David Huffman, Basketball Pyramid, 2011. 650 basketballs, wood frame, 2012, 10' x 10' x 9.'
David Huffman's Basketball Pyramid brings an iconic image from his paintings into three dimensions.

Tracey Snelling, Zaragoza y Obregon, 2007. Mixed media, 4' x 4.' Tracey Snelling's dioramic scale-model sculptures, Obregon y Zaragoza and Strip Mall, present two working-class urban neighborhoods in Los Angeles and Mexico. Tiny scenes within give glimpses of the lives within.

Reception with the artists: Wednesday, Feb. 27, from 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. with printmaking demonstrations by Diego Marcial Rios
Combat Paper workshops with co-founder Drew Cameron, Euphrat Museum of Art, March 7 and 9, from 10 a.m. - Noon. and 12:30 p.m. - 2:30 p.m.
Artists: Combat Paper Project with co-founder Drew Cameron, Joyce McEwen Crawford, Thomas Dang, Mike Dooley, Pantea Karimi with Daniel Konhauser, Linden Keiffer, Rolf Kriken, Sanaz Mazinani, Giuseppe Pellicano, Ehren Tool, Elizabeth Travelslight, Diego Marcial Rios, the Justseeds Artist Collective with the Iraq Veterans Against the War, and Xiaoe Xie. War & Healing looks at war and the healing potential of art. Many of the artists have lived through war firsthand. Three focus on social and internal war. They examine the effects of war on everyone, tell stories, and document global history. Art-making is used as an integral part of the healing process. War & Healing invites us to examine our own perceptions about war and reaffirm our sense of humanity. Special projects include a collaborative mural by Eugene Rodriguez's design students and winning entries from the Sakhaa On-the-Spot Peace Art Contest. A concurrent display at the California History Center features The Art of Protest, a collection of 1960's and 70's protest posters from the San Jose Peace and Justice Center.
War & Healing is offered in conjunction with Silicon Valley Reads 2013. The program features two books that describe the invisible wounds of war, The Long Walk by Brian Castner and Minefields of the Heart by Sue Diaz.
Read the New York Times, Ultra Extra, and Sunnyvale Sun reviews of War & Healing.
Xiaoze Xie, April-December 2008, Guangzhou Ri Bao, 2011. Oil on canvas, 78" x 96." Xiaoxe Xie's oil paintings depict stacks of newspapers, each revealing a section of cover image over a specific period of time. War-related images are standard daily fare. He raises questions about how we perceive the world through the media and what ideologies are imbedded in those pages.
The Combat Paper Project utilizes art-making workshops to assist veterans in reconciling and sharing their personal experiences as well as broadening the traditional narrative surrounding service and the military culture. Through papermaking workshops veterans use their uniforms worn in combat to create cathartic works of art.
Combat Paper co-founder and papermaker Drew Cameron exhibits a selection of his own Combat Paper works. In 2004, upon returning from serving as a field artillery soldier in Iraq, he took Drew Matott's papermaking workshop at the Green Door Studio in Vermont. The Combat Paper Project grew from their collaboration and today he travels across the United States and abroad presenting Combat Paper workshops, residencies, and exhibitions.
Pantea Karimi, There Are Many Kinds of War, 2012. Watercolor on paper, 11" x 29."
Pantea Karimi's watercolor paintings focus on recent uprisings around the world from Occupy protests in Zuccotti Park to the Arab Spring in the Middle East. They also reference her own childhood in revolutionary and post-revolutionary Iran. A digital animation, The Hubbub of Human Magma, incorporates imagery from her watercolor paintings with an original soundtrack by Daniel Konhauser. For War & Healing Karimi also created Middle of Nowhere: Locating a Retained Memory, a new digital installation that examines her father's Iran-Iraq War experiences and near fatal injuries.
Thomas Dang's ceramic/mixed-media sculptures serve as a reminder of the catastrophic events biological and chemical weapons can cause. Raku-glazed 'bombs' containing super-enlarged models of pathogenic organisms are suspended mid-air. In Dang's time with the Marine Corps he has done two combat tours in Iraq and has seen many hostile engagements. Biological and chemical warfare training gave him insight into their devastating potential and inspired a continuing study.
Sanaz Mazinani, Clouded Libya (detail), 2012. Digital photograph, 31" x 31." Sanaz Mazinani's digital photo-based installations investigate cognitive awareness and challenge the viewer to look at how our perceptions of war and enemy are formed. Clouded Libya features kaleidoscopic digital patterns made from images of military explosions over the Libyan desert. Threshold #1 - 4 draws from four recent news media images of explosions. She writes, "The symbolic likeness of an explosion stands in for an act of violence, but also for depictions of power that are sublime and awe-inspiring. We are surrounded by a culture of fetishism of weapons."
Elizabeth Travelslight, green parrots, 2011. Mixed media, c. 24" x 30."
