District Policies
What they are and why we have them…
From determining the name for a new wing at the High School, to defining appropriate disciplinary action, or outlining acceptable fund-raising activities, decisions impacting district activities are based on policies set by the Board of Education. Policies are established and enforced to assure consistent and fair decision-making by the Board and district personnel.
Rules incorporated into Student Handbooks, including attendance requirements and acceptable computer use, comply with Board policy.
The district policy manual contains policies mandated by the state (such as how the district budget is prepared) along with policies that are established and adopted by the Board of Education that address the unique and specific needs of the district (such as dress codes). It is available for review at the Board of Education Office and by clicking on the link in the left column of this page.

Former sheriff's deputy freed on bail until April court appearance
The husband of a Norridgewock day care owner has been freed on bail following his arrest last week on charges he sexually abused three children who attended the day care.
State police arrested 67-year-old Horace Barstow on Friday on three counts of unlawful sexual contact, according to Steve McCausland, spokesman for the Maine Department of Public Safety. The alleged victims are all under the age of 12 and the abuse occurred at the day care, McCausland said.
Barstow's wife, Barbara Barstow, runs ABC 123 Daycare from their home on Upper Main Street, McCausland said.
Horace Barstow is a former Somerset County sheriff's deputy, McCausland said. He did not have any information on how long Barstow served as a deputy.
Barstow was freed on bail from the Somerset County Jail and is due in court on April 3.
McCausland said Detective Christopher Tupper is interviewing parents of current and past students as part of his ongoing investigation.

Melvin, A's one of game's most successful unions
Oakland A's manager Bob Melvin has the respect of his peers, of his players and the media.
What really underscores Melvin's strength in the dugout, however, is he has the respect of the A's front office, too.
That's 4-for-4.
That's no easy task. Not in Oakland, where Melvin's three predecessors found it a challenge. Think about it.
Art Howe was let go after the 2002 season despite three consecutive postseason appearances and 296 regular-season wins from 2000-02.
Ken Macha was on the job for four years before he was let go after taking the A's to the American League Championship Series in 2006. That was the second postseason appearance during his tenure, in which Oakland won 368 regular-season games.
And Bob Geren, a childhood friend of general manager Billy Beane, was replaced after 63 games in 2011, having been unable to put together a winning season in his four-plus years on the job.
Enter Melvin.
After getting a feel for things in the final 99 games of 2011, Melvin took the A's to back-to-back AL West titles in 2012-13. He has them back on top of the division again this year on a pace that would have them reach 100 wins in a season for the 11th time in the franchise's 114-year history.
With the Athletics, however, it's more than winning games, as Howe and Macha underscored, and it's more than being able to follow the orders from a front office that is very involved in the day-to-day operations, which is clear from Geren's tenure.
Melvin gets it.
"He represents the next generation of manager," said Beane. "You can't have a more perfect guy. He has that ability to be well-liked by the players, but also respected. That's a fine line.
"He's up to speed with the front office and embraces the information he is given. He is hungry for information to stay up on everything. But again, there's a fine line. He'll ask questions. He'll challenge ideas.
"And he can [give and take] with the media. From a general manager's standpoint, he always represents the organization well without being transparent. The manager talks to the media and fans on a daily basis. He is the face of the organization over the course of a season. It's important that a guy handle that."
Melvin's third time -- as a manager -- has been charming. He made his managerial debut in Seattle during a two-year stint in which the Mariners won 93 games in 2003 and lost 99 games in '04. Melvin was hired in Arizona by general manager Joe Garagiola Jr. in '05, and he took the D-backs to a National League West title in '07, only to be dismissed by Josh Byrnes -- who replaced Garagiola as GM in late 2005 -- after 29 games in '09. Farm director A.J. Hinch, who had never managed at any level in pro ball, was then handed the managerial reins.
Two years later, Melvin was hired in Oakland, and he's earned straight A's ever since.
"He has a unique background," Beane said of Melvin, a graduate of the University of California, Berkeley. "He played for a long time, and when he stopped playing, he worked on Wall Street before getting back into the game."
During his playing career, Melvin had a variety of personalities for a manager -- Sparky Anderson in Detroit, Roger Craig in San Francisco, Frank Robinson and Johnny Oates in Baltimore, Hal McRae in Kansas City, Butch Hobson in Boston, Buck Showalter with the Yankees and Gene Lamont with the White Sox.
Melvin has been able to build off the strengths of each while developing his own managerial style, which makes him a fit in Oakland, where others weren't.
"As an organization, we are always challenging each other," said Beane. "I want people to express themselves and voice their say. We talk about lineups and matchups, and players and changes. Those conversations happen all the time.
"Obviously, we have a strict philosophy, but there are no absolutes. It's one thing to have a template on how to run a game, but [stuff] happens."
And it's not an autocratic process.
"He's able to negotiate at times," said Beane. "I provide an ally for him and remind [front-office personnel] that on the field, the game is really fast, and adjustments have to be made on the run. He does a good job with that."
Besides, it's not like there is someone looking over Melvin's shoulder.
"He gets a lot of autonomy," said Beane. "We're not a front office that is always in the clubhouse. We are not a front office that travels with the team. Bob and I talk every day, but never after a game. I've learned that over the years. I'll call the next morning, win or lose."
With Melvin, that has most often been after a win.

