In a now post-analog, technology-driven world, many industries are struggling to keep up; some have gone by the wayside entirely (Polaroid pictures, anyone?). Many remember when we still loaded film into cameras, but children now might be baffled at the sight.
Kodak is arguably the best in illustrating the grand evolution of reality-capturing technology, spanning over more than a century - with the last 20 years being some of its most turbulent due to the digital revolution. A similar change is underway within the movie industry, but has been much slower because it is much more costly.
Although it is no new topic, it's still having a major impact as movie companies are imposing a "digital mandate" on smaller theaters that still utilize 35 mm film and accompanying film equipment on a regular basis.

Pike Drive-In is on its 60th year in operation, but its future is uncertain as it has to raise enough money to purchase new digital equipment.
LYNDSEY HEWITT/Sun-Gazette
Movie studios are imposing a digital mandate. Production of 35 mm film is slated to end at the end of 2013 in the U.S., and by 2015 worldwide.

Many come from all over the state and even out of state to get the drive-in experience at Pike Drive-In, Montgomery.
LYNDSEY HEWITT/Sun-Gazette
Many theaters are still using film projectors that are decades old. New digital equipment comes with a hefty price tag that Pike Drive-In owner Joe McDade said is about the price of an Escalade.
Those particular historical theaters, many of which have been in use as an entertainment hub since the early part of the 20th century, are small and locally owned with few screens - but are a historical staple to their respective towns in which they dwell. These cinemas offer much cheaper prices than their mega-plex counterparts and have that nostalgic feel that many in the community cherish.
The plan is to end production of 35 mm film in the United States by the end of 2013, with worldwide distribution ending in 2015. Currently, only about 10 percent of theaters have yet to convert to digital.
"By end of 2015, 35 mm [film] will no longer exist in cinemas and that'll be the end of that," said David Hancock, head of film and cinema at IHS Screen Digest, in an article published on screendaily.com.

While most would happily welcome the new, clearer, easily-transportable format, the price tag is what is making shutting down look more promising.
For new digital equipment, these small theaters are being asked to fork up anywhere between $40,000 and $100,000 per screen.
"It's a tough bullet to bite when you're operating on a $6 ticket price," said Ernie Renninger, co-owner, along with his wife, Nancy, of the Roxy Theatre, Lock Haven.
So where do our local, small, historical theaters stand?
The Ritz Theatre, Muncy
In operation since the early '20s, The Ritz is a one-screen cinema and is located in the heart of Muncy. It's really a one-of-a-kind, at least in this area; it arguably is only still functioning due to one very-dedicated man with a big heart for film.
Jay Richards, who is in his 60s, not only runs the ticket booth, but also runs the projectors, concessions and cleans up, but not without the help of a few dedicated volunteers.
Richards doesn't get paid either; he emphasized that no one gets paid. For people to do it for free, he said, they really have to love the theater.
Like so many in the industry, Richards explained his love of film and theater that began when he was very young.
It's in the blood, he said, many times over.
"Theater's just something very magical, ya know?"
For him, the change to digital has been an ongoing battle. With only one screen and a not-so-high profit margin, the demand for upwards of $100,000 seems impossible to meet. Richards has already put up a great deal of his own money to keep the cinema in operation.
The business has been soliciting donations on their website, ritztheatremuncy.com, where a big "Save the Ritz" button resides and links to a letter explaining their financial situation.
Their plan is to become a non-profit organization so that they can apply for grants, but so far, the theater has not reached the goals needed to become one.
"We're accepting donations and going to try and do fundraisers, hoping to reach the goal before film is over with," Richards said.
Pike Drive-In, Montgomery
Owner Joe McDade calls running the Pike Drive-In a love affair. On its 60th year in operation, Pike is the only drive-in left in the county. With the decline of drive-in theaters, drive-ins now only make up 1.5 percent of all movie screens.
"We're lucky, we have a different environment here," McDade said. He's referring to the unique experience that drive-ins offer; come with a carload of friends or family, and even pets, and hang out in your car, or outside of it as many do, to watch a double feature for a cheap ticket price. Some people even bring their own couches and air mattresses. Movie-lovers come from all parts of Pennsylvania, and even out of state, to get Pike's unique cinematic experience. On Saturday, the line to get a ticket was long as the sun was setting and the air still warm. Children were running around the field catching fireflies as they anticipated the start of "Despicable Me" or "Monsters University," showing on screens one and two.
Drive-ins face a somewhat different battle from normal theaters in the digital conversion; due to the long length from projector to screen, they must buy the best projection equipment.
"It's about the price of an Escalade," McDade said. That's per screen. "The biggest fear is losing a screen," he said, adding that it's also tough because drive-ins are a seasonal business.
Pike has started a fundraiser online to which only a few have donated thus far.
Pike Drive-In employees have even given up their tip cup by the register; it has been replaced with a donation bin where proceeds will go to new projection equipment to save the drive-in from closing.
According to McDade, Pike will need to buy at least two projectors for two screens in order to "stay viable" as a theater, but, he said, the up-front costs are very prohibitive.
"Kids five and under are free. We offer cheap entertainment for the whole family. There's nothing like that anywhere near. I hate to say it, but if we close, I don't know where I'd tell people to go," he said.
"Now you got Netflix, Blu-Ray and such, but you can't get the same experience."
McDade just got quotes for new projector equipment on Wednesday.
"The good news is that prices have come down since last year, but the bad news is that it's still expensive," he said.
Mike Quinn is Pike's projectionist, who has been there since the late '80s. He's also a railroad enthusiast and pet lover (he brings his dogs, Chase and Ryan, with him to work). And he's not a fan of digital.
"I don't like digital TV. It pixilates when something goes wrong, back then, if ya lost the TV, ya got snow, now it freezes," he said.
Currently, Pike's projection room doesn't have air conditioning. Quinn sweats profusely as he gets the movies prepared. With the switch to digital, the room would have to be air conditioned - yet another expense.
"Attendance is very good and gets better and better every year," McDade said. "We're not gonna give up."
The Roxy Theatre, Lock Haven
Now the only theater in Clinton County, The Roxy is about the same age as The Ritz, having also been in operation since the early 1920s. Two other screens were added on 1999, thanks to owners Ernie and Nancy Renninger.
The Roxy is definitively going digital.
"It's probably going to happen at the end of August or the first part of September. I've got two different quotes in converting, and I'm analyzing to see which way to go," Ernie Renninger said. "It's the only theater in Clinton County and it does well, so there's no other option than to go digital," he said. "We're being forced or we'll go out of business."
They're just debating on whether to add the ability to screen 3-D movies or not, which is an added expense. Already they are looking at a nearly $300,000 expense for the equipment and subsequent renovations.
"Everyone thinks it's just a fad, we may skip it for now, we can always add it later," Renninger said.
He doesn't think the conversion will make any difference in the attendance.
"It will be a better picture and sound, but the quality of the movie is what makes the difference," he said.
Recently he and his wife enjoyed watching "White House Down" and were planning to see "The Lone Ranger." He doesn't particularly care for zombie movies.
Things are looking good for the Roxy.
"Things change; you gotta go with it or close the doors," Renninger said.
The Campus Theatre, Lewisburg
Built in 1941, The Campus Theatre is one of the lucky few historical theaters that have already endured the conversion to digital.
In 2011, the theater went through a renovation, which was when they were able to convert. They actually were able to keep their 35 mm projector intact, so they can show film also if desired.
"I know how lucky we are ... we are one of the few single-screen theatres fortunate enough to be able to make this expensive equipment upgrade and roll into the digital age," said Ellen Flacker-Darer, Campus Theatre's executive director.
"As a not-for-profit theater, we would not have been able to make this conversion without amazing support from our community and our outstanding partnership with Bucknell University," Flacker-Darer said.
A non-profit theater, it boasts of being one of the few remaining single-screen art deco movie houses in the country, and is dedicated to the promotion of the art of cinema.
Overall, futures for these beloved locations are looking mostly bright but somewhat uncertain, too. To help the locations in need, be sure to visit them online or catch a flick and talk to the owner in person.

