King John: A Burlesque
SCENE IV. -- The Field of Battle -- France.
A retreat sounded.
Enter King John, Arthur, Elinor, and Hubert, L.
¶K. John. (R.) You shall stay here in safety, Arthur lad,
270Why what's the matter? pray don't look so sad.
¶Good mother, can't you just amuse the boy,
¶I thought I gave him sixpence for a toy?
(Elinor takes Arthur aside, L.
¶Come hither Hubert -- Hubert step this way,
275Hubert, you're looking deuced well to-day.
¶Hubert, I think I owe you something -- stay,
¶That paltry debt -- I'll square another day.
¶But, Hubert, I'm ashamed to fiddle-faddle,
¶And say how I respect -- Hubert, your daddle.
280Hubert. (Comes down, R.) I'm sure your majesty, quite proud I feel,
¶And ever am prepar'd to serve with zeal,
¶I'm truly grateful, and the little debt --
¶K. John. Hubert, my friend, I've not half paid it yet;
¶But you shall have it all -- (Feels in his pocket.) Some other day,
285Hubert, my friend, I had a thing to say.
¶But let it pass -- the sun is shining bright,
¶To suit my purpose, it had needs be night,
¶If where we stand could be a railroad tunnel,
¶As if we looked at Tartarus through a funnel;
290If you could only scent what I propose,
¶Yet let it not smell rankly in your nose,
¶If you could, or if I -- Hubert my lad
¶Who made that coat? -- indeed, the cut's not bad.
¶Hub. Great king, you know I always lov'd you well,
295Then why not in a word your wishes tell? --
¶Why roll your troubled eye about its socket?
¶My lord, your heart is in your breeches pocket.
¶Though it would cost my life, what is't you need?
¶I'll do your bidding --
300K. John. _You're a friend, indeed!
¶But Hubert, Hubert, Hubert, throw your eye
¶On that young lad, that now is standing by;
¶I'll tell you what, my friend, that boy I feel,
¶Is, in my path, a piece of orange peel,
305And wheresoe'er I tread he'll throw me down,
¶And if I fall, you know. I crack my crown, (Taking out his snuff -- box.)
¶You are his keeper -- are you up to snuff?
¶Hub. I am. I'll keep the urchin safe enough.
¶K. John. Remove him --
310Hub. He shall die!
¶K. John. Egad, I feel
¶So merry, Hubert, I could dance a reel.
¶What shall I give thee?
¶Hub. _What you please.
315K. John. Then let it --
¶Stand over, gentle Hubert, till you get it.
¶Madam, farewell, which means you'd better go.
(Exit Elinor, L.
¶Arthur, this gentleman, I think, you know?
320He shall remain, and wait on you -- good day,
(Exit Arthur, L.
¶As you perform the job, so I will pay.
SONG -- John.
Air -- "I've no money."
325I've no money, but you see,¶You can always trust to me,¶Hundreds I can borrow;¶Oh, should I be king, and he¶Be kept under lock and key,330What great reward 'twould be for thee,¶I'll pay you all -- to-morrow.
(Exit King John, R. Hubert, L.
¶Herald. I would not stand sir in your royal shoes,
¶K. John. _Oddzooks, Pooh! Bother.
335I should have heard the tidings from my mother.
¶Herald. My lord, your mother's dead.
¶K. John. _Thunder and lightening!
¶Have you come here your Monarch to be frightening,
¶Who brought these troops from France?
340Herald. _Dread Liege, the Dauphin.
¶K. John. I'm giddy -- You may order me a coffin.
Enter Faulconbridge L.
¶Now what's the news?
¶Faul. _My lord, the baron's roar,
345That you have lock'd for ever Arthur's jaw.
¶K. John. Bring them before me. I've a plan in train,
¶To gammon all the barons back again.
¶Faul. I'll seek them out.
(Exit Faulconbridge L.
¶K. John. (To Herald.) Go after him; to be
350A ready messenger, 'twixt him and me.
(Exit Herald L.
Enter Hubert, R.
¶Hub. To night, my lord, they say twelve moons were seen,
¶Three pink, three orange, half-a-dozen green,
¶And in addition to this crowd of moons,
355There have been five and twenty fire-balloons.
¶K. John. Oons! -- moons! -- balloons!
¶Hub. _The people in the street,
¶Shake their heads frightfully, whene'er they meet;
¶And he that speaks, doth grip the hearer's button,
360While what he says the other chap doth glut on.
¶I saw a boy, standing beside a wall,
¶Buying some oysters, natives, at a stall;
¶And as he swallowed all the news, a lad
¶Snapp'd up the open oyster that he had,
365The while a pickpocket, joined with the rest,
¶Seizing his coat-skirts with an anxious zest,
¶And with the news that Arthur died to-day,
¶Cut off his tail, and with it cut away.
¶K. John. Why do you bother me about the youth?
370It was thy hand that did pluck out his tooth.
¶Hub. Here is your hand and seal for what I did. (Producing warrant.)
¶K. John. You were too quick to do as you were bid,
¶I did but hint and nod.
¶Hub._ But, sir, I think
375They say a nod is equal to a wink;
¶And as the question it is no use blinking,
¶I read your nod, and did your will like winking.
¶K. John. Had'st thou but shook your head and made a fuss,
¶Or, to your nose, put up your finger thus;
380I should have been abashed, but, oh, for shame,
¶You did the deed, we neither dared to name.
¶Hub. Great king, you've slander'd nature much in me,
¶For though a rough and blunt old file I be,
¶I'm like one of those gentlemen on town,
385Who strut in bear skin jackets up and down,
¶Who tho' wrapped in formidable skin,
¶Are precious soft and harmless chaps within.
¶Young Arthur lives!
¶K. John. _Does he? forgive my haste,
390Well, now I look you're not so ugly faced.
¶Rage blinded me -- good Hubert, let's be cronies,
¶Why, damme you're a regular Adonis! Exit Hubert, L.
¶I'm sad, my gloom even my robe betrays,
¶But 'tis an old one, one of other days.
SONG -- King John.
Air -- "The light of other days."
¶The robe of other days has faded,¶_Its gloss has from it past¶For dust with little specks has shaded,400_The stuff too fine to last.¶The robe of velvet made of cotton,¶_For wear much better pays;¶But, alas, how shabby this I've got on,¶_The robe of other days.405The coat that is not worth a stiver,¶_An old and worn-out thing;¶When touch'd with black and blue reviver,¶_Like a new one up will spring.¶You may dye the coat of one that's needy,410_Of stuff as coarse as baize;¶But the robe is done for when 'tis seedy,¶_The robe of other days.
Exit L.

