OpenOffice.org in the Limelight
OpenOffice.org is a great set of software, consisting of several useful components that offer a lot of options. It is customizable and introduces many open formats for documents. In order to adapt the basic configurations to your particular needs, OpenOffice.org allows you to prepare macros and additional scripts.
I work as an editor at a Polish free software magazine. At the beginning of the editorial process, the author supplies the text and the editor edits it. Editing means removing common content-related and formal mistakes or errors, as well as preparing the text in a standard form to make it easier to process at further stages. The proofreader then corrects the text and the editor looks through it again and makes the final changes. Finally, the typesetter prepares the text for printing, and the editor checks the entire work one last time.
The processed text is in a different format at each stage of this process. Our publishing house prefers open formats for documents, so our authors deliver the documents in text or HTML formats and the graphics in PNG or EPS formats. After editing the document, the editor sends a copy to the author—that copy is in HTML. Our proofreaders work on Microsoft Windows systems and use Microsoft Word, so they need the documents to be in the .doc file format. Our typesetters work on Macintosh systems and use QuarkXPress. They need two kind of documents: Microsoft Word files for printing and checking the required formats for the article and Macintosh text files for opening the files in Quark and processing them.
When our quarterly started in autumn 2000, I was using StarOffice. Since then, I switched to OpenOffice.org. The methods to work with authors' text files are similar for StarOffice and OpenOffice.org. I import the document in text or HTML format using StarWriter (previously) or OpenOffice.org Writer (at present), and—after processing it—I export it to HTML, Microsoft Word or the corresponding SDW or SXW file formats.
If a source file is prepared well, there should be no problems when importing it. If a file is damaged, it must be repaired. This is not difficult to do if you take into account the open formats of the documents.
Once a file is imported, you need to change it to the proper format. The editors of Polish, German, French or other non-English language publications should change the codepage as well. A standard codepage for Polish documents, for example, is ISO-8859-2, and the standard codepage for all OpenOffice.org documents is UTF-8. To convert imported documents in a convenient way, you need a macro. The macros I've built for OpenOffice.org consist of several codepage converters, including converters from ISO-8859-2 to UTF-8 and vice versa.
Paragraphs in text files written in some text editors may be broken into a number of lines. To consolidate them, you need to use the KillparZ macro, which is an improved version of the killpars macro by Andrew Brown (Figure 1). KillparZ is a component of the ooo-macro bundle.
Assuming the author of the document declared the appropriate charset, there shouldn't be a problem with the codepage when you import an HTML file. But another problem may arise—the shortcuts associated with your macros stop working in HTML documents. To make macros work, you need to create an empty OpenOffice.org Writer document, open the HTML file, copy it, close the HTML file and, finally, paste the content into the Writer document.
Our magazine is published in Polish, so I need to use more sophisticated methods when exporting files. Specifically, I need to use fonts with Polish diacritics. My tests of StarWriter and OpenOffice.org Writer have shown that if you want to avoid problems related to codepages in non-English language documents, you should use TrueType fonts instead of Type1 fonts. Moreover, you obtain the best effects of exporting documents to the Microsoft Word format if you use the same fonts as are used in Microsoft Windows. The Microsoft fonts, bundled in Microsoft FontPack, including Times New Roman, Arial and Courier New, are sufficient in most cases.
The authors of StarOffice and OpenOffice.org had to use some reverse engineering to discover how the Microsoft Word format is constructed. As a result, the export filter from Writer to Word works well but not perfectly. Therefore, if you want to exchange standard document types with other users, prepare one typical document using all the necessary formatting, including headers, italics and boldface. Then make the sample available to coworkers and ask them if everything works well.
The articles we publish are a simple kind of document. Our editorial office uses the three above-mentioned fonts, as well as italic and bold, two levels of headers and straight tables. We do not include the graphics in our documents; we simply list the names of the files in PNG or EPS format. Such documents can be exported from SDW or SXW formats to Microsoft Word without any problems.
Are the Perl scripts available?
Interesting reading - I was particularly interested in the way that 'clean' HTML can be obtained from the raw HTML output of Ooo writer. Are the Perl scripts available?
It looks like these perl scri
It looks like these perl scripts manipulate tags using regular expressions. There are too many edge cases for this to be a good idea. Much better would be to properly parse the HTML, tidy it and walk the DOM tree to remove unwanted elements. The HTML section at CPAN looks like a good place to start doing that. Mind you, there are also interfaces to manipulate OOo documents directly. Good luck, happy hacking!
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Veggie burgers don't have to be boring!
Five Buffalo tasters blindly munch their way through 5 veggie burgers available locally.
Veggie burgers have a bad rap in some circles, ask any vegetarian what they get at most BBQs and it's probably some form of mock-burger. And why not? They are all about 100 calories, fiber-rich and low fat but unfortunately a couple bad run-ins with those soy-based hockey pucks have turned many off from the typical veggie burger.
Here in Buffalo we rounded up 5 taste testers: 2 vegetarians and 3 carnivores and had them blindly try a variety of plant-based burgers from soy "burger-analogs" to true veggie burgers where corn and grains could plainly be seen.
All the products can be bought at the local grocery stores and co-ops. Each was pan fried in a non-stick skillet with a little olive oil spray. The panel rated our samples based on taste, appearance, texture/mouthfeel, and aroma for a total possible rating of 20 points:
17 points: Morningstar Garden Veggie Burger: Rated high for it's real vegetable content, and chewy but not oily texture. Chestnuts, peppers, onions and bulgur make this low-cal burger stand out. Good for the seasoned veggie burger eater.
16 points: Boca All America Flame Grilled: Actual charbroiled flavor good for the person who loves the "beef". Texture was reminiscent of real burgers and it was juicy, not dry at all. Our omni-tasters loved that there wasn't a ton of grease and fat to deal with!
14 points: Amy's Chicago Veggie Burger: Good texture but never cooked up crispy so it fell apart a bit. Raters gauged it was somewhere between an all-veggie veggie burger and a meat analog burger.
13 points: Gardenburger Original: The lack of distinct flavor, appearance (a dull brown/grey) and undesirable chewiness ranked this burger low on the list.
9 points: Dr Praeger's California Veggie Burger: Our rater's least favorite. Left oil behind, poor mouthfeel and general lack of flavor.
Dressing any of these up with a toasted whole grain roll, some crumbled bleu cheese, onion, tomato and romaine would drastically improve even the lowest rated burgers. Experimenting with toppings such as black bean salad, mango strips or slices of avocado will surely dress up your summer BBQ as your not-burger becomes the envy of everyone!