What's New This Week?
Social media channels this week were among the first to reveal the passing of one of the world's greatest innovators—Steve Jobs.
Social Media Examiner's founder Michael Stelzner was on a webinar with Guy Kawasaki, former Apple chief evangelist, just as the news broke. Here are Mike's words:
Ten minutes before Guy Kawasaki was to keynote Facebook Success Summit 2011, Guy said to me, "Mike, we have a problem…" I said, "Guy, what??" My heart started pumping hard. He said, "Steve Jobs died…" I was shocked, and didn't believe him at first! He said, "Go to CNN.com" Knowing that Guy was the former evangelist for Apple and that Guy had a very strong connection to Steve, many things started going through my head "What do I do…" Guy said, "Do you think it is appropriate that I talk about Facebook marketing or my life experience with Steve Jobs." After some discussion, I decided it was best to let Guy share what was on his mind and heart.
What follows is Guy talking about how Steve Jobs was his hero and how Steve has forever changed business:
Listen to Guy Kawasaki pay a tribute to Steve Jobs and answer questions from callers.

Campus Theme
"Common Ground": A Campus Theme & Common Read
Westminster College's annual theme, "Common Ground," offers members of the campus community an opportunity to engage in a year long discussion about compelling issues, ideas, and texts. College settings encourage the free exchange of ideas among people of diverse backgrounds and a common theme can help facilitate some of those conversations. Because of the college's unique setting in the middle of a thriving urban center that is surrounded by the Wasatch mountain range, the Great Salt Lake, and miles of uninhabited desert, Westminster employs a "place-based" theme that rotates each year among desert, mountain, lake, and city. The theme for 2010-2011 is city.

Adrienne Maloof wants to make one thing clear about Sean Stewart: "We are not living together. He has his own place. He has a nice place."
Otherwise, she tells PEOPLE, what you've read is true: The 51-year-old, recently single star of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is, in fact, enjoying a budding relationship with the 32-year-old son of Rod Stewart.
"This started as a business relationship and now we're casually dating," she says, emphasizing, "It's casual, real casual."
Stewart, she says, is "a lot more mature than a lot of 60-year-olds at this time in his life," and he's long since left behind his partying ways.
"That was when he was a young kid," says Maloof. "He's been clean and sober for years."
Maloof, looking great and sounding carefree, with no sign of her recent nasty divorce, notes that her family "has always been in youth-oriented businesses" – they run a Las Vegas casino among other enterprises – so she can relate.
"I'm a modern business woman," she says. "I don't think of age."
And the fact that Stewart comes from a famous family is a plus. "He understands my world, the entertainment industry and being a public figure," she says.
So what does she think about Sean's father, the legendary Rod, who is still going strong at 68?
"His dad is lovely," she says, "A very nice person."

SHEPHERDSTOWN - A woman believed to be about 50 years old was struck and killed by a train in Shepherdstown on Monday, police say.
Just before 10 p.m. Monday, an emergency call was received reporting that at least one and perhaps two pedestrians had been struck by a northbound Norfolk Southern train near the crossing at East German Street.
David Ransom, Shepherdstown police chief, confirmed Monday night that one pedestrian was killed by the train. The report of a second, male victim remained unconfirmed.

A woman believed to be about 50 years old was struck and killed by a train Monday night, police say.
"The other pedestrian has not been located at this time," Ransom said. "I don't have any reason to believe (there is a second victim) other than that was the initial report that came in."
Traffic was blocked at the East German Street railroad crossing while the investigation took place Monday night.
Identification of the confirmed victim was withheld Monday pending notification of next of kin. Ransom said additional information would be released via a news release when it is available.

Well here it goes again. Obama's NSA liberal Ms. Rice once again blames a 'video' for mocking John Kerry as the problem with no peace talks working between Palestinians and Israeli's. Never mind that Palestinians remark daily that their goal is to wipe Israel off the map.
The wicked just being themselves. And the liberal administration just getting more stupid.
You'd think Obama/dems would have wanted to stop the 'video' blame game for everything after Benghazi. This bunch is dangerous to any 'peace negotiation.' John Kerry acting like the idiot he is by supporting a boycott on Israeli products worldwide doesn't 'help' peace! It causes the typical liberal division and chaos and warring they appear to love so well.

As Israeli settlers' mock John Kerry and his ridiculous stupid support of 'peace' yet sides with anti-semitic liberals in 'boycotting' Israeli products, Mr. Kerry says he's been in Vietnam and he won't be intimidated. Oh really? THen why did he run back home like some scared rabbit? LOL.
Every liberal goes into other countries, stirs up chaos and discord then leaves and sits back and watches the fighting. They are 'instigators' kind of like some of them on this site and in the Obama administration. Look at how they have divided people in our own nation today. Left are trouble-makers and enjoy bullying others around. They typically show NO tolerance for anyone else and enjoy the misery of others. But now, they see their party is running from Obama's twisted ideology and distancing themselves as they see their chances of re-election 'dwindling' before their very beady little eyes! There is always consequences for your actions---and their day is coming. DNC is falling apart.

Democrats/Obama scrambling to try to get all those healthy young people who were all so 'gung ho' about Obamacare, signed up before the deadline! LOL. I guess Obamacare is a bust! Not enough healthy young people to pay for their parents, grandparents' healthcare. LOL.
Bless the young....for they shall inherit the national debt! Keep working all you young folks....you'll never own the things your parents/grandparents did because you stupidly voted for a dictator that loves taxing the young and then destroying any chance you had before of getting a decent paying job that would have allowed you to 'succeed.' Living on the govt dole doesn't allow for such 'luxuries' and after the cutting of SNAP in Farm Bill Obama passed and signed; one of those 'luxuries' will be food on your table.

