10 Things I Hate About You 1999
+ Solid story, it's Shakespeare, and a nice tribute to him too
+ Any lame parties and dated lines are fun in an ironic way
+ Good soundtrack
+ Characters were stereotypes but they work well
Overall it's a successful teen rom com but the genre makes it feel meh. As good as John Hughes films but not as funny or relatable as Superbad was.
12 Angry Men 1957
It's alright but has some flaws.
• Having a moment saying "if nobody says not guilty then we won't discuss this anymore" played for tension 20 minutes into the movie is moronic.
• Every point made about dissecting a piece of evidence was laborious
• I tried to see if there was any symbolism in the rain and when they turned the fan on but I couldn't see any.
• Some of the men were borderline caricatures.
It's still entertaining…
21 Jump Street 2012
Their first day of school is hilarious, with Tatum's character failing at being popular by being a bully and then having adventures on drugs. Some reviews pointed out how it mocks teen movie cliches but the second half of the movie plays it straight with an awkward thrown in romante and a "you're off the force" plot point. It just loses the humour.
Abduction 2011
Lily Collins- She's the reason I watched this movie. Hottest girl in the world but she can't act.
Taylor Lautner - Embarrassing how shit he was. Director gave him way too many extreme close ups. It made everyone elses performances oscar worthy in comparison.
Action - That poster shot of him sliding down the side of a building holding a gun? Nah don't expect any mission impossible style stunts here, he was sliding down an escalator after misplacing his gun.…
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter 2012
This movie was so bad it mad me sad.
- The action set pieces disappointed me. It was just very few people on CGI sets made it seem like a cheap reenactment from History channel
- It took itself too seriously like Cowboys and Aliens. After a cool moment where they introduce the famous old beardy Lincoln the film then grinds to a halt with drama about the son dying and Lincoln's guilt. I would have preferred an Army of Darkness style S-mart ending in the Whitehouse.
+ The underground railroad twist was neat.
A Fish Called Wanda 1988
I liked the characters but I didn't laugh once.
A Good Day to Die Hard 2013
+ Some good stunts in the car chase in the first half hour
- most of the action was incomprehensible thanks to editing
- the script was bolted on to the die hard name to sell tickets but it seemed to be a mixture of the hottest video games of 2008; CoD Modern Warfare and GTA IV.
Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry 2012
+ Inspires you to create art, protest and ... tweet
- It cuts to black and shows text for a lot of the film which seems lazy
- Just about a nice guy on twitter who get's slightly bothered by the Chinese police state
- His art didn't even seem great to me
Alice in Wonderland 2010
- Looked worse than a ps3 game. It's always obvious what was cgi and it all looked unimaginative. The final 'epic' fight was just cloned polygons on a checker board floor, like computer animation 101.
- The acting is terrible. Johnny Depp kept using his pirate voice. Ann Hathaway should never be taken seriously as an actress again as she just kept he arms raised with less emotion than a pantomime fairy.
- The changes to the story to make it like a generic fantasy instead of a weird acid trip for kids.
American Beauty 1999
+ As far as dramas go this is incredibly powerful because of how relatable every character is (even while being cliché). We all go through moments about what our purpose is. It also feels private and personal.
+ Dat iconic soundtrack
- Some people make fun of the more iconic artistic moments of the film like how he's jerks off to fucking rose petals and the acting during the floating bag scene ("sometimes the worlds so beautiful I just can't take it"). I can go with it but these criticisms stick in my head.

This company has some small drug conjugate chemotherapy modalities that could be the next big thing. Their small drug conjugates provide a novel way to introduce therapy inside a cancer cell. They have been incredibly close to a major breakthrough. Their cash on hand is worth about $4/sh. The stock values their patented technology worth $1.63/sh (about). Crazy. Look into this company further!
might be similar to what IMCL did from 7 to 70 few years ago, similar situation right now.
pipeline drugs
I agree that the market over-corrected on bad news, and the forward prospects have merit.
High risk venture recently beaten down by failure of a CT. This ignores the enormous potential if mid-trial success in the much larger lung cancer trials pans out in the long run. Worth a shot at this price.
When Endocyte ran over 16 in July I was skeptical of the steep climb and cautioned longs that it might be wise to take some gains off the table. The stock proceeded to run as high as 19, so when it began to drop back down I was quick to close my red thumb when I had a winning score. The stock has continued to drop, however, to a degree I find surprising given the potential effect of upcoming catalysts. A CHMP decision on conditional approval of vintafolide is still expected before the end of 2013, topline PFS data from the TARGET phase IIb trial of vintafolide in NSCLC is expected in Q1 2014, and an interim analysis of the PROCEED phase III trial of vintafolide in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer is planned for H1 2014.
There's an obvious overhang to these catalysts, which is the failure of vintafolide to demonstrate an overall survival benefit in the PRECEDENT phase II trial in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer in 2011. That failure could result in a rejection of vintafolide by CHMP and could also be a negative indicator for the outcomes of ongoing trials. A recent Seeking Alpha article from PropThink briefly reversed the downward momentum in the stock but selling and decline have resumed. Notable recent insider and institutional activity has included 15000 shares sold by the CEO and a VP between 14 and 18, as well as a substantial reduction in holdings by healthcare hedge fund Orbimed.
Is the smart money exiting Endocyte ahead of a negative CHMP recommendation on vintafolide? Very possibly. This stock is certainly not for the conservative biopharma trader as it could get cut in half again with the negative catalyst. On the other hand, proof of "regulatory concept" for the drug could initiate a renewed steep climb to a billion dollar valuation. One approach might be to wait for the current downward decline to clearly stabilize, enter gingerly ahead of CHMP. and then attempt to recover any losses by carefullly playing an overreaction in the case of a rejection.
ECYT Will and has made millions of dollars and this is just the beginning. Unless they have an unseen setback with their drugs in the pipeline. My prediction is the stock quadruples x2
heavy insider trading
Endocyte Inc. (ECYT) is a bio-pharmaceutical Company developing targeted therapies for the treatment of cancer and inflammatory diseases. It uses its proprietary technology to create novel small molecule drug conjugates, or SMDCs, and companion imaging diagnose. Company website - http://www.endocyte.com/
The company currently has three product candidates in phase I clinical trials and one product in a phase II clinical trial.
Reason for the dramatic drop in the share price:
The company's stock plunged over 65 percent to $3.57 after it
released disappointing results from supplemental analyses of a
Phase II clinical trial for its cancer therapy EC145. Endocyte has
been testing the compound in conjunction with other cancer-fighting
agents in women with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. The
analyses showed that EC145 did not help patients live longer.
My reason for recommending this obviously speculative stock is not because of its future prospects. In fact, I really could care less about its future prospects. The reason I am recommending this stock is because it's currently trading at just about its Net Current Asset Value (NCAV). Normally I try to avoid stocks that trade at or below their NCAV. Most of the time they are either Chinese small caps (frauds) or the current assets are mostly made up of inventory. This company on the other had is one of those rare opportunities, it is not a fraud and 99 percent of the current assets are made up of cash and short-term investments.
The company's NCAV is $120.89 million, and that's after removing prepaid expenses. Below are my calculations:
Current Assets – Prepaid Expenses = 140.00 – 0.81 = 139.19
Total Liabilities = 18.30
Current Assets – Total Liabilities = 139.19 - 18.30 = 120.89
Another thing I liked about this particular biotech is that its cash burn rate is very low. According to my calculations the company's average monthly cash burn rate is about $1.507 million. I calculated this by dividing the company's annual Free Cash Flow (negative) and dividing it by 12 (months). I was able to acquire 3 years' worth of financial statements so I calculated the cash burn rate by taking the average of the 3 years. (This company only recently went public, which is the reason I was only able to get 3 years of financial statements.)
The company has a total of $138.87 million in cash and short-term investments. By dividing this number by the cash burn rate ($1.507 million), I have come to the conclusion that the company can survive for about 92.15 months or 7.68 years. This is if they don't take on any additional debt or sell more stock.
As you can see by now there is a large margin of safety here. If this stock continues dropping it could be a huge bargain! All of the company's future prospects are not of any concern to me. If the company does develop some new life-changing drug it will just be icing on the cake.
Based on the assumption the ovarian cancer drug is effective.

