Fliers' frustration with airlines climbs
WASHINGTON — Airline passengers are getting grumpier, and it's little wonder.
Airlines keep shrinking the size of seats to stuff more people onto planes. Those empty middle seats that once provided a little more room now are occupied. And more people with tickets are being turned away because flights are overbooked.
Private researchers who analyzed federal data on airline performance said in a report being released on Monday that consumer complaints to the Department of Transportation surged by one-fifth last year, even though other measures such as on-time arrivals and mishandled baggage show airlines are doing a better job.
"The way airlines have taken 130-seat airplanes and expanded them to 150 seats to squeeze out more revenue I think is finally catching up with them," said Dean Headley, a business professor at Wichita State University who has co-written the annual report for 23 years.
"People are saying, 'Look, I don't fit here. Do something about this.' At some point, airlines can't keep shrinking seats to put more people into the same tube," he said.
The industry is even looking at ways to make today's smaller-than-a-broom closet toilets more compact in the hope of squeezing more seats onto planes.
"I can't imagine the uproar that making toilets smaller might generate," Headley said, especially given that passengers increasingly weigh more than they use to. Nevertheless, "will it keep them from flying? I doubt it would."
The rate at which passengers with tickets were denied seats because planes were full rose to 0.97 of a denial per 10,000 passengers last year, compared with 0.78 in 2011.
It used to be in cases of overbookings that airlines could find a passenger who would volunteer to give up a seat in exchange some sort of compensation and the expectation of catching another flight later that day or the next morning. Not anymore.
"Since flights are so full, there are no seats on those next flights. So people say, 'No, not for $500, not for $1,000,'" said airline industry analyst Robert W. Mann Jr.
Regional carrier SkyWest had the highest involuntary denied boardings rate last year, 2.32 per 10,000 passengers.
United Airlines had the highest consumer complaint rate of the 14 airlines included in the report, with 4.24 complaints per 100,000 passengers. That was nearly double the airline's complaint rate the previous year. Southwest had the lowest rate, at 0.25.
Consumer complaints were significantly higher in the peak summer travel months of June, July and August when planes are especially crowded.
"As airplanes get fuller, complaints get higher because people just don't like to be sardines," Mann said.
As complaints were increasing, airlines were doing a better job of getting passengers to their destinations on time.
The industry average for on-time arrival rate was 81.8 percent of flights, compared with 80 percent in 2011. Hawaiian Airlines had the best on-time performance record, 93.4 percent in 2012. ExpressJet and American Airlines had the worst records with just 76.9 percent of their planes arriving on time last year.
The industry's shift to charging for fees for extra bags, or sometimes charging fees for any bags, has significantly reduced the rate of lost or mishandled bags. Passengers are checking fewer bags than before, and carrying more bags onto planes when permitted.
The industry's mishandled bag rate peaked in 2007 at 7.01 mishandled bags per 1,000 passengers. It was 3.07 in 2012, down from 3.35 bags the previous year.
The report's ratings are based on statistics kept by the Transportation Department, for airlines that carry at least 1 percent of the passengers who flew domestically last year.
The airlines covered in the report are Air Tran, Alaska, American, American Eagle, Delta, ExpressJet, Frontier, Hawaiian, JetBlue, SkyWest, Southwest, United, US Airways and Virgin America.
The research is sponsored by Purdue University in Indiana, and by Wichita State University in Kansas.

Yeah, it was painful reading about that. Stewart would have liked the original draft, but they simply threw it away without ever showing it to him. And when the said he liked the Fountain of Youth story, they never returned to the original draft.