Elizabeth Travelight's installation, green parrots, addresses the widespread phenomena of anti-personnel mine casualties among young boys in Afghanistan. It exposes the, all too often, traumatic effects of childhood learning and play in worn-torn countries. Suspended like a child's mobile, floating paper-mache green parrot 'mines' cast shifting shadows onto a sky-blue wall. An audio component captures conversations among boys recuperating in EMERGENCY's Surgical Center for War Victims, Kabal, Afghanistan.
Linden Keiffer, The Reckoning, 2003. Oil on canvas, 62" x 67."
Linden Keiffer's oil painting, The Reckoning, refers to inner wars and primal battles of acceptance. A lone figure climbs over a trail of battered wooden staffs, ruins of past struggles. The short story that inspired his painting describes the evolution of human violence and offers resolution through integration, a symbolic union of "human, beast, and staff." The Reckoning also points to a future where all humans are multi ethnic and free to live in peace. Keiffer is co-founder and president of The You In Me, Inc., a non-profit organization that focuses on art, multi racial/ethnic, and multicultural education.
Siri Maggerin, I'm a Sharpshooter: Chantelle Bateman, 2011. Silkscreen print, 16" x 12."
War Is Trauma is a portfolio of handmade prints produced by the Justseeds Artists' Cooperative in collaboration with the Iraq Veterans Against the War. This portfolio transpired out of a street poster project, "Operation Recovery", a 2010 campaign to stop the deployment of traumatized troops and win service members and veterans right to heal. Posters were pasted in public, replacing many corporate advertisements, to focus public attention towards the issues not being discussed - GI Resistance, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), sexual assault in the military or Military Sexual Trauma (MST), and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).
Ehren Tool's ceramic cup installations seek to raise awareness of war and popular images of war. He points to children's toys such as, "Bombs Away," a miniature CBU-87 cluster bomb toy recommended for ages 10 and up. His cups also commemorate those who died in combat and he has given away thousands of them as a part of his artistic process. Tool says, "Drink out of the cup with bombs or skulls on it. We don't have money for schools or prisons that truly rehabilitate but we do have money for million-dollar Tomahawk missiles. Every single one of us is a part of that system." Tool is a third-generation soldier who served in Desert Storm.
Diego Marcial Rios, It Must Be Angels, 2010. Woodcut print, 3' x 2.'
Diego Marcial Rios' woodcut prints merge politics and faith and decry the effects of war on all peoples. His 6ft print, It Must be Angels, illustrates a moral struggle between the vast profits of a militarized economy and the humanitarian desire for peace. Ancient and contemporary symbols for life and death confront the viewer in Tell the Sky and Flute of Death. Rios addresses violence and suffering that he has witnessed and advocates for social and economic reforms.
Mike Dooley, Friends, 2012. Digital photograph, 20" x 30."
Mike Dooley's digital collages look at life after serving including the high rates of suicide amongst veterans. In Friends, a soldier moves through a dark urban tunnel back-lit by a band of cold blue light. Dooley writes, "A soldier meets many people and accepts many things over their career. As they walk down the path of conflict and war they become intimate with the only certainty of life." He chronicles his own transition back to the civilian world and addresses issues facing soldiers and veterans today. Dooley is an 82nd Airborne veteran and a Bronze Star recipient.
Giuseppe Pellicano, Tea Time, 2012. Photograph, 18" x 28."
Giuseppe Pellicano's photographic series Grenade illustrates the effects of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder on soldiers and their families. A large-scale grenade sculpture symbolizes reintegration into civilian life. In Teatime, a young girl plays tea with the grenade, a tiara on its crown. Gifts From Dad features two small boys engaged in warfare play on Christmas morning, the grenade looking on. Pellicano is a U.S. Army veteran who served in Kosovo, Germany, and California.
Joyce McEwen Crawford, The Guardian, 2009. Graphite, colored pencil, 30" x 22."
Joyce McEwen Crawford's drawing, The Guardian, was inspired by African and American Indian stories of ancestral and guardian spirits. She writes, "As adults, we are all "guardian angels." As a social worker, I saw many children removed from harm and placed with guardians, earthly angels, who would care for them, love and protect them, speak on their behalf and assist in their healing. The angelic image in The Guardian surrounds the child with its wings, baring his scars, protecting him when he could not protect himself."
Rolf Kriken, Prophesy, 2012. Bronze, 11' 4" base 3' x 3.'
Rolf Kriken's bronze sculptures honor America's veterans and point to the devastating effects of war. His sculptures incorporate soldier's faces, Army code, weaponry, and other war objects. He served in the Army during the Vietnam War and is best known for his bronze sculptures at the California Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Sacramento. Referring to his work on memorials, Kriken told youngsters attending a career day presentation, "Put me out of business (by making sure no more wars occur) so your names won't end up on a wall."

