I've googled this and found lots of people with this problem, but no solution yet so thought I'd try here.
We have an absolute mountain of PowerPoint 2003 presentations with pictures in. When you open them in 2010 the pictures don't appear. I've installed the compatibility pack which made no difference. I've also installed the Slideshow 2007 viewer and that does show the pictures. The OS it's all on makes no difference.
Has anyone else had this and if so, have they managed to solve it? The only way we have got round it at the moment is to open it in Office 2007 and save it as 2003 format (even though that's what it origrinally was!) with a different name and then 2010 will view it properly. We don't really want to do this with dozens, if not hundreds, of powerpoints though.
Thank you

text: Atlanta Gay Chamber rewards Richard Rhodes with Lifetime Achievement Award The GA Voice Editors September 13, 2012 Organizations "They" were the Harris Corp. out of Florida. Lanier Plaza was a subsidiary of a division of Harris Corp. and at the time a major player in the hotel industry. And someone had read the article in the Atlanta newspaper and saw that one of their employees was openly talking about being gay. "I tried to stay out of everyone's way for three days. I was in the accounting department and I know Georgia is a right to work state. I finally went to my boss and said, if they [Harris Corp.] decide to fire me, I intend to sue them. I said I realize I will lose, but it will be embarrassing for Harris Corp.," Rhodes remembered. And that was it. Nothing more was said and Rhodes worked there for five more years. While mingling with Georgia elected officials at the convention held in Atlanta in 1988, Rhodes said he got the bug to also run for office. "I thought, well, damned, I'm as smart as they are," he said. So he put his hat in the race for the Georgia House of Representatives as an openly gay man — believed to be the first gay man to run for state elected office in the state — but in a crowd of 7, he finished fifth. He didn't run for office again, but continues to remain politically involved. Rhodes retired eight years ago as the purchasing director for the prestigious Capital City Club and today remains active in the community. He helped found the SAGE organization for older LGBT residents that meets regularly at the Phillip Rush Center. He is also an active member of St. Mark United Methodist Church. His spirit and works in the community led the Atlanta Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce to reward him with a Lifetime Achievement Award at its gala tomorrow, Sept. 14, at its Community Awards. "I was totally shocked," Rhodes said when he heard he would be receiving the award. "I never considered myself a leader, always a follower," he said. "I've always been in the background. But it goes to show you, if you live longer than anyone else you'll win," he added with a laugh. The AGLCC Community Awards Dinner is Friday, Sept. 14, at the W Atlanta Midtown.

When Your Boyfriend Loses His Lover
In an open relationship you have experiences which are a rarity in other people's lives. You welcome jealousy as a teacher. You challenge what a relationship really means. But the questions that are asked and answered in the polyamorous literature rarely cover the topic... what to do when your boyfriend is grieving the loss of his lover.

Drivers along rural roads between urbanized areas of the East Valley were reminded in the last several days of potential danger to themselves and to livestock grazing in that open range: Cows' horns don't honk and horses don't come with reflectors.
As urban as our communities have become, at our Valley's edges remain the most modern version of the same interface between "country" and "city" life that's been part of the local scene for nearly 150 years.
Unfamiliar with the roaming behavior of grazing livestock, those of us from other cities may not be prepared to be instantly confronted with half a ton on four feet quickly emerging from our headlight beams.
The death of a 29-year-old woman and serious injuries to two men last weekend in two separate collisions with animals between Scottsdale and Rio Verde are grim reminders of this lesson. It's ultimately the duty of motorists to exercise particular care in traveling those roads, marked by yellow warning signs bearing the silhouette of cattle that indicate open range ahead, from the McDowells to the San Tans.
Ranchers also have a responsibility — to protect their livestock investments as well as humans traveling at fairly high speeds near their animals' grazing areas — to keep fences surrounding their lands maintained.
But Valley urbanites — too many for ranchers to keep total track of — trespass on such lands, cutting down barbed wire or trampling it, all in the name of heading into the desert for recreation. In our increasingly urbanized setting, law enforcement officials need to assign new priorities to patrolling fences, noting parts that are down and looking for trespassers.
Just as many East Valley farmers ultimately found their land was more valuable for homes and businesses than for agriculture, the day may surely come when — with so many new arrivals to Arizona migrating here each week — grazing land between islands of development also will be developed.
Until that day, livestock owners have the right to put animals on their lands with the duty to keep fences in good repair. Meanwhile, motorists need to mind their speed and be more aware of their surroundings when traveling through patches of open range. By doing so, the lives of both humans and beasts will be better protected.

Schmidt's: Bad service. Ok food. [San Francisco]
We had a big (~10 people) birthday dinner at Schmidt's on Friday night. Although the party went well the service was horrible and the food just ok.
The thing that stood out most about the experience was the slow and uninterested service. It started when we first arrived when they sat us at a table too small for our party. This was repeated not once, but twice.
Then they asked us for our drink orders going around the table. After taking three orders the waiter left to go wait on some other tables, leaving the rest of the table waiting and confused. After 20 minutes they brought our drinks (20 minutes to pour 4 beers?) and still didn't ask the rest of the table for their orders. Then finally we had to ask them to come take the rest of the orders. After going through our orders we waited another 20 minutes for the second round of beers.
This was all before the restaurant filled up.
When we called to make the reservation we asked if it would be ok to order a la carte instead of eating family style (which they suggest for large parties - but with a collection of vegans and meat lovers, graduate students and well paid techies it's just too complicated to do family style). The person on the phone said 'no problem' but when we got there they said that they didn't want to serve us a la carte and made a big deal about the fact that we didn't know the name of the person who told us that it was ok.
For the appetizers they repeated the performance with the drinks, taking just a couple orders before disappearing for 20 minutes.
When the food did arrive some people wanted more beer but were told by the waiter that he was 'busy'. We walked up to the bar instead to order and get our drinks. While not horrible, is a bit odd when you're being served in a restaurant by a waiter.
