Jerricho Cotchery didn't "catch" the ball
So much went wrong for Carolina in the Super Bowl, but the call on the Jerricho Cotchery play right before Cam Newton fumbled away the ball for a touchdown was a critical turning point.
As the video above explains, CBS did a terrible job of explaining the ruling. While Cotchery had his hand under the ball, the tip of the ball did touch the ground, and then it moved after that. It's pretty simple – that wasn't a catch.

Erie business, health-care leaders weigh in on reform
Health-care reform has impacted American Tinning & Galvanizing Co. in two ways.
The federal law has allowed several of the Erie company's employees to put their adult children back onto their health insurance policies.
And it has killed a fair number of trees.
"In the short term, what we have seen is an overwhelming amount of paperwork -- documentation and memorandums," said Robin Scheppner, owner of American Tinning & Galvanizing, 552 W. 12th St. "It's not only what the administrative staff has to deal with, but what we pass out to employees."
It's been more than two years since President Barack Obama signed the Affordable Care Act into law, and about six weeks since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled it was constitutional.
But many people, including business owners and some health-care professionals, aren't sure what will change by the time the law takes full effect Jan. 1, 2015.
"This doesn't surprise me at all," said David Dausey, director of public health at Mercyhurst University. "Remember that most policymakers who voted on the bill didn't even read the entire bill. One reason for all this confusion is the fact that the law was contested in court and so no one really knew whether or not the full law would be implemented."
One of the first changes under health-care reform was to allow adult children up to age 26 to be covered under their parents' health insurance. The bill was first proposed by then-U.S. Rep. Kathy Dahlkemper, of Erie.
Three of the 60 American Tinning & Galvanizing employees who receive health insurance through the company asked to add children back onto their policies.
That change was relatively easy to implement, said David Bertges, the company's financial and human resources manager. Upcoming ones will be more difficult.
"The confusion is knowing how to comply," Bertges said. "There is no guidance right now. We have talked with our insurance broker and our health insurer, and it's all kind of a wait-and-see approach."
Local hospitals can't afford that kind of approach. They have been busy in recent years converting from paper to electronic medical records, a requirement under health-care reform.
Hospitals and physician offices that don't convert will have their Medicare payments slashed. The initial regulations take effect Oct. 1.
"Our clinical data will be totally and electronically integrated with UPMC on Sept. 22," UPMC Hamot President Jim Fiorenzo said. "We are in the process of converting our physician offices to electronic records. We're about 75 percent done with primary-care offices and expect to be finished by the end of 2012. The specialty offices will be done by June 2013."
Saint Vincent Health System was among the region's first hospitals to begin converting to electronic records. Seven of its 16 physician offices used electronic records by 2004.
Now Saint Vincent is getting ready to be paid for how well it treats patients instead of for simply treating them. It's called a value-based purchasing program, and this part of health-care reform begins to take effect Oct. 1 at hospitals nationwide.
"Hospitals are having a percentage of their Medicare reimbursement withheld and then paid based on performance," said Christopher Clark, D.O., Saint Vincent's chief quality officer. "It's based on how well they do in respect to certain guidelines."
Those guidelines include readmission rates and outcomes for certain conditions such as heart failure and pneumonia.
For pneumonia, a hospital is checked to see if the correct antibiotic is given, while heart attacks might be checked to see if angioplasty is done within 90 minutes of arrival.
On the payment side, hospitals will soon deal with bundling. It's the term Medicare uses to pay a flat rate for a patient's episode of care, and a pilot program takes effect by Jan. 1.
The payment would then be divided among all of the patient's caregivers: primary-care doctor, surgeon, hospital, even a nursing home.
"We will have to work with our partners like we have never done before," Fiorenzo said. "Take a nursing home, for example. Does the nursing home align with our hospital's continuum of care? If not and the patient fails, we might not get paid."
Physician offices also must deal with the expected influx of patients when millions of uninsured patients begin to be covered by employer plans or Medicaid in 2014 -- one of the main tent poles of the Affordable Care Act.
It comes at a time when much of the country is experiencing shortages in primary-care doctors.
"We utilize midlevel practitioners (physician assistants and nurse practitioners) in the Saint Vincent Medical Group, and I expect it will increase," Clark said. "Patients are more used to dealing with them, and I don't see it as a problem."
Community Health Net, 1202 State St., might see the biggest increase in patients of any medical office in Erie.
As Erie County's only federally qualified health center, Community Health Net receives a higher payment for Medicaid patients than any other medical office.
A majority of its patients are on Medicaid.
"My biggest concern is that we are going to need more primary-care doctors," Community Health Net Chief Executive John Schultz said. "We're always recruiting, ... but it's a struggle."
Of course, many of these changes depend on the Affordable Care Act remaining intact. Mitt Romney, the presumptive Republican nominee for president, has vowed to dismantle health-care reform if elected.
"The election is certainly adding confusion," said Dausey, Mercyhurst's director of public health. "Romney has made it a party platform to say he will repeal the law. This makes health-care providers even more unsure if they should spend scarce time and resources preparing for its implementation."

