To most Detroiters th eface of Charles Pugh is easily identifiable. He worked for ten years as a broadcast journalist for Channel 2 News and traversed, perhaps, every community in Detroit as he reported breaking news to the residents of Southeast Michigan. Yet Pugh's early life was just as painful and devastating as many of the stories he related through the lens of a television camera.
In 1974 when he was three years old, his mother was viciously stabbed to death by her drug dealing boyfriend who feared she would turn on him. And a few a years later his father, the victim of a fatal combination of alcoholism and depression, committed suicide with a handgun with young Charles the only other person in the residence.
Pugh believes that his experiences with heartbreak and tragedy connect him to those Detroiters who have also endured travesty, pain and misfortune.
And he sees the problem of violence in Detroit as a phenomenon that is fed by apathy and neglect, especially toward the young.
"Positive active school activities are more vital than we know," said Pugh. "And we don't have recreation center coverage for the whole city, and there are several smart people around this city who have devised a way to open selective schools until 8 p.m.
You would have parts of the building open — the gym, the computer lab, the library — and you'd have a small staff to supervise the young people. We need to be committed to this because lack of activities for young people contributes to a lot of crime and violence."
Pugh believes that gang violence can be resolved if we engage gang members in creative ways to find out why they are shooting each other and work to find positive, cultural paradigms to vent their energies and to expand their vision. And far from viewing his lack of political experience as a liability, he believes it is in many ways advantageous.
"The fact that I'm not a politician is a positive," he said. "The fact that I don't have experience in making a deficit, that's a positive. So I'm ready and I'm going to be on the grind to make my case."

quote: I cannot say with 100% certainty that God exists. But I can say that prayer works and the principles in the Bible are accurate based on my experience.
quote: How can one say "I accept the fact that what I know about the fundamentals of the universe could be wrong." and "What you're saying is absolutely wrong, but I can't prove it." at the same time?
quote: Atheists, on the other hand, are fundamentally aware of the fact that their understanding of the universes is *not* absolutely correct, and is subject to revision at any time when new information is found via the scientific method. Atheism categorically does *not* say that "god can't exist." It says that there is no proof that a god or gods does exist.
quote: When you sit in a chair, do you first check to make sure it is sound? Unless you're neurotic (which is fine, mind you), you just sit down, strong in your faith that it will hold you.
quote: When you drive your car, you have faith that most of the people on the road around you know how to drive and are paying attention. If you didn't, you'd hardly be able to drive to work.
quote: Faith is real and you have it.
quote: Interestingly (or not), lack of faith in God is, by default, fanatic faith in oneself. Atheists have faith that their fundamental understanding of the universe is absolutely correct and that faith says that God can't exist.

Best blanket by far!
This blanket features the cutback style, reinforced leg/belly strap keepers, strong D-rings for hood attachment, softness, warmth, and quality. The blanket is also lightweight. I have other brands such as Big D, Weatherbeeta, and Schneiders, but this blankets price and quality beats those other brands. Will definitely buy more.
GREAT blanket!!! The open front buckles are super user friendly (especially if you add two spring snaps), the fit is superb and the quality is equal to blankets that cost twice as much! I will buying more - every horse in the barn will be wearing these blankets!
This is a really nice blanket. The fit is perfect, it's nice and snug. I expecially like the way the it closes in front and in the back. The workmanship is top notch.

AUGUSTA, Ga. – The Stetson Rowing team dominated the Head of the South Regatta on a frosty Saturday morning.
The entire team, led by assistant coach Jen Jones, demonstrated great determination, and finished the fall season by cleaning-up with six gold medals.
The Hatters dominated competitors from schools such as Clemson, Georgia, the College of Charleston, Virginia Tech, Liberty and other southern universities. Racing at the regatta lasted throughout the day.
Stetson took gold medals by captain Bill Brady and senior Gary Marra in the men's pair. That duo also raced again in the men's four with Mike Siegrist, senior Taylor Hetherington and coxswain Erin Lee.

Merritt Wever's Acceptance Speech: The Best of All-Time?
Merritt Wever barely uttered two sentences as she stepped onstage to collect her Emmy for outstanding supporting actress in a comedy, for her role as Zoey Barkow in Nurse Jackie – but her look of shock said it all.
"Thanks so much. Thank you so much," she said while fumbling with the card presenters Amy Poehler and Tina Fey had just pulled out of an envelope, apparently attempting to confirm her name was indeed there.
For a moment it looked as though Wever, 33, would give a traditional speech, but she apparently decided against it.
"I gotta go. Bye," she announced, and ran off as the audience – and the Twitterverse – roared in approval.
After a commercial break, host Neil Patrick Harris summed up her big moment: "Merritt Wever, best speech ever."
Later, it seemed Wever – who also has a recurring role on New Girl – still hadn't had much time to compose herself as she spoke to reporters just after her win.
"I want to thank a lot of people – it's happening again," she said, but managed to continue.
"I wanted to thank everyone at Showtime. I wanted to thank most of all Edie Falco," she said, before managing to tick off a few more names.
And what does she think about holding that coveted award in her hands?
"I don't know yet. I'm scared, honestly. I'm scared. I'm scared because it was unexpected."
Fortunately, she's got some time carved out soon to process it all.
"I don't know how to feel yet," she said. "I have therapy next week."

Cattaraugus County authorities confiscated about 23 pounds of marijuana from a drying room in Randolph over the weekend, as they charged a 60-year-old man with felony criminal possession of marijuana.
The Cattaraugus County sheriff's office, working with the U.S. Forest Service, also charged James P. Leach, with unlicensed growing of cannabis, according to police reports.
The discovery of the marijuana was made Saturday evening after a search warrant was obtained for Leach's home on Hotchkiss Road, sheriff's officials said.

