Niagara Gazette
Niagara Gazette — Wouldn't it be nice, as the Beach Boys might sing, if we could all be moderate in today's world–part of the decent, irreproachable, safe middle? But can one always be so? This problem taps into — excuse an unsought pun — the current debate now raging over phone records spying, which has certainly led authorities to some menacing, unsavory types, if not all. "Moderation," it seems to me, also won't work when it comes to the massive fiscal problems of places like Detroit, where despite a marvelous mayor, former basketball star, Dave Bing, the city has now been delivered to an appointed pension slasher et al. And boy, does he want to slash! The immoderate pill is difficult to swallow, but such problems — also evident nearer to home, and thankfully alleviated by the recent casino settlement — don't go away by themselves, nor via tepid measures.
Looking to a wider world, and first, the Syrian civil war, terrible, barbaric atrocities have occurred there on both sides, and you don't know which–Sunni rebels or Shia-Alawite-Hezbollah supporters of Assad–represents the comparatively more innocent aggregation.
One video apparently shows a Sunni triumphantly holding the heart of a slain enemy and tasting it in the bargain. But if you think such extreme behavior is confined only to that region, you must be living in some protected bubble. Heart-eating was common during Mao Zedong's killing frenzy of the late '60s that knocked off over 50 million Chinese (the period given a misleadingly sugarcoated name of "The Cultural Revolution").
In Cambodia of the '70s — another civil war situation in a country like Syria which had been better off under French imperial protection — the Khmer Rouge liked to remove livers of innocent civilians and see how long it took them to die. And yet, we keep hearing the mantra of moderation, as if it will magically repel such barbarity. Unfortunately, with certain types moderation simply won't work.
Politicians fearing that amnesty for over 10 million illegals will alter the U.S. irrevocably, not least politically, and that lavish promises of border security won't be kept, making another huge influx possible, have been derided by such as Sen. Schumer. But these caveats and warnings are partly based on the fact that many of these incomers have known barbarism up close, suffered from it, and in certain cases (who knows how many?) been barbaric themselves.
Yet people who point out such things get vilified amidst this silly, corrosive, outmoded right-left divide on our hands–as outmoded as it became on the eve of Hitler's triumph in 1933. There neither conservatives like Hindenburg nor social-democrats, not to mention German Communists on the far Left, could stop Herr Hitler, partly because they were busy sniping at each other. So-called "moderation" didn't work against the Nazis then, anymore than it did later in 1936, when Hitler's forces illegally militarized the Rhineland and could have been stopped (to the applause of many German generals) by Churchillian boldness.
Instead, "moderates" like Chamberlain and France's prime minister Léon Blum appeased, and to the tune of millions of innocent lives, both civilian and military, drawn from many nations, what a price was later paid! That price was nothing less than World War II in Europe.
Or look at history's revolutions ... In every true revolution (America's fight to separate from England excluded), moderates were eventually kicked to the curb and slain in great numbers, whether we're talking of the French Revolution that brought forth a Reign of Terror, or the Russian Revolution leading to the excesses of Lenin and the far worse ones of Stalin.
Of course moderation can work well when you're in some arcadian, protected set of circumstances. American presidents like Coolidge in the Roaring '20s and Eisenhower in the '50s were right for their basically stable, economically prosperous times. Moderation can work in what one of Voltaire's optimistic characters called the best of all possible worlds. But unfortunately this ain't that place, and especially not today!B. B.

Well sorta, last time I ran into him was at a bar on a friday evening, he's wearing his black jacket and black hat, like you see em in the jewish quarter in Jerusalem, and it was like 10 to 12.
So I said, you live really closeby or something? It's almost shabbath.
He's like: ' lol whatever'
He wasnt taking things too seriously.
Of the three monotheistic religions jewdom is the most unknown.
I've seen so many misunderstandings over in Israel between jews and tourists, it was hilarious.
There's this posh coffeeshop halfway Jaffa road, near the Ben Yehuda area, I like'd going there cos eventhough they charge you fucking 14 Nis for a latte, it was drinkable.
These eastern European muppets are in front of me in the line trying to get a HAMSANDWICH, the jewish dude was jewish american and he explained to them that jews didnt eat pigmeat.
Then the guy goes: oh sorry, how about other meats.
Then the jew is explaining about jewish law that you cant use the meat and the milk from an animal in the same kitchen.
With me standing right behind them making monkeyfaces and scratching my head, the jew nearly lost it and tried not to laugh really hard.

