Police want you to take a tax season scam alert seriously.
Albany Police are reminding residents how difficult it can be to recover from identity theft, which can pick during tax season.
They say you can protect yourself by shredding important documents, keeping important papers away from places where they might easily be stolen, and just being mindful of your surroundings.
"Around tax time we do occasionally see an increase of identity theft," said Phyllis Banks, Albany Police media manager. "A lot of people come in and report that someone has used their identity to file a tax return."
Police say if you suspect you may be a victim of identity theft you should call your local law enforcement agency and report it.

It wasn't all that long ago that generic drugs were the exception rather than the rule. On expiration of the innovator's patent, there would be a somewhat gradual decline in sales due to generic competition, but a loyal following of prescribers and patients would keep the product afloat for a few years. Their faith in the brand name would be buoyed by the know-how behind the product, the innovator's history of success, and the knowledge that there was a best-in-the-field staff of scientists and technologists who made the product possible. It was good decision making. Drug product choice is a very important decision.
It also wasn't that long ago that counterfeit drugs weren't an issue, much less the topic of a dire presentation by an FDA commissioner. However, in a speech at the Partnership for Safe Medicines Interchange 2010, Commissioner Hamburg reported that in some parts of the world 30% to 50% of the drugs to treat serious diseases are counterfeit. She also pointed out that "nearly 40% of the drugs Americans take are imported and nearly 80% of the active ingredients in the drugs on the American market come from overseas sources." This unhealthy extension of the supply chain coupled with the increased complexity of newer medicines should be worrisome in and of itself to those who prescribe and dispense medication. Superimpose on this situation the temptation of a business capable of generating billons of dollars per year and drug counterfeiting becomes a true health care problem—a problem that has resulted in patient deaths.
The uncertainty of the actual source of drug product being dispensed to a patient and the overall effect of forcing prescribers to use only generic drugs has now left patients open to risk greater than in the 50 years since the Kefauver-Harris Amendment was passed. The prescriber and dispenser have more liability and less freedom in practicing their professions than they ever had with respect to pharmacotherapeutics. How a drug is made is important; quality must be built into a product, not just tested.
Low-dose oral medications are among the most challenging to develop and manufacture reproducibly. Many of drugs most often prescribed by ObGyn specialists are low-dose (< 1 mg) medications. Lower drug concentration in a formulation generally results in more issues with content uniformity. Supportive of this issue is the fact that a good portion of FDA warning letters and inspection observations center on content uniformity problems. A drug innovator has years of experience and usually the optimal technology to ensure content uniformity. This can't always be said about generic manufacturers and certainly not about counterfeiters.
Consistent bioavailability is another issue with low-dose medications. Certain excipients and methods of preparation can be used to ameliorate this effect. However, there is no requirement by a generic manufacturer to directly reproduce a formulation or method of manufacture—only to demonstrate bioequivalence. For low-dose medications, does bioequivalence remain consistent form batch to batch? From manufacturer to manufacturer? This type of assurance can't be tested, and I have personally heard from physicians about cases in which a change of generic manufacturer has caused different therapeutic results.
I don't consider this topic to be random whistleblowing. Health care costs are an issue, and where they should be cut is always a matter for debate. Do we want pharmacotherapeutics to be that place? Over the thirty years I have spent as a pharmacist and pharmaceutical research scientist, I have seen the professional choices of physicians diminish significantly in the area of pharmacotherapeutics. This isn't progress and it isn't beneficial to the patient. Medicines are the still the way most patients are treated most of the time. They are still our greatest tools in treating disease. Their quality must never be in doubt.

During the pamphlet debates (Federalists and Anti-Federalist papers) over the ratification of the Constitution, the Anti-Federalists highlighted several key areas where they felt the language in the proposed Constitution did not adequately prevent the new central government from becoming as tyrannical as the monarchy they had just defeated. Among their concerns was the possibility that the new central government could someday create a standing army that would eventually roam and patrol our streets and harass our citizens.

FFRF filed a suit and, in short, the IRS has settled and agreed to begin closer monitoring of churches to ensure that their speech is within the rules set by the IRS. So I wonder, what will American 501c3 pastors do? Will they continue to celebrate their speak-the-truth-with-boldness holiday? Or will they get nervous and buckle? By the way, if you think the monitoring will stop with just candidate endorsing, think again. The FFRF suit named Billy Graham's group for an ad that said "Vote Biblically."

Today jurors in Bibb County convicted William Jody Byrd in the 1999 Murder of his wife, Desta Dodson-Byrd.
The investigation turned into a 12-year-old cold case, until Byrd was arrested and charged with his wife's murder in 2011. The arrest came after the victims friends and family mounted a publicity campaign for justice.
The defense argued, the victim took her own life with a single shot to the
head. While prosecutors insisted, Byrd fired the fatal shot that killed his 29-year-old wife 15 years ago.
46-year-old Jody Byrd faces a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.

Death of Entrepreneurism in Europe
Doug Saunders, Globe and Mail
The Associated Press
As Europe shifts from crisis to recovery, its governments are beginning to express, albeit in rather different language, Marteria's lament: Everybody's looking for a job (and, in Germany, getting one), which means that nobody's doing anything creative or interesting. Specifically, they're not starting companies: Jobs are returning to established corporations in droves, but there's little effort to create anything new. This has become a continent full of people who want to work for somebody else.

