Holley 850 & 950 Street HP
Street HPs have been around for a while in 650- and 750-cfm versions, and have gained a reputation for great performance at a great price, and now they're available in 850 and 950 versions. Although they are called Street HPs, they are equally at home on the track. They feature the popular Holley HP Series race-ready main body, but are calibrated for street/strip duty. The base plate also has several vacuum ports to cover PCV, power brakes, and other vacuum-driven accessories. Other features include mechanical secondaries for optimum tire-turning performance, power valve blow-out protection, non-stick gaskets, adjustable air bleeds, four-corner idle system, Ford kick-down, and down-leg boosters. And now for the best news: All this hard-core performance is available at a bargain price that will blow your doors off. The 850-cfm version, PN 0-82851, sells for $526.99 (Summit), and the 950 (PN 0-82951) is a steal at $542.39. It's like Christmas all over again!
New EQ Aluminum Head
If our prior experience with EQ cylinder heads is any indication, EQ's new aluminum cylinder head, dubbed the AC200BS, will be a grand slam. Two years ago, we built a Vortec-based 350 using EQ's cast-iron heads. The total bill, including the core engine, was about $3,400, and we pulled out 448 flywheel horsepower on 91-octane pump gas. The guys at EQ have been at it again, and they've got an improved aluminum version for standard small-blocks. Unlike their previous cylinder heads, the new AC200BS (and their cast-iron CH350 head) are now available assembled as an option. The bare castings are $449, or $539 assembled (suggested retail). Actual street price will be less. Specs on the lightweight head: 197cc intake runners, 65cc combustion chambers, 2.02/1.60-inch valves, straight plug, phosphor bronze guides, and up to 500 hp out of the box. Using a 9.5:1 ZZ4-based 350 engine and a dual-plane intake, these heads have made 411 hp and 415 lb-ft of torque on pump gas. Intake flow as measured by Shaver Specialty Engines peaked at 231 cfm at .500-inch lift. We'd like to get our hands on a set of these heads for a budget build, so stay tuned.

Dynamat Custom Kits
The Dynamat line of sound insulation products has been very popular with hot rodders who want to moderate the sound and vibration from engine and road noise. In the past, the use of the product has required custom measuring and cutting by the user, but Dynamat has now come up with application-specific kits that are precision-cut by a CNC machine, taking all the guesswork out. This will help the enthusiast who wants to know how much of the Dynamat Xtreme product to order-a difficult thing to calculate for a first-time user. Currently, Dynamat has seven applications, but they plan to offer a lot more in the coming months.
Vehicle Application List:
1964-1968 Ford Mustang
1967-1981 Chevy Camaro, Pontiac Firebird
1956-1982 Corvette
1955-1957 Chevrolet, fullsize
1964-1972 Chevelle and GM A-body
1970-1974 Dodge Challenger
1970-1974 Plymouth Barracuda
Black Series ShockWave
Since its introduction in 1999, the ShockWave has proven to be a significant development in air suspensions. With billet bodies and adjustable damping, the Shockwave air suspension has become a favorite of both track rats and car show winners. Now with the tough economy, Ride Tech has decided a more economical model is in order. The Black series is not only an affordable option for air suspension, it's also the easiest way to install air suspension on your vehicle. The new Black series ShockWaves are designed around a quality steel body twin-tube non-adjustable shock absorber, combined with quality Firestone bellows. This makes an exceptional product that will stand the test of time. Systems start at $600.
SRP Pistons
In these tough times JE Pistons has decided that their popular SRP Professional piston kits will now include piston skirt coating at no extra charge. Every SRP Professional piston kit already includes several features used in top-level professional racing engines, such as a lightweight side relief (FSR) forgings, high-quality wrist pins, and precision CNC-machined ring grooves. Every SRP Professional piston kit also includes a high-performance JE Pro Seal Ring set. This set uses a 1.2mm steel LS7-style top ring, a 1.5mm Napier (hooked face) second ring, and 3mm oil ring. According to SRP, their Professional ring package is superior to the "cheap" ringset included with other piston kits, and can provide up to 60 percent less wear. SRP also claims their Professional pistons and rings are compatible with nitrous and forced induction and have been dyno proven to provide up to a 12 hp gain and 20 percent weight savings over other aftermarket forged pistons.
Digital ValveSpring Tester
Thanks to Proform's new digital valvespring tester, you can check the valvespring force of your cylinder heads with the heads bolted to the block. This cool tool can save you time and money, removing the aggravation of tearing apart your top end to check your springs. This adjustable digital valvespring force tester (PN 67601, $294.39 from Summit) is available with a digital force readout from zero to 600 pounds. According to Proform, the base of the tool can be adjusted to fit all common aluminum rocker lengths and offsets. The digital gauge displays force in 5-pound increments with peak hold and backlighting features. This looks like a tough tool; it's made from billet aluminum with a knurled handle area for a positive grip. Black anodizing protects the surface, with the bright readout powered by a single 9-volt battery.
B&M Street/Strip
Does your motor sound like it's going to explode at 55 mph while trying to keep up with traffic? Do you measure your mileage by gallons per mile instead of miles per gallon? If so, B&M thinks they might have the solution for you with their new 4L80E automatic overdrive. B&M's Street/Strip 4L80E transmission is a complete ready-to-run unit (less converter) for high-performance street and mild strip use, although we'd have to say that anything built for 800 hp is probably far from mild on the dragstrip. The transmission is said to provide firm shifts and feature a standard shift pattern. In any case, B&M's 800hp unit can be used with their Compushift Controller, which you'll need unless you've got a late-model car that already has a 4L80E. B&M's website offers the '93-96 version (PN 118001) for $1,874.25, and the '97-up version (PN 118002) for $2,008.13.
B&M 4L80E Features
• 34-element intermediate sprag
• High-energy intermediate band
• New overdrive sprag assembly
• New low roller assembly
• Performance frictions
• All new solenoids and wiring harness
• Recalibrated valve body
• Performance pump assembly
• Steel forward hub

