Child accused of causing damage
Published: Friday, October 12, 2012 at 7:08 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, October 12, 2012 at 7:08 p.m.
A child younger than 11 broke into a Pierre Part lumber yard and drove a truck into another truck and a large garage door, causing heavy damage to the vehicles and building, the Assumption Sheriff's Office said.
The same child and another child about the same age also confessed to spraying fire extinguishers in the building, vandalizing a Jeep belonging to one of the store owners and vandalizing a car wash, deputies said.
One child, who was 10, was arrested this week on criminal damage to property and criminal trespassing charges after being accused of causing $11,000 worth of damage. He later was released to his mother. The other 9-year-old was not arrested because those under 10 are exempt from criminal responsibility, deputies said.
The Pierre Part vandalism was reported in September, and the Jeep vandalism was reported in August, deputies said.
Anyone with additional information is asked to contact Capt. Darren Crochet at 526-1627 or 369-2912.

OAKLAND -- Montclair Village will be awash in lights, Christmas trees and the spirit of the holiday season at the 10th annual Holiday Stroll from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Dec. 6.
"Festiveness starts in your neighborhood," said Tom Revelli, the owner of Montclair Sports. "It's not just about the decorations and trimmings. We can't compare with the big box stores."
"It's a celebration of community. It's a way of connecting merchants with the community," said Daniel Swafford, of the Montclair Village Association. "The Village Stroll is a unique experience, and in many ways more festive than a trip to the mall."
In keeping with Village tradition, about 40 merchants will welcome strollers into their shops, many offering food and drink and special discounts and promotional offers. Jennifer Sandstrom, the owner of Someone's in the Kitchen, will be busy baking her famous gingerbread cookies for the evening.
"It's great to see the community having a good time and getting together," she said. "It's a real party atmosphere."
There will be a multitude of musicians, singers and dancers in the street including performances by the Pacific Boychoir, Oakland School for the Arts, the Montera Middle School choir and the Bishop O'Dowd Brass Ensemble. Tap dancing trees will complete the festive spirit.
For the first time, Mountain Boulevard will be closed between Medau Place and La Salle Avenue to allow for easy access to the performances. The Golden State Fitness Center will transform into Santa's Village and some the athletes will be dressed for the part. Montclair resident Carolyn Winters likes the Holiday Stroll.
"It's great to see fellow neighbors," Winters said. "Everyone is out and about. It kick-starts my holiday spirit."
Village merchants also hope to remind residents that they are here and to shop local.
"We offer expertise and customer service that you can't always get at a big box store or online," Swafford said.
Revelli thinks "people are appreciative of the brick-and-mortar stores. You can buy sporting goods anywhere. But this is a family support network."

Love Sonnet 17
by Pablo Neruda
Love Sonnet 17 Introduction
In A Nutshell
In the fourteen lines that make up "Love Sonnet 17," Pablo Neruda uses the word "love" nine times. So yeah, we're going to go ahead and call this a love poem. The fact that it's written in Spanish – a language of love – makes it all the more romantic, but it's not totally suave. In fact, it wouldn't be Neruda if it weren't a little strange: in the poem, the speaker attempts to define loves is some rather odd ways, and, well, he fails. Can't win 'em all.
The Chilean poet Pablo Neruda was one of the premier South American poets of the twentieth century, and has come to be recognized as one of the most famous Spanish-speaking poets of all time. He had a gift for writing about love, a talent he first showcased in 1924 (when he was only 19!) when he published 20 Love Poems and a Song of Despair (Veinte poemas de amor y una canción desesperada), a book that contained twenty love poems and, as you might have guessed, a song of despair.
While Neruda is best-known these days for his beautifully sensual and erotic love poetry, he did write about other things. He was active in Chilean politics for much of his life, and his poetry explores a very wide range of historical subjects, much of it tinged with his strong communist beliefs. In the 1960s, when Neruda began to be recognized in the United States, it was primarily his political poetry that brought him attention (largely because of the political turmoil in the US at the time).
"Love Sonnet 17" is part of Neruda's collection of 100 Love Sonnets, published in 1960 as Cien sonetos de amor. Neruda divided the book into four parts, Morning (Mañana), Afternoon (Mediodía), Evening (Tarde), and Night (Noche), and number 17 found its way into Morning. This sonnet, along with the other ninety-nine, was written for Matilde Urrutia, Neruda's third wife. (We're not sure if being married three times makes him more or less qualified to write about love.) But their love wasn't as pure as the poem might make it seem: Neruda actually cheated on his second wife with Urrutia. Maybe that's the secret he keeps talking about? You decide.
Why Should I Care?
No matter how hard we (and every cheesy romantic comedy writer on earth) try, we can't ever seem to define love. Pablo Neruda gives it another shot in "Love Sonnet 17," but he can't seem to get it either – and he's a poet, for crying out loud. What we learn from this poem is that love is a mystery no matter how particular we get. It's not just a matter of distinguishing between love for precious gems and love for humans (which Neruda does), it's about trying to understand your own personal experience with love; and here, the speaker just can't do it. No matter how secure we are in our in our love for someone (like, say, their hands are our hands and their eyes see our dreams), that doesn't mean we can explain this love in words. We just feel it.

With thousands of grocery workers walking off their jobs at Raley's and Nob Hill stores in a bitter dispute over wages and benefits on Sunday, pickets successfully turned away many shoppers at stores from Gilroy to South Lake Tahoe, throughout the Bay Area and elsewhere in Northern California.
The strike by the union representing 7,500 workers began Sunday morning after the company unilaterally imposed new terms -- after 15 months of failed negotiations. The Sacramento-based company declares it needs to cut costs due to the heightened competition in the grocery business. Union members, conversely, say they're determined to at least keep current contract terms and not go backward.
"We are not asking for any raises," said Stan Cooper, who's worked as a butcher at Raley's and Nob Hill for 31 years and was picketing the Campbell Nob Hill on Sunday afternoon. "We're working on keeping our current health and welfare benefits."
So deep is the division that Raley's and the United Food and Commercial Workers Union Local 5 could not even agree on what the sticking points of negotiations are or on what the company's final offer is.
If the effect of the strike on business at the Campbell store was any indication, many shoppers sympathize with the workers. Passing motorists and drivers in the parking lot honked their horns or gave numerous thumbs-up signs in support. Inside the sprawling store on West Campbell Avenue and San Tomas Aquino Road, check-out lines were non-existent.
"We are going to shop somewhere else until this is over," said Mike Lamica of Saratoga, who with his wife, Debby, didn't even park their car when they spotted pickets. Normally, they shop at the Campbell Nob Hill every Sunday.
They love the Raley's stores, known for many qualities, including their tall, accommodating grocery baskets. But Debby Lamica said she also appreciates the whole shopping experience. "The people are really friendly," she said, "the products are good and the prices are good."
Cutback fears
Apologetic shoppers who hurried past the line of pickets explained that they had to pick up a cake, that they just needed a particular item or they didn't have time to shop elsewhere.
Virginia Cherf was buying ice cream and sugar cones that she said no other store carried. Despite living in Los Gatos, Cherf said she loves to shop at the Campbell Nob Hill because of the produce and the prices.
The strike affects 90 of the company's 120 Raley's, Nob Hill and Bel Air markets in Northern California and Nevada, including 15 in the East Bay and nine on the Peninsula and in the South Bay.
Founded in 1935 in Placerville, Raley's claims it opened the first self-service meat counter with pre-packaged meat in 1947. The grocery chain says it was among the first in the nation to open a supermarket-drug store "superstore" in 1974, to open its own warehouse store and to offer an online shopping service that features a drive-up delivery to customers' cars. They say they were also among the first to add gas stations at markets.
Local 5 members said they worry the privately owned company is trying to cut back health benefits for workers and retirees.
"I'm fighting for my benefits," said deli clerk Sonia Khoury, who began picketing at 9:30 a.m. Sunday and planned to stay until 7 p.m.
A company spokesman said that workers were being misinformed, that the imposed terms do not affect health benefits.
Raley's needs to cut costs, spokesman John Segale said. "We're facing severe competition." Since 2008, when the last contract with the clerks union was adopted, more than 240 non-union stores -- like Walmart, Target and Whole Foods -- have opened or expanded, he said. Raley's imposed contract will freeze pay increases for two years and eliminate premium pay for Sundays and holidays, he said -- although Sunday shifts will still pay double time. He said the company made its last best offer four weeks ago. Receiving no response from the union and after talks with a federal mediator failed, he said, Raley's unilaterally imposed the new pay terms on Sunday.
"We're frustrated that they've gone on strike," Segale said. The company only wants the union to put the offer to a vote by the membership, Segale said, which the union has refused.
No vote
That's not so, Local 5 spokesman Ron Lind said. "This is an unfair labor practices strike," he said. "The company is bargaining in bad faith, intimidating and interrogating members." He said that the union also objects to an inferior benefits plan that -- while not yet part of the imposed contract -- would be administered by the company, rather than jointly with the union.
"We are not at impasse," Lind said. The union didn't put the company's final offer to a vote because it's worse than what was offered in the summer, when members authorized a strike.
Segale said the clerks' union rejected what other Raley's workers, including those in other unions, have accepted.
One thing both sides seemed to agree on: They love the store and their work.
"It's a great company," said Campbell deli manager Ida Ghanim, picketing her store. "I enjoy my job. We do customer service because we enjoy it."
And the two sides agree on something else. As Cooper said, "We all want to get back to work."

