George F. Will: Opposition to common core surging as skepticism takes hold
Many proponents seem to deem it beneath their dignity to engage opponents' arguments, preferring to caricature opponents as political primitives and to dismiss them with flippancies such as this from Bill Gates: "It's ludicrous to think that multiplication in Alabama and multiplication in New York are really different." What is ludicrous is Common Core proponents disdaining concerns related to this fact: Fifty years of increasing Washington inputs into K-12 education has coincided with disappointing cognitive outputs from schools. Is it eccentric that it is imprudent to apply to K-12 education the federal touch that has given us HealthCare.gov?
The rise of opposition to the Common Core illustrates three healthy aspects of today's politics. First, new communication skills and technologies enable energized minorities to force new topics onto the political agenda. Second, this uprising of local communities against state capitals, the nation's capital and various muscular organizations (e.g., the Business Roundtable, the Chamber of Commerce, teachers unions, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation) demonstrates that although the public agenda is malleable, a sturdy portion of the public is not.
Third, political dishonesty has swift, radiating and condign consequences. Opposition to the Common Core is surging because Washington, hoping to mollify opponents, is saying, in effect: "If you like your local control of education, you can keep it. Period." To which a burgeoning movement is responding: "No. Period."

Mab's Group
Mab and her husband have been growing cassava for three years, to support their family. Mab's group consists of four members, three females and one male. She is now leading the group to apply for other loans, after their previous loans have been repaid. As the leader, Mab plans to use her portion to spend on labor fees, to hire someone to clean grasses from her farm and also to buy fertilizers. She hopes this loan will allow her to grow good yielding crops and, hence, she can sell the products for a higher price. This will ensure that she will be able to feed her family better and her child can remain in school.
Additional Information
About VisionFund CambodiaVisionFund Cambodia is a Christian organization and microfinance institution that provides small loans and other financial services to improve the lives of children, empower poor women and their families, and grow successful businesses. The organization works primarily in rural parts of Cambodia and has distinguished itself by targeting the very poor who require smaller loan sizes, regardless of religious beliefs, gender or ethnic background.
Kiva lenders' funds will help the organization to expand into the northeastern provinces of the country, which have historically been underserved and difficult to reach with financial services.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Bank holding company, Wells Fargo & Company (
WFC ) was downgraded to "Neutral" on Monday by
Compass Point.
Analysts at Compass Point downgraded WFC from a "Buy" to
"Neutral" Monday with a price target of $37, a 10% decrease from
the previous target of $41. The new price target, suggests a 7.4%
increase from the stock's closing price of $34.25 Friday, and a
25.5% increase from the YTD price of $27.56.
Although the price target has been lowered, Compass Point
believes that WFC has a good chance of turning around the decline
in the long term. Factors such as economic growth an rising
interest rates may help the company, but they will only achieve a
higher price target if they are able to successfully save on
A Compass Point analyst stated, "It has become apparent that the
company will have a difficult time showing meaningful earnings
growth in the next year due to: (1) interest rates at historic
lows, (2) 13% of the loan portfolio in run-off and (3) expenses
above a $12 billion quarterly run rate. Furthermore, the company's
recent decision to keep conforming mortgages on the balance sheet,
versus selling to the GSEs, illustrates the predicament WFC finds
itself in. The company does not want to turn away deposits because
they could prove to be valuable when rates are higher, but needs to
find a place to park the excess liquidity. If they buy MBS
securities, they risk premium amortization from ultra-low rates,
but if they put it on their balance sheet, they are taking greater
duration/interest rate risk. Either way, this dynamic makes it very
difficult for WFC to grow its top-line."
Wells Fargo shares were mostly flat during premarket trading
The Bottom Line
Shares of Wells Fargo ( WFC ) have a 2.57%
dividend yield, based on Friday's closing stock price of $34.25.
The stock has technical support in the $30-$32 price area. If the
shares can firm up, we see overhead resistance around the $36-$37
price levels.
Wells Fargo & Company ( WFC ) is not
recommended at this time, holding a Dividend.com DARS™ Rating of
3.3 out of 5 stars.