Thursday, April 24, 2014
By Kelley Bouchard firstname.lastname@example.com
Staff Writer
Nearly 12,000 people died at the Augusta Mental Health Institute from its opening in 1840 to its closure in 2004.
A postcard shows the former Maine Insane Hospital, later called the Augusta Mental Health Institute. Nearly 12,000 people died there over the years; little is known about where they were buried.
Press Herald file
Peter Driscoll, executive director of Amistad, a nonprofit serving the mentally ill, said he asked a legislator about state funding for the memorial because fundraising has been slow.
2012 Press Herald file/John Ewing
The AMHI Cemetery Project is raising money to design and erect a permanent memorial to the 11,647 people who died at the hospital during its 165-year history, many without recognition. To make a contribution, send a check, made out to the project, in care of Amistad, P.O. Box 992, Portland, ME 04104.
Where they were buried is a shameful mystery, advocates for the mentally ill say, because no burial records were kept and only a handful of graves have been found in a nearby cemetery.
Now, the Maine Legislature is considering a bill to appropriate $50,000 to erect a permanent memorial to the lost souls of AMHI on the grounds of the former state psychiatric hospital, overlooking the Kennebec River.
The bill's advocates and sponsors say they realize that their request comes at the time when the state faces multimillion-dollar revenue shortfalls, but they believe the people of Maine have a collective obligation to rectify a long-ignored wrong.
"It's a tiny sum to convey an important message," said Rep. Terry Hayes, D-Buckfield, one of nine legislators sponsoring L.D. 613.
"This is the final tribute to a very large group of people who might otherwise be forgotten," Hayes said. "If we don't ask for something, we won't get anything. Sometimes it takes more than one ask. It might be funded over time."
The State and Local Government Committee will hold a public hearing on the bill March 11.
Hayes said erecting a memorial would promote understanding of mental health disorders, which affect one in four American adults. The bill is personally important to Hayes because her mother, who had bipolar disorder, was a patient at AMHI in the 1960s and 1970s, though she didn't die there.
"As a child, I visited my mother at AMHI and I can tell you, from my perspective, it wasn't very fun," Hayes said. "I think it's very likely that the hospital's lack of concern for people who died there was not intentional, but it was insufficient."
The names of 11,647 people who died at the hospital during its 165-year history were culled from dusty ledgers and old files by a group of volunteers organized by Amistad, a Portland nonprofit that serves people who have a mental illness.
The AMHI Cemetery Project started 13 years ago after Karen Evans, an advocate who had been a patient at AMHI, learned about the prevalence of unmarked graves at U.S. psychiatric hospitals and ongoing efforts to recognize more than 300,000 forgotten dead in other states.
Nearly all 11,647 names of people who died at AMHI were read aloud during an emotional, daylong, rain-soaked ceremony on the hospital grounds in 2005. Several names were removed from the list at the request of family members.
With permission from the Maine Legislature, the remembrance list is posted on the website of the Maine Department of Health and Human Services. It's also published in a book that's displayed in the lobby of the Riverview Psychiatric Center, which opened next to AMHI in 2004.
Last year, the project group launched a campaign to raise at least $50,000 for a memorial, hoping to build on a $10,000 lead donation from the Elsie and William Viles Foundation, headed by 97-year-old philanthropist Elsie Viles of Augusta.
But fundraising since then has been slow, so Peter Driscoll, executive director of Amistad, reached out to Hayes, a guardian ad litem who had worked with him in the past.
Driscoll said he understands that it might be difficult to allocate $50,000 for a memorial when the state is struggling to pay other, more pressing bills, but he thought it was worth a shot.
"We're giving the Legislature an opportunity to correct an oversight that's existed since 1840," Driscoll said. "We're not pointing fingers of blame. We want to work together to address an unfortunate oversight once and for all."

Three composers are united around the transcendental theme of human death. This theme inspired Mahler, Shostakovich and Wagner to compose pages of subdued music and overwhelming sounds. The Kindertotenlieder (Mahler, 1901 to 1904) is a song cycle based on poems by Friedrich Ruckert. Each illuminates a different aspect of tragic loss. In his Fifteenth Symphony (1971), his last, Shostakovich describes a musical journey 'from the cradle to the grave'. In this alternately dramatic and serene work, he also quotes some telling passages from Wagner's operas. The latter has of course been included in the programme too, with excerpts from Tristan und Isolde, in which true love transcends death.
Tickets from € 10.00 to € 45.00
The celebrated Italian contralto Sara Mingardo returns to the Flanders Opera following the Stabat Maters by Pergolesi and Vivaldi. She sings the solo part in the Kindertotenlieder. Dmitri Jurowski continues his engagement as chief conductor, which has frequently won him acclaim: 'To the delight of the audience principal conductor Dmitri Jurowski commits himself to the music so that the Flanders Opera Symphony Orchestra shines yet again' (Cutting Edge).

