I've everything ready ,and my products from Palmetto ,just have not had a chance to get out there. The quarts net a lot of product ,which per Scott can be re-used. The Manganese is mixed in more concentration than the phosphate ,but is said more durable. Hence the use on hood hinges/springs.

The parts look great when finished, so please don't take this the wrong way since I know nothing about this process. What keeps the parts from returning to the kind of rusted looking parts that are shown in step seven once the oil spray evaporates or dry's off..TMREddie

Black farmers collect $1.2 billion
Freddie Allen | 10/24/2013, 5:09 p.m.
Since 1920, nearly 12 million acres has slipped from the hands of Black farmers.
The United States Commission on Civil Rights found that the Farmers Home Administration, "may have hindered the efforts of black small farm operators to remain a viable force in agriculture" and that the USDA and FHA failed to "provide equal opportunities in farm credit programs."
Critics have charged that the Pigford settlement and claims process is rife with fraud, and that some who alleged discrimination never attempted to farm or receive loan assistance from the USDA. But Boyd said that those allegations are an insult to Black farmers.
"We made the South what it is, we made this country what it is. We made cotton king," said Boyd. "… If that Black farmer or Black land owner felt that they were discriminated against by the government, they deserved a right to go through that process. I didn't say everybody deserved a check. I never said that."
Gary Grant, head of the Black Farmers and Agriculturalists Association, said that from 1981-1996, Black farmers in North Carolina lost nearly 300,000 acres totaling $1.2 billion in lost assets in North Carolina alone.
"Fifty thousand dollars to a farmer is not a lot of money," Grant said.
Farmers didn't get their land back, they didn't get their equipment back, they didn't get their homes back, and Grant said, that tax-burdens often put Black farmers in worse shape than they were in before the settlement.
In a press statement on the Pigford II settlement payments, Congressional Black Caucus Chair Marcia Fudge, D-Ohio, said: "The Pigford I and II class action lawsuits attempted to address a history of discrimination by the Department of Agriculture. Between 1983 and 1997, thousands of African American famers were denied loans solely because of their race. These discriminatory practices resulted in severe economic consequences for farmers, often preventing them from maintaining and keeping their farms."
Fudge continued: "Nearly 14 years after the first Pigford case was filed, I am pleased this chapter of discrimination in the history of the Department of Agriculture is closed and bureaucracy will no longer keep these farmers from receiving their due justice."
Some argue, however, that the chapter is still open and Black farmers face extinction if they don't continue to fight.
Even as the settlement checks go out, the future of Black farming looks grim. Black farmers are counting on a youth infusion to revitalize industry.
"Nothing has changed at the USDA, despite the settlement," said Grant, who still doesn't trust the USDA. "We can't leave it alone."
Grant added: "This country has destroyed a way of life – family farming and that doesn't matter if you're Black or White – and devastated Black communities by the destruction of the agricultural plain, which was the economic engine in rural society."
Grant acknowledged that sharecropping memories still haunt Southern Blacks, because it was such a painful part of our history. But he maintains that Black farmers sent their children off to college and forgot to teach them about the power of land ownership. That was a mistake.
Boyd said that the Black community needs to improve awareness of the value of land ownership.
"A landless culture is a powerless culture. If you don't have any land, you don't have any power in this country," Boyd. said
Boyd added: "If you can buy a new Cadillac or a new Mercedes Benz, you can also afford five acres in the country. Whatever you need to do in this [nation], if you have land, you can get it done."

