(BALTIMORE SUN) — Why did Baltimore need to pay outside consultants half a million dollars for a report that says the city's financial future is grim?
Some city residents wondered as much after Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake called for a new trash collection fee, a smaller city workforce and cuts to employee benefits as a way to deal with the projected $750 million, 10-year budget shortfall the consultants projected. For a city as financially strapped as Baltimore, couldn't that work have been done in house?
The answer, according to city budget director Andrew Kleine, is no.

Though the city's finance department makes three-year projections, it lacked both the manpower and the skill set to make long-term actuarial projections and propose reforms, Kleine said. Many of the more than 100 proposed reforms will be detailed Wednesday when Rawlings-Blake releases the full report, officials said.

Forty years after the brief, meteoric transit of Jimi Hendrix as a concert and recording artist, his impact still resembles the explosive crash of some unexpected visitation from outer space – or perhaps, more appropriately, an avatar of a higher power, who didn't merely play the guitar but plucked the raw sinews of the heart and soul, and bent the superstings of time and space.
Devotees do tend to speak of him in religious terms. As Gary Kamiya wrote for Salon.com: "There''s only one church in rock: the First Congregational Church of the Guitar. And Jimi Hendrix owns that turf. There are a lot of ways you can become a rock legend, but the best way is the simplest: play the guitar better than anyone else. And Jimi didn''t just shut everybody else down, he burned them alive, toasted them, left a whole Gibson nation gaping with this dumbfounded look on their faces and the axes falling from their lifeless fingers. He Michael Jordaned their hapless asses, and they thanked him for the honor."
A Church of Jimi Hendrix actually used to exist in San Francisco, and there's still a Hendrix Internet newsgroup called the "Electric Sky Church," after Jimi's own description of his music. When English guitarist Robin Trower emerged from Procol Harum in the 70s with a new Hendrix-drenched sound, he quickly learned that to the particularly worshipful any evocation of the Hendrix sound was considered not merely presumptuous, but a sacrilege. His perplexed response was something along the lines of, "Whom should I be influenced by, if not the best?"
The congregation of Hendrix devotees is still world-wide and growing, and nowhere is the veneration more open and persistent than in Europe, where Swedish acolytes recently celebrated the 40th anniversary of the "Electric Ladyland" recording with a tribute concert tour performed on vintage equipment and recorded for Swedish radio.
The principal organizer of the event was guitarist Stefan Edfeldt, whose band, Ducks Can Groove, (the name comes from a line in "Rainy Day, Dream Away") plays Hendrix songs exclusively, both in concert and on their CD "Electric Voodoo Vibe."
Edfeldt and several of his fellow Hendrix fanatics are also in the midst of a "Jimi in Sweden" project that will produce a coffee table book documenting Hendrix's time in Sweden, where he played more than 30 shows.
Edfelt was born in May 1970, "the same night Jimi played a concert at Will Rogers Coliseum in Fort Worth Texas," to be exact. But he wasn't exposed to Hendrix music until 14 years later: "My sister's boyfriend at that time played the 'Live at Monterey' vinyl ALL THE TIME in my sister's room!! And I just couldn''t get it: To me it was nothing but a noisy racket.
"But since he kept on playing that same album over and over again, it began — totally unexpectedly — to be interesting after some time. There was something there that I actually could relate to. I think I needed that explosive relief that I got from listening to him. So I got stuck and bought more albums, and of course picked up a guitar for the first time ever. At 15 I got my first guitar, and it''s been downhill ever since."
Soon Stefan's interest expanded from listening to and imitating Jimi's "mysterious tones" to a quest worthy of an academic historian: "I started putting ads in various papers, mostly in free classified sections, asking for people with pictures, tapes, films and gear connected to Jimi. I figured that guys and gals with Jimi-stuff would have gotten other interests in life, like sailing, golf, etc., so I targeted any type of magazines that had free ad sections."
After a few years, this activity drew the attention of others with the same interests: "I was contacted by the other two Swedish nuts in this 'Jimi In Sweden' book project. We hooked up and found out we had the same outlook on Jimi and on life in general. This must be something like 12 years ago. Since then we''ve made so many trips all across Scandinavia, interviewing people and meeting many photographers, and we''ve had a lot of fun. Logically, the book should have been finished by now, but new stuff still keeps cropping up."
The performance side of Stefan's Hendrix fixation has been similarly dedicated and systematic. "I''ve spent many, many hours listening to live recordings (mostly bootlegs) analyzing different sounds and versions of each songs," he says. "It''s so fascinating how he changed the song's arrangements and pace from night to night on tour. Some nights he was in a great mood and could play fluidly, with amazing timing, and some other night you can hear him struggling with lack of inspiration and equipment hang-ups."
With Ducks Can Groove, Stefan strives for authenticity, playing on vintage Stratocasters, as well as the same vintage model Flying V that Hendrix played in some of his Sweden gigs. And even though there are now modestly priced modules with presets that digitally recreate Jimi's most famous timbres, Stefan is sticking to period equipment. "I started out with a 50-watt Marshall from the '60s, but I didn''t want to carry so many amps (like Jimi did) so I had to switch to a 100-watt model to reach the sound-level that would open up the sound and feedback without getting too-mushy distortion," he explains. "I agree with what Jimi said, about something happening with the air and vibrations once you go beyond a certain sound pressure.
"At that time the old plexi tops were beyond my means, but as the early '70s metal front models were identical inside, so I settled for a good sounding 1971 Marshall bass 100-watt top. I was also lucky enough to find two slanted cabinets with 30-watt Celestion Greenbacks. These two cabinets can take all the power from the Marshall without any problem whatsoever. Usually, I also use a THD Hotplate power brake to slightly reduce the volume, while still retaining the right type of power tube distortion.
"It''s of course a lot of fun to try and mimic Jimi''s setup when it comes to his gear, but a bit expensive if you go all the way with everything original vintage. I''ve tried to keep some balance in the madness, and I''m sure there are many new amps that can match this old '71 Marshall''s sound and distortions, but so far I haven''t come across any. So I''m very happy with this amp/speaker setup.
"Early on I found it interesting looking at pictures of Jimi playing live, trying to see what pedals he was using. So I found a nice Fuzz Face, wah and the Vibra-Chorus and realized that they sounded just awesome. One way I was able to save some money in this vintage quest was the fact that the Univibe pedals actually were sold with a different name over here in Scandinavia. They look exactly the same inside and out (except they lacked the speed-pedal), and they were called the Vibra-Chorus, and were made at the same factory by the same company as the Univibes. Turns out that many electronic accordion-players in Scandinavia used to use them to get a Leslie sound, so for a while you could pick up these Univibe originals for a low price. Same with the Fuzz Faces: I started early enough to look for them, so the prices hadn''t yet reached the rooftops."
"I used the Fulltone '69 fuzz for a long time (and used it on "Electric Voodoo
Vibe") and was very happy with it, until I found my latest vintage Fuzz Face that I absolutely love. It has such a great character, it's almost like it has a soul."

