President announces new board chair and dean
I am pleased to bring news of two important appointments for the PSR community. The first is that of Sharon MacArthur to be chair of the Board of Trustees, effective at the close of the May Board meeting. Sharon is a PSR alum (MDiv 2001), senior pastor of Sycamore Congregational Church in El Cerrito and a member of the Board since 2005. The first woman of color to head the Board, Sharon succeeds Jerry Vallery and will serve a three-year term. "I'm very honored and very humbled to be given this position," Sharon says. "I look forward to working with PSR and Bill as he continues his leadership in the Alternative Futures work for the GTU. It will be exciting to bring my no-holds barred commitment to working together with others into play in a new way—a commitment nurtured by life experiences as a local pastor, past preschool teacher, product of a family "tribal" dynamic/tradition. We're all going to have to work together in new ways in these critical times."
The second appointment, recommended by the PSR faculty and approved by the Board, is that of Mary A. Tolbert to be dean of the faculty and vice president for academic affairs, effective July 1, 2009. Mary is George H. Atkinson Professor of Biblical Studies at PSR and has served as the executive director of the Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies in Religion and Ministry since its founding in 2000. She promises to bring a passion for social justice and an inclusive gospel to the dean's position. "The next few years are critical for progressive Christianity," Mary says, "and PSR's voice must be strengthened for the challenges that lie ahead. I want this seminary not just to survive but to thrive."

Scouting Report: Portland Trail Blazers
The Trail Blazers (45-27) come to Philips Arena looking to snap a 3-game losing streak (3-7 in their last 10). The Hawks (31-38) have a 4-game losing streak of their own, and both teams hold just a two game lead over ninth in their respective conferences. The Blazers sit in fifth in the West, but with five through nine separated by just two games, they are far from safely in the playoffs.
After a scorching start to the season, Portland has cooled off significantly, going 5-9 in March, and with LaMarcus Aldridge (back) missing the last seven games (3-4) the Blazers have struggled to find the same rhythm they had early in the season. Aldridge has been upgraded to questionable for tonight's tilt with Atlanta and said earlier in the week that he was targeting this game for his return. Aldridge himself had cooled off prior to the injury, but has still averaged a career-high 23.4 points and 11.1 rebounds per game this season.
Aldridge gives the Blazers a frontcourt scoring threat from the post and, more significantly, mid-range. No player in the NBA has come close to taking the number of mid-range shots Aldridge has — his 786 mid-range attempts is 97 higher than second-place Carmelo Anthony. Helping Aldridge this season has been Robin Lopez, who provides a quality rebounder and defensive post presence next to Aldridge — something they lacked last year. Lopez can stay on the block while Aldridge picks and pops, and on defense allows Aldridge to play against power forwards where last year he often got worn down by opposing centers.
Damian Lillard is the reigning rookie of the year, and has continued his strong play from last year. Averaging 21.1 points and 5.6 assists per game, Lillard is explosive off the dribble and is a threat attacking the rim and shooting from three-point range (38.5% from three this season). Jeff Teague will have his hands full on the defensive end against Lillard, but Damian is a below-average defender, so Teague and the Hawks' guards should have opportunities to get open looks at the basket.
Both teams have plenty of motivation going into this game with regards to the playoff race and each is on a losing streak preempted by injuries to important players (Aldridge and Kyle Korver). For the Blazers, finding ways to get defensive stops — their defense has struggled during this losing streak — will be key, while the Hawks have to find a way to slow Lillard and Aldridge while limiting their own turnovers — 25 against Minnesota doomed them.

DXpeditions is topic for February OARS meeting
Come to this month's meeting and find out everything you ever wanted to know about DXpeditions, especially the AO0AA Clipperton Island DXpediton. Vice President and Program Director Lee Chambers, KI7SS, has ordered a copy of a professional videotape on the topic, and assuming it arrives in time, it will be shown on a digital big screen projector -- five feet across!
See you there!
Code-free Technician ticket turns 10
Valentine's Day, February 14, marked the 10th anniversary of the elimination of the Morse code requirement to obtain a Technician license. For the first time, starting on February 14, 1991, applicants could obtain an Amateur Radio license in the US without having to take a Morse code examination. The ARRL was among several petitioners for a codeless license -- quite a controversial issue at the time. In putting out the welcome mat to the new class of Amateurs in his "It Seems to Us . . ." editorial in the February 1991 QST, ARRL Executive Vice President David Sumner, K1ZZ, predicted that five years down the road, "our first codeless amateurs will be providing personnel and leadership in local public service communications efforts from coast to coast." That prediction turned out to be right on the money. The Technician license has proved popular over the years, and Technician and Tech Plus licensees far outnumber other license classes today.-- from the ARRL Letter
FCC queries wireless net provider about interference to hams
The FCC has asked a wireless Internet system provider what it intends to do to eliminate interference to Amateur Radio operations in the Dallas, Texas area. The FCC wrote Darwin Networks Inc on February 8, 2001, regarding complaints of harmful interference to Amateur TV on 2.4 GHz that's said to be a result of the company's deployment of Part 15 devices in an apartment complex.
The FCC said Darwin Networks' Part 15 devices at the Post Townlake Village property in Dallas apparently were installed in the apartment complex to provide Internet service using wireless 2.4 GHz nodes from Cisco Inc.
In the letter, FCC Special Counsel for Amateur Radio Enforcement Riley Hollingsworth noted that operators of Part 15 devices are required to cease operation should harmful interference occur to authorized (i.e. licensed) spectrum users. "Darwin Networks is obligated under Commission rules to locate the source of interference caused by its equipment and make necessary corrections within a reasonable time," he said.
According to Hollingsworth, Darwin had written the unidentified complainant stating that its devices were operating under Part 18 Industrial, Scientific and Medical rules, which would not obligate the company to resolve amateur complaints. But Hollingsworth said it appears that Darwin is not operating Part 18 ISM devices but Part 15 devices that are not covered by the same sort of exception.
Hollingsworth gave Darwin Networks 10 days to reply.

