Don't rent a scooter! Watch your back!
There's a guy in town next to a juice van who has 2 scooters (one blue, one black, parked on the street) and rents them out for $25 for 2 hours. We made the unfortunate mistake of hiring one. It worked for the first 20 minutes then cut out when we were far from anything on a remote part of the island. We spent the next half an hour trying to start it, then an hour trying to push it back to town in the heat. Eventually we gave up and paid for a taxi back to the rental guy. He told us he'd pick up the scooter & we should return the next day to sort it out. When we returned he told us that the scooter started fine and it was out fault. We asked to see it running. He tried to start it & it wouldn't start. He insisted that was a separate problem. No matter what we said, he refused to refund our money or give us the other scooter for the 2 hours we paid for. Great experience.
A lot gets stolen on Bocas. A girl staying with us had her handbag stolen after sitting it down for a second. We had our phone stolen. There are a lot of ladies nights with free drinks. The locals seem to take advantage of these to get at people when their guard is down. Walking through a crowded bar alone (sober mind you) I had 3 separate people grab at me in inappropriate places. My boyfriend was approached by 3 huge men (he's 6ft2 himself) he'd never seen before who claimed that he owed them money and insisted he go outside with them to sort it out. They kept hassling him till he stood up to them and they realized he wasn't going to make it easy. They eventually gave up.
All in all, Bocas isn't even that nice and the locals are constantly trying to take tourists down. There are much nicer places in the world to spend your time!
If you have to go, lock everything in your room. Only take essentials out with you. Keep your wits about you when out. If locals try to make friends be suspicious, chances are it's not cause they like you, they want what's in your pockets. Hate to say this one cause I like my independence but girls, stick with guys to avoid being hassled. A girl should be able to walk to the bathrooms on her own in a crowded bar but that wasn't the case for me. Best advice... avoid Bocas Del Toro
- Jungle and Rain Forest
- Beaches
- Budget Travel
minor problems....
Tap water is not safe in Bocas. Use bottle water. In most other places in Panama I drank tap water and had no problem. But here I didn't make any experiments...
Also they say surfing can be dangerous as there are riptides.
At some beaches there are sand flies locally called 'chitras'. They are almost invisible but very bad...Use your repellent!
Bocas Beaches - Red Frog
Most island tours from Bocas del Toro will take people to Red Frog Beach as a place to go swimming. It's an incredibly beautiful beach formed by a white sand cove, complete with a thatched hut bar with seats swinging from palm trees. Beware that this beach can have deadly riptides. It can seem tranquil, but it has holes about 10-20 meters out that can cause tremendous currents of outflowing water. I have seen several people get into trouble and one drowning in two visits. Locals have said that it is an on-going problem and that the local government is supposed to post warnings, but has not done so. None of the boat operators seem to warn people they are bringing about the danger. It's a great place to spend a day laying at the beach, but be guarded about going in the water here.

evil tours that kill
There are a variety of tours offered from Bocas, and the majority of them are all similar. Your itinerary might include some stops at a few islands such as Bastimentos and also a cove to watch some dolphins swim. Let me just warn you now that I did go on the tour and later found out from someone who's been living on the island for a while that one of the tour boats killed a dolphin a week prior to my visit. It had been cut up in the boat's propellors because the operators like to encircle the dolphins, inching closer and closer to them, in order to get them to jump out of the water and please the crowds. Although I had no clue wheter this story was legitimate, it didn't seem unbelievable as when I had been on the boat I had noticed the operators doing this exact same thing.
Had I known this beforehand, I would have protested and not gone on this tour. I don't want to see the locals exploiting these animals just for profit. Instead, I would have hired a private boat and chosen my own itinerary, purposely diverting the dolphin cove.
- Backpacking
- Eco-Tourism
- Beaches
We went on a snorkelling expedition that was supposed to end in a half hour snorkelling stop at Punta Hospital which is in sheltered waters. Since there was a storm the night before, visibility in the waters there was limited and we were taken to Cayo Jardin instead in open waters. Even though I ASKED before going in if there were sharks in the water and was assured no, we had unfortunately floated quite a ways from the boat when a 2 metre (6 foot) shark appeared in the water. What more when we were screaming and kicking our way to the boat, the captain did nothing and just smiled at us. He told us the sharks weren't harmful but if you don't like the idea, perhaps best to stay in (or close to) the boat when in open waters like this.
Bad bike rentals
Best to go with a bike rental place in an actually shop (we just rented some bikes off the street, whoops!).
Check the chain- if they are not well oiled then you could have a problem. Even ask to take a spin around the block to see if there are any weird sounds. My girlfriend's bike had its chain fly off and had to hail a taxi to take her back into town with the bike. Not fun and could be very annoying if you are very far away from town and taxis. Can also be dangerous if a car is on the road when your bike is mal functioning!
Strong Sun
This tip should be obvious to most, but may still be useful to some, including us of very fair skin. Panama, being located close to the equator, experiences much stronger UV rays than in the U.S. or Europe. If you do not take precautions against the sun and you burn easily, you will be sorry, as I was. I am very careful about taking precautions against sunburn because I get burned very easiliy. Nevertheless, even though I put copious amounts of sunblock on my body, I missed a spot on my back that resulted in a 2nd degree burn after only 45 min. of snorkeling.
Lesson? Don't be bashful and ask someone to apply sunblock for you. It helps if you have a partner to help put sunscreen on. Even for those who are looking for sun should be prepared for advance timetables of coloring from the sun from the U.S. - even Florida.
Who do I pay the water taxi fare to?
I know it sounds dum, but I still wanted to pass this tip along. When travelling on a water taxi, make sure you know who you're paying the money too. We were scammed out of $2 by this guy who started collecting money pretending to be the boat operator. It turned out he wasn't the captain. My bad I know, should have known better, but it was late at night. I'm lucky it only cost me $2 so it wasn't that bad. I did got his hat out of it :).
As I said, it was partially my fault since I didn't paid the captain directly. If I had paid the captain there should have been any problems. Careful guys, never prepay for a boat trip in this region and if you do, make sure you are paying the captain!!!

