Alan! Astor!
Click above to watch QuickTime (6 MB)
Alan! Astor! is quite possibly the future of music as we know it– just don't call him a laptop gigger. Skirting the rails set to the best backbeat we've heard in ages, A!A! hops from MC, to composer, to DJ (plus producer) and back again. He's steered the most blase crowds to fever pitch, establishing him as a true showman amongst live electronic acts. And there's more to it than the raw enthusiasm combined with electric sax and mp3 ghetto blaster: it takes a real man to sing along to Lionel Richie.

MUST SEE! Most Amazing Reaction Ever To An Obama Speech (VIDEO)
This will absolutely put a smile on your face. Funny thing about Europeans, they sure do know a dictator when they see one.
We can only hope and pray that Americans will soon begin to wise up and give Mr. Obama this exact same reaction next time he opens his mouth on American soil to spout more lies and deceit.

Trail of Betrayal: Systemic failures left scouts at risk for abuse, records suggest
Boy Scouts president admits "terrible failures"
The Boy Scouts of America prides itself on creating a safe environment for its youth. But an investigation into more than two decades of the organization's internal records reveals that it failed to stop Scout-leader pedophiles from becoming repeat offenders or from re-entering Scouting through a revolving door.
A Scripps news team's examination of 1,881 "ineligible volunteer" files dating from 1970 through 1991 shows that the Boy Scouts were plagued by systemic failures that left its young members at risk for decades.
Among the findings:
-- At least 101 Scout leaders accused of sexual molestation had faced previous allegations of abusing Scouts, but had not been kicked out of the organization.
-- In at least 88 cases, Scout officials failed to conduct adequate background checks and allowed men with prior criminal convictions, often for child molestation, into Scouting.
-- At least 46 men booted from Scouting because of sexual misconduct were later able to return, often by changing troops or moving to another state -- a revolving door for predators.
"It sounds like a breakdown at the high-up level," said Victor Vieth, executive director of the Minnesota-based National Child Protection Training Center. Vieth, a former prosecutor whose center trains child abuse investigators, said organizations such as the Scouts need to be especially vigilant about pedophiles: "You have to understand the danger. That was the whole point of these files."
In an interview with Scripps, Boy Scouts National President Wayne Perry acknowledged some "terrible failures" in the past when it came to safeguarding Scouts. "It's a failure of judgment. It's a failure of execution. … It's a failure on many levels," he said.
But Perry, a volunteer and retired Washington state businessman, noted that the confidential files kept out many predators and "protected a lot of kids." He said that the Boy Scouts continue to keep such files as part of a "multilayered approach" to child protection, which includes mandatory reporting of suspected child abuse to authorities.
"No organization has done more to try to help understand the child-abuse situation than the Boy Scouts of America," Perry said.
Many child-protection experts including Vieth say that during the last few decades, the Scout organization has been out front in establishing strict policies to protect children against predators, including barring adults from one-on-one activities with youths and requiring criminal background checks.
But many of those rules didn't exist in the 1970s and 1980s. And even those policies that were in place -- such as the decades-old requirement to put the names of "ineligible volunteers" into the confidential files and cross-reference them with any adult who tried to register -- weren't always followed.
Take the case of Indianapolis Scout leader Thomas Hacker. In 1961, the schoolteacher, then in his mid-20s, was arrested on an assault and battery charge involving Scouts at a campout. A judge dismissed the case. A local Scout executive later wrote that Hacker was removed as a scoutmaster, but that a prominent board member had called to say "that Tom was a fine young man, and asked that he not be placed on our 'red flag' list." Lacking "concrete evidence ... we did not do this, for which I have had many hours of regret."
Hacker joined two other troops before being arrested in 1970 for molesting 51 boys, most of them pupils at his school. He pleaded guilty to one count of assault and battery and was given a suspended sentence.
Hacker was barred from Scouting, and his name put in the Scouts' confidential files. But in 1971, using a fake name, Hacker turned up as a scoutmaster in the Chicago suburbs. Later that year, he was arrested for taking indecent liberties with a child.
When the local Scout council discovered who Hacker really was, they notified the national organization, which again suspended him. "Under no circumstances do we want this man registered in Scouting," the national registration director wrote back.
But by the mid-1980s, Hacker had become a scoutmaster of a Catholic Church-sponsored troop in the Chicago area. He resigned abruptly in October 1987, citing a work promotion and "some personal family situations."
Five months later, Hacker was indicted for sexually abusing a dozen boys, most of them Scouts. A jury convicted him on two counts of aggravated criminal sexual assault and sentenced him to two consecutive 50-year prison terms. Now 76, he's incarcerated at Big Muddy River Correctional Center in Ina, Ill.
Scout records show how Hacker beat the system: He claimed to have been registered in more than one troop, at a time when Scout officials didn't check multiple registrations. When he re-registered, they didn't review the confidential file. And he changed his name or middle initial to avoid detection.
Burbank, Ill., Police Capt. Joe Ford, a detective at the time of Hacker's arrest, said he and his colleagues were shocked at how he
had managed to stay in Scouting all those years.
"How could that happen with the Boy Scouts?" Ford said. "You would think a national organization has a national list. Somebody dropped the ball somewhere. ... There was a failure of the system, without a doubt."
The failure to police their own was a common theme that ran through the Scouts' confidential files. Some were filled with letters or handwritten notes describing how leaders who molested children had slipped through the cracks.
"What happened to the checks and balances? With the new registration, this wasn't supposed to happen," a Scout official scribbled in a handwritten note attached to a 1990 newspaper story about a Pennsylvania Scout leader arrested for molesting a teenage Scout. The man had been convicted 15 years earlier in Massachusetts for sexually abusing a boy in a police Explorers troop.
Not all the files illustrate a system breakdown. Some Scout officials acted quickly once they learned a leader had been arrested for child molestation. And in more than a quarter of the cases in which a youth or parent notified Scout officials about an allegation of sexual misconduct, the Scouts contacted authorities.
But Scout files also expose serious communication failures, lack of due diligence and even intentional decisions to protect one of their own -- or give him a break -- rather than bar him from Scouting.
That's what makes Clay Evans furious even today.
Evans was a 13-year-old Scout in Boulder, Colo., when scoutmaster Floyd David Slusher allegedly tried to molest him in 1975. Evans said Slusher, who was in his early 20s, pulled him and a younger Scout into a station wagon's back seat during a campout. He told them he was a bisexual who would teach them about masturbation and that they would start with hugging and kissing and then "move on to other things."
Evans said he and the other boy declined and scrambled out of the car.
"Dave came to me later and said in a panic, 'I want to hypnotize you right now so you'll forget what happened,' " Evans recalled in an interview. "That scared me even more."
Later that summer, Evans told his father, and they reported the incident to troop committee members. But he said they suggested he might have misunderstood or exaggerated. They took no action. Nobody contacted the police.
Another Scout made a similar allegation against Slusher, also in 1975; troop officials confronted the scoutmaster, but felt there was insufficient evidence. Slusher was arrested in 1977 for molesting several Scouts. He was convicted of sexual assault on a minor and sentenced to "one day to life." Paroled in 1984, he was arrested again in 1989 and charged with three counts of sexual exploitation of children. He was convicted and sentenced to 50 years in prison.
The files reveal Slusher had been dismissed as a Scout camp staffer in Germany in 1972 for sexually abusing a youth. U.S. Scouting officials put him on probation and let him continue in Scouting.
Evans, now a 50-year-old marketing manager and writer in Niwot, Colo., said he's still angry that Scout officials ignored his complaint.
"It was a double violation of a kid's trust," Evans said. "A person in a position of authority violates a kid's trust. Then the kid turns around and goes to the people who were supposed to protect him and they do nothing. When I later found out that I was not the only one who tried to do the right thing and was dismissed, that just blew my mind."
And it wasn't just Scout victims whose lives were affected. Sometimes, whole families were devastated.
Veronica Akins, of Bishop Hills, Texas, said that's what happened when her 13-year-old son was molested by Scout leader Melvin Christopher Estes in the late 1980s. Estes tried to fondle him in the bathroom of the church where the troop met, according to the victim's deposition. Another time, Estes invited him into his bedroom to look at pornographic magazines. He started massaging the boy and tried to take off his pants.
Estes was convicted in 1989 of three counts of aggravated sexual assault and one count of indecency with a child.
One of the four victims was Akins' son, Chance Curtis. Estes was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Akins sued the Boy Scouts of America and the local council, claiming they were negligent in allowing Estes to remain a Scout leader. She alleged that they knew he'd been accused of molestation previously, but ignored it and gave him his own troop.
The Boy Scouts argued that Estes was quickly suspended after local officials learned of molestation allegations.
The Scouts maintained that while they chartered community-based organizations that sponsored troops, they didn't supervise them or choose Scout leaders.
The mother of four
appealed her case all the way to the Texas Supreme Court. It ruled in 1996 that the national organization could not be held responsible, but that the local council -- which recommended Estes for the scoutmaster's job -- could. Akins later agreed to an undisclosed settlement.
Akins said her son, now 37, has never been the same.
"He's been in and out of trouble ever since this mess went on. We took him to several child psychologists," she said. "… He'd always been such a good boy."
Chance Curtis eventually dropped out of high school and became an alcoholic, drug addict and criminal, his mother said. He's serving time in federal prison for a firearms charge.
Akins, 53, who works in the kitchen of a Christian academy and serves as a local alderman, said her son's molestation and her battle with the Scouts led her to "trust basically no one anymore" and scarred her family.
"It tore our family up," she said. "The kids could feel the stress and tension between my husband and I. You feel this anger, but you don't know who to be angry at. It's very destructive to families."
Many of the confidential files share similar threads about how Scout leaders took advantage of their prey: plying boys with liquor, showing them pornography, performing "massages," sharing tents or sleeping bags on camping trips.
Jerry Lee Parrish's first run-in with the Scouts was in 1976, when a boy came home after spending time with the North Carolina scoutmaster, and his mother noticed something oily in his hair. The boy told his father that Parrish had taken nude photos of him, put oil on him and touched him, according to the files. The father put a loaded shotgun in his car and tried to find Parrish. A former district executive wrote that the mother of another Scout disclosed she had once caught Parrish touching her son inappropriately.
Local Scout officials "filed some forms" about Parrish that fall with the national office, the district executive recollected about 15 years later. "We received a reply that we could not 'black flag' Jerry's name at the registration office for reasons that I can't recall today," he wrote.
Parrish moved elsewhere. In the early 1980s, he joined a troop in Pittsboro, N.C. In 1990, Parrish, then a 43-year-old systems analyst at North Carolina State University, was arrested for molesting two Scouts. He allegedly told his victims that he was going to hypnotize them -- then he would perform oral sex on them.
He pleaded guilty to four counts of taking indecent liberties with a child and was sentenced to 20 years, with all but six months suspended.
In 1998, Parrish was arrested again, this time in Florida, after flying there for what he hoped would be a sexual tryst with a 12-year-old boy he met on an Internet chat site. The "boy" turned out to be an undercover cop. Parrish faced federal charges because of his interstate travel and Internet use; he was convicted of sexual exploitation and enticement of a minor. He was sentenced to 18 years.
The Parrish case exposes how the rules meant to protect Scouts were sometimes ignored or violated. Local Scout leaders would notify national staffers of a problem, but the alleged molester wouldn't be barred from Scouting. In other cases, local Scout officials would fail to report a leader accused of misconduct or would take months – or even years – to alert the national office.
Anna Salter, a psychologist in Madison, Wis., who has authored several books about sex offenders, cautions that even today, strict child protection rules aren't enough.
"Even when you have the best policies, you have individuals who don't follow those policies," said Salter, a consultant to the Wisconsin Department of Corrections. Sex offenders are good at fooling people, and organizations such as the Boy Scouts or their church-related sponsors sometimes would rather keep quiet than risk a scandal, she added.
"While policies get steadily better, we still have kids being abused because the dynamics haven't changed."