A newly released Snowden doc shows that GCHQ collects millions of webcam conversations in America and elsewhere — with help from NSA
What do you get if you combine Christmas, jury-rigged electronics, 22,000 lights, over a dozen inflatables, webcams, and custom server software running on a Linux server? Alek Komarnitsky's controllable Christmas lights, of course! Every year, Alek — who is one of the world wide web's most infamous OGs — lights up his house with 22,000 lights and over a dozen inflatables, and then lets strangers on the internet control them all via a gaudy website. Why? To raise money for research into celiac disease, which his kids were diagnosed with a few years ago.
Now: $295 for collision warning and lane departure warning system and color LCD standard. This is possible because it uses a cheap camera instead of pricey radar.

Ishrat case: ADG Pandey surrenders to CBI court
By PTI - AHMEDABAD
Published: 13th August 2013 12:04 PM
Last Updated: 13th August 2013 01:29 PM
A day after his anticipatory bail plea was rejected by the Supreme Court, Gujarat IPS officer P P Pandey, an accused in the Ishrat Jahan encounter case, today surrendered before a CBI court here.
A 1982-batch IPS officer, Pandey today appeared before the CBI court of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate (ACJM) H S Khutwad and surrendered before the court.
The apex court had yesterday rejected the anticipatory bail of the Additional Director General of Police (crime) Pandey, against whom a non-bailable warrant had been issued in the Ishrat Jahan encounter case, saying his conduct in remaining absconding dis-entitled him for the relief.
Pandey was earlier declared an absconder by a special CBI court here, and Gujarat DGP Amitabh Pathak had sought a report from the CID crime on him.
Pandey was Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime), Ahmedabad, when Ishrat, a Mumbai-based student, Javed Shaikh alias Pranesh Pillai, Amjad Ali Rana and Zeeshan Johar were gunned down by Crime Branch sleuths on June 15, 2004, near here.
Seven Gujarat policemen, including Pandey, have been named as accused and charged with murder and criminal conspiracy by CBI which is probing the case under Gujarat High Court orders.

New biography explores Rosa Parks' lifetime of activism
For her 100th birthday, the late Rosa Parks has received a special gift: a new biography by historian Jeanne Theoharis designed to prove that when it comes to the civil rights movement, Parks was more than a one-hit wonder.
Parks, born Feb. 4, 1913, in Tuskegee, Ala., is the African-American woman who was memorably arrested on Dec. 1, 1955, for refusing to obey a bus driver's order to give up her seat to a white passenger. Her arrest triggered a bus boycott in Montgomery and made Parks one of the icons of the civil rights movement. »Read Full Blog Post(3)

text: Clos du Bois Merlot 750ml Sku: 10831 The fruit for our Merlot comes from vineyards in Sonoma County`s Alexander and Dry Creek Valleys. Extended maceration enhances color, flavor and mouthfeel, and aging for 18 months in 60-gallon oak barrels adds softness and a subtle vanillin component. We blend small amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon to add structure and complexity, which enlivens the subtle texture and plum-like fruitiness that is the hallmark of fine Merlot. Merlot is food`s best friend. We like ours with roasted leg of lamb or tomato-based pasta dishes.

Koncz: Pacquiao-Marquez Trilogy is Not Done Yet
By Lem Satterfield
While a deal might be finalized on the side of Juan Manuel Marquez, adviser Michael Koncz advised BoxingScene.com that Manny Pacquiao has to sign off on several important items related to the fight, including his purse. In the coming days, Koncz will hold a meeting with Pacquiao's promoter, Bob Arum of Top Rank, to discuss the financial details for Manny. After their meeting, Koncz will leave Los Angeles and fly over to the Philippines to review the details with Pacquiao.
"I don't really want to put any undo pressure on Manny. I'll sit down with Bob Arum over the next few days and discuss the details, and then go to Manny, and then Manny will give me the marching orders. It's very simple. I'll sit down with Bob, discuss the purse, and so forth, and then I'll present it to Manny when I get to the Philippines on Sunday. But we're in no rush," Koncz told BoxingScene.com.
Marquez's former promoters, Golden Boy Promotions, are likely not going to match the lucrative offer presented by Top Rank for a Pacquiao trilogy. According to a source, the terms for Marquez are basically in line with the same deal that was presented to Shane Mosley for his recent fight with Pacquiao. Marquez will receive a guaranteed of $5 million plus $5 per home after 850,000 pay-per-view buys. If Marquez wins, the Mexican veteran is guaranteed $10 million dollars for a fourth fight.
If everything gets finalized, Pacquiao-Marquez will take place on November 12 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. There will be a catch-weight of 144-pounds.