Sales360 And CartoonLink Form Strategic Partnership To Serve The Automotive Dealership Market
Oct. 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Automotive direct mail provider Sales360 has just signed an exclusive agreement with Seattle-based CartoonLink, Inc. to provide a new line of mail products that feature the company's signature personalized cartoon creative approach. CartoonLink founder Stu Heinecke, a Direct Mail Association (DMA) Hall of Fame-nominated marketer and one of The Wall Street Journal cartoonists, will orchestrate the new program with Sales360, bringing his unique bed of test experience in the use of cartoons in direct response marketing. Sales360 is an Automotive Direct Marketing Agency which prints over 10 million direct mail pieces monthly for hundreds of dealers nationwide. The companies plan on bringing the same record-breaking results that mark much of Burst's and Heinecke's work for many of the world's biggest direct marketers, to the automotive marketplace. "In our 30 years of testing, we have found cartoons are one of the most effective involvement devices in existence," explains Heinecke, who is also the author of Drawing Attention, a book that explains how to use the magic of cartoons in various business and marketing missions. He points to the results of countless editorial readership surveys, which often show cartoons are the best-read and remembered part of magazines and newspapers. "We often see people reacting to our mailings in ways that simply don't happen with other forms of mail," says Heinecke, "including treating our pieces as keepsakes and posting them to refrigerator doors for months or longer." Heinecke asserts the kind of engagement generated by personalized cartoons often translates into stronger response and sales numbers."Stu already has a tremendous track record, having created record-breaking campaigns for Forbes, Time, Inc., AARP, Easter Seals, the NBA and more," adds Sales360 President Shawn Burst, "and we're already seeing great numbers in preliminary tests for dealerships." But Heinecke warns, this is not simply a matter of slapping a few cartoons onto a mailing. "This is very tricky stuff," he explains, "I seem to be the only person so far who has successfully defied the 'Don't use humor' decry from direct marketing experts of the past." While Mr. Heinecke has amassed a large track record of successes with his use of cartoons, other direct marketers have failed to catch on, making him something of a celebrity in the marketing world. "There's no one else like him," says Burst, "and Sales360 is the only way to get his expertise and content for automotive mailings." Lasco Ford, who participated in a pilot campaign, attributed record-breaking results to the program. Sales360 targeted 5,000 Ford owners not in Lasco Ford's database and sent out a cartoon themed buyback offer. "We already mail our database monthly," explains Matt Lasco, General Manager of Lasco Ford. "We wanted to go out and gain new customers to increase our market share," said Lasco. The final tally of 29 cars delivered on 5000 pieces of mail was a pleasant surprise. Lasco has since signed up for a subsequent event in October. Sales360 is opening the CartoonLink program with a series of buy-back and event-driven mailings through its dealer and reseller network.

My question is, is the class included below for a single-reader single-writer queue class thread-safe? This kind of queue is called lock-free, even if it will block if the queue is filled. The data structure was inspired by Marc Gravell's implementation of a blocking queue here at StackOverflow.
The point of the structure is to allow a single thread to write data to the buffer, and another thread to read data. All of this needs to happen as quickly as possible.
A similar data structure is described in an article at DDJ by Herb Sutter, except the implementation is in C++. Another difference is that I use a vanilla linked list, I use a linked list of arrays.
Rather than just including a snippet of code I include the whole thing with comment with a permissive open source license (MIT License 1.0) in case anyone finds it useful, and wants to use it (as-is or modified).
This is related to other questions asked on Stack Overflow of how to create a blocking concurrent queues (see Creating a blockinq Queue in .NET and Thread-safe blocking queue implementation in .NET).
Here is the code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Threading;
using System.Diagnostics;
namespace CollectionSandbox
/// This is a single reader / singler writer buffered queue implemented
/// with (almost) no locks. This implementation will block only if filled
/// up. The implementation is a linked-list of arrays.
/// It was inspired by the desire to create a non-blocking version
/// of the blocking queue implementation in C# by Marc Gravell

/// This marks the location to read new data from.