Well, here we are in February. With the weather being what it is, the flowers in the front of the house think it is time to come up. So far only the Crocus and Daffodils have made an appearance. I am sure there will be others.
We had a good meeting last month. There was, for us, a decent turn out and the evening's program was interesting. One of the items that received some discussion was Senate Bill SB 5002. This bill is being heard by the Economic Development & Telecommunications Committee. It deals with the height of amateur radio towers that one might want to erect on their property. I believe that regardless of your intent to erect or not erect a tower, the amateur community as a whole should support this issue. If you can, please write your representative and ask them to approve this bill.
As you are aware there is, on the first Saturday of the month, a breakfast at Nickelby's restaurant in Tumwater. I was able to attend in January and found it to be an enjoyable event. It was nice to see some folks that I had not seen for some time. The food was quite good. Try it some time.
What do you think we should do to increase interest and participation in OARS? Give the subject some thought. What would you like to see done that you feel would generate a desire to join in on the activity?
Speaking of activity -- March has the Mike and Key Flea Market at Puyallup. If you are going to be doing some spring cleaning and have some gear you want to make available to other users, please contact Lee, KI7SS or myself. We will have two tables there.

Buddy, can ya spare some power?
This appeared in The Press newspaper dated February 10th 2001, attributed to the Miami Herald.
When we consider the serious electricity shortage in California, our reaction, as concerned Americans, is: Ha Ha!
No, seriously, we are alarmed. Because history teaches us that whatever happens to California -- smog; road rage; tofu; coffee that is mainly air; cellphones; the belief that abdominal muscles are attractive; Shirley MacLaine; people taking inline skating seriously; grandmothers sporting new, flagrantly inappropriate bosoms -- eventually happens to the rest of the nation.
Thus it is vital that we analyze the California electricity shortage and see if we can develop a workable solution before we become bored and change the subject.
Our first question is: What, exactly, is electricity? When we look at our Microsoft Encarta encyclopedia, we see that "electricity" is defined as a "class of physical phenomena resulting from the existence of charge and from the interaction of charges."
What does this mean in layperson's terms? It means that whoever wrote the Microsoft Encarta encyclopedia is a big, fat dope. Because we know from our junior-high-school science training that electricity is actually a fast-moving herd of electrons, which are tiny one-celled animals that can survive in almost any environment except inside a double-A battery, where they die within minutes.
Electrons are formed when clouds rub together and become excited. This was proved in the famous experiment wherein Benjamin Franklin flew a kite during a thunderstorm and was almost killed. Encouraged by this success, Franklin went on to conduct many more electrical experiments, including rolling a hoop in a thunderstorm, playing hopscotch in a thunderstorm, and doing somersaults in a thunderstorm.
Finally one night he was caught wearing only a bonnet and playing "Mister Pooter Rides the Pony" in a thunderstorm, leaving the authorities with no choice but to arrest him and make him ambassador to France.
Nevertheless, Franklin had proved an important point, which is that electricity originates inside clouds. There, it forms into lightning, which is attracted to the earth by golfers. After entering the ground, the electricity hardens into coal, which, when dug up by power companies and burned in big ovens called generators, turns back into electricity, which is sent in the form of volts (also known as watts, or rpm for short) through special wires with birds sitting on them to consumers' homes, where it is transformed by TV sets into commercials for beer, which passes through the consumers and back into the ground, thus completing what is known as a circuit.
But enough technical talk.
The problem is that California is running out of electricity. The situation is so bad that in some hospitals, they don't have enough electricity to power those electric-shock paddles that get people's hearts going again; instead, the doctors and nurses have to hold hands, scuff their feet across the carpet in unison, then shout "CLEAR!" as they touch the patient's chest.
Who is responsible for California's electricity shortage? You could blame the power companies; or you could blame environmental wackos; or you could blame the entertainment industry, which uses over 750 billion watts of electricity per day just to blow-dry the cast of Dawson's Creek; or you could blame (why not?) the Firestone tyre company. But you would be wrong. Because obviously the real cause of the California electricity shortage is: university students.
I base this statement on widespread observation of my son, who is one, and who personally consumes more electricity than Belgium. If my son is in a room, then every electrical device within 200 metres of that room -- every light, computer, television, stereo, video game, microwave oven, etc. -- will be running. My son doesn't even have to turn the devices on; they activate themselves spontaneously in response to his presence.
Now take my son and multiply him by the number of university students in California, which according to my research is (EDITOR: Please insert number of college students in California) and you see my point, which is, (EDITOR: Please insert my point).
The question is: What can the rest of us do to help our fellow countrypersons in California? The answer is that we can send them our spare electricity.
Just imagine what would happen if all the households in this great and generous nation got out their extension leads and connected them together, forming a giant electrical "chain of helping" across the fruited plain to the Golden State! millions of people would be turned into generous smoking lumps of carbon, that's what. So maybe we should go with Plan B. This involves building a really, really, really big kite.

