text: rstrong. I am not against change. I am however against changing a great event based on speculation that it will make another event great. After last years debacle with Nationals Duals I am hesitant to trust any proposal put together by the NWCA. Especially the way they do business. If they change their ways and do things in complete transparency and the proposal then passes, I will back it and not bitch.

Priceline's Ex-CFO $3 Million Loan Excused
The loan was given a 6.8 percent APR, and the fact that the company won't pursue repayment from Miller is circumspect to her departure. Analysts are quick to comment that a financially stressed company like Priceline normally wouldn't take an action like this, especially since her contract did not require forgiving the loan should she depart.
In a statement, the company says that it has forgiven the loan based on an employment agreement, and could only have done so if there were a change of "control, death, disability, the end of its five-year term, dismissal for other than cause or her departure for a narrowly defined good reason."
The good reasons are defined as "a material reduction of her duties, assignment of responsibilities inconsistent with her position, her removal from an officer's position or from Priceline's board, relocation of Priceline's Connecticut executive offices more than 35 miles away, and exclusion from bonus plans."
Still, it isn't clear that any of the "good reasons" occurred, and certainly none of the other changes outlined happened.

The Bruins are off to a torrid start in 2013, and their play up the middle has been a big reason for that success.
NESN's Jack Edwards and Andy Brickley broke down the team's depth at center during Bruins Face-Off LIVE, both agreeing that the B's are among the best in the NHL at the position. Patrice Bergeron's well-rounded play on the second line has made him a favorite for the Selke Trophy yet again, while first-line center David Krejci has been the team's leading point-scorer thus far with four goals and nine assists.
To see more of Jack and Brick's breakdown, check out the video above.

LITTLE MOUNTAIN — Little Mountain Town Council is continuing efforts to improve the Rocky Branch Natural area in town and are recruiting the assistance of the Boy Scouts.
The Little Mountain Boy Scouts troop is looking for Eagle Scout projects and the troops are looking to build benches for the trail. The benches must be built by April 1, according to Mayor Jana Jayroe.
The town will decide where to place the benches but the scouts will build and place them as directed.
Jayroe also said that the Rocky Branch trail must have some kind of deck, according to the grant. She said that $7,000 must go to constructing a deck with a 50 percent match by the town. Bids will be taken for the work.
Council will have a called meeting at 4 p.m. Jan. 20 at the trail head to observe possible sites for the placement of the deck, Jayroe said.
The trail, given to the town by former council member Roxie Derrick, allows walking opportunities and is compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act, which allows ease of access for disabled persons to some of the trail.
In park news, Councilman Jeff Jefcoat said that the current Children's Park needs to be cleaned up and asked if the park could grow into a natural area. Council members agreed but will discuss at future meetings.
It was also mentioned that there could be safety or liability issues because of a drainage area by the park. Jefcoat said that the local fire department could burn the limbs and some of the rubbish in the park.
Jayroe also brought up the Louie C. Derrick Center's unfinished portion of the library. She suggested turning a window into a doorway or somehow bringing a door to the library part because the interior room has no exits to the outside.
She also pointed out that as people donate books to the library, they shouldn't donate books they know could be taken out. The town cannot afford to have a librarian attend to the library portion of the center so people may come and go with books.
The other part of the center serves as a meeting place as well as a senior center where any senior citizen or person with a disability from around the county can come and eat lunch or do some sort of activity.

Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi Friday intensified his attack on BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, saying his claims on development were false and magnified.
Addressing an election rally at Akbarpur, in Ambedkar Nagar district, Rahul said: "In Gujarat the textile industry got closed and farmers are dying of hunger. What development are they (BJP talking about?"
In an attempt to boost Congress' prospects in the Hindi heartland, Rahul promised that if Congress is elected to power it would extend its right to food programme to Uttar Pradesh.
"The UPA ensured that children throughout the country get food, but the Samajwadi Party did not implement the programme in UP fearing this might help the Congress in election. But once we are voted to power, we will ensure UP too benefits from the scheme," Rahul said.
Earlier in the day, Rahul addressed a rally in Doda, Jammu, and attacked Modi over his personal life. He said Modi had not once mentioned his wife's name in the past. "Narendra Modi has fought many elections in the past, but not once did he disclose the name of his wife nor even admit he is married," Rahul said.
Modi wrote Jashodaben as the name of his wife in an affidavit while filing his nomination papers in Vadodara, Gujarat for the Lok Sabha election.
"Though their (BJP) posters say in Delhi that they stand for the rights and respect of women, we have a chief minister putting all his efforts on work to spy on a woman," Rahul added, alluding to the reported tracking and stalking of a young woman architect in Gujarat, allegedly on instructions from the chief minister's office. The incident was dubbed 'Snoopgate' by sections of the media.
The Gandhi scion told the rally that his ancestors belonged to Jammu and Kashmir. "I am originally from here because my ancestors belonged to Jammu and Kashmir," he said, referring to his great grandfather Jawaharlal Nehru's origins.
"We fight elections by uniting the people, while the Bharatiya Janata Party fights elections by dividing them," he added.
He appealed people of Udhampur constituency to vote for the Congress candidate, union minister and former state chief minister, Ghulam Nabi Azad.
Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, Azad and president of state Congress unit, Saif-ud-Din Soz accompanied him.