/// Indicates that no more data is going to be written to the node.
public bool completed = false;
/// A node is an array of data items, a pointer to the next item,

A Reason to Hate
Timothy Kincaid
March 24th, 2008
There is no reason anyone should like billy he's a little bitch. And a homosexual that NO ONE LIKES
That was the heading of a Facebook page called "Every One That Hates Billy Wolfe."
The NY Times tells us that Billy "likes girls", but that matters little to those looking for a reason to beat him. And they have beat him. Badly. And repeatedly.
So his family is suing one of the bullies. And they are considering suing his public high school in Fayetteville, Ark.
The school has a tolerance program. But somehow this didn't stop Billy from being beaten. Nor did it stop some administrators from blaming Billy first (only to have to retract their accusations when presented with videotape). I don't know if their policies specifically include tolerance lessons based on sexual orientation or if bullies and administrators just chose not to take them seriously.
Anti-gays tell us that kids get picked on for lots of reasons: wearing glasses, being a little heavy, or just no reason at all so we shouldn't have anti-bullying policies that specifically protect gay kids. But it sure seems to be the gay kids – or those like Billy who are labeled "homosexual" by their tormentors – that end up bloody or dead.

Ronda Rousey apparently reamed out Paige VanZant at a Reebok photo shootRyan McKinnell at Cagewriter15 hrs ago
As former UFC women's bantamweight champion, Ronda Rousey had her fair share of intense rivalries.
Who could forget her first – and arguably greatest – rivalry with current UFC champion, Miesha Tate? Or how about her serious beef with Brazilian Bethe Correia? Heck, even "The Preacher's Daughter" Holly Holm caught some of Rousey's vitriol, right before kicking her in the head and ending Rousey's reign as champ last November.
Now, we're finding out that apparently Rousey's mean-mugging gaze extends past her own division, and no female UFC fighters are safe.
Her latest victim, according to rival Miesha Tate, is none other than current "Dancing with the Stars" frontrunner and UFC 115-pound contender Paige VanZant.
"You know what she did to Paige?" asked Tate on Thursday's edition of "The Joe Rogan Experience" podcast. "So, Paige was also at that VIP party [referencing a prior party both she and VanZant were attending] – and Paige and I have spoken, we're friendly, but I don't know her that well – but anyway, she felt the need, she came up to me, she's like, 'Miesha, Miesha, I have to tell you this experience I had with Ronda.' "
Miesha Tate's common ground with Donald Trump: Disliking Ronda RouseyAndreas Hale at Cagewriter18 hrs ago
In the world of combat sports, just about everyone has taken a swing at presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. Whether it's different philosophies on culture, finances or politics, Trump has proven to be quite the polarizing personality.
But one person who has found common ground with Trump happens to be UFC women's bantamweight champion Miesha Tate.
Tate recently stated that she would like to see a Republican in the White House and explained that both her and Trump share similar resilient traits where they can bounce back from failure and shock the world.
But perhaps the thing they share most is a common enemy.
"We do have one thing in common: he's not a Ronda Rousey fan," Tate told TMZ. "That's one thing he's got going for him if I can give him any credit where credit is due."
Bellator fighter Jordan Parsons dies after hit-and-run accidentKevin Iole at Cagewriter1 day ago
Jordan "Pretty Boy" Parsons, a 25-year-old contender in Bellator's featherweight division, died Wednesday of injuries he sustained in a hit-and-run auto accident Sunday in Delray Beach, Fla.
Parsons was struck by a gray or silver 2012 or 2013 Range Rover while crossing the street shortly after midnight on May 1. He was taken to Delray Medical Center, where a portion of his right leg was amputated.
On Wednesday, Bellator MMA president Scott Coker confirmed the news in a statement.
"It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of a dear member of the Bellator family, Jordan Parsons," Coker said. "Jordan was an exceptional athlete and a rising star in the sport. But more importantly, he was an exceptional young man. Jordan was hard-working, dedicated, intelligent, and a pleasure to be around. He represented all the reasons we love this sport. It is a terribly tragic loss and our thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends, and teammates."
Conor McGregor, Nate Diaz trade insults as UFC 200 loomsAndreas Hale at Cagewriter2 days ago
Conor McGregor may not be fighting at UFC 200, but he isn't going away quietly.
