Videoconferencing Software & Bridge
Middlebury has a number of licenses for Polycom RealPresence videoconferencing software. Compared to Skype, an advantage of the polycom software is that the people on the other end of the call can use their existing videoconferencing rooms/screens/cameras/mics, without having to setup a separate computer and peripherals on their end. Moreover, the call is prioritized across our firewalls, eliminating the chance of firewall issues. In addition, the software gives you free access to our videoconferencing bridge. See our Polycom Software page for more information on how to install and use the software. For information on the videoconferencing bridge, you can contact us here.
If you are interested in a comparison of the Polycom software with other videoconferencing tools in use at Middlebury, check the page Pros and Cons: Polycom, Adobe Connect, Skype.

November 23, 2014
ST. LOUIS (AP) - The founder of the online gambling site BetOnSports.com has been sentenced to more than four years in prison.
Gary Kaplan was sentenced Monday in federal court in St. Louis, ending a lengthy case involving the complex world of offshore sports gambling. He pleaded guilty in August to federal racketeering and other charges.
In a plea agreement, Kaplan must forfeit $43.6 million.
Kaplan founded the company in 1995, setting up entities in Aruba, Antigua and eventually Costa Rica. The firm solicited U.S. citizens to place sports wagers by phone and over the Internet. It became one of the world's largest online gambling firms.
Kaplan has already been jailed for 31 months. The Bureau of Prisons will determine if he is given credit for time served.

Brooke Mueller Back in Rehab as Precaution, Did Not Relapse OR Fail Drug Test, Lawyer Saysby Free Britney at . Comments
Brooke Mueller did not relapse, according to her lawyer, but merely checked into rehab because of a pre-scheduled "maintenance" program approved by a judge.
Yale Galanter says that when his client pleaded guilty to cocaine possession last month, she made arrangements to go back to rehab four times over the next year.
The reason is simple: Brooke was done well in rehab in the past, and then abruptly fallen back into the seedy world of hard ass drug use upon her return to L.A.
Galanter says Brooke decided to spend a couple of weeks in rehab every few months in order to help her stay on track and avoid any devastating temptations.
Moreover, Galanter insists Brooke Mueller is clean and takes several drug tests PER WEEK as part of her probation; she has tested negative every time, he says.
Arnie Mordkin, the Pitkin (Colo.) County D.A. who prosecuted her, seems to agree with Galanter, saying there's no evidence Brooke relapsed or violated probation.
As for reports that Brooke recently got wasted at Charlie Sheen's house, her attorney says that's just untrue, since she's drug tested often and has no failed.
So that's where we are. You don't hear about "preventative maintenance" trips to rehab very much, but it might not be the worst idea for her. You buying it?
[Photo: WENN.com]
No, I'm not buying it. She looks so spastic in this photo. Too much drug use.
Those poor Sheen kids...couldn't they have at least ONE adjusted parent?
so what who cares
Maybe medias should leave this family alone once and for all, all these 'sources' allegations, true or not who cares the processus is the real disgusting thing, leave them alone.

Ok so from the research I have done I need about 3500 calories a day to bulk up. My question is do I need to add calories for the exercise I do? I went to a web page that helps me track my calories and i logged in an exercise activity and it took away from the calories I have eaten already saying I needed to eat more now that I worked out. Is this correct? Or is the 3500 calorie marker already figuring in a typical weightlifters calories burned?

2010 US Open Men`s Final Nadal Vs Djokovic DVD
Our staff has not reviewed this product yet.
Rafael Nadal arrived at the 2010 US Open pursuing a place in history. Nadal had won one Australian Open, five French Open and two Wimbledon titles, but the US Open had consistently eluded him. His health breaking down on the unforgiving hard courts at Flushing Meadows, denying him the title he needed to become the seventh man in tennis history to own the career Grand Slam. When the dust settled one man stood between him and history, Novak Djokovic.
For Novak Djokovic, the US Open had become his best Grand Slam event. While his lone Slam title came at the 2008 Australian Open, his best record had been at the US Open and in 2010 he became just the fifth man in the Open Era to reach four consecutive US Open singles semifinals.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has agreed to set a hearing on the reasonableness of American Electric Power Co.'s (AEP) nonfirm, offpeak hourly rate for electric transmission...