Democrats gun control attempts appears to be making their democrat supporters in those states JOBLESS....and their states collecting LESS taxes....thus leading those democrat states to have LESS money to hand over to their liberal supporters through "entitlement" programs they love so well.
In the news this week that lib media WON'T print? Here goes. (It's a shame today that individuals must report the real news).
Although mass shootings like the one in Newtown grab headlines, firearm-related homicides remain a tiny portion of total deaths in the U.S. and have actually been on the decline for almost two decades, despite greater sales of guns. The Justice Department's Bureau of Justice Statistics reported last year that "firearm-related" homicides fell 39% between 1993 and 2011, and "nonfatal firearm-related violent victimization against persons aged 12 or older" dropped 70% over the same time period.

You can always tell when democrats realize they're in trouble politically---they get even more insane!
Mr. Turner's hatred for anyone showing 'compassion' tells a lot about him. Liberals can't show compassion, no matter how hard they try to for 'political show.' Remember Bill Clinton 'trying' to wipe away a 'transparent' tear? Or Al Gore when he was told when campaigning for president against Bush that he needed to stop being so 'stiff' and show more compassion and act more human-like?? Hilarious.
I told you the Tea Party is going stronger every time a liberal or Obama himself talks. Their speech is nothing but hate for others and special favors for those who bow down to them. Thanks Mr. Turner for helping the Tea Party expand into ALL the states. Thanks for making some democrats so ashamed of the DNC that they have lEFT your party of nuts. You libs are one big mixed bag of nuts and each day you prove how intolerant and nasty & miserable you all are.

Mr. Turner states; quote: It is the return of compassionate conservatism, that mushy, murky thing once offered by George W. Bush. Unquote. Hilarious Mr. Turner. First, we KNOW liberals hate it that conservatives are 'compassionate' to the poor, the workers, the disabled, the elderly, and are NOT the ones bullying overweight people, country people, christians, and jewish people. It's the liberals who show us vicious hatred for others; total intolerance for others and intimidation/bullying others for not 'agreeing' with their ridiculous insane idealogies that somehow they can make socialism work when no other nation in the world has ever had that succeed; but then once again...they show how much they cannot stand compassion in others by attacking those who have it.
How many more decades must go by before liberals 'get over' their insanity over mentioning of Reagan and Bush? Probably never. Insane people don't think they're insane. Seek help Turner; anger IS a form of insanity u know.

LISBON - Following the mandate to all counties by Secretary of State Jon Husted, the County Board of Elections will be open on Saturday, Sunday and even on Monday for early in-person voting.
However, the board members did voice several concerns about logistical issues the requirement will cause.
For the next two weeks voters can take advantage of early voting hours from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. Then the weekend prior to the election the board of elections will be open from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Monday.
Two board members Larry Bowersock and Jim Beardsley expressed concerns over any requirement for the board to have voting hours on Sunday.
"I would have to agree to Saturday, but when has a government office ever been open on a Sunday," Beardsley said.
Additionally, the Monday hours have the board members concerned. Executive Director Adam Booth said it takes time to print out the signature books for each polling place. Usually, the judges for each polling place pick up the signature books during the day on Monday in preparation for Tuesday morning.
However, Booth expressed concerns about someone coming to the board of elections to vote prior to 2 p.m. on Monday, but after one of the judges has picked up the book. The staff will then have to contact the judge somehow to alert him about the ballot cast at the board of elections in order to ensure the person does not vote a second time at the polling place.
In a smaller county, it will be easier to make certain two ballots are not cast, but in a larger county with millions of voters, board members expressed concerns.
Bowersock said it would be better if the votes cast on Monday were counted as provisional ballots, which are not scanned until later and would give them additional time to catch any errors. Early votes are scanned immediately.
"I want to urge people, if they feel they have to vote early on the last three days to utilize the hours on Saturday and Sunday," Booth said.
"If they have to come on Monday, we are not going to turn anyone away."
Booth said the most important part for the state mandate is that all 88 counties are going to be required to have consistent hours and opportunity for people to vote.
Still board member David Johnson lamented the loss of a time when election day was actually held on Election Day instead of for more than a month prior to the election. Already the board of elections has had 638 people stop at its new location on Dickey Drive in Lisbon to vote for the upcoming election.
Additionally, Deputy Director Kim Meek reported 7,399 have requested absentee ballots. Of those numbers, 1,373 have been Democrats and 1,815 have been Republicans. The largest number, 4,211 have been independents. Absentee ballots cannot be turned in at the polling place and must be received at the board of elections in person or by mail. Those mailed must be postmarked by Nov. 5 and received no later than Nov. 16 in order to count.
One additional concern of board members is how much overtime the board of elections is going to need in order to maintain all the extra required hours for early voting. Booth pointed out most of the extra time is being taken as compensation time later, not in monetary additional dollars.
"Our staff has been doing an excellent job," Meek complimented.
The board will meet at 7 p.m. Monday, Nov. 5 in order to try to resolve any issues or concerns about Election Day.

The PS3 got off to a pretty bad start, but these days developers are pumping out better games, whether they're exclusive or multi-platform. In the hope that we're nearing the end sloppy PS3 ports of Xbox 360 games we've put together our Top 10: Worst PS3 Ports. Which games hit the PlayStation 3 in far worse shape than they were in on the Xbox 360? Which ports really shouldn't have made it out of the QA department? Read on to find out.
F.E.A.R. was ported from the PC to the Xbox 360 fairly successfully, but something went very wrong with the PS3 game. Released after the Xbox 360 game, F.E.A.R. on PS3 suffered from a poorer frame rate and appeared to have had Vaseline smeared over the screen. For whatever reason this relatively old PC game didn't run at all well on Sony's latest console, which had a negative impact on the game's action packed gameplay. For a game that's all about carnage, a sluggish frame rate ruined things somewhat.
9. Splinter Cell - Double Agent
While we admit that we might have slightly over-rated Sam Fisher's next-gen debut, it is still an excellent game that tries to do some new things with mixed success. Sadly PS3 gamers didn't get the same great game that Xbox 360 owners were playing months earlier. The PS3 game chugs frequently and seems to be missing much of the subtle lighting that impressed so much last year. What's more, numerous sound effect glitches crop up throughout and cutscenes fail to run smoothly. It all felt rather sloppy and lessened the experience substantially.