Susan H. of Windsor asks: I was told that hellebores bloom in the middle of winter, unaffected by the cold, and are very easy to grow. That's my kind of plant! What else can you tell me about this plant?
Hellebores belong to the genus Helleborus, which has 15 species, all belonging to the buttercup family (Ranunculaceae).
Since they bloom around Christmas and Lent, they have common names like Christmas rose and Lenten rose.
They have some of the showiest flowers found anywhere! Christmas rose (Helleborus niger) is a strikingly beautiful plant when it's in full bloom, having large, upturned, bright white flowers covering the entire surface of the plant. Helleborus foetidus has the showiest green-colored flowers that you could find on any plant.
They can suffer from hard freezes, which damage the new leaves and tender, young flower petals, so you might want to protect them if the weather gets down into the low 20s. This small group of woodland plants, which were originally found in the forests of Europe and western China, wait until all the leaves are off nearby and surrounding trees to take advantage of the winter's short sunny days.
The Lenten rose (Helleborus orientalis) and hybrids of the Lenten rose (Helleborus x hybridus) are one of a few plant species that are included in one of the most intensive breeding programs. New flower colors, combinations of flower colors, and flower shapes are being developed each year by careful and selective plant breeding. The flower colors range from white to deep purple, with all shades of pink in between.
Besides the many showy flowers blooming when other perennials are sleeping, hellebores have evergreen and semi-evergreen leaves, which provide some greenery during the winter months.
Hellebores perform at their best when they are grown in dappled shade or morning sun. Late-afternoon sun can cause scorching and burning. Sunlight until noon or 1 p.m. is fine also. They definitely require good draining soil, with some organic matter mixed in.

Shared by drabmuh. Thanks Matt.
The beer is bright orange and pretty clear, with a thin white head that leaves sparse lacing on the glass. The aroma is simple and straightforward, primarily offering a slightly sweet malt. The flavor and feel far exceed the unremarkable aroma. Age has served this beer quite well. Easy drinking and smooth. Not as good as the Stonewall I enjoyed just prior, but still a tasty example of the style. Definitely the best of the Old Guardian series that I have had.

Enjoyed this on-tap at Duckworth's in Charlotte several times after the Stone event. These notes are from 10/7/10.
clear, rich amber color; some lacing and low retension
sweet aroma of honey, maybe some vanilla
you can taste the alcohol up front but it is not hot, very smooth; some mild floral and herbal flavors along with the sweet throughout; honey and toffee
pretty amazing mouthfeel I thought; nice firm, small, smooth carbonation; slight slippery feel with honey linger; a little burnt flavor with the honey linger
very drinkable overall; sweetness is not overpowering allowing subtle herbal and spice notes to be known; great smell, taste, and mouth with a 10% abv; tastes much better than the 08 or 10 vintages imho.

Thanks to Habmike for the generous extra and chance to try this 6 year old barleywine again after just having it about 3 weeks ago on tap. This time it comes to me in the form of a small swingtop growler.
Poured into a stone pint glass, this brew appears a perfectly clear golden orange color with less than a finger of creamy lightly yellowish stained head. It dissipates fast to just a collection of bubbles around the perimeter of the glass. A swirl agitates some bubbles out of solution that again forms a thin film across the top of the brew that dissolves fast. Faint spotty lacing is left on the glass.
The aroma is sweet and floral with hops that also give off the impression of some herbal quality. The sweetness of the nose is a mixture of caramel like malt blended with some candy scents that flirt with vanilla character. A light indication of alcohol esters are also noted but they come across very subtle and really accent the other qualities of this brew's smell. After this brew is warm, iip your nose a little too close and this brew brings out quite a solvent quality.
The taste is toasty caramel malt with a candy like sweetness that has a flavor of orange rind meets vanilla. The alcohol is more evident in the flavor than in the nose, but yet again it is subtle and accents the other flavors except for the warming finish it produces. The hops are more evident than in the nose with a bitter herbal aspect that clings in the mouth blended with the toasted grain flavor. Once this brew really warms up, the alcohol has a bit of a solvent kick to it.
This is a full bodied brew with a light level of carbonation. A pleasure to drink and is completely deceiving in the way the alcohol initially has little to no impact and then brings out a numbing power to the tongue and warmth straight through the back of the throat and into the stomach. Despite the initial big sweetness, there was plenty of herbal hops left over to balance it out.

How often do you get a 6 year old barleywine on draft. Not too often.
Beer is red and nearly completely clear. Head is tight and thin with tiny off white bubbles that leaves a lot of lacing on the glass.
Aroma is malty, not much else.
Beer is mildlly bitter, strong, big bodied, creamy smooth, very nice overall. Beer isn't hot, very drinkable for a barleywine, its quite good. My favorite out of the four versions of this beer I tried.

On tap at Churchkey.
Pours a reddish light brown with a tiny off white head and a few whisps of lacing. Nose is fairly one dimensional with some sweet fruity malts, although--believe it or not--there are still some hops present. Taste brings a bit more fruit along with some light caramel. Sweet malt dominates. Medium body with good carbonation and almost mo booze. Drinks fairly well but for somethig this I old I was expectig a bit more depth of flavor.

