WASHINGTON (AP) - The number of people seeking unemployment aid barely changed last week and the average over the past month fell to a fresh five-year low. A decline in layoffs is helping strengthen the job market.
The Labor Department says weekly unemployment benefit applications rose just 2,000 to a seasonally adjusted 336,000. The four-week average, a less volatile measure, fell 7,500 to 339,750. That's the lowest since February 2008, just three months into the recession.
A steady decline in unemployment claims signals companies are laying off fewer workers. That suggests they aren't worried that business will fall off in the near future.
The average has fallen nearly 15 percent since November. Fewer layoffs typically suggest that net hiring will pick up.

Commune (pop., 2000: 11,417), eastern Switzerland. It consists of two villages, Davos-Platz and Davos-Dorf, located in a valley of the Alps. First inhabited by Romansh-speaking people, it was settled in the 13th century by German speakers. It became the capital of the League of Ten Jurisdictions (or Courts) in 1436 and was ruled by Austria from 1477 to 1649. After the 1860s it became a fashionable health resort, and in the 20th century it developed into a centre for skiing and other winter sports. In the 1990s Davos became famous for hosting the World Economic Forum, an annual gathering of international politicians and financiers who represented a transnational elite.

Mole Mania Review
Mole Mania Review
Muddy Mole is a name that doesn't come up in many gaming conversations. Sure, everyone knows Monty Mole from the Super Mario games, but my personal favourite mole was buried under the popularity of Link's Awakening, Metroid II: Return of Samus, and the Super Mario Land games. To my delight, Muddy Mole has recently emerged from his hole on the Nintendo eShop's Virtual Console service in one of the Game Boy's most underappreciated gems, Mole Mania.
Mole Mania is a unique puzzle game with a hint of action-adventure that stars none other than our previously mentioned hero, Muddy Mole. Gamers take on the role of Muddy Mole, an adorable, cabbage loving mole that sets out to rescue his family from the hands of evil farmer, Jinbe. To do this, Muddy must navigate puzzling layouts one room at a time by using his ability to push around heavy objects, and of course, going underground.
There are eight levels in Mole Mania, each consisting of a number of rooms containing puzzles. Rooms must be cleared one at a time while a boss waits for you in the final room. The goal for clearing each room is to push (or throw) a giant ball into the door blocking the next room. While this may sound simplistic, each room also contains a number of obstacles that will hinder Muddy's progress. Some of these obstacles include enemies, spikes that can't be walked on, holes, and blockers. Mole Mania starts off easy, but solving rooms proves to be quite challenging as you progress through the game; surprisingly, most levels take about an hour to complete and maybe longer if you get stuck.
Using Muddy's ability to dig underground will become a huge part of your repertoire. Muddy can only dig in soft ground, something that will no doubt cause some head scratching at times. Digging in the ground will also leave holes behind, and unnecessary holes can be troublesome. Balls will fall in holes and return to their spawn point, barrels will fill in said holes – which can also block your path underground – and other objects just can't cross over the holes. Figuring out how to use each object and in which manner is what you'll be doing throughout the majority of Mole Mania; the puzzles themselves are really clever and being able to dig underground makes navigating them a lot of fun.
Muddy is easily controlled with the D-Pad and handles like most top-down characters, think of Link from The Legend of Zelda, he digs with A, and the B button allows you to grab objects. Grabbing and maneuvering objects play a huge role in Mole Mania, especially when you need to cross holes. When you grab an object you can push it forward, or throw it behind you by pressing the opposite direction on the D-Pad. This tactic is extremely useful when you need Muddy to throw balls across holes. Another useful tactic is the technique that lets Muddy peek above ground when he is underground, this can help you avoid encounters with enemies, or to peacefully plan your assault without fear of danger.
Mole Mania also has some interesting puzzle-like boss battles. These battles occur in a single room, much like the rest of the game, but players will have to cleverly lead bosses into danger, or even think outside the box to best these critters. Even after defeating bosses and clearing each level, there is still more to Mole Mania.
Each level in Mole Mania can be perfect by obtaining a 100% score. This score is calculated by given values for completing certain tasks in each level. Discovering each room will give you points; whereas completing bonus levels will give you even more points. Players must also make sure they dunk all 20 cabbages scattered about each level into a hole. Getting 100% on each level means that players can unlock and tackle the final level, where a showdown with Jinbe awaits.
There is also an interesting two-player mode in Mole Mania, but I have no way of playing it for evaluation. Luckily, with a little research, I was able to discover that this two-player mode plays a lot like the game's bonus levels. One player controls Muddy and tries to steal cabbages while the other controls Jinbe who must stop Muddy at all costs. There is a second round in the two-player mode that sees players switching roles; the winner is the person that steals the most cabbages. This is an interesting multiplayer effort that has probably been played less than the game itself.
Aside from its clever gameplay, Mole Mania also impresses with detailed, cartoon-like sprites that could rival any Game Boy game, not to mention a catchy soundtrack that could arguably be amongst the top 10 Game Boy soundtracks.
5/5 D-Pads: Mole Mania's release in 1996 – a time when everyone started to get excited about the future of gaming – may have hampered its notoriety, but that now makes it one of the Game Boy's best hidden gems. There isn't really anything negative I could say about Mole Mania because I believe it achieved everything it set out to do. Some may be put off by its surprising difficulty and lengthy levels, but others will enjoy diving into its puzzling atmosphere. In my opinion, Mole Mania is one of the greatest Game Boy games to ever grace the monochromatic handheld.

Okay, I found a little more information about the Guhls in the family line I am researching. Here is my new information: "Edwin Guhl" is actually Sir Edwin Martin Von Guhl who married Rosalyn (Lindy) Shumway. His father was Edwin Martin Von Guhl who married Amanda Martin in Germany. Amandas parents were Franco and Whilemina. Edwin Martin Von Guhl's father was Martin Von Guhl. Apparently, when they came over, they dropped the "Von" part of the name due to the fact that the area they lived in there were other immigrants of other nationalities that interpreted "vonguhl" as "f- you". (Okay, here I am just relaying the story I was told today by my husbands half-aunt, bear with me, I am trying to sort out fact from fantasy.) The other thing I was told is that Franco Martin actually fought in the Franco war. Apparently, also, the Von Guhls had nobility titles and my half-aunt was told that there were a few dukes in the family. If this sounds even remotely familiar, or you know how I can track these guys down through other sites, I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks in advance! -Kara Notify Administrator about this message?

