Trekking is often an adventurous and arduous journey on foot, through jungles, marked or un-marked trails, and the areas where common means of transport are (generally) not available. P.S: The term Trekking is different than Mountaineering.

Dear Editor,
In response to Alan Cheah's column, 'The Gun Economy,' in the Jan. 31 edition of the Sierra Star, here is some factual counterpoints. The FBI's recent crime report noted a nearly 50% drop in both violent crime and the murder rate between 1992 and 2011. This occurred at the same time the number of firearms increased dramatically -- including the sale of over six million "assault weapons." And more specifically, those same government statistics show "assault weapons" accounted for only 0.5% of gun murders in 2011.
More guns, but less crime. Guess what? The problem is not legally owned guns. The problem is criminals and illegal guns. And stricter gun controls limit neither. Consider Chicago, a city with the toughest gun control laws in the nation. But don't go walking anywhere after dark. There were more than 500 murders in Chicago last year. Most were tied to gangs and drugs.
My point? Criminals will find ways to get guns. But when law abiding citizens can't, they will become defenseless victims.
Others legitimately questioned the validity of your article, Mr. Cheah. In response, you redirect attention by vilifying the NRA and gun profiteers. You're terribly wrong. The fear you mock is grounded firmly in the historical record of this nation's birth and substantiated by the 20th century. The "shot heard round the world," occurred when British troops marched on Concord and Lexington to confiscate the arms of citizen militias (1775).
The 20th century recorded tyrannical governments in Germany, Russia, China and other nations murdering more than 100 million of their own people. But first, these regimes disarmed their citizens. Our Constitution, the Second Amendment it mandates, says it will not happen here and 60 million legally armed patriots agree.
This has never been about economy, sport or hunting. It's always been about our right to self-defense.
Steve Hall, North Fork

Do you miss the days when blogging seemed simple and exciting? Have you ever stared at the blank text input field in WordPress until you began to fill with dread?
While WordPress, Movable Type and similar blogging engines certainly make it easy to set up a blog with a robust content management system, sometimes the software itself is overkill. Sometimes you just want to post a picture or a quick snippet of text and be done with it.
That's more or less the thinking that inspired Tumblr, a dead simple blogging system that makes it easy to post a quick note, an image, a link or a YouTube video and then get on with your real life.
It's an incredibly easy-to-use publishing system, but that ease comes at a cost. Tumblr is also very simple by design, and it lacks many of the features bloggers might be familiar with. Still, many view Tumblr's lack of extra features as an asset, arguing that things like comments or an integrated search tool only complicate a clean interface. In fact, Tumblr is quite different from blogging. It's a side-step, a subculture with its own verb: tumbling.
To start tumbling, follow our guide. We'll run through the basics and then get into the heavier stuff, like custom themes, custom URLs and comments.Continue Reading "Get Started With Tumblr" »

User reviews on Paperboy
This was a really weird film and I have never seen anything like it before. The film takes place in Florida in 1960's and it is about an investigative reporter and his partner who are chasing a career making story. The film made me uncomfortable most of the time and I kind of felt that I need a bath after watching it. The film examines many themes and I have to say that it was interesting to watch how those themes unfold and how the cast deals with their characters. I have to say that I was really impressed by the cast and they seemed to have a great time filming this movie. It was hard to watch this film because almost all of the characters are low-life sc**bags and it was hard to like them. Overall, this is one of those films that some people will love and some will hate and I am just not sure to which group I belong, I guess i have to see this film again to find that out.

