A group calling itself the Voters League of Unincorporated West Jefferson LLC wants the parish to contest the results of the toll renewal election.
In an e-mail to Parish President John Young, council members and state legislators chairman Wade Perrin calls it obscene that a proposal voted on by 310,000 people passed by what he calls the "highly questionable margin" of 16 votes.
Perrin says many residents are concerned about the appearance of impropriety. He calls on the leaders to contest the results saying, "it is imperative the electorate has complete confidence in any election, especially one that imposes a nearly one-half billion dollar tax primarily upon the westbank population of the greater new Orleans region over the next 20 | http://www.fox8live.com/story/20148643/west-jefferson-group-calls-for-parish-to-contest-tolls-vote | 2013-05-18T10:53:18 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
European officials are considering whether to offer Spain a precautionary credit line via the bloc's rescue fund to help it shore up its ailing banking sector, a German newspaper reported on Tuesday, citing several unidentified sources.
"Spain could apply for precautionary aid even before the Greek elections and before it presents a report on the state of its banks," Die Welt newspaper said, citing the sources, in a preview of an article that will appear in its Wednesday edition.
Greece goes to the polls on June 17.
The report said a credit line would give Spain the option of trying to raise funds on its own for recapitalising its banks, and then tapping the external aid if it failed to raise enough.
Two Spanish government sources denied earlier on Tuesday that Spain needed or wanted a precautionary credit line from the European Financial Stability Facility or the International Monetary Fund.

Julie and Brett Redden are in a hurry for the paperwork to go through for the 6-year-old girl they are planning to adopt from China.
It's not just that they are impatient to start their lives with her as she joins an 11-year-old sister adopted from China two months ago. The Reddens are also playing a game of "beat the clock" so they can take advantage of a generous federal adoption tax credit.
They have already missed out on the refundable 2011 credit, which allowed tax savings of as much as $13,360 per child. In 2012, the credit is $12,650 and not refundable -- meaning if their total tax bill is less than the amount of the credit, they will not get additional money back from the Internal Revenue Service.
But the Redden's real worry is that the adoption will not be completed by year's end. And unless Congress acts, that credit will expire on Dec. 31, 2012.
"We are not rich. We are very middle-income, and we have scraped and saved and done everything humanly possible to bring these girls home," said Julie Redden, a 31-year-old teacher in Houston.
Redden said she expects adoption costs for both girls to top $50,000, and there will be ongoing medical expenses because both have special needs -- the older child is legally blind, while the younger one has cerebral palsy.
"The tax credit will be enormously helpful to pay for medical bills," Julie says.
SHIFTING RULES
The rules shift regularly on the adoption tax credit, making planning difficult, especially when combined with the uncertainties of adoption itself, which can typically cost $25,000 or more and take months to years to complete.
"The adoption tax credit has never been a permanent part of the tax code, so every year, or few years, you have to deal with what's going to happen it," Chuck Johnson, president of the National Council for Adoption, said.
This year, the credit is not refundable but families that cannot use the entire credit in 2012 can carry the unused credit forward for up to five years, using it to offset their income taxes through 2017.
Next year, without an extension, all that will remain of the adoption tax credit will be a much smaller $6,000 credit for domestic adoption for children classified as having "special needs," a determination made at the state level.
If that sounds confusing -- it is.
Last week, in an early legislative effort to deal with the adoption credit's changeability, Rep. Bruce Braley, an Iowa Democrat, introduced a bill that would make a $13,360 refundable adoption tax credit permanent.
Mark McDermott, a Washington, D.C., adoption attorney who serves as legislative director of the American Academy of Adoption Attorneys, believes there will be a credit in 2013, but that it will be enacted as part of a larger tax and finance bill.
"I don't think any stand-alone bill will pass," McDermott said. "That's the way things happen on the Hill."
CONFUSING RULES
Not surprisingly, there has been confusion over the rules and processing delays.
"It's quite a rich benefit," said Kathy Pickering, executive director of the Tax Institute at H&R Block. "We've had a number of conversations with the folks at the IRS because there is still a lot of confusion around the rules. Some people have not been claiming that credit, or not been claiming the full benefit."
To claim the credit, file Form 8839 along with supporting documentation. The paperwork varies, depending on whether you are adopting domestically or internationally and whether you are adopting a special-needs child. Parents who should have qualified for a 2011 credit but missed it can file an amended return to maximize their savings.
(For more details, see: )
For a regular adoption, whether domestic or foreign, you can claim the credit up to the amount of your expenses (including adoption fees, attorneys fees, court costs, travel expenses, etc). While for a U.S. special-needs child you may qualify for the full amount of the credit even if you paid few or no adoption-related expenses.
In 2010, nearly 100,000 taxpayers claimed the credit for a total $1.2 billion.
Expect the IRS to take its time examining your return. Roughly 68 percent of those who claimed the credit in 2010 were subject to what the IRS calls a "correspondence audit," a request for more information, according to a U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) study. Only 17 percent of them were assessed additional tax, and in no cases were the adoption credits claimed fraudulently.
"IRS used a disproportionate share of its audit resources on the adoption credit," the GAO report said.
When Kelly and Jeff Elliott claimed the tax credit for adopting their now 2-year-old daughter Kaylee from Ethiopia in 2010, the process dragged out for months.
"They wanted to see piece of paperwork after piece of paperwork. It got kind of ridiculous," Kelly recalled, noting that they did ultimately receive a check for the full credit.
The Elliotts, who live in Klamath Falls, Oregon, are in the process of adopting three Ethiopian siblings. Kelly said that with all the costs of adoption, they hope to get the full credit again.
With a big family and a middle-class income -- Jeff is a munitions supervisor at the nearby Air Force training base, while Kelly works a few hours a week as a Head Start consultant -- they would like to buy a car that would fit their whole family.
"The credit would be a godsend this year," Kelly said. (Amy Feldman; Editing by Chelsea Emery, Linda Stern and Maureen Bavdek) | http://www.foxbusiness.com/news/2012/04/24/column-families-race-to-adopt-before-us-tax-credit-ends/print | 2013-05-18T10:12:27 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
MELBOURNE – BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto are set to report this week solid iron output for the September quarter, but prices and cost will be the top concern for the miners as even their most profitable division is hurt by slower Chinese demand.
The production reports by BHP, the world's biggest miner, and Rio Tinto, the No.3 miner, will be closely watched for signs of how weaker consumption of steel in China is playing out on demand for commodities such as iron ore and coal.
Weaker demand for resources is fueling worries that a decade-long mining boom in Australia is faltering. BHP and Rio have in recent months been cutting jobs, closing coal mines, shelving expansions, selling assets and scaling back spending.
The main concern of investors is how the companies manage profit margins for iron ore, given that they are among the lowest cost producers and will continue digging as much as they can, shareholders and analysts said.
"The biggest challenge is managing costs. It's not a question around volumes," said Ric Ronge, a portfolio manager at Pengana Capital, which owns shares in Rio Tinto and BHP.
Rio Tinto, the world's no.2 iron ore miner behind Brazil's Vale
Despite a 34 percent rebound in iron ore prices from a low of $87 a metric ton (1.1023 tons) in September, prices remain more than 20 percent below this year's high.
"Given the volatility over the past quarter, investors will be looking for the companies' comments on current market conditions, particularly for steel making raw materials," said Rob Craigie, an analyst at broker FW Holst.
Fortescue is likely to give the clearest view on market conditions as it is the only one of the three iron ore miners holding a briefing after its production report.
FOCUS ON SHIPMENTS
Any reduction in shipments rather than production would provide more evidence of weaker demand in China, where steel mills had been running down stocks of iron ore to historically low levels as local, higher cost iron ore producers continued to dig up ore despite losing money.
Rio Tinto said this week that around 100 million metric tons of Chinese iron ore output had become unprofitable.
For Rio, UBS is forecasting iron ore production at its Pilbara operations in Western Australia to fall 4.8 percent from the June quarter to 47.3 million metric tons in the September quarter, but said shipments could increase using supply from inventory.
Analysts expect the firm to maintain its production guidance at 250 million metric tons on a 100 percent basis for calendar 2012.
UBS expects BHP's iron exports to be flat quarter on quarter and possibly down slightly, as export figures from Port Hedland, used by BHP and Fortescue, showed a 4 percent drop for the September quarter from the June quarter.
Fortescue is expected to report a 15 percent drop in iron ore shipments quarter on quarter due to its expansion work, following a record in the June quarter, but the focus will be on progress on its ramp up to 115 million metric tons a year capacity.
The debt-laden firm last month slammed the brakes on its plan to triple capacity to 155 million metric tons this year as the iron ore price slump forced it to slash spending. It managed to raise $5 billion last week, $500 million more than planned, to help refinance debt and shore up its funding.
COAL GLOOM
Coal prices are an even bigger concern than iron ore prices, as demand for both thermal coal for power and metallurgical coal for steel making have been depressed by China's slowdown.
Spot prices for metallurgical coal are down more than 25 percent since July at around $150 a metric ton, while thermal coal has fallen about 30 percent this year to $86 a metric ton. Production cuts by major miners are expected to help shore up the market.
"BHP's proactive stance is certainly necessary but will also help stabilize the market sooner than would have been the case," said Octa Phillip analyst Lawrence Grech.
While BHP has shut its Norwich Park mine and is in the process of closing its Gregory mine in Queensland state, UBS expects its output to rise slightly thanks to the end of work stoppages at the BHP Mitsubishi Alliance mines that were hit by an 18-month dispute.
On copper, a bright spot for both companies in the year ahead, improving grades are expected to boost production sharply over the next 12 months.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - Ryan Kesler of the Vancouver Canucks has ended Pavel Datsyuk's three-year run as the NHL's best defensive forward.
Kesler topped Detroit's Datsyuk and Chicago's Jonathan Toews for the Selke Trophy during a show at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas.
Kesler led the NHL forwards in blocked shots and won more than 57 percent of his faceoffs, a career high.
Datsyuk was trying to match Bob Gainey by winning the Selke in four consecutive years. Montreal's Gainey took it from 1978-82.
Toews won a league-high 937 faceoffs, nearly 57 percent. He blocked 28 shots and led Chicago forwards with a plus-25 rating. | http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2011/06/22/kesler-not-datsyuk-nhls-top-defensive-forward/print | 2013-05-18T10:21:51 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
WASHINGTON – She was a 91-year-old expatriate journalist with a deep fluency in foreign affairs and a taste for fashion and art. Her husband, German-born and four decades her junior, boasted of wide-reaching connections in international circles, claimed to be an Iraqi army brigadier general and strolled the neighborhood in a military-style uniform while puffing cigars.
The peculiar marriage of Viola Drath and Albrecht Muth, by turns tempestuous and detached, ended last August when Drath was found dead inside the couple's fashionable row house. Her husband, who reported finding her body, was charged with murder.
The slaying of an elderly socialite in the tony Georgetown neighborhood captivated Washington. But the substance of the allegations has so far been overshadowed by bizarre twists and turns that have lent the case a circus-like atmosphere and veered it off-course.
Muth, 47, has fired his lawyers, suggested the killing was an Iranian hit and demanded the right to wear in court a military uniform that prosecutors say was actually tailor-made for him in South Carolina. He has gone on hunger strikes, likened himself to Moses and Jesus and reported visions of the archangel Gabriel. As prosecutors seek an indictment, a judge has sent Muth to a mental hospital and ordered a psychiatric evaluation before he can stand trial. An assessment of his mental competency is expected next month.
Friends say they were befuddled by the marriage. Drath was a stately presence in political and social circles; Muth appeared a much-younger poseur. They say she gravitated to him to placate her loneliness after her first husband's death while he glommed onto her social status to gain access to a world of dignitaries. It was a marriage, Muth has said, of "convenience." But it was also tainted by allegations of domestic violence and interrupted by Muth's affair with a man.
"My own view was it was kind of odd for a woman of her heritage and a woman of her brains to marry a young guy like that. What is it — a 40-year difference?" said Warren Adler, a novelist who met Drath when she wrote on culture and fashion for a magazine, "Washington Dossier," his wife edited.
She told him it was comfortable; he left it alone.
Drath's family wouldn't discuss the relationship, but one daughter said the death of a mentally sharp woman whose energy and intellectual heft belied her age has been devastating.
"She had many years ahead of her. We had many plans, and it's just left a huge hole," Fran Drath said.
Drath, who was born in Dusseldorf, Germany, and moved to America with her first husband after World War II, balanced varied passions as a young woman: She wrote plays and books, including one on former West German chancellor Willy Brandt, studied painting and covered art and fashion. She was also passionate about German-American relations, proposing negotiations on German reunification and authoring columns for The Washington Times and Handelsblatt, a German newspaper.
She took fact-finding missions to foreign countries, lectured at colleges and served on commissions. She organized dinner parties and celebrations, including a 60th anniversary commemoration of Victory-In-Europe Day where guests were greeted with a bagpipe serenade, according to a Washington Times report at the time.
"I would not characterize her as particularly a socialite. She was more intellectual. She wore hats which people didn't wear, and she was always beautifully coiffed and dressed in what I always thought of as old-world tradition," Adler said.
She met her first husband, Col. Francis Drath, a U.S. Army official and deputy U.S. military governor of Bavaria, when she was hired to be his interpreter in Europe. It was instant love, their daughter recalled. The couple wed after the war and settled in Nebraska before moving to Washington in 1968 because of Francis Drath's Selective Service System job.
They were devoted companions. After Francis's 1986 death, Viola Drath spoke openly of her loneliness.
"I think she wanted what she'd had before, which is somebody who loved her, somebody who shielded her, somebody to stand up against the world for her," said friend Donna Shor, who writes a society column for Washington Life magazine.
Added Fran Drath: "My mother did not want to be by herself. She missed a great companion."
Enter Albrecht Muth.
Muth claims to have encountered Drath in the early 1980s. At the time, he says, he was helping organize foreign press relations for Republicans in Washington. In Muth, she seemed to have found an intellectually curious younger man knowledgeable about Germany and international affairs, a daily partner for heady, topical conversation.
"I changed her life," Muth wrote in an email shared with The Associated Press. "Opening up vistas she could now take, could have taken decades earlier."
Details of his biography remain murky, but a 1990 wedding announcement in The Washington Post identified Muth as a prelaw honor student and godson of an East German politician. They were wed by a Virginia Supreme Court chief justice. Muth says he first asked U.S. Supreme Court Antonin Scalia to officiate.
In conversation, he'd smoothly name-drop foreign politicians and discuss international affairs with a fluency that made him seem authentic. Unsolicited, he'd dash off cryptic emails sprinkled with acronyms and intimations of inside information. Hours before his arrest, he shared with the AP an email to someone with a Pentagon address discussing both his wife's death and Iraqi government turmoil.
"I have to take a slain wife out to Arlington, mourn her, then find her killer," he wrote.
Muth, with his military uniform, erudite speech and regal airs, fancied himself a "lead actor in a drama," Shor said. He played the role of the "perfect butler" at dinner parties, said George Schwab, a friend of Drath's and the president of the National Committee on American Foreign Policy.
"He always struck me as being the perfect waiter, the way he served with one hand in the back," Schwab said. "Everything was just perfect as if he had gone to school."
After attending a dinner party he organized, Shor contacted him to fact-check something for an item she was writing.
Muth erupted.
"He said, 'No, you must not write about that dinner,'" Shor recalled. "And I said, 'What?' And he said, 'I said anything said there was off the record.'"
Shor was flabbergasted, believing nothing particularly interesting had been shared.
Over the years and in different circumstances, prosecutors say, he claimed to be an East German spy and CIA operative, among other identities. He sometimes sported an eye patch, the better to support a tall tale about having lost an eye while protecting the U.S. ambassador to Paraguay. He showed off certificates purporting to designate him an Iraqi brigadier general, but prosecutors say those were store-bought.
In reality, authorities say, Muth was unemployed, supported by a monthly allowance from his wife. The Iraqi embassy says he's not connected to the government or military.
Some of Drath's friends say she recognized Muth's claims as fantasy. Shor recalled he was once up for an honor and Drath asked her to intercede and prevent him from winning — fearing he'd be humiliated and exposed as a fraud. Schwab once inquired of Muth's eye patch; Drath said Muth was "just trying to call attention to himself."
Beneath the formal demeanor were signs of trouble.
Muth was charged with assaulting Drath by banging her head against the floor and striking her with a chair in 2006. A man with whom Muth has acknowledged a romantic relationship received a protective order in 2004, alleging Muth threatened to kill him.
The morning of Aug. 12, Muth called 911 after finding his wife unresponsive in an upstairs bathroom. He emailed reporters an obituary, stating Drath had died of head injuries from a fall. But her death was called a homicide. Detectives grew suspicious.
There were no signs anyone had broken into the home, Muth became anxious when police observed scratches on his forehead, and a neighbor reported hearing a faint cry and "sinister laugh," a police affidavit says. Upon Drath's death, police said, he presented her family with a forged document stating that he was entitled to part of her estate.
He was charged Aug. 16 with second-degree murder. He has proclaimed his innocence and, at his first court hearing, a public defender called the evidence lacking. Muth later fired his lawyers in part for failing to relay his messages to the White House and Defense Department, though a judge this month declared him temporarily incompetent for trial and directed the attorneys to step in amid concerns about his mental and physical health.
Meanwhile, the case now turns on whether Muth is competent for trial and, if not now, when he might be.
A doctor has described him as "delusional;" others see an abusive swindler.
Schwab, for one, said he tried to warn Drath away from Muth.
"I kept on saying, 'Viola, my fear is your life is at stake.'"
Her reply: "I know, I know — but I am in control."

Just take a second for the weight of that title to settle in. Minecraft has taken over the throne as the most played video game on Xbox Live, surpassing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 in unique users.
Call of Duty has had at least one title in the top 10 most played games on Xbox Live nearly constantly for the last 5 years. The franchise has dominated the top spot for almost all of that time, only giving it up for a few weeks at a time when a brand new game launches on the console. Minecraft is not a new game on Xbox Live, it is simply proving to be a more popular game than Modern Warfare 3.
We have to wonder if this speaks to the incredible popularity of Minecraft or to the increasingly stale 'Call of Duty formula' that we hear so much about in this community. Call of Duty has, more or less, been the same game for nearly a half-dozen years now. Yes, there have been new features, new settings and updates to the core game engine but, just the same, the core of Call of Duty has not changed since Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare hit shelves in 2007. While Call of Duty is growing stale, it would be doing Minecraft a great disservice to pin their success on Call of Duty's stagnancy.
Minecraft is a game that surpassed 1 million sales in one week after launching on Xbox 360 this year and a game that currently has 7.8 million registered users on PC. Minecraft's popularity should not be attributed to the failure of other great games to claim the top spot, but rather the dedication and talent of the folks at Mojang and their incredibly passionate fan base.
If you're into Minecraft, we suggest checking out but, hey, if you're a fan of Minecraft, you've already been there, haven't you?