The Central Connecticut men's soccer team dropped a heartbreaking 2-1 decision to Bryant in the final seconds of the second overtime period Sunday afternoon. Central ends their season 8-8-2 overall and 6-3-1 in Northeast Conference play. Sunday's match was Senior Day for the eight 2012 Blue Devil seniors.
Seniors James Perkins, Ben Walsh, Mamoudou Dioubate, Thomas Obasi, Steven Bailey, Anthony Occhialini, Reece Wilson, and Jesse Menzies were all honored before the match as it was their last game in uniform for the Blue Devils.
Wilson wasted no time getting Central on the board in the first half quickly scoring his ninth goal of the season just two minutes into the game. Menzies pushed the ball up the center of the field before sending a pass to sophomore Tiago Martins down the right side. Martins drew Bryant keeper Chris Knaub then fed a cross to the left side of the box where Wilson tapped in the goal. The assist was Martins' first of the season and Menzies' fifth.
The Blue Devils overwhelmed Knaub in the first half firing 12 shots at the keeper compared to the Bulldogs' two. Both of Bryant's shot attempts in the first period were denied by Occhialini who picked up a pair of saves before the break.
Early in the second half, Central was called for a hand-ball inside of their own goal box which awarded the Bulldogs a penalty kick in the 46th minute. Connor Norat of Bryant lined up to attempt the free kick and fired a shot past Occhialini to knot the game at 1-1.
Just 10 minutes later in the period, Menzies was fouled hard in the Bulldog's goal box and a second penalty kick was awarded, this time to the Blue Devils. Menzies placed his shot to the right side of the goal but the attempt was stopped by Knaub. Menzies was a perfect two-for-two shooting penalty kicks this season before the failed attempt.
The two teams wrapped up regulation tied at one apiece and 20 more minutes were needed to decide the match. Central out shot Bryant once again in the second period 10 shots to five.
After a scoreless first overtime period, the two squads remained even at 1-1 and entered the second and final overtime period of the match.
In the closing seconds of the game, Brett Larocque sealed the victory for the Bulldogs punching in the game-winning score with three seconds left. The goal came off of a Bryant throw-in with 15 seconds on the clock. The ball was batted around inside of the box until Larocque took advantage of the vacated goal and put the Blue Devils away with the hearbreaking score.
Occhialini finished the game with four saves and played every minute in the box for Central in his final game as the Blue Devil's keeper. He ended his 2012 season with an 8-7-2 overall record.
The Blue Devils finished their 2012 campaign 8-8-2 overall and 6-3-1 in NEC play. Their 19 points was good for a fourth place finish in the regular season.

Five professors at UMass Lowell's Center for Network and Information Security (CNIS) have received more than $1.3 million in grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF) this academic year. The funds will help support projects designed not only to enhance wireless connectivity and computer-science education but also help protect our national cyber infrastructure.
"The number of cyber crimes has increased dramatically as mobile computing, wireless networks and the Internet become pervasive and ubiquitous," says Prof. Jie Wang, chair of the Computer Science Department and director of the CNIS. "Common cyber crimes include sexual exploitation of children, identity theft, intellectual property theft, financial fraud and industrial espionage, to name just a few."
For example, last December, hackers in China used stealth programming and exploited a weakness in Internet Explorer to launch coordinated, highly sophisticated attacks on Google, Adobe and dozens of other high-profile companies to steal intellectual property.
And in February, authorities arrested three Spaniards suspected of infecting 13 million computers in more than 190 countries with a program that allowed them to steal personal and financial data. These incidents are just the latest examples of the ongoing worldwide battle against cyber crime.
The NSF grant recipients and their projects are:
In addition, Fu and Liu have been notified by the NSF that the agency is interested in recommending for funding their Course Curriculum and Laboratory Improvement proposal to create learning materials and strategies for network forensics education. The project is expected to bring in an additional $188,000.
Wang says digital forensics research aims to develop techniques for carrying out investigation of alleged crimes and violations involving digital data.
"Cyber forensics is a fast-growing area and serves a critical role in industry, federal and state law enforcement, and other national cyber-defense forces," he says. That is why the CNIS is proposing the creation of a Cyber Forensics Laboratory on campus for complex cyber crime-scene investigations.
"We advocate cyber forensics research and education to be one of the strategic priorities at UMass Lowell," says Wang. "With our increasing reliance on the Internet and with more content being added online everyday, we envision the lab to generate long-term impact and attract substantial funding from various federal and industrial agencies."

MISENHEIMER, N.C. --- Senior Matt Harpenau (21) and sophomore Brady Markle (20) registered at least 20 kills while LMC held off a furious rally to win an exciting five-set bout against Conference Carolina foe Pfeiffer, 25-21, 25-19, 18-25, 23-25, 20-18 Friday afternoon at Merner Gym in Misenheimer, N.C.
The Bobcats (6-4, 2-2 CC) won their third five-set match of the season and fended off two match points after trailing 13-10 in the final set. The Falcons (4-6, 3-2) had three players notch at least 11 kills and hit a remarkable .500 in the third set.
LMC led wire-to-wire in the opener and took a 9-4 lead following a Markle (York, Pa.) kill. The Bobcats kept PU at bay as their lead balloon to six, 18-12 after consecutive kills from the sophomore.
The Falcons' David Specian sliced the deficit to four, 21-17, with a kill of his own, but LMC received a key block from John Lucas (Cincinnati, Ohio) to distance itself in the opener, 25-21.
A pair of Harpenau (Cincinnati, Ohio) kills knotted the second set at 11. LMC responded with an 11-4 run that was capped off by a service error from PU's Sonny Hirini. Harpenau chimed in with a kill, a solo block and block assist during the spurt.
Both squads would exchange kills before a Bobcat ace secured the second set, 25-19.
Neither team was efficient in the set while both failed to hit better than .115.
Pfeiffer turned the tide with a 6-2 run in the middle of the third to force a LMC timeout while holding a 19-13 lead.
The Falcons spread the ball wisely while seven players earned a kill in the 25-18 victory.
The Bobcats' Lucas smashed one of his six kills to tie the fourth at 10.
Pfeiffer responded with a 6-2 run, backed by a Hirini kill.
LMC would claw back into it and would cut the deficit to one on four occasions, but could never reclaim the lead and fell 25-23, forcing the winner-take-all.
The fifth set provided much entertainment with 11 ties, while neither squad led by more than three.
Randy Ramirez (Guaynabo, Puerto Rico) skillfully placed one of his four kills to swing the momentum, despite the Bobcats trailing by two, 13-11.
The Falcons looked poised to complete the comeback, but Harpenau drilled three kills, each while LMC was facing match point.
The duo of Kevin Morrison (Norfolk, Va.) and Harpenau sealed the victory with a kill each.
Ramirez dished out 49 assists while Harpenau (11) and Efrain Negron (Caguas, Puerto Rico) (10) recorded double-digit digs. The Bobcats registered 16 total team blocks.
PU's Michael Brewer and Hirini chipped in with 17 kills each while Specian delivered 54 assists.
LMC steps out of conference to host Coker Saturday at 2 p.m. at Williams Gymnasium.

Kevin Gauna, Project Engineer at the California Lighting Technology Center,
breaks down the science behind solid-state light sources.
ResidentialLighting.com: What are LEDs?
Kevin Guana: A light-emitting diode or an LED is a small semi-conductor chip
often less than one millimeter square. Just as you would run a current through
a filament in an incandescent light bulb, you can run current through a semi-conductor
chip, and it emits light in the visible spectrum. So, you've got this
very small chip and these little wires that go to the chip, what happens now
is we make a lead frame package that supports the wires and holds the chip in
place. This is the substrate of an LED. It's typically a little piece
of metal with a lead coming off of it and another piece of metal with a wire
that connects to the other side of the LED. That whole thing gets encapsulated
in an epoxy or clear silicon. That individual package is called an LED, and
it's essentially a miniature light bulb.
RL: How do they work?
KG: When you pass current through the LED, it doesn't get hot like a
filament in an incandescent light bulb gets hot. An LED produces light through
a completely different physical process. It's an electronic process essentially,
and the details aren't important here. The main thing to understand is
that since the chip itself isn't getting white hot, it's simply
producing light directly from the current that's passing through it. The
whole thing gets encapsulated into that epoxy, and there's no air gap
inside it. If you look at an LED, there's usually a little dome or lens
of some sort as part of that package, but the whole thing is solid. That's
where we get the term solid-state lighting.
Most of the time we cluster that individual LED with other similar LEDs on
a circuit board, and that package is called an LED array. To power the array,
we need an electronic driver. The electricity can come straight from your standard
wall jack, and the electronic driver conditions the 120V AC electrical power
and sends it to the LED array in a form that's appropriate, usually DC.
The whole thing — the LED array, the electronic driver and any reflectors
or lenses that are added to provide a very specific light distribution —
gets put into some sort of housing that brings everything together. You sell
that as the luminaire: your table lamp or your downlight.