I don't know what Jules Dervaes was thinking when he trademarked the phrases "urban homestead" and "urban homesteading." I don't know how he managed to convince somebody at the trademark bureau that he was the originator of these terms and of the techniques they cover. He did not originate these terms, nor did he originate the practices they describe. I suppose this is indicative of the vast cultural divide that exists in America: to those of us who have been urban homesteaders over the last forty years, the movement is widespread and deep; to somebody who lives inside the beltway (mentally if not geographically) and commutes to the copyright office, we are apparently invisible, and Dervaes was the first person who brought our movement to his attention.
Anyway, since getting his trademark, Dervaes has been acting like a bully, sending threatening letters to long-established urban homesteading groups and authors, getting Facebook pages banned, and generally making it harder for urban homesteaders to network with each other. Will somebody please put a pie in this guy's face?
The urban homesteaders who have been blocked on Facebook have started a "Take Back Urban Homesteading" Facebook group, as well as a petition to revoke Dervaes' trademark.
A bizarre twist is that Dervaes shut down these Facebook sites alleging violation of "copyright," but there is an important legal difference between "trademark" and "copyright." None of these sites used any of Dervaes' copyrighted writings, but Facebook shut them down anyway, and says it won't allow "urban homesteading" pages unless Dervaes withdraws his complaint, which he shows no sign of doing. This is a disturbing precedent for Facebook–does it mean that Monsanto can use its trademark to get Facebook to bump pages like Millions Against Monsanto by OrganicConsumers.org, Say NO to MONSANTO, and Exposing Monsanto, just to name a few?
Fortunately, the Electronic Frontier Foundation has joined the fray on the side of freeing "Urban Homesteading," putting their considerable legal resources to work and adding the Dervaes Institute to their "Hall of Shame." (EFF, by the way, was started by Grateful Dead lyricist John Perry Barlow….makes me glad "the music never stopped"! )
Dervaes did not originate the term "urban homesteading." Recently I was looking at a 1980 copy of the Whole Earth Catalog, which has a couple of pages devoted to "urban homesteading." At Dervaes' website, a "history" page indicates that in 1980 Jules D.was practicing rural homesteading in Florida, and did not move to Los Angeles and begin homesteading in an urban area until 1985. So no, he didn't coin the term. And no, I'm not giving you a link to his website. He can toot his own horn. I ain't gonna help him.
And yes, "urban homestead/ing" is in widespread use. At the "Urban Homestead" website, the opening statement reads, " Since 1992, we have helped supply home orchardists with some of the best apple trees ever grown." An internet search yields 258,000 mentions of "urban homesteading," and the the Dervaes are not at the head of the list. Jealous, Jules? Ruby Blume, of the Oakland Institute of Urban Homesteading, told me in a telephone interview that she had never heard of the Dervaes family before she got a letter from them recently, informing her of their 2010 copyright. Blume's Institute of Urban Homesteading has been up and running since 2008. She wrote them back, requesting more information and informing them that she intends to contest their trademark. She has yet to receive a reply.
Trademarking "urban homestead" is akin to trademarking "alternative energy" or, for that matter, "home bible study." For Dervaes to attempt to prevent anyone else from using the term is, simply put, nuts. Bill Mollison couldn't copyright "permaculture" because it had already be become common enough to be in the dictionary before he applied for the copyright, and he is quite clearly both the inventor of the term and the codifier of the practices involved. The Green Party has been unable to trademark "Green Party" because there is just one other group in the country that calls itself "The Green Party." There are dozens of authors and local groups who use the phrase "urban homesteading" to describe their work, or in the titles of their books. How could Dervaes get away with such arrogant nonsense?
Even Eric Pelton, the lawyer who helped Dervaes obtain the trademark admitted, in an unrelated interview, that
"Weak trademarks are descriptive or generic words. Generic words like 'laptop' for computers or 'quick subs' for a sandwich shop are very very weak trademarks and are only entitled to minimal, at best, protection."
Or "weak, generic terms" like "urban homestead," for that matter? Just because a lawyer will take your money, doesn't mean he thinks you're right. In that light, it's probably significant that Jules Dervaes, and not Eric Pelton, is the originator of the effort to shut down "rival" urban homesteading sites.
Here's Dervaes' defense of his trademark move:
"as the popularity of Urban Homestead and Urban Homesteading increased and began to label everything from television productions to big agriculture products, we couldn't shake the warning bells in our minds. You tell us… who would you rather own the trademarks? Us or a big business corporation?"
But Dervaes has not gone after big corporations. He has gone after other urban homesteaders who have written books or established educational organizations, a farmers' market, Facebook groups of urban homesteaders, a library, and a community radio station. No big guys, just little guys. In the press release I just quoted, Dervaes ironically refers to Wikipedia to define what he is doing, rather than to anything he wrote himself. The Wiki article has numerous links to urban homesteading sites, but only mentions Dervaes in relation to his effort to trademark the term.
Can you say "credibility gap," boys and girls?
Some of what this story is about is that urban homesteading, as most of us who engage in or encourage the practice are aware, is not just a set of material techniques. The urban homesteading movement–and the rural homesteading movement, too, for that matter–is about creating a community, and about creating community consciousness. The Dervaes family, in contrast, has never had much to say about creating community.
Nobody else who uses the term " urban homesteading" has attempted to trademark it because it makes no sense to most of us to get territorial over language. Creative Commons is more our style than copyright and trademark.
At a deeper level, too, Dervaes' ego trip demonstrates that technique is not enough. To create a new paradigm, we need to purify our own consciousness first, or we will just end up creating the same mess we were attempting to escape.
This story also fits into a still wider question, the question of "intellectual property rights." I don't have time to go deeply into this issue right now, but here's a quickie about it:
There's a place for intellectual property rights. If you actually create a technology or a piece of music or a book or a photograph, you should be able to control its use. Part of that control should certainly involve getting paid for your effort and inspiration if somebody else is using it to make money for themselves. It's OK to prevent others from stealing the results of your own efforts.
Our trademark and copyright laws, however, have been taken to such an extreme that they threaten to cut us off from our cultural heritage. For instance, if you want to perform or record a Beatles song, you have to make arrangements with the estate of Michael Jackson, who bought the Beatles' song rights in 1985. Even if you have no plans to make money from use of a Beatles song, you must pay to perform or record it. Never mind that Paul and John's heirs will do fine for the rest of their lives and then some without another penny of royalties, and that most of the money actually goes to a bunch of lawyers. You got to pay,
Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google, won my cheers when, in an interview on NPR, he said that he would love to buy the rights to the Beatles' songs and release them into the public domain so that everybody could play them. Then the economy fell apart, and it never happened, but it was one of those great radio moments.
Another example–some friends of mine are trying to put on a grassroots music festival, which they are calling "The Black Swan Alternative Arts and Music Festival." It's really more of a big open party than a commercial event, BUT they are getting hassled by ASCAP to pay royalties up front, even though most, if not all, the music that will be played will be originals, if not downright improvised on the spot, and most of the bands are playing for free. My friends are just a couple of poor hippies trying to throw a party, and they're getting jacked around, held to standards that are pretty irrelevant to what they're trying to do by an outfit that, like that hapless dude in the copyright bureau, hasn't got a clue about what's going on out here on the other side of the cultural divide.
My standard answer to bureaucratic hassles like the Dervaes' stink bombs and ASCAP's legal threats is that the system that upholds such bizarre legalities is already coming apart at the seams, or, as with the mega-earthquake in Japan the other day, the fault lines, and all we have to do is be patient.
But even a creature in its death throes can do some damage. Sometimes we can't ignore crassness and stupidity, because they thrust themselves in our faces, our websites, our wallets, or sometimes even our pants. (Can you say "'right to life'", boys and girls?)
At such times, we have to depend on whatever level of inner peace and stability we have built into ourselves, trust that we will respond as appropriately as we can, pay close attention, and learn from what happens so that we, unlike so many in our crazed society, don't end up doing the same thing over and over again, hoping for a different result.
In urban homesteading, just likethe rest of life, the most important thing to cultivate is our own sanity.

Where to find healthy smoothies on Long Island
Spinach, kale, beets and broccoli -- they're not the first ingredients you'd expect to find in a smoothie. But a healthy, if not quirky, frozen drink they make. Add a shot of vitamins or a supplement (bee pollen, anyone?) and you'll get an extra nutritional boost.
"I have one each morning instead of coffee," says Ashley Messina, 23, manager of Jamba Juice in Stony Brook, referring to the different smoothies in the store. "It's so refreshing, and no sugar."
Here's a look at how a handful of Long Island smoothie shops are thinking beyond the basic blended fruit. (All prices are for the smallest serving size.)
Broccoli Blue
WHERE All Natural Blends (also known as All Natural Juice and Blends), Babylon
THE DRINK This health food store that aims to use only organic ingredients is better known for its juicing, but the smoothies also follow the credo of using real vegetables and no added sugar. A favorite? Broccoli Blue, which blends blueberries, broccoli, cranberry juice and vanilla ice cream. It's surprisingly refreshing, although the taste of broccoli is evident.
ALSO If you don't mind the zip of fresh ginger, the ginger green blends kale, spinach, blueberries, grated ginger and alkaline water. Odd to be drinking something so delicious and at the same time picking pieces of kale from between your teeth.
Berry upBEET
WHERE Jamba Juice, Stony Brook and Roosevelt Field
THE DRINK One of the more unusual veggies to hit a smoothie has to be in "Berry upBEET," a mixture of beet juice and fruits. Normally an acquired taste, the beet flavor actually was tart but yummy.
ALSO Tropical harvest, with butternut squash, carrots, sweet potatoes, peaches and mangos -- a moderately sweet, filling drink.
Bee pollen protein smoothie
WHERE Cornucopia, Sayville
THE DRINK Made of bee pollen, hemp protein, coconut water, vanilla and frozen fruit, it's a satisfying drink, despite not having any added sugar. With the help of coconut water, the strawberry and blueberry flavors of the frozen fruit made it cold and sweet enough.
ALSO The goji berry smoothie ($6.49) has goji berries, raw cacao (a raw form of chocolate), agave and frozen strawberries.
Nutty party
WHERE Madison's Smoothie Café , North Bellmore and Bethpage
THE DRINK One slurp of the Nutty Party, and it tastes like drinking a peanut butter sandwich, something the kids will love. Besides peanut butter, the icy drink has whey protein, bananas and nonfat yogurt.
ALSO Dylan's treasure, which tastes like chocolate-covered bananas with nonfat yogurt ($4.79), is another kid favorite.
Triple berry oat smoothie
WHERE Tropical Smoothie Cafe, with locations all over Long Island, including Huntington Station, Levittown, Smithtown
THE DRINK Instead of eating your oatmeal, sip it. Flaxseed and whole-grain oats give it a mealy texture, while fruits -- strawberries, blueberries, cranberries -- sweeten it up. Whey protein, Splenda and a multivitamin get thrown in, too.
ALSO Green is a juice mix with pineapple, banana, mango, spinach, kale and turbinado sugar -- it's sweet and green.

