MARIETTA - Ormet officials say they are optimistic no further layoffs will be needed at its Hannibal plant in the coming months, after 82 layoffs earlier this year.
Ormet Corp. managed to stave off a wholesale closure of the plant last month when the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio ruled that the aluminum manufacturer could defer its November and December electric bill payments.
In anticipation of increasing electricity costs, the plant had already cut production and lay off staff.
In August, officials announced the closure of two of the Hannibal plant's six potlines. Ormet also filed a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN) notice and announced they would begin a round of layoffs in September. A spokeswoman for plant manager Mike Griffin said 82 employees are currently laid off as a result of scaled back operations.
However, United Steelworkers Local 5724 President Tom Byers said no further layoffs have occurred since the initial round.
"I'm optimistic. We are still a four line operation right now. Hopefully the market will improve," he said.
The recent ruling will keep the plant operational at least through the end of the year and give Ormet time to hunt for a solution to the problem of rising electricity prices and a declining aluminum market.
"There are a lot of discussions and negotiations going on," said Terry Tamburini, executive director of the Southeastern Ohio Port Authority.
The Appalachian Partnership for Economic Growth (APEG), a division of JobsOhio, is one such group involved in those discussions.
"JobsOhio and the company are working hard to arrive at a solution for the long-term viability for Ormet," said Marty Walsh, APEG vice president.
That long-term viability has been in question since August when the PUCO approved an AEP rate plan that meant higher prices for most customers.
Ormet, which had previously operated under a reasonable rate arrangement with the power company, estimated the new rate plan would cost them an additional $20 million annually.
"Ormet was claiming that it created a severe hardship with them. We wanted to work with Ormet to make sure they didn't go out of business," explained PUCO spokesman Matt Schilling.
A complete closure of the Hannibal plant would result in the loss of nearly 1,000 jobs.
The recent PUCO ruling will allow Ormet to stretch out its November and December electric payments over a 15-month period beginning in Jan. 2014, explained Schilling.
However, the commission stipulated that any further requests on behalf of Ormet will need to include a business plan, proving their future ability to exist without assistance, he added.
According to AEP spokesman Jeff Rennie, the power company did not object to the decision because there are provisions in the order that allow them to recover any money not paid back.
In the meantime, Ormet has hired independent investment banking advisory firm Evercore Partners, who according to their website, handle "divestitures and restructurings" among other things.
It would not be Ormet's first brush with a reorganization strategy. In 2004, the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and exited bankruptcy the next year after undergoing a restructuring that included selling off company assets.
It also temporarily shut down two potlines in 2009 when worldwide aluminum prices plunged.

College-Football Power Rankings
Wharton professor Cade Massey and Las Vegas sports analyst Rufus Peabody rank college football teams based mostly on season-to-date statistics that best predict future performance. Past wins and losses are awarded no predictive power. Here is their Top 50, highlighting the nation's unbeaten teams, who are ranked according to expected winning margin versus the average Division I FBS team on a neutral field. (See Massey-Peabody.com for details.)
There is consensus with the BCS rankings at the top, as Alabama, Florida State and Oregon also hold the top three spots. But Massey and Peabody's next highest-ranked unbeaten, Ohio State, is ranked two spots lower than in the BCS, behind LSU (20.3 points over average) and Wisconsin (18.3), which each have two losses.
While the BCS ranks no unbeaten team lower than 18th (Northern Illinois), Massey and Peabody list the Huskies (48th, 4.7 points better than average), Texas Tech (40th, 7.1) and Fresno State (41st, 7.0) well outside their top 20.
Other unbeatens Missouri, Miami and Baylor each chart lower than in the BCS, which lists them all inside its top 10. But by Massey and Peabody's key statistical measures, these three undefeated teams rank below the 4-3 Georgia Bulldogs (eighth-best 17.5 points above average), who fail to even crack the BCS top 25.

Well i haven't tried this with mandriva 64 yet, but the main problem i run into is that on 64 bit systems you dont have the w32codecs package. You can use w64codecs, but that one misses a lot of codecs compared to the other one. Either you have to crosscompile (which i tried and failed at a couple of times) or just give up on 64 bit systems.
Since my system does not have over 4 GB of memory there's little point to a 64 bit system anyway. It would be nice to make full use of the 64 bit processor, but it seems microsoft's proprietary codecs are not coming to 64 bit systems anytime soon, maybe we'll finally get a spinoff now since 64 bit processors are pretty much everywhere now and with w7 other companies finally decided to support their hardware on 64bit. It'll happen, but it just takes a while.