Margaret Little
Revealing the struggles of Canadian women living in poverty
When Margaret Little was a masters student at Queen's, she was a regular volunteer at Bridge House, a temporary shelter in Kingston for women in crisis. Often the women's partners were in prison, and the women themselves were receiving some form of social assistance. Many of them spoke to Little, who had once been a journalist and had no problem getting people to open up. She was amazed at how challenging their lives were – and she vowed to learn more about them.
That was more than 25 years ago. Today, Little is a professor of Gender Studies and Political Studies at Queen's, and one of Canada's leading activist scholars on single women living in poverty.
Her first book, No Car, No Radio, No Liquor Permit: The Moral Regulation of Single Mothers in Ontario, 1920-1997, chronicles how years of Ontario government policy has worked against low-income single mothers and effectively denied them the same rights and liberties as other Ontarians. In the early days of social assistance, single moms had to prove they were "fit and proper." They were not allowed to own a car, a radio or a liquor permit. Neighbours would watch them closely and report all a single mother's activities to the welfare administrators.
Although the welfare rules have altered over time, some of the same attitudes towards low income single moms exist today. For more than 30 years, welfare rates have been too low to cover rent, food, utility bills and other necessities of life. "You can't survive on the welfare rate," explains Little. "If you pay the rent, you can't feed your kids."
Making matters worse, a welfare-fraud hotline established by the Conservative government of Mike Harris in the 1990s still exists today. "Anyone who has a grudge against a single mom on welfare can call this hotline anonymously and jeopardize a mom's welfare cheque," says Little. Welfare recipients are always looking over their shoulders for doing things that most Canadians take for granted – as Little found while working at Bridge house.
"I'd ask someone to come and have a beer or a coffee with me, but they'd say they couldn't because someone might see them spending money on drink and report them to the welfare authorities," recalls Little. "I thought, 'oh my gosh, they feel like they're living in a police state.'"
Since then, through interviews with hundreds of low-income women across Canada, Little has gathered stories and gained insight into federal and provincial social policies that often perpetuate the very problems they're supposed to solve.
In her spare time, Little works on three projects: white feminist racism; abused women's experiences of Canadian housing policy; and First Nations women's experience of violence and Canadian social policy.

On this very date in 1607, after a month of extremely hard labor, 104 exhausted settlers finished constructing the first fort at Jamestown (the colony):Jamestown (the game) took almost two years to build with a core staff of just 3 people, so… this analogy could use some work. STILL! We felt that this would be an appropriate day to take a quick break from our post-release duties and shout the following message from the rooftops:
Not only is the game out, but people have been playing it and writing what they think about it! On the internet! Here's a sampling from the first batch of reviews (emphasis ours):
"As for the game proper, it's just a class act. The range of enemies, the design of them, the placing of them, the way they burst in a shower of nuts and bolts that you'll want to collect, the way the guns feel, the music, the pacing, it's all fabulous." – Rock, Paper, Shotgun
"The environments, the enemies, the troops fighting in the background – every single graphical element of this game is absolutely stunning, to such degree that even those who don't care for pixel art are sure to be pleased with how Jamestown looks. Every inch of the screen suggests lovingly handcrafted and passionate art, and soaring through it all was a joy." – Bits 'n Bytes Gaming
"…one thing's for sure: if you had told me that Jamestown was Final Form's first title, I wouldn't have believed it. … Accompanying the stellar design are a stellar soundtrack and sound effects. The music in Jamestown is indistinguishable from a big-budget epic soundtrack, and the game's sounds are an excellent mixture of retro and modern shoot 'em up titles." – GamerLimit
"In a world of me-too shooters plagued by uninspired presentation and flat gameplay, Jamestown is a standout, a breathtaking experience that not only hearkens back to the golden age of gaming but also smartly offers fresh game mechanics at every turn. Jamestown has rock-solid mechanics, beautiful art direction and depth of content, and it's a pure joy to play." – Press X or Die
And for those of you who think reading is so 2010, here are some of our favorite video reviews/first-looks:
ByteJacker – "I gotta tell you: this thing, with four Xbox controllers, and an HDMI out to your TV, has got to be, like, THE definition of kick-ass gaming. It's just really, really amazing."
NorthernLion – "One of the best indie games I've played this year and, as you know, I've played pretty much all of them."
Total Biscuit, The Cynical Brit – "One of these is homing! ALL OF THESE ARE HOMING!"
Our profuse thanks go out to all the writers, commentators, and pundits who spent some time with our game, and then made the effort to tell the world about it!
Overall, the response to the game has been overwhelmingly positive. Players have been going out of their way to let us know that they're having a blast playing Jamestown, which is like a firehose of warm-fuzzy-feelings right into our sleep-deprived hearts. So, to everyone who has been tweeting, posting, and emailing us with kind words: Thank you, thank you, a thousand times, thank you!
We're also thrilled and gratified by the community that's forming around the game. Watching our players help each other learn to play, post expert sessions on YouTube, stream Divine Gauntlet runs live from Japan, and energetically debate the finer points of Bomber usage in our Steam forums has been a true joy.
Finally, it should go without saying that we are extremely flattered (and somewhat taken aback) to see our little game being compared to the works of CAVE, Takumi, Treasure, and ZUN. That said, their influence on Jamestown is hopefully unmistakable; they are our heroes, after all.
Much like that very first fort at the actual Jamestown colony, the first build of our game was hardly the last. Right now, we're working hard to fix bugs, answer emails, and keep getting the word out about Jamestown. If you want to help us with that last bit, and you love the game, then please don't be shy about telling the world! Our twitter hash-tag is #jtown16xx; go nuts!
More updates to follow. Until then: thanks again, and enjoy playing!

UMass-Boston Sports Information
BOSTON, MASS. - Six different players scored as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology men's soccer team blew out host University of Massachusetts Boston, 8-0, yesterday afternoon at the Clark Athletic Center on the campus of UMass Boston. The Beacons fall to 6-10-1 on the season, while the Engineers improve to 10-2-1.
Jose Ramon Torradas and Chase Lochmiller were the only multiple goal scorers on the day for MIT with a pair of goals each. Along with Lochmiller, Christopher Barnes, Sanjay Divakaran, and Joseph Sikoscow earned the first points of their careers.
Christopher Desrochers opened the scoring for the Engineers with a header that found the back of the net at 14:36 of the first half. Ryan Sheffler took a cross from Joshua Campoverde at the 37:40 mark of the first half to make it 2-0 in favor of MIT.
MIT busted out in the second session, scoring six times. Torradas netted the half's first two goals, connecting on a pass from Christopher Barnes and then nailed a direct kick that went through the Beacons' wall. Torradas and James Zorich set up Alex Morgan 37 seconds later to give Tech a 5-0 advantage. Morgan then fed Chase Lochmiller for his first collegiate goal. Lochmiller gave Sanjay Divakaran the first assist of his career by scoring in the 80th minute. Joseph Sikoscow, a former goalie who moved to the midfield during the season, converted a penalty kick to post the first goal of his career and the final goal of the game.
In the net, Morgan Mills turned away the only shot he faced in 71:40 of action and Benjamin Pope made one save in the final 18:20 of the game.
MIT will close the regular season on Saturday, Oct. 30 when it hosts Wheaton College in a NEWMAC game at 1:00 p.m.

