Best Book I've Seen on the Subject
June 29 2004
This review is from:
Bully Free Classroom: Over 100 Tips and Strategies For Teachers K-8 (Paperback)
I am currently a third-grade teacher, and I have taught many levels of students, from kindergarten to high school. I read this whole book in two days, and it is the best book I have seen on the subject, as a resource for teachers (and for parents).
The book is divided into three major parts: Creating a Positive Classroom, Helping Victims, and helping Bullies. Each section of the book was equally good. Every section is filled with very specific ideas which would work in almost any school situation, of any level. 95% of the ideas and suggestions would be appropriate for Grade 3, without any modification. The book is also filled with reproducable pages which ARE REALLY USEFUL, unlike most reproducables which I have seen for teachers. Not one paragraph of the entire book wasted my time. Every single page is packed with hard-hitting practical ideas. I also liked the many, many suggestions which can be used for journaling ideas. Some examples: "How would you feel--if you were the most popular student, or the least popular student; if you were the new kid in school; if you wore glasses." Also: "When was the last time someone did something really nice for you? What did the person do? How did it make you feel?" Also: "What do you like about yourself? What are you best at? What makes you proud of yourself?" These are just a few of the 200 or so ideas JUST for writing about, which are scattered throughout the book.
On a personal note, in the part dealing with Helping Bullies, I recognized a family member who is a verbal and emotional bully. This book also gave me some excellent ideas for dealing with this adult.
I just wish I had come across this remarkable and helpful book years ago! I can recommend it to teachers of all ages of children (and parents, too).

José is a FANTASTIC Art Teacher!
June 22 2004
This review is from:
Color Theory (Paperback)
I paint landscapes in oil for a hobby. The other day, while cleaning all my paint tubes, and while looking at the names of the colors, I began thinking about them. I then found I had José's wonderful book on my shelf for several years, still unread. I picked it up, and found I literally could not put it down. For an artist, this book reads like a "thriller!"
One of the things I liked best about the book is that it is not necessary to read it in order, from beginning to end. I turned first to the section on shadows, as shadows are an area I am currently having problems with. José explains EVERYTHING SO WELL, and CLEARLY. When he refers to matter already covered in an earlier section of the book, he clearly states the page number, where you can go back and refer to that section. His treatment of shadows is typical of how he addresses each subject in his little book.
José opens the chapter with a brief discussion of what Van Gogh once said about shadows, and discusses how artists currently view shadows as blue; whereas, at one time, they were viewed as similar to Van Dyck brown, or burnt umber. He explains how the post-impressionists discovered that the basic color of shadows is blue, and he devotes an entire lesson to actually showing us how that is so. Next, he devotes a second lesson to understanding the local color in darker tones, which he also points out is somewhat reminiscent of an old master's painting. In the first lesson, he gives us a sample still life painting, all in shades of blue. In the second lesson, we see the same still life painting, where the shadows are not made with blue, but only by using darker tones of the local colors. The third lesson deals with the complementary color of the local color. Here, we are given a third example of the still life, painted this time in complementary colors, which are used as shadows. José also points out that the still life now looks very much like the style of some paintings by Toulouse-Lautrec, Cézanne, and especially Van Gogh, with the contrast originating from the juxtaposition of the most opposed colors, of highest contrast. He is not advising us to paint like this, only to help us understand. The fourth lesson in the chapter deals with the finished painting. We now see the same still life painted correctly, with proper use three types of colors in the shadows: blue, the local color in darker tones, and the complementary of the local color. As José carefullly guides our eye through each step of the process, we now really understand what he wants us to see!
I then read the other chapters, in order from the beginning. One of the best discussions dealt with looking at various landscape scenes (shown in photographs) and how each painter asks himself, "What color is it, actually?" He then takes us through a whole lesson, showing us his own thoughts (and sometimes, confusion) as he paints the landscape, trying to decide what color each thing is. This really helped me see that every painter is going throught the same thought processes, and having the same problems that I am.
I have several unfinished paintings I am still working on, and yet, after several years, was unable to determine, by looking, just what the problem was. After reading two-thirds of this book yesterday, I looked at my paintings this morning, and can see the solutions immediately! Now I finally know what to do. If only I had found this wonderful book sooner!
I was pleased to look on the back cover and find that José, himself, has written a number of other art books in this series, dealing with many other topics. So often in a series, each book is written by a different author. José is such a wonderful art teacher that I am delighted to see HE has written all of them. I intend to purchase several more of his books, as soon as I am able.

