Rebecca Jo (Becki) Hubble passed away on April 29, 2004, following a courageous, yet far too brief battle with cancer.
She was born Dec. 28, 1947 in Wabash, Ind. She proudly served in both the U.S. Marine Corps and the U.S. Navy and retired as a Navy Lieutenant in 1991. Following her retirement, she completed graduate studies at Old Dominion University and was a philosophy professor at St. Leo University. She was passionate about philosophy, reading and her garden. She strove to enlighten the minds of youth, and volunteered with the Norfolk Public Library to create Socrates Cafe, an after school program to enlighten children about philosophy.
She was preceded in death by her father, Donald Eugene Hubble.
Those mourning her death are her mother, Doris Jeanne Hubble, of Hendersonville; two sisters, Tamara Sue Witt, of Damascus, Md. and Peggy Ann Williams, of Hudson, Fla.; and her brother, Jon Randal Hubble of Tarpon Springs, Fla.; two nieces; four nephews; three great-nieces; a great nephew; and other friends and relatives.
A memorial service will be held at 7 p.m. Thursday in the Westover's garden behind 1017 Colonial Ave., Norfolk, Va. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Norfolk Public Library Foundation, 301 E. City Hall Ave., Norfolk, Va. 23510.

Is it possible to run multiple NTP server instances on the same system? We're using CentOS for our NTP system and want to synchronize specific time depending on what interface the client comes in on. Thanks.
You can not bind two processes (daemons) to the same socket (same IP/port). If you want to run two NTP instances, you can do this by binding each one to specific interface IP address.
As @Chris said, it is also useless to run two NTP daemons on the same host. The time is sent in UTC (GMT time).

Speaking as someone who owns "Lock, Stock and 2SB" on DVD (I love the movie), I have to say I was very disappointed with Snatch. It just didn't have whatever made the first one great. It had it's moments. The way the Gypsies (Brad Pitt) spoke was funny. But I was even bored during parts of it. There were no likeable characters to root for as opposed to Lock.
I've seen all the other movies on your list except Pecker and AI and I'd say they're all definitely worth a rental. If i had to pick one, I'd say I liked Traffic the most.

Thanks for the heads-up. It's funny, i just borrowed the DVD of Snatch from a friend today, and will try and get to it in the next couple of nights. From the previews, i certainly expected the flashiness and irreverence of "Lock, Stock and 2SB". I've had mixed reviews from friends. We'll see.

Wow, I feel completely different about Lock, Stock, et.al and Snatch. To me Snatch had a great story and kept me engrossed the whole time. I couldn't wait to see what happened next. It seemed more complete. Whereas Lock, Stock seemed like a very amateurish, although original, film which showed the potential of Guy Ritchie. In Snatch he finally got to deliver.

I just watched O Brother, Where Art Thou? for the third time. I liked it quite a bit the first time, and I've liked it better with each subsequent viewing.

I keep hearing how good it is, and how much people think i will like it, that's why i can't belive i haven't seen it. And it's the Coen brothers!

Anyway I can convince you to not put yourself in a world of Planet of the Apes pain?
- Login to post comments
Well, as much as i appreciate your trying to spare me the pain of this movie, and as much as much as i might agree with you afterwards, i feel almost as though i have to see it. Maybe i'm just a cinema sadist, but i have to witness the carnage for myself.

Okay, as long as you come on back and document how painful it was, I guess I can live with that. :-)

I love teaching. One thing I do know is that learning does not come at the same pace for every student. Whether facing new challenges in building math skills, developing new language proficiency, or honing materials already learned, I believe that everyone can learn and have made it my life's work to help students of every age find confidence in their ability to be successful students.
During my years teaching in PK-12 schools and in higher education, I have focused much of my energies working with students within the special education system. What this has allowed me to do is differentiate learning for every student. I know that learning is a process unique to each and every learner and that finding success and finding confidence may take attempting a number of different methods.
I have successfully tutored numerous students in French, mathematics (pre-Algebra, algebra, geometry, trigonometry and precalculus are my specialties), writing, critical thinking/researching, history and a wide range of other subjects in all age groups from PK-12 through higher education.
Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me. I am excited to join you on this journey to becoming more confident and well-grounded in your studies! I love teaching. One thing I do know is that learning does not come at the same pace for every student. Whether facing new challenges in building math skills, developing new language proficiency, or honing materials already learned, I

Melissa has excellent rapport, and is able to teach complex concepts in ways that make them much easier to grasp.
Melissa has been tutoring our son in algebra. She is unfailingly patient. She does not do his work for him, but walks (or questions) him through whatever mathematical process he needs to be following at any given moment, or for any given math problem. She has a delightful, outgoing personality. We have been pleased, and she has done good work with our son.
Melissa was very prompt and got right to work with my son. She was friendly, patient and helpful and knew the subject matter very well. He will now be much better prepared to start his Sophomore year.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
I have a master's degree in counseling and during my four years as a guidance counselor and four years as director of disability support services in higher education, I have worked closely with students who have ADHD diagnoses.
I have been tutoring algebra 1 to high school and college students for more than ten years. I am familiar and comfortable with the content and strive to help others become that way as well.
I have a masters degree in counseling which has paved the road to more than ten years of experience working in higher education. I have worked with students at all levels of their college career: from admission to academic support, through residence life, during career development and while transitioning to graduate school or the workplace.
Prior to working in higher education, I worked as a high school counselor. One of my favorite things about that role was helping young people figure out what their next step will be. It's tremendously rewarding for me to watch young people and individuals pursuing college after some years in the workplace empower themselves to delve into higher education and find the school that fits them best.
As a LPC, I have taken extensive coursework in pharmacology as one of the most important aspects of how bodies respond to medication involves the interplay between body and medication as well as the reactions that differing medications have with each other. I enjoy the chemistry behind pharmacology as well as the math involved.
In learning about numerous medications, I have had to learn my own successful strategies for knowing...not just memorizing...all of the necessary information and can be successful sharing these strategies with my students.
Over the years, I have become extremely proficient in speaking to small, medium and large groups. While academic courses have played an important part of building this competency in my own life, the larger part has been established through practice. It is not always easy to give presentations, but practice and preparation will boost comfort and give a huge dose of confidence when talking to groups of people.
Beyond giving numerous presentations to professional and educational bodies ranging from groups of five to five thousand, I have also worked with students of all ages to build the confidence and skills necessary for success in public speaking.
I have worked with students for well over ten years building academic and study skills through reinforcement and a multitude of other intervention techniques. My professional expertise extends from elementary aged students through adults seeking GED & post-secondary degrees.