James Lee DiMaggio, 40, may have had an "unusual infatuation" with the missing girl, Hannah Anderson, said San Diego County Sheriff's Capt. Duncan Fraser.
"That is kind of a working theory, that it may be something of a motivator," Fraser said Thursday.
On Sunday night, authorities found the body of Hannah's mother – 44-year-old Christina Anderson – when they extinguished flames at DiMaggio's rural home. A child's body also was discovered as they sifted through rubble in Boulevard, a tiny town 65 miles east of San Diego.
The body may be that of Hannah's 8-year-old brother, Ethan. Fraser said it could take several days to identify the badly burned remains. Investigators were unable to extract DNA.
Manhunt Covers Western States and MexicoEvidence found in the rubble suggested DiMaggio may have fled with homemade explosives, Fraser said, declining to elaborate on what was discovered. The car may be booby-trapped, he said.
"In the event that someone comes across the car, they need to use caution," Fraser said.
DiMaggio is wanted on suspicion of murder and arson in a search that began in California and spread to Oregon, Washington, Nevada, British Columbia and Mexico's Baja California state. An additional eight FBI agents were assigned to a command post at San Diego sheriff's headquarters, as state and local law enforcement agencies were on alert.
Oregon State Police fielded more than 130 tips after authorities issued an Amber Alert for DiMaggio and his blue Nissan Versa with California license plates. A possible sighting was reported in northeast California near Alturas Wednesday afternoon, followed by another about 50 miles along the same highway near Lakeview, in south-central Oregon.
Messages seeking DiMaggio and the Anderson children appeared on digital billboards and freeway signs, said Bob Hoever, director of special programs for the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. Loud tones beeped on mobile phones in the four western states where Amber Alerts were issued.
In Mexico, airports, bus and taxi companies and law enforcement agencies were on the lookout, said Alfredo Arenas, international liaison for the Baja California state police.
DiMaggio, a telecommunications technician at The Scripps Research Institute in San Diego, was like an uncle to Hannah and Ethan Anderson. He was close to their parents for years. Brett Anderson, the children's father and Christina's husband, recently moved to Tennessee.

Would you share with your neighbors? | Opensource.com
Would you share with your neighbors?
We should have all learned that sharing is a good thing at a very early age. I teach my 4-year old son to share. But what about sharing with your friends and neighbors? That's part of being a community, right?
Would you share a
lawn mower, blender, tools, etc with a neighbor? NeighborGoods (tagline: Save money and resources by sharing stuff with your friends) thinks you will. What do you think about this sharing service?

It would never work, because people are inheriently greedy and selfish.
Sure it will work, whatever you say
Honestly, I think, for the most part, it will. But the handful of jerks will ruin it for everyone else.
Silly form swallowed my pseudo-html:
It would never work, because people are inheriently greedy and selfish.</pretending>
Sure it will work, whatever you say</pretending>
Honestly, I think, for the most part, it will. But the handful of jerks will ruin it for everyone else.
yes it works, at least down here in rural part of New zealand
that makes us 'self-beneficial' focus => selfish
becoz everyone would like a higher position
thus, they have to keep themselves 'single-out' in the crowd
that makes people never share
share strength OR bear weakness
that's 'share'
How can this even be a topic on OS.com? We all use a
Linux distro or some variant of Linux. That distro was done
by people, some huge communities of people sharing
time and talent. Where would I be if many many people
had not shared their knowledge of Linux to help me?
Look at the Amish farmers, lots of sharing going on.
Labor and tools are shared along with farm implements.
How about the whole MAKER movement? Maker Sheds
are popping up all over the country. Shared investment
for shared use. Share.
But what about the Hippies? We shared, we still share.
We had bike shops that loaned tools and space (some
still exist). We shared food and the fuel to cook it.
We shared transportation. We shared talent. Ideas.
We lived more open lives, we allowed others to join
in our endeavors, for our good and theirs. Being an
nomadic type of family we often find ourselves in a new
community or neighborhood. I go around and say hey
to all the neighbors and let them know about my weird
collection of tools, and that I lend them as needed.
Often I end up sharing my time also. Share
What about OS.com? Unless the Colonel is the only
one not getting paid here, and I really doubt that, this
is a huge share. Share.
Yes it would work, in smaller communities.
As one person mentioned, some jerk will come and mess it up. They're out there online (heck, I could be one ;) ).
On a smaller scale, though, there is the more personal interaction with people, and is a lot harder to remain anonymous. This would help reduce (not remove, but reduce) the ease of somebody screwing it up for everybody because their real-life reputation can be at stake.