Testing Methodology
View our full testing methodology article.
- Accessory Port Testing
Ports to which an external storage device can be connected to are tested using HD Tune Pro to obtain their maximum, minimum and average read and write speeds. USB 2.0, USB 3.0 and eSATA ports are tested using a Corsair Neutron GTX 240GB SSD that is capable of saturating the theoretical bandwidth available.
The Corsair Neutron GTX is housed inside an Icy Dock external enclosure which features a SATA I/II/III to USB 3.0 and eSATA converter.
- Gaming Tests
3DMark Vantage is ran on the Performance preset to get a feel for how the computer would manage gaming. The CPU, GPU and combined scores are reported. A higher overall score is the best and a high GPU or CPU score shows particular prowess with tasks that use that part of the computer.
3DMark 11 is run on the Performance preset and the Physics, GPU and combined scores are reported. This test is only run if the system supports DirectX 11. A higher overall score is the target, though a high individual result shows prowess in a particular area.
- System Tests
PCMark 7 is run to get an overall idea of how the system performs as a whole. It tests all aspects of the PC and puts a score on how well it performs overall. In this test, a low scoring area can affect the overall score, so it's important to read the analysis. A higher score is better.
MobileMark 2012 is another test run to get a feeling for the system performance taken as a whole. MobileMark 2012 uses real-world applications as part of the benchmark. We use the Office Productivity suite which includes applications like Adobe Acrobat and Microsoft Word. The test also reports battery life as all tests are run on battery. Higher is better for both results.
CrystalDiskMark is run to put a number on how well the system hard disk drive / SSD runs. It measures five different metrics, of which higher is better for all. The higher the numbers, the snappier the operating system will feel, especially if the "4K" number is high, as most operating system files are small files.
- Battery Life
PowerMark is used to measure battery life of the system when set to "Balanced" and "Performance" power plans. This test simulates several different activities, but uses custom built applications.

According to a report on a German tech website, Valve's Steam Box will launch in 2013 and will use Linux instead of Windows.
Speaking at the EHSM 2012 conference in Berlin last month, Valve electronics engineer Ben Krasnow is reported to have confirmed that the so-called Steam Box will run a Linux-based system.
The account of his claims comes from German tech site Golem.de, which indicates that the Steam Box will be unveiled in 2013, and will not be the only major technology that the studio presents this year.
According to the report, it's expected that Steam Box will be unveiled at either GDC 2013 in late March or E3 2013 in June.
It comes as little surprise that Valve is snubbing Microsoft's operating system, following Gabe Newell's comments last year that Windows 8 is "a catastrophe for everybody in the PC space".

