Emmy-winning TV host and "Moon River" crooner Andy Williams has died at age 84.
Williams' publicist, Paul Shefrin, said Wednesday that the silky-voiced singer died Tuesday night at his home in Branson, Mo., following a year-long battle with bladder cancer.
Williams said in November 2011 that he was diagnosed with bladder cancer but planned to continue performing at the namesake theater he built in Branson in 1992.
The clean-cut Iowa native began singing with his brothers as a child, and his easy style and mellow voice led President Ronald Reagan to call Williams "a national treasure." Though his version of "Moon River" made him world famous, it was among his many hits, including "Butterfly" and "Can't Get Used to Losing You."

- "My brother has his sword, and I have my mind..."
- ―Tyrion Lannister
Tyrion Lannister is a major character in the first, second and third seasons. He is played by starring cast member Peter Dinklage and debuts in the series premiere. Tyrion Lannister is the youngest son of Lord Tywin Lannister, and uses his wit and intellect to overcome the prejudice he faces as a dwarf. He is falsely accused of the attempted assassination of Bran Stark and taken captive. His imprisonment by Catelyn Stark, even though he is eventually released after a trial by combat, causes the House Lannister to attack the Riverlands and triggers a conflict, which is then escalated into full war by the death of Robert Baratheon and arrest and execution of Eddard Stark. Tyrion rejoins the army of Tywin Lannister, and is shortly after sent by his father as acting Hand of the King to his newly crowned nephew Joffrey Baratheon, hoping he will rein him in. With him he takes a prostitute named Shae who he makes his mistress and comes to love. Under difficult conditions, Tyrion Lannister holds the city together, strengthens and organizes the city's defenses, and makes an alliance with House Martell. Tyrion is injured during the Battle of Blackwater and afterwards loses his position as Hand when Tywin Lannister arrives to claim it.
Tyrion Lannister is the youngest son of Joanna Lannister and Lord Tywin Lannister. Tywin is the head of House Lannister, the richest man in the Seven Kingdoms and Lord Paramount of the Westerlands. The Westerlands are one of the constituent regions of the Seven Kingdoms and House Lannister of Casterly Rock is one of the Great Houses of the realm He is the younger brother of Jaime and Cersei Lannister. His mother Joanna Lannister died giving birth to him. His father and sister blame him for the death.[1]
He is a dwarf, causing him problems and persecution. His size has led him to being referred to derisively by various names, such as "the Imp" and "The Halfman". This is mitigated by his intellect and his family's wealth and power. Had an infant with dwarfism like Tyrion been born a commoner, he'd have simply been left out in the woods to die. However, Tyrion was born into a powerful noble House, and was therefore spared. Even though his father doesn't think much of him, he has had the benefits of being raised with wealth and education, and is expected to lead his life as a credit to the Lannister name.[2] He is committed to the good of both his House and, since Cersei married King Robert Baratheon, his family's continued hold on the throne.[1]
When Tyrion was 16, he met a wheelwright's daughter named Tysha on the road, apparently the victim of an attempted rape. Whilst his brother Jaime ran off the attackers, Tyrion helped Tysha recover from the ordeal, and they became lovers. They found a drunken, wandering septon willing to marry them and briefly, they lived as husband and wife. That is, until Lord Tywin learned what had happened. Jaime confessed that he organized the incident to make his brother happy, and Tysha was actually a prostitute. As a lesson, Tywin gave Tysha to his guards, paying her a silver coin for each man and forcing Tyrion to watch. By the end, there were so many silver coins that they were running out of her hands onto the ground. Tyrion has reciprocated Tywin's hatred ever since.[3]
His two siblings have had positions of respect and responsibility since their teens. When Tyrion turned sixteen (the age of manhood), Tywin Lannister put Tyrion in charge of the drains and cisterns at Casterly Rock. Tyrion brags that the sewage never flowed smoother to the sea.[4]
Tyrion spends a lot of time at court in King's Landing to avoid his father. He gets on well with Jaime and his niece Myrcella and nephew Tommem, but has a colder relationship with Cersei and his sadistic nephew Joffrey.[5] He has a fondness for prostitutes and drink, but is also intelligent, cunning, and educated. He also is a kind man who would protect the innocent claiming that he loves broken things.
Season 1
Tyrion accompanies King Robert Baratheon's party to Winterfell, but after weeks on the road he leaves the party and rides ahead to seek the pleasures of the winter town's brothels, where he makes the acquaintance of Ros.[6] He gives the prostitute a Lannister lion necklace to thank her for their time together.[7] Jaime convinces him to join the family for dinner. Tyrion dawdles outside the feast hall, reluctant to make nice with the Starks and his own family, and as a result meets Jon Snow, Lord Eddard Stark's bastard son. He realises that Jon is something of a kindred spirit: "All dwarfs are bastards in their father's eyes."[6]
When Tyrion's nephew, Prince Joffrey Baratheon, refuses to pay his respects to Lord and Lady Stark after Bran's fall, Tyrion slaps him three times until he acquiesces. He then breakfasts with his family, where he reveals that he wants to go and visit the Wall - to see it and piss off of it, he says to the laughter of Tommen and Myrcella, before returning to King's Landing. He takes an interest in Bran's fall and how it happened, noting carefully his brother and sister's reactions to the news that Bran is likely to live.[2]
On the road to Castle Black, Tyrion tells Jon that he likes to read as it keeps his wits sharp, just as his brother's whetstone keeps his sword sharp. Reaching the Wall, even Tyrion is temporarily rendered speechless by the size and scale of the structure.[2] During his stay, Tyrion watches the new recruits train. He realizes that Jon Snow, due to his advantages of being trained by a castle master-at-arms at Winterfell, is acting superior to his fellow recruits, embarrassing them by beating them easily in training. After Tyrion points this out Jon begins helping the others train, earning their respect and friendship. Maester Aemon and Lord Commander Jeor Mormont ask him to use his influence at court to get more men and resources sent to the Night's Watch. Tyrion is sympathetic, but doesn't believe that there is anything more dangerous than wildlings beyond the Wall. However, Benjen Stark's account of life beyond the Wall gives him pause. Tyrion befriends Yoren, a recruiter for the Watch, and they agree to travel back to the capital together.[8]
