What's On This Week
A daily updated summary of the week in TV.
Wednesday, November 25, 2015
Alternate Name: Nicholas King Nolte, Nicholas King Nolte
A daily updated summary of the week in TV.
From All Movie Guide: With ruggedly handsome looks and a lengthy screen career, actor-producer Nick Nolte has established himself as a major industry figure. His enviable standing as one of Hollywood's most distinctive leading men was further cemented with a 1998 Best Actor Oscar nomination for his role in Affliction.
A native of Omaha, NE, Nolte was born February 8, 1941. While a student at Arizona State University, he revealed talent as a football player, but whatever promise he may have had on the field was aborted by his expulsion from the school for bad grades. A subsequent move to California convinced Nolte to try acting instead. He studied at the Pasadena Playhouse, then at Stella Adler's Academy in Los Angeles under Bryan O'Byrne, while he held down a job as an iron worker. After his training, Nolte spent 14 years traveling the country and working in regional theater, occasionally landing parts in B-movies and television films. Debuting onscreen with a small role in Dirty Little Billy (1972), Nolte was 34 when he finally got his break in the acclaimed television miniseries Rich Man, Poor Man (1976). His portrayal of Tom Jordache earned him an Emmy nomination and led to a starring role opposite Jacqueline Bisset in The Deep (1977). In addition to starring in the football exposé North Dallas Forty (1979), Nolte contributed to its screenplay, written by Peter Gent.
Showing a marked preference for unusual and difficult films, it was not long before Nolte became known as a well-rounded actor who brought realism, depth, and spirit to even his most offbeat or even unsympathetic roles. Some of those parts include Beat author Neal Cassady in Heart Beat (1980), a homeless bum who helps a dysfunctional rich family in the hit comedy Down and Out in Beverly Hills (1986), a family man attempting to come to grips with his family's traumatic past while falling in love with his therapist in The Prince of Tides (1991), a midwestern basketball coach in Blue Chips, and a world-weary detective in Mulholland Falls (1996).
For a grim period in the late '80s, Nolte's career was threatened by his unrestrained drug and alcohol use, but a subsequent rehabilitation strengthened his career, paving the way for roles such as Jake McKenna in Oliver Stone's neo-noir thriller U-Turn (1997) and his Oscar-nominated turn as Sheriff Wade Whitehouse in Paul Schrader's Affliction (1997), a picture Nolte also executive produced. Following this triumph, Nolte further re-established his reputation as a major Hollywood player with his role in Terrence Malick's 1998 adaptation of James Jones' {-The Thin Red Line}, headlining a cast including George Clooney, Sean Penn, and John Travolta. If the subsequent adaptation of author Kurt Vonnegut Jr.'s acclaimed novel {-Breakfast of Champions} failed to capture the essence of the written word, Nolte still managed to offer an impressive performance in the following year's The Golden Bowl.
At this point in his career Nolte could certainly be counted on to turn in compelling performances regardless of the project, which made the return of his former demons more tragic than ever. On the heels of a mesmerizing lead performance as an aging gambler in director Neil Jordan's The Good Thief (a remake of the Jean-Pierre Melville classic Bob le flambeur), Nolte's arrest for driving under the influence in September of 2002 made headlines when it was discovered that he was under the influence of GHB. The disheveled mugshot that followed made him the butt of many a joke; Nolte would later credit the arrest for helping him to clean up his act and get back on track with his onscreen career. A late-night jam that found neighbors phoning police made headlines the following year, and the Hulk came and went with disappointing results.
In the subsequent period, Nolte remained in good form, with idiosyncratic and fascinating roles. He triumphed in the spectacular late 2004 drama Hotel Rwanda, as the politically impotent Col. Oliver during the Rwandan genocide.
Neophyte director Hans Petter Moland then tapped Nolte for a pivotal characterization in his drama The Beautiful Country, released in July 2005. That same year, Nolte also triumphed on the festival circuit with his delicate work in Olivier Assayas's harrowing dysfunctional family drama Clean. In 2006, he voiced Vincent in the hit animated feature Over the Hedge, and claimed a seldom-seen but pivotal role in the thriller A Few Days in September, as an American spy desperate to reconnect with his children. Next up was Mysteries of Pittsburgh, an adaptation of Michael Chabon's debut coming-of-age novel.
In 2008 Nolte appeared as the grizzled Vietnam Vet whose life the movie within the movie in Tropic Thunder is based on, and in the next few years he continued to lend his distinct, gravelly voice to a number of projects including the Kevin James vehicle Zookeeper. In 2011 his work in Warrior, as the father of two MMA fighters, earned him strong reviews as well as Oscar, BAFTA, and Screen Actors Guild nominations for Best Supporting Actor. ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, Rovi

Steven McBride is opening an actor training studio in downtown Chillicothe.
- Filed Under
Steven McBride hopes to teach his students awareness, empathy and self-discovery, all by way of acting.
"There might be a misconception that acting is all about becoming someone else when really you're discovering yourself in the process," said McBride, a transplant from Tennessee who has called Chillicothe home for the past year and a half.
McBride is opening an actor-training studio this summer in a new studio space on West Second Street owned by Park View Gallery proprietor Cynthia Davis and shared with the Foothill Folk Society. ...

