Voyager of the Seas Review
The five-ship Voyager-class debuted in 1999 with Voyager of the Seas, which had such innovations as the first ice-skating rink at sea and the Main-Street–style Royal Promenade. In 2014, Voyager of the Seas is slated to receive more features, including an outdoor movie screen poolside, an updated wine bar, casual Park Café, Italian specialty restaurant, digital signage, lounges for elite past passengers, and a new nursery.
A truly impressive building program introduced one of these gigantic Voyager-class ships per year over a five-year period. With their rock-climbing walls, ice-skating rinks, in-line skating tracks, miniature golf, and multiple dining venues, they are destinations in their own right. Sports enthusiasts will be thrilled with nonstop daytime action.
The unusual horizontal, multiple-deck promenade-atriums on Voyager-class vessels can stage some of the pageantry for which Royal Caribbean is noted. Fringed with boutiques, bars, and even coffee shops, the mall-like expanses set the stage for evening parades and events, as well as spots to simply kick back for some people-watching.
Other public rooms are equally dramatic. Though it's considered to be three separate dining rooms, the triple-deck height of the single space is stunning. These ships not only carry a lot of people, but carry them well. Space is abundant, and crowding is seldom an issue.
Big, bigger, biggest! In the early 1990s, Royal Caribbean launched Sovereign-class ships, the first of the modern megacruise liners, which continue to be the all-around favorite of passengers who enjoy traditional cruising ambience with a touch of daring and whimsy. Plunging into the 21st century, each ship in the current fleet carries more passengers than the entire Royal Caribbean fleet of the 1970s, and has amenities—such as new surfing pools—that were unheard of in the past.
All Royal Caribbean ships are topped by the company's signature Viking Crown Lounge, a place to watch the seascape by day and dance at night. Expansive multideck atriums and promenades, as well as the generous use of brass and floor-to-ceiling glass windows, give each vessel a sense of spaciousness and style. The action is nonstop in casinos and dance clubs after dark, while daytime hours are filled with poolside games and traditional cruise activities. Port talks tend to lean heavily on shopping recommendations and the sale of shore excursions.

Edwards Frustrated After Gamble Fails
The 2012 season began with high hopes for the No. 99 Ford team from Roush Fenway Racing.
It's not too late for those hopes to be realized, butCarl Edwards could not mask his frustration over the way Saturday night's Quaker State 400 at Kentucky Speedway ended -- and the way his season has unfolded so far. An apparent miscommunication between driver Carl Edwards and crew chief Bob Osborne led to a risky, and ultimately costly, gamble on fuel mileage in Kentucky.
"I am definitely frustrated with how it played out," Edwards said after having to pit for fuel with four laps remaining, leaving him with a 20th-place finish. He had been running third when his fuel light began blinking.
But, by then, he knew it was coming. Edwards was short on fuel because he had last pitted on Lap 203. Others, such as eventual winner Brad Keselowski, had come in for their final stop on or around Lap 209 at the 1.5-mile track. Edwards had a chance to come in and top off with fuel under a caution at the same time -- but by the time Osborne told him to come to pit road, it was too late.
They then had a mild debate over the team radio about pitting next time around before Osborne implored Edwards to stay out -- against Edwards' wishes. The theory was that by pitting they would give up too much track position, whereas if they stayed out and stayed up front, all they would need was one more caution and they might have challenged for the victory.
"We had a pretty good car at the end. Bob [Osborne] called me onto pit road. He knew we should have pitted that last time, but I was already so far around that [commitment] cone that I just didn't feel right cutting across traffic and slamming the splitter down to make it to pit road," Edwards said. "So, we were put in a box. We hoped there would be a caution but there wasn't.
"It is time for us to get it in gear. I am real frustrated, Bob is real frustrated and I know we can do this. We ran as well as any Ford out here tonight. At the end, I think with some fuel we would have had a chance to win it."
Immediately after climbing from his car, Edwards engaged in an earnest conversation with Osborne. The two shook hands afterward -- and again after they emerged separately from the No. 99 hauler and spoke briefly one more time.
"Well, the problem was I called him down pit road too late and he missed pit road," Osborne said. "At that point, we looked at our options and decided to take our chance on a caution -- and the caution didn't come. We just ran it to the end and did a splash-and-go when the caution didn't come. It just didn't go our way. We didn't get the job done."
The 20th-place finish left Edwards 11th in the points standings -- the same spot he occupied coming in. But he has yet to win this season and had hoped to use the Kentucky race to move back inside the top 10.
The top 10 drivers in the points standings, plus two wild-card entries determined by those with the most wins 11th through 20th in the standings, determine the 12 Chase for the Sprint Cup drivers who will compete for the championship over the season's final 10 races. There are now only nine races left before the 26-race cutoff for the Chase.
Furthermore, Edwards -- the runner-up to championTony Stewart last season -- has not had a top-10 since finishing ninth at Charlotte more than a month ago. He's had three finishes of 20th or worse in the past five races, and two finishes this season of 31st or worse.
Edwards said he has heard criticism of his team and himself in efforts to explain his struggles. He said he -- and his team -- must ignore the barbs and keep working toward the common goals of winning races and making the Chase.
"We just have to stick together as a team," Edwards said. "That's what Bob and I talked about last week. I hear it all. I hear everything. I hear, 'He is focused on the booth; he is tore up over Tony's deal last year; he needs a new crew chief.' None of that is true.
"We are having some bad luck and some bad communication here. We can do this together. We could divide right now or we could come together."
Both Edwards and Osborne clearly vote for coming together.
"We've been a little snake-bitten, for sure," Osborne said. "I feel like we had a good car. We started 25th and were able to run up front there when we had to -- and on older tires than everybody else. ...We've got things that aren't going right, and we're not making the most of the opportunities that we have. We've got to improve on that. We've got to do the right thing at the right time, and we're not getting that done. I've got to do a better job of making things like that happen."
Edwards wanted to make it clear that he still believes Osborne is the best man for the job atop the No. 99 pit box.
"I have the best crew chief in the business, and he proved it at the end of the year last year," Edwards said. "We got beat on a crazy call by [then-Stewart crew chief] Darian [Grubb] and those guys last year and we need to get going and get this Ford in Victory Lane for Fastenal and everyone that supports us."
Of course, Fastenal was not the primary sponsor on Edwards' car Saturday night. He was carrying the UPS colors.
"We had UPS here and wanted to have a really good run for them. I really wanted to beat Denny [Hamlin, whose primary sponsor is FedEx] considering the implications there for delivery companies," said Edwards, who ultimately finished 17 spots behind the third-place finisher in Hamlin.
There were more serious implications, however, as Edwards and his crew chief clearly are battling to save their season.
"It's not really a lack of communication," Osborne insisted. "The communication is there. You know, it's just not working the way we want it to work. And it's difficult because our teammates run great every week. We seem to have really good cars quite often, but we're just not getting the finishes. We've got to figure out how to reverse that and get the finishes that this team is capable of doing."
Edwards did try to keep it all in proper perspective.
"A bad day at the race track is still better than a good day with a real job, but we need to get this in gear. We need to go," he said.

