Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the Westby Gregory Maguire
Synopses & Reviews
From Powells.com:
Can we safely call Gregory Maguire's Wizard of Oz prequel, Wicked, a sensation? Having sold three-quarters of a million copies since its 1995 publication, now the novel is enjoying a second life as a big-budget Broadway musical directed by Tony Award winner Joe Mantello. In his first book for adults, Maguire explored Oz in the years before Dorothy's arrival, revealing some critical facts too long obscured by L. Frank Baum's 1900 novel and the classic 1939 motion picture. What made the Wicked Witch so wicked, anyway? As Maguire notes, "She wears black and she's kind of ugly; she doesn't seem to take care of her skin very well," but that hardly justifies her nasty reputation. "It's a staggering feat of wordcraft," the Los Angeles Times marveled, "made no less so by the fact that its boundaries were set decades ago by somebody else." Dave, Powells.com

Chapter One Munchkinlanders The Root of Evil
From the crumpled bed the wife said, "I think today's the day. Look how low I've gone."
"Today? That would be like you, perverse and inconvenient," said her husband, teasing her, standing at the doorway and looking outward, over the lake, the fields, the forested slopes beyond. He could just make out the chimneys of Rush Margins, breakfast fires smoking. "The worst possible moment for my ministry. Naturally."
The wife yawned. "There's not a lot of choice involved. From what I hear. Your body gets this big and it takes over--if you can't accommodate it, sweetheart, you just get out of its way. It's on a track of its own and nothing stops it "now."" She pushed herself up, trying to see over the rise of her belly. "I feel like a hostage to myself. Or to the baby."
"Exert some self-control." He came to her side and helped her sit up. "Think of it as a spiritual exercise. Custody of the senses. Bodily as well as ethical continence."
"Self-control?" She laughed, inching toward the edge of the bed. "I have no self left. I'm only a host for the parasite. Where's my "self," anyway? Where'd I leave that tired old thing?"
"Think of me." His tone had changed; he meant this.
"Frex"--she headed him off--"when the volcano's ready there's no priest in the world can pray it quiet."
"What will my fellow ministers think?"
"They'll get together and say, 'Brother Frexspar, did you allow your wife to deliver your first child when you had a community problem to solve? How inconsiderate of you; it shows a lack of authority. You're fired from the position.'" She was ribbing him now, for there was no one to fire him. The nearest bishop wastoo distant to pay attention to the particulars of a unionist cleric in the hinterland.
"It's just such terrible timing."
"I do think you bear half the blame for the timing," she said. "I mean, after all, Frex."
"That's how the thinking goes, but I wonder,"
"You wonder?" She laughed, her head going far back. The line from her ear to the hollow below her throat reminded Frex of an elegant silver ladle. Even in morning disarray, with a belly like a scow, she was majestically good-looking. Her hair had the bright lacquered look of wet fallen oak leaves in sunlight. He blamed her for being born to privilege and admired her efforts to overcome it--and all the while he loved her, too.
"You mean you wonder if you're the father"--she grabbed the bedstead; Frex took hold of her other arm and hauled her half-upright--"or do you question the fatherliness of men in general?" She stood, mammoth, an ambulatory island. Moving out the door at a slug's pace, she laughed at such an idea. He could hear her laughing from the outhouse even as he began to dress for the day's battle.
Frex combed his beard and oiled his scalp. He fastened a clasp of bone and rawhide at the nape of his neck, to keep the hair out of his face, because his expressions today had to be readable from a distance: There could be no fuzziness to his meaning. He applied some coal dust to darken his eyebrows, a smear of red wax on his flat cheeks. He shaded his lips, A handsome priest attracted more penitents than a homely one.
In the kitchen yard Melena floated gently, not with the normal gravity of pregnancy but as if inflated, a huge balloon trailing its strings through the dirt. She carried a skillet in one handand a few eggs and the whiskery tips of autumn chives in the other. She sang to herself, but only in short phrases. Frex wasn't meant to hear her.
His sober gown buttoned tight to the collar, his sandals strapped on over leggings, Frex took from its hiding place--beneath a chest of drawers--the report sent to him from his fellow minister over in the village of Three Dead Trees. He hid the brown pages within his sash. He had been keeping them from his wife, afraid that she would want to come along--to see the fun, if it was amusing, or to suffer the thrill of it if it was terrifying.
As Frex breathed deeply, readying his lungs for a day of oratory, Melena dangled a wooden spoon in the skillet and stirred the eggs. The tinkle of cowbells sounded across the lake. She did not listen; or she listened but to something else, to something inside her. It was sound without melody--like dream music, remembered for its effect but not for its harmonic distresses and recoveries. She imagined it was the child inside her, humming for happiness. She knew he would be a singing child.
Melena heard Frex inside, beginning to extemporize, warming up, calling forth the rolling phrases of his argument, convincing himself again of his righteousness.
How did that proverb go, the one that Nanny singsonged to her, years ago, in the nursery?
Born in the morning,
But she remembered this as a joke, fondly. Woe is the natural end of life, yet we go on having babies.
No, said Nanny, an echo in Melena's mind (and editorializing asusual): No, no, you pretty little pampered hussy. We "don't" go on having babies, that's quite apparent. We only have babies when we're young enough not to know how grim life turns out. Once we really get the full measure of it--we're slow learners, we women--we dry up in disgust and sensibly halt production.
But men don't dry up, Melena objected; they can father to the death.
Ah, we're slow learners, Nanny countered. But "they" can't learn at all.
"Breakfast," said Melena, spooning eggs onto a wooden plate. Her son would not be as dull as most men. She would raise him up to defy the onward progress of woe.
"It is a time of crisis for our society," recited Frex. For a man who condemned worldly pleasures he ate with elegance. She loved to watch the arabesque of fingers and two forks. She suspected that beneath his righteous asceticism he possessed a hidden longing for the easy life.
"Every day is a great crisis for our society." She was being flip, answering him in the terms men use. Dear thick thing, he didn't hear the irony in her voice.
"We stand at a crossroads. Idolatry looms. Traditional values in jeopardy. Truth under siege and virtue abandoned."
"An outstanding work of imagination." USA Today
"A magnificent work, a genuine tour de force." Lloyd Alexander, author of the Chronicles of Prydain
"Listen up, Munchkins. Stop your singing, stop the dancing. The Wicked Witch is no longer dead. But not to worry. Gregory Maguire's shrewdly imagined and beautifully written first novel, Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, not only revives her but re-envisions and redeems her for our times." Newsday
"Maguire combines puckish humor and bracing pessimism in this fantastical meditation on good and evil, God and free will, which should...captivate devotees of fantasy." Publishers Weekly
"Maguire has taken this figure of childhood fantasy and given her a sensual and powerful nature that will stir adult hearts with fear and longing all over again. It's a brilliant trick — and a remarkable treat." Times-Picayune
"It's a staggering feat of wordcraft, made no less so by the fact that its boundaries were set decades ago by somebody else. Would that all books with this much innate consumer appeal were also this good. And vice versa." Los Angeles Times
"[An] amazing novel." John Updike, The New Yorker
"It is for good readers who like satire, and love exceedingly imaginative and clever fantasy." School Library Journal
"That Wicked is a first novel is remarkable because it is so fully realized, so rich and involving. It is the most seamless interweaving of fantasy and reality since John Crowley's peerless Little, Big, written in poetic language as graceful as a Ray Boldger tap-dance." The Commercial Appeal
This is the book that started it all! The basis for the smash hit Tony Award-winning Broadway musical, Gregory Maguire's breathtaking New York Times bestseller Wicked views the land of Oz, its inhabitants, its Wizard, and the Emerald City, through a darker and greener (not rosier) lens. Brilliantly inventive, Wicked offers us a radical new evaluation of one of the most feared and hated characters in all of literature: the much maligned Wicked Witch of the West who, as Maguire tells us, wasnt nearly as Wicked as we imagined.
When Dorothy triumphed over the Wicked Witch of the West in L. Frank Baum's classic tale, we heard only her side of the story. But what about her arch-nemesis, the mysterious Witch? Where did she come from? How did she become so wicked? And what is the true nature of evil?
Gregory Maguire creates a fantasy world so rich and vivid that we will never look at Oz the same way again. Wicked is about a land where animals talk and strive to be treated like first-class citizens, Munchkinlanders seek the comfort of middle-class stability, and the Tin Man becomes a victim of domestic violence. And then there is the little green-skinned girl named Elphaba, who will grow up to become the infamous Wicked Witch of the West, a smart, prickly, and misunderstood creature who challenges all our preconceived notions about the nature of good and evil.