Pulled this bottle out of the cellar. Consumed at DLD...review from notes.
A- Poured a light hazy amberish brown color. Half finger off white head comes and goes rather quickly. No lacing as I drink this beer down. Not much of a looker but it's old so I give it the benefit of the doubt.
S- Good strong caramel and toffee malts come through this. The alcohol doesn't burn the nose but is a lot mellow than fresh. Some light darker fruits in this but still a little mellow in the aroma department. Some sweet almost light maple in the ending of this beer makes it all come together.
T- The age of this did tame the beast I thought. It drinks very very smooth and doesn't have a lot of alcohol heat to it. Big caramel malts clash with faded hops and light darker fruits. A sweetness to this makes the beer gently pass through the palate with ease.
M- Heavy mouthfeel. Carbonation is a little flat but I think it's forgiven since it is a older beer. Sweet malts left on the palate with some light alcohol in the aftertaste. Light oxidation which I expected. Flavors blend together very smoothly without a stop and jerk motion with the flavor.
D- This beer was a pleasant surprise. The beer ages wonderfully and I expect this beer could have gone a couple more years before a decline in taste would be apparent. Drinking toward its prime I think. Damn you Stone...you make a good beer like usual!

Consumed Feb 7th, 2010 at Stone World Bistro.
Cloudy medium yellow with a fine white head.
Not especially aromatic, but there is a sugary maple syrup sort of note.
Still flavorful after all this time. Primary palate note is a sweet, maple syrup sort of character. Faint herbal traces. Significant bitterness on finish.
Still has some alcohol heat, interestingly enough. Mouthfeel unremarkable aside from a slight thickness.
Age has changed it but not really tamed it. Not really very tasty, though unflawed and quite drinkable.

Thanks a ton Matt for the Growler fill of a lifetime. Great trading with you and I hope to do it again soon.
Pours a really nice glowing amber orange haze. Light yellow head that dissipates pretty fast but considering the age and style I didn't expect much in this department of looks. Very still beer but after 4 years I'd hope that be the case.
As I stick my nose into the glass I get a very milky scent with some good smooth caramel and toffee. Wow does this smell great, I can't get over how pronounced these two elements of the smell are. Some light Peach and possibly even apricot come through as well. Not overly sweet, but really pleasant smell that is hard to look past.
WOW, this one really plays with your taste buds. An initially very tangy bite on the tongue sends warning signals that this is going to be an interesting ride. I thought it was going to be a little bit smoother, but nonetheless, this beer glides down your palate, through your throat, and into yo' bellayyyy. Really nice and not over the top oak components. Died down hops add some flair, and tons of caramel. Touches of honey. Slight heat on the tail but my taste buds have been rather sensitive to this lately.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) led an effort to develop the first-ever public health agenda for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, which will guide future public health efforts and research into these diseases.
"Psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis have many genetic and environmental causes that vary among individuals," said Andrew D. Robertson, chief scientific officer for the National Psoriasis Foundation. "A public health approach to psoriatic diseases will allow scientists to better identify possible environmental and lifestyle contributions, which could potentially help us stop these diseases before they start."
The coalition of federal officials and clinical, biomedical and public health experts developed a list of priorities to address future research into psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. The priorities are:
Public health data will help scientists understand the underlying questions about psoriatic diseases and how they affect a large population of people, in the hopes of identifying new research possibilities, finding better treatments and moving us closer toward a cure.The agenda clearly states the need for research into basic questions, such as the age at which psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis appear, how the diseases start and develop over time, and possible differences in how they affect certain groups, such as younger versus older people.
"To successfully answer these questions, and address other research needs, the engagement of the larger dermatology and public health communities is needed," Robertson said. "The Psoriasis Foundation looks forward to creating opportunities to move this public health agenda forward."The public health agenda resulted from a multi-year advocacy campaign by National Psoriasis Foundation advocates and leaders to educate federal lawmakers about psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Congress approved $1.5 million to the CDC in 2009 to begin the first federal effort to collect data on people with psoriatic diseases.

It's been nearly a month since former City Manager of Lynn Haven, John Lynch, passed away.
Tuesday, the commission decided that it was time to start the search for a replacement.
Since Lynch's passing, Public Works Director, Bobby Baker, has been filling in as interim city manager.
They initially brought up the topic at the city workshop meeting, Monday, where commissioners discussed potential salary ranges for the position.
Mayor Kelley felt the original range was too high, with the maximum at $156,000.
The commission eventually agreed to advertise the salary range as $90,000 to $140,000.
They unanimously voted tonight to approve those changes.. And send out the job listing to multiple outlets.
"I think a good salary is what we were paying our city manager that has passed away, 110 thousand dollars. That's a good salary for this city. I have to look out for the tax payer who is paying the bill," said Mayor Walter Kelley.
Also in Lynn Haven, construction has begun at the iconic old Taj Palace restaurant on Highway 77.
The restaurant has plans to get a completely new look as it becomes an Asian inspired restaurant, called Tokyo.
Plans for the restaurant include a sit-down style menu and a full service bar.
The opening date is expected sometime around the first of the new year.
Mayor Kelley said they are looking forward to the new dining option and joked that more competition doesn't hurt.
The commission also granted the construction company who is responsible for the Highway 77 sidewalk project, a 39-day extension to complete the task.
The extension will be at no additional cost to the city.
The project is running behind due to the overwhelming amount of rain during the 4th of July.

