By TOM MCCOURTGuest contributor
Every year at Christmastime we write letters to Santa, but this year I thought I'd do something different. Since we celebrate the birth of baby Jesus, I decided to address my letter to Him. Some of you atheists, agnostics, and willful non-believers might want to skip this column and go directly to the sports page.
Dear Baby Jesus,
I have no gold, frankincense, or myrrh to give you; only a grateful heart and a promise to be the best old grandpa that I can. I know my gift is imperfect in many ways. Sometimes I forget to be thankful, and there are always things I could do to be a better grandpa, father, husband, brother, and friend. But I'll keep trying to do my best in the hope that someday you might find my efforts a worthy gift.
I want to thank you for all you have done for me. I especially appreciate the peace and joy you have brought into my life. I lived a long time in the shadow of doubt and it was a wonderful thing to find the light of your glorious promise. When I was cold and lonely you welcomed me into the warmth of your presence. I will never forget how wonderful it made me feel that first time I was close to you when I needed a friend. Thank you for being patient with me and allowing me to make that discovery on my own.
Thank you for watching over me when I needed the shelter of an angel's wings to protect me and keep me safe. You were with me in Vietnam, on those slick winter highways, and during those long dark nights in the coal mine. I didn't always feel your presence, but looking back I can see the imprint of your tender mercy on my life.
Thank you for the gift of a wonderful wife. We've been together for many years now and we still walk through life hand in hand like a couple of children lost in the forest. Life is full of trouble, sorrows and heartbreak. It's nice to have a helping hand to hold onto and a shoulder to lean on. I'm grateful for her influence, her love and her help.
Thank you for my four handsome sons. Raising them from babies has taught me what life is all about. They are all good men and I'm proud of them. I'm sorry that I didn't do some things better as a father, but recognizing those mistakes has made me less critical of my own parents and grandparents. Life is about learning and sometimes we learn best from our mistakes. Thank goodness for grandchildren. My grandchildren have given me a second chance to be more loving, tolerant, and involved with more loving, tolerant, and involved with little kids, and I'm trying hard to make up for what I missed. But maybe I'm just an old man now with more time and compassion than I had when I was young.
And thank you, baby Jesus, for those beautiful grandchildren. They remind me of the magic of life. In those bright eyes I find the wonder of Santa Claus, the charming truth of the Tooth Fairy, and the hopeful search for monsters under the bed. And I marvel at the perfect faith in God of little children. In their prayers I find hope for the future and the satisfaction that the little ones are off to a good moral start in life.
Thank you for this big wonderful world we live in. I love the red rock desert, the forested mountains and the amber fields of grain. I love to see your signature in the sunrise and the glory of your presence in the fire of a desert sunset. I marvel at the night sky in all of her diamond-dusted splendor. And who but you would have thought to give us a moon, that bright frosted face of night that lights our way so we are never in total darkness.
And thank you, baby Jesus, for your life and your good example. I know it must pain you to see the awful state of things here in our world today. I'll try hard not to disappoint you after all you did for me.
With love and gratitude,
Your friend, Tom
P.S. Please say hello to mom for me.

Intra-abdominal abscess
An intra-abdominal abscess is a pocket of infected fluid and pus located inside the belly (abdominal cavity). There may be more than one abscess.
Alternative Names
Abscess - intra-abdominal
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
An intra-abdominal abscess can be caused by a ruptured appendix, ruptured intestinal diverticulum, inflammatory bowel disease, parasite infection in the intestines (Entamoeba histolytica), or other condition.
Risk factors include a history of appendicitis, diverticulitis, perforated ulcer disease, or any surgery that may have infected the abdominal cavity.
Depending on the location, symptoms may include:
- Abdominal pain and distention
- Chills
- Diarrhea
- Fever
- Lack of appetite
- Nausea
- Rectal tenderness and fullness
- Vomiting
- Weakness
Signs and tests
A complete blood count may show a higher than normal white blood count. A comprehensive metabolic panel may show liver, kidney, or blood chemistry problems.
A CT scan of the abdomen will usually reveal an intra-abdominal abscess. After the CT scan is done, a needle may be placed through the skin into the abscess cavity to confirm the diagnosis and treat the abscess.
Other tests may include:
- Abdominal x-ray
- Ultrasound of the abdomen
Sometimes surgery called a laparotomy may be needed to diagnose this condition.
Treatment of an intra-abdominal abscess requires antibiotics (given by an IV) and drainage. Drainage involves placing a needle through the skin in the abscess, usually under x-ray guidance. The drain is then left in place for days or weeks until the abscess goes away.
Occasionally, abscesses cannot be safely drained this way. In such cases, surgery must be done while the patient is under general anesthesia (unconscious and pain-free). A cut is made in the belly area (abdomen), and the abscess is drained and cleaned. A drain is left in the abscess cavity, and remains in place until the infection goes away.
It is always important to identify and treat the cause of the abscess.
Expectations (prognosis)
The outlook depends on the original cause of the abscess and how bad the infection is. Generally, drainage is successful in treating intra-abdominal abscesses that have not spread.
Complications include:
- Return of the abscess
- Rupture of an abscess
- Spread of the infection to the bloodstream
- Widespread infection in the abdomen
Calling your health care provider
Call your doctor if you have severe abdominal pain, fevers, nausea, vomiting, or changes in bowel habits.

