Soyabeans were also higher, on track for a fourth consecutive week of gains, as a Brazilian truckers' strike disrupted supply and took attention away from an expected record harvest in South America. "The uncertainty over the Brazilian strike situation seems to have abated but some longs are still getting in," said Terry Reilly, an analyst with Futures International. Brazilian truckers protesting a new fuel tax lifted their blockade of dozens of highways by Friday after police began fining and arresting protesters. But blockages remained at 59 locations across six states on Friday, down from 88 on Thursday, according to highway police.
The soyabean oil market was also strong as traders exited their soyameal/soyaoil spread positions on the last trading day of the month. March soyaoil busted through its 100-day moving average, hitting a five-week top, after fewer-than-expected deliveries were posted against the expiring contract overnight.
Chicago Board of Trade March wheat was up 9-1/2 cents, or 1.9 percent, at $5.12-3/4 a bushel by 11 am CT (1700 GMT). Kansas City March wheat was also higher after sinking to a 4-1/2-year low of $5.17-1/4 on Thursday on sluggish exports. Chicago March soyabeans were up 5-1/4 cents, or 0.5 percent at $10.29-1/4. This brought the contract's weekly gains to just over 3 percent and its rise in February to 7 percent. Chicago corn edged up 2-1/4 cents, or 0.6 percent to $3.82-1/4, supported by an easing in the dollar after Thursday's one-month high against a basket of currencies. Cold weather persists across the US wheat belt.

A friendly reminder about your OneDrive storage amount
Subject: General Tech | February 5, 2016 - 05:06 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: onedrive, microsoft, cloud storage
Remember the good old days when OneDrive moved from offering you 1TB of storage to an unlimited amount? That did not last too long, they changed their minds and dropped the paid service back to 1TB and the free version from 15GB to 5GB, with a chance to grandfather in the additional storage if you followed up with them.
A viewer recently encountered this for the first time and it seems appropriate to remind everyone about the change. If you have the paid service and are storing over 1TB you may have already heard from Microsoft but if not then consider this the warning that you have better trim down the amount of data you store on OneDrive as the changes are going to happen in the latter half of this year. The same goes for free users who have 15GB, or 30GB if you opted into the camera roll service, get the amount of files you have stored on OneDrive under 5GB or risk losing data you would rather keep. The standalone 100GB and 200GB plans will be reduced to 50GB, the price will remain at $1.99 per month.
The whole situation is reminiscent of a teacher in a classroom full of kids choosing to punish the entire class for the actions of a few individuals; in this case the tiny percentage which exceeded 75TB of usage. Make sure to clean up your OneDrive as soon as possible, this is not something you want to wait until the last minute to do.
"If you are using more than 5 GB of free storage, you will continue to have access to all files for at least 12 months after these changes go into effect in early 2016. In addition, you can redeem a free one-year Office 365 Personal subscription (credit card required), which includes 1 TB of OneDrive storage."

Unreal Editor for Unreal Engine 4 in VR
Subject: General Tech, Shows and Expos | February 4, 2016 - 07:47 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: GDC, gdc 2016, epic games, ue4, VR, vive vr
Epic Games released Unreal Engine 4 at GDC two years ago, and removed its subscription fee at the next year's show. This year, one of the things that they will show is Unreal Editor in VR with the HTC Vive. Using the system's motion controllers, you will be able to move objects and access UI panels in the virtual environment. They open the video declaring that this is not an experimental project.
Without using this technology, it's hard to comment on its usability. It definitely looks interesting, and might be useful for VR experiences. You can see what your experience will look like as you create it, and you probably even save a bit of time in rapid iteration by not continuously wearing and removing the equipment. I wonder how precise it will be though, since the laser pointers and objects seemed to snap and jitter a bit. That said, it might be just as precise and, even still, it only really matters how it looks and behaves, and it shouldn't even prevent minor tweaks after the fact anyway.
Epic Games expects to discuss the release plans at the show.

Instead of practicing your skills at slapping the monkey, shooting the duck or pretending you are on an online version of Let's Make a Deal trying to pick the right download button to reveal the prize you want, they will present you with a bright red warning screen.