Apparently referring to a person in authority in the third person when talking to them is not just a Jewish thing.
I was awfully confused when my student who was here before referred to "the professor." After the second time, I realized she was talking about me and not asking a general question about how professors do things.
She's Polish.
That explains it.
And she does the stupid commas-instead-of-decimals thing that makes it a bitch to grade exams.
There's gotta be a Polish joke in there somewhere.
And I could make it, because I'm of Polish descent. So ha.

Glee- Write 2x09
Dec. 9th, 2010 @ 10:08 am
Right, so yet another episode of Glee has frustrated me to the point that I ended up doing a re-write. Not this past week's silly Christmas episode, but the episode from the week before. Dunno if any of you are interested, but just in case, I'm posting it here and I'm putting the rest under a cut in case any of you are behind on the show.

Glee, As Done By Me
Sep. 28th, 2010 @ 11:52 am
I've had strange relationships with TV shows before. As many of you know, in the final years of both
, I continued to be obsessed with both shows, but all of the love I'd had for them had turned into hate. I didn't "love to hate" them, since I hated hating them, but I also couldn't stop watching. It was weird. And annoyed a lot of people.
, it's different. I love the show and I'm completely obsessed with it (to the level of reading fanfic, although that's mostly just smutty Puck stuff because, rowr, Puck.) And I hate it. Simultaneously. The level of hate I sometimes feel for it is, of course, directly proportionate to how much I sometimes love it. If I didn't love some of it so much, I couldn't also hate it as fiercely.
The main issues are twofold: First is the wasted potential. The show has the promise of being awesome; a genius black comedy musical spectacle drama in the style of
Moulin Rouge
with a little more happy optimism and a little less disease and death. Tonally, they claim it's a happy, good-hearted show about flawed, but generally well-intentioned people; but more often it feel like the show is actually a mean-spirited one about terrible people who occasionally do something nice by accident.
The other problem is the show's popularity -- not just with fans, but with critics. The slavish praise and accolades (and awards) the show receives just make the problems with it that much more stark for me.
And there are soooooo many problems. Too many to really go into here in one entry, but at the top of the pile is the completely illogical, irrational, and inconsistent behavior of the characters from week to week. It drives me batty. Fans of the show get very sensitive to criticism, and often fight back that this isn't a show that where one should expect "gritty realism." Well no, of course it isn't. Neither is
, but that show manages to be fun and silly and completely ridiculous while still sticking to the rules of the game within the silly world it's created. On
you can get a pretty good handle on the characters, who don't need to swing around wildly in personality just to fit that week's set list.
And the thing is – it's so easy to fix. All it takes is a bit of time and care, but the writing for this show is, too often, just plain sloppy and lazy. On the other hand, when it's not sloppy and lazy, it can be brilliant. Like, I'll think of certain scenes on the train and just start grinning like an idiot. It's confusing and frustrating. The end result is that I'm not willing to stop watching and give up the good because of the bad. Instead, I constantly feel this urge to just…fix it.
So I considered doing a re-write of the entire first season, but I ended up being way too lazy to do it. I still have a bunch of stuff rewritten in my head, but I doubt I'll ever put it to paper because it's too overwhelming at this point.
The second season started last week, though, and of course right there in the first episode -- which was overall pretty decent -- were some major glaring problems. So, figuring it's easier to do this episode by episode, I went ahead and fixed them for my own sanity, and I'm posting it here in case anyone feels the same frustration I do.

So I think I deserve some kind of award for managing to keep a completely straight face whilst having the following conversation with my boss.
(In regards to our out-of-order shredder.)
Mr. Boss Man: Did you call tech support? What did they say?
Me: They said we should try to use a vacuum to clean out the underside of the motor.
MBM: Can we get a vacuum from the building?
Me: Yes, but their vacuums don't have hose attachments. We need a hose. Or maybe we could try a dust buster.
MBM: What if I brought in a fan? Do you think that would work?
Me: I don't think so. It...kind of does the opposite.
MBM: Oh. You think it needs to suck or to blow?
Me: It needs to suck.
MBM: Not blow.
Me: No, not blow.
MBM: So we need something that will suck.
Me: ...Yes.

» At Least No One Carded Me
I spent this past Shabbos in New Jersey at the home of the aunt and uncle whose daughter got married last Sunday and met many new people at the meals from the groom's side of the family. I had variations on this conversation at least three times.
Them: Where did you go to High School?
Me: Um. Shulamith?
Them: Oh, nice. What are you studying?
Me: Oh, I work.
Them: Oh. Did you go to Israel for Seminary?
Me: Yep.
Them: Which school?
Me: Oh, it was called "Bnos Rochel" but it closed down a long time ago.
Them: It...what?
Me: It was only open for a short time and closed the year after mine. This was ages ago.
Them: But...but...how old are you?
Me: Thirty-one.
Them: *chokes*
Heh. I do enjoy the looks on people's faces. I don't really think I look *that* young (College age? Really?) but in the Orthodox community I think just having non-covered hair automatically makes a person seem younger. To demonstrate (for those not on Facebook), here are a couple of pictures of me wearing the aforementioned newly wedded cousin's wig. Obviously the darker hair also adds to the aging effect, but I think if I wore a wig closer to my own color I'd still immediately look a good 5-10 years older -- which is to say, my age. In trying on other wigs throughout my life I had always thought that I'd look terrible and washed out in dark hair, but with this style it's actually not bad. Better than my natural color which is ashy and dull. Mostly I once again enjoyed the shocked looks and double takes from my family when they saw me in it. I'm so easily amused.
I think it's a bit Rachel Berry. Maybe if I wear it, Puck will want to do me.