Cramming FNPRM Reply Comment Deadline Extended

Federal Communications Commission
Before the
Federal Communications Commission
Washington, D.C. 20554In the Matter of
Empowering Consumers to Prevent and Detect
CG Docket No. 11-116
Billing for Unauthorized Charges ("Cramming")
Consumer Information and Disclosure
CG Docket No. 09-158
Truth-in-Billing and Billing Format
CC Docket No. 98-170
Adopted: June 29, 2012
Released: June 29, 2012
Revised Reply Comment Date: July 20, 2012By the Acting Chief, Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau:
1. On April 27, 2012, the Commission released a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
proposing additional rules to help consumers prevent and detect the placement of unauthorized charges on
their telephone bills, an unlawful and fraudulent practice commonly referred to as "cramming."1 The
Cramming FNPRM sets deadlines for filing comments and reply comments at 30 and 45 days after its
publication in the Federal Register,2 which occurred on May 24, 2012.3 Accordingly, the deadline for
filing comments was set at June 25, 2012, and the deadline for filing reply comments was set at July 9,
2. On June 26, 2012, the National Association of State Utility Consumer Advocates (NASUCA)
submitted a Motion for Extension of Time to File Reply Comments seeking a 30-day extension of the reply
comment deadline for all interested parties.5 In support of its Motion, NASUCA states that such an
extension is warranted because it will enable its members to review the large number of initial comments
that were filed and to perform the coordination necessary for NASUCA to formulate thoughtful reply
comments. NASUCA states that the current reply period includes the Fourth of July holiday and its
midyear meeting being held June 25-26, 2012, and that this scheduling will make it more difficult for it to

Federal Communications Commission
DA 12-1039complete reply comments by the current July 9, 2012 deadline.6 At least one party has filed in support of
NASUCA's request.7
3. It is the policy of the Commission that extensions of time are not routinely granted.8 Such
extensions may, however, be warranted when, among other things, the additional time will serve the
public interest.9 In the instant proceeding, we find for the reasons stated in NASUCA's motion that
providing additional time for all interested parties to file reply comments is reasonable and would be
beneficial to the development of a complete record on the issues. We believe, however, that an extension
of 11 days, rather than the requested 30 days, should provide adequate time for all parties to submit reply
comments. Under these circumstances, we conclude that granting an 11-day extension of time to file
reply comments serves the public interest and thus extend the reply comment deadline to
Friday, July 20,
4. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Sections 4(i) and 4(j) of the Communications Act
of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. §§ 154(i), (j), and Sections 0.141, 0.361, and 1.46 of the Commission's

Gap Year Language Courses
Are these courses for you ?
|YES ~ if you're looking for...
|> Academic Advancement
|> Language Competence
|> International Awareness
|> Personal Development
There are fabulous opportunities for Gap Year students who want to spend all or part of their year out improving language skills abroad.
|> French Gap Year
|> Italian Gap Year
|> Spanish Gap Year
|> German Gap Year
|> Chinese Gap Year
|> Russian Gap Year
CESA Languages Abroad is a founder member of the Year Out Group and adheres to the Year Out Group Code of Practice and the Members' Charter. For full details of the Year Out Group's Code of Practice, please visit www.yearoutgroup.org
Personal Development
The experience of living away from your own environment develops a sense of independence, broadens your horizons and tests your communication skills. Past Gap Year students have discovered a greater sense of self-confidence and maturity as a direct result of their Gap Year experience.
These experiences will influence and inform,
> your opinions
> your tastes
> your outlook on life ....... from now on.
Don't believe us?
See what past students discovered having been on a Gap Year course abroad...
Academic Advancement
Many Universities consider a Gap Year as a plus point for students (depending on the subject).
UCAS findings have shown that students who undergo a Gap Year are
> less likely to drop out &
> more likely to settle into University life
than those who take up their Degree, straight from school or college.
CESA Gap Year students who have lived away from home, studied abroad and developed a social circle amongst the international student body at their language college find the experience of going away to university less daunting as a result, whatever their degree subject.
Modern language undergraduates have the additional advantage of several months' intense study of a language or two languages before they begin their degree, which can really help grades and boost confidence during that all important first year at University.
Language Competance
A Gap Year programme immerses you in a language, teaches you key language skills and provides you with the opportunities to put these skills into daily practise. The ebb and flow of each week at college will be at the heart of your world, as you interact with teachers and the other students and use the resources on offer. You will gain a wider and richer knowledge of the vocabulary, grammar and syntax of the language. You can assimilate this information and (most importantly) you will be able to practice, practise, practise. At a higher ability level you can add layers of understanding in the form of nuance and cultural reference critical to real language competence.
Students of European languages can see tangible results over an 8 to 16 week period, of course you are welcome to study for longer.
If studying Arabic or Russian we would recommend 8 to 20 weeks for serious linguistic improvement.
When studying Japanese or Chinese, students have to realise that whilst 12 weeks will provide a beginner with a solid grounding in the language, to see true results CESA would recommend a 24 week Gap Year course.
By the end of a Gap Year programme you should have a feeling of linguistic confidence and understanding which will stay with you for years to come.
International Awareness
Your Gap Programme enables you to spend several months not only studying the language but experiencing the culture and customs of a country. You will in all probability come into contact with a set of attitudes, cultural norms and social values that will differ from your own.

