Top 10 Most Dangerous Hackers of All Time
Top 10 Most Dangerous Hackers of All Time – We'll start with a guy who might not have been the best hacker to walk the Earth, but you have to admire his style. This man, who was really named Kevin Poulsen, did something pretty cool in the past, and he's still pretty cool today. His biggest claim to fame was back in 1990 when he took over all the phone lines for a Los Angeles radio station and made sure that he was the lucky winner of a brand-new Porsche 944 S2. He was just 25 at the time. The FBI soon came after him and he was arrested and sentenced to 5 years, at the time the longest sentence ever given in the U.S. for hacking.

The Volkswagen company is caught up in a fresh environmental scandal. This time, it has been called out by a group of peasants from the state of Puebla, (central Mexico), for "bombarding" the sky with anti-hailstorm cannons in order to manipulate rainfall, an action that has ended with the failure of at least 2,000 hectares of crops.
MTP News testified that the cannons are being activated every 10 seconds when clouds form in the metropolitan area of Puebla. This is a breach of the agreement the company struck with local government and VW itself admitted that it only has permission to detonate them two hours a year.
In August of 2017, federal legislators urged the Secretariat of Environment and Natural Resources (Semarnat) and Sagarpa to prohibit the use of these devices in the face of drought risk.
Volkswagen Mexico's response to the report by MTP Noticias about its use and scope of anti-hail cannons is that they intend to continue with the bombardment of clouds, in spite of the call of the state government to suspend this activity and avoid a social conflict.
Julio Marín Leal, director of Environmental Management and Sustainability of the German factory, confirmed that each time a cloud is formed, three cannons are activated, called "anti-hail sonic devices," to drive away hailstorms, with thunderings every seven seconds.
Volkswagen refuses to lose millions
The only reason why Volkswagen Mexico refuses to stop this activity is to avoid losing 20 million dollars in damages (mdd) in new cars.
"The damage is in the order of 20 million dollars, I can tell you that in the last year of 2017 we had this effect," said Marín Leal when he was questioned about the cost of damages he seeks to prevent.
While the company seeks to negotiate with the state government to continue using the guns, farmers are demanding a payment for the 2,000 hectares of crops they have lost.
However, Marín Leal clarified that the car factory is not willing to negotiate with the complainants compensation claim for the $70 mdp they claim to have lost in crop failure.

Our Super Bowl Predictions (With the Help of Madden 13)
The Super Bowl, a time for friends and family to get together over a matchup dating back to 1961. Tonight, Super Bowl XLVII will kick off in New Orleans as the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers battle for the coveted Vince Lombardi trophy.
Earlier this week, EA Sports released their predictions of the matchup by simulating the Super Bowl with Madden 13. The conclusion was a Ravens victory by a field goal in the fourth quarter.
As the staff here at GAMINGtruth made our own predictions, we also simulated the Super Bowl with Madden 13 in a best out of three scenario. Surprisingly, the Ravens pulled off a win all three times.
Here are our simulation results:
Sim One: Baltimore 27 – SF 21
Sim Two: Baltimore 14 – SF 13
Sim Three: Baltimore 30 – SF 17
The most surprising game was the second sim with the Ravens victory by one point. In fact, this was the only simulation that held a close matchup. The 49ers had the ball in the final drive of the game in the fourth quarter, but quarterback, Colin Kaepernick threw a pick on a 3rd and goal.
It's interesting to see that Madden 13 is so confident that Baltimore is the better team, but the GT staff picks beg to differ. Here are our predictions:
– D'Juan Irvin (Editor/Founder): 31 – 28, Baltimore
– Cameron Woolsey (Editor in Chief): 27 – 24, SF
– Greg Bargas (Managing Editor): 34 – 31, SF
– Mark Gibson (News Editor): 24 – 17, SF
– Chris Ramirez (Editor): 21 – 17, Baltimore
– Kyle Spencer (Editor): 21 – 20, Baltimore
– Louis Garcia (Editor): 27 – 21, SF
– Danny Concepcion (Contributor): 31 – 21, SF
What are your predictions for tonight's game? Can Baltimore pull off a victory or does San Francisco have this matchup on lock-down?

