Aerosmith Begin 'Global Warming' Tour in Minneapolis
Aerosmith kicked off their Global Warming Tour last night (June 16) at the Target Center in Minneapolis. The sold-out crowd of 14,000 were treated to a 19-song, 100-minute set comprised almost entirely of hits from all phases of their career, and found time to introduce two new songs.
Opening with 'Draw the Line,' the band jumped a decade to 'Love in an Elevator.' They then rolled into the future with 'Oh Yeah,' a bluesy-stomp from their upcoming album, 'Music from Another Dimension,' which made its world premiere. Their new single, 'Legendary Child,' was performed towards the end of the set.
The middle of the set was comprised mostly of their later successes, with occasional detours ('Last Child,' 'Combination') before closing with the one-two punch of 'Sweet Emotion,' which topped our list of the Top 100 Classic Rock Songs, and 'Walk this Way.'
Judging by the videos below, Aerosmith were in fine form musically and displayed none of the tension that had threatened to sink the band during the past few years. Steven Tyler and Joe Perry displayed their trademark "Toxic Twins" dynamic. Maybe they need to be reminded more often that, above everything else, the music comes first.

If one does wish to buy the physical book reprint by Pharr because of the free pdf version available from this website, then there are two ways to read the book from the pdf version.
The first method is rather inconvenient : print the book on paper and read it from there. This is inconvient because of the required printing of the whole book. The style of the books of that era calls for flipping back and forth throughout the pages, as the lesson paragraphs refer to other paragraphs on morphology, syntax and the like. These paragraphs in turn may refer to other paragraphs, etc. So that one cannot read the book on paper without the whole 391 pages available at all times.
The other method is to read the pdf directly from the computer. This is far from a real book, but can present some advantages. However, the available pdf we get does not present such features that make reading a pdf enjoyable.
So here is what I have done with the pdf. First, I have bookmarked the chapters and many of their respective sections. Most of the lessons were bookmarked as well, so one can go directly to them from the standard bookmark panel.
Then I went a step further. At all places were the text refers to a paragraph number, I inserted a hyperlink bringing directly to the desired location, by clicking on the referred-to number. It is simple now to jump all over the book by clicking on the links, and coming back to the original departure point by using the navigation arrow tools of the pdf file.
I do not know if anyone has gone through the trouble of doing this, but it sure makes a big difference in saved time alone. Reading Pharr on my portable computer is now much much more convenient than any piece of paper.

Greeetings, I got a new pump. It is medela, the one with the backpack. I also decided to cut holes in an old sportsbra to keep the sucking things in place when i walk around. Right now baby is latched. I have been trying to push the boob on her a bit more and sometimes she likes it and other times she looks at me mad, wondering why I am giving her something that squirts out very little milk and not her bottle). And yea when I do feed her formula and try to put her on the breast, sometimes she gets mad at me and refuses to latch. I have way more luck at night and from what I was told, the night is the most crucial because my hormones are peaking and it helps to establish a supply.
Right now I am drinking about 4 cups of fuegreek (mother's milk) tea a day and I noticed that the left boob that seemed to have issues is acting better, I also put her on it when she lets me.

Hollywood Bowl
More Info
The Hollywood Bowl Los Angeles officially opened on July 11, 1922 and was built on top of an old amphitheatre site known as the Daisy Dell. The Hollywood Bowl Los Angeles has a seating capacity of 17,376. The large concentric arches seen over the performance stage serve as the Hollywood Bowl's signature feature. Though grand, the Hollywood Bowl Los Angeles did not earn its name through its signature arches; instead, the term "bowl" was derived from the hillside that the Hollywood Bowl is carved into.
The Hollywood Bowl Los Angeles is the second home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the primary home of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra. In addition to their instrumental acts, the Hollywood Bowl Los Angeles has welcomed a variety of musical stars. Frank Sinatra, The Beatles, Billie Holiday and Andrea Bocelli are just a taste of the legendary names that have been a part of the Hollywood Bowl schedule. The Hollywood Bowl schedule continues its past of legendary acts with both popular and classical acts to come in 2011.
Check out the Hollywood Bowl schedule for all the latest news and up-to-date information on what's on at the Hollywood Bowl Los Angeles.

CINCINNATI (AP) — A man found guilty of killing 11 women and hiding their remains around his Cleveland home got a fair trial, and his conviction and death sentence should stand, state prosecutors told the Supreme Court.
Responding to an appeal by convicted serial killer Anthony Sowell, prosecutors told the court in Monday's filing that he is "the worst offender in the history of Cuyahoga County and arguably of the State of Ohio."
"Sowell brutally murdered 11 innocent women by strangling them to death," prosecutors wrote. "He left their bodies lying around his house like garbage."
In their appeal in October, Sowell's attorneys argued that their client's original lawyers were his "chief saboteurs" and wrongly wasted time by arguing to jurors that there was reasonable doubt about Sowell's guilt in the face of the overwhelming evidence against him and his own confession.
Instead, his current attorneys argue, Sowell's previous defense team should have conceded that he was guilty and focused on sparing him from the death penalty in favor of life in prison without the possibility of parole.
"Counsel repeatedly directed the jurors' attention to gruesome and painfully damning evidence," Sowell's attorneys wrote. "This quixotic undertaking damaged counsels' credibility, made them look desperate in the process and likely irritated the jurors by unnecessarily dragging out the trial. Counsels' strategy was not justly chosen; it was irrational."
State prosecutors say that argument amounts to Sowell saying that he was denied a fair trial by getting one.
"Sowell had an absolute constitutional right to go to trial and to force the state to prove his guilt on every charge in the indictment beyond a reasonable doubt," according to the prosecutors' filing. "Sowell's position has no support in case law or in the Constitution, and he cannot demonstrate deficient performance (of counsel) based on the exercise of his own constitutional rights."
Sowell's attorneys will get a chance to respond to the prosecutors' filing, and then the Ohio Supreme Court can rule whether to uphold Sowell's conviction and death sentence.
Jurors found Sowell guilty of killing 11 women from June 2007 to July 2009. Police found their mostly nude bodies throughout the house after a woman escaped and said she had been raped in there.
Sowell's victims ranged in age from 24 to 52, all were recovering or current drug addicts and most died of strangulation; some had been decapitated, and others were so badly decomposed that coroners couldn't say with certainty how they died.
In interviews with police, Sowell said he targeted black women who reminded him of his ex-girlfriend, who had been addicted to crack and left him shortly before the killings began.