Pausing at Winterfell on the return trip home, Tyrion gives Bran plans for a special saddle so that he can ride even in his crippled state. He taunts Theon Greyjoy about his family's defeat during their uprising before leaving. Stopping at the Crossroads Inn on the way home, he is surprised to meet Catelyn Stark, and even more so when she denounces him as an attempted murderer and has him arrested by her father's bannermen to face the King's justice. She was told by Petyr Baelish that the knife used in the assassination attempt on Bran was one Tyrion won from Petyr by betting on a jousting tournament.[9] Catelyn takes Tyrion, protesting his innocence, to the Eyrie. A sellsword from the inn, Bronn, accompanies them and notes Tyrion's wealth and a promise he will handsomely reward any man who aids him. Along the way they are attacked by some of the hill tribes and Tyrion kills his first man, bashing in the skull of an attacking tribesman with a shield. Tyrion warns Catelyn that her sister, Lysa, has become irrational with grief and will try to kill him. She is skeptical, but at the Eyrie Tyrion's warning proves accurate. Lysa hysterically accuses him not only of the attempted murder of Bran, but also of conspiring in that of her husband Jon Arryn, former Hand of the King who died suddenly which Lysa tells Catelyn was one of the Lannisters' doing. Tyrion is thrown into one of the Eyrie's "sky-cells", dungeons which simply open on their fourth side to the open air with a drop of many thousands of feet to the valley below.[7]
Tyrion bargains with his jailor, Mord, to get an audience with Lady Arryn. He "confesses" to being a whoremonger and dwarf, but truthfully insists that he is not guilty of the crime of murdering Jon Arryn or trying to murder Bran. He demands a trial by combat as is his right and his wish is granted when the sellsword Bronn agrees to stand as his champion. Bronn defeats and kills Lady Arryn's champion, Ser Vardis Egen. By the laws of Westeros this means that Tyrion has proven his innocence in the eyes of the gods, and he is released from the Eyrie to face the perilous journey back through the tribesman-infested hills. Bronn accompanies him.[10] Tyrion establishes some ground rules with Bronn, saying he will pay more money than anyone else who attempts to bribe him to betray Tyrion. They are then surrounded by men of the hill tribes, led by Shagga. Tyrion uses his quick wits and words to win the allegiance of the tribes, offering to equip them for battle and help them conquer the Vale of Arryn in return for their help. Shagga agrees, though he notes that if Tyrion tries to renege on his promise he will cut off his manhood and feed it to the goats.
Tywin Lannister's forces have been attacking the Riverlands ever since Catelyn Tully Stark arrested Tyrion. It's not that he cares so much about Tyrion, he explains to Jaime, but because even though Tyrion is the least of them he is still a Lannister, and if they allow one of their own to be taken forcefully, they risk losing the respect of the other Houses. The hillmen deliver Tyrion to his father's army, where he learns that Robb Stark is leading an army to war. Tyrion warns his father that Robb should not be underestimated. Tywin agrees to honor Tyrion's alliance with the hill tribes. When Shagga says they will only fight if Tyrion is with them on the field, Tywin agrees, to Tyrion's dismay.[11]
Tyrion is commanded by his father to lead the hill tribes into battle from the front. Feeling that his father means to kill him, Tyrion retires to his tent, where he finds that Bronn has found a prostitute for him, a girl named Shae. Tyrion attempts to learn more about Shae, but finds his questions deflected. Instead he tells her about his own past with Tysha, a wheelwright's daughter. They married and spent several happy weeks together until Tywin learned of the matter. Tywin had Jaime tell Tyrion the truth, that Tysha was a prostitute that Jaime had paid to make his brother happy for a while. Tywin then gave her a piece of silver for every one of his guards she had sex with whilst Tyrion was forced to watch. Since then Tyrion has never attempted to take a wife or lover, only whores he can pay and send on their way.[3]Tyrion leads the tribes into battle, but is knocked out by one of his own warriors' mis-swung hammers just as the engagement begins. Recovering, Tyrion learns from his father that Robb deceived them, delaying their army with a feinting force so the main Stark host can fall on and defeat Jaime's army in battle.[3] With Robb's forces now allied to those of the Riverlands and both Stannis and Renly Baratheon claiming the Iron Throne, the odds have swung against the Lannisters. Tywin risks being caught between three armies, so he retreats to Harrenhal. Tyrion makes shrewd observations about the ominous turn the current situation has taken now that Joffrey has killed Eddard Stark. Grudgingly impressed, Tywin orders Tyrion to report to King's Landing and act as the Hand of the King to try to keep Joffrey in line. Tywin forbids him to take "that whore" with him, but Tyrion defies him and asks Shae to come to King's Landing with him.[12]
Season 2
Tyrion arrives in King's Landing, accompanied by Bronn and members of the hill tribes. He assumes the role of acting Hand of the King to Joffrey Baratheon, who isn't happy to see him, unlike Myrcella and Tommen. After taking his seat at the small council, he clashes with his sister, Queen Regent Cersei Lannister, over her failure to stop the execution of his predecessor as hand, Eddard Stark. He also criticizes her for allowing Arya Stark to escape, as the girl and her father could have been useful to bargain for the return of Jaime, and now they only have one Stark hostage instead of three. He installs Shae in the Tower of the Hand, in defiance of his father's orders.[13]
Tyrion warns Varys not to underestimate him after the Spider discovers Shae's presence and lets Tyrion know that he is aware of her. During a small council session, Tyrion finds himself the only sympathetic ear to a request by the Night's Watch for aid from the throne. He also criticizes Cersei's lack of talent for diplomacy when she rejects peace terms from Robb Stark brought by their cousin Ser Alton Lannister. Tyrion invites Lord Janos Slynt for dinner and gets him to confess his part in the recent massacre of King Robert's bastards as well as his part in the betrayal of Eddard. After openly noting Slynt's lack of honor, Tyrion has Lord Janos exiled to the Wall as punishment, and installs Bronn as commander of the City Watch in his place.[14]
Tyrion arranges for Shae to serve as a handmaiden to Sansa Stark when she demands more freedom. He tests the loyalty of the remaining small council members by feeding them varying plans to form marriage alliances involving Princess Myrcella Baratheon. He is confronted by Cersei about sending Myrcella to Dorne in a betrothal to the youngest son of House Martell. Tyrion has Pycelle thrown into the black cells for revealing the information given only to him. Varys congratulates him for the ploy to lure out the Queen's informant. Tyrion is also confronted by an angry Petyr Baelish for having been unwittingly involved in the ruse; nevertheless, Tyrion recruits Littlefinger in a plan to convince Catelyn Stark to release Jaime, offering him Harrenhal and the title of Lord Paramount of the Riverlands.[15]
Tyrion is shocked and furious to find Joffrey orchestrating the public beating of Sansa for her brother Robb Stark's victory in the Battle of Oxcross. He orders a halt to the proceedings, and warns Joffrey to consider his actions more carefully, lest he wants to suffer the same fate as the Mad King. He then escorts Sansa out of the throne room. Bronn suggests that Joffrey would benefit from sexual release. Tyrion arranges for two whores for his nephew but Joffrey forces one to beat the other as a message to Tyrion.[16]