As you all know, less than 24 hours ago marked the beginning of the 2010/2011 NBA season where the opening day featured three games: the new look Miami Heat losing to the Eastern champs Boston Celtics, the Portland Trailblazers defeated the Phoenix Suns, and the defending champs Los Angeles Lakers rallying from a 15 point deficit to knock out the Houston Rockets.
In the most watched regular season game EVER on cable, the Boston Celtics hosted the Miami Heat in the first game of the season. Everybody was waiting to see the Miami Heat in action, rather the presence of MVP LeBron James and Chris Bosh alongside to Dwayne Wade. As usual, the TD Garden's crowd was merciless, shouting overrated everytime the Heat had the ball and booing LeBron James upon possesion. The Heat had one of the most sluggish and rusty first quarters in their history, scoring only 9 points in the first 12 minutes to trail the Celtics by 7. The second quarter started and the turnover party of the Miami Thrice, well basically James and Wade, kept on going on eventually helping the Celtics to gain a lead as much as 19 points and making Shaquille O'Neal looking younger than ever and Marquis Daniels play like a superstar, eventually ending the first half leading 45-30.
James started to make more of his shots, and slowly, he and Carlos Arroyo brought the Miami Heat back into the game, making the most anticipated game as interesting as it should be, with James scoring 15 of his 31 points in this quarter, with the Heat only trailing by six by the end of 3 quarters. However, Paul Pierce wouldn't let his Celtics fall, and made one of the biggest statements in the game by standing in James' way as he was running on the fast break, committing a blocking foul and making sure that the East champs are not ready to surrender their Eastern title yet. Pierce sat out a bit and came back in, knocked down two straight three pointers and drew a foul off a three point shot to kill the Heat, who were shooting abysmally throughout the game, starting with a miserable 23% in the first half and eventually only 37%, leaving the Celtics to hold off a late Heat charge and win the game 88-80. LeBron James had 31 points, yet 8 turnovers for the Heat, in addition to Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh having miserable games, with Wade's 13 points off 4 for 16 shooting and 6 turnovers and Chris Bosh scoring a measly 8 points. Ray Allen led the way for the Celtics with 20 points, getting help from Pierce (19 points, 9 rebounds) and an astonishing performance from Rajon Rondo (17 assists, most ever in an opening game). The Celtics fly to Cleveland to play the Cavaliers, while the Heat finish their first back-to-back in Philadelphia against their 76ers.
The opening night continued with another rematch of last year's playoffs, this time in Portland with the Phoenix Suns visiting the Trailblazers. As expected, the game started as a really close one, with no team being able to get in control, despite the fact that the Phoenix Suns were playing their first official game without Amare Stoudemire since losing him to the New York Knicks in free agency. The Blazers led by 2 at the end of the first quarter, and finished the first half up by 4 behind the good play of Brandon Roy and newcomer Wesley Matthews. The Phoenix Suns started the third quarter strong, behind Jason Richardson's excellent play, giving the Suns a ten point advantage in the third quarter and end up by 6. Pprtland came back from the dead in mid fourth, ending the game on an 18-1 run to win it all 106-92 behind Roy's 24 points, Nicholas Batum's 19 points and 11 rebounds, and Matthews' 13 points off the bench. Steve Nash had 26 points, 6 assists, but 9 turnovers for the Suns as well as 22 points from Richardson.
The night ended with a ring ceremony where the Los Angeles Lakers received their 2009-2010 championship rings and started their title defense with a tough game against the Houston Rockets, who were playing their first game with Yao Ming, who eventually played 23 minutes as planned, after an absence over a year. The Rockets started out strong in the first half, leading by as much as 11 by halftime (62-51). Then the Lakers stormed back, behind a collaborative performance, starting with Kobe Bryant ( 7 assists, 27 points, 11 on free throws) and Pau Gasol (29 points and 11 rebounds) and eventually Shannon Brown going off like a loose cannon after the Lakers trailed by as much as 15, scoring 11 of his 16 points in the fourth quarter, and eventually Lakers new acquistion Steve Blake putting the icing on the cake, scoring three 3 pointers, including the go ahead, to win the game 112-110. Houston Rockets were led by Kevin Martin's 26 points and Aaron Brooks' 24 points, while Yao Ming had 9 points and 11 rebounds.
TnT's Excellence of the Night: Paul Pierce (BOS, 17 points, 9 rebounds), Nicholas Batum (POR, 19 points, 11 rebounds), Shannon Brown (LAL, 16 points).
TnT's Must-NOT-See Players of the Night: Miami's bench, Dwayne Wade & Chris Bosh (44points on 15 for 49, 9 TOs)
TnT's Leaders of the Night: LeBron James (MIA, 31 points), Luis Scola (HOU, 16 rebounds), Rajon Rondo (BOS, 17 assists)

Here is an oddball news item, but it's legit. WWE NXT, a kind of talent-search/reality show featuring wrestlers looking to become the circuit's next new star, will now be taped at Full Sail University of Winter Park, Fla. Full Sail is recognizable to many video gamers as one of the main universities teaching game design in the U.S.
Full Sail just announced the series is coming to the school. The first event there will be on Thursday. WWE superstar Triple H will be on hand, and Alberto Del Rio will challenge Sheamus (pictured above being photographed by a 3DS) for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Also, Kofi Kingston and R-Truth face Epico and Primo for the tag team belts. So they're not screwing around with this kickoff.
WWE NXT pulled its talent pool from Florida Championship Wrestling, a development territory for the league. So that explains the Florida connection, but how this ended up at Full Sail is beyond me. WWE NXT appeared on SyFy in 2010 but was moved off the schedule to make room for WWE SmackDown. NXT has been syndicated since then; it also airs via webcast.