Food & Drink:
They have a selection of German beers, including some nostalgic ones for me (Fruh on tap, which is just an ok beer but if you lived near Cologne for a year holds a special place in your heart). I was excited to see Berliner Weisse 'mit schuss' available and I'm a huge fan of the woodruff (waldmeister) syrup. When I was little I would be sent into the forest to collect it in the spring when snow was still on the ground and we would make special woodruff flavored dishes. Unfortunately they only have the artificial flavored syrup, which, to be fair, is more common in Germany as well, but I was hoping some of the Northern Californian respect for fresh ingredients had rubbed off on them. Solid German beer selection, slightly high (I think the cheapest pint is $8) prices.
We ordered a meat plate appetizer. The meat was just ok and the bread not good at all. A somewhat lackluster and slightly dry (old? stale?) pumpernickle. The German couple in our group frowned at the bread - I think because Germans take pride in the quality of their bread and this just seemed like a bad advertisement conforming to all the bad expectations about dark bread.
Of course, it's probably a mistake to take German people to a German restaurant - I know that when I'm in Germany the last thing I want to do is go to an American restaurant for hamburgers (uniformly horrible in Germany btw.)
The entre plates were surprisingly small - sort of jammed onto appetizer sized plates. This was my first (and maybe only?) time going to Schmidt's so I can't say if this is what they normally do or if they just ran out of regular plates. The schnitzel was ok but nothing special - maybe slightly over browned - but certainly without the great juicy-fatty-salty-crispy spark a good schnitzel has.
The Kassler (smoked pork chop) was way way too sweet and a bit too salty. Germans generally use a lot less sugar than American's and this was not in the German style.
Spaetzle (fried egg noodles) was ok but there were too many burned pieces.
While waiting for the bathroom I noticed one of the kitchen staff opening a large plastic bag of sausages. Which sort of surprised me - I would think that a fancier german place selling $12 sausages would consider making their own. In the end it's just the same sausages you could get anywhere. I didn't have a chance to try one to check.
We had preordered apfelstrudel for desert for the entire table (with birthday candle). We were told however that there were only five pieces left so we wouldn't be able to all have a slice.
That said, the strudel was great. Flaky, not to sweet. Just right. It's too bad that the only flawless item had such limited distribution....
Despite all the problems I think everyone enjoyed themselves. In the end company is more important than food.
re: DavidT
2400 Folsom St (@20th)

Wow. Thanks for the heads up. I love German food, but after reading about your experience I wouldn't go near the place. Zero clue about good service.
Sounds like the problems all stemmed from whoever answered the phone not properly enforcing the "parties of eight or more can only order the family style menu" policy and apparently also not doing the normal follow-up for scheduling large parties (setting up a large enough table, juggling stations around as necessary so that the large-party server is not overextended).
re: Robert Lauriston
agree - i've always gone there in small groups and never had an issue.
re: Robert Lauriston
Clearly the problems started at the time of the reservation (family-style policy, table size, not reserving the strudel, etc), but it sounds like some of the problems could have been fixed at the time of the party, if some competent manager had stepped in. Two seatings at tables that were too small, two instances of partial table orders that weren't followed up, waiter "too busy" to bring more beer, etc. This is all either FOH incompetence, understaffing, or both.
re: Steve Green
If the incompetent person who answered the phone had enforced the large-party policy properly, management would probably have added another server to that shift or at least rearranged the stations so the server for the large party would have had far fewer other tables to handle.
I've had meals with large parties only slightly larger than that where we had our own dedicated server.
re: Steve Green
There's a large communal table at Schmidt's which they reserve for large groups with reservations. Lines got badly crossed on one end or the other, but in my experience with Schmidt's arranging a similar party, they were 100% professional. I called them once or twice to update the group size from 10 to 12 (response, "no problem, once you're at the communal table you can go up to 14 without any trouble"), and then they called me to confirm the reservation and that I understood their policies.
Sorry to hear it. No one likes that.
That said, honestly if a big group of 10 techies, vegans, grad students, etc. came in and you were the server at a family style service model, what would your reaction be after hearing a la carte for 10?
a) "Oh this will be easy and by golly I just know they're going to leave a big tip!" ..or..
b) "A**holes!"
Imagine if you tried this at a different family service place, like R&G or Capp's Corner. You think they'd be happy?
Also not ordering family style probably meant tiny portions and slower service.
No it wasn't professional but from the server POV, sure looks like a no-win situation. Did they add on a 18% and did you ask for separate checks?
Sorry if this sounds harsh but think about it for a second.
The drink service however has no excuse, 20 minutes for 4 beers is nuts. However I'm guessing they knew if your party were drunk, it could be worse.
re: ML8000
They included the %18 in the bill (around $80) and that's what we left (more or less). We did not ask for separate bills and split it ourselves at the table. We were out of there in time for further seatings at the table.
Why should they be thinking we're "A**holes!"?
Not ordering family style should mean you get whatever they normally serve. It's a restaurant with a a la carte menu. We ordered from their menu. I'm confused that you seem to think we gave them a reason to do a crappy job or that we should get smaller portions. We should get exactly what they serve anyone else who orders from the (standard) a la carte menu. Nothing more, nothing less.
They didn't do family service for any of the other tables either (groups of 2-6). Sure they have a policy for larger groups but they agreed to waive it for our group. I still don't see why that should mean we get bad service.
And I'm also not sure what you mean by "no win" situation. We weren't particularly demanding of their time (not that they gave us any) or with special requests (unless you count ordering off their normal menu).
Also when you write: "...I'm guessing they knew if your party were drunk, it could be worse". Are you saying they plotted to give us poor slow service to keep us not drunk? Has that ever happened to you before? Bad service - before anybody orders even one drink - just to possibly keep you not drunk? Really? This doesn't make any sense.
(As an aside that is actually completely irrelevant, nobody had more than two beers - either since the servers didn't come around or their own abstinence. It's not like we were some loud obnoxious party drinking and harassing the staff. Dare I say, we were even a family friendly crowd).