WGAN , get rid of ABC News ! and get Fox
Whereas: Maine's WGAN (am 560) is a great radio station and carries the lovely radio shows of Rush Limbaugh, Howie Carr and other conservatives, we would like to petition WGAN to 'lose' ABC News which we find offensive, odious, biased, slanted, incompetent, misleading and, basically, not news at all but a party organ of the liberal left. God bless America again!

Banksy Suspected Over Spies Mural Near GCHQ
Residents of a street in Gloucestershire believe they may have had a visit from Banksy after a mural appeared on the side of a house.
The artwork in Cheltenham surrounds a BT telephone box and shows three men dressed as 1950s spies in trademark trenchcoats and trilby hats.
They are depicted carrying listening devices which they are pointing at the telephone box.
Residents said they saw a group of men packing away a large white tarpaulin at around 7.30am on Sunday, before driving off in a maintenance van.
The location of the mural appears to be deliberate - Cheltenham is the home to the headquarters of the Government's intelligence agency, GCHQ.
News of the new addition to the street, three miles away from GCHQ, has attracted a number of visitors, many of whom believe the graffiti bears the hallmarks of the elusive street artist.
Karen Smith, 48, said the figures appeared on the side of the house where she lives on Sunday morning.
"It's pretty good. It livens the street up a bit," the mother-of-five told the Gloucestershire Echo. "There have been a lot of people about today looking at it.
"My daughter, Sophie thinks it's Banksy, but I've been speaking to different people outside and some agree, some don't."
Banksy uses stencils and graffiti to make comments about society and this new one fits the pattern of his other works which have appeared all over the world since the 1990s.
He has yet to officially confirm the piece on his website but fans say it has the "narrative, style and execution" of his work.
The artwork follows the spying revelations by the National Security Agency's whistleblower Edward Snowden which have put US and UK intelligence agencies under the spotlight.
A spokesman for GCHQ said: "This is the first time we have ever been asked to comment on art.
"Although we are not qualified critics, we are as intrigued as the rest of the residents of Cheltenham about the appearance of the mysterious artwork.
"For those who are interested, our website gives a glimpse of what modern day intelligence operatives are really like, although some may be disappointed by the lack of trench coats and dark glasses."

