Museums wager Impressionist art on their Super Bowl teams
In a friendly but also serious wager, the Milwaukee Art Museum and the Carnegie Museum of Art are each putting an Impressionist work of art on the line for their favored Super Bowl team.
How lovely would it be not only to see the Packers win but also to have a nice little Renoir to gloat over, sent by the losing Pittsburgh-based museum to MAM.
"I'm confident that we will be enjoying the Renoir from the Carnegie Museum of Art very soon," said MAM director Daniel T. Keegan in a statement that barely concealed his ardor for the dappled painting of lounging, fleshy females. "I look forward to displaying it where the public can enjoy it and be reminded of the superiority of the Green Bay Packers."
Keegan, incidentally, is a Green Bay native.
Of course, should the Packers lose to the Steelers, MAM will have to pack up one of its very best artworks, "Boating on the Yerres" by Gustav Caillebotte, and send it off to the Carnegie. It is one of the finest examples of Impressionism in the permanent collection at MAM, a museum that is not rich on Impressionists in the first place.
(A footnote: The Caillebotte was a gift of the Milwaukee Journal to the museum in 1965.)
It's important to note that the museums are betting a temporary loan. Still, the institutions are betting one of their most treasured works. Even a temporary parting is going to hurt. (Though one of the Carnegie's Van Goghs would have been a real bet.)
The museums were egged on by art critic Tyler Green, whose Modern Art Notes blog is published by ArtInfo.com.
This is the second year in a row that Green has prompted a bet. At this time last year, before the New Orleans Saints defeated the Indianapolis Colts in the Super Bowl, Green instigated a bet between the Indianapolis Museum of Art and the New Orleans Museum of Art.
There was a bit of trash talking between the museums, in fact. Not this year, it would seem.
"In Pittsburgh, we believe trash talk is bad form," said Lynn Zelavansky, the Carnegie's director in a statement. "We let the excellence of our football team, and our collection, speak for itself."
Last year, the Indianapolis museum wagered a painting by British romantic landscape artist J.M.W. Turner, while the New Orleans bet a work by Baroque painter Claude Lorrain.
When the Saints won, Indy sent its lovely Turner, with its dramatic and stirred-up sky, to New Orleans. It hung in the Louisiana museum's galleries for three months.
The big game will be played at 5:30 p.m. Feb. 6 in Arlington, Texas, just ouside Dallas. Dates for the art loan are still being worked out.

It is a great way for them to drum up free advertising. If the Pack wins, they get a Renoir for a few months, drawing in many art enthusiasts. If the Pack loses (which they won't!!!), they get advertising out of what paintings they have in their collection. Either way, the Milwaukee Museum of Art wins. A brilliant move by the MMOA. Congrats to their marketing team. GO PACK!!!!

'Doting' Grange mum, 25, dies after seizure
Last updated at 11:55, Tuesday, 28 August 2012
TRIBUTES have been paid to a young mother who died after a 17-year battle with epilepsy.
Emma Jane Bolton died, aged 25, on August 13 after suffering an epileptic seizure at home.
Miss Bolton, of Fell Road, Grange, has been described as a "doting mother" to her three-year-old daughter Alyssa.
Her mother, Wendy Bolton, turned 51 the week following her daughter's death.
The latest tragedy comes four years after the death of her husband and Emma's stepfather, John Bolton, in August 2008.
Mrs Bolton said: "I'm devastated but I have put a brave face on for my granddaughter.
"She used to take her to the playground, Alyssa was her life.
"She was a doting mother.
"When she had her little girl she just wanted to look after her."
Mrs Bolton said her daughter was first diagnosed with epilepsy when she was eight-years-old, after she had a seizure while she was getting her ears pierced.
The pair were brought closer following the death of Miss Bolton's stepfather in 2008.
Mrs Bolton said: "She took his name when we remarried. He loved her to bits and she loved him to bits, it was a very happy time.
"Now I don't tend to celebrate my birthdays – I lost my husband days before my birthday and this year I lost my daughter.
"She used to say I was not only her mother but her big sister and her friend.
"She would always do things like go to the shops to save me going, we got on well.
"It's devastating but I know life has to go on."
Mrs Bolton said dozens of condolence messages have been sent through Facebook.
"She was popular and considerate," she said.
"I have just got to concentrate on my granddaughter.
"She knows she has gone. I told her 'Mummy has gone to heaven to be with the angels and her granddad'."
Miss Bolton will be cremated at Lancaster and Morecambe Crematorium tomorrow at 2.45pm.