A review of Open Course Library resources
Open Course Library's best resource: introductory college course materials
Open Course Library has now released 81 high quality, free-to-use courses to the public. Users are can adapt and distribute content under a Creative Commons license and download, remix, or teach using them. All content is stored in Google docs making it easy to access, browse, and download.
The details
These courses were designed by the Washington State Board for Community and Technical College (SBCTC) system and funded by the Washington State Legislature and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Courses range from Accounting I to Spanish III. Each course is broken down into a course module folder and a course resources folder. Course module folders often include readings, lesson plans, activities, or assignments. Course resources folder often include a syllabus, exams and quizzes, and copyright information. There's a how-to guide and a frequently asked question section if you need help.
A review
As I taught World History, Western Civilization, and US History at the college level, I was curious to see how these courses fared and started reviewing Open Course Library with World History. I immediately noticed that the history of the Olmecs, Mayans, Aztecs, Incas, and other early Mesoamerica civilizations were missing. Ancient China and Ancient India are represented in World History, but the course still has a heavy Western Civilization focus.
Overall, the World History course was well presented and structured. It was easy to navigate. If I wanted to read about the Celts, I could easily find the week on them. The topics were arranged in a linear fashion and easy to identify. The course module folder comprised an outline with learning objectives, learning activities, and course readings; three Google presentations and lecture notes in a Google doc on paleolithic, neolithic, and megalithic cultures. Quizzes and tests were mainly essay questions and held in the course resources folder.
Unfortunately, I did not have the same ease with the Western Civilization or US History courses. First, the course module folder numbered the weeks. I thus had no idea that mining in the Boise Basin would be covered in week 6 of US History II until I clicked the tab for week 6. Moreover that topic would not necessarily be covered in a US History course on the East Coast, which complicates US History in general. I had a similar situation with identifying what the content would be each week for Western Civilization. I did not guess that the Carolingian Empire would be featured in week 8 until I clicked the tab for week 8.
I tried other subjects to see how they were designed and structured. French I was a delight and user friendly, I thought. There were some Google presentations with French vocabulary and English translations which made larning easy and fun. The course module folder still used numbers for each week and I did not know what would be featured each week in the course.
However, the material followed a logical, linear sequence and took a traditional approach to presenting French I. Most users would find the material and layout easy for an introductory course. I had a different experience with Spanish I and Elementary Algebra, which were not designed or structured as well.
Best way to use it
Open Course Library courses may vary in the ways their courses are presented and structured. Nevertheless, they still offer an opportunity to learn and discover a subject or to gain knowledge. Students may use the courses as a launching pad or to supplement their own studies. Instructors or teachers may freely use the content. Independent learners are also free to use the material for their own purposes and at their own pace.
What Open Course Library is best at doing is presenting introductory college course material in a condensed, simple manner via Google docs or presentations. These courses may not have the videos or the depth, breadth, or rigor that other MOOCs or free, open courses like the Saylor Foundation have. And there's definitely room for improvement. However, the actual content of the courses is still freely available to all and there's something to be said about grabbing an algebra quiz or those French vocabulary words quickly.
5 Comments
The course material I've looked at so far looks really nice, I just wish there was a little more consistency with the file formats used. I've seen pdf, native google doc, and Microsoft Office docx files used in the same course for files that have similar purposes. And, no surprise here, the docx files end up having minor display 'differences' when downloaded and viewed in LibreOffice.
I'm not 100% sold on idea of using Google Docs for the hosting, but that's just because I've already had it glitch out a few times and present me with a login screen for Google Docs or, in some cases, a login screen for the content creator's .edu domain name (which is using Google Apps for Education.) Granted, Google Docs, at least when it is working correctly, lets me view and download all the files without having to log in. I've lost track of the number of times I've been told by academic websites that I can view or download their PDF by clicking on a link only to be taken to a site like Issuu or Scribd, which require an account to actually download the file. Going through the account creation process and agreeing to the terms of service is a bit much to download a PDF, even if the account is 'free'.
Given that the Open Course Library is an open educational resource with a CC BY license, I wonder how many "users" - be they instructors or students - fully realize that they can themselves improve upon the resources. It's hard to envision a course being 100% suitable for all contexts or use cases and it occurs to me that the benefit of it being an OER. Reuse and Remix away!
Our school district is actively building a set of online courses for high school students. The Open Course Library will be another useful resource in support of these efforts. Google hosting is an advantage for our staff. Google Docs is wildly popular in K12 education and our teachers are already familiar with the format. Staff will appreciate the ability to open and utilize content directly in their Google Drive accounts.
I am glad that I got to know about the details and the reviews. You have supplied very brilliant piece of work to us, keep it up.

A 44-year-old Makawao man was arrested Tuesday night after he allegedly reversed his truck into another man's truck and used a metal object to shatter the driver's side window and to strike the victim, police said.
The incident was reported at 6:45 p.m. after the suspect alleged that the victim stole items, police said. The victim and two others were in a truck parked at St. Joseph's Church in Makawao when the suspect pulled up in his truck, blocking in the victim's vehicle, police said. The suspect got out of his truck, approached the victim and began yelling and punching the driver's window, police said.
The victim drove away on Piiholo Road. The suspect followed, stopping his truck in front of the victim's vehicle on the road near the East Maui Watershed Partnership, police said. When the victim stopped, the suspect reversed his truck into the front of the victim's truck a few times before confronting the victim with a metal object, police said.
The suspect said he was going to kill the victim while using the metal object to shatter the driver's window and to strike the victim on his shoulder and neck, police said. The suspect also punched the victim on his head and neck, police said, and tried to pull the victim out through the driver's window.
Police said the suspect also threatened to kill the victim when a passer-by reported being about to call police.
After officers had responded, the victim reported receiving a threatening phone call from the suspect, police said.
Officers located the suspect at his residence nearby, arresting him shortly after 8 p.m. He was later released pending further investigation of second- and third-degree assault, first-degree criminal property damage, first-degree terroristic threatening and first-degree unauthorized entry into a motor vehicle.
The 22-year-old victim didn't seek medical treatment after suffering redness and bruising to the back of his neck and face, and lacerations and abrasions on his left arm, police said.