Many of the early settlers of Barbados eventually moved to the mainland and settled in Virginia, Georgia, the Carolinas and other colonies, with the result that many families in America today trace their origins in the New World first to Barbados. Barbados's surviving parish registers were all copied during the mid-19th century and deposited in a central registry. And it is these copied parish registers, housed in the Barbados Department of Archives, which form the basis of this reference work.This volume of wills is abstracted from the "Recopied Wills Series" in the Archives.

|Evil and Violence
|News Releases - General Info
|Written by Cain Connections
|Monday, 17 December 2012 15:46
By HERMAN CAIN - Only love can prevail.The Governor of Connecticut summed up the tragedy that hit the small town of Newtown, Connecticut in four words. Evil visited this town. The tragedy was not just violence. It was evil because a young man shot his mother in the face and killed her. He killed 20 innocent young children, and six innocent adults. And then he killed himself. Some of us saw what evil looks like for the first time. Yet others have seen evil before.
Immediately, some media personalities and political activists started calling for more gun laws, more money to be spent on mental health treatment, better security systems and procedures at schools, and more censorship of violent entertainment in our culture.
As my CainTV colleague Dan Calabrese so eloquently and convincingly pointed out on Saturday, there is nothing we can do to prevent evil. We can minimize violence, but evil can only be minimized with the recognition and love of God in one's heart. This is not a sermon. It's just a fact that 90 percent of us believe, in one religious form or another.
I'm reminded of a recent incident reported in Florida where an atheist filed a lawsuit against a church for its religious displays. The man got seriously ill and the church reached out to him to help save his life. He survived because of their help. Afterwards, the atheist started attending that church and learned of their Christian faith, and saw that the love of God eminating from them and others was sincere. He had been a recipient of their love. He later joined their church congregation.
That's the power of love over evil.
Freedom of religion is a tenant of the founding of our nation. It does not promote a specific form of worship or religion. But that freedom does allow for the belief and love of a POWER greater than man. That same POWER has a love for us greater than man could ever imagine. HIS love is the only weapon against evil.
We can only pray for the families of the victims of this evil tragedy in Newtown, that God will somehow comfort them in their sorrow, their grieving and their healing. Although the rest of the nation was indirectly affected by this evil incident, it was still a direct blow to the compassion in our hearts, as we try to comprehend why it happened and only imagine the pain of those who lost loved ones and children.

Overall financial situation
Please think about your net worth, or your total assets including any real estate equity minus your debts. Compared to 12 months ago, is your net worth:
Twenty-six percent of those 50 and older say their net worth is lower today than a year ago, compared to about 16 percent of those younger than 50.
Nearly 3 in 10 men (28 percent) say their net worth is higher, compared to 20 percent of women.
About 3 in 10 college grads and those with some college say their net worth is higher, but 18 percent of those with a high school diploma at most said the same.

"Last year in 2011, the market was basically flat."
I am not surprised by the results. It is in line with what I hear from clients during our discussions. Last year in 2011, the market was basically flat, so therefore, the majority of clients feel their net worth is about the same, not higher and not lower, than a year ago. In addition, real estate values are stable, not increasing by much in the last year. So, while clients may not feel totally secure about their financial future and the state of our economy, they also do not feel less secure than they did a year ago.