Now the Washington Nationals might get more of a test.
Right-hander Jordan Zimmermann worked around eight hits over six innings, Ryan Zimmerman's three hits included a two-run double and the Nationals beat the Miami Marlins 6-1 Thursday to wrap up a lopsided season-opening three-game sweep.
Jayson Werth padded the margin with a three-run homer in the seventh, a sign that his broken left wrist of last season is gaining strength. Bryce Harper had another eventful day, collecting two hits for the third consecutive game, taking an elbow to the face while scoring a run, and later getting thrown out trying to steal third with cleanup hitter Zimmerman at the plate.
Coming off a majors-best 98-win season in 2012, the Nationals outscored the payroll-slashing, talent-trading Marlins by a total of 11-1 in the series. At least Miami finally scored, ending a 19-inning run drought in the second Thursday on Justin Ruggiano's first-pitch homer to right off Zimmermann (0-1).
Washington opens a three-game series at the defending NL Central champion Cincinnati Reds on Friday.
Zimmermann followed sterling outings by Nationals starters Stephen Strasburg (seven scoreless innings Monday) and Gio Gonzalez (six scoreless innings Wednesday) by giving up only one run. But the Marlins got at least one runner on in every inning against Zimmermann, who nonetheless kept getting out of trouble.
Relievers Henry Rodriguez, Tyler Clippard and Craig Stammen finished up.
The St. Louis Cardinals began the 1943 season with 26 scoreless innings against Cincinnati, the post-1900 major league record, according to STATS LLC.
The Marlins have a payroll that's under $45 million this season after trading away several top players, including Jose Reyes and Hanley Ramirez. And yet this isn't exactly a new problem. Last season, they batted .244 - the worst average in franchise history - and scored 3.8 runs per game - their fewest since a 3.6 average in 1993, their expansion year.
Miami's pitching was solid this series, and Wade LeBlanc (0-1) limited Washington to three runs - two earned - and five hits in five innings. But Werth drove a 93 mph pitch from reliever Mike Dunn beyond the visiting bullpen in left to double the Nationals' output.
With the temperature in the 40s on a cloudy afternoon, LeBlanc gave up one-out singles to Werth and Harper ahead of Zimmerman's double off the wall in center in the first inning. Harper collided with catcher Rob Brantly while scoring and momentarily grabbed his chin but didn't appear seriously hurt.
In the third, Denard Span led off with a single and reached second on an error charged to LeBlanc. Harper then delivered an RBI single to make it 3-1, taking second on right fielder Giancarlo Stanton's error. Moments later, Brantly threw out Harper at third.

Urban Economists continue to debate the future of the Rust Belt. Ed Glaeser has earned much praise from upstate New Yorkers for his "kind words" about Buffalo's fate. See http://www.city-journal.org/html/17_4_buffalo_ny.html.
Other economists have also highlighted the challenges that cold Rust Belt cities face. Bruce Sacerdote paper on the Rust Belt
The New York Times is becoming a more optimistic newspaper. Perhaps the end isn't near afterall. What I find interesting about this Booster piece about Providence Rhode Island is the synergies between Brown University and Providence. Brown is becoming a more serious research university at the same time that Providence is improving. Which way does the causality go? Is it now easier for Brown to recruit star faculty like Ken Chay because it is a "consumer city"? Or as Brown has grown richer it is investing more in the city and being a good neighbor? Yale for years has had to wrestle with this issue of "playing nice".
The bigger issue here is the role that major Universities play in helping a city's image and its actual day to day quality of life in terms of culture, restaurants, book stores, young people walking around and nerds. Richard Florida's thesis on the creative class may be partially at work here but the true "exogenous" institution drawing the creative through a social multiplier effect is the major university.
If this thesis is wrong, then you name a fun , hip city that doesn't have a great university. I can think of downtown San Francisco as one counter-example but Berkeley is close.

Providence Begins to See Its Future Around the Corner
By DONNA PAUL
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — This is a city of 25 diverse neighborhoods, many with distinctive New England character, but it is Downcity that is the urban core and the city's historical heart.
Downcity is centered on Westminster Street, an urban thoroughfare lined with a cohesive ensemble of 18th- and 19th-century neo-Classical-style and Italianate mercantile buildings, made of brick, limestone and cast iron.
Until the middle of the 20th century, it was a vibrant shopping district, perhaps the most prominent in the state, whose residents used to talk about going "downcity" rather than "downtown." It offered chic clothing shops, jewelers, tailors, salons and a number of local department stores: Shepard's, Peerless and Gladdings.
But once the venerable tenants left, the buildings were vacant for years. Today, different kinds of stores are opening here. Cheese shops, design stores and restaurants are setting up in these stately buildings, hoping first-floor retail spaces will capture the attention of new residents in the area.
There has long been talk of a renaissance in Downcity, which covers a 36-block area, about a quarter mile long and a third of a mile wide, and progress has been made.
"In 1990, you could have thrown a bowling ball down Westminster Street," said Thomas Deller, director of planning and development for the city and executive director of the Providence Redevelopment Agency.
"Everything in Downcity continues to evolve," he said. "What happens in good city planning is the ability to keep a pulse of what's happening, to make sure that the plan is clear about what you want to achieve." He added: "Here's a city that has figured it out."
Arnold B. Chace, 60, owner, president and chief executive of Cornish Associates, a real estate development firm, has been a seminal figure in the redevelopment of Downcity.
Today, there are residential lofts, a bookstore, a cafe, a college library, stores, a wine shop, restaurants, arts organizations, theater companies and a hotel in Downcity. Many occupy buildings owned by Cornish.
According to Mr. Chace, Cornish Associates has acquired eight buildings since 1991, paying as little as $3 to $10 a square foot. To date, his company has committed $80 million to restore them.
As Mr. Chace, who is known as Buff, tells it, his interest in Downcity dates to a day in 1991 when he was looking at buildings that had been foreclosed, accompanied by his twins, who were then 7 years old. "I was explaining to them about what had happened here, and my daughter asked me, 'Why don't you do something about it?' " Mr. Chace said.
That elicited a response. "The very heart of our city was in disrepair, and I became committed to rebuilding that heart," he said.
He helped to persuade the mayor, Vincent Cianci, and the Providence Foundation, a nonprofit group that works on redevelopment, to sponsor a five-day program in 1991 to analyze the downtown and develop a master plan to revitalize its core. A leading participant was the architect and New Urbanism advocate Andrés Duany.
There were two more such planning sessions involving Mr. Duany, in 1994 and 2005, and a master plan was adopted by the city after the 1994 meeting.
For the revitalization of Downcity, Mr. Chace has been guided by the principles laid out in the plan: walkable streets; continuous retailing, with no offices on ground floors; and mixed use.
But the effort to attract retailers was undercut when the huge Providence Place Mall, with about 1.3 million square feet and 170 stores, including Nordstrom and Macy's, opened about a half-mile away in August 1999.
Cornish Associates shifted its focus to housing. It has created 196 loft apartments by renovating the eight buildings. About 95 percent of the apartments are occupied, roughly a fifth by artists. The lofts range from 550 to 2,700 square feet and rent for $500 to $3,000 a month.
None of this could have happened without significant tax credits. "It took a major effort, changes in zoning, and getting legislation passed to make this work," Mr. Deller said. Federal and state historic tax credits return 20 and 30 percent of the total rehabilitation expenses respectively to the developer of a project in a historic district.
In 1999, additional incentives to attract artists were passed, including a proposal pushed by Mr. Cianci that artwork created in the district would not be subject to sales tax, nor would artists be subject to state income tax.
Three universities — the University of Rhode Island, Rhode Island School of Design, and Johnson & Wales — own property in Downcity. There are also a number of arts organizations, including the Trinity Repertory Company, the Providence Performing Arts Center and the Black Repertory Theater.
AS220, a nonprofit artist group, currently owns and operates two buildings. Umberto Crenca founded the group at 220 Weybosset Street in 1985; the name, short for Artist Space 220, is supposed to evoke P. S. 1, the contemporary art center in Queens.
He began in a single room, but in 1993, Lucie Searle, a developer, assisted the organization in buying a 22,000-square-foot- building for $400,000. A second building was bought in 2005 using tax credits. AS220 is about to buy its third building for more than $1 million.
Retail spaces have been slower to fill, and this is a problem in Downcity. "Critical mass must be created for an infrastructure of services to come in," Mr. Chace said, citing dry cleaners, groceries and drugstores as the kinds of businesses that are needed.
In 2003, Mr. Chace offered extraordinary leases to his first retail tenants. "I allowed tenants to enter deals without rent, and I took a percentage of sales," he said. He now lists annual asking rents of around $20 a square foot. At Providence Place Mall, the annual rents are about $75 or $80 a square foot.
The attractive rents have helped attract independent shop owners. Heejun Arms, 38, opened Elsa Arms, a store selling designer clothing, one year ago on Westminster Street. She was drawn to the high ceilings. "I couldn't find this anywhere else," Ms. Arms said.
George Germon and Johanne Killeen, prominent Providence chefs who own the restaurant Al Forno, which has operated for 28 years in another part of the city, are about to create a new venture in Downcity. Their restaurant-wine bar, called Tini, is to open in April.
Michael Corso, 37, who has worked for Cornish Associates, opened Tazza Caffe in late 2003, signing a 10-year lease. His goal was to create a European style neighborhood espresso bar. "We have a dynamic bunch coming in here: artists, professionals, politicians," he said.
David N. Cicilline, the current mayor, is optimistic about Downcity. "People are living here for the first time in a long time," he said.
Mr. Crenca, the artist, notes there is more to be done, however. "We are at a very critical juncture," he said. "Others need to step up to the plate."