Winter!: Prepare for holiday gaming!
You have defeated the leader of the people of the sleeping town Nanai, the Knight. Who was a step up from Frog and instead of being able to "hit, hit, hit, hit, hit, heal" it was more like "hit, hit, heal", because his attacks are so strong.
You have defeated him and it's time to remove the E Key from the dangerous spot it has been placed. You'll hold onto this Key fer a GOOD while.
And don't be stupid and not use it, this thing is handy as an attack.
If Nina's not doing anything or Ox is being useless as always you can have them use this thing as a multiple target attack, it's pretty handy. ^_~

Change happens, and for those of us who work with technology for a living it is the only constant. Change is a process and in and of itself is not a bad thing when it offers improvement. Unfortunately the change that has been offered negatively impacts the look, interface and most importantly the functionality of Slashdot.
Many people have had trouble reverting back to the classic interface. The new interface simply does not offer the functionality of the old. Things like statistics, comments and layout are very difficult to find. You have a community that lives and breathes data and want to know their data. How is my comment ranked, how many people responded – it's really all about the dialogue. Can I get the information that I want in a readily digestible format?
As you're well aware the new site does not offer the very thing that people come here for. This in and of itself is not why your community has organized a boycott of Beta. The boycott was originated because the new version will be implemented whether the community wants it or not.
I want to explain why this change has gone down people's throats about as well as Windows 8's Metro interface. The reason has absolutely nothing to do with the interface and everything to do with the perception that the editors and management of Slashdot appear to have.
The message that has been consistently handed down is that we are "your audience". We are not your "your audience" we are your product. People do not come to Slashdot for the news stories, there are untold other sites that provide those as well as professional and original writing about them. People come here for the community of insiders from across the industry.
Please respect the community and stop what you're doing. You have commented that you don't want to maintain two code bases. Your community works in the industry and understands this, which leads many to suggest you abandon the new code base entirely so that you are only maintaining once code base. Tell us what your trying to accomplish and I would imagine that a wide range of experts would be more than willing to help you meet your goals.

Comment: Happened to Me, in much the same way (Score 5, Interesting) 191
I very recently had the same situation that is described in the articles happen to my iTtunes Account. I received 2 emails for gift cards purchased through the iTunes store. As I was on vacation with no PC and thus no iTunes access, and not buying gift cards, I knew something was up. At first, I was thinking they were actually spam/phishing emails, as they listed the last 4 digits of a Credit Card that didn't match any of my Credit cards. Without iTunes, all I could do was access my Apple ID account through the web on my phone, and when logged into my account, I saw that my billing information had been changed.
Luckily I had moved about 3 weeks before, and updated my billing info with my credit card, and not in iTunes (or I suspect I would have had several more app/gift card purchases on my own card.) The strange part was that they didn't change my password at all, or any security related questions. It seems as all they did was change my billing info to some one else's and buy $100 worth of gift cards (Who knows what they were used for...).
I changed my iTunes Password, and contacted Apple Technical support, and all I got was a standard form letter about how I could dispute the charges on my credit card (even though I had pointed out that it *wasn't* my credit card info). They locked my account and after a short investigation they enabled it with no indication of anything other than their form letter.
I will freely admit that my password was vulnerable to a dictionary attack, as in the past, I wasn't too worried about someone buying me lots of music, but have since changed it. However, I had no indication that someone was attempting to access my account. If someone was indeed using a dictionary attack on my account, I would have hoped Apple would notice several thousand invalid logins on an account and do something about it.
I suspect there is someone named Jason in Seattle, who is wondering why they have a $100 purchase from iTunes on their MasterCard...

Wreck leads Knoxville police to Georgia fugitive
Georgia man awaiting extradition
An East Knoxville fender-bender led to the capture of a wanted Georgia fugitive this week, according to records.
Timothy Aundre Grier, 50, was awaiting extradition to Georgia after being arrested Thursday in Knoxville on charges of aggravated assault, aggravated burglary and especially aggravated kidnapping, according to warrants filed in Knox County General Sessions Court.
The arrest followed a traffic crash in an alley off the 2300 block of Jefferson Avenue about 9 p.m. Wednesday when a man backed his car from his nearby home into the alley and struck a passing vehicle that Grier was driving.
After both got out of their vehicles, Grier allegedly struck the victim in the head with a small handgun, causing the gun to go off. No one was hit by the stray round, although the victim was treated later at the University of Tennessee Medical Center for a head laceration, the warrants state.
Grier then allegedly told the man "he was going to make it right," and ordered him back inside his house. Grier searched the victim's home while holding the man at gunpoint, according to warrants. He left after he couldn't find any cash, police said.
A second suspect, though, Milton Bernard Grier, 53, was spotted carrying a black laptop out of the victim's house as KPD officers responded to reports of nearby gunfire, according to records. Milton Grier — whose relationship to Timothy Grier wasn't immediately known — was arrested on a theft charge. He was booked and later released on bond.
Timothy Grier fled to Knoxville from Georgia, where he is wanted for a parole violation, Knox County warrants state.
He has various felony convictions, according to the Georgia Department of Correction, and was paroled in August 2011 after serving nearly 18 years for voluntary manslaughter and aggravated assault.

Originally written on Holdout Sports | Last updated 11/17/14
St. Louis Rams receiver Danny Amendola spiked a football into a man's face, and appeared to break the man's glasses, after scoring a touchdown in the fourth quarter of Sunday's NFL game against the Minnesota Vikings. Amendola may want to plan his touchdown celebrations better in the future. Not only does he owe this man a new pair of glasses, but the Rams were down 33-7 at the time, so it seemed ill-advised. In the end, the Vikings defeated the Rams 36-22. It could have been worse. At least Amendola didn't throw the ball directly at the man's face. Video via. H/T OTB.

