Activities Closures.Since the economic recessions of the last few years, contributors who previously volunteered money to allow this website to operate now must use their resources elsewhere. Therefore, with regret, we inform you: Most Joseph Bucklin Society activities have been suspended, until donations of time and money allow reactivation.
It costs us $3,600 a year in contributions income for full activities on the websites and responding to questions. Use this link for more about which activities now are limited or suspended. |
The Joseph Bucklin Society is dedicated to historical research and the dissemination of educational material. The Society is not connected with any denomination or political group. We are here to preserve find and preserve important American, Gaspee, and Bucklin history from loss.
We are an American history organization, and this site is basically an history website, devoted especially to Colonial history and Revolutionary War era history, and the Bucklins in that period of time. This society was named in honor of Joseph Bucklin V. Both he and also the other Bucklin family lines are a notable part of early American history. The Bucklins of New England are good examples of the English people who came to New England, and of what, why, and how they lived and worked creating what became the United States. That's one of the reasons we have detailed Bucklin family information on this website.
In short, these web pages are where you find history of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and the Rhode Island and Providence Plantations Colony, in the period 1600--- 1800, with particular reference to the history and aftermath of the Gaspee Affair, and of New England Bucklin families and settlements and their movements across the country.

Best of Martin's Photo Blog 2012
As the artists on Cherrytree will tell you, I'm seldom without my trusty camera. I took a lot of photos this year and it was hard picking "the best," but below is my attempt. Captions are under each photo. For the first time, I'm also going to put together an audio companion to "The Best of Martin's Photo Blog 2012" so listen for it on Dec 31st 2012 and Jan 1st 2013 on www.CherrytreeRadio.com. :-)
Jan 2012 - On the set of LMFAO's "Sorry for Party Rocking," I snapped this photo inside the Party Rock house that was built on the Universal lot in Hollywood, CA especially for this video shoot. You can spot Redfoo, Q, Shufflebot, Nate & Party Mike among other members of the Party Rock Crew in this pic. See the "Sorry for Party Rocking" video here.
The Cherrytree crew went to Indianapolis in Feb 2012 to watch LMFAO perform with Madonna at the Super Bowl half-time. This is an American institution people! I took this photo of Redfoo on our way into the stadium before the momentous event. Watch the half-time performance here.
I captured this shot of the ever-fresh Robyn on a little shopping jaunt through Venice, CA in early Feb 2012. I don't think she ended up getting the hat but she rocked it with panache for this photo.
Pictured from left to right: Kev Nish of Far East Movement, me, Redfoo & Prohgress of FM. Man, this day was fun! This photo was taken in early March in Amsterdam on the video shoot for "Live My Life" by Far East Movement which featured FM's Cherrytree label-mate Redfoo dancing on top of a double-decker bus. It was a school holiday in Holland so the set was bustling with kids asking for autographs and taking photos. It was a cold day but that didn't stop anybody from having a blast. Watch the "Live My Life" video here.
I captured this live-action photo of Matthew Koma in March 2012 performing on the Cherrytree Pop Alternative Tour of Europe which starred Redfoo & The Party Rock Crew, Far East Movement and Matthew Koma. It lasted for 6 weeks and visited several countries in Europe playing to over 10,000 people per venue at times. Listen to Matthew Koma's song "She"here.
April was Coachella time and in addition to watching captivating performances by Cherrytree artists Nero & Feist, I caught this sweltering DJ set from Fernando Garibay and snapped this photo.
Lots of work is done by Cherrytree recording artists at Hot Rocks Studios where I took this shot of Colette Carr in June 2012. She was putting together the beginnings of her multi-installment "Skitzo" album release. You can order "Skitszo" here and watch Colette's video for "F16" (from "Skitszo" Part 1) here. Cherrytree Cola is always flowing at Hot Rocks and you can find out where to get it in your neck of the woods here.
July 2012 - Taken on the set of the "Turn Up the Love" video. Pictured from left to right are Far East Movement members DJ Virman, J-Splif, Kev Nish and Prohgress. For the video, the group recreated a quintessential Los Angeles swap meet with slightly altered booths that included Virman's Shoe Emporium, aka. "Hood Locker." Watch the popular video here which features label-mates Cover Drive.
In Aug 2012, I traveled to Chicago to see Cherrytree recording artists Michael Kiwanuka and Nero perform at Lollapalooza. It was a magical festival despite getting rain-delayed for a few hours on one of the days. Nero played in front of over 15,000 people and I snapped this photo from the side of the stage.
I was very excited to be in this room and get a chance to take this photo. Sting and Cherrytree label-mate Michael Kiwanuka met in Sep 2012 while Sting was recording in NYC. They talked guitars and even traded licks on Sting's Martin acoustic. File this under "I love my job." Watch Michael Kiwanuka's "Tell Me a Tale" video here.
In Oct 2012, I went back to NYC where Arjan Writes hosted a special event for HP at which Far East Movement performed an exclusive show. There, I got to see FM play "Little Bird" - the song I produced for them on their album Dirty Bass - live for the first time. It's the first time Cherrytree label-mate Feist has ever approved a sample of one of her songs (Caught a Long Wind from Feist's Metals album). The photo above is a candid dressing room shot I took of FM's J-Splif, Prohgress & Kev Nish having a laugh. It's how these guys are most of the time and it's a pleasure to be around their joy and positivity - it's contagious. Watch Far East Movement's "Little Bird" video here and get a glimpse into the group's more emotional side.
In Dec 2012, Ellie Goulding played a rousing set at Gibson Amphitheater during KIIS-FM's Jingle Ball. The performance culminated a big year for Ellie in which she saw her single "Lights" go to no. 1 on the US Top 40 radio chart and also become Billboard's no. 1 Pop song of 2012. That made two in a row for Cherrytree since LMFAO garnered the same honor in 2011 for "Party Rock Anthem." This shot was taken back stage just after the show. Watch Ellie's "Anything Could Happen" video here.
London-based New Zealand transplant and hip hop-rockabilly producer/musician wunderkind Willy Moon stopped by The Cherrytree House to play my Gibson SJ-200 and sample a little Cherrytree Cola. I captured him here in mid-sip. The visit was part of Willy's first trip to the US in support of his Cherrytree EP release Willy Moon. He was met with enthusiastic crowds in NYC, LA and San Francisco. His song "Yeah, Yeah" (included in the EP) is featured in the Apple iPop spot. Watch it here.
Jessie Ware's EP comes out on Jan 15, 2013. At the tail end of 2012, she came to the US to play shows in NYC and LA. She'll be returning to play more concerts in Jan. I took this photo in Dec 2012 in NYC during her riveting performance at The Box. The mood she sets live is just as intense as the emotions she evokes in her recordings. Check out her video for "Wildest Moments" here and get details on her upcoming US dates here.

