Crash involving paving roller injures 3
EAST MONTPELIER Three people were injured when a paving roller being towed by a truck crossed the center line Friday on Route 2 and collided with a third vehicle, according to Vermont State Police.
The crash shortly after 4 p.m. left both the roller and the vehicle it hit overturned, and backed up late-afternoon traffic.
A helicopter from Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center hovered overhead and landed in a field near the crash scene to pick up Tiffany Simard, 27, of St. Johnsbury, who police said suffered a severe leg injury.
The driver of the paving roller, Jessie Snelling, 30, of Westminster Station, had a head injury, police said. The roller and the vehicle it struck, a Dodge Durango driven by Christopher Mooney, 37, of Waterford, overturned some distance apart.
Police said Simard was a passenger in the Durango, which they described as totaled, with heavy damage to the drivers side rear and the undercarriage.
Mooney had a cut on his forearm, according to state police. He and Snelling were being treated Friday evening at Central Vermont Medical Center, authorities said.
According to Vermont State Police, the crash happened when the paving roller was being towed west by a Chevrolet truck driven by Darrin Tyminski, 48, of Cornish, New Hampshire. The truck wasnt damaged, and its driver wasnt injured.
Neither Mooney nor Snelling was wearing a seat belt, police said; it wasnt known whether Simard wore one.
Ambulances and firetrucks from several towns went to the scene, and firefighters helped direct traffic, which began moving again shortly after 5 p.m.
The news release Friday evening from the Middlesex barracks said Simard was being treated at Dartmouth-Hitchcock.MORE IN This Just InPHILADELPHIA Many delegates from Vermont arrived at the Democratic National Convention this...

The Christmas food and gift packages were prepared by the
city's main food banks and distributed by social agencies as
"a contribution to a Christmas meal for Dunedin families in
need", St Vincent de Paul manager Ken Fahey said.
Volunteers and social agency representatives spent the day on
Monday sorting and packaging goods, which were distributed on
Tuesday and Wednesday.
The annual Christmas Foodbank programme has been running for
about 10 years, with the aim of easing the stress of
Christmas for families.
"Things are tough out there for many people and Christmas can
add to the pressure," Mr Fahey said.
Most of the families that received the Christmas parcels were
clients of social agencies.
"We know there are many more families out there in need but
we have to stay within the resources we have," he said.
The city's foodbanks are continuing their regular work.
Stocks were boosted by the recent Community Can Drive, in
which emergency services and volunteers collected food from
Dunedin households.
"The can drive is a tremendous boost to us," Mr Fahey said.
The food, treats and gifts distributed through the Christmas
Foodbank were both donated and bought using funds donated by
local organisations and businesses, he said.
Supporters of the Christmas Foodbank included businesses and
Presbyterian, Anglican, Catholic and Methodist organisations.

ingredient information
Sulphur Sulfur Dioxide
Sulfur dioxide might not sound good enough to eat, but this food preservative does make its way into a number of edibles, including dried fruits such as raisins, dried apricots and prunes. Sulfur dioxide is one type of sulfite, a preservative whose name might be more familiar. Even a small amount of sulfite can wreak health havoc if you're sensitive to it. If you have asthma, sulfite sensitivity or sulfite allergy, eating dried fruits might cause serious health problems, including breathing problems, life-threatening allergy-like symptoms or, in rare cases, death. To avoid sulfites in dried fruit, choose organic brands that don't use preservatives including sulfur dioxide, in their produce. Organic dried fruits won't last as long as fruits containing preservatives, but freezing fruit will extend its shelf life, according to National Geographic. http://healthyeating.sfgate.com/health-risks-sulfur-dioxide-dried-fruits-3921.html

Hey all :).
I'm dropping you a note because you've been involved in dealing with feedback from the Article Feedback Tool. To get a better handle on the overall quality of comments now that the tool has become a more established part of the reader experience, we're undertaking a round of hand coding - basically, taking a sample of feedback and marking each piece as inappropriate, helpful, so on - and would like anyone interested in improving the tool to participate :).
You can code as many or as few pieces of feedback as you want: this page should explain how to use the system, and there is a demo here. Once you're comfortable with the task, just drop me an email at okeyeswikimedia.org and I'll set you up with an account :).
If you'd like to chat with us about the research, or want live tutoring on the software, there will be an office hours session on Monday 17 December at 23:00 UTC in #wikimedia-officeconnect. Hope to see some of you there! Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 23:01, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
- You are rating each comment again? What's wrong with the ratings that are already done? Why don't you use these? Why should I waste my time for this again? Why not fix the confusing rating options first as described here? Use "Usable", "Done", "Nothing do be done" and "Inappropriate". That's the best suggestion in my opinion. Also see my comments in the German Wikipedia. --TMg 12:27, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