Courier staff writer
---- — OTTUMWA — The Ottumwa City Council is ready to address concerns about the city's process of hiring veterans.
Mayor Frank Flanders requested that the city look at its practice of hiring veterans following a roundtable with U.S. Rep. Dave Loebsack last month.
"Making sure they're aware what positions are available is very important," Flanders said. "One thing we can do, even if it's not within our jurisdiction, is help connect them with the right entity that can help them."
Vietnam War veteran Kenney Matthew Sr. raised the issue at the meeting, saying veterans are given "a dirty deal" when returning to Ottumwa to look for jobs.
Matthew said he was unable to gain a position with the Ottumwa Fire Department after he returned.
"I was over-trained," he said. "They should've hired me anyway, but they didn't. This city has a problem hiring veterans."
According to Iowa Code, veterans applying for civil service positions must be given preference in the form of 5 percentage points added to their grade, which ranks them on a civil service entrance list. An additional 5 percentage points are added if the veteran has a service-connected disability.
But the city cannot automatically hire someone just because he or she is a veteran. The veteran has to be qualified for the job "with or without reasonable accommodation."
City Attorney and Human Resources Manager Joni Keith said she doesn't know how many of the city's 300 employees are veterans — since it would take poring through every employee's application to find out — but one new employee on Monday's agenda is.
The council will vote whether to appoint Ryan Mathisrud, a National Guard veteran, to the position of planner recently vacated by Nick Klimek's move to the department head's seat.
Marty Cremer, director of Wapello County Veteran Affairs, said while he doesn't know what percentage of city employees are veterans or the volume of veteran applications the city receives, he's "all for it."
"Especially after hearing the questions raised regarding city employment of veterans at Congressman Loebsack's meeting, it would be interesting to actually see what those statistics are," he said. "If we've got a qualified veteran, I'd love to think that that veteran at least gets a consideration for any position they're applying for."
Overall, Cremer thinks veterans have at least the same difficulty finding jobs as do non-veterans.
"Possibly the difficulties affect them a little more, I think, because these people are coming back from service, especially the ones in the Middle East, and everything at home has been disrupted by them leaving," he said. "They're trying to put things back together and then they've got to get back out in the workforce."
He hopes that the jobs service members left behind when they were deployed have been saved for them once they return.
"But I also know companies have to keep moving on, I just wish that when people come back home, even if they have replaced their former position, I wish they would create a position for them to let them get their lives back on track," he said.
But there are programs in town that veterans can take advantage of, including counseling and testing at the Iowa Workforce Development's veterans services department.
The council will also discuss extending the time limit on citizen input at council meetings. Currently, an individual is allowed to address an agenda item for three minutes at most, but Flanders wants to extend that to 5 minutes, following meetings where citizens speaking out against the rezoning of the Ottumwa Veterinary Clinic were cut short.
"When they do go a little over time, as long as what they're saying is relevant to the issue and not redundant, they should have the chance to finish what they're saying," Flanders said. "I felt really badly when one of the council insisted the rules be followed strictly and individuals were not able to finish what they wanted to say when they still had points to make."
In 2010, the ordinance was changed to reduce the time for citizen input to three minutes, he said.
The proposed ordinance changes would also give the mayor or a council member the right to limit citizen input to three minutes if there's a large group of people who want to speak on an item.
"But I don't think I've had, at any time when I was mayor, too many to speak to reduce to three minutes," Flanders said.
Several individuals speaking on the same issue could also yield their allotted time to one spokesperson, who would be limited to 30 minutes or less.
"What it comes down to is the citizens' rights to not only free speech but to redress their government over issues they are concerned by," he said. "Whenever that's curtailed, it's not right because we work for the people."
Finally, the council will discuss the estimated cost of including an additional sidewalk on the up-river side of Market Street Bridge during its upcoming overhaul.
The council will meet at 5 p.m. Monday in council chambers at City Hall. The meeting will air live on GO-TV, cable channel 6.

Am I not looking or did no one start a discussion of the MTV video music awards?
Am I not looking or did no one start a discussion of the MTV video music awards?
The horror of Miley Cyrus caused everyone to delete that show from their memories.
Miley Cyrus is amazing and she is ALL OVER the internet and news today. Yeah, she looked and acted a fool but she is getting more press and word-of-mouth than any of the other artists and that includes the big names who opened and closed the show...Gaga and Perry. Miley just released another great single (Wrecking Ball) and she is probably going to ride this wave of attention to another hit single and a #1 album in October. She knew what she was doing and it worked perfectly. Well played, Miley, well played...
"Michelle would never be caught with sausage grease staining her Vera Wang." - rfisher
why can't she keep her tongue in her head? she looks like a giraffe, especially with those hellboy hair horns
I feel like I'm in a dream. But it can't be a dream because there are no boy dancers!
Miley Cyrus was blah, but I think some of the outrage was hilarious, especially from Mika Brezinski. However, I have to commend Miley for getting people to talk about the VMAs.
I found Miley hilariously sad. She looked a child acting out, hoping someone would notice her. And Robin Thicke was basically ignoring her.
She's all over tv and internet but as a punch line, not as an outstanding artist that blew everyone away with how great it was. I know the entertainment business believes that any publicity is good publicity, but would anybody really prefer to be known as the joke of the month instead of kick-ass musician? Miley's performance was pathetic!
I did not see the whole show; just bits and pieces on CNN. I thought whatever she did was disgusting. Music appeal to one's higher feelings, but somehow many celebrities prefer to appeal to their lowest low.
She made Mr. Seaver look like a dirty old man.
My favorite part of Miley's performance was the crowd shots; during the Justin Timberlake/Nsync and Bruno Mars performances, everyone was up dancing and singing, yet during Miley's, everyone was stone-faced and some looked like they were trying to hold back laughter.
Miley was way over the top for me personally, she could have done those numbers without being all slutty ..... but guess she's got the last laugh on everyone. She is all anyone is talking about, which I assume was her goal all along.
I don't have cable, so I have only seen Miley's performance. Honestly if she kept her tongue in her mouth it wouldn't have been half as bad (still pretty bad though). Was she trying to be sexy? I'm not sure what that was supposed to be.
And when did performer's stop wearing pants?
Also- Johnny Weir tweeted in was horrible. When HE thinks a performance is over the top awful/outrageous, you know you've gone too far.
ETA: Sometimes less is more. I liked the performance by Macklemore and Lewis (and Lambert and Hudson).