Life is too short to eat fat-free cheese
Monday, August 20, 2007It's time to call it quits
I've been blogging for over 2.5 years and as you probably have noticed, I really haven't done much in the last 2-3 months. It's about time that I give this up as the drive just isn't there anymore. I covered the last 2 Packer seasons, drafts, etc and I watched all the games thinking in my head "How can I best blog this?". It has become tiring. Now I am simply going to enjoy the games and still critique them, but I think I would be better served for a while just commenting on other Packer sites and blogs, as that is what we all crave, someone to comment on what we do.
This blog was originally started as a writing experiment and turned into a primarily WI sports (mostly Packer) site with some snippets of my life thrown in. I've met a lot of great people while doing this and found sites I never would have. So, where should you go for great Packer info? Brats and Beer has always been a favorite, he's a good writer and not afraid to call BS when he sees it. Mr. Carriveau does a fantastic job over at the Railbird Central. He's made leaps and bounds in his blog over the last 1.5 years. Proud to say I was there in the beginning for him. The gang over at The Frozen Tundra has carried the torch very well that I started 2 yrs ago there (where I had some of my best writings). Check out SBNations Acme Packing Company. It's a new guy who's just started about 2-3 months ago but he's doing a nice job. Someday, I hope to write again when the muse strikes and hopefully one of these fine sites would allow me to join their team as my days of flying solo are at an end. It's been a great run of over 450 posts and 75,000 visitors. I thank all of you for making this site so much fun for so long. Take care and God bless. Monday, August 13, 2007First preseason game in the books
The Packers played the Steelers on Saturday night. The final score really doesn't matter (we won 13-9) and all that does are injuries and several positional battles. So, here's what we learned:
Most importantly, nobody got hurt in the game. Justin Harrell was exhausted at the end of the game, but he needs to get into football shape after such a long injury layoff. Plus, the Packers are thin right now with DT and he needed to play some extended time. Thursday, August 09, 200747 games to go
What is with the Brewers on the road?
They are the 5th worst road team in the MLB. They have a winning percentage of 38% on the road, that's pathetic. They have lost 9 of their last 11 on the road, add in that they have lost 5 of their last 9 at home, that's 6-14 in the last 20 games and it's a sad state of affairs in Milwaukee. The worst part is, they have more road than home games to finish the season. This has gone way beyond the Brewers not catching breaks or catching a hot team at the wrong time. This is flat out a crappy ballclub right now and has been for some time. Sure, some may say I'm just mad after we get swept by Colorado. True, but the Crew was not even competitive in that series, not even close. They were outscored 36-10. 36-10!!! The vaunted starting pitching staff we were supposed to have has failed us for over the past two months. Suppan (ERA 4.84/ WHIP 1.52) has been a complete bust, Bush (5.03/1.36) hasn't repeated last year's performance which likely was a fluke, Vargas (4.97/1.50) only wins because he happens to get run support, otherwise he's not much better than Bush. Cappy (4.96/1.49) has hit bottom, and our best pitcher Sheets (3.39/1.16) is on the DL for a while yet. Don't even get me started on how completely unreliable our bullpen is. I'm making the call right now: This team is not winning the division, nor are they making the playoffs. There is no pitching here and at this point in the season, that's what separates the contenders from the pretenders. There is absolutely zero confidence in the Brewers dugout right now. They are hoping they can win the division, hope is not a strategy. They have to go out there and take the division. However, this team is not ready yet to do that, they don't know how. It's another disappointing season in Milwaukee, I'm just choosing to believe it a month and a half early. I hope the Brewers prove me wrong, but I just don't see it happening. Monday, August 06, 2007Photo of the Day
Training camp is looking great right now, but it's camp and I won't get too worked up about it. So to pass the time, I figured some nice picures will pass the time this week until we get to the first preseason game.
Wednesday, August 01, 2007KG gone from MN
Got a comment from my NYC atty buddy Russ wondering about the KG trade. Since I live in the Twin Cities I get a front row seat for it.
The T-Wolves are a complete disaster right now and have been for several seasons. They gave stupid contracts to poor players who had some success. Those players than went on to suck horribly. However, the worst contract that was given was to the Big Ticket himself. His deal he got in 1997 for 6 yrs $126 million was worse for basketball than A-Rod's deal was for baseball. KG's deal handcuffed the Wolves for years as they simply could not sign players. Then his contract extention in 2003 which gave him over $20M/yr continued the lunacy. Sure they made trades, but eventually, those players left for more money. The T'Wolves are rebuilding, yet again and KG simply couldn't and wouldn't go through that. He wants to win a title and Boston offers him a better chance of getting there in the weak Eastern Conference. If he, Pierce and Allen can stay healthy, Boston should run away with the Atlantic Division and be a 1 or 2 seed come playoff time. Happy days are back in Boston. Minnesota sports fans love the big name player and essentially need it to really root for and follow a sports team. Right now, the T-Wolves don't have that and I would be surprised if they avg in the top half of attendance this coming season. This is a 20-25 win team in Minneapolis right now. Tuesday, July 31, 2007Around the NFC North Camps
Well, now that some training camps have started I thought it would be interesting to look around to see how some of our division rivals are doing:
Detroit Lions Kitna became the laughing stock of the league by saying the Lions were going to win 10 games this season. Yes, they did draft Calvin Johnson, but he still isn't signed and per the web, he's not even close. He stays out too long and he won't get a chance to get to know a complex Mike Martz offense and will be fairly useless his rookie year. The OL still hasn't gotten any better from last season and thus no running game and poor pass protection. Poor poor Lions. Minnesota Vikings Well, Tarvaris Jackson is looking absolutely brutal so far. He apparently is allergic to completing passes to his own teammates. It is looking more and more like Brooks Bollinger is going to be the starting QB come opening day. If Brooks is your starter, your offense is screwed, well, same can be said of Tarvaris. RB Chester Taylor got hurt and rookie RB Adrian Peterson isn't dazzling anyone so far. The Vikes D apparently looks good, but look at what they are going up against for an offense. Chicago Bears The Bears get Lance Briggs back, after his proclomation that he will never play for them again. Real good chemistry there. They lose thug DT Tank Johnson for his gun charges and that leaves a big hole in the DL. They are counting on the ancient Adam Archuleta as their answer at safety. Plus, they still think Rex Grossman is their answer at QB. Meanwhile, the Packers draft picks are playing fantastically, the OL is blocking very well and the LB and secondary have made marked improvements. So far, things are looking great. Thursday, July 26, 2007Time to talk Packers (finally)!
It's been a real boring summer for football news, and as well it should be. The Packers moved along with mini-camps and coaches and the GM talking up players and such. We are finally within 2 days of training camp so there is something to actually discuss.
The biggest news is that RB Brandon Jackson has finally signed and will be reporting to camp on time. This is a huge win for the Packers, and Jackson. RB's who hold out from camp come in behind the curve and just never seem to catch up, so it's almost a wasted season. Jackson can come in from the start and learn the system. We still have to get DT Justin Harrell and WR James Jones signed, but I think they will both be finished up fairly soon. The Steelers signed their pick (#15 overall) to a deal already, so the market is set for Harrell, it's just details at this point. Jones is admitedly a project, so I wasn't expecting much from him this year anyways. Let's take a look at the roster to see what we should be looking for in camp: Offense With Favre returning, we are set at QB. I've heard all the negative talk about how he's fading and blah blah blah. But he's still the best QB in the division, so suck on that you fans of the rest of the NFC North. The running game is going to be the biggest key this year. The OL all returns with Clifton reportedly in the best shape he's been in since Sapp cheap-shotted him several years ago. With a year of the zone blocking system under their belts and Colledge, Spitz, Wells and Moll all taking part in the offseason lifting program in Green Bay this offseason, look for the blocking to improve quite a bit. Last year we saw some flashes of what they can do, just need those to increase and be more consistent this season. The running back duo of Morency and Jackson should provide a surprising 1-2 punch. While both have questions around them that neither can be a featured back, but there is no expectations of that. It's a RB-by-committee approach, so they should see equal time with McCarthy going with whomever is hot that day. The offensive line needs to improve it's pass blocking from last season, and they should. Last year there were games with 3 rookie OL in and the Packers had to use a max protect package far too often. It limited the passing game as only 2-3 receivers could go out at any given time. Easy defense for most teams (except the Vikes, they sucked at pass coverage). Again, given the former rookies now have that year under their belts and a solid offseason, they need to step it up. The wide receivers are an uninspiring bunch after superstud Donald Driver and surprise 2nd yr man Greg Jennings. Jennings needs to build on his spectactular first half of his rookie season and be more consistant. As for the rest of the WR corps, it's a crapshoot. Jones, as I mentioned earlier, is a project and not really counted on for big things. Ferguson is a waste of a uniform, and the rest of the group hasn't really shown anything. Need to have someone step up their game and show they belong. Defense With the drafting of DT Justin Harrell, the Packers have one of the better DL in the NFC. After Kris