When I decided to go out on a limb and make a prediction for the election results in 2012 the race was tight and the outcome not apparent.
Especially in Virginia.
Such is not the case in 2013.
(Team McAuliffe is confident heading into Election day/Photo from his FB page)
While the race for Governor of Virginia was expected to be a slugfest that was close right until the end, things shifted in a pretty dramatic way in late August. There have been polls that have shown the margin to be as high as 15 points and as low as 4 points, but truly Terry McAuliffe (D) has held a stable 6-8 point lead since late summer and there is nothing to indicate the results won't be any different Tuesday night when the polls close.
This is how I think the returns will come in. I emphasize this is not necessarily my personal preference, it has nothing to do with how the campaigns were run or the candidate's stances on specific issues. This is simply an analysis of public polling and my assessment of the public's mood in general.
Governor: Terry McAuliffe 51% Ken Cuccinelli 43% Robert Sarvis 6%
The most unpredictable variable in any off year election is turnout and low turnout is the only key to a Cuccinelli victory. In my estimation the Democrats have been concerned about low turnout since the day after their losing effort in 2009 and have since had a hellbent obsession with getting their voters to the polls.
Instead of distancing themselves from the Obama machine in 2009, the McAuliffe campaign has adopted it wholesale and added their own twist in certain areas. They have micro-targeted voters they have been monitoring since early 2008 down to such a rigid science that they are aware of not only the voting households that support their candidate, but the people within those households who they know are with them. They have then gone about on a historic GOTV effort that will see them contacting more voters in the last weekend of the vote than the Deeds campaign did in the ENTIRE 2009 campaign.
In just four days the McAuliffe team will either knock on the door or make a phone call to some 600 thousand Virginia voters. And not only are these voters, they are voters they are sure are inclined to vote for their candidate.
While I believe the McAuliffe model is solid and that they have the financial resources to pull it off, I don't believe it will be enough to over perform polling. While McAuliffe has steadily improved his favorability numbers, the last Quinnipiac Poll released Monday morning shows he still has a negative favorability rating of -3. Even if you contact all those voters, it will be tough to motivate people who just like the other guy a little less than your guy to get out to vote on Tuesday.
We also have the unpredictable element of a third party candidate. Robert Sarvis's polling has been steady and strong, but he has virtually no get out the vote effort. A campaign official within one of two major party operations believes the lowest Sarvis could pull is 5%. I agree. However I think he falls short of the magic 10% threshold and I don't think when the dust settles that his candidacy will have had an impact on the result between McAuliffe and Cuccinelli.
I believe the Sarvis voter stays home if he were not in the race.
That being said, a 6% showing in a race where the major party candidates will have spent close to $60 million and both have tremendous name ID will be a monumental and historic finish.
Lt. Governor: Ralph Northam 53% E.W. Jackson 43% (4% won't vote)
This is far and away the easiest race to predict. Bishop E.W. Jackson could not escape the spectre of his previous controversial statements and despite his best effort to clarify his record he did not have the resources or the time to overcome the damage.
The LG race might best be described in one ad done by the Northam team that has been airing pretty consistently in many markets. It pulls a section from Jackson's book where he describes birth defects as a punishment for sin. It features a mom with a child with a birth defect who emotionally calls Jackson's statement offensive. It is a devastating ad- and while it may not tell the whole story of Jackson's position, he never even approached the resources necessary to rebut that claim and the many others lodged against him.
This race will be the first to be called Tuesday night.
Attorney General: Mark Herring 50% Mark Obenshain 48% (2% won't vote)
There is no question this will be the race of the night and one that might take some time to call.
I have pegged the margin of victory in the Governor's race that is insurmountable for the Republican Mark Obenshain to overcome at 7%. I think it is possible for him to still lose if McAuliffe's margin of victory is smaller than that, I believe it is impossible for him to win if it is more than that number. I believe McAuliffe will win by 8 points and as a result will take Herring with him.
Herring was wise to stick close to the McAuliffe train and tie Obenshain to Cuccinelli as much as possible. He will benefit from the enormous democrat turnout effort and it won't hurt that the LG race will be a landslide.
An Obenshain victory is much more likely than a Cuccinelli victory, but think of the odds like this: If this election were the Powerball lottery, Obenshain would need to correctly pick all 5 white powerballs correctly, but might sneak in if the red powerball doesn't come up right. Cuccinelli needs all 5 white powerballs and the red ball to win.
It should be a good night to be a Democrat.
See if I am right.. tune in to NBC12's special election night coverage. Wall to wall from 7-11pm! on air and on line.

Teen pleads not guilty to threatening Sanborn High students with gunBy Jason Schreiber
Union Leader Correspondent
October 28. 2013 12:11PM
PLAISTOW - A Danville teenager pleaded not guilty Monday to charges he threatened students with what appeared to be a handgun outside Sanborn Regional High School last month.
Timothy Soucy, 18, of 24 Sanborn St., was arraigned Monday in the Plaistow Circuit Court on three counts of criminal threatening and one count of disorderly conduct stemming from the incident in the school's parking lot on Sept. 30.
A former student at the school, Soucy is accused of making the threats to three students while sitting inside a car.
State Police are prosecuting the case and have not said what prompted the alleged threat.
According to the charges, Soucy allegedly placed the students in fear of "imminent bodily injury or physical contact by pointing what appeared to be a handgun" at them.
State Police Trooper Mike Coraluzzo would not say whether police ever recovered a handgun, saying only that the case remains under investigation.
The incident prompted a significant police response from several law enforcement agencies and forced the school to order a lockdown.
Soucy will remain free on bail, but Coraluzzo asked that he have no contact with two women and another male with whom he is acquainted in addition to the three male students named in the complaints.
In court, Soucy said one of the women with whom he was ordered to have no contact was his ex-girlfriend.
Coraluzzo said Soucy has no criminal record.
Soucy said he graduated from the high school last year.
The criminal threatening charges are Class A misdemeanors while the disorderly conduct charge is a violation. If convicted, Soucy could face thousands in fines and spend up to a year in jail on each misdemeanor charge.
Soucy is due back in court on Dec. 5 for a pretrial conference.