Welcome to the House of Dreams
Hello and welcome to my home, the beautiful "House of Dreams." I am Kathleen Hurley, the innkeeper at Casa de Suenos. I purchased this inn, which is over 100 years old, in July 2001 and fulfilled my "dream" of owning and operating a bed and breakfast in the historic and charming city of St. Augustine, Florida. My St. Augustine Bed and Breakfast is unlike many of the other Bed and Breakfasts in St. Augustine; it is truly a dream.
The "House of Dreams" is located in the heart of Saint Augustine's historic district. Although it is close to everything, it is far from the ordinary. Most guests at my B&B park their vehicles in the free parking lot on site, and explore this magical city by foot. Within walking distance from the Inn are fabulous restaurants for dining, historic attractions, museums, art galleries, shopping and wonderful tours. A magical St. Augustine vacation awaits, with the beach and many water activities just a short drive away.
After a busy and fun day, you'll return to your room at Casa de Suenos where you will be able to enjoy its quiet and welcoming ambiance. In the morning you will wake, rested and rejuvenated, to the wonderful aromas coming from the kitchen. I will be up early preparing coffee and a delicious full breakfast for you to enjoy in the sunlit Dining Room where you can watch the Ancient City beginning the day.
Please browse around my website and experience the wonderful life at "Casa de Suenos". Come for a visit soon, I look forward to welcoming you, as a first time guest, or on what I hope will become one of your many return visits to my Inn and fair city.
Kathleen Hurley, Innkeeper

What Donald Fehr Told The Players About The Make Whole
At CBC they have the full memo of what Donald Fehr sent to the players about the Make Whole proposal and the concession that the owners made.
"You may have seen media reports this evening of a supposed league "offer" regarding the "make-whole" aspect of the negotiations. There have been no proposals from either side since the last talks took place on October 18th. As was discussed in detail by Steve Fehr on the Executive Board/Negotiating call yesterday, in informal conversations with the NHL this week, we have continued to explore how we can get back to the table and discussed with the NHL the issues we need to resolve, including the "make-whole" provision. We will continue to keep you updated and will let you know if anything concrete comes from these discussions. Meanwhile you should not read too much into media reports about informal phone calls.
"Following further phone conversations today, Bill Daly and Steve will meet tomorrow in a city and location that both sides have agreed to keep confidential in an attempt to keep the focus on the talks and not on conducting media scrums. We will update everyone following this meeting tomorrow."

MACHIAS, Maine (NEWS CENTER)-- When a family member loses the ability to live independently, often times a younger family member will take responsibility for his or her care. But sometimes those who provide care are not prepared for the multitude of things that can happen as we grow older. A Maine conference held today sought to remind those who care for family and friends that they are not alone. There are an abundance of resources available in the state to help them provide the best care they can to the ones that matter most.
Naida Pennell, Coordinator of Community Services at the University of Maine at Machias, struggled to find answers as a caregiver for her mother. That challenge led her to organize the 2013 Caregivers Conference. The free event held today on the UMM campus brought together experts from around the state to answer questions on topics such as hands on care, protecting family assets and the impacts conditions like dementia can have on a person. Experts say the need for this type of information will only increase, especially in Maine.
"Maine being the oldest state by median age in the country, we need to be preparing for these things," said Kathryn Pears, CEO of Dementia Care. "Families need to be getting the information. There isn't enough information in the long term care system to provide professional services, so we really need to do everything we can to support the family members."
Ultimately, organizations said the goal was to remind caretakers in Eastern Maine that there is help out there. And most importantly, that they are not alone.
Those interested in researching more about caregiving can visit the following sites:

Video: 'Ashes on the Run' for Ash Wednesday
BUFFALO, NY-- Today is Ash Wednesday ... marking the start of the Lenten season.
And this year, Christians in the City of Buffalo had a new way to receive their ashes.
Those unable to attend services today, were offered "Ashes on the Run" - by walking or driving by the parking of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Buffalo. It's the first time the church has offered something like this before. They say it's a good way to share their faith with everyone.
"We just though it was another way for us to share our faith in a public way," said Rev. Lee Miller of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church. "For those that couldn't get here at regular times, to let them know something was offered for them as well."

When i was a little girl, i knew someone who would take me with them to drop my pets off out on back roads. I'm here(at peta2) because i will never do something so awful to my pets, and i will NEVER teach my children something so cruel and just plain wrong. #weareallanimals <3
I'm one and a million, and I would have been already forgotten yet if it wasn't of PETA. The world should be free-for all, so I choose to make a difference, to be part of the solution
I really love the environment, and before PETA I thought being vegan was the only thing I could do to help. I'm so glad there's something else I can do, I love showing the posters and stickers to my friends and I even talked my cheer coach into letting me give out stickers at a football game. :D

By MELANIE STEELESports Reporter
Carbon volleyball is rolling through the early parts of their season, defeating most teams easily.
Tuesday's game against Uintah was no exception. The Lady Dinos won three straight games over the Lady Utes by large margins.
The final game scores were 25-16, 25-12, and 25-16.
Hitting errors by Uintah and strong net play by Carbon brought about the solid Dino win.
"We had a few unforced errors," Bean added, "But we're getting better."
Carbon also nabbed a win on their road trip to Park City last Thursday. The match was another shutout, with Carbon winning the first three games.
Coach Bruce Bean stated that he never knows from year to year which schools are going to be strong.
A lot of teams in the state have undergone coaching changes, which upsets the balance of the team, Bean commented.
However, Bean said he expects today's game against Wasatch to be tough.
"Wasatch is a good ball club," Bean noted.
Carbon will also host a tournament this weekend at the high school.
Tournament play begins tomorrow.

CES 2013: Editor's Choice Awards
When is a phone too big? Android device-makers have been toeing the line ever since they decided the original iPhone was just plain small and blew past its tidy proportions. Now Samsung's gone downright crazy with the Galaxy Note II, a phone so big the company won't even call it a phone and insists on "phablet." Given the Note II's 5.5-inch screen, you might think one-handed operation is a no-go. But with some tweaks, you can tame this beast and make it act like a docile smartphone.
You might wonder (or you might have commented to your friend with the sprawling device): If the phone's too big, why not just get a smaller one? If you're like me, your phone has evolved into a personal assistant and left your laptop collecting dust by the front door. But using your phone this way demands more screen size. So give a big phone a serious try' not the 10 minutes in the store, but a real try. Odds are you won't go back.
Price: Free
Every phone manufacturer puts a skin over the standard Android OS to try to differentiate themselves from one another. Whether it's Touchwiz, Blur, or Sense, these skins all have one thing in common: They're not optimized for giant phones. Try the Nova or Apex launchers instead. They work much better and offer a slew of customizations such as infinite-scrolling pages, a separate scrolling dock bar, and a hide/show notification bar. Most importantly, they add gestures, which allows you to swipe in different directions to control actions or apps. For instance, on my phone, swiping down reveals the notification menu, and a double tap shows my recent apps' saving my poor, aching thumb from overstretching.
First Look at CES 2013