Jenkins was moved to DE, the line overall excelled in stopping the run, being one of the best units in this category over the last 4 games last year. Harrell will add even more interior run-stopping ability and give us unprecidented quality depth at that position. Uber-DE Aaron Kampman should see a similar season this year as his 15.5 sack season last year. Definately the strength of the team is the front 4 (or 8 in our case) The linebackers are an interesting group. MLB Nick Barnett is underappreciated in Packer circles with many gleefully pointing out his faults. He's been in 4 different schemes in 4 seasons, and he has thrived. Now he gets the same scheme for the first time in consecutive seasons so he should only be better and start turning into the playmaker we need him to be. AJ Hawk. He lived up to the billing last year and should be even better this year. Brady Poppinga is the interesting case study here. He's fast and has that "never ending motor", he certainly has the physical ability to play at a high level, but injuries have kept him from getting there. The constant theme with all of these guys is their less than stellar pass coverage. This is a definate area that needs to be addressed in camp. Speaking of pass coverage, how about that elite duo of CBs Al Harris and Charles Woodson? These guys define shutdown and the team looks for them to help lead the defense. The nickle back position is a bit sketchy, but the Packers have several promising young CBs in Walker and Blackmon who look to fill this spot. The safties, *sigh*, are another story. After a brilliant rookie season, Nick Collins regressed last year. One argument for that was he had to make up for the absolute piss-poor play of Marquand Manuel. To say Manuel sucked is an insult to hookers everywhere. Many Packer fans hope that Marviel Underwood, who was outstanding last camp and preseason before being lost to injury, steps up as the starter. I am simply hoping that Manuel goes from terrible to average. That would be a big improvement. The safety position absolutely needs to improve this season or we'll be seeing a lot of the big pass plays being given up again. Special teams The punt and kick return units were dreadful last year and need to improve big-time this year. We were one of (if not the) worst kick return units last year. The young WRs need to step up in camp and show they have some return ability. The draft this year was geared towards getting players who were special teams standouts so let's see if that translates to better kick returns and coverages. I fully believe that P John Ryan and K Dave Rayner will still be our starters. Both are young guys who will only get better and both have loads of potential. There's my pre-camp thoughts on the team. We have a lot of question marks, but certainly we have some solid bases to build around. Let's hope for no major injuries and that Harrell and Jones sign soon. Go Pack! Sunday, July 22, 2007Back from vacation
Hi all,
Haven't posted in a while as I've been on vacation in South Dakota with the wife and kids. While the drive out there really isn't all that interesting (I mean it is really, really boring), once you get to the Badlands and Black Hills, it is completely worth it. The Badlands was awesome. I haven't been out here since I was 2, so it truly was like seeing it for the first time. Just breathtaking scenery and awe-inspiring. You feel like you are on a different planet. My kids really loved climbing around the rocks and getting "lost". We also saw a rattlesnake there, which was cool. Definately the cutest thing we saw all trip were the prairie dogs. The kids absolutely loved them and wanted us to stop and pull over everytime we passed by one of the prairie dog towns. These towns were huge! Some of them were the size of about 10-12 football fields big. To think that these tunnels are all interconnected and that the prairie dogs know them all is amazing. Next up was the infamous Wall Drug. You've seen the signs on the road "1365 miles to Wall Drug" out in the middle of Arizona, Texas, WV or wherever. I know I've seen bumper stickers for it on cars in Nashville. Well, it certainly was an interesting stop. We got the free ice water and the insanely good donuts. We didn't stay too long as, well, it's a store and restaurant when you get down to it. A really big and fairly interesting one. We then spent a couple of days tenting in Custer State Park. That place is outstanding. The kids got to pan for gold, go swimming in really clear lakes (we're talking almost Boundry Waters clear), and we all went to what was my favorite part of the trip: Mount Rushmore. I've always been impressed with this monument and the story behind it. The sculptor who started it, Gutzon Borglum had 9 different versions of the monument in mind and constantly changed his vision as the work unfolded depending on how the rock in the mountain was. He never saw it finished as he died just prior to the completion. I took this picture moments before a hail storm hitting us here. Yep, we get there and 10 minutes later a hail storm hits with hail coming down about 1/2 inch in diameter. It was really cool and the kids absolutely loved it. They kept running out in it (along with several other kids there) to get the larger hailstones. Needless to say, we had to buy some souvenier t-shirts for them to wear. The park is full of animals, while we were there the park had approximately 950 elk, 950 big horned sheep, 1000 prongers and 1000 buffalo. The buffalo were what the kids were most looking forward to on the trip. One evening we drove on the Wildlife Trail Loop and encountered a herd of about 150 buffalo next to and in the road, they were majestic. Buffalo of all different ages were about and the one in the picture was one of the biggest ones. He came right next to our van and I could have reached out and petted him he was so close. But, given that I don't believe in possibly provoking a 1 1/2 ton animal, I kept the window closed as he came by. One night we drove up to a fire watch outpost on a 6000 foot hill (or would that make it a mountain?). The gravel road going up was just wide enough for 2 cars to pass by each other, and the top had just breathtaking views. It seemed as though you could see for over 100 miles. We got there just prior to sunset and the views just got better. Later on in the trip, Adam got to dig at the Mammoth site in Hot Springs which was a very cool place. The building for the site surrounds the entire dig, so there's no slaving under the hot sun. Sweet! We also visited the Mitchell Corn Palace which frankly was disappointing. The inside is just a meeting hall and a gym. Pfft, a bit overrated if you ask me. Overall it was a fantastic trip and one that we likely will do again with the kids someday. Friday, June 29, 2007With the #6 pick in the NBA draft, the Bucks select...
In one of the more surprising moves in the Bucks and NBA history, the Bucks took Chinese PF/C Yi Jianlian (pronounced EE TEE-an-LEE-an). Now, it has come out that Yi's agent (Dan Fegan) came right out and told the Bucks prior to the draft that Yi would not play in Milwaukee. They were so serious about this that they barred the Bucks from coming to any workouts Yi had in the states and would not allow him to have an individual workout with them. Bucks GM Lenny Harris saw 2 things: 1 - Yi is a big time talent that could really help the Bucks. 2 - The Bucks would have an "in" into China's marketing base, population 1.5 billion. Can you say "Cha-Ching"? Harris decided that the team needed him and the Bucks could not pass up this opportunity. Now the rumor is that Fegan is going to formally request that the Bucks trade Yi. To this I agree with how Ty over at Bucks Diary feels: If I were Larry Harris I would absolutely and categorically refuse such a request on the spot. Harris was right to defy their original efforts to avoid a selection by the Bucks, and having done that, it is imperative now that he sticks to his guns. Giving in to the ridiculous demand at this point would do nothing but harm the Bucks and set a dangerous precedent that, once established, would damage the future interests of small market teams like Milwaukee. Harris' message to Yi's representatives should be direct and simple: If Yi wants to play in the NBA, he must do so in Milwaukee. End of discussion. The sooner he gets that through his skull, the better for him. A protracted holdout, or a return to China, would be a seriously foolish move, as it would only serve to hurt his pocketbook and his marketability. It would cost him NBA paychecks he can never recover, and it would damage his public reputation and squander away the precious goodwill his representatives hope to cash in on through their various endorsement schemes. He has no rational choice but to play for the Bucks. Sorry Yi, you enter the draft and take your chances on where you are picked. That's the nature of all sports in the US and you have to live with it. Now, after you're done with your Chinese team duties in Vegas and such, get your ass to Milwaukee and see for yourself how it is. You may want to stop by Summerfest. That will change your trade demands real quick. Thursday, June 28, 2007A moment of silence
In case you have not heard, the founder of Johnsonville Brats, Ralph Stayer, has passed on. From the AP article:
Stayer's butcher shop was struggling in 1945, when he went to a picnic and saw garbage cans filled with partially eaten brats. He and his wife drew upon their Austrian and Slovenian heritage to make better-tasting bratwurst based on an old family recipe, his son said. Stayer once said he knew the company was doing something right when a customer who had previously ordered 5 pounds of bratwurst and 30 pounds of hamburger returned six months later and ordered 30 pounds of bratwurst and 5 pounds of hamburger. For centuries, mankind has yearned for that perfect food, that ambrosia to make their life worthwhile. Ancient Sumerians went on discovery treks for months on end to locate it, Rome tried to conquer the known world in search of it, Columbus dared sail to the edge of the world to find it. Ralph Stayer discovered it, and the world would never be the same. Now the masses had the perfect food and world peace was that much closer to reality. Summertime picnics have become that much more enjoyable as friends and family come together knowing that with Johnsonville brats, the outing will be a joyous one. Professional sports attendence has gone up by over 100,000% since Johnsonville brats came out as tailgating has become the national pastime. What a debt we owe to Mr. Stayer, and to show how much we appreciate his creation and to honor his legacy, we should all grill some of his delicious creations. So raise your Johnsonville brats in a toast to Ralph Stayer all you cheeseheads and say thanks to our hero. |