» Mmm...Nutella.
So I'm back from my trip to Europe.
What trip to Europe? The one I only just realized I never mentioned here. Oops.
So Tseeps and I went on a two-week trip I nicknamed "Fritzelux," because it included parts of France, Switzerland, and Luxembourg. We also ended up adding about a half hour in Germany, so maybe it should have been "Fritzegermelux." The first leg was the French Riviera, basing ourselves in Nice. Then we detoured to Geneva and Basel for a few days before basing ourselves in Strasbourg to explore the Alsace-Lorraine region as well as Luxembourg. It was nice. It was...not our best trip. Remember how so many things went wrong before the trip to London/Belgium and how everything just ended up working out? Yeah, not so much on this trip. No trip ever goes off without a hitch, but this one seemed hitchier than normal and all the little crises and the crankiness tended to weigh us down. Hotels lied to us about their amenities. Things were forgotten. Things were lost. People and things we hoped to see were not seen.
Which isn't to say it was bad; some parts were super awesome (including the Best Museum Ever in Basel) some parts were relaxing (mostly on Shabbos) and we of course had those moments of hysterical, uncontrollable laughter. We learned that in France, every place that produces or sells something becomes an "erie." You've heard of boulangeries and pattisseries, but we also saw couscouseries, bagageries, biscuiteries, etc. We discovered that, quite awesomely, Geneva and Basel have fountains with clean drinking water pretty much everywhere you look so you never have to buy bottled water. We found AMAZING kosher croissants with Nutella in them in Strasbourg. We walked to Germany and back in less than an hour. We met a cute, smart, interesting Jewboy whom we will never see again. We "french-kissed" about 10 other girls. We ate green flan. We slept with Jesus.
Um. So anyway! I don't know if I'm going to manage a full trip log like the last couple, but if I do it'll probably take me a while. I took over 3,000 pictures and it'll be hard to narrow them down. Because I hate most of them. It's a combination of often being too tired to try to get a good shot, not being that great a photographer to begin with, and the fact that, as I just discovered, my lens was smudged for most of the trip. Also, judging by pictures, I'm awkward, hunchbacked, and a bit ugly. I got some nice pictures of Tseeps because she makes a great model and I think I *am* actually pretty good at people shots, but she probably won't let me post most of them because she doesn't like the way she looks. Because she's crazy.
If I don't do a full trip log, I hope to at least do something smaller where I post a few picture highlights and tell some stories. In the meantime, here's a picture of us doing the Can-Can in Cannes to tide you over.

» Effing Beautiful Season
A Poem: By Me, written on the subway this morning
"The Heartache of Spring"
Gifts of green leaves, cherry blossoms blooming
Tulips spring out from their roots
But Spring brings no joy to this girl every year
'cuz it's too cold for sandals, too hot for boots
Blessed with long sunlit days, for we sprung up ahead
It's late when we light Shabbos candles
But for me longer days mean more stressful hours
That are too hot for boots, too cold for sandals
Heel liners just scratch me, band-aids don't help
Cute flats are totally moot
Hundreds of dollars thrown out in the search
For a shoe neither sandal nor boot
I sit on the subway, surveying the crowd
Some read kindles, another panhandles
None seem to share in my suff'ring and woe
That it's too hot for boots, too cold for sandals
My toes squeezed to death while my heels pop on out
Up my shins the pain frequently shoots
Cursed be these beautiful days!
When it's too cold for sandals, too hot for boots
Oh, some rue the day that Franco took Spain
Or Rome was sacked by the Vandals
Me? I just rue these lovely Spring days
When I can't wear my boots or my sandals

Palestinians Riot to Protest Synagogue Reopening
Is this Synagogue in Gaza? The West Bank? Is it even in the Arab neighborhoods of East Jerusalem? No, it is not. It is in the Old City of Jerusalem, in the main square of the
Jewish Quarter.
The synagogue is one of many that the Jordanians destroyed (after promising not to) when the Israelis lost East Jerusalem to the Jordanians in the '48 War of Independence and all of the Jews were evacuated from the Old City and *barred* from entering it -- which meant that from 1948 until 1967 Jews could not even go to the Western Wall, Judaism's holiest site. By contrast, when the Israelis gained control of the Old City and East Jerusalem in 1967, they handed control of the Temple Mount (where the Dome of the Rock and Al Aqsa Mosque are) to the Arab Waqf. In the years since Israel has had control, Muslims have been able to pray peacefully on the Temple Mount, (whereas if Jews like Ariel Sharon even *walk* on it it starts an Intifada), their sacred shrines and mosques protected by Israel.
"In a speech Monday in Syria, senior Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal said Palestinians need to take to the streets to protect Jerusalem and its Islamic and Christians shrines."
You're rioting like lunatics over the opening of a Synagogue and claiming that *your* shrines need to be protected? Your shrines *are* protected, you stupid, fucking bastard. You're the ones reacting violently to the re-opening of a historic synagogue (originally built in the 1700s) that your people destroyed for no reason other than pure hatred.
"He also warned the international community that Israel is "playing with fire" that could lead to a regional blowup."
By opening a Synagogue? How stupid are people to give any credence to this shit?