Mr. Boomba
Mr. Boomba tries to impress the girl of his dreams, but always seems to find a way to humiliate himself!
Episode 2 is out now, continue down the rabbit hole.
Update: Thank you Tom for the frontpage!
And thank you everyone for your continued support.
Sorry if it's taking me a long time to get to your questions and messages, but I'm trying, just a bit overwhelmed.
You've arrived in Wonderland, that's good. Alice is dead, that's bad. You don't know who you are, that's the worst.
Do you have what it takes to get out of Wonderland, and more importantly, figure out who you are?
Just a note, this game is unappologetically hard with some of the puzzles. It's a puzzle game, it's not meant to be easy. However, SHOULD you need help, there is a friendly walkthrough button right in the game.
I hope you guys enjoy this, it was a blast to make. Stay tuned for Episode 2!

But then we think of God as mind: the controller, the creator, the sustainer. We have some vague idea of God as a supreme mind somewhere above, in the sky, who controls everything. But then he becomes the mind. He may be a great engineer or, as Plato says, a great mathematician, but the conception is that he is the mind. He is neither mind nor matter. He is beyond both.
This sutra says to remember this transcendence. He is neither the outer nor the inner. He is neither the body nor the mind. He is neither any thing nor any thought. Before you enter the ultimate temple from where no coming back is possible, remember this: Hold fast to that which has neither substance nor existence.
The fourteenth sutra:
Listen only to the voice which is soundless.
Listen only to the voice which is soundless. All sounds are created. All the sounds that we know are created in some way or the other. The wind blows and a sound is created. You clap your palms and a sound is created. I speak and a sound is created. But all these are created sounds. They will die because that which is born is bound to die, that which is created will be destroyed.
Is there any sound that is uncreated? If there is any uncreated sound, truth can be expressed only through that - because that which can die cannot express the truth. That's why it is said again and again that truth can be expressed only in silence; it cannot be said through words.
Words may lead you toward silence, but they cannot speak the truth. Words will die, and that which is immortal cannot be said through mortal words. How can it be? It is impossible. How can that which is eternal be put into the temporal? How can that which is timeless be brought into time? How can that which is beyond space be placed somewhere in a temple, in a space? Truth can be revealed only through something that is eternal.
Through meditation, many seekers have come to know a soundless sound within, a silent sound. The words soundless sound are contradictory. It is soundless because you cannot hear it with your ears. It is soundless because sound is always created through conflict, and there is no conflict. Sound is always created through duality, two things in conflict, but there are not two things in the heart. It is soundless because it cannot be heard, it can only be experienced.

It's also nice that Quark finally was able to do something with his ambassadorship.
That's exactly the reason I came up with this episode. I wanted a Quark story, and I thought, "So he's been the Ambassador for a year now... what does he actually do? We haven't seen him doing anything Ambassadorial." He offered "diplomatic services" to someone one time, but without specifying what those services are. So I wanted an episode about that, and what I came up with was "give someone asylum for some reason." Everything else flowed from that.
And I just love the gag about Morn still not saying anything on screen because he gets stage fright. That had been built in from the start. Ro's lame joke about "pointers" just came to me as I was writing it.

I remember those days...Submitted by Savvy One (not verified) on Wed, 09/24/2008 - 3:03pm.
Yes, I'm local, 37 years young, and I too was bussed. I was bussed to Peabody and Snipes School. I can recall the experience as not being positive as well. Redistricting is not the answer to the problem. Come on now, can't the school board think "outside of the box" for a solution to this problem? I'm sure they can go on some sort of "retreat" to a remote beach someplace and figure SOMETHING out! LOL...