As classic as a denim jacket or a pair of broken-in jeans, the polo is an another unavoidable closet staple — but that doesn't mean it has to be dullsville. Boast, who has been making collared polo tops since the '70s, has been able to add a little charm and a little extra something special to break the mold. Newly relaunched in 2010 — with a collection of ties, shorts, and blazers (and even some womenswear), the brand's 2012 offerings are still a, uh, hit.
Let's get to our favorite part — that patch of green (a.k.a. the tiny little leaf) that sits atop the left side of the tee. Look familiar? No, it's not that, Cheech. It's a Japanese maple leaf, and it's been the brand's signature symbol since the company's inception. With a second collab with Minnie Mortimer on the way, and an array of updated classics with slim fits and a Hickey-esque feel, we think their logo might be set to be the next polo horse.
Plus, the Boast team certainly is playful. Indeed, the catalogue photos suggest that while the green in question might be maple, it certainly has the same effect as another plant we know. From passing out during croquet to a melon eating
hotbox car seat session, jump ahead to peep what appears to be one weekend epically under the influence — of the Royal Tenenbaums, at least. Wear responsibly.

2011 Youth Hunter Awards
The Louisiana Outdoor Writers Association (LOWA) and the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) will recognize the boy and girl selected as the 2011 Youth Hunters of the Year during the 2012 LOWA Conference Awards Banquet in Chalmette on Aug. 11.
The common thread linking these two young hunters was their participation in special youth hunts conducted on public lands.
"This shows just how important these public lands, state and federal, are to the hunters in Louisiana and points out the good work being done by LDWF, the US Fish and Wildlife Service, the US Army Corps of Engineers and the USDA Forest Service," said Kenny Ribbeck, LDWF's Wildlife Division Administrator. "Establishing hunting opportunities for the next generation of hunters is our shared goal and the Youth Hunter of the Year Program is a good fit, along with the Louisiana Hunting Heritage Program recently initiated by LDWF ."
Twelve-year-old Emily Williams from Golden Meadow is the 2011 Female Youth Hunter of the Year. Emily is the daughter of Catina and Joseph Williams. She participated in the youth deer hunt on Lake Ophelia National Wildlife Refuge in Marksville. Emily was very excited watching her first sun rise from the deer stand on a cold morning in Avoyelles Parish and the excitement only escalated when they began seeing deer and then dropped a 210-pound, eight-point in its tracks. She got quite a few thumbs up as she and her dad made the drive back home.
Seven-year-old Joseph Scooter Hayes is the 2011 Male Youth Hunter of the Year. Joseph is the son of Douglas and Jessica Hayes of Mansura. Joseph participated in the youth squirrel hunt on Spring Bayou Wildlife Management Area. With his dad as his guide, Joseph downed his first fox squirrel with his .410. As Joseph described it, "The squirrel came tumbling down to the ground and dad made the retrieve." Many baby boomer hunters can remember that first squirrel hunting experience in the Bayou State and can relate to the excitement young Joseph felt on this memorable day in the woods with his dad. His first hunt ended with a squirrel gravy that night, which he noted, "tasted really good, and LSU won their football game!"
The Youth Hunter Registry Program and the Youth Hunter of the Year Program are coordinated jointly by LOWA and LDWF. These two programs are made possible by the generous donations of the South LA Branch of the Quality Deer Management Association, the Baton Rouge Chapter of Delta Waterfowl, Andrew Harrison with Harrison Law, LLC., the Louisiana Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF), Bayou State Bowhunters Association, the Louisiana Wildlife Federation and Bowie Outfitters in Baton Rouge. The Bayou State Bowhunters Association, which is no longer operational, made a generous donation to the program prior to dissolving the group.
This year for the first time a runner-up was selected for both the male and female category. Ten-year-old Chloe Slayter of Pineville, who participated in a youth deer hunt on Buckhorn WMA, was selected as the runner-up for the Female Youth Hunter of the Year. Chloe harvested a buck and a doe and wrote that she can't wait to go hunting again.
Eleven-year-old Scott Duplechain of Thibodaux was selected as the runner-up for the Male Youth Hunter of the Year. Scott harvested his first deer with a gun when he was 10 and was given a bow for Christmas in 2011. Hunting by himself in a tree stand in January, Scott downed a nice six-point buck in Tensas Parish. He wrote that it was the best day of his life. The runners-up will receive a gift card from Bowie Outfitters in Baton Rouge.

Christian Ponder is supposed to be the Minnesota Vikings' present and future at quarterback.
Relive every game this season online and on-demand with enhanced viewing features, including the "All-22" coaches film. Get NFL Game Rewind.
He hasn't looked that way of late. The second-year pro has failed to eclipse 63 passing yards in two of the Vikings' last three games, a startling level of production that has some wondering if Ponder's job is in jeopardy.
Vikings coach Leslie Frazier said after Sunday's 30-20 loss to the Seattle Seahawks that he doesn't plan to make any changes at this time.
"I really haven't thought about pulling him for a game and taking him out for a series or anything like that," Frazier said Sunday, via ESPN Twin Cities.
Watching Sunday's game, it was jarring to see the difference between Ponder and Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson. Wilson is the rookie, but he looked confident and under control in leading the Seahawks. Ponder was quick to bail on the pocket and apprehensive about taking any chances downfield.
Frazier might not be considering a change in personnel, but it's obvious some type of adjustment is necessary. Percy Harvin's frustration with the passing game boiled over Sunday in a heated conversation with Frazier that Fox cameras captured. Meanwhile, running back Adrian Peterson's magnificent 182-yard performance went to waste.
Ponder's backup is Joe Webb, a 2010 sixth-round draft pick who already might be at his ceiling. Ponder's job is safe for now. But for how long?

