HAMLET — James David, a 16-year-old sophomore at Oregon-Davis High School, has missed a lot of school this year. He started feeling intense pain in his leg during the fall semester, and the pain is now so bad that he cannot stand without the help of a brace.
"I'm out of school for the rest of this year, we're pretty sure," said James grimly.
If the new face around town in recent months has that strangely familiar look, you may be a WSBT-TV viewer, and you may have seen Erik Larson, as likely as not alongside his wife (as of New Years Eve) Savanna, formerly Shepard.
PLYMOUTH — Nearly 300 individuals in Marshall County were arrested for operating while intoxicated in 2011, according to a recent report from Sheriff Tom Chamberlin. OWI was the number one reason for arrests last year, followed closely by failure to appear and driving while suspended. Possession of methamphetamine was at the bottom of the top 10, however, which Chamberlin said is an improvement from past years.

PLYMOUTH — The gods of Mount Olympus were known for some pretty quirky antics, but even those were nothing compared to the off beat shenanigans of the gods and goddesses of the latest Plymouth High School Theatre Department production, "Out of Our Greeking Minds" playing Friday and Saturday at the PHS Auditorium. Show time is 7 p.m. both nights.
PLYMOUTH — Members of the Marshall County Election Board came before the County Commissioners this week to request final approval of the polling sites for 2012.
Members Julie Fox, Nelson Chipman, and Roger Wise had given the commissioners a proposed list several weeks ago. Some polling sites have been combined for use with several precincts. Precincts are determined by the number of registered voters.
All registered voters will receive a card in the mail from Voters' Registration informing them of the polling site where they can cast their ballot.
WABASH — It may feel like the first time, but the gang from Foreigner has done it over and over again.

After embarking on a shortened acoustic tour, Foreigner is back to its electric rock roots and will be at the Honeywell Center in Wabash Thursday, Feb. 23.
WALKERTON — The literary magazine of John Glenn High School, the Aerial, was recently nominated for a Highest award from the National Council of Teachers of English. Although John Glenn was beat out by Park Tudor, a private school in Indianapolis, they still received the ranking of Superior. Park Tudor and John Glenn were the only schools in the state to receive the top awards.
PLYMOUTH — Plymouth Fire Chief Andy Metsker has resigned to go into private business.
In late February, he will take a job with Gibson Insurance Corporation as a loss prevention consultant. Chief Metsker has nearly nine years as a full-time firefighter. He was a 10-year volunteer prior to becoming a full-time firefighter. He was named Chief by Mayor Mark Senter May 1, 2008.
During Chief Metsker's tenure the department successfully applied for an AFG grant for the 800 mhz radios. This was a county-wide grant application that totaled $775,000 in equipment.Â
INDIANAPOLIS — While one dream came true for a Plymouth High School graduate, another one of hers fell just a little short.
Jordin Cook, a student at the University of Indianapolis, dreams of a job at ESPN. After her weekend working for Safe Management, a company that does security for Super Bowl and big events like professional games for security and guest services, it was a dream come true. It was her first "big event" and she hopes for many more to come.

Dad Rules.
It felt so strange to be home on 'their day'. I promised not to intrude too much and take over {as i usually do}. Saturday is Dad rules. And so i discovered, just what they get up too when i'm not around...
It is compulsory to stay in pajamas for the entire day. Dad thinks of really ace games to play, like towing your sister around the house and running into the walls. Toys cover the floor of every room. There is chasing, jumping, hiding, bad dancing to bad music and general craziness. Lunch is served late {after my subtle hint} sleeps even later. And if that wasn't enough, Dad likes to put the four man tent up in the lounge room, complete with air mattress, pillows and sleeping bag. Just for something to do.
I was sick and had no voice to argue. It was Dad rules and i had promised not to interfere after all. Nothing better for it, i joined in too. And you know what i kinda had fun. It's not like anything i ever do. The house was a mess, dishes and washing piled high. But none of that mattered, it doesn't really. The most important was the kiddies were in heaven! They had the best day, you could tell by their little dirty faces, they were beaming.
Who knew Dad was so much fun? It was nice to see what they really get up to, and i am sure it was relatively tame considering i was there! I love that they have that day together each week, we all do, it is so good for them, and for me. And who cares about the mess? Not me. Kids will be kids, as will Dads and the mess will clean just as easily the next day. And Dad rules, right?
What do your little ones get up too when left with their Dads? Do they have a set time or day each week that they spend together?

Sounds like they had an ace day!ReplyDelete
What fun, a tent in the lounge room! Who woulda thunk it?!
Isn't it always the way with Dad's.. their rules = not much rules at all!ReplyDelete
Usually on Saturday mornings I try to get out on my own for a couple hours but I usually come home to kids who are having so much fun they only realise they're hungry when they see me arrive home and so *I* have to get lunch for them ALL. But meh, they adore their dad and that's why mum's and dad's are different! :)
Glad our home isn't the only one that let's loose when mum's out :) I think males have this uncanny knack of overlooking all the housework and really spending quality fun time with the kids. And as you say...the housework gets done eventually, making memories are what it's all about.ReplyDelete
That is seriously sweet, and without a doubt what my boys would do if I was out of the house. They have weekends together while I work and come Monday are often telling me how glad they are the weekend is over because Dad was too much fun and they're tired from it. Adorable! I love hearing about them having so much fun with good cop ;)ReplyDelete
This is really cute Jody :o) My littlies have very little 'just' Daddy time. At most a couple of hours per week. But just like at your place, it is ALL about the play. Whether it be in the park on our street, in the backyard raking leaves or in the house, running amok. I agree though, it is essential time for them to spend together and they certainly have their own special bonds xoReplyDelete
Love that your hubby sets the tent up, that's hilarious! :o)
How gorgeous!! Looks like Daddy days are lots of fun and even though you were sick how nice that you were able to join in on all the fun. I hope you're feeling better now xxReplyDelete
You've got to love the "organised-chaos" a day with Dad brings. :)ReplyDelete
And a tent in the middle of the lounge room?! Genius idea! :) This is why Dad's get their reputation for being the fun parent. :) xx
I LOVE that Dad sets a tent up in the lounge room. How fun is that?!?ReplyDelete
...and those wondersuits are just the best thing ever. And aqua is the best colour option by far!

