I can't use rsync_pdb and update_BLASTDB on my Linux machine, because they don't get past our web proxy. Is there anything I can do to fix this?
You can set the environment variable
RSYNC_PROXY to the
hostname:port pair that points to your web proxy. You should then be able to run these utilities. If you still have trouble, you can specify the port with the
-p port option when you run the utilities.
Contact your IT staff to ensure that access to port 873 is enabled in the web proxy configuration as required by the rsync protocol. As a test of your
RSYNC_PROXY setting and the web proxy configuration, the command
should return a very short listing of databases available for rsync to copy. If this command still gives you an error, please contact Technical Support at firstname.lastname@example.com.
rsync --port=80 prime.schrodinger.com::
Some web proxies require some form of authentication: basic, digest, or LDAP, each set up on a different port number. These may require that RSYNC_PROXY be set in the form
proxy-login:proxy-password@proxy-host:proxy-port. If one form of authentication does not work, check that you have the correct port number, or try another form.

Join curator Rafia Mirza as she leads a tour of the summer Special Collections "Texas 'Identity' Politics: 1900 - present" exhibit.
The exhibit asks "What is politics and can everything be considered political?" It also makes the argument that every person has multiple axes of identity: gender, sexual orientation, religion, race/ethnicity, political affiliation, etc. We also have more changeable and/or ephemeral identities such as student, parent, family member, and professional. The exhibit focuses on political identities in Texas from 1900 to the present and the ways in which politics have become intertwined with our identities. The word politics, like propaganda, often has negative connotations, but it's really just a descriptive term that can be fraught with complexity and emotion.

ZF-101: Zend_View_Abstract::_loadClass() doesn't work with classes on the include path (TRAC#99)
Zend_View_Abstract::_loadClass() calls is_readable() to find out if the particular file exists on the path.
This causes problems when you want to have a set of common view helpers for multiple projects. In my case, I use a directory called Akrabat/View/Helper as part of a tree that mirrors the ZF tree for consistency.)
My preference would be to change
if (is_readable($dir . $file)) {
if (Zend::isReadable($dir . $file)) {
to solve this problem.
Suggested patch attached.
05/28/06 16:18:19: Modified by email@example.com
* attachment Zend_View_Abstract.patch added.
Suggested patch v1
Rather than make the class dependant on Zend.php how about changing...
if (is_readable($dir . $file)) { include $dir . $file;
if (include $dir . $file) {
...which would achieve much the same result
Forget my suggestion...
if (include $dir . $file) {
...as this produces warnings as each _path stack is looped over
Mind looking at this for 0.2.0?
One way is explode the path and then loop through it doing a Zend::isReadable() for each path with the requested file, that is somewhat slow in my eyes, but it's the only solution I see for making this work.
Fixed in 1428
Further analysis shows that the original behaviour was intentional. addScriptPath() can be used at any point to add additional view script paths to the view object. The reporter need only have done the following:
Behaviour was intentional, and a way to do as the reporter desired already existed in the code.

The Goodman Family of Marvel Comics fame
So who are the 1940s Goodmans? Ah, here's the answer - to at least some - of your questions.
Abraham Goodman (c1913- ) brother of Martin Goodman ; manging editor of Marvel Comics from 1939-c1948, then took over the Humorama line up to around the end.
business manager of at least Snap Magazine in 1940
Arthur Goodman (c1918- ) youngest brother of Martin Goodman;; in charge of colonists 1941-1945;
editor of Goodman's Crossword Puzzle Books
Chip Goodman (Charles) son of Martin Goodman, in charge of the 1970s Atlas comics. Later publisher of Swank.
David Goodman (C1914- ) co-owner of Goodman company in 1952; Lt. in World War 2
Publisher and owner of Snap Magazine in 1940
Evelyn Goodman - no kin, wrote for DC and Classics Illustrated
Jean Goodman (nee Jean Davis) married Martin Goodman, listed as co-owner 1952
listed as editor 1944-1947; credited to text stories in 1946-1947; mother of Chip; related to Stan Lee and Larry Lieber
Martin Goodman (c1909 -1992 ) 7th child, but first boy in his family; worked for Eastern Distribution from
1927-1931 (Paul Sampliner, later co-founder of IND and DC comics); magazine publisher from 1931-
mid 1970s, first with Louis Silberkleit (later of Columbia and MLJ / Archie) and most notably a 40 year run as owner and publisher of Magazine Management and Marvel Comics.
"Martin" was not his birth name.
Sidney "Charles" Goodman (c1916- 1937) editor for Goodman
editor of Best Sports 1937, Complete Sorts 1937, Two-Gun Western 1937 -1938, Western Novelets 1936
There are beliefs that one or two of Martin Goodman's 7 sisters married someone that Martin put to work.
but this isn't substantiated - yet. Obviously a close family.
Speculation is that Robert Solomon was Goodman's brother-in-law, and Stan Lee's Uncle.
Robert Erisman (1908-1995) does not appear to be married to a Goodman sister, he is (some say)
married to Adele Goodman.