The UFC featherweight champion hosted an impromptu fan Q&A on Twitter on Monday where he discussed everything from how well he thinks UFC 200 will sell without him on the card to his desire to eventually step into the Octagon again with Nate Diaz.
McGregor believes that UFC 200 will not accumulate 1.5 million buys without him on the card and went so far as to suggest that the PPV record held by last year's Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao showdown was in his sights. While that may be a bold assessment, it's become typical McGregor.
The Irishman continued on his random Twitter rampage by stating that he's ready to face the winner of UFC 200's interim featherweight title fight between Jose Aldo and Frankie Edgar so that he can unify the titles.
"I look forward to my end-of-year unification bout," McGregor tweeted. "But like I said before. These featherweights don't understand..."
It didn't take long for McGregor to set his sights on Diaz. He stated that he will "school" Diaz in a rematch and went so far as to suggest that Diaz was making more excuses in his UFC 196 victory than McGregor made in losing.
Caros Fodor to take on 'crime-fighting' brother 'Phoenix Jones' in WSOFKevin Iole at Cagewriter2 days ago
Caros Fodor has a little advice before hanging up and his tone has changed. He's spent about 20 minutes discussing his July 30 bout in the World Series of Fighting and going over the strengths and weaknesses of his opponent, Phoenix Jones.
He knows Jones better than most, though, because Jones is his brother, whose real name is Ben Fodor. The two don't get along, and haven't for some time. But with their fight now booked, Caros admits, "It's kind of surreal that this is really happening."
Ben Fodor is, to be kind, a character. Phoenix Jones is his alter ego, a so-called crime fighter in Seattle who wears a costume as if he were a modern-day Batman.
Asked about his brother's superhero shtick, Caros Fodor sniffs dismissively.
"It's [strange]," he said of his brother portraying himself as a crime fighter. "I think it's a gimmick for attention, if you want to know the truth. He started out meaning well, but, I don't know. You know, I don't even like Marvel comic books. I can't read the super hero stuff. I just don't understand it. I'm not belittling it, but I don't get it.
Rousey, Mayweather, Pacquiao and McGregor land on ESPN's 'Fame' listAndreas Hale at Cagewriter3 days ago
In the latest issue of ESPN The Magazine, the publication premiered "The Fame Index" that utilizes a formula that "combines athlete paychecks – salary and endorsements – with social media fan base and Google search popularity" to figure out who the top 50 famous athletes currently are.
The world of combat sports was represented well as a pair of boxers (Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao) along with a pair of UFC fighters (Ronda Rousey and Conor McGregor) landed on the list. Rousey, McGregor, Mayweather and Pacquiao all fell in behind the top 10 list that was dominated mostly by soccer players and consisted of (in order) Cristiano Ronaldo, LeBron James, Lionel Messi, Neymar, Roger Federer, Kevin Durant, Tiger Woods, James Rodriguez, Rafael Nadal and Kobe Bryant.
'Harry Potter' villain victorious in first MMA fightAndreas Hale at Cagewriter8 days ago
Gregory Goyle has graduated from the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry using a wand to cage fighting with his hands and feet.
Josh Herdman, the actor who played Goyle in eight "Harry Potter" movies, has left his acting career behind for the time being and made his successful MMA amateur debut over the weekend at the City Pavilion outside of London, England.
The 28-year-old, who has been training in Japanese jujitsu for the past five years, defeated Poland's Janusz Walachowski by unanimous decision. Herdman competed for the recently launched UK promotion Rise of Champions, which was holding its second event since debuting last October.
Herdman impressed with his striking ability and took home the decision and plans to continue fighting in hopes of eventually turning pro.
"It's raw, exciting and unpredictable," the buffed-up child-actor-turned-MMA-fighter told The Mirror. "I find it more interesting than boxing although I appreciate the beauty and art in boxing. It also made sense to move onto MMA because of my jujitsu training."
