Tampa Bay Lightning GM Steve Yzerman on why he likely sticks with No. 6 pick
Tampa Bay Lightning general manager Steve Yzerman has said all along it is "remote" that he will trade the No. 6 overall pick in this weekend's draft. Yzerman on Thursday said he has had some conversations about trading the pick, but he sounds more committed than ever to keeping the pick.
Not a bad strategy for a team that needs tons of organizational depth.
"There has been some interest in the pick, and our debate has been, first off, there are some players at the six spot that we like," Yzerman said. "So, for us to trade back, we would have to get something that, first, would make us real confident that how far we are trading back we would get a player we want. The more you move back, the less certain you are getting a player you would want. So, we would consider it, but the idea of going way back, there is just too much uncertainty because, around six, we can get a pretty good player.
"We feel there are good players in and around six. So, to trade it just because it's the sixth pick, I don't know if that's the thing to do. At four, five, six, seven and eight, there is a group of players in there that I don't think anybody predict which one is necessarily better than the other, and I'm sure teams have them in a different kind of order, but they would be happy with any four of them."
Who might the Lightning pick? The belief is the team would rather pick a defenseman (Brandon Gormley perhaps). But there is a concern Gormley and fellow defensemen Cam Fowler and Erik Gudbranson could be gone by No. 6. In that scenario, Tampa Bay might take a chance on left wing Nino Niederreiter, a 6-2, 205-pounder from Portland of the Western Hockey League.
Brett Connolly is an interesting player as well. The right wing from WHL Prince George might be the most skilled player in the draft. But he played just 16 games last season because of flexor injuries to both hips. Gormley even said today that missing so much time was detrimental to his development. Even so, he said he has not had any pain since March and that a good summer can make up some of the development he missed during the season.
On to other topics:
As far as potential unrestricted free agents go, Yzerman said he has spoken to the agent for goalie Antero Niittymaki, but doesn't expect to really dive into the team's pending UFAs until after the draft.
"Things are kind of on hold for the time being," Yzerman said. "I've got some other things going on here before I can make any commitments to anybody. So, I've put that on hold for the time being, and once we get through the draft, we'll see where we are with a couple of things next week before July 1, and figure out exactly what we want to present and what we can present and what we want to do."
About the assistant coaches, Yzerman said he has gotten permission from clubs to speak to potential candidates and expects to name the assistants in a couple of weeks. As we wrote recently, it is believed new coach Guy Boucher wants his assistants from AHL Hamilton: Daniel Lacroix and Martin Raymond. But Raymond could end up with the Canadiens. As for Lightning associate coach Rick Wilson, who has two years left on his deal; goaltenders coach Cap Raeder, who has one year; and assistant Adam Oates, whose deal is up June 30, there status is uncertain. Wilson said he has not spoken yet to Boucher, but understands a new coach wanting his own people. "I understand the process," Wilson said.
About the CEO: This isn't an Yzerman topic, but filling the position lost some urgency after owner Jeff Vinik decided Yzerman would report to him and not the CEO, who would be responsible for the business side of the organization and not the hockey side. Anyway, there are rumblings the position is close to being filled with an announcement expected after July 4.
Enjoy the draft, everybody.

After one of their gigs in London, the Stray Cats met producer Dave Edmunds, well known as a roots rock enthusiast for his work with Rockpile, and as a solo artist. Edmunds offered to work with the group, and they entered the studio to record their self-titled debut album, released in England in 1981 on Arista. They were popular right out of the box, scoring three straight hits that year with "Runaway Boys," "Rock This Town," and "Stray Cat Strut." The follow-up, Gonna Ball, wasn't as well received and, stung by the negative reviews, the Stray Cats decided to return to the States and make a go of it. They signed with EMI America and in 1982 released their U.S. debut, Built for Speed, which compiled the highlights from their two British LPs. Helped by extensive airplay on MTV at the height of the anything-goes new wave era, "Rock This Town" and "Stray Cat Strut" both hit the American Top Ten, over a year after their British chart peaks. As a result, Built for Speed was a left-field smash, and the Stray Cats were seen as avatars of retro style. Their second American album, Rant n' Rave with the Stray Cats, appeared in 1983 and produced another Top Ten hit in "(She's) Sexy + 17," as well as a minor Top 40 entry in the doo wop-styled ballad "I Won't Stand in Your Way."
Personality conflicts began to emerge in the ways the individual members handled their newfound success: Phantom married actress (and former Rod Stewart paramour) Britt Ekland, while Setzer made guest appearances with stars like Bob Dylan and Stevie Nicks and became the concert guitarist for Robert Plant's Honeydrippers side project. In late 1984, Setzer broke up the band amid much bad blood. Rocker and Phantom immediately teamed up with guitarist Earl Slick and recorded an album as Phantom, Rocker & Slick, while Setzer waited a couple of years before releasing his roots rock solo debut, The Knife Feels Like Justice. By 1986, fences had apparently been mended enough for the Stray Cats to reconvene in Los Angeles and record the covers-heavy Rock Therapy, which didn't sell that well. The trio returned to their respective post-Stray Cats projects, which both released albums that performed disappointingly. In 1989, they reunited once again for the album Blast Off, which was accompanied by a tour with Stevie Ray Vaughan. No longer with EMI, the Cats entered the studio with Nile Rodgers for the lackluster Let's Go Faster, issued by Liberation in 1990. 1992's Dave Edmunds-produced Choo Choo Hot Fish also attracted little attention, and after another covers album, Original Cool, the group called it quits again. They have since reunited periodically for live performances. Setzer, of course, went on to spearhead the '90s swing revival with his Brian Setzer Orchestra, which performed classic big-band swing and jump blues tunes, as well as Setzer originals. ~ Steve Huey, Rovi

Tenderly cradling his baby sister, Cole Turbitt was devastated when she lost her battle for life at the age of just 14 weeks.
Tiny Miley Turbitt fought for survival, on a life support machine, against severe heart condition hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
But on November 12, her fragile body gave up, unable to cope any longer as medical experts desperately searched for a heart donor.
Her death devastated her family including older brother Cole, who each night sings 'Twinkle, twinkle little star" to a star named after his baby sister.
Today, the youngster, who attends Harton Primary School in South Shields, wants to tell people how much he loves his sister as he appeals to the public to "please help" with his family's campaign.
Yesterday, the Gazette launched In Miley's Memory, a campaign to encourage more people to sign up to the organ donation register.
Download a petition here and print it out for your friends and family to sign.
They are also petitioning for a change in the system, so people are automatically registered for organ donation unless they opt out.
Little Cole said: "I love my sister. She had a poorly heart. We didn't find a new one and she plays with the angels now."
Although he is too young to understand the organ donation process, Cole knows it's important and says "please help".
His proud mum Sharon Eckert, 38, said: "Cole has been so brave.
"When we started planning the campaign, he just wanted to help.
"He is too young to understand it all, but he knows Miley had a poorly heart and we had been looking for a new one for her.
"He used to sing Twinkle, twinkle little star to her and he still does that."
"He has been to see the police and the fire brigade, who are supporting the campaign, and they have both been fantastic with Cole.
"They have really made him feel part of the campaign, which is helping him, but it is also helping us as a family. I can't thank them enough."