MAPP, MISO & PJM: Three Regions Fight Over Wires, Prices and Profits
Dec. 16, in approving the transmission loading relief procedures proposed in June for the Eastern Interconnection by the North American Electric Reliability Council,/fn4/ the commission acknowledged that TLR rules tend to favor native load, since they impose curtailment to relieve congestion only in the case of interchange transactions between control areas. Such transfers don't generally involve native load network service.
To level the field, the FERC asked transmission-owning utilities to file interim TLR procedures by March 1 that would also apply to intraexchange native load transactions. In addition, TOUs not participating in a regional ISO with congestion management programs must file plans by the same date on how they might avoid having to curtail transmission, such as through redispatch procedures. In this way, the FERC's TLR ruling could end up favoring regional markets that follow the PJM design, which allows participants to "buy through" congestion using locational marginal pricing.
Certainly, the vote against the ISO left MAPP to lick its wounds. In December it announced it would ask Hagler Bailly Consulting Inc. to help survey the membership, with results due in early January, to weigh MAPP's next step.
Meanwhile, at the Midwest ISO, the next step appeared aimed simply at survival. Fearing a chilling effect (and defections) from a low profit level in the ISO transmission tariff, MISO participants on Nov. 19 took the unusual step of asking the commission for clues on how it (the FERC) planned to set return on equity.
That move came after a FERC staff witness testifying in November in the NEPOOL rate docket/fn5/ had recommended an ROE of only 8.6 percent - way below the 11.5 percent figure proposed by MISO participants to keep the group together.
Said John Catlin, power system operations manager for the Wabash Valley Power Association, "As a transmission customer of two transmission owners that are sitting on the sidelines - NIPSCO and AEP - I also want those two owners to have some incentive to join.
"If it means that they receive a higher return through the Midwest ISO than they would receive individually, I believe that that would be money well spent that would lower my overall transmission bill."
But will ISOs actually lower bills? That was the issue in PJM, where one energy and transmission customer, the Old Dominion Electric Cooperative, had complained to the FERC on Nov. 4 that prices were going up, not down, ostensibly because of some sort of unfair "gaming" behavior. ODEC insinuated that those owning generation resources within PJM had seized on a loophole in pool rules and were bootstrapping prices to circumvent a FERC-mandated price cap on energy bids by exporting cost-based power outside the pool and then re-importing it for sale within PJM at market prices.
ODEC said that PJM energy prices had increased by more than 23 percent from 1997 during the period from April 1998, right after it had adopted locational marginal pricing, through September, at the close of the summer peak season. ODEC's complaint spawned a raft of denials from PJM members, who submitted an affidavit from star witness

Toronto mayor launches appeal to keep his job
Published on Jan 8, 2013 5:55 AM
TORONTO (REUTERS) - Toronto's controversial mayor, Mr Rob Ford, on Monday launched an appeal against a ruling late last year that ordered him to leave office, a case that has cast a pall of uncertainty over who will run Canada's most populous city in the months ahead.
Mr Ford was evicted from his post by an Ontario Superior Court Judge two years into his term after being found guilty of conflict of interest charges. He later won the right to stay on the job until the appeal could be heard.
Speaking to a packed court room, Mr Ford's lawyer, Mr Alan Lenczner, told a three-judge Divisional Court panel that there were "substantial errors" in the original ruling.
In November, Ontario Superior Court Judge Charles Hackland ruled Mr Ford violated a conflict of interest law when he voted at city council to scrap a fine imposed on him by the city council for accepting donations to his football foundation from lobbyists.

Oh Mossy, you were a picture of sophistication you were last night. Scrap that, two pictures! It seems the betrothed birthday girl had a very quiet celebration for her 38th this year. After a quiet lunch in Mayfair with her husband Jamie Hince and her hairstylist friend James Brown, the couple went home for a quick outfit change, and then back out again for dinner with Stella McCartney, Fran Cutler and other suitably cool types.
For her lunch date earlier in the day, Kate nailed the smart-casual look like only she can. She paired a really cool pair of cropped grey flares with a furry cape and ladylike courts. We've said it before and we'll say it again. Flares are STILL having a moment! We haven't seen them dressed up like this before and think she's done stellar work. Nice one, Moss.
