If you ever wanted to learn to speak a new language, now is the time! The Wauconda Area Library is happy to announce the addition of the Mango language-learning system to our collection of online resources.
Mango offers a fun, fast, effective, and convenient solution to our community's growing language learning needs. Mango teaches conversational foreign language skills for English speakers AND English as a Second Language (ESL) for Spanish and Polish speakers. Mango is so easy to use — you'll see incredible results after just one lesson!
Mango uses real-life situations and actual conversations to more effectively teach a new language. You'll not only learn the individual words and phrases, you'll know how they're used in practical situations and conversations. You'll learn more than grammar, vocabulary, and conjugation — you'll learn how to communicate.
Mango currently offers 12 complete courses and 36 basic courses (covering phrases common for travelers) — with many more on the way.
This new service is funded by a grant intended to help increase literacy, promote library services to adult immigrants and other English language learners, and improve communication throughout the community. The grant program, "The American Dream Starts @ Your Library," is administered by the American Library Association and funded by the Dollar General Literacy Foundation.
Registration for all other summer programs begins Saturday, May 22 for Wauconda area library district residents.
Out-of-district registration begins on Saturday, May 29.
Registration is required for all programs except for those designated as drop-in programs. Call the library at 847-526-6225 or register online.

Roy Orbison
Although he shared the same rockabilly roots as Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, and Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison went on to pioneer an entirely different brand of country/pop-based rock & roll in the early '60s. What he lacked in charisma and photogenic looks, Orbison made up for in spades with his quavering operatic voice and melodramatic narratives of unrequited love and yearning. In the process, he ...more

I was just wondering how many of you have tried old grand dad 114 and what your thoughts were. It's barrel proof, and inexpensive (for a barrel proof bourbon) so i wanted to give it a try. Also, i am planning on pickingup a bottle of evan williams single barrel. I love the regular black label and it's an incredible value for the quality your getting. Plus the single barrel is a TRUE single barrel, and i've heard good things. Just looking for some feedback on both ofthem. Thanks

George Zimmerman Verdictby Free Britney at . Updated at . Comments
Well seriously instead of this being a race issue you should all look at the facts, white, yellow brown, black or red in our worlds they are all a nice kid a gentle soul, he went to church, what we leave out is church 10 years ago ,hanging with a bad crowd, made some poor choices and then we have people (judges) afraid to call it because of a race riot, all of us smarten up, the guy was aquitted and if it was the other way around and he Traymor was aquitted all would be well. So people want equality and through the justice system it happened and now as "USUAL" there are a percentage yelling foul. Get over it if equality is what you want then let the cards lay. believe me there are a lot of brown, yellow, red and believe it or not white people getting charged for this every day, and I hope your judicial process works for all, just not one faction of enraged people. You want it deal with it.
We as a group in the most powerful country in the world are still not united! This will always be about race. This verdict was wrong as Hell! I'm pissed off about it!.white people have more privileges than black people will ever have.I don't care how rich no black man or black woman is.we are still oppressed in this world.the INTENT of this whole situation was wrong! Being BLACK in a neighborhood were WHITE people don't think we can afford to live! wearing a HOODIE! George zimmerman was wrong from start to finish and he do need to watch his back and continue to keep his gun at his side. He can't kill every black kid in HIS NEIGHBORHOOD.I'm going to pray for myself and my children,I'm gonna ask god to help me forgive zimmerman Im not holding a grudge that will kill me.its one thing I do know is that GOD works in mysterious ways he heals all wounds within time. That's what I will hold onto.
Asians floated in boats floating across the Pacific in the 1970's after the Vietnam war. They came to this country, saved their money, opened up business's and today they prosper. Illegals swim across the boarder, work for little, save their money, send money home, live 15 to a house and somehow they make it with much disruption. Me- a white, I can tell you this. You are who you appear to be. If you appear to be a white woman with tattoos down both arms and a piercing in your nose then you are a person I don't want to be around because you have no respect for your body and frankly I think it's nasty as hell. You are who you present yourself to be. If you are a person who drops the race card then I no longer want to hear anything you say because I think that every time you don't get your way you will do it! Is that the truth? Of course it is because that's how I perceive the truth to be. Your leaders are Quantrel X ( or what ever his name is) who said, white babies should die! Al Sharpton tried to frame a prosecutor in NYC with Tawana Brawley. How can i see any creditabilty in your cause with people like that leading you. How can I possibly give you the benifit of the doubt. Your people are so busy saying you don't give a damn about whites but you see to constantly look for their approval. Why is it that blacks struggle? Why is it that when whites think about Blacks they think about violence? Why is it that we don't trust you? There has to be a legitimate reason for all this. Your people make it easy to dislike. It was a tragedy, it was not called for and it was bound to happen. That spent mean that it was a crime. Your people are killing each other daily and you stop and come together so you can slaughter one white man- ZIMMERMAN! Do you know how racist that seems. Your race has problems and their is no joy in saying that. It's true. You have to ask- why is this happening to yourself. Is it a conspiracy?
No RESPONSE to what could of been LIFE. Well, I suppose he thought he BEAT THE SYSTEM, and is laughing inside, but didn't want to LAUGH in court.