"An athlete is a normal person with the gift of an undying passionto be the best and achieve greatness." AmandaRing
Over time most athletes are goingto suffer injury. It is a given. In an ideal world if you knew you were goingto be injured, it would be great to schedule the injury at the beginning of theoff-season. Unfortunately it rarely happens that way.
No matter when you are injured itis going to upset your life, training and season. The strategy is to deal withit in the best possible way. The goal is to return to play as quickly aspossible.
When faced with an injury, athletes respond in one of two ways. The levelof motivation determines how quickly an athlete returns to play. Responses rangefrom viewing the injury as a reason to take a break, nursing the injury for aslong as possible to the athlete who is determined to do what is necessary toquickly return to play.
Yes, some things just take time. There are, however, some things athletescan do to speed up the process. For athletes on the injured list mindset makesa difference. Motivation, attitude and commitment are powerful contributorshelping to speed up the healing process.
Specific characteristics help to speed up the healing process.
When your heart is set on healing in time for the event of a lifetime,there is no room for doubt. It was the belief of what was possible which pushedyou to excel in your sport. That attitude, and skill set, can be applied tohealing. The process is similar. It is something you already know how to do.
Although healing seems passive, it is a very active process. Constantactivity is occurring under the surface. Sitting on the sidelines is difficult.Instead of feeling sorry for yourself use this time to your advantage. Thereare ways to improve as an athlete which are overlooked when training.
Injury is always apossibility, but many athletes lose confidence with prolonged recovery times.The fear is an emotional response to a specific event. With the right tools itcan be easily overcome.
When using mental game strategies to create a positive mindset, athletesfocus on their full potential. A champion mindset makes a point of focusing onthe positive instead of the negative. Reframes are useful tools for shiftingperspective around from negative to positive. In fact with reframes the endresult is usually the same. Changing to a positive focus shifts an athlete's attitudefrom passive to active.
Activity: Athletes are used to setting performance goals, along with milemarkers, to maintain high performance. Use the same strategy for recovery. Setlong term goals with benchmarks along the way to stay focused on healing andquickly returning to play.
In fact challenge yourself. See if you can decide on an earlier return toplay date than expected. Stretch yourself a little and see if you are up to thechallenge to mentally focus on what is possible to heal as quickly as possible.Making a decision, then acting with intention to do whatever is necessary,influences outcome driven goals.
Have you been training for an important event and ended up with aninjury, throwing everything off course? It is easy to become discouraged.Winning athletes look for opportunities to move beyond the current obstacle.Apply this principle to take charge of the healing process.
Success begins with a positive mind-set. Combining your physical training with a winners mindset creates a comprehensive training program to deliver quick results.

Even if trucks with a bonnet covering the engine in front of the cab are called 'Conventional' trucks in e.g. the USA, the truck with the engine placed under the cab/seat has always been an natural alternative (in fact the first truck in the world of 1896 was a truck of this type, with the driver´s seat placed over the engine).
Moving the engine, removing the bonnet
In the early 1930´s with increasing number of trucks using the fairly bad European roads of the day, the permitted axle pressures had to be rather limited due to the severe demands put on the road system. The problem of creating a more even axle load between the axles of a truck, with the engine placed over the front wheels and the cab behind the engine, helped the development of F-trucks, i.e. without a bonnet in front of the cab.
Volvo was interested in using this basic principle and as a result of this the LV75 was presented and introduced at the Amsterdam Motor Show in Holland early in 1933. The LV75 soon became a rather popular truck for special applications like garbage transport. Its most common use, however, was as a chassis used for light- to medium-duty buses in rural traffic.
Fitting the chassis and front axles
The design of the LV75 was made in a fashion which sounds very much like the design method of the 1990´s, i.e. as a 'family concept'. In general, the chassis was identical to the LV74 truck, i.e. with a side-valve petrol engine of 65 bhp. To compensate for the increased share of the GVW being over the front axle, however, the designers chose to use the front axle from the heavy-duty LV68-series of trucks.
The LV75-series trucks, however, was bound to become a single example of series produced, up unto Volvo F-trucks in the mid-1950´s. When it came to buses, however, the fashion soon changed. The Volvo buses from 1935 on normally featured an engine which was placed in or under the bus body.

Working at a 7-11 during a robbery is a pretty frightening and humiliating experience. Even more humiliating is when the robbers lock you in a freezer afterward.
And even more humiliating than that? When the robbers are too incompetent to remove the ATM they came for, so they steal your wallet, instead:
Police say they couldn't get the ATM but did leave with the clerk's wallet, which they say contained about $400.
They say the clerk was eventually able to get out of the freezer and dial 911 and was not hurt.
Not bodily hurt. His pride is a different story.

BERKELEY -- More than 30 Cal football players will enjoy Southern California homecomings Saturday when the Golden Bears play No. 11 UCLA at the Rose Bowl. But none of them has a story quite like freshman running back Jeffrey Coprich.
"Jeff's not supposed to be alive today," said his father, Jeffrey Coprich Sr.
On the day the younger Coprich turned 3 years old in 1996, he and his family were involved in a car accident when a tire blowout caused their vehicle to flip on a family vacation.
His older sister Essence, 7, was killed. So was a cousin. His father, the vehicle's driver, suffered head injuries.
"I almost didn't make it myself," said Coprich, who also sustained significant injuries to his head.
"Sometimes it gets really painful to talk about," his father said.
But Coprich overcame the trauma and the family has made certain Essence is not forgotten.
They worked with congresswoman Maxine Waters, the I Am Foundation and the Los Angeles Unified School District to secure a grant to purchase new books for the library at 116th Street Elementary in Watts, where Essence attended school.
Reading was important to Coprich because for years after the accident it was a struggle for him.
"There were setbacks due to that," he said. "When it came to school, I was kind of behind. A lot of kids have the same issues as me."
His father could not be more proud.
"Jeff went through a whole lot," Jeffrey Sr. said. "To see him at Cal and sitting in a classroom, functioning in his right mind, that's huge."
Appreciative of how far he'd come by high school, Coprich hatched the idea of establishing the Essence K. Coprich Book Club, designed to help youngsters become more capable and enthusiastic readers.
Once a month during his senior year, Coprich met with about 20 youngsters of all ages from throughout Los Angeles, providing the encouragement to read. Kids read books and wrote reports about them. The club remains active today.
"Reading wasn't my strong suit and I wanted to help out a lot of kids," he said. "It was a chance for me to interact, and it's giving a lot of confidence to them."
Said his father, "These are inner-city kids, and Jeffrey says, `I want to see all of them want go to college.' "
Cal coach Sonny Dykes said is impressed by Coprich, who was honored in high school for his community work.
"When you're 19, 20 years old, you think the world's about you," Dykes said. "It shows a lot of maturity to focus on something other than just himself."
-- Dykes has great memories of his only previous trip to the Rose Bowl. He and his wife took advantage of a bye week in the schedule when he was working at Arizona several years ago to attend a U2 concert at the Pasadena landmark.
"Hopefully, this trip will be as fun as the last one," said Dykes of Saturday night's game.
For Cal players who grew up in Southern California, the trek home is personal.
"Nobody wants to get embarrassed in front of your home crowd," said sophomore receiver Bryce Treggs, who grew up in Inglewood and expects 20 friends and family members to attend.
The Bears (1-4, 0-2 Pac-12) are hoping to create turn a corner after opening conference play with one-sided losses to Oregon and Washington State. The Bruins (4-0, 1-0) are the fourth Top-25 opponent Cal has faced.
Sophomore receiver Chris Harper, a Northridge native, said trying to alter the course of the season adds urgency to the homecoming.
"There's more determination to go to our hometown and impress our family and friends," he said.
-- UCLA coach Jim Mora Jr., said there is no chance the Bruins will be distracted or overconfident Saturday after losing 43-17 at Cal year.
"It might not have been that close," he said. "We really learned a difficult lesson, but an important lesson that day: Every week you have to be dialed into the opponent you're playing. That one was on me."