The target OS most likely will be
CentOS 5.5.
Any insight would be appreciated.
- This will be a CPanel webserver (with MySQL, Exim, Apache, etc.) I'm getting off of a dedicated server to get the machine colocated.
- When I fired up the SA 6i configuration utility, it didn't give me a RAID 1 option. Just 5, 1+0, and 0. I'll see if the firmware needs to be updated tomorrow morning.

Gratitude. It's a word we hear often these days. But what does it mean?
According to the dictionary, it is the quality of being thankful. It can also mean ready to show appreciation for and to return kindness.
Why is this so important to our success and happiness?
Think of two children for a moment. One is that child everyone loves. He's happy, cooperative and excited over any little gift or kindness. Rushing away after a sincere thank you and hug, he shares his gift with others. You want to surprise him with a little something just to see his reaction.
The other child is stubborn, recalcitrant, and no matter what you do for him, it's never enough. He wanted the red one, not the blue. Why did you get him a toy car instead of a toy truck? Why are you always putting him in time-out, just because he got mad at not getting what he wanted? You should have known… The new toy or treat is thrown onto the floor before he turns his back and stomps away.
Which child are you going to favor? Do you reward the ungrateful child for his temper tantrums and his rudeness by trying to second guess what he'll want today?
Or will he be passed over in favor of the child who is happy to get anything you bring for him?
The universe is the same way.
Unless you can be thankful for where you are and what you have, why should it give you anything different? If all you do is complain about your circumstances, why should you have something better?
Find things in your life for which you can give thanks. Do you have a roof over your head? A job? Transportation to that job? Is there food on your table?
Maybe you're one of those people blessed with good health. With medical costs as high as they are, that is definitely something you can be grateful for.
Start today.
Make a list of all the good things in your life. As you write each one down, say thank you. Do it each day, until being grateful or thankful is your way of life.
When it comes to life and its blessings, it all starts with Gratitude. If your requests aren't founded in gratitude, very little will come of them.
What is the key to the universe? I'm not sure about all of that. But I do know that Gratitude plays a great role.
Gratitude. Make it a way of life.

Kids on Antidepressants Suicide Alert
Oct. 28, 2003 -- The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) yesterday issued a Public Health Advisory to alert physicians to reports of suicidal thinking and suicide attempts by children and teenagers during clinical trials of antidepressant drugs for major depressive disorder. The FDA statement appears below.
Comment: We believe this is a very important matter. Physicians are not the only ones who need to be aware of the risk of suicide among children and adolescents who are on or coming off antidepressants. We all need to be concerned and alert to this possible danger.
For more in-depth information, please see the following areas:
Barbara K. Hecht,
FDA Issues Public Health Advisory Entitled: Reports Of Suicidality in Pediatric Patients Being Treated with Antidepressant Medications for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is issuing a Public Health Advisory to alert physicians to reports of suicidal thinking (and suicide attempts) in clinical studies of various antidepressant drugs in pediatric patients with major depressive disorder (MDD).
FDA recognizes that pediatric MDD is a serious condition for which there are few established treatment options. In addition to use of non-medication approaches to treatment, clinicians must often make choices among drug treatments available for adult MDD. Currently, Prozac (fluoxetine) is the only drug labeled for use in Pediatric MDD, and was approved recently under the Pediatric Exclusivity provision.

The University of Wisconsin has suspended junior wide receiver Maurice Moore after he was arrested early Sunday morning for operating under the influence.
Moore was involved in a one-car accident on Regent Street, near Camp Randall Stadium, and was hospitalized for minor injuries.
So far this season, Moore has caught three passes for 45 yards. He also saw action as a kick returner against Indiana after David Gilreath's struggles this year culminated in a muffed punt turnover.
Last year Moore caught five passes for 61 yards.
Next up for Wisconsin is Michigan on Saturday morning at 11:00 a.m. The Badgers will be going for their eighth win of the year, one more than last year's total.