This not only makes no sense but is almost exactly the opposite of the truth. Penn if anything is the MFY of the league, with the highest winning percentage in league history. They have 22 Ivy league titles (Princeton has more, but that's because of longevity) and 7 undefeated seasons. Yale, meanwhile, is one of many sub-.500 teams in the Ivy league, with only 4 league titles.
Rooting for Yale to beat Penn is like rooting for the MFY to beat Tampa.
Rooting for Yale over Penn is much closer to rooting for the Orioles over the Yankees than it is to your scenario.

|Vespa Motorcyclist Hurt in Ashe Crash
|Written by Steve Frank
|Monday, 17 September 2012 05:06
A man, listing a Charlotte address, but said to live in Ashe, was injured last night in the crash of his small Vespa cycle in Laurel Springs. The state patrol said the cycle ran off NC 88 near the Cranberry Creek bridge, careened 10 to 15 feet off the bank and crashed into a yard.
56-year old William Small was said to be suffering possible rib fractures and other injuries in the 9pm crash, and was taken by ambulance to Ashe Memorial for treatment while Alleghany firemen helped divert traffic at Upper Cranberry Springs Church Road and Ashe firemen on the Ashe side. The trooper said that Small had no operator's license and other counts might come from his investigation.

Built for Skiers. The Atomic Skiwear Lookbook 14/15.
Final cut. 2000 pairs of cross-country skis, 2000 bindings, 500 pairs of boots – besides the regular summer production, the production for the nordic unit has been speeded up at the ATOMIC factory. The coat of the featherlight construction receives one of 15 surface patterns by a special machine using rough diamonds. The diamond finishing for a saison with biathlon world championships, tour de ski and the legendary wasa race as highlights for the nordic ATOMIC crew!
"Athletes using the overall ATOMIC package skis-binding-boots have an edge over others", Roman Toferer, ATOMIC Racing Manager Nordic claims. "You can make best use of the advantages of the Featherlight construction of our World Cup Classic, World Cup Skate Soft Track and Hard Track skis in combination with ATOMIC bindings and ATOMIC boots." Roman Toferer, Racing Manager and ATOMIC Nordic Brain at the same time, is convinced, "Our athletes know that 70 percent of the performance in the cross-country ski run are determined by the construction of the skis, 20 % by the coat and its structure and 10 % by waxing and final preparation." Since some time ago, the Featherlights have received the final cut by a computer-operated high tech machine, the Wintersteiger Race NC, a product Made in Austria. This machine adds surface patterns to the coat by the use of rough diamonds. "Each and every single of our approximately 15 surface patterns works well at certain ski run conditions. Basically micro millimeters decide on a victory or a defeat", Toferer explains.
It is no surprise that due to the dedication of the ATOMIC service and development crew the small but nice ATOMIC Nordic Unit keeps on growing. Former biathlon World Champion Dominik Landertinger from now on profits from the ATOMIC know-how and the total package of WC Featherlight Skate Soft Track, WC Skate Hard Track, WC Skate boots and the Pilot Race Skate binding. World Cup cross-country skiers such as the Norwegian Junior World Championships gold medalist and silver medalist Sondre Fossli and Kari Oeyre Slind have joined the ATOMIC Nordic Crew.

