An independent panel investigating the 9/11 attack on the US consulate in Benghazi released a report finding that the State Department failed at securing the compound on multiple fronts.
In this Sept. 12 file photo, an exterior view of the US consulate, which was attacked and set on fire by gunmen on Sept. 11, in Benghazi.
An independent panel investigating the 9/11 attack on the United States consulate in Benghazi concluded that the State Department suffered "systemic failures" in providing adequate security.
The failures listed in a report released last night include relying too heavily on poorly trained local militias for security; "leadership and management" deficiencies in coordination of two important State Department bureaus; and an "under resourced" embassy lacking adequate security equipment, such as security cameras and outer perimeter walls high enough to protect the compound.
"Systemic failures and leadership and management deficiencies at senior levels within two bureaus of the State Department … resulted in a Special Mission security posture that was inadequate for Benghazi and grossly inadequate to deal with the attack that took place," according to the report. The panel, known as an Accountability Review Board, was made up of five people appointed by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, including Adm. Mike Mullen and longtime US diplomat Thomas Pickering.
The Benghazi attack, which fell on the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, killed four Americans, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens. It highlighted the depth of lawlessness still plaguing the country in the aftermath of Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi's ousting.
"The attack on the US consulate was just the latest in a series of incidents," Mohamed Abu Janah, a local radio executive and a protest organizer, told The Christian Science Monitor in September.
The month before the attack, in a piece titled "Worrying signs of lawlessness in Libya," The Monitor's Dan Murphy noted that some of the militias that fought to oust Qaddafi had taken on gang-like qualities. "Generally untouchable, they continue to swagger through Libya's towns and cities, demanding special treatment as a reward for their role last year. Many of them are now technically integrated into the security services, but continue to operate with impunity," Mr. Murphy wrote.
He warned that "[T]he steady drumbeat of problems is worrying. If it isn't dealt with, 'rat-a-tat-tat' can transform into 'boom.' "
According to The New York Times, these signs of insecurity were, in part, ignored in planning security for the US Mission in Libya.
the calculated effort of militants and not a "spontaneous" reaction of an outraged crowd, the first explanation offered by U.S. officials.
Yet the five-member independent panel said that, despite the lapses, no officials had failed to carry out their duties in a way that required disciplinary action.
It also determined that there had been "no immediate, specific intelligence" on the threat against the mission.
The Obama administration's initial response to the attacks and United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice's inconsistent statements describing the events of the night garnered anger from lawmakers in the weeks leading up to the presidential election.
"The report affirmed there were no protests of an anti-Islamic video before the attack, contrary to what Ms. Rice had said on several Sunday talk shows days after the attack," notes the Times. This confirmation could reignite arguments that the White House "politicized" Ambassador Steven's death and the embassy attack.
The legacy of Secretary of State Clinton could also be tarnished by last night's panel report.
"This is a mark against Secretary Clinton. While she was not singled out, the report highlighted the lack of leadership and organization on security issues, and those fall into her bailiwick," Jon Alterman, head of the Middle East program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, told Reuters.
An editorial in the Wall Street Journal goes a step further, outlining reasons why Clinton, who is currently recovering from a concussion after fainting earlier this month, should testify on the Benghazi matter.
Mrs. Clinton's testimony is months overdue. Ambassador Chris Stevens and the Benghazi consulate staff reported to her. Their safety was her responsibility. Congress needs to flesh out why security was so lacking, why requests for additional protection for the mission were denied, and who made those decisions.
Despite background briefings by the Pentagon, State and CIA, the Obama Administration hasn't offered a consistent timeline of the Benghazi events. Mrs. Clinton hasn't said what she did that day and precisely how her department liaised with the military and intelligence services. It shouldn't take this long to fill such gaps.
The backdrop to Benghazi matters too. Mrs. Clinton was presumably – as the President's chief foreign policy adviser – instrumental in drawing up the "light footprint" policy in Libya. After the fall of Moammar Gadhafi, the US disengaged. As an elected but weak government struggled to establish itself in Libya, Islamist militias with al Qaeda ties filled the gap. One such group, Ansar al-Shariah, laid siege to the U.S. consulate and CIA annex in Benghazi, killing four Americans. Both the CIA and State immediately pulled out of the city—an abject retreat. What was the rationale for the U.S. approach to Libya, and will it change?
Mrs. Clinton will soon leave the Obama cabinet with sky-high approval ratings and an eye on the 2016 presidential nomination. It's logical for her not to want to dwell on the worst debacle of her tenure at State. But two months ago, she said "I take responsibility" for Libya without ever doing so. It's well past time she did.
According to Reuters, Clinton "said in a letter accompanying the review that she would adopt all of its recommendations." And the New York Times reports she is already taking steps to rectify problems identified in the report, including asking for a transfer of $1.3 billion from Congress.
They say the State Department is asking permission from Congress to transfer more than $1.3 billion from contingency funds that had been allocated for spending in Iraq. This includes $553 million for hundreds of additional Marine security guards worldwide; $130 million for diplomatic security personnel; and $691 million for improving security at installations abroad.
Amid spin and conspiracy surrounding Clinton, what are facts about Benghazi?