I find your comment confusing.
I think that the problem stemmed from a lack of planning by the manager. Our table wasn't arranged, they re-seated us twice because of a lack of organization (and counting ability?), the server was (apparently) over extended, and they probably should have either informed the staff that we would be a la carte or told us it was impossible when we reserved. And they should have communicated that we reserved strudel for 10 not 5.
That said, once we were there they also should have done a proper job. Isn't that the professional thing to do?
re: boris_qd
The problem stemmed from a lack of planning which was probably due entirely to the person who took the reservation making multiple mistakes so that when you showed up they weren't able to handle your party properly.
If they were shorthanded it was too late to do anything about it. They hadn't reorganized the stations to deal with the large party, and other parties were probably already seated in such a way that it was too late to sort it out properly. They were in a lose-lose situation.
That's why they were so interested in getting the name of the person who took the reservation. They'd probably fire them.
re: Robert Lauriston
You're probably right about this.
But that said, they even made us feel awkward with the press for a name (which we didn't know since we didn't think the remember who said "Hi this is ___ from Schmidt's calling about your reservation..." when they called us).
And the short staffing doesn't really explain the beer ordering problem since the place was essentially empty when we arrived (just one or two couples at other tables).
re: boris_qd
Take it for what it's worth, or not. No offense meant but if a party of 10 comes into a restaurant with a family service model and orders a la carte, with varying needs, you're asking for trouble or confusion.
It's as simple as knowing that these places are use to throwing down big portions on a platter and delivering it to a table. 4-5 platters, plates, silverware and delivered, you're ready.
10 plated a la carte orders, from a place use to platters, it's going to take a lot longer and there might be resentment or simply a lack of desire to move fast.
The a-hole comment is stuff servers think when they see trouble. Sorry if that was harsh but ask a server in that situation what they really think.
Yes, they should have explained the policy (and stuck to it) but think about it from their POV. Think if this was reversed - you went to a formal place and wanted family style...they could do it but since they're not use to it, the experience will likely suffer. One special request like a child, no biggie..but the whole table? They're going to ask themselves, why are you here?
Again no offense but what did you expect? It's not unlike going to a place that specializes in a certain dish or kind, say Cuban food...but you order the spaghetti.
See what I'm getting at? By requesting a change in food or service model that isn't their focus, you risk a bad experience. I'm not saying this is right or wrong, just it's more likely to happen.
re: ML8000
Just a small remark. It's not a "family style place" - most of their order are a la carte. There were no other family style tables - everyone (including us) was a la carte.
re: boris_qd
My bad on that, and seriously sorry for the bad experience. No one likes that. Perhaps email or a note to them would be worth it. If they really wanted the reservation taker's name, they should also be interested in making some amends.
Sorry to hear you had a crummy experience. I've been there twice and food and service was very good. It's been about a year, maybe personnel has changed.
re: Mission
OP said >>The schnitzel was ok but nothing special - maybe slightly over browned - but certainly without the great juicy-fatty-salty-crispy spark a good schnitzel has.>>
You are certainly not going to find that at Gaumenkitzel. Gaumenkitzel has very high quality, very spare food in small servings with a lot of greens. Order a salad, and the chances are a similar or identical salad will also appear with your (small) meat course. I like Gaumenkitzel, but there is no spirit of gemutlich there, in decor or food.
Maybe at Teske's in San Jose; but not even Speisekammer in Alameda makes a great schnitzel.
I grew up on great German and Polish food in Chicago. You don't find it here. I do love Gaumenkitzel's sauerkraut, but Speisekammer's is almost as good and their Nurmberger sausage/sauerkraut starter is a terrific bargain. Very good Kassler; almost as good as Wente's and a lot cheaper (along with being nearer to our house, LOL). Good service, they wouldn't have batted an eye at 10 or 12 people for dinner.
Teske's makes a dynamite Jagerschnitzel, but their sausages are vastly inferior commercial links to Speisekammer's and Gaumenkitzel's housemade ones.
re: mdg
I agree with Michael on the sauerbraten (and thanks for the tip on Leopold's, I'd heard about their schnitzel but we seldom get into the City any longer).
Speisekammer makes a superb Schweinebraten, though: it's described as Roasted Pork in Beer Sauce but tastes more like a braise. Thick, tender, juicy slices in a good gravy.
The trouble with CA's mania for range-fed beef is that it's too lean for good stewing beef. It's enough to make one go out and buy a larding needle again.
I have to say I think this is quite unfair of you. The restaurant's web site says family style is required for parties of 8 or more. Making the reservation gets you the nice big communal table. The price is only $25 per person including dessert, which with 2 beers per person is about exactly what your total came to if your 18% tip was $80.
I went to Schmidt's for my birthday a few years ago, and they handled our group beautifully with the family style menu. They took good care of the vegetarians, giving them special orders of things like the pea pancakes without the smoked salmon. Large platters of fresh salads, sausages, and other tasty foods abounded.
Their kitchen and staffing is simply too small to handle large groups with custom orders. But for our group, following the rules, we got prompt and friendly service, with good food.
re: SteveG
This is unfair of you. The OP received a confirmation from restaurant staff that his/her request would be accommodated. Regardless of this, it doesn't excuse the bizarre service they encountered. It's lovely that your experience went smoothly, but that doesn't mean the restaurant didn't really screw this one up.
re: Spenbald
There's nothing very bizarre about the restaurant having an epic fail when a large party showed up that they had not prepared for.
The only odd bit was that an untrained person answered the phone and screwed things up.
re: Spenbald
The OP hasn't said if he was the one who made the reservation. I don't think they had a reservation. If they did, they would have been seated at the communal table, which seats 14. The fact that they were juggled about on smaller tables suggests the restaurant had no notice of their size, or they would not have seated other parties at the large table. Perhaps the person who answered the phone said if they didn't mind being seated in smaller groups they could order a la carte. If there was really a reservation for 10 people on the books, multiple staff members had to have screwed up to explain the seating issue, not just the person who answered the phone. If they made a reservation for 6 and then expanded it to 10 and expected to have a good experience, that really isn't fair.