CHEYENNE, Wyo. – Wyoming is a vast, beautifully rugged and sparsely populated state. Stick around long enough and you're bound to hear, more than once, its description as "a small town with really long streets."
The vintage is uncertain — the statement is variously credited to former Republican Sen. Alan Simpson and former Democratic Gov. Mike Sullivan, among others — but the depiction helps explain the close-quarters discomfort caused by Liz Cheney's surprise bid for U.S. Senate.
Cheney's father, the former vice president and a six-term Wyoming congressman, is deeply revered in the state. The incumbent senator, fellow Republican Mike Enzi, is also quite popular. The last time he ran for reelection, in 2008, he won with 76% of the vote.
The result is an improbable wedge between the Cheneys, one of the royal families of the GOP, and much of Wyoming's ruling Republican establishment. Enzi's fellow U.S. senator, John Barrasso, and the state's sole House member, Cynthia Lummis, are among those who quickly lined up behind Enzi in his primary fight.
"It is a unique strategy to live your entire life elsewhere and then come to a state a year before you're going to announce you're going to run for that state's highest office," Lummis said the day Cheney declared her candidacy. "In my opinion, Liz Cheney cannot pull this off in Wyoming and I'm disappointed that she's decided to try. She should run from Virginia."
Cheney, 47, who worked in the second Bush administration and served as a Fox News commentator, lived in the Washington suburbs until she relocated to Wyoming.
Her candidacy has strained not just political allegiances but also personal relations, resulting in one of the more head-scratching accounts of recent intraparty tensions. (Here we resist any suggestion to dub the matter Shut Up-gate.) At a recent reception in Cody, Lynne Cheney, the mother of Liz, apparently told Simpson to hush his mouth.
That was widely interpreted as an attempt to muzzle the voluble, ever-quotable ex-senator, who has also thrown his support behind the incumbent. The two men go back decades; it was Simpson who urged Enzi, then a shoe salesman and president of the Wyoming Jaycees, to enter politics.
"I believe the direct quote was 'shut your mouth' regarding his support of Mike Enzi," Simpson's daughter-in-law wrote in a Facebook post.
Not so, said a spokeswoman for Liz Cheney, Kara Ahern. She released a statement in which Lynne Cheney professed her regard for Simpson and his wife and said the episode, as depicted on Facebook, "simply did not happen."
It was actually far more complicated, according to an account Simpson published in the Cody Enterprise, his hometown paper, involving one of Liz Cheney's daughters, a benefit dinner and a football she presented Simpson that he autographed then wished to unsign.
Simpson said he was concerned the ball might be auctioned to help Cheney's campaign, confusing people about which candidate he supported.
"First, this is not about Dick Cheney. Dick Cheney and I have known each other for over 45 years. He is a dear and loyal friend who I would protect and be loyal to the end of my days," Simpson wrote.
His daughter, however, not so much. The two had a "cordial" conversation before Liz Cheney's announcement, Simpson wrote, but he declined her request to keep his public comments about the contest limited to the neutral lines of, "It's going to be a spirited race."
"I said, 'I think you're headed into a really tough race, ' " Simpson wrote. "The people who care for you now do that because of the admiration for your parents and the high regard in which they, and your whole family, are held in Wyoming -- but when you get into the real fray, it will be a whole different ballgame.' "
True enough.

If you pick BR you then have to spend 9000 gold on items to make him useful. I'm all for changing up the heroes but not with BR. Jean for Ash would own but no one ever wants to do it. Warlock and DOTM could be used just not at the same time, and DOTM would have to play like he's malf. But with BR you have to put all this money into him just to make him do something and in the end he just turns to cheesing.
And I don't know if anyone has realized this but undead could switch out DR and allies could switch out maiden and then bam, we've got a whole new ball game.

Also whats all this hating on me? I've got no problem switching up the teams I've even been br in 3 IHs, suggested him in a lot more (IMO BR can be better than inq sometimes), and have no problem switching malf for jean if jean is good. I just don't think switching up the teams (aside from malf->jean) is a good idea if the playskill is about even because then whoever doesn't switch wins badly and its no fun just getting stomped.
Also lawl@ dropping maiden on allies. "Ya lets cut down the best hero on allies in favor of the third best on UD to even things up." UD have plenty of decent replacements in pory/lock/dotm. What do allies have? Pretty much just jean. Aside from her being boat->dead even with a frosty what do you lane against rat early game? Leto/tomed sashi and then stick malf/inq or malf/br against ward/jimmy? LAWL? Can you say huge fukin lazur?
On a side note maybe dotm should start getting used more often. He sucked ass before because you could ams CTM with your eyes closed. Now people are woning for wind why not ctm? >.>

The filing deadline for the Aug. 5 primary passed at noon Monday with nobody running for the county commission seat representing Hillsboro, Durham, Lehigh, and the rural areas in between — not a Republican, not a Democrat, not a Libertarian, not even a Whig. Roger Fleming decided not to run for re-election, which is a shame. He has been a powerful voice of reason on the commission for the past four years, and when the commissioners start ribbing each other he gives as good as he gets.
This is a bigger issue than any single candidate, though. It isn't unusual for township boards, cemetery boards, or even city councils in some of the smaller towns to not have enough candidates to fill all their positions — although some small towns, such as Ramona, often have tremendous candidate turnout. A county commission seat with no candidates is another matter. Since 2008 when I arrived in the county, only one commission race has been uncontested, Randy Dallke's 2012 re-election campaign, and none have had no candidates on the ballot.
County government is no small potatoes. The commission deals with major policy and spending decisions that shouldn't be left to just anyone. The county's payables for May alone topped $1 million. Unless a serious write-in candidate steps forward, that responsibility could fall to someone whose drinking buddies think it would be funny if their friend was elected.
With the new jail built, one major dilemma for the county is dealt with, but there are more to come. What should the county do about the health department building, which now has a leaky roof? What roads will get repairs or maintenance next year? There are bound to be other unforeseen questions that will need serious consideration in the next four years.
There are plenty of reasonable, knowledgeable people in Commission District 1, and some of them are bound to have the time and interest needed to be a county commissioner. The reasonable, knowledgeable people who don't have the time should get together and draft a good candidate for a write-in campaign. That would be preferable to the alternative, where nobody gets more than a couple dozen votes and someone is elected who is uninterested — or even someone who has a personal agenda.

Albert DeSalvo
On January 4, 1964, Mary Sullivan is raped and strangled to death in her Boston apartment. The killer left a card reading "Happy New Year" leaning against her foot. Sullivan would turn out to be the last woman killed by the notorious Boston Strangler, Albert DeSalvo, who had terrorized the city between 1962 and 1964, raping and killing 13 women.
DeSalvo's serial-killing career was shaped at an early age. His father would bring home prostitutes and have sex with them in front of the family, before brutally beating his wife and children. On one occasion, DeSalvo's father knocked out his mother's teeth and then broke her fingers one by one while she lay unconscious on the floor. DeSalvo himself was sold by his father to work as a farm laborer, along with two of his sisters.
In the late 1950s, as a young man, DeSalvo acquired the first of his criminal nicknames. He knocked on the doors of young women, claiming to represent a modeling agency. He told the women that he needed to take their measurements and proceeded to crudely fondle the women as he used his tape measure. His stint as the "Measuring Man" came to an end with his arrest on March 17, 1960, and he spent nearly a year in prison. When DeSalvo was released, his next series of crimes were far worse. For nearly two years, he broke into hundreds of apartments in New England, tied up the women and sexually assaulted them. He always wore green handyman clothes during his assaults and became known as the "Green Man."
In 1962, DeSalvo started killing his victims. He strangled Anna Slesers with her own housecoat and tied the ends in a bow, which would become his trademark. Throughout the summer of 1962, DeSalvo raped and killed elderly women in Boston. However, by winter he began attacking younger women, always leaving the rope or cord used to strangle the victim in a bow. Police, who were thwarted in their attempts to stop the newly dubbed "Boston Strangler," even brought in a psychic to inspect the clothes of the victims. However, it was DeSalvo himself who enabled the police to close the case. On October 27, 1964, after raping another young woman, he suddenly stopped before killing her. When the victim called police and gave a description of her attacker, police arrested DeSalvo. While in jail, DeSalvo confessed to his cellmate George Nasser that he had committed the murders. Nasser told his attorney, F. Lee Bailey, about DeSalvo, and Bailey took on DeSalvo as a client. Under a deal with prosecutors, DeSalvo never was charged or convicted with the Boston Strangler murders, getting a life sentence instead for the Green Man rapes. Still, DeSalvo's life term was short. He was stabbed to death by a fellow inmate at Walpole State Prison on November 26, 1973.