Is there a mailing list provide that has an API for this situation?
Alternatively, is there a provider that provides a widget (for inclusion on my site), which allows users to sign up in a similar way. The drawback of this approach is that data-collection will require a secondary form.
Any suggestions appreciated. Free solutions preferred, but all avenues investigated.

Erykah Badu Shares Her Thoughts On Marriage, Old Boos & Apologizes To Iggy In Epic #AskBadu Session
Whenever a brave celebrity opens themselves up to a #Ask________ session, you never know how it will end. See #AskRKelly, #AskDonLemon and #MyNYPD for examples of extreme failures. But today when Erykah Badu took to Twitter to answer a few questions from fans, it was all types of awesome. I actually learned quite a few things from E. Badu including her thoughts on marriage, Beyoncé and what she would be doing if she weren't an artist. There's even a nod to one of her ex boo thang's if you watch closely.
Check some of the highlights from #AskBadu below.

"Do I ever see myself getting married? Absolutely. Every single time I fall in love, I do. I'm always looking for a forever. I'm a win-win type of person. Sometimes it all boils down to the chemistry, that's the most important thing. No matter how good you are together, if the chemistry does not line up, I think that the bad may outweigh the good and there are easier ways to grow, to evolve. But…he's coming."

B! I love B! I'm a huge B fan. Beyoncé is one of the hardest working human beings I've ever seen. She has to have a lot of patience and control. I admire the way she manages her life, her relationship and her career. Plus, she's from Texas. That's my Texas homie. What's up B? The whole Knowles family got my love.