City administrator good first step
To say we're excited about the hiring of Michael Yanez as the city's first city administrator is accurate. To say the hard part has just begun is the understatement of the year. Yanez inherits a staff that will not only have to learn to deal with a new boss, but the city's first full-time boss. City administration is one of several facets in which Eudora, long-accustomed to operating as a small town, will have to deal with the infrastructure demands of a growing population.
With Yanez's leadership, we expect accountability will go up, productivity should follow, and results will ultimately be the measuring stick of Yanez's effectiveness in his job. For those doing their jobs, the addition of daily feedback and constructive coaching will be a welcome new component to their careers. It's likely there will be some turnover from those uncomfortable with a new layer of bureaucracy or management, depending on your point of view. Yanez will have to determine who's with him and build a coalition he feels comfortable working with that will make the city a better place to live. He'll also have to figure out who needs attention and who can do their job without their boss looking over their shoulder all day.
We know little about his management style: will he be a task-master, will he be hands-on, micromanaging every detail, or will he let good people do their jobs and manage up or manage out those who need it?
Whatever his style, he'll have to figure out the best way to balance working with council members to move projects forward while also helping them learn where the inefficiencies are. Finding better ways to conduct the city's business can be a precarious task, but we're confident the city council will trust Yanez to do the job he was hired to do.
After all we've written in this space about the council's delay in hiring an administrator, today we applaud the mayor and the council for moving forward. Unfortunately for them, the honeymoon was a short one. Yanez didn't even have his bags unpacked before he showed up at his first budget workshop.
We conclude with a message for each party affected by Yanez's hiring. To the city staff, we say give your new boss the kind of Eudora welcome that makes this a special place to live. Tell him how he can help you be more effective in your position and what your expectations are. To the city council, we say congratulations; we're happy to see this progress. To Yanez, we say welcome to Eudora. We know you'll come to love it as we do. We hope you're not afraid of hard work there's plenty to be done. Finally, to the community, show your city administrator that what happens in this town is important to you. Exercise your right as a citizen by participating in your hometown governance by attending council meetings and, more importantly, voting.

Making 'Green' More Affordable
Lisa Prevost / June 27, 2013
Consumer demand for high-efficiency homes is rising. But the value of "green" isn't always factored in by appraisers, and is typically ignored by mortgage lenders.
A bipartisan Senate bill supported by a broad coalition of business, real estate, energy and environmental groups seeks to put energy cost savings into the underwriting equation. Called the SAVE Act (for Sensible Accounting to Value Energy), the legislation could make energy-efficient features more affordable to average-income home buyers by allowing them to qualify for a larger loan amount.
The legislation wouldRead More