Later for the intimate dinner party at The Dorchester Hotel, Mrs Hince slipped into a shimmery LBD under a white fluffy coat with black Christian Louboutin heels, just like the sophisticated married woman she is now! It seems the crazy days of four-day fiestas when Lionel Richie serenaded her (yes, that actually happened, at her 35th birthday party, no less) are well and truly over. And her birthday style has certainly matured along the way. At previous shindigs, Mossy has really gone for it fashion-wise. A slinky white frock for her 33rd was a high point, as was that unforgettable Chanel jumpsuit covered in gold stars for her 34th, and let's not forget the glitzy blue gown she celebrated her 30th in.
Nonetheless, we highly approve of the evolution of Kate's birthday style, and hope her 39th year will see even more outfit changes and tricky-to-master trends. Bring it on!

'Microsoft Word is a tyrant of the imagination'
This was the week when Brit sci-fi author Charles Stross published an almighty rant about the omnipotence of Microsoft Word and how the program should just up and die. And being a writer, he's capable of a few good putdowns: Microsoft Word is a tyrant of the imagination, a petty, unimaginative, inconsistent dictator that is ill …
Steve Jobs was born in 1955 - WWII ended in 1945 - this account is obviously a complete fabrication.
Now, I don;'t believe in reincarnation but is it me or is this poster a)logically deficient or b) a massive 'tard? A WWII fighter pilot could have died at any time before 1946 and, according to the reincarnation crowd, reborn at at any time after that. So what's the problem? Exactly?
A tard...
A WWII fighter pilot could have died at any point after the start of the war. Presumably Jobsy thought he was one because of his urge to pull back on the wheel and fly his car, though how he arrived at this being from WWII I don't know. To my knowledge, no fighter planes of the second world war had a two-handed wheel or yoke. Most had a joystick and the spitfire had a round one-handed wheel (on the end of a joystick). Two hands on the wheel would be more akin to a bomber or transport, which is why Jobsy "sexed it up" to make it sound more exciting...
Re: A tard...
Perhaps he was channeling Troy Tempest?
Re: A tard...
> Two hands on the wheel would be more akin to a bomber or transport.
British fighter planes of the time had the ring welded to a stick type yoke which was meant to be held in both hands and a lot of heavy fighters like the beaufighter, the mosquito and the P-38 had legit wheels.
However I think the ME109 was probably more his style and that had a stick.
I agree here, this pilot may have died of cancer or was hit by a car in '55? Fun Fact - Some of the Air force(British/American/Japanese/German etc.) actually made it out of WW2 alive!
And who's to say that reincarnation means you move straight into your next body/form anyway? If you believe in reincarnation surely you can beleive in going into a state of purgatory/heaven aswell? We don't know what Jobs beliefs were, even if he followed a religion, everyone has their own version of their religion.
Re: A tard...
> However I think the ME109 was probably more his style and that had a stick
I see what you did there.
"Fun Fact - Some of the Air force(British/American/Japanese/German etc.) actually made it out of WW2 alive!"
Otherwise you wouldn't be reading my comment.
Although to be picky it was, at the time, the Army Air Corps my dad was in.
"And who's to say that reincarnation means you move straight into your next body/form anyway? If you believe in reincarnation surely you can beleive in going into a state of purgatory/heaven aswell?"
Not to mention the possibility that his "soul" stopped off in some kid who was born as a fighter pilot was dying and died as Jobs was being born, and didn't have a life glamorous enough (fighter pilot being a tough act to follow) to have made much of an impression on ol' Steve.
and all this assumes that time is linear for the dead....
Mircosoft makes 'Productivity Software' sound like an xymoron
And Charles Stross is not alone or the first, here's an 'oldie but goldie' from Edward Tufte on PowerPoint:
Re: Mircosoft makes 'Productivity Software' sound like an xymoron
an xymoron - an idiot with a graph.
Re: Mircosoft makes 'Productivity Software' sound like an xymoron
Or a very confused male.
Re: Mircosoft makes 'Productivity Software' sound like an xymoron
Not to mention the twin evils of Excel and Project:
Excel - forces you to think inside a 2-D grid of boxes.