University: We have standards ... double standards
Pays filth-talking, anti-conservative hate speaker while banning mention of Limbaugh
The University of North Carolina is being accused of having a double standard for speech – because of its crackdown on references to talk radio icon Rush Limbaugh over his negative reference to a woman who was lobbying Congress for her own free contraceptives.
At the same time, university interests were paying more than $18,000 for a speaker who has a long history of blasting Christians and their beliefs in seriously negative ways.
The school recently decided to ban the Tar Heels Sports Network from affiliating with Limbaugh. It was on March 6 when the university issued orders to two Raleigh radio stations that carry the Limbaugh program to stop mentioning "Rush Radio" and "Carolina Sports" together.
"The university, citing Rush's 'rude, inappropriate and offensive statements' about [Sandra] Fluke, also prohibits WRDU from referencing UNC or the Tar Heel Sports Network during Limbaugh's daily talk show," charged officials with Americans for Truth.
Limbaugh's comments came on the heels of Fluke's testimony before Congress regarding the Obamacare mandate for employer-paid contraception gained national attention, and an apology from the radio host.
But the university also recently paid a large sum to homosexual activist and host of MTV's Savage U Dan Savage to speak on campus, said Peter LaBarbera, chief of Americans for Truth.
The organization described it as a double standard.
Michael McFarland, of the university relations office, told WND in an email, "We do not affiliate with or endorse any radio personality or politician, so we asked the local station to end the practice of referencing the Tar Heel Sports Network or the university's name while promoting the Rush Limbaugh program and vice versa."
He said, "They agreed. … That is simply to avoid the appearance of a university endorsement of a radio personality."
And Associate Athletic Director for Marketing and Promotions Rick Steinbacher told WND that the two radio stations have agreed to limit their station identifying announcement at the top of every hour to a more generic "call letter" or "radio frequency," rather than for example saying, "You're listening to Carolina sports on Rush Radio."
The programming director did not return WND phone calls.
WND asked Steinbacher if all 50 radio affiliates have been given similar instructions, and he said, "It's not a standard we apply to all 50 stations."
"We haven't called all of them. There's not an issue with the other stations," he said.
Jane Brown, UNC journalism and mass communications professor, told the Dailytarheel.com of her desire to see the university completely disassociate itself from the radio station, saying, "I wish we were not on Rush Radio at all."
"We give Rush credence and credibility by being associated with him."
"We stand for civil discourse and pursuit of the truth," she said. "We should not associate with those who do not hold similar values."
WND contacted Brown to ask about her comments to the Dailytarheel and how she feels about Dan Savage being paid by the university to speak. Her only response was about "Rush Radio."
"I'm satisfied with the compromise position of no cross-promotion. I trust we will hold the radio stations to the agreement," she told WND.
But AFTAH wants the university to explain how officials can justify a ban on Rush Limbaugh, after just weeks ago, "paying $18,500 to homosexual activist and cyberbully, Dan Savage, creator of a vile hate-site that redefines Rick Santorum's last name as the by-product of anal sex – to be a guest speaker."
The group has written UNC-Chapel Hill officials asking for an explanation on why Savage, "who once wished death on all Republicans and who regularly and crudely demonizes religious conservatives is welcome on campus, but the local 'Rush Radio' affiliate isn't allowed to even mention the college."
AFTAH also asked UNC to repudiate Savage for his "offensive statements," and invite a pro-family speaker to campus specifically to balance his appearance.
AFTAH President Peter LaBarbera said that Rush quickly apologized for his remarks regarding Fluke and her testimony before Congress about the Obamacare mandate on contraceptives, yet Savage is known for making far more degrading comments, unapologetically.
LaBarbera offers several examples of Savages perspective:
- Savage said on HBO that "he wished all republicans were f—ing dead." (He later apologized.
- Savage's creation "Santorum[dot] com" (and "SpreadingSantorum[dot]com") "re-define" Santorum's surname as follows: "San-TOR-um, n. The frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the by-product of anal sex."
- In contrast to Limbaugh, who quickly apologized for his remarks about Fluke, when LaBarbera asked Savage to take down "Santorum[dot]com," Savage replied, "I'm asking Peter LaBarbera to go f— himself."
When asked about AFTAH's position that the university holds different viewpoints on different celebrities, university spokesman Mike McFarland told WND that the Rush Limbaugh issue and Dan Savage speaking on campus are different.
"Savage was invited by students through the Carolina Union Activities Board," he told WND.
"Student Congress determines how to allocate student fees, and the student-run Carolina Union Activities Board decides how they use their allocation to bring speakers like Mr. Savage to campus," he said.
"The university does not impose restrictions about who may be invited to speak at the university based on their viewpoints."
McFarland went on to tell WND that Karl Rove was invited to speak on campus a few years ago by the College Republicans, as was Herman Cain earlier this month.
Online resources describe Savage as the "subject of controversy regarding some of his opinions that pointedly clash with cultural conservatives…"
And LaBarbera says Dan Savage is no Karl Rove.
"He's not even a 'fill-in-the-blank' liberal. He's a hatemonger that uses terrorist tactics to get his point across, and the university owes everyone an apology," LaBarbera says.

Topic: Do you know what it's like being Han Solo?
Ok well today at school I got called to the counselors office and iwas a bit nervous; after all, I had reason to be. Anyway, I finished my test quickly and went to the office. But you know during that time, for some reason I felt like I was Han Solo and the school was the Empire that was trying to "capture" me; after all the trouble I casued last year I guess. Because last year I caused a lot of trouble, but i got off the hook pretty easy so I guess they were mad. But anyway I was like so freakin nervous for some reason, even though I rarely am nervous; I mean I was literally half expecting them to freeze me in carbonite and hang me in the office to prevent any future "trouble students". But it all turned out to be a mere scedule change. Boy I sure appreciate Han Solo now though.....lol. Also, anyone else that I deal with could be Jabba or something lol

Not since M.I.A., with her well-publicized turbulent political past, has an artist with such an extraordinary life-story arrived on the scene as Sudanese child soldier turned-rapper Emmanuel Jal.
The musician/songwriter/rapper whose autobiographical album Warchild will be released on May 13th was a featured guest at the premiere of the Tribeca Film Festival in New York earlier this week where the documentary about him, the Karim Chrobog directed War Child, made its American premiere. (It had its world premiere earlier this year at the Berlin Film Festival.) The film outlines the tough life of this 28 year old musician who was a soldier in the Sudanese People's Liberatin Army when he was only eight years of age. Jal's autobiography will be published by St. Martin's Press later this year.
His story is truly an amazing one. But what about the music, you ask? Well, unlike M.I.A., whose music was even more exciting than the publicity package that preceded her, Emmanuel Jal's new album "Warchild," which was recorded in London in 2006 and 2007, is kinda disappointing -- to these ears anyway, after one full listen. Maybe the hype had me expecting too much. Sung/rapped mostly in English and veering between reggae and rap, Emmanuel Jal sounds too often like he is trying too hard to emulate popular American rappers and it just ain't working. Hence, he is at his best on the tracks where he isn't trying to streamline his sound for US or British audiences.