Lobby group NO2ID has told the Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA) to stop acting as a propagandist for the government's doomed ID card project.
Sean Tipton, senior spokesman for ABTA, has been quoted in various publications banging the drum for the card that no one wants. Tipton claimed the card would encourage people to book cross-channel ferries because it would provide an easier and cheaper form of ID than a passport.
Guy Herbert, general secretary of NO2ID, said ABTA was embarrassing its members.
In an open letter to chief exec of ABTA Mark Tanzer, Herbert said the organisation seemed to believe the card was some sort of replacement for the old visitor's passport rather than a bureaucratic and expensive burden on the citizen.
Herbert explained:
Anyone registering for an ID card will be fingerprinted (at their own additional expense) and placed on an official database for life. They will acquire onerous duties to inform the authorities of changes in their personal circumstances, will face severe financial penalties for failures to comply with the associated bureaucracy, and be signing a blank check for future charges... What will your members' customers think of a travel agent who urges them to do something like that in order to get on a ferry?
I hope that ABTA is aware that, as part of 'voluntary' enrolment, from 2011 the IPS plans to require passport applicants to join the ID database (or they won't get a passport). You ought to be, since the impact of that on the travel industry can only be entirely negative.
The letter concluded by saying the card scheme was already bad for the traveller and would soon be bad for the travel industry too.
We rang ABTA for a response and was told the association stands by its remarks and had no further comment to make. It said no members had complained. ®
The government while not exactly sticking up for ABTA, did take issue with No2ID. "It is wrong to suggest there is an additional expense for undergoing biometric enrolment. The entire process, from application to card delivery, is included in the £30 charge.
He also insisted that the cost of an ID card "compares favourably with the £77.50 cost of a passport."

White Sox hitting coach Jeff Manto is satisfied with one of the most analyzed and scrutinized swings in Chicago — Gordon Beckham's.General manager Ken Williams drew more attention to it last season, saying he longed for Beckham's college and (successful) rookie swing."He's gotten that back to where he was in the minor leagues and when he first got here,'' Manto said Monday. "That's what the project has been, to get him to where he was.''… "I feel like I'm doing what I thought I would do,'' said Beckham, whose average was up to .217 after a 3-for-27 start.
"Where he was, I don't think he could have sustained a major-league season, 600 plate appearances,'' Manto said. "The bat path was a little off, and his shoulders were steep. Right now he's square, head with the shoulders. He has way better balance, and he's way more aggressive. In the position he is now, being taller, and the bat path a little better, he can sustain. I'm not saying he can hit .300 or .280, but he's able to make adjustments throughout a season.''
Other White Sox links:
- Chris defends Adam Dunn and in the process looks at how much baseball players get paid.
- James says Robin Ventura wants to use his bench but he faces a problem in doing so. He, also, looks at the improvement of Gordon Beckham.
- Fangraphs' Bill Petti looks at what's behind Adam Dunn's return to normal. Dunn hit his 11th Home Run today. He hit 11 all last year.

RTC Conference Primer: #2 – Big EastPosted by Brian Goodman on November 5th, 2010
Rob Dauster of Ballin' is a Habit is the Big East correspondent for Rush The Court.
Predicted Order of Finish
- 1. Villanova (15-3)
- T2. Pittsburgh (14-4)
- T2. Syracuse (14-4)
- 4. Georgetown (12-6)
- T5. West Virginia (11-7)
- T5. Marquette (11-7)
- 7. Seton Hall (10-8)
- T8. Notre Dame (9-9)
- T8. St. John's (9-9)
- T10. Connecticut (8-10)
- T10. Louisville (8-10)
- T12. South Florida (7-11)
- T12. Cincinnati (7-11)
- T14. Providence (3-15)
- T14. Rutgers (3-15)
- T14. DePaul (3-15)
All-Conference Team (key stats from last season in parentheses)
- G: Corey Fisher, Villanova (13.3 ppg, 3.9 apg, 2.8 rpg)
- G: Kemba Walker, UConn (14.6 ppg, 5.1 apg, 4.3 rpg, 2.1 spg)
- F: Austin Freeman, Georgetown (16.5 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 44.4% 3pt)
- F: Kris Joseph, Syracuse (10.8 ppg, 5.5 rpg, 1.4 spg)
- F: Kevin Jones, West Virginia (13.5 ppg, 7.2 rpg)
6th Man
Tim Abromaitis, Notre Dame (16.1 ppg, 4.7 rpg, 42.9% 3pt)
Impact Newcomers
- Fab Melo, Syracuse: Melo should have an immediate impact as the starting center for the Orange. Regarded as one of, if not the, best center in the class, Melo has more polish offensively than most bigs do as freshman, but his size in the middle of the Syracuse 2-3 zone may be more important.
- Vander Blue, Marquette: Blue should step in and start immediately for the Golden Eagles. He's everything you imagine when you think of a Marquette wing player. He's tough, athletic, and can slash to the basket. He'll remind some of Jerel McNeal.
- Nate Lubick, Georgetown: With the Hoyas losing Greg Monroe to the NBA, they will have a gaping hole in the middle. Lubick has the skill set to be the high post forward of the future for John Thompson III, and he could immediately slide into the starting lineup.
What You Need To Know
As much as it pains me to say it, the Big East is going to be down this season, especially near the bottom of the league. The two best players in the conference are probably Austin Freeman and Corey Fisher, and while I don't want to take anything away from those two — I love the way that both play — they are a long way from being lottery picks. Providence, Rutgers and DePaul are as bad as any three teams at the bottom of the power conferences, which is saying a lot considering what the cellar of the Pac-10 and SEC have to offer. Now think about this: If the Big East wants to get more than six teams into the Big Dance, the teams that will likely be fighting for the last couple of at-large bids this season are Seton Hall, St. John's, Notre Dame and UConn. And that assumes that Marquette and West Virginia are dancing. Yuck.
Predicted Champion
Villanova (NCAA #2 Seed): I like Villanova a lot more than other people do. I think Corey Fisher has a chance to become a star this season as he steps out of the shadow of Scottie Reynolds. I think Maalik Wayns has a chance to come into his own as well. Corey Stokes and Dominic Cheek should provide some size, athleticism, and versatility on the perimeter, while Jayvaughn Pinkston and Isaiah Armwood provide the same along the front line. The trio of Antonio Pena, Mouphtaou Yarou and Maurice Sutton is one of the better front lines in the conference. More than anything, however, I think that Jay Wright has answered the biggest questions his team had last season. Without a doubt, Villanova will be better inside with Yarou healthy, Pinkston on the roster, and Armwood and Sutton a year stronger. They should also be better defensively without Reynolds and Fisher sharing the floor. This team has a great mixture of size, athleticism, youth, experience, and versatility. They remind me quite a bit of the Villanova team that made the 2009 Final Four.