I didn't really get what Miley was trying to accomplish besides trying to shed her Disney image once and for all. Honestly I wonder if she would have been better off going in a different direction as an artist- I recall seeing an interview once where she revealed she doesn't even like pop music and is more into rock. With her throaty voice that would seem like a better genre for her (something akin to Paramore maybe). Right now she comes across as a Ke$ha wannabe, IMO.
The obvious comparison is to Brittney's coming of age performance in the gold lame body suit. But Brittney – at the time – had a smokin' hot body and didn't do the weird tongue antics. Miley's body is okay but not good enough to make something like this work. She would have had to go a Bjork route and do more quirky and less slutty to have a hope of pulling something unusual off. Epic fail on her part.
What would Jenny do?
Brittany looks downright covered compared to what Miley was wearing...
Also, Brittany didn't behave like a lunatic on stage. That was really what got me more than the outfits. But I also don't know what the hell twerking is, so maybe that is what 'the kids these days' are all doing?
I went to look and see what is known as tweaking and I was not impressed on single bit. Looks like "shaking your booty" taken to the next step --looking like a bitch in heat and trying to entice a male to help you out.
Crazy about sports!

Police are seeking the public's help to identify and locate the man pictured above who they say robbed someone at a store at the Walt Whitman Shops in Huntington Station last month.
Police said a man was in the Apple Store, located at 160 Walt Whitman Road, when he felt an unknown man put his hand into the victim's jacket pocket in an attempt to steal the victim's wallet on Jan. 13 at 4 p.m. The two men struggled and the suspect gained control of the wallet that contained cash, police said.
The robber fled the mall in a 2008 white Toyota Camry, police said.
The robber was described as black, in his 30s to 40s, 5-foot-10 to 6-feet tall, and 170 pounds. He also had a goatee.

Musician MC Hammer performs during the Dreamforce 2012 conference at the Moscone Center on September 19, 2012 in San Francisco, California.
Rapper MC Hammer took to Twitter Saturday to comment about an encounter he had in Northern California with police that ended with the musician in handcuffs.
Hammer was arrested Thursday at 10:20 p.m. while at the Hacienda Crossings Shopping Center in Dublin, east of Oakland.
Dublin Police Services Sgt. Herb Walters said Hammer was arrested on suspicion of obstructing an officer in the performance of their duties and resisting an officer. He was cited and released.
Police did not say what sparked the incident, but the musician spelled it out in a series of tweets.
From MC Hammer's twitter feed:
When asked to comment on the rapper's version of the arrest, Walters wrote in an email, "We patrol the area of Hacienda Crossings Shopping Center, especially at nighttime hours. That is about all I can say for now."
Hammer is an Oakland native and currently lives in Tracy.

Newtown Police Chief Michael Kehoe didn't mince words in his message to the White House.
"Ban assault weapons, restrict those magazines that have so many bullets in them, shore up any loopholes in our criminal background checks," he said in an interview with NBC News.
In the interview, Kehoe spoke frankly about what he saw at Sandy Hook Elementary School on the day in December when 20 children and six adults lost their lives in one of the worst school shootings in U.S. history.
Newtown's Police Chief said the shooter was carrying heavier firepower than his officers. "We never like to think we're outgunned in any situation we're dealing with," he told NBC News.
Since the shooting, Kehoe has taken an active leadership role in his response. A week afterwards, he issued a statement to the community assuring residents schools were safe and police were hard at work.
"Our police, fire, and emergency medical personnel reacted quickly and without hesitation, rapidly responding to Sandy Hook Elementary School," he said. "Their professionalism was heartwarming to witness; our community is proud of them."
More recently Kehoe and the Newtown Police Department have been working to ensure officers have access to health benefits and leaves of absence as they recover from their work on December 14 and afterward.
Kehoe's message comes as the advocacy group Sandy Hook Promise launches a nationwide campaign for change in the wake of the shootings. Gun control remains an option on its agenda, as U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy told reporters.
"We have to fundamentally change our approach," co-founder Tom Bittman told press Monday. "It's not just what government should do. It's not just what I should do. It's not just what you should do. It's what we should do together."