Area hospitals have treated several people for frostbite and other weather-related issues since record-breaking temperatures descended on the Chicago area.
Two people have been treated for frostbite at Swedish Covenant Hospital in the North Side Lincoln Square neighborhood, a statement from the hospital said.
The first, a 64-year-old homeless woman, was released in good condition Monday afternoon; while a 36-year-old man was released in good condition Tuesday morning, the statement said.
Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn has also treated two patients for frostbite, according to spokesman Mike Maggio.
A man who had been working outside was treated for second-degree frostbite to his ears and released Monday, Maggio said. A second person was treated for frostbite Tuesday morning and released.
"We haven't seen a lot of cases," Maggio said, noting that the hospital had seen more patients from weather-related crashes than frostbite cases.
In the past 24 hours, the emergency room at Northwestern Memorial "has seen 10 cases of cold related issues (only one of frostbite) and an additional 10 patients for slips and falls," spokeswoman Sheila Galloro said.
At Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, "We have seen four cases of frostbite and four people with hypothermia," spokeswoman Nora Dudley said.
NorthShore University HealthSystem (Evanston, Highland Park, Skokie and Glenbrook hospitals) has seen "three cases of frostbite and one heart attack, possibly related to shoveling," according to spokeswoman Collette Urban.
A spokeswoman for Little Company of Mary Hospital and Health Care Centers in Evergreen Park said, "We did see a few cases of frostbite."
While the number of frostbite patients a Chicago hospital may treat varies from year to year depending on temperature, frostbite patients aren't unusual, according to Swedish Covenant spokesman Nick Przybyciel.
"The number of patients we've seen come through our emergency department over the last few days isn't unusual for a cold snap of this severity, where the city had enough time to provide warning and implement emergency plans," Przybyciel said.
In west suburban Aurora, the Fire Department has responded to 50 ambulance requests in the last 24 hours, Lt. Craig Mateski reported. Of those, "19 were due to weather-related auto accidents, various slips and falls; and two were related to frostbite."
Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove has not had any reported cases of frostbite, but has "seen 26 falls and 10 motor vehicle crashes, all weather-related," spokeswoman Camille Vicino said.

Greenville police said a teacher who resigned earlier this month sent obscene text messages to two students.
Police said 40-year-old Michelle Jensen turned herself in to authorities Thursday.
Officials said an investigation into Jensen, who was a science teacher at JL Mann High School, began after another teacher reported overhearing a conversation between students. They said the investigation revealed that Jensen sent sexually explicit text messages to two students, including pictures of herself.
Oby Lyles, spokesman for Greenville County Schools, said Jensen resigned when the investigation began on Nov. 9.
Jensen was charged by police with two counts of unlawful dissemination of obscene material to a minor and two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
On Thursday night, deputies with the Greenville County Sheriff's Office charged Jensen with sexual battery and contributing to the delinquency of a minor after they said she had sexual contact with a 17-year-old male student.
A judge set bond at $13,000 on those charges. Jensen is being held in jail until her Friday morning bond hearing on charges filed by the Greenville Police Department.

CATEGORIES Comedy, Horror, Romance, Casting, New Releases, Movies, New Releases, CinematicalSigourney Weaver has an impressive résumé: alien killer, Gozer's gatekeeper, doctor in charge of the Avatar program...and now she can add one more title to the list: vampire queen. The actress has joined the cast of Amy Heckerling's new romantic-horror-comedy (there's a phrase you don't see every day ... ), Vamps.
Weaver brings some credibility to a project that sounds like it could be interesting, but is coasting on the reputations of Silverstone (who hasn't done much of anything since the turn of the century) and Heckerling, who's never duplicated the success of Clueless. Sigourney will be playing Ciccerus, the age-old vampire whose fledgling vamps (Alicia Silverstone and Krysten Ritter) are living the life in New York until they are plagued by that stupid human emotion, love. Each girl will have to make a choice that jeopardizes their immortality and I'm guessing it resembles making a choice between Team Ciccerus or Team JacobEdwardSomeGuy.
But really, I echo Monika's statement that this could be a fun flick if Heckerling and the gang can pull it off. I love a good horror comedy (Army of Darkness, Dead Alive, Shaun of the Dead, etc.) and romantic horror seems to work pretty well where films like Dracula are concerned, but I'm not sold on this whole romantic-horror-comedy thing. Merging two genres is tough enough. Vamps gives me two very distinct (and distinctively different) vibes: it could end up being something like Buffy the Vampire Slayer -- in tone, if not in actual vampire slaying -- or it could be too much like Clueless, but with bloodsuckers. Option number two is not promising. Is Sigourney's addition to the cast making you any more interested in the project or does the idea of a romantic-horror

We all know that LGBTIQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer) people in many countries are targets of discrimination, persecution, violence and even murder. This is despite scientific research showing that homosexuality is a natural variation in human sexuality, occurring in about 10 percent of the population, and not an abnormality or perversion, let alone a disease.
This is not the case in Indonesia, where homosexuality is technically not illegal (except according to bizarre South Sumatra and Palembang regional ordinances), but that doesn't mean LGBTIQ people aren't subject to discrimination. Read the full story.