When you launch Windows 7, and you log in with your user account. The very first thing you'll www see is the Windows desktop. This is where all of your work will be performed. At first glance, the Windows 7 desktop doesn't really look any different from the Windows Vista desktop. But there had been some changes and improvements. So let's explore the desktop now. We will begin in the bottom left-hand corner with our Windows Orb, also known as the Start button. Notice as we hover over this button, we see a little tooltip that says Start. And this is where we go to start just about everything, including shutting down our computer.
But when we click this button, there are some subtle changes that we will notice. For example, when you install new applications such as the Intel(R) Processor ID Utility that you see down here, you no longer have the choice of displaying a shortcut icon on the taskbar during the installation. Instead, newly installed programs appear for a short time on the left side of the Start menu down here at the bottom. And this is all part of the recently used list, so the other applications or programs we see here have been recently used.
You will also see some at the top with arrows, for example, Microsoft Office PowerPoint, something I have used recently, has a little black arrow, when I hover over PowerPoint. I am going to see some of the files I used recently so I can quickly access them from here, I don't have to go searching through the various files in different folders or once I launch PowerPoint, I don't need the Open button. I'll open PowerPoint directly with the file in place. Notice also when we hover over these that a little pushpin appears on the right-hand side.
If there's a certain file you use over and over, such as an Excel Spreadsheet everyday, you might want to pin it to this list, so that it never disappears. It'll appear at the top now under the Pinned category and Recent files will appear down below. Of course as you continue to use more and more files some of the older ones disappear from the Recent list but if you have Pinned one, it will always appear on the Pinned list. You can also unpin by clicking that pushpin. It goes back to the recently used list. All right, notice down at the bottom we've got a program, in this case that was recently installed.
And when you install programs you're going to notice them appear down here at the bottom, and if it's something that you want to have quick and easy access to, well you might want to pin it to the Task Bar, or keep it here on the Start menu. So you can pin programs as well. Let's right-click our Intel Processor ID Utility or any of the other programs you have on your list. It really doesn't matter. When you right-click you will notice an option to pin it to the taskbar, which will pin it down below at the bottom of your screen on the taskbar or you can keep it here on the Start menu by choosing Pin to Start menu.
I am going to choose Pin to Taskbar. Notice a shortcut appears down here on the taskbar and this item has disappeared from my Start menu. We can always unpin that by right-clicking on the taskbar. Choose Unpin this program. We'll go back to the Windows Orb and notice that that program appears back at the bottom of my Start menu on the left-hand side. Now, you can do this for any of the programs, another option is to create a shortcut right on your desktop. That's something you are accustomed to doing, no problem.
For example, if you use the Paint accessory on a regular basis, you might want a shortcut to that right on your desktop. All you do is go to the Paint icon, click and drag it over to the desktop and you'll notice, I haven't let go yet. It says I'm about to create a link in my desktop. And when I will let go, there is my shortcut. Of course, I can move that around if I want to stay organized, move it over here to the left. Now, this is just a shortcut. It's not the actual program. So if I move this to the Recycle Bin all I am doing is deleting the shortcut itself, not the program.
I can always go back to my Windows Orb and access it from here as well. Now, one cool new feature that I really like about Widows 7 is called Aero Themes. And with Aero Themes you get some really cool functionality. Let's start by right- clicking anywhere on the desktop. I'll go down to Personalize. Now, under Themes here you'll notice that you've got something called Aero Themes. And the 7 in brackets or the number you might see in brackets represents the number of themes you have in that category.
So you can choose any of these themes, this will change the background colors and the images you see, might affect your screen savers, some of the sounds that you're going to hear as well. So, if you have selected any of these Aero themes, you have access to some of the Aero functionality. So let's close this up, we'll come back to personalizing your desktop in another lesson. For now though, as long as we got an Aero Theme selected and it is a default theme that is selected for you, when you install Windows 7, we can start playing around with some of that functionality.
So we'll start by opening up some programs. We will go down to the Windows Orb. Let's open up Paint, one click opens that one up. We'll go back down to the Windows Orb, if you see the Calculator there, go ahead and click that. We'll also open up a game. So we'll go down to the Windows Orb. This time we'll just go to All Programs. You can click or just hover and eventually it'll open up. And now we'll go up to Games, click, and let's open up a game of Hearts. And you can see now, we have got several windows open up in front of us that could get a little bit confusing, a little bit crowded here.
If we wanted to focus on our Paint window, here is one cool feature. Of course, we could click the Paint window to bring it to the front, but we still see some clutter. So just click and drag and shake it, something called Aero Shake. And you'll notice now it's the only window appearing on the desktop, the others have been minimized, moved down to the taskbar. Now if we click and shake again, we'll bring those back. You can see they are both open up here in the background. Another option to stay organized and this is very handy when copying files, for example, from one folder to another, is to simply drag any window from it's Titlebar here at the top to one side of the screen, either left or right.
So I am going to drag this all away to the right. As soon as my mouse pointer hits the right side of the screen, you can see what happens. It's resized for me, and automatically fills the right side of my screen. I am going to do the same with my Hearts game here. Drag it over to the left. When I release, you can see it's automatically sized. So I can see both of these applications. So you can imagine if you are working with folders for example, how easy it would be to drag files from one to the other. You still have Minimize, Maximize and Close buttons showing up at the top.
But another option if you want to maximize is just to drag from the titlebar any application, you can see when I move back into the middle of my screen, it resizes or restores to it's original shape and size. I can move all way to the top and let go, and now I've maximized my screen. Notice that the Maximize button turns into a Restore button, clicking this button will restore it back down to it's original size where I can move it around. Now one last item that we need to discuss is something you may have noticed that was missing when you first installed Windows 7, and accessed the desktop and that's the Getting Started or the Welcome Center.
Now it no longer appears by default, but you can always access it when needed from the Accessories folder. Let's go down to the Windows Orb, go to All Programs and from Accessories, you'll notice something called Getting Started. And when we select Getting Started, this is what you probably are accustomed to seeing, when you first launched or installed other Windows versions like Vista for example. We have a lot of options here, for getting started with your new operating system. Once you have launched it though, remember our Start menu displays recently used items.
So I am going to close this up. You can go ahead and do the same thing. Click the Windows Orb, and you should see Getting Started now. It's one of those with a black arrow on the right-hand side. So when you move over to the right you'll notice the various tasks that we saw, in the Getting Started window. But we can access them directly from here now. For example, if we wanted to add a new user account, we could chose use Add new users and it takes us directly to that section. We could also get there from the Control panel. You can see the entire path that's required to get to User Accounts.
Here's where we can go to do things like Change your passwords and account names and Add new accounts and so on. I am just going to close this up for now, and let's close up all of the other applications or programs that we have running. And we return back to our desktop. So that does cover the desktop itself. We haven't gone into detail with a part of the desktop that has been enhanced down at the bottom, our taskbar. That's coming up next.