Even if you're miserable, you should be happy you're not in Venezuela. León Markovitz of Dadaviz has graphed the Cato Institute's World Misery Index for 108 countries. The index defines misery a lack of economic freedom: high inflation, unemployment and interest rates and low growth. To calculate the score, Cato's Steve Hanke added a country's inflation rate, unemployment rate and lending rate, and then subtracted year-on-year per capita GDP growth.
By this definition, the most miserable countries in the world at the end of 2014 were Venezuela, Argentina, Syria, Ukraine and Iran. Argentina and Ukraine particularly shot up in 2014, moving into the top five and displacing Sudan and Sao Tome and Prince. The five least miserable countries are Brunei, Switzerland, China, Taiwan and Japan. The U.S. ranks 95th, making it the 14th least miserable nation.
Misery is obviously very subjective, but research generally supports the idea that economic improvements are correlated with life satisfaction, at least up until a point. Countries that are experiencing fast growth and rising living standards also tend to report greater feelings of well-being.

PhenylKetonUria (fen-ul-ke-toe-NU-re-uh) is an inborn error of metabolism that causes an amino acid known as phenylalanine (fen-ul-AL-uh-neen), or "Phe," to build up in the blood because the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) enzyme is either missing or not working properly.
About 1 in 10,000 to 15,000 babies in the United States is born with PKU.1 Newborns are checked for PKU with a simple blood test, making it possible to diagnose and begin treatment at an early stage. If PKU isn't treated, high or unstable Phe levels can cause serious physical and mental health problems.
Treatment guidelines recommend that treatment begin as early as possible and continue through life.2 By starting early and managing Phe levels for life, most symptoms can be prevented or treated.

Pandemic rose to fame following its sterling work on war zone sandbox title Mercenaries and multiplayer shooter Star Wars: Battlefront.
Nothing is known of the title, though Pandemic's pedigree could point to some sort of free-roaming war title. At the same time, it's possible that the studio is hoping to spread its wings into a new genre.
It is noteworthy, though that EA's licence is with New Line Cinema covers not only rights to the films, but also to Tolkien's novels. A film based on The Hobbit due out in the near future, so it could be that Pandemic are handling the licensed game outing. However, with Tolkien's complete works available, EA's plans could be more wide-reaching.
Lord of the Rings fans are still feeling the disappointment of EA's decision to cancel it's Elder Scrolls Oblivion wannabe Lord of the Rings: The White Council.

It is helpful to note that I am coming from an E90 M3 for the past 3 years and E92 M3 Frozen Black garage queen, before that was an 05 E60 545i 6 speed, 01 E39 M5 and 97 E36 M3/4. Additionally, my father has a 10 X6M Dinan that I have a lot of seat miles in.
So my observations in no particular order ---
1. This car is FAST scary FAST.
2. This car is big; obviously bigger than my E90 & E92 M3s and feels bigger than my E60 545i and E39 M5
3. I think I like the E60 design/look better dont shoot me!
4. I wish the hood had a unique feature to differentiate it from other 5s.
5. The technology in the car is amazing not sure the Drivers Assistance Package is worth it the side and top cameras are, not sure about the rest.
6. The way it reads the speed limit through the connected drive is pretty cool.
7. What this car is recording about my driving is something I try not to think about.
8. DCT is amazing prior to my E90 & E92 all my cars had manuals and wouldnt go back for all the tea in China I dont understand the whole connected argument guys make, but to each his own.
9. The DCT paddles are horrible they feel short & awkward why they didnt use the paddles from the M3 & X6M is beyond me. They feel like the normal paddle shifters for a slush box -
this is probably my biggest complaint at this point.
10. I love the wheel button on the steering wheel so that you can see what is playing on the radio/mp3 etc.
11. Getting surprisingly good gas mileage way better than the E90/92
12. I love the two kick to open the trunk very helpful!
13. Piano Black FTW!!!
14. I like my Akrapovic exhaust, although not as much as my Eisenmann Sport on my E90. Normally aspirated is just better than Twin Turbo!!
15. I wish I had more seat travel I am 65 and my E90 gives me more leg room.
16. The HUD is awesome! A great improvement over the X6M and E60 545i
17. OMG, the brake dust is unlike any other car I have had.
18. All M cars should have an alcantara head liner!
19. See #1 this car is FAST
20. Oil, its drinking oil will be interesting to see if this lasts. This was not an issue with the X6M
21. Sakhir Orange is awesome; I get allsorts of thumbs up!
22. This Board is awesome for all the information and helpful tips!
23. I have a hard time differentiating a new 3, 5 or 7 when I see others on the road.
24. Glad I didnt spend the $$ on the B&O
25. Loving my Modulare B18s a professional photo shoot was yesterday!!
26. Big SHOUT OUT to IND for their cosmetic package!!!
27. I wish you could get the Carbon Fiber roof from the factory!
28. That's all I can think of at the moment ..
Please feel free to add to the list.....
Nice! I agree with almost everything here.
I especially agree with #3.
I don't quite understand what you mean by #7. The E60 M5 also recorded pretty much everything the engine was doing.
I agree with #9 as well. I liked the Paddles better in the E60 M5, they were even lighted. Instead we get the same shift paddles that are on the freakin F10 550i!
#17, yeah the break dust is pretty insane! Luckily I opti-coated my entire wheels with heavy applications of the opti-coat and most of the break dust now comes off with a a strong application of high pressure water.
#24, I don't agree with. The B&O was worth every penny to me. Especially since I paid way less for it by doing Euro Delivery.
#21, yeah sometimes I wish I had gotten a more bright color. My Sapphire Black definitely hides the lines of the F10, which are subtle enough. At least on the E60 M5, it had sharp enough lines that Sapphire Black didn't really hide anything. Sakhir Orange was on my list of color choices too. Maybe I'll get it on my 2017 F10 M5.
Honestly, I would forgive BMW for every mistake they ever made, if they just let us Americans buy the G30 M550d.

Self-portrait of Brittany Davis '11 at the Chamunda Devi Temple in Dharamsala, India.
Senior Brittany Davis learns to make a difference in India
More than 50 years ago, the Dalai Lama and his followers fled Tibet and established a "government-in-exile" in Dharamsala, India, with the permission of the country's prime minister. They remain in Dharamsala to this day.
UNC Asheville senior Brittany Davis, of Charlotte, N.C., was intrigued by this history, and asked herself, "What makes this society work? How do the Indian and Tibetan communities blend? What is the role of spirituality in their lives?"
Last, she asked, "What can I do to help?"
Bolstered by her interdisciplinary study of anthropology, women's studies and photography, Davis decided to go straight to the source—participating in a six-week volunteer trip hosted by Cross Cultural Solutions, a program likened to a "mini-Peace Corps" that allows individuals to volunteer abroad for anywhere from two to 12 weeks.
Davis' students played Pictionary as part of their English lessons.
For Davis, volunteering in India was an easy choice.
"I've wanted to go to India for many years now and was looking for a way to go that could really connect to what I was learning in school while helping others," said Davis. "This was a perfect fit for me because it blends all facets of my major."
In June, Davis traveled for more than three days to reach the village of Khaniyara in Dharamsala, where she began teaching conversational English to 13 young women as part of a women's empowerment group.
Davis soon discovered the difficulties of articulating her native language.
Even though our petals may look different, our roots stem from the same earth."
"Explaining your own language is tough," said Davis. "I would spend my spare time going to Internet cafés to learn my grammar rules all over again."
Despite this, Davis could tell that she was making a difference. "I sometimes doubted myself and thought I wasn't doing enough to help my students, but through teaching I discovered how much respect and appreciation they had for me," she said.
In Dharamsala, women must demonstrate proficiency in English to attend college and attain a job in the government sector. "To the women I taught, learning English equaled empowerment," said Davis.
Though modern technology was spotty and her teaching schedule busy, Davis took time to document her experiences and observations in her blog, "Cracked Earth Beneath My Day."
"We are learning from one another," wrote Davis. "We are not only here to learn English because that is what society needs, we are here to live in community and to share the similar and different aspects of our everyday lived experiences."
Davis continued, "Even though our petals may look different, our roots stem from the same earth."