Black ice
One year later, I am still grieving for Newtown.
[Originally posted December 17, 2012]
The morning after last Friday, my five-year-old son, C, went over to his little play table, and told me not to look. But I watched his back as he sat quietly, even though he kept calling over his shoulder: "Don't look at what I'm doing." What else could I do, but look at him? Since he came home from kindergarten the day before all I could do was hold his face in my hands, rumple his baby-chick hair, listen to him earnestly tell me about another Friday at school. I hardly let him walk at all on Friday night, and Saturday morning; I practically carried him around the house with his head on my shoulder. So he knew something was up.
"OK, you can look now," he called, and I hurried over to him. He made me a card. "C loves Mommeyy" it said.
I turned away from him, hid my tears. I rummaged in the drawer to find tape, take a breath, and stick the card up on a cabinet. I hugged him, again. "Don't forget T," he said, and I hugged the two-year-old too. Again. And that little glimpse of sadness is about as much of an inkling I want them to have that something horrible happened on Friday.
The internet is clogged with cliches this week, and here's another: once you become a parent, you can never relax again. It's a cliche because it's true. And I can't. A parent's job is to anticipate peril, in any form, and shield a child from it as best we can, for as long as we can. But what about a peril, an evil, that's so palpable, and hits us right where we send our children to be safe, and to thrive? We all know danger is always right around the corner, no matter what we do, but this is too stark and immediate a reminder to us all that everything must end.
I am sure I am not alone when I say it was difficult to send C to school today. Another embodiment of the fact that every goodbye releases him into the unknown. So we all put on boots and hats; instead of one or the other of us dropping C at school a few houses up the street, we all decided to go.
When we opened our front door, it looked like another raw, wet December day in New England. But on his first step out of the house, C slipped and fell. The wooden porch and steps were covered with a thin, invisible layer of black ice. The front walk looked merely wet but it was too, too slick; back in the house we went. We would go out the back door. But those steps were the same. We stumbled back into the house.
Finally, we made it out the third, and last door, through the murky basement. Cobwebs cover the stone foundation walls. C hoped that our noise would scare away the mice he thinks run rampant down there. "What's that?!" A leaf scurried across our path as we opened the door.
Out on the sidewalk, C was still slipping on the invisible ice, and I walked tentatively, clutching a squirming T. I grabbed a bush to steady myself as I walked, and the leaves crackled. "I'd better take T back inside. Just hold on to C and go," I said to their dad. There were more pressing dangers at hand; I couldn't risk a fall to make a statement that would only soothe me, and not protect the boys.
Aside from police that are set to cruise by schools in town throughout the day, it will, I hope, be just another day. And though I will continue to grieve for Newtown, and pray that something good will come of this nightmare, I will say nothing of it all to C. He is five; he is too little to comprehend the evil that people are capable of in the world, evil that can end the lives of twenty beautiful children, and how close to it we all can find ourselves. Though on the other side of it, there is a lesson to be learned in the bravery that was shown by so many that day.
Little kids, judging from watching my own at play, see the world in black and white, like the pages of a comic book. Nearly every game C invents with his friends is about "good guys" and "bad guys." It could be Spider-Man, or Batman, or themselves in superhero form. But in their make-believe world, the emphasis is not on the evil that these dreamed-up bad guys do. They are just bad; what they do is never specified. What's important, in the game, is the imperative that the good guys (themselves included) have to vanquish evil and save the day.
"Are bad guys real?" C asked me a few days ago, before any of this happened. "They are," I said. "Bad guys in comics aren't real, but there are people in the world that aren't nice, that do bad things. But there are good guys out there, to stop them."
We can't always, as we learned so painfully, stop them. And I can't always carry my children around the house, or away from black ice, or shield them from terrible things. They will have to be able to stand on their own one day. But not today.
Now, all I can do is foster the good that lives in them, and remind them of the good in the world, the kindness, the bravery. In our town, and other New England towns like ours. And I will remind them with a smile, with warmth and reassurance, while all the while I wear a mantle of grief and fear, that I will hide behind me.