» How I Met Matt Bomer
A comment on my last post reminded me that I never told you all about how I met Matt Bomer. Some of you saw the pics on Facebook, but I never actually told the whole story.
For those who don't even know who Matt Bomer is...what Matt Bomer is, is HOT. Scorchingly, achingly, jaw-droppingly hot. So hot, one wonders how the universe doesn't implode from that much hotness being contained in one human being. It's just not normal. It's not *natural.* How can it be? But it is.
Don't believe me? Behold.
Hubbah. Hubbah. And that picture doesn't even show his shocking blue eyes.
Matt first caught my attention when he played Bryce Larkin on
I was struck by his looks of course, but in only a few episodes scattered throughout the first two seasons, I also grew to love the character and was really sad when it became clear he wouldn't be returning for the third season. What was great about Bryce was that, he was this super-cool, super-hot spy (whom Chuck always compared himself unfavorably to) but he was also a genuinely good guy who cared about Chuck and didn't act entitled or arrogant. One thing the show does well is take characters you should hate (because they're so perfect) and refusing to bow to cliches so that characters like Bryce, Awesome, and Cole are all likable when they really shouldn't be.
Matt's character on his new show
White Collar
is similar in that, despite his looks and his charm (and his amazing wardrobe which hangs on him in a way that makes you think clothing didn't know what to do with itself before it met Matt Bomer) he manages to come off as a sweet person you can't help but love. His character is a high-class thief who's allowed out of prison (albeit with a tracking anklet) in order to work with the FBI to catch white collar criminals, and his partner Peter (played by Tim Dekay) is the agent who caught him. Neal is far more vulnerable and warm-hearted than Bryce and the show's strength is the fabulous relationship between him and Peter. Some have called it a "bromance" but I see it as more of a father/son vibe. Anyway, it's adorable. The second best thing about the show is that it films in New York, and goes to great pains to highlight the city as much as possible. It's like NYC porn. Some time ago, Tseeps and I joked that we should scout their filming locations and go stalk them.
A few days later, I met
Matt Bomer.

|First appearance:
|"Krabs à la Mode"
|Latest appearance:
|"Chum Bucket Supreme"
|Bill Fagerbakke (Hockey Player #1)

|List of characters
The Bikini Bottom Hockey Team is the local hockey team in Bikini Bottom. They are a group of large fish that have appeared in two episodes: "Chum Bucket Supreme" and "Krabs à la Mode." Bikini Bottom Hockey Team could refer to the ones on TV or the Chum Bucket in the books or the Jellyfishers in the books.
Clancy Brown and Bill Fagerbakke each portrayed one of the players.
|Role(s) in episode
|"Krabs à la Mode" (tr)
|When the Krusty Krab froze and became an ice rink, the hockey team paid Krabs to practice there.
|"Chum Bucket Supreme" (tr)
|Profits for the Chum Bucket reached the roof with the help of a slogan. The hockey team came to eat the chum and beat up Plankton after he said many horrible comments about the customers.
- Coincidentally, both of their appearances occurred where a restaurant was highly successful.
- They appear to express the habit of tackling people.
- There is no explanation for a hockey team to be residing in Bikini Bottom given that there is rarely snow, unless it is indoor hockey.

California lawmakers pass historic foreclosure protections
Lenders' organizations joined by the California Chamber of Commerce said in a letter to lawmakers on Friday that the final legislation is an improvement, though they still fear it will "encourage frivolous litigation" by borrowers who cannot realistically afford to stay in their homes.
The lending industry cited a study it commissioned by Beacon Economics, a Los Angeles-based research firm. It echoes industry arguments that letting homeowners sue their lenders, even in limited circumstances, will delay foreclosures and increase lenders' costs, potentially harming the shaky housing recovery and making it more difficult and costly to obtain mortgages.
The legislation can't address what lenders say is the underlying problem: too many borrowers can't afford their payments.
"It's a mistake that will hurt this economy for years to come," said Sen. Sam Blakeslee, R-San Luis Obispo, a member of the conference committee.
Supporters of the bill say it still takes important steps.
"The point is ... not to launch an avalanche of lawsuits. What it's really about is having some meaningful accountability to ensure that servicers follow the rules," said Paul Leonard, director of the California office of the Center for Responsible Lending, a consumer group.
Previous efforts have repeatedly failed to clear the Legislature. Leonard said the national mortgage settlement and Harris' involvement are likely to make the difference this year.
Sen. Noreen Evans, D-Santa Rosa, who co-chaired the conference committee that negotiated the bill, said Brown's administration worked with Democrats on the legislation and has given every indication he would sign it into law. However, Brown declined to comment as he left the office of Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, moments before the vote.
The law would not take effect until Jan. 1, though Evans and Harris said they expect lenders would begin following the new rules immediately even if the penalties don't yet apply.