Last Updated 28th of July, 2010
Is there a late fee or penalty for expired vehicle registration in Pennsylvania? Pennsylvania
PA Late Fees and Penalties for Late Vehicle RegistrationAlthough late fees are not assessed for updating an expired motor vehicle registration in PA, penalties are incurred for operating an unregistered motor vehicle. To avoid these penalties, register your vehicle as soon as possible.
Renewing Pennsylvania Car Registration
Within 30-60 days of your vehicle registration expiration, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) will send you a car registration renewal form to your home address.
If you do not receive your registration renewal form in the mail, you can download a renewal application at the PennDOT website and mail it into PennDOT. To save time and a postage stamp, you can also process your registration renewal online.
It takes about 5-10 minutes to complete the online registration renewal. Use your credit card to pay the $36 annual vehicle registration renewal fee online. Motorcycle registrations cost $18 annually.
Data required on the PA registration renewal form (print or online) includes:
- Your motor vehicle mileage.
- Auto insurance company name.
- Insurance policy number.
- Car insurance policy start and end dates.
Pennsylvania Vehicle Fees and Penalties
Complete Form MV-371 (Application for Retired Persons $10 Processing Fee on a Vehicle Registration) if you receive Social Security Insurance benefits. Should you qualify for "Retired Status" it will only cost $10 for you to renew your registration. This fee is basic and does not include a late fee charge.
Motor vehicle registration renewal fees for trucks and commercial motor vehicles are based upon the class and weight of the vehicle.
One of the penalties that you could receive for driving an unregistered car is a traffic ticket. Because points are accessed to your drivers license when you receive a PA traffic ticket, this penalty could increase your car insurance rates.

Lydia Mendoza, the great, legendary First Star of Tejano Music, The Meadowlark of the Border, The Songstress of the Poor, started her recording career as a 12 year old girl in 1928 and continued to record for 6 decades.
On these previously unissued recordings, originally recorded for Falcon Records in the 1970's, she is accompanied here by her own 12-string guitar, mariachis, and a fine orchestra, which includes a superb accordionist. Lydia Mendoza's records on Falcon not only sold throughout Texas and the United States but throughout the Spanish speaking Western Hemisphere.

"On this CD we get a chance to hear Mendoza in some of her best recordings done for Falcon Records in the 1970s. She has a fine voice and sings with passion. The band behind her is excellent, with great accordion, guitar and even some tasteful brass, providing counterpoint and support to her vocals. The styles of music are varied, with selections from Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban and other Latin rhythms and styles. It's no wonder her music was accepted throughout the diverse Spanish-speaking world. A great recording for anyone who wants to broaden his or her musical horizons, or just to enjoy some great singing."

What's more, local GOP leaders were shocked by the decisive Obama victory, seeing a vote that adds urgency to bring Latinos into the Republican Party in a county where Latino voting power has grown as their party's registration has shrunk.
Here are some other political changes, city by city:
IRVINE: Larry Agran loses his bid to regain the role of mayor to Stephen Choi. Though Agran will finish his four-year stint on the council, the vote signals a big shift in city politics. PAGE 5
COSTA MESA: Residents vote against privatizing many of the city services. Now what? PAGE 14
ORANGE: Teresa "Tita" Smith wins the race to be mayor, beating fellow Orange native and city council member Jon Dumitru. PAGE 13

Choose your Career; Don't Let it Choose You!
by Lecia Parks Langston
Despite the eviDence that most women work in today's economy, many still fail to plan for a career. And, in the end it hurts us—and our children—economically.
"Until" Jobs
I once heard it put this way: "Many women have 'until' jobs." What does that mean? They plan on working "until" they get married and have children. Then, they plan on working "until" they put their husband through school. Then, they plan on working "until" they pay for a new car. Then, they plan on working "until" they save enough for a down payment for a new house. You get my drift?
Pretty soon, these women have 30 years of "until" jobs that didn't pay very well, had few benefits, lacked retirement plans, or provided little satisfaction. They haven't chosen something that is fulfilling and most likely they let the job choose them . . . they just took whatever job they could easily find.
Because most women see motherhood as their prime career, they fail to plan adequately for a career in the workforce. This failure to plan places many women and their children at a disadvantage when it comes to income and life satisfaction.
Choosing the "Wrong" Career
People are in the wrong careers due to a number of factors, says Richard Nelson Bolles, author of What Color Is Your Parachute?, the best-selling job-hunting book in the world:
- Nobody taught us how to choose a career.
- Many of us prefer to live securely as opposed to taking risks. (Especially women!)
- We're heavily influenced by suggestions from friends who know even less than we do.
- We simply don't want to take time to figure it out.
For women, these factors are compounded because:
- We limit ourselves to a small number of female-dominated career options.
- We don't get enough education.
- We fail to recognize that we will spend a significant portion of our lives working for pay.
- We forget to consider wages in making a career plan.
Choose a Career
Thirty years (or more) is a long time. Take the time and make the effort to choose a career that offers good wages (you can work less that way), good benefits, and lets you combine work and family. And, you should also choose a career that provides you with personal satisfaction and a chance for growth.
Remember you'll be spending a lot of time on the job. Wages are important, but so is job satisfaction. Studies show that if mom is happy with her work situation, so is her family.
Know thyself.
There are plenty of great free assessment tools on the Internet to help you relate what you're good at and like to do to the working world. See careers.utah.gov (Investigate Careers and utahfutures.org), the Careerlink Inventory (http://www.mpcfaculty.net/CL/cl.htm), and the Princeton Review Career Quiz (www.princetonreview.com/cte/quiz/default.asp) for just a few examples.
Get information.
The web site www.utahfutures.org can direct you to numerous sources of career and educational information—job descriptions, outlook, wages, working conditions, etc.
If you can, experiment in different workplaces before investing a lot of time in training or education. If you want to be a nurse, try working or even volunteering in a hospital to see what the job is like. This can save you time and money in the long run. It's kind of like dating. . .job experimentation can allow you to try on different careers before you commit to just one.
Ask around.
Talk to people who already have a job in the career you are considering. (Most people love to talk about themselves.) What do they like? What do they hate? How do those factors fit with your aptitudes and values?
Be willing to change and adapt.
You may find after working in a particular occupation for a while, that it doesn't meet your needs. Don't get stuck working in the "wrong" career or at the "wrong" company for you.