|Ministry Solicitors Charged on Warrants
|Written by Steve Frank
|Wednesday, 04 September 2013 12:02
A man being questioned by Boone Police in front of Boone Mall yesterday afternoon fled from the officers causing a foot chase that ended with his capture behind the Night Secrets store on Blowing Rock Road. Police say that 33-year old John Daniel Neely was wanted
on outstanding warrants from Guilford County—Neely listing a Greensboro address. Even after being wrestled to the ground, Neely gave more than one false names to officers, but eventually was charged with Resisting a Public Officer, Fictitious Information to an Officer, and on the outstanding Failure to Appear Warrant. Neely was given an $1100 secured bond. Police say that three men were soliciting in front of the mall, claimed they were collecting for Miracle House of Hope Ministries out of Charlotte, a program that came under scrutiny in news reports last week for imposing a quota on solicitors in order to stay in their facility. The call to police was due to aggressive solicitation, asking to have them removed when Neely fled. The two others, 55-year old David William McNebb and Christopher Dane Herwerth, 22, both had Failure to Appear warrants out of Mecklenburg County, and they were taken into custody without incident. It appears that news coverage may be forcing 'collectors' further from Charlotte.

Professor Emeritus John Madl, and his wife, Jan, donated a $500 award for a full-time manufacturing engineering technology
student who has earned at least 26 credits. The impetus behind the award was to help a struggling student.
"I struggled as a student and want to help someone in a similar
situation. Perhaps part of the struggle is trying to do well as a result of having to work outside of school to be able to afford living and educational expenses," said John regarding the type of student he would like to see as a recipient. He's thinking of the person who works hard, studies hard, and contributes to LSSU but doesn't necessarily get top grades. That said, the requisite minimum GPA is 2.0.
Candidates should indicate a need for the award in their submission letter. Although the award is not automatically-renewable,
recipients are eligible to reapply for it each year. Selection is made the faculty of the School of Engineering and Technology.

In a short meeting on June 17, the Carbon County commission met to confront an assortment of business ranging from East Carbon's Community Daze, to issues surrounding the county drug court's polygraph tests.
East Carbon's Community Daze has been seeking $8,000 from the commission to help fund it's operations and while Carbon County Tax Advisory Board (CCTAB) recommended the money be approved, the commission wanted a specific plan for the money, and decided to award East Carbon with only the $2,000 that has traditionally been given to the event. Commissioner Mike Milovich was aware that the commission has been "taking some heat over this," but added, "we've given $140,000 to East Carbon City and have been accused of not recognizing them."
Mayor Orlando LaFontaine of East Carbon City, was not surprised by the commission's decision and during the last East Carbon city council meeting he made his opinions clear. "Am I going to apply again? Not me," he concluded, "I don't really understand what we have to do here."
County drug courts require certain people to take polygraph tests depending on their situation, and while most of the time it is up to the individuals themselves pick up the test bill, some cannot afford it.
This results in a payment system that can take up to three months for individuals to pay, and up untill now the court has been picking up the slack. But because the court has not budgeted for polygraph tests, it has recently found itself with a difficult $900 bill.
Another problem arises with the individual who preformed the polygraph tests, because while this individual did them on private equipment during the weekends, they themselves are a county employee doing private work indirectly for the county.
"My problem is that we paid for all their training," said commissioner John Jones during the meeting.
County attorney Gene Strate, who presented the situation to the commission, was glad that by the end the commission opted to pay the bill, but was also told that it would not happen in the future. "We will make an exception this time," said Milovich, "but next time it's a freebie, this is a government entity. Carbon County puts $250,000 into that drug court every year."

yeah.. Just a little tweak... Don't want to over do it... :)
Too bad the subtitles were in Dutch.
Out of alignment is a little bit of an understatement. Kinda reminds me of the Jet Blue nose gear out at LAX awhile back.
I did notice the video was dated January of 2012. Slow news day?

they need to take better care of their planes.
Is their maintenance crap Phil?
I see the eject MORONS are out and about. How does asking Phil a question warrant an eject??? Get a F _ _ _ ING life!!!
Thrustt I have no idea who the gents are, but they seem to hit many threads and hit the Eject for the heck of it. I gave you a Bounce up to make it a 0, but really these guys need to get a life.
I bounced you back up to 1 ole buddy; best I can do.lol Actually I got you up to a 2. I did it once and my Inet was messed up so I got out and came back in and it let me do it again.lol
thumbs up for Thrustt, Ricky, and P1
Here's to you too, my friend.lol
Phil would gripe if he was hung with a new rope.lol
Stuff breaks whether it is new or old....you can try to avoid it but if it is going to fail it is going fail regardless of how well you try to maintain it.
Last I heard, they run a pretty tight ship over there.
[This poster has been suspended.]
the first thing they all skimp on is maintenance, its the easiest to hide. If you take care of your planes properly, this stuff wouldnt happen. But safety is expensive.
You may be correct in speaking of some airlines but I think that you are way off base on KLM. As chalet says here, they are reknowned for their maintenance. Stuff does break, no matter how well maintained. I note all PAX deplaned on the stairways and no injuries. Class operation.IMHO
I work Maintenance control... All of of phone calls are recorded even to the mechanics that we instruct. The ACARS Communication is documented, and if the crew is in the cockpit it is all saved on the CVR and sometimes the FDR... Where are you hiding the maintenance. Everything that happens on the plane has a paper trail. Most people think planes fly on Jet Fuel. Those who really know the industry knows this is not true... they actually fly on PAPER!
You don't what the hell you are talking about, KLM is recognized all over the world as running one of the best of maintenance. Machines are not perfect creatures and sometimes problems arise.

|Seven Devils Town Council- Golf Course on the Agenda
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Monday, 09 July 2007 06:01
The Town of Seven Devils plans to hold its regular town council meeting this evening at 5:30, and the golf course will be on the agenda.The Town of Seven Devils is debating whether or not to obtain the former golf course from its owners, the Cottom family, by eminent domain. Several residents have expressed their desire to have a golf course. They claim property values went down when the course closed. Cottom claims the property is an investment for his children- and does not want to sell. In fact, he would prefer to expand Hawksnest Ski Resort, a request the Town has denied him in the past. Concerned citizens are encouraged to attend tonight's meeting.