THOUSAND OAKS -- Bradley Wiggins of Britain won the Tour of California on Sunday after holding the lead for the final week.
The 2012 Tour de France winner finished in the pack in 20th place in the eighth and final stage captured by compatriot Mark Cavendish. This was Wiggins' first title since the seven-day Tour of Britain last September.
"I had an incredible team behind me," said Wiggins, who last competed in the Tour of California in 2008 but withdrew because of illness. "They were there every day, and without them I wouldn't be in this position now. You can't do it on your own."
Wiggins, who rides for Sky, defeated Australia's Rohan Dennis of Garmin-Sharp by 30 seconds in the 720-mile race that began May 11 in Sacramento. American Lawson Craddock of Giant-Shimano was third overall, 1 minute, 48 seconds behind.
Wiggins is a four-time Olympic track and road cycling gold medalist. It's not clear if the 34-year-old cyclist will ride in the Tour de France, which begins July 5.
Wiggins moved into the lead after his dominating individual time trial in Stage 2. It was his first stage victory of the season.
"It's always nice to wear a yellow jersey," he said. "I set my sights on winning the Tour of California. I wanted to add my name to the guys who have gone before. At age 34, it's still nice to be winning bike races."
Cavendish, a 25-time Tour de France stage winner, won by a few inches for his second stage victory of the race. He completed the 76-mile leg in 2 hours, 53 minutes, 50 seconds.
The last stage featured three 21-mile circuits in Ventura County, each with a 910-foot ascent. The day ended with three 4.6-mile circuits around Westlake Village.
Germany's John Degenkolb of Giant Shimano was second in the final stage, and Slovakia's Peter Sagan of Cannondale was third, both in the same time.
American Lawrence Warbasse of BMC crashed twice early in the stage. The last time, he fell over a guardrail on a descent and abandoned the race. The ninth annual event began with 128 riders competing on 16 teams.
The race took the field on a north-to-south route and included three straight days of temperatures exceeding 100 degrees.
Thirteen riders didn't complete the eighth stage.

AVON, Colorado - Heroes run into harm's way to help others, and Dr. Gary Kitching was a hero.
On Wednesday, the third anniversary of Kitching's death at the hands of convicted murderer Richard "Rossi" Moreau, many of the emergency responders at the Sandbar on Nov. 7, 2009 gathered to honor Kitching.
"When faced with decisions about whether to be brave and courageous or cowardly, most of us hope we'd choose bravery," said District Attorney Mark Hurlbert. "Gary Kitching made the choice to act with bravery."
Gary and Lani Kitching were headed home to Carbondale, but stopped at the Sandbar to watch the USC football game, Gary's alma mater. When Moreau's behavior became unbearable, Kitching went outside to find the game on their satellite radio so they could listen as they drove home. He ran back inside when the shooting started.
"He came back inside to see if his wife was alive. When he came around that corner he was faced with the cowardice of Rossi Moreau. It is fitting and right that we honor him this day," Hurlbert said.
When Moreau began shooting it was loud, chaotic and Lani Kitching took cover behind a couch. She didn't know what had happened until several minutes after it was over, she said.
"I didn't see anything. I had my head down. I only heard the gunshots," she said after Wednesday's ceremony. "I thought he was outside. I didn't know he'd been shot until I was escorted out."
Moreau was convicted of murder and will spend his life in prison. That's as it should be, said Kitching's daughter, Allison Kitching, who drove all the way from Utah for Wednesday's ceremony.
"My dad was a fair man and he'd want him to be punished", Allison said. "I appreciate that they honored my dad."
Moreau was filmed on the Sandbar's security video system killing Kitching and wounding others. When the local SWAT team stormed the bar and captured him, he asked that they kill him.
Moreau blamed his rampage on Vietnam trauma. Ironically, Kitching served as a doctor in the U.S. Navy during Vietnam.
Love and bravery
A few months after Moreau's murderous rampage through the Sandbar, first responders were honored for their quick response and bravery.
At that ceremony, Avon Police Lt. Greg Daly told a crowded room that Kitching was the real hero that day.
Moreau was filmed on the Sandbar's security video system stalking through the bar brandishing a 1911 Springfield .45, caliber handgun, modified to hold 13 rounds.
While everyone else was running outside, trying to get away from Moreau and the death he was distributing, Kitching ran back inside to find his wife, Lani.
Moreau shot Gary Kitching three times, once in the hip and twice more after Kitching was on the floor only a few feet away. He died less than 10 feet from his wife.
"Nov. 7, 2009 was traumatic and tragic for the family. Many of the team members are former military and it was one of the most intense incidents we've ever been involved with," Daly said.
The SWAT team assembled outside the Sandbar. It took several minutes before they could storm the bar and take Moreau alive.
"We went in because we were trained to do it, because it was our duty to do it."
"He went in because of his bravery and the love of his wife," Daly told Lani. "He died a brave and heroic death out of his love for you."
Wednesday's ceremony was in the Avon library, a fitting site, Lani said.
"There couldn't have been a more perfect place to hold this than a library. He loved libraries and he loved to read."

