It's hard to know what sort of approach to take with entertainment events in the face of a national tragedy. Do you acknowledge it? Ignore it? Should the show always go on? In the case of Quentin Tarantino's uber-violent Django Unchained, I think the studio made a very smart decision by canceling the movie's star-studded red carpet premiere that was planned for Tuesday.
While the film's splashy LA premiere has been downgraded to a private event with no media coverage, some are still criticizing the film's planned release date: Django Unchained is set to hit theaters on Christmas Day.
Not only that, but there's controversy behind the scenes, with the movie's star and director at public odds over the role violent movies play in events like the school shooting in Newtown last week.
Jamie Foxx, who stars in the film, spoke out this weekend about his concern over violence in entertainment content:
We cannot turn our back and say that violence in films or anything that we do doesn't have a sort of influence. It does.
Quentin Tarantino, as you might imagine, had a slightly different take:
I just think you know there's violence in the world, tragedies happen, blame the playmakers. It's a western. Give me a break.
Whoever you side with in this particular debate, it seems like canceling the glitzy premiere was the best move the studio could have made. A big Hollywood event glorifying a movie chock-full of gun violence ... it's just not the right time.
The studio behind Tom Cruise's upcoming movie Jack Reacher (which reportedly opens with a sniper shooting several people) must've reached the same conclusion, because they also scaled back their premiere plans, out of what Paramount described as "honor and respect for the families of the victims."
The show does go on, obviously, and the entertainment industry has reacted in ways that have been both extremely classy (the Saturday Night Live "Silent Night" cold open) and extremely awkward (Survivor's brief moment of silence for the Newtown victims before the reunion show, which made everything about the idea of contestants "surviving" a month on a game show seem petty and ridiculous).
For movies and shows that include a lot of gun violence, some may say they should be cancelled altogether. My feeling is that's unrealistic, but canceling the planned premieres -- those events intended to drum up publicity and boost audience numbers -- was the right choice.
As for Mr. Tarantino, well, I've always been a fan of his films ... but maybe he should go ahead and shut his toe-licker shut for a little while. "Give me a break," indeed.
What do you think about Quentin Tarantino's comment? Did it come across as insensitive, or is he just stating the obvious?

In the early 1970s, King underwent two abortions, which later led her to become active in the pro-life movement. [3] She also opposes gay rights, citing the ex-gay movement: "I have met many ex-homosexuals just as I have met many ex-husbands, ex-wives, ex-drug addicts and ex-lawyers. Yet I have never met an ex-Negro, ex-Caucasian or ex-Native American."[4] She has six children and has been divorced three times.
King is the founder of faith-based organization King for America, Inc.[5] She is the author of several books, including Sons of Thunder: The King Family Legacy, I Don't Want Your Man, I Want My Own and The Arab Heart.

Hi all,
I live in Tucson, Arizona and I hike year round in Keen hiking sandals. However, I am traveling to Chile and Argentina to trek around TdP and Patagonia for about 3 weeks, and I just don't think my Keens will cut it.
I am wondering if there are any great pairs of boots out there that could serve me well for both summer hiking but would also work well for mountaineering as I am a full time university student and my funding is a bit limited.
I am considering the La Sportiva Karakorum and the Salewa Rapace Mountaineering Boots, but I'm not sure if a hiking boot might be a better solution for me. I don't plan on doing much technical ice climbing, so I'm not sure exactly how aggressive of a boot I need. I am not sure that I even need a mountaineering boot.
If a hiking boot is a better solution, do any of you have any suggestions on good hiking boots that could serve me well in ice conditions (insulation, waterproof, etc)? I am also wondering how well crampons work with hiking boots. I was under the impression from a technical mountaineering course that I took that a rigid mountaineering boot is an absolute for ice travel, but I've been hearing vague stories of people using hiking shoes and crampons. Is this true?
I appreciate any advice and suggestions! Thanks.

AC Milan insist they will not be selling Stephan El Shaarawy any time soon, despite rumours of Manchester United's interest in the 19-year-old.
Reports in Italy revealed this morning that United had sent scouts to run the rule over the Italian international who has started the new Serie A season on fire, bagging four goals in six games.
El Shaaraway has been earmarked as one of the best young talents in Italy and was recently hailed as the man to take over from Zlatan Ibramihovic - who recently left the San Siro for Paris Saint-Germain – as the club's leading goal scoring threat.
Despite his knack of finding the back of the net, El Shaarawy operates mainly as an advanced midfield player, and can also be deployed in a more orthodox midfield position, something that is said to be attracting Manchester United.
However Milan vice president Adriano Galliani has moved to dismiss claims the talented youngster could be departing for Old Trafford in January, even if Manchester United have 'fallen in love' with him.
El Shaarawy is an investment for this club and we are very happy with him," Galliani told Sky Sport Italia.
"Manchester United have fallen in love with him? Our policy is to focus on youngsters and he won't be moving from here."
The 19-year-old only arrived at the San Siro last summer but has already made a considerable impact, and made his debut for Italy against England earlier this year.