In any case, we chowhounds know that ordering the right items, or asking the right way, can work wonders in a restaurant. Working within the constraints of a restaurant to get what you want is always going to be more successful than demanding something they don't have the facilities to do, that they have policies against doing, and that they don't want to do.
re: SteveG
We had a reservation and it was when they called us back to confirm that we talked about the changes we'd like and they agreed.
In fact, some details I omitted from the first description. When we arrived a party of 3 or 4 was sitting at the large table. That might be why they tried to put us at a smaller table (although it was clear we wouldn't fit. I can't really say why they then tried to seat us at another table that was too small. Maybe the four at the large table were VIPs?)
I'm not sure about "we chowhounds" (I've been posting and reading for something like a decade now - does that make me a chowhound?) but if you ask for something different than policy, and they agree, they need to follow up with proper service. The restaurant doesn't have to agree to exceptions but if they do they should do it right. That's what a quality place does. Once we arrived it was too late for us to change our plans.
It was also clear they had our reservation because when we walked in they we gave our name and they said something like "you're the large party of 10" and we said "yes".
I find posters who try and blame us somehow for Schmidt's messing up (either through poorly trained/new staff or some other miscommunication) somewhat comical. I had never been to Schmidt's and leave it up to them to decide what they can handle. Am I supposed to measure their kitchen, check their staffing and second guess what their staff says on the phone? Is that what "we chowhounds" do?
I any case. Discounting the service problems the food (as reviewed above) wasn't particularly good German food. It wasn't bad but it wasn't good German food either.
re: boris_qd
Thanks for the follow up and further explanation. I've found, to my dismay, that some on the SF Chowhound Board in particular are very quick to discount, chastise, and belittle, and are incredibly pedantic. It unfortunately belies the spirit of Chowhound in general.
re: boris_qd
When they don't have a large party booked, the large table is communal. They seat walk-ins there.
They clearly somehow sort of half-booked your party. They had the reservation in the book / computer but they neglected to hold the communal table and maybe add an extra server.
You're not to blame for that, but asking a restaurant to make an exception to its large-group policies is asking for trouble. One employee screwed up royally, but the problem's not an indication of any general problems with service there.
I've been there three times, two of the three times we had poor service with our waiter forgetting out drinks, one time for forgetting a dish and another time seeming to forgot us completely once we got our food and we were parties of 2 and 3. Their neighbor above them has signs that say "bad neighbor" and it seems to translate to lackadaisical service. So it may not have just been you were a larger party.
I found the portions per price to be small.
Regardless of whether the person taking your order did the wrong thing (and it sounds like they did) the manager should have jumped and help the waiter if they were overwhelmed. The customer should never even know there is an issue.
A German friend calls it pre-packaged German since much of the food is already made like the sausages & the cured meat and imported and it's like all the food is the idea of the German dish without the skill to make it.
The fact that you pre-ordered the strudel and they didn't even make a note of that when they took the reservation is a huge fail.
Just want to provide another opinion to counterbalance. I've been to Schmidtt's many times (but never in a large group), and have always found the service to be pleasant, albeit casual. We've been many times with our newborn (ticking timebomb), and they always get us out of there in just about an hour.
In addition, I've always had good experiences with the food, but then again, I get the sausage and beer and probably am not expecting much. I do think it's good value though, often taking home lots of potato salad and sausage. I agree that the pork chop is too sweet, and can't remember the schnitzel at all. In general I think of Schmidtt's as a reliable place (that accepts walk-ins) for a casual dinner, and have always been quite happy with the experience.

Blues artist Janiva Magness will play a free concert in Hinesville Friday.
The Hinesville Area Arts Council has finalized the entertainment schedule for the 11th annual Blues & BBQ Festival, set for 1-11 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 20, in downtown Hinesville.
Register early at www.active.com for the Dawn of the Zombies 5K run, which starts at 8 a.m. Oct. 18 at Holbrook Outdoor Recreation Area.
"The Lego Movie," rated PG, will be shown free at 8:30 p.m. Friday in Bryant Commons amphitheater, 438 Oglethorpe Highway in Hinesville.
Latin-jazz percussionist Sam Rodriguez of Jacksonville will perform at the next Jazz in the Park concert from 7-9 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 24, at Neptune Park on St. Simons Island.
"Hercules" is the second attempt this year to make an incarnation of the Greek warrior after "The Legend of Hercules." For me, "Hercules" is like a lot of other characters in literature and mythology, such as Dracula or Robin Hood, that have been subjected to various cinematic interpretations. Everyone from Disney to Arnold Schwarzenegger has taken a stab at it.
The 3rd Infantry Division Band's brass quintet, woodwind quintet and jazz combo performs its monthly Rhythm of the Marne concert. The concert is free and open to the public. It will be at 7 p.m. Thursday in Fort Stewart's Marne Garden. Visitors without military ID should access Fort Stewart via Gate 1's visitor center
Bistro Night returns to Thunder Run restaurant at Club Stewart Friday.
I like bologna - the mild sausage made from beef or meat scraps (beef, pork, turkey and/or chicken), not baloney, the mess you hear from TV infomercials about snake-oil pills that increase your memory, help you lose weight, fight bad breath and increase your personal wealth.
Here's what the stars have in store for you this week:
The Hinesville Area Arts Council is accepting applications for barbecue connoisseurs to compete at the 11th annual Blues & BBQ Festival, set for 4-11 p.m. Sept. 20.
A Community Activities, Information and Registration and Back-to-School Fair will be from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. July 30 at Tominac Fitness Center on Hunter.
Every day, twice a day I check my garden to see if I have any "maters" ripe and ready for picking. In less sophisticated parts of the country, this veggie-fruit is called a tomato, but I live in Georgia, so I call them maters.