"Had to wipe out my hard drive. iRepo to the rescue!"
Version: iRepo 5.3
Lost all my iTunes files when I had to clean my hard drive. iRepo allowed me to recover all of them. I'll recommend it to everyone I know.
I kind of wish I would have known about iGadget before purchasing iRepo. It appears to have the same recovery function, plus more.
Great program.

'Lucid' is an animation concept that I'm developing for my final university piece, so I thought I would show you guys some concept art.
You can see the drawing process at Youtube.com/GeeGeeMac
As usual it was made in Photoshop, this one took 13 hours and 45 minutes to draw, so its the longest drawing I've done so far!

Yummy Link: The Culprit of Red Wine Headaches

Many people get headaches when consuming red wine. Until recently the headaches were believed to be from red wine's sulfites, however research shows it is actually a group of chemicals known as biogenic amines. — Tasting Room

|by Mr Credit Card
As I mentioned in my previous review of the Chase Ink Bold Card, Chase has come up with four new redesigned business credit card called INK. Today, we are going to look at the Ink Plus and the regular Ink cards. Both are reward cards based on the new Ultimate Rewards program.
Ink Plus Rewards – Let's start with the Ink Plus. You get to earn one point for every dollar that you spend on the card. If you shop with your card at Chases' Ultimate Rewards Mall, you could potentially earn up to ten points for every dollar that you spend on the card.
Card members will receive 10,000 bonus points when they spend $50,000 on the card a year. If they spend an additional $50,000 (ie total spend of $100,000), they will get an extra 15,000 points.
You can earn unlimited points which do not expire.
Chase Ultimate Rewards Program Summary – The Ultimate Rewards program allows you to redeem points for travel items like airline tickets or hotel bookings, gift cards, merchandise and cash rebates. There are three ways in which you can redeem your points for travel. You can exchange points for airline frequent flier miles though so far Ultimate Rewards only have a couple of airlines like United and Continental as partners. You can use their travel booking site to book your travel with your card and you can earn double points for every dollar you spend booking an airline ticket. You can also book your own travel with any travel agent you want and you will get a statement credit using the reward points you have earned.
Free First Year Membership For Priority Pass Lounge – Card members get their first year fee waived for a membership in Priority Pass Lounge. You can also get two complimentary visits a year to any Priority Pass Lounge.
Annual Fee of the Ink Plus – The annual fee of the Ink Plus Card is $60 though the first year fee is waived.
Ink Plus Rewards and Differences – The regular Ink Plus Card has no annual fee and essentially has the same reward features and program. There are a couple of subtle differences. Firstly, you cannot earn any bonus points, unlike the Ink Plus, where you can earn an extra 25,000 bonus points a year depending on how much you charge on the card.
You also do not get complimentary first year free membership to the Priority Pass Lounge and the two complimentary visits that you are allowed a year to the Priority Pass Lounges.
However, unlike the Ink Plus, you get a 0% introductory offer for both purchases and balance transfers.
No Additional Card Fees – Both cards do not charge any annual fee for employee cards.
Verdict and Opinion – Chase has improved their reward program a lot from just a couple of years ago. Let's start with the Chase Ink Plus. I think this card will suit business owners who spend at least $100,000 on the card a year cos you get the extra bonus (though you have to bear in mind the $60 annual fee after the first year). It will also suit business owner's who want to use reward points for travel but are not real frequent fliers and hence do not need to transfer points into miles (cos the Ultimate Rewards still does not have as many airline partners as Membership Rewards and Diners Club Rewards).
The Regular Ink Card will appeal to business owners who would not charge as much to the card (and hence the extra bonus points will not matter), but still want a decent no annual fee rewards credit card. Those looking for a 0% APR deal for either purchases or balance transfer might also want to consider this card.

I'm a bit of a strange duck. Admitting that is the first step, right? Right. I've gotten more eye rolls in my lifetime than I could count. But that's okay. I've learned to accept and embrace my geekness. (Is that a word? No? Ah well.) I'm here to share my Top 10 Quirks.
Kristin Miller

What he wouldn't give to have her fingers rake over his body instead of the keyboard…
Free-spirited bartender Emelia Hudson wants nothing more than to make her Seattle-based bar succeed. But when profits decline, she slips into a dress suit and secures a nine-to-five. After learning that her bar has become property of Wilder Financial, Emelia is determined to get some answers.
Two can play the ruthless business game. If only her attraction to the boss wasn't so intense…
When Drake's twin brother senses that Drake has found his match—and now inherits their father's billion dollar estate—he hatches a plan to take Emelia out. Drake vows to protect her at all costs, but he might have to pay with his own life.

Too funny! In high school, I once tried to read The Exorcist but just having the book in my room freaked me out too much! So it goes without saying, I can relate all too well to the scary movie thing.
Congrats on your release!