Picking only four South Carolina players for a football Mount Rushmore requires sorting through different eras, different conferences and a long stretch of no conference affiliation at all.
We can all agree on Heisman Trophy winner George Rogers.
Then what?
Sterling Sharpe didn't have to play against Southeastern Conference defenses.
But Warren Muir didn't get to play in a Steve Spurrier-coached offense.
Remember, it's harder to pile up sacks playing from behind than it is while playing on a bowl-bound SEC East title contender.
So many good players, no room to take granite for granted.
Final four
(chronological order)
George Rogers (1977-80). Won the Heisman in 1980. The Gamecocks' only College Football Hall of Fame player. Rogers, USC's career rushing leader, led the nation with 1,894 yards as a senior.
Sterling Sharpe (1983-87). Isn't the school career leader in any major statistical category but his No. 2 jersey is retired for good reason: relative dominance. Sharpe led the Gamecocks in receiving three times, punt returns twice and kickoff returns once.
Marcus Lattimore (2010-2012). Played in only 29 games, but head coach Steve Spurrier and others laud Lattimore as the star leader of the Gamecocks' current three-year run that includes 31 wins. First in career touchdowns and rushing touchdowns despite all the injuries. Sixth on the career rushing list.
Jadeveon Clowney (2011-present). Yes, already. Critics will point out he has played two seasons and not always consistently. Clowney wasn't even the SEC Defensive Player of the Year in 2012 (Jarvis Jones of Georgia). But with a school-record 13 sacks and big-play drama, he finished sixth in the Heisman Trophy voting — better than any Gamecock except Rogers. Oh, and ask Michigan.
Near miss
Eric Norwood (2006-2009). Start with three first-team All-SEC seasons. Then consider Norwood as a linebacker led or tied for the team lead in sacks each of his four years. A first-team All-American in 2009. USC's career sacks (29) and tackles for loss (54.5) leader.
Brandon Bennett (1991-94). Only George Rogers has more career rushing yards than Bennett (3,055). A school-record 278 yards vs. East Tennessee State in 1991. Second to Rogers in career all-purpose yards.
Argument worthy
Everyone has favorites. There are too many to mention, but here are some of the most prominent:
• Harold Green (1986-89) led the Gamecocks in rushing three straight seasons on the way to a decade-long NFL career.
• Steve Taneyhill (1992-95) led the Gamecocks to their first bowl win (1995 Carquest Bowl). Career touchdown pass leader. Two wins over Clemson.
• Steve Wadiak (1948-51) remains fourth on the career rushing list and was a second-team All-American.
• Alshon Jeffery (2009-2011) is USC's leading career receiver by yards and second-leading receiver by touchdowns.
• Bobby Bryant (1964-66). The former Minnesota Vikings standout safety was a versatile football player and stellar baseball pitcher.
• Alex Hawkins (1956-58). Rugged running back was ACC Player of the Year in 1958 before an eight-year NFL career.
• Warren Muir (1967-69). Twice a first-team All-American. Productive running back (2,234 career yards). Led USC to the 1969 ACC title.
• Kenny McKinley (2005-2008). More career catches than any USC receiver. Led USC in punt returns twice.
• Del Wilkes (1980-84). A ferocious guard. Consensus All-American in 1984. Went on to become a professional wrestler.
• Todd Ellis (1986-89). Gamecocks radio play-by-play voice leads USC in career passing yards (9,953) and quarterback wins (24).
• Fred Zeigler (1967-69) was a prolific pass catcher before quick-strike offenses hit college football. He departed as USC's career receiving leader (146 catches), was All-ACC twice and in his last game caught 10 passes in a 27-13 victory over Clemson.
• Billy Gambrel (1960-62). The 1962 ACC Player of the Year, one of only two Gamecocks to win the award (Alex Hawkins).
• Dick Harris (1969-71). First-team All-American. A defensive back and kick/punt returner who scored six touchdowns. Had a 96-yard kickoff return and 94-yard interception return for TDs in a 52-34 loss at Georgia. All-ACC in 1970.
• Kalimba Edwards (1998-2001). Linebacker was All-SEC twice. First-team All-American in 2001.

LinkedIn now lets companies target their status updates by a variety of factors. One of the tactics I mentioned in a post about B2B companies generating leads on LinkedIn was to use status updates to share content with your LinkedIn followers. If you have various lines of business, you can now focus those updates to the right people. If you have content created for certain industries, functions or seniority, LinkedIn updates can be directed to those who are in those segments. And remember, only company page admins can post company status updates.
The first thing to note is that if you want to start segmenting your updates, you need to grow your LinkedIn followers. Some easy ways are to cross-promote on your other social channels, add a follow company button on your website or blog, and you can even write a blog post that you are segmenting LinkedIn status updates for improved relevancy.
When posting a status update, the default is to send it to all followers. Click the drop down to change to targeted audience, which brings up the targeted window seen below.
Company Size
In the targeted window, notice you can remove employees from your company updates in the lower right (indicated by the red arrow). While there may be good reasons to do this, sharing updates with your employees give them content to share with their own networks on LinkedIn.
Each of the five segmenting characteristics has their own tab to make your choices. As you click your selections, LinkedIn will show you how many followers this update will go to. As you work your way through the segments, this number will go down, but it will be more relevant to the people who see it.
Do you have a message for a particular industry? Are your salespeople aligned by verticals? Use these targeted industry selections to support their work in the verticals. Create a vertically focused ebook and share it this way. This can help you better understand your vertical audiences on LinkedIn.
Do different functions in an organization use your product or service differently? Do they have a different evaluation process for purchase? Can you clearly communicate that message? If so, you can talk to them differently now on LinkedIn too.
We have different conversations with managers, directors, VP and C-suite executives. Do you know where they are in your decision process? Do you know what ideas, benefits, metrics have convinced them of your value. What does an ebook for a CMO look like? Share it on LinkedIn with just those C-levels.
This segmentation can can very granular, down to the metro region within states. Unless you have a local product or service, be careful about targeting this one too tightly. You are probably better off staying broader with regions like North America or Europe, or even countries.
Does this kind of targeting and segmentation make sense for your B2B company on LinkedIn?