Too Many Disparate Plots, But Still Excellent!!!
June 5 2004
This review is from:
Killer Dust (Mass Market Paperback)
I read the previous Em Hanson book as my introduction to Andrews' forensic geology novels. I loved it so much that I was disappointed when it ended. I was so happy to find Em's story continued in this new novel, Killer Dust. I also ordered her previous novels, which I haven't yet read, just on the strength of the one novel I read. Andrews is an excellent writer.
Certain things about this novel were fantastic and exciting, while other things were disappointing and confusing. What I loved most about this novel was the science. I had never heard about the dust blowing across the Atlantic, from Africa, forming the basis of the soil in all the Caribbean Islands, turning sunsets redder from Venezuela to Miami, and even transporting live locusts from Africa, as well as dangerous pathogens which kill Caribbean coral and dust which gives severe asthma to Caribbean Islanders-especially the dramatic increases in the dust since 1970. Em Hansen's character reads some books, mentioned by name, that gave me a good starting point to research all this on the internet. I easily found confirmation of everything she mentioned in the book. It's all really fascinating and based on excellent science. Furthermore, I found it of particular interest since I live in Africa--in Morocco, where all this dust originates--while I also have family in Florida. Most of the book takes place in Florida, and I learned many things about that state I did not know, in spite of having visited there.
What I did not like about this particular book was that it left too many loose ends, and I wound up feeling confused about some of the things that had happened. I felt like there was something wrong with me, that I had to go back and reread a number of parts, trying to make sense of what was happening. I felt much better after going to Amazon.com and reading that other reviewers had the same problem. It is mainly only the last third of the book that gave me this problem. I think the book has some great ideas and plots, but that the problem is the author has tried to put TOO MANY separate plots into the same book. Maybe she could have separated the plots into two different books, and it might have worked better. She has tried to combine NASA, U.S. politics, George Bush and the War on Terrorism, the blowing African dust question, and anthrax and bioterrorism, together with the main character's personal life with her disappearing boyfriend, and stalking of a woman astronaut. It's just too many disparate things for one novel. The thing that really did bother me at the end of the book was that I could just never figure out, even with looking back and rereading, WHO pushed Calvin Wheat (the African dust researcher) off the cruise ship, and WHY!!! I also felt very confused by the whole commando-island scene, not making a lot of sense out of what was happening, or why, or to whom, even after rereading it three times. I'm still waiting to find out MORE about Leah, Jack's mother. Maybe the NEXT novel will be able to answer some of these questions, in retrospect.
Her last chapter explains a bit about why the issue of stalking is in the novel. The author explains that she herself, in her real life, was the victim of stalking for years, and that the police could/would do little to help her. She wanted to bring these issues to the forefront. She did do that, but I feel that if that was what she wanted to highlight, she should have made that about half the book, with one other major plot, such as the African dust, OR the anthrax question, OR the war on terrorism and U.S. politics. She was just too ambitious in this book. Correct treatment of all these plots would require a longer thriller, as opposed to a mystery.
This was still a good book, and I still found it difficult to put down, in spite of the problems. If you are interested in science, stalking, or just the character of Em Hansen, read this book anyway. I am sure there will be more Em Hansen novels coming (as the book ends with her finding Jack, but we are still waiting to see what happens with their relationship). So if you like Em Hansen, definitely read this book so that you don't have a gap in your knowledge of what has happened to their relationship before the next book.

Another Book Full of African Wisdom
May 3 2004
This review is from:
Morality for Beautiful Girls (Paperback)
Third in the series of the No. 1 Ladies' Detection Agency, a person could pick this up and read it on its own. But I don't recommend it. I feel everyone would enjoy this book FAR more after reading the first two books in the series.
As good as the first two books were, each book only seems to get better! I couldn't put the book down, and read the whole thing in one day. Unlike some U.S. reviewers, I did not find this book to be weak. I found the fact that some cases/plots resolve more satisfactorily than others to be a mirror of REALITY. (I am an American living overseas, and have often heard British/Australians/New Zealanders criticise American movies/books for having endings that are "too pat," with too many ends tied up TOO well! Perhaps those who criticise this book about the the opposite are more used to American authors. I think part of what they are feeling is that this is a British author.)
As all books do in series, different books focus more on certain characters, to the exclusion of others. Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni is somewhat on the sidelines in this book, but he does come back into prominence in the successive books (and in fact, book five seems to be primarily about him).
The title of this book comes from a particularly interesting case Mma Makutsi investigates while Precious Ramotswe is away investigating another particulary interesting case. The best thing about the book is the way these two cases resolve! I feel this writer has had a lot of life experience, and ends up imparting this wisdom about life through his characters adventures and investigations. Furthermore, living in Africa these past 12 years, I absolutely love the African settings and how the African people of Botswana are portrayed.

Our Family Highly Enjoyed Watching the Film Together
April 26 2004
This review is from:
Bulletproof Monk (Special Edition) (Bilingual) (DVD)
My 10-year-old daughter chose this film as a rental, having seen part of it at a friend's house. She said, "Mom, I know you'll love it!" And I did. I have traveled extensively in Tibet, and anything Tibetan, or Buddhist, grabs my attention.
As we live in Morocco, our version was dubbed in French. I was a bit surprised by some of the language, which I did not feel was appropriate for children, but now seeing the PG-13 rating, feel that this rating is appropriate.
It wasn't the best film I've ever seen, but it definitely held my attention, and our whole family enjoyed it together.

Really Improved My Opinion of Ayatollah Khomeni and Iran
April 12 2004
This review is from:
Nine Parts of Desire: The Hidden World of Islamic Women (Paperback)
I'm an American woman who has lived overseas in Morocco for twelve years. My friends and I are reading this book for our monthly bookclub selection. None of us was able to put the book down, once we started it. We all read the book in one or two days.
The author is a journalist who spent considerable time in the Middle East, reporting from various countries. Although this is not a scholarly work, it is well-researched. The book focuses on her own personal experiences in each country, and ancecdotes from various women she met in each country.
For me, the most interesting parts of the book discussed the home and personal life of the Ayatollah Khomeni. After reading this book, my opinion of both him, and of Islamic life in Iran, went up by about 300 percent. The author met and interviewed his wife, and various family members. He was a fairly modern, new-age husband, and playful father, who even got up in the middle of the night and gave his kids their bottles, and changed their diapers. The only thing he was quite strict about was the Islamic religion.
Anyone who is interested in the lives of women in the Middle East should read this book. The book is as accurate today as it was when it was written.