Fiona Scott-Wilson works in a diverse range of mediums. Recently, she swopped her paints and brushes for a scalpel and a palette of multicoloured papers. Using a unique technique and style, her works are intricately created from many component pieces of cut paper.
Fiona has evolved a way of creating images that replicate brush strokes in paper to create a new art form. Her works reflect a love of nature, wild life and currently include more figurative images in bold, vivid colours.
Inspired by Matisse, who made cut paper a viable medium, and influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement Fiona's work reflect her love for design.


It's Stand Mixer Sunday and I'd love to be writing a tantilizing post about this great pizza dough I've found, but alas, my camera is still in the shop thanks to Best Buy's incompetence. They're holding my camera hostage because I won't pay a ridiculous $35 shipping fee because the camera has been "damaged" in their opinion and the service plan doesn't cover it. The saga continues.


FX Releases First Trailer for Sons of Anarchy Spinoff Mayans M.C.
Images via FX/YouTube TV News Mayans M.C.
Just in time for the show's Comic-Con panel, FX has released a new trailer for Kurt Sutter's Sons of Anarchy spinoff Mayans M.C.
As Variety reports, the series stars JD Pardo as Ezekiel "EZ" Reyes, a recently released convict hoping to gain entry into the show's titular motorcycle gang. The club is composed of familiar characters like Emilio Rivera's Marcus Alvarez, a recurring antagonist throughout the original seven-season run of Sons of Anarchy.
In a brief flashback, it appears that EZ was a student at Stanford before prison derailed his life, and his family clearly disapproves of his involvement with the gang. "You're in this now son; there's no getting out," says his father, played by Edward James Olmos. Either way, EZ is a long way gone from the clean-cut college student shown in the flashback.
Mayans M.C. premieres Sept. 4 on FX. Watch the show's trailer below.


The beginning concert band provides students with a balanced comprehensive study of music through the concert band, which develops skills in the psychomotor, cognitive, and affective domains. Ensemble and solo activities are designed to develop elements of musicianship including tone production, technical skills, intonation, music reading skills, listening skills, analyzing music, studying historically significant styles of literature, and integration of other applicable disciplines. Experiences include improvising, conducting, playing by ear, and sight-reading. Students develop the ability to understand and convey the composer's intent in performance of music.
During the first semester, students meet in either Beginning Woodwinds class or Beginning Brass & Percussion class. The two classes combine during the second semester in the Beginning Concert Band.
The Centerville Beginning Concert Band received straight GOLD ratings from the judging panel at Greenfield Central JHS on March 9, 2019. Congratulations to all the students for their continued progress and hard work. Thank you to all the parents that came out and supported them at the contest site–you're our most important audience!

