I just want to thank Steve Ralls and PFLAG for all of their support to Kathy Gilleran and the case of her missing son. As long as this stays in the public eye the more people especially in Vienna are going to see that Kathy is not givig up or going away. This is her son and she deserves to know fully what happened to him almost a year ago. I Love Kathy and support her 100%.
Again thank you to all at PFLAG, what you do is appreciated more than you'll ever know.

Steve: The support that you and PLAG have provided has been critical in moving this search forward. Thank you so much for the help you given to my dear friend, Kathy.
- October 17, 2008 at 8:12 AM
Steve: Once again, thank you for all you have done to help Kathy in her search for answers to Aeryn's disappearance. All who know her story are hoping that she will finally get some answers on her return trip to Vienna later this month. Local PFLAG members were touched deeply by her story, and we're grateful (and proud) that you, on behalf of PFLAG National, were able to offer her some concrete assistance.
- October 17, 2008 at 10:28 AM
Thanks so much for bringing this tragic story to the awareness of so many people. Kathy is a dear friend. She's a mom looking for answers, it shouldn't be this difficult to get answers about your son.
- October 17, 2008 at 11:40 AM
thank u for your continued coverage of this story. aeyrn, kathy and her other son, rahman, remain in my thoughts and prayers each day, and i hope with each effort made, big or small, that they will be closer to resolving this matter, and getting the answers they so desperately deserve.
- October 18, 2008 at 12:48 AM
Thanks again Steve for your continued help in making people aware of Kathy and Aeyrn's story. I looks like, with your support, things are moving forward. I really appreciate all that you are doing - keep up the great work - it means so much to so many of Kathy's friends that someone like you is supporting her.
- October 19, 2008 at 9:49 PM
Thank you for continuing to cover this story. Kathy is a great mother and she deserves some answers. I continue to keep her and Aeryn in my thoughts and prayers. Please keep us posted on what we can do to help! Love you Kathy!

To Steve Ralls and the Entire PFLAG Family. This is to commend you for all you have done thus far. You have chosen to be a voice where many others have chosen to be silent and your actions have been noted. Your care and true genuineness have provided a source of light, hope and at at times a rare moment of ease during a time of tremendous darkness and suffering. You have played a valued part in transforming one's life into a life worth living again. Well done.

Home for Evolving Mystics is an on-line learning site dedicated to resourcing and inspiring you on your evolving soul-path. I couldn't be more excited to announce that we're launching on Easter Sunday, April 2oth. For the launch I will be offering an inspiring video teaching on the Mystery of Resurrection from the perspective of evolutionary spirituality. Join today, and if you are among the first fifty, you get the first month free. Simply click on the "Join Us" button above.
Home for Evolving Mystics
The Awakening
Over twenty years ago, on a silent sea-side retreat, the universe revealed itself to me as a living, radiant display of Spirit-in-matter, involved with this great adventure of becoming that we call evolution. The illusion of separation between spirit and matter, humans and Earth, G_d and the universe, dissolved as my eyes and my heart opened to the mystery of the evolutionary process as a sacred story. I saw that very atom, amoeba, plant, every creature, including humans, played an integral role—each an intimate and beautiful expression of the evolving universe. Everything changed. I knew that I would spend the rest of my life coming to terms with this evolutionary awakening. I started to write books, speak, and travel throughout North America and Australia to share what had been offered to me. This started to occupy more and more of my time. What was being asked of me?
Stepping Out
Last year, I left the security and stability of a thriving congregation ministry after 27 years to honour the "blessed unrest" I was feeling. I felt like I was walking a tight rope into an an unknown future. This is what it meant for me to find my own frothy edge of evolution. For the past seven years, wherever I gave presentations, the first question was always the same. What are the next steps? And, where do I find a home community to explore more this more deeply? Welcome home.
The Birth
Then one day, it clicked. With the time I had left I wanted to offer the gift I had received to as many people as possible. I remembered Jesuit priest and paleontologist, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin's idea of the noosphere. Writing in the early 20th century, he envisioned a time in the near future when Earth would be wrapped in a collective mind, an envelope of consciousness analogous to the geosphere and the biosphere on the physical level. Earth would evolve a mind capable of instantly connecting people from every corner of the planet. I wondered if the Internet was a partial realization of his vision, as well as a way forward for me. This is how Home for Evolving Mystics was born.
The Yearning
In my travels, I encountered a lot of diversity in people's spiritual orientation. Many of you located yourself in the lineage of Jesus. You loved the community, but wanted to go deeper into the Christ Mystery. Others had no institutional affiliation, and shared with me unhappy stories of church. Some of you identified yourself as spiritual but not religious. Others were Buddhists, atheists, and secular humanists. But all of you shared one common desire: to connect with others who want to practice evolutionary spirituality. Teilhard de Chardin captured this longing for an evolutionary community succinctly:
"There is an almost sensual longing for communion with others who have a larger vision. The immense fulfillment of the friendships between those engaged in furthering the evolution of consciousness has a quality almost impossible to describe."
Welcome home.

Time Squeeze
None of us have the time we'd like to delve into our spiritual path. There is so much information out there, so many books to read, and videos to watch. Given the accelerating pace of change it's hard to keep up. Relax and know that a home place exists to harvest and distill the quintessential information and practices of evolutionary spirituality. This comes naturally to me and I'll be sharing everything that comes my way with you. But you know what's really excites me? Each of you will also be sharing the resources that have changed your life. We'll be building an unprecedented library of resources together. I hope that you will sign up today.
"Bruce Sanguin is an inspired teacher and a leading proponent of Evolutionary Spirituality. His courses resulted in the reframing of my relationship with the Divine and indeed the reconsidering of my definition of God. With Bruce you are not being given the word from on high, rather you are accompanied by an encouraging friend on the journey to enlightenment."
The Evolution of Love
I've saved the most important benefit for the last. In my life the core evolutionary driver has been a yearning for love, both personally and in spiritual community. I'm not talking about the Hallmark version of love. We all know that love is costly, it's subversive and decidedly unconventional. Much of my path has been, and continues to be, about mining down through the layers of fear in order to get to the diamond that is love. But the promise of realizing deeper, broader, and higher manifestations of love kept me moving forward. It has been a constant source of allurement in my own life. In all the great religious lineages, including the Judeo-Christian religion, mysterious source of allurement is associated with G_d, the Oneness manifesting in the glorious diversity and beauty of this evolving cosmos. Join us, as we support each other to take our next, best step in and toward the Heart of the Cosmos. I love this video. After you sign up I'll send you a follow-up email. Remember we're going live on April 20th!

