NHL hires first European official
May 20, 2010, 3:45 PM EST
The NHL has hired the first European-trained official, as Swedish
referee Marcus Vinnerborg will make his way over to North America next
season. Vinnerborg will start off in the AHL while making pit stops in
the NHL, with the hope of eventually becoming a full-time NHL official.
Vinnerborg is an accomplished international competition official,
having worked four IIHF World Championships, the Junior Hockey
Championships and most recently was an official for the 2010 Olympic
From the NHL's press release:
"I am very honored to be the first European to have this
dream-come-true opportunity of working in the NHL," said Vinnerborg. "I
hope that this will help to lead the way for other European officials in
the future as well. Personally, I look forward to having the chance to
work with, and learn from, the best officials in the best league in the
This is yet another step that the NHL is taking in embracing
international hockey, and not just taking the best players from abroad
for the league's teams. While there has certainly been some frustrations
between the NHL and international hockey, specifically when it comes to
the Olympics, more and more it's apparent the league is working to
expand the game as much as possible.
Now, if only we can get rid
of that dang trapezoid.

Construction starts again on Roosevelt Road
Three communities hope to finish $9.5M street project by mid-November
After taking a brief break during the doldrums of winter, a $9.5-million construction project on Oak Park's southern border is back in full swing.
Earlier this month, crews started work to replace the sidewalks and catch basins on Roosevelt Road on the Oak Park side between Harlem and Oak Park avenues. The city of Berwyn commenced a similar effort on the other side of the busy street about three weeks ago.
Oak Park, Berwyn and Cicero are teaming up to reinvent the stretch of Roosevelt from Austin to Harlem. The project, which first broke ground in September, will include installing decorative streetlights, brick sidewalks, benches, bike racks and trash bins.
After finishing the first stretch of sidewalks, the communities will then repave Roosevelt between Harlem and Oak Park, according to Oak Park Village Engineer Jim Budrick, followed by the same between Oak Park and Ridgeland, and finally Ridgeland to Austin.
About $4 million of the project is being funded through a grant from the Illinois Transportation Enhancement Program, along with another $3 million from the Illinois Department of Transportation. The remainder of the contract is being split among Berwyn ($1.3 million), Oak Park ($1 million) and Cicero ($250,000).
Budrick expects the work to wrap up in mid-November, about three months behind schedule because of a labor strike last year.
Roosevelt has been through the gamut of construction of late, including a $1.2-million "interim" resurfacing completed last September. The business district hopes to stay a step ahead of any potential harm the upcoming construction might cause to businesses along the stretch, said Paul Zimmermann — an Oak Park resident, president of the Roosevelt Road Business Association and owner of properties on both sides of the street. Budrick said the communities have been holding weekly construction meetings and continually updating business owners on the progress of the project.
"I think everybody is just going to do their best to get people to come on down and let them know that businesses are still open," Zimmermann said last year before the project started.

@Ray Johnson: I'm glad to hear that there's a plan underway for Madison Street...hopefully it will be more than just a plan, but actually get acted on! Btw, how will the planned housing project in the Comcast building impact the grand vision for Madison street?

I don't know about installing benches. Berwyn has them in front of the gas station at Roosevelt and Harlem. They seem to attract a group of odd characters who sit there day in and day out.

Thanks for the quick responses, Marty and Ray! I missed that article and wasn't aware of the plan, but welcome any improvements on Madison.

The Madison Street Business Association and the Planning Committee for the implementation of the Madison Street Plan are currently working on a framework that would enhance Madison throughout Oak Park. Both groups include business owners and residents at large as appointed members to the committee. I expect design schematics for the street will be revealed in the 2nd Quarter. Stay tuned for more details as their work continues.

The corner at Maple is getting bumped out, to enhance pedestrian safety. There will still be two lanes of traffic on Maple. As for the tot lot on Maple, the planning process for the new park design addresses the protection of children in the playground. If stop signs are needed at Harvard in the future, staff would review the issues similar to other stop sign requests.

The intersection at Home and Roosevelt will be outfitted with bump outs and special crossing lighting (in-pavement lighting). This was part of the overall streetscape plan from the very beginning. Culvers was a known entity throughout the design process and all elements of the design and construction incorporated their location. Staff practice includes reevaluating traffic patterns after a project has opened to ensure the publics safety.

