This just came out last Tuesday and is a really phenomenal album! I've been working on Fela art for over 3 years now, reviving all of the album art for re-release. This however is the first "new" record I was able to work on. We manage to get a scan of the actual poster and ticket stub for this show and used it in the packaging. The inside of the digi-pack is an adjusted version of the actual TDK tap used to record this show (I just so happened to have one of these tapes with the jacket). Although this is a pretty simple package and layout it's one of my favorites I've done to date.
You can pick up a copy of this amazing album here!
ps: Thanks for the great mention on DoneWaiting by good buddy Wes Flexner!

Racing season is poised at the starting line — with the Bridge Run on May 4, Fly-by-Night and the Binghamton University Sprint Triathlon both on May 10, and the Rat Snake Duathlon on May 17.
To kick off racing season, we'll have our annual potluck dinner at 6 p.m. May 12 at Our Lady of Good Counsel Church, 701 W. Main St., Endicott. Please bring a dish or beverage; we'll supply the paper goods. This is our last monthly membership meeting until October, and note that it's NOT the first Monday of the month this time!
Our guest speaker is Jennifer Laurita, the 2014 League of American Bicyclists Educator of the Year. She is a league cycling instructor and national-level training mentor and coach, working with organizations across the United States to teaching bicycling and train-the-trainer seminars. Jennifer is an avid road cyclist and terrible first-time triathlete, specializing in being terrible across multiple disciplines. Jennifer is the author of the book, The Anatomy of Cycling.
By the way, Linda Harding has been responsible for bringing in all the great speakers we've had this year. Thanks for all the hard work, Linda! If you have suggestions for fall, send them her way.
In other news:
The Broome County Triathlon has an important change: The turnaround at the bottom of the hill has been eliminated! The turnaround will now be at the top of the hill. The course will be shorter by a half mile — it will be 11.5 miles — but it will be much safer for cyclists and drivers.
Another change is that high school teams will have their own relay category. The idea came from the Sidney high school students and coach who spoke to our club last month; Bob Beavan passed it on to the county and it was added to the registration form. Teams can be three students or two students and one adult. Students must be entering 7th grade or up to be on a high school relay team. Help spread the word!
The Broome County Youth Triathlon needs volunteers! It takes place right after the adult triathlon on June 28 and takes about an hour. The Chris Thater Youth Duathlon on Aug. 23 also needs volunteers. USAT requires volunteers to sign waivers for both events. E-mail Diana at email@example.com if you can help at either or both events.
Run-bike-run: Is held at 6 p.m. every Wednesday at the Chenango Forks bus garage on Kattelville Road. Please consider volunteering to be a timekeeper at least once this summer!
Open-water swim will start at 6 p.m. on Memorial Day, May 25, at Dorchester Park on the Whitney Point Reservoir. We meet at the north end of the park. The cost to swim is $30 (make check payable to the Whitney Point Swim Club), plus you must be a member of BCTC or the Whitney Point Swim Club. You must fill out a waiver and medical form before you enter the water. There will be forms at the next meeting if you want to fill them out and pay. If you are going to fill them out at OWS, please arrive before 5:30 because the paperwork gets a bit chaotic and we want to get in the water on time.
Post your ride! Club members are encouraged to post a planned run or ride on the BCTC Facebook page; it's helpful for new members to be able to jump in and find training partners.