Technology is such an integral part of our daily lives that it is often easy to be unaware of what is silently going on and lurking in the background of our computers – especially what have now become pocket-computers - smartphones. The intent behind writing malware code has significantly shifted from the early days of this intrusive and highly damaging virus creation. Where it once was mischievous, attention-grabbing and reeked of personal ego and glorification, we are now in an era where viruses are stealthy coded to gather information which is then sold for profit. The 21st century has seen an exponential growth in malware to fuel a multi-billion dollar black market industry that is more profitable than illegal gambling and pornography combined. In fact many wireless carriers are tracking user's behavior and personal SMS through a spyware product developed by a company called Carrier IQ. Protect your privacy from carriers with unlocked cell phones... which are carrier agnostic and allow you freedom from being 'locked in' a long term service contract.
Antivirus / software security companies are in a constant cat and mouse game with malicious code writers and crime rings to protect the assets and information of consumers. PC users and companies alike recognize the need for security software on endpoints. Leaving your valuable mobile devices unprotected is risky! The latest innovative protection solutions allow you to protect your devices from scratches and blemishes with stylish top brand bags, sleeves and cases. Tough on the outside, sweet on the inside our brand name protection cases and skin accessories combine complete device coverage with sleek artistic expression.
What many consumers and companies are in denial about is the fact that smartphones are another endpoint open to infection and infiltration (and let's be honest, righteous Mac / Apple users epitomize the attitude of this mindset). Alas, greed knows no boundaries, even if you have a sleek and lovely device in a cool case. To the chagrin of both iOS and Android users, botnets and rootkits that steal data don't necessarily slow smartphones down which makes them silent and hard to detect, allowing malware to exploit consumer information for a profit. Enhance your mobility... turn your device into a power tool. Discover select premium memory and electronic accessories specifically designed to make your devices functionally efficient and performance rich.
So, as the Carrier IQ scandal has brought widespread attention about carrier-sourced spyware, the ever growing targeted threat to Android users has walked off of center stage. According to Lookout Mobile Security, more than $1 million was pilfered from Android smartphones in 2011 and the amount of malware written for this OS dramatically jumped from 1% to 4% this year. The security firm highlights the practice of "mobile pickpocketing" which is malicious code written to steal money by exploiting carrier billing features. Consumers do have the option of unlocked devices and allow themselves the ability to shop around for carriers that address these security gaps. Get powered up for work, life and play easily and conveniently with their collection of desktop chargers, wall chargers and car chargers. Get all the power and energy you need for the mobile lifestyle.
The data was collected from 15 million handsets globally and from over one million apps in efforts to compile a 2012 Mobile Threat Predictions report.

Following these findings, the co-founder and CTO of Lookout Mobile Security stated, "2011 was a watershed year in terms of the types threats we saw emerging […] "Threats had greater sophistication and were deployed using more innovative and efficient distribution methods. In 2012, we expect to see the mobile malware business turn profitable. What took 15 years on the PC platform has only taken the mobile ecosystem two years."

The technique of catching a stanky fart in ones hand and then releasing it under someones nose.
When he started talking shit about my gas I had to buttcup that bitch Russ.
di Tony the fish 13 aprile 2003
Photos & Videos
The act of farting into one's "cupped" hand, then ushering the captured fart into an unsuspecting victims face, thus causing him to inhale your butt fumes. Optimal conditions occur when victims mouth is open.
John was doing his math homework when suddenly he was inhaling fart from the butter cup Tom had just unleashed on him.

A beautiful girl whose body is perfect in every way except she has a flat chest. Everything on her body is immaculate "but her cup" size.
"Dude, Krista is smokin' hot. If she wasn't so flat, she would be absolutely perfect."
"Yeah, she's a total buttercup."
"Yeah, she's a total buttercup."
di rainbownights 15 aprile 2010
Verb: A buttercup is a unique way in having someone else take a whiff, or in some cases, even a taste of a fart. All that needs to be done is when you feel it comming on, you cup your hand over the exit, catch the fart, and cup it over someone's nose and mouth. In some cases, "the thrower" can smell their own to make sure that it is a "good" one.

Your intense skill can sometimes be a bit rough on your gear. When the music takes hold, it's hard to resist letting a good groove carry you away. With continuous practice your skill levels go up but some of your components may experience a bit of extra wear and tear. Here's where drum replacement accessories come to the rescue. When one little part bites the dust there is no need to replace the whole tom or cymbal stand. When you wail on your snare as much as you do in the run of a day your hoops and strand strainers can take a bit of a hit. Freshening up your snare to be as crisp and clear as the day you bought it is easily done by getting replacement options. The beauty of modern kits and their customizable features is that it's easy for the seasoned drummer to simply replace a part. It's good to keep a stash of items you may need at a moment's notice, like a tension washer that may fly off in the middle of a gig or a wing screw that came loose during a fill of fury. Being prepared means you never skip a beat during an especially smokin' hot performance. The smallest bits of hardware can make a dramatic impact should they happen to disappear. Imagine a kick pedal with no spring or a tom with no tension lugs. Your sound is forever compromised without all the crucial inner workings that make your tone so fresh and original. It's also likely you'll want to customize your kit beyond what the manufacturer has provided. Your floor toms may need an extra height adjustment so acquiring additional legs by Gibraltar will fit the bill. Extra resonance on your bass drum is always sought after and easily can be accommodated with Sound Percussions extended side bass drum hoop. The possibilities are endless, allowing you to make a creative call in regards to your sound. Drumming by nature is hard on the various components you've grown to love. Sacrificing sound due to wear and tear is a thing of the past. With a small investment you can easily get your kit back to the near original condition that you've grown to cherish.