First, the jingle. Then the breakup. Now: 'Cellino v. Barnes' takes to the stage
Ross Cellino and Steve Barnes, Buffalo's most famous personal injury attorneys, made a cameo on "Saturday Night Live" over the weekend. (Sharon Cantillon/News file photo)
By Dan Herbeck
Published Fri, May 24, 2019 |Updated Fri, May 24, 2019
First, the ubiquitous radio and TV commercials, and the 888-8888 jingle. Then the nasty court case.
Now, a stage play called "Cellino v. Barnes."
That is the title of a two-man play written by Mike Breen, 30, a Buffalo-born comedian now working out of Los Angeles, and his comedic partner, David Rafailedes.
Breen describes the play as one "largely based on hearsay from family and friends," which "follows the story of the celebrity injury attorneys' very public breakup." There were three Buffalo performances last November, and performances in Chicago, New York City and L.A. A June 20 performance is planned for Union Hall in Brooklyn.
With megabucks at stake, Ross Cellino and Steve Barnes have been battling more than two years over Cellino's desire to break away from the personal injury firm.
So far, neither Barnes nor Cellino has seen the play.
Cellino told The Buffalo News several relatives have seen it and found it "hilarious." He plans to see it with his wife, Anna Marie, sometime over the summer.
"I have heard it is kind of funny," Barnes said, calling the play a "testament to the national power" of the law firm's brand. Asked if he'll ever catch a show, Barnes said, "Plays are not really my thing."
They'll both get to see how the real thing plays out later this year, when the case goes to trial before State Supreme Court Judge Deborah Chimes.
Dan Herbeck– Dan Herbeck is an investigative reporter who has been at The Buffalo News for nearly 40 years. He is a graduate of Sweet Home High School, Erie County Community College and St. Bonaventure University. He and Lou Michel wrote a best-selling book in 2001 about Timothy McVeigh and the Oklahoma City bombing, "American Terrorist."

Trekantområdet () bezeichnet im Allgemeinen das Gebiet rund um das dänische Städtedreieck zwischen Kolding, Vejle und Fredericia in der Region Syddanmark. Der Anfang der 1960er Jahre entstandene Begriff steht zudem aber auch für die grenzüberschreitende Zusammenarbeit zwischen den sieben dänischen Kommunen Billund, Fredericia, Haderslev, Kolding, Middelfart, Vejen und Vejle.

Das Gebiet dieser sieben Gemeinden umfasst eine Fläche von rund 4.151 km², auf der 417.372 Menschen (Stand: ) leben. Die größten Städte sind Kolding ( Einwohner), Vejle () und Fredericia (). Die Region zählt zu den wohlhabendsten in Dänemark; wirtschaftlich steht sie auf einer Höhe mit Aarhus und wird nur von Kopenhagen überholt. Durch ihre zentrale Lage bildet sie einen Hauptverkehrsknotenpunkt, in dem Dänemarks zweithöchstes Verkehrsaufkommen nach der Hovedstadsområdet eine Herausforderung für den Ausbau des Straßen- und Eisenbahnnetzes bedeutet.

Die Kooperation innerhalb des Trekantområdets nahm ihren Anfang im Jahr 1992, als sich sechs Nachbargemeinden auf eine engere Zusammenarbeit einigten; darunter waren die fünf ehemaligen Kommunen Kolding, Lunderskov, Middelfart, Vamdrup und Vejen sowie Fredericia als einzige dieser Gemeinden, die nach der Kommunalreform von 2007 in ihren Grenzen bestehen blieb. 1993 wurde das Bündnis um die beiden damaligen Kommunen Børkop und Vejle erweitert.

Die heutigen sieben Kommunen koordinieren ihre Zusammenarbeit über die Vereinigung Trekantområdet Danmark mit Sitz in Kolding, deren Leitung sich aus den Bürgermeistern der Gemeinden zusammensetzt. Sie führt Projekte im Wirtschafts-, Bildungs- und Kulturbereich durch, die das Ziel haben, die Rahmenbedingungen für Unternehmen und Bevölkerung in der Region zu verbessern.

Surprisingly, she liked the mushroom..
I said the standard parent things along the lines of "See, if you try these things you may like them" and "Mushrooms are yummy"
She told me that I was wrong. Mushrooms always tasted bad but then the mushrooms changed and now they taste better.
One of my "Once Wee Ones" loves mushrooms. He calls them "candy" and prefers them raw. I do not prefer them raw, nor do I think they are candy. I prefer my mushrooms sliced, and sauteed with butter and garlic. And preferable put on pizza.
As lovely as mushrooms are, I have to agree, they are not candy!