Entry requirements
1. Degree of Bachelor or equivalent.
2. The equivalent of English course B in Swedish secondary school.
Communication for Development is a half time study programme. The form of study is a combination of live seminars and communication on the web. The seminars (2-3 days) are compulsory and consist of lectures, discussions and workshops. For overseas students who cannot physically attend it is possible to follow the seminars on-line. In between the seminars the students carry out assignments individually and in groups.
Courses year one:
Media, Globalization and Development (15 credits)
Communication, Culture and Media Analysis (15 credits)
Courses year two:
New Media, ICT and Development (7,5 credits)
Research Methodology (7,5 credits)
Degree Project (15 credits)
In this programme, where the form of study strives to be conducive to the course content, progression lies in the group dynamic process as well as in the coursework itself. The multidisciplinary nature of the subject means that the same content should provide in-depth knowledge for students with different backgrounds. One major point of this pedagogical approach is to bring together different experiences. The group diversity should allow students to deepen their knowledge of their own major as well as gain a sufficient overview based on the academic backgrounds and practical experiences of other students. This will allow them to be able to work both interdisciplinary and transculturally in their future professions.
There is a clear evolution over the course of the programme, within the specific subject "Communication for Development." In the first year, students receive a comprehensive overview of globalisation and a systematic inventory of the entire field. In the second year, students follow specialised courses which ends with an independent project concentrating on one of the field's sub-areas.
ContentCourse list:
- Communication for Development, 60 credits - Autumn 2010 (Distance (Malmö) flexible 50%)
- Communication for Development, 60 credits - Autumn 2010 (Distance (Malmö) flexible 50%)
Learning outcomes
Communication for Development is an interdisciplinary field of study combining research and practical fieldwork that emerged in the post-war era through the practical intersection of communication and development theories. The progress of this area of study follows to a great degree the paradigmatic shifts within international development cooperation; from the top-down modernization strategies of the 50s and 60s, to today's process-oriented models that emphasize participation and dialogue, often combining several different strategies. As a result of globalization, the area of study has entered a dynamic phase of reappraisal and fresh ideas regarding the analysis of the role of media in global development and social change, as well as their corresponding communication strategies.
The overall aim of the course is two-fold:
- To provide in-depth knowledge of various aspects of globalization, emphasizing the role of culture, media and new information and communication technology from a global development perspective.
- To provide skills for work with development and social change in international development cooperation as well as in other areas.
Learning outcomes
After completing the programme, the student shall demonstrate:
- an understanding of the social and cultural consequences of globalization processes through in-depth study of specific case studies of communication for development/social change in their local, regional and global context,
- in-depth knowledge of a variety of methods - from analysis of texts to ethnography and action research - engaging with analyses of communication, learning processes/pedagogy, and cultural conditions. These methods include for example post-colonial perspectives on theory and identity formation,
- knowledge of important strands of theory in communication and cultural studies (such as participatory communication, semiotics and discourse analysis), and their integration with, and practical application in, communication for development processes,
- an understanding of international development cooperation and its key players in multi-, bi- and unilateral fields of action, as well as the ability to analyze current trends of development, their mediation (embedded in a variety of strategic discourse and communication) and practical application, and
- an understanding of several of the following generic themes.
-Media and Conflict/Peace Communication
-Identity Politics and Social Movements
-Health, Environment and Sustainable Development
- Art, Cultural Heritage and Social Change
After completing the programme, the student shall demonstrate:
- ability to integrate knowledge and to analyse, evaluate and handle complex phenomena and situations within the area of Communication for Development, even with limited access to information,
- ability to independently analyse media and cultural artefacts and articulate the importance of media and culture – including new information and communication technology – for global development and social change,
- skill to evaluate communicative programmes from a global and local development perspective, and to be able to convert this analysis into practice under difficult conditions and with few resources,
- ability to independently identify and formulate research questions, and to plan and with the help of adequate methods carry out qualified assignments within given time frames,
- ability to both scientifically analyse and practically implement data and experience that has been collected by the student him-/herself,
- ability to use advanced critical source analysis when collecting data, especially on the internet,
- ability to, both in oral and written form, clearly present and discuss his/her conclusions, as well as the knowledge and argumentation that form the basis of these in dialogue with different groups, and
- such skills that are required to participate in research or development work, or to work in other qualified professions in the area of Communication for Development.
After completing the course, the student shall demonstrate:
- ability to make judgements within the area of Communication for Development, with consideration taken to relevant scientific, societal and ethical aspects, and to show an awareness of ethical aspects in relation to research and development work,
- insights into the possibilities and limitations of research, its role in society, and the responsibility of people for its usage,
- ability to critically reflect on the various parts of the process of communication, and his/her own role as communicator or mediator,
- capacity for trans-border cooperation and intercultural dialogue, and consequently critical self-reflection of his/her own background and position of power, including reflection upon ethical issues in relation to his/her work, and
- ability to identify his/her own need of further knowledge, and to take responsibility for his/her own learning.
Gender, ethnicity/migration saturate the whole programme, but are particularly distinguished in the courses Media, Globalization and Development and Communication, Media and Culture Analysis. Regarding the environmental perspective, Communication for Development emphasizes local initiatives and participation at grass-root level in order to achieve a sustainable development.
Master's degree (60 credits).
Other Information
Access to computer with Internet connection (broadband) is required.

I had a chance to look around the cosmetics area in the department store. I was actually window-shopping for a moisturizer and foundation because these are missing in my stash at the moment. I honestly didn't have any idea what I should be looking for and I admit I am not the best person to seek advice about make-up. There is so much I still need to learn!
I should have paid attention to my personality development classes in high school. Now if I want to learn about make-up extensively, my only chance is enrolling in a Cosmetology School! There is one in Minneapolis that has been existing for more than 50 years. And there are 30 more campuses across nine states. Well, I know it will be too expensive to pursue that so I will have to look for a similar school which can offer the same curriculum as Regency. It has to be that same in terms of mirroring high end salons and is able to provide excellent education that will benefit me and the society I am in.