"extends" means the next token is the name of a class. "implements" means the next token is the name of an interface. If you search the forums or the FAQ you'll find we've had a lot of conversations about the merits "abstract class vs interface" and the design implications. In general I recommend the most abstract thing that will work. Sometimes that means interface (more abstract) and sometimes the problem really calls for extending an abstract class (less abstract). See if you can find the other discussions and let us know what further questions come to mind.
A good question is never answered. It is not a bolt to be tightened into place but a seed to be planted and to bear more seed toward the hope of greening the landscape of the idea. John Ciardi

let's see...
extends is from a class where as implements is from interface.
extends - single inheritance where as implements - multiple inheritance.
class only inherit constants from an interface...

May 14, 2005 12:08:00
class only inherit constants from an interface...
i don't think that's quite correct...
if b extends a, then b has EVERYTHING a has... constants, methods, member variables. if you write nothing more than
public class A extends B{};
then class A and B are identical. you can then put MORE stuff into B, and override parts of A, but everything that's in A is also in B.
implements - multiple inheritance.
again, not quite. the keyword "implements" really only means that the class you are writing will have all the methods defined in the interface. there is no garantee of HOW they will work, or what they will do exactly... just what parameters they take and what kind of object (if any) they return. Implementing something doesn't GIVE you anything - it says you promise to DO something in your class. like signing a contract.
inheriting (extending) from a class GIVES you the methods/variables defined in the parent class for free.
There are only two hard things in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors

Let's clear that last point.
interface Animal{ int speed = 10; //this is static final int (by default) }
So it I do this
class Dog implements Animal{ public int whatIsYourSpeed(){ return speed; //this is valid, but the same as return Animal.speed; } }
So, interface fields, as they are static are not actually inherited, but by convetion it can be accessed from a child class by their simple name as lons as there are not conflict with other interfaces.
It is different in classes, because the class fields are not obligatory public static and final.

It is also very important to understan the extends and implents trade-offs.
If you extend a class, for exampe an abstract class, then you will not be able to extend other class, because
sticks to the convetion of single inheritance. The advantage is that, an abstract class or fully implemented class already have some funtionality implemented.
In the other hand, implementing an interface lets you extend other classes, but you have to implement them somehow every time that you use them.
That is the reason for which classes like Thread can use a Runnable interface instead of just extending the class Thread. Because once you extend Thread, you cannot extend other class. But if you use Runnable, you can extend other class and still keep the threading functionality,

Chinese telecom giant Huawei will execute a project that will connect Pakistan with China using fiber-optic cable, according to Pakistan's APP news service. The connection will run from a remote spot along the countries' borders near Khunjerab to Rawalpindi (near Islamabad), spanning over 800 km. It will reportedly cost around $44 million, and Huawei plans to have completed the project within two years.
The new connection should help with connectivity issues and assuage security concerns in Pakistan. Currently, the country is connected to the world wide web only through a few undersea cables; the new connection will bring added redundancy that should reduce internet downtime and additional security, as the government believes it will be more difficult to tap into and 'eavesdrop' on than the current undersea connections. The project is also expected to stimulate trade and interaction between Pakistan, China, and central Asia.
Probably needless to say, though, there is some concern amongst the public about this project. Huawei has been accused by Western countries (and one of Pakistan's neighbors) of spying for the Chinese government, and in comments on stories about the new connection, some Pakistani commenters have expressed concerns that Huawei's equipment may not be as secure as Pakistan's government seems to be hoping. Some are also wondering whether Pakistani internet traffic passing through China will be subject to the same surveillance and censorship as regular Chinese internet traffic. We're genuinely not sure what the answer to the latter question is, but we're looking into it and will update this post if we can dig up additional information.

Machine learning for neuroscience
Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Neural Systems & Circuits 2011, 1:12 doi:10.1186/2042-1001-1-12Published: 15 August 2011
First paragraph (this article has no abstract)
Machine learning is a type of statistics that places particular emphasis on the use of advanced computational algorithms. As computers become more powerful, and modern experimental methods in areas such as imaging generate vast bodies of data, machine learning is becoming ever more important for extracting reliable and meaningful relationships and for making accurate predictions. Key strands of modern machine learning grew out of attempts to understand how large numbers of interconnected, more or less neuron-like elements could learn to achieve behaviourally meaningful computations and to extract useful features from images or sound waves.