Alannah Myles
Alannah, If You Please
Welcome to Forgotten Videos, "The GRAMMY Nominations Concert Live!!" edition, showcasing past GRAMMY winners and nominees. For some, these videos are forgotten, for others just filed away, and for others still, a totally brand-new discovery. Whichever category you fall into, each week until the nominations special on Dec. 1 we'll feature a video from a GRAMMY-winning or –nominated artist that's possibly been collecting dust when what it really deserves is a fresh look. Or, just for old times' sake. We just want to take you on a little trip down memory lane. Yep, you'll remember when hair was really that big, when drums were that up front in the mix, when video was young(er) and so were you.
Alannah Myles
"Black Velvet"
In an interesting geographical twist, Toronto-born Alannah Myles scored one of the bigger hits of 1989 with a Southern-drenched tribute to the King in the form of "Black Velvet."
After years of paying dues on the Canadian music scene, Myles mined platinum with her debut on Atlantic Records, which contained the No. 1 hit "Black Velvet." Written by David Tyson (who produced the album) and then-boyfriend Christopher Ward, the infectious tune is littered with references to Elvis Presley:
"Jimmie Rodgers on the Victrola up high/Mama's dancin' with baby on her shoulder" (Baby Elvis dancing on mother Gladys Presley's shoulder to the sounds of one of Elvis' favorite country artists, Jimmie Rodgers)
"Up in Memphis the music's like a heat wave" (The heat emanating from Sun Studios in Memphis, where Elvis recorded)
"'Love Me Tender' leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle" (Elvis' 1956 hit that caused the ladies to swoon)
"The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true" (Elvis' patented hip swivel, so bad, yet so good)
"Black velvet, a new religion that will bring you to your knees" (The title is a play on the fairly common paintings of Elvis on black velvet, while new religion refers to his religious-like influence on rock and roll)
While "Black Velvet" crossed over to rock and adult contemporary radio stations, the video also garnered heavy play on MTV. Matching the song's heavy Southern atmosphere, the video finds Myles (with her luscious black hair, aided by Vidal Sassoon products according to the album's liner notes) and an acoustic guitar-bearing bandmate taking the day in from the porch of a Southern-style abode, while interspersing live clips. (Little did we know the house was actually a log cabin located in Buckhorn, Ontario.) Musically, "Black Velvet" — just like the King — goes down smooth with a tight shuffle beat, Hammond organ embellishments and tasteful bluesy guitar licks, all rounded out by Myles' sultry vocals.
Capping off a whirlwind year, Myles won a GRAMMY for Best Rock Vocal Performance, Female, for "Black Velvet" at the 33rd Annual GRAMMY Awards in 1990, beating out female heavyweights Melissa Etheridge, Janet Jackson, Stevie Nicks, and Tina Turner. Though Myles has never repeated the mainstream success of "Black Velvet," the song received a fresh coat of paint as part of a three-song EP, appropriately released on Aug. 16, 2007, to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Elvis' death.
Can you figure out what Alannah whispers in the song's intro and outro? Leave us a comment. And don't forget to tune into "The GRAMMY Nominations Concert Live!! — Countdown To Music's Biggest Night" on Dec. 1 from 10–11 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.

Shelby County Mayor Mark Luttrell is proposing a $4.38 county property tax rate for the new fiscal year that begins July 1. That along with several other fiscal moves would give the consolidated school system the nearly $35 million in extra funding in the school system's still tentative budget.
Luttrell presented his proposal to Shelby County commissioners Wednesday, May 15, during committee sessions.
The other elements of the proposal include increased revenue projections for the new fiscal year of $11.6 million. The new revenue projections mean producing the same amount of revenue for county government after the 2013 property reappraisal will take about three cents off the 33 cents on the property tax rate that Luttrell and commissioners originally estimated.
The administration, working with Shelby County Trustee David Lenoir and Shelby County Assessor Cheyenne Johnson, brought down the certified tax rate based on a normal 93 percent collection rate by the Trustee's office in the first year after a reappraisal.
That 93 percent with a certified tax rate of $4.32 came to $695 million in revenue in the revised numbers, the same amount of revenue the county gets with the current $4.02 tax rate. The upward revenue estimate leaves $11.6 million in extra revenue not included in Luttrell's original budget proposal.
Luttrell proposed Wednesday that the extra $11.6 million in county revenue projected to go to the schools budget. And another $10 million from a six-cent increase on the property tax rate above the estimated recertified tax rate would also go to the schools.
Luttrell is also advocating that the school board approve $5 million to $7 million from its reserves funds for the rest.
"With their reaching into their fund balance, added to the adjustments that we've just outlined, would give them close to the $35 million," Luttrell said.
The countywide school board meets Thursday at 1 p.m. to vote on a budget proposal that goes to the county commission for funding. The first stop for the budget proposal will be the county commission's budget committee on May 22.

NetWellness experts receive many questions about breast cancer. Breast cancer, like all other cancers, forms when the process of cell division goes awry. Normally, cells are constantly dividing and dying ensuring that there is a balance between cell death and cell growth. Tumor cells do not have the same checks and balances that affect the normal cell cycle.
Non-cancerous tumors (benign) are generally not life threatening. This is because they don't usually invade surrounding tissue and spread, are easily removed, and don't tend to grow back after removal. Cancerous tumors (malignant) can be life threatening. This is because they can invade surrounding tissue, have the potential of spreading throughout the body, and though they can be removed they have a risk of to growing back.
After extensive research some factors have been found that may put you at higher risk to develop breast cancer. Some of these risk factors include:
Age: Your risk increases as you get older.
Previous breast cancer: Having a personal history of breast cancer: If you've had cancer in one breast you are more likely to develop it in the other.
Family history: Women with mothers, sisters, or daughters with breast cancer may be more likely to develop it. See this NetWellness original on Inherited Breast Cancer for more information.
Premalignant changes on biopsy: Some women have atypical cells in their breast tissue that may develop into cancer.
Gene changes: Abnormalities in two genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2, sometimes may be inherited from either parent, increasing the risk of developing breast cancer.
Reproductive history:
- The older a woman is when she has her first child, the greater her chance of breast cancer.
- Women who had their first menstrual period before age 12 are at an increased risk of breast cancer.
- Women who went through menopause after age 55 are at an increased risk of breast cancer.
- Women who never had children are at an increased risk of breast cancer.
Hormone therapy: Women who take menopausal hormone therapy with estrogen plus progestin after menopause have an increased risk of breast cancer.
Radiation therapy to the chest: Women who have been treated for other illnesses by this method are more likely to develop breast cancer. This risk is highest for girls treated with radiation during adolescence (during the time of breast development).
Breast density: Denser breast tissue in older women may indicate increased susceptibility.
Poor lifestyle habits increase breast cancer risk:
- Being overweight or obese after menopause
- Lack of physical activity
- Drinking alcohol several times per week
- Smoking tobacco
Knowing your own personal risk factors is only part of staying healthy. Listed below are some guidelines to help you know when it's time to be checked and how to check for the possibility of breast cancer.
Though it is of course important to have a mammography when you already believe you have found something abnormal, it is also important that you have mammographies on a regular basis even if you do not suspect anything unusual yet. This will allow early detection you notice a problem. Below are guidelines for performing screening mammograms.
If you're age 40 or older, you should have screening mammograms every year. There is no upper age limit on when to stop screening mammograms, as long a other health conditions are not serious and a woman is healthy enough to undergo breast cancer treatment if cancer is detected.
Family medical history - If you are at increased risk of developing breast cancer because of family history, known to have abnormal BRCA-1 or BRCA-2 genes, or because of previous premalignant changes on biopsy, screening may be recommended at a younger age than 40. Sometimes breast MRIs (a more sophisticated imaging technique) are used in such individuals. Women at increased risk should have regular check-ups with a medical provider skilled in breast cancer screening and knowledgeable about the latest screening recommendations and techniques.
The following screening techniques help in early detection of breast cancer and improve chances of survival significantly.
Breast Self-Exam - Performing regular breast self-exams (monthly is recommended) will ensure that you are familiar with your normal fluctuation in breast consistency. This interactive feature developed by the Minority Health Initiative provides training on how to perform a breast self exam.
Clinical Breast Exams - This is a touch test similar to the breast self-exam, but is performed by your health care provider. All areas of the breast are carefully pressed to find lumps that may no be seen on mammogram.
- This is a diagnostic tool in which x-rays are taken of your breast to reveal abnormal tissues. Mammograms can detect small breast tumors in two ways: Early breast cancers often leave tiny calcium deposits in the breast as cells die, and these can be seen on the mammograms. Other breast tumors are revealed by showing masses or shadows that look like ?white spots? on an otherwise dark breast image. Either way, these mammogram changes can be the first signal that there may be abnormal cells developing in the breast.
Breast cancer is a serious disease but it is treatable if caught early on. The NetWellness features listed below contain information regarding general breast health.

