In my experience a lot of Windows packages have less of a problem with missing dependencies simply because they expect their dependency to be missing, and include it (or a link to it) in the installer as well.

Good luck, and do report back on the exercise.

How to spot a coders comment
Hobbit's original netcat code...
Around 1995 Hobbit wrote "netcat", a useful little telnet/web-broswer substitute. It contained delightful comments, including this:
/* I really want to strangle the twit who dreamed up all these sockaddr and
hostent abstractions, and then forced them all to be incompatible with
each other so you *HAVE* to do all this ridiculous casting back and forth.
If that wasn't bad enough, all the doc insists on referring to local ports
and addresses as "names", which makes NO sense down at the bare metal.
What an absolutely horrid paradigm, and to think of all the people who
have been wasting significant amounts of time fighting with this stupid
deliberate obfuscation over the last 10 years... then again, I like
languages wherein a pointer is a pointer, what you put there is your own
business, the compiler stays out of your face, and sheep are nervous.
Maybe that's why my C code reads like assembler half the time... */
Then there's this little gem:
/* some systems, notably linux, crap into their select timers on return, so
we create a expendable copy and give *that* to select. *Fuck* me ... */
if (timer1)
memcpy (timer2, timer1, sizeof (struct timeval));
rr = select (16, ding2, 0, 0, timer2); /* here it is, kiddies */
if (rr < 0) {
if (errno != EINTR) { /* might have gotten ^Zed, etc ?*/
holler ("select fuxored");
close (fd);
return (1);
} /* select fuckup */
Down with Unicode! Why 16 bits per character is a right pain in the ASCII
... their half dozen terminal sessions.
By sheerest coincidence, I have six tabs going in my Konsole shell window at the moment. That's on this machine.
And I code in C and Python, for stdin, stdout, and stderr.

A fight between two men in Omaha's Old Market ended with one being stabbed and the other in police custody late Saturday afternoon. Police say the victim is not pressing charges and told officers he was the one who started the fight.
43-year-old Zed Whitney is expected to survive after he was stabbed in the abdomen.
Officers were called out on Saturday and found the former suspect, Tracy Finlan, walking away from the scene one direction and Whitney walking another.
According to police, Whitney was intoxicated an uncooperative when they approached him.
A witness tells Channel 6 News he watched the men exchange words before it quickly escalated into a physical altercation at 13th and Howard around 5:20 p.m.
"When you're somewhere so common during the day and even little kids could have been around watching football and then people start stabbing each other it really doesn't make you want to come back down here," said Sizo Mhlanga.
Police say while they still are investigating just what happened, it appears that Finlan was defending himself and that Whitney started the fight. According to witnesses, Whitney was holding Finlan down at one point during the altercation.

From Burberry and Oscar de la Renta to Milly, Marni, and Marc, these major labels might be known for their grown-up goods, but their kids' designs are twice as cute (and, lucky for you, usually about half the price!).

"Every single professor in the Department of English has forced me to become a better writer, both creatively and technically."
Brett Jenkins began her career at Huntington University despising poetry, but was surprised to discover a passion for the writing genre during her years at HU.A 2008 alumna with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English, Brett pursued her Master of Fine Arts degree after graduation. She continued her education at Bennington College's Writing Seminars to earn her degree after two years of intense reading and writing. Between short residencies on Bennington's campus, Brett read and wrote on her own, corresponding with instructors and fellow writers to receive her MFA.Although Brett did not eagerly anticipate the poetry portion of her creative writing class, she was pleased to discover in it a new appreciation for the craft."Dr. Del Doughty's creative writing course changed my life," Brett said. "I went into that class with a sincere loathing for poetry, but once I learned that it didn't have to be boring and angsty, I loved it, and I loved writing it."Shortly after, she took an independent study course in poetry with Dr. Doughty. "At the end of the semester, I had compiled two collections of poetry," Brett added. "The study in poetry was invaluable for me as both a student and a writer."Many of the poems she wrote for the course were published.Brett attributes her improved writing skills to her professors, saying, "Every single professor in the Department of English has forced me to become a better writer, both creatively and technically." She credits professors in other departments as well, saying that their personal interest "pushed me to become a better student and a more well-rounded individual." During her time at Huntington, Brett says she was introduced to a broad range of writers and genres, and that she was taught not just what to read, but how to read.Believing that Huntington University's small size contributed to her success as a student, Brett says, "Because my academic adviser had a limited number of students in his counsel, he was able to direct more attention to my academic career than would probably have been possible at a larger school." In four years, she had the opportunity to take two independent study courses, as well as upper-level courses with as few as six or seven students. This gave her the chance to be involved in both one-on-one interaction and small group discussions in class.HU has given Brett the chance to travel and pursue interests aside from English. She made her first visit to Washington, D.C., over a January Term during her junior year. She had recently read about several U.S. presidents, and on this trip, Brett says, "It was fascinating to see parts of history come alive in my imagination."Brett's extracurricular activities ranged from Huntington's Guerilla Theatre, to wind ensemble, to being a DJ for a special folk music hour on the campus radio station, The FUSE FM. "Because of my extracurricular activities in theater, radio and music, I made friends with people I probably never would have interacted with under other circumstances," Brett said. "Some of these friends have grown to be the people who inspire me most."Through Huntington University's English department, Brett was involved in other extracurricular activities. During her junior and senior years she presented poetry once at Taylor University's Undergraduate Literature Conference, twice at the Sigma Tau Delta National Convention, and won a poetry slam in Huntington, Ind., that was hosted by Huntington University's chapter of Sigma Tau Delta. She also traveled to see professional productions of plays. One of the most memorable was "Othello" in Chicago."'Othello' had never been my favorite Shakespeare play. In fact, it was probably my least favorite before I went to see it performed," she said. However, seeing "Othello" on stage gave Brett "a new appreciation for the play."In the Department of English, Brett had several leadership opportunities, such as being the vice president of the Huntington chapter of Sigma Tau Delta and editing Ictus, Huntington's official literary journal.To students considering majoring in English at HU, Brett gives this advice: "Read all you can; write all you can. Get to know interesting people."