When my boy was seven years old his mom and I decided he would benefit from joining the local baseball little league. I don't know what HER excuse for this abysmal decision was, but having been in the parenting role for only a year at the time I can lay claim to noober ignorance.
I only got to go to a few practices and one game before Ella Rose banned me from attendance.
The coach was an oversized, underbrained neandertal who thought the best way to motivate small children was to yell at them, ridicule them, harrass them. I'm sure he was living out some demonic fantasy of being an MLB coach. I'm sure he was a dismal failure in his relationships with adults. I'm sure he was a lousy partner in bed.
I am fairly confident that under that pot bellied beer gut and gross, gruff exterior he wore pink and yellow flowered underpants.
At the single game I attended I was standing up at the fence. My fingers were clenched in the mesh, sweat was pouring out every pore of my being, and my tongue was bleeding slightly from my teeth chomping on it to avoid embarrassing my boy and forever alienating Ella Rose by the public humiliation that would have ensued had I given voice to my vehement ire at the thick-headed, single digit IQ-ridden, morally depraved imbecile masquarading as my boy's coach.
Did I mention I really, really did not like this man?
I was teaching college at the time and one of my students also had a little boy on the league. She approached me, politely ignored my physical anguish, and instead asked if I had a boy playing today. I smiled and pointed to first base, where he was standing after being walked.
Suddenly the air was split in two! I heard the crack of a bat, the ball went soaring high, higter, higher still over the second baseman's head. The coach screamed "RUN, KID!" and my boy sprinted as fast as he....
Actually, no. My boy did not sprint. What he did was he skipped. High strides. Long strides. Arms in the wind, a smile on his face. He skipped to the second base, and he skipped to the third base, and he skipped home, and when he got there he bounced even higher in the air and landed with both feet smack in the middle of the mat.
I was never so proud in my life!
OMG This is why we love and need you here at OS. I want to go skip now and no Neanderthal better tell me not to!!!
SKIP this? Yeah right, you may have well as put a red flag in front of a bull. I agree, some of these coaches are trying to live their failed baseball hero dreams and treat kids terrible. I played baseball all my life and I could tell you stories about some coaches that would un-curl you hair~:-)
HAHAHAHAHAHA, zanelle - HEY! Have you gotten the bunny slippers that I sent you yet? I'm working on a skipping animation for the AO version, which is what caused me to recollect this little story.
scanner - I can only imagine!! I've never understood that brand of "motivation." There are many things I do not understand....
BS - Indeed! Before I posted this I asked my boy to review it - I do this any time I take his name in vain. He giggled. He giggles alot. But I'm pretty sure he doesn't skip anymore. At least I haven't SEEN him. Hmmm - I must ask him about this!

Ha! Brilliant. There's a boy with the right attitude towards life. The coach was probably feeling last night's greasy dinner in his throat watching someone have that much fun playing ball.
Awesome! Truly awesome!! We should all be skipping a lot more than we do. My son did something similar during a game -- he sat down in the outfield and began picking flowers. I called him Ferdinand.

Celebrity appearances, artist meet-and-greets, a film festival, a Cosplay costume contest, the first official after party and Cosplay Harbor Cruise are among many activities lined up for this year's Boston Comic Con. Boston Comic Con will bring its first three-day convention to the Seaport World Trade Center Friday August 8 through Sunday August 10, 2014. In the seven years since its founding, Boston Comic Con has grown from a one-day show that attracted an estimated 900 comic book enthusiasts to last year's record turnout of more than 23,000, which organizers expect to top this year.
"The community in Greater Boston that loves comic books and related television and film is tremendous and growing," said Nick Kanieff, a founder of Boston Comic Con. "We are home to some of the industry's most talented artists and devoted fans, all of which will join us in great numbers this August. Boston Comic Con has just enough of a celebrity touch to bring in ardent fans while still honoring the artists and writers who are the backbone of the industry."