by Kevin J. Strom, Ph.D., and Joe Eyerman, Ph.D.
Editor's Note: This is the second in a two-part series on interagency coordination that examines the response to the 2005 London bombings. In
Issue 260 of the
NIJ Journal, the authors identified promising practices in London's multiagency response. In this article, they discuss in more detail the challenges faced by British agencies in responding to the attacks and lessons that may be learned from them.
In July 2005, terrorists carried out the first suicide attacks in modern Western Europe. At 8:50 a.m., bombs went off on three London Underground trains. A fourth bomb was detonated a short time later on a double-decker bus. The attacks were the deadliest in London since World War II, killing 52 people and injuring more than 700 others.
London agencies responding to the bombings faced a number of challenges, which were, in part, driven by the virtually simultaneous nature of the attacks. Initial reports about the source of the explosions ranged from a train derailment to a body on the tracks to a power surge in the London Underground system.[1] Passengers fled from multiple station exits, causing further confusion about the number of attack sites.
As part of a National Institute of Justice-funded study, we interviewed officials directly involved in responding to the July 2005 bombings, including law enforcement, fire and medical services, and public health authorities. We found that although protocols followed by the multiple agencies that responded to the attacks largely minimized major problems, communication, leadership and legal difficulties did affect the coordination efforts.[2]
The primary issues reported to us during our interviews related to communication and leadership.
One of the biggest challenges faced by the London agencies was how to communicate with the victims' families.[3] Family members and friends found it difficult to get information on the status and location of injured or deceased loved ones — so the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) set up a family assistance center on the day following the bombings.
Responders also encountered problems with radio communications. Although the radio systems used by the British Transport Police and London Underground staff worked in the subway tunnels, the radios of other responding agencies, including MPS, did not. The interoperability of radios — the ability of radio systems to work in all settings and across all agencies — is technically a communications problem; however, leadership is crucial in developing and testing cross-agency systems prior to an emergency. According to the authorities we interviewed, solutions to the radio interoperability problems were being worked on at the time of the bombings; they had not, however, been fully implemented.
Learn more about NIJ's interoperability portfolio.
Failures in leadership can also contribute to coordination-related problems, especially when attacks occur in three different police jurisdictions, as was the case with the London bombings. Shortly after the attacks, the City of London Police, which is responsible for the Square Mile in the center of London, restricted cell phone network access to specific users to reduce network traffic and improve first responder access. This had the unintended consequence, however, of cutting off access for many responding agencies, including the London Ambulance Service. The London Ambulance Service was able to communicate using alternate means, and no major harm resulted from the restriction. Nonetheless, this example underscores the need for planning among agencies.
Legal issues further complicated the multiagency response. Concerns over privacy laws initially kept authorities from sharing information with bombing survivors and their families. The United Kingdom's Data Protection Act prohibits sharing personal data without the consent of those concerned, thus limiting what information officials could give agencies and families on the identity and status of victims. American public health offices have raised similar concerns about our Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and how these regulations could affect communication and information sharing with other agencies, including law enforcement.[4]
London officials learned valuable lessons regarding the multiagency response to the July 2005 bombings. We found that the flexibility of London's protocols for interagency coordination helped minimize major problems in emergency coordination. London officials had established relationships with one another and had practiced agreed-upon procedures. Consequently, a command and control system was up and running quickly, there was limited confusion about agencies' roles and responsibilities, and a unified message was delivered to the media.[5]
According to British expert Peter Simpson, a participant in our study, the city continues to improve its procedures for interagency command and control, communication and planning across agencies, and joint training.
See "Analyzing Multiagency Activities in the U.K."
British legislation, such as the Crime and Disorder Act of 1998 and the Civil Contingencies Act, provide a foundation for multiagency partnerships. The Crime and Disorder Act requires local agencies, including the police and public health authorities, to work together to develop crime prevention strategies; the Civil Contingencies Act establishes clear roles and responsibilities for agencies involved in emergency preparation and response. To further improve response, a review of the Civil Contingencies Act currently under way will define a set of performance standards for local responders; create a performance management agreement, which includes capturing and sharing performance data; and devise an intervention strategy for poorly performing organizations.
The experience in London offers important guidance to U.S. agencies. But before we attempt to apply any lessons learned to the U.S., there are certain factors that should be considered. First, we must recognize the long history of disaster response in which London's coordination approach is rooted. This includes extensive bombings of the city during World War II and the Irish Republican Army's campaign of violence in the 1970s and 1980s. In both cases, incidents were too extensive to be addressed by a single agency.
The size of a jurisdiction and the number and type of agencies within that jurisdiction are also critical. For example, the U.K. has 43 local police agencies, compared to more than 17,000 in this country. Cross-agency responses in the United States may also need to be coordinated at federal, state and local levels. The public safety and research communities must work together to better understand how the characteristics of local jurisdictions affect response capacity and to identify and implement protocols that contribute to successful coordination.
See "Improving Multiagency Response."
Based on our research and lessons learned from the multiagency response to the London bombings, we believe that the first step in preparedness planning involves evaluating how well agencies coordinate with one another. To begin the evaluation, we should develop baseline measures in every community. The measurements will help policymakers identify which communities need to improve their coordination before a crisis occurs.
Terrorism — like the 2005 bombings in London — is a complex problem that requires multiagency solutions. Failure to communicate among agencies and plan in advance can lead to an inferior response. Working together regularly can help agencies understand each other's roles, sustaining long-term partnerships and improving future response to emergency situations.

Who would have thought?
When Massachusetts finally pulled away for an 86-79 victory against the Charlotte 49ers on Saturday at the Mullins Center in Amherst, Mass., the Minutemen had toppled the last team undefeated in Atlantic 10 play – three games into the conference season!
Even more striking is the fact the battle of top teams was taking place between UMass and Charlotte – teams picked to finish eighth and 10th, respectively, in the conference's preseason poll.
And what of the A-10's nationally ranked teams – No. 14 Dayton, No. 20 Xavier and No. 23 Rhode Island? They all lost last week. Charlotte, which finished 14-16 overall and 7-9 in the league last season, was the last one without a loss.
The number of ranked teams, the quality of most teams' nonconference schedules and the solid Ratings Percentage Index rankings of so many teams bode well for the conference.
This is going to be an exciting season of A-10 basketball. Home games will become all that more important. The teams that are able to pull win on the road likely will rise to the top.
In the past, some of Charlotte coach Bobby Lutz's most successful teams have been those that performed well on the road. This group of 49ers got off to a shaky start away from Halton Arena, but the Jan. 9 win at then-No. 18 Clemson seemed to turn the tide.
The 49ers made a good accounting of themselves Saturday. Could they have done some things better? Of course. But this was not the same team that played Hofstra and Tulsa, and that can only mean good things ahead.

Maybe 49ers' surprises aren't over

This might just be an excuse, but if the 49ers had been able to have a shoot around before the game, I think the outcome would have been different. Nonetheless, this was a gret A-10 battle. - Dave Exum

The 49ers played a greatr tempo and did a decent job on Forbes and Lowe, however it is always someone who does nothing all year and then kills us. Milligan shoots 46% from the line and after missing his first 1, knocks down 11 of his next 13. Damn. Plus, Lee, who is a hero, must learn not to force shots. It would help if lamont could stay on the court and stop accumulating touch fouls. He's too important for us not to be out there, especially on the road.