It was named for Governor Peter Early, a native of Virginia; Congressional delegate and Governor from 1813 to 1815. The first settlers came in 1817, settling on Harrod's Creek (now Old Factory Creek) on the Chattahoochee River. Earliest Settlers: L. B. Avirett, Thomas Avera, M. H. Alexander, Alexander W. Bealer, Woodson F. Davis, George Colley, Joseph Lane, L. D. Gay, A. J. Lewis, W. R. Puckett, Loren Russell, R. H. Sheffield and L. C. Ward. The first court was not held until 1820.

Tropical Watches & Warnings
Wave Heights
Wave Heights
Tropical weather (tropical depressions, tropical storms, and hurricanes) can affect our way of life in Alabama and Georgia, even though we live far from the coast. Heavy rain and possible tornadoes are always a big threat from a landfalling tropical system, but high winds for a sustained amount of time are always a possibility with the strongest storms. Here is some more information on these tropical troubles!
Terms to know:
Tropical Depression: A tropical cyclone over with maximum sustained winds of 38 mph or less. Tropical cyclones all share several of the same characteristics: a warm-core low pressure system lacking fronts; a well organized, closed center with deep convection (thunderstorms) around it that draws its energy from the warm ocean waters; and a closed surface wind circulation.
Tropical Storm: A tropical cyclone with maximum sustained winds between 39 and 73 miles per hour. Once a tropical depression becomes a tropical storm, it receives a name that is determined years in advance by the National Hurricane Center.
Hurricane: A tropical cyclone with maximum sustained winds of 74 miles per hour or greater (sometimes up to 200 mph). The term hurricane is used for Northern Hemisphere tropical cyclones east of the International Dateline to the Greenwich Meridian. The term typhoon is used for Pacific tropical cyclones north of the Equator west of the International Dateline.

With just over a week to go before the Big Game, automakers left and right are giving us sneak peeks at the big-budget ads they've got lined up for game day. Audi is keeping us on our collective toes with something about a dog show, and Volkswagen is trying to squeeze everything awesome into one spot, but Toyota looks poised to have them both beat. Because the Japanese automaker has got a far more lovable dog cast for its commercial, and the one bit of awesome the Germans seem to have forgotten.
That's right, Toyota's commercial has got Muppets. With their new movie Muppets Most Wanted set to hit theaters in March, everybody's favorite gang of shag carpets with googly eyes is on a mission to "unborify" Terry Crews, the actor of Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Everybody Hates Chris fame. Which only seems fitting for a Super Bowl commercial, seeing as how Crews played six seasons in the NFL as a defensive end and linebacker.
We're not sure that portraying the driver of a Highlander as someone who needs to be "unborified" is the right message Toyota wants to send in the first place, but we'll reserve final judgement for when we see the full clip. In the meantime you can watch the half-minute teaser video below for a little Muppet mayhem.
- 2014 Highlander Spot Highlights Muppets' Mission to 'Unborify' Crews on Game Day
- Toyota, Disney Collaboration Celebrates All-New Toyota Highlander and All-New "Muppets Most Wanted" Film, In Theaters March 21, 2014
TORRANCE, Calif. (Jan. 21, 2014) –The Muppets gang is in for a wild ride when they join forces with Toyota this year, blending Toyota's exciting 'Let's Go Places' spirit with Muppets mayhem. The collaboration celebrates the upcoming Toyota Highlander launch and the Muppets' all-new big-screen adventure "Muppets Most Wanted," in theaters March 21, 2014.
Disney's Muppets will hit the road with Terry Crews, star of the Golden Globe®-winning FOX series "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," in Toyota's new commercial for the all-new 2014 Toyota Highlander. The 60-second spot, entitled "Joyride," will make its broadcast debut during Super Bowl XLVIII on Sunday, February 2.
"Our game-day spot shows how Toyota Highlander puts the 'fun' in function," said Jack Hollis, vice president of Toyota Division Marketing at Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. "Toyota vehicles are built to last and can even endure the most boisterous Muppets, a former NFL player as well as a center console full of chickens."
With their over-the-top personalities, the Muppets teach Crews' character a thing or two about "unborifying" his lifestyle as they "borrow" his sweet ride, the Toyota Highlander. The spot features humorous hijinks, dancing and surprises-and no Muppet caper would be complete without an original song. Viewers will see that with seating for up to eight human passengers or more than a dozen Muppets, the all-new Toyota Highlander has plenty of room for everything-everything except boring.
"We're always game for a wild ride," said Kermit the Frog, who makes a special appearance in the campaign, "as long as Animal's not driving. He doesn't quite get the whole concept of brakes."
Crews, who played six years in the NFL as a defensive end/linebacker, is known for his roles and appearances on television shows such as "Arrested Development" and "The Newsroom," and films "The Expendables" franchise, "Bridesmaids" and "The Longest Yard."
"It's truly an honor to be a part of this wild ride with Toyota and the Muppets," said Crews. "The Toyota Highlander is the perfect vehicle to teach my character how to loosen up and have some fun. Be prepared for some laughs on game day."
In addition to the commercial, the Muppets gang will provide real-time updates as they travel to the big game in their Toyota Highlander on February 2. Fans and customers are invited to chat live with the Muppets on game day by tweeting @Toyota or using #NoRoomForBoring.
The broadcast spot and social media activities were developed in partnership with Saatchi & Saatchi LA, Conill and 360i. "Joyride" will air during the second quarter of the game. For a preview of the commercial, please visit: http://www.youtube.com/v/jjmwdLM478A .
Beyond the Super Bowl, the Toyota and Disney collaboration will see the Highlander co-starring with Muppets stars from "Muppets Most Wanted" in an advertising campaign showcasing the vehicle's features, functionality and "unboring" personality. Starring Ricky Gervais, Ty Burrell and Tina Fey, the film takes the entire Muppets gang on a global tour where they find themselves unwittingly entangled in an international crime caper.
"We all grew up with Kermit and the Muppets, and that makes Toyota's collaboration with Disney very special for us," said Hollis. "The two brands share a focus on delighting guests, and this allows us to take them along on a fun ride."
"We're excited to work with Toyota for the first time," said Don Gross, vice president, promotions The Walt Disney Studios. "The Muppets' classic mix of high energy and heart matches perfectly with Toyota's spirit of adventure, and Kermit, Gonzo and the whole gang look forward to many zany road trips."