Daniel Cormier to meet Jon Jones in main event of UFC 200 on July 9Kevin Iole at Cagewriter9 days ago
There was no surprise on Wednesday when the UFC announced on "Good Morning America" that the main event of UFC 200 will be a rematch between champion Daniel Cormier andinterim champion Jon Jones for the light heavyweight belt on July 9 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Jones, then the outright champion, routed Cormier in the main event of UFC 182 on Jan. 3, 2015, in Las Vegas, taking a lopsided unanimous decision. But Jones had a series of legal problems after that and he was stripped of his title in April 2015 when he was involved in a hit-and-run traffic accident in Albuquerque, N.M., where he trains.
Cormier won the vacant title in his absence, submitting Anthony "Rumble" Johnson in the second round of UFC 187 on May 23 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Dana White: Conor McGregor will 'fight on 201, 202, 203'Andreas Hale at Cagewriter9 days ago
If Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz are going to have their rematch, it almost certainly won't be at UFC 200.
The proposed rematch was originally scheduled to headline UFC 200 until McGregor was pulled from the card after he didn't make himself available for a news conference in Las Vegas last week. Despite public outcry to allow the Irishman to fight, UFC president Dana White has stood firm that McGregor would not be placed back on the July card and reiterated his position under no uncertain terms when approached by TMZ Tuesday morning.
"Conor's his own guy, he's going to do what he's going to do but he's not fighting on [UFC] 200," White said while mentioning that he has no ill will toward McGregor. "Listen, he'll fight on 201, 202, 203, whatever, I don't know when, but we'll get it figured out."
The other half of the equation, Nate Diaz, made headlines when he stated at Friday's UFC 200 news conference that he was not interested in facing another opponent and would instead go "on vacation."
White stated his desire to keep Diaz on the card and offered the Stockton fighter essentially any fight that he desired in an effort to keep him on UFC 200.
Bellator lightweight Djamil Chan overcomes autism to make the big timeKevin Iole at Cagewriter9 days ago
Djamil Chan said he doesn't want to be pitied. The Bellator MMA newcomer is autistic, which makes the fact that he finds himself competing at the highest level of mixed martial arts all the more amazing.
And anyone who watched Chan's Bellator debut last week against Richard Patishnock would no doubt be pitying Patishnock and not Chan.
After working his way off the ground, Chan landed one of the best overhand rights of the year that all but finished Patishnock. The rest were the formalities, like how long it would take the referee to get in to stop the bout. It was over at 3:09 of the first round.
Chan, 25, grew up in The Netherlands, where so many of the great kick boxers train. He was into fighting from a young age and said he dropped out of school while he was in high school.
He said he prefers not to discuss his autism, because he doesn't want to be pitied. He wants to be judged as a fighter and said he's taking his job more seriously now that he is a father.

Tucson - Seeking a dose of experience, speed and outfield depth, the Rockies signed 18-year veteran Steve Finley to a minor-league contract Saturday.
Finley, who turns 42 on March 12, signed as a nonroster player. The contract, a one-year deal worth $1 million, is contingent upon Finley making the final 25-man roster. He's scheduled to practice this morning.
"He will be coming in competing as an extra outfielder and a left-handed bat," manager Clint Hurdle said.
Finley figures to compete with Cory Sullivan, last season's starter in center, and Alexis Gomez for a final roster spot.
General manager Dan O'Dowd said the Rockies had been searching for a veteran outfielder. It wasn't until the past few days that Finley turned his attention to the Rockies.
"I think now he clearly understands the situation here and how he might fit in," O'Dowd said. "There is a big upside for us. The contract is not guaranteed, but if he makes our team he gives us some experience out there with a lot of young players."
Finley is well-known for his speed and ability to chase down flies. He hit 12 triples last season, tying Willie Mays for the Giants' club record. Still, the looming question is whether he still can be a productive hitter in spot duty or as a pinch hitter. He hit .246 with six homers last year and 40 RBIs in 139 games (103 starts). That average was well below his .272 career number.
"He's proven to be in good shape, and he played a volume of games last year," Hurdle said. Finley has 303 home runs and 320 career stolen bases, one of only six players with 300 homers and 300 thefts. He is hitting .314 at Coors Field.