Comments about Reveal By Halle Berry:
This fragrance smells best when first sprayed . After a 1/2 hour to 45 minutes it disappears and whatever is left behind doesn't smell too impressive.It's the kind of scent that smells okay but nothing to write home about. It doesn't last long enough to wear out for a night on the town. However, since all celebrites need to have a scent out there, I would say that this time around Halle didn't do too badly by putting her name on this one.

CEDAR RAPIDS — Nine-year-old Isaac Tominsky held his right forefinger above his lip, only lowering it to take sips of his soda, before it quickly darted back.
"I like it," he said of the temporary mustache glued to his digit. "It's a fake mustache and I won't get to have a real one until I am 16."
Isaac, along with his father, David, and about 20 others gathered Nov. 17 at Dublin City Pub in Cedar Rapids as a part of a Movember fundraiser.
Movember — which is a monthlong international movement to raise awareness and money to fund prostate and testicular cancer research through the growing or wearing of mustaches — has taken root in Cedar Rapids this year with two separate groups.
Last Saturday's gathering — Football, Friends, & MO-staches — was an event created by two friends, Nate Holler and Ben Anderson, from a desire to grow their social spheres.
"We kind of came together and said, 'We both are in the same boat. We want to meet new people and get connected, so why don't we get an event together and get some people going?'" Anderson said.
Anderson stumbled upon the Movember movement and thought it would be the perfect catalyst for an event, while also providing an outlet to help those in need.
"We latched onto it," Anderson said. "Our goal is to get some people together, have some fun growing some funky mustaches, and make some money for the J. Hayden Fry Center for Prostate Cancer Research."
Their event raised more than $200.
"It is very important and gratifying to us that they are sending their money locally," said Tori Erickson, executive director of development at the Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center.
In addition to Holler and Anderson's event, the Cedar Rapids Mo-Bros have sprouted and are raising funds through the sale of comical Movember shirts.
But for Chuck Cavanaugh, the leader of the Mo-Bros, growing a killer soup strainer that spurs conversation and creates awareness is equally as important as collecting donations.
"That is the cool thing about Movember, if you are a guy who is normally not wearing a stache or facial hair, it sparks curiosity from people around you," he said. "That curiosity sparks a conversation, and the conversation brings awareness."
Cavanaugh's group is registered through a national website called Movember and Sons, which donates all collected funds to national groups like the Prostate Cancer Foundation and the Livestrong Foundation.
As of Friday, their website had just more than $11 million in donations cataloged for the United States, and $69 million worldwide.
But for many who participated in Movember, growing a set of handlebars proved either physically or socially difficult.
"I am kind of facially haired challenged," Holler said. "Usually if I go more than a few days my wife asks me what I am doing. I was trying to grow one, but seeing my progress and based on some more professional meetings I had this week, I decided I had to go with a fake [for the event]."
Holler's decision to forgo the genuine facial hair is one that would frustrate Aaron Perlut, the chairman of the American Mustache Institute.
The institute was founded in 1965, and is focused on defending the rights of Americans who choose to live a mustached life.
"We believe it to be a civil liberty to appear the way you feel most comfortable," Perlut said. "So when a company tells you that just because you have a beard or mustache you are deemed to not be professional, we find that completely inappropriate and has no impact on the professionalism of the American worker."
And while Perlut said there is still social and professional discrimination with regards to facial hair growth, he said he is pleased with the progress the country as a whole has made toward accepting the mustachioed American man.
"A mustache is no different than any fashion accoutrement, which is why you have seen a cyclical popularity of mustaches," Perlut said. "In 1970 every man in this country had three things: a perm, a turtleneck, and a mustache."

This is a good vaccuum. I have 3 dogs and it picks up the hair nicely. It also works good on bare floors. I have newer carpeting in bedrooms and I find it very hard to push.My arm gets a workout. Its not hard to push on my area rug and old carpet in den. I use this vacuum every day and its still powerful. The bags are huge so you can vacuum away the only down fall is that these bags cost $10.00 for a box of 2. Ouch!! Be sure to have plenty of baking soda to put in bag. The canister vacuum is good also.Very Light weight. Price of this vacuum was very exspensive. I bought it 6 months ago and it still sucks like new.

I had to return the vacuum cleaner because it would burrow into my deep pile carpet, making it very difficult to push. With a height adjustment, this would be a great vacuum cleaner.

Great vacuum!
By JM
from Schaumburg, IL.
This is a smooth, quiet, and good-looking vacuum. Love the LED lights and two power levels.
Lightweight works!
By Neatnik
from Park Ridge IL
Due to shoulder problem I needed a vacuum to replace an heavy expensive one. Was afraid lightweight wouldn't have the power for the carpet, but luckily I was wrong. Wish I'd bought this months ago.
Light & powerful

Lightweight, powwerful and great for pet hair.
These units make vacuuming fun!
By Jackie Wackie
from Baltimore, MD
I can't believe how much lighter this upright is than all my previous vacuum cleaners. I love the long cord, I like the automatic adjustment from carpet to non-carpeted floors and vacuuming the stairs is much easier. The canister is great for small, tight areas that the upright won't fit into. The tools are practical, easy to use and the suction on both units is very good. For the first time in my life I actually enjoy vacuuming! The only "con" for me is the canister vac is really loud. It's probably more noticeable because you have it on a shoulder strap so it's closer to your ears. But overall, I love the Hoover Platinum Bagged Upright Vacuum and the Canister. This was definitely money well spent.
Great Upright Vacuum

from Winston Salem, NC
It worked great on carpet and stairs. I have not used the vacuum enough to rate the replacement procedure of the bag but i have owned other Hoover vacuums and I am sure tht it will will simple.
Service and delivery comments:
ABT provided prompt delivery and the equipment was in excellent condition.

Light weight vacuum
By idahospud
from eastern Idaho
Bought this model because of the positive reviews and the small canister vacuum included with purchase. The upright is built well, sturdy, but light weight and picks up dirt. I really like the light weight canister, I can do the corners of walls and places that the upright just can't reach. Attachments are on-board. The telescoping wand is a nice touch. Very happy with purchase and would recommend to anyone.
great vac.

Great head light on vacuum, easy to get next to walls and under furniture.
Great product for the price.
By Samiam
from Mesa, AZ
I read other reviews that said it was noisy. What vacuum cleaner isn't??? This a great product for it's price. Someone wrote "good for pet hair" and it is. I have three cats!! Hardwood floors not so good but the portable canister makes up for that. That canister is also great for walls and blinds.

I stayed here a month because there was no where else close to my work. The pool liner was hanging torn at two or three places, the Wi-Fi didn't work, the cable was almost non-existent and fuzzy when it did work, the power boxes need new breakers, they just about burnt off my plug, and the owner said maybe my plug was corroded ha haaha NOT!!! Last but not least the rent is exorbitant at $562.00 a month!! For what? I. getting me an apartment in Tuscaloosa, between the high rent and fuel to get to my job, I might as well live in style.

Titans add DT Jurrell Casey in 3rd round
As I wrote before the draft, I didn't think defensive tackle was a big need for the Titans, but Casey does sort of fit what they need. He's a little short at DT at 6'0.5" but has good size at at little over 300 pounds and seems to have good strength. The size limitations (he also has short arms) will limit his overall potential, but he'll fit in as an interior penetrator.
For more on Casey, see his NFL.com profile and his NFL Draft Scout writeup.

