Collective: Dealey Plaza, documents those who come to stand near the X that marks where John F. Kennedy was assassinated. This narrative investigates our use of photography in an increasingly digital and interconnected world, at the same time bridging the gap between the seemingly unrelated events that unfold at these sites. The show opens Tuesday March 11th and closes March 14th with a reception Friday March 14th from 6pm – 8pm. Unable to attend in person? Stay tuned for the live stream. From install to the closing reception, watch it all unfold via the web. |

FOXBORO -- Shaun Ellis knows Albert Haynesworth better than most. And when Ellis spoke to his former college teammates the last two years, Ellis could tell that something was wrong with his friend.
"I talked to him a couple of times over the offseason a couple of the years. I could just see he was very frustrated," said Ellis, who was with Haynesworth at the University of Tennessee. "He wasn't happy."
Now, after spending just over a month with Haynesworth as teammates in New England, Ellis is seeing his old friend emerge once again.
"He seems like he's very relaxed," Ellis said Thursday. "He's ready to go play some ball."
Acquired by the Patriots in a trade with Washington on July 28, the 30-year-old Haynesworth is ready to put two years of frustration in the rearview mirror and play football again. After two subpar seasons in Washington, in his words, it's time for the "sleeping giant to awake."
"For two years, I was kind of taken out of football a little bit," Haynesworth said of his experience with the Redskins, which included a public feud with coach Mike Shanahan that ended with him being suspended without pay for the last four games last season.
"Now, I'm back in it and am truly enjoying the game again, and I truly enjoy coming into practice or coming into work every day. Just to be able to have the chance again to play and to show what I can do is awesome," Haynesworth said, "Now, I'm in this system and I'm playing and practicing and stuff, and I think it's time for ... I guess, the sleeping giant to awake and to go back out there on my field and play football again."
"He is a giant. He is a giant," Ellis said with a laugh when asked about his 6-foot-6, 335-pound teammate. "Albert's a pro. Pro's adapt to whatever they have to go through. I think he'll be all right."
The Patriots would gladly welcome the return of the sleeping giant: New England struggled to consistently get after the passer the last two season, and while Haynesworth might not be a pure pass rusher who is going to deliver double digits in sacks, if he's right (both physically and mentally) he's the sort of defensive game-changer who can occupy multiple blockers and free things up for other defenders to get after the quarterback.
While he's spent much of the preseason on the sidelines, New England got a brief taste of what Haynesworth could do in a handful of practices in training camp, as well as the preseason finale. He was on the field against the Giants for 16 defensive snaps, and clearly tired as the evening went on. But it was obvious from that limited performance that Haynesworth still has the burst necessary to dominate the line of scrimmage, moving the pile and generally doing whatever he wanted to do against New York's backup offensive linemen.
Despite the fact that he has just one preseason game and a limited number of practices under his belt, Haynesworth pronounced himself ready to go for Monday night's opener in Miami.
"I'm feeling good. I talked to my coaches and they said, 'Since they day you got in here, you've been improving and getting better.' I still have work to do to get where I want to be, but it's coming along great," he said. "I've been out there practicing a lot, and getting the feel of the defense and stuff. I'm still a little bit rusty, but I had nine other years ... really, seven other years ... to help me get to the point where I think I can do it."
There's a reason Haynesworth talks as if he wants the two years in D.C. expunged from his record. To call Haynesworth's two years in Washington an unmitigated disaster would be an understatement. There was the run-in with Shanahan over how he was used -- he didn't like the 3-4 alignment Shanahan used, or the nickel defense on first and second down. (He wanted to play in passing situations in the third-down nickel defense.) There was the suspension and some off-field scrapes with the law, all set against the backdrop of a record-setting seven-year, $100 million deal.
In all, he had two disastrous seasons with Washington where he played 20 games and had 6 1/2 sacks.
"I just don't think that was me. I never had any problems at Tennessee, and just with the stuff around there ... I don't know," he said. "I'm not saying that I did most of the stuff they said, but just being in that situation sucked."
In his brief New England career, there's been no 3-4, and no complaints. Instead, he's been used predominantly as a defensive tackle in New England's four-man front, lining up with Ellis, Vince Wilfork and Andre Carter. They haven't seen much time together -- the only game-action they saw as a foursome was the preseason finale -- but Haynesworth says it's a dream come true to work with guys he's been following since he was a collegian.
"I've played with Andre in D.C. for two years and actually Shaun in college and Vince at the Pro Bowl," he said. "But I never could have dreamed or imagined that we'd all be on the same team and be out there chasing the quarterback and looking to kill the quarterback."
His new teammate Chad Ochocinco has referred to Foxboro as "heaven." While Haynesworth didn't go that far on Thursday, he talked about the world of difference between his old situation and his new one, saying the old one "sucked" and his new one was "awesome."
Because of that, he says he's committed to making it work.
"It makes a huge difference when you can come in and feel good about coming in the door (instead) of walking in the door and looking behind your back and all that stuff," he said. "If you ever go to work hating your job, you're not going to perform at your best. But if you enjoy coming to work and if you enjoy being around the people that you work with, you give it your all."