Also known as: Posting Clerk, Billing Clerk, Financial Administration Clerk, Finance And Administration Clerk, Finance Administration Clerk.
Financial clerks govern many different financial transactions in businesses by keeping track of a company's money and interacting with customers. These individuals primarily perform administrative work for banking, insurance, and other companies. They keep records, help customers, and carry out financial transactions.
Would you make a good financial clerk? Sokanu's free assessment reveals how compatible you are with a career across 5 dimensions!Take the free career test
A vast number of industries exist within the financial clerk field. Financial clerks at a bank might help a customer to deposit a large sum of money or to figure out which type of account would best suit a particular customer. At an insurance company, financial clerks could keep files of payments that have come in and of payments that are still due.
Billing and posting clerks figure out how much customers owe and send bills out to the customer, whereas procurement clerks keep track of the supplies and purchases while also dealing with questions about orders. Gaming cage clerks play a role in managing money at casinos, and new accounts clerks discuss and interview individuals who are interested in opening new accounts at a bank or other type of financial institution. Other roles in this field include payroll and timekeeping clerks, credit authorizers, checkers and clerks, loan interviewers and insurance claims, and policy processing clerks.
The work environment varies depending on the specific job. A busy bank is going to require a person who is ready to work at all times, while a small insurance company with a few clients might have some part-time openings. The handbook notes that many financial clerk jobs are standard office jobs; however, gaming clerks could have hours at any time since casinos are generally open 24 hours per day.
In 2010, most of the jobs in this field were full-time; however, 16 percent of jobs in the billing and posting clerk industry were part-time. In the same year, there were approximately 1.4 million employed financial clerks. Additionally, 18 percent worked in credit mediation services, 18 percent were insurance carriers or in similar occupations, 11 percent were ambulatory health care services, and 7 percent were in the professional, scientific, and technical services field. Together, these fields account for more than half of the entire industry.
As for the future of this industry, Student Scholarships reports that jobs will continue to grow at an average rate. Reasons cited for this level of growth include the fact that there will be an average amount of retirement providing jobs for new workers, and the number of people looking for jobs will probably match the number of open jobs. Furthermore, there is a high turnover rate in this field as noted by the University of Missouri-St. Louis.

Last Night: Quadron at Commonwealth Lounge
Categories: Last Night reviews
|Beth Stirnaman/OC Weekly
The Hype: In the middle of a successful pack of U.S. club dates, the down-tempo Danes of Quadron are quickly becoming Copenhagen's brightest aural export since, uh...well...the names are escaping us now. But judging by the push they've received from KCRW (89.9 FM) and throngs of local fans, it appears we Americans love us some Danish R&B. So when it was announced that the group would make a detour into Fullerton's Commonwealth Lounge, we anticipated on of the best Wednesday night soul sessions the club has seen in a while. Turns out we were right.
The Show: Though she remained indelibly composed for most of the night, Coco O.'s wide-eyed stare into the Commonwealth crowd was indicative of Quadron's genuine surprise over their warm welcome to the States. But given the sultry, finger-snapping vibes of their debut album, it was obvious that this sleek, dim lit watering hole full of anxious admirers put the band right in their element.
Standing in front of a four-piece band, the poised 22-year-old vocalist emitted a slow leak of high pitched runs, as horns, bass and percussion played along to delicate beats from blazing laptop screens. Robin Hannibal, the groups musical arranger, was content to stay off stage, managing the sound boards. For the first few minutes, Coco's fragile falsettos got a bit overwhelmed by the backing tracks. But the band's soft, understated genius quickly hit its stride during "Unpatience," as meandering jazz vocals simmered with passion and sparse outbursts of attitude over a rolling barrage of hoots and hollers from the packed dance floor.
The wave of two-step jams continued the swinging throughout their set with Motown-tinged horns of "Pressure" while the band switched dutifully between laid-back lounge music and tender, blue-eyed soul. Not merely content to entertain the crowd with song, Coco toyed with her audience throughout the set, espousing her love for Fullerton's local clothing stores. Apparently the sea green marching band jacket she wore over her tight skirt was bought across the street. Look's like OC fashions are slowly going worldwide.
Though the band played for a little less than an hour, they made room for almost all the sonic gems from their album. The blissful, smoldering tones of "Day" and "Buster Keaton" were obvious favorites. But some of the best energy came from the clap-heavy fervor of "Jeans." As the band prepared to wrap things up with "Slippin'" voices in the crowd shouted out the infectious retro pop song: "I'm slipping but you can't get me off the dance floor / It's too much of a comfort zone."
There was obviously some truth to those words as the band answered the crowds demand for an encore. However, they chose to end things on with another slow jam--a moody Danish cover of "Herfra Hvar vi Star" by German composer Niels Skousen. Complicated pronunciations aside, most Quadron fans can attest to the song's quiet beauty that blooms with tranquil guitar chords. It's the kind of song that reminds us of the band's ability to harness the kind of soft simplicity with the surprising power to knock you on your ass.

nBSG: Michael Trucco's Accident and Anders' Storyline

nBSG: Michael Trucco's Accident and Anders' Storyline
I have read that Michael Trucco was injured in a car accident in 2007. I am assuming that, although he was able to continue in his role on nBSG, his spinal injury prevented him from acting and moving at his full potential and that is why he went into the 'Tub'. (Maybe I am wrong on this last assumption-- I do not know).
I am assuming that the actor's unfortunate injury may have given one/some of the writers an idea of how to shape the course of the developing revelations of the story of the Final Five.
I get the idea that the 'resolution' and ending of the series kind of got made up as they went along towards the end. Has anyone ever heard if there had been a plot line they were following initially that got abandoned in favor of using Anders as they did?

HYSTERIA, a mischievously inspired romantic comedy set in the late 19th century, is based on the surprising truth of how Mortimer Granville came up with the world's first electromechanical vibrator in the name of medical science. The film stars Academy Award nominee Maggie Gyllenhaal and Hugh Dancy, alongside Jonathan Pryce, Rupert Everett and Felicity Jones.