A mix of styles
Logitech continues its push and re-entry into the gaming peripherals market in 2016, this time adding another keyboard under the Orion brand to the mix. The Logitech G G810 Orion Spectrum is, as the name implies, an RGB mechanical keyboard using the company's proprietary Romer-G switches. But despite the similarity in model numbers to the G910 Orion Spark announced in late 2014, the G810 has some significant design and functionality changes.
This new offering is cleaner, less faceted (both in key caps and design) but comes much closer to the feel and function than the tenkeyless G410 from last year. Let's take a look at how the G810 changes things up for Logitech G.
Keyboard Design
The G810 Orion Spectrum is a full size keyboard with tenkey (also known as the numeric keypad) that has sleeker lines and more professional lines that its big brother. The black finish is matte on the keys and framing but the outside edges of the keyboard have a gloss to them. It's a very minimal part of the design though so you shouldn't have to worry about fingerprints.
At first glance, you can see that Logitech toned down some of the gamer-centric accents when compared to either the G910 or the G410. There is no wrist rest, no PCB-trace inspired lines, no curves and no sharp edges. What you get instead is a keyboard that is equally well placed in modern office or in an enthusiasts gaming den. To me, there are a lot of touches that remind me of the Das Keyboard - understated design that somehow makes it more appealing to the educated consumer.
This marks the first keyboard with the new Logitech G logo on it, though you are likely more concerned about the lack of G-Keys, the company's name for its macro-capable buttons on the G910. For users that still want that capability, Logitech G allows you to reprogram the function keys along the top for macro capability, and has a pretty simple switch in software to enable or disable those macros. This means you can maintain the F-row of keys for Windows applications but still use macros for gaming.

Microsoft Lets Anyone "Git" Their Deep Learning On With Open Source CNTK
Subject: General Tech | February 4, 2016 - 01:18 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: open source, microsoft, machine learning, deep neural network, deep learning, cntk, azure
Microsoft has been using deep neural networks for awhile now to power its speech recognition technologies bundled into Windows and Skype to identify and follow commands and to translate speech respectively. This technology is part of Microsoft's Computational Network Toolkit. Last April, the company made this toolkit available to academic researchers on Codeplex, and it is now opening it up even more by moving the project to GitHub and placing it under an open source license.
Lead by chief speech and computer scientist Xuedong Huang, a team of Microsoft researchers built the Computational Network Toolkit (CNTK) to power all their speech related projects. The CNTK is a deep neural network for machine learning that is built to be fast and scalable across multiple systems, and more importantly, multiple GPUs which excel at these kinds of parallel processing workloads and algorithms. Microsoft heavily focused on scalability with CNTK and according to the company's own benchmarks (which is to say to be taken with a healthy dose of salt) while the major competing neural network tool kits offer similar performance running on a single GPU, when adding more than one graphics card CNTK is vastly more efficient with almost four times the performance of Google's TensorFlow and a bit more than 1.5-times Torch 7 and Caffe. Where CNTK gets a bit deep learning crazy is its ability to scale beyond a single system and easily tap into Microsoft's Azure GPU Lab to get access to numerous GPUs from their remote datacenters -- though its not free you don't need to purchase, store, and power the hardware locally and can ramp the number up and down based on how much GPU muscle you need. The example Microsoft provided showed two similarly spec'd Linux systems with four GPUs each running on Azure cloud hosting getting close to twice the performance of the 4 GPU system (75% increase). Microsoft claims that "CNTK can easily scale beyond 8 GPUs across multiple machines with superior distributed system performance."
Using GPU-based Azure machines, Microsoft was able to increase the performance of Cortana's speech recognition by 10-times compared to the local systems they were previously using.
It is always cool to see GPU compute in practice and now that CNTK is available to everyone, I expect to see a lot of new uses for the toolkit beyond speech recognition. Moving to an open source license is certainly good PR, but I think it was actually done more for Microsoft's own benefit rather than users which isn't necessarily a bad thing since both get to benefit from it. I am really interested to see what researchers are able to do with a deep neural network that reportedly offers so much performance thanks to GPUs. I'm curious what new kinds of machine learning opportunities the extra speed will enable.