I did a quick assessment and it looks like Santa knows that I have been "nice", as opposed to "naughty" so there is a real possibility that I might get a present or two under my tree come this Friday. Here are some of the items on my list.
-car drivers and cyclists find a way to get along. Things seem to be going downhill in the relationship between four wheel and two wheel drivers. I am hoping for some understanding on both sides of this issue. Car drivers need to show more tolerance for the slower, law-abiding cyclists and cyclists need to obey traffic laws. It is a two-way street.
-UCI adopts a rule that takes the time of a stage during a multi-day race with 1 kilometer to go. This will allow the GC contenders to be able to relax and not have to mix it up with field sprinters. This should lead to fewer crashes.
-if the UCI won't adopt my 1km rule, then at least stop taking time gaps at the finish of stages where the whole peloton crosses the 1km to go barrier intact. Again, the GC contenders shouldn't have to mix it up with the field sprinters in those hectic finishes as they do now.
-keep Lance healthy and fast for at least two more years. Yes, he gets a lot of press and attention, but that's exactly why we need to keep him in the sport and riding well. No single cyclists in the history of the sport in America has even come close to raising public awareness of our sport. Lance may not be your favorite rider, but a rising tide floats all boats and Lance is just about as strong as the moon when it comes to our seas in cycling.
-more mountain-top finishes in the Tour of California. Please don't let this race come down to the time trial as it has for the past four years. Let's force the strong teams to work and work hard to win this race. The fans deserve it.
-bike manufacturers need to find a way to make carbon fiber frames which will accept a full-size frame pump. Using CO2 cartridges is about as "un-green" as you can get and those silly little mini-pumps are really silly.
-have the folks who make the Bike Friday include a clown suit, free of charge, with every bike purchase. You might as well dress for the part. BTW, there are several good Real(TM) bike options (S&S and Ritchey BreakAway). No one should be forced to endure 20" wheels and more extensions than Brittany's hair just to ride a bike.
-have all the people who wear MP3 players when they ride turn down the volume enough so that they can actually communicate with their fellow cyclists when a greeting occurs on the road.
-a real playoff in college football. Think all cyclists have tunnel vision? Think again.

Uganda has suspended the hunt for fugitive warlord Joseph Kony and his Lord's Resistance Army fighters, blaming hostility towards foreign troops by Central African Republic rebels who seized power last month.
Kony is wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes.
He and his commanders are accused of abducting thousands of children to use as fighters in a rebel army that earned a reputation for chopping off limbs as a form of discipline.
Uganda provides more than 3,000 troops of a 5,000-strong African Union force hunting Kony and his fighters, who are thought to be hiding in jungles straddling the borders of Central African Republic, South Sudan and Democratic Republic of Congo.
A separate coalition of rebels in Central African Republic, known as Seleka, toppled President Francois Bozize last month.
They swept into the capital Bangui in a lightning offensive which triggered days of looting and drew international condemnation.