UPDATE 10/19/12 @ 12:33 a.m.
GREENUP COUNTY, Ky (WSAZ) -- Kentucky State Police say a woman seriously injured a Greenup County Sheriff's deputy when she hit him with a car.
It happened just after 8 p.m. Thursday on State Route 207.
A woman was driving south on SR 207 when she hit both the sheriff's deputy and a tow-truck driver, who were responding to a separate vehicle crash.
Greenup County Deputy Matthew Smith was taken to Our Lady of Bellfonte Hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries, according to Kentucky State Police. Deputies tell WSAZ.com that Smith has some scrapes and lacerations, but is expected to be okay.
The tow-truck driver, Lloyd Caudill, was treated and released with no injuries.
KSP says alcohol does not appear to be a factor in the crash. There is no word if any charges have been filed.

CUMBERLAND — The commissioners for Allegany County were informed on Thursday that the their website had been awarded an A+ rating from the Sunshine Review, a nonprofit organization that ranks state and local government websites based on their level of transparency.
Known as the Sunny Award, the A+ ranking, which is the highest possible grade, places the county government's website among the top 1 percent in the country.
Commissioner Bill Valentine made the announcement of the 2012 award at the commission's meeting at the County Complex on Kelly Road on Thursday.
"That's wonderful. This is real good news," said Michael McKay, commission president.
Valentine said that all of the commissioners have maintained that transparency is of great importance.
The Sunshine Review grades state and local websites by using a checklist, which measures what content is available on government websites against what should be provided.
"I believe our commitment to transparency is working. Let's continue to get those A pluses," said Valentine.
The county government received an A- grade in 2011.
The citation on the Sunny Award stated that Allegany County was being recognitioned for one of the most transparent government websites in America by scoring in the top 1 percent among 7,000 state and local websites analyzed by the organization.
Sunshine Review's "Transparency Checklist" analyzes websites for information about budgets, meetings, elected and administrative officials, permits and zoning, audits, contracts, lobbying, public records and taxes.
Garrett County received an A- grade while other counties in Maryland didn't fare as well. Washington received a B, while Caroline and Somerset counties received a D and F, respectively.
Dedicated to educating the public about proactive disclosure of government data and other open government initiatives, the Sunshine Review began monitoring governmental websites in 2008.
Allegany County Administrator David Eberly said that two staff members had been instrumental in the county receiving the Sunny Award.
"Let's recognize Bretta Reinhard and Beth Thomas for all their hard work in helping to pull this together," said Eberly.
Baltimore City and County both received a B grade, while Montgomery County received B- from the organization.