Our Llanystumdwy Club campsite in North West Wales is located between mountains and sea in an area of natural beauty. Its position makes it ideal for exploring both the Lleyn Peninsula and Snowdonia National Park – both great walking areas. Lovely views extend over the rolling countryside from the campsite which is bordered by tree and dry stone walls. The site boasts 70 pitches – many sloping – spread out over a large field. Facilities are clean tidy and include toilets, showers, a laundry and dog walk. It's a short walk to the village of Llanystumdwy.

Criccieth to the east of the campsite has a castle and plenty of independent shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants. It also has a long esplanade along the seafront and a sandy beach. Further on Porthmadog is the gateway to the Snowdonia National Park. It's also home to the Ffestiniog and Welsh High Railways. Jump on a train at either end of the town, enjoy the mountain scenery. Caernarfon, Portmadog, Pwhelli and Port Merrion are all easily accessible by either bus, car or train from the campsite. Worth Noting Please note that the majority of pitches are sloping and chocks will be required. Club Service Pitches are only 10amp. WiFi 100% coverage cannot be guaranteed due to rural location, weather conditions and changing flora. These can cause variable signal strength. Hotspots are available. Prices.

Just off the main road therefore access was very easy at the west end of the very quaint village. The site is laid over 3 fields with the main one on a moderate slope where chocks are needed (look in the water stations for spare ones). Plots at the bottom of the slope back on to a small raised embankment with plenty of bushes for a bit of seclusion. Units on upper part of field are laid out across the slope for safety. Traffic noise (other comments) was not an issue because we were so tired every evening after our days out that we were soon crashed out. A few plots were hardstanding (10amps only), most were grass. Little shop/reception with basic provisions and little hut with info. leaflets. Very clean toilet/shower/laundry bock. Slight smell at the very back seems to come from a small waste processing system.

by Alex Hoad
Darren Stevens
Darren Stevens swept the board at the Kent Cricket end of season awards held at The Spitfire Ground, St Lawrence on Friday.

handbags Stevens said: "It has been quite a tough year, but I've worked hard and tried to throw myself into my cricket and do the best I can for the team.
"We were not as successful as we'd hoped this season, which is disappointing, but personally I am chuffed to bits to have had a year like this."
Kent skipper James Tredwell received the Fitzgerald Jewellers' One Day Player of the Year Award.
Both he and Stevens won two individual man-of-the-match awards through the season and head coach Jimmy Adams was called-on to break the tie and decide who should win.