Interesting land shapes, not a whole lot going on between the 'tropic' lines.
Alright, so as I've previously shown in my introductory thread, I am currently working on my own little map-of-the-world deal. At this point I've ditched the parchment style map and mouse-drawn land for Jezelf's cut-and-paste land, which I think look much better, and seems to look better than the other not-random-coastline tutorials have turned out. Also I did a quick 10-minute polar distortion to show the planet from both the north and south poles. This is a WIP so I haven't done any further terrain, mountain, desert, and the like detailing, and I'd like to make it larger as well, but it's coming slowly but surely...

That's a lot of empty ocean. Maybe add some archipelagos or something?
Yeah I know. There's no land near the tropics for reasons of my storyline n' such. Basically there is a big ocean separating the two landmasses from each other for however many thousands of years. I wanted to half-emulate the Eurasia and America separation in our world.

Battleship is a bad game
This review is from: Battleship Nintendo 3DS Game
Pros: nothing
Cons: Battleship the game is no bad it makes the movie its based look the original Star Wars. Now people may like this game but this my opinion only but I did not enjoy this game at all. The game came out in 2012 but looks like it came out in 2002. The graphics are horrible and the missions are beyond tedious. For the $20 dollars they are asking for I could recommend a ton of other games that you should buy. So if you want to play a good Xbox title play Red Dead Redemption or Mass Effect 2.

Making "Home Alone"
Less Lonely
For dogs who are adept at emptying their Kongs,
freezing the stuffed Kong can increase the challenge and the enjoyment.
It is really no trouble at all to mix up a couple cups of your dog's
favorite Kong recipe, fill and freeze five Kongs, and take one out each
morning as you leave for work. Recipes abound on the internet, but start
The Molecuball and Nylabone Crazy Ball are similar
toys that dispense individual treats as your dog plays with them. These
toys are also helpful for encouraging shy or timid dogs to explore new
things as they push the ball around and are rewarded for following the
toy into "new territory".
Raw beef bones can be messy, so it may be best to
offer this to your dog while he is in his crate, or to place a sheet
down where your dog will chew it. Although raw bones are safe for your
dog, cooked bones can splinter and should never be given to dogs.
However, beef femur bones purchased raw are very strong and hold up well
to strong chewers, even after going through the dishwasher.
Sometimes families fear that being gone at work all day and being continually busy means they can't give their dogs the attention they need. However, providing stimulating toys, adequate daily exercise, and involving your dog in family activities when possible (for example, bringing him along for the ride while you run errands), can all go a long way towards keeping your dog happy, healthy, and well-behaved.

Black Friday remains the craze in RosevilleBy: Scott Thomas Anderson, Editor
There was no shortage of lines in front of Roseville's most popular retailers Thanksgiving Day, as well as droves of shoppers swelling inside the Westfield Galleria before midnight.
Shoandra and Rick Azevedo were the first people in line at the Best Buy on Galleria Boulevard Thursday. The Rocklin couple had hoped to get in line even earlier, showing up Tuesday only to be turned away by security guards. They were back at 9 a.m. on Thanksgiving morning.
"This is a tradition since 1994 for us," said Rick Azevedo, who brought along a propane heater to stay warm. He wanted to bring a Weber grill to cook some food for his compatriots in line, but was told it wasn't allowed.
The couple, who were celebrating their 14th wedding anniversary that day, hoped to snag a Kindle Fire HD and Playstation 3, and the free $30 Best Buy gift card that came with the purchase.
"We do Thanksgiving dinner on Sunday instead," Rick Azevedo said. "The kids have just gotten used to it."
By 6:45 p.m. Thursday, a line of people had started to form at the Fry's on North Sunrise Avenue in anticipation of the store's opening at 6 a.m. Despite a line of more than 150 customers, one Fry's employee told The Press Tribune that it was the shortest line in recent memory. Last year's line wrapped around almost the entire store. Fry's workers believe the shorter gathering is due to a special offer the company made this year that allowed customers to pay for Black Friday deals online on Thanksgiving and then pick up the products Friday at 9 a.m.
Lines at the Westfield Galleria began forming around 9 p.m. Thanksgiving evening. The Galleria opened its doors at 11 p.m., with a number of stores turning their lights on at midnight. One shopping destination inside the mall that waited until 6 a.m. to open was the Apple Store. By 5:50 a.m., a significant line had formed at its door. One person waiting to get in was Jonathan Haze of Antelope.
"Black Friday is fun, especially the rush of being in the crowd," Haze said. "Honestly, I wish I didn't have to shop for myself. I wish I could just come and watch the looks on some of the peoples' faces as it's happening."
Haze added that he had already witnessed a strange shopping frenzy earlier in the night at a Walmart.
"They had a special sale that would happen at 8 p.m.," he said. "These bins were shrink-wrapped and people weren't supposed to open them until 8. Well, someone opened one before that to peek inside. Another guy who was watching got this really panicked look on his face and started to rip into the bin, and he was grabbing all this random stuff like pillows as fast as he could and stuffing them into his cart."
Such desperate spectacles are exactly what interests Blake Grant-Parks of Yuba City on Black Friday.
"I just get a charge out of it," he said. "Especially watching some people do whatever it takes to get what they want."
By 6:45 a.m. Friday morning, a long line was still waiting to get inside the Sam's Club on Pleasant Grove Boulevard. Waiting at the end of it was Gary Baldwin of Auburn. Baldwin was especially interested in a Black Friday deal to get a Samsung Droid Galaxy smart phone for 96 cents.
"I'm here to get the 96-cent phone," he said. "And I'm pretty sure everyone else is here to get that, too."

in Problem solving
Hi there
my neighbour has a silver birch which has never been looked after. A few weeks ago leaves began to yellow and fall.....all over my garden during the hot weather. But the real problem are the spores that are coming off continuously.....with the breeze it has blown all over shrubs, flowers, roof gutters and worse still all over the house, on every surface (with having doors and windows open). I've had a word with the neighbour about but they have done nothing (
So now I have to keep windows open very slightly and keep doos shut. Sitting out and eating out in my lovely garden in this gorgeous summer is not an option because the spores would get into food
What can I do?
Spores? Silver birch trees don't have spores
We have all sorts of trees around us - we sit out and eat out all the time - I've frequently picnicked in a grove of silver birches at this time of year - our offices were surrounded by silver birches as was a neighbouring residential resource for children with profound and complex medical conditions - no one ever felt it necessary to shut doors and windows in the summer or to stay indoors.
I'm really puzzled
There's a world full of life Aysha and it's not out to get you. Silver birch is dropping seed at the moment, not harmful. Relax and enjoy your garden.
Trees drop some leaves in summer. Only a problem if you make it a problem.