Twenty years or so ago, I worked at a prominent Columbia-area talk radio station. I worked behind the scenes, pushing buttons and making sure commercials got played when they were supposed to. For a long stretch, I handled the midday shift, from about 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Back then, one of my jobs was airing Rush Limbaugh's titular talk show.
It's been two years since President Obama signed the Wall Street-reform bill that has come to be known as Dodd-Frank. So has it succeeded in creating "safer and more modern rules of the road for the financial industry," as Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner claims?
I was walking through a gigantic American airport last week when I happened upon a plaque which stirred a memory of two stories from long ago. A bit of research on the Internet -- gosh, it's easy to find out things these days -- turned up the information below.
Official Olympic sponsors have uncorked their creative juices for advertising during the Olympic Games this summer. An expected 4 billion people are expected to watch the Olympics in London starting this month and advertising is already looking good.
Political speeches have applause lines and "boo" lines. Which reaction do you think Mitt Romney expected when he promised the 103rd convention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People that, if elected president, he would get rid of "Obamacare?"
WASHINGTON -- We're still a few weeks from summer's dog days and the conventions, and already feral rabidity has set in. Add to the long list of psycho-political syndromes the "Romney Derangement Syndrome."
There's no doubting Mitt Romney when it comes to job creation. Even President Obama's supporters have patted him on the back for it. Unfortunately for the Republican nominee, the devil is in the details.
Many teenagers are desperately seeking employment in these times. I joined them many years ago: in fact, I began work at age 11 and was furious when the "powers that be" decided every person under the age of sixteen had to have a doctor certify that the individual was not harming his health. I made the astronomical sum of a dollar a day at the dime store (98 cents when taxes were removed) and hated the thought of having to have the two dollar test to keep my job. My duties included everything from clerking to all types of housekeeping ...
Bragging about military honors you didn't receive is despicable yet still constitutional, says the Supreme Court. I agree. But help is on the way for those who want to weed out the fakers, if Congress can put aside its own battles long enough.
Not long after I got here five years ago, several teachers came to meet with me to talk about Teacher Forum. At the time, I was picturing this to be the Kershaw County version of some sort of a Teacher Advisory Committee. I was very wrong. The Kershaw County Teacher Forum is so much more. It is a group that really promotes the development of teacher leaders who are ready to help take on tough issues and problems in their own schools, within the District and beyond. It is a model of teacher leadership that needs to be replicated across ...
Kathleen Parker, who lives part of the time in Camden, and I probably don't see eye-to-eye on everything, certainly not in the political arena. That's OK; diversity of views is what makes the world go around for me.
I'm still here.
So I recently took a short trip back in time.
A recent study released by a Washington think tank says school is too easy for most kids in the United States, failing to challenge them and leaving them bored.
With No. 1 draft pick Anthony Davis officially in uniform for the New Orleans Hornets, all 30 NBA teams are now eyeing the top prospects for the 2013 NBA Draft.
WASHINGTON -- If politicians preying upon your attentions this season fail to inspire, you might seek common cause with the beasts -- the four-legged variety rather than those running for office.
The wild world of sports seems these days to be filled with thugs and hooligans. I really don't mean to paint such a large group of people with such a wide brush, so I'll say there are plenty of athletes, the majority in fact, who are honest, decent citizens who abide by the accepted rules of humanity in all or most of what they do. But, like in most groups, it's the bad apples who get the most attention.
It's said that Bear Bryant, the legendary football coach at Alabama, once remarked, "Every man thinks he knows how to do two things perfectly: grill a steak and coach a football team."
Trees are fascinating biological wonders. From ancient bristle cone pines and towering redwoods out west to our widely diverse Southern forests, the life cycle of a tree provides us with year-round interest. One of the most intriguing and beautiful results of a tree's life cycle is autumn color.
WASHINGTON -- So unpopular is President Obama these days that the (D) following Democratic candidates' names might stand for Denial.
Growing up, I had a hand full of career goals. My parents signed me up for basketball in 3rd grade, which put the idea of playing for the WNBA in my head.
Ah, Prince, how we've missed you. Prince Rogers Nelson has finally "Kiss"-ed and made up with Warner Bros. Records, regaining control of his original catalog of music and put out not one, but two albums worth of new music on the same day.
It's a funny thing. That's what Mama used to say when something baffled her. Like Mama, I prefer that things make common sense. Otherwise, I'll ponder, figure, study, and try to decipher that funny thing until it's somewhat sensible.
In early September, I attended a meeting of superintendents in Greenville. A major area of discussion was the development of a workforce that would attract sustainable industry to South Carolina and how K-12 education fits into this puzzle. To underscore this discussion, the meeting included a tour of the BMW plant in Spartanburg. Wow! This facility absolutely reflects what a 21st century workplace looks like and what many of our students will need to be prepared to enter. I talk a lot about preparing students for their future and not our past. The BMW tour reminded me why this is ...
On Nov. 4, Kershaw County citizens will have the opportunity to vote on the Kershaw County School District facilities referendum. Because of legislation passed by the South Carolina General Assembly in 2014, voters will be able to decide whether or not a penny sales tax that would be collected for 15 years could be imposed in the county and used by the school district to fund the projects in the referendum.

Bizarre tech: Gifts and gadgets
Summary: Ever wanted to know what 'unusual' tech creations are out there?
6 of 11Image
Wiggly evil
Out of every odd USB stocking filler you could find, the "Wiggly Evil" Squirming Tentacle is up there in the top ranks of weird and pointless.
For $14.99, you would be forgiven in expecting an element of storage. But no. It simply.. squirms once you've plugged the product into a USB port.
Via: ThinkGeek
Mini Robot Vacuum
The Mini Robot Vacuum is quite an odd but cute gimmick that actually does have a use -- sucking up the crumbs and dust no doubt covering your laptop's keyboard. Powered by AA batteries, a user simply needs to press the top button and the irritating problem of hard-to-reach debris on your computer is gone.
You can purchase each vacuum for $18 at FredFlare in three colors.
The Hapifork
"I'll start my diet tomorrow."
Many of us have said these words, but a new if slightly peculiar gadget may help you reach your health and weight goals. The HAPIfork is a smart piece of cutlery equipped with Bluetooth radio, sensors and a vibrating motor to track your eating habits.
The fork detects how many bites you take, warns you if you're eating too quickly, and sends data to an application which can be used by the owner to take stock of how much they are consuming. The idea behind the design is that by logging your eating habits, keeping potion sizes under control will be easier.

The Bill Richardson Dance
Sante Fe, NM (2013)
I photographed former New Mexico governor Bill Richardson for a Businessweek piece "How to talk to a dictator" in this weeks "How To" issue. More photos to come, but in the meantime, everyone do the Bill Richardson dance!
"We've gotta do something big, something that will go viral. Like that otter that looked just like Tracy."
Muslims Journey to Mecca for the Hajj (حج)
Spotlight Want to see more photos from this year's Hajj? Search the hashtag #hajj, and visit the location page of The Holy Ka'aba.
Every year, between the the 8th to 12th day of Dhu al-Hijjah, more than 3 million Muslims make the journey to Mecca, Saudi Arabia for the Hajj, or "pilgrimage." All able-bodied Muslims who can afford to make the journey must do so once in their lifetime.
The Ka'aba, which translates to "The Cube," is the most sacred site in Islam, and during the Hajj, it is circled counter-clockwise seven times.
The Hajj began last week, and ends on Monday.
Presidential candidates ask their supporters to "Commit to Vote" on Facebook.
The presidential campaigns both sent out emails to supporters today encouraging them to call upon the power of their Facebook friends to get out the vote ahead of Election Day. Both emails link to the candidates' interactive Facebook applications.
President Barack Obama's email urged recipients to: "Reach out to your friends in Virginia and other battleground states…" and "Connect with your friends and urge them to commit to vote." You can access the Obama app here:http://www.barackobama.com/commit.
The email from Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney's campaign read: "You can make a defining difference by doing something as simple as reminding your Facebook friends and family to get out and vote for Mitt." It also noted that the app "empowers you to rally your social networks to help clinch this election."

