That's governing officials for you; always trying to protect the innocence of youth.
Speaking of "controversial" cartoons, the wife and I have been watching a lot of the older cartoons from the 40's and 50's with the kids. Chip & Dale, Donald Duck, Pluto, Goofy, Tom & Jerry, Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig... There is such a plethora of great "old school" cartoons out there. That being said, I used to enjoy a show on Cartoon Network called "The Tex Avery Hour" which hosted cartoons by a great man in animation (check him out if you haven't). After watching some of his stuff on the Tube of You I can say that he had a lot of things in his cartoons that would be HEAVILY censored in today's PC world. Cigarettes being smoked by animated characters, scantily dressed women in showgirl style night clubs, characters shooting their self in the face... The guy had a brilliant mind for animated humor (especially if you take into account the time he was producing them in) but I think a lot of his work wouldn't live up to the "acceptable" standards that kids cartoons require today; Bright, flashing colors with no point to the show such as Sponge Bob.
Quite a few of these cartoons are thought of as so "touchy" that they even have some corporate representative explaining how "the times back then where so much different and certain things were more acceptable when compared to today". The best example was a Goofy cartoon about Teachers in which a rep for Disney had to explain that back then, no one thought about kids bringing guns to school so to incorporate something like a pellet gun or grenade into the cartoon was understood as being a whacky idea.

As some of you may know, I've written a few pieces of music themed around Disworld characters and scenes. A bit of a hobby I guess.
I've just finished Lords and Ladies and am thinking of writing something based on something or someone in the book (and what a book!).
I thought I'd ask for requests from fellow fans of the series. It would be interesting to hear some thoughts on the subject.
A couple of ideas I had were:
- Theme for Magrat, especially her transformation into the Warrior Queen.
Love theme between Granny Weatherwax and Ridiculy
Love theme for Verence and Magrat
Something for Nanny Ogg
Something for the Elves
Any thoughts are welcome. The weirder the better.