Windows 95 in a Web Browser
Subject: General Tech | February 4, 2016 - 02:15 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: windows 95, javascript
This one is quite interesting. We've seen DOSBox cross-compiled into JavaScript using emscripten before. For instance, The Internet Archive has been publishing a huge catalog of DOS-era games on their site, including John Carmack's Catacomb II. In case you're wondering, memory management is handled in emscripten by reserving a large, contiguous chunk of memory as an ArrayBuffer. The C application can do its typical memory management tricks because it sees an unmanaged chunk of memory.
This example is an image of Windows 95, complete with its default applications such as Minesweeper. It was ported by Andrea Faulds, who is a major contributor to PHP. The Windows 95 demo was apparently created in 2015, according to her personal website, but I just found out about it.

Tagged: modding, gaming, fallout 4
[H]ard|OCP has put together a little guide on improving your Fallout 4 experience with the help of modders and the great people at Nexus Mods. They describe the basics on how to install mods as there are steps you need to follow to ensure your mods successfully apply, whether installed manually or with the Nexus Mod Manager tool. They explore several mods than greatly increase the size of textures, making them much better looking as well as adding weather and storms to the mix. As long as you meet the graphics memory requirements which they mention you should not see much performance degradation when using these mods. Soon Fallout 4 may be meeting or surpassing Skyrim's impressive mod community.
Of course immediately after [H] covered this topic Bethesda released a new patch which enables HBAO+ for all GPUs and extra debris effects specifically for NVIDIA GPUs.
"Fallout 4 has been out for several months and it is possible that you might find the image quality lacking overall. We take some of the most popular and highly downloaded image quality mods and find out how we can improve the environment in Fallout 4. We modify for visual improvements to give you more immersive gameplay."

Next on the list of companies which should know better is Malwarebytes, but it is not as bad as some say
Subject: General Tech | February 3, 2016 - 12:46 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: security, Malwarebytes
Considering the business that Malwarebytes is in you can expect to see a lot of negative press about a gaping security hole in the near future and while there is a vulnerability it is not as bad as many will make it out to be. The issue lies in that signature updates are done over HTTP and are unsigned, very bad practice but something which would be exploited on a single client connection as opposed to something you could use to create a wide spread infection. The Register links to the Google Project Zero entry which was released today as the vulnerability was first reported to Malwarebytes 90 days ago and has not been addressed on the client side.
The actual concern you should have is that the original bug report also found vulnerabilities on the server side. Malwarebytes did correct the server side issues almost immediately but neglected to follow through on the client side. It is good of them to patch and offer bug bounties but a complete follow through is necessary if you are a security software peddler who wants their reputation to stay intact.
"The antivirus firm says it has addressed server-side vulnerabilities that were reported by Google Project Zero researcher Tavis Ormandy in November. However, security holes remain in the client-side software that runs on people's Windows PCs."

Blender Foundation Releases Caminandes 3: Lamingos
Subject: General Tech | February 2, 2016 - 11:34 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: Blender, open-source
The Blender Foundation guides development with a series of first-party short films, each of which are created with open-source software and released under a Creative Commons license. Despite their purpose, to promote open source software and highlight ways to improve Blender, they each have engaging traits that are uncommon in commercial films. Cosmos Laundromat opens with a fairly long shot of a sheep's attempt at hanging itself, while Sintel's ending will make you feel hollow when it reveals its meaning.
This short, Caminandes 3: Lamingos, above, is much lighter than Cosmos Laundromat or Sintel. It has more of the ironic, mischievous cartoon feel of Big Buck Bunny, their second Blender short film. It is about a Llama and a Penguin who are trying to eat some berries; unfortunately, they are both trying to eat the same ones.
The two-and-a-half-minute short film can be downloaded and is free to use under a Creative Commons Attribution license. Its assets are also available, but only under a Blender Cloud subscription.