MUSIC; At Salzburg, The Sting Of a Gadfly May Endure
By JOHN ROCKWELL
Published: July 22, 2001
SALZBURG, Austria, best known as the birthplace of Mozart and the site of the Salzburg Festival, is one of the prettiest places on the planet. It has Baroque cathedrals and a medieval fortress and a swift-flowing river and quaint little streets and elegant shops, hotels and restaurants. It is surrounded by craggy Alps, into which are nestled turquoise lakes and softly, intensely green meadows.
The festival -- this year's installment began yesterday and runs to Aug. 31 -- attracts thousands of tourists humble or moneyed or titled, along with locals and summer residents who flock to the area for culture and scenery, rather in the manner of Tanglewood in the Berkshires but considerably grander. Traditionally it has presented premier performers in lavish productions, as well as providing a summer hangout for the businesses of classical music and recording.
And then, in 1989, as if he were an alien dropping in from another world, arrived a short, feisty, brilliant and annoying Belgian named Gerard Mortier. This summer Mr. Mortier is celebrating (a verb that would not be used in every quarter) his 10th and final festival as artistic director. This venerable institution in this timeless town is now very different from what it was when he arrived, shortly after the death of the longtime festival Führer Herbert von Karajan. It will be fascinating to see how long his accomplishments will last, just how successful they will finally be judged, and whether Salzburg will ever again settle into the gold-plated somnolence in which it previously luxuriated.
The festival dates from 1920, although there were intermittent Mozart-centered festive performances in Salzburg earlier in the century. Along with Richard Wagner's fief at Bayreuth, Germany, which he started in 1876, it counts as the richest and best of the world's festivals, and is certainly the prime one to present a diverse repertory of opera and classical concerts, along with theater.
There are those who discount the importance of arts administrators, preferring (rightly, perhaps, in the greater scheme of things) to concentrate on creators and recreators, also known as performers. But Mr. Mortier's transformative tenure emphasizes the importance of administrators. The right person in the right time and place can galvanize even the stodgiest traditions, and with some failures and many successes, that is exactly what Mr. Mortier has done.
A self-consciously serious European intellectual, he has deliberately reshaped the Salzburg Festival against the backdrop of its own rich history and the deep tensions in European cultural thought that it sought to revitalize in the wake of World War I. Mr. Mortier's greatest accomplishment -- beyond all the controversial opera productions, the still-starry casts and concerts, and the remarkable regeneration of the festival's theatrical program -- may have been to bring Salzburg back to itself.
The Salzburg Festival was founded by a group of mostly Austrian artists including Hugo von Hofmannsthal, the poet, playwright and librettist for Richard Strauss's best-known operas; Max Reinhardt, the theater director; Alfred Roller, the Viennese architect and set designer active during Mahler's tenure at the Vienna Opera; the now little-remembered conductor Franz Schalk; and Strauss himself.
Their vision was informed by Austria's defeat and loss of its vast, multicultural Hapsburg empire. It was conceived, the American historian Michael P. Steinberg has argued, in reaction against the revolutionary modernism of turn-of-the-century Vienna. But the ideal of a neo-Baroque, Catholic, Austrian-South German cosmopolitanism sent a mixed message. It welcomed the diversity of other cultures, as the empire had done. But it also presumed that the legitimate center of that culture was Germanic. As such it was conservative in a way that made its ideas seem compatible with those of the Nazis, even if Hofmannsthal himself (he died in 1933), being one-quarter Jewish, became a nonperson in 1938, when Austria was willingly incorporated into the Third Reich and the festival soldiered onward minus many of its great performers from the 1930's.
In the post-Nazi period, the importance of the festival's attention to the culture and commerce of classical music grew apace, resting solidly on the foundation of the Vienna Philharmonic, even if the theatrical side of the operation languished. Mozart and Strauss remained front and center, with some new music and generally nonconfrontational stagings.
From 1956 until his death in 1989, the conductor Herbert von Karajan dominated the festival and the town, in which he had also been born. Many wonderful performances took place during that period, especially in the earlier decades. But by the end, the Salzburg Festival seemed artistically moribund, however lucrative the tourist business and star-studded the casts.
The festival is controlled from Salzburg, but Viennese bureaucrats, politicians and press have a big say in its operation and image. Partly this is because of public support. Some 25 percent of the overall budget of roughly $40 million (computed with today's strong dollar) comes from public sources, with 40 percent of that from the national government. The rest is from the box office (the best opera tickets cost nearly $300), and corporations like Nestlé and Audi and Siemens, and private sponsors like Alberto W. Vilar and Betty Freeman.

Gateway solution connects Mauritian islands
MAURITIUS| Aug. 2, 2012, 9:25 a.m.
Gateway Communications has provided a connectivity solution to Emtel, for the remote islands of Agalega and Rodrigues, which form part of the Republic of Mauritius.
The Rodrigues Island lies 550km northeast of Mauritius with a population of about 35,000. The island contributes to the economy through a variety of sectors including tourism, fishing and agriculture. Effective mobile connectivity is needed in order to facilitate business-to-business communication and for general correspondence with the mainland.
The Agalega Island lies 1,122km north of Mauritius and has a population of less than 300 people. This island is self-sustaining, but residents utilise mobile communication for ordering supplies, for emergency situations and to stay in touch with their friends and family across the island archipelago.
Gateway says although they were previously connected, the Islanders of Rodrigues and Agalega frequently experienced weak links and outages often brought on by bad weather. Emtel - a division of the Millicom International Cellular (MIC) group - approached Gateway Communications for a potential solution, which would deliver the most efficient voice and data connectivity to the residents of these islands.
Emtel used CellDirect - Gateway's satellite cellular backhaul solution – to give the islanders access to reliable and effective mobile communications.