By Gregg Bell
UW Director of Writing
SEATTLE -- It didn't take long for the Huskies to find the person to continue their momentum in women's basketball. And they didn't have to go far.
He was already here.
Washington has hired top assistant Mike Neighbors as its new women's basketball coach, three days after Kevin McGuff suddenly took a lucrative offer to lead Ohio State. It's a move the players were hoping for, for continuity and familiarity. They found out early Friday evening in a team meeting at UW's Conibear Shellhouse, following a team weight-lifting session and then dinner in University Village.
Washington will formally introduce Neighbors as its 10th women's basketball coach at a press conference next week, with the day and time still to be determined.
Neighbors, a 44-year-old native of Greenwood, Ark., signed a memorandum of understanding Friday evening for a five-year contract starting at $350,000 in guaranteed compensation for the 2013-14 season.
"I'm elated," Neighbors said, moments after signing the agreement that calls for his pay to increase by $20,000 each season, through the $430,000 he is scheduled to earn in the final year of the deal ending March 31, 2018.
"When Kevin left, the first words out of my mouth were `I want to be the head coach of the basketball team at the University of Washington - this particular team, these players, the recruits we have coming in.'
"When I got into this business 13 years ago, Washington wasn't one of my `dream jobs.' My dream jobs were regional. But when I got here to Seattle with Kevin two years ago, to this program and this university, this became my dream job.
"And now here I am."
Director of Athletics Scott Woodward and Shondell Reed, Washington's senior associate AD, fielded queries and calls from across the country during a whirlwind search to replace McGuff, who in two seasons revived UW's recruiting and on-court success with the first consecutive 20-win seasons since the mid-1990s.
In the end, continuity was key.
"The more we looked, the more we realized our best candidate was right here on our campus," Woodward said. "Mike Neighbors is ready to continue what he and Coach McGuff and the staff have started. I want to continue the trajectory the program is on, in wins and losses, in how we are recruiting, and in academic performance. In my mind, Mike was the chief operating officer of the effort that started this trajectory.
"Hiring Mike shows we remain committed to Husky women's basketball returning to national prominence. We think Mike is ready, and that he will continue that momentum."
He was the players' choice once McGuff left Tuesday. And they were as pumped as their new coach at Friday night's news.
"Coach `Neighb's ready," Huskies rising senior guard Mercedes Wetmore said of Neighbors becoming a head coach for the first time. "He is the guy to lead this program into a national powerhouse.
"We wanted him to be the guy to come in and lead us. It's the perfect fit. We are motivated. We are excited. And we are picking up right where we left off."
That's exactly the idea.
Neighbors, who came to UW from Xavier with McGuff in April 2011, also gets the same incentive bonuses McGuff had at Washington: $25,000 for winning the Pac-12 regular-season championship; $20,000 for winning the Pac-12 tournament; $15,000 for making the NCAA tournament with incremental bonuses for advancing; plus one month's base pay for an annual team academic progress rate of 980 or higher, as defined by the NCAA.
"It's been a crazy week, and our fast-paced search since Kevin left gave us many impressive candidates," said Reed, whom Woodward credited for leading the search. "We ultimately decided we value the ability of Mike, (assistant) Kevin Morrison and this entire staff to continue our program's rise to the top of the Pac-12.
"The more we looked, the more confident we became that we had the right people in Mike and Kevin."
Morrison and assistant Adia Barnes have been asked to stay on as Neighbors' assistants.
Including Washington's recent signings of Katie Collier and Kelsey Plum, Neighbors has been involved in inking eight McDonald's national high school All-Americans while as an assistant and lead recruiter at UW, Xavier, Arkansas - his alma mater - Colorado and Tulsa.
"The more we looked, the more we realized our best candidate was right here on our campus," Woodward said. "Mike Neighbors is ready to continue what he and Coach McGuff and the staff have started."
He has been chiefly responsible for the development of Washington's dynamic guards, including Wetmore and Jazmine Davis, the all-conference point guard and the Pac-12 freshman of the year in 2012.
Sharpshooter Kristi Kingma, the team captain who just finished her UW career, says Neighbors is her favorite among all the coaches she's ever had.
"Coach Neighbors is absolutely the perfect coach for UW," Kingma said Friday night. "Playing for him for the last two years not only made me a better player but a better person and made me fall in love with the game all over again.
"He fully understands how to challenge his players to get the best out of them and his players, in turn, want to play hard for him. He has truly been my favorite coach I have ever played for and I know he will keep UW headed in the right direction and competing for championships very quickly.
"What an awesome day to be a Husky!"
Davis has scored more points in her first two seasons at UW (1,113) than anyone in program history. She has also been hoping all week that Neighbors got the job.
So has Lorenzo Romar.
"Coach McGuff and his staff have done so well these last two years, the last thing you want to do is start over. And Mike is one of the most organized and driven coaches I've ever seen," the Huskies men's coach said Friday by telephone from Los Angeles.
"He's in the office all hours. You talk about a guy who eats, sleeps and drinks basketball ... with a little music thrown in, I might add."
Yes, the energetic Neighbors is a music and movie buff. He constantly updates spreadsheets on his top 1,000 films and songs as he sees and hears more. Classic rock is his favorite.
At the top of his lists: A Few Good Men, plus Sweet Child o' Mine by 1980s rockers Guns N' Roses.
Before coming to Washington, Neighbors worked as an assistant to McGuff at Xavier for four seasons. He helped build the program to a national power that included a trip to the Elite Eight. During the 2009-10 season, the Musketeers posted a 30-4 record, including 14-0 in the Atlantic-10 Conference. Xavier finished that season as the No. 5-ranked team in the country, falling a last-second shot short of the Final Four.
Neighbors was named one of basketballscoop.com's "Rising Stars" in 2009, an award that recognizes some of the best assistant coaches in the business.
Eight of the college players Neighbors has coached have been drafted into the WNBA, including three who have won WNBA Championships. At each of his coaching stops through Xavier, he has helped develop either the No. 1 or No. 2 scorers in program history. He is a regular speaker at coaching conventions and clinics around the nation, and his weekly newsletter is popular with coaches at all levels. Neighbors received his bachelor's degree from the University of Arkansas in 1993. Following his graduation, Neighbors was a director of basketball operations for the Razorbacks' women's basketball program. He worked for legendary coach Gary Blair, who won the NCAA championship in 2011 with Texas A&M. Before moving into the college coaching, Neighbors was a highly successful head coach in the Arkansas girls' high school basketball. He took a 1-24 Bentonville team to the state championships in just two years.
Neighbors has two children, daughter Abby (16) and son Alec (10). He lives in Seattle - still.
"The system will not change. You won't have to change the players' style of play," Romar said. "The women, they already know the program.
"As a Husky, I'm excited we promoted Mike."

If you haven't heard we got some ice and then some snow here in the ATL (already melting). My husband's family is from the Midwest so we have an old-school wooden sled. Last night , the streets in our neighborhood were empty and quiet. Where were all the people? I love roaming around on a quiet night by the glow of lamps and tv sets when the rest of the world is all tucked in . We had an inch of ice, so my husband said it was our only chance to go sledding.
Never been on a sled. I didn't even think that that we would be in a lying-on-our-tummy head-first position. I used a little Yoga to get off and on --downward dog, up dog, plank. Who knew you could combine Yoga and sledding. First, he pulled me around the block and pushed me down a little hill. Then we Tromped over to the biggest hill in our neighborhood which is a bit of an overstatement. It's more like a block long downward slope that ends in a culdesac.
Whew! so much fun. So quiet--just that sled sound.....just a bit romantic...... no injuries-YEAH

MH-E 7.4.80 released
Bill Wohler <wohler <at> newt.com>
Project home page at: http://mh-e.sourceforge.net/. * Changes in MH-E 7.4.80 Version 7.4.80 now supports GNU mailutils, S/MIME, picons, which-func-mode, has an improved interface for hiding header fields, improves upon the MH variant detection, and contains many bug fixes. Those of you familiar with the GNU version numbering schemes will recognize this as an alpha release. This does not reflect on the quality of this release which is as high as it has always been. Although we are not ready to release 8.0, we want you to have access to the work that has been hiding in CVS. At the same time we want to make it clear that there are incompatible changes with previous versions. We are planning to release the long-awaited manual update synchronized with version 8.0. We are using documentation from the manual in the docstrings which is hoped to make "C-h f (describe-function)" really useful and create a seamless experience when switching back and forth between the manual and the docstrings. This has been done in about half of the variables and functions in this version. The writing of the manual has revealed a few inconsistencies in the software whose fixes have resulted in incompatible changes, and there may well be more. So, unlike version 7 which was chock full of new features, version 8's strengths will include complete documentation and higher quality. ** New Features in MH-E 7.4.80(Continue reading)