"I Tried To Break Up With Him So Many Times" Erykah Badu Talks Relationship With Common
It's not every day that Erykah Badu sits down for an interview. So we were happy to learn that she recently spoke with "The Breakfast Club" crew. And we all know celebrities often end up keeping it very real with those three. Plus, Badu is not really known for being fraudulent. Anyway, during her sit down she spoke about everything from her son Seven to her clash with Azealia Banks. But what I found most interesting was that she cleared the record and told her side of the story when it came to her breakup with rapper Common. Check out a few highlights from the interview below and watch the full video on the next page.
Clash with Azealia Banks
I think sometimes, if we're not careful, we can let people instigate us into some kind of weird situation. It's the people around who are repeating it, retweeting and retweeting. I didn't even know she was going to read it…That's the way it is. I was just saying some sh*t really. Now I got some hardcore a$$ b*tch after me. I'm peeping around corners everywhere I go.
On her son Seven
Yeah, he turned 18 on November 18th.
Yee: How protective are you because he worked on your album and he worked with Gwen Stefani but are you really protective of him as your son in this industry?
Not really, no. He's not really into that kind of thing. He's a nerd. He's into studies and computers and things. He's talented by default and he has exquisite taste.
Envy: But look who his mommy and daddy is. He had to be talented.
He's an improvement on a design though. He's next level.
Envy: Was that a true, 'I'm just going to try this one night, we taping' or was it a studio…
In rehearsal, a lot of times, we just play around and do stuff. But I didn't know it was going to turn into "Tyrone." So the background vocals were prepared because they kind of know the joke. But it just kind of turned into a song. It was totally freestyle.
Yee: You ruined everybody named Tyrone after that.
Erykah: *Chuckles* I know.
Breakup with Common
Yee: He said you called him and said, 'I don't want to be with you anymore.'
That's not true. You know I never got a chance to say anything. I tried to breakup with him so many times. That was the last time.
Envy: It's hard to break up with a light skinned person, man.
It's hard. They don't get it. They don't understand. They keep coming.
Yee: That is true. You try to break up with some guys and they act like it never happened.
That's right. He didn't believe it.
Charlemagne: How many times did you try to break up with him?
Ok, I'm exaggerating a little bit. It was just kind of like, we were growing apart. We hadn't seen each other in a little while. I told him that I needed space.
Yee: So you tried to do the fade out?
I tried to do the fade out. But I ended up putting myself in a trick bag. But you know, me and Common are still very close too. He's really sweet. He's the most compassionate human being I've ever met, I think. Very kind…hearted. But it's all about chemistry, you gotta have chemistry.
Charlemagne: How do you know when it's up, when the chemistry's done?
If the chemistry was never there, it was just never there. But you know there's a process that you take to get to know people. You know, you date people. There's certain things that are awesome and certain things that really don't mesh with you. In Common's case, he's just awesome all the way around, just the chemistry's a little different.
Charlemagne: Did he ever be like, 'What am I supposed to do with all these clothes I bought?'
*Laughs* Horrible.
Barbershop: The Next Cut Will Not Only Make People Laugh, But It Will Also Tackle Gun Violence In Chicago [Trailer]
Welcome back to the barbershop!
It's been more than 10 years since the last installment in the Barbershop franchise. But after rumors of another film being shopped around popped up last year, Malcolm D. Lee was able to make it happen. Ice Cube and the gang all hustled back into Calvin's barbershop in Chicago to make a third film. Barbershop: The Next Cut will open nationwide on April 15, 2016.
Until then, you can check out the first trailer from the comedy, which was released today.
Directed once again by Lee, but written this time around by Black-ish showrunner Kenya Barris and The Neighbors' Tracey Oliver, we catch up with Calvin (Ice Cube) and Eddie (Cedric the Entertainer) and the inhabitants of their beloved shop. Major changes have been made to it, including the establishment now being co-ed thanks to the addition of a beauty shop that brings with it Angie (Regina Hall) and the feisty Draya (Nicki Minaj).
And major changes are also happening in the surrounding community, where gang violence is rampant. In the hopes of not only saving the shop, and the neighborhood, but to also keep his son Jalen (Michael Rainey Jr.) out of harms way, Calvin and the barbershop crew work together to try and bring about change.
That's right. This story is a bit deeper than what we were given the first and second time around–and I'm not mad at that.
But no worries! Based on the trailer, the film still has very humorous moments, and that makes sense considering all the funny folks with roles. Anthony Anderson is back as J.D., of course, Cedric the Entertainer is an important player, and then there's JB Smoove, LaMorne Morris (of New Girl fame), and Deon Cole (of Black-ish popularity).
Common has joined the cast, and some of your old favorites are back too, including Sean Patrick Thomas (Jimmy), Troy Garity (Isaac) and Eve (Terri). No sign of Michael Ealy though.
Check out the trailer for yourself and let us know if you'll be down for another visit to Calvin's barbershop next spring.
Celebrity Men We Think Would Be The "Perfect Guy"
We all know there's no such thing as a perfect guy. Even still, it's nice to dream about meeting a man who is the entire package. Can't a gal dream? Continue clicking to check out which celebrity men are about as perfect as it gets for us.
Idris Elba
What's there not to love about Idris Elba? With his chocolate skin, captivating eyes and that heartwarming British accent, any woman would fall head over heels for him. Elba first came across our radar as Stringer Bell in HBO's acclaimed series The Wire and we haven't had enough of him yet.
Common Talks Drake And Serena: If She's Happy, I'm Happy
While we can't confirm whether or not Drake and Serena Williams are a couple, there's no denying that the two are rekindling some form of a romantic relationship. But of course, the petty coral wouldn't allow this courtship to fully blossom until they checked in with Williams' ex-boyfriend, Common, who admitted to engaging in lyrical warfare with Drake in the past over whispers that the rapper had made a move on the tennis star.
Although in previous interviews he still seemed to be pining over the curvaceous beauty, Common seemed quite satisfied by the idea that his ex may have found happiness with someone else.
"Serena is a friend of mine," the rapper told TMZ. "As long as she's happy, I'm good."
Although whispers about the former couple possibly revisiting their relationship after she was photographed posing with Common's Oscar Award earlier this year, he made it clear that their romance has been dead in the water for a minute.
"You know, that's my friend. We dated. That's been done a long time ago, so now, it's like we're friends."
He continued:
"She's doing super good in tennis. She's incredible, so as long as she's happy, I'm good."
Common and Serena broke up years ago, and it's likely that he's completely over the situation, but in the event that he's just putting on a good face and is really broken up inside, he's more than welcome to make his way to Madame Noire's office. I know of a shoulder that he could lean on.

Common's New Series Headed To Showtime
So Bae has a new television series slated to air on Showtime!
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the premium cable network ordered a pilot for the coming-of-age series, which will be penned and executive produced by Lonnie "Common" Lynn Jr. and Dear White People producer Lena Waithe.
The drama will shadow the life of a young African-American male who lives in a community where "just growing up can be a matter of life and death." Kapital Entertainment's Aaron Kaplan will also be joining Waithe and Lynn as an executive producer. Clark Johnson will be directing the pilot.
"The two creative forces behind the show, both hailing from Chicago's South Side, give this pilot an unparalleled authenticity," Showtime president David Nevins said. "Lena Waithe is an extremely fresh, talented young writer with a unique voice and a deeply thoughtful perspective into the world where she grew up. I immediately gravitated to her script, which is emotional, funny, tragic and relevant, all at once. And, we are so fortunate to have artist and visionary Common for his first producing project in scripted television."
The untitled series will be Showtime's second pilot and first hourlong.
We're totally here for this!

You Jealous? Common Swaps Spit With Fan During Detroit Performance
It's always nice when artists incorporate fans into their musical performances, but some celebrities take things a step further. While performing in Detroit at the Tanqueray Trunk Show at the Museum of Contemporary Art, the always smooth Common invited a lucky lady by the name of Erica on stage. He serenaded her with his 2002 hit "Come Close" as she soaked up every single minute of it.
All seemed normal, but things took a rather interesting turn when the 43-year-old planted a kiss on the fan's cheek. Within seconds, the two are tonguing each other down in front of a screaming audience.
Of course, Erica's day was made and countless Common fans left that night wishing that they were in her position. Some, who weren't even there, playfully scolded him on Twitter afterwards. Common hilariously played along.