Updated: March 14, 2013 7:53AM
Police on Wednesday issued a community alert warning people of an increase in violent robberies of iPhones, which have taken place in the early morning hours this month.
Two such incidents were spotlighted in the alert, both of which occurred on March 10. In the first incident, about 1 a.m. in the 400 block of North Dearborn Street, two men approached the victim on sidewalk, placed the victim in a headlock and forcibly removed an iPhone and wallet from the victim's pockets.
In the second incident, about 5 a.m. in the 600 block of North Dearborn, the two men approached the victim on the sidewalk, grabbed him by the arm and began walking with him. That man threatened the victim with violence and the victim gave him his iPhone 5.
Descriptions of the offenders vary, but they are generally described as black men both between 25 and 30 years old. One is 5-foot-10 and 180 pounds, with a dark complexion and braided or dreadlock hair. The other is about 5-foot-8, 170 pounds, with a medium complexion and short hair.
If anyone has any information on these robberies, they are asked to call Area Central detectives, at (312) 747-8384.

Slim and straight and easy to cook, asparagus has become one of those vegetables sold year-round in supermarkets. It always looks so pretty, so elegant and firm. And the taste is such an addictive combination of grass and mushroom, green things and meaty ones. But that's only if you get it when it's in season locally — not in the fall and winter, when it's shipped in from South and Central America.
As Deborah Madison has pointed out on these pages before, we may think of asparagus as an early-spring treat. But asparagus season varies: January in the hottest parts of California, May in Michigan, even July in Canada. So figure out when asparagus is local to you, and buy it then.
There's no taste difference between thin and thick asparagus; the thin stalks, obviously, cook faster, and some people prefer to peel the thick ones. White asparagus looks ghostly but is simply the result of mounding dirt over the stalks as they grow, preventing chlorophyll from doing its thing. Some folks prefer the milder flavor of white; others think it's a sort of cruel and unusual asparagus punishment.
All types, however, need nothing more than a rinse under water, a snap in the middle, and a trip to the steamer, grill, broiler, roasting pan, or skillet. (Don't bother with a fancy asparagus steamer; a stockpot with a pasta insert, or an ordinary steam-basket setup, will work fine.)
Breaking the stalks at their middles is optional; you'll know you're a stalk-breaker if you find yourself chewing the fibrous root ends with distaste. To snap asparagus, simply pick up a stalk and bend it gently; it'll snap naturally at the point where the stalk is turning fibrous. Compost the fibrous ends, or save them to make asparagus stock.
Jane Grigson likes her asparagus with potatoes and eggs. Deborah Madison tosses the tips into an Asian-style noodle salad or just roasts the stalks in olive oil. And Carrie Floyd, Culinate's food editor, prepares asparagus with a lemon vinaigrette.
At Loulies we love eating well, but we particularly relish indulging in foods seasonally. Please check out our e-bite on asparagus and pick up a new recipe for a easy weekday meal.
We just enjoyed our first taste of asparagus from our garden this year. Blanched and lighted salted...just amazing. Once we start harvesting 3-4 times a week, we eat the tips fresh and freeze the stalks for soups, quiche, and my favorite, twice-baked potatoes.