LF-to-LF transatlantic amateur contact is completed
Amateur Radio history was made this month when amateurs in Canada and the UK completed what appears to be the first two-way transatlantic Amateur Radio exchange on 136 kHz. Larry Kayser, VA3LK, and Lawrence "Laurie" Mayhead, G3AQC, managed the LF feat using extremely slow CW that featured 90-second- long dits and 180-second-long dahs. The two-way contact took two weeks to complete.
"We are the first to do a two-way QSO on LF across the North Atlantic as far as I am concerned," Kayser said. "We are the ones who put the stakes in the ground; others will build on what we have done."
The VA3LK-G3AQC contact began February 5 and was completed February 19 with the reception and confirmation of VA3LK's report by G3AQC. Both stations used spectrographic software and computers for receiving. The participants agreed in advance to a "firewall" between them for the duration of the contact and that all QSO information was exchanged over the LF radio link.
The UK has an amateur band at 136 kHz. While Canada has not yet authorized general Amateur Radio operation on 136 kHz, Kayser and a few other Canadian amateurs have received special authorization to conduct LF experiments there.
G3AQC and VA3LK were using a combination of commercial and surplus equipment at their respective stations. G3AQC estimated his effective radiated power at 350 mW, while VA3LK said he might have been at the 5 W ERP level.
In October 1998, the ARRL petitioned the FCC to create two amateur LF allocations at 135.7-137.8 kHz and 160-190 kHz. The FCC has not yet acted on the request.

Angered by the 4 a.m. raid [1] that demolished the two-week-old Occupy Oakland tent city at Frank Ogawa Plaza [2], more than a thousand protesters marched through the streets in downtown Oakland Oct. 25. The march left at 5 p.m. from the Oakland Public Library and lasted for hours, scattering and reconvening at times due to clouds of teargas or threats of mass arrest. Hundreds paraded through the streets, chanting, "We are the 99 percent."
Police deployed teargas, hurled flash grenades, made arrests, used physical force, and sent helicopters overhead with searchlights in efforts to halt the march. Protesters, meanwhile, threw objects at police and taunted them. But demonstrators pressed on, some remaining in the streets well into the night. Multiple law enforcement agencies were called to Oakland for assistance. (The Occupy Oakland Twitter feed is here [3].)
According to an update from the National Lawyers Guild that was shared during the 4 p.m. rally, over 100 people remained in jail following the early morning raid on the encampment, and several had physical injuries. Lawyers expected most would be cited and released, and charges included illegal lodging and remaining at the scene of a riot. It was unclear how many arrests were made during the Oct. 25 demonstration.
Here's a video of what transpired in the streets as Occupy Oakland protesters railed against police repression.

[FOLK] Alynda Lee Segarra admits she's gotten soft. Once a teenage vagabond, who left home before she was old enough to vote and spent time hopping freight trains and hitchhiking around the country, the singer and musician has, at age 26, finally settled into a life of comfort and stability.
"I sleep in a bed, always have a little money in my pocket and don't have to carry everything I own on my back," says Segarra, who fronts the folk-blues act Hurray for the Riff Raff. "I am blessed."
Growing up in the Bronx, raised by her aunt and uncle, Segarra spent much of her time at punk shows in the bohemian Lower East Side, looking for her "people." She often came into contact with travelers who'd regale her with tales of riding the rails and drifting from place to place. "I always had a wandering mind," she says, recalling "epic" family road trips in wood-paneled vans. "I knew I should be out on the road somewhere." And so, at 17, Segarra set out on her own, eventually settling in the South. After coming to New Orleans and joining the Dead Man Street Orchestra as a washboard player, she picked up the banjo and guitar and tried her hand at songwriting.
"I am a fan of simplicity," Segarra says. "I am also a big fan of melody, and that is why I never was interested in performing hardcore or punk music. I wanted to sing something pretty."
She formed Hurray for the Riff Raff with drummer and violinist Yosi Pearlstein and bassist David Maclay in 2007, self-releasing its first two albums of soulful, Woody Guthrie-influenced blues. The group released its fourth album, Small Town Heroes, earlier this year, and while the record maintains the same wandering sound the trio is known for, Segarra's focus is on her adopted hometown of New Orleans. Much attention has been paid to one song in particular, "The Body Electric," which, according to Segarra, was written about a young girl she met on her travels who was later murdered.
"It's a song that speaks about our society's conditioning toward women and their bodies," she says. "When a woman has the audacity to believe she is the sole owner of her body, often she is harmed in some way, physically or mentally. 'The Body Electric' sings to the women killed in murder-ballad folk songs and to those harmed in life. It's also my plea to men around the world to question what they've been taught about women."
This social awareness, though, is not new to her music—since beginning to write her own songs, Segarra has covered a range of topics, including post-hurricane New Orleans.
"I believe art is the
only antidote to the sickness of our culture," she says. "It is the
artist's duty, whether a poet, painter or musician, to heal the minds of
the public, for those who are working hard and not as privileged as I
am to travel the world and sing."
SEE IT: Hurray for the Riff Raff plays Aladdin Theater, 3017 SE Milwaukie Ave., with Clear Plastic Masks, on Saturday, April 19. 10 pm. $15. Under 21 permitted with legal guardian.

(Aug 17, 2012) On August 7, 2012, Luxembourg issued a decree amending its VAT rules for independent groups of persons. The amended rule, published in the official gazette (Journal Officiel du Grand-Duché de Luxembourg) on August 14, was adopted in response to a reasoned opinion from the European Commission. The opinion, sent to Luxembourg on January 26, 2012, contained a request for an amendment to the country's VAT rules for such groups. (René Offermanns, Luxembourg; European Union: Decree Amending VAT Rules for Independent Groups of Persons Published, IBFD TAX NEWS SERVICE (Aug. 15, 2012), online subscription database.)
The Luxembourg VAT regime had been seen as inconsistent with an EU Directive on the subject (Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006, on the Common System of Value Added Tax, 2006 O.J. (L347/1), available at EURLEX.) This Directive specifies that services provided by an independent group for its members are subject to VAT unless they are linked exclusively to non-taxable or otherwise exempt activities. (Offermanns, supra.)
Luxembourg had established a ceiling for VAT on taxable activities for such groups and thus did not conform to the Directive. The rules were contained in the in the Grand Ducal Decree of January 21, 2004, and Circular No. 7070 of January 29, 2004 (cited in Luxembourg Asked to Modify Its VAT Rules Applicable to Independent Groups of Persons, LOYENS & LOEFF NEWSFLASH (Jan. 30, 2012).)
The new rule, in force from the date of publication, eliminates the VAT exemption for all services related to taxable activities. (Offermanns, supra.)