Enrolling More Kids in Medicaid and CHIP
The Federal Government Wants States to Find and Enroll About 15 Million Eligible, Uninsured Children. What Actions Are Being Taken? Will They Work?
Both Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) offer health insurance coverage to children in low- and moderate-income families. Enrollment has increased over the past few years—particularly during the recent economic recession—with 40 million children insured by Medicaid or CHIP in 2009.
However, an estimated 7.3 million children remained uninsured in 2008, with nearly two-thirds of them eligible for, but not enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP. In early 2010, U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius issued a nationwide challenge to find and enroll approximately 5 million uninsured children eligible for Medicaid or CHIP.
The Congressional Budget Office estimates that by 2019, 16 million more children and adults will be enrolled in Medicaid because of the expansion. All 50 states and the District of Columbia offer both Medicaid and CHIP programs, but the structure and eligibility criteria differ from state to state.
Medicaid offers a comprehensive benefits package to the lowest income children, while CHIP covers children at moderate income levels, but generally with a less comprehensive benefits package. With states being challenged to increase enrollment in the years ahead – even as most state budgets are severely stretched—it's more important than ever that state leaders learn from what's been working elsewhere.
This Health Policy Brief examines recent efforts to increase enrollment in these programs and how they may inform enrollment efforts under the planned expansion of Medicaid in 2014, and was published online on January 27, 2011 in Health Affairs.

The 31-year-old man who DROPPED his sexual assault case against former Disney exec David Neuman has now refiled the case with some significant changes ... changes that are just plain weird.
Michael Egan held a news conference in April to publicly skewer Neuman, claiming Neuman repeatedly molested him when he was a teenager, at pool parties in L.A. and on vacation in Hawaii.
Egan's lawyer, Jeff Herman, filed the lawsuit in Hawaii because of a forgiving statute of limitations, but then without explanation dropped the lawsuit last week. It probably had a lot to do with the fact that Neuman busted Egan, who signed a sworn declaration in 2003 saying Neuman NEVER did anything inappropriate with him.
But now Egan has filed another lawsuit -- this time dropping all the Hawaii allegations and focusing on allegations of molestation at L.A. pool parties.
In a bizarre move ... Egan doesn't name Neuman in this lawsuit ... he calls him John Doe. But it's clear he's referring to Neuman. The suit refers to Neuman's position at Disney -- there's no doubt it's him.
And get this ... Egan admits he signed that 2003 declaration saying Neuman did nothing inappropriate, but says he signed it "under fear, threats, and duress." The reason that's so weird -- at the very same time Egan signed it, he was on the attack against 3 other men making the same allegations.
Neuman's lawyer has called Egan's tactics a smear campaign and a shakedown of an innocent man.
There are so many sick people in this world !!!
BS lawsuit that will go nowhere!
Must be kin to Donald Sterling
I just hate extortionists.
"Neuman's lawyer, Jeff Herman, filed the lawsuit in Hawaii because of a forgiving statute of limitations, but then without explanation dropped the lawsuit last week."
That should read EGAN's lawyer...
Egan, your lying 15 minutes of "fame" are up from when you perjured yourself the first time. Go away.
This makes me sick. It sounds like this man is jut trying to get money, and using the most f@@@ up way to get it. Of all the things to lie about, especially about someone else is making up sexual things. The accusers life gets ruined. Not only do they have to go through all the legal trouble, they're labeled a pedophile to the world, regardless of whether it's true or not. With that being said, if it really happened why did he drop the suit the first time. Your goal should be to get the sicko off the streets and in jail, not seeing how much money you can get!!
Egan and Herman were counting on public opinion and disgust ?
...weighing heavily in their favor.
Problem being no one believes either.
They're suing an alleged life-style - not actual people.
The weakest thing to ever come around.
Whoa ... back up a minute ... He was supposedly underage but was going to multiple pool parties AND to Hawaii where he was repeatedly molested all those years ago? It seems that someone should be looking at legal action against his parents/guardians too, if these charges move forward. Money Grab!
Players (Egan/Herman) figure if the "Play" doesn't work?
Sue it.
Sue the_play.
Slickness and glibness will backfire each/every time.
Even Gloria Allred turned this case down.
Egan went to her first, she told him get_lost.
What's weird about saying one person threatened you? I had it done to me when I started a valid lawsuit. They brought around the guy who they said was paid $3,000 to kill me. He looked like he would have done it for a nickel. Anyway, I'd sign something too if I had strong evidence someone was going to hurt me or my family.
I believe him. You can't make this sh*t up!
That is the Face of a Liar. Dude's Gay because no straight dude would galavant around saying he had his Butt Cheeks jostled by multiple Dudes.