The Hinesville Area Arts Council is accepting applications for barbecue contestants for the 11th annual Blues & BBQ Festival, set for 4-11 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 20.
DVD's expected in stores an online next week include:
The "Hunger Games" series continues with the recently released third installment, "Mockingjay - Part 1," which goes the same route that worked for both the "Harry Potter" and "Twilight" series: Split the final chapter into two parts to milk the proverbial cash cow.
Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's closures and change of hours of Family, Morale, Welfare and Recreation facilities are available at:
It's been 20 years since Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels graced us as two of the most lovable idiots in the history of cinema.
Ever since he grabbed the public's attention with the Oscar-nominated "Memento" in 2000, director Christopher Nolan has established himself as one of the most brilliant filmmakers of the 21st century.
"Nightcrawler" is nothing short of a revelation in filmmaking. It features a powerhouse performance by Jake Gyllenhaal and contains characters and an atmosphere that completely is in service to its story. I think if Michael Mann had made either "Broadcast News" or "Network," this is probably what it would look like.

His death is the first in the 17-year history of the games. Last week, Moore's snowmobile went out of control during an X Games event and crashed into the crowd. Moore required emergency heart surgery after the accident in Aspen, Colorado, where the X Games are being held this year. Family spokeswoman Chelsea Lawson said in a statement on behalf of the family that Moore passed away on Thursday morning and "will be truly missed and never forgotten." "The family wishes to express their deep gratitude for all the prayers and support they have received from all the fans, friends and family around the world that Caleb has inspired," Lawson said. "They would also like to thank the physicians and medical staff at both Aspen Valley Hospital and St. Mary's Hospital, Grand Junction for their care and dedication. "At this time, the family will not be making any other public statements. They continue to decline interviews. Thank you for continuing to respect the family's privacy during this difficult time."

So, you want to use your iPhone as a remote control? There are a couple of ways to do that.
If you are getting your content through a computer-like device, such as a Media Center PC, Apple TV or Xbox, you have many options at your fingertips, so to speak.
With special software running on your entertainment server, apps like XBMC Remote (and others listed below) essentially turn your iPhone into a secondary display, so you can navigate your TV shows, movies and other content just as you would from your handheld remote and TV display.
For example, while you're watching Flash Forward on the big screen, you can hit the "info" button on the iPhone to learn more about the actors. Or you could flip through your movie collection and double-tap to send a flick to the big screen.
What you cannot do, however, is control your traditional A/V gear with these apps. You'll need to reach for a traditional universal remote to turn the TV on and off, or to tee up the Blu-ray player.
Or you could team up your iPhone with special hardware to turn the handheld into a real universal remote, capable of operating your entire theater with the press of a button.
The hardware takes WiFi or Bluetooth commands from your iPhone and converts them into infrared (IR) signals that can be understood by TVs and other consumer electronics. We've rounded up a sample of products and apps to get you started.

Community Counts gives you a chance to learn more about the people and the organizations that have a positive impact on our community. This week we feature the Rivanna Conservation Society.
Robbi Savage joined CBS19's Bo Sykes to talk more about the RCS, which is celebrating its 20-year anniversary in 2010.
The RCS was created by four friends in Fluvanna County who loved the Rivanna River and wanted it to be cared for and protected. As the "Voice of the Rivanna," RCS works to safeguard the ecological, recreational, historical, cultural and scenic resources of the Rivanna River and its tributaries.
To achieve its mission, RCS sponsors events and activities like the annual River Clean Up and facilitates the community's involvement in World Water Monitoring Day, among many other things. In fact, Virginia leads the nation in World Water Monitoring Day participation, thanks in large part to the efforts of RCS and the schools throughout the Rivanna watershed.
The Rivanna Conservation Society is always looking for volunteers and new members. To become a part of RCS, interested parties can visit RivannaRiver.org or call 434-97-RIVER.

The Project is hosting its annual Shirley Chisholm Day on Thursday, November 20 at 11:00 AM in the Brooklyn College Student Center. This year's keynote speaker is none other than the Reverend Al Sharpton. We chose Reverend Sharpton because he attended Brooklyn College and he was Mrs. Chisholm's youth organizer when she ran for president in 1972. We have no doubt that Reverend Sharpton will inspire us with his words, especially given recent events.
We at the Project would like to invite you to join us for Shirley Chisholm Day 2014. Shirley Chisholm, as the first black Congresswoman and the first African American and the first woman to make a serious run for the presidency of the United States, is an important part of American history. More importantly, Chisholm, who hails from Bedford-Stuyvesant and who is a graduate of our very own Brooklyn College, is an integral part of Brooklyn history and her legacy a beacon of light for our students.
The Project Director can be contacted at firstname.lastname@example.com
The Shirley Chisholm Project honored the lives of civil rights activists James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner at Shirley Chisholm Day 2010. We welcomed Ben Chaney, David Goodman Steve Schwerner; brothers of the murdered civil rights activists. President Obama just awarded Chaney, Goodman and Schwerner with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Shirley Chisholm was the first African-American woman elected to Congress and one of Brooklyn College's most famous alumni. Yet many people under 40 know little of her, says Brooklyn College professor Barbara Winslow. Hoping to raise awareness of the political trailblazer, Winslow penned the new biography, Shirley Chisholm: Catalyst for Change.
Hi, I am Shirlla a 5th grade student from PS 316. In my class, we have been studying the struggles of African Americans. One person in particular is Shirley Chisholm. She was the first black congress women for the New York state. What stood out to me about her is she changed the rules for the United States. I learned that Shirley and me have some things in common, we are both from the West Indies, our names in common, my mothers' name is also Shirley, and we both are from Brooklyn. If it wasn't for Shirley Chisholm many of the people I know wouldn't have had the opportunities that they have been granted.