This week the Obama Administration scrapped the Fairness Doctrine and 83 other media regulations. Kathryn Montalbano examines the ongoing struggle over radio, TV, and now, Internet access and content.
by Kathryn Montalbano
In June Ralph Reed, conservative American political activist and, during the 1990s, executive director of the Christian Coalition, hosted the Faith and Freedom Conference in Washington, DC, perhaps more appropriately referred to as the "Christian Coalition on steroids." A smattering of Republican luminaries and presidential candidates, including Glenn Beck, Mitt Romney and Ron Paul, were there to woo evangelical leadership and Tea Party activists, providing more proof the two are quite past any ideological differences.
No one better represents this bridge than Reed, as Sarah Posner has noted this summer. Despite a history of scandals that effectively swindled members of the Religious Right, conflating god and anti-government ideology is vintage Reed. He's asserted that our Founding Fathers "believed that America would succeed or fail based on whether it as a civilization was based on biblical principles" and that Tea Party victories of the 2010 midterms stemmed from an evangelical and Tea Party coalition. The relationship functions, according to Reed, because the former group exhibits "a quintessentially anti-government, corporate-minded 'Christian' or 'biblical' view of the role of government."
This alleged anti-government, corporate-minded philosophy hasn't just helped at the polls. In the fierce debates surrounding Internet regulation and net neutrality—a term coined by former Columbia Law Professor and now member of the Federal Trade Commission's Office of Policy Planning, Tim Wu—Reed's reasserting his influence.
Net neutrality, in essence, prevents Internet service providers from creating a tiered price system that would charge clients based on the Internet content or applications they use. In a 2006 Washington Post article, Stanford Law professor and founder of the Center for Internet and Society, Lawrence Lessig, and Robert W. McChesney, professor of communication at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and co-founder of Free Press, a media reform group, compared the detriments of Internet price discrimination to the current landscape of cable TV. "A handful of massive companies would control access and distribution of content, deciding what you get to see and how much it costs," they write.
Reed has been identified by ThinkProgress (see documents here and another set here) for lobbying in favor of the cable industry's pricing structure—specifically, for his services to National Cable and Telecom Association (NCTA), a stark opponent of Congress' and the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) advocacy for net neutrality. Reed has referred to his contracted services as "'legal and advertising' services." Three million dollars worth of "services," that is.
According to ThinkProgress' analysis, Reed markets himself to clients as an influential middleman who can promote their political interests as a vital fulcrum between them and "third party allies." He's justified in those claims. While Reed's been earning his $3 million, his old business partner, Tim Phillips, has directed anti-net neutrality advertising and propaganda campaigns. Phillips, president of Americans for Prosperity (AFP), employed Tea Party and anti-communistic rhetoric in a $1.4 million advertising campaign to defeat net neutrality in 2010. The campaign is misleading for its representation of net neutrality as a government takeover of the Internet.
AFP posits itself as a source of education and mobilization on economic policy. However, its primary anti-net neutrality website, "No Internet Takeover," provides little if any concrete information regarding the central premise of net neutrality— and nothing on the defining principles of the policy itself. It instead features an inflammatory YouTube video and tautologous, confusing links. One such link is to a statement from the organization's vice president that essentially reduces net neutrality to unnecessary government regulation. The stipulations of said regulation remain obscure, leaving the terms of "regulation" up to the imagination of the reader.
Of course net neutrality, contrary to the AFP's projected, propagandistic image of it, has always been the template for Internet infrastructure; neutrality legislation would prevent (rather than cause) censorship and cable companies' profiteering and discrimination. Net neutrality rules, which the FCC has already set into motion, will prevent censorship of any kind—including that of right-wing, conservative websites.
So why is it, then, that conservative groups like Americans for Prosperity, in tandem with the Religious Right and folks like Reed, are so adamant to stop net neutrality? Though a clear answer may be hard to pin down, part of the answer lies in the fact that these groups want to have their cake and eat it too—to stop the government from "regulating" the Internet while selectively choosing what content is appropriate, i.e. what content coincides with their religious ideology.
Like Reed's perennial resurfacing, battles for media control continue to come around again. One of the most instructive examples may be the rise and fall of the Fairness Doctrine, a 1949 FCC policy that responded to radio broadcasts of propaganda abroad—in Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy—as well as to racial and religious broadcasts at home–like a 1930s show by Father Coughlin, an anti-Semitic Catholic priest. Evangelicals' and other religious conservatives' desire to thwart regulation of the airwaves, even while engaging in their own inter-censorship, defined 20th-century American religious broadcasting. The medium of radio permitted evangelists to re-enter the changing public sphere in a new way and to position themselves as protectors of the nation's morality against modernism, "communism," "unnecessary" government regulation, changing family norms, and notoriously, the Fairness Doctrine.
The doctrine set forth two principles: the first stated that programming had to include issues of public interest because, so it stated, limited space for programs necessitated public interest content on the radio ("spectrum scarcity"). The second premise of the doctrine mandated that stations provide a balanced account of issues by giving fair time to both sides.
According to Patrick Farabaugh's Carl McIntire's Crusade against the Fairness Doctrine: Fundamentalist Preacher and Radio Commentator Challenges Federal Communications Commission and its Fairness Rules, only one radio evangelist was denied a license under the Fairness Doctrine: Carl McIntire. Farabaugh recounts the role McIntire's vehement opposition to the FCC's fairness rules played in the ultimate demise of the Fairness Doctrine. McIntire's 20th-century crusade against radio regulation culminated in his dramatic 1973 protest of WXUR's failure to renew his show's license. He took to neutral waters; from the Columbus, a ship twelve miles off the coast of Cape May, New Jersey, McIntire broadcast his infamous pirate station, "Radio Free America," as retaliation against the license renewal.
But other anti-Fairness Doctrine events in his career contributed to the doctrine's demise as well. During the week of June 3-7, 1967, only three days after McIntire hosted a "Radio Conference" in Collingswood, New Jersey (which called for the repeal of Section 315 of the 1934 Federal Communications Act, a clause that mandated broadcasters allot equal air time to political candidates running for office), the FCC declared that licensees were now responsible for all programs on their radio or television stations, regardless of their origin of production. This "codification" of the Fairness Doctrine meant to hold station owners accountable for the content they broadcast, thus exerting pressure to better edit programming.