Another Meaty, Humorous Novel About Cuban Americans
April 2 2004
This review is from:
Luck Of The Draw: A Novel (Hardcover)
Another meaty, humorous novel about Cuban Amercians. I never knew that Cuba had a big gambling industry prior to 1959, nor that Batista had invited in the American Mafia to run the Cuban gambling casinos. When Castro took over, shutting down the casinos, all those who made their living working in the casinos fled Cuba, and mostly settled in Las Vegas. I had no idea that Cubans were one of the major ethnic groups in Las Vegas.
This is another great novel. The newest character , from Miami, starts out being rather unsympathetic and unlikeable, seeming odd in her living habits, and giving her kids each two double expressos before school each morning just to wake them up ! But she soon becomes involved in tracking down the disappearance of her sister (who lives in Las Vegas). During the time in Las Vegas, we come to like the main character.
I view ALL of Aguilera's books as "women's fantasies." All of her books are about woman characters, told in first person, solving various mysteries. Yet, each book is about different characters and situations. Furthermore, while each book is a lighthearted mystery, really funny and clever, serious elements are brought in for the reader to consider. Usually, the main character is having some marriage problems (as most people experience in their 30's). Each character in each book deals with those problems in a unique way, while solving the main mystery in the story. I highly recommend ALL of Aguilera's books, and I can hardly wait until she gets her next book written!

An ADULT Film�NOT a FAMILY Film
April 2 2004
This review is from:
St Patrick's Day (VHS Tape)
This film is not for the average person. It is full of continuous conversation and small talk, so be sure you like this kind of film before you get it. That said, it is about an Irish-American extended family who gather together at one of the relative's houses to celebrate St. Patrick Day. The film displays some Irish customs in the way that My Big Fat Greek Wedding displays many Greek customs (the latter being a much better film). I bought this film hoping for it to be something good to watch as a family, with my young daughter. Fortunately, I previewed it alone before allowing my daughter to watch it (it's rated PG-13, and my daughter is 10). More than anything else, this film explores the sex lives of three-quarters of those at the family reunion, meaning from young adults through retired oldsters. They have done a good job of it, with some sensitive portrayals, marriage conflicts (that would be most appreciated by those married 15 years or longer), some good Irish music, and a few humorous moments thrown in. I don't feel it's an appropriate subject for watching as a family, except perhaps with older teenagers, or adult children. I bought this film, but it's not one I'm eager to watch again.

Violent War Movie About a True Battle in Mogadishu, Somalia
March 21 2004
This review is from:
Black Hawk Down (Bilingual) [Import] (DVD)
My husband brought home this movie, and I watched it with him. It is an EXTREMELY violent war movie, but is the story of a true battle fought by American soldiers in Mogadishu, Somalia. Be sure you enjoy violent movies before getting this film, as there is almost two hours of straight violence. The battle starts with one soldier actually falling accidentally out of the helicopter, to the ground, instead of his shinnying down the helicopter rope to the ground, as the other soldiers do. As his comrades try to help get him evacuated, more soldiers get hurt. As others come to help them, even more get hurt. This was supposed to be a 45-minute operation, but turned into a 16-hour quagmire, and that is just what the movie feels like as you watch it. You cannot help but be impressed by the heroism of the soldiers, and of the general, who keeps insisting on "getting every last man out."

About 45 minutes before first pitch and some news has come out.
Texas outfielder Kyle Russell will not start any of the three games this weekend against Texas Tech due to a strained neck muscle. He could be used as a pinch-hitter or in a limited role, but the coaches are trying to rest him and get him healthy, according to UT officials.
Russell was struggling at the plate, however, hitting just .236 with a home run and seven RBIs. Last year he was one of the top hitters in the nation with 28 home runs and 71 RBIs.
Texas has found plenty of offense to put in his place this year, but his leadership lost could be key.

