* Note: because of TIA/RIOT changes, the state file format has changed
again, and old state files will not work with this release.
* Improved handling of 'illegal' VSYNC signals, which sometimes created
'short' frames that caused massive flickering. Also improved
related behaviour when VSYNC isn't used at all.
* Improved sound generation with ROMs that have irregular scanline
counts. This fixes many demo ROMs as well as Quadrun, where
previously there would be 'gaps' in the sound output.
* Improved emulation of RIOT chip, in particular the behaviour of
reading from TIMINT. Also, D6 of the Interrupt Flag register is now
properly set on active transition of the PA7 pin.
* Fixed bug in DPC+ bankswitch scheme; the music in "Stay Frosty 2"
wasn't playing correctly.
* The ROM properties database now uses 'Auto' instead of 'Auto-select'
everywhere. This makes for less typing when running from the
* Updated included PNG library to latest stable version.
I didn't get to the TIA fixes, which is why this is a 3.7.x release instead of 3.8. However, there are some nice sound fixes which improve many ROMs, including Quadrun (the 'quadrun, quadrun, quadrun' speech no longer has gaps).
As usual, please report any bugs in this thread or directly by email.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — A recently unsealed whistle-blower lawsuit claims a civilian Navy employee and a Navy contractor engaged in a bribery and kickback scheme going back to at least 2004.
The lawsuit was first filed in a federal court in Georgia in 2006. It predates by more than four years criminal charges brought by federal prosecutors in Rhode Island in 2011 that allege a similar scheme by some of the same people cost the government $10 million.
Authorities would not comment on why the contractor and Navy employee were allowed to continue their alleged criminal conduct for years after authorities were first alerted to it.
One of the men named in the lawsuit has pleaded guilty to similar allegations in the criminal case. The other has pleaded not guilty.

text: While vacationing in Alaska a few weeks ago, my Zeiss bino's had a problem with the focus knob. I was worried this meant I would not have them for the opening of Montana's archery elk and deer season this weekend. I sent them to Zeiss in Valdez, Ak with a note of what was wrong and the fact I was really hoping to have them back for the opener. Well, last thursday I received them back from Zeiss at my home in Montana, working great and even cleaned, all at NO CHARGE! With all the bad customer service we have today and the fact not very many folks stand behind their products, I was really happy I went with Zeiss and will continue to do so in the future!

For those of you with the instant "Connection lost" error message after pressing "GET" i might have a simple workaround.
1. First, as usual, make a backup copy of:
Win7/Vista: %userprofile%\Documents\Telltale Games\The Walking Dead\
XP: %userprofile%\My Documents\Telltale Games\The Walking Dead\
(International users: Exchange "My Documents" for the translation into your language from here on)
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Telltale Games/TheWalkingDead/
2. Download and unzip the attached Empty_PatchFS.zip
3. Copy the contained WalkingDead101PatchFs.json and WalkingDead101PatchFs.updated.json into:
Win7/Vista: %userprofile%\Documents\Telltale Games\The Walking Dead\SyncFs\Meta
XP: %userprofile%\My Documents\Telltale Games\The Walking Dead\SyncFs\Meta
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Telltale Games/TheWalkingDead/SyncFs/Meta
and overwrite the files if they exist.
On Mac you have to write protect both files. On windows they already are.
4. Start the game and download episodes
5. Close the game
6. Delete WalkingDead101PatchFs.json and WalkingDead101PatchFs.updated.json from the Meta folder
7. Start the game and make sure the game still works as intended
Technical background:
This workaround temporarily disables the latest patches of the game, which broke the download for some people. That's why you have to undo it in the later steps, so you get updates again.

The Zimlet I am developing is in the production server; it is some .jsp pages.
At home I used _dev in the zDesktop version.
Now I need to do some minor changes, such as connecting to the server DB instead of mine, so it is in _dev but in the server.
But when a change is made on the source jsp page, when I reload that page on Firefox I still see the old one.
I can stop/start the zimbra server or do "zmmailboxdctl restart", but are two slow solutions; anybody does know a way to do like in the zDesktop environment?

El Grande
You have seen El Grande in mid-century comic books, used wherever simple, black-and-white ideas had to be driven hard, all the way home. The design was adopted by American grocery stores, by supermarkets, by catalogues, and by all who required a winner in the presentation shouting match. Jim Parkinson, no mean enthusiast for the straightforward simplicity of the period, prepared this design for Font Bureau; FB 1993