If lung cancer is localized and has not spread beyond the original site, surgical removal of the cancer is the most common treatment. The goal is to remove as much of the cancer as possible while keeping as much lung tissue and function as possible. Chemo- and/or radiation therapy may be used before the surgery to shrink the tumor or after to try to kill off any remaining cancer cells after surgery.
Surgical removal is not always an option since most lung cancers are found in advanced stages. In this case, surgery may be done to relieve symptoms.
Surgery for Early Stage Lung Cancer
Surgery can be a cure for stage 0 and other early stages of lung cancer in those who have small cell lung cancer.
A thoracotomy is a surgical method for opening the chest wall in order to access the lungs. An incision is made along the back in a C-shaped manner, and the chest wall is opened. This give access to the lungs and other structures, including lymph nodes, which can be removed during a procedure.
Options for lung cancer surgery include:
- Wedge resection—A section in the shape of a triangle is cut from lung tissue. A margin of healthy tissue around the tumor will also be removed.
- Segmental resection—Similar to a wedge resection, but a larger section of lung tissue is removed.
- Lobectomy —The lung is sectioned into lobes that connect to one another. If cancer is contained to one of these sections, the entire lobe can be removed.
- Sleeve resection—Part of the airway is removed. After removal, the lung is reattached.
- Pneumonectomy—Removal of the entire lung. This may be an option if cancer is in more than one lobe and in contained one lung.
Palliative Procedures for Advanced Lung Cancer
A number of minor procedures can help relieve symptoms and improve quality of life. As cancer grows, it affects the body's ability to function properly. In the case of lung cancer, tumors cause problems that can can interfere with breathing. Procedures to relieve symptoms may include:
- Thoracentesis—A needle is inserted into the pleural space outside of the lungs to draw out excess fluid.
- Pleurodesis—A substance is placed in the pleural space that surrounds the lungs. The substance causes the 2 pleural layers to stick together, eliminating the space between them.
- Pericardiocentesis—A needle is inserted into the pericardium, the protective sac that surrounds the heart. Excess fluid is drawn out and removed.
- Pericardial window—A piece of the pericardium is take out. The fluid drains into the chest or abdomen.
- Chest catheter—A catheter can be placed into the chest. The tube attaches to a device and fluid drains into it. These can also be placed during one of the surgical procedures mentioned in the previous section.
- Photodynamic therapy—Light-sensitive molecules are injected into the bloodstream. These molecules are absorbed by cells throughout the body, but tend to remain longest in cancer cells. When these molecules are exposed to a special light, they cause cell damage and death. The light will be directed to the tumor using an bronchoscope. It is useful for lung cancer in its earliest stages. PDT can also be helpful when tumors affect breathing. In this case, it will help ease breathing.
- Laser therapy—A special light source is use to core out an area where tumors are blocking the airway. This can be done when other treatment methods are not an option.
- Stent—If a tumor is blocking the airway, a metal stent can be placed during surgery or a bronchoscopy to keep it open.

The rate of child injury from falling televisions has increased by 95% over the past 22 years, researchers found.
From 1990 to 2011, the average annual injury rate attributable to televisions in children was 2.43 per 10,000 children younger than 18, according to Gary Smith, MD, of the Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, and colleagues.
Among children younger than 5, the number of injuries related to falling televisions increased by 125.5% over the 22 years, equivalent to an overall rate increase of 95.3%, they wrote online in the journal Pediatrics.
Prior research on this topic has shown that pediatric injuries stemming from televisions tipping over have gone up recently, with children ages 4 and younger at highest risk for injury.
The authors studied the epidemiology of television-related injuries though 380,885 reports from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System from children reporting to an emergency department for such an injury from 1990 to 2011.
The surveillance report included data on age, gender, injury diagnosis, injured body region, products involved, location of the injury, disposition from the emergency department, and circumstances related to the injury.
Based on injury circumstances, injuries were categorized as a television fall, patient striking a television, injury while moving a television, or other. These narratives also included furniture which was used to support the television, such as a dresser, entertainment center, shelf, table, cabinet, wall mount, or other support.
Televisions were also categorized as being 27 inches and larger or 26 inches and smaller.
Injury codes included laceration, contusion, soft tissue injury, fracture, strain, and other -- which included shocks, burns, dislocations, and dental injuries.
Mean patient age was 4.7, and children younger than 5 represented 64.3% of injured patients, while children ages 5 to 10 24.3% and those ages 11 to 17 made up 11.4% of injuries. Most of the children injured were male (60.8%).
Television-based injuries were mostly consistent over the study period.
Television falls were the most common type of injury, accounting for more than half of all injuries (52.5%), followed by striking a television (38.1%).
Falling television injuries increased significantly over the study period, from 0.85 per 10,000 children in 1990 to 1.66 per 10,000 children in 2011 (P<0.001).
Injuries from striking a television decreased significantly over the 22-year period by 71.9% from 1.53 injuries per 10,000 children in 1990 to 0.43 injuries per 10,000 children in 2011.
The rate of injuries associated with a TV falling from a dresser, bureau, chest of drawers, or armoire rose by a significant 344.1% during the study period, the authors noted.
"Despite the relatively low documentation ... of the type of furniture on which falling TVs were placed, the frequency of dressers/ bureaus/chests of drawers/armoires being used to support TVs (almost half of the cases in this study) is alarming," they wrote. "As noted in previous studies, children may pull dresser drawers open to use as stairs to help them reach the TV, potentially pulling both the dresser and TV over onto themselves."
Children were most commonly injured in the head and neck (63.3%), followed by the lower extremities (21.5%). Head and neck injuries were associated with a 36% increased likelihood of hospital admission (95% CI 1.03-1.80) compared with other areas of bodily injury.
Children younger than 5 were 36% more likely to receive a head or neck injury and 22% more likely to be injured by a falling television.
Over two thirds of injuries were lacerations or soft tissue injuries (36.7% and 35.1%, respectively), though few injuries required hospital admission or less-than-24-hour observation (2.6%).
The authors attributed the increased number of television fall injuries to the rising number of televisions in homes, though they cautioned that if that were the only cause of such injuries that injuries from striking a television would have also risen instead of going down.
"The disparity between injury rates associated with falling televisions and striking a television is provocative, especially given the more serious outcomes associated with falling televisions," they wrote, adding that the location of television placement may account for the differences in injury rates, as has the decline of cathode tube televisions for flat screen technologies.
The authors noted that their study was limited by potential underestimates of television-related injuries, absent data on fatalities, inconsistent amounts of details in recorded data, biases in descriptive data, and missing data on types of televisions responsible for injuries.
The study was supported by the Ohio State University College of Medicine.
The authors declared no conflicts of interest.