Shirley Chisholm made a speech about children in the 1960s, that was really brave. She challenged Americans to think about children in our city. The speech spoke about how males with poor education were often drafted into Vietnam. Usually the outcome of these draft resulted in family loss. Shirley Chisholm saw the hypocrisy in these times. A nation that was still under-going radical change hadn't change. So Shirley called everybody out.
Shirley Chisholm fought to receive a fair education for children in all places. I think of Shirley Chisholm as a woman who would not be afraid to give her thoughts. She would do anything to advance America.
Shirrla is a fifth grade student at p.s. 316 Elijah G. Stroud Elementary School, School of Excellence for All Students, Brooklyn, NY. We are so proud of her accomplishments, and by giving this speech about the great Shirley Chisholm, she has started a chain reaction making her a Catalyst for Change.
Basil A. Paterson, who died at 87 on Wednesday, belonged to a generation of clubhouse Harlem politicos who rose to prominence a half-century ago and now recedes from the stage.
Long after he'd been a state senator, lieutenant governor candidate, labor attorney, New York City deputy mayor, and the first African-American appointed as New York's secretary of state, happenstance would make him the father of a New York governor.
In 1985, a journalist dubbed the elder Paterson — together with Rep. Charles Rangel, pol-turned-businessman Percy Sutton and future Mayor David Dinkins — the "Harlem Gang of Four" as they coalesced behind a close colleague, Assemb. Herman "Denny" Farrell Jr., for mayor.
The name stuck.
Dinkins, a friend and one-time law partner of the elder Paterson, said somberly Thursday that he got word of the death late Wednesday. "Basil's family knows that Charlie Rangel and I and [former NAACP leader] Hazel Dukes are sort of like family and stand ready to be helpful," Dinkins explained.
Farrell told Newsday: "There are many people who would like to get things done but don't. He got things done. And another good thing about him was that he didn't suffer fools well. He'd let you know in a nice way, not a sharp way, 'This is stupid, it's not gonna work.' "
If anyone had reason to know politics can be quirky, it was Basil Paterson.
When gubernatorial candidate Eliot Spitzer was picking a candidate for lieutenant governor in 2006, the whole Gang of Four gave full-throated support to Leecia Eve of Buffalo for the post.
To their apparent surprise, Spitzer chose Basil's son David Paterson, then a state senator, who ascended to the top job when the scandal-vexed Spitzer quit in 2008.
During Paterson's tenure, William Cunningham III, a colleague of Basil Paterson, was dispatched from the firm Meyer, Suozzi, English and Klein, to help out as a top aide to the governor.
The firm, based in Garden City, served as the elder Paterson's base for many years. Until his death, he co-chaired its labor and government-relations practice and represented big unions, including 1199/SEIU and the United Federation of Teachers.
"What was different about Basil was he took each person on his or her own merits. He probably had enemies, but I can't tell you one and I'd been around Basil since 1970," said the firm's chairman, Harold Ickes.
Likewise, ex-Manhattan Borough President Ruth Messinger recalled Paterson's "unbelievable ability to mediate between people with different points of view."
Before his death, Paterson's roles and recollections were making their way into historical books.
He's quoted in a new book "Shirley Chisholm, Catalyst for Change" by Barbara Winslow, about the late congresswoman who came up in Brooklyn politics in the 1950s and later worked alongside Paterson in the State Legislature.
"If you think being a woman is bad now . . . [it was] horrible then. Women were not included in meetings," Paterson is recorded there as saying. "Shirley proved . . . you could get out there and run for higher office. And you could be your own person."
In his 2007 autobiography, Rangel — now in a hard primary scrap for a 23rd term in Congress — credited Paterson for encouraging him to join the New Era Democratic Club, which helped launch his career.

The Shirley Chisholm Project of Brooklyn Women's Activism celebrates the life and mourns the passing of Basil Paterson; leading figure in New York State Politics, close friend, colleague and political collaborator. At the dedication of the Shirley Chisholm State Building in downtown Brooklyn, Paterson's son and former New York State governor, David recalled how Chisholm was often at the family's dinner table. The young David sat next to Chisholm, with whom he spoke about the importance of education and politics. He supported her 1972 presidential run.
Paterson was born in Harlem on April 27, 1926 to Leonard James and Evangeline Alicia (Rondon) Paterson. His life intertwined with Chisholm on many levels. His parents were also Caribbean immigrants; with his father born on the island of Carriacou in the Grenadines and arriving to the United States by way of New York City aboard the S.S. Vestris in 1917, and his mother born in Kingston, Jamaica and arriving in the States by way of Philadelphia aboard the S.S. Vestnorge in 1919 with a final destination of New York City. The former Ms. Rondon once served as secretary for Marcus Garvey.
Paterson became involved in Democratic politics in Harlem in the 1950s and 1960s. A member of the Gang of Four—with former New York Mayor David Dinkins, the late former Manhattan Borough President Percy Sutton, and Congressman Charles Rangel—Paterson has been a leader of the Harlem Clubhouse which has dominated Harlem politics since the 1960s. In 1965, along with Chisholm, Sutton, Rangel and Dinkins, Paterson founded the New York State Democratic Party's Black and Latino Caucus, which is still active.
In 1965, Paterson was elected to the New York State Senate representing the Upper West Side of Manhattan and Harlem, where he worked with Chisholm on a series of important legislative projects, including the passage of the SEEK (Seek Employment, Empowerment and Knowledge) Program. He gave up his Senate seat in 1970 to run for Lieutenant Governor of New York, the running mate of former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Arthur Goldberg. Chisholm decisively campaigned for Paterson to be on the ticket. The Goldberg/Paterson ticket lost to the Republic ticket of incumbent Governor Nelson Rockefeller and Lt. Gov. Malcolm Wilson. Later, Democrats had to grudgingly admit that Chisholm had been right in demanding Paterson be on the ticket.
In 1978, Paterson was appointed as Deputy Mayor of New York City by then Mayor Ed Koch. He stepped down as deputy mayor in 1979 to become Secretary of State of New York—the first black person in the post—and served until the end of the Hugh Carey administration in 1982.