Off the compressor is a 10' heat-transfer hose for air cooling. As shown, a 10' intake snorkel assures clean, dry air when properly positioned under the boat top.
Suggested options: Addit100' packages; hose extensions; Mantis full face masks with communications. See Accessories.
1. Q. What exactly is the concept of SSA?
A. Air from a low-pressure compressor at the surface pumps air through a hose and demand second stage regulator system directly to the divers below. Virtually no gear is worn and the divers have a lifeline to the surface with the hose system and a belt that secures the hose and regulator to the body. Top
2. Q. How long will the engines run?
A. Running time on the floating gas-powered models will be 3 hours on 2.5 qts gas. On the commercial XL2 model: 4 hrs on 0.95 gallon, regardless of the number of participants on either. Top
3. Q. Do the motors require an oil gas mix?
A. No. They are four-cycle engines and take unleaded gas with a pump octane rating of 86 or above. Top
4. Q. Are the compressors oil lubricated?
A. No. A Teflon cup on an aluminum piston pulsates inside the cylinder sleeve precluding the need for even rings and seals. Bearings are sealed and grease cannot enter the breathing system. Top
5. Q. What keeps exhaust fumes out of the breathing air?
A. Lawyers and the fear thereof. Mechanically, however, a vertical snorkel draws air in 30 inches above the compressor. Exhaust is shot away horizontally on the opposite side. The way the unit floats, the exhaust will always seek the down wind position. All Air Line system designs meet or exceed Compressed Gas Association Grade E breathing air standards. Top
6. Q. What depths can I reasonably expect on an Air Line?
The XL models will support two to a depth of 85', three to 60 feet, four to 40. The R-4 models will support two to 70 feet, three to 40. The systems are primarily designed for second atmosphere, recreational diving. (Be wary of claims. In our opinion, some manufacturers may exaggerate depth ratings for the air output of their systems. The Air Line chooses to be conservative, basing our depth ratings on people with average diving experience and in average physical condition. The depth capability of a compressor system will be determined by the air output of the compressor. Compare air output.) Top
7. Q. What length are the hoses?
A. They are all arbitrarily 60 feet because we have found this to be an optimal length for common hookah dive profiles. Hose extensions are available for lengthening hoses if desired. We will, however, customize lengths for certain applications such as deck mounting. It is important to understand that each diver has an independent 60 foot down line on an Air Line instead of a single down line. You will get more air volume under pressure in two, three or four hoses than you will through one; Common-Sense 101. There are safety factors involved also. We can discuss these through e-mail or a telephone call. Top
8. Q. Won't a salty environment cause the equipment to rust?
A. It would without a few simple care procedures. The gas-powered compressors are marinized and require no pre-dive procedures. The engines need a bit more attention. When new, thoroughly coat with a marine protectant, such as, Boeshield T-9. After the dive day, a fresh water bath will rinse away accumulated salt, followed by a light touch-up of the protectant. Top
9. Q. Is training needed?
A. Yes. Knowledge of the pertinent laws of physics is essential. Although easier to use as no gear is worn, you are still subject to the same physical laws that relate to scuba diving. BCDs are not discouraged but they are not as critical, as the weight of air in a scuba cylinder is not being consumed. Snorkel vests are an option but remember, you are connected to the surface float through the hose system. Top
10. Q. If the engine runs out of gas, what happens?
A. You are encouraged to come up. Silliness aside, you will be aware when the engine stops as each succeeding breath will require slightly more effort. The air in the hoses is under pressure and supplies a reservoir of air. As you may know, the air in the hoses will naturally increase in volume (i.e., expand) as you rise, so there will be a few more breaths in the hoses. However, The Air Line recommends that the divers carry an independent, back-up air supply (such as a Spare Aiir, see the Accessories section) whether diving on surface supplied air or scuba tanks. Top
11. Q. Are the floating models stable when the sea gets choppy?
A. Yes, but three or four footers are the suggested maximum. when you feel a surge on the hose you will know it's time to call it a day, or at least, go to the surface to evaluate the situation. Top
12. Q. Do the floats tow easily?
A. Yes. The divers being free of gear experience the freedom of snorkelers. Otherwise, the hoses being under pressure will arch gracefully down so the floats are not being pulled awkwardly. The task of towing is shared by at least two anyway. They should never be towed behind a boat except at slow idle. They will sink (no relation). Top
13.Q. How much separation can I expect on the Air Line's individual 60 foot hoses compared to a single down hose with individual 20 foot whips?
**The chart indicates what you can expect in separation and freedom, at depth, by using individual hoses. For instance: At 2nd atmosphere (33 feet) you would be able to explore up to 109 feet apart.
At any depth, on a system with only a single down hose, your separation would always be just 40 feet. ** Top
14. Q. Is there any advantage of having a single down hose?
It might look like a cleaner configuration for pictures, but is that what you're buying it for? (Excuse the answering a question with a question) (Also it's less expensive to provide only one hose.)
15. Q. What then, are the advantages to the Air Line's individual hoses?
A.1. Simple, common sense physics to start. You will have more breathable air volume in multiple hoses than in one hose.
A.2. The aforementioned separation (13.Q.), which equates to freedom (See, also, next answer).
A.3. Imagine being at a depth of say 60 feet around some coral, wreck or rock formations. With the floating, individual hoses you can easily maneuver about unobstructed. On the one down hose at 60 feet, the 20 foot whips will be effectively horizontal, restricting movement to follow-the-leader.
A.4. Let's talk SAFETY! At 60 feet on individual hoses, if one diver needs to reach the surface for any reason, he/she can calmly do so, hand-over-hand to the security of the float or boat. On the single hose, the stressed diver can only ascend 40 feet, the total of the two 20 foot whips. At that point he/she would have to jettison the towing belt, with the regulator, and swim the remaining 20 feet to the surface.
A.5. More on SAFETY. In the event of equipment failure, there will be a small reserve of air trapped in the hoses. There will be more air volume stored under pressure in multiple individual diver hoses than in a single down hose. On the single down hose, all divers must share the air from the one hose. (Note: The Air Line recommends carrying an independent backup air supply, like Spare Air, for all divers, whether on hookah or scuba equipment.)