In my more than 13 years of covering sports in Okaloosa County I've often heard that Crestview High School's athletic program had the potential to be the area's best. But year in and year out, I've watched seasons of unfulfilled promises slip by.
In my more than 13 years of covering sports in Okaloosa County I've often heard that Crestview High School's athletic program had the potential to be the area's best.
But year in and year out, I've watched seasons of unfulfilled promises slip by.
Yes, there was the 2003 Bulldog football team that was the Class 3A runner up. And nobody can deny that Crestview baseball coach Tim Gillis consistently has one of the area's better teams.
Perhaps the greatest disappointments at Crestview High in recent years have been the boys and girls basketball teams. Anyone who has attended a Bulldog basketball game knows that has started to change.
Girls Coach Kathy Combest was a proven winner at Baker. In her second year with the Bulldogs she has shown the magic of hard work and tough love with a young team that has just two seniors.
First-year boys Coach Greg Watson walked into a great situation with a senior-laden team. Watson took the talented group and put his brand on the squad.
A guard during his playing days, Watson has preached physical toughness and aggressiveness inside, which plays to many of his key players' strengths.
Call it magic or good coaching, but both the Crestview boys and girls won 20 games this year. And the boys captured their first district championship in more than 20 years.
It also had been more than 20 years since either team won a playoff game, but that changed this season as the Crestview girls beat Leon and Fort Walton Beach before losing to Apopka Wekiva in the Class 7A region finals.
The boys won their region quarterfinal game over Leon on Thursday and hosted Lincoln Tuesday night in the region semifinals. A Bulldogs win and they will host the region final Saturday with a trip to the state finals on the line.
Some of the other CHS teams also have shown improvement.
Combest took the Bulldog volleyball team to the playoffs for the first time in several years. The football team, which was coming off back-to-back 4-6 seasons, improved to 5-5 under first-year coach Tim Hatten and, in the process, beat rival Niceville for the first time in more than 30 years.
One of the amazing things I've seen in all of this is the unity and bond that all of the teams share in support of one another. The Bulldog family is just that among all of the Crestview athletes.
For years, several Crestview area athletes have made the trip south on State Highway 85 to play ball for Niceville, Fort Walton Beach or Choctawhatchee. It's time for Crestview kids to stay in Crestview and get on board with what's happening at their hometown school.
A sleeping giant is waking up and the future looks bright for Crestview High School athletics.

text: I understand that vent free log sets are required to have a metal id tag, but these do not. I need to identify the manufacturer as I am trying to get a NG pilot assembly as this originally was set up for propane use. The SIT 820 Nova millivolt valve can easily be converted with a new regulator. This log set is being used in a vented application so I am not concernd with the efficency. I could drill out the pilot orifice but would rather not and know that the pilot is correct and functioning as it shoud. I am getting very little to no assistance locally with technicians. But in order to rectify this situation I need to contact the manufacturer. This set is somewhat uniqe in its burner design. It is a 30" see thru log set which does narrow it down a bit, this one has a one piece burner tube shaped kinda like Talladega which is rare for a log set and I am hoping that somehere can identify it, and is pictured below. Thanks for your replies, I would like to get this going soon, any help, suggestions and reccomedations are welcome. Thank you

When he digs deep and reaches this level, he might be worth paying attention to again. But honestly c'mon he is the Renji of the humans
You know, I got issues with Chad using Sonido. Thinking back to that fight with Mosqueda, Chad got 2 powerups. His right arm got super juiced up and then he got some godlike left arm. But the icing on the cake is that he can magically out of nowhere use Sonido too. Sonido that was even faster than a former espada. Ridiculous. Chad's just a human. A Human that only even has powers because he's around Ichigo's massive reiatsu. I think they really pushed the limits in that fight for Chad and I don't think he'll obtain any higher heights of power.
Always U2D
I think hes just a big monkey see, monkey do kind of person. Possible like ichigo he has more power hidden inside but doubtful.