Root for All on the SE Linux Play Machine
Since the middle of 2001, I have been working on NSA Security Enhanced Linux [see page 20 in this issue] both on packaging it for Debian and in general development. When describing the project to Linux users, I find much confusion exists about what SE Linux does; it is difficult to gain a full understanding of SE Linux from reading the documentation or attending a presentation. Also, many people who have prior experience in security want to gain some practical experience but don't have the time to install SE Linux to experiment. I decided that a good way to teach people about SE Linux would be to set up a machine with public access for anyone to use.
Demonstrating SE Linux in a regular configuration is not particularly exciting, as the only noticeable operations it restricts for non-root users are ps ax and dmesg. In a default configuration, ps ax shows an unpriviledged user only the other processes in the same user domain, and dmesg is blocked. This is similar to the restrictions imposed by OpenWall and is nothing new in itself. I decided to grant root access to the world using only SE Linux for security, so users can see exactly what it is capable of doing.
On June 6–9, 2002, at LinuxTag in Karlsruhe, Germany, I ran an SE Linux demo machine at the Debian stand. This was the first SE Linux play machine. At the time, the default policy was less restrictive than it currently is. It allowed setuid and DAC_OVERRIDE capabilities for regular users (user_t domain). For a regular SE Linux configuration, this is fine. SE Linux does not use uids when deciding whether to grant access, and DAC_OVERRIDE allows overriding the UNIX access controls, but not any SE controls. The reason these capabilities were granted was to allow running setuid programs from the user_t domain without needing SE Linux domains for such programs. So although those capabilities were satisfactory for the typical user, they were not suitable for the unusual situation of having a root user who should be banned from accessing other uids in the same domain. I removed these capabilities from user_t, restricted the root account to the user_r role and it was ready to go.
In recent releases, the default policy has changed to not grant setuid or DAC_OVERRIDE capabilities to user_t. So, the most significant security policy difference between my play machine and a real server is that on the play machine unprivileged users are permitted to read the kernel message log (dmesg) and the security policy source as an aid to understanding SE Linux.
My SE Linux challenge is based on a machine deliberately configured to be less secure than real servers, by granting log file access, granting read access to the security policy and allowing unprivileged users root access. In spite of these factors, little success was had in breaking the security.
On the first day of LinuxTag, a potential issue with /boot files was reported. A user believed he could determine the LILO password from the LILO map file. I immediately changed the policy to restrict the access to /boot to prevent such problems. Of course, if you have physical access to a machine you usually can break the security somehow, but we want to make it as difficult as possible.
During the event, I started work on support for multiple user roles. The initial reason for this was one of my colleagues used the play machine for more serious purposes. He lost all his files, because they were created by the root:user_r:user_t security context as uid root, the same as users who were testing the security. The standard test that everyone ran as root was rm -rf /, which deleted all his files. The system itself was unharmed, as files in /bin, /etc and other system directories cannot be unlinked or written to by user_t. After I gave my friend an account with the domain user1_t, his files could not be accessed by a root user in domain user_t.
On June 17, 2002, I set up an SE play machine on a Cobalt Qube that is available on the Internet for everyone to use. The first machine was on-line intermittently until July 11. The uptime for the play machines has not been great, because they need to be monitored continually. Such a machine would have the potential to become a risk to everyone, including me, my ISP and people who use it, if it was cracked and I didn't respond fast enough. So whenever I go on holidays or am busy with work, I have to take it off-line.
The machine had its own iptables setup to prevent undesired network access from leaving the local machine. It also was placed behind a firewall, which applied similar restrictions on data transfers. This setup prevented any user from even probing my firewall from the inside unless they first cracked the security of the play machine. I initially allowed most outbound network connections other than SMTP, but I soon changed this to allow only outbound connections to a Web proxy. SSH tunnels could be used for other Net access. Also, I denied X forwarding so that if a user mistakenly enables it on his client, his machine can't be attacked by other users on the play machine.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment
July 20, 2016 12:00 pm CDT
One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Read an Excerpt
For years, it didn't occur to me that there was anything to tell about abortion. The opposite. There was much to forget. But I discovered that many other women were hungry to come to terms with a past scarred by cowardice and the need to cloak themselves in someone else's power. Many had a history of repeat abortions. They, like me, were eager to find a language to articulate an experience they had seldom spoken about. My testimony is not unique. Beyond the antiseptic, practical language of Planned Parenthood and the legalistic or moralistic discourse of Roe v. Wade and its pro-choice and pro-life counterparts, there are few words to articulate individual, intimate accounts. About half of American women having abortions in 2004 (of 1.5 million reported) have had a prior abortion. Close to 20 percent have had at least two previous abortions and 10 percent three or more. A considerable number of the repeat abortions occur among populations with high levels of contraceptive use.
My own account can't resolve the moral dilemma of my actions. Yet, I want to understand the spell a pregnant body exercised over me, my flawed desire to become someone, or something else. The diaries I kept guided me. My promise to the reader is to deliver an account of my addiction, a steady flow of unhappiness, the X-ray of a delusion, and ultimately, the redeeming face of motherhood.
Halfway through working on this book I got pregnant for the seventeenth time. I don't think I would have been able to give birth without the call to accountability and self reflection that writing this story demanded. My daughter became the coherence emerging from the shameful massof thirty-five years.
Yes, I was an abortion addict and I do not wish for a scapegoat. Everything can be explained, justified, our last century tells us. Everything maybe, except for the burden of life interrupted that shall die with me.

One year ago this month, President Obama inked an historic nuclear deal with Iran. It hardly seems like a year has passed since the Iran Nuclear Agreement came into being over the opposition of me and many others. However, perhaps that is because very little has changed when it comes to Iran's bad behavior.

A family night boat ride is exciting for children and grandchildren as they get to see a different lake after sunset. To make the most of a night boat ride opportunity, start with preparations for your boat…and for your passengers as well.

Here in Virginia our progenitors have paid with their lives for the ideas that matter to them and to the nation.
I certainly hope the American people were paying attention last week to the disgusting spectacle of hatred, racism, intolerance and dangerous ignorance on display in Cleveland.
It was truly a sad thing to see: The Republican Party we once knew – one produced Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, and Dwight Eisenhower – is dead, absolutely dead. It's been replaced by this ugly, extreme, and hateful thing that was evidenced last week.
What can we say about Tim Kaine that hasn't already been said?
When he slipped out of Richmond at the end of his tour as governor, his revolting act of seeking to jump-start the release of convicted double-murderer Jens Soering to Germany, and then to freedom, was an act of cowardice.
He did it in the dead of night and then stayed silent on the matter until the opportunity presented itself to run for the US Senate seat being vacated by Jim Webb.
Democrats had to be licking their chops and enjoying wholeheartedly the goings-on at the Republican National Convention held in Cleveland.
What with a plagiarized speech, mini-revolts from the anti-Trump contingent and an outright snub by convention speaker Ted Cruz, there appeared to be much for the Democrats to laugh at as they watched from afar.
Then came Philly.
There are only 43 days until the NFL has its openings game for the 2016-17 football season. Only 11 days are left until the opening ceremony of the Rio Olympics and two weeks until our first local football game of the season when Jefferson Forest takes on Liberty Christian Academy for a benefit game at Liberty University. Staunton River will take on Louisa County on Saturday, August 13 for a home benefit game.

Grayson Overstreet took home the Golden helmet as the Staunton River football team finished its Ironman challenge last Thursday, July 21.
The Ironman started three years ago. The challenge was instituted to help with summer conditioning. Football players could earn points during conditioning and compete in the final obstacle course.
Three Bedford County participants received silver and gold at the Virginia Commonwealth Games track and field event on Sunday, July 24.
Shannon Thomas and son, Andrew Thomas, along with Jordan Patti competed on the hottest weekend in July against people in their age group from all over Virginia.