Ick! How the 'Aliens' chestburster was created
Few images in film are as startling as that moment in "Alien" when the baby chestburster comes crawling out of of John Hurt's torso in a spray of gore. It was so gripping, the slimy little parasite was brought back for the sequel, "Aliens." Even better, it was created without the assistance of CGI.
A video shared by the Stan Winston School of Character Arts lets us all in on how that nasty little surprise was created. The video is narrated by Stephen Norrington, the special-effects wiz who built the device. He started with dental acrylic poured into a mold of the monster, cut it into pieces using a bandsaw, and held it all together with a cable-housing spine.… Read more

10 Top Telescope Questions
At last, here's the question I get asked most often!
Inexpensive department-store telescopes are still the bane of our hobby. The same holds true for closeout telescopes from mail-order catalogs, the ones sold in sporting-goods and toy stores, and most scopes sold on eBay. Some of these are so cheaply made that they may not show you anything worth looking at.
As a rule of thumb, avoid telescopes advertised to deliver unrealistically high magnifications (above 500×). Their high-power views will be dim and blurry that's if you can even get the scope aimed at anything. Also, most telescopes under $200 should be regarded with skepticism. Although a few good-quality exceptions do exist near this price, you can avoid most junky scopes by simply setting your budget higher. And sometimes you can spot a lousy scope just by looking at it. If it looks cheaply made, chances are it is.
If you've already purchased one of these so-called "telescopes," see if you can return it even if you have to pay a restocking fee. Then go to a specialty retailer and chalk up the money you lost as the cost of a little education. A reputable, knowledgeable telescope dealer will sell you something that fits your needs. The kicker is that a "legitimate" good-quality telescope may actually cost less than the one you saw down at the mall.

Yankees' CC Sabathia says elbow is fine after rocky 2012
TAMPA, Fla. – Just by playing a lazy game of catch, CC Sabathia can tell that his valuable left elbow is in far better shape these days.
"I definitely feel a relief — just having that range of motion back and not having that ache at the end of my extension," Sabathia said. "I felt that right away."
During most of last year's second half, the Yankees' ace gritted through varying degrees of elbow stiffness.
"It was always there," said Sabathia, who had surgery to remove a bone spur a week after the Yankees were swept from the AL Championship Series.
Sabathia was sent packing in the fourth inning of that playoff finale under a hail of Detroit hits.
"I can't make any excuse, either way, how I pitched," Sabathia said, though his outlook on 2013 is far brighter now that a major physical and mental barrier has been lifted.
Yankees pitchers and catchers reported Tuesday, and on Thursday, Sabathia is scheduled to throw his first bullpen session of camp – his overture in a camp brimming of veterans with high odometer readings.
"It's always a concern, but that's something we've been talking about for the last few years — it's an old roster," manager Joe Girardi said. "Last year we were old and we won 95 games."
Much attention will be paid to Derek Jeter, 38, who has begun running after fracturing his left ankle in last year's ALCS; and Mariano Rivera, 43, who is coming off a lost season due to knee surgery.
With each of those iconic Yankees, "You kind of have to get over that, 'I'm done worrying about him [hurdle],'" Girardi said.
But the manager's mind is a bit more at ease with the 32-year-old Sabathia.

A few months ago, Bowie softball coach Cathie Johnson-Landers gathered her players for a pre-season chat that proved much more difficult than she ever anticipated.
Her voice cracked and her eyes moistened as she spoke, and the girls grew silent when Johnson-Landers explained that her husband of six years — and father of their triplets — had been diagnosed with liver cancer. The outlook, she said, was not good.

Two years ago as a sophomore, pitcher Brandi Neeham led Dripping Springs to the state tournament and was named the All-Central Texas player of the year. Now a senior, she's a contender to win the award again. A University of Illinois signee, Needham leads the area in victories (26), earned-run average (0.82) and strikeouts (247). She has a career record of 83-14 with the Tigers, who open the Class 4A playoffs against Travis. … McCallum, which faces Leander in a Class 4A bi-district playoff, boasts the leading hitter in Central Texas. The Knights' Desiree Hamilton has batted .625 this season while driving in 45 runs. … Liberty Hill sophomore pitcher Samantha Junkin helped the Lady Panthers earn a first-round bye in the Class 3A playoffs. Junkin (21-1) has struck out 165 in 121 innings while posting a 1.33 ERA. … Along with some other playoff qualifiers from the area, district champions Hays and Round Rock have benefited from a doubly strong pitching rotation. Hays has called on Sarah Leal (17-3, 1.77 ERA, 142 strikeouts) and Clarissa Gonzalez (11-0-1). Round Rock relied on Taylor Simmonds (11-2, 92 strikeouts) and Sara Davison (8-1). … Hannah Contreras, of Class 5A playoffs qualifier Lake Travis, has hit an area-high 14 homers this season and also driven in 40 runs. She has scored 30 runs, too. … Westlake, which shared the District 15-5A title with Bowie, faces Cedar Ridge, the third seed out of 16-5A in a best-of-three, opening-round series. The Chaparrals lineup includes shortstop Stephanie Wong, a University of Texas signee.

Going stock Android for first time, what apps are needed?
Hi all,
My Galaxy Nexus is set to arrive tomorrow. This will be my first "stock Android" device. I am used to Sense and Touchwiz providing little "extras".
What "extras" will I be missing on stock Android that I will need to fill in with other apps? For example, is there clock/alarm/timer functionality on stock Android? I prefer the Android calendar app over the Touchwiz calendar, so I'm happy there.
Just wondering if there is anything out there I need to be researching.
Thanks - 01-31-2013, 12:27 PM #2
Re: Going stock Android for first time, what apps are needed?
Welcome to the Jungle.
It is all personal preference.
The phone will have all of the basic Google system apps already there, but nothing else.
That is the beauty of the Nexus, no carrier added crap/bloatware.
Download whatever your heart desires to make it your own.