A designated section is available for Cremated Remains at the following cemeteries:
Gornal Wood Cemetery and Crematorium
Brierley Hill Cemetery
Stourbridge Cemetery and Crematorium
Lye / Wollescote Cemetery
Cradley Cemetery
Halesowen Cemetery.
Cremated remains plots will be found on request at Dudley Cemetery. These plots are for the interment of up to four caskets of cremated remains.
For the safety of other visitors, please do not place anything breakable on the grave or in the pathway. Preferably nothing is to be placed in the pathway so that there is disabled access to graves and cemetery visitors are less likely to trip over items. However, if you insist on placing some items in front of your grave i.e. 3 x 2 slab, do not come out any further 6 inches (15cm).
Each grave is prepared with clean artificial grass mats for the graveside service. The grave is dug to accommodate usually a cremated remains casket. If this were a re-opened grave then the memorial would have been removed. For new graves there will be a temporary plot marker made so that it will identify that grave after the burial until a permanent memorial is placed on the grave.
You will meet either at the cemetery office or the graveside, depending on what you have arranged. A cemetery official will attend to liaise with the family, minister, and funeral director as applicable. Usually the cemetery official will already have the cremated remains but in instances where this is not the case he/she will check that the funeral director has the correct remains. When everyone is present and group will walk to the graveside. The family will be offered the option on whether a family member wishes to carry the remains.
At the graveside if a minister is present he/she will indicate when the remains are to be placed in the grave. The family will be given the option to carry this out themselves. The family may place flowers on top of the casket.
Normally once the family have the left the graveside the cemetery staff will back fill the grave and place a 3 x 2 slab over the top of the grave with the plot marker if applicable. Any floral tributes will be placed onto of this slab. If you wish to witness this final act then inform the cemetery official who will arrange this.

Are there any interactions between Zyprexa, Cymbalta, Adderall, and Klonopin, or between these and the Crunks drinks?
- Q: My daughter has bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder. She is taking Zyprexa, Cymbalta, Adderall, and Klonopin. She is drinking several energy drinks called "Crunk." She becomes agitated, agressive, and very angry several hours after taking the Adderall and drinking the Crunks. Are there any interactions between the two or with the other meds listed?
- A: Zyprexa (olanzapine) (http://www.everydayhealth.com/drugs/zyprexa) is an antipsychotic that works on chemicals in the brain. The exact mechanism is not quite known. Zyrexa is indicated for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Zyprexa may also be used for other purposes by the doctor. (http://www.everydayhealth.com/emotional-health/index.aspx). Cymbalta (duloxetine) (http://www.everydayhealth.com/drugs/cymbalta) belongs to a group of medicines known as selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SSNRIs). These medicines are thought to work by increasing the activity of chemicals called serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain. Cymbalta is typically used for depression and pain associated with medical issues such as fibromyalgia. (http://www.everydayhealth.com/depression/understanding.aspx). Klonopin (clonazepam) is a benzodiazepine that affects chemicals in the brain. Klonopin is indicated for anxiety. (http://www.everydayhealth.com/drugs/klonopin). Adderall (amphetamine and dextroamphetamine) (http://www.everydayhealth.com/drugs/adderall). Adderall is a stimulant that affects chemicals in the brain that are associated with hyperactivity and impulse control. Adderall is used in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). (http://www.everydayhealth.com/emotional-health/adhd/index.aspx). Crunk is an energy drink made of dietary supplements. Because dietary supplements have not been thoroughly studied in the clinical setting, possible side effects and interactions with other drugs are not well known. Also, because herbs and supplements are not strictly regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, these products are not required to be tested for effectiveness, purity, or safety. In general, dietary supplements should only be taken under the supervision of your health care provider. For more specific information, consult with your pharmacist about the potential for drug interactions based on your specific condition and current medications, particularly before taking any action. When your doctor prescribes a new medication, be sure to discuss all your prescription and over-the-counter drugs, including dietary supplements, vitamins, botanicals, minerals, and herbals, as well as the foods you eat. Always keep a current list of the drugs and supplements you take and review it with your health care providers and your pharmacist. If possible, use one pharmacy for all your prescription medications and over-the-counter products. This allows your pharmacist to keep a complete record of all your prescription drugs and to advise you about drug interactions and side effects. Kimberly Hotz, PharmD