Search teams find missing hikers in gamelands
Jonathan Heatherly, 32, and Janice Collins, 56, had been in woods for more than 24 hours
Published: Sunday, September 15, 2013 at 2:57 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, September 15, 2013 at 2:57 p.m.
DANA – Two lost hikers who spent a chilly night in the rugged Green River Gamelands were located by search and rescue personnel around 6 p.m. Sunday, a day after they went missing.
A search and rescue team found Jonathan Heatherly, 32, and Janice Collins, 56, off trail in the woods near the Big Hungry area of the gamelands, said Capt. Lowell Griffin of the Henderson County Sheriff's Office.
"The persistence of all the fire and rescue personnel in the area really paid off," Griffin said.
The pair departed on a hike from the Deep Gap area around 1 p.m. Saturday but never returned home. Family members went looking for them early Sunday morning, kicking off a search operation involving every county fire department and two state agencies.
"The report I'm getting is they are both uninjured, in good health, just very tired and hungry," Griffin said. He said the hikers heard rescue personnel nearby, called out to them and allowed the search party to "zero in on their location," which was off the main trail.
Family members told authorities Heatherly and Collins set out Saturday afternoon on a hike across the mountain that would typically take "a few hours," Griffin said. When they hadn't returned by nightfall, relatives began their own search with flashlights around 1 a.m. Sunday.
The sheriff's office received a call about suspicious activity in the Deep Gap area and discovered the missing hikers' family members. Shortly thereafter, Dana Fire and Rescue dispatched ATV teams into the gamelands to look for the hikers.
Both hikers were familiar with the area they were traversing, Griffin said, especially Heatherly, who goes by "John Boy." He is the son of Roger Heatherly of Dana and was last seen wearing blue jeans, a green T-shirt, leather work boots and a brown baseball cap with a bulldog on it.
Heatherly and Collins were last seen walking toward Chigger Ridge in the Big Hungry area, along trails that Griffin said were considered steep and moderate-to-difficult in nature. It's unknown whether the pair carried water or supplies, he said.
Heatherly sometimes walks with a limp due to surgery on his right ankle, according to a profile used by search teams. But Heatherly's uncle, Michael Jones, said his biggest concern was his nephew or his companion might have been bitten by a snake.
"You just never know," Jones said, as he strapped on a backpack Sunday morning to join in the search.
Temperatures overnight fell into the 50s, Griffin said, so rescuers were not as concerned about hypothermia as they were that the two hikers had become dehydrated or fallen in the steep terrain and suffered "some sort of injury."
Dana Fire and Rescue set up a command post early Sunday on Laurel Mountain View Road, joined by search teams from Edneyville and Blue Ridge Fire and Rescue. They sent out ATV teams to look for the missing hikers before dawn, said Dana Fire Chief Ben Lanning.
"There are multiple places they could have come out," Lanning said.
By mid-morning Sunday, search teams from every county fire department and the Henderson County Rescue Squad were summoned to the area to help with the search, along with a game warden from the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission.
A North Carolina Highway Patrol helicopter circled the area, and tracking dogs were brought in by the South Carolina Search and Rescue Dog Association.

La Jolla, Sacramento fuel mayor's race
The two geographic areas are closely followed by Washington, D.C.
People in the La Jolla ZIP code of 92037 have donated more than any other local ZIP code in the Nov. 19 election for San Diego mayor, according to a U-T Watchdog database, with more than 300 donors putting more than $280,000 into the race.
But those donors did not top the list of donation totals by ZIP code as of Thursday afternoon.
That prize went to a handful of special-interest donors from the 95814 ZIP code in Sacramento, which had put more than $300,000 into the race chiefly because of large sums that have flowed from union-affiliated political action committees to groups supporting David Alvarez and Nathan Fletcher.
The 20036 area code in Washington, D.C., came in a close third behind Sacramento and La Jolla.
The data tool considers itemized contributions through Oct. 5 and donations of $1,000 or more from Oct. 6 forward.
The money leader remains Alvarez, with $1.04 million from supporters to his candidate committee and political-action groups. His top donor remains the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, with $250,000 from Washington and $175,000 from Sacramento.
He is followed by Fletcher, who has reported recent donations of $25,000 from real estate developer and businessman Malin Burnham and $25,000 from the Southern California District Council of Labor.
Raising the least money among major candidates is Councilman Kevin Faulconer, with $818,000. He reports receiving a recent $60,000 donation from the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce's political committee.

Campbellsville Christian Church will host REJOICE! in concert on Sunday, Feb. 24 at 6:30 p.m. in the church sanctuary.
REJOICE! is from Mt. Washington, Ky. A love offering will be accepted.
Ice cubes floating in water. Rust on a vehicle. A rock slide. Science is everywhere. Anthony Farris knows that and so do his students at Campbellsville Elementary School.
"I try to look beyond what I see and think about the scientific aspect."
Farris, 47, said he strives to get his students to think that way, too.
"I want them to not just see what's there, but to think deeper, to think about the how and why."
From the Heart, a ladies ensemble from Campbellsville, will be performing at Campbellsville Baptist Church on Friday, March 7.
The group is made up of Gail Godsey, Darlene Netherland, Krisinda Jeffries, Debbie Lawson and Linda Mings. The Rev. Tim Shockley provides accompaniment.
The performance, which begins at 7 p.m., will benefit The Caring Place, a shelter for abused women and children in Marion County. Admission is free, though an offering will be taken.
I have a theory that life revolves around dinner. For example, every morning, right after breakfast and before I've even eaten lunch, I'll ask my husband, "What do you want for dinner?"
Recently, we wanted to get together with some friends - so we went out to dinner. And while we ate dinner we talked about other dinners we've eaten and restaurants we haven't yet tried but plan on going to - for dinner.
See what I mean?
First Baptist Church on Broadway will host a B.O.M.B. - Bringing Our Men Back - service on Sunday.
The goal of the service is encourage men to be more involved in the church and community.
The Cleveland Street Dancers will be the featured guests.
The service begins at 11:15 a.m. with Sunday school beginning at 10 a.m.
Cover Me Clothing Store will host its grand opening today at 10 a.m. at 704 E. Broadway, beside First Baptist Church.
The store, a nonprofit organization, is for people who are in immediate need of clothing items due to fire, eviction or other emergency situations.
Donations are also welcome to help replenish items.