Lancel Lannister visits Tyrion to demand the release of Pycelle on Cersei's behalf. Tyrion notes the lateness of the hour and traps Lancel into admitting his sexual relationship with Cersei. Tyrion uses the information to blackmail Lancel into acting as his informant.[16] Tyrion reports news of King Renly Baratheon's death to Cersei. She is pleased but Tyrion predicts Stannis Baratheon's imminent attack having assumed control of Renly's men. He tries to discuss plans for their defense but she insists on keeping them secret. He learns that she is reliant of the Alchemists' Guild from Lancel. He visits Wisdom Hallyne and learns that the guild have stockpiled thousands of jars of Wildfire to use as catapult ammunition. Bronn sees this strategy as potentially disastrous because of the volatile nature of wildfire. Tyrion orders Hallyne to answer to him instead of Cersei. He passes a street protest that blames him for the ills of the city, as the people believe him to be manipulating Joffrey.[17]
Tyrion and the court assemble at the shore of the Blackwater Bay for the departure of Princess Myrcella. Cersei remains angry about Tyrion's arrangements for her daughter. She threatens to one day deprive him of someone he loves. As they return to the Red Keep through the city they are confronted by angry crowds of starving Smallfolk. Joffrey is hit by thrown excrement and triggers a riot by demanding that his guards kill everyone in the crowd. Tyrion is horrified when the High Septon is torn apart by the famished crowd. He marshals his guards to lead him to safety.[18]
Once he is safely separated from the riot Tyrion confronts Joffrey for triggering the riot and the war that preceded it, calling him a vicious idiot. He slaps Joffrey when his nephew refuses to listen to the criticism. Tyrion orders Meryn Trant to retrieve the missing Sansa but Meryn will not follow his orders. He is relieved when Sandor Clegane brings her to safety.[18]
Cersei confesses that she feels that Joffrey's viciousness might be the price she pays for her sin of incest with Jaime. Tyrion does not know how to comfort his sister in this rare moment of vulnerability but reminds her that both Myrcella and Tommen are kind and gentle. Word that Stannis' fleet is days away reinforces the need to control Joffrey.[19] Tyrion turns to books for insight into siege defense tactics but Bronn warns that the grim realities of a siege cannot be understood from reading. Tyrion affirms the loyalty of Varys and is enigmatic about his plans for the battle but believes Stannis will attack at the Mud Gate.[4]
Joffrey is keen to fight in defense of the city. Cersei is furious and suspects Tyrion of trying to kill her son. She mistakenly identifies Ros as his lover because of the Lannister pendant Tyrion gave her and seizes the opportunity to deliver on the threat she made when Myrcella left. Cersei has the prostitute kidnapped as insurance against Tyrion placing Joffrey in harm's way. She reveals her ploy over dinner. Tyrion is relieved that Shae is unhurt, vows to free Ros and when the prostitute is taken away, he promises Cersei that he will exact revenge on her. He rushes back to his lover's side and confesses the depth of his feeling for her while warning that they must be doubly careful.[4]
Tyrion leads the defense of the city during the Battle of the Blackwater. He commands the defenders at the Mud Gate. He destroys a large portion of the attacking fleet by luring them into a trap; a ship filled with Wildfire and allowed to leak its cargo into the bay. He signals Bronn to detonate the Wildfire using a flaming arrow. Stannis continues with the assault, landing his troops further out in the bay to avoid the devastation of the explosion. Tyrion's initial attempts to repel the attackers are unsuccessful and Cersei has Joffrey withdrawn to the Red Keep, with the King leaving Ser Mandon Moore and Ser Boros Blount of the Kingsguard to fight in his name. Tyrion is faced with increasing dissent from his troops but rallies them with a rousing speech. He personally leads a sortie through the tunnels under the city, destroying Stannis' siege equipment. He is trapped outside the walls by a group of reinforcements and then betrayed by Ser Mandon. Mandon slashes Tyrion across the face but Podrick kills him before he can finish Tyrion off. As Tyrion collapses into unconsciousness a host of Lannister-Tyrell reinforcements led by a man wearing Renly's armor arrives to claim the victory.[20]
Tyrion awakens to find Pycelle looming over him. The reinstated Grand Maester gloatingly informs Tyrion that he has been relieved as Acting Hand of the King and moved to new chambers. Tyrion rejects pain relief, fearing that his enemy will poison him. He calls for Podrick to summon his allies, Varys and Bronn. Varys visits Tyrion and regretfully tells him that although his leadership was key to saving the city he will not be recognized by King Joffrey. He also reports that Bronn has been relieved of his command and his tribesmen have taken their plunder and gone home. Varys offers a small consolation; he has brought Shae to see Tyrion. Varys leaves them alone and Shae removes Tyrion's bandages to reveal a scar marring his whole face. Tyrion is self-pitying; she angrily asserts her love for him and begs him to flee to Pentos with her. He says that standing up to the bad people in his life, out-talking and out-thinking them, is something that he is good at and enjoys. He chooses to stay in King's Landing and she agrees to remain with him.[21]
Season 3
Tyrion requests his Father give him Casterly Rock, as Jaime gave up all rights of inheritance when he joined the Kingsguard, leaving Tyrion as the next in lawful line of succession. Tywin hatefully spites his son for "killing" his mother in childbirth, and saying that he will never make Tyrion heir to Casterly Rock considering him an abomination and a curse, who would humiliate the family name and turn Casterly Rock into a brothel. As Tyrion leaves, he says if he catches another whore in his bed he will hang her.
After Littlefinger is sent off to the Eyrie to try to win Lisa Arryn's hand in marriage, Tyrion is made master of coin in his place, which he finds is not as easy as it seems with Littlefinger having borrowed millions of Dragons to finance the realm.
Lord Tywin later summons both Tyrion and Cersei to his chambers to inform them of his plans to wed them off, Cersei to Loras Tyrell and Tyrion to Sansa Stark, who Tywin explains will be heir to Winterfell after he defeats Robb Stark, thus giving the Lannisters a future foothold in the North.
Tyrion is shown to be as intelligent as his father if not more so. This and his excellent education help make up for his dwarfism. Tyrion also has mind for strategy (as evidenced in the battle of Blackwater Bay). Tyrion is able to read people as easy as he does books. He has on many occasions easily gotten the better of Joffrey and Cersei but also experienced players such as Littlefinger and Pycelle.
Being a dwarf Tyrion has a soft spot for his fellow outcasts and has shown them kindness (such as having a saddle designed for the crippled Bran Stark allowing him to ride). Loyalty is another one of Tyrion's qualities, if treated with love and respect there's nothing Tyrion won't do for somebody.
Over the years Tyrion has also developed a pretty thick skin. Japes about his short stature don't seem to bother him (except when coming from his father). He even advises Jon Snow to take his bastardy in stride and use it as a shield.
Tyrion is not without faults though. He tends to overindulge in food, drink, and sex in part to compensate for the rotten treatment he's suffered most of his life. Tyrion can also act vicious if he feels he's been wronged (like confining Grand Maester Pycelle to the Black Cells for betraying him). Because his father and sister treat him like a social leper Tyrion craves love and acceptance and is genuinely hurt when this is denied him by others. Despite knowing better Tyrion constantly tries to win his father's approval only to be disappointed again and again.

