The 25 Hottest Celebs of 2012
The 25 Hottest Celebs of 2012
Hollywood has its perennial leading ladies (you know, Julia, Jen, Angelina), but which women will have the biggest year this year? These girls, suggested by you on glamour.com and ranked here in order of hugeness. Get ready to see them everywhere.SEE MORE
1. Jennifer LawrenceThe 21-year-old is starring in the year's biggest franchise film—a little thing called The Hunger Games. Director Gary Ross has said, "She carries the entire movie… I was in awe." Readers are already blown away: "You can just tell she's going to be one of the biggest stars in the world," says Amanda Wysocki. Naturally we made her this month's cover girl!
2. Emma StoneWith her movie The Help cleaning up this awards season, Stone, 23, proved she can work a red carpet. And her year is only going to get bigger: The new Revlon Brand Ambassador will star with boyfriend Andrew Garfield in The Amazing Spider-Man and reunite with former costar Ryan Gosling in The Gangster Squad. "Show me a man who wouldn't give it all up for Emma Stone," Gosling has said, "and I'll show you a liar."
3. Rooney MaraThe Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is just the beginning. Steven Soderbergh recently cast her in his forthcoming Bitter Pill, and the 27-year-old actress with the classic features and those cute post-Dragon bangs is already being compared to Audrey Hepburn. (Who doesn't want that?)
4. RihannaWhether she's igniting a hair trend, designing for Emporio Armani or singing about S&M, this 23-year-old icon keeps pushing the limits. What's next for RiRi? A Coldplay collaboration, her debut as a bona fide movie star in May's Battleship, a British fashion reality show, and—of course!—more head-turning outfits.
5. Mila Kunis"I have serious straight-girl love for Mila," says reader Katelin Walker. It's not just because the 28-year-old face of Dior and star of the upcoming Ted is gorgeous; it's because she's real. Says Walker: "When Mila gets a YouTube invite to be a stranger's date to the Marine Corps Ball, she goes to the damn ball."
6. Elizabeth OlsenMary-Kate and Ashley's 22-year-old sister, left, became a movie star overnight with last year's Martha Marcy May Marlene. And your new red-carpet favorite isn't taking a break anytime soon: She's got at least three big films coming out this year. Girl's about to be huge.
7. Adele"Adele is my generation's Etta James," gushes reader Alex Stewart of the 23-year-old chart-topper, who won each of the six Grammys she was nominated for and is planning an arena tour later this year. Says Stewart: "She's what you'd call a powerhouse."
8. Anne HathawayOne word: Catwoman. Come July, the A-list actress will put her own stamp on the classic role, and everyone's already buzzing about how killer she looks in the suit. Next up is Les Misérables, and we're all officially on wedding watch—the 29-year-old is engaged to jewelry designer Adam Shulman. Sequel idea: The Bride Wears Prada!
9. Nicki MinajThe 29-year-old wig-wearing, tutu-flouncing rapper just released her sophomore album. "There's a just-raunchy-enough level that she always nails," says reader Kiki Schmitz. "She's such a persona. Drake loves her, Ellen [DeGeneres] loves her, and her True Hollywood Story made me tear up a little."
10. Zooey DeschanelWith New Girl the highest-rated fall Fox debut since 2001, the 32-year-old indie-film darling has finally gone mainstream. But the blue-eyed beauty still takes style risks (remember those weird sideburn-bang thingies?), and you love her for it.
11. Olivia WildeThe woman whose sexiness makes Megan Fox "want to strangle a mountain ox with my bare hands" has no fewer than three movies this year and was just signed as a Revlon Brand Ambassador. After divorcing an Italian prince in 2011, the 27-year-old started off 2012 by dating Saturday Night Live's Jason Sudeikis.
12. Taylor SwiftSomehow the touring 22-year-old found time to record a new album, and her style has gotten serious. Reader Katherine Pysher speaks for many: "Her music is my go-to guilty pleasure!"
13. Carey MulliganThe 26-year-old Drive star is "as cute as a button with loads of class," says reader Fiana Garza. Get ready: Mulligan's turn in December's The Great Gatsby will take her from "cute" to super-duper A-lister.
14. Jennifer LopezLet's face it: J.Lo breathed some much-needed new life into American Idol last year. This year, at 42, she'll be bigger than ever, returning to the silver screen with What to Expect When You're Expecting and Parker. And there's a greatest-hits album—she's still just Jenny from the block!
15. Jessica BielWhen Justin Timberlake calls you "the most special person" in his life, you've already won. Yet even as she plans her wedding, 29-year-old Biel will be busy promoting the slew of movies she has coming out this year.
16. Amanda SeyfriedWith five envelope-pushing movies out this year, it's no wonder you have so much respect for the 26-year-old: "She seems like one of the smartest celebs out there because her roles are so different," says reader Rebecca Herschorn. This year there's everything from Lovelace, a biopic about a porn star, to the musical Les Mis. Mamma mia!
17. Michelle WilliamsIt doesn't get bigger than this: a Best Actress Oscar nod for the 31-year-old's portrayal of Marilyn Monroe! "I know what she was really like," Don Murray, a costar of the real Monroe, has said. "And Michelle really catches it." Plus: Love the hair.
18. Kristen StewartBreaking Dawn Part 2; Snow White and the Huntsman—K.Stew, 21, has her blockbuster bases covered. The Balenciaga fragrance rep is also dating fan fave Robert Pattinson. In case you forgot.
19. Kirsten DunstThis is Dunst's comeback year—the 29-year-old has six movies coming out."I'm ready for the Year of Kirsten!" says reader Jaclyn Riback. "She's so accomplished and talented."
20. Melissa McCarthyOscar-nominated McCarthy, 41, stole the show in Bridesmaids—not an easy cast to steal from. "We realized, 'Holy s—t, this woman is on fire,'" director Paul Feig has said. Just wait till December's Knocked Up sequel, This Is 40.
21. Lady GagaNew album, new tour—the fame monster is here to stay.
22. Emily BluntCan't wait for The Five-Year Engagement from Mrs. John Krasinski!
23. BeyoncéThe superstar is finally a mom. This year will be sooo cute.
24. Chloë Grace MoretzTwo big 2012 films and very adult style? Not too bad for 15!

