go off in lots of crazy directions – but keep coming back to that as a linking device. There's not really an equivalent in The Winter's Tale. It's pretty much a linear narrative that takes you on a journey with a character [Leontes] who descends into irrational jealousy, madness, ruin, remorse and is finally redeemed. There's no chance to draw breath before heading off on another part of the adventure.
The story of The Winter's Tale takes us in and out of different places and eras, which would suggest you could use contrasting tone colours and styles for the various scenes.
Oh yes, completely. The material in Sicilia (our Act I) and the material in Bohemia (our Act II) are like black and white, or even monochrome and colour; if the first act is King Lear then the second is A Midsummer Night's Dream. It's supposed to be as different as possible. These colouristic shifts are meat and drink to ballet. You want to be able to go from high drama to low comedy to romance to reflection to whatever.
So it's rather like a triple bill crammed into one?
Yes, you want as much variety as you can get. We were very clear that Bohemia was going to be a very different place from Sicilia. And it is. The first act is mostly inside this cold, draughty, rather inhuman Sicilian palace, all rather buttoned-up and staid. Bohemia is the exact opposite – it's out in the open, it's summertime, it's full of beautiful fun-loving people having a great old time.
The music for the Sicilian scenes which sandwich the Bohemian one is then presumably much darker.
Very much so. The story of The Winter's Tale is predicated on the idea that everything is ruined by one man's jealousy. This is actually something that Shakespeare comes back to again and again in his works. And one can see why. Anyone who has suffered from that kind of irrational jealousy knows that it is one of the worst feelings in the world. It goes nowhere, it's like a big black hole. You can 'use' anger, somehow, but you can't 'use' jealousy constructively – it is such a pointless emotion! Having established that this is the driving force behind everything, the challenge was how to depict that in music. I had this image of jealousy appearing as a black feeling in the bottom of your stomach, which then envelops and poisons. So the moment in Act I when Leontes stops fighting his jealousy and gives way to completely irrational thinking, the orchestra is eaten by these great big bass drum and gong notes. I've also used strangulated low brass and muted trumpets and shrieking E flat clarinets. I thought about how to depict this jealousy more than anything.

OWINGS MILLS, Md. – The No. 2 Salisbury University women's lacrosse team toppled the No. 1 team in the nation, Trinity (Conn.) College, 12-5, in the NCAA Division III National Championship Game on Sunday afternoon. The win avenged the Sea Gulls' loss to the Bantams in the 2012 title game, the only other meeting between the two programs.
"I think the best word to describe it ... it's just sweet," Salisbury senior Maggie Roundy said following the win. Roundy, Katie Bollhorst and Kara Koolage are the only three players on the team who also played on the program's 2010 title team. "Coming off last year, we were on the bus and I'm pretty sure every girl, in their minds, was thinking, all right, let's get to work. We've got to come back and redeem ourselves. To think about it in the back of your mind every single day and to finally get here, there's really no words, it's just awesome."
The national championship is the second for the SU women's lacrosse program, and 17th overall team title for the Salisbury University athletics program.
Last season, Trinity jumped out to a 4-0 lead through the opening half, and Sunday it was the Sea Gulls who made the most of their early opportunities, scoring on their first three possessions and added another tally a few minutes later for a 4-0 edge of their own.
Roundy found classmate Koolage streaking down the middle, and she planted the ball in the left side for the 1-0 lead, just 88 seconds into the game.
Sophomore Kate Haker came from behind the cage for an unassisted marker to make it 2-0, and on Salisbury's third chance, Bollhorst connected with classmate Lauren Feusahrens for the 3-0 lead, prompting a Trinity timeout.
Five minutes later, Baer set up Roundy, as the senior darted around the net and took the pass on the post, finishing for the 4-0 lead.
"We got a very good start, even though we weren't doing real well in the draw control," Salisbury Head Coach Jim Nestor said. "Offensively, we took our time. We were very patient, and when she called the timeout, I was telling our players, don't get too high because Cortland was up 3-0 (on Saturday against Trinity). We wanted to take it one second, one minute, one play at a time."
After the Bantams scored two free-position goals to cut the lead to 4-2, Salisbury put home two to close out the half and take a four-goal edge into the break.
Roundy came from behind the goal, ducking the stick of a Trinity defender and firing across Trinity goalkeeper Emily Mooney at a sharp angle to push the lead to 5-2, and Baer put home a free-position shot from the right wing, going top right on Mooney to make it 6-2.
A late save on each end of the field, kept the split at four goals, with Salisbury junior Ashton Wheatley turning away Shea Kusiak, cutting across the front of the cage, four yards out, and Mooney cut down a shot by Haker coming from behind the going to the lower-left corner at the horn.
Wheatley, who would be named the championship's Most Outstanding Player, finished with nine saves on Sunday, following her 12-save performance in the semifinals on Saturday.
"I have been so successful the past couple of years because I'm shooting against the best goaltender in the country every day at practice," Bollhorst said. "Other goalies are awesome, but when you're shooting against the returning Goaltender of the Year, every day you know that when you make a shot against Ashton, it's going in against anyone. She's an amazing goalkeeper, an amazing athlete and she's helped me develop my game so much the past couple of years."
The six goals scored by SU tied the most Trinity had allowed in a first half this season, matching The College of New Jersey in the quarterfinals last weekend.
Starting the second half, the Bantams (21-1) scored the first goal to cut the Sea Gull advantage to 6-3, but it was as close as Trinity would get the rest of the game.
Feusahrens scored two of Salisbury's next three goals, with a Bollhorst tally in the middle, allowing the Gulls to go up 9-4 with over 23 minutes left.
Caroline Hayes made it 9-5 before Salisbury scored the final three goals, two more from Feusahrens, and then stalled for the closing five minutes to collect the national championship.
"I thought it was a great game," Head Coach Jim Nestor said. "Today, what we've work on all week, leading up to this weekend, it paid off with all the hard work. The players went with the game plan to a 'T', and they executed exactly the way we wanted them to. Defensively, I thought we played great. Ashton, again, was superb, and it really resulted in that win today."
The win gives Salisbury its 23rd win of the season, a new program record, and brings to the end the careers of seniors Feusahrens, Bollhorst, Koolage, Roundy, defenders Alyssa Hardesty and Kat Gartner.
Feusahrens, Roundy, Baer, junior Meghan Toomey and Wheatley were all named to the All-Tournament Team.