IL gas prices could go up as road group seeks tax tied to gas cost
Thursday, 13 June 2013 02:23 Published in Local NewsSPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) - Illinois transit advocates are proposing a plan to fix the state's deteriorating roads through a new tax that would raise the price at the gas pump, The Associated Press has learned.
The Transportation for Illinois Coalition says the $800 million dollar a year plan is necessary to get a toehold on needed repairs to roads, bridges and rails.
The influential group is pushing legislation to replace the current 19 cents per gallon motor fuel tax with a 9.5 percent wholesale tax. It would add about 14 cents to today's price of a gallon of gas.
Coalition co-chairman Doug Whitley laid out the plan for the AP in advance of making it public.
The proposal would also increase vehicle licensing fees.
Bill Fleishli of the Illinois Petroleum Marketers Association says the fuel tax would hurt business.
Metro transit workers authorize strike - could come next month
Wednesday, 12 June 2013 04:38 Published in Local NewsThe ballots have been counted and after two days of voting, St. Louis public transportation workers are unanimous in their support for a job action.
Ninety percent of the voting membership of Transit Local 788 gave a thumbs up for a strike authorization. Local president Mike Breihan says the International office still needs to sanction the job action.
"The largest majority supported the strike," Breihan said. "So what we do now is send the information up to the International. They make a decision on to sanction the strike or not. And then if that happens we will follow procedures and see what happens."
Breihan says the Union will wait to set a strike date until after a mediator issues his report in late June.
STL County Council reverses self on Oakville senior complex
Wednesday, 12 June 2013 04:33 Published in Local NewsThe St. Louis County Council is doing something it seldom does -- reversing itself on a senior housing development already underway in the Oakville area.
The move follows an uproar from people who live near the planned 45-unit low-income apartment building in the 6000 block of Telegraph.
Last year the council had unanimously approved the development by Ohio-based National Church Residences.
Tuesday night, the county council voted 5-2 to send the issue back to the planning commission so that area residents can weigh in on zoning permits issued for the development.
Several council members who sided with the residents say they don't expect the zoning to be revoked.

I guess when you start getting older, your mind and body begin to give you an entirely different perspective on winter. At this very moment I'm trapped inside my cozy, warm home, which, I might add, isn't a bad thing. But at the same time, it drives me crazy because I can't even get outside to clear a path for my poor dog Ginger to use the facilities. Trying to talk her into sitting on the toilet is all but impossible. Even with the temperature hovering somewhere between zero and a thousand degrees below zero, I use to march outside and shovel snow to my heart's content, without even noticing just how cold it really was. Oh sure, I would have icicles hanging from my beard, giving me the appearance of being a walrus, but that didn't really bother me. However, I'm sure that my wife didn't appreciate it, especially when I would approach her for a warm smooch or when my ice formations would begin to melt and run down the front of my shirt. Instead of running outside to rev up the snow blower, I have to wait for our son to come over and do it for us. He wanted to come out during the heart of the storm Sunday, and begin to clear away the many inches of snow that had begun to blanket our corner lot in paradise. But worrying about his safety, I said wait until the storm passes. Why I said that, I'm not really certain, since I had been doing the very same thing for years. But you know there is a big difference when it is one of your grown children who is taking the risk of freezing to death. Even though he is 20-some years old and a member of the Indiana National Guard, his mother and I still worry about him. I don't really remember my Dad worrying about me becoming a frozen TV dinner. Dad would just say, "Why don't you get busy clearing the snow out of our driveway?"Luckily, my wife has taken a week's vacation and does not have to venture out into the frozen tundra this week. She gets to relax and take care of me, cook the meals and clean the house. Did I forget to mention she also has to chase after our cat because he has decided to forget how to use the litter box? Postscript, he is soon to be our former cat. He is either going to have to find a new home, or he will set a brand new record for a cat using up all of his nine lives at one time.I spent most of Sunday arguing with the newscasters on TV. I do this a lot, but it always ends up being a one-sided conversation. It irks me to no end when they will say one thing about the weather and in the next breath, say something totally different. I would hate to have a job that depended on natural disasters or some other such calamities to happen, just so I would continue to be employed. Sometimes it seems that to qualify to work for a news network, you must have within your genes a little bit of vulture. If I could draw cartoon characters, I would create a comic strip showing two vultures sitting on a dead tree with a microphone in one hand and a script in the other as they looked down on someone's misfortunes.
With orders for all nonessential traffic to stay off of the roads so that emergency workers can do there jobs, why do we need the news vehicles driving around showing us that the snow is now too cold to pack into a snowball? Last evening, one of the weathermen had dug a snow cave and was lying in it broadcasting the local weather. He jokingly said, "I will add on a couple of more rooms so my colleagues can join me." All of this was being said while thousands of people had been without power for more than seven hours. Unfortunately, I have had to deal with the media many times over the years while working disaster scenes, and have come to realize that some people who report the news can come across as being somewhat heartless or callous. One of the most common questions that has been asked of victims of tragic events is, "Just how do you feel now that this has happened to your family?" However, I must give praise to the people who do give responsible accounts of important events that can affect all of us, especially during times of severe weather.
Oh, I'm so very happy now, my sweet Ginger was able to successfully do her business outside in the deep snow. Upon finishing what she had to do, Ginger quickly retreated to the warmth of her home, on my Duck Dynasty rug that lies near the fireplace.
Yes, for some reason, she has taken a liking to the "bearded ones," just like her daddy.
Well, we know that the sun will shine again and the temperature will climb once again above freezing, and all of this snow will soon be nothing more than a distant memory.
Over time, the stories will be retold about the January snowstorm of 2014, and just like other tales, the snow will become deeper with the passing of time and the temperature will drop five or ten degrees with each new generation.
People of Boone County, as you lay your head on the pillow tonight, think just how bad this storm could have been if it were not for "Global Warming" that is shaking this world to its foundation. Sleep long and peaceful my fellow citizens, for when we awaken, spring will be knocking on our doorstep.