It seems like more and more FCS programs are loading up on transfers before they jump to FBS. Is it just me, or does it seem that more and more there is just an attempt to "cheat better," rather than play by the rules?
So, we in the FCS are represented by two teams; each with a significant percentage (up to 15% of the allowed 60?) of their rosters suspended!

After almost 9 years of running a distro the Burnt Bookmobile no longer exists. Perhaps it will change name and form and resurface, with new intent and function. Where an absence is felt by this loss it is encouraged that others take on a similar project of circulating ideas, encouraging critical discourse, to find others (as many have through this project over the years) and to challenge and provoke each other to become ever powerful and potent in our lives and our thoughts, which are inseparable.
The website will remain up and archived as long as wordpress will let it.
If there are questions about how to start such a project please contact us at blowedupwisconsin at gmail dot com.
(perhaps something will be written that reflects more on the project rather than simply announcing its end in the near future.)

Only days after I left Milwaukee, the CCC got an eviction notice. I was overjoyed to hear that there was a proper eviction party, as all landlords deserve, but rarely get.
"On the evening of October 31st, hurricane Sandy swept through the space which once housed the Cream City Collectives. All of the former CCC's windows were smashed by the winds and many beer cans were not picked up.
An accountability process for hurricane Sandy's fucked up manarchist shit will be held at the next Twin Cities Anarchist Bookfair.

This event is taking place at the CCC (732 E Clarke St.) at 7pm Thursday June 14th. It is free.
Queer Ultra Violence: Bash Back! Anthology published by Ardent Press this February, is an analytical anthology that chronicles the (non)organization and militant queer tendency known as Bash Back! Although short lived, Bash Back! had an astonishing impact on both radical and queer organizing in the United States. Bash Back! took on gay assimilation, anti-queer violence, the queer radical establishment, and capitalism with a queer struggle that rejected traditional identity politics. The anthology compiles essays, interviews, and communiqués to document the new queer tendency spawned by the Bash Back! years.
As capitalism and the state are thrown into deeper and deeper crisis, queers and all others historically excluded from both formal economies and from the safety net of the nuclear family, will bear the brunt of the age of austerity. Reflecting critically on the past several years of radical queer action and imagination, the editors of Bash Back! Queer Ultraviolence will attempt to navigate queer space and potential in a world torn by crisis. Through this talk, Eanelli and Baroque will present a series of proposals for action and survival, taking as their starting point the position of queer autonomy and queer revolt against the State and Capital. This lecture will theorize queer gangs, self-defense networks, occupations, communes and a praxis of vengeance.

From AnarchistNews:
Four arrests Wednesday evening. A "keep it in the streets" protest in downtown Milwaukee followed the re-election of Governor Scott Walker, and was scheduled to respond to the victory of either politician. At this time, four have been released and cited with disorderly conduct and one more recently released back into our arms a day later than the rest. The five that were arrested were almost arbitrarily chosen for their close proximity to the blind and fevered panic of the police. The police, despite their smirks, had far less control over the situation than they want to say. At moments they had to put their hands on their guns just to convince themselves of who was in control. Shit was out of control.
After a year and a half being wasted on a recall election, after all of the energy put into the Capitol occupation and state-wide strikes was funneled into useless electoral politics, there is now room to breathe and begin again. This newfound freedom to act was seen in the streets of Milwaukee with surprising clarity. What started as a gathering of talking heads quickly escalated into a push and shove match with police, whose aim was to corner and stop any unpermitted march from taking place. Within seconds of the march, protesters took to the streets as dozens of cops in riot gear attempted to contain them. The crowd was unwilling to be pushed aside, and worked together to shove back and wind around the horses, motorcycles, and beefy baton-wielding helmets.
The black bloc, though dormant in Milwaukee for years, seemingly reappeared (some in all black, some with red bandannas, and some other groups and individuals who wore some form of the mask) and it both engaged in confrontation and helped to defend individuals in the crowd, while others that weren't bloc'd up joined in and initiated their own actions. Its very presence declared non-violence an impossibility.
Police tried to stop the crowds, but failed again and again to contain its excesses. People pushed against police lines and horses and pulled their friends to safety as cops attempted to arrest them. One startled cop had some unknown liquid thrown at his face during the first attempted kettle. At another moment of police provocation a member of the crowd wrested a baton from the grip of a cavalry officer, hit him, and threw the baton at another, then jumped into the cloak of the crowd. It was unruly, disobedient, and willing to shove, at least 150 deep.
After twelve or so blocks of low-intensity conflict, protestors made it to Zeidler Park, the planned to be space of occupation. At this point the PA once again became an instrument of boredom as the crowd was talked at by people that wanted to give speeches instead of dance, or eat, or fight. Attention was then shifted to supporting those arrested, and a small crowd moved to the local police station to await their release. No occupation happened, but for now that is ok. All in all, the event was a short but inspiring leap away from the silly matter of a recall election.
When asked about the protest, police chief Flynn was quoted saying that it was MPD's job to "babysit" the crowd while they "pretend to be relevant protestors". We couldn't disagree more. It is only now that the police have been identified as a thing to be fought, and the recognition that democracy will always fail to appease its audience that Wisconsin joins relevant contemporary struggle. Last year at the Capitol there was some confusion as to whether or not the police could be considered a part of the working class and it is very nice to see this question can put to rest. There is nothing more salient to present-day politics than an antagonism towards police.
Meanwhile, the media acted with calculation, minimizing and simplifying events, as they are expected to, creating a safe distance from any possible intensity. To them, it was simply a protest, it was "40", it was "several". It marched roughly half the actual distance down the forgettable avenue of Plankinton, when the wildness really cut through Water Street, the center of downtown. We blocked traffic "briefly" (ahem, forty god minutes at least). Their tendencies are to be non-descriptive, to imply that those that got arrested deserved it, and to minimize the actual event as much as possible, acknowledging it only so as to explain it away.
Similarly, the Left attempts to erase the excitement and power we experienced at the march. They talk about a peaceful, nonviolent protest where police officers unjustly arrested individuals to stifle free speech. From their press releases to the photos they post, the shining activists of the 99% were all but crushed, helpless victims.
The truth is that the march wouldn't have happened if it hadn't been as unruly and forceful as it had been, and there would have been many more arrests and injuries at the hands of the police. There was anger, and there was power.
To the rest of the world that is fighting and making 2012 the year that the world ends: Don't wait for us, we'll catch up!
We were not the 99%. We were 150, and we were angry.