I got another question. Why did Chad's power rise and change when he appeared in Hueco Mundo?
Where the hell am I?
They supposedly rose because his power's are hollow like. Hollows are more powerful in Hueco Mundo. Which is another reason why Ichigo is stronger in Hueco Mundo which no one seems to mention.
Always U2D
A bit strange . I wonder if he got that power by that hollow chasing that coca tail?
Where the hell am I?
Chad's power story is much like Orihime. We know they have it but no real backstory on how they got it. Orihime's brother gave her the hair clips, Chad's abuelo(grandfather told him he had great power in him. Beyond that there really isnt much info that I can remember.
Do you think he got his power from that token on his necklace? Just like Orihime got hers from her hair clips? It's possible. I was asuming that hollow gave him powers since his powers were closer to a hollow's.
Where the hell am I?
its possible but the better question is will TK ever really get into the subject?
They should. But they have been running out of ideas and have beening thinking of new ones like the next day. TK is strange that way and they have been also working on Naruto Shipudden.
Where the hell am I?
Lol I laughed so hard when I read this topic title Chad is obviously hated by Kubo I think Kubo might be racist he has thing against Mexicans and Black people
Chad= Mexican and he sucks big time just as soon as he does something good he just gets his arse handed to him I mean even Kariya Jin a filler guy beat him with ease talk about humilation.
Pink Pumkin man 7th Espada= Only true black espada Yami is brown so I dont count him. Just look at this guys abilties I think he is another victim of Kubo's great sense of humour which I do find funny its much better than Kishi's which sucks.
Kaname Tousen= Only Black shinigami we know and out of the awesome trio of ass whooping Tousen sucks big time whilst Gin and Aizen rule. Also he got ass handed to him by the awesome char Zaraki this guy is the most boring and biggest loser of the shinigami to me sorry if I offend anyone with these remarks.
The racist thing is kind of joke I cam up with friends so dont take it too seriously but we think we might be onto something lol
I do agree however that Chad needs to do something but I doubt he will since his power just comes from Ichigo's leaking reiastu he will never amount to anything major. That useless mere human
See my profile Pic read and weep those who disagree with me
not really. he doesnt talk that much ...
Sleeping pass the Apocalypse ....
Chad is cool however he does not seem to be needed in the story, like an extra. inoue has healing and protection which makes an impact in the anime ishida has his new sparrow bow not to mention he sort off fought the 9th espada, however chad even with his new power does not seem needed
His coolest part was when he found his attack fist but now he doesn't even use it...
I'm like back-ack-ack and stuff! New interweb FTW

Corey Luebke felt the need for speed.
The ride was exhilarating, but did the extra miles per hour exact a price on the pitcher's elbow ligament?
Based on what Luebke told them, the Padres believe it did. Luebke, the club announced today, is likely to have reconstructive elbow surgery next week. The surgery will come about a month after the revved-up lefty, in a career-long outing against the Phillies, may have increased the fearsome stress loads on his elbow when he aired out several fastballs.
"Cory admitted he was really over-exerting himself," manager Bud Black told this blog. "There were a number of pitches in that game where he really tried to overpower the hitters, unlike any other time of his career. He thinks that might be the cause."
Luebke reaped a short-term gain when he rode a hot fastball past Roy Halladay and the Phillies in his fourth start this season. The lefty completed eight innings, the most in his career. As noted by this blog last month, Luebke broke tendency by throwing more fastballs deep in the count. Both his average velocity and velocity range, indeed, were season-highs, as this chart shows.
The pain in the elbow first arrived over the next two days, Black said. Luebke had a "little more elbow soreness" than normal the next two days, said Black, and didn't mention it to the pitching coaches. He made his next start, against the Giants, after which an MRI exam revealed the damaged ligament.
"I was very surprised," said pitching coach Darren Balsley.
Balsley, too, remembers Luebke throwing quite hard on April 21st against the Phillies. Attempting to explain an injury that may be more random than explainable, the coach suggested Luebke's arm "had never experienced that up here, and just couldn't take it."
Of all the injuries suffered by the Padres this year, Luebke's hit the team the hardest.
In March, the Padres guaranteed $12 million to the 27-year-old. As the baseball men say, Luebke had a "fresh arm," having thrown fewer than 600 innings as a professional. He had a delivery flaw when the Padres drafted him in 2007 but fixed it while in Single-A. When Luebke and the other pitchers reported to spring training three months ago, they were given a battery of tests that compared their strength and range of motion with their previous baseline levels. Luebke received a second examination in March to insure his contract extension.
"We were extremely thorough with him in spring training," said Jim Malone, the strength and conditioning coach. "Weeks before this (injury) happened, there was not a single thing that would indicate that would happen."
Black called the injury a "stretch of pitches event" that no one saw coming.
"All the signs pointed to health for his entire career," said Black.
Black threw more than 2,000 innings in his major league career yet never required ligament surgery. Asked to explain his left elbow's durability, Black shrugged.
"Strong ligaments?" he said.
Balsley, who called the injury a "big hit," said he can't recall the last time a homegrown Padres pitcher required Tommy John surgery during the season. He noted that Tommy John surgeries have a 90-percent success rate for pitchers and suggested Luebke could be stronger when he returns than leading up to the injury.
The Padres expect Luebke to pitch for them in 2013. Generally speaking, however, pitchers need two years to regain consistently good form after Tommy John surgery. Under the deal he agreed to in March, Luebke is guaranteed $12 million through 2015 with club options in 2016-17 that could bring the total value to $27.75 million.