Wife Swap: A Burlesque Mamma and a Lumberjack Lady Switch Places
January 30, 2008 08:37 PM by DA Southern
So, you know the drill. Two rather dull wives swap families and live peacefully in hopeful expectation of the two weeks they will be enjoying in their new environment. Well, this week is very different.
You take one Washington State mom, Sarina McDonald, who is a Real Estate agent by day and a burlesque dancer by night and swap her with an upstate New York wife, Andrea Robarge, who, with her husband Wally, is a lumberjack, and you get one zany episode of fun.
Burlesque dancer Sarina doesn't feel the need to hide her passion from her sons, Will and Tyler, and feels that since she supported husband Dan's musical dreams, decides it's now her turn to build her career. Lumberjack wife Andrea, on the other hand, doesn't consider herself a girly girl and loves the sound of chainsaws and wood chopping. Andrea is even part of the USA timber drill team and participates in chainsaw competitions with her sons and her professional lumberjack husband, Wally.
Our first visit was to upstate New York to see the raw living style of the Robarge family and how Andrea essentially waits on her family hand and foot. She even waits until they are all done eating before eating herself and spends countless hours picking up after the men in the house making them completely helpless without her. The one area that she struggles with is her relationship with her son Matt who tends to come down on the artistic side alienating him from his dad and Andrea.
In Washington State we see Sarina as she readies herself for her burlesque act, leaving Dan to fend for the family and having Grandma over to assist. The kids are completely independent and fend for themselves in lieu of an absentee mom. Sarina explains that she was once morbidly obese, and that she had the surgery and since then has "rediscovered" her body and her sexuality and shared it willingly with her kids, for better or worse.
Day of the Swap: Andrea heads to Washington to become a burlesque queen and to live by the McDonald family rules for the first week. That basically means not being a slave to her family but being completely into herself. Sarina headed to New York to become a lumberjack for the first week and to completely care for the Robarge men.
The ladies both read the manual for the first week and learned the rules. Sarina was concerned that there was no mention of sex or sexuality in front of the kids and Andrea was concerned about being, well, a girl, by doing burlesque and dressing up pretty.
The introductions proceeded with Sarina and Andrea meeting the families. Andrea was really sketchy about the whole burlesque aspect of Sarina's life and Sarina just got right into telling the Robarge family about burlesque making Andrea's husband, Wally, very uncomfortable. Sarina's mother was telling Andrea that she had better get used to showing some skin as we met Andrea heading to the dance studio to learn the basics of burlesque.
Back in New York, Sarina was immediately thrust into the family chore cycle as she cooked and cleaned for Wally and the boys. Sarina was funny as she noticed that Andrea did not even have a place at the table and questioned the boys as to why they were so messy, which had the bright boys telling Sarina that their mom did everything for them, and that they liked that.
Andrea was off to burlesque class and felt very bad about leaving Dan to do everything in the home. We had our first glimpse of Andrea as she was putting on her costume and watched as she cried because she was so uncomfortable wearing the costume that actually was not revealing at all. I fully expected Stacy and Clinton from TLC's "What Not to Wear" to jump out and convince Andrea to get a new wardrobe because she had such a hard time being a lady.
Back in New York, Sarina was trying to connect to Matt, the outcast artistic soul of the Robarge family but then was whisked off to do lumberjack stuff with Wally. In the quiet moments, Wally does finally open up to Sarina about Matt and asks how he could build that bridge with him.
Andrea was doing her first burlesque show and actually did a fairly good job at doing the routine. After the show, Andrea was seen saying that she was proud of herself for going outside of her comfort zone, even though she looked like a prostitute.
2nd Week Rules Change: The wives announced the rules change and, of course, Wally being of the dominant male persuasion, said "no" to most of the rule changes. Dan, on the other hand, seemed to be respectful but the kids, not so much, from either family. Andrea announced that there would be no more burlesque and that the kids were not to be so self-sufficient and that the family would have to spend quality time together.
Sarina said that burlesque would reign in the home for the week and that Wally would have to arrange a burlesque show for her and that he would have to MC the show. Wally said "no", but you had a sense that he would probably relent. The one thing Wally did not give on, however, was Sarina's insistence that Wally talk about sex with the boys and gave him a book on sex to help him with the task. Wally, in a typical open-minded way, burned the book and refused Sarina's wishes.
Andrea ran into her own refusal when Dan stood up to her when she said that she was going to sell all of the burlesque stuff at a flea market. Dan, first cried then said "no" and that he was not going to do it. Andrea was surprised that he stood up to her and hoped that he would stand up to Sarina when it came time to talk about being with the family on a more consistent basis.
In New York, Sarina outlawed all lumberjack activities and started making the children do chores as well as Wally. Sarina also insisted that Wally build a studio in Wally's shed for Matt, so they would have a chance to bond. Wally said "no" once again and Sarina seemed slightly frustrated with him. Uh, ya think? Andrea, on the other hand, seemed to be currying favor by actually being a mom to Dan and the boys, but this time, she actually had a seat at the table with the family.
The burlesque show was taking place in New York and Dan was actually wearing a tux for the event and he looked decent dressed up like a big boy. After the show, Wally had a heart-to-heart with Sarina about her being so selfish by not being a mom to her family. Sarina actually took it fairly well and agreed to reevaluate her schedule. Wally even had a change of heart as he actually constructed a studio for Matt and was seen drawing with him when the studio was completed.
In a touching scene, Wally was seen hugging Matt and telling him that he was proud of him and his artistic skills. Back in Washington, Andrea eventually took the family to a lumberjack competition where the kids and Dan enjoyed the family time with Andrea. The kids all got involved in the competition and older son, Will, really took to the whole axe-throwing event.
The final day showed the ladies packing and the reuniting with their respective husbands. At the judgment table, Andrea was concerned how much sexuality was being displayed to the kids and how much the family was missing their mother and the time spent together in family activities. Sarina was concerned that about the amount of time Andrea spent being a maid to the family and how important it was for the kids to step up, as well as Wally, and graciously help around the house.
In a look at family life after the families were reunited, Wally and the boys had indeed stepped up and willingly helped out with chores more and Andrea was actually getting to eat with the family. She still was not going to do burlesque dancing, except for Wally, but admitted that she was much more relaxed with her boys.
As far as Sarina, she was still doing burlesque shows, but had cut back on her Real Estate, so she could spend more time with her family. There must be some good money in the burlesque biz. Sarina became more of a mom to the children and Dan appreciated his wife's additional time spent with the family. Son, Will, even got into axe throwing and was signed up to participate in events in the future.
Stay with RealityTVMagazine.com next week when two different women try to have an impact on each others family on ABC's Wife Swap.

Soul legend Gladys Knight and British singer Joss Stone were among the celebrities marking the 80th anniversary of Harlem's historic Apollo Theater on Tuesday night.
The fundraising gala, hosted by comedian Wayne Brady for the second year, raised a huge $2.3 million and was the most successful night since the annual event was started nine years ago.
Stone performed a rendition of James Brown's "It's A Man's World" while music icons including Knight, The Isley Brothers and Doug E. Fresh were also on hand to entertain the audience with classic Motown and hip-hop hits.
Money raised by the event, which celebrates the singers, dancers and comics who have graced the theatre's stage since it opened in 1934, is used to support the Apollo's education and community outreach programs.
Apollo boss Jonelle Procope said, "Funds for the Apollo allow us to continue to provide innovative performing arts programs, educational programs for young people, students and families."