Re: Going stock Android for first time, what apps are needed?
Some of the things I "missed" when I moved from HTC EVO <series> to Galaxy nexus
- Flip To Silence - I ended up buying tasker, and just created a profile for that
- Visual Voicemail - I've started using google voice for my voicemail (not the same as integrating with google voice - this just forwards my voicemail to google voice - and that gives me the ability to listen to my Emails from almost anywhere (phone/PC). It also lets me set up custom voicemails for specific numbers, and throws in voicemail transcription (not very accurate of course)
- Smart Dial - I found a few apps for this, but they added a whole lot of unnecessary stuff, and I uninstalled those. (I miss this)
- Bluetooth MAP profile - No workaround on the stock ROM (this - I miss a lot - allows SMS/Emails to be read aloud on a compatible car multimedia system)
Clock/Alarm/Timer - yeah, all those are there in stock android. Works even better on the recently released 4.2.1 (Sprint) - 01-31-2013, 06:16 PM #4
Re: Going stock Android for first time, what apps are needed?
I agree with SMS Backup+. After using my GNex for a week or 2, all my msgs mysteriously got erased. After reading here (and in the Verizon version) I found that this is a fairly common bug. I installed SMS Backup+ as a little insurance in case it happened again.
There is a pointlessfeature(read: bug) in the GNex that won't allow sms over 160 characters. Most phones now a days will just break your msg up into multiple 160 char msgs & let you type till your fingers bleed. Not the GNex, after 160 char you're done. Install a 3rd party messaging app to get around this. On my old POS Moto Admiral I used GoSMS and had also tried Handsent. Didn't like Handsent, uninstalled. GoSMS is nice but kinda bloated. On my GNex I tried chompSMS. Nice free app, much less bloat than GoSMS. All 3 apps btw will allow typing over 160 characters.
Also, Facebook contact syncing is a little odd. It doesn't sync contact pictures. Download Friendcaster and use it to sync contact pics. There are other methods floating around here to do this but I think this is the easiest.
Other than that, I haven't really found any features "missing". What you will be missing is all the lag caused by the tons of carrier bloat on non-nexus devices. Enjoy!
Edit: Also, there is no file explorer/manager. ES File Explorer is a great, free choice.Last edited by prolongExistence; 02-01-2013 at 02:02 AM.

Re: Going stock Android for first time, what apps are needed?
Thanks for the replies. I'm looking forward to joining the "club".
Can you tell me if Tasker allows "and" rules when setting up a task? For example, "Do (x) only if both (y) AND (z) happens". I really like Setting Profiles for this reason, but I need more functionality. However, I want to make sure Tasker has this ability before I make the jump. - 02-01-2013, 11:27 AM #9
Re: Going stock Android for first time, what apps are needed?
Multiple Contexts - yes, it does support that - example: I have a profile that checks to see if I am on a call, *and* the phone is placed face down, it will enable the speaker.
There are some instances where it may not be able to do exactly what you want to do (there is usually a different way of doing it) - so, my recommendation would be to use the 7 day trial from the developer's site () first, and see if it meets your exact needs. Then, purchase from the Google play store.
Word of caution: It is not extremely user friendly, but it really isn't meant for folks who aren't familiar with basic programming concepts/variables etc. - 02-01-2013, 12:57 PM Thread Author #10
Re: Going stock Android for first time, what apps are needed?
Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I have heard it is pretty advanced, and Locale is more user friendly. I've heard Tasker has more features, though. I'm not sure I would ever need all the features of Tasker, but I would hate to pay for Locale and then find out it doesn't do what I need and have to switch to Tasker anyway.
Re: Going stock Android for first time, what apps are needed?
The developer is fairly responsive if you have a question (that isn't easily answered by just reading the user guide), and there are a lot of users who have published their profiles, and are willing to help you with creating your own. Personally, I found tasker to be incredibly useful (especially now with the free app factory add-on that allows you to create your own apks - I use it to create 'apps' for specific purposes for my other devices that don't need tasker installed) - well worth the cost of tasker (in my opinion).
Re: Going stock Android for first time, what apps are needed?
There is no note pad. I downloaded Color Note and like it a lot.
The clock does NOT have a timer and I got bored trying to find one I like as much as the Apple clock version.
Definitely need something other than stock text service and Light Flow is great even if you just want to know your phone is charging.

Re: Going stock Android for first time, what apps are needed?
I know. I use it all the time so I have to use the one on my iPod now.
You'll want to change the keyboard too. A.I. was great, but kept crashing my browser (any browser) when I used hotmail.com so now I'm using a new one in beta called Kii. I love it. Just wish it had the undo feature of AI (which wouldn't be necessary if it was just standard on Android. Big -1.)

Re: Going stock Android for first time, what apps are needed?
Eh? This is the timer from the (stock) Clock on my (stock) Galaxy Nexus - Or are you still on 4.1.1?
Regarding the keyboard, you may want to clear the data for your keyboard app and see what's going on. The stock keyboard works fine on my GNex (including hotmail - on chrome and on the stock browser). I used swype till I got Android 4.2.1, and am now using the stock keyboard - works fine, but I'll probably try out swiftkey flow once they finish beta testing. - 02-01-2013, 06:24 PM #16

Re: Going stock Android for first time, what apps are needed?
I don't think "choice is a sham" was what he/she meant. What the person is saying is that making you think something is better because it is "clean" is the sham.
For the record, I don't agree one way or the other with the marketing. I just wanted to defend the person's statement. I didn't know what "pure Google phone experience" meant when I got my phone. None of the reviews explain what it is to someone just researching which phone to get, especially if you are new to Android. However, if I could get a laptop or PC that was "clean", that would mean more to me. But, using that example, if you have all of the pre-installed apps or whatever that you don't want and can't or are afraid to delete, when you add the things you do want, it would just be more bloated as you would now have both. Therefore, it still equals less bloat, even if bloated. (If that makes sense.)