Greater Oklahoma City is in the geographic center of North America equidistant from the east and west coasts and major trade partners of Canada and Mexico. The ten county region is at the crossroads of the U.S., sitting at the heart of three major national highways on the NAFTA corridor.
There's a reason Greater Oklahoma City is such a great place for business: Location. The ten county region is positioned within a day's drive of the rapidly-growing south-central region (OK, TX, AR, LA) projected to grow more than 44% during the next 25 years.
Explore the counties and cities of Greater Oklahoma City including major employers and higher education. The ten county region boasts an average commute time of 20 minutes and a skilled workforce over half a million strong.
"There are several factors, including easy commutes, quality of life, value of the dollar, great schools, entertainment, etc. But I think that Oklahoma's best resource is the same thing that makes it a great place to start and grow a business. It's the people - hard-working and honest - which is very important to any business, regardless of the industry."
- Chad Richison, CEO, Paycom
Oklahoma City experienced the pain of losing a General Motors production plant three years ago, in a healthier economy when there was a more optimistic job outlook.
Many cities face that situation today, after Monday's announcement that GM will permanently close nine more plants and idle three others to trim expenses under the company's bankruptcy protection plan.
GM filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Monday as part of the Obama administration's plan to shrink the automaker to a sustainable size and hand over a majority ownership stake to the federal government.
Some here theorize it was better to lose the plant in 2006, when the state's economy had more of a chance to rebound.
"It certainly was a good thing that it happened when it did," said Roy Williams, president and CEO of the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber. "If that would happen today, it would have a much more significant impact because we don't have the job growth."
Closing Oklahoma City's GM plant in 2006 created a ripple effect beyond the 2,400 employees who lost their jobs, said Robert Dauffenbach, associate dean of the University of Oklahoma's Price Business College.
The job losses were equivalent to a year's worth of growth, he said.
Nationwide, GM's plant closures will displace 18,000 to 20,000 employees, the company said.
'Lemons into lemonade'
Here, cooperation between the city and county ensured the vacant Oklahoma City GM plant did not sit idle for long.
The 3.8 million-square-foot production facility in south Oklahoma City was purchased by Oklahoma County and leased to Tinker Air Force Base for the price of $1 a year.
Oklahoma County voters approved a $55 million bond issue in May 2008 that allowed the county to purchase the shuttered plant from GM.
Purchasing the building, now called Tinker Aerospace Complex, helped to ensure that Tinker Air Force Base will continue to call Oklahoma City home.
Tinker employees are busy transitioning the facility from an automobile production plant to an aerospace maintenance and repair center, Williams said.
"We turned lemons into lemonade," he said.
"We had the opportunity to create nearly 3,000 jobs in that facility, even more than were there with GM," Williams said.
Mayor Mick Cornett said he visited the Pentagon a few months ago and the reactions he received were encouraging.
"The military is thrilled to have the opportunity to expand and build inside that facility," he said.

Guest post by Beate Schwirtlich
What Happens When A Seed Germinates?
The whole purpose of starting seeds indoors is to cheat winter a little.
Ironically, even as we cheat nature, we must imitate her. Light, soil, water, air, and a basic understanding of the process of germination are all you need. Once you know the simple things a seed requires, starting them indoors won't seem half as complicated.
Seeds are their own energy source, a plant in embryo form. They store energy in a form that is released and used only when water, oxygen, soil, and a close-to-ideal temperature are a part of their surroundings.
Until then, they remain dormant. Germination inhibitors are part of the make-up of every seed. They actually prevent a seed from germinating until its chances of survival are good. Usually chemical in nature (five per cent of seeds are simply waterproof, dormant until their seed coat cracks), germination inhibitors put a seed into dormancy. Without these, a tomato seed, for example, would spout right inside the fruit of the plant that formed it, where there is moisture and warmth, good conditions for germination. Inhibitors give a seed time to travel away from the parent plant, and allow it to overwinter, or be stored, giving that seed the best possible chance to reproduce successfully and to spread. Germination inhibitors 'wear off' over time, allowing a seed to sprout the next year.
The seed coat or outside of a seed protects it during dormancy. Hidden inside that coat is the radicle or beginning of a root, the hypocotyl or beginning of a shoot, either one or two seed leaves or cotyledons (the seed's food supply), and the epicotyl, which will become the first true leaves. The seeds of some plants have a second food supply, called the endosperm. Plants with one cotyledon are called monocots. Those with two are dicots.
Spring like conditions soil that's wet and beginning to warm up, and longer days and stronger sunlight signal the seed to break dormancy. Light triggers germination of many small seeds, while other seeds germinate best in darkness. Some seeds prefer warm temperatures, others cold. Such differences are a reflection of biodiversity. Simply, plants native to areas with warm conditions produce seeds that germinate best in warm soil, while those native to cold places prefer cool soil.
Know what conditions your seeds naturally prefer, and try to emulate them.
Water does two things to a seed. First, it activates enzymes that stimulate the release of food energy stored during dormancy. Second, it splits the tough seed coat open so that oxygen gets in. Energy stored in the cotyledon 'burns' and is used only in the presence of oxygen, powering the seedling's cells as they begin to divide and grow. This process is called respiration.
Soil holds the water and air that a seed needs to respirate. Too much water drives out air pockets in soil. Don't over-water. Without air, seeds can't use their stored energy through respiration. Never let seeded soil dry out. Without water, seeds can't use their stored energy.
This stored energy only lasts so long. That's why a sprouting seed works so hard to break the soil and unfold into the light quickly. It's also the reason that germination of many seeds is triggered by light. If a small seed germinated in a moist but dark environment, it might run out of energy before ever reaching the soil surface. But if a seed needs light, it won't germinate until it's close to the soil surface. That way, it has a chance to survive. But before a seed begins to grow up, it grows down, anchoring itself with a root, the first life to emerge from the seed coat. The root allows the spout to begin to absorb water and food from the soil.
A seed can only store so much energy. That's why smaller seeds must be planted shallower, larger seeds deeper. Little seeds planted too deep will exhaust themselves and die underground. Large seeds can easily dry up if planted too shallow. Really small seeds should just be pressed onto the soil surface.
Next, the shoot begins to grow, splitting the seed coat even more. Soon, the growing shoot pushes the seed leave(s) above the soil. They unfold, sometimes still wearing their dried up seed coat on their tips. As the root continues to grow, a bud will appear between the seed leave(s). From this, the first two true leaves will grow, enabling the plant to begin to photosynthesis, the production of energy using light.
Lacking light, seedlings will compensate by shooting up towards the light source and becoming 'leggy' and weak. Provide lots of light twelve hours a day. Use a south-facing windowsill, or good artificial lighting.