Project - forces managers to use an outdated and inflexible model of project management.
I used to wonder if MSofties used their own tools but increasingly I think they have been. I speak from experience as I have worked for a number of failing engineering companies throughout my career and they all used these software packages extensively!
Re: Mircosoft makes 'Productivity Software' sound like an xymoron
"Excel - forces you to think inside a 2-D grid of boxes."
Oh really so the computer grabs you by the throats and pulls you into the screen and forces you to work inside a 2D box does it? I doubt it.
@The last doughnut
"Excel - forces you to think inside a 2-D grid of boxes."
Weren't spreadsheets supposed to emulate - well, paper (as in 2-D) spreadsheets? (As I first heard them called, though Wikipedia says they're worksheets, apparently.) MS isn't the only one guilty in that case.
"I speak from experience as I have worked for a number of failing engineering companies throughout my career and they all used these software packages extensively!"
You've mentioned two things those companies have in common.
Re: Mircosoft makes 'Productivity Software' sound like an xymoron
"Excel - forces you to think inside a 2-D grid of boxes.
Project - forces managers to use an outdated and inflexible model of project management.
Neither do what you say - if that's how you work, it's your own inadequacy and the desire to rely on incorrect tools to do the job
Project management - which is what I get paid for - is about human interaction and judgment, balancing hopes and expectations against complexities of which the project members usually have no idea exist and mostly would be beyond their ken even if exposed to them
MS Project just gives you a planning tool to look at who should be doing what and where - so if you consider its for project management you are a twat.
As for engineering co.s failing - correlation does not signify causation - if you are talking about Brit ones - most fail because of two things - lack of market understanding and awful financial management. For the latter maybe if they had used Excel they might have delayed their demise
Re: @The last doughnut
"Weren't spreadsheets supposed to emulate - well, paper (as in 2-D) spreadsheets? (As I first heard them called, though Wikipedia says they're worksheets, apparently.) MS isn't the only one guilty in that case"
Yes. I am old enough to remember a time before Visicalc, and so whole walls of a financial or engineering departments in big companies would be coated with paper into which people wrote numbers and then did calcs and carried results.
The growth of Apple 2e was based on Visicalc replacing this method, and then Lotus 123 on IBM (bigger spreadsheet and a few snazzy clacs) swept it away - and the rest follows.
Re: Mircosoft makes 'Productivity Software' sound like an xymoron
Nice. I was making a Friday beer joke. And I almost exclusively use xemacs.

Always hard to tell when people are making jokes around here. Apart from the easy, trite ones. Though I thoughy hplasm's xymoron graph thing was good.
Re: Mircosoft makes 'Productivity Software' sound like an xymoron
Don't most Excel users work in cubicles?
Bad workmen.
Nuff said.
Re: Bad workmen.
Stross has had well over a dozen novels published commercially - recent works making #1 in the US and UK Amazon sales rankings in their category - and won several Locus and Hugo awards.
Wish I was as bad a workman as that.
Re: Bad workmen.
"A bad workman always blames his tools"
Don't fall into the trap of assuming that anyone who complains about the quality of tools must be a bad workman. That's not what the old proverb tells us.
A good workman knows bad tools from good and won't use them. That's part of what it is to be a good workman. Anyone choosing bad tools will, of course, turn out not to be a good workman, and some of the blame for that will be down to the tools he uses.
Charles Stross is a successful author. Not a bad workman at all (you may not like his books, but they do sell so he's doing something right). He does not use the tools (MS Word) that he's complaining about (read the blog, he uses something called 'Scrivener'). He is a good workman criticizing the tools that others use -- and complaining that some of those others (his publishers) can't see how bad they are.
Beer for Charlie, because he's right!
Re: Bad workmen. @dajames
"(you may not like his books, but they do sell so he's doing something right)."
To play Devil's Advocate, that could be said about Word and other MS stuff too. In all honesty I don't feel sales of books are an indication of quality - there's no quality in fiction - just whether someone likes it or not. Entirely subjective. Just my two pence worth about that bit - I realise software quality is another matter, but to be honest I don't mind Word. But as others have said, for my needs I could just as easily use something like Wordpad.
novels and editing
What Charlie Stross is actually complaining about is the fact the publishing industry has been making increasing use of Microsoft Word formats in document production systems "And they expect me to integrate myself into a Word-centric workflow". Word processing is an open market, there are many alternatives for writers - he mentions Scrivener (recommended).