Supply Chain Case Studies
American Transport Unions
The union movement in the United States started as far back as the mid-1800's when the small organized unions started to emerge. Today, the AFL-CIO currently a federation of 57 affiliated unions, including some of the largest unions representing transport workers such as airline staff, transit employees and dock workers. This article looks at...
Underemployment is a growing concern in all industry sectors in the US. Workers are having their hours cut and having to take second or third jobs to make up the difference. Typically these workers are on minimum wage and lack the benefits offered to full-time employees.
Supply Chain Company Failures of the Decade
As we enter a new decade it is time to look back at the past ten years and reflect on three of the largest company failures in the supply chain sector. Although the internet bubble produced a significant number of company failures, changes in customers needs, changes in technology and all round bad management led to some of the more notable...
Case Study in Purchasing Rationalization
A major American chemical company had completed a year of supply chain reengineering and decided upon a number of best practices that should be implemented. One element of the reengineering was that they decided upon creating a shared service function at their headquarters which rationalized the purchasing and accounts functions.
Flying Tigers
The Flying Tigers Line was the first scheduled cargo airline in the United States and a major military charter operator during the Cold War for both cargo and personnel. After forty-three years of operation the company was acquired by FedEx in 1988. This article examines the history of the airline.
DB Schenker
DB Schenker is one of the leading globally integrated logistics service providers. It is part of the Deutsche Bahn company and employs in excess 94,000 staff in over 2,000 locations in more than 130 countries. This article looks back at the history of the Schenker company and its success today.
British Trade Unions
Trade unions in the United Kingdom dates back to the early 1800's when the Luddites, who were textile workers, protested against the changes brought about the industrial revolution which saw their employment disappear with the introduction of wide-framed automated looms that could be operated by cheap unskilled labor. This article looks at the...

History of NAFTA
NAFTA is short for the North American Free Trade Agreement. It covers Canada, the U.S. and Mexico making it the world's largest free trade area. NAFTA came into being on January 1, 1994 to reduce trading costs, increase business investment, and help North America be more competitive in the global marketplace.
Indian Energy Demand
In the last twenty years, India's energy demand has more than doubled, but the country has still almost a quarter of its population unable to gain access to electricity. With the nation's government wanting to keep its economic growth as high as it has been in recent years, the demand for energy from industry, will further increase India's demand for energy for at least the next decade.
Advantages of NAFTA
NAFTA created the world's largest free trade area, linking 444 million people and producing $17 trillion in goods and services annually. Estimates are that NAFTA increases U.S. GDP by as much as .5% a year.
Disadvantages of NAFTA
NAFTA has many disadvantages. The agreement has made it possible for many U.S. manufacturers to move jobs to lower-cost Mexico. The manufacturers that remained lowered wages to compete in those industries.
Indian Energy Policies
Over the last twenty years India has become one of the top ten largest economies. In the drive to continue the growth of the country, the government has to address issues that could hinder the rate of expansion that has been experienced so far. To satisfy manufacturing growth the country needs a successful energy policy to ensure supply and future demand. However, there a number of hurdles that must be overcome.
U.S. Regional Trade Agreements
Since the 1980's, the U.S. has been trying to get a free trade agreement with the countries of Central and South America. In other words, the U.S. would like to expand NAFTA's success throughout the hemisphere. Many South American countries are afraid that eliminating tariffs would allow U.S.-subsidized agribusiness to put their local farmers out of business, forcing their people to work for U.S. corporations.
Airborne Express
Airborne Express had an unusual beginning. It was founded as the Airborne Flower Traffic Association of California in 1946 to fly fresh flowers from the state of Hawaii to the US Mainland.

This Year's Annual Retreat
by Emmanuelle del Castillo
From the afternoon of Monday, January 9, 2012, until two o'clock on the following Friday afternoon, Mount Angel seminarians attended their annual silent retreat. This year's retreat master was Archbishop Niederauer from the Archdiocese of San Francisco.
Most of the conferences were held by Archbishop Niederauer and were topics related to the formation of a seminarian into a priest. One point the archbishop made and that David Soares, seminarian of the Diocese of Honolulu, found very interesting is that "Jesus said no during his ministry at certain times; [he] only said yes if it's the will of God." Another point that Clyde Rex Jesalva of the Archdiocese of Portland found interesting is that "the priest has needs."
During this period, seminarians are expected to be silent throughout the week except during prayers and mass. The silence includes even non-verbal communications like social networks and emails. During the times between prayer, mass, and conferences, seminarians are encouraged to concentrate on their spiritual formation. The seminarians that were quoted earlier did some reading about the spiritual life and lectio divina.
All evenings of the retreat started with the exposition of the Blessed Sacrament. After the exposition on Monday, all seminarians participated in a scriptural rosary . On the evening of Tuesday, the college seminarians have the chance to speak with Archbishop Niederauer about the spiritual life and the life of a diocesan priest. On Wednesday evening, the theology seminarians had a turn to speak with the archbishop while the college seminarians had a conference with Father Paschal Cheline, a spiritual director and professor at Mount Angel Seminary. On Thursday evening, all the seminarians participated in a penance service. Friday was the final morning of the retreat.