Life of Crime Can't Take Itself Seriously
By Alan Scherstuhl
By Amy Nicholson
In Cradle Will Rock, his third directorial outing, Tim Robbins takes on an almost insurmountably ambitious project: the re-creation of an era into which characters imaginary, obscure and famous are woven into a tapestry representing the texture of the time. It's a tall order. E. L. Doctorow was able to pull off a similar undertaking in his novel Ragtime, but even an estimable talent like Milos Forman couldn't fully bring that to life on the screen.
In fact, Robbins has set himself an even tougher task. The era he deals with, the '30s, is fresher in memory after sixty years than the pre-World War I period of Ragtime was when Doctorow's book came out after a similar time lapse. One can suggest a number of reasons: Thanks to sound movies, we have a much fuller, more accessible record of the '30s, and the political issues that drove the turmoil at that time are still active, with acrimonious debates between the left and right as to what really happened in that era. It goes without saying that the likes of Pat Buchanan and William F. Buckley will accuse Cradle Will Rock of being a left-wing whitewash, chanting their standard refrain that everyone who flirted with radicalism in America for five minutes was fully responsible for every horror of Stalinism.
But more than anything, the extent to which the first two decades of the twentieth century seem much more foreign to us than the '30s -- and seemed that way even forty years ago -- is a result of a slowing in the rate of change. That is, despite the notion of "future shock" -- the idea that change has been accelerating at a dizzying pace as we approach the millennium -- there are many realms in which nothing in the last seventy years has overturned our culture as totally as the Great War and the two decades that preceded it.
The central historical events on which Robbins has based his film are these: In 1937, 22-year-old wunderkind Orson Welles (played by Angus MacFadyen in the film) was staging the premiere of Marc Blitzstein's anti-capital musical The Cradle Will Rock under the auspices of the WPA's Federal Theater Project. A day before the show's scheduled June 16 opening, government guards locked the company out of the theater to enforce a temporary hiatus on new projects, necessitated by funding cuts. (The cuts were a first salvo in conservative attempts to undercut the WPA.) Welles and an associate, John Houseman (Cary Elwes), located another theater twenty blocks away and asked the audience to walk to the new location, where the show would be performed without sets or costumes (those were locked up at the first theater). After a frantic but successful attempt to find a piano, Blitzstein (Hank Azaria) began to perform the show himself to his own accompaniment; the cast members -- who had been forbidden by their union to appear on stage for the impromptu engagement -- began chiming in from the audience. (Robbins makes this look spontaneous, but it apparently was Welles's plan.) The night is reported to have been magical, and the show probably garnered greater publicity than it would have had the original production gone on unhindered.
The event has obvious dramatic potential. In fact, in the year before his death, the real Welles was planning on directing Rocking the Cradle, a film based on the events. Formerly blacklisted screenwriter Ring Lardner Jr. had come up with the script, which Welles had rewritten extensively. Sets were constructed and some actors were cast. (The relatively unknown Rupert Everett was set to play Welles.) But as so often occurred during Welles's career, funding fell through at the last minute. Welles's version of the script was published in an expensive, hard-to-find edition after his death; early announcements of Robbins's film listed the Lardner-Welles script as its basis.
Robbins, however, has strayed from the original concept -- enough, at least, for the Writers Guild to award him a solo screenwriting credit. In his hands, the story becomes a centerpiece for a broader look at issues such as freedom of speech; government funding of the arts; the traditionally uneasy alliance of artists, leftist intellectuals and labor unions; the links between big business and big government and big business and fascism; and a dozen other topics that continue to have relevance today.
While the staging of the musical is the focus, Robbins introduces several other plot threads, both real and invented. Nelson Rockefeller (John Cusack), fancying himself an art connoisseur, hires Diego Rivera (Ruben Blades) to paint a mural for the new Rockefeller Center. A WPA clerk (Joan Cusack), obsessed with Communists in her workplace, testifies before the prototype for the House Un-American Activities Committee. She is romanced by a ventriloquist (Bill Murray) who is embittered over the death of vaudeville. A charming emissary (Susan Sarandon) from Mussolini presents art treasures to American industrialists in return for material aid to the Fascist cause. One of her beneficiaries is a steel magnate (Philip Baker Hall) whose high-spirited wife (Vanessa Redgrave) is sympathetic to the theater company. Blitzstein wrestles with memories of his late wife and his attempts to introduce Brechtian concepts into American theater. A seemingly untalented singer-actress (Emily Watson) longs to break into show business; an Italian-American performer (John Turturro) struggles to stay on stage while supporting his wife and kids and dealing with his pro-Fascist extended family.