Iran's nuclear brinkmanship is leaving President Obama with few options: push Iran too hard, and energy prices rise. Do too little, and leave Israel in danger. Eurasia Group President Ian Bremmer explains how the U.S. can contain the Iran threat. Part 2.
Video: President Obama's flawed Iran policy
Iran's taunting the West, Israel's rattling its sword, and gas prices are rising. All that puts President Obama's future at risk, Eurasia Group President Ian Bremmer tells Chrystia Freeland. Part 1:
Obama's Iran dilemma could be a game changer
Could it be that the international sanctions against Iran are hurting the Obama administration more than Iran itself? The argument over whether sanctions ever work is an age-old and never-ending debate, and to be clear, that's not the one I'm trying to have in this column. But I do think it's worth examining the negatives of Obama's Iran policy, especially because it is likely to play out during this election season.
Let's start with the background: Iran's recent parliamentary elections went off without a hitch. No major protests (see: Russia), no violence, barely a blip in the Western media. Turnout on voting day was surprisingly high, even for the Islamist republic. That has a little to do with the fact that government is actually quite factionalized in Iran — Khamenei versus Ahmadinejad, yes, but also all sorts of high and midlevel bureaucrats — and each faction worked hard to drive turnout, to be able to pass the hot potato of blame should the election have gone poorly. Well, the election didn't go poorly at all, and suddenly Iran's government looks more legitimate, internally and externally, than it has in years. Reformists in Iran also picked up a large number of seats, and Iran has everything it did before the election — real economic wealth, a social safety net and huge oil resources that it can sell to every country that doesn't adhere to the sanctions, of which there are plenty.
That's the country Barack Obama has to keep in a box to win the election, which is to say one that doesn't exactly look deplorable to large parts of the global community — like Russia, China, nearly all of Africa and even much of the Middle East. The Iranians won't be easy to demonize, and to get the sanctions lifted, they are even making concessions to the Europeans, suggesting in talks they'd be amenable to restarting inspections. They'll play the razor's edge, even as the uncertainty in the oil market and fear of a shock — like an attack by the U.S. or Israel — steadily drives up the price of oil around the globe.
Japan's year of resilience
Almost a year on from a devastating earthquake and tsunami that left the Fukushima nuclear catastrophe in its wake, it's fair to say Japan has experienced a crisis unlike any other since the 1945 bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that ended World War Two.
Over 13,000 people died from the quake, many from drowning. The final death toll, which will include those who were unable to receive proper medical care during the disaster, will be even higher. An estimated 100,000 children were uprooted from their homes after the quake, along with some 400,000 adults. And in the areas affected by fallout from the Fukushima nuclear disaster, cleanup work is really just beginning. With all of this coming in the teeth of the global economic crisis and Japan's national industrial slowdown, the densely populated main island of Japan has not seen anything like this in decades.
Now Japan has to contend with the fact that its primary power supply, nuclear energy, is effectively verboten in the country. How will it rebuild its power infrastructure when the very idea of a new nuclear power plant is dismissed nearly out of hand? How will it rebuild when its costs for construction have skyrocketed thanks to the setbacks its industries have faced this year? How will it continue taking care of the thousands who have yet to return home, many of whom are living in fallout zones and may never even have the option to do so? The challenges facing the country are serious.
The truth about Israel's rumored strike on Iran
At a time when President Obama has moved troops out of Iraq and is moving them out of Afghanistan, it's looking increasingly like our worries in the Middle East are far from over. Maybe it's not unprecedented, but it's highly unusual for a sitting secretary of defense to worry in print (to Washington Post columnist David Ignatius) that Israel could launch a strike against Iran as early as this spring. The point of the Israeli attack, according to Ignatius and Panetta, would be to stop Iran before it begins building a nuclear bomb. The U.S. is saying that it would find such a move foolhardy, and yet also reassuring both the Israeli and American publics that it is committed to Israel's security.
But it's probably not Israel's true intention to strike Iran anyway.
According to Ignatius and many others, the Israelis, led by Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak, believe that waiting for the U.S. to strike Iran is an unwise stance. That's because the U.S.'s threshold for sufficient proof of a nearly finished or completed Iranian nuclear weapon is likely much higher than that of Israel. If such proof came to light, only the U.S. at that point would have the capacity to take out the leadership in Tehran singlehandedly. But such an operation would create a leadership vacuum and leave whoever was running Iran with the bomb. Right now, Israel feels that it can make a dent with its own operation, heading off Iran's bomb-making before it becomes an issue only the U.S. can deal with. But the window for that option is rapidly closing.
Despite Panetta's public warnings, and despite Israel's sudden silence (which many are taking as a sign that it's gearing up internally for such a mission as this one), an attack on Iran isn't as likely to occur in the spring as Washington or Tel Aviv would have us believe. That's because even though new U.S. sanctions on the country went into effect this week, the real test of Iran's economic fortitude will come around July 1, when the European Union's gradual introduction of a ban on oil from the country takes full effect. Unfortunately, even those sanctions are unlikely to do much to deter Iran, as India, China and African nations will likely continue to buy much of Iran's oil production, and they will gain some concessions on price due to the artificially limited market. Nevertheless, Israel will presumably wait to see what happens.
The world's year of reckoning
DAVOS–If 2011 was the year of the protestor, 2012, at least where the World Economic Forum is concerned, is the year of the reckoning. Through the events of the Arab Spring, major power vacuums have been created in countries all over the Middle East. More governments, such as Syria's, are likely to topple. But the time to start thinking about what's next for countries like Egypt is already here.
The thing is, it's coming at an inconvenient time for Western democracy. Having long held themselves as the global models for governance and economic structure, Western Europe and the U.S. have in recent years shown their warts as never before. That has opened the door for state capitalist models — like China's — to take the stage. And the simple fact that new models for how countries and economies should work are even being considered is a blow to the Western world's power and prestige. Obviously, well before the G-7 system broke down, China was already on a path of state capitalism, and that has turned out to be a successful course for that country to chart. But here's the problem: While it has led to wealth and a rise in living standards for the Chinese, it hasn't led to more democracy.
Here at Davos, and in capitals around the world, the paths countries should chart for themselves in the future is always topic A, and what we've learned over these last years is that transforming those countries and indeed the world is about a lot more than simply swapping out the players who legislate and lead. Look at the precarious situation in Egypt. Consider Putin's long hold on power in Russia. For that matter, look at the situations in many countries on the euro zone periphery. Going down that list, nations that have simply replaced one power-grabbing leader with another are in trouble. (In Russia's case, that leader has simply replaced himself.) Countries that have revolved leadership without addressing deeper institutional weaknesses are not setting themselves up for success in the long run.
A Davos winter talk on Russian Spring with Ian Bremmer, Susan Glasser and Gideon Rose
A Russian Spring grows as the prospects of Vladimir Putin returning to the presidency loom. Ian Bremmer, Susan Glasser and Gideon Rose talk with Thomson Reuters Digital Editor Chrystia Freeland about the prospects of an uprising in Russia similar to what we've seen in the Arab world.
About Mitt
The media can't help themselves when it comes to presidential politics, and that's never been more in evidence than in the current Republican nomination battle. For the press, campaign season is its Olympics, the time when reporters' bosses open their wallets to send them to far off places like Dixville Notch, New Hampshire and Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and correspondents can make a career on how well they report on the race. Except this year, there is no race. Mitt Romney will be the nominee, and that's been clear for months.
Yet here's the lead from today's Wall Street Journal recap of yesterday's New Hampshire primary: "Mitt Romney is a long way from claiming the Republican nomination, but he leaves New Hampshire with significant advantages in a field where no single opponent seems well-positioned to stop him or become the obvious alternative to him." While the reporter may merely be acknowledging the mathematics of the delegates Romney still has to win in primaries across the country, the hedging on Romney's inevitable victory, to anyone who follows the day-to-day stories in the campaign, rings hollow at best.
With Gingrich, then Santorum, and Bachmann and Cain before them, news stories always turned to polls to explain the latest in the "anyone but Romney" vote. But the story the media should be telling is that polls during campaign seasons historically change the most and matter the least. Flawed methodology and small sample sizes make even the most rigorous polling little more than a one-day snapshot of popular sentiment, yet poll results are often reported as if they were all but recorded in the county clerk's election rolls.
G-zero and the end of the 9/11 era top 2012 risks
In a video for Reuters, Ian Bremmer discusses the biggest risks facing the markets in 2012 and says the next phase in the Middle East and the post-9/11 environment pose the greatest uncertainty:
As we begin 2012, political risks dominate global headlines in a way we've not experienced in decades. Everywhere you look in today's global economy, concerns over insular, gridlocked, or fractured politics affecting markets stare back at you. Continuation of the politically driven crisis in the eurozone appears virtually guaranteed. There is profound instability across the Middle East. Grassroots opposition to entrenched governments is spreading to countries such as Russia and Kazakhstan that were thought more insulated. Nuclear powers North Korea and Pakistan (and soon Iran?) face unprecedented internal political pressure… Read the full top risks report here.