West Englewood saw two homicides in two days last week, a RedEye analysis of preliminary police data found.
A 55-year-old man was shot to death Saturday in the 6200 block of South Laflin Street, police said. Two days earlier, a 19-year-old man was shot to death in the 1400 block of West 73rd Street, according to officials.
West Englewood has recorded 11 homicides so far this year, RedEye data shows. The community area logged 28 homicides last year, according to the data.
Citywide, gunshot homicides were recorded in the last week in Chicago Lawn, New City, Roseland and South Lawndale, RedEye determined.
Meanwhile, a 26-year-old woman was beaten to death last week in Washington Heights, and an 18-month-old Grand Boulevard boy died Sunday after being abused, officials said.
Forty-two homicides have been logged so far this month. Police recorded 54 homicides in June last year, RedEye found.

Welcome to the Needlework Gazette's
Wonderful Stitches Web Site
A web site of resources for stitchery enthusiasts providing decorative patterns and designs for needlepoint, cross-stitch and other forms of decorative stitching.
If you've visited before, you may notice our new look, as we've done some extensive updating. The menu at the top of each page will provide an easy way to navigate through the web site.
Our Book:
Wonderful Stitches
320 Decorative Stitches for Needlepoint
This classic needlepoint reference is finally available again, and this time in a full color edition. Wonderful Stitches contains a lavishly illustrated collection of 320 decorative stitches ranging from small, exquisite diaper patterns, such as ginghams and roses to more elaborate, multicolored, fancy stitch motif combinations. Also included is an original, simple method of stitching that can duplicate the triangles and squares used in hundreds of early American patchwork quilt designs. Another unusual section of stitches simulates lace, as well as some blackwork, a 17th century technique done on elaborately embellished costumes of the period. The final chapters not only continue the collection but reveal how borders are created as well as how to create an endless array of new original patterns.
This new edition can be ordered through Lulu. You can also see some preview pages at our LuLu store.

Anthony Holdsworth has been occupying the streets of Oakland and San Francisco as an urban painter for forty years, so 'Occupy' immediately resonated with him. He grabbed his easel and headed for the encampments. He was surprised and delighted to find two other talented artists, each half his age, Jessica Joy Jirsa and John Paul Marcelo, painting there. They joined forces. John Paul and Anthony traveled across the Bay to witness Occupy San Francisco. And the three of them set up on an overpass to record the occupation of the Port of Oakland.
Their combined viewpoints from inside the camps paint a more accurate picture of Occupy than the limited coverage offered by the press. They see the emergence of the Occupy Movement is a sign that the 'street' is re-entering the political dialogue. It is a good time to be out, on site channeling this populist energy.
These paintings represent a selection from their combined works. Their video, which can be found online at http://vimeo.com/53273646 , gives a fuller idea of the Series.
On Saturday, Oct. 26, from 11 am to 1 pm in the Main Library's cafe level, meet John Paul Marcelo, Anthony Holdsworth, and Jessica Jirsa and learn more about their work. After the reception, stay for the related We Are All Poets program and hear teen poets read their work in collaboration with SF City officials. Information: 415-557-4554.

Let M be the $sl(n,C)$-representation of the inclusion $sl(n,C)\hookrightarrow gl(n,C)$. Let q be a symbol. $f(q)=1-M q + \wedge^2Mq^2-...+(-1)^n\wedge^nMq^n$
$g(q)=\sum_{i=0}^\infty Sym^iM \; q^i$
I want to prove that $f(q)g(q)=1$ which is equivalent to some isomorphism between many representations.
I am not sure if this choice of M is essential. Will any n-dim representation be enough? The worst method might be computing characters with character formulae...
btw product is tenor product. sum is direct sum.