Are you feeling the pinch with your finances and starting to find that your credit card bill just seems to be getting bigger and bigger? If you're struggling to keep yourself afloat while at the same time pay off student loans, mortgages, credit card bills and so on – it is high time that you took a long hard look at how you manage your finances.
Just like most things, the best place to start is at the beginning: Your income and expenditure.
Balancing Income and Expenditure
Start by noting down how much you make per month. If you make a steady wage then that should be what you put down (after tax), or if your wage varies based on hours or commissions, then take a 6 month average and use that instead.
Once you've done that – start listing everything you spend money on. At this point you should separate your normal monthly expenditure from your debt payments, but make sure they're all listed.
Now think about what you can reduce from your expenditure. Are you eating out a lot? Do you tend to buy a lot of things on impulse? Are you spending a ton on childcare and could you or your spouse maybe work from home? Exactly what can be reduced will vary from person to person, so go over each item on your expenses list and think about how you could reduce it.
Starting to Pay Off Debt
By reducing your expenditure as much as possible you should find yourself in a situation where you are able to balance both – and have enough left over to start paying off your debt. If you find that you can't keep up with it regardless then you may need help from debt consolidation companies.
Assuming you are able to pay off some of your debt but not all simultaneously, try contacting the credit card company or your other debtors and see whether or not you're able to negotiate a payment plan.
It is worth noting that research indicates that paying off debt is all about motivation and so starting with the smallest debt and paying that off completely before moving on to the bigger ones will help you stay on track. Of course this is contingent on you being able to work out some sort of repayment plan in the first place.
By starting to manage your finances at the very least you should be able to get a clear picture of where you stand and how much help you'll need. Assuming all goes well you should be able to bust your debt down to size with no problem, or if not you can at least take other steps to do so.

The Antinomies Of Realism
Fredric Jameson
Verso 2013
The Antinomies of Realism is a history ofthe nineteenth-century realist novel and its legacy told without a glimmer of nostalgia for artistic achievements that the movement of history makes it impossible to recreate. The works of Zola, Tolstoy, Pérez Galdós, and George Eliot are in the most profound sense inimitable, yet continue to dominate the novel form to this day. Novels to emerge since struggle to reconcile the social conditions of their own creation with the history of this mode of writing: the so-called modernist novel is one attempted solution to this conflict, as is the ever-more impoverished variety of commercial narratives—what today's book reviewers dub "serious novels," which are an attempt at the impossible endeavor to roll back the past.

Krinitsa Brewery and brand Kaltenberg: history of royal Bavarian beer in Belarus
On August 16, the Royal Bavarian reception was held in DIPSERVICE HALL with participation of His Royal Highness Prince Luitpold von Bayern, owner of the beer brand Kaltenberg.At the event organized by the brewing company Krinitsa, the royal beer opened the second decade in its history on the Belarusian market.
The result of the unique cooperation of the brewers of Western and Eastern Europe was presentation of two new beers – Kaltenberg Hefeweissbier (wheat unfiltered beer) and Kaltenberg Schlosskeller Naturtrub (barley unfiltered beer).
The legendary Bavarian pilsener is brewed in Belarus under license at Krinitsa brewery from selected varieties of aromatic hops. Control over production of the elegant Kaltenberg beer belongs to the firm "König Ludwig International GmbH & Co. KG" in accordance with the Bavarian Beer Purity Law".
The choice of Krinitsa brewery by German partners was an important step in development of the business in Eastern Europe.
"Production of Kaltenberg beer in Belarus is the result of serious investments by Krinitsa in the brewing quality and technology. Our company regularly undergoes expert checks during which the production technology, quality of raw materials and products are assessed. All this confirms that large international corporations trust the experience and qualifications of our experts.
The licensing requirements are very high, so the process of brewing premium beer in Belarus is not only prestige, but also a huge responsibility. We not only have to comply with the requirements of the license agreement, but also to prove every day to ourselves and our customers that we can brew ideal Bavarian Pilsner," said Alexander Kizhuk, General Manager of Krinitsa brewery.
Traditional Bavarian brewing technologies were set up by the royal family more than 750 years ago. And now they are successfully continued by Prince Luitpold von Bayern and the German company König Ludwig International GmbH & Co. KG.
"Together with our Belarusian partners, we formed loyalty to German beer brewed under license. Krinitsa became the first brewery in Belarus to receive such a license. König Ludwig International GmbH & Co. KG believes that thanks to modern equipment and excellent brewing skills, the company managed to offer authentical royal Bavarian beer that meets all the requirements of HRH Prince Luitpold of Bayern.