Big Evoque? No, this is the new Range Rover Sport 2014. Despite Land Rover´s efforts to introduce it only at the New York auto show, the new Range Rover Sport was revealed sooner. With a new design, clearly inspired by the Evoque, the model will go on sale in Europe and the United States this year. It is built on an aluminum platform (same as Vogue), making it much lighter compared to the previous generation, it is also more agile and economical. More details will be released soon.

Featured 2Pac Albums
All Eyez On Me
All Eyez on Me is the Grammy-nominated fourth studio album by Tupac Shakur. The album was released on February 13, 1996 through Death Row Records. It was the last album released during 2Pac's lifetime, as he died exactly 7 months later on September 13, 1996. All Eyez on Me was released after Suge Knight, CEO of Death Row Records, bailed 2Pac out of jail in exchange for him signing to Death Row Records.

Makaveli - The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day TheoryThe Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory is the final album finished before 2Pac's untimely death and was also the first album to be released after his death. Tupac chose to release this album under the alias Makaveli, derived from the Italian political writer Niccolò Machiavelli whose books (including The Prince, and, The Art of War) Tupac had read whilst in prison. The album was completely finished and ready for release in an amazing seven days, written and recorded at the Can-Am Studios in…Read More +
Until The End Of Time
Until The End of Time was released on March 27, 2001. This album is the first release of two double album's which consisted of unreleased material and remixed songs from Tupac's "Makaveli" period (1995-1996) whilst he was signed to Death Row.

I've written in the past about my switch from Family Tree Maker on Windows under Parallels to RootsMagic on the Mac using CrossOver. I'm still happy I switched because I much prefer RootsMagic to FTM and things are faster running under CrossOver Mac rather than Parallels. There are some technical problems, but I can live with them.
One of the problems is that the windows still do not work right. If I open up the record for a person and then open up one of the data items such as a birth event, the person's record gets hidden behind the main RootsMagic screen. I have to show all of the application Windows in Expose to get the person's window back. I wrote to Codeweavers, the makers of CrossOver Mac about this. They said the issue is in the X11 window management that CrossOver uses. They are working on a new version that will use the Mac window management which will hopefully fix this problem. No release date, but I'm hoping it won't take too long.
The other issue is upgrades of CrossOver. I'm running CrossOver Office 10.2 but the current version is 11.0.3. I've tried the upgrade but there is a fatal flaw in RootsMagic 5 when running under 11.0.3. If I go to the Edit Source window for a fact and then view the media for it, I cannot close the edit source window after I have closed the media window. I end up having to go to the Mac command line to kill the RootsMagic processes. I wrote to Codeweavers support about this. They pointed out that RootsMagic 5 is unsupported, which I knew. Only RootsMagic 4 is supported by Codeweavers. This is a case where things change and there isn't much to be done about it. I'm not really missing anything by staying at CrossOver Office 10.2, but it would be nice to be at the current version.

Conveniently close to ICN, clean, not a great surrounding area. Inexpensive, Free Airport Shuttle, and WiFi. On par with Super 8 or Motel 6. Local Korean restaurants, a LotteMart and Dunkin Donuts nearby.
Checked into this hotel last minute as had an overnight wait while connecting flights. Very helpful staff and very clean room. Free wifi and shuttle service to the airport the next day.
Only downside was that the bathrooms needed a little updating and cleaning.
This was perfect for a few hours sleep and a rest,
Reception spoke very good English. Check-in was very quick. Rooms are small and Korean style (hard beds)...very flowery! Very clean. Coffee & toast downstairs for a couple thousand won. Water cooler on every floor. View of a wall. Airport shuttle very quick and efficient. Quick pick up from the train station as well. Kind of pricey..$75 even through Agoda.
Pros: clean, convenient location, pickup from airport, minimarts available. Cons: don't recommend for single women as there is a massage parlor around the block. Toilet valve leaked,made a sound, but I turned off the intake valve at midnight so I could sleep. Not a big problem, but you would think that the maid would have reported the problem.
Hint: upon...
As I was only staying in Seoul for two days I wanted a hotel close to the airport and the metro.
Sky hotel was the perfect location for both. They offered free shuttle service from the airport and
the metro was only two blocks away. The hotel was clean and comfortable and I would definitely
stay there again. There were...
We were in the shuttle for quite a long time, as the driver wanted to collect several passengers from here and there. We booked a royal suite which was big and nice, but not much amenities. You can buy toothbrush and toothpaste from the recieption desk for 1$, and also coffee and toast for breakfast is 1$. TV had lots...
Stay at this property during a 14-hour layover. Perfect, especially for getting an overnight's rest. Be sure to search the internet for good rates. Hotel offers airport shuttles. Some eateries and Starbucks located within walking distance. Heated floors and decently large rooms with microfridge.
Notes: Be sure to get your water from the water cooler from the hallway, located close...
The hotel locates in Incheon town, about 10 minutes by shuttle from the airport. They do provide free airport transfer so it's kind of convenient. The hotel room is old and very basic. It's kind of small for 2 or 3 guests staying together. However, it's clean and convenient for traveler who has to stay overnight in Incheon airport area...
We arrived at Incheon Airport at 1000pm. The hotel provided free shuttle service for pick up from airport. The room was presentable and clean. It is 10 mins walked from Onseo subway station. My two young liked the hotel very much.