Story highlights
- A house committee vote kills the civil unions bill for this year in Colorado
- "We will keep fighting to equality and #civilunions," the sponsor tweets
- Democrats are using civil unions as an election issue, the Republican House speaker says
- Five states allow civil unions, a legal status short of marriage, for same-sex couples
The battle over same-sex civil unions in Colorado did not end when a legislative committee killed a measure to allow them Monday, leaders for both sides said Tuesday.
"We will keep fighting to equality and #civilunions," State Rep. Mark Ferrandino, the leader of the minority Democrats, said in a Twitter posting after a committee voted 5-4 not to sent the bill to the house floor.
Colorado House Speaker Frank McNulty, who assigned the bill to a committee where he knew the majority Republicans would opposed it, acknowledged Tuesday that the civil unions debate "is not over for the year."
"It's pretty clear (the Democrats) are attempting to use this as an agenda item heading into the November elections," McNulty told CNN in a phone interview.
"McNulty fights against equality & thwarts democratic process voters will remember," Ferrandino, the bill's sponsor, tweeted Tuesday.
McNulty accused Gov. John Hickenlooper, a Democrat, of trying to divide Coloradans by calling the special session to consider the civil unions bill.
The speaker sent the bill to the State Veterans and Military Affairs Committee, which Ferrandino called McNulty's "kill committee," so the process would "move as efficiently as possible" to allow legislators to "refocus our efforts to put Coloradans back to work."
"Colorado has an unemployment rate that is still far too high," McNulty said.
McNulty disputes Hickenlooper's claim that the civil unions bill is not a same-sex marriage measure, which the Colorado state constitution prohibits.
"The bill itself makes the case for that," he said. "It really is creating the concept of same-sex marriage."
It would lead to a costly legal fight over its constitutionality, he said. "There's no doubt in my mind this would happen."
The civil unions bill cleared committees in the last days of the regular session, but was filibustered by Republicans in the final days, Hickenlooper said. He called this week's special session to complete the work.
"They wouldn't let it come to the floor, and when it died, 30 other bills died. And these are important to our businesses," the governor told CNN.
McNulty said it was "a last-minute, divisive attack on our traditional views on marriage for short-term political gain."
McNulty suggested there was a link between what is going on in Colorado and President Barack Obama's announcement last week that he supports same-sex marriage. "To me, it's more than a simple coincidence that all of this is happening at the same time," McNulty said. "Bills die on the calendar every year and we don't have a special session as a result of it."
A civil union is a legal status created by the state of Vermont in 2000, and subsequently adopted by a number of other states, according to Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders, in a posting on its website. "It provides legal protection to couples at the state law level, but omits federal protections as well as the dignity, clarity, security and power of the word 'marriage.'"
Obama said last week that he supports letting states decide the issue of same-sex marriage on their own, but added that he was "disappointed" by last Tuesday's vote on the issue in North Carolina, where a ban on same-sex marriage was added to the state constitution. Obama believes the amendment is discriminatory against gays and lesbians, a spokesman said Wednesday.
Five U.S. states allow civil unions for same-sex couples, but not marriage.
Six states -- Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa, Vermont, New Hampshire and New York -- and the District of Columbia issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, while 31 states have voted in favor of constitutional amendments that seek to define marriage as a heterosexual union.
In February, Washington Gov. Christine Gregoire signed a bill that would legalize same-sex marriage beginning in June, but opponents there have pledged to block the bill and called for voters to decide the issue. Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley signed into law a bill that permits the state's same-sex couples to wed as of January 1, and state residents may vote to affirm such a law.
Minnesota will vote on a state constitutional amendment similar to the one in North Carolina, while Maine will have a referendum on allowing same-sex marriage. Meanwhile, two cases seeking to overturn laws forbidding the practice, one from California and another from Massachusetts, could be headed to the U.S. Supreme Court in coming months.

An Explanation For Why UMG May Be Right That It Can Pull Down MegaUpload's Video [Updated]
from the but-it's-still-sleazy deptSee the update at the end
The legal fight between Megaupload and Universal Music Group keeps getting more and more... odd. After the court gave UMG basically a day to respond, the company filed its response and made a rather surprising point: that a deal with YouTube/Google lets it take down videos it has no copyright over. This seems odd, and lots of people are screaming about some crazy clause that lets UMG censor anyone's videos. But I think I understand what's going on here -- and it's a very specific situation, where UMG sorta used a loophole -- so read on for the details. UMG is still being questionable, sleazy and short-sighted... but probably legal.
The key part of the company's legal response likely is accurate and probably kills MegaUpload's case. There are a few different ways that content can be taken down off of YouTube concerning copyright claims. One is via ContentID, the automated system that matches fingerprints. One is via a DMCA takedown notice. And one is via YouTube's Content Management System. This last one doesn't get much attention and isn't that well known, but it's basically halfway in between the other two (loosely speaking), granting partners the ability to spot and block videos that aren't matched by ContentID, but without sending a DMCA takedown. If you're familiar with the details of the system (which it appears MegaUpload and its lawyers were not), it was actually easy to tell this was a CMS block by the message that appeared on the blocked video. It said "This video contains content from UMG, who has blocked it on copyright grounds." That's the message that shows up on CMS blocks. DMCA takedowns say that the video is "no longer available."
So, on that point, UMG may very well be correct in its filing, that it's not subject to DMCA sanctions because it didn't actually file a DMCA notice. This is kind of a weak excuse, frankly, and really calls into question how YouTube's CMS system works, more than anything else. In theory, this also means that the only retribution that can happen for UMG wrongly taking down the videos of others is that Google cuts them off. But seeing as Google has a big partnership with UMG to build and run Vevo, that's unlikely to happen. That's a bit scary, but it suggests UMG more or less has a free pass to shut down certain videos it doesn't like without much recourse (well, beyond public ridicule).
That said, a part of UMG's explanation isn't entirely clear, but I have some guesses as to what happened. UMG claims that its agreement with YouTube goes beyond just copyright, and that it's allowed to pull videos for other (unnamed) reasons. This is new, in a sense, because YouTube has always suggested that CMS is for copyright issues -- and, in fact, the original message on the video, did, in fact, say that it was a copyright issue. YouTube later changed that message to say it was a terms of service issue. And that provides a clue.
I believe that part of the Vevo agreement is that UMG gets to "pull" videos of its own artists from YouTube for the purpose of putting them on Vevo. That's the intention anyway. I know when Vevo launched, that was part of the deal. All the YouTube videos of UMG artists magically jumped over to Vevo. So, I'm guessing that UMG basically used this loophole, which was supposed to be about taking videos off YouTube for the purpose of putting them on Vevo, and realized it could just "take the videos off YouTube" as long as they had UMG artists in them, without ever putting them up on Vevo.
In other words, due to the specific nature of the Vevo agreement -- which was intended to move videos from YouTube to Vevo -- UMG can pull videos that show its artists off of YouTube. Of course, in this case, it used it for an entirely different purpose, which was to try to censor this ad. That backfired in all sorts of ways, and it sounds like YouTube told UMG to knock it off, knowing that this was not the intention of the agreement at all. And, for what it's worth, UMG has stopped getting the video blocked, and says it will allow it to stay up for now.
This situation is messy and silly, but it seems like an unintended result of contract language over Vevo that UMG exploited. It may be legal, but in the end, it was pretty dumb by UMG. This whole thing, in true Streisand Effect fashion, actually drove a lot more attention to the ad. And even if it was legal, it sure makes UMG look petty and vindictive.
Update: Received a response from a YouTube spokesperson which makes this a little more interesting.
Our partners do not have broad take-down rights to remove anything they don�t like from our service. In limited cases, if they so choose, and based on exclusive agreements with their artists, partners can take down live performances.That confirms some of what I thought: that UMG does not have the right to take down any videos (as people keep implying), but that it may be able to take down some videos. The new bit of info is that it's just live performances. So, that would suggest UMG is even slimier. They tried to claim that those video clips of artists in the MegaUpload song were "live performances." That's clearly bogus.
Update 2: And... MegaUpload has conceded that its restraining order request is moot, and so the judge has denied it (pdf), while giving the company the right to file for a preliminary injunction and for discovery. So, not much of anything, but the case will likely continue.

Running machines are more commonly known as treadmills and are the UK's most popular cardiovascular equipment types, treadmills are very easy to use and offer all round exercise.