Ugh. Just UGH!
I know exactly. Every moment since he walked through the door Friday, till I watched him climb up onto the bus Monday, I couldn't stop watching. Hugging. Holding. Turning away only to sheild him from my tears.
How do I get back to normal. Do I even want to?
Just ugh.December 18, 2012

Incorrect Configuration: Wrong Peripheral ID in the Connection Profile
From DocWiki
Wrong Peripheral ID in the Connection Profile
|Problem Summary
|Incorrect configuration due to a wrong Peripheral ID in the Connection Profile
|Error Message
|Possible Cause
|When the client attempts to login using a specific connection profile, the client application associates itself with the Peripheral ID contained in the connection profile. The client application then waits for CTI OS server to signal that the peripheral associated with that Peripheral ID is online before it attempts to login to that peripheral. If the connection profile contains the incorrect Peripheral ID, the client application may receive this notification prematurely or not at all. In the former case the login will fail with no indication to the user. In the latter case, the user will be informed that the system is offline and that the login attempt will be queued until the system comes online. Since the client application randomly selects a configuration server each time the client application starts, symptoms of this problem may be sporadic if connection profile information is not consistent between configuration servers.
|Recommended Action
| To modify the Peripheral ID in the connection profile:

Why do you confine your concept of God to mathematics. Mathematics can only
estimate what might be fixed laws. It cannot guarantee truth. Physicists
are now suggesting that matter is an illusion.
As a reference see: <http://www.calphysics.org/pop_articles.html>
See the article Beyond E=mc2 for how we can reason this way. I quote:
_It is actually a statement about how much energy is required to give the
appearance of a certain amount of mass, rather than about the conversion of
one fundamental thing, energy, into another fundamental thing, mass._
[B. Haisch, A. Rueda & H.E. Puthoff, The Sciences, Vol. 34, No. 6, November
/ December, pp. 26-31 (1994).]
Mathematics cannot explain the truth of a non-deterministic free will.
God used God's free will to create mathematics. The Christian God embraces
the truth of non-deterministic free will. Your association of God to a
mathematical proof cannot establish truth.

An Introduction to the Mathematical Theory of WavesShare this page
Roger Knobel
This book is based on an undergraduate course taught at the
IAS/Park City Mathematics Institute (Utah) on linear and nonlinear waves. The
first part
of the text overviews the concept of a wave, describes one-dimensional
waves using functions of two variables, provides an introduction to
partial differential equations, and discusses computer-aided
visualization techniques.
The second part of the book discusses traveling waves, leading to a description of solitary waves and soliton solutions of the Klein-Gordon and Korteweg-deVries equations. The wave equation is derived to model the small vibrations of a taut string, and solutions are constructed via d'Alembert's formula and Fourier series.
The last part of the book discusses waves arising from conservation laws. After deriving and discussing the scalar conservation law, its solution is described using the method of characteristics, leading to the formation of shock and rarefaction waves. Applications of these concepts are then given for models of traffic flow.
The intent of this book is to create a text suitable for independent study by undergraduate students in mathematics, engineering, and science. The content of the book is meant to be self-contained, requiring no special reference material. Access to computer software such as Mathematica®, MATLAB®, or Maple® is recommended, but not necessary. Scripts for MATLAB applications will be available via the Web. Exercises are given within the text to allow further practice with selected topics.
This book is published in cooperation with IAS/Park City Mathematics Institute
Advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and research mathematicians interested in nonlinear PDEs.
Reviews & Endorsements
An interesting first reading on high analysis at an elementary level.
-- European Mathematical Society Newsletter
The book offers a student an excellent introduction to some of the most interesting wave phenomena that have physical significance, and at the same time it also serves to explain some of the deeper mathematical issues that are involved. It can be recommended to all undergraduates who wish to learn something about physics wave phenomena of various types.
-- Mathematical Reviews
The style of this book is not that of a typical textbook. For one, the very short sections (few exceed five pages in length) have a more interactive, conversational flavor rather than the usual "theorem-proof" style of most texts. This is not to say that it lacks in precision; far from it, in fact. Very carefully constructed short exercise lists occur frequently throughout the book and often times, immediately following a discussion of a difficult topic: they are not all collected and placed, out of context, at the end of the chapter. It is the intention that every exercise be completed as part of the journey through the material, and not simply to practice a technique. The problems are all very relevant to the material presented and many challenge the student to extend the theory he or she just learned in a slightly tangential direction. Also, a common theme in the text is to revisit the same problem at several different points in the book and each time investigate it more carefully using the theory just developed. This spiraling approach is very clever, and it instills in the reader a sense of what is going on.
The exposition of the material is very clear. All in all, this book provides a sturdy bridge from a course on ordinary differential equations, and so I would recommend it, without batting an eyelash, to any of my differential equations students who wish to continue their study independently. Further, I feel that it could be very useable as a text for a first course in partial differential equations. Kudos to Roger Knobel on having produced such a well-written and much-needed book!

Panaji: Goa`s Konkani cinema is about to get red hot. After scorching the silver screen with a bare-backed performance in 'Hate Story', Bengali bombshell Paoli Dam will act in a film directed by up-and-coming Goan director Laxmikant Shetgaonkar, says the actress.
"I am in Laxmikant Shetgaonkar`s next film. We discussed the project when I met him in Cannes," the actress said of her 2011 meeting in France with the director, whose first film 'Poltodcho Munis' won critical acclaim when it was released a few years ago.
The Konkani film revolves around Baga beach, one of the popular beaches in Goa, and involves the slices of lives of tourists coming to the beach.
Paoli plays the role of a north Indian tourist coming to Baga, she said Thursday on the eve of the conclusion of the 43rd International Film Festival of India (IFFI) here.
The actress, whose claim to celluloid fame has been a raunchy role with part lesbian action in 'Hate Story', and a nude sequence in another Bengali film, was here to attend the screening of her new film 'Elar Char Adhyay' at the Goa festival.
"I want to be part of films with a difference," she said, adding that she liked the director and the idea and her character in the Konkani film.
A true-blue Bengali, who loves her fish, Paoli confesses that she loves the fish in Goa too. "I love the food here. Just can`t get enough of it," she says.