'The Campaign' focus on funny side of politics
Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis have brought the campaign trail to the big screen, and the timing couldn't be better.
In "The Campaign," which opens today, they play two North Carolina politicians competing in an increasingly nasty congressional race in a small district. Galifianakis' character shoots Ferrell's point blank, Ferrell punches a baby and both see poll numbers surge after these ridiculous events. This might all seem extremely silly and unbelievable if this weren't an election year complete with equally absurd headlines often fueling the fires of comedy.
Galifianakis plays Marty Huggins, a sometimes-racist Southern effeminate with a creepy mustache. Ferrell says he found inspiration in former senator John Edwards, albeit with shades of his hilarious George W. Bush impression from "SNL." The film is directed by Jay Roach, whose career with comedies ("Austin Powers," "Meet the Parents") and acclaimed real-life political dramas ("Recount," "Game Change") made him a natural choice.
It's a winning ticket that pits two of the best comedians in the movies against each other. The two first crossed paths at "Saturday Night Live," where Ferrell was a veteran standout and Galifianakis had a short-lived stint as a writer. Ferrell eventually left and launched a successful movie career, while Galifianakis continued with stand-up before "The Hangover" transformed him from indie favorite to one of the most sought-after comics in Hollywood. Personally, I find both guys to be masters of farce.
So, if you're burned out on all the attack ads and posturing, "The Campaign" might be a great source of comic relief during an otherwise-serious time. And it never hurts to have a few laughs in the face of political frustration.

Jae's Reviews > Crazy: A Father's Search Through America's Mental Health Madness
Crazy: A Father's Search Through America's Mental Health Madness
by Pete Earley

Jae's review
bookshelves: 2008-books
Aug 17, 08
bookshelves: 2008-books
I've heard Pete Earley speak at a few conferences recently and looked up his book. It's fascinating, infuriating and important. Earley, a former Washington Post journalist, is alerted to the tragic and criminal intersection of the country's mental health and prison systems when his twentysomething son becomes mentally ill, and while Earley and his family are desperately trying to get him into treatment, breaks into a neighbor's (thankfully empty) home and thus becomes the criminal justice system's problem. Earley decides to use his skills to research the issue and, in addition to his son's story, writes a story about mentally ill inmates of the Miami-Dade county jail, and the treatment they (do not) receive. He ends up in Miami-Dade mostly because NYC, Chicago, and LA (where the LA County lockup is this country's largest public mental health treatment center, for very loose definitions of "treatment") wouldn't let him in. The book's examination of the difficulty of the mental health care system even for middle- and upper-class people (he writes honestly about breaching his ethical code by revealing to his insurance company that he is an investigative journalist in order to get them to allow his son to remain in the hospital instead of insisting he be discharged early), and the absolutely insane system that exists for the poor, and how many people who would formerly have been in mental health hospitals are currently in prison for crimes arising from their mental illness. I had vigorous arguments with him in my head about some of his conclusions (for instance, about easing laws about involuntary commitment -- I feel like in this case he was blinded by his own white, upper-class privilege and the fact that he is obviously an educated, empowered and loving parent to his son. But with easier involuntary commitment laws, what happens to people who don't have those parents, who don't have his privilege, who are exactly the people who were locked up and lost in the snake pits that existed before deinstitutionalization? We've got to fix the system for everyone before we make it any easier for anyone to get lost in it) (also, I'm not in love with the ideal community program as he describes it -- certain aspects made me really exercised in the argument I had with him in my head). But on some points, not necessarily those but others, I've gotten the impression from hearing him speak that his positions on some points have evolved since writing the book, as he has become more and more involved as an advocate on the subject.
*To quote Pete Earley: "Important note: The word "CRAZY" in the book's title refers to the mental health care system."