Treatment for cancer is either local or systemic. Local treatments remove, destroy, or control the cancer cells in one area. When doctors direct it at one part of your body, radiation therapy is an example of local treatment. Doctors use systemic treatments to destroy or control cancer cells throughout your entire body. When you take it by mouth or injection, chemotherapy is an example of systemic treatment. In most cases, treatment for leukemia is systemic. That's because cancer cells are in your bloodstream throughout your body.
You may have just one type of treatment or a combination. Different types of treatment have different goals. Here are some of the types of treatment and their goals for adults who have acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL).
This is the main way to treat ALL. Chemotherapy uses anticancer drugs to kill cancer cells. Its goal is to stop the growth of cancer cells, putting the cancer into remission and keeping it there. Sometimes a doctor injects chemotherapy drugs directly into your spinal fluid or brain to prevent cancer growth, or to reach cancer cells that may hide there. This is called intrathecal chemotherapy or central nervous system (CNS) prophylaxis. You may also have chemotherapy combined with a stem cell transplant. Stem cells restore blood cells lost during high-dose chemotherapy treatment.
This type of therapy uses high-energy X-rays to kill cancer cells. Doctors may use radiation to kill or prevent the spread of cancer in your nervous system. They may also use it right before a stem cell transplant or, in rare cases, to shrink a tumor.
If the normal doses of chemotherapy don't work or your doctor feels you need a stem cell transplant to cure your disease, you may get very high doses of chemotherapy. These high doses can damage the stem cells in your bone marrow. Stem cells are the "starter" cells for all types of blood cells. So you may get high-dose chemotherapy (sometimes along with radiation), followed by an infusion of blood stem cells. Most often these cells come from a donor who matches your tissue type, but in some cases the stem cells may be taken from your blood or bone marrow before you get treatment and frozen until you need them. This is called a bone marrow stem cell transplant or peripheral blood stem cell transplant.
Some newer drugs specifically target abnormal proteins, such as those caused by the Philadelphia chromosome. Drugs such as imatinib (Gleevec) and dasatinib (Sprycel) may be helpful in the treatment of ALL that has this chromosome. These drugs are taken daily as pills.