Thanks for your swift response Mr. Johnson. I see in this image Maple Street is being reduced to one lane. Does this mean no entry from Roosevelt? The family at 1184 Maple has been asking for 15 minute parking in front of their home for years. I think it would actually help Salerno with pick ups. Is this possible? Is it possible to get a stop sign at the tot lot(Harvard Street)? Thank you.

That's a good question, Shannon. I'll ask today.

Posted: March 18th, 2011 8:31 AM
I have a question... will they be putting in a stop light at Home and Roosevelt road? The traffic trying to turn on to Roosevelt is already tuff enough leaving Jewel and now with the Culvers being built it will be even worse!

Google Adds Meme Generator & Hashtag Auto Complete To Google+
Today Google announced the addition of two new features to Google+. One of the features is quite helpful and time saving, the other … not so much.
Hashtag Autocomplete
The first item coming to Google + is an auto-complete feature for hashtags. This will allow popular hashtags to appear when a user enters the '#' symbol.. This looks quite similar to auto-complete for search, and can be seen in the included video clip.
Meme Generator
The second feature that is being added is a built in meme generator for user photos. In case you have been living under a digital rock, a meme is a viral concept (usually silly) that users adopt across the internet. Most memes coming in picture form, and Google+ is now looking to capitalize on this.
In order to create a meme, a user must simply add a photo to Google+, clicking "add text" and save. This could replace the existing meme generators, or simply annoy all the Google+ visitors with an influx of meme related content.
Here is a close up of the hashtag auto-complete:
And are my thoughts on Google+ meme creation – in meme format:

Peggy King named Doo Dah grand marshal
Written by Staff Reports Thursday, February 14, 2013 12:00 am
|< Prev
|Next >
79-year-old baton twirler Betty Lambert will be a special guest
OCEAN CITY — "Perky" Peggy King of Philadelphia, who starred on the George Gobel show in the early days of television, will be this year's Doo Dah Parade grand marshal on April 13.
King, one of television's first singer celebrities, will be joined by syndicated cartoonist John McPherson, and 79-year-old baton twirler Betty Lambert, as well as 500 basset hounds, as she leads the 28th annual parade.
King has toured with the country's leading big bands including Charlie Spivak, Ralph Flannigan and Ray Anthony and appeared with Mel Tormé.
During her career, she made guest appearances on many of the most popular shows of the era including "American Bandstand," "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson" and the Jack Benny, Bob Hope and Ed Sullivan shows.
McPherson is the cartoonist behind "Close to Home," which appears in 300 newspapers throughout the world. Numerous books of his work have been published. Majorette Betty Lambert from Harmony, Pa., who leads the Resurrection Band, will twirl her baton and do splits during the parade.
The basset hounds will also participate in the hilarious Basset Hound Olympics set for 1 p.m. Friday, April 12 at the Ocean City Tabernacle grounds, Sixth Street and Asbury Avenue.
Following the Olympics, humorist Dr. Joel Goodman will present a program on the benefits of humor 3-4 p.m. at the Ocean City Library, 1735 Simpson Ave.
Also on April 12 at 7 p.m., a Doo Dah Comedy Show has been scheduled for the Music Pier, Boardwalk and Moorlyn Terrace. The show will feature songs by King, a cartoon talk by McPherson and the annual appearance of the impersonators of legendary comedians, who also ride in the parade. These include Groucho Marx, Charo, Jack Benny, Abbott and Costello and Lucy performers. Admission for individuals or families will be by donation of canned or dried food for the Ocean City Food Cupboard or a donation of $10 for the cupboard.
The evening will also include a Tribute to Soupy Sales, rescheduled from last year because of technical difficulties. Trudy Sales, Soupy's widow and a former June Taylor dancer, will participate in the event.
The parade begins at noon on Saturday at Sixth and Asbury, goes down to 12th Street, then proceeds to the boardwalk, concluding at Music Pier.
An awards ceremony will be held at the conclusion of the parade featuring King, McPherson and Lambert. This is followed by the colorful PieAsco, when folks sit in grandstands and smoosh each other in the face with shaving cream pies, the kind Soupy Sales used on his television show.