I thought when I grew up I might become a thought leader.
You know, put on some eu-de-thought and take folk's eagerly following thought on leads in a bunch for nice little drag around the park, before returning them to the owners' heads, all relieved, exercised, happy, tired and ready for din-dins.
The only flaw in my plan seems to be getting the leashes to stay on. People's thoughts seem to go where they will, despite my best efforts to drag them off to poop on the grass outside Councilor Onswud's office.
This particular bit of inane insanity was brought to you courtesy of a young writer, who I asked why they were doing this? (Having in a fit of gullibility agreed to read some of their magnum opus.)
They told me they wanted to be 'A thought leader'.
I smiled, wished them the best of luck, waved and walked the other way as quickly as I possibly could, heaved a deep sigh of relief and wiped my furry brow once I was safe around the corner.
It was of course a question asked because the 'story' in question was… a rather tedious recital of all the obligatory politically correct points, parroted by suitably politically correct characters chosen from the checklist and absolutely nothing else to commend them. There is of course an audience who want thoughts 'lead' (It's a heavy toxic metal) in this fashion. And absolutely, the author should publish, and should be free to. I encouraged the author to do just that. They will probably nominate it for Hugo.
But for me it's like cabbage.
It needs to quite well disguised before I eat it, and preferably in small quantities. It is, for me, anyway, unlikely to be the hero of the dish.
Which brings me around to yet another one of my silly stories. It's what I do best, and I like to keep in practice. (Yes, one of my other games is obscure references to sf. It pleases me, delights a few readers and isn't noticed by most.)
Once upon a time, not that long ago or far away, lived a few cooks who believed to the innermost core in the benefits of cabbage (there are indeed, some benefits. Many of which do not include being downwind.) In their busy little seaside town, where folk came to take a holiday, there were many eateries of various types. Indeed the food was very much a part of why people came.
The cooks inserted themselves into some of the eateries, and of course into the local town council, and cooked… and counciled (which is often rather like the aftermath of serving cooking but without any of the intermediate phases. Go straight to toilet paper, do no digesting or enjoyment.)
Now of course, their dishes all had an element of cabbage. Not everyone liked the cabbage, and some steered away from those dishes. But nothing loath, our brave cabbagers soldiered on, some moving into running restaurants, and needless to say, hiring more cabbage cooks. Of course some people just love cabbage. And a skilled cook can use a small amount of it in any number of ways, inoffensive to almost all, but the most sensitive super-tasters.
The town council made things… gradually more difficult for those restaurants did not have cabbage-obsessed cooks. It gradually got to the stage that if you wanted a job, cooking, you needed to profess a love of cabbage, and of course add it into any dish you prepared. This worked well in some dishes like Caldo verde – green soup, but alas, cabbage melba was not a success.
And as time went on, the town council, now entirely run by cabbagers refused entry and put out of business non-cabbage eateries. And gradually the restaurants stopped bothering with small amounts or disguise. Cabbage soup, without other ingredients, Stuffed cabbage was stuffed with cabbage, and any criticism of the cabbage flan or cabbage with cabbage ice-cream became punishable with a fine.
Needless to say, eating out in the town became something only hardened cabbage lovers enjoyed.
Other visitors didn't. They didn't even like being in the same town. They took their holidays in a neighboring seaside town, which flourished, just as the re-named town of Cabbage-On-Sea, wilted.
It was a pretty place and some well-disposed visitors suggested that a return to a menu at restaurants that wasn't just cabbage (boiled, fried, steamed, pickled and raw) might bring the tourists back, and make the place smell less.
They were driven forth with hard words and harder sticks and stones.
Instead the cabbagers settled on trying to destroy the neighboring town, and, if that failed, repeat their takeover of Cabbage-On-Sea.
Because they believe cabbage is good for everyone, especially them.
And they never seem to learn about all things being good in moderation, and not in dessert.
If the story sounds familiar, it's because it keeps happening. Books, news, countries, awards – always the same story. Only rather than cabbage, it is thoughts (you remember –those things which are led. Or lead (if they are heavy enough).
Writers are not thought leaders. They're not even good thought-sheepdogs.
Yes, yes, occasional books do and will have a huge impact on the world. But really most people don't pay to have their thoughts led, any more than pay to eat un-requited cabbage. Yes, of course there are a handful of people who will say that any book led them to think about xyz in such a way, and love the author for this (And as often as not, that wasn't what the author meant). But mostly books are like the seaside town. We go there for a good time, to be comforted or relieved of stress or boredom of our lives. Occasionally we may come across a new idea (at least new to us) that says 'shiny' and we embrace it. But seriously, if your reason for writing is to lead my thoughts to a 'better' place… Work out what you're saying about me, and why I don't like it.
Who the hell are you to think I can, or should be, led?
Why should I follow you or your philosophy, you vain little pimple on the backside of irrelevance?
The willingness of the reader to be led, to admit they want to be led has to be major factor in whether people buy your book. Of course there are people who fit into the lost and needing leading. Or into reassuring 'we are going the right way' bracket. But for the rest of us… you need to disguise that cabbage.
And stop repeating the same mistake.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, with somewhat less cabbage, and almost no rat CHANGELING'S ISLAND is available for pre-order (which pushes my sales ranking up). The picture is a link that makes me few more pence. Yes. It is 'YA'. The day I write something for a younger audience that I think isn't worth reading with older eyes, is the day I quit. (So you can spend $6.74 and tell me it's time)