We were a Mack foul away from winning that game I think. But credit to the Minutemen, they created a lot of those situations that resulted in baskets and fouls by pushing the tempo.
- Anonymous said...
If someone would teach our post and wing players to step into defenders cutting through the lane,that beat Lee to a spot on the perimeter, he wouldn't have to take so many contested shots. And he could certainly do a better job of reversing and losing defenders. He also can drive the ball a well as anyone. He could score more and draw more fouls if he'd continue to do it more consistantly.
Its time for the team to step up and take it to another level. The "young" should be off our team now. The school should step up, sing Bobby and be done with it so we can move on to bigger and better thing !!! Go Niners !

Regardless of the loss, we have still come a long way for being a young team. You couldn't have made me believe we would be at 11-6 and 2-1 in conference play after last years downfall. I am really proud of this team and the job that Lutz has put forth this year. We also have to look at the fact that we really had some bad luck in the timing of this game. We had bad weather andIan Anderson was injured. I can't wait to see the rest of the conference season unfold. We will be there at the end of the season. GO NINERS!

Getting the data.. Data.gov.uk; Freedom of INformation Act, Web scrapers (ScraperWiki.com) or turn up at an undisclosed location, at 1am on Sunday, and told not to go straight home after picking up a USB stick.
It was a 400mb text file. Almost 400,000 documents and almost 40 million words of dense military jargon.
Couldn't read it or open it up. It's a data cleaning problem. Had a text file, a comma separated file and these did not work. Dates creeping into wrong columns.
Had to scrap and look at MySQL file. Used UltraEdit and worked really well.
To turn it into something workable was knocking off bits of code.
Dates didn't work, also inconsistent. Find Google Refine a useful new tool to clean up information.
Old Excel cut off so you can see more than a scrap. Needed to find a way to help people view it when had limited number of computers to look at it.
Low tech solutions were small PDFs but these were really helpful.
Always asked what data looks like, so by exporting sections as 800 page PDFs it worked to give something for people to see. Not good for data crunching, but good for reading several hundred reports. Worked well for reporters, particularly when looking at a specific area or torture records.
Used mail merge as a handy way to free out the data.
Ran a MySQL database and got a tech person to build a web interface.
War Logs diary dig is very neat but it's not the best thing.
Searching for information such as escalation of force, or blue on white, find few reports. Search for friendly actions, find more. These are attacks with civilian categories.
Asking the right questions and searching brought out the right stories. Had to be so sure asking data the right question.
Searched for Prime Minister's name. Found out more about stories already reportered. Data had it from the in-depth. Covered all areas, not just limited to where the few journalists were embedded.
Used great software to show incidents over periods of time. Colour coded to show deaths, civilians, enemies, police, friendlys etc.
Ten thousand killed through ethnic cleansing murders. More people killed in murders than IED explosions, found in data.
Discovered a category of incident marked as causing media outcry.
http://v.gd/q4zxDz – Tutorial.
Used Tableau to see data. Limit to free version of up to 100,000 records.
Searches of the data found civilians killed at checkpoints due to car bombs exploding. Had people reading 800 reports to get the real story behind the numbers, too.
Found was great to use, particularly visually without worrying about code.
People liked word highlights and PDF was the best way to use it.
Used the data as part of the research. Didn't think, let's do maps and data images, but did.
Had maps showing where fatal incidents happened.
Powerful information, especially when you pull out from central Baghdad.
Team on the ground went out to Baghdad talking to people for Dispatches.
All the data was geocoded. Took an area and pulled out every report from the area. Used in a map view to see what had happened.
The map helped reporters speak to people on the ground.
Had video of man in a white sedan come out of his vehicle who was then gunned down by an Apache. Found the report in the Iraq log mentioning the sedan using geodata. Report didn't show the driver getting out and surrendering, the video did.
Checking details found it was within range of Apache, and lawyer cleared the footage for Dispatches.
Information tells story that doesn't look like a data story. Man shot while surrendering is a stronger story, although he had a mortar tube in his car.
It wasn't found with clever tricks but 10 weeks, with 25 people reading detailed reports working more than 18 hours a day. 30,000 reports read in detail. 5,000 read closely.
Richard Dixon from The Times asks if the leak will make this type of data more difficult to come across and unlock.
James suggests not because of the way it was leaked.
Francis Irving asked who paid? Funding from the David and Elaine Potter foundation. Dispatches paid a standard fee. Also took a fee from Al Jazeera. This gave a budget to cover research.
Mechanical Turk used for mundane repeat tasks, but something like this is too sensitive for farming out to different nationalities. Needed researchers who were trusted and had been working on it for some time because the information was so sensitive.
Judith Townend asked if there were issues with mainstream media taking up the story. James said it was difficult but explaining the data and making it clear helped. Put across idea it's battlefield data but trust the data. The numbers change as you're going through in data journalism.
As people became more comfortable with it, it didn't become difficult to 'sell' at all.
Bureau of Investivative Journalism put all information, maps, animations on the web. Also put the raw data, heavily redacted, online. Wikileaks put it all online.

A Primer on Dinosaur Paleobiology From Museum Graduate Student main content.
by AMNH on
In addition to peer-reviewed research papers, Steve Brusatte, a graduate student at Columbia University who is advised by Museum Curator Mark Norell, has already written children's dinosaur guides and a coffee-table book of dinosaurs and their relatives. Now, he's added another book to the list.
Dinosaur Paleobiology, which was released in May, is the first in a paleobiology series from Wiley-Blackwell. The book synthesizes what scientists currently understand about dinosaur biology—including feeding, locomotion, growth, and reproduction—as well as dinosaur evolution. Photographs and illustrations from Mick Ellison, a senior principal artist at the Museum, and Jason Brougham, senior preparator in the Exhibition Department, bring dinosaurs and fossils to life on the page.
"My hope is that this is something researchers would have on their bookshelves," says Brusatte, "but also something that a student could use as a gateway to learning more about dinosaurs at a higher technical level."
Dinosaur Paleobiology also explores how scientists know what they know about these ancient animals. To reconstruct how dinosaurs would have walked or fed, for instance, researchers use advanced computer modeling. The dinosaur tree of life can be refined by new technology, too: more powerful statistical analysis and techniques are enabling scientists to refine their understanding of how dinosaurs evolved.