Liverpool Message Board
Luis must have been the most disappointed of everyone with the Zenit result and I understand why everyone is concerned that he might get itchy feet next season.
Those were two brilliantly taken free kicks but I gotta say that for me, the second one was one of the most brilliantly executed free kicks that I have ever seen. The way it swerved, turned and trajected was just unbelievable.
Unforunately it came back to our inability to score in the final minutes of the game. To need only one goal and have the last 30 minutes to get it having already scored 3 is too good a chance to waste. Great Liverpool teams of the past would have accomplished the task blindfolded. Unless Brendan instils a 90-plus minutes fighting spirit in the team, then this heartbreak will continue to happen. All in all I am really proud of the lads and guttered for Jamie, being the fighter that he is, I am sure he is still blaming himself for our exit.
Well done lads!Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Ron j ...think u description of this board layout as a load of abject #$%$ was being charitable....it stinks ! Hope we can hang on to Louis but think that the likelyhood of that is slim as PEP GUARDIOLA's brother is Louis agent ! As u say it sounds like the first tentative distancing from his statement that he "wants to be here for a long time"...time will tell is he going to be one of our ALL TIME HEROES or just another mercenary who parroted the right phrases while he was with us till when he ...wasnt.
dave...please indicate to me where in any of my posts I have stated that I thought FSG werewanting to sell now and"make a quick buck" ? Indeed what I have stated is the very opposite...I have stated they got something for their money they didnt just make a charitable donation to LFC yes but that does not suggest they want to sell now ? I have stated numerous times that if they hang on the FRANCHISE LFC will inevitably increase in value. So...?

I think you've stated a number of times, including many on this thread, you thought Suarez would be off this summer and that the owners would be happy to cash in on such a sale.
Agree with that Dave. Also, whilst not likely, I wouldn't yet rule out 4th. We've got a run of fixtures coming up that look kind on paper with nothing else to play for. Spurs have got a difficult run. If West Ham can get an unlikely result against them tonight and we can beat them then I think things might get interesting. Might as well end on a positive note :-)

Got to be honest this thread has me scratching my head a little. I know some do like to look on the darker side of things, and then come up with what if's, but does anyone have any evidence to support the dour outlook this thread portrays, or is it just wild speculation and guess work?
Sure Suarez wants CL football, as do the rest of the squad, the club, the owners and all the supporters. I'm also sure if we don't in a reasonable period of time get back to the CL players like Suarez will be tempted to look at other clubs. But does anyone have any comment, and suggestion, any evidence at all that the time is this summer?
The lad just signed a long term contract last summer; he's had nothing but good things to day about the city and the club. No one promised or even suggested that it was 4th or bust this season, so where is the link? How does two plus two equal 22!
Same thing on the owners. Because one owner takes money out of a club does it mean our owners must be doing the same? Because they are American does it mean they must be shady? Does anyone have again any evidence because from the outside it look like they've spent clearing debt, spent in every transfer window, but maybe I'm missing something? Does someone have a secret memo, maybe a paper trail showing the deposits into a Swiss account, or maybe its again two plus two equals, well whatever you want it to!

Dave all Im saying is that the owners are hard headed business men not besotted teenagers in love with LFC. All the sponsorship money who trousers that ? Yes the owners have spent money in the transfer windows since they bought us what top clubs owners havent ? BUT what about the money that has been incoming from those we have shipped out I have no idea what the balance is being honest about it BUT 50 mill from theTorres mugging of Chelski we cant classify as chump change no matter how and who it was reinvested in, money back on Charlie Adam money back out of the Aquillani sale and so on and so forth .All Im saying is look at all this and dont just consider the money they have spent ...Monies IN ...Monies OUT...thats your basic accountancy right ? This I feel is a far more realistic way of looking at just who and what our owners are rather than this dreamy idea that they are the most altruistic people inthe world ready to always dig deep to maintain our place at the top table of World Football without considering that they have found a very useful place to park their money in very difficult times for the world economy. They Know THE FRANCHISE LFC will always rise in value and give thema great return in the end game.
Hi Dave
On the Suarez thing I don't think anyone has any evidence one way or another (unless they know him/his agent of course). I think people (including me) are thinking that it's a distinct possibility given that he's one of the best players in the country and our season has ended in failure (assuming that we don't go and get 4th of course!!!).
He gave an interview a little while back which suggested that CL football this season wasn't the be all and end all - more that he wanted to see us progress as a club. My guess is if we finish the season strongly and he gets assurances of quality coming in then he'll stay - otherwise I think he'll go.
mel n...totally agree mate. Think Suarez will be gone end of season hope not the owners must do EVERYTHING possible to hang on to this genius...have to say that second goal of his was probably finest free kick Ive ever seen ! If he does leave be sure it will be down to FSG simply wanting to cash in on a 18 mill squid profit and their money they laid out for him back intheir back bin.