Quick GuideTravel Health: Vaccines & Preventing Diseases Abroad
What is the incubation period for yellow fever?
The period of time from contracting the infection to the development of symptoms (incubation period) is generally between three to six days.
Is yellow fever contagious? How long is the contagious period for yellow fever?
Yellow fever is transmitted to humans by the bite of infected mosquitoes. Yellow fever is not contracted by direct contact with other individuals who are infected. Humans with yellow fever are infectious and can transmit the virus to uninfected mosquitoes shortly before the onset of fever and for three to five days after the onset of symptoms.
What are yellow fever symptoms and signs?
After infection with the yellow fever virus, many individuals will experience no clinically apparent manifestations of the disease (asymptomatic), while others will go on to develop a mild, self-limiting flu-like illness characterized by the following symptoms and signs:
Most patients with this initial acute phase of the disease improve after approximately three to four days. However, 15% of patients may enter a second phase of the disease which typically appears after a short remission of symptoms (about 24 hours) from the initial phase of the illness. This toxic phase of the disease is more severe, at which time the high fever returns and more organ systems become involved. In addition to the above symptoms, the following symptoms and signs may also develop:
- Abdominal pain
- Jaundice
- Bleeding from the gums, nose, eyes, and/or stomach
- Blood in the stool (black stool) and blood in the vomit (black vomit)
- Easy bruising of the skin
- Kidney failure
- Confusion
- Seizures
- Coma

Love to be in the conversation with these guys to try and figure what was going on?All the lying and conniving going on between these 4 companies!Worst part is MLNK will probably make an offer to make them go away and we will be left with a shell of a company and same management! Don't bet against it, this Management still has all the power and cash.Why don't I get out? Tax write off would be about the same as additional loss, having lost 70% of investment to date.Sorry, just venting my frustration at one of the worst investments I've ever made!
CMGI, I had to do the same type of venting a couple of times over the last seven years. It is frustrating watching your money take a pounding. BTY, besides Joe and 'Thunderbird' Crane? Who is this Florence Nightengale idiot VP on the CC? What a joke! A complete shill for Joe.JJ
I agree and in the same boat......
Unfortunately I agree, same boat. I hope in a stroke or cancer for Joe, I don't think is going to leave before the vault is empty.

To the Editor.
—Dr Moss' perceptive Editorial on the "oversimplified dichotomy" between "Q-wave" and "non—Q-wave" myocardial infarction expresses much needed caution about this and related simplifications.1 Moreover, it points up the pernicious influence of flawed terminology, the history of which is instructive in this case. Moss cites the simultaneous publications in 1983 by Phibbs2 and by me,3 pointing out that Q waves were not reliable markers for identifying anatomically transmural lesions and, moreover, that the original literature "establishing" this was seriously misleading on examination of the authors' own data.3My original article was entitled "Q-Wave Infarction vs S-T Infarction," so as to propose to embrace all infarcts (excepting the occasional patient with no significant electrocardiographic change).3 The terms "Q-wave" and "non—Q-wave" infarctions were first coined in a letter by respected cardiologists.4 Unfortunately, this terminology, probably due to its distinguished provenance, was rapidly taken up

MLS taps former WB exec for licensing
Published February 20, 2012, Page 9
Stu Crystal, the league's consumer products vice president since 2000, now reports to Towers.
Like the recently installed interim CMO Howard Handler, Towers was a league consultant. Since 2009, she was a vice president with mobile marketing agency SolidMedia. Prior to that, she worked for Warner Bros. Consumer Products from 2001 to 2008, and she also worked in retail business development at Fox Family Worldwide/Saban.
|Sales have grown since the 2008 Adidas deal.
With the influx of European "name" players like David Beckham and Thierry Henry to the league over the past several years, and the overarching Adidas license granted in 2008, MLS licensing has been growing at healthy double-digit rates and has nearly tripled over the past five years. However, Carter said there needed to be a capital investment in executive talent for MLS licensing to reach the proverbial next level.
"We will have an expanded focus, and integrate consumer products across as many of our marketing efforts as we can," Carter said. "The business has grown, but we'd like to build a bigger business at our venues, within e-commerce, soccer-specialty channels and in big-box sporting good stores. We're growing our fan base every year, so we want to grow our retail presence along with that.''
Carter said she also sees additional opportunities in hard goods, lifestyle, women's and kids products, and better servicing of hot markets. The coming season will see a bigger push behind the league's game ball from Adidas to get it to more retailers.

I've tried this twice now putting in a future date and time and both times the post published immediately
yesterday i scheduled a post or 24th july and it published immediately. why is this happening?
I've tried this twice now putting in a future date and time and both times the post published immediately
yesterday i scheduled a post or 24th july and it published immediately. why is this happening?
Hi there, I've just tested mine, if when you've written your post you use edit to set the date and time, you should then only click on save and not publish, after that your post should show up in manage posts as a draft. I make the mistake often, with the save button next to publish, try it with a test post for 10 minutes time, it usually works.
good luck.
Ahhh that was my mistake. I am used to blogger where you hit publish and it auto publishes at that time. Thanks for the help
If I save it then it knows to publish it and not keep it as a draft? I guess it's too late now for the post that has gone up today dated the 24th...
Hi there, glad its working, it can be confusing.
You can always re-edit the date on your post and re save.
good luck.
hi mikey1 i tried doing saving it as unpublished but it still shows with the date of the 24th
how do i stop it from showing until the 24th?
Hi there,as long as the date says the 24th and its unpublished it should show up under manage posts as a draft post until that date arrives, as soon as midnight the 23rd arives it should roll over and show as published, hope you get there.
thanks for explaining that mikey. i couldn't find anything in the help files on it so i just assumed it was the same as blogger!
bad news. that didn't work
i edited the time to schedule the post for 15 minutes time and saved it. when i came back to check it was still unpublished. so how do i schedule posts in advance???
Talia, I am having the same exact problem. My posts simply don't update. Any body have any more advice on this?
there is another post on it. seems some installations don't have the cron job set up to do the scheduling
i set mine up with fantastico and it doesn't appear to do it.
waiting for someone to tell me how to set the cron job up and what it should say to get this to work! if anyone knows can they please post the code here for us
can someone please tell me what cron job i need to set up to get this working? ie the code that goes within the job and any filenames i need to use. i can't find a link to this solution in the knowledge database