From a hitting standpoint, walks are a really good thing. The whole focus of "moneyball" is the enhanced importance of getting on base. From a pitching standpoint, I think walks can be tolerated if they are exchanged for fewer hits and more strikeouts. The Twins, for many years, have been composed of low walk, low strikeouts starting rotations, with less than wonderful results. Other teams have tolerated more free passes in exchange for weak contact and missing bats. Back to the offensive side of the ledger, Minnesota is sixth (IIRC) in OBP because they are getting the second most walks per plate appearance and they are in the middle for run scoring despite being dead last in homers, and twelfth in OPS.
I agree the walks are nice but he's just taking too many pitches and not knowing what to go for and getting lucky (it seems). However, I like that I'm seeing fewer swings and misses and more fly/ground outs. Yes, they're still outs but he's getting his bat on the ball a bit more often. To me, this will lead to more hits. I wonder though, did it seem like the last couple of pitchers were pitching him a bit differently? When he would get two strikes I would say "ok here comes the junk pitch which he will swing at and miss", but it didn't really happen with Peavy and Floyd.
Over 75 PAs, I'll take the young guy who is hitting .100 with a 15% walk rate every time over the young guy with a .400 BABIP and a 3% walk rate. One of those guys is going to start trending upward and the other is inevitably going to trend downward.
Hicks is starting to show meaningful improvements. It hasn't shown up in the stat line but if he continues down this path, he WILL be a productive major league hitter sooner rather than later.
I was thinking the same thing. I watched both games this weekend and saw him come back from 0-2 and 1-2 counts to draw walks I was like dang. It's a very small sample size but he didn't look scared at the plate like he did in some of the games even a week ago.
My thoughts since bringing him up and he struggled those first couple games was well, you gotta give him at least six weeks and see if he can turn it around. Hopefully this week was a sign of things to come from him and he can start getting the barrel on the ball to go along with these walks.
Haters gonna hate, if Hicks wants to be a long term leadoff man we definitely want him taking as many walks as possible, with his speed those walks often times will result with him on 2nd base, or if they don't steal could score on any double.
His walk rate and low strike out rate is a sign that he is getting more confident at the plate, the hits will start coming, they always do.
The cool thing is, if he is able to bounce back this season and turn it around then he will have the confidence in the future should he ever experience a slump again as well.
People forget that Hunter in his "rookie year" had a .217 BA and a sub .600 OPS through his first almost 200 at bats, the Twins ideally will show Hicks the same patience and it will pay off down the road.
So he took the night off (the last game Mastro played) and spent extra time in the cage with Bruno instead, to get back to the hitter he had been last year and in spring training. So far so good. Even his outs have been well stroked. And he's taking his walks. Hopefully it translates into more success.
One thing that is really odd about all his walks (he's second on the team in walks) is, normally when a guy is below the Mendoza line, pitchers don't bother to waste pitches on him. For example, when Butera was forced into everyday duty, pitchers just said "here it is, hit it" and he did, flying out at a prodigious rate. So why didn't they challenge Hicks more? Because advanced scouts noticed how he was swinging at balls out of the zone, so the pitchers kept throwing him those pitches. Now that he's taking them (and the umps aren't calling them anymore), pitchers will need to challenge him more. And he should have better pitches to hit.
Still skeptical. Walks are great, more a sign that pitchers can't throw strikes than anything he did. He hasn't even made good contact for a long time. I don't get why pitchers aren't just pounding the zone and making him beat them with a hit. I still have serious doubts about his ability to put the bat on the ball. Maybe a more patient approach will help... or he'll just get behind in counts and see ****ty pitches to hit.
On the other hand, the fact that he's walking at such a high rate indicates that the pitches he's laying off of aren't in the strike zone. It's not like he's sitting up there with the bat on his shoulder watching strike three repeatedly. He's taking what pitchers are giving him and getting on base. He's showing much better recognition and laying off borderline pitches with two strikes. That's a very meaningful development.
Right now pitchers are throwing enough balls that he's able to coax walks, but that's going to change. Given his sub-.100 batting average, pitchers are going to start attacking. Will he be able to take advantage and start mounting some legitimate numbers? If he continues with his current approach, absolutely. The guy had a top 5 OPS in the Eastern League last year, it's not like he can't hit.
I think his plate discipline has definitely improved, but it hasn't translated into success - yet. The next few weeks will be interesting. Now that he's not hacking at stuff in the dirt, pitchers will start changing there approach. We'll see if Hicks is able to adjust to their adjustments.
The PAs over the past 4 games have a little something for everyone: for those seeking encouragement, he definitely has shown flashes of the plate discipline that was always a strength throughout his minor league career. For those convinced he needs to go back to the minor leagues, there has been precious little solid contact when he does swing. My take: there's not enough information yet to believe in either case. As I said week 1, let's reassess around June 1, and see where he's at.
It's all well and good to think this is a lost season where there isn't a chance but right now we're 1 game back. Until we are truly out of contention we should be playing to win and starting a player who is hitting .059 is not going to get us to the playoffs. If the Twins fall from contention there will be plenty of time for Hicks to come up and show that his beginning to the season wasn't representative of his real performance levels.
But "taking a lot walks" is not, in and of itself, a useful or reliable skill. That Aaron Hicks has been walked 9 times in 60 plate appearances is better than if he were just flailing away up there. But it's also an extremely small sample size, and it results from the fact that this guy is terrified to swing the bat. Occasionally, pitchers will have control issues and walk guys they don't want to walk. You see pitchers get walked in the NL once in awhile. But by and large, if they aren't afraid of you as a hitter, MLB pitchers will get after you.
Simply put, there is no way you can dress up Hicks' performance thus far as anything as a complete disaster. He has 9 walks, but only 3 hits. If he were swinging enough to have more hits, he would have even more than the 21 strikeouts he has (which is a pace of about 205 per season, for a LEADOFF hitter).
His batter's eye does look pretty good. But the walks don't excite me at all because being selective at the plate and working deep into counts is only useful if you have a good contact rate also. The "gestalt" of his "selective" approach is still a .259 OPS. Still early, but just saying...
I was watching some kids swing bats in the cages at Nevers/Larkin in Eden Prairie a couple days ago, and I saw something familiar. One of the kids couldn't seem to reach the ball with his bat, even though he was stepping in and turning his shoulders pretty well. What he was doing wrong was in his hips.
People talk about "keep your weight back," but sometimes they forget to mention that you still have to shift your body forward into the swing. The difference between the two is kinetic. The weight-back observation is really referring to the posture you try to maintain through the swing, which is to stay centered over a strong base in your legs. However, at the same time you must generate power off the back foot, which requires driving forward off that foot, then turning your hips.
Problem in the hip turn arise if the center of rotation of your hips shifts to the wrong place. As you move your lower body forward, you must ensure that the center of rotation of your hips is over your front leg. If the center of rotation drifts to your middle (belly button) or your rear hip, then something awkward happens. The rotation looks okay, but your torso moves away from the plate. This is what I call "doing the French Mistake," a reference to an hilarious dance number in Blazing Saddles. If it looks like you're pushing your butt away from the plate, then all the energy of your swing goes away, and you also lose the ability to reach any pitch from the middle of the plate outwards.
In a healthy, powerful swing, the rear hip comes through after the bat whips around. In fact, your rear foot may actually come forward to the inside of the plate, even with your front foot. Just like a throw. After all, you're supposed to throw the end of the bat at the ball. Anyway, Aaron Hicks has been doing a bit of a French Mistake on his swing. He's keeping his weight back, but he's not shifting his mass forward, and he's not really following through with the rear half of his body.
Um..."the last week" has been all of three games for the kid. I'm a bit disturbed that people are ignoring sample size. It was right to cite sample size when he was struggling but to ignore it after a few games of a better approach is a tad silly. Look, I'm optimistic on Hicks but there is a lot of talk in this thread that seems inconsistent in perspective.
From the right side his swing looks fairly smooth and together. From the left side I see him falling back instead of shifting his weight. His plate coverage and power seems effected by this.

