Who are the pivotal figures in American historythe men and women who have helped shape who we are as a people and how we look at ourselves as Americans? In this companion to his popular 1001 Events That Made America, Alan Axelrod suggests we can answer this question only after we look with an open mind into all the areas of our collective past. 1001 People Who Made America does just that, highlighting the famous as well as the infamous, the virtuous as well as the notorious, from the nation's earliest days to the present.
Serving up history in lively, accessible bits, the book presents a who's who of American politics, arts, science, business, religion, and pop culture, along with concise explanations of each figure's historical significance.
Alan Axelrod is the author of two Business Week bestsellers about great leaders General George S.

Improving the Usability of E-Book Readers
Eva Siegenthaler, Pascal Wurtz, Rudolf Groner
Journal of Usability Studies, Volume 6, Issue 1, November 2010, pp. 25 - 38
The use of e-book readers (e-readers or electronic-readers) has become increasingly widespread. An e-reader should meet two important requirements: adequate legibility and good usability. In our study, we investigated these two requirements of e-reader design. Within the framework of a multifunctional approach, we combined eye tracking with other usability testing methods. We tested five electronic reading devices and one classic paper book. The results suggested that e-readers with e-ink technology provided legibility that was comparable to classic paper books. However, our study also showed that the current e-reader generation has large deficits with respect to usability. Users were unable to use e-readers intuitively and without problems. We found significant differences between the different brands of e-book readers. Interestingly, we found dissociations between objective eye-tracking data and subjective user data, stressing the importance of multi-method approaches.
Practitioners Take Away
The following list summarized take-aways that practitioners can get from this article:
- E-readers are not yet accepted as a replacement for a classic paper book.
- One of the primary reasons for this is poor usability.
- Another reason is that users expect more functions from an electronic reading device. This problem illustrates a challenge for future e-reader development; more functions should be integrated in such a way that they are usable intuitively.
- The legibility of the current e-reader generation is good; e-ink technology enables a reading process that is very similar to the reading process for classic paper books.
- For people with visual impairment, e-readers have the advantage of providing an opportunity to adjust the font size.
- Differences between subjective interview data and objective eye-movement data underline the importance of combining different methods in usability testing.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - After one week of sometimes contentious testimony in her Louisville Metro Council Court ethics trial, Councilwoman Barbara Shanklin was spared removal from the council Wednesday night.
A 20-member council jury found Shanklin, who represent's Louisville's 2nd district, guilty of misconduct but only 13 members -- one short of the required two-thirds majority -- voted to remove her from office.
Shanklin faced two charges of misusing her council powers. She was accused of repeatedly failing to disclose conflicts of interest, intentionally deceiving fellow council members and misdirecting taxpayer money.
In a vote of 16 to 4, the majority found Shanklin guilty of misconduct and willful neglect. Only Attica Scott, David Tandy and Brent Ackerson voted to find Shanklin guilty but voted against her removal from office.

Pushing off from from Waterfront Park, paddlers in kayaks and on standup boards from Freeport Kayak Rentals can go exploring in the surrounding bays. Traverse the waterways to Wampum Island, where you can stop to search for shells or practice etching S.O.S. into the sand. Duos can share rowing duties in tandem kayaks, scoping the waterscape for local wildlife such as egrets, gulls, and other shorebirds. Each rental includes lifejackets and paddles, as well as a brief orientation and safety tips for your journey.
A destination for the determined and adventurous, Dosil's encourages all manner of movement with a fitness studio situated above a watersports retail shop. From scuba gear, kayaks, and surfboards to skateboards, longboards, yoga classes, and serenity, Dosil's helps guests to explore their minds, bodies, and backyard pools.
Reber River Trips offer the best of what's old and what's new?via raft, kayak, canoe, or tube. Though their boat launch on the Delaware River is one of Barryville's newest, the Reber family has been helping guests who are exploring leisurely wilderness adventures in the region since 1947.
For a trip through history, the Rebers can direct boaters and floaters to especially well-preserved portions of the waterway, where adventurers can keep their eyes peeled for eagles and deer. Rod-brandishers reel in the river's plentiful assortment of fish, and party rafts host up to 20 revelers and up to three pi?atas filled with trout.
Founded by Eric Stiller, who documented his journey kayaking and bicycling around an entire continent in the book Keep Australia on Your Left, Manhattan Kayak spans a team of instructors who lead kayaking and standup-paddleboarding instruction and tours beneath the city's glittering skyline. Veterans of the fitness industry, MKC's instructors use the dynamic currents of the Hudson River and Donald Trump's jacuzzi to train paddlers of all skill and fitness levels in the body-first method, which emphasizes paddling from the core. In addition to leading instruction and tours, MKC's crew also leads fitness classes including Liquid Yoga, challenging participants to flow through poses while floating atop a paddleboard, aiming to boost participant health while earning the Statue of Liberty's respect.
Despite the adventure that the urban landscape of New York has to offer, some city dwellers can't shake the itch to climb boulders, hike mountain trails, and surge through whitewater rapids. One group of New Yorkers decided to remedy this, organizing weekend retreats to places such as the Adirondacks and New Hampshire's White Mountains. As word of their adventures grew, more and more people asked to join, and thus began Outdoor Connections. Today, its guides lead outings for adventurers of all fitness levels, from a day of apple picking, hiking, and wine to full-moon hikes with campfire roasts and unabashed howling. Loading up large passenger vans, Outdoor Connections' team takes guests to places such as state parks and preserves in the Adirondacks and Catskills, as well as along the Hudson River Valley and Delaware and Lehigh Rivers.
Most visitors to New York City spend their time wandering the streets or riding the subway. Rockaway Jet Ski, however, affords guests a third, often overlooked mode of transportation?water. Located at Queens's Thai Rock restaurant, the company rents out kayaks as well as Yamaha VX Cruisers from its exclusive fleet for leisurely jaunts around Jamaica Bay. Guided tours, meanwhile, lead jet skiers past classic New York landmarks such as Ellis Island, the Brooklyn Bridge, and Battery Park, a tranquil seaside park where ducks, squirrels, and wild Energizer bunnies roam. Stand up paddle boards navigate through the serene waters of Jamaica Bay while catching distance views of the Manhattan skyline. Longer jet-ski trips include a journey up the Hudson River, around the entirety of Long Island, or a multiday excursion to Atlantic City.