No. Just south of Cudnocairless.
I think I've been to Strangeheimgrok. Isn't that just East of Ingolfursfell?
Heimdy: All right. I'll alternate nicknames. Before you know it, you'll be strangeheimgrok.
I'm not blaming you personally, flipside. But I'm not sure I grok the lopsidus (tho' id does sound amusing...)
"You know the Republican party is in trouble when they insist on parading Tom DeLay in front of themselves, and the cameras."It's not my fault there were no cameras on:-Margaret Hoover instead of Joe Wurzelbacher-Michael Barone, U.S. News and World Report-Mark Mix, National Right To Work-Mario Lopez, Hispanic Leadership Fund-MSNBC's "Morning" Joe Scarborough-Newt (and Callista) Gingrich's Documentary on Reagan-Tim Mooney, Save Our Secret Ballot-Jim Lakely, (Chicago's) Heartland Institute-Myron Ebell, Competitive Enterprise Institute ---AND----THE FORTY-SEVEN PERCENT OF AMERICAN VOTERS WHO DIDN'T VOTE FOR OBAMA WHETHER THE DEMOCRATS (SUCH AS KATRINA VANDEN HUESEL AND RAHM EMANUEL) LIKE IT OR NOT.Heimdallopsidus: "Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining. I can tell the Goddamn difference!"IT'S ALSO NOT MY FAULT THAT GRAN TORINO WAS SNUBBED BY THE ACADEMY OF MOTION PICTURE ARTS AND SCIENCES' 81st ACADEMY AWARDS.
Sertorius, I think we may be in a situation where the prior policies were maybe a 1-2, and Obama's policies are maybe a 5-6, and no one has proposed anything even close to 8-10. There just isn't that much certainty to be had given the magnitude of the problem and the non-repeatability of economic "experiments".Thus, any vociferousness is more a repudiation of the previous failed policies (e.g., "Tax cuts! Tax cuts! Tax cuts!") than it is a foreknowledge of the outcome of Obama's policies.Let's face it: both sides are big spenders, they just spend on different things. One side wants to help the downtrodden, the other side wants to help the wealthy. One side wants to build domestic infrastructure, the other side likes to start wars and rebuild overseas.Both sides run mighty deficits. One side proposes that we raise revenues/taxes to cover some of the spending. The other side claims that by cutting revenues and pretending that war expenses don't exist we'll get even more revenues to trickle down. The latter policy has been shown to be an abject failure, so folks are willing to try the perceived lesser of the evils. Even if there is no guarantee.Is that easier?
Heimdall, lets make this easier: On a scale of 1 to 10, how likely are Obama's policies to lead to moderate/good economic growth?Obama-supporters here should be thinking somewhere between 8 to 10, otherwise why would you support Obama's policies so much? Why support policies you dont have any confidence in?Do you not see the contradiction between vociferously defending Obama's policies while saying its impossible to know their results?
Sertorius, I can't speak for martin or "lefty commentators". For myself, I'd say that the future is unknown (which undoubtedly keeps life from getting too boring). We can't know for sure what policies will work or not, particularly since we're talking about the Dismal Science and not one of the harder sciences, such as physics or chemistry. There's a lot less predictability. And that goes for policies on both the left and the right.What we can say from a historical perspective is that some of the most recent policies seem to have not worked so well. We cut taxes significantly over the last 8 years, and there was indeed some prosperity. But it didn't "trickle down", it stayed concentrated at the top. Indeed, the poverty rate increased even as our collective prosperity increased. So we can look at that policy and say "Hmn. Doesn't seem to have worked as advertised. Let's try something different."At the same time that we cut taxes, we also started a war that we refused to budget for. And created a brand new entitlement program (i.e., the prescription drug benefit). And these things did not fill our coffers, but increased the rate of depletion. And left us in quite a deep hole. How was it that you characterize such policies? Ah, yes, "borrow and spend", that's it.This hole has evidently caused its creators to find fiscal religion, and has led them to oppose the somewhat less radical ideas of the other party. Less radical in that they look to rebuild domestic infrastructure, include costs of war in the budget, don't count monies that the prior administration pretended would be there but knew wouldn't (i.e., AMT revenues). It also eschews "trickle down" economics in favor of what might be called "trickle up" economics: put money into the hands of the people at the bottom, who effectively have no wealth and no disposable income. It is pretty much guaranteed that this money will find its way into the economy very quickly. To pay for this, the policies of the last administration are rolled back: the folks who garnered the lion's share of the last decade of prosperity -- at the expense of the folks at the bottom -- will be sharing some of those gains with them. Some view this as "punitive" or as "class warfare". To them I would say a couple of things:* The economy grew over the last decade and the poverty level grew as well. The rising tide did NOT lift all boats. Many millions of citizens were "punished" thereby, and punished by the many thousands who garnered that prosperity. This is simply an undoing of that punishment.* The last decade of prosperity could -- by people fond of such metaphors -- be characterized as a "class war". And the very few at the top won that war quite handily. The poor were the losers.In short, while no one knows for sure whether the Obama policies will pull us out of this economic nose dive, following the folks that put us into it seems, well, unwise. Increasing taxes on the wealthiest of citizens didn't seem to kill the economy when Clinton did it in the early 90's. Indeed, the rising tide lifted all boats back then. So perhaps it's time to try those types of policies again.Can Obama's policiesbe "believed in"? There's certainly no guarantee. But they seem less likely to fail than what we've tried recently.To paraphrase a line from "The Outlaw Josey Wales" vis a vis Trickle Down Economics:"Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining. I can tell the Goddamn difference!"Well, the folks at the bottom have learned the difference and elected someone to rectify the situation. Let's hope, for all of our sakes, that it works better than the last guy...
martin horn, of course, but I didn't talk about approval ratings, I talked about the economic situation.Surely you must believe Obama's borrow and spend policies now (and high taxes on high-earners later) will lead to economic prosperity. You voted for these policies, and you defend them and their standard-bearer here. And if you believe Obama's projections of 3.5%, 4% and 4% in the next 3 years then you must believe they lead to HUGE prosperity. If we have huge prosperity from 2010-2012, then, all other things equal, the Democrats will be re-elected in a landslide and the GOP can only lose more, right?You should be fully confident that Obama's economic policies which you support will lead to prosperity. If you aren't certain these policies create prosperity, then why do you support them?martin horn, you and other the lefty commentors and writers have a paradox: You must either believe these policies WILL lead to economic and electoral success, OR if you doubt the success, you must not be confident that the left-wing policies will work at all. And if so why do you support policies you don't really believe in?
You know the Republican party is in trouble when they insist on parading Tom DeLay in front of themselves, and the cameras.
Given his long and continuing series of legal troubles, whenever I see him on tv I do a double take, wondering why he has not yet been placed behind bars. My guess is that I'm not the only voting person with this thought.
Martin: Jeff Flake is a fine congressman from Arizona. I wish him all the best. I cannot say the same for Keith Olbermann (Ben Affleck's worst nightmare).And who, prey tell, is Cynthia McKinney?
Martin, that was my thought, too. What Tom DeLay can't say? The pest control business must be more delicate than I'd thought.
Also, not one person here has argued that President Obama is a shoo-in for re-election. All opinion polls cited to demonstrate Obama's high approval ratings aren't used to say that Obama is going to be popular in 3.5 years when he's up for re-election so Republicans shouldn't even try. The polls are used in order to say Obama's popular right now, which is relevant to his attempts to pass legislation right now. We all know that President H.W. Bush achieved an 88% approval rating in 1991 and was a 1 term President, losing the next year. Ronald Reagan had an approval rating of 42% in 1983 before cruising to ridiculously easy re-election the next year. Approval ratings are snapshots in time, not predictions of the future.
ontheflipside, I was under the impression from the blog post that Tom Delay was the one who said that quote. If Dr. Kors is the one who said that quote, I didn't mean to imply Dr. Kors is tainted with corruption or "disgraced." Also, I agree there's nothing wrong with a healthy bit of individuality in a party. But if Democrats ever picked Cynthia McKinney or Keith Olbermann as their leader or top media spokesman, I know you'd be laughing in disbelief. And that's how I feel when Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh are cheered by CPAC while sincere and competent Republicans like Jeff Flake are more or less ignored.
Economist writers and left-wing commentors, you can all relax. Obama's second term is assured, no matter who the GOP puts up. After all, the President/Miracle-worker has predicted the economy will grow 3.5% next year and 4% in 2010 and 2012.As Obama sayeth, so it shall be done.
Martin: One other note. I'd like to think The Republican party is as inclusive as the Democrat party. I mean, they both have individuality, don't they?Matt: Although it's old, I thought "No Quarter: Jimmy Page & Robert Plant Unledded" was a "raw, intimate, [and] artistic statement."
3:30Alan Charles KorsAmbassador BallroomIntroduction: Mal Kline, Accuracy in MediaI'm not quite sure I'd call Dr. Alan Charles Kors (Ph.D., Harvard) disgraced. In fact, I wish I was in Alexandria, VA to hear the "the things [he] thinks but cannot say." "Alan Charles Kors is an intellectual historian, specializing in French intellectual history of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. He holds the George H. Walker Endowed Term Chair in History at the University of Pennsylvania.[1]"-Wiki
When the appositive phrase used after your name includes the word "disgraced," you have to wonder what exactly are "the things [he] thinks but cannot say," considering DeLay doesn't have much to lose.Republicans will be well on their way out of the wilderness once they stop channeling Tom DeLay and Limbaugh and start listening to Jeff Flake. Based on CPAC's schedule, they're not even close to being there.
From Politico:"the audience exploded in enthusiastic response, just as it did when Cliff Kincaid, the editor of Accuracy in Media, suggested that Obama is not an American citizen."Any chance there's a 'slap us back to reality' segment on the agenda?
Something tells me Sarah Palin Unplugged isn't going to be the same kind of raw, intimate, artistic statement as Nirvana Unplugged, but I could be surprised.