Our Money Clip Card Holder combines the best of both worlds, giving you a money clip and a wallet all in one convenient design. We're all about efficiency and functionality, and we think this item really takes it to a new level! Made from quality leather with hand pleated corners and turned edge construction, our Money Clip Card Holder gives you a money clip for bills on the outside with the design of a bi fold wallet on the inside. We include 3 credit card slots, a multipurpose center pocket for bills or receipts, an interior flap pocket, and an ID window with thumb slide for easy access. It's got room for all your essentials but it's still compact enough to fit right in your front pocket. Cash, cards, and ID all in one small design - that's what our Money Clip Card Holder is made for!
Casual yet distinctive, our Timeless collection is one of our favorites. This leather boasts a polished finish and a soft hand feel, making it a great choice for any leather connoisseur. And with the variety of colors it comes in, it's easy to find a shade that appeals to you or matches with your other accessories. As the name implies, our Timeless collection will hold up through years of use while aging gracefully every step of the way.
Please note: textures in this collection range from light grain to a lightly pebbled grain depending on which part of the hide it's from.
This is the third of the same wallet i have owned. I love them however the clear plastic credit card cover keeps getting brittle and breaks up and my drivers license keeps falling out.
It is still the best folding money clip wallet I've ever owned.
I was searching for a replacement of my coach money clip. Coach was once great, now it makes vastly overpriced, poor quality, ugly products. This money clip with bill fold was well reviewed and looked well made on the website. I chose the premium and I though the the product would be actual premium leather for paying the premium price of $85. When I received it, it looked fine and fairly well made. But in no way worth $85 dollars. I'll use it, but I'll keep looking.
Bought this as a valentine's day present for the hubby. He loves it and has received many compliments on it. Overall I'm very satisfied with the product and turnaround time. I will be ordering from this company again!!!!
Looks rich, great durability.
This is a beautiful money clip made of top quality leather. My boyfriend loved his Christmas gift. The only thing both of us were disappointed about was the monogram being on the side with the clip. Once there is money clipped in you can't see the initials. It should be on the other side or inside.
My boyfriend really enjoyed his new wallet. Best feature is how comfortable it sits in his front pocket;no bulk with plenty of storage space for all if his essentials.
This is the third Leatherology Money Clip Holder that I have purchased. I've had and used my first one for well over a year, and it still looks like near-new. Best are the quality leather, stitching that is still perfect, and the metal clip itself, which has maintained its original spring force, and hasn't weakened from repeated use like other similar products. I highly recommend this product.
I have been shopping from Leatherology for years. The service is excellent and the products are beautiful! love this company!
I just received my first purchase from Leatherology, and was impressed with the quality of the product I ordered, as well as the speed in which I received it, and the care and quality of the packaging. It is a great gift for my husband!
Satisfied with product but order 2 items and only receive one. Still haven't received the second item.
This wallet is beautiful! I can't wait for my husband to see it on Christmas morning! Even my 4 and 6 year old boys were impressed.
This is the second time we purchased this type of wallet. He likes the style and finds it to be the best fit him. He searched a year ago and found it. He got it as a Christmas gift so it held together for a year he is hard on them! Thanks for making such a great product!!!
well crafted smooth leather nicely design
It may be because it is new, but the credit card slots are too tight and removing the card is very difficult.
The money clip is as advertised, the card pockets are perfect and the money clip hold sufficient amount of cash.
Excellent product.
Bought this for my grandson who is just starting to use a money holder, and will soon be using that card slot for his license.
He loved it, and really appreciated the fine leather feel and quality. He especially liked his initials on the money clip which nicely customized this gift just for him.
Great product, beautiful gift packaging and quick delivery.
I've already told my wife where to get my birthday present, so you should be getting a follow up order!
Exactly as advertised. A well made product.
Had a little trouble ordering the wallet with the engraving from the website. Called and the women on the other end of the line was extremely professional and super awesome!! She fixed the problem immediately and told me that the wallet will be out in time for Christmas. Well, sure enough it was and it looked amazing and my husband loves it!! Thank you so much for a great product and super great customer service!!
I bought this for my boyfriend to replace an older version that had started falling apart. It was exactly what he had been looking for. Very happy with the purchase.
This is exactly what he wanted. He has commented several times on how much he likes this instead of a bill fold. Only thing he has to get used to is not having a bulky bill fold in his back pocket. Best gift I could of gotten him.
This replaces a similar money clip from another manufacturer. I carried it for many years and it became very worn looking. This money clips looks great and works very well. It is slim and compact. The card slots are very tight. Thus it is somewhat difficult to remove a card. Overall, I am very satisfied with it.
The leather itself is of good quality. It is very difficult to remove the credit cards from the slots, and items such as business cards fall from the open flap on the right. This replaced an older one from Ralph Lauren, for which I paid less, that is of much better design.
High quality and the nice box with the cloth inside is an added plus. Love it
Very nice quality!
I found the product to be as described. I am very pleased with the quality and would purchase other items based upon this one.
My husband had one like this for years and it fell apart and I have looked and looked for him a new one and this fits the bill PERFECT. Love how soft the leather is and the personalization just topped it.
The money clip / card holder I received was exactly as pictured on the web site. It arrived in a timely fashion and was well packaged . The quality of the item seems excellent. If anything, I would have to say that the profile is a little thick to be carried in my front pocket , but that may be a personal preference. I have not had a bad experience with leatherology.
An awesome wallet indeed! My boyfriend loved the wallet, and now he doesn't have to carry around a single money clip. It fits nicely in the front pocket, just a suggestion for your man.... place the money clip facing down upright in pocket, so the smooth side is flush on your skin. (Feels better in this position). Beautiful leather and great monogram!!!
Overall, I really like the wallet. The leather is high-quality and the construction is solid. My only complaint, is that (for as thin as it is), its clip needs to be flatter (closer to the wallet base) in order to make it usable in the front pocket of jeans (works fine with suit pants). Also, wish this money clip card holder was produced in as a non-fold that included the clip, slots for cards and clear slot for drivers license (rather than bi-fold).
Extremely good quality. Better than I expected.
Exactly what I needed and as described. Good quality...fast shipping! Perfect.
This is a nice looking wallet that meets my needs. It has a enough space to hold my important cards and is made out of great material.
Beautiful and the quality is excellent! Purchased for my husband and he is very pleased!
Great Wallet and includes all my needs. Really like the packaging!
Beautiful, as all your products are!
This is a great wallet for those who only want to carry the bare minimum. I hated having that huge wallet weighing down my back pocket. Now I just carry my driver's license, one bank card, health insurance card, AAA card, and cash. This wallet is everything I need and nothing more. I would definitely recommend it to the guys that cant even sit down because their wallets are so huge. Keep only what you need in the front pocket. I'll never go back to the big back pocket wallet.
The wallet arrived in a timely fashion and came in a nice package. The wallet was slightly larger than expected but overall very impressive. Build quality seems to be to high standard time will tell.
I bought this for my husband. It is perfect for for use in his front pocket where he likes to carry it. The leather looks great. He is very happy with it, he is very particular about his wallets!
The wallet showed up quickly after i purchased it, came in good condition and was exactly what I wanted!
Beautifully monogrammed and the perfect color of leather for a picky guy.
Very nice. The presentation was great!
This is the second money clip like this that I have purchased. It is of great quality and nice looking. I would definately purchase other products from Leatherology.
I bought this for my husband, and he said it was exactly what he was looking for. He hasn't had any trouble using it, and has had no trouble with quality issues.
Exactly as advertised. Verynwell made, and the leather is very soft. Highly recommend.
Very nice leather, quality crafting, tasteful and attractive packaging. I will be happy to give this as a gift, and I won't even have to wrap it! Excellent buy for the price. Very pleased!