Kean University Cancels Common's Commencement Speech Over "A Song For Assata"
Kean University has rescinded their invitation for Common to speak at their 2015 commencement ceremony after New Jersey State Police expressed concerns, NorthJersey.com reports. The University retracted their announcement that Common would be speaking at the graduation ceremony just hours after making it.
"The students expressed interest in Common because he composed the Oscar-winning song 'Glory' with our prior commencement speaker John Legend," spokeswoman Susan Kayne said. "While we respect his talent, Kean is pursuing other speaker options."
Apparently, New Jersey police felt that Common was not a good candidate due to his 2000 track "A Song for Assata" dedicated to Black Panther Assata Shakur, who was accused of shooting Jersey cop Werner Foerster in the 1970s. Assata has been residing in Cuba for decades as a fugitive, but NJ cops are still holding a grudge.
Chris Burgos, president of the State Troopers Fraternal Association of New Jersey, spoke out shortly after the school's initial announcement, calling their decision to invite Common "a slap in the face."
"What is troubling here is that a state university that is subsidized with state taxpayer funds, is once again being questioned on their decision-making at the highest levels," Burgos said in a statement.
Common has not commented on the situation.

About this Business
From Our Editors
The aromas of Caribbean jerk spices and sizzling conch fritters waft through the air, luring passing boaters to dock their rides in the complimentary slips at Nippers Beach Grille. After disembarking from their schooners or GPS-equipped sea monsters, customers can either stroll into the open, 9,000-square-foot dining room or onto the massive waterfront deck, both of which boast scenic seaside views. In addition to the watery vistas and salt-filled air, the restaurant spreads a laidback, Caribbean vibe by piping ambient island music from its sound system and stocking its tiki deck with rum-laced cocktails and imported Red Stripe beers.
The menu also reflects this tropical theme, spotlighting Caribbean staples such as jerk-spiced diver scallops and sweet conch fritters, as well as fusion dishes such as grilled cheese layered with sliced guava and mac 'n' cheese studded with jerk chicken.

LOS ANGELES -- Jim Thome sat on a training table in the Los Angeles Dodgers' clubhouse late Friday afternoon and took a long, deep breath, equal parts joy and relief.
"That was huge," he said, just moments after the Dodgers (thanks in part to Thome's pinch-hit single in the eighth inning) had stolen Game 2 of the National League Championship Series from the Phillies with a 2-1 win and evened the series at one game apiece. "They're all big this time of year, but with the atmosphere and the way the crowd in Philadelphia gets into it, [this game] was very, very big."
For seven incredible turn-back-the-clock innings, Pedro Martinez (87 pitches, 2 hits, 0 runs, 0 walks, 3 strikeouts) made it look like the Phillies would come home for Game 3 in command of the series. But when the Philadelphia bullpen faltered (giving up three hits and two walks) and Chase Utley airmailed a possible double-play ball toward the Philadelphia bullpen in the pivotal eighth inning of Game 2, the whole complexion of Game 3 -- and of the series -- changed.
"It's the biggest difference in the world," said Dodgers third baseman Casey Blake, wiping sweat and eyeblack from his cheeks near his locker Friday. "We're starting over."
If momentum is a real thing, if confidence counts, the Dodgers come into Game 3 loaded for bear, pumped up by yet another late-game comeback, the 11th game they have won this season when trailing after the seventh inning.
"We feel good," Thome said. "Any time you can build confidence like this you want to just ride it as far as you can, soak it all in to everything you do."
"This is a special team," said Dodgers left fielder Matt Kemp, shaking his head in near disbelief as he dressed for the team flight out of Los Angeles on Friday. "[Down 2-0] is not good. Especially going into Philly. Now we definitely get some momentum back. It shifts our way."
But of course you know the old line about momentum and tomorrow's pitcher. The Phillies turn now to lefty Cliff Lee, a man who could most definitely shift the advantage back Philadelphia's way.
Lee has been a freight train since coming over in a trade-deadline deal with the Indians in late July (7-4, 3.39 ERA, 3 CG, 10 BB and 74 K's in 79.2 innings), and has been even better in his two postseason starts so far (1-0, 1.05 ERA, 1 CG, 3 BB, 10 K's in 16.1 innings).
He throws a whole bunch of first-pitch strikes (he ranked fifth in MLB in 2009), and he'll be tough on the Dodgers' many right-handed hitters, including Kemp, Blake, Manny Ramirez, Russell Martin and Ronnie Belliard (NL righties have hit just .249 against Lee since he joined Philadelphia's rotation).
The prospect of facing him, down 2-0, would have been daunting for Los Angeles.
"You don't want to go into Philadelphia and have too high a mountain to climb," Dodgers manager Joe Torre said Friday during his postgame news conference.
And for the Phillies' part, when they mix Lee, their always-dangerous lineup and an amped home crowd in Citizens Bank Park, they know they have no reason to panic, no matter how frustrating the loss was in Game 2.
"We play day-to-day," manager Charlie Manuel said after Friday's defeat. "I know this was a tough loss, and it's a big loss in a way, but we've bounced back before and we'll bounce back again."
On Sunday they'll square off against Los Angeles right-hander Hiroki Kuroda, who will be making his first start since a Sept. 28 loss in Pittsburgh (he's been out since with a neck injury).
While Lee's road to Game 3 has been smooth and straight and gleaming, Kuroda's has been long, winding and full of potholes. He missed two months early in the season because of an oblique strain and was out three weeks late in the summer after taking a scary line drive off the temple in Arizona.
The Dodgers' coaching staff marvels at Kuroda's perseverance through it all.
"He's gone through a lot in these two years. The thing I find remarkable is when he got hit in Arizona, I don't think any of us knew how long it would take for him to get back into that competitive mode," Torre said Friday. "But it was a lot quicker than I ever would have anticipated, and that takes a lot of courage, just a lot of mental toughness to be able to do that."
"Through all he's been through there's that veteran presence about him," said Los Angeles pitching coach Rick Honeycutt. "He always seems able to make adjustments and make pitches to keep himself in a ballgame."
Lee has never faced the Dodgers. Ramirez is 6-for-14 against him lifetime, and Rafael Furcal has two hits in three at-bats, but the rest of the Dodgers' starters have little experience with him.
Kuroda pitched well in his one start this season against the Phillies, permitting only two hits over six innings in a no-decision June 6 (the Dodgers won 3-2).
"He's pitched good against us," Manuel said. "He's been aggressive with his fastball on both sides of the plate, but mostly he changes speeds against us and he's given us problems."
Will Kuroda be able to continue the trend? Will he be able to keep momentum on the Dodgers' side? Will he be enough to stop the Cliff Lee Express?
In Los Angeles on Friday, as there has been all season, there was hope, and a shot of confidence, too.
"Hiroki's got a nice assortment of weapons. We feel good about him," Honeycutt said. "Maybe we carry this over. Maybe you get on a roll and he sets a tone and then all of a sudden the game just looks a lot better."