Book Description:Continuing the epic tale begun in Book One of The Tamuli, Domes of Fire...Prince Sparhawk and Queen Ehlana must remain with their retinue of Pandion Knights in the Eastern land of Daresia to assist the beleagured Emperor Sarabian. The rebellion against Sarabian within the walls of the famed pearl-encrusted city of Matherion was defeated. But Sarabian's enemies will regroup and plan an attack that will be less easily routed. Trolls despoil Atan in the North, and vampires, werewolves, zombies, ghouls and Ogres form a vast conspiracy to take over the Empire. Most disturbing of all are reported sightings of Shining Ones among the hordes. These luminous beings inspire more fear than the rest combined. Queen Ehlana has taken Sarabian in hand and is educating him in ruthless statecraft - her skill in which has always inspired Sparhawk's admiration. The Pandion Knight meanwhile resurrects the Bhelliom - with Flute's help (actually, Sparhawk has no idea where it is, but Flute, fortunately, does) - and awaits the arrival of the full complement of Pandion Knights needed for the coming battle. The enemies of the Empire know that possession of the Bhelliom makes Sparhawk as dangerous as any god. But gods are among his foes. The outcome of the conflict is beyond the possibility of prediction...and while Sparhawk defends the far-flung Tamul Empire, he cannot also protect his beautiful Queen.

Reports of wild pigs being illegally released in areas of the Waikato is jeopardising efforts to control bovine tuberculosis, says TBfree New Zealand.
A small number of hunters release pigs to establish populations in pig-free areas for them to hunt.
TBfree New Zealand Northern North Island programme manager Brent Webster said they had received unsubstantiated information that hunters were releasing pigs in bush areas on the south western coast.
"It is disappointing to hear of these reports, considering the effort we put into educating the public about the risks of dumping pig carcasses and illegally releasing wild animals into areas that are free of the disease," Mr Webster said.

F-14 Tomcat Park Jet
Heres my latest contribution to the Depron park jet series, the Grumman F-14 Tomcat. This design is similar in concept to my other park jets, and uses similar construction methods and power setups. Like the other jets, its intended to be a semi-scale parkflyer that uses simple construction methods and readily available components. Here are the specs:
Wing area: 220 sq in Span: 40.7 fully unswept, 24.7 fully swept Length: 39.8 in Weight RTF: 22.3 oz as shown painted Wing loading: 14 oz/ft2 Motor: Himax 2015-4100 with 4.4 gearing Battery: Thunder Power 11.1V 1320 mAh Lipo Prop: APC 9x6 SF Current draw: 12.3 amps static Power input: 128 watts Power loading: 100 watts/lb Radio equipment: Berg 5 receiver, GWS Pico servo (rudder), Hitec HS-55 servos (tailerons), Hitec HS-81MG servo (wing sweep), Phoenix 10 speed control Flight controls: Tailerons, rudder, wing sweep The flight performance of this model is fantastic, and far exceeded my expectations! It has a wide speed range and excellent handling characteristics, and is very smooth and predictable in flight. It is very aerobatic and is well-mannered at both low speeds and high speeds (and with the wings both swept and unswept). Landing speeds are slow enough that I can easily hand catch it, yet the top speed is as fast as Im comfortable flying a sheet foam airplane, about 50 mph. But my favorite part is how well this model captures that distinctive look and feel of the Tomcat in the air. It sends visions of Top Gun through my head whenever I fly it ;-) If you havent already seen it, heres a link to a flight video of this model before it was painted (this is the same video I posted 2 weeks ago in the F-18 thread):
And heres a link to a short video of the model on the bench showing how all the controls work: F-14 Flight Controls Demo Because the F-14 Park Jet has a little less wing area than the other park jets (220 vs 250 sq in) and a heavier AUW (22 oz versus 18 oz), it needs a little more power. My F-14 uses the same brushless Himax 2015-4100 setup as my F-18 and Gripen park jets and it performs extremely well with this setup (21 oz thrust). But unlike the other park jets, I doubt the F-14 would fly well with a stock brushed GWS EPS-350C motor setup (15 oz thrust). However, if you want to use an EPS-350C on this model you can install a simpler and lighter fixed sweep wing, which Ill describe in an upcoming post. Keep in mind that this is the first park jet Ive built that required ballast in the nose to balance (4 quarters), so it will certainly pay to use as light a motor as you can! Steve |