Among the 200+ comic book creators taking part in the convention are well known artists such as artist Greg Capullo and writer Scott Snyder, who together produced legendary Batman story arcs as The Court of Owls, Death of the Family and Zero Year for DC Comics. Indie sensation Jeff Smith, creator of the fantasy epic Bone, makes rare appearance at this year's convention. Also featured is artist Adam Kubert, best known for his work with Marvel Comics on Wolverine, Incredible Hulk, Ultimate Fantastic Four, and X-Men. He is both a graduate of and an instructor at the famed Kubert School, founded by his father, legendary artist Joe Kubert. Other creators include Skottie Young, whose current project, Rocket Raccoon ties in with Marvel's summer blockbuster Guardians of the Galaxy, fan-favorite Gail Simone, writer of Batgirl, Birds of Prey, and Wonder Woman, and Mark Waid who is the most prolific writer of popular characters such as Superman, Spider-Man, and Daredevil.

"Boston Comic Con is at the forefront of supporting local artists, especially women creators. It is truly an organic, home-grown event that has gained popularity over the past few years," said Kanieff, a Framingham resident who is also an avid collector. "We welcome everyone, from families with young children, to college students, to older comic book fans. There is something for everyone at Boston Comic Con."

Press Release:
The world-famous Hollywood Improv is proud to invite you to join Emmy and Annie award winner Rob Paulsen as he talks about his experiences in voice acting!
Sean Astin is an American film actor, director, voice artist, and producer best known for his film roles as Samwise Gamgee in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Mikey Walsh in The Goonies, and the title character of Rudy. In television, he appeared as Lynn McGill in the fifth season of 24[1] and currently voices Raphael in the 2012 Nickelodeon Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles TV series and Oso in the Disney Junior show Special Agent Oso.

He is most well known for his voice work as Nathan Drake from the Uncharted series; Desmond Miles from the Assassin's Creed video game series; The Penguin in Batman: Arkham City and Batman: Arkham Origins; Deadpool in Hulk Vs, Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds/Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Deadpool, Marvel Heroes, and Lego Marvel Super Heroes; Cyrille Le Paradox and El Jefe from Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time; Dr Edward Richtofen in the Zombies mode in the Call of Duty games World at War, Black Ops and Black Ops II; Corrupt Cores and Defective Turrets in Portal 2; Superboy and Superman in Young Justice; Cpt.

About Rob Paulsen:
Born in Detroit, Rob Paulsen spent his childhood in Livonia and Rochester, attending Junior and Senior high school in Grand Blanc, Michigan. Rob loved cartoons like most kids but aspired to be a professional hockey player. "Fortunately, thanks to some big, strong, kid from Winnipeg who drilled me so hard my ears are still ringing, I learned around age 18 I had neither the talent nor the temperament to make a living playing hockey. So, I turned to my other passions: singing and acting."
The goal of bringing absolute believability to a fictional character, live-action or animated, is what every actor strives for. Those who are committed to their career and who combine experience, passion and skill are likely to succeed.
Those gifted with exceptional talent who focus on maximizing their potential by finding their own niche, quickly break away from the pack. After years of honing their craft and consistently delivering memorable performances in which the character impacts an indelible image on the viewer, the public and the industry take notice, singling out the best.
"I'm getting paid to do what I got in trouble for in the 7th grade," jests Rob, who won a Daytime Emmy in 1999 as "Outstanding Performer in an Animated Program" for Pinky and The Brain (Warner Bros.) Though nominated twice previously, the victory was especially sweet due to some formidable competition – fellow nominees Louie Anderson, Ernest Borgnine, Dennis Franz and Jeffery Tambor. In addition to his Emmy, Rob won back-to-back Annie Awards in 1997 and 1998. "I absolutely love what I do and thank my lucky stars for twenty-five years of full-time employment in this business," he says.
"It's a treat to portray a complex character," Rob explains about Pinky, a goof-ball mouse with funny teeth, a head filled with clouds and an inane imagination that is punctuated with a staccato laugh. "Besides … where else could I find a job where emotional outbursts and odd exclamations like 'Egad!,' 'Narf!,' 'Poit!,' 'Splonk!,' and 'Zort!' are allowed and in fact, encouraged?" With over 2,000 half-hours of animation to his credit, Rob's versatility shines in his starring roles as the voices of Yakko, Pinky and Dr. Scratch 'n' Sniff in the Peabody and two-time Emmy award-winning series "Animaniacs."
Some of Rob's other well-known animated characters include Raphael of the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," Arthur in "The Tick," the title role in "The Mask" (for a WHOLE lot less dough than Mr. Carrey, thank you), the title role in "Mighty Max," Carl Wheezer in "Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius," Jack Fenton in "Danny Phantom," Bobble in the "Tinkerbell" series of DVDs and hopefully more to come.
Paulsen's extensive credits include on-camera roles in numerous motion pictures including Body Double, Stewardess School, Eyes of Fire, The Perfect Match, and Warlocked. His television acting credits include guest-starring roles on MacGyver and St. Elsewhere. Additionally, he is one of the most sought-after voice actors in the commercial arena, performing in over 1000 commercial spots.
As passionate about "paying it forward" as he is about his lucrative career, Rob supports various charitable organizations, particularly those benefiting children and military veterans. Rob's volunteer work with GOALmodels has been particularly rewarding. GOALmodels, a high school program in Reseda, California, is designed to inspire 9th graders to set goals and overcome obstacles in life. Blending his life experiences with passion for his work, his presentations are informative, entertaining and inspiring. In his leisure time, Rob enjoys golf, riding his motorcycle and occasionally lacing up his skates for another chance to relive his past glory on the rink. He spends the majority of his free time with his wife, Parrish, and their two Yorkshire terriers, Pooshie and Tala.