Jets get Robert Griffin - not that one - in 6th rd
Robert Griffin is coming to the New York Jets.
No, not RGIII, of course. Same school, though.
Baylor guard Robert T. Griffin - nicknamed ''RGII,'' ''Big Griff'' and ''Deuce'' - was selected by the Jets in the sixth round of the NFL draft Saturday, one pick after New York took his Bears teammate, running back Terrance Ganaway.
Griffin, listed at 6-foot-6 and 330 pounds, was a first-team All-Big 12 selection as a senior after making 12 starts at right guard. He also started at right tackle as a junior, helping protect quarterback Robert Griffin III - the No. 2 overall pick who is of no relation.
''He's like a brother,'' the Jets' newest offensive lineman said. ''We have the same name, but didn't treat each other any differently. It was an everyday thing, but I was the one putting my hand in the dirt and he was the one putting his hand on the ball and throwing the rock. I didn't feel different. On the inside, I felt I had to do a little extra for him because we have the same name.''
Jets coach Rex Ryan joked that he was thrown off by the pick when general manager Mike Tannenbaum announced it.
''There's something where everybody thinks there's a quarterback controversy and all that,'' Ryan said, referring to having both Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow on the roster. ''When Tannenbaum said, `Hey, we just got Robert Griffin from Baylor,' I'm like, `What?'''
The Jets' Griffin plans to keep the ''T'' in his name despite no longer being teammates with the new Redskins quarterback. He's also going to keep all of his nicknames.
''Me and my agent, we make jokes about it,'' Griffin said. ''I'm going to keep my motto, I'm going to keep `Big Griff' and `RGII.' It's nothing different.''
Griffin adds some versatility and depth to New York's offensive line, but thinks he is more aggressive playing guard.
''That's where I can make my living at,'' Griffin said.
New York drafted North Carolina defensive end Quinton Coples in the first round Thursday, and on Friday took Georgia Tech wide receiver Stephen Hill in the second round and Arkansas State linebacker Demario Davis in the third. Ryan said Saturday night that he thought Coples and Hill would step in as starters this season. But he then quickly backtracked to talk up defensive end Mike DeVito - the team's incumbent starter at defensive end, where Coples will also play.
''I really can't tell you the exact role right now,'' Ryan said of DeVito. ''I shouldn't have said that about Quinton, either. It really depends on what package and all of that stuff. I can tell you this about Mike DeVito: He is an outstanding football player.''
The Jets drafted Wake Forest safety Josh Bush earlier in the sixth round with their first pick of the day. In the seventh round, they took South Carolina safety Antonio Allen and Western Michigan wide receiver Jordan White.
Ganaway set Baylor's single-season marks with 1,547 yards rushing and 21 rushing touchdowns last year as a senior. At 5-foot-11 and 240 pounds, Ganaway is a thickly built and powerful runner who adds depth to new offensive coordinator Tony Sparano's run-first offense.
''I'm a work-in-progress,'' said Ganaway, whose uncle is former Pro Bowl linebacker Jeremiah Trotter. ''But, I'm ready to make things happen.''
Ganaway originally began his college career at the University of Houston for coach Art Briles, but transferred to Baylor after running for 550 yards and six touchdowns as a freshman for the Cougars. Reunited with Briles, who took over as coach at Houston, he had limited carries in his first two seasons for the Bears before getting 250 attempts as a senior and putting up eye-popping numbers.
He didn't catch many passes at Baylor - 12 receptions in three years - but he didn't need to in the system the Bears used.
''In our offense, Robert Griffin III had a lot of options,'' he said, ''and the running back was the fifth option for him.''
Bush was an all-ACC selection last season as a fifth-year senior for the Demon Deacons after moving from cornerback to safety and had six interceptions.
''This past year actually was the only time that I've played full-time safety,'' he said. ''Other than that, I've been a corner pretty much. In my sophomore year, I actually started the season off at corner and I played about six games at free safety.''
As a sophomore, Bush picked off then-North Carolina State's Russell Wilson to end his NCAA-record streak of 379 consecutive attempts without an interception. He and Allen will add depth to the Jets' secondary, which needed help with LaRon Landry and Eric Smith as the team's only experienced safeties.
Allen is a big-hitting safety who played effectively in zone coverage and inside as a run stuffer. He had 88 tackles, three interceptions and a sack in his senior season with the Gamecocks.
White bounced back from tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in each knee in separate seasons early in his career - ''freak accidents'' in practice, he called them - to catch 140 passes for 1,911 yards and 17 touchdowns in his senior year.
''Thankfully, the Jets saw something in me, in my ability, the things I can do on the field,'' White said. ''Here I am right now, ready to put on a show for the Jets to the best of my ability.''
Notes: Ryan was asked what he thought of his defense, which finished fifth overall last season, with the new additions. ''I don't want to put any undue expectations on our team,'' he said. ''So, I would expect we'd lead the league.'' ... Joey Clinkscales, the team's vice president of college scouting, brushed aside reports that he could leave the organization to join Oakland's front office and be reunited with Raiders GM Reggie McKenzie, his former high school and college teammate. ''I expect to be here,'' Clinkscales said. ''This is where I started, and this is where I plan on being.''