STOCKTON - She was described as the golden child. Patricia Lopez was on track to be the first in her family to go to college.
STOCKTON - She was described as the golden child. Patricia Lopez was on track to be the first in her family to go to college.
Her parents had lofty goals for the outstanding math and science student at West High School in Tracy, who attended Advanced Placement classes.
But Patricia Lopez carried a secret with her that was revealed too late - a secret turned deadly and tragic.
On Tuesday, now 19, she sat dressed in orange jailhouse clothes, next to her defense attorney, to hear the consequences of the night she killed her newborn baby after having concealed the pregnancy from her parents.
"I would like to apologize to my parents for putting us in this situation," Lopez said during her sentencing hearing Tuesday. "They've done everything for me. I was young, but that doesn't justify what I did."
Lopez was sentenced to 15 years to life for second-degree murder in San Joaquin County Superior Court.
Lopez, then 17, stabbed her newborn baby, identified in court papers as Baby Jane Doe, to death after giving birth on the bathroom floor of her family's home in Holt, a small farming community west of Stockton and north of Tracy. She was home alone while her parents worked.
The teen's secret was revealed when she received medical care for complications related to childbirth days later. Lopez was arrested Feb. 8, 2011.
Before she was sentenced, Chief Deputy Public Defender Miriam Lyell asked the court to consider Lopez's age and that she had admitted to committing the crime.
Prosecutor Claire Van Vuren accepted those factors but argued that Lopez originally lied to authorities and later gave inconsistent statements.
She didn't admit to stabbing the baby 10 times or cutting her throat, Van Vuren said.
A psychiatric report was submitted to the court. Lopez told the doctor she concealed her pregnancy because she feared her father's reaction.
Her father had high academic expectations of her, according to Lopez. She didn't want to disappoint him further, since he had already learned Lopez's older sister had become pregnant.
Lopez was expected to go to college, and she wanted to become a doctor.
Lopez said she had been sexually abused as a child, although the perpetrator was not identified in court.
The evaluation was submitted, not to justify the murder, Lyell said, but to provide the state insight into Lopez's situation.
The report said Lopez took her newborn's life in a state of depersonalization, a feeling of watching herself doing something in which she has no control.
Van Vuren, however, believes Lopez exaggerated her father's verbal "abuse" and also said that apart from the evaluation report, there has been no other indication Lopez had been sexually molested.
Van Vuren said computer and cellphone records show the teen had been researching abortions months before she gave birth.
"She knew she had options; ... the defendant knew she did not want to have that baby," Van Vuren said.
The sequence of steps Lopez took to cover her crime indicates she was well aware of her actions, Van Vuren said.
Pathology reports indicate Baby Jane Doe had been stabbed 10 times and her neck had been sliced.
Van Vuren said Lopez cleaned up the bloody mess and buried the baby near the family's home.
"She clearly had the ability to control her behavior," Van Vuren said.
Lopez's friends and relatives had hoped for court leniency and submitted letters in her support.
Rev. Dean McFalls of St. Mary's Church, who attended the sentencing, believes Lopez panicked out of fear and lost her senses.
"I don't see any trace of malice or hardness of heart in her," McFalls said. "And I consider myself a pro-life priest, but I'm also pro-life for Patricia."
Superior Court Judge William Johnson sentenced Lopez according to the terms of a plea deal reached in June.
"I don't think we'll ever know why this violent, awful crime occurred," he said.
Lopez could have had an abortion, placed her child up for adoption or dropped her off at a fire station or hospital, Johnson said.
"You're always going to carry with you the cross that you bear," Johnson said. "You killed your baby."
He advised her to take advantage of rehabilitation programs in prison so she can go on with her life constructively.
Recently, Lopez completed her high school diploma while in jail with the help of Tracy Unified School District teacher Richard Soto, who said she plans to seek a college degree in prison.
Lopez will be eligible for parole after serving a minimum of 15 years, but she will receive credit for the nearly 18 months she has been in San Joaquin County Jail.

The Doctrine of Discovery, 1493
View this item in the Collection.
The Papal Bull "Inter Caetera," issued by Pope Alexander VI on May 4, 1493, played a central role in the Spanish conquest of the New World. The document supported Spain's strategy to ensure its exclusive right to the lands discovered by Columbus the previous year. It established a demarcation line one hundred leagues west of the Azores and Cape Verde Islands and assigned Spain the exclusive right to acquire territorial possessions and to trade in all lands west of that line. All others were forbidden to approach the lands west of the line without special license from the rulers of Spain. This effectively gave Spain a monopoly on the lands in the New World.
The Bull stated that any land not inhabited by Christians was available to be "discovered," claimed, and exploited by Christian rulers and declared that "the Catholic faith and the Christian religion be exalted and be everywhere increased and spread, that the health of souls be cared for and that barbarous nations be overthrown and brought to the faith itself." This "Doctrine of Discovery" became the basis of all European claims in the Americas as well as the foundation for the United States' western expansion. In the US Supreme Court in the 1823 case Johnson v. McIntosh, Chief Justice John Marshall's opinion in the unanimous decision held "that the principle of discovery gave European nations an absolute right to New World lands." In essence, American Indians had only a right of occupancy, which could be abolished.
The Bull Inter Caetera made headlines again throughout the 1990s and in 2000, when many Catholics petitioned Pope John Paul II to formally revoke it and recognize the human rights of indigenous "non-Christian peoples."
An English translation is available.
Wherefore, as becomes Catholic kings and princes, after earnest consideration of all matters, especially of the rise and spread of the Catholic faith, as was the fashion of your ancestors, kings of renowned memory, you have purposed with the favor of divine clemency to bring under your sway the said mainlands and islands with their residents and inhabitants and to bring them to the Catholic faith. Hence, heartily commending in the Lord this your holy and praiseworthy purpose, and desirous that it be duly accomplished, and that the name of our Savior be carried into those regions, we exhort you very earnestly in the Lord and by your reception of holy baptism, whereby you are bound to our apostolic commands, and by the bowels of the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, enjoy strictly, that inasmuch as with eager zeal for the true faith you design to equip and despatch this expedition, you purpose also, as is your duty, to lead the peoples dwelling in those islands and countries to embrace the Christian religion; nor at any time let dangers or hardships deter you therefrom, with the stout hope and trust in your hearts that Almighty God will further your undertakings. And, in order that you may enter upon so great an undertaking with greater readiness and heartiness endowed with benefit of our apostolic favor, we, of our own accord, not at your instance nor the request of anyone else in your regard, but out of our own sole largess and certain knowledge and out of the fullness of our apostolic power, by the authority of Almighty God conferred upon us in blessed Peter and of the vicarship of Jesus Christ, which we hold on earth, do by tenor of these presents, should any of said islands have been found by your envoys and captains, give, grant, and assign to you and your heirs and successors, kings of Castile and Leon, forever, together with all their dominions, cities, camps, places, and villages, and all rights, jurisdictions, and appurtenances, all islands and mainlands found and to be found, discovered and to be discovered towards the west and south, by drawing and establishing a line from the Arctic pole, namely the north, to the Antarctic pole, namely the south, no matter whether the said mainlands and islands are found and to be found in the direction of India or towards any other quarter, the said line to be distant one hundred leagues towards the west and south from any of the islands commonly known as the Azores and Cape Verde. With this proviso however that none of the islands and mainlands, found and to be found, discovered and to be discovered, beyond that said line towards the west and south, be in the actual possession of any Christian king or prince up to the birthday of our Lord Jesus Christ just past from which the present year one thousand four hundred ninety-three begins. And we make, appoint, and depute you and your said heirs and successors lords of them with full and free power, authority, and jurisdiction of every kind; with this proviso however, that by this our gift, grant, and assignment no right acquired by any Christian prince, who may be in actual possesssion of said islands and mainlands prior to the said birthday of our Lord Jesus Christ, is hereby to be understood to be withdrawn or taking away. Moreover we command you in virtue of holy obedience that, employing all due diligence in the premises, as you also promise—nor do we doubt your compliance therein in accordance with your loyalty and royal greatness of spirit—you should appoint to the aforesaid mainlands and islands worthy, God-fearing, learned, skilled, and expeienced men, in order to instruct the aforesaid inhabitants and residents in the Catholic faith and train them in good morals. Furthermore, under penalty of excommunication "late sententie" to be incurred "ipso facto," should anyone thus contravene, we strictly forbid all persons of whatsoever rank, even imperial and royal, or of whatsoever estate, degree, order, or condition, to dare without your special permit or that of your aforesaid heirs and successors, to go for the purpose of trade or any other reason to the islands or mainlands, found and to be found, discovered and to be discovered, towards the west and south, by drawing and establishing a line from the Arctic pole to the Antarctic pole, no matter whether the mainlands and islands, found and to be found, lie in the direction of India or toward any other quarter whatsoever, the said line to be distant one hundred leagues towards the west and south, as is aforesaid, from any of the islands commonly known as the Azores and Cape Verde; apostolic constitutions and ordinances and other decrees whatsoever to the contrary notwithstanding. We trust in Him from whom empires and governments and all good things proceed, that, should you, with the Lord's guidance, pursue this holy and praiseworthy undertaking, in a short while your hardships and endeavors will attain the most felicitious result, to the happiness and glory of all Christendom.