It's possible if you label them and add an entry for that label in /etc/fstab. I do that on my RHEL/CentOS system and it works just fine. I presume that you mean for it to mount to the same mount point, such as /mnt/usb-drv-1 or /media/my-usb-1 - something like that?
Also, even if you don't put an entry in /etc/fstab, but label the drive, then it will still auto-mount to the same location as /media/label where "label" is the label you gave the drive.Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
Just remember, Semper Gumbi - always be flexible!

By Brian Mockenhaupt
Photograph by Christopher Griffith
My brother was a tank mechanic. He joined after me. I told him not to join, but if he did, to make sure he got Fort Hood so we could be together. But we were only together for a little while because I went to Iraq the first time. We're twins. We know each other's likes and dislikes. He didn't like it.
The Army is a good thing. It's for some people; it's not for some people. It wasn't for me. I wanted to get out after my first year. I was in the military police. I didn't like arresting people, didn't like giving people tickets, so I didn't. We pulled over fourteen people one night, didn't write one ticket.
Right before I went into basic training, I dyed my hair white with green tips. I left the day after September 11. I was supposed to leave on September 11, but they didn't let us. The next morning we had to get on a bus; they wouldn't even fly us.
When I rolled over the line from Kuwait to Iraq the first time, and those people were cheering and screaming, that's when I knew we need to help these people. Whether I agree with being there or not, I don't know, but if we pulled out now it would make me raise the questions, Okay, so all those guys who lost their lives and lost limbs, was it for a reason? Did we change anything? Was it worth it? If it is, then great, pull out. If it isn't, then they all just died in vain. I don't know. I can't be the one to sit there looking at the overview and say he lost his life for no good reason.
I think the only time I would agree with war is if there's a childish country that wants to do something really, really stupid and won't listen to anybody. Then it might be worth it.
Even when I was home after the first time, I didn't watch the news. I didn't want to know. You know it's bad over there. You know what's happening. I don't need to sit there and watch TV to be depressed. I watch TV to laugh or be intrigued. I think the news is depressing, so I don't watch it. It's not that I don't care about everybody over there — I do.
Iraqi police officers have come a long way since I was there last. We couldn't get them to come to work. And when they did, they would come for two hours and leave. When we would ask them to patrol us, they'd do it for twenty minutes, then leave. "We've gotta go eat" or "We've gotta go home." Now they stay at work all day. They're patrolling. They're almost self-sustaining. Almost. If we did leave and pull out, they'd at least have an idea of what they need to do.
I was in a police station one day, sitting at the top of the stairs. There were three Iraqi cops downstairs standing around a desk. I saw this guy walk in and didn't think anything of it. He walks up to them, says, "Allah akbar," and presses the button. He had a vest on under his long robe, but it didn't go off. Those three cops just started beating the shit out of him. Almost killed him. You should have seen his face when they were done. You couldn't tell it was the same guy who walked into the police station.
I wasn't scared the first time. But the second time, after the first three weeks, then we were all scared. Not scared like shivering-in-your-boots scared, but there was always the tickle in your throat that you knew you were in real danger, that it was just luck. At any moment, anything could happen. We were lucky for ten months. We knew we would get hit. It was always a question of how bad it would be. I never thought it would be this bad.
Whenever I travel and I'm not wearing my legs, they say, "Would you like an aisle chair?" And that's one of those small chairs where they drag you down the aisle and put you in straps like you're Hannibal Lecter. I'd always say, Don't strap me, don't strap me. But they would anyway. So now I just get down and hop to my seat. If I have to go to the bathroom, I'll hop down, open the door, and lift myself up onto the seat.
Some people don't even say, Hey, were you in the war? They just come up and say thank you. I'm sure once I get older, people won't say that. Once the war's over, people won't even think twice about it. They'll just think I have diabetes.
Did it hurt? I'm sure it did, but I didn't really feel it, except for the burning. They say pain is your friend because you know you're still alive. If you can feel it, it's not that bad. If you don't feel it, that's when it's bad.
With all the people that I've met, to be able to see how nice people really are, it's almost worth it. And if I could help anybody, inspire anybody, one person would make it worth it.
I'm being built a house by the Wounded Heroes Foundation. They've already donated me a van. This thing comes off the side of the steering wheel: down for gas, push for brake. Simple as that. I lock my prosthetic onto it and that's it. Now they're going to donate me a house. I told this girl, So you're going to build me this house, can I have some things I want? She said, Like what? Well, I want a basement with a bar. That's going to be like my entertainment area. She said, Yeah, and we'll put an elevator in for you, too. Really? Cool.
Everything that has happened to me since I've been hurt has happened to me because I've been hurt. I got to go to the Pentagon. There's this quarter-mile-long hallway that is just filled with people, and I mean filled with people. There's a little space to go through and everyone is clapping and crying and coming up and hugging you. Okay, that's great. But what about all the people who did the same exact thing that I did that didn't get hurt? They should get the same recognition we do. We all did the same thing. Some people just got the shit end of the stick, that's all. It's all luck.
I've been getting tats since I was eighteen. I had nine tattoos. After the explosion, I had six and a half. They cut half of one out and put the skin on my hand. I had one on each leg. I have a tribal piece on my right shoulder, intermixed with a barbed-wire band on my right bicep. I have a chain on my left bicep and a bulldog on my left shoulder. On my left chest I have a purple-and-yellow fireball-type thing, and on my back I have a tribal-type thing. On my right forearm I used to have a black widow, but now it's only half a black widow. On my left inner forearm I have the Chinese symbol for life. Go figure.
I'm the type of person who would put my life in front of somebody else's in a heartbeat. I don't know how I got that way. I have great friends — true friends — and they help me to be a better person. And I help them as much as I can. I would do anything for them. Anything.
I believe in God, but I wasn't brought up on going to church. I'm not going to say your whole life is planned out for you, but I think there are certain things that are supposed to happen to you, and however you handle that defines you. So this happened to me. I'm not like, "God saved my life" or "Why did God do this to me?" God did this to me for a reason, and I'm still alive, so God knew I was going to be alive.
From every decision you make, you learn something, whether it was the right decision or the wrong decision. I believe everything happens to you for a reason, and it's going to happen to you regardless. So whether I was in Iraq fighting or I was walking across the street and got hit by a bus, it was going to happen to me regardless.
I don't regret anything.