Watt leads by four at Royal Melbourne
BY Bruce Young | Australian Mens Amateur Tour | 2013 Australian Master of the Amateurs | Day Three | 10 Jan 2013
Brady Watt is on track for a wire to wire victory at the Master of the Amateurs being played at Royal Melbourne's West Course layout.
Watt today added a third round of 68 in the 72 hole event to extend his two shot 36 hole lead to four over French Polynesia's Teremoana Beaucousin and Victorian Geoff Drakeford.
Queenslander Viraat Badhwar produced one of four rounds of 68 today to move into 4th position on his own.
Watt has been in devastating form in recent months with victories at the Keppera Bowl and Dunes Medal events and a runner-up finish at the West Australian Open. He is the only player to have recorded all three rounds in the 60's this week and he appears on track to add yet another significant title to his rapidly growing trophy list tomorrow.
Beaucousin won the Victorian Junior Amateur Championship twelve months ago and has recently signed to play for Kennesaw State University in Georgia.
The 2013 Australian Master of the Amateurs Green Jacket Champion will receive an exemption into the 2013 Amateur Championship UK, Porter Cup USA, The Players Amateur USA, The Dogwood Invitational USA, and the Canadian Mens Amateur Championship CAN.

George Clooney Has Been Granted Two New Protection Laws in Lake Como, Italy, Ahead of His Fall Marriage to Amal Alamuddin
It's good to have friends in high places! George Clooney has been granted two new protection laws in Lake Como, Italy, preventing fans and paparazzi from getting close to his residence ahead of his planned wedding to Amal Alamuddin.
PHOTOS: Clooney's ladies before Amal
Sources confirm to Us Weekly that the Monuments Men actor's friends at Laglio Council have just approved the laws and huge fines, designed to keep uninvited guests away from his idyllic lakeside mansion Villa Oleandra.
The laws, declared on Saturday, June 21, prevent anyone from stopping on both the road outside his house, and the water directly in front of his villa, 24-hours a day. The restrictions will remain in place until September 30.
PHOTOS: Exotic celebrity wedding destinations
Formerly confirmed bachelor Clooney, 53, became engaged to human rights attorney Alamuddin, 36, on April 22, and, as Us reported previously, are planning to tie the knot this fall. The couple had been considering both Lake Como and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, where Clooney also owns a villa, as venues.
Mayor of Laglio, Roberto Pozzi, told Us that an official request to hold the nuptials in Italy have not yet been lodged. "We have not received any formal requests yet," the Mayor said. "But we are ready for any requests."
But these two new laws will make planning such an inevitably star-studded event, much easier.
PHOTOS: Top secret celebrity weddings
"It is now completely forbidden to stop outside the entrance to Clooney's villa," the Mayor continued. "It's a question of traffic and security. It is very dangerous and it's also an issue of privacy."
On the lake side of the property, anyone sailing or swimming within 100 meters from Clooney's villa could be fined up to 500 euros ($680).
PHOTOS: Quickest celeb engagements
"We have never penalized anyone in the past," Pozzi said. "This type of action is designed to bring about a change in people's behavior and create a more peaceful environment. We have to guarantee privacy and security for George Clooney and his guests."
Clooney made the most of his new laws over the weekend, arranging for his future mother-in-law Baria Alamuddin to visit him and his fiancee and stay overnight at their Como pad, away from the prying eyes of the paparazzi.

Statewide Candidates Roll Out Campaign Ads
Texas Leaders Consider Freeing More PrisonersAUSTIN (AP) - Texas lawmakers are discussing whether releasing nonviolent convicts is a money-saving way to help deal with a projected $15 billion state budget shortfall. Senate Criminal Justice Committee Chairman John Whitmire of Houston says the state does not have the resources to continue business as usual in Texas. Whitmire said Tuesday that "everything is on the table for discussion this year." The Austin American-Statesman reports lawmakers are considering whether nonviolent foreign citizens who are up for parole and old, ill convicts might be considered for early released. Police, prosecutors and crime victims groups are urging caution in paroling any more convicts. House Corrections Committee chairman Jerry Madden of Richardson says whatever lawmakers decide, it should not compromise public safety. A 2009 legislative study urged that additional medical paroles be considered. (© Copyright 2011 The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.

AUSTIN (AP) — Candidates for Texas governor, lieutenant governor and comptroller rolled out campaign ads Monday on YouTube, introducing themselves to voters and laying out policy positions.
Democratic candidate for governor Wendy Davis posted her first campaign ad, while Republican Dan Patrick bought television time in his bid for lieutenant governor. Democrat Mike Collier posted the first ad in the state comptroller's race for the Democratic nomination.
Davis and Collier are the only Democrats to announce candidacies for statewide office so far. Patrick, a Houston senator, is one of three candidates running against incumbent Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst.
Davis' ad is a four-and-a-half-minute biographic piece that expands on the speech she gave last week in announcing her candidacy, emphasizing her belief in building consensus and rejecting partisanship.
"Listening, working together, finding solutions, that's what how we should be doing business in Texas," she said in the video, which also featured her daughter and supporters from across the state.
Patrick's ad calls for tougher enforcement of immigration laws and an end to in-state college tuition for teens who grew up in Texas after crossing the border illegally with their parents. The Patrick ad will appear on the Fox News Channel, his campaign said in a news release.
"I'll do what Washington won't to, I'll secure our border and end sanctuary cities," Patrick said.
Collier talks about his professional experience as an accountant based in Houston. The state comptroller is responsible for collecting state taxes and fees and distributing revenues to state agencies.
"If you want the government you deserve instead of the circus that been getting and a comptroller with the courage to tell you the truth … then I'll hope you join us," he said.
The party primary elections are set for March 4, with the general election on Nov. 4, 2014.