Paterson is a member of the law firm of Meyer, Suozzi, English & Klein, P.C., where he co-chaired the firm's labor law practice.
Paterson is the father of former New York Governor, David Paterson, who was elected Lieutenant Governor in 2006 on a ticket with Gov. Eliot Spitzer. David Paterson succeeded to the governor's office upon Spitzer's resignation on March 17. David survives him, as does his wife Portia Hairston, their other son Daniel and five grandchildren.
The honorable Basil Paterson was interviewed in 2012 for the Shirley Chisholm Project.
Standing By Her Story: Anita Hill is Celebrated in the Documentary 'Anita'
WALTHAM, Mass. — On the day in 1991 that the Senate confirmed Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court, Anita Hill — the little-known law professor who riveted the nation by accusing him of sexual harassment — faced news cameras outside her simple brick home in Norman, Okla., with her mother by her side, and politely declined to comment on the vote.
In the nearly 23 years since, Ms. Hill, now a professor of social policy, law and women's studies at Brandeis University here, has worked hard, she likes to say, to help women "find their voices." She has also found hers — and she is not afraid to use it.
"I believe in my heart that he shouldn't have been confirmed," she said in a recent interview, acknowledging that it irritates her to see Justice Thomas on the court. "I believe that the information I provided was clear, it was verifiable, it was confirmed by contemporaneous witnesses that I had talked with. And I think what people don't understand is that it does go to his ability to be a fair and impartial judge."
It was a surprisingly candid comment from a deeply private woman who has long been careful in the spotlight. But the quiet life Ms. Hill has carved out for herself is about to be upended — by her own choice — with the release of a documentary, "Anita," opening on March 21 in theaters in Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York.
For those too young to remember, Ms. Hill was the reluctant witness in the explosive Thomas hearings, the young African-American lawyer in the aqua suit, grilled in excruciatingly graphic detail by an all-white, all-male Senate Judiciary Committee. The hearings transformed the country, sparking a searing conversation about sexual harassment, as well as Ms. Hill, who was vilified as a liar by conservatives but ultimately embraced, as the film shows, by a new generation of young women.
Directed by the Academy Award winner Freida Mock, the documentary — which does not reveal Ms. Hill's current views on Justice Thomas — chronicles her plunge, and the nation's, into a volatile stew of sex, race and politics. For the professor, the film is a chance to show the public (and on a deeply personal level, her large extended family) that she has survived, thrived and, as she says, "moved on."
Yet like Anita the person, "Anita" the movie is bound to unleash raw feelings in Washington. Some conservative Republicans still revile Ms. Hill. Some Democrats — including Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., who "did a terrible job" running the hearings, in Ms. Hill's view — would probably like to forget her.
A spokeswoman for Mr. Biden said the vice president "continues to wish nothing but the best for Anita Hill." Justice Thomas, who supervised Ms. Hill at two federal agencies and has categorically denied her accusations, declined to comment. (In his 2007 autobiography, he referred to Ms. Hill as "my most traitorous adversary.") But his backers, who include some devoted female former clerks, are not shy about speaking out.
"I honestly think she's just making it up," said Carrie Severino, a former Thomas clerk and chief counsel of the Judicial Crisis Network, an advocacy group. "I think she's built her career on that story. She is using that and using him as a way of boosting her own career, and that's really shameful."
One subject Ms. Hill will not address is Justice Thomas's voting record. If a backlash is coming, she said, she is ready. During an hourlong conversation in an airy gallery in Brandeis's Rose Art Museum, she listened to Ms. Severino's critique, thought for a moment, then smiled wryly.
"I've heard worse," she finally said.
At 57, Ms. Hill, the youngest of 13 children from a rural Oklahoma farm family, is in many ways the same poised, dignified woman America met 23 years ago. She has the same lyrical voice, the same way of answering questions with perfect precision and gentle pushback. (Asked if she voted for Vice President Biden, whom she faults for failing to call other women and harassment experts as witnesses, she laughed and said, "I voted for President Obama.")
Yet she is also profoundly changed.
"I think this event changed the course of her life and gave her a public mission that she took on," said Fred Lawrence, the Brandeis president and a Yale Law School classmate of Ms. Hill's. "It's not a duty that she volunteered for, but I think she understood that the circumstances had put her in a unique role, and gave her a voice."
The hearings were a surreal spectacle, as senators prodded an obviously uncomfortable Ms. Hill through awkward testimony about penis size, pubic hair and a pornographic film star known as Long Dong Silver — shocking public discourse at the time. When the hearings ended, Ms. Hill returned to teaching commercial law at the University of Oklahoma, trying, as she says in the film, to find "a new normal." It proved difficult.
There were thousands of letters of support, but also death threats, threats to her job. Conservative state lawmakers wanted her fired; fortunately, she had tenure. Even years later, she felt "a discomfort," she said. One dean confided that he had tired of hearing colleagues at other schools remark, "Isn't that where Anita Hill is?"
In Washington, her testimony reverberated. Sexual harassment claims shot up. "Our phones were ringing off the hook with people willing to come forward who had been suffering in silence," said Marcia D. Greenberger, founder and co-president of the National Women's Law Center in Washington, where Ms. Hill serves on its board.
Congress passed a law allowing victims of sex discrimination to sue for damages, just as victims of racial discrimination could. Waves of women began seeking public office. In 1991, there were two female senators. Today there are 20.
But if Washington moved on, Ms. Hill could not. Once, in an Oklahoma airport, she bumped into Arlen Specter, the Pennsylvania senator who had accused her of perjury and who died in 2012. He said maybe they could work together on some things, that she should call him. Ms. Hill was astonished; she never did. Just one senator, Paul Simon of Illinois, made amends; before he died, he sent Ms. Hill his autobiography with a nice inscription.
"For them, it's all about politics," she said. "For me, it was about my life."
She published a memoir in 1997; the following year, she joined Brandeis, teaching courses and pursuing research on gender and racial inequality. Years passed; her notoriety receded. Today, many of her students have no idea who Anita Hill is.