Korean pop-wave aims for lasting prosperity through 'glocalisation', diversification
In 1998, a group of entertainment insiders gathered at the French vacation spot of Cannes to attend Midem, an international entertainment market. About 20 groups from the local cultural content market participated.
"We returned with less than positive responses," recalled Lee Gyeong-hee, a former journalist and YG Entertainment executive, at the Global Culture Exchange Forum held on January 31 at the Press Centre in downtown Seoul.
In 2013, a total of 67 parties participated in the same event. Things have changed.
"At the reception desk we received requests for meetings and aspiring pop stars left their sample CDs every day," Kim Min-seok, an official at the Korea Creative Contents Agency, told The Korea Herald.
The highlight of the event was Korean pop-sensation Psy attending the grand opening and receiving an honorary award at the NRJ Awards. Psy, who has stayed at the No. 2 spot on the US Billboard Chart for seven straight weeks and topped the charts of nearly 20 countries around the world, said, "I can see, 'Am I famous in France?'" and was greeted by a flurry of shouts.
It's not only Psy. Thousands of people are uploading videos of themselves dancing to K-pop hoping to be picked up by Korean talent agents. Japanese, Chinese, American and other foreign "budding stars" are knocking on the door of Korean showbiz to be recognised in Japan, China, other Asian countries, some parts of Europe, America and even the Middle East.
"It is the renaissance of Korean culture. When have we ever been so welcomed?" said Park Gil-sung, chairman of the World Association for Hallyu Studies.
The government, businesses and even academia are gearing up to study this unusual phenomenon. What is hallyu and where does it stand today?
Born as craze, continues success
According to the Hallyu White Paper released by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the term "hallyu" was coined by a Chinese newspaper in 1999 describing the Korean TV drama and pop music boom among Chinese youth.
Since then, the term has been used to describe all "victories Korean cultural content has garnered overseas".
Even Korean culture experts assumed the boom would subside soon but year after year, from TV dramas to movies to pop songs, the Korean pop culture boom is growing stronger. According to the white paper, Korea sold US$228 million worth of television content, $196 million in music content, $15.8 million in films and $2.3 billion in online games overseas in 2011. More than 3.3 million people have registered with various fan clubs for hallyu stars around the world.
Industry insiders attribute the phenomenal success of hallyu to its well-structured production system.
Ahn Suk-joon, head of the music business division of CJ E&M, one of the largest entertainment firms here, said the well-furbished nurturing system worked well.
"From planning to training and management of their future activities, we have created a system of nurturing artists according to individual characteristics and market needs," he said at the global forum.
Some suggested passion as the main driver.
"I was impressed with Korean singer Rain's motto, 'Sleep when you die.' I think such absolute energy of K-pop is the reason for the success," said Patrik Messerlin, a professor of Economics at Sciences Po Paris at the same forum.
The early adoption of a social media-oriented marketing strategy also gave Korean showbiz an edge since its counterparts in the US, Japan and Europe were slow to use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube.
The global internet giant Google has been running a K-pop section, which is a rare "PR privilege" allowed to a handful of entertainers outside the US YouTube has also been a useful gateway for Korean pop stars to present their content without the "help" of traditional media outlets and to approach a broader range of fans directly.
"We have to remember that YouTube and K-pop groups benefited each other and became a very successful model," said John Hirai, head of music partnerships at YouTube Japan & Korea.
Sustainable hallyu
Sustainability of hallyu has become important not only among businessmen but also among policy makers and others who realise that hallyu is more than a product ― it boosts the nation's brand and other industries. According to the Hallyu Future Strategy Forum's 2012 report, hallyu was worth 5.6 trillion won in economic value and 95 trillion won in asset value.
"Now it is time to talk about sustainability," said Yoo Jin-ryong, dean of Hallyu Graduate School at the Catholic University of Korea.
Some entertainment firms are going "glocal," adopting a combination of global and local strategies. Such practices include casting nationals of target countries, producing them into Korean-style entertainers and releasing them in both Korea and the target markets. Hankyung of Super Junior, Wang Fei Fei and Xia of Miss A, Nichkhun Buck Horvejkul of 2PM and many others are successful cases of such a production style.
CJ has also launched singer, actor and model Nat Thewphaingam, more commonly known as Natthew, to reach into the Thai market.
"He gives familiarity to his countrymen while delivering sophisticated and trendy Korean K-pop style," Ahn said.
Nik Powell, director of the National Film and Television School in the UK, pointed out that the quality of content would matter the most in the future. At the global forum, Powell cited the cases of popular British artists such as David Bowie, Adele and others who had managed to capture public attention not only with their singing abilities and appearance but also with their ability to write songs, delivering their own characteristics and philosophy.
"If the Korean music industry bases its development on artists and their content development, especially in song writing, the resulting changes will be highly beneficial to the health of the Korean entertainment industry," he said.
"We must be alert against 'hallyu fatigue,'" said Park Gil-sung. "The only way to do this will be to diversify the content ― not only boy or girl bands but capable artists should be able to create global content and promote it," he said.