Published by New American Library in June 2012
A child born in the plague year of 1348, abandoned and raised within the oppressive walls of a convent, Alice Perrers refused to take the veil, convinced that a greater destiny awaited her. Ambitious and quick witted, she rose above her obscure beginnings to become the infamous mistress of Edward III. But always, essentially, she was alone...Genre: Historical Fiction
Early in Alice's life, a chance meeting with royalty changes everything: Kindly Queen Philippa, deeply in love with her husband but gravely ill, chooses Alice as a lady-in-waiting. Under the queen's watchful eye, Alice dares to speak her mind. She demands to be taken seriously. She even flirts with the dynamic, much older king. But she is torn when her vibrant spirit captures his interest...and leads her to a betrayal she never intended.
In Edward's private chambers, Alice discovers the pleasures and paradoxes of her position. She is the queen's confidante and the king's lover, yet she can rely only on herself. It is a divided role she was destined to play, and she vows to play it until the bitter end. Even as she is swept up in Edward's lavish and magnificent court, amassing wealth and influence for herself, becoming an enemy of his power-hungry son John of Gaunt, and a sparring partner to resourceful diplomat William de Windsor, she anticipates the day when the political winds will turn against her. For when her detractors voice their hatred,and accusations of treason swirl around her,threatening to destroy everything she has achieved, who will stand by Alice then?
Series: n/a
Anne O'Brien's historical fiction came to my attention last year, when I read and enjoyed The Virgin Widow. I didn't know anything about the historical figures in this novel, but they definitely sounded interesting.
Alice begins her life in a convent. She doesn't know who her parents are, having been abandoned on the convent's doorstep with a small bag of coins. Growing up, she doesn't really suit the quiet life of a nun. She's always getting into trouble and she's determined to get out of the convent. But fate has other plans for her and before she can make her way out, she's called upon to be a maid for a moneylender, a Janyn Perrers. Not long in his house, he makes her his wife. But Janyn is an old man and it's a marriage in name only. But he does give her a wedding gift, a purse of coins. And Janyn's accountant talks Alice into giving him the money so he can buy land in her name. It's either that or Janyn's malicious sister will steal the money. Alice agrees and so a lifelong partnership begins. Janyn dies eventually, and Anne is thrown out onto the street. She returns to the convent but promises herself it's only for a short time.
Soon enough another chance to leave the convent comes her way. Queen Philippa, King Edward's beloved wife, has come to the convent to mourn. And relax - she is wracked with pain. Alice is drawn to the kindly Queen and comes to her aid a few times. The Queen recognizes her and not long after she leaves the convent, she calls for Alice. Alice, a nobody, is made to be one of the Queen's damsels, an honor that makes more than a few people angry.
Alice is very loyal to the Queen. She knows the Queen did her a service by pulling her out of the convent. She's asked the Queen why and eventually the Queen tells her. You see, Edward and the Queen are in love. Yes, their marriage was arranged, but over the years they have formed an extremely strong bond and the King never cheated. But now that Philippa is constantly in pain, she cannot stand to be touched. She still loves the king, but she's told him he is free to take a lover. She handpicked Alice for that role. She would rather the King cheat with someone Philippa can trust with no status rather than a lady who would try to lord her position over everyone. Alice cannot deny being drawn to the King, so it's only a matter of letting herself get caught. The Queen swears Alice to secrecy, no one, not even the King, can know how the Queen arranged the whole thing.
All right then. I enjoyed this book. The beginning, with Alice's life in the convent, was a bit slow, but things pick up when she gets older. I was interested in Alice's life at court, but when she becomes the king's mistress, I found it difficult to read about how everyone villified her. I can understand why they did it, the king is cheating on the queen after all those years of marriage and with a nobody no less. With a nobody the Queen raised up. It was still hard though. Alice was a young woman with no one except for the Queen as an ally and many people turned their backs on her.
But once the Queen gives Alice her approval in a very public way, things soon change and Alice is recognized among the court. She always has an eye to her future so whenever she can, she buys up estates and manors. She never wants to be destitute again. I liked Alice's character. She was ambitious but she wasn't malicious about it. She knew it was an honour to be the king's mistress and if he wanted to give her gifts, she would accept them. She did not bewitch the king or try to manipulate him. The whole thing with the Queen setting them up was oddly...touching? I can't explain it, but I understand why the Queen did it and why she chose Alice. The Queen was a sympathetic character and she loved her husband. The King never strayed before and he felt guilty for what he was doing. But that guilt eventually fell away as his feelings grew for Alice. The only way to put it the whole situation was that it was cozy. Alice remained a Queen's damsel and put her needs first. She never rubbed what she was doing with the King in her face. They were discreet.
Of course a woman in Alice's position is going to make enemies. Among them were the adult children of Philippa and Edward. And one thing about royals, they know how to bide their time and strike when it'll be the most advantageous.
I really enjoyed the King's Concubine and I recommend it for fans of historical fiction. Despite a slow start, the story picks up quickly and you're caught up in Alice's life at court, making a name for herself, loyal to the King and the Queen to the end. A solid read. B