This website, mc2 Impact Capital, is a blog by Mark C. Callaway.
After 30 years in the financial services industry — and the last dozen or so focused on investments that can make a social or environmental impact — I decided to formalize my ramblings and share what I continue to learn. I think there might be interest in what I believe will be a fundamental change in the way people choose to invest their money going forward. This blog is purely for discussion and sharing, not for doing business or giving investment advice.
What's largely missing from various blogs, it seems, is thought leadership on the changing trends from Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) investing to the current Social, Responsible and Impact Investing. As an advisor to clients who are interested in reflecting their values in their investment portfolios, I spend a lot of time reading books and doing independent research in this area. And I've seen and am seeing continual evolution.
I believe investors have a choice. They can choose to embrace those organizations that promote the combination of Social Capital + Investment Capital = Impact Capital. I also believe the approach approach of embracing responsible organizations will continue to gather steam and, in fact, be instrumental to the way that all of us can choose to invest. Integrated Reporting, which is the integration of traditional annual reporting on financial performance with reporting on societal and environmental performance, will be mandated in the near future.
My intent is to document these changes as they happen and to continue to do so in the years ahead.
To be clear, mc2 Impact Capital does not offer investment advice or recommend companies or organizations. It is not a business. It is a blog that (hopefully) starts conversations and serves as a valuable resource for those who want to learn about Impact Capital and related topics.
I thank you for stopping by, and I encourage you to click around, comment on posts, send me ideas for other posts — and visit as many of the linked websites, papers and articles in the Resources section as you can. It's good stuff.

Homeless man dies in Ballard Commons Park
Advocates for the homeless will hold a silent vigil Nov. 28 at the King County Municipal Courthouse in memory of Don Farquharson, who was found dead Nov. 17 at Ballard Commons Park, apparently of natural causes.
The Ballard News-Tribune reported that a man named Byron, who was friends with Farquharson for about 30 years, said Farquharson was in his 50s and was Eskimo and Tlingit. Farquharson was from Alaska. He grew up in Juneau and lived in Anchorage before coming to Seattle. Byron said that Farquharson had been sleeping on the sidewalk.
Before he became homeless, Farquharson was a longshoreman. He is survived by one son, DJ, 15 who lives in South Seattle, Byron told the newspaper.
"He was caring, giving and very intellectual," Byron said. "He will be dearly missed."
According to WHEEL, Church of Mary Magdalene and Women in Black, organizers of the vigil, 28 homeless people have died outside or by violence in King County in 2012.

My SO's mom wants to try some roses next spring. So for Christmas, I'm thinking of giving her a gift certificate to one of the better on-line rose vendors. Even so, there are thousands of varieties of roses out there, and I would like to also give her a list of recommendations for the best roses, regular or mini, for the Midwest and Chicagoland. Since she's new to roses and doesn't spray her garden, I'm looking for ones that are hardy, fragrant and disease resistant (and pretty too!). Any input on your favorites rose varieties for the Midwest would be greatly appreciated. Thanks & Happy Holidays. |

I have grown a lot of roses over the years then stopped adding new ones as the older ones died or were shovel pruned due to diseases. A couple years ago I began adding David Austin's English roses to my garden. They are more disease resistant than other roses and so far I have been quite happy with the results. I have Graham Thomas, Heritage and Sharifa Asma. Graham Thomas is not fragrant but very heat tolerant. Heritage and Sharifa Asma are very fragrant. I had not sprayed my garden at all until last summer and the summer before last when we were swamped with cucumber beetles. There were fewer of these beetles on the Austin roses than other roses & plants. I use Neem spray. It seemed to slow down the beetles somewhat. |
Here is a link that might be useful: David Austin Roses
Try Bonica, I have had one for ten years now with absolutely no disease problems and I don't/won't spray. It has pink flowers in abundance and has nice hips in the winter. To me most rose bushes aren't much in the looks department but for their flowers. This one has a very nice habit and would make a nice hedge or specimen. The only drawback is that the blooms aren't very fragrant, but they still look great in a bud vase. Here's a nice picture of the flowers. |
Here is a link that might be useful: bauerphoto
I love my Sunsprite. A beautiful nice yellow rose. Has a good scent, blooms all summer and is very hardy here. I don't spray either and haven't had any blackspot on it, even though I did have a rose next to it that had it. I've had this one for 7 yrs. Kat |
Well if she likes flowers, I would recommend the Fairy line. They are small, but very flower filled, bloom all summer. I have had the pink, am trying the white. Red is supposed to be very pretty. My Fairy grew tremedously over the summer. I kept it trimmed back with snipping branch ends every couple weeks. It grew quickly, did have quite a few thorns. It is a short bush but will spread very wide if not trimmed off. I think it would be very rewarding for a beginner with roses. Didn't seem to have any problems. I am trying another small bush, Cupcake. Pretty little pink flowers, almost no thorns. I just got it this fall, so not any experience with it yet. I will get another if it does well, I love thornless roses. |
I would check out greatlakesroses.com. Great Lakes Roses is in the Ann Arbor area. They don't ship, but if they grow something, it's for our climate. Lots of good info. I went there last June. Heaven must smell like their rose farm. Bought a couple of the park series roses (Yellowstone, etc.) Love 'em. P.S., I'd much rather buy from a local grower. People in the higher zones start buying up roses from the mail order companies in January. By the time we Zone 5ers can buy, what do you think is left? I'd rather support my local nurseries. Besides, it's easier to get them to listen to a complaint if you're standing in front of them. Also, I'd rather choose my own rose, not leave it to someone else. My 2 cents. K. |

Ruby, Rails, and Gems developer tools
Security Resources
Great tools and resources are available to help you write secure Ruby on Rails code. Kurt examines some tools and offers some tips.
I'll admit it: I'm old, and increasingly I find tech trends that surprise me. Ruby on Rails is one of those trends that it seems everyone is using now. A friend gave me a good explanation of why Ruby on Rails has sneaked up on me, despite the fact that it's been around for a decade.
Ruby on Rails is a great prototype system, so it's easy to sell in the sense of "why don't we make a rapid prototype using Rails?" But, of course, once you have a working prototype, you also have something you can sell to customers. So, given a choice between writing a new "real" product or tidying up the prototype and shipping it, people usually pick the second option. Fortunately, Ruby on Rails actually allows for scaling and other production issues, so you can usually get away with this approach.