Tue 7 Apr 2009 in 48,11:
In a field near Gröbenzell, just roughly 100 m next to the railway line from Munich to Augsburg. Zb was too lazy to really go there but couldn't resist to shoot some drive-by pictures from the train.
This does not count as a success, of course.
The Expedition[edit]
The Expedition doesn't deserve its name, because no one really went ex pedis (or whatever the real Latin words are).
Since it was this close to where I happened to be going on the train anyway, I couldn't resist to take these pictures. They clearly show some landmarks that give a fairly precise hint on what the surroundings of today's spot look like and make identification of the spot possible.
The reflection of my bike helmet in the train's window must suffice as a proof, I don't claim to have made any success anyway.
On the satellite photo, the spot looks like it's fenced off anyway and there are cows or horses within the fence. So this was definitely the safe method to do it.

A year after Raymond Davis killed two Pakistanis in a congested part of Lahore in broad daylight — setting in motion a chain of events that led to the death of a third motorcyclist who was run over by the SUV sent to rescue Davis — he is set to go on trial. On Jan 30, 2012, he will enter a county courthouse in Colarado, USA and enter a plea against charges of second-degree assault and disorderly conduct during a dispute over a parking spot outside a bagel shop on Oct 1. That Davis escaped a trial in Pakistan isn't really a commentary on the relative merits of the American judicial system: it is, instead, a small window into the secretive world of spying and the conduct of Pak-US relations since 9/11.
While the precise reason for Davis's presence in Pakistan may never be known publicly, what transpired on Jan 27 in the Mozang neighbourhood of Lahore is almost certainly linked to the shadowy war against militancy — and perhaps also the suspicions in both the United States and Pakistan that the two states have conflicting strategic interests. Davis is certainly a post-9/11 phenomenon: a former US Special Forces soldier who was inducted by private security contractors and then hired by the Central Intelligence Agency to roam the frontlines in the so-called 'war against terror' and push the boundaries between legal and illegal conduct in the pursuit of US security interests.
When Davis was released on March 16 after blood money was paid — by whom it still isn't clear — to the heirs of his victims, it still seemed like the entire episode could have been an aberration, a freak occurrence that got sucked into the vortex of Pak-US suspicions and anger. But in hindsight there were telltale signs that the stakes were much higher. On Feb 15, President Obama personally intervened in the matter, referring to Davis as "our diplomat" and demanding that the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations be applied in a case where its application was stretching the letter and spirit of the convention at best. Then, on Feb 20, The Guardian broke the news that Davis was in fact working for the CIA and that the Obama administration had prevailed on the US media to keep the fact a secret, ostensibly to ensure Davis's safety while he was under detention in a high-security Pakistani prison.
Through the rest of 2011, as the incidents piled up — the Osama bin Laden raid, tussles over drone strikes, then American military chief Mike Mullen's claim that the Haqqani network was "a veritable arm" of Inter-Services Intelligence, the Mohmand killings of Pakistani soldiers in a Nato airstrike, 'memogate', etc — and Pak-US relations plummeted, the meaning behind what has been euphemistically dubbed the 'Raymond Davis affair' became clearer.
Davis existed and was present in Pakistan because the US had fundamental doubts about both the will and capacity of Pakistan to fight the war against militancy. And the Pakistani security establishment was resisting the presence of Davis-type CIA assets in Pakistan because it was convinced that the US was seeking to do more than just dismantle the Al Qaeda network, perhaps even working to undermine what the army perceives as Pakistan's core security interests.
Davis's actions as an individual may have been an aberration — the outsourcing of its core activities by the CIA may have played a role by inadequately preparing men like Davis for responding to threats in a civilian environment as opposed to a military battlefield — but Davis the CIA contractor in Pakistan was a symbol of a deeper malaise: the US doesn't trust Pakistan and Pakistan is massively suspicious of the US.
Toward the end of 2011, and particularly after the Mohmand killings, the army establishment has been able to push back somewhat successfully against increasingly unwanted American 'intrusions' in Pakistan. But the Americans are unlikely to give up. The Pakistani or American people may not get to hear about it or see it much, but the covert struggles will continue, and they will likely be intense.

kurt_w wrote: See, for example, former NH state legislator and gun-nut Tom Alciere, who repeatedly advocated killing police officers. (As one of many examples, in 1998 he wrote a letter to a newspaper, in response to the murder of a police officer, saying "There's nothing wrong with wasting cops. They go around threatening innocent, random people at gunpoint, and they whine about it when one of us humans kills a cop.")
No offense to anyone or anything or their cousins, but cops do "run around threatening innocent, random people at gunpoint" all day long. I don't so much agree with Tom Alciere's sentiments, and I'll also go so far as to admit that there are some really good ones out there, and even that some of the shitty ones show themselves to be inclined to act decently every once in a while, if the incentive is right (i.e., a busty girl in the drivers seat, either that or a guy with a crew cut and some stupid bumper stickers)... But it seems like every time I turn around, those bastards are wanting $2000 or $3000 dollars from me for something, and I've never been in a fight, been caught in the possession of illegal drugs, driven under the influence, sped, or even run a red light. (Not when they've been looking, anyway, lol).
The problem is never so much as 'what I've done' as it is 'what I haven't paid for', and this figure has proven to be exponential. Whenever you get a ticket that you don't have any money to pay for, they set a deadline for payment and if you don't meet it the cost goes up; shorty after they take away your car's registration, and quickly thereafter they move on to revoking your driver's licence. Then you get another ticket for driving around with an unregistered car; then of course they always take the time to notice that you're license has been pulled as well. This is always right about the same time that I start to feel like they're all driving around threatening random people at gunpoint, - which they are.
Near Antigo, WI, I was pulled over in just such a way, given another quick $400 worth of tickets and transported 8 miles into town so that I could "call someone"... Of course I had no one to call, so I had to walk all the way back, hop in the car, after scoping out the nearest back roads, and then start up and bolt as soon as no cars were coming, just to keep from having my car towed (yet again)... (This is one of the worst towns in the state for getting randomly pulled over). Of course, this took a good 8 hours out of my day.
I have had my license revoked and reinstated in this way something like 6 times during the last 3 years (3 times during the last 12 months) and am considered to be a high risk driver despite the fact that I've never had a speeding ticket and never been involved in a car accident. More of this and I won't be able to get a license at all because of a manditory 5 year suspension the state might choose to enforce. However, even then I'll be forced to continue driving and trying to stay ahead because it's impossible to make a living otherwise. The worst part of this equation is that I could eventually see prison time for being a 'repeat offender'...
Currently there is a warrant issued for me because of these tickets in Antigo; while trying to get ahead, I could be pulled over at any time and incarcerated for at least 20 days or so (so much for my rent, job, etc...) I know this because it has happened often enough in the past (the last time I was stuck in the city jail for 35 days), and I am greatly dismayed. Furthermore, if I do get pulled over again, this means the cops'll be plugging me for yet another quick $4-500, and still have to go to jail, not be able to pay the new tickets because of not being able to work, and then face yet another warrent, just like this one. Do I want another 100,000 of them out there on the streets? No way in hell.
This tendancy on the behalf of the nation's police departments to target and take advantage of the poor (police stations collect something like $70 per day from the state for one incarcerated citizen... Uh, I mean, criminal...) is very discouraging to any of us who would be asked to think of police officers in a more optimistic way. I am no criminal, no drug addict, no pimp, no brawler, no drunken driver, domestic abuser, no sex offender... But I'm sure going to see a lot of these people whenever I get caught for my great and unforgivable crime of not having enough money to pay for all these tickets. As a non-criminal, I'm almost surprised myself to look back and notice that these cops are choking me for upwards of $2000 each and every year since I decided to get my driver's licence.
Almost. However, the policies all start to become very clear when you're stuck playing checkers with Snoop Doggy Dogg's pimping midwestern cousin all day long. TIME IS MONEY. TIME ... is money. Think about it. For anybody who's ever had to get arrested unfairly (either for something they didn't do or by virtue of yet another of society's many oversights...) these sentiments of Mr. Alciere's ring very true. It's an invasion, a violation, an outrage. After that point, even the entirity of his callous phrase starts to make a lot of sense.
Beautiful individuals rarely become police officers. How could they with these policies, and worse, their quotas? Police science is a rather discriminatory study, I would say, and I shudder to think what they teach some of these officers in training, and to see the results either up close and personal or on the streets in places like Seattle a couple years back. Storm troopers with halos, that's what it ammounts to. I should start taking collections, LOL.

