St. Peter's fills for Pope Francis installation
The blue and white flags from Francis' native Argentina fluttered above the crowd that Italian media estimate could reach 1 million. Civil protection crews closed the main streets leading to the square to traffic and set up barricades for nearly a mile (two kilometers) along the route to try to control the masses.
For nearly a half-hour, Francis toured the square in an open-air jeep, waving and occasionally kissing babies handed up to him as if he had been doing this for years. At one point, as he neared a group of people in wheelchairs, he signaled for the jeep to stop, hopped off, and went to bless a man held up to the barricade by an aide.
The installation Mass is a simpler affair than the 2005 ceremony that launched Pope Benedict XVI's papacy, in keeping with Francis' sober style, but it is still grand enough to draw 132 official delegations and religious leaders from around the world.
Among the VIPs is the spiritual leader of the world's Orthodox Christians, Bartholomew I, who will become the first patriarch from the Istanbul-based church to attend a papal investiture since the two branches of Christianity split nearly 1,000 years ago. His presence underscores the broad hopes for ecumenical and interfaith dialogue in this new papacy.
But it is Francis' history of living with the poor and working for them while archbishop of Buenos Aires that seems to have resonated with ordinary Catholics who say they are hopeful that Francis can inspire a new generation of faithful who have fallen away from the church.
"I think he'll revive the sentiments of Catholics who received the sacraments but don't go to Mass anymore, and awaken the sentiments of people who don't believe anymore in the church, for good reason," said Judith Teloni, an Argentine tourist guide who lives in Rome and attended the Mass with a friend.
Francis has made headlines with his simple style since the moment he appeared to the world on the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica, eschewing the ermine-lined red velvet cape his predecessor wore in favor of the simple papal white cassock, then paying his own bill at the hotel where he stayed prior to the conclave that elected him pope.
During Tuesday's Mass, Francis will receive the woolen pallium, or stole symbolizing his role as shepherd of his flock, and also the simple gold-plated silver fisherman's ring that is a symbol of the papacy.
A wax cast of the ring was first presented to Pope Paul VI, who presided over the second half of the Second Vatican Council, the 1962-65 meetings that revolutionized the church. Paul never wore it but the cast was subsequently made into the ring that Francis chose among several other more ornate ones.
Francis will receive each of the government delegations in St. Peter's Basilica after the Mass, and then hold an audience with the visiting Christian delegations on Wednesday. He has a break from activity on Thursday; a gracious nod perhaps to the fact that the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, is being installed that day in London.
As a result, Welby won't be representing the Anglican Communion at Tuesday's installation Mass for Francis, sending instead a lower-level delegation. All told, six sovereign rulers, 31 heads of state, three princes and 11 heads of government will be attending, the Vatican said.
More than a half-dozen Latin American presidents are attending, a sign of the significance of the election for the region. Francis, named after the 13th century friar known for his care of the most disadvantaged, has made clear he wants his pontificate to be focused on the poor, a message that has resonance in a poverty-stricken region that counts 40 percent of the world's Catholics.
For Jews, Orthodox and other religious leaders, the new pope's choice of Francis as his name is also important for its reference to the Italian town of Assisi, where Pope John Paul II began conferences encouraging interfaith dialogue and closer bonds among Christians.
Pope Francis prays at Rome basilica in 1st outing
The former archbishop of Buenos Aires, Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio, entered the St. Mary Major basilica through a side entrance just after 8 a.m. (0700 GMT) and left about 30 minutes later. He had told a crowd of some 100,000 people packed in rain-soaked St. Peter's Square just after his election that he intended to pray Friday to the Madonna "that she may watch over all of Rome."
He told cardinals he would also call on retired Pope Benedict XVI on Thursday and celebrate an inaugural Mass in the Sistine Chapel, where cardinals on Wednesday elected him leader of the 1.2 million-strong church in an unusually quick conclave.
Francis, the first Jesuit pope and first non-European since the Middle Ages, decided to call himself Francis after St. Francis of Assisi, the humble friar who dedicated his life to helping the poor.
The new pope immediately charmed the crowd in St. Peter's that roared when his name was announced.
Waving shyly, he told said the cardinals' job was to find a bishop of Rome. "It seems as if my brother cardinals went to find him from the end of the earth, but here we are. Thank you for the welcome."
The 76 year old Bergoglio, said to have finished second when Pope Benedict XVI was elected in 2005, was chosen on just the fifth ballot to replace the first pontiff to resign in 600 years. In the past century, only Benedict, John Paul I in 1978 and Pius XII in 1939 were elected faster.
Francis spoke by phone with Benedict, who has been living at the papal retreat in Castel Gandolfo, and was to visit him on Friday, according to U.S. Cardinal Timothy Dolan. The visit is significant because Benedict's resignation has raised concerns about potential power conflicts emerging from the peculiar situation of having a reigning pope and a retired one.
Benedict's longtime aide, Monsignor Georg Gaenswein, accompanied Francis to the vist at St. Mary Major, the ANSA news agency reported. In addition to being Benedict's secretary, Gaenswein is also the prefect of the papal household and will be arranging the new pope's schedule.
Francis' election elated Latin Americans, who number 40 percent of the world's Catholics but have long been underrepresented in the church leadership. On Wednesday, drivers honked their horns in the streets of Buenos Aires and television announcers screamed with elation at the news.
"It's a huge gift for all of Latin America. We waited 20 centuries. It was worth the wait," said Jose Antonio Cruz, a Franciscan friar at the St. Francis of Assisi church in the colonial Old San Juan district in Puerto Rico. "Everyone from Canada down to Patagonia is going to feel blessed."
The new pontiff brings a common touch. The son of middle-class Italian immigrants, he denied himself the luxuries that previous cardinals in Buenos Aires enjoyed. He lived in a simple apartment, often rode the bus to work, cooked his own meals and regularly visited slums that ring Argentina's capital.
He considers social outreach, rather than doctrinal battles, to be the essential business of the church.
"As a champion of the poor and the most vulnerable among us, he carries forth the message of love and compassion that has inspired the world for more than 2,000 years — that in each other, we see the face of God," President Barack Obama said in a statement.
As the 266th pope, Francis inherits a Catholic church in turmoil, beset by the clerical sex abuse scandal, internal divisions and dwindling numbers in parts of the world where Christianity had been strong for centuries.
While Latin America still boasts the largest bloc of Catholics on a single continent, it has faced competition from aggressive evangelical churches that have chipped away at strongholds like Brazil, where the number of Catholics has dropped from 74 percent of the population in 2000 to 65 percent today.
Francis is sure to bring the church closer to the poverty-wracked region, while also introducing the world to a very different type of pope, whose first words were a simple, "Brothers and sisters, good evening."
He asked for prayers for himself, and for Benedict, whose stunning resignation paved the way for his election.
"I want you to bless me," Francis said in his first appearance from the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica, asking the faithful to bow their heads in silent prayer.
Breaking: White smoke appears at Vatican, new Pope selected
A roar of cheers arose from the thousands of people awaiting the signal outside the Vatican.
The 115 cardinal electors began the conclave on Tuesday following the resignation of Benedict XVI, the first pontiff to resign in 600 years. At least a two-thirds majority -- 77 votes -- was required to elect the next pope.
French Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran, the senior cardinal in the order of the deacons, is expected to step onto the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica shortly to announce, "Habemus Papam," Latin for "We have a pope."
Tauran will then reveal the pontiff's birth name and the name he has chosen for himself as pope.
The new pope is then expected to step onto the balcony to greet the crowd gathered below in St. Peter's Square.

