According to a June 13 story on Deadline.com, NBC is developing a new eight-part "event" series on the Beatles. The project, which hasn't been publicly announced, has been written by Michael Hirst, Ben Silverman and Teri Weinberg of "The Tudors," according to the report, which was first leaked by Deadline.
Industry reaction: In a June 12 article by Steve Knopper, Rolling Stone published an article presumably about the effects of Paul McCartney's concert postponements. The article notes that some promoters are concerned about his health. It also said that older performers like McCartney try extra hard to stay healthy and even isolate themselves from anyone not feeling well.
"These aging rock 'n' rollers are more susceptible to health issues," the article quoted Tim Jorstad, manager of the Grateful Dead. The article also offered the idea that McCartney could soon be touring less, something the Rolling Stones do, or do shorter shows. Or, like Ringo, he could take a break during the shows.
Speaking of projects: Remember the Brian Epstein movie supposedly in the works with Tom Hanks? It seems to have quietly disappeared. Meanwhile, "The Fifth Beatle" movie, taken from the comic novel and written by Vivek Tiwary, is still on the boards.
Here's Paul-l-l-l-l-l!: The full show from the night Paul McCartney's appeared on "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" to celebrate Carson's birthday in 1984 is included in "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson: The Vault Series: Volume 3," just out on DVD, one of six in a new series of discs featuring full episodes from the classic NBC late-night show.
We were lucky enough to see the show live with Carson twice. Hopefully, there are tapes of the funny things he did when the show went to commercials. That was something to see.
Ringo in New York: Ringo Starr will bring his artwork to New York City as a collection of his self-portraits will be unveiled at a VIP reception and exhibition June 19 at Soho Contemporary Contemporary Art Gallery, 259 Bowery, New York, NY 10002, the gallery announced in a press release June 12.
The first 50 people to purchase a signed artwork by Ringo will also be able to attend the VIP reception, where buyers will be able to meet him and have a photo taken with him. To attend, call at the gallery at (646) 719-1316. You can also get an exhibit catalog by email with a request to email@example.com.
What's coming: A source says there may be news on an upcoming Beatles release come Monday. We shall see.
Otis Wilbury returns: Jeff Lynne will perform with the BBC Concert Orchestra Sept. 14 in London's Hyde Park, reports the Press Association. "It's very exciting to come to Hyde Park with Radio 2 and do something this big, and I'm very much looking forward to playing my ELO songs for everyone," he said.
With a little help: Sandi Borowsky tells a charming story on her Facebook For Beatle Fans group page that involves the Ringo concert she attended the other night. We won't give it away, but you need to read it.
A dream come true: Remember Mike Geraghty, the singer we told you about who wrote "Still With You," the tribute to George Harrison that came out sounding it could have been sung by George himself? He emailed us recently to tell us that he's now working on a long-term project with music producer Alvin Taylor. If the name sounds familiar, Taylor's credits include playing drums on George Harrison's "Thirty-Three and 1/3." He has also worked on albums by Eric Burdon, Elton John, Bill Withers, Ron Wood and Bob Welch.
"It's hard for me not to believe that George himself had something to do with all this," Geraghty wrote on Facebook. He said it looks like his 25 years of hard work and dedication to his craft might finally be paying off. Congratulations, Mike!
Thumbing through: Bill Eppridge's "The Beatles: Six Days That Changed the World: February 1964" is a gorgeous book with mostly unseen photos from February, 1964. It's a great look back at a special time.

The US and European markets have been dominated by high performance, large displacement motorcycles for decades, with the entry-level into the sport often considered to be nothing more than a niche opportunity. But recent high-volume success of some humble, small capacity motorcycles, and the severe economic downturn has caused many to rethink this paradigm. MMW examines, the market's missing link.