The World Ocean Floor map represented the culmination of years of effort on the part of Professor Bruce C. Heezen and his partner, Marie Tharp, of Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory (currently Earth Observatory). The foundations of this research were a) the tremendous accretion of bathymetric data collected by various institutions and b)the particular alchemy resulting fom the combined talents of Heezen and Tharp.
Ocean mapping data was primarily derived from seismic reflection data acquired by the profiler systems aboard vessels like R.V. Vema and Conrad. Data reduction technicians organized the information by photographic and, later on, digital means. Researchers were then able to select ship tracks in a given area of interest and begin to develop a picture of the topography of the ocean floor. In the case of an earlier map project, this approach led Tharp to rethink previously
held opinions and to forcefully argue for the the idea of sea-floor spreading. Heady stuff coming from the girl who did the drafting.
Looking back, I'm fascinated at the conceptual differential between the analog and digital approaches. In the past, dozens of eyes spent hundreds of hours looking at raw and reduced data intent on piecing together an accurate picture of the bottom. Paper was literally cut-and-pasted
and pen-and-ink drawings generated. As in the digital realm, a certain amount of interpolation was neccessary to fill in the gaps. Eventually a decision had to be made to put down the pens, cap the glue pots and go to press. All this went by the wayside eventually. Shortly before the WOF map came to fruition, I was aboard the R.V. Conrad as the bugs were shaken out of the new multi-channel seismic system. No more sparker and dirty fingers in the drafting room. GIGO replaced the Leroy template and pen.
As for the oil painting, Swiss artist Heinrich Berann of ski-poster fame did the honors. I don't remember exact dimensions but it appeared to be approximately 2/3 the size of the 48"x 96" map.
A black plate with label completed the package and off it went to the printer in Minneapolis, Minnesota who had a press large enough to print it.
I must add this comment: Heezen and Tharp were very representative examples of the "maverick" personality the times required. Marie once told me that certain big-league scientific personages
believed that "color was wicked". I hope that some of the younger cartographers might visit a Lamont-Doherty Open House if possible (see the website: www.ldeo.columbia.edu). Also, a great read in the field would be "Upheaval from the Abyss" by David M. Lawrence.Thanks for your message!

Last Man Standing
02 May 13
Despite repeated contamination from genetically modified crops on his farm, Spanish farmer Felix Ballarín refuses to abandon his cultivation of organic corn in Sariñena, Aragon. With 25 years experience behind him, the discovery that neighboring fields planted with GM corn had contaminated his sought-after product dealt a heavy blow to his life's work and future earnings. Even a minimal trace of GM strains means he is unable to sell his harvest as an organic product.
But unlike the majority of organic corn farmers in Spain, Félix Ballarín hasn't given up the fight. As production of organic corn drops, organic farmers are finding it increasingly difficult to source quality feed for their animals, with many resorting to importing the coveted organic product from abroad. Blanca Ruibal, coordinator of the agricultural association Amigos de la Tierra, says: "mostly these imports come from France, as well as Italy. Here in Spain, organic corn farming is in danger of disappearing altogether."
"Over the past five years, 90 percent of farmers who produced organic corn in Aragon have ceased their cultivation due to contamination by genetically modified corn, with the number of cases increasing dramatically over the last three years," confirmed José Manuel Benítez, organic agriculture coordinator at COAG (Coordinator of Growers and Livestock farmers Organizations). According to Benítez, in the years prior to 2010 "the total area devoted to cultivating organic corn decreased dramatically. In Aragon alone, it reduced by 70% over five years."
The total area planted with organic corn in Aragon rose slightly between 2010 and 2011 - from 649 hectares up to 695 – but there is no data on how much of the yield remains uncontaminated. With the high risk of contamination, those organic famers who are continuing to cultivate corn are resorting to changing their planting dates to reduce their vulnerability. But by choosing to plant outside the optimal period they decrease the likelihood of a high yield.
Contaminated organic corn crops are also a big problem for breeders. "Here in Andalucia organic animal farmers have never had access to high-quality pastures rich in protein, so we are forced to buy organic corn or soy. Now we have to import corn or use an alternative less nutritious fodder, such as beans or chickpeas, "says Benítez. "We commit to buying organic corn in bulk even before the fields have been harvested, but it is impossible to exclude the possibility that the harvest will test positive for GM traceability."
And the risk is very high. According to Amigos de la Tierra, currently "90% of Europe's GM crops are concentrated in Spain, while countries like France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Greece, Bulgaria, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Ireland, Hungary and Austria have banned such cultivations, citing a number of important unresolved questions of the effects of transgenic crops on health and the natural environment."
Unfortunately the problem is not limited to corn. "In Spain, corn is the only commercial GM crop, but others have been approved for experimental cultivation, provided they are not sold," says Ruibal. "The Ministry of Agriculture makes the names of the companies which have applied to plant these experimental crops publically available, but they do not specify the exact location of the land concerned."
The situation in Spain is particularly severe, but the same story can be found the world over: genetically modified crops are invading fields close by (and some that are not so close by), contaminating both the organic and conventional (non organic, non GM) food industries. Until such time that we are 100 percent certain the coexistence among GM and conventional/organic agriculture is possible, we must avoid it at all costs.
"I will continue to plant organic corn just to prove that it is impossible to produce these crops reliably when the surrounding fields are literally flooded with GM corn," says Ballarín. "I want to show that the harmonious coexistence of GM and organic plants cannot be guaranteed - on the contrary it is impossible." Today Ballarín is the last remaining organic farmer in the Sariñena area.