Whether you are riding on the flat, show jumping or cross country if you are riding on grass then you want to have the right grip to give your horse confidence. We have come up with some top tips and Handy Hacks to help you choose the right studs.
Consider the size of your horse or ponies feet, if in doubt choose a slightly smaller stud rather than too big. For example a pony will not require a bigger stud than a horse.
Take into account your horse/pony's action/movement. If your horse has a floaty/daisy cutting light footed action then they may be more likely to slip but may not want as big a stud as a heavier type.
On firm ground a smaller pointier stud is most appropriate.
On soft ground a larger stud is more appropriate.
Clean the hole out. Handy Hack - Using a slot head screwdriver is sometimes easier than a horse shoe nail as the handle makes it easier to hold.
Tap the stud hole. Handy Hack – Using a plastic handled tap is more user friendly. They are smaller and more comfortable to hold.
Screw in the stud. Handy Hack – If using two studs per foot then screw in the inside stud first as you will be less likely to catch your knuckles when screwing in the next one!
Tighten the stud – Handy Hack – Using an adjustable spanner means you only need one spanner for all different size of studs.
Be really careful not force the tap or stud into the hole as this may damage the thread and cause the stud to sit at the wrong angle, get stuck or not go in at all.
Use your adjustable spanner to take the stud out. Handy Hack – You can buy magnetic stud trays which are a life saver when you are putting studs in in the middle of a field! You can also use the magnetic tray to help you find studs you have dropped.
Fill the hole. Putting cotton wool in the hole should help prevent stones getting stuck in the hole whilst you are not using them, however in reality they usually find a way in!
Studs will rust if not looked after properly. Cleaning mud and dirt of the studs after each use will help keep the thread clear. Using WD40 or a lubricant will help to prevent them from rusting.
We hope this helps you choose the right studs and get the right equipment to take the hassle out of putting studs in...so you can concentrate on the riding!
I would steer away from using WD40 on the studs and in the stud holes as I believe it contains some kind of abrasive particles that can cause the thread on both the stud and the shoe to wear and thus the stud becomes loose or even lost. I usually use 3-in-1 oil.
I always put Duraglit in my stud holes instead of cotton wool as I find that it is slightly oily and therefore keeps the stud hole less rusty.

It seem to me that there are no audio recorded but on opening the file, there seem to be some static noise being heard(i assume that audio is perhaps recorded)
So my question is

*

*For the static pipeline, is there really audio recorded? gst-discoverer and actual opening of files seem to show different outcomes

*For dynamic pipeline (coded in C), what could the problem be that I could look into. Would be grateful if anyone can, with similar prior experience, point out area I could look into

Thanks

With 60 recommendations endorsed by last year's state parliament music inquiry, last week's dual announcements by the NSW state government – comprising a $1.5 million dollar night time economy package – raises questions about any plans for long term support for the sector.
As reported in TMN, it includes $1.5 million towards boosting night-time events, in particular, live music, and secondly, introducing innovative trading arrangements to enable businesses to thrive.
A one-off $500,000 grants program will activate events and festivals in seven Sydney precincts, where a new type of pop-up liquor licence is introduced in March to diversify the night-time economy.
An "expert advisory panel" established to advise the government of ways to integrate liquor and planning approvals, to remove duplication and cut red tape, directly responds to recommendations from last year's inquiry, which is good to see.
Also included is a new one-off $1 million Music Now fund to support the presentation of contemporary acts and increase participation in live music events across the state, and while a good injection of funds into the state music industry, is far behind the Victorian government support for their industry identified in the state inquiry.
Social media on the NSW announcement from industry commentators has drawn attention to a range of issues, including that while the Labor Opposition's music policy endorsed in-principle all the recommendations from the NSW legislative council's committee inquiry into the state's music and arts economy, not so this package.
The sector's muted response is understandable.
When last year's inquiry recommendations were released with a unilateral endorsement by the NSW upper house, it was embraced wildly by the sector.
At that time, the heads of APRA AMCOS, Music NSW and the Community Broadcasting Association of Australia told TMN it ticked all the right boxes to be a game changer for the state.
Is this the contemporary music strategy committed to by the NSW government last year?
While the funding is obviously welcome, what are the specific short-and long-term outcomes targeted by Music Now?
Is there a plan or strategy here? Or just a splash of cash before the March 23 election?
How does this announcement respond to the extensive consultation Create NSW undertook last year with the Arts 2025 Summit, the music advisory group and state-wide regional visits?
Will the live music industry have representation on the "expert panel" to streamline the liquor and planning process?
Is Music Now virtually the same program as the Create NSW Live and Local initiative with the Live Music Office, which the parliamentary inquiry suggested should receive more funding?
What is the NSW government position on the creation of a state music development office?
Finally, why exactly was a photo of LA-based band Vintage Trouble singer Ty Taylor on the official release – on both the Activate Sydney@Night and the Music Now programs – rather than an act from NSW?
In the meantime, Labor is set to announce a further music policy next month in addition to the venues policy launched last week.