Brenda meets the savvy women behind Ireland's brightest wedding website, http://onefabday.com/
Our Mooney's Monday quiz will have a special theme of LOVE!
And, we look back at Sunday's massive open audition for Ireland's latest boy/girl pop band.
Well, 'tis the season as they say – to plan a wedding!
Hotels up and down the country are hosting wedding fairs at the minute - and they're trying to entice brides-and-grooms-to-be with the quirkiest, most elegant or best-value deals around. Most summer brides will buy their wedding dress around now… and the start of the New Year sees engaged couples ramp up their efforts to tick everything off the list before the Big Day.
Naoise McNally is the Managing Editor of OneFabDay.com, a wedding website that has gone from being a hobby into a full-time business, employing eight people.
The website is updated 3 or 4 times a day. It's like a really professional blog. They feature photoshoots of 'quirky' weddings from Ireland and around the world which can offer lots of fashion/venue/design tips for brides.
The second part of the website is their 21 'advertising partners' – they are all listed on the right-hand side of the webpage. They are people like photographers, hairdressers, boutiques, planners, florists, accessory shops etc. OneFabDay won't just partner up with anybody, the partner must fit the 'ethos' of OneFabDay. The partner pays an annual fee to be listed and they can 'pitch' to be featured in 'free' feature articles on the website. All the editorial content of OneFabDay is original. Check out http://onefabday.com/
Also there was mention during the programme of interfaith marriages and second marriages and if you would like more information on ceremonies which are not traditional Church ceremonies, there are 14 One Spirit Interfaith Ministers in Ireland. Many people want more than a civil ceremony but don't want to go down the traditional Religious route. For more information see http://www.interfaithministers.ie/Irish_Interfaith_Ministers/Welcome.html
Long before the Spice Girls, B*Witched and the Sugarbabes, The Nolan Sisters were the biggest girl group in Britain and Ireland.
The 6 sisters, with roots in Dublin, were one of the first pop acts from Ireland to achieve international success. In fact there was a time, in the Late 70's and Early 80's when the Nolan sisters were regular guests on show like Top of The Pos, The Two Ronnies and Morecombe and Wise.
The Nolans may have come across as 6 squeaky clean, wholesome Catholic girls but that was far from the truth.
There was a darker side to their story which involved sexual abuse, commercial exploitation and personal tragedy.
Producer/Director David Blake Knox has made a documentary on The Nolans which airs tonight on RTE1 at 9.35.
We were in County Cork last Thursday, broadcasting from the lovely town of Cobh. And one of our guests was Jim Wilson, who is well known to the Mooney Goes Wild audience.
Anyway, after the show, Jim went into his "proud daddy" mode, telling us all about his son, Barry. Barry, a drummer put up a video on YouTube which has now received nearly a million hits. The video features Barry playing along to a song called Levels by Avicii.
Barry is in our Cork Studio and will demonstrate some of his techniques for us.
To see the YouTube video go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYLi4NaoiDg
We got an email from a listener, Paul Quinn from Co Clare, whose youtube videos have been causing somewhat of a stir lately. His latest one features an acoustic cover of our National Anthem.
His Facebook page contains more information: https://www.facebook.com/PaulQuinnMusic

Critical Rating: AA

The packaging here boasts a tale of a 'Latin honeymoon,' and as best as this reviewer can guess, it provides just that. Tropical music plays in the background and the camera pans across various island locales as the Spanish-speaking vacationing couples bed each other in semi-entertaining romps.
For a people that are world renowned for being quite passionate lovers, the men and women included here are very quiet, bordering on being uptight, during their lovemaking. This problem coupled with the short running time makes Luna de Miel Latina feel more like a softcore novella than porn.

So, version 3.0 of Chipotle's iPhone app adds a number of improvements including better localization by adding support for Spanish and French languages, as well as adding support for mobile ordering in Canada, the UK, and Paris. On the menu side of things, it has added the option to order brown rice, as well as offering dynamic menu choices with specific items available on a per location basis. Food descriptions have links to nutritional info. The navigation has been improved, and you can finally use gift cards to pay.
Overall, the app is finally useful again. There's still no option for ordering Kid's Menu items or Burritos by the Box, but Chipotle is saying that will be "coming soon".
If you want to give it a try, the app is available for free in the iTunes App Store.