Man beaten after '09 hotel shooting shot, killed Sunday
[UPDATE: Police say they are trying to find out why they didn't charge Woodland after his hospital release. They arrested him in November on minor drug charges, but prosecutors say they were never contacted about pursuing gun charges.]
A year ago this month, Raymond Woodland was partying in a downtown hotel when police say he pulled a TEC-9 semi-automatic firearm and shot a 19-year-old in the face. The victim's friends responded by beating Woodland into critical condition.
Woodland, who in a few moments went from suspect to victim, was never charged for the shooting as he lay in a hospital bed with a grim prognosis.
But he apparently recovered: on Sunday, the 20-year-old was on the streets and walking through Southwest Baltimore when he was fatally shot.
After the hotel shooting on Dec. 6, 2009, police said they intended to charge Woodland with attempted murder if he ever got out of the hospital, but charges were never filed.
Instead, the men who beat him – Dominic Anderson and Abdullah Omar – were charged. Their trial is slated to begin Jan. 25.
It's not clear when Woodland was released from the hospital, but in November he was charged with drug dealing and was out on $5,000 bond, records show. A woman who answered the phone at Woodland's home declined an interview request.
We're trying to figure out why Woodland was never charged - after all, he is accused of shooting someone in the face. Defense attorney Warren A. Brown, who represents Anderson, said prosecutors said that using Woodland as a witness in the case against Anderson and Omar and pursuing charges against him as a suspect presented a conflict, but he said they informed him that they were trying to work on a remedy. I've got calls out to prosecutors and police to try to clear up the situation.

OpenOffice.org (OO.o or OOo) is an office application suite available for a number of different computer operating systems. It supports the ISO standard XML OpenDocument Format (ODF) for data interchange as its default file format, as well as Microsoft Office '97-2003 formats, among many others.
Adventures with OpenOffice and XML
In addition to being open source, saving as XML makes OpenOffice truly open. Aside from being open source, XML's self-documenting nature allows us to dive into the document format without having to dive into C++. And more significantly, XML allows us to use simple, free tools to manipulate the documents themselves. In this article we will examine the structure of the format.

Breaking the Word Processor Curve
When you first switch to Writer, this claim that Writer beats Word may seem hard to swallow. And no wonder; you're too busy learning the new menus to get beyond the fact that everything's only half-familiar. And if you're an unsophisticated user who has yet to learn (to steal the title of Robin Williams' book) that the PC is not a typewriter, you might never notice. However, if you're an advanced user for whom style, structured text and long documents are all part of word processing, then the claim soon becomes self-evident.

Comparison of Ways to do Things using Microsoft Word and OOoWriter
Experienced users of Microsoft Word may take awhile to discover how to do common tasks in OOWriter, because some of the menus and the terminology are a bit different; in a few cases no direct equivalent method is available.

Converting Documents from Microsoft Word to OOoWriter
I'm happy to report that OpenOffice.org 1.1.0 does a very good job of converting Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP files to OOo files -- much better than the previous releases I tested. Most of the problems I had noticed with conversions done by OOo1.0.2 did not appear when I converted the same Word files using OOo1.1.0. Some conversion problems remain. Most of these are probably due to OOoWriter not having any counterpart to some features of Word.

Weber, Jean Hollis. NewsForge (2005). Articles>Word Processing>Software>OpenOffice
If you are using any word processor or editor in a group situation, such as a technical writing team, or an office, then it will probably be in your interest to set up templates for authors to use to ensure consistency, reduce effort, and help automate conversation of documents between formats, such as building web pages from office documents. If you are also trying to store and manipulate content in XML but want to use a word processing environment for authoring, then well-crafted templates are even more important.

How to Change All Font Sizes in a Document at Once
Many people want a facility in OOo to enlarge or reduce the size of all fonts in a document at once, preferably by clicking on an icon.

How to Choose a Good Instructional Book about OpenOffice.org
If the success of an open source project can be measured by the number of third-party books about it, then OpenOffice.org is thriving. Not only is OpenOffice.org represented by a dozen books and pieces of training material on Amazon.com, but interest in OpenOffice.org is widespread enough that each of the books is geared to a slightly different audience. This article gives an overview of four of the current OpenOffice.org books, ending with a suggestion of which to buy for your own needs.

OOo Off the Wall: My Objects All Sublime
All of the contents in an OpenOffice.org Writer document is one of three things: text characters, fields or objects. Objects is a large category that includes formulas, drawing objects and so-called OLE Objects, but it is represented most often by graphics. All objects are added to Writer using a frame, and most of the time, it is the frame that you are editing. The object itself sits sublimely above your changes, its appearance in the document altering but not the object itself.

Opening Up to OpenOffice.org: Finding an Alternative to Microsoft Word
When OpenOffice.org (www.openoffice.org) reached version 1.0 in May 2002, I did my journalistic duty and had a look. It wasn't what I expected. At times, the duplication of MS Word in OpenOffice.org seemed to extend to the faults, but the first impression is misleading. While MS Word users can be comfortable in OpenOffice.org within minutes, OpenOffice.org's interface is by far the tidier. More importantly, OpenOffice.org not only matches MS Word almost feature for feature, but often exceeds it, and provides working versions of features that have been broken or overdue for overhaul in MS Word for several releases.

OpenOffice.org and Me: An Introduction
When I first tried OOo, it was at around version 1.0.0 or 1.0.1. The help files were pathetic in those days; I described them at the time as 'badly written, badly organized, badly indexed, and frequently wrong.' To be fair, the help has improved a great deal since then, though the indexing still needs a lot of improvement.