Turkey to Go game
Turkey Fling
Thanksgiving Turkey - I Will Survive!
Eh, some are pretty funny
Tis the night before Thanksgiving and all through our house
No turkey is baking; I feel like a louse,
For I am all nestled, so snug in my bed;
I'm not gettin' up and I'm not bakin' bread.
No pies in my oven, no cranberry sauce
Cuz I give the orders, and I am the boss.
When out in the kitchen, there arose such a clatter
I almost got up to see what was the matter.
As I drew in my head and was tossing around
To the bed came my husband, he grimaced, he frowned.
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
He scared me to death and I thought, "Here he goes!"
He spoke not a word as he threw back my quilt
And the look that he gave was intended to wilt.
So up to the ceiling my pillows he threw
I knew I had had it, his face had turned blue.
"You prancer, you dodger, you're lazy, you vixen
Out yonder in kitchen, Thanksgiving you're fixin."
But he heard me explain, with my face in a pout:
"I'm just plain too tired and we're eating out!"
When I was a young turkey, new to the coop,
My big brother Mike took me out on the stoop,
Then he sat me down, and he spoke real slow,
And he told me there was something that I had to know;
His look and his tone I will always remember,
When he told me of the horrors of ..... Black November;
"Come about August, now listen to me,
Each day you'll be thick, where once you were thin,
And you'll grow a big rubbery thing under your chin.
"And then one morning, when you're warm in your bed,
In'll burst the farmer's wife, and hack off your head;
"Then she'll pluck out all your feathers so you're bald'n pink,
And scoop out all your insides and leave ya lyin' in the sink,
"And then comes the worst part" he said not bluffing,
"She'll spread your cheeks and pack your rear with stuffing".
Well, the rest of his words were too grim to repeat,
I sat on the stoop like a winged piece of meat,
And decided on the spot that to avoid being cooked,
I'd have to lay low and remain overlooked;
I began a new diet of nuts and granola,
High-roughage salads, juice and diet cola,
And as they ate pastries, chocolates and crepes,
I stayed in my room doing Jane Fonda tapes,
I maintained my weight of two pounds and a half,
And tried not to notice when the bigger birds laughed;
But 'twas I who was laughing, under my breath,
As they chomped and they chewed, ever closer to death;
And sure enough when Black November rolled around,
I was the last turkey left in the entire compound;
So now I'm a pet in the farmer's wife's lap;
I haven't a worry, so I eat and I nap,
She held me today, while sewing and humming,
And smiled at me and said "Christmas is coming..."

Thank you Inky!
It's the day before Thanksgiving, and the butcher is just locking up when a man begins pounding on the front door.
"Please let me in," says the man desperately. "I forgot to buy a turkey, and my wife will kill me if I don't come home with one."
"Okay," says the butcher. "Let me see what I have left." He goes into the freezer and discovers that there's only one scrawny turkey left. He brings it out to show the man.
"That's one is too skinny. What else you got?" says the man.
The butcher takes the bird back into the freezer and waits a few minutes and brings the same turkey back out to the man.
"Oh, no," says the man, "That one doesn't look any better. You better give me both of them!"
Thanks for bringing this back up, TT.
ThunderThighs wrote:Sigh. And we lose another holiday. It's an American holiday.
Not as American as you may have been led to believe. After the reformation in England, Protestants were a bit miffed that they had lost all the Catholic feast days in in the split, so to appease the masses Church leaders dusted off an old Pagan harvest festival and called it Thanksgiving. Puritans, unhappy with the concept of fixed holidays (and who pretty much enjoyed being unhappy in general) said that we should only have Thanksgiving when we actually had something extraordinary to give thanks for, like the end of a plague or growing enough food to keep them alive through the winter. This is the type of Thanksgiving the Pilgrims celebrated. Today's Thanksgiving has far more in common with the earlier, Reformationist attempts at a Catholic/Pagan style annual festival. That makes it an English holiday, even though it's not officially celebrated in England anymore.