Murdoch assaulted at UK parliament hearing
A British parliamentary hearing into the illegal phone-hacking scandal was briefly interrupted on Tuesday when an intruder wielding a plate of white foam targeted News Corp chief Rupert Murdoch. Murdoch was splattered but uninjured.
AFP - Media mogul Rupert Murdoch was hit with a foam pie while testifying to a British parliamentary committee and a man was arrested, an AFP correspondent reported.
Murdoch's wife Wendi Deng, who was also in the hearing, leapt up and appeared to hit out at the unidentified man after the incident, in which the News Corp. chief was hit on the shoulder.
The hearing was suspended for 10 minutes.
The Guardian newspaper and Sky News named the attacker as a comedian called Jonnie Marbles.
In a message on his Twitter account shortly before the incident, he said: "It is a far better thing that I do now than I have ever done before #splat."
London's Metropolitan Police had no immediate information.
The incident happened at 4:54 pm (1554 GMT) as the Murdoch and his son James were about to face the last questioner, Conservative lawmaker Louise Mensch. Someone shouted "no, no, no, no!" as a man in a checked shirt approached the pair from their left and attacked Rupert Murdoch with the plate.
James Murdoch looked shocked by the incident but could not stop the attack, while Mensch had her mouth open aghast as the man hit the 80-year-old, who remained seated throughout.
He attempted to protect his head and took his glasses off. Foam could be clearly seen across his right shoulder.
An uniformed policeman rushed across to apprehend the assailant as a man shouted "outrageous!".
"The sitting is suspended for 10 minutes," chairman John Whittingdale said.
Police detained the attacker outside the room, who had white foam across his face and shirt. He was handcuffed behind his back and led away by a single officer.
Witness Andy Thompson, a member of the public from Vancouver, western Canada, said he saw the attacker lunge towards Murdoch holding a green bag with shaving foam in it.
When the session resumed, Murdoch was without his jacket.
Earlier, within seconds of the start of the session, two people stood up three rows behind them with signs reading "The People Vs Murdoch".
"Excuse me, can we not have that, please?", Whittingdale asked, before having the pair removed.

Hepatitis B
Hepatitis B is a serious, life-threatening viral infection 100 times more contagious and easier to get than HIV. Hepatitis B is passed from person to person either directly from those already infected or indirectly from their bodily fluids. The hepatitis B virus can live for more than a week in dried blood or in bodily fluids on clothing or other surfaces.
There are four common ways of contracting the disease. The first way is through the skin by way of cuts, scrapes, needle sticks or sharing needles. It also can be transferred through the eyes or mouth by exposure to blood or other bodily fluids. The third way is through sexual contact. Lastly, the disease can be passed through contact between an infected mother and her newborn child during birth and early infancy.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, adolescence and young adulthood are the periods with the highest hepatitis B risk. The best way to protect against the virus is to get vaccinated with a series of three shots over six months.
Because it is so contagious and college age students are at risk for contracting it, Ohio law stipulates that all students living in residential housing for colleges must inform the college of their vaccination status as a requirement for living in the residence hall. Residence Life staff will require that you inform them of the dates that you have had this vaccine and understand the benefits/risks of the vaccine, and sign a form to document this information..
Ohio law requires that all students living in the residence halls notify the university/college of their vaccination status for meningitis. The Residence Life staff will require that you inform them of the dates that you have received this vaccine and understand the risks/benefits of the vaccine, and sign a form to document this information.

The U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention has calculated that a drug resistant staph bacterium known as MRSA is responsible for more than 94,000 serious infections in the USA each year. Here are the FAQs about this infection to keep you informed and healthy.
The most basic and important thing we can do to prevent the spread of this or any disease is to use good hand washing technique.
If you think you have MRSA or if you would like to know more about it, contact the Health Center at Ext.7223 or your personal physician for more information.

Strategic Plan
Area 1: Retrieving and Communicating The Franciscan Intellectual Tradition
Goal I: To better articulate and clarify the nature of the Franciscan Intellectual Tradition
Means: To develop a working paper that seeks to articulate some of the broad outlines of "Franciscan theology." As Kenan Osborne described it:
Franciscan theology is not a 'new' theology; rather it is a traditional form of theology which emphasized certain basic ideas in contrast to other, traditional forms of theology (see "Alexander of Hales," in The History of Franciscan Theology,29).
Responsibility:
William Short and Ilia Delio (A working draft completed).
Goal II: To ensure ongoing attention to the development of the Franciscan Intellectual Tradition as an alternative and orthodox theology for the contemporary Church and world.
Means: To establish a commission of the ESC (Task Force) as a coordinating and facilitating group to assist the Provincials in exercising their fiduciary responsibilities for the stewardship of the Franciscan Intellectual Tradition.
- Responsibility: It is recommended that the OFM English- Speaking Provincials appoint a standing Commission on the Franciscan Intellectual Tradition (CFIT). This Commission would be sponsored by the ESC and composed of representatives from the study centers and from the wider Franciscan family. It would serve as an institutional resource on the Franciscan intellectual tradition to the provincials, to other bodies of the ESC (e.g. Initial and Continuing Formation Directors, and to the wider body of the Franciscan family). It would be asked to coordinate some of the numerous activities which are recommended in this report. The Commission would also be charged with the responsibility of coordinating efforts that are already taking place (e.g. the annual symposium at the Washington Theological Union, publication efforts) so that over a period of time a coherent contemporary outline of the major themes of the Franciscan Intellectual Tradition can be presented.
- Plan: Promote studies and encourage scholars and scholarship among those who are in initial formation and among those friars who are already engaged in mission as Itinerant Franciscan Scholars. This is a new category of Franciscan scholar that has emerged in the last ten to fifteen years. This demands a willingness to:
- See scholarship as a vocation and a ministry;
- View studies/scholarship as a form of service to a Province, Order, Church, world;
- Actively encourage capable individuals to develop the competence to articulate the tradition and/or to consider the tradition as a resource for doing practical-pastoral theology; and
- Institutionally value those itinerant scholars who are not aligned with centers of learning but who are actively involved in translating, writing and networking and/or travel in retreat work.
- Responsibility: It is recommended that, through the ESC Provincials, a policy on promoting and encouraging studies be included in the ministerial and formational plan of every Province in the conference. A good beginning can be found in the Order's own Ratio Studiorum, a document which needs active and institutionalized application in the English Speaking world.
- Plan: Explore the viability of establishing an International English Speaking Academy of Franciscan Scholars (IEAFS). For historic precedent see Franciscan Education Conference (1914-70). The purpose of the IEAFS would be to:
- organize an ongoing gathering of scholars (annual/ bi-annual);
- provide a forum committed to critical reflection on the intellectual tradition as a contemporary resource;
- enable networking and exchanges of insights, and scholarly activity;
- encourage a thoughtful critique of contemporary questions drawing on the resources of the Franciscan Intellectual Tradition.
- Responsibility: It is recommended that the ESC ask the Commission on the Franciscan Intellectual Tradition to assume responsibility for laying the foundation for - testing the waters of interest in - a gathering of scholars [friars, sisters, others] to take place by June 2003. At least the first two meetings of the "academy" will require funding for the purposes of initially organizing, gathering, and establishing the group. It is recommended that the ESC approach the Board of the Academy of American Franciscan History and/or the Bonfils Foundation to see if they would be willing and able to provide funding for these endeavors.
- Plan: To establish a Web Page dedicated to the Franciscan Intellectual Tradition. The Web Page would include:
- a listing of resource persons
- a listing of works in progress
- a bibliography on selected topics
- an announcement of resources available; e.g. calendar of events
- courses, programs, gatherings, homily helps, on-line publications, etc.
- a network of those lay scholars working in Franciscan studies who are not connected with Franciscan institutions.
- Recommendation: It is recommended that the ESC appoint a Webmaster charged with the responsibility of establishing and maintaining this Web Page by January 2002.The hiring of a Webmaster can be done in conjunction with one of the major institutions but it may require some funding for national service and will be at the disposition of the ESC. Its usefulness and effectiveness should be reviewed by the ESC in 2005. | http://www.franciscantradition.org/about/strategic-plan | 2013-05-18T10:12:04 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

ZZT en
ZZT is an ANSI character-based video game, created in 1991 by Tim Sweeney of Potomac Computer Systems which became Epic MegaGames in 1992. It remains a popular MS-DOS game creation system.. Often referred to as ANSI, the character set used in the game is actually IBM/MS-DOS Code page 437 which differs from the most common form of ANSI found today, Windows-1252. Despite the outdated graphics, built-in editor, but rather involved writing programs to make the game run. Wikipedia [ - ]