Plans and Construction Guide
Here are the plans for the F-14 Park Jet. As usual, these plans consist of two files—a scaled assembly drawing that shows how everything fits together and a full-scale parts template. The parts template is posted in both tiled and non-tiled formats. Previews are posted below to show how the plans should look when assembled.
I've also put together a construction guide that provides photo illustrations and step-by-step instructions on how to build this bird. It's available at either of the links below. Please Right-Click these links to save the PDF file to your hard drive. Note the file is quite large (5.1 MB), so it might take a while to download. F-14 Park Jet Construction Guide (on RC Groups server) F-14 Park Jet Construction Guide (on parkjets.com) PLEASE NOTE: Although I have been very happy to freely distribute the plans and build manuals for all my previous park jet designs, the F-14 required so much more work to develop that I decided it would be nice to make a little something back for all the time and effort I put into it. I did not want to simply sell the plans, since I thought that would severely limit how widely the plans would be shared. So I decided to go with the voluntary contribution route. You may download, print, use, and share these plans as you like, however, if you enjoy them please consider sending a small contribution to the designer to show your appreciation for all the work that went into developing them. The suggested contribution is $10, and can be sent via PayPal to firstname.lastname@example.com. Thanks for your support! Enjoy, and as always, post pictures if you build one!

Fixed-Sweep Wing Conversion Parts
Realizing that not everybody will want to tackle the complexity of a variable sweep wing, I went ahead and designed the parts necessary to convert the F-14 park jet into simpler fixed wing sweep versions. Plans for those parts are posted below. Note that this model can actually be built 5 ways:
1) Full in-flight variable sweep As shown on the plans above 2) Ground adjustable sweep This could be done by building the wing sweep mechanism but not installing the servo or linkages. Wing sweep can then be adjusted on the ground by loosening the nylon nut on the wing pivot pin, and then tightening it down tight after youve selected the sweep angle. The advantage of this is that it eliminates the weight (1.0 oz) and cost of the wing sweep servo, yet still allows you to fly with different wing sweeps. Plus, if you prepare the fuselage for the hardware when you build it, you always have the option to install the servo later. 3) Fixed wing with low sweep For this version, you can eliminate the wing swing mechanism entirely and permanently install a simple one-piece wing. All the parts necessary to make this version are posted in the files below. This option will provide all the excellent maneuverability of the low sweep wing and eliminates the weight (3.0 oz), cost, and complexity of the wing swing mechanism. This is the lightest, quickest, and least expensive way to build an F-14 park jet! And if youre planning to use a brushed GWS EPS-350C motor setup and/or NiCad or NiMH batteries, this would be the best way to go. 4) Fixed wing with high sweep Same as option 3 except the wing is in the high sweep configuration. This version wont be as maneuverable as the low sweep configuration, but if you like the looks of the F-14 with the wings swept aft this may be your bird! Note that if you go this route you should move the CG aft 0.5 from the location shown on the plans. 5) Swappable wings Because the interfaces to the two fixed sweep wings are identical, you could build both and install a nylon bolt wing retaining system that allows you to bolt on either the low sweep or high sweep wing. I dont show this in these drawings, but I know it could be done! The diagram below shows how both the fixed sweep conversions look. Note that the only parts that need to be replaced are the wings, inlet tops, and inlet sideseverything else is the same as that shown on the original plans. Steve Edit #1: And now there's a 6th way to build this wing! For those of you that would like to build a mid-sweep fixed wing, I've posted templates and a preview pic in the post below: Edit #2: It was brought to my attention that a couple of additional parts modifications are required for this--to the strake upper and lower pieces. Revised parts templates are attached. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showp...&postcount=359 I've found that mid-sweep is my favorite wing position for general manuevering--it provides the great roll rate of the fully swept wing and the great pitch response of the forward swept wing. |