The Orange Leader
A woman known for her friendly smile and passion for "beautiful things" has officially retired after more than 30 years.
Patsy Herrington, director of the historic W.H. Stark House, celebrated her retirement on Monday afternoon with a celebration of her career while surrounded by family, friends and colleagues inside the Carriage House.
"The W.H. Stark House is such a beautiful place filled with so many beautiful things," Herrington said. "It's been my home away from home for so long."
Herrington began her career with the Stark Foundation in September 1980 when she was hired with the first guiding tour group and to manage the tour. She has been the direct of the W.H. Stark House since 2001.
"There were a total of 25 employees when I started with the Stark Foundation and, now it's a gigantic family," she continued. "The thing I'm going to miss most is the people. That's definitely going to be the hardest part for me."
Herrington has been an integral part of the W.H. Stark House and has helped transition the beautiful house through some very trying periods in recent years.
"Patsy's commitment to the Stark House during and following Hurricanes Rita and Ike, her attention to detail and knowledge of care of the house and its collections brought us through very difficult times," said Walter Riedel III, president and CEO of the Stark Foundation and Stark Cultural Venues. "I am grateful for her seeing us through the restoration and reinstallation."
Reidel's praise for Herrington's hard work and dedication did not end there.
"Patsy has been an integral part and overwhelming influence toward the success of the W.H. Stark House," he added. "I fully understand she is concerned about leaving her 'baby' and its future, but we promise to take care of it and, it is my hope, that we will be able to measure up to her high standards."
Herrington created one of the most popular year events at the W.H. Stark House, the "Holiday Open House," in 2003. The annual event brings hundreds of visitors to the home each night during the two-night event in December.
She loves so many aspects of her job and the home, but she still cannot single out any one as her favorite over the rest.
"I don't have a preference to any one season on how we decorated the house, but I loved it all," Herrington explained. "I loved setting the table in the dining room, but I always wondered if Mrs. Stark would think it was OK or not."
Herrington's retirement from her position at the W.H. Stark House is bittersweet, but she is excited about the future and being able to spend time with her husband, her family and her grandchildren which live out of state.
"I walked through the house on Friday looking at all the things that were special to me," Herrington said. "And I got a little teary-eyed. But it's time for someone else to come in and take charge and bring in some new ideas. I really loved being here but I'm excited about the future too."

Woodward News
Woodward, Okla. — After a night and early morning of rain, some sleet and some snow, the heavier snow began a little before 5 a.m. and continues.
Perhaps a foot of snow or more is expected to fall in the area over the next couple of days and with high wind also expected, blizzard conditions are likely by Monday morning. The entire area is under a blizzard warning until 6 a.m. on Tuesday and travel conditions are geting worse by the minute.
Roads outside of town were described earlier on Monday morning as getting slick and hazardous and in fact the highway patrol has closed or is the process of closing highways in the area. Highwy 412 heading out of Woodward to the northwest is closed.
Woodward Emergency Management Director Matt Lehenbauer said his office had declared a state of emergency in the county due to the storm. "This process allowws for emergency expenditures and acquisitions, mutual aid assistance from local, state and federal resources and is the first step in applying for disaster funding."
In advance of the storm several local and area school districts cancelled classes for Moday.
Woodward, Mooreland, Fort Supply and Sharon-Mutual in Woodward County will all be closed as will Northwestern Oklahoma State University.
In fact almost every school and technology center in the area are closed.
Also closed Monday are the courthouses in Woodward County, Beaver County and Dewey County and the Woodward County Health Department.
Woodward City offices will also be closed, essential personnel such as firefighters and police will be on duty as well as street crews.
So far, though, no major accidents have been reported locally.

Walters, 80, announced that she was having the operation on Monday's show, judays before going under the knife. She said she kept news of the surgery a secret because "I thought it best not to talk about it too far in advance."