Hand grips on the side of the machine or at the front will let you balance yourself should you feel a little unsteady or become tired. All machines come with a warranty and service contract as standard should you have any reason to need a service or spare part.
The larger the motor inside the running machine, the more power the treadmill will have, a treadmills power is measured in watts, the higher the watts the more powerful, if you are heavier you will need a larger motor than someone lighter, consider a cheap treadmill.
The faster you walk or run on your running machine the larger motor you will need. Treadmills have a quoted maximum speed. If your just starting to get fit, a running machine with a quoted maximum capacity of 12 km kilometres an hour, approx 7.5 miles per hour, is required.
For athletes and sportsmen, 14kph to 16kph will be required, if training for sport then up to 18 kph will be required. The gym machines running area is made up of a moving belt, the standard belt is ideal for most walkers or runners and is 18 inches in width and up to 54 inches in length.

It is advised that you monitor your heart rate to insure that you exercise within 70 or 80 percent of your maximum at work heart rate, this applies to both expensive and cheap treadmills. Running machines contain a built-in computer which has exercise programmes built-in which allow you to have a planned exercise routine, designed around your weight, level of fitness, distance you want to walk or run and length of time you wish to exercise.
Gym machines have many different programmes built-in to give multiple different exercise routines including different inclinations or hills so you don't get bored with your exercise plan.
Typical gym machines have exercise programmes including speed building, rolling hills, alpine pass, 400km laps, track events (look at lifestyle running machine) and 5km loops, as well as more sedate walking and running, or even constant speed programmes.
Running machines have these standard programmes built-in to add interest and challenge to your exercise plan. A pre-programmed exercise routine will help to push you further and so increase your overall level of fitness. A more aerobic workout can be easily achieved by adjusting the inclination and speed of fitness machines to simulate hills and valleys, providing a more enjoyable and formidable workout.
All treadmills for sale contain shock proofing to reduce the strain on your leg joints and muscles, there's much less chance of a stress injury on a running machine than there is on the pavement.

Wind, rain, snow or sunshine, with England's inclement weather its no wonder that treadmills are so popular. With a heart rate monitor and heart rate tracking programmes you can safely train (see lifestyle running machine) and monitor your condition.
We all work all day and there is rarely time for exercise especially when it is dark outside, early or late or we are just saving money on gym fees, with running machines you can exercise when and where you want.
If your feeling tired just slow down your running machine workout, if your feeling full of energy, then simply select a faster pace programme. The built-in display on most running machines will track your speed, distance, time, calories burnt and energy used, so it's easy to measure your progress. Customise the programmes to your own level of fitness.
With a running machine at home you are more likely to exercise more as the running machine is available any time you are. No matter what age you are from the young to the more senior member of the family, running treadmill machines are an excellent way to get and stay fit.
It's easy to store a folding treadmill, just unlock the deck at the side of the treadmill and pull the running deck upwards, it's a bit like opening a car boot, the deck locks in an upright position so it's nice and safe and then you can unlock the running deck and lower it to the floor when you are ready to exercise again.
Easy storage treadmills are suitable for all runners and walkers with a maximum body weight of 19 stone or 120kg so whatever your weight you can take advantage of an easy store treadmill.

With a large running deck, you won't fall or slip off the treadmill and there's a heart rate sensor in the treadmill handlebars that displays your heart rate and distance travelled, time taken, power in watts, calories burned and time remaining.
There's an emergency stop button that is red and nice and big and will stop the treadmill immediately if you get into difficulties as well as an emergency stop key, you can put the key cord around your wrist if you wish and then if you fall off or lose your balance the cord will get pulled and the treadmill emergency stop will be activated, it's an added safety feature that depending on your comfort level with treadmills you might find useful.
With a folding treadmill it won't take up any space when your not using it (see lifestyle running machine) and its lovely good looks won't look out of place in your home, the digital display is a joy to look at with simple touch buttons and easy to follow diagrams on the console.
The actual digital display colours are typically dark orange digits on a black background with a pale blue border, the colour choices make the display very easy to read even if your bobbing up and down running or have poor eyesight.
There's plenty of space on the console for holding your mp3 players, phones, towels and drinks. Like running up hills or using professionally designed exercise programmes then you won't be disappointed with the number of built in exercise programmes.
Do you get aching joints after running, that's due to the impact damage caused while you run, choose with a cushioned running deck you can reduce the impact caused by running by up to 15%, saving you running injuries and joint pain.
Treadmills are so easy to use, whether you exercise everyday and are a gym bunny or exercise once a week, use the running machine all the time and if you have the room you can leave it unfolded, use it occasionally and you can fold the treadmill up after every use, it's simply a matter of unlocking the treadmill and pushing the treadmill deck into the upright position, the treadmill deck slides effortlessly into and out of the upright position so it won't cause you any folding or unfolding problems.
You can even put a space saving treadmill under the bed, they are really small when folded, but don't let their folded size convince you that it is somehow a low specification treadmill or that it is not tough and up to the job of a hard pounding as you run, space saving treadmills have a powerful electric motor and can support a runner with a high body weight.
If you find running uphill fun or even walking uphill you can set an incline on the treadmill and run or walk uphill, the entire running deck lifts upwards and locks in an upright position and therefore takes up far less room in your home, you can store the treadmill against a wall or out of the way somewhere and just lower the treadmill running deck when required.

Don't worry that you might not be able to lift the running deck up into the upright position as folding treadmills have a hydraulic system which means it's easy to open and close.
Folding treadmills typically have a top speed of 18 kph or 12 miles per hour so are really fun if your looking to run fast, of course the speed is fully controllable by a digital display so you can choose just how fast or slow you want to run or walk.
With a very large treadmill belt you dont have to be worried about falling off the treadmill, your find large treadmills are steady and easy to run on especially for the younger or older treadmill enthusiasts who might feel less steady on a running machine.
There's a range of different workout options on folding treadmills including heart rate control exercise programs that monitor your heart rate through pulse rate sensors in the handlebars (check lifestyle running machine) and automatically adjust.
You can easily adjust the speed making the treadmill faster or slower whilst you are walking or running and you can also set the incline whilst you are walking/running, creating the effect of going uphill with the choice from flat or gentle inclines to steep 12% inclines (where every one step forward causes the incline of the hill to increase by 12 steps).
The computer console is easy to use and provides automatic display (without having to set anything up) of time taken to exercise so far, the distance you have walked or run, the speed with which you walked or run, the amount of energy you have used whilst exercising (this is measured in watts), and is great for comparing your effort level to say that of a light bulb, are you exercising hard enough to power a 50 watt or 100 watt light bulb.
The computer display also measures the incline of any hill you have selected on your exercise program, you heart rate is measured (by measuring your pulse using a pulse sensor built into the handlebars).
There's different exercise programmes from heart rate programs to fat burning, there's even programmes that will keep your heart rate constant, making the exercise easier or harder to maintain a constant heart rate.
Foldable treadmills are great for the home, when when you have finished exercising you can simply fold the treadmill up where the running deck folds upwards making the treadmill easy to store behind furniture, in the hall or in the garage, and just to make things easier there's transport wheels that allow the treadmill to be easily moved around your home when folded, great for using the treadmill in one room and storing it in another.
With high maximum user weights of up to 24 stone (150 kg / 330 lbs), so even if you're a larger man or women these treadmills will enable you to exercise and prevent muscle and joint pain and damage thanks to the orthopaedic running deck.