In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Tyrion is in his mid-twenties when the events of the series begin. As well as being a dwarf, he is misshapen and often described as ugly and having eyes of two different colors, one green and one black. He is described as having a huge disproportionate head and an pronounced ungainly waddle when he walks. His hair is lank and very pale, but when he lets his beard grow in it comes in as a mixture of blonde and black hairs. In the TV series, actor Peter Dinklage insisted on not having a beard, because he felt that bearded dwarves are a fantasy stereotype.
Tysha was reported to be the daughter of a crofter rather than a wheelwright and the marriage took place when he was only 13 years old. He bought them a little cottage where they lived as man and wife for their two week marriage, before his father had it annulled. Tywin not only had 50 guards rape her, but then ordered Tyrion to have sex with her as well, giving her a gold piece as a Lannister is worth more.
At the Battle of the Green Fork, Tyrion is not knocked out by his own men. In fact he leads with distinction, holding the line under great adversity. Later when he tells his father that the plan to kill him by putting him in the vanguard (under the command of Ser Gregor Clegne) failed, Tyrion learns that his father had put him there hoping that an inexperienced Tyrion with undisciplined hill tribesmen would break and run to be pursued into a trap by the Stark forces. Tyrion holding the line had ruined the plan. It is a combination of this along with his reading of the situation they face in the war, and the fact that Jaime Lannister may not be retrievable, that makes Tywin decide to make use of Tyrion as acting Hand. Tyrion realizes that Tywin is preparing for the worst, that the Starks might well kill Jaime as revenge for Eddard's murder, so he is finally giving Tyrion real power.
When Tyrion relieves Janos Slynt of command of the Gold cloaks it is a man named Ser Jacelyn Bywater or "Ironhand" who becomes their new commander, not Bronn. It is Varys, not Tyrion, who comes up with the suggestion to send Joffrey some prostitutes to soften his temper, but the results are not shown. Tyrion does not send Petyr Baelish to Catelyn Stark at Renly's camp with Lord Eddard's bones and an offer for the release of Jaime Lannister (though Baelish is sent to treat with the Tyrells after Renly's death). The bones are sent with Cleos Frey (replaced by Alton Lannister in the series) to Riverrun along with unacceptable peace terms and a force of 100 Lannister soldiers that hide four men Tyrion has sent to break Ser Jaime out, an escape attempt that fails. Shae is not brought to the Tower of the Hand, instead she is put in a manse that Tyrion can approach by using a tunnel from under a brothel. The most important of the defenses for the city that Tyrion builds is a huge chain that stretches across the whole of Blackwater Rush, to be raised after Stannis' fleet enters to trap them inside with the wildfire.
In the book's version of the Battle of Blackwater, Tyrion has almost his entire nose cut off by Ser Mandon Moore's sword swipe; the TV series only included the deep scar across his face (which as also present in the books). As Peter Dinklage explained, "I know, for fans of the books, that Tyrion loses his nose in the battle. But it would be next to impossible and very expensive to do that on television, and I would be wearing a green sock [on my nose, to digitally remove it with greenscreen], I think, for the next however many years, which I don't know how that would be on set. But yeah, the digital artist would have a lot of work on their hands. So I think we came up with a really good solution."[22]
According to the TV series official pronunciation guide developed for the cast and crew, "Tyrion Lannister" is pronounced "TEER-ee-un LAN-iss-ter".