"It was in my family really. My brother was in it and he started when he was about 17 or 18 or whatever. Also my uncle was in it and a cousin of ours owned the company. At that time it was called Timely Comics and he owned it, Martin Goodman. I was just a kid and kids liked comics at that time. We didn't have television then and so there were newspaper comics and the comic books. I used to like to draw and copy them and so on. I remember once, and I don't know when it was, but my uncle, Rob Solomon, took me down to Timely Comics."
Robert Solomon, Stan and Larry's uncle, was business manager at Timely. Goodman the owner, is the referred to cousin.
I should do an update I guess. Jean Davis Goodman was the actual cousin. Martin Goodman was the cousin by marriage.ReplyDelete
Most comments this (and other) blogs get are by spammers. Those guys are way way talkative. I currently use word verification to slow them down. Signing a name, even a fake name, helps your chances.

A circumbinary planet in orbit around the short-period white dwarf eclipsing binary RR Cae

By using six newly determined mid-eclipse times together with those collected from the literature, we have found that the observed minus calculated (O−C) curve of RR Cae shows a cyclic change with a period of 11.9 yr and an amplitude of 14.3 s while it undergoes an upward parabolic variation [revealing a long-term period increase at a rate of ]. The cyclic change was analysed for the light-travel-time effect that arises from the gravitational influence of a third companion. The mass of the third body was determined to be M3sin i′= 4.2(± 0.4) MJup, suggesting that it is a circumbinary giant planet when its orbital inclination is larger than 176. The orbital separation of the circumbinary planet from the central eclipsing binary is about 5.3(± 0.6) au. The period increase is opposite to the changes caused by angular momentum loss via magnetic braking or/and gravitational radiation; and it cannot be explained by the mass transfer between both components because of its detached configuration. These indicate that the observed upward parabolic change is only a part of a long-period (longer than 26.3 yr) cyclic variation, which may reveal the presence of another giant circumbinary planet in a wide orbit.

"Who was ultimately responsible for the shooting in the scene we just watched? Whose fault was it?" our young male scholars were asked about the documentary we had just watched at the mentoring program Higher Achievement.
The film was about Benjamin Wilson, the legendary high school basketball player whose life was tragically cut short in a chance altercation in the fall of 1984. At our "community meeting" phase of the evening, the scholars were given a discussion/workshop about life skills and navigating conflicts with peers which was led by me.
My most recent series of articles here on examiner, took an in depth look at some of the lessons learned during my brief stint playing basketball in high school and the life skills those experiences (not all positive) instilled in me. While it's important to learn from our own life experiences, a lot that can be learned from the lives of others.
In 2013, ESPN produced a documentary titled Benji, as part of their 30 for 30 series. The documentary chronicled Benjamin Wilson's meteoric rise to become the number one rated high school basketball player America in 1984. Wilson was on his way to playing big time division one college basketball, and most likely professional basketball afterwards.
In a chance encounter following an accidental collision on the sidewalk, Ben Wilson found himself in a war of words with another youth named Billy Moore, a member of the Gangster Disciples who happened to be carrying a gun. After the situation escalated, Wilson was shot twice, and suffered internal hemorrhaging. He could have potentially survived his gunshot wounds, but he was taken to a hospital without a trauma center and thus waited hours before receiving surgery. By the time he did get surgery, it was too late.
While Ben Wilson's death was tragic, the story of what actually happened as depicted by directors Coodie Simmons and Chike Ozah provides very important lessons for young people.
After two of our scholars at Higher Achievement got into an altercation which ended with a punch being thrown (probably inevitable for some middle school students), the idea came to me to use Ben Wilson's documentary as a teaching tool to talk to the scholars about navigating conflicts, and just how easy situations can spin out of control with unintended and permanent consequences.
What is clear after watching the story, and what was pointed out to the scholars was that both youths (Benji and Billy) had the chance to turn away from the conflict before any shots were fired, though each unfortunately continued to escalate it.
Regarding the question at the beginning of this article, many of the scholars replied, "It was Ben's fault," after which another mentor and myself pointed out to the group that Billy was at fault of having the gun on him, and that he also had the choice to not shoot Wilson who while taller, was unarmed.
Prior to showing the documentary, several key words and concepts were shared and discussed with the scholars including:
• Being life smart and street smart
• Reconciliation
• Understanding that life decision have ramifications and consequences
• Knowing what it means to instigate and provoke others
• Having foresight in life
• Making wise life decisions no matter what career path is pursued
"I'm not telling you not to defend yourselves if you have to," were my final words for the scholars. "I just want you to be aware that you have choices in some of these situations and to be successful, you will have to have the foresight to navigate through situations like those in the video. Lastly, in most self-defense classes, most instructors tell you that violence should be the last option and they say that for a reason."
Unfortunately there wasn't time enough for the scholars to hear the powerful words of Ben Wilson's older brother Curtis Glenn who somberly said, "I just wish that he could have looked the other way but I told him he had to be a man. He knew that I was a man and wanted to be a lot like me, and I wish he hadn't tried to be like me that day."