Traveling in France
France is Europe's most diverse, tasty, and, in many ways, exciting country to explore. It's a place of gentle beauty, where the play of light transforms the routine into the exceptional. Here, travelers are treated to a blend of man-made and natural beauty like nowhere else in Europe. With luxuriant forests, forever coastlines, truly grand canyons, and Europe's highest mountain ranges, France has a cover-girl beauty from top to bottom. You'll also discover a dizzying array of artistic and architectural wonders — soaring cathedrals, chandeliered châteaux, and museums filled with the cultural icons of the Western world.
The Eiffel Tower was at one time the world's largest billboard. Between 1925 and 1934, a quarter-million colored bulbs spelled out the French car company Citroën in 100-foot vertical letters. The display was so bright that Charles Lindbergh used it as a navigation aid when he landed in Paris on his 1927 solo trans-Atlantic flight. Learn More
The French language
Learn French and speak with the French—and with over 120 million Africans, the French Guineans in South America, millions of Canadians, and many more people around the world. Needless to say, learning French will give you a distinct advantage both in travel and in the workforce.
A history of the French language
By learning French, you will be learning "the language of love"—maybe. It's a bit of a stretch to assume that French is the language of love—much like it's somewhat skewed to think that it was solely the glittering lights of Paris that inspired its nickname, La Ville-Lumière ("City of Light"). The term may actually refer to Paris as a hub for intellectuals during the Era of Enlightenment. The term language of love comes from the overarching term Romance language, which refers to the languages that arose out of the common spoken language—Vulgar Latin—used by the working classes in Rome and its provinces during the 7th and 8th centuries. What may be true about French being the language of love, however, is the passion with which the French do everything—from haute couture to haute cuisine, and their simple joie de vivre of everyday living.
French language tips
Ingratiate yourself with your soon-to-be hosts by remembering to say "please" and "thank you"! Learning basic French phrases and when to use them will go a long way when visiting big cities in France, and even in French-speaking Canada. Before you ask for directions or order your meal, don't forget to say "s'il vous plait" and "merci."
A new approach to learning French
Immerse yourself in French language lessons and learn just how lovely a language it is! Who knows? Maybe you'll be lucky enough to find a job in France one day and benefit from that country's standard 35-hour workweek. With extra time on your hands, you can start your grand journey in tasting all 400 varieties of cheese that France has to offer. Oui, oui! So, how do you learn French? Say "Bonjour" to your Rosetta Stone® French today! Download Levels 1–5 and start speaking immediately!

Catch-up wrote:But people have shared some very personal things just to illustrate these points and I think it's important to acknowledge that.
And Batty has acknowledged that Catch-up and shared some of her own experiences as well, so it's not as if she's saying this girl is a liar, just that the report doesn't co-incide with her own perception of Starr. That's an opinion that's as valid as wanting to believe the allegation is probably true and Batty is arguably more sensible in following a long-held association than automatically assuming that it's true so long after the fact and potentially taken out of context?
This is the problem with public personalities and 'no smoke without fire' thinking - one adverse word, true or no, could make or potentially or break a reputation, which is why official enquiries never name people until they're sure they have sufficient evidence to move on it, because they may not have the 'right' information to act on. The perhaps related case about the Tory MP is a good example - that carries far worse allegations than the one Starr is responding to, of his own volition, and because it's highly likely arrests and custodial sentences will be made when the investigation is over it's only natural justice not to name suspects ahead of their being formally arrested or brought in for questioning, otherwise it's guilty until proved innocent isn't it?
For some crimes that might be a more fitting approach perhaps, but the chances of punishing someone who may in fact not be guilty at all is why the burden of showing proof is on the prosecution and enshrined in English law, no matter what the Red Top press like to think. Naming names and tossing them in the mud before a police enquiry is even conceived is potentially as bad as groping a defenceless child because mud sticks on reputations and careers. Perhaps we should turn this around and cast the press in the wrong here for this woman's sake as well as Starr's - it's just that he's the one with the public profile and so he's easier to vilify. By the same token, because she's come forward to the media instead of the police, she's also put her motivations on the line by courting publicity in the first place and laid herself open to opinions like Batty and mine - potentially she's bringing evidence to prominence in the wrong way so her version of the truth is tainted already?