Here's a story I had in the Courant over the weekend about Jin Hi Kim, composer and inventor of the electric komungo. Her work combines East, West, centuries-old music and new technology. The komungo is a traditional instrument that Confucian scholars used to create meditation. Kim runs her instrument through a computer to get all sorts of sounds. The above clip is a good sample of both the acoustic komungo and (about halfway through) electric komungo.
And if you're in the New Haven area, she'll be performing at Firehouse 12 this Friday.

[Adobe Digital Publishing Suite] [Colin Fleming - Digital Publishing Evangelist] Let's go a little bit deeper into the produce and publish part of the process. The produce part is where I start using the DPS Dashboard system to access the things that I've built in InDesign and the folios that I've built using the Folio Builder panel. My experience is going to be a little bit different depending upon what type of a DPS user I am. For instance, I'm going to log in to the system using credentials as a creative designer. I've logged in to the Dashboard as a creative user. That's somebody who has a free Adobe ID. On the left-hand side of the Dashboard I can see I have access to the Folio Producer tools, but I don't have access to the other tools. That's because I'm working as a free user. If I'm a subscriber to DPS at the Pro or Enterprise level, I'll have access to more of the tools on the left-hand side. As a creative user, I can see partway down the left-hand side that I can buy a license to build a single edition application. This is where I would go to buy the serial number to build my custom viewer. I'm going to log out of this view and I'm going to log back in with a different ID to show you what it looks like for an Enterprise user. Now I've logged in as an Enterprise customer, and you can see more of the tools on the left-hand side of the Dashboard are available to me. The big thing I want to talk about at this point is using the Folio Producer. This is where I go into the web view of what I've constructed in InDesign, and I can see what I've built, but I can also see what people have shared with me. So let's go into the Folio Producer area and see what I can do. Now I'm looking at the Folio Producer Organizer area. This shows all of the folios that I've constructed in InDesign and any folios which have been shared with me. One of the things I can do in the Organizer mode is lock a folio so somebody cannot change the content or mark it as active. This creates a little marker in InDesign that tells me that this is active. I can see the folio name and a publication name, and I see things like folio numbers. To edit any of these fields, I simply click into them and then type the value that I want. The publication date is today. As I scroll on over, I'm going to add a description. If you watch carefully, you might note that some of these entries have blue asterisks. This data is required later in the process when you publish the content. So go ahead and fill it in as we work. You can see I already have loaded the covers and I've now completed all of the metadata for this particular folio. I can also share folios in the Folio Producer simply by selecting one and then using the Share command up here. The experience is going to be very similar to what I had in InDesign. If I want to go ahead and open a folio, this is where I can see individual articles inside of it. In the Folio Producer Editor mode I can see the individual articles and even previews of each of the pages inside of the article. I'm taking a look at the vertical orientations, but I can also take a look at the horizontal view as well. This is sort of showing me a visual cascade of the articles. I can also take a look at this in a list view. This is where I can see all of the metadata for all of the articles inside of this particular folio. Back in the thumbnail view, this is also where I can see that if I hover I see metadata about one of these articles. And if I select the article, I can edit article properties on the right-hand side. This might be LOCAL cover, Byline: staff, Welcome to Fall. So by adding this metadata, it's going to be visible inside of the viewer later on. If I want to change the order of content, there are a couple of ways I can do this. One is to simply drag the cover to the left of the 2Wheels article, and now I've changed the order of the reading inside of the viewer. I can also change the order in the list view by simply selecting one of the numbers and changing it. If I make 2Wheels number 1, I've now swapped the positions. I'm going to take the cover, I'm going to make this number 1, and again I've swapped them back. The Folio Producer system is about organizing the content. I've got 2 articles in this particular folio. Maybe I want to pull content in from another folio. I click the Add button and now I can browse through the folios that I have access to. So I might choose the LOCAL Spring publication, choose the ad for the university, and I'm now adding something from a different folio into this one to combine the contents. This is how I can bring content from somebody else into my work. And again, I can come on back and choose to change the order of the content visually. This is what I do in the Folio Producer Editor. When I come back out of the Editor, I'm back at the Organizer. I can see all those folios ready to go. Once I've finished the production, I've got everything assembled the way I want, all the metadata looks great, I need to move to the next step. That next step is publishing the content. We're going to talk about viewers shortly. The thing to keep in mind here is publishing is going to sort of make your content official. It makes it visible to a custom viewer, or it makes it possible for you to export the content so that you can inject it into a single edition folio. You do this by clicking the Publish button at the top of the screen. If I mark this as private it's not visible to custom viewers, but eventually I need to make it public so it is visible to the viewer. I'm going to keep this one private. Free is where I'm saying this particular folio is free, pricing is set as a developer at an App Store, Marketplace, or App World. I'm going to mark this one as free. I'm going to give this a product ID. This product ID needs to match the product ID for my application in the App Store or Marketplace and when I build it in the Viewer Builder. When I click the Publish button, it makes my content visible to a custom viewer or it makes it possible for me to download a local copy for Viewer Builder to use. So that's what I use the Producer tools to do: pull content in, check the metadata, assemble folios, maybe add content, and eventually publish it in a way that the Viewer Builder can then use in the next step of the process. Thanks for watching. [Adobe Digital Publishing Suite - tv.adobe.com]