As a boy growing up on the east side of Oshkosh in the '50's, I can remember the fishing shanties, and docks that dotted both sides of the river.
The attack on those shanties, and their owners by the city of Oshkosh, has the number down to just a handful remaining. Those shanties, fish shacks, boathouses, whatever you want to call them, are just as much historical landmarks as an old brick building downtown.
I applaud the owners, for standing their ground, and fighting the removal, of their historical, generations old shanties.
The city should take the complete opposite approach, and work with the owners to preserve them. I am sure anyone using the proposed trail, would find the shanties and their history fascinating, to see, and read about, on the plaques the city could install along the trail.
The history of the Oshkosh is rich with stories, and pictures of factories, river boats, business, docks and shanties that lined both sides of the river. The city dropped the ball on preserving any of them. Let's not lose the few that actually remain.
To remove those shanties, is not progress, it is a step backward.

Marco Ehrentreich wrote:Well, since you are really experiencing incompatibility issues during the migration process it may make sense to use two Tomcat versions meanwhile.
Basically you have to take care that each Tomcat uses a few ports (depending on the configuration). So you have to deal with conflicting ports, i.e. choose different one for each Tomcat instance, if you plan to run Tomcat on the same machine.
If you have a look at the Tomcat startup script in $TOMCAT_HOME/bin/catalina.sh you will quickly see that Tomcat recognizes quite some environment variables. So usually it should be enough to point JAVA_HOME and JRE_HOME to right JDK location in your init script or before you startup Tomcat. Depending on your OS and/or Linux distribution the startup and initialization process might work slightly different but the basics should be as described.
I hope this helps to solve your problem!
Additional note: According to the Tomcat documentation Tomcat 6 should be able to run with Java 5 and 6! So at least you don't have to deal with different Tomcat versions to use Java 5 and Java 6.

Businesses are looking for a more flexible IT framework that can adapt to today's rapidly changing and global environment. Business teams striving to move quickly into new markets and launch new products and services are demanding more from IT organizations that have traditionally been focused on avoiding downtime, ensuring security and compliance and holding down costs. Cloud computing offers compelling benefits for IT and the business to gain on-demand access to IT resources for new application development, as well as for running existing applications. VMware's approach starts inside your data center and extends out to support all applications - both those 'born in the cloud' as well as existing ones - with VMware vCloud® Hybrid Service™, a secure, dedicated infrastructure-as-a-service cloud, owned and operated by VMware. vCloud Hybrid Service is built on the trusted foundation of VMware vSphere®, enabling you to seamlessly extend your data center to the cloud leveraging the same infrastructure, network, management and skills you already use with your internal VMware infrastructure. By extending the same platform and operations model you use in your onsite data center to the cloud, you can deploy and run your applications onsite, offsite or both - without compromise and with less risk.

The U.S. Senate proposed a deal on Wednesday (Oct. 16) to end a political stalemate that is going into its third week. The bipartisan deal, constructed by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), is the last possible legislative solution to keep the United States from going into default before the U.S. Treasury runs out of money to pay government bills on Thursday.
But even if Speaker John Boehner can pass a bill through the House to halt a default, save the country's AAA credit rating, and fund government programs in time to reach Obama's desk before the Thursday deadline, public polls indicate that the perception of Republicans has soured drastically since the government shutdown, and those effects may having lasting consequences.
"Stop the GOP madness," and "Do your job," shouted a group of protestors as they marched to the door of Republican Congressman Chris Gibson's Kinderhook office on Tuesday (Oct. 15). The group of concerned citizens, MoveOn.org members, Citizen Action of NY organizers, and others then walked inside the office to rip up an oversized check in the amount of $174,000 that represented Gibson's congressional yearly salary.
"I think there's real resolution in the country to stop these guys in Washington that have really run amok and basically are a bunch of petty tyrants holding us all hostage," said Betty Head, a MoveOn.org organizer from Albany. "They're heady with their power and they really have to be stopped. We put them there to do a job and they are not doing their job, and we really have to hold their feet to the fire and hold them accountable in November."
"The GOP, you and your ilk are domestic terrorists, you're going to bring the economy of our nation to a crashing halt," said rally organizer Susan Weber. "You are holding America hostage, you terrorists."
"They are failing us," said Landra Haber of Chatham. "They need to stop this shutdown. Chris Gibson can do it, but maybe he's worried about a primary. I think he needs to be worried about us."
Haber said that she is worried about the possibility of her social security benefits being affected and that she has a son who depends on veteran's benefits. "My son is in college on the GI bill. If it goes on any longer he won't have his living stipend, and if it goes on any longer than that, he doesn't know what will happen next semester. He served nine years in the marines, I think he deserves better than that."
Gibson serves the 19th Congressional District of New York state, and served the 20th District prior to redistricting. Counties in the district include: Columbia, Delaware, Dutchess, Ulster, Sullivan, Greene, Rensselaer, Broome, Oswego, Schoharie, and Montgomery. The Kinderhook office is one of six in the large district, although not all of them are currently open.
"Three of our six offices are closed, and half of our district staff is furloughed currently," Steve Bulger, Gibson's district director, said to a protestor who inquired as to when her written complaint would be addressed.
"We have thousands of them, we answer them we can," Bulger continued. "Right now we're shorthanded. We have thousands of people e-mailing us, and calling us, so we're behind on everything."
Knowing that even Gibson's district offices had been affected by the shutdown didn't necessarily console those who were there to express their frustration.
"Right here in front of you is someone [the government shutdown] affects," said Spee Braun, a consultant for the organization Save the Children, "but it's really about that teeny percentage of the federal government that goes to international relief and development. Right now I'm working on a project to reduce malnutrition and improve the food security for millions of people around the world and many countries."
She said that the federal offices that the organization does most of its work through have been shut down. "We needed to get approval for one of the things we're doing internationally, and they can't answer their e-mail, they are forbidden from doing any work until the government shutdown is over."
She also spoke of her support for the Affordable Care Act, which is at the core of the recent political battle in Washington. "I've been paying $16,000 to $20,000 a year for health care for my family, I am so thrilled with Obama Care and we can not let it get creamed."
"The Affordable Care Act is law, it passed the House, it passed the Senate already," said Kat Fisher, the Hudson Valley organizer for Citizen Action of NY. "Now that it's in place they're trying to repeal it endlessly. We all have people in our lives and our families who need affordable health care and that's what this is about." She also urged the crowd to research Sean Eldridge, Gibson's potential Democratic opponent in the 2014 election.
She said that had met him and found him to be likeable, but added, "Sean Eldridge is a nice guy but he needs to know that we're going to hold him accountable and hold his feet to the fire too."
In a phone interview, Eldridge responded to concerns that he would be able to do the job if elected. "I would point to my record," he said and noted his work as a founder of Hudson River Ventures, an investment fund for small business, which he said had created "dozens of jobs." He also pointed to his work with the Freedom to Marry campaign and with Planned Parenthood.
Eldridge also promised that his campaign will not be "accepting a single penny of corporate Super PAC money."
"I've been very disappointed that Congressman Gibson has joined with John Boehner in voting for the government shutdown," he said. "I'm disappointed that Gibson has sided with Boehner and his fellow Republicans instead of with middle-class families." He referenced a recent study that reported that since 2010, the United State had lost "more than two million jobs because of dysfunction in Washington." He added that "political brinkmanship" had to be "put to an end" and that "we need new leadership in Washington."
Gibson's camp did not respond to requests for comment.