Iowa City Superintendent Finalist for Omaha Schools PostBy Gregg Hennigan and Meryn Fluker, Reporters
IOWA CITY, Iowa – Iowa City school district Superintendent Stephen Murley is a finalist for the same position in the Omaha school district.
Murley is listed as one of three finalists for the job on the Omaha school district's website. He is scheduled to be in Omaha for a public "meet and greet" Dec. 11, according to the site. Murley, age 46, came to the Iowa City school district in summer 2010 from the Wausau, Wis., school district, where he had worked for 11 years. He was not immediately available for comment Friday but said he would call a reporter later in the afternoon. Iowa City school board President Marla Swesey said Murley told her of his candidacy for the Omaha job on Thursday night. She declined to say whether she was surprised by the news but said as a former teacher, she understands that administrators come and go. Just this past Tuesday, the school board approved a new three-year contract for Murley, paying him a base salary of $192,000. Swesey declined to say whether she would have liked to have known Murley was interviewing elsewhere as the Iowa City school board negotiated with him. "Whatever happens in Superintendent Murley's employment plans, the board and administration remain committed to ongoing district initiatives and ensuring that every child in Iowa City Community School District is provided an excellent education," she said, reading a statement she had prepared. The district currently is facing several major issues, most of them related to rising enrollment. A special election is scheduled for Feb. 5 to vote on what is called a revenue purpose statement to give the district the ability to borrow ahead on sales-tax revenue to be able to access up to $100 million for building projects. Murley also is working on a comprehensive facilities plan to help guide decisions for years to come. "I think that the timing is a little difficult for us given the revenue purpose statement vote for us in February," said school board member Tuyet Dorau. "I understand that an opportunity has been presented to him and I do not begrudge him taking advantage of that opportunity." Board member Sarah Swisher said Omaha would be lucky to get Murley and she does not want him to leave the Iowa City school district. She also said Murley assured her he is not unhappy here. "I think Superintendent Murley has brought a lot of talent and inspiration to the district not only with his own work but with the team of administrators he's assembled," she said. Murley has two sons in the Iowa City school district. The Omaha school district is much bigger than the Iowa City district, with about 46,000 students compared with nearly 13,000. The other finalists for the Omaha job are Carey M. Wright, the chief academic officer for the District of Columbia Public Schools, and Mark Evans, superintendent of the Andover school district in Kansas. Former Des Moines school district Superintendent Nancy Sebring was hired by the Omaha school district this past spring but resigned before starting after the release of sexually explicit emails she had sent and received.

Practical mod_perl / HTML Book / | ||||
18.104.22.168. Building the httpd_docs server |
The first step is to configure the source:
panic% cd /home/stas/src/httpd_docs/apache_1.3.x panic% ./configure --prefix=/home/httpd/httpd_docs \ --enable-module=rewrite --enable-module=proxy
We need the mod_rewrite and mod_proxy modules, as we will see later, so we tell ./configure to build them in.
You might also want to add —layout, to see the resulting directories' layout without actually running the configuration process.
Next, compile and install the source:
panic% make panic# make install
Rename httpd to httpd_docs:
panic% mv /home/httpd/httpd_docs/bin/httpd \ /home/httpd/httpd_docs/bin/httpd_docs
Now modify the apachectl utility to point to the renamed httpd via your favorite text editor or by using Perl:
panic% perl -pi -e 's|bin/httpd|bin/httpd_docs|' \ /home/httpd/httpd_docs/bin/apachectl
Another approach would be to use the —target option while configuring the source, which makes the last two commands unnecessary.
panic% ./configure --prefix=/home/httpd/httpd_docs \ --target=httpd_docs \ --enable-module=rewrite --enable-module=proxy panic% make panic# make install
Since we told ./configure that we want the executable to be called httpd_docs (via —target=httpd_docs), it performs all the naming adjustments for us.
The only thing that you might find unusual is that apachectl will now be called httpd_docsctl and the configuration file httpd.conf will now be called httpd_docs.conf.
We will leave the decision making about the preferred configuration and installation method to the reader. In the rest of this guide we will continue using the regular names that result from using the standard configuration and the manual executable name adjustment, as described at the beginning of this section.

Rich Cordray of CFPB to testify today on consumer protection
The newly Presidentially-confirmed director of the CFPB, the nation's first financial regulator with just one job -- protecting consumers -- goes before a House Oversight and Government Affairs subcommittee today at 1:30 pm (live video). The subcommittee leadership, chaired by Patrick McHenry (R-NC) is known for its, shall we say, adversarial approach to consumer protection. But we expect the consumer champions on the committee to hold their own and give Rich a fair shot.
From Rich Cordray's excellent prepared remarks, which should be posted at that link sometime before the hearing:
My vision for the Consumer Bureau is that it will work to make consumer financial markets operate fairly in order to protect consumers, support honest businesses, and play a crucial role in helping to safeguard the overall economy. [...] When consumers know the true costs, benefits, and risks of competing products, they will be better able to make good decisions for themselves and their families. It will also help people avoid being ambushed by costly surprises buried in the fine print, so they can have proper confidence that the terms of the deal stated today are the terms they will actually be living with down the road. [...] Second, the Consumer Bureau will benefit honest businesses by leveling the playing field and ensuring that financial institutions play by the same set of rules. [...] With a Director now in place, the Bureau can work to level the playing field on which our nation's financial institutions will innovate and compete. [...] The Consumer Bureau can help responsible businesses by ensuring that everyone competing in the marketplace follows the same set of fair and reasonable rules. Finally, the Bureau's efforts can help strengthen our nation's economy.
At noon, I will join other consumer advocates and Congressional champions of the CFPB, including Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), Brad Miller (D-NC), Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) and Keith Ellison (D-MN) for a news conference to talk about the goals of the the CFPB. It will be at the House Triangle outside or in Cannon 441 (rain).
By the way, ABC News is one of many outlets reporting that Bank of America chief Brian Moynihan told investors late last week that the bank's "failed plan to impose a $5 monthly debit card fee led to a 20 percent increase in closed accounts in the last three months of 2011." Yikes.