text: I was curious if anyone could shed some light on this for me. I want to upgrade to the Razor M but I am not eligible until 9/21. I called Verizon and they told me that they could not push up my upgrade date to purchase this phone. They also told me that currently the only place to order the phone was from Verizon through Pre order. They said that I could not order it over the phone or at a store yet. My question is if anyone has anyone dealt with a situation like this before? I am concerned that after the preorder date that the 99.99 price will go up. Since I am not eligible until the 21st that means I would miss out on the pricing. I am hoping that the price stays like this even after the preorder date. ANy help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

MOSCOW – The NHK Trophy, the fourth event of the 2011-2012 figure skating Grand Prix series, will go ahead as scheduled in Sapporo in November, the International Skating Union said Saturday.
The ISU also said the World Team Trophy in Yokohama will proceed next April after it was postponed this year because of the March 11 earthquake and tsunami that devastated northeastern Japan and triggered a nuclear crisis.
The World Team Trophy was initially scheduled to be held earlier this month. The world championships were also supposed to be held in Tokyo from March 21-27 but were relocated to Moscow because of the quake.

Tobias is the fourth and current holder of the Gerrit Noordzij Prize, which was presented to him in 2006. Every few years, the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague celebrates an individual for his "unique contributions to type design, typography, and type education," qualities which honor both the recipient and the prize's namesake: Gerrit Noordzij, as an instructor, a designer, and a type designer, has influenced generations of typographers, and has been singularly instrumental in establishing typography as a realm for disciplined, critical thinking.
This Friday, the prize passes to the next recipient, an occasion marked by two festivities: Wim Crouwel will receive the 2009 prize, and the Royal Academy will open an exhibit of Tobias's work. If it's any indication of the scope of the show's contents, let me just say that even I was surprised by some of the things Tobias pulled from the files; it is an exhibit not to be missed.
The exhibit opens this Friday, March 6, and runs through Saturday, March 28, in the KABK Galerie. —JH

Stauffer, Ezra (1898-1955)
The Stauffer family moved from Nebraska to the Tofield district of Alberta in the spring of 1913. Here Ezra Stauffer was converted and baptized in the Salem Amish Mennonite Church. After a year of study at the nearby Bardo High School, Ezra continued his studies, until 1920, at the Hesston Academy in Hesston, Kansas. He and Irene served briefly with a mission in Portland, Oregon, in 1924, but spent most of their married lives in the Tofield district. In the Salem congregation Ezra served for many years as Sunday School Superintendent.
In 1945 Ezra Stauffer was invited to consider service as a minister in the West Zion Mennonite Church near Carstairs. He was selected by lot, ordained on 28 June 1945, and the family moved to Carstairs. But he was unable to find a viable occupation to earn sufficient money to support himself, and in the spring of 1948 he requested a release from his assignment in Carstairs. He returned to Tofield, married a second time, and served the Salem congregation as a minister until the time of his death. He was one of the regular and highly influential teachers in the Winter Bible School and also accepted invitations to teach short Bible courses, usually on Bible prophecies, at Mennonite Bible Schools in Ontario and Oregon. He also served for twenty years as the historian of the Alberta-Saskatchewan Mennonite Conference compiling a substantial amount of congregational and biographical material which was, however, only published by the conference after his death. He was affected with a heart condition from the spring of 1950 and suffered a fatal heart attack in 1955.

I'm wondering if anyone else has this problem? Period normal length (heavy), but I'm realizing I take ibuprofen for cramps probably 25 out of 30 days of each month. I've had it in for over a year. Previously I had the 5-year Multi-load375 and didn't have problems with cramps this much (still had crampiness but not most days).
I'm don't want to have it removed, First of all--it hurts going in and coming out! Second, I love the 9--more years of worry free birth control. I just had an ultrasound; everything is placed correctly, no abnormalities.
Starting to wonder if all this ibuprofen will hurt me at some point though.
Thoughts? Thanks everyone--Oh, I have not had nor want children and I'm 40. My sister who also has Paraguard says she also gets random cramps throughout the month but not enough to require ibuprofen--she's had four kids though.
p.s. What's the experience with this cervix-softening medication to make insertion less painful--does it work for removal? My doctor never heard of it.
Hi schneiderpants and welcome to Mothering! I haven't had this problem but noticed your post and wanted to bump it up for attention.
Anyone have input to share?

While on vacation at my in laws beach house in North Carolina and also while in Antigua I noticed I was getting brown patches that looked like a mustache above my upper lip. When I got home it slowly faded, even after I had continued to be in the sun (I do always use sunblock). This year we went back to Antigua and the brown patches increased and seemed darker. I went to a dermotologist and found out I have Melasma caused by birth control pills. I have stopped using the pills and have been using a lightening cream.
It is summer and I miss being able to go to the beach or outside for a gathering with friends. The doctor told me to stay out of the sun or it would return.
I live in NY and have never seen the mustache appearance here- only when I was in Antigua and NC. Does the stronger sun there affect Melasma more or would it appear again if I was in the sun in NY? Thanks so much for your help and advice!