By Patricia Reaney
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Joan Rivers, the pioneering comedian known for her acerbic wit, classic put-downs and for asking "Can we talk?," died on Thursday at the age of 81 in a New York hospital a week after her heart stopped during an outpatient medical procedure.
Melissa Rivers, the comedian's only child, said her mother died peacefully, surrounded by family and friends, at 1:17 p.m. EDT.
"My mother's greatest joy in life was to make people laugh. Although that is difficult to do right now, I know her final wish would be that we return to laughing soon," Melissa Rivers added in a statement.
Rivers was the second leading American comedian to die in less than a month. Groundbreaking comedy star and actor Robin Williams, 63, hanged himself on Aug. 13 in California.

PHOTOS: 2014 Notable Deaths
As news of her death spread, photographers, reporters and television crews gathered outside the hospital where Rivers died, and fans placed bouquets of flowers at the entrance to her apartment on Manhattan's Upper East Side.
Onstage, Rivers came across as acidic and manic – sort of Don Rickles in diamonds and a Chanel dress. "Can we talk?" she would ask her audience in a husky New York accent before delivering a brutal put-down line, such as, "Elizabeth Taylor's so fat she puts mayonnaise on her aspirin."
The Brooklyn-born comedian, who once described herself as "the plastic surgery poster girl" and often joked about her numerous cosmetic enhancements, suffered cardiac arrest during a procedure on her vocal cords at a Manhattan clinic on Aug. 28. She was rushed to Mount Sinai Hospital, where she was put on life support.
Joan Alexandra Molinsky was born on June 8, 1933, and grew up there and in a nearby town, the daughter of a doctor and a housewife. The Barnard College graduate began pursuing an entertainment career with the last name Rivers, which she borrowed from her agent.
Her lengthy career included stand-up comedy, television, writing and an Emmy Award-winning daytime talk show, "The Joan Rivers Show." But she originally wanted to be an actress.
She got into comedy after writing sketches for television's "The Ed Sullivan Show." A career in stand-up followed. She later worked as a regular guest host for Johnny Carson on NBC's "The Tonight Show."
Rivers reached a pinnacle in 1983 when Carson crowned her as his regular guest host on the popular NBC television show. When she started her own late-night talk show in 1986, on the rival Fox network, it caused a falling-out with Carson that lasted until he died in 2005. Rivers's show was canceled after seven months due to low ratings.
A few months later, her husband and manager, Edgar Rosenberg, committed suicide and Rivers fell into depression.
Later in her career, Rivers and her daughter starred in the reality TV show "Joan & Melissa: Joan Knows Best?", with Rivers living with her grown child.
Most recently, Rivers was the host of cable television channel E!'s "Fashion Police," commenting on the unfortunate red carpet choices of Hollywood celebrities.
Actress Anna Kendrick, a target of the comedian's barbed comments, said she will be truly missed.
"RIP Joan Rivers. Being publicly told that my dress is hideous will never feel quite as awesome," she tw
Friends and fellow comedians on Thursday expressed their grief and sadness and praised Rivers.
"No one loved life, laughter, and a good time more than Joan. We would have dinner and laugh and gossip and I always left the table smiling," said journalist Barbara Walters.
"She was a brassy, often outrageous, and hilarious performer," she added in a statement.
Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu expressed his condolences to Rivers's family and said she would be deeply missed.
"Joan Rivers brought laughter to millions around the world and was proud of her Jewish heritage and a vocal supporter of the State of Israel," he said in a statement.
Britain's Prince Charles, whose 2005 wedding to the Duchess of Cornwall Rivers attended, said he was "deeply saddened" at her death.
"Joan Rivers was an extraordinary woman with an original and indefatigable spirit, an unstoppable sense of humor and an enormous zest for life," the heir to the throne said in a statement. "She will be hugely missed and utterly irreplaceable."
Among others praising and remembering Rivers was actress Liza Minnelli who described her as a dear friend.
"I will always remember the laughter and friendship she brought into my life," she said in a posting on Facebook.
Property mogul Donald Trump, who hosted the reality TV competition show "The Apprentice," which Rivers won in 2009, described her as "an amazing woman and a great friend."
"Her energy and talent were boundless. She will be greatly missed," he added on Twitter.
A spokeswoman for the Medical Examiner's Office in New York said it is investigating the cause and manner of Rivers's death on Thursday. She did not specify when the autopsy on Rivers would take place and when results would be released.
The New York State Department of Health said on Thursday it is investigating the comedian's death. A telephone message seeking comment from the clinic where Rivers was treated was not immediately returned.
Earlier this week, a representative for Rivers said media reports that her family was planning to sue the clinic were not true.
Funeral services for Rivers will be held this weekend at Temple Emanu-El, the synagogue where she was a member. A statement from Rabbi Joshua M. Davidson to ABC News reads, "It is a terribly sad day for all of us. We mourn with her family, friends and all those millions to whom she brought laughter and joy."

Here is the French patch for 5.0.18
As usual, you can download the tar (or zip) files from ftp://ftp.whitehatmail.fr/pub/zimbra .
The French date zimlet is not included anymore, as Zimbra default date zimlet works fine in French. The ZIP file is included anyway in case you need it.
The installation is done by running as root the command:
with Zimbra up and running. The script will ask for approval before each modification.
The changes added by this patch are:
- Minor changes in the language files (a few shorter labels, use of Block Notes instead of Carnet to avoid confusions with 'Carnet d'Adresses').
- Installation of the Starxpert save zimlet and Google translator zimlet.
- French spelling dictionary
- Instant messaging activation
- Minor change to /etc/init.d/zimbra to see what is going on upon start/stop/status.
- Set FR as default language for everybody.
- Disable Yahoo bar and Yahoo zimlet
- Verify account existence before accepting an incoming e-mail.