I am writing to let you know just how thrilled I am with the honesty and transparency your administration has displayed since assuming office in 2011. You have truly "reinvented" the concept of government openness and accountability in Michigan!
I especially want to mention the N.E.R.D. Fund. As you know, it contained almost $1.7 million supplied by, I'm assuming, civic minded, but bashful citizens who were simply looking to lend a helping hand.
They were so thoughtful they even paid the salary of your top aide, Rich Baird. And, being the unassuming, but anonymous citizens they were, I'm sure they didn't expect anything in return. In fact, that's just what I was thinking when you signed the "Right to Work" bill into law.
Then there is the "Skunk Works" education project. As a public school teacher I'm very pleased that no educational professionals were included in the work group. Hey, we're just too busy teaching kids to help come up with ideas for replacing ourselves with computers.
I'm glad you've finally cracked the case of why the state pension fund always seems to run short. You weren't paying the guys in charge enough! Those 80 percent and 90 percent raises should really raise the level of innovation and reinvention in the Office of Treasury! That makes me feel much better about having my future pension benefits cut. And to think, all these years I thought it was because Gov. Engler diverted pension money to tax cuts for the rich. Sorry about that "Big John," I owe you one!
I understand that you own a vacation home just minutes away from where I live. You've probably not spent much time there lately. However, I have a feeling that after next November, we'll be seeing you in the area often.

Josh Foster
A Georgia man accused of dumping Marcellus Shale gas industry sludge onto state game land in Bradford County waived a preliminary hearing Tuesday in District Court.
Josh Foster, 27, of Temple, Ga., is charged with third-degree criminal mischief, a felony, and unlawful disposal of solid waste and scattering rubbish in the Dec. 1 dumping on Pennsylvania Game Land 219.
The case will now go to Bradford County Court. No date is set for Foster's next appearance.
Foster, who was sent to Bradford County Correctional Facility after his arrest, was released Dec. 15 after posting $100,000 bail.
Foster admitted dumping the sludge on Regan Hill Road on Pennsylvania Game Land 219, Trooper John Kern, of the state police in Towanda, said in a criminal complaint on file in District Court.
Although the sludge came from the nearby Strope gas well, which is run by Talisman Energy, Foster is not a Talisman employee, the company said.
The state Department of Environmental Protection identified the sludge as used drilling mud and rock cuttings, said Dan Spadoni, a department spokesman.
Drilling mud is a mineral oil-based fluid used during the drilling process.
Ordinarily, the material is supposed to be treated on-site, including by mixing it with dirt, and then taken to a landfill.
The sludge was extracted from the Strope well site, but it was not treated before being dumped, the company said.
On Dec. 16, the DEP sent a notice of violation to a West Virginia-based trucking company, Spadoni said, but he was not clear on the exact link between the trucking company and the spill.
There was no penalty associated with the letter, but the department is reviewing other possible actions it can take, he said.
The state game lands have been cleaned up properly, Spadoni said. The sludge and contaminated soil were dug up.
"That material either has been or will be disposed of in a landfill in New York state," he said.

POPLAR GROVE — North Boone School District is drafting plans to replace its 1950s-era football stadium and improve track and soccer facilities that don't meet the standard required to host competitions.
POPLAR GROVE — North Boone School District is drafting plans to replace its 1950s-era football stadium and improve track and soccer facilities that don't meet the standard required to host competitions.
District leaders would likely tap private donors to pay for the project.
The existing four-lane track and smaller-than-regulation soccer field require workers to drag portable bleachers onto an adjacent field to accommodate spectators. District leaders say better athletic facilities would draw more spectators, thereby increasing ticket revenue, and reduce transportation costs by allowing North Boone athletes to compete on their home turf.
The district has established neither a budget nor a timetable for the endeavor. It's unlikely, however, that voters will be asked to foot the bill after Boone County voters on Nov. 6 rejected a proposed county school facility tax that would have increased the countywide sales tax to pay for school capital projects.
"I don't know how likely it is that we would go to voters for a bond referendum. I don't think the climate is appropriate and I don't think the voters would approve that," School Board Treasurer Laura Zwart said.
Dale Purvis, assistant principal and athletic director at North Boone High School, said a 12-member stadium committee made up of administrators, coaches, residents and school board members envisions a new 2,000-seat stadium for football, soccer and track just northeast of the existing stadium.
The district may be stuck using the 1950s facility until the economy turns around, however. Drafting a plan now to replace the stadium allows the district to approach donors and execute the plan as soon as North Boone is in a financial position to do so, administrators say. The district approved a $480,000 deficit budget in September and expects to receive less state aid next year.
"We have to have a plan to move forward for a facility that we are desperately in need of," Purvis said.