In early 2013, the Destination Wedding & Honeymoon Specialists Association (DWHSA) surveyed a sample group of more than 600 travel agents across North America who "self identified" as never having booked a destination wedding or honeymoon for their clients.
The primary reasons they gave for not selling these types of trips were "I have no idea where to get started in booking a trip like that." (73 percent) and "I'm afraid I'll mess something up that could ruin the couple's plans." (71 percent).
Based on those findings, DWHSA has said they will join forces in 2014 with AMResorts and Travel Impressions – two leading suppliers in the romance travel niche – to conduct a yearlong campaign to reach at least 1,000 U.S. and Canadian agents who're brand new to selling destination weddings, honeymoons, and other types of romantic getaways.
"To survive and thrive in today's super-competitive environment, agents must consider specializing – and, there's no niche that's more profitable and more fun than romance travel," said Lisa Sheldon, DWHSA's executive director and the owner of I Do Island Weddings in Janesville, Wis. "So, we're reaching out to as many agents as we can this year to give them the tools and the training to expand into this market."
DWHSA, AMResorts, and Travel Impressions will roll out this training blitz in several phases:
* From late March through early May, their trainers will conduct one-day "romance travel boot camps" in Atlanta, Houston, Baltimore, St. Louis, Seattle, and Toronto. These live events will offer hands-on instruction in a small-group setting on the basics of destination weddings and honeymoons, the latest romance travel trends, and practical marketing steps for new romance travel specialists. (See www.RomanceTravelBootCamps.com for complete details.)
"For agents attending the Atlanta and Houston boot camps, we have a special offer," Sheldon noted. "They will be given free admission to the Love Mexico Weddings evening trade show and gala dinner in each city, compliments of our friends at Love Mexico." (See www.LoveMexicoWeddings.com for more information.)
* This summer, DWHSA trainers will fan out across smaller U.S. and Canadian cities to offer two-hour lunchtime workshops introducing agents to selling romance travel.
* DWHSA will unveil a schedule of online workshops later this year to target agents who can't attend the live events.
"Our model with DWHSA is continuous networking and training – 24/7/365 access to other agents in this niche and ongoing training week after week," Sheldon said. "So, in 2014, we're looking for at least 1,000 agents who want to put the fun and the profits back into their travel businesses."

The progress in neutrino physics over the past ten years has been
tremendous: we have learned that neutrinos have mass and change flavor. I will pick out one of the threads of the story-- the measurement of flavor oscillation in neutrinos produced by cosmic ray showers in the atmosphere, and its confirmation in long distance beam experiments. I will present the history, the current state of knowledge, and how the next generation of high intensity beam experiments will address some of the remaining puzzles.

Depot party swings in Springfield
June 16, 2011
Springfield — Dozens of visitors stopped by the Pedal & Cup Bike Rental Sunday, June 12, joining owners Tim and Karen Schinke in celebrating the 100th anniversary of the railroad depot building that houses their business.
Welcoming them were historical performer Chris Brookes, musician Cripple Hand Pete, along with talented face painter Cuddles the Clown, artist Marksalot and balloon sculptor Billy Boy.
Sunday was sunny and pleasantly cool. About two dozen classic cars from the Burlington Classic Car Club and a Chris Craft wooden boat basked under the blue sky.
Celebrants went into the Pedal & Cup for sandwiches or pizza, or they sat outside and ate Neapolitan ice cream right out of the carton.
The celebration actually started Saturday, but cold and wet weather kept the activities inside the depot, Karen Schinke said.
Ice cream sales went to benefit the Springfield Union Cemetery, which recently added about four acres of land, said Tim Schinke, the cemetery sexton.
Brookes, who is a local historian, said 17 Civil War veterans are buried there.
One of them is Harold Olp of Lyons.
Olp was a battle-hardened veteran when he returned to Springfield in 1863, paroled from a Confederate prison camp after being captured at the battle of Iuka.
Olp served in Co. K of the 8th Wisconsin Infantry Regiment, one of the elite units of the Union Army of the Potomac, and a late addition to the legendary Iron Brigade.
Years after returning to Lyons, Olp donated a corner of his farm to become the Union Cemetery in Springfield.
He died Feb. 1, 1887, and is buried there.
In 1911, the new rail depot at Springfield was opened to replace one destroyed a year earlier by fire.
The Schinke family bought the depot in the 1950s, and moved it across Highway 12 to make it a part of the family lumber business.
The railroad is long gone, but the railroad right-of-way was converted to a 12-mile bike and hike trail running from Elkhorn to Burlington, that traverses Springfield and Lyons.
Six years ago, Karen and Tim Schinke opened the remodeled and now bright-red depot as the Pedal & Cup, a combination resting spot, bike rental, snack shop and tourist stop at the midway point of the White River Trail.
The floors, walls and woodworking are preserved from the shop's railroad depot days.
The stationmaster's desk is still in the building, just behind the counter.
And the remodeling isn't done, yet.
Karen Schinke said she hopes to convert a storage room to retail, or turn it into a meeting space.

ŌĆ£The bad news is that while drunk driving has decreased, drugged driving has increased.ŌĆØ
How dangerous is drugged driving? Very! It doesnŌĆÖt matter if it is legal or illegal substances, drugged driving is becoming an increasing problem. Over a five-year period there were 127,461 fatal crashes in the United States; at least 15.8% of them involved a drugged driver. Of course, the percentage is probably much higher but we donŌĆÖt test in one-third of the crashes.
The Institute of Behavior and Health estimates 580,000 injuries are directly attributable to drugged driving each year. The National Highway Traffic Safety AdministrationŌĆÖs Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS), a census of fatal motor vehicle traffic crashes, provides data on the presence of drugs among drivers. Of the 12,055 drivers with known test results in 2009, 33% were positive for drugs. Frightening. Even more scary is that according to the 2008 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, an estimated 10 million people aged 12 and older reported driving under the influence of illicit drugs during the year prior to being surveyed.ŌĆØ
(Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. 2008 National Survey on Drug Use and Health. Rockville, MD: Office of Applied Studies, 2009.)
We need to act now to stop this carnage on our highways!