I haven't written about Booksfree before, though the owner has commented in a couple of threads about Bookswim. Booksfree seems to be essentially the same service, except Booksfree was here first and for several years. Since they are actually in business the subscription plans are available to see and compare to Bookswim...except that Bookswim's rates are not posted yet.
The plan rates make sense, are comparable to Netflix's plan, and I think it works.
I still don't think that a book rental plan makes good sense for me since I have such a strong local library system in my area, but without having tested the plan it looks like Booksfree has the right idea...but as always, only for those who don't have access to a good library system.

Dakota county doesn't have quite as strong a system, as the books I want are seldom there, but the MN Interlibrary Loan system is exceptional.

No argument there. There are still a fair amount of SFF books I can't get through Hennepin County (though hopefully the merge with Mpls will go through), so ILL is a dream!

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – The Georgia College women's basketball team (0-1) dropped their season opener Saturday at the Centennial Center as the University of West Georgia (1-0) rode hot three-point shooting to a 75-52 victory.
Sophomore Shanteona Keys (Roswell, Ga.) led the Bobcats in scoring with14 points on 5-of-16 shooting. Keys also pulled down five rebounds. Junior Abby Slocumb (Suwanne, Ga.) tied for the team led in rebounds with sophomore Belinda Schaafsma (Momence, Ill.), both finishing with six.
Offensively West Georgia was led by Mone Peoples, who scored 21 points on 9-for-13 from the field and a perfect 3-for-3 from behind the arc. Taylor Turgeon finished with 16 points on 5-of-11 from the field and 4-of-9 for three.
Junior Tara Wornica (Petersburg, Ind.) played well in her first game as a member of the Bobcats, going 4-of-6 from the field and 5-of-9 from the charity stripe. She finished with 13 points and three rebounds.
The Bobcats trailed 42-24 after the first half, after the Wolves hit 8-of-17 from behind the arc. After some halftime adjustments, the second half was much more evenly matched at 33-28. The Wolves hit just 3-of-13 shots from behind the arc in the second half. The Wolves shot 45.2% from the field for the game, while the Bobcats shot 33.3%.
The Bobcats will regroup and head to Dahlonegha, Ga. next weekend. They'll take part in the Lady Saints Tip-Off Classic, facing off against the University of West Florida and Carson-Newman College. The first game for the Bobcats will be against West Florida coming Friday, Nov. 16 at 4 p.m. and second will be against Carson-Newman Saturday, Nov. 17 at 2 p.m.

Full Item Description
Demon Jade is a translucent stone of moderate hardness that comes in a variety of colors. This material is easily worked and can be made into beads, coins, and if the case of larger pieces, axe heads, armor plates and inlays and other heavy weapons.
On rare occasion, deep clathrates are corrupted by infernal magics. These magic resevoirs are closed off from the normal flow of essence in the manner of an oyster creating a pearl, or the body rejecting a piece of piercing debris. Cut off from the normal essence flow, the clathrate fractures into an amalgam of pieces that slowly work their way towards the surface.
Very deep mines are often contaminated by demon jade, which gives rise to the stories of haunted shafts, mutants lurching from the dark, and undead things lurching about unseen and unheard of in the deep places.
Magic/Cursed Properties
Like a normal clathrate, pieces of demon jade cause magical mutations in those exposed to them for too long. A ritual can be used to seal the material which protects the bearer from it's emanations, but reduces the stone's innate power and doubles it time to regenerate it's essence store. The mutations caused by the jade are generally associated with demonic traits, such as scaly skin, leathery wings, half dead appearance, rotting, claws, hunger for carrion, or the stench of brimstone.
Also like clathrates, this jade comes in elemental 'flavors'. Green Jade is by far the most common and is elementally neutral. Red demon jade has a sulfuric stench and burns with a sickly reddish-green color. Blue demon jade smells of rotting flesh and is always cold to the touch. Black demon jade is the hardest form of the material and infects bearers with greed and atavistic urges, White demon jade, the rarest, smells of incense and at first can be mistaken for a more benign magical material until the bearer becomes homicidaly intolerant.
As a side note to the elemental aspects of the demon jades mentioned above, such 'flavored' demon jades are the youngest of the stone type as the original aspect of the clathrate that was corrupted has not been completely wiped away by the infernal taint that infected and later destroyed the clathrate in question.
Uses of Demon Jade
While the material is certainly suited to the task of being carved into weapons and plates of armor, it is rare that such large pieces are found. The more commonly found small pieces are more useful being made into amulets, pieces of jewelry, and stone inlays for magic weapons and tools.
Swords and Blades - A piece of demon jade placed in the pommel or tang of a bladed weapon will grant the weapon a minor bonus in attacks and damage, as well as giving it the status of being a magical weapon for terms of creatures that cannot be harmed by mundane weapons. Such weapons radiate faint to moderate magic and have an aura of evil or malice about them.
Arrowheads - with red and white demon jades being the most popular, arrows with heads shaped out of this material deal extra damage, or if properly enchanted make excellent arrows of slaying. Enchanting a demon jade arrow is a considered quick and dirty magic, easily done. It is also expensive as most arrowheads will break if striking metal armors. Fragments of demon jade fester in wounds and are hard to remove.
Armor Inlays - A piece of demon jade can be used to Fortify a suit of armor, granting it a minor boost in protective ability, also giving it the status of being magical armor. Like weapons, the inlaid armor will radiate both magic and evil in respective amounts.
Jewelry - sealed demon jade is most commonly used for this purpose. Such pieces function as aids in sorcery, providing essence to fuel magic spells or as foci in the use of infernal magics. When polished and cut like a gemstone, demon jade most resembles peridot.