Who We Are
POLLY PARSONS, Executive Director
If there are two things Polly Parsons could write encyclopedias on, they are rock and roll, and addiction. As the daughter of Gram Parsons, considered to be the father of the Americana Music movement, who fatally overdosed at twenty-six, she had no other choice but to learn a lifetime's worth of both subjects.
Growing up as the child of Gram Parsons and an artistic mother, Polly had little stability in her life. She was only a child when her father died, and though she has some treasured memories of him, she learned most of what she knows from those who played music alongside him and loved him.
Addiction is genetic. All of Polly's grandparents died of this disease as well. In her own journey to sobriety, she learned a lot about what worked and didn't work in various recovery and sober living programs.
Over 5 years ago, Polly founded Hickory Wind Ranch, which is driven by one passionate question: If her young father was still alive, and needed help, where would he go? At Hickory Wind Ranch, Polly has created the most creative space in the country, incorporating structured, bi-weekly random drug testing, counseling, community dinners once a month, creative group challenges where residents present an original piece of art, music, drama, or writing, and 24-hour personal support. Polly believes that the recovery model in 2013 must include ANY open door to recovery that brings us closer to God. "We must include everyone at the healing table, because it is working." This model is driving the success behind Hickory Wind Ranch, which has one of the highest sober living retention rates in Austin, Texas. Polly hopes to establish the same model in other cities across the country, continuing the journey of healing she has so passionately begun.
Besides having 15 years of experience of work in the music industry with recovering addicts, Polly is also the producer of a video concert design company, and a mother. It is a full and busy life, but when it comes to Hickory Wind Ranch, Polly cannot imagine a life without it.