Pay practices for adverse weather conditions
During periods of adverse weather conditions, pay practices do not change unless the president (or her designee, or the chancellor of a regional campus) declares a snow recess, which explicitly tells staff not to report for work. The president, executive vice president, provost, and chancellors of regional campuses are the only persons who can declare a snow recess.
During all other periods of bad weather, regular biweekly paid staff who are absent from work, arrive late, or leave early, must charge their time to vacation, personal holiday (if eligible), or absence without pay.
Pay practices in the event a snow recess is declared
Questions regarding pay during adverse weather conditions should be directed to Compensation at 49-40097.

Investigating the G-man
Nov. 23, 2011
2 & ½ popcorns
By Michael S. Goldberger
Special to the Observer
It's a funny thing about our current place in human evolution. The first thing most folks ask when I tell them I've just seen Clint Eastwood's "J. Edgar" is, "Was he gay?" or, "Did he wear a dress?"
Ignoring for a moment the powerful force in American domestic affairs Hoover played, I answer, "looks like it," but apologize for not knowing the dress size.
Actually, it's a bit more complicated. Eastwood's biopic is responsible, reliable, methodical and chock full of integrity…all attributes its protagonist would have liked Americans to cite when describing him. He was a force to be contended with, a true original in many ways, but hardly innovative when it came to keeping his ego in check.
Yet, he's one of the names on that list of people that have shaped the tenor and timber, good and bad, of our still rather young country. And while his specific story does hold fascinations Eastwood studiously mines, ultimately his is a tale of power — replete with savvy and astute paragraphs detailing its use, abuse and proclivity to corrupt absolutely.
In other words, Clint puts in the rumored window dressing, so to speak, because there's obviously some truth to it, but never solely for its potentially lurid appeal. He weaves through his film the thought that the whole thing may have been a function of J. Edgar's relationship with his domineering and eccentric mother, superbly played by Judi Dench.
Embodying all the inherent complexities and anomalies that comprised the man who built the FBI and pioneered modern criminal investigation as we know it, the youthful, almost pretty Leonardo DiCaprio brilliantly morphs into the much-feared iconic bulldog. So, while the film may not do all that well, get the tux ready, Leo. This may be your year.
Though the makeup is hardly realistic on the otherwise splendid Armie Hammer as Clyde Tolson, Hoover's alleged lover, or on the equally stellar Naomi Watts as Helen Gandy, his longtime confidante and secretary, it fits Mr. DiCaprio like a glove. Never caricature or camp, he is hindered only by what we don't know. And aye, there's the rub.
A great irony deleterious to Mr. Eastwood's cause, this is a tale of confidences that — for all its forthcoming and good intentions — fails to unearth its own big secret. We learn about the clandestine file he kept…the skinny on people just in case it might come in handy one rainy day. But even that's been learned inadvertently. We need more stones upturned.
Still, this is the kind of film you hope viewers looking for something more sensational will stumble on just the same. Don't let them know it, but it's a mite educative. And in a country where the average Joe can tell you where Miley Cyrus will be playing Friday night but can't name the vice president, we need all the history lessons we can get.
Occasionally the chronology gets a bit challenging as Eastwood plays with the flashback button. Yet profs teaching about the U.S. in the 20th century and looking for a breather should have no compunction about substituting "J. Edgar" for a lecture one fine afternoon. Why not spring for some popcorn, too? For some, it may be the only thing they remember.
It's as exciting a period as any, and Eastwood — working from a screenplay by Dustin Lance Black ("Milk (2008)") — paints his America with scholarly care. Alternating broad and fine brushstrokes, he posits an intriguing view of the Lindbergh kidnapping. Philadelphia lawyer-sly, he deserves kudos from the American Civil Liberties Union for the shadows of a doubt he casts.
The film is also big and colorful with superb, era-specific costumes, neat sets and all the appurtenances necessary to evoke the mood of the age. Late in the film, DiCaprio's autocrat (now coming under some scrutiny) reminds what dangers threatened democracy earlier in the century…that there is a case for judging men by the times that shaped them.
We're not so sure. But while taking the theory under advisement, we nonetheless find a sympathetic corner in our hearts for the double-edged sword Hoover represents. He is both egomaniacal despot and the momma's boy who wanted to do good…to be loved and remembered for protecting and preserving the institutions we too often take for granted.
Too bad it's a bit plodding. Too bad it doesn't unleash that great, maybe even scandalous, surprise. And too bad we've been whipped into a microwave-ready, I-info impatience of the mind. This is Clint Eastwood and not Oliver Stone. So it won't leave you dizzied. But while we may not actually realize it when viewing "J. Edgar," we're all the better for it.
"J. Edgar," rated R, is a Warner Bros. Pictures release directed by Clint Eastwood and stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Armie Hammer and Judi Dench. Running time: 137 minutes.