Oh Sh!t
Beware it's an 8mb download! Mainly due to me being lazy with music compression etc...
One level-WIP, based on the freeware Amiga classic 'Elevation'
Known issues:
- Player can 'move' platforms when pushing against them. This should not occur. I think I need to play around with mass and density to fix this.
- Player can get stuck beneath platforms. Need to find a way of letting the player jump through platforms onto the top.
- Live counting works, as you will get a game over screen after loosing all three lives, but for some reason the gui counter does not get updated
- Player 'skips' when going left. Doesn't affect play but looks a bit odd
- Only 1 level!

Newly acquired Wells ready to help in any role
WASHINGTON -- The 2013 season has been something of a whirlwind for outfielder Casper Wells. When he put on a Phillies uniform for the first time Friday, it was the fifth uniform he's worn this season.
"I'm like the Major League rover," he joked.
Wells was claimed by the Phillies off waivers on Thursday after spending most of his season with the White Sox. He hit .167 with one double and one RBI in 66 at-bats for Chicago.
Manager Charlie Manuel said that Wells can play all three outfield positions and could help fill in for injured center fielder Ben Revere, who has been out since mid-July with a broken foot. The 28-year-old agreed with Manuel's assessment but added that he is most comfortable in right field, where he can utilize his arm.
"It's fun to throw guys out, and in right field you get more opportunity to do that," Wells said. "But with center field, it's just having the quickness. As long as I keep working on my speed and that doesn't lack, I think I can handle center field."
Wells had a positive attitude on Friday, saying he has grown accustomed to the business of baseball. Over a three-week span in April, he went from the Mariners to the Blue Jays to the A's to the White Sox.
"I just focus on and control the things I can control, just worry about that, that's all you can really do, you know?" Wells said. "There's certain things that in your head you play out, you want it to be a certain way, but it doesn't always turn out how you expect it. So you kind of just control what you can control and try to keep things simple and positive.
"I feel like you've always got to embrace change whenever it happens. This is a great ballclub, a lot of history, great fans, great city, great coaching staff and players. I'm just excited for the opportunity to get comfortable, meet these guys, settle in."

On any other team he'd be the greatest shortstop in their history. A nine time All-Star and Hall of Famer: Arky Vaughan
Check out Vaughan's 1935 season: .385/.491/.607 for a 1.098 OPS and 190 OPS+. Outstanding doesn't do that justice.
Everyone knows about Wally Pipp, but Babe Dahlgren is notable for being the other bookend to Lou Gehrig.

Home and business owners who receive a settlement from their insurance company that they think is too low should take their time before signing off on it, a Newark attorney said.
Fred Giordano, a lawyer who represents policyholders at K&L Gates, said insurers' decisions aren't necessarily the final word in the process.
"Just because the other side gives you a number doesn't make it (the) right (number)," Giordano said.
The issue is bound to heat up in the wake of Sandy that swept through New Jersey in what is among the worst natural disasters in the state's history.
The New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance said last week that 452,000 residents had filed Sandy-related claims. And New Jersey Manufacturers Insurance Co. said it expected to pay out more than $300 million – four times more than it paid out for Irene.
Two big disputes are likely to arise, Giordano said: How much insurers pay for business interruption coverage, a particularly complicated part of insurance policies; and how much insurers think it will cost to replace or rebuild damaged property.
His advice?
*Don't take no for an answer. Even a simple phone call asking why a claim was rejected could force insurers to take another look.
*Contact an insurance adjuster not affiliated with your insurer to get another estimate on the cost to rebuild.
*Contact a reputable contractor to estimate how much it will cost to rebuild.
*If all else fails – and the fight is financially worthwhile – hire a lawyer and consider a lawsuit.
"In New Jersey, carriers have an obligation to investigate claims timely and in good faith and make full disclosure to their insureds," Giordano said. "There's nothing wrong with insureds saying, what did you investigate and find?"

Mariah Carey Calls Herself a 'Prude': 'I've Only Been With Five People'
Get highlights from her honest 'Cosmopolitan' cover story
By Tiana Timmerberg
Mariah Carey will forever be one of the most iconic people in the music industry. Despite her undeniable looks and her incredible talent, Mariah just revealed she hasn't been using her fame to pick up men.
In her Cosmopolitan cover story, the "Always Be My Baby" songstress gave a look into her past relationships.
"I haven't had that many, but there has been a variety pack," she reflects of her relationships. From Nick Cannon to Tommy Mottola, it's almost impossible to pin down a "type" based on her exes. "I've only been with five people in my life, so I'm kind of a prude, honestly, compared to most others in the field."
Music exec Tommy Mottola was Mariah's first husband, and 20 years her senior. The two married in 1993 when Mariah was just 23 years old.
"You might want to picture a child bride," she tells Cosmopolitan of the relationship the two have since called inappropriate. "There was a conscious effort to keep me as this all-American, whatever that means, girl. It was very controlled. There was no freedom for me as a human being. It was almost like being a prisoner."
Mariah later had relationships with stars such as Derek Jeter, Eminem, and Nick Cannon. Mariah and Nick were married for three years and had twins Moroccan Scott Cannon and Monroe Cannon before filing for divorce in 2014.
Mariah Carey is currently dating former backup dancer Bryan Tanaka.

Policy in Practice
A passion for researching public policy and management
Posted by pamcarter in SAPPHIRE (Social science APPlied to Healthcare Improvement REsearch) on August 19, 2015
Certain branches of the social sciences, especially those associated with the goals of social justice, have a long tradition of bearing witness to suffering and, as Aaron Wildavsky expressed it 'speaking truth to power', i.e. providing policy-makers and other powerful actors with what might be uncomfortable messages. This can require courage and conviction. So, although […]

Jcrop v0.9.12 Released! February 2nd, 2013 | 1 Comment »
A new version of Jcrop has been released, version 0.9.12.
This version release contains a "bumper crop" of new features and improvements.
Welcome to DeepLiquid.com.
Here is a listing of recent articles on this site:
A new version of Jcrop has been released, version 0.9.12.
This version release contains a "bumper crop" of new features and improvements.
The release of Jcrop v0.9.10 features a number of improvements and bug fixes.
Thanks to a user submission, the "jumping problem" that appeared on iOS in previous versions has been fixed in the github master branch. New version release soon. Happy new year!
An update about site performance, and the future of Jcrop on the web.
Last night at 7:05PM PST, I was logged out of Google chat, Gmail, Google+ and every other Google service. Of course dealing with Google is impossible, so I need you to help me make some noise!
I've migrated the site to a new server. This has been long overdue. It should be faster and more stable. More updates on the way (seriously). Check out the master branch of the Jcrop repository on github for the latest and greatest. Best of the season to all!
Read this post to learn about all the changes to the new and long-awaited release of Jcrop v0.9.9
Jcrop turned two years old this month. I sometimes get emails asking if Jcrop is still active. The answer is yes, and it's high time I get off my tookus and release a new version…
Read this article if you are experiencing "badware" warnings when navigating this site. I believe the problem has been rectified, but I'm waiting for the mighty Google to review the site and remove the warning. To the best of my knowledge, the site is safe to view.
A new version of Jcrop is available today: Jcrop v0.9.8 fixes some bugs which prevented previous versions from working correctly in Internet Explorer 8 under some settings. Thanks to all the folks who pointed out this problem!