Melodrama will entertain with 'Heaven Help the …'
Several Baldwin residents will be featured in this year's Maple Leaf Melodrama production, "Heaven Help the Po' Taters."
Co-director Susan Pouliot said a majority of the 22-member cast is from Baldwin.
Shane Goldring plays the villain and Dawn Grammer plays the villainess. Sarah Swan and Daniel Bone, both from Lawrence, play the heroine and the hero.
In this comedic production, the villain has dammed the town's water so the potatoes can't grow. It's up to the hero and the heroine to save the potatoes and defeat the villain at the same time.
"It's really quite funny," Pouliot said. "It's definitely a comedy, all right."
The cast has been working on the melodrama since the beginning of September.
"The kids have put a lot of work into it," Pouliot said. "A lot more has gone into it than last year and it's well worth coming to see."
The production, which lasts a little more than an hour, is Friday at 7 p.m., Saturday at 1, 4 and 7 p.m. and Sunday at 1 and 4 p.m. All shows will be under the big tent at Seventh and Grove streets.
Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for children 12 and under. Children three and under will be admitted free.
Pouliot said the show has been popular the past few years.
"It's so much fun to see an old fashioned melodrama," she said. "There's a lot of interaction and it's lots of fun. I think that's why people keep returning."

CHICAGO (MarketWatch) -- Comcast Corp. saw its shares jump Thursday, rallying after the cable giant reported a 54% rise in fourth-quarter earnings on increased revenue from its broadband and digital telephone services, and declared its first dividend in nearly a decade.
Shares of Comcast CMCSA, -1.07% shot up 8% to close at $19.24. The shares have lost nearly half their value since last summer on worries about slowing customer growth and increased competition.
But during a conference call with analysts, Chairman Brian Roberts said: "We do feel that with free cash flow now resuming its steady march forward, we hoped we'd be able to be in a position to do a dividend. We have bought stock, we've talked to a lot of investors about the preference on that mix. ... I think we feel it's a good balance."
Roberts added that Philadelphia-based Comcast, the largest U.S. cable-television company, expects 2008 revenue and operating cash flow to rise by 8% to 10% over 2007 levels.
Capital spending's seen declining to 18% of revenue from 20% on a consolidated basis, Roberts said, while free cash flow will rise at least 20% from the 2007 figure of $2.3 billion.
Comcast posted a quarterly profit of $602 million, or 20 cents a share, up from $390 million, or 13 cents, earned in the final three months of 2006.
Excluding adjustments related to transactions with Adelphia and Time Warner, earnings in the year-earlier period would have been $459 million, or 15 cents a share.
Quarterly revenue rose to $8.01 billion from the prior year's $7.03 billion, a gain of 14%.
Analysts polled by Thomson Financial had been expecting, on average, a profit of 17 cents a share along with revenue of $7.9 billion.
Investors cheer dividend, buyback
Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of 6.25 cents a share, payable April 30 to shareholders of record as of April 2. Comcast, which stopped paying a dividend in March 1999, has also committed to stock repurchases of $6.9 billion by the end of 2009.
"Investors were hoping -- even expecting -- a dividend," said Craig Moffett, cable analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein & Co., in a note to clients. " What they got is likely better; a smaller-than-expected dividend ... coupled with a much more aggressive share repurchase program."
Roberts also commented that the company will not try to make "large transformative acquisitions" such as Yahoo Inc. YHOO, -0.26% or Sprint Nextel Corp. S, -1.13% might present.
Breaking down the quarterly results, Comcast Cable revenue rose 9% to $7.6 billion, as video revenue increased 6%. Operating cash flow grew 13% to reach $3.1 billion.
Customers generating revenue rose by 1.2 million to 57 million, after rising by 1.4 million in the third quarter and 1.6 million in the year-earlier quarter.

Companion forum thread to:GoPro Wide Helmet Cam Review
Neat product...Edit: Never mind...:)
Edited by Steve_Evans on 08/25/2009 18:00:58 MDT.
Nice shots - I really miss rapids.
The GoPro Cam really would be able show some great action footage! Packrafting seems very cool from that perspective-----Nice Chill-Out tunes too!
I have an earlier version of the Digital Hero, and I have used it exactly once, on a kayaking trip to SE Alaska in 2007. I thought it was a disaster, and abandoned it. To get a decent picture you needed to have the light JUST RIGHT- God forbid you challenge the thing with other than bright daylight with a near-stationary subject. Having any decent shots at all from that trip was wholly a matter of luck. (I used it mainly for still photos.)What are the specs on this iteration?
I really enjoyed that review and video. The camera seems to be very user friendly, with the exception of having to remove your helmet to begin shooting. And, the video and wide view were great. Think I'll try to get in the BPL Packrafting course next year. Looks like a lot of fun!
Edited by socalpacker on 08/26/2009 14:05:54 MDT.
I'm with Dean. I tried one of these in Mexico and found it worthless. Not being able to see what you're doing or knowing if it's on.How is the sound on the new model?
Great stuff .. awesome video !

Teaching Statement
I teach courses that explore the human dimensions of energy, resource utilization and environmental change with a focus on developing regions. I draw on multiple disciplines to help students better understand the complex nature of interrelationships between human society and the environment. I have several objectives that I try to achieve through teaching: to challenge students to think across disciplinary boundaries, make students comfortable with different analytical methods so they can question the assumptions, and debate, critique, or justify the use of various methodologies, and help students identify their strengths and weaknesses as they define their own unique career pathways.
I combine lectures with in-class discussions and student-centered activities such as role-playing, debating, and oral presentations. I utilize multiple approaches to evaluating student performance including short written responses to weekly readings, class participation, and modeling exercises as well long-form writing assignments like policy memos and term papers. My current course offerings include:
Climate Change: Impacts, Adaptation, and Mitigation – this is a survey course that introduces students to the science and policy of climate change and examines vulnerability, adaptation, and mitigation strategies. The course focuses on climate change at different scales, and on multiple divides that exist: between least developed countries and newly industrializing countries of the global South and between the various blocs of developing countries and the industrialized North. This course has evolved since I first taught it in 2007, as the international climate regime itself has changed. It remains a popular course – in Fall 2013 it had its largest enrollment yet with 45 students.
Energy Issues in Developing Countries – this course covers advanced topics in energy as it pertains to developing and emerging economies. The course spans local, national, and global scales. Each scale is introduced through relevant theoretical issues, which are supported by one or two case studies that explore how theory plays out in practice.
Contemporary Environmental Challenges in Africa - this course is designed as a graduate seminar that exposes students to a wide range of environmental challenges in Africa. Topics include climate change, environmental conflict, land degradation, biodiversity, and urbanization drawing from history, ecology, economics, anthropology, and political ecology.
Future teaching directions
In line with our evolving MEM program, I have led the development of the curriculum for our Energy Specialization. One major component of the specialization is the energy "capstone course", which I will teach beginning in Spring 2015. The course is still under development, but I envision it as a project-based course with real-world clients. Students will work individually or in pairs. The project itself should focus on applied problem solving and require the application of knowledge, methodological approaches, and techniques gained from courses taken during the prior three semesters of study.