Hello WordPress Helpers! I am at a loss and I need you. I have three problems which I will post here. I am using the Clear Style Theme and my website is http://www.ExecutivelyYours.com.
1. I cannot get rid of the reply boxes on my site. I have six static pages. The Leave a Reply box is on only two of the pages (About Us & Contact Us). I think I have done a pretty good job at unchecking all of the pertinent boxes. But alas, they still exist. I have even tried to remove the comment code and this did not work either.
2. I know this is in the code, but I can't locate it. I would like to get rid of the Leave a Comment & Edit links in the header.
3. I would like the Facebook logo at the top to be larger.
If someone can help me with these three, I will be so thankful. #1 is the most important. I think I can deal with the other two, but am under time constraints. I am learning this slowly but surely, but have a long, long ways to go I'm afraid.

Half the Otago schools reviewed by the Education Review
Office in a nationwide investigation last year were found to
be inadequately prepared to protect pupils from sex offenders
teaching in their classrooms.
The schools were part of a nationwide sample evaluated by ERO
at the request of the State Services Commission and the
Ministry of Education, following two recent inquiries into
the employment of sex offenders at schools.
ERO refused to say how many Otago schools were included in
the sample, but confirmed some schools from the region were
involved in the evaluation.
A report on the evaluation, titled Student Safety in Schools
- Recruiting and Managing Staff, found one in three New
Zealand schools did not have satisfactory practices for
appointing and managing staff which were designed to keep
pupils safe. It meant they were unlikely to recognise
situations when pupils could be at risk.
An ERO spokeswoman said its staff discussed the gap in
practices with the Otago schools identified as being
under-prepared, and advised them on how to strengthen their
employment practices.
ERO evaluation services manager Stephanie Greaney said school
boards and leaders had a key role to play in pupils' safety.
''Our findings highlight that although all trustees and
school leaders agreed that student safety is paramount, some
schools need to increase their commitment to students' safety
when employing and managing staff.
''In addition, education agencies need to actively support
schools by making sure advice and regulation ... about what
is required is easy for school trustees to find and
Mrs Greaney said ERO had made recommendations for schools and
education agencies in the report, and included questions
which boards could use to review and improve their own
employment practices.
Information for the report had been gathered from online
surveys completed by principals and boards of trustees
chairmen, from scheduled reviews of 173 schools with
primary-age pupils, and from focused reviews of 27 secondary
Ministry of Education sector enablement and support head
Katrina Casey said pupil safety was a top priority for the
ministry, and concern was shared by schools, their boards of
trustees and the New Zealand School Trustees Association.
''We are looking closely at this week's report by ERO into
student safety, and are taking some additional action in
light of it.
''Now that ERO has released the report, we are writing to all
schools, clarifying guidance on their procedures for
recruiting and managing staff and offering ... support.''
Ms Casey said a lot of work had been done since ERO carried
out the survey a year ago, and there was also action on all
the recommendations contained in the `Person A' Inquiry
Report in 2012.
''The powers of the body that registers and undertakes
vetting procedures have been strengthened, and there is a new
code of conduct for the education profession and automatic
referral of serious misconduct to its disciplinary tribunal.
''Teachers receive advice on what makes a child vulnerable
and how they can be helped, as part of their initial
A Bill is before Parliament to create a consistent approach
to vetting and screening.

Ever play Grand Theft Auto V and think, "Man, I wish I could have a cannon firearm that shoots cars," or "I wish all of Los Santos was underwater"? Well, someone thought those thoughts and created mods for both of those ideas in the PC version of the game.
Making normal-ish games weird is a trend lately, but we've scoured the web for a handful of games that started out weird without any help from mods. This mix of creepy and fun video games is within a PG limit, because it can get scary weird (I'm looking at you, Japan). (I'm casting a pretty broad net for these weird games. If the gameplay is interesting or if the story is bizarre, it has a good shot at making the list.) So let us know which ones you tried and which ones you liked.

I alerted mitcho to this problem yesterday in Twitter, but it seemed wise to document it here too, both for his sake & for the sake of other YARPP users.
Here's what I'm getting:
Warning: cannot yet handle MBCS in html_entity_decode()! in /home/henkimaa/public_html/lainen_wp/wp-content/plugins/yet-another-related-posts-plugin/keywords.php on line 7
I've got two WordPress blogs both running on a Bluehost server using PHP 5.2.17. One blog, Henkimaa, was on WordPress 3.1.1 yesterday (I hadn't yet had time to install the update); the other, Bent Alaska, was using WordPress 3.1.2. For both blogs, everything had been working fine up until yesterday, when suddenly the problem occurred, forcing me to disable YARPP on both blogs. (I've since updated Henkimaa to WP 3.1.2.)
It's pretty bizarre that this problem just suddenly showed up out of the blue, when YARPP had been functioning quite normally with both blogs up until that time.
YARPP is a great plugin, & I am assuming this is a very temporary problem. Thanks mitcho for already being responsive on Twitter. Hope this further documentation helps us get to the root of the problem. Any help/suggestions welcome.