Death toll rises to 5 in Indiana State Fair stage collapse
Published: Sunday, August 14, 2011 at 11:13 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, August 14, 2011 at 11:13 a.m.
INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indiana State Fair has been canceled Sunday following a stage collapse Saturday night that claimed the lives of five people and injured many others attending a Sugarland concert.
State Fair spokesman Andy Klotz confirmed a fifth death Sunday morning.
The outdoor stage rigging collapsed Saturday night during a gust of wind of at least 60 mph just minutes before the band Sugarland was set to go on stage. The rigging at the Hoosier Lottery Grandstand collapsed onto a portion of the crowd on the track in front of the stage. People were warned just a moment earlier of the coming storm, but told the show would begin shortly.
Seconds later, a fierce wind blew in from the direction of the midway, kicking up what one witness described as "a canopy of dust."
In a moment that eyewitnesses described as both terrifying and in slow motion, the massive rigging above the stage bearing lights, sound equipment and at least one crew member swayed menacingly and then came crashing down on the crowd.
The names of the five people who died in the accident were reported at a news conference at the Indiana State Fairgrounds Sunday morning. The four who died at the scene are Tammy Vandam, 42, Wanatah, Ind.; Glenn Goodrich, 49, Indianapolis; Alina Bigjohny, 23 Fort Wayne; Christina Santiago, 29, Chicago. Nathan Byrd, 51, Indianapolis, died at Methodist Hospital Sunday morning.
At the news conference, Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels at the Indiana State Fairgrounds was choked up as he began talking about emergency response.
"What you saw last night was a display of best qualities, both public and private, of Hoosiers," Daniels said.
State Police 1st Sgt. Dave Bursten updated previous injury numbers that 45 people were taken to the hospital immediately after the incident Saturday night. He said the early indication is it was an "isolated significant wind gust" and the midway and other areas on the ground weren't damaged as severely.
State Fair Director Cindy Hoye said the fair will reopen at 8 a.m. Monday with a memorial service at 9 a.m.
Hoye said the Indiana Occupational Safety and Health Administration, IOSHA, is investigating the structure of the stage.It was not immediately known whether a day of the fair has ever been canceled.
Sunday would have been the 10th day of the 17-day fair.
Bursten said people with animals at the fair will be allowed to tend to them, and a skeleton work crew would be on hand on Sunday.
More than 150 people were treated at a makeshift triage unit at the fairgrounds itself. It was a fairgrounds tragedy eclipsed in scale only by a 1963 propane tank explosion at the Coliseum that killed 74 people.
Indianapolis Star music reporter David Lindquist was in the fifth row of the Grandstand when the disaster unfolded.
"The entire stage rigging collapsed," Lindquist said. "This is bad. This is very bad."
According to Lindquist, opening act Sara Bareilles finished her set by commenting what a beautiful night it was. Less than 30 minutes later the stage set was on the ground.
"The gust of wind came, there was no rain yet and the production fell from left to right," Lindquist said. "And you could see, you could clearly see people were under the footprint of the rigging."
Emergency crews and fans quickly converged on the collapsed stage and worked to free those who were trapped, he said.
Marion County Coroner Frank Lloyd said the initial four victims died at the fairgrounds and were not transported to the hospital.
About 12,000 people were at the concert, Lindquist said.
An announcement from WLHK program director Bob Richards advised patrons that in the event the show needed to be stopped for bad weather, to seek shelter at the Pepsi Coliseum or the swine barn.
That advice likely prevented many injuries because some people left then, Lindquist said.
But many more remained. And it stands to reason that those least likely to leave were those who were closest to the stage, closest to the band they had come to see.
Heavy rain and winds estimated as high as 60 mph were reported from the storm after the collapse.
The grim nature of the tragedy stood in stark contrast to the music the concertgoers came to hear.
Sugarland, which mixes country and pop, serves up among the sunniest and most optimistic music on the airwaves.
Late Saturday, the band, which was scheduled to perform Sunday night at the Iowa State Fair, delivered a message about the disaster via Twitter: "We are all right. We are praying for our fans, and the people of Indianapolis. We hope you'll join us. They need your strength."