'Ransomware' tricks victims into paying hefty fines
Beware of this new scam...
Computer users around the globe are being hit by a new kind of virus that freezes their computer and accuses them of committing heinous crimes, like distributing child porn. The threats sound real enough that victims are coughing up $200 to pay a "fine," and virus writer gangs are netting millions, security firms say.
The message that flashes across infected computer screens sounds downright scary:
"You have been viewing or distributing child porn ... violating article 202 of the Criminal Code of the United States of America," says one version, allegedly sent by the FBI. A virus victim supplied the message to NBC news
Victims shouldn't pay the fine, Harrison said, but they should know that various software tools — including free tools available at Symantec — can rid their machines of the virus.

Some decisions are easy. If you want to fly from New York to San Francisco as cheaply as possible, you simply find the airline offering the lowest fare and buy a ticket. You have only a single objective, so you need to make only a single set of comparisons. But having only one objective, as any decision maker knows, is a rare luxury. Usually, you're pursuing many different objectives simultaneously. Yes, you want a low fare, but you also want a convenient departure time, a direct flight, an aisle seat, and an airline with an outstanding safety record. And you'd like to earn frequent flyer miles in one of your existing accounts. Now the decision is considerably more complicated. You have to make trade-offs.
Making wise trade-offs is one of the most important and difficult challenges in decision making. The more alternatives you're considering and the more objectives you're pursuing, the more trade-offs you'll need to make. The sheer volume of trade-offs, though, is not what makes decision making so hard. It's the fact that each objective has its own basis of comparison. For one objective, you may compare the alternatives using precise numbers or percentages: 34%, 38%, 53%. For another objective, you may need to make broad relational judgments: high, low, medium. For another, you may use purely descriptive terms: yellow, orange, blue. You're not just trading off apples and oranges; you're trading off apples and oranges and elephants.
How do you make trade-offs when comparing such widely disparate things? In the past, decision makers have relied mostly on instinct, common sense, and guesswork. They've lacked a clear, rational, and easy-to-use trade-off methodology. To help fill that gap, we have developed a system—which we call even swaps—that provides a practical way of making trade-offs among any set of objectives across a range of alternatives. In essence, the even-swap method is a form of bartering—it forces you to think about the value of one objective in terms of another. How many frequent flyer miles, for example, would you sacrifice for a $50 reduction in airfare? How long would you delay your departure time to be assured an aisle seat? Once you have made such value judgments, you can make sense of the variety of different measurement systems. You have a solid, consistent basis for making sensible trade-offs.
The even-swap method will not make complex decisions easy; you'll still have to make hard choices about the values you set and the trades you make. What it does provide is a reliable mechanism for making trades and a coherent framework in which to make them. By simplifying and codifying the mechanical elements of trade-offs, the even-swap method lets you focus all your mental energy on the most important work of decision making: deciding the real value to you and your organization of different courses of action.
Creating a Consequences Table
Before you can begin making trade-offs, you need to have a clear picture of all your alternatives and their consequences for each of your objectives. A good way to create that picture is to draw up a consequences table. Using pencil and paper or a computer spreadsheet, list your objectives down the left side of a page and your alternatives along the top. This will give you an empty matrix. In each box of the matrix, write a concise description of the consequence that the given alternative (indicated by the column) will have for the given objective (indicated by the row). You'll likely describe some consequences in quantitative terms, using numbers, and others in qualitative terms, using words. The important thing is to use consistent terminology in describing all the consequences for a given objective; in other words, use consistent terms across each row. If you don't, you won't be able to make rational swaps between the objectives.
To illustrate what a consequences table actually looks like, let's examine one created by a young man we'll call Vincent Sahid. The only child of a widower, Vincent plans to take time off from college, where he's majoring in business, to help his father recover from a serious illness. To make ends meet while away from school, he will need to take a job. He wants a position that pays adequately, has good benefits and vacation allowances, and involves enjoyable work, but he'd also like to gain some experience that will be useful when he returns to school. And, given his dad's frail condition, it is very important that the job give him the flexibility to deal with emergencies. After a lot of hard work, Vincent identifies five possible jobs. Each has very different consequences for his objectives, and he charts those consequences in a consequences table. (See "Sahid's Consequences Table.")
Sahid's Consequences Table
As we see, a consequences table puts a lot of information into a concise and orderly format that allows you to compare your alternatives easily, objective by objective. It gives you a clear framework for making trade-offs. Moreover, it imposes an important discipline, forcing you to define all alternatives, all objectives, and all relevant consequences at the outset of the decision process. Although a consequences table is not too hard to create, we're always surprised at how rarely decision makers take the time to put down on paper all the elements of a complex decision. Without a consequences table, important information can be overlooked and trade-offs can be made haphazardly, leading to wrongheaded decisions.
Eliminating "Dominated" Alternatives
Once you've defined and mapped the consequences of each alternative, you should always look for opportunities to eliminate one or more of the alternatives. The fewer the alternatives, the fewer trade-offs you'll ultimately need to make. To identify alternatives that can be eliminated, follow this simple rule: if alternative A is better than alternative B on some objectives and no worse than B on all other objectives, B can be eliminated from consideration. In such cases, B is said to be dominated by A—it has disadvantages without any advantages.