By Mary Karugaba
The Auditor General has raised a red flag over the procurement and construction of the Cancer Ward, questioning the suspected inflated costs of sh2.1b.
A report to Parliament on the audited financial statement of the Uganda Cancer Institute, the Auditor General, John Muwanga, noted that in 2011, the Institute contracted Ambitious Construction Company to construct a 5-level Cancer Ward at the initial sum of sh5.7b but a review of the contract documents indicate that the amount was revised to sh7.9b without necessary approval.
Procumbent regulations provide that a contract amendment shall not be issued to the provider prior to obtaining approval from the contracts committee or from any other concerned bodies including the Solicitor General.
The auditors further argued that the rules stipulate that no individual contract amendment shall increase the total contract price by more than 15% of the original contract price without the approval of the procurement body, the Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets (PPDA).
"When the contracts documents were reviewed, it was discovered that the works were varied by sh2.1b representing 38% of the original contract price without necessary approval. The variation was therefore done in total disregard of the PPDA regulations.
The auditors further noted that despite the revised budget, seven months after the due completion date, works were still uncompleted by the time of audit in January 2012.
"Despite the apparent delays, there was no evidence that management had followed this matter with the contractor, including application of liquidated damages as provide for under the contract," he said.
Cancer Institute Director Dr. Jackson Orem although did not explain why he did follow procurement guidelines, he explained that the variance was as a result of change of the original construction site by the ministry of health to a new one after the contract had been signed and the site handed over to the contractor.
He further said, the contractor was asked to halt the work until an agreement was reached with Mulago Hospital which decided to allocate a new piece of land for the project.
"The new site was then evacuated and additional works were deemed necessary since a soil test found the new site soils weaker. This addition however, despite the cost, increased the range of services in the building as a mortuary, nuclear medicine and X-ray facilities were designed to utilize this additional space that was not part of the original plan," he explained.
Orem said the circumstances at the time could not enable the institute approve the variation since it had no board. "A long the way, we got a board as an autonomous institution and the process regularized," he said.
He attributed the delay to change of site especially consultations. However, the building was completed and has been handed over, he said.
Meanwhile while appearing before the Public Accounts Committee yesterday, Dr. Orem was grilled for diverting funds meant to fund major institute activities to other areas such as salaries, laundry and food.
During the meeting, MPs discovered that the Institute diverted over sh600m without authority, suffocating major activities such as the purchase of Echo and ECG equipment used in cancer treatment and outreach centers for cancer sensitization. The equipment cost sh92m.
MPs Kassiano Wadri, Alex Byarugaba and Jack Wamanga complained that although parliament has been advocating for the Institute's increased budget, the money has not been used for major activities such as purchase of vital machines.
"I am extremely disappointed that rather than spending the little you have on major activities, if you diverted it to other use even without permission from Finance. When I look through your books of accounts, issues of financial management seems to be too heavy for you. We don't feel comfortable with the way you are handling money issues," Kassiano said.
Orem said, in some cases permission was rejected but he said he had put most of the finances to proper use.

Khoza drops Sascoc bidComment on this story
Johannesburg – Irvin Khoza will no longer be opposing incumbent Gideon Sam for the seat of Sascoc president, he said on Tuesday.
"I have applied my mind on the implication of my standing for Sascoc presidency and all other nominations," Khoza said in a statement.
"My thinking included the encouraging results from the London Olympics."
Khoza believed Sam and his executive had created a base, on which they should be supported.
"My experience is that it takes more than one term to stabilise an organisation into sustainable, winning ways."
The SA Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee revealed in October that the National Soccer League (NSL) chairman would contest Sam's position, and/or that of vice-president, at its quadrennial elections at Olympic House in Johannesburg on November 24.
At the time, Khoza said he had accepted the nominations in time to make the closing date, with an understanding with those who nominated him that he was keeping his options open.
He said he would use the time between then and the actual elections to apply his mind to the implications of his running.
After announcing his withdrawal from the race, Khoza, who was last week re-elected unopposed as NSL chief, said he would now put his weight behind Sam and his executive.
"I am therefore throwing my lot behind Mr Sam and his executive. I wish them luck over and above the hard work and dedication I know it takes to succeed," he said.
Sam, a former president of Swimming SA and Springbok team manager, has been president of the Olympic body since 2008, when he replaced former Sascoc chief Moss Mashishi. – Sapa

lllinois GOP Chairman Pat Brady's endorsement of a bill to legalize same-sex marriage in the state has gotten slammed by other party leaders, with some even calling for his resignation.
"I can only express my disappointment in the way this has come about and the manner in which the Republican platform of Illinois has been completely disregarded," said committeeman Gene Dawson, as he read from the resignation request he emailed to Brady, reported WBEZ Chicago Public Media.
"Pat Brady is a total disgrace," said Bobbie Peterson, a Republican state central committeewoman told WBEZ. "What's coming out of his mouth is not what the Illinois Republican party is about."
Brady said he did not consult with other leaders before he decided to speak out for a pending bill to legalize same-sex marriage. He is standing firm in his position.
"If people want to throw me out because I took a stand on an issue of discrimination [as] the chairman of the Republican Party, the party founded by Abraham Lincoln, then that's - " that's up to them and they're free to do it," Brady said. "But I'm not backing down."
The controversy comes at a critical juncture for the Illinois GOP, having lost the majority in the sate's congressional delegation in the last election. Democrats won supermajorities in both chambers of the General Assembly.
The timing is partly why Brady said he chose to speak up. "We need to change the brand or the image of the party of this group of angry, old white guys," Brady said. "And that's what we look like right now."