This week, our Prep Star of the Week was Bolingbrook junior quarterback Aaron Bailey. Bailey rushed for 304 yards and four touchdowns, three of them on runs of better than 60 yards, in the 'Brook's playoff victory over Nequa Valley last week.
At 6 foot 2 inches and 200 pounds, Bailey has rushed for more than 1,300 yards in 10 games this year.
And guess what? Football may not be his best sport. He's an outstanding baseball player and hopes to play both sports in college.
Bailey and the 9-1 Raiders will host Mount Carmel Saturday night in a second-round playoff game. Congrats to Aaron Bailey, our Good Day Prep Star of the Week.

I was four. My parents dragged me to a comedy show in the Catskills and I laughed harder than anyone. I was so awestruck that I knew in that moment I wanted that power- the power to make people laugh. In hindsight, the show was horrible and the performer was like a bad 40's Borscht Belt comedian.

Publisher's Description
In Radical, David Platts plea for Christians to take back their faith from the American Dream resonated with readers everywhere, and the book quickly became a New York Times bestseller. Now in Radical Together, the author broadens his call, challenging us to unite around a gospel-centered vision.
How, he asks, might such a vision reshape our priorities as the body of Christ? How might well-intentioned Christians actually prevent Gods people from accomplishing Gods purpose? And, how can we best unleash the people of God in the church to carry out the purpose of God in the world?
Writing to everyone who desires to make an impact for Gods glorywhether you are an involved member, a leader, or a pastorDr. Platt shares six foundational ideas that fuel radical obedience among Christians in the church. With compelling Bible teaching and inspiring stories from around the world, he will help you apply the revolutionary claims and commands of Christ to your community of faith in fresh, practical ways.
From the Trade Paperback edition.

Editorial Reviews
Response to Radical and Radical Together
"I love this book! Please read it. God is using David Platt to lead His church into much-needed reform. Radical Together is filled with tremendous insight from a man who loves Christs church. I dont know of a church leader that I trust more."
-Francis Chan, best-selling author of Crazy Love
"I have the privilege of knowing David Platt, and I assure you that his life and ministry commend what he has written here. Read Radical Together. Like the right medicine, it may be more helpful than comfortable. In fact, my prayer is that it may be an explosion, shifting many churches from centering wrongly on ourselves to centering rightly on Christ and his agenda for usand for his world."
-Mark Dever, Senior Pastor, Capitol Hill Baptist Church, Washington D.C.
"Radical caused many Christians to be shaken and to reevaluate their lives. Radical Together will do the same for our churches. Radical Together is such a clarion call for churches across the world to follow the clear teachings of the Word that I began to pray that this book would indeed move thousands of churches to become more biblically radical. Many churches and Christians will never be the same again after reading this book and following its biblical precepts."
-Thom Rainer, President and CEO, LifeWay Christian Resources, and coauthor of The Millenials and Simple Church
"David Platt challenges Christians to wake up, trade in false values rooted in the American dream, and embrace the notion that each of us is blessed by God for a global purposeto make Christs glory known to all nations! Radical is a must-read for every believer!"
-Wess Stafford, President and CEO, Compassion International
"Platts arguments…emerge at a post-excess moment, when attitudes toward material life are up for grabs. His book has struck a chord."
-David Brooks, The New York Times
"Platt challenges affluent Christians to rethink devoting vast resources to providing entertaining experiences and lattes for seekers. His call for faithful allocation of resources and an empowered laity will resonate across the Christian spectrum."
-Publishers Weekly
"What's significant about Platt's perspective is that it is coming from a solidly conservative voice in the evangelical mainstream."
-Jonathan Merritt, The Huffington Post
"This book is a challenge for Christians to wake up, trade in their false American dreams, and live a Christ-centered life."
-Jay Peroni, CFP, Crosswalk.com
"[Platt is] biblical, straightforward, brutally honest, and writes a powerful narrative as he sets out to discover what Jesus really taught to first century followers."
-Matthew Robbins, TheChristianManifesto.com
"Throughout the book, Platt exposes the indifference of American evangelicals. It was hard for me to put the book down, though I can't say that I enjoyed it. I was convicted. I was uncomfortable. But mostly I was (and am) challenged. Challenged to live a life that looks more like that of a true follower of Christ."
-John Bird, DiscerningReader.com