D.C. police introduce new bloodhound
The Metropolitan Police Department's newest member has a nose for detective work — just watch out for his drool.
Sam, the department's first-ever bloodhound, joined the canine unit this month and is expected to help officers track missing people over long distances.
Police Chief Cathy L. Lanier said the 2-year-old dog's strong sense of smell will be especially helpful in locating missing children or adults with illnesses, such as dementia.
"Sam can follow a scent that is several days, even weeks, old. He can follow a scent of a person once he's on the scent whether other people have traversed that path or not," Chief Lanier said Thursday as she introduced Sam to a gaggle of reporters. "It's pretty advanced capability for us. We do have other dogs that can track, but nothing like what Sam can do."
An animal lover with several dogs of her own, Chief Lanier beamed as she showed off Sam's tracking ability — hiding in a courtyard at police headquarters until the dog sniffed her out within a minute or so.
Sam joins 41 other canines employed by the department, but he is the only bloodhound and the only dog trained solely to track humans. The rest of the canine team — a mix of German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois and Labradors — have other specialties such as detecting firearms, explosives, drugs or human remains.
The department purchased Sam for $8,000 from canine trainers Sleuth Hounds LLC., based in Catlett, Va. Trainers there worked with Sam from the time he was an 8-week-old puppy, and once the department committed to buying the dog they also instructed his handler, veteran canine officer Sgt. Johnnie Walter.
Sgt. Walter, who has been on the canine team for five years, was quickly able to put Sam to work. Less than two weeks since Sam's first day at work on Aug. 14, he already has helped locate two critical missing persons, Chief Lanier said.
In one instance, Sgt. Walter said the dog successfully tracked a man who disappeared from his home. He led detectives 2 miles from the home to a recreation center that was the man's "favorite hangout" and eventually located the man about a mile from the center.
In the other case, Sam followed the scent of a missing person until it abruptly ended and was able to signal the end of the trail by placing his front paws on Sgt. Walter's chest. Police were eventually able to find the person on a bus that had left from the area.
"Because Johnnie had prepared so much, he was literally able to take the dog the first day and start to work cases," Sleuth Hounds co-owner Marshall Thielen said.
Chief Lanier said dogs like Sam typically work for about nine to 10 years before retiring from police work. But with the dog's good looks and sociable personality, she thinks he could also make a good mascot and expects to show him off at events around the city.
But, as a word of warning, Chief Lanier cautioned people who approach Sam about one of his less attractive traits.
"These dogs, when they shake their heads, spit goes everywhere," she said.

Question from Alucard80
Problems with humanity?
The game says you can get humanity by defeating bosses and using the humanity items that some enemies drop, however every time i defeat a boss my humanity count remains at 00, i haven't used any humanity item, but when i started the game sometimes i saw my humanity count go up by one, so i don't really know how does it work, because I'm hollow all the time, my humanity never goes up, is this an error of the game, or the only way to gain humanity is by using items?
Accepted Answer
Humanity can be acquired a few different ways, the easiest is finding humanity or twin humanity items scattered around the world. You can also gain it by killing hollow-type enemies though its an exceedingly rare thing from them. Humanity items are also very rarely dropped from all undead rat-type enemies, size doesn't effect the drop rate on them. Humanity can be gained by entering someone elses world as a white phantom and beating the boss of the area (what i think someone was trying to tell you) and likewise from entering someones world as a red phantom and killing them or killing a red phantom that enters your world. The last way is by using the orange soapstone. If you write a message it will briefly appear in other players games, if they rate the message the player who placed it gets 1 humanity if its voted up and 1 estus flask if it's voted down. Basically always vote up comments you see unless they are troll comments since it just helps people in other games.

Submitted Answers
I don't know who told you but if your a hollow or human & beat a boss by yourself in your game you get no humanity only if you beat that boss in someone's game as the phantom in their game, you also can buy some from this zombie lady but she will run out & normally they can be found as drops from certain enemies i.e. sewer rats or just treasure.

Mexico judge orders prison for suspects in killing
May 18, 2013 @ 7:57 pm
MEXICO CITY (AP) - A judge on Saturday issued an order for the imprisonment of two waiters accused in the beating death of Malcolm Shabazz, grandson of civil rights activist Malcolm X, the Mexico City attorney general's office said.
The resolution begins the judicial process against David Hernandez Cruz and Manuel Alejandro Perez de Jesus, who worked at the Palace bar near Mexico City's popular Plaza Garibaldi. The men are accused of theft and homicide, and are being held in a Mexico City prison.
Prosecutors say Shabazz and a friend were lured into the bar by a young woman who made conversation with Shabazz in English. They were later presented with a bar tab worth $1,200 and a violent dispute ensued.
Prosecutors say the men who beat Shabazz to death not only punched and kick him but also used a bat or stick during the attack. Shabazz died in Mexico City hospital.
On Friday, hundreds gathered to remember the late grandson of Malcolm X as mourners said Shabazz was well on his way to cementing his own legacy before his death at age 28.