Published Feb. 25, 2013
The Federal Aviation Administration could eliminate overnight staffing of airport control towers at Columbia and Charleston and shut down towers at three other S.C. airports to absorb budgets cuts forced by sequestration.
|Dan Mann, executive director of Columbia airport
The action would be necessary so that FAA can trim about $600 million from its budget for the remainder of the 2013 fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30.
The FAA expects to implement the plan April 1 if Congress and the White House don't find a way to postpone deep, automatic budget cuts scheduled to take effect Friday.
Eliminating the overnight shift at the local control tower shouldn't impact operations, said Dan Mann, executive director of the Columbia Metropolitan Airport.
Procedures and policies are in place that would allow the airport to continue to operate if no one is in the tower, Mann added.
"We would still function 24/7," Mann said. "It's just different procedures that would be implemented primarily by the FAA."
One budget cut that could impact travelers is the Transportation Security Administration's plans to reduce its frontline workforce. The White House said the agency would need to initiate a hiring freeze, eliminate overtime and furlough its 50,000 officers for up to seven days for the remainder of the fiscal year.
That could lead to longer waits for passengers in maneuvering through security checkpoints at airports, the White House said.
"The answer to that is to show up at the airport early," Mann said.
Airlines wouldn't have to change their schedules if the tower is not staffed, Mann said.
Columbia also is home to UPS's Southeast hub, which averages 10 flights daily and a robust FedEx air freight operation.
The FAA said that it could eliminate the overnight shift at 60 of its towers in the United States.
Not having a tower airport or having the tower staffed around the clock is fairly common.
According to the FAA, only 500 of more than 20,000 airports in the United States have control towers.
The FAA said a regional operations center at Hilliard, Fla., near Jacksonville, would handle communications with pilots landing or taking off from Columbia and Charleston International Airport if the local towers are not staffed overnight.
Towers at Hilton Head, Florence and Donaldson Center are among 100 air traffic control facilities that the FAA said it might have to close if sequestration goes through.
The FAA said it may have to furlough the vast majority of its 47,000 employees for approximately one day per pay period.
"All of these changes will be finalized as to scope and details through collaborative discussions with our users and our unions," the agency said. "We will begin furloughs and start facility shut-downs in April."

In response to Harvey-Wallbanger's comment:
In response to darwk's comment:
This is not about politcal correctness. It's about racism. I repeat a football team does not have to use a race of people as it's name/mascot. Redskins has a long history of association with not only mocking a race of people but genocide. This association should be repudiated by all Americans.
Native Americans ARE offended by this association. It's not rcoket science- again it's the decent human thing to do - get rid of the racist associations in sports.
Again, do we change the state name of Oklahoma which translates from Choctaw into English with it meaning "Red People"?
Just wondering.
I haven't researched what all of our other Native American rooted state names mean but I would imagine a state name might be more offensive than a sports team.
You keep banging this gong about Oklahoma. Choctaw for "red people" does not equate to redskin, like negro does not equal the n-word. It's not rocket science.
Lay off the historical analogies; much like not being insecure, they aren't your forte.
Excuse me? Native Americans did not choose to name Oklahoma and that territory what it became, it was white people.
The whole point of this being offended by names of sports teams is that the white man won.
That's what this is about. The white man won. Go watch The SHining. Look at what Kubrick was focusing in on there.
Oklahoma and that territory was about a free for all after the white man slaughtered the natives and took it over on the run. The Oklahoma Sooners are called the Sooners because if you didn't run in there and claim land, you lost it.
You're telling me to stop with the history lessons, but you don't even know the history. How is it respectful to slaughter Native Americans, end up with their land and the name the state "Red People"?
I mean....DO you even have a clue what you are talking about here? The Trail of Tears is infamous.
Whether it's meant as a tip of the cap or to be a sarcastic state name, it's very obvious the people who called it Oklahoma wanted it known the Native American tribes were defeated and it's now a white man's territtory.
It's just the way it was. The N Word could be as offensive to any person alive today whose ancestor died in the wake of founding "Oklahoma", dummy.
Before you told people what Oklahoma meant no one outside of a Oklahoma history class knew. It wasn't as blatant as Redskins. Plus, there is a huge difference between a football team changing its name and an entire state.