UPDATED: EDD, Shasta College, Cal Works briefly evacuated after reports of gas leak downtown
Firefighters and Pacific Gas & Electric Co. crews are in downtown Redding today investigating reports of a possible gas leak near Pine Street.
But, after receiving reports of gas leaks at five locations, firefighters determined that leak likely didn't exist inside. The number of reports and distance between them points to the odor coming from outside and being blown through various parts of town, said Redding Fire Battalion Chief Rob Pitt.
He said he didn't know the origin of the smell, but he had determined that it didn't come from inside any buildings.
The smell of gas, which was reported from the Shasta College Downtown Redding Campus to more than a half mile east at Sequoia Middle School. The college briefly evacuated, as did the Redding office of the California Employment Development Department at 1325 Pine St.
said firefighters didn't find any leak at the EDD building, where the smell was first reported.
The Redding CalWORKs office at 1400 California St. was also briefly evacuated.
Reports of a natural gas smell have also come from Sequoia Middle School, off Placer Street near Highway 44, or about a half mile from the Pine Street storefront where the smell was first reported.

iOS 8 introduces new time-lapse camera mode
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Cameras, Cell Phones, Software
One new iOS 8 feature that wasn't announced during Apple's WWDC 2014 keynote is time-lapse video capture. When using the camera app, you can swipe over to the new Time-Lapse option, and set up your device to start taking photos at dynamically selected intervals. So, if you want to capture a sunset, a cityscape, or an animal floating by in the water, when you are all said and done, your iOS device will stich the images together into a video. iOS 8 will be available later this fall.
iOS 8 to debut third-party keyboards, here comes Swype
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Handhelds, Software
During its WWDC 2014 keynote, Apple announced iOS 8 will support third-party keyboards as part of a new extensions capability. You'll be able to set the new keyboard to be used system-wise, and Apple shows an image of the popular Swype keyboard system as an example. The keyboard will be sandboxed so that they can only access text input, although the user will have the ability to also grant the keyboard network access if there are more features that may require Internet access that someone may want to use.
Third-party keyboards will be available in the App Store when iOS 8 is released.
Apple shows off iOS 8 Health app & HealthKit platform
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Wearables, Corporate News, Handhelds, Software
As rumored, Apple has announced its iOS 8 health initiative during the WWDC 2014 keynote. The new Health app will work with a developer API bundle called HealthKit. In iOS 8, apps will be able to report your health data to a centralized location, allowing you to see all the information and stats from different apps all in the same area. Further, you'll be able to choose if you'd like to share health data from one app to another.
Apple announced that Nike and the Mayo Clinic are two of the first to be working on HealthKit integration, while also picturing a Withings blood pressure monitor. Not much more has been announced about the new Health app for iOS 8 yet, but we're sure we will hear more about it closer to the release of iOS 8 release.
Apple reveals iOS 8: Interactive notifications, Messages improvements, and more
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Handhelds, Software
During it's WWDC 2014 keynote, Apple has announced iOS 8, the next major update for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. New features abound in iOS 8 that refine some things, and make others even better. One major feature is the interactive notifications. You know how you might get a text message or calendar invite when using your iPhone? You might be right in the middle of something and don't want to tap on the notification to go over to the Messages app--and in iOS 8, you don't have to. Instead, you can reply right from the notification. You can respond to calendar invites in the same way.
Apple also announced OS X during the keynote as well, which features a new visual overhaul, which was leaked prior to the event.
ASUS PadFone X comes to the US on July 6th for $199
Posted by Ariel Levin-Waldman Categories: Accessories, Cell Phones, Handhelds
So, these days just about everyone owns a smartphone. I own one. You own one. Even my grandmother owns one. If you are part of a smaller group of people, you might also own a tablet of some sort. I own an iPad for instance. And they really fulfill the same role- wasting precious moments of my life on the internet when I really could be doing something productive. Sure, one has a big screen and can't make calls, but I have often wondered why I really need both.
Apparently, so has ASUS. Back in 2012 they came out with the PadFone, a smartphone dock that was also a tablet screen, so you could view your phone in larger than life (ok, larger than phone anyway) detail. But unless you wanted to hop a plane to Taiwan and buy it there, chances are you would not get your hands on one.
Now you can. ASUS announced that starting July 6th, the PadFone will be available on the US market under the name PadFone X through AT&T. It is projected to cost $200. It only works with ASUS smartphones though, so US companies will have to get in the game.
Australian iOS device users get held up for ransom
Posted by Ariel Levin-Waldman Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Mods / Hacks, Software
You've probably heard it by now. There are no viruses on Apple products. They don't run .exe files. They don't get hacked. It's the reason I usually use my iPad to do my banking (that, and a lack of questionable browsing history.) I used to believe that.
Well, now it looks like I have to confront the truth. In a series of cyber attacks that have swept Australia, iPhone users have been locked out of their devices and have received a message saying "Device hacked by Oleg Pliss. For unlock device, you need send voucher code by 100 usd/eur (Moneypack/Ukash/PaySafeCard) to email:firstname.lastname@example.com for unlock."
According to Apple's support forums, the hack seems to operate through the "Find My Device" feature on Apple products, and it seems that the data may have been matched to an eBay breach that occurred earlier in the week.
People with a hacked device should immediately attempt to change their Apple ID credentials and set up multi-factor authentification.
LG G3: LG's new flagship shines with it's 5.5-inch Quad HD display
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Cell Phones, Displays, Handhelds
LG has finally announced its G3 smartphone, it's new flagship device. As previously leaked, the LG G3 features a 5.5-inch Quad HD display with a fantastic 538 ppi count thanks to the 2560 x 1440 resolution--yes, that's the same as you'd find on a 27-inch iMac display. LG was also proud to show off the 13-megapixel rear camera with OIS+ (that would be Optical Image Stabilization Plus) with Laser Auto Focus that the company says allows the camera to focus faster than any other smartphone currently on the market.
Following the trend found on the iPhone 5s and HTC One (M8), the LG G3 has a metallic housing and polished skin on back. While the phone has a 5.5-inch display, LG worked hard on making it usable with one hand. That goal is the inspiration for the Floating Arc design. The volume keys are on back (similar to the LG G Flex, actually,) and the software interface have been redesigned with a flatter appearance.
Of course, the internals have also been upgraded. You'll find a quad-core 2.5GHz Snapdragon 801 processor on the inside, paired up with 3GB of RAM, and your choice of either 16GB or 32GB of internal storage. If that's not enough, you can expand the storage space with a microSD card up to 128GB in size. A removable 3,000mAh battery is definitely nice to see, as is 802.11ac Wi-Fi support. As for colors, you can pick up the LG G3 in red, gold, white, black, violet, and red, depending on carrier. The LG G3 goes on sale in Korea starting tomorrow.
Samsung Galaxy S5 comes to Sprint in Copper Gold on May 30
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Cell Phones, Design, Handhelds
If you're a Sprint customer who is looking to get their hands on the Copper Gold Galaxy S 5, be ready, because May 30th is the day. In just one week's time, you'll be able to get the exclusive hue with its HD Voice and Sprint Spark features in select Sprint markets. Order online or over the phone, and you'll even get a matching Samsung HM1900 Bluetooth headset thrown in for free. Let's be honest though, if you really wanted a Galaxy S5, you probably weren't holding off on purchasing until the Copper Gold model came out, were you?
iPhone 6 will reportedly sport 1704 x 960 display resolution
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Rumors
It's been rumored for months that Apple will launch two larger iPhone models this year, and now 9to5Mac is jumping in with a report on the new display resolution. If correct, we should see the iPhone 6 sporting a 1704 x 960 resolution. That's way up from the current 1136 x 640 resolution found on the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s Retina displays, and would allow Apple to release the phones with a larger display while enhancing the Retina quality of its smartphones. No, it's not 1080p (that would be 1920 x 1080,) but it's close enough that at the rumored screen sizes of 4.7- and 5.5-inches, you'd be hard-pressed to notice.
The number we want to look at here is the pixels per inch (ppi), which will tell us how sharp the displays will be. 1704 x 960 at 4.7-inches results in a pixel density of 416 ppi. On a 5.5-inch iPhone, that drops a bit to 356 ppi. The iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s, comparatively, both have a 326 ppi display, so the new iPhone 6 models definitely will look better than the current devices.
iOS 8 won't be much different from iOS 7 in terms of the design and layout, so instead we can likely expect app icons that are sharper and larger on the home screen, and in-app elements to be clearer as well once developers get their apps updated for the new display. Of course, Apple will have its own first-part apps ready at launch.
Word is that we may see Apple unveil the iPhone 6 at a special event in August, but this info seems solid. If you recall, a couple of years ago we reported that the iPhone 5 would get a bump to a 4-inch 1136 x 640 display prior to it being announced.
Huawei Ascend P7: 1080p, Android KitKat, super-thin smartphone
Posted by Ariel Levin-Waldman Categories: Cell Phones, Handhelds
Huawei is the third-largest smartphone maker in the world, doing brisk business in Japan and Europe, and to a lesser degree in the United States. It wants to increase that ranking and hope that their latest product is enough to corner the US market. With the launch of the Hauwei Ascend P7, it has a hot product on its hands to help reach that goal. Announced Wednesday morning in Paris, the P7 ships with Android 4.4 KitKat and is an impressive piece of equipment. It competes with the other big name brands for system specs, boasting a 5-inch 1920 x 1080 display, LTE network capability, a 1.8GHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor, 13-megapixel rear camera, and 16GB of storage. Seriously, this things blows my last computer out of the water and is giving my new one a run for its money. At 6.5mm in thickness, it's considerably slimmer too.