"Dead eyes" is a bit of a cliché, but that's exactly what springs to mind faced with this merciless, near-mute, Scandinavian killer. His cold approach to business (read: murder) offers a detachment from human emotion that can makes one skin crawl. This guy doesn't seem to be crazy in the least, he just seems not to care.
Also, he displays many disloyal characteristics, namely that he feeds his partners into woodchippers, which, let's face it, is pretty rotten behavior. My guess is, after the movie ends, he's probably not a guy you would want to cross in prison. Or if you did, you'd probably want to keister a shiv. But you should probably keister a shiv anyway. It's prison, after all.
While Buffalo Bill practiced his craft for his own satisfaction and enjoyment, Kevin Spacey's John Doe was a more exacting agent of societal change. Or so he thought. His dedication to making the world a better place puts him in the role of a martyr, perhaps a more dangerous role than "simple psychopath."
You want creepy? Thousands of journals, removed fingertips, and hysterical outbursts after vomiting on commuters. That's John Doe's world. One that he hides behind a thin veil of sanity. That's before we even touch on what happens with "Lust."
Cut from the same cloth as Dr. Chilton is Bill Lumberg, a suspendered, 1980's Porsche-driving manager for Initech, a company that provides Internet solutions, synergies, or some-such thing. His creepy drawl carries on conversations with underlings that don't even require their presence, which makes me think that he could be just as delusional as a dude slow-dancing with his wiener tucked between his legs.
Mmmkay? Greaaat.

Burglary suspect caught inside Onalaska restaurant
Polk County Enterprise - June 2008
At about 3:30 a.m. Onalaska police were dispatched to Jerry's Restaurant where a caller said a suspicious vehicle was parked behind Jerrys. OPD offi cer Brian Perkins arrived at the restaurant in time to fi nd a man exiting the back of restaurant, Onalaska Police Chief Ron Gilbert said. Perkins requested backup from the Polk County Sheriff's Offi ce. While waiting for additional offi cers Perkins set up in an area outside the building where he could see anyone exit the building.
PCSO deputies Sgt. Perry Alexander and Jason Thompson arrived quickly and they made a preliminary search of the building. When Gilbert and Sgt. Lee Parrish arrived at the location a short time later, the suspect had not been located in the preliminary search. At 4:30 a.m., the second search found Shannon Hayes Barber hiding in a warehouse area of the restaurant and placed him under arrest. Initial charges fi led against Barber are burglary of a building, possession of a fi rearm and tampering with evidence. "Additional charges will be fi led based on other items we found in his vehicle," Gilbert said. The building has a video security system and offi cers found the video equipment damaged.
"We found the suspect with the money bag, checkbook with money," Gilbert said. "We really want to thank Sgt. Alexander and Deputy Jason Thompson for coming to our aid so quickly," Gilbert added. At 6:45 a.m. Tuesday, OPD offi cers closed another burglary in the Pine Harbor subdivision. After the suspect in the Jerry's Restaurant break-in had been before Pct 2 Justice of the Peace David G. Johnson for a magistrate's warning, OPD offi cers said he confessed that he broke into the Pine Harbor residence. Offi cers recovered all missing property with information obtained in the early morning interrogation. PCSO Investigator Chris Lima is handling further investigation, and by 7:23 a.m. Wednesday he was en route to the jail to interview the suspect. Gilbert said the Pine Harbor residence had sustained major damage, but all missing property was recovered and will be secured for the owners.

Watch the 20-minute video in which the MIT researcher explains how he wired his house with microphones and video cameras — and how we learn language and the landscapes in which we encounter each other.
Our delightful exercise with 10 of the 27 drawings that comprise the "wug test." Try them out with the kids in your life (or, yes, even by yourself). They'll demonstrate how children as young as three or four can internalize complex grammatical codes no one has necessarily ever tried to teach them. And let us know what surprised you!
This week we interviewed Jean Berko Gleason, a psycholinguist who is now a professor emerita at Boston University, about how we learn and use the most valuable of skills: human language. She's best known for her wug test experiment, revealing that children develop general systems to learn language.