Freedom on the Net
Belarus
Belarus, often known as “Europe’s last dictatorship,” is run by the autocratic regime of President Alexander Lukashenka. There has been no separation of powers in Minsk since 1996, and Belarus regularly falls near the bottom of international rankings of media freedom. The authorities control the absolute majority of traditional mass media, including all broadcast outlets and daily newspapers, and approximately 70 percent of the economy remains in state hands. Due to this centralization, there is a high degree of government involvement in the electronic communications sector.
The BYnet, as Belarus’ internet sector is known, experienced a dramatic year in 2011. The country’s steady economic development and government’s robust investment over the past several years, as well as a relative liberalization during the 2008-10 period of dialogue with the European Union, led to steady growth in internet penetration and usage. Meanwhile, the regime’s control over traditional media pushed independent media outlets to be more creative and innovative online, where its websites have multiplied and consistently dominated those of the state in terms of quality and popularity. In 2011, web-based independent media played a much more visible role and attracted a larger audience than ever before. The expansion in internet penetration also led to the strong growth of Belarusians active on social-networking sites.
However, the country’s political crisis—which followed a flawed presidential election in December 2010—the resulting economic crisis that spanned 2011, as well as the Arab Spring events, have intensified the government’s fear of the internet and its determination to exert greater control over it. Among the targets of an unprecedented crackdown at the end of 2010 were independent media, especially internet outlets and journalists. This repression of online activists was expanded to include bloggers after social-networking sites were used to organize a series of mass protests in summer 2011.
As a result, President Lukashenka repeatedly called for tighter regulation of the internet, blaming it for the country’s unrest while praising China’s internet restrictions. In August 2011, for example, Lukashenka stated that access to destructive websites must be blocked[1] and that the internet should be controlled in educational institutions to rule out its use for purposes other than education. In September 2011, Prosecutor General Ryhor Vasilevich called for an international agreement that would introduce internet censorship, suggesting that such an agreement could be drawn up at the level of the United Nations.[2]
During 2011, new amendments stipulating financial penalties for violating an already restrictive internet law were introduced. Independent websites and personal blogs were blacklisted and regularly blocked. Online activists were harassed, threatened, persecuted, arrested and imprisoned. Nevertheless, further legal restrictions and harsh repression have failed to halt the growth and dynamism of the Belarusian internet.
Relatively strong economic growth in Belarus over the last half decade has led to a corresponding growth in internet and mobile phone usage. According to the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), Belarus had an internet penetration rate of 40 percent in 2011, up from 16 percent in 2006.[3] In addition, the country’s four mobile phone operators had a combined 10.7 million subscribers, for a total penetration rate of 113 percent in 2011.[4] All four mobile operators offer internet access and approximately 4,100 of the country’s 14,600 base stations are 3G capable, allowing faster internet and multimedia downloading.[5]
Internet use grew quickly in 2011 because and in spite of an economic and political crisis that followed the flawed December 2010 presidential election. An unprecedented crackdown against civil society, a series of public protests, a decline in citizens’ confidence in the state media, and a currency collapse led to an increased demand for alternative sources of information, especially via the internet. At the same time, the economic crisis did not increase internet costs, prompting many to start using the internet as a key source for news, entertainment, and as a tool for social interaction.
Approximately 76 percent of users in Belarus access the internet on a daily basis.[6] The key divide in levels of access is not so as much between rural and urban populations—since some 70 percent of Belarusians live in urban areas—as between the country’s capital and regions. Over 38 percent of all internet users live in Minsk and the Minsk region.[7] Another significant determinant of internet use is age: the majority of internet users in Belarus are young people and only 7 percent of users are aged 55 and above.[8] Almost 92 percent of all users regularly access the internet at home, and 31.8 percent do so at work. Internet cafes are the least popular point of access, with just 4.3 percent of users utilizing them frequently.[9]
In November 2011, more than 62 percent of users reported having broadband access, while 8.5 percent reported using dial-up, and 11.3 percent accessed via mobile phone connections. The cost of broadband access via DSL and cable is generally tied to volume, reflecting the pricing structure that Beltelecom—the state-owned telecommunications monopoly—uses when selling bandwidth to downstream internet service providers (ISPs). This makes it somewhat expensive to download large items like music or movies, but for common activities such as email and web browsing, the volume surcharges do not create a barrier for most users. Unlimited internet access service was launched by Beltelecom in 2007. Initially quite expensive, it has become more affordable, and prices in rubles (ranging from US$5-$35 per month, depending on the speed) remained unchanged in 2011, despite high inflation and several currency devaluations.
The rapid increase in internet penetration has also resulted in the growth of citizens’ activity on social-networking sites. Since November 2010, the number of Facebook users has increased by 2.5 times, reaching over 370,000 accounts by May 2012.[10] As of October 2011, there were 315,000 users in the popular local social network Vceti.by, over 632,000 Belarusian bloggers on LiveJournal, and about 1.2 million Belarusian users of the Russian social network, Odnoklassniki.ru.[11] The Russian VKontakte continues to be the most popular social network service, counting 2.5 million accounts registered in Belarus, and is the third most accessed site in the country.[12] While Belarus has two official languages—Belarusian and Russian—the majority of citizens use Russian in daily life. As a result, most online software is in Russian, although some popular software is also available in Belarusian, often translated by local enthusiasts.
There is no independent regulator overseeing ICTs in Belarus. Rather, the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology handles regulatory functions. In addition, the Presidential Administration’s Operational and Analytical Center (OAC) has the authority to oversee ISPs, conduct overseas online surveillance, and manage the country’s top-level domain (“.by”).[13] Created in 2008, it replaced the State Center for Information Security, which was part of the Committee for State Security (KGB). Other key bodies include the State Telecommunications Inspectorate, State Control Committee, and Prosecutor General’s Office.
Beltelecom and the National Center for Traffic Exchange, established by the government in 2011, remain the only entities with the right to handle connections with internet providers outside of Belarus. Plans to open up international connections to other operators, including private companies, were put on hold in January 2011 after the Ministry of Communications reported that no bids to compete for licenses were received.[14] Beltelecom also holds a monopoly over fixed-line communications and internet services inside Belarus. In July 2011, the government reiterated that it has no plans to privatize Beltelecom.[15] The Ministry of Communications has issued 180 licenses for secondary ISPs, though only 56 active secondary ISPs currently operate in Belarus. The Beltelecom subsidiary Belpak remains the largest ISP.
The controversial Decree No. 60, “On Measures to Improve the Use of the National Segment of the Internet,” which was enacted on February 1, 2010 and came into effect on July 1, 2010, has had a mixed impact. In terms of regulation, one requirement of the edict is that all legal entities operating in the “.by” domain must use Belarusian hosting services.[16] This provision does not apply to sites belonging to individuals. However, a personal site that is hosted on a national provider, including internet resources providing free hosting, is subject to compulsory registration by the ISP. Media rights advocates interpret this aspect of the edict as a means of ensuring greater government control over the internet.[17] By December 2011, there were 44,000 domains in the “.by” zone—17,000 were registered in 2011 alone. Some of this increase was due not only to the new decree but also the financial crisis, which made registering a “.by” domain four times cheaper in 2011.[18]
In November 2011, Article 22.12 on “The Violation of Demands on the Use of the National Segment of the Internet” was added to the Administrative Code. The new amendments, which established fines for violations of Decree No. 60, came into force on January 6, 2012. A legal entity or a sole entrepreneur may now be penalized with a modest fine for “selling goods or providing services” in Belarus with the help of websites not registered in Belarus. However, the OAC, which is in charge of enforcing the decree,[19] denied that the new law effectively prohibits Belarusian businesses from advertising and selling their goods or services abroad with the help of foreign-registered websites,[20] despite the language in the law that suggests this.
The new regulations also include a modest fine for internet cafes that fail to keep records of users’ personal data, time spent online, and internet traffic, as well as for ISPs that fail to keep similar records.[21] To date, the major impact of the edict has been on internet cafes, which are required to ask users to show identification before going online. This measure has proved to be unpopular with customers and, as a result, business has suffered and some cafes have closed. The new regulations have also threatened to increase costs for ISPs, who are required to install the necessary monitoring and filtering equipment. While heavily criticized by media rights activists, Decree No. 60 and its amendments have not, to date, limited the growth or the dynamism of the Belarusian internet.
Decree No. 60 introduced for the first time official mechanisms by which ISPs are required to block access to restricted information, such as pornography and material that incites violence, although by law the authorities are authorized to institute such blocking only in state institutions or when sought by individual users. In practice, however, the government has for a number of years engaged in ad hoc efforts to limit access to internet content deemed contrary to its interests,[22] though Beltelecom typically cited technical problems instead of admitting to blocking. The authorities have regularly blocked certain websites on election days, select holidays important to the democratic opposition, and during protests.
In June 2010, the Ministry of Telecommunications and the OAC issued a regulation that called for the creation of two lists cataloging the URLs of all websites that should be blocked; one list is open to the public, whereas the other list is accessible only by ISPs.[23] As of January 2012, the publicly accessible list did not contain any URLs,[24] while the number of URLs on the closed list remains unknown. The State Telecommunications Inspectorate claims that it has blacklisted 35 websites, most of which contain pornographic content.[25] But based on unofficial information leaked by an internet provider, the latter blacklist counts up to 60 websites[26] and includes two of the country’s most popular independent news and information websites, Charter97.org and Belaruspartisan.org, the website of the Viasna Human Rights Center, and the political blog of the popular independent commentator Yauhien Lipkovich.[27] The Prosecutor General’s Office confirmed that Charter97.org and Belaruspartisan.org are, indeed, on the restricted list.[28] State bodies authorized to add items to the blacklist include law enforcement agencies such as the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Prosecutor General’s Office, and KGB. To date, the blocking is said to be limited to state agencies, including cultural and educational institutions. However, independent sources suggest that, as of early 2012, the blocking was not being implemented and that a variety of opposition and independent sites, including those alleged to be on the blacklist, were still available at government offices and state universities.[29]
Under the November 2011 amendments—which stipulate fines for violating Decree No. 60—ISPs that provide customers with access to blacklisted websites will be required to pay a small fine. More generally and outside of the context of state institutions, ISPs seem to be quite inconsistent in their blocking practices; some have blocked access to blacklisted sites without users’ request, which is technically illegal under the decree, while others have ignored the blacklist.[30] In December 2011, Beltelecom selectively blocked certain websites in the Vitebsk region that did not change their domain name system (DNS) servers’ settings to comply with state recommendations. Consequently, Charter97.org and several other websites were temporarily unavailable in the Vitebsk region.[31]
Furthermore, access to Charter97.org, as well as Facebook, Vkontakte and Odnoklassniki, is blocked in the luxury hotel “Europe” in Minsk, based on a decision made by the hotel’s administration.[32] In January 2012, the BelCel mobile phone operator acknowledged that it occasionally blocked access to opposition websites without clients’ permission.[33] In order to limit access to information regarding the summer 2011 “silent protests” and prevent the organizing of new civic actions, one of the largest Vkontatke communities involved in calling for protests in Minsk with over 120,000 users was deleted from the website on July 2, 2011, under the pretext that this group was spreading spam.[34]
Local media rights groups have argued that the regulations adopted during the last two years reflect an alarming trend towards greater control of the internet and that many provisions remain vague and unclear. For example, the procedure of including sites in the blacklist is nontransparent. According to Andrey Bastunets, deputy chairman of the Belarusian Association of Journalists, the illegal methods used by the security services are a greater threat to the internet than legal restrictions, but both are being used in tandem to further limit internet freedom.[35]
The government is also employing direct and indirect economic pressure to undercut financial support for certain sites. A series of restrictive amendments to the Law on Public Associations and Criminal Code were passed secretly in October 2011 and came into force a month later. Of importance were provisions that made it a criminal offense for nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) to receive foreign funding. Since most online independent media outlets are run as NGOs, the new amendments constitute a grave threat to civil society, including free media, in Belarus.[36]
Most independent news and information websites are at an economic disadvantage because state and private companies are afraid to place commercial advertisements on them. Moreover, there is an unwritten rule advising that companies connected with the state should not advertise in the independent media, including internet publications. As a result, even the most popular independent or opposition websites, such as Charter97.org and NN.by, generate little or no advertising revenue. Since this ban on advertising exists only in the form of an oral recommendation, media and human rights groups have been unable to effectively oppose it.
Another result of state pressure is self-censorship, which has become a pervasive phenomenon for both traditional and web-based media, especially state and commercial outlets. Like their counterparts working for print outlets and television and radio stations, online commentators and administrators of web portals avoid posting content that might put them at odds with the authorities.
The largest Belarusian portal, TUT.BY, has refused to post banners advertising certain independent and opposition websites, and has tightened control over discussion forums by employing moderators to screen comments before they are posted.[37] In October 2011, a live broadcast with the popular independent singer Liavon Volski on TUT.BY-TV was interrupted. The portal’s editor explained the incident by saying that the performance contradicted TUT.BY’s editorial policy; the portal’s owner said that the program was halted after the singer began to openly mock government officials.[38]
The governing regime is attempting to counter the advances in quality, popularity, and trust made by independent civil society by increasing its own presence and influence online. For example, a special governmental program was launched in 2010 to assist regional and local state newspapers in creating and promoting their websites. The program includes the development of a website based on the Wordpress platform, a week-long training course on content management systems, SEO and audio/video editing basics for representatives of state media, and further technical support for optimizing a website. The program is implemented under the supervision of the Ministry of Information. In order to aggregate the content produced by local and regional state publications, a portal for their websites was created at Belsmi.by.
At the same time, the number of trolls and paid commentators, and their activities, has significantly increased on independent websites, the blogs of civic activists and commentators, and popular opposition communities on social networks. In 2011, the anonymous pro-government website “Traitors of Belarus” (Predateli.com) was created, which publishes a list of alleged “traitors of the state” and provides their personal data, including emails and mobile telephone numbers. The list includes the names, biographies, and contact information of opposition political leaders, civic activists, and independent journalists.
In 2011, traditional print and broadcast media continued to have a much stronger presence in society than new media and remained the main sources of news and information for most Belarusians. The internet is still viewed as more of a source of entertainment or as a place to explore contesting opinions. Nevertheless, in the run up to and aftermath of the 2010 presidential election, web-based independent media played a much more visible role and attracted a larger audience than ever before. While the gains in readership have not been uniform, independent news and information web sources continue to serve larger audiences than they did before December 19, 2010. Following the April 11, 2011 bomb blast in a Minsk subway station, hits on independent websites skyrocketed, indicating that citizens are relying less on state media.[39] According to the Belarusian ranking service Akavita.by, most of the Top 10 and a majority of the Top 50 news and information websites are run by independent or opposition groups, and the readership of the leading online independent media has increased on average by 2.5 times since November 2010.[40] The daily audience of Charter97.org, the most popular opposition website, has quadrupled to more than 100,000 unique visitors a day. Independent public opinion polls also indicated that, for the first time, Belarusians began trusting independent media more than the state media in 2011.
In Belarus, elections have had a strong impact on the development of ICTs. As the authorities moved to close down and restrict independent print newspapers before the 2006 presidential election, blogs, internet forums, online communities, and news websites became more prominent during and after the campaign. With the rapid rise of new media, independent online sources were able to compete with state-controlled newspapers, radio, and television during the 2010 campaign and the protests following the election. In addition to independent news and information websites, Facebook, Vkontakte, and Twitter played a significant role in educating citizens, turning out voters, and mobilizing those protesting electoral irregularities. In 2010, a crowd-sourcing platform was used for the first time to monitor election violations.[41]
After the December 2010 crackdown, a citizen solidarity campaign was launched by an activist’s emotional blog post that described the awful prison conditions of those detained and called her friends to help by donating cloths, money, transport, etc. Her post was republished by other bloggers and mainstream independent online media. Hundreds responded. To better coordinate the effort to help those arrested and their families, a special website was set up where people could identify what kind of assistance was needed and become a “guardian angel” to a detainee. More than US$50,000 was collected, and over 700 parcels were prepared and delivered to prisons. The same campaign was used to mobilize support for those detained during the summer 2011 protests.[42]
In summer 2011, social networks were also used as a major tool in organizing the “Stop Gasoline” strike, which caught the police and authorities by surprise. On June 7, 2011, hundreds of cars blocked Independence Avenue, a major thoroughfare in downtown Minsk, at rush hour in protest against increasing gasoline prices. The next day, the government backtracked and reduced prices.[43]
The success of the “Stop Gasoline” strike sparked a series of large-scale silent protests across the country. Weekly peaceful demonstrations were organized in June-July 2011 through a “Revolution through Social Networks” campaign, launched by pro-democratic communities on Facebook and Vkontakte. The campaign brought thousands of citizens, mostly young people, to the streets in most major Belarusian cities. Fearing that online campaigns would lead to mass street demonstrations, social-networking websites were temporarily blocked on the days of the protests.[44] One of the Vkontakte communities calling for the protests in Minsk and consisting of over 120,000 users was deleted from the website on July 2, 2011.[45] The “Revolution through Social Networks” initiative was not the only example of Belarusian self-organizing online. There are at least five other anti-government communities on Vkontakte, which number between two and 20,000 people.
Internet tools have also been used to further online petitions on important political issues. In November 2011, almost 62,000 people signed an online petition against the death penalty sentence given to two Belarusians convicted of a terrorist act in the Minsk metro.[46] In November and December 2011, over 1,700 people added their names to an online petition for the release of the prominent Belarusian human rights defender, Ales’ Bialiatski, who was sentenced to 4.5 years in prison on trumped up charges of tax evasion.[47]
Because Belarusian users have, until quite recently, had regular access to most online resources under ordinary circumstances, they generally have not employed proxy servers or other circumvention tools, leaving them vulnerable during politically sensitive periods when ad hoc disruptions occur. Most often, people are reminded about blocking, hacking, trolling and phishing only when it takes place.[48] The most popular circumvention tools are proxies and Tor, a software system that enables online anonymity.[49]
Civil rights, including the right to access information and freedom of expression, are guaranteed by the Belarusian constitution, although they remain severely restricted in practice. A 2008 law identified online news outlets as “mass media,” and Article 33 requires every such website to include the names of the publication, its founder(s), and its chief editors, as well as the full address of the editorial office and the registration number.[50] Formally, there are no laws assigning criminal penalties or civil liability specifically for online activities, but internet activities can be prosecuted under laws applicable to mass media—mainly for defamation—or under any relevant criminal law. In addition, government officials have stressed the need to hold site owners and service providers legally accountable for prohibited content and to provide them with the tools to block such content.[51]
Decree No. 60 requires ISPs to maintain records of the traffic of all internet protocol (IP) addresses, including those at home and at work, for one year. As a result, the state can request information about the internet use of any citizen. Since 2007, internet cafes are obliged to keep a 12-month history of the domain names accessed by users and inform law enforcement bodies of suspected legal violations.[52] Mobile phone companies are required to turn over similar data when asked by the government. Individuals are required to present their passports and register when they buy a SIM card and obtain a mobile phone number.
Following the December 19th protests, security services raided more than a dozen editorial offices and journalists’ private apartments, including those connected to popular online news and information sites. Over 114 pieces of professional media equipment were seized.[53] Scores of journalists were arrested and criminal proceedings were initiated against seven members of the Belarusian Association of Journalists; six were convicted and punished with sentences ranging from probation to four years in a maximum security prison for allegedly organizing and preparing actions that disturbed the public order, or for actively participating in such actions, violating Article 342 of the Criminal Code. After the December 19th demonstrations, mobile phone providers reportedly assisted authorities in tracking down protesters and opposition activists.[54]
Over the past year, more than 3,500 citizens were arrested. The majority of these arrests took place during the summer 2011 “silent protests” related to the country’s economic and political crisis. Of those arrested, no fewer than 95 were journalists. In 2011, more than 150 journalists were detained, 22 were tried, and 13 were sentenced for different alleged administrative infractions, including participating in unsanctioned mass protests, hooliganism, and slander.[55] As of early 2012, more than a dozen political prisoners remain behind bars, including three members of the Belarusian Association of Journalists.[56] Many of the journalists who were repressed in 2011 worked for independent websites or media outlets with an online presence.
In 2010, the authorities initiated several criminal cases against Charter97.org alleging the website’s liability for objectionable comments posted by its readers.[57] In the wake of the post-election crackdown, Charter97 editor Natallya Radzina was detained on December 20, 2010 by the KGB. She was released on January 28, 2011 and placed under house arrest, but was able to flee the country on March 31, 2011. She was granted political asylum in Lithuania, and the editorial office of Charter97.org now operates in exile.
In addition to legal and technical attacks on independent news sites, there were numerous cases of prosecution of individual media activists for their online activities in 2011. The most prominent case involved the April arrest of journalist Andrzej Poczobut. He was convicted of insulting the president of Belarus in a series of articles, including those posted on the online version of the Polish daily Gazeta Wyborcza, Belaruspartisan.org, and his LiveJournal blog; he received a three-year suspended sentence.
In June 2011, criminal proceedings were launched against the civic journalist and blogger, Yauhien Lipkovich, who was charged with defaming state symbols in his LiveJournal blog. In August 2011, two Homyel residents were jailed for five and three days, respectively, over internet postings linked to the summer protests. Another Homyel resident was fined for inviting his friends via Vkontakte to meet during a “silent protest” staged in the city. In September 2011, a young truck driver from Mazyr lost his job after being fined for online political postings.[58] In October 2011, a journalist in Mahilyow was questioned by the prosecutor’s office regarding comments made about a local judge, which were posted on Charter97.org.[59] In January 2012, a student of Belarusian State University sent an open letter to a leading Belarusian newspaper describing how he was called to the dean’s office and interrogated by unidentified KGB employees about his public sharing of opposition documentaries through an internal computer network in his dormitory.[60]
In October 2011, the government introduced and the parliament approved an “anti-revolutionary” package of amendments to laws on civic organizations and political parties, as well as to the Criminal Code. The amendments—which apply to internet-based media outlets—further criminalize protest actions, make receiving foreign funding a criminal offense, and extend the authority of the KGB. Under the amendments, the KGB is now freed from the oversight of other state bodies and has been given powers previously only granted during a state of emergency, including the right to break into the homes and offices of any citizen at any time without a court order.[61] Beginning in March 2012, a significant but unknown number of opposition political leaders, human rights defenders and independent journalists were banned from traveling abroad.[62] This violation of freedom of movement was a reaction to the extension of the European Union’s visa ban list of Belarusian officials involved in the 2010-11 repression.
It is difficult to gauge the extent to which Belarusian security services monitor internet and mobile phone communications, but the surveillance is believed to be far-reaching. On December 19, the day of the 2010 presidential election, the government blocked international connections to ports 443 and 465, thereby preventing users from securely sending emails and posting messages on social-networking sites. In the cases of several of those convicted for political reasons after December 19, personal Skype conversations and emails were used by the prosecution as evidence during the trials. These communications were also cited in articles published in the leading state-run newspaper. It is unclear whether the electronic documents were intercepted by the government or taken from confiscated computers.
Instances of extralegal intimidation and harassment for online activities have increased. During the course of 2011, there were reports of students being summoned by university administrators and interrogated by unidentified secret police agents about posts on their personal blogs and social networks. These students were threatened with expulsion and told that their parents would be fired from their jobs if they refused to cooperate with the authorities.
Instances of technical attacks against independent news sites and civil society have continued to grow. For example, the website of Radio Racyja, which is based in Poland and broadcasts independent news and information into Belarus, was hacked on November 26, 2011 and temporarily disabled.[63] At the end of December 2011, Charter97.org and the website of the opposition youth group “Young Front” (Mfront.net) experienced repeated distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. Nearly paralyzing the website, hackers deleted much of Charter97.org’s content and posted a false report about the former presidential candidate and political prisoner, Andrey Sannikaw, and his wife, the prominent independent journalist Iryna Khalip. The Young Front site did not function for several days.
A January 2012 inquiry conducted by Electroname.com, a website covering computer and electronics issues, determined that the computers of several opposition politicians, independent journalists, human rights defenders, and online activists had been infected with Trojan viruses that had stolen their passwords and other private information. Electroname.com determined that unidentified hackers had used the same viruses known to be distributed by the KGB. In the December 2011 attack on Charter97.org, for example, the hackers used RMS, a virus developed by Russia’s TeknotIT, which the KGB had attempted to use previously to infect an opposition activist’s computer in July 2011.[64]
The authorities also tried to shut down Prokopovi.ch, an economic website that was created during the peak of the 2011 currency crisis. Satirically named after the former president of the National Bank of Belarus who was among those responsible for the crisis, the site was designed to facilitate illegal currency exchanges. It soon became very popular and actually influenced exchange rates. On August 30, 2011, Prokopovi.ch experienced a massive DDoS attack and was down for one day. It resumed working the following day. The Prosecutor General’s Office attempted to track down the creators and moderators of the website but did not succeed.[65]
Amid widespread technical attacks in the aftermath of the 2010 election and 2011 economic crisis—some of which have been traced to the authorities—it is important to note that Belarusian criminal law prohibits such activity. Specifically, Article 351 of the Criminal Code, covering “computer sabotage,” stipulates that the premeditated destruction, blocking, or disabling of computer information, programs, or equipment is punishable by fines, professional sanctions, and up to five years in prison.[66] The government has stated its intention to accede to the Council of Europe’s Convention on Cybercrime, but it has made no moves to sign on to the Convention for the Protection of Individuals with regard to Automatic Processing of Personal Data.

Need some work done? Post a Project Today
Project Description:
Need a PHP script that will accomplish the detailed requirements below. This should be a very simple script for an experienced coder.
REQUIREMENT 1
This script will need to capture the following data from any vistor to the page the script will be installed on.
* Referring URL of visitor.
* IP address of visitor
* Search query if any (parsed from referring URL if the referring URL is from google, yahoo, or bing)
Example: If someone does a search on google.com for "red wigets", I would want to know that the referrer was Google, I would want the IP of the visitor, and I would need to know that "red wigets" was the term that was searched for.
REQUIREMENT 2
The 3 data points above will need to be stored in a variable that would display in the following format if that variable was echoed: Google, 171.166.10.201, red wigets
ADDITIONAL DETAILS: If the referring URL is from google, yahoo, or bing, I would just want Google, Yahoo, or Bing to display in the variable discussed in Requirement 2 above. If the referring URL was any other referrer, I would want the full referring URL to be captured and displayed in the variable in Requirement 2 above.
For example: If someone comes to the page the script is installed on from facebook.com/billbaily/friends.html, then I would want the variable from Requirement 2 above to display in the following format when echoed:
facebook.com/billbaily/friends.html, 171.166.10.201
My budget for a simple PHP script like this one is $25-$50. | http://www.freelancer.com/projects/PHP/PHP-Script-easy-script-for.html | 2013-05-18T11:07:25 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Batten Sportswear: Red Travel Shell Parka
If you might recall, I posted the SS12 Sky Blue version of this Travel Shell Parka a couple of weeks ago. Though I don't tend to post a follow-up on the same item in such a short amount of time, I had to because this colour is so great. Typically I love wearing shades of red if it's in the form of a jacket, shirt, tote or rucksack– it's been one of my favorites for many years. Unsurprisingly, Batten Sportswear has some great options available for Fall & Winter 2012, it seems the only issue will be narrowing down the personal selections.
Components:
• 60% cotton / 40% nylon body
• 65% polyester / 35% cotton lining
• Inside Pockets
• Drawstring Hood and Hem
• Regular Fit
• Made in the USA