Kobe Bryant was announced as the new ambassador of Swiss luxury watch brand, Hublot, at the London Hotel in West Hollywood Wednesday night, where the Lakers star's limited edition "King Power Black Mamba" timepiece was unveiled.
Still recovering from his ankle injury, the basketball champ kept score in a charity shoot-off with two children from After-School All Stars Los Angeles and raised $30,000 for the Bryant Family Foundation.
"When the little girl kept missing shots, Kobe lifted her up towards the basket so she could shoot the ball in," an onlooker tells PEOPLE. "He was super sweet with the kids, and kept giving them high fives and hugs."
Bryant was joined by wife Vanessa – who wore a patterned maxi dress – at the fete, where she spent time chatting with the kids after the shoot-off.
Later in the evening, the couple held court at a star-studded dinner on the rooftop of the hotel. Nibbling on bread, Zac Efron was engrossed in conversation with the Bryants, while Jimmy Kimmel (with fiancé Molly McNearney), Garcelle Beauvais and Brad Goreski noshed on a chilled lobster salad and bone marrow and herb-crusted kobe filet.
"Kobe and Vanessa were very relaxed and comfortable together," the source adds. "They fielded well-wishers and fans with huge smiles."

Years ago, before this gig started to make me think about it critically, I would write off modern country artists out-of-hand. They had strayed too far from the form's roots in folk and blues, and thought making references to trucks and tall cold ones was the same thing as telling stories. They were doing to Johnny Cash what Whitesnake did to Led Zeppelin, and I wasn't going to give them a second of my time.
It was easier to think that way. Now that I've been exposed to the likes of Paisley, Lambert and Keith, I know that underneath that Nashville sheen lays the kind of clever, conceptual songwriting you rarely get from rock 'n' roll these days.
So when I heard the opening two songs of Gretchen Wilson's set on Saturday night in the Events Center of Seneca Niagara Casino – a pair of glossy hard-rock party anthems that would fit snugly on any Poison album – I didn't have the luxury of my former ignorance.
I'm not going to sit here and call her Bob Dylan or anything, but I'm happy I looked beyond those Aquanet guitars and gave Wilson's actual songs a chance. The artist best known for her ubiquitous 2004 smash "Redneck Woman" isn't immune to cliches – she "works hard but plays harder," name drops Skynyrd and romanticizes booze – but her show was also sprinkled with some winning lines that elevated the songs around them. In the middle of the otherwise run-of-the-mill woman scorned cut "Homewrecker," for instance, Wilson broke off this couplet: "Now honey, I'm a Christian, but if you keep it up/I'm gonna go to kickin' your pretty little butt." Something about that phrasing – the condescending "honey," the idea that the narrator's only been holding back for religious reasons – elicits the visual of a woman who can ruin your world while blowing on her nails.
One of several new songs, from a record set to come out on April 2, started off as a plucky little tune about a 92-year-old grandma. What Wilson did with it from that point on was charming, and bold, and irresistible, a story of a woman who was sick of saying no to life's pleasures and tries a substance that would make Willie Nelson proud – "making the most of every breath" before she passes on.
This was the moment that showed Wilson is indeed part of the country tradition, the moment that balanced out the "Rock You Like A Hurricane" segue and the arena-rock song titled "I Got Your Country Right Here." (Maybe this song is actually about the concept of a multiverse, arguing that an alternate dimension could exist in which "I Got Your Country Right Here" actually sounds like a country song. Or maybe I'm over-thinking that one.)
Toward the end of the 75-minute show, Wilson's solid five-piece band was slaying all kinds of classic rock riffs, and she was nailing high notes with authority, her voice imbued with the kind of bluesy grit that makes you wish she'd aim more for Janis Joplin and less for Bret Michaels. By the time they reached the finale, a torrid take on Zeppelin's "Rock and Roll," these musicians were giving us their loudest, most unfiltered, greatest performance of the night.
To which the crowd said, "Meh." They'd just heard "Redneck Woman," so they headed for the exits in droves. That's Northern hospitality for you, I guess.

BURNHAM - The Rev. Bill Muldoon believes prayer has the power to change the world.
"All of our revivals have started out with prayer all churches, always birthed in prayer," he said. "...If we pray, God's gonna move."
Muldoon, in cooperation with church leaders throughout Mifflin and Juniata counties, is set to host The Global Day of Prayer service from 7-9 p.m. May 16 at the Juniata Valley YMCA in Burnham. He said the event is an opportunity for people to come together and pray for the well-being of local, state, national and international communities.
According to a brief history on the event's website, The Global Day of Prayer was born in July 2000 in South Africa. Christian businessman Graham Power had a vision based on 2 Chronicles 7:14, which states, "If my people, who are called by name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land."
The vision had clear instructions to call Christians from all denominations together for a day of repentance and prayer, the website states.
In March 2001, 45,000 Christians united for worship, the website states. The value of the gathering was reflected in a changing city, and the movement eventually spread all over the African continent and the world. Muldoon said it picked up in Belleville years ago and has grown to include a number of area churches.
"It's kind of powerful to think you're praying among people all over the world," he said.
The local service will be a combination of music and prayer, he said. A prayer guide for the event includes five areas of worship: repentance; global world hotspots; family, marriage, fathers; global, national, state and local leaders; and schools and youth. River Church Band is set to provide music, and the evening will end with a closing world prayer, he said.
Muldoon explained that attending the night of worship allows Christians to walk in love with fellow believers.
"Prayer is really important, and our culture seems to be going away from Christianity," he said, adding that many areas seem to have lost their faith in God.
The Global Day of Prayer service is one way to bring individuals and churches back together in their faith, he said.