Yes, I know that there are other option, rsh, ssh, etc. that are better. However, those aren't always options. Some switches only use telnet, some OSes only have telnet enabled or available (i.e. a fresh install of AIX 6.1). This will explain how to automate telnet using both a hereto doc (using bash, though other shells may support it) and expect.
a hereto doc is in this form:
command <<EOF
so, for telnet:
#!/bin/bash # Define variable HOST='server.domain.com' USER='root' PASS='hobo3' # Telnet telnet $HOST <<EOF echo "$USER" sleep 5 echo "$PASS" sleep 5 echo "cd /var/tmp" sleep 3 echo "> .test" EOF
so, this will send all the follow commands to telnet. Login, create a file and logout. All automated. This is not the most efficient, but can be more universal, as bash, and some other shells, support hereto docs.
using expect (This will also use a hereto doc, but is a bit more efficient):
#!/bin/bash # Define variable HOST='server.domain.com' USER='root' PASS='hobo3' expect <<EOF spawn telnet $HOST expect "login:" send "$USER\r" expect "$USER's Password:" send "$PASSWD\r" expect -re "\n# " send "chuser fsize=-1 root\r" expect -re "\n# " send "ulimit -f unlimited\r" expect -re "\n# " send "cd /var/scripts \r" expect -re "\n# " send "rm -f aix-*\r" expect -re "\n# " send "sleep 2\r" EOF
So, expect has a lot of features, for a better explanation of expect use man expect. The ones used here are spawn which spawns the process, expect which waits for the input to match your string, and send which sends output to the process. This allows you program for specific situations, and is faster than using the hereto doc with telnet, as you don't need to sleep between each command.

I've only subscribed to two newsletters ever, one being former National Review editor Joseph Sobran's "Real News of the Month." In the mid-1990s I was in my early 20s and the discovery of past conservative thinkers like Russell Kirk and Richard Weaver encouraged me to seek out their contemporary intellectual descendants, of which Sobran was one of only a handful. Most right-wingers in the '90s, including many pundits and intellectuals, were so obsessed with Bill Clinton that conservative first principles took a backseat to hyper-partisanship and conspiracy theories, neither of which interested me. No doubt Clinton was an awful president, but so was his predecessor, and of course his successor proved far worse–yet even today most conservative journalists cannot bring themselves to bash in a bipartisan fashion. Sobran was not only one of the few exceptions to this rule, but would combine news and politics with deeper philosophical and civilizational concerns similar to men like Kirk or Weaver. At the time, I realized that if being a conservative simply meant hating Democrats then it meant nothing. But if being conservative was to think like Sobran, it had immeasurable meaning precisely because he constantly encouraged his audience to remember and reexamine what that term meant.
Learning of Sobran's passing last week at the age of 64, I began to recall so many of his conservative reminders, particularly his Jeffersonian views on foreign policy and how valuable they are today. One of the beautiful things about the Tea Party is it n ow encourages conservatives to remember and reexamine what they stand for–Sobran's specialty–a reflection that was even less in evidence under George W. Bush than it was under Clinton. Sobran had to leave his 18-year job as editor of National Review in 1993 due in part to his traditionally conservative views clashing with the neoconservatives' agenda for the Middle East, or as he wrote in his final column before his death:
"I saw thirty years ago that we were headed for needless war with the Arabs, and I had two boys in their teens. By 1991 I hated Bush with a murderous fury. He was willing to get young men like my son Mike killed for no clear reason. I didn't want them dying in the Middle East, where we always seem to be defending democracy and freedom these days… Nobody else at National Review seemed to have this worry."
Today, the neoconservatives that so worried Sobran are worried themselves about a Tea Party movement hellbent on cutting spending, particularly if grassroots conservatives begin critiquing the monstrously big government program of American empire. Last week, columnists representing the American Enterprise Institute–Danielle Pletka and Thomas Donnelly–warned in the Washington Post that Tea Partiers should stay away from the likes of Ron or Rand Paul, Sen. Tom Coburn, Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels, and any other Republican who would dare question our current foreign policy. Neoconservatives Pletka and Donnelly seem to believe that America's superpower status is what makes it great, forever spreading "freedom" and "democracy" around the world through perpetual war. Needless to say, the conservative Sobran took a more traditional view:
"[M]any Americans admire America for being strong, not for being American. For them America has to be 'the greatest country on earth' in order to be worthy of their devotion. If it were only the 2nd-greatest, or the 19th-greatest, or, heaven forbid, 'a 3rd-rate power,' it would be virtually worthless… . This is nationalism, not patriotism… . When it comes to war, the patriot realizes that the rest of the world can't be turned into America, because his America is something specific and particular–the memories and traditions that can no more be transplanted than the mountains and the prairies… . But the nationalist, who identifies America with abstractions like freedom and democracy, may think it's precisely America's mission to spread those abstractions around the world–to impose them by force, if necessary. In his mind, those abstractions are universal ideals, and they can never be truly 'safe' until they exist, unchallenged, everywhere; the world must be made 'safe for democracy' by 'a war to end all wars…' For the nationalist, war is a welcome opportunity to change the world. This is a recipe for endless war."
Endless indeed. The Wilsonian vision Sobran describes is progressive in origin, yet is also the neoconservatives' vision and to the extent that the neocons continue to define the Right's foreign policy, this will forever prevent even the rambunctious Tea Partiers from truly achieving their stated limited-government desires. As George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Joseph Sobran once warned, a state of perpetual war is simply incompatible with republican government. As evidenced by Pletka and Donnelly's recent column, the neoconservatives now fear too many conservatives are beginning to waking up to this. Sobran spent years trying to wake them up, reminding his right-wing friends that "War has all the characteristics of socialism most conservatives hate: Centralized power, state planning, false rationalism, restricted liberties, foolish optimism about intended results, and blindness to unintended secondary results."
The countless examples of Sobran's wit and wisdom are too many to revisit here, but he should be remembered not only as one of the greatest conservative minds of our time–but of all time. Sobran's genuine patriotism informed his genuine conservatism thus putting him at odds with neoconservatism for the last decades of his career. To the extent that neoconservatives took over the larger movement, there was simply no place for a man like Sobran. And to the extent that traditional conservatives can now take back their movement from the big government neocons, they will be fighting the same battles as the late, great, Joseph Sobran.