I'm running Akismet 1.12 under WordPress 1.5 and I have a problem. I've attempted reporting this problem on the development blog (my comment has been awaiting moderation for two weeks) and also emailed the developer (no reply after a week). I know from comments to my own blog that I'm not alone with this problem, so suggestions welcome.
Akismet won't let me review comments on the Akismet management page. When I go to the review/moderate page, I get this error message where the list of messages should be displayed:

Punxsutawney Phil 2011: Did the groundhog see his shadow?Laura Mayes
It's Groundhog Day. And most of the US is in the middle of the biggest blizzard ever. It's all up to Punxsutawney Phil (and Wiarton Willie in Canada)! If he sees his shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter. If not, we're in for an early spring. So guess what happened…
Keep reading to see if we have more winter weather ahead…
Punxsutawney Phil just reported from outside of Pennsylvania. He did not see his shadow this year which means that spring is on its way early for those in the US!
Shortly after, Wiarton Willie reported from Canada. He did not see his shadow either, which means spring will also come early for those in Canada!
Hooray! Way to go, Guys! I mean, Groundhogs!

Comic-Con Trailers: The Best of the Best, Ranked
Film, TV
It turns out that DC Comics' domination of the Diamond Top 10 in October may have been more than simply an anomaly made possible by a competitor's schedule drift: The just-released list for November shows the publisher taking seven of the 10 slots, one better than the previous month.
As chart-watcher John Jackson Miller points out, only the appearance at No. 3 of Marvel's Captain America Reborn #4 prevented DC from repeating its once-in-four-decades claim to the six best-selling comics.
Marvel continued to lead in unit share and dollar share.
DC's November achievement was again aided by Blackest Night, whose fifth issue was the top-selling comic to the direct market. Four of the company's six other Top 10 titles were tied to the crossover; only Batman and Robin #6 (at No. 4) and The Flash: Rebirth #5 (at No. 9) were unrelated to the miniseries.
The 10 best-selling comics were evenly split between $3.99 and $2.99.
Perhaps almost as interesting is the list of Top 10 graphic novels, which is led by the first collection of Image Comics' surprise hit Chew, followed by the fifth volume of Dynamite's The Boys.
Cue Tom "Debbie Downer" Brevoort with another excuse…
What was that the EICs were saying about event fatigue? Almost every book in the top 10 is directly related to an event. Those that aren't (BATMAN, DARK AVENGERS, NEW AVENGERS) are driven by the aftermath of a recent event storyline (Batman RIP, Secret Invastion –> Dark Reign).
Not sure why Breevort would need to make excuses about Marvel trailing DC in top 10 books (but not, mind you, market share or dollars). BLACKEST NIGHT and its tie-ins are clearly popular, and Marvel doesn't have a true event going on right now beyond CAP REBORN. I'm curious where the DOOM PATROL and REBELS books wound up on the list for Novemebr w/ the ring promotion.
SIEGE starts soon, and Marvel will occupy more of the top 10 again once BLACKEST NIGHT ends and DC is between events (or is one quickly following BLACKEST NIGHT?). Don't get too worked up about it.
I suspect event fatigue mostly exists in the comics blogosphere.
And regarding CHEW, what can I say but congratulations to the creative team! Of all the books unlikely to ever top a sales list, CHEW's got to be about the most unlikely. Guess the cibopath demand was untapped this whole time…
Dan Didio has hinted repeatedly that they have another event coming up spinning out of the Superman books, but no idea what it is, or when we'll see it other than the vague "sometime in 2010."
Kinda shoots a hole in Brevoort's "our biggest books didn't ship that month" spin when October's numbers came out. Wonder how he'll spin it this time?
I still vote that this is a result of the $3.99 Marvels (with no added features).
As a long-term Marvel junkie, there are very few titles that I buy from them anymore, but I continue to increase my purchases of DCs….
And a primary part of my decision is the pricing of Marvels…. ($4 a comic is just too much for a regular purchase.)