Anyone who thinks Sicilian men don't cook should meet Giuseppe Scarlata, a native of Trapani who likes to create dishes alla fantasia. This recipe for Insalata di Pasta allo Zafferano con Tonno ed Erbe Aromatiche Fresche is one of them.–Toni Lydecker
Saffron Pasta Salad with Tuna and Fresh Herbs Recipe
- Sea salt or kosher salt
- 1 pound paccheri or other short pasta (see Note)
- 1/8 teaspoon crushed saffron threads
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- One 6-to-7-ounce can good-quality tuna in olive oil, or tuna poached in olive oil, drained
- 3/4 to 1 cup finely chopped mixed fresh herbs, such as basil, flat-leaf parsley, and mint
- 6 to 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, cut into small cubes
- 1 medium carrot, peeled and cut crosswise into short lengths, then lengthwise into small matchsticks
- 1/4 cup black and/or green Mediterranean olives, pitted, slivered
- 1 heaping tablespoon salt-cured capers, soaked in water for a few minutes and drained
- 1. Place a large pot of cold water over high heat and bring to a boil; add salt. Add the pasta and cook until al dente.
- 2. Reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, drain the pasta and transfer to a serving bowl. Whisk the saffron into the reserved cooking liquid and stir it into the pasta. Drizzle a generous amount of olive oil over the pasta, stirring well, and season with salt. Let the pasta cool, stirring from time to time; the pasta will absorb most of the liquid and take on a saffron tone.
- 3. Flake the tuna into a small bowl. With a fork, mix in the chopped herbs. Add the tuna to the pasta, along with the mozzarella, carrot, olives, and capers. Stir with a wooden spoon to mix thoroughly. Season to taste with more olive oil and salt. Let the pasta salad stand at room temperature for up to an hour, or refrigerate.
- Paccheri are extremely large, short tubes, often ridged, that make an unusual and interesting pasta salad. De Cecco is one company that makes this shape for its premium line. If you don't find paccheri, substitute penne, rigatoni, or any short pasta.