The fate of Eyal, Naftali and Gil-Ad: Between faith and responsibility
06/22/2014 21:55
I wish the families of the missing teens that their faith in God will serve them well, or console them if worse comes to worst.
Families of missing teens
Photo: TOVAH LAZAROFF
I expect that the situation is easier for a parent who believes in God and/or fate, and does not question God's or fate's motives, than for a non-believer like myself. I remember that I found no solace in what several of my religious friends said to me when my eldest daughter was killed in an accident 19 years ago: that God took her because he loved her. Nor did I find solace in the book
Why bad things happen to good people
(of which I received three copies), though these were certainly not offensive, as was the suggestion of one creature who called me up two days before my daughter's funeral to say that I was being punished for being a "left-wing piece of shit."
I should like to add that anyone crass enough to insinuate to the parents of Eyal Yifrah, Naftali Frenkel and Gil-Ad Shaer that they are being punished for sending their sons to yeshivot in the occupied territories – and I sincerely hope that they have received no phone calls to that effect – is no better than the creature who tormented me.
In my world there is no superior force that directs what happens to us for better or worse, beyond what other human beings (who might wish us well or ill, or act out of indifference) do, our own more or less responsible conduct, and sheer coincidence.
However, no matter whether one is or is not a believer, it is impossible not to feel for the parents of Eyal, Naftali and Gil- Ad. They all seem like very fine, positive human beings, appreciative of all the efforts on behalf of their sons, people one would be privileged to know, irrespective of their beliefs or political affiliations. In this sense all of us – Right, Left, religious and secular – are with them in our thoughts, and hope for a positive outcome to this nasty event.
Some of us may pray. Those of us who do not pray – because we do not believe there is anyone to pray to – simply place our trust in the security forces, which despite their failure on this occasion to prevent the abduction of the three lads by heinous, heartless terrorists, will at least bring this tragic event to the fastest possible and most positive feasible conclusion.
It is a shame that antagonisms of an ideological nature have burst out publicly before the youths and their abductors have been found. I had originally said to myself that I would not write about the controversies before that happened.
However, since the controversies have burst out in full force, and many harsh and even ugly words have been uttered and written on this issue from both sides in the past week, I shall write what is on my mind, beyond the hope for the youths' safe return home.
As I have already mentioned, there is a difference in approach to what happens to us in life and death between believers and non-believers.
However, I find it difficult to fathom believers who do not seem to accept the principle that irrespective of what God does or does not do, we have at least some personal responsibility for our own fate, and certainly for that of our children, and one doesn't necessarily have to believe in the saying that "God helps those who help themselves."
I do not know how many religious Jews accept the statement by Rabbi Dov Lior from Kiryat Arba to the effect that the abduction occurred as punishment for anti-Jewish laws passed by the Knesset. I sincerely hope they are few and far between. To me this statement seems as sacrilegious (Communications Minister Gilad Erdan used the term chilul Hashem, "desecration of God's name) as those of some haredi (ultra-Orthodox) rabbis who have argued that the Holocaust occurred because of the fact that Jews followed socialism, nationalism, Reform Judaism and other "sinful" ideologies.
This is as if to say that God collaborates with criminals like the German Nazis and Muslim terrorists in order to punish his far from perfect chosen people.
But leaving aside the venom that Rabbi Lior and his like spew, I hope we can all agree on the following facts: • There are murderous extremist Muslims, many of them in Israeli territory, who wish us nothing but ill.
• The Israeli security forces might be successful 99 percent of the time in stopping abductions such as the one which occurred 11 days ago, but there is always a chance that they will fail.
• Had the police emergency line been more professionally manned, the chances of the security forces getting the three lads back alive would have been much better than they are today.
• In the absence of a satisfactory political settlement attempted abductions will continue to take place, no matter how effective our security forces or the police emergency line.
• It is more likely that a youth will be adducted from a hitchhiker's station in Judea and Samaria at night, and by means of an unidentified car, than from such a station during the day, in the car of someone he knows, or some Israeli public transportation vehicle.
• Though hitchhiking isn't entirely safe within the Green Line, and ought to be avoided, it is certainly safer than in Judea and Samaria.
I hope we can also agree that just as responsible parents will do everything possible to prevent their daughters (or sons) being sexually abused, and that young girls and boys ought to be taught how to avoid getting into situations in which sexual abuse scenarios are more likely, parents and their offspring should do everything possible to avoid any other forms of harm, including abductions.
In this context the statements to the media by various settlers that "we shall go on hitching rides because it is our right to hitchhike in our homeland" anger me as much as do those by some of my more extreme feminist acquaintances, who claim that women should be free to go anywhere and do anything, and therefore are never responsible in any way for being sexually abused, even if their conduct was irresponsible in the extreme.
On the issue of avoiding sexual harassment or abuse (or any premarital sexual relations for that matter), the religious community is extremely vigilant, to extremes that I frequently even find objectionable when they involve the exclusion of women from the public domain, or denying them equal rights. That being the case I cannot understand why some religious persons from the national religious community object to taking precautionary measures on issues like avoiding abductions in Judea and Samaria.
Where is the moral and/or practical difference? Why is it right to take all necessary precautions vis-à-vis our own people, but not vis-à-vis potential enemies? I do not know where the parents of Eyal, Naftali, and Gil- Ad stand on this issue, and at this point of time it doesn't really matter. However, I cannot help wondering whether in the midst of their great anxiety regarding the fate of their sons they haven't given it at least an inkling of thought.
Be that as it may, I wish them that their faith in God will serve them well, or console them if worse comes to worst.