I can see that statement being accurate. It really doesn't look like they spent much on making that game...
Infinity Blade was more profitable for Epic Games than Gears of War
In a recent interview Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney talked a lot about the freemium model, convergence, and in particular how successful they've been in mobile.
We've been very happy with the game industry's growth. For a while we were worried that the divide between the console growth in the west and the growth of PCs would increase. The most profitable game we've ever made, in terms of man years invested versus revenue, is actually Infinity Blade. It's more profitable than Gears of War. ... We expect DirectX technology to be widely available on these mobile devices in the next few years. ... These platforms are rapidly converging, with a set of common capabilities. The lowest end device [the iPad 2] is still a DirectX 9 device!
If you're not familiar, Gears of War is a massively popular shooting game franchise on console which originally launched in 2006 and spawned multiple sequels. The latest title sold 3 million copies in its opening week, beating out the previous two games. As of September 2011, the whole series has grossed over $1 billion.
iOS has been eating the lunch of traditional portable gaming consoles for some time now, but the new iPad has started steering towards competing with consoles, primarily by way of comparison of the Retina display's resolution with standard HD TVs. Even though the processing power and storage space of the iPad and iPhone currently limits what can be done in iOS games, those are limits that even AAA developers like Epic are willing to work around if they can enjoy higher profits than their console titles. Of course Infinity Blade is the exception rather than the rule, but it proves mobile can be at least as profitable for game developers as other platforms.
Sweeney's interview revolved a lot around the Unreal Engine which they created and has a prominent position in the mobile sphere, and provides a clear transition path for developers moving from PC and consoles. Sweeney was largely supportive of the freemium model, and expects that all games will at some point in the future be distributed globally and digitally.
If Epic can make more money on Infinity Blade than Gears of War, is this a signal that other big-name developers should switch gears to mobile? If so, does iPhone and iPad stand any chance of becoming a more popular gaming platform than PCs or consoles, regardless of technical limitations?

Infinity Blade was more profitable for Epic Games than Gears of War
Wow! That's freaking ridiculous :-)
Its way easier to sell a game that costs like $5 over a game that costs $60, I'm really not surprised that this game is ultra profitable. Also keep in mind with used game sales making an even bigger dent in their profits this isn't shocking at all.
I don't think mobile gaming and console gaming have to be a one or the other sort of decision for game companies though. In the end they want to make games available to all users.
Ummm...the only downside? What about control? Frankly...it sucks balls on mobile devices. When a bluetooth controller is released, then we can start doing comparisons.
yes but the iPad can not handle the graphics as well as a dedicated console, it is not just the screen but the rendering also to consider....
Infinity Blade's good and the growth of mobile gaming encouraging but Tim Sweeney said "The most profitable game we've ever made, in terms of man years invested versus revenue, is actually Infinity Blade."
It is in terms of man years invested. He is only saying that if you see the total time devoted to the development of each game then Infinity Blade was more profitable for each day spent on development, not in absolute terms.
If game A took a year to make and brought in profits of $1 Billion it is far more profitable (in these terms) than game B that brought in $3 Billion but took four years to make.
Questions of content and game size aside, Sweeny's comparison falls flat because Gears of War and Unreal Engine 3 were built as part of the same effort with intermingled costs, whereas the iOS port built on top of those 4 years, and would by itself track against only those porting costs, which, while I am sure were non-trivial, could not have compared in effort or cost to the building of the engine from the ground up. As the article says:
For Unreal Engine 3, the company spent 4 years building Gears of War and the technology at same time, and put major effort into early adoption of new platform features
Epic should be applauded for their efforts in making a portable game engine, but the question you ask those other developers cannot really be answered as long as the mobile development gets a free ride on the shoulders of the console work.
i don't remotely think tablet or phone gaming is remotely a subsititute for console gaming. One, the need not be mutually exclusive. I have games in both places. But also a console like an xbox also provides many things now through apps that people like to do on a tv like Netflix, espn, etc. Sure you can do that on a tablet as well but there's a drastic difference between watching the Superbowl on a tablet or a movie on plane on a tablet and watching the superbowl in 1080 HD on a 60 in flatscreen. Good luck with movie night watching a small screen surrounded by a bunch of people. Superbowl party would suck crowded around an ipad. But another thing is the motion games you get with new attachments. And a massive thing is xbox live and the social network gaming aspect. I'm talking live gaming in shooters and madden and stuff not just playing words with friends. And there there is the strength of exclusive titles. Stuff like COD that is massive or Halo or even Mario sorts of games. And for the most part people prefer to play those on consoles right now. Now i wouldn't put it past Apple to release a console. But it won't be either or anytime soon. I think that argument is one made by people largely outside of the gaming industry or people with a rooting bias.

Saturday, July 12, 2014
A Georgetown County Sheriff's Deputy was involved in a shooting that resulted in the death of a 36-year-old, white female with alleged mental health issues, according to a statement from the GCSO.
At approximately 6:30 p.m. on July 12, 2014, Georgetown County Sheriff's Deputies were dispatched to a residence on Ashcraft Circle in the Litchfield Beach Community of Georgetown
County for a welfare check. Sheriff's deputies were contacted by a family member concerned for her well-being and a legal representative that the subject was in a bathroom with a knife threatening to harm herself. Georgetown County Coroner Kenny Johnson identified the woman as Valerie Harrington.
Sheriff's deputies were unable to make contact with anyone at the residence and located the property manager who unlocked the door.
When sheriff's deputies were clearing the residence, the female allegedly charged the deputies with a knife. A sheriff's deputy at that moment used lethal force to stop the subject.
The South Carolina State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) was called to investigate the shooting and the crime scene. The officer involved in the shooting has been placed on administrative leave.