American Water's Paul Gagliardo to Speak at Water & Wastewater Management Summit
Will discuss innovation and change in water utility industry
American Water, a publicly traded water and wastewater utility company, announced Paul Gagliardo, manager of Innovation Development, will speak at the 2012 Water & Wastewater Management Summit. The summit will be held May 3 and 4 in Las Vegas.
Gagliardo will discuss innovation and change in the historically conservative water utility industry. His presentation will focus on identifying opportunities for value generation within a utility and subsequently, how to deploy those innovations necessary for change. Through American Water's Innovation Development Process, the company has tested new approaches and technologies to create greater efficiencies in water reuse, desalination, wastewater operations and bioenergy. This initiative is achieving results through numerous innovation approaches that range from connecting to the Smart Grid through Enbala Power Networks to investing in the deployment of the company's patented NPXpress wastewater treatment process, both of which will be discussed in his presentation.
The Water & Wastewater Management Summit brings together 50 water & wastewater leaders across North America to a highly focused and interactive networking event. The event will focus on strategies and practical realities for delivering reliable, safe and affordable water and wastewater services.
Key topics of the summit include utility financing and planning, asset management, regulation and compliance, new technology, waste management and energy efficiency.

Canton Borough Council Asks Residents Not To Mow
Clippings Onto Streets
With the recent torrential downpours, as well as normal rain showers, it is problematic to mow glass clippings onto the streets as the grass clippings end up plugging the storm drains and catch basins which then allows for flash flooding on Borough streets. While it is not illegal to do so on Borough streets, it is on streets owned by PennDOT which would include East Main Street, West Main Street, Sullivan Street, Springbrook Drive, Troy Street, South Minnequa Avenue, East South Avenue, Lower Mountain Avenue and North Center Street. The Borough would ask that residents be courteous and not continue to mow/blow grass onto Borough streets.

I remember a lot of Old Spice and Aqua Velva (ugh)! My Mother bought him a Bttl. of Brut about 10 years ago which he wore quite regularly, although I think she just got sick of the "cheap" stuff and would have tried anything.
He's in his 80's and seems much less interested in scent at this point. Seems to be a "weddings only" guy now!

Lesotho is facing the devastating effects of two successive crop failures compounded by a litany of socio-economic adversities. Increased food insecurity is expected to affect a large part of the population through the 2012/13 lean season. The findings of the recent Lesotho Vulnerability Assessment Committee's reportas well as a rapid assessment conducted by the United States Agency for International Development indicate that Lesotho's level of food security has declined significantly for the second year in a row. The impact of this season's late rains and subsequent widespread drought adds to the increasing vulnerability of the population. The matter is worsened by the fact that the country faced a similar poor harvest in 2011.

Syracuse Crunch
Connolly Nets Hat Trick, But Crunch Fall to Senators 6-3Submitted by jghoughtaling on January 18, 2014 - 22:54
Brett Connolly scored three times, but the Syracuse Crunch fell to the Binghamton Senators, 6-3, at the Onondaga County War Memorial Saturday.
Connolly is the third Crunch player to record a hat trick this season. Although he didn't record any points in his previous three games, Connolly had an eight-game point streak from Dec. 20 to Jan. 8.
"It's obviously a lot better when you have a good game and you win," Connolly said. "We need wins right now, and they're hard to come by in this league."
AHL Game Night: 1-18-14 Senators at CrunchSubmitted by pete on January 18, 2014 - 22:23
Syracuse follows suit and wastes a Connolly hat trick.
Kristers Gudlevskis allowed 3 goals on 11 shots before being lifted at the end of the First Period. Cedrick Desjardins allowed 2 on 17 shots the rest of the way for the old back door loss.
First Period
SYR Connolly, (10) (Paquette), 5:59 (PP)
BNG O'Brien, (6) (Schneider), 11:46 (SH)
BNG Petersson, (14) (Wideman, Pageau), 14:26
BNG Puempel, (14) (Da Costa, Hoffman), 15:45 (PP)
SYR Connolly, (11) (Namestnikov), 17:26
Second Period
BNG Prince, (8) (New, Pageau), 15:28 (PP)
Third Period
SYR Connolly, (12) (Namestnikov, Taormina), 4:01 (PP)
BNG Cowick, (7) (Claesson, Hamilton), 9:36
BNG Petersson, (15) (Pageau), 17:40 (EN)
Brett Connolly and Vladislav Namestnikov were the game's first and third stars. It's unbelievable the organization had hat tricks at the NHL and AHL levels today and neither team won. That's got to be incredibly rare.
Syracuse is still 3 points back of St. John's for 8th in the Eastern Conference, but the loss allows Hershey and Worcester to jockey for position ahead of the Crunch in the standings. With the hole they've dug, every loss will have that effect from here on out.

Richard Registers Two Assists, Crunch Top Bears, 3-2Submitted by jghoughtaling on January 17, 2014 - 22:44
Mike Angelidis accepted his teammates' congratulations and then leaned in for a conversation with one of his team's rookies.
The Syracuse Crunch captain, having opened the scoring 9:30 into the first period, wanted to let Tanner Richard know his work on the goal -- battling through a check and making the pass -- wasn't going unnoticed.
"I said 'That's a great second effort, that's all you,'" Angelidis said. "When you see a young guy pulling out a second effort like that, you just try to get him going and give him confidence."
Richard finished with a pair of assists for his first multi-point pro game, as the Crunch topped the Hershey Bears, 3-2, at the Onondaga County War Memorial Friday.
"I thought he was moving his feet a little bit more," said Syracuse coach Rob Zettler. "That's the biggest thing for Tanner, when he's stationary he's not effective. When he's moving his feet, he can be really effective."
Prospect of the Week: January 13, 2014Submitted by chad on January 13, 2014 - 17:31
We continue our Prospect of the Week award, an honor (virtually) given to one Tampa Bay Lightning prospect for their recent contributions on and off the ice.
The Prospect of the Week for January 13, 2014 is … Kristers Gudlevskis, G, Syracuse Crunch (AHL – USA).
Syracuse goaltender Cedrick Desjardins could find himself in a rare situation. The veteran netminder has been the Crunch's No. 1 goalie for most of the season, yet he may have just lost his hold on No. 1 after being promoted to the NHL.
AHL Game Night: 1-11-14 Bruins at CrunchSubmitted by pete on January 11, 2014 - 23:04
125 minutes.
Kristers Gudlevskis stopped all 27 shots he faced for the shutout victory. If you're keeping track at home, in the last 48 hours the Providence Bruins played 125 minutes of regulation and overtime hockey against Gudlevskis and they got nothing to show for their efforts. Nada. Were it not for the shootout gimmick last night, we might be calling Gudlevskis Providence's daddy. We still might, anyhow. Gudlevskis has 4 shutouts in his 16 appearances this season and a very respectable 2.37 GAA and .915 sv%. He's looking like quite the late round steal for the Lightning, to be sure.
First Period
SYR Paquette, (11) (Tyrell, Korobov), 0:42
Second Period
Third Period
Gudlevskis and Cedric Paquette were the game's first and second stars.
Syracuse remains 3 points back of 8th place in the Eastern Conference. They're off until Friday when they face the Hershey Bears.