An interview with an individual involved in Burnt Bookmobile, a blog out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin run by some people influenced by various anti-authoritarian tendencies, including insurrectionary anarchism, left communism, and nihilism, among others.
During the spring of 2011, when the 'Wisconsin Uprising' or '#wiunion movement' was in full swing, they put out a number of flyers, leaflets and posters that pushed the occupation or general strike concept forward and contributed to the more militant atmosphere that Madison saw traces of. When I was still in Madison, I tried to stay in touch with at least one person who was involved in running the site, sending updates and perspectives back and forth. Recently I had the chance to make a trip to Milwaukee where they agreed to do an interview.
When was Burnt Bookmobile started and what were the initial thoughts behind it? Have they changed since then?
The Burnt Bookmobile was first started as a distro around 2004 and at the time spent the majority of its activity intervening in the hardcore, punk and counter cultural scenes revolving around the subjects of veganism, a kind of inarticulate post-left anarchism and anti-civ trends of thought. This was an orientation that was largely moral in character, but it would more and more come to reject this for a focus on the question of what constitutes living within capitalism and strategic concerns situated within the struggles which we had found ourselves, such as the end of the anti-globalization era, the anti-war era, consumer politics, alternative identity, and the more general anti-capitalist movement.
Since then the Burnt Bookmobile has been present at wine and cheese festivals, occupied campus buildings, neighborhood block parties, film screenings, lectures, poetry readings, shows, etc. Its mode of intervention has always been primarily through the text, offering things as much as we could for free in the form of zines and posters, and books sold for as much as it costs to restock.
Certainly the content of these texts has gone through different phases reflective of different questions we were thinking through, ideas and practices which resonated with us and which we experimented with. These phases articulated themselves in insurrectionary anarchism, left communism, illegalism, egoism, nihilism, Situationist theory, critical theory and the partisan cannon of philosophy, fiction and poetry. Though obviously contradictory, these traditions form a nexus of ideas that have been useful to us in an effort to think and act out a general antagonism against capitalism.
Do you think the blog has helped introduce local people to communist positions or benefited the projects the local milieu has taken on?
Without a doubt the character of the local projects and the critical tools they employ are indebted to years and years of establishing a more critical and articulate discourse. Whether people read the texts or see the posters, it has produced a certain standard of critical thought within the anti-authoritarian, anarchist, and communist milieu, that must in some way be responded to.
I know this is a big question, but for those unfamiliar, what is Milwaukee like and how does the local situation influence or determine your projects and activity?
I'm no expert on the history of Milwaukee, so these are my reflections. Milwaukee is a Rust Belt city much like other Rust Belt cities and like these cities is a site of former industrial centers of production, the labor of which has been either made redundant through automation, outsourced for cheaper often less skilled labor, or been the subject of more general capitalist restructuring. Milwaukee is also one of the most segregated of the major cities in the US. These are the major dynamics at play within the city. Development in spacial terms certainly happens in Milwaukee, but it happens at a pace much slower than many other cities where value circulation attains a much more ruthless speed. It has a large surplus population pushed into crime and then into the apparatus of law (jail, prison, courts, criminal history, criminalization) that appears extremely racialized.
The Bookmobile responds mostly from the point of the shared positions as points of departure, coming from largely white, heterosexual, middle class, male, student, service industry subjectivities. The project bases its activity within the processes of undoing and active confrontation with these positions in material and symbolic terms. We most easily relate to others who feel ill at ease within these subject positions.
Certainly the question of how to approach those who share a similar disposition of hatred for their conditions and who share similar gestures to respond to them is very pressing. One must assess the risk of vulnerability in exposing one's antagonistic intentions and activities to a general population to find the active minorities that these practices may resonate with. We agree with others who have said that a shared language is built through shared struggle, as counter to the forced relations which already constitute the language of capital. Certain moments with enough force behind them allow for the space of extreme exposure necessary to breakdown barriers of subjectivity allowing for such a language to develop.
We would love to communicate with those who resort to flash mobs out of boredom, who resort to collective crime as mode of resistance to their conditions. Perhaps we'll meet someday in the streets warmed by a burning bank building, but until then a great many things prevent such a convergence.
Madison was (and is) sort of a bubble. I kind of had an idea of what was going on in Milwaukee last spring but could you describe what was going on?
Much of what I was involved in was centered on the UW-Milwaukee campus, the prospect of shutting it down to spread the occupations and aid in or initiate a wildcat general strike. The possibility of such a strike seemed more possible than any other time in my life because of all the seemingly unexpected and unprecedented (at least for my time in Milwaukee) activity that was already happening.
The first student initiated rallies were 20 times bigger than anything else I had seen on campus. Many students stopped going to classes, TAs were doing spontaneous sick outs, and everyone was caught in a flurry of going back and forth between the occupation in Madison and Milwaukee. Some teachers, most TAs, and school staff all had the talk of striking or some kind of workplace activity on their lips. The question being posed and discussed by many made the possibility of such a strike and what would be after and beyond a strike all the more tangible. The strategic and immediate importance of what we were doing seemed to carry so much more weight during this moment. It appeared to matter what a couple of extremists were suggesting.
Many people in Milwaukee had already initiated the conversation about campus occupations and had been discussing it since being inspired by the events in California in 2009. Because of this, when the time came to possibly employ occupations here it was mostly a question of strategy and not whether the idea would be accepted by the minority of students and non-students who would initiate it. Student leaders made every attempt to not let the situation get out of their control, but it started out of their control, would have never become what it was if it was in their control, so they found themselves further obsolete. Then, reacting to their obsolescence with further control they were made blatantly absurd by open collective criticism. Out of this occupation would come large discussions on topics ranging from the role of the police to how to support and further strikes, dance parties, many nights spent with little sleep on hard floors, calls for and the planning of other demonstrations, a general sharing of resources and maybe most importantly the collective experience of taking and sharing space. The rest of the occupation was fairly complicated throughout the sixty some days of its stay, and it would take up a lot of room to discuss it, so I won't. What was important was that it was attempted as an effort to spread the occupations and define space on its own terms different from the pacifying "Madison model."
Certainly I can't claim to know much more of what was happening in Milwaukee than what I was in some way connected to or had my ear out for. Other than the university occupation, there was some activity surrounding the end of Good Time within the legislation1, which included an unruly prison demo at which fireworks were shot at the jail in downtown Milwaukee, people chanted anti-prison slogans and made noise for those inside, then minor property damage was done to the building. Afterwards a big swath of wheatpasting covered mostly the east side of the city with a communique of the action. There was a general assembly, in the Riverwest neighborhood where I live, to address the question of how to support strike and workplace activity. There were multiple larger scale lock gluings of the university and other places connected to important dates, as well as other sporadic acts of vandalism and sabotage. Posters and slogans where everywhere. Strangers talked to strangers about what was happening throughout the state. People involved were constantly in communication, meeting, assembling, etc.
At the time, some of the propaganda you all were putting out seemed to me to be 10 steps ahead of the movement. However, since then, I've changed my mind about this and think one can "meet people where they are at" and introduce what seem like extremely militant ideas. What are your thoughts on accomplishing this?
Compared to what we felt was necessary and what we desired, we were quite restrained in our interventions into he situation in Madison in particular and there was therefore an obvious tension in placing ourselves within discourses and events that were frankly, shameful. The terms with which to engage in struggle were so vapid that all that had never been problematized within the old workers movement (that of workers identity, progressivism, programatism, etc) was still acting as a web of restraint defining the conditions of activity. We felt at the same time a need to act within these events in order to push them to define divisions and limits within what was said and done, then to act against those limits and further the necessary divisions. We wanted to present and proliferate a collective capacity to do this, however minimal our own capacity for proliferation was.
It has been important for us to realize that there was no movement in particular. This idea which acts to enforce and impose the most empty, vague identity, "We Are Wisconsin", upon the mass of angry people who were affected by the event in Wisconsin acted as a means to curtail and defer any modes of resistance beyond the most pacified symbolic acts, calls for legitimacy, family values, and other normative frameworks that are generally always more operative for capitalism than they are for any resistance. A lot more could be said about the function of such an imposition. More than just within the specific event of the Madison occupation we felt a need to provoke and communicate in a way that opened up means of acting rather than defining and containing them; not being any model in particular, but instead spreading that disposition to act and take collectively. This was generally the intention with the posters and activity we were involved in. More so, what we wrote and said was lost in the suppression of event or erased by the victors of the struggle which appear now to be democratic politics. At the time we attempted to offer critical tools to understand and surpass barriers to self-organization outside of the limits of syndcalism, "politics", democracy, work, etc etc. Amidst the now apparent failure of our interventions, they now appear to us to be far too mild and timid.
From far off, it seems Occupy has either not taken off much in Wisconsin or has been absorbed into the recall effort of the Governor. Is this accurate? What has Occupy been like in comparison to what you know of other places?
I'm unfamiliar with what is happening or has happened in Madison regarding the occupy movement, but this has been accurate for Milwaukee, and I assume much more so for Madison. The specter of the recall campaign continues to haunt Wisconsin with counter revolution at a time when much of the rest of the country is experiencing the awkward becomings of open contestation of space and a more generalized resistance to the crisis.
What future 'ruptures' or openings do you see in Milwaukee or the state as a whole?
Frankly I don't see anything interesting coming out of Milwaukee or the state as a whole that resembles anything like what happened in Madison. It will be a surprise when it does, just as the event last spring. It wouldn't have been an event if we would have expected its coming. But the series of crises that are coming won't be resolved easily, won't be swallowed we hope without a fight, so for now we're forced to keep our ear to the ground and be ready for the next round.
Thanks for making time for an interview.
Definitely. Thanks for asking.