For a long time the only way to make a good life in the music business was to get good enough to get signed by a major label. That is how it was as far back as I go. (Or can remember.)
Even original Punk Rock. Not the "Let's be retro and call ourselves a Punk band" Punk Rock. Or the music that came out in the mid 80's which was amazing but not Punk…I mean The Ramones, The New York Dolls, 1975 at CBGB's in the Bowery when it wasn't a tourist trap. (I was way to young to be there in 1975 but I wish I had been there)
While the rest of the world was listening to disco or 70's rock. These bands were making history and setting the stage for the next generation. Of course they didn't know it. But as far out of the lines as they were, as alternative as they sounded, THEY GOT SIGNED TO REAL LABELS. The Ramones were signed by Sire records. They made a movie which is now a cult/college classic.
They didn't ever make the top 40 but they had a home. A company. A label.
Now, there aren't that many major record labels. And the few that are left are afraid to put all the money behind something that isn't a sure-fire hit. I mean when you look at it from there point of view, they aren't in business to lose money?! And everyone is scared of losing their jobs too. (Just saying they aren't all horrible flesh-eating sharks)
So now, We have an endless supply of supremely talented bands, songwriters, and solo artists that desperately want their chance to make history and set the stage for the next generation but they can't get signed. What do they do? They go the indie route. This is where you have to pay for all your recording time, your P.R., your music videos, your photography, your merchandise, and so so much more. Each one of these things cost so much money. To lay it all out yourself is overwhelming.
But, if this is the only thing that you can see making you happy in life, why not go for it? Even if you don't become rich or famous but, you make enough money to survive with dignity and have fans that absolutely adore your music? Isn't that just as good or way better than making the same amount of money doing something you like far less and feeling as though you settled? And who says you have to raise all that capital in one day.?
I'm just asking. I'm not telling anyone to throw away their college fund or not have a backup plan…I'm just asking. I'm also noticing that so many of you are starting to get involved in this at a much younger age and with much more support from your families. This gives you a much better chance of success in everything. The more people you have on your team, the better. In this case, I don't mean your fans. I mean the people that see you as nothing less than amazing no matter what. To go after a life in an industry where there are no guarantees is probably a tad crazy. So, you really want people around you that love you crazy and all.
Anyway, I have been talking about this on this blog for well over a year now. But I have to admit that I had no idea the power and indie band or an indie label could have until the other night. I was having another night of insomnia mixed with you tube. Not such a good combination. So, I know the band Fun because, well, I don't live under a rock. I saw them on the Grammy awards and I've taught the acoustic version of 'Some Nights' to many students on the piano.
But last night, I started watching their videos and looking at the number of hits…25 million, 75 million, 102 million…and those are just from one post of each video… I was like wow these guys really are huge. I googled them and found out that they are an indie band. They are not signed by any major label. They started it alone. Now they have a label. It's called "Fueled By Ramen". The kid (and I can call him a kid because he started the company when he was still in high school) felt he and his co-workers would eat ramon noodles and put any money they made back into the company. Doesn't sound like much huh? Well, they weren't but then they took chances on bands like Franklin, Tennessee's very own Paramore and others and …well…Fun and now they are a subsidiary of Warner Music and distributed by Atlantic Records. Okay, I can't get into all of this and I'm still learning but subsidiary??? Distribution ??? This is way better than being signed by Warner or Atlantic… (Basically the same) This band and this label are in the best possible position anyone in the industry could possibly want to be in.
So, for those of you who haven't heard or seen...I posted 'Carry On' on facebook...because it's like an Anthem. But here I'll put "Some Nights" It's a great video.
So, I do stick by what I've been saying all along…Don't worry about money and fame just do what you love and hope you can make a living. But if you have a huge message and you want to get it out to 102 million people…Go for it. I can't imagine it being easy. But, the ones that want something that much, are the ones that don't ever seem to mind how long it takes, how hard it is or how many people slam the door on their foot just as they're about to get it in the door.
But what about the indie artists that don't win 2 Grammy awards? That might not be everyday household names?
Well this is Vance Brescia, a singer/songwriter from my hometown in Long Island. He was talking about his old band The Mosquitoes from back in the early 80's in this quote...
"We were very close to a record deal several times with my material and the one criticism back then was that it was too many different styles. I even said to the powers that be, why don't you pick one style off the reel that you like (back then it was a reel) and I'll write ten songs of that if that's what you think it takes.
It was a very telling thing, considering back in 1966 that you could have three or four different styles on one record, and now they wanted just one.
It seemed very strange and when I saw that I realized that I probably was no longer relevant in the traditional record deal sense of the word - and then I just said it's just time to move on, which is why I made my money as a live entertainer."
So even 30 years ago, the writing on the wall was coming into focus. Sometimes if you want it done..... you have to do it yourself.
And he did. Vance was very successful. In 1985 "The Monkees" made a reunion album (Who remembers them?) called "That was then, this is now" Vance wrote the title track. It was a hit!!! He also had several songs in movies, TV and is still going strong…(His bio is actually quite impressive)
But let's take a quick trip back 30 years. 1983. New York City. When The Mosquitos made a video with a small company "Park Avenue Video" trying to break into the new, exciting world of music videos…If you were around in that time it will bring back memories. If not, you will think we were all crazy.
That was then This is now
Now, I need a clever wrap up???… I know I don't mean this 'Do it your own way message' just for people in the music industry. I think it goes for anyone…In sports, in business in any possible position or field or situation in life. Okay, I got it. This is much better than anything I'll ever come up with. I'll use the words of someone else. Because SOMETIMES when you want to say something perfectly...you DON'T do it yourself..
"Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward.
Maybe they have to be crazy.
While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do."
-- Steve Jobs

Rick and Steve hit Logo in July
Rick and Steve are a gay couple, and they're animated. I don't mean they're lively, I mean they're the stars of a new animated series for Logo called Rick and Steve. The series, which begins July 10 at 10:00 p.m., features voice work by Alan Cumming, Margaret Cho, Wilson Cruz and Peter Paige. The music for the series is composed by the same folks who wrote the music for Avenue Q.
The characters in Rick and Steve resemble tiny posable toys, which makes the show look like something created for the Nick Jr. set. Of course, the themes are just a tad more adult than that, or so I gathered by watching the trailer.
Perhaps, being straight, I'm not the best one to judge this new show (nor would I make a judgment based on the trailer alone), but I've often wondered if specialized channels like BET and Logo fail to achieve recognition because they spend too much time making sure their shows feature positive portrayals (which is good), but not enough time actually making those shows compelling and worth watching (which is not so good). And yes, I know BET often gets accused of perpetuating a stereotype of misogyny and greed by playing certain rap and hip hop videos, but I think the network's overall focus is positive, or at least tries to be.
I guess we'll have to wait and see how Rick and Steve turns out, but I have to say I wasn't exactly floored by the tiny snippet I just saw.