The Program in Jewish Gender and Women's Studies offers an interdisciplinary array of courses that allow students to examine the history, literature, image, and culture of Jewish women and men through the perspective of gender. A rich array of course offerings by the regular faculty and visiting professors focuses on Jewish women's history, Yiddish and Hebrew literature, women in the Bible, and other women or gender-centered subjects. In addition, our gender studies seminar teaches students to apply a gender studies approach to all the biblical and rabbinic texts they will encounter, and to raise gender-focused questions in any of the classes they may choose to take in the course of their studies.
Students in the program ordinarily focus on one historical period or discipline while choosing courses from among the many areas of study taught at The Jewish Theological Seminary. They will also take complementary courses in women's studies, feminist studies, or queer studies at neighboring institutions.
The Program in Jewish Gender and Women's Studies (JGW) prides itself on its commitment to combining feminist and Jewish perspectives. It encourages students to bring their creativity into their work, supports women's scholarship, and aims to teach and promote a gendered understanding of all areas of Judaic studies. Student learning is supported by the many feminist and gender-focused activities and organizations associated with the larger nearby colleges and universities of New York City.

netsniff-ng is a high performance Linux network sniffer for packet inspection. It is similar to analyzers like tcpdump, but without the need to perform system calls for fetching network packets. A memory-mapped area within kernelspace will be used for accessing packets, so there is no requirement for copying them to userspace (a 'zero-copy' mechanism). For this purpose, netsniff-ng is libpcap independent, but nevertheless supports the pcap file format for capturing, replaying, and performing offline analysis of pcap dumps. The project is focused on building a robust, clean, and secure analyzer and utilities that complete netsniff-ng as a support for penetration testing. netsniff-ng can be used for protocol analysis, reverse engineering, and network debugging.
Junkie is a real-time packet sniffer and analyzer. It is modular enough to accomplish many different tasks. It can be a helpful companion to the modern network administrator and analyst. Compared to previously available tools, junkie lies in between tcpdump and wireshark. Unlike tcpdump, its purpose is to parse protocols of any depth; unlike wireshark, though, it is designed to analyze traffic in real-time and so cannot parse traffic as exhaustively as wireshark does. In addition, its design encompasses extendability and speed. It has a plug-in system and high-level extension language that eases the development and combination of new functionalities; threaded packet capture and analysis for handling of high bandwidth networks; and a modular architecture to ease the addition of any protocol layer. It is based on libpcap for portability, and well-tested on professional settings.
tcpdump prints a description of the contents of packets on a network interface which match a given boolean expression. It can also be run with the -w flag, which causes it to save the packet data to a file for later analysis, and/or with the -r flag, which causes it to read from a saved packet file rather than to read packets from a network interface. In all cases, only packets which match the expression will be processed by tcpdump. tcpdump logs more than just TCP, IP, or ethernet packets, but has a whole suite of decoders, including ones for USB.