"He's a tough out, even left on left," Rockies southpaw Jeff Francis said. "He was a guy at the top of the order that I had to worry about when he got on base. Old or not, he could run."
Short and sweet talk
Hurdle plans to let his young team stand on its own this season. He stayed with that script Saturday morning when he delivered a short talk before the first full-squad workout.
"He basically said it was time to do it, rather than talk about it," all-star left fielder Matt Holliday said. "He said we've got the talent in the room and now it's time to go out and perform at a high level."
A crew from MLB Productions outfitted Holliday with a microphone and filmed his workout Saturday as part of a production for the planned re-release of "The Natural." Holliday came through, pounding the ball like Roy Hobbs. Said Holliday: "I really like where I'm at right now, and I'm excited to get it going."

STARKVILLE -- There already is a bit of desperation, a lot of frustration, and some shock in the voice of Mississippi State volleyball coach Jenny Hazelwood.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Ed Allen's energy is infectious. But after only a few minutes with the new University of Alabama volleyball coach it's very easy to get pumped up about the chances for the sport to flourish at the school.
FULTON --Rashad Pargo knows the pecking order. After using his first season at Itawamba Community College to redshirt, Pargo, a former standout at Aberdeen High School, was able to watch his former AHS teammate make an impact with the Indians as a freshman.
STARKVILLE -- Seventeen games at Humphrey Coliseum and a road trip to defending national champion Texas A&M highlight the Mississippi State women's basketball team's schedule for the 2011-12 season, which was released Tuesday.
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- The University of Alabama football team worked out in full pads for two hours Tuesday at the Thomas-Drew Practice Fields.
OXFORD -- Fifth-year University of Mississippi women's basketball coach Renee Ladner's 2011-12 team will face a schedule that includes 13 teams that advanced to postseason last year, including five that played in the NCAA tournament a year ago.
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- The University of Alabama women's basketball team will have a 2011-12 schedule that features 14 games against teams that advanced to the postseason last season.
STARKVILLE -- Faith Steinwedell believes she was destined to play volleyball in a major conference 1,900 miles away from her home in La Jolla, Calif.
Nutt announced sophomore Barry Brunetti will start the season-opener against BYU on Sept. 3 following junior Randall Mackey's arrest for disorderly conduct after a fight at a downtown Oxford bar early Tuesday morning.
STARKVILLE -- Shane McCardell has finally found a home at defensive end. The objective for the Mississippi State football team is to keep him there as long as possible.
SCOOBA -- Justin Cox is ready to take on a different role. After two years of playing quarterback and being the one everyone looked to to set the tone, the former West Point High School standout and Mississippi State signee has shifted his focus to defense.

FORT COLLINS — As is the case with most teams, Colorado State has issues to address as it enters the stretch run of the season.
But at least CSU coach Jim McElwain doesn't have to worry about moving around players and plugging holes because of injuries.
Colorado State (4-5, 2-2 Mountain West) has not lost a full-time starter to a season-ending injury.
Of CSU players with current ailments, McElwain said the least likely to play Saturday against visiting Nevada (3-6, 2-4) is sophomore Nick Januska, a reserve safety and special-teams contributor who has concussion symptoms and is not yet cleared to return to practice.
"We've got some guys (banged up), but it's not like there's a lot of them," McElwain said, no doubt keeping fingers crossed.
Shortly after being named Colorado State football coach in December 2011, McElwain made two of his first calls to fill two strength-and-conditioning positions.
Speaking Monday during his weekly news conference, McElwain gave much of the credit for the team's relatively good health to head strength-and-conditioning coach Mike Kent and assistant Rashad Harris.
Kent was at Louisville (2000-03) when McElwain coached the Cardinals' wide receivers. Harris was a standout Louisville defensive end at that time. They were two of McElwain's first hires at CSU.
"There are things you do as a player beginning in January to prepare for the grind of the season," McElwain said. "The guys did that."
Stressful job. In light of medical issues faced over the weekend by the Broncos' John Fox and Houston Texans' Gary Kubiak, McElwain was asked about the challenges that coaches face in balancing the stress.