I figured since the stock drivers have 25 years on them, I might as well pick up a set and at least see how they compare. Not knowing the history of the speakers also came into this decision. I was actually surprised to see how they were packaged and thought that more care would have been given but they seem to have survived., not the way I would have packaged them.
I will take room measurements before and after and also right at the speaker. What distance from the speaker is ideal to measure with REW for the speaker itself?

Prices Spike, but Don't Worry; It Won't Last
The CPI grew at its fastest rate in nearly four years last month, but it was mostly due to gas prices.
The Labor Department reported on Friday that consumer prices rose in February by the fastest rate since 2009. Last month, the consumer price index grew by 0.7 percent. That's up from zero-percent price growth in both January and December.
However, it's not time to worry about out-of-control inflation just yet. The uptick was driven in large part by gas prices, which grew by more than 9 percent from January to February. Excluding energy and food prices, which tend to be volatile, the so-called "core CPI" grew by a much more tame 0.2 percent.
Because of the large contribution from higher gas prices—which everyone can see as they pass the gas station—the bump in the CPI did not startle economists.
[ENJOY: Political Cartoons About the Economy]
"The sizeable increase in CPI inflation was not surprising, given the sharp uptick of prices at the pump, which peaked towards the end of February," writes Michael Dolega, economist at TD Economics, in a commentary on the data this morning. He adds that the spikes are not here to stay.
"With gasoline prices moderating into the first half of March, next month's report should see a correction due to the volatile energy component," he adds. Translation: when gas prices level off, so will the broader measure of price growth.
Lower price inflation appears likely in subsequent months as well, says another economist. "The consumer price outlook looks relatively modest," writes Chris Christopher, director of consumer economics at IHS Global Insight, in a commentary this morning. "Pump prices are expected to fall and food price increases seem well under control."
[READ: Worst Commutes: NYC, San Francisco...Louisiana?]
He adds that these lower prices should help American workers to deal with their smaller paychecks due to the end of the payroll tax cut.
In addition, there is another nugget of good news in the report: low food price inflation. Food prices grew by only 0.1 percent last month and were only up by 1.6 percent over the prior year. Last summer's drought had sparked fears of higher food prices in early 2013. Thus far, those higher prices at supermarkets and restaurants do not seem to have materialized.

CARTHAGE, Mo. —
A stand-off over money donated for Jasper County's "shop with a deputy" program was resolved today during a Jasper County Commission meeting. Commissioners approved a proposal allowing the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge No. 27, a regional organization of law enforcement officers, to serve as a conduit for the money.
The agreement will allow Jasper County deputies to move forward with the program set for Dec. 15, Sheriff Archie Dunn said after the meeting.
"My employees are very glad to have this settled and we appreciate the FOP for stepping forward to help," the sheriff said.
Under the pact, more than $23,000 in funds previously given for the program will be made available, with an accounting of expenditures to be provided to the commission on or before Jan. 31. The commission earlier had ordered the benevolent account for the sheriff department closed and the panel and Dunn had been unable to reach an agreement on how the money would be spent.

Beshear Stiffens Penalties For Texting While Driving
FRANKFORT, Ky. — Motorists in Kentucky could lose their licenses for repeated offenses of the state's law against texting while driving.
Gov. Steve Beshear announced a change Wednesday under which the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet will assess "penalty points" against the licenses of drivers convicted of texting behind the wheel.
Each violation would mean the loss of three points. The Transportation Cabinet could suspend the licenses of adult drivers who accumulate 12 points and of minors after seven points.
Beshear said while cell phones have made people's lives and jobs easier, they have also been irresistible distractions to drivers.
Kentucky has had a law since last year forbidding people from sending text messages while driving.