NYC – The Streets Exhibition

Ralph Bakshi will return to Animazing Gallery in SoHo for a reception where his altogether new series of fine art paintings will be debuted in an exhibition entitled The Streets. This bold series of mixed-media construction/paintings was inspired by the gritty and colorful neighborhoods of Bakshi's youth in lower Manhattan and Brooklyn.
MoCCA, New York's Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art, and Bill Plympton will present a lifetime achievement award to Mr. Bakshi at the opening reception on Friday, March 19th, from 6-9PM (by invitation). A public meet and greet reception takes place on Saturday March 20th, 2-5PM. Admission is free and open to the public. Exhibition runs through May 15th. Animazing Gallery is located at 54 Greene Street at Broome in SoHo. Hours of operation are Mon-Sat 10AM-7PM and Sun 11AM-6PM. For more information log onto www.animazing.com or call 212-226-7374.
Throughout an artistic career spanning more than half a century, Ralph Bakshi's secret passion has always been fine art. Although he has become a renowned film director, Bakshi has remained a sedulously dedicated self-taught painter, and this body of work is as sophisticated as his films are outrageous. The Artist has created multi-media pieces that are emotionally layered works, and clearly a departure from his past figurative works. Bakshi builds up his surfaces with elements of wood, nails, and other found objects. The artist deconstructs the sculptural elements at some point during the process, and then uses the ravaged sculpture as a canvas, continuing to paint and repaint the accumulating textures, going deeper and deeper into what he thinks he sees. In this ongoing process of building up and taking away, Ralph transforms his reality into sculptured abstraction. Inspired by every single memory of his life in Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn, the Artist produces work that is as gritty, colorful, and dynamic as New York. Bakshi's paintings are derived from a lifetime of loving the artistic peeling of the paint on old Brownsville walls; the play of sunlight on their surfaces that changed them every few minutes. These paintings are the closest thing to realism that Ralph can imagine, although they appear to be abstract.
Ralph Bakshi is a legend in the world animation. His controversial and cutting edge films have secured a place in the historical archives of many museums, including the Whitney and MoMA, because they raised a generation's social consciousness with the raw, creative and artistic genius that was larger than life on the big screen. Bakshi was raised in the Brownsville area of Brooklyn, and displayed artistic talent before he was old enough to go to school. Graduating high school with an unprecedented "Award in Cartooning," at eighteen years old Bakshi was given an entry level position at the Terrytoons animation studio. He promoted himself quickly to animator by commandeering an empty desk, and by the time he was 28, Bakshi was Creative Director of the studio. He created shows like Mighty Mouse, Heckle & Jeckle, Deputy Dawg, and later Spider-Man for Paramount Studios. After this, Bakshi produced his first theatrical animated feature, a down-and-dirty X-rated adaptation of Robert Crumb's "underground" comic strip Fritz the Cat. Bakshi's next feature, Heavy Traffic was even more outrageous, but won acclaim from both film and art critics. Next was Coonskin, a savage attack on Hollywood racial stereotypes. In 1977, Bakshi released Wizards, then Lord of the Rings. In 1980 he animated jazz music with American Pop, and afterwards Hey, Good Lookin'; a nostalgic glance at 1950s street gangs. After Fire and Ice in 1983, Bakshi retreated to his studio, painting every day for nearly 10 years, before resurfacing in 1987 with the brilliant TV series of Mighty Mouse, directed by Bakshi's protégé, John Kricfalusi (of Ren & Stimpy fame). In 1992, Bakshi returned to the Big Screen with Cool World, a combination of animation and live action starring Brad Pitt and the voice of Kim Basinger, among others.