For the first season, the show will focus on of Momofuku's David Chang - who in the trailer we see country-hopping, cooking and eating with some other food notables like Peter Meehan and Harold McGee. No doubt prodded by the public's ever-worsening deitization of chefs, the show seems to promise a deep exploration inside the minds of various toques to an exhaustive degree. Hell, who knew that besides cooking, David Chang also loves to travel, hit golf balls, cook with rotting bananas and eat bologna sandwiches with Aziz Ansari?! Watch a preview of the upcoming show here. [via Eater]

Witchcraft's improving image in popular culture and fashion (NY Times)
""The witch is the ultimate bad girl," said Carly Cushnie of the design team Cushnie et Ochs, who riffed on the Salem witch trials in the fall collection she unveiled last month. "You want to be her." ... It's a concept, all right. Witchcraft and its moody expressions — long weedy hair, peaked hats and pointy boots — have attained a strange cachet of late. ... "The witch is a strong character," Ms. Rayne said, "encompassing what it is to be a woman: powerful and sometimes terrifying.""

pftp allows you to send and receive files and directories recursively, send and receive standard input and ouput, filter your connection, set the net buffer size, set the bandwidth, send UDP datagrams unicasted, broadcasted, and multicasted (which is meant for AUDIO and VIDEO streaming), send data to another user and manage that data, perform a network test based on either UDP or TCP, and use optimized buffers for your Gigabit Ethernet links. pftp can start from command line, as a daemon, or by inetd. All features are supported for IPv4 and IPv6.
Sharity mounts shares exported by Windows, Samba, and other SMB/CIFS servers in the file system of Unix computers. It implements Resource Browsing, which is similar to the Windows Network Neighborhood (Netbios Workgroups and Active Directory), NTLM, NTLMv2, and Kerberos authentication, Microsoft's Distributed File System (DFS), and manipulation of Access Control Lists (ACLs).