Does this happen to all clients? What computer is referenced by GUID 971c5e0a-942b-496a-b9e9-72945c86d2d3?
Mike Clemson, Senior Systems Engineer, ASC
Intuitive Technology Group -- Symantec Platinum Partner
This exception could occur if "Maximum computers to manage per Task Server" number is exeeded (5000 by default). Please check this value under the Site Services -> Settings -> Task Service -> Task Service Settings. And check if the number of registered clients are exceeded to the corresponding task server.
Thank you,
Hi, to answer all the above:
No, it does not happen to all clients
In this instance it was referencing a pc somewhere in the network
I have not found an explaination for this yet
No, the task server max computers does not exceed 5000
No, I do not even have that many devices in this network
Symantec Technical Specialist
So this issue is still ongoing. I have a call open with Symantec Support. Apparently, according to the posts I have found about this, this was an issue before the SP release but that it should have been fixed with the updates which have been released. As soon as I have a resolution to this I will update this post.

Hillary Copsey: Social media groups bring people together to rekindle the past
Do you remember when Midway was a dirt road?
Do you remember Block's Department store in Vero Beach?
Do you remember the Village Green shopping center in Port St. Lucie?
Facebook groups about life as it used to be in communities around the country have been springing up lately, and several Treasure Coast communities have gotten in on the act. Groups such as "Growing up in Vero Beach," I remember Port St. Lucie when ...," and "I remember Fort Pierce when ..." are collecting Treasure Coast natives' memories and photos.
Ranging from just a few dozen members to nearly 5,000 people on the Fort Pierce page, these groups are an ever-changing, intensely personal history of our communities. Some are open to anyone; others require a group administrator to approve new members.
All of them are an interesting experiment, I think, in the power of social media to report on a community. The stories on these pages — whether they're just a 20-word post about a market that used to be on U.S. 1 or a running list of people who have passed away — are poignant.
My favorite photo on the Vero Beach page was from John's Island around the turn of the last century. A group of men in hats, women in white dresses and barefooted children pose in front of palm trees. A similar one on the Fort Pierce page, also predating World War I, shows women in white shirts and long dark skirts carrying parasols and standing on the roof of a boat. On deck, men stand with guns and, in one case, a broom.
Other pictures from Fort Pierce show a sixth grade class at White City Elementary in 1965, the first McDonald's that came to town and a menu offering a sirloin steak dinner for $2.09.
Many of the Port St. Lucie remembrances are about the town before there was really much in it. There also are memories of the Shell Bazaar and its giant conch shell — once the only real landmark on U.S. 1 between Stuart and Fort Pierce — and the Village Green shopping center, which was razed several years back to make way for City Center.
Traditional media like newspapers don't normally report memories like these, focused as we are on what's happening right now.
But clicking through those pages, I wondered if we should.
Send me your memories of the Treasure Coast by email or regular mail (Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers, P.O. Box 9009, Stuart, FL, 34995-9009).
Tell me about the restaurant everyone went to after high school football games. Tell me about the store where everyone shopped. Tell me about the neighbor everyone loved.
Memories like those are too good not to share.

query.php: get_queried_object() result cannot be assumed to be non-NULL
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
Description (last modified by SergeyBiryukov)
I'm dealing with a WPMUdev plugin called MarketPress. Its /store/products/ page is a special CPT catalog thing that seems to have wp_title() issues, so I dug into it.
Turns out that:
is_front_page() -> is_page() -> $page_obj = $this->get_queried_object() -> $page_obj == NULL
But is_page() (and other is_...()) go harrassing $page_obj assuming there's always something useful there. This creates a flood of "non-object access" notices.
I would expect something like this to make sense in these is_...() functions:
if (!is_null($page_obj)) return false;
Since WP_Query::get_queried_object() first sets its result as null and returning a value is actually conditional, I don't see a way around these checks. Enlighten me please if I'm wrong.
I've looked at #19035, #18614, #17662. All of them are situations where there's at least something there in $page_obj. None of them seem to discuss or patch NULL values.
I discovered this on 3.3.2, but todays trunk trunk/wp-includes/query.php@21248#L3340 has the same code.

Replying to ryan:
That patch adds a bunch of defensive checks, but we need to better understand why a template tag is true but its corresponding queried object is empty.
Good thing I did a search for is_page(), I was apparently about to file a duplicate of this same thing.
Here's the scenario that causes the trifecta:
NOTICE: wp-includes/query.php:3348 - Trying to get property of non-object NOTICE: wp-includes/query.php:3350 - Trying to get property of non-object NOTICE: wp-includes/query.php:3352 - Trying to get property of non-object
This e-commerce plugin uses virtual pagename's for rewriting. /store/products/ gets translated to pagename=product_list request:
$new_rules[$this->get_setting('slugs->store') . '/' . $this->get_setting('slugs->products') . '/?$'] = 'index.php?pagename=product_list';
Then it has a wp action, that checks for query_var == "product_list" and builds up a "real" query with a query_posts call.
Now Yoast's WP SEO plugin is actually the one causing these notices, because for some reason it does wp_reset_query() in its wp action $this->metadesc() handler. Why reset the query here, I do not know, I'm not familiar at all with the innards of this plugin. Then WP SEO hits the system with is_front_page() etc that passes through is_page() with $wp_the_query (i.e. the original "virtual" pagename) as its target.
So I am not sure how much understanding here is needed, but it seems real world is somehow coming up with these ways to do things that causes get_queried_object() to be null. It doesn't feel like what folks are doing is too much off The Right Way either. Or...?