I think the student is required to take the FYLSE after the first year (or after the first 1 1/2 years, since they're part-tme). If they pass they can continue on to the second year. The CA bar requires the online/unaccredited school to certify that the student has completed something like 864 hours of instruction, divided into specific categories: a certain number of hours in torts, contracts, etc. This is the same requirement for applicants who study with an attorney or in judges' chambers.After that, the requirements are the same as any other applicant: pass the MPRE, positive C&F determination, pass the bar.BTW, the FYLSE is not typically required for students at CA accredited law schools unless they fail classes. Some (maybe all?) CA ABA schools require the FYLSE for re-admission if a student has been academically disqualified. If you look on the Calbar website you'll see a number of students from ABA schools taking the exam, but I don't know if that's required by the Calbar or if certain individual schools make it a requirement for re-admission. Anyone who has more specific info, please feel free to correct me!
I am under the impression the online schools are not state accredited, they are registered with the state. The state accredited law schools are not online.
Quote from: jonlevy on July 16, 2012, 08:34:57 AMI am under the impression the online schools are not state accredited, they are registered with the state. The state accredited law schools are not online.That's exactly right, the California state bar (like the ABA) will not accredit distance learning J.D. programs whether online or correspondance. The online schools have no specific programmatic accreditation, but in the case of Concord I think it has some kind of other distance learning-based accreditation. For the practice of law, however, only two kinds of accreditation matter: ABA or state bar. Unaccredited CA schools are "registered" with the state bar, but that's it. Graduates from CA state accredited (CBE) law schools can, as Cher1300 pointed out, take the bar in other states depending on the state's specific regulations. Sometimes they require 3-5 years practice, sometimes not, it varies. Many states, however, will not admit an online of otherwise unaccredited grad, period. It's one pretty big advantage the CBE schools have over online (along with no FYLSE requirement).
It is a huge difference, but not entirely correct. There are a few states which will allow distance learning graduates to take the state bar, though they may have practice requirements before allowing them to do so. This has been discussed ad nauseam on here - do a search.

Google Gives Gmail More Pluses
Jan 10, 2014 11:42 AM PT
Google on Thursday started rolling out changes designed to further integrate its Gmail and Google+ platforms. The updates make it easier for Google+ users to contact other users without knowing their email addresses.
Going forward, when users with both a Gmail and a Google+ account begin typing a contact's name into an email draft, a list of Google+ contacts will appear along with other contacts. For instance, if a user typed "Michael" into the "To" field while composing an email, Google would suggest, say, three Michaels from email contacts, along with another two from Google+ circles.
Address Protection
The email addresses of those Google+ connections would not be displayed. The user would be able to send an email via Google+ but would not have access to the email addresses until the recipients allowed it by replying to the message.
Users will have control over how many people will be able to email them via Google+. They can extend the ability to just the people they've accepted into their Google+ circles, to those in extended circles -- meaning people with whom they share a mutual connection -- or to any Google+ user. They also can opt out entirely.
The updates will be rolling out over the next few days to Gmail and Google+ users, who will be notified via email when the features are available on their account.
Too Much Access?
Some users might view the updates as an aggressive attempt by Google to drive Google+ adoption, said Thomas Bibby Varghese, CEO and founder of eBizUniverse.
"This opens the door for total strangers to contact you," Varghese told TechNewsWorld. "After trying hard to unseat Facebook from the undisputed No. 1 position as the mass social media network, Google has been desperately trying to force people to join Google+."
The Gmail updates also could provide another way for advertisers to target new consumers, noted Internet marketing expert Brian Carter. Marketing advantages often come hand-in-hand with privacy concerns, however, and this new Gmail feature is no exception.
"There are some marketers who don't view themselves as spammers, but other people see them that way," he told TechNewsWorld.
Google Wins
Google has made efforts to keep consumers' in-boxes free from spam, though, Carter noted. The company recently made changes that give users options to sort their email by primary, social and promotional messages.
With the new feature, emails sent to someone via Google+ from a user within their circles will appear in the primary category. An email from someone outside of circles would show up in the social filter.
"Gmail has done a pretty good job of filtering and categorizing incoming emails," Carter observed. "Some marketers who have already secured opt-in permission to send emails are having trouble reaching those people via Gmail."
Even if marketers do reach those people via Gmail, it's not likely it will spark more than mild annoyance, said Varghese. Users can opt out, or they can simply adjust.
"I'm sure people will be angry about it," he said, "but will people cancel accounts? I don't think so. After some time, we just get used to it."

Welcome to the Cabrillo Music Department.
The music curriculum provides a program for the student who wishes to (1) pursue an advanced degree in music, (2) become a professional musician, (3) prepare for a career in public school teaching, (4) broaden a general knowledge of music, or (5) develop performance skills. Students will be given the theory, keyboard, and sight-reading skills necessary to transfer to a four-year college music curriculum, where they will be expected to pass proficiency exams in each of these areas. Participation in at least one principal performance group is highly recommended for each semester.
Opportunities for other careers in commercial music are found in music publishing, composition, nightclub entertainment, dance bands, backup singing groups, lead singing, recording studios, music sales, music retailing, librarian work, and management. The requisite background for these careers is found in the basic music major curricula plus optional specialized training courses.

LONDON, ENGLAND--(Marketwire - Nov. 22, 2012) -
Editors Note: There is a photo associated with this press release.
Students at Kaplan International Colleges' language school in Portland are improving their English skills by running their very own newspaper.
The Kaplan Times was launched by teacher Sadie Dickman as a fun and innovative way for students to practice their English learning through the writing of articles during class time at the language school in the USA.
What started as an idea for a lesson plan became so popular that it was expanded into a monthly four-page newspaper featuring restaurant reviews, stories about Portland events and advice for new students.
Anyone can participate in The Kaplan Times and contributors are encouraged to write about anything they are interested in. The Times published a recent "literature edition", which was full of student fiction.
"Everyone at the college takes a newspaper when they come out, and the writers are really proud to have their by-lines in the paper! I am so, so proud. The students work so well together, and I get such creative and intelligent articles," said Sadie Dickman.
Kaplan Portland, which expanded earlier this year, offers a range of courses, from Vacation and General English courses to more specialized academic programs that are designed to allow students to structure their ideal learning holiday in the USA.