It's come to our attention that due to the IP-based blocking on the polls, larger organizations are having problems casting votes.
Edit: This is because part of our voting security is IP-based, and many large organizations (Microsoft and the CBC, among others) only 'show' one IP address.
If you are having problems voting, leave a comment here and we'll input them manually. Alternately, you can vote from home, whichever is easiest for you.
Our apologies for this inconvenience.
Edit: If you are voting in this manner, please include the company you work for, or include your company email address so that we can confirm people aren't double voting. Thanks.
We've devised a new solution using the Website Toolbox.
We're dispensing with existing votes–as several people noted, they weren't remotely accurate. Additionally, because we heard requests from several people, including the blogger himself, we moved one blog from Best Personal Finance Blog to Best Financial Industry/Investment Blog.
The major impact of this change is that now you can only vote once. We know that most blog contests enable you to vote once per day, and that was our intent, but we're too stupid to make that work this year. We apologize for the delay and confusion–we didn't anticipate the complexity or popularity of our little awards.
Each category has its own entry on our blog. To keep you in suspense, we'll be adding which award receives which prize next week. Voting will now close at noon PST on February 16. Here are links to all the entries:
Before I get into where we're at, I wanted to apologize for the issues we've been having. I applaud anyone who's succesfully run a blog voting thing before. Kudos to you. We've been through nearly half a dozen tools since we launched (in addition to the 20 I pre-vetted before I went to Napa) and nothing's quite fit yet.
We think we may have found one that will, but we want our users to demo it to make sure it'll survive the hammering it's bound to take.
So, please test out this poll in your browsers, make sure it's not multi-counting votes and make sure it's reliable. Thanks!
Tom Hanna has been nice enough to setup a Business Blogging Awards blogroll. This will let you stay up to date on all the participants, as well as finding some useful and cool new blogs.
It is available as JavaScript, OPML (so you can insert the list into your aggregator), RSS and PHP.
Before we boldly go and select a voting solution, we need to do some load testing. I've created a quick test poll using BlogPoll (and there's another one on my home page). Anybody who's by this page, can you try the following:
•Check the results.
•Check the results again. Did your vote appear to count?
•Immediately try to vote again. Could you?
Thanks for your help. Hopefully we can evaluate whether this system a) works and b) can handle the load. Please report back on any anomalies.
Incidentally, that's supposed to read as 'closet', not 'closer', but you get the idea. The vote form seems to be a bit buggy under Mozilla, but I think it's page-specific. If you can't select an option above, try this page.
Thanks for your comments, I've closed that poll.
We're still working on opening voting on this badboy. We tried various solutions, and were optimistic about SurveyMonkey, but it doesn't seem able to restrict voting as it promises. Apologies for the continuing delays.
UPDATE: Still working on it. I'm glad we're not the only blog awards site having difficulties. Apparently it's harder than we figured.
Voting is now officially open for the Business Blogging Awards. Thanks to everyone who nominated the blogs, and to the judges for their assistances in assembling the final nominee lists.
We've endeavoured to make things as simple as possible. Here are the basics:
•There are 20 categories.
•You can vote in as many categories as you like once a day. You don't have to vote in every category.
•Voting will close at 12:00 PST on February 9, 2005.
UPDATE: Sorry folks. We're getting reports of voting irregularities, which we want to check out before things run for too long. So, we're going to take the page offline to ensure that a) we're not as dumb as we fear we are or b) some phr3aky hax0r isn't messing with the page. Apologies for the dodginess (this always seems to happen with these blog awards) and we'll definitely have an update by the end of the day.
Thanks to everybody who submitted nominations. We're now going to have the judges vet the nominees. We'll be announcing the nominated blogs and opening voting on January 26 at noon PST.
The next 24 hours is the last period for nominations. Get them in while you can!
Robert Barac has been kind enough to put his "considerable design skills" to good use, and has created another series of buttons for the Business Blogging Awards. You can get them all at his site.
Collect them, trade them with friends. The person with the most buttons at the end of the competition gets a prize. Like, I dunno, a free pretzel or something.
We're doing very well on the nominations. We're still accepting nominations for any category. Just post a comment or email us.
I've just done some analysis and wanted to mention some categories which are short a few nominees. Ultimately, we may end up dropping a few categories, or the judges will seek out some nominees to fill them up:
•Best VC/Entrepreneur Blog
•Best Personal Finance Blog
•Best Technology Company Blog (oddly, I'd have thought this one would have been huge)
•Best Real Estate Blog
•Best Manufacturing Blog
•Best Business Humor Blog
•Best SEO Blog
•Best Project Management Blog
•Best Leadership Blog
•The John Kerry Award (Most Long Winded)
•The Woh? Award (Worst Grammar / Spelling)
•The Peacock Award (Most Self-Important)
•The Ballmer Award (Craziest CEO blogger)
•All of the International Categories (except, oddly, Australia/New Zealand)
Again, we're taking nominations in any category–these are just currently the less popular ones. Nominations will close at, I don't know, midnight PST, January 24.
Jeremy and I have been overwhelmed by the prize offerings we've received thus far. Here's a quick run-down of what's on offer. We haven't assigned prizes to categories yet, but we figured we might tease a few more nominations with a preview of what's on offer.
If you'd like to donate a prize, there's still time. Just drop us a line.

Thanks to those who volunteered to be judges for the Business Blogging Awards. The judges will whittle down the nominees to three to six per category. Additionally, if we're short in a category or two, the judges will seek out appropriate nominees. The judges will be: I've put together half a dozen little buttons people can use on their sites. But, we'd like some more done at different sizes. If anyone knows anyone who'd like to help out, have them drop me an email.
Here is a ZIP of some initial images. Some of which are courtesy of Devin Reams.
Thanks to everyone for their support. The response has been great!
But, we're going to need a handful of judges (3-5) to help judge these puppies to whittle down the finalists. If you're interested, just drop us an email.
Thanks, and have fun!
There's been a suggestion to add a tech blog category, as well as several other "tech specific" categories. While I'm not against this - especially as tech blogs haven't really had their own awards either - I'd like to see what others think.
Here's what Marc Orchant had to say:
For sure I think the categories about how to use software and developer are definite business topics. Software developers are, after all a huge part of the blogosphere population - both readers and authors. And, business people certainly seem to read blogs like mine to get advice about software (both what to buy and how to use it).
Please comment here or email us to let us know.
Time to nominate your favourite blog (or blogs) in as many categories as you can. Please leave a comment here with the blog name and URL you are nominating. You can nominate as many blogs as you'd like, including your own, for as many categories as you'd like.
Alternately, you can email us with your nominations.
Welcome to the 2005 Business Blogging Awards, presented by InsideBlogging! As business blogging has taken off in 2004, and looks to explode in 2005, we figured it was time to inaugurate some fun awards to reward all those hard-working business bloggers. After all, we can't let the online diarists have all the fun, can we?
Here's how the awards will work:
•We're accepting nominations until January 24. Anyone can nominate any blogger in any category
•Additionally, feel free to suggest new categories if there's one you'd like to see
•To nominate a blogger, simply place a comment in the nominations thread. Feel free to nominate as many blogs as you'd like (including your own) for as many categories as you'd like
•A panel of judges will whittle the nominee list for each category down to a minimum of three and a maximum of six nominees
•Voting will open at 12:00pm PST on January 26. You'll be able to vote once per day per category
•Voting will continue until 12:00pm PST on Feburary 9 Sponsors
We need companies to sponsor awards. We're not looking for anybody to give away cars or anything–just a small prize that the blogger might use and enjoy. If you're an ISP, how about a year's worth of free hosting? If you're in PR, how about a free press release? If you're Amazon, how about a gift certificate? If you're Google, free searching for…ah, never mind.