20060313 - various problems with avisync - HIGH references: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.transcode.devel/3907 description: avisync delivers very wrong results if used to shift or pad audio track. It also sometimes segfault when closing. See reference(s) message(s) for details and use cases. status: (partly confirmed, need info) I knew those issues are grave, but proper fixing them require a perhaps deep review/rewrite of avilib, that isn't suitable for 1.0.x branch and was not scheduled for 1.1.0. note: affect CVS too.
20060210 - transcode seems to produce incorrect xvid/ac3 avi - MEDIUM references: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.transcode.devel/3823 description: quoting above reference: "I use transcode to produce xvid-coded avi's with ac3 sound. With transcode-0.6.14 a rather nasty bug appeared: there is no sound anymore after seeking forward or backward when playing a movie with the Windows Media Player. This happens only if the avi is > 2GB." status: (need info) I need to investigate further to fully understand what's going on, and replicate the issue. Cant't yet esclude a (partially) WMP issue. note: affects HEAD/NMS branches too.
20060122 - segfault when closing an AVI file - HIGH references: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.transcode.user/18953 description: transcode, as well as any tool linked to avilib, segfault sometimes when closing a AVI file. This bug seems to emerge mostly when opening in read mode some OpenDML files. Still missing a method to replicate easily this issue. status: (confirmed) Looking for an easy way to trigger the bug note: affects HEAD/NMS branches too.
20060120 - NTSC fps misdetection on some MPEG-PS - MEDIUM references: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.transcode.devel/3810 description: tcprobe misdetect NTSC framerate on some sample files.

20051217 - various issues with filter_subtitler - MEDIUM references: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.transcode.user/18628 description: filter_subtitler seems to have multiple issues: lacks of documentation about dependencies, and it seems to not load properly even if succesfully builded status: (need info) I need to investigate further to fully understand what's going on.
experimental solutions, candidates for 1.0.3
20060216 - transcode seems to produce incorrect xvid/pcm avi - MEDIUM references: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.transcode.user/19157 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.transcode.user/19162 description: when transcoding mjpeg/pcm to xvid/pcm, audio stream seems to be 'too fast'. This was experienced with some windows players. Additionally, using tcprobe on such suspect transcoded files shows that audio bitrate is detected as double as transcode was supposed to encode. (see reference #2) solution: not seems a real transcode problem, this issue was solved using different command line parameters: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.transcode.user/19449
20060329 - hangup in Fedora Core 5 using ImageMagick filter modules - HIGH references: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.transcode.user/19252 description: Matthias Saou reported that running 'tcmodinfo -i compare' or 'tcmodinfo -i logo' will cause an hangup using vanilla transcode 1.0.2 on Fedora Core 5. solution: for filter_compare, this patch should solve this issue: http://fromani.exit1.org/tc-patches-1.0.x/filter_compare-fixes-try2.patch please note that this patch also solve another issue reported below for filter_logo, this patch should solve this issue: http://fromani.exit1.org/tc-patches-1.0.x/filter_logo-hangup-try1.patch please note that filter_logo included in future 1.1.0 release was significantly rewritten, so this fix isn't suitable for it.
20060216 - bug (probable segfault) when running transcode from another process - HIGH references: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.transcode.devel/3829 description: invoking transcode by another program seems to cause a filedescriptor mismatch under some circustances (ex: invoking from httpd, see references). This will lead at least to a crash in tcprobe. status: (confirmed) preliminary fix landed in CVS, but this solution isn't (and it will hardly be) suitable for inclusion in 1.0.x series.
20060130 - export_pcm module sometimes produces empty output file - LOW references: ??? description: export_pcm produces empty output file under certain circustances. Example: audio stereo and outputfile_c.pcm solution: new module (partially rewritten) here: http://fromani.exit1.org/tc-patches-1.0.x/export_pcm.c to install it, backup the vanilla 1.0.2 module, then drop the new one in transcode-1.0.2/export and recompile as usual. please report any problem caused by this module.