Move over, big sister, you've got company.
Casey Danielson of Osceola, Wis., joined her older sister, Lindsay, as Wisconsin's only four-time individual golf champions when she shot a final-round 1-over-par 73 on Tuesday, Oct. 9, to cruise to the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association's Division 2 title at Cherokee Country Club in Madison.
She finished the 36-hole tournament at 5-under 139 after opening with a 66 on Monday.
The Osceola High School senior had a 12-stroke lead over Edgerton's Brooke Ferrell entering the final round and stretched that to 14 on Tuesday. Ferrell was runner-up with a 153 total after a second-round 75.
It was the fourth consecutive WIAA state title for Danielson, who has given an oral commitment to play at Stanford. Her sister Lindsay, who plays at the University of Wisconsin, is the only other to win four in a row, taking titles from 2005-08 -- and giving the Danielson sisters a lock on the past eight Division 2 championships.
The Danielson family has won nine Wisconsin titles altogether. Charlie Danielson won the 2010 WIAA Division 2 boys championship.
Brittany Neff of Hayward was sixth at 162, and teammate Emilee McCusker placed 10th at 165.
Edgewood shot 674 to win the Division 2 team title by one shot over The Prairie School.
Homestead shot 671 to take the Division 1 team title by nine shots over Kettle Moraine. Jessica Reinecke of Verona was the big-school champion with a three-stroke victory over Emily Stoers of Waukesha South/North/West.

Central Idaho fire burning closer to two posh resort communities
Hailey, Idaho • Fire crews on Saturday faced another challenging day battling a rapidly growing wildfire burning closer to two posh, central Idaho resort communities.
Idaho's Beaver Creek Fire grew by 15 square miles late Friday and early Saturday, to 144 square miles. Overnight, flames moved closer to homes and subdivisions in the mountains west and north of the communities of Hailey and Ketchum, and the Sun Valley Resort.
So far, authorities have issued mandatory evacuations for 1,600 residences in this smoke-shrouded valley. More homeowners, along with the growing camp of firefighters and support staff, could be asked to move Saturday depending on fire activity, fire officials said.
The blaze was started by lightning Aug. 7. It expanded significantly Friday, burning through tinder-dry brush and timber in the mountains west of the towns. Efforts Saturday were focused on protecting homes and structures in the gulches and foothills just west of Hailey and Ketchum.
Crews also planned to target erratic, wind-driven fire growth in one area north of Ketchum and two locations west of Hailey.
For now, that battle is taking place on the ground because heavy smoke has grounded air tankers capable of dumping retardant and water on the perimeters.
Fire managers and more than 700 firefighters are bracing for another dose of hot temperatures and afternoon wind gusts up to 30 mph that could move flames closer to homes. Hundreds of more firefighters will be arriving Saturday as other fires in Idaho and other western states die down.
"This fire is consuming everything," fire spokeswoman Madonna Lengerich said. "The fire is so hot it's just cremating even the biggest trees."
The tight valley that bookends these communities and serve as vacation getaways for celebrities like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Tom Hanks is covered in thick smoke.
Downtown retail and dining districts, normally buzzing this time of year with tourists and summer residents, are quiet, and some merchants haven't even bothered to open for Saturday breakfast and lunch.
Ketchum, with a population of 2,700, and Sun Valley, with 1,400 people, also are under "pre-evacuation orders." Authorities have told them to be ready to leave if necessary.
On Friday, Sun Valley Ski Resort officials turned on water cannons, used for wintertime snowmaking, to protect lodges on the mountain and ski lift equipment.
In addition to the government firefighters, some private insurers have sent in their own crews to provide structural protection for homes with values that can stretch into the millions of dollars, Blaine County Sheriff Spokeswoman Bronwyn Nickel said.
"There are private engines that insurance companies have sent in," she said. "They're on site. They're working with our local firefighters and law enforcement."

There are nearly 11 million undocumented immigrants in the United States, including at least 267,000 who are also lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT). The current broken system harms, scapegoats and vilifies all immigrants, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, and their friends and families. In many areas, such as detention, asylum, labor and marriage, the system disproportionately harms LGBT people. For these reasons, comprehensive federal immigration reform is an urgent priority for our nation and the LGBT community.
Organizations can sign on to support humane immigration reforms, and take the pledge to treat others with dignity and respect. Click to sign on.
Statement of Principles for Immigration Reform
Working with immigrant rights organizations, a number of LGBT groups are committed to doing all we can to educate the LGBT and broader community about the importance of comprehensive immigration reform (CIR). We will also focus long-term on community education and engagement efforts that bring together all communities to foster mutual respect and support. We are strongly committed to elevating the leadership, experiences and visibility of LGBT undocumented immigrants within both the LGBT movement and the immigrant rights movement. Organizations wishing to sign on to these principles click here.
Through community education and engagement, we hope to secure a groundswell of support for federal reform among LGBT people and allies, and build durable relationships across all communities and organizations. We call for a bipartisan solution that establishes a pathway to citizenship; protects all families; puts an end to an unjust enforcement system that has torn families apart; protects the rights and working conditions of all workers; upholds border communities' human rights; and accords all immigrants the rights and responsibilities required for full integration into American society.
We recognize that getting over the finish line will be full of ups and downs. We are committed to working with allies to achieve reform that addresses all of the six principles listed below and leaves no one behind. No matter how challenging the road, however, we will stand with our allies through the end of the process.
Reform Must Provide a Pathway to Citizenship
We stand in solidarity as partners with the immigrant rights movement in opposing efforts to create a permanent status for new Americans that falls short of citizenship. The road to citizenship should not be dependent on an undue emphasis on border security nor contain roadblocks or unrealistic barriers to citizenship that would cut out many immigrants, including day laborers, domestic workers, caretakers and those with a history of minor offenses. In particular, we oppose barriers that would disproportionately exclude LGBT people who are out of work due to discrimination or who are made more vulnerable as a consequence of their identities.
Immigration Reform Must Ensure that Family Unity Remains at the Heart of Immigration Law and Policy
Immigration reform should protect the unity of all families, including LGBT families, by permitting separated families to reunite, permitting same-sex couples in binational relationships to sponsor immigrant visas and other protections as expressed in the Uniting American Families Act (UAFA), and preserving the family-based immigration system. The enforcement system must be sensitive to family needs, protect parents' and children's rights, and include adequate discretionary mechanisms to protect families against separation.
Immigration Reform Must End Unjust Detentions and Deportations
Harsh enforcement laws and policies disproportionately hurt women, members of the LGBT community, people with HIV/AIDS, and people of color. We support reform efforts that include scaling back laws and policies which have resulted in massive deportations of aspiring citizens; ensure that all persons detained are treated humanely and granted access to quality medical and mental health care, counsel, legal information, and other protections; ensure the protection of refugees, women, LGBT people, people with HIV/AIDS, and other vulnerable migrants in detention. The immigration system must provide decision-makers with sufficient discretion to make fair, individualized determinations. We oppose local law enforcement entanglement in the enforcement of immigration laws.
Immigration Reform Must Uphold Labor and Employment Standards and Should Ensure that the Enforcement of Immigration Law Does Not Undermine Labor and Employment Rights
Many LGBT people face discrimination in employment. We will stand in solidarity with our partners in the immigrant rights movement in opposing any efforts to exempt classes of immigrant workers from wage and hour standards and health and safety standards. We oppose an immigration system that ties workers to employers without protecting them from discrimination. We oppose efforts to create unrealistic, unfair and unreliable employment verification standards for immigrants, including those involved in domestic work, in order to access a pathway to citizenship.
Immigration Reform Must Promote a Dignified Quality of Life for Border Communities by Establishing Oversight Mechanisms to Ensure Border Agencies Uphold Basic Civil and Human Rights Protections
We support reform efforts that establish modern, efficient and safe ports-of-entry. We oppose efforts to postpone opening or making a roadmap to citizenship for new Americans contingent upon "border security" metrics.
Immigration Reform Must Not Relegate Immigrant Members of Our Community to Permanent Second-Class Status
We stand against efforts that would strip immigrants of the rights and responsibilities that fully integrated members of our communities deserve, including access to student aid, health care and other benefits.
We urge our nation's leaders to address a solution that embodies these key principles in order to put our nation back on the road of creating a unified society that values the contributions of all of its citizens, new and old.