In November of 2010, legendary journalist Ted Koppel wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post ostracizing the new "advocacy media" for killing genuine news. He pointed out that we are now fed our "news" by ideological sources ranging from Rachel Maddow and Chris Matthews, to Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity, sources that "hold up the twin pillars of political partisanship and who are encouraged to do so by their parent organizations because their brand of analysis and commentary is highly profitable."
Four years later, our country is more divided than ever, the left blaming the GOP for moving farther to the right while the right claims the Obama administration has a socialist agenda. Reaching across the aisle and compromising, whether right or wrong on a given issue, are seemingly out of fashion.
A couple of years after his WaPo piece, Koppel expanded on his story in a special report for NBC News and included the growing number of what Bill O'Reilly refers to as "assassins," i.e. those who push an ideological agenda so hard they have to smash their enemies, seemingly to the delight of a sycophant audience.
With the advent of bomb throwers such as Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage and Ed Schultz, the bar for civility seems to have reached a possibly irreparable low but the dangers are somehow less apparent to the millions in the audience of so many hosts who now preach to a choir that prefers to hear a slanted version of the truth. Koppel added, "when our accountants, bankers and lawyers, our doctors and our politicians tell us only what we want to hear, despite hard evidence to the contrary, we are headed for disaster."
And indeed we are, when our political differences make us not just people who want basically the same things but disagree on the methods, but rather enemies with fundamentally different visions for America. What would have seemed brash and absurd accusations not so long ago, the idea that Republicans want to take us back to the 1950's and get women back in the kitchen, or that Democrats want to turn the nation into a socialist secular utopia, are now commonly accepted as truth by the faithful.
Koppel referred to this as the "marketing of fear" and clearly the implications have not fully set in. While many on the left don't believe in "trickle down" economics, the psychology is hard to deny. Inculcation is a proven method of indoctrination. It's become clear that while the purveyors of cable news and talk radio see dollar signs and sell fear, someone has to buy it. In effect, the marketing has been as effective as any advertising campaign. Unfortunately, the competitors are a lot more contentious and the customers are more ideologically at odds than you'd find between offerings of competing products, even the most virulent Mac vs. PC debates.
When fear is the commodity, those who buy in are left with a need to adopt the narrative themselves. Truth is no longer the bottom line; pushing a partisan agenda is. At that point finding common ground takes a back seat to supporting the lesser of two evils or increasingly, convincing yourself that only your side is really looking out for you, looking out for the little guy or whatever your preferred tenet is while the other side is not only misguided but exclusively less honest, more selfish and inherently evil.
Social media is filled with memes that parrot judgments on complicated issues culled into a picture with a few words, just enough to stir the pot and incite thousands to pass the message along without any inclination to do any fact-checking.
It's only when you realize, after hearing pundits who never take issue with their side, short of Republicans not being conservative enough or Democrats not being liberal enough, that you've already been in conversations with the disciples.
"I know both parties are bought and paid for but at least the Democrats do some good."
"I'm not at all happy with the GOP but anything is better than another four years of Obama."
...or the best of all:
"Why should I criticize my side and risk damaging them when the other guys are so much worse?"
Apparently we are now so afraid of the other guys that we're inclined not to admit the truth about the flaws in our team and rather, defend them without reservation. Has it occurred to the average citizen what it means when the pundits they worship practice the same selective judgment and censorship?
We elect leaders to lead and that starts with helping people find common ground. Our leaders should be adept and doing so and they are nothing of the kind. Perhaps part of that is that they too, have become afraid – not just afraid they will not be reelected, which is nothing new, but also afraid that if they don't placate the advocacy media then they too will be "assassinated," just as radio host Mark Levin dealt with David Dewhurst, sending Ted Cruz to the U.S. Senate.
The media is not likely to change, particularly when demagoguery has become so profitable. Journalists have been drowned out by businessmen who see riches in mercurial commentary and sadly, the public drinks it up. It will be incumbent on new leadership to find a message compelling enough to convince people that we have more in common than we realize. It will need to be someone who can illustrate that we don't have to keep putting Band-Aids on things that are broken. Most importantly it will need to be a person who can illustrate how much we actually agree on and propose solutions that build bridges.
Why this has been so difficult seems a mystery until you realize that it hasn't yet been profitable to find consensus. Special interests certainly don't pay for it. Is there a personality on the air or in politics who can remind us that none of us likes such an absurdly complicated tax code, no one supports unwanted pregnancy and we all agree that people who have worked hard all their lives should be able to retire without struggling to support themselves?
Your fans-in-waiting sit in eager anticipation.