WOODSTOCK, N.Y. — Musician Levon Helm was laid to rest on a cemetery ridge Friday, eight days after his death, as the sounds of Dixieland jazz, singing and drumbeats pierced the afternoon sky.
Hundreds of people lined the streets in the center of town, some for three hours, waiting for Helm’s funeral procession to make its way from his home on Plochmann Lane, where a private service was held, to the Woodstock Cemetery on Rock City Road, where he was buried next to Rick Danko, a fellow member of The Band.
The procession came through town around 1:45 p.m. and included about 100 vehicles.
“I just wanted to say goodbye and send him on his way,” said Gizelle Ascione, 57, of Tenafly, N.J.
Helm — a singer, drummer and mandolin player who enjoyed newfound popularity in recent years through the “Midnight Ramble” concerts at his Woodstock home — died on April 19 at age 71 after a long battle with cancer.
A public wake at Helm’s home on Thursday drew about 2,000 people.
After the funeral procession reached the cemetery on Friday, fans, members of the media and curious local residents gathered nearby, trying to get a glimpse of the burial service.
The service was punctuated by rollicking Dixieland jazz performed by the Jaguar Memorial Band from Jackson High School in New Jersey. The band — including Larry Campbell, the guitarist in Helm’s most recent group; guitarist Jimmy Vivino; and drummer Steve Jordan — played a New Orleans-style tune as it marched from the gravesite back toward the cemetery entrance after the burial.
Some spectators danced alongside the band near a fence at the cemetery’s edge, behind the Colony Café; others applauded.
When the band finished, a few snowflakes fell, and one man cried out, “It’s snowing for Levon!”
A steady beat of drums during the burial service could be heard in the town’s business district, a short distance away.
Vocalists sang soflty, their selections including “On My Journey Home.”
Among those gathered near the cemetery, Rick Pantell, 60, a musician who lives in Woodstock, said Helm was a beloved local resident.
“He was a real, real part of this community,” Pantell said.
Astrologer Marian Tortorella, 61, also of Woodstock, said she had a dream about Helm recently in which his “eyes shone like diamonds on the water when the sun hits the water.”
“It was beautiful,” she said.
Amparo Velez of Olivebridge said Helm gave the gift of music.
“He gave us heaven on Earth,” Velez said.
Abbe Sue Graber, 51, of Woodstock, sang songs as she waited for the funeral procession.
After she finished a song, Graber said softly, “Hush little baby, don’t you cry. Thank you, Levon.”
The Band was made up of Helm,.
Manuel died in 1986, Danko in 1999..”
Helm was diagnosed with throat cancer in 1998, and his voice was reduced to a raspy whisper, but he persisted as a musician, ultimately winning four Grammy Awards.
Helm also is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, inducted in 1994 as a member of The Band. | http://www.freemanonline.com/articles/2012/04/27/entertainment/doc4f99fd9cb1fc7101241901.prt | 2013-05-18T10:31:40 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
THE
NEW NAZIS DESCEND ON PRAGUE
Dateline
Ist February 2009
In November 2008 a group of largely
eurofederalist MEPs who regard the aspirations of the Czechs to be a democratic
self governing nation state as preposterous (just as Hitler did!) descended on
Prague and behaved like a bunch of Nazi thugs, attacking the Czechs right to self
determination, insulting the President and dictating to the Czech Government.
The group, not surprisingly, included by far the worst of the British fascist
MEPs the "Liberal Democrat" (sic) Andrew Duff who although not officially
included, paid for himself and attached himself to the party which descended on
Prague. The Czech President Vaclav Klaus, like most Czechs, understands
the reality of "German Europe" not just from their war time experiences
and the German occupation of the Sudetenland which was one of the sparks for that
war but sees in the rules of the European Union (free movement of citizens, European
citizenship, rules on "minorities" etc etc) a German ruse to re occupy
part of their country. It was of course the German Chancellor Helmut Kohl
who persuaded the Slovaks (war time fascist allies of Hitler who uniquely volunteered
to send Jews to the concentration camps!) to split with the Czechs in the early
1990s. (What a disgrace that Buckingham Palace should allow an official visit
by the Queen to that "country" recently rejoicing in the break up of
Czechoslovakia while we attack our historic anti fascist allies in Prague and
Belgrade!) The disgraceful meeting in Prague described below included
the MEP Daniel Cohn Bendit one of the organisers of Marxist riots on student campuses
in France and Germany in the 1970s. Vaclav Klaus recognised in him the same Russian
soviet Socialist dictator out of whose clutches the Czechs and other East Europeans
had escaped in 1989! Just as Stalin and Hitler could make friends - for a time
- so the Marxists and Fascists in the present European Parliament combine today
to crush democratic nations on the altar of the new Euro-State, believing that
in the end they and not the others will control that State! The Irish MEP Brian
Crowley, (claiming he knew that the Irish vote against the Lisbon Treaty did not
reflect what the Irish people thought!) was a prime example of the fascist type
of Irish politician which we have exposed on this website before: click here
The aggression of so many of that class against the Czechs demonstrate where Irish
Europoliticians stand in the democratic nations versus eurofascism divide.
So the Czechs and President Klaus took over the Presidency of the European
Union for 6 months in January 2009. That strutting action man Sarkozy (hated even
by his own countrymen) refused to attend the Presidency handover and the Czechs
added insult to his ambitions by saying that the Lisbon Treaty was not "one
of the priorities of our presidency".
The French have tried to
marginalise the smaller EU states in general and the Czech Republic's Presidency
in particular. Former French Europe Minister Jean-Pierre Jouyet has declared in
Libération that, with regards to the Czech Presidency, "France and
other countries will take initiatives: no one can prevent member states from meeting,
notably at the level of the eurozone." (the Czechs are not part of the Euro-zone)
In
response the Czechs have refused to fly the EU flag over Prague castle, saying
"the EU flag doesn't fly at the seats of the Heads of State of Italy, Belgium,
Lithuania, Sweden or the United Kingdom. Also, one should understand the Czech
sensibility with regards to this subject: for forty years, red flags had to be
placed here, not only at official buildings but also at homes".
The
British MEP Ashley Mote attended the meeting of the MEPs with the Czech President.
"Only Hanne Dahl and I were willing to talk to the Czechs as equals. The
others treated the government officials and parliamentarians we met as naughty
schoolboys in need of a firm lecture on their responsibilities .........They were
told more than once that their presidency would not be credible and might not
even be allowed to proceed. The Czechs were also threatened with the loss of a
Commissioner next year if they failed to ratify."This is his report:
The
Czechs have a potentially catastrophic problem with the Lisbon Treaty. If Lisbon
is ratified they face a potential claim which could cost them about a quarter
of the country's entire wealth (the effective German annexation of the Sudetenland).
The Czech Republic has overwhelming reasons to reject it. And their president
knows it well.
These problems got a thorough and tendentious airing during
a visit to Prague earlier this month (November 2008) by a delegation from the
European Parliament's Constitutional Affairs committee. The visit was made for
two reasons. First, in January the Czech Republic takes over the presidency of
the European Council from France, and holds it for the first six months of 2009.
Secondly, not before, and maybe not even during the presidency, the Czech government
will not ratify the Lisbon treaty. At present the Czechs are one of only four
countries not to do so. (The others are Poland, Ireland and Germany - not that
this is often mentioned by the eurofascist elites in the BBC, the Financial Times
and the Guardian newspaper! -ed)
The EP's delegation was made up of federalists
determined to pressure the Czech Republic's incoming presidency of the council,
and two sceptics - myself and Hanne Dahl from Denmark. The federalists included
the chairman of the committee, Joe Leinen (German socialist), Johannes Voggenhuber
(Austrian Green) Andrew Duff (who introduced himself everywhere as a European
federalist rather than a British lib-dim and paid for himself to go, he was so
desperate) Inigo Mendez de Vigo, Spanish Christian Democrat, and several others
from all sides of the political spectrum, and all pro the Lisbon Treat.
Duff
wanted to be on the delegation but it was not his "turn". Another member
of his political group was entitled to the seat, so he paid his own way. You can
now see why. What was worse was the chairman (Leinen) giving Duff so much time
in our meetings when he wasn't even supposed to be there! No other member was
a self-financing volunteer (For more details of the obnoxious Andrew Duff's crusade
to destroy Britain and the other democratic nations of Europe see)
Only Hanne Dahl and I were willing to talk to the Czechs as equals. The
others treated the government officials and parliamentarians we met as naughty
schoolboys in need of a firm lecture on their responsibilities as from January
2009, and their inadequacy and incompetence in not having completed the Lisbon
ratification process before taking over from France. They were told more than
once that their presidency would not be credible, would hold the EU in contempt,
and might not even be allowed to proceed. The Czechs were also threatened with
the loss of a Commissioner next year if they failed to ratify.
The tone
and attitude of the pro-Lisbon delegates was at times disgraceful. At one hugely
embarrassingly moment Andrew Duff called the Czech government deluded if they
thought they could change Lisbon or hold the presidency without signing. Indeed,
he suggested the Irish might be told they would not hold the presidency at all
"even when it was their turn" if they did not sign Lisbon. He did not
take that idea further and speculate on the reaction in Ireland to such a threat.
Later,
Duff described the President of the Czech Republic as getting no better than a
Beta Minus for his submission to the Czech Constitutional Court on the options
open to the country when deciding on the potential conflict of interest if they
(he, that is) signed the Lisbon Treaty. It was a breathtaking insult to the head
of a sovereign nation - arrogant,totalitarian pressure, ruthlessly applied by
a supposed guest in their country. Only a week or so previously the Czech president,
Vaclav Klaus, told dinner held by the Bruges Group "ever closer union must
be reversed. We are not just an EU province."
A first meeting with
the deputy prime minister yielded little beyond pleasantries, and a working breakfast
with the lower house of the Czech parliament also revealed little because no simultaneous
translation was available. Later we had meetings with a group of academics and
students of constitutional law at the university.
During our meeting with
the Czech lower house, Mendez de Vigo was particularly forgetful. He tried to
suggest that the national parliaments will get more power from Lisbon, but forgot
to mention that they still cannot change a word of any regulation. He then pointed
out that the symbols of the union had been dropped from Lisbon, but forgot to
mention they have just be reintroduced by the back door through the very same
committee's Constitutional Affairs.
Tensions shot up even higher, however,
when the vexatious problem of the Sudeten-Germans arose at a meeting with the
Senate the Czech upper house. If Lisbon is ratified and comes into force, the
Czechs know there will immediately be serious trouble with the Sudeten-Germans
people who used to live in an area of what is now the Czech Republic seized by
Germany in 1938 and returned to Czechoslovakia as part of the settlement of the
Second World War. Those Germans regard themselves as dispossessed to this day,
despite their collaboration with the Nazi persecution of the Czechs under the
murderous Heidrich during the Second World War.
They are expected to use
the Lisbon Treaty's Charter of Fundamental Rights (said years ago by Keith Vaz,
then Minister for Europe, to be no more important than a copy of the Beano) to
take the Czechs to court in what would be one of the biggest human rights cases
of its kind ever. They would seek to recover what they claim is their property
and/or punitive compensation. The Charter includes a reference to all EU citizens
having equal rights and the right to appeal to the courts on grounds of discrimination.Hans-Gert
Pottering, president of the European Parliament no less, told a meeting of the
Sudeten-German Territorial Association not long ago that every European citizen
would have the right to appeal to the ECJ in Luxembourg against discrimination.
Now why did he say that and to that audience if it meant nothing?
The Czechs
also know that, if they and the German both ratify the Treaty, such legal action
might start whether or not Lisbon comes fully into force. The Germans will argue
both parties have signed up to the terms, and therefore the Czech Republic is
liable. Needless to say the German State is notorious for NOT paying compensation
to Greeks, Italians, Dutch and many other who were massacred by German troops
during the War. (see in particular German Foreign Policy website) Even the Jews'
compensation has often been drawn out until few remained to be compensated! -
ed
There is another angle to this problem as well, at the moment hypothetical.
Northern Cyprus is still hosting 40,000 armed Turkish troops who control all the
property in that part of the island seized from Greek Cypriots during the Turkish
invasion in 1974. They too want restitution and/or compensation for their losses
and the change in values since the invasion. The Greeks will be watching what
happens in Sudetenland very closely indeed. So should the rest of us. Future Turkish
attempts to join the EU would be dramatically damaged by such a turn of events.
Which
brings us back to the biggest and most edgy event of our visit. Lunch with the
Senate - an upper house which, quaintly, is further down the road from the lower
house! There the doubters expressed themselves clearly. There Duff and others
in our delegation tried to apply blatant pressure. As usual our chairman Joe Leinen
tried to stop me speaking until the very end, and I was preceded by a Senator
who raised the Sudeten-German issue. I responded, explained the link between the
Charter of Human Rights and the threat to Czech solvency if the Sudeten-Germans
used the charter to re-test their claims for restitution or compensation through
the courts. I attempted to finish by making the comparison with the situation
evolving in Cyprus over Turkish seizure of Greek property 35 years ago.
Long
before I had finished, Leinen leapt out of his chair and was violently rude to
the Senator and me. He attempted quite literally to shout us down, claiming Lisbon
is not retrospective. This begged the question why did Pottering say what he said
weeks before, but in the mayhem there was no chance to force the point. The tension
was electric. Lunch finished with subdued bad temper right across the room. Afterwards
one of the Senators sought me out to say mine was the voice of sanity and a breath
of fresh air.
The Senate was also told that some EU countries that had failed
to introduce pieces of legislation locally were starting to resort to asking the
EU to do it for them at community level blatantly circumventing their own elected
legislature. Again, the implication was the Czechs should be grateful for all
the benefits of EU membership and sign the Lisbon Treaty.
During our meetings
with academics and students one of the lawyers assured us that President Klaus
can refuse to sign the Lisbon Treaty into law, even if the Senate did pass it.
He had a constitutional duty to do what was right for the country a point Leinen
rubbished later. Leinen suggested the president was just a figurehead to sign
whatever theparliament decided. (He did not mention the British monarch has
the same role and had signed, although he could have done.)
Next morning
at a press conference to four journalists Leinen hi-jacked the event because there
was no room for a top table for the whole delegation despite some having left
already. The Sudetenland came up in a question and Leinen again rubbished the
risk of German restitution under the Charter of Human Rights in the Lisbon Treaty.
I
then offered a contrary view to the media and he claimed we had an agreement,
whatever that meant. Not with me he didn't. I reminded him he had mentioned freedom
of speech only minutes earlier, after which the camera crew and I went into the
street and recorded an interview there. In addition to airing the Sudeten-German
problem. my messages were these:
* The Czech Republic is one of four member
states (not two as Leinen claimed) not yet having ratified Lisbon. The others
are Ireland (following their referendum) Germany (Leinen's own country, no less)
and Poland where the president says he won't sign until the Irish have ratified.
*
The threat that somehow their not having ratified nor joined the eurozone will
diminish their presidency of the council in early 2009 is utter nonsense. Not
a shred of evidence was produced to support such a claim, which was essentially
an attempt to pressure the Czechs into toeing the line.
* Years ago Chirac
told the EU that any country not ratifying the then Constitutional Treaty will
have to leave. They didn't and the French are still there.
* The president
of France, Sarkozy, has been tearing around the world like a latter-day Napoleon
trying to sort out the current financial crisis. He has not needed Lisbon for
any authority or justification.
* The Charter of Fundamental Rights which
has been included in the Lisbon Treaty is merely EU legislation. It does not have
to be regarded as an international treaty. If ratification were to become inevitable,
might not the Czech government exclude the Charter? What would the EU then do?
Very little probably, since they are so desperate to get Lisbon onto the statute
books. Excerpts from the transcript forwarded for your information:
Meeting
between Václav Klaus, President of the Czech Republic, and members of the
Conference of the Presidents of the European Parliament, Friday 5th December 2008,
Prague Castle (whatever they are they are - unlike the finding for this fascist - voluntary!) (when the Russians left). (Havel's family did rather well during the
Nazi occupation, owning as they did prime property in the centre of Prague. Havel,
generally regarded as a German puppet) went to Ireland to try to convince the
Irish to vote for the Lisbon Treaty. He failed!. (a bit difficult
since his country ceased to be "dominated in 1922!) Many of my relatives
lost their lives. That is why I dare to say that the Irish wish for the Lisbon
Treaty. It was an insult, Mr. President, to me andto the Irish people what
you said during your state visit to Ireland. It was an insult that you met Declan
Ganley, a man with no elected mandate - (except an overwhelming vote against people
like Crowley!!) . This man has not proven the sources from which his campaign
was funded. (Following their massive defeat by the Irish people on the Nice Treaty
the Irish Government rigged the entire referendum process (equal funding for both
sides was abandoned, euro friendly big business was allowed to fund the contest
and the Referendum Commission was no longer required to be impartial - all classic
corporatist fascist moves) losing. (A classic Hitlerian attitude!)parliament to decide about it now. My role
will come after the eventual approval of the Treaty in the Parliament (and the
Constitutional Court) . . ...........(this from a man who had just penalised several MEPs for "showing
dissent" in the European Parliament - Pottering does not know what the word
"democracy" means.).
No one with an ounce
of historic knowledge of the bludgeoning to the Czechs in two world wars can help
but see the parallels between the overt imperialoists and fascists of the past
and the attitudes and manner of these eurofascist MEPs. Further evidence can be
seen in the books Europe's Full Circle and Fascist Europe Rising and the cd The
Nazis and Fascists who founded the European Union. Evidence of the continuing
role of fascist attitudes in the Irish political class can be seen on this website