I first heard of them when i herad the song "Kryptonite" which i am sure everyone has heard. I liked that song right away. This is a great album. My favorite tracks are Let Me Go, Be Somebody, Right Where I belong, and The Real Life. Give those tracks a listen and you will like this CD too.
3 Doors Down Biography - 3 Doors Down Discography - All Heavy Metal Bands

The album, recorded at Ocean Way Studios in Nashville, Tennessee, and produced by Johnny K (Finger 11, Disturbed) features twelve original songs, including the road-weary ballad "Landing in London" featuring Bob Seger. Seventeen Days is the band's first studio album since 2002's multiplatinum Away from the Sun and the first new material since 2003's RIAA Gold-certified live EP Another 700 Miles.From Escatawpa, Mississippi, 3 Doors Down is Brad Arnold, lead vocals; Matt Roberts, guitar; Todd Harrell, bass; and Chris Henderson, guitar.

Ever since "Kryptonite", I've been a fan of Three Doors Down. They've always kept originality, which bands like Nickelback, 311, and others have lost. Well, sadly, we might have to add Three Doors Down. I guess being away from the sun so much made them lose originality.
Looking for "The Better Life", you'll become dissappointed. Looking for "Away From The Sun", you will also become dissappointed.
About 90% of the songs on this album are slow, and quite tiring and boring after awhile, but "Live For Today" and "Right Where I Belong" as being exceptions. Actually, I do go for more slower songs. But, I don't like slow songs scattered around the CD.
I don't see anything truly dramatic or outstanding on the CD. There may be some radio airplay, but I don't think any of them will become #1 like "Kryptonite", "When I'm Gone", or "Here Without You". All of the songs are good, but not outstannding. I'd recommend lowering your expectations before buying this CD.
Maybe they are trying a different style, or maybe they are leftovers from earlier albums. You decide. Now, time for the vitamin shot, and on to the next CD.
People trying to compare 3 Doors down to their First CD..The Better life..Should stop..this band has changed it's sound..and they're better for it..I'll just go track by track..
Right where I Belong-Fast and Furious opener with great heavy guitar work..Solid opener.
It's Not Me-Probably Their 2nd Single..Arnold Explodes in the chorus..Their next radio hit for sure.
Let Me Go-You've all heard it..probably the stand out track on the album.
Be Somebody-My Favorite So far..Arnold reaches deep into his emotions to bring out a song that anyone could relate too..beautifully done.
Landing in London-A Modern Turn the Page..With an appearence by Seger himself..Probably the third single..again slow and mellow.
The Real Life-A little harder..this is more for fans of the Better life..Which I didn't like too much..Skippable track for me.
Behind those eyes-Another one of my favs..Good work on guitars..Solid Ballad..Again Arnold's Vocals are damn near flawless.
Never will I break-Hard Track here..not my thing really..but still likeable.
Fathers Son-The Lyrics are quite intense and spooky..And I belive theres an opera in one part,hard rocking fun song..
Live for today-Like it..signature 3 Doors Down..don't want to spoil it for you..
My world-Damn similar to Road I'm On From Away From the Sun..This track is short..but it really builds up from the beginning with frantic hard rock in the middle..well done.
Here By Me-Easily the slowest Track 3 Doors Down has ever done..sappy sappy lyrics..and you know what..I like it…Arnold can sing anything well..and proves it here.
In conclusion..people need to get over themselves..3DD is never going to make another Kryptonite..so Stop asking for one..They show great diversity..and Go from Metallica to Country to Soft Rock Flawlessly..which many bands can't do…So if you're looking for Excelent Ballads..Fun Rock..and touching lyrics..Or just want to have a good time listening to an Album…this is for you.
"Seventeen Days" sees 3 Doors Down take their Southern rock style and give it a harder, more metal edge (thanks in no small part to producer Johnny K, who has also worked with Disturbed and Drowning Pool). "The Real Life" alternates a wall of sound with more restrained choruses (perhaps they were influenced by Nickelback during their summer tour in 2004?), and harder/angrier songs like "For Today" and "Right Where I Belong" definitely show that 3DD is heading in a more hard-rock direction.
But the group returns to its trademark sound in the final track, the ballad "Here By Me", which blends a quiet melody with tender lyrics and a deeply personal vocal delivery.
All in all, it's definitely a solid album if you are a fan of this band.
With their third studio album "Seventeen Days," 3 Doors Down have cemented their status as a formidable force in the music scene. The LP, while not as instantly likable as 2002's "Away From the Sun," maintains the group's radio-friendly tendencies for captivating melodies and cutting lyrics.
The set's lead single, "Let Me Go," a sizeable hit across several different radio formats, best summarizes the strength of the group. Still, superb cuts further abound, such as the stirring "It's Not Me," which was previously released on their 2003 live EP "Another 700 Miles." Over the top with conviction and passion, the performance is even stronger in its studio rendition.
The grating "Never Will I Break" and the soaring "Live For Today" rock hard and summon repeated listens, while "Father's Son" serves as a gripping tale of the plight of an illegitimate child.
"Maybe I'm just crazy or the devil got inside/But either way my soul is gone/I've learned this all night/The one hand throws the whiskey/And the other throws the gun/As he cries out to the heavens/I am not my father's son."
"Landing In London," which is performed with classic rock legend Bob Seger, examines the life of a traveling musician longing for his home and family, while the following "The Real Life," quite possibly is a continuation of the story:
"But I woke up to real life/And I realized its not worth running from anymore/When there was nowhere left to hide I found out/That nothings real here but I wont stop now /Until I find a better part of me."
"Be Somebody," which explores the relationship between a son and his mother, shoots a bulls-eye at the heart. So too does the concluding "Here By Me," a tale of longing for that special someone who does not reciprocate the same feelings, which is accompanied by gut-seizing instrumentation that perfectly mirrors the somber state of mind the lyrics create.
Despite the fact that it is permeated by gloomy subject matter with lyrics that range from unadulterated defiance to the deepest sorrow, "Seventeen Days" is filled from top to bottom with potential smash-hits, making it the group's most solid release yet.