On Deck: Collin Gee
Age: 17
Hometown: Houston TX, AKA Screwston.
Years Riding: 3 1/2 years.
Stance: Goofy
Sponsors: Anarchy, Helium, Lucky Devil Designs, & Defiant Wakeskates.
Favorite Spot: The Dirty Bayou in Northeast Houston… simply amazing.
Boat or PWC?: I always enjoy a boat session, but PWC is where it's at.
Cable or Winch?: Winching.
Wake or Rails?: Rails.
Film or Photos?: They're both so beautiful, but I would have to say film for sure.
Skateboard or Surf?: Skateboard.
Home or Away?: I like checking out new spots in different places, so away no doubt.
Paper or Plastic?: I'm all about that Paper.
Metal or Rap?: That's not even a real question, I'm a rapper myself, so rap.
Country or Reggae?: I love Reggae music.
Collin Gee is an eighteen-year-old shredder out of Houston, Texas, whose name you need to remember. This dude is down to make stuff happen and it will always be with a smile on his face. Collin is an all around positive dude with an amazing eagerness to be on the water at all times. I first met him at last year's Toe Jam stop in Texas, and was right away stoked on how funny he is and the great vibes he constantly pumps into the atmosphere — not to mention his wakeskating is right on the money. If I could say one thing about Collin's riding right now, it would be "potential," but that is definitely not to say that Collin isn't already shredding his heart out. It should come as no surprise to any one riding with him to see reentry varials, flats frontside flips, and his newly acquired 360 flip. Luckily for us Collin isn't the kind of guy to just go out and learn all his flip tricks and forget the rest; this dude's style is one of the "pop, catch, stomp" mentality. He is easily one of the most stylish riders I've seen, even among the top pros. Collin just went on his first winch trip ever, filming among the likes of Nick Taylor and Clint Tompkins for the upcoming film, Fun Boots! His first time ever winching he was stomping shoves down a five-footer. Not to mention he was a good sport for letting us pick on him the whole week. Collin is blowing up and making a name for himself in Texas, but even that state isn't big enough to hold this kid back! — David Hanson

Springtime in North Georgia sees many motorcycle riders, up on 400, weaving in between trailers and motor homes as the bright southern sun breaks through the clouds. It's the first time most have had their bikes out in months, and they can't wait to get out there, much to the chagrin of the local police, who now have instituted a zero tolerance policy regarding motorcycles. If you go even one mile above the speed limit you will get pulled over and likely go to jail until the judge can make time for you to make you do time, and he better not be able to see your tattoos when he does.
I have no plans to go fast here or anywhere, and I am still dreaming some Harley dreams even though I am today bouncing along on a dual sport machine, my first. With its high fenders and knobby tires, sporty lines crossing its navy blue chassis, I feel like a 14 year old boy. Even though I have been riding for a few months now, I only just got the concept of rolling off the throttle. You don't just open it, you close it too. roll on the throttle, roll off it. go, don't go. It's like that. this is the missing link that had me lurching long into my advanced beginner status. Maybe I am intermediate now, that I have figured this out.
It's blazing hot outside but that won't last long. This heat is a temporary fix, burning the water off the roads in steamy lines. I couldn't tell you where I found the faith to ride in the unpredictable chaos of early March here. The seasons fight for dominance as they change, one unable to let go, the other coming on too soon for comfort. I understand the need for churches and houses of worship that sit astride each other in neat rows, as people here go to god for help with the weather. Is there a tornado coming? God only knows.
I am riding now in a new state, yet another life that is a repeat of an old one. I come home to Georgia as I come home to California as I come home to London as I come home to everywhere I have been every night. To me motorcycling makes sense because I want to stay in motion, all my things with me, cleverly stored and concealed, packed up and moveable, going strong.

GIARRACCA, Norma. The tragedy of development: disputes over natural resources in Argentina.Translated byMarta Inés Merajver. Sociedad (B. Aires) [online]. 2007, vol.3Selected edition, pp. 0-0. ISSN 0327-7712.
This article deals with the problem of development based on the production of natural resources which in recent years has increased substantially in Latin America. This is a trend which includes de case of Argentina where large petroleum, mining and agribusiness corporations have become some of the main economic actors of the country. What are the consequences of this type of "development" when the main objetives of these corporations is to exploit these natural resources which on the whole were preserved in our countries of the "periphery" while they were depredated in the countries of the "centre"? More then 80% of the natural resources available at present in the world for the future of humanity are localized in territories pertaining to peasant and indigenous communities and, in large measure, in Latin America. In this paper several case studies are considered: the expansion of mining, forestry related to the paper pulp industry and agribusiness. The condiciones in which these activities are expanded and the resistances and disputes developed by the populations that tend for the care of nature and the environment are considered. Finally, some reflexiones in which a critique of the concept of development based on techno-science and the activities of these large corporations as some of their fundamental supports is presented.
Keywords : Natural resoucers; Social Movements; critique of development; Territories in dispute.

Your Up North Wedding
1. Just because you're having a beach wedding doesn't mean you can't walk down an aisle. Create one in the sand by lining the path to the altar with stiff-stemmed, hardy summer flowers.