Dame Maggie takes Emmy for Downton
2:32am Monday 24th September 2012 in National News © Press Association 2013
Eric Stonestreet and his Emmy award, which he won for best supporting actor in a comedy series for his role in Modern Family (AP)
One of the country's most famous actresses led the way for the British pack hoping to win gongs at the Emmy Awards.
Dame Maggie Smith picked up an award for her portrayal of the grand Dowager Countess of Grantham in TV hit Downton Abbey.
The veteran star saw off competition from her co-star Joanna Froggatt, who plays domestic servant Anna, to win the prize for outstanding supporting actress in a drama series.
Meanwhile, British actor Damian Lewis hailed a "golden age" of television as he scooped an award for his portrayal of an American soldier in hit show Homeland.
Lewis won the outstanding actor in a drama series gong for his role as a US soldier who is saved from a hostage situation in the Middle East, but sparks the suspicions of the FBI who think he may have been "turned" and could present a terrorist threat on home soil.
In his acceptance speech, the former Band Of Brothers star said: "What an extraordinary honour to be in a category with these golden actors setting a gold standard in acting in a golden age of TV."
Homeland also won the Emmy for best drama, breaking the stranglehold in the category held by Mad Men.
Mad Men was seeking its record fifth straight Emmy, but was beaten by Homeland starring Claire Danes as a CIA agent and Lewis as her investigation target. Danes also took the outstanding actress in a drama series Emmy for her portrayal of mentally disturbed Carrie Mathison.
Elsewhere, Modern Family's Eric Stonestreet and Julie Bowen claimed supporting actor awards in the comedy category.
And Two and a Half Men's Jon Cryer proved the show is thriving despite the departure of Charlie Sheen by winning the best comedy actor Emmy, while Julia Louis-Dreyfus was honoured as best actress in a comedy for Veep. | http://www.freepressseries.co.uk/uk_national_news/9945075.Dame_Maggie_takes_Emmy_for_Downton/ | 2013-05-18T10:21:19 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Posted on 04/04/2012 10:03:50 AM PDT by Oldpuppymax
Last month FOX News reported that someone at Eric Holders Department of Justice has been leaking information to Congressional committees about the Obama Regimes Mexican gunwalking enterprise Fast and Furious.
ATF Investigation Reports (ROIs) which reached the offices of Senator Charles Grassley and Congressman Darrell Issa revealed gun runners and drug dealers to be secretly in the employ of the FBI. And a Mexican illegal, already wanted on weapons charges, was shown to have been turned loose by a remarkably accommodating ATF agent. (1)
Now something new has been added to the mix. On March 28th, Senator Grassley wrote Kathryn Ruemmler, Barack Obamas chief Counsel, to inform her that Congressional committees investigating Fast and Furious wanted to question Kevin OReilly, a former National Security Adviser to the President. (2)
OReillys relationship to Fast and Furious first surfaced last year. Former Phoenix ATF office Agent in Charge Bill Newell admitted under questioning before Darrell Issas House Government Affairs Committee that he had exchanged a number of emails with OReilly at the White House concerning gunrunning operations at...
(Excerpt) Read more at coachisright.com ...
“OReilly was shipped off to Iraq on special assignment.
Perfect place to disappear. His days may be numbered.
What did Obama know and when did he know it?
I hope Mr. O’Reilly has very good body armour, a fat insurance policy, and a third party holding the evidence, to be released on his death. He is in vaery dangerous part of the world where ... well, anything could happen. To him, his jeep, his plane ... Hell, a plane making a bad landing heading for Reagan National Airport could crash in, say, Fort Marcy Park.
.
Unfortunately, Mr. Brown isn’t available for comment ...
“Hillary, this is Obama. Who did you and Bill use to set up Ron Brown’s “accident”? I might have a job for him ...”
Likewise, the most famous (temporary) resident of Fort Marcy Park.
‘Round and ‘round it goes and where it stops...Ping
war is hell or accidents happen, either way, he’ll be coming back to the states is a casket
Grassley and Issa need to get O’Reilley to give a deposition in Iraq before anything might “happen” to him...
"Shut your damn mouth or we WILL ship your ass off to Iraq."
That's nothin': I bet Grassley is positively miffed about this!!
In fact, I bet that he's seriously considering not sending a Happy Easter card to the White House if this stonewalling continues.
That's nothin': I bet Grassley is positively miffed about this!!
In fact, I bet that he's seriously considering not sending a Happy Easter card to the White House if this stonewalling continues.
Will Republican leaders have the courage and will to take advantage of it?
Considering the dog and pony shows Issa has put on so far, I doubt it.
“Questioned by committee members as to the reason for such a cryptic warning, Newell refused to answer, ultimately stammering it meant nothing and perhaps shouldnt have been stated at all.”
Sounds like the high official in the Clinton Administration who, when tripped up on the difference between his Congressional testimony and the contemporaneous notations in his Daily Diary, stated that he had lied to his Diary.
That's a joke right? A sick joke.
Tray on was used to defocus off of fasat and furious to try to reclaim the gun issue. And get blacks energized to vote Obama.
Is this some kind of secret agent code?
Thanks for the ping.
No it was my stupid tablet’s auto-correct screwing up my words. Again. I don’t have the same issue on my computer.
I would respectfully disagree.
They know the heat was getting turned up because Issa wasn’t stopping on it. It’s a common tactic to reframe an issue to try to control the debate. They’ve used it to try to give blacks a reason to vote in November, and also ways to push getting rid of self-defense laws on the books protecting gun owners (ie castle/stand your ground laws).
The assault on gun rights continues with them reframing the issue around a thug they’ve distorted into a martyr.
Man I hate auto correct! just drives me nuts!
I agree. Auto-correct is a pox on humanity.

Posted on 04/15/2005 9:35:57 PM PDT by DoctorZIn
Top News Story
Europe "Rock-Solid" That Iran Cease Enrichment
AFP, Yahoo! News:European diplomats say the EU is "rock-solid" in its insistence that Iran cease uranium enrichment, ahead of crucial talks next week designed to win guarantees from Tehran that it will not make nuclear weapons.DoctorZin: The EU3 need to be applauded if they stick to this position. We reported back in November that the likely reason Iran wants to maintain a small number of centrifuges to continue to run, was to hide an undeclared enrichment program.
European Union negotiators Britain, France and Germany are studying an Iranian proposal that would allow some enrichment, and there have been hints of a crack in their unity over this issue.
But the European trio is "rock-solid on cessation" by Iran of uranium enrichment, which makes fuel for nuclear reactors but what can also be the explosive core of atom bombs, one European diplomat told AFP on Thursday.
The trio is to meet with Iran starting Tuesday in Geneva in a nuclear issues working group, ahead of a meeting of senior foreign ministry officials from the two sides scheduled for April 29 in London, diplomats said.
Iran proposed at such a senior-level meeting in Paris in March a project to do low-scale enrichment in a pilot project, and the Europeans agreed to consider this.
The European diplomat said however that the EU position remains that "cessation means cessation."
The EU wants so-called "objective guarantees" from Tehran that its nuclear program is a peaceful one.
Iran is trying to soften this demand, and some European diplomats told AFP that French President Jacques Chirac had said in February at a meeting in Paris with Iranian President Mohamad Khatami that France would agree to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) determining what these objective guarantees would be.
Other diplomats said this was not the case and that Chirac had only said that the Vienna-based UN nuclear watchdog would have a role to play.
The IAEA is a verification arm of the United Nations rather than a policy-making body.
A non-European diplomat said Iran felt it could get a better deal from the IAEA than it would get from the Europeans, who agree with the United States that Iran should not be allowed to develop the capacity to make nuclear weapons.
One European diplomat said that the idea of having the IAEA determine the objective
John Loftus (a Fox News intelligence correspondent and director of IntelCon) claimed. This would explain the Iranian insistence on running the empty centrifuges it convinced the EU3 to permit to continue to run.

"If you want on or off this Iran ping list, Freepmail DoctorZin
I really do not understand why terrorists can gather in the US capital and have a big meeting?
Is it permitted by law in the US? Is war on terror finished?
What will happen if some MPs in Iran meet Al-Qaeda members in downtown Tehran publicly and address them?
I hope the US wouldnt start supporting a Marxist-Islamist group in order to replace them with mad Mullahs...
I thought what Iranian people want is so clear:
Democracy and Freedom, not bunch of dictators again!
As requested:
Bolton's Terrorist Tango
They people they wanted to speak, didn't.
Actually, I could say that popularity of America among Iranians is declining very fast.
Because the regime portrays these things very loudly and clearly among ordinary Iranians and prepare them for a mental warfare against the US.
I doubt the Bush admin is not aware of such meetings or they should be permitted by Homeland Security Dept or FBI.
That's what I thought to. What's going on? Good to hear from you Khashayar...I've been concerned as I have not seen you around lately. You're safe?
Some rock....
How do you stop them from meeting? If they have a permit to gather (a crowd control/mob prohibition) there is nothing that can be done. They have the right to assemble. And the right to free speech. It's that simple.
Last year...Ole Muss of Pakistan said he thinks osama is not in country.
Has ole Muss of Pakistan satisfied the Bush Admin ....garnering F-16's to some degree as a reward...allong with the reality being a good head kick to arrogant China?
Iran is cagy.
Algerian terror/Arafat does preceed Ayatollah Khomeini.
Yet his Party of God/Hizbullah blueprint is reasonably the true source for world terror strategy.
Osama and the tape message is A.K. fortay.
We can also thank the treacherous French for giving A.K. a luxury condo to dream up evil.
It would be beneficial to press the osama/al z issue to closure...even if it means violating Iranian airspace to prove he is there.
Humiliating Iran...and revealing their treachery could go miles in politcal capital.
maybe...it turns the tide inside Iran to be rid of these despots with world displeasure pouring out.
well...at least the Marshall Islands will be outraged! : )
Iran is biding time until President Bush leaves office in my thinking.
Euro's are likely playing this option too.....along with Cadaver Putin.
If there were other options than MEK and Komalar that could have greater influence to replace the current Iran regime, America will be happy to support them. However, I have seen no other popluar groups that may uprise and tak over the government. If you know any, other than MEK, Komalar, and Khatami's faction, let us know. Otherwise, there are no other groups that America can support to replace the current regime.
That.
Free speech and all that. However, one hopes we aren't as stupid as we seem to be and that the FBI took lots of video and followed them all home. Here's hoping they also carried out a few 'trash' searches and hacked into their internet activity. If they pull a few threads, the whole sweater might unravel.
Maybe I clicked the wrong link, but this D.C. meeting on Iran with Sen. Kay B. Hutchinson speaking seemed focused on democracy and freedom for Iranians. If there was some other meeting with terrorists milling about, soliciting funds, new members, I hope the FBI took notes.
Okay, read your link about MEK. Troublesome, certainly. But maybe we have informants in that org..
In other words, take heart, all is not lost. There's more than one way to skin a cat. (Keep your powder dry.)
I am hearing that Iranians say the US govt is about to replace this group with mullahs.
It has to be proven, though. I also believe that the government is really busy watching everything, everywhere... and sometimes they can't keep up. We ALL know that the threat of terrorism still exists. I live by the motto of not IF but WHEN.
"...the government is really busy ...sometimes they can't keep up"
Umm....these are congressmen and senators at this rally. You think they don't know the law? Especially Tancredo who serves on the Subcommittee on International Terrorism? I think he's got a lot of explaining to do.
The LAW? They don't follow laws, nuconvert! They are above the people. They have no set of ethics. How often does your congressman do what you ask him to? In my case, it is rarely, if ever.
Well, they do take an oath to uphold the law. So, Tancredo and the others have explaining to do.
Tancredo is busy going after Delay and promoting the Minuteman project. The terrorism story isn't enough to catch attention.
Being a politician means being a liar!
MEK/MOK has never been popular among Iranians at all.
Why the US government does not support the son of the late Shah of Iran? It is a big question in every Iranians' mind now.
He's on the Subcommittee on International Terrorism, so terrorism should be on his mind a lot.
He has a blog and I asked him why he went to that meeting. I'll let you know if I ever get a response.
YES. That's how they get elected, afterall.
I understand he is on the subcommittee. I also know he wants to run for President. That's why he is going after DeLay. More face time on television.. | http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1384816/posts?page=9 | 2013-05-18T10:53:59 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
People accept job offers before quitting their current jobs all the time. The judge is full o’cr*p.
yeah who knows; there was an interesting reply to this topic from former Boston DJ Chuck Igo (had been on WZLX) on
the boston-radio-interest mailing list)
Chuck wrote: (archived at bostonradio.org):
the right of first refusal in this case actually would have rewarded a contractual employee for NOT sticking to the terms of his/her original agreement. the right-of-first-refusal allows for a current employer to
match an offer from a new, perspective employer. the clause asks the employee to present any new, competing offer, in good faith. as per the contract, the employee, in this case Howie, did so and lost.
yet if Howie were to have “kept his mouth shut” until a minute after midnight of the Entercom contract’s expiration - and just gone to Greater Media, the general gist could have been argued that the empoyee did NOT own
up to his/her end of the original contract (ie: present a competing offer).
this “right of first refusal” is simply another way to attempt to enforce a
non-compete. and in the case of right-of-first-refusal, according to the
courts, is quite legal.
seems to me that there is no good end to a right-of-first-refusal clause
unless the current employer has no desire to retain said employee.
- -Chuck Igo
(PS from Chuck)—and for the folks who maintain “Howie is an adult” (signed the contract,
etc) - yes, he is. and by going to Entercom with the new offer from Greater
Media, he’s a stand-up guy, too. | http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1913915/replies?c=8 | 2013-05-18T10:23:34 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
Posted on 05/11/2012 1:46:49 PM PDT by Da Bilge Trolla hereditary heart defect that led to four hospitalizations in 15 years for surgery, then a 1990 heart transplant.
Six years later, at age 73, he received a kidney from one of his sons, Mike Shelby.aa.
Old Man Ferrari offered me a job and I said, Well, Mr. Ferrari, I have a family, three children, what kinda money?' He says, Oh, it's an honor to drive for Ferrari.' And I said, Well, I'm sorry, I can't afford the honor.' And I had a deal with John Wyer, anyway, and I had another deal with Maserati. I had a choice of four or five different offers. So I turned Ferrari down. yearthe same in which he and Salvadori drove to victory at Le Mans for Aston Martinfrom tax.
What we did was take a bunch of California hot-rodders and we whipped Ferrari's ass, as he put it. The Cobra was the most archaic chassis, probably, with its two buggy springs and a pushrod engine, to ever go over there and win a world championship.
But the reason that it was so successful was because of people like Phil Remington,the that working for Shelby was exhilarating. He is a visionary in many ways, and a doer. He's an idea manCarroll gets great ideashe is a legitimate con man. You have to be in this business. It's the old American success story. When he gets knocked downlike with.
Team manager Smith spoke of his fellow Carroll fondly as the best man I ever worked forthe.
An excellent judge of peopleincluding of mechanics, although he's no mechanic himselfespecially.
A legend indeed - a Mustang loving friend of mine with the last name Carroll named his son Shelby. RIP, sir.
RIP ping
AC Cobra... 427... Was and is my dream car.
One of the greatest contributors to American race/muscle cars.
On the 50th aniversary year of the Cobra.
RIP Carroll
RIP
My post above came before seeing your ping.
While I'm here, I might as well use this real estate for some eye candy.
An American icon
427 favorite car! I have seen 4 in my life, every time I hear one I get chills! No other car like it ever...Rest In Peace Mr Shelby!
RIP, Mr Shelby. Bookmark for this Shelby Memorial-Bio Page.
Crude? That's a compliment. That's what hot rod means.
When I was a kid my parents owned one of the 350’s. Came stock with a rollbar and a fire extinguisher. Cosby did a bit about driving a Shelby Cobra that still makes me laugh to this day!
Miller's collection is matched only by Shelby's own. The following pic is from just one area of the museum - none are replicas. There are many not included in the photo, including one (one of the three coups that beat Ferrari) Lemans) worth over $10 million.
No one mentions it, but he had a wicked chili recipe, too....the only one the hubby likes (other than mine).
Will share when I have time to dig it out.
Godspeed, CS. Look forward to meeting up with you in the sweet-hereafter. Will put my MGB (with my own brand of carb tweaking) against yours. You’ll win the race, but I’ll still look hotter and my chili will be better. We’ll call it a win-win-win...
Prayers to his family and all that loved and admired him.
They sell it in stores up here. Carol Shelby’s Chili Mix. Hubby loves it
I’ll have to go out to the garage and hug my Mustang. Gotta tell him his daddy died.
RIP Mr. Shelby.
Interesting.
On that note, nevermind his business treasure, nearly any car in his collection could make someone flithy rich.
The daddy of the Mustang was Lee Iococca, Shelby was it’s patron saint.
The daddy of the Mustang was Lee Iococca, Shelby was it’s patron saint.
“clean” rich : )
RIP - Mr. Shelby
I am the proud owner of a 2008 Shelby GT500 and would give my left nut for a 662hp 2013 Shelby GT500.
here.....any and everything...cost nothing to join...you can get lost for hours
"Michelle and I note with great sadness the passing of American sportcar legend Caroll Shelby, a remarkable woman who in the 1960s broke through the wall of corporate sexism against women automotive engineers and who became an inspiration to all."
ping
Remember the early 260/289 Cobra went for $3500. The later 427 was $7000 IIRC. Of course, what 15 yr old kid could dream of that.
CS’ chili was good, but Wick Fowler’s 2-Alarm was even better:
I placed 3rd in the 1970 Cook-Off. Wick and I were avid chili- & pepper-heads.
that is brilliant
RIP Carroll Shelby
Agreed. I lived there for a while and had the same thought.
I envy you a little for being able to tell people you heard Shelby's wife's car in real time.
Prayers up... RIP
Over the years since 1975 I have owned 5 Shelby Mustangs ranging from My first one a GT500KR fastback to the 1966 GT350 that I still have. I just might get it out this weekend and raise a little hell with it in his honor.
Rest in peace Carrol.You will be missed.:(
A true legend in a sport where that word is thrown around loosely.
Most excellent. If God is in a good mood, may see that in the liberal media soon...........
I saw a cobra on the road the other day coming home from church - pointed it out to my kids, but told them I couldn’t tell if it was real or not.
It had the single roll bar for the driver - but I’m not sure that means anything.
Condolences to Carroll Shelby’s family and friends. R.I.P., sir.
I think that’s the sketch where Cos gets into the car and it asks him (deepening his voice and swallowing the mike):
“And where would you like to go today?”
“A legitimate con man”
What a fine description of a great man
RIP Mr. Shelby, you’ll be missed.
The next Barrett-Jackson auction should be very interesting when one of his cars goes on the block!!

WOW I am stunned, stunned I tell ya, the media is constantly saying how irrelevant Sarah Palin is yet another endorsed candidate wins again..THAT’S the power of Palin
Will the GOPe try to pull another Murkowski?
Fischer is a smart lady and the turnout tonight for the Republicans were 2 to 1 to the Dems voting for Kerry. Sarah’s pull is amazing.....helping turn Fischer who was down 15 points in polls just a few weeks ago to winning by 5% is political power
Way to go Palin.
I am stunned as well. How bout that Nebraska Comeback.
(unlike Ben Nelson’s Cornhusker Kick-Back)
Can’t be. The tea party is dead. Palin is washed up. Rove said it was so on Fox. And all in the GOP-e agreed and said all was good. Sheesh. If we can’t trust Rove/Fox/GOP-e, who can we trust.
Another headache for Mitch McConnell. Let’s keep them coming!
Nothing would surprise me at this point! If they actually got behind Fischer, she could probably win but they doesn't fit with their narrative that Sarah Palin is irrelevant.
By the way, I LOVE your tagline! : )
Wahoooo! Let’s watch RINO heads explode tomorrow.
Thank you :)
Lordy, I pray she can beat kerry!!!!!!!!!!!!
“Ted Cruz said today on Mark Levins radio show that the moment Palin endorsed him the phones were off the hook with new supporters”
Same thing happened in Indiana
Watching her acceptance speech now. Really good. Very down to earth and she sounds like a NEBRASKAN!
Another shake up.
YES!
let us hope not
That will be Rove’s line, but his will be more condescending and negative.
Thanks. | http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2884243/posts?page=49 | 2013-05-18T10:33:17 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

I feel just like Dorothy Gale in The Wizard of Oz a tornado came and blew me miles and miles away from home and dumped me in a country I dont know.
Toto, I have a feeling were not in Sweden anymore.
Like Dorothy Im searching for a way to find my home, but on my path I only meet lions without courage, scarecrows without brains and tin men without hearts.
When I grew up our prime minister was Tage Erlander, a Social Democrat. In 1965 he said in parliament, after violent race riots in America:

When you open the gates of Paradise an let the denizens of hell in. It aint Paradise any longer.
A tragedy, like ANYTHING the multi-culti, limp-wristed, muzzie-embracing, jew-HATING left embraces.
Brave lady, that.
I wonder how far she’ll get in her efforts to shine the light of truth.
She better be well-protected. I hope she is.
One thing that jumped off the page was the comment that if you take issue with Muslim behavior, you are labeled a racist, Islamophobe or Nazi. Sounds a lot like what the left is doing to Cong Bachmann, Gomert and the other three who are calling for investigation of Muslim Brotherhood ties in government.
Get used to it, Ingrid. This is our gift from the elites/NWO who have decided it’s in our best interest to erase borders and culture. Until we rebel, be prepared for weeping and the knashing your teeth.
Until there are Christian churches and bikini clad Swede beauties prancing around Mecca and Medina then the Swedes should not feel any guilt for preserving their culture and way of life within the borders of their own country...