"There is literally no safe place for civilians in Gaza," said the spokesperson for the UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in this morning's daily briefing following increased conflict between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
While there have been many news reports on the number of people who have been killed (over 500) and wounded (over 3,000) in the Israeli offensive, far larger numbers of people are being forced from their homes. In fact, displacement may turn out to be the defining characteristic of this terrible conflict. As the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) spokesperson Chris Gunness said today, "This is a watershed moment for UNRWA, now that the number of people seeking refuge with us is more than double the figure we saw in the 2009 Gaza conflict. We are seeing a huge wave of accelerated displacement because of the Israeli ground offensive."
Gaza is one of the most densely populated areas on Earth, with 1.8 million people squeezed into a territory only 25 miles long and 7 miles wide. In comparison with some of the world's major cities, it is very, very small. The Israeli ground offensive has led to an exponential increase in the number of people fleeing their homes. As of yesterday afternoon, 100,000 displaced persons were living in 69 UNRWA schools while tens of thousands of others had taken refuge elsewhere in Gaza. This equals almost 6% of the entire Gazan population and the figures are only likely to increase in the coming days. UNRWA planning figures are now at least 150,000 and today the agency launched an emergency appeal for $115 million in support.
People are warned to evacuate by the Israeli forces, but there are not many places to go as Gaza's borders are all but closed. Some have taken shelter with family or friends, some have even sought protection in a Greek Orthodox Church, but many have turned to U.N. facilities for protection.
Yet UNRWA's facilities are close to capacity and, as numbers increase, conditions are likely to worsen. According to Doctors Without Borders, unhygienic conditions and overcrowding at UNRWA facilities "are extremely worrying." UNRWA also may not be able to provide the protection which internally displaced persons (IDPs) are seeking. In fact, the agency reports that 64 of its buildings have been damaged in the offensive. The revelations that rockets have been found in two abandoned UNRWA schools could also well jeopardize the safety of IDPs seeking shelter nearby. In the second such case in a week, UNRWA today reported that its staff had discovered rockets which were hidden in a vacant school – a school located between two other UNRWA schools each currently housing 1,500 IDPs. When schools are used for military purposes, people's lives are put at risk.
The humanitarian needs in Gaza are many. Children are traumatized, 1.2 million Gazans have no or limited access to water, homes have been destroyed, medical supplies are scarce, there are reports of damaged sewage systems and the list goes on. The international community is being asked to provide immediate humanitarian assistance for those affected by the conflict in Gaza.
A few months ago, the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre reported that the number of internally displaced persons had reached an all-time high of 33.3 million people in 2014. And since then, more people, many more people, have been displaced – in Syria, Iraq, Central African Republic, South Sudan – and now Gaza. One sad thing we've learned about internal displacement is that it can take far longer to resolve than anyone expects.

Each week a set of 10 penguins change their locations and continue their spying on other races. Here you will find the various possible spawn locations for each penguin as well as the weekly polar bear agent and some extra handy information on top!
One Point Spawn Locations
Two Point Spawn Locations
Polar Bear Agent
Like the penguins, the polar bear rotates to a different well each week across RuneScape. When spied on, the bear gives 1 penguin point. There are a total of 6 spawn locations for the polar bear and they are as follows:
|Musa Point
|North of Ardougne lodestone, beside the farming shop
|In southern Falador, just outside the spinning wheel shop
|South of the banana plantation
|Northeast of the town entrance
|In the centre of the town
|Southeast of the east Varrock bank, past the fence

Shadow Realm ("Ghost") Penguin
The ghost penguin is an additional penguin spy unlocked after completing the Some Like it Cold quest. To see it, players must wear a ring of visibility (obtained from Rasolo after completing a part of the Desert Treasure quest) or have received Sliske's gift after the Fate of the Gods quest. Without one of these it is impossible to see the penguin.
This penguin is hard to find; it has a ghostly appearance with a blueish texture. It teleports around the thirty four different one point penguin spawns, spending a short period of time wandering from each before moving onto the next. It can also walk through players, various walls, NPCs, across water and over hills.
Upon spying on the penguin players will be rewarded with 3 penguin points.
Should you wish to watch a spawn and wait for the ghost to appear, you may find camping at the following spawns most beneficial, as they are either confined or mostly confined to their areas:
If the ghost penguin goes across water/over hills, use an item from your inventory on it and you will try to reach the penguin.
Additional info
- Chuck does not give any clues to its location
- The examine is "License to Chill"
- It does not show up as a dot on the minimap
- It makes a faint ambient sound when it moves, which sounds like crunching on snow
- It will not be at the same location on all worlds (for example: if it was at Rellekka on world 71, that does not mean it will be at the same place on world 36!)
Further Information
Various Clues
Larry or Chuck give clues on where a penguin may be. Talk to one of them at Ardougne Zoo for help on finding a penguin and you'll be given a clue location of approximately where the penguin might be. Remember that penguins are normally roaming (unless trapped) so they might shift to another clue area by the time you are looking for it. Below is a list of possible penguin clues, and their approximate location of where the clue may mean.
Note: Larry or Chuck do not give clues related to the Polar Bear or the Shadow Realm (Ghost) Penguin. These clues are only for the 10 regular penguins each week.
The 'Somewhere in Runescape clue' is a special clue, which happens when a penguin is in a area that hasn't been given an actual penguin clue yet. It sometimes happens when new areas are released. But don't worry - the penguins are still around, they haven't evaporated into thin air! Expect this clue range to change frequently. The info for this clue may not be always fully accurate.