Spring Into Healthy Eating With Illinois-Grown Veggies
March 28, 2014By admin
Few things are quite as refreshing as the sight of tiny green herbs and vegetable plants popping up from the soil after a long, cold winter. Yes, it's spring, and that means time to hit up your local farmers' market for some fresh produce and head for the kitchen.
Healthy eating becomes much easier with the seasonal availability of fresh spring vegetables. Whether you're having company for dinner or just cooking for the family, this spring menu is sure to please.
Our Risotto with Peas is as tasty as it is healthy, with Arborio rice, green peas, and minced herbs cooked in white wine and tossed in savory butter and fresh-grated Percorino and Romano cheese.
For the main course, try our Orange and Horseradish-Crusted Pork Tenderloin. Horseradish is easy to find in Southern Illinois – the region is said to produce 85 percent of the world's horseradish, and the city of Collinsville proudly calls itself the Horseradish Capital of the World. In this dish, pork tenderloin is rolled in breadcrumbs, spices, and horseradish before being roasted to perfection and topped with a tangy, sweet orange marmalade sauce.
Roasted Asparagus complements this meal wonderfully and couldn't be easier to prepare. Asparagus spears are simply coated with olive oil, salted, roasted until tender and drizzled with lemon juice. Enjoy!

We love Hobo Soup, a tradition in my family since childhood. In the summer we invite guests and tell them to bring a can of food along with them.
We use a dutch oven over an open fire and have started a base with a variety of items but chicken base seems to be a favorite. When each guest has arrived they open their can and add it to the pot. In the end, although never the same, it has always been delicious.

"Discipline and limiting ourselves to the most important points at first were thus the top priorities for everyone involved." SYNERGY and Hassia first set out to compile the functional specifications, encompassing the most important requirements for the CRM system. Customer support, listing control and promotion management were at the top of the wish list. After this, all potential providers were reviewed.

A number of protocols for working with Indigenous communities and Indigenous culture and heritage have been developed. The protocols provide a best practice model for artists.
It is important to be aware that Indigenous protocols cannot answer all the questions you may be faced with, as every Indigenous community, organisation and individual is different. However, Indigenous protocols are an excellent resource as they provide:
- a starting point for solving problems,
- a set of guidelines and principles to help you think about a project or the nature of collaboration,
- questions to ask the Indigenous participants, and
- legal and non-legal issues to be considered.
There are a number of different types of Indigenous protocols:
- Protocols for artists and those working with them
- Protocols for arts dealers
- Protocols and information for consumers
- Protocols for cultural institutions
- Protocols for the media
- Protocols for language projects
Protocols for artists and those working with them
Australia Council for the Arts - Indigenous protocol guides
The Australia Council for the Arts published a set of Indigenous protocol guides in 2002, written by Indigenous lawyers Robynne Quiggin and Terri Janke. Those protocols provide information and advice on respecting Indigenous culture and heritage.
There are five sets of protocols specific to the following Indigenous art forms:
Arts Tasmania - Respecting Cultures, Working with the Tasmanian Aboriginal Community and Aboriginal Artists
This publication provides a specific Tasmanian perspective as a companion text for the Australia Council's protocols. Respecting Cultures promotes greater awareness of the protocols needed to ensure that Aboriginal artists are acknowledged and their intellectual property and culture is respected and protected.
National Association for the Visual Arts – Valuing Art, Respecting Culture: Protocols for Working With the Australian Indigenous Visual Arts and Craft Sector
This document sets out protocols both to guide non-Indigenous people in their relationships with Indigenous artists and communities, and assist Indigenous artists to define their rights.
Protocols for arts dealers
Indigenous Australian Art Commercial Code of Conduct (IAACCC)
The IAACCC is a voluntary code to regulate the conduct of participants in the Indigenous art industry. Its main aims are to ensure fair and ethical trade with artists, transparency with the promotion and sale of artwork as well as a fair and equitable dispute resolution system for disputes arising under the code. The Indigenous Art Code Limited, a public company, was founded to administer the IAACCC.
City of Melbourne - Code of Practice for Galleries and Retailers of Indigenous Art
The City of Melbourne has developed a code of practice for galleries and retailers of Indigenous art. The code is a guide outlining ethical and appropriate ways to display and sell authentic Indigenous art and work with Indigenous artists.
Protocols and information for consumers
National Indigenous Consumer Strategy - Taking Action, Gaining Trust: National Indigenous Consumer Strategy – Action Plan 2010-2013
The National Indigenous Consumer Strategy (NICS) was developed by the Standing Committee of Officials of Consumer Affairs (SCOCA), who represents all the Commonwealth, State and Territory government consumer protection agencies. The NCIS aims at improving the consumer outcomes of Indigenous Australians by encouraging consumer protection agencies to share information and education materials, collaborating in the enforcement of consumer rights and laws, and co-ordinating research, policy development and consumer education initiatives. The NCIS was originally created in 2005 as a three year strategy. However an updated action plan for 2010-2013 has recently been developed.
Australian Government, Department of Environment and Heritage – Welcome to Country: Respecting Indigenous Culture for Travellers in Australia
This information brochure is aimed at providing travellers in Australia with some key protocols to follow in order to ensure respect for Indigenous culture. It is framed around three main principles:
- Relationship – Recognise Indigenous people's relationship and connection to the land.
- Responsibility – Acknowledge the ongoing responsibility Indigenous people have to their country, and recognise your own responsibility to travel thoughtfully.
- Respect – Respect Aboriginal beliefs associated with country and culture. As a visitor, respect the wishes of your hosts and and restrictions that you have been asked to observe.
Protocols for cultural institutions
Museums Australia Inc (Qld) – Taking the Time
These resource guidelines are aimed at assisting cultural institutions in developing links with the broader community. They are intended to be used to support non-Indigenous cultural heritage workers in small museums throughout Australia who wish to work with culturally diverse communities, including Indigenous communities.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Library and Information Resources Network (ATSILIRN) – Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Protocols for Libraries, Archives and Information Services
The ATSILIRN Protocols are intended to guide libraries, archives and information services in appropriate ways to interact with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the communities which the organisations serve, and to handle materials with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander content.
They are a guide to good practice which will need to be interpreted and applied in the context of each organisation's mission, collections and client community.
Intellectual Property Research Institute of Australia (IPRIA) - Cultural Institutions, Law and Indigenous Knowledge: A Legal Primer on the Management of Australian Indigenous Collections
This document examines some of the legal issues which arise for cultural institutions and other bodies in the acquisition, use and reproduction of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural material. The term 'cultural material' is used broadly to refer to collection items that reproduce, record or depict Indigenous people, cultures, knowledge and experiences; in some cases, this is highly sensitive of restricted information. It includes artistic outputs and archival research material.
Australian Institute for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS) - Guide for Ethical Research in Indigenous Studies
The AIATSIS guidelines provide recommendations and suggestions for achieving the best standards of ethical research in Indigenous studies. The document is laid out with a series of principles, which are accompanied by a brief definition and some practical applications.
Australian National Maritime Museum (ANMM) - Connections: Indigenous Cultures and the Australian National Maritime Museum
The ANMM's Indigenous protocols provide guidance on Indigenous issues that can impact on museum programs and procedures. It aims to help the ANMM and other institutions interpret Indigenous cultures authentically and respectfully.
Museums Australia – Continuing Cultures, Ongoing Responsibilities: principles and guidelines for Australian Museums working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural heritage.
The Continuing Cultures, Ongoing Responsibilities document is intended to guide museums and galleries in framing their own procedures for dealing with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the management of their cultural heritage.
Collections Australia – Ask First: a guide to respecting Indigenous heritage places and values
The Collections Australia guide provides a practical tool for land developers, land users and managers, cultural heritage professionals and many others who may have an impact on Indigenous heritage. This title – 'Ask First' is intended to highlight the guides focus on consultation and negotiation with Indigenous stakeholders as being key to addressing heritage issues.
Protocols for the media
Screen Australia (Terri Janke) – Pathways and Protocols: A filmmaker's guide to working with Indigenous people, culture and concepts
Screen Australia's guide provides comprehensive information for all filmmakers working with Indigenous content and communities, providing advice about the ethical and legal issues involved when transferring Indigenous cultural material to the screen. The guide includes information on documentary and drama productions, including short dramas, feature films and television drama. Drawing upon real case studies as practical examples, the guide assists and encourages recognition and respect for the images, knowledge and stories of Indigenous people.
Protocols for language projects
Federation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders Languages and Culture (FATSILC)
This protocol is for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and their consultants working together to produce language materials, for example linguists, schools and ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) specialists. The FATSIL guide covers protocols for producing language materials at a local level, rather than through one of the major publishing houses.
The aim of this protocol is to encourage positive working relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and their consultants. Any language materials produced should recognise the cultural and intellectual property rights of the language community. The FATSIL protocol accompanies, and should be read in conjunction with, the model language agreement prepared by the Arts Law Centre of Australia