Campbellsville University
The Rev. Gerald Joiner, Campbellsville University alumnus and member of the CU Church Relations Council, said, in a recent address, that he believes Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. would not be satisfied with the overall statistics today, which show far too many young black men in prisons and far too many teen pregnancies among young black women.
Joiner, a 1975 graduate of CU, delivered the annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Worship Service in Campbellsville University's Ransdell Chapel on Wednesday,Jan. 23.
Good news! Thanks to the marvels of modern science we now know that forgiveness is not only good for the soul, but it's good for the body, too.
According to results from a forgiveness study conducted at Stanford University, those who go through "forgiveness interventions" - sessions in which people who have been hurt are encouraged to develop more positive feelings toward their offenders - can improve cardiovascular function, lessen chronic pain, relieve depression, lower blood pressure and improve overall health.
No matter how busy her days get, Wanda Washington always makes time for her family.
Not only is she a wife and mother of four, she has a full-time job as an in-home therapist at Adanta, she works part-time as coordinator of Greater Campbellsville United, she is president of the Campbellsville Business and Professional Women and an assistant regional director for BPW and she is district president for the Kentucky PTA.
And if that's not enough, Washington, 54, also teaches an adult Sunday school class and is a member of the usher board at Pleasant Union Baptist Church.
St. Thomas Episcopal Church, 116 S. Columbia Ave., will present a series of programs during the Lenten season (40 days prior to Easter) titled "Caring for God's Creation."
"We hope to encourage those attending to shape their own personal theology for understanding and caring for the many gifts God has given us - our land, our food chain, all of God's people, as a way of broadening our efforts to reach out to God's world," said the Rev. Karl Lusk, pastor.
Baptist Campus Ministries at Campbellsville University will host the 14th annual dinner theater, "Welcome to the Table," on Friday, Feb. 15 at 7 p.m. in the Winters Dining Hall of the E. Bruce Heilman Student Complex.
The program, an oral and visual presentation including sounds and images from the CU historical archives, will be presented by Campbellsville University students.
The cost will be $15 per person or $25 for a couple with all proceeds going toward domestic and international missions.
I am a recovering nice person. As a former nice person, I rarely said no to anything, even (and especially) to things I really, really, really didn't want to do.
Because I couldn't stand the thought of someone possibly thinking badly of me for saying no, I've done some things I had no business doing - heading up committees, teaching a class, organizing a rummage sale.
Three local congregations will observe the beginning of the Lenten season, the 40 days preceding Easter, with an Ash Wednesday service at 7 p.m. on Feb. 6 at St. Thomas Episcopal Church, 116 S. Columbia Ave.
Bethel First Presbyterian Church, Fannie Chapel Christian Methodist Episcopal Church and the host congregation will join in the traditional Ash Wednesday liturgy and imposition of ashes; the Rev. Jim Murphy, pastor of Bethel First Presbyterian Church, will be the preacher. Pastors Delmetria Cayson-Combs and Karl Lusk will be the worship leaders.
The day my husband's hope shattered I heard the crash and came running.
He was in the kitchen replacing the fluorescent light bulbs over the sink, and when he went to put back the plastic cover, it slipped from his hands and fell, hitting his favorite coffee cup that was on the counter.
The cup went sailing and hit the tile floor, breaking into too many pieces to put back together.
Yeah, yeah. It's just a coffee cup and doesn't warrant such melodrama.
But it does.
Baptists who want to know more about their heritage and history will be excited to learn that Campbellsville University has a world-class Baptist historian returning as scholar in residence, according to Dr. John Hurtgen, dean of the School of Theology at CU.
Dr. Morgan Patterson is a historian whose specialty is Baptist history. He has written for the Encyclopedia of Southern Baptists, Baptist History and Heritage and a number of other publications that focus on either church history or Baptist history in particular.

Plans are being developed to open a beignet and coffeehouse in downtown Houma.
The shop will occupy the space that was formerly The Duke, a hamburger restaurant at 7819 Main Street, that closed in March, said Michael Valencia, who is pursuing the project with a business partner. A timeline has not been established.

On most movies there are no issues but when playing *some* 1080p movies it stutters under fast action scenes.
I am using version 1.60.0, q6600 CPU with full buffer, 4GB of ram, defragmented hard drives and an Intel CT gigabit card + gigabit switch. PS3 setup as gigabit as well with all MTU set at 1470.
When watching a 1080p DTS version of Cars, in the opening scene, the PS3 shows the bitrate going over 400mbps and it starts to stutter for a few seconds. Checking task manager, it shows the network utilization capping out at 12.5%. With 1.54.0 network usage would go to 25% but it would occasionally freeze video but keep playing the audio... I tried setting maximum bandwidth to "3000" just for fun but now the network usage caps out at 5% and the bitrate is a constant 50mbps. I'm wondering what is going on with this configuration and hoping somebody else has come across this issue! Nothing should be artificially limiting usage to exactly 12.5% that I can see.
To give back to the community, I've seen people complain about FLAC playback issues (corrupted data) after 1.51.0. The solution is to change your audio files engines settings to move "Mplayer audio" up above "FFmpeg audio".