Help!! Smell coming from vents!!
bonnialisa Posts: 1
edited March 2014 in Chevrolet
I have a 2001 Chevy Cavalier with 14K miles on it. Recently I have noticed a smell when I turn on the vent or AC (not sure about heating as it is warm outside). The smell is sort of like, for lack of a better description, dead animal, must and cat urine. I tried an air freshener, but that is not helping.
It is getting to the point where I don't even want to drive it, and I certainly do not want to have any one ride with me because it is embarrassing.
I have to take it in to be inspected in September, but I am hesitant to mention it as I am afraid that it will not be covered, and it will cost me a fortune to have the mechanic disassemble the whole dash and try to find the problem.
I wonder if this smell contains chemicals or bacteria, and that is why I keep getting respiratory infections.
Is this something that I covered in a Lease Warranty or would I have to pay for it myself??
Please help.. I am beginning to HATE driving my car!!

you should get to www.atmosklear.com and see if you want to try their excellent odor killer. if it is critter pee, a heavy spray of that stuff into the intake vents while running the fan full-bore in all hvac modes with the windows open should do wonders. if it is a plugged drain and/or lint and fizz on the heater or a/c coils breeding bacteria and mold, the problem will come back in a few days, and you'll know you face an extensive tear-down of the systems to take those coils out and clean 'em.
GM parts is supposedly going to be distributing this stuff through dealer parts operations, check that out as well.

encheritto Posts: 1I have the same year of cavalier as you and my a/c does the same thing especially when I just have the vents on w/o the ac on. I took it back to where I bought it and they sprayed some kind of stuff in the vents and some other places and it went away for about 2 weeks but its already back. I notice it the most in the morning but after it runs for a few min it goes away so it doesnt really bother me that much anymore so I guess that deoderizer/antibacterial spary did something. But before they did this for me they suggested spraying som lysol in the vents an where the air gets sucked in above the hood, so you might want to try that.0
to shake all the dead little woodsy creatures out.0
isseyvoo Posts: 121When my Cav. was new (long ago in '92), the same thing happened every time I used the fan at a high speed. Though they never told me where it was originating, the dealer would "cure" it, but the fix would only last a couple weeks. Finally, they must have done something different on the 4th try, because it hasn't recurred since. It was all covered under warranty.0
if you pulled the fan motor and cage (assuming your car designer didn't work in a rubber room, and that can be done with a hex socket in three minutes from under the hood)... and if you took a springy 3 or 4 finger "screw retriever" tool... and if you pushed that into the ductwork under the air intake cowl until you brushed something, and then clamped down and pulled it out... maybe, just maybe, it would be a little dried-up mousie and your problems would be over.
unless under the half-rotten elm seeds and leaves, there was another....0
lemko Philadelphia, PAPosts: 15,306...a friend of mine has a 1998 Corvette which he keeps stored in the garage. One day he turned on the A/C and got a blast of the foulest stench imaginable. He took the 'Vette to the Chevrolet dealer and it turned out to be dry dog food that mice were taking from a 50 lb. bag stored nearby, carrying to the car, and depositing it in the HVAC ducts. From what he told me, the HVAC ducts were nearly 1/4 full of kibble. The repair wasn't cheap.0
greener98 Posts: 1A girl a used to work with had a 97 (I think) Cavalier that had the ac smell problem, she had been very sick for several months, eventualy found out that rainwater got in and grew a strange mold in vent system. She found out that prevous owner had been in hospital for same problem. I believe she got GM to buy the car back eventualy.0
there are a few molds that insurance companies hate to hear about, members of aspergillus and stachrobotyris families, that are very bad news producers of toxins. they are why household insurance companies are raising rates a couple hundred percent, along with floods and such. mold damage is killing them.
I'm surprised that she got GM to buy the car back.0
Most air condition systems collect moisture on the evaporator located in the cowl, glove box area. The evaporator operates very cold and has a fan to transfer the cool air into the cabin area. Water condensation will collect on the evaporator and is suppose to drain onto the road below. Keep the drain clear of any leaves and stuff. Also, before storing the car, run the blower fan without the a/c compressor for ten minutes to dry out the evaporator fins so mold won't have any water to thrive. And most a/c systems fail due to this moisture settling on the aluminum fins causing them to corode. This corosion then makes a R-134a freon pin hole leak . If there was a way to run the blower only after we park the car for ten minutes to dry it, it would last forever and make ever a/c repair shop belly-up.0
if the idiot engineers would put a cabin air filter in all cars... AHEAD OF THE COILS where it belongs... we would never have any more of these discussions. if somebody ended up with a stink, open the hood, open the hatch, pull the filter and the dead critters would fall out, then put in a new filter. fixed for 20 bucks.
/ -rant /0
No need for a micro-filter to prevent leaves to enter the cowl area. A screen where the wiper arms are attached is enough and is currently implemented. Don't demand the auto makers to spend any more ducats than they have to. We don't want to cut into their bonus.0
and the dandelion tufts that float around. all that crud plates out on the fins of the evaporator and plugs it, trapping water, starting rot, stink, and corrosion. similar issues with the heater core. take a couple out and you will see.
I am right and everybody else is wrong :-D tremble and obey, bwah ha ha ha ha
/// slap \\\
ooh, sorry.0
Sorry, swschrad, you may have dandelion where you are, but here in Hawaii we have none. Just boring, clean air here year around. Nothing new. See ya soon:)0
one of these fine days, as soon as my telco stocks recover and join my russian bank and lebanese hotel stocks in posting handsome returns, I will indeed come to Hawaii for rest and repose.
meantime, it's getting cold, the leaves are turning, and we are being pestered by the "sewer flies", some sort of dung fly that comes through the pipe traps occasinally to flit about the apartment.0
Happycar says happysurfing. Sorry about your stocks. I'm hardheaded and stayed with bonds even during the heydays of the 1999 stock market rally when they doubled in price daily. Yep, everybody laughed at me back then. They said,"Only five percent interest?" Rightlane investing for me. You can have the leftlane, brother. Have to go, this is not a investing message board. P.S. What is a dandelion?0
they rise grandly above the grass, flower in about half-inch long petals, randomly organized, some hundreds of them surrounding a sticky center of about a quarter-inch diameter. until the seeds mature. then the petals dry up to fluff, the first wind or disturbance kicks loose hundreds of seeds with parasails that float for long distances in the wind of even a butterfly, to root and grow.
they'll suck up a lawn or garden in a year, crowd everything else out, and they root deep and hard. dandelions produce rubber in their sap, and practically nothing eats 'em.
many are the kids who are lured into the world of work first with, "hey, I'll pay a dollar for every bag of dandelions you pick!" by frustrated parents. I wager that nobody has ever filled the second shopping bag.
dandelions are why 2,4-D is a billion dollar business. you by God don't want 'em in the islands, brown tree snakes are better for you0

Normal 0 The agent for Miami-born singer Sean Kingston says the singer walked for the first time Monday and is breathing on his own following last week's jet ski accident.
Joseph Carozza says the 21-year-old "Beautiful Girls" singer is in serious condition at Jackson Memorial Hospital. Last week Kingston was listed in critical condition after crashing his jet ski into a Miami Beach bridge.
Kingston and a female passenger were injured when their Sea Doo struck the bridge connecting Palm Island with the MacArthur Causeway at approximately 6 p.m. on May 29th, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation spokesman Jorge Pino said.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Pino said both the singer and his passenger were pulled from the water by a helpful boater.
Both were taken to Ryder Trauma Center.
"Sean thanks his friends, family, and fans for their outpouring of prayers and well wishes," a statement issued Monday by Carozza read.

The Roberto Cavalli has one of the fanciest bottles I've seen, it's made out of a thick glass that gives off a lovely golden reflective glow. The main notes are orange blossom with a base of vanilla, the vanilla was more prevalent to me. It can start off a bit sweet but that quickly subdues down into a wearable sophisticated scent. I did manage to get the 30ml for around £20-£30 after Christmas last year, however the 50ml is currently for £48, and the 30ml for £35. I like to wear this as a daytime fragrance as it lasts the whole day, it's like when someone walks past you and you get a subtle waft of their perfume and it leaves you wondering for the rest of the day what perfume it was. I recently repurchased this for £20!
Lastly, I had to make a quick mention to the Body Shop Vanilla Body Mist. I love using this as a base to other perfumes as the vanilla seems to compliment everything so well. It's also lovely on it's own, I could literally apply it everywhere, on my clothes, bedding, the list goes on! I also brought a roll on from the Body Shop which was similar to this, and that's just as good for on the go.