The old cliche "walk a mile in their shoes" – if the decision makers did that the NDIS would have been established years ago. Disability can happen to anyone please don"t subject more people to the terrible systems that we have now.
States line up for NDIS launch – now the time to Lock it In!
The Every Australian Counts campaign for the National Disability Insurance Scheme has welcomed strong expressions of interest for the launch of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) Campaign director John Della Bosca said today.
Mr Della Bosca's comments followed yesterday's meeting of the Commonwealth State and Territory Disability Ministers at COAG Select Council, the group charged with advancing the NDIS.
"The NDIS is at a critical juncture. We now have strong bids from most of the States and Territories – we now need to see action to lock in the NDIS. This must be the highest priority of COAG when they meet next week," Mr Della Bosca said.
"Any failure by our political leaders to strike a deal on the NDIS will not only be of grave concern to hundreds of thousands of Australians with a disability, their families and carers but will disappoint the whole nation," Mr Della Bosca said.
"We are urging our political leaders to work together and lock in the NDIS when COAG meets in Canberra next Wednesday."
Mr Della Bosca said most States and Territories have clearly indicated their desire to play a key role in the launch and design of the NDIS:
- New South Wales and Victoria have submitted their proposal for a joint NDIS launch site covering 10,000 people in the Hunter region and 5,000 in the Geelong region.
- South Australia wants a launch site and budgeted $20 million for this early stage
- Tasmania has lodged a bid to a launch site and has a NDIS working party
- The ACT has lodged a bid to be a launch site
- Western Australia wants to be a launch site and has established an NDIS reference group
- Queensland supports the NDIS but has indicated it won't be contributing any State funds to the scheme.
"The creation of the NDIS is a national reform, comparable to the creation of Medicare and it requires strong co-operation between the Commonwealth and the States," Campaign Director John Della Bosca said.
"Progress has been made, most notably the $1 billion from the Commonwealth for the first stage of the NDIS. This is a great down payment on the NDIS but much more needs to be done."
"The new funding required for the full implementation of the NDIS is approximately $7 billion by 2018, effectively doubling the current expenditure on disability services nationally."
Mr Della Bosca said the Every Australian Counts campaign has received more than 6000 messages from Australians telling you why they want the NDIS and calling on COAG to lock in the NDIS when they meet next week.
"These messages are a snapshot of a system in crisis. Stories of eternal waiting, the 'confusopoly' of red tape, our older carers anguished about what happens to their loved ones when they can no longer look after them, our children waiting years for basic equipment, young people with disabilities consigned to live in nursing homes and people with disabilities stripped of their basic human rights on a daily basis."
"Next week, the Prime Minister, the Premiers and Chief Ministers will meet at COAG to discuss the future of the NDIS. Hundreds of thousands of Australians with serious disabilities, their families and carers are counting on them to lock in the NDIS for the future."

COAG please stop the politics and make the NDIS real for all Australians with disabilities and their families asap.
The productivity commission hit the nail on the head when it reported that the current system is " inequitable, underfunded, fragmented and inefficient" and that people with a disability need a system "with much more and better-directed resources" which will give people a "more coherent and certain system."
Instead we have witnessed today politics getting in the way.
wiflul this constant reiadng of policy and politics as soap opera whilst occasionally true and sometimes entertaining misses the point that sometimes even often it is about real issues and find-out-able facts. Not all spin.Most (all?) of the media seem to have little stomach for facts, comparisons, research and some considered thought as to the difference between good policy and bad policy.Sheez this Health debate has only started and it goes to the heart of how Australia should be governed Federalism versus Nationalism.And yet what do we see in the media constant personalising the issues as if it was a dispute over the lengths of skirts or whether tie should match a pocket handkerchief.

The Matador
My daughter asks
if her hair looks better up or down,
if she should wear these pants
or the other ones, or maybe
this skirt?
However many times she twirls
the cloth, I foolishly believe
there's a safe direction,
a pivot or swerve that leads back
to the clover, to the peaceful
humming of bees.
The truth is,
she always looks beautiful.
But I am just her mother,
just a big clumsy animal,
and beautiful is code
for fat, or so she tells me
every morning when we dance
around the ring in this cruel sport,
this time-honored tradition.