Colin, I just don't understand why you think the owners want to rape and pillage the club in view of the money they've forked out over the last couple of seasons. A lot of that money has been 'wasted' on players no longer at the club. Don't forget as well, they always allow players to be brought in before others are shifted on too, which is a pretty firm financial commitment. When you're worth £500 million, why take 18 million? It's not going to enhance your lifestyle is it? I can't understand people who think that footy is some huge cash cow, it's not, particularly if your not a successful club and need to spend money to become successful and indeed maintain that success.
You keep saying they just want the money. What is your evidence? You'll have to do better than 'Its just a feeling I have' mate!

The Salish and Kootenai Tribes could lose its Law and Order Department if a new BIA proposal is approved. The proposal is a Dept. of Interior-sponsored plan to stop funding Tribal law enforcement efforts on reservations under state jurisdiction. The Bureau said the proposal will affect less than 10 reservations and save $1 million. One-third of the $1 million comes to the Flathead, how- ever, and its loss could "result in the almost total loss of Tribal law enforcement capabilities" here, according to a letter of opposition signed by Tribal Chairman Mickey Pablo. If approved, the proposal "will (also) result in an additional financial burden to the state (of Montana)," which it probably can't carry, the letter goes on. "The proposed rule will cause the Tribes and other Reservations to lose vital law enforcement services, which are provided by the Tribal Law Enforcement Program," the letter continues. "These law enforcement services have increased steadily over the last five years. . . The majority of these services are performed by Tribal officers in those areas of the Reservation in which local non-Tribal law enforcement personnel are either reluctant, or simply fail, to provide services." Further, the five-page letter states, "The proposed rule constitutes an arbitrary, capricious and unwarranted inference with Tribal self-government. . .

This year's camp-out will be a followup to last year's, says Sorrell, except it will focus on Reservation residents, whereas the camp-out last year was for people throughout the northwest. She is asking the public's assistance in making an invitation list because they are honoring those who have chosen sobriety and are in recovery. "We would like names of people having any length of sobriety," says Sorrell. Although those special people will be honored, everyone is encouraged to join in. The Sobriety Camp-out was scheduled for this time of year, she said, not only because it marks the beginning of the pow wow season, and other summer activities, but it is also the "beginning of a cycle of destruction." Sorrell says with the camp-out people can begin the summer on a note of sobriety, and have some fun without chemical substances. If you have names of people to include on the guest list, or if you'd like additional information, contact Abby Dupuis at 676-2770.

Pappas adds perspective to '67 riots
John Halverson

August 06, 2013 | 11:22 AM
I sat down with John Pappas at Caribou Coffee the other day to discuss Lake Geneva's July 4th, 1967, riots.
He was dressed casually in a white T-shirt looking like a man who is as comfortable with himself as a man can be.
And as his grandson said in a recent letter to the editor, the 83-year-old Pappas has an infectious laugh that comes to him easily.
Pappas was born in 1930, his father was the patriarch of the Greek family behind many of Lake Geneva's restaurants.

As befits the man, he reflects on the riots with a mix of wit and seriousness that makes for something resembling perspective.
As anyone who is following our riot stories knows, that event ended with 20-something year old kids wreaking havoc, destroying property and pretty much acting like a group of anarchists. They didn't settle down until the National Guard came to town. When the rioters moved to elsewhere in the county, they were met by citizens with guns in their hands.
Most of the incarcerated rioters left town with a slap on the wrist, some finger wagging by their parents, and maybe a trip to the barber.
But they'd stayed long enough to make local history — history Pappas knows as well as anyone.
So what's his view on the the cause of the riots?
"The times," he said, speaking of the rebellious '60s.
The transition from youthful revelers to youthful rioters had started to build for years. In fact, Pappas said the only thing that stopped unruly crowds the summer before was rain.
But on July 4, 1967, there was no rain. It was hot, and the students were cordoned off.
Pappas said the police had barricaded a portion of the downtown. One barricade was at the corner of Cook and Main, another at Broad and Main and the third at Flat Iron Park.
That had the effect of jamming hundreds of kids into a small area on a hot day.
"It was an area for kids to congregate," Pappas said. "But that's what fouled everything up.
"If cars had been allowed to get through it would have lessened the trouble, Pappas said.
One of the early igniters occurred at what was then Anchor Inn (now Fat Cats).
Pappas recalls a fire truck coming to break up "a bunch of toughs mixing it up." The firemen used their hoses to try and quell the crowd, but it had the opposite effect. He recalls that the "toughs" took the hoses away from the firemen and gave them a dose of their own medicine.
Another igniter was the media one of the TV stations.
"Nothing was going on," Pappas said. "So the TV people said 'get up and do something.'"
The kids starting passing people overhead as they might do at a rock concert.
Someone started throwing cue balls through the glass at the penny arcade.
"There weren't more than 10, maybe 12, bad ones in the group. The rest were followers," Pappas said.
The most notable damage from the rioters was the destruction of an American flag and the statue in Flat Iron Park.
Pappas also noted that windows were broken at the chamber of commerce building, and when boards were put up to cover the damage, the rioters ripped them off.
Paul Wertz, who ran a business located just south of what is now the Cove, brought out a shotgun, Pappas recalls. He fired it, too.
Did it stop the rioters?
"Not really," Pappas said.
The police used dogs, but Elmer Zingle, who ran the boat company, complained about being bit on the backside.
As always, Pappas saw humor where there was humor to see.
"He said the problem is the dogs don't know the difference between the good guys and bad guys," Pappas said with a laugh.
The dog tactic also affected Pappas' restaurant, then called Georgia's International Café.
A dog was unleashed by police on a long line of kids outside. The kids were spooked and crashed the restaurant's plate glass window.
The riot "wrecked business for the rest of the summer," Pappas recalled. Unfortunately, his restaurant had stocked up on food for the season — "200 dozen hamburger buns, 60 loaves of rye bread, 200 of white and 10 of whole wheat."
Pappas recalls with the precision required of a restaurant owner. Kids coming from northern Wisconsin hoping for summer restaurant jobs were stranded.
Business started to come back in 1968, Pappas said, but it took years to be robust again.
After the rioters had been pushed out of town, Pappas said, the locals came out to review the damage.
He compared it to the scene in the Western movie, "High Noon," when the townspeople who were hiding when the showdown occurred, finally came out to inspect the outcome.
Only in Lake Geneva, the locals were followed by glass repair trucks eager to offer their services to fix what had been broken.
Pappas said it was the Kent State shootings a year later that put an end to youthful riots in the country.
Years later, in the reporting on the riots, a magazine postulated that the Lake Geneva riots weren't far from turning into Kent State a year before Kent State happened.
If it had happened, the recollections of Pappas and others would have been painted in much darker tones.
As it is, any story told by Pappas is a joy to hear.