Van Jones Said He Will Teach 100,000 Black Children Computer Coding
November 3rd, 2015
Steven Tyler needs more than time to get healthy.
The Aerosmith frontman has checked into rehab for the second time in as many years, again to address chronic pain he suffers from all the wear and tear that rocking out has caused him over the years.
"With the help of my family and team of medical professionals, I am taking responsibility for the management of my pain and am eager to be back on the stage and in the recording studio with my bandmates Joe Perry, Joey Kramer, Tom Hamilton and Brad Whitford," Tyler said in a statement.
"I love Aerosmith; I love performing as the lead singer in Aerosmith," he adds. "I am grateful for all of the support and love I am receiving and am committed to getting things taken care of."
It's a good thing the band didn't really break up then.
Not helping Tyler's bid to avoid pain-med addiction or Aerosmith's bid to maintain its hard-core image, the 61-year-old Tyler broke his shoulder in August when he fell off a stage while performing in South Dakota.
The band ultimately scrapped the remainder of its tour, and rumors arose not long afterward that the rest of Aerosmith planned to move on without its lead singer.
Tyler entered rehab in May 2008, purportedly to recuperate from a series of operations he had on his feet. Because of the intense pain, he figured round-the-clock oversight of his recovery was the best choice in order to manage his treatment, considering his history of drug abuse.
"My family and I are in complete support of my dad's decision to seek treatment," daughter Liv Tyler told People, which first reported the rehab rerun. "He is a courageous man. We love him and are so proud that he is getting help to balance his pain management, not just for himself but for his family, friends and fans."

Yuvraj comes good for IndiaComment on this story
Yuvraj Singh roared back to form with a pugnacious 60 off 43 balls to steer India to 159-7 in the World Twenty20 Super-10 match against Australia in Dhaka on Sunday.
India, who have already qualified for the semi-finals, are looking for a fourth successive win in their last group two match.
Australia and Bangladesh are already out of contention, leaving Pakistan and the West Indies to battle for the second semi-final spot from the group on Tuesday.
India, whose previous three wins came while batting second, were given first strike by Australian captain George Bailey and found themselves in immediate trouble.
India's top order faltered after opener Rohit Sharma fell to part-timer Brad Hodge off the fourth ball of the innings and slipped to 66-4 by the 12th over.
Left-handed Yuvraj, who made one and 10 in the two innings he got to bat in the tournament, launched a spectacular counter-attack that included five boundaries and four sixes.
Skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni made 24 during a fifth-wicket stand of 84 off 42 balls with Yuvraj before he was bowled by Mitchell Starc in the penultimate over.
Yuvraj himself fell in the final over, but not before he had struck timely form ahead of the knock-out round.
In the day's first match, Pakistan defeated hosts Bangladesh by 50 runs. – AFP

Senate President Pro Tem Del Marsh, R-Anniston, comments on a proposal to consolidate and reorganize the state's public safety and law enforcement functions during committee hearings at the Alabama State House on Wednesday Feb. 6, 2013. (Mickey Welsh/Montgomery Advertiser)
The Alabama Senate has set aside a bill temporarily that would allow state agencies to raise their fees without legislation by going through a panel of more than 30 House and Senate members after critics said it could allow agencies to raise fees - with one claiming it could increase the fee for his business by as much as 20 percent.
Alabama senators decided to set aside most of the substantive bills before them on Thursday, including a bill that would consolidate law enforcement agencies in the state.
The sponsor of the fee proposal, Sen. Gerald Dial, said some agencies have fees that cost more to ...

Swedish women's football champions Umea IK will play USA's top club stars in the first Women's Professional Soccer [WPS] All-Star Game on 30 August in St. Louis.
The game will be staged eight days after the inaugural WPS championship game, with the all-star starters selected by vote and reserves decided by the coach and WPS commissioner Tonya Antonucci.
"Our league is part of the bigger growth of the women's game at the global level and we wanted to acknowledge that by bringing in a club from outside the league," Antonucci said.
Three-time FIFA World Player of the Year Marta, the Los Angeles Sol forward who is joint leading scorer in the league, will likely be playing against her former team-mates at Umea, which has won seven of the past nine Swedish crowns.
"It is going to be very exciting to play against the best players of WPS," Umea striker Hanna Ljungberg said. "Naturally we look forward to playing against Marta."