In 1988, the Women's Studies Archivist position was created thanks to the generosity of author, playwright, teacher and feminist activist Sallie Bingham. In collaboration with pioneering historian Anne Firor Scott, Duke Women's Studies' Founding Director Jean Fox O'Barr and then head of Special Collections Robert Byrd, Sallie Bingham determined that Duke was the right place to create a new archive for women's history. The center was permanently endowed in 1993 and named the "Sallie Bingham Center for Women's History and Culture" in 1999 to honor Bingham's vision and legacy.
Sallie Bingham's remarks have been posted on her blog.
Freedom Means Everybody: A lecture by Mab Segrest
Thursday, April 17, 2014 at 6pm in the Richard White Auditorium, Duke University East Campus
Dr. Mab Segrest, Fuller-Maathai Professor of Gender & Women's Studies at Connecticut College, received her M.A. and Ph.D. from Duke University, and became active in lesbian-feminist political and cultural work in North Carolina and nationally during the late 1970s and early 1980s. She left the academy in the early 1980s to work full-time in social movements for the next decade. She is a co-founder of North Carolinians Against Racist and Religious Violence, an organization focused on targeting neo-Nazi and Ku Klux Klan activity. Segrest's 1995 book, Memoir of a Race Traitor, narrates this experience. Segrest's 2002 book, Born to Belonging: Writings on Spirit and Justice, uses travel memoirs in a search for alternatives to the apartheid of her southern childhood. She is currently working on a social history of Georgia's state mental hospital at Milledgeville that grows out of her continuing interest in the interface between the intimate and the historical, specifically what constitutes that redundancy of Southern insanity when viewed through archives of an iconic Southern state hospital. Segrest's personal papers are held by the Sallie Bingham Center. This program is the culminating event for the Women's Studies Senior Seminar, which combines feminist and queer theory with historical research on local activists. Co-sponsored by the Sallie Bingham Center, Durham County Library, and Duke Program in Women's Studies.

As more and more people get their news from the Internet, several long standing papers have closed up shop and gone online-only. We expect others to follow. However, a new study from the University of Southern California's Annenberg School for Communication suggests that, although most folks increasingly prefer to read their news online, they don't necessarily want to see newspapers go away.

London Bookstore Gives New Meaning to 'Book Burning'
Online shopping enables consumers to easily find and purchase desired goods, but it also forces actual store locations to adapt to technological advances and offer unique services in order to compete. Book stores have been seriously affected by the rise of Internet shopping, as multitudes of independent stores and huge chains have been forced to close, or to offer their goods solely online. On...
150-Year-Old Seattle P-I Newspaper Officially Going Online-Only
...And the flood gates have opened. Print publications are now in full-on death march mod,e and it's only a matter of time before newspapers become like vinyl records -- odd relics that hipsters cling to out of a false sense of nostalgia. Okay, so the chance that people will one day stack old, yellowing copies of the New York Times in milk crates around their studio apartment is pretty slim, but...
Bookstores, Publishers Suffer as Enthusiasts Exchange Online
Facing record lows in sales recently, bookstores and publishers cannot place blame squarely on the shoulders of the economic crisis, the New York Times reports. The real culprit? Web sites like ViaLibri.net, where readers the world over meet to buy and sell books, often for little more than shipping costs. In the wake of these Web sites' successes, publishers have been instituting hiring freez...
Google Book Search Updated With Magazines

Election Day Newspapers Going for $1,000 on eBay
As newspapers continue to struggle with the tough realities of the Internet age and the media economy, things aren't exactly looking good for the printed news industry.

Christian Science Monitor Cuts Print Edition, Fully Embraces Web
Over the past few years, online and traditional outlets have ran hyperbolic editorials heralding the death of print. And while we've seen newspaper circulation shrink and seemingly timeless magazines such as Rolling Stone take severe cost cutting measures, nothing has really signaled that the printed word was really on its last leg. That is until this morning, when the Christian Science Monitor ...
3-D Printers Come Home
Though it sounds like something straight out of 'The Jetsons,' this year the first consumer 3-D printers will begin making their way into homes.