Most novels I read make precious little use of typography so I'm rather curious what onerous load is placed on Mr Stross by his publishers. A topic he largely ignores in that piece in favour of sharing his personal take on the history of word processors. After all its ever so fashionable to rant against Microsoft and its products.
My own view on word processing is not a million miles from his. Disappointing that alternatives to the Microsoft Word philosophy of word processing (imitated by Libre/OpenOffice) remain in the margins. However "Microsoft Word has to die before we can move on" is pure polemic. More useful if commentators would focus on what can be done to open up the world beyond Microsoft Office and what if any obstacles lie in that road.
Re: novels and editing
My wife was looking at self-publishing on Kindle, and all of the tutorials assume that you use Microsoft Word as one of the last-steps in the formatting process (just prior to submitting the resultant file for final conversion by Amazon).
When I pointed out that Libre Office could write .doc and .docx files, she showed me various reports that somehow the resultant files would be unreadable on a Kindle, all written by people who appeared to know very little about font, typeface and styles from what I read, so I don't totally believe that you can't use other tools. Seems like there is either some (unspecified) fundamental lock-in, or a lot of misinformation washing around, which creates a feeling of FUD amongst writers.
Eventually I ended up putting one of our limited number of Home and Student 2007 licenses we have onto her machine (licence obtained to satisfy our local secondary school for whom using Impress to create assessed presentations would result in the work not being marked!) just to stop her complaining.
Maybe I ought to write something myself and see what the process really is. If I can get it working and document it, it may enable self-published ebook writers to escape from the Microsoft hegemony.
@eter Gathercole (Re: novels and editing)
Yes. Good idea. You could even use Amazon to self-publish a book about your experiences in self-publishing on Amazon.
Re: @eter Gathercole (novels and editing)
It's been done, but not using Open Source software!
Re: novels and editing
I wrote a novel using Emacs and some simple mark-up that I found convenient. The publisher asked for Word, so I converted my text to HTML with a tiny Perl script, converted the HTML into RTF using OpenOffice.org, and sent in the RTF. The publisher seemed happy enough with that.
Novels are one of the easiest cases: there's not much mark-up and they take long enough to write that ten minutes spent converting them is not a significant burden.
Re: novels and editing
> Maybe I ought to write something myself and see what the process really is.
I did - and I wrote it in LibreOffice, no less! I had zero problems with formatting issues. I simply laid out the manuscript exactly as I liked, artwork and all, and produced a PDF for CreateSpace to drop print. Publishing was the easy part, actually, it's writing a manuscript that takes the time.
You can see the results at http://www.amazon.com/Elven-Fire-Living-Vida-Medieval/dp/146620074X/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1382351938&sr=8-10&keywords=elven+fire (NOT advertising, it's a manual for a role-playing game we developed with and for our children and grandchildren, sort of a Lawful Good-only variant that you would expect from a grandpa ;-).
My prediction is that the iWatch will be the beginning of the end of iFashion
right on
Word is a "pita"
fortunately msft strong-armed the ISO into adopting their ooxml standards for the new iso open document standards.
i note that LibreOffice v.4 is now better at compatibility with the hated ms/word . hopefully others e.g. Google Docs will join in breaking this nasty ms/word monopoly like a punkin after Halloween
Re: right on @mike acker
You know, if you'd run that through Word first it would've picked up your failure to capitalise your sentences (a pet peeve of mine,) and your mis-spelling of pumpkin :)
Re: right on
Maybe LibreOffice is getting better at playing catch up, but it's still playing catch up. It's targeting the same market as Word, so develops the same features. For Mr Stross (who I'm sure it's been mentioned is a *nix user anyway), I can't imagine LibreOffice is any better than Word. And for the people who want to do what Word is meant to do, Word is still the best in the market.
There's really not any point expecting a serious competitor for the mass-market word processor, because it's just not feasible for a small company to compete with MS -- and if they did any good at it they'd be bought up by Google or Sun or MS themselves to improve their products.