JOPLIN, Mo. — When you talk to those who knew Derek Moore, they usually mention his smile.
"Derek was a fun guy," said Missouri Southern State University head football coach Daryl Daye. "He was always smiling. He was always full of life. He had a great smile. He looked kind of like a prison guard, but once you got to know him, he was far from that. He was a big old teddy bear and soft-hearted."
Moore, who was in his first season as Missouri Southern's offensive line coach, was fatally shot Friday night on the parking lot of Joplin's Northstar Stadium 14 theater. The tragedy led to the cancellation of Missouri Southern's homecoming activities and the postponement of its game on Saturday.
An overflow crowd of football players, students, faculty and members of the community attended a memorial service in honor of the 37-year-old Moore on Monday at MSSU's Corley Auditorium in Webster Hall. It was the first time members of the athletics department have spoken to reporters about Moore's death.
"We're here today to celebrate the life of Derek Moore," Daye said. "That's a key word: celebrate. We've had days to mourn, but now it's time to celebrate him. We're here to recall the good memories and the good feelings we have about him."
Moore was remembered as a passionate coach who cared about his players, and as a good father who loved his son, Elijah.
"You couldn't be around Derek more than five minutes before he let you know that he loved his 6-year-old son, Elijah, more than anything else in the world," said Missouri Southern interim President Alan Marble.
Marble said a college fund is being created for Elijah, who lives with his mother in Iowa.
Before Moore's time at Missouri Southern, he most recently had coached for three seasons at Western Illinois University. He coached for 14 seasons overall, and his stops included Ellsworth Community College, Iowa Central Community College, St. Cloud State, Upper Iowa and Northern Iowa.
"He was always laughing and having a good time, but he was intense," said MSSU athletics director Jared Bruggeman. "He wanted to win. He was very competitive, and he drove his athletes to be that way."
Moore was a native of Newton, Iowa, and played football at Morningside College in Sioux City, Iowa. He later earned his bachelor's degree from Buena Vista University in Iowa and his master's degree from St. Cloud State University in Minnesota.
Funeral services for Moore will be Nov. 11 at the Third Reformed Church in Pella, Iowa.
Daye delivered the main speech at the memorial service and tried to express what he thought Moore would have wanted him to say.
"He loved Iowa," said Daye, an alumnus of Louisiana State University. "He'd want me to tell you today that Iowa did beat LSU one time. One time. He'd want me to tell you that he was a good golfer. He wasn't. He'd want me to tell you that he was sexy. He wasn't. He'd want me to tell you that he was the best looking bald-headed coach on the staff, and I'm definitely not saying that one either."
Daye also took time to express the things he believes Moore would say to his players. The Lions are scheduled to play Lindenwood-Belleville at 2 p.m. Saturday at Fred G. Hughes Stadium.
"He'd want me to say that there's no doubt that his offensive line will face this tragedy and turn it into victory, because that's the way he trained them," Daye said. "Tough times don't last, but tough people do. And he taught his kids to be tough.
"This is a tough football team. I got a tough staff. We're going to cry when it's time to cry, and we're going to work when it's time to work. We're going to be an example to these young men in how to be men in life."

Home Box to Trixbox
A little more than two years ago, I built a home phone system using Asterisk and analog interface cards. It has served us quite well, but it is time for an upgrade. In the time since first constructing that system, great strides have been taken in simplifying Asterisk configuration. Asterisk@Home (now called Trixbox) is a system that makes it possible to implement a powerful phone system for work or home using a Web-based GUI. I decided to use Trixbox for my new phone system to see if it has the flexibility to achieve all the features of my current system. This article discusses the installation and configuration of my new home phone system.
I have several goals for the new phone system. The first goal is to be able to call from one part of the house to another. Next, I want to minimize annoying telemarketing calls and direct calls after 10 pm to voice mail, rather than ringing the phones (unless the call is urgent). Because I work at home much of the time, I want to have a VoIP extension to the office system.
Before configuring the phone system, you must assemble it and install the software. Although Trixbox makes this rather easy, I outline the installation process here, so that those who want to try it for themselves will know what to expect.
The first things to consider are the hardware and software pieces needed for this project. I already have an old spare computer to use (a Pentium II 266MHz with 256MB of RAM and 6GB HDD), but I also need an interface card for the phone lines. When I first built my current system, I got a Digium TDM31B with three ports for phone sets (FXS) and one telephone company (FXO) port, which now costs around $350 US. Purchasing from Digium helps support Asterisk, because it is the primary supporter of the project. The last requirement is the system software, Trixbox, which can be downloaded from www.trixbox.org.
The Digium card came configured with ports 1–3 for the phone sets and port 4 for the incoming phone line. Because managing phone interfaces has real-time demands, it is best to keep the Digium device on its own interrupt, especially in older machines like mine. Isolating the card on its own interrupt is usually not very difficult—changing slots and disabling unnecessary devices in the BIOS usually will do the trick. It is worth noting that because of the high interrupt rate of these interface cards, one should not run many other devices or applications with high interrupt frequencies, especially not X11.
After downloading the Trixbox ISO, I burned it onto a CD and booted the system from it. I was presented with a screen that told me that continuing will completely destroy any data on the hard drive. Willing to do that, I pressed Return to continue. The install process asked me to select a keyboard type and layout, a time zone and a root password. There seemed to be some very long pauses between these selections, but the system completed the install and configured the bootloader. At that point, with the base system installed and the network configured, it rebooted.
After coming back up, it retrieved the Trixbox software itself, built and installed everything and initiated another reboot. At reboot, it finished the installation of FreePBX and restarted. These reboots were a bit disconcerting at first, but by this point, the entire system was fully installed and running. However, it did not recognize or configure my TDM card.
One of the main features of Trixbox is its upgradability, so before panicking about the TDM configuration, I decided to update first. After logging in as root, I ran trixbox-update.sh. Twice. The first run updated the script itself and the second updated the rest of the system. After finishing, it told me to reboot the system. That time, all the TDM-related modules loaded, though only wctdm and zaptel were needed. The card was detected correctly, and running genzaptelconf from the command line configured it correctly. At this point, the Trixbox system was installed, up to date and functional.
Networking is configured easily from the command line with the netconfig command. I could leave it with a dynamic IP address, as I have no VoIP phones to connect, but my intention was to remove the keyboard and the monitor from the system and administer it remotely. Doing that is much easier if I know the internal network address of the system, so I set it to a static address and configured the rest of the network settings appropriately. I also changed the hostname of the system by modifying /etc/hosts and /etc/sysconfig/network and rebooting.
After reboot, I opened a browser window and directed it to the static address I defined. I then saw the initial Trixbox screen, as shown in Figure 1. Most configuration is done through FreePBX, which is found by selecting System Administration, entering the maint user name and the password from above (Figure 2) into the pop-up window and then selecting FreePBX. The FreePBX is very modularized, and those modules still needed to be installed and activated before I could do anything with the system. By first selecting Tools from the top menu and then Module Admin from the side, I was at the module management screen. I then selected the Connect to Online Module Repository link to view all the modules available. I selected all the Local modules and clicked the Submit button at the bottom of the table. Next, I downloaded and installed all the Online Modules except for Gabcast and Java SSH.
The final set of modules, shown in Figure 3, is a very comprehensive set of functionality for a small home system. This module management interface also checks to see if any module updates are available whenever connecting to the on-line repository. Those updates can be downloaded and installed easily to keep the system current.