A new partnership formed between Nasdaq, one of the world's leading financial institutions, and investment management firm, VanEck, will see a number of cryptocurrency investment products being made available, including Bitcoin (BTC) futures.
Future Of The Futures?
The director of digital asset strategy at VanEck, Gabor Gurbacs, stated that his firm and New York-based Nasdaq are looking to introduce a "regulated crypto 2.0 futures-type contract." This, according to Gurbacs, will be the first of many Bitcoin and crypto-centric products that will be made available in due time.
The announcement came yesterday (at the time of writing), November 27th, 2018, at CoinDesk's Consensus: Invest event. On-stage, Gubacs, a long-time crypto advocate and innovator in this nascent industry announced:
Big announcement on-stage at #ConsensusInvest: @gaborgurbacs reveals that VanEck is partnering with Nasdaq to "bring a regulated crypto 2.0 futures-type contract" to the market.
— CoinDesk (@coindesk) November 27, 2018
Winning Over Regulators?
At the Manhattan event, attended by some of this industry's biggest names, Gurbacs stated:
"What I'd like to point out is we ran a few extra miles with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to bring about new standards for custody and surveillance."
He later added that the goal is to:
"inspire confidence with regulators and institutions trying to get involve [in the cryptocurrency market]."
SMARTS (Nasdaq's stock market surveillance system) and VanEck's MVIS providing trusted pricing data will help back confidence in the idea, that's for sure. More importantly, these systems will likely help calm regulatory body's qualms.
CFTC's Current Stance
Two Bitcoin futures products have been approved already by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). These include one available on the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), in partnership with the Winklevoss twins' Gemini Exchange. The other is accessible on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) in partnership with Crypto Facilities.
Looking Forward To 2019
Gabor Gurbacs was quoted as saying that he sees "an exciting Q1 coming up," before also stating:
"there's lots to look forward to in 2019"… we believe that 2018 was the year of regulation and 2019 will be the year of implementation."
Other things to look forward to in 2019 include Bakkt's Bitcoin Daily-settled, physically-backed futures contracts, which are expected to begin trading on the January 24th, 2019. The previous date set was the December 12th, 2018, with the delay being chalked up to Bakkt's concerns that its partners and clients weren't poised for the crypto product launch.
The Next Chapter
2019 has the potential to be a huge year for crypto assets at large. With regulatory guidelines finally taking shape, we could see a massive increase in market confidence and interest from both retail and institutional investors alike, a long time coming for this now-ten-year-old industry.
Trusted, well executed, and easily accessible crypto-centric financial instruments are something I'd personally like to see become widely available.
By the looks of it, we're only a few months away from this becoming a reality, taking this revolutionary asset class to the metaphorical next level.
Where do you see the crypto markets heading in 2019? Are we in for another downhill
slope, or a huge boost? We would love to know, so leave a comment below! :)