Until 2008 the base trail only extended around the south side of the mountain. Over the summer of 2008 the southern base trail was moved up the slope slightly to get it out of the muddy flats along side the Little Maumelle River and the Northern segemnt was created , merging with the Ouchita Trail to make a full 3.5 mile loop around the mountain.

WILL this be the end of months of protests outside the branches of Hong Kong's big banks by holders of so-called Lehman mini-bonds? A settlement announced on March 28th provides most of the retail investors in these structured products with a 70-93% recovery rate on their initial investment; an additional payment pushes the recovery range up to 85-96.5%.
In truth the products were neither "mini" nor all that much to do with Lehman. In Hong Kong alone, thousands of residents held the securities. Lehman structured many of the instruments and provided a sophisticated guarantee through a swap, which is why they were dragged into the firm's bankruptcy, but the underlying assets were mostly collateralised-debt obligations issued by others.
On the surface the settlement sounds pretty good. Back in 2009 Hong Kong's regulators and 16 banks that marketed the products offered the bondholders 60% of their investment back, and the possibility of a higher repayment based on further recovery, in exchange for title to the bonds. Almost 30,000 customers, with a total of HK$5.5 billion in assets, agreed. That allowed the banks to go after the Lehman estate for access to the assets, which in turn led to this week's settlement.
The final payout is nowhere near as stingy as had once been feared. Locally the deal is seen as a consequence of shaming the financial institutions which sold the products into coughing up. When the "mini-bonds" stopped paying out, local regulators were deluged with complaints. Just how aggrieved investors had a right to feel is unclear: the products came with thick, and doubtless unread, prospectuses detailing the risks involved. But picket lines, clanging drums and acerbic signs focused the attention of bankers and regulators on the plight of people whose financial expertise amounted to spotting products with higher interest rates than low-yielding bank deposits.
As litigation surrounding the Lehman bankruptcy advanced, the odds against a good outcome for the little guy stacked up. A British court ruling in a related case implied the assets were the property of the bondholders; an American court ruled they were part of the Lehman estate. This kind of mess is for Goliaths, not Davids.
Yet investors may even now have cause for complaint. Just how much value was surrendered to extract the assets from the wreckage of Lehman is not clear, but the amounts are likely to have been large. The size of the payouts suggest that the assets underlying the securities are far from worthless, even if the tumultuous markets and Lehman's bankruptcy obscured their value at the time. Working out what collateral lies behind the instruments is not easy but they include bonds issued by solid corporate names which did not default; upon maturity, the proceeds from some of these bonds were reinvested in Treasuries. If there was no default, investors might ask why they are not being fully reimbursed.
The mini-bond saga raises wider questions, too. For retail investors in particular, the risks of having securities held by people in one jurisdiction sold by companies operating in another jurisdiction that may have assets in yet another and come under multiple regulators look indefensibly complex to gauge. Yet these sort of structures continue to thrive even now.
The mini-bond recovery rates suggest, too, that other Lehman-linked securities which froze up in the panic of 2008 could yield big returns for investors that were brave enough to pick them up. The crisis was both the revelation of a broken financial system and a panic where prices evaporated because confusion reigned.