Volcker Panel Gives Obama Outlines for Revamping U.S. Tax Code
A task force headed by former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker handed President Barack Obama a report that may set the boundaries for administration proposals to revamp the corporate tax code.
The President's Economic Recovery Advisory Board, headed by Volcker, presented options that would lower corporate income tax rates while widening the income base covered. The panel, which took no position on the individual proposals, also outlined a menu of choices for simplifying individual income taxes.
Amid election-year fights over income taxes and the deficit, the 118-page report released yesterday isn't likely to stir any immediate action to change the tax code, said William Gale, co-director of the Tax Policy Center, a Washington research organization. It may guide the debate if the administration and Congress decide to tackle an overhaul.
"This is more like a warm-up drill, not the game itself," Gale said. "Congress has to actually want to take these issues seriously rather than use them as sound bites and campaign material. And I don't see any interest right now in doing the hard work."
The board's work is intended "to aid discussion about the wide variety of tax reform ideas" and "is not a reflection of administration ideas under consideration," Austan Goolsbee, a senior economic adviser to the president who acted as staff director for the board, wrote on the White House website.
Wider Base
One way to lower corporate tax rates without decreasing government revenue would be to expand the number of businesses required to pay corporate income tax. About half of U.S. business income isn't subject to corporate tax.
Among the options the board presented is subjecting all businesses to corporate income tax if they have "corporate characteristics," such stock that is publicly traded, assets or income above a certain level or a large number of shareholders.
Business entities not subject to corporate tax such as partnerships, S corporations and limited liability companies have grown because of changes in federal and state laws in recent decades.
The advisory panel also proposed considering limiting interest deductions available to corporations, which the report said would serve dual goals of expanding the tax base and reducing discrimination in the tax code that currently favors debt financing over equity financing.
Needing Reform
"The corporate tax system is deeply flawed and deeply in need of reform," board member Laura D'Andrea Tyson, a professor of economics at the University of California at Berkeley and former economic adviser to President Bill Clinton, said during today's session of the panel to vote on the report.
The panel also offered options for simplifying personal income taxes, retirement incentives and treatment of capital gains as well as cracking down on tax evaders to close the tax gap, or the difference between the amount of taxes owed and the amount collected.
The board also suggested consideration of a "simple return" in which the IRS would mail a pre-filled return to as many as 60 million taxpayers who don't itemize deductions and receive all their income from wages or other third-party payers. Taxpayers would then simply sign and return the form or amend it if they chose.
A simple return "would relieve millions of taxpayers from the chore of filling in tax forms" and "would reduce the frustration and anxiety of taxpayers at tax time," the board said in its report.
Time on Taxes
The panel's report said Americans spent more than 21 hours and about $140 billion filling out federal tax forms in 2008 because of the code's complexity. About 60 percent of Americans now pay others to do their taxes.
"We hope that the administration and Congress will select changes that are desirable on their merits and not worry about" creating a system of "winners and losers," the board said in its recommendations to Obama, who made tax overhaul part of his presidential campaign.
The hundreds of options cited will be submitted to a separate presidential commission that is preparing recommendations for ways to cut the deficit, Goolsbee said.
That panel is scheduled to give its report to Obama on Dec. 1, after the November elections that will decide control of Congress.
Under Review
The review has been under way since March 2009, when Obama put Volcker in charge of the tax review. The 17-member panel of chief executives, academics and economists was told to examine tax policies but to exclude options that "would raise taxes for families with incomes less than $250,000 a year."
When Volcker was named to head the panel in March 2009, then-White House Budget Director Peter Orszag said the goals were to reduce tax evasion and what he called "corporate welfare."
"There are hundreds of billions of dollars in uncollected taxes each year," Orszag said at the time. He cited academic studies suggesting that the difference is $300 billion or more and that the administration is going to be "as aggressive as possible" in reducing it.
Among members of the advisory panel: Harvard University's Martin Feldstein, former chief economic adviser to President Ronald Reagan; Tyson; Roger Ferguson, chief executive officer of Teachers Insurance & Annuity Association and a former vice chairman of the Federal Reserve; and William Donaldson, a former chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The panel also includes Jeffrey R. Immelt, chief executive of General Electric Co.; Jim Owens, chief executive of Caterpillar Inc., Richard L. Trumka, president of the AFL-CIO; Robert Wolf, chairman and chief executive officer of UBS Americas, and Penny Pritzker, who led Obama's campaign fundraising effort and is chairman of Pritzker Realty Group.

Even with State Budget Crunch, Oklahomans Favor Tax Cuts
While the governor and legislature have been strongly focused on the state budget deficit, a recent SoonerPoll found that essentially half of Oklahomans, 49.8 percent, support a proposal to reduce the Oklahoma state income tax rate. The poll found that only 37.4 percent of respondents opposed lowering the income tax rate, while 12.8 percent of respondents remain undecided.
Respondents were asked: "A proposal has been made to reduce the Oklahoma state-income-tax rate. Some people oppose the idea. They say it would result in less revenue for state government, and that state government already lacks sufficient funding to meet its important obligations. Other people favor the idea. They say it would put more money in the pockets of Oklahomans, thus boosting the economy and even offsetting some of the revenue loss. Which view comes closest to your own?"
"Our goal with this question was to see how the public felt about tax cuts, and ask it in a way that put the current budget shortfall into perspective at the same time for the respondent," said Bill Shapard, CEO of SoonerPoll. "The results show that a plurality of Oklahomans wants our elected leaders to include tax cuts while they're balancing the budget."

First Listen: Phox, 'Phox'
The word "charisma" is often used to imply a certain kind of attention-grabbing showiness, or even neediness. But it can also suggest subtle ease; a simple gravitational pull that draws people in by making them feel comfortable and at home.
A seven-piece band from Baraboo, Wis., Phox rose to prominence on the strength of its undeniable charisma — particularly that of singer Monica Martin, for whom star power seeps out of every pore — but it's the kind of approachably stylish calm that helped Norah Jones sell tens of millions of records. The band's sweetly sullen folk-pop isn't showy, needy, brash or melismatic, and it's not bound up in a melodramatic backstory. It's ingratiating without crossing into pushiness.
Soft and dreamy, with a pace that rarely rises above a moody midtempo swoon, Phox's self-titled debut has a way of seeping under the skin. From the tone-setting, virtually a cappella opener ("Calico Man") on — and especially in the snazzy back-to-back singles "Slow Motion" and "1936" — Phox dazzles with maximum gentility. The band behind Martin frames her voice in impeccable, confident arrangements throughout the record, comfortable in the well-placed knowledge that listeners will follow wherever she leads.