Greed and Panic
Here we are near the end of the long, hot summer, and that odor wafting toward you isn't skunked beer or uncollected trash--it's desperation. You can tell when campaign ads talk about "celebrity" and feature Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, both of whom might be hard-pressed to answer how many years are in a U.S. senator's term (quick--somebody cue Jay Leno's "Jaywalking!").
It was around this time eight years ago when the traveling campaign press seized on the "Who would you rather have a beer with?" test for the presidency. And five years after that, we learned that the winner of the beer test appointed the commissioner of the International Arabian Horse Association as administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency before a hurricane wiped out an American city. We saw how that turned out.
Now we're back in the stink of it again. Barely a month left before the conventions, and the second sentence in a front-page Wall Street Journal article reads, "But in a nation in which 66 percent of the voting-age population is overweight and 32 percent is obese, could Sen. Obama's skinniness be a liability?"
As blogger Duncan Black, who writes under the name "Atrios," says, "The stupid, it burns me."
The appearance of Spears and Hilton in the presidential stakes makes it very apparent that despite $4 gas, a slow-motion mortgage industry collapse, rising unemployment, an accelerating hurricane season, and every month bringing a new contaminated food item, John McCain intends on running a campaign for Most Popular Kid in the Playground, and he seems petulant that he's not winning.
Despite appending "Straight Talk" to every vehicle that transports him, McCain is now pushing away national political reporters--once the people he called "his base"--and their substantive questions about actual issues of policy in order to field softball questions from local media. And there are reasons for that: The GOP has run out of intellectual steam.
Eight years of George W. Bush have shown conclusively that the entire raison d'être of the Republican governing machine was to steer federal money to private industry, enriching the few at the expense of the many. Six tax cuts in as many years left the nation's infrastructure crumbling while corporate profits soared. Two wars accompanied by hundreds of no-bid contracts siphoned billions of dollars out of the treasury and into politically connected companies like Blackwater and Halliburton before draining into the sands of the Middle East. Year in and year out, the Bush administration predicted that tax cuts would stimulate the economy, leading to the end of deficits--and yet the budget bled more and more red ink each year, culminating in a administration-projected deficit of $482 billion by the time the president leaves office.
Sen. Kent Conrad of North Dakota, the Democratic chairman of the Senate Budget Committee told the Los Angeles Times, "If we gave Olympic medals for fiscal irresponsibility, President Bush would take the gold, the silver, and the bronze, because he's got the three highest record deficits ever. . . . He sets records in every single category: 2009 would be the gold; 2004 the silver; 2008 the bronze."
The surpluses that Bush inherited (after the Clinton administration's 1993 deficit-reduction plan erased the deficits from the Reagan and Bush I years) might as well have been poured directly into the pockets of the top 1 percent, which is why, before and after the '04 elections, you saw the deification process (last used for Ronald Reagan) beginning, such as the our leader billboard put up by Clear Channel on Interstate 4 outside of Orlando. In 2006, that 1 percent took the highest share of the country's adjusted gross income since the Gilded Age of the 1920s, while its average tax rate fell to the lowest level since 1990.
Now, the same oligarchy that has been the beneficiary of the Bush largess is starting to see the writing on the wall: The good times may be coming to an end. Large Republican-leaning corporations like Wal-Mart are reportedly calling managers and supervisors into meetings featuring dire warnings ab0ut what might happen if a Democratic administration takes over. A Wall Street Journal article states, "The actions by Wal-Mart--the nation's largest private employer--reflect a growing concern among big business that a reinvigorated labor movement could reverse years of declining union membership."
Imagine an administration without a toothless Department of Labor corrupted by years of corporate complicity. Imagine an administration that believes government exists to do more than privatize federal assets for corporate gain.
The friends of Bush and McCain sitting in their executive suites aren't feeling comfortable about the way the winds are blowing. One percent of the country by itself can't outvote the other 99 percent that aren't sitting quite as pretty. Which is why this summer's media stories are stinking of Paris Hilton and Britney Spears.
They're hoping you'll be distracted by the smell.

Chesterton Tribune
DNR: Two offroad vehicle crashes in Jasper County
A 12-year-old Fort Wayne boy was one of two persons injured over the weekend
in separate off-road vehicle accidents in Jasper County, the Indiana
Department of Natural Resources said.
On Saturday, DNR said, the boy was operating an all-terrain vehicle in rural
Rensselaer when he struck a log and both the boy and his passenger were
thrown. The passenger was unharmed but the boy sustained lacerations to his
head and knee. He was treated at a local hospital and released, DNR said.
Then, at 2 a.m. Sunday, Jason Hunt, 33, of Wheatfield, was operating a dirt
bike on C.R. 400W when he struck a "modified medical scooter" being driven
by Peter Dean, 35, also of Wheatfield. "Hunt and Dean were operating both
vehicles on the roadway when Dean's medical scooter ran out of gas," DNR
said. "Hunt left to retrieve extra gas for the disabled vehicle. When he
returned to the scene he hit the stationary scooter that was still sitting
in the roadway."
Hunt sustained injuries to his head and face and was transported to a local
hospital for treatment.
DNR encourages operator always to wear a helmet and proper safety equipment
while operating off-road vehicles.
In addition, it is illegal to operate an off-road vehicle on a public
roadway and any off-road vehicle purchased after Dec. 31, 2003, must be
registered with DNR.