Four years after a federal law required public companies to disclose the pay gap between their CEOs and other workers, government regulators are still mulling how to put the measure into effect, with proponents saying it's crucial to help halt excessive compensation and critics calling it costly and ill-conceived.
The delay, which consumer advocates have attributed to opposition by business groups, prompted 13 U.S. senators -- including California Democrat Barbara Boxer -- to write the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in November, urging it to quickly approve a rule to implement the law.
"Over the last 20 years, incomes for the top 1 percent of earners have grown by more than 86 percent, while incomes for the other 99 percent have grown by less than 7 percent," they declared. "Investors need to know to what extent skyrocketing disparities between CEO and worker pay are justified."
Companies were required to publish the ratio of their CEO's pay to the median pay of their employees as one of many provisions in the 2010 Dodd—Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which aimed to bring greater accountability and transparency to the economy. But it took three years before the SEC proposed a rule spelling out how companies should follow the law. Although the agency previously has indicated it might formally adopt the rule in October -- paving the way for it to go into effect in 2016 -- the SEC's spokeswoman, Judith Burns, declined comment on whether that timetable is realistic.
CEOs at top U.S. firms on average make nearly 296 times more than their typical employee, a dramatic increase from 1965 when they were making 20 times as much, according to a study by the Economic Policy Institute, a nonpartisan Washington think tank.
No comparable pay data is available for Bay Area companies. However, the median pay of CEOs at the top 100 local companies increased from $3,395,611 in 2007 to $8,174,592 in 2013, though a few higher-paying firms were added to the sample in 2011, according to the Equilar Silicon Valley CEO Pay Study, conducted for the Bay Area News Group. The best-paid local CEO -- Larry Ellison of Redwood City tech giant Oracle -- received $78.4 million in total compensation last year. Oracle declined comment on the proposed regulation and its CEO-to-worker pay ratio.
Lawrence Mishel, the institute's president, said CEO pay is particularly troubling because many bosses are handsomely rewarded despite doing little to make their companies more productive. In other words, he said, "they haven't expanded the pie, they're just getting a bigger piece of the pie," leaving less money for their employees.
Former Labor Secretary Robert Reich, now a professor of public policy at UC Berkeley, agreed.
"The average household is poorer today than it was in the year 2000, adjusted for inflation, so you have a problem," he said. "If the middle class and poor don't have enough purchasing power, they can't keep the economy growing." Moreover, he said, if companies spend exorbitant sums on their CEOs, they have less money for research and development or investor dividends.
In a letter to the SEC, Georgetown University associate finance professor James Angel called the rule "a clumsy yardstick for judging executive compensation" and "of limited usefulness to investors or activists."
He said one CEO might be deemed overpaid simply because they have a lot of low-wage manufacturing employees, while another might look comparatively underpaid because they've off-shored all their manufacturing to a foreign sweatshop. Moreover, he said, it's unnecessary to make companies compute their worker's pay, since the government already publishes worker-pay data for many industries.
Another criticism is that calculating the CEO-to-worker pay ratio could cost some companies millions of dollars a year.
But in its comments to the SEC, Santa Clara chipmaker Intel, which has about 105,000 employees, estimated that "our compliance costs will run approximately $15,000 annually." And in a letter to the agency, San Jose State University professor emeritus Eloise Hamann and her husband argued that the pay rule was important, adding that they are heavily invested in public companies.
"We absolutely do not want to be part of the problem by supporting companies with lopsided CEO-to-worker pay ratios which can harm morale and productivity among a company's workforce," they said. "This disclosure will help large funds allocate resources to the companies that re-invest in their workers."
Apart from the SEC's deliberations, state Sen. Mark DeSaulnier, D-Concord, and Sen. Loni Hancock, D-Berkeley, introduced a bill this year to boost taxes on corporations with wide CEO-to-worker pay disparities. Although that measure failed to pass a key vote in May, "this is far too important to let it die on its first attempt," DeSaulnier said, adding that he's considering amending the bill. "We cannot have a true economic recovery when CEOs are lavished with bonuses at the expense of workers."