McIntire persisted in his appeal to listeners to pressure the FCC. He was joined by others, including fellow evangelical radio host Billy Hargis. Together they reached more than 500 stations nationwide. By this time, CBS and NBS both supported McIntire's quest to reverse the fairness rules. The FCC, in its quest to hold corporations accountable, tellingly failed. The corporations and their supporters proved too powerful for government regulation.
Still, a toothless version of the Fairness Doctrine hobbled on. Donald J. Jung argues in The Federal Communications Commission, the Broadcast Industry, and the Fairness Doctrine, 1981-1987 that debate within the FCC from 1981 to 1987 mostly focused on social, economic, and constitutional issues. "The [Fairness] doctrine illustrates nicely the myth of journalistic ethics in the real-world conflict with commercial activity and political advantage," Jung writes. Opponents of the Fairness Doctrine never forgot religious broadcasters' support.
Mark Fowler, a former lawyer for radio stations, was appointed as FCC chairman in the 1980s by Ronald Reagan. In keeping with the administration's pro-business ethos, he sought to eliminate what he and others saw as excessive government intervention, as an impediment to their version of freedom of speech and press. Fowler directly appealed to the National Religious Broadcasters for support. On February 9, 1982, in what sounds hauntingly like a retelling of arguments against net neutrality today, he claimed that "spectrum scarcity" was really a front constructed by an anti-religious FCC to control the airwaves.
As Richard H. Gentry notes in his 1984 essay published in Volume 28:3 of the Journal of Broadcasting, "Broadcast Religion: When Does it Raise Fairness Doctrine Issues," decades after the doctrine's initial adoption in 1949, the FCC avoided discussion of what role religion played in issues of fairness. In a 1975 case involving an atheist's demand for equal response time to an overtly religious program, the FCC chose to tread carefully by claiming it "'knows of no substantial question in this country concerning the merits of religion and it does not hold that the Fairness Doctrine is applicable to the broadcast of church services, devotions, prayers, religious music or other material of this nature. . . . To the extent that any program, regardless of label, deals with a controversial issue of public importance, the fairness doctrine applies."
In 1977 a California television program on KVOF-TV/San Francisco opposed equal time for the Council on Religion and the Homosexual after airing a segment that opposed gay rights in the work force and in housing. KVOF's argument against accepting the Council on Religion and the Homosexual's fairness challenge was simply a question of rhetorical framing. Responding to vocal anti-gay rights activist and former actress, Anita Bryant, the station stated, "Despite the clear political implications of her rhetoric, Ms. Bryant expressed herself in religious terms. While all religious discussions find both source and effect in the political and social spheres of influence, once these discussions are couched in Biblical and religious terms and issued from a primarily religious forum, they constitute religious views' which should not be regulated by civil tribunals."
Thus KVOF essentially claimed that, with the FCC's backing, "religious issues" should be granted autonomy from the legal principles, sanctions, and laws guiding radio broadcast in the public sphere, a claim based simply on the categorization of "biblical or religious" language as benign and outside the spectrum of controversy, despite (in)accuracy, contextualization or the political impetus of its content.
Deliberation surrounding the Fairness Doctrine's demise demonstrates the shifting and often conflicting concepts central to these ongoing debates about media fairness. "Public" and "fair" have naturally been framed and reframed over the decades, blurring any divide between politics and religion. Shifting "ownership" of and "responsibility" for the media landscape ultimately permitted the slippage of the Religious Right into the political body of the "majority"—thanks to a continuing alliance with like-minded corporate interests. This gradual consolidation of media bandwidth allowed politically motivated religious groups to freely project religious views without sanction. To much of the public, the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine meant preservation of free speech. No longer were religious groups targeted with law suits or accusations of imbalance. Less publicized was the complex alliance of corporate power and deregulation policy within and between the government and religious broadcasters, an alliance which ultimately developed into the current (relatively) uncensored and undoubtedly polemical American broadcasting system.
Julie Ingersoll has reported that statements by David Barton, a PFAW radio show host and self-styled historian to the Religious Right, (including a few Republican presidential candidates) qualify net neutrality as 'Unbiblical Socialism.'" Ingersoll writes that "FCC-supported net neutrality legislation which, as PFAW put it, 'ensures that Internet service providers can't charge higher rates for faster delivery of content,' violates biblical principles of free market, and that they are 'socialist.'"
Socialism, according to Barton, is "any move away from what he sees as an unfettered free market, any regulation or involvement on the part of government. . . and of course he thinks that private ownership and free markets are biblically sanctioned," writes Ingersoll.
But the inconsistency is evident. Republicans, religious conservatives, and Tea Party members have not worked to keep the Internet totally free, but merely free game for corporations. Barton has stated, "'This is not anarchy. We're not suggesting moral license, we don't want to have obscenity, pornography, child pornography …that's not it. You still have moral laws to follow. We just don't want micro managing by the federal government.'" Nonetheless, the Internet is the best place to go for obscenity, pornography, child pornography and such. In Barton's world, either incoming, censoring corporations will clean up the Internet's act or the seedier stuff on the net can't compare to limiting the capitalistic rights of the captains of media.
Moral hierarchies aside, the marriage between political, corporate and moral constituents carries on, with hoodwinked consumers blessing their lucrative alliances. At the National Religious Broadcasters Convention last February—an event that drew, among others, such conservative activists and broadcasters as James Dobson, whose "Family Talk with Dr. James Dobson" radio show is carried by 300 stations—House Speaker John Boehner made it quite clear what he considered the media's role to be. Within his overarching tirade against the national debt, taxes, and encroaching regulation, he asked that religious broadcasters speak about the national debt on their programs in the same way they do about family values. Boehner also encouraged broadcasters to stand up for freedom, a "God-given right" that was being attacked by the FCC via net neutrality just as it had been by the Fairness Doctrine.
Yet there is no complete consensus between anti-net neutrality conservative groups (with which evangelicals predominantly associate) and the diverging, relatively supportive stance on net neutrality articulated by the Christian Coalition and other such larger institutions—institutions which more readily separate economic issues from concerns about content. But as Ralph Reed well knows (and as history of the Fairness Doctrine shows), the "public" is quite often willing to be told what to do.