(CNN) -- Military dive teams and other rescuers worked the dark, cold waters of the Yellow Sea early Thursday in a desperate effort to find nearly 300 people who remained missing after the ferry they were taking to a South Korean island resort sank with breathtaking speed.
At least six people were known dead after the ferry Sewol swiftly listed and then capsized off the southwest coast of South Korea, CNN affiliate YTN reported, citing South Korean emergency response officials. The semiofficial Yonhap news agency was still reporting four deaths early Thursday, mirroring what South Korean officials had told CNN on Wednesday.
At least 164 people have been rescued, according to media reports.
Nearly 300 others are missing, authorities said, but the exact number of passengers aboard the ferry was unclear amid the confusion of the rescue effort.
The bulk of those aboard were students and teachers from Seoul's Ansan Danwon High School heading to a four-day trip to Jeju, a resort island considered the Hawaii of Korea. More than 300 students and more than a dozen teachers from the school were on board, according to officials.
It was not immediately clear if four people that Yonhap reported dead -- three males and a female -- were students, teachers, crew members or other passengers from the ferry.
The ship sank within two hours of its first distress call, which came just before 9 a.m., the semiofficial Yonhap News Agency reported. It's not known what caused the incident.
Helicopters, military vessels and fishing boats swarmed to the scene to help rescue passengers.
Survivors told CNN affiliate YTN that announcements on board the ferry, which also carries cars and shipping containers, ordered passengers to remain where they were after the ship began to violently list.
Others told passengers to jump into the water. Rescued student Lim Hyung Min was among those told to jump.
He told CNN affiliate YTN that he heard a loud bump just before the ship began to list and several off his classmates were flung off their feet. The crew ordered them to don life jackets and jump into the ocean, he said.
"I had to swim a bit to get to the boat to be rescued," he said. "The water was so cold and I wanted to live."
Water temperatures in the area are between 50 and 55 degrees Fahrenheit (about 10 to 13 degrees Celsius), CNN meteorologist Brandon Miller said.
Passenger Kim Seung Mok said that despite his efforts and those of others, he couldn't get to several passengers on one of the decks.
"I stayed till the last to rescue people at the hall," Kim told YTN. "But the water was coming in so fast (that) some didn't make it out."
The search effort resumed about 12:30 a.m. Thursday (11:30 a.m. ET Wednesday) after a several-hour delay, the South Korean coast guard told CNN. The reason for the delay was unclear.
Water temperatures, swift currents and low visibility appeared to be complicating the massive rescue operation, which involved dozens of South Korean military divers, sailors, marines and police officers.
Divers from the South Korean navy searched three of the ship's compartments but found no survivors or bodies, Yonhap reported.
The U.S. Navy ship USS Bonhomme Richard, on routine patrol in the area, diverted to the scene and was standing by in case South Korean officials ask for help, said Lt. Arlo Abrahamson, spokesman for the U.S. Navy in South Korea.
"The Republic of Korea has done a great job in their rescue efforts thus far," he said.
At Ansan Danwon High School, parents clutched their cell phones in an agonizing wait for a call from their children. Officials posted a list of names. Once a confirmation of a rescue came, they circled that name.
At one point, the school announced that all students had been rescued but soon backtracked, to the parents' wrath.
What could have caused the ship to sink so rapidly remained a mystery. The weather was clear at the time of the accident.
Peter Boynton, a retired U.S. Coast Guard captain, said the speed with which the ship sank suggested it had sustained "major damage." He also said that if the ferry's car deck had been breached, it could have quickly swamped the ship.
Battling against darkness, cold, swift currents and trying to find their way through a damaged, upturned ship, rescuers are "up against every sort of obstacle," said David Gallo, director of special projects at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
"It's just an absolutely, positively horrific situation," he said. "It's nightmarish."