Phoenix Rising
" I remember that summer in Dublin,
And the Liffey as it stank like hell,
And young people walking down Grafton Street,
Everyone looking so well.
I was singing a song I heard somewhere,
Called "Rock'n'Roll Never Forgets",
When my humming was smothered by the 46A,
And the scream of a low flying jet."
- Bagatelle, Summer In Dublin.
Ten, fifteen years ago it was a much more loosely arranged city, sketchier certainly but less expensive, constricting and gentrified into a chrome and plastic wonderland. Then, skateboarding was almost cool in Dublin, one of the fringe youth pursuits that an under- funded city council could neither encourage nor curtail, and there were a few places around town you could expect to skate without any serious hassle.
Then the money came.
Red ledges was a heavy skate. By this point our numbers had swollen to twenty or so, with more heads turning up every minute in the early evening sun. Just out of college, just out of work, just out for a fuck around. The Dublin skaters are an eclectic mix, its fair to say. No one style dominates and a quick look at people's rigs showed that popular companies were Zero, Habitat, Flip, Chocolate and of course local brands Boarderco and Rukos. Is this a big night? I ask photographer Richard Gilligan. No, he says, this many isn't unusual now everybody is skating together again.
Red Ledges
Red Ledges is a re- interpreted old non- spot which new radness has brought to light. Located at the junction of Leeson Street and St Stephens' Green in the historic city centre, we never really used to skate it because the only thing which opened it up was if you could clear the pavement onto the main road. It requires a sprint and a throw down, but it didn't take long to heat up. Using half the crew to divert traffic it wasn't long before a switch bigspin clipped the kerb for the first death slam. Then Anto (who looks freakily like Janoski) and Dion stepped up to the backside kickflip and 360 flip respectively before somebody called the cops and we took off in search of a rickety, Edwardian road gap.
As before, the new blood emptied it of all previous limitations. The ollie which created the spot was topped first by a perfect frontside flip and then Gav's hardflip on the edge of control, bouncing around on the ancient streets as he approached.
Time for the best part of the session: Portobello.
Like all bourgeois places, Dublin has many pretentious little bijou dinerettes called something vaguely foreign.
Portobello is a tranquil suburb of south Dublin with the best plaza spot going. Previous attempts to hatestop it have been foiled by simply knocking the stopper flush with the still wet concrete an hour after the workmen left. Now they can't replace them, and can't remove them. Portobello has a cluster of perfect high manual pads, two of which have tricky diamond shaped watergaps behind them so you either have to step up with your feet already set, or you're snookered. Longtime face on the Dublin scene Jer Evans stopped by for some half cab noselide bigspin out shenanigans as we gave up the last of what our legs had in us. Two soaked- through T- shirts later and it was time for a little bank/ firecracker wind down in touristy Temple Bar with Bruce Kelliher before limping off to slumber. After 3 pints of ring- splitter, naturellement.
The two reference points of Dublin skating tourists know of are Baggot Street, the Bank of Ireland office front which was a hub during the mid- 90′s but is now largely unused apart from when Graham resurfaced the Baggot Gap for the G1 10- year anniversary party, and the inddor sweatbox Ramp n Rail in Drumcondra, which is now right next to a poker den frequented by some of Dublin's least salubrious villains. Just so you know.
Skate Spots
Another glorious day in the city, with Grafton Street teeming life and money being spent fast, would see us leave for a new park on the outskirts being built by Aussie legend Jeremy 'Jezza' Butterworth who had just finished building the Stabelsbaddsparken in Malmo (see this issue). The Lucan park was only about half done but we got the nod to give it a dusty test run; it was great, especially as the cement was making the coping rasp and that makes you feel all awesome. Or it does me, at least. The park will be complete by the time you read this and should definitely be on your itinerary should you plan to visit.
Eating in Dublin is a minefield. Like all newly- rich, bourgeois places, it has many many overpriced, pretentious little bijou dinerettes called something vaguely foreign. Avoid them all, because although it might say jus of this, or carpaccio of that, it is still being made by a reformed joyrider smoking spliffs out by the bins. Rule number one is avoid anywhere that ends in "-ia" or called "La-" anything; they all go out of business in 6 months before scrambling the letters round and appearing somewhere else serving the same toss. If you eat out, eat somewhere with a family name, because they have a rep to maintain. This includes Italian names, by the way: for reasons no-one has ever fully explained, Italians run most of the chip- shops in Dublin, and all of the best ones.

A spokesman for the family of Joe Paterno is denying the former Penn State coach has passed away on Saturday afternoon. Following numerous reports indicating Paterno had passed away, the spokesman released a statement categorically denying the rumors.
The report comes from Mark Viera, who passes along the spokesman's quick statement.
Dan McGinn, the Paterno family spokesman, at 8:57 p.m. on reports about Joe Paterno's death: "Absolutely not true."— Mark Viera (@markcviera) January 22, 2012
Paterno was in serious condition on Saturday after his health began to decline rapidly. He's been hospitalized since Jan. 13 while dealing with complications from lung cancer. On Saturday morning, multiple reports indicated Paterno was taken off a respirator, with family and friends summoned to his bedside.
There were also reports that Penn State players were sent an email informing them of Paterno's passing. McGinn denied those as well.

Minneapolis police and animal control officers executed search warrants at 10 addresses Wednesday in connection with a suspected dog fighting ring.
Nine of the properties were in Minneapolis and one in New Hope, Minn. Officers seized 15 pit bulls, two guns, a dog fighting training manual and an unspecified amount of narcotic drugs and supplies associated with dog fighting.
The dogs were found in fairly good condition; however, many had injuries consistent with dog fighting. The pit bulls are currently being cared for at the Minneapolis Animal Care and Control shelter.
"The dogs [were], like I said, they're in a kennel, they're chained up. Most of them [were] on a dirt surface. Some had feces in the kennel area," said Sgt. Lindsay Herron, animal crimes investigator with the Minneapolis Police Department. "Most of them did not have water. I did not locate food in most of the kennels, so these dogs are not well cared for."
A suspected dog fighter was arrested and booked into the Hennepin County Jail, where he is awaiting charges.
Fox 9 News has learned that the man apparently rented homes specifically to keep the dogs.
Anyone with any information about this ongoing investigation is asked to call the tipline at 612-692-TIPS (8477) or text information to 847 411 (Tip 411), enter MPD and the tip.