So Chelsea Does My Reading
You look at my palm.
There you see
a heart line
a head line a life line
a hand opened to you,
enveloping your hand.
Somewhere there is a tree
newly nestled into earth
that will erupt straight
from the ground to the sky.
I know that is cliché.
I know. I know.
But can you tell me
whom I will meet
to finally stub this loneliness
away like a dead cigarette?
hit them over
the head

Baltimore County police on Friday arrested the girlfriend of a Halethorpe man who was found dead in a vacant home in Baltimore last week.
Renee Delores Evans, 50, of the 5600 block of Southwestern Boulevard, is charged in the death of her boyfriend, 49-year-old Brian Michael Reiser.
Police previously charged Kevin Brooks Pendergraph, 31, Roy Bernard Munson, 18, and Eric Patrick Henry, 37 in Reiser's death.
Police have not identified a motive in the killing or how the three other suspects knew Evans or Reiser, a self-employed carpenter.
Reiser's body was found in a vacant home in the 200 block of Collins Ave. in southwest Baltimore, after his mother became concerned and called police on June 19, according to charging documents.
Henry and Munson told detectives how they attacked Reiser inside the bedroom of his home, and cut him with a box cutter on June 17, the document said. Henry told detectives that all three men left in Reiser's 2002 Ford F-250 and returned to his home the next day to dispose of Reiser's body.
Evans does not have criminal record, according to online court records.
Anyone with information on Evans is asked to call police at 410-307-2020.

Three teens charged in the fatal shooting of a western Pennsylvania woman had targeted her, police say, after she told them to "get a job" when they tried to bum a cigarette from her boyfriend.
Beaver Falls police have charged two 14-year-olds and one 13-year-old with criminal homicide and other charges in Saturday's shooting of Kayla Peterson, 22. She was shot at about 3:30 p.m. that day and died at a Pittsburgh hospital two hours later.
Read the original story at NBC10 Philadelphia
The attorney of one of the teens said he was just "in the wrong place at the wrong time" when Velasquez. That teen was identified as the gunman by police and Peterson's boyfriend.
Beaver Falls Police Chief Charles Jones says officers are still searching for the other two teen suspects.

You take a hit and die whenever you want to. There's WWI reenacting, too, which I haven't done but want to try. There's some trenchworks built somewhere in Pennsylvania and it's basically a 48 hour tactical. You can make night attacks, and if you're killed or captured in the enemy trenches "red cross ambulances" will take you back to your own lines so you can do it again.

Mustard & Grey Ivy tee
Added May 9, 2013
London, United K...
I made this new Style Arc "Ivy" teeshirt with leftover mustard viscose from my Drape Drape tee and some additional charcoal grey viscose jersey. I love how it fits snugly throughout the shoulders, bust, and sleeves, but is really "slouchy fit" from the bust down. The curved hemline and angled side seams are really attractive, too!

Wavelink Corp.:Getting by With LessBy Baselinemag | Posted 2003-11-01 Print
Making the management of Wireless networks a bit easier.
"There are a lot of settings that have to be changed and tuned on wireless access points," says Tim Stettheimer, CIO at St. Vincent's Hospital in Birmingham, Ala. Stettheimer's wireless network has grown to 168 access points spread out over nearly a million square feet of hospital and office space. Individually configuring each access point was not realistic. "For one thing, I couldn't come up with enough staff to do that," he says.
Stettheimer and other managers say Wavelink's products allow them to get by with fewer administrators, even as Wi-Fi networks expand.
Guy Ledbetter, help desk manager of Orlando, Fla.,-based retailer ABC Fine Wines & Spirits, dedicates only one of his 11 staffers to oversee the wireless network, which connects 150 stores with ABC's headquarters. For some taskssuch as configuring Palm handheld devices used by store clerks to record product deliveries and report inventory levelsLedbetter would need to walk managers in each store through the process. "That would be a nightmare," he says.
Wavelink products allow managers to monitor whether wireless access points are working, and to scan for rogue access points. Mobile Manager can also be used to remotely configure wireless access points to, for example, recognize new users or new types of client devices. Most important to security-conscious users such as Ledbetter, Mobile Manager can automatically rotate encryption keys to make them harder to hack.
That's not to say customers are completely satisfied. Jim Doellman, director of technical services at Cincinnati Children's Hospital, says Mobile Manager's basic statistical reporting isn't enough. He wants to easily display results on access-point utilization, for example, in formats that hospital managers can understand.
Arkansas State University's Eric Barnett says the university decided against using Avalanche for managing wireless devices because the product is licensed on a per-user basis. "With [10,000] potential users, Avalanche becomes really cost-prohibitive," he says. "It's easy to justify the cost of Mobile Manager which is priced per access point. It's not so easy to justify Avalanche."
ABC Fine Wines & Spirits has expanded its wireless network without adding staff using Wavelink, says guy ledbetter.