Hello I am new in SQL programing and I have a problem. I would like to monitor the new records which is inserted into an SQL table. I found some solution which mentioned a queue (log) table which can be filled by a trigger. The client would read from that queue table, and delete the readed data. I think this solution can work with only one client. But I would have more than one client at the same time, and I do not know how I can delete the data from the queue table. I can make queue table for every client, but I think this is not a nice solution. I am affraid of lost client.... I am intrested in every solution which can solve my problem. Any help would is appreciated. Thanks Ferenc Banhidi

Replacing a reel seat/uplocking hardware
This is not really about building a rod nor am I a rod builder, but I figured this would be the best location to ask this question:
About a year ago, I bought a nice 8ft 5wt bamboo rod from a gentleman in TN. The hardware is good, it casts well (although a bit slower than I'm used to but that's good). The one ding I have on it is the uplocking hardware. the tolerance between the reel seat band (?) and the fine threads is very tight. No play whatsoever. So, when I fished with it, I torqued down the uplocking nut. I couldn't get it off because the tolerance is so tight that it wedged the back of the band on the threads and would not come off. It took a screw driver and a hammer to remove it so I could get the reel off.
I like the look of the reel seat, it matches the pale blond blank really well. I'm NOT happy with the uplocking. I've discussed this with a buddy who builds rods (not bamboo) and he said he MIGHT be able to replace it. I can't get in touch with the builder (lost his contact info).
Is it possible to remove the seat and uplockhardware from the handle and not damage the rod? I'm OK with a new reel seat, but I don't want to destroy anything in the handle or the blank.
Any info would be appreciated.
Re: Replacing a reel seat/uplocking hardware
The first thing that I'd try is a little candle wax on the threads to see if it was possible to tighten up the ring without torquing it out of position.
(Just as if you were waxing a tent zipper)
Other wise, if I understand this correctly, the top of the seat is indented into the cork grip ?
That would be a matter of replacing a single cork ring along with the seat.
Not nearly as simple as changing out just the seat, but it's not that big of a deal either.
Re: Replacing a reel seat/uplocking hardware
I am in the process of doing this on a graphite rod as an exploration into rod building.
The SINGLE experience I have and what I found out before undertaking it was that you are going to probably loose/replace the cork that is over the top side receiver on the uplocking system. There doesn't seem to be a way to get it out without destroying the cork. Other than that the process is pretty simple.
It might be possible to find a new uplocking set up that would match up with that one little piece you can't get to. I THINK that would work fine, so long as all the pieces fit togeather correctly or if the pieces could be altered to fit togeather correctly.
There are a lot of people in hear you should listen to other than me. Post up what you find, if you would. Am really curious about this.
Re: Replacing a reel seat/uplocking hardware
Depending on what glue he used, you might be able to heat the seat and remove all but the hood (if it is inletted into the handle). Common practice is to put the seat in a plastic bag and place it in boiling water. After a bit you can try to remove the seat. Do not twist the seat as you can damage the blank. Especially bamboo, it can de-laminate. I am sure I am not telling your builder buddy anything he already doesn't know.
Glues like your two part Urac-185 use heat to set it and it is very tough after it is set. So you might not have an issue with de-limation due to heat. If the bamboo blank was glued up with something like Titebond III de-lamination could be an issue.
If you remember the builder's name, first or last, shoot me a PM. I am on a Bamboo builder's mailing list and can put out an SOS.

Bixby Woman Arrested After Kidnapping Infant
Police have arrested a 31-year-old woman on kidnapping charges after an incident that led to an Amber Alert earlier this week.
Bixby resident Natasha Hoch was arrested Monday evening after taking an infant, Justice Poindexter, from his father from their home at the 11800 block of S 87th E Ave. Hoch and the father were reportedly roommates.
The father, Joshua Andre, allowed Hoch to live there in a separate room and in return she would baby sit his son. According to the booking report, Andre and Hoch were not in a relationship.
Channel 8 was at the scene when Bixby Police found Hoch and the boy at the Kum N Go off Riverside Dr. and the Creek Turnpike.
according to the booking report, a woman with Hoch stated they were returning the vehicle and Poindexter when they heard the alert. The woman called the police from the Kum N Go.
The boy's father said he came home from work, found his house ransacked and Poindexter was missing.
After the Amber Alert was issued, a woman called police saying Hoch had told her the car was probably stolen and the child kidnapped. The woman had met Hoch through an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.
Hoch was arrested for kidnapping, larceny from a house and larceny of or from an auto. She is due in court on Feb. 20.

One room, many uses
Patty Berge converts her eighth-grade science classroom to suit multiple instructional methods. A classroom profile.
The black lab tables in Patty Berge's eighth-grade science classroom are pushed together in pairs to form centers for studying measurement. Despite the room's strange shape, Berge has used the space to enhance her instructional goals. Her students, in turn, use the room's setup to manage their own learning and to work in groups. As the students arrive, it becomes clear that this is not a quiet classroom, but Berge likes it that way. Her classroom is arranged to encourage rather than discourage interactions among students — interactions that are part of her students' engagement with science.
Arranging the room for instruction
In Berge's classroom, the whiteboard and overhead screen are on the front wall, as they would be in most classrooms. The only problem is that the central portion of the room angles off to the left from the front of the room. So when she wants to do any kind of presentation on the overhead screen, she has to crowd all the students' tables into the small space near the front of the room. Berge would have arranged things differently. "I do use a lot of transparencies and visuals. It would actually work out better if it (the overhead screen) was at an angle, so it would get the whole room, but I have to shift all the kids to face this way."
The tables also have to be near the front of the room for demonstrations at the teacher lab counter. Students must be able to see either the table itself or the mirror above it. "If I do any models or demonstrations up here at the front of the classroom, for the kids in the back, I just lower the mirror at an angle and they tell me when to stop so they can see it. For some strange reason, they kind of enjoy the mirror slant. Even the kids up front say 'I can't see it, I can't see it.' I say 'well, you're up front, you can look straight up (at the table)."
The tables do not always stay in the same arrangement. "Usually the desks are actually set up differently. I do keep them in clusters, but I usually keep them closer to the front." But today the students are working in centers. "When we do centers, I spread them out and I situate the centers in different sections of the room so they're not tempted to wander and hang out with their friends. Right now, we're set up with four centers and each center is split up into A and B. There's no difference between the two, it's just a way of making the groups smaller. Center one is measuring length, center two is measuring density, center three is measuring temperature, and center four is student-created."
Along the far wall are five computers. There is a sixth one on a table near the front of the room, but its placement wasn't Berge's idea. "Since it was the newest computer, the administration asked me to just have it where I would control who goes there and take good care of it and keep it close by." When there are too many students who need to use a computer, some of them can go to the social studies classroom. "The teacher is really great if I run out of computers. They don't disrupt her room; they just go to the back of the room and use the computers." But most of the time, students work together on the computers in the classroom. "By splitting them up into centers, I can usually have enough computers for everybody and they work as partners."
On the walls are posters about metrics. "I usually change it with whatever the unit is. There's a little poem for them to remember their temperature. So, as we change units, I'll be changing the posters, so that it reflects what we're covering." It is only a few weeks into the school year, so there isn't much student work hanging around the school yet, but Berge makes it clear that this will change. "Right now we don't have any, but eventually any work that they do will be hanging up on the walls…and hanging from the ceiling."
The only bulletin board in the room is called "Pick your knows," and it displays students' questions about the topic they are currently studying. "So," Berge explains, "when we start our motion and forces unit, I'll have them write questions down and we'll paste them onto that board, so that as we go through the unit, they should be able to pick a question off and be able to answer it."
The angled part of the room has counters with cabinets above and below them. Berge stores the supplies she and the students will need for each unit separately. "We do a lot of centers and a lot of activities, so anything that we keep in a unit, I store it underneath so it's a lot easier to prepare for class and for centers."
Arranging the room so students can manage their own learning
When the students arrive in the classroom, they go directly to a center station and begin discussing what they should be doing with the other students there. They don't wait for Ms. Berge to tell them where to go because they have all the information the need available to them. "I have a rotation schedule, which I post outside the room," she explains. "So, when I tell them they are having centers, they know as soon as they come to class to check what group they're in and where they're supposed to start and where they rotate — it helps to keep the chaos a little down."
This is not something the students know how to do perfectly the first time. They have to be taught what to do. "This is the first time we're doing centers, so they're still getting used to the routine of checking where they're supposed to be, so it takes a while. At this point, they still need a few reminders of 'All right, get to your centers,' but it works pretty well." The students enjoy it, she notes, and they are successfully performing experiments. "Even though they're not tremendously complicated experiments, they do enjoy trying to find out the answer to the problem."
Berge and her colleagues encourage their middle school students to take on progressively more responsibility for their own academic lives by keeping them informed about instructional goals and assignments. "On the left side of the board is the daily agenda, what's going on, and their homework. And then the second bulletin board is where they keep track of their homework from all their classes, including science. And usually at the end of the day we review all the homework and they check their assignment notebooks."
As you walk into the classroom, there are folders hanging at eye-level on the right-hand wall. There is a folder for each class to turn in papers to be graded. On the left, there is a more complex arrangement. Grades are posted here every two weeks. There is also a crate for each period containing a folder for each student; the folders contain the students' portfolios, as well as any handouts they miss when they are absent. "If they're absent…they know to come directly to the folder the next day."
Returned papers go into a tray that has been designated for each class. One student in each class is in charge of returning papers. "Students at the beginning of the year applied for jobs and one of the jobs is to hand out the papers. Another one's job is to take attendance every day. Every quarter, they rotate so that everybody gets a different chance. Instead of being paid money, they get extra credit points. So, they're very helpful, they take the attendance, they pass our graded papers, and take care of the animals, and also fill out the homework chart."
Room arrangement and classroom management
The jobs that students do also help with classroom management. "I've noticed, that the kids who have a tendency to be disruptive, if they have a job and they feel like they have a responsibility, they're more focused. They want to keep the job, so they try to behave."
This is indicative of Berge's attitude toward classroom management in general. She tries to be proactive about student behavior by arranging the room so that students are both involved in learning and away from distractions. "I usually keep them grouped in fours, I just have them angled closer in toward the front of the room." Sometimes she spreads them out two-by-two, in rows, "but I find it's more of a hassle because we do a lot of cooperative work together. They work in groups, so it's a lot easier to just have them grouped."
But she doesn't give students total freedom when it comes to seating. "At the beginning of the year, I do let them sit where they want to, but it's just to see where the trouble spots will be and then I assign them seats. They will get an option towards the end of the year, if I've noticed that they can be responsible, to sit with friends, but as soon as it degrades, we go back to assigned seats." Learning is the first priority.
Berge is quick to note that room arrangement is only part of what it takes to help students behave appropriately. "Really, the room arrangement is having them separated from their friends where they're more likely to talk, or having them closer to the front. But really if I can get them engaged — and that's the hardest part, getting them engaged — they're less likely to be a disruption." She laughs. "I'm still working on that one." That one, of course, is what good teachers are always working on, whether they are first-year teachers or twenty-year veterans. Patty Berge has managed to create a classroom space that enhances instruction, fosters student independence and helps students stay engaged in a lively process of learning with their peers.