Singer Peter Andre is to write a romantic song with Bee Gees legend Robin Gibb to crack America and woo Kim Kardashian, according to sources.
Andre, 37, and Gibb, 60, are fixing dates to write the song, and the Australian singer is hoping that it will attract 29-year-old Kardashian's attention.
Andre and Gibb had met at the World Music Awards in Monaco, where they got on well together.
"Peter went down well at the awards and was in demand. Robin and Peter got on really well and they agreed they would get their diaries sorted to work together," the Daily Star quoted a source as saying.
"It could be the perfect duet for him to crack America and it's likely to get Kim's attention," the source added.

I have a shapefile of OSM data. I plan to use the data for an ArcGIS Engine application, and I was wondering if there are any existing solutions to getting the data's schema into your typical GIS format. What I'm talking about is the "tags" attribute. It contains a comma-separated list of categories and their values, whereas typically you would see these values as separate fields in a feature class.
Are there any tools available that separate the tag values out into separate fields? It would probably be straightforward to create a Python script that separates these out, but I'd like to know if a solution already exists before I create one myself.

Why Do Cats Purr?
Every year in the United States, over 1.2 million people are mauled by cats. Cat bites are dangerous and can are very deadly. If you or a loved one live near a cat, it is of paramount importance to always be alert and prepared for conflict.
Cat bites are associated with higher risk of infection. Unlike dogs, cats possess a snakelike array of teeth that are sharp, needlike daggers of death. The teeth penetrate deep muscle of victims, directly injecting lethal doses of toxic bacteria into the body and bloodstream of innocent victims. Human babies are at highest risk of cat bite death (CBD) due to their soft, veal-like muscle and scent of milk.
Cats will secretly bite a human baby to get a taste of blood, then smother the child over the mouth to get a taste of milk and also silence the victim until oxygen deprivation causes a near sleep state. The cats with then go back to the puncture wound and lick clean the remaining blood to get one more taste and cause the skin to close up around the wound, hiding the truth from the adults in the house.
This leads to many bacterial infections and cases of sepsis seen in infants and toddlers. They cannot communicate the horrors cats do to them behind closed doors, when everyone has stepped away for but a few moments.
Cats are also very seductive, using their purr to cause a sense of trust to be aroused. But the only thing that should be aroused by a cat's purr is panic and fear. Cats are incapable of feeling love. They are incapable of feeling complete gratitude.
If you think otherwise, try a simple experiment. Give your cat a belly rub and a rub on its flank and hind quarters. At some point, no matter how long you've owned it, it was purr and then bite you. It will never fail.
Purrs are actually the sound a cat's heart makes when it speeds up. There is a saying in the old mechanic's world, "The engine is purring like a kitten." This saying comes from old knowledge that a cat's heart operates much like a rugged v8 engine: hot, mean and vocal. It always burns so hot with rage and primal instinct that it creates a purring noise, just like a throttling engine. It is just waiting to rev up and send the cat hurtling at one of your exposed veins or flesh.
If you find yourself victimized by a cat bite, please think clearly and remember the following:
- Time and location of bite
- Health status of cat, rabies vaccination history, behavior, whereabouts, etc.
- Circumstances surrounding the bite (ie, provoked or defensive bite versus unprovoked bite)
- Location of all bites
- Patient's medical history
Untreated, a cat bite can kill within 24 hours. A man recently failed to get his family's cat bite checked out and nearly died from Bubonic plague, both his hands falling into a state of irreversible gangrene.

Profile Name
I'm trying to use a name that's more than 15 characters long, when I do I get an annoying sound that won't let me go past 15. I've seen other people online use almost 20. I've tried using notepad to edit the name but all I get is a load failure.
I know this can be done, I may not going about it the right way.
Any help would be appreciated.
Generally, the people online use a Gamespy ID rather than their profile name. If you want a +15 letter name in SP, you're out of luck.