The dark night echoes the dark soul: Shakespeare's sonnets and the poetry of Antara Ibn Shaddad

This essay examines the images of the night in Shakespeare's sonnets and in the poetry of Antara Ibn Shaddad. It explores how these two poets identify the night with sleeplessness, aloofness, loneliness, night birds, dreams, old age and death. Doing so, it suggests that the two poets, despite of their cultural backgrounds, and of the boundaries of place, language and time, use almost, with some differences, the same nocturnal motifs. This essay is important because it shows how different cultures follow strikingly similar, if not exactly perfect, ways of describing the darkness of nature as an echo of the darkness of the strayed soul. In the light of these strong affinities, this essay suggests two possibilities, one being the universality of these poets (Hereafter, I have, where possible, made references to some Western and Oriental poets who similarly use some image-clusters of the night.), and the other being that Shakespeare, in one way or another, may have been exposed to the poetry of Antara providing that it was translated into Latin or any other European language. No matter which one of these possibilities seems to be credible, this study tries to imply that cultures, regardless of language barriers, share some quintessential ways of expressing cultural innerness, to which researchers should pay more attention instead of being preoccupied with cultural differences as signs of clash of civilizations.

Critical Essay by Jay Scott
SOURCE: "Susie Loves Matt," in American Film, Vol. VIII, No. 6, April, 1983, pp. 34-5.
In the following excerpt, Scott describes Hinton's association with actor Matt Dillon, who portrayed Dallas in the film version of The Outsiders, the title character in the film based on Tex, and Rusty-James in the movie based on Rumble Fish. Scott goes on to briefly describe Hinton's novels and incorporates Hinton's and Dillon's comments on them as well.
The Arkansas River which cuts through the center of Tulsa, Oklahoma, is wide, shallow, and sluggish. It moves imperceptibly under the heavy humid August air; temperatures have been hitting over a hundred for weeks. In summer, most things in Tulsa seem to come to a halt. People who were attracted by the now long-gone unemployment rate of two percent sit outside at night to escape the closeness of small, rented homes that don't have air conditioners. Their children are the children about whom and for whom Francis Coppola is making Rumble Fish, a film based on S. E. Hinton's self-proclaimed "art" novel.
Rumble Fish is an expressionist parable of coming of age with unconscious stylistic links to Ernest Hemingway, Raymond Chandler, and James M. Cain. "I had to worry about money, and whether or not the old man would drink up his check before I got part of it … and I had a cop itching to blow my brains out…. So I didn't have much time for serious thinking about my life," says Rusty-James, the novel's narrator-hero. Coppola's standard line is to compare The Outsiders, his conventionally conceived film of Hinton's first novel, to The Godfather; he compares Rumble Fish—with its Caligari camera angles, its Cat People fog, and its Citizen Kane shadows—to Apocalypse Now. For her part, Hinton is happy to leave comparisons aside. She has read almost no Hemingway, Chandler, or Cain, and she does not intend to read more: Her hard-boiled teenybopper tough guys, with warm but not soft hearts thudding gently under black leather carapaces, are her own inventions, and she would like to keep them that way.
Matt Dillon, who plays Rusty-James in Rumble Fish, doesn't much like comparisons either. "Marlon Brando?" he says at the mention of the name most often paired with his. "When I was doing Over the Edge and was playing around, someone told me I was like Brando. I didn't take that as a compliment. I thought he was a fat old man—the only thing I'd seen him in was The Godfather. Then I saw A Streetcar Named Desire." Dillon's eyes narrow. "I remember a few things from it. It was … interesting."
Everyone is predicting stardom for this unassertive kid who made his film debut at fourteen in Over the Edge. If he achieves it, he will have his talent, luck, Hinton, and Coppola to thank, in that order. After Dillon's impressive performances in My Bodyguard, Tex (based on another Hinton novel), and The Outsiders, Rumble Fish promises to establish him once and for all. He may someday play Paul Newman to Sean Penn's Robert De Niro.
Hinton remembers being "horrified" when Tex director Tim Hunter asked her to take a look at Dillon. "Tex is a sweet little unworldly cowboy, and here was this guy who said, 'Like, man,' and told me Rumble Fish was his favorite book. When I get a letter from a kid who says Rumble Fish is his favorite book, he's usually in a reformatory."
Hinton's about-face was total and led to a fascinating symbiotic relationship between the writer of children's books and the star of children's movies. "All of a sudden," Hinton recalls, "I thought, I made this kid up; I wrote this kid. He was exactly the kid I was writing about and for—really bright, doesn't fit into the system, has possibilities beyond the obvious." Hinton decided she wanted him in The Outsiders, too, but got nowhere with Warner Bros. So she went directly to Coppola. In due course, Dillon was cast.
"I love that kid," Hinton says, telling a long story about Dillon's maturity in dealing with an inebriated adult actor on the Rumble Fish set.
"Susie's great," Dillon comments with typical teenage reserve.
Bystanders on the Rumble Fish set have noticed that the Hinton-Dillon relationship has already cooled. Dillon is involved with a woman in her twenties and Hinton, having grown somewhat weary of the responsibilities of playing parent ("It's as close as I've ever come, and it isn't an entirely pleasant experience—you worry a lot"), is protecting herself against the loneliness of the sideshow leaving town. Dillon's thoughts are on the future: Rumble Fish he knows, is the vehicle that could do him the most good. Or the most harm.
Hinton's novels, and the films made from them, are generally greeted as documents carrying the timeliness of tomorrow (the ads for Tex were one-word come-ons: "Tex. Tough. Tender. Today"). In that context, their thoroughgoing maleness is surprising and oddly old-fashioned. The books are always about boys; except as addenda to the males, there are no Hinton Little Women. "When I was a teenager, I didn't understand what girls were talking about," she explains. "They were always waiting for something to happen; they got to stand in the john, rat their hair, and outline their eyes in black. Even now, when I go to baby showers, I still feel like I'm an anthropologist at some weird rite."
As her blue Mercedes streaks past the gaudy bronze praying hands that adorn the entrance to evangelist Oral Roberts's City of Faith medical complex—"Part space station, part Disneyland," Hinton cackles—she cheerfully confesses ignorance of children's literature. "I don't know what the latest hot trend is. I hate the 'problem' approach. Problems change. Character remains the same. I write character." With equal cheer, she discusses her role in what she hopes will be a movie revolution. Young-adult fiction has long been savvy and sophisticated in its treatment of teenagers, and she would like to see that savvy and sophistication come to the screen. "Teenagers are not," she says with disgust, "the sex-crazed morons you see in most movies."
Why is she committed to kids? "It's an interesting time of life. Feelings are more dramatic, ideals are slamming up against the walls of compromise. They have more feelings than any other segment of society, but they are more afraid of showing their feelings than any other segment."
The character of Rusty-James is heavy with teenage anomie, but he's basically a sweet guy. Dillon concedes autobiographical overtones, but stops at the leather-jacketed, James Dean iconography. "Of course, you know that Rumble Fish is glorified. I never got my head smashed in by a crowbar, like Rusty-James does. Kids I knew really got into the book, but it wasn't their life. We weren't poor. Sometimes being from the middle class is not great either. You're in the middle again. You can't complain that you've been too spoiled, and you can't complain that you've never had anything. That's why in The Outsiders it says that things can be rough all over for kids."