As long as you're refactoring everything, a few observations based on my adventures with feeding commandlines (no doubt you've considered all these in some form already, I mention them in the spirit of aspiring to make pmsencoder akin to greasemonkey):
- All-purpose downloader and transcoder protocols for arbitrary commandlines, which shouldn't really require custom scripts, would be nice. The logic of it would be that any commandline that runs ok in the user's terminal can be dropped as-is into WEB.conf with keywords DOWNLOADER_OUT and TRANSCODER_OUT to be filled-in by the script, e.g. ideally
- Code: Select all
// videostream.Web,foo=foo,downloader://"c:\some where\foo.exe" -o DOWNLOADER_OUT
script {
profile ('downloader') {
pattern {
protocol 'downloader'
action {
// all parsing/splitting/quote-matching/escaping handled internally by pmsencoder
$DOWNLOADER = $URI.split('://')[1].replace('DOWNLOADER_OUT', $DOWNLOADER_OUT)
and similarly for transcoder.groovy. In this scenario the "live news" rtmpdump commands would look like
- Code: Select all
videostream.Web,Live News=Aljazeera English,downloader:///usr/bin/rtmpdump -o DOWNLOADER_OUT -v -r etc...
and x11grab would simply be
- Code: Select all
videostream.Web,Screen=Screen,transcoder:///usr/bin/ffmpeg -f x11grab -r 30 -s 1920x1080 -i :0.0 TRANSCODER_OUT etc...
allowing -s, -r, etc to be set right in WEB.conf without too much fuss. Also anyone could then write a script in their preferred language as long as the output filename is passed on the commandline, e.g 'downloader://mydownloader.bat DOWNLOADER_OUT'.
- On the subject of running commandlines as-is I ran across org.apache.tools.ant.types.Commandline, which is small and provides reasonably robust parsing, quote-matching etc. It allows spaces in quoted blocks, strips outer quotes when splitting into lists, basically covers all the usual commandline tricks as one would expect. It would have to be extended for url processing, though (or maybe there's a better maven corollary?).
- Automatic support for arbitrary protocols would be nice, too. If a script declares "pattern { protocol 'foo' }" then it can be taken for granted that the action block attempts to handle it.
- I don't know if it's possible in groovypp, but @Grab() syntax for importing faraway external libs would really allow anything to be done inside a script without having to go upstream and patch pmsencoder itself. I tried all flavors of grape.Grab which work fine in groovy but not in pmsencoder. I defer to your expertise, maybe this can't be done due to groovypp's static nature, documentation seems to be non-existent.
Many thanks for this great plugin not to mention the highly instructive source code which is a pleasure to browse!

USPS Now Says it Won't Cut Saturday Mail Delivery, Blames Congress
Tiffany Kaiser

(Source: NBC Universal)
This move would have saved USPS about $2 billion annually
The United States Postal Service (USPS) was hoping to
axe Saturday mail deliveries
in an attempt to save money, but Congress isn't having it.
USPS announced today that the Board of Governors of the United States Postal Service met yesterday to talk about the Continuing Resolution for government funding. However, Congress didn't approve the new national delivery schedule.
The new national delivery schedule consisted of package deliveries Monday through Saturday and mail deliveries Monday through Friday starting August 5, 2013.
"Although disappointed with this Congressional action, the Board will follow the law and has directed the Postal Service to delay implementation of its new delivery schedule until legislation is passed that provides the Postal Service with the authority to implement a financially appropriate and responsible delivery schedule," said USPS.
"The Board believes that Congress has left it with no choice but to delay this implementation at this time. The Board also wants to ensure that customers of the Postal Service are not unduly burdened by ongoing uncertainties and are able to adjust their business plans accordingly."
Back in February of this year, USPS announced its plan to cut Saturday mail delivery to only five days per week (eliminating Saturday). It said this would save USPS about $2 billion annually.
For fiscal 2012, USPS saw a net loss of $15.9 billion (three times the loss record one year previous).
USPS has been in a financial decline mainly because of digital mail options, such a electronic letters, bills, etc. This eliminates costs of stamps and shipping charges.
Technology is taking over, and the issue is that USPS can't keep up. In January, it was reported that
USPS wanted to be more digital-friendly
by working on a digital platform called MyPost, which will allow customers to log in and view all packages that they'll be receiving as well as those they've already received instead of searching several different sites that the packages may be coming from.
However, Paul Vogel, president of digital solutions at USPS, revealed that his office is like "a San Jose startup," with only 15 Android/Apple developers, consultants coming and going, one computer and his BlackBerry smartphone. Technological restrictions make upgrading hard to come by.

Digital Mail Service
In addition to what Moto posted, I am always amazed that they do not have some form of 'official' mail service in place.
1) Everyone gets a free acct, but to set it up you need to go into the post office with a valid ID.
2) Proper security and encryption techniques are used in order to keep informaiton private (unlike normal email which is more like a post card).
3)You can only access your account from a limited number specific IP or MAC addresses (home, phone, office, etc.)
4) While everyone gets a free (with adds?) acct, you cannot send more than ~50 messages from the account per month. If you need to send more messages than that then you pay a fee based upon volume. The fee also has to do with the content of the email; The phone company can send things like bills to customers for free, but adds to get people to upgrade service cost extra, and people must have an opt-out option.
5) Business mail addresses
(joe.bob@duk eenergy.usps
) are not free. Business must pay a yearly fee for the service, a fee for the number of email addresses, and a fee for the volume of emails sent in total. Not big fees, but enough to make scammers annoyed enough to stay out of the system, and to pay for whatever filtering and policing needs to be put in place.
6) Give options to have some amount of physical mail scanned and emailed rather than delivered. Make it selective by the company or persons sending the mail. Junk mail should be able to be filtered out.
7) Make it a closed system. Only usps accounts can mail other usps accounts.
This would not replace a good old relatively anonomus email account which you would use for things like personal communication, but it would create a relatively secure (at least as secure as physical mail is) means to conduct official business via email without the worries of scammers, spam, etc. You would be able to know when your message was received and opened if you want. While anyone could essentially message anyone with just knowledge of a name, messaging caps, billable options, and policing/reporting would be able to keep the spam down to a minimum number of legitimate offers rather than all of the trash that fills our boxes today.
Not saying it would work for everyone or everything, but it would provide a new income stream, cut down on physical mail volume without replacing it, and provide a more trustworthy way to communicate so that when a spam bot claims to be my bank I will easily be able to know it.
"If you can find a PS3 anywhere in North America that's been on shelves for more than five minutes, I'll give you 1,200 bucks for it." -- SCEA President Jack Tretton