The movie "Nebraska" is up for six Oscars at Sunday night's Academy Awards. But my home state of Nebraska is, and has always been, a big winner when it comes to mining Hollywood's most precious gold.
The movie "Nebraska" is up for six Oscars at Sunday night's Academy Awards. But my home state of Nebraska is, and has always been, a big winner when it comes to mining Hollywood's most precious gold. It can even boast ownership of native son Johnny Carson, the greatest Oscar host of all time.
As for winners, eight Nebraska-born actors have collected statuettes over the years, including two two-time winners: the late, great Marlon Brando ("On the Waterfront" and "The Godfather") and Hilary Swank ("Boys Don't Cry" and "Million Dollar Baby"). "Nebraska" helmer Alexander Payne also has two, both for writing ("Sideways" and "The Descendants"), and is in contention for a third with his Best Director nomination this year.
Pretty impressive for one of the nation's least-populated states, especially when you consider these children of the corn also include some of Hollywood's brightest stars in the likes of Henry Fonda ("On Golden Pond"), James Coburn ("Affliction"), Sandy Dennis ("Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf") and that dancing dynamo Fred Astaire (lifetime achievement).
And that's not counting Bennington's Paul Williams, who co-wrote one of the most immortal Best Songs, "Evergreen," with Brooklyn's Barbra Streisand, a two-time Oscar winner herself. Who says there's no harmony between the Midwest and the East Coast? The pair shattered that cultural barrier with "one love that is shared by two." Even the list of Nebraska-born nominees who've lost is sterling, led by Brando with a total of six unsuccessful nods ("Last Tango in Paris," "A Dry White Season," "A Streetcar Named Desire," "Sayonara," "Julius Caesar" and "Viva Zapata") to go with his two wins. A distant second is Omaha-born Montgomery Clift with four ("The Search," "A Place in the Sun," "From Here to Eternity" and "Judgment at Nuremberg"); and fellow Omahan Nick Nolte with three ("Warrior," "Prince of Tides" (directed by Streisand) and "Affliction," in which he co-starred with fellow Nebraskan Coburn, who took home the trophy for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Nolte's alcoholic father.
And let's not forget Omaha's Dorothy McGuire, a close friend of Fonda's, who picked up a richly deserved nomination for playing Gregory Peck's fretting wife in the groundbreaking "Gentleman's Agreement." And let out a big wah hoo for Wahoo's Darryl F. Zanuck, who picked up his lone nomination for producing Best Picture nominee "The Longest Day."
Now the attention turns to the present, with "Nebraska" the movie looking to add to the state's disproportionate riches by six, including Best Picture. The acerbic black-and-white comedy's other nominees include Best Actor Bruce Dern, Best Supporting Actress June Squibb, writer Bob Nelson, cinematographer Phedon Papamichael, and last, but not least, Payne, who likes to call his native Omaha "the Paris of the Midwest." And considering the state's immense contributions to cinema, who's to argue?

"Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close," the adaptation of Jonathan Safran Foer's post-9/11 novel, has been turned into a feature film starring Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock, and directed by Stephen Daldry. Throw in a Christmas Day release and you've got a film that wears its Oscar ambitions on its sleeve, and the new trailer is teeming with the appropriate middle-brow self-importance.
"Extremely" tells thew story of a 9-year-old boy (Thomas Horn) who loses his father (Hanks) on 9/11, and subsequently finds a key his dad left behind, which he takes as a clue to lead hm on a city-wide scavenger hunt for a secret message.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
The entire premise feels cringingly contrived, and the trailer is brimming with naked double-entendres that are blatantly obvious. But Daldry can't help but drive them home with a sledgehammer, as in this exchange between the boy and his father:
Son: "If things were easy to find..."
Dad: "They wouldn't be worth finding."
And in case you somehow missed the depth of the exchange, Hanks, upon delivering his line, turns his gaze directly to the camera to give thew viewer a look that says, "Did you catch that?" Ugh.

1. University of Texas at Austin
The University of Texas at Austin has a lot of things going for it: its proximity to Austin, itself the home of a bustling startup scene; its connection to South by Southwest, a big-name technology and ideas conference; one of the country's top engineering programs; and a number of notable alumni, including Neil deGrasse Tyson and Dell founder and CEO Michael Dell (though Dell never finished, dropping out in 1984 to sell computers).
2. University of Toronto
The University of Toronto is home to Geoffrey Hinton, a distinguished emeritus professor of computer science who, as the Toronto Star put it, is the "godfather of a type of artificial intelligence currently shattering every ceiling in machine learning." He also works part-time at Google, which recently spent $400 million on the purchase of an artificial intelligence company, as a "distinguished researcher."
3. Rochester Institute of Technology
U.S. News and World Report ranked RIT eighth on its 2015 list of Best Regional Universities (North), and it also offers a plethora of interesting programs, including video game design and imaging science majors. RIT is also well-known for its career-oriented approach to learning: Its large co-op program partners with over 1,900 employers worldwide to give students real-world work experience before they're actually out there in it.
4. Georgia Institute of Technology
With one of the best engineering programs in the country, including top 10 spots in every engineering category according to U.S. News & World Report, Georgia Tech is renowned as a top destination for tech whizzes. But it's also home to the Georgia Institute of Technology Cooperative Division and the Graduate Cooperative Education Program, two large influential programs that place students in real-world working environments.
5. Delft University of Technology
Located in Delft, Netherlands, the city's namesake university is the biggest and oldest university of technology in the country. It's also the incubator for a number of rad projects, like Denise, a robot with the ability to walk like a human, and Nuna, a solar-powered race car that won the World Solar Challenge four times in a row in the 2000s.
6. Imperial College London
U.S. World News & Report placed Imperial College London twelfth on its list of top global universities, and the Times Higher Education World University Rankings ranked it sixth in the world for engineering and technology, alongside titans like Stanford University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Princeton University. Meanwhile, according to the New York Times, recruiters from high-ranking companies in 20 countries put it ninth on its graduate employability list.
Even Prince Harry is a fan: He helped open its Center for Blast Injury Studies, a cutting edge program that studiescombat-related injuries.
7. Worcester Polytechnic Institute
Counting among its alumni Robert H. Goddard, the creator of the first rocket powered by liquid fuel, Paul Allaire, the former CEO and chairman of Xerox, and Gilbert Vernam, an early pioneer of cryptography, WPI in Massachusetts is also known for its propensity to churn out cash-friendly graduates — Bloomberg Businessweeknamed it one of its top 20 schools for return on investment in 2012.
8. Technion-Israel Institute of Technology
Israel is home to one of the best and brightest startup scenes on the planet, and its top university is just as formidable. Bloomberg Businessweek included it — the only non-U.S. entry — on a list of "Top 10 Colleges for Tech CEOs," and in 2012, it partnered with Cornell University to build a new engineering and applied science school on New York City's Roosevelt Island.
9. Montana State University
In 2012, the school's Advanced Technology Park got a makeover, including a new name — the Montana State University Innovation Campus — and a new director, Teresa McKnight, who envisions it as a go-between for research and the private sector. In 2015, it has a variety of fields to its name — optics, biotechnology, agriculture, information technology — as well as number of projects, like the Center for Bio-inspired Nanomaterials and the Thermal Biology Institute.
10. University of California, Berkeley
Network World reported in 2012 that UC Berkeley was a friendly home indeed for people who want to be the heads of massive tech conglomerates: "Among the 81 degrees obtained by top tech CEOs, Berkeley represents five of them," beating out Stanford, the site said. Despite its reputation as a hippie wonderland, it also has some pretty badass tech ventures to its name. (Oh, and it's also home to 51 Nobel Laureates, 22 of whom are or were faculty.)
11. University of Melbourne
In the 1960s, Graeme Clark, a researcher at the school's Center for Neural Engineering, began to study the field of cochlear implants. In the 1970s, he and his colleagues developed the world's first bionic ear — a device that would later be implanted in more than 300,000 patients with hearing problems. Clark isn't done yet, however, despite being your grandfather's age: In an interview with the Sydney Morning Herald in July, he described excitement over his new projects, which "could help with treatment of paraplegics, epileptics and ... the bionic eye implant."
12. Harvey Mudd College
It may be the most expensive college in America, but the California institution also recently came out on top in the undergraduate engineering game: U.S. News & World Report awarded it first place on its 2015 list. It's also making strides to improve diversity within STEM fields, despite a few missteps along the way.

