Boeing Machinists overwhelmingly reject 777X contract proposalon November 13, 2013 @ 4:24 pm (Updated: 8:10 am - 11/14/13 )

Sixty-seven percent of the approximately 20,000 members of the International Association of Machinists District 751 voted no, protesting Boeing Co.'s push to end a traditional pension plan and increase their health care costs. Workers would have received a $10,000 signing bonus if they approved the deal.
District 751 President Tom Wroblewski called it an emotional decision prior to the vote but said union members should consider what's best for their families.
Wroblewski refused to speak with media members following the announcement of the vote results.
Boeing Commercial Airplanes issued a statement from President and CEO Ray Conner:
"We are very disappointed in the outcome of the union vote. Our goal was two-fold: to enable the 777X and its new composite wing to be produced in Puget Sound and to create a competitive structure to ensure that we continue market-leading pay, health care and retirement benefits while preserving jobs and our industrial base here in the region. But without the terms of this contract extension, we're left with no choice but to open the process competitively and pursue all options for the 777X.
I'd like to thank Governor Jay Inslee and the Washington state legislature for all their efforts in this process. We had hoped for a different outcome."
Boeing proposed the eight-year contract extension, saying it needs the deal to assemble the new 777X in Washington state. With the threat of those jobs going to another state, lawmakers rushed to approve $8.7 billion in tax breaks last week.
Along with extending tax breaks to 2040, lawmakers this past weekend also approved millions of dollars for training programs for aerospace workers. Lawmakers have also said that Boeing supports the development of a large transportation package, and the Legislature is still exploring a plan valued at about $10 billion.
"This is a tough night for the state of Washington," Governor Inslee said in a news conference following the vote. "We could have had a big win tonight. We could have grabbed the brass ring for this airplane. But I want to say this, what we were unable to finish tonight, means that we are starting a new chapter of competition for this airplane."
Inslee said he'll hold another meeting with legislators Friday to talk about a statewide transportation package requested by Boeing.
The actions in Olympia were meant to let machinists know that Washington would be there as a partner for them, Inslee said.
Snohomish County Executive John Lovick, who had urged a yes vote Tuesday, issued a brief statement late Wednesday: "I know the Machinists had a difficult choice to make. I respect that, but I can't hide my disappointment in the outcome," he said.
Dian Lord, a toolmaker at Boeing's facility in Renton who is nearing retirement, said Wednesday morning she believes the company is extorting its workers by pushing a swift contract vote while threatening to place 777X operations elsewhere if machinists don't oblige. Still, Lord said she feels intense pressure to vote for the contract, especially considering that it could impact a variety of other Boeing workers and vendors should the company move elsewhere.
"I'm very conflicted," Lord said.
Political leaders, including many Democrats who are closely aligned with unionized workers, declined in recent days to encourage machinists how to vote but asked them to consider the broader impact on jobs and future generations. IAM leaders issued a similar message, with Wroblewski saying the vote is about 30 years of jobs for the region.
"This is an opportunity we will never see again to secure thousands of good-paying jobs in the State of Washington," Wroblewski wrote in a message to members before the vote.
Conner said earlier this week that the company was not bluffing in its message that the 777X line could be placed elsewhere. He said the company prefers to stay in the Puget Sound and that a positive vote by the union makes that decision easy.

The flu is no longer widespread in Rhode Island, Director of Health Michael Fine, M.D. announced today, while also reminding everyone who has not yet been vaccinated that it is not too late to get a flu shot.
Healthcare workers who had not been vaccinated against the flu had been required to wear surgical masks when engaged in direct patient contact since January 8, 2014, when the Rhode Island Department of Health (HEALTH) declared the flu to be widespread. This requirement is no longer in place. However, if the level of flu in Rhode Island rises again to widespread, HEALTH will put the masking requirement back into effect.
"Although the level of flu in Rhode Island has dropped, unvaccinated Rhode Islanders remain at risk for getting the flu," said Dr. Fine. "The flu is a serious illness and it typically remains in Rhode Island until April. For anyone who has not yet been vaccinated, it's not too late to protect yourself and the people around you."
There have been 2 flu-related deaths and 239 flu-related hospitalizations in Rhode Island during the 2013-2014 flu season. During the 2012-2013 flu season, there were 961 hospitalizations and no flu-related pediatric deaths. (HEALTH did not collect information on flu-related deaths for adults last year. This is the first year that this information is being collected for both adults and children.)
During this year's flu season, 491,264 Rhode Islanders have been vaccinated, a 1% increase over last year. During the 2012-2013 flu season, 485,303 people were vaccinated (up to this date). This year's figure is a 14% increase over the 2011-2012 flu season, when 431,032 people were vaccinated.
Everyone older than six months of age should be vaccinated against the flu every year. It is especially important for children younger than five years of age (children younger than 2 years of age in particular), healthcare workers, pregnant women, senior citizens, and people with chronic conditions to be vaccinated. Common chronic medical conditions include diabetes, asthma, and heart disease.
Adults can be vaccinated at doctors' offices or at pharmacies. Children can be vaccinated at doctors' offices.
For more information, contact the Health Information Line at 401-222-5960 / RI Relay.