Opened in 2003, The Mark Twain Museum Center offers guests an opportunity to learn more about Mark Twain, his family, the historic house, and the author's legacy. This state-of-the-art facility houses our ticket desk; the Aetna Gallery with a permanent exhibition on Twain's life and work; a rotating exhibition hall, The Hartford Financial Services Theatre, showing a Ken Burns mini-documentary on Twain; classroom space; the lecture hall-style Lincoln Financial Auditorium; The Mark Twain Store; entertaining spaces like the soaring Great Hall and the sunny second floor café/patio area.
In addition, the Museum Center houses our research library, which is open by appointment only. Featuring walls etched with some of his most famous quotations, this LEED-certified green museum is a treasure-filled way to begin and end your visit to The Mark Twain House.
Open during regular museum hours. Exhibit included with admission.
At Your Service, a special exhibition that will be on view until September 1, 2014, will use historic objects from the collections of the museum and of other institutions to educate visitors about the daily work lives of servants of the nineteenth and early twentieth century, and to tell the stories of the diverse and interesting individuals who worked as servants for Mark Twain and his family.
More about the exhibition: The exhibition is free with the purchase of a house tour; there is a $6.00 charge to view the exhibition only. The exhibition will use historic artifacts, such as household items, photographs and documents to provide an in-depth view of the lives and work of the individuals who worked for Twain and his family throughout his life, and their influences on his views and writings.
The exhibition will open with a small section on Mark Twain's early life in Missouri and the servants and slaves who were a part of his youth. It will then move on to tell the story of the individuals whom he employed during his adult life, particularly during his many years in Hartford and during his late life in Redding, Connecticut.
A very diverse group of individuals were employed in Twain's household. He wrote that, at one point, the staff included African-Americans, an Irish-American, and immigrants from Germany, Poland, England, and Ireland. Twain also wrote that "each was an interesting character, and not commonplace." Through the exhibition, the museum will strive to bring these "interesting characters" to life for its visitors, and to provide their perspective on life in Hartford during the "Gilded Age."
At Your Service is made possible by the City of Hartford Arts & Heritage Jobs Grant Program, supported by the City of Hartford Arts & Heritage Jobs Grant Program, Pedro E. Segarra, Mayor, The Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company, the Connecticut at Work initiative of Connecticut Humanities in partnership with Hartford Public Library and Greater Hartford Arts Council, and United Technologies Corporation.

On Thursday, KCTV5's investigative team won a Region 5 Edward R. Murrow Award for news series.
The Radio Television Digital News Association has been honoring outstanding achievements in electronic journalism with the Edward R. Murrow Awards since 1971. Award recipients demonstrate the spirit of excellence that Murrow set as a standard for the profession of electronic journalism, including television, radio and online news organizations.
KCTV5 investigative reporter Eric Chaloux led the coverage into the Kansas City Water Department.
General Manager Darrin McDonald and news director Blaise Labbe said the stories were wonderful storytelling that made a difference for Kansas City taxpayers.
"Starting in July of 2012, Eric uncovered $13 million worth of delinquent accounts due to the KCMO water department, including Kansas City's pro sports teams," Labbe said.
Chaloux followed this up by exploring how the city spent more than $350,000 to improve the beleaguered department's image while customer complaints fell on deaf ears. In his third installment, Chaloux exposed how the department's efforts to collect on inactive accounts targeted properties with no water access, non-existent buildings and vacant lots.
"This series is a great example of journalism at its best," Labbe said.
Chaloux said this an amazing honor for a journalist to receive.
"This series shows how we can act as a watchdog for residents and help their voices be heard by government," Chaloux said. "With a record number of entries this year, it really shows the quality journalism that our investigative unit produces every day."

We use iPads, iPhones and other mobile devices daily. There is now scientific evidence that they are filled with bacteria and can pose a health risk for the transmission of communicable diseases.
Think about it. We take them into bathrooms, give them to sick sniffily toddlers and place them on dirty surfaces every single day.
With increasing emphasis that healthcare has placed on electronic medical records and electronic charting, mobile technology devices including computer tablets such as the iPad have been increasingly used to access information for patient care in clinics and hospitals.
This observed trend raises questions on infection control measures to avoid transmission of pathogens through this new technology as certain pathogens are easily spread in the healthcare setting.
So just how dirty are our mobile devices?
Recently a study was conducted where 20 iPads used in a single hospital were swabbed for bacteria. What they found was that 15 percent grew staph. The researchers then looked at using different cleaning solutions.
In iPads inoculated with MRSA, alcohol wipes, bleach and moistened cloth each removed 100 percent of the pathogen.
The study found that regularly wiping down your device with a moist microfiber cloth was sufficient to eliminate many kinds of common bacteria.
So what can we do to clean them?
One of the easiest and most effective ways to clean your device is by simply using a moistened microfiber cloth and wiping down the device gently so as not to scratch it.
You can also use a 1:1 ratio of distilled water to isopropyl alcohol and put that on a cloth and then wipe your device down.
That said, nothing beats hand washing as a first line of defense. Wiping down the device with a simple lint free cloth daily makes sense and is pretty simple and easy.

A bill that would require Indiana's public schools to teach cursive writing is one of the first items that may come up for debate as the Indiana General Assembly begins its 2013 session.
The bill, sponsored by Republican state senators Jean Leising of Oldenburg and Mike Delph of Carmel, would reverse a 2011 Indiana Department of Education decision that made teaching cursive writing optional.
The proposed legislation is scheduled for its first committee hearing Wednesday — just two days after the legislative session started — along with several other education-related bills.
"This is one of the issues that people in our districts talk about," Leising said. "If you can't write in cursive, how are you going to sign a legal document?"
Delph echoed Leising's concerns: "I routinely have people show up at my town hall meetings and say, 'Why aren't we teaching cursive anymore? Why aren't we requiring that it be taught?"
The reason: Under the national Common Core State Standards adopted by the Indiana State Board of Education in 2010, elementary school students are no longer required to be proficient in cursive writing.
They are, however, required to be proficient in computer keyboarding skills by the time they leave elementary school.
In April 2011, state Department of Education officials sent a memo to local school administrators in Indiana telling them that they had the option of dropping cursive writing so they could focus more on helping students become more proficient in keyboard use.
While the state doesn't keep track of school districts that teach cursive writing, state officials said Monday that they haven't heard of any school districts that have quit teaching it.
The debate over the usefulness of learning how to write in cursive is playing out in states across the nation. Those in favor of cursive argue it hones motor skills and reinforces literacy. Those who see it as dispensable argue it takes up valuable teaching time better spent on other subjects.
In the 2012 session, Leising pushed for similar legislation, which passed out of the state Senate but died in the House when the bill didn't get a hearing. She thinks there may be more support this year, given the change of leadership at the state education department.
Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Bennett, who leaves office on Jan. 14, was a strong advocate of the Common Core State Standards. Glenda Ritz, the Democrat who defeated Bennett in his November bid for re-election, has called for the state board of education to re-evaluate the Common Core standards.
Ritz declined to comment on the cursive writing bill since she hasn't had a chance to review its language.
The cursive-writing bill hasn't found the support of state Rep. Bob Behning, R-Indianapolis, who chairs the House education committee. Behning said he's "not inclined" at this point to support the bill by giving it a hearing if it passes out of the Senate.
But Leising plans to argue that cursive writing is still an essential skill that needs to be taught. To illustrate that point, she said one of her legislative staff members who took the standardized test required for graduate school had to answer an essay question using cursive writing.
Two of the common standardized tests for entrance to college, the SAT test and Advanced Placement exams, also call for handwritten essays.
On Wednesday, the Senate education committee will also consider a bill, authored by Delph, that seeks to give local school administrators at top-performing schools more flexibility to set class schedules and curriculum as they see fit.
Under the bill, administrators in school districts that have high graduation rates and high student scores on standardized tests, wouldn't be bound by the state's 180-day class schedules. Those schools could also develop their own curriculum, and create their own teacher evaluations and career and technical training programs.