6 Weirdly Specific Characters That Are in Every Sitcom Ever
So you want to do whatever the opposite of cultural enrichment is and make your own sitcom. It's not that hard -- look how many shows premiere every fall. Your four major networks will probably pump out at least six sitcoms each, and within a month and a half they'll be gone and your only knowledge of them will be a mild headache when you try to remember what happened last Monday at 9 on CBS. That headache is a little, rotten piece of brain matter that will never fully repair itself. It died so that you might not remember that they tried to make a sitcom out of those cavemen characters from Geico commercials.
Sitcoms are pretty easy to slap together because they're all basically the same, in the way every game of Monopoly will be the same -- same pieces, same layout, same sense of impending dread the longer it goes on. To save you some time, I'm going to lay out all the important sitcom characters you'll ever need. Some shows only use a couple; you'll want to take all of them if you want to ensure that your show really lasts. Or fails really fast, it can go either way.

The horny character is a perennial favorite of sitcoms since the 1970s, when sex was discovered. They exist to make awkward sexual jokes and innuendoes and seem to romp about solely in a world of base, debauched desires.
As Seen In: Blanche DuBois, Sam Malone, Kelly Bundy, Mona Robinson, Sandra Clark, Larry Dallas, Joey Tribbiani, Barney Stinson, G.O.B. Bluth
Why This Character: Sex is funny to people -- just look at all the sex articles on Cracked. More importantly, sex should be funny. If sex is too serious, you may be an asshole. Any human who doesn't crack a smile in the face of a queef is a soulless abomination. The horny character is able to express all those perverse inner desires and say those filthy things audience members want to hear but can't express for themselves. Now sure, maybe you're OK with striking up a conversation with a bus driver about fisting, but think of the average shmuck out there who probably gets red in the face when someone says "titmouse." It's for those people that perv characters exist, so they can live vicariously through their TV friend who never gets STDs but has porked the entire greater Los Angeles area thrice this season.

Old people are hilariously out of touch and have short tempers. Anger is funny when it comes from someone ineffectual and unimportant, like a grandparent or someone no longer valuable to society. These characters are often irrational and confusing, which is great.
As Seen In: Martin Crane, Sophia Petrillo, Frank Barone, every character Jerry Stiller plays, Mr. Roper, Walter Powell, Pearl Shay, Archie Bunker, Fred Sanford, Uncle Phil
Why This Character: Old people are a necessity because they keep us rooted in our own mortality. Who hasn't watched Sanford and Son and thought, "I'm gonna be that asshole and then I'll die." And when you thought it, you thought "gonna," not "going to." Because as an old asshole, you don't care much for grammar anymore.
Old people are hilariously faultless in sitcoms. Because they're from a different time, like back when manners, understanding, empathy, thoughtfulness, and not being shitty didn't exist, they can say and do things the average person would be vilified for. Archie Bunker was a terrible racist and is one of the most beloved sitcom characters ever. How did they ameliorate this? He met a famous black guy in one episode. Somehow that worked.
Creatas/Creatas/Getty Images
Old Black Man/Old White Man was the top rated show on CBS in 1981
The reason we like cranky old shit characters is because they get their comeuppance somewhere along the line, usually at the hands of a more likeable younger character. If the old person tried to run the show alone, it would suck, and probably alienate everyone. However, pay lip service to the other side of the coin in a young and therefore correct character, and everyone is happy, because we know the younger star must be right, he's younger. If the old person was right, he wouldn't be so damn old.
Special notice should be paid to The Golden Girls, where somehow the younger character was Bea Arthur, who was as old as the sand dunes borne from her aged womb.
#4. The Servant
Comstock/Comstock/Getty Images
For reasons never adequately explained, a small but vocal percentage of sitcom producers are fairly certain audiences love rich people. They love them and want to see them abuse and be abused by their hired help, thus the fascination with butlers and housekeepers was born. It doesn't make sense in any way, but maybe in the '70s and '80s every Hollywood writer living out of a shitty basement apartment had dreams of one day verbally abusing Tony Danza.
As Seen In: Mr. Belvedere, Geoffrey the Butler, Benson DuBois, Alice from The Brady Bunch, Bertram from Jessie, Fran Fine and Niles, Florida Evans, Rosario Salazar, Tony Micelli, Lurch
Why This Character: Servants are a gateway between two worlds that potentially opens up a lot of storylines. A story about rich people is one thing, a story about the working class another, but a servant bridges the gap and lets us see both interact. And, because you're probably working class (the rich have different stations with better shows. Breaking Bad has been on rich TV since 1995), you can relate to the butler or housekeeper who, against all odds, is allowed to have a smart mouth and sass her employer, when in real life if a nanny tried to smart off like Fran Drescher, INS would be at the door before she got to the trite punchline. She's not even a foreigner, but don't you doubt they'd have her cleaning toilets in a Brazilian hostel by week's end.

Smells like beef and ransom.
We like servants because they're us and, even in the face of opulence, they don't take no guff. Again with the poor grammar. Just because they work for a richer person doesn't make them less human and, more importantly, rich people are dumb dickfaces at least 70 percent of the time and need a servant to keep them in line because if they didn't have one, they'd be wallowing in their own twattery at every turn. Servants keep them real, yo.