I'm just curious that there are modern systems out there that default to something other than UTF-8. I've had a person block for an entire day on the multiple locations that a mysql system can have different encoding. Very frustrating.
Is there any good reason not to use utf-8 as a default (and storage space seems like not a good reason)? Not trying to be argumentitive, just curious.

Why Do Baby Boomers Love Solar?
From Margaret Everton on December 13, 1901 in General Remodel
You could say baby boomers have been through a lot. They were politically and communally active during the 1960's. They struggled through the gas crisis in the 1970's. They watched their pensions grow through the end of the last millennium, only to see many get stripped away as the economy falls here in the first decade of the new millennium. Baby boomers have also been party to the slow but steady rise of global warming. Needless to say, baby boomers are a very socially and environmentally conscious generation; and it shows.
According to a survey by AARP and Focalyst, 70% of baby boomers see it as their duty to make the world a better place. Typically, boomers express this overwhelming concern with their wallets. These spending habits are not limited to organic breads, laundry detergent, and other household items. Baby boomers are spending their money on larger projects like green building and solar power. According to a survey by Shea Homes, a national leader in active lifestyle communities, boomers rate solar as number one on their list of green priorities.
Why this love for solar? The answer is evident. Baby boomers have grown up as the environment has grown down, so to speak. It has primarily been their generation that has taken the reigns and led the environmental movement through its unpopular years until now, when green issues are at or near the top of nearly every politician's agenda.
Not only that, but baby boomers have grown up with the solar industry as well. They remember the energy crisis of the 1970's when solar power first took off as an alternative to ebbing oil supplies. And while solar power may have slipped beneath the radar for a few decades, boomers did not forget. And now, with a renewed and more permanent fuel shortage in place, solar is back, stronger than ever and baby boomers are running right back into its arms.
For retiring baby boomers, solar power just makes good sense. Many baby boomers see a failing system. Pensions, IRAs, 401k and social security are struggling to stay afloat as economic bubbles all over the world burst. In other words, security is a big issue for baby boomers. The likelihood, for baby boomers and even more so for the generations that follow, that the government or corporations are going to take care of retirees grows slimmer and slimmer. Combine this fact with rising energy costs and a sense of social responsibility and you have a good reason why baby boomers like solar so much.
Finally, I speculate that there is one reason that trumps them all: grandchildren. A common mantra for the environmental movement has been to leave a positive, healthy legacy for generations to come. Right now baby boomers are watching their kids have kids, which only strengthens their convictions for a clean environment. For many in the younger generations, their forbears' lesson and legacy of responsibility is rubbing off rather well.

American Idol Team: We "Support" Nicki Minaj & Mariah Carey Amid Feud Frenzy
Amid escalating tension between judges Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey, "American Idol" producers insist things are going well and that no one is on the chopping block.
As Gossip Cop reported, Carey told Barbara Walters that Minaj threatened to shoot her, didn't "feel comfortable emotionally," and planned to bring in additional security for her "Idol" duties.
Minaj strongly denied the gun threat allegations on Twitter.
Late Friday, the team behind the hit singing competition released a statement indicating that no changes are planned despite the media firestorm.
"This is one of the best, most passionate, dynamic and invested judging panels we've ever had. We love and support all of the judges and the fantastic work they are doing, and we can't imagine a better group to find the next American Idol," reads the statement.
It continues, "Despite all the accusations and media speculation — much of which is inaccurate — production is going extremely well today and the judges are focused on finding the best talent here in Baton Rouge."
The show is set to debut in January.