The farmer said yes, and they all lived happily ever after. Photo by Studio b Photography

Some editors do not have the same respect for the photograph as they have for the written word and have been the problem behind a series of ethical mistakes.
This column appeared in the July 2010 issue of News Photographer Magazine.
By John Long
Lately, there has been a string of digitally altered and faked images appearing in publications of various levels of credibility, from National Geographic to a Sunday weekly subscription paper. In every case, it was not the photojournalist who was the culprit; it was an editor. Most National Press Photographers Association members seem to have gotten the message that professional photojournalists do not change the content of their images. But the undereducated, inexperienced, or just plain arrogant dilettantes who run publications sometimes seem to have little respect for our work or the commitment to ethical ideals that informs it.
National Geographic published a photograph in its February 2010 "Your Shot" section in which editors claimed they were deceived by an amateur who submitted a picture of a dog with fighter jets flying overhead. National Geographic was only doing what newspapers have been doing for some years, asking readers to submit their photographs for the joy of having them published. And getting inexpensive, often free content as part of the bargain.
The problem is that the editor handling the images has no way of vetting them beyond asking the photographer if the image is accurate. If a newspaper staff photographer hands in a photograph that is a fake, you can fire him or her. The same is true for a magazine photographer on assignment. Generally speaking, editors want to see RAW files or "near frames" to insure the authenticity of the images. But you can't fire someone who does not work for you. When I was editing I always worried I was being had, but I just held my breath and ran the photograph. Geographic has apologized profusely.
More insidious than being duped is dealing with the Philistines who are the classic man-of-one-book newspaper editors. One of the problems is that the economic reality of today has reduced the number of picture editors with experience and judgment to a handful. My former newspaper had five picture editors; now it has one. How can you guard the henhouse when the guards are all gone?
Here are just a few examples, all from the past couple of weeks:
Outside magazine ran a cover photograph of Lance Armstrong and on his T-shirt they Photoshopped in "38, B.F.D.," which was a reference to his age and wondering if his age really was a B.F.D. for him that might mark the beginning of the end of his career. Armstrong responded to Outside on Twitter: "Just saw the cover of the new Outside mag w/ yours truly on it. Nice photoshop on a plain t-shirt guys. That's some lame bullshit." Their response was typical of some editors' Morlock mentality (as in The Time Machine by H. G. Wells): "We understand that our July newsstand cover, featuring Lance Armstrong, has caused a bit of a ruckus. (Thanks, Twitter!). Yes, it's true that, following our cover shoot with Lance, we had some Photoshop fun on the T-shirt he was wearing. BFD. We cop to it right there on the cover – see the line reading, 'Note: Not Armstrong's real T-shirt.' We wanted to create a provocative image and make a bold statement about the fact that, because of Armstrong's age, many cycling fans are skeptical of his chances in this year's Tour de France. – The Editors." For 20 years my response to this type of reasoning has been quite like Armstrong's – "That's some lame bullshit." No amount of captioning excuses a visual lie. A lie is a lie.
The Beacon, "a Sunday weekly subscription paper" (whatever that is), concocted a photograph to go with a story on a zoning meeting concerning the expansion of a mosque. Here is how the editor dealt with the criticism according to a story by Hatcher Hurd on NorthFulton.com.
"Trouble is, the photo was a fake. Beacon Publisher John Fredericks, however, said the photo was never intended to be taken at face value. He said it was an illustration of some of the 'controversial' elements that arose during what was a calm and civil meeting.
"'It was certainly not a photograph. For our Beacon readers, our covers are a creative depiction. Consistent readers know our responsibly provocative covers. They are part of our signature and consistent with what we do,' Fredericks said.
"'We stand by our story, and we stand by the cover which is merely a depiction of the [meeting],' he said."
This is a clear case of a lack of respect for photojournalism and the veracity of the photojournalistic image.
Finally, New York magazine ran a real-looking (but quite fake) photograph of a Bernie Madoff look-alike lounging on a prison cell bed. They called it an illustration. However, just calling something an illustration does not negate the fact that the image itself is a visual lie. It deceives the public. Even though New York magazine is an artsy kind of publication, it is wrong and New York magazine should know better.
In the article there is a quote from Madoff: "Madoff stopped smiling and got angry. 'Fuck my victims,' he said, loud enough for other inmates to hear. 'I carried them for 20 years, and now I'm doing 150 years.'"
Since they made up the photograph, how do I as a reader know this quote is accurate? It is a damning quote but since they lied with the photograph how can we trust the credibility of the quote? The same applies to The Beacon's story.
If it looks real, in the context of news, it has to be real. Accuracy is the basic premise of all photojournalism. The public expects the news photographs they see to be exactly what the photographer saw and photographed at the time of the event. No excuses, period.
We are pleased to announce that Steven L. Raymer and Sean D. Elliot have joined NPPA's Ethics Committee. Raymer is Professor of Journalism at Indiana University, has been a staff photographer at National Geographic magazine for more than 20 years, and was named the NPPA-University of Missouri Pictures of the Year Magazine Photographer of the Year in 1976. Elliot is the chief photographer for The Day in New London, CT, and NPPA's vice president. Both are tireless advocates for honesty and integrity in our profession and are most welcome additions to the committee.