– Britain to organise armed Syrian rebels into efficient fighting force (Telegraph, Nov 7, 2012):
In a significant departure MPs will be told today that the UK will directly deal with the armed opposition in Syria for the first time.
Previously Britain has only held talks with the political leaders outside the country over a conflict that has left tens of thousands civilians dead and over 1 million people displaced.
Britain yesterday vowed to step up its efforts to bring about an end to a regime that has presided over a civil war that has cost as many as 40,000 people lose their lives.
The first National Security Council meeting after the US presidential election which is likely to be chaired by Prime Minister David Cameron, will be dedicated to the crisis in Syria.
That meeting is likely to look at ways to bring America on board with a more direct strategy towards Syria now that the next US president has been elected for a four year term.
Britain is not allowed by a European Union arms embargo to supply weapons to Syria – a fact which Mr Cameron signalled was "frustrating" during a three day visit to the Middle East.
William Hague, the foreign secretary, will tell an opposition conference in Doha today that he "has authorised diplomats to have direct contact with military figures on the ground" through secure communication links with armed rebels.
The man favoured to win western backing for a new opposition front at the Qatar conference told The Daily Telegraph he planned to establish an interim government inside the 'liberated' parts of northern Syria.
It would seek international recognition, request a fund of "more than a billion dollars", and military support to "defend ourselves from the regime's war planes".
A written ministerial statement is due to be laid in Parliament outlining the new initiative, which will be coordinated by the team led by Jon Wilks, a senior official at the Foreign Office.
Downing Street said Britain wanted to also help the rebel fighters within Syria to work together to topple Assad, as happened in Libya to face Col Muammar Gaddafi's brutal regime.
A Number 10 source said: 'At the moment there are lots of different groups. They haven't come together and coalesced in the way in Libya all with the shared aim of toppling Gaddafi. This is all about helping them to do it.
"We are engaging with the opposition to try and encourage them come together much more on the ground.
"The point of it will be to talk to the leaders of the local armed groups. What we've concluded is that it's too hard to do this by only talking to people outside the country.
"The opposition have been very clear that they want help from the international community."
Britain will also stress to the rebels the need to respect the human rights of captured Government, the source added.
Britain is prevented from physically arming the rebels by a European Union arms embargo which prevents any military hardware being supplied to any Syrians.
But Mr Cameron signalled that he was frustrated by the embargo and the inactivity of the United Nations.
He told British newspaper reporters: "On Syria, I'm frustrated that we aren't able to do more, either at the UN where I'd like us to push harder for clearer resolutions calling on Syria for a clear political transition. But we'll keep pushing.
'Obviously we're part of an EU arms embargo so we're not able to take that step."
Asked what he would say if Assad said today he was ready to leave and wanted a safe exit, the Prime Minister said: "Done. Anything, anything to get that man out of the country and to have a safe transition in Syria.
"Of course I would favour him facing the full force of international law and justice for what he's done. I am certainly not offering him an exit plan to Britain but if wants to leave he could leave, that could be arranged."
The Prime Minister will pledge an extra £14 million to refugees in Jordan today as he visits a refugee camp which has been set up for Syrians.

Do you still believe your government? (From the article below):
"Obama administration officials were stunned last spring when they found $US37 billion in Libyan regime accounts and investments in the United States"
Oh, really?:
– Matt Taibbi: Why is the Federal Reserve Bailing Out Gaddafi?:
Barack Obama recently issued an executive order imposing a wave of sanctions against Libya, not only freezing Libyan assets, but barring Americans from having business dealings with Libyan banks.
So raise your hand if you knew that the United States has been extending billions of dollars in aid to Qaddafi and to the Central Bank of Libya, through a Libyan-owned subsidiary bank operating out of Bahrain. And raise your hand if you knew that, just a week or so after Obama's executive order, the U.S. Treasury Department quietly issued an order exempting this and other Libyan-owned banks to continue operating without sanction.
Yes, all of this is more MSM & government bullshit we can take a bath in.