CRESTVIEW — A red hot Crestview boys basketball team extended its winning streak to five games and made it four straight in District 2-6A play with a 64-54 win over Choctawhatchee on Friday.
The win improved the Bulldogs to 10-9 overall and 4-3 in district play. More importantly it puts them in position to take an all-important second or third place seed in next month's district tournament.
"I drew the bracket on the board before we stepped out tonight and showed them where we are and where we could be with tonight's win," Crestview coach Ken Meinser said. "Right now we are playing for two and three (in the district). We have one more to go at Mosley next Friday and then we will be set for the tournament.
"This is the first time I've been over .500 at Crestview. We are 10-9 and we were 2-7 at one time. It goes to show you that hard work and the hours of the tears and sweat these kids have put in are starting to pay off and I'm so proud of them."
The Indians (14-9. 4-3) got off to a fast start as Michael Hawkins scored on a 4-point play 19 seconds into the game. But Crestview wouldn't be denied.
Baskets by Ronnie Baylark and Denzel Ware tied the game at 4-4 and it was game on as the teams traded baskets throughout the first several minutes of play.
A Baylark 3-pointer at the 4:32 mark in the first quarter gave the Bulldogs their first lead of the game at 9-6.
Crestview led 14-12 at the end of the first quarter before a pair of free throws by Hawkins tied the game at 14-14 early in the second period.
Baylark, who finished the night with a game-high 28 points, was good for six points in the second quarter as the Bulldogs continued to fight off the Indian attack.
An Angel Acosta 3-pointer put the Indians in 23-20 with just less than four minutes left in the half.
Baskets by Jonathan Buckelew and Baylark sparked a run that helped the Bulldogs to a 26-25 lead at the half.
The game was nip and tuck throughout the third quarter.
A Bryan Baker basket put Choctaw up at 30-29 with 5:15 left in the third quarter. The Indians held the lead throughout most of the period.
The game was tied at 40-40 with 5:30 left in the fourth quarter when Josh Hinton converted on a 3-point play to put the Bulldogs in front once and for all.
The final five minutes of the game was more of a free throw battle than anything else with the Bulldogs stepping to the line and hitting 17-of-21 from the strip in the final stanza to pull of the win.
Buckelew scored 16 points to join Baylark in double figures for the Bulldogs.
Hawkins led a trio of Indians in double figures with 15 points. Dylan Williams had 12 points and Baker 10 points.

Just Mix Water with GPUs to Save 1,500 Tons of CO2 Emissions
Anytime you search on Google, 'like' on Facebook or 'Tweet' on Twitter, you're tapping into powerful server farms in huge, air-conditioned warehouses.
Supercomputers currently require a lot of energy to operate around the clock year-round, while keeping them cool enough so they don't overheat and shut down. The side effect of this is the production of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions ' a major culprit of global warming.
CO2 emissions from large server farms and high performance computing systems are on the rise, reaching the levels produced by the global airline industry. Worse, experts estimate emissions from server farms will quadruple by 2020.
So, we're thrilled to announce that NVIDIA's GPUs have helped the new supercomputer at the Cineca facility in Italy hit an unprecedented milestone for energy efficiency. And in doing so, it is able to deliver 1,500tons less CO2 output than a comparable CPU-based system.
High-density Supercomputer Hits New 'Green' World Record
The 'Eurora' supercomputer (pictured, left), partially funded by the PRACE 2nd Implementation Project and by Italian National Institute of Oceanography and Geophysics, was co-designed for power-saving performance. It features innovative Eurotech servers with 'hot water' cooling technology to maximize the energy efficiency of NVIDIA's Tesla K20 accelerators, the highest performance, most energy-efficient GPUs ever built.
With this innovative approach, Eurora smashed the record held by the current no. 1 system on the Green500 list of the world's most efficient supercomputers by more than 25 percent, delivering 3,150 megaflops per watt of sustained performance. Here are some key system specs:
Why Hot Water is 'Cooler' Than Cold Air
Eurora owes its energy efficiency record in part to the Tesla K20 accelerator, which is 4 times more energy efficient than a typical x86 CPU. And by using warm water instead of chilled air to keep server components at optimal operating temperatures, the supercomputer saves additional power typically required for air conditioning.
So why not use cold water? Because systems used to chill water are energy-hungry, negating some of the benefits of using liquid cooling solution in servers. Heated water produced from the supercomputer can be re-purposed to heat buildings or drive absorption chillers, and then returned back to the supercomputer at a cooler temperature (pictured, right).
Over its five year lifespan, Eurotech estimates that Cineca will save a whopping 2.5 million kilowatt-hours, or $500k savings in energy costs, while eliminating over 1,500 tons of CO2 emissions as compared to a typical CPU cluster of similar performance.
Energy has become the biggest limiting factor for many data centers and supercomputers. Today, leading supercomputing centers, such as Oak Ridge National Lab in Tennessee and Cineca, are looking beyond traditional x86 CPUs to GPU accelerators to meet this daunting challenge: delivering higher performance while keeping energy consumption in check.
We're glad to do our part to make data centers a greener place.
Check out this slide deck for more info on the Eurotech system and its cooling technology:

Catching up with Kellie Pickler before Tiffin gigWritten by Vicki L. Kroll | | email@example.com
Kellie Pickler can't stand still.
"I just love being on the road. There's a comfort that I have on my bus and that I find being on the road, just moving. I love being mobile," the country star said and laughed.
It's probably not a coincidence that her new single from "The Woman I Am," which released in November, is "Little Bit Gypsy." Consider the chorus of the fun, catchy song:
"I'm a traveling circus train/ Spinning weathervane/ Going where the wind blows/ I was born to chase the sun/ Some horses gotta run/ Yeah, I'm always gonna be/ A little bit gypsy."
"For me, a gypsy is a feeling and is a free spirit and is kind of a wanderer. You know, there's this curiosity about the world and experiencing as much of the world as you can experience," she said. "I think there's a difference in being alive and living, and while I'm alive, I want to live."
During a call from Nashville, Tenn., Pickler exuded Southern charm.
"I ran into an elderly woman the other day, and she said that she loved 'Little Bit Gypsy,' that it made her feel like a teenager. And that's really cool; songs are supposed to take you places, and I love that it made her go back to that teenage place, that childlike place. I think that it's important that we carry that childlikeness around with us everywhere."
Maybe that's why Pickler seems so genuine. That honesty comes through on the song "The Woman I Am," which she co-wrote with her husband, Kyle Jacobs.
"Sometimes I cry at night/ I fall to pieces with Patsy Cline/ Man, how many songs sound like that?" Pickler sings. "I like my coffee black/ Three ice cubes in my Jack/ Daddy taught me how to drink like a man/ But that's just the woman I am."
"It was just really interesting to write that and to especially do it with my husband because no one knows me better than him," she said. "It's really an opportunity to do a lot of self-reflecting and just kind of stand back and look at myself from an outsider's perspective and see who exactly I am, what are the things that kind of molded me this way."
Her great-grandmother helped shape the singer-songwriter, who pays tribute to her with "Selma Drye."
"She kept a .38 Special and a can of snuff/ In the pocket of her apron in case somethin' came up/ She grew up ragged, she grew up rough/ The way she had to be," Pickler sings.
"Whenever the school bus would drop me off, I would go visit her on the way. We had a long dirt road — I would first stop at my great-grandma Drye's, Selma, and I'd visit with her. So Iremember her very well. She was a pistol, for sure. Most of the grandkids were scared of her," Pickler said and laughed. "But I was so intrigued by her, so I spent a lot of time with her growing up."
The North Carolina native ambled into the spotlight during the fifth season of "American Idol," finishing in sixth place.
In 2006, her debut, "Small Town Girl," yielded three hits: "Red High Heels," "I Wonder" and "Things That Never Cross a Man's Mind." Her 2008 self-titled follow-up featured "Best Days of Your Life," which Pickler co-wrote with Taylor Swift, "Don't You Know You're Beautiful" and "Makin' Me Fall in Love Again."
"100 Proof," her third disc, was named one of the country albums of 2012 by Rolling Stone and was listed on "Best of 2012" lists by The Washington Post and Rhapsody.
Last spring, Pickler was paired with Derek Hough in another reality TV competition; the energetic couple turned in performances as sparkling as their attire and won the mirrorball trophy on "Dancing With the Stars."
Hough encouraged her to shoot for Broadway.
"I've never been asked to do anything. If the opportunity comes along and it's the right part, then I'd love to do it," she said.
Pickler will take the stage at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 24 in The Ritz Theatre in Tiffin. Tickets range from $45 to $75.

I like to stir my lattes. Sip the foam from the top with a spoon. This one is perfect for that. Also for when I stir a little half and half into my regular coffee for an extra treat.