Secrets of Success
twists of life this September 2013
Sunday, September 01, 2013
Why does it seem that September is so good at ushering in the feeling of something *new* all through our lives? This is the first September in almost all my life that I am not a student. This September I will be entering the University as a sessional instructor. I have my PhD so I will be Dr. Jench but it hasn't quite sunk in yet... I've been a TA (teaching assistant with my own discussion sections) numerous times and I've taught two university level courses in the summer session... This time feels different. More real. But much less permanent. I'm only signed on for one class this semester. I must be GREAT to get signed on to teach more classes. I have some ideas for classes that I will continue to put together and then, once I have enough clout in the department, I will propose them... I'm still not sure if I want to continue with academics BUT I do like the idea of working myself into an adjunct position so I'd have the option of teaching when some classes came up and I'd be able to have an affiliation to continue my research. It will work out, I just need to keep on putting my best feet forward!
In the meantime I'm still working at my usual admin job part time, house/pet sitting when available, still applying for other jobs... I haven't put too many resumes out (I need to be more proactive!) and I haven't received any calls... I'm hoping that maybe next week I will... There is one non-profit I would love to work with, positively visualizing receiving a call from them on Tuesday.
I have been doing alright with my recent, renewed nutrition and fitness goals. My sweet tooth is a bit rampant and I'm trying to tame it/ drive myself crazy by only having fruit in the house... I don't even have easy to grab carbs. Last weekend, I enjoyed too much chocolate, nuts, and wine while watching a movie with my boyfriend.. and I had 2or 3 nights when my dinner was more than I needed... but that is life and I'm still focused on eating healthy. All it takes is planning! This week's main meal is going to be my rice and beans with extra veggies.
I haven't been going to zumba very much lately... but it's because my back has been aching. Nearly 20 years ago when I was 12 or 13 I was a chubby but active kid when I stressed my back out and ended up with a slipped disk in my lumbar area. For the most part I have it under control but it has flared up recently and just aches. I'm taking it easy in my yoga classes. I tried acupuncture last week and have another appointment this next week, I'm hopeful. However, in terms of my exercise this September, I think I should be able to maintain my schedule of yoga 3-6 times per week, though zumba might be out and not only because of my back, but also because my favourite instructor is taking an Italian vacation and the woman who is filling in for her jumps too much (stresses out my back) with not enough latin choreography. I'll figure it out... but I don't want to go below 3 workout sessions per week.
I want to get more sleep... for about a week I was good at being in bed between 10-11, even if I read for an hour or two (and usually reading stuff for my class or research!). To get more sleep (and to fit in my workouts!) I will need to employ better time management. I can do that.
In other news, tomorrow my boyfriend and I are heading into the mountains! I'm hoping to get in a hike, but the area I was thinking was devastated by floods in June and the trail I used to love still isn't open. We'll see. No matter what we do, it will be a lovely day getaway!
Sparkfriends, I hope you are all having a lovely Sunday and your own twists in life! Happy September!

Manufacturing Pennsylvania's Future: Regional strategies that build from competitive strengths and address competitive challenges, one of nine co-authors (Harrisburg: Team PA Foundation, January 2004).
In the fall of 2003, the Pennsylvania Industrial Resource Centers (IRCs) and the TEAM PA Foundation commissioned Deloitte to conduct a study of the current dynamics and possiblefutures of the Pennsylvania manufacturing economy. The goals of the study were four fold:
1) Document the past and present importance of manufacturing to the Pennsylvania economy
2) Analyze the forces that will shape the possible futures of manufacturing in Pennsylvania
3) Assess the economic impact and return on investment of the Industrial Resources Centers
4) Identify actions to help achieve a dynamic and prosperous future for manufacturing in Pennsylvania and, in turn, a prosperous future for Pennsylvania through investments in manufacturing
Hill, Edward W. and Billie K. Geyer, Business Climate, Business Taxes, and Economic Development, Taxing Issues, October 2002, Cleveland, OH: Federation for Community Planning. (This is a reprint of Chapter 4 of Ohio's Competitive Advantage: Manufacturing Productivity (Cleveland: Levin College of Urban Affairs, Cleveland State University, 2001).
An overview of the State of Ohio's business tax structure is relevant to the current statewide policy discussions about tax policy and school funding because one of the outcomes of the state's current economic development programs is to counteract parts of the business tax code, specifically the Tangible Personal Property Tax, that put the state at a cost disadvantage compared with neighboring states. This tax in particular, and business taxation in general, needs to be reconsidered within the context of the state's overall system of public finance. In this chapter, particular attention is paid to the role that business taxation plays in state and local government finance and the horizontal equity-or fairness-of the state's business tax system.
The overall level of business taxation is not at issue in Ohio-the state is near the average of its immediate neighbor and competitor states on this measure of competitiveness. The problem is with the structure of taxation, the way it penalizes Ohio's demonstrated competitive advantage, and (most seriously of all) the way it provides disincentives for investing in both productivity-enhancing capital and new ventures-which are at the foundation of income growth in the state. A competitive analysis of Ohio's business taxes released in the fall of 1997 determined that "Ohio's average tax burden on all businesses is the fifth lowest among these 11 [competitor] states . Ohio's business share of total tax collections is smaller than six of these 10 neighboring and competing states . It is important to remember that these gross tax burden measures mask significant variations in the level of taxation imposed on businesses within specific industries."
Burgess, Patricia, Ruth Durack, and Edward W. Hill, Re-imaging the rust belt: Can Cleveland sustain the renaissance? In Sam Bass Warner and Lawrence J. Vale (Eds.) Imaging the city (New Brunswick, NJ: CUPR Press, 2001): 95-117.
A team of Clevelanders - historian Patricia Burgess, urban designer Ruth Durack, and economist Edward Hill - continues the evaluation of the fused politics of image-making and land-use planning. In the 1970s, Cleveland, like the Bronx, suffered a national reputation as a dying city. Re-imaging the whole city was the new goal, and rebuilding its downtown was the heart of the undertaking. Downtown renewal, however, called into play a different set of actors than the efforts to revive a residential district. Like the Bronx, however, the nature of the planning process itself exerted a powerful force upon both the image sought and the building that followed.
Hill, Edward W. and John F. Brennan, A methodology for identifying the drivers of industrial clusters: The foundation of regional competitive advantage, Economic Development Quarterly 14(1) (February 2000): 65-96. * In 2005 and 2006 ranked fourth in EDQ's citation list.
This article represents a theoretically based method for identifying the clusters of industries in which a region has a competitive advantage. The method combines cluster analysis with discriminant analysis, using variables derived from economic base theory and measures of productivity, to identify the industries in which a region has its greatest competitive advantage. These industries are called driver industries because they drive the region's economy. The driver industries are linked to supplier and customer industries with information from a region-specific input-output model to form industry clusters. After introductory comments about cluster-based approaches to understanding regional economies, the authors present an overview of their method and the variables used. They then apply this method to the Cleveland-Akron Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Brennan, John F. and Edward W. Hill, Measuring metropolitan manufacturing competitiveness, Economic Development Commentary (Summer 1999) 23(2): 33-38. **
The authors developed a ranking of the manufacturing competitiveness of all metropolitan areas in the U.S. The index results provide three lessons: 1) manufacturing competitiveness goes far beyond production and production plans, 2) all five disciplines of production are critical to regional economic performance and 3) high quality sub-national economic data is one of the hidden competitive advantages of the U.S. economy.