Laura Eldridge is coming home. When the Knoxville soccer community last saw her in 2005, she had just won a state championship with the Impact, one of FC Alliance's root clubs. The All-State forward from West High School went on to star at High Point University in North Carolina, earning All-Big South honors as a senior after scoring 18 career goals and starting an amazing 85 games in her collegiate career. Armed with a degree in sports management, Eldridge will turn her attention to her roots. She is the new agility trainer for all U9-U12 teams in the club.
It is a step forward for Tennessee's largest soccer club. Eldridge brings a soccer specific curriculum to the table, which will incorporate skills training and soccer balls into the agility sessions. Being able to draw from her vast playing experience is a huge key, as players will learn how to directly incorporate what they learn into games.
"This is great for the younger age groups," commented Darrick Lubell, director of the U9-U10 program. "The kids will find this enjoyable because agility training will still be soccer."
Other directors agree.
"Having a soccer person in this role helps a lot," added Shane Moore, another FC Alliance director. "Laura knows the game very well and will be able to continually tweak her curriculum to meet the needs of our players."

"It's not sanitized, it's not romanticized," says Boxer of the world Goodis depicted. "This is the bleak utter truth about life, or the life that Goodis perceived, the life that [French writer Albert] Camus wrote about. Just that stark black-and-white reality, that life sucks. You go to bed, you wake up, life continues to suck. People don't really complain about it, they're just, that's their lives."
This was the raw, exposed nerve Goodis picked at so convincingly. This is what his characters wrestled with, the dread they carried on work-worn backs.
There was Edward Webster Lynn, Eddie for short, the once famous concert pianist at the heart of Goodis' Down There (1956), who used to play to adoring crowds at Carnegie Hall but, wrecked by his wife's suicide, gathered up the battered pieces of his psyche and ended up playing for $30 a week in a Port Richmond dive bar. His next love would die too, shot in cold blood right in front of him.
There was Cassidy, the beaten-down man at the center of 1951's million-copy bestseller Cassidy's Girl , a once great pilot who now drove a bus. He was torn between two women: "Mildred, the wife who kept him chained with ties of fear and jealousy and paralyzing sexual need" and "Doris, a frail angel with a 100-proof halo and a bottle instead of a harp," as Goodis describes each in his typically unique style.
There was William Kerrigan, the broad-shouldered Philadelphia dockworker living a "hellhole existence" after his sister's suicide in the stark tale of desire and revenge Moon in the Gutter (1953).
These men lived lives Goodis wasn't all that familiar with.
"I do not hold to the premise that a writer must live his own story," Goodis wrote in an author bio accompanying his short story "Caravan to Tarim" in an October '46 issue of Collier's Weekly . "If I did, I would be writing about a fourth-rate football player, a frustrated racing driver, an unsuccessful landscape gardener and an unhappy automobile mechanic."
Goodis was born in the relatively comfortable middle-class Logan and lived for quite some time at East Oak Lane. He was student body president who ran track and captained the swim team.
He majored in journalism at Temple, graduating in 1938. He wrote ad copy for fairly good dough in Philadelphia, and moved on to write serial pulp in New York, where he'd churn out, he once estimated, 10,000 words a day published under various pseudonyms. One of his books, Dark Passage , was serialized in his hometown Saturday Evening Post. With it, a job offer in Hollywood, where he was hired by Warner Brothers to write scripts, the first an adaptation of Passage . He was being paid $1,000 a week, a king's ransom back then, and hanging with Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Becall, who both starred in Passage . He's described as the life of the party, a joking prankster never without a smile and a quip by many of his friends and family in the rich, info-packed documentary David Goodis … To A Pulp.
Still, there was something off about him, something that no doubt made him a keen observer of outsiders and drifters. He'd stick the red cellophane of a pack of Lucky Strikes up his nose and fain a nosebleed in front of unsuspecting waiters at restaurants in Hollywood. He'd go out into the L.A. night dressed in a borrowed bathrobe, pretending to be an exiled Russian prince. He'd pretend to get his foot stuck in trolley tracks as a car approached to win the attention of ladies on the street. In Philly, friends laughed. In L.A., they thought him strange.
In To A Pulp friends describe coming out to visit him in Hollywood, they'd demand to be taken to the set, which he did begrudgingly. They wanted a slice of L.A. nightlife, wanted to see the glitz and the glam. He wasn't interested. One time, though, he relented … and took them to a dance thrown by a waiters' union.
It's widely speculated that Goodis loved black women. Specifically, "healthy" black women, a bit of meat on the bones. "Healthy" black women who lived in sections of Los Angeles and Philadelphia where Goodis, a Jew born to Russian immigrants, stood out like, well, a Jew born to Russian immigrants. Sometimes he'd pay these women to verbally and physically abuse him. Other times he had to fight men in the neighborhood to get to them, both a small price to pay to satisfy his lust.
Goodis kept this from his friends. He kept it from everyone. He had to. It was the '40s, '50s and '60s when such a thing would earn more than a passing glance of disapproval.
He kept a marriage from them too, from his time in Los Angeles. Records show he was married to an Elaine Astor, from 1943–1947. Astor's son, Larry Withers, discovered the marriage certificate and divorce decree among her belongings after her death in the mid-'80s. The questions he had about the mother it turns out he never knew drove him to research and create David Goodis … To A Pulp, in part relearning who his mother was through the eyes of a writer who didn't paint too nice a picture of her. (It's theorized that many of the manipulative women in Goodis' prose are modeled after Astor, his "sick personal muse," as Withers calls her in his doc.)
"There were different aspects to my mom," says Withers from his home in Elkins Park. "There were times when she could be just a regular, loving mom, and there were times where she could be a kind of a demon, shoot you the fish eye and scare you half out of your wits. At times I could see her in several [of Goodis'] books, especially Behold This Woman, which was written a few years after their divorce."
Says Withers of his mother's first husband: "He's a man of a lot of compartments, a hidden man," but also a "decent person. I think he had a lot of conflicts, a lot of vices and a lot of desires, none of which he could handle very well.
"He had a lot of dark, locked rooms he wouldn't let any of his friends in," adds Withers, who spoke with many of Goodis' friends and family for To A Pulp. "They all had notions and stories to tell, but no one actually followed him or had been with him to confirm it. It was a lot of speculation."
The Inquirer's David Hiltbrand (a mystery novelist himself) stopped by GoodisCon in '07 to file a report, and came away with a telling quote from Goodis' cousin Herbert Gross, who said of his long-dead kin, "I knew him very well. And I say that with a question mark. I don't know that anybody knew him very well."
Another secret: Goodis' five-year relationship with prominent black sculptor Selma Burke. Burke studied privately under Henri Matisse, and is responsible for the portrait of Franklin D. Roosevelt on the dime in your pocket.
To biographer Philippe Garnier, Burke recalled Goodis' "sensitive nature," and "tormented and creative spirit, which he always sought to hide … in order to protect himself."
"THE SATURDAY EVENING POST was not a pulp magazine. Despite the deep desire of hipsters to make it so, pulp doesn't mean "trashy" or "transgressive," but instead it refers to a kind of fiction magazine that was printed on rough pulp paper. And while it tended toward adventure fiction, it was never restricted to that.
Would that Carlin Romano had only said foolish things about neo-nor over the years, but we haven't been so fortunate."
"This article is perhaps the best introductory essay to Goodis and his work. It covers all of the major themes and events in Goodis' work and life, and has many fine insights into a very complex person--and seeker after authenticity in his society."
"Small correction to the article: I didn't ask to see David Goodis for a "story" but to negotiate the film rights to one of his novels. Also, Goodis' work was part of a chapter of my Ph.D. dissertation, and I wanted to include whatever he cared to say."
4/20, Dionne Warwick, David Goodis and more to do & see this week in Philly.