For thanks to employees and management at the Greencastle Starbucks, all tips generated at the new café will be donated to worthy local causes.
The idea to give back to the community is the brainchild of Deb Gould, who was the local manager through the pre-opening process and first two months of operation. Gould, a South Putnam graduate, left Starbucks recently to concentrate on operating her own business, Legendary Services Solutions, a firm that conducts workshops stressing customer service.
Giving back was the idea when DePauw University decided to move its bookstore downtown and was again part of the motivation in partnering with Starbucks to bring the Seattle-based business to the Putnam County Courthouse Square.
"The whole thing is about giving back to the community, so it makes so much sense that the tips go back to the community," Gould said after she and new Starbucks manager Amy White presented a check for $1,250 to the Humane Society of Putnam County.
The check given to HSPC President Lynn Bohmer represented the sum total of all employee tips received during September and October.
While traditionally the tips received at Starbucks are divided up weekly among workers, the 17 staff members at the Greencastle store (including four DePauw students) are in full support of the idea of donating them to aid local organizations like the Putnam County Emergency Food Pantry, which will benefit from the tip jar through November and December.
"Part of what we wanted to do with it is be representative of everybody, everyone who comes in our store," Gould explained.
"And it's a sign of character," she added, "that not one single one of our employees said, 'Oh, so we're not going to get to keep our tips?' The team has embraced the whole idea."
New manager White agreed.
"DePauw wants it to be about community," she said of the coffee business, adding that Starbucks was envisioned as a "bridge" between town and gown in Greencastle.
The goal was to be a presence in the downtown community, and in fact, the mission statement at Starbucks even stresses "our neighborhood," Gould pointed out.
"It's not just about another business," she said, "but a business that wants to give back to the community."
Gould has 3-1/2 years of experience with Starbucks. She and White ran the Plainfield store out in front of Target, which ended the fiscal year as the No. 1 Indiana site among 104 Starbucks.
Meanwhile, the tips donation admittedly caught Bohmer and the Humane Society by surprise.
"Somebody came out to our store (Rescued Treasures in the old Brackney's building)," Bohmer recalled, "and said 'Here's a check for your reopening fund.'"
When Bohmer saw it was for $1,250, she investigated further and discovered the tips and community tie-in.
"This money isn't going for naught," Bohmer said. "It (the reopening) is going to happen."
And that will be "definitely sometime in 2013," she said, noting that a big sign, proclaiming "Reopening 2013," will soon be going up in front of the shelter on State Road 240.
Because of the generosity of donors like the Starbucks employees and the success of the HSPC store, the Humane Society has accomplished its reopening goals and is awaiting final negotiations with the county and the communities it serves.
Bohmer said the county commissioners have approved an Animal Control Board with appointments to be coming from the county, city and towns to be served, as well as the HSPC.
That board would in turn work out the details of the reopening and continuing operation of the animal shelter.
"With our being closed for a year," Bohmer said, "everybody, including our local governments, has seen the need, so we're all working as quickly as possible."
Gould admits that Starbucks has been quiet until now about the first two organizations it decided to help. However, the tip donation effort shapes up as a way for people to donate when they don't otherwise know who to give the money to or where to send a check.
"This makes it easy," Gould said, adding that local organizations that would like to be the recipient of future tips should contact Amy White at Starbucks for consideration.

There are some prominent issues that must be resolved before more users will have
the desire to switch to Linux. Most commercial application software is written for
Microsoft or Mac OS, and even though some are ported to Linux, a large number of
popular software applications are still not available. Some hardware is also not sup-
ported to the fullest capability possible. Linux relies on vendors to make their
drivers or hardware open to developers. Some manufacturers don't release infor-
mation for their hardware. This lack of information can cause the user some diffi-
culty in configuring the hardware—especially if no drivers are available for the
device. It can take a long time for a developer to write a Linux driver for recently
released hardware devices. These issues are decreasing in number as new releases
of the Linux kernel make improvements on support for 3D graphics, USB, IEEE1394,

According to innotop and Cacti, my database server is handling about 8 times as many
SHOW FIELDS statements than
SELECT or any other productive query. I'm using Rails 3.0, so it should cache the columns once they're loaded. I've seen reports that MySQL requires a temp table for every
SHOW FIELDS query, and my monitoring data bears that out too.
Admittedly, I am using ActiveRecord/Rails in a non-standard situation that involves starting lots (~400) of processes across a 100-200 computers that each load the entire Rails environment. These processes run for at least a few minutes, potentially 24+ hours, doing short bursts of database work every few minutes. Note that these processes don't use the normal HTTP request/response loop.
Is there any way to avoid this? We do have
config.cache_classes = true in our
config/environments/production.rb file. I'm actually running into database server scaling problems, and I think this issue is a major factor.