Radical new mixer technology.
With its incredible signal-processing power on every channel, easy store and recall of every setting, and the ability to record it all with just two mouse clicks, a StudioLive mixer will spoil you fast. Easier to use, better sounding, and flawlessly integrated with state-of-the-art software, it delivers the most creative environment possible for both live performance and studio music production. The 32-channel, 14-aux PreSonus StudioLive 32.4.2AI starts with all the strengths of previous StudioLive models-and then pushes the technology to the next level.
StudioLive 32.4.2AI is built with next-generation Active Integration technology that adds unprecedented power for mixing consoles in this price class. So while the 32.4.2AI looks and feels much like its non-AI counterparts it has with far more computing power, which makes possible some very useful new features.
For starters, you get twice as many internal effects buses and 31-band graphic EQs. We've added six mute groups and user-assignable Quick Scene buttons. You'll love the ability to create two complete sets of EQ and dynamics settings for a channel or bus and then make quick A/B comparisons at the touch of a button.
A built-in 48x34 FireWire S800 interface is standard equipment but Thunderbolt and Ethernet (Dante) cards are expected by the end of 2013. A dedicated USB 2 port and included Wi-Fi LAN adapter lets you control the mixer wirelessly-even without a Mac or Windows PC.
Of course, you get the latest version of our tightly integrated software bundle, including updated Capture 2.0 recording software, Studio One Artist DAW, and Virtual StudioLive-AI editor/librarian/control software with Smaart Measurement Technology. StudioLive Remote-AI for iPad and QMix-AI for iPhone/iPod touch will both be available free from the Apple App Store. The deeper you dig into the StudioLive 32.4.2AI's capabilities, the more you will realize that the future of digital mixing starts here and now.
Products that sense each other, interact and work together via wireless and wired communication, feature 32-bit floating-point DSP and seamlessly integrated software, and run on powerful CPUs is the coming wave of live audio. PreSonus has realized this dream with its new Active Integration technology. Thanks to Active Integration, the StudioLive 32.4.2AI mixer has 64 times the processing power and an incredible 10,000 times more RAM than the StudioLive 24.4.2.
A quick look at the StudioLive 32.4.2AI reveals a now-familiar, user-friendly mixing surface. It sports 100 mm faders for the 32 channels, 4 subgroups, and main bus. As with all StudioLive mixers, convenient knobs and buttons abound, and all core mixing features are immediately accessible from the mixing surface, without using the LCD, providing an intuitive, analog-like user experience.
The unique Fat Channel section delivers a compressor, limiter, gate/expander, and four-band fully parametric EQ on every channel, bus, and subgroup, plus a high-pass filter and polarity invert for each channel-not to mention routing, panning, and Scene and setting store and recall.
Select buttons assign the channels, buses, and subgroups to the Fat Channel for processing and routing. There's a Talkback section, Cue section, and extensive metering.
And of course you get aux buses-14 of them-and 32-bit floating-point stereo reverb and delay on dedicated buses-two of each.
View the rear, and you'll see a familiar StudioLive jackfield, with XLR mic and ¼" inputs and TRS insert points on every channel, along with a wealth of other inputs and outputs. A pair of FireWire ports-FireWire S800, rather than the FireWire 400 ports found on the StudioLive 24.4.2, 16.4.2, and 16.0.2-provides wired networking to a Mac or PC, with options for Thunderbolt and Ethernet (Dante). Stereo S/PDIF digital outputs-check! Analog direct channel outputs on DB25 connectors-check! Obviously, flexible connectivity is no problem.
The audio quality, as always with PreSonus, is first rate. Like all StudioLive models, StudioLive 32.4.2 offers PreSonus' widely lauded Class A XMAX mic preamps and top-notch converters with 118 dB of dynamic range. Reviewers have raved about the high quality of StudioLive mixers' dynamics processing, EQ, high-pass filters, and effects. The only difference with the StudioLive 32.4.2 is that PreSonus has given you even more of them.
The 32.4.2AI is a StudioLive, but it's a major step beyond previous StudioLive mixers.
Order today and surf the new wave of mixing tech.

Comments about PreSonus StudioLive 32.4.2 AI 32-channel Digital Mixer with Active Integration:
I have been a StudioLive user/owner since 2009 when I got my first 16.4.2. My primary use of this mixer is in a live environment, and I was also using the Yamaha LS9 and 01V96 for digital consoles, along with A&H GL series for analog consoles. I was at the time (and still am) very impressed with the overall sound quality, ease of use, and the shortened amount of time that I could get from load in to sound check using the StudioLive mixer. Since these boards are also digital interfaces, you can track your entire show live at the click of a mouse. This alone will please most any band that you are mixing. Throw in a DVD with raw tracks for them and/or a stereo mix with no extra effort on your part. The software for both Mac and Windows are included with these mixers. Another great feature of the SL mixers are the iOS device apps that are included. If you run live sound, you have surely been stuck into a corner somewhere that isn't a good spot at all to hear (or see) the band. I have had to mix a few shows using headphones due to some really bad mix positions. Guess what, this is no longer an issue with the iPad app. I can sit in the best spot in the house with my iPad and mix an entire show. I have done this on many occasions. It is also very handy for dialing in the monitor EQs. I can now stand on stage and do a mic check while EQing from my iPad! If you want to, you can also let each band member manage their own monitor mix too.
I have since retired my Yamaha digital consoles, and have added the new 32.4.2 AI along with a 16.4.2 AI and I must say that I am very impressed with the improvement in sound quality that Presonus has made in the AI series. I was already pleased with the original series, but the AI series has taken this to a whole new level. I ran my first festival show with the 32.4.2 AI two days after getting it, and was very pleased overall. The workflow is exactly like the original SL series, but with many improvements, like the A/B fat channel settings and the GEQ having a dedicated button on the work surface. I absolutely love that the 32 channel version has mute groups and quick scenes directly on the work surface as well! Another welcome addition is the 2 extra FX processors. There are now 4 in all, making the use of outboard gear no longer needed. Even with a bigger show 4 FX processors are usually enough. I still have my favorite rack mount unit though, and using this is no problem with the SL mixers, because they have loads of aux sends (6 on the 16ch, 14 on the 32ch) and 2 stereo returns.
My original 16.4.2 is still going strong and has been a solid and reliable mixer. I absolutely love these digital consoles for their analog feel, easy workflow, and reliability. I am installing one of these at my church as well, and think it will be a great move for them. They use a lot of volunteer sound staff, so I think the StudioLive will be a great fit because of its ease of use, and short learning curve. The fat channel is a great visual for what is dialed in on any channel. In addition the SL mixers have great metering and you can easily see what is going on in the big picture with a glance.
I strongly recommend this mixer and have used lots of other digital and analog consoles. If you are coming from analog, this is an easy choice. It will feel familiar to you in a relatively short amount of time and is easier in many respects. No more remembering which compressor in your rack is patched to which channel. Just hit select on the channel that you are working with and everything is there at your fingertips. Also, you can leave those racks of compressors at home, because everything is onboard! Get yourself one of these today, you won't be disappointed.

Comments about PreSonus StudioLive 32.4.2 AI 32-channel Digital Mixer with Active Integration:
I got this in September and have used it every weekend since. This board has just about everything I need as a mobile sound engineer. It took an hour or so to get it set up the way I want it, and now when I set up for a show my time is cut by more than half. I really like the analog feel of this board, even though it is digital. The sound is great, and there is plenty of head room to play with. My only complaints are that all the monitor sends are 1/4 inch and there's only 4 subgroups (8 would be wonderful).

Course outline
The course's interdisciplinary requirements encourage students to view the past, across Europe as well as in Ireland, in a multi-dimensional way while they learn core linguistic and other technical skills necessary for academic research in the Late Antique and Medieval worlds.
Students take a year-long seminar (Sources & Resources) focusing on palaeography and manuscript studies; it also introduces students to auxiliary sciences such as diplomatic, heraldry and philology and includes a team-work, web-based project on a medieval scriptorium. All students take Latin and one other language (of their choice). No prior knowledge of these languages is required. To round out the year, students choose modules in Archaeology, Classics and History, and English, French, German or Irish Literature.
By Semester 2, students will have identified a supervisor with whom they develop a dissertation topic through intensive bibliographical investigation, before completing their research and writing over the summer.