PhpPeanuts is an open source MVC framework for developing database-backed applications in PHP. It supports high and sustainable developer productivity by adaptive components and reduces project risk by rapid prototyping.
With phpPeanuts you do not build an application from the bottom up. Initially you only build domain model classes in PHP in which you specify properties, relationships and database table names in meta data. The framework will then dynamically scaffold getters and setters, persistency, navigation over relations, input and delete validation. On top of that the abstract user interface instantly offers a rich set of pages for searching, browsing, drilling down, edting and reporting over your domain model.
Once you got that working you extend and refine both the domain model and the user interface step by step to make it more and more like you want it to be. As far as it is not overridden the scaffolded and abstract components will adapt dynamically to your changes and extensions. This allows you to start with the simpelest thing that could possibly work for your application, and refactor later if the need arises, without losing much productivity. The eXtreme Programming way.
Though phpPeanuts has been available since 2004 it is still considered light wheight and at the same time a next step in web development. But is is not simple.

There are numerous end user or administrator user web UIs for LiveCycle Enterprise suite :
- Correspondence Management Solution
- Forms Manager
- Workspace (Flex & HTML)
- Reader Extensions
- Rights Management
- Process Reporting
An administrator works with many of these web UIs and it is little difficult for administrator to remember the URLs for all these applications and prior to ES4 SP1 there was no single place for a specific user to see what all LC applications that particular user has access to.
In LiveCycle ES4 SP1 we have introduced LiveCycle Home or LiveCycle landing page – which is a single page that displays all the applications that any specific logged in user has access to and can launch those applications from that landing page, SSO is integrated so that the user is not challenged to provide username/password after the first login.
LiveCycle Home sample image :
One can log on to LiveCycle Home by hitting any of the following URLs :
- http://servernameoripaddress:serverport/lc
- http://servernameoripaddress:serverport/lc/home
- http://servernameoripaddress:serverport/lc/welcome
This page can also be customized to add URLs to any other applications that are integrated with LiveCycle
There are some self service options for learning (links to help resources) , LiveCycle Communities (Forums & blogs) , TroubleShooting (System Info Service) and link to support (to raise any product issues or contact support for help)
Note : This functionality will be available to only those users of LiveCycle who use CRX based components like Forms Manager or Correspondence Manager.
For more information about LiveCycle Home go through documentation on Adobe's help

And this blast of cold air continues...........hope everyone is warm and safe and not braving the elements. Wind chills are brutal today....just about everywhere I'm thinking. My list of "Things
to Do" has shifted to another day. Thinking about something warm and hearty for dinner when the hubby gets home! My motivation is missing in action at this point! Please tell me I'm not the only one! Before I crawl from between the sheets I mentally make my list. Once my feet hit the floor, it's another story!!
Woke up a 5 a.m. with a pounding headache. Took some aspirin and grabbed a book to read for a couple of hours. Went back to bed at 7 a.m. and the phone woke me up at 10 a.m. Shame on me.............but it was so nice!!! I very rarely do this, but find that since I have retired my feelings of "guilt" are less when I do decide to do something out of the ordinary!
Stay safe and warm!!

Boston gangster Bulger transferred to Oklahoma
BOSTON >> Former Boston crime boss James "Whitey" Bulger has been moved to a federal prison in Oklahoma, although it was not immediately clear when or why.
The 84-year-old Bulger was being held Tuesday at FTC Oklahoma City, according to the federal Bureau of Prisons website. The facility is a transfer point for many federal prisoners.
Prosecutors in Tulsa, Okla., have been deciding whether to move forward with a murder case against Bulger in the 1981 killing of businessman Roger Wheeler. Bulger was convicted by a federal jury in Boston earlier this year of killing Wheeler and 10 others. He was sentenced to two life terms.
Bulger is charged with first-degree murder in Tulsa. Last month, Tulsa County District Attorney Tim Harris told the Tulsa World that prosecutors would take into consideration Bulger's federal sentence as they decide whether to try him.
Wheeler's daughter, Pam, has said she didn't want Bulger extradited to Tulsa, saying it would be a waste of taxpayer money.
"It took this long to come to a partial resolution. Just let it end there," she told the Tulsa World in August.
Federal prosecutors in Boston did not immediately return a message seeking comment. Calls to the Oklahoma prison rang unanswered Tuesday.
Bulger was moved out of Massachusetts to a federal prison Brooklyn, N.Y. in November.
A federal judge in Boston last week ordered Bulger to pay $6 million in restitution to Wheeler's family. The mobster previously was ordered to pay $19.5 million in restitution to his other victims' families and forfeit $25 million to the government.
Investigators found $822,000 in cash stashed in his apartment walls when he was caught in Santa Monica, Calif., after more than 16 years on the run.

The top U.S. diplomat for East Asia and the Pacific, Kurt Campbell,
said despite enduring strategic and political interests in the region
dating from before World War II, Washington has reduced diplomatic
missions there and assistance over the past 20 years.
As part of efforts to reverse that trend as the Obama
administration steps up engagement across the Asia-Pacific, the U.S.
Agency for International Development will open a regional office in
Papua New Guinea this year to administer a $21 million grant to help
islands cope with the effects of climate change.
Campbell described low-lying atolls in the Pacific as the "canary in
the coal mine" for climate change.
Read the entire article here
Or maybe the new "regional office" will use the money to cope with this "effect" of "climate change" ?:
"200 new species found in Papua New Guinea"
With the rate at which new species are being found and extinct species are being rediscovered and with unknown marine species being estimated to be between 1 and 10 million and micro-organism species thought to be in excess of one billion, I am beginning to wonder if humans are not soon going to be crowded off the planet.
From Reuters today: Some 200 news species of animals and plants, including an orange spider, a jabbing spiny-legged katydid (bush cricket) and a minute long-nosed frog, have been discovered in Papua New Guinea's remote jungle-clad mountains. A team of international scientists made the discoveries during a two-month expedition in the remote Nakanai and Muller mountains in 2009, Conservation International said on Wednesday. In the Nakanai mountains on New Britain island, the team found 24 new species of frogs, two new mammals, nine new species of plants, nearly 100 new insects including damselflies, katydids and ants, and approximately 100 new spiders.

Just read Bud's message and am sorry that you can't hook up with your sister. Are you planning on stopping in Effingham on the way back with us? Also, I sent Tom a message about where we would stay on the second day. I seriously doubt that I can drive from Effingham to Denver in one leg, so I expect that we would stop somewhere in Kansas or KC. Have you and Tom decided this yet?
MAMW, according to their catalog, is open Mon - Sat from 8am to 5 pm.
My cell phone (Verizon) is 303-910-0196.
Scott, good t see you and Claudia yesterday, even under the sad circumstances. I tried to enter the RMCSC site for members only and again was rebuffed. I entered my user name, firstname.lastname@example.com and used the password corvettesrus - did not allow me entry. What is the correct way to enter or can you direct me to someone who can help? BTW, I have asked that you become a friend, if you think it would not upset you too much.
Rik is putting the "new" motor into it as we speak (type). Should have it back soon and I can't wait. I need my Hi Mileage car back.
Scott, have you got the Vette running again? Just wondering what the status is. Hope to see you guys sometime in the near future.

May 16, 2010 by Lifepainter
On the return route home from our Mother's Day drive to Cathlamet and Puget Island last weekend, we stopped at an Antique Shop we have bypassed on our several trips south. The house and location was a dairy farm, per the owner, and now that they are not farming, they rearranged the space into a home-owned antique shop. I got to browse the shop finding several items on my mental 'must have' list. But my mental list and our pocketbook are often not in agreement, so I did what I typically do – fill the shopping cart in my head until it is time to check out. Then I decide on what item(s) are an absolute must – may not be there when I come back someday. My pick for today were a set of oversized blue Ball mason jars. That was a must. And a small extra tidbit purchase was the tea cup and saucer.