It's one thing to read about the split between Alice Paul and the main suffrage organization at the time, NAWSA. It's quite another to realize that Grandmother Edna witnessed it. An article in the New York Tribune in November following the big 1913 suffrage parade laid out how the New Yorkers headed to Washington, DC for the NAWSA convention. Edna boarded the train with the New York delegation, accompanied by women whose names may be familiar to lovers of suffrage history: Inez Mulholland, Mary Garrett Hay, Elisabeth Freeman, Ida Craft, Mrs. Arthur Livermore, Portia Willis and many others. It would be the national convention where the split between NAWSA's direction and that of Alice Paul came to the fore in its recorded documents.

Kosovo Says No to World Bank's Dirty Coal
Editor's Note: Visar Azemi is the coordinator for the Kosovo Civil Society Consortium for Sustainable Development (KOSID) and a faculty member at the University of Maryland. Before joining KOSID, Mr. Azemi, a Kosovo native, was an electrical engineer.
Leaders, journalists, and civil society organizations gathered at the World Bank in Washington, D.C. this past weekend for the World Bank's annual spring meetings. Halfway across the world, the people of Kosovo were and still are speaking out.
The Republic of Kosovo, nestled in the Balkan Peninsula in southeastern Europe, is home to approximately 2 million people facing an energy crisis. If the World Bank gets its way, our young country will be locked-in to a dirty energy future for decades to come.
The proposed Kosovo Power Project (KPP), a 600-megawatt lignite coal power plant, is slated to be built despite the outcry of the public. Lignite coal is widely considered one of the dirtiest forms of coal, and its use in the existing power plants is already taking it's toll on our people.
In the World Bank's own estimate, air pollution in Kosovo "is estimated (midpoint) annually to cause 835 premature deaths, 310 new cases of chronic bronchitis, 600 hospital admissions, and 11,600 emergency visits." The total economic costs for those health effects are estimated to be as much as 158 million euro annually.
If KPP is constructed, we can expect those numbers to increase.

NORFOLK, Va. (AP) - The Navy is reviewing the suitability of its working uniforms after a test revealed how flammable they are.
In October, a test conducted by the Navy Clothing Textile Research Facility in Natick, Mass., showed the uniforms will burn until they're completely consumed.
The test results didn't surprise Navy leaders. The Navy removed the requirement for all sailors to wear flame resistant uniforms at sea in 1996. But many sailors were still upset about the test results.
On Friday, the commanders of U.S. Fleet Forces and U.S. Pacific Fleet sent a message to their commanders saying that two uniform working groups would review the issue.
The Navy says the primary consideration for both working groups is sailor safety. Navy officials hope to have the group's findings within a few weeks.

Eunice Prieto (American, born 1924)
Bowl with Figures, 1970

"There is a difference between good pottery and ceramics," Antonio Prieto once wrote. "To me, good pottery, besides expressing the character and personality of the creator, expresses the character and potentialities of the materials. I do not think you can separate them and have sound work."1 Prieto hewed to these artistic principles from the time he began studying sculpture at the California School of Fine Arts in San Francisco. He then went on to teach at East Bay institu tions, such as the California College of Arts and Crafts (now California College of the Arts), before succeeding F. Carlton Ball as director of the Mills College ceramics department in 1950. Makers at that time largely relied upon juried exhibi tions and competitions to show their work. Much of the era's production featured reductive shapes with graphic decoration. Prieto was greatly admired in the field and a frequent award winner, particularly for his clean, modernist vases such as the example shown here featuring a register of ornamental fish, sparingly incised and much in keeping with the midcentury influence of Picasso on the arts. The scale on which Prieto worked grew ever larger as he aimed to endow greater visual impact to both vessels and purely sculptural forms. The latter reveal Prieto's attraction to European Modernism and Primi tivism, especially that of Joan Miró. Prieto quickly became a respected art juror and educator who attracted talented students such as Robert Arneson to Mills College. Eunice Prieto, his wife, was a trained ceramist in her own right, educated at Alfred University, the foremost program for such study and where she met Antonio. In 1946, she moved to the Bay Area with her husband and completed an M.F.A. at the California College of Arts and Crafts. For many years she taught, enjoyed throwing at the wheel alongside her husband, and exhibited her own sgraffito-decorated wares.