No FA action against Ferdinand
Related Articles
Published: 13 March 2013
Ferdinand appeared to barge the Spain international to the ground before helping him to his feet in an off-the-ball collision which went unseen by referee Howard Webb.
However, a spokesman for the FA told Press Association Sport that Ferdinand would not face retrospective action.
The confirmation means Ferdinand will be free to play in the quarter-final replay after the teams drew 2-2 at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Goals from Javier Hernandez and Wayne Rooney inside the first 11 minutes put United apparently on the brink of a semi-final berth.
But the Blues hit back in the second half and Eden Hazard halved the deficit just before the hour, with Ramires levelling in the 68th minute.
The winners will face Manchester City in the last four but a suitable date to hold the replay has yet to be settled on.

Metal exchange: Classic Rock and Metal Hammer bought by private equity firm
Related Articles
Published: 02 April 2013
Some say the private equity industry is full of head-bangers, and today two leading rock music magazines, Classic Rock and Metal Hammer, were snapped up by a consortium backed by Harwood Private Equity.
Future, the listed publisher of technology and gaming titles such as T3 and Tech Radar, sold the heavy metal and rock mags — featuring the likes of Motorhead, pictured — for £10.2 million as it looks to reduce its reliance on print and focus on digital.
Team Rock Ltd, a shell company backed by Harwood, will use Classic Rock and Metal Hammer to create "a worldwide platform for this large but underserved community" of rock fans.
John Myers, former radio boss at Guardian Media Group, is executive chairman of Team Rock, which plans to reveal details of further acquisitions within days.
Future said its rock titles should "thrive within a broader music business". The mags had annual sales of £8.6 million.
Harwood partner Jeremy Brade, a former diplomat and Army officer, is the unlikely figure who led the acquisition. The private equity firm has an interest in publishing after a successful coup at listed book publisher Quarto last autumn.
Harwood's portfolio ranges from medical supplier Bionostics to gaming provider Openbet.

I would like to dedicate this week?s column to a dear friend and community leader, Louise English. I was very saddened to hear news from home of the passing of Louise English. My heartfelt sympathy and prayers are extended to her family. Her Christian faith and love of the community will be felt for generations to come.
John McCain's rise from the ashes of the Republican presidential race has amazed everyoneee.but him.
Late last summer, with Rudy Giuliani firmly installed as "national frontrunner," McCain's campaign was losing money and staffers at an alarming rate. With an accompanying dip in the polls, most observers wrote him off and figured that Iowa and/or New Hampshire would finish him.
I don't know what the results of Super-Duper-Ohm'gosh! Tuesday will be as I write this. We go to press on Tuesday afternoon and folks are still voting around the country as we transmit our pages to Roanoke.

This means you really ought to vote in Virginia's presidential primaries.
Every now and then our readers take offense at something said, or not said, in the pages of the Bulletin — or at some injustice they perceive that has taken place in the community.
When their ire is raised enough, they sometimes choose to call or write a letter to the editor and state their case.

All Republicans needed was yet another election year issue that won't play out very well for them. They'll already have to defend the war in Iraq, and many of the other failures and problems brought to us by George W. Bush.
But now, they've got the economy, too. Since they've controlled the White House and both houses of Congress for the great majority of the last eight years, they'll be held accountable if the economy slips into a recession.
This week, Richmond got colder, the General Assembly Building got crowded, and Brunswick Stew had its own official day. It's just another event-filled week at the 2008 General Assembly session, with an awful lot going on all at once.

Far too little time in both London and Paris. Better to connect them by train, but you should drop Paris and fly from London to Spain, or drop both and just do Ireland and Spain. See skyscanner.net for cheap flights.

Be sure to do an "Illumination Tour" in Paris. While you are there or a very short time, this will enable you to see the beauty of a truly lovely city. They start in the late afternoon and go through until late.

- more time in Dublin (definitely a second tier city) than for either London or Paris would not be my choice for sure. London is HUGE w/ countless things to see and do, and Paris has 10 times more things to see than Dublin does. I'd either add a minimum of two days to both. . . . Or drop both of them.
- driving immediately after an overnight flight isn't a great idea. Jet lag and 'other side of the road' driving isn't a good combination.
- flying from London to Paris makes no sense. City center to city center the train takes 2+ hours vs flying that takes 5 or 6 hours.
- if it was me, I'd fly from Cork to London and skip Dublin. -

Can't see the point of your days 9-13, you'll arrive then leave with little time to do anything else.
You can fly to Biarritz from Dublin with Ryanair. -

Agree with all the others, skip London and France this time and fly from Dublin to Spain. You wont have time to see much and will waste a lot of time and money just travelling from place to place.