Fr John Main OSB, "Letter Ten, December 18, 1979," LETTERS FROM THE HEART(New York: Crossroad, 1988), pp. 119-20.
Christmas is a feast that can open the hearts of all of us to the presence of Christ. It puts before us the great qualities of innocence and hope that we need if we are to awaken to his light, and it fills us with confidence because it tells us that the old age has ended. The new age, indeed the new creation, has begun and our point of departure for finding it everywhere is finding it a reality in our heart.
Our journey is, then, one to our own hearts. Because all of us are invited to enter this temple and receive this newness of life, we have to recognize this time as a moment to put off everything that prevents us from embracing the mystery of our own creation and entering into the fullness of life we receive as pure gift in the father's eternal act of creation.
The importance of the teaching of the Incarnation is that the mystery of God in his eternal creativity is not only brought closer to us but really united to us. We no longer need to objectify the mystery that has taken up his dwelling in our hearts of flesh. We now know that our awakening to his reality is an imminent possibility for each of us because the awakening is an incarnate encounter. The joyfulness to which this feast should recall us is that this awakening is not the result of our own power. We are no longer isolated in a dependency on our own inadequate resources. It is not our own power of wisdom that leads us but his love that is present as the light of the supreme reality in our hearts. The humility of the child Jesus is our guide and teacher. In his Light we have Light. In his Love we have Love. In his Truth we are made Truthful.
It is a feast full of wonder and full of hope for all of us, whoever or wherever we are. It is a new dawn for all humankind, one that begins with a faint but certain glow whose strengthening light steady transforms the sky and earth and grows in brilliance until perfect day.
Meditate for Thirty Minutes.... Remember: Sit down. Sit still and upright. Close your eyes lightly. Sit relaxed but alert. Silently, interiorly, begin to say a single word. We recommend the prayer-phrase "Maranatha." Recite it as four syllables of equal length. Listen to it as you say it, gently, but continuously. Do not think or imagine anything—spiritual or otherwise. Thoughts and images will likely come, but let them pass. Just keep returning your attention—with humility and simplicity—to saying your word in faith, from the beginning to the end of your meditation.
After Meditation, from Julian of Norwich, DAILY READINGS (chapters 83,84), arr. by Sheila Upjohn (Harrisburg, PA: Morehouse, 1992), pp. 188-89.
So I saw and understood that our faith is light in darkness, and this light is God our endless day. This light is love, and it is measured in the right amount to profit us, by God's wisdom. For the light is not so bright that we can see our blessed day, nor is it shut off from us. . . .
And so love keeps us in faith and hope.
And hope leads us in love.
And, at the end, all shall be love.

In Tuesday's mayoral election, Robert Consalvo is relying on turning out his high-voting base in Hyde Park, the neighborhood he has represented as a district city councilor for 11 years. But he is not the only contender staking a claim to the turf.
Daniel F. Conley, now Suffolk district attorney and a mayoral candidate, used to represent the neighborhood on the city council. Two other candidates for mayor — Felix G. Arroyo and John R. Connolly — are city councilors who represent all the city's neighborhoods. Arroyo grew up in Hyde Park, too.
"We've got some good people running," said Paul Devine, a Hyde Park resident who knows Conley and Consalvo personally. "And they're going to detract from one another."
The crowded race for mayor is exposing voters' conflicting loyalties in all parts of the city. In Dorchester, six candidates live within a 2-mile radius. But the tension is hitting home especially hard in Hyde Park, the neighborhood that for two decades has been the home of Boston's mayor.
In a field with a dozen candidates, some of whom appeal to the same geographic or ethnic constituencies, no base is considered off-limits by a rival. Campaigns do their best to pick off every vote, splitting neighborhoods, streets, and families in the process. Consider that Consalvo's own cousin donated $500 to Conley before Consalvo declared his candidacy.
Consalvo, Connolly, and Conley are also scrapping for votes in West Roxbury, the neighborhood where Connolly lives and where Conley moved when he left Hyde Park. The high-traffic, high-visibility road Conley lives on now features 18 of his campaign signs, nine for Connolly and two for Consalvo.
One local voter noted that the three pols from the same generation are drawing from the same well of support. "Really, they're sort of eating up each other," he said.
In Hyde Park, Consalvo's campaign spokesman says that his support is overwhelming, an assertion supported by the dominance of his campaign signs there. "This is where Rob's focused on providing excellent constituent service that really matters," spokesman Kevin Franck said. "If you live in Hyde Park, chances are you know a pothole Rob fixed."
But Conley's supporters say he is making inroads there, in part because polling of the tightly packed field indicates he could have a better chance of winning than Consalvo. Only two candidates will survive Tuesday's preliminary election and move on to the Nov. 5 general election.
"I think a lot of people in Hyde Park are actually torn," said Sharon Krause, a Conley volunteer. "In the beginning, everyone thought it would be great if Dan and Rob both would make the final. But now I think people are seeing how close the race is and how close Dan is, and want to make their vote count."
Conley's campaign also works diligently to remind residents of the candidate's Hyde Park heritage.
"People think of Dan as DA, but he was their city councilor, too," Conley spokesman Mike Sherry said. "He's really a Hyde Park kid, with a lot of longstanding friends and family. His parents still live there in the same house. His roots go very deep in Hyde Park."
Conley's old street, Badger Road, still shows some allegiance, with seven Conley signs. Elizabeth Bell, one of those supporting Conley and toting a yard sign, said she might be supporting Consalvo "if we didn't have Dan." But she does.
Theresa Cameron pledged her vote to her current councilor rather than Conley, her former next-door neighbor.
"I voted for him [Conley] before, but now? I love Rob," Cameron said. "I like them all, but I love Rob."
As neighborhoods go, Hyde Park is a Boston outlier. A neighborhood of leafy lots and sprawling parkways, it dangles so precipitously off the southwest edge of the city that it often seems more in league with its suburban neighbors, Dedham and Milton, than busy Boston neighborhoods like Back Bay and Beacon Hill.
But it has enjoyed unusual relevance for two decades as the place that Mayor Thomas M. Menino calls home, making it, if not the castle of the king, than at least the garage of the urban mechanic.
"I think that people all acknowledge there's been infrastructure improvements in Hyde Park under Tom Menino over the last 20 years that hadn't happen before that," said City Council President Stephen J. Murphy, who also lives in Hyde Park.
Hyde Park is also coveted turf in city elections because it is one of the areas where people consistently vote. Consalvo's council district includes more than 6,100 super voters, residents who have voted in the last three mayoral elections.
"One of Rob's real strengths in the race is that his base is a very high-turnout district," Franck said. "Folks who live in Hyde Park turn out the vote in much bigger numbers then those who live in the Fenway."
That means it is also a hot spot for mayoral candidates vying for individual voters' support. On a single day last week, Christen Dellorco got five brochures in the mail from different mayoral campaigns.
Dellorco is firmly committed to Consalvo, who is her husband's cousin, and has a campaign sign in her yard to prove it.
But that sign antagonized her next-door-neighbor, Jack Slekis. He countered by erecting a massive sign for Conley.
The dueling campaign signs vie for motorists' attention along Truman Highway. The cordial relationship between the Hyde Park neighbors has soured.
"He stopped talking to us," Dellorco said. "I would say, 'Hi, Jack,' out in the yard, and he would ignore me. Over political signs!"
The tension is less thick on Badger Road, where Devine is among those advertising his support for Conley, his former longtime neighbor. Still, he has good things to say about Consalvo, whose family he has known for 30 years.
"The Consalvos are wonderful people," Devine said. "Robbie's a swell guy."Stephanie Ebbert can be reached at email@example.com. Follow her on Twitter @StephanieEbbert.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to draw to your attention that today is law day. We in Canada are celebrating the 17th anniversary of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The theme for law day is access to justice, a theme I strongly support.
Public legal information and education activities have been organized across Canada by the Canadian Bar Association involving hundreds of lawyers. The aim is to make the law more accessible to all Canadians and to expand their knowledge of their rights within Canada's justice system.
I offer my encouragement and my support to the Canadian Bar Association as well as to the many community groups here in Ottawa and across Canada in their endeavours on Law Day.
I invite all members to join me in extending best wishes to all involved for a successful law day and especially the members of the Canadian Bar Association who, with their president, Mr. Barry Gorlick, are here in the gallery today.