I initiated a regular improvisation class in Berlin, looking to create a hot group of performers to improvise and perform together in Berlin. I believe in creative optimism, physicality and meaningful movement. Each session is structured like a standalone master class, where we will look into a subject and develop it over the course of a two hour practice. We will learn how to redirect tools and knowledge to investigate and discover new modes of moving and performing which are both exciting and challenging. We will research in how to spontaneously and creatively respond to these tools as an individual, but also in a partnering or group setting.
If you can't come one day, don't worry! Single sessions can be attended.
A special guest will join us in April for our session on Wednesdays: Jazz pianist Sebastian Schunke.

"Going deeper" with Ricardo Ambrozio
Dates: 09. - 13.05.2016
The workshop will be divided in 3 parts:
12:00 - 13:30 h contemporary training for dancers with Ricardo Ambrozio
14:00 - 16:00 h Going deeper
Informal Showing: 13.05.2016 15:00 h
Registration: firstname.lastname@example.com
Price: 100 Euro
Description: A workshop of high physicality, based on elements of flying low, parkour, break dance, martial arts and capoeira in order to establish a language in common, and explore the limits of each one, stretching them until the limit and further. Untamed method aims to unleash the unknown power that our body and mind releases in situations of extreme stress, danger and/or pleasure. Fed by basic natural ways of movement (like animal styles of movement and natural reflexes and actions), it awakes our primitive instincts, and capacity of reaction.
In this intensive we will dive deeply into the source of the movement, alone and during partnering, aiming to reach the same power without muscular stress but through bone alignment and precise force vectors. To reach a high performance for longer and be able to enhance your limits, the movement should reach a fluidity and use all the combined physical forces to save the muscles from stress. We will explore floor movement, partnering, improvisation and repertory.
Bio: Born in the south of Brazil, Ricardo Ambrozio lived in Rio de Janeiro, where he had the opportunity to experience the best and the worst of Brazilian culture and day-to-day life.? His first contact with rhythm and movement was at the age of 6. After meeting and working intensively with Flavia Tapias, a Brazilian dancer, teacher and choreographer, Ricardo immersed himself deeper in dance and attended the 'Faculdade Angel Vianna' for two years. At the age of twenty he left Brazil to go to Lisbon, Portugal, to attend the 'Escola Superior de Dança' and work with some companies (Companhia de Dança de Almada, Company Istável).
At this time he also started to develop his own work as choreographer and teacher by blending all the influences that he had experienced in dance with a lot of energy and momentum.? After working with Helder Seabra in Company Istável (Porto, Portugal), he moved first to Amsterdam and then to Brussels to work with Bruno Caverna, Gerard Mosterd, Dogwolf (Chris de Feyter), Willy Dorner and Ultima Vez (Wim Vandekeybus).
While working with the Belgian company Ultima Vez, Ricardo Ambrozio has started to gather his own cultural projects (choreography, video, text and photo) under one name,one roof, one mark: Untamed. In August 2014 he left Ultima Vez in order to invest all his time and energy in his own creations and collaborations. He was part of the last two creations of Helder Seabra / Helka "When the birds fly low, the wind will blow" and "In Absentia". Never dropping is urge to create he made a solo " A sweet lullaby to Mr. Nameless" and is premiered a duet with Celine Werkhoven "Homemade" last month. The second piece of Untamed Productions "Homo Urbanus" will be finished in June 2016.

It serves as a resource for creative and authentic expression through dance, music and movement and sound. It offers a space for interactivity and communication which is spontaneous, deep and direct, allowing for new channels of creative potential to open. The Group Motion Workshop celebrates the language of movement as a language that anyone can speak and understand. In its most basic format, the so called Friday Night Workshop, the overlap of dancers and non-dancers and of different ages ads a powerful dimension of mutual learning and exchange of movement information and body/mind/spirit integration. As one observing and participating dancer/choreographer remarked:" You realize how much movement dancers have trained out of their bodies". The Workshop combines highly refined structures of improvisation, movement meditations, and contact dance with explorations of breath flow, sound, and movement qualities in an interactive exchange with live improvised acoustic and electronic music. These structures are practiced in ways of playing, discovering and experiencing individually and collectively the languages of movement and dance, sound and music. These structures reflect universal patterns of communication found in nature and the human psyche. They have the potential of tapping into archetypal and visualizations from the collective subconscious and forms of spontaneous compositional and choreographic creation. The practice of these dances in the space of creative interaction with music in the moment creates a ritual space of building community.