NHL, NHLPA talks come to crashing halt; league pulls everything off the table
December 6, 2012 - 10:03 PM
Talks between the league and the NHL Players' Association imploded in shocking fashion in New York. At precisely the moment NHLPA Executive Director Donald Fehr was saying how close the sides were thanks a new proposal by the players, his brother – union special counsel Steve Fehr – received a voicemail from the league saying it was pulling its entire offer off the table and no negotiations would be held for the rest of the week.
"I am disappointed beyond belief that we are where we are," Commissioner Gary Bettman told reporters in New York. "We're going to have to take a deep breath and try and regroup."
The NHL has already canceled games through next Friday, and it is expected to eliminate at least the rest of December today. Since the sides are essentially back to Square One, it's possible the league could ax even more than that.
"It looks like this is not going to be resolved in the immediate future," Donald Fehr said in Manhattan. "It comes as a disappointment, obviously."
The sides have been far apart throughout the process, and that was never more evident than during Fehr's first news conference of the night.
A large union contingent, which included Buffalo Sabres goaltender Ryan Miller, offered its proposal to a pair of league representatives during a one-hour meeting that began at 5 p.m. Fehr, with players standing behind him in a Manhattan hotel, explained the benefits of the proposal at about 6:45 p.m. He was beyond confident.
"We hope and believe and expect that this should put us on the road for a quick end to this dispute," he said.
Before all the participants had even left the news conference, Steve Fehr retrieved his message. Shock and bewilderment filled the room.
"We feel like it should have been taken as a step toward ending this," Miller, who had just left to catch a flight home to California, told The Buffalo News via text message. "How many concessions can we make?"
League members were asking themselves the same thing.
"We kept negotiating against ourselves," Bettman said. "Anything that we put on the table this week is off the table."
The sides had resumed negotiations Tuesday with a new dynamic. Six owners met with 18 players as Bettman and Donald Fehr stayed on the sidelines. The first day of talks featured partnership and camaraderie.
"That sense of optimism, though, was something that almost inexplicably disappeared Wednesday afternoon when the four owners returned to the bargaining process," Bettman said. "We're at a loss to explain what happened, but things were not of the same tone as they had been on Tuesday."
The nearly nine hours of talks Wednesday featured arguments and offers that were widely off the mark. Owners were set to walk away before being persuaded to stay by the players.
"Negotiations were spirited and passionate at times but certainly not contentious," Miller said via text. "A lot of respect was paid to the owners for good reason."
The league closed Wednesday's meeting with a formal proposal. Their version of a collective bargaining agreement would be 10 years in length, feature a five-year limit on contracts (seven years if a team was re-signing its own player) and included a $100 million increase in "make-whole" dollars, which would reimburse players for money they'd lose as the sides transitioned from an economic system that had players earning 57 percent of the revenues to a 50-50 split.
"[Thursday] we were expecting an answer, a yes or a no," Bettman said. "Our instructions from ownership was … if the answer was no, there was no point in continuing discussions.
"The answer wasn't yes."
Rather than accept or decline the league's proposal, the union crafted a counteroffer that Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said "cherry-picked" bits and pieces that the players liked. The parts the union liked were only available if it accepted the 10-year term and five-year limit on contract lengths.
"Those moves were contingent on the union specifically agreeing on other things," Bettman said. "This collective bargaining agreement is a total package."
The union's offer included the NHL concessions but asked for an eight-year term (with a opt-out clause after six years) and an eight-year limit on contracts.
"This is a package and everything fits together," said Bettman, who had several players filter into his news conference and stand in the back of the room. "Spinning us all into an emotional frenzy over maybe we're close and we're going to be playing hockey tomorrow is terribly unfair to our fans and this process."
Said Toronto owner Larry Tanenbaum: "I am very disappointed and disillusioned. Had I not experienced this process myself, I might not have believed it. Like all hockey fans, I am hopeful this situation can be resolved as soon as possible. I miss our game."