July Coronation Curia
Curia minutes July 16, 2006 Meeting began at 9:10 AM Royalty Present: HRM King Amalric, HRM Queen Caia, HH Prince Kheron of Tir Righ, HH Princess Ksenia of Tir Righ. HRM King Amalric stated that with all the email traffic that They receive; please do not hesitate to call on the phone if the matter is urgent. HH Prince Kheron requested of the Kingdom Officers that the Prince and Princess be ccd in any email dealing with Principality Officers. Exchequer HL Sarah and Master Pyotr report. HL Sarah introduced Master Pyotr as her replacement. She stated that Master Pyotr will be much faster in responding to email. NMS Master Pyotr states that while collecting the NMS is still a challenge, Tir Righ Rocks! After some administrative sanctions, currently submissions are coming in. There is one exception but Master Pyotr is working with the branch to resolve the issue. Earl Marshall Sir Daniel reports that there are no serious issues in the Marshallate at this time. HRM King Amalric stated that the 12 foot spear will no longer be used in An Tir. Sir Daniel stated that the new society regulations should be finished during this Reign, and with the help of the Kingdom Webminister, an e-group will be set up to work on the Kingdom ABCs. He stated that the ABCs will be set at Society minimums with adjustments for An Tir. There will be no longer be non-contact archers allowed on the fields. This should not require any monetary additions to the archers, since the armor standards are currently sufficient. Equestrian Marshall Master Togrul reports that the Kingdom Equestrian Championship will take place this year at September Crown. HL Alessandra asked that she be furnished with the times of the competition, so that she can coordinate her attendance with the other competitions happening at September Crown Master Togrul states that while An Tirs equestrian program is still on probation, he has been in touch with the Society Equestrian Officer and she does not see any problem ending the probation in September at the six months initially imposed. List Mistress HL Alessandra reports that she will be stepping down at 12th Night. She would like to highly recommend her deputy Sbyslava Isakova as her replacement. Sir Daniel stated that the Marshallate would happily support HL Alessandras choice. Provost Marshal for Rapier Combat Don Ramone reports. There is currently no Provost Marshall for the Kingdom. He will continue acting as deputy. Black Lion Herald HL Christopher reports. He presented the new Heralds Tabard created by Lady Altaliana of Dragons Laire. The rest of the ordered tabards are under construction. HL Christopher had a question regarding who signs Principality warrants. The question was answered and HL Christopher will be sent the warrants to be signed after the Crown signs them. Concerning the Equestrian award: The name "ordo equi" will no longer be used. It was returned by laurel because it was in conflict with the order of the Chivalry. "Ordre du Cheval et Lion" will be used for past Equestrian Champion and is non-armigerous. "Ordre du Lion et de la Lance is the new name for the grant level equestrian order. This is not replacing "ordo equi" because that order was in kingdom law as a non-armigerous order. The new order will confer a Grant of Arms if the recipient does not already have one. The Order of Precedence will be changed to reflect this sometime in the near future. Since the original intent of Ordo Equi was to confer a Grant of Arms and since they have been recorded in the OP as a Grant all members of the former "ordo equi" will now be members of the grant-level Ordre du Lion et de la Lance. Minister of Arts and Sciences Master Gordon reports that he will be stepping down as soon as a replacement can be found. His resignation and letter requesting applicants has been submitted to the Crier. Chronicler Master Arontius reports that Avacal and Tir Righ are very strong in reporting and the Summits is catching up. He states that he will be sending warrants for Their Majesties to sign. Master Arontius expressed his intention to extend his term in his office for one year. HRM Amalric said yes! Kingdom Law is being revised and will be published this Reign. Viscountess Nadezhda stated that if any officers see problems with the current version of Kingdom Law please send corrections to Master Arontius, Master Ljotr or her. Kingdom Chirugeon HL Tvorimir reports that he would like to extend his term by one year. He states that the Chirugeonate is growing and morale is good. Teamwork is happening and also going well. There are some concerns at the Society level regarding titles within the Chirugeonate. There are some legal concerns about the term Master Chirugeon. These titles will be changing down the line, but these changes will probably not impact anything in Kingdom Law. Kingdom Scribe HL Turrien reports that Mistress Jill Blackhorse is the Royal Scribe for Their Majesties. HL Turrien requested that the job description of the Royal Scribe appear in Kingdom Law. There was some discussion about whether this was law or custom, and the decision was made to continue the discussion outside of Curia. HL Turrien stated that to get the best deal on sealing wax, the Kingdom had purchased enough to last for years. There has been a request from branches to purchase wax from the Kingdom. As there were no objections to the theory, HL Turrien will work on this proposal with Master Pyotr. HL Turrien stated that the Black Lion Matrix for the seals was no longer working properly. She requested permission to take bids to replace the matrix. HRM Amalric said Make it so. The Scribal Road show has been well received, and anyone wishing to experience the road show should send a request to HL Turrien. The website is currently being updated. Minister of Children HL Fiona reports. The program is picking up nicely, along with the Preceptor of Pages program. July Coronation marks the first graduation from the Pages Program. The program is growing steadily from the Shire of Dragons Mist outward to the rest of the Kingdom. Minister of Games HL Tewl reports. He requests a change in the name of the office. He feels that Game Master can be intimidating, referencing a mastery of all games, instead of an interest in fostering games. He asked that the office be called Games Officer. HRM said Make it so. Things are progressing. There are no Principality Games Officers at this time. A live version of Fox and Geese has been developed and passed onto the Childrens groups. HRM Caia thanked the Principality of Tir Righ for the lovely basket of games that had been presented to them. Kingdom Events Deputy HL Anneka reports. There is a new events policy on the website. HL Anneka is trying to reconstruct reports from 2000 and 2001, if you have reports for Kingdom Events from that time period, please send her a copy. HL Anneka proposed combining Kingdom Bardic Championship and Kingdom Arts and Sciences Championships. She cited both attendance levels and financial considerations as her reason for the proposal. The proposal states that the 2006 Bardic Championship will take place as planned, and that the next Bardic Championship will be held at Kingdom Arts and Sciences in 2008. Master Gordon requested time to gather more information before Their Majesties make a decision. His Royal Majesty stated that while He is seriously considering HL Annekas proposal, the decision will not be made until Master Gordon has gathered more information Deputy for New and Incipient Branches - Mistress Miranda reports that there are 3 incipient groups at this time. She then introduced her replacement, HL Donwenna. Events: July Coronation Master Arontius reports early numbers are 1,200 people signed in on site and over $17,000 gross. September Crown HL Quentin Martel reports that due to modern work he has had to relocate to Madrone, but the event is still in Shittemwoode at Hovander Park.