Real Reporting Is About Revealing Truth; Not Granting 'Equal Weight' To Bogus Arguments
from the nyt-failures dept
Of course, when the NY Times reported on this, it did the "he said/she said" thing, providing no enlightenment whatsoever to the public who was reading it about whose argument actually was legit, and whose was ridiculous. Reporter Alexandra Alter played the false equivalence card:
Mr. Perlstein, 44, suggested that the attack on his book is partly motivated by conservatives' discomfort with his portrayal of Reagan. Mr. Shirley is president and chief executive of Shirley & Banister Public Affairs, which represents conservative clients like Citizens United and Ann Coulter.As Rosen notes, this is the "easy" way out for a journalist. Actually figuring out who's right takes work, and hell, you might be wrong. So why take the risk:
But Mr. Shirley and his lawyer contend that Mr. Perlstein paraphrased original research without properly giving credit. "The rephrasing of words without proper attribution is still plagiarism," Mr. Shirley said in an interview.
You're safer because you could be wrong if you choose, so why choose? You're safer because even if you're not wrong you can be accused of bias, and who needs that? You're safer because people will always argue about [fill in some bitterly contested narrative here] and you don't want to be a contestant in that. In the middle is safe. Neither/nor is safe. Not having a view of the matter is safe… Right?But, as Rosen notes, thanks to the internet these days, newspapers are increasingly having trouble with this kind of lazy "safe" journalism. Because the public will call them out when they avoid reporting the truth, favoring a false narrative instead. In this case, the NYT's public editor, Margaret Sullivan, (whose job it is to examine whether or not the NY Times is best serving the public) called the paper out for this weak effort in response to complaints from the public. She directly notes the problem of this he said/she said journalism:
By taking it seriously, The Times conferred a legitimacy on the accusation it would not otherwise have had.As Rosen further points out in his blog post, the ability of the public to weigh in may be changing the equation here. The "easy" and "lazy" response of just doing he said/she said journalism won't cut it because you'll get called out on it. Journalism should be about reporting what's true, not just what people say is true. The continued use of he said/she said is actually "reckless behavior that may easily blow up in its face." Rosen even points out that the BBC is now specifically retraining its reporters to stop inserting "false balance" into stories where there's an underlying truth and an attempt to distort it. It seems amazing that this even needs to be repeated, but it's been that way for so long in many publications.
And while it is true that Mr. Perlstein and his publisher were given plenty of opportunity to respond, that doesn't help much. It's as if The Times is saying: "Here's an accusation; here's a denial; and, heck, we don't really know. We're staying out of it." Readers frequently complain to me about this he said, she said false equivalency — and for good reason.
So I'm with the critics. The Times article amplified a damaging accusation of plagiarism without establishing its validity and doing so in a way that is transparent to the reader. The standard has to be higher.
Hopefully, the ability of the public to call it out will make more lazy journalists and editors recognize what used to be the "safe" move is no longer so safe.

Springfield Armory, Inc. M1A Serial Number Chronology
Lee Emerson
Short answer: The collectors choice would be a factory built standard model M1A rifle between serial numbers 0422XX and 063000. You can e-mail me for a complimentary copy of this in .pdf format.
M1A Serial Number(s) Comments
000001 to 003700 Texas era receivers tend to exhibit one or more dimensional flaws as identified by retired M14 gunsmith Art Luppino. Springfield Armory, Inc. in Texas assembled about 2000 complete rifles using USGI parts before it was sold to Bob Reese (Geneseo, IL). An additional 120 rifles were built for Elmer Bal lance by Glenn Nelson and Wayne Young before June 1974 using stripped or barreled receivers supplied by Elmer.
000001 to 063XXX Receivers machined by Valley Ordnance Co. were given a lot of hand grinding and polishing by Melvin Smith. Specifically, these areas were: 1) the exterior heel corners on the sides 2) the flat surface aft of the operating rod channel 3) the top surface of the left receiver wall from the cartridge clip guide to the barrel ring 4) the vertical surface on the right side behind the cartridge clip guide all the way back including the windage knob ear 5) the left side of the barrel ring forward of the horizontal scope mount groove 6) the magazine well aft of the feed lips and 7) the top surface of the barrel ring after all machining operations that located off the barrel ring had been done. This cosmetic detailing is evident as late as M1A serial number 062857 but was no longer being done by serial number 064922. Note that the hand polishing served to enhance the aesthetic appearance but did not add to the functional ability of the M1A receiver. As Melvin Smith moved to semi-retirement the receiver surfaces noted above were finished by machine. For example, the magazine well on M1A receivers was cut and broached by machine tool after Mr. Smith purchased Hillside Manufacturing.
000011 Receiver left side connector lock hole is present.
000049 Receiver left side connector lock hole is missing. Receiver heel rear end wall centerline thickness is ¼ .
000377 Highest observed serial number with 7.62-MM marking on the receiver heel.
000440 Lowest observed serial number with 7.62-mm marking on the receiver heel.
000567 to 000708 Within this serial number range, Valley Ordnance Co. changed the receiver design. The rear end of the M1A receiver bolt right lug slot, located under the rear sight base cover, was extended 0.080 " to the rear to prevent possible damage to the bolt roller.
001XXX to 002XXX Gray-Syracuse, Inc. becomes the casting supplier of M1A receivers.
002010 Receiver left side connector lock hole is still missing.
002068 Receiver left side connector lock hole reappears for good.
002709 Lowest known serial number (stripped receiver) sold by SA, Inc. located in Geneseo, IL.
002877 Highest documented serial number (complete rifle) shipped from Springfield Armory, Inc. in Texas.
002884 Receiver heel rear end wall centerline thickness is 5/16 . Serial numbers after this have noticeably less steel cut away in the bolt raceways after of the cartridge clip guide.
002884 to 010048 At some point in this serial number range, the receiver design was changed to incorporate a hemispherical cut in the windage knob ear outboard side (commercial NM rear sight).
002903 Lowest documented serial number (complete rifle) shipped from Springfield Armory, Inc. in Illinois.
003306 Highest documented serial number (stripped receiver) shipped from Springfield Armory, Inc. in Texas.
003700 Highest documented serial number for receiver production while Springfield Armory, Inc. was located in Texas. Valley Ordnance Co. resumed receiver production on September 21, 1974 at serial number 003701. Springfield Armory, Inc. in Texas was sold around November 01, 1974 to Bob Reese in Illinois. During July and August 1974, Valley Ordnance was completing 75 receivers per week. Based on this output, the highest receiver serial number while Springfield Armory, Inc. was located in Texas is estimated at about 004075.
004357 to 004379 January 01, 1976: In this serial number range, a factory one year limited warranty is in force after the initial purchase of a rifle.
007XXX to 020XXX SOME receivers made from AISI 4140 alloy steel. The elevation serrations wear prematurely but can be repaired using an elevation disk. These receivers are serviceable, no other issues reported.
007XXX to 037XXX Springfield Armory, Inc. does not have USGI chromium plated barrels for assembly of complete rifles. Factory installed barrels in this serial number range will be commercial manufacture but machined by Hillside Manufacturing (Dallas, PA) using Wilson Arms blanks.
007041 A commercial unlined standard profile barrel and a commercial operating rod used to build standard model M1A.
0093XX A commercial unlined standard profile barrel, a commercial bolt and a commercial operating rod are used in the assembly of this standard model M1A. Hillside Manufacturing machined reproduction operating rods, trigger housings, flash suppressors, bolts, operating rod spring guides and barrels. No gas cylinders were made by Hillside Manufacturing or Valley Ordnance. It has not been confirmed but most likely the trigger housing and flash suppressor castings for M1A parts were also produced by Gray-Syracuse, Inc. since Mr. Smith was loyal to his suppliers. Valley Ordnance did the finish machining on cast semi-finished cartridge clip guides supplied to the firm. The reproduction bolts, operating rods and trigger housings were stamped at Valley Ordnance. The operating rod spring guides were made from plate steel using a punch press with progressive dies. The operating rods were supplied to Hillside Manufacturing already welded together. Hillside Manufacturing machined the operating rods to final dimension.
017XXX to 020XXX The 18 barreled M1A models first appear.
030061 Receiver heel rear end wall centerline thickness is 3/8 .
0343XX Highest observed serial number with receiver bottom side right hand ridge.
038XXX About this time, large quantities of USGI M14 parts are imported into the United States and become available on the surplus market. Springfield Armory, Inc. and other firearms related businesses buy large quantities of these USGI parts.
038770 Highest observed factory built select fire model
040XXX Receiver was redesigned to move the barrel chamber slightly forward to increase bolt lock up time.
042201 Lowest observed serial number without the receiver bottom side right hand ridge. The bottom side ridge was removed from the design as part of the changes made for economic reasons. It meant two less machining cuts but it also had the benefit of a better fit with various makes of stocks.
042201 to 063000 This is the serial number range that I refer to as the Golden Age of the M1A. The receiver design had fully matured by this time. The receivers were hand finished by the original designer and master craftsman, Melvin Smith. Springfield Armory, Inc. was awash in USGI parts during this period. Thus, factory built standard model M1A rifles in this serial number range were built with a very high USGI parts count.
0630XX 7.62mm caliber marking is on the receiver heel.
063112 7.62mm caliber marking no longer appears on the receiver heel.
064872 Rear lugged receivers are now available from the factory.
070005 to 072074 January 01, 1993: In this serial number range, a lifetime limited warranty is now in effect for the original buyer of a factory built rifle.
07157X to 075XXX Factory shipping boxes change from green and white to blue and white.
072XXX to 073XXX By this serial number range, the operating rod rail dimensions have been narrowed for a tighter fit with the operating rod tab.
0748XX Late version SA, Inc. commercial manufacture operating rod now used to assemble complete rifles.
081004 Built at the factory with the following USGI parts: TRW trigger housing, HR-N hammer, TRW bolt, Winchester barrel, and WCE USGI rear sight elevation and windage knobs.