The person who sent a SWAT team to Justin Bieber's and Ashton Kutcher's houses is 12.
That's right -- they got punked by a kid who probably doesn't know he's about to hit puberty.
TMZ reported the boy-- who was arrested for pranking 911 authorities into thinking there was an emergency at the two residences -- comes from an "incredibly dysfunctional" family and that the child "sits at his computer day and night, communicating with other hackers."
Maybe he encountered some of Bieber's and Kutcher's work and thought they should be arrested for it.
The Los Angeles County district attorney has not officially charged him with the crime. "It's currently still under investigation; our detectives are in contact with the LAPD detectives in regard to their arrest," Beverly Hills Police Lt. Lincoln Hoshino said.
That's right -- he's a Beverly Hills cop.
Bieber and Kutcher weren't the only famous people who were victims of swatting incidents this year. Miley Cyrus, Charlie Sheen and Simon Cowell were all targeted in 2012 for similar prank calls.
PAUL SIMON PERFORMS AT TEACHER'S FUNERAL: Paul Simon performed Wednesday at the funeral of a teacher killed during Friday's Connecticut school shooting.
Victoria Soto was one of the six staff members killed at Newtown's Sandy Hook Elementary, where 20 elementary school children were also shot to death by suspected gunman Adam Lanza. Several of the children have already been laid to rest, and on Wednesday, Soto's friends and family gathered in the town of Stratford to remember the 27-year-old teacher.
According to WENN.com, Simon was among the mourners at the Lordship Community Church, where he performed Soto's favorite song "The Sounds of Silence."
Simon knows the Soto family through his sister-in-law, according to the New York Daily News. Soto is being called a hero for attempting to shield her students from the gunfire before she was killed.
SIMON COWELL NOT AT ALL GOING STEADY WITH CARMEN ELECTRA: Simon Cowell is dating Carmen Electra.
Apparently some brains, money and a lot of bluster can go a long way.
After much speculation, Simon Cowell finally confirmed to Ryan Seacrest on Wednesday that he's dating Carmen Electra, according to MSN.com. But they're not exclusive.
"She's not my girlfriend," Cowell, 53, explained when he called in to the "On-Air with Ryan Seacrest" radio show. "We're people who date."
I don't know. It sounds like he may ask her to the prom.
"She's adorable, isn't she?" he asked Seacrest of the 40-year-old actress/model.
She sure is -- once you get past the fact that she was once married to Dennis Rodman.
She apparently likes Cowell, too.
She talked about their relationship on "Access Hollywood Live." "He's so cute. He is adorable. He's actually a sweetheart," the former "Baywatch" star explained. "The thing is, we worked together on 'Britain's Got Talent.' I was a guest judge, and I had so much fun. I really liked him. I think he's really cool."
Electra ended her four-year engagement with metal musician Rob Patterson earlier this year. She was also once married to rocker Dave Navarro.
Cowell ended his engagement earlier this year to make up artist Mezhgan Hussainy.
KATIE HOLMES OUT WITH A MAN: Katie Holmes may be dating someone who doesn't jump on furniture.
The actress, ex-wife of Tom Cruise and mom to 6-year-old daughter Suri was spotted with a "handsome guy" who walked her inside her New York City apartment building late Saturday night and lingered while they said an extended goodbye, according to the New York Daily News.
"They were saying a long, long good night, talking and looking pretty romantic in the lobby around 2 a.m.," an eyewitness said. "He looked like a finance type, was wearing classic Cole Haan shoes and a Navy pea coat. He walked her to the elevator and then she said 'good night' and smiled."
No tonsil hockey?
The witness also said Holmes, who turned 34 on Tuesday, looked "gorgeous," dressed simply in a white Burberry trench with jeans and flats and was leaning against the wall "twirling her hair with one leg up. She was very pretty and very flirty."
Holmes' rep told the Daily News that, despite the so-called flirtations, the man in question was Holmes' gay best friend.
There's a Tom Cruise joke just sitting there that our lawyer probably wouldn't want me to go anywhere near.
Speaking of Cruise, he was on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" Tuesday, in full crazy Cruise mode, playing water war with Fallon using an enormous water gun and getting a pitcher of water dumped on his face.
No word on whether things escalated into shirtless, slow-motion volleyball.
BEN AFFLECK DROPS OUT OF KRISTEN STEWART MOVIE: Kristen Stewart has been dumped by Ben Affleck.
Well ... sort of.
Affleck's people confirmed to Entertainment Weekly that Affleck has dropped out of the film "Focus," in which he was to star opposite Stewart.
Somewhere, Robert Pattinson just let out an enormous sigh.
The story is about an experienced con artist who teaches a young female protegee the tricks of the trade ... and they probably have sex along the way, because most con artists don't look like Ben Affleck and Kristen Stewart.
This comes not long after Stewart announced her involvement in the film and sounded kind of excited ... you know, for Kristen Stewart.
Affleck's rep says he has to drop out due to scheduling conflicts. He has directing projects on his plate, including the thriller "Tell No One" and an adaptation of Dennis Lehane's "Live By Night.").
"Focus" is currently scheduled to begin filming in April. No word on who might replace Affleck.
KIM KARDASHIAN UPSET WITH INSTAGRAM: I don't want to scare anyone ... but you might want to sit down for this. Kim Kardashian is considering shutting down her Instagram account.
(Explosions! Screaming! People running! CHAOS!!!!!)
Actually, Instagram is likely taking notice of Kardashian's threat, since she has more followers -- 5 million -- than anyone on the photo-sharing service by a wide margin. Kardashian says she'll switch to another social media photo company unless Instagram revises its new policies that has everyone's pants in a bunch.
Instagram has been under fire this week after announcing a new policy that seems to give the company power to sell user photos to outside companies without having to compensate the user. Instagram said this interpretation of the policy was not true and apologized for the "confusing" language. Instagram says it's revising the wording and will release a new terms of service in the near future.
But Kardashian isn't convinced (she's a wily one) and is telling friends she's thinking about shutting down her Instagram account and taking her followers elsewhere.
"I really loved Instagram :-( I need to review this new policy," she wrote on Twitter. "I don't think its fair."
Notice the past tense there?
Kardashian has way more followers on Instagram than second-place member Justin Bieber (4,366,729) and President Barack Obama (1,834,079).
And, unfortunately for society, where one Kardashian goes, others soon follow. Her sisters Khloe, Kylie, Kendall and brother Rob are also in the Top 10 most followed on the site.
Half of Instagrams top 10 are named Kardashian. Why, America? Why?
TMZ's source said Kardashian is still waiting to see what happens before making the big decision. Your move, Instagram.