Microsoft Search Engine Challenges Google
Microsoft believes its new MSN Search engine can loosen Google's stranglehold by slimming down the number of Web sites provided for each query and by fashioning the search process to meet each user's needs more closely.
To Google has passed into modern usage as a verb that means to look something up on the internet. Bill Gates, the Microsoft founder, was hoping yesterday that we will soon be talking about MSN Searching instead.
While its name might not trip off the tongue, Mr. Gates launched his new search engine with a huge fanfare, replacing the existing Yahoo! service which comes as standard with Microsoft's msn.co.uk and unveiling a redesigned home page.
But it has a lot of catching up to do. In Britain, Google commands 60 percent of all online inquiries, while just over 10 percent goes through the Microsoft search engine.
Microsoft has been remarkably successful at clawing back its position after falling behind rivals in other aspects of emerging technology, such as web browsers. It is crucial that it also does so with its search engine -- which the company believes will allow it to "control its own destiny" -- but it faces strong competition not just from Google, but Yahoo! and Ask Jeeves .
MSN Search was launched simultaneously in 24 countries and 10 languages. Its weapon is the ability to access Microsoft's Encarta encyclopedia, with its 1.4 million entries. This allows users to ask direct questions such as, what is the world's largest lake?
The new Microsoft search engine has been under trial in recent months. The company believes it can loosen the Google stranglehold by slimming down the number of websites it offers for each inquiry and by fashioning it more closely to meet each user's needs.
Matt Whittingham, head of information services at MSN, said: "I think consumers, maybe two years ago, were wowed by the fact that you could enter a relatively obscure search term and you would get hundreds of thousands of results.
In fact, there is perhaps too much information out there and what consumers want is results that are tailored to them. They want search engines to be a bit smarter, to know where they are geographically."
Microsoft believes its search engine will also be more up to date, refreshing its list of about five billion websites every two days compared with every two weeks in other cases.
Google, whose creators Sergei Brin and Larry Page became billionaires when the company they founded was floated on the stock market last year, makes its money through sponsored links -- ads which appear on screen when an inquiry is made.
The company, based in Mountain View, said yesterday that it earned $204.1m in the final three months of 2004, compared with net income of $27.3m for the same period in 2003.
Revenue during the last three months of 2004 was $1.03bn, more than double the $512.2m for the same period during the previous year. Despite its revenue jump, Google's total was only about a tenth of Microsoft's, which reported a figure of $10.8bn for the same period.
Mr. Gates, said to be worth pounds 26.7bn, was meeting European commissioners in Brussels yesterday to try to resolve an anti-trust ruling against him which resulted in a EUR500m (pounds 350m) fine last year.
The EU competition commissioner, Mario Monti, ruled that Microsoft was abusing the monopoly position it enjoyed with its Windows operating system, found in 90 per cent of personal computers worldwide.
It was ordered to strip down the Microsoft products it offered as standard with Windows, removing Media Player. Microsoft is in talks on how this Windows should be sold to the public.

MS Forums is benefiting from this competition.
MS Forums is also #7 TewakXP topsites. I'm sure that'll help a little too in increasing traffic..... it got so many votes so fast

Why is my signature text blue I did not make it like that??
Do a search on MSN Search for Microsoft Forums and you'll see.
If the MS search engine crawler can craw flash, back-end db, that will be cooool...keep google away from the competition!
Not sure what they can index, but they are indexing our site much faster, even the dynamic pages and MSN search is giving us more hits than google, for the first time.
I use MSN search. I've heard some bad things about Google.
and you think those bad things would not exist in MSN search?

MASSENA Expressing concern about the villages decision to stop providing code enforcement services, Town Council members are now worried about the cost of appointing an officer.
Town Supervisor Joseph D. Gray said he finds the option of the town hiring its own code enforcement officer wasteful and unfair.
It just seems crazy to me for the town to hire its own code enforcement person, to work out of the same office, but if thats the path we have to take, thats what well have to do, Mr. Gray said.
Town Council members voiced surprise and disappointment to learn the village will no longer provide code enforcement for the town.
The announcement took me by surprise. Code enforcement worked very well up to this point in time, and its very perplexing the village would make these changes, said Councilman Charles A. Raiti.
Councilman John F. Macaulay said he believes village officials made the decision without taking into account town board members concerns.
As far as Im concerned, it was a unilateral decision, Mr. Macaulay said. Its crazy right now, and I think (the changes are) not best for both communities.
Mayor James F. Hidy said he did not discuss the issue with town board members in the weeks before Jan. 20, when he emailed them about the decision to no longer provide the service outside the village.
Mr. Macaulay said he expects the town to hire a part-time officer because a full-time position would exceed what the town had paid the village for code enforcement.
If we do staff it ... I suspect we wont be able to fund that person for any more money than what were paying the village for code enforcement, he said.
The town has contracted with the village for the past several years to use the services of former Code Enforcement Officer Gregory C. Fregoe and firefighters trained in code enforcement.
Since Mr. Fregoes resignation Jan. 22, the village has been relying on its career firefighters trained in code enforcement to handle his former duties.
In the email, Mr. Hidy wrote the village would continue to provide the service outside the village for a short period of time until the Town Council could implement an alternative for code enforcement.
The code office changes are something that right now weve elected to go ahead with, Mr. Hidy said. There isnt anything set in stone. Were trying something new to save costs for the village taxpayers thats who we ultimately answer to.
The village Board of Trustees unanimously passed the motion to stop code enforcement outside the village. Mr. Hidy called it a savings for village taxpayers.
Were going to utilize the Fire Department. Were going to see some savings out of that, he said.
Mr. Macaulay said he believes the decision was prompted by the town reducing its funding for the code office from 50 to 40 percent.
In its 2012 budget, the town allocated $52,092 for code enforcement, plus an additional $5,000 for fire inspections through the Fire Department. In 2013, the town allocated $35,512 for code enforcement and $5,000 for fire inspections.
Mr. Gray said the town should fund a smaller percentage of the code enforcement offices budget because the office does far more work in the village than out of it.
In 2012, the code enforcement office issued 60 permits outside the village and 422 permits in the village.
I think the town is paying more than their fair share at 40 percent, but (to split the funding) 50/50 just isnt right, and I dont think the village is ready to admit that yet, Mr. Gray said.