Mauresmo suffers defeat in race for number-one ranking
Published 08/11/2006
Tennis star Amelie Mauresmo appears unlikely to achieve her goal of finishing the year as women's world number one.
The Frenchwoman needs to successfully defend her WTA Championship title in Madrid this week in order to stay top of the rankings.
However, she was thrashed in straight sets yesterday by Nadia Petrova in the round-robin stage of the competition.
Maria Sharapova, who could overtake Maruesmo in the rankings if she wins the WTA tournament, beat Elena Dementieva in straight sets yesterday.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Torcolo Verona
Great Value in an Excellent Location
My husband and I stayed at the Torcolo last month based partially on reviews from this site. I am happy to report that we were not disappointed.
The Torcolo is a simple hotel that, honestly, does not have any charm or quaintness in its appearance, but that is clean, comfortable and well located.
Our room was large for European standards with a big dresser and plenty of room for our suitcases and walking around. There was a phone. There was also a nice sized bathroom with shower. We did not get the breakfast as we wanted to save money, so we only paid E 90.00 for our double room.
The hotel is located just off of the piazza that is right in front of the arena, so we could easily walk to all of the major sites including the arena, the Castello Vecchio, the church, the gardens, etc. We were also steps from the wonderful main shopping street, and restaurants.
The service was friendly and professional. We received a wake-up call on request, and a cab was called for us to get to the train station.
For the price, this place cannot be beat. I would definitely stay there again.
I booked this hotel after reading the comments on the TripAdvisor website, and I certainly was not disappointed! My partner was dubious, but agreed as soon as we arrived that the hotel was wonderful, especially for a 2 star. You wouldn't get service and facilities like this for the same price in many destinations.
We had room 32, which was very romantic, and were told that we had been put in there because we were a young couple (obviously looking like we needed some romance!). The room was immaculate, as was the bathroom, with lovely low windows, and was much bigger then I had expected.
The staff were so helpful and kind, we had a really perfect stay. For breakfast we opted for going out to a cafe, to save money, but I would recommend this anyway as you get to mingle with real Italians on their way to work! What more could you ask for?
Great service
We spent 8 nights here and Caterina and staff were all terrific. You can't expect much from the facilities for a 2-star hotel, but the location, owner (Sylvia) and staff - especially Caterina made Verona a special place.
Ask Caterina for her favourite restaurants and you can't go wrong. She suggested Al Pompiere and it was so good we spent two meals there.
Children are welcome, and for excellent value, you can't beat Torcolo.
Beautiful place to stay!
Hotel Torcolo is the best place to stay when you are in Verona. We found it years ago and we always return: the staff is friendly and nice, rooms are clean, price is cheap considering that you are right in front of Arena... and cats are welcome too! Hotels like this is what you miss in other Italian towns.
Torcolo is excellent
Torcolo is excellent. Definitely deservers to be more than 2 stars.
Very clean and spacious. One of the very few Italian hotels that actually have double beds instead if two singles side-by-side. Staff speak English and are very helpful.
No Flaws Found
My wife and I stayed at the Torcolo on 10-9-03. We enjoyed the hotel very much. It was clean, friendly, perfectly located, and reasonably priced. We dealt with Caterina, an extremely conscientious front desk employee. Because another Trip Advisor User had commented on problems with Room 14, we asked to see it. Happy to report that the room was fine (no smell and no mold). We look forward to returning.
Friendly and helpful staff
This smallish hotel really near to the Piazza Bra and the Arena has no-frills rooms and the usual facilities, but the staff were friendly and helpful, keen to offer advice and spoke excellent English. See if you can get the deal without breakfast as this adds 20 Euros to the price and is not really worth it!
Only One Flaw
This hotel is a great value. We spent four nights in June 2003. The location is perfect, the staff and management are friendly and helpful, breakfast is good, and the price is reasonable. Cleaniness could be better (the showers were full of mold). The only serious problem is in Room 14, which smells like sewage. My daughter's room next to our's had no sewage smell. The hotel owner insisted the smell was a floor cleaner, but the floor did not smell. Otherwise a great place, I would stay in this hotel again, but not in room 14.
Just about perfect
We stopped here overnight on our way to Lake Garda. I'd booked it based on the other web review, and the Rough Guide recommendation. It was nearly perfect. I would return, and, what's more telling, I would recommend it to my mother.It's right off the Piazza Bra, just steps from the Arena and the best people-watching cafes. The room was larger than I expected, with antique furniture and a large bathroom (shower only in our room). The beds were comfy, and we both had a good night's sleep (though there was some street noise -- narrow streets and Italians on motorbikes).It has a lift.It's central to everything, the owners are friendly and helpful and will give you a map marked up to show you the best places to see. A great value!
A gem in the heart of Verona!
My husband and I came across this delightful establishment by accident and since then have been returning on a regular basis for several years. The Torcolo is run by two delightful ladies who make your stay a delight- Signore Diana and Silvia. The hotel is comfortable with a quiet elegance. It is in a wonderful location, literally a few steps from the Arena, and close to all other attractions. Verona is a safe city, in which I love to wander, and is a short drive or train trip from other fascinating towns of the Veneto such as Vicenza, Padova and is a wonderful base to visit Venice from. The ladies and friendly staff at the Torcolo are always ready to advise and assist you. I had to think twice about writing this, in case our little 'find' became too popular- it certainly deserves to be.