An OpenGL-accelerated desktop with Xgl and Compiz
A member of Suse's X11 team delivers an insider's look at Xgl.
Mac fans were ecstatic when Apple introduced the Quartz Extreme [1] graphics interface, which accelerated desktop effects using 3D hardware. Microsoft's Windows Vista with its Aero technology looks to close this gap with the Mac. In the world of Linux, Xgl [2] now provides a comparable and even more advanced technology that supports similar effects. Xgl is an X Server by David Revemann that uses OpenGL to implement graphics output. When a program tells Xgl to draw a line, Xgl passes the vertices to the OpenGL subsystem, which then sends the matching commands to the graphics hardware. Despite this emphasis on OpenGL, Xgl also retains the protocol that existing applications use to talk to the X Server, removing the need to rewrite application programs.

The 49ers claimed S C.J. Spillman off waivers from the Chargers on Tuesday and waived CB Tramaine Block.
Spillman is in his second year and played in five games, recording seven tackles, in 2009 with the Chargers. He notched six special-teams tackles in five games this season in San Diego.
The 49ers also released FB Jehuu Caulcrick from their practice squad.
The way we see it
With the loss of veteran S Michael Lewis, this can add some depth at the position behind rookie Taylor Mays. Spillman also has plenty of special-teams experience to bolster that unit.

After the NJ Shore Marathon on 5/3/09 by NJSHOREMARATHON - over 5 years ago
"Custom Ink made my first marathon (NJ SHore Marathon) even more special. I raised more than $4.5k for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and ran 26.2 miles on a rainy/foggy Sunday. Having my family there was an amazing support system and I wouldnt have been able to see them as easily without these shirts!!! They came out great and were a HUGE hit!! CustomInk had great customer service and I would highly recommend them to anyone. My shirts arrived exactly as I expected, true to size and early to boot! The marathon was a hit, and my spectators had a blast!"