OpenOffice.org Off the Wall: It's Numbering, But Not as We Know It
Like any word processor, OpenOffice.org's Writer automatically adds numbers and bullets to paragraphs for you. Unlike typical word processors, however, Writer does not make lists a part of paragraph styles. Instead, lists have styles of their own. These styles are called numbering styles. Separating list styles from paragraph styles gives list options more room for custom settings without burying them deep in the menus.
Byfield, Bruce. Linux Journal (2004). Articles>Word Processing>Software>OpenOffice
OpenOffice.org Writer vs. Microsoft Word
OOo Writer scores most of its victories in features that make the creation and maintenance of highly formatted or long documents easier. This pattern is not accidental. According to Elizabeth Mathias of Sun Microsystems, the documentation of OpenOffice.org has a long history of being written in Writer itself. As a result, the program's developers had the incentive to include the tools they needed. This legacy continues to give Writer advantages over competitors like Word.

OpenOffice.org XML File Format
All OpenOffice.org applications use XML-based file formats. All applications (except Math) use the same format as defined in the specification. The Math component uses the package structure and format, but uses MathML inside the package.

Replacing FrameMaker with OpenOffice.org Writer
Replace Adobe FrameMaker with OpenOffice.org Writer? Most people's first reaction is amused disbelief. 'FrameMaker is a hugely capable publishing product,' my editor admonished me. 'OOo is a marginally competent word processor.' However, a functional comparison of several important desktop publishing features in both products shows that the products are more comparable than you might think.

Sharing Files Between OpenOffice.org and Microsoft Office
Even if you're the most dedicated OpenOffice.org (OOo) user in the world, sooner or later you'll be asked to share files with someone using Microsoft Office. Some free software advocates refuse outright, or suggest outputting to HTML, PDF, or RTF formats, but these aren't always options -- especially if your boss is the one doing the asking. However, with a few preparations and a sense of what works and what doesn't, you can usually share files with Microsoft Office users with a minimum of headaches on both sides. Here's how.

Taming OpenOffice.org Writer 1.1: Tips and Tricks for Academic, Technical, and Business Writers
This book is for intermediate and advanced users of OpenOffice.org Writer. You may not have used this program before, but you have used another word processor (such as Microsoft Word or Corel WordPerfect) and you are familiar with the basics of word processing. Typical users include academic writers, technical writers, and other business and professional writers—anyone who produces books, research papers, proposals, or other documents requiring the use of more than the basic features. For example, you need to use styles instead of direct formatting of headings and other paragraphs, and you need to include chapter information in the footers of pages, or you want to use master documents to control a book containing many chapters, perhaps written by different people.

Nicki Minaj's "Your Love" video has been out for several days, so by now you should know that the lovely Young Money siren kicks the bucket at the end of the clip. During a sword fight with her female rival, Nicki's character, a martial arts student who's in love with her sensei (played by Michael Jai White), comes out on the losing end when she catches some powder to the face and a sharp blade to the gut. Last week in Los Angeles, Nicki explained why she wanted to have a fatal attraction in the video.
"I just felt like that was the most emotional and truthful storyline," Minaj explained. "I felt like mostly everyone would normally make themselves win in the end. I wanted to show that the only way I could be beat is if you cheat. If you cheat! If you play fair and square, I'm gonna win. It's my little way of looking at it. Also, I felt it was almost heart-wrenching to see it. I made myself this nice girl in the video and you bond with the character, you know what I mean? You know what I mean. You see her die. I wanted people to talk about it in the end. 'Why did she make that decision?' I wanted them to cry."
Nicki's fans will be crying tears of joy when her long-anticipated debut album hits stores. She promises the project will be out before the end of the year, and she's focusing heavily on recording her own songs.
"Maybe a few things cooking," Nicki answered with a smile when asked if she has any more guest appearances coming up. "But right now, it's all about the album. November 23. Nothing comes before that." Then Nicki contemplated the title of her project.
"Maybe we should call it … The Album," she ruminated. "Nicki Minaj: The Album," she continued before dismissing the idea. "I don't know, it'll come."
What do you think Nicki Minaj should call her new album? Let us know in the comments!

Baltimore Orioles Eddie Murray hit two home runs Wednesday August 14, 1996 against the Milwaukee Brewers in Baltimore. Murray has spent the last 20 years trying to make some sense out of the crazy game of baseball. Sometimes he'll be stunned by a trade, such as the one that brought him back to the Baltimore Orioles last month. The deal came after the Cleveland Indians, for reasons still unclear to Murray, decided to make him a part-time player. AP Photo/John Mummert
A baseball fan and statistics buff has proven that clutch hitters really do exist, putting statistics behind the obvious.
The new study, by math and economics student Elan Fuld of the University of Pennsylvania, was announced by the university Thursday.
Fuld defined a clutch hitter as one who hits better at more important moments. He studied stats on 1,075 Major League players in the 1974-1992 seasons.
Factors determining a clutch hit: how many bases were occupied, the score at the time, the inning, and how many outs. He also counted sacrifice flies, in which a runner scores but no hit is recorded.
"What I found was that, when I included sacrifice flys in the analysis, there was overwhelming evidence that there were clutch hitters," Fuld said.
So who were the greatest under pressure? Frank Duffy, Eddie Murray and Luis Gomez stood out.
Bill Buckner, known as a choke artist for his Game 6 World Series error in 1986 that many remember as costing Boston the championship, was statistically proven to be a clutch hitter, too.
Fans and players have always known there's a lot of psychology to hitting.
"Once situational importance rose to around at least a certain level," Fuld explained, "the player would start to think this is very important and start doing something that makes him hit better, if he's clutch, or panics and does something that makes him hit worse, if he's a choke hitter."