Ms. Hill wants young people to know. She had previously resisted entreaties from filmmakers, she said. But in 2010, with the 20th anniversary of the hearings approaching, she decided it was time "to revisit this, and for people to understand who I am."
A friend introduced her to Ms. Mock, whose 1994 film about the architect Maya Lin won an Oscar for best feature documentary. With Ms. Hill, the director said, she wanted to tell "the story of an ordinary person who does an extraordinary act."
The movie, which premiered at Sundance last year to good reviews, opens with the voice of Justice Thomas's wife, Ginni, in a 2010 message on Ms. Hill's office answering machine, asking her to "consider an apology and some full explanation of why you did what you did with my husband." (Ms. Hill initially thought it was a prank.) It intersperses old footage of the hearings with interviews with Ms. Hill; her lawyer, the Harvard law professor Charles J. Ogletree Jr.; some supporters and two journalists, Jill Abramson, now executive editor of The New York Times, and Jane Mayer of The New Yorker, co-authors of a 1994 book, "Strange Justice," that raised questions about Justice Thomas's candor.
The film follows Ms. Hill through a 20th-anniversary commemoration, where awe-struck young women, some in tears, thank her and praise her courage. Emily May, a co-founder of Hollaback!, a nonprofit group that fights street harassment, was among them.
"We all felt like we were seeing this legend," Ms. May said.
The movie also offers a glimpse, albeit a thin one, into Ms. Hill's private life. Viewers learn that she has kept the aqua linen suit (the Smithsonian has asked for it, but she is "still very protective," she said); watch her attend a joyful family wedding; and discover that she has a longtime companion, the businessman Chuck Malone, about whom she will say little.
She wears a diamond band, a gift from him, on her left ring finger. "I know," she said, laughing. "Everybody sees this ring. I guess I'm not such a traditionalist as to think that I need to, at this moment, marry."
Today, Ms. Hill is working mostly on a strategic plan for Brandeis; she plans to use a sabbatical next year to organize her letters. If she has a legacy, experts say, it is in creating a vocabulary for Americans to talk about sexual harassment, where none existed before. In 1991, after a confidential memo containing Ms. Hill's accusations leaked out, seven female Democratic House members marched over to the Senate to demand that she be called as a witness.
"I can't even imagine a hearing today where a woman would come forth with an accusation of sexual harassment, and it would be ignored," said Representative Nita Lowey, the New York Democrat who was among them. "Today, we probably would have thousands of women from all over the country march to the Capitol."
As women in the military and on college campuses grapple with sexual assault, Ms. Lowey said there was still more work to be done. Ms. Hill agrees.
But she wants America to know that "I have a good life," a life of meaning and purpose, that "something positive" has come out of those dark 1991 days. Looking back, she said, she sometimes marvels at how hard her critics worked to destroy her.
"And yet," she said, sounding satisfied, "here I am."

November 26, 2014
PARIS (AP) - Serena Williams' bid for a third consecutive Grand Slam title has been ended by Svetlana Kuznetsova in the quarterfinals of the French Open.
Williams was unable to convert a set point in the opening set and lost a seesaw struggle 7-6 (3), 5-7, 7-5 Wednesday.
The No. 7-seeded Kuznetsova faced a break point serving at 5-6 in the first set but erased it with a slam. That started a stretch where she won nine of 10 points to take the lead.
Williams rallied three points from defeat to win the second set and led 3-1 in the third. But Kuznetsova mounted her comeback and broke in the final game when Williams pushed a backhand wide.
Williams, seeded second, had won 18 consecutive Grand Slam matches and was bidding for her 11th major title.

Roger Mathews: Dying to Marry JWOWW for Some Reasonby Hilton Hater at . Comments
Might Snooki not be the only Jersey Shore cast member to walk down the aisle in the near future?
In a new interview with People, Jenni "JWOWW" Farley makes it clear that things with boyfriend Roger Mathews are going well. Just how well?
"[Roger's] dad is dying for us to get married," JWOWW says. "He wants grandchildren. He texts me almost every day for that."
Before JWOWW does get pregnant, she might wanna talk to her pal about how babies can apparently feel orgasms.
Farley and Mathews already live together and the latter admits he's anxious to make an honest woman out of the reality star, but: "There's no rush ... no trophy for being first. But do we want to get married? Oh yeah. Absolutely."
There's only one thing standing in the way of the couple's dream. Isn't that right, JWOWW?
"I just want a big ring," she says. "That's all I care about – a big ring."
[Photo: WENN.com]
.....DAMN girl...a big aSS ring!!! Thats it..? Your man N who your going to end up spending the rest of your days with...thats what you should be focused on.....N please....dont bring any kids into the world! Youre worse than Snooki....lol
A big ring is all she cares about? Not love or being compatable or having a long wonderful future and family. A big ring. At least her values are in the right place. Not. What a nut. I pity the children any of these idiots have
Jwow has body.
J Woww, what makes you think your trashy a$$ deserves a big ring? Materialistic and shallow much? And what the heck is wrong with your face in this pic? You really need to lay off the surgery...it's not a good look!

Documentary Editors Rock 'Filmage' Post Production with AJA Io XT
"Filmage: The Story of DESCENDENTS/ALL" began as a passion project for a group of creatives working at Dallas-based post house CharlieUniformTango (CUT), and quickly evolved into a full-fledged documentary production. Within four years, the film's directors Deedle LaCour and Matt Riggle, along with editors Justin Wilson and James Rayburn, had traveled the world, combining a love for old-school punk music with filmmaking chops to deliver an indie flick that recounts the history and influence of punk rock legends the Descendents. The film features a compilation of present-day interviews with band members and industry influencers, fan video submissions and archived tour media. Editorial for the film required a portable and flexible workflow, for which Rayburn turned to AJA's Io XT Thunderbolt-enabled professional video device for on-the-go I/O. [FULL STORY]