The demographic group with the most influence on North America's motorcycle industry are the Baby Boomers. When the Boomers were in their 20's, they caused a surge in motorcycle sales by buying all the high-strung two-strokes and small displacement Japanese bikes then available. Peter Egan, the famed Cycle World columnist, is perhaps the most symbolic of his generation. He regularly writes romantically of his first new motorcycle, a Honda CB350, that he owned as a young man in the 1970's. Like most Boomer bikers, those humble, cheap and accessible motorcycles were the key that allowed them to develop their passion and skills so that they could later upgrade to ever bigger and more expensive fare.
Today the Boomers are the driving force behind our industry sales, in particular big V twins. Even with the Great Recession, Boomers almost single handedly define the bikes available in US showrooms, and guide the product decision making in corporate boardrooms. They want more power, more features, more exclusivity and generally choose more conservative styles of bike that reflect their tastes and financial position. The average age of a buyer of a new motorcycle is pegged at 46, which is why so many attractive middle weight or niche bikes from the major brands are unavailable in North American showrooms. The wisdom says : there is no market for small, entry level motorcycles except for the most plain and basic. I believe, based on experience in Europe, that there is no market because we offer nothing to attract young riders.
According to the mainstream press, kids interested in motorcycling in urban America only want Hayabusas with stretched swingarms and a NOS kit, so there is no point in bringing in anything small and hot. Entry level at your friendly neighbourhood dealer means boring, old tech bikes like Suzuki's 650 Savage or some other old nail. That is, until a few years ago when Honda brought us the Thai and Indonesian made CBR125, and Kawasaki brought in the new 250 and 650 Ninjas. Suddenly the littlest Ninja is the 5th best selling bike in America, ahead of any other sport model by a wide margin. In the UK, where biker peer pressure is much higher than here, particularly among sport riders, the little CBR was the best selling motorcycle for two years, period. The press and the purists both gave this 11hp whizzer the approving nod. It got a lot of new British biking.
Just because you can make monthly payments on an R1, but are so afraid to ride it fast that it sits in the garage most of the year, does not make you a motorcyclist. You may laugh at the guy (or girl) on the Ninja 250 or SV who rides in a rain suit late in the year, but they are the real thing. Three years from now they'll be on your R1, and know how to handle it properly. They'll also enjoy buying and riding high dollar bikes for decades to come, because they are confident, and have the skills to enjoy a much broader riding experience.
Absolute power might be the only cure for the hard core purist, but for most, just owning and riding a motorcycle is exciting enough. No one is completely fearless when they start out, so that 9 year old KLR with 29 hp is going to be plenty to get your heart racing. Why? Because it feels fast. And feel you can enjoy daily is a lot more attractive than talk about the Hayabusa with the chrome add-ons in your garage. Month after month of Boomer dominated press with yet another 180 hp superbike shootout is not particularly responsible messaging to youngsters, just like reviews of $35,000 cruisers is not getting new people on bikes.
Ducati's best selling bike ever was the original 600 monster. Rated at between 48-52 hp, it was hardly earth shattering, but it looked and sounded ferocious, was easy to ride, and most importantly, it felt good. So what that the top speed wasn't so high? Riding a Monster at 50mph was a grin inducing experience. The people it attracted ranged from newbies, to returners, to Boomers. Knowing that it didn't cost much made it sweeter. Now what if you could buy a 250 with that kind of feel? What if a 400 could make you feel like a superhero without breaking the bank, or your neck?
What the US market needs are cheap, cheerful and just plain hot small bikes. In Europe, the champions of tomorrow get started mastering road craft on 4.5 hp scooters and gearbox street bikes (like the Yamaha TZR50) before graduating to 125cc hotties like the Aprilia RS125, and Yamaha YZF R-125. By the time they are getting their first professional jobs, the typical European has been riding on the street for up to 8 years. Over here, every great American motorcyclist begins on dirt, and every World Champion we ever produced cut his teeth in motocross. If you can handle a 250 lb, 40 hp motorcycle on rough ground then mastering wheel spin, power slides and trail braking on pavement is easy. The key to widening the market is not more power or more exclusivity, its getting our teens after the motocrosser, and new riders on road bikes so that skills, riding maturity and a lifelong love of motorcycling can continue.