A Smyrna man has been arrested in the rape of a 16-year-old girl.
State police began a rape investigation after the girl told a family member that she had been sexually assaulted by 21-year-old George Curtis.
Police say Curtis was at the girl's home January 1 and drove her to a liquor store, where he bought alcohol. Police say he took the girl to his home in Smyrna, where he forced her to drink liquor and take an Oxycodone pill before he sexually assaulted her. He then took her home.
Police say he continued to harass and have sex with the girl until she and her mother reported it.
Curtis was arrested Wednesday and charged with rape, sex with a minor, and providing alcohol to a minor.
He's in Vaughn Correctional Center on $45,000 secured bond.

By ERIC RUEB
KINGSTON – There wasn't much to say after the University of Rhode Island's 72-45 loss to Xavier Sunday night.
In any game, coaches and players go out of their way to find a silver lining, something to grasp on to, something to make it easier to forget an otherwise sour day. Last Monday, the Rams' left knowing they were blown out on the road by a Florida team that should find its way to the NCAA Tournament, a game that looked like an aberration from how the Rams have played this season.
But Sunday there was no silver lining. The shooting woes that plagued them in against the Gators – where URI shot 40.6 percent from the floor, including a woeful 4-for-23 from the 3-point line – only got worse Sunday. URI hit only 14 of 57 shots and made only 3 of 27 3-pointers, which included 16 missed 3-point attempts in a row in a 24 minute, 54 second span starting from Nikola Malesevic's three with 12:26 left in the first half.
"For me, right now I'm devastated," URI's Delroy James said. "After games you always find a positive, but I'm hurt. Right now, myself and in my teammates, I'm hurt. I feel as a team we laid an egg, a big one."
"Sometimes we get good looks, sometimes we take bad shots," said Malesevic, who scored 12 points Sunday. "We're getting good looks. We just don't convert those looks."

ONGC to pay USD 5 billion for ConocoPhillips Kazakh oilfield stakeConocoPhillips said it plans to sell its 8.4% stake in Kazakhstan's giant Kashagan oil field to Oil and Natural Gas Corp for about USD 5 billion as the Indian company looks to make up for flagging production. Kashagan, the world's biggest oilfield discovery since 1968, holds an estimated 30 billion barrels of oil-in-place, of which 8-12 billion are potentially recoverable. First production from the field is expected in 2013.

The deal is expected to close during the first half of next calendar year. The company had acquired Imperial Energy for USD 2.1 billion in 2009, its biggest buy so far. The latest acquisition will help it offset the drop in production from Sudan and Syria, which pulled its output down by more than 7% in FY12.

During the past few years, the aquatics industry has promoted professionalism and attention to detail in a number of areas, including lifesaving.
When I was a young boy I repeatedly heard warnings from my mother, such as "Look both ways before crossing the street" and "Don't get in a car with a stranger.
In the past few years the aquatics industry has experienced an aggressive use of mandates (Virginia Graeme Baker Act, ADA compliance, APSP codes).
The American Red Cross is making a number of changes to update its health and safety offerings, and to transform its aquatics and other life-saving programs to deliver stronger courses more consistently across the country.
The goal of the Model Aquatic Health Code is to codify scientifically proven data in the aquatics industry.
As a physician and aquatic researcher, I have seen firsthand the absolutely amazing effects that water can have in recovering and promoting health across the age span and across many, many clinical situations.

GRP Rowing: Year-round Elite Training Opportunities
Last Updated: 20.Jul.2012
The Craftsbury Outdoor Center is excited to announce the launch of a new program for post-collegiate rowers focused on pursuing their full athletic potential and competing at the highest level of the sport. The Green Racing Project is designed primarily to fill the gap that exists after collegiate rowing, and serve as a bridge from collegiate racing to national and international level competition. Most rowers won't reach their peak performance levels until after their collegiate careers, yet it is difficult to afford basic living expenses while focusing one's efforts to training as a full time athlete. This program hopes to provide a long-term training situation that also allows an athlete to develop and use other skills, specifically those related to the mission of the Craftsbury Outdoor Center, on a part-time basis.

Shoreditch Grind has acquired a good reputation since its founding in 2011, and there's much to admire. The high-ceilinged space has a striking view of Silicon Roundabout. And food and drink are mostly up to scratch.
Cappuccino and a piccolo (espresso and foamed milk in roughly equal proportions) were both competently made and served hot. Espresso was below that standard, with a weak crema and a little too highly roasted for our taste, but baked goods (apricot tart and raspberry crumble muffin) were distinguished even compared to the generally high baking standards of London coffee bars.
However, the Grind was let down by a certain lack of TLC in service. We were offered paper cups on one visit, even for coffee to be drunk on the premises. The barista looked a little hang-doggish; there was some sloppy wiping of the steam wand on the La Marzocco machine. Used coffee cups and other detritus sat on tables too long, even with staff passing by. Polish up the service and this turns into a place that does full justice to the location.