AUSTIN (October 28, 2012)—Travis County State District Judge John Dietz has some deceptively simple questions to answer about how Texas finances public schools in the current lawsuit.
Article 7 of the Texas Constitution requires the Legislature to "make suitable provision for the support and maintenance of an efficient system of public free schools."
Dietz must decide what amount of money is suitable, and how to define efficient.
Most observers expect he will rule the school finance system inadequate.
The only question is how he will do it, and how much he will expect lawmakers to change it.
Whatever the outcome, the losing side will certainly appeal to the Texas Supreme Court while in the meantime lawmakers will spend this spring drafting a new budget for public schools.

It's a … Home!
My home is undergoing a rebirth. It's painful, long and decidedly unpredictable.
Most people might call it a renovation. But it's more than that. It's a new incarnation of what was formerly four walls and a roof into a home.
The rebirth is born of necessity — a leaky roof, drafty windows and stained broadloom carpet that harbored more than I wanted to consider within its fibers…

Compiled by Ducks Unlimited Canada
Spring arrived one to two weeks late in most of Canada, which delayed some migrants. In British Columbia, most wintering ducks have now departed and have been replaced by breeders such as cinnamon and blue-winged teal. Although late to arrive in the Western Boreal Forest, early breeders are taking advantage of good conditions. Conditions are even better in Prairie Region, where the breeding season is in full swing and farmers are behind schedule. In Eastern Canada, record flood events have taken place in Ontario, migration is almost finished in Québec and peak hatch should occur soon in Atlantic Canada.

Migrate From Oracle Solaris 11 To Oracle Database 11gR2
By Markus Weber on Aug 01, 2012
Wait. What ?
Of course, even if you know only very little about IT, that just doesn't make sense, does it ?
How can you migrate from an operating system to a database ?
Well, technically, you can't.
But migrating your focus from one product to another at your company, that you can.
And that's what I did, as of today.
I joined the Database Product Marketing team at Oracle. Its core product.
That's after a bit more than 4 fantastic years focusing on Solaris, first as Technical Marketing Manager (at Sun), then as Product Marketing Manager (at Oracle).
The Oracle Solaris team achieved a lot recently, as I wrote about in my 2011 review.
I'm pretty sure Oracle Solaris will stay the #1 Enterprise OS for still a long time to come !
But, from now on, I plan to have interesting things to write about the most successful database on the planet.
It's almost back to the roots, in a way. In my first job out of college, I actually was a certified Oracle DBA.

Believe it or not, this was David Bowie's first acting role in a motion picture, despite the fact that this film was released a year after THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH.A large portion of this film was destroyed in a fire, so it took director Hemmings nearly three years to piece together a motion picture out of what remained.With that in mind, this is a remarkable film, and one can't help but wonder what the finished product might have been like had it not been for the fire.For what is most intriguing about this film is the use of real footage of the Weimar Republic Germany in all its glorious decadence and decay.Whether this footage was used to buffer the missing footage or planned from the beginning, I guess we'll never know, but it brings an invaluable airof absurdity and black humour to what is already a pretty outrageous film.All the performances are great, especially Bowie, who really is one of the most underrated film talents out there. And the music score,which features some of the glorious songs from that era, as well as the irresistible theme song from Miss Dietrich, is fantastic!...Quite a few pigs where used in the making of this film, including a large brown pig named Rosco, which never made it into the film's final cut......After a long hard day on the film set, David Bowie would often unwind by having a few beers and ...................racing around the film set on Rosco.

Reviewed by Dan. Review Posted 30/08/2013
This card is great value for money as it is based on the GPU used by the 7950 (albeit slightly cut down)and has faster memory than non-'XT' versions. Free decent games (although I am still waiting for the BSI code. Great performance, BUT BE WARNED the card is long and runs quite hot. Make sure that you have enough space and sufficient case airflow. I have an Antec 300 case and it is o.k. with medium fan settings, helped by this card exhausting heat out of the case via it's centrifugal fan design. The AMD catalyst software struggles to operate the fan speeds sufficiently to stop the card shutting down due to thermal overload. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you download MSI's 'Afterburner' software where you can set a reliable manual fan map. The card has never got above 60C now under full load with tolerable (not quiet) fan noise and has not crashed since. If you don't mind some simple tweaks this card is for you, if you want plug & play at similar prices go for an Asus 7870 or any 660TI.

It Wasn't Pretty
0-0 in a friendly with L'pool.
I'll preface by saying it was around 35C bloody hot in other words), so i expected the game to be played at a canter (and that was when they were at top speed!).
Can't really say anyone showed me anything, good or bad (on either team...except that, that git Adam's gone done Bale's ankle again...just as our lad was getting into gear and giving their back line fits). Oh and another "bad"...Lennon hitting the post from like 3-inches. Alas, that was as close as anyone came this afternoon (haven't been in the stands for a scoreless draw in an age).
Good to see Dawson and Huddlestone back. THudd was knocking the passes around like he'd never been away (except for that one 40-yarder that he put over Townsend's head.
Speaking of Townsend, he seemed a bit more inspired than Lennon out wide (that was until this 2nd-stringer kid for "them" stopped him 3 times in a row...AVB switched him to the other wing after the third one.
So, in closing; we left gaping gaps in the midfield (no industrious Modric to fill those gaps...Sigurdsson is not the answer...didn't even know he was playing until he was subbed. No Defoe and no VDV today either. (Saving them for Tuesday against the Red Bulls, I suspect).
Oh...and we were vastly outnumbered by the Reds fans today (even in our own end...for shame...had to hang my head...still, a good advert for the Prem over here...42,000+ attended.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
I see from the squad sheet that Jenas and Bentley got about half an hour each as well.
Daffy is on leave of absence - I don''t think he's returned to the squad following his cousin's death, so it's probably doubtful that he'll be available for the next game on the tour.
AVB seems a bit pee'd off by the Adam tackle on Bale - although it was dodgy, it didn't appear to be as bad as his previous 'let's stop Bale by kicking him' challenge. They reported that Bale is in a protective boot - which is hopefully only a precautionary measure and he''ll be available (along with VdV) for the last game.

Apparently the scan was clear, so that's a good thing.
Oh, and another 4.5 mil in the kitty with the sale of Pienaar back to Everton (we could give them a tip about bringing players back ;-)
Now for that cheeky bid to Man U and get Berbs back for 5 mil (and I'm only half kidding there).
Honest truth though...we need more industry in the middle of the park; it's lucky we were only playing 21st Century Liverpool