Hooray for Herbatint Herbal Haircolor!

Purchased at iHerb
The best natural alternative I have ever found. Other products like Henna do condition, but the color is unpredictable and permanent. Herbatint blends roots, covers gray and conditions. The color doesn't fade dull or brassy. There's only enough in the box though for one full application if you've got more hair than a pixie, but again, it's worth it.
good natural haircolor!

Amanda Holden leads the charge on opening day of Royal Ascot
The sun peeked out on day one of Royal Ascot, which this year marks its 301st anniversary. A bevy of British beauties frocked up to take their prime position at the Berkshire race course for a day of horse racing, fashion and fun. Leading the style stakes on opening day was Amanda Holden who looked lovely in a cream and floral print ensemble. Her ladylike outfit scores two thumbs up from me for being both appropriate for Ascot and just downright adorable. The Britain's Got Talent judge wore a cream-coloured Azagury dress with featured a giant bow at her hip, and a voluminous skirt in a delicate floral print. She teamed her dress with a chic cream DeDe Valentine hat, a pair of nude heels, and matching handbag.
Other famous faces to attend day one of Ascot included Danielle Lineker in a very chic black-and-white outfit. The wife of Gary Lineker chanelled a 1940s screen siren in her monochrome dress which hugged her figure and kicked out at the bottom. She teamed her look with a black veil fascinator, black Chanel clutch and a pair of towering black Christian Louboutin heels.
Of course there was the obligatory wacky creations and royal family appearance, only minus the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Instead it was the Queen, Duchess of Cornwall and Princess Eugenie who drew straws for opening day.
Meanwhile The Only Way is Essex starlet, Lydia Bright, also caught my attention in a red three-quarter sleeve dress by Hybrid. She matched her frock with a beautiful red headpiece by Beth Hirst which also included touches of blue and white. "It's my first time at Ascot so I'm very excited. We're in an amazing box. I'm going to be putting some money on but I've not got a clue about gambling - I'm going to tell my mum to stop me at £200," she told the Press Association.
I am happy to see Ascot's strict dress code of no strapless, off-the-shoulder, halter-neck or spaghetti-strap dresses, being adhered to. Yes I am looking at all you TOWIE ladies out there.

Beyoncé causes trouble at menswear Versace show
As the menswear shows continue to take place in Milan, Pagesix.com revealed some quite shocking gossip about the Versace show. The show, which took place yesterday in the Italian fashion capital, ran late due to the arrival of Beyoncé Knowles and her beau Sean "Jay-Z" Carter. An insider then reports that the standing-only event ran even later as they struggled to find a seat for Knowles' bodyguard.
Eventually the men's fashion director for the luxury fashion store Bergdorf Goodman, Tommy Fazio, was asked to give up his seat. Fazio, who was obviously not pleased simply said, "Fine — I don't stand at shows, so please escort me to the door."
Later Fazio is reported to have cancelled his post-show appointment with the leading Italian fashion house. Beyoncé and Jay-Z who were unaware of what had happened continued with their day attending the GQ party.
Versace commented, "Obviously there was some confusion with the show, but it had nothing to do with Beyoncé or her bodyguard. It happens occasionally at shows."

WASHINGTON (AP) - A federal appeals court on Tuesday upheld the first-ever regulations aimed at reducing the gases blamed for global warming.
The rules, which were challenged by industry groups and various states, will reduce emissions of six heat-trapping gases from large industrial facilities such as factories and power plants, as well as from automobile tailpipes.
A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington said that the Environmental Protection Agency was "unambiguously correct" in using existing federal law to address global warming.
The ruling is perhaps the most significant to come on the issue since 2007, when the Supreme Court found that greenhouse gases could be controlled as air pollutants under the Clean Air Act.
It also lands during a presidential election year where there are sharp differences between the two candidates when it comes to how best to deal with global warming.
President Barack Obama's administration has come under fierce criticism from Republicans, including Mitt Romney, for pushing ahead with regulations after Congress failed to pass climate legislation. In 2009, the EPA concluded that greenhouse gases endanger human health and welfare, triggering controls on automobiles and other large sources. But the administration has always said it preferred to address global warming through a new law.
The court on Tuesday denied two challenges to the administration's rules, including one arguing that the agency erred in concluding greenhouse gases endanger human health and welfare.
The court dismissed arguments against two other regulations dealing with pollution from new factories and other industrial facilities, saying that no one challenging the rules could show they had been harmed by them.
Industry groups vowed to fight on.
"Today's ruling is a setback for businesses facing damaging regulations from the EPA," said Jay Timmons, president and CEO of the National Association of Manufacturers. "We will be considering all of our legal options when it comes to halting these devastating regulations. The debate to address climate change should take place in the U.S. Congress and should foster economic growth and job creation, not impose additional burdens on businesses."
Environmentalists, meanwhile, called it a landmark decision for global warming policy, which has been repeatedly targeted by the Republican-controlled House.
"Today's ruling by the court confirms that EPA's common sense solutions to address climate pollution are firmly anchored in science and law," said Fred Krupp, president of the Environmental Defense Fund.