"Bipartisan" Obama won't even EAT with Republicans
The emperor with no food.
Meeting with GOP senators, at a lunch no less, the POTUS couldn't stomach it.
He honestly did look longingly at it, but apparently he has to have essentially a taster, and I pointed out to him that we were all tasters for him, that if the food had been poisoned all of us would have keeled over so, but he did look longingly at it and he remarked that we have far better food than the Democrats do.
No doubt, and nice own goal there, Barrack.
But dude; the food.
Eat it!
Think of your starving relatives in Kenya.
No taster?
So what?
Bring a taster.
Or was that sequestered, too?
Starve, thin man.
Did he bring a taster to that DC burger joint that time?
Closing off the White House to school kids? Wants all that bipartisan nonsense with the Republicans, yet won't even EAT with them??? The master politician has become a master of the faux pas.
Is his teleprompter secretly a T1000?


text: One of the reasons many of us make things is to understand them, to understand not only how the parts and pieces fit together and how they accomplish what they accomplish once assembled but also the working principles behind the assembly. PublicResourceOrg offers a terrific library of old films, mostly from the Department of Defense, that explain a wide variety of processes and principles. The list is impressive and includes things like: basic amplifiers, DC motors, AC motors, resistance, and capacitors just within the electrical category. While the example technologies are dated, the visualizations are, to my eye, just as good as anything we could offer today. Perhaps they are better, for the limitations of the era's media forced the presenters to focus on what matters most and not simply what could be included. (Because we can is a principle familiar to many of us, but I bet many of us would also admit that sometimes that way leads to distraction or, at least, digression.) The link takes you to a kind of master page of all the Youtube playlists Public Resources has assembled.

Commons BeanUtils
Most Java developers are used to creating Java classes that conform to the JavaBeans naming patterns for property getters and setters. It is natural to then access these methods directly, using calls to the corresponding getXxx and setXxx methods. However, there are some occasions where dynamic access to Java object properties (without compiled-in knowledge of the property getter and setter methods to be called) is needed. Example use cases include:
The Java language provides Reflection and Introspection APIs (see the java.lang.reflect and java.beans packages in the JDK Javadocs). However, these APIs can be quite complex to understand and utilize. The BeanUtils component provides easy-to-use wrappers around these capabilities.
BeanUtils Core And Modules
The 1.7.x and 1.8.x releases of BeanUtils have distributed three jars:
Version 1.9.0 reverts this split for reasons outlined at BEANUTILS-379. There is now only one jar for the BeanUtils library.
Bean Collections
Bean collections is a library combining BeanUtils with Commons Collections to provide services for collections of beans. One class (BeanComparator) was previously released, the rest are new. This new distribution strategy should allow this sub-component to evolve naturally without the concerns about size and scope that might otherwise happen.
Bean Collections has an additional dependency on Commons Collections.
1.9.x releases
BeanUtils 1.9.x releases are binary compatible (with a minor exception described in the release notes) with version 1.8.3 and require a minimum of JDK 1.5.
The latest BeanUtils release is available to download here.
1.8.x releases
BeanUtils 1.8.x releases are binary compatible with version 1.7.0 and require a minimum of JDK 1.3.
BeanUtils 1.7.0 is a service release which removes the dependency upon a specific commons-collection library version. It may be safely used together with either the 2.x or 3.x series of commons-collections releases. It also introduces a number of important enhancements. It is backward compatible with the 1.6 release.
This important service release is intended to help downstream applications solve dependency issues. The dependency on commons collections (which has become problematic now that there are two incompatible series of commons collections releases) has been factored into a separate optional sub-component plus a small number of stable and mature org.apache.commons.collections packaged classes (which are distributed with the BeanUtils core). This arrangement means that the BeanUtils core sub-component (which is the primary dependency for most downsteam applications) can now be safely included on the same classpath as commons collections 2.x, 3.x or indeed neither.
The distribution now contains alternative jar sets. The all-in-one jar contains all classes. The modular jar set consists of a core jar dependent only on commons logging and an optional bean collections jar (containing classes that provide easy and efficient ways to manage collections of beans) which depends on commons collections 3.
Older Releases (Not Mirrored)
The commons mailing lists act as the main support forum. The user list is suitable for most library usage queries. The dev list is intended for the development discussion. Please remember that the lists are shared between all commons components, so prefix your email by [beanutils].
Issues may be reported via ASF JIRA.