Beaded Mandala Project
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Create a colorful mandala pattern from The Bead Studio using seed beads and craft wire.
- size 11/0 seed beads
- size 6/0 seed beads (e-beads)
- 16-18, 4mm beads (crystal)
- 8-9, 6mm beads
- 8-9, 8mm beads
- 1 yard, 28g Craft Wire
These instructions are for an 8 spoke mandala – you may need to add a ninth spoke to keep your mandala flat. Once you've mastered the technique, try different bead combinations.
- String beads on wire in the following order: 1 11/0 SB, 4mm, 6mm, 4,, 3 SB, 8mm, 3 SB, 4mm, 6mm, 4mm.
- Bring the wire, on the end with the seed bead, around and through the first 3 beads on the opposite end.
- Pull ends, keeping the beads near the center of the wire, to create a loop.
- To the top wire add 3 SB, 8mm, 3 SB, 4mm, 6mm, 4mm. To the bottom wire add 1 SB, then bring the end of the bottom wire around and up through the 4, 6, 4, on the top wire.
- Continue this pattern until you have 8 spokes completed. Add 1 SB to the bottom wire and bring up through the first set of 4, 6, 4, to complete circle.
- Add 3 SB to each wire, then cross the wires through the 8mm bead. You're ready to add the E-beads for your second row.
- Add 3 E-beads. Pass wire through the 8mm bead.
- Continue to add 3 E-beads after each 8mm bead until complete. (Switch wires if needed.)
- To add a hanger, cross the wire through the middle E-bead on the last row. Add 6 seed beads on each wire, then 1 SB on both wires and form a loop, wrapping ends around several times, trim and tuck ends.

MENA › Governance › Workshop on Regulatory Policy Tools and Institutions in Practice
Workshop Participants
The Palestinian Authority is in the process of state building and implementing the "Palestinian National Plan (PNP) for 2011-13".
This workshop was organised on the 5-7 July 2010 with the MENA-OECD Initiative in order to support this Plan. The project provides a platform to make systematic use of peer learning and policy advice instruments to support effective change and modernisation of the Palestinian public administration.
The meeting provided participants with a practical overview on how to plan, implement and manage public consultations and regulatory impact assessments. Each element was explained through a theoretical presentation and illustrated by real examples from MENA and OECD countries, which was followed by group work.
At the end of the workshop, there was a joint-session with the e-Government team to discuss the use of ICT tools to facilitate public consultation and the creation of One-Stop Shops.
The workshop was designed to be highly interactive and participants were encouraged to share their experiences as much as possible in order to maximise the effect.