Cameras didn't scare off so-called bullies at a Maryland high school who were so bold they attacked a teen right in front of a TV news crew.
Preston Deener, a sophomore at Brunswick High School in Frederick County, said he was suspended last week for fighting back against a bully. Because of the suspension, Deener, 15, was not allowed to attend the homecoming dance.
Deener was attacked again Monday as he was getting ready to be interviewed by WHAG, a Hagerstown TV station, about the alleged bullying and his suspension.
Just before cameras started rolling, three boys approached Deener. One hit him on the head and chased him across a busy street.
"I was shocked," the WHAG reporter said of the attack. "They didn't even care that I was standing there and yelling at them."
Deener told News4's Erika Gonzalez that he wasn't expecting that, either. "One of them hit me in my head, in the back of my head," he said. "It hurt."
The school said it's working on identifying those involved. Their faces were caught on video.
"A full investigation is under way," Michael Doerrer of Frederick County Public Schools told WHAG. "That's step number one, to find out what's going on.... I think bullying is a problem at many schools around the country. It's not just in Frederick County."
Preston Deener's mother, Cheryl, said her son has been bullied since the sixth grade, and enough is enough.
"They have to make sure this stops now before someone gets seriously hurt or even killed, and I hope to God it's not my child," she said.
Deener is otherwise a typical high schooler. He studies hard and participates in sports -- but these days, he doesn't really look forward to going to school.
Last week, he said, another boy tackled him in gym class. Deener said he fought back for the first time. He was suspended, but the other student wasn't.
Deener, his friends and family said they planned to wear orange on Wednesday for Bullying Prevention Awareness Month. They're also going to have their own homecoming dance this Friday. About 150 people are expected to attend.

First of all, did the above go through and, if so, does the translation read:
The wise ones of long ago have not died but they always teach.
I should say that I am using a book called Ancient Greek: A New Approach

The bed is '67 Ranger, grille is '63 F-350, and the seat is now something I picked up from an '85 F-150. Eileen is currently going under the knife again and now sports a whole slew of goodies under the hood. The 292 is no more and has been modified to a 309 with forged rods, forged crank, and forged Probe dome pistons. Why all the new forged parts? Well, for the new 300 hp Zex fogger plate system, of course! I was lucky enough to get in touch with John Mummert (aka "the Y-Block Guru") and found a TON of aftermarket speed parts offered for the old Y-Block engines. With any luck, you'll see the pics in the next week or so but the only real changes you're going to see are under the hood. This is my parts hauler, after all, and will be kept as my sleeper truck. With all the work, I'm hoping for an honest 700 rwhp when dyno day comes soon.
No AC, no radio, no 4-way flashers, no reverse lights, no fancy wipers, no power steering, and the heat is compliments of the headers running just beneath my feet. Security system? Well, I do have a "Folsom State Prison" sticker in the back window so not too many people are ballsy enough to violate her. Who could ask for more from a truck?

*** (out of four)
Repairing roads with little to generate excitement, Alvin (Paul Rudd) and Lance (Emile Hirsch) bicker about the use of their boombox. Lance wants energizing music; Alvin wants his instructional German tapes, in preparation for an upcoming trip with his girlfriend, Lance's sister Madison.
"The equal time boombox agreement doesn't apply in this case," Alvin says. In a world of compromise, there's always an exception.
That truth also applies to "Prince Avalanche," the first time in years that writer-director David Gordon Green ("George Washington," "Your Highness," "The Sitter") has delivered a movie with passion, not just a weak Hollywood cash-in. Not much happens in "Avalanche," with a minimalism somewhat similar to (and better utilized in) the work of Kelly Reichardt ("Wendy and Lucy," "Meek's Cutoff"). The film takes place in 1988, a year after 43,000 acres and 1,600 homes mysteriously burned. Alvin enjoys the quiet of abandoned streets and woods. Lance whines about loneliness and doesn't hesitate to pleasure himself with his sole colleague/boss sleeping a few inches away. You gotta do what you gotta do, I guess.
Requiring patience and withholding payoff as long as possible, "Avalanche" is about how people need companionship but often push others away when they get it. Adapting the Icelandic film "Either Way," Green depicts feelings as dangerous but inevitable—Lance's efforts toward sexual satisfaction can't help but run across a girl, and an old friend, who generate far more complication than a standard one-night stand.
All the while, the guys figure out how to pass the time, separately or together, in the ashen territory. Hirsch and Rudd are both very good and very funny without ever pushing the comedy too hard. Death is so sad, so final, and life is so absurd, the movie seems to say. The film's full weight ultimately feels just out of reach, but for a small story about isolation, that mood is fitting.
Watch Matt on "You & Me This Morning," Friday at 6:55 a.m. on WCIU, the U