Libyans hold massive march against militias
BENGHAZI, Libya — Around 30,000 Libyans marched through the eastern city of Benghazi today in an unprecedented protest to demand the disbanding of powerful militias in the wake of last week's attack that killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans.
The attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, in which at least one militia is suspected of participating, has sparked a backlash among many Libyans against the multiple armed factions that have run rampant for months in cities around the country.
The militias have become more powerful than the regular security forces, and successive governments since last year's fall of Moammar Gadhafi have been unable to rein them in.
The militias, which are the legacy of the "revolutionary brigades" that fought Gadhafi in the civil war, have taken on roles as security, guarding state facilities and neighborhoods, but they also are accused of acting like gangs, detaining people, intimidating critics and clashing in the streets.

No doubt the captain, for whatever reasons that he had, thought he would/could make it. And, to me and lots of others, we don't understand why....on the surface it seems to be such a foolish decision. Or maybe a case of macho...i.e. it's nothing major, we can handle it.

White House lawyer replacing retiring CIA deputy
WASHINGTON CIA Deputy Director Michael Morell is stepping down and being replaced by White House lawyer Avril Haines, who will be the first woman to hold the post.
When President Barack Obama named a successor to former CIA Director David Petraeus in January, Morell was passed over in favor of the White House counterterrorism adviser, John Brennan. Morell had been acting director since Petraeus' resignation.
Morell, 54, announced his retirement Wednesday, saying he will leave his CIA post Aug. 9. The White House announced he has been appointed to the President's Intelligence Advisory Board, a group of mostly retired intelligence officers who advise the president on intelligence policy.
"While I have given everything I have to the Central Intelligence Agency and its vital mission for a third of a century, it is now time for me to give everything I have to my family," Morell said in a statement released Wednesday by the agency.
Morell is retiring after 33 years at the CIA, including two stints as acting director - during the last stint he managed the fallout inside the agency after Petraeus resigned over an extramarital affair. Morell ordered an internal investigation into his former boss' conduct that is ongoing.
"I was most looking forward to ... the opportunity to work side-by-side once again with Michael Morell," said Brennan, noting that they'd begun their careers at the CIA in 1980. "As much as I would selfishly like to keep Michael right where he is for as long as possible, he has decided to retire to spend more time with his family and to pursue other professional opportunities."
Haines, 43, has been a White House deputy assistant and deputy counsel for national security affairs since 2010. Before that, she was assistant legal adviser for treaty affairs at the State Department, according to a White House statement.
Haines had been nominated to serve as the State Department's legal adviser earlier this year, but Brennan chose her for the deputy post when Morell made clear that he was retiring.
Brennan said that Haines had participated in virtually every senior-level meeting at the president's National Security Council over the past two years and chairs the White House legal team that reviews the CIA's most sensitive programs.
"In every instance, Avril's command of substance, sense of mission, good judgment, and keen insights have been outstanding," Brennan said in his statement announcing the personnel changes.
Morell bore the brunt of defending before Congress the CIA's performance after the attack on the diplomatic outpost in Benghazi, Libya, last September, which killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans.
"Each time, his testimony has been thorough and forthright," said the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger of Maryland.
Morell did the final edit of the controversial "talking points" memo meant to describe to the public what happened in that attack. Emails exchanged by administration officials that week show Morell deleted references to the CIA warning the State Department of previous militant attacks in Benghazi.