Some think this is impossible because small displacement motors can't handle the long distances of North America and highway speeds.
A modern 250 four stroke (Ninja 250) has the same top speed as a Harley 883, which no one will argue is insufficient for highway use. It also accelerates faster and turns more easily thanks to light weight and better balance. Obviously, the Ninja - 883 comparison is silly, because the person attracted to one won't like the other, but the point is that new technology, small to medium displacement motorcycles are capable, and can be hugely attractive if offered in a variety of forms. In terms of durability, 150 - 250 cc Japanese motorcycles ply the highways of India and Asia often carrying heavy loads and on roads that make Baja tracks look like the Interstate. On average, these small engines can take over 40,000 miles without being opened up (with regular maintenance.
The main missing ingredient is raw motorcycle appeal. If a bike is good looking, handles well and reasonable in price, it sells. The entry-level fare available here is limited, but getting better. As we reported in The Return of the Standard, Honda's CB300 Twister could be 2011's answer to Peter Egan's CB350, if Honda of America were to bring it here. Honda quality, contemporary design and a $3000 price tag would do more to boost motorcycling in the US than another product placement in a Hollywood movie. The good news is that these small, modern and fun bikes exist, but not here. It is only a matter of time and pressure before those Indian, Spanish, and South East Asian machines end up getting the spotlight they deserve, and into the hands of the deserving American public.

Laurieann Gibson, right now, ranks up there with the likes of Scooter Braun and Simon Cowell: a marquee pop-music name who accomplished that without actually making any pop music. She started out as a Fly Girl, a career rung Paula Abdul and Jennifer Lopez have demonstrated really can lead to greater things, but in her case those things have been only tangentially musical: being Lady Gaga's former creative honcho, quitting and becoming one of Nicki Minaj's current creative honchos (that Grammy exorcism/disembowelment session? Her work) and juggling about a dozen outside projects.
She'd like that to change. (Understandable.) She'd like that to change so much that she calls her lead dance-pop single "Last Chance," which is some severe moxie. She probably won't see that change, though, at least not with this.
If nothing else, "Last Chance" is fascinating because it demonstrates how you can make a song that more or less fulfills every dance-pop criterion but doesn't actually work. The synth bass starts solid, sometimes even inventive, then wilts during the chorus–a chorus with about half a melody–like a leaf in a downpour. Laurieann's voice does the same. It's not autotuned nearly as blatantly as some writers have suggested; rather, it's dull, something no studio button can fix. She sings "dance for our lives" as if neither dancing nor living never really happened. That's a representative lyric, too; they're either forgettable, senseless ("this is the last chance to dance for our lives"–you don't say) or stressed wrong. ("This is the final one"–not the greatest lyric itself–gets stuttered like any pop hook would, just in the exact wrong places.)
Everything here's lazy, in other words, which is actually baffling; of all the accusations you could level at Gibson, "not trying" would never be one. And it shouldn't even need saying how baffling a choice it is for a supposed career-launching track. If nothing else, though, "Last Chance" got a ready refuge in being incidental music for dance TV shows. Those will always have lives.

TRAMP is available under the URL below.
There is also a Savannah project page.
The package has been used successfully on GNU Emacs 20, GNU Emacs 21 and GNU Emacs 22, as well as XEmacs 21. XEmacs 20 is more problematic, see the notes in `tramp.el'. I don't think anybody has really tried it on GNU Emacs 19.
The package was intended to work on Unix, and it really expects a Unix-like system on the remote end (except the `smb' method), but some people seemed to have some success getting it to work on MS Windows NT/2000/XP XEmacs.
There is some informations on TRAMP on NT at the following URL; many thanks to Joe Stoy for providing the information: ftp://ftp.comlab.ox.ac.uk/tmp/Joe.Stoy/
When TRAMP does not connect to the remote host, there are two reasons heading the bug mailing list:
TRAMP needs to recognize the prompt on the remote machine after execution any command. This is not possible, when the prompt contains unknown characters like escape sequences for coloring. This should be avoided on the remote side. See section 4.10 Remote shell setup hints. for setting the regular expression detecting the prompt.