Bethenny's Back!
She Left Real Housewives to Become a Real Housewife, but the Reality Star Says Life Is Crazier Than Ever
Surviving, and thriving, during the past hectic 12 months has also been quite an effort for the famously frank reality star, 40. Frankel left The Real Housewives of New York City and launched her own reality spinoff-now called Bethenny Ever After, which just began season 2 on Bravo-while juggling a new marriage (she and Hoppy wed last March) and a new baby girl (Bryn, 10 months). Through it all, "the biggest struggle for me is to have a successful relationship," she says. "I'm annoying to be around, and he isn't Mr. Perfect. But we love each other."
She and Hoppy, 39, a sales exec, met in 2008 just as her career was taking off with Housewives. "You get married, and you're from two different worlds," she says. "You have to figure out how to come together." That means finding a balance between her booming career and a peaceful family life. "I was always looking for someone to take care of me," she admits of her previous plans for a Leave It to Beaver sort of marriage. "But now that I can take care of myself, it messes with everyone's head a bit. It feels awkward."
But Hoppy gives her something that money can't buy: unconditional support. "Jason says being taken care of isn't financial; it's emotional," Frankel says. Adds her longtime friend, Sarah Lacharlotte: "She trusts him. She is able to let her defenses down with him."
In fact, his unhappiness with the escalating craziness of the Housewives last year helped Frankel realize it was time to leave the show. "He didn't want anything to do with [Housewives], and I felt embarrassed," says Frankel, who still hasn't spoken to her Housewives BFF-gone-bad Jill Zarin since their fallout last season. "It's like a high school I'm happy to have left."
But instead of taking some much needed time off last fall, Frankel signed on for ABC's reality ice-skating competition Skating with the Stars, which required hitting the rink for four hours a day and flying to L.A. each week-all while shooting Bethenny Ever After. "I was waking at 6 and coming back a zombie," she says. "I was painfully thin [she dropped to 111 lbs. from her usual weight of 117], and I was dragging my family with me. It was a selfish act ... but [once I signed up] I had to follow through."
But for how much longer? Frankel can envision a day when reality cameras are out of her life for good: "It is certainly not my goal that this is going to last forever," she says. "I'm tired." She also wants to savor every moment with Bryn. "I have an addiction to being with her," says Frankel, adding that she and Hoppy hope to give her a sibling. "We got pregnant pretty easily the first time, but I don't know if we will be as lucky this time. We'll have to see what's in store for us."

My iPhone is connected via USB to my Ubuntu desktop via a dock. How do I configure it so that when I dock my phone the screen is unlocked and when removing it it locks it?
Found an excellent script here courtesy of Evan Boldt on how to do this. Thanks Evan!
First find out the id of your device by using lsusb
The create a script under your home dir (let's use /home/me/iPhoneLock.sh for this example) that looks sort of like this:
Next, edit your crontab:
Finally configure it so that it runs every minute:
Note of warning though: Of course this means that anyone with your phone will be able to unlock your screen. A nice improvement would be to only unlock your screen if your phone was unlocked.
This of course is applicable to any usb device.
The script is licensed under the CC-GNU GPL version 2.0 or later.
even simpler script
use lsusb to get the device id of the usb device you want to use as your "key" and replace it in this script (called checkKey.sh)
then just cron this to run every few minutes... this way it will start up again if it stops for some reason.... the script should run continuously, but will exit if cron tries to run a second copy. To have cron affect a GUI app, like the screen saver, you have to tell it which display to use, so put this in your crontab (obviously set the path properly)

Mid-Atlantic suburbs can expect an early spring thanks to the heat of the big city
Staff quoted: Andrew Elmore
If you've been thinking our world is more green than frozen these days, you're right. A recent study has found that spring is indeed arriving earlier – and autumn later – in the suburbs of Baltimore and Washington, D.C. The reason? The urban landscape traps heat in the summer and holds it throughout the winter, triggering leaves to turn green earlier in the spring and to stay green later into autumn. The result is a new, extended growing season.

The scenic small town of Wimberley, Texas (pop. 2625) may be best known for its legendary swimming hole, but its artistic community is gaining ground on the natural beauty of what was once a trading post and later a gristmill. Just 38 miles southwest of Austin, it's fitting that artists, artisans, sculptors, writers, poets--all are welcome here to create in a laid-back atmosphere where "to each his own" is a kind of unwritten philosophy. It's this easygoing ambiance that singer/songwriter/musician Amanda Mora says gives her her greatest inspiration. Plus, it's home.
"I grew up here," says Mora. "I actually live in a cabin on my family's land, the same piece of land I was literally born on. It's so sweet and I have a sweet relationship with my family." Mora comes by her musical leanings naturally, the daughter of what she describes as her "hippie" musician mother Jill Jones of musical trio 3 Hand High and a "really amazing songwriter" father, along with a musical family legacy that goes back generations. She recalls an idyllic childhood, "like an Indian princess running around creeks and rivers and springs in Wimberley."
These days Mora is still running around, but her travels are taking her much farther than Wimberley. In 2010, she and musician partner and cellist Mollie Rose Fletcher, along with a band of up to 19 musicians, singers, and crew, toured Europe in what has to be one of the most eco-conscious and environmentally friendly tours ever. "The whole approach was, we're musicians concerned about environmental and social issues, but we found that the lifestyle of musicians has a really huge carbon footprint. We're guzzling gas, eating packaged food, and using a lot of things that are hard on the environment. So we wanted to change the touring musician paradigm to make it part of the environmental movement as well."
And change it they did--to the tune of carrying only what they could fit on their backs and cargo bikes. Seriously. Bikes. Thirty miles a day, for 6000 miles total. "We started in England, then to the Netherlands, Austria, Germany, the Czech Republic, Romania, Italy, and France. "We had a lot of support," she says, from bicycle advocacy groups in Europe that provide low cost bicycles to the community. "It's a really beautiful connection between music and bicycles. They both empower people to create on their own." Even the fans got into the act: Audience members pedaled stationery bikes to power the generators for the performances.
Wimberley is where her heart is, but Mora, Fletcher and the group go back on the road in the fall, to Ireland, Holland, France and Germany. No bikes this time, she says, but still with the goal to "make it as eco-friendly as we can." Then Mora and musicians go back into the studio this fall for her third album. Her first two are "The Ribbon" and the acclaimed "Awaiting the Sound."
As if singing, songwriting, performing, touring, biking, engineering, producing and recording weren't enough to keep a Texas Hill Country artist busy, Mora and her mother run a quaint, quirky store in Wimberley called By the Bridge. "We sell a little bit of everything," says Mora. "A few lines from local artisans who do jewelry and other accessories. We look for fun, functional antiques instead of the stuffy old sit-on-the-shelf things." Many come just to hang out "and hear what music we have playing," says Mora, laughing. "I can't tell you the number of times I've written the name of a song on a sales receipt."