A new look - update
Dominic Preziosi May 24, 2013 - 12:30pm
Regular readers of dotCommonweal have probably noticed something different. We've re-launched commonwealmagazine.org, with a redesign and some refinements and improvements we've long been envisioning. You can get the full story on our efforts here, but the basic highlights are these:
- A cleaner and lighter look, optimized for mobile devices and tablets (more and more of you are reading us that way) but also pretty nice looking on your PC
- An expanded dotCommonweal blog, now incorporating the cultural commentary we used to post at Verdicts, so now you can read posts on religion and politics and movies and books all in one place
- Topical pages that include articles from the print magazine along with relevant and related content from the blog
And there's more on the way. But since we're only on Day One, you might encounter some unexpected issues, which you can let us know about here. Or send us an email, complimentary or otherwise, letting us know what you think.
UPDATE: comments are now open, so feel free to tell us what you like (or don't). But please don't use the comments to ask about technical issues--we can address those only if you use the web form or email address linked to above.
Commenting Guidelines
It looks great—much more modern and less cluttered. I like the new formatting tools, too. Now we don't have to worry about forgetting an ending tag and having half the message wind up in bold or italics.
Very nice!
Oh, and we can edit a message after it's posted. Great feature!
I second the clean, crisp look. Appears easy to navigate and the main stories are listed as the reader scrolls down. I like the formatting too and was playing around as David was.
Now we don't have to worry about forgetting an ending tag and having half the message wind up in bold or italics.
And it appears that if you want to respond to a specific person, you can do that in the thread. Might make navigating cross-talk easier.
This is good.
Let me add that it is good that you're merging the Verdicts posts with the regular blog.
If comments are now editable, that's huge.
If you have control over pagination, you might consider permitting more posts to be on each page.
A bit on the san seriffy side, don't you think?
I like it, but if you can add the ability to edit other people's comments, that would be even better.
I wonder if the arrangement of the reply to comments will work ot. They had that feature at Pray Tell but it made it hard to find the latest comments and they ended up changing it to straight chronological.
The site looks good.
I am facing one problem and one usage issue. I have already put this in the technical comments section, but I am putting it here in case anybody else has similar issues.
On my iPad, when I click on "dotCommonweal" (link is http://www.commonwealmagazine.org/blog) it gives me an error message "Safari cannot open the page because there are too many redirects"
Earlier, there were links at the top of individual posts for the previous post, Main page and the next post. This is gone now. So each time you have to go back to the main page and click on the individual post heading.
Or, am I missing something?
- I am happy that comments can be edited. That was my number 1 complaint with the previous format. I was unable to post three lines without a typo. I cannot correct my old posts from before-the-new-format, but I can correct new comments for at least 10 hours after commenting. If editing time was limited to just 30 minutes after posting a comment, that would be ample time to correct my typos. But if they're editable forever, then it enables us to rewrite history: we can post an offensive comment, let others get angry over it, then reword it in a milder tone, and thus what stays on the page shows to the world how unreasonable those people are. - oh, but I see now that the time of the post is really the time of the last modification to the post, so people will be able to tell because the time of the post will be posterior to the time of the comments.
- One thing I liked in the old presentation was the long list of posts on the first page. Now we only get to see about a quarter as many posts. That will make discussions shorter, since people are unlikely to continue discussion on a thread that has moved out of page 1. Is that by design? Did the designers choose the number of posts on the first page from their experience of how long threads remain active? (For example, I've been following a thread on catechesis, that was active until recently, and it is now on page 4.) Or is it so that the content is shorter and can be uploaded more easily on the phones?
- Another detail is an ambiguity, namely, that the "save" button below a comment really means "post publicly", not "save to continue editing later".
- I see that my email is not longer accessible to the whole world. That's an improvement. When you click on "contact", you can write a message to one of the other commenters, the message gets to them and your email is revealed to them, then, if they wish to, they can reply and they then know each other's email.
- We used to refer to comments by the date and time at which they had been posted. This is no longer unambiguous now that editing comments changes the date and time. Isn't that a problem?
- (2 days later...) I am unhappy that comments can be edited forever.
This is an attempt to write in italics, or boldface, or just plain. Pretty good.
I wish the rules were written somewhere instead of having to figure them out by trial and error.
For how long are comments editable after posting, I wonder? If they're editable forever, then it enables us to rewrite history: we can post an offensive comment, let others get angry over it, then reword it in a milder tone, and thus what stays on the page shows to the world how unreasonable those people are.
This was always one of the funnest parts of forum-posting, and when I was an admin on the forum I used to live on, no time stamp would show up. Now all we need is support for posting GIFs and the planets would align.
Now all we need is support for posting GIFs and the planets would align.
There have been SO many times when the ability to post a diagram - if I knew how to draw them on the computer - would have saved about seven paragraphs of explanatory comment text that nobody reads anyway.
Sorry, gang, I'm not seeing how to edit a comment that's already been posted. Browser issue on my part?
Very nice. Easier to read. Congratulations.
I mentioned a few glitches I've noticed in a message sent to "here" in the opening post. I received an e-mail in response giving me a link at which "The results of this submission may be viewed," but when I clicked the link it said, "Access denied."
There seems to be a problem with apostrophes in possessive nouns. This is especially true in block quotes, but in some cases in the blogger's words as well. See, e.g., the Kateri thread and the Paul Baumann's honorary degree thread. Umlauts seem to be a problem, too.
In the list of contributors, some names are repeated, and one has an apostrophe problem.
All paragraphing has disappeared from old comments. (Perhaps these should be deleted, if the paragraphing cannot be restored.)
(Sorry, I meant the Baumann on Weigel thread, not the honorary degree thread.) (I don't see how to edit, either.)
Does anyone think the lines are too long (i.e., the lines of type). Having been involved in many magazine redesigns over the [that first line has 120 characters, including punctuation and spaces between words]
years, including Commonweal, I am conscious of how high-wire a task this is especially keeping material readable in the face of "high design" concepts. Design is important, but readibility!!! is half the battle. Getting people to read a magazine, newspaper, etc. is what it's all about.
I have my doubts about the ability to revise or edit one's earlier comments. It's a bit like altering history, isn't it? I could imagine scenarios in which a whole discussion could be rendered unintelligible because its starting-point or spark was later altered.
I agree with Peggy Steinfels that the lines of print are too long.
Post-closing editing is great! It will mitigate bad grammar, poor spelling and bad manners. Maybe.
Claire's #2 is good. #4 is just another step, but I guess it prevents off-line bashing except for the first time.
I have found things a bit awkward to navigate. I don't like to have to scroll down the page to get to the blogsite.
I preferred the old typestyle.
I realize that you are trying to cater to new-fangled toys, but I think there is toooooooooooooo much white-space.
But I guess, like the loss of the 10 cent cup of coffee, I'll get used to these as well.
What does "body p" mean at the end of a new comment box?
This is a second try at sending this. (The first time a special form appeared.)
I agree with Fr. Komonchak that revising posts is rewriting history. Besides, if I know I can revise a nasty post, that will just tempt me even more to be nasty.
Where does it tell you how to use bold and italic? (I'm writing this on Mac laptop.)
And what is this about a "contact" function? I don't think I got that message anywhere.
If I click on your name, I have a choice between "view", where I see the information you have chosen to share about yourself, and "contact", that permits you to make contact with the other person even though you might not know their email.
For bold, you select the part of the text you just wrote that you'd like to appear in bold, then you click on the "B" on the top row of your comment box. Try it!
If the lines are too long or there's too much white space on the right, you can adjust the right margin to the width you prefer. But then, when you go to another website, you may have to adjust it again.
Mobile devices and "desk" tops of whatever variety have different formatting needs. I get CWL on both: the computer and the mobile have different design requirement. Check out the NYTimes on your "desktop" of whatever sort and your mobile devices, ditto many other sites that have both... More work needed.
Thanks, Claire. It's all nice and simple :-)
I'm not seeing how you get back to the main blog stream after you've been on the comments thread. Is there a "home" or "main" link to click somewhere?
The feature of having comments nesting in relation to other comments is a nightmare, I've got to tell you. We had it at Pray Tell and it drove everybody crazy. Consider how you read these things. If a discussion is going strong, there can be 70 - 80 -150 - 200 comments. Now, try coming in after the second day to see if anyone has said something new. You have to read through pages and pages in order to find out! The new comments could be on page 1 or page 7.
I am also not happy with how the comment threads appear on my phone. Each time I go to another page of comments, the entire article appears at the head of the page. I don't need to reread the article. I am trying to read the comments. But I have to scroll through a long text atop each new page of comments. That's especially tedious on a hand-held device.
Maybe editing is a perk reserved to subscribers!
Thanks for your work, but the ordinary typeface is too thin and light.
I agree that nested comments are frequently a huge nightmare, but:
- It was pretty much inevitable because all commenting systems are tending in that direction (even Facebook is supposed to switch over soon)
- It does make it a bit easier to sidestep stupid branches of convos.
- Compared to a lot of sites, most posts here don't get that many responses.
Still... I was kind of bummed, but I figured it would be happening sooner than later.
I suspect as much, but as M. DeFarge would say: Long live the Devil!
Why should it be the editor who chooses the look of the blog? Why couldn't it be the user? This way each person could change the number of characters per line, whether replies to comments appear nested or in sequence, the color of people's names, and other features, as most pleasing to them.
Thanks, Abe.
The inevitability of things getting more confusing is indeed a sad prospect.
Here's another example of why nesting is a nightmare: Up to now, we've been able to refer to other comments by the date/time stamp and you could look up the comment on the thread because comments were kept in their chronological order. With nesting, it's a complete hash. The comments may be in any order. If, say, I respond to David Nichol's first post, my comment will appear at the head of the line. But suppose in that comment I want to say, "I disagree with David, yet, I agree with Abe @ 5/26 11:59"? We're up the creek then. Where is Abe's comment? They are not in order of appearance, so it may be anywhere.
Maybe you are right, though, about there not being so many comments that it will matter most of the time. I tend to write about liturgy and those threads get a lot of comments.
I tried to access the contents of the immediate past issue (May 17). I clicked on the picture of the front page, but all I got was a larger version of said front page.
How can I access the actual content of the prior issue(s)?
Click "Past Issues."
I did that. It opens to a series of covers with the issue date below them. Clicking on the date got me nothing.
Clicking on the front page just got me a larger version of the front page.
How can I access the content therefrom?
I'm old, but not stupid......
Clicking on the front page works for me, and I like the simplicity and readability of the result very much.
For the blog, I would prefer if fewer lines of each post appeared, but more posts appeared on page 1.
Please take this as a comment, not a kvetch. I realize you are trying to accommodate a variety of platforms that I devoutly pray I will never need. But on the home page, I don't get the difference between the narrow teases ("Grave Ambiguities") and the wide teases ("Nagel"s untimely ideas").
And I don't find many of them to be of much help. "Confidence vs.Certainty" is not about the Wizard of Oz, and it is more important to me that it's by Michael Garvey than that he leads with the Wizard. Generally, the regular columnists' names are to small because we read them, not their headlines, as a rule. I also think we are getting tooooooooooo (to quote Jim McCrea) much white space, but that may be good for the other platforms, for all I know.
It works for me too. Try refreshing your browser. Hold Ctrl and click reload. You might be picking up an old version of the page.
OK, I guess I am stupid.
Click "reload" where? Not on toolbars nor Explorer bar.
Ok, skip. (I'm learning to rewrite history. Fun! What power!)
I got it to work. Thanks.
However, it appears that the letters show up in the current issue not the past issues. I was specifically looking at the May 17th issue.
Grant: will that change in the future?
Agree Claire. Posters should write an enticing paragraph or two, and short, and put the rest of their thoughtful and provacative discussion after the break, which on this site is the little red dot thing with two bars above and below. Of course, if you are announcing the end of the world, you might want to go the whole ten yards!!
Maybe editing is a perk reserved to subscribers!
Maybe. As it happens, I am a subscriber, but I subscribed with an email address that no longer exists, and when I'm logged in with my real/current address, the website doesn't recognize that I'm a subscriber. (Nor have I figured out yet on this new site how to log out and log back in with my old email address).
Click on "My account" (top right), modify the entry with your email address, click "update" (bottom). You can also insert a bio if you want the whole world to know something about you when they click on your name.