One hundred miles later these same riders will try to cross the finish line in Auburn's Gold Country Fairgrounds McCann Stadium. The race that began in 1955 as Wendell Robie proved the trail could be conquered in the modern era. The ride is now a historic endurance test and a remarkable accomplishment for horse and rider. Hundreds of volunteers assist the riders in their quest along the trail. This years Tevis Cup was won by Garrett Ford.

In space no one can hear you sing bad J-Pop music.
Seriously, I really should look up the why of that. If it was just accelerating particles like an ordinary gun or mass driver, there should be little problem, but this definitely has to do with the charge, somehow.

Some parts of this section in IS Wiki were actually explained by Tabane herself (vol 3 pg. 187).
The interesting part is that the whole Akatsubaki's body is the same as Yukihira Type-2 (vol 3 pg 188). To illustrate this, assume Yukihira Type-2 as psycho-frame. Byaku Shiki is CCA generation MS (only the cockpit is made of psycho-frame), while Akatsubaki is Gundam Unicorn, where the entire frame is build from psycho-frame
The intriguing part: Tabane said Akatsubaki is still incomplete (pg 189). Does this mean Akatsubaki is supposed to be evolving, and it's up to Houki to upgrade it? Or Tabane is actually building her own Akatsubaki (Banshee) using her own little sister's data obtained by sending the Golems? Hope the author didn't forget this part in vol 3 which was published in 2009
The big T was actually Tabane, not Tomino . Yeah I was rewatching CCA

Another idea: Akatsubaki and Byakushiki aren't just compatible, but intended to function as one machine? We've had previosu discussions on how Akatsubaki seems tailor-made to support Byakushiki--what if Tabane's intention is to actually--I dunno, fuse the two together? a two-pilot IS?

I just found something and it's too late.
Image Interface-controlled weapon, found in all 3rd Gen except ByakuShiki (sort of Fold-Out Armor testbed unit, hence quasi-4th-gen) is self explanatory. Those targeting circle in the HUD.
> Blue Tears: Remote-controlled Bits, requires great concentration
> AIC: Defensive field, requires great concentration. Also, those cable-dagger combo, but that's my guess only.
> Dragon Cannon: Compressed air/ shockwave cannon, considering it's bad accuracy when fired on the move, ditto with the above.
> is Mysteltein (sp?), water controlling spear, works the same way? Haven't read that far.
> I assume Silver Gospel's swiss-army wings also Image-Interface controlled.
> Dunno if this fits the thread or better suited with fanfic discussion, but what sort of Image Interface-controlled weapon you'll gave to Char? Bits/Funnel is out of equation thanks to Cecilia.

AFAIK the PIC and other barrier/shieldign systems on an IS prevent one from being hit by physical or radiation damage, but I don't think they do anything for gas, bacterial agents, or just plain old vacuum. Obviously they do a bit for high-altitude (See Silverio Gospel battle), but I think that an IS pilot surrounded by tear gas would still be affected by the gas somewhat.
To say nothing of what would happen if you threw a flashbang at an IS pilot--the enhanced vision is going to make the flash hurt.

Well, a post after two years of nothing...
Anyway, how many percent of Gundam technology that existed in IS? I.S Core is kind of like GN Driver (but does that mean we would see a Twin Core or Overdriver mode?) I.S definitely is inspired by Gundam. I can guarentee that!

here my idea how guys can be able to pilot an IS unit, a serum inject into their bodies allow guys can pilot an IS unit for 24hrs we can make more of it, but its temporary, plus the effects that it will be it burns up all your cholesterol & calories, & only male bodies can handle the serum

Odegaard Undergraduate Library to undergo renovation 2012-2013
Jill McKinstry
Director of Odegaard Undergraduate Library
(206) 685-3933
Rebecca Barnes
University Architect, Office of Planning & Budget
Chair, Odegaard Phase I Working Group
206 543-4382
The University Libraries and the University of Washington Office of Planning and Budget announce the renovation and upgrades of a portion of the Odegaard Undergraduate Library. This is the first of a multi-phase renovation project to provide flexible and multi-use studying, classroom and learning spaces. The project is scheduled to begin June 2012 with anticipated completion the beginning of Autumn Quarter 2013. The source of funds is an appropriation of $16.575 million in the 2011-13 State Capital Budget.
Lizabeth (Betsy) Wilson, dean of University Libraries, noted, "I hope students are as excited as we are about making this a space that revolves around what the students want it to be – a flexible space that allows the technology-savvy and technology-equipped students of the University of Washington to do their best research, studying and collaboration."
Odegaard Undergraduate Library has served the students of the University of Washington as a critical academic facility since it was first constructed in 1972. Almost forty years later, it remains the most utilized student study and research space on campus with more than 10,000 students per day passing through its doors.
The Miller Hull Partnership is the project architect. They will work with the campus to gather student and faculty input through mid-October, and will present their initial design concepts and scopes of work in mid-December to the University of Washington Architectural Commission. After further development of the building design, construction will begin in June 2012.
Mortenson Construction is the General Contractor / Construction Manager (GC/CM) for the project.