HONG KONG – Residents stockpiled food and ships were ordered to dock Wednesday as southern China braced for a typhoon that has already lashed the northern Philippines amid floods that have killed more than 70 people across Asia.
Typhoon Megi packed winds of 140 miles per hour (225 kilometers per hour) when it struck the Philippines on Monday. Philippine officials reported 20 deaths, including several people who drowned after being pinned by fallen trees. The storm damaged thousands of homes and flooded vast areas of rice and corn fields.
Late Wednesday, Megi was about 350 miles (550 kilometers) southeast of the southern financial hub of Hong Kong and expected to eventually hit the southern Chinese coast, the Hong Kong Observatory said on its website.
The storm's winds have weakened to 110 mph (175 kph), but are expected to build strength over the next two days before losing steam again Saturday, when the typhoon is projected to make landfall in China's Guangdong province, the observatory said.
In Guangdong, officials have ordered all fishing boats back to shore, put the provincial flood control headquarters on alert and warned that reservoirs should be watched, China's official Xinhua News Agency reported. In the southern island province of Hainan, residents rushed to supermarkets to stock up on food, vegetables and bottled water, Xinhua said.
In Hong Kong, the mood was calmer in the densely populated city of 7 million whose infrastructure has traditionally held up well against the annual summer barrage of typhoons. Still, the Hong Kong Observatory urged residents to make sure their windows could be properly bolted, avoid the coastline and refrain from water sports. It also ordered small vessels to return to shore.
In the Philippines, more than 215,000 people were affected by the typhoon, including 10,300 people who fled to evacuation centers, officials said. About $30 million (1.3 billion pesos) worth of infrastructure and crops were damaged and nearly 5,000 houses were damaged or destroyed by Megi's ferocious wind, according to the government's main disaster-response agency.

Kim's new movie 'Temptation' is about a woman who betrays her husband to be with another man, but Kim promises she won't let that happen in her own life!
Now that Kim Kardashian, 32, and Kanye West, 35, are starting a family together, it's important that they keep their relationship solid. During her March 27 appearance on Good Morning America, Kim explained how she plans to keep temptation out of her relationship with Kanye.
Kim Kardashian's Interview: Naming Her Baby North?
With the birth of Kim and Kanye's baby getting closer, everyone is dying to know what the couple is going to name their baby! A report recently surfaced that Kim and Kanye were contemplating the name "North" for their first child, and Kim didn't deny it during her interview with Extra!
"I think it would be really cute, cause Kanye and I are both K's," Kim shared with Maria Menounos during her March 24 appearance. "But half the names on our list aren't K's."
Hmm, maybe there's an N on that list? North West is a pretty interesting name and Kim also stated in the interview that Kanye "wants something that's unique."
Kim wouldn't give any more details, so I guess we'll just have to wait until July to find out baby Kimye's name!