"Medieval Studies is ideal because of its interdisciplinary nature...One of it's most encouraging aspects is that the faculty have been so supportive and they really take an interest in the students. Galway is a great city to meet new people and make lifelong friends. Probably the number one word I would use to describe the place is "welcoming". NUI Galway is a great place to study, with it's high academic standards and supportive student environment".

Driving News Roundup: March 22, 2013
This is a weekly feature on the NMA Blog, running each Friday, where we highlight seven of the most interesting driving news stories of the week.
Illinois: Federal investigation of red-light camera scandal
Federal authorities have launched a criminal probe of bribery allegations in Chicago's red-light camera program, issuing a subpoena for financial records of the former city official at the center of the escalating international scandal. The subpoena was the first indication that the U.S. attorney's office has opened a case, triggering a series of investigations that now threaten to consume the company.
New York: NYC police union opposes cameras to catch speeders
New York City's police union (Police Benevolent Association) is urging state lawmakers to reject legislation that would set up cameras to catch speeders. The PBA is urging state legislators not to pass a bill authorizing the camera program saying that speed cameras "are no substitute for live policing."
Feds: No warrant needed to Track your car with a GPS device
The Obama administration is claiming that authorities do not need court warrants to affix GPS devices to vehicles to monitor their every move.
Oregon/Arkansas: Pursue left-lane use limits
State lawmakers in multiple states are considering bills to keep most drivers out of the fast lane. An Oregon bill would make the left lane off limits for everything except passing. In Arkansas, a similar effort is being pursued. Supporters, including OOIDA and the National Motorists Association, say that blocking the left lane, whether intentional or not, results in reduced road safety and efficiency.
Tennessee: Lawmakers seek to shut down interstate speed traps
Legislators say they've heard complaints about smaller towns along the interstate thinking of those roadways as a sort of cash cow. A proposal working its way through the general assembly would give safety officials the right to revoke a municipalities authority to patrol the interstate if they don't comply with rules. If the proposal becomes law, it would apply to towns with a population of 10,000 or less.
Ohio: Drivers encouraged by speed limit change
State legislators passed a bill increasing the speed limit on some Ohio highways. Soon 65 mph speed limit signs could be replaced with signs that say 70. The state legislature passed a state transportation budget that includes raising the speed limit on rural interstate highways. The bill still has to be signed by the governor, who is expected to sign it.
California: Committee would give photo ticket points to non-drivers
Owners of vehicles registered in California could have their license suspended for red light running violations, even if they never get behind the wheel of their cars. Under Assembly Bill 666 considered by the state Assembly Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, red-light camera tickets would be turned into administrative violations that hold the owner responsible for $500 and license points for violations committed by others.
To see more stories like the ones above, check out our NMA Driving News site. Each weekday we update the site with news stories that are interesting and/or informative for drivers like you.
You deserve every speeding ticket you get. You can complain all you want after the fact, but it's true. Find out why.

Have you ever been in a traffic jam and then after it clears, when you expect to see an accident or some other reason for it, you find nothing? Find out what causes these traffic jams.
It's not what causes these traffic jams, it's who. There's a specific type of driver to blame and the worst part is that they love doing it and refuse to stop. Who is wasting your time?
7 Stories of Speed Trap Revenge: These drivers didn't let the authorities get away with their corrupt traffic enforcement practices. See how the little guys fought back.
This collection of stories will definitely entertain you, but make sure you don't buy into the underlying message. Find out the dangerous myth that these stories perpetuate.
3 dirty tricks that the ticket camera industry uses to steal money from safe drivers. Discover what you don't know.
Despite years of evidence showing that ticket camera companies don't care about safety and will do anything for a buck, there are few tricks that the average driver often fails to notice. You can help expose them.

'14 Kadaugan sa Mactan culminates with Rampada-A A +A
Sunday, April 27, 2014
M.L. QUEZON National Highway is still closed tonight for the Kadaugan sa Mactan street party.
Vehicles were barred from entering the thoroughfare starting at 5 p.m. yesterday.
The Lapu-Lapu City Government expects a bigger crowd this year because of additional events, said Councilor Harry Don Radaza.
Japanese-Brazilian model Daniel Matsunaga will play Lapu-Lapu, while actor Carlos Agassi will play Magellan during the battle reenactment. Beauty queen Venus Raj will play Lapu-Lapu's wife Bulakna.
Eighteen contingents have signed up for tonight's Rampada, a showdown of dancers in colorful and ornate costumes. Thirteen are under the barangay category, while the rest are under the open category.
March Mandal, the City's cultural administrator and Rampada artistic director, said the street dancing will start near the skywalk of M.L. Quezon and make its way to the City Hall.
Contingents will be judged on their choreography, theme and concept, performance, costume and headdress, among others.
Free WiFi
The two-night street party will feature 13 local and international disc jockeys.
Meanwhile, the City is offering free Internet access through WiFi.
About 500 users at any given time will be able to avail themselves of the service.
A user, though, who is idle for two minutes will automatically be disconnected to give way to other users.
Last night, the City held the Kahayag Parade, which featured three categories—float, higante, or puppeteers, and costume plays.
It also held the search for Reyna Bulakna at the 360 stage near City Hall. (FMG)