Associated Press
POSTED: 1:30 a.m. HST, Apr 18, 2013
SANTA CRUZ, Calif. » Records show the Army commander of a former soldier who gunned down two California police detectives had allowed him to resign from the military instead of face a court-martial when he was twice accused of rape.
The findings are contained in Jeremy Goulet's criminal records, obtained by the Associated Press on Wednesday. Goulet gunned down two Santa Cruz police detectives before being killed in a shootout on Feb. 26.
The records, obtained with a Freedom of Information Act request, show investigators from Wheeler Army Airfield in Hawaii — where Goulet was a helicopter pilot — found probable cause to prosecute him in 2006. However, his commander allowed him to resign "for the good of the service" under other-than-honorable conditions instead of facing a general court-martial.
Under military law, commanding officers have the discretion to decide how to handle rape charges. On Wednesday, U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Calif., introduced legislation that would change that by creating a separate office to respond directly to rape and sexual assault charges.
Speier, along with former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and other members of Congress, demanded investigations into Goulet's Army discharge in the days after the attack on the detectives.
"This makes the case once again why commanders shouldn't be making the decision that a judge or jury should be making about whether or not there is probable cause for prosecution," Speier said.
The 48 pages released by the Army Criminal Investigation Command detail some of its investigation, although the names of law enforcement personnel and the commander's remarks were blanked out by the military as a condition of releasing them.
In the first rape charge, the victim told investigators that on the night of the attack in April 2006, she woke up on her couch with a man forcing himself on her. She said she couldn't identify him because it was too dark but recognized his shirt. Goulet told investigators he had been at a party with the victim but denied the rape.
The investigator concluded that while there was probable cause to believe Goulet committed the offense, there was insufficient evidence to prosecute him. Goulet's commander said his intent was to take disciplinary action against Goulet, but not go so far as a court-martial.
Fewer than six months after the first alleged attack, another woman reported Goulet raped her. In that case, investigators said there was probable cause that Goulet raped the woman. Goulet refused to answer questions, and the investigation was dropped after DNA taken from a swab of his mouth did not match evidence from the scene.

News roundup: Spending cuts start, but government shutdown unlikely
Spending cuts go into place. But government shutdown less likely. New Obama picks for EPA, Energy and OMB.
Happy Monday. Congress couldn't come up with a plan to halt the automatic spending cuts known as the sequester, but it appears a deal is likely to avert a government shutdown at the end of the month. The House is expected to vote this week on a budget to keep the government running through the end of September and it's something the White House thinks it can buy into. [WaPost]
Topping the news: The sequestration could end up costing America hundreds of thousands of jobs, but isn't likely to hurt corporations' bottom lines. [NYTimes]
-> President Barack Obama is expected this morning to announce the promotion of an EPA official to lead the agency and to bring in an MIT professor to take over the Energy Department. [Politico]
-> The president is also expected to name his new OMB director, a former Clinton administration official. [Politico]
Tweets of the day: From @utahdiatribe: "Decided to follow @RepRobBishop since there is little danger of him dominating our Twitter timeline."
-> And from @TonyFratto: "I don't really know what to say about Rodman."
Happy birthday: Today to state Rep. Stephen Handy and Taylorsville City Recorder Cheryl Cottle, and belated wishes to state Rep. Larry Wiley and state Sen. Kevin Van Tassell, who celebrated yesterday.
Heard on the Hill: "For those of you trying to Google 'beer statistics,' they are apparently filtered so we are not allowed to get them here [through the Capitol wifi]."- Rep. Ryan Wilcox, R-Ogden, during a hearing on a proposed alcohol tax increase.
"I may look tough on the outside. But on the inside I am a delicate flower. I threw up four times on that F-16 flight." - Rep. Brad Wilson, R-Kaysville, telling the House about an F-16 flight at Hill Air Force Base.
From the Hill: Here's your daily legislative schedule. [Trib]
-> After passing both houses, a bill that would ban smoking in cars with kids under 15 present is on its way to Gov. Gary Herbert's desk. [Trib]
-> A bill that would increase the alcohol tax by 4.65 percent was canned after its sponsor admitted that the legislation wasn't about increasing revenue, but fighting overconsumption. [Trib]
-> Consumers could have more protection against tow truck companies, thanks to a new bill that passed through a House committee. [Trib]
-> The Senate nixed a controversial bill that would have raised rates for electric ratepayers to fund a nuclear power project. [Trib]
-> House lawmakers passed a resolution calling for "ObamaCare" to be repealed despite the opposition of Democrats, who say it's unlikely that Congress will repeal the law. [Trib]
-> The House voted unanimously to ensure that data contained in vehicle's "black boxes" devices in newer vehicles which record speed, breaking and other factors could only be released with permission from the car's owner. [Trib]
-> George Sutherland the only Utahn to ever serve on the U.S. Supreme Court may get a federal courthouse named after him, thanks to a joint resolution passed by the House. [Trib]
-> Sky lanterns would be banned during high-risk fire conditions under a fire code bill that is advancing in the Senate. [Trib]
-> The House moved to codify the Utah Marriage Commission, ensuring that less federal funding won't eliminate the commission. [Trib]
Opinion section: Paul Rolly speculates that House Speaker Becky Lockhart might be considering an attempt to oust Gov. Gary Herbert in 2016. [Trib]
-> Rolly also says state Rep. Mike Noel's acceptance of federal funds for his employer is hypocritical, given his opposition to federal funding that would keep the Department of Environmental Quality afloat. [Trib]
-> A former National Park Service superintendent says everyone including the national parks, states and citizens needs to come together to resolve water issues in the West. [Trib]
-> Pat Bagley offers his take on the "sequester butt-bites." [Trib]
-> Brian Moench of Utah Physicians for a Healthy Environment says it's a lack of public policy, not a "bad weatherman" that's keeping Utah's air from clearing up. [Trib]
-> An environmental lawyer says the Utah Legislature is too quick to villify Agenda 21, a United Nations degree that calls for land-use planning. [Trib]
-> A political science and gender studies professor takes another look at the "woman with a gun" narrative. [Trib]
-> George Pyle says that Medicare should be expanded to cut down on health care costs.[Trib]