What are the methodologies which are followed when someone wants to test a method in a class in different ways by passing different parameters(positive and Negative testcases)?
I have a method call validate(String a) in a class named Validator. If I want to write a test class for this, I create a class called TestValidator and then write a method named testValidate(). Now I want to call the Validate method by passing a Valid String, an Invalid String etc. Should I need to write 2 mehtods like testValidate1 and testValidate2 or are there any other methodologies for achieving this? I was thinking about a switch block, but need to know if this is an industry followed methodology.
I think this should be a common problem for anybody who is using JUnit. But I didn't get much information when I searched for the same.
Can somebody help me out.
Thanks in Advance.

BED To Purchase Power From Vermont Wind
NAW Staff, Thursday 26 February 2009 - 01:00:00
Vermont's Burlington Electric Department (BED) has reached agreement with First Wind on behalf of its subsidiary, Vermont Wind LLC, to buy 40% of the power and the renewable energy certificates at the 40 MW Sheffield Wind project for the next 10 years under a fixed-price agreement.
"BED has a goal of being 100 percent renewable in the next four or so years," says Barbara Grimes, general manger for BED. "This contract will help us achieve our goal. Stably priced, clean, green and locally generated power is the way to keep our economy strong and our environment clean."
The project was granted a certificate of public good by the Public Service Board in 2007.

"A lost unknown classic"
House of Pain and Beat Around The Bush were released in 1973 & 1974 on RCA Records. The music on these albums is hard to categorize. At once smile provoking, but with an edgy, knowing intelligence, the songs visit themes encompassing the profound, the ironic, and the bizarre. Sarah's piano stylings are often phrased with a tension that adds greatly to the merriment. House of Pain features the great Tony Levin on bass. - Jim Quist

|Sarah's feature film "The Hairy Bird" (aka, All I Wanna Do) contains 3 newly written Kernochan songs. The song The Hairy Bird, which runs over the closing credits, is a delightful parody that truly could induce castration anxiety in more sensitive listeners. That song marked the re-birth of the singing group The Fingernails.