Still, security experts aren't
so hot on Snow Leopard, criticizing the operating system's
default firewall setting of "off", its lack of fully
automatic updates, and weak anti-phishing efforts for Safari.
They also weren't impressed that Apple shipped with a vulnerable
version of Flash, which downgrade users from the
safer current version.
Now one prominent Mac hacker has
pointed out a significant difference that makes Snow Leopard less
secure than the upcoming Microsoft OS, Windows 7.
Miller, of Baltimore-based Independent Security Evaluators, the
co-author of The Mac Hacker's Handbook, and winner of two consecutive
"Pwn2own" hacker contests is about as experienced as OS X
hackers come. He recently criticized
Snow Leopard, stating, "Apple didn't change anything.
It's the exact same ASLR as in Leopard, which means it's not very
ASLR is address space layout randomization, a
security technology that randomly assigns data to memory to make it
tougher for attackers to determine the location of critical operating
system functions. According to Mr. Miller, unlike Windows 7,
which features robust
ASLR, Snow Leopard's ASLR is half-baked. It does not properly
randomize the heap, the stack and the dynamic linker, the part of
Snow Leopard that links multiple shared libraries for an executable.
This means that it's much easier for hackers to attack Snow Leopard
via memory injection than Windows 7.
Still Mr. Miller offered
some praise for Apple. They rewrote QuickTime X, their video
player, largely from scratch fixing many holes and insecurities in
the process -- including an exploit Mr. Miller had been saving.
He states, "Apple rewrote a bunch of QuickTime, which was really
smart, since it's been the source of lots of bugs in the past.
They've shaken out hundreds of bugs in QuickTime over the years, but
it was still really smart of them to rewrite it. [Still] I'd
reduce the number of file formats from 200 or so to 50, and reduce
the attack surface. I don't think anyone would miss them."
also praises Apple's relatively effective implementation of DEP (data
execution prevention), another memory protection scheme that Windows
7 also has. DEP is also present in Windows XP Service Pack 2
(SP2) and Windows Vista. Still without ASLR, DEP is only so
good he says. He states, "Snow Leopard's more secure than
Leopard, but it's not as secure as Vista or Windows 7. When
Apple has both [in place], that's when I'll stop complaining about
Apple's security."
So why aren't Macs being exploited
left and right and why can Apple still air commercials claiming
superior security? Mr. Miller states, "It's harder to
write exploits for Windows than the Mac, but all you see are Windows
exploits. That's because if [the hacker] can hit 90% of the machines
out there, that's all he's gonna do. It's not worth him nearly
doubling his work just to get that last 10%."
quote: Why you may have supported windows machines, it's clear that you never supported several hundred macs in a large production environment (a big advertising agency in my case).
quote: Prove what's complete nonsense.
quote: It's good for what it is, a fisher price "my first os" kind of product
quote: but when you go through dozens of machines in a work environment I'd say at least one in ten had issues.
quote: you have inherent design flaws. The older Imac I'm typing this on right now is showing 51c for the hard drive temp. This is at least 8 degrees higher then it should be and will no doubt shorten the life of the drive.
quote: you have the "most advanced operating system in the world" which has abysmal memory management
quote: routinely freezes for many seconds at a time (the spinning beachball of death), or just crashes outright.
quote: for consumers who like you said don't want to know anything about anything.
quote: So how are they more reliable again?
quote: Does OSX never crash? Does OSX never freeze?
quote: Seems there are patches all the time!
quote: There's absolutely nothing superior about this platform.
quote: I challenge you to find a large group of people using it in mission critical applications.
quote: Banks and ATMs, vending machines, science labs, the military, factories and production facilities, inventory systems all use windows. (and linux as well as someone will no doubt point out). The list is vast. Are these people stupid?
quote: Temps in the 50s will definitely shorten the life of your drive, you can count on it.
quote: That's a good one! It's a perfect example of an apple fanboy. If I haven't heard about it, it's nonsense!
quote: Your definition of less maintenance is time to apply patches?! Do you do any actual work?

It's back-to-school time, which means that students all over the country are enduring the mispronunciation of their last names while teachers try their best to get acclimated.
But with a surname like Keihanaikukauakahihuliheekahaunaele, mispronunciation and misspellings are just the beginning.
Janice "Lokelani" Keihanaikukauakahihuliheekahaunaele, a Hawaiian resident, must carry two IDs since her driver's license can't accommodate her full name. Her license drops the 35th letter of her surname, so she also carries a state ID.
Keihanaikukauakahihuliheekahaunaele says the driver's license, which does not include her first or middle name, has caused her travel problems, including being questioned by police at a traffic stop.
"[The policeman] looked at it and he goes, 'Well, where is your first name?' And I said, 'Don't blame me. This is your department, this is the county.' " Keihanaikukauakahihuliheekahaunaele explained to KHON News.
The county has requested that Keihanaikukauakahihuliheekahaunaele use her maiden name or shorten her name. But the name honors the memory of Keihanaikukauakahihuliheekahaunaele's late husband, a native Hawaiian.
"How disrespectful of the Hawaiian people," Keihanaikukauakahihuliheekahaunaele said.
The Department of Transportation is now working to extend the limit to 40 characters, which will accommodate Keihanaikukauakahihuliheekahaunaele, KHON reports.
"I really, really appreciate any attention to this issue because it's not only for me, it's also for those who come after me who also are going to be dealing with this in the future," Keihanaikukauakahihuliheekahaunaele said.

The following editorial appears in the Sept. 19, 2006, Tomahawk Leader:
The city is practically spotless.
Entering Tomahawk Monday morning one would never know that just 24 hours earlier, tens of thousands of bikers were in town for the Tomahawk Fall Ride for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA).
Accommodating that many people into a city of less than 4,000 takes a lot of planning, efforts and commitment on the part of the people who work the Tomahawk Fall Ride. From citizens, MDA, the city of Tomahawk, Harley-Davidson Tomahawk Operations, Tomahawk Regional Chamber of Commerce and Downtown Business Council to law enforcement and small businesses, everyone comes together to make this event work. Most of these people are volunteers, dedicating their time not just for a successfully-run event, but for a good cause – families dealing with MDA.
It takes a lot of hands to put up barricades, safety measures, trash receptacles, booths and electricity to keep the ride up and running safely. And with a huge influx of visitors utilizing the city streets and parks during the event, clean-up afterwards takes just as many hands.
We are impressed with the nearly spotless city streets, sidewalks and parks. Tomahawk's volunteers and hard workers deserve a hearty round of applause for their tireless efforts, support and work in putting on the largest motorcycle rally in northern Wisconsin.

Freiburger Vacherin AOP takes a leading position amongst cheese specialities on account of its fine, melting, extremely sophisticated and pleasant smelling dough. The cheesemakers in the canton of Freiburg are known for their great ability and passion for their profession. First, they treat the cow's milk that is delivered to them each day in their village dairies - a high-quality, rich, fragrant raw material. The cheese is then made according to a traditional, unique original recipe. Freiburger Vacherin AOP is aged and treated very carefully, which makes it an excellent cheese to eat on its own. This first class product will add an original touch to your cheeseboard. As a basic ingredient, it gives the "half and half fondue" (half Gruyère AOP and half Freiburger Vacherin AOP) a thick creamy texture and pleasant taste.

Teresa Hobbs speaks about her interest in the office of Mifflin County treasurer.
Civitts said her experience working under two different treasurers has prepared her to take over as the new treasurer.
"The election is about you and your tax dollars," Civitts said.
Hobbs said she is confident in her ability to serve as treasurer and she would keep the current staff at the treasurer's office if elected.
Hobbs said she is driven to ensure proper checks and balances in the treasurer's office and to provide taxpayers with timely assistance.
Also speaking at the event was Barbara Stringer, the Republican incumbent register and recorder who said she was the first woman elected for this position in the county. She was first elected in 1997 and took office in 1998.