Comments about Innovative Percussion Steel Drum Mallets:
This review is only regarding the lead/tenor mallets, both walnut and aluminum.
These mallets (or sticks, traditionally) are extremely light in weight. This helps avoid hard hits when going from the upper register to the lower one.
The greatest thing about these mallets, both SW and SA, are that they have rubber tips on both ends. When you hold them right-handed (using the logos as reference), you use the hard side, where the rubber tips are thin. When holding them left-handed, the rubber is thicker and better suits the lower pitches on your pan.
The weight of the wood and aluminum are virtually identical! I was stunned by this. I have had them for about a month and play every day, and I cannot feel a different in weight. Only the texture is different. The wood is easier to grip, but for my tastes, the aluminum, smooth handles are more preferable to hold.
The only bad thing about them is the the rubber tips may not be seeded properly. It is an easy fix, just to slide them down the shaft to overlap the ends; be careful (use your index finger and thumb) when you adjust these, as they are fragile.
Also, it is nice that you can order 1,000 mallets and they will be nearly identical in size and weight.

The reserved Lauren and the irrepressible Katie are polar opposites... and past enemies. But when both come up short on the funds needed to afford their dream New York City apartment a mutual friend re-introduces them and they reluctantly agree to room together. These apartment-mates have nothing in common - until Lauren discovers that Katie is working as a phone-sex operator, and recognizes a good business opportunity. But as their business partnership takes off, their newfound friendship finds unexpected challenges that may leave them both, as they say, hanging on the telephone.

The Voice from on High (La voix d'en haut)
Standing on a raised platform before the Court of the Gentiles outside the Temple, Jesus first considers asking God to save him from his impending sacrifice; but then, recognizing its necessity in the divine plan, he instead glorifies God's name. The Lord responds from the heavens: some in the crowd hear thunder, others the voice of an angel. Jesus acknowledges his forthcoming death to those gathered.
With this image, Tissot again blends his interest in historical accuracy with a sense of mystery and wonder. He sets the scene in a very specific archaeological place: on a terrace elevated above the Court of Gentiles, noting that non-Jews were forbidden from this platform under pain of death. However, the artist also underscores the awe of the crowd as they hear the voice from on high—many cower as they look up at the sky with raised hands and wide eyes.