Arriving fairly early, we settled into our seats toward the front of the pavilion and took in the sights as we awaited the first set. My mom noticed a couple of kids bumping rails of white powder off the back of their hands and pointed them out to me. I chuckled as I pondered whether they would have shared the love or brushed my mom off as a narc if she had asked them for drugs. During the first set I was more interested in gauging my parents' reaction to the show than actually listening to it. As a consequence, the most musically intriguing part of this set for me was the cover of Little Feat's "On Your Way Down."
My mom, on the other hand, loved every note. She had at one time been a physical education teacher and to my great joy declared during "Limb by Limb" that she felt inspired by the music to resume teaching interpretive dance. Dad's reaction was not quite as good. Over the years his tastes had migrated towards the works of Willie Nelson and talk radio. He thought that Phish was good, but that everything was "a little too loud and flashy." In an effort to modulate the volume and minimize the visual overload of the light show, he spent the bulk of the second set in the concession area. This was a minor disappointment to me, but I understood that Phish just isn't for everybody, and he seemed to have enjoyed himself.
The second set was pretty damn good, with the "Also Sprach Zarathustra" being the high point. It went places I had never heard it go before. Mr. Kuroda set an incredibly thick ultraviolet tone to the whole thing that just spun me for a loop. As hard as I tried to resist it, I could not fight the power this trance-house groove-laden jam had over me, and I completely forgot my mom was there. In that moment, as she watched my unique version of interpretive dance, I believe she grasped why the band is such an important component of my life; it is both a source of and an outlet for completely unconditional love.

John Seykora (U Penn)
Special Seminar
John Seykora
Dr. John Seykora is Associate Professor of Dermatology and Pathology at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. He is a graduate of the Cornell-Rockefeller University MD PhD program performing his thesis work with Drs. Alan Aderem and Jeffrey Ravetch. Dr. Seykora received his post-graduate clinical training at the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center and post-doctoral training at the Wistar Institute and University of Pennsylvania with Dr. Paul Stein. His research examines the role of tyrosine kinase signaling in skin cancer and his laboratory discovered a novel negative regulator of tyrosine kinases name Srcasm (Src-activating and signaling molecule). Srcasm regulates the levels of activated tyrosine kinases through lysosomal degradation. Further research has shown that signaling through the Src kinase/Srcasm axis regulates squamous cell carcinoma formation and this pathway is regulated in parallel manner in corresponding human lesions.
Modeling Squamous Cell Carcinoma Provides Biological and Therapeutic Insights.
Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma is the second most common cancer in humans with approximately 650,000 cases per year in the US. Treatment of these lesions consumes hundreds of millions of dollars per year and creates substantial morbidity and mortality. We have generated models of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma using genetically engineered mice and human organotypic skin to understand this disease at a fundamental level. Study of these models has produced mechanistic insights leading to novel therapeutic approaches. This presentation will discuss how Src kinase signaling and its interaction with Srcasm regulate squamous cell carcinoma; these studies have led to new therapeutic approaches using topical small molecule kinase inhibitors.

Trying to stop a service via the Get-Service cmdlet to a remote server.
Both 2008R2
Logged in as Domain Admin
Get-Service -ComputerName NAME -Name "IBM Cognos" | Stop-service -Verbose
I get this
WARNING: Waiting for service 'IBM Cognos (IBM Cognos)' to finish stopping...
But it never stops
If I run this locally it works great but heres the whole story <quick one>
I have two servers each with a single service that must come down in a specific order and then come back up in a specific order.
I was hoping with using the command listed above that it would wait for the local service to quit then send the command the second server to stop the service. Instead of using a wait command in a batch file since if the service doesn't stop in the time allotted it can corrupt data.
Any ways thanks for the help in advance.
Stop-Service does not work on a remote computer.
The only service cmdlets that work remotely are get- and set-
PS> Get-Help *service -Parameter computername | select name
if you want to stop a service on a remote computer
Get-Service BITS -ComputerName myserver | Set-Service -Status "Stopped"
see examples 5 & 6 in
get-help set-service -full
Thanks for the quick reply, I will have to check out the BITS option
Here is what I was toying with to see if this would work
Enter-PSSession <server>Get-Service -Name W32TimeGet-Service -Name W32Time | Stop-Service -VerboseGet-Service -Name W32TimeWrite-Host TestingGet-Service -Name W32TimeGet-Service -Name W32Time | Start-Service -VerboseGet-Service -Name W32TimeExit-PSSession
There is a limitation on the sessions one can enter in to , 5 . I changed that to 50 and didnt have an error with open sessions. Other then that it seems to work.
If anyone else has any ideas please post. I am trying to keep this all in side PowerShell also not calling psexec or something like that.
This is the final version of the script. The invoke command worked great and I think I will be using this more in the future.
#-- The purpose of this script is to restart services in a special sequence#-- Load modulesGet-Module -ListAvailable | Import-Module#-- Clear Screencls#-- Declare Variables#-- Start ScriptInvoke-Command -ComputerName <server name> -ScriptBlock { Get-Service -Name "service" | Stop-Service -Verbose}I may not need the verbose in there since I will be calling this from a script but for testing it was nice to see messages
BITS is the name of a service as an example
You don't need to use invoke-command to stop remote services
Hmmm It didnt seem to work for me like that. Yep I understood BITS being the service name. From what I was reading that the Get-Service will not stop services on remote servers. Which is odd since the command is in cmdlet for it.
The Get-Service is much cleaner way I would think but didnt seem to work for me.
Any thoughts would be great.
You can stop services with Stop-Service and also with Set-Service. Set-Service can work locally and remotely. Stop-Service can only work locally.
So you should play with this:
set-service -Name Spooler -Status 'Stopped' -ComputerName targetcomputer
The only disadvantage in comparison to Stop-Service is that Set-Service is missing a -Force switch, so if a service has dependant services it will throw an error and will not stop. With Stop-Service, you can use -Force to stop the service regardless of dependant services.
Get-Service will not stop services at all. Thats not its job. The verb is Get which means it gets information.
As I said at the start of my original reply
"Stop-Service does not work on a remote computer."
If you want to stop a service on a remote machine you have a number of options:

As thousands of anglers plan to hit the water for this weekend's fishing opener, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) reminds everyone to be safe and responsible every time they step into a boat.
Lack of life jacket use is the number one contributing factor to boating deaths in Minnesota. Since 2010, 43 people have died in boating accidents, 35 of those victims were not wearing life jackets.
"The message is simple – life jackets save lives," said Kara Owens, DNR boat and water safety specialist.
Life jackets today with inflatable, belt-pack inflatable and inflatable fishing vest options are comfortable, lightweight and don't get in the way while an angler casts a line.
"The walleye opener typically falls on Mother's Day weekend," Owens said. "Give your mom, sister, wife, kids, dad, or brother – anyone – a gift every day by wearing a U.S. Coast Guard approved life jacket while boating.
With the late thaw, ice or ice chunks could also be an issue on several lakes. Water temperatures are dangerous this time of year, Owens added. Falling into cold water can cause an immediate involuntary gasp for air and the shock of the icy water can also cause cardiac arrest, even for people in good health.
The DNR has a few tips for safe and responsible boating:
* State law requires a U.S. Coast Guard approved wearable life jacket for each person on board all watercraft.
* All children under 10-years-old are required to wear a Coast Guard approved life jacket while a boat is underway.
* Alcohol and boating don't mix.
* Keep an eye on the weather.
* If a watercraft becomes swamped or capsized, try to reboard or stay with the craft.
* Take a boater course and receive a boat education certificate.

PARKERSBURG - Getting to the Latrobe Street Mission is now easier for some with a new ramp and railing.
Greg Smith, a board of directors member, said the ramp was a move toward making the mission at 1825 Latrobe St. compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Smith said the mission statement of the Latrobe Street Mission is "to provide resources, opportunity and shelter to the homeless and developing community partnership demonstrating love for our neighbors."

Sister Cynthia Drennen, with the Sisters of St. Joseph Charitable Fund, spoke about the foundation's involvement with the project.
"We've been averaging in the mid 60s (number of people) staying here and we've had as many as 92, with 15 children," he said. "This is definitely a community asset. This is taking care of the homeless and children of our community."
Shad Martin, director of the mission, said the Latrobe Street Mission is about different organizations working together. He said the goal is to partner with more businesses and organizations to provide every asset to help individuals.
"About a year and a half ago the vision came that there was not a way, a real way, to get out of the situations they were in," he said. "We're developing the A to B Plan."
Article Map
Martin said the plan is simple, with the mission as point A and housing as point B. He said the plan helps people navigate the roadblocks, helping to prioritize what they need.
So far, he said, they have been able to place families in permanent housing.
"We know most people need a job to get housing but without an ID you can't even begin to look for a job," he said. "We are developing that case management so we can work with our residents to get to the end point that is back in society, working, having their own place and contributing back into the community."
Martin said the mission has two more projects in the planning stages, a kitchen project and transitional apartments and dormitories on the second floor.
Smith said what the mission has been able to accomplish, such as helping seven people finds jobs, is humbling.
Many businesses are donating their time and effort to the mission, he said, and individuals are giving of their time. He said the cost of the ramp and railing would have been $40,000 for the railing alone and $7,500 for the labor for the project.
"This is a phenomenal asset this community has," he said. "Everybody is working together to care and show love for our neighbors and those in need."
Smith said the ramp and railing would not have been possible without help from Williamstown First Baptist Church, Sisters of St. Joseph Charitable Fund and Conley Fabrication. Some of the money came from the mission's store, Twice As Good Thrift Store.
Sister Cynthia Drennen, of the St. Joseph Charitable Fund, said the mission is working toward a program similar to the Housing First movement. She said the movement is an acknowledgement that problems can't be solved if people are on the move.
"How can you get something mailed to you, get the forms filled, how can it follow you if you are on the move all the time," she said. "That sense of having a place, of having a home is very, very important and this is really the first step."
Drennen said the fund was able to give the mission a $5,000 discretionary grant to get the railing in place.
Roger Conley, owner of Conley Fabrication, said he was happy to be a small part of seeing the progress of the mission take place.
"I wanted to be more involved than just to simply help them to purchase some material," he said. "I looked over the facility and I was impressed with the work so many have done and I wanted my company to be part of that."

"We use the fluid lines cards as a part of our parish welcome ministry to new visitors. They are a handsome addition to other gifts that we provide. We have personalized the cards with our parish name and a simple "Thank you for attending" and then we personalize each card with a message to our new visitors. We have used these cards over a year now and have re-ordered them as necessary. An attractive, eye-catching yet simple design."
"The card stock was so thick - it looked fantastic. The first person I sent one too called me the next day to find out where she could get them for her company. It is a great combination of modern and traditional vibes packaged together perfectly."