Designed for Success
Managing your residential design business for success means that you have to monitor and make decisions based on many different variables, each of which can be critically important to you at different times. However, the most critical constant you must track in any design business is job cost.
When I use the term "job cost" I am specifically referring to what it costs for your firm to produce one specific project. How many hours of design and meeting time were logged, what was the production drafting time and check time, what prints, engineering costs, etc. were needed to complete the project and how did all of the time spent and expenses accrued compare to the contract amount and/or your estimate?
It may be that as a designer you don't feel it is necessary to track this information: you've always made money and you look at your P&L fairly often, so what's the problem? You may know (or think you know) on a gut level when a job is profitable, but unless you do exactly the same type of project every time, you could, for instance, be losing money on remodels and making up for it on new homes. The trouble with this scenario is that when new house work slows down, your bottom line can be red instead of black very quickly. As an experienced designer friend of mine says (jokingly, I think), "he loses a little money on every project but he makes it up in volume!" Instead of trying to make a profit on volume maybe you should be analyzing each and every project to determine where you're profitable and where you need to improve your process or production. After all, what gets measured gets improved.
Everyone approaches job cost measurement a bit differently and there is no right or wrong way, as accumulating the actual time and materials costs is pretty easy. You can use a low-tech approach and track your time daily on a piece of paper or you can use a software application such as the timer included in your accounting package or your drawing software. Even more sophisticated options are available for managing your entire business in the cloud such as ArchiOffice, gProjects or any numbers of iPad apps.
More difficult, perhaps, is breaking down the way you put your estimates together so that you can compare your initial numbers to your actual. Some designers price on a square foot basis, others work hourly and still others take a more detailed approach and estimate each phase and piece of work by the hours required to produce it. I started out using the square foot method but quickly found that it only worked if I was doing the same kind and complexity of project over and over; but I wasn't. I could produce a 3000 sq. ft. house that was a simple builder colonial, or the same square footage could be a developed as a cascading hip roof multilevel plan. I found that I did not want to pass up the more complex job because of the experience it gave me, so I eliminated my square foot price sheet and changed my estimating methods to price each project individually.
Working by the hour is easy to quote and very predictable, unfortunately while this method covers your costs, it doesn't reward you for being faster than your estimate. Using this method means you've capped your income at the maximum number of hours you can work and, in my opinion, you're simply leaving money on the table.
What I find works for me is a very detailed Excel spreadsheet, because every item that has to be done on any kind of project is listed and there is a place for me to enter the estimated time to complete each task. There is a cell for zoning research time, a cell for reviewing window and shop drawings and line items for each sheet of the set and each phase where we touch it. We track our work in three phases or steps, conceptual design, design development, and construction documents, and we invoice in the same format. I have found that some months we bill predominately only one phase of work; if that phase isn't profitable then I have a cash flow problem to bridge in 30-45 days.
As I review my job costs with each invoice I am asking myself the following questions: did I price the project correctly and did I produce it within the hours I estimated? Were there extenuating circumstances that caused this particular project to exceed budget (client indecision, changes or scope creep) and was I able to recoup those additional costs? If you have employees or if you outsource some of your work, this job cost process will also allow you to track their profitability.
Yes, this takes a little time each week, but it is not a significant amount and the process helps me continuously improve my business management skills. I firmly believe that with a few changes in the way we each manage our businesses, we can all increase our bottom line profitability.