SQL Server Latch & Debugging latch time out
Posted by Karthick P.K on September 7, 2012
In a multithreaded process what would happens when a one thread updates a data or index page in memory while second thread is reading the same page?
What will happen when 1st thread reads a data/index page in memory while 2nd thread is freeing the same page from memory?
Answer: We would end up with data or data structure inconsistency. To avoid inconsistency SQL Server uses Synchronization Mechanisms like Locks,Latches and Spinlocks.
We will discuss few key points about latches and how to debug latch timeout dumps in this blog.
What is Latch ?
They control the concurrent access to data pages and structures by multiple threads. Latches provide physical data consistency of data pages and provide synchronization for data structures. Latches are not controllable by user like locks.
Types of the Latch:
Buffer (BUF) Latch
Used to synchronize access to BUF structures and their associated database pages.
Buffer "IO" Latch
A subset of BUF latches used when the BUF and associated data/index page is in the middle of an IO operation (Reading page from disk or writing page to disk).
Non-Buffer (Non-BUF) Latch
These are latches that are used to synchronize general in-memory data structures generally used by queries/tasks executed by parallel threads, auto grow operations , shrink operations etc.
Latch modes
Keep (KP) Latches
Used to ensure that the page is not released from memory while it is in use.
Shared (SH) Latches
Used for read-only access to data structures and prevent write access by others threads.
This mode allows shared access.
SH is compatible with KP, SH, and UP. It should be noted that although in general SH implies read-only access, it is not always the case. For buffer latches SH is the minimum mode required in order to read a data page.
Update (UP) Latches
Allows read access to the data structure(Compatible with SH and KP), but prevents other EX-latch access.
Used for write operations when torn page detection is off and when AWE is not enabled.
Exclusive (EX) Latches
Prevents any read activity from occurring on the latched structure. EX is only compatible with KP.
Used during read IO during write IO when torn page detection is on or AWE is enabled.
Destroy (DT) Latches
Used when removing BUFs from the buffer pool, either by adding them to the free list or unmapping AWE buffers.
Latch compatibility
How do you identify Latch contention?
Latch contention can be identified using below wait types in sysprocesses.
PAGEIOLATCH_*: This waittype in sysprocesses indicates that SQL Server is waiting on a physical I/O of a buffer pool page to complete.
1. PAGEIOLATCH_* are commonly solved by tuning the queries which are performing heavy IO (Commonly by adding, changing and removing indexes (or) statistics to reduce the amount of physical IO).
2. Identifying if there is disk bottleneck and fixing them (Pageiolatch wait times (ex > 30 ms))
PAGELATCH_*: This waittype in sysprocesses indicates that SQL Server is waiting on access to a database page, but the page is not undergoing physical IO.
1. This problem is normally caused by a large number of sessions attempting to access the same physical page at the same time. We should Look at the wait resource of the spid. The wait_resource is the page number (the format is dbid:file:pageno)
that is being accessed.
2. We can use DBCC PAGE to identify object or type of the page in which we have the contention. Also it will help us to determine whether contention is for allocation, data or text.
3. If the pages that SQL Server is most frequently waiting on are in tempdb database ,check the wait resource column for a page number in dbid 2. You may be facing tempdb allocation latch contention mentioned in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/328551
4. If the page is in a user database, check to see if the table has a clustered index on a monotonic key such as an identity where all threads are contending for the same page at the end of the table. In this case we need to choose a different
clustered index key to spread the work across different pages.
LATCH_*: Non-buf latch waits can be caused by variety of things. We can use the wait resource column in sysprocesses to determine the type of latch involved(KB 822101).
1. A very common LATCH_EX wait is due to running a profiler trace or sp_trace_getdata Refer KB 929728 for more information.
2. Auto Grow and auto shrink.
When a latch is requested by thread and If that latch cannot be granted immediately because of some other thread holding a incompatible latch on same page or data structure then the requestor must wait for the latch to be grantable. Warning messages like one below is printed in SQL Server error log and a mini dump with all the threads is captures if the wait interval reaches 5 minutes (waittime 300). The warning message differs for buffer and non-buffer latches.
844: Time out occurred while waiting for buffer latch — type %d, bp %p, page %d:%d, stat %#x, database id: %d, allocation unit id: %I64d%ls, task 0x%p : %d, waittime %d, flags 0x%I64x, owning task 0x%p. Continuing to wait.
846: A time-out occurred while waiting for buffer latch — type %d, bp %p, page %d:%d, stat %#x, database id: %d, allocation unit Id: %I64d%ls, task 0x%p : %d, waittime %d, flags 0x%I64x, owning task 0x%p. Not continuing to wait.
847: Timeout occurred while waiting for latch: class '%ls', id %p, type %d, Task 0x%p : %d, waittime %d, flags 0x%I64x, owning task 0x%p. Continuing to wait.
Break up of above warning
The latch mode of the current latch acquire request. This is a numerical value with the following mapping: 0 – NL (not used); 1 – KP; 2 – SH; 3 – UP; 4 – EX; 5 – DT.
Task for which we are trying to acquire latch.
The total time waited for this latch acquire request in seconds.
owning task
The address of the Task that owns the latch, if available.
bp (Buffer latches only)
The address of the BUF structure corresponding to this buffer latch.
page (Buffer latches only.)
The page id for the page currently contained in the BUF structure.
database id (Buffer latches only.)
The database id for the page in the BUF.
Like troubleshooting blocking issues in SQL Server when there is a latch contention or timeout dump identify the owner of latch and troubleshoot why the latch is held by the owner for long time.
When there is latch timeout dump you will see a warning message similar to one below. Warning error message printed in SQL server errorlog before the dump is very important to find the owner thread of latch.
2012-01-18 00:52:03.16 spid69 A time-out occurred while waiting for buffer latch — type 4, bp 00000000ECFDAA00, page 1:6088, stat 0x4c1010f, database id: 4, allocation unit Id: 72057594043367424, task 0x0000000006E096D8 : 0, waittime 300, flags 0x19,

From the error message above we can easily understand we are trying to acquire latch on database id: 4, page 1:6088 (6088 page of first file) and we timed out because task 0x0000000006E08328 (owning task 0x0000000006E08328 in warning message) is holding a latch on it.
Note: Task is simply a work request to be performed by the thread. (such as system tasks, login task, Ghost cleanup task etc.). Threads which execute the task will take required latches on need.
Let us see how to analyze latch timeout dump and get the owning thread of the Latch using the owning task 0x0000000006E08328.
To analyze the dump download and Install Windows Debugger from This link
Step 1:
Open Windbg . Choose File menu –> select Open crash dump –>Select the Dump file (SQLDump000#.mdmp)
Step 2:
on command window type
.sympath srv*c:\Websymbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols;
Step 3:
Type .reload /f and hit enter. This will force debugger to immediately load all the symbols.
Step 4:
Verify if symbols are loaded for SQL Server by using the debugger command lmvm
0:002> lmvm sqlservr
start end module name

Step 5:
Use the below command to search thread stack to identify the thread which has reference to the owning task and it will be the thread which is owning the latch. Replace 0X0000000006E08328 with owning task in your errorlog

unsigned int 0x9bc
unsigned int 0x9c0
Step 6:
From the above out put we see thread 0x9b4 has reference to the pointer of owning task and it will be the thread which is owning the latch. Let us switch to the thread(0x9b4 ) which is executing the owning task and
then go through the stack to see why the thread is owning the latch for long time.
Step 7:
~~[0x9b4]s ==> Switching to the thread (Replace 0x9b4 with your thread id which has reference to the po

Step 8:
0:002> kC ==> Print the stack
Call Site
From the above stack we can understand that the thread which is owning the latch is executing checkpoint and flushing cache (Dirty buffers) to disk. If flushing buffers to disk (checkpoint) is taking a long time, then obviously there is disk bottleneck.
Similarly for any other latch time out issues first identify the owner thread of latch, read the stack of owner thread to understand the task performed by owner thread and troubleshoot the performance of task performed by owner thread.
If you want to see the stack of thread which is waiting, then pickup the task (task 0x0000000006E096D8 )from latch timeout warning message in errorlog instead of owning task (task 0x0000000006E08328) and use the command mentioned in step 5.
I hope this post will help you to learn and debug the latch timeout issues.