Solar Panel Installation Options for Residential RoofsEllen Marie Siloy October 31, 2012
The roof is probably the best place to install your solar panels assuming there is an ample amount of sunlight to be collected and a good amount of roof area available. This also reduces the chances of having shadow casts that will decrease the solar panel's performance. The high location can also discourage thieves from stealing your panels.
On residential mounting installations for solar panels there are three main options:
A.Hybrid Mount. Also known as "minimally attached system". It uses some structural attachment. It is good when achieving minimal roofing penetrations while giving more security. A good example is the A-frame mounting which can either be screwed on the roof or weighted down using ballasts. A-frame mounted solar panels is a great option for those who want to a perfect South orientation, or for those who have limited space for their solar panels. They are usually placed on flat roofs to achieve an angled position. It is stable on windy areas and A-frame mounting is the quickest option compared to other types of solar panel installation and most models have added roof leak protection.
B.In Roof Installation or Structurally Attached. This is a popular choice when it comes to installing solar panels which are usually with a frame that can be fixed onto the roof and surrounded by a flashing, similar to vent flashings. There are different types of flashings to choose from, they can come with corrugated or deck style flashing. The panel flashings make a perfect fit on roof which prevents leakage in the roof system that increases the roofs life expectancy.
B.Non-Penetrating Ballasted Mounting. Instead of screwing bolts to secure the solar panels ballasts are used to hold the solar array on the roof. This is a good option when minimal penetration is desired on roofs. Since it is not secured on the roof it is suitable for low-wind zones. Ballasts are usually made from stainless or galvanized steel and newer models today offer smaller footprints.
On Types of Roofs:
1.Tile and Shake Roof. This costs more for solar panels installation due to its breakable material. Tile and shake roofs are more brittle than asphalt tiles. It may be best to consult professional installers to do the solar panel installation but will raise the initial costs even higher. There may be an added 10% to 25% on the regular fee for installations.
2.Flat Roof. Due to its flat surface it will need more racks to position on the correct angle. It is usually installed on free standing frames to increase its capability to achieve the right orientation and angle. Flat roofs are more common on commercial buildings.
3.Mansard Roof. Just like flat roofs it has a relatively flat surface which will need added frames to increase the collection ability of the solar panels.
4.Curved Roofs and Complex Roof Systems. For roofs with unusual features it can be a challenge to install solar panels and can further add on installation costs. In 2009 SRS Energy has introduced Sole Power Tile which can be installed seamlessly with curved roofing tiles. This is the first BIPV or building-integrated photovoltaic roofing shingle designed for curved roofing systems.
5.Steep Roofs. This type of roofing can also be challenging to install and will require special cranes to reach areas.
Remember that the type of roof will make a difference in installation costs. Also be sure to stick to the building code requirements since wirings are needed to be installed from the solar panels down to the power and lighting outlets. For areas where weather is unpredictable, frequent adjustments on the orientation of the solar panels may be needed so it is best to install them in a way it can be easily tilted or re-oriented but stable enough that it won't be easily tipped off.