Graduate assistantships are available to qualified graduate students for up to four semesters. Recipients receive full tuition waivers. If interested, graduate students should contact the Office of Graduate Studies at 610-436-2943.
MM in Theory/Composition students are required to take courses in Composition, Computer Music, Form, Orchestration and Counterpoint in addition to electives in Music History and Music Theory/Composition. Depending on their area of concentration, MM students prepare either a masters thesis (advanced research paper) or a large-scale composition under the supervision of their advisor. Recent MM thesis papers have studied the works of Stravinsky and Bernstein. Recent MM thesis compositions have been written and given their world premieres at WCU, scored for large percussion ensemble, orchestra and concert band. Graduates from the MM in Theory/Composition program have gone on for more advanced study in composition and/or theory at the doctoral level. Most students from these programs aspire to become college-level instructors, while others have gone on to become freelance composers and arrangers.
The interview for the MM in Theory/Composition is based on two factors as well: 75% of the interview is a measure of the student's composition and/or analytic skills. Prospective Composers will be expected to show and discuss three of their original scores. If a recording is available of the score, students are encouraged to bring it to the interview. Prospective Theorists will be expected to take a written analysis test, providing harmonic and formal analysis of three short compositions from different musical eras. 25% of the audition is a measure of the student's skills in sight-singing, dictation and piano. Students will be expected to sing diatonic and chromatic melodies at sight, take dictation of diatonic and chromatic chord progressions, and aurally identify a variety of tertian and non-tertian sonorities. Students are expected to prepare a piano work of early-intermediate level difficulty.
The M.M. degree program in Music History at West Chester University has been designed to serve a diverse student population, from those with specific research interests to those simply seeking greater exposure to music history and literature for educational purposes. Music educators attempting to strengthen their own teaching curricula are especially encouraged to apply, as the program meets state requirements for an advanced degree for school teachers. Any undergraduate music degree (education, theory, history, performance) fulfills the prerequisite for the program.
The M.M. program is now more compact and easier to complete, as the previous 33 credit requirement has been reduced to 30. Degree requirements include 15 credits in music history, 6 elective credits, 3 credits in music theory, and 6 credits directed toward thesis-related research. Students may complete the 6 elective credits in subjects of their own choosing, drawn from the full spectrum of offerings across the School of Music and university, including music education, music theory, and performance, and other fields. Students may satisfy the language requirement by exam or by applying elective credits to language study.
A sampling of recent completed M.A. theses includes: "The Music of a New Nation: The Music Industry in Eighteenth-Century Philadelphia," "The Keyboard Sonatas of Frantisek Xaver Dusek (1731-99)," "Alfonso Ferrabosco the Younger (ca. 1575-1628) and His Unpublished Works for Lyra Viol," "Abramo ed Isacco by Josef Myslivecek (1737-81): An Italian Oratorio for the Electoral Court in Munich (1777)," "The Influence of the Dodworth Family and Dodworth's Brass Band School on Nineteenth-Century Brass Bands," and "Sporting Houses, Juke Joints, and Road Shows: Social Context in the early Development of a Vernacular Afro-American Piano Style."
Recently the department's core offerings were revised to direct students better toward thesis work. Traditional survey courses have been replaced with "topics" courses in which fewer works are examined in greater depth. The masterworks of the past are studied in their political and cultural contexts to demonstrate the manifold interconnections of music, the other arts, and society. Sample topics (drawn from different courses in the curriculum) include "The Palestrina Style and the Counter-Reformation," "Lully and Music for the Court of the 'Sun King,' " "Vivaldi's The Four Seasons and the Concerto," "Mozart's Le Nozze de Figaro and the Enlightenment," "Schubert's Songs and the Romantic Cult of Sensibility," "The Influence of Ragtime and Jazz on European Art Music in the 1920s and 1930s," and "Music and Minimalism: Riley, Reich, and Glass."