Mothers Against Drunk Driving South Carolina has announced the availability of a specialty license plate through the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles.
MADD recently talked about how the plates support MADDs mission to eliminate drunk driving, support the victims of this violent crime, and prevent underage drinking. South Carolinians can get a MADD license plate online or at their local DMV offices. The price is of the plate is $20 for two years, in addition to the regular motor vehicle registration fee. About $10 from each plate sold goes to support MADD SCs work.
Each day, MADD serves victims of DUI crashes, educates parents about how to talk with their teens about alcohol, advocates for stiffer DUI laws and penalties, and provides general awareness information to the publicall at no charge, said MADD SC Advisory Board Chair Terecia Wilson. The income generated from these special license plates helps support all those services.
South Carolina has the third highest rate in the nation for traffic deaths which are DUI related, said SCDMV Executive Director Kevin Shwedo. MADD, along with state law enforcement and safety partners, are working hard to change that, and were proud to help them introduce this new license plate.
Customers may apply for the plate online at www.scdmvonline.com. Form MV-95 applications are also accepted by mail or in an SCDMV office.

At my house, this p'corn is a goner the minute it's in the bowl. In fact, I'm working on making it available to all y'all. Stay tuned.
Prep time: 25 minutes
Total time: 1 hour
Yield: serves 12
1 1/4 cups popcorn kernels
1 teaspoon canola oil
1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
3/4 cup sweet potato puree
1/4 cup flaxseed meal
1/4 teaspoon salt
Nonstick cooking spray
Game Plan:
In a large pot over medium-high heat, combine the popcorn and canola oil. Cover and let cook, shaking the pot occasionally, until you hear the popcorn begin to pop, approximately 1 to 2 minutes. Once the popcorn begins to pop, shake the pot continuously until the popping slows down to once every few seconds. Turn off the heat and leave the pot covered until all the popping has stopped. Transfer the popcorn to a large bowl.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the brown sugar and honey. Over medium heat, bring to a boil and cook 2 to 3 minutes, taking care not to burn the sugar mixture. Whisk in the sweet potato puree, flaxseed meal, and salt.
Pour the mixture over the popcorn and toss to evenly coat the kernels. Spread the mixture onto two large rimmed baking sheets sprayed with cooking spray.
Bake for 20 to 30 minutes. Stir occasionally at the beginning and more frequently as the mixture begins to dry out. The mixture will be soggy at first but after it cools, it will be crisp and delicious! Store in a zipper-lock plastic bag.

This one pot wonder is so easy and good, you will shock everyone with your success.
Prep time: 15 minutes
Total time: 35 minutes
Serves: 4
1 yellow onion
2 tablespoons e.v. olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups pearled farro
1/2 cup dry white wine
3 cups water
1 small bunch broccoli
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Game Plan:
Chop the onion. Place your large skillet on the stove and turn on the heat to medium-high. Measure and pour in the oil and heat until it shimmers. Add the onion and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and cook, stirring often, until the onion begins to soften, 5 to 6 minutes.
Measure your farro and wine. When your onions are nice and soft, add the farro and stir. Then add the wine and stir until the wine has cooked off, about 1 minute. Add the water and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to low and simmer (low boil) until the farro is just tender, 20 to 23 minutes.
Meanwhile, cut the stem off of the broccoli and discard. Chop the broccoli flower into small pieces. You should get about 3 cups.
When the farro is tender, stir in the broccoli and increase the heat to bring to a boil. Cover, then lower the heat to medium-low and simmer (low boil) until the broccoli is just tender, 3 to 4 minutes.
Stir in the Parmesan, pepper (12 turns on pepper mill) and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. The consistency should be nice and creamy not soupy. Serve sprinkled with extra Parmesan.

Have you ever found yourself in the odd situation of only having cauliflower in your refrigerator come dinner time? Well, that is exactly how this recipe came about.
Prep time: 15 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes
Serves: 4
1 head cauliflower
2 cloves garlic
3 tablespoons e.v. olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 box (1 pound) spaghetti
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
Game Plan:
Heat the oven (with oven rack in the middle) to 425°F. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
Cut the cauliflower into bite-size florets; discard the stem. Place in a colander and pass under cold running water to wash. Transfer to a rimmed sheet pan.
Chop the garlic and add to the pan. Drizzle everything with the oil and sprinkle with the salt and pepper (about 12 turns on pepper mill). Toss together with your hands and spread into a single layer.
Roast for 15 minutes, pull the pan out of the oven and turn the cauliflower with a spatula. Return to the oven to finish cooking until golden brown and tender, 10 to 15 minutes more.
Is the water boiling yet? Add the pasta and cook according to the package directions.
Meanwhile, chop the parsley and grate the cheese (if not already pre-grated).
Once the pasta is al dente, use a liquid measuring cup to scoop out 3/4 cup of the pasta water from the pot and set aside. Then, drain the pasta and the rest of the water into the colander. Return the pasta to the pot along reserved pasta water. Turn the heat on to low. Sprinkle in the Parmesan and stir until it melts and coats the pasta. Remove from the heat and stir in the roasted cauliflower, chopped parsley, and red pepper. Taste to see if it needs more salt before serving.
Tools needed: large pot, cutting board, chef's knife, colander, rimmed sheet pan, measuring spoons, metal spatula, grater (if using)