It sure is easy for politicians to make promises. It just ain't easy to fullfill them. The story below is about the Pennsylvnia state budget. It is the same story across all states. Politicians sign legislation giving out goodies to get re-elected. The time bomb doesn't explode for a decade or more, after the slimy politician is running the Department of Homeland Security or being paid as an Obama shill on MSNBC. The lack of courage, fortitude, honesty and intelligence extends across both parties. Tom Ridge signed legislation in 2001 that provided gold plated pension benefits to government workers and the slimy politicians that voted for the legislation. Ed Rendell further extended and increased these benefit promises. You can see from this chart that PA is not even the worst offender.
A recent study estimated that the unfunded pension liabilities for state government workers exceeds $4 trillion. In classic government fashion, Governor Corbett of PA is being branded a scrooge for drastically cutting spending and impoverishing school districts across the state. That is humorous since this year's budget is $27.3 billion and next year's budget will be $27.7. Only in this land of delusions could a $400 million increase be described as horrific cutbacks in government spending. There is never a mention about the fact that every school district in the state went on a spending spree in the mid-2000s because the real estate taxes from the housing boom were rolling in like waves on the ocean. Well the waves have receded from the shore and a Tsunami of unfunded promises are about to wash over the delusional morons who spent all the money and made all the promises to government employees.
The wailing and grinding of teeth over this year's budget is laughable when you consider what is coming. The taxpayers must foot a $1.2 pension expense for the government drones this year, or 4.3% of the state spending. These pension payments are on automatic pilot. In 2016, the taxpayers of PA will be on the hook for $6 billion of pension expense, or approximately 20% of the state spending. This is called math. Either the taxpayers of PA will have to pay a whole lot more in taxes or drastic spending cuts will need to occur in other parts of the budget. There are 5.2 million households in PA. Each would have to pay over $900 more per year in taxes to pay for the pension promises made to government union drones. We all know that the FSA in Philly and Pittsburgh don't pay taxes, so the average hard working middle class schmuck would have to ante up over $1,200 more per year to satisfy the insatiable appetite of government union workers.
This tapeworm was introduced into the digestive system of Pennsylvania by a Republican governor in 2001. He's rich. He earns money for speaking engagements. He started our beloved DHS. This brilliant guy even invented our color coded terrorist warning system. We are now at Shit Your Pants Yellow alert. By 2016 we'll be at Commit Suicide Red.
Will any politicians have the guts to confront the government unions and kill this pension parasite before it kills us all? I doubt it. There are elections to be won and promises to be made. That tapeworm looks harmless.
Funding Pa. pensions is 'tapeworm' in budget talks
Wednesday, June 6,2012
It's crunch time in Harrisburg. In other words, it's budget time.
As school districts across the state reel from the effects of an austere spending plan put forth by Gov. Tom Corbett, Republicans in the state Senate have created their own budget and restored many of the cuts proposed by their fellow Republican governor. The state House is expected to vote on that version this week, possibly as early as today. Then both sides likely will hammer out a final version with the governor.
Here's the good news: Some education funding is likely to be restored, in particular when it comes to higher education.
Here's the bad news: It won't necessarily solve the fiscal woes afflicting school districts.
Now here's the really grim news: None of this even addresses the elephant in the room, the biggest budget crisis in the state.
That, of course, would be the ocean of red ink inundating the state's two large public employee pensions, those covering the bulk of state government workers and public school teachers.
This year the state's on the hook for $1.2 billion in pension payments. That increases to $1.6 billion next year and an astronomical $6 billion by fiscal year 2016-17.
Perhaps that is why Corbett is reluctant to start restoring money to the budget. He refers to the pension crisis as "the tapeworm" in state budget talks.
The pension crisis has been exacerbated by several factors. First, while enjoying a bullish ride on Wall Street for years, the state and districts looked at more rosy predictions and cut their contributions to the fund. Then the market tanked.
Also crucial was a deal cut by former Gov. Tom Ridge back in 2001 that boosted the payouts for pols and teachers while cutting taxpayer contributions.
Now the bill is coming due, and it's a whopper. It won't solve the current dilemma, but some denizens of Harrisburg with an eye on the future are offering an important change.
State Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi, R-9 of Chester, is proposing legislation that would derail this gravy train for all future public employees. Instead of the defined benefit plan those workers now enjoy, they would instead join the rest of us in a defined-contribution plan, similar to a 401(k).
It's a common-sense move that is long overdue. Sure, it would be easy to harpoon Pileggi and several other Republicans for cutting someone else's retirement benefits while theirs remains intact. It won't change the fact that the current system is unsustainable.
More importantly, it does not address how the state is going to fund its current pension woes.
What almost no one in Harrisburg is willing to say is the very real possibility of someone actually proclaiming what many are thinking – that as currently constructed the system, will not be able to pay out what was promised.
One possible solution would be to reconfigure pensions to their pre-2001 levels. That no doubt would be met with catcalls from those approaching retirement.
The move to get public employees out of defined-benefit plans is a start. But it must be accompanied by a solution to the more immediate problem — that $6 billion tab lurking in the distance.
One thing we're sure of. This tapeworm is hungry. And it's not going away.