Oktibbeha County Sheriff Steve Gladney was the keynote speaker at the Starkville Rotary Club meeting Monday, where he gave a report on the state of his department during the first 11 months of his term.
He highlighted several successes under his administration, such as Oktibbeha County Sheriff's Department becoming one of only four county law enforcement agencies in the state to earn accreditation from the Mississippi Law Enforcement Accreditation Commission in November.
OCSD has also obtained several grants — mostly from the Mississippi Department of Public Safety — to purchase equipment such as bulletproof vests handheld breath alcohol testers and to have more manpower on hand to enforce seat belt and DUI laws during football game day weekends.
With the seat belt grant, also referred to as an Occupant Protection Grant, OCSD was awarded $12,182. The DUI enforcement grant awarded the department $23,273, $15,000 of which was used to pay overtime.
"What that does is allows me on these busy football weekends is I can go in and pay a guy overtime or pay a guy on his days off to come in and work," Gladney said. "Most of the ball games at home this year I've had at least eight deputies out. One of them we had 10 out. I don't know what I would have done if we didn't have those grants to be able to do that."
Gladney noted that OCSD has made 187 DUI arrests through the month of November with the help of extra enforcement.
The costs of the 22 new vests were in excess of $17,000, but the grant pays for half, while the other half is paid for by previously forfeited funds seized by OCSD.
"I'm as proud of that as probably about anything we've been able to do," Gladney said. "One of the big concerns for me back when I first became Sheriff … was the bulletproof vests. We had some that were old and outdated and that really bothered me. If I send these guys on these calls and something happens to them it bothers me (even) if I give them the best equipment they've got."
Gladney also discussed the county's R.U.O.K.? system, which is a telephone reassurance program geared toward the elderly and physically limited in which deputies call people who are signed up seven days a week.
"We call every one of them every morning … up to three times. If we don't get an answer after the third time … We send a deputy out to check on them," he said. "We've got about 75 people in that program now."
Another program OCSD offers to residents is a security check for people who have plans to leave their homes for an extended period of time and want to ensure monitoring of the area during their absence. All residents have to do is fill out a form at the Sheriff's office, he said, and OCSD did approximately 100 such checks in November.
"We'll send a deputy by every day while you're gone. We'll check your home and then when you get back home we'll send a letter to you with the times we came by and checked your house," he said. "Then at least if something happened, we'll have a timeline to go on."
Also discussed was the county's purchase of 15 new patrol cars out of OCSD's budget to replenish an aging fleet. The department will make four annual payments of $102,097.18 for the cars, which cost $26,347 individually. Each vehicle has a five-year $100,000 warranty.
"Most if not all of those cars were well over 200,000 miles on them, some of them had a quarter of a million or more on them," he said.
"Every time I turned around I was putting transmissions in or air conditioners. We were able to get 15 new ones and we'll be able to sell these 20 old ones and offset that cost some and get our fleet back in really good shape. To me, when you get that many miles on something it's a safety issue."
He mentioned that in the first 11 months of his term, OCSD averages 471 response calls per month and had a total of 5,187 calls through November.
"I was told back in 1996 or (199)7 the sheriff's department went to four shifts and they were averaging 80 calls a month. We're still at four shifts (with) four people to a shift and 12-hour shifts and we're averaging 471 calls. The month of September we answered … 631. That was right in the middle of football season, so a lot of that was because of that, but those guys answer a lot of calls," Gladney said.

Welcome to the North Dakota University System website!
This website is a gateway to the North Dakota University System and the five community colleges, four regional universities and two research universities that make our system strong.
The 11 University System campuses prepare students for a broad range of professions by providing career and technical education, traditional academic programs, graduate studies and research opportunities. To assist students in this process, the NDUS website provides information about college selection, program offerings, financial aid, workforce training, adult learning opportunities, online education and veterans benefits - to name just a few important topics.
Other resources may be of interest to state policymakers, business leaders, employees, media representatives and interested members of the public. This includes formal documents, such as State Board of Higher Education policies, reports and meeting minutes; University System procedures; information about current issues in higher education; and a variety of other timely subjects.
Investment in higher education continues to be a priority in North Dakota, just as the University System continues to focus on creating opportunities for student success. I believe this shared commitment can be summed up in the three simple words that guide our day-to-day operations:
Access. Innovation. Excellence.
Please contact the University System Office if we can provide assistance in connecting you to the appropriate resources on this website.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Larry C. Skogen

If they force the user through a first time tutorial then it won't be such a big deal - providing the user is willing to learn.
Something comes to mind though with the tutorial option. How much "new learning" will be required for users? Ok, so in the video's scenario the father will learn that he can return to the "start menu" by either going to the bottom left corner, or by going over to the right side of the screen. But what if the tutorial then starts telling him about the masses of keyboard shortcuts that are available to "make life easier"? Is he going to be able to remember each one of those shortcuts after the first tutorial? I doubt it, and that means that he won't get the "full experience" of Windows 8. Heck, I tried just working through my keyboard and seeing what each combination might do. Once I had finished, I tried testing myself by trying to do something simple, and I couldn't remember which combination would do it, so I had to work back through my keyboard again to try and find the right one.
And finally, continuing with the idea of the shortcut keys: a normal user doesn't always use the shortcut keys. Some don't even know that there are shortcut keys. I don't think I know all the shortcut keys for Windows XP, and it's been around for quite a few years now. Trying to say that "once you learn the shortcut keys it's fine" is valid if you're used to using shortcut keys, but for those that continue to rely on their mouse it's more difficult.
Is Windows 8 intuitive? No. Not in my opinion.
Compare this to previous versions of Windows. Each one has been slightly different, but the amount of new learning has been minimal. It has made it easy for users to go, "this looks different, but I can still work. Oh hey, and look at this new feature. That makes life easier!" Windows 8 changes many things, and it left me with the idea, "great, now I can't do anything until I've learnt about all the new changes and features."
Posted 12 March 2012 - 12:17
I agree that there needs to be progression. But the idea of re-learning something isn't always a good thing, there needs to be a justification for it.
your right, this version is much more different from the predecessors than before but really, is that a problem? theres a few times in a lifetime when you need to re-learn something "basic" and can't expect the whole world to wait on you or piggyback all the old stuff for confort...