BASIS uncovered
Education | Public-school educators are doing their best to ignore a charter school that is accomplishing what they cannot
TUCSON, Ariz.-BASIS charter school in Tucson, Ariz., may be the most unassuming high school ever to receive positive treatment from the national media. Nothing about its location (downtown next to a Bank of America and across from Target) nor its building (a rather dated former daycare center) indicates that it could compete with the monolith, state-of-the-art high schools that surround it.
Yet not only does it compete with local schools that have vastly more money and resources, according to analyses by Newsweek and U.S. News and World Report, it bests them and schools all across the country. In 2008, Newsweek ranked BASIS the No. 1 high school in America. It won the publication's fifth place for 2009, and has been in the top 10 every year since 2006. U.S. News and World Report further bolstered BASIS' reputation, naming it 13th on their 2009 best high schools list and giving it a gold medal for college readiness.
Such vaunted recognition for an institution that was only established 10 years ago is now prompting Washington to take a look. On Oct. 1, after attending the D.C. premiere of the documentary Two Million Minutes that features BASIS, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and the Rev. Al Sharpton-both part of the Obama administration's education reform team-flew to Arizona to tour the campus. Though their observations reflected the pair's disparate political philosophies, both praised what they saw.
Gingrich pointed out how much the school has achieved without expensive facilities and a large budget, saying that when "the educational establishment sees an institution like this, they're terrified." Sharpton celebrated the fact that as a charter school, BASIS is free to all students who want to attend and provides low-income and minority students the kind of education that was once only available to those with big bank accounts and the right skin color. With so many people asking how a school located in one of the poorest cities in the country is able to achieve so much with about $1,000 less funding per student than district-run public schools, BASIS is quickly becoming the national model for education reform.
According to BASIS founder Michael Block, the school might not exist at all, or at least not in its current incarnation, were it located anywhere other than Arizona, which he calls "the most charter-friendly place in the nation."
The Grand Canyon State is known for innovative policies when it comes to charter schools-schools that receive public funding but are run by private individuals or companies. Unlike other states, Arizona doesn't require charter school teachers to become certified and has no cap on the number of charter schools allowed to operate. It also has multiple bodies that are able to authorize a charter, whereas many states have only one. "Arizona charter law absolutely allowed us to do something we wouldn't have been able to do elsewhere," says Block. "It is very much underappreciated."
It was on discovering the flexibility of these laws that Block and his wife Olga, both economists by trade, decided to found BASIS. "My wife Olga came to live permanently in the United States [from the Czech Republic] in the fall of 1996 and she brought with her a middle-school-aged daughter, Petra," Block recalls. "Petra went to the best middle school in Scottsdale, which is a pretty affluent area. And Olga found that she really liked the facilities and the friendliness and openness of American classrooms but was astounded by the lack of content."
Employed by the Goldwater Institute in Phoenix while her husband was on leave from the University of Arizona to work for the governor, Olga learned a good deal about education financing and reform and convinced her husband they could forge a better model. In 1997 the pair resolved to write their own charter with the idea of combining "the best of American education with the best of European education." The following year they founded BASIS middle school and in 1999 opened the high school.
What the Blocks considered the "best of" education in the United States was its free expression in the classroom. "It's not that students aren't able to question teachers in other countries, it's just that they're able to do it with a vengeance here," Block chuckles. He also wanted to maintain the American tradition of innovation, though he saw a dire need to marry it to a knowledge base that has been dwindling amongst high-schoolers in recent years, particularly in the areas of math and science.
"I'm afraid that a lot of strutting of American teenagers is not based on accomplishment," says Block. "The rest of the world has progressed and Americans have stayed still or done slightly worse over the last 50 years, which has brought us to a situation where our K to 12th-grade education is inferior to most of the industrialized world. . . . It's no accident that 25 percent of U.S. tech startups in the last two decades were launched by immigrants."
To overcome this deficiency, the Blocks believed they needed to emulate the European approach of establishing a high, measurable academic standard, and they used Advanced Placement (AP) testing as their guide. "It turns out that AP exams are really world standard exams. They used to be a measure of what college standards were, but if you look at the rest of the world they're now the measure of what happens at the high school level," Block notes. He adds with a smile that they also happen to be "one of those great American innovations." They then upped the ante on coursework, introducing biology, chemistry, and physics as separate subjects in the sixth grade and making subjects like AP Chemistry and Honors Physics requirements for high school graduation.
The Blocks also embrace pioneering practices when it comes to compensation and staffing, setting up a system of performance-based pay raises and merit bonuses to incentivize teachers and hiring subject specialists rather than drawing from the standard pool of education majors.
"I get in a lot of trouble for saying this," admits Block, "but the truth is that most teachers come from the bottom third of their graduating class. And the lesson from around the world is that exactly the opposite is necessary for great schools. You have to have capable people leading classes, and I'm not convinced that the undergraduate education schools are highly populated with capable people. Of course there are some, but I think as a whole you're getting some of the least qualified undergraduates. That's not a good place to start."
Block believes that public schools focus on pedagogy to the detriment of proficiency. He says he and Olga made it BASIS' aim to reverse those priorities and provide pedagogical training to experts who are steeped in their subject.
One such expert is George Rising, who teaches AP U.S. Government while also serving as the high school's director. Rising boasts a Ph.D. in philosophy as well as a M.A. in history. He has also authored several books. But as Rising points out, the public school system considers him unqualified to teach high-schoolers because he hasn't been certified by the Arizona Board of Education: "I taught for seven years at the University of Arizona and taught at a prep school for four years, so I have 11 years of teaching experience but I would not be able to get a job in TUSD (Tucson Unified School District)."
Rising maintains that the achievements of BASIS students proves the value of the Blocks' approach, saying, "It's difficult to judge teachers but there is a correlation between how well you're teaching and how well your students are doing." And it's hard to argue with him given the data. One hundred percent of BASIS students who stay on for high school have gone on to graduate. One hundred percent have been accepted by and attended university. (Rising doesn't have college graduation rates yet because of the school's relatively short tenure, but he says 98 percent of its graduates are still in college.) And in 2009 BASIS was the only school in the state to have 100 percent of its students pass the AIMS (Arizona Instrument to Measure Standards) exam in every subject tested.
It's hardly surprising given such results that BASIS parents are thrilled. Lisa Zimprich, whose 12-year-old daughter Mackenzie is in the sixth grade at BASIS Middle School, describes an incident that she says explains her support for the school: "Recently a friend was over at our house whose daughter is a sophomore in high school. She was sitting at the table with my daughter helping her with her chemistry homework. After a few minutes [the sophomore] started shaking her head. Her mother asked her why, and she said, 'We were just going over this two weeks ago in my class.'"
While such reports are impressive, they also bring up the two biggest charges that critics level against the school. Namely, that such advanced coursework creates a pressure cooker environment and that only elite minds can succeed there; kids of average intellect need not apply.
Sixteen-year-old Rebecca Kath echoes the feelings of other students interviewed for this story when she says she considers herself an "average mind" who is challenged by her classes but enjoys rising to the occasion they present. "It's difficult, but the teachers are always there to help you. If you don't understand it, they're not going to let you fall behind. I'd always had problems in school before, especially in math, but since coming here I'm able to do calculus. Everybody who goes here has a shot. You have to really want to fail."
Zimprich also disputes the intellectual elitism charge, pointing out that at a typical BASIS end-of-term awards ceremony, over half the class has a greater than 90 percent average: "If it was just smart kids, you wouldn't have that many A students because being smart doesn't preclude you from being lazy. . . . You get that kind of result with a program that teaches kids to work hard."
However, what bothers Block more than criticism from his fellow education professionals is indifference. He says he has tried to contract with various state districts to use their vacant buildings to implement BASIS classes, and so far no one has expressed an interest.
"This is one of the world's great schools, and in its 11-year history it's only had one visit from a TUSD teacher," he says. "We've never had a visit from an administrator, though they all have their pet theories on why our results can't be reproduced. So they don't spend any time criticizing us because they don't think we're relevant no matter how much evidence we offer that we're not just a school for brainiacs. It's not in their interest to believe us because we are proof that you can do a lot better than they're doing."