Former superintendent Patsy Bueno is now acting superintendent.
The Carbon School District Board of Education had an emergency meeting on Tuesday morning and decided to rescind one of the decisions they made in response to the arrest of Superintendent George Park on Aug. 6.
At a special meeting on the day of the arrest they had met and decided to not only place Park on paid administrative leave, but to appoint a committee of three administrators to run the district's operations until the situation with Park could be clarified.
"Our board president got calls from the State School Board Administration as well as Utah State School Superintendent Larry Shumway," said board member Jeff Richens on Tuesday afternoon. "They had a conversation with Barry (Deeter) and urged him to ask the board to name an acting superintendent."
Consequently, as of Tuesday morning that committee was discontinued and the board voted to name former superintendent Patsy Bueno as acting superintendent. She took over the reins of the district and will stay in place as a half-time employee until the district can resolve its problems with the Park situation.
Bueno left the district just last May, having served as the leader of the district for the prior three years. She had worked for the district for a total of 37 years when she left and had served in many capacities during that time, logging many hours in both the classified and certified ranks, along with the administrative jobs she had.
"We needed to be careful not to mess her retirement up," said Richens referring to the fact that retirement systems often have rules against retirees working very much. "But by putting her on half-time she can do the job and still protect it. It will also save the district money."
Park faces charges of second-degree felony misuse of public funds in Garfield County where he was superintendent for three years. His initial appearance on the charges will on on Sept. 2 in the Sixth District Court in Panguitch.

The Return
He's coming back to the game. And as much as his peers will hate it, they will also welcome him back with open arms. All while making snide comments behind his back. No, it isn't Brett Favre and it sure as hell ain't Jordan. It's Eldrick. And before you get your panties in a bunch asking who Eldrick is, I'll tell you.
Eldrick Tont Woods…affectionately (and intimately) known as Tiger. Now, there is absolutely nothing about Tiger Woods that I could expound upon that the media hasn't already filleted and gutted a million times already, except for one thing. Why he got caught. (no, not why he did it, why he got caught).
Tiger Woods is an island unto himself. That kinda makes it hard to do dirt when you're visible from the weather channel's satellites. Secondly, he went against the grain of every celeb/athlete's mantra. He had no Entourage.
Entourage (read: boys who you pay and trust to do YOUR dirt and take the fall). These people are made up of people you know before the fame and fortune and when the shit hits the fan, will gladly scoop it up.
Celebs with entourages usually have a bad image of boozing party hounds, so Tiger refrained from having one, not realizing their true purpose. Damn, hindsight's a bitch ain't it?
But let me make myself really really clear. In no way do I condone Mr. Woods infidelities. He was stupid and got caught with his hands, feet and who knows what else in the cookie jar. Apparently, he thought he was a college frat boy. I remember my college days, (barely). I felt unstoppable. I vaguely remember my mother mentioning something about me burning out before I turned 25 (guess what mom, it was sooner…).
I didn't have an entourage but I had friends I trusted impeccably. Question is, who does Tiger trust? It's kinda funny though, because real tigers hunt solo, at night and ambush their prey. The two legged tigers we know use Patron Margaritas….or cereal.
If only he had one good friend to say "I don't think its a good idea, let's go" We wouldn't be reading about all this nonsense now. But you know what, it's not all his fault.
Let's back up a sec. So the wifey had no idea? She was clueless? Yeah right, whatever. If the handwriting is on the wall, you just don't apply a fresh coat of paint. Let's not forget this has been going on for years, and she just now decided to bash his head in? A one eyed man with a cataract could see she didn't care what Tiger did UNTIL it was about to become public knowledge.
So why are people so hellbent on what Tiger is or isn't doing? Americans (some of us) are boring, mundane hum drum people who live their lives vicariously through someone else. Everyone wants to shake up their lives and do something wild and off the cuff but is afraid to. That's why Vegas is so popular. What? you thought it was because of the casinos? Kill yourself now and help the census.
People like to commune socially. That's why everyone is in everyone else's business and personal affairs. And when celebrities and/or an athlete's business come to light…oh boy, the fireworks fly. Tiger's affairs were, socially speaking "a multiple orgasm" for the media and it's endearing public.
The man liked to get his multicultural penis wet. He's also given billions in charity benefiting children. Does this make it right? Hell no it doesn't. Not at all. But tell me…what has your trifling baby's daddy contributed other than his seed?
Stop casting stones. Welcome back Tiger.

Approximately 2,000 supermarket and nursing home workers, including members in the Florida Panhandle region from UFCW (United Food and Commercial Workers Union) Local 1657, have become members of the RWDSU Mid-South Council.
A news release issued Tuesday by UFCW Local 1657, announced the merger "into the RWDSU," saying the merger was completed earlier this month.
UFCW Local 1657 members work at Bell Foods, Colonial Haven Healthcare and Rehab Center, Golden Living, Sea Breeze Healthcare Center, M&M Marketplace, United Roofing Manufacturing and other employees throughout the mid south.
"This opens the door for many new opportunities, including the potential to organize retail workers in the South and continue to grow, as we are currently one of the largest unions in the mid-south area," said John Whitaker, President of RWDSU Mid-South Council.
According to the statement, the Mid-South Council "has already begun to work with the newly merged members by meeting with members, welcoming the workers to the RWDSU family, and settling disputes in the workplace on behalf of workers."
Last year, more than 1,200 workers at the Pilgrim's Pride poultry plant in Russellville, Ala., voted overwhelmingly to join the RWDSU Mid-South Council.