Over one lakh candidates of the Combined Pre-medical Test (UPCPMT-2014) went back acutely distressed from their examination centres all over Uttar Pradesh on Sunday after the question paper was leaked. The leak was detected in Ghaziabad minutes before the exam was set to begin.
Chief minister Akhilesh Yadav has ordered a high-level probe into the case. The UP STF would be investigating the matter. But, the state BJP chief has demanded a CBI inquiry into the paper leak.
As many as 1.10 lakh candidates were to appear at 213 centres in 15 cities in the state in the test being conducted by the world-renowned King George Medical University (KGMU), Lucknow. The exam will now be held a month later on July 20. Dates for the results, counseling sessions and joining colleges will be declared later. The test is for admission in state-run medical and dental institutes offering about 1,000 MBBS and a few hundred dental seats.
The test was cancelled after Ghaziabad district administration officials, along with those from local police and KGMU discovered tampering of the sealed paper boxes containing the question papers. Officials, however, did not clarify whether any papers were missing from the tampered boxes.
KGMU immediately ran a flash on their website saying, "The district magistrate Ghaziabad has prima facie declared that there is tampering in the boxes of CPMT-2014 exam. The exam has been rescheduled for July 20." AK Singh, the KGMU examination controller also announced the news before media channels.
The abrupt postponement of the exam created great confusion at the examination centres throughout the state, and left thousands of candidates, who had travelled from distant places for the test, angry and frustrated.
"My son took an expensive flight from Mumbai just to appear in this test. But now the entire effort and a lot of money has gone down the drain," said a rather anguished RK Srivastava at an exam centre in Lucknow, where around 25,000 students were to take the test at 43 centres.
The BJP was quick to pounce on the issue, demanding a CBI inquiry into the incident. "Who took the decision to keep the papers at the bank instead of the government treasury?" asked UP unit chief LK Bajpayee. "There is a clear conspiracy in the cavalier manner the authorities involved have handled the safety and security of the question papers," he added. "This is not possible without political backing or involvement of some big fish," he said.
The BJP also demanded that the state government reimburse the fare as well as the cost of food and lodging to candidates who suffered for no fault of theirs.
Sources tell dna that in a rather surprising deviation, the question papers this time were kept in two banks in Ghaziabad instead of the strong room of the government as has always been the practice. "The papers were kept at SBI and Allahabad Bank. What we find extremely fishy is that there was no CCTV surveillance at SBI," said an STF official involved in the investigation. "Also, the papers were delivered through a private courier who did not even care to get a receiving from the bank," he added. The STF's preliminary probe has also revealed another gaping hole – no one from the KGMU was present at the time when the papers were delivered at the bank.

California city building "tsunami-resistant" port
"It's tsunami-resistant, not tsunami-proof," Stover said.
Construction has been marked by one delay after another. Government funding was slow, and a custom-built drill bit for installing the extra-strength pilings deep in bedrock broke. So authorities switched to installing temporary docks the old-fashioned way, by pounding in the pilings, to get them through the winter. Many of the 60 commercial fishing boats based in Crescent City are still mooring in the outer harbor. Others have to make do without water or electricity.
The March 2011 tsunami was a wake-up call for communities up and down the West Coast. Many improved tsunami evacuation plans and held mock evacuations.
But some experts say the West Coast is still not taking the threat seriously enough.
"Many ports on the West Coast are in denial as to their tsunami hazard," said Costas Synolakis, professor of civil and environmental engineering and director of the Tsunami Research Center at the University of Southern California.

India today said it will continue to build pressure on Pakistan to ensure that a case is registered against Jamaat-ud Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed in the Mumbai attack case.
"We are concerned immediately with the terror attack on Mumbai. As long as that doesn't find any place in FIR, India certainly would impress upon Pakistan," External Affairs Minister S M Krishna said in Turkmenistan.
He said Pakistan must bring to justice the perpetrators of the attack on Mumbai.
Pakistan has filed two cases against Saeed for inciting people for jehad and inviting donations for the same. However, no mention has been made in the FIRs to Mumbai attacks, for which India holds him responsible.
India has been saying that it has given ample proof about Saeed's involvement in Mumbai attacks but Pakistan maintains that there is no evidence against him.
To a question on Chinese incursions, Krishna said it would be "in the larger interest" of both India and China to resolve the boundary issue so that "peace and tranquillity" on the border is maintained.

East Oakland, California, a place known for danger and crime. Many view this place as the killing field, where young African American males are statically more likely to end up either dead or in jail. While this statistic maybe true for the majority of people, there is nothing further than the truth for Rookie of the Year Damian Lillard.
Lillard who grew up in Oakland, was always one to exceed expectations and not settle for average. This began while in high school, where Lillard was an average player at the local power house, St. Joseph Notre Dame, which is the alma matter of all star Jason Kidd. Mostly ignored as a player, Lillard strived to be better and ultimately transferred to Oakland High, where he flourished as player averaging 28 points a game.
Despite his success at Oakland High, Lillard was once again snubbed by colleges who passed up the opportunity to recruit Lillard, which led to him ultimately attending Weber State University in Utah. While at Weber State, Lillard exceeded expectations once again and showed that he means business, however he was mostly overlooked during his college career and was not considered a serious draft contender.
However, Lillard did not let this deter him from performing his best. Following his senior year, Lillard continued to excel and after completing work outs he was ultimately projected as a top ten draft pick. Lillard was eventually picked sixth overall and the rest is now history. After a year of success, Lillard now looks to build upon his success from the previous season and continue to excel.
Although some skeptics may feel Lillard may go into a sophomore slump, however I disagree. Expect him to be explosive and improve as a player. I expect Lillard to once again beat the odds, as he has done on multiple occasions and not only improve as a player but assist his team in improving. With the added support expect Rip City to improve to about 45 wins for the 2013-14 season.