text: OAKLAND, Calif. -- During a players meeting following the All-Star break, Jermaine ONeal promised his teammates to play the rest of the regular season like he would never play again -- because he very well might not. The 18-year NBA veteran has backed up his words more than anybody ever expected. ONeal had season highs of 23 points and 13 rebounds to carry the load for an undermanned frontcourt, and the Golden State Warriors held off the Brooklyn Nets 93-86 Saturday night for their third straight victory since the break. "Whatever I have, Im going to leave it on the able. Ive said that quite a few times, but Im dead serious," said the 36-year-old ONeal, who missed extensive time following surgery on his wrist earlier this season. "You may have to wheel me out of here at the end of the season, but thats what Im going to do." With Andrew Bogut sidelined with a left shoulder injury and David Lee out with a stomach flu, ONeal followed up his game-saving block that preserved Golden States overtime victory against Houston on Thursday night with a vintage performance. ONeal shot 10 for 13 from the floor, and Draymond Green scored a career-best 18 points to go with 10 rebounds starting in Lees place. Stephen Curry banked in a big 3-pointer in the final minute to finish with 17 points, and the Warriors won three games in a row for the first time since the Nets ended their 10-game winning streak on Jan. 8 in Brooklyn -- crediting ONeal for leading the way in the locker room and on the court. "Hes getting an opportunity to put a stamp on what he says," Warriors coach Mark Jackson said. "Its no longer what he says, its what hes doing." The veteran Nets never matched the intensity. Deron Williams had 20 points and six assists, and Joe Johnson scored 15 points for Brooklyn, which struggled to shoot from 3-point range and was just as careless passing. Brooklyn made just 2 of 21 attempts from beyond the arc and committed 16 turnovers. "I thought we had a lot of good shots, they just didnt fall," said Nets forward Paul Pierce, who scored 11 points on 3-for-11 shooting. "Sometimes you live by the 3, you die by the 3. We should attack more, especially with them limited in their big men." The Nets made sure the game moved at a plodding pace until the final minutes. Johnson made an 18-foot fadeaway to tie the score at 84 with 2:22 remaining. Green followed with two free throws, then Andray Blatche converted a tying layup. ONeal drew a foul on the other end and hit two free throws -- getting another chance after missing his second attempt because of a hitch in his release that drew a lane violation -- to give Golden State an 88-86 lead. On Brooklyns next possession, Johnsons pass was deflected before hitting Williams hands and landing out of bounds. Curry quickly came back by banking in a 3-pointer to put the Warriors up 91-86 with 37 seconds remaining and put the game out of reach. The win moved the Warriors (34-22) a season-high 12 games over .500. They begin a six-game road trip -- all against Eastern Conference opponents -- at Detroit on Monday. Golden States smaller lineup gave the Nets fits from the start. Curry hit two 3-pointers during an 18-6 run to open the game. Brooklyns slow start compounded when Shaun Livingston left in the first quarter with a bruised tailbone after falling hard when he was fouled by Harrison Barnes going for a layup. The team said X-rays on Livingston were negative. Just like they did in Brooklyn, though, the Nets rallied from an early deficit against Golden States second unit. Brooklyn took the lead for the first time when Williams started a three-point play on a layup over Andre Iguodala, putting the Nets up 46-44 late in the second quarter. They never led again. "Even though we didnt shoot the ball extremely well from behind the arc, it was a game until the last minute," Nets coach Jason Kidd said. "On the road against a team like Golden State, thats all you can ask for." NOTES: Green said he was in an accident driving to the game, but that no one was injured. ... Nets G Marcus Thornton sat out with a stomach illness. He has yet to play since being traded from Sacramento on Wednesday for Jason Terry and Reggie Evans. ... Warriors coach Mark Jackson said Bogut, who missed his seventh straight game because of an ailing left shoulder, will likely return at some point during the Warriors six-game road trip. ... The Warriors signed C Hilton Armstrong to a 10-day contract, calling him from the teams NBA Development League affiliate in Santa Cruz.