Hack Reactor Expands Its Code Bootcamps by Acquiring a Rival
San Francisco computer programming school Hack Reactor has agreed to acquire a fellow coding education company called MakerSquare, which has campuses in San Francisco and Austin, Texas.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed. MakerSquare will keep its name and staff, but it will adopt much of the Hack Reactor curriculum and admissions process, and it will take advantage of the job placement program developed by Hack Reactor.
Code bootcamps—which attempt to teach students the basics of programming or take experienced programmers to the next level in just a few weeks or months—have cropped up all over the world, especially the San Francisco Bay Area. Despite hitting a snag last year when California state regulators noted that most of these schools weren't quite operating legally, the business has boomed. Last June, test preparation company Kaplan announced its acquisition of Dev Bootcamp, one of the earlier players in the market. And now we have another acquisition.
Hack Reactor has been expanding beyond San Francisco in recent months with its "extension school" program, which offers partners the chance to start a Hack Reactor campus in their own city. But in Austin, it opted to acquire an existing school rather than start a new one from scratch. "We thought it was important to bring in people who shared our values and had a proven track record of that," says Hack Reactor CEO Anthony Phillips.
The biggest change for MakerSquare—its new curriculum—was already in the works before the acquisition. The school intends to focus on the JavaScript programming language. Traditionally, programmers used Javascript to write code that runs inside web browsers, but now they're using it to write code that runs on computer servers, code that drives the heart of online services. As a result, Phillips says, MakerSquare can now focus on teaching only one language for both browser-side and server-side programming.
Plus, he says, there's a growing demand from employers for JavaScript developers. "We're still seeing lots of Ruby developer jobs. But we're seeing a huge uptick in JavaScript developer positions."

In a survey conducted by Kauffman FasTrac, over 5000 entrepreneurs saw networking as the top skill necessary for entrepreneurial success. This finding confirms the importance of networking, which allows entrepreneurs to share ideas, learn from others and make critical business connections. Failure to continuously engage in networking sessions can lead to missed opportunities, overlooked clients, and not being informed of hot industry news as it happens. With networking platforms moving online, entrepreneurs must take advantage of both formal and informal opportunities available today.
"People do business with people they know, like and trust." – Rieva Lesonsky, President and Founder of GrowBiz Media.
Meetup.com: This widespread social networking site is used as a way to link members who share the similar interests and organize local meetups to explore these topics of interest. For a group of entrepreneurs in Vancouver, Meetup.com was crucial in creating a startup support system. This group allowed founders to share advice and meet with other entrepreneurs facing similar business issues. Beyond simply meeting others, this group gave them access to local start-up success stories, lessons learned, and proven advice to solve current and future problems.
Ryze: This well-known and well-liked platform encourages industry professionals to connect with both peers and clients. Members using this site are able to expand their network by finding relevant individuals in the same industry to build relationships and "rise" above their competition.
Startup Nation: This website is specifically built to introduce entrepreneurs to each other. Startup nation offers their community relevant business information and facilitates connections between founders interested in starting and growing businesses with one another.
Today, networking is a necessity and often the only way start-up members can meet with one another outside the office. However, with informal networking now rapidly gaining popularity, entrepreneurs must employ social media networking as part of their business strategy or risk being left behind.