The Anti Business Plan
I have taught many courses on writing business plans for entrepreneurs. So it might surprise you that I am a believer in the Anti Business Plan.
Yes, it's important to spend time to think through your business idea. Yes, you need to consider who is interested in buying your solution. Yes, you need to figure out how much you want to spend on your start-up costs and how much the product or service will cost you to make.
However, many people get trapped in the theoretical aspects of writing the plan and never finish the plan. So I would rather you spend less time working on the plan and more time on running the business…and going back to the plan and making revisions. The key reason to write the plan is to test and validate your business idea. You don't need 200 pages of charts, graphs and financial projections. And you certainly don't need to spend time researching your ideas without testing them.
So if you had limited time (or patience) and wanted to write the Anti Business plan – here are the core areas that you need to focus on.
Vision Statement
This describes your raison d' etre – what problem are you solving by starting this company? If you are successful in your business, what will change in the lives of the individuals or companies that use your product or service?
While it will probably considerable time to brainstorm and word smith this statement, I recommend that you keep the text under two lines. In addition, make sure your words pack a powerful competitive advantage – someone should be able to read your company's vision and be invested on a personal level and from their pocketbooks.
Mission Statement
This section describes the core values and philosophies of your company. It's the sign you display in your office to remind you why you started the firm and it's the language that will instruct employees, contractors, vendors and anyone who liaises with your firm how they could expect to be treated and how they need to behave.
Don't worry about it being a masterpiece. Keep it simple and powerful and be willing to revise it several times until you have the final statement. Similar to the vision statement, it should be under a few lines.
Marketing Strategies
Assuming that you have done your homework and identified your niche target market (and not 1% of the entire market), you will need to identify 5-7 marketing strategies for your business. How will you spend your time and money this year on telling your market that your company can help them solve their problems?
I recommend you update this section on an annual or bi-annual basis and use it as a goal setting tool for how you'll spend your marketing time and dollars.
Consider the best ways for you to share the message about your company – social media, events, online, offline, etc – and back up your ideas with target goals and numbers. For example, if you want to increase your social media strategy, don't share "I will use social media to create 5,000 fans". The final number is not as important as why you need the 5,000 fans.
Instead identify how you gather the support of 500 of those 5,000 fans to help you communicate your message. It speaks volumes about your business if you are able to get people to share comments and feedback and share the messages about your company with their friends and family – rather than stacking the numbers of people who liked your Facebook Fan Page.
Be willing to refer to this section throughout your year and make adjustments where necessary.
Sales Goals
Connected tightly with your marketing goals are sales goals. Select 5-7 sales goals over a specified time period and share how you will achieve them. Your marketing tells the world about your product/service while your sales convinces people to buy. They are two separate but closely aligned goals.
Start testing your sales goals while you are writing the plan. Many people are often weak in sales and don't realize the amount of time and resources they will need to spend to secure each sale. For example, by using the earlier example of the Facebook friends, you might discover as you are gathering your 500 champions - it really takes 10 people to like your page, 2 who are champions and one who eventually buys your product. Ensure that you factor in the time and resource that it will take to gather that one person
As you start gathering results on your sales projections, review the information three to four times a year to see what you'll need to revise. This makes for a much stronger Sales Goals section rather than selecting random projections that sound good.
Financial Statements
There are many key financial statements I would recommend in a full business plan. However, the Anti-Business plan looks at three key areas
- Your anticipated revenue = how much money you will make from your sales
- Your anticipated expenses = thinking about all areas from technology to marketing to sales calls to professional fees
- Your estimated profit
This statement is really only an estimate. Include every category that you can think of and use templates to give you ideas for the categories. Spend time every six months reviewing your actual expenses and income to see how closely aligned to your projections that you are.
The entire Anti Business plan is approximately 3-5 pages long and would take only a weekend of solid writing and editing. I encourage you to get started and draft your ideas using this template.
Let me know additional questions you have as you are working!

This week kicks off the U.S. press launch for the 4 Series Coupe and 3 Series Gran Turismo (GT) and we're on hand in Seattle for the event.
Here are our pics of a Mineral Gray 428i with M Sport package. The M Sport package for the 4 Series includes:
M Sport suspension standard (RWD models only)
M Sport Brakes standard (also available as stand-alone option on all 435i coupes and optional upgrade on 428i coupe when M Sport is chosen)
M aerodynamic package (front apron, rear bumper/diffuser, side skirts)
High-gloss Shadow Line trim
Estoril Blue Metallic option only available with M Sport
The BMW 4 Series has landed in Canada and we get our first look at the F32 4 Series versus F30 3 Series M Sport, as well as a Glacier Silver M Sport.
The F32 4 Series with M Performance Parts has been spotted again, but this time featuring a never before seen part – exhaust system and tips from the M4 Concept.
BIMMERPOST Member Raja just experienced a once in a lifetime experience with the BMW 4 Series M Sport (435i) and BMW. He was recently by BMWNA to participate in a documentary they are creating on the "BMW Super Fan."
Here is his account of the incredible experience:

A BIMMERPOST was the lucky winner of a contest to drive the BMW 4 Series on the track and road, hosted by BMW and Autoweek. He brings back his experience with us:
Day 1 and Background
Hello all! As I promised everyone I am doing my full write up on the 4 Series Drive that I had with Autoweek and BMW. It was one of the most amazing experiences I have had in my life.. and I am still coming down from the great time I had!