U.N. calculations of poison rockets' paths implicate Syrian guard unit
A U.N. report detailing the scientific evidence behind the Aug. 21 chemical weapons attack in Syria carefully avoided laying blame for the incident. But the report's details, particularly its calculations of the trajectories of the rockets that delivered poison gas to two Damascus suburbs, point directly at President Bashar Assad's regime, experts concluded Tuesday after a day spent studying the U.N. findings.
Until this week, the public case against the Syrian government was based on trust in American, British and French assessments that were based largely on logic and conjecture but provided little detail about where information had come from. But the U.N. report, released Monday in New York, was filled with details gathered by inspectors from the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons and was written with care so as to provide evidence without taking sides.
Specialists, however, said the report provided undeniable evidence that the rockets were launched from points outside the control of Syrian rebel fighters.
"If the U.N. inspectors correctly calculated the trajectories, it certainly seems to indicate that the chemically armed rockets were fired from government-controlled land," said Peter Bouckaert, Human Rights Watch emergencies director and weapons expert. "It's clear and convincing evidence."
The key to that conclusion lies in the investigators' determinations of the azimuths for the rockets they inspected. An azimuth is a way of indicating direction on a circle from any point. North is considered 0 degrees, south is 180 degrees. East is 90 degrees, west is 270 degrees. Variations of directions such as southeast or northwest are indicated by where they fall on the numbered circle.
The first attack that night was on the suburban enclave of Moadamiya, which is south of Damascus' center. When studying the wreckage of two rockets and the craters they made, the inspection team determined that they'd come in at 34- and 35-degree azimuths, meaning they'd traveled from north-northeast to the south-southwest.
The second attack, about an hour or so later, left behind a crater and the ruins of a rocket in Zamalka, due east of Damascus. That rocket flew in at an azimuth of 285 degrees, meaning it had been traveling from west-northwest toward the east-southeast.
Lines drawn along those azimuths, taking into consideration the known maximum range of the rockets that hit Moadamiya and the estimated range of the rocket that hit Zamalka, intersect at the base of the 104th Brigade of Syria's Republican Guard, on a hill overlooking central Damascus.
The base is adjacent to the Syrian Scientific Studies and Research Center, which is suspected of being the root of Syria's chemical weapons program; the base itself is said to be home to Syria's chemical warriors.
Bouckaert added that the early rockets can't definitively be shown to have come from the Republican Guard base. But their flight paths offer little, if any, ground on which rebels can operate, leaving little doubt as to who fired them. The trajectory includes the Republican Guard base, the presidential palace and grounds, at least one other military base and the edges of the government-controlled airport.
Austin Long, a security and weapons expert at Columbia University, said his back-of-an-envelope tabulations since the U.N. report came out indicated that the Republican Guard, which is thought to control the chemical stockpiles, very likely moved one rocket system to a secure location near the base and launched.
"Then they could scuttle back home," Long said in an email.
The rocket used in the second attack, he wrote, was unusual and more difficult to assess but most probably was fired from close to the base.
"The 330 mm rocket appears to be a unique Syrian weapon so I have not the foggiest idea of its range," Long wrote. He added: "Just eyeballing the map and knowing the azimuth, the two attacks could have very similar points of origin."
Azimuths weren't the only evidence damning the Syrian regime in this case. Bouckaert noted that the weapons and the attack itself implicated the Syrian military. The rebels are known to have launchers for rockets similar to the ones that hit Moadamiya, but theirs are smaller versions with 120 mm rockets, not 140 mm rockets as used in the attack.
The reason is clear, Bouckaert said: The 140 mm version is an outdated piece of Soviet hardware, and was designed for chemical attacks. The overall usefulness of such a weapons system to the rebels, even if they had chemicals to use, would be limited.
The rocket that hit Zamalka, however, is stronger evidence. Bouckaert said the 330 mm rocket was made industrially.
"But we haven't seen it before in any conflict," he said. "It's not in the books. It's not listed anywhere."
It appears to have been designed to be fired from an Iranian launcher, which the Syrians are known to have. But the rocket itself appears to be Syrian made.
"The 140 mm rockets carry about 5 liters of sarin liquid, which vaporizes on impact," he said. "But the 330 mm rocket is essentially a rocket with a trash can on the end. It carries about 55 liters of sarin liquid, which also vaporizes on impact."
He said Human Rights Watch estimated that far more people died from the 330 mm shelling.
"Two different rocket systems, both known to be used by the Syrian regime and not by the rebels, a precision attack on rebel areas, a substantial amount of sarin and launched from regime-controlled areas," Bouckaert said, rattling off the clues to the Assad regime's involvement. "The case is very strong."