MS-Windows can be a good operating system.
Okay, that's probably overstating it. There is a nugget of good code in there, somewhere, the bit that Dave Cutler originally designed back around 1989. There's been so much cruft added on, MS-Windows seems more like a large tank designed by committee; powered by a very fast, very solid, very small sports car engine; and painted a very soothing shade of blue. It's not really pretty, and it's not really fun, but it does move, mostly.
But, if you must use MS-Windows, there is a way to make it a tolerable operating system. Just make it more like GNU/Linux.
Unfortunately, I must use MS-Windows at work. Coding PostgreSQL applications on GNU/Linux takes up most of my work responsibilities, but occasionally, I have to code C# clients on MS-Windows. I feel a little dirty every time I do. It's not even that I despise Microsoft for its dirty tricks and outright lying. I just hate using a system I can't control.
I'm a control freak. Big deal.
After I install most of TheOpenCD, I go straight to Cygwin, and download the installer. Yes, I install everything. That way, I have the X Window system, and rxvt, and a whole slew of other things I need, right there in MS-Windows.
Cygwin is a set of portability libraries, and a collection of essential and not-so-essential applications and support libraries. Basically, it provides a GNU environment on MS-Windows, similar to the GNU environment on most Linux distributions. Mostly, I use the standard GNU utilities, like bash and find and grep and secure shell and the like. You know, the standard, necessary utilities any command-line freak requires.
The X Window system implementation is good enough to run applications on other machines, and display to the local MS-Windows machine. I wouldn't call it snappy, but it's sufficient for day-to-day use. I especially enjoy launching EMACS on a remote machine, and displaying it locally. It's freeing, really, knowing MS-Windows can do some of the things I take for granted, like real network transparency in my GUI. You just have to give it a free software helping hand.
Cygwin. The ease-of-use of command-line GNU/Linux, with the stability and security of MS-Windows. How can you resist?
i loath cygwin
as they say, "when in rome, do as the romans."
go native!
cygwin is a (pardon the language, but the literal meaning of the word is very apt) bastard of windows & linux.
i used cygwin from 2001-2004 (so my specific criticisms might be dated). i never developed against it (except to compile a few apps, like tree and perl-tk, that were missing from the distribution), but merely used the environment. it was installed on my desktop because a software development tool ("ported" from unix to windows) required it and i use linux exclusively at home, so i used it.
cygwin can refer to the cygwin dll, which provides a set of linux-like apis, or the linux-like environment, which provides a gnu/unix environment (bash, gcc, x-windows, and even kde at one time). my comments are about the environment as i only compiled a few small foss apps against the dll.
- dll hell: because (as i understood it) the cygwin dll used a shared memory region for communication between processes, the formatting of that shared memory was versioned. this shared memory versioning kept two processes, compiled against different cygwin dll versions, from trashing the shared memory by writing to it in incompatible ways. add to this a few separate applications that included their own version of cygwin (to support grep or any other gnu utility used by the application; eg searching through source code), and you have dll hell. while a cygwin dll is loaded, that shared memory region is versioned. all other cygwin dlls that try to concurrently load must recognize that version or you get a nice pop-up summarizing the cygwin dll version conflict. and even after that first app ceased executing, the cygwin dll might remain loaded by windows. the only sure way to unload the dll and clear the shared memory region was rebooting, though logging out was usually sufficient. this complicated upgrading cygwin, concurrently using applications compiled against different cygwin dll versions, etc.
- long process start-up time: cygwin's grep, cut, tr, sed, awk, etc took ~2-10x longer to start executing than native ports and this problem was exasperated in scripts (which frequently execute external apps).
- unexpected interactions between cygwin and native apps: piping/processing CR & CRLF, bash job control, quoting command-line arguments, etc.
having used bash, cmd is pathetic enough to drive anybody to cygwin if only for an interactive shell and scripting, but in the end i settled on the "native" cross-platform ipython (and helps sharpen the python skills).
cygwin provides a nearly perfect build environment for linux/gnu applications (99% successful "./configure && make && make install"), but from my experience the trade off is in performance and seamlessness (mixing command-line apps in cmd or integrating x-windows apps into desktop). native is more difficult to achieve, but i believe it's also more rewarding.
some "native" cross-platform recommendations:
- unxutils
- gnuwin32
- emacs (or vi if you insist ;)
- mingw
- msys (when necessary for building with mingw)
- python (or perl, php, ruby, etc)
- java (gnu or sun)
- gtk (wxwidgets, or even qt now that it's finally open source on windows)
- gnome libs (dunno about kde)
- pthreads (if porting from linux)
- x.org
- and the best media player on windows: MPLAYER!
the most frustrating thing about going native is finding foss apps that build on windows with visual studio (which some would argue is more "native" to windows, but is definitely not foss, no matter how pragmatically tempting the "free-beer" visual c++ express looks) but have poor or no support for mingw (unmaintained/missing makefiles).
Although I agree with the
Although I agree with the above user (undefined) that cygwin is less then ideal, sometimes it helps to have some familiar app's around.
Check out the cygwin ports project. I found it really helpful, since i could run an xfce environment on my universities windows computer (now i discovered where they keep their slackware pc's). And it has some app's that might be useful.

A playful track,where the rhythm of the clapping hands give a sense of fun and a sunny athmosphere.
This positive song is bright and about fun, you can imagine children playing with the family or a funny cartoon character (I thought an animated apple), as well as a friendly workplace or a serene work meeting showing a new product.
It is arranged with warm acoustic instruments such as bandoneon (from Argentina), glockenspiel, handclaps, tambourine, bass and piano. No ukulele, sorry
This track is ideal for commercials and tv ads of any product (technology, communication, cars, educational, toys), giving a sense of fun and a calm background.

Shimano's coasting line is profiled in United's Hemispheres (of all places) and provides insight into the design and development effort they went through with Ideo. I met Shannon from Shimano and Anthony from Ideo at Interbike last year and like the article, they told me people wanted to enjoy the "simple pleasure" of cycling and modern bicycles were too complicated (later, I referred to the simplicity and ecosystem trend at Interbike as iPod influenced, where products are focused on solving problems and making something easy to do).
The coasting website has been updated, dealers still not there, but there's def more to look at.
I'm not sure where coasting fits for the enthusiasts, or if it matters, but anything that gets more people cycling is good and Bike Hugger is down with that.
While way sexy to start, I'd expect the Kona Media Darlings team to not look so darling, after they finish the Kona 24 hours in the Old Pueblo this weekend. Our blogger Owen will post about the culture, event, people, and bikes. The other darlings include
Good luck all and watch for the posts and photos. Also, hugga-related, check Kona Bike Town, a blog about Kona's AfricaBike.
Well … the Hugga Tees in girls and women sizes didn't turn out so good – ugly in fact, so we're delaying them until we can get it right.
We should have the next run in a week or so and what to do with all those defective tees? Shop rags!

In an exciting close of the 2013 transfer window, Mesut Ozil, to the delight of Arsenal fans, officially joined the Gunners' squad. Arsenal has invested heavily in the young player with vision and Ozil will be a welcome sight at Emirates this season.
Ozil has been dubbed "the German Messi" by some and it's easy to see why the young, talented playmaker has been earning such glowing comparisons. Ozil has cemented his place as one of the top young talents in the world.
This is the final season of Nike's 20-year partnership with Arsenal, and for a final bow they have replaced last year's purple and black hooped away shirt with this classic yellow jersey.
Arsenal have worn yellow for many memorable seasons throughout its 127-year history.
This season's away jersey most closely resembles the shirt worn by the Gunners' legendary unbeaten "Invincibles," team from the 2003-2004 campaign.
The most recent Arsenal team to win a trophy, the 2005 FA Cup, also sported the canary color.
Arsenal have twice ended trophy draughts dressed in yellow, winning the English Premier League in 1989 and 1998. Arsene Wenger's men, spearheaded by Santi Cazorla, Theo Walcott and Jack Wilshire, will aim to do the same this season.
Shout "one-nil to the Arsenal" in this shirt as the Gunners compete in Premier League and UEFA Champions League matches this term. Find it at soccer.com: unmatched.