Posted 12 March 2012 - 13:16
I agree that there needs to be progression. But the idea of re-learning something isn't always a good thing, there needs to be a justification for it.
Example 1: We thought the Earth was flat. We learnt that it was spherical and changed our thinking. This is a good example of change and can be justified.
Example 2: Someone wakes up tomorrow and decides that he's going to walk around on his hands rather than his feet. He tells the rest of the world that this is the way of the future. Are you going to start walking around on your hands, or are you going to point out that it's not as convenient as the method before? This is an example of a bad change and cannot be justified (unless you don't have any legs, I guess).
My point is that not all change is bad, but not all change is good. Microsoft is trying to progress with Windows 8 by creating one operating system for all devices. I freely admit that I think it would work fine on a touch device, but for me it falls down when it comes to the desktop side of things. In order to cater for the touch market they have had to change the desktop side of things, and in my opinion it is not a change for the better.

i really think with the Start Screen, superbar and desktop all being apart users must learn to be much more organized then before when just filling the start menu and the desktop with clutter; a much more conscous, more organized and more self-aware user is needed who KNOWS what he/she wants to reach with one click after bootup, what can wait for a scroll or two, what needs to be searched and what is needed on the superbar and the desktop
Posted 12 March 2012 - 16:56
I'm not sure I get this. You think all of this is a good thing?! And you expect users to be able and be willing to change in those ways? Why again?
Posted 12 March 2012 - 17:19
Posted 12 March 2012 - 17:32
Let me get this straight. One of the reasons so many people are still using Windows is, because that's what they're used to and they know how to get around it. Suddenly the iPad comes along and gets insanely popular, a device that you can sit people in front of who've never used it before and they'll figure it out in mere minutes. So as a response Microsoft is coming out with a system that the Windows-using population will have a problem getting used to, and which doesn't have a clear advantage over an iPad either?
There will be a tutorial in the final build. People didn't know how to use a desktop at first...they learned. People didn't know how to use an iPhone/iPad at first...they learned. Windows 8 will be no different.

…that I stopped listening to NPR.
Oddly, this happened at the very moment my work as a freelancer—reporting on arts and culture for NPR—was starting to take off. And before long I was a full-time correspondent at NPR in DC. But my days as a regular listener ended on January 16, 1991. On that evening, America and its allies started bombing Baghdad, and NPR turned into One Thing Considered.
This was something new. The Persian Gulf War was NPR's moment to prove itself as it emerged from the media fringe and became a primary source of news. People would tell me occasionally NPR was their only source of news. I'd answer that I was scared for them and that they should please consider reading a newspaper!
The most worrisome aspect of the war coverage 20 years ago was its enthusiastic tone. Listeners would complain that NPR was not giving air time to dissenting voices. The official response from Ellen Weiss, then the executive producer of All Things Considered, was that research showed NPR listeners supported the war.
This was astonishing—an admission that at least one news executive there believed NPR's role was to reflect public opinion. I was looking for a news organization to report what exists, no matter how we feel about it.
So that I could listen to the BBC, I went to Radio Shack and bought my first and only shortwave receiver. I still have it (pictured). The BBC's coverage was noticeably more neutral than NPR's.
P.S.: Now that the BBC streams its services online, I listen primarily to Radio 3 and Radio 4. When I'm home. I'm eagerly waiting for the next generation of cell networks to turn smartphones into the portable transistor radios of my youth.
P.P.S.: Ellen Weiss eventually rose to the position of Senior VP for News. She resigned ten days ago as a result of the Juan Williams firing.