Confused In The Kitchen? Share A Photo, Get Some Help
We've all got those strange food items in the kitchen that either bewilder or bore us: A strange can of beans bought in a pre-storm panic. Something in another language, gifted as a souvenir. Bulk items purchased for an ambitious recipe, used exactly once.
And usually, those things just sit there ... forever. But what if you could ask a bunch of people, "Hey, what do I do with this?"
NPR's Morning Edition just launched a project called Cook Your Cupboard to help with that. It's simple: Post a photo of what has you stumped. Then get (and give!) advice in the comments.
Every few weeks we'll ask for something different (like freezer items, spices, surplus produce). But the first round is general: Just pick any three questionable things in your kitchen.
Need inspiration? Morning Edition's David Greene found these weird things: Red and white popcorn kernels, apricot oil from Vienna and never-opened blackberry jam. And the suggestions are already rolling in.
We hope you can help each other out of your kitchen conundrums. And as a bonus, every few weeks we'll also bring one participant on-air — to get expert advice from a chef. First up is Nigella Lawson. We think she can make anything (even watermelon preserves) sound delicious.

Jameel McCline eyes weak division and wants a shot
Slowly, surely, steadily, heavyweight Jameel McCline is climbing the rankings of the major sanctioning bodies (#10 WBO and top-15 in the WBC/IBF) and is eager to take the next step along the comeback trail by taking on one of the division's champions or, failing that, one of the top-rated contenders.
"Last month, I showed everyone I'm back and better than ever,� McCline insists. "Now that I've got your attention again, I'm sending out a message to all the other heavyweights: Jameel McCline wants to fight you. I am challenging any of the champions or any top-rated heavyweight in the world. I'll fight anyone, anywhere. I want to be back on top and I don't fear any of these guys.�
McCline (38-6-3, 23 KOs) isn't finished with what he started at the late age of 26, and his July 21 decision over once-beaten Terry Smith on ESPN2's Friday Night Fights indicates there's still a lot of fight left in the big man.
With six consecutive victories under his belt, the 6'6� slugger says he's ready to reposition himself among the top-ten heavyweights "by staying busy and rededicating myself to boxing,� he says. "I'm in the shape of my life and I'm ready to take out whoever I have to. When I'm in top physical and mental condition, there's not a heavyweight in the world who can hang with me. I dare any top heavyweight in the world to get in the ring. You're going to get hurt, Big Time!� Read more at the BLOG