Adrià Julià
Adrià Julià has a multidisciplinary practice encompassing film installations, performance, sculpture, photography and printed material. His extensive projects examine the means of representation and reception of events of personal and collective historical dimensions, and the ways in which they function as documents of physical and psychological experiences. His elaborate installations are the result of investigating regulated and mediated behaviours, readapted and re-contextualized through performance – sometimes irrational, uncommon or even antisocial – and simultaneously evoke theatricality and truthfulness.
Adrià Julià (1974, Spain) lives and works in Maastricht and Los Angeles. He is currently an art researcher at the Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht. Solo exhibitions include Notes on the Missing Oh, Project Art Centre, Dublin, Ireland (2011); Indications for Another Place, Museo Tamayo, Mexico DF, Mexico (2010) and Ruins of Speech, Galeria Soledad Lorenzo, Madrid, Spain (2010); A Means of Passing the Time, LA, Orange County Museum of Art, Newport Beach, USA (2006); La Villa Basque, Vernon, California, Artists Space, New York, USA (2005). Adrià was part of the group exhibition Melanchotopia, Witte de With, Rotterdam, The Netherlands (2011); Trust – Seoul Media City, Seoul Museum of Art, Seoul, Korea (2010); Exile of the Imaginary, Politics / Aesthetics / Love, Generali Foundation, Vienna, Austria (2007) and participated in the 7a Bienal do Mercosul, Porto Alegre, Brazil (2009) and the 9 Biennale de Lyon, Lyon, France (2007).
Three Artists Walk into a Bar…
Three Artists Walk into a Bar… is an exhibition that takes place outside of a gallery space, on television, radio, Internet, as performances and interventions in the street, in a supermarket, grocery store, public urinal, theatre, park, football stadium or cinema. Using the quality of humour to test the potential of art as a critical instrument for the analysis of social, political and cultural issues, this exhibition aims to build a community of peers, professionals and a variety of publics. The commitment to humour stems from a belief in its social quality; in its capacity to bring subversive voices and unexpected perspectives to mainstream awareness.
Between 13 April and 12 May 2012, more than fifty new works of art are produced – the result of an open invitation to students and residents of every graduate and post-academic fine art programme in the Netherlands. Participation implies three rules of engagement: the artists are asked to produce new works that make use of the critical potential of humour, realized outside of the gallery space and made public within the time frame of the exhibition period. The decision to work with peers has been motivated by the urge to gather a generation of young people who is directly affected by the impact of the current political attitude towards culture. It stems from the desire to produce a fertile ground for an unexpected multitude of voices to speak out in an open platform, towards the common will to respond and react, through art, to the challenges of the present time.
Three Artists Walk into a Bar… tests the multitude of possibilites and strategies for the distribution of art: whether the art works develop a one on one encounter, reach an unsuspecting public, or are visible to a mass, there will always be someone who 'gets the joke', with or without consent.

Version: The one in the Ubuntu repo - this is the only one I can get working.
I have a Ubuntu machine running PSM. On this, PMS is serving media files in a couple of local folders AND an USB disk connected to the PC.
I've been running this for several months, serving both local folders and a USB disk connected to the pc running PMS. It's been working fine. Suddenly, today, I receive a "Protocol error" when trying to access the shared USB disk from the PS3. I open the media server in the PS3 browser, and open the folder representing the USB disk on the PC with PMS, and the error immediately occurs. All other folders served by PMS - the local folders - works fine, but the USB disk folder doesn't anymore.
No changes whatsoever have been done on the server or in PMS - it suddenly stopped working, and no amount of reboots of the pc or the PS3 changes anything. I can access all the shared folders from the PS3 except the USB disk.
Any ideas?

'The Bachelor' Season Premiere: TV Recap
Sean, having healed the heart Emily broke, is a new man and 25 women are going to pretend to love him so they can be on television. We don't need to get to know the women this week. If past seasons are any indication, there will be dental assistants, "consultants," and pharmaceutical reps, all looking for a fairy tale and borrowing Vanna White's wardrobe.
Before we can enjoy a parade of spray-tanned ladies with waxed armpits, Arie stops by. The men babble about Emily and what follows is so contrived and scripted I won't ruin your day by telling you about it. At the end, Sean says he is pretty sure he's in for the wildest night of his life, which makes you worry for the life he has already lived.
Drinking game: Take a shot every time a young woman under the age of 30 laments how she hasn't found love yet and doesn't understand why she isn't married.
Jackie, 25, marks Sean by whipping out a tube of lipstick, applying it to her lips while giving him bedroom eyes, and kissing his cheek. We're going to have to keep our eyes on her.
Before Jackie can bask in her victory, Selma, 29, wipes off that tramp's lipstick stain. We have to keep our eyes on her, too.
Cruise ship entertainer Kelly has used an abundance of spray tan on her body. She makes things very awkward by singing a song, flatly, she wrote about Sean.
Katie, 27, is a yoga instructor and you know what that means.
Beauty salons are well represented. Ashley P., 28, immediately starts talking about "Fifty Shades of Grey," and pulls a tie out of her breasts. What follows, we cannot speak of.
Lest you think things are getting dull, Robyn, 24, steps out of the limo and performs gymnastics in the driveway. She falls out of the last tumble and it is humiliating. Sean politely says, "That is definitely going to leave a lasting impression."
Paige, 25, from "Bachelor Pad 3," is on this season. I wish I could say I remember her.
It's a parade of 24-year-olds. Tierra hugs Sean twice and they are both very glad and she says something vaguely inspirational about an open-heart tattoo on her finger she hopes he will complete. Suddenly, Sean tells her, "Wait right here," and disappears. When he returns he offers her a rose.
The claws are immediately out when Tierra joins the cocktail party, frenzied panic in the air. If looks could kill, Tierra would be in a coffin and buried, deep.
For some reason, Keriann, 29, drove 2,725 miles to meet Sean. I don't even know.
There's some awkward football playing with Lesley M., 25, but it's a ruse so she can stare at his ass—understandable.
Italian Lauren, 27, has a message from her father about breaking his daughter's heart. That's not uncomfortable.
None of these women hold a candle, though, to the last woman—Lindsay, 24, is wearing a wedding dress. She plants a kiss on Sean's lips then pretends she's just being "goofy."
There's a twist, though, a 26th woman—Kacie B. from Ben's season. In the cocktail party, the women are all aflutter about this turn of events. They also spend a great deal of time talking about Sean as a modern Adonis. Sean is everything, okay? Respect it.
During the party, Sean gives Desiree (Des) a rose and it's clear he is developing a type—women with long, dark hair. Once again, the women freak out. They are jealous, stressed, and as one puts it, "mean mugging." What is going on? Why are some women getting roses before the exalted rose ceremony? Thus begins the greatest mystery of our time.
Among the women with roses, they try to categorize the kind of rose it might be. One declares, to Tierra, that she definitely doesn't have a first impression rose. Surprisingly, the woman who did gymnastics gets a rose.
One woman says, "I put myself out there," but it's the first night. Perhaps she doesn't understand the meaning of the words, "I put myself out there."
Ashley P. is very drunk and dirty dancing, alone. When Sean and Ashley are alone, she tells him when he "got dumped" by Emily, she called her mother and said she was going to marry him. Sean says, "Fifty Shades of Grey may have become fifty shades of drunk tonight." Ashley is not long for this show.
In the party, half the girls are gleeful because they have roses. They are the 1% of "The Bachelor." The other girls are bitter and increasingly aggressive. These cocktail parties are like nature programs—when animals attack! There are also tears. It's so tragic to not get a rose exactly when you want one on a television show that makes a mockery of love.
During her alone time, Sarah mentions she was born with one arm and says she doesn't want to be perceived as disabled. She adds that she doesn't want Sean to be uncomfortable and he assures her he isn't. He gives her a rose because he enjoys talking to her.
At long last, the rose ceremony. Amanda, Leslie M., Kacie, Christie, Daniela, Taryn, and Lindsay also get roses. Watching the scorned women make evil sad desperate eyes is priceless yet unbearable. A few women of color are still around! Take that, lawsuit!
It goes without saying but this season is going to be great.