The Governance Council (GGC) is in charge of overseeing the proper functioning of the Mazars organisation. This Council reviews the Governance Council activity, and is the decision makers with regards to new members (partners, firms …) joining the Group, and reports back to all partners within the partnership prior to casting their votes.
It counts between 8 and 16 members, elected every three years by the Partners, gathered for the General Meeting. Their mandate runs parallel to that of the members of the GEB.
The Group wants to be on the cutting edge of governance practices. Since december 2011, Mazars has appointed two independent and non-executive members to its Supervisory Board: Denise Fletcher and François de Carbonnel.
- Patrick de Cambourg (France), Chairman
- Douglas A. Phillips (USA), Vice-Chairman
- Kenneth Morrison (Hong Kong), Vice-Chairman
- Thierry Blanchetier (France)
- Kathryn Byrne (USA)
- Simone Del Bianco (Italy)
- François de Carbonnel (France)
- Anita de Casparis (Netherlands)
- Ali Elaouani (Tunisia)
- Denise K. Fletcher (USA)
- Patrice de Folleville (Germany)
- Tim Hudson (United Kingdom)
- Kathleen Robison (South Africa)
- Jean-Louis Simon (France)
Its structure reflects Mazars geographical expansion and their elections represent a legitimacy of partners as a whole.
We see the Governance Council as a key actor for the dialogue with the Group Executive Board, within the framework of a constructive and dynamic exchange. We will be heavily involved in all the major projects affecting the life of our partnership.

Criterion Files #275: Godard Fights Cinematic Imperialism with 'Tout Va Bien'
Criterion Files By Landon Palmer on June 1, 2011 | Be the First To CommentMuch of Jean-Luc Godard's cinematic output is inaccessible to American audiences. His most prolific period, the 1960s (in which he made 18 feature films) is almost entirely available, due in no small part to the Criterion Collection's well-justified infatuation with the cineaste's important and influential work. The output of much of his later career, however, isn't commercially accessible in the US including much-lauded work like Nouvelle Vague (1990) and the Histoire(s) du Cinema entries (1988-98). In fact, Tout va Bien (1972 – his most recent title included in the Collection) is to my knowledge the only film he made in the 1970s that's available on Region 1 DVD. This is all to say that here in the US, what we know of Godard we know mostly the first decade of his career. While it's unfortunate that cinephiles have minimal access to his later work, this complaint is not meant to undervalue the importance of the work he did in the 1960s. Godard made an unbelievable amount of brilliant and challenging work in an astoundingly short amount of time, and by 1970 he had emerged as a different kind of filmmaker altogether. Godard's 1960s work is, in a sense, the only logical starting point in order to approach an understanding of this later work. Godard's films are an ongoing exercise in personal growth, aesthetic experimentation, and political criticism. Each work builds off of what came before. With this weekend's US release of Godard's most recent work, Film Socialisme, the gaps in […]

Bill Nye proves he's still got his groove at Boulder Theater climate change lecture
Looking to the planets can give us tremendous insight about our future on Earth, climate scientists said last night at the Boulder Theater's "Climate Change on Earth and Other Planets." A bow tie-clad Bill Nye the Science Guy led the panel of four distinguished scientists with a keynote speech, hooking the already lively crowd with the same genuine charm and humor he brought to his self-titled TV show in the mid-'90s.
Nye's show catered to a group of individuals we might now call the climate generation. Earth's human population hit seven billion last October (that number has more than doubled in the lifetimes of many earthlings), which created a rude awakening for those who weren't already aware of the expanding population's inevitable impact on this planet, its atmosphere and its climate.
The evening's series of short lectures on climate change was part of the Lunar and Planetary Institute's four-day Comparative Climatology of Terrestrial Planets meeting in Boulder, and whether drawn to the science or the Science Guy himself, people packed the Boulder Theater last night to "share in the joy of discovery," as Nye put it.
"We didn't know if anyone would be here," said David Grinspoon, panelist and Curator of Astrobiology at the Denver Museum of Nature, adding that it was great to see so much interest in "stuff that we [scientists] obsess about."
In his lecture, Grinspoon raised large-scale questions about sustaining life on Earth far beyond the scope of our lifetimes, pondering topics like the prevention of future ice ages and how we'll deal with the sun as it nears its expiration date.
Other panelists explored topics ranging from acid rain to terraforming Mars, all within the theme of climate change on Earth and other planets. A wildfire that began in Boulder County yesterday brought a local flare to James Hansen's lecture on "The Venus Syndrome," as he touched on how temperature anomalies are causing wildfires to be more frequent, more destructive, and to burn hotter. "The smoke in the room just adds another dimension," Nye said, referring to the campfire smell that permeated the building from the recently ignited Flagstaff fire.