This place rocks! Properly amazing coffee, ultra cool vibe to an awesome soundtrack! Shoreditch Grind is an instant icon! Sure, its busy, and it can sometimes take a while to get a coffee, but i'd rather wait a few minutes for something amazing than drink that rubbish from the chains! Also the food menu is also getting bigger and better all the time! A++++ !
TOTALLY APPALLING! If you go into any café, bar or restaurant, as a customer you expect to be treated with at least a measure of respect, however upon entering Shoreditch Grind, I was made to feel inferior and spoken to as if I was a second class citizen by the staff. In no uncertain terms I was told I was not welcome, "If you're only having a cup of tea, you're not sitting here for 20 minutes taking up space. You'll have to take it outside!" I was a paying customer and to have been spoken to so rudely by the staff -never in my life have I felt as mortified and degraded as I did then. THE BEHAVIOR OF THE STAFF WAS UNEXCEPTABLE; I WILL NEVER GO THERE AGAIN.
Easily the best coffee i've had in London, and an amazing vibe! The food is also pretty great. I'm a regular and the service is great and super friendly, contrary to some of the other reviews. My only complaint would be that there is often a long queue, particularly in the mornings! Overall a great transformation of what used to be a really bad corner of the roundabout.
By far the best coffee I've had in London - Thumbs up to the great staff, specifically the Australian barista, very talented!
I will never be back because: last time I was verbally 'attacked' by some slime ball rude manager(?) pompous guy in a blazer behind the bar, who was so aggressively 'chatty/flirty' that I almost walked out. At least that's what I think he was trying to do, but he was actually really insulting. That guy needs to leave.
the flat white is worth making a trip for but as the other reviewers, service is a big big problem here. They are apathetic and slow, the lady at the till having a face droopy would be proud of. The coffee has also been lukewarm on occasion, however the pastries have been a hit...ozone coffee roasters down the road on leonard street is far superior...
I think its great coffee!! Im from Australia and I think the place is owned by Aussies?? Thats how we drink our coffee its comes in small glasses and the milk is not overly boiled. I think if you guys are after big boiling cups of coffee then stick to Starbucks!! It does take a little longer to get a coffee than most places. Two reasons the place is rammed and secondly it takes time to make good coffee!
The coffee is average and the service is really bad. I will never go there again.
I want to like this place because the location is so convenient for me, but the coffee is just not good. I've had macchiato, late, cappuccino and mocha here but each time it's just been so bitter. Add to that the sizes are small compared to the prices charged, the barristers are incredibly slow seemingly making just one coffee at a time, and the the staff are not at all friendly, no smile no warmth. I never complain normally as I don't expect much to be honest but this place is truly awful. Also like so many coffee shops in London they don't know how to use Soya milk as they overheat and burn it each time. I still go occasionally though, as I like the space, but now I just drink tea and take a paper to read whilst i'm waiting.
Just terrible. For £2.45, I got a tiny glass of latte so lukewarm that I could have literally knocked it back in one gulp. When I politely asked for a hotter version, the sulky-faced barista said that was how they should be made and argued the toss for a minute before agreeing to make a fresh one. As she did, I heard her sniggering to her colleague (tattoos and asymmetric haircut, natch) that I wanted a 'Starbucks latte'. So, to recap: tiny drink, huge price, and badly made by pig-rude staff. The atmosphere of hipster disdain was almost palpable and it was all just so unwelcoming. A master-class in how not to do it.
The decor and music made me think this was the kind of place I would like. The coffee, unfortunately, said otherwise. I asked for a strong cappuccino, and when I went to pick it up from the barista I said 'is there an extra shot in this one?' She looked at me witheringly, said rudely 'all our coffees are double shot' as if I was some coffee newb and turned away. I shrugged and took my coffee, hoping this could be my new local place. The coffee tasted like dirty dishwater, with the tiniest hint of coffee flavour. It was one of the weakest cappuccinos I've ever had, and I've lived in the US (!) I thought about taking it back and saying it wasn't good enough, which I NEVER do, but I couldn't be bother dealing with the rude barista again. Instead I forced half of it down and left. Terrible, terrible cup of coffee.
Extremely slow service.Pricing of their tiny Cofee cup also quiet a rip of. I do wonder if the Shoreditch Silicon Roundabout might be distorting the price/value...
The service sucks. The coffee is average. The 'witty' dialogue through their signage dreadful. Whilst the space is interesting and an improvement on the old empty phone shop, it's not a comfortable environment to relax in. Too bad.
Great staff and great coffee! Highly reccomended!
Cool vibe, cool people, coffee and cakes were excellent. I will be popping back to sample the sarnies very soon, Save me a stool !!
At last! A proper cup of coffee at Old Street! The coffee is awesome and the sandwiches are really good too. Love the vibe of the place and the old cinema sign that display new messages every few weeks. I hear they're adding a recording studio upstairs?
Thought I'd give this a try as it looked like a cool concept and was a bored of Starbucks. Wish I really hadn't bothered. Waited ages for the coffee and when it turned up it was luke warm and very milky. Not impressed! To top it off the 'try hard' stools are so uncomfortable, they're like some kind of torture device. I won't be going there again!
I found it strange they were guarded about there beans... Something to hide? Good but not great. That said it makes grabbing a decent coffee after exiting old street tube on the way to work that much easier.