"I wouldn't want it any other way," McElwain said. "I always wanted to take the last shot to win a game, because I know I can make it. But stress is a big part of this profession. I've seen it take its toll on a lot of great people. It's different today than it was.
"But that pressure you put on yourself to move forward, to move a group of people forward, to more an organization forward, to move a university forward, to change the way people think — I want the ball."
Footnotes. Starting CSU offensive right guard Jordan Gragert (sore knee, ankle) may have his practice repetitions reduced and McElwain expects starting center Weston Richburg to take some reps at guard during the week in case Richburg must play that position. ... Richburg, a senior, on the Rams needing three more wins to become bowl eligible: "These next four games are crucial for us."

OK Here goes. I have run your iTunes info script and its findings are on the screen shot below:
Although there is an iTunes Media Folder on the desktop, there is also one in the iTunes folder as your script tells us. That one in the iTunes folder contains these folders: >Automatically add to iTunes
and one file: iTunes Preferences.plist
You didn't ask, but the only contents of the Desktop iTunes Media folder are the Automatically add to iTunes folder and the iTunes Preferences.plist
The only .itl files are in backup. None is in iTunes itself. Every time I try to start iTunes, it generates a new, empty itl file and writes all over any active Library files it can find. I have strong misgivings about opening iTunes again just to look at the preferences unless that is absolutely necessary because it will involve a lot more adjustments after and I wonder if it cannot be done without. What do you think? In other words whether the importation can be done all in one movement and then look at iTunes.itl and the preferences to see if it has done what you want.
I have turned off AVG in its antivirus mode. Is that sufficient for the time being? Should I try stopping all AVG programmes that are running with Task Manager or do I need to rename the .exe files or even uninstall? I get nervous with nothing, though so would regard that as a last resort.
I have backed up all the files that I think are important.
Prof_ST Apr 29, 2013 8:27 PM
in response to Prof_ST
Sorry, when I ran your script I did not notice it had started up iTunes. The iTunes Libary.itl file is now on the desktop and has overwritten the file that was there.
In Preferences\Advanced the iTunes Media folder address is shown to be Users\User\Music\iTunes.
It was as expected I am glad to say.
turingtest2 Apr 30, 2013 3:22 AM
in response to Prof_ST
Every time iTunes starts up it will attempt to open the last library file that it had open unless you press and hold down shift and keep holding until asked to choose or create the library. Currently your active library file is on your desktop and any supporting files that are supposed to go with it will be recreated there if missing.
1. If you haven't already done so I would apply the permissions fix outlined earlier to the folder C:\Users\User\Music\iTunes just to be on the safe side.
2. Open C:\Users\User\Music\iTunes and create a folder called Old. Move any of the following that can be found into the Old folder:
iTunes Library.itl
iTunes Library Extras.itdb
iTunes Library Genius.itdb
iTunes Music Library.xml
sentinel (hidden)
Album Artwork (folder)
and delete any *.tmp files.
3. From the desktop move any of the following that can be found into C:\Users\User\Music\iTunes:
iTunes Library.itl
iTunes Library Extras.itdb
iTunes Library Genius.itdb
iTunes Library.xml (rename as iTunes Music Library.xml, or just delete - iTunes will rebuild)
sentinel (hidden)
Album Artwork (folder)
and delete any *.tmp files.
4. Click the icon to launch iTunes and immediately press and hold down the SHIFT key. Keep holding until asked to choose or create a library. Click choose and browse to C:\Users\User\Music\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl
5. Go to Edit > Preferences > Advanced and correct the media folder location to C:\Users\User\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media. If iTunes prompts to consolidate say No.
6. Check under File > Library > Organize Library... that the Rearrange files... box is greyed out. If not tick the check box and click OK.
7. Run the script Unconsolidated to see if there is anything that isn't where it should be. If there is you can either use File > Library > Organize Library... Consolidate files and then manually clean up the originals, or use my script ConsolidateByMoving which will tidy up as it goes.

Thanks for all this. It is very clear.
I have reached step 3. and have a couple of questions before completing.