I appreciated that even though I got busy and didn't contact you before the end of the month, based on the empty unit, I wasn't charged for the next month.

As I write this blog I am on my way back home after a day in Paris where we participated in our first industry event in France last week. Much of the past week has been French flavoured with the announcement of Pentaho in France , including several interviews with journalists, publications writing about and picking up on our announcement and last but certainly not least, the launch of our brand-new website in French. It was about time that we truly had a local presence in France! To emphasise our intentions, we participated in the Forum Decideo 2010, an annual event held in Paris which brings together BI experts, users, vendors for a series of case study presentations and expert sessions. We attended the event with our new French partner Valuetis , who also sponsored the event. It was a great experience to meet and speak with so many of our French friends. Speaking of partners, we also held a webinar, Delivering low risk, low cost business intelligence solutions , last week with a new UK partner called Voodoo, who bring years of BI experience to bear and are fully...

As the new product marketing manager at Pentaho, I wanted to write my first blog on my experience attending the four-day Pentaho BI Suite Bootcamp . This class is key to better understand the architecture of the Pentaho BI Suite and get hands on experience with the Pentaho BI Suite, ETL/Data Integration, Analysis and Reporting. I have to say that coming from an enterprise data integration vendor such as IBM, I was a bit skeptical of any open source solution. What I expected was the bare bones: limited data type coverage, no metadata, basic data modeling and simple BI reporting. What I discovered was to the other extreme. I was taken by surprise on both the breath and the depth of the solution. Here is my list of lucky 13 highlights from the class: 1. Coverage of all types of data from what you expect (DB2, Oracle, & SQL Server) to Hadoop, Netezza, Teradata, SAP ERP systems, and of course MySQL and PostgreSQL. 2. Parallel processing of data transformations – with an 'intuitive' UI that eliminates the need for coding. Unlike other tools in the market from both Open Source...