A special problem is the zsh, which uses left-hand side and right-hand side prompts in parallel. Therefore, it is necessary to disable the zsh line editor on the remote host. You shall add to `~/.zshrc' the following command:
[ $TERM = "dumb" ] && unsetopt zle && PS1='$ '
On some few systems, the implementation of
seems to be broken for longer strings. This case, you should
customize the variable
tramp-chunksize to 500. For a
description how to determine whether this is necessary see the
documentation of
When you log in to the remote machine, do you see the output of
ls in color? If so, this may be the cause of your problems.
ls outputs ANSI escape sequences that your terminal
emulator interprets to set the colors. These escape sequences will
confuse TRAMP however.
In your `.bashrc', `.profile' or equivalent on the remote machine you probably have an alias configured that adds the option `--color=yes' or `--color=auto'.
You should remove that alias and ensure that a new login does not
display the output of
ls in color. If you still cannot use
filename completion, report a bug to the TRAMP developers.
TRAMP uses globbing for some operations. (Globbing means to use the shell to expand wildcards such as `*.c'.) This might create long command lines, especially in directories with many files. Some shells choke on long command lines, or don't cope well with the globbing itself.
If you have a large directory on the remote end, you may wish to execute
a command like `ls -d * ..?* > /dev/null' and see if it hangs.
Note that you must first start the right shell, which might be
ksh or
bash, depending on which
of those supports tilde expansion.
The following snippet can be put in your `~/.emacs' file. It makes XEmacs beep after reading from or writing to the remote host.
(defadvice tramp-handle-write-region (after tramp-write-beep-advice activate) " make tramp beep after writing a file." (interactive) (beep)) (defadvice tramp-handle-do-copy-or-rename-file (after tramp-copy-beep-advice activate) " make tramp beep after copying a file." (interactive) (beep)) (defadvice tramp-handle-insert-file-contents (after tramp-copy-beep-advice activate) " make tramp beep after copying a file." (interactive) (beep))
Sometimes, TRAMP starts
ksh on the remote host for
tilde expansion. Maybe
ksh saves the history by default.
TRAMP tries to turn off saving the history, but maybe you have
to help. For example, you could put this in your `.kshrc':
if [ -f $HOME/.sh_history ] ; then /bin/rm $HOME/.sh_history fi if [ "${HISTFILE-unset}" != "unset" ] ; then unset HISTFILE fi if [ "${HISTSIZE-unset}" != "unset" ] ; then unset HISTSIZE fi
Shame on you, why did you read until now?
Unloading TRAMP can be achieved by applying M-x tramp-unload-tramp.

Where Story Meets Poetry: Writing the Poetry Novel 2013< Return to Workshops April 25 – April 28, 2013
Helen Frost
Helen worked for twenty years as a poet before publishing her first poetry collection, supporting herself with work she also loves, teaching—in elementary schools, as a poet-in-the-schools, and at the college level.
Kelly Bingham
Kelly was a story artist and director for Walt Disney Feature Animation for twelve years before earning an MFA in writing for children and young adults from Vermont College, after which she began writing full time. She is the author of the young-adult poetry novel Shark Girl, which was nominated for state book awards in seven states.
Susan Dobinick
Susan Dobinick is an assistant editor at Farrar Straus Giroux Books for Young Readers. She works on picture books and middle grade and young adult novels. Her favorite stories have strong voices and clearly appeal to kids and teens as well as critics.