Bangalore city's drinking water needs are set to reach 22.68 TMC (thousand million cubic feet) by 2015, while as of now the river Cauvery would only be able to supply 17.22 TMC.
Moreover, the Tippagondanahalli reservoir, located just outside the city at the confluence of the Kumudvathi and the Arkavathy rivers, which has been supplying water since the 1930s, now runs dry.
The Kumudvathi River, which flows across 278 villages, covering 460 Sq. Km in 3 taluks, has the potential to augment Cauvery's water to satisfy Bangalore's needs.
The main causes for the drying up of the river are urban encroachment and deforestation as well as unsustainable extraction of ground water and loss of traditional knowledge. Urban encroachment led to the destruction of the catchment areas that feed the river, while deforestation has loosened the soil's water-holding capacity. Indiscriminate planting of species such as Eucalyptus also interfere with the natural recharge process.
The Art of Living Foundation, under the banner of the Volunteer For A Better India Movement, has taken up the responsibility of rejuvenating the river.
The project involves four main steps:
1 - Soil erosion control by checking the speed of rain water flow on stream paths with boulder checks
2 - Ground water recharging by making recharge wells and injection Wells at scientifically identified locations; these will bring up the water table in the catchment areas
3 - Rejuvenating local water bodies such as wells and tanks
4 - Planting trees to increase vegetation cover; this is a long-term but permanent solution for restoring the eco-system
The project was flagged off in early 2013 (in February), and so far five ground water reservoirs have been built on an experimental basis. Nine Gram Panchayats have also pledged their support and The Minor Irrigation and Water Resources Department has meanwhile offered full cooperation in the restoration of existing local water bodies in the region. While close to 100 boulder checks have already been placed, a 100 more will be placed before the next monsoon. The tree plantation drive is in full swing, with over 5000 saplings already planted in 14 villages in the Nelamangala taluk. The target for the drive is 1 lakh saplings over two years across the 278 villages the river runs through.
The results of the rejuvenation activities in eight villages have been very encouraging, where the existing water bodies have been rejuvenated due to this season's bountiful rainfall.
The project also involves the local communities, who are encouraged to take responsibility for the restoration in their villages. Empowering programs like the Rural-Happiness workshop and Nav Chethana and Bala Chethana Shivirs are being conducted for the upliftment of the villagers while Youth Leadership Training Programs are also being initiated to create local leaders.
The project also works with farmers, encouraging them to form farmers' clubs at the Panchayat level to take the initiative in carrying out organic farming and community farming.
Every Sunday, over a hundred volunteers gather in the Sivaganga hills region to plant trees along the course of the river.

PHOENIX -- There is no doubt that left-hander Brett Anderson is a standup guy who wants to be the leader of the A's rotation.
What is less clear is whether the A's need him to fill the role of a classic leader the way Dave Stewart did in Oakland a generation ago. More than once, with the A's backs against the wall, Stewart huddled with his teammates before big games and "guaranteed" a win. And he produced.
By his own admission, Anderson doesn't have that kind of personality. He's perfectly willing to talk and engage the media, but if what the A's need is someone to rally the troops with his vocal chords, he's not the right fit.
Heading into the 2013 season, the A's need someone at the top of the totem pole, the kind of leader who leads by example on the field. Anderson is a good fit.
"I think every team needs a pitcher where they can say, 'We feel this is our ace,' " pitching coach Curt Young said. "And Brett has put himself in that position. There are different kinds of leaders. Brett wants to be seen as one of the best pitchers in Major League Baseball. As he does that, he'll lead by example.''
But whether he leads vocally or by example, Anderson has to stay healthy, something he's been unable to do since his rookie season in 2009. He went 11-11 in 30 starts his first year. Since then, he's had just 38 starts spread over three seasons. He's pitched well with a 3.20 ERA, but he hasn't pitched often, and that has to change.
Most of his problems have been with a sore left elbow that finally caused him to have reconstructive surgery midway through the 2011 season. Anderson came back last August and won his first four decisions, then after one loss, he was taken out in the third inning of a game in Detroit with a right oblique injury.
But Anderson fought to come back and managed to start and win Game 3 of the A.L. division series, throwing six shutout innings while holding the Tigers to two hits.
"It was important to me to get out there, to help the team," Anderson said. "I felt the oblique just a little in that game, but I was able to rest it after that and haven't felt it since."
As for the leadership role, Anderson sees a position his club needs to have filled.
"It's a little weird; I'm 25 and I have some of the longest tenure on the club," he said. "I don't know how that happened. I don't classify myself as old. But I have to be more of a leader. I'm not a rah-rah, vocal guy, but guys can come ask questions. And maybe some of my eccentric personality will come out now."
Bob Melvin has never had the leader of a pitching staff in any of his three stops as a manager -- Seattle and Arizona before Oakland -- be so young.
"We needed a leader last year, and we had (Brandon) McCarthy," Melvin said. "We don't need one so much this year. We had Jarrod Parker start Game 1 of the playoffs last year, which is huge for a pitcher in his first big league season. And he pitched great. Our kids, all of them, did a lot of growing up last year.
"(Anderson) isn't going to be a great vocal guy in the clubhouse, but he's already proven that he's going to be a standup guy anytime you give him the ball. And that's what we need. He's not a leader like Roger Clemens was or like Dave Stewart was. But his stuff leads anybody."
Anderson is blessed with a mid-90s fastball and two breaking balls. When he throws, hitters generally swing early. The delivery of his fastball and his breaking pitches are so similar that batters have to respect the fastball and swing assuming the heater is coming.
When the curve does show up -- and he will throw it in any count -- the hitter can look foolish chasing slow stuff.
"Brett's not going to be the vocal guy, but he can pitch," Melvin said.
And that, at its base, is the essence of leading, as long as he can stay healthy.

Venom allergy shots (immunotherapy) are highly effective in preventing subsequent sting reactions. After reaching maintenance doses of immunotherapy, 95 percent of venom-treated patients are able to tolerate single stings, and sting reactions that occur are generally milder. Adult patients who have a positive venom skin test generally are considered candidates for specific-venom immunotherapy. Children with skin symptoms alone have only a 10 percent risk of systemic reactions and aren't considered candidates for skin testing or immunotherapy. Nonetheless, children with more severe or life-threatening reactions are candidates for venom immunotherapy.
Treatment of local reactions in people without a history of insect sting sensitivity include aspirin for pain and ice to reduce swelling.
For those with a history of large local reactions, taking an oral antihistamine(preferably non-sedating) and, in some cases, taking a single dose of oral steroids soon after the sting is recommended.
Wear a medical alert bracelet or necklace stating that you (or your child) are allergic to insect stings.
Be familiar with the potential symptoms of allergic reactions to insect stings. Your family should also be familiar with this information. Ask your healthcare provider to give you a written action plan. If an epinephrine injection device is prescribed, learn when and how to use it. Make sure that all caretakers understand the action plan and how to give the epinephrine and any other medication prescribed for treatment of reactions.
Carry an emergency pack at all times. The emergency pack should contain each of the medications needed to treat a sting reaction, such as an epinephrine injection device and an antihistamine in the form of syrup or chewable tablet. If you or your child has asthma, a rescue inhaler should also be kept in the emergency pack. An action plan card indicating the actions to take and the importance of calling 911 or going to the closest medical facility once the medication is given is also helpful.