Jamie Moyer Keeps the Aspidistra Flying
From 1998 to 2002 I wrote the Seattle Mariners player profiles for The Grand Salami, an alternative (which is to say: good) program and scorecard sold outside Safeco Field. Here's what I said about a 38-year-old Jamie Moyer for the June 2001 issue:
Jamie Moyer (50)
Position: Starting pitcher
Height: 6'0," Weight: 175
Throws: Left, Bats: Left
Born: 11-18-62 in Sellersville, PA
Signed thru: 2002 season
Family: wife, Karen, and four children: Dillon, Hutton, Timoney, and Duffy
Major League Debut: June 16, 1986, with Chicago Cubs (victorious starting pitcher against the Phillies)
Acquired: from Boston, in exchange for Darren Bragg (July 30, 1996)
Quote: "My job is to get another ground ball and get out of the inning."
When Jamie Moyer wins his 10th game this season he'll pass Mark Langston for second on the all-time Mariners win list with 75. If there's one thing Jamie Moyer knows how to do, it's win ballgames. Since he arrived in our evergreen state in the middle of the 1996 season he's gone 6-2, 17-5, 15-9, 14-8, and 13-10. Even this season, with his strikeout-walk ratio a not-so-hot 23-14, and his ERA an unhealthy 5.28, and the ball flying out of the yard at an alarming rate (11 dingers in 44+ innings pitched), he's still standing tall at 6-1. Which is fine, but we fear some of the other numbers might catch up to him. Has he healed completely from his shoulder injury last April? Is it age? He still worries us. As for becoming the winningest pitcher in Mariner history, well, that'll take some work yet: RJ holds the mark with 130.
Is-it-age. I've got my nerve.
Jamie won 20 that year and 21 two years later. By the time the M's traded him to the Philadelphia Phillies in August 2006 (for Andrew Barb and Andy Baldwin: Thank you, Bill Bavasi!), he'd set the team record for wins with 145, innings pitched with 2,093 and games started with 323. He was second in strikeouts to Randy (he's now third, after Felix), with the lowest walks-per-9-innings-pitched ratio: 2.25. That holds.
Jamie holds. He just won a game for the Colorado Rockies at the age of 49. He's the oldest pitcher to ever win a Major League baseball game.
Forty-nine. That's my age. He's actually two months older than me. Stunning. I've got no words.
Well, I've got these words: Keep the Aspidistra flying. That's a novel by George Orwell, describing an Asian flowering plant, but it might as well describe Jamie Moyer's fluttering, floating change-up.
I should add: I have a friend who's familiar with a lot of the players that have come through the Seattle Mariners locker room, and she's says most of those players are what you'd expect from highly skilled and pampered professional athletes. But two, she says, are class acts and gentlemen: Raul Ibanez and Jamie Moyer. Both are still in there.
Keep the aspidistra flying, Jamie.

The star of Day 1 of SEC Media Days? Surprise, it's Tim Tebow
- 6:46 pm Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009 by Post Staff
HOOVER, Ala. – Tim Tebow was nowhere near the Wynfrey Hotel on Wednesday, but that didn't stop Tebow from being the star of the show on the first day of SEC Media Days.
(I know, I know. And in other news, cats hate dogs.)
But seriously, Tebow will be a larger-than-life figure this season, based on how often his name was brought up Wednesday and the glowing comments opposing coaches and players made about him.
The most interesting moment of the day came during Dan Mullen's press conference, when Mullen, Tebow's former offensive coordinator and now the head coach at Mississippi State, got a little choked up while relaying his feelings about Tebow.
"If you get the opportunity to meet him, spend time with him, he's one of the most unique people in the world. I probably have more respect for him than anybody I've ever met. Just an amazing kid. Just an amazing kid," Mullen said, trying to hold back the tears. "He taught me a very valuable lesson in life: If you can make an impact on someone's life, it's your obligation to do that. And he is one of the most amazing young people out there."
Afterward, Mullen claimed he didn't shed any tears, "but if you get me talking about him long enough, I probably could get one."
Tebow didn't make anyone else cry on Wednesday, but plenty of great stuff was said about him by players and coaches from Kentucky, Mississippi State, Vanderbilt and Arkansas.
Here are the highlights:

Consumer confidence improves: Report
ZyFin Research on Thursday announced the Consumer Outlook Index for February 2014.
The index, which is a barometer of consumer confidence, reflects current and future spending plans, employment and inflation outlook of urban Indian consumers.
It has registered a score of 42.6, an uptick of 0.5 points over the previous month. A score above 50 reflects optimism while below 50 is an indication of pessimism. The cities of Mangalore, Bengaluru, Mumbai and Hyderabad registered the best overall scores for the month.
The index is based on a monthly survey of 4,000 consumers across 18 cities categorised into metros, Tier I and Tier II. With private spending accounting for over 55% of India's real GDP, consumer outlook plays an important role in identifying turning points ahead of time.
Key Highlights of the ZyFin Consumer Outlook Index for February 2014
· The ZyFin Consumer Outlook Index of India grew by 0.5 points in February 2014 over the last month. At 42.6, the index is at its highest since December 2012.
· The overall Economic Sentiment Index improved by 1.9 points to 59.3, as compared to the previous month. Consumers are gradually regaining confidence in overall economic conditions. All 18 cities surveyed contributed to this rise, with Tier 2 cities reporting the biggest improvement in sentiment.
· The Employment Sentiment Index remains in optimistic territory, with a score of 50.4. This optimism is due to improving personal job security, which is reflected across the tiers. Tier I cities are most optimistic, at 51.8, with Tier II cities and metros nearing optimism, at 49.7 and 49.4, respectively.
· The Inflation Sentiment Index remains flat at 23.3, still reflecting strong pessimism. However, we expect this index to improve as consumers are gradually growing comfortable with food prices as measured by the survey. A relatively large number of consumers in metro cities believe that inflation is under control, with a score of 25.6; Tier I and Tier II cities are lagging behind at 21.9 and 20.7, respectively.
· The Spending Sentiment Index remains low. Growing optimism about economic conditions has yet to translate to greater spending, as consumers remain highly cautious. They still feel lending rates are high and will rise further. The index declined by 2.4 points to 29.6, its lowest since March 2013. The February survey reflected a decline in spending plans on durables, vehicles as well as homes. The sentiment was highest in Tier II cities, at 34.1, while metro and Tier I cities declined, to 33.2 and 21.9, respectively.
· Although overall spending plans remain subdued, interesting differences in opinions were observed within the granular responses. For the first time, the Real Estate Purchase Sentiment Index was highest in Tier II cities, at 33.1; sentiment in metro cities dropped for the eighth consecutive month, to 33.
· Consumer outlook in Hyderabad, which was uncharacteristically pessimistic over the five previous months, returned to past levels, seemingly driven by clarity on its political future. Several key indices are now at their six-month high.
Giving his views on the ZyFin Consumer Outlook Index numbers for the month of February, Debopam Chaudhuri (VP Research, ZyFin Research) said, "It is encouraging to note that consumer confidence on employment and overall economic prospects is improving. This improvement should catalyse spending in the near future.
"The ZyFin Business Cycle Indicator has been indicating moderate expansion in industrial activity since January and would gather momentum with rising private spending."