Last week was not just the celebration of the anniversary of the Pentaho Agile BI initiative , it was also the conclusion of my detective tour throughout the US to both teach and learn about Agile BI. I call this a detective tour because we really use these types of events to investigate and better understand just what's going on in the marketplace and what BI challenges companies are trying to overcome. Over the past 4 months Pentaho has visited over 26 cities worldwide with the Agile BI Tour – Data to Dashboards in Minutes . I was at 15 of the cities across the US presenting on our Agile BI Initiative along with our partners. These live, free workshops were ideal for attendees to learn because of the depth of demonstrations, discussion of our Agile BI integration development environment and actual customer implementation examples. I personally found it very rewarding being on the ground and speaking with hundreds of BI users (or soon-to-be users). I had the usual slide presentations and demonstrations, yet found that in the majority of the cities, our time would consist of 70% Q&A and...

"We love how the card turned out. We used the "vintage" look with our photo and liked how it looked. We also loved the greeting."
"The paper quality and photo quality was amazing. Thick card stock and the photo print was not grainy like many companies can be. It was perfect!"
"My photo for our family holiday card was taken with my phone. The customer service representative called to make sure I wanted to go ahead with my order since the photo was not completely clear. I really appreciated the excellent customer service."

Reading Patch Club
In order to promote reading as an ongoing pastime, the Wichita Falls Public Library is pleased to host the Reading Patch Club!
This year-round reading club is open to children through 6th grade. Most patches are earned as children read books independently. However, we also offer two patches for children who are not yet reading alone. Participants earn patches by reading books of a certain type or genre, and listing them in a log. This is a self-paced program, so you don't have to worry about a time limit!
Children are encouraged to read books on their reading level -- the number of books required to complete a log depends on reading level. Suggested titles for various categories are available in the Youth Area. There are approximately 25 different patches to choose from, so there's sure to be one for your interests. Pick up a reading log at the Youth Desk and get started reading!
To see lists of recommended titles for many of our patches, check out our book recommendations!

When you were a student, you may recall having had a peer mentor. This was someone you could look up to and turn to when you needed advice or were unsure of something. Maybe you had the opportunity to be a mentor for someone else as well. Peer mentors are becoming increasingly common in the mental health field and have been known to provide mental health patients with a successful recovery.
Peer mentors are a supplemental service to the primary care a patient receives. Here are some advantages a peer mentor can offer:
We all need encouragement at some point during our lives. Who better to give it than those who have been through it before, know how tough it can be and have a proven track record of overcoming difficulties and moving forward with their lives?

Faux Fur Contrast Sleeve Jacket
Style # 202756
With glossy leatherette sleeves and plush faux fur collar, this bebe jacket is luxe fall no-brainer. Throw it over a pair of coated denim for a shot of weekend cool.
- 100% acrylic.
- Sleeve length: 25" (64 cm). Center back to hem: 21" (53 cm).
- Dry clean.
- Imported.
- Model is 5'9" and is wearing a US size S.
Rated 4 out of 5�by 1 reviewer.
Rated 4 out of 5�by Sam007 Nice jacket I would recommend sizing up on this one unless you plan on wearing the jacket open like I do. I purchased a small in this one. The shape of the back looks nice and very well tailored. My only complaint with this piece is that the faux fur sheds a lot. If this is something you don't mind-- then go for it. I think I'll keep it. October 25, 2012

Schools in Charleston and Dorchester counties are going into bus strike preparation mode starting Monday, meaning their doors will open one hour earlier and stay open until the last child goes home.
Charleston County School Superintendent Nancy McGinley said she didn't know whether a bus driver strike will be called, but she asked parents to use the weekend to make alternate transportation plans starting Monday.
This is the second time this week McGinley has held a press conference asking families to prepare.
Should a strike be called, transportation would only be provided for special education students on that first day, she said.
Schools have been asked to create site-specific plans for children if a strike occurs.
A bus strike hotline soon will be up and running, Charleston County school officials said.
Dorchester County School District 2 School Superintendent Joe Pye said the situation there is not as critical as it appears to be in Charleston County, but he urged District 2 parents to be prepared.
Dorchester 2 will follow preparations similar to what is taking place in Charleston County, Pye said. Schools will be opening an hour earlier on Monday. If a strike is called, only the buses for special education students will be on the road the first day,
Pye also said the school district will be advertising for replacement drivers this beginning this weekend. He said driver training takes about a week and he urged residents to apply for the jobs.
Training for the new drivers will begin Monday, Pye said.