I remember Ron Curtis…the unflappable Syracuse newscaster…always the rock…the trusted news voice…our city's Cronkite having his JFK assassination moment, balancing his responsibility to the community with the raw emotion felt as a parent.
A Syracusan.
A human.
I remember the television in our kitchen, a 5-inch black and white under the cabinet model.
I remember this voice….a voice that for years was responsible for nourishing us with the news at dinnertime. This was the voice that told us that an airplane had exploded over a town in Scotland that no one had ever heard of, and that no one would ever forget.
I (personally) don't know anyone who died on this flight, but I didn't need to. Indulge me for a second here, but Pan Am 103 is Syracuse's 9/11, but on a much smaller scale. We all felt it. Everyone on the plane, including 35 students from Syracuse University and a couple that lived near me in Liverpool, died. The wife of that Liverpool couple worked at the Wegmans on Taft Road and was a face that I recognized from grocery shopping with my parents. My only connection to the students came as a result of my work at the college many years later. As the communications contact for the women's volleyball team, I became acquainted with the story of Alexis Tsairis — a Newhouse student and volleyball player that had a team award named in her memory. Earlier this week, my friend Brian told me that his brother was traveling home from Europe and was supposed to be that flight.
He missed it.
This week, Syracuse.com/The Post-Standard columnist Sean Kirst wrote a beautiful column about Syracuse University's Pan Am 103 archives and its curator:
Box 004 contains personal artifacts carried onto Flight 103 by Alexander Lowenstein, one of the SU students who died while flying home after several months abroad. Peter Lowenstein, Alex's father, said he and his wife, Suse, were told their son wore the sweater into Heathrow Airport on the late December day when he left London. The family believes Alex removed the sweater and stowed it in an overhead bin. After the bomb went off, a burst of wind carried the sweater away from the fire and shattering violence. It drifted, somehow undamaged, to the ground.
It's a must read.
At 2:03 p.m. EST, 25 years after the bombing, services will take place in Syracuse, New York, Arlington, Va., London and Lockerbie. Candles will be lit and prayers will be said. Bells will toll. Tears will be shed.
I detest the phrase, "Never forget."
Saturday, we will remember.

A New Jersey man has been charged with heading a large-scale operation to distribute drugs in the area. A search warrant was executed by investigators in Gilbert County in an effort to put a stop to the alleged drug trafficking ring. A criminal complaint that was signed against the man claims that he had 11 pounds of marijuana on his property and 150 grams of hashish. He reportedly also had materials for packaging, which investigators allege indicates that he intended to distribute the drugs.
All of the evidence was gathered from a detached garage outside of the home of the accused. He was charged with the first degree counts of maintaining and operating a facility to produce drugs and with heading a drug trafficking ring. He also faces second-degree charges of manufacturing and distributing drugs and conspiracy.
There were several other people charged in this case. It is unclear whether any evidence proves that the man actually placed the evidence in his garage or if it was placed there by someone else. All of the others have been released pending their court appearances, but the man is still in custody.
For those who have been arrested on drug trafficking charges in New Jersey, it is possible that a criminal lawyer can help. In cases where there is no proof that the evidence belonged to the accused, some cases may even be thrown out. In other cases, the criminal law attorney may be able to show the accused the best course of action to take in order to receive a lighter sentence.

As explained in the Westword story "Tough Subject," the recent resignation of brand-new West High School principal Santiago Grado was sudden. To help parents make sense of the change, West High held a meeting on September 29 at 4 p.m. However, only one person showed up. Now, a West grandmother says the reason may be because many parents didn't know about it.
Helen Garcia has two grandchildren at West and is a frequent volunteer there; she says the students and teachers call her "Grandma Helen." In the past week, Garcia says she's spoken with 38 parents -- all of whom say they never received the letter DPS claims was sent to parents explaining Grado's resignation and inviting them to the meeting.
"If the parents don't get the message, how are they supposed to show up?" she says.
But Denver Public Schools says an attempt was made. "Letters went home with every student when the change was made. We'd be happy to resend the info to any family who did not receive it. The content of the letter will also go home to families in the next newsletter, due out this week," DPS spokesman Mike Vaughn said in an e-mail.
Garcia says she was surprised to see Grado go so quickly. She was part of a committee that interviewed candidates for the principal job, and she says Grado seemed to care about West's students from the start. The committee liked him so much, she says, that it recommended him for the position.
"We'd ask a certain question and he would always say, 'The kids come first. I don't care about anything else except the learning and education of the kids,'" Garcia says.

Garcia thought Grado was doing a good job this year. She says the students liked him and he seemed invested in getting to know the parents, too. He made a point to attend West's football games, she says, and even resurrected the school's mascot, a cowboy.
"He brought back the spirit of West High," Garcia says.
DPS administrator Antonio Esquibel told Westword that Grado chose to resign after the two had a conversation about what Esquibel saw as Grado's struggles at West. "There were some gaps in leadership, specifically around academic achievement," Esquibel said. "One of the things we're really trying to focus on is making sure students at West know there's a strong commitment to them and to provide them with a great education to prepare them for college and beyond. In order to do that, we need a strong instructional leader."