Communications & Records
Members of the communications and records bureau are ready 24 hours a day to answer your calls for service or visits to the police building facility. These employees, often referred to as dispatchers, are the first people you talk to when you call or walk into the police department lobby.Sierra Madre is a small police department, so there is often only one dispatcher per shift for communications and records matters.
In our communications center, we answer all 911 emergency calls and non-emergency business line calls. Often, we can assist you regarding a matter, from providing a copy of a police report to answering general questions, but sometimes an officer is required.
We communicate with the officers via radio and MDT (Mobile Display Terminal) to dispatch them to service calls or to be informed of their activities, such as initiating a vehicle stop, patrolling a park by foot or stopping to attend civic gatherings. A CAD-RMS (Computer-Aided Dispatch and Records Management System) is used to store information, including shift activity logs and previous event activity.
The communications center is also responsible for the storage, retrieval and management of all records within the department. We process thousands of citations and complete data entry for forms, from parking permit requests to crime report information.
911 emergency is a telephone number that will link callers to the appropriate emergency service, such as police, medical or fire. Remember, 911 cellular phones are connected to the CHP, California Highway Patrol.
Dialing of 911 Accidentally
If you call 911 accidentally, please stay on the line and inform the operator of your mistake. An emergency is any situation that places the safety of life or property at risk, such as a traffic collision, medical emergency or crime in progress. It is not an emergency when the situation is not dangerous and immediate action is not necessary, such as asking directions or making an animal complaint.

For the second straight year, head coach Dan Mullen and the Mississippi State Bulldogs will play in a postseason bowl game.
On Friday, Dec. 30, MSU will play the Wake Forest Demon Deacons in the Music City Bowl at LP Field in Nashville, Tenn. Kickoff is scheduled for 5:40 p.m., and the game will be televised nationally on ESPN.
Mississippi State director of athletics Scott Stricklin and Mullen accepted a formal invitation on Sunday from Music City Bowl Board Chairman Brad Lampley and President and CEO Scott Ramsey.
Stricklin was the first to unveil the Bulldogs' bowl destination, tweeting the announcement at 5:12 p.m. and beating the official Music City Bowl's Twitter statement to the punch.
MSU's official football Twitter account confirmed the team's opponents at 7:41 p.m.
"We're happy to accept this invitation and for the opportunity to play in such a great bowl and wonderful city," Stricklin said in a release. "I'm proud of our players and coaches for their efforts throughout the season, and we're all looking forward to seeing the huge crowd of Bulldog fans in Nashville."
The Bulldogs (6-6 overall, 2-6 in the SEC) became bowl eligible after defeating Ole Miss 31-3 for the team's third Egg Bowl victory in a row.
"This is a great accomplishment for our players and coaches who worked hard all season long," Mullen said in a release. "We're excited to make the trip to Nashville and play in a great bowl game. This game is a reward for our players and fans, and — as we've said all season — the practices and preparation will be important for the development of the future of our program."
MSU opened the season with a win on the road at Memphis, but lost two straight to then-ranked Auburn and current No. 1 LSU. MSU would go on to alternate wins and losses over the next four weeks before earning back-to-back wins over Kentucky and UT-Martin. MSU finished the season with losses against two teams highly ranked teams — Arkansas and Alabama — and then its victory over Ole Miss.
On offense, MSU is led by its two-quarterback system — Chris Relf and Tyler Russell — and running back Vick Ballard. Relf and Russell have combined to throw for over 2,000 yards, while Ballard is the lone MSU running back with over 1,000 yards on the ground. Through the air, receivers Chad Bumphis, Arceto Cark and Chris Smith have combined for over 80 catches and 1,000 receiving yards.
After dropping its opening game to Syracuse in overtime, Wake Forest (6-6 overall, 5-3 in the ACC) won four straight games, beating N.C. State, Gardner-Webb, Boston College and Florida State. After splitting a win and a loss against Duke and Virginia Tech respectively, the Demon Deacons dropped three in a row to North Carolina, Notre Dame and eventual conference champion Clemson. Wake Forest defeated Maryland in its last conference game, but lost by 34 points to Vanderbilt in the season finale.
The Demon Deacons have a potent air attack led by sophomore quarterback Tanner Price. This season alone, Price has thrown for over 2,800 yards with 20 touchdowns and six interceptions. In eight games this year, Price has thrown for over 200 yards. His biggest performance — 320 passing yards — came against Maryland. Against Vanderbilt, Wake Forest's only SEC opponent of the year, Price did not complete more than half of his passes and was held to only 157 yards in the air.
Overall, MSU is 8-6 in bowl games since the 1937 Orange Bowl against Duquesne. Since 2000, Mississippi State has gone undefeated in postseason play. The Bulldogs defeated Texas A&M in overtime for the 2000 Independence Bowl title, beat Central Florida by a touchdown to take the 2007 Liberty Bowl trophy and dominated Michigan in last year's Gator Bowl. This year marks the second time since 1999-2000 that MSU has played in consecutive bowl games. In 1999, the Bulldogs played two bowl games — Jan. 1's Cotton Bowl against Texas and Dec. 30's Peach Bowl against Clemson — then followed with the Independence Bowl against Texas A&M in 2000. The Bulldogs victory over Michigan came on Jan. 1 of this year.
Bowl ticket sales began immediately following the Bulldogs' victory over Ole Miss, and the Mississippi State ticket office has exhausted its 12,000 ticket allotment to the Music City Bowl. Fans who did not pre-order their tickets can contact the Music City Bowl ticket office through TicketMaster at http://www.ticketmaster.com/MusicCityBowl [3] or 800-745-3000.
Mississippi State's Gameday page — http://www.mstateathletics.com/gameday [4] — will be updated this week with complete information on the Bulldogs' trip to the 2011 Music City Bowl. The page will feature information and links for both Mississippi State and its opponent, and will include coverage of the Bulldogs as they prepare for the Dec. 30 matchup in Nashville.
State will return to practice Friday. The first week of practice will be open to the public.