Here's a completely useless though totally fascinating U.S. map that shows the location of over 1,000 breweries. You just roll over it with the mouse and it instantly zooms in. Man there's a bunch in the New England area. Anyway, you can buy a 7 square foot paper version of the chart too if you like. I might, if for no other reason than I found an east coast brewer named Ass Clown.

Cougar Town Returns On Valentine's Day On ABC; Sheen's New Sitcom Anger Management Premieres In June On FX
Yesterday we hinted that the Cougar Town season premiere date would be revealed and it was. We broke the news on Twitter that the series will return for its third season on Tuesday, Feb. 14 - Valentine's Day - at 8:30pm. The comedy will air Tuesdays at 8:30pm. It has a 15 episode order (down from the original 22 it was given last May) since it is launching in mid-season. The series will air repeat free from Feb. 14 to May 15. On the third season premiere episode "Ain't Love Strange," Jules (Courteney Cox) is miffed when Grayson (Josh Hopkins), who has an ulterior motive, calls her "predictable," while Ellie (Christa Miller) frets that little Stan is turning into a "devil child," or even worse, could grow up to be like Laurie (Busy Phillips) and Travis (Dan Byrd) likes his new off campus housing, until Bobby (Brian Van Holt) tries to convince him to take dog Travis in.
Cougar Town is essentially replacing Work It, which was pulled after just two episodes. Repeats of Last Man Standing are airing for the rest of January in this timeslot. It is unclear right now what is airing at 8:30pm on Feb. 7, but Cougar Town will launch the week after on Feb. 14. Show some love and watch Cougar Town on Valentine's Day! Penny can!
FX announced Sunday at the TCA Winter 2012 Press Tour that Charlie Sheen's sitcom adaptation of the Adam Sandler-Jack Nicholson big screen comedy Anger Management will premiere in June 2012. Previously it was announced just as "Summer 2012." He'll fill the Nicholson role of an anger management counselor. The series of course will mark Sheen's return to television following his firing from the CBS sitcom Two and a Half Men last year following his erratic behavior. Sheen was on hand at the TCA winter press tour on Sunday.
FX also airs reruns of Two and a Half Men, so the new sitcom is a perfect fit for them. Ten episodes will air for sure of this new comedy and if ti does well, it will get a bulk order of about 90 episodes. There is plenty still to come on Anger Management, such as an actual premiere date and timeslot. So you'll want to stay with us, but we just had to mention that it was being introduced at the TCA winter press tour.

Classic holiday play, A Christmas Carol, to be performed at Clovis Community College {0}
This winter, Clovis audiences are in for a holiday delight as the Clovis Community College Company Class is set to perform the Charles Dickens classic A Christmas Carol.
Under the direction of CCC theater instructor Christy Mendoza, the class has been working since August on an adaptation of the play written by Romulus Linney, the late American playwright and novelist. The CCC Company Class has previously performed Linney's work with their production of Holy Ghost in 2010. Mendoza is a personal fan of Linney.
Dana Albright, CCC psychology instructor, has played various roles in six of the class' previous productions. For A Christmas Carol, he is playing the roles of two of the play's legendary ghosts. "My goal is to play an extra spooky Marley in the beginning of the play," he says. Albright also plays the Ghost of Christmas Future. "We are hoping for a lot of seasonal appreciation that comes with holiday traditions and stories," Albright added.
The cast and crew for the production is comprised of community members and students from Bella Vista Elementary, Yucca Junior High, Choices Alternative High School, and Clovis Community College. Each year, the selected performance gives students and community members a chance at refining their acting abilities for local audiences while meeting new people. Even the play's set was built by students, designed and constructed primarily by Wayne Davies, who has recreated the rooftops of London, Scrooge's House, and more.
"In terms of set and costumes, this is the largest play that we've done," Mendoza said. "Period pieces are harder because they're expensive. You can't just run to Walmart and buy a top hat or a frock coat. Everything has to be rented or built from scratch, and that's just what we're doing."
Tickets are available now at the CCC Cashiers' Windows, or at the door (upon availability), for $10. Children, seniors, and military tickets are $8. The four performances will be held on December 11, 12, and 13 at 7 PM, with a final matinee performance on Sunday the 14th at 2 PM. All performances will be held in CCC Town Hall.
For more information, please contact Christy Mendoza by calling 575.769.4950 or firstname.lastname@example.com, or contact the CCC Cashiers' Windows by calling 575.769.4035.