Customized Recovery Programs at Alcohol Rehab Centers in Florida Announced
AlcoholRehabCentersInFlorida.net website recently launched to help those struggling with alcoholism get a fighting chance at recovery.
Miami, Florida (PRWEB) June 04, 2013
A spokesperson for Alcohol Rehab Centers in Florida has announced that their centers will now provide customized solutions to the alcohol addiction or other alcohol related issues of the people in the state.
"There comes a time when prevention is no longer an option for the person who has already developed a dependency on alcohol," she begins. She explains that when working with a new client, "it´s time to look ahead and say, ℠OK, this is where you are, and this is where you want to be. Let´s determine a course of action that will fit into your life.´ There is no ℠one size fits all´ therapy when it comes to treating addiction."
The company´s website, AlcoholRehabCentersInFlorida.net is determined to help people emerge from the "chaos — and quite possibly a place of hopelessness" in which individuals may currently find themselves.
The emphasis is on customization of a treatment program, and ensuring that a client is comfortable going forward. According to the spokesperson, "You would be surprised at how many people do not know what to expect when it comes to the process of withdrawing from alcohol, or what they can expect from alcoholism treatment and recovery to begin with."
The site and staff addresses more than "just long-term, heavy drinkers." They serve everyone from teenagers who have begun binge drinking ("These kids and their families need assistance now, before it turns into a dependency or — worse — a visit from the Sheriff in the middle of the night; every parent´s nightmare."), to elderly individuals who have begun drinking in order to stave off loneliness or other issues.
AlcoholRehabCentersInFlorida.net representatives state that the professionals belonging to their centers have prepared a Performa or questionnaire for clients to complete in total confidentiality. Topics covered include previous history of the patient, sudden mood changes, control issues, any previously diagnosed emotional disorders, anger issues, etc.
Another recent development for Alcohol Rehab Centers in Florida is the availability of additional therapeutic options. If you are ready to move forward and past any alcohol related problems, or if you have concerns about a member of your family, begin by visiting the website at http://AlcoholRehabCentersInFlorida.net to learn more about how they can help.

We upgraded to this dryer from a 13 year old run-of-the-mill electric dryer. I've never owned a gas dryer before, but I'm very impressed. The matching washer already gets our clothes nearly dry, but this gas dryer does great finishing the job. Our clothes come out with less static and feel fluffier. I also love the sound dampening feature. Buttons and zippers are much quieter than with my old dryer. The auto-drying time sensor gets confused sometimes, requiring slightly damp clothes to go for another few minutes. Overall we are very happy with our new gas dryer.

This dryer manages to put the top sheet and fitted sheet into one nice big ball so that what ends up inside the ball never gets dry. Does it with a single blanket as well. Be prepared to have to rearrange the load several times to keep the items open and able to dry.

Comments about Whirlpool 7.4 cu. ft. Stainless Steel Duet Steam Dryer:
Friends with Duets raved about their machines, convincing me to buy these. One has had their pair twelve years, the other two and neither has had service issues.This dryer has performed well on every setting. Sometimes I do have to run it a bit longer to make sure the items are thoroughly dry, usually when I have a number of sweatshirts in the load, but I have had to do that with my old dryer also. It is very quiet, with a nice musical, end of cycle tone (which may be turned off).The steam cycle is well worth the extra money. Originally, I wan't going to I spend the extra money, but I am very happy we did. I have had numerous items I previously would have had to iron come out not needing even a touch up. It also has been great to throw it wrinkled items to have them come out fresh and much less wrinkled.Great Abt delivery, with a number of dates to choose from. The Delivery people call with the approximate time, and then, again when they are 10-15 minutes away. The matching pedestals made the dryer too tall to fit under our cabinets, and so delivery took them with them and we received the credit for the price the next day.
Can't wait to replace washer now!
By Happy in A2
from Ann Arbor, MI, United States
Love this dryer. Had to replace a 10-year old and now can't wait to have to replace the matching washing. This is our first gas dryer, but it seems to be way more efficient and quicker than any dryer we've had before.

Peggle 2 Heading to Xbox One in December
By Matthew Bennett, Associate Editor
Posted on November 4, 2013 AT 02:48am
Posted on November 4, 2013 AT 02:48am
PopCap's casual puzzle game, Peggle 2, is set to release for Xbox One in December , according to PopCap senior director of PR Garth Chouteau.
"Peggle 2 is a 'launch timeframe' title," Chouteau told GamesBeat. "But [it] will not launch day-and-date with the Xbox One — instead, it will become available a few weeks later in December."
Following its reveal during EA's E3 press conference, Microsoft's Phil Spencer revealed that the game would be a timed Xbox One exclusive. The game is set to come to other platforms shortly after its Xbox One release.

Recently the Moms Demand Action - MI Facebook page thanked, with the hashtag #BackgroundChecksSaveLives, state Representative Jim Townsend for introducing legislation that would require a license and a background check in order to purchase, carry, possess or transport any firearm.
The problem is, as is common with "well meaning" freedom opponents, they just don't know what they are talking about, and of course that leads to very real consequences for otherwise good law-abiding people.
In this case, in the spectacular ironic fashion normally indicative of MDA, the most likely law-abiding group to be victimized by this legislation also happens to share the title of mom.
MOC is the premier organization in Michigan promoting the lawful open carry of a holstered handgun. We also seek to enhance other gun rights related to carry for self-defense. We were formed in March of 2009. MOC was started by a group of people on the Michigan Forum of opencarry.org (OCDO). OCDO was started by John Pierce and Mike Stollenwerk in 2004. These men are responsible for revitalizing the growing practice of the open carry of a handgun. Michigan is one of the fastest growing states in regards to the practice of open carrying a handgun. The open carry movement is growing in the U.S., much like the Concealed carry movement has in the last 10 years.

Hillary Clinton slams wildlife trafficking
WASHINGTON (AFP) - United States (US) Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called on Thursday for a stepped up fight against poaching, warning against criminal gangs seeking to satisfy growing demand for ivory and rhino horn.
"Over the past few years wildlife trafficking has become more organized, more lucrative, more widespread, and more dangerous than ever before," the top US diplomat told a meeting at the State Department.
Despite progress over the past three to four decades to clamp down on poaching, growing wealth meant demand was on the rise again.
"As the middle class grows, which we all welcome and support, in many nations items like ivory or rhinoceros horn become symbols of wealth and social status," Ms Clinton said, urging all governments to join the Coalition Against Wildlife Trafficking.