Developed from motor racing expertise, perfectly tailored to the model in question and designed to be combined according to individual preference – this is the BMW M Performance Parts program. BMW is now expanding the range in this product area with the addition of retrofit options for the BMW 4 Series. What is more, model-specific BMW M Performance Parts are available for the BMW M automobiles as well as for the models of the BMW 1 Series, BMW 3 Series, BMW 5 Series and BMW 6 Series. Conceived in close collaboration with BMW M GmbH, the retrofit components in the areas of drive, suspension, aerodynamics and cockpit provide a significant bonus in terms of driving dynamics as well as adding a touch of sporty flair … CONTINUED
Auto Express UK shares their first drive review of the 435i M Sport, which left them with favorable impressions.
On this episode of Ignition Carlos Lago goes to Portugal to test the new BMW 435i. The replacement for the 3 Series coupe, the 4 Series is wider and much lower than the sedan – in fact, it has the lowest center of gravity of any BMW currently on sale. BMW claims it's substantiated the controversial name change by differentiating the 4′s styling and driving dynamics from the 3. They find out if that's the case, and more, with a drive through the beautiful seaside roads in Portugal and a lapping session at the iconic former F1 circuit, Estoril.
We've shown you the 4 Series M Sport in Estoril Blue II and Black, now have a look at the F32 M Sport in Alpine White, showing off the M Sport aero kit lines well.

text: It depends on where you live and your expectations how well a tankless works. They need to be bigger if your winter water temps are low, and bigger yet if multiple things will be running at once. Then, if you water quality isn't great, you need to clean out the mineral deposits from it (like a teapot), or it will get all crudded up. It requires a large gas supply, so yo umay need to upgrade your service and the flue pipe (SS), is expensive, and hopefully, you won't need much to vent it outside. If you search, you'll find all sorts of comments on tankless, most not so good, an occasional lover...as I said, it depends on your expectations and physical plant. The standby losses from a good tank-type aren't all that bad, but the heating efficiency of a tankless might be lower; depends on the model. Also note if you want a trickle of hot water, a tankless may not turn on (this would apply to warm as well as a trickle of hot). Increase th eflow just a little, and then poof, it's too hot.

Participants will learn how to use Picture It and PixWriter available from Slater Software. Picture It is the tool teachers can use to help children experience success with print. It quickly adds pictures to text in sentence format. This pairing of graphic symbols and print helps students understand that letters form words and that those words have meaning. Moving from the concrete (pictures) to the abstract (text) is easier and learning is facilitated. As children learn to read with the support of the pictures, their participation in the classroom increases, and their language skills improve. Teachers simply type in the words that will be included in a document, and the computer does the work of automatically matching the graphics with the words. Words, sentences, and pictures, they can be repositioned on the page and changed in size and style.
"I can write without really writing" said a fifth grader with severe learning disabilities when he first saw PixWriter. This software allows beginning writers to communicate through written language. Even if spelling skills, sound-symbol relationships, oral expression, or fine-motor skills are not fully developed, anyone at an emergent level of literacy can write words, sentences, stories and more. By selecting picture/word buttons that are located at the bottom of the computer screen, whole words are printed, the picture paired with that word is printed, and the word is spoken. All of the composition can be read by the computer. The vocabulary setup is easy to create and can be extensive or limited depending upon the requirements of the task and the abilities of the student. A service provider or parent fills vocabulary buttons located at the bottom of the computer screen. This vocabulary setup is then saved and presented to the child. The child writes words, sentence! s or complete stories by accessing the buttons using the mouse, a touch screen, keyboard, alternative keyboard, or single-switch scanning.
Both programs have many new features which will help teachers and students. It is now easier to import pictures--from photographs to internet images. The file capacity of imported pictures has been greatly increased allowing teachers to have specific vocabularies available for content areas. Picture It now talks since we have rolled our program, PixReader, into Picture It. The addition of voice-output will help many children communicate with low-tech boards, listen to materials repeatedly, and participate in classroom activities. Our library of graphics now numbers over 6,000. The automatic picture matching in both programs means that those graphics reference to over 10,000 words. There are other features, such as the ability to color text, pause speaking, and easier customizing of materials.
Attendees will learn how to use all the features of the programs to make materials which will meet the needs of their students. Simplicity and flexibility combine to make the Picture Power Pack a powerful tool. This lab will be appropriate for educators who are having their first introduction to the software, as well as those familiar with the program but wanting to learn about the new features.