Important notice: fraudulent job offers
It has come to our attention that emails and job adverts have been created and circulated by unknown individuals for the purpose of attempting to defraud candidates.
Potential candidates should be wary of approaches that appear to be offering a job for which they have not applied, especially if personal details or money must be sent in order to proceed with the recruitment. Neither Ericsson nor any commissioned third parties recruit in this manner. Such approaches are almost certainly fraudulent attempts to gain details of identity for illegal use.
Ericsson is taking all necessary steps to investigate this matter further.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa., Feb. 10 (UPI) -- A lawyer for the family of the late Penn State football Coach Joe Paterno said the so-called Freeh report was flawed and led to a "miscarriage of justice."
"The Freeh report is a profound failure," Paterno family attorney Wick Sollers told the Centre Daily Times in State College, Pa. "It isn't a little wrong on the minor issues. It is totally wrong on the most critical issues. That the board and the NCAA relied on this report, without appropriate review or analysis, is a miscarriage of justice."
Speaking out for the first time since her husband's death, Sue Paterno released a letter, addressed to "Dear Lettermen," in which she defends her late husband's actions, saying he was "exactly the moral, disciplined and demanding man you knew him to be."
The results long-awaited independent investigation commissioned by Paterno's family were released Sunday and slammed the methodology of an earlier investigation led by former FBI director Louis Freeh.
At times line by line, the report Sue Paterno commissioned rebutted Freeh's accounting of events and individuals' actions leading to years of child molestation by former Paterno assistant Jerry Sandusky.
The Paterno report concluded Freeh's team erred by failing to interview key witnesses and allowing other witnesses to discuss the matter anonymously. It also said there was no evidence Paterno knowingly turned a blind eye to allegations assistant coach Jerry Sandusky was molesting children.
Specifically, the Paterno family report says Joe Paterno was never part of a conspiracy to cover up Sandusky's actions, the Philadelphia Inquirer said. It exonerates the entire football program from blame for Sandusky's actions, saying it was his actions alone that are to blame.
Former FBI profiler Jim Clemente, one of the authors retained by the Paterno family, said Sandusky alone was responsible for the crimes. "Sandusky got away with what he did because he's a skillful manipulator," in the "top 1 percent" of predators who groom children for abuse, he said.
Sandusky was sentenced to what is essentially life in prison after being convicted of the crimes.
The Paterno report said Freeh's report tarnished Paterno and led to harsh NCAA sanctions against the Penn State football program despite being "speculative and fundamentally flawed."
Freeh defended his report.
"I stand by our conclusion that four of the most powerful people at Penn State failed to protect against a child sexual predator harming children for over a decade," he said.

A Manatū Taonga audio guide to Tangiwai
Check out the Ministry for Culture and Heritage's audio guide to Tangiwai in the Video tab.
Tangiwai means 'weeping waters', and the name seemed sadly apt on Christmas Eve 1953, when a lahar (volcanic mud flow) partly destroyed the railway bridge over the Whangaehu River. The Wellington–Auckland passenger express plunged into the river, killing 151 people, in New Zealand's worst rail disaster.

Fendi Lei Selleria Gray Roman Leather Boston Bag ReviewCategories:Other Brands
The Fendi Lei Selleria is not your typical purse. This handbag is so much more. It is a stylish, but casual model that has a very cool and sophisticated vibe. The Lei Selleria gives up to everything that is rigid, traditional and common in favor of a youthful and practical spirit. It is the type of purse that can be worn at the office, at the gym, at shopping, at drinks or even in a social visit without being too much or too less. It is the ideal modern bag for unconventional looks.
Even the color choice for the Fendi Lei Selleria is anything but common. The purse is manufactured from a high quality asphalt grey Roman leather that matches perfectly its sporty look. Then the style of the bag is Boston. For those who are not familiar with this style, they only need to know that this is a traveling bag or general-utility bag that is wider at the bottom and folded in the middle. Usually, the top opening is held together by the handles. Nowadays, this is a very popular shape and Fendi seems to be one of the luxury designers that adore to use it for its most iconic or new designs.
The thick Roman leather bends very nicely at its top part without making any obvious creases. The special texture of this material allows the purse to adopt its loose and casual attitude. The surface of the leather features pronounced grains that match nicely with the overall cool look of the Lei Selleria.
This Fendi model features beautiful hand-sewn stitches that were made by the brand's Italian craftsmen. Every single purse has been manually created by a skilled artisan that paid great care and attention to all the details that make this design close to perfection. On the front top part of the bag there is the Fendi name written with metallic applied letters.
The macro zipper is located at the top of the purse and it features two pull pieces that have the brand's name embossed on their surface. Speaking of metallic parts, the hardware on the Lei Selleria is entirely silver, a choice that goes splendidly with the asphalt grey leather.
The Lei Selleria comes with one top side leather handle that is ideally created for an easy grip or for carrying the purse on your hand. For increased comfort you can choose to wear it on your shoulder by adding the detachable shoulder strap.
At the inside of the purse there is a beautiful soft brownish lining and two flat pockets. On the upper part of the interior we also notice the silver Selleria plaque with engraved serial number.
Also, the end parts of the Roman leather have been finished with a blue color which accentuates the bags forms and lines.
The Fendi Lei Selleria in asphalt grey is a bag with attitude. The casual shape, the unconventional material and the casual vibe are details that appeal and fascinate. You can't stay indifferent in front of this incredibly chic and unique purse. And frankly, why should you when it has so much to offer in terms of style and grace?