Grado told his side of the story to Westword yesterday. In addition to attending athletic events, Grado says he was planning weekly Friday-night barbecues for the students and the community. The food would have been free, he says, and he was negotiating with Denver Health to bring its mobile clinic to the barbecue once a month.
Assistant principal Domonic Martinez took over for Grado. Martinez was disciplined by DPS last year for not following budgetary procedures when he was principal at CEC Middle College. But Esquibel told Westwordthat those issues have been resolved. "Domonic understood what happened and what the concerns were, and he fully explained himself to his superior," Esquibel said. "He fully understood what mistake he made and was remorseful for that and said it wouldn't happen again."
Garcia says she likes Martinez. "He said, 'I'm here to work with you; I'm here to help the parents,'" she says of a conversation she had with him. "I feel comfortable with him, but I really thought we were going to get somewhere with Santiago."

text: iceHorse 3 Posted August 25, 2013 Again, a discussion aimed at improving mutual understanding and peace... We all know that in the West, Islam is often associated with terrorism. We know many Muslims in the West feel that they are the targets of "Islamophobia". In short, we know that a lot of tension exists. We often hear it said that most Muslims in the world are "moderate". But what does that mean? A common way to learn about large groups is through polling, this is a common practice, and everyone falls into some categories. Let me propose a few categories. They might not be good categories, we can add and subtract, but it might be interesting to see how people on this forum feel about these categories. I'll propose starting with "easy" ways to be moderate, and then harder and harder ways: Easy: Anyone who would never commit terrorism. Not as easy: Anyone who disagrees with terrorism. Harder: Anyone who will publicly speak out against terrorism. Really Hard: Anyone who publicly debates with terrorists. In your experience, what percentage of Muslims do you think would fall into these categories? We could do a similar poll concerning the introduction of Sharia into Western countries: Easy: Anyone who would never actively participate in spreading Sharia. Not as easy: Anyone who disagrees with spreading Sharia Harder: Anyone who will speak out against spreading Sharia Really Hard: Anyone who will publicly debate people who are trying to spread Sharia. What percentage of Muslims living in the West do you think would fall into these categories? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Development and evaluation of asphalt technologies utilizing renewable resources and innovative pavement systems

R. Christopher Williams
As the cost of construction materials continues to rise and place financial constraints on transportation agencies, engineers are looking for innovative technologies that minimize construction costs and optimize the selection of materials used in asphalt pavements. This dissertation includes a selection of four papers that advance the development, application, and utilization of innovative asphalt pavement technologies. Among the four papers, three subject areas in asphalt materials are examined to cultivate the use of newly-developed technologies in the asphalt industry. These include: the robust evaluation of hot mix asphalt from multi-state sources that utilize recycled asphalt shingles (RAS), the application and evaluation of a crack-relief interlayer asphalt mix design using new polymer technology, and the development of a bio-based thermoplastic elastomeric block-copolymer as a modifier for asphalt binder. In the case of the bio-based polymer, polymerized triglycerides from soybean oil serve as the "rubbery" block to replace butadiene in butadiene-based styrenic block co-polymers, thereby creating a new thermoplastic elastomeric polymer that is more renewable and biodegradable than its petroleum based counterparts.
For each subject area, laboratory experiments were conducted on experimental asphalt materials to determine the performance characteristics for the development and/or evaluation of new technologies. The results of each study show the advantage of implementing the technologies in pavement applications. Asphalt formulations developed with the bio-based block-copolymer demonstrate the block-copolymer's effectiveness in improving the rheological properties of asphalt binder; crack-relief interlayer mixes utilizing an improved polymer modified binder formulation are effective in delaying reflective cracking in overlay pavement systems; and a variety of asphalt pavements that incorporate RAS alone or in combination with other cost saving technologies can be successfully produced and meet laboratory performance testing standards.

Know how when you walk into McDonald's or any other fast food restaurant or just about anywhere with service personnel they ask you if they can help you? They are, after all, at your service; it's their job to be so.
Now, if you had to reckon, what do you think the likelihood is that a woman becomes very sexually attracted to a man asking her how he can help her, then catering to her every need? Chances are, not terribly likely, right?