Financial Times: Winding down Fannie and FreddiePosted by on November 21, 2013
It has been five years since Lehman Brothers collapsed and longer since the US subprime bubble burst. Yet plans to reform Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac – the government-sponsored behemoths that underwrite the US housing market – are little nearer to completion. Both Republicans and the Obama administration agree on the need to wind these entities down. Just not quite yet.
Now a group of activist investors are agitating Washington to privatise their key mortgage insurance functions. Last week they raised their equity stakes in the two enterprises. Their business plans no doubt add up nicely – Fannie and Freddie have returned to solid profitability in the past two years. But a sell-off would make little sense from the taxpayer's point of view. The US has already privatised too many gains and socialised too many losses. It is past time for Washington to start the liquidation of Fannie and Freddie.
The temptation will clearly be to let things drift on for a while longer. Having pumped $187bn into Fannie and Freddie in 2008, the US government has now been more than repaid in dividends and profits. This year alone, dividends from the two GSEs has reduced the US fiscal deficit by almost $100bn. Fannie and Freddie have also helped to underpin the US housing recovery by underwriting roughly two-thirds of new mortgages. Again, the temptation will be to let the apple cart roll on.
Yet the bigger the US government's exposure to the housing market the more difficult it will be to wind down Fannie and Freddie. Reforming, rather than abolishing, them would be a mistake. Among the plans in circulation is a bill that would replace the GSEs with a smaller agency that would guarantee mortgage lenders against "catastrophic loss" defined as 10 per cent of principal. The Obama administration also wants to continue with the 30-year mortgage loan – a unique feature of the US housing market. Finally, it wants to maintain support for mortgages to low-income borrowers.
The first two goals are unnecessary and risky. There is no reason the US taxpayer should be on the hook for the next housing bubble. If there is a market for mortgage guarantees, then it will emerge. There is no need for Washington to keep inventing one. The Great Depression conditions that led to the agencies' creation have lost all relevance. Nor should the US government shield borrowers from the effects of monetary policy. No other country allows borrowers to lock in fixed-rate 30-year mortgages and then to refinance their loans when rates fall. Nor should the US. Instead of insuring against risk, it incentivises risk taking. Again, if a market exists for 30-year fixed paper, let it develop. Washington's role should be confined to regulation.
There is a stronger case for retaining support for low-income home ownership. But Fannie and Freddie are highly imperfect vessels to deliver it. Low-income support should come by targeted and explicit subsidy rather than an implicitly government-backed market. Fannie and Freddie's 2008 bankruptcy is sufficient testament to how easily others can game the system. By the time the meltdown hit, the two agencies were backing a majority of subprime mortgages. Never again should the US taxpayer have to step in.
Selling the business off to private investors is the worst option of all. Whatever Washington's protestations, the market would be likely to treat the agencies as implicitly guaranteed. The original design flaws would persist in a new form. Washington should sell off Fannie and Freddie's assets to the highest bidders. But the core business should be closed down. To avoid disruptions, the process should be gradual and phased. But that is no excuse for waiting. It is time to bring the curtain down on Fannie and Freddie.

Mayor development: Growth and a Manchester city office
May 22. 2013 6:49PM
Manchester used to have a full-time economic development director. He resigned in November. Economic development in Manchester did not come to a halt. The city might have done a study to determine whether it really needs an economic development director, but studies cost money. Instead, the mayor transferred economic development work to his office. On Tuesday the aldermen codified that move, which was a good call.
The vote to make the economic development office officially a part of the mayor's office was 11-2. Democratic Aldermen Garth Corriveau and Patrick Arnold voted against it, with Arnold (who is running against Republican Mayor Ted Gatsas this fall), making the point that the move could politicize the economic development functions of city government.
There is always a risk that a politician will politicize anything he touches. The flip side is that bureaucrats are not always as helpful and responsive as are officials who are directly accountable to voters.
A benefit to having economic development run out of the mayor's office (as is done in many other cities) is that mayors can be held more directly responsible for economic development efforts. From now on, candidates for that office will have to propose plans for stimulating economic growth, and voters can hold them accountable for successes and failures — to the extent that an economic development office actually affects growth, which brings us back to our original point.
There is some evident value in having an office that serves as the single point of contact within city government for business owners and managers. Not evident is that such an office should employ a civil servant tasked with recruiting businesses and otherwise being the chief city cheerleader. Aldermen should consider studying just what an economic development office should do and how much value it really provides the taxpayers.

Bert Macklin is back, baby!
On Thursday's episode of Parks and Recreation, Andy Dwyer (Chris Pratt) will realize his dream of always being Bert Macklin, aka becoming a police officer.
Exclusive Videos: Parks and Recreation's Andy Dwyer presents the facts — sometimes
"Andy is definitely pursuing a career in law enforcement, and so far that's created some really great stuff," Pratt tells TVGuide.com. "Andy has to train physically because, despite the hard candy shell, he's a little soft, so he's gotta run and train."
Andy will enlist the help of both Tom (Aziz Ansari) and Chris (Rob Lowe) in order to buff up. While Chris seems to be a natural choice, Tom's the wild card — and that's for a reason. "Of course Tom knows nothing about fitness or anything, but he's just doing it so he can get this really cool golf cart that they have," Ansari reveals.
Parks and Recreation Scoop: Leslie's about to get a rude awakening
Both Pratt and Nick Offerman hope that Ron Swanson will step up to help Andy, as he's done in the past. "I imagine that he'll be available for fatherly advice, and he probably knows the best places to get donuts and coffee and could send Andy there," Offerman jokes. "Maybe there will be a firearm safety episode where Ron walks Andy through cleaning his sidearm." We can't imagine that going over well.

Police capture man they say tried to escape
Police capture man they say tried to escape
LOUISVILLE, Ky. —
Louisville Metro Police have arrested a man who they said tried to escape custody as he was being taken to jail.
Police said officers were transferring 23-year-old Mitchell McMillin to Louisville Metro Corrections when he ran out of the facility.
According to an arrest citation, officers saw McMillin running and demanded he stop.
Officers were able to catch up to McMillin, but police said he shoved an officer in the chest and threw a punch in an attempt to run again.
Police then caught up to McMillin and apprehended him at the intersection of Sixth and Liberty streets.
McMillin was charged with fleeing or evading police, assaulting a police officer, resisting arrest and escape.

I am wondering if anyone here has used or even heard of a product called Pointsec® for PC . I met with the sales guys a few months ago and got the "our system is unbreakable" story. Whenever I hear those words I tend to tune out for the rest of the meeting. Anyways, My CIO is invoking the 'Golden Rule' (he who has the gold makes the rules), and has asked me to bring in a copy and test it out.
If anyone has got any experience or comments about the product, I'd sure like to hear it.Pointsec's award winning enterprise security product, Pointsec® for PC, ensures that the intellectual property stored on your laptops and desktops remains private and secure.

WHEREAS, the Island is blessed with many individuals who give of their time and expertise to fulfill the needs of the Island, and
WHEREAS, many of the residents must rely on the local services, local governance and local resources to address their needs, and