The Fountains' first truly enjoyable family outing was to the Norwalk Aquarium. The Stamford couple – Jem works 24 hours on/72 hours off as a Stamford firefighter and Cindy works at the non-profit Domus – had brought their boys to the aquarium before. Ryan, 4, and Thomas, who turns 6 next week, loved the fish.
But because Thomas, like many others with autism, has the tendency to wander, mom and dad didn't get to see the fish.
A recent study published in the journal Pediatrics found that 49% of autistic children (598 in a sample of 1,218) had attempted to wander at least once after the age of four. The term sounds benign, but the tendency has led to numerous deaths in traffic accidents and by drowning.
"Wandering," also referred to as elopement, translates to a life of constant vigilance for those charged with monitoring an autistic child's safety. A wily 5-year old like Thomas can put himself in harm's way in a heartbeat.
"He's fast," said Jem. "He's stealthy." Living on tenterhooks was a way of life for the Fountains. "I would say, 'I got him' and Jem would know exactly what I meant," said Cindy, describing the couple's tag-team system for assuring there were eyes on Thomas at any given second. We never realized how stressed we were."
But that was before Gabriel.
The day Cindy got the call from Guiding Eyes for the Blind (GEB) saying there was an autism service dog ready to pair with Thomas was a happy day indeed.
The call was a great surprise because the Fountains had been told to expect a two-year wait and it had only been 18 months. But the matching process is not first-come first served, but rather about finding the right fit.
The 3-year old yellow Labrador named Gabriel was provided free of charge through GEB's "Heeling Autism" program. BEG's autism service dogs are initially fostered by "puppy raisers." Then, along the way, a dog like Gabriel receives hundreds of hours of training from countless staff and many of GEB's 1,400 active volunteers.
And, long before Gabriel came to live with the Fountains, there was an extensive application process, which included a home visit. GEB staff brought an autism service dog to the Fountains' to practice "the hook-up," to see if Thomas was allergic (he wasn't) and to make sure he liked the dog (he did). The Fountains were then placed on a wait list.
Fast forward to this September when Jem attended a week-long class in Yorktown Heights, NY, where GEB has its training center. Attending the program along with Jem were four other parents, each paired with a dog. The dogs had been taught many commands, but Jem and the others had to learn to issue them successfully, and work as a team in a variety of settings. Trips were taken to the Danbury Mall and the supermarket, where service dogs must ignore potential distractions like food on the ground or loud noises.
After Jem and Gabriel completed their weeklong program, Cindy joined for a daylong training. Then, at last, after a graduation ceremony, GEB staff delivered Gabriel to the Fountains' home.
Life with Gabriel
Now, esconced with the Fountains, Gabriel's routines are old hat. When his service vest goes on, his training kicks in. In fact, his demeanor visibly changes at the sight of the blue vest.
Once the vest is on, a 3-foot cord tethers him to a special belt worn by Thomas. As they walk along, Thomas typically holds the handle on Gabriel's vest, but he also has the freedom to let go. "He can stop to pick up a leaf or a feather," said Cindy. "It's good for his confidence."
Before Gabriel arrived, even a quick errand was impossible unless both parents were present. "I couldn't just walk down our street with both boys. Ever. It was isolating," said Cindy.
Indeed, having a child with autism is isolating, not just for the child, but for the entire family. So, it is not a coincidence that 95% of autism service dogs are Labradors.
"One of the reasons Labradors are chosen for autism service is to make the child approachable and accepted by their peers," said Michelle Brier of GEB. "Labradors are both wonderful family dogs and highly adaptable."
That said, Brier explained that any time a dog is wearing a service vest they should not be disturbed. "But, if you see the Fountains, by all means stop and say hi," she said.
Life is less stressful now for Cindy and Jem. If they're out and about and Thomas bolts, Gabriel plants himself and pulls in the opposite direction. Still mindful of Thomas, Cindy and Jem say the entire family has more freedom. Asked about potential future family outings Jem and Cindy didn't hesitate. "Camping," said Jem. "Disney 2014," added Cindy.
Gabriel can go anywhere other dogs typically cannot. This includes restaurants, airplanes, hospitals, and the dentist's office. While Thomas attends Westover School, where he is in a class with 6 autistic children and mainstreamed for specials like P.E. and recess, Gabriel stays at home. Often Jem will take Gabriel to a explore a new venue while Thomas is in school. They learn the lay of the land in advance, then return with Thomas over the weekend.
Describing the recent period of adjustment, Cindy reflected. "We were still mourning the loss of the future we had envisioned for Thomas when we learned we were getting Gabriel. Before Gabriel, we didn't have to let the world know our boy had autism." Cindy stopped to pat Gabriel on the head. "Once he arrived we couldn't keep the autism secret."
Now, tethered to Gabriel, the reaction of strangers is different. Maybe, in the past, if Thomas had a tantrum, strangers would react negatively. "Having a child with autism can be isolating," said Cindy. "But guide dogs make you feel welcome, included, encouraged, and people are very curious. They ask questions and are incredibly happy for us. The reception has been great."
Thankful for the gift of Gabriel
Describing the September graduation ceremony when she became very emotional, Cindy reflected. "This is the biggest gift we will ever get as a family. How do you possibly ever say thank you for a gift this big?"

Dear all,
I am creating a list in which i display 7-8 fields. So am retrieving all the data from RMS in a hashtable:
HashTable ht = new HashTable();
ht.put("id", "first name#last name#age#gender#address#phone number#bank name");
After this method free memory is: 142756 kb
On other side if i create 2 dimensional string array or vector to store this information, 652588 kb free memory remains. So, Hashtable is more efficient but causing me out of memory exception when list size increases. Can you suggest me which one i should use, which is more efficient for huge list because heap size is very limited (2MB approx)

Born survivor Florrie marks her 100th
5:04pm Wednesday 21st November 2012 in News By Freddie Whittaker
AFTER surviving a flu epidemic which killed most of her family, Florrie Pratt was lucky to escape the devastating bombing of Coventry in the blitz.
Despite Mrs Pratt's tragic loss, she went on to enjoy a long and healthy life and yesterday celebrated her 100th birthday, which took place on Saturday.
Born Florence Neville in Northbrook, near Kirtlington, on November 17, 1912, she was one of six children.
Her family moved to the Lamb Inn at Bladon, near Woodstock, when she was very young.
When she was just five disaster struck, and her mother, father, eldest sister and baby brother died in the 1918 flu epidemic.
Orphaned, the four remaining children were separated, and another of her sisters died two years later from meningitis.
Mrs Pratt moved to London to live with relatives before moving to Coventry to live with an aunt and uncle at the age of 10, and only returned to Bladon to be reunited with her sisters at the age of 16.
She met and married Ted Pratt in 1936, and during the blitz in 1940 the pair took refuge in an air raid shelter for 13 hours, and emerged homeless. Luckily their daughter Judith, two, had been evacuated to Hanborough.
The pensioner said: "I always thought I would reach 100, and it feels wonderful. We struggled through everything, everybody pulled together and we got through it."
After the blitz, Mrs Pratt and her husband moved in with Ted's mother until they managed to rent a house in Kenilworth and ran a green grocery stall in Coventry Market. Second daughter Jennifer was born in 1947.
They lived in New Road, Long Hanborough for a couple of years, where Mrs Pratt worked in the Co-op and Jennifer went to Witney Grammar School. They then moved back to Kenilworth where Ted died aged 66 in 1973. Mrs Pratt moved back to Hanborough in 1991, to be near sisters Beatrice Grant and Sarah Bowden.
She lived in a flat in Main Road before moving to her bungalow in Pinsey Road, where she still lives.
A party was held in her honour at the Long Hanborough day centre yesterday, and she received her card from the Queen.
She said: "I knew I was going to have one, so it wasn't a big surprise, but it was wonderful to open it. I've had a lovely time, I can't thank everyone enough."
Mrs Pratt also has three grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