Mark Waters' Vampire Academy is yet another YA fantasy adaptation, a genre that – it seems to me – is finally on the wane. When the Twilight series came to a close, and Harry Potter was long gone, the magic-heavy, chosen-one-centric, teen-intended genre of angsty young people entering a secret world of spells and monsters finally started to contract. There are two remaining films in the Hunger Games series, and they'll make enough money, but I sense – in films like the upcoming Divergent – that audiences are through. It seems to me like YA movies have explored everything they can. Like the superhero genre, all we can hope for at this point is a few entertaining films that repeat what we've seen in a perhaps entertaining way.
I'm happy to report that Vampire Academy is actually a pretty fun little flick that shoots for flip and actually lands there. Indeed, while something like the lugubrious The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones tries really, really hard to look likes its all sexed up and subversive, Vampire Academy actually does feel a little bit naughty. When the story occasionally slows down for the teen characters to have real conversations about real high …read more

New mobile features boost calls to customer service

Mobile-TV vendors politely jockey for positionMay 24, 2006
Wireless phone service subscribers have increased their calls to customer service to an all-time high as they grapple with new and complex services, according to a semiannual study released by J.D. Power and Associates.
In its mid-2006 report, J.D. Power said that 59 percent of wireless phone customers called their service provider within a 12-month period--the highest percentage since 2000, when the researcher began tracking such service inquiries.
"As customers capture still pictures or video, download ring tones, play MP3 files, and even watch TV clips on their wireless phones, they are increasingly likely to call their provider for support," said the report.
People also call, of course, to inquire about their bills. The report stated that 45 percent of customers called about service billing issues, and that 51 percent of those customers called to complain about charges they suspected were incorrect. (The report did not indicate whether the billing inquiries were related to new services.) Thirty-one percent of customer calls were related to call quality on the provider's network.
Not surprisingly, the study showed that customers made most of their service inquiries--74 percent--by phone. The overall increase in customer service requests may have also increased the time callers spend on hold. For the first half of 2006, it took an average of 3.59 minutes to reach a service representative, a 4.3 percent increase over the 3.44-minute average in 2005.
Visiting a retail wireless store was the second-most popular method of requesting help, with 22 percent of customers using that approach. Expect to wait an average of 8 minutes before speaking to someone, the study said. (And that does not include the walk or drive to the store.) Online and e-mail requests were least popular, with 4 percent using that method.
Hold time and "problem resolution efficiency" were also measured to determine overall customer satisfaction. Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile USA ranked as the best in this area, followed by Alltel, Cingular and then Sprint Nextel.
J.D. Power predicts the number of service calls will rise as companies encourage new services, but warns that too many such calls can lead to customer dissatisfaction and defection to other carriers. Jumping to a different carrier is 50 percent more likely among customers who have called customer service, said Kirk Parsons, senior director of wireless services at J.D. Power.

BOISE -- After months of anticipation, specialty food chain Trader Joe's is stocking the shelves and set to open Friday.
Trader Joe's 'Captain' Scott Dudek opened the doors early to give KTVB a sneek peak in the much hyped specialty grocer.

On a night when he stood alone atop the UFC heavyweight division, Brock Lesnar?s behavior -- not his destructive, one-sided victory against Frank Mir -- was the subject of post-fight discussion on Saturday at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.
Lesnar unified the heavyweight championship in only his fifth professional appearance, as he bullied his way to a technical knockout against Mir -- the only man to defeat him -- in the UFC 100 main event. His tirade afterward -- which included a low blow to the UFC?s primary sponsor, Bud Light, waving his middle fingers at the audience, taunting Mir and exposing plans for a post-fight sex romp with his wife -- drew the ire of UFC President Dana White.
The 32-year-old Lesnar claimed he was headed out to drink a Coors Light because Bud Light would not pay him any money. One of the UFC?s highest-paid fighters, he made $450,000 in disclosed pay for his TKO victory against hall of famer Randy Couture at UFC 91 in November.
?I was blown away,? White said. ?I don?t think in the history of the UFC we?ve had anybody do that. It?s not who we are, and, to be honest, it?s not who he is. You hang with these guys personally, and you get to know them. If he was a dick, I?d tell you right now this guy is a psycho and I don?t know what I?m going to do with him. He?s not. He?s a smart guy. The sponsorship thing was the craziest thing I?ve ever heard in my life.?
Lesnar?s antics drudged up memories of his days as a World Wrestling Entertainment superstar, when showboating and pushing the envelope of taste were encouraged and profitable. White claimed he confronted the apologetic champion in his dressing room after he left the Octagon.
?Brock went so far over the top, I can?t even put it into words,? White said. ?WWE -- that?s what it is. We had a talk. We talked like men, and he said he was sorry. He said, ?I?m embarrassed by what I said.? I take his word for it this time.?