Outlook Todoist Won't Load
Good Day
I've managed to install Outlook Todoist but when I launch Outlook, it doesn't load.
I go to File > Options > Add-Ins and I see it listed under Inactive Application Add-Ins so I click the Go... button for Manage COM Add-ins. Even after checking Outlook Todoist and reloading Outlook, it still does not load. I also tried restarting the computer but that did not help.
I'm not sure what is the issue but I did noticed that under Location for Outlook Todoist, it is listed as file:///C:\Program Files (x86)\Outlook Todoist/OutlookTodoist.vsto|vstolocal while all the other add-ins don't have the file:/// before their locations.
There is no error message so I'm not sure what else I should do.
Thank you and have a great day!
All responses
Hello Tariq,
The file:/// path is correct. Please try to uninstall the plugin through the Control Panel -> Programs and Features (it will be listed as "OutlookTodoist"), then download the latest version from this location: https://d2dq6e731uoz0t.cloudfront.net/354a36dcf40f6dd891fafdb6d2b97716/as/OutlookTodoist.exe right-click on it -> "Run As Administrator" and if in this version the issue persists and the plugin asks you to send an error report to us, please agree.
If it doesn't ask you to send an error report, please send the logs our plugin created to firstname.lastname@example.com You can find them either in:
C:\Users[User name]\AppData\Local\Todoist
My Documents\TodoistData\
Best regards,
Good Day
The link provided is actually the same version of the application that I have installed but I went ahead and followed your instructions.
Even after installing the application you linked to, it is still not loading. Like previously, there was no error message and I did not see any logs in the 2 folders you mentioned above. In fact, I did see a Todoist folder in Local nor did I see a TodoistData in My Documents. I even tried searching other User Name folders in Users but did not see a Todoist folder.
One thing I noticed when I tried to manually load the plug in in Outlook is that the Load Behavior now says "Not loaded. A runtime error occurred during the loading of the COM Add-in."
Hopefully this helps. Let me know if there is anything else that you need from me.
Thank you for this information. Please tell me - did you install Todoist on the C: drive or a different partition? Please try to search for *todoist on all your drives on your system and let us know if you find the logs.
Best regards,
Hi David
This was installed on my C and searching for it I can only find files in C:\Program Files (x86)\OutlookTodoist
Hi David
Wondering if there is anything that I can try to fix this issue?
We're very sorry for the inconvenience, but for now there doesn't seem do be any known solution to this issue. We're working on it all the time and hope to find a solution very soon.
In the meantime, please tell me - are you using the 32-bit version of Outlook or the 64-bit version?
Best regards,
Hi Davis
I'm using a Office 64 bit and also Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit.
Let me know if you need any other information from me.
Hi David
Wanted to follow up on this (it's on my list of things to get done :)).
Do you know what is causing the issue and if there are any fixes I could test?
Our current Outlook plugin does not work on the 64-bit of Outlook. We're looking for a better solution than Awesomium, which we now use to connect to Todoist (but it's a 32-bit library) and we'll soon release an update which should make it work also on 64-bit Outlook. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Best regards,
Hi David
I wonder if there has been any update to this issue?
Thank you!
Hello Tariq,
Please try to install this version which should work on 64-bit Outlook and let us know if you experience any issues: https://d2dq6e731uoz0t.cloudfront.net/dae554f5290b82be4c0eea0a29d8e236/as/OutlookTodoist.Adx.RC.exe
Best regards,
I'm sorry, that was the wrong link, please use this version: https://d2dq6e731uoz0t.cloudfront.net/1edb5e32790186f1ded825549e63bfb3/as/OutlookTodoist.Adx.RC.exe this one should work with 64-bit.
Best regards,
Thank you David! Initial installation works fine :)
I can't wait to use this and will keep you posted on how it goes.
Thank you so much!!!
P.S. Are you all working on a Windows 8 Metro style app?
We're glad it works for your now, we'll make some further improvements and will release this version very soon.
Although we're currently not working on a native Windows 8 app, it is on our to-do list and will be available eventually. You're welcome to add your vote for this request in our Votebox: http://todoist.com/Vote/showProposal/558/

Thank you for this information, I'll pass it to the developers. Please tell me - when exactly did this issue occur? When you've opened Outlook, added a task etc.? What triggered it and can you reproduce it?
Best regards,
Hi David
Outlook had been opened for several hours and I was interacting with my emails. I don't recall interacting with the Todoist panel when this issue happened. My computer was really slow at that time and I did a restart.
I've not been able to reproduce it but will keep an eye out.
Hi David,
I've just installed the Outlook plugin, and have been having some issues getting it working like some other people here.
I've got it working now; here's some info for you:
Windows 7 64bit
Office 2010 64bit
Antivirus: Symantec 12
I could not get the plugin to enable, until I disabled Symantec. Once I disabled Symantec, I installed the plugin (using the installer you posted on Apr 22, 06.48). I then re-enabled Symantec, and everything is working.
Symantec logs (for when I installed with it enabled) say this:
Filename: outlooktodoistadx.dll
Action: Restart required - cleaned
Risk Type: Virus
Risk: Manually generated anomaly
Status: Cleaned
Primary Action: Restart required - clean security risk
Logged by: Auto-protect scan
Description: Restart required - the file was repaired successfully.
<sarcasm>Thanks Symantec</sarcasm>
Hello David,
Please try to install this version of our plugin: https://d2dq6e731uoz0t.cloudfront.net/23ba6af99340be5655be8317812129dd/as/OutlookTodoist.Adx.RC.exe and see if it works even with Symantec enabled.
Best regards,

Reserve lawman eyes Tom Green Co. constable seat
SAN ANGELO, Texas - Randy Harris tossed his name into the race for Tom Green County constable Precinct 4 on Friday night at the steps of the Tom Green County Courthouse.
Harris brings 32 years of law enforcement experience with him. He has worked with the San Angelo Police Department, has been chief of the park police before that division was disbanded, and worked as courthouse security for U.S. marshals. He now serves as reserve law enforcement for Tom Green County.
"Law enforcement is my career," Harris said. "I love law enforcement. I'm a public servant."
Harris said he had it in his mind to run for about four or five months. He is running as a Republican, he said.
"After much thought and prayer and discussion with my wife, I stand before you to announce my candidacy," Harris said in front of about a dozen people.
Constables are often executive officers of justice of the peace courts, according to the Texas Association of Counties. They can subpoena witnesses, act as bailiffs and execute judgments.
"The constable is the civil process arm," Harris said.
Harris plans on being able to cooperate effectively with various law enforcement agencies because of his combined background with federal, city and county law enforcement.
The cooperation would come through his offering his services if he finds he has gotten ahead in his duties.
"It has to start with me," Harris said.
The office that Harris seeks now belongs to Precinct 4 Constable Scott Byrd, who announced he will not run for that position again.
"I would like to inform you that I will not be seeking re-election for the position of Tom Green County Constable Precinct 4," Byrd wrote in a general email. "I would also like to thank all those who supported me during my term in office."
Precinct 3 Constable James Smith was at Harris' announcement to show his support.
"What we need is some good people in there to get the credibility back," Smith said.

A thought on the common topic of general militia usage

I would disagree about why we have an all-volunteer army. It was the fallout of VietNam where many were drafted for an unsuccessful war and those in the know avoided the draft if they didn't want to go.
Given the climate change for equality - a continuing draft would have had to reach into all classes and the commonly used deferments and special privileged entry into the National Guard would not be allowed.
Thus, an AV army avoided sending all to war. Also, we haven't needed the massive number of troops - yet!
All males and females having a military quality weapons at home would be a nightmare to monitor. We are not as cultural coherent as Switzerland. The expense of training and controlling these guns would be horrific.
If the Martians land or climate change ends our civilization, worry about it then. The possibility of such a need for a massive armed force isn't really likely.