Styling Tip
Step 1: Combine a nickel-size amount of styling lotion with a few drops of shine serum and apply onto damp hair. Using a round brush, blow dry two-inch sections while turning the brush several times to create roundness through the length.
Step 2: Mist the bottom of a one-inch section with styling spray and wrap it around a medium curling iron. Hold for a few seconds to set the curl, release and repeat all over while alternating curl direction.
Step 3: Run your fingers through your hair to break up the sections.

Making a living in commericial fishing in the Northeast has gotten tougher with each passing year. Now, regulators have announced strict new limits on the amount of cod that fishermen from Massachusetts to Maine can catch. It's part of an effort to rebuild severely depleted fish stocks. But as Jay Field reports, fishermen worry the new restrictions may put them out of business for good.
In Port Clyde, on Maine's midcoast, boats named Day Star, Sinful, Amazing Grace and Yankee Pride sit in driveways on the road into this small fishing village. A driving wind turns the gray water off the town wharf into a tapestry of white caps that crest and break against the last five fishing trawlers left in the harbor.
"We're probably at the lowest level of groundfish boats that's ever been," says Gary Libby, whose family owns three of the remaining five boats. Libby sits in his pick-up truck, near the wharf. "Back when I first fished, 30-plus years ago, most of the lobster boats put nets on in the spring and went fishing," he says.
For a long time, cod and other species of groundfish in the Gulf of Maine were plentiful - a seemingly endless bounty. In 1990, about 350 boats in Maine caught more than 15-million pounds of cod alone. But as the years passed, overfishing caused stocks to decline.
Regulators imposed stricter and stricter catch limits to prop up a fishery in freefall. By 2011, the 40 or so remaining fishing trawlers in Maine hauled in just 750,000 pounds of cod.
John Bullard is the top federal fisheries regulator at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. "No young fish are being born and recruiting into the fishery. So the stocks not rebuilding," he says. "This is a real problem."
A problem so serious that Bullard says regulators have no choice but to take drastic action. Yesterday, the New England Fishery Management Council voted to cut the cod catch in the waters off Maine by 77 percent over the next two years.
There was bad news, too, for fishermen in New Hampshire and in the Massachusetts fishing meccas of Gloucester and New Bedford. The catch along the Georges Bank will drop by 61 percent. Bullard says the cuts are necessary to save the cod fishery over the long term. "And that's going to have a significant economic impact on fishermen, on their families and on fishing communities," he says.
"If I could find a job for $25,000 - $30,000 a year, with benefits, I'd walk away from this fishery tomorrow. I really would," says
Randy Cushman. I meet Cushman in his basement, where he's fixing up a 100-foot-long trawling net. In the winter, Cushman has to travel 75 miles out to sea to catch anything. The last few trips, he says, were money losers.
"Right now, my wife and I are fuel a thousand dollars, fuel negative. There's gonna come a point where I'm gonna need to put fuel in that boat and the money's not going to be there, in other words," he says.
Cushmen's boat is the collateral he used to get the mortgage on his house. Melanie Cushman is Randy's wife.
"I got a lot of physical issues," she says. "We've got no insurance. We've worked hard all our lives. To be in this situation - it's beyond me."
The Cushmens say they'll decide in the coming months whether to keep fishing or close up shop for good.

It is an unfortunate aspect of modern football that pressure and impatience go hand in hand, especially when it comes to any analysis of football managers.
Indeed, one could very well argue that Yanga's erstwhile coach, Sam Timbe has been the victim of football's self-destructive drive to constantly win matches without any slip-ups.
How else then can one explain Timbe's demise at a club which he had guided to remarkable success within his short spell at the helm?
It is important to briefly revisit the two major titles that the Jangwani street side won under Timbe's stewardship in an incredibly short time. Let us not lose sight of the fact that after a ding-dong battle with rivals Simba, Yanga emerged as the deserving champions of the Mainland Premier League last season.
Hot on the heels of this title win, Yanga admirably lifted the prestigious East and Central African Club Championship diadem, affectionately dubbed Kagame Cup here in the country.
Consider too that the Kagame Cup features the crème de la crème of the regional football scene and therefore makes for ferocious competition. Sadly though, Yanga have endured a torrid start to their campaign this season, which has made Timbe's life in the hot seat extremely difficult and uncomfortable.
However, it is really strange and incomprehensible that Yanga club officials would dispose of Timbe's services just when their results are beginning to pick up in a big way.
Indeed, due to Timbe's efforts, the club had managed to heave itself out of the relegation zone to presently occupy second place on the league table, behind the pace-setters Simba.
It also throws into serious question the judgment of Yanga officials, who promptly gave Timbe the heave-ho once the going began to get sour. After all, which illustrious manager in global football today has not had the misfortune of suffering a terrible run of poor results?
It just goes to show that modern football, both domestically and internationally, seriously needs a heavy injection of patience, especially where managers are concerned.