Mary Shelley
Personal Background
Mary Wollestonecraft (Godwin) Shelley was born on August 30, 1797 in London, England to philosopher William Godwin and feminist Mary Wollestonecraft; both her parents were noted writers in the 1800s. Her father's most famous book was Political Justice (1793), which is a critical look at society and the ethical treatment of the masses. Godwin's other popular book Caleb Williams (1794) examines class distinctions and the misuse of power by the ruling aristocracy. Mary Wollestonecraft, her mother, was a leading feminist writer who espoused her views in her famous work A Vindication of the Rights of Women (1792). They married in 1797 to protect the rights of the forthcoming child. When their daughter Mary was born, William and Mary had only been married for five months. Four weeks after giving birth, Mary Wollestonecraft died of complications. Thus, Mary Shelley never knew her mother. Her father remarried a woman by the name of Mrs. Clairmont when the young Mary was four years old.
Mary's learned father, who had frequent guests in their home all through her formative years, guaranteed her education. A voracious reader, Mary borrowed books from her father's extensive library. She enjoyed writing at a young age, and her passion was to write stories intended for a very limited audience. The influence of her famous father's home cannot be understated with a constant stream of writers, including Samuel Taylor Coleridge. It was at home that Mary developed into a person of letters, following in the family tradition of writers and thinkers.
Between June 1812 and March 1814, Mary lived with relatives in Scotland. It was upon her return visits to London when she met Percy Bysshe Shelley, who idolized her father, and their relationship began. Mary and Percy left England for France in June 1814 to begin a life together. Shelley was still married to his first wife, Harriet Westbrook. Within four years of being married, Percy met Mary, and a new marriage was proposed as soon as the first marriage was dissolved. In late 1814, Mary and Percy returned to England and lived in hiding to avoid his first wife and previous back debts. It was at this time that Percy petitioned Mary's father William for relief of his debt.
In February 1815, Mary gave birth to a daughter, who was born prematurely and who subsequently died in March of the same year. The couple settled in Bishopgate, England and a second child, William, was born.
In the summer of 1816, a tour of continental Europe was proposed. At a stop in Switzerland, the couple and Mary's stepsister, Claire, rented a house near another British writer, Lord Byron. The summer proved wet and unseasonable; Byron suggested the group take to writing ghost stories to pass the time. It was during this summer that the form for Frankenstein was to take shape. The story was first only a few pages, but with the encouragement of Percy, the tale took on a greater length. Mary's story, the best of the group, was so frightening to Byron that he ran "shrieking in horror" from the room. Frankenstein was published in 1818.
In November 1816, Fanny, Mary's half-sister, committed suicide. A few weeks later, in December 1816, Shelley's first wife Harriet also killed herself. Within two weeks, Percy and Mary were married in St. Mildred's Church in London on December 30, 1816. Early the next year, the couple moved to Marlow, England and a third child, Clara Everina, was born. In 1818, the Shelley's left England for Italy to escape mounting debt and to improve Percy's health. It was during this time that both small children died; Clara died in September 1818, and William died the following June, in 1819. Mary was miserable and disconsolate at 21 and 22 years of age. She did recover somewhat later in November 1819 when her son Percy was born in Florence, Italy. He would become the only Shelley child to survive to adulthood. Mary did not remain idle as a writer during this time, as she began a new novel, Valperga.

NORFOLK Norwood-Norfolk Central Schools Board of Education unanimously approved the districts $20.6 million spending plan for 2014-15.
The budget represents a 1.75 percent increase over last years $20.3 million budget and carries a 0.49 percent tax levy increase, which would raise $29,908. A 1 percent increase in the tax levy equals $61,175.
The current tax rate is $30.39 per $1,000 of assessed value for property owners in the town of Norfolk and $24.92 per $1,000 for town of Potsdam residents.
District officials whittled away at the spending plan, which initially had a $632,000 gap and included the elimination of eight full-time equivalent teachers, including a half-time science teacher, half-time English language arts teacher, half-time social studies teacher, half-time math teacher and three teaching assistants. That move would have saved $498,000.
But the potential reductions in teaching assistants brought standing-room-only crowds of community members, parents, teachers and graduates to recent Board of Education meetings to share their concerns about the impact the move would have on students. Many said the teaching assistants provide not only academic support, but also personal support for students, and some graduates said they would not have received their diplomas without that assistance.
District officials had been basing projected cuts on the state aid proposed by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo. But, when the final state budget passed, the districts aid increased, allowing it to limit personnel cuts to a half-time business teacher and a half-time cleaner.
District officials also had looked at extracurricular activities for cuts, and Superintendent James M. Cruikshank had recommended modifications to eliminate some stipends. The Travel Club was on the final list of cuts, as was a high school science club. The high school Student Council will continue, but with one adviser stipend instead of two.
Mr. Cruikshank had also recommended that one of the two assistant coach stipends for boys and girls spring track teams be eliminated, and the remaining assistant coach work with both teams.
The budget calls for the addition of fourth- and fifth-grade teachers. Some elementary teachers had shared their concerns with board members that leaving fourth grade with its current three sections would mean two sections of 32 students each and one section of 33 students next year. By adding the fourth section, those numbers will be reduced to two sections of 24 students each and two sections of 25 students each.
A budget hearing is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. May 13 in the districts boardroom, and residents will cast their votes on May 20. Voters also will fill three school board seats currently held by David C. Flint, Karl J. Fetter and Jonathan L. Hunkins.