The Situation:
Over the years the Camellia Trail developed swale at a low point. This occurred where the
underlying soil was spongy. Swale had increased to the point that the trail was under water during short rainstorms. Worse, the trail remained flooded for a long time after the rain was over.
To prevent this the trail must be slightly higher than the surrounding ground so it will drain properly.
Additionally, the trail was unsightly, even when dry, because the contour had become irregular.
The Solution:
The solution was to remove the surface bark, dig out the spongy organic material, back fill with aggregate and replace the bark.
The surface level was built up to the point that it is now above the water level likely to occur in
a severe rain episode.
In this picture, the aggregate has been put down and leveled, but has not yet been compacted.
Note that you can see boot prints in the aggregate.
Compacting the Aggregate:
The aggregate is compacted with a motorized plate compactor. This is a critical step because,
if the surface is not compacted, the trail will breakdown prematurely.
Typically several passes with the compactor are required to properly compact the aggregate.
Note that with properly compacted aggregate, the gardener's boot leaves no impression in the surface.
The Results:
After the aggregate has been compacted, a layer of bark is added. The bark is carefully raked to cover the aggregate.
The result is a good looking trail that is a pleasure to walk on, rain or shine.
The Team:
Ken Little
Diann Eckler

GC Ministry » Christian Living » God Cares for You
God Cares for You
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding;Prov 3:5 NKJV
Being a parent is a perfect job to remind anyone of the simplest concepts of the Christian walk. Take one of the most recent issues that my family and I dealt with.
My daughter had used mommy's craft scissors for an art project. She had permission and is very good with them. The problem came when she had a small accident. She had managed to get a small cut on her right thumb. It wasn't a very big cut and would have been fine had we known about it. Instead, fearing trouble, she did her best to hide this from her mother and I. This is where her problems started. She finally reported it to us about a week later. By this time, her finger had become infected and was in need of professional care.
This started me to think about how we as children of God are guilty of some of the same behavior. We make mistakes and "hide" from God. Allow me to share some of those thoughts with you today.
I. We Can Never Hide From God
Is there anyplace I can go to avoid your Spirit? to be out of your sight? If I climb to the sky, you're there! If I go underground, you're there! If I flew on morning's wings to the far western horizon, You'd find me in a minute— you're already there waiting! Then I said to myself, "Oh, he even sees me in the dark! At night I'm immersed in the light!" It's a fact: darkness isn't dark to you; night and day, darkness and light, they're all the same to you. Psalms 139:7-12 MSG
The psalmist makes it very clear here that it is impossible to escape God. God is everywhere . We can never escape His presence. It would be easier to just admit what we have done and avoid all the guilt and shame that separates us from God's presence. While God knows about it anyway, our hiding, causes us lose touch with Him. We must never forget that God cares for you and I very deeply.
II. God Wants To Help Us In Times of Trouble.
God is not looking for ways to smack us down dead. On the contrary, God is looking for ways to bring us into a closer relationship with himself. That was the point of Christ coming as a man. God cares for you so very much that He would sacrifice everything for you.
He wants you to bring your troubles to Him. He is our closest friend and confident. He is there for you God cares for you more than you may even realize.
III. We can Always Trust Him
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Jeremiah 29:11 KJV
God always wants what is best for us. Just like little kids, we may not always agree because it takes away from our perceived fun. What child wants to go to be at a reasonable time. Yet, if he doesn't, then he is weak and grouchy the next day. We can see beyond the now into tomorrow for the child. God does the same for us as well. He can see beyond our present into our past and future. His knowledge is not restricted to the confines of time. We can always trust God. You can know that God cares for you today and always.
I would like to hear from you on some examples of where you found out the hard way it is better to go to God first than solve yourself. What have you experienced?

Click here to read the full 2014 film roster.
Other events of note include the Fantastic Debates, in which film industry figureheads will spar off both verbally and physically. Matt Mason, Chief Content Officer for BitTorrent, Inc. is a lead challenger this year. He'll take his debate on whether file sharing is a creative tool or content thievery from podium to boxing ring. He's already filmed a challenge on YouTube.
"This is the first Fantastic Debate in which we have a debater / fighter issuing an open challenge to anyone willing to step into the ring. It's a bold move and one I'm happy not to take on: Matt Mason can fight," noted Tim League, CEO and founder of Alamo Drafthouse & Fantastic Fest. "On the film front, we're really excited to bring Keanu back and welcome Dan Gilroy to Fantastic Fest for the first time with his stunning directorial debut."
Fantastic Fest will be hosted at the newly reopened Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar location, which boasts a lavish makeover of both the cinema and the accompanying restaurant/karaoke bar, The Highball.
The festival runs September 18-25. You can keep track of the full events listing and information on badge purchasing via the official Fantastic Fest website.

Is there a way to get the bulb mode on the D90 to open the shutter when I press the shutter release button, and to close it again when I press the button for the second time, rather than having to hold the button down ?
Thank you
If you get the Nikon MC-DC2 cable release, the button can be locked in place until you release it. For bulb exposures, I'd recommend a cable release to avoid shake and blurring in your result anyways, you're almost assured to do that with your hand on the camera directly.
Wireless one is good too.
When i bought it, it was actually cheaper than the wired one. Gotta aim it directly at the camera front though.