As we walked around the outside we could hear bits of the opera and pop prentations going on inside. A stop for cappucino and limoncello in the old town rouded out the ...

Psychology Student Wins Weinstein Graduate Student Award
Psychology graduate student Erica Holliday was recently named the winner of this year's Weinstein Graduate Student award. Funded by the Civic Foundation, the award is given annually to a psychology graduate student who demonstrates tremendous work ethic and research capacity.
The award includes a $3,500 prize meant to help defray the costs of the winning student's research. Weinstein plans to use the funding to help illustrate the causal relationship between nicotine and stress during adolescence with long-term learning deficits. Additionally, she hopes to discover the location in the brain where changes resulting from adolescent stress and adolescent nicotine happen. She hopes these findings will establish a foundation for improving mental health and expose further information about long-term learning deficits.
Holliday's exact research plans involve "completing a time course analysis in stress hormone levels comparing adolescent and adult rodents and how this interacts with chronic nicotine exposure." While the original research is to be done with rodents, the research findings have high potential to extend in application to human subjects.
As part of the award, Holliday will present her research findings on September 22 to the Psychology Department and to Roslyn and Stephen Weinstein, the founders of the Civic Foundation.
This is an important component of Holliday's curriculum, she said, because the process of presenting her research findings is as integral to the process in psychology as actually conducting the research. Holliday said she sees the presentation process as "an excellent opportunity to see [her] own research through the eyes of esteemed faculty members whose research focuses are different from [her own]." Post-presentation discussions have always helped to foster future ideas and refine the interpretation of the initial findings, she said.
If Holliday's research is successful in illustrating a strong link between stress, nicotine and learning deficits in adolescents, she has big plans to take her research to the next level. She would ultimately like to gain further understanding of what goes on at the hormonal level and add various interventions (like physical activity and dietary supplementation) to see if the learning impairment could be reversed.

In LBJ's 1967 speech endorsing public broadcasting, he says he has asked his advisers "to begin to explore the possibility of a network for knowledge."

Why everyone but public broadcasters is making federal policy for public media
The FCC's recent National Broadband Plan and its Future of the Media initiative have highlighted a chronic problem in U.S public broadcasting: The system has no long-term policy planning capacity, and therefore it always has had great difficulty dealing with the periodic efforts by outsiders to critique and "reform" it. Public broadcasting ignores most media policy research, whether it originates in academia, think tanks or federal agencies, and it often seems out of touch with major national policy deliberations until too late. That disengagement is highly dangerous because it allows others to set the national legal and regulatory agenda for communications without assuring adequate policy attention to public-service, noncommercial and educational goals. Such policy initiatives also can negatively affect the funding and operating conditions of every public licensee. This article, the first of two, examines the history and recent serious consequences of that disengagement.
Fred Friendly's solar-powered plan to give public TV independence
… Friendly began toying with an idea for a permanent source of funding for noncommercial television. In the spring of 1966 he began considering the possibility that synchronous satellites might provide the magic potion for the fourth network….

Radio gets in on the Act
The plan was for a Public Television Act with no mention of dusty old radio. Not everyone signed on to the plan. Readers' sympathies will be divided by this narrative adapted from Jack Mitchell's new book, Listener Supported: The Culture and History of Public Radio, issued in March 2005 by Praeger Publishers.You may root for the TV side or the radio side out of professional allegiance. Or you may instinctively align with the underdog, despite its rascally tactics — or perhaps because of them. The underdog in 1967 was radio, then a has-been technology that TV expected to leave behind.