While the top 6 picks remain the same there are a lot of changes in the bottom half of the lottery. There are also some players who have moved around and now been selected by different teams based on things I have heard from scouts and front office personnel. One week to go boys and girls… and I still expect two or three major moves to happen with teams in the lottery!!
1. Cleveland Cavaliers
(SF, C, SG) – No change at the top. I spoke with people close to the Cavs brass and was told that they were impressed by Embiid's workout but also by the way he handled himself. Don't believe the reports about his back being a big problem, I was told the back issue will NOT prevent the Cavs from making him the top overall pick.
Selection – Joel Embiid , C – University of Kansas
2. Milwaukee Bucks
(Scorer, Combo Forward) – The Bucks are intrigued by Embiid as well, but with the 7-footer off the board look for them to take the player who can have the more immediate impact.
Selection – Jabari Parker, PF/SF – Duke University
3. Philadelphia 76ers
(SF, PF/C) – The Sixers were dubbed "Tankadelphia" this year and the consensus all along was that the front office wanted to land Wiggins. They didn't get the pick they wanted but they will get the player they coveted.
Selection – Andre Wiggins, SF – University of Kansas
4. Orlando Magic
(PG, PF) – I'm hearing Noah Vonleh's name mentioned here now along with Dante Exum. While the team was impressed with Exum, the overwhelming need for a PG will outweigh everything else.
Selection – Dante Exum, PG – Australia
5. Utah Jazz
(SF, G, F) – The Jazz are forming a nice young nucleus with Trey Burke, Derek Favors and RFA Gordon Hayward. Add to that Enes Kanter and Alec Burks and the team has a nice young piece at each position on the floor. Look for them to try desperately to trade down but if they stay look for them to add a security blanket at SF or more backcourt depth.
Selection – Noah Vonleh, SF/PF – Indiana University
6. Boston Celtics
(Scorer, SG, F) – The Celtics need a legit scoring threat and could also use help at SG and F. Marcus Smart, Aaron Gordon and Julius Randle are names I am hearing right now tied to Boston. Many people think the Celtics are leaning towards Gordon but I simply don't think they can pass up the scoring ability of Marcus Smart.
Selection – Marcus Smart, SG – Oklahoma State University
7. Los Angeles Lakers
(Everything) – Julius Randle is an option here and would fill a huge hole for the Lakers but I have heard now from two separate Western Conference scouts that the team absolutely loves PG Elfrid Payton and feels he could be a Rajon Rondo type with a better offensive game. This will all come down to opinions on Randle's previously broken foot.
Selection – Elfrid Payton, PG – University of Louisiana at Lafayette
8. Sacramento Kings
(C, Defender, PG) – The Kings could use a defensive center that would allow Cousins to move over to his natural PF position. With no center worthy of this pick, why not keep Cousins at center and add a defensive minded PF.
Selection – Aaron Gordon, PF – University of Arizona
9. Charlotte Hornets (from Detroit)
(F, G) – The team has changed names and now need to finish changing their identity. The Hornets (Bobcats) finished in the bottom 3 teams in perimeter shooting in the entire league. For this team to take the next step they have to find someone who can shoot the ball. Enter one of the biggest question marks in the entire draft, a Combo Forward who can shoot the lights out.
Selection – Doug McDermott, SF/PF – Creighton University
10. Philadelphia 76ers (from New Orleans)
(PF, C, SG) – Philly added Andrew Wiggins earlier and now will truly feel like they won the lottery when they can add a player who many believe is the most versatile in the entire draft and one who's ceiling is off the charts.
Selection – Dario Saric, SF/PF – Croatia

SWEETWATER, Tenn. (AP) -- The sister of a Fort Campbell soldier who was convicted of war crimes is seeking support for his clemency hearing scheduled next month.
Raymond Girouard (jer-AHRD) was convicted by court-martial last year for his role in the killings of three Iraqi detainees and the subsequent cover-up.
His sister, Joy Oakes of Sweetwater, is soliciting letters of support to convince a board to consider leniency when they hear his case on Feb. 21 at Fort Leavenworth, Kan.
Oakes has drummed up more than $20,000 for her brother's legal defense and rallied community support for her brother, who is serving a 10-year prison term.