Claudio Pizarro supplies victory
Claudio Pizarro scored as Bayern Munich defeated Chivas de Guadalajara in front of 25,073 fans at Red Bull Arena in Harrison, New Jersey on Thursday night.
- Marshall: Dignified defeat for Chivas
Pep Guardiola's men controlled the majority of possession and took the lead in the 10th minute when Pizarro slotted home Franck Ribery's corner.
Pizarro nearly had two more goals in the first half as the Bundesliga champions took control.
Carlos Fierro nearly equalised for Chivas in the 81st minute, but Bayern keeper Tom Starke saved to preserve the win.
Xherdan Shaqiri played his first game for Bayern this preseason after taking time off following the World Cup, but most of the German stars and Arjen Robben were still missing.
American winger Julian Green did not play after picking up a knock in training.

In Lockstep: Conservative Media Turn To Attacking The Fact-Checkers
Research ››› ››› HANNAH GROCH-BEGLEY
In an attempt to shield Mitt Romney's campaign from criticism that many of its claims against the Obama administration are based on falsehoods, conservative media have resorted to attacking fact-checkers, accusing them of liberal bias or of "shilling" for the Obama campaign. This is in keeping with the position of the Romney campaign, which has said, "We're not going to let our campaign be dictated by fact-checkers."
Romney Campaign Dismissed Fact-Checkers
Romney Surrogate: "We're Not Going [To] Let Our Campaign Be Dictated By Fact-Checkers." During an ABC News/Yahoo! News event at the Republican National Convention, Romney pollster Neil Newhouse suggested fact-checkers were biased and stated: "We're not going [to] let our campaign be dictated by fact-checkers." From ABCNews.com:
O'Connor said she thought their ad "Right Choice" attacking Obama on welfare reform has been the most effective so far, despite its being given "Four Pinnochios" by a Washington Post fact check.
Newhouse brushed off the fact check as par for the course in political campaigns.
"People are always going to get Pinocchios for this stuff," Newhouse said. "We stand behind those ads and behind the facts in those ads."
Newhouse suggested the problem was with the fact-checkers, not the facts themselves: "Fact-checkers come to this with their own sets of thoughts and beliefs and you know what? We're not going let our campaign be dictated by fact-checkers." [ABCNews.com, 8/28/2012]
Conservative Media In Turn Attacked Fact-Checkers
Rush Limbaugh: "The Drive-By Media Was On A Mission To Try To Prove That Paul Ryan Had Lied." On his radio show, Rush Limbaugh blasted the "bogus fact-checkers" who he said used "misleading data" to "prove that Paul Ryan had lied" in his speech at the Republican National Convention:
LIMBAUGH: Within five minutes, the drive-by media was on a mission to try to prove that Paul Ryan had lied. And they got their bogus fact-checkers up and in gear. And low and behold, they put out stories themselves filled with misleading data in order to make the point that Paul Ryan lied. "Obama didn't shut down that factory." And I -- we've got the facts for you and in the next segment, I'll run through them very quickly.
But the fact of the matter is the Democrats and their fact-checkers have it wrong. Ryan was right and even CNN's fact-checkers grudgingly admit it, at the end of the day. [Premiere Radio Networks, The Rush Limbaugh Show, 8/30/12]
Jennifer Rubin: "Nearly En Masse The Left Decided That Ryan 'Lied.'" Washington Post conservative columnist Jennifer Rubin defended Congressman Paul Ryan's RNC speech, claiming that "nearly en masse the left decided that Ryan 'lied'" because his speech "was a ringing success with delegates and in much of the mainstream media":
Needless to say, the speech was a ringing success with delegates and in much of the mainstream media. Ryan bloodied President Obama with blow after blow, all the while appearing cheery and sincere. The crowd loved it. So nearly en masse the left decided that Ryan "lied."
For starters, that is the ultimate compliment. It is in effect saying the speech worked so well and was received so well that the only thing to say is that it was a con job.
But the "lies" turn out not to be lies at all. They are not even misrepresentations or exaggerations.
I think much of the media accusations were offered in haste in an effort to get out the instant reaction without the media doing their full homework. It is a revealing moment, for the press and the Obama camp. For members of the Obama team, it means they are losing the race, and they know it. [The Washington Post, 8/30/12]
Breitbart.com's John Nolte: "The Term 'Fact Checker' Is Now A Punchline." In a blog post titled "Era of Media Fact Checkers Intimidating Republicans Is Over," Breitbart.com editor John Nolte accused "left-wing fact checkers" of "shameless Obama-shilling":
It's official; the term "fact checker" is now a punchline.
For four long years, I've waited for these disgracefully partisan left-wing fact checkers to implode, and this morning and last night it finally happened. And it happened under the weight of their own lies and shameless Obama-shilling/
Last night, before the applause had even died after VP nominee Paul Ryan's masterful speech, CNN's Wolf Blitzer was calling Ryan a liar. Before the echoes of Ryan's last words had even faded, Blitzer was telling America the fact-checkers would take issue with the speech.
Within minutes afterwards, the lying, disgraced media fact-checkers dutifully followed suit with a flurry of lying, disgraced checking of Ryan's facts.
This was undoubtedly pre-planned and organized between Team Obama and his Media Palace Guards. [Breitbart.com, 8/30/12]
- Nolte Attacked Wash. Post's Glenn Kessler As A "Dishonest Fact-Checker" And A "Feckless, Impotent Little Fact-Checker." In another Breitbart.com piece, Nolte attacked the Washington Post's Glenn Kessler, calling him "dishonest" and a "feckless, impotent little fact-checker." Nolte went on to write: "This isn't journalism; this is extortion. And "lie" is nothing more than the new word the corrupt media uses to describe any and all effective attacks launched against Their Precious One." [Breitbart.com, 8/30/12]
Jon Scott: "Some Media Outlets Suggesting He Got Some Of His Facts Wrong. Is that fair?" On Fox News' Happening Now, anchor Jon Scott questioned the fairness of "suggesting" Ryan "got some of his facts wrong" in his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention:
SCOTT: Meantime, a rousing speech from Paul Ryan gets folks at the convention all fired up. But there's also been some criticism of the speech. Some media outlets suggesting he got some of his facts wrong. Is that fair? [Fox News, Happening Now, 8/30/12]
National Review: "Maybe It's Liberal Bias That Explains PolitiFact's Blown Calls." In an editorial titled "PolitiFiction," National Review accused the nonpartisan organization PolitiFact of "liberal bias" for rating "false" the Romney campaign's claims about Medicare under the Obama administration, asserting that "PolitiFact can't be trusted to get the story right":
The website PolitiFact is going to be truth-squadding the Republican convention speakers this week, delivering verdicts on which claims are "mostly true" and which deserve a "pants on fire" rating. Our advice: Pay no attention to those ratings. PolitiFact can't be trusted to get the story right.
Maybe it's liberal bias that explains PolitiFact's blown calls. Whatever the reason, it is no good at distinguishing between truth and falsehood, which is to say at its professed mission. It should therefore give itself a "pants on fire" rating and shut itself down. [National Review, 8/28/2012]
Erick Erickson: "The Fact Checkers Are Not Checking Facts, They Are Spinning." In a RedState.com post, CNN contributor Erick Erickson compared fact-checkers to "lemmings" that work "hand in hand" with the Obama campaign "to drive a narrative designed to advance Barack Obama's re-election," adding:
The fact checkers are not checking facts, they are spinning. And the media, which is no longer respected by the American people, has abdicated the fact checking role it consistently refused to do to a group it created. The media's fact checkers are propped up as arbiters of truth when they just still promote the media's own bullcrap, just this time with a "truth" label stuck to it. [RedState, 8/30/12]