The luckiest dictator in Africa
As Uganda goes to the polls, its 25-year president has struck oil – and good fortune
Sunday 06 February 2011
On 18 February, the polls will open in Uganda, a country now known to be floating on so much oil that it could slide down a slipway, across Kenya, and into the Indian Ocean. Up for grabs is the presidency, all parliamentary and local government seats; in short, everything. And that oil. After being left to its own devices for two similar elections in the past decade, the former protectorate has again come under the gaze of Britain's fickle eye.
At the very top, Stetson wedged on, rap propaganda pouring forth from his election bandwagons, stands the President, Yoweri Museveni, in power for 25 years and leader of the National Resistance Movement (NRM). Seeming to take their lessons from history – in many cases an open, raw and still weeping history – a large number of Ugandans, in all likelihood another clear majority, seem reluctant to vote for change. Few blame them, and given the black gold sloshing around, even fewer are rushing to urge them to change their minds.
Since independence in 1962, when Britain handed over the reins of power to King Edward Mutesa II, there have been five regime changes in Uganda, none of them free of bloodshed. From Milton Obote to Mr Museveni via Idi Amin and several of his own Generals, gaining power in Uganda has necessitated a protracted period of violence. Nothing has made the people believe it is possible this time. "I want change. If a change happens, I will be the happiest woman in the world. But it will not. It cannot," Christie, a 27-year-old female Kampala taxi driver tells me.
For here is where a quarter of a century of peace, public stability, and continuous economic growth jostle and dance in the halo above Mr Museveni's head. In 2008, as the West flailed pathetically in the worst of the global financial meltdown, Mr Museveni still succeeded in leading a country with economic growth at 7 per cent. The expectations for 2011 are for growth of at least 4 per cent, and maybe as much as 10 per cent. And all this before the effects have even been felt of the 2.5 billion barrelsof oil (at a conservative estimate) found by the FTSE 100 company Tullow Oil. When you add the laudable reduction in HIV/Aids rates which have been overseen by Mr Museveni – from a prevalence of 15 per cent of all adults in 1991, the figure now stands at under 5 per cent – you can see why the President feels he deserves to stay.
Whispers may have started, after the 2001 election, of systematic intimidation, violent persecution, and endemic bribery. They may even have grown to shouts after the 2006 version. But if this was really a land of African corruption, where were Mr Museveni's palaces in the jungle? Why did Swiss banks not house half the country's resources in its vaults? And what was the first lady doing shopping in Kampala when she could have gone to Paris for the day? The answer seems to be that here the corruption is less the collection of baubles and more the accumulation of power.
The West may not have listened back then, but it should start opening its ears now. With 2.5 billion barrels of oil, great power comes easily; so, too, should great responsibility. Mr Museveni may not have followed the example of Zaire's late president, Mobutu Sese Seko, or other legends of lavish corruption, but his reported actions, seen in the cold light of our "good governance" era, are, in their own way intimidating.
In this election, promises are handed out as easily as back-slapping. Many focus on the appalling state of the roads. Driving through a particularly bumpy patch in Kampala's Kasanga district, Mike Kironde, a teacher, pulls over and starts talking to road workers as we wait for a dumper truck to drop its load. Laughter erupts as he suggests that it is all an elaborate, last-ditch "bribe" to the electorate from the President. Midway through last November, just over 10 weeks before the election, Mr Museveni implemented a £241m road improvement scheme.
One senior American businessman working in the capital makes the point that the new government could transform the country's entire road network with the $405m capital gains tax it is expecting from the Tullow Oil deal. He also acknowledges, with a grin, that that it is "unlikely".
In 2005, Mr Museveni reversed his own constitutional laws, allowing himself a third, fourth and who knows eighth term in office. Local reports claim that the small matter of a "gift" to MPs helped smooth the bill's passage through parliament. Allegedly, the success of this "democratic tool" has resulted in an increase in its use, although the price may have increased too. Last week it was widely reported that MPs had received a "brown envelope", containing £5,379, although some MPs are said to have returned the money untouched.
The military has long been under suspicion, its accountability shrouded in clouds of "national security" claims. Indeed, as far back as 2001 the UN was calling for two of Uganda's highest generals to be brought to justice for benefiting from war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. One is reported to be Mr Museveni's brother, the other his wife's cousin. Neither has ever faced trial.
What is remarkable, or perhaps remarkably worrying, is that this head-deep-in-the-sand approach seems to reflect the weary will of the electorate. Twenty-five years of one man, one party, appears to have pushed Uganda past the tipping point of much in the way of change. "What if the opposition come in and do a worse job because they have no idea what they are doing?" taxi driver Christie asks, her eyebrows jutting together. "I was born in 1983, so all I remember is Museveni. The others have no experience. How could they do better?" The President is the status quo. He is safety. It's a powerful weapon, and he knows it.
This entwines itself usefully around the niggling sensation that the opposition may not be any better. "People now see Besigye [Kizza Besigye, the leader of the main opposition party, the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC)] in the same way they do Museveni. He has held on to power just like the President. He should not be here any more. Now all the people are interested in is whether he will lose by more than in 2006," complains Kironde.
It is the third time Dr Besigye has led the opposition fight. In the independent Democracy Monitoring Group report from December 2010, the public are said to have labelled the FDC as second only to the NRM in levels of corruption. The problem for Dr Besigye is that bribery is so embedded that it has become the norm. Nearly 80 per cent of those questioned said that they expected to receive "gifts" during the election. And what is left of the professional classes – a recent estimate suggests that more than 700,000 educated and qualified Ugandans live, love and work abroad – seem accepting of their fate.
As the election campaign marches into its final days, the chances of game-changing momentum seem as remote as ever. Not that this has stopped Mr Museveni and the NRM planning for trouble. Uganda's independent newspaper, the Daily Monitor, has been reporting on the formations of private militia for months. The government does not deny it, but calls them "crime preventers".
Uganda may have universal primary (since 1997) and secondary (2007) education, but it doesn't have jobs. Forevery 400,000 graduates emerging from tertiary education each year, fewer than 10,000 can expect to find stable employment, which means there are approximately 50 qualified Ugandans for every available position. Lots of people have lots of time on their hands.
Such realities mean some violence is expected, particularly after the election, because Mr Museveni isn't going anywhere. But Tullow and its shareholders can breathe easy; they will get their New Year wish for "stability". As James Dharia, one of the countless entrepreneurs fighting for survival in Kampala, says: "The trouble will come when Museveni dies, not when he is still alive."