Re: right on @mike acker
Unless he turned off the auto-capitalization feature, given it often can't tell the difference between a sentence and other character strings containing periods/full stops.
Or had turned off auto-correct entirely, being tired of, say, trying to type an abbreviation such as "BMW" only to find MS Word has helpfully "corrected" it to "Bmw".
Or unless he turned off the "Check spelling..." option, being tired of distracting red underlines in documents containing perfectly good words the built-in dictionary doesn't happen to know (you don't work in biological research or advanced science, do you?)
I don't care for misspellings either, believe in rules of grammar, do my best to write well. However, this is an informal online forum, and contributors are often in a hurry.
Sure, I'll be one of the first to point and jeer at a mistake in an edited, proofread, professional publication.
But suggesting someone run their comment through a word processor before posting seems a bit cruel. If there is anywhere we should be allowed freedom from the tyranny and repression of exposure to buggy, crashing applications, it is here. A time and place to rest and recover from the software beating we take elsewhere.
Also: Vive l'orthographe créative!
.doc format retired 6+ years ago
Microsoft changed their default formats to a much more readable, XML-based "Office Open XML" format with their 2007 releases. Since he complains about the ribbon, Mr Stross is surely aware of it, yet still complains about the old file format. Does he complain about the data transfer rate of using 90min cassette tapes as well?
Word is not without its problems, but it's not intended to be something to fuel your imagination. It's meant to let you type stuff and format it with the minimum of fuss -- which in fairness, it does. For a generic word processor, it is by far the best-in-class -- as are Excel and PowerPoint.
Re: .doc format retired 6+ years ago
Indeed, why is he surprised that a productivity tool originally written by enterprise FOR enterprise documents isn't compatible with the publishing industry?
Not really a case of worker blaming his tools, more like his industry adopting the wrong tool for the job.
More dour proficies
iWatch won't just be a totally unnecessary bit of kit that links up to your other iStuff, but will instead be a fruity overlord over the entire home.
So will it let you choose ring tones?
Or will it just have one ring to rule them all?
wheels and Word
Back in the 1960s there were stories of pilots who had to fight the impulse to pull the wheel back to pass on the highway. I'm guessing they weren't new then, and that Steve Jobs had heard them in childhood. Will the next Steve Jobs think that he was reincarnated from a helicopter pilot and be tempted to use clutch and accelerator as rudder pedals?
As for Word, Stross uses it to write documents far longer than most of us do. I don't object to it, particularly, but it unusual for me to write even a 10-page document with it.
Most writers I know use Scrivener these days (including me). It's a tool very much designed around how writers work. Word clearly tries to please everyone - most people getting an compromised experience and a horrific mess of bloated functionality - much of which I suspect the majority of users will never touch. I couldn't imagine having to use Word for creative writing, but similarly, Word *is* pretty useful in the context of my day-job.
Word is appalling, complicated bloatware. By trying to give you the options to 'create' a document, it just ends up overwhelming everybody.
So called professional programs such as InDesign and Quark are actually a hell of a lot easier to use and much more user friendly.
"deliberately or intentionally"
Redundancy. Tsk!

Lindsay Lohan Playing Herself in Court and Now on 'Anger Management' With Charlie Sheen
Lindsay Lohan may finally have some work coming her way, but she's got a lot of work ahead of her in terms of staying out of the slammer.
Lindsay Lohan may finally have some work coming her way, but she's got a lot of work ahead of her in terms of staying out of the slammer.
Charlie Sheen continues to use his money for the powers of good, racking up karmic bonus points and making it that much harder to judge him when he's an asshat.
In addition to helping clothe Lindsay Lohan, paying for funerals and assisting young cancer patients, Sheen has now donated $10,000 to get a formerly paralyzed teenager a therapy dog.
Charlie Sheen appeared on the 'The Tonight Show with Jay Leno' Wednesday night (Jan. 30) to promote his show 'Anger Management' -- and to rant about the one time he met performance enhancing drug-using cyclist Lance Armstrong.
Charlie Sheen is apparently the King of Hollywood, so much so that he gives Lindsay Lohan much-needed cash, is offered lap dances from Lady Gaga, and knows from first-hand experience which celebrities can really get their party on.