PLC programming: Link AS-I safety to ControlLogix for free
Pepperl+Fuchs introduces the Diagnostics Add-On Instruction for Allen-Bradley CompactLogix and ControlLogix controllers. With this free download, PLC programmers can retrieve detailed diagnostic data from an AS-Interface safety monitor with just three instructions.
AS-Interface safety monitors are configurable to perform complex logic and timing operations and replace hardwired conventional safety controllers. "Pepperl+Fuchs developed this add-on software to further simplify the already flexible and powerful AS-Interface Safety at Work technology, said Tim Cicerchi, product manager, industrial bus and ID systems.
"Additionally, because we want every AS-Interface user to have the best experience possible, this add-on Instruction is compatible with competitive AS-Interface Safety at Work SafetyMonitors, not just Pepperl+Fuchs SafetyMonitors ," Cicerchi said.
AS-Interface Safety at Work is an integral part of a normal AS-Interface network and does not require a separate system. It enables safety data to run over the same physical network as other data. With it, the user gains the ability to: place safety where needed, even late in the project; monitor the status of the safety inputs and the safety relay; associate multiple safety inputs with one relay; and associate one input with multiple relays.

Love and Loss
in an Era

Over 5,000 Americans have died fighting in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. And, over the past 12 years, more than 2,000 soldiers have committed suicide
One military family experienced both of those horrors � losing one son in combat and one to suicide. Journalist Yochi Dreazen's new book, The Invisible Front:

In addition to linebacker Anthony Bar, who is expected to be selected in the first round Thursday, here are UCLA Bruins who could hear their names called at the NFL draft:
Position: Offensive lineman
Size: 6-4, 307
Expected to go: Low 1st-2nd round
Scouts say: "He should only get stronger once he lands in an NFL weight program, so there is very little on paper holding him back from becoming an upper-echelon guard in the NFL." — Chris Burke, Sports Illustrated
Position: Linebacker
Size: 6-4, 235
Expected to go: 3rd-5th round
Scouts say: "He projects as a versatile reserve player who is able to wear several hats in various schemes, but will need to cut his teeth on special teams to keep a roster spot." — Dane Brugler, CBS Sports
Position: Defensive end
Size: 6-4, 252
Expected to go: 4th-6th round
Scouts say: "Very active, high-motor, steady, consistent producer. Lacks ideal bulk for the inside and speed to work the edges." — Nolan Nawrocki, NFL.com
Position: Wide receiver
Size: 6-1, 213
Expected to go: 4th-6th round
Scouts say: "Evans reminds me a bit of Golden Tate when he came out of Notre Dame — both as an enticing pure athlete, and as a player who needs some development. He has a good embryonic sense of how to get open, but he's not a reliable target at all times." — Doug Farrar, Sports Illustrated

Filter Announce Summer 2012 Tour Dates
Filter have expanded their summer tour, adding several new dates (listed below.) The band entered the studio in April with producer Bob Marlette to record their fifth studio album 'Gurney and the Burning Books.' It is due to be released sometime later this year.
In a recent interview with All Knowing Force, frontman Richard Patrick discussed the upcoming album. "We have this beautiful record that starts off heavy and mean and then it goes back to the more moody, almost joyful parts of life. For me, the record that we always try to model is the 'Title of Record' era, that sets the standard in how heavy and how light we can go."
He continued, saying, "We just aspire to make the songs as good and I think the songwriting is superior, we just have to make sure the performances are as desperate and powerful as those crazy takes I did when I was kid."
Patrick is the lone original member of Filter, and there have been some member changes since 2010's 'The Trouble With Angels' was released. The current lineup includes guitarist Jonny Radtke, bassist Phil Buckman and drummer Jeff Friedl.
Meanwhile, former Filter guitarist Geno Lenardo has teamed up with Disturbed's David Draiman for an industrial project called Device.