Lee County Sheriff chopper flying to meetings?
FORT MYERS - From flying to meetings to "public relations," the Lee County Sheriff's helicopter is being used for more than just catching criminals.
It's the eye in the sky catching crooks on the ground. Dangerous men like accused murderer Timothy Tuttle. Tuttle was captured with the help of hi-tech infrared cameras that make it very hard to hide.
"So this thing is a criminal on the ground's worst nightmare?," asked Fox 4 reporter Matt Grant.
"Yes sir," said Lee County Sheriff's office pilot Mike Warner pointing to their FLIR camera. "They don't like this"
Warner is the pilot who helped take down Tuttle. He's been with the sheriff's office almost 5 years but has been flying most of his life.
"A great deal of satisfaction comes from knowing that you're helping to protect the citizens of Lee County," said Warner.
But how much are you paying for that protection? Fox 4 looked through flight logs for FY 2011 (10/1/10-9/30/11). We discovered the county's two choppers flew 894 hours totaling $576,122 in operation costs - things like fuel and maintenance.
Add on $621,246 for pilot and mechanic salaries and you paid $1,197,368.
"Is that a lot of money? Yes," said Warner. "Is the bang worth the buck? I think so."
The sheriff's office flies an AStar 350, which Warner says is used by 60-65 percent of all law enforcement agencies in the U.S.
According to Warner, the average cost of operating the chopper for the last four years was $954,000. This year was slightly higher due to several expensive parts needing to be replaced.
"Instead of risk flying with them," said Warner, "we went ahead and replaced those components."
Documents show the chopper was responsible for 170 arrests, 38 missing people found and 13 stolen cars recovered during FY11.
But we discovered it was also used to fly from Buckingham Air Field in Lehigh Acres to the sheriff's headquarters in Fort Myers for staff meetings.
"Is that really efficient to fly to a meeting instead of driving to one?," asked Grant.
"No," said Warner. "But the cost would be about 2 tenths of an hour total to be able to get down there and do that."
The sheriff's office spent $11,076, clocking 17 hours on similar "administrative flights."
"Again we're just as effective as launching from" the sheriff's office, said Warner, compared to the air field.
Documents show you're also paying to promote the sheriff's office. During FY11 the sheriff's office spent 11 hours showing off the chopper at schools, air shows and fly-overs costing $7,212.
Between public relations and administrative flights, we found $18,288 was spent on things that don't directly appear to have anything to do with catching crooks.
"At a time when everyone's tightening their belts can you justify that?," asked Grant.
"Well I think it's important for the public to understand not only our mission but the fact that our desire is to keep them safe," said Warner.
"But we're talking about non-law enforcement related flights," said Grant.
"Right," said Warner. "So as I pointed out to you, in my opinion, I would think that it's important to go out and talk to school children."
But it's not just children. According to flight logs, politicians and officials have gone up to survey land, learn about the chopper and get an aerial tour.
Warner says they strive to save money wherever they can. He points out they buy fuel at a discount from Mosquito Control, which saves money buying in bulk.
"It's our responsibility to operate as safely and as efficiently as we can," said Warner. "And so we strive to do so."
Collier County
It is hard to compare Collier, Charlotte and Lee since they have different helicopters, population sizes and number of flights.
Unlike Lee County, Collier uses military surplus helicopters. In FY11 (11/01/10-11/01/11) they flew 522 flights (668 hours), compared to 1097 for Lee County (894 hours).
Collier spent $54,093 for fuel and $182,708 for fuel and maintenance combined compared to $576,122 for Lee County.
They also spent 4 hours on administrative flights and 3 hours on "static displays" (at schools, etc) costing taxpayers $2,462 compared to $18,288 for Lee County (for administrative and public relation flights).
Collier spent $331,875 combined on four pilot salaries.
The chopper costs $276 an hour to fly.
Charlotte County
During FY11 (12/1/10-12/1/11) Charlotte County spent $59,121 on fuel and $133,616 on maintenance for a total of $192,737, compared to $182,708 for Collier and $576,122 for Lee.
Charlotte County has one full time pilot making $93,748 a year and one part time pilot making $27 an hour.
During FY11 the chopper flew on 462 missions. Their OH58 costs $183/hour to fly and their UH1 costs $202 an hour.

There's always only one first. And the Beloit College Men's Lacrosse team is about to experience a big first.
The Buccaneers begin a new era in Buccaneer Athletics on Sunday afternoon in St. Louis when they play the first game in program history against Fontbonne College at 1:00 p.m.
The Bucs have been practicing since mid-January for this day and also played a pair of scrimmages. Now head coach Bob Dignazio and his squad are ready for the real thing, facing a Griffins team that lost its season-opener last Saturday at Sewanee in Tennessee 14-5.
After the opener the Buccaneers have less than a week before heading off on their Spring Trip, which takes them to Lexington, Kentucky, and Atlanta, Georgia. They'll play Transylvania University in Lexington on Sunday, March 3, and then take on Oglethorp University and Piedmont College in and around Atlanta on Wednesday, March 6, and Saturday, March 9, respectively, before returning North.
Beloit plays at another first-year program, Benedictine University, in Lisle, Illinois, on Wednesday, March 13, before playing DePauw University in the home opener on Saturday, March 16, at 1:00 p.m. at Strong Stadium.

Whether you need help getting off the couch to begin an exercise routine or you've been working out for years and want to ramp it up, we have articles, videos, tools, resources and much more that may help move you closer to achieving your exercise goals.
Regular exercise can help you live longer and may reduce your risks for a host of diseases.
Recent studies show:
How do you know whether or not you're fit? That depends on lots of things, such as your age, overall health, family history, exercise routines and eating habits. Granted, you can't change all of these influences, but if you work on the ones you can do something about, your overall health is bound to improve. Here are some benefits of physical activity:
Fitness requires time and effort. That may be why it's so hard for many people to get started. It may also be the reason that some people start out strong, then fizzle out. Getting fit doesn't mean spending hours at the gym or running laps until you drop. Even if you can only fit in 10 minutes here and 15 minutes there, every little bit counts. To be successful, your fitness program must become a part of your daily life, just like working, cooking, bathing and eating. Let's get started!