AUGUSTA, Ga.-- (WRDW) The start of open enrollment for the Affordable Care Act begins October 1st. That means, if you don't currently have insurance, you can begin signing up at http://www.healthcare.gov for insurance from October 1, 2013 through March 31, 2014.
There's still a lot of confusion out there about who's eligible, what the new plans will look like, and what you should do to get coverage. News 12 is on your side, breaking down what you need to know.
News 12's Laura Warren spoke with Russell T. Head, an insurance broker in Augusta. He says, "The law today says come January 1st, 2014, you've got to have coverage, somehow, some way."
While Congress fights to push the deadlines around, or change pieces of the Affordable Care Act, Head says, the bottom line is healthcare reform is going to happen. That was set in stone back in 2012 when the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that the Affordable Care Act is constitutional, and necessary.
Denise D. Kornegay, Executive Director of the Georgia AHEC Network says, "I think the problem with the ACA is there's more fear out there than knowledge."
That's why Kornegay has made it her mission to learn all she can about the new law, and tell others. With so much information, misinformation, and confusion swirling around the country, she says, many don't even realize they are eligible to enroll.
"According to the projections, 75% of the people who are eligible to enroll tomorrow, are unaware that they're eligible," she said.
Anyone without insurance, who is a United States citizen (or lawfully present), who lives in the United States, and isn't currently incarcerated is eligible for insurance coverage in the new healthchare exchange. With 33,680 uninsured people in Richmond County, and more than 15,417 uninsured in Columbia county at the time of the 2012 U.S. Census,it's a law that will have a huge impact here.
Kornegay says, "According to something I heard at a meeting in Atlanta, Richmond Co. has the highest percentage of uninsured who are eligible for this."
And by law, starting January 1st, all of those people will have to have insurance, or pay a fine. It's $95 the first year, and the penalty will get more severe after that.
Kornegay says, "The second year it's $395, and the third year, it's $695."
Starting October 1st, if you don't have insurance, you need to go to http://www.healthcare.gov to sign up. But, don't expect a ton of options. This year, the Augusta area will only have two options for providers: Blue Cross and Blue Shield and Humana. Those are the only two providers in the Augusta area participating in the exchange this year.
Kornegay says, "People are really skittish right now in the insurance industry about what this is going to do and what this is going to mean."
But, in years to come, she expects to see more options on the healthcare exchange.
Stay tuned to News 12 for continuing coverage on the Affordable Care Act.

The Summit School District is waiting to hear whether it will have two more schools authorized by the International Baccalaureate program. Frisco Elementary and Silverthorne Elementary recently underwent evaluations to determine whether they meet the program's strict standards and merit authorization.
The IB program has three segments: pre-K through fifth grade, grades six through 10 and 11th and 12th grades. The purpose of the program, according to the website, is to "help develop intellectual, personal, emotional and social skills to live, learn and work in a rapidly globalizing world." It encourages what it calls "international-mindedness" in students and works to prepare them for the challenges of the modern age.
Currently, every school in the district has received authorization from the IB program, with the exception of Frisco Elementary, Silverthorne Elementary and the Snowy Peaks High School. The middle school and high school were authorized in 2004. Based on its success, the district then turned its attention to the elementary schools.
Authorization is a long process that requires a visit from representatives of the IB program to ensure that the correct policies and methods are in place. The elementary schools at Frisco and Silverthorne were reviewed in October and December, respectively. Though the official results won't be released until spring. Robin O'Meara, the district's director of instruction, is certain the answer will be positive.
"We're in very good shape," she said.
The IB program affects teachers just as much as students. Several levels of training are required for teachers participating in the program. It must be conducted by a certified IB trainer, meaning that sometimes the teachers must travel to Denver or even out of state. Within the Summit School District are coordinators that work with the teachers to meet the rigorous IB standards.
"The thing that makes it effective is the fact that they're coaching and mentoring the teachers in the IB program," O'Meara said. "That part is so essential for the consistency and the level of excellence and effectiveness."
If Silverthorne Elementary and Frisco Elementary are authorized, then every school within the district, with the exception of Snowy Peaks High School, will have full IB authorization. Only a small handful of schools nationwide carry the distinction of full-district authorization.
Even though technically the district cannot use the "full district authorization" label, O'Meara says it's still an impressive feat.
"We still are very unique, no question about it," she said.
The whole purpose of implementing the IB program at the district schools was to broaden the education of its students.
"It's really preparing kids for the world of college and career," O'Meara said. "It's not just about the academics, it's about who you are as a person and how you're going to interact with each other and the world. It gives them a world view."

Hi all!
At first, I want to say, that PMS dev team is doing a really great thing. Thank you, guys!
I'm using PMS 1.71 on Ubuntu Server 12.10 x64 with transcoding enabled for my PS3. And almost everything works just fine exept one little thing. I have some .mkv videos and external audio tracks for them in .mka format in the same folder. But when I watcing that videos through PS3 I can't switch sound to that external track. When played on Windows with Media Player Classic Homecinema, that track exist in video settings and I can switch to it. So, question is, does PMS support .mkv transcoding with external audio attached, and if it does, what I need to do to enable it?

Wednesday's letters: Too much hatred
Published: Wednesday, November 21, 2012 at 4:30 a.m.

Waging his own war
To the editor: Well, aint it just grand! The president is ending the war in Afghanistan and waging a war of revenge in his own country. Whats he mad about?
He thinks there are too many people making too much money: Tax them to death! He thinks there are too many babies being born: Abort them or prevent them from being conceived! And when it comes to marriage, he doesnt care who marries who or who marries what.
Then theres the U.S. Constitution. He doesnt pay attention to it, especially the part concerning freedom of religion. Otherwise, he would not have imposed the recent mandate on the Catholic Church.
The man needs prayers to Almighty God to save him from himself.

Political stripes
To the editor: I was shocked to see on voting day that columnist LeRoy Goldman picked Mitt Romney to win the election. Then the following Sunday, I was amused to see his lame excuse for so doing. The problem was that he overstated Barack Obamas weaknesses while overlooking Mr. Romneys crazy policies (if he really had some).
I give the Times-News credit for publishing columnists of both political stripes, though I do think there are more columns for the right than for the left.
I also saw on Nov. 11 that Charles Krauthammer is still in deep denial (along with many other right-wingers). We would all be better off if we paid more attention to Stephen Black and less to ostrich imitators like Krauthammer.