Jeff Mackay had many memorable television roles, including Mac in Magnum PI. How do you remember him?? Add your memories in honor of this American great.
Tribute created by:
Out with the old and in with the new year, I'm celebrating with loving memories of you, Jeff!
1 year, 2 months
happy Valentine's Day, my loving Jeff! <3
I'm hoping all is well while you visit your family at your dad's home for the holidays! Christmas is not the same without you. You continue to be in my thoughts - daily and nightly. I love you, Jeff, SOOOOOO much!
I am so thankful for having you in my life to laugh, love, cry and simply smile. May your holiday be the best in Heaven! Love you SO much! <3
I never met Jeff in person but I did meet him online in some Magnum PI online forums in the late 90's. He was approachable and fans like me appreciated that.
"Time has little to do with infinity and jelly donuts" Jeff. Rest well.
I met Jeff back in Hawaii and we were instant friends till the day he died. John Hillerman introduced us and we all had some of the best times together, including creating "Chef Jeff" cookbook and a treatment called "Pirates". Those were some wild days in Hawaii, California and OK. Love you Jeff...and btw...the buddy passes are in the mail......lol
I wish you were here, in the physical sense, so I can wish you a very happy New Year! I'm starting 2012 with loving thoughts of you in mind (and heart!). Best wishes to you, always. I love you so much!
Just found out you have moved on Jeff and hope you are flying high. You were a good friend to me and thanks so much for typing on your early computer days my entire hand written manuscript of Some Guys. I would dictate many chapters and you just sat there and typed for me the entire book.
Thanks for your kindness, friendship and encouragement....and the public thanks you for all your great work on camera. Will miss you and think of you always.
Doug Dobransky
Just surfing the web and looked up Jeff and was startled and saddened to see that he had left us too early. We often acted together at Oklahoma U., most memorably playing together in Romanoff and Juliet--comical soldiers. He had a real spark and clearly was talented, but he was just a lot of fun, too. Though I went in other, more realistic, directions I always took pleasure in Jeff's successes, remembering always his great warmth and personal charm.

Excellent food and service! – I have tried many Chinese Restaurants in many places. Szechuan Taste ranks very high. I have been a patron for about 10 years and the quality has always been consistantly excellent. I have always been more than satisfied with the food they serve, be it sit-down, or take-out. I have always received prompt, curteous and unimposing service in a pleasent, quiet atmosphere.
My favorite dishes are General Tso's Chicken, Sarm Gop Ti, Happy Family, Buhda's Delight, Wonton Soup and Hot and Sour Soup.

Except I believe WV and MS. Last I heard they do not offer exemptions.
I feel totally overwhelmed by the vax debate and decision. I don't feel like I have the time, energy, and knowledge to make a truly informed choice. I am scared of the vaxes but also the diseases for the most part. With my toddler, I was critical of the vaxes but ultimately got convinced by my doc to do most of them. We skipped Hep B, Pox, and MMR and I think she never finished Hib. Now I am revisiting the issue with my new babe and really wishing I had more time to read. I read Stephanie Cave and started the Sears Vax book but I'd like to read more really anti vax stuff. Mostly I hate all the fear mongering on both sides of the issue. I am frustrated that the $$$ stands in the way of evidence.
It does feel absolutely overwhelming. Frankly, I feel like I just don't have the time and energy to research the subject fully (I see people on here, as a previous poster mentioned, spending almost all their time investigating the issue, and I just have too much else to do!), and try to distill truth from all the noise.
I've just bought Aviva Jill Romm's "Vaccinations: A thoughtful parents guide" based on the recommendations on the Vax board here at the MDC and although I'm only 1/4 of the way through, I'm already simply astonished at what I'm reading. At the things no one ever bothered to tell us. Stuff that should be common knowledge if parents are going to be compelled by the government to vax their kids...
fSo . . now we do nothing and hope that we don't get exposed to polio (because it is in the Amish population a few hours away in Western WI)
Knowing what I now know, it's harder to think of injecting my baby with chemicals than facing all the difficulties associated with non-vaxing.
So what do we consider the difficulties associated with not-vaccinating (or going with a selective/delayed schedule)? (I ask because I'm trying to think through this.) There's dealing with friends and family; dealing with medical professionals; the risks of the diseases. What else?

328 Cases Make Up The Logo In The Courtyard Of The Brewery (Translation)
4 August 2009
The city of Plzen is preparing a promotional video for candidacy for the European Capital of Culture
Plzen 31 .July 2009 - Plzen is preparing for candidacy for the European Capital of Culture 2015. Today they are shooting the promotional video at the brewery; as part of preparations during the morning, a logo for the candidacy was created from beer crates. The building of the logo is part of a project by artists from the Institute of Art and Design at Western Czech University, who are shooting the promotional clip today. To build it, they used 328 crates. The logo took up a big portion of the upper part of the brewery courtyard.
"The spot will be used as official material for support of candidacy for the European Capital of Culture 2015. Young artists from the Multimedia Department at the Institute of Art and Design at Western Czech University are working on it. It can be seen by visitors of the city and of the candidacy website. It will also be included in the supporting materials in the application and will be further used as part of the presentation material," adds Jana Komišová, head of the Department of Public Relations and Marketing of the city of Plzen.
Plzenský Prazdroj supports the candidacy of the city of Plzeň for the European Capital of Culture 2015 and allowed artists from the Institute of Art and Design at Western Czech University to build a logo for the candidacy out of Pilsner Urquell beer crates. The process of building the logo is part of the making of the clip and also part of the promotion of the candidacy. The video will also feature the courtyard in the brewery, the historical Jubileum gate and the filling room.
"Plzen is the beer capital - we say this with a little bit of Czech exaggeration, but of course we are very serious. The title of European Capital of Culture would be nice for a city where the first fermented lager was brewed. Of course, we have been supporting the candidacy of Plzeň for quite some time now and we are happy that the exterior of the brewery can host the making of the spot, "says Jiří Mareček, press release officer of Plzeňský Prazdroj.
Notes to editors:
- Activities involving the Plzen Prazdroj for visitors of the city of Plzen include the visitors' center, visitors' tour, filling room of the brewery and also the Beer Museum and historical underground area of the city center.
- The brewery became a social hub of the region, a place where various cultural, educational, and promotional events take place and it is one of the most attractive tourist destinations in the Czech Republic.
- The Beer Museum in Plzen is situated in the old brewery and was kept in its original state in Veleslavínova Street. It was opened in 1959, for the 100th anniversary of the brand Plzeň beer.
- Every year the brewery and the Beer Museum welcome more than 185,000 visitors from all around the world.