The Achilles tendon Total Rupture Score (ATRS) was developed because of the need for a reliable, valid and sensitive instrument to evaluate symptoms and their effects on physical activity in patients following either conservative or surgical management of an Achilles tendon rupture. Prior to using the score in larger randomized trial in an English-speaking population, we decided to perform reliability, validity and responsiveness evaluations of the English version of the ATRS. Even though the score was published in English, the actual English version has not be validated and compared to the results of the Swedish version.
From 2009 to 2010, all patients who received treatment for Achilles tendon rupture were followed up using the English version of the ATRS. Patients were asked to complete the score at 3, 6 and 12 months following treatment for Achilles tendon rupture. The ATRS was completed on arrival in the outpatient clinic and again following consultation.
The outcomes of 49 (13 female and 36 male) patients were assessed. The mean (SD) age was 49 (12) years, and 27 patients had treatment for a left-sided rupture, 22 the right. All patients received treatment for ruptured Achilles tendons: 38 acute percutaneous repair, 1 open repair, 5 an Achilles tendon reconstruction using a Peroneus Brevis tendon transfer for delayed presentation, 1 gracilis augmented repair for re-rupture and 4 non-operative treatment for mid-portion rupture. The English version of ATRS was shown to have overall excellent reliability (ICC = 0.986). There was no significant difference between the results with the English version and the Swedish version when compared at the 6-month- or 12-month (n.s.) follow-up appointments. The effect size was 0.93. The minimal detectable change was 6.75 points.
The ATRS was culturally adapted to English and shown to be a reliable, valid and responsive method of testing functional outcome following an Achilles tendon rupture.

DaveAug 31, 2009The first few episodes have been great, the talent level this season, especially from the men looks better than previous seasons.
CCAug 30, 2009Still works!
FatCatAug 26, 2009I love Topchef. But it is always painful to see the beginning of the season when the under qualified women get their asses kicked and be humiliated by the men. I appreciate the producer's effort in trying to get equal number of women and men on the show. I guess by doing so, at least the show does not get blamed for gender discrimination.
ML.Aug 22, 2009Looks like it will be another great season. The best part of the whole Bravo/.Project Runway drama is that these two great shows are running together.
RexxHAug 19, 2009The kitchen is the new gladiator arena. Complete with Socratic questioning of contestants. A reassuring spectator sport where food flourishes and chefs are praised or ruined. Witness the judge's romancing to near genocide of the chef's creative food, I decree you can't go wrong with the premise. Oh the platitudes of delection.
Sin City dazzle adds spice to the cooking competition's season 6 premiere....But it's the fresh crop of cheftestants that'll really whet your appetite.
The personal circus, while given much play, remains secondary to the cooking contest. And as usual, the crop of contestants is claimed to be the most talented yet, and they do seem well-credentialed (James Beard nominees, Michelin-star-winner), competitive and more than usually tattooed.
Tonight's episode just feels a little too much like the first day of orientation, where we're squinting at nametags, instead of checking out what's for dinner.

Speech review: John McCain
Dear God, not the "Mac is Back" chant again. This makes my eyelid twitch.
McCain seemed to have more energy tonight than in previous speeches, but still had the "I'm reading this off the teleprompter verbatim" problem. At least they didn't send him up there with a piece of paper to fumble with as in previous primaries, but the only time he seemed to get off his prompts was when he talked about his mom. What is it with moms in tonight's speeches?
Though McCain was more fluid and poised than in past speeches, he still had the "squint and look confused" problem when he'd stare out at the teleprompter during a portion he didn't have memorized.
The more I see this man speak, the more I see an older version of Bob Dole. The elder statesman who has earned respect in many circles -- and raised hackles in others -- but will never be president.
CNN cut away from McCain in mid-speech to go to Barack Obama. A better programming decision hasn't been made since they canceled "Cop Rock."

Gold-Dispensing Vending Machine Hits Abu Dhabi Hotel
The five-star Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi has installed Gold To Go, the world's first gold vending machine.
The five-star Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi has installed an "ATM" in its lobby that dispenses solid gold.
Dubbed "Gold To Go" by the machine's German manufacturer, Ex Oriente Lux AG, it is said to be the world's first gold vending machine.
The machine dispenses one-gram, five-gram and 10-gram bars of 24-carat gold, in addition to coins, featuring customized designs, and also automatically updates its rates every hour, according to the changing global market through a built-in online gold shop.

When a politician makes a statement like "It is not government that made
American great. Our greatness lies in the ingenuity of the American people when
left free to make their own choices and pursue their own dreams", you know
for sure that his purpose is to "fool the people".
Nothing exists in the United States, no rights, no freedoms, no business, no prosperity and no greatness, that is not or was not facilitated by the American government of people working together for a common cause.
Left on their own, free to make their own choices, people would be living in mud huts and die young.

I'll visit Sen. Lee's website in a few minutes. But I'm about
willing to bet it will be filled with vague generalizations cloaked in very
patriotic sounding verbiage.
I note one glaring omission in this op-ed. He has completely failed to include any mention of the harm done to this nation by crooked bankers, banks that are too big to fail, Wall Street abuses, the influence of corporate and anonymous floods of money into elections, Congress deadlocked along ideological lines, and most of the other REAL causes of the mess we are in.
Until someone is willing to actually tackle and try to change those things, everything else is simply political puffery.

I visited his website. I was right.
On the surface, it looks good and admirable. But it completely lacks any details and leaves all sorts of doors either wide open or at least ajar.
Just one example: What exactly does he mean by "adequate funding to ensure America's security?"