Voters from 10 precincts in Brentwood took the polls in Tuesdays elections.
At the Luxe Sunset Boulevard Hotel, where the hospitality center is hosting quite a spread of food and valet parking to locals, the inspector for those precincts said more than 300 ballots were cast by 5 p.m., the lull before the evening rush. Polls close at 8 p.m.
Len Harris, inspector, said seven to eight people from East L.A. voted provisionally at the Brentwood poll locations and were afraid they would not get back to their local polls in time Tuesday night.
"They're from another area of the county," he said. "They didn't know what to do. We couldn't reach the county by cell phone. There were some candidates they wanted to vote for."
Harris said he and poll workers for precincts 9001354A and 9001364A instructed those voters to at least vote how they could in Brentwood.
Luxe Sunset Boulevard Hotel General Manager Amy Commans said people have appreciated the accomodations of the hotel for locals to vote.
"We really support the electoral process," she said, noting it was Luxe Hotels owner Efrem Harkham's idea years ago to make the Sunset Boulevard location a polling location. "He wanted to reach out to the community. It's a huge philanthropic part."
As in 2008, Executive Chef Olivier Rousselle prepared a menu, and this year it consisted of a variety of finger sandwiches, Chinese chicken salad, cookies coffee and more, as well as valet parking and big screen televisions in the lobby area for votes to watch the race in real time.
At 7 p.m. at the Village Lutheran Church poll site, inspector Zahra Aghakhani said they had lines out of the doors Tuesday morning.
"At 6:30 a.m. there were lines and we opened at 7 a.m.," she said. "We had several first time voters."
She said their site had more than 400 votes by ballot and more than 200 provisional ballots.
At the Brentwood Recreation Center polling site at 7:30 p.m., a half hour left of the polls open in the 2012 election, it was quite active, with people speed walking on Barrington Avenue to make sure they got their vote in.
Inspector Nick Omana, of precinct 9001312A, said they went through 500 ballots and more than 125 provisional ballots during the day. From 6:15 to 10:30 a.m. it was "very" busy, compared to what appeared to be just as busy an evening compared to a few other nearby Brentwood polling sites.
"I was expecting a larger evening rush tonight," he said, "but it was considerably lighter."
Patch will continue providing local coverage of the 2012 elections in Pacific Palissades. Got a news tip or information? Email Editor Matthew Sanderson at firstname.lastname@example.com. Got a photo of yourself voting? Upload it to this post!

Police believe a tragic accident early Tuesday caused the death of a west Nashville man.
Officers were working an unrelated call in the area when they spotted Richard Evans, 74, beneath his vehicle in the 6300 block of Alamo Place.
Evans had apparently been performing maintenance on his PT Cruiser in the driveway when the jack he had used to lift the car became dislodged, and the car fell on top of him.
Investigators are not sure how long the body had been under the car, but they said there was no evidence of foul play.