IntroductionRight in the center of the state, Alexandria has a strong Southern, 1800s feel to it. Visit the town's Museum of Art and the River Oaks Square Arts and Crafts Center, where resident artists work in all kinds of media—quilts, handmade paper, pottery, calligraphy, oils and watercolor. For sumptuous, European-style architecture, visit the Hotel Bentley, which first opened in 1908 and was renovated in 1998. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the building is no longer a hotel, but the architecture is still worth a stop. The Arna Bontemps African-American Museum and Cultural Arts Center is located in the house where Bontemps, one of the writers of the Harlem Renaissance, was born. If you're interested in Native American ceremonial mounds, drive about 30 mi/48 km southeast on Louisiana Highway 1 to see the Marksville State Historic Site. It contains earthworks and two burial sites from AD 300-600. For more Native American history, head to the mound-shaped Tunica-Biloxi Indian Center and Museum (just south of Marksville). Alexandria is also a great base for exploring the Kisatchie National Forest. Alexandria is 165 mi/265 km northwest of New Orleans.

Tracking dog, handler nab same suspect twice
FRENCHTOWN TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) -- A law enforcement dog in southeastern Michigan is getting to know one man quite well. The Monroe Evening News reports the German shepherd named Ranger and Monroe County sheriff's Deputy Rob Moody found the man hiding last week in a garbage can in Frenchtown Township after the theft of more than $300 of liquor and DVDs from a store.
Moody says the man was the same one they tracked a few weeks earlier in January in Bedford Township while seeking burglars. Moody says he at first "didn't put two-and-two together," but later realized it was the same man. He says the double catch is "a first for me."
Following the first charge for resisting arrest, the 25-year-old man was released from custody. He's now jailed on charges including shoplifting.

Quito's nerve-trying urban airport shutting down as Ecuador
/ voyages
QUITO, Ecuador - Landing at Ecuador's capital can be a white-knuckle affair. High altitude, a cramped runway and towering volcanos nearby make it one of Latin America's most challenging airports for pilots. And the constant roar of the planes torments those on the ground as well.
That will change on Feb. 19 as Quito moves its airport to an agricultural setting 20 kilometres northeast of the city, joining other cities that have moved — or tried to move — planes further from people.
Mariscal Sucre airport sat amid cornfields when it was christened in 1960. Over the years, Quito grew dense around it, turning the airfield into a notoriously nerve-racking neighbour, with planes booming in and out from 5:45 a.m. until 2 a.m. without rest.
"The racket of the planes sometimes woke us at dawn," said Maria Davila, 40, who has lived two blocks from the runway since she was a child. "The windows of the house would rattle and it seemed they would shatter."
"I often thought a plane would fall onto my house and kill all my family," she added. "The airport has been a bad neighbour, a very dangerous neighbour."
There are a lot more of those neighbours than when it opened. Just about 350,000 lived in Quito then. The population has grown to about 2.2 million now.
Over the course its life, Mariscal Sucre has seen 10 serious accidents. In 1984, a DC-8 owned by the company Aeca clipped some navigation aids on takeoff and plunged onto neighbouring homes. Forty-nine people were killed.
Fourteen years later, A Cubana de Aviacion Tupolev 154 failed on takeoff and slammed into the airport's wall, killing 76.
Most accidents were what the industry calls "runway excursions" — as in running off the runway. They tend to plague urban airports with minimal margins for error.
In addition to the cramped runway and nearby mountains, which force a steep angle of approach, the airport sits at an elevation of nearly 8,700 feet (2,850 metres), an oxygen-thin altitude that diminishes aircraft performance on takeoff and landing.
"You have to think ahead of the airplane a lot," said Ivan Rivera, an American Airlines captain with experience flying into Quito. "You have to be aware that those mountains aren't forgiving."
At that altitude, an aircraft must be travelling faster than normal at landing, and it takes longer to take off. And the zigzag, or corkscrew approach, can be unnerving.
Frequent air travellers, even those accustomed to the Andes' choppy air currents, can get anxious on approach to Quito, which handles about 220 departures and arrivals a day, carrying an average of 451,000 passengers a year.
Growing up with the constant roar of jets surging skyward in their midst has engendered fatalism in some neighbours.
Fernando Araujo, a 22-year-old university student, plays soccer just outside the northern end of the runway and said he's not bothered by the gleaming hulks of steel that pass just over the field.
"I'm not at all afraid. We're accustomed to the planes' takeoffs and landings," he said. "Only God knows when we'll be taken, so we're relaxed."
The new airport at Tababela is built to handle 290 flights a day and has a runway 4,100 metres long. That's nearly 1,000 metres longer the soon-to-be shuttered airfield.
Other cities in the region have tried to move airports to less troublesome sites. Honduras is planning to move most airline flights out of notorious Toncontin airport in Tegucigalpa, whose short runway and urban location make it the region's most dangerous major airport by many accounts. It was closed to commercial jets in 2008 for six weeks after a Taca A320 jet ran off the runway and into a busy street, killing five, including two on the ground.
Land disputes, however, have frustrated efforts to move Mexico City's airport to more spacious terrain further from the urban sprawl.
Tight space has led the tiny Caribbean islands of St. Barts, St. Maartin and Saba to put up with airports widely considered among the most hair-raising in the world.
Quito's new airfield, which also carries the name of 19th-century independence leader Antonio Jose de Sucre, is bordered by cropland and encompasses nearly 15.5 square kilometres, twelve times the area of the old airport, most of which will now become a public park.
As runway becomes grassy esplanade, a flurry of construction is anticipated nearby. The newly revised code will allow for buildings as high as 40 stories, up from the current four.
"I can't even imagine what it's going to be like without all the noise and fear," said Francisco Cahuines, whose construction supply business borders the airfield's northern end.
There will, however, be one big drawback.
While the old Mariscal Sucre could be reached from downtown in 20 minutes or so it will take at least an hour to get to the new airport, and no train-to-the-plane is yet planned.