For this week's Monday Music Muse we're going to try something different. Instead of featuring an artist on the cusp, or one that you should know, I'm going to feature a household name. Madonna. She recently released the video for her new single from her MDNA album, Turn Up The Radio. And, she shot this video while she was in Florence, which happens to be the same time I was in Florence.
Oh, you don't say! I'm kidding. Anyway, as you probably know I also had the opportunity to attend her concert there with the other fashion bloggers from Luisa Via Roma's Firenze4Ever event. One of the things we discussed while waiting for her to come on stage was our first memory of Madonna. So I thought I would share mine with you.
When I was in fifth grade (9 years old) this boy that I had a crush on brought a Spice Girls CD to school. I had never heard of them, and when I went home I asked my mom to buy me one. "Sure," she said. "But how will you listen to it? Do they have a record?" Yes, a record, because all we had in the house was an old record player that belonged to my great-grandmother and my mom's tape player. So for Christmas that year I begged her for a boom box. Am I dating myself? Anyway, she said she would buy me one, and my grandmother said she would buy me 3 CDs for it. When she asked me what musicians I wanted, I had no clue what to say! The only people I really knew were Jim Reeves, Freddy Fender and of course (if my classmates are reading this) Gloria Gaynor. So, I said Madonna. Randomly, instinctively, I don't know it was just the first name that came to my mind. "All Madonna?" my grandmother asked. "Yes, I am a huge fan," I replied. Well, duh! She was literally the only name I knew off the top of my head, since my great-aunt, Aka, was always complaining about her cone bra! And at 10 you're just happy to hear the word bra! So…I get her CDs, Erotica, Like A Virgin and Like A Prayer (oh grandma, always wanting to make me happy), and BAM I am hooked. My instant favorite tunes are Borderline, Dress You Up (cause I've always loved clothes), Over and Over, Pretender (I watched 90210), Like A Prayer (come on she featured a Black Jesus!), Like A Virgin (cause virgins are very interesting to 10 year olds, even if you don't know you're one), Express Yourself, Fever and (don't laugh) Bad Girl! I listened to these 3 CDs for almost a year straight since my birthday was in September. It was magical, erotic, a little confusing, but most of all a good time.
As for Madonna's attire her latest video? You know, the fashion. Well, it's not a cone bra, however her cupeth runnesth over! Smooth faced, hard bodied and with a 50s hairstyle, Madonna has really never looked better. Shot with a vintage grainy look, it starts with her running out of a hotel and into a chauffeured car. It ends with her dancing in the street and making indulgent poses in the backseat of her car. Oh, and I mentioned this was shot in Italy right? MEGA! Enjoy the video everyone! And remember, turn up the
boom box radio.

To destroy an offender cannot benefit society so much as to redeem him.Lyman Frank Baum
The observer is a prince who enjoys his incognito everywhere. The lover of life makes the world his family, just as the lover of the fair sex devises his family from all discovered, discoverable and undiscoverable beauties; as the lover of pictures lives in an enchanted society of painted dreams on canvas.Charles Baudelaire
It was manifest that all persons who had learned that political science is an affair of conscience rather than of might or expediency, must regard their adversaries as men without principle, that the controversy between them would perpetually involve morality, and could not be governed by the plea of good intentions which softens down the asperities of religious strife. Nearly all the greatest men of the seventeenth century repudiated the innovation. In the eighteenth, the two ideas of Grotius, that there are certain political truths by which every state and every interest must stand or fall, and that society is knit together by a series of real and hypothetical contracts, became, in other hands, the lever that displaced the world. When, by what seemed the operation of an irresistible and constant law, royalty had prevailed over all enemies and all competitors, it became a religion. Its ancient rivals, the baron and the prelate, figured as supporters by its side.John Dalberg-Acton, Lord Acton
Liberty and good government do not exclude each other; and there are excellent reasons why they should go together. Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. It is not for the sake of a good public administration that it is required, but for security in the pursuit of the highest objects of civil society, and of private life. Increase of freedom in the State may sometimes promote mediocrity, and give vitality to prejudice; it may even retard useful legislation, diminish the capacity for war, and restrict the boundaries of Empire.John Dalberg-Acton, Lord Acton
The development of a country has to start at the foundation of the society, the "family".Begum Aga Khan
The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society.Edward Bernays
At times my spirit was too strong for me, and I gave vent to dangerous utterances. Already I was considered heterodox if not treasonable, and I was keenly alive to the danger of my position; nevertheless I could not at times refrain from bursting out into suspicious or half-seditious utterances, even among the highest Polygonal and Circular society. When, for example, the question arose about the treatment of those lunatics who said that they had received the power of seeing the insides of things, I would quote the saying of an ancient Circle, who declared that prophets and inspired people are always considered by the majority to be mad; and I could not help occasionally dropping such expressions as "the eye that discerns the interiors of things", and "the all-seeing land"; once or twice I even let fall the forbidden terms "the Third and Fourth Dimensions". At last, to complete a series of minor indiscretions, at