NBC: 'About Time' Rupert Murdoch and News Corp. Suffer 'Damage'
On Wednesday's NBC Today, correspondent Stephanie Gosk reported the latest details on the phone hacking scandal in Britain involving a Rupert Murdoch owned tabloid and declared: "Damage to the company [News Corporation] may have already been done. And some say it is about time."
Gosk noted that included, "actor Hugh Grant, who in recent months has led his own campaign against the tabloids." A sound bite was played of Grant: "we're talking about pretty nasty people." Gosk went on to speculate that the scandal may spread and put "pressure on Rupert Murdoch's worldwide media empire," which of course includes Fox News. She also argued that in Britain, Murdoch's "political support...has all but disappeared."
Following Gosk's report, co-host Matt Lauer interviewed Hugh Grant about the controversy, who portrayed Murdoch as an ominous villain who intimidated anyone who criticized him: "The police unfortunately deliberately dragged their feet because they've been, in some senses, lent on by the power of, in particular, News International, Rupert Murdoch's organization, and the government were also equally terrified of him."
Grant went on to observe: "Only three weeks ago all our major politicians in this country were sucking up to Rupert Murdoch and drinking champagne on his lawn at his summer party. So it is sort of almost comic that today in Parliament they're all competing to say that he's a terrible person."
Lauer quoted Grant calling on conservative British Prime Minister David Cameron to stop being "Murdoch's little helper" and wondered if an investigation launched by British Parliament was "something real or is this still public relations to try to present a face to the public that they're actually doing something?"
In his final question to Grant, Lauer asked: "Why should people in the United States care about this?" Grant cited Murdoch's ownership of Fox News as a source of concern: "I would have thought it was of interest to Americans simply because Rupert Murdock does own an enormous amount of your media. You know, with Fox News and the Fox station and 21st Century Fox Pictures, etcetera, and some of your newspapers. And I think, you know, people need to ask themselves, you know, 'Who is this man who owns such a large part of our media?'"
Here is a full transcript of the July 13 segment:
MATT LAUER: How big was it? Word this morning the number of possible victims involved in that hacking scandal in Britain could be in the thousands. This morning one celebrity who says he was a target, Hugh Grant, speaks out in a live interview.
LAUER: We're learning more this morning about just how far reaching that hacking scandal in Britain has become. In a moment we'll talk to one of it's victims, actor Hugh Grant. But first, NBC's Stephanie Gosk is in London with the latest fallout. Stephanie, good morning to you.
STEPHANIE GOSK: Good morning, Matt. Well, the lead investigator for Scotland Yard gave testimony that shows how big this scandal has become. She says they have a list of 4,000 potential victims, an additional 5,000 phone numbers that need to be analyzed, and so far they've only notified 170 people.
[ON-SCREEN HEADLINE: Murdoch Under Fire; Publisher and Editors Called Before Parliament]
With daily accusations piling up and the list of high-profile targets – including a former prime minister and the royal family – growing longer and longer, the British Parliament has decided it wants to hear directly from those in charge. Rupert Murdock, his son James, the chief executive of News International, and executive Rebecca Brooks, have been asked to testify next week in front of Parliament.
JOSHUA ROZENBERG [LEGAL COMMENTATOR]: And what's really interesting is that until now, Rupert Murdoch has been confident that politicians of all parties were going to support him. Now they're all turning against him and that changes a lot.
GOSK: Murdoch shut down the News of the World because of what was described as a toxic culture. But the company has now started fighting back against allegations involving two of its other papers, The Sun and The Sunday Times. Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown questioned the tactics used by The Sun to get information for a 2006 article about his child's cystic fibrosis, suggesting their methods may have been illegal.
A new statement from News International denies any wrong doing and says, 'The story The Sun ran about their son originated from a member of the public whose family has also experienced cystic fibrosis.' But damage to the company may have already been done. And some say it is about time. Including actor Hugh Grant, who in recent months has led his own campaign against the tabloids. Even recording this conversation with the deputy editor of News of the World last April. Paul McMullen, who did not know he was being recorded, acknowledged hacking was widespread.
HUGH GRANT: But celebrities themselves, you would justify because they're rich?
MCMULLEN: Yeah, I mean, if you don't like it you've just got to get off the stage.
GOSK: McMullen later called the recording a publicity stunt. Not so says Grant, who claims to be a victim himself.
HUGH GRANT: Only the other day it happened to me. You know, my medical details were published in The Sun. So we're talking about pretty nasty people.
GOSK: So far, eight people have been arrested but it may not end there. Scotland Yard believes the investigation will continue to grow, and along with it the pressure on Rupert Murdoch's worldwide media empire. Later on today, Parliament is set to pass a motion urging Murdoch to back off a multi billion dollar merger deal with a British TV network. It is going to send a strong message to Murdoch that his political support in this country has all but disappeared. Matt.
MATT LAUER: Alright, Stephanie Gosk in London. Stephanie, thank you very much. Hugh Grant is joining us as well from London. Hugh, good to see you. Good morning.
HUGH GRANT: Good morning, Matt.
LAUER: You know, the Atlantic Ocean can sometimes create a bit of a time warp here. The story is on the front pages of the papers here in the United States but it was slow in brewing. It's been brewing there for a long time. How would you describe the public reaction to the daily revelations you're seeing there?
GRANT: Well, the big moment came last Monday when people had known for some time that actors, musicians, politicians, were being hacked and everyone thought that's wrong. But it didn't really get people emotionally involved until last Monday, one of our national papers revealed that this young girl who'd been abducted and murdered, that they'd been hacking her phone, listening to her messages. And shockingly, deleting some of her messages when her voice mailbox filled up. Because they wanted more messages to come in which, of course, gave her parents hope that she might still be alive. She'd been missing for six months. And that's when the country really rose up in revulsion. And um-
LAUER: Are people – I'm sorry to interrupt.
GRANT: Yeah.
LAUER: But do you think people there have the feeling that this was simply business as usual and, by the way, this appears to be prevalent not just at one newspaper, even two, it could be wider than that, that the feeling among these tabloid reporters and executives was, as long as the story sells, there was an entitlement to get that story using any means possible?
GRANT: Yeah. That was the culture. And still is, I mean, to a certain extent, within the tabloid press in this country. It's – it's terrifying. And, you know, if you ask the question why didn't we do anything about it before, the answers are now emerging. The police unfortunately deliberately dragged their feet because they've been, in some senses, lent on by the power of, in particular, News International, Rupert Murdoch's organization, and the government were also equally terrified of him. He had the power through his papers to get them elected, and his paper knew, you know, dirty details about individual MPs and so they were unwilling ever to take him on. Only three weeks ago all our major politicians in this country were sucking up to Rupert Murdoch and drinking champagne on his lawn at his summer party. So it is sort of almost comic that today in Parliament they're all competing to say that he's a terrible person.
LAUER: Yeah, these are your words, you said this recently, quote, 'This is a watershed moment for David Cameron and his government. He can either continue to be Murdoch's little helper or he can be a statesman.'
This appearance before Parliament by Rupert Murdoch, his son and top executives, is this, in your opinion, something real or is this still public relations to try to present a face to the public that they're actually doing something?
GRANT: Well, we don't really know yet whether they will accept that invitation or not. I mean, I have to say I think it's unlikely. If they do, it will be the greatest piece of parliamentary theater we've ever had in this country.
LAUER: Two quick things, Hugh. First of all, why should people in the United States care about this? You've spent a lot of time here as well. You've had your encounters with the tabloid press in the U.S. Do you think this is prevalent here as well?
GRANT: I don't know the answer to that. But I would have thought it was of interest to Americans simply because Rupert Murdock does own an enormous amount of your media. You know, with Fox News and the Fox station and 21st Century Fox Pictures, etcetera, and some of your newspapers. And I think, you know, people need to ask themselves, you know, 'Who is this man who owns such a large part of our media?' And I think, you know, when you hear some of the new allegations about who The News of the World was phone hacking may include – and I stress it's just allegations at this stage – some of the 9/11 victims. Well, I don't know, that may strike a chord with Americans.
LAUER: And finally, responsibility. I mean, the fact of the matter is millions of people still go out and buy these newspapers and logon to these types of websites. Do those people, do the consumers shoulder the blame as well?
GRANT: I think we have to, yeah. It's a strange business, isn't it? I mean the specialty of tabloids like that is to find the lowest common denominaor and work out sort of our worst instincts and then purvey for them. And unfortunately they do it extremely well and we are all guilty of falling for that.
LAUER: Hugh Grant, joining us from London this morning. Hugh, it's nice to see you. Thanks for your time. I appreciate it.
GRANT: Yeah, you, too.
LAUER: Alright.
ANN CURRY: He put that pretty well.