Norway and Iceland are familiar opponents, both from UEFA Women's EURO 2013 qualifying and the 2009 finals.
Head-to-head record
• These nations have met ten times with five of those meetings in the last four years. Overall Norway lead 7-2 in wins, with one draw, and 26-14 in goals.
• They played in two of the first European qualifiers for the inaugural 1984 finals. Norway were held 2-2 at home on 28 August 1982 – still their only draw against Iceland – and won 1-0 away the following July.
• That was it until the 1997 Algarve Cup, when a Norway team at the peak of their powers triumphed 6-0.
• There have been two subsequent Algarve Cup meetings, Iceland winning 3-1 in 2009 and Norway prevailing 3-2 the next year.
• In 2005 they were drawn together in the Women's EURO play-offs. Eventual runners-up Norway won 7-2 in a first leg played indoors in Reykjavik and 2-1 at home.
• Iceland made their finals debut in 2009 and lost 1-0 in their second group game against Norway to end their hopes. Cecilie Pedersen got the only goal in Lahti on 54 minutes, the 18-year-old's first start eight days after her senior debut.
Selected previous meetings
17 September 2011: Iceland 3-1 Norway (Magnúsdóttir 8 32, M Vidarsdóttir 15; Stensland 70) – Laugardalsvöllur, Reyjkavik, UEFA Women's EURO 2013 qualifying
Iceland: Helgadóttir, Atladóttir, Ó Vidarsdóttir, Fridriksdóttir (Brynjarsdóttir 75), Gisladóttir, Magnúsdóttir, Gunnarsdóttir, K Jónsdóttir, M Vidarsdóttir, Lárusdóttir (Ódinsdóttir 80), Ómarsdóttir (Olafsdóttir 63).
Norway: Hjelmseth, Akerhaugen, Mjelde, Stensland, Woods (Andersen 37, Isaksen 72), Rønning, Herlovsen, Haavi (Isaeksen 75), Garsjord, Thorsnes, Mykjåland.
19 September 2012: Norway 2-1 Iceland (Mjelde 39, Thornes 42; M Vidarsdóttir 66) – Ullevaal, Oslo, UEFA Women's EURO 2013 qualifying
Norway: Hjelmseth, Lund, Christensen, Knudsen, Akerhaugen, Mjelde, Gulbrandsen, Herlovsen, Isaeksen (Hansen 67), Thorsnes (Holstad 77), Knutsen.
Iceland: Helgadóttir, Atladóttir, Hönnudóttir (Lárusdóttir 56), Gardarsdóttir (Thorsteinsdóttir 71), Magnúsdóttir, Gísladóttir, Gunnarsdóttir, K Jónsdóttir, M Vidarsdóttir, Fridriksdóttir (Brynjarsdóttir 84), Ómarsdóttir.
• These teams were drawn in the same qualifying group and Norway made a nightmare start with their 3-1 loss in Reykjavik. They went on to lose in Northern Ireland but thanks to Iceland dropping five points against Belgium, their last match in Oslo was to prove decisive. A point behind, Norway needed to win and duly did, aided by a first competitive start since 2010 for Solveig Gulbrandsen after reverseing her decision to retire.
• The nations have met twice in the UEFA European Women's Under-19 Championship final tournament, both in the group stage. In 2007 hosts Iceland, in their first ever youth finals fixture, lost 5-0 to Norway. Maren Mjelde scored twice and Ingvild Isaksen and Maren Thorsnes were also on target for a side containing Isabell Herlovsen and Martina Lund against an Iceland team including Rakel Hönnudóttir, Gudný Björk Ódinsdóttir, Fanndís Fridriksdóttir and Sara Björk Gunnarsdóttir.
• Two years later it was 0-0 in Belarus. Fridriksdóttir was joined by Dagný Brynjarsdóttir in the Iceland team while Pedersen liked up with Hege Hansen.
Form guide
• Norway lost two of their first four qualifiers in Iceland and Northern Ireland but won all six fixtures in 2012 to top their section and maintain a perfect qualifying record since their 1987 triumph – only in 1997 did they not make the last four.
• However coach Eli Landsem's contract was not renewed at the end of 2012, meaning a return for 1995 FIFA Women's World Cup–winning manager Even Pellerud from Trinidad and Tobago. Pellerud was also in charge for Norway's second Women's EURO victory in 1993.
• Iceland qualified for their first major tournament in reaching UEFA Women's EURO 2009 but failed to secure a point. This time, having been pipped in their qualifying group by Norway, they overcame Ukraine in the play-offs.
Team ties
• The last competitive meeting between clubs from these nations was in the 2005/06 UEFA Women's Cup first qualifying round when Valur Reykjavík defeated Røa Fotball Elite 4-1 in Finland, though both progressed. Margrét Lára Vidarsdóttir scored twice with further goals by Dóra Maria Lárusdóttir and Ódinsdóttir for Valur, whose team also contained Gudbjörg Gunnarsdóttir, Málfrídur Erna Sigurdardóttir, Rakel Logadóttir and Laufey Ólafsdóttir. Røa included Marit Fiane Christensten.
• In the inaugural 2001/02 edition, SK Trondheims-Ørn defeated KR Reykjavík 9-0 in a group game. The Trondheims-Ørn lineup included Ingrid Hjelmseth and Trine Rønning while Hólmfrídur Magnúsdóttir was in the KR team.

"Los americanos no bailan" – it was something my suegra always said, usually with arms crossed over her chest while sitting at my Anglo parents' house on a holiday. My parents were always kind enough to invite my suegra to dinner even though she never seemed to like anything about being there. She complained about the American food, complained about the overly-friendly Golden Retrievers, complained that my family spoke English and that she couldn't understand, complained about the lack of music, complained that no one was dancing.
Because we never danced, Suegra then assumed that it was because we couldn't dance – that we were incapable of dancing. "Los americanos no saben bailar" – she would say.
When it was discovered at a very early age that my younger son was a natural dancer with an amazing sense of rhythm, she took all the credit. "Puro salvadoreño," she'd say, or "Este talento viene de parte de mi familia."
Likewise, when we discovered that my older son lacked rhythm, that no matter how hard he tried, (and that the harder he tried, the worse it was), Suegra blamed it on me. "Ay, pobrecito," she'd say, "no puede bailar, igual a su mamá."
The truth is that Suegra has never even seen me dance – and despite what she might think, I don't dance like Elaine on Seinfeld. Neither will I claim to be as good as Napoleon Dynamite, but I think I do alright.
It's a common stereotype that white people can't dance. I guess humans like stereotypes because it gives us a false sense of security that we better understand ourselves, our world and the people in it. The problem is that stereotypes attempt to group people together based on a common trait, but humans, even those that share many things in common, are much too diverse to be categorized in that way.
That being said, in my experience, and without doing scientific research, my hypothesis is that if you walk up to your average gringo on the street and compared his dancing skills with your average Latino on the street, the average Latino would more often be the better dancer. But, why?
I don't think that this is a result of race or skin color but rather a result of culture. Gringos, as my suegra noticed, don't tend to dance as often as Latinos. Dance, for many Anglos, just isn't a part of daily life, perhaps due to our Puritanical roots.
Now, if we all know that "practice makes perfect", wouldn't it make sense that the group who practices less, (regardless of any man-made category we could put them in), would quite simply be less skilled than the group that practices more?
Again, this is my unscientific guess as to why "gringos can't dance" – and to be clear, this doesn't apply to all gringos. Some are born with natural talent and some learn to dance very well, even on a professional level.
What do you think? Does the stereotype have some truth to it? If so, what is your explanation for it?