When the weather gets challenging -- just like it has been lately -- TV meteorologists often hear from frustrated viewers. But KARE's weekend weather guy Jerrid Sebesta doesn't mind taking the heat for what Mother Nature's been doling out. In fact, he welcomes it.
A couple of weeks ago, the forecast called for rain, but it snowed -- inspiring Sebesta's coworker and buddy Dave Schwartz to take to Twitter.
"Dave tweeted, 'My favorite part about this crappy weather is how people start blaming Jerrid and start sending him nasty tweets,'" Sebesta recalled. "So Dave hashtagged it #blamejerrid. By the 5 p.m. news that day, people were going gangbusters on it and started blaming me for everything."
After being promoted on April 5 newscasts, #blamejerrid was trending on Twitter, and at one point Sebesta gained 100 followers on the social media site in three minutes. The hashtag lives on. Even Minnesota Lynx Lindsay Whalen and state Rep. Kurt Zellers have gotten in on the #blamejerrid fun.
"It's the ones that don't have to do with the weather that are the most comical," Sebesta said. "The funniest one was one guy who said, 'My wife is pregnant #blamejerrid.'"
Sebesta says the #blamejerrid shtick fits his personality because he's a "self-deprecating" guy who doesn't take himself too seriously. He says the hashtag has given folks a funny outlet to vent their frustrations -- weather or otherwise.
"i'm just a punching bag -- you got stuck in traffic, your dog threw up on the carpet -- blame me," Sebesta laughed. "It's my fault in some way, shape or form. It's all in good fun."
So when your kid doesn't pick up his room, your husband forgets your anniversary or it rains on your wedding day, you'll know who to blame: Jerrid.

Photo by Henry Dirocco / SCRThere's one vitally important questionany reporter should ask Hal Landon Jr., the Orange County theatrical marvel who, come Nov. 27, will have played Ebenezer Scrooge for an incredible 25 consecutive years in South Coast Repertory's annual production of Jerry Patch's adaptation of Charles Dickens' novella A Christmas Carol.
That question is: Charles Dickens, whose family was sent to debtor's prison when he was 12, wrote this novella as a fiery condemnation of the greed and corruption of Victorian England, as well as a tribute to the inner nobility and virtue of the poor. It's a play that speaks directly to the greed of wealthy people and how they should take care of poor people. It's also a certifiable cash cow for SCR and OC's longest-lasting, most-popular cultural institution. The irony is obvious. So, Hal, do you think audiences adore this play because it reminds them of their responsibility to the poor, or do they like it because it assuages some of their collective guilt in living in one of the most affluent counties in the world's most prosperous and hypocritical nation?
But I didn't ask Hal that question. I asked him one that was kind of similar. But, really, you don't want to put Hal Landon Jr. on the hot seat. The guy oozes niceness and civility and just-plain-cool-dude stuff. Who knows—maybe offstage he kicks puppies and votes Republican, but onstage he always brings a quiet dignity and an ironically detached air that makes all his characters immediately personable and downright likeable.
Even when they're horribly greedy, mean and downright Scrooge-like. We checked in with our pal Hal during A Christmas Carol rehearsals. And we call him our pal because we bestowed upon him a few years ago the highly coveted OC Weekly Theater Award for Lifetime Achievement. We like to think he still proudly displays it on his mantle, even though for all we know, he hocked it on his way home for a dime rock of crack.
OC Weekly: Aren't you sick of this gig yet?
Hal Landon Jr.: Well, you'd kind of think by now I would be tired of it. But truthfully, I look forward to it every year.
You're portraying a character whose very name has become a synonym for miserly. We all know him. Do you play Scrooge on autopilot by now, or do you always find something new and different about the greedy lug?
Over the course of the year, I think about him once in a while, and when November or December starts approaching, the image of the guy begins to appear, and it's always a little different from the year before. And I try to develop that.
At what point over the past quarter-century did you finally "get" Scrooge?
I don't remember the year, but it was fairly recently. I found I was more immersed in the moment and the character's thoughts than ever before, and that was obviously useful. I'm not sure how it happened or why I was able to do that. But then I remembered reading accounts of the Moscow Art Theatre and how they'd rehearse plays for six months. My reaction was what did they do during all that time? Because we rehearse in resident theaters maybe four or five weeks. But then I realized that if you'd taken all the days that I'd rehearsed Scrooge over the years, they amounted to about six months in total. So maybe that's what happened to me. I'd finally had the luxury of time to really sink into the role.
There's a clich� in acting that every performer has to find something about his or her character to identify with. Scrooge is just a mean-spirited, crotchety bastard. How does warm and fuzzy Hal Landon Jr. relate to him?
One of the interesting things about this story is that Scrooge rediscovers himself through an act of his subconscious: a dream that awakens him. So that part of Scrooge is always there; it just took this catastrophic night of incredible dreams to bring him back to his true self. So I try [to tap into that] early in the show. I try not to make it too obvious, and the points vary from year to year, but I do try to manifest that "good" part of Scrooge early on.
This is a play in which questions of money never lurk too far beneath the surface. Do you think audiences relate to the show differently in economically tense times?
It does seem that when the economy is in a recession or downturn, during early parts of the run, the audience isn't that enthusiastic about what they're watching. But during the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas, the change is fairly dramatic in how the audience reacts. You can really tell there's a difference in the spirit of the audience and what they take from what they're watching.
Scrooge: Bush or Kerry?
The Scrooge of the first act would have worked for the Bush campaign, but I'd like to think that the Scrooge of the second act would have been a Kerry man.