Workshop Description
What makes a poetry novel work? It needs both poetic structure and an engaging narrative that pulls the reader along. It's a balance of poetry that strikes emotional chords with readers and good storytelling that keeps them turning the page. This workshop will help writers discover that balance. We will work on structure, both within the poems themselves and in the overall novel. Experienced faculty will share their knowledge, encouraging participants to generate new work and consider how it fits in with their work-in-progress. Each participant will be offered an individual critique session with a faculty member of up to ten pages of a work-in-progress, plus a synopsis (double-spaced). You will have the chance to polish individual poems, think through the overall structure of your manuscript, and work on new material that will give you renewed energy to return home and finish your poetry novel.
Additionally, we'll hear from a guest editor, Susan Dobinick (Farrar, Straus & Giroux), about what it takes to publish a novel in verse and what she's looking for in a manuscript.
Workshop Information
Begins at 3 p.m. on Thursday, April 25 with an optional tour of Highlights for Children and Boyds Mills Press; ends Sunday, April 28, after lunch.
Event Cost: $1150

A Satan statue design was recently unveiled by the folks who want the same exposure for Satan as awarded to the 10 Commandments at the Oklahoma State House. The proposed Satan statue has a horned rendition of Satan sitting with a child at either side looking up at this half animal and half human with adoring facial expressions.
According to 14U News on Jan. 7, the statue also doubles as a chair so people can sit on Satan's lap if they feel the need. This Satan statue is propose by the Satan Temple followers who take the stand that if the 10 Commandments can adorn the state capitol, then Satan should be awarded the same type of exposure.
This horned goat god of Pagans and Satanists statue is the brain child of the Satanic Temple, which has their headquarters in New York City, according to Syracuse.com
While the word Satan conjures up thoughts of evil, this is a statue that promotes what the modern day Satanists are preaching. This religion is promoting greater love and empathy of all things living, which is a commendable stand to take, but throwing Satan in the middle sends mixed messages. It's the "Satan" connotation that's the biggest hurdle for people to overcome, because of what Satan traditionally stands for.
The statue depicts Baphomet, a goat headed god of the Pagans and Satanists siting on a pentagram throne. It is seven-feet high and it's being billed as a statue that "will serve as a beacon calling for compassion among all living creatures."
The application seeking permission to erect this statue is now in the hands of the people who oversee the Oklahoma Capitol grounds. The 10 Commandment sculpture has opened the flood gates for other groups wanting their statues to represent their messages placed alongside of the 10 Commandments.
Requests from an animal rights group, a Hindu leader from Nevada and the satirical Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster"are just a few of the requests coming in to erect statues.
The Oklahoma Capitol Preservation Commission has placed a moratorium on considering any new requests. While anyone can still put in a request, you shouldn't expect a timely reply. The commission won't review them for some time to come.

The Dijo company was founded in 1990, although the family business traditions date back further - to 1973. Originally only salty snacks were produced in a small manufacturing facility. Currently, production takes place in two separate departments: salty and sweet, in three different production plants and the company itself employs 200 people. Dijo is a recognized producer of, among others, confectionery decorations, toppings for ice cream and desserts, confectionery and fruit fillings, jellied fruits, and - since 2006 - also tortillas. Dijo also occupies a leading place in the salty snacks market, producing a full range of high-quality salty sticks, pretzels, and snack mixes.
The quality of our products, competitive prices and the flexible and creative commercial policy have gained us great recognition among customers and contributed directly to the speedy growth of the company's sales.
Dijo has been recognized by The European Foundation for Entrepreneurial Research as one of the most dynamically developing companies in the Central and Eastern Europe region.

|People in higher education institutions are increasingly looking at ways of building rich online communities to improve the experience of students and faculty. Such environments can increase the feeling of community, facilitate new connections between people on the campus, better integrate distance learners, and enhance institutional visibility, among other benefits. There are different ways of approaching this challenge, however, and we argue that, to be genuinely successful, a project must take an individual-centered approach and incorporate as much diversity as possible by being open to all and open-ended from the outset, rather than by starting with specific academic or institutional goals or with a core niche where the initiative is perceived to be more likely to get traction. We describe how the Campus Commons, an inter-institutional initiative currently underway on Prince Edward Island, has achieved success by adhering to this principle.