Rooster Roundabout: This week's music highlights
Yup, watching Belle and Sebastian cover Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" for a group of kids at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta might be the cutest thing in music this week. You can check that out below, but you might need to have a tissue handy.
A few weeks ago, I posted a track from Buzz Osborne's upcoming solo acoustic album This Machine Kills Artists. And now King Buzzo has posted another snippet from that forthcoming record, which, despite being acoustic, is pretty heavy and dark. But that's a good thing. You can hear his new song ("Drunken Baby") by heading over to A.V. Club.
For those of you that think Lana Del Rey is all that and a bag of stale potato chips, the moment you've waited for is finally here. The singer-songwriter has come out with the first track from her upcoming sophomore LP Ultraviolence. Some blogs have already touted the tune as the "song of the summer." Getting ahead of yourselves much? But I'll let y'all be the judge of that. You can listen to "West Coast" below.
I guess it's only appropriate that I mention tomorrow is Record Store Day. Not only is it a way to promote shopping at your local record stores, it opens your horizons to new and exciting music emerging from the depths of post-Top 40-whatever. Meh ... political correctness aside, I'm not much of a fan of Record Store Day. Most record stores don't carry the releases the peak my interests, and sometimes it makes me wonder whether it's a trick to get you into the stores in the first place. Regardless, you'll probably see me at Mecca tomorrow. But you can read Pitchfork's top Record Store Day Releases by clicking here.
Hmmm... trippy sound effects, a slick guitar riff quietly sneaking around the bush and lush vocals … The Black Keys' new tune (the title track from their forthcoming Turn Blue) isn't half bad. I just may be tricked into hearing more. Could this be a change of heart or a momentary lapse of judgment? I don't know, but it's one good ditty. I'm impressed, Keys. The tune should tide fans over till May 13, when the album hits stores. Preach on!
I'll admit that the only reason I decided to write about this follow-up item is because Kelley Deal is involved. Sure, everyone knows about her sister Kim (Pixies, Breeders, Amps, etc.), but Kelley Deal is a good songwriter in her own right. Check out The Kelley Deal 6000 if you haven't yet. Now Deal is featured on a track by Motel Beds ("Tropics in The Sand"). It's supposed to be on a split 7-inch that'll be out on Record Store Day, but you can hear the track over at Stereogum if you don't plan on participating. Cause why would you do that anyways?
The only stuff I've heard from The Pains of Being Pure at Heart were tracks on a compilation album I got for free at Austin City Limits. And I don't even remember the names of the songs; that's how out of touch I am. But they've shared a new track via SoundCloud, and if I can describe it in one word: cute. It doesn't hit hard like Bass Drum of Death, but it's not overtly twee like She & Him. It holds a nice place in the middle. Let's call it cute without the "e." Wait, that spells "cut." That doesn't work. Just listen to the damn thing.
Well this just seems to be a good week for streaming albums in full ahead of their release dates. You can head over to NPR to listen to Kelis' new record Food. And you can head over to The New York Times to listen to Eels' The Cautionary Tales of Mark Oliver Everett. And then head over to Consequence of Sound to listen to Nas' Illmatic XX reissue. Thank your kind publications for letting you get a sneak peak before you go purchase these albums … assuming you will actually purchase them.
If you ever wanted to see Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age play a disappointing gay man … here's your chance.
Alibi Midnight Movie Madness Presents: Rotgut
When Alibi film editor Devin D. O'Leary (yup, that's me) isn't busy writing about movies or talking about movies on "KASA-2 Style" or hosting Midnight Movies at the Guild Cinema, he occasionally finds time to actually make them. Recently he (that is to say "I") wrote and produced the horror-comedy Rotgut. Shot right here in Albuquerque with a local cast and crew, the film is finally getting its long-awaited World Premiere. The low-budget gala event will take place this Friday and Saturday, April 18 and 19, at the Guild Cinema (3405 Central NE) starting at 10:30pm. Tickets are $8 general admission and $6 students. The cast and crew will be there to participate in a post-film Q&A/meet-and-greet. To give you a little taste of what demented entertainment you're in for, check out the trailer above.
Universal Sound
UPDATE 4/18/14, 4:35pm - According to OM's Facebook page, this performance is unfortunately CANCELED.
Local heavy metal legend Al Cisneros brings his dark, droning psych-rock collaboration with Emil Amos, an eldritch thing called OM, to the stage at Sister (407 Central NW) tomorrow night. Cisneros, of influential doom band Sleep, and Amos—who also drums in PDX post-rock outfit Grails and conjures soundscapes with Alex Hall in Lilacs & Champagne—are well known in both these parts and the metal universe for generating sounds that are massive, entrancing and louder than goddamned hell.
OM takes its moniker from the Hindu concept for the sound the universe makes; if that descriptor is anywhere near the ensemble's musical truth, then this world's vast emptiness is a triumphantly noisy affair that careens between chaos and transcendence. Robert Lowe's contributions to the band's latest release, Advaitic Songs, and touring efforts add a shimmery crunch to OM's cosmically unpronounceable, sonically arcane journey. But why read words that attempt to describe something all-at-once too simple and complicated to make words out of ... when you can take the trip yourself for 10 bucks. Opening act Watter—featuring Britt Walford of Slint and Grails' Zak Riles—takes the stage at 10pm, and this show is 21-plus. Sister • Sat Apr 19 • 10pm • $10 • 21+ • View on Alibi calendar

Swimming with the dolphins connected me immediately to my intuitive heart space. They were a mirror of non-judgmental awareness that reminded me of being with Maharaji. Being with him felt like being with someone who was human but not human, like a wild animal. I was removed from my conceptual conspiracy of relating to the world through attachment, greed and anger.