BIG Wins Kimball Art Center Competition With Its Twisting Timber Eco Tower
Posted By Bridgette Meinhold On February 10, 2012 @ 8:24 pm In Architecture,carousel showcase,Green Building,Green renovation,News | 1 Comment
Bjarke Ingels [1] loves to ski, so there's no doubt he's thrilled that his firm, BIG [2], just won first prize to design the renovation and expansion of the Kimball Art Center [3] in Park City, UT. BIG's winning design features a soaring, twisting, timber eco-tower [2] that pays respect to the mining history of the Utah ski town. Using reclaimed trestlewood [4] for the structure along with other sustainable strategies like solar power, rainwater collection, a high performing thermal envelope and daylighting, BIG's tower is sure to make a huge statement. The Danish firm best be on the lookout for office space in Park City so they can get to work on the new and improved art center.
The Kimball Art Center [5] serves as a local art museum and cultural center that offers art education and rotating exhibitions. Located in a historic gas station and garage on Main Street in Park City, the center has outgrown its existing facilities. In the fall of 2011, the KAC invited a long list of architecture firms to submit their qualifications and then selected 5 firms to come up with design proposals for the renovation and expansion. The KAC selected BIG [6], Brooks + Scarpa [7], Sparano + Mooney Architecture [8], Tod Williams and Billie Tsien Architects [9], and Will Bruder + Partners [10].
Over the fall and winter, the firms gave presentations to the community to introduce themselves and then submitted their design proposals and models, which sat on display for the public. Last Thursday, February 2nd, all 5 firms returned to give final presentations to the jury. The winner was announced just today, Friday, February 10th and now BIG will work with the KAC on the final design. Pending city approval and funding, work is expected to commence in the spring of 2013.
BIG's design for the new KAC [2] is largely a reference to the former Silver King Coalition Mine Building [11] erected in 1901, which stood as the tallest building in Park City for 80 years until it burnt to the ground in 1982. Built out of reclaimed timbers, the twisting volume will be heavily insulated to form a tight envelope, and a spacious rooftop garden will be created for use as outdoor event space. Inside, the space will feature modern clean lines, ample daylighting and flexible mixed-use space for exhibitions, events, and film screenings. Although the jurors have not released their review or any notes on the designs, they were likely swayed by Mr. Ingels charming personality, his reference to Park City's mining history as well as his use of materials and incorporation of sustainable strategies. No doubt, this will be a boon for the Kimball Art Center [12] and a huge addition, literally, to the ski town.

- FBI says background checks peak in week after Newtown shooting
Most days Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials receive multiple calls from felons inquiring if they are allowed to hunt in the state.
Nothing in the law prevents a felon from obtaining a Colorado hunting license. Unlike a gun purchase, no criminal background check is required.
And while law enforcement officials say it is pointless to buy the license, because it is illegal for felons to possess the firearms or archery weapons needed to bring down an animal, plenty of felons do.
"It happens all the stinkin' time," said Gary Ellis, owner of thecoloradohunter.com, the self-proclaimed go-to resource for Colorado hunting. In fact, the question tops the site's list of FAQs.
More than 300,000 hunting licenses are issued for big game alone in Colorado every year and, of those, an untraceable number go to felons. The occurrence cannot be quantified because hunting licensee information is not public record.
Yet every year, game wardens contact felons in possession of a gun, said Randy Hampton, spokesman for Colorado Parks and Wildlife, which oversees hunting.
Those interactions are in addition to the phone calls from both felons and whistle-blowers warning that a known felon is armed and hunting.
The apparent loophole exists despite the fact that otherwise non-felonious hunters are ineligible for hunting licenses if they are behind on child support payments.
Hunting and gun advocates say the law should be changed to allow felons convicted of non-violent crimes to hunt.
"Are we having any problems?" said Dave Kopel of the Independence Institute, a Colorado libertarian-leaning think tank. "If there is not a problem in practice, don't legislators and law enforcement have more serious problems to worry about in real life?"
Currently, there are 685 hunting licenses suspended in Colorado for violations, Hampton said. An average of 200 are added each year to the list while a lesser number are removed, he said, but there is no way to compare that list to criminal records. But Hampton said it is common knowledge a number of revoked licenses are related to felons with guns.
"There is crossover," Hampton said "The propensity may not be for a felon to follow the law."
The wildlife department takes this issue seriously and investigates tips on those breaking the law, Hampton said.
In fact, an entry in the 2011 annual Wildlife Law Enforcement and Violation Report is titled "Felon and Family."
There are some states, such as Maine and Rhode Island, that prohibit felons from purchasing or possessing a hunting license.
Ellis said Colorado does not belong among those few but should readdress policy.
The law should differentiate between violent and non-violent felons when it comes to who can hunt, Ellis said.
"Some people just screwed up," he said. "No one is perfect."
Being someone who loves hunting and makes a living from it, Ellis said he would be "hard pressed" not to hunt if he were a felon, so he understands the enticement of being able to acquire a license.
But Ellis takes issue with some who justify their choice to break the law.
"We don't live in a society where you need to hunt to survive, so that is not a valid reason," he said.
Kopel disagrees.
"Some felons, like some other hunters, don't have enough money to put food on the table without hunting," he said.
It may not be an aspect of the gun debate currently, but this issue has been brought before legislators in the past.
In 1999, three months after Columbine, state Rep. and House Speaker Russ George, R-Rifle, was questioned about felons being allowed to hunt if their crime wasn't related to guns or violence. George said there wasn't much hope for the law to change or differentiate one felon from another.
"The debate is too heavily charged in the extremes to solve an inequity in the middle," George said. "The guy who made a mistake as a kid probably isn't way high up on anybody's radar screen."

When I say strange noises I don't mean pops or clicks. I mean voices, and music. Even when no programs are running. Happens at random times. Sometimes they sound like radio ads, sometimes music, sometimes bizarre sound effects. I've run AVG Virus Scan and Spybot S&D, and the problem persists.
Help! My computer is possessed!
Radio interference... just Google search for info, you might be able to pinpoint how to fix it.
I used to have this problem on my budget speakers but usually higher-end equipment is shielded from it. I could actually hear telephone conversations as well.
If they are plugged in to the wall, it can even happen when your speakers are not plugged into your PC.
(As a funny side-note: the image on my PC's monitor used to vibrate randomly, like the monitor was failing. Then it would suddenly go back to normal. It took me a few weeks to realize always this always coincided with my roommate using the microwave in the kitchen, directly across the wall from my computer. I just moved the monitor to another side of the room and the interference stopped.)