In 1978 everything seemed to come apart in Cleveland: politically, the mayor survived a voter recall by 236 votes; fiscally, Cleveland was the first city to suffer a bond default since the Great Depression; and ecologically, Lake Erie was declared dead. Coterminous with these disasters, the economy of Greater Cleveland experienced an irreparable secular erosion of its durable goods base, starting in the third quarter of 1979 and continuing until the first quarter of 1983, signaling the end of the old economic order. This essay discusses Cleveland's shift from the old to a new order economy. A brief description of the emergence of the industrial old order economy is followed by an analysis of the new economic structure. This analysis suggests that the new economic structure involves more than the numbers of jobs lost or changed. It is also evident in changes in the incidence of poverty, the relative costs of housing, and the occupational characteristics of the residential labor force.

In June 2008, my husband, Allan and I joined a guided backpacking trip in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge with ABEC's Dave Hamilton. The trip "Caribou Migration" proved worthy of its description as we witnessed a multitude of these beautiful animals making their way across Alaska's Brooks Range. Our trip began in a small commuter flight from Fairbanks to Arctic Village then a spectacular tour in a four-seater plane to the Kongakut River. For eight days we experienced this remote, pristine wilderness just as the spring thaw uncovered the lush tundra. I'll let my photos tell the rest of the story.

Keeping Your Composure & More
This article is sponsored in part by DoubleYourDating.com (What's this?)
Yes, it's that time once again: The day we feature your dating and relationship questions. Although we would like to answer each one personally and with as much detail as possible, the overwhelming amount of inquiries forces us to highlight those that are most interesting to AskMen.com readers; your e-mail may even be answered in the process.
This week's Q&A focuses on keeping your composure around women and starting conversation. David DeAngelo, author of Double Your Dating: What Every Man Should Know About How To Be Successful With Women, has your answers.
I hear that it's important for a guy to keep his "composure." What exactly does this mean, and why is it important?Ah, one of my favorite topics: COMPOSURE.
I have been thinking a lot about the concept of composure lately.
Composure is vital because we humans tend to read very small cues from others, then make large judgments about them as people.
For instance, if you're the type to let little things bother you, then you're probably not going to be thought of as a completely masculine guy.
Let's say that you're out with a girl for coffee, and you come out to find a parking ticket on your car. Some guys I know wouldn't even think about it — they'd just get upset. They'd start whining, ranting, raving, and throwing a tantrum with no regard for what the woman is thinking of them.
On the other hand, I know guys who would casually pick up the ticket, make a funny comment, and not even miss a beat.
What's the difference?
The guy who keeps his composure at all times is FAR more attractive than the one who doesn't.
Another place where composure plays an important part is when women TEST men. If a woman starts trying to push your buttons, becomes demanding or starts being dramatic about something, you need to KEEP YOUR COOL.
In fact, some of the guys I know who are THE MOST successful with women actually don't even respond AT ALL to drama or tests from women. They just continue what they were doing.
On the other hand, I know some guys who let this kind of thing take them off balance and upset them (I used to be one of those guys). If you let things like this upset you or even get to you a little bit, it's going to be obvious that you can't control your emotions, and it will make you less attractive all around.
Keep your composure. Keep your composure. Keep your composure.
I have no idea how to approach a woman I want to meet.Here are a few ideas for you...
First of all, you must realize that your body language is more important than the words you use. Wherever you are, and whatever the situation, you MUST remember that your composure and body language are the keys.
I've watched a lot of guys approach a LOT of women in my day. And I can usually tell within the first few SECONDS if the guy knows what he's doing with women and if he's going to be successful.
Most guys use submissive, apologetic body language and voice tones; they almost look as if they're pleading with a woman to give them approval and as if they're nervous and self-conscious about the whole event.
In other words, most guys come across as WUSSIES when they first approach women.
On the other hand, the guys I know who are the most successful with women are the opposite. They're totally cool, calm and collected. They often approach a woman and begin a conversation like they would with an old friend. There is no apologetic body language, and there are no signs of insecurity.
They aren't there to find out if the woman is going to give them some approval. On the contrary: They are trying to find out if the woman meets THEIR standards.
What's even better than getting her phone number?