Three Bear Restaurant
Three Bear Restaurant is a must for everyone who spends time in West Yellowstone. Both locals and visitors agree that Three Bear Restaurant offers excellent meals and is one of the area's best places to eat! The restaurant is one of the few in town that offers a children's menu for both Breakfast and Dinner. The décor of the Three Bear Restaurant brings to life the colorful part of Yellowstone Park and is replete with memorabilia and photos depicting its history.
Though Three Bear Lodge continues to serve guests the Three Bear Restaurant closes seasonally twice a year. Our closure dates are as follows:
After breakfast is served on Oct. 20 we will close from Oct. 21 – Dec. 14
We reopen for dinner on Dec. 14th at 5 PM
Closed from Mar. 17 – April 26th
Start your day with a hearty breakfast that offers something for everyone. Summer Breakfast Hours are from 6:30 AM to 10:30 AM, 7 days a week.
Our Summer Hours are from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM 7 days a week, serving great food with a friendly service and Chef's Specials. One of the few places in town to offer a kids' menu, cozy ambiance, unique history, Three Bear Restaurant is the perfect place to round off a day exploring Yellowstone.
The Three Bear Restaurant has a history almost as rich as the lodge itself.
The restaurant began life as the Teepee Bar and Café. There was a bar in the front with a fireplace and a back bar where the salad bar now stands. The rear portion hosted a dance floor, and the green side was the cafe.
The Teepee was known as a lively bar and a place where you could dance. Also there were, in fact, "Ladies of the Evening", however no-one knew for sure if one of them was a man dressed like a woman or a real floozy.
Bill Howell and Clyde Seely bought the Teepee in 1978. Bill bought the bar license and together they continued to run it as is for a few years before converting the café to a Chinese café. This didn't work, so the café was leased out to a person who put in an entertainment center.
Eventually, Bill sold his share of the café to Clyde, who put a complete new roof on first and then gutted the entire building to the studs. This was done because the original Three Bear Restaurant would only seat 75 people. Expansion was required, and we can now seat over 150 in the Restaurant and about 40 in the Lounge.
The rebuilding of the interior was a major logistical project. The beams were logged next to the South Fork, 5 miles East, then hauled to Rightenour's old saw mill – 8 miles north, where they were milled.
Taking a tip from the inside of the Old Faithful Inn, the logs were cut in half so they looked like they were full logs but got twice the coverage. Permission was gained from the city to cover and build a board sidewalk. All of the logs were hand peeled and the restaurant and lounge were enlarged to their current size and location.
The Historical photos adorning the walls were gathered from around town and from the archives in Mammoth.
The rebuild was completed in record time. Logging began in the summer, demolition began after Labor Day and the new building was opened on Dec. 20, 1984.
Menus: Breakfast | Dinner
Adjoining the restaurant is the Grizzly Lounge.
The lounge takes you back in time with its memorabilia and photos depicting Yellowstone National Park's history. Enjoy the comfortable atmosphere while you sip your favorite cocktail or bite into a tasty appetizer before dinner at the Three Bear Restaurant. Or come in and relax while watching our big screen TV. You may even want to try your luck at our video gaming machines. In any case, know that you'll feel right at home as we serve you during your Yellowstone vacation.
The Lounge stocks a good range of Domestic and imported Beers, Wines & Spirits and is open from 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM daily.

ICT services provider, Data#3 (ASX:DTL), reduced its staff count by 11 per cent including a reduction in contractor base by 32 per cent in FY 2012, according to the company's annual general meeting address filed with the Australian Stock Exchange.
The company ended the year with 900 staff, with 648 permanent, 34 casual and 240 contractors in its People Solutions Business, according to the address by Data#3 managing director, John Grant.
The company reduced the number of roles in the second half in response to market outlook, he said.
"This saw a number of people leave the business under redundancy conditions for only the second time in our history," Grant said in the address.
And although company's overall employee count was down, its share of permanent staff was up from 638 to 648, increasing the revenues from permanent employees, Grant noted.
Data#3 uses a combination of permanent and contract workers. During the financial year, the company had to scale back in certain areas to tackle project-related work, he said.
The company could potentially see further declines in contractor numbers but sees overall a good first half, according to Grant.
In the AGM address, he noted the company's top line growth of 16.3 per cent to $811.4 million. Its licensing solutions business saw the most growth at 35 per cent to $483 million.
Its product revenue was up 17.5 per cent and services up 9.7 per cent. Its balance sheet remained strong with assets increasing to $32.5 million at end of June 30, 2012 compared to $30.2 million in the previous year.
"The 2012 financial year saw continued difficult economic conditions that have now been with us for far longer than ever previously experienced by the company. Even in this context, the 2012 results are second only to the previous year," Data#3 chairman, Richard Anderson, said in the address.

LAS VEGAS--Lowe's might not be the first name that comes to mind when you're thinking about cutting-edge home tech, but the company has quietly moved into the field with a series of simple, do-it-yourself kits called Iris.
Pulling together technology from a huge range of vendors, including Verizon, Sylvania, Schlage, First Alert, GE Jasco, and Radio Thermostat of America, Lowe's is offering three Iris kits as well as a new senior monitoring pack called Iris Care.
Iris Care lets you monitor a person's habits and routines remotely. When it detects something abnormal, such as a door opening in the middle of the night, it can text you. It includes an emergency pendant, which can call, e-mail, or text when activated. It can also monitor the ambient temperature at the person's house.
Lowe's recommends that Iris Care be used in conjunction with one of the Iris kits that includes motion sensors and apps for remote monitoring. Iris also offers a secure Web site for checking up on it from a PC or Mac. The Senior Pendant will cost $29.99, and the notification services it utilizes cost $14.98 per month.
The new Iris Smart Kit is a premium-level do-it-yourself kit that combines Lowe's two other Iris kits: Comfort and Control, and Safe and Secure. While those retail for $179, the Smart Kit will set you back $299. It includes an Iris Hub, motion sensor, smart plug, keypad, range extender, smart thermostat, and two window, door and cabinet sensors.
The kits will work with a new line of "connected" home products that Lowe's is releasing throughout the year, including stand-alone, standard-socket LED lightbulbs from Sylvania. These bulbs contain a chip inside that connects to the Iris system without having to use a smart plug. No price has been announced for the bulb, although its public availability is expected in the first quarter of 2013.