a meeting of our Local Speculative Society held at the palace of the Prefect himself, some extremely silly person having read an elaborate paper exhibiting the precise reasons why Providence has limited the number of Dimensions to Two, and why the attribute of omnividence is assigned to the Supreme alone I so far forgot myself as to give an exact account of the whole of my voyage with the Sphere into Space, and to the Assembly Hall in our Metropolis, and then to Space again, and of my return home, and of everything that I had seen and heard in fact or vision. At first, indeed, I pretended that I was describing the imaginary experiences of a fictitious person; but my enthusiasm soon forced me to throw off all disguise, and finally, in a fervent peroration, I exhorted all my hearers to divest themselves of prejudice and to become believers in the Third Dimension. Need I say that I was at once arrested and taken before the Council?Edwin Abbott
When a community is composed of honest, sober and virtuous people, your forming a bad opinion about anyone of its members, when nothing wicked has been seen of him, is a great injustice to him. On the contrary in a corrupt society to form good opinion of anyone of them and to trust him is to harm yourself.Ali bin Abu-Talib
The notion that the church, the press, and the universities should serve the state is essentially a Communist notion. In a free society these institutions must be wholly free which is to say that their function is to serve as checks upon the state.Alan Barth
We must remain constantly vigilant. We dare not underestimate our enemy. Al Qaeda is committed to the destruction of America, and they are in it for the long haul. They are much smarter than many give them credit for being, and they are definitely much more patient than the pace of our fast-food society conditions us to be. Their commitment does not depend on bin Laden or any other single leader.John David Ashcroft
Bernard Shaw remains the only model we have of what the citizen of a democracy should be: an informed participant in all things we deem important to the society and the individual.Jacques Barzun
English civilization the humanizing, the bringing into one harmonious and truly humane life, of the whole body of English society that is what interests me.Matthew Arnold
Our country weeps today because we have lost our way and this has occurred because we have allowed political expediency and racial superiority to become the basis by which we govern our multi-ethnic and multicultural societyMick Beddoes
The three main elements of public relations are practically as old as society: informing people, persuading people, or integrating people with people. Of course, the means and methods of accomplishing these ends have changed as society has changed.Edward Bernays
We are in the process of creating what deserves to be called the idiot culture. Not an idiot sub-culture, which every society has bubbling beneath the surface and which can provide harmless fun; but the culture itself. For the first time, the weird and the stupid and the coarse are becoming our cultural norm, even our cultural ideal.Carl Bernstein
The fabric of our complex society is woven too tightly to permit any part of it to be damaged without damaging the whole.Joseph Robinette
I am an anarchist in my personal life. I try to live my life in a way that I don't need cops or baby-sitters to keep me from infringing on others. But I don't feel we have evolved far enough as a species to make anarchy work in society itself. We still need government to transfer the wealth from those who have too much to those who have too little, to make sure important projects get done, and keep territorial humans from screwing over and killing each other.Jello Biafra
It would be bad politics to try and summarize a situation which is dynamic. Have faith in mankind and its mission. God the Creator is the God of all mankind. God is omnipotent yet. The Creator of this World and the World after this one has imposed on Himself the obligation to be kind and forgiving. No tin-pot dictator of a palm-tree society is capable of imposing any such obligations on himself. On the contrary, he vainly boasts that he is answerable and accountable to nobody.Zulfikar Ali Bhutto
I am guiding you to seek truth from the facts of the historical conditions of our society and to identify the problems. The correct solutions will come with the correct identification of the problems.Zulfikar Ali Bhutto
The state is or can be master of money, but in a free society it is master of very little else.William Henry Beveridge,1st Baron Beveridge of Tug
That is for me the reason why I have to speak, and I have to speak more often than I do so-called art-work. You see, the complication is that I have to use something.. ..I have to use a traditional determination for ideas, so when I speak about art, I can only say that there are two kinds of art: the traditional art, which is unable to bring up art at all or to change anything in society or in the ability and the joy for life; and then, there is another kind of art, which is related to everybodys needs and the problems existing in the society. This kind of art has to be worked out from the beginning, it will never lead to result in any physical form.. ..that is my meaning.Joseph Beuys
Certainly, the contradiction of tensions and divisions between the followers of different religious traditions, sadly, cannot be denied. However, is it not also the case that often it is the ideological manipulation of religion, sometimes for political ends, that is the real catalyst for tension and division, and at times even violence in society?Pope Benedict XVI
The modern clercs have created in so-called cultivated society a positive romanticism of harshness. The have also created a romanticism of contempt.Julien Benda
While there are practical and sometimes moral reasons for the decomposition of the family, it coincides neither with what most people in society say they desire nor, especially in the case of children, with their best interests.Robert Neelly Bellah