Count Basie
Share This
Count Basie
was among the most important bandleaders of the swing era. With the exception of a brief period in the early '50s, he led a big band from 1935 until his death almost 50 years later, and the band continued to perform after he died.
's orchestra was characterized by a light, swinging rhythm section that he led from the piano, lively ensemble work, and generous soloing.
was not a composer like
Duke Ellington
or an important soloist like
Benny Goodman
. His instrument was his band, which was considered the epitome of swing and became broadly influential on jazz.
Both of
's parents were musicians; his father, Harvie Basie, played the mellophone, and his mother, Lillian (Childs) Basie, was a pianist who gave her son his earliest lessons.
also learned from Harlem stride pianists, particularly
Fats Waller
. His first professional work came accompanying vaudeville performers, and he was part of a troupe that broke up in Kansas City in 1927, leaving him stranded there. He stayed in the Midwestern city, at first working in a silent movie house and then joining
Walter Page
Blue Devils
in July 1928. The band's vocalist was
Jimmy Rushing
left in early 1929 to play with other bands, eventually settling into one led by
Bennie Moten
. Upon
's untimely death on April 2, 1935,
worked as a soloist before leading a band initially called the Barons of Rhythm. Many former members of the
band joined this nine-piece outfit, among them
Walter Page
Freddie Green
Jo Jones
(drums), and
Lester Young
(tenor saxophone).
Jimmy Rushing
became the singer. The band gained a residency at the Reno Club in Kansas City and began broadcasting on the radio, an announcer dubbing the pianist
"Count" Basie
got his big break when one of his broadcasts was heard by journalist and record producer
John Hammond
, who touted him to agents and record companies. As a result, the band was able to leave Kansas City in the fall of 1936 and take up an engagement at the Grand Terrace in Chicago, followed by a date in Buffalo, NY, before coming into Roseland in New York City in December. It made its recording debut on Decca Records in January 1937. Undergoing expansion and personnel changes, it returned to Chicago, then to the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Boston. Meanwhile, its recording of "One O'Clock Jump" became its first chart entry in September 1937. The tune became the band's theme song and it was later inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
returned to New York for an extended engagement at the small club the Famous Door in 1938 that really established the band as a success. "Stop Beatin' Round the Mulberry Bush," with
on vocals, became a Top Ten hit in the fall of 1938.
spent the first half of 1939 in Chicago, meanwhile switching from Decca to Columbia Records, then went to the West Coast in the fall. He spent the early '40s touring extensively, but after the U.S. entry into World War II in December 1941 and the onset of the recording ban in August 1942, his travel was restricted. While on the West Coast, he and the band appeared in five films, all released within a matter of months in 1943: Hit Parade of 1943,
Reveille with Beverly
Stage Door Canteen
, Top Man, and Crazy House. He also scored a series of Top Ten hits on the pop and R&B charts, including "I Didn't Know About You" (pop, winter 1945); "Red Bank Blues" (R&B, winter 1945); "Rusty Dusty Blues" (R&B, spring 1945); "Jimmy's Blues" (pop and R&B, summer/fall 1945); and "Blue Skies" (pop, summer 1946). Switching to RCA Victor Records, he topped the charts in February 1947 with "Open the Door, Richard!," followed by three more Top Ten pop hits in 1947: "Free Eats," "One O'Clock Boogie," and "I Ain't Mad at You (You Ain't Mad at Me)."
The big bands' decline in popularity in the late '40s hit
as it did his peers, and he broke up his orchestra at the end of the decade, opting to lead smaller units for the next couple of years. But he was able to reform the big band in 1952, responding to increased opportunities for touring. For example, he went overseas for the first time to play in Scandinavia in 1954, and thereafter international touring played a large part in his schedule. An important addition to the band in late 1954 was vocalist
Joe Williams
. The orchestra was re-established commercially by the 1955 album
Count Basie Swings - Joe Williams Sings
(released on Clef Records), particularly by the single "Every Day (I Have the Blues)," which reached the Top Five of the R&B charts and was later inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Another key recording of this period was an instrumental reading of "April in Paris" that made the pop Top 40 and the R&B Top Ten in early 1956; it also was enshrined in the Grammy Hall of Fame. These hits made what
Albert Murray
(co-author of
's autobiography, Good Morning Blues) called the "new testament" edition of the
band a major success.
remained with
until 1960, and even after his departure, the band continued to prosper.
At the first Grammy Awards ceremony,
won the 1958 awards for Best Performance by a Dance Band and Best Jazz Performance, Group, for his Roulette Records LP
Breakfast Dance and Barbecue
was nominated in the dance band category for 1959, and
won in the category in 1960 for
Dance with Basie
, earning nominations the same year for Best Performance by an Orchestra and Best Jazz Performance, Large Group, for
The Count Basie Story
. There were further nominations for best jazz performance for
Basie at Birdland
in 1961 and
The Legend
in 1962. None of these albums attracted much commercial attention, however, and in 1962,
switched to
Frank Sinatra
's Reprise Records in a bid to sell more records.
satisfied that desire, reaching the Top Five in early 1963. It was followed by
This Time by Basie! Hits of the 50's and 60's
, which reached the Top 20 and won the 1963 Grammy Award for Best Performance by an Orchestra for Dancing.
This initiated a period largely deplored by jazz fans that ran through the rest of the 1960s, when
teamed with various vocalists for a series of chart albums including
Ella Fitzgerald
Ella and Basie!
, 1963);
again (the Top 20 album
It Might as Well Be Swing
, 1964);
Sammy Davis, Jr
. (
Our Shining Hour
, 1965);
the Mills Brothers
The Board of Directors
, 1968); and
Jackie Wilson
Manufacturers of Soul
, 1968). He also reached the charts with an album of show tunes,
Broadway Basie's ... Way
By the end of the 1960s,
had returned to more of a jazz format. His album
Standing Ovation
earned a 1969 Grammy nomination for Best Instrumental Jazz Performance by a Large Group or Soloist with Large Group (Eight or More), and in 1970, with
Oliver Nelson
as arranger/conductor, he recorded
, an experimental, avant-garde album that earned a 1971 Grammy nomination for Best Jazz Performance by a Big Band. By this time, the band performed largely on the jazz festival circuit and on cruise ships. In the early 1970s, after a series of short-term affiliations,
signed to Pablo Records, with which he recorded for the rest of his life. Pablo recorded
prolifically in a variety of settings, resulting in a series of well-received albums: Basie Jam earned a 1975 Grammy nomination for Best Jazz Performance by a Group;
Basie and Zoot
was nominated in the same category in 1976 and won the Grammy for Best Jazz Performance by a Soloist;
Prime Time
won the 1977 Grammy for Best Jazz Performance by a Big Band; and
The Gifted Ones
Dizzy Gillespie
was nominated for a 1979 Grammy for Best Jazz Instrumental Performance by a Group. Thereafter,
competed in the category of Best Jazz Instrumental Performance by a Big Band, winning the Grammy in 1980 for
On the Road
and in 1982 for
Warm Breeze
, earning a nomination for
Farmer's Market Barbecue
in 1983, and winning a final time, for his ninth career Grammy, in 1984 for
88 Basie Street
's health gradually deteriorated during the last eight years of his life. He suffered a heart attack in 1976 that put him out of commission for several months. He was back in the hospital in 1981, and when he returned to action, he was driving an electric wheel chair onto the stage. He died of cancer at 79.
Count Basie
was admired as much by musicians as by listeners, and he displayed a remarkable consistency in a bandleading career that lasted long after swing became an archival style of music. After his death, his was one of the livelier ghost bands, led in turn by
Thad Jones
Frank Foster
, and
Grover Mitchell
. His lengthy career resulted in a large discography spread across all of the major labels and quite a few minor ones as well.

June 13, 1935 – March 27, 2013
George P. Steigauf, of Amherst and Chautauqua, a retired business owner, died Wednesday after becoming ill while staying at his winter home in South Carolina. He was 77.
Mr. Steigauf founded two companies – Maintenance & Management Associates Inc., a real estate management company, in 1979, and Eastern Energy Control Corp. in 1985. Eastern Energy was the first regional distributor of energy-saving 3M Window Film.
Born in Milwaukee, he was a graduate of Notre Dame High School in Milwaukee and of Pennsylvania State University.
Mr. Steigauf worked for 20 years for Pillsbury and was transferred to Buffalo in 1957 to serve as manager of the company's distribution warehouse in Cheektowaga.
He left Pillsbury in 1974 to work for a building services and management company, then founded his own firm five years later.
Learning that 3M was looking a distributor, he established Eastern Energy, which later became a dealer for 3M Window Film.
Mr. Steigauf retired in 2001. One of his sons, George C. "Cardie," heads Eastern Energy, and a daughter, Maripat Downey, operates Maintenance & Management Associates.
An avid golfer, he was a member of the Chautauqua Point Golf Course, where he scored two holes-in-one. He also was a founding member of the Maplemere Tennis Club.
Surviving are his wife of 55 years, the former Kathleen Sheehan; two sons, Dean and George C.; and two daughters, Downey and Nancy Calzone.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be offered at 8:45 a.m. Thursday in St. Leo the Great Catholic Church, 885 Sweet Home Road, Amherst.