Riding solo: a 100 mile journey for diabetes awareness
As the holiday season approaches, generosity and compassion swells in more abundantly with the cold air. November brings Thanksgiving and Giving Tuesday, both of which celebrate gratitude and giving back to others. Furthermore, November honors American Diabetes Month, a disease that affects the lives of more than 34 million Americans. To raise awareness for the epidemic that is diabetes, Leidos supports the American Diabetes Association's annual fundraising effort, Tour De Cure, for which individuals and teams from across the U.S. ride, run, or walk to raise funds for diabetes research and provide resources to healthcare professionals and those impacted by the disease.
2020 marks Director of Marketing Shaun McDougall's second year as Tour De Cure team captain for the Leidos Northern Virginia (NoVA) chapter, which he celebrated with a 100 mile ride in seven hours. "As a Type 1 diabetic it's important to me to try and be a role model, both to my children and the community at large, trying to show that living with diabetes doesn't need to be an impediment to living healthily, being active, and, more generally, leading a pretty normal life with just a few small lifestyle changes," says McDougall.
McDougall was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at age 17 in the U.K., "It was certainly a shock to the system but was also a relief to eventually understand why I'd lost over 30 lbs, had no energy, and was running to the bathroom constantly for the 2 or 3 months prior."
"Since the age of seven, I'd played rugby regularly and it was so critical in making sure I didn't end up in hospital in a diabetic coma during those months before my diagnosis. Playing 6 days a week was helping my body burn off at least a little of the carbohydrates that my body just simply couldn't process, but I still couldn't escape my Grandad critiquing the slowness of my play on the field every weekend thanks to the inescapable lethargy I had!"
This was a life-changing diagnosis for him and his family, requiring experimentation and frequent doctor visits to get a handle on how to properly treat his diabetes while continuing to play rugby. "The first few years were a voyage of discovery – moving out of home, going to university, and lacking some of the maturity to make good, long-term choices meant my control and focus wasn't where it should have been."
Additionally, McDougall had to learn to adjust with the discrepancy in medical coverage of diabetes since he moved to the U.S. nearly four years ago. "Drug prices is a problem that only really exists here in the United States but it is by far the biggest crisis facing those with diabetes. From my diagnosis age 17 to the day we left the U.K., treatment for diabetes was free at the point of care through the NHS. Not a single pound spent on medicine, visits to specialists, tests, check-ups, and so on. The adjustment to paying several hundred dollars every month here in the U.S. was hard and, frankly, the drug companies here should be ashamed of the profiteering at the expense of the basic human right of health and access to life-saving drugs."
Now, McDougall uses Tour de Cure to focus on training and keeping himself healthy and advocate for fairer, more equitable insulin prices. In 2020 alone, he's cycled nearly 300 miles throughout Northern Virginia.
The 100 mile route McDougall followed in 2020
Much like a marathon, McDougall trained with shorter rides to build up for the 100 mile ride, though the training did not go exactly as planned. "You'd think being at home more this year would give more opportunity to train, which I apparently didn't take. The longest ride I did in training was only 40 miles which was a really bad choice!"
When it came to the 100 mile ride, the journey was more of a mental than a physical challenge. "Cycling solo is something I do often but only for around three hours. Over longer distances you really feel the burden of not having that group to pull you along. There was a period around 60-75 miles where everything slowed down for a while until I realised I was almost home!"
The ride required lots of self-motivation and encouragement "to stop being so lazy and get moving a bit faster," but McDougall managed to finish in a mere seven hours. After crossing the finish line of his driveway, he said he felt like he earned a beer and some takeaway. "Of course, there's the sense of satisfaction in completing a milestone distance, but the competitive part of me wanted to go back and do it much faster. I think I just about got the nutrition and fluids right, but had hoped to do it quicker than the seven hours it ultimately took."
In the end, no matter the distance or the time, the ride gave McDougall a platform to encourage others to become more educated on diabetes, the symptoms to look out for, and some of the steps you can take as an individual to reduce your risk of Type 2 diabetes in particular. "Choosing a healthier lifestyle and being active is something we should all strive to be, whether we have a chronic medical condition or not, it's just a good choice both physically and mentally. That doesn't necessarily mean you have to go and cycle 100 miles, but committing to (largely) eating a relatively balanced diet and doing moderate exercise is recommended for everyone!"

As Duma Deputy, Lugovoi Still Faces Charges
Dec. 04 2007 00:00
British prosecutors will not drop charges against Andrei Lugovoi for the poisoning death of Alexander Litvinenko after Lugovoi, a former security services officer, was elected Sunday to the State Duma.
"As far as we are concerned this changes nothing,'' the British Embassy in Moscow said in a statement Monday. "Lugovoi remains wanted in the U.K. in connection with the murder of Alexander Litvinenko.''
Litvinenko, a critic of President Vladimir Putin who went into exile in London and became a British citizen, died in November 2006 after being poisoned with radioactive polonium-210.
British prosecutors asked Russia in May to extradite Lugovoi to face trial for the murder. The Prosecutor General's Office refused, citing a constitutional ban on extradition.
Lugovoi was elected Sunday on the ticket of the Liberal Democratic Party. He is not required to take up his seat, but deputies enjoy immunity from prosecution.
Lugovoi told Gazeta.ru on Sunday evening that he was not sure what the focus of his work in the Duma would be, but proposed, "issues of security, problems of small and mid-size business," and other areas where he has "considerable experience."