Vijay Singh shot a six-under-par 66 to forge a one-stroke lead over Rory McIlroy, Tiger Woods and Ryan Moore after two rounds in the BMW Championship on Friday at Crooked Stick Golf Club in Carmel, Ind.
The 49-year-old from Fiji is at 13-under 131 for the tournament, which is the second-to-last FedEx Cup playoff event.
After McIlroy (68), Woods (67) and Moore (66) at 132 are Bo Van Pelt (69), Lee Westwood (65) and Seung-Yul Noh (66) at 133. Another 14 players are within five strokes of the lead, including Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Graeme McDowell, Padraig Harrington, Adam Scott and Bill Haas, who had the day's best round with a 64.
The star-studded event features only 70 players. Next week the top 30 advance to the Tour Championship in Atlanta, where the FedEx Cup winner will be crowned and receive $10 million.
Singh, a former No. 1 player in the world, has returned to form recently in spurts.
"I've been playing well for two days for awhile now, but I need four days of good playing," he told reporters Friday. "Sooner or later, I think four days is going to happen. And hopefully, it starts this week.
"I guess I want it so bad that I get in my own way. So I just have to get out of my own way and just play. Last weekend I played better, but I didn't play well the first two days. Hopefully, I can go out there and just shoot two comfortable rounds this week."
Woods, who said it's unusual to see someone at 13 under after two rounds on a Pete Dye-designed course, said he struggled despite shooting under par again.
"I didn't have it with my swing," said Woods, who like McIlroy is seeking a fourth PGA Tour victory this year. "Just kind of fighting it around here. You look up at the scores, the guys are just running off. I just wanted to get to double digits today. I felt like that would have been a good accomplishment the way I was hitting the golf ball, and happy to get a couple of more."
McIlroy, a two-time major winner, said he struggled as well, at least compared to Thursday when he shot a 64.
"I put myself in a great position going into the weekend," said the 23-year-old from Northern Ireland. "The round wasn't quite as good as it was yesterday. I didn't hit the ball quite as well. But I still managed to get around in four-under par. I'm very pleased about that. I just need to try and find a little more consistency. It wasn't that bad out there, but just a couple of missed tee shots and a couple of missed iron shots."

Producer: Nu Vintage
Album: HopeLess Act
Avg Rating: 4.6 ( 19 total votes )
As First in Flight State rhymesayer Eddy B. made clear on his first feature, Hope is a precious commodity in the hood where he came up. Trouble, on the other hand, can be found around every corner. On a newly-released mixtape standout, making its world premiere right here on our front page, the emcee calls out to the Man Upstairs for help, asking whether he sees the, "babies dying, mamas crying and bullets flying," on the daily. Receiving no answer, he resolves to continue speaking truth and doing what he can to make a difference. Beatsmith Nu Vintage backs the artist's bars with a mournful, bluesy vocal loop. Fans will be able to find Trouble and many more fresh cuts on Eddy B.'s DJBooth-hosted HopeLess Act mixtape, set to hit our front page Monday, April 29, for free streaming and download.