LOS ANGELES -- A trip to the renovated Pauley Pavilion did not get the Cal basketball team back on track in its Pac-12 Conference opener on Thursday night.
Five days after losing to Harvard in its nonconference finale, the Bears fell behind by double-digits at halftime and lost 79-65 to streaking UCLA.
It was just the second time in five seasons under coach Mike Montgomery the Bears (8-5) have dropped their conference opener.
Allen Crabbe, who scored 21 points, said the Bears shouldn't make too much out of one defeat.
"We're down about it -- nobody wants to lose a conference game, especially the first one," he said. "We've got to get the next one. We've got 17 more conference games. We can't dwell on this one."
Cal plays Saturday night at USC, which opened conference play with a win over Stanford.
UCLA star freshman Shabazz Muhammad was excited to get past the Bears in the league opener. "They're going to win a lot of games in the Pac-12," he said.
In front of 9,406 fans, UCLA (11-3) won its sixth straight game.
Cal trailed 38-28 at halftime and was down 46-30 just 21/2 minutes into the second half.
But the Bears fought back, led by Crabbe, who attacked the basket and scored 16 second-half points.
Crabbe, who shot just 2 of 9 in the first half, scored 10 points in a span of 41/2 minutes midway through the second half, the last of those pulling Cal within 61-57 with 6:30 left.
That was as close as the Bears got. Kyle Anderson, one of three freshmen in UCLA's starting lineup, banked in a 12-footer, then made two free throws with 4:57 left, and the Bruins' lead was back to 65-57.
Muhammad then buried a 3-pointer and UCLA led by 11 with 4:09 left.
Crabbe said the Bears' poor start came back to haunt them.
"We came out flat, didn't have any energy," he said.
Richard Solomon had 11 points and 10 rebounds for the Bears, and David Kravish chipped in nine points and 12 rebounds. Justin Cobbs had 12 points and six assists but shot 6 for 18.
Cal missed all 13 of its 3-point attempts, its second straight outing without making a shot from beyond the arc.
"They're taking it away," Crabbe said of the approach opposing defenses are taking. "We're not trying to force 3-pointers, I know I'm not. If they give me the lane, I'm going to take what they give me."
Cal tried to compensate by hitting the glass hard. The Bears out-rebounded UCLA 45-37, including 20 offensive boards. But they turned those into just 10 second-chance points.
"When you're down, you try to make every play," Crabbe said. "We've just got to finish on the second opportunity."
Anderson, a 6-foot-8 guard, finished with 19 points and 12 rebounds, his fourth double-double of the season. Muhammad had 16 points, despite shooting 5 for 13, and point guard Larry Drew II dished out nine assists without a turnover.
The Bruins outscored Cal 12-0 from the 3-point arc and 23-5 from the free throw line.
The Bears played without senior guard Brandon Smith, out for the second straight game with a concussion. Sophomore Ricky Kreklow, who had missed eight of the Bears' first 12 games with a lingering foot injury, dressed and played in a reserve role but went to the floor with 16:11 left in the game and limped off the court.
"It's really hard right now. We don't have a lot of options," Montgomery said. "I thought the kids really competed, and had we made a couple point-blank shots, it could have been a whole different outcome."