If you thought the Kimye Babye was going to cause some waves in the gene pool, just wait until you hear the news Denise Richards - friend and former wife of Charlie Sheen's - tweeted to the world.
Charlie Sheen did as the celebrities do and spent his holiday time in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico with his new porn star girlfriend Georgia Jones (that's her above in a rare clothed shot), and they made sure everyone knew they were an item. Or at least that they swap spit on a regular basis.
Despite clearly being unfit to raise kids, Brooke Mueller has really strong opinions on how others should raise her kids. Specifically, fellow Charlie Sheen ex Denise Richards.
Richards is taking care of Mueller and Sheen's twins, Bob and Max. When Richards asked Mueller if she could bring the kids to their dad's Christmas party, Mueller -- and her lawyers -- read her the riot act.

Mitt Romney Leads Other Candidates by More Than 3 to 1 in New Hampshire Poll
It's still much much too early to take these polls with anything less than a medium-sized pile of salt, but, these results are somewhat startling…
Thirty-two percent of New Hampshire's Republican voters said they would support Romney in next year's first-in-the-nation primary, according to a CNN/WMUR poll conducted through last weekend.
That puts Romney well ahead of the poll's second place finisher, Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas), whom 9 percent of New Hampshire Republicans said they would support in the primary.
Six percent each said they would support former Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R). Five percent said they would support former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R).
What that means is that Mitt Romney has more support at this point in New Hampshire than his next four competitors combined.
Like, if you were to genetically create a four-headed Paul-Gingrich-Giuliani-Palin hydra in your dark arts laboratory and teach it to say that Medicare is evil and set it loose on the Granite State, it would still be less popular than the one-headed Romney.
Though, it would probably get a really sweet time slot on Fox News. Maybe the one Glenn Beck in vacating. (Which would be ironic, because I think it would fulfill one of his prophesies.)

Theory on avian deaths is for the birds
A dead Starling lies on the highway in Pointe Coupee Parish, La., about 300 miles from Beebe, Ark.,
Liz Condo/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Visit the Photo Place
I'VE HEARD some dumb
They got all excited because of the booms from fireworks, flew into each other in the dark and dropped to the ground stone dead.
Anyone who believes that probably still believes that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
Now I don't know what the real explanation is, but red-winged blackbirds and starlings--yes, I saw at least one starling in the video footage--just don't run into each other at high speed.
Ever watch a flock of birds in the winter? They fly practically in unison, like a school of fish. One turns and they all turn--in a split second.
They heard a boom and just ran into each other? I've seen landowners fire shotguns to scatter roosting blackbirds in the final moments before dark, and there were no feathered fliers crashing into one another. They just take off as one and move somewhere else.
But let's assume that fireworks did cause stress that led to the Arkansas birds' demise. Similar bird deaths have been reported in Kentucky and Louisiana in the past several days. Were the Arkansas fireworks responsible for those deaths, too?
Man! That had to be one loud fireworks display!
What about the fish kill in the Arkansas River during the same period? Are fireworks responsible for 100,000 fish suddenly perishing?
And then there was the fish kill in the Chesapeake Bay that was reported Wednesday. Did the boom from those fireworks reach all the way from Arkansas
There's something really weird going on here, folks! Maybe the end of the world really is at hand!
Could it be that the Chicken Little prophesy
Did big chunks of sky land in the Arkansas River and the Chesapeake Bay and kill all those fish?
Is that wormhole I talked about several weeks ago beginning to shift into place and sending space debris into our atmosphere?
Did these birds bang into some spacecraft from another galaxy that was on
Did strange exhaust fumes from that ship poison fish in the Arkansas River and the Chesapeake Bay?
No, those fish died from a cold winter, experts say. Yeah, right! Like we haven't had cold winters before.
Besides, we are in the throes of global warming, remember? Cold-weather fish kills are impossible. Ask Al Gore.
I still lean to the sky-is-falling theory. I was worried that something like this would happen when the Republicans regained
Whatever happened, 2011 has gotten off to an eerie start. Dead birds falling from the sky! Dead fish washing up on the shore! Tea party members in Congress!
I gotta tell you, this is scary stuff!