Loch Morar, Scotland
Coordinates: 56 57 N 5 40 W
Depth: 1, 017 feet (310 m)
Sure, Loch Ness and the rumors of its resident mythical monster tend to grab all of the attention, but Scotland actually contains dozens of these glacially-formed bodies of water. Loch Morar, not far from the Isle of Skye in the Northern Highlands, serves as a particularly good example, given that it holds the title of deepest freshwater body in Great Britain and Ireland. Not to mention that Morar's 12-mile length has also produced numerous eyewitness accounts of another strange serpentine creature, known locally as Morag.
Potential visitors undeterred by superstition should know that the lake can be kayaked or canoed, but take note: the lightly populated, steep-sided shoreline doesn't offer an easy escape route should Morag's existence turn out to be more fact than fable.

A couple of weeks ago we explained the plight facing Harrisburg resident Jackie Wenrich. She was living next door to an overgrown property that also reeked of a decaying mammal of some sort.
The city promised to come out July 10 to clear it out, and as we found out on Friday….they did.
"And I was shocked. I was really shocked," said Wenrich. But what about the smell? "The smell's gone. The bugs aren't, but the smell is."
The city workers said they didn't find a decaying carcass, but Jackie is convinced there was a dead dog in the yard.
Jackie and some of her neighbors say this is better, but not best.
Elista Vennie and others would like to see the vacant house be boarded up.
"Squatters were coming in here and living, and they were doing drugs and alcohol and stuff in there," she said.
Wenrich says she is 95 percent happy. There is still some garbage sitting on the property, and she says the mayor told her they would come out and spray for bugs. Still she acknowledged the Thompson administration lived up to its word.
"Have to hand it to the city. Yes, I was very, very doubtful that they were going to come out, and lo and behold they made a liar out of me…and I'm glad for it."

ffmpeg slackbuild error for slackware 13.1

Since this relates to a SlackBuild script from SlackBuilds.org, the better place to ask for help is probably the SlackBuilds.org mailing list.
However, I am guessing you only did 'su' to root and not 'su -', which is incorrect. See Step 3 of the SlackBuilds.org HOWTO.
You'll laugh of my solution. Got this same problem just last night.
After execute the SlackBuild script, while things are compiling, I did open another shell, then 'cd' to '/tmp/SBo/package-ffmpeg/' and 'mkdir -p usr/man' :D
Well, maybe I'm respect the error too literally.
still build...i hope that 'thing' work... :D
update : it's work...sorry 4 my silly question. thx to sleekslack
I had the very same problem as el_jauzaa the other day, took me some time to figure out that you really need a true root shell ('su -' to switch to root instead of 'su') like chess pointed out before.
After that I was able to build the package without errors.
Wow, I was about to ask this question yesterday, but I just forgot to bring the error messages at the office. So the solution was:
I never thought there was a guideline for SlackBuilding :D
:redface:What an embarrassing. Using Slackware for quite some time now and
just knowing that I should use 'su -' instead of 'su' for SlackBuild script. :newbie:
I guess I should read more. :study:
Wow, i had this prob also. Only now i am going to take this stuff about 'su -' seriously. :)

In a way, it is fitting that the final 7-on-7 round robin between the four Killeen ISD schools will take place at Harker Heights on Tuesday.
To this point, the Knights have seemingly earned home field advantage.
Heights has lost just once in the local 7-on-7 round robins, a loss that came in the first week against Killeen, which didn't lose to anyone that week.
Since that first week, Heights has gone 6-0 against its KISD rivals, building confidence and chemistry the entire way.
"We're feeling pretty good overall," Heights senior Josh Ellis said.
Killeen, meanwhile, hasn't had the same fortune.
After going undefeated in the first round robin, the Kangaroos haven't won a single game in the last two weeks.
"We feel destroyed," Roo quarterback Keondre Parker said. "Nobody wants to step up, nobody wants to play."
Parker said the offense has been able to move the ball but has been stalling in the red zone. The defense has also been unable to come up with crucial stops.
But Parker said the Roos' woes can be solved simply by having better chemistry.
"We're the only people that can do it," Parker said. "We need the whole team to step up."
Heading into the final round robin, team-building was a focal point for each of the KISD teams.
Shoemaker and Ellison have had an up-and-down last two weeks, both going .500 in the round robins over that span.
But the Grey Wolves and Eagles both said they'll be happy if they can continue to come together as a team as the offseason continues.
"Our goal is to be more of a team," Shoemaker running back Corey Wilson said. "Be a family."
So while the KISD teams will meet one last time this summer with bragging rights on the line at Harker Heights on Tuesday, the true focus of each team will be not on the opponent but the team itself.
Of course, it also won't hurt to get one last win against each of the KISD rivals before the regular season begins in the fall.
And Heights, fittingly, will have home field advantage.