Dan, Jack and the team made a really fantastic effort at thanking the volunteers. I've been on the team for many events, been an organiser for many events, and been at the official team breakfasts and event dinners for two world, one European championships, as well as a couple of ITU World Cups. I've never seen the thanks done better.
Once the party was over, everyone disappeared reasonably quickly, leaving as I used to say at Tri-Force, the usual suspects, to do all the work on tidying up after, they almost certainbly did all the set-up and the work. A fantastic team, I was delighted to join them, if only for the last part of the evening, tidying up!
For 2009, make volunteering for the Texas Tri series part of your race schedule! Just do it!!
I had to cut out early because I had to be up at 5:00 to do the Run for the Water. Normally, I'm there to clean up, though! I agree, High Five Events is the standard in taking care of Volunteers (and athletes, too).


Best scene. The guy hangs himself to save his brother.
Took me a while to get into this film, now i put it on a par with The Good Bad and Ugly.
chris63 wrote: This clip was cut from the original movie.
It was cut? Fortunately restored in all the versions I've seen. It sets up the relationship between the two.
If you watch the extras on the dvd it tells you why.
Got all the spaghetti western clips on my mac and streamed to my smart TV.
That opening scene with Jack Elem and the fly and Woody Strode and the drip, ending with that shootout, is one of my favorite scenes of all time.
I only remember the end of that scene. The rest of it doesn't work so well, McBain comes across as thoroughly unlikeable.
He slapped his kid around the head. He was a mad Irishman.
And then the beautiful Claudia Rose Cardinale arrives.
And there's the disconnect: from the preceding scene we get no reason why she would want to be married to him. It's really the only weak point in the movie. Of course the moment SHE arrives you forget about him anyway, so doesn't matter that much.
I know...but the problem is that it doesn't make sense that she would marry a man like that. The only good quality we see from him is the foresight to buy the land the railroad would need.
Wasn't she a prostitute ? Think she wanted a better life.
Went to see the Warcraft movie today - I don't think this is a movie people who haven't played the games will appreciate or even like, but if you've played them as much as I have you'll love it. Nerdgasm should cover most of it I hope they continue and make more movies, I'd like to see taurens, undead and trolls as well. Made me want to renew my WoW subscription (which I'm guessing is half the point seeing as Blizzard is involved).
It's encouraging to hear that you liked it, Ringo. I've been curious to see it for a long time, largely cause it's Duncan Jones and also cause there just aren't that many high fantasy movies being put out these days. I don't have any background or familiarity with Warcraft though.
Doesn't come out for another two weeks Stateside.
The trailers have definitely not been very good.
I saw The Jungle Book the other day. It is very good storytelling, and has superb digital animation.
My only complaint is that the kids in the theater talked way too much, and that sometimes it was as though the animals were too animal-like, as in, it was sometimes hard to pick out their emotions on their faces.
But yes, a good remake, I thought. It didn't squash the main themes of the original, contained a lot of great (fake) scenery, was not gratuitous in its action sequences, and like I said told a good story well.
I've been really surprised to hear so much positive buzz about The Jungle Book but haven't read any specific impressions of it until now. Your post makes me kinda want to see it though I've never seen the animated version.
That's an odd film to have missed! Quite the classic, it is.
I'm undecided at the moment whether not having seen the original will make the experience more or less enjoyable.
I didn't watch Disney animated movies growing up, mainly because my mom didn't approve of them and we didn't have any. The first one I saw was The Lion King and that was on my 18th birthday. It's been a long, slow process of catching up since then.

Q: Matching all characters in a set I want to be able to match != when both ! and = appear together.
I have the following RegEx pattern so far: (\'.*\')\s*([!=]|\bNOTLIKE\b|=|\bLIKE\b|\bIN\b)\s*(.*)
The following examples should demonstrate how the pattern behaves:
'DocID' = 1234 = Valid
'DocID' NOTLIKE 1234 = Valid
'DocID' != 1234 = Valid
'DocID' IN 1234 = Valid
'DocID' ! 1234 = Invalid
In its current state, ! can be entered by itself and be valid (incorrect). How can I modify my RegEx to include != as a valid input in the 2nd capture group?