Senator Lee understands the Constitution. He understands that it is the PEOPLE
who hold the power; that it is the PEOPLE who hold the authority; that is the
PEOPLE who generate the ideas; that it the PEOPLE who provide the funding that
builds business and provides jobs.
The government has been restricted to perform only seventeen duties. All other duties are to be performed by the States or by the people. Senator Lee understands that.
Why don't we?
Why do we look to Washington to provide the answers? We have not delegated to Washington that duty. The answers are held by the PEOPLE, not by government. We will find the way to create jobs. We will find the way to increase revenue. We will find the way to employ people. The government has not been assigned those tasks.
Those who look to Washington are just extending the problem.
Those who allow the federal government to meddle in our personal lives have lost the vision of what it is that makes America different from European governments.
We once lived under the oppression of Europe. Why does Obama want to take us back to that time and those ways?

I love the titles that our Legislators assign to there bills and ideas,
"DREAM ACT". The ideas sound wonderful and grandiose. The problem that
I see is that it is so all encompassing that it is a DREAM. If the republicans
gain control of the Senate then progress will be made, but I suspect that even
them Senator Lee would have trouble getting through one bill that included every
thing he outlines in this proposal.
Why Not use a title such as "The American Self Sufficiency Act".

Once again, I would ask of our conservative friends, give us one example of an
invention, a process, a thing that is/was the creation of a single individual
without the help and support of others, working within the framework of the
American society.
Even the accomplishments of groups of people are dependant on the facilities that exist by the work of the American government.
People who promote the concept of rugged individualism are the people who would turn back history and return us to the slavery a world where a tiny few own everything and the people exist only at the will of the tyrants.

Ultra B,
No one is suggesting the government doesn't serve a valuable, necessary purpose. The problem occurs when government oversteps its limits as established by the constitution. Government is certainly necessary to protect the rights of the people. However, the argument of Sen. Lee and many others is government is doing things that exceed its enumerated powers.
I love your straw man of "people who want to return us to slavery and a world where only a tiny few own everything and people only exist at the will of tyrants." That's as good as "the rich who aren't paying their fair share," and "those who want to leave seniors without health care and social security," and the army of straw men drummed up by our celebrity president.

Its not slavery so much as indentured servitiude to a global corporate plutocracy/oligarchy.
Its not the tiny few but a minimal number of transnational coroporations and their lackeys in government and bureaucracies worldwide.
Just look at how many/few Oil companies there are as well as Telecom & Media.

Dolphins CB Jamar Taylor injures shoulder, leaves game against Broncos
DENVER (AP) -- Miami Dolphins cornerback Jamar Taylor is out after suffering a shoulder injury in the third quarter against the Denver Broncos. Taylor appeared to be clutching his left shoulder soon after a run play. Taylor was starting in place of Cortland Finnegan, who was deactivated with an ankle injury. Miami left tackle Ja'Wuan James suffered a stinger on a play in the second...

What can we expect from Jamar Taylor against one of the league's best offenses?
Cortland Finnegan missed practice again today, he didn't play Thursday against the Bills and it is starting to look like he may miss another game this week. Add on the injuries to Michael Thomas and now Will Davis, the Dolphins are pretty thin at cornerback. Going into the game against Buffalo, the #2 cornerback spot was a huge concern, we were unsure what we would get from...

The paper addresses the problem of disruption of services of any wireless network due to failure of a radio channel. This can be achieved by providing more than one disjoint route between any pair of node. Though higher redundancy ensures better reliability of the network but it also increases the network cost. In this paper, we propose a technique to design a cost optimal wireless network layout which incorporates some real life constraints of cost and reliability. A wireless network layout is only accepted when it can endure at least K radio channel failure and the total cost of the layout is minimum. In this technique n × n matrix is used to represent the cost of communication between the respective nodes which eventually is the communication time between a given pair of nodes. The technique is verified with a set of synthetic data.

Quoting 996tt:
Let me remind you Ike was a Category 2 and Irene hase the IKE (not the storm) of a Category 3 hurricane. Oh yeah and Ike was one of the costliest to hit the U.S. ever. Don't be so blase when it comes to this storm. They've already reported flooding in Georgia and North Caroline and the storm isn't supposed to get there for another 18 hours or so. The East is going to be in for a wild ride even if it's "only" a Category 1 storm.

The launch of EA's SimCity Buildit is here, and with it comes a delightful adventure. SimCity Buildit, a city building simulation at heart, certainly fits the innovative bill with down and dirty gameplay and attitude enough to fill a spare. When lined up against some of the admittedly more complex launch titles, this game doesn't have quite the same visual panache — but the devil's in the details, and the finest aspects of this game reveal themselves after considerable in-depth play.
SimCity Buildit is as straightforward as many as SimCity classic — and we don't mean this as a criticism. As the newest member of a pack of city builders, the player's mission is to create the best city possible — usually involving a lot of work and a solid strategy. In addition to the game's mission mode, there's a multiplayer mode (which allows for tailor-made one-game match-ups). Unlike those in so many other similar games, the mode here is a useful tool for gaining familiarity with the layout, as well as a pleasant way to create without time limit or interference.
Set in a beautiful terrain, the game takes place in three entirely realized worlds, each spanning over 25 square miles. And when we say spanning, we really mean it — it's a little difficult to convey other than to say that these levels are enormous. Given enough perseverance and successful elusion, any point visible can be driven to, and this is no gimmick. Later levels are increasingly difficult, and successfully completing these simulation really does rely on a sense of familiarity with the lay of the land. Visually, the game is a mixed bag — draw-in, textures and smoke and animation effects are excellent, if a little unspectacular. No one thing in particular is lacking or flawed, but the emphasis on real-world action lacks the dazzle of other, less earth-bound titles.
While a fine coat of detail has been applied to the game's sprawling environments, equal attention has been lavished on the physics engine under the hood. Different surfaces affect weather, while less-than-cautious gaming leads to the loss of less-than-essential elements. Better yet, skilled mayor can deftly level off their overall strategy. We've seen this sort of attentive balance between real-world physics and exhilarating arcade fun before, but that was in less flamboyant gamers. Still, for as detailed and intricate as the physics may be, everything about this game is refreshingly simple — a rarity in these highly complicated next-generation times.
Even the controls are a refreshing throwback to simpler times. This simplified control scheme lends itself well to third-party controllers. Which is not to say that this is an easy game. Time and mission limits are finely tuned to make for a progressively challenging career.
SimCity Buildit is just the sort of innovative title that every launch needs. We hadn't played anything like it before, but it will be instantly comfortable to budding cons of all ages and skill levels. While it won't blow anyone's eyebrows clean off, dedicated gamers will find that developer Maxis has really made the most of the mobile graphics engine in creating such thorough playfields. Entry-level gamers will be impressed with the easy learning curve and intuitive gameplay, while the hardcore among us will appreciate the innumerable thoughtful details and nuances that help bring the wild and rugged world of Simcity Buildit.