There are now many years of experience with legalized abortion in the United States, Great Britain, and many other countries. We can therefore now consider and discuss this actual experience, as opposed to pre-legalization ideas of what might happen, in light of the Quaker testimonies.
We need to reflect on the possibility that abortion practice is inconsistent with the Quaker Peace Testimony due to being violence against unborn children, against their mothers, and against their fathers, grandparents, and siblings. It violates the insight that using violence usually causes more problems than it solves, as shown by disappointing results of pre-legalization predictions on such things as child abuse and the feminization of poverty. It makes abortion staff work in conditions of intense spiritual and psychological harm.
We need to reflect on the possibility that abortion justification contradicts a testimony on human equality in terms of dignity and respect because it singles out the unborn child as an exception. In many cases it treats pregnant women as unequal, and deprives them of support and accommodation to which they are entitled.
We need to reflect on the possibility that abortion language goes against a testimony on integrity because it requires dehumanizing or ignoring the unborn child, it requires applying euphemisms to the act of violence, and it requires misrepresenting or obscuring sexist pressures on pregnant women.
We also need to consider the rights of people with disabilities when it comes to recent advocacy and actions for both passive and active forms of euthanasia. Arguments are made in some cases that people with disabilities are not entitled to the suicide prevention services other people get. In other cases, such people are actually encouraged by others to regard their lives as burdensome and worthless. Is this not violence against people with disabilities? Does it not treat them as unequal? Does it not require dishonest language to obscure these two points?
Friends Witness for a Pro-life Peace Testimony wishes to encourage reflection on these points, as well as action for nonviolent and life-affirming alternatives.

I can not get this to work. I have phone numbers stored in a varchar() field as 123-456-7890. I can pull that information out, but it is not recognized when I sent a query to another table.
I have echo'ed what I am doing and the data is being pulled out.Example: echo $row['phone'] will print out the number.
When I submitt the data as a variable in a query is does not find records that are there. I have tried:
$dups = "
SELECT email, username FROM user
WHERE phone1 like '{$row['email']}'
I have tried to put the mysql_fetch_assoc() data into a simpler variable as $fon and it still is not found.
$dups = "
SELECT email, username FROM user
WHERE phone1 like '{$fon}'
The only way I can get it to work is to directly assign the value in a line as:
$row['email'] = '123-456-7890';or $fon = '123-456-7890';
This I can not do with over 1200 numbers. I need to be able to pull it from the table and use it to query another table. I also tried stripslashes() thinking that might have something to do with it.
what you want is a join query
this will avoid "pulling it" from a table and "using it" to query another table
everything is done with a single query
Thanks. I should have thought of that.

Beach Fossils' Dustin Payseur sets down his controller and faces the music
Escaping from reality, via plunging into virtual, alternate worlds, appears to be all the rage for musicians these days, especially when you consider the viral rise to fame of Lana Del Rey's hit "Video Games" and Dustin Payseur's preferred pastime.
During a trivial Thursday, the frontman for Brooklyn-based indie dream pop quartet Beach Fossils clicks away the afternoon with good friend, collaborator, and Captured Tracks label-mate, Jack Tatum, of Wild Nothing.
"We're playing a game called Snowboard Kids on Nintendo 64," says Payseur, a 26-year-old North Carolina native. "It's super nerdy. It's like Mario Kart, but on a snowboard. The graphics are awful," he concludes, unable to hold back his laughter. The lighthearted moment takes a more serious turn as Payseur adds, "I'm wasting my time when I should be working on my record."
The record he is referring to—"nearing its completion," he confirms—is Beach Fossils' highly anticipated sophomore LP, due for release this year, though the date hasn't been publically announced. Asked how the upcoming album compares to Beach Fossils' longer releases—a self-titled LP (2010) and an eight-track EP, entitled What a Pleasure, released in March 2011—Payseur says, "It's a little bit more of a challenge."
He elaborates, "I'm trying not to make something too similar to what I've made before or too far from the original idea of the sound … something fresh, something new."
Payseur has earned a reputation for expert execution of gentle and reflective reverbed vocals combined with wild, jangly guitar, and playful, reliable bass and drums. Unlike many of Beach Fossils' contemporaries that are largely synth-based, the band's sound is chiefly guitar-driven, producing the same dreamy, faraway feel as its electronic counterparts, while dishing out the rawest (yet most savory) of guitar riffs.
Taking into account the swift, yet enduring success of Beach Fossils, which formed in 2009, it is no wonder why Payseur sees this next album as a challenge, or what he refers to as "a balance of your creativity and what you want to do versus what you feel like maybe you should be putting out." He immediately adds, "Not to say I ever compromise—I would never put out something that I wasn't proud of."
He and his Brooklyn bandmates—John Peña (bass), Tom Gardner (drums), and Zachary Cole Smith (guitar)—leave little up to the imagination, but a whole lot to look forward to, in terms of what to expect from their show at The Catalyst Atrium on Wednesday, May 16. To get an accurate sense of what the band is like on and off the stage, check out two music videos directed by Ian Perlman: "Shallow" (the persistently dancy single, released on Valentine's Day this year) and "Twelve Roses" (the more quirky, surf pop track off Beach Fossils' self-titled debut).
The first video is a combination of Payseur's candid footage of the band's most intimate and goofiest moments on tour—band members are depicted flossing teeth, somersaulting on rugs, walking behind a ferret on a purple leash, and reflected in a hotel mirror in which they themselves presumably wrote "Bitch Fossils!"—plus Perlman's footage of the band performing live. The exuberant Payseur is last seen glowing under stage lights while crowd-surfing a packed venue.
In the black and white video for "Twelve Roses," Payseur jumps into the rowdy crowd at 285 Kent Ave in Brooklyn, N.Y., and ends the performance—and not to mention steals fans' hearts forever—by declaring, "We're Beach Fossils. We love you so much."
One thing is clear, after watching these videos, standing still is not an option at a Beach Fossils show. "We move around a lot on stage, so we encourage the audience to move around as well," says Payseur. "Growing up, I played in punk bands … it's customary [to dance], like how in some cultures you're supposed to burp after a meal to show that you liked it—I feel the same way when people are moving around instead of standing."
Beach Fossils plays at 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 16, at The Catalyst Atrium, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. Tickets are $12/adv, $15/door. For more information, call 423-1338.