text: Help us map London's Silicon Roundabout Wired Blog 22 October 09 by David Rowan http://www.flickr.com/photos/anniemole/2424372024/Flickr CC: Annie Mole Update, 13/11/09: Thanks for all your suggestions below. We've weighed and debated all those received by the start of this week. In whittling down our final list, our main criteria were to favour companies most in the spirit of the original 15 Silicon Roundabout firms; and also to favour local businesses rather than local branches of international businesses. But boy, what a vast amount of talent and creativity we found in one small neighbourhood – very exciting. You can see the result in a pull-out map in the February issue of Wired, out on January 7 next year.We have an ambitious project we're working on for Wired magazine for which we'd welcome your input. We're trying to map out the creative/tech quarter that's sprung up around Old Street and Shoreditch in north-east London – and we want to know which businesses we've missed. So let's crowdsource this together. The final product will be a beautiful, shiny pull-out map in a future edition of the magazine.First, a bit of history.The term "Silicon Roundabout" is attributed to Dopplr's Matt Biddulph, who defined it last year as "the ever-growing community of fun startups in London's Old Street area". He created a Google Map in July 2008 charting the relevant firms in the area. There were 15 firms on Biddulph's original map:Dopplr: City Rd, London EC1Y 2BPLast.fm: Baches St, London N1 6DLConsolidated Independent: Rhoda St, London E2 7EF Tinker.it: Scrutton St, London EC2A 4PJSchulze & Webb (now BERG): Scrutton St, London EC2A 4PJ Trampoline Systems: Dereham Place, London EC2A 3HJ RedMonk: Scrutton St, London EC2A 4PJLShift/Cohesive FT: Rufus St, London N1 6PEmoo: City Rd, London EC1Y 2BPAMEE: City Rd, London EC1Y 2BPSkimbit: Paul St, London EC2A 4UJSongkick: Hoxton St, London N1 6NGTechlightenment: Shoreditch High St, London E1 6JJPoke London: Redchurch St, London E2 7DDKizoom: Holborn, London EC1N 2HSThe map later added IDEO (Clerkenwell Road, London EC1R 5DF) and Ket Lai.Along the way, Matt Jones (then of Dopplr, now of BERG – close families, these) created a Ning group for the neighbourhood.But who else should be on the map today? We asked researcher Georgina Voss, who is in the process of completing a thorough study of the area, to suggest other businesses that currently fit the remit of "tech-related firms in the EC2A area". Voss – who worked from the offices of BERG/S&W (see here) - came up with a further 40 or so. As she says, some are obvious fits, eg Zolmo, Habit Industries, TweetDeck, whereas others may be open to debate.Here's her provisional list; so tell us (in the comments below) who isn't here who should be, and also who is here that you feel isn't quite right for this list.

She is brave. Though I fear she may die. She is based off the Little Mermaid, who ended up dying in the original story.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- A top Republican budget writer in the state Senate says colleagues likely will consider whether it makes sense to reduce the number of University of North Carolina system campuses.
Sen. Pete Brunstetter of Forsyth County told WRAL-TV potential consolidation will be part of the hard look the Senate takes at the UNC system this year. The system has 16 traditional campuses and UNC School of the Arts in Winston-Salem.
Brunstetter says senators can envision campus consolidation and suggested that could mean 14 or 15 campuses.
UNC system leaders, the House and Gov. Pat McCrory certainly would weigh on such a proposal.
McCrory's budget proposal released this week would spend $143 million less in state funds next year for the UNC system compared to this year.

The term as well as the modern-day camera evolved from the Latin camera obscura for "dark chamber" for an early mechanism of projecting images where an entire room functioned as a real-time imaging system.
The first Grand Theft Auto game to feature an interactable camera was Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, although, like later games Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, the player could only use it in one mission. Also in GTA VC tourists are seen with cameras even though when you kill them you can't get their camera. In GTA Liberty City Stories you can get a camera by doing the Tourist missions and when you get the camera you steal it.
The device was also available in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, albeit with more functionality, allowing the player to use it freely. It can be used in San Fierro to collect snapshots, which is required to achieve 100% completion. The camera has a capacity of 36 pictures per film, and pictures taken can be saved. If the player recruits a gang member, the player can give the camera to him by walking up to him and pulling the left trigger. After that, the game is viewed through the perspective of the gang member and pictures of CJ can be taken. The player can also aim the camera at a girlfriend and CJ will say something related to photo-shooting and she will wave. If you aim the camera at a gang member, CJ will say something like he says to his girlfriend, but the gang member will not respond or wave unless the player has recruited him.
In Grand Theft Auto IV, the player is equipped with a Whiz camera phone during the mission Photo Shoot. The camera is used in certain missions where a picture is required. Outside of missions, snapshots can be taken, but there is no way of saving them. Accessing the camera function of the phone when in a train or cable car allows for first-person view. In a player-controlled vehicle however, the car will stop immediately when the camera is selected, no matter what speed (this glitch was fixed in the PC version). In some tourist spot like Firefly Projects, some pedestrians are seen using the camera, however when they dropped the camera, you can pick it but unable to use, instead you can throw it like other objects. In Grand Theft Auto The Ballad of Gay Tony, in the first club management mission at Maisonette 9, where you have to save Clay Jackson from paparazzis, the paparazzis are using cameras as well but with another design, though they can't be used by the player, but they can be used to pick up and throw like other objects.