Gabi: Falcao the best 'number 9'
Atletico Madrid midfielder Gabi has hailed team-mate Radamel Falcao as the world's best striker at playing the 'number 9' role and claims the Colombian is happy at the club.
By ESPNSTAR.com staff
Gabi joined Atletico together with Falcao in the 2011 summer transfer window, with both playing an integral part of the club's success last season, leading the Los Colchoneros to 5th place in the La Liga and more impressively, winning the Europa League with a convincing 3-0 win over Athletic Bilbao in the final.
Falcao's impressive performance for Atletico made him a prime transfer target for top clubs everywhere, with the likes of European champions Chelsea, Spanish Champions Real Madrid and Russian Champions Zenit St Petersburg all reportedly keen to sign the Colombian hotshot.
However, Los Colchoneros' captain Gabi has moved to diffuse rumours of Falcao's departure from the club, claiming that despite being the subject of intense transfer speculation, the 26-year-old, whom he describes as the best in the world at playing the role of a 'number 9' striker, is committed to staying at the Estadio Vicente Calderón.
"He is the best No. 9 in the world and everyone wants to sign him," Gabi told Spanish publication AS.
"I have spent lots of time with him - he is my room-mate. He is very ambitious and knows he can achieve things here.
"He is delighted to continue with Atletico... he is very happy to stay with us.
The Colombian forward has managed to carry on his good form from last season to this season, scoring two hat-tricks in the club's first three games and Gabi believes Falcao's blistering form is down to the former Porto striker managing to integrate himself with the team's style of play.
"His confidence is sky high at the moment," Gabi added.
"He has found his best style of play - moving around the penalty area, not coming deep to receive the ball as much.
"The team works a lot so that he is happy and gets the ball."
"His aerial power is brutal; he is the best header of the ball in the world, well ahead of everyone else.
"We try to take advantage of that, to look for him."
Atletico's impressive 4-1 victory over Chelsea in the UEFA Super Cup has also left Gabi bullish for the club's future and the 29-year-old defensive midfielder hopes the team can replicate that form on a consistent basis.
Speaking about the UEFA Super Cup final, Gabi gushed: "If that was not our best night, it was one of our best.
"The team played at a really high level - everything went well for us from the first minute until the last.
"Consistency is now the most important. We cannot hide from ourselves that Atletico play three good games and three bad games.
"We need to focus and take responsibility."
Gabi also spoke of Atletico head coach Diego Simeone in glowing terms, saying: "He gives everything himself and everything must be done exactly to the letter, through hard work.
"This translates on to the pitch, where the team has showed a lot of force and a huge fighting spirit."
Simeone's men will face Rayo Vallecano in their next La Liga fixture and the Argentinian manager will surely be counting on Falcao to fire his side to another victory.

Nike KD VI "Total Orange"
May 31st, 2013 by Brendan Dunne | 6 comments
It was a bit strange to see the Nike KD VI first arrive in that yellow and teal colorway, one that didn't seem to have too much in common with Kevin Durant's OKC Thunder color palette. Making a bit more sense is this, a total orange version of the shoe that's supposed to be in shelves come August 17th. There's even a hint of blue in there to complete the equation although, as you can see above, it gets pushed out the tooling on bottom. See more Nike KD VI pictures right after the jump.