Trying to summarize the plot of writer/director Joseph Kahn's horror/comedy/science fiction film Detention is somewhat akin to the group of blind men trying to describe the elephant from Indian folklore: take one part Heathers, one part Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, one part Prom Night, one part Clerks, one part Scream, one part Breakfast Club, and one part Donnie Darko. Mix all of these together, and you'll almost get an idea what is in store.
What I can say about this film without giving anything away is that there is a masked axe-murderer stalking the halls of Grizzly Lake High School dressed as the female slasher character in a movie-within-a-movie series, "Cinderhella." At the same time, teenage loser Riley Jones (played by Shanley Caswell, of Bones and iCarly fame) has all but given up on life. She has a crush on her best friend Clapton (Hunger Games' Josh Hutcherson), who is oblivious to her feelings. He is currently dating cheerleader Ione (Resident Evil: Extinction's Spencer Locke), former best friend of Riley who happens to know a lot about '90s music and is the ex-girlfriend of resident bully/quarterback, Billy (Parker Bagley, of 2010's A Nightmare on Elm Street). Riley is constantly dodging the advances of perpetually horny geek Sander (Aaron David Johnson), and the wrath of Principal Verge (Waiting's Dane Cook), former science club nerd and epitome of uncool who seems to have it out for Riley and friends, and who relishes in dishing out the discipline. Once the bodies start piling up, questions become answered, jokes fly at you like mosquitoes in Florida, and plot twists come crawling out of the woodwork.
The first thing that grabbed my attention was the Scott Pilgrim-style breaking of the fourth wall and animation in the beginning. Once this tone was set, the viewer is brutally pummeled by laughs, gore, and relentless '90s pop culture references. Before you can catch your breath between scenes, a flashback is shown which answers some questions, but poses a lot more.
The blood and gore was mostly of the CGI fare, but it felt right, given the atmosphere of the whole thing. It is as much a horror film as Broken Lizard's Club Dread (which I immensely enjoyed), so I can't complain if a CG death or two looks "silly." Besides, the characters are the true stars here, and I found myself understanding them all, which is a very tough task to pull off in today's ADHD era of filmmaking.
The actors all seem to enjoy their roles, as you'll notice right from the start. Especially fun here is comedian Dane Cook. His role as the sadistic-but-clueless principal is priceless. He chews up lines such as, "Who taught you how to make a snuff porno, Lady Gaga?", it is clear that he's having a ball playing this character, which is sort of a cross between Steve Carell in The Office, and Jeffrey Jones in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. I am not spoiling anything or exaggerating here when I say that every character in this movie is important to the plot, and all of them are a treat to watch. Take the exchange student from Canada, played by Travis Fleetwood, for example. He wears a hockey jersey in every scene and talks like a second-rate white rapper. At first, one would think that his rant/anti-vegetarian debate with Riley is there solely for comedic purpose, but by the time the credits roll, all will be understood. Kahn does a wonderful job of weaving every single character into this intricate web.
The pop culture references and jokes are fast and plentiful. In more than one case, I had to rewind the film, as just when my brain registered one joke, another flew by so fast, it passed me right up. Ron Jeremy makes a funny and memorable cameo, but don't blink, or you'll miss Dominic (LOST, Lord of the Rings) Monaghan get told to eat something rather unsavory.
Detention is one original movie; It is a breath of fresh air in a sea full of banal remakes, and is deserving of multiple viewings, if not to try and catch all the jokes, but to see it again knowing what is going on. I cannot wait to see what Kahn has in store for us next.
I give this film 5 out of 5 stars. Find it on Blu-Ray and DVD.

Two men were arrested and charged with hacking Sony's computer files, and stealing the late Michael Jackson's back catalogue, on Friday, March 2nd.
While the alleged crime took place last April, the incident was kept under wraps until now.
According to Fox News, a source within Sony said the Jackson estate was told about the hack but the company did not have to make the knowledge public as there was no customer data involved. Unlike last April, when the company experienced a major confidentiality breach after its Sony PlayStation Network was hacked and personal information of over 77 million users was stolen.
This go round, the label's music archive was hacked, including the King of Pop's back catalogue, and the cyber thieves illegally downloaded digital files including material from studio sessions during the making of some of Jackson's biggest hits.
In September of last year, Smooth Criminal fans James McCormick, 25, and James Mark, 26, were charged with copyright offences and computer misuse. The duo pleaded not guilty on Friday, March 2 in a United Kingdom courtroom. The men were then released on bail and set to stand trial in January, 2013, according to the Associated Press.
Value of Michael Jackson's Back Catalogue
In 2010, Sony purchased the music collection from Jackson's estate for a reported $395 million following his untimely death in 2009. The hefty contract with the MJ estate maintained for seven years Sony would have the rights to music released following Jackson's death, including up to 10 new albums.
A source told press, "Everything Sony purchased from the Jackson estate was compromised."
The stolen Jackson tracks reportedly included a duet with the late Freddie Mercury and a collaboration with Black Eyed Peas frontman Will.i.am.
How the cyber crooks were caught
After an extensive investigation, experts reportedly traced the hack to the United Kingdom by examining a 'fingerprint' allegedly left behind by the two "fans".
The UK's Serious Organized Crime division then reportedly took over the case, with the two men appearing in court last Friday and charged with offences under the computer Misuse Act.

Lea Michele, who best known for her role on the critically acclaimed TV show 'Glee', is making the headlines this week by posting very revealing pictures of herself. On Jan. 3, Lea posted a cheeky picture to Twitter. That is, a picture featuring none other than her perfectly round rump. In the picture, you see how physically fit the talented young star is, with a nice round back side.
Lea Michele is vacationing in Mexico, and the relaxation seems to be doing her a world of good. The talented singer had a rough year when her boyfriend and co-star, Cory Monteith died from 'multiple drug intoxication' (heroin and alcohol) this past year. He was only 31 years-old.
She is looking to the new years as a new beginning for her. She will be releasing her debut album on March 4 titled "Louder". She has already shared the first two singles with her fans, "Cannonball" and "Battlefield", and received rave reviews.
She spoke to those who have supported her through Twitter, thanking them for their support through this very heartbreaking year. She looks to be feeling better, getting a much needed break away from work.
What do you think about her very revealing and 'cheeky' photos?

This is a bit of a general question.
I am creating a tournament scheduler in Excel and I was wondering if I could do something a bit more advanced than just spreadsheet sharing for teams to update their scores.
My thinking is this: Create a macro with specific username and password for each team and they can then only update their own scores, and have the opposing team be able to approve the scores to validate them. I don't think that coding this would be a problem but my issue here is that I do not know where I can upload this for everybody in the tournament can have access to it as we do not have a shared file server. How can I have the shared spreadsheet available to everybody freely?