NVIDIA GPUDirect
Whether you are exploring mountains of geological data, researching solutions to complex scientific problems, or racing to model fast-moving financial markets, you need a computing platform that delivers the highest throughput and lowest latency possible. GPU-accelerated clusters and workstations are widely recognized for providing the tremendous horsepower required by compute-intensive workloads. Compute-intensive applications can provide even faster results with NVIDIA GPUDirect™.
Using GPUDirect, multiple GPUs, third party network adapters, solid-state drives (SSDs) and other devices can directly read and write CUDA host and device memory, eliminating unnecessary memory copies, dramatically lowering CPU overhead, and reducing latency, resulting in significant performance improvements in data transfer times for applications running on NVIDIA Tesla™ and Quadro™ products
GPUDirect includes a family of technologies that is continuously being evolved to increase performance and expand it's usability. First introduced in June 2010, GPUDirect Shared Access supports accelerated communication with third party PCI Express device drivers via shared pinned host memory. In 2011, the release of GPUDirect Peer to Peer added support for Transfers and direct load and store Access between GPUs on the same PCI Express root complex. Announced in 2013, GPU Direct RDMA enables third party PCI Express devices to directly access GPU bypassing CPU host memory altogether.

I am now reading "Getting Life in Perspective: A Fantastical Romance" by my latest addiction, author Toby Johnson and it is reminding me of wonderful writers I have read over the years. If you haven't read Toby – you must – he is a transformative author.
But today it brought me back in touch with the beautiful poem – As I Lay With My Head in Your Lap, Camerado.
As I lay with my head in your lap camerado,
The confession I made I resume, what I said to you and the open air
I resume,
I know I am restless and make others so,
I know my words are weapons full of danger, full of death,
For I confront peace, security, and all the settled laws, to
unsettle them,
I am more resolute because all have denied me than I could ever have
been had all accepted me,
I heed not and have never heeded either experience, cautions,
majorities, nor ridicule,
And the threat of what is call'd hell is little or nothing to me,
And the lure of what is call'd heaven is little or nothing to me;
Dear camerado! I confess I have urged you onward with me, and still
urge you, without the least idea what is our destination,
Or whether we shall be victorious, or utterly quell'd and defeated.
Walt Whitman – Leaves of Grass (1891)

Recently, I spoke to Nicki Grainger of The Cherry Closet, a customer of my business, to find out about her experiences of social media marketing.
Nicki started her online vintage boutique a year ago on the back of her career spent in fashion journalism, women's magazines and websites. Having always loved clothing with a sense of history and fancy dress, she started sourcing unique and charismatic vintage items from the UK, America and Europe.
Nicki says: "The boutique is all about style-savvy women having fun experimenting with fashion, encouraging eco-friendly shopping and preserving a piece of the past in their own individual way."
She's been using social networking sites since she launched the business in August 2009. Mainly she uses Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Blogger, MySpace (not as regularly) and professional sites such as LinkedIn.
"I try to update Twitter daily – if not every other day – and Facebook, on average, once or twice a week. I used to blog every day, but time constraints now mean I can only manage once or twice a week. The MySpace page is pretty static, and I update Flickr every month or so with new stock images.
Does she have any tips for successful use of social media for business? "Keep at it!" she replies, "You have to do regular updates to maintain interest. Be creative – think outside the box. We only just started posting pictures of celebrity outfits and finding the vintage equivalent on our website. Also, link, link and link some more. Promote other people who promote you, tag photos, mention names and use content that will engage. You've also got to use social media channels differently. Facebook and Twitter are two very different tools, so try and use them both to their full potential.
To measure traffic, Nicki has Google Analytics installed on her boutique website so she can see who is coming from where. She adds: "Facebook emails me weekly stats on how many fans my page has and comments made; Blogger has a 'followers' tool and I get a lot of messages through Twitter and my website from people via social media."
Social media has also enabled Nicki to more conveniently gather customer feedback on her products and website, which is crucial for an online shop that can't interact with customers face to face. Her business profile has also been raised. She says: "Our recent video and feature for GLAMOUR magazine actually came from Twitter. I took the time to help a girl out with something for her university fashion course, and she was in the right place at the right time to recommend us directly to the magazine."
Does she think social networking is worth the time she spends on it? "Yes I do. Social media is essential for modern marketing - especially when you're primarily an Internet-based business such as ours. You rely solely on getting those clicks and getting your brand out there and social media is hands down the best way to achieve this. By listening to what customers and people online are saying about your business and your brand, you will only improve your service. My only regret is that I wish I had more time to dedicate to it, because it can be so time consuming - but so worth it!"
If she could only use one social networking site, which would it be? "A very tight contest, blogs second only to Facebook. As much success as Twitter has bought me, whatever you tweet feels so momentary. Also, you can't represent who you really are and what you're about in 140 characters and I like having more creative control over social media. Facebook allows this and also reaches out to a wider audience. Some of our fans are 16, while some are 60.
"Facebook is more recognised channel, whereas many people I know still don't understand Twitter. Facebook is the easiest site to get people engaged because your updates land in their own personal feed, keeping your presence known, without being intrusive. You can combine links, photos, feedback and status updates plus receive comments all in one place - which is why I think it's best."
Allie Astell of Manage My Website