February 2013 Issue of Linux Journal: System Administration
Digital Duct Tape
I've had enough system administration jobs to know that companies tend to take drastically different approaches to how they handle technology. Some companies budget extensively for their server infrastructures, and others have old workstations with box fans cooling them for servers. Whatever the server room looks like, things inevitably go wrong, and it's the job of the sysadmin to save the day. Sometimes that means a quick hack to get things going temporarily, and sometimes it means elaborate planning and scheduling for maintenance and replacement. That's the thing about system administration—you have to think on your feet and come up with solutions on the fly. It can be exciting, terrifying, stressful and rewarding, all at the same time.
This is our system administration issue, which always is one of my favorites. Rather than diving right into the sysadmin stuff though, Reuven M. Lerner starts things off with SQLAlchemy, which acts as a bridge for your Python objects to "talk" to an SQL database. It's a powerful Python module, and if you're using Python with an SQL back end, you'll want to check it out. Dave Taylor, on the other hand, continues his series on creating a shell script to play Cribbage. Dave has a great way of tricking us all into learning things by using fun objectives. We certainly don't mind.
Remember when I said that Kyle Rankin got me started with Raspberry Pi hacking? This month he covers setting up the smallest colocated server you'll probably ever see. Kyle has a Raspberry Pi sitting in a data center rack in Austria, and he walks through preparing the little server for remote-only administration. Because the RPi lacks many of the features server-class machines usually have, a lot of planning goes into the preparation. Even if you don't plan to set up a Raspberry Pi server, it's a great article.
My column this issue hits much closer to home. If you have a fancy new Android tablet, but you're struggling to use is as much as you'd like, you're not alone. This month I tackle my Nexus 7. At first I struggled to do much more than play Angry Birds with mine, but after a lot of effort, my tablet is a useful tool at work as well as a fancy toy. Those of you struggling to find their tablet's niche may benefit from my experiences.
Jeramiah Bowling addresses virtualization this month. Using ConVirt, he shows how to manage multiple virtualization architectures with a single tool. If you want to manage Xen and KVM side by side, it's worth checking out. In fact, with the paid version of the program, it's even possible to manage VMware hosts! Having the ability to look at different virtualization back ends with the same client makes comparing performance much easier.
System administrators like things to be easier, and so this month, Adrian Hannah teaches how to use Fabric, which is a tool for administering dozens of machines simultaneously. Whether you want to remove files from your entire server farm or install a package with its dependencies on a whole rack of servers, Fabric can make it a one-step process.
Andrew Fabbro and Aaron Peters both describe how to make Linux play well with others. They have drastically different takes on the subject, however. Andrew walks through the steps of getting Linux up and running in Microsoft's Azure cloud. Why would a person want to do that? Well, for the same reason geeks do many things: because they can. Aaron, however, solves a problem we're all a little more familiar with, and that is how to connect your Android tablet with your Linux system. Although many tablets are unable to plug in to a system with USB for file access, there are many, many ways to connect with Android, and Aaron explores a bunch of them.
We tried to cover a wide variety of system administration topics this month, not just only the traditional geek-in-the-server-room scenarios. As technology infiltrates every aspect of our lives, even those folks without the slightest desire to manage a data center must have at least rudimentary administration skills in order to function. For those hard-core sysadmins out there, if you're anything like me, your bag of tricks is like Mary Poppins' bag—there's always room for more. We hope this issue will be as useful for you as it has been enjoyable for us to create. For now, I need to leave—there's a server somewhere that needs to be turned off and turned back on....

Hi, its fastidious post on the topic of media print, we all know media is a impressive source of facts. source
I would like to get
I would like to get subscription but 12 Digital issues for $29.50 is insane pricing.
Oddity with the poll
Did anyone else find it odd that Ubuntu/Debian was as high as it was, 61%? And that Suse doesn't even rate anywhere (I don't run it, but I thought it was popular in the business world). In the business world for servers, good bad or indifferent, Red Hat owns the market share. Every company I've worked for and my colleagues work for have the same deal: if it is going to be production, you deploy RHEL with paid support, which makes the managers happy. Red Hat didn't get to be a billion dollar company by only holding a 24% market share, which means the poll is not representative of actual market share. It seems that many of Linux Journal readers may not be professional *nix SysAdmins. I say that for several reasons not the least of which is the poll number that almost half respondents only have 1 Linux host?? And, almost half use the GUI to administer their system(s)?? That means, unless they deploy Webmin (and that wasn't broken out in the poll), they are deploying X Windows on a server-a definite no-no in my world. All of that points to home server use or very small business user. And that's fine, those users wouldn't spend money on a RHEL subscription anyways. But it isn't representative of real world. I know that a lot of business use Suse for that reason. Also, if you run Oracle on Linux, you are more likely to run Oracle Linux (a RHEL clone) since doing so saves you a good chunk of change with processor licensing. Yet that wasn't anywhere in the poll. I was also interested that CentOS and/or Scientific Linux didn't rate anywhere. We use RHEL for production but CentOS for the development and test versions of the production system. Saves a boatload of money and since CentOS is a binary compatible clone, what works in test/dev will work on the production RHEL instance.
This is not to say that I don't have Ubuntu servers (or that *buntu servers aren't out in the business world), I do and they are. I just don't think it's anywhere near 61% the poll seems to indicate. I work for a medical collage with a research department and have many flavors of Linux and UNIX-even an old SCO box on an old Acer server (I didn't even know Acer had servers until I came here!). But the really big stuff, important stuff that causes a lot of problems if they go down, stuff that is under regulatory compliance rules are always on paid support, and even though Canonical offers paid support, so far, only Red Hat wins out for those types of systems. I know many companies that do the same, except run SLES with support.
Maybe on the next poll like this you can ask a question like: Do you use paid support for your servers and if so, which one do you use?
Anyone one else notice that? Or am I wrong about how much server share Red Hat really has? Or, since I've only worked for large companies with hundreds of Linux/UNIX systems, am I the oddity?
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.
Stackato private Platform-as-a-Service technology from ActiveState extends your private cloud infrastructure by creating a private PaaS to provide on-demand availability, flexibility, control, and ultimately, faster time-to-market for your enterprise.