There are a few others but the point is that many times the expensive players who are in the middle of lucrative contracts are not the guys performing. BB and Kraft realize this and it's why they are always looking for value guys who can come in with minimal risk and if they succeed great, if not then move on. They pay the guys who are young and performing...VW,Gronk,Hernandez,Mankins,and Brady(in the past before he was older) You cannot go out and pay 100 million dollars to mario Williams type FA's or Darrell revis types. It is not conducive to fielding a succesful team year in and year out.
Anyway check the lists of offensive linemen etc...I don't see many(if any) Patriot players on the list....and we all know why.
BB is the best in the business.

Re: Help Support Freedom of Expression
is there a non-kindle version?
A blog (from "web blog") is a discussion or informational site consisting of discrete entries ("posts") typically displayed newest first. All Corrente posts are front-paged; there is no up-rate or down-rate process. Corrente posts are almost entirely community moderated. We encourage a clash of ideas, and do not encourage a clash of persons.
If you are the author of this post, see the Edit tab ad Help (and Advanced Help) for detailed documentation.
My friend and compatriot, Samsarah Morgan has been the target of threats because of her involvement with editing a book, A People's History of Occupy Oakland.
Samsarah, along with Shake Anderson, Cami Graves, Zappa Montag and myself, put together the book as a selection of articles about Occupy Oakland. Some of the articles were old, and some were new pieces.
After the book went live on Amazon, Samsarah began receiving threatening phone calls, instant messages and emails, demanding that she condemn the book and the other authors. Needless to say, she has refused to cave in to people who are so frightened of freedom of expression that they resort to threats of violence to stop it.
Unfortunately, this was not the first time that people have tried to silence Samsarah. Several months ago, during the 1 year anniversary of Occupy Oakland, Samararh was instrumental in drafting a press release that drew a clear separation between Occupy Oakland and the people then calling themselves the "Oakland Commune." At that time, she also received threatening phone calls, IMs and emails demanding that she condemn the statement.
There's a certain irony in people who claim to be part of a movement for human liberation trying to violently suppress freedom of expression. However, that irony seems to be lost on some people in the movement. In fact, for quite some time now there has been, for lack of a better word, a pack of online cyberbullies involved with Occupy Oakland who have taken it upon themselves to harass and threaten people, often women of color, online and offline.*
At its height, Occupy Oakland had supporters numbering in the tens of thousands, and this was clearly visible at street marches and in the amount of logistical and financial support we received from the wider Oakland community. Unfortunately, the movement also had a difficult time drawing boundaries to exclude frankly anti-social and destructive behavior. I document this in the book as one of the failings of Occupy Oakland. Destructive, anti-social people drove many kind, thoughtful folks from the movement. If you want to see evidence of the kind of unhinged behavior, just check out the Amazon reviews. What you will see is that some, if not most, of the reviews hit just after the book went live on the 17th. It would have been impossible for those people to have read the entire book in just a few minutes, as the manuscript has approximately 30,000 words. I do understand intellectual disagreement, which is of course a natural and legitimate thing. But simply camping out in a review section and flipping out over a book without engaging the content is the height of intellectual dishonesty.
The number of people involved with cyber bullying (and to some extent real life bullying) is not that large. In fact, I would estimate it as no more than 30 to 50 people, maximum. From where do I draw those numbers? If you look at the Amazon reviews, you will see that most of the reviews have about 30 to 40 people saying that the review is helpful. The fact is that the reviews appeared immediately because the cyber bullies are adroit at using social media to rally a mob of people to attack others online. I am glad, in a sense, that the cyber bullies decided to mass attack the review page, because they clearly demonstrate behavior that I saw in real life-- the mob mentality, the failure to engage intellectually,and the hyperventilation. That behavior unfortunately stretched across Occupies, as documented by Quinn Norton in her excellent piece "A Eulogy for #Occupy."
There is something else notable in the reviews too-- the drive for purity and the statement that "people shouldn't make money off the movement." That is a coded way of saying that people who do political work should not be able to support themselves. That is a loser mentality, and it is a mentality that has crippled the left. Without organizational resources it is impossible to meet the basic stable living requirements for people within the movement. Yes, the stereotypical 20 something anarchist response is that we should all dumpster dive and squat in abandoned houses.
That is not practical for everyone, and that's no way to build a movement to challenge the oligarchy. There's a less obviously faulty version of this kind of thinking that one often sees among progressives and moderates, namely, that political movements should only raise money via donation to a nonprofit. A friend of mine with years of experience in the non-profit world says, this makes us into beggars. Without resources, the left cannot deliver protection and support to people who choose to sign up for political work. If you have been around the non-profit space for a while, you will meet plenty of people who have given everything they have, and when they reach about 55 or 60 years old they have nothing to fall back on-- no stable housing, no real pension, not much savings etc. I'd like to see that change, so that people don't have to choose between either embracing poverty or doing important political work. As I detail in my contribution to the book, there were missed opportunities during Occupy Oakland to jumpstart local, sustainable businesses.
Despite that, a group of us came together to assemble the book, both to document stories of Occupy, and to organize a (very) small test of economic sustainability within the movement. Through the end of Black History Month, we will donate all proceeds from book sales to the Campaign to Save the Marcus Garvey Building, a local historic landmark and church/community center in West Oakland.
Please show your support for freedom of expression, and for my friend Samarah, by buying a copy of A People's History of Occupy Oakland.
is there a non-kindle version?
i see there is a variety of free apps available for non-kindle devices to read kindle books : http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=sv_kstore_1?ie=UTF8&docId=1000...
We have looked into other ebook publishing services, but haven't made any firm decisions.
Doing this project has been pretty educational; the formatting process for ebooks is laborious. In talking with other writers, I found out that what most people do is hire a formatting service that sets up the manuscript for a number of the popular publishers. Live and learn!
Glad you were able to find the free Kindle reader; that's what I use on my laptop.