Radio gets in on the Act
The issue had been decided, Fletcher said. Congress would pass the Public Television Act and create the Corporation for Public Television. To bring radio in at that point, he concluded, would "change the scenario."

Saudek's Omnibus: ambitious forerunner of public TV
When producer Robert Saudek died in 1998, his New York Times obituary called him "the alchemist-in-chief of what is often called the golden age of television." From 1952 to 1961, the product of Saudek's alchemy was Omnibus, a weekly that did what public TV now aspires to do, but on commercial network TV. It turned out to be one of the last but finest gasps of the Cooperation Doctrine — the notion that commercial broadcasting could ignore the bottom line and the largest available audience. [More on the Cooperation Doctrine.]
For the December 1999 pledge drives, PBS distributed the first-ever TV retrospective on the famous series, "Omnibus: Television's Golden Age," from New River Media. The writers are William M. Jones, professor of political science at Virginia Wesleyan College and author of Omnibus: American Television's Season in the Sun, from Wesleyan University Press, and Andrew Walworth, executive producer and president of New River Media.

Fred Friendly: 'a tough man but, my God, full of ideas'
Fred W. Friendly, the legendary CBS News producer who tried to bring innovation to public TV in the 1960s and later developed a celebrated series of televised seminars on major public policy issues, died March 3 at his home in New York City. He was 82. "He was a great broadcaster, a great innovator, a great friend of public television," observed PBS President Ervin Duggan in a release. At CBS, Friendly worked for years with Edward R. Murrow, producing many of his appearances, including the milestone 1954 report that questioned Sen. Joseph McCarthy's anti-communist campaign and the famous CBS Reports: "Harvest of Shame" on the lives of migrant workers, aired in 1960. He was named president of the news division in 1964 and quit two years later when the network carried an I Love Lucy rerun instead of a Senate hearing on the Vietnam war.

Having 'done the job,' Carlson will depart CPB
Richard Carlson, a Republican credited with defending public broadcasting from attacks by members of his party, announced Jan. 24 that he will leave the CPB presidency June 30 or before. He opposed overlapping stations and pushed new rules to limit grants to them–winning support among politicians but losing the backing of many station execs. He spoke up for objectivity and ideological balance in programs, while spurning demands that CPB take a more intrusive role in programming to detect and correct imbalance. He trimmed the CPB bureaucracy and paid a quarter of the staff to leave, changing its human face, with consequences not yet known.

Everyone's favorite western, Gunsmoke, debuted June 26, 1952, on the CBS radio airwave, starring William Conrad as Matt Dillon, and ran until June 18, 1961, making it the longest running dramatic series in radio history. While the radio show was still on the air, the television version of Gunsmoke debuted on CBS Television, starring James Arness as Matt Dillon, and ran for 20 years, making it the longest running dramatic television show in history.
This amazing audio collection contains 64 episodes from the first radio season, and are the live cast recordings from the original on-air performances.

"Flawed, but good, collection of the classic series"
The story writing, acting, and sound effects (hoofbeats, gunshots, crowd noise, wind, even the proper amount of silence at the right times) were always first rate, and set a standard for all radio productions, on par with the best movies and TV shows today.
Conrad's Matt Dillon and Parley Baer's Chester Proudfoot set the standard for James Arness and Dennis Weaver to meet, years later.
First of all, it's WILLIAM Conrad, not ROBERT Conrad! Both are excellent actors, but they are not the same person! This should have been the easiest error to catch, but it appears both in the written descriptions on the Audible web site and in the written information in the app -- and even in the text portion of the picture/icon used for the book in both places! This should be corrected, to give the late, great, WILLIAM Conrad due credit for his outstanding performance as Matt Dillon.
The longest-running drama on radio, and then the longest-running western on TV finally makes its long overdue debut on the big screen: the penultimate Western saga GUNSMOKE!
I previously purchased several of the Gunsmoke "collections" of episodes, which came in groups of 4 or so episodes at a time, each episode a separate "audiobook" Those collections seemed to include episodes from different seasons and/or out of order. I like the new organization of episodes in a whole-season format, with each episode a "chapter" of the audiobook for the season. However, one thing I liked about the previous collection was that you could read the title and original air date of each episode, along with a brief synopsis of the episode. It would have been great to somehow include that information in the new collection, so that the listener can locate specific episodes easily.

I loved listening to it as a child, and I still love it. It is perhaps the best radio series ever produced. I will archive it for a year and then listen again!