WEEKLY WRITING PROMPT #31: Ben Jackson, husband and father of three, is killed on a car accident. Write about this event and how it affects the lives of the following characters:
- Ben's wife
- Ben's business partner
- a police officer who was at the scene of the accident
- Ben's youngest child
By all accounts, Ben Jackson was a good man. He loved his family very much, and he showed up to work with a smile everyday. Ben never complained; he had nothing to complain about, really, and he knew it was all wasted breath. Ben Jackson had never intended to waste any breath as he fully understood how precious such breaths were. So when Ben breathed his last, when his breaths were brutally cut short, it was certainly not of his own volition.
He never even saw the other car coming.
But why would he? No one ever really looks for the car speeding through a red light; the car just comes, as careless and reckless as any harbinger of death would be. That might be melodramatic – it was no sullen, hooded figure gliding just above the pavement with a sickle clutched in a bony hand. It had been a kid; a simple, pimply kid who was too busy sending text messages in the group chat and making plans for a Friday night he was certain would come to look up. So confident in his immortality as only the young are, he assumed the car in front of him had disappeared from his stolen glances at the road because the traffic light had changed color from red to green. In reality, the car had made a legal right on red, but the teen driver wasn't really paying attention. He accelerated forward the way young, inexperienced drivers are apt to do – in sudden, scary bursts – and in just a moment more, he slammed into the side of Ben Jackson's car, right into the driver's door.
Ben's affordable Kia Rio folded like a cheap suit and a jagged piece of metal from the poorly constructed door (later, no one would mention the recall at the service because to do so would be impertinent) severed his femoral artery. He bled out in just four minutes, just before the paramedics arrived.
Officer Bobby Gillis, responding to the scene, was unnerved by the lack of carnage for a crash with a fatality. The teen's car had managed to travel unscathed to the far side of the relatively busy intersection before he collided with the deceased, a Mr. Ben Jackson. Officer Bobby Gillis was slightly bent at the waist, looking in through an open window at Ben Jackson's face. The face was peaceful, like the man could be sleeping instead of being dead. Office Bobby Gillis released a deep breath and straightened up, looking across the way for his partner. Once he showed up, the pair would travel to the deceased's home and notify the next of kin. Officer Bobby Gillis swallowed hard and ran a trembling hand across the back of his neck a few times. He needed to get his mind right, to focus on the task at hand, which in essence was to break someone's heart, some undeserving stranger who as of yet had no idea a loved one was gone, dead and gone. His face felt tingly and he knew he must be pale, and he shut his eyes tight against the vision of the peaceful dead man that would haunt him at night for months to come.
Imagine if Officer Bobby Gillis knew what a great guy Ben Jackson was. How harder would the tragedy have landed on the officer if he knew Ben Jackson was on the road during the workday to pick up lunch for his colleagues, his treat? No good deed goes unpunished, and for a generous lunch, Ben Jackson had paid with his life. What a sick joke.
But neither Officer Bobby Gillis nor his partner knew the intimate details of Ben Jackson's life and as such, both were better composed as they climbed wooden, creaking steps to a front door of a home that looked like every other home in the neighborhood. There was nothing remarkable about it, nothing to alert anyone to the fact that someone inside had been marked for death. Officer Bobby Gillis continued to grapple with his existential crisis until he noticed the toys in the yard and the small bikes in the driveway. His stomach flipped over and for a moment, just a moment, he debated running back to the cruiser and locking the doors. He'd rather avoid the whole, ugly mess.
But his partner had already knocked.
When the door opened, a gorgeous blonde with legs for miles answered the door. She was smiling, but it didn't quite meet her big, baby doll eyes. Officer Bobby Gillis chalked it up to being uncomfortable and confused, which was how most pedestrians felt when the law came knocking on their door. Officer Bobby Gillis' partner asked if the children were home.
"Just my youngest," said the beautiful woman. "Jimmy and Josie are at school." Her face paled considerably but somehow remained radiant. Officer Bobby Gillis credited contoured makeup. "Is everything okay? Did something happen to my children?"
The partner answered that no, nothing happened to the children and that they were safe. Then he asked if they could come in. Though the woman gave no response, she opened the front door wider and stepped back, which was as good an invitation as any. The officers crossed the threshold, softly shutting the door behind them, and followed the beautiful woman into the kitchen. She shakily sat in a chair, watching with impossibly wide eyes as the officers seated themselves opposite her.
Officer Bobby Gillis let his partner do all the talking.
And as the partner explained the tragedy, the beautiful woman didn't make a sound. She blinked those big, baby doll eyes a lot, blinked them until a few tears rolled down her cheeks. Officer Bobby Gillis credited shock for the muted reaction, and considered that quite possibly, this woman was doing her best to keep it together for the little one that was somewhere inside the home. Officer Bobby Gillis and his partner offered expected but genuine condolences and then excused themselves. Once outside, Officer Bobby Gillis said, "Well, that sucked." His partner agreed and Officer Bobby Gillis said, "That's the absolute worst part of this job, man."
Inside, the beautiful woman was still sitting at the table. Her name was Lisa and she had been married to Ben Jackson for ten years. They had known each other in high school, but waited a few years after they graduated college to get serious. It was a safe bet for Lisa, a sure thing; he was making money as a financial adviser and Lisa had never been any good at anything, not skilled enough to have a career. She also was never any good with money, so she had been content to be taken care of (financially, at the very least). That is, she had been content.
Phil Evans, Ben's business partner, came walking out of the bedroom from down the hallway, tucking his expensive button-down shirt into his equally expensive pants. "Who was that?" he asked.
"The police," Lisa said. Her voice was flat. "Ben's dead. There was a car accident." She blinked. "He didn't make it. He's dead." She blinked again. In a moment more, those big, baby doll eyes landed on Phil.
Phil collapsed into the chair recently vacated by Officer Bobby Gillis. His eyebrows were scrunched up, like he was confused and trying to solve some exceedingly frustrating problem. "What?" he asked, even though he had heard Lisa perfectly. He didn't know what else to say – what was there to say? – and he was buying time, time to think and figure it out.
"Ben's dead," Lisa repeated. Her voice cracked and tears came easier now. "Ben's dead."
Phil covered his face with his hands. "Shit," he breathed. His breath was tremulous, speeding up and slowing down in a jerky kind of pattern that typically signaled tears. He didn't want to cry in front of Lisa, didn't feel he had the right to mourn Ben's passing in Ben's house. Phil's recent sense of decency was odd and ill-timed, as he had just slept with Ben's wife and had been doing so for months. "Lisa, I-"
Down the hall, Jeremy was softly crying. He was just waking up from his afternoon nap and rather than sit across from Phil and face the physical manifestation of everything that was wrong with her, Lisa hurried down the hall.
In her absence, Phil found himself able to cry.