However I'm getting nothing back from the port, I've posted infor on the RPi forum, ( http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewt ... 37&t=15755 ) however still waiting for answers.
1) Yes I have a Pull up resistor in Place,
2) Yes I have an Oscilloscope,
Using the code in
$ sudo ./Adafruit_DHT, the responce I get back is:
- Code: Select all | TOGGLE FULL SIZE
pi@raspberrypi ~/Adafruit-Raspberry-Pi-Python-Code/Adafruit_DHT_Driver $ sudo ./Adafruit_DHT 22 4
Using pin #4
Data (0): 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0
Here are the oscillsope traces:
https://picasaweb.google.com/1132605127 ... directlink
So clearly the pin goes low and then comes back up high, though the routine doesn't appear to pul back the data
I've tried different pins - no different, and I;ve tried other routines to do other things using the same pin and they work OK.
I've tried 5V and linked both pins 3 and 4 to gnd (see comments here: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10167 )
Any ideas?
Thanks, Worcester

The Ninjas struck from the shadows in the BR 1,999, routing the Bat Knights that held sway at the moment. The Ninjas brought with them a lethal weapon known as a katana, whose terrifying power would make the enemy halt and go "Katanas are totally awesome!" instead of defending themselves from said weapon.
Ninjas enjoy makeing new types of weapons which are only effective when used by other ninjas. One example of this is the throwing star, which while in many ninja movies is quite deadly, In real life it is unlikely to even give somebody more than a minor laceration. How this is accomplished is currently unknown. Some ninjas have taken this skill tho the extreme, useing doughnuts or cookies as throwing stars and still manageing to pown all in thier path
The nemesis of the Ninjas are the Pirates. These two factions hold a terrible hatred for each other, and constantly battle to prove which side is more awesome. As with pirates, there are generally two types of Ninjas -- regular ones and Space Ninjas.
Space Ninjas
Space Ninjas are like regular ones, except they have better teknology and weapons. They travel the stars doing Space versions of whatever ninjas normally do. You know, like Space-assassinating people and getting Space-involved in the Space-drug trade. No one knows where their homeworld is or why they kill certain people or what their motives are. All that's known is that most people love them since they usually bring chaos and terror wherever they go.

BERLIN TOWNSHIP -- A woman suffered a "vicious" attack and her husband is charged with felonious assault for an incident yesterday morning, according to the Erie County Sheriff's Office.
Jeremy P. Gallant, 26, of 5820 Hill Road, Berlin Township, was arrested in Lorain County for the attack that left his wife, Maria G. Vera, 22, hospitalized with wounds to the head and possibly the abdomen, Erie County Sheriff's Capt. Paul Sigsworth said.
Gallant's mother, Carol Heuckroth, 50, called the sheriff's office just before 11 a.m. to report Gallant was attacking his wife at his home, Sigsworth said.
Deputies found Vera had suffered multiple stab wounds from a screwdriver that was found at the scene, Sigsworth said.
Gallant had left the house driving Vera's black 1999 Buick Regal. Sheriff's Detective Sgt. Jared Oliver reached Gallant on a cell phone and convinced him to surrender, and Lorain County deputies detained him without incident at a closed gas station at the intersection of US 20 and SR 511, Sigsworth said.
Vera remained in "very critical" condition at Toledo St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center as of yesterday afternoon, Sigsworth said.
"It was vicious is the best word I can use to describe it," Sigsworth said about the attack. "She suffered multiple stab wounds, including to the head, from this screwdriver."
Gallant was cooperative and made a statement to sheriff's detectives, Sigsworth said.
"It appears this stems from domestic violence," Sigsworth said. "There was obviously some difficulty in their relationship."
Heuckroth was at the home with the couple's children, who are toddlers, when she heard a thump or thud from an upstairs bedroom, Sigsworth said.
She went upstairs to find Gallant attacking Vera, Sigsworth said. When she could not stop him, Heuckroth got out of the home with their children and called 911, he said.
"Carol called 911, she was hysterical," Sigsworth said. "She said she thought her son killed his wife."
Gallant began serving an 11-month prison sentence in March and on May 19 deputies brought him back to the Erie County Jail, Sigsworth said. It appeared he was granted early release and on May 24 he was released from the jail, Sigsworth said, citing sheriff's records.
Gallant and Vera, of rural Norwalk, were separated but yesterday was not the first time he and Vera had gotten together to see the children, Sigsworth said. Vera apparently had brought the children to visit Gallant several times since his release from prison, Sigsworth said.
Last night, it was unclear exactly what earlier case prompted the prison sentence. Gallant has had numerous run-ins with law enforcement, Sigsworth said, citing Gallant's criminal record.
In August 2010, Perkins Township police arrested Gallant and charged him with possessing criminal tools, breaking and entering, obstructing official business, criminal damaging, disorderly conduct, attempted breaking and entering and resisting arrest, according to records from Sandusky Municipal Court. Those charges were bound over for consideration by the Erie County grand jury, according to court records.
Gallant also made headlines in January 2009 when Perkins police arrested him because he was found in Baywinds Athletic Club while it was closed. Gallant is the grandson of the club owner, Carl Heuckroth, and he led police on a brief foot chase along SR 2 when he fled the club, according to an earlier report.
Gallant could face additional charges in connection with the assault and the Erie County Prosecutor's Office could present the case on Friday to the grand jury, Sigsworth said.

I am so proud to have worked for Pat Briggs and Michael Litfin at the Children's Theatre. The 2 and half years I worked at the Children's theatre were the highlight of my working career of over 30 years. In all that time I have never known such dedication, integrity, hard work and passion as that I witnessed daily with the Staff.
I wish nothing but the very best for Pat, Alison and Rich.I sencerely hope that the City will re-instate Rich Curtis and really allow the community and the theatre to heal.

"She'd welcome a full audit today," Pat Briggs said in the interview. Well, it looks like she's going to get it. Below is a quote from the PA Weekly's article on the newly hired City Auditor:-
"One of Lynda Brouchoud's (the newly hired City Auditor) first assignments will be to examine the cash-handling and travel practices and procedures throughout the city, with a focus on non-City Hall departments. She also will supervise a review of the city's relationships with non-profit support groups, an audit sparked by the Children's Theater imbroglio."
I hope the City will wait until Ms. Briggs is finally gone next January to release the new auditor's report. Then we can clean house and move on with new staff in charge at the Children's Theater. And hopefully with new procedures in place so a similar debacle doesn't happen again.

"Now, with an office across the courtyard from the Children's Theatre, Briggs is working with Arts and Sciences Manager Linda Craighead to select a replacement for Litfin out of the 91 applicants for the assistant-director job."
You mean someone who has diffulty keeping track of the CT's finances is selecting the theater's new assistant director!! I wonder if she'll ask the applicants if they can handle money honestly. I hope Linda Craighead is the one who is really in charge of this selection.

I began working at the Children's Theatre from age ten in 1969 until I was about twenty-one, first as a volunteer, later as a part-time city employee. I've followed the controversy over the past months with morbid fascination. Anyone who knows Pat personally knows she had no interest in embezzlement or other forms of malfeasance. I don't doubt that there was a degree of sloppy record-keeping and poor financial accountability. (Sorry, Pat, but anybody who's seen your office would fully agree with this.)
A responsible resolution to this situation would have been for the City to recognize that the position of artistic director of the Theatre should be separate from the business director, as was most often the case with the theater groups who occupied the adjacent Community Theatre. In my opinion, the City itself is guilty of having let the two responsibilities commingle for so many years.
Be that as it may, it was an honor to work with Pat and the staff with whom she surrounded herself over the years. Pat's life was the Theatre, and the Theatre has always been Pat Briggs. Thousands and thousands of children and adults are better people for her efforts, myself included. Thank you, Pat.

Let it be known that my first post was removed, but contained no foul language, no accusations that are not already made by city auditors. Let me state again, and perhaps I will be allowed to say "Good riddance!"

I currently have pgAdmin remember my password. When I get a connection failure and then try to connect again, I get asked for my password. Can we get pgAdmin to distinguish between errors due to connection failure and errors due to the password being wrong and have it realise it's a network error and use the previously stored password? I'm using 1.6.3 (Mar 23 2007, rev: 6112) on Win XP Pro (SP1) with postgresql version 7.4.5.