2nd set took a couple songs but Tweezer through the rest of the show. was great (until the shortest Weekapaug ever was played 2:20) which I know it was cut but I'm sure it finished off great.
So yeah Tweezer was great very chatty beginning, Fishman towards the end starts in with his craziness. really good jam I liked it alot. Very well played Lizards, La Grange, Mcgrupp (I loved it one of my new favorite versions)
A Train> Antelope was awesome and Antelope is a new gem I've never heard before but really liked. Mikes through Weekapaug short but good. Like I said Weekapaug is pretty much missing only first 2:20 was there and looked like it was gonna rage.
Would really like to get a different copy/version of this show and give it another go.

Another fine example of Seattle Vélocouture.
Uploaded by Dapper Lad Cycles | more from the Bike Hugger Photostream.
For the NW region, Mavic came to Seattle's Fremont neighborhood to give retailers an in-person look at the new apparel and shoe line. Regional rep Karlee Brandner hosted the event at Brouwer's Belgian cafe. With plenty of beer and pommes frites on hand, Mavic softgoods marketing director Glen McKibben, on loan back from France, presented the debut apparel line under the prestigious rim and wheel manufacturer's brand. Bike Hugger had a chance to ask about the new road shoe, Zxellium.
At our next Mobile Social, we're considering lots of fun bike things to do – [maybe a Bowie v. Prince theme](http://www.momentumplanet.com/blog/glorious/freak-vs-bowie-vs-prince –) or something like riding the craziest bike inventions we can find …
That's super crazy, but I think this butt-to-butt tandem is even crazier than the face-to-face tandem. The best idea though is possibly this breast-power one, modified to power your bike lights. And there's always the lawnmower bikes.
What's the craziest bike invention you've ever seen?
Don't give away your secret plans to rule bike culture, but maybe you've even got a great/crazy idea? And by coincidence, Wired just ran a similar post. Oddly claiming that a CVT was "wacky."

SAN ANTONIO – Terence Jones' go-ahead three with 1:07 to play lifted the Texas A&M – Corpus Christi men's basketball team to a 50-49 victory over UTSA on Wednesday night at the Convocation Center. Jones led the way with 12 points for the Islanders (2-13, 1-2 Southland), who snapped an 11-game losing streak with the win.
UTSA nearly pulled off what would have been a tremendous comeback, as the Islanders held a 37-20 halftime lead and pushed it to 39-20 just after the break. But Jones' clutch three proved the difference, as Melvin Johnson III's desperation three at the buzzer rimmed out to give head coach Willis Wilson his first conference win with the Islanders.
Chris Hawkins-Mast added 10 points for the Islanders, while Myron Dempsey had eight points and 11 boards – his fifth game in the last six with double-digit rebounds. Jones had a team-leading six assists and Hameed Ali added five assists, as Johnathan Jordan was limited to just 15 minutes due to foul trouble. Stephen Franklin had a double-double (10 points, 10 rebounds) in the loss for UTSA.
The Islanders were lights-out from the field in the opening half, going 16-for-28 (.571), but went just 6-for-19 after the break (.316). Kennon Dvorak shot the only free throw of the game for the Islanders, with 6.5 seconds to play.
Both teams started slowly, with the Islanders taking a 5-3 lead, but UTSA put together a 7-0 run to get out to a 10-5 edge at the 15:35 mark. The visitors snapped that rally with an alley-oop to Maxey to spark a 17-4 run, giving the Islanders a 22-14 advantage at the 6:58 mark. The Islanders held UTSA to just one field goal over that span (1-for-12) in addition to forcing four turnovers.
UTSA snapped that string with a Jeromie Hill layup, but the Islanders added to their lead for a 28-19 advantage with 3:26 mark. Texas A&M – Corpus Christi then caught fire from the outside, with a pair of triples from Terence Jones and one from Jake Kocher to bring a 37-20 lead into the break. Eight different players had field goals in the half.
Out of the break, UTSA came out with a 10-4 run before a Myron Dempsey layup stemmed the tide. At that juncture, neither team mounted much at the offensive end, with the Islanders lead being trimmed to 43-31 at the 11:39 mark. Then, the Roadrunner defense clamped down, and the home squad was able to string together a 7-0 run to make the lead just 43-38 with 8:51 left.
Neither team was able to score over the next 3:45, with the streak being broken by a Johnson III fast-break jumper with a foul, finishing the three point play to make it 43-41 Islanders with five minutes to play. UTSA continued to chip away, and finally gained the lead, their first since 14-13, at 46-45 with 2:47 remaining. The two teams traded baskets, then Jones came through with his clutch three from the corner, giving the visitors a 50-48 lead with 1:07 left.
The Roadrunners trimmed it to one on the next possession, as Jeromie Hill hit 1-of-2 at the free-throw line to give the Islanders the ball with a 50-49 lead and 56 seconds left. UTSA got the stop it needed, but Jordan grabbed a huge defensive rebound, and a foul sent Dvorak to the line with 6.5 seconds to play. The walk-on missed the front end of the 1-and-1, but UTSA's last-second three was just off and the Islanders held on for the victory.
The Islanders return to the road this weekend, heading to Southeastern Louisiana for a Saturday night contest in Hammond, La. Game time is slated for 6 p.m. Follow the game live by following @IslandersMBB on Twitter or listening in on NewsRadio 1360 KKTX.

Hi everyone!
First of all, excuse my English. I'm Spaniard, and my english istn't good.
I want to send you some questions:
I've got a PS3 and a AMD Athlon 64 3200+ (1.99 GHz). The CPU has XP (32bits) installed, and my network connection between PS3 and PC is 100Mbits. My goal is transcode .mkv files in the PC and see them in my LCD connected (HMDI) to PS3.
I know that I've got a slow CPU to achive this, but I'm thinking to purchase a brand new PC.
Here's my first question:
-I had read that with a dual core 2.66GHz is quite enough, but nowadays there are quad-cores in market. In your opinion, which is the best option: (1) purchase a fast dual core (above 3GHz) or (2) purchase a Quad Core bellow 2.6GHz?? (Remember my goal. The CPU is only to transcode .mkv files and stream them tho PS3)
Now the second:
-100 Mbits is enough?
And the third one:
When I play .mkv files (720/1080), with MEncoder engine (basic tunning options in PS3 media server set, like only 2 audio channels and 100 broadband) , I've got stuttering, and the use of the proccesor in the PC becomes 100%, but, when I use TsMuxer the results are much better. I can see and hear the .mkv files with no problems, the use of PC's proccesor is trivial/insignificant... The only problems detected: Not every .mkv runs (PS3 reports corrupted file), or you can hear the stream but there's no image (black screen).
For those .mkv that runs with TsMuxer:
-Are there options to set in PS3 media Server that permit change the streaming of .mkv's audio tracks? Some of those .mkv I hear them in english by default when I know that they have spanish tracks inside.
Thank you very much for your help.