Video: Redskins Fan Confident Team Will Go To Playoffs
WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- Redskins fans are waking up happy Tuesday morning after the big win over the Giants on Monday Night Football. The final score was 17-16.
One of the best first-half highlights: Josh Morgan was in the right place at the right time, grabbing an RG3 fumble in mid-air and ran the ball into the end zone.
The Giants had a 16-10 lead in the 4th quarter, but Griffin tossed a touchdown pass to Pierre Garcon, who's been hurt most of the season.
The big win tightens the NFC East race and playoff hopes are still alive for the Redskins.
We caught up with a Redskins fan on Tuesday morning, who had this to say: "We['re] gonna make the playoffs, we're going to beat Baltimore and the next three games after Baltimore, we're going to sail home freely."

Trying a new way of creating planetsurface maps.
Drew the planet, then did the old difference clouds to add in the mountains, then played with wilbur on it.
Started adding some colour then, used the map to create a 3d texture, the result from wilbur being the bump map, then rendered it.
I havent sorted out all the colouring on the map yet but this is what I have so far.

Melbourne, Australia (Sports Network) - Novak Djokovic and David Ferrer were
quarterfinal winners Tuesday at the Australian Open.
The top-seeded Djokovic recovered from his five-set marathon in the fourth
round and claimed a 6-1, 4-6, 6-1, 6-4 victory over Tomas Berdych after the
fourth-seeded Ferrer had rallied from a two-set and a break deficit to top
fellow Spaniard Nicolas Almagro, 4-6, 4-6, 7-5, 7-6 (7-4), 6-2.
Djokovic needed just over five hours to dispose of Stanislas Wawrinka on
Sunday, but had to play about half that long to continue his domination of
Berdych. The three-time Aussie Open champ improved to 12-1 lifetime against
the fifth-seeded Czech star. Djokovic broke serve six times and only once had
his serve broken.
Ferrer was also facing an opponent he has completely owned and faced plenty of
adversity on Tuesday, but still managed to stay perfect in 13 all-time
meetings with Almagro.
The 10th-seeded Almagro was making his first quarterfinal appearance at the
Aussie Open, but has been in the quarters at Roland Garros on three separate
occasions, including last year.
Almagro converted on both of his break opportunities in the first two sets
while also taking advantage of 24 unforced errors by Ferrer over that span to
take a seemingly comfortable two-set advantage.
Ferrer failed to convert on two chances to break his opponent in the first two
Each player held serve in the third set until Ferrer's return of an Almagro
volley went long to allow his compatriot to take a 4-3 advantage.
Almagro then capped the ensuing game with a powerful ace down the line, and
after staying alive by holding his serve, Ferrer took advantage of three of
unforced errors by his opponent to return the favor and even the set at five
games apiece.
After Ferrer held serve again, Almagro began to unravel a bit as he committed
several mistakes to allow Ferrer to earn his second break of the set and stay
With the score tied at four games apiece in the fourth set following a pair of
breaks by each player, Almagro battled back from a 40-15 hole in the fifth to
earn his third break of the set when a Ferrer return went long, giving Almagro
a chance to again serve for the match.
But he failed to convert for the second time despite overcoming a 30-0 hole to
force a deuce.
The two again traded breaks before Almagro suffered a leg injury while Ferrer
took the tiebreak, 7-4.
Almagro received some treatment before the start of the final set, but he was
obviously hurting and Ferrer took advantage by controlling the action in the
decisive set with five aces and nine winners.

Boston, MA (Sports Network) - Brendan Gallagher netted the winner in the sixth
round of the shootout, as Montreal downed Boston, 6-5, in a battle for
Northeast Division supremacy at TD Garden. No shooters from either side
scored through the first 10 chances. Peter Budaj stopped Rich Peverley to
open the final round, and then Gallagher ended the contest by slipping his
shot through the pads of Tuukka Rask. Michael Ryder tallied twice, with
Gallagher, P.K. Subban and Andrei Markov once each for the Canadiens, who
moved atop the division by point over their perennial rivals. Starter Carey
Price allowed four goals on 26 shots in two periods before finding the
bench. Budaj ended regulation with 14 saves. Patrice Bergeron registered a
goal and three assists for the Bruins, who have lost four of their last six.
Tyler Seguin added a score and two helpers, Brad Marchand and Nathan Horton
also lit the lamp, but Rask allowed five goals on 28 shots in the setback.

Black History Month Events
by nycgo.com staff, 01/29/2013
New York City is rich with African-American history. NYC was once home to Louis Armstrong, Lena Horne, W.E.B. Du Bois and Langston Hughes; more recently it has been the home of the Reverend Al Sharpton, Beyoncé and Jay-Z. It was here that Billie Holiday first sang the civil-rights anthem "Strange Fruit" in a Greenwich Village nightclub in 1939, and where the government's first African-American secretary of state, Colin Powell, was born. The City's cultural and historic sites are extensive, including iconic jazz clubs like Blue Note, performance venues like the Apollo Theater and institutions like The Studio Museum. Honor Black history this February throughout New York City with a crop of events, including exhibitions, live music performances, film screenings and more. Read on for more information.

Words are Freedom: The Confessions of Nat Turner at the Brooklyn Public Library, Central Library
During the summer of 1831 in Southampton County, Virginia, Nat Turner, believing he was on a mission from God, led approximately 70 slaves in a revolt and quest for freedom. The group killed 57 whites before being stopped. Numerous blacks were killed in retaliation, and Turner was captured six weeks later. The Confessions of Nat Turner is based on Turner's jail-cell account of the insurrection, which he shared with lawyer Thomas Gray days before he was hanged. Rutgers professor Sterling L. Bland Jr. will host a discussion about Gray's published account of the confession, which author William Styron later used for his fictionalized, and controversial, Pulitzer Prize‒winning account of the rebellion, written in 1967.