When shooting reality television, many challenges come into play for everyone involved, producers, DP's, audio; and it is important for everyone to work together to face these challenges. Audio has their own set of challenges when shooting reality, and as a DP I know how difficult these challenges can be and how much they affect the whole production. For starters you need to have a good A1. Without an experienced person, all the technology in the world can't save you from an audio disast...

I've worked in the motion imaging production business for over 20 years and I've never seen anything like the audio mixer bag from Orca Bags. The bag has a nice clean exterior presentation and comes in black with blue trim. But the trim isn't a window dressing it's actually an aluminum frame to maintain the shape of the bag. This means it will keep the same shape after years of field use and protect its' precious cargo as well. (Let's be honest, this is something we have all wan...

This week's Fun from Randy Seaver over at Genea-Musings is to find our "most recent unknown ancestor" (MRUA) defined as the individual with the lowest number in our Pedigree Chart or Ahnentafel List who lacks either a first name or surname. We're then asked to think about what might be in our research files for this person, what we've looked at recently, what we might have missed, and what resources (on- or off-line) might help us.
I found this a really useful exercise for a family that's been one of my most challenging to research. I knew before going into this which branch I was going to land on for this challenge - the only thing I wasn't certain about was which individual specifically would be the MRUA. My father's maternal line is the one where I have the least information and the most holes. But they're also the line in which I derive the most satisfaction when I find any clues at all (much less any solid connections).
I've written about the McCormicks over the years, and some of the challenges I've had with them. In reviewing my Ahnentafel List, the most recent unknown ancestor is number 40 - the father of my great-great grandfather Thomas McCormick.
Thomas Joseph McCormick was born in Ireland, 1847. The 1900 census gives his year of immigration to the United States as 1865, though since the 1900 census is also off on his age by three years, I take this as a ballpark date. Thomas McCormick died in Maine, Sept. 1905, presumably while on business as the superintendent of an Albany, New York paper mill. I've traced his residences in the United States from Albany, NY, to Berlin, NH, to Norwich, CT - with census and city directories for the locales indicating he was employed in paper mills.
Thomas was married to Margaret Gilligan, born 18 Jan 1851, also in Ireland, and who, according to the 1900 census entered the US in 1860. Thomas and Margaret had 7 children, all born in Connecticut between the years 1874 and 1888, six living to adulthood. I have yet to identify Thomas (or Margaret) on any passenger lists, and since the earliest I place him in the US is in Connecticut, 1874, am not exactly sure where he would have entered this country - either New York or Boston, I'm guessing. I have not yet located any marriage records for Thomas and Margaret.
So where to go from here? I need to learn more about Thomas before figuring out who his father was. I have a fair amount of raw data on various McCormick families living in the Norwich, Connecticut area from 1882-1900. I need to analyze the family groups, many of whom have the male names Thomas, Joseph, and Daniel, and who were working at the paper mill, to try and determine any possible familial relationships. Also, Thomas and Margaret's daughter, Maggie, died in Sprague, Norwich County, Connecticut in 1880 - tracing any church records relating to her life and death may yield more details about the family. I also want to find any naturalization records for Thomas (1900 census indicates he was naturalized). I recently found more details about the family during their stay in Berlin, Coos County, New Hampshire, including the marriage of their daughter Catherine to William McCann - there may be more details there to uncover.
Essentially, I need to better analyze the data I have, look into finding church records, and research other family groups living near the McCormicks, particularly in Nowich County, Connecticut.

You may not be aware, for example, that Israel conspired with the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood in 1987 to create Hamas. Israel also armed Hamas. It wanted an alternative to the PLO [Palestine Liberation Organization]. The first Intifada began in 1987. It was primarily nonviolent on the part of Palestinians (not Israelis). Israel arrested or deported most of the nonviolent leaders while allowing Sheikh [Ahmad] Yassin, Hamas's spiritual leader, to distribute anti-Jewish hate literature calling for the violent overthrow of the Zionist government. It is far easier for Israel to portray the Palestinians as psychotic killers in order to divert the world's attention from its strategy of land theft and ethnic cleansing and thereby deceive the world into believing the Israeli army is merely defending itself than it is to justify land theft and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians when their resistance is nonviolent.

We've been following the goings on in Copenhagen – watching for bikes, following KK+ – and today stories from Reuters, LA Times, and The Independent realize that "bikes are a good solution for the climate, the economy and the poor." Or even simpler, "Biking is just the easiest way to get around here."
Photo: uploaded by KK+
Bicycle-friendly Copenhagen a model for big cities
The world is gathered in Copenhagen for the U.N. climate summit, but Denmark"s bicycle-friendly capital has also given its name to a movement of cities trying to find a kinder way to commute.
Many cities around the world, including some in the U.S., are putting the focus on bicycles for short trips. And they're making it happen. Shouldn't Los Angeles go with the flow?
On your bike: What the world can learn about cycling from Copenhagen
If the world's grandees pay close attention when they land in Copenhagen for December's UN climate-change conference, they might just find the eco solutions they need under their feet, says Robin Barton