As Hurricane Sandy approached, I spent a lot of time doing interviews with East Coast CBS radio stations about how storm victims could keep communications technology working if their power and phones lines failed.
As I covered that horrendous story, I thought about how lucky we in the Bay Area were, enjoying beautiful fall weather along with the Giants' World Series victory. But we have our own form of natural disaster to worry about -- earthquakes. And unlike hurricanes, earthquakes come without warning, so you have to always be prepared.
There was a time when the only communications-related advice was to have a portable radio and plenty of batteries handy, and that is still good advice. When power, cable and Internet lines are down, radio remains the best way to get news and emergency information. And now there are radios that don't even require batteries. If you search the Web for "crank radio," you'll find plenty that have their own little hand-cranked generators, including the Etón FR160Bn ($29.98 on Amazon.com) that offers AM, FM and the NOAA weatherband and includes a flashlight and a USB cell phone charger.
Cell phones can be a lifeline, but they're not always dependable. Batteries drain and the cell towers the networks depend on are vulnerable to damage from wind, rain, falling trees and, of course, earthquakes. According to the Federal Communications Commission, 25 percent of the cell towers in Sandy's path were knocked out by the storm, leaving people nearby without service. While there isn't anything you can do to protect against a failed cell tower, there are things you can do to keep your phone working long after the power fails.
Unless you have an iPhone, which doesn't have a removable battery, consider getting an extra battery that you keep charged up.
Regardless of what model of phone you have, get a battery backup system like an AA charger from Energizer or Duracell or a rechargeable battery pack that works with your phone. And it's obviously a good idea to keep plenty of AA batteries around.
There are also rechargeable battery packs with USB charging ports. If you search Amazon for "portable power," you'll find a number of options, including the Anker Astro3 ($59.99) that supports almost all recent cell phones.
It's also a good idea to have a charger for your phone in your car that you can use if your house power fails. If you have a good car battery, you should still have plenty of juice left to start your car. Your car might not be accessible in an emergency, but these chargers are cheap and worth having anyway.
If you have a laptop, keep it fully charged because its battery can be used to charge cell phones via the USB port.
In the event of an emergency, do all you can to preserve your phone's battery. Dim the screen to its lowest usable level, disable all unnecessary apps and turn off your phone's extra power-hungry radios, such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and GPS. Unless you need it, turn off data because that too uses lots of power. Also turn off vibrate mode -- another energy hog. If you must leave data on, use the slowest (and most energy efficient) network possible -- 3G is more efficient than 4G and 2G or Edge uses less power than 3G.
Talking uses more energy than texting and texts can sometimes get through even when calls can't. The FCC and FEMA say text messages "help free up more 'space' for emergency communications on the telephone network." The agencies also advise cell phone users to wait 10 seconds before redialing a call" to avoid clogging the network.
I realize that landlines are dismissed by many as unnecessary, but we still have one at our house. Landlines don't require electricity as long as you have at least one old-fashioned "corded" phone. Cordless phone base stations require electricity. What I like about my corded phone is that it's always in the same place (it can't be misplaced like a cordless or cell phone) and there are no batteries to worry about. Of course landlines are prone to failure in a natural disaster but they're one more option and, besides, they're great for calling 911 in a personal emergency.
It's also a good idea for family members to know the phone number of someone out of town who can relay messages. Sometimes long distance calls can get through when local ones can't.
Even if you do all this, you still may not be able to use any of your phones. So have other plans, including a designated meeting place for nearby family members to gather once it's safe.

Papa Murphy's Says "Boo" With the Jack-O-Lantern Pizza [1]
Read More About
Restaurants typically see an increase in traffic on Halloween, as partygoers and parents opt for the convenience of a pre-made meal.
Papa Murphy knows this all too well. October 31 is one of the take-and-bake pizza chain's busiest days of the year.
In fact, many of Papa Murphy's more than 1,300 U.S. locations see flocks of costume-clad families coming through the door for the return of the Jack-O-Lantern Pizza.
Papa Murphy's launched the Jack-O-Lantern Pizza nationally seven years ago. It's now become a Halloween tradition for families coast to coast.
The pizza is handcrafted with freshly grated cheese and premium pepperoni slices, arranged to resemble a Jack-O-Lantern's face.
"I love the Jack-O-Lantern pizza. My sister and I always have to get them," writes a fan on Papa Murphy's Facebook page. "This pizza is kind of a sentimental thing to us now."
Like Papa Murphy's other signature pizzas, the Jack-O-Lantern Pizza takes 12–18 minutes to bake in customers' home ovens. Price and participation varies nationwide.

Terri Schiavo, the severely brain-damaged woman who spent 15 years connected to a feeding tube in an epic legal and medical battle that went all the way to the White House and Congress, died Thursday, 13 days after the tube was removed. She was 41.
Word of the death came shortly after the parents, through their adviser, asked that they be allowed to be at her bedside when she died.
It was nearly two weeks ago that the brain-damaged woman was disconnected from the feeding tube that had kept her alive for years. Even after that, her parents continued their desperate legal battle to have the tube reattached.
An autopsy is planned, with both sides hoping it will shed more light on the extent of her brain injuries.

OAKLAND -- In the weeks before Giselle Esteban is alleged to have murdered her former best friend, Michelle Le, she conducted numerous Internet searches seeking information that a prosecutor hopes prove that the killing was planned, evidence presented at trial revealed Monday.
Through questioning of an FBI computer forensics expert, deputy district attorney Butch Ford showed that Esteban, 28, sought information about, among other things, how to induce a heart attack, how to break into a locked door and how to follow someone without being noticed.
In addition, an analysis of Esteban's computer found that someone using her login information also made about 300 searches in about two weeks, seeking information about Le's residence.
Ford argued during opening statements that he will prove to a jury that Esteban planned to kill Le, 26, because she believed that the nursing student was having an affair with Esteban's former boyfriend and father of her daughter.
Meanwhile, Esteban's defense attorney, Andrea Auer, said the evidence will only prove that her client killed Le in a "heat of passion."
But the evidence presented Monday showed that Esteban began looking for ways to kill at least two weeks before she tracked down Le on May 27, 2011, in the parking garage of the Kaiser hospital in Hayward.
Jann Hayes, a senior computer forensic examiner with the FBI, testified that she was given Esteban's computer by the Hayward Police Department on May 31, 2011, and asked to conduct an analysis to find any information regarding Le or anything related to the case.
Hayes said her examination found "an overwhelming amount of data" pertinent to the case.
Among the searches Hayes said she found were, "How to break a deadbolt lock," "Chemicals that can induce heart attacks," "How to find someone who doesn't want to be found," and "How to follow someone without being caught."
Hayes said most of the searches were conducted between May 13 and May 27, 2011, the day Le went missing and the day authorities say Esteban killed Le in the parking garage.
In addition, Hayes said, she found evidence that someone using Esteban's login and computer searched Le's name "about 300 times" during that same time period.
Hayes was Ford's second-to-last witness before he completes his case against Esteban. Ford is scheduled to place a DNA expert on the witness stand Tuesday to discuss how police found Esteban's DNA in Le's car.
The defense is expected to begin its case once that testimony is completed.

Partnership for Prescription Assistance
People need access to safe, effective medications and financial hardships should not stand in the way of proper use of medication. Yet some people find it challenging to afford the medications prescribed, and may seek alternatives, including internet pharmacies and other unsafe practices. Patients may not take medications at the dose or frequency prescribed or may not get a prescription refilled, putting their health at risk.
The Partnership for Prescription Assistance (PPA) has helped millions of qualifying patients get the medicines they need by connecting them with a patient assistance program that is right for them. Through PPA, many patients get their medications free or nearly free. Learn more about the Partnership for Prescription Assistance by visiting the website (www.pparx.org).
When patients use medications appropriately, their health and lives improve, and health care spending is reduced as expensive hospitalizations and surgeries are avoided. PhRMA supports patient access to medication as a public health priority.