On July 11, 2013, the Second Appellate District in Beaumont-Jacques v. Farmers Group Inc. concluded as a matter of law that a worker's ability to exercise meaningful discretion in her job-related efforts rendered her an independent contractor, regardless of Farmers' input regarding the "quality and direction of her efforts." The court held that Farmers did not exercise the "control of the details" of the appellant worker's efforts necessary to create an employer/ employee relationship. As discussed below, the court held that the key consideration was the right to control the manner and means of how the worker performed her duties. The court further held that summary judgment was proper notwithstanding that some of the minor elements of the independent contractor test arguably supported an employer/employee relationship.
Basic Facts
Appellant Erin Beaumont-Jacques was a district manager for five affiliated insurers, and trained agents to market those insurers' products. Appellant could represent the five insurers and Farmers, Group, Inc. (collectively, "Farmers") only. The District Manager Appointment Agreement ("DMAA") between the parties governed the terms of their relationship. Appellant voluntarily terminated her relationship with Farmers in 2009, pursuant to the DMAA. Thereafter, she filed suit against Farmers alleging breach of contract, breach of implied covenant, sex discrimination, and violation of Business and Professions Code section 17200. Farmers then filed a motion for summary judgment, which the trial court granted. Appellant appealed the trial court's decision, arguing inter alia that whether she was an employee of Farmers was a question of fact.
The Court's Analysis
The court disagreed with Appellant. In assessing her arguments, the court stated that "the existence of an employment relationship… can be decided by the court as a matter of law if the evidence supports only one reasonable conclusion." Summary judgment would be proper if the relevant factors, weighed and considered as a whole, established that Appellant was an Independent Contractor – even if one or two factors weighed against such a determination. The "pivotal inquiry," as established by several decades-old cases the court cited, was whether Farmers had "the right to control the manner and means of accomplishing the result desired." So long as Appellant exercised discretion in the manner and means of fulfilling her duties, Farmers could retain "broad general power of supervision and control as to the results of the work … without changing the relationship from that of owner and independent contractor."
In applying the "manner and means" test, the court compared the parties' relationship to those in two similar cases where Independent Contractor relationships were found, Mission Ins. Co v. Workers' Comp. Appeals Bd. and Millsap v. Federal Express Corp. Both cases involved a principal that established work quality standards but did not control the "manner in which the desired result was to be achieved." Further, both cases involved an express agreement between the parties that the relationship would be that of an Independent Contractor, which the court stated "should not be lightly disregarded when both parties have performed under the contract." The court held that, just as in Mission and Millsap, Appellant exercised meaningful discretion over manner and means by, for instance, recruiting agents, setting her own hours and vacations, hiring and supervising staff, and paying for her own marketing and office costs. Moreover, the DMAA expressly provided that there was no employer/employee relationship. Appellant herself testified in deposition that she understood she was an Independent Contractor when she signed the DMAA.
The court rejected Appellant's argument that Farmers controlled the manner and means of her efforts simply because Farmers required her to conform to Farmers' "normal business practice," "goals and objectives," and "performance standards." None of these documents stated anything about the manner in which Farmers expected Appellant to comply with standards. Rather, the documents were "classic example[s] of setting of results while leaving the means to the Appellant." Farmers exercised no control over the time when, the place where, or the manner in which Appellant was to operate in carrying out the objectives of the DMAA, provided only that they conform to "normal business practice" and applicable law. Nor was the court persuaded by Appellant's contention that Farmers' right to discharge her created an employer/employee relationship. Appellant voluntarily resigned, confirming a mutual right to terminate the relationship, which demonstrated an "association, rather than the relation of employer and employee."
Reviewing the above factors that had been established in decades-old case law, the court affirmed the trial court's granting of summary judgment in favor of Farmers. Finding that Appellant was an Independent Contractor, the court stated that, as a matter of law, none of Appellant's causes of action were viable because she was not an employee of Farmers.
Why the Decision is Meaningful
The case cites to various decisions that are all more than 20 years old to support the conclusion, but it does seem to provide some helpful support if you are ever arguing for summary judgment in an independent contractor misclassification case. Furthermore, the case reiterated an important point that even where a few of the many factors that are considered in determining independent contractor status point toward an employment relationship, the defendant can still win summary judgment if the court concludes, after considering all the factors, that no reasonable jury weighing the evidence could conclude that the totality of the factors supports employee status. As such, this would seem to be a key case to cite in any summary judgment motion over independent contractor status.