This story was corrected at 3 p.m. Jan. 9. An explanation follows the story.
Residents of several Vienna neighborhoods along a planned new bus route are continuing their efforts to get Fairfax County officials to eliminate or alter the planned service.
The planned Fairfax Connector Route 432, which the Board of Supervisors approved in July despite the community opposition, would offer bus service to the Spring Hill Metro Station and adjacent Tysons businesses from Old Courthouse, Creek Crossing and Beulah roads. It would make 10 trips per day, with service only during the morning and evening rush hours.
"Tysons is transforming and, as it transforms, it is becoming more urban," said Tom Biesiadny, director of the Fairfax County Department of Transportation. "We want to provide alternatives so, as Tysons develops, people can get to Tysons without having to drive your car."
Residents who live in communities off Creek Crossing Road and East Street say that virtually no one in their neighborhoods would use the bus and that they have safety concerns about buses running on the narrow residential streets.
"Creek Crossing Road is a cut-through street," said resident Sidney Skjei. "They drive fast and they don't drive well. … Throwing a bus onto that street is like throwing gasoline on a fire."
In a public meeting Wednesday that became quite heated at times, residents excoriated Supervisor Cathy Hudgins (D-Hunter Mill) for not respecting their desire to not have the bus.
"No one has ever explained to us why this route is the best," said Creek Crossing Civic Association President Beverly Jurenko. "You need to prove to us that this is the only viable route."
Some suggested that there must be some larger motivation for the proposal, such as a plan to use their community for de facto parking for the Tysons Metro stations, which will not have public parking lots.
"Who is this bus really for?" asked resident Pam Styles. "It is not for us. We don't want it."
Biesiadny and Hudgins said that they do not expect people to park in the neighborhoods to take a bus to Metro, but noted that the county has a number of options including permit parking, should parking become a problem.
They also noted that there are communities along other portions of the route that are very supportive of the new bus route.
Hudgins said she has tried to address the community's concerns about safety. The Board of Supervisors asked county transportation staff to review pedestrian safety concerns in the community.
Transportation planners also evaluated eight different possible routes for the 432, Biesiadny said, and came to the conclusion that the proposed route was the most feasible in terms of cost, safety and other factors.
"This is the route that we feel has the best chance of success," Biesiadny said.
Wednesday's meeting originally was designed to solicit community input on proposed sidewalk and trail repair and installation along Creek Crossing and Old Courthouse, as well as possible traffic calming measures. The community already suffers from regular cut-through traffic from commuters, according to residents.
However, while some said the infrastructure upgrades are sorely needed whether the bus moves ahead or not, most residents attending the meeting were not interested in discussing infrastructure improvements.
Hudgins pledged to meet with residents again to discuss in detail the criteria for selecting the proposed route and to talk through possible alternatives.
Without additional action by the Board of Supervisors, service on Route 432 and other new routes serving the Silver Line stations is slated to begin when the new rail line opens, expected to be this spring.
Correction: The original version of this story incorrectly spelled Tom Biesiadny's name.

Comments about XRP 18V Cordless Lithium-Ion 4-Tool Combo Kit:
The Dewalt 18v combo kit is a great product to own and Dewalt has the best warranty I have ever seen but there are two problems that I have had with this dewalt combo kit.
The first one is that I've owned this kit for a little more then a month now and I've had to replace both batteries already. When I went to replace the second battery, the guy said that they may be going out because the batteries should be charged in a place where temps are cool like an air conditioned house. Well, I work on new construction houses everyday where there is no air conditioning yet. I always charge in the shade though, never in direct sunlight, but both batteries still went out. The dewalt charger should have a fan that keeps the batteries cool while charging like the Makita charger has.
The second is that, while I love the idea of there being a work light on the impact and hammer drill, it only stays on while the trigger is being pulled back. Unlike the makita where it stays on a full 10 seconds after the trigger has been let go of. That extra lighting comes in very handy when your working in tight, dark areas all day.
For those two reasons I've traded the Dewalt 18v combo kit in for a Makita 18v combo kit. But if Dewalt would fix those two problems then I would go back the Dewalt in a flash!

Richmond, Va. (April 29, 2013) – In nothing less than a dramatic Sprint Cup ending, Carl Edwards held strong with a sixth-place finish after the final caution of the day drew with only six laps remaining ,vaulting him to second place in the points standings going into next weekend's race in Talladega.
"Yeah, that is what this race and sport is supposed to be about," said Edwards. "It is supposed to be a battle of crew chiefs and strategy and Jeff Burton stayed out and held on with no tires and we had two tires and I was three wide in turn one and Harvick goes by on four tires. That is exciting and I am really happy with the tire and race track and I think it bodes well for the rest of the season with this Gen 6 car."
Edwards began the night in 28th-place but revealed the strength of the No. 99 Geek Squad Ford as he remained steady and climbed the field the first half of the race. In the beginning, Edwards was concerned with what the front of the car was doing, as his main feedback was that the front was "numb" and wasn't able to feel the grip on the front end of the car.
Midway through the race Edwards was sitting in 11th-place and powered through to third-place upon a quick 20 laps. Edwards once again was able to gain another spot, climbing to second place as the race saw the last 100 laps. Unfortunately, with several cautions throughout the night, strategy on the ninth restart did not prove favorable and the No. 99 was shuffled back to 10th place.
Determined to muscle through the pack once again, Edwards took the No. 99 Geek Squad Ford back to the top and was looking at an eighth-place finish when the final caution went out with only six laps remaining. With one last chance to gain track position on the restart, Edwards was moved up to fourth place when the green flag dropped and although was shuffled once again, finished strong in sixth-place as the checkered flag drew.
"At a track like this track position is so important and we saw that at the end there," Edwards continued. "All in all it was a great night and we had a fast race car and some really hard racing. I had a blast and the middle 50-percent of the race or so was about as much fun as I've ever had at Richmond."
Edwards returns to the second superspeedway of the season for the Aaron's 499 at Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday, May 5th at 1 p.m. on FOX.

7-Count Indictment Including Charges of:
-Medicare and Medicaid fraud/submitting claims for equipment not delivered
-kickbacks to recruiters for referral of beneficiaries to Yellabone Medical Equipment
-receiving $1.1 million from fraudulent claims
Two Bryan women were arrested and charged with health care fraud on Thursday.
Federal prosecutors say 41 year old Yolanda Nowlin and 49 year old Carla Parnell engaged in a scheme to defraud Medicare and Medicaid.
A 7-count indictment alleges they submitted claims for medical equipment that were not delivered, not wanted, and not needed by beneficiaries.
The indictment also alleges Nowlin and Parnell paid kickbacks to recruiters for the referral of patients to their company, Yellabone Medical Equipment in Bryan.
The U.S. Attorney's office says the pair received more than $1.1 million from fraudulent claims between July of 2003 and December of 2009.