My issue is not so much that I can't uninstall Flash player 11 active X, as it is that Flash Player 11 does not play all flash player videos. In youtube some video's play and some do not, same in Amazon streaming video. The video's that do not play, the screen is green with lines running through it. I am running Windows 7 64 bit, IE 9, AMD Phenom quad core. I will not update Adobe Flash Player until this version 11 player has been repaired. To get around the problem for now, I used my back up and restored back to a safe time. Thanks in advance.
I branched your post off into it's own topic as it's very different from the one you replied to. You could be having a problem with your video drivers. Can you take a look at the following FAQ which gives a few suggested solutions and also details the information we'll need from you so we can investigate further?
How do I troubleshoot and report problems with Flash Player Video?
This Green line issue has happened to me too! it only occured two days ago before Adobe automatically updated. My computer is fine im abdolutely sure.
Intel i7 2600, 16gb ram, 1tb HHD and 60gb SSD with a Phillips 24" Led smart screen connected through HDMI, Windows 7 Premium, 64 bit.
my computer is relitively new only purchased in Feb this year.
this issue of a green line appearing on the top of MOST youtube videos is driving me insane, the colour is also i dont know how to describe it but pushed downwards, leaving a small black and white area just below the green line on the top of the video.
it goes away if i go into full screen mode, but then the videos look crap, all pixelated because some were not intended for a 24" screen for instance.
I tried uninstalling Flash player and reinstalling it, did not work, i even tried downloading and installing Flash player 10 but it would not let me install because "it was not the current version"
can you please tell me how to get rid of the bug or issue please. Flash player 10 was brilliant and worked just fine with no issues at all.
Here are some pictures of some random videos on youtube as proof. they were taken from my HTC Desire HD 8MP Camera. Dont mind the vertical lines from the screen but look at the colours!
some are in normal size and some in fullscreen, can you tell the differance?
Can you provide us with the following?
Browser version
Flash version
specific URL where this occurs
Do you notice any difference if you disable hardware acceleration?
How do I disable or enable hardware acceleration?
If disabling Hardware Acceleration "fixes" the green lines, then updating the device drivers for your display adapter will probably permanently fix the issue; see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765.
After updating the drivers you can re-enable Hardware Acceleration.
I have a nvidia geforce gt 300m graphics card. When I disable hardware acceleration the green line problem goes away. However, there is not update for my driver. It is current. This all started happening with the latest adobe flash update
Hey Guys ,
Sorry about the delay just got around to reading my hotmail messages.
Yes! The disabling of the hardware acceleration fixed the issuse, if it
helps here is additional information for the future.
Once again thank you all for your help!

Chris, Thank you for all of your and your communities support on this issue. I am thinking that I had a malicious software issue or something. After I restored my OS to an earlier time and updated the flash player software to 11,2,202,228, I had no problems at all. It functions fine with or without the hardware acceleration. My system consists of: Windows 7 64 bit, 8GB ram, AMD Phenom 4 core processor, 2 each Lightscribe DVD R/W players, 3.5" floppy disc drive, 2 each 1 TB SATA HDD , GT 450 video card. Thanks again for your help.
Glenn, thanks for the update and that's great to hear!
I'm seeing the same problems with a green line at the top of my Flash videos. The problem started after I updated to Flash v22.214.171.124. I am not having problems with other streaming video formats (e.g. Netflix and HTML5 based videos). I am running Win7 64bit. I'm seeing the problem in Firefox v11 and IE9 but not Chrome. All my drivers are up to date. It seems to be an issue with the Flash plugin, not a driver issue.
Disabling hardware acceleration resolves the problem, but this is less than ideal. Since it only started happening after Flash Player was updated, the issue would seem to be with the latest Flash update.
Hi Ken,
When you have a minute, please see the following post that describes the problem and has a few additional questions for you that can help us out.

As trade show organizers work to keep up with the fast-paced, tech-driven world, this new feature holds the potential to redefine attendee engagement.
What do people want from hotel meeting space? Hotels themselves are as curious about that as anyone - and aren't shy about experimenting with everything from smaller breakout areas to on-demand popup space to plentiful natural light.
A visit to the 10,000-square-foot design wonderland
Your attendees may be skeptical about the value of traveling to your trade show. Your exhibitors may be asking to see a more clearly defined ROI for their booths. Your sponsors may be shrinking their financial support.
At a Convening Leaders education session on the future of trade shows, one undeniable fact emerged: trade show organizers need to prepare for changes ahead. Answer these three questions to make sure you're ready for them.
1) Where Are You?
This seems like an answer that you should know, right? Not necessarily. After so many transitions due to tightening budgets and the lingering impact of economic worries, Francis Friedman, president, Time & Place Strategies, told Convening Leaders participants that it's important to take a step back and make sure they understand their strengths, weaknesses, needs and opportunities.
"It's time to ask yourself, 'do you know what now is'?" Friedman advised.
Think about the current state of your show. What's changed since three years ago? Have you embraced new technology on your show floor? Are certain trends making you worry about what to do next?
2) Are You Getting Social?
New research from the PCMA Education Foundation highlights that attendees and exhibitors alike want to feel like co-creators of a trade show.
"If they feel that they own the show, they will participate," Friedman said.
Establishing that sense of ownership has become easier with social media tools like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. One Convening Leaders participant said that her education association posts a question each day to collect insights and keep their audience engaged.
"It helps us keep our eye on members in a very grassroots way," the participant said.
3) Have You Given Your Exhibitors a Real Voice?
A strong social media presence can keep you showing up in news feeds, but how can you really invite your exhibitors to the table for a conversation about how you can help them? While you may send out a survey to your exhibitors to collect data on how to improve their experience, many organizers struggle to motivate participants to actually return their answers.
"We ask for client input, but getting responses is challenging," another Convening Leaders participant said.
To understand exhibitors' pain points, some show organizers are giving this audience an even bigger voice with Exhibitor Advisory Councils. By giving exhibitors a platform where they can offer suggestions, voice concerns and assume a real partnership role, you can ensure that your show stays relevant and your booths stay full.