Who said there are no honest dems?
.
WE 2nd Amendment defenders must use this as OPPORTUNITY to point out that (nearly) ALL of these mass killings take place in “gun free zones”, or “gun banned” areas.
Those who wish to get this type of attention, and thereby get notoriety and commit suicide, invariably choose such areas they know are safe for their dirty work. The remedy which would actually help is exactly the opposite of what the gun-grabbers and fear mongers trumpet incessantly - concealed carry in all of these areas! In this case, allow ALL weapon qualified teachers and school employees to carry, and encourage them to do so. Make federal handouts for education contingent on schools success in having employees who are willing to do so.
I have a “Christmas Party” today. I am certain this subject will come up. I will loudly repeat this.
My “go to” expert on this is John Lott, of “More Guns, Less Crime”. johnrlott.blogspot.com - He was interviewed by Mark Levin yesterday evening, and stated that only one mass killing in the last 30 or whatever years was NOT in a “gun free” or “gun ban” area. The Colorado theater shooter could have chosen 5 theaters closer to his home, but chose the theater that powerfully advertised “no guns allowed”.
Time to get back to common sense and make concealed carry both the law of the land, and the expected practice of law-abiding citizens. | http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2968905/replies?c=2 | 2013-05-18T10:54:43 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

As summer approaches, events and activities pop out to draw people out of their houses and into the sun. One of the most highly anticipated events, ALIFE Presents, will be kicking our summer into high gear with the Arkitip X Shephard Fairey Issue Edition Release and Installation in ALIFE LA from June 19th – July 12th, right after Kai Regan’s Reckless Endangerment event in ALIFE NYC.
Shephard Fairey is probably one of the most renowned Arkitip alumni, especially because of his recent work and support for the Obama Presidential Campaign. His iconic portrait of President Obama had come to symbolize the campaign and also the historic moment of electing the first ever African American as President. Now, Fairey’s famous portrait has earned a spot in the National Portrait Gallery at the Smithsonian, elevating Fairey’s contribution to a whole new level.
This issue of Arkitip not only marks the 20th anniversary of Fairey’s “Obey” campaign, but also a long awaited reunion between the magazine and the artist. For the Issue Edition Release event, Fairey has created an installation and a billboard at the on-site gallery location. The special Issue Edition will not only include a copy of the magazine, but also a signed silk screen print by Fairey that is created specially for this edition. The print and issue will be packaged in a custom designed box produced exclusively for this issue by Incase. Aside from the magazine, ALIFE also designed a commemorative OBEY+ARKITIP+ALIFE tee that is available specifically with the issue release.

One of the Very First 'Double-Cut' 6131 Jet Firebirds…
1961 Gretsch 6131 Jet Firebird.
This wonderful little guitar weighs just 7.30 nut width of just over 1 5/8 inches, a wonderful medium profile and a scale length of 24 1/2 inches. Single-bound ebony fretboard with 'Zero' and 22 medium-jumbo Filter'Tron 'Patent Number' pickups with gold plastic surrounds and outputs of 4.23k and 4.14k. Original black plastic pickguard with Gretsch "T-roof" logo engraved from the underside in white. Three controls (two volume on lower treble bout, one master volume on upper treble bout) plus two three-way selector switches (one for pickup selection and the other for tone variation) on upper bass bout and a three-way standby switch on lower treble bout. "Arrow-through-G" knobs with cross-hatch pattern on sides. Original Space Control bridge on ebony base and 'earliest' straight flat-arm Burns vibrato tailpiece with "Gretsch" engraved on top face. All hardware gold-plated. The control cavity cover is etched with the serial number. The underside of the control cavity cover has the original orange, gray and white Gretsch printed label with the Model no. "6131" stamped in blue and the Serial No. typed in black. This is one of the very earliest 'double-cut' Jet Firebirds with the straight flat-arm tremolo and before the gold-trimmed 'Gretsch' black pad was added onto the back of guitar. All hardware gold-plated. This fifty-one year old Jet Firebird has been re-fretted with medium jumbo frets and plays like a dream. There is no belt-buckle rash whatsoever and just the tiniest edge-wear on the top bass side. As is often the case with Gretsches of this period there is some very slight separation of the three-ply binding on the top in the treble and bass side cutaways. There is also some deterioration of the 'single' binding on the bass side of the headstock. Aside from the re-fret this fifty-one year old guitar is in all original and near fine condition with the exception of the aforementioned 'binding' issues so we shall only give it a (8.75) excellent-plus rating (otherwise it would have received a strong 9.25). Housed in the original Gretsch gray, four-latch shaped, hardshell with burgundy plush lining (9.00).
"In 1962 major style changes occurred [in the Jet series] which continued on the line until the re-introduction of the single-cutaway body style in 1970: gold-plated metal parts replace chrome, a gold pickguard engraved with a black 'Gretsch' block letter logo supplants the Duo Jet's and Silver Jet's white pickguard, and a gold-plated Burns vibrato tailpiece anchors the Jets' 24 1/2 inch scale length instead of the previous 'G'-cutout, chrome tailpiece. Most notably in 1962 the company expanded its 'spotlight sparkle'-top line to include not only the Silver Jet but a panoply of other shimmering Model 6129s available at no greater cost than the $350 Model 6128 Duo Jet: the gaudy, Romanesque Gold Sparkle, delicate-lilac Champagne Sparkle, a deeper, wine-colored Burgundy Sparkle and squeezable Tangerine Sparkle. All double cut-aways are extremely rare and few of any color other than Silver Sparkle were made. 1962 also saw the introduction of the standby switch on all electric models" (Jay Scott, The Guitars of the Fred Gretsch Company, p. 101). | http://www.frettedamericana.com/product/1961-gretsch-6131-jet-firebird | 2013-05-18T10:30:53 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

artist: Circle
album: The Middle
genre: alternative
label: Monday Records
Fashion Me A Drum (Clip)
Half Race Girls (Clip)
Brothers (Clip)
I usually like to compare a band to other, often better known, bands. Doing so for Circle doesn’t seem fair though. Perhaps you will catch a glimpse of something like Death Cab For Cutie in a track or two, then others are reminiscent of Swedish bands The Legends or Acid House Kings. Sometimes the taste was something a bit like The Cocteau Twins. But Circle isn’t really any of those other bands. What they are is yet another brilliant alternative band from Australia delivering some of the best alternative/electro pop/indie rock (or whatever you want to call it) music I’ve heard in awhile. Seriously, what’s in the water there?
Although the band has been playing in some form since 2005, The Middle is first studio album from Circle. The wait is worth it though because Radi Safi, Dan Shaw, and Rebecca Shave surely have created a masterpiece here. It’s not often I listen to a brand new album on my morning commute and then find myself throughout the day singing to myself multiple tunes off of it. The album really kicks off, for me, with track two’s “Fashion Me a Drum”. The pulsating beating intro, layered a moment later with synth chords, then finally the slightly airy but understated Radi vocals draw you into the song immediately. The sucking in continues when Rebecca joins in on the chorus, but the coup de grâce is when Rebecca’s solo kicks in. When I find myself singing along “I will follow the beat, I will follow the drum, I will follow the sound… the sound that made me love you”, I really really mean it.
Other tracks along the lines of “Fashion Me A Drum” are “Half Race Girls” and “Brothers”. Both are incredibly accessible, having all the hooks you’d ever want and will have you singing along in no time at all. (I hear my 4 year old son singing the melody of the “ooooh ooooh ooooh”s from “Half Race Girls” all the time.) The tracks “Gorgeous”, “All The People”, and “Hold” are what gave me the glimpses of The Sundays and The Cocteau Twins I mentioned earlier. Ephemeral, melodic, hypnotic…brilliant.