Submit a Driving Record Request (DRR) form to Campus Police to authorize the release and full disclosure of the employee's Texas Driver's License Records. Campus Police will make a record inquiry at least once a year after the employee was initially authorized to drive university vehicles, if the individual is still employed. By signing the DRR form, employees agree to immediately report to their supervisor the suspension or revocation of their operator's license by the Texas Department of Public Safety.
Any employee who operates a university-owned, rented, leased, or personal vehicle for official university business at a time when his or her license was suspended or revoked will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
Complete the Vehicle Safety module of the University Training Post and submit the certificate of completion to the Office of Human Resources (HR).
In addition to completing the training, half-time, part-time, Student Employment Initiative, and college work-study employees must also include the name of department and signature of a supervisor (must be a full-time employee) on the certificate before forwarding it to HR.
A separate University Training Post module, specifically for driving 15-passenger vans, must be completed and the certificate should be submitted to the Office of Human Resources.

Absolutely tragic event took place in the Swiss League in playoff game.
Prayers go out to Ronny and his family.
Now on to the issue, this kind of play happens far too often and major injuries like this have been avoided in the NHL SO FAR. The hit by Kaleta on Brad Richards the other night is a prime example of these types of hits and had the speed been a bit higher who knows what could have happened to Richards.
I played minor hockey growing up and a few times this happen to me, of course, not at that speed or high of impact. It is a scary play and very dirty.
Clearly this should be addressed not only in the Swiss league but all of hockey, period.
For those interested, just youtube the players name and you'll see a video of it.

We are approaching an asymptote for processor speeds using current technology. To overcome this, computer power is increasing by scaling the number of processors used within
a system. This increase in multithreading capabilities, however, complicates development considerably. In this geekSpeak, we'll chat with Microsoft Regional Director Mark Michaelis about how .NET 4.0 simplifies this paradigm with new APIs that leverage the
power of recent .NET language extensions and .NET 4.0 API enhancements - Task Parallel Library and ParallelLINQ. Your hosts for this geekSpeak are
Lynn Langit and
Mithun Dhar.
The geekSpeak webcast series brings you industry experts in a "talk-radio" format hosted by developer evangelists from Microsoft. These experts share their knowledge and experience about a particular developer technology and are ready to answer your questions in real time during the webcast. To ask a question in advance of the live webcast, or for post-show resources, be sure to visit the geekSpeak blog.
Presenters: Mark Michaelis, Enterprise Software Architect, Itron, Inc.
Mark Michaelis is an Enterprise Software Architect at Itron Inc. Additionally, Mark recently started intelliTechture, a software engineering and consulting company with high end skills in Microsoft VSTS/TFS, BizTalk, SharePoint, and .NET 3.0. Mark also serves as a Chief Software Architect and Trainer for IDesign Inc. Mark holds a BA in philosophy from the University of Illinois and an MS in computer science from the Illinois Institute of Technology. He is also recognized by Microsoft as a Regional Directory. Starting in 1996, he has been a Microsoft MVP for C#, Visual Studio Team System, and the Windows SDK. He serves on several Microsoft software design review teams, including C#, the Connected Systems Division and VSTS/TFS.

His most recent book is Essential C# 3.0 (Addison-Wesley, 2008). When not bonding with his computer, Mark is busy with his family or training for the Ironman.
Oops, something didn't work.
Just FYI. I fixed the link to Mark's blog and I put the higer bitrate video into the player to help enhance readability.
In order to be able to develop and not just run applications for the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0, it is required to have Microsoft's SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4 (or newer) or Visual Studio 2010 installed on your computer.
Do anyone know if I can use another program than Visual Studio 2010?

"A major discovery." —Mojo
"Lisa takes us out of our comfort zone and plants us in a garden of England we didn't know was there, but it's one we'd like to explore further." —BBC Radio 3
"Knapp's unique voice is earthy, elfin and breathlessly mischievous all at once, proving beyond doubt that, whether with self-penned or traditional material, she is an innovator and creative artist par excellence." —The Living Tradition
Raised in South London playing classical violin while listening to 'hip-hop,' Lisa Knapp's music has evolved into a unique sound of an angelic folk voice that is somehow light and powerful at the same time with delicate yet catchy acoustics that will leave the listener in a trance. Her first album Wild and Undaunted did new and surprising takes on traditional English tunes. In an area where traditional music is not main stream, Knapp's music was able to break that barrier by getting rotations on BBC Radio 1, Radio 2 and Radio 3. This type of success for a new artist, let alone in a specific genre, is nearly unheard of. Since then, Knapp has gone on to be nominated for BBC2's Folk Awards and has received Mojo's 'Folk Album of the Year.' After a long hiatus following the success of her first album, Knapp's second album, HIDDEN SEAM, comes highly anticipated and is expected to be full of many more musical revelations that will only build on her already esteemed musical foundation.

"I just wish they could figure out a way to have gnomes running around, biting your heels. Wouldn't that be fun?"