Murder of a journalist
The brutal murder in Madhya Pradesh of Chandrika Rai and his family seems to be an open attack on free and fair journalism ("Journalist, family murdered; hand of mining mafia suspected," Feb.20). What is the message? That investigative journalism should not be allowed to have a free run? The plunder of precious resources in India has to be exposed. It is distressing that the government has not initiated any legal action on the strength of the consistent writings of Chandrika Rai.
B. Prabha,
Had there been untruth in Rai's writings, filing a suit in court would have been the proper remedy. Investigative journalism, which has played a key role in exposing major frauds in the country, is an imperative need. Journalists who are involved in this difficult task are always at risk of incurring the wrath of those affected. As such, they need full public support and due protection.
The brutal murder should make society sit up and debate ways and means of breaking the criminal-politician nexus. One can immediately think of Anna Hazare's pressure tactics, with which the establishment was forced to bend. The criminals who murdered Rai must have acted in the knowledge that even if the law catches up with them, they will be protected by their corrupt and influential patrons who will be in a position to manipulate the criminal justice system. One can also think of this being linked to the political system. The condition that only conviction can trigger disqualification from contesting elections is a deliberately planted loophole in the law to facilitate the entry of criminals into legislatures. For, as things stand, the average time taken for conclusion of a criminal trial is about two decades. Decriminalisation of politics is no longer a desirable long-term goal; it has become an absolute and immediate necessity to protect democracy.
V.N. Mukundarajan,
The killing brings back memories of J. Dey's murder that happened a few months ago. Once again the unholy nexus between criminals and politicians is on display. Is it enough to condemn these murders strongly, demand an investigation and then forget about them within a week? If journalists have to pay a heavy price for doing their job, anybody will start thinking twice before joining this profession. The article "For journalists, conflicts are never glamorous," by Pranay Gupte (Feb.20), is both well-timed and unsettling.
Deepa Nagaraj,
Time and again we have seen the brutal murder of various journalists and social activists. In recent years, journalism has become very dynamic and its role is just like that of an investigative agency. It is the duty of the government to provide security to these people who show exemplary courage and fight injustice. What is the use of endless debates on a whistle-blowers Bill? A murder of a whistle-blower has taken place.
Lalit Kumar Bhardwaj,
In today's world, only muscle and money power plays a vital role. Anyone who opposes or expresses correctness is being awarded supari . Dirty politics is the bane of our country.
Vithal G. Deshpande,
Gandhiji's principle of "see no evil, speak no evil and hear no evil" has now changed to "speak no truth, see no truth, hear no truth and also write no truth." In this country, the trend in the media now is to play up frivolous subjects like Bollywood and cricket, and ignore dying farmers, poverty, corruption and criminalisation.
T. Anand Raj,
In recent months, the media and RTI activists have uncovered the mind-boggling extent of scams and allegations of corruption. Journalists and activists deserve safety to life and limb. The corrupt must realise that public perception has changed. The response to the Anna Hazare campaign should be an eye-opener to the corrupt.
K. Ragavan,
If this is what happens to mediamen, what will be the plight of the common man who fights corruption? The incident should galvanise the media to fight back and prove that the "pen is mightier than the sword."
Vinodh Rajadurai K.,
Lights and mercury
The article, "Going green, with a large side order of mercury," (Feb.20) shows the reluctance of the State governments and authorities to confront the challenges in ensuring the safe disposal of such lamps. The onus lies on manufacturers to print information on the harmful effects of mercury on the environment and our health.
Sunay Gupta,
New Delhi
The Ministries of Environment & Forests and Health should place adequate funds at the disposal of civic bodies for initiating segregation of such products in each household. Monetary incentives to hand over such end-of-life products to responsible agencies for safe disposal are necessary.
Dorai Raj K.,
Mid-sea encounter
India can pat itself on the back for its tough diplomatic stand in bringing the two Italian marines to book (Feb. 20). The Italian government also deserves credit for bringing this sordid chapter to an end. In this context, one cannot help wondering about the plight of Tamil fishermen at the hands of the Navy of a neighbouring country, where not a week passes by without an incident of inhuman and wanton violence against them.
A. Thirugnanasambantham,
The External Affairs Ministry needs to be commended for adopting and maintaining its tough stance and letting the law take its course. One could well imagine the hue and cry that would have been raised had Indian marines committed a similar offence in the territorial waters of another country. The picture on page one (Feb. 20) said it all.
B. Suresh Kumar,
The government should be appreciated for arresting the Italian marines. That the jurisdiction of India is supreme must be ensured.
C. Kamalnath Yadav,
The Italian crew should have contacted the naval authorities in Kochi before the marines acted the way they did. Guidelines need to be framed by India and made clear to all foreign vessels passing the Indian coast.
Shinos T.,
What the Italian marines are alleged to have done is an offence under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code, as also a violation of natural law and human rights. It appears that Italy nurtures the notion that the crew of a vessel can attack other vessels without rhyme or reason.
Suspicion is a state of mind and is subjective. India was powerful enough in apprehending and producing the culprits before its court in spite of international pressure.
It is astonishing that the Italian government has come to the rescue of wrongdoers using outlandish justifications. The attempt to cover up the offence is despicable. This is a violation of basic human rights and national and international laws.
Chittoor Rajamannar,

Airhead electrical Question. Circuit Board
View Single Post
Joined: Apr 2008
Location: Road Island
Oddometer: 5,917
MOST of those connections are just simple multiple-wires-coming-together... if you are concerned, use an ohm-meter and there should be continuity between every pin in the same color code.
The wiring diagram for that model will show the other connections that are made, using the board: the top two center ones are connected by the little ceramic fuse so dear to the germanic engineers, where you have the metal/glass ones: #15 is live, going through the fuse to feed #15U; #58 is live, going through the fuse to feed #58U. (by "live", I mean that they are fed from the ignition switch and are "live" when the switch is "on".. the only real "live all the time" wires in the bucket are the red ones coming to the ignition switch)
You can test the diode with your ohm-meter as well: it connects "LKK" to the brown/yellow right next to it (I can't read your board, am too lazy to go find my Haynes.....
)... Reminder: a diode is an electrical check-valve, or one-way valve: electricity can only flow one way. So, put the leads on either side of the diode, and it should read continuous one way, and not continuous with the leads reversed (red is +, black is -).....
What looks like a hodge-podge is actually VERY simple and quite orderly.
I am vaguely remembering that I could not find the terminal "LKK" in the Haynes manual, but the color coding works, so no matter.
I actually LIKE electrical work and electrical sleuthing (twisted, huh....!), so let me know if I can help in any way.