-> Former Sen. Bob Bennett says raising the minimum wage could backfire and hurt the working poor. [DNews]
-> State Sen. Kevin Van Tassell says energy independence is possible as long as Washington gets on board. [DNews]
Weekend in review: Meet Kenya Coleman, the state Capitol's kitchen extraordinare known for dishing up taco salad to gun lobbyist Clark Aposhian, cheeseburgers to Gov. Gary Herbert and peanut butter sandwiches with the crust cut off for former Gov. Jon Huntsman. [Trib]
-> Ann Romney says that the end of her husband's presidential run was similar to the let-down after serving an LDS mission. [Trib]
-> Saratoga Springs Mayor Mia Love says she's optimistic about her city's ability to survive the sequester due to being "independent" of federal funding. [Trib]
-> Gov. Herbert submitted 24 nominees for the state's environmental policy boards to the Senate, where they await confirmation. [Trib]
Nationally: In his first television interview since the election, former Republican hopeful Mitt Romney says it "kills" him not to be in the White House. In the Fox News Sunday interview, the former Massachusetts governor said he regrets not reaching out more to Hispanic voters. [Politico] [WaPost] [NYTimes]

INDIANAPOLIS — A bill that would have permitted the use of cameras on school buses to capture stop-arm violations has died in the state Senate, NWI Politics reports.Sen. Michael Crider, the bill's sponsor, did not offer the measure for second reading on Monday, which was the final day for House-approved legislation to be made available for changes by the full Senate. As a result, the proposed legislation couldn't receive a final vote in the Senate by Tuesday's deadline. Crider didn't offer the bill for a second reading because some senators were concerned with how contracts between school corporations and camera enforcement companies would be arranged, according to the news outlet.Others felt there weren't sufficient due process protections in place for motorists accused of illegally passing stopped school buses. Crider plans to work with House sponsors to develop a camera enforcement plan for the 2015 session that addresses those issues, NWI Politics reports.To read the full story, click here.

Lady Dutch Crank Out 11 Hits in Ten-Run Win Over Grinnell
Posted By Sports On June 26, 2012 @ 6:01 am In Today's Local Sports | Comments Disabled
Plenty of hits and savvy base-running helped the Pella High softball team notch a convincing 11-1 road win Monday night against Grinnell. The Lady Dutch finished the evening with 11 hits, as Lindsey Mueller, Lexi McGinley and Sierra Williams each notched a pair of hits; while Diana Zabrodova slugged three RBIs and Allie DeMeulenaere took advantage of two walks to get on the base paths and steal two bags.
Pitcher Bri Arkema earned the win for Pella, allowing five hits and three walks while striking out seven Grinnell batters. The win puts the Pella High softball team at 15-10 overall and 5-4 in the Little Hawkeye Conference. The Lady Dutch are on the road again tonight; this time for a tough non-conference match-up with North Mahaska.

So some Portlanders are organizing a boycott of Moreland Farmers Pantry, a not-yet-open grocery specializing in GMO-free foods, because it has been discovered that the owners of the story are anti-marriage-equality and have said so in Facebook postings. (A secondary issue is that one of the store's co-owners linked to a libertarian article arguing that stores should have the legal right to refuse to serve gay customers). The boycott includes publishing a list of vendors who are working with MFP, so that readers can encourage those vendors to cut off relations with the not-yet-open store.
Here's the comment I posted on their facebook page about a half-hour ago. (Regular "Alas" readers will notice that I adapted some text from a post I wrote about Mozilla last week.)
Speaking as a Portlander who has gathered signatures, made phone calls, and knocked on doors to support marriage equality, I very much disagree with this boycott.
Do you really think trying to drive people who disagree with us out of business is a good way to persuade people who disagree with us? Is a society in which people are economically punished for speaking out on a currently live controversy, the kind of society you want?
Three reasons I think this boycott is misguided:
1. It goes against what I think of as a "free speech culture" to try and drive small stores out of business because of the owners' statements on current political controversies. Although there's no government censorship going on here, we can and should want more from a society than just "no one was thrown in jail." Truly open and free speech – substantive free speech – won't exist if people are afraid of being economically destroyed if they speak out on current issues.
2) It doesn't actually advance the cause of marriage equality in any significant way. If anything, it hurts the cause, by giving our opponents ammunition for their "gay bullies" argument.
3) It encourages people to think of politics as a matter of maintaining personal purity through choosing the correct store to shop at, rather than making meaningful change.
(I totally acknowledge that you have a free speech right to criticize, and to boycott, the Childs. But I likewise have a right to criticize your boycott.)
The owners of the boycott page deleted my comment. I wanted to ask them why, but they've blocked me from leaving any other comments, so I can't.
Local restaurant owner Nick Zukin has publicly (and intemperately) disagreed with the boycott, on similar grounds to my objection, and some folks on Facebook have suggested that his restaurant should now be boycotted in turn.