Ky. inmate who walked off found in Ohio
Ky. inmate who walked off found in Ohio
RADCLIFF, Ky. —
A central Kentucky jailer says an inmate who walked away from a work detail last week has been located in Ohio.
Hardin County jailer Danny Allen told The News-Enterprise that 20-year-old Ryan Jones of LaFollette, Tenn., was taken into custody Tuesday night in Fairborn, Ohio, and was taken to the Greene County jail, which is near Dayton.
Jones originally was arrested in Whitley County, Ky., on charges of first-degree wanton endangerment and first-degree fleeing or evading police. The state transferred Jones to Hardin County in April for the work-release program. Jones was scheduled to be released in May.
Kentucky State Police had said they thought Jones was headed to the Dayton area after his escape last Friday.

Remarks by UNDP Administrator at High-level Meeting on Sustainable Energy for AllSep 24, 2012
I am pleased to address this high-level event on Sustainable Energy for All -an initiative in which I have been pleased to participate in over the past year.
I welcome the President of the World Bank becoming a Co-Chair with the UN Secretary-General of the new Advisory Board for the initiative. UNDP looks forward to deepening its partnership with the World Bank on this agenda, including at the country level.
From the first meeting of the High-level Group here in New York a year ago, there has been remarkable progress.
The power of multi-stakeholder partnerships has been used to move the critical issue of energy to the top of the international agenda. In fewer than twelve months, more than fifty developing countries have made commitments under the initiative, and voluntary commitments in the area of energy made at Rio+20 were phenomenal.
Building on the momentum achieved, now is the time to consolidate the gains and move further ahead.
Our partners are ready. Small Island Developing States, for example, have pledged their commitment to providing universal access to energy, switching to renewable energy, and reducing dependence on fossil fuels. For example, the Maldives have committed to achieve carbon neutrality in the energy sector by year 2020, and the Marshall Islands aim to electrify all urban households and 95 percent of rural, outer atoll households by 2015.
I emphasise two points of importance to the continued success of Sustainable Energy for All:
First, the initiative must be fully grounded in efforts to accelerate progress on the MDGs by 2015, and be carefully considered in the context of a renewed global development agenda beyond 2015.
Energy is fundamental to MDG achievement. Sustainable and safe energy in the home and the community has many benefits for the lives of men, women and children – from health to education and economic empowerment. Universal access to energy will drive inclusive development.
Second, both global and country-level coordination of diverse partners is critical for the success of Sustainable Energy for All.
It takes time, effort, commitment, and resources to bring partners together around shared development objectives. But when it works, the rewards will be substantial.
This next phase of Sustainable Energy for All must
- leverage the mandates and capacities of all the actors involved at the global and country levels;
- benefit from the well-established and accepted co-ordination mechanisms of the United Nations, including the Resident Coordinator system with its universal presence and convening power in developing countries;
- ensure the engagement of both civil society and the private sector, and;
- recognise and address the particular energy needs of women and girls.
UNDP is committed to the continued success of Sustainable Energy for All. We note that adequate and timely funding will be important elements of its success, and suggest that a UN-based multi-partner trust fund (MPTF) should be set up to support the UN development system's work in support of the initiative.
We look forward to working with all partners on the three goals of the initiative – thereby helping countries to chart a sustainable and inclusive path out of poverty to greater prosperity.