Lighttpd installation and video forwarding
I am streaming my videos through port 81, however, when I click on the middle of a video I do not get what I was expecting (forwarding). Does this have to do with my lighttpd installation, or with the software I am using? I am using a framework where I think all that has to be done is set a '1' on a lighttpd streaming value, and it should be good to go if lighttpd is installed correctly (I did it once before and it was as easy as that and installing lighttpd, but don't know what's going on now)
I am using lighttpd 1.5 on CentOS. Streaming through port 81. Here are some of the lines that I added to lighttpd.conf and modules.conf:
From what I can see in firebug, the video is being streamed through mydomain.com:81. The Live HTTP headers of Firefox also show no problem; they display the video being streamed using lighttpd and octet/stream as application.
Any input that could help me deal with this?
Thank you very much!

Rihanna Suing TopShop for Selling Clothes with her Face Plastered on Them
Diamond singer Rihanna is suing TopShop company for using her image to sell clothes without her consent. Rihanna did not give the company permission to use her image on the tees and the company reportedly offered her a meager sum of $5,000 which is pretty much an insult to the star as her image is the reason why the tank top is a hot seller in the first place. Rihanna filed a lawsuit against the company for a cool $5 million.

The newspaper's findings come just two months after Gov. Pat Quinn abolished the oft-abused program and after a federal grand jury sought records for scholarships bestowed by at least three state legislators. One of those lawmakers — Sen. Annazette Collins, D-Chicago — chose to give a coveted 2012 scholarship to a University of Illinois at Chicago student who moved to the city from Texas for school.
In the past decade, at least 75 legislators awarded scholarships to children of people who contributed to the lawmakers' re-election committees or other political funds they controlled, according to the Tribune review. At least three students whose fathers were later charged with public corruption had their tuitions waived by Democratic lawmakers, records show.
During that same time period, lawmakers also awarded at least 317 scholarships to the relatives of state workers, whose positions range from toll collector to assistant attorney general, according to a comparison of scholarship recipients with the state payroll. Family members of at least eight judges — none of whom makes less than $140,000 annually — also received tuition waivers, according to the paper's review.
Amid media reports of abuse and federal probes, pressure mounted in recent years for legislators to end the waivers. The scholarships became so radioactive that some lawmakers stopped handing them out. In 2012, 519 scholarships were awarded compared with more than 1,400 in 2009 and more than 1,200 in 2010.
The bill to abolish the scholarships passed by a large margin in the House and Senate in May. Twenty-two of the 122 lawmakers who voted to end the program still awarded scholarships this year, including House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton, both Chicago Democrats.
Under the now-defunct program, legislators received the equivalent of two four-year scholarships each year to award in any way they chose. The waivers' only legal requirement was that the students live in the lawmakers' district when they received the waiver.
Though most legislators have doled out the awards, which waive tuition and fees, as one-year scholarships, eight legislators gave multiyear awards this year to ensure that the program stretches far beyond its September end date. Three students received four-year scholarships this year, a perk so rare that no legislator had chosen that route since 2008.
Among those giving multiyear waivers was state Rep. Scott Penny, D-Fairmont City. When Penny, a police chief in that small town outside St. Louis, was appointed by local Democratic leaders late last year to replace a departing lawmaker, he vowed not to run for an additional term and to focus only on serving his constituents.
"It's a wonderful job, but I don't know if it's for me," he told his local newspaper, the Belleville News-Democrat. "The thought of me being up here (in Springfield) long-term, I don't think is realistic or practical."
But it didn't take Penny long to dive into the well-worn Springfield practice of doling out legislative scholarships.
With the perk about to expire just months into his new job, Penny gave out two four-year scholarships to a pair of students. State records show that the parents of both students have ties to the St. Clair County Democratic Party.
One scholarship went to Danielle Fiudo of Fairmont City, where Penny has been police chief since the late 1980s until taking an unpaid leave to serve in the General Assembly. Fiudo's father, Michael, is a village trustee in Fairmont City.
The other scholarship went to Taylor Lundy of Belleville. Records show she is the daughter of Michael Lundy, a Democratic precinct committeeman in Belleville Township and former Belleville city treasurer. He is now executive director of the Southwestern Illinois Development Authority.
Another Lundy daughter also received a four-year ride to Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville, from powerful Sen. James Clayborne, D-Belleville, starting in 2008.
Michael Lundy said he does not know Penny personally and never called the lawmaker about the scholarship.
"When Rep. Penny called me and told me he was going to give her a legislative scholarship, I thought they were no longer going to have them. I was surprised," Lundy said.
Neither Penny nor the Fiudo family returned calls for comment.

ExxonMobil Senior Vice President Donald D. Humphreys Announces Retirement
Donald D. Humphreys, 64, senior vice president and principal financial officer of Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:XOM), has announced his intention to retire on February 1, 2013, after more than 36 years of service.
Mr. Humphreys has been a member of the corporation's management committee since January 2006. In addition to his financial management role, he has also been responsible for ExxonMobil's fuels, lubricants and specialties marketing and global services operations.
Mr. Humphreys joined Exxon Chemical Company in August 1976 and had several assignments in Houston, Baton Rouge and Baytown before becoming senior financial advisor at Exxon Corporation in New York.

Is It Against The Law To Watch The Super Bowl On A Screen Larger Than 55 Inches?
In broadcasting, talking about The Superbowl is scary. We have to talk about it because everybody else is...but if we talk about it the wrong way we could get fined a lot of money! Turns out that broadcasters aren't the only ones at risk here. Did you know that it is against the law to watch the Superbowl on a screen larger than 55 inches?
Best Of The Super Bowl Ads
A lot of the must-see ads premiering during the Super… um, er… "Big Game" have already leaked through various tubes into the Internet. So instead of fast forwarding through the game just to get to the ads, and enduring that horrible bean dip that Uncle Phil brought, here are a few of our favorites:

- The Best Scrambled Eggs Ever
- Tuscan Bean Soup
- California Chicken Wraps
- Salmon Patties
- Turkey Chili-Topped Turkey Burgers (another Rachel Ray recipe)
- Sausage Spinach Pasta Toss
Back when I had time to watch the Food Network while nursing (that happens when you have your FIRST child, and then never again!), I caught a soup a la Rachael Ray that sounded interesting. This was just as I was starting to get into healthier food, but wasn't really a diva in the kitchen. This soup marks one of my first "buy an ingredient you've never heard of before" escapades. The original uses a green called broccoli rabe (pronounced "rob"), which I actually found in my grocery store and used the first time. Rachael Ray said I could substitute kale or spinach, though, and since then I have, because:
- We thought broccoli rabe was awfully bitter
- Kale is an in-season, local item in the summer
- I like recipes that help me use up a huge box of spinach when it goes on sale
I think it's important to be able to adapt recipes to (a) make them fit your style and family's preferences and (b) upgrade the nutrition. I'm going to publish RR's original recipe with my comments and changes in italics. For those of you who would like to print my version, click here for a clean copy. For the original, click here. For other ideas to include broth and/or beans in your summer fare check out this post: Ways to Use Broth and Beans in the Summer
Sausage, Beans and Broccoli Rabe Soup
(Recipe by Rachael Ray)
- 2 Tbs Extra-virgin olive oil (could use less to none…and when is someone going to tell RR that EVOO is not very stable for sauteeing?!?)
- 1 ¼ lbs bulk Italian sweet sausage (can use 1 lb. roll sausage (like Bob Evans or Jimmy Dean, hot or regular) or turkey and sausage seasoning instead)
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 carrot, chopped
- 1 large potato, peeled and chopped (or leave the peels on for nutrients, especially if you have organic potatoes)
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped (chop and leave for 7 minutes before heating for optimal health benefits; don't overcook)
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 cans white beans, drained and rinsed (I of course try to use dry beans most of the time; see how to cook them)
- salt and pepper
- 4 c. broccoli rabe and greens (as I mentioned above, I prefer kale and use spinach if I have it)
- 2 qts chicken broth or stock (homemade, without question)
- Grated Parmigiano-Reggiano or Romano, to pass at table (Ummm, where would one find that?! I use the ready-to-go stuff in the bottle. I recently purchased my first "real" Parmesan cheese, which is fun, but I'm not going to go out of my way to have it on hand.)
Heat medium soup pot over medium-high heat (medium-low if using EVOO!). Add the oil and sausage and brown. (I always drain the fat; I don't use pastured pork or turkey yet…) Add veggies, bay leaf and beans. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook 5 minutes to soften veggies. Add greens and wilt. Add stock and cover. Raise heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes. Serve with grated cheese for topping.
Super foods: SEVEN, if you use the EVOO anyway, turkey sausage, and kale (along with onions, garlic, beans, and stock), plus one honorable mention (carrots).
Cost: $3 or $4.00 if everything is at its cheapest ($1 for ground turkey, $1 for on-sale spinach, free stock, and $1 for 2 cans of beans or less for dry)
Added Bonus: This is of course a quick-fix (30 minutes IF you chop like a Food Network star!) meal, and my favorite part is buying almost every ingredient at the Farmer's Market this time of year.
On the show I saw, Rachael Ray served this with a yummy grilled tomato, fresh basil and mozzarella sandwich. This has become one of our family's favorite dipping sandwiches, especially in the summer when tomatoes are local and basil is fresh. We just improved on it a little this week by using fresh pesto instead of basil. The flavor was more evenly spread, and you didn't have to bite through a big basil leaf or risk it coming out of the sandwich. That's how we'll do it from now on, and I can freeze my pesto in little plops, then thaw one for the fresh basil taste in the winter. Woo hoo!
We grill them on our George Foreman, by the way, just like this chicken wrap.
Adding the sandwiches probably adds a dollar or so to the meal, depending a great deal on how expensive your tomatoes are and how thickly you slice your mozzarella!
Why might you want to substitute turkey sausage for pork? Turkey is a Super Food and has great health benefits, like super high protein…click here for more.
Why use kale? It has its own impressive list of health benefits here.

A 31 years old Frenchwoman was found lying dead on a beach north from the southern city of Toliara. Her friend is still missing. The general direction of the national state police and even the armed forces top command are jointly addressing the issue. Locals have never seen this before. An exceptional case, isnt it?
A Malagasy woman got her throat slit by outlaws in the district of the 64Ha in Antananarivo. A state policeman was murdered in Bezaha, in the country's southern part. These were so-named casual incidents and definitely not the armed forces' business.
Now that a young French citizen had to foot the bill, the army's joint chief of staff and the top commanders of the national state police joined the scene of the crime together at a time. The purpose? Addressing the insecurity affecting the region, as displayed by this incident. Outstanding demonstration of care, isn't it? Even four people have so far been arrested.

Farm Science Review to Break New Ground
Exhibitors and show-goers alike will Break New Ground at this year's 51st annual Farm Science Review, reveling in the latest technology, equipment and innovations in the agriculture industry. "Last year for the 50th anniversary of the Farm Science Review, we celebrated the milestone by reflecting on the storied past and the rich history of the show," said Chuck Gamble, Farm Science Review Manager. "This year, we're focusing on the future of our industry and how we can better prepare farmers for the opportunities and challenges ahead."
Best In Show - Livestock Judging Gets An Upgrade
Scales and agriculture have gone hand in hand for centuries. The food chain has become big business throughout the course of recent history, and Wisconsin-based Rice Lake Weighing Systems is just one company that cut its teeth on farming. This family-owned scale maker could once call Wisconsin's creameries and dairies the bread and butter of their business. Today, the "Rice Lake" brand can be found worldwide, from alfalfa fields and feed mills to grocery delis and checkout counters.
Types of Livestock Scales
Livestock scales are generally used in weighing large animals like cattle, horses and sheep, since these animals need to be held and weighed accurately. Weighing scales are particularly important to veterinarians specializing in farm animals because typical veterinary scales are unable to weigh large animals. Likewise, weighing scales are also used in zoos to monitoring the weights of the animals.
The Path To Cattle Profit
Crossbreeding may fit most producers, but it is not the only logical path, says a leading cattle feeder and an animal scientist. Tom Brink, president of J&F Oklahoma Holdings, says feeding 1.6 million cattle per year at Five Rivers Feedlots has led him to conclude: "Planned crossbreeding is not the problem. Planned straight breeding is not the problem. Breeding cattle without any consistent plan is the problem." He commented at the 45th Annual Beef Improvement Federation (BIF) meeting June 12 in Oklahoma City, where a series of presentations and a panel discussion examined the rationale for breeding systems.
What is Mob Grazing?
Ultra-high stock density grazing, also called mob grazing, is a practice where a large concentration of animals are restricted to graze a small area, usually for a very short period of time. While there's no strict definition on the size of herd or smallness of the area, some folks suggest at least 300,000 lbs. of animals/acre, or about 200 cow-calf pairs/acre, 1,000 pairs on five acres, or 50 pairs on a quarter acre. A few mob grazing experts have gone more than three times higher, to more than 1 million lbs. of animal/acre, says Bruce Anderson, University of Nebraska Extension forage specialist.
Young American Cattlemen
We got an outpouring of letters and emails from participants in our recent Cute Cattle Contest.
The letter reprinted below is typical of the positive experience our nation's youth and young adults are having with raising livestock. The letter was sent to me by Laura Dove, who stated "I'm writing you because of how hard Derek works, and because many of his friends have given up on the farming dream.