Trout - June 15 through Oct 1
The Wallowa River is an excellent rainbow trout fishery with fish scattered from where it leaves Wallowa Lake through the Wallowa valley and through the Wallowa canyon and finally to where it joins the Grande Ronde below Minum Park. The river holds bull trout, white fish and rainbow trout. It also has a strong population of Steelhead trout depending on the time of year.
The best areas to catch Rainbow trout include the lowers sections of the Wallowa River. Blue Fox or Panther Martin spinners are a great choice for this river. Some of our favorite places include the pools below Big Canyon hatchery and the Wallowa below Minim State Park. Any place on the river that you can get away from the road is usually good fishing. Try walking the railroad tracks opposite the canyon road and you will catch the most fish.
If you like fly fishing try using stimulators, bead headed nymphs and caddis patterns. Some resources for catching fish include josephflyshoppe.com, eaglecapfishing.com and www.windingwatersrafting.com.
During the fall and the spring Steelhead are in the Wallowa River. There are two hatcheries on the Wallowa. There is one hatchery at Big Canyon about 3 miles upriver from Minum and one just below Enterprise. We fish for steelhead in all sections of the river though most of the fishing is done below the Big Canyon Hatchery. Jigs, salmon eggs and a variety of steelhead techniques will work. When steelheads are in the river it seems everyone is catching fish.
For information on fishing see the Wallowa River see: www.windingwatersrafting.com OR www.eaglecapfishing.com

En español | Q: I'm 71, still working and collecting Social Security. When I retire soon, I'll have a $150,000 lump sum coming to me from my employer. Can I give the $150,000 to Social Security and get an increase in my monthly benefit?
A: Sorry, but the answer is no. That's not the way Social Security works. Social Security benefits are based on your lifetime earnings — in particular your highest 35 years. There is simply no way for you to add earnings this way to your record.
So you'll have to find another way to use your $150,000. You might consider seeking advice from a certified financial planner (CFP) in your community. Try the Financial Planning Association at www.fpanet.org or, for fee-only planners, try the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors at www.napfa.org.
Q: My mother died at age 52, my father at age 58. What happens to all the money that they paid into Social Security and never collected?
A: Basically, the money has already been used to pay benefits to other people, whether they're the children of a 30-year-old widow or retirees who've lived into their 80s or 90s. Social Security is not like a retirement account, in which you put money that accumulates interest and comes back to you as benefits. Rather, today's contributions fund benefits for today's beneficiaries. Had your parents lived long enough to begin benefits, their monthly checks would have been funded by contributions of people still working.
Community: Share your fears about Social Security. Join the Discussion
In the Social Security system, some workers will contribute more than they will receive in benefits, while others will contribute less. To that extent, Social Security is a bit of a gamble. Perhaps that's one of the reasons many people take their Social Security benefits at 62, the earliest age they can do so, even though the amount they get is reduced.

Dr. James M. Herman's Ratings
A couple of months ago I discovered that I needed a micsrodisectomy on my L5 disc. At the time I was seeing an Orthopedic surgeon who I liked a lot but Dr. Herman was recommmended to my wife and she was very persistent that I meet with him. I have to admit I was a bit skeptical at first because of the time it took to get in but it was well worth the wait. First, I have to say that his office staff is just awesome. They are extremely courteous and friendly, something you rarely find in most offices these days. Secondly Dr Herman's nurse, Cindy, is just straight up awesome went out of her way to make us feel at ease and answer all of our questions. And Dr. Herman was just excellent. He took time to answer al of my question and at two weeks post op I feel beter than I have in years. I can't recommnd him highly enough.

Dr. Herman operated on me 3 times over 8 years. If it weren''t for him I wouldn''t be able to walk now. He is not "eager" to operate. Rather, he is very concerned with the patient''s psychological readiness for surgery and it''s consequences - it almost seems he''s reluctant to operate unless he''s convinced you''re psychologically ready. He and his staff give as much follow up care as necessary. I can''t imagine a better surgeon. I trust him completely