More on Libranet 2.7
After reading the product review of Libranet on this web site, I decided to give it a try. $100 and two weeks later I feel I have something more to say.
I was about to leave on a trip to the Caribbean and had decided not to try the install until I returned. I intended to take my Fujitsu laptop with SuSE 8.0 on the trip and be done with it.
But I had a few hours to kill the night before the I left, and I was frustrated by SuSE 8.1 not dealing correctly with APM on my IBM Thinkpad. This surprised me because 7.3 had worked fine. As SuSE 8.1 wasn't working, I hadn't loaded any user files on the Thinkpad--so I decided to see what Libranet 2.7 would do.
About an hour later I had the answer. It loaded flawlessly and recognized the video, sound and APM. So the Fujitsu came out of my bag and the Thinkpad went in.
We already did a product review, so that isn't my focus. Rather, I want to talk about the future of Linux on the desktop and how Libranet fits in.
I have been living in Costa Rica since January of this year. Besides a cultural change, there is a difference in which Linux distributions are popular. In the US, I saw more Red Hat and SuSE boxes than anything else. SSC, the parent company of Linux Journal, runs on Debian and seemed to be the exception. When I got here I saw servers running Debian, Slackware and Mandrake. Desktops were primarily Mandrake.
I wondered why there was this difference. Now I see two reasons for it, and the first is money. With a lot less disposable income, people are more likely to go for what is available for free. The second thing is marketing. With Linux vendors spending virtually no marketing dollars here, adoption depends a lot on word of mouth. Once someone picks something, they will spread the word. This fact, to me, is good. It doesn't make us any advertising revenue, but it does mean people talk to each other as in the early days of Linux.
Now, on to my personal prejudice--I like Debian. I have always liked it for a number of reasons. The sense of community is a big one. That is, there is a lot of overlap between the Debian developer and the Debian user communities. Thus, changes tend to address users' needs.
In addition, I have watched the RPM-based distributions add things that existed in Debian a long time ago. Real dependencies and on-line updates come to mind. I described Debian as "easy to install" in an LJ article about five years ago, and although it has remained at that same level of easiness, other distributions have raised the easiness bar.
When Corel Linux came out a few years ago, I had high hopes that it could be "desktop Debian". For a number of reasons, many of them political, it didn't happen. Thus, Debian has remained the first choice for many of the hard-core users, but it didn't make a serious dent in the desktop market.
Enter Libranet. It doesn't have all the glitz of, for example, a SuSE system, but it installs very easily. It reminds me of Mandrake--less fancy but very functional.
Where would I recommend Libranet? Well, if my neighbor wanted a desktop Linux distribution, I would be comfortable recommending it. Or if a company had Debian servers, Libranet could be just the ticket for moving desktops to Linux.
The future? I had thought the RPM vs. Deb war was over. Now I must reconsider. There are a lot of Deb packages out there, and with Libranet making it easy for a novice to get to them, I see a future. I see this as a chance for the hard-core Debian geeks to embrace new users without having to learn about that which they don't use.
Go Libranet. You might be "community Linux" for the desktop.

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

The European auto industry kind of really sucks right now, and EV sales are far below analyst expectations. Still, there is a lot of enthusiasm for EVs in Europe, and when Renault asked its Facebook fans if they'd like a cabriolet version of the Zoe Z.E. electric car, those potential customers responded with an overwhelming "Oui oui!"
November 16th, 2012 | by Christopher DeMorro
With major automakers struggling to find a way to market and sell electric vehicles to the masses, just about every idea is being tested. Yet success seems to be coming from an unlikely source. Europe's best-selling electric vehicle isn't the Nissan Leaf, the Opel Ampera, or any other EV we've heard so much about. Instead, it is the Renault Twizy, more quad than car, and the key to its success isn't style or range...it's all about the price

Researchers the world over are trying to come up with a solution to electric vehicle recharging woes. Even 240-volt chargers can take six hours or more to recharge the battery pack of many EVs, leading some companies to pursue alternative methods of recharging, like battery swapping...and battery swapping certainly has a lot to recommend it.

Kansas City police investigating after set of eyeballs found near trash cans outside gas station
Eyeballs could be human or animal
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Kansas City police want to know who left a set of eyeballs at an area gas station.
An employee at the Conoco at Northwest 112th Street and Northwest Ambassador Drive called police early Thursday when he found what was described as a suspicious package on top of a trash container outside the station.
Inside the package was a medical cooler and a set of what appeared to be eyes, police said.
It's hard to tell if the eyes may belong to a human because many animals have eyes that look similar to human eyes, investigators said.
Authorities thought the eyes may be human, so they contacted area eye transplant centers and hospitals to see if anyone was missing the eyes.
The owner of the gas station arrived later, allowing investigators to view surveillance tape. It showed two men in a blue Toyota with Nebraska license plates walking the package to the trash.
Police took the package to the Jackson County Medical Examiner's office, where a doctor was set to review the eyes later Thursday morning.