There are specific telephony cards that work, but are not PnP atm. Using regular modems is something that does not work reliable, IF at all. An external SIP ATA (that's what the SPA is), is the best solution to get regular phone lines into the system. They are fairly inexpensive, and just work.

Newtown Board of Education seeks concrete commitment on police presence at schools (video)
NEWTOWN -- The Newtown Board of Education is likely to seek a more concrete commitment from the town and the Police Department to maintain the minimum two-officers-per-school police coverage that's been in place since the Dec. 14 Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings.
The plan for continuing coverage now "is indefinite," Superintentent of School Janet Robinson told the board at its first meeting since the massacre that killed 20 small children and six teachers and staff added Sandy Hook to the world's lexicon.
But "there are people who want a stronger commitment than that," Robinson said.
She said before the meeting -- which was moved from the board office to nearby Reed Intermediate School because the regular meeting room is full of mail that's been pouring in from all over the world -- that parents seem to want it, but, obviously, there would be a cost to maintain it.
"I've been talking to the chief and saying, 'We need this,'" Robinson told the board.
At this point, "our students have not been going out for recess...because of the anxiety of this thing," she said.
Board Chairwoman Debbie Leidlein said that her understanding from talking to First Selectwoman Patricia Llodra "is that the (school) board will determine our needs... and then we'll have the discussion."
There currently are three trained school resource officers in town, at Newtown High School, Newtown Middle School and Reed Intermediate School.
Several parents spoke during the public participation portion of the meeting, including Amy Roman, the mother of two Head O'Meadow School children, who earlierin the evening also spoke to the Board of Police Commissioners about the need to maintain a continuing police presence.
Roman said the only reason she was willing to send her children back to school was because of the police officers stationed there.
The security of her children "is something that we think about probably every single day when we drop our children off at the bus..." she said. "We feel that long-term police presence has gone from a want to a need."
Parent Michelle Hankin, who has children in three different schools, said that "going forward, I think that people want to see permanent police presence at the schools. It's a new world in which we live" and having police at the schools "helps people in feeling that they're secure."
Parent David Friedman said he also wants the police presence, "but I think we need to balance it out" so kids can learn "without the fear that something could happen."
"Having the kids go on the playground, I think, is essential for any child," Friedman said.
School officials also thanked neighboring Monroe -- which gave Newtown the use of a school to keep the Sandy Hook kids together -- for its generosity.
The board, even in discussing things as common and mundane as the coming year's budget, also dealt with uncommon questions of security and how to make kids -- and their parents -- feel safe in ways that few school boards normally have to.
As has become the rule in Newtown as things move back in toward normal, the meeting began with a moment of silence in memory of the 26 people, including 20 5- and 6-year-olds and six staff members who died before gunman Adam Lanza shot himself.
Leidlein praised all of the district's teachers and staff for their work since school resumed at all the town's schools.
"I think what our teachers have done over the past...weeks has been nothing short of heroic..." Leidlein said. "I think what they've accomplished has been phenomenal."
She had kind words for Monroe, as well.
"I just wanted to publicly thank the town of Monroe and the Monroe school district for the generous gift that they've given us of a school that will house that entire...Sandy Hook School," Leidlein said during her report to the board.
Leidlein said "it's impossible to describe what a generous gift that is" because use of the former Chalk Hill School in Monroe allows the Sandy Hook School community to remain together.
"They've been phenomenal and I just can't express enough gratitude," Leidlein said.
Robinson said the Newtown school district and their hosts in Monroe have had "a phenomenal working relationship.
"The town and the Monroe police look at us as their guests, and they're taking care of their guests," she said.
Robinson told the board that when the Sandy Hook children got off the bus to return to school last week, "they didn't get off the bus -- they hopped off and skipped off."
The ultra-quick conversion of the school for Sandy Hook's needs -- much of it with volunteer labor -- "is like a magical transformation," Robinson said. "It's really been phenomenal...People have just gotten in motion and done some wonderful things."
She also pointed out that while Newtown took Monroe up on its generous offer, "Other districts came forward -- Ridgefield and Derby offered us classrooms," although neither was able to offer an entire school."
The board also discussed uncommon things such as the possibility that it may seek an unprecedented waiver of the annual 180-day requirement from the state Department of Education for Sandy Hook.
Robinson told the board that she doesn't know of any instance in which the state has waived the requirement, "but I believe in this case they would." She said she favors seeking a waiver, but nothing was decided.

The Milk Carton Kids On Mountain Stage
The Milk Carton Kids On Mountain Stage
Set List
- "Michigan"
- "New York"
- "Sealing Romance"
- "Charlie"
- "I Still Want a Little More"
Minimalist folk duo The Milk Carton Kids makes its first appearance on Mountain Stage, recorded live in Charleston, W.V. Singer-songwriters Joey Ryan and Kenneth Pattengale were pursuing their own solo careers when a serendipitous meeting led to full-time collaboration and a lovely new album titled Prologue.
The duo opens its set with the lush, atmospheric tune "Michigan," which immediately showcases the qualities that make this band stand out: tight harmonies and shimmering melodies set against intricate, driving guitar. The result calls to mind some of music's most celebrated folk pairings; comparisons to Simon & Garfunkel and The Jayhawks write themselves, while Pattengale's blazing, country-infused picking will no doubt remind some of David Rawlings' work with Gillian Welch. Prologue is available for free download on The Milk Carton Kids' website.
This segment originally aired on December 21, 2011.