Hunter's screening scheduled
The annual hunter's health screening which is offered free-of-charge to anyone who shows up with his or her 2009 hunting license will take place this year on Thursday, Oct. 22 from 5-7 p.m.
The screening is designed to give hunters a review of their overall health before they exert themselves in the woods in search of deer.
The health clinic will assess blood pressure, glucose, cholesterol and oxygen levels. Hospital staff will also check vision, height and weight, providing an overall health picture. Participants will also have an EKG reading taken, which measures heart health. A team of nurses and lab staff, led by Dr. Moisan, will conduct the health screening. They will then be able to discuss concerns and offer advice.
The hospital lobby will be filled with information related to hunting. There will be a representative from the Sheriff's Department offering free gun locks and the state Department of Conservation will be on-hand to answer questions. There will be safety information, recipes, prize drawings and snacks.
Salerno brothers Tony and Pat will also be on hand to answer questions and offer hunting tips. The Salerno family has produced a number of hunting videos and has been featured in national publications.

Hearst granddaughter dies at 85BY MATT FOUNTAINPhoebe Hearst Cooke, a former board director for the Hearst Corporation and granddaughter of the Central Coast media mogul William Randolph Hearst, died the evening of Nov. 18 at Twin Cities Community Hospital in Templeton after falling ill with pneumonia, according to Hearst Corp. She was 85. Hearst Cooke was born in San Francisco in July 13, 1927, to George R. Hearst, Sr., and Blanche Wilbur. Hearst Cooke—along with twin brother George R. Hearst, Jr.—were the two eldest grandchildren of the patriarch Hearst, publisher of the San Francisco Examiner. Hearst Cooke was deeply involved in both Hearst Corp. and the charitable foundations established by her grandfather's will. She served on the board of directors until 1998. She is preceded in death by her late husband, Amory "Jack" Cooke, also a Hearst Corp. board member. Cooke died in 2008, following 45 years of marriage. According to a Hearst Corp. press release, immediate memorial services will be private, but plans for a public service are pending. |

The Roger Vivier brand ambassador, recently voted the quintessential Parisienne by readers of Le Figaro, is so used to doling out tips she has decided to gather them in a book. "I spend my life handing out addresses to friends and journalists," she said. Though the guide is not yet written, French publisher Flammarion is already fielding enquiries from Japan, China and South America for the foreign rights, she noted. The multitasking former Chanel muse is also working on the interior design of an as-yet-unnamed 50-room hotel located not far from the Vivier flagship on Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré. Due to open in roughly a year, the hotel will house a restaurant and spa. And de la Fressange has designed a carpet for French furniture company Artelano. With all that, she will barely have time to catch her breath before dashing off to Hong Kong for the opening of a Vivier store in the spring. — Miles Socha

Cathedral built on the site where St Mungo was thought to have been buried
Head church of the diocese of Glasgow | The shrine of St Kentigern | A beacon of prayer | Reform and re-use
Head church of the diocese of Glasgow
Glasgow Cathedral stands majestically in the heart of Scotland's largest city. It is the only medieval cathedral on the Scottish mainland to have survived the Protestant Reformation of 1560 virtually intact. There used to be a chanonry around it – a precinct where the bishops (and later archbishops) and clergy had their residences. To its south, a thriving burgh sprang up, under episcopal patronage. That burgh has since expanded into the great metropolis we now see.The shrine of St Kentigern
The inspiring edifice dates mostly from the 13th century. However, it was dedicated to St Kentigern – or Mungo, as he is more affectionately known. Kentigern was the first bishop within the ancient British kingdom of Strathclyde, whose political capital was at Dumbarton Rock. His diocese was vast, reaching from Loch Lomond in the north to Cumbria in the south. He is believed to have been buried on the cathedral site in 612.A beacon of prayer
Quite simply, Glasgow Cathedral is the finest building surviving in Scotland from the 13th century. Indeed, it is widely regarded as the high point of cathedral building in Europe.Reform and re-use
The Protestant Reformation of 1560 did away with the need for bishops answerable to the Pope. Although bishops did continue in the established church in Scotland until their final abolition in 1689, their role was greatly reduced. Their cathedral was 'cleansed' of its Catholic trappings and put to use as a parish kirk – in fact, three parish kirks. The choir housed the Inner High Kirk, the west end of the nave the Outer High Kirk, and the crypt the Barony Kirk.