The U.S. isn't content to devastate Iraq, said Kian Mokhtari in Iran's Kayhan. It wants to keep wreaking "war, mass murder, torture, rape and total destruction" throughout the region. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said recently the U.S. would extend a "defense umbrella" over the Gulf region if Iran does not stop our peaceful nuclear programs. What a joke. Even with its "24/7 satellite surveillance, aircraft carriers, missile cruisers, nuclear submarines, hundreds of fighter jets, thousands of helicopters, thousands of tanks, tens of thousands of paid stooges and 150,000 troops in the Middle East region, the U.S. cannot protect itself." How could it possibly protect others? The region was vastly better off before the Americans came. "Do the U.S .and its allies not get it? GO HOME and SHUT UP!"

I've made a simple image switcher that fades different logos in and out. Example and full source code at http://bit.ly/ewrSgp . I fadeout the image, then queue a src attribute change, then fade back in. It seems to work smoothly for a while but after 20 seconds or so it starts to fade the image back in before changing the src, which then changes instantly and looks ugly. Am I doing this right?
The code that runs the change is:
// fadeout old image, change to new and fadeback in.
// Call function changeimage again.
$(imToChange).fadeOut(600).queue(function (n) {
jQuery(this).attr('src', newimageSrc);
}).fadeIn(1000, function () {
setTimeout(function () {
//recall image change function
}, o.delay);
Thanks in advance.

This stylus features the smallest pen tip on the market and a one-of-a-kind "transparent precision disc" so you can see exactly were your next mark will be. Jot touch has also been equipped with palm rejection, put an end to stray marks from your palm, other fingers, or even clothing! When Jot Touch is being used, this program will only allow your app to register the commands made by the stylus and not from your shirt strings. Jot Touch contains the Bluetooth update to 4.0.