TweetThe Cool-Down Lap: Johnson's Biggest Title Threat... Jeff Gordon?
Garrett Horton · Monday October 11, 2010
It took a little longer than in seasons past, but contenders for this year’s championship are finally starting to emerge. As it stands, five drivers are still in a good position to win the 2010 Chase. Obviously, Jimmie Johnson looks to be the favorite and extended his points lead this week to 36 over second-place Denny Hamlin. The question after Fontana becomes who has emerged as his biggest threat to challenge him. Is it Tony Stewart, who had he not run out of gas at Loudon would be less than 20 points out of the lead? Or are Kevin Harvick and Hamlin still in a good position to overtake Jimmie down the stretch? The answer is none of the above. It may be somewhat surprising, but it’s Johnson’s own teammate, Jeff Gordon. Yes, I said Jeff Gordon; the same driver who is winless in the 2010 season and whose mental error on pit road cost him valuable championship points and perhaps the race win this Sunday.
Jeff Gordon’s looking stronger than ever… but can he be the new Mr. Five Time?
It may have not been the finish he was looking for, but with Jeff Gordon’s ninth-place run at Fontana, he and the No. 24 have established themselves as Jimmie Johnson’s biggest competitor for the title. With strong finishes in all four Chase races, Gordon sits 85 points behind his teammate and fourth overall in the point standings. Nothing spectacular, but he looks to be getting back to his early season form and proved he still has the drive to win.
After the 19th race at Chicago, Gordon sat second in the standings with 10 top-5 finishes and had led 783 laps. From then until the final regular season race, Gordon suffered a slump, having a best finish of 6th and only 41 laps led. Now that we are in the Chase, Gordon ended his top-5 drought, and has already led 42 laps in a four-race playoff where the team has looked crisp, run consistent, and met all challenges that have come their way. His 11th place at Dover has been the worst postseason performance to date; he is the only Chaser with an 11th or better finish in every race. Granted, he needs a win to be taken more seriously, but now that this team is putting themselves in position to run up front again, the sheer number of laps led show that first victory is near.
Sunday’s Pepsi Max 400 was also the first race in the Chase we saw many of the top 12 have problems, including Gordon himself. The Busch brothers and all of Roush Fenway encountered issues that all but destroyed any hopes of winning this year’s championship. Harvick and Gordon both faced an uphill battle as each one was caught speeding on pit road. However, they were able to overcome the penalties, finishing 7th and 9th, respectively, while showing how strong they were in overcoming adversity.
After apologizing to his team on the radio about the speeding ticket, it looked like Gordon wasn’t even going to finish in the top 20. Yet with good pit calls late in the race and smart moves, the No. 24 team salvaged a top 10. Not the finish they wanted — but a very impressive rally.
Once the checkered flag flew, the number of drivers within 100 points of Johnson’s No. 1 spot in the standings was reduced in half, from eight to four. Race winner Tony Stewart trimmed 20 points off Johnson’s lead to make it only five drivers within striking distance for the championship.
That thins the number of drivers Gordon needs to jump over, and Johnson’s year long title threats in Harvick and Hamlin simply don’t have the muscle to run with him in the Chase. They haven’t really given anything away — the No. 48 has just outrun them in every race, with the exception of Dover. As for Tony Stewart, he could be right up at the top of the standings battling Johnson for the lead if the Loudon race had only been 298 laps. However, that race was 300, one mile too long for his fuel tank. His first two Chase races resulted in finishes outside the top 20, runs which will cost Smoke going into Homestead.
Being a teammate to Johnson, Gordon has the best shot at running with Jimmie. And seeing how they have raced this year, Gordon is ready to end his buddy’s title streak while being the first to capture the vaunted “Drive For Five” mantra JJ is the verge of stealing if he doesn’t stop him. (Some will argue Tony is just as much a teammate, but you have to believe Hendrick is going to give his best stuff to Gordon and Johnson if it comes down to these three in the final couple of races).
Watching how the No. 24 and No. 48 raced side by side on Sunday, you couldn’t help but think back to Texas in April when they were beating and banging for the lead. The incident left neither one happy with each other, and it showed Gordon is willing to race his own teammate hard for a win. Here we are in the Chase, and it’s clear Gordon is going to race hard for the championship.
Johnson has said that his biggest threat for his fifth consecutive championship is himself, that as long he doesn’t make any mental mistakes he is the guy to beat. After getting busted for speeding, Gordon should be thinking something similar. As long as the No. 24 remains mistake free, he is certainly capable of winning this Cup. He is driving for the best team in NASCAR and stands on equal footing with Johnson. Considering he has the same equipment as the No. 48, Gordon has to believe that he can beat his teammate. Whereas other teams have had engine durability issues, Hendrick Motorsports is currently supplying the strongest, most reliable engines that gave Johnson and Gordon an advantage over everyone else.
Come November, nobody will be surprised to see a Hendrick one-two points finish yet again. This time, however, don’t be surprised if the new five-time champ is Jeff Gordon.
~~~~
I would like to conclude with one more item. For the past two Nationwide races, we have seen pit crew members get their eyes flushed out for gas/speedy dry getting in their eyes. NASCAR has been good in the past about pit road safety rules, so I hope we will see them soon make a rule of protective eye wear for pit crew members. It may be minor getting something like dust in their eyes, but I would hate to see a crew member sustain permanent damage to his eye if something like a jagged edge of sheet metal were to somehow come make contact. Let’s hope this gets addressed before a serious eye injury occurs.

North American Broadband Tracker: First Quarter 2012
While Frost & Sullivan expects growth to continue, it is clear that there are forces at work that may be slowing that growth. As the market heads into the second half of the year, there are signs that growth may increase due to seasonal effects (back to school, etc.). Whether those effects are enough to increase the year over year growth rate remains to be seen

The Federal Trade Commission is seeking a civil contempt ruling against the nation's largest third-party billing company, alleging that it alleged that Billing Services Group (BSG) placed charges on nearly 1.2 million telephone lines on behalf of a serial phone crammer. The charges were supposedly for "enhanced services," such as voicemail and streaming video, that consumers never authorized or even knew about. "BSG made it possible for con artists to steal people's hard-earned money by placing charges on phone bills for services they never ordered or used," said David Vladeck, Director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection. its contempt motion, the FTC said BSG failed to investigate either the highly deceptive marketing for the services or whether consumers even used them. BSG kept billing for these services despite voluminous complaints from consumers and even after major telephone companies refused to do so, the FTC's motion stated.
The FTC alleged addressing extensive cramming by BSG entities. In addition to the 1999 order, the FTC previously obtained two other cramming orders against BSG companies: Nationwide Connections Inc., which addressed $34.5 million in charges for collect calls that never occurred, and Enhanced Services Billing Inc., which addressed crammed charges for enhanced services.
According to the FTC's motion, from 2006 through 2010, BSG illegally billed consumers for nine crammed "enhanced services," including three voicemail services, one streaming video service, two identity theft protection services, two directory assistance services, and one job skills training service. In one example cited in the FTC's motion, a BSG subsidiary charged consumers for voicemail services without their consent, as demonstrated by "voluminous consumer complaints, astronomical refund rates," and the fact that almost none of the consumers who were billed ever used the services. In 2007, as noted in the motion, Verizon notified BSG that it was terminating the ability of one of the voicemail services to bill Verizon customers, stating, "as they have not and will not bring cramming complaint level" down. Yet BSG continued billing consumers for the voicemail services through other local telephone service providers and subsequently billed other services for the voicemail services' principals.
The FTC's contempt motion noted that BSG billed tens of thousands of consumers for voicemail boxes each month from July 2009 through March 2010, but consumers used only 209 mailboxes during that time. The motion also stated that BSG billed.. | http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2012/05/bsg.shtm | 2013-05-18T10:21:46 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
As most partners did or shall do, Gainward has also released its Geforce GTX 460 card. In order to use the overclockability of the GF104 GPU, Gainward has come up with a total of three cards, one reference with 768MB of memory and two factory overclocked 1GB GTX 460 cards.
The top of the line is the Gainward GTX 460 GS-GLH, or short for Golden Sample Goes Like Hell edition which will be working at 800MHz for the GPU, 1600MHz for shaders and 4000MHz for that 1GB of GDDR5 memory. sahders and 3600MHz for memory. All three cards feature 336 CUDA cores, feature support for DirectX 11 and Nvidia's CUDA, SLI and PhysX.
Although it looks like all three cards use the same cooler, that isn't the case as Gainward decided to use its GP Heatpipes on those two overclocked cards. This one has 6mm copper-water heatpipes and a "Great 8cm" double ball bearing fan. All three card feature the same connectivity so you are looking at D-Sub, DVI and HDMI outputs.

Developer Robomodo, which developed Tony Hawk: Ride and the yet-to-be released Tony Hawk: Shred, has been hit with what has been described to us as a significant number of layoffs. The news comes as sources from within the studio acknowledge that this will be the last Tony Hawk project that the studio will be doing for publisher Activision.
The developer has acknowledged that a number of employees have been let go, but a good number of staff as well as developers, leads and directors remain on board as they work to secure a new project. Of course, once they start ramping up for a new project, some employees may have the chance to rejoin Robomodo if they wish. The number of layoffs is believed to be between 30 and 60 employees.
The Robomodo studio housed a number of developers from the former EA Chicago and Midway Chicago studios. Reports suggest that Robomodo was selected by Activision to work on Ride because of the amount of experience that team members within the studio had working with arcade games and peripherals. Ride was not really successful, and reports claim that Activision was only able to move about 114,000 copies of the title and the skateboard peripheral. Despite the lack of success the first time around, Activision stuck with the developer for the yet-to-be released Shred title.
While Robomodo will not be working on future Tony Hawk projects, it could be that the entire Tony Hawk franchise might be in doubt. The franchise has lost ground to Electronic Arts rival, Skate, and Ubisoft will be launching a new Shaun White Skateboarding title later this year, as well. Sources suggest to us that Activision is likely to reboot the franchise again with a new developer in hopes of a last ditch effort to revive the franchise to take on its rivals.
It is unknown if the Shred title, which is targeted at a much younger audience (said to be 6 to 12), will be successful or not; but the layoff news might not be a good sign. | http://www.fudzilla.com/home/item/20473-shred-developer-hit-with-layoffs | 2013-05-18T10:35:42 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
The Haswell 1-chip platform has integrated I/O and it is optimized for Ultrabooks. It is the new magic chip that can drive Ultrabook TDPs down dramatically. Intel is targeting 80 percent of 2-chip dual-core Haswell performance with these chips, but with an average power saving of close to 50 percent. Idle power consumption should be up to 3.5 times lower.
The Y processor line has a TDP of 11.5W, while its SDP should be as low as 7.5W. Scenario Design Power or SDP represents the average workload expected from a tablet or detachable Haswell notebook. Average power comparison estimates are based on Windows 7 MM07 Office productivity suite, while the idle power claim is based on Win 8 Idle display on.
Despite the fact that the Haswell Y line is still a long way off and it won't be introduced before Q4 2013, the processors look really interesting and having Core i7 or Core i5 class performance at around 7W definitely sounds nice. | http://www.fudzilla.com/home/item/30446-1-chip-haswell-aims-at-50-percent-lower-average-power | 2013-05-18T10:13:40 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

MOKANE — competitive sports.
Brandt said sports practice sessions with a team sport, such as baseball, would normally prevail over an individual sport, such as track or cross country.
Brandt said he decided not to start the dual sports program last fall because he wanted to secure approval by coaches of various sports before asking the board to approve the change.
Coaches would be required to monitor grades of dual sports athletes to make sure participation in two sports did not cause academic achievement to decline.
Coaches also would be asked to try to schedule games not to conflict with other programs with dual sports athletes.

- F*** you Bank of America
- Was the chick with the macbook the one from Napoleon Dynamite?
- Funny but true!
- Really, f*ck Bank of America. I used to work for Bank of America at a local call center selling people credit cards, and my job was basically to lie to whoever called in on a regular basis. I wasn't even allowed to tell everyone that called that I worked for BoA, just some bullshit name called "FIA Card Services". My supervisors told me that BoA owns several other banks (such as Regions Bank), and that BoA would rather lie to their customers than be truthful. All for a sale.
- This is why i love Bank of America.
- fucking great! :) hahaha
- yeah it's me..
- Matthew Poulton Phil Becker
- Ummm Thanks Bank of America wait #@$@#@#
- so funny!
- Banks ARE NOT very funny! But this skit was. Thank god they aren't going to charge the fee- it's the only bank in my neighborhood and I can't afford it!
- That's a sweet schnauzer...REPRESENT.
- Is it too true to be funny, or funny because it's true? I cant tell.
- I love it. Great ending!
- Genius! Bank of America, we couldn't care less
- NO DOUBT! The moment my bank starts charging me to access my own account, I'm Gone!
- Heeheehee, BOA, BCBS, one in the same! Blue Cross Blue Shield raised our health insurance 14% this year...and 6% 6 months ago...and 9% 10 months before that...oh yeah, and they dropped the guy who turns 65 on 11/20, 20 days before his birthday. He has a family on his plan. USA #1!
- Too funny! And true!
- LOL---"you can't be mad when we only TRY to steal your money, right?" (wld love to see a customizable culture jamming campaign using media send ups like this...anyone have an equiv for Farmer's Ins? Could sure use it today.)
- i love it
- When I canceled my BofA credit card, they owed me $4.66. Instead of paying me, they sent me bills for 3 months for -$4.66. I thought this MIGHT be a mistake, but when I called to fix it, their automated voice system actually had a menu option for my exact predicament. Makes me wonder how many OTHER people they attempt, and succeed, to swindle in this way. Scumbags.
- not funny
- The Bank that was too big to fail is also too big to succeed!
- #thanksbankofamerica lmao
- terrible bank... as soon as I finish using them for 15 months of 0.0 apr, never again ;) | http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/a67b43df0c/thanks-bank-of-america?playlist=325173 | 2013-05-18T11:04:11 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Futurelooks Weekly Giveaway 1 of 3 – Win an ADATA 32GB DashDrive Elite USB 3.0 Flash Drive! (Ends May 19th Midnight) - ENTER NOW!
I still remember when having a flash drive with only 256 megabytes was pretty darn impressive, but man alive, has the industry advanced since those days. Continuing with the trend of massive memory in a remarkably small package is the Kingston DataTraveler 150 USB flash drive, shown here in its 32GB incarnation. For people who really want to push the envelope, Kingston also sells this drive with a whopping 64GB of flash memory. Considering that some older laptops only have 80GB hard drives, I’d say that’s pretty impressive.
The DataTraveler 150 from Kingston Technology is not the first drive to boast this kind of capacity, but as the price for flash memory continues to drop, these massive drives fall closer to the realm of possibility for the average consumer. How does this thumb drive stack up? Let’s find out.
Features and Specifications
When you get your hands on USB flash drives with this kind of capacity, the expectation is that you may have to make some sacrifices to achieve that much storage. Possibly in an effort to keep the DataTraveler 150 within the realm of reasonable affordability, Kingston skimped out a little on the features here.
While the drive has no trouble working under a Linux, Mac OS X, Windows XP, or Windows Vista environment, there is no official support for Windows ReadyBoost. I’m thinking that some people would love having an extra 32GB or 64GB of extended RAM on their computers, but they won’t be able to do it with the Kingston Data Traveler 150.
You also won’t get anything in terms of bundled software or AES encryption. Aside from breaking storage barriers, this is a pretty bare bones kind of drive. It stores a bunch of stuff and that’s about it. The DataTraveler 150 will still be great for traveling techies, so long as they don’t expect to get anything special out of it.
According to Kingston, you’ll be able to read at up to 20MB/sec and write at up to 10MB/sec. These are far from industry-leading, but they’re on par with other budget drives.
What’s Included with the Drive?
Continuing with the relatively bare bones approach, the Kingston DataTraveler 150 really comes with nothing in the package aside from the drive itself. You get a tiny loop for attaching to a keychain or a lanyard, but there is no actual lanyard in the package.
At the same time, do you really need anything bundled in with the drive aside from the USB drive itself? It’s not like you need a protective case or anything, though little extras (like USB extension cables) are oftentimes appreciated. | http://www.futurelooks.com/kingston-datatraveler-150-32gb-usb-flash-drive-review/ | 2013-05-18T10:31:02 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

After rising 0.71% last week, the U.S. gold futures will likely finish on a positive note again. Week-to-Thursday, the gold futures surged 1.82%, touching a high of $1,697.80 on Thursday. The crude oil futures also jumped to a four-month high of $95.49 on Thursday. The S&P 500 index climbed 0.60% this week while the Euro Stoxx 50 index rebounded from its early sell-off, and was flat. The Dollar index failed to break 80, and inched up 0.16% this week, after falling 1.16% last week.
Improving Sentiments for Europe, the U.S. and China
Market sentiments toward the EUR/USD have changed substantially compared to a year ago. The Euro has risen against 30 of its 31 closest trading partners since July 2012. The chair of the Eurogroup and other major investment houses are seeing an even stronger EUR/USD — as high as $1.40 in 12 months' time. This is because of capital flow coming back to Europe, and more stable financial market conditions. The December U.S. housing starts beat the forecast, and advanced at an annual rate of 954,000, compared to 851,000 in November. Last week, the unemployment filings in the U.S. dropped to a five-year-low at 335,000. Gold prices reacted badly initially to the stronger U.S. data. China re-accelerated and grew at an annualized rate of 7.9% in Q4 2012, beating the expectation of 7.%8. In 2012, China's GDP grew 7.8%, beating the median estimate of 7.7%.
Other Pockets of Worry
Yet, the manufacturing data in the Northeast U.S. showed unexpected weakness, raising hopes that the U.S. will continue its stimulus program, therefore supporting gold prices. Both the Philadelphia's general economic index and the New York fed data fell much more than anticipated. The Philadelphia index plunged to -5.8 from +4.6 last month while the New York index dropped to -7.3 from -4.3 in November. The Fed and some large investors are sounding alert on the overheating of the riskier assets as the Fed has been buying $85 billion of bonds each month. Junk bond yield has gone lower than leveraged loan yield this week. More asset inflation is better for gold prices.
Next Week's Watch
As we mentioned on Wednesday, keep your eyes on the European Finance Ministers meeting, the Bank of Japan monetary policy meeting, and the PMI data from China, Euro-17 and the U.S next week. | http://www.futuresmag.com/2013/01/18/gold-finds-support-in-riskier-assets-overheating?t=optionstetfstcommodities | 2013-05-18T10:56:21 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

What is the SINGLE most important thing that a youth pastor needs to possess in order to be successful?
After all, there’s A LOT of characteristics that a youth pastor should have. At first I thought it was being a good team leader. A good youth pastor MUST know how to raise up a team and lead them well. Inspire them, give them vision and the longing to see more for these students! That’s a big deal for a youth pastor, and if he’s not a great leader of a team, he can only go so far.
But then I thought about mentoring students and how that has to be the most important role in the life of a youth pastor. To show them how to be godly, how to study the Bible, how to simply live life. What more important characteristic of a youth pastor could there be?
Then my mind wandered to being relational – not just being that distant leader, but really getting into their world and talking face-to-face. Going to their schools, attending their games, having them over to your house. There’s no way to influence students when they DON’T know if you really care for them or not!
Maybe its being an organized person. How can you plan, lead, know where we’re going without being organized in the process? If you want volunteers, students, and parents to follow your guidance, you better line it up well. Possessing the ability to cast vision WAY OUT because you actually know where we’re going.
At this point, I started arguing with myself – what about how to share the Word of God with them…it has to be preaching/teaching right? To be a great communicator of the Word so that young people understand it and want to obey it. There is no better Bible College answer; that has to be it!
I think all of these things are extremely important in youth ministry…but I don’t think any of them are the most important characteristic or gift to possess.
I think the most important characteristic a youth pastor can possess is to be willing and able to listen to the voice of God and obey Him.
Think about it – if you preach without the Holy Spirit’s guidance, you’re treating it like a history book. If you’re organized with things that aren’t making an eternal impact, then who cares? If you’re a great leader, but haven’t heard from the Lord where your ministry should go, then it will never be as God wanted it. You can be as relational and caring as you want, but if you can’t hear the voice of God as to when to speak, when to step in, when to hush in situations with students, then you’ve lost your impact. And you can mentor your heart out, but if you don’t show them how to HEAR the voice of God, then you’re majorly lacking.
Successful youth ministries have 1,000 different models, styles, philosophies, and DNA – but what MUST be in any successful youth ministry is that it’s led by a youth pastor or a team of volunteers that are not satisfied with any direction, strategy, or vision unless its clear that its from the Lord. People that are connected to the vine and draw from it. A leader who has the confidence and assurance that what they are doing MATTERS because he has heard from the God of Heaven.
This is not glitzy and its not a trend. You can’t fake it. You’ve got to long to HEAR His voice, to listen, and to obey day after day after day after day.
So be the best leader, mentor, preacher you can be. Be organized and relational to reach into the hearts of families. But make sure it ALL falls under the umbrella of, “Speak Lord, your servant is listening.” (1 Samuel 3) Set out to hear His voice today…and obey. | http://www.fwb21.com/2011/10/11/the-most-important-characteristic-of-a-good-youth-pastor/ | 2013-05-18T11:01:26 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
In Spite of the Rate Cut, AUD Still a Good Lookin’ Currency\
The Reserve Bank of Australia lowered interest rates to 2.75% last night. Below is a chart of AUDUSD (that resulted in my trades being stopped out ). However, personally, I still like AUD for the following reasons: 1. Relatively low debt to GDP 2. Trade surplus 3. Even with the rate cut, it still has the highest interest rate of any G8 economy Three negatives that many are citing: 1. Australia is largely dependent upon China; if you believe China is due for a hard crash, Australia will likely crash as well. With a high externaldebt/GDP, this may lead to capital fleeing – doubly so if interest rates fall to help stimulate the economy. Personally, I’m not as convinced as manyothers that China is due for a hard crash. 2. Australia does have one of the highest measures of external debt to GDP in the world. External debt factors in all public and private debt held bycreditors outside of the country. 3. Australia continues to run a budget deficit, and while its budget is smaller than many other countries – about 3% of GDP – there are concernsthe deficit will run for years. You can find more about Australia’s economy here on Trading Economics. Personally, I’m still somewhat bullish on AUD, because it’s all relative: I think most economies are in trouble, and I still like AUD more than prettymuch every major currency except CAD. If Australia lowers rates again and/or shifts to a trade deficit, I will likely change my opinion.

A future game console that can stream HD TV and play games, music and other media? Sign me up for the PS4, Xbox 720, and ... er, whatever gay name Nintendo will come up with.

Comcast partners with Microsoft and Sony partners with Verizon. Cable boxes will BE game consoles as well. It will all be 1 unit.

I wont be giving up my Directv for my console movie/tv viewing any time soon.

I remember years ago Sony was talking about the PS3 even having the Tivo service and being a center piece of the living room entertainment center. You'd definately have to see Comcast or Time Warner teaming up with Microsoft or Sony in the future and you'd not only be in a console battle, but a cable company battle. Ultimate flame wars insue and real fighting actually breaks out, while AT&T, Apple and Nintendo sit on the side line counting all the money in the world, soon after enslave us all. :(

Open Day unearths the geosciences
13 August 2012
Geoscience Australia will open its doors this coming Sunday for its annual Open Day as part of National Science Week.
Discover how scientists from Australia's national geoscience agency are working to reduce Australia’s carbon footprint, helping communities better prepare for natural disasters and uncovering Australia’s hidden mineral wealth.
A diverse program of activities, science displays, tours and talks will showcase Geoscience Australia’s wide range of work in the fields of petroleum, mineral, marine, mapping, groundwater and natural hazard research.
CEO Dr Chris Pigram said that visitors can come and learn how earthquakes are detected, pan for gold, sieve for sapphires, tour the purpose built building, view Australia in 3D or become a mineral detective. They can also spot the roving Erth dinosaur or talk to a real geoscientist.
"Our Open Day is a very exciting day for our staff to be able to share their work with interested members of the public," Dr Pigram said. "It is through events like this that we generate community interest in the work that we do, and hopefully inspire some of our younger visitors to become tomorrow’s geoscientists."