"Some say" that
Submitted by TexasMom0517 on Thu, 07/14/2011 - 9:49am.
"Some say" that it's TOO "coincidental" that Soros funded Media Matters declared war on Fox (in order to try to get Obama re-elected) provoked a call for the I.R.S. to revoke Media Matters' tax exempt status and the next thing you know, there is a firestorm in the U.K. over phone hacking by "News of the World."
"Some" want to know how many other media outlets, whether owned by Murdoch or not, are guilty of hacking? Weren't the phones of Charles and Diana hacked many years ago? Is this common practice for "journ0lists?"

That's about the shape of it.
Submitted by Slyrr on Wed, 07/13/2011 - 6:37pm.
That's about the shape of it. The liberal media has been imploding for years. Each day they see their number floundering, their viewership plummeting, their customers fleeing in disgust of their lies, perversions and whoredoms. And the more customers flee, the worse the liberal media gets - as if becoming even more obnoxious and disgusting is their only gimmick.
All the while, non-liberal media has been skyrocketing.
So of course the liberal media look on any 'damage' to their enemies as something to celebrate. Let them yuk it up while they can. They're still bleeding to death every day.

I would suspect...
Submitted by DumbCanuck on Wed, 07/13/2011 - 6:44pm.
...that the lamestream media was itching to find something... ANYTHING on Murdoch that they can sink their teeth into, hoping that something would stick. And if it doesn't, you can bet that they'll make it stick.
With all the scandal surrounding someone like George Soros, you'd think you'd hear something about him in the media, wouldn't you? But no. All we hear are crickets.
Exactly why is the LSM (lame-stream media) broad-brushing Rupert Murdoch's entire media empire for the illicit actions of one tabloid in a foreign country? Could there be an agenda behind this reporting? Hmmm... Let me think about that one for a minute... Is it possible??? Could the media actually be biased? The dickens, you say!
The critisism I've heard from CNN was that Rupert Murdoch's closing of the News of the World was overkill. He shouldn't have done it, they claim. All he had to do was fire an editor, and all would be forgiven. This way, everybody loses their jobs! How irresponsible of Murdoch! You see, he'd been planning closing this tabloid for a long time now, and this was his golden opportunity.
Yeah, right! This reporting seems like a back-door strategy on the part of the LSM to discredit FNC in the States, wouldn't you think? And I can just hear the chatter coming from the LSM if Murdoch did exactly what the CNN critic proposed. "Damn if you do, Damn if you don't." -- Bart Simpson.

Submitted by buddyc on Wed, 07/13/2011 - 8:40pm.
Let me tell you something. Beck was fired for taking on Soros. Murdoch knows how powerful Soros is. Murdoch's mistake was believing that getting rid of Beck would cause Soros to cut him some slack. Murdoch should have studied a little more history and gotten some more info about Soros. Beck was right. Soros is the devil and he wants to destroy Murdoch. This is now a fight to death between Murdoch and Soros. Right now the odds favor Soros. Murdoch would be wise to use his meida power now, while he still can, to relentlessly expose and attack Soros. Soros is a cockroach and can't cope with the light of day. Expose him and he will lose. But you can't back off. You can't stop until he is totally destroyed. Right now Murdoch is the only man in the world with the power to rid the world of this Soros cancer.

I agree, I would like to know more about Rupert Murdoch. He is the greatest media figure of the last 30 years. Who is this man who owns such a large part of our media and why aren't there more like him?
Of course the rest of the media are going to try to smear him with the actions of some admittedly despicable journalists. They're flailing about looking for anything to save themselves.

You can see why Hugh Grant would be campaigning against tabloids, since a lot of people remember his scandal with a prostitute several years ago. Which reminds me, I wonder if Soros is helping to fuel this fire?

Another example of non-journalism

Personally, I dod't care about this Gosk creature's personal opinion of Murdoch - and I care less about what Hugh Grant thinks. This has been should be happy to get any kind of free publicity. He should remember the old PR saying, "Say what you want about me - just spell my name right."
"Journalism" - a word that has no application in our society. Instead, we have cheerleaders and enablers.

Cameroon has beautiful countryside views and is a top cultural attraction. Its 6 national parks, which are ideal for safaris, are certainly popular among tourists. Cameroon has more than 15 million inhabitants, but is mainly populated by animals. The forests are inhabited by crocodiles, bongos and various species of ape.
Douala features an excellent location along the coast as well as a large number of sights that make it popular among tourists ...

VMTV channels to go Widescreen
This is a petition that will be sent to Virgin on the 1st March by me. Im hoping that everyone who wants the VMTV channels like LIVING, VIRGIN 1, BRAVO ETC to go Widescreen will sign this. It will show a strong case for VMTV to go widescreen sooner rather than later: Heres a few of my reasons: - I will enjoy my programme better - Most modern channels broadcast in widescreen - Most consumers have a Widescreen TV - The picture is full and not zoomed in

Hillsborough deputies say two people were shot inside a Plant City home last night.
Detectives say it was a home invasion that does not appear to be random, and the suspects are still on the loose.
This all happened just after 9 p.m. in the 5700 block of Horton Road, which is just off of Highway 60 in Plant City.
The woman that lives at the house, Yvonne Shakes, tells us she was home with her husband and two small children when her oldest son came running in the door.
She said he told them all to get out and start running. Shortly after, she said several men came barging in the house demanding money and started shooting.
Deputies say two people were shot.
Shakes said her son was shot in the foot and that her husband was shot four times in the chest. Both are at Tampa General Hospital.
Right now, we have no suspect description or motive, but again, deputies say this was not a random act of violence.