China protest worsens in Guangdong after villager death
A stand-off between villagers and the authorities is continuing in southern China's Guangdong province.
Police have blocked roads leading to the village of Wukan. Local people are trying to keep them out.
The row - over village land taken by the local government - has been simmering for some time.
A new wave of protests broke out several days ago after the death of a villager while in police custody.
It is not easy to get information about what is going on in the area. One local official denied there was a problem.
But it appears that villagers have held a series of protest rallies over recent days involving hundreds of people.
A video of one demonstration, posted online, shows angry protesters shouting slogans such as "Down with corrupt officials".
"We will continue our fight until the end," one man told the BBC.
'Guarding the village'China's village unrest
- 14 Dec 11: Stand-off in Wukan after a villager dies in police custody
- 21-23 Sept 11: Three days of rioting in Wukan
- Nov 08: Protesters attack government buildings over plans to demolish homes in Gansu province
- Apr 08: One person killed as police fire on protesters in Sanxi village, Yunnan province
- March 07: Up to 20,000 rural workers clash with police in Hunan province.
- Jan 06: Police break up protest in Sanjiao, Guangdong province, over land grabs
- Dec 05: Police shoot dead a number of protesters in Dongzhou, Guangdong
- July 05: Villagers in Taishi, Guangdong try to oust mayor
- June 05: Six farmers die in a fight with armed men in Shengyou, Hebei province
- April 05: Some 20,000 peasants drive off more than 1,000 riot police in Huaxi, Zhejiang province
- Nov 04: Paramilitary troops put down uprising of about 100,000 farmers in Sichuan province
The row with the authorities has deep roots. Villagers say local officials have over a long period taken their land and not given them proper compensation.
In a show of anger, they staged protests - and went on a rampage - in September.
In that protest they tore down a wall that had been built around land earmarked for development and ransacked government offices.
This latest unrest was sparked by the detention and death of villager Xue Jinbo, who was acting as a village representative.
The government detained him, with a group of others, last week, saying he was a criminal suspect being held in relation to the September protests.
But on Monday the authorities announced that he had died of a "sudden illness" on the third day of his detention.
The Lufeng city government, which oversees Wukan, said he had been rushed to hospital but doctors could not save him.
In a statement it said he had died after developing heart problems and "other causes had already been provisionally ruled out".
An official report into the death dismissed suggestions that Mr Xue had been "beaten to death by police", according to China's state-run Xinhua news agency.
Examiners apparently found "no serious wounds" on the body apart from a few bruises on his wrists and knees.
"We assume handcuffs left the marks on his wrists and his knees were bruised slightly when he knelt," said an expert involved in preparing the report.
But villagers still are questioning the cause of death - and want the body returned, which they say the local government is refusing to do.
"There is no written law to say he cannot be returned home," said a villager surnamed Gao, the dead man's son in law.
He said the protesters would not back down
"The villagers have been guarding the village and stopping the police from coming inside," he said.
Zheng Yanxiong, a local communist party chief, made an appeal for the protests to end in a Xinhua article.
"The government will strive to settle all related problems and hopes that the village will not be instigated into staging further riots," he said.
Conflict like this over land is not unusual in the Chinese countryside.
There are thought to be tens of thousands of what the government refers to as mass incidents every year.
But this row seems larger and more intense than many others. Local people have shown they are willing to take on the authorities.

The volume of Australian wine exports fell by 7 per cent in the 12 months to March to 705 million litres valued at $1.9 billion, new figures from Wine Australia show.
The average value of both bottled and bulk wine exports increased. However, an increase in the share of bulk wine exports in the mix resulted in the overall average value declining by 1 per cent to $2.65 per litre.
Wine Australia said the overall slide in export volumes was driven by a decline in bottled wine exports offsetting an increase in bulk wine exports.
Bottled exports declined due mainly to the increased prevalence of in-market packaging of wine as well as some Australian producers exiting unprofitable entry level price points.
The sector continues to be rattled by the high Australian dollar which has made Aussie wine less price competitive against other wines from regions such as South America and Europe.
The higher Australian dollar has also prompted many local winemakers to ship their wine in bulk containers to overseas markets and bottle them there.
''The number of Australian exporters choosing to send wine in bulk to then bottle in-market rather than in Australia has increased significantly over the past few years,'' Wine Australia said.