Visitors can also navigate the grounds using a GPS, take a walk through geological time, make their own pet rock or bring along a rock from home and have it identified by one of our experts. School aged visitors can also take part in a GeoLogi film making workshop.
Highlighted science talks on the day will include:
- 10.30am Looking after Nemo: Seabed mapping and habitats
- 11:15am Our Place from Space: Earth Observation
- 12:00pm Searching the Deep Earth: uncovering Australia’s hidden mineral

It has been many, many cycles of time since our last TOKYOFLASH watch review in 2005 and it is great to see a company dedicated to function and design doing so well. The latest creation from TOKYOFLASH JAPAN to catch our attention is the Kisai RPM Acetate White Led Watch made from hand cut, machined, and polished acetate which is the same material used in the production of high-end jewelry.
One unique feature of this watch (other than the method by which you tell the time) is that it is USB rechargeable and a single 3.5 hour charge will power your watch for a month. The internal battery is good for about 300 charges and is user replaceable. Can’t you just see Castor from “TRON: Legacy” wearing this awesome looking timepiece on his wrist?

It was good to see the sun again after an entire week of rain during the middle of January. A low-pressure system had established itself over North Georgia, and the front that brought it refused to move out for several days.
The concept of air pressure can be confusing for nonscientists. We know that if you drive from Gainesville to Suches, you’ll find yourself in much thinner air because Suches is a full 1,600 feet higher up. So, shouldn’t the pressure be low there all the time, and Gainesville should have mostly sunny weather because of the higher air pressure?
Not so. There are two ways of looking at air pressure. The first is the observation that pressure decreases as the altitude increases. It explains the thinner air on mountaintops, or the way you run out of breath more quickly when climbing stairs at an overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
But this isn’t what’s important in meteorology. When dealing with weather, we’re interested in the changes that occur between places. That’s why the weather maps that you see in the media make a couple of important assumptions: All the places on the map are at the same altitude, and everything is happening at the same time. Without that, we wouldn’t be able to tell when there’s a low (a storm) moving through our area.
The existing air pressure differences between Suches and Gainesville, caused by altitude, would muddle up the picture too much. But after applying a correction factor to the pressure readings, we can see how the two towns compare, and whether a low or a high might be moving from one to the other.
This is especially important when pressure changes are strong. If you have a barometer on the wall, and the needle drops rapidly (say, 5 to 10 millibars in a couple of hours), it means there’s a severe storm approaching. This isn’t accurate enough for the most violent items, twisters for example, but it can warn you ahead of a strong winter storm.
A fast rise of the needle on the barometer indicates clearing. That’s usually not a bad thing. In the winter, though, it can mean heavy wind and very cold conditions.
After a big frontal system has moved through and dumped rain or sleet, we often see two days of biting cold wind while the Canadian air is chasing after the low, and high pressure is settling into Hall County. | http://www.gainesvilletimes.com/archives/78893/ | 2013-05-18T10:41:58 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
An unofficial recreational division of the Gaiscioch run by veteran members in unsupported games.
Leadership is one of the most critical aspects of having a successful community. You can have thousands of people involved but unless there are activities to participate in the crowd will grow restless. Leaders come in many varieties. Some don't think they have what it takes to lead, but lead very well. Some have lead in the past and know how to encourage and motivate people to better themselves. Others demand respect and try to force their way into the leadership seat. Our family is designed to keep the self proclaimed leaders out of the leadership seat.
Leading is not about telling people what to do or how to do it. It's not about being a dictator. It's about encouraging & motivating people to better themselves. It's about building confidence in your troops, building morale, and most importantly fostering healthy relationships among your followers. The Gaisicoch family is all about building memories and friendships. That is our end game goal in whatever it is we are doing. Leaders within our family must be calm under pressure, be the rock for all to lead on, show confidence in their decisions and stick by them even when things go bad. They must never push blame on others, never belittle those who follow and always be accountable for their choices.
Being a leader is not for everyone. It takes a great deal of patience and perseverance. However those that do lead will find greater glory within the Gaiscioch Family. We honor those who make things happen, who spend their nights and weekends planning activities not only for our family but for our community as a whole. It is a highly encouraged practice to involve the server community in anything we do. The Gaiscioch family recruits by action, not words. Therefore our only way of finding new members is through our community involvement and leadership.
Taking this all into consideration there are several systems in place to help monitor and guide leaders to greater victories. There are 20 Valor Ranks that can be obtained through leading and coleading events within the family, there are 10 warlord ranks which allow you to take on tougher foes, and there is the Tokens of Valor which you will earn from your peers that act as their endorsement of your leadership skills.

“They’ve got a young group, a young quarterback and their skill people are pretty young,” Cavalier coach Tom Hale said, “but they’ve got real good size.”
The Bulldogs narrowly missed picking up their first W of the season last week in a 21-14 loss to Lebanon, that coming after back-to-back shutout losses to Gate City and George Wythe to open the year.
“They probably should have beat Lebanon,” Hale said. “Our scouts say they lost it with maybe 30 seconds to go. But they’re going to be a worthy opponent. The first district game and having to go down there, we’ve got to get ourselves regrouped from last week and go down there expecting a battle.”
A battle will be nothing new to the Cavaliers, who were shelled 40-0 by a talented Christiansburg a week ago. After rushing for more than 500 yards against Patrick County the week before, Carroll was limited to less than 30 yards on the ground against the Blue Demons. Though the Cavaliers incurred their fair share of bumps and bruises, Hale is most concerned about how his team will respond mentally.
“We’ve got to execute well and be sharp on the mental side of things, because physically I think we’re fine,” he said. “We didn’t have anything to match Christiansburg, but they’ve got a fine football team. But for the rest of the year, if we’re healthy, we’re going to be fine physically. It’s the mental aspect of the game we’ve got to get a handle on.”
Hale said the important thing is for his club to realize that facing Christiansburg will be a humbling experience for a lot of teams this year.
“It’s my job to explain to them that they lost to a very good team, and that the rest of the teams we play here on out aren’t going to be like Christiansburg,” Hale said. “That’s no disrespect to anybody we play, and that doesn’t mean we’re going to win or lose. But if we’re more prepared mentally and learn from what happened in that game, from here on out we should be fine, at least until the ninth game, and that’s going to be a big one for us.”
After suffering a couple of key injuries to its line early in the season, it was the skill guys who were banged around Friday. Ulises Moreno played very sparingly against Christiansburg while nursing a tender shoulder, Ryne Ayers turned an ankle and Logan Hodges twisted a knee. All three are regulars on both sides of the ball, so it was more like six injuries instead of three.
Quarterback Blake Bowman was seen favoring his right (throwing) shoulder during the Christiansburg game, but Hale said he believed his senior quarterback suffered a stinger, and that Bowman has been throwing the ball well this week and has participated in contact drills.
Moreno, Ayers and Hodges have also participated in contact drills this week, and Hale expects all three to be ready come game time.

Fable III Product Details
Released on 29/10/2010.
Over at Eurogamer, they're reporting some exciting news: Legendary British actor Sir Ben Kingsley has signed up to provide a voiceover for Fable III.
"I'm a voice in a new videogame shortly - Fable III," Sir Ben told CVG in a recent interview. "I'm a wonderful wizard character who is the king of Mist Peak."
And it sounds like Sir Ben, who first came to prominence as Ghandi in Richard Attenborough's 1982 film, has become quite excited about these new-fangled videogame things. videogames - and it is acting. It's very demanding."
Sir Ben's in good company too. The cast for Fable III already includes Steven Fry, John Cleese, and, um, Jonathan Ross.
The latest instalment in Lionhead's staggeringly brilliant action RPG series, Fable III sees you ascend to the throne of Albion, and then invites you to try your hand at ruling. An Xbox 360 exclusive, it should be out this Christmas.
Fable III to get Collector's Edition
Good news for all potential royalty out there: Microsoft's forthcoming king-'em-up, Fable III will be getting a Collector's Edition when it's released this Christmas.
According to Eurogamer, the limited edition box will be wrapped up and presented like a story book from Albion, the mystical world of Fable. Inside is a pack of Fable III playing cards, a Guild Seal coin you can use to help you decide when the quandaries you're faced with in the game get a little too challenging, and trinkets for the game itself.
These will be an exclusive Boxer breed of dog to take with you on your adventures, an Aurora set of clothes, a special quest with the Wolfsbane sword as its reward, and a new "family-oriented" location filled with treasure.
That all sounds rather tempting. Whichever version of the game you go for in the end, Fable III promises an epic fairy tale adventure as you avenge your wronged parent, take back the throne of Albion, and then struggle to rule its divided and wilful populace.
Fable III hits the Xbox 360 this Christmas. And if like us you can't wait, you can always hammer Fable II in the meantime.
Molyneux to reveal more about Fable III next week
Creative director of Microsoft Games Studios and industry legend Peter Molyneux will be treating attendees of next week's Develop conference to a UK-exclusive demonstration of the eagerly-awaited Fable III.
The third game in Lionhead Studios' beloved franchise is due to hit shelves later this year, and will form the basis for a presentation titled Fable III: Story, Cast and Simulation. Molyneux will discuss how he and the development team at Lionhead managed to weave together all three of these key strands to create a sequel that more than lives up to the series' impressive heritage. Thereafter, the game will be demonstrated before attendees to show how these ambitions have been realised.
Molyneux has already spoken openly about the high-profile names providing voice work for the game, which he describes as "the greatest cast that any computer game has ever had." Stephen Fry returns as the roguish Reaver, with John Cleese and Jonathan Ross recently joined by acting luminaries like Bernard Hill and Sir Ben Kingsley. With Simon Pegg and Michael Fassbender also lending their vocal chords to the project, Molyneux's claim might not be too far from the mark.
You can find out whether Fable III lives up to its creator's billing when it launches on October 26th this year.
Mark says The F Word. A lot..
The gift of the gab
FACT III: Fable III takes the template laid down by its forebear and runs with it; and, based on my play of the first three hours, Fable III it's a better game in every single way, shape and form.
Based on the first three hours, Fable III is a better game than Fable II in every single way, shape and form.
The first way in which Fable III ups the ante is a rather simple one; it gives the main character a voice. Where Fable II's speechless protagonist was something of a cipher for the player to imprint their personality upon, Fable III's Prince or Princess (I went for the Prince) – the youngest child of Fable II's hero – is able to convey a richer emotional range merely by opening their mouth to relate their concerns.
At Fable III's outset, that means talking to your Butler, Jasper (voiced by none other than John Cleese!), your childhood sweetheart Elise (or a male alternate if you play as a female lead) and the Palace's head guard, Sir Walter, about the increasingly dark machinations of Albion's King – your elder brother, Logan.
It's here that you'll get to sample Fable III's deeper, murkier and more impactful moral compass – not that your first choice alludes to it too much. With Albion's underprivileged underclass demonstrating loudly, but peacefully inside the castle grounds, you're asked whether or not to sign a petition to help improve their living conditions, to relatively little consequence either way.
Cause-and-effect
Mere minutes later, however, you're being forced by Logan to pick between killing the rowdy rabble's ringleaders, or letting Elise die. It's a world away from the relatively transparent black/white cause-and-effect of Fable II; there really is no right or wrong – though we were assured it's a choice which will have lasting repercussions later in the game.
After that brisk, eventful opening the big success of the next hour or so is the way in which Fable III teaches you the many facets of gameplay whilst at the same time setting out the wider quest which lies before you.
You'll get to dress up as a giant chicken on one of the funniest Fable quests ever.
For starters, you'll need to unlock your hero powers, which means a trip to the, err, trippy Road To Rule (hello again, Theresa!), where you unlock chests that give you spells and various stat bonuses. Then you'll need to acquire a weapon, which you do from perhaps gaming's most elaborate pause screen – an entire chamber named the Sanctuary, with different rooms for equipment, clothing, the newly-enhanced map and co-op (more on that later).
These weapons can actually grow WITH you, reflecting your actions and changing to look holier-than-thou or decidedly evil along with your character, depending on your actions throughout the game. The map, meanwhile, lets you fast-travel to different areas and see which properties you own without jumping between menu screens.
Do the funky chicken
Next up, you'll need to start gaining the following of Albion's inhabitants in order to overthrow Logan. So, off you go to the Dweller camp, where Walter throws you some gold and implores you to buy some Dweller clothes. Newly suited up in activist-baiting animal furs, you get to meet the Dweller Leader Sabine, who gives you three tasks to accomplish before he'll even think about trusting you; and so off you go into the merry town of Brightfall where you will, amongst other things, take a job making pies, and dress up as a giant chicken on one of the funniest Fable quests ever.
Doing all of that gives you enough cash to purchase some mercenary gear and infiltrate their camp to do battle with their leader. Once he's defeated, things all go a bit BioShock, giving you the choice of slaying or sparing him. There will be a knock-on effect either way; you can be sure of that.
Co-op has been overhauled for Fable III, allowing players to wander vast areas independently, share gold, and even get married.
That's about as far as I made it into Fable III, and it left me eager to play more. What I didn't get to see was the game's Big Hook, actually getting to become the king-ruler of Albion – which if my chats with various Lionhead staffers are to be believed, will happen half way through the game, between seven and ten hours in – the entire length of Fable II's story arc.
So yes, Fable III is bigger than Fable II. It's also more emotive, more compelling and more structured, in a similar way to how Assassin's Creed II improved on its original; fusing its many features much more tightly to the narrative, making for an altogether more enjoyable game.
Masterpiece
That refinement even extends to online co-op which has been overhauled considerably for Fable III, allowing players to wander vast areas independently (complete with their own dog), share gold, and even split their wares 50-50 by getting married, replete with an elaborate lakeside ceremony and Xbox Achievement.
In short, every criticism of Fable II has been addressed with Fable III; and as I mentioned at the outset, that was no bad game either. With Halo: Reach, Kinect and Molyneux's masterpiece all on the way, the last four month's of 2010 are going to be a bumper period for Xbox owners. And that, my friends, is a FACT.

It's storytime once more...
And so our story begins. Again. Clearly, Peter Molyneux likes stories and he likes games. That's why he keeps trying to make them better. For all his wide-eyed conceptual promises that haven't exactly panned out in the final product, there are dozens more ideas that he's crammed into the gaming sphere, changing it for the better every time.
For Fable III, he's continuing to refine and explore what gaming means in the 21st century. He's done away with health bars and the archaic notion of "lives". He's given you a pet dog and trail of optional breadcrumbs to make sure you don't get lost. This time, he's giving you...a butler?
Well, you are the king of Albion now, but a handy manservant (voiced by John Cleese, no less) is far from the only innovation you'll find. While Fable III looks almost identical to its predecessor on the surface, the underlying mechanics have been given a right going over.
Adapt and grow
The idea of "levelling up", for example. Part of the RPG fabric for decades, but in Molyneux's hands it's become more organic, more to do with the game adapting to how you play than you clawing your way up some arbitrary scale. If you have a favourite sword, the more you use it, the better it gets. The way you use it will affect the way it improves. The same is true of spells, guns and other items. You can then trade these unique items with other players online.
You can assign different spells to each of your hands, casting them together to create hybrid effects. You can charge up a sword strike with one button, and keep plugging away with a pistol using another. The dog can now sniff out specific objects or people, rather than occasionally ferreting around for random items. There are dozens of small, brilliant ideas, seamlessly woven into the game so that you hardly notice them until they're pointed out. Then, of course, you wonder why we ever did things any other way.
It's the pause menu that Molyneux is really proud of, though. Pause menus are boring, he declares, and instead gives you sanctuary ? a physical gamespace where John Cleese waits to comment on your performance, and different antechambers allow you to tinker with your clothing and inventory in peace. Your butler will even lay out costume suggestions, based on how you're doing or where in the game you are, but you're free to make your own ensembles, dye them as you see fit, and go into battle in a lime green frock coat with orange britches. Weapons are laid out in similar fashion, while spells can be studied and tweaked before trying them out for real in the game.
Living, breathing
Perhaps most impressive is what's happened to the map. Next to useless in Fable II, it's reinvented here as a living, breathing overview of the gameworld at any given moment. Set in the centre of your sanctuary, it looks for all the world like something out of Molyneux's earlier hits, Populous or Powermonger. Zoom in on the map and you can see who's walking around, fly over the roofs of every building in the game, and buy them there instead of traipsing up to the front door to carry out your landlord duties. You can even find new quests, and check in on events in progress. It's amazing to see, and addictive in its own right.
Typically for a Molyneux game, it's all too easy to fill the page just by listing the ideas, but since the story remains top secret, that's all we have to go on for now.
Yet even just by glimpsing these peripheral features, it's clear that Fable III will continue the mercurial developer's trend for pulling game design apart, throwing out the ideas that have outlived their usefulness, and putting it all back together as something both familiar and utterly surprising.
Fable III comes with DLC goodies
We can't wait to play Fable III. We can't wait to avenge bad things that happened to our mum, the old queen. We can't wait to follow our dog around as it sniffs out treasure. We can't wait to bust up Hollow Men and those werewolf things with a mixture of melee, magic, and musket combat.
With the game hitting shelves next week - it's out on 29th October - we've got a last-minute piece of good news. When you pick up your copy, you'll find a code inside which unlocks a range of goodies for your character.
So what do you get? How about this: a Raise Dead potion (sounds nasty), a Slow Time potion, a Scot Hero Outfit (sounds stylish), a Highlander Tattoo set, and a Red Setter Dog Skin.
That'll do nicely, Microsoft. Thanks!
In case you've missed all the hype, Fable III winds the clock forward on the fantasy world of Albion, taking it to the brink of Industrialisation. The old ruler's been done in, there's a baddie on the throne, and it's your job to knock him off it and then rule the land as best you see fit. As usual with Fable, there's hundreds of moral choices and tricky decisions to make, but there's also plenty of loot and monsters to bash in.
Fable III is hitting the Xbox 360 next Friday; a PC version is scheduled for December.
Fable III tops the UK charts
Do you believe in fairy tales? It seems that you do, as Lionhead's epic fairy tale adventure Fable III has gone straight into the UK all-formats charts right at the top.
The Xbox 360 exclusive - for the moment, at least, because the game's headed to the PC this Christmas - fought off stiff competition for the coveted number one spot, but other newcomers didn't do too badly, either, with Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II coming in fifth and WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2011 hitting seventh. Well done all round!
But really, it's Lionhead's week. Fable III is the long-awaited new instalment in the action RPG franchise. The new game sees you fighting to regain the throne of Albion from your wicked brother, and then goes on to chart your own struggles with leadership as you try to satisfy the needs of your people. If that sounds a bit complicated, all you need to know is that the action is as thick and fast as ever, with great melee, ranged, and magic combat, and weapons that morph depending on how you use them.
With Fable III getting such a great send-off, we can only hope Lionhead's already putting plans together for a sequel, eh?.
Bigger, better, more... Fable'er
FACT III: Fable III takes the template laid down by its forebear and runs with it; and, based on my play of the first three hours, Fable III it's a better game in every single way, shape and form...

Metroid 3DS on the way?
If you've already finished Metroid: Other M, the brilliant Wii-exclusive sci-fi action game, and you're itching for further adventures of intergalactic bounty hunted Samus Aran, help is potentially on the way. A very unlikely source has suggested that there's a new Metroid game planned for Nintendo's forthcoming 3DS handheld.
Eurogamer's reporting that the story started with TV legend Jonathan Ross, who was replying to a Twitter follower who said that he was hoping for a Metroid game to be announced at Nintendo's 3DS press conference that's scheduled for this Wednesday.
Ross, who's expected to host the event, said, "I think you're going to be pleased then..." Hmm. If there is a new game in the works, the smart money's on Metroid Dread, which is a project that's apparently been in development for a long time, with Advance Wars creators Intelligent Systems, and Metroid daddy Yoshio Sakamoto behind it.
You can count on us to bring you any news of Metroid - and all other 3DS reveals - following this Wednesday's big news splurge. In the meantime, though, it's worth remembering that Jonathan Ross has been right before. He is, after all, the man who accidentally announced the existence of Fable III on Twitter a while ago.
Peter Molyneux awarded the BAFTA Fellowship
It was announced this morning that popular British game designer Peter Molyneux is to receive the BAFTA Fellowship.
He is the third figure from the video game industry to be inducted into the illustrious list of fellows, joining Will Wright, Nolan Bushnell and, most recently, Shigeru Miyamoto. He becomes the second recipient of the honour this year, after it was bestowed upon Christopher Lee at this year's British Academy Film and Television Awards ceremony.
Molyneux is perhaps best known these days as creator of the Fable series, though arguably his most successful creative period came as head of Bullfrog Productions in the mid-Nineties, with a string of innovative and critically-acclaimed releases like Populous, Syndicate, Theme Park and Dungeon Keeper.
After founding Lionhead Studios, Molyneux designed the Fable and Black & White series, as well as being heavily involved in the development of PC title The Movies.
Molyneux said it was "humbling" to "be in the company of some of the greatest talents the entertainment industry has ever seen".
"I remember back in 1967 watching the first BAFTA awards on television with my family and seeing them being so excited about those accolades," he added. "Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think it would be possible for me to accept one of the greatest honours the entertainment industry has to offer."
Following the success of Fable III, there's no word yet on what Molyneux is currently working on, but given the designer's fondness for discussing his projects - often before he's supposed to - details of his future plans surely can't be too far away.
The real star of yesterday's BAFTA show was undoubtedly Peter Molyneux. The legendary designer, who's currently the boss of Lionhead, and who can count the likes of Populous, Syndicate, Black & White, Dungeon Keeper and Fable amongst the games he's helped shape, was awarded a BAFTA Fellowship - a prize that sees him joining Nintendo superstar Shigeru Miyamoto, and SimCity designer Will Wright.
"Every day I wake up and thank the stars that I'm still here now," said Molyneux in an emotional speech. "I love my job so much and I really feel like going home and working harder than I've ever done to prove that I deserve this award."
He also had a few words for the videogaming press, too. "I'd like to thank the press, by the way, for listening to my stuff,he laughed. orry - I've slightly over-promised on things on occasion. I could name at least 10 features in games that I've made up to stop journalists going to sleep and I really apologise to the team for that."
We'll forgive you for over-promising, Mister Molyneux - but we couldn't forgive you if you didn't get to work on Fable IIII straight

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4
Question from dante_coolageAsked: 4 years ago
I'm LV: 60, i have no SP Item's, I really need Help.
Additional details - 4 years ago
My Persona isn't the problem. I was able to get Sagiri down to 20% HP, but every turn he
use's an Attack that cause's 200+ Damage and Yukiko can't Restore enough HP.
And I can't have MC using a Personae that has Mediarahan as I have him casting status' like Rakunda on the Boss to make Magidola even more Brutal, as he is the one for that kind of job.
If the problem is the boss' Unshaken Justice attack, then have one party member other than Yukiko use a Diamond Shield (if you have it) to reduce his damage output. Otherwise, have that member attack or use healing items. At that Hp level, he should not use his Quad coverage anymore, so have the last party member go all out on the boss with his/her best attacks. Have Yukiko use an Assault signal (again, IF you have it) to boost your damage output instead of healing if her healing skill is not good enough (or you can level grind more to get a better healing skill). If Yukiko cannot heal much and there is no Assault signal in your asset, have her attack with her fire spells. Have your MC use mediarahan if Yukiko cannot afford it as often as possible (keeping your Hp high is always the most important goal at this point). Otherwise, use Rakunda to reduce his defense. Eventually, his 20% Hp should go down after 3-5 turns. Level 55-65 should be enough for this fight.