Kicking off the week with some media duties, Jennifer Aniston paid a visit to "Jimmy Kimmel Live" to plug her new flick "Horrible Bosses 2."
And after chatting with Kimmel for a bit, the "Rumor Has It" babe found herself in the middle of "Celebrity Curse Off" with her former costar Lisa Kudrow.
Taking care of some promotional duties, Jennifer Aniston showed up at a special Pandora Jewelry-hosted engagement in West Hollywood last night (November 23).
The "Friends" star was all smiles in a pair of designer spectacles as she posed for photos ahead of a screening of her new movie "Cake."
Kicking off the weekend a bit early, the cast of "Horrible Bosses 2" showed up at the TCL Chinese Theater in Hollywood last night (November 20).
Jennifer Aniston looked fabulous as she walked the red carpet sans fiancé Justin Theroux, while Jason Sudeikis was also without his lovely significant other Olivia Wilde.
As one of the finest actresses of her generation, it's wonderful to see Jennifer Aniston finally getting the love she deserves from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
The "Friends" star's dramatic role in the forthcoming film "Cake" is already earning her some Oscar attention as she plays a mourner suffering chronic pain- a huge departure from her usual fare.
Kicking off the day with some media duties, the cast of "Horrible Bosses 2" showed up at the Corinthia Hotel in London.
Preparing for their big release, the cast of "Horrible Bosses 2" stepped out for the world premiere in London, England on Wednesday (November 12).
Jennifer Aniston looked stunning in a black and red, asymmetrical dress that hugged her curves in all the right places.
Ending out the year with a huge score, Jennifer Aniston is featured on the front of Harper's Bazaar's forthcoming issue for December/January.
The 45-year-old "Cake" actress is darling on the cover, sporting an elegant backless dress as she gazes back over her shoulder at the camera.
We're just into November and already the awards show season is well-underway, and on Saturday (November 8) the AMPAS Governors Awards took over the Ray Dolby Ballroom at Hollywood & Highland Center.

The 32-year-old former Kangaroo international had another 12 months left on his initial three-year contract with the Giants but will return home on Friday and is expected to join Sydney Roosters. His place was taken by new signing Ukuma Ta'ai for the Giants' 34-6 win over London Broncos on Sunday but Anderson is determined to plug the gap in his squad.
"We're throwing names around at the minute," he said. "What it does is free up fair amount of salary-cap space. We're going through the process of seeing what's the best thing for us. Do we want to bring someone else in like for like or do we want to strengthen other areas?"
He added: "We have a quality squad any way and now have the ability to wait and see if anything falls off the tree either over here or in the NRL."
O'Donnell made just 23 appearances in his first two injury-hit seasons in Super League but made an impressive return in Huddersfield's opening 40-4 win at St Helens 11 days ago.
However, he missed their win over London amid reports that his wife had become homesick and that he had become unhappy over the tightening of tax regulations affecting overseas players.
"It's disappointing for him to be leaving but I fully understand his position and he goes with my best wishes," Anderson said.
Only a week ago the Giants rejected a player exchange deal proposed by Sydney Roosters but Giants managing director Richard Thewlis has confirmed the player had sought and been granted a release with no strings attached.
"Firstly I would say that deep down neither Luke nor the club wanted this outcome to be how things panned out," said Thewlis. "However, the reality is that Luke is financially in a different place now to that envisaged when he joined at the start of the 2011 season.
"The changing regulations in respect of off-shore pensions have caused him significant difficulties - as I am sure it must have for other overseas players in the UK - but fortunately for him an opportunity has arisen back home which will help him going forward."

FBI: Boston Bombing Suspect's Friend Unarmed When Shot
In a statement this week, law enforcement officials said that Ibragim Todashev, a Chechen man shot and killed while being questioned by FBI agents in Florida, was unarmed at the time of the confrontation. The agency said that the incident is under review, and will not release more details at this time. Initially, there were some conflicting reports about what happened on May 22, when FBI officials went to question Todashev about his relationship with Boston bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev and a possible connection to a 2011 triple murder.
At the time, several unnamed law enforcement officials said Todashev brandished a knife or lunged at the agents weapon during the questioning. Todashev was an MMA fighter who trained with Tsarnaev in Boston. The Council on American-Islamic Relations has asked for an independent Justice Department investigation of what the FBI is calling a "violent confrontation" that "was initiated by the individual" …

Man, this is kind of scary to think that the emotion of the event would potentially lead to law enforcement handing out death sentences.
The fact that the FBI has been taking the law into their own hands really says something about the state our officials are in. We need reform.

I'd be more impressed with your point of view if at any time you had addressed the question of whether Liverpool fans were right to convict JT of bad faith, rather than merely attacking me all the way through.In fact, I think all the way through you have missed the point. I haven't been accusing Gerrard of skiving this week. So the question of whether he played today or not is fairly academic.Robert

Sarah Palin's Editor Might Hate Sarah Palin
We mean, he did once portray her as part-woman, part-dog.
The Daily Beast hears that Adam Bellow, the HarperCollins editor who "toiled" on Sarah Palin's upcoming Going Rogue, has already anonymously co-authored a Palin book of his own a satirical, "sophomoric," and seemingly brutal paperback called Terminatrix: The Sarah Palin Chronicles, which includes an illustration of Palin's head "grafted onto a dog's body." We bet Palin didn't know about that! If Bellow slipped a Palin-as-dog photo into her autobiography, we will die, on the spot. [Daily Beast]