In your last post you were interested in my two iTunes Media folders. But in this post you don't mention what I am to do about them. Do I delete the iTunes Media folder on the Desktop? And if so, do I do that after the complete restorarion or before, or do I just ignore it now that everything else is in the iTunes folder?
turingtest2 May 1, 2013 3:18 AM
in response to Prof_ST
Once you've got through to step 7 anything still left in the iTunes Media folder on the desktop should be a redundant copy which can be deleted.
Prof_ST May 1, 2013 7:09 PM
in response to turingtest2
I am doing well.
I have done all you said.
The iTunes is now back where it is supposed to be and with a restored library in the right place. The same number of tracks/songs/titles are in it. The ratings and number of plays are preserved. This is great progress.
I have a few problems still.
The process has generated a fair number of new or duplicate playlists. Do I just delete? Are there any I should not?
More worryingly it has also generated some new folders, for instance it has created a folder called Music with just a few of my CDs in it. I don't understand why or what to do about it.
I haven't yet gone through everything, but there seems to be some duplication of the music now as well. Or could that have been the problem before? I shall look this weekend and see if I can pinpoint which albums have been duplicated and when that happened.
But I am very pleased with progress. Thanks.
Is it now safe to update iTunes to the latest version or do we need to tweak things first?
Thanks a lot.

Hmm, apart from step 7 which was supposed to create a playlist for you to review, none of the other steps should have created new playlists. If you've used the File > Add Folder to Library command that can import any m3u files that are in the added folders. You can delete any playlists that you don't have a need for, althjough I would keep any Purchased or Purchased on <Device> ones as they will resurect on your next purchase.
The default naming scheme for music files is ..\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\<Artist>\<Album>\## <Name>.<Ext>. If you still have artist folders at the level of iTunes Media then check that you corrected the media folder location, as per step 5, and that you did step 6. Check also under Edit > Preferences > Advanced that Keep organized... is ticked. If already ticked, and files are in the wrong place, untick it, apply the change, then go back and select the option again.
Prof_ST May 4, 2013 2:01 AM
in response to turingtest2
Your patience with me is greatly appreciated.
As I delve into the way my library is organized, with your help, I now realize it is not at all like you say it should be. I have hardly any music in the \iTunes\iTunes Media\Music folder. In fact it is at several different levels within iTunes and subfolders that have been created over the years.
When I went to step 5 (above) and Go to Edit>Preferences>Advanced and corrected the media folder to the default location iTunes did not ask to consolidate. I have not repeated the step.
When I go to step 6 and check under File>Library>Organize Library there are two options one is Consolidate (which I have left unchecked) and the other is Reorganize which is greyed out. There is no Keep organized option. The reason I have left Consolidate unchecked is that earlier you said that I might end up with a library double the size that it is at present because of duplication of tracks and we decided that with one as large as mine that would be quite a task to sort out manually.
So if I want to move those songs that are at the level of iTunes Media into the iTunes Media\Music folder could you explain precisely how I should do that? Should I do that with each folder that contains the music files?
Thanks again
turingtest2 May 4, 2013 2:37 AM
in response to Prof_ST Solved
To make sure iTunes is organizing the files inside the media folder in the normal way go to Edit > Preferences > Advanced and untick Keep iTunes Media folder organized, click OK, then go back and enable that option again.
You can run my script Unconsolidated to see if there is and media connected to iTunes which is located outside of the iTunes Media folder. If there is you can either use File > Library > Organize Library... Consolidate files and then manually clean up the originals, or use my script ConsolidateByMoving which will tidy up as it goes.
If you think there may be media inside the media folder not currently connected to iTunes you can use File > Add Folder to Libray and select the media folder. This should add in any unknown content. You can then go to the Songs view, hold down Shift and click View > Show Exact Duplicate Items, then if any are shown you can sort on Date Added and delete those added today.

I have just realized that I have started asking you about something rather different from my original question.
The iTunes library is now restored and everything is back in its rightful position. My question is solved.
I can't tell you how grateful I am to you for helping me to sort that out. Thank you very much. I greatly appreciate your care and persistence in helping me through this.
Since I have started asking you a different question, I should close this particular conversation.
The questions I want to ask relates to a post of yours from 2011, but which still continues to attract comments, I shall place further questions there.