Meerkats are one of the cutest creatures on the planet. These small furry denizens of the Kalahari Desert earn plenty of fans with their mischievous, playful behavior and thus make excellent animal garden sculptures. Put a large Meerkat Gang Sculpture in the yard and watch as garden guests and kids of all ages notice this adorable addition to the backyard. Compliment it with the fantastic Meerkat Family at the Watering Hole Garden Fountain.
While Meerkats look right at home in the garden, they look just as good inside the home or when displayed in a business. Try the Meerkat Clan Statue for a stunning, beautiful animal yard statue that also adds character to a living room or office. You can bet that it will also be admired and act as a conversation piece in a store, hotel, restaurant, or other business.
Although these Meerkat sculptures are high quality, adorable decor, if you would rather have something a bit more functional, try the Meerkat Clan Sculptural Glass-Topped Side Table. This functional work of art features the same type of cute, realistic meerkats as our other Meerkat statues along with a glass table top that can be used for a lamp, evening cocktails, or displaying fine decor from the Basil Street Gallery.

I have much sympathy for you gents *pats heads* Your days were numbered when they started up sperm banks - not a nice thing to be genetically redundant (technically anyway) is it?
I suppose we do still need stud-line 'stock' so some of you will do OK and also we'll need people to make us laugh too. Maybe it'll work itself out and XY people will find a whole new area of specialisation MWAHAHAHA

Charlie Sykes: Sykes Writes
"Not Brave"
ICYMI yesterday, Mayor Tom Barrett (1) refused to say how he would have balanced the state budget as governor, and then (2) undermined his own strategy by using the phrase "not brave" to describe Assembly Republicans he would rely on to flip-flop and vote to repeal Act 10: From John McCormack's report in the Weekly Standard:
Barrett said he would attempt to repeal Walker's union reforms by calling a special legislative session, but he acknowledged that Republicans could block him. Barrett suggested that if Democrats win the win the governor's race and take back the Senate, Republicans in the assembly would change their minds about collective bargaining.
But then Barrett undermined efforts to sway Republicans by calling those who would switch their votes "not brave."
"What I think [the recall] would do is it would change the minds of a lot of those assembly members who voted for this. As they see senator after senator recalled, and their governor recalled, they're not going to be as brave as they may have been last spring. And if they're not brave, they may change their vote," Barrett said. "And if they [don't] change their vote, we know who to focus on in November."

A record-breaking 3,000 Saint Louis University students, faculty and staff volunteered for the 2011 Make a Difference Day held Saturday, Oct. 29.
The annual national day of service began with a kick-off ceremony at Herrmann Stadium before volunteers were sent to more than 130 sites throughout the St. Louis area.
Bobby Wassel, assistant director SLU's Center for Service and Community Engagement, stated that he had seen the volunteer numbers grow consistently each year.
"Last year, 2,778 SLU volunteers worked in 121 sites in the community, making it the largest 'Make a Difference Day' in the University's history," Wassel said. "This year we've seen both the numbers as well enthusiasm to share time, energy and friendship in the metro area continue to grow."
Additional work sites for this year's Make a Difference Day include Gateway 180: Homelessness Reversed; Gene Slay's Boys Club; and the Naturally Occurring Retirement Community.
Next year's Make A Difference Day is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 27, 2012.