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Politics and Business Don't Mix
Search Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" trading recommendations using our exclusive "Mad Money" Stock Screener.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The business of stocks is not politics, Jim Cramer announced to his "Mad Money" TV show viewers Thursday.
He said rather than asking whether you're better off now than you were four years ago, asked whether the companies in your portfolio are.
Cramer reminded investors they're not investing in politics, they're investing in the present and future fortunes of the individual companies. So while the unemployment rate may have risen from 5% to 8%, which is bad for you personally, for many companies things are a lot brighter now than they were four years ago. What's good for companies is actually bad for politicians, Cramer explained. Companies want to create more and better products for less money. That means hiring fewer workers and using more technology to keep margins high. But that's exactly the opposite of what the politicians are hoping. They want more hiring. So while the U.S. economy continues to improve and the prospects for a resolution in Europe get ever closer, it's no wonder the markets were able to rally, said Cramer. Need proof? Just look at Stanley Black & Decker (SWK), up 8% Thursday, or Williams Sonoma (WSM) hitting new highs. These stocks are rallying because the future is looking up for U.S. housing. Even laggards like FedEx (FDX), Cummins (CMI) and Caterpillar (CAT) have been on the move, all proving that things are beginning to look up. So forget about politics, Cramer concluded, and think about how the individual companies in your portfolio are doing.Executive Decision
In the "Executive Decision" segment, Cramer went on location with Manny Chirico, chairman and CEO of PVH Corp (PVH - Get Report), a stock that hit a new 52-week high Thursday and is up 140% since Cramer first got behind the company in Jan 2008. Chirico was very upbeat on his company's outlook, noting that both the Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger brands remain strong in Europe, which allowed them to deliver 10% revenue growth and 15% same-store sales growth in the region. He said his company is clearly taking market share in what has been a tough region for their competitors.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

As nonprofits try to figure out the optimal way to use the internet to build community and raise money, many options for collecting donations online are becoming available. In a recent blog post, I wrote about some simple options for offering online giving to a nonprofit's constituents. Other nonprofits have taken advantage of more complex options, including fundraising pages. Fundraising pages are basically pages your constituents create themselves that allow them to discuss why they are interested in your cause, recruit additional donors/gifts, and raise money towards a specific goal. They often include some type of "thermometer" to track donations from the page.
One service that offers these fundraising pages is FirstGiving. To hear more about how FirstGiving works, check out this video:
Note that FirstGiving charges 7.35% of each online donation received via their site, so it is one of the more expensive options out there. But if you believe this type of effort would be an effective way to raise money, it may be an option to consider. These fundraising pages are most often used for walks and other types of fundraising events that allow participants to recruit others to sponsor their efforts.
DonorPerfect Online has a similar feature called DonorPages. This functionality can be integrated with your existing DonorPerfect Online system. They charge 2.99% of each donation, plus $0.35 per transaction.
This type of functionality can also be custom-developed and integrated with your website. For example, Spectrum Health has created what they call Team Fundraising pages. These pages allow interested constituents to recruit others to help them raise money for the cause they are interested in.
Have you tried fundraising pages or other more advanced online donations functionality? Has it been successful? Please let us know in the comments below.

Percentage Plus Pixel Sizing
Pre 2006
This is the OUTSIDE box
Thinking outside the box
This is the INSIDE box and it is
25% wide + 100px
and it is 25% wide
Thinking outside the box
This box is 50% wide + 150px
Copyright © stu nicholls - CSS play
At last a use for my 'Border Writing' ... Hoorah.
I have been asked the following question many, many times over the last year or two:
Is it possible to set the size of a div by adding a percentage value and a pixel value, for instance 25% + 200 pixels?
And my answer has always been 'NO'.
Well, now I have changed my mind. Adapting my 'border writing' example I now have a way of defining just such div sizes.
It is possible using a nested outer and inner div where the inner div is LARGER than the outer one. How?... by using negative margins, that's how.
The OUTER div is used to set the percentage width, and the inner div is used to set the extra pixel width by using negative left/right margins that total the additional pixel value.
So a width of 20% PLUS 200px is set up using an outer div with width 20% and an inner div with left/right margins of -100px each (or a right margin of -200px and a left margin of 0px).
The only major problem with this is that IE doesn't fully understand the technique, but with a bit of coaxing it too can be made to display correctly. All that is needed is to make the inner div into an 'inline-block' and voila! IE conforms.
The following link gives several examples for you to play with. Resize your browser window to see the divs resize at different rates. An extra bonus to this method is that the divs take on a minimum width value equal to the pixel width. I have given the outer div a top 5px black border to show how the percentage width reduces whilst the pixel width stays the same.
Works in IE5.5, IE6, IE7, FF, Opera on a PC. Mac browsers not tested, but would appreciate feedback.
You may use this method on your personal 'non-profit' web site without seeking my permission. A link back to CSSplay is always appreciated.
Commercial usage is also permitted without seeking approval, but I would ask that a donation is considered to support my work on CSSPlay.
If you are having problems integrating any of my demonstrations into your website then I now offer a service to fault find and correct any errors that you may have introduced. Please email me for more information.

Within the circulatory system, blood flow regulates vascular remodelling, stimulates blood stem cell formation, and has a role in the pathology of vascular disease. During vertebrate embryogenesis, vascular patterning is initially guided by conserved genetic pathways that act before circulation. Subsequently, endothelial cells must incorporate the mechanosensory stimulus of blood flow with these early signals to shape the embryonic vascular system. However, few details are known about how these signals are integrated during development. To investigate this process, we focused on the aortic arch (AA) blood vessels, which are known to remodel in response to blood flow. By using two-photon imaging of live zebrafish embryos, we observe that flow is essential for angiogenesis during AA development. We further find that angiogenic sprouting of AA vessels requires a flow-induced genetic pathway in which the mechano-sensitive zinc finger transcription factor klf2a induces expression of an endothelial-specific microRNA, mir-126, to activate Vegf signalling. Taken together, our work describes a novel genetic mechanism in which a microRNA facilitates integration of a physiological stimulus with growth factor signalling in endothelial cells to guide angiogenesis.