On January 10, 2011, the Brookfield Board of Selectmen charged (CRC) to begin its review and consideration of the Town Charter for a term of 15 months. The nine appointed members of the CRC include: Lawrence Miller (Chair), Joni Park (Vice-Chair), Dorothy Miles (Secretary), Peter Scalzo, David Propper, Susan Martone, Ron Jaffe, Greg Dembowski and Mark Labadia.
The CRC will hold a public hearing on Thursday, January 26, 2012 at 7 p.m. in the Seminar Room of the (WMS) to present its preliminary positions. This is an opportunity for all Brookfield voters to participate with comments at this public hearing.
At on February 3, 2011, the BCRC accepted public comments with regard to proposed revisions to the Town Charter, and comments about certain elements of the Town Charter, which should not be revised. To incorporate all comments presented at the public hearing, the CRC organized a work plan based on three major subject headings: (a.) Form of Government, (b.) Fiscal, and; (c.) Legal/Technical.
In addition, the CRC accepted public comments at its regularly scheduled meetings, contacted all Brookfield boards and commissions for their individual and collective opinions and analyzed the forms of government in other Connecticut municipalities of similar population and annual budgets. Commission members considered other sources of information and presentations by invited guests as useful information as part of the overall process.
Having evaluated extensive sources of information, the CRC has now arrived at the following preliminary positions with regard to the Brookfield Town Charter:
- The CRC firmly believes in the Town Meeting form of government to ensure that the voters will continue to have a strong voice in selecting Brookfield's elected officials, considering policy-making issues, maintaining fiscal accountability and determining the annual budget.
- The CRC acknowledges the leadership and accomplishments of Brookfield's past and present Board of Selectmen; however, it also recognizes that Brookfield has grown significantly in both population and the size of its annual budget since its original Town Charter adopted in 1975. Compliance with various federal and state mandates has complicated the day-to-day operations of municipalities. Consequently, the CRC proposes hiring a Town Manager who is trained and qualified as a professional public administrator to act as Brookfield's Chief Operating Officer in accordance with International City/County Management Association (ICMA) policies and standards. This Charter modification will clearly state that the Town Manager is merely an employee operating under the management of an elected Board of Selectmen.
- Although the CRC considered the concept of consolidating the Board of Selectmen and Board of Finance into a single Town Council, its members agreed to maintain the current Board of Selectmen and Board of Finance structure in order to maintain the current fiscal checks and balances.
- The CRC agrees that quorum requirements, compliance with the Freedom of Information Act, discussions between selectmen of different political affiliations and other encumbrances currently prevent an open dialog and exchange of information between and among the Selectmen. In the interest of efficiency, the CRC proposes to increase the number of Selectmen from three to five. Because of the increase from three to five Selectmen, the CRC also proposes that candidates for First Selectman would run only for the office of First Selectman, and the losing candidate wouldnot become a member of the Board of Selectmen. The two-year term of office for all members of the Board of Selectmen will remain unchanged.
- CRC understands that significant changes in real estate and a reduction in the amount of land for the development of housing sub-divisions have raised the possibility of reducing the size of certain commissions to achieve greater efficiency. Consequently, the CRC is proposing a merger of the Planning and Zoning Commissions into a single commission to manage Brookfield's planning and zoning regulations. The current Zoning and Planning Commissions, each having five full members and three alternates, would be consolidated having eight full members and three alternates.
- The CRC also is considering other changes to the Charter that will be presented for discussion concerning: (a.) budget advisory questions, (b.) threshold of voter petitions, (c.) limits on discretionary spending by the Board of Selectmen, as well as a number of corrective actions, which are viewed as technical in nature without the intent of substantive changes in town operations.