I.D. Systems receives $14 million order from Avis Budget Group for broad deployment of its wireless vehicle management systems.
Technology will help enable "virtual rental transactions"—automated rentals and returns of Avis and Budget vehicles.
Fully integrates with Avis Budget's existing rental, reservations and fleet management systems.
Avis Budget invests $4.6 million to acquire approximately 9% equity stake and warrants in I.D. Systems.
Global deployment option enables Avis Budget to expand technology to worldwide fleet.
Parsippany and Woodcliff Lake, N.J., August 22, 2011—Avis Budget Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: CAR) and I.D. Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDSY) announced today that they have executed an agreement to deploy I.D. Systems' proprietary wireless vehicle management systems in Avis Budget's vehicle rental fleet. The agreement follows an extensive pilot program in which the technology was successfully deployed in both traditional airport locations and corporate campuses.
The first phase of expanded system deployment, which will put I.D. Systems' technology into more than 25,000 Avis Budget vehicles and facilities in portions of the United States and Canada, is valued at $14 million over five years. The exclusive agreement also provides Avis Budget an option to expand system deployment across its global fleet of vehicles which, if fully exercised, is valued at substantially more.
"This agreement is the culmination of a ten-year technology collaboration between I.D. Systems and Avis Budget," said Jeffrey Jagid, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of I.D. Systems. "We believe our wireless rental fleet management technology has the potential to revolutionize the car rental industry and are proud to be partnering with Avis Budget, a global leader in this industry."
I.D. Systems' wireless in-vehicle management system permits two-way data communications between a vehicle and various car rental operating systems. Combined with Avis Budget's existing technologies, I.D. Systems' services will enable Avis Budget to rent and check-in vehicles virtually, all with the use of a smartphone. In addition, the system has the potential to drive further productivity by automating the vehicle data collection process and streamlining billing.
"We are excited to be deploying I.D. Systems' wireless technology," said Ronald L. Nelson, Avis Budget Group Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We believe the expanded deployment of virtually enabled vehicles will enable us to drive incremental business with our established base of corporate customers and to place additional cars in local-market settings, driving revenue growth."/p>
In connection with the agreement, Avis Budget purchased 1,000,000 shares of I.D. Systems common stock at a price of $4.60 per share, based on the 20-day average share price as of August 22, 2011. In addition, Avis Budget received warrants to purchase up to 600,000 additional shares of I.D. Systems common stock at a price of $10.00 per share, with 100,000 warrants vesting at contract signing and 500,000 warrants vesting if and when Avis Budget exercises its option to substantially expand system deployment. The agreement also provides Avis Budget with a limited term of exclusivity for the use of I.D. Systems' technology in the car and truck rental industry, with an extended term granted automatically upon Avis Budget's exercise of such option.

City officials should know by the end of next month what should be done with the deteriorating water tank at Thompson Park.
By then, consultants Conestoga-Rovers & Associates, Syracuse, should have some answers once they complete a study on how to handle the situation, Water Superintendent Michael J. Sligar said Wednesday.
So far, the consultants have projected the repairs might drain the city of $915,000 after looking at the 34-year-old tank initially in September. The consultants may come back with a recommendation to install a glass interior, replace the 250,000-gallon tank altogether or even move it to another location, Mr. Sligar said.
Its just a thought, he said, adding that he mentioned it to the Watertown City Council on Monday night just to let council members know that moving it might be an option.
It may be a good idea to relocate it since it could improve water service in the town of Watertown, he said, declining to elaborate.
The tank was installed at Thompson Park the highest point in the city in 1978 to provide adequate water pressure to the neighborhood surrounding Thompson Park, to properties along Gotham Street and for some underground city tanks in the park, he said.
The city recently learned that corrosion in the tank has increased so much since an inspection in 2000 that the entire protective interior must be replaced, according to a Nov. 13 memo by Mr. Sligar. Despite updated quotes being sought, nothing was ever done, Mr. Sligar wrote after looking in subsequent files.
In September, an inspection by CRA projected all of the repairs would cost $915,000. The city has budgeted $500,000 for the tanks rehabilitation.

Globe-trotting group performing March 1, 2 in Vero Beach
INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — For Vero Beach resident Mary Beth Cunningham, inviting globe-trotting strangers to live with her in her home for a week is nothing new.
In fact, it's tradition for her and her family.
"It's just how it was," said Cunningham, recalling the days her late father, Jim McDonald, would do the same. "It's pretty neat."
Following in her father's footsteps, for the second year since 2011, Cunningham opened her front door Monday, welcoming performers of the global education and service program, Up with People, a nonprofit organization focused on bringing the world together through service and music.
"I'm so happy to be able to have them come back," said Cunningham, a trustee of the F. James McDonald Foundation, that sponsors the group to continue the legacy of McDonald's support for the organization during the 1970s throughout the 1990s.
For the past week, Cunningham's house has been home to a small group of the nearly 120 young adults (ages 17 to 29) who've traveled to the Treasure Coast from 20 different countries, such as Sweden, China and Mexico, not only to dance and sing for locals, but help spread hope and change throughout the area.
The group is set to take their talents to the stage Friday and Saturday for their show, Voices, an interactive international dance and music production featuring popular medleys from the '60s, '70s and '80s.
The group is doing service projects at places such as The Dasie Hope Center, The Gifford Youth Activity Center and Shining Light Garden.
"Having them here can have a significant impact (on the community)," Cunningham said. "It makes people want to get involved and learn."
By the end of the week, Up with People performer and representative Ashley Wright hopes they've helped Treasure Coast residents become more aware of needs they could be serving in their own backyard.
"Most importantly what we really try to do with our host families and audiences is try to encourage people to reach out in their own community and to help out while they can — to be that example."