- Easter Bay International Airport - On the southeastern green area in front of the airport portal.
- Esplanade North - 2
- In front of a door, behind The Well Stacked Pizza Co., near a tunnel that passes though some houses.
- On the last floor of a huge parking lot building.
- Foster Valley - At the end of a wide ramp, under a builing, that leads to two large metal doors.
- Financial - Under the Big Pointy Building on the side facing the Vank Hoff Hotel.
- Garcia - Near the Burger Shot door, beside the menu.

- Ocean Flats - Inside an area (possibly a parking lot) that has an open gate, behind the Cluckin' Bell.
- Palisades - Behind the Tuff Nut Donuts shop.
- Santa Flora - At the end of the covered parking lot of the San Fierro Medical Center.
- Aside from capturing a screenshot of the game, the camera also stops nearby vehicles, and temporarily slows down speeches (as they were heard on the slow-motion cheats of the game)
- In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas the player can immediately switch to third-person view whilst the screen flashes. This can be done by hitting both mouse buttons simultaneously (PC), allowing the gamer to take a brief photo of CJ.
- You can save photos on the camera without saving the actual game only in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
- If you look closely at the camera in GTA San Andreas, its lens slightly resembles an eye.
- In GTA San Andreas, if you are walking with a camera in your hand and you start tapping the aim button while walking, CJ will suddenly stop and will be stuck in the walking position. He will be floating in mid air with both his legs bent, as if he is walking, but he won't be moving. To start moving again, just move.
- In GTA San Andreas there is a glitch that if you walk backwards and fall over from a boat into water while aiming with the camera, you can swim while still in aim mode. You can even dive in the water (but it last only 2 seconds and you can't really move underwater), although you can't take photos while in the water, and releasing the aim button will permanently stop the glitch until starting it again. It is unknown if it works on any platform other than PC.
- During the final cutscene of The Green Sabre on GTA San Andreas, when C.R.A.S.H. drop CJ off in Whetstone, the camera Officer Pulaski gives to CJ is a different model to the one in the game. It is white with a detachable flash, and the lens is wider, yet shorter and is more detailed than the final model.
- In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, if the player has the camera in hand, and enters the Hunter or Hydra and enters first-person view, the HUD will be that of the camera.
- This can make aiming with the vehicle's weapons easier as it gives the player a square in the middle of the screen which works as a makeshift sight.
- In GTA San Andreas, if NPC use the camera and player attacks them, they will try to "shoot" the player with the camera.
- In GTA San Andreas, if the player take a shot while he is on the Tram, the player will fall into the Blue Hell for few second before the game teleport the player back to the world.
- In GTA San Andreas, if the player has recruited some gang members, they can walk up to one of the members and ask for him to take CJ's photo. The camera will then be stuck in one position (because a gang member is holding it) and CJ can walk around where ever he wants. Once you feel like you're in the right position, press the fire button and the gang member will take the photo and it will be added to the players gallery.

JE058: Imitation Confrontation

SynopsisWhile resting at a local towns Pokémon center Ash and co. meet their old friend Duplica, disguised as Nurse Joy (However Brock could see through her disguise (Not literally of course)). Apparently she's in town to attend an acting convention and to have a new Ditto she nicknamed "Mini-Dit" examined. She reveals that the thing that's wrong with it is that, even though it can duplicate other Pokémon, it can't match the size of really tall pokemon like Brock's Onix. Later Team Rocket come up with a plan to steal Mini-Dit, which succeeds. Will Duplica ever find Mini-Dit again? And does Duplica know something about Jessie's Wobbuffet she doesn't?
- Duplica enters a double battle with her Ditto and Mini-Dit against Jessie and her Arbok and Wobbuffet.
- This is one of very few episodes where Jessie does not wear her lipstick. It happened when she was imitating Duplica when she and James (imitating Ash) were reciting their motto. Another instance like this happened in the Pokemon Chronicles episode "Training Daze" when she and Cassidy (Also not wearing lipstick at the time) were running on the treadmill.
- Duplica and Ditto returns for the first time since IE037.
- "I remember you, do you remember me?"

When I first turned on my Galaxy Tab 10.1, I told it to automatically set the time. Unfortunately now the time zone is set to GMT+00:00 in the Date & time settings, and is disabled (so I can't change it). How do I enable the time zone setting so I can change it?
I downloaded a free app called TimeZone Changer to fix this problem. Still don't understand why Samsung disables this.
Uncheck "Automatic - Use network-provided values". It should be the first entry in
I could not get it to change timezone or time either. Could not make it stop using network time either. i did a factory reset (from settings | privacy), correctly set my timzeone this time BEFORE saying use network time, and that worked fine.
You can go into the calendar app and under settings there is a checkbox titled "use home time zone". Check that box and then you will be able to adjust the time zone.
The problem is that the "Automatic Time Zone" setting on the Samsung Galaxy Tab defaults to on, and the preference to disable it is missing from the built-in settings application.
There is an app on the Android market specifically designed to correct this issue called Galaxy Time Zone Fix. It mimics the "Date & Time" section of the built-in settings application but adds the missing preferences.
I had the same problem and network-provided values are locked/disabled and I'm not able to change them.
However using ClockSync works for me.