My Mac currently is running Snow Leopard (10.6.8), and I would like to develop with Java 7. I downloaded the Java 7 OS X installer from Oracle's website, started to run it. Unfortunately, I was immediately greeted with a message that said the installer is supported only on OS X Lion (10.7.3). Is there any way I can get Java 7 on my machine with Snow Leopard? I am not buying a new OS just to upgrade my Java. I googled around some, but I am not finding much. I'm hoping I can find some help here. Thanks.
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.

From what I have read JDK 7 does not require 10.7+ so I simply opened the shipped
So far in my using this I haven't experienced any issues, even the Java preference pane is working properly.
One thing to note, you will have to reorder JDKs in
I've even gone as far as to copy the Java 7
Just don't move/rename the JDK bundles while Java applications are running; not that I've done that by accident or anything...
I had the same problem and was not able to google the proper way to do it. At the end I came up with solution myself and put it on my blog:
The answer from @reukiodo is definitely the way to go, so thanks a bunch!. However, it might need some further explanation for newbs like myself.
There are two ways to do this.
Good luck!
You can build your own one. I did this before. It was easy. And it's as official as you can probably get:

The Mystical Adventures of Billy Owens
What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this tedious and confusing attempt at making a Harry Potter-type film features some bullying and mild insults. There are also some interactions between kids and a troll and a giant sword-wielding skeleton that might be scary to younger viewers, though the animation quality makes suspending disbelief difficult.
User reviews
Parents say
Kids say
What's the story?
On his birthday, on the eleventh month of the eleventh day, Billy Owens (Dalton Mugridge) discovers he has magical powers not unlike a wizard after he and his two friends -- the funfact-spouting Mandy (Ciara O'Hanlon) and the allergy-suffering Devon (Christopher Fazio) -- run away from the clutches of the school bully and find themselves in a second-hand shop owned by a man named Thurgood (Roddy Piper). Billy is given a magic wand, and he must use it not only to stand-up to the school bully, but to rescue his town from mysterious vines, a dragon, a skeleton, and his evil wizard schoolteacher.
Is it any good?
It says a lot when former professional wrestler "Rowdy" Roddy Piper is the best actor in a movie, and that's exactly the case in THE MYSTICAL ADVENTURES OF BILLY OWENS. While the three kids themselves aren't necessarily unlikable, the film has such a slap-dash quality to it -- with unintentionally hilariously bad computer animation -- it is nearly impossible to care one way or the other what happens to Billy as he tries to save his town by using his recently discovered wizard capabilities.
Furthermore, the storyline is incredibly confusing. Best of luck trying to help your child understand what's happening, between the mysterious vines, the hunter's moon, the codex, the spirit river, the troll, the dragon, the skeleton, and something about an altar of destiny. To say nothing of who does and does not have magical powers. At the end of the day, this is a poorly filmed, poorly executed attempt to get on board the Harry Potter train.
Families can talk about...
Families can talk about the phrase oft-repeated in the film: "Friendship is the strongest bond." What does that mean? What are some examples in your own life of friends being there when you need them?
Why is Kurt's bullying behavior wrong, and besides magic wands, how else might Billy and his friends stand up to him?
What are the qualities that make films and TV shows "good" and "bad?" What is the difference between good and bad acting, special effects, and storytelling?

One man has been killed and three others were seriously injured early Saturday morning in a two car crash in Okaloosa County.
The Florida Highway Patrol says the 2:15 AM crash took place on State Road 85 south of the intersection of the Live Oak Church Road.
Killed was 22 year old Keith D. Cutts of Holt. Critically injured was a passenger in his car, 23 year old Kenneth J. Mastanduno of Crestview.
Troopers say their car was traveling on the wrong side of State Road 85 and crashed head on in the second vehicle, which was a van driven by Lindsay M. Bradley of Mount Washington, Ky.
Bradley was seriously injured as was a passenger in her van, 29 year old Christina L. Chestnut of Louisville, Ky.
Troopers are continuing their probe of the head on crash.

My sidebar ads have a couple animated gif's running with no problem. When I tried to add one to my leaderboard spot (in the header), I am having no luck getting it to animate. The sidebar uses the widget, and the header I had to adjust the header.php to create the ad spot and added WP Bannerize via PHP.
Thanks in advance!