STOCKTON - Cases upon cases of empty glass bottles get placed down onto conveyer belts at Quest Industries, LLC, in Stockton on a daily basis, then are sent through a maze of glazes, enamels, paints, imprints and labels.
What comes out is what grocery stores put on their shelves: A perfectly labeled bottle of Skinnygirl vodka, or a different bottle of liquor; the kind that have those fancy windows that let drinkers look through the liquid at a painting or decoration.
It's artwork on a bottle. And it's mass-produced in Stockton.
Quest Industries has been a high-end bottle labeling "job plant" since 2000, General Manager Ryan Reed said.
Located in a 70,000-square foot-pocket of industrial buildings just of Arch Road near Highway 99, the plant, which has a staff of 24 full-time employees, produces thousands of newly labeled bottles that will be sent back to distilleries to be filled with liquor and shipped all over the country.
Reed said the New Jersey-based company has three plants, including the one in Stockton. Back east, the focus is on labeling high-end beauty products and fragrance bottles.
"Because so much of the fashion industry is in New York, they do that section of the business there," Reed said. "We started out here because of the wine industry. What we found is that most wineries do smaller batches or go with labels (instead of painted bottles). So we switched our focus to liquor."
A showroom filled with bottles ranging from Jim Beam whiskey to SmartWater shows how Quest can serve the needs of any beverage company. The trick is finding the right way to move the client's idea from something that looks good in a drawing to what looks good on a bottle.
"Most of the time they come to us with an idea," Reed said. "We're not set up (for graphic design). We only recommend changes that will help us get the right design on their package."

Brewer & Shipley, consisting of Mike Brewer and Tom Shipley, was a very popular folk music duo during the late 1960�s and early 1970�s. They are most remembered for the single �One Toke Over The Line� which was released in 1970 on their third album, �Tarkio�. Six years later, in 1976, the pair released their seventh album, titled �Welcome To Riddle Bridge� under the Capitol Records label.
The album title pays homage to Riddle Bridge in Pulaski County USA and the cover art shows Brewer & Shipley standing on the 12 panel Pennsylvania through truss bridge that was built in 1911 by Canton Bridge Company. The bridge featured on that cover was replaced circa 1987 and now serves as a footbridge in Nebraska as a part of the Arbor Day Foundation headquarters.
Today, Mike Brewer resides outside of Branson, Missouri and Tom Shipley lives and teaches in Rolla, Missouri in Phelps County, which neighbors Pulaski County.
Locals, visitors, and tourists still gather at the Riddle Bridge site (located at the end of Y Highway) to enjoy the scenic and dramatic bluffs and the natural beauty of the Gasconade River.

Ohio's 'cleaning fairy' gets 1 year of probation
Published: Tuesday, November 27, 2012 at 7:04 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 27, 2012 at 7:04 a.m.
CLEVELAND (AP) — An Ohio woman dubbed the "cleaning fairy" after she broke into a home, cleaned it and left a $75 bill has been put on probation for one year.
A judge sentenced 53-year-old Susan Warren of Elyria (eh-LEER'-ee-uh) on Monday in Cleveland on her guilty plea to attempted burglary. She also must do 20 hours of community service.
The woman told authorities she was driving by the Westlake house and "wanted something to do." She broke in, washed some coffee cups, took out the trash, vacuumed and dusted inside the house. Then she left a bill written on a napkin and included her phone number.
Warren says she owns a cleaning business and sometimes enters homes, cleans them and leaves a bill.

In the late part of summer tour '94, Phish got bored with their normal songs. Every night had a different breakout or rare song or cool jam or something. The band nicknamed the tour the "You snooze, you lose tour." This idea has carried over to later tours. After playing 2 completely sold out shows in Vegas for Halloween, the band responded to having an half-empty E Centre at the next show by playing all of Dark Side of the Moon. You snooze, you lose; don't blow off the weekday shows in the middle of nowhere. So when I discovered that I could fly to Boise for $90 rt and only miss a half day of work, I jumped at the chance. I will snooze not!
I am always somewhat excited about going somewhere new. Being able to hit a new town is rare these days, so I could hardly wait for the plane to land. When I got out of the plane, the very first thing I saw in the airport was a french fry dispenser; it was a vending machine that fried them after you put in coins. "Famous Potatoes" indeed.
I was playing this show by ear. The original plan was to rent a car, drive to the show, return it that night, and then sleep in the airport. That plan fell apart when it turned out that there were no available cars in Boise to be had. I had to take a taxi to the BSU Pavilion. The Grateful Dead played one show at BSU in 1983. It turned out that my taxi driver had given Mickey Hart a ride and received backstage passes.
Because I was so torn about what I was going to do about sleeping, I decided to not bring my tape deck to the show. That turned out to be a wise move. Despite what I was told over the phone, my tickets were not on the floor. Floor seats said "General Admission" on them; mine had a section and a seat. I waited in the GA line anyway, hoping to be stubbed down from the Bagel Boys (a couple of Phish fans who work at the Noah's near my house). [1]
When the Dead played there in 83, the fans didn't exactly respect the idea of staying in your seat. Pretty much everyone ended up on the floor. As a result, BSU had a different plan for this show. Everyone with floor seats had to enter through a special door. Then they would mark your ticket with a black marker, and give you a wrist band. Without the band, you couldn't go to the floor. I resigned myself to sit in the seating area and tried to get out of the floor line. The cops redirected me into the floor line. Hmmmmm time to play Jedi Master. Holding up my ticket to 4 different people, I willed them to not see that it wasn't a GA ticket. Sure enough, I received a marked section R9 ticket and a green wristband as testimony of my power over weak minds.
Anticipation ran high before the show opened. Rumors were passed around. Someone told me that they were rehearsing an album; a friend from the 94 tour showed me the setlist that she passed to Trey. Lights went out and the show opened with..... Chalk Dust Torture - a very standard call. While the YSYL potential went down, the version played was really strong. In fact the version of pretty much everything that