In a long article about the Indiana Democratic Primary, there's a picture of Hillary Clinton getting the endorsement of IRL racer and team-owner Sarah Fisher, with the caption "Hillary Rodham Clinton paid an election-day visit to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Tuesday to appear with race car driver Sarah Fisher, a top woman on the Indy car circuit, who endorsed her this week." This is true in the same way that Hillary Clinton is the top performer in the Democratic race for the White House in that "top" here means "supreme but for those other people with superior records." Technicalities.
We don't mean to indicate that Sarah Fisher isn't a capable driver or team owner, it's just that she's never won a race and her best finish is 17th. We think that "top woman" honors should go to Danica Patrick, who actually won a race. Still, after this we predict a 15-point spread for Hillary in Indiana. (h/t Hyman_Decent)


text: Douglas Coupland has been described as "possibly the most gifted exegete of North American mass culture writing today." His prolific output of great novels, coupled with his work in design and visual art has firmly placed him as an authority on the landscape of the 21st century. It was his desire for escapism that led to his new book, the rigourously funny and wonderfully filthy Worst. Person. Ever. He talks to Indigo about mixing the profane with the sacred, and the power of literature as an art form.

Birdies Gift
Recovered the Silverballers.
Birdie's Gift is a short chapter. Lynch from the series Kane and Lynch is on the firing range, but he will not play a part in completing the level.
One possible way to beat this stage without much fuss is to sabotage the panel (turn right after the entrance and left, to find it). The guy behind the counter will come over. This is your chance to get the keycard near your locked-up guns without getting into trouble.
With keycard in-hand, go to the indoors duck shooting range. When the cops aren't watching, crawl through the vent on the other side. If you're fast, the gunshop owner is still in his office. Wait for him to exit or subdue him.
If you decided to play nice, grab everything in the office, then climb out the window. Hug the wall and quickly cross to the wall in front of the shooters and sneak into the trenches. Follow the trench to get to the secret bunker, open it with the keycard and grab the notebook with the combination inside.
If you decided to ambush and subdue the gunshop owner instead, you can grab the notebook from him as well.
Once 47 has the notebook, open the safe (in the same range office), grab the key, get the Silverballers and leave.
The shooting contest is mostly about your patience in earning Instinct (from shooting the targets, not using point-shooting, failing, then starting the contest in earnest). Auto-snap to targets, then aim up to hit the heads. Whenever there are many targets on screen, use your Instinct to score perfect 20s.
Shooting Contest Scoring[edit]

At the 2012 Formula One season's opening race in Melbourne, Lotus's Kimi Räikkönen, back from a two-year sabbatical, proved that he's the same old Kimi that those who appreciate laconic Finns have come to love. Listen to his radio conversation with the pits to see why. And if you can't have enough Kimi, watch his fabulous deadpan appearance on Top Gear a week before his first race for Lotus, where he did an even better impersonation of himself than Sebastian Vettel did last December.