Cloudland girls discard Cosby3:51 am | February 26, 2013
AFTON — Cosby appeared on the right path to slip into the regional championship game, but saw its season end after encountering the wrong "Rhodes."
Brooke Rhodes fired in 21 points and grabbed 14 rebounds, paving the way for Cloudland to get past Cosby 39-35 Monday night at Chuckey-Doak Middle School.
The Lady Highlanders (23-10) came in ranked No. 10 in the state while Cosby (25-4) stood at No 4. The game stayed close the entire way.
"I thought the defense that we played in the fourth quarter was the difference," said Cloudland coach Matt Birchfield. "We had to sit Brooke for almost five minutes, but the defense keeping the game close until she could get back in was the key."

With 2013 marking half a century since Kennedy's fateful limousine ride in Dallas, the current revels are exceeding the revisionist frenzies of years past, with a seemingly endless parade of books, articles and television specials designed to assure us that, despite everything that has come to light about him since his death, JFK was a great president, or at least a very good president who would have been great had his life not been so cruelly cut short.
As someone who for the past fifteen years has been writing a column that largely focuses on the news media, I've read what is no doubt an altogether unhealthy number of books on the subject. Most of them were instantly forgettable while some created a brief buzz but failed to pass the test of time. And then there were those select few that merited a permanent spot on the bookshelf.
George W. Bush has been getting some positive media coverage lately, with recent polls showing him at least as popular as his successor, Barack Obama, and a big new book about the Bush presidency by New York Times chief White House correspondent Peter Baker (Days of Fire, Doubleday) portraying Bush as a much more hands-on chief executive than his detractors ever imagined.
Readers who've stuck with the Monitor over the years will forgive this rerun of sorts, but as we approach the fortieth anniversary of the Yom Kippur War – and with the stench of presidential indecisiveness hanging so heavily over Washington these days – it seemed only appropriate to revisit Richard Nixon's role in enabling Israel to recover from the staggering setbacks it suffered in the first week of fighting.
Shakespeare had it right. The evil that men do indeed lives after them. Case in point: Nahum Goldmann, who served in a variety of Jewish and Zionist organizational leadership posts from the 1920s through the 1970s.
Oscar "Ossie" Schectman, who scored the first basket in the history of the league that evolved into the National Basketball Association, died last week at age 94.
It's certainly been a while, hasn't it? And yet it seems like the conversation was never really interrupted, as I've enjoyed, in the three and a half months since this column last appeared, many an interesting exchange, via e-mail and phone, with some very intelligent readers.

Your looming dental appointment may be making you anxious enough. You probably don't need anything else to worry about, but here's something to chew on.
Two employees of a Montgomery County dental practice are accused of playing dentist in the office after hours, without being licensed. Patients had teeth pulled, root canals performed and X-rays taken, among other procedures, authorities say.
So before you make an appointment with a dentist, doctor or other medical professional, put yourself at ease and verify they are licensed. That goes for other professionals too, ranging from therapists and real estate agents to car salesmen and funeral directors.
It's not hard to check. You don't have to confront them or have an uncomfortable conversation. It's better to check on your own anyway, in case you do ask and aren't told the truth, as police allege occurred in the Montgomery County case.
Authorities charged Jessica Gullickson and Cheryl Laing of Broomall with various criminal offenses, including unauthorized practice of dentistry and reckless endangerment. The charges were held for court following a preliminary hearing last week.
Police and the district attorney's office said Gullickson and Laing worked at Smilz 4 Life in Bryn Mawr and treated people in the office after hours without the owner's knowledge. Authorities said Laing was employed as a dental assistant but acted as a dentist after hours, and Gullickson was employed as a receptionist but acted as Laing's assistant after hours.
"It's kind of ghoulish," assistant district attorney John Gradel said after Tuesday's hearing. "These people are performing medical procedures that they have no business doing."
This certainly is an extreme case. Not every allegation of unlicensed professional activity comes with such potentially painful or serious consequences. Many don't have any evidence of harm to customers.
But it's wise to check and you can do it without anyone knowing. Call the Pennsylvania Bureau of Professional and Occupational Affairs at 717-787-8503 or verify the license online at http://www.dos.state.pa.us under "licensing" and "verify a license."
Last year, state licensing boards reprimanded more than 200 individuals and businesses for working without active licenses, running unlicensed businesses or running businesses using unlicensed employees.
Some of those were in the Lehigh Valley and surrounding counties.
Last January, the State Board of Dentistry revoked the license of Bethlehem dentist George W. Gordon. It said he had practiced from August 2007 through at least June 2010 while his license was suspended. His license had been suspended in August 2007 because he had practiced on an expired license from April 2003 through at least December 2006, according to board records.
I could not reach him for comment.
In 2010, Gordon admitted to a state investigator that he had continued practicing despite the license suspension, according to the board.
"Dentists are expected to be trusted professionals with the duty and responsibility for the care and safety of their patients," the Board of Dentistry wrote in its order revoking Gordon's license. "The board takes repeated violations of prior board orders very seriously and believes these violations are contrary to the standards of which a dental professional is held."
Also last year, the State Registration Board for Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors and Geologists ordered Mark S. Reese of Richland Township, Bucks County, to repay customers for "offering professional land survey services and/or by practicing professional land survey services" without a license.
I could not reach him for comment.
Reese admitted to the accusations, according to a settlement agreement and order. Customers in Bucks County told the board they had paid Reese for work that later had to be completed by other engineering firms.
Reese told investigators he had been involved in surveying and civil engineering all of his life, according to the settlement. He said he worked for his grandfather, who was an engineer, and then worked with his father's construction firm. He said he earned an engineer's aid/land surveyor rating in the Navy and earned a college degree in construction management.
In the Montgomery County unlicensed dentist case, patients testified Tuesday that Laing injected them with numbing medication, performed a root canal and pulled teeth. They testified that Gullickson took X-rays and assisted Laing.