Taking your child to the doctor for an allergic reaction, an ear infection, or labored breathing is only one type of visit. Many parents view this well-child visit as a time for scheduled vaccinations and to see how much your child has grown in the past few months.
However, well-child care also is a chance to raise questions and concerns about your child's development, behavior, and general well-being — questions that are difficult to discuss during sick visits. For instance, pediatricians are used to discussing common concerns with parents such as eating, sleeping, toilet training, social behaviors, as well as attention and learning problems. Having regular well-child visits with your child's doctor and raising the concerns that matter most to you are key ingredients in helping the doctor know you and your child, and in forming a reliable and trustworthy relationship. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Department of Research recently conducted 20 focus groups with parents and 31 focus groups with pediatricians and pediatric nurse practitioners to gather recommendations about how to make the most of the well-child office visit. From these sessions, four themes emerged:
"In our study that included parent and pediatrician focus groups, we found that both groups felt an ongoing, continuous relationship between family and pediatrician was a first requirement for high quality care," said Lane Tanner, M.D., FAAP, associate director, Division of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics at Children's Hospital and Research Center in Oakland, Calif. "That continuity of care helps build trust, and that can lead to better communication at the well-child visit."
Creating a list is another way to ensure you get all the information you need. Jotting down three to five questions and bringing them to the visit will help you focus on your issues of concern and start the dialogue with your pediatrician.
"Any question that reflects your concern about your child's development, behavior, sleep, eating or relations with other members of the family is appropriate," suggested Martin T. Stein, M.D., FAAP, professor of pediatrics at the University of California San Diego Rady Children's Hospital. "Asking what you can do to help your child's development and learning is probably the best question."
Other ideas include researching Web sites, pamphlets, and books that describe age-specific developmental skills and typical issues your child may be experiencing. Knowing what to expect makes the new feel more familiar (and less scary).
"Talk to others who may care for your child — the other parent, a grandparent, child caregiver — and ask for their input. They may notice something different to offer a new perspective," Dr. Stein offered.
According to Dr. Tanner, parents shouldn't hesitate or feel embarrassed to share information that further opens the doors of communication. "As your child's most important advocate, you have valuable information that will help your doctor better understand your child and your family," he said.
Immunizations are a big part of the preventive care visit, but talking about other topics can be helpful. Pediatricians also address safety in the home and at the playground, optimal nutrition, toilet training, and environmental concerns such as lead paint exposure.
A lot of first-time parents like me may not realize that they can ask about any and everything related to the care of their child — medical or not.
"I recommend talking about what you see as either a special trait or a concern about your child," Dr. Stein explained. "This helps your pediatrician get to know you and your child on a more personal level. And pediatricians also like to know how much you appreciate their care. This helps build a stronger bond with your family. We can all use positive feedback!"
The AAP developed a set of comprehensive health supervision guidelines for well-child care, called Bright Futures, for pediatricians to follow. Its mission is to promote and improve the health, education, and well-being of infants, children, adolescents, families, and communities.
Some pediatricians send out reminder cards for these planned appointments, much like dentists' offices do for semiannual cleanings. This was one of the recommendations that emerged from the focus groups.
"Well-child care is so important," stresses Dr. Tanner. "Taking your child to the doctor when he or she is feeling under the weather is simply not enough. The AAP recognized the need for a schedule of visits to the pediatrician because when you know a visit is approaching, you can prepare for topics of discussion. Starting the dialogue can lead to a healthier life for you child overall, and that is the ultimate goal."
Visits can include physical measurements, patient history, sensory screenings, behavioral assessments, and planned procedures (immunizations, screenings and other tests) at the following suggested intervals:

WENDELL — Shayna Jones is as quick with a word as she is with her studies.
The East Wake School of Integrated Technology's Class of 2013 valedictorian hopes to be able to parlay that gift of gab into a career in journalism, either as a reporter or as the host of a television news show.
She'll get an early start on studies at East Carolina University where she'll major in communications and minor in business. After graduating from East Wake High School in just three years. She is one of two EWHS valedictorians graduating this year in just three years, joining School of Health Sciences valedictorian Daniel Duttman in that category. Jones says she hopes to eventually transfer to New York University, close to where her father lives.
Jones, the daughter of Sonya Columbus of Wendell and Christopher Jones of New York City, says she knows she's going to miss out on some of the fun aspects of high school, but she says she's also ready for what the future holds.
"I think I'm ready. All my peers will be helping me and I'm not shy about asking questions," Jones said.
It would be hard to use the word shy to describe Jones. The outgoing valedictorian finished atop her class with a 4.375 grade point average. She has embraced classes that made her step out on her own a little. She points to a virtual enterprises class that required students to work in teams and develop business plans for a start up business. The students then had to present those plans in a series of competitions, including one her team won in Virginia.
"I really enjoyed it. It was so hånds on. It was really a proud moment. We were the underdogs. Because of where we were located we weren't among the favorites. No one knew anything about us. It ended up being very nice.
Even classes that challenged her academically made her want to do better. After she got a C in Algebra II, she decided to retake the class to do a better job mastering the concepts.
That kind of competitive spirit also helped propel Jones when it came to vying for the top academic title in her school.
"After I heard it was a possibility, I started working toward it. Other than that, I wouldn't really have been looking for it," Jones said.