Just plug in the USB adapter to a power source and wait about 15 minuets for the batteries to be fully recharged. Adonit gives the option of buying replacement parts for the Jot Touch as well! Replace everything from the "transparent precision disc," to the 4.0 Bluetooth sensor or send in your Jot Touch and have Adonit replace it for you. Jot Touch is available for purchase at the Adonit online store.

Occidental Petroleum splintering and moving its headquarters to Houston
Send this to a friend
- Jordan Blum
- Reporter- Houston Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
Los Angeles-based Occidental Petroleum Corp. (NYSE: OXY) announced early Friday that it is splintering off into two companies and moving its headquarters to Houston.
The oil and gas exploration and production company is separating to create a new company that will oversee its existing California assets as the state's largest natural gas producer.
Occidental is reportedly the largest oil producer in Texas and already maintains its oil and gas operations and energy marketing offices in Houston at Greenway Plaza. The company extended its lease in Greenway Plaza in March of 2013.
But the change announced Friday will move the overall headquarters from Los Angeles to Houston.
It will have exploration and production operations in the Permian Basin and other parts of Texas, the Middle East region and Colombia. It will also have a midstream and marketing segment and a chemical subsidiary, OxyChem.
"Creating two separate energy companies will result in more focused businesses that will be competitive industry leaders," Occidental President and CEO Stephen Chazen said in the announcement.
The board of directors also revealed that Chazen has been asked to remain as president and CEO to lead the transition and ensure that a suitable management team is in place for Occidental. He has agreed to do so through the 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
Occidental plans to announce the management team of the new California company in the third quarter of the year and to complete the separation by the end of 2014 or early 2015.
The new California company will have 8,000 employees and contractors and will be California's largest natural gas producer and the state's largest oil and gas producer on a gross-operated barrels of oil equivalent basis.
Occidental headquarters in Houston will oversee its operations in the United States, the Middle East, northern Africa and South America.

Is it part of the background? I've never heard of a Windows 8 watermark.
Change the background to a solid color and then post a screen shot.

I just got back from Office Depot with a new HP Pavilion 23. It's up and runnung. Came with Windows 8 pre-installed. Why is there a watermark on the lower right corner?
Can it be removed? It's REALLY annoying.

What's missing from our understanding of the fall of David Blunkett is an emotional handicap that he shares with thousands of fathers who convert bereavement into litigious obsession.
What's missing from our understanding of the fall of David Blunkett is an emotional handicap that he shares with thousands of fathers who convert bereavement into litigious obsession.
It could almost be described as a kind of blindness: the problem is what he and others in his shoes "cannot see" about their emotional and psychological predicament.
The traditional manly script, in David Blunkett's case over-written with Methodism on Sheffield steel, says we must always advance towards our objects with a single-minded determination. Retreat, for such men, is unthinkable. I would earnestly and passionately beg Mr Blunkett to try to see the situation from a wider, less obtusely masculine perspective.
The harsh fact is that all love ends in some form of sadness and bereavement. But for men who have been socialised on Spartan lines, like Mr Blunkett at the Royal National College for the Blind, such sorrow tends to be managed by the stiff upper lip. When love is withdrawn, such individuals try to gain power over the rejecter. Emotional rebuffs are regarded as challenges to be countered by resistance, retaliation or even revenge. A legal term for what they seek is their "rights".
So what "should" men like Mr Blunkett really be feeling? Well, he could say factual things like: "I was horribly played with then dumped"; "I have been cynically used by an obviously damaged female predator"; "Given her infertile marriage, perhaps she unconsciously sought out my potency and was reckless to get pregnant".
But much more to the emotional point would be admissions like: "She broke my heart. I had lived so long in a desert and almost given up hope of renewed love. I actually opened up myself for the first time in my life. She abandoned me."
For David Blunkett's genuine grief I could not feel greater sympathy. But is it because he hides these feelings, or thinks they will somehow overwhelm or un-man him, that he will not give them due release? Perhaps he imagines if he goes further down the "soft" road of accepting pain and depression he will not survive? And so is driven into becoming the opposite of a caring father, as are so many men in similar circumstances.
The overwhelming fact is that, given the mother's rooted objection to a continued personal relationship with him, his only remaining obligation to his (claimed) offspring lies in providing information on his paternity and, if necessary, money.
But the children's interests would be best served by his public silence. Any attempt to muscle in on their lives will cost them. Children need to oblige everyone and cannot take sides: they end up like pastry rolled so thin it crumbles. He should try to identify with the child inside himself that has suffered, not the selfish adult who pursues.