"We had energy and effort in the first half," commented Abbot. "We got stops and guys looking for each other on the offensive end and we knocked down open shots – that was the biggest thing. I don't know if we had better shots, but we took our time during our shots and were focused.
"We realized that two games before that we missed a lot of open looks. We made it a point the last couple of days to relax and shoot our shot regardless if someone is there or not. Our guys did that today and it paid off. "
Abbott made his six first three-point attempts, and was overall 11 of 14 from the field. However, he couldn't find any profound explanations for one of his best games in a Sun Devil uniform.
"Players did a good job setting screens for me," explained Abbott pragmatically. "Sometimes you get open looks and keep on going. It's a snowball effect."
The level of play for ASU in the second half was in sharp contrast to the first. The Sun Devils were outscored 48-34 and their lead was cut to 12 points with just over three and half minutes left in the game. Abbott knows that when reviewing the game film of this victory, that the coaching staff will be spending a great deal of time on their second half performance.
"We've been trying to get back to that energy level and tenacity on defense," said Abbott. "We showed signs of it. Obviously we had some slippage in the end and we have something to build on. In the second half we couldn't find our purpose and we were lackadaisical on their shooters and they hit some of their shots to wake us up. We have to stop that."
ASU is 5-4 at the midway point of Pac-10 play, for just the third time in the past 15 seasons as well as for the second straight season. Going into today they are tied for 3rd in the league standings. Abbott isn't concerned about what this win may or may not mean to the conference race and chose to concentrate on the bigger, long term picture.
"In the Pac-10 you can go either way with a win or a loss, or someone else's win or loss," said Abbott. "It doesn't really matter where we are going in the Pac-10, as long as we figure out a way to win games, that will take care of itself."
Abbott's backcourt teammate Derek Glasser has been struggling as of late, and for the first time this season the senior (and a virtual four-year starter) was scratched from the starting lineup by Arizona State Head Coach Herb Sendek. Abbott acknowledged that Glasser's benching didn't only send a message to Glasser but also to the entire squad.
"It shows that (Sendek) is willing to play whoever is going to go out there and get the job done for us and produce," stated Abbott. "Derek did a great job responding to that and he came out and had 10 assists. He did a great job for us today. I was very happy to see that."
Over the past seven games Abbott is averaging 18.6 points and 7.0 boards and is 28-of-57 (.438) from the three-point stripe in that time. His season-high 29 points vs. Stanford on Saturday was his third 20-point game of the season. Needless to say that the guard's confidence is as high as it has been in a while, but as always he manages to put it all in the proper perspective.
"The basket is the same size," quipped Abbott. "(my teammates) are finding me and I'm hitting open shots. It's not like I'm going out there 1-on-5. I'm getting open and I'm lucky enough to knock down the open ones."

He can take out loans if he really wants to do it on his own, and it's not the end of the world for hin to take on the burden himself. Just remind him he should have some backups just in case and hopefully the rest will start to fall into place.

Yup, there's no point in trying to fight about it. Just tell him what you can do, provide the info for financial aid and remind him that he'll have to figure the rest out. Be available and give any and all advice he wants, but don't try to make him do it your way, it'll just backfire anyway, he'll be an adult and you really won't be able to make him do well or try if you force him into the school of your choice, ya know?

Additionally, colleges are a lot more competitive these days. Unless he is a really good student and has extra activities -- he may not even get accepted. We told our daughter what we would cover, and anything else she would have to get loans for. We talked about student loans and the fact that in most cases, a degree is a degree and will net you roughly the same amount of money in your field. So no matter where she gets her teaching degree, she can come out of school owing little or nothing or she can owe more than she will make in four years... it's up to her. Once we laid everything out, she saw things a little more clearly. Good luck! :)

If your student's grades are good enough, colleges offer scholarships or grants along with the acceptance letter so that the actual cost is lower than the tuition 'as advertised.' That's not to say that the cost still isn't outrageously expensive.
A co-worker's daughter was accepted at both a state school and private school. Both have outstanding reputations. She wound up going to the private school because the adjustments to the tuition due to her academic record made the costs identical. The usual length of the private university's undergraduate experience is 5 years, but the school has a famous co-op program, so she'll graduate with a foot in the door of the working world.
A lot is also riding on what your DS plans to study - not to mention the job market. Has he been on any college tours?

To whoever said Metroid, my friend told me he's gonna buy one for me because he gets a certain amount of discount coupons as well as first dibs on new games because he works at a Bestbuy.
And as far as Strikers vs RS, Strikers seems to be ahead by a bit due to easier controls and online. But, just the fact that RS is a point-and-shoot shooter catches my interest.
So, I've decided to rent Red Steel and borrow the Gamecube version of Strikers and a Gamecube controller from my friend for a week, and compare the two and decide.
Thanks for the help all of you, at least I got Super Paper Mario out of the picture and I have a better understanding of these two games, I repped everyone I think.

Cudahy Carolers find heart of holiday, aina hey?
In the best of many wonderful moments in "A Cudahy Caroler Christmas," Alison Mary Forbes makes her appearance as Trixie, a mousy librarian auditioning for Stasch Zielinski's Cudahy choir.
Trixie can't sing a note - until downing half a bottle of mango-peach schnapps. Suitably fortified, the real Trixie moves into a clothes-shucking burlesque routine that liberates her body and unleashes Forbes' amazing voice. Forbes may be singing a sadistic librarian's fantasy about torturing patrons, but her Trixie is also gloriously - and uproariously - free. »Read Full Article(3)

The charity at the center of the Jerry Sandusky child sex-abuse scandal halted plans Monday to shut down its operations and transfer its assets.
The Second Mile asked Centre County Orphans Court to postpone any decision on a proposal to shift its programs to the Houston-based charity Arrow Child and Family Ministries, saying it wanted to wait until lawsuits by the former Pennsylvania State University assistant football coach's victims had been resolved.
The decision "will better serve all involved as it limits further stress on the victims and avoids unnecessary litigation costs," Second Mile chief executive Dave Woodle said.