Now, maybe I should give you some context around how this comment came about... So that you don't think someone just came up to me out of the blue and said I was too old to do something.
Another person, whom I had just met, told me I had the personality to make a good lawyer.
"Ever think about going to law school?" they asked me.
"Hell-to-the-no," I said. "I love sticking up for the under dog when deserved. And I know how to make a great argument for anything. But law school? Books? Classes? That ain't for me."
They then told me I should rethink pursuing journalism, my first love. I said I would think about it, but made no promises.
When I was relaying this conversation to someone else a few hours later, I got to the part where my new acquaintance had mentioned that I would make a good lawyer.
"You're too old to go to law school now," they said.
I didn't have a comment back for them. I just walked away.
Too old?
I'm 34. What about my age makes me incapable of going to school and learning something new? Answer: NOTHING!
I will freely admit that what DOES make me incapable of going to law school and learning something new is my LACK OF FUCKING DESIRE to do it. But my age?
Wish I had had a better comeback at that moment than my silence. I just wasn't expecting that reaction to the story.

When asked about his band, Fozzy, Chris Jericho noted that while being a WWE star helped bring attention to the group, it also worked against them a little bit. Many felt that since Jericho was already established as a professional wrestler, he was simply doing the music thing to bring more attention to his grappling career. Chris reiterated that he is very passionate about music and wants the band to do really well.

Commission: No new sewer lines for Culver Road
Published: Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 1:58 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 1:58 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | Despite the County Commissions decision to not fund a $1.07 million sewer project for the benefit of 85 houses, Commissioner Reginald Murray said he intends to keep fighting for services for those residents in his district.
Thats not the end of it, said Murray, the District 4 commissioner. The vote was tied before Commission Chairman Hardy McCollum cast the deciding vote to not approve the funding. Ill keep pressing on, and it will come to fruition.
The 3-2 vote last week came after months of discussion on the feasibility of spending an estimated $13,000 per household to extend new sewer lines to residents off Culver Road, just outside the southwest boundary of Tuscaloosas city limits.
McCollum, in yet another heated discussion during the commissions Nov. 4 meeting, twice raised questions on whether any member of the County Commission was inappropriately involved with the project.
I want to ask this one more time, McCollum said just prior to the vote. Does anyone have an [ethical] conflict with this?
No commissioner said that he did.
Before Murray made the motion to hire Birmingham-based Bama Utility Contractors Inc., which had submitted the lowest bid to construct the sewer line, Farrington Snipes, the countys planning director, gave the commissioners a result of a survey of residents who would benefit from the project.
It showed that out of 84 respondents, almost one-third 24 households were renters, whereas 51 of the affected homes were owner-occupied.
Additionally, 52 of the respondents said they planned to pay to connect to the new line, 17 said they would not and six were undecided.
That was enough for Murray.
We have been more than accommodating through this whole project, and I think its time we approve this and move on to focusing on other things ..., he said. I think if you provide the sanitary sewer to the area, it will increase the number of owners versus renters.
The project dates back several years, with the most recent push in February with an initial plan to extend the line to the 85 houses in the county as well as 25 city residents for a total of $1.79 million. Under that plan, the county would have paid an estimated $1.4 million to build to its residents while the city would contribute $406,000 to provide service for residents in the city of Tuscaloosa.
Mayor Walt Maddox, however, at the time said that without federal money, the city likely would not proceed with its share. Weeks later, the City Council agreed and declined to extend sewer service.
Murray scaled back the project to include only county residents, but Commissioner Don Wallace said that he still was concerned that the city would not participate. However, he cast the only other affirmative vote besides Murray.
Theres a whole lot of problems with it, and Id feel a whole lot better if the city of Tuscaloosa was contributing, Wallace said. At a minimum, I think we need to be thinking about that down the road when asked to participate in a city-originated project.
Commissioner Bobby Miller said he considered the project unfair to county taxpayers who werent allowed to benefit from it.
You just dont take money from every citizen in this county and pay for projects of this magnitude ..., Miller said. Its not fair.