Religion | Episcopalian |
Potter Stewart (January 23, 1915 – December 7, 1985) was an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court. During his tenure, he made, among other areas, major contributions to criminal justice reform, civil rights, access to the courts, and Fourth Amendment jurisprudence.1
Stewart was born in Jackson, Michigan, while his family was on vacation. He was the son of Harriett L. (Potter) and James Garfield Stewart. His father, a prominent Republican from Cincinnati, Ohio, served as mayor of Cincinnati for seven years and was later a justice on the Ohio Supreme Court.
Potter Stewart attended the Hotchkiss School, graduating in 1933. Then, he went on to Yale University, where he was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon (Phi chapter) and Skull and Bones2 graduating class of 1937. He was awarded Phi Beta Kappa and served as chairman of the Yale Daily News. He graduated from Yale Law School in 1941, where he was an editor of the Yale Law Journal and a member of Phi Delta Phi. Other members of that era included Gerald R. Ford, Peter H. Dominick, Walter Lord, William Scranton, R. Sargent Shriver, Cyrus R. Vance, and Byron R. White. The last would later become his colleague on the United States Supreme Court.
Early career
Stewart served in World War II as a member of the U.S. Naval Reserve aboard oil tankers.
In 1943 he married Mary Ann Bertles in a ceremony at Bruton Episcopal Church in Williamsburg, Virginia (at which his brother Zeph—also an initiate of Delta Kappa Epsilon and Skull and Bones, and eventually a professor of classics at Harvard—was the best man). They eventually had a daughter, Harriet (Virkstis), and two sons, Potter, Jr. and David.
He was in private practice with Dinsmore & Shohl in Cincinnati. During the early 1950s, he was elected to the Cincinnati City Council. At the age of 39, in 1954, he was appointed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.
Supreme Court service
In 1959, President Dwight D. Eisenhower nominated Stewart to the Supreme Court to replace Justice Harold Hitz Burton, who was retiring. He was a recess appointment in 1958 before being confirmed 70-17 by the United States Senate on May 5, 1959. All 17 "nay" votes came from Southern Democrats (both senators from Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia, plus Spessard Holland of Florida). 3
Stewart came to a Supreme Court controlled by two warring ideological camps and sat firmly in its center.45 A case early in his Supreme Court career showing his role as the swing vote during that time is Irvin v. Dowd.
Stewart was temperamentally inclined to moderate, pragmatic positions,6 but was often in a dissenting posture during his time on the Warren Court. Stewart believed that the majority on the Warren Court had adopted readings of the First Amendment Establishment Clause (Engel v. Vitale (1962), Abington School District v. Schempp (1963)), the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination (Miranda v. Arizona (1966)), and the Fourteenth Amendment guarantee of Equal Protection with regard to voting rights (Reynolds v. Sims (1964)) that went beyond the framers' intention. In Engel, Stewart found no precedent to remove school sponsored prayer, and in Abington, Stewart refused to strike down the practice of school sponsored Bible reading in public schools; he was the only justice who took this position in both cases.7 Stewart dissented in Griswold v. Connecticut (1965) on the ground that, while the Connecticut statute barring the use of contraceptives seemed to him an "uncommonly silly law," he could not find a general "Right of Privacy" in the Fourteenth Amendment Due Process Clause.
Prior to the appointment of Warren Burger as Chief Justice, many speculated that President Richard Nixon would elevate Stewart to the post, some going so far as to call him the front-runner. Stewart, though flattered by the suggestion, did not want again to appear before—and expose his family to—the Senate confirmation process. Nor did he relish the prospect of taking on the administrative responsibilities delegated to the Chief Justice. Accordingly, he met privately with the president to ask that his name be removed from consideration.8
On the Burger Court, Stewart was seen as a centrist justice and was often influential, joining the decision in Furman v. Georgia (1972) which invalidated all death penalty laws then in force, and then joining in the Court's decision four years later, Gregg v. Georgia, which upheld the revised capital punishment legislation adopted in a majority of the states. Despite his earlier dissent in Griswold, Stewart changed his views on the "Right of Privacy" and was a key mover behind the Court's decision in Roe v. Wade (1973), which recognized the right to abortion under the "Right of Privacy."9 Stewart opposed the Vietnam Warcitation needed and on a number of occasions urged the Supreme Court to grant certiorari on cases challenging the constitutionality of the war.
Stewart consistently voted against claims of criminal defendants in the area of federal habeas corpus and collateral review.10 He was concerned about broad interpretations of the due process and equal protection clauses.11
He was the lone dissenter in the landmark juvenile law case In re Gault (1967). That case extended to minors the right to be informed of rights and the right to an attorney, which had been granted to adults in Miranda v. Arizona (1966) and Gideon v. Wainwright (1963), respectively.
To the general public, Stewart may be best known for a quotation, or a fragment thereof, from his opinion in the obscenity case of Jacobellis v. Ohio (1964). Stewart wrote in his short concurrence that "hard-core pornography" was hard to define, but that "I know it when I see it."12 Usually dropped from the quote is the remainder of that sentence, "and the motion picture involved in this case is not that." Justice Stewart went on to defend the movie in question (Louis Malle's The Lovers) against further censorship. One noted commentator opined that: "This observation summarizes Stewart's judicial philosophy: particularistic, intuitive, and pragmatic."12 Justice Stewart later recanted this view in Miller v. California, in which he accepted that his prior view was simply untenable.
Justice Stewart commented about his second thoughts about that quotation in 1981. "In a way I regret having said what I said about obscenity -- that's going to be on my tombstone. When I remember all of the other solid words I've written," he said, "I regret a little bit that if I'll be remembered at all I'll be remembered for that particular phrase." Washington Post Obituary
Fourth Amendment
Before 1967, Fourth Amendment protections were mostly limited to notions of property: possessory geographical locations such as apartments, or physical objects.13
Stewart's opinion in Katz v. United States established that the Fourth Amendment "protects people, not places."13 Stewart wrote that the government's installation of a recording device in a public phone booth violated the reasonable expectation of privacy; the government was committing "seizure" of callers' words.13 Katz therefore extended the reach of the fourth amendment beyond just physical intrusions; it would also protect against the seizure of incorporeal words.13 In addition, the reach of the amendment now went as far as a person's reasonable privacy expectation; the reach of the amendment was no longer defined solely by property limits.13 The Katz case made government wiretapping by both state and federal authorities subject to the Fourth Amendment's warrant requirements.13
In Chimel v. California, decided in 1969, Stewart wrote an opinion stating that arresting a suspect in his house does not give the police the right to perform a warrantless search of the entire house, only the area surrounding the arrestee.14
In Almeida-Sanchez v. United States, Stewart wrote that roving patrols of the United States Border Patrol must have some justifiable reason before stopping a car; it could not stop and search automobiles without probable cause merely because a stop was made within 100 nautical miles (190 km) from the international border.15
In 1977's Whalen v. Roe, Stewart objected, dissenting, to any broad establishment of a right to privacy; he said prior Court decisions did not "recognize a general interest in freedom from disclosure of private information."11
Access to the Courts
Justice Stewart was a leader in trying to maintain access to federal courts in civil rights cases.16 Stewart was one of the strongest dissenters in the trend of denying litigants access to the federal courts.16
Stewart wrote the Court's opinions in 1972's Sierra Club v. Morton and 1973's United States v. SCRAP, broadly laying out the requirements of standing in federal actions.16
Civil Rights
In 1968's Jones v. Alfred H. Mayer Co., Stewart extended the 1866 Civil Rights Act to outlaw private refusals to buy, sell, or lease real or personal property for racially discriminatory reasons.17 In 1976, Stewart extended the Act again in Runyon v. McCrary—private schools open to all white students could no longer exclude black children, and all other offers to contract made to the general public were also made subject to the 1866 Act.18
In 1965's Shuttlesworth v. City of Birmingham, Stewart held for the court that police could not use an anti-loitering law to keep civil rights workers from standing or demonstrating on a sidewalk.18
Ranked as one of the ten best statements on censorship, among his most quote worthy statements was in a dissenting opinion in Ginzburg v. United States, 383 U.S. 463 (1966): "Censorship reflects a society's lack of confidence in itself. It is a hallmark of an authoritarian regime."19
Retirement and death
Stewart announced his retirement from the Court on June 18, 198120 and stepped down in early July at the age of 66. He was succeeded by Sandra Day O'Connor, the first woman to serve on the Supreme Court.
At the time of his retirement Justice Stewart said he wanted to spend more time with his grandchildren and that he wanted to retire from the Court while he was still in good health.21
After his retirement, he appeared in a series of public television specials about the United States Constitution with Fred W. Friendly.
He died in 1985 after suffering a stroke near his vacation home in New Hampshire, and was buried in Arlington National Cemetery.22
Most of Stewart's personal and official papers are archived at the manuscript library of Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, where they are now available for research. The files concerning Stewart's service were closed to researchers until all the justices with whom Stewart served had left the court; the last of these was Justice John Paul Stevens who considered him his judicial hero.23 Additional papers also exist in other collections.24
In 1985, upon Stewart's death, Bob Woodward disclosed that Stewart had been the primary source for The Brethren.25