Bollywood Gossip: Shahid KapoorComment on this story
It has recently been reported that Shahid Kapoor has filed a police complaint against his stalker who claims to be his wife.
As soon as news was out that the stalker was a legendary actor's daughter, there were a lot of speculations regarding her identity.
And now it has been revealed that the stalker is Bollywood's legendary actor the late Raaj Kumar's daughter, Vastavikta Raaj Kumar.
The trouble started nine months ago when Kumar moved next to Kapoor's building. Kumar, who claims to be the actor's wife, scaled his walls, dodged the security and ran up to his apartment.
She has also been blocking his gate and following him to film shoots out of love for the actor.
Kapoor refrained from taking any legal action before as her mother had sent a written apology to the actor.
But, things went way beyond the actor's control, leaving him with no other option but to file a police complaint. – Bollywood hungama.com

House OKs drug-testing for assistance recipients
People receiving government cash assistance could have to submit to drug testing in order to receive benefits, according to the sponsor of a bill that passed through the House Thursday.
The measure, HB155, passed 62-10, and now goes to the Senate.
It's sponsor, Rep. Brad Wilson, R-Kaysville, said the measure addresses the safety net for people who fall on hard times but ensures those who apply for the money also are attempting to get a job and work which means they can't be doing drugs.
"I want to be clear ⦠we are not going to prevent folks from getting benefits unless they refuse to go into treatment or they refuse to execute the treatment to get clean," he said.
The measure requires recipients of Utah's Family Employment Program to fill out a questionnaire and, if suspicions arise that applicants are using drugs, they take a drug test. If drug tests come up positive, they are then required to undergo treatment.
Refusal to fill out the 30-minute questionnaire or take the drug test would result in no cash benefits being distributed to the applicant, who then would be ineligible for 90 days. A second refusal would impose a one-year wait for benefit eligibility.
Rep. Mark Wheatley, D-Murray, was concerned that the bill was based on the assumption that poor people were using drugs a charge Wilson rebutted by saying only about 10 percent of those applying for the benefits are drug abusers.
Wilson said it was meant as a way for earlier detection of people who might be on a pathway to drug abuse.
"The drug use is an obstacle for getting off drugs and getting of welfare," Wilson said.
Minority Leader David Litvack, D-Salt Lake City, opposed the measure and said the assessment of care needed wasn't addressed in the measure.
He also said he thought the bill would prove more expensive than the $169,100 fiscal note indicated.
"I think pragmatically, this will be challenging," Litvack said.

5 In The Morning
Words And Music by Neal Century 27th - March - 2010
C Am Am
5 in the morning with no place to go
An empty shadow's what i call home
The Sun is there about to rise
My colors fade it makes me cry
What you really need is the people that you meet
What you really want is what you cannot have
Was it really love fading in the sky
I could wait all night till the new moon rise
I've been running up and down
Now i'm the clown of the town
The sun arise and the moon falls
Yesterday like a life ago
What you really need is the people that you meet
What you really want is what you cannot have
Well i really need one look around
Cuz every place is a familiar town
But life goes on and on... ... ...