Richard Blanco visited the English department to offer a master class and read from his recent work. Blanco is the author of several books of poetry, including Boston Strong, Looking for the Gulf Motel, and Directions to the Beach of the Dead and was the featured poet at President Obama's second inauguration.
The English program provides a bridge between the written word and the human experience. Our students hone their ability to read situations and people, employ critical and creative thinking, and develop clear and persuasive communications skills. Flexibility in thought and perspective is in great demand in today's world, and English majors consistently are able to adapt to careers involving complex thought and implementation.
1. Students develop a close-knit learning community taught by dedicated and accomplished faculty.
2. Specializations in English studies, literary studies and writing studies.
3. The English program regularly invites top-name poets and writers to campus. Speakers have included Gwendolyn Brooks; Poet Laureate Donald Hall; and Nobel Laureate Seamus Heaney.
4. Easy access to plays, museums, and other cultural activities in New York City.
5. English faculty frequently sponsor short-term study abroad opportunities in England, France, and Italy.
See Requirements
English majors lead rich, interesting lives by exploring the world of ideas through the study of great fiction, poetry, drama, and essays. By exploring both classic and contemporary masterpieces, English majors grapple with the essential questions of human values, aspirations, and wisdom.
Our graduates are prepared for ongoing engagement with critical theory and a thinking life. The ability to read closely and express oneself eloquently are excellent benefits of an English degree. Many of our graduates attend graduate school, and some find an English degree perfect preparation for law school.
"CSE has brought me closer to becoming the person that I truly want to be - a leader, a loving friend and daughter, and a hardworking student."

A World of Apps & APIs
Applications – and specifically mobile apps – occupy a key battleground for companies trying to woo customers, differentiate their products and drive growth. This is happening across many industries but banking provides a good example. Mobile applications that put banking services in the palm of your hand have become a much more important differentiator than interest rates, which were previously used to lure customers. A well-designed mobile app drives a more engaging experience for customers and this, in turn, drives customer acquisition and retention.
During the recent Apps World show in San Francisco, we saw some examples of this trend and the extraordinary growth right across the application ecosystem. Of course, behind every great app there's usually a great API and my "State of the Union" address on APIs highlighted the hard work and success we've seen over the past few years. But it also served as a reflection on the key areas enterprises much consider as they accelerate innovation via APIs and engage customers in new ways.
Identity and security were recurring themes and we'll certainly be hearing more about these issues in the coming months. With public awareness of mobile exploits and loss of personal information growing fast, mobile app security is going to dominate the thoughts not just of product managers everywhere but also those of lawmakers seeking to define stricter legislation to protect consumers.
In this context there's an increasing need to double down on the fundamental requirement for strong-but-user-friendly identity and security functionality in mobile apps. For developers building apps against enterprise APIs, meeting this requirement can be extremely challenging. Thankfully, enterprises can simplify the situation by leveraging the advanced identity and security features of API Management platforms. Right now, app security is often a stumbling block but – by making some smart infrastructural decisions early on – enterprises can turn it into a serious differentiator.

The Roanoke City is looking to attract new businesses to Peters Creek Road.
Last year the city bought more than 11 acres of property along the road to build a new library, but recently those plans changed.
Now Roanoke's Economic Development Office is tasked with developing the property.
Director Wayne Bowers said this spot is different than what the city usually works with, but it has a lot of potential.
"We have our industrial park, which is suburban in nature but is pretty well focused. Most of our other sites are in downtown," he said. "This is a unique site and a unique opportunity.
Bowers said interest has been light so far, but he expects the right business will find the Peters Creek location attractive.

I have to admit, I have never been a big fan of Penn (or Teller for that matter) but I listened to his first book and loved it and so, I decided to listen to this title and LOVED this even more. Penn is very smart and he is simply hilarious. Also, as a narrator he does an excellent job reciting his own work. Aside from the humor, there's actually a great deal of truth in what he preaches and his inclusion of George Carlin, Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins helps the credibility in that. In addition, the parts about his parents' death were very touching and emotional while some parts of the book may be considered a little raunchy for some. Even still, overall I thought this was a great listen and without a doubt, I will definitely be recommending this title to all of my friends!
Great book, very funny and yet, very truthful and educational – even from a guys' perspective, especially if that guy has a daughter in their late teens like I do. Well written and loved the narrator too. Also loved the comments on how adults never have vacation because you are doing twice the amount of work before and after while stressing about it during. So relatable!
I've already purchased the hard copy version as well and can't wait to recommend the book to my 18 year old daughter!
Found this book entertaining, funny and interesting. I love that Rachel narrates the book - her voice really makes the story come alive. I would definitely recommend.