Colorado Technical University Online Phase Two Individual Project July 18, 2011
Block, S. (2007, July 27). Cost of higher education gets more pricey. Retrieved from http://www.usatoday.com/money/perfi/college/2007-07-26-tuition_n.htm
The price of tuition is rising by ten percent. Through the past years tuition is raising more than they are dropping. From the year of 2001 to 2006 average tuition jumped 35% at the public college universities. Education is the key to success. Without an education a person will always struggle to pay the bills although, it is almost impossible to pay off all the government asks for in return. I choose this topic because I do not feel that students should have to struggle to get their education. This is important to my resource because this is where the cost of living starts with college students be charged high interest fees.
Simms, R. (2010, December 2). Why is rent so high? Retrieved fromhttp://www.kimatv.com/news/local/111235164.html
We all know the reason why gas prices are so high now what is the reason for rent to be so high? Rent can go as high as 1,800 per month. An average two bedroom apartment runs around $782. According to Ted Roberts, the head of the landlord association, rent is increasing because of higher homeowners' insurance rates. The landlord must pay a mortgage payment... if they're unable to pay it, they can't keep that roof over the tenet's head either is the excuse that Robert gave KIMA. Although, we all know that it is just the cost of living increasing itself. This is important to my topic because this is one of the major problems that affect the cost of living.

Brands can get more bang for their social media buck if they're smart about their use of hashtags, writes Ana Raynes. That means watching out for customers who use incorrect hashtags to discuss your brand or mention your brand in an off-handed way -- and then gently educating them by modeling correct syntax in your response. "The response should emphasize the correct method for interacting with the brand," Raynes writes.

"Hello World"- Greetings from 64Bit Wine
This year's release of version 1.0 of the free runtime environment Wine is a milestone in itself. Developer Maarten Lankhorst has set another (experimental) stepping stone by getting the first 64Bit Windows program to run.
Lankhorst tells of the "first ever" start of a Windows 64Bit program under Linux, even if it is just a "Hello World" application. His thanks go to Kai Tietz, who was responsible for the extensive changes in the GCC.
A few of the hacks are still far from the mainline, writes Lankhorst, and despite his compiling a repository, it will take a number of patches and some subversion to get it to run properly. His advice is to not even try an installation. Yet.

HAMBURG, NY (WKBW-TV) - The Hamburg School District is now under the control of two assistant superintendents, Colleen Kaney and Barbara Sporyz, as police investigate current superintendent Dr. Richard Jetter.
A source tells Eyewitness News Dr. Jetter is being investigated by police in the Village of Hamburg. Officers are determining whether the superintendent filed a false police report back on May 6th.
On that evening, Dr. Jetter told police, the school board, and Eyewitness News that his vehicle had been vandalized during a school board meeting, and that a note had been left on the windshield.
A source says police are now investigating whether Dr. Jetter's car was actually damaged in a one-vehicle accident in the City of Buffalo the night before the meeting.
This comes on the heels of a misconduct conduct hearing currently going on between the Hamburg School Board and board member Catherine Forcucci.
The Hamburg School Board will meet tomorrow to discuss the matter. The meeting is scheduled for 7:15 a.m. at the Hamburg School Administration Building.

It didn't take long for a new member of the New York Jets to run their mouth about Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.
First-round pick Calvin Pryor, a "self proclaimed trash talker" according to Rich Cimini of ESPN, opened up and discussed his feeling about Brady and the Pats.
Pryor said that when he first got to the Jets, there were two thing he had to hate: the Patriots and the New York Giants. Now this isn't uncommon for a team's culture to expect their players to hate certain rivals, but it was still a bit odd to hear a rookie talking about such a thing before he has even played a snap in the league.
Though it has been a slow news week in Boston, it has been roughly 24 hours and no response from the Patriots. Does anyone expect to hear anything from them? Not a all, as this is not their style. The Rex Ryan school of verbal-assault and public grandstanding is not the Bill Belichick way and it will never be, unless he coaches until he's 75 and loses bits of his mind along the way.
Now part of me likes the way Ryan conducts himself and his team. He does have a certain swagger that many NFL coaches can use (cough Jason Garrett). However, I think he may reprimand a rookie who made such a statement on a New York talk show because Ryan knows that the Pats don't need any more motivation than constantly falling short of another Super Bowl title.
Pryor should be an impact player for the Jets this season and will get at least two chances to square off against New England this season. Though we won't hear anything publicly about, I wouldn't be surprised to see Belichick run or throw at Pryor constantly in their first meeting, just to show the young fellow what life is like in the NFL.

XS Future: New Ideas, Small Structuresby Phyllis Richardson
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
XS Future, the third volume in the successful XS series, focuses on two of todays most challenging design problems—how to conserve space and help preserve the environment. The houses that are profiled here all represent striking, cost-effective, functional solutions located "at the edge of possibility"—remote locations previously deemed unbuildable, sites that face extreme environmental conditions, or simply, designs so daringly provocative that they are literally at the extremity of contemporary architecture. Each project shares the same basic design brief: build as small and efficiently as possible, harmonize with the site, use natural heating/cooling techniques, and, above all, combine aesthetic beauty with ecological sensitivity. Each design is presented with detailed plans, drawings, and photographs and represents the work of up-and-comers at the forefront of architecture. XS Future is a compelling manifesto in a small and charming package that illustrates how extreme creativity, innovative techniques and materials, and ecological responsibility is transforming contemporary architecture.