It's been a massive turnaround of fortune for Mickie Knuckles over the last few years. After being on the verge of stardom in TNA's Knockouts division in 2008, the former IWA: Mid-South Women's Champion and Queen of the Death Match suffered a devastating injury, snapping her femur during a match against Sara Del Rey. Surgery followed, and later a breaking of ties from Ian Rotten's IWA: MS Promotion. Following that, Knuckles began a path of reinvention, turning herself into the comeback kid in the process.
She started expanding her horizons, taking bookings all across the US, and changing people's opinions of her. Knuckles had been pigeonholed as a garbage wrestler – someone who could only do death matches and had no discernible wrestling ability, though a look at her early days when she was wrestling the likes of Daizee Haze and MsChif would disprove that – and was now proving that she was as good or better than her opponent across the ring. Team that up with a second character – the feisty Izza Belle Smothers – and you have a versatile grappler who is marketable because of her ability, her character and her look.
Currently the Absolute Intense Wrestling Women's Champion, Mickie sat down for an interview with the promotion before her title defence against Mia Yim with Gail Kim as the ref in late November last year. She briefly discusses her training, snapping her leg, the alteration of the Mickie Knuckles character, the match against Mena Libra where Libra broke her foot in three places, taking on Hailey Hatred and her desire to wrestle Del Rey again. On that last front, Knuckles will get her wish on January 29 at Girls Night Out 5 in Cleveland, as Knuckles will defend the AIW Women's Title against the Queen Of Wrestling. Click after the jump to see the video, as well as the other matches signed for Girls Night Out…
As of press time, here's the card as we know it for GNO5:

Vocalist Daryl Stamps gives The Mars Volta a run for their money with his higher than usual vocal pitch similarities. Normally vocalists who try this technique end up failing miserably and sounding atrocious to pretty much every living thing with a pulse. Surprisingly, Scatter the Ashes pull it off, and they do it rather well. Daryl's voice really fits the music, and only furthers the areas explored by the creativity of the band. His screams add an extra hint of darkness that will win over those who normally aren't into prog rock. Lyrically, this band puts most punk bands to shame, and doesn't necessarily contain the anarchistic viewpoints of typical punk. If you like the Mars Volta and Brazil, you'll instantly enjoy Scatter the Ashes.
Some noticeable influences of STA's punk/prog rock style include the Ramones, the Cure, The Mars Volta, Rush and Radiohead. Epitaph picked up STA to diversify their lineup based on this sound and looked to provide something more than just another stereotypical punk band. It looks like Epitaph made a good choice, since this band has massive potential just waiting to be unleashed based on what can be heard in this album.
Just about every track screams with innovation, but the standout tracks of the album I enjoy the most are "In the Company of Wolves", and "Christine Daae". The first is thoughtful, melodic, and catchy enough to draw in a music enthusiast as well as the common mainstream (musically challenged) that have no concept of music outside of what is played on MTV. The latter is a powerful and aggressive piece made especially for us metal/punk fans who live and breathe off heavy music.
Given the diversity of the music, Scatter the Ashes can accumulate a tremendous and diversified fan base. If their material can satisfy a metalhead like me, it can win over many others as well. This very much could be the best surprise release of the year, and the answer to those seeking something different for a change. The Mars Volta still graces my CD player constantly, as will this album for many months to come.

Cave In
The Cure
Lance Conzett
To sum up Scatter the Ashes' debut, "Devout/The Modern Hymn," in a word---this album is intense. As easy as it is to lump the band into the generic and stupidly sounding category of screamo, it would have been just as easy for them to take that route and fill an album with basic sounding songs that have nothing new to bring us. But, "screamo" barely scratches the surface of how far they've gone to break away from the norm. This album combines so many styles of music that it borders on obscene. If you put Rites of Spring, Fugazi and Joy Division in a blender, the product would only yield the closing song, Hour Benediction. The entire album swirls with different styles and innovative ways of bridging each song, taking careful consideration of every pause and breakdown. Daryl Stamps delivers his anti-NRA anthem, White Actress, so furiously that Charlton Heston himself would be quaking in his boots. Each line is conveyed like musical dynamite and each song is so intertwined with the songs surrounding it that the album is best taken in as a whole and not just as a selection of songs.
"Devout/The Modern Hymn" is truly something that we've never heard before and as hard as some bands try to win the title of uniqueness, Scatter the Ashes is one that finally hits a home run. Pay attention to this band, because they could very well change the face of rock music as we know it. For a debut album, "Devout/The Modern Hymn" is amazing, but if they develop as musicians after this album, their sophomore effort is likely to be a thing of legendary proportions.