Location, location, location near public transportation may be the new real-estate mantra according to a new study released recently by the American Public Transportation Association (APTA) and the National Association of Realtors® (NAR). Data in the study reveals that during the last recession, residential property values performed 42 percent better on average if they were located near public transportation with high-frequency service.
"When homes are located near public transportation, it is the equivalent of creating housing as desirable as beachfront property," says APTA President and CEO Michael Melaniphy. "This study shows that consumers are choosing neighborhoods with high-frequency public transportation because it provides access to up to five times as many jobs per square mile as compared to other areas in a given region. Other attractive amenities in these neighborhoods include lower transportation costs, walkable areas and robust transportation choices."
"Higher home values reflect greater market demand for areas near public transportation," says NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun. "Transportation plays an important role in real estate and housing decisions, and the data suggests that residential real-estate near public transit will remain attractive to buyers going forward. A sound transportation system not only benefits individual property owners, but also creates the foundation for a community's long-term economic well being."
The study, The New Real-Estate Mantra: Location near Public Transportation, investigates how well residential properties located in a half-mile proximity to high-frequency public transportation or in the "public transit shed" have performed in holding their value during the recession compared to other properties in a given region.
While residential property values declined substantially between 2006 to 2011, properties close to public transit showed significantly stronger resiliency. The following are a few examples from the study: In Boston, residential property in the rapid transit area outperformed other properties in the region by an incredible 129 percent. In the Chicago public transit area home values performed 30 percent higher than the region; in San Francisco, 37 percent higher; Minneapolis-St Paul, 48 percent; and in Phoenix 37 percent higher.
The study looked at five regions, which illustrate the types of high-frequency public transit systems throughout the U.S. High-frequency public transportation includes subway (heavy rail), light rail and bus rapid transit. This sample accurately projects the nationwide average (42 percent) variance among properties located near high-frequency public transportation and those that are located further away from public transit.
The following table provides examples of the impact of high-frequency public transportation in the five study areas. Comparisons to the public transit shed versus the region show that the public transit shed provides access in some instances to more than three times more jobs per square mile as compared to other areas in a given region. (Note: not shown in the chart below but living near bus rapid transit in Boston resulted in access to five times more jobs per square mile compared to the region.) The table also illustrates that transportation costs are reduced by up to $351 a month for households residing in the public transit shed.
"Stable property values in areas with public transit access have a number of policy implications," says Melaniphy. "As Congress and state and local governments look for ways to accelerate economic growth, this study shows that investing in public transportation is a boon to revitalizing our economy.""When consumers choose a home, they also choose a lifestyle. Shorter commutes and more walkable neighborhoods matter to a growing number of people, especially those living in congested metro areas," said Yun.

TED Ogle "walked the walk" when it came to getting involved. In an era when so many Americans shy away from taking part in politics and governance, the lifelong Republican — who died Sunday — was an outspoken advocate for not only participating but leading.
Politics was a mission for the Bartholomew County native dating to his youth, when he served as a sheriff on the election board in Precinct 7-East. He steadily rose through the ranks of the local Republican Party, serving several years as a precinct committeeman before becoming county chairman and eventually head of the 6th District wing of the party.
He did not content himself with behind-the-scenes roles. He served four terms as a member of Columbus City Council and unsuccessfully sought election as the state representative from Indiana's 59th District.
His involvement was not limited to the political arena. He was a longtime member of the Columbus Rotary Club and served as its president.
Although he spent countless hours in public service, it was on a mostly voluntary basis, with little or no remuneration. That, in essence, is the spirit of involvement
There was a time when being chairman of the county and district branches of a party could bring great influence and a significant measure of personal reward to an individual. In the old days of patronage politics in Indiana, the county chairman of the party in power could hand out government jobs as a form of reward to faithful workers and control significant offices, such as local license branches.
The death of the patronage system several decades ago brought an end to that kind of individual aggrandizement. Today a party chairmanship offers few personal rewards and actually leads to massive headaches caused by disgruntled party members who expect their leaders to produce victories across the board, regardless of the circumstances.
Certainly, his salary as a 16-year member of the City Council was not commensurate with the hours he devoted to city business.
Ogle was 60 years old when he died, and almost 40 years of that life were dedicated to getting involved. There were many times along the way that he could have shrugged off that service and used the time spent in that pursuit for far more profitable activities.
He didn't, and his continued dedication to public service should be used as a model for others to follow.

Restaurant magazine and S. Pellegrino's annual "World's 50 Best Restaurants" list was released on Monday at an awards ceremony in London's Guildhall - and it seems the Danes have done it again.
The number one spot goes to Restaurant Noma in Copenhagen, Denmark for the second year straight.
Last year's top ranking catapulted Noma and chef René Redzepi's Nordic cuisine into the international culinary spotlight. According to Redzepi, the day after the list came out in 2010, Noma received more than 100,000 requests for a table.
The top honor is just another indication it's been a delicious year for the small European country. Denmark also beat out 23 other countries to take home gold in the 2011 Bocuse d'Or cooking competition - often referred to as the "culinary Olympics."
One visible omission from the list is the five-time "World's Best Restaurant," elBulli. Chef Ferran Adrià withdrew himself and the storied molecular gastronomy restaurant from the awards because elBulli will serve its last meal as a restaurant on July 30, 2011. It will reopen as a nonprofit "think-tank for creative cuisine and gastronomy" in 2014.
"The original aim still stands, that is to promote and celebrate brilliant restaurants," said Restaurant magazine editor, William Drew.
Six of the restaurants crowned this year - Alinea in Chicago, Illinois; Daniel, Per Se, Le Bernardin, Momofuku Ssäm Bar and Eleven Madison Park (up 26 spots from 2010) in New York - are on American soil. D.O.M. in Brazil jumped from number 18 to number 7, making it the only South American restaurant to grace the top ten. The highest climber, Nihonryori RyuGin, moved up 28 spots.