The brilliance of NARS Eyeshadows lies not only in the richness of color, but also in the transparency of textures.
All shadows can be applied to be sheer or built up to a more dramatic effect. Francois believes that makeup should never mask the face, and therefore created his shadows to allow the skin to show through if a natural effect is desired.
Easily layered for more color, all shadows are long wearing and crease resistant.
Single shadows are available in a wide range of colors that are great to mix and match for a customized look. Although small enough to carry anywhere, the single eyeshadow compacts contain more product than most other makeup compacts on the market.

Now that we've headed into the fall season, dermatologists say what's going around is a lot of patients with dry skin.
One doctor says there's less humidity in the air as the temperatures drop, and people are heading indoors where they're turning on their furnaces. All that causes flaky skin that left untreated can itch and even bleed. But besides using more lotion to trap in moisture, there are other steps you can take. Dr. Street recommends adding a humidifier to your home.
"Add humidity to the bedroom. We can also change the products we use on the skin. People with oily skin might want to use a dry skin system. Take a vitamin with vitamin E in it," said Dr. Marcy Street, Dermatologist.
Dr. Street also has a line of skin and hair care products that can help dry skin and other skin problems. Log on to www.doctorsapproach.com for more information.
A portion of the proceeds goes to an organization to help abused and abandoned children.

Microsoft Bought A Company When It Needed A Leader
The American public and Wall Street always have had a thing for the great business leader.
While it's true that such leaders inspire us, sometimes our adoration can be a little misplaced. We can get burned by the Ken Lays and Dick Fulds of the world. Their flaws can can be exposed. Sometimes, it is unyielding hubris. Maybe their tactical genius turns out to be dumb luck.
In the end, however, a truly great CEO can't be undervalued. And when examining the fates of two once-admired companies who are desperately trying to get their mojo back, it's clear that the problem isn't products; it is personalities.
Steve Jobs was inarguably one of those icons who almost always lived up to the hype – so much so that he created even more hype to live up to.
It is said that Mr. Jobs, in the early days of the rivalry between Microsoft and Apple, was once asked about his company's inflexibility when it came to writing software for third party software.
His answer was that in order to create great software, you had to create the hardware to run it.
In a nutshell, that seems to be the reasoning behind Microsoft's $7 billion announced acquisition of Nokia's handset division. The products of the two companies may have had their strengths, but they could be stronger together. Probably true.
Some observers claim that in buying Nokia's mobile division, Microsoft's Steve Ballmer is trying to replicate Mr. Jobs' philosophy. It's also been noted that this is a somewhat outdated notion given the rapid and tectonic changes in technology. The rise of networking, competition from the Far East and decline of developer's influence have rendered the notion moot.
All of this is true. But a greater truth may not be about the companies or their strategies but about the people that run them. Mr. Jobs, as his 13 years away from the company illustrated, loomed larger than Apple. In the same way, Microsoft has languished since Bill Gates stepped down as CEO in 2000.
Nokia, in the same way, was shaped by Jorma Ollila. After he left the company in 2006, the company's share of the cell phone market has eroded at a alarming pace. Though Nokia was developing its mobile phone business before Mr. Ollila became CEO in 1992, under him the company transformed from a industrial conglomerate to one of the world's true global corporations.
For all of their variations, Messrs. Jobs, Gates and Ollila shared a trait that made them superior leaders. They didn't follow. They led. To borrow an old Apple advertising slogan, they had the innate ability to "think different."
Compare those personalities with those of the current leaders of Microsoft and Nokia. When Mr. Ballmer announced two weeks ago he would step down as chief executive of Microsoft within the next 12 months, the company's shares jumped 7%.
In Steven Elop's three years as chief executive of Nokia, shares have fallen 47%, including the recent gains following the deal's announcement.
Mr. Elop, who was a senior executive at Microsoft before taking the Nokia job, is now being mentioned as a successor to Mr. Ballmer.
For investors, this speculation must be discouraging. Not only is Mr. Elop a product of the Microsoft culture, his collaboration with Mr. Ballmer to sell Nokia smartphones with Microsoft software has yielded mixed results: Market share has doubled – but just to 3.7%, according to IDC, a market data provider.
This isn't to say either Mr. Ballmer or Mr. Elop are terrible executives. They aren't. Indeed, tying their companies together is a smart strategic move, even if overdue.
Both leaders have their defenders. Mr. Ballmer is seen as getting a bad rap because of Microsoft's very visible consumer offerings. The company's efforts in enterprise and server tools are just as important, if not more. Revenue and operating income at the company also have tripled on Mr. Ballmer's watch. And the company has returned more money via stock buybacks and dividends than any other company other than Exxon Mobil Corp.
At Nokia, Mr. Elop is credited with cutting production times, adopting the Windows platform for its smartphones, creating phones that have been reviewed well by critics and shaking up a company culture considered to be nostalgic.
But as an investor in either company knows, neither man has inspired. Each CEO may have had some essential leadership strengths – team building, passion, decision making, character – but neither seems to possess the X-factor that separates the truly great CEOs from the pack.
In many ways, Messrs. Ballmer and Elop suffer because their respective companies once did have those dynamic leaders at the helm. The good skills of the successor always look disappointing when compared with the great skills of a predecessor.
Ultimately, that's why the market is so unimpressed with the deal. It's not a bad deal today. It would have been a great deal 20 or even 10 years ago. But it would have been a visionary deal 30 years ago. That, of course, is when Mr. Jobs saw that great software needed great hardware. It was a visionary assessment, the sort that great leaders make.
Unfortunately, you can't buy that. Even for $7 billion.

Friday, Sept. 15, 2012
2:15 p.m.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) -- North Dakota State University has lifted its evacuation order.
The university ordered all students and employees to leave campus Monday morning after it received a bomb threat.
The university says is will reopen campus at 1 p.m. CDT and classes will resume at 2 p.m. It says university police will spend the next hour unlocking university buildings.
The evacuation order at NDSU came about the same time as one at The University of Texas at Austin, where officials also say they received a bomb threat. FBI spokesman Kyle Loven says the agency is trying to determine if the two threats were related.
More than 14,000 students are enrolled at NDSU. The university cleared its main and downtown campuses following the threat, along with all of its agricultural facilities.
1:13 p.m.
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- The University of Texas says all university buildings have been cleared and are reopening after a bomb threat prompted an evacuation of the Austin campus.
The university posted on its website that all classes have been canceled for the remainder of the day Friday but other university activities will resume by 5 p.m.
The school had issued and alert shortly before 10 a.m. Friday telling people to immediately evacuate all campus buildings and "get as far away as possible" after the school received a phoned-in bomb threat.
11:35 p.m.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) -- North Dakota State University officials are ordering the campus evacuated after receiving a bomb threat.
NDSU issued a statement shortly before 10 a.m. Friday telling all employees and students to leave campus within a half-hour because of a bomb threat. No other details were given.
More than 14,000 students are enrolled at NDSU.
11:20 a.m.
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- The University of Texas has issued an alert on its website ordering an evacuation "due to threats on campus."
The alert posted shortly before 10 a.m. Friday says people on campus should immediately evacuate all buildings and "get as far away as possible."
University of Texas director of communications Rhonda Weldon says the university received a call about 8:35 a.m. from a man with a Middle Eastern accent claiming to be with al-Qaida. The man said he had placed bombs all over the campus that would go off in 90 minutes.
Wheldon says all the buildings were evacuated at 9:50 a.m. as a precaution.
She says no bombs have been found.