I've searched and tried others' suggestions to make the table resize automatically by adding "width: auto" on the table id, as well as surrounding it with a div that is either "width: auto", "max-width: 100%; height: auto", and even "width: Xpx" but nothing is having any effect on the table width and it overflows into the sidebar regardless. What is worse is that the table is also not resizing with the content container it is within, making it the only item on the page that is completely unresponsive. I've made sure my CSS is in em so it scales proportionately, too, but nothing is working. Please help, if you'd be so kind. I've also donated in the past :)

Many thanks go out to Ed Guidry for recording this great capture & to Andy Murray for
sharing it with the world at large. This was a really nice sounding source that I tweaked
a bit to hopefully make it shine a little brighter. I time aligned the 12' split on the mics to make
them even & that really pulled the drums together. There were a couple instances in the
beginning of the show(d1t01) where the left channel seriously dropped down in volume
(but not out completely) that I have evened out now as if that never happened. I then EQ'd
the thing to bring out a bit more of the DJ & warmth of the bass & then tastefully raised the
levels. Overall, I think that a great source has been improved & I hope that you all agree.

By Kimberly K. FritzSeptember 29, 2011
FORT LEE, Va. (Sept. 29, 2011)-- Well-wishers gathered for the latest NCO induction ceremony were treated to extra pomp and circumstance at the Regimental Club Friday.
Nearly 40 years after retiring here, Lt. Col. Neal C. Brayton returned to Fort Lee to receive the Legion of Merit award for his actions during the Vietnam War. Brayton served as the School of Management Information Systems dean until his retirement in 1974.
In October 1968, Brayton was on assignment in Tay Ninh Province as a psychological operations adviser working with the principal Vietnamese information official. His objective was to impose the full responsibility for their work on the Vietnamese and withdraw the U.S. from operations. Under Brayton's guidance, the Vietnamese information officer improved his initiative and personal skills and gave the information programs a Vietnamese character.
Shortly thereafter, the senior adviser was injured and his deputy killed, leaving Brayton to take charge of the advisory team. He picked up the reins and continued with the mission. He continued with all of the team's normal operations, wrote the pacification and development plan and implemented the plan and its system of reporting its progress. Brayton continued his assignment, monitoring and directing the pacification program.
The award citation cites Brayton's broad and deep understanding of the means and objectives of pacification, his exceptionally meritorious conduct and his outstanding service.
When Brayton began to write his military memoirs he realized the Legion of Merit award was not among his awards although he had earned it. The colonel contacted Rep. Eric Cantor, the congressman from Virginia's 7th District who contacted the Department of the Army and in April, Brayton was issued the award and told to contact the nearest military installation for the award's presentation.
"The Army is sometimes slow in recognizing some of the deeds of past Soldiers," said Col. Rodney Edge, U.S. Army Garrison, Fort Lee commander. "We are here today to recognize Lt. Col. Brayton. We are going to present him with the Legion of Merit award for some spectacular achievements that happened in 1968 and 1969. What is important about that is, while he was working, several of his teammates were killed and he stepped up to the forefront and took charge. He led his unit to success. I am glad the Army finally got it right."
Brayton said receiving the award will help him finish his military history - completely.
"This ceremony will help me bring closure to that part of my life and my memoirs," he said.
Brayton spent 23 years in military service. He was a member of the Naval Reserves when he was drafted into the Army in 1951. Brayton served at Fort Benning, Ga.; Camp Casey, South Korea; Fort McClellan, Ala.; Fort Amador, Panama; Fort Bragg, N.C.; Okinawa, Japan; and finally Fort Lee.