I agree that there is too little time in London and Paris, so I would just drop them. You might consider replacing them with yet another Irish destination. Possible choices would be Galway, or somewhere in the Connemara. Dublin has some things worth seeing and doing, but there are other places in Ireland that I would prefer.
Also, wild horses couldn't drag me to Pamplona during the running of the bulls. Unbelievable crowds, terrified bulls, and drunken humans staggering to a near-death experience. -

No point in doing London and Paris in your itinerary. If they mean of that little interest, just drop them.

Since Ireland and Spain are your main interests, I agree with the others, skip London and Paris. London and Paris are fabulous but you will see very little in the time allotted. Fly directly from Ireland to Spain. Visit London and Paris another time. For what it's worth (very little considering your interests), I would skip Ireland and do London and Paris!

I spent two weeks in Ireland, and loved every minute. I loved Dingle. However, you can easily cut out one day in Dingle from your itinerary, and group that with your "other city" days to stay in Galway, and use that as a base to see Connemara. I enjoyed Dublin, but you can pull one day from your Dublin itinerary as well. In general, I believe people try to cram too much into too few days, and don't get to really experience the cities/towns they're visiting. You also need to figure in some spontaneous time, when you see a road less traveled and want to take it.

Regarding the San Fermín festival in Pamplona, try to get a hotel as soon as possible. Still some rooms left. http://www.booking.com/city/es/pamplona.html
Spectacular fiesta and good spirited atmosphere, I've come here again and again for many years. All kinds of people in all ages and all kinds of activities, and of course a lot of drinking and good food. But also families come here in great numbers for the singing, the dancing, the fun fair, the concerts, the parades, the cafés etc. etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFK-A4uTw4s
Perhaps make a reservation for dinner in a good, traditional restaurant? Restaurante San Fermín in the heart of the Old town might be a very good option: http://www.restaurantesanfermin.com/indexeng.html

Travelling Friends!
Thank you all for such good advice! I think that if so many of you are saying we should drop London and Paris, we might just have to do that!
Any recommendations for adjustments to the Ireland and Spain parts of our adventure? We definitely need another city to visit in Ireland, just not sure which one? Would you recommend adding days to both Ireland and Spain, or just one? With these days should we just add more time to the cities we already plan to visit or see another city or two? Can you recommend which cities to spend more time in?
I greatly appreciate all of this advice!
Happy Travels! -

I'd add more time to San Sebastian and Barcelona. There's so much to see. Have you considered flying from San Sebastian to BCN? Vueling flies from Hondarribia to BCN.

Four Days in Dingle a small peninsula that covers 0.6% of the Island of Ireland and 100% inclusion of those who have never even been here.. Have fun with your fellow countrymen. Dublin is also not Ireland but a City not unlike Liverpool, Manchester, etc etc. Throw away your Rick Steves Guide and come to Ireland to see the country and meet the Irish..

Star Trek: First Contact
By DAVID WEINER
April 12, 2013
Why It Rocks: After a slow-moving, less-than stellar introduction to the big-screen with Star Trek: Generations, the Next Generation crew finds their stride fighting the Borg in this taught, fast-moving and highly entertaining entry.
The Plot: When the Borg attacks Earth and time travels into the past to assimilate the planet, the intrepid Enterprise crew must stop them from preventing the inhabitants of mid-21st Century Earth from initiating First Contact with alien life – the Vulcans.
Best Moment: In addition to the spectacular opening battle scene against the Borg involving pretty much every ship in the Federation, the moment in which Zefram Cochrane (James Cromwell) blasts Steppenwolf's Magic Carpet Ride when he's about to launch into warp speed for the first time in human history is a classic, human touch.
Worst Moment: Things get a little kinky when the sensual Borg Queen (Alice Krige) makes the moves on Data (Brent Spiner), reactivating his emotion chip and telling him that he hasn't "been properly stimulated yet." After blowing goosebumps on his newly grafted skin, she wiles, "Was that good for you?"