Writing Portable Device Drivers
Almost all Linux kernel device drivers work on more than just one type of processor. This only happens because device-driver writers adhere to a few important rules. These rules include using the proper variable types, not relying on specific memory page sizes, being aware of endian issues with external data, setting up proper data alignment and accessing device memory locations through the proper interface. This article explains these rules, shows why it is important that they be followed and gives examples of them in use.
One of the most basic rules to remember when writing portable code is to be aware of how big you need to make your variables. Different processors define different variable sizes for int and long data types. They also differ in specifying whether a variable size is signed or unsigned. Because of this, if you know your variable size has to be a specific number of bits, and it has to be signed or unsigned, then you need to use the built-in data types. The following typedefs can be used anywhere in kernel code and are defined in the linux/types.h header file:
u8 unsigned byte (8 bits) u16 unsigned word (16 bits) u32 unsigned 32-bit value u64 unsigned 64-bit value s8 signed byte (8 bits) s16 signed word (16 bits) s32 signed 32-bit value s64 signed 64-bit value
For example, the i2c driver subsystem has a number of functions that are used to send and receive data on the i2c bus:
s32 i2c_smbus_write_byte(struct i2c_client *client, u8 value); s32 i2c_smbus_read_byte_data(struct i2c_client *client, u8 command); s32 i2c_smbus_write_byte_data(struct i2c_client *client, u8 command, u8 value);All of these functions return a signed 32-bit value and take an unsigned 8-bit value for either a value or command parameter. Because these data types are used, this code is portable to any processor type.
If your variables are going to be used in any code that can be seen by user-space programs, then you need to use the following exportable data types. Examples of this are data structures that get passed through ioctl() calls. Once again they are defined in the linux/types.h header file:
__u8 unsigned byte (8 bits) __u16 unsigned word (16 bits) __u32 unsigned 32-bit value __u64 unsigned 64-bit value __s8 signed byte (8 bits) __s16 signed word (16 bits) __s32 signed 32-bit value __s64 signed 64-bit value
For example, the usbdevice_fs.h header file defines a number of different structures that are used to talk to USB devices directly from user-space programs. Here is the definition of the ioctl that is used to send a USB control message to the device:
struct usbdevfs_ctrltransfer { __u8 requesttype; __u8 request; __u16 value; __u16 index; __u16 length; __u32 timeout; /* in milliseconds */ void *data; }; #define USBDEVFS_CONTROL_IOWR('U', 0, struct usbdevfs_ctrltransfer)One thing that has caused a lot of problems, as 64-bit machines are getting more popular, is the fact that the size of a pointer is not the same as the size of an unsigned integer. The size of a pointer is equal to the size of an unsigned long. This can be seen in the prototype for get_zeroed_page():
extern unsigned long FASTCALL (get_zeroed_page(unsigned int gfp_mask))get_zeroed_page() returns a free memory page that has already been wiped clean with zeros. It returns an unsigned long that should be cast to the specific data type that you need. The following code snippet from the drivers/char/serial.c file in the rs_open() function shows how this is done:
static unsigned char *tmp_buf; unsigned long page; if (!tmp_buf) { page = get_zeroed_page(GFP_KERNEL); if (!page) return -ENOMEM; if (tmp_buf) free_page(page); else tmp_buf = (unsigned char *)page; }There are some native kernel data types that you should use instead of trying to use an unsigned long. Some of these are: pid_t, key_t, gid_t, size_t, ssize_t, ptrdiff_t, time_t, clock_t and caddr_t. If you need to use any of these types in your code, please use the given data types; it will prevent a lot of problems.
As we saw above in the example taken from drivers/char/serial.c, you can ask the kernel for a memory page. The size of a memory page is not always 4KB of data (as it is on i386). If you are going to be referencing memory pages, you need to use the PAGE_SHIFT and PAGE_SIZE defines.
PAGE_SHIFT is the number of bits to shift one bit left to get the PAGE_SIZE value. Different architectures define this to different values. Table 1 shows a short list of some architectures and the values of PAGE_SHIFT and the resulting value for PAGE_SIZE.
Table 1. Some Architectures and the Values of PAGE_SHIFT and the Resulting Value for PAGE_SIZE
Even on the same base architecture type, you can have different page sizes. This depends sometimes on a configuration option (like IA-64) or is due to different variants of the processor type (like on ARM).
The code snippet from drivers/usb/audio.c in Listing 1 shows how PAGE_SHIFT and PAGE_SIZE are used when accessing memory directly.

Why all the kernel drivers
This is a fine article on kernel drivers, but why write all these things as kernel drivers? The I2C interface (and the USB interface) both provide for access to devices from user-space. For many devices, this is all that is needed. Yes for file systems and network, etc. a kernel driver is needed, but why clutter up the kernel for every gadget that comes along?

Highlight welfare programmes of Government, YSR tells partymen
Hyderabad: The executive committee of the APCC at its meeting here on Tuesday decided to direct District Congress Committees to adopt a `select and elect' policy in the forthcoming panchayat elections and also arrive their own arrangements as far as the alliances were concerned.
The hour-long meeting was chaired by APCC president K. Keshava Rao, and attended by Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy and Member of Parliament N. Janardhan Reddy and Ministers -- B. Satyanarayana, M. Satyanarayana Rao, K. Ramakrishna and Mohd. Ali Shabbir. Party leaders agreed that unity was paramount for winning the elections.
APCC plenary
Dr. Rajasekhara Reddy reportedly asked the party to highlight the `welfare State concept of the Congress Government' in its campaign. Indiramma programme to provide a range of benefits to the poor in urban and rural areas, increased pension of Rs.200 each for widows, aged and handicapped and low interest rates on loans to SHGs were vote-catching slogans, he said.
It was decided to hold the APCC plenary on May 14 to mark the completion of two years in office by the party.
Kisan meet
A `kisan meet' will be organised by the kisan cell of the party here on April 30.