AUSTIN -- The Planned Parenthood South Austin clinic will continue to offer abortion services.
This comes after U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel struck down part of a new Texas law that would have required doctors who perform abortions obtain hospital-admitting privileges within 30 miles of their practice.
"Had we not gotten this ruling this afternoon, women across the state would have been immediately and directly impacted. We have vast communities in parts of the state that would have no longer had access to these types of services," said Sarah Wheat with Planned Parenthood.
Along with other plaintiffs in the lawsuit against the state, Planned Parenthood warned that the provision of House Bill 2 (HB 2) requiring doctors to obtain hospital-admitting privileges would have forced more than a dozen clinics to stop performing the procedures. That includes Planned Parenthood's South Austin location.
"Patients who depend on us and who would have come to us tomorrow, here at this health center, we would have had to call this afternoon and advise them that they were going to have to look elsewhere," said Wheat.
"I think it's actually more important to provide these women with the other options," Christina Durbin, a supporter of HB 2 said. "But I think if they're going to have abortion legal then women do need to have the highest safety standards possible."
Attorneys for the state argued medical benefits took a back seat to the state's intent to preserve "fetal life." Judge Yeakel ruled the provision placed an unconstitutional burden on women seeking a legal abortion.
Also challenged in the lawsuit were dosing requirements for the abortion inducing drug, RU-486. Physicians said the new requirements are based on outdated and more risky protocols established by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration during the 1990s. Those protocols have since been replaced by evidence-based procedures.
Yeakel ruled that part is not unconstitutional, but gave physicians some leeway in situations where there may be a safety risk. State Rep. Jodie Laubenberg (R-Parker), HB 2's author, hinted when the bill passed in July that its fate would be decided in court.
"It just depends on what court district your state is in," Laubenberg told KVUE after the bill cleared the House. "Eventually I do believe it will go up to the Supreme Court."
The state is expected to quickly appeal, and Planned Parenthood will likely return to court once the case reaches the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans.
"We're here for our patients, and we'll continue to do what we need to do to make sure our patients can make personal, private health care decisions," said Wheat.
Both sides are now preparing for the next round.

The Parallel-Plate Capacitor with Dielectric model investigates a relatively simple capacitor consisting of two identical metal plates placed parallel to one another. The capacitor can be charged by connecting one plate to the positive terminal of a battery and the other plate to the negative terminal. In this situation, the battery acts as a pump, pumping electrons from one capacitor plate to the other until the potential difference across the capacitor matches the battery voltage.
The Parallel-Plate Capacitor with Dielectric model was created using the Easy Java Simulations (EJS) modeling tool. It is distributed as a ready-to-run (compiled) Java archive. Double clicking the ejs_bu_em_Capacitor.jar file will run the program if Java is installed.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – The Oral Roberts University baseball team won its first mid-week contest of the season on Tuesday night as the Golden Eagles topped Missouri State on the road, 4-1. The victory improved ORU to 19-26.
ORU's victory was its fifth in a row and its first at Hammons Field since 2007.
Coming off a three-game sweep at Lamar where the offense was the story, the pitching of Pepe Gomez, Phillip Wilson and Kurt Giller stepped up against the Bears. Their performances were complimented by Kevin Cho who picked up four hits and Joey Migliaccio added a solo home run in the sixth inning.
Wilson (1-1) went four innings in relief of Gomez and allowed just one hit and struck out three. During his time on the mound, Wilson set down 11 consecutive MSU batters.
In his first start as a Golden Eagle, Gomez allowed one run on five hits in four innings, while Giller struck out two in the ninth en route to his first save of the season.
Missouri State fell to 27-17 on the season as Tyler Thomason earned his fourth loss of the season.
Cho's second single of the game came by way of the infield variety as the MSU pitcher was unable to coral a hard hit ball, scoring Chris Williams on the play. Austen Colt was the second run of the inning to cross the plate as the MSU third baseman misplayed a grounder off the bat of Matt Brandy.
In the top of the fifth, Logan Domenico picked up a two-out single to drive in Cho, expanding the Golden Eagles' lead to 3-0.
The Bears cut into the ORU lead in the home half of the inning, as they scored their lone run of the game Dylan Becker singled to right to drive in Keenen Maddox.
Nate Goro and MSU's Luke Voit were the only other batters besides Cho with multiple hits, each finishing with a pair of singles.
The Golden Eagles and Bears will match up again at Hammons Field on Wednesday, with first pitch set for 6:30 p.m.