Config newbie-problems changing from old apache 1.3 to apache2 server.
Hi Guys,
I've had an age-old apache 1.3 local development environment that I've decided to replace with a local apache2 environment with virtual sites instead, but I'm running into trouble and numerous online howto's have gotten me nowhere. When restarting Apache, I get:
Reloading web server config: apache2apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
[Sat Jun 02 19:15:41 2012] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts
I have:
created a virtual.conf file in etc/apache2/conf.d with content:
# We're running multiple virtual hosts.
NameVirtualHost *:80
I have added 127.0.0.1 localhost www.test1.com to etc/hosts
I have copied the content of the 00-default site-file into a new site-file called www.test1.com in sites-available and also sym-linked it into sites-enabled.
I have created another folder inside my existing home/jacques/websites/ folder called www.test1.com with a public_html folder where all the relavant site-files are now stashed.
this is my www.test1.com virtual host file:
<VirtualHost *:80>

I'm a complete newbie with Apache2, so there might be a few blunders here. I just don't see 'em right now.
Hope you can point me in the right direction with Apache2 as I'd really like to "get it".
Thx for reading - and a great online resource.

- in extension: When I enter just "localhost" in the browser-line, I get "It works!", so somehow, something still points to var/www even though I changed the document root path.
Replacing the content of the "default" site-file with the content of my own www.test1.com site-file get's everything working, but separate files for each site and not several "site-sections" configured inside the "default" site-file is supposed to be the way, correct?"There can be only one masterfarter"

We are learning new information about the Dinwiddie man at the center of a triple murder investigation that spans two counties.
Herbert Bland Jr. is in the hospital under close watch after a deadly shooting spree on Monday.
It all played out like a dramatic novel. A Dinwiddie father and associate pastor Herbert Bland Sr. Was wheeled out on a stretcher. Earlier in the day, a longtime Chesterfield employee Barbara Fassett and her daughter Elizabeth were shot dead in their own home. The man allegedly at the center of both shootings is Bland's son and supposed Elizabeth's ex boyfriend Herbert Jr.
"I do offer my sincere sympathy and my sincere condolences to the family," said Antonio Tucker who is a family cousin and funeral director. "It was a tragic loss for them just like it was a tragic loss for us."
Tucker insists his cousin Herbert Jr. is a good guy suffering from "issues."
"He used to play drums for my church. He was in church," said Tucker. "One thing I can say is my uncle loved his son, and my cousin loved his father."
And yet investigators say Herbert Sr. shot Herbert Jr. back in August 2010 in what was deemed self defense. No charges were ever filed.
"There were no signs of animosity or ill feelings or anything," said Tucker. "They lived together."
The family is finding it hard to understand the triple shooting investigation spanning two counties.
"It could have been a lot worse," said Major William Knott with the Dinwiddie County who notes the call came in as a report of a missing gun.
"And you walked into this guy stumbling out and falling on the ground?" we asked.
"That's correct," said Major Knott.
"And you found a dead body?" we asked.
"Yes," replied Knott.
"It's a shock," said Tucker.
It is a shock for the quiet Chesterfield community and the two families now planning funerals.
"I eulogized my uncle in 2010 and I'm pretty sure I'm going to be eulogizing this uncle on Sunday," said Tucker. "It's rough, but we are going to get through it."
Bland is in the hospital, but he is expected to recover. He faces several charges when he is released.

Student Loans for University of Miami Students
About University of Miami
Located in Coral Gables, just south of the city of Miami, the University of Miami is a university on the rise: its academics have grown in strength over the past several decades, attracting more competitive students and professors, while in the same period of time, its endowment has grown dramatically. As if its growing academic strength wasn't enough to make U of M appealing, let's not forget it's in a beautiful suburb of Miami, right outside the city limits. Coral Gables is gorgeous, and the university also has a campus out on Virginia Key for marine and atmospheric research. On top of all of this, the school has a very high profile athletics program, and routinely produces strong teams for ACC and NCAA competition.
Miami, like any other city, has a relatively high cost of living. Not that you'll be going out on the city and living the high life as a college student, but it's important to keep the higher cost of living in mind as you construct a budget.
Applying for Financial Aid and Student Loans
The University of Miami requires students to submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to be considered for financial aid funds. Don't be intimidated—you only have one form to submit, and it's really not that bad. Check out our FAFSA coach for details on how to complete it painlessly. Once you've got it finished up, send your FAFSA off to the U of M aid office and your application process will be complete.
University of Miami financial aid is offered to 85% of the student body, with a remarkable 71% of all aid coming in the form of grants or scholarships. The dominance of 'free money' awards in the University of Miami financial aid program is a huge strength for the university, and a great plus for students who might attend. Of course, there are still students who don't receive all the aid they need to totally cover the cost of attending the University of Miami, and in these situations both federal and private loans can be helpful.
If you still need funding after your U of M financial aid package, first exhaust your federal aid options, and then pursue private loans to cover the final gap. To find, compare, and apply for private student loans for University of Miami, check out our loan comparison tool above.
Frequently Asked Questions
The UM Financial Aid department does not automatically renew your financial aid every year. You need to reapply for the financial aid every year. Having Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) is mandatory for financial aid renewal. You need to apply for the financial aid's renewal at the University of Miami by February 1, which is the priority deadline.
Are there any scholarships available for new international students through the University of Miami financial aid office?
Yes, new international students may apply for scholarships offered by the University of Miami financial aid office. Available scholarships include are Isaac Bashevis Singer Scholarship, a standard University scholarship, the Dean's scholarship, and the Dickinson scholarship. To be considered for these awards, students are required to submit an application for admission with academic documents and a letter from the bank. Students must also have a minimum SAT score of 1300 in order to be eligible.