Gov. Phil Bryant has issued a proclamation authorizing the Mississippi Board of Education to appoint a conservator for the Scott County School District.
The governor's declaration will not cause a loss of accreditation for the district and will allow a conservator to begin addressing issues the Board of Education has identified. The Scott County School District is rated "B" by the Mississippi Department of Education.
Last week, the Mississippi Board of Education amended Mississippi Public School Accountability Standard 2.3, allowing the board to appoint a conservator for a school district when necessary without also requiring withdrawal of the district's accreditation.
Previously, the appointment of a conservator also required withdrawal of accreditation.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Ś It may be hard to recognize Ray LaMontagne behind all the reverb and distortion on his new album, but the singer-songwriter says itÆs the most exposed heÆs ever been on a record.
LaMontagne, known for his acoustic folk ballads, let the songs for ōSupernovaö lead him to a new sonic palate reminiscent of 1960s psychedelic rock, with airy layers of electric guitar, keyboards, drums and echoing background vocals.
ōThese songs, something about the way they came to me, it feels like itÆs a very unguarded Ray,ö LaMontagne said. ōMaybe before I would have been hesitant to put it forward, even to the band I was playing with.ö
Following his Grammy-winning album, ōGod WillinÆ & The Creek DonÆt Rise,ö LaMontagne said he felt more creative freedom to let his instincts carry him toward the songs on his fifth studio album.
ōThis time, for some reason, I just feel like I am at a place now in my career where I can just be less critical when I am sifting through things,ö LaMontagne said in an phone interview from his home in western Massachusetts.
So it became a good fit as well to get producer and Black Keys guitarist Dan Auerbach to record the album in AuerbachÆs Nashville studio. Auerbach picked out LaMontagneÆs backing band, none of whom had met or worked with the singer.
Richard Swift, a producer and musician who plays with The Shins and now The Black Keys, was brought in to play drums. He helped Auerbach with some of the arrangements since they both were heavily influenced by older musical styles.
ōWe donÆt want to just regurgitate whatÆs already existed, but we do love old records,ö Swift said. ōThe idea is to make it timeless-sounding.ö
But he says the sounds were a departure from his previous records. ōI can understand how people might have to disassociate what they normally think is a Ray LaMontagne record,ö Swift said. ōBut itÆs completely Ray.ö
The soft-spoken singer seems to stand out further when pushed into new places by the music, as on ōAirwaves,ö in which he matches SwiftÆs bongo drumbeat with short breathy shouts. Hard to imagine from a guy who was a reluctant performer early in his career.
ōAs far as performing goes, it just took a while,ö LaMontagne said. ōI had to go to a very interior place to get to it. IÆm no poster boy, as everyone knows.ö
The overall upbeat tempo may not be what fans were expecting from the singer of emotionally heavy-type fare such as ōJolene,ö or his most well-known song, ōTrouble.ö But LaMontagne said those kind of songs donÆt reflect him personally.
ōWhen you deliver something, when you sing it, you want it to come from an honest, sort of emotional place so it translates so people can latch on to it,ö LaMontagne said. ōThey are not really personal songs. Not personal to me. But you want them to be accessible to people so they can make it their songs. ThatÆs what songwriters do.ö
With ōSupernova,ö LaMontagne may have finally revealed a bit more of his personality.
ōAnd I am not concerned whether anyone gets it or not,ö LaMontagne said. ō`Cause I really get it. It just feels right, this one.ö

I am exhausted. I am drained. I am spent.
And when I am exhausted, drained and spent, it shows. How do I know this? Because people kept telling me all day. Yesterday was so dreadful, I called my brother to vent. Alex, being the most glorious man to ever live, stopped my work on his way home, to check in and give me a hug. He walked in the office with arms open and as he embraced me in brotherly love, he said, "Fuck. You look like shit."
When Ben finally left last night, he came over to give me a hug goodbye. "Don't worry, Bethy. You're going to kick ass."
"Do I look that worried? Is it that obvious."
"Uh, yeah. Yes. But it's supposed to be like this."
"But still. I look that bad?"
"Yeah, you do……See you Sunday!"
Alex maintains that this blog isn't a true representation of what I'm really like. It's the good version of me. It's the charming and funny version of me. I agree that there's tons I never talk about on here, lots of good drama and scandal and stories that would be fantastic blog fodder. And lots of times I act like an idiot, slut or villainess which I then choose not to discuss either.
"Still, Beth. It's not even that. Sometimes you're quiet. Sometimes you're not that funny. Sometimes, you're a fucking bitch to deal with. That rarely shows up on the blog."
Hmmmm. Fair enough. True, true and true. Alex would know.
So here: This week, I've yelled at cripples and pregnant women, blamed the innocent for my DSL not working, screamed at hobos blocking the road, spilled food and makeup all over myself and didn't care enough to clean it, stole 2 parking places, didn't wash my hair for 3 days, ate like a cow until I made myself ill, drank most of a bottle of Chardonnay entirely by myself while watching America's Funniest Home Videos, and got screamed at dozens of times by dozens of people at work, all leading up to this Sunday when we finally open.
Apparently, I'm also hideous…

Recursive UK petition
9 Responses to "Recursive UK petition"
Those responsible for hanging the people who have just been hanged have been hanged.
This has got to be the most brilliant ploy to legalize state assisted suicide I've seen this week.
It's not actually a recursive function though. Here's some pseudo-code.
// propose_hanging: true if person believes in hanging
// Returns true if the person should be hanged.
bool should_be_hanged(bool propose_hanging) {
return propose_hanging;
}There are only two possible inputs: proposing hanging or not proposing hanging. The stop condition is immediate in either case.
So, maybe "self-referential"? "Reflective"? "Ironic"?
You could propose 'Murder is punishable by public hanging. Public hanging is murder'. That way you would hang everyone in the country….
Reminds me of my favorite quote from the original Bedazzled:
"You realize that suicide's a criminal offense. In less enlightened times they'd have hung you for it" – George Spiggott
Hear, hear! We must, indeed, all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately.
Ah, that's the sound of my faith in the british people gradually being restored :)
Anyone who criticizes this petition should be criticized.