46 Years Ago: Jim Morrison Turns Himself in to the FBI
Jim Morrison surrendered to the FBI on charges relating to the Doors' infamous Miami concert on April 4, 1969.
Jim Morrison surrendered to the FBI on charges relating to the Doors' infamous Miami concert on April 4, 1969.
Did he or didn't he?
Jim Morrison was already in a headlong downward spiral by the time he performed his final show with the Doors.
Doors frontman Jim Morrison was arrested and maced at a concert on Dec. 9, 1967
A delayed flight leads to big trouble for the Doors frontman.
Jim Morrison's iconic status in the history of rock is hard to dispute. But what goes along with his role as lead singer and primary lyricist for the Doors is his bad boy image – especially when it comes it his run-ins with the law. That's not to say
One of the reasons why 'This is Spinal Tap' continues to resonate is because it's not only heavy metal groups on the downside of their career that experience real-life 'Spinal Tap' stories, but also bands that are trying to make a name for themselves on the road to classic rock immortality. Years before the brain trust behind the movie even came up with the concept, the Doors had a moment that could found its way into the script.
For years now, the easiest way to do a Matthew McConaughey impression has been to imitate his 'Dazed and Confused' character, David Wooderson, by saying "Alright, alright, alright" in a goofy Southern drawl -- something McConaughey himself acknowledged when he uttered those magic words while picking up his Oscar and Golden Globe awards for 'Dallas Buyers Club.' And as it turns out, we have Doors frontman Jim Morrison to thank for all of it.
Well, here's something interesting for Doors fans: According to a recent Craiglist posting, the owner of the Los Angeles building that's said to be Jim Morrison's last known U.S. residence is selling furnishings from his apartment.
Jim Morrison would have turned 70 on Dec. 8, and while it's impossible to imagine what he might have done over the past few decades if he hadn't passed away in 1971, he'd probably have Internet access if he were still alive -- which he could use to stream a trio of free Doors films from Qello.

NEWBERRY — Newberry City Council unanimously approved a $68,294.96 bid from Georgia-based Creative Impressions to move forward with the city's wayfinding project.
The city contracted Roger Motiska of Rodger Motiska Design Inc. last year for the system, which officials hopes will make it easier for visitors to find their way around downtown.
A series of meetings have been held over the past six months to gather input from merchants and citizens alike. The design of the signs and the proposed locations were approved by the focus groups.
Creative Impressions was the second bidder for the project and came in with the lowest bid.
"They are a highly recommended firm," City Manager Al Harvey said.
Assistant City Manager Matt DeWitt told council the bid agreement requires the company to do the installs, which must be completed within 70 days.
In other business, council held the first reading of an ordinance to amend sections 900 sign regulation and section 901 permitted signs to provide for banners on private light posts in the general commercial zoning district, providing for codification and providing for severability; providing for an effective date. A public hearing drew no comments.
The ordinance was initiated by the Planning and Development Services Department staff. Stokes Trainor and Piedmont Technical College currently have vertical banners mounted on private light posts.
Piedmont Tech was granted a variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals, while the banner at Stokes Trainor was considered as non-conforming, according to Ward Braswell, director of planning and development.
The reason for the proposed zoning text amendment is to regulate the size and intervals for vertical banners, said Mayor Foster Senn. The current zoning ordinance does not contain text concerning these types of signs.
According to Braswell, once City Council passes second reading, these banners will be conforming and will be able to be replaced without city approval as long they meet the guidelines of two vertical banners per acre, no more than 21 square feet in area, minimum ratio of 2:1 height to width, installed at a minimum height of 9 feet above grade and no higher than 25 feet above grade, and must be spaced at least 40 feet apart. Banners may be grouped in pairs flanking a light pole.
In other business:
• Harvey told council members they were right where they needed to be in expenditures and revenue for the budget, but would know more during upcoming budget sessions.
• Senn and Harvey recognized Angela Summer for her 25 years of service with the city. Summer began her employment on Feb. 20, 1989 and holds the position of Water Plant Superintendent.
In new business:
• Council passed a resolution declaring the month of April as "Fair Housing Month." To continue participating in the Community Development Block Grant Program, local governments are required to demonstrate a commitment to supporting fair housing. The resolution says that the city rejects discrimination. "We're happy to do that every year," Senn said.
• City Council's April council meeting was moved from April 8 to April 15 due to conflicts of the majority of council.
• A work session pertaining to the Capital Improvement Plan for the city of Newberry will be held at 5:30 p.m. April 1o.
• Jackie Swindler reminded council and those present that Newberry's first half-marathon is Saturday. Race organizer Mark Baumgartner is expecting over 300 people to arrive at Newberry High School Saturday morning for an 8 a.m. start. Swindler asked drivers to approach all intersections with caution as runners will be covering a 13.1 mile course through the city and the county.