Judge Jaymie Godwin Wilfong accepted two plea agreements in Randolph County Circuit Court Friday morning, including one involving an Elkins man who admitted to selling cocaine in 2010.
Robert Lee Scott, 32, pleaded guilty to one felony count of delivery of a controlled substance, cocaine, and one felony count of conspiracy., In exchange, Randolph County Prosecuting Attorney Michael Parker agreed to dismiss the remaining charges pending against Scott.
Scott was previously indicted on four felony counts of delivery of a controlled substance and three felony counts of conspiracy.
Scott's codefendant, Valerie McIntyre, tendered a plea agreement to the court Wednesday in which she testified that Scott - her boyfriend at the time - sold cocaine to a confidential informant on Feb. 22, 2010. Scott had initially been planning to go to trial to contest the charges, but he no longer felt that a jury would find him not guilty due to McIntyre's testimony, officials said.
When Wilfong gave Scott the opportunity to reconsider his guilty plea, he asked for a moment to consult with his attorney, James Hawkins. Hawkins and Scott stepped out into the hall, but returned a few moments later.
"I'm going to take the plea," Scott said.
"Even though you know that if you go to trial, you might be found not guilty?" Wilfong asked.
"That ain't gonna happen," Scott replied.
Wilfong asked Scott what he did that made him guilty.
"I was offered (the chance to sell cocaine), and I took it to make a little bit of money," Scott answered. "I wasn't working."
Scott said he'd sold "a couple grams" of cocaine for approximately $300 on Feb. 22, 2010, and April 21, 2010.
The penalty for delivery of a Schedule 2 controlled substance is one to five years in the state penitentiary, a fine of $25,000 or both; the penalty for felony conspiracy is one to five years in the state penitentiary, a fine of $10,000 or both.
Sentencing is set for 9 a.m. Feb. 8.
Also on Friday:
Harris' attorney, Hawkins, insisted that Parker lay a factual foundation for the misdemeanor charge after Harris tendered his guilty plea to the court. Parker said that based on an investigation conducted by Trooper M.J. Wilson with the Elkins detachment of the West Virginia State Police, Harris had used the name, date of birth and Social Security number of Rocky Tingler "to open an account with Mountaineer Gas Company to obtain services through Mountaineer Gas Company" without Tingler's consent.
Wilfong accepted Harris' guilty plea, but denied Hawkins' motion to modify bond, citing Harris' prior failure to appear in court and a probation violation.
Wilfong recused herself from the case due to a conflict of interest.
Shreve, who is named in three separate indictments, had been assigned three separate bonds - one for $25,000 cash, property or surety; a second for $50,000 cash property or surety; and a third for $100,000 cash only.
Hawkins, his attorney, called the $100,000 "excessive, oppressive and in effect a denial of bail." Hawkins suggested that one bond of $75,000 cash, property or surety would be an appropriate adjustment, and Perry concurred, calling the $100,000 cash-only bond "rather excessive." Perry made home confinement and daily check-ins conditions should Shreve make bond.
In November, Shreve was indicted on three felony counts of breaking and entering; one felony count of conspiracy to commit breaking and entering; three felony counts of grand larceny; two felony counts of conspiracy to commit grand larceny; three felony counts of possession of a stole vehicle; two felony counts of conspiracy to commit possession of a stolen vehicle; and one felony count of burglary.
Shreve was also charged with four counts of petit larceny, a misdemeanor; one count of breaking and entering of a motor car, a misdemeanor; two counts of destruction of property, a misdemeanor; and one count of attempted petit larceny, a misdemeanor.

We're still recovering from two weekends in a row of wilding out in the desert of Palm Springs—gotta admit it's really hard to get back to work right now. Even though our Coachella timelines were mainly full of shaky cellphone vids of the Daft Punk album ad, it didn't escape us that Wu-Tang clan main man RZA joined James Blake—the London producer who is chill dance music's man-of-the-moment—on stage on Sunday, April 21 to perform a special version of Blake's "Take a Fall For Me," a song that Blake has said reminded him of Wu-Tang when he made it. RZA even pulled a lucky babe out of the crowd to rap to amidst the fog and Blake's romantic future bass sounds.
We checked online and RZA's lyrics are both romantic and leftfield spiritual, with lines about the the elohim and poltergeists mixed with British words and him offering "Candlelight dinners of fish and chips with vinegar." Melding highbrow and street style in true Wu-Tang fashion!
RZA has long been one of the most open-minded dudes in hip-hop—he's a true Renaissance man, whether collaborating with director Jim Jarmusch or hard rockers System of a Down or writing his own books and movies. Back in December 2012, he collaborated with Scion and artist David Choe to create a limited-edition art print (sold in an edition of 13). We sold these at our Gift Show at the Scion AV Installation space (along with products from Blek Le Rat, French, and way more), and the proceeds benefitting Hurricane Sandy relief efforts in New York City. Alongside the Abbott of Wu-Tang Clan, the Gift Show was also attended by Russ Karablin from SSUR, Willie Toledo, photographers Angela Boatwright and Estaval Oriol and many more movers and shakers from LA and beyond.

Genre of fiction dealing primarily with the romantic and social lives of high-powered career women, usually set in New York City. Originated with Candace Bushnell's novel, "Sex and the City," which was soon followed by the Shopaholic series as well as numerous other imitations. The genre is more commonly and politely referred to as chick lit.
"Ever since she got 'Shopaholic' for her birthday, my mom's been obsessed with cliterature. It's so creepy."