I love this particular dish because it combines so many things I absolutely love – tasty salted pig bits, blue cheese, and tater salad! It's the perfect Fourth of July dish – and not just because of the cheesy patriotic name. My parents had an absolute look of disgust when I told them I was making this — I guess they were picturing some grotesque, Crayola-bright dish with unnatural ingredients. Crayola belongs in the beautiful yellow box – not in our food. The red is potato, the bleu is cheese…there's nothing crazy about the way this looks in the end…but the taste is crazy good!

- 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1 cup chopped green onions, divided
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3/4 cup sour cream (light works beautifully)
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise (light works too – but if I'm choosing a place to leave a little fat in, this is where I feel the added flavor is worth considering the added fat)
- 1/4 cup or about 1 1/2 oz crumbled bleu cheese (you can definitely choose reduced-fat here!
Optional ingredients:
- 3 garlic cloves, minced *OR*
- 1 Tablespoon fresh dill, minced
Cook bacon. Make sure you include an extra piece to snack on, 'cause it's salty and delicious!! Cool on a paper towel, crumble, and set aside.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. I don't really believe in putting salt in water that's not boiling. There are lots of different takes on it: that salt makes the water boil faster; that salt in a non-boiling pot can pit your cookware…as there seems to be no good answer, I stick with the non-salty water. Anyhoo, boil that water, then add the potatoes and cook them until they're tender but still firm (we call that fork tender 'round these parts), about 12-15 minutes. Drain them and let them cool.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl (so you don't have to wash extra), mix together the vinegar, mayonnaise, sour cream, salt, pepper, and 1/2 cup green onions. **If you use either of the optional ingredients, add them here as well** Once the potatoes have cooled, cut them into cubes, leaving the skins on. Add the taters, bacon, and bleu cheese to the dressing and toss very gently to coat.

Art Form for the Digital Age
Video games shape our culture. It's time we took them seriously.
Last year, Americans bought over 215 million computer and video games. That's more than two games per household. The video game industry made almost as much money from gross domestic income as Hollywood.
So are video games a massive drain on our income, time and energy? A new form of "cultural pollution," as one U.S. senator described them? The "nightmare before Christmas," in the words of another? Are games teaching our children to kill, as countless op-ed pieces have warned?
No. Computer games are art-a popular art, an emerging art, a largely unrecognized art, but art nevertheless.
Over the past 25 years, games have progressed from the primitive two-paddles-and-a-ball Pong to the sophistication of Final Fantasy, a participatory story with cinema-quality graphics that unfolds over nearly 100 hours of play. The computer game has been a killer app for the home PC, increasing consumer demand for vivid graphics, rapid processing, greater memory and better sound. The release this fall of the Sony Playstation 2, coupled with the announcement of next-generation consoles by Nintendo and Microsoft, signals a dramatic increase in the resources available to game designers.
Games increasingly influence contemporary cinema, helping to define the frenetic pace and model the multi-directional plotting of Run Lola Run, providing the role-playing metaphor for Being John Malkovich and encouraging a fascination with the slippery line between reality and digital illusion in The Matrix. At high schools and colleges across the country, students discuss games with the same passions with which earlier generations debated the merits of the New American Cinema. Media studies programs report a growing number of their students want to be game designers rather than filmmakers.
The time has come to take games seriously as an important new popular art shaping the aesthetic sensibility of the 21st century. I will admit that discussing the art of video games conjures up comic images: tuxedo-clad and jewel-bedecked patrons admiring the latest Streetfighter, middle-aged academics pontificating on the impact of Cubism on Tetris, bleeps and zaps disrupting our silent contemplation at the Guggenheim. Such images tell us more about our contemporary notion of art-as arid and stuffy, as the property of an educated and economic elite, as cut off from everyday experience- than they tell us about games.
New York's Whitney Museum found itself at the center of controversy about digital art when it recently included Web artists in its prestigious biannual show. Critics didn't believe the computer could adequately express the human spirit. But they're misguided. The computer is simply a tool, one that offers artists new resources and opportunities for reaching the public; it is human creativity that makes art. Still, one can only imagine how the critics would have responded to the idea that something as playful, unpretentious and widely popular as a computer game might be considered art.

Residents of an east Prattville neighborhood are concerned about a pending rezoning of a parcel of land, and what it could mean for the subdivision.
Pecan Ridge is located off McQueen Smith Road South. At issue is a parcel of about 20 acres to the north of the neighborhood. The land is behind the Russell Do-It Center and Jameson Inn and has access to Cobbs Ford Road and McQueen Smith Road, according to maps at the city's planning department. Developers are seeking to have the entire 20 acres rezoned for the use of multi-family dwellings, or apartments.

Rowans Pursuit Race 2011 was held on 5th June at Mengeham Rythe Sailing Club.
Left to right: David Proctor, Conway Parke, Graeme Macdonald, Anthony Penfold - Rowans Pursuit Race
The annual race was a successful event and despite the entries being low, with only 20 boats taking part compared to 54 in a previous year, the club managed to raise just over £870 for the Rowans Hospice from the entries, a raffle, tombola, donations, craft stall and afternoon teas.
A brisk strong wind and the threat of showers just before the start of the pursuit race may have affected the entry numbers but those who did take part enjoyed the race with a very close finish.
The wind forecast was for a north easterly, force 4 to 5, and a course was laid accordingly. The first boat to start was Conway Parke sailing in a RS Tera followed by four Toppers in hot pursuit. The wind went light soon after the start but the RS Tera maintained a commanding lead until the last leg when it was overtaken in the final seconds of the 2¼ hour race by Anthony Penfold in the leading Solo and two of the Finns. This was one of the most exciting finishes the club has seen in the twelve years of running the Rowans Pursuit Race.