Car, tech firms must work together to provide Internet, 'apps' : Ford executive
- Tweet
- Share this
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Automakers and technology companies need to cooperate more closely to ensure the rapid and smooth development of cars that are fully connected to the Internet, a top Ford Motor Co (F.N) executive said on Tuesday.
Ford global marketing chief Jim Farley told reporters at the Los Angeles Auto Show that the automotive and technology sectors are "at a tipping point" where they need to work together better than they have to speed the roll-out of the services in cars that allow consumers to drive safely and interact with their favorite apps or other technologies.
"The car companies have to change and the tech companies have to change," he said to industry officials at the auto show. "For the car companies, it's pretty clear that the mobile digital economy is not in our hands."
Farley said automakers must acknowledge that the real value for consumers comes from outside the auto industry and they must create an open architecture that allows outside providers. Meanwhile, tech companies need to stop imposing their user interfaces on drivers in a way that makes driving unsafe.
For example, Google Inc's (GOOG.O) Tarun Bhatnagar, director of Google Maps for Business, speaking after Farley, described using the navigation app on his smartphone that sat in his lap as he drove a rental car in Los Angeles.
"I can't help but wonder why is it that beautiful screen in the instrument cluster of my rental car can't provide me with a connected and safer driving experience? That needs to change," he said.
Farley said he had no new deals with technology firms to announce, but he expected significant agreements over the next few years as the two sides work more closely together.
He said the navigation system is a natural place to start. "If the navigation system works so well on the phone, who's going to pay for it in the car?" Farley said. "But it's unsafe using them in a car and that's the reality."
Farley said automakers will have to innovate around how data is used in the car and that Ford is betting first on "brought in," which refers to people bringing their mobile devices into the vehicle.
The other options are building the services into the car or beaming them in.
Calling the car "the ultimate mobile device," Farley said certain apps like navigation are endemic to the car experience and automakers will need to incorporate them really well.
Ford's Sync technology has already had a major impact on consumers' purchasing decisions and the company has sold 10 million Sync-equipped vehicles, he said. Ninety-four percent of Ford's 2014 model-year vehicles will be sold with the Sync technology.

Eric Remer is the founder and CEO of PaySimple, a leading provider of small business merchant accounts, mobile and electronic payments, and ACH processing services. He also founded Conclave Group, a direct marketing services company, and co-founded I-Behavior, a leading behavioral targeting and database marketing organization. He began his career in the investment banking field, with Kidder, Peabody, & Company.
In this video segment, Remer describes the origins of PaySimple and the gap in the marketplace he was seeking to fill. He explains how PaySimple fits into the payment processing space alongside bigger players such as MasterCard (NYSE: MA ) and PayPal (NASDAQ: EBAY ) . The full version of the interview can be seen here.
A full transcript follows the video.
Stocks to own forever
As every savvy investor knows, Warren Buffett didn't make billions by betting on half-baked stocks. He isolated his best few ideas, bet big, and rode them to riches, hardly ever selling. You deserve the same. That's why our CEO, legendary investor Tom Gardner, has permitted us to reveal The Motley Fool's 3 Stocks to Own Forever. These picks are free today! Just click here now to uncover the three companies we love.
Tom Gardner: I'm here with Eric Remer, the founder of PaySimple. Thanks for spending some time with us and telling us a little bit about what's going on at PaySimple -- the concept of the business -- and it will give us a little bit of context on payments online, what's happening with small business services, etc. When did you start PaySimple? What was the motivation for it?
Eric Remer: First, I appreciate the opportunity to talk a little about it.
I started PaySimple in the early part of 2007. The motivation was, it actually evolved out of one of my earlier businesses. The thought at the time was, as we saw this gap in the marketplace, can we create a product, and really a solution, that simplified and empowered the lives of small-business owners? Because what we kept seeing was no small-business owner starts a business to collect payments. It's a necessary evil.
They start a small business to bring their passions to their communities. If we could provide a small tool or solution that they could avoid that piece of their business, which they don't really enjoy -- again, a necessary evil -- and allow them to bring that energy to their communities, it was a net benefit for all stakeholders involved.
Gardner: How is PaySimple different than, let's say, PayPal? Or, let's say, MasterCard?
Remer: Very different than MasterCard.
Gardner: OK, good.
Remer: A little closer to PayPal.
Gardner: MasterCard is a holding in our portfolio, so I want to hear a little bit of that in that context too, but anyway, go with PayPal first.
Remer: I could start with the big picture. MasterCard provides an ecosystem for consumers and merchants to safely pass money. They created this worldwide conduit to allow that to all happen, which is great.
You bring that down a level, and I'm a merchant. I'm a small-business merchant. PayPal did a phenomenal job, really, with consumers, allowing them to pass money both to each other and then maybe to online merchants.
What we're really focused on is to take it a step further -- offline merchants, small-business service-related companies, which, again, you'll hear me probably say a few times. That service-related company ... when you think about the small-business communities right now, there's 27 million small businesses, which are one to 20 employees. Seventy-five percent of them are actually in the service sector. Only 7 million, or 25% of them, are in the retail point of sale.
All innovation that has evolved -- really from PayPal to Square to LevelUp to GoPayment -- all these companies you know very well in the valley are focused on that 7 million, that retail point of sale. PaySimple is focused on that long tail, which is the 20 million, but they don't transact as much. They're not as quick with transactors but they have bigger issues, bigger problems.