Judging from a syllabus she handed out to students, a visiting professor at a public university in West Virginia brings a unique combination of traits with her to the job. Among them are: (1) an apparent ignorance of even the most fundamental rules of English grammar and style, and (2) an unfounded prejudice against a legitimate news source. Neither has any business in a college classroom.
The Daily Caller reports that the instructor, Stephanie Wolfe, prepared her students to do research at West Liberty University by admonishing them against using two sources. One is The Onion, which she advises, "is not news [sic] this is literally [sic] a parody." The other is FOX News, of which she opines: "Please do not subject me to this biased news station. I would almost rather you print off [sic] an article from the Onion."
The directive raised the hackles of some students, who complained to local media outlets. Robin Capehart, the university's president, responded to the story by noting:lease do not subject me to this biased news station. I would almost rather you print off [sic] an article from the Onion."
One of our values at West Liberty is to encourage students to go out and inquire and gather information and look at as many different sources as possible on any side, before you reach your opinion.
Any attempt to limit the breadth of a student's ability to investigate is obviously something at which we have a concern.
Capehart didn't say whether she is OK with using The Onion.
So far, no disciplinary action has been taken against Wolfe, who signed a one-year contract, replacing an instructor on leave. Her proscription on using FOX News, however, has been lifted.
According to the West Liberty University website:
Wolfe most recently taught holocaust and genocide studies at Keene State, N.H. She earned her bachelor's degree at the University of Oklahoma, her master's at the University of Oklahoma and her doctoral degree from the University of Kent, Brussels.

"The man's a sissy," I thought. His words and demeanor seemed too sweet, artificial, affected. I didn't like him from the first moment he opened his mouth to talk to me. You know how some people seem to be putting on piety and it shows? Well, that's how Ken Maurer affected me. I just didn't like him.
Yet, the Lord was going to use this man to help shape my life from that first encounter onward.
Over the course of the next year, I would come to learn that his piety was not artificial, his demeanor was not saccharine, and this man was no sissy – not by any stretch of the imagination. He was a man of God, a man of faith and had an unyielding devotion to his Saviour. He was as genuine as salt. I would come to learn that it was my own impoverished, cynical soul that made me see him the way I did on our first encounter. I grew to have an enormous respect for this intelligent and caring human being. I would take every course he offered, and some I would take twice (without credit) just to glean as much as I could from him.
Dr. Kenneth Maurer was the Dean of Evangelical Theological Seminary. He founded the school, single-handedly kept it afloat for years, served as its President and Chair of its History Department. There were times he even served as its janitor. He was President of the American Association of Church Historians for over twenty years. He was a man of vision, and nothing stood in the way of his fulfilling the task the Lord laid on his shoulders – not sickness, not finances, not work, not the most demeaning of tasks. Nothing.
His fingerprints are on my life, in my mind, on my soul, and all over my faith. He taught me the value of knowing my roots and my fathers' history. He brought his beloved Scripture to life and instilled an appreciation of the scripture's vitality in his students. The longer I live and study my Sovereign and His word, the more I realize that Yeshua used this man to help mold me, my faith, my ministry, my life.
It occurs to me that there have been others, too – some I recognize and some I don't. But I have come to appreciate the gift that the Lord gave me in Ken Maurer. And, as I considered that notion, my mind followed the rabbit trail to others who were used to help shape this old George. Some did it with kindness, some with meanness; some with wisdom and some with ignorance; some with grace and some with abuse.
But, they all made a deposit in me which God has used and is using to help mold my life. Many of the experiences have been very pleasant and many have been very painful. But in it all, God has been the potter. Now, in my autumn years, I am just beginning to learn how to be thankful for both.
Thank you, Lord, for your fingerprints left on us through other people's fingers and the way you used them in our lives.

Broadcom Becomes Linux Foundation Member
"We applaud Broadcom for its recent move to work more closely with the Linux community; their membership in the Linux Foundation speaks volumes of their commitment," says Amanda McPherson, Vice President of Marketing and Developer Programs at The Linux Foundation.
Broadcom's membership in the Linux Foundation moves them further into the Linux Community. "In September, Broadcom announced it had open sourced its drivers for selected Wi-Fi chipsets, a pivotal move that garnered applause throughout the Linux community," The Linux Foundation says in its upcoming announcement. According to the foundation, that's not all Broadcom is doing. "Since then, the driver has been integrated into the latest Linux kernel release 2.6.37 and, as a result, is actively being improved upon by the entire Linux community. Given its portfolio of semiconductors for wired and wireless communications, Broadcom is an important addition to The Linux Foundation," the announcement says.
More information on the Linux Foundation can be found on their website.