By Imran Khan
The news that the key ally in Pakistan's coalition government has pulled out of the already fragile coalition, comes as a surprise to exactly ... no one.
In quitting government the Muttahida Qaumi Movement, or the MQM, is playing a game that is regular feature of Pakistani politics.
It's game of brinkmanship, when a political party uses its leverage to get what it wants. Normally it picks a popular issue and uses that as an excuse to put pressure on the government. In this case it's fuel prices.
We have seen this before.
After the election in 2008, this was a government built on uneasy alliances. Making up the government were the big victors - the Pakistan People's Party. Then came the smaller parties: the Pakistan Muslim League-N led by former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, a loose affiliation of religious parties, and the MQM. All had competing agendas.
Jostling for influence
Sharif's PML-N pulled out early, saying that the government had backtracked on promises to restore the judiciary sacked under the military dictator, Pervez Musharraf.
After much backroom deal-making, various political groups jostled for influence. Sharif decided to take a back seat, of sorts. One of his key advisers told me that this government would soon implode, it didn't need any help from his party.
Then followed a period of calm. When I say calm, I mean that by Pakistani politics standards.
There was the fake degrees scandal, then President Asif Ali Zardari faced legal action over corruption charges, there was Asia Bibi's case - a Christian women arrested under a controversial blasphemy laws.
All the while those in opposition used each twist to batter the government.
Among Pakistanis, this was just run-of-the-mill political shenanigans that made for entertaining news shows, but no serious threat to the government.
But for a few hours on Monday morning, Pakistan felt like it could see early elections, that this government could fall. The MQM's decision to quit had people spooked. This was a big deal.
But then, just when some thought the MQM would deliver the killer punch - nothing.
The MQM announced that it would not seek to oust the government by declaring a motion of no-confidence.
That would have required unity among the opposition who are bitterly divided. Any no-confidence motion would have sparked early elections and potentially forced this government out.
That was the turning point.
Potential disaster
A political disaster simply became yet another political crisis. There seems to be a very simple reason for this. No one wants to see this government fall: not anyone in the opposition, not even in the army - the traditional coup makers of Pakistan.
This government needs to serve a full term. Democracy needs to be seen to work in Pakistan. If this government falls early, what is to stop the PPP, when in opposition, to devote its energies into bringing down the next one?
History has proved that could easily happen. The 1990s saw the two main parties, led by Sharif and the now murdered Benazir Bhutto, respectively, in and out of government.
Neither served a full term. Whatever Pakistanis think of their politicians, the politicians understand Pakistanis.
Clearly most in the country are frustrated with the political machinations and want democracy to work. So, no matter how unpopular, this government gets it that it is likely to survive.
The MQM fully understand this. It has made a play.
It is probable that MQM leaders will get some concessions from the prime minister and return to the government. They win, the government survives. But this is Pakistan and nothing surprises anyone, anymore.
Watch your screens - this political crisis could yet turn into a political disaster.
Imran Khan, a Doha-based correspondent, is reporting from across Pakistan.

Can home ice heal Ducks' wounds?
The Ducks know they're under intense pressure to turn things around and these next three games beginning with Wednesday's night home opener against Vancouver are what they hope will be the impetus to that.
The importance of that was reflected in a 75-minute meeting to not only watch the sins committed their dreadful 5-1 loss to St. Louis but hash out all the issues -- self-inflicted or not -- that plagued them in their winless three-game road trip to start the season.
Ducks coach Randy Carlyle, captain Ryan Getzlaf, alternate captain Saku Koivu and defenseman Paul Mara discussed the meeting and what they intend to do in order to win and restore some faith among their followers in this Register piece.
But these upcoming home affairs against Vancouver, Atlanta (on Friday) and Phoenix (on Sunday) have the potential of installing some sense of order or making things much more uncomfortable for either the players, Carlyle or General Manager Bob Murray. They will begin a four-game road trip Oct. 20 in Columbus.
"It's big," Getzlaf said. "Homestands are always big in this league no matter. It's tough to go out on the road and win hockey games. We're definitely putting an emphasis on these three hockey games and try to get the job done before we go out on the road again.
Said Carlyle: "There's always pressure in the home opener. There's always pressure when you play to open the season. There's always pressure. It's all part of pro sports."