ALBANY – Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo took a hard left turn Wednesday in his annual State of the State address – one reminiscent of those his liberal father regaled New York with for 12 years – calling for sharp restrictions on guns, a larger hike in the minimum wage than even Assembly Democrats had sought, and relaxation of marijuana-possession laws.
He also voiced support for equal-pay provisions for women and expensive new housing programs for low-income residents.
Cuomo, starting his third year in office, again focused on job-creation efforts, with pitches that include new tax breaks for startup companies and money for high-technology clusters, but saved many of his rhetorical flourishes for what he called his "progressive"' agenda for the 2013 legislative session.
"End the madness now," he shouted in pushing for new bans on assault weapons and confiscation of guns from people deemed by mental health professionals to be a threat.
"It's not a man's world in New York," Cuomo said in promoting a 10-point "equality for women" agenda that includes broader abortion-access protections and a pay-equity statute for women in the workforce.
Reactions to the speech told the story of a shifting governor, who has alienated many liberal groups for two years but now, with a re-election campaign looming next year and his eyes on a possible White House run in 2016, is leaning leftward.
"Clearly, it was not only a speech about New York. It was a speech way past New York heading to Washington. And he circled back to his liberal roots, went home to meet his dad," Michael R. Long, the state Conservative Party chairman, said of the governor and his father, former Gov. Mario M. Cuomo.
"He certainly has moved to the progressive left," added Sen. Dean G. Skelos, R-Rockville Centre, co-leader of the State Senate.
Then there was Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, D-Manhattan, who has seen Cuomo move from ignoring to now embracing many Assembly Democratic plans, including a hike in the minimum wage. "I thought it was a great speech, probably his best of the three that he's given," Silver said.
While the governor talked often of the need to help the deteriorating upstate job-creation situation – which he called "sad and troubling" – his proposals this year were not as bold as ones he pushed in his previous two State of the State addresses, such as last year's $1 billion for Buffalo job-creation efforts. This time, the plans were less expensive for the state, such as a $5 million annual ad campaign to boost upstate regions.
The governor said his plans for high-tech clusters, and cuts in unemployment and workers' compensation costs for businesses, will especially benefit upstate.
His upstate focus this year includes new agricultural marketing efforts – an initial one will center on beer, wine and yogurt industries – and duty-free stores across New York to promote agriculture products grown and made in the state.
The governor also is banking on casino development to help upstate. Lawmakers are poised again this year to consider second passage of a constitutional amendment – which would then go to voters this fall – permitting up to seven new Las Vegas-style casinos in New York.
Wednesday, Cuomo proposed a "first phase" that would limit the first three casinos to upstate. He did not say where they could go, but the proposal clearly protects two major track-based casinos in Queens and Westchester County.
"I believe casinos in upstate New York could be a great magnet to bring the New York City traffic up," Cuomo said as he defended the controversial effort to dramatically expand gambling in New York. The state, he said, is already home to more than a dozen racetrack-based and Native American casinos, as well as 39 gambling facilities in border states and provinces.
Trying to get support for the plan, Cuomo proposed that 90 percent of casino proceeds – whether from an upfront franchise fee or through revenue-sharing money from slot machines – go to help fund state aid for public schools. The remaining 10 percent would go to property tax relief, though no details were offered.
Cuomo administration officials say the governor's more liberal agenda is nothing that he didn't promote during his 2010 campaign; now, they say, there is a greater opportunity for passage in a Senate that is run by a coalition of Republicans and several breakaway Democrats.
The nearly two-hour, highly choreographed event, with an accompanying 312-page booklet, was not all about liberal politics. The governor pushed new job-creation efforts, targeted tax breaks for certain kinds of companies and a $1.3 billion cut in unemployment and workers' compensation costs for businesses – though he did not say how he would pay for them.
While the invited guests that filled a chilly Empire State Plaza Convention Center were mostly Cuomo allies, the hallways were filled with hundreds of protesters who came to Albany to demonstrate against his possible embrace of hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," of natural gas. The governor has signaled some interest in the controversial drilling practice.
The governor's proposals include:
• Longer school years or school days to improve educational performance of students, though it is uncertain how much that will cost the state in what Cuomo said would be a voluntary program.
• New ways of funding community colleges to encourage better cooperation between schools and employers to help with job creation.
• A hike in the minimum wage from $7.25 per hour to $8.75 per hour.
• A new competition for 10 higher education/private sector high-tech incubation clusters, backed by tax-free incentives.
Other proposals include a dramatic increase in the number of electric car-charging facilities and a new upstate marketing effort. Cuomo also wants to create a $1 billion housing program and require public disclosure of all campaign contributions of more than $500 within a 48-hour period, instead of what is now as long as six months before those donations are revealed by campaigns. He also wants to permit New York to have early voting periods instead of a single Election Day.
The governor's speech put a heavy emphasis on rebuilding efforts following Superstorm Sandy, and he is proposing a new "civilian emergency response corps" to help with future natural disasters across the state.
Exactly how Cuomo will pay for all the funding he is proposing – from a $1 billion "green bank" to help push the growth of environmentally "clean" companies to $50 million for a venture capital fund to help startups – is uncertain. It won't be revealed until he proposes his 2013 budget in two weeks. The state already faces at least a $1 billion deficit in the coming fiscal year that starts April 1.
The speech recognized some of the fiscal realities the state faces. His plan to extend the school year or school day, which could carry enormous costs in teacher and administrative salaries, is limited; he wants a competitive grant program for only those school districts that extend the amount of learning time in a year by 25 percent.
Building on a teacher-evaluation system that is being phased in this year across New York, Cuomo also proposed a "bar exam" type of test for all new teachers seeking to work in the state's public schools. He also would give $15,000 stipends to top teachers selected to instruct other teachers on classroom performance. He also proposed full-day prekindergarten classes in the state's poorest districts – another expensive but popular idea among Democrats in the Assembly.
If there were any doubts that Cuomo's third year in office will represent a shift to the political left, the governor ended them in his speech. Besides relaxing marijuana-possession laws, Cuomo proposed a number of what he called "progressive'' plans, including mandatory recording of all criminal interrogations and the building of more than 14,000 housing units for low-income people.
On gun control, an idea pushed for years by Assembly Democrats but Cuomo began pressing after the mass shooting that killed 20 first-graders and six educators at a Connecticut school, the governor would eliminate large-capacity magazines in guns as a way to ban assault weapons, and to require background checks for gun sales between private parties and not just through gun shop or gun show sales.
He also wants longer prison sentences for crimes committed with guns or for incidents involving guns on school grounds. And he would require guns to be confiscated from individuals deemed by mental health professionals to be a danger to themselves or to others.
"No one hunts with an assault rifle," said Cuomo, who owns a Remington shotgun.
The governor called his ideas "the most ambitious" agenda since he took office in 2011. Some ideas were new, some borrowed, and some renamed, such as providing certain tax breaks for "hot spot" areas of the state that was tried with the Empire Zone program. Besides the left-leaning rhetoric and proposals, it was reminiscent of his father's annual speeches between 1983 and 1994 that were famous for their "kitchen sink" list of sometimes hundreds of proposals – making it difficult to discern the top priorities.
But the governor said the highly stacked list of ideas comes at a time when the state is trying to deal with many challenges – from a hurting upstate economy to the impact of Sandy.
"It's more of a function of the needs of the time," Cuomo said, adding, "We have daunting challenges."

The location of the apartment is ok, it is within 30 min walks to the important places and it feels safe. Supermarket is close by. In the evening it is a bit noisy. The kitchen has no ventilation and very hot in the Summer.
The apartment has no ac and in the Summer ac is a must for this apartment.
What we missed beside the ac was a place to put the kitchen towel in the kitchen and a holder for the toiletpaper
Perfect location, city center (for us) in walking distance. Well connected by public transport. Clean and very efficient appartement, bedroom looks at quiet court yard. Absolutely to recommend for younger couples / families (staircases up to second floor).
Great flat.
Beautiful flat In the very heart of Warsaw, it's difficult to find parking places around this place and if you find one during the week its necessary to pay for it (Parking-meter 08:00 -18:00), Saturday and Sunday for free.
Also beware of a 100Euro (400PLN) CASH caution that is not mentioned on Wimdu.
-Center of the city.
-Old Building.
-If neighbors have party you will hear them.
-No lift nor access to wheel chairs.
Nice clean apartment, friendly helpful staff – warmly recommended!
We had wonderful days in this beautiful apartment in Podwale Street in the heart of Warsaw!
The apartment is cozy, very comfortable and is in a beautiful backyard. We can only recommend it!

Spent last summer almost a week in this apartment. Really nice apartment. modern and luxurious. Situated in the southern part of Warsaw near a forest so really quiet. Mind only the private hospital on the otherside of the street so sometimes at night a ambulance would pass by. The appliances all good, comfortable beds and sofa, a balcony you can play volleyball on (sooooo big) and above all: everything was clean and neat.
All necessary shops are really next door. Connection to the city centre via bus and metro. We travelled to the old city, from door to the metrostation ("ratusz") it took us 20 mins, so it was approx 3 times faster than by car.
There's a parking lot in the private underground garage. Mind that tall cars could have a problem when carrying a roof box due to the low ceiling in this garage. Like we did :)
Service by P&O was simply great, and if there was anything (in our case a bathroomcloset door was not great) just a simple phonecall and they were very helpfull.
Next time we need an apartment we probably willl end up again in this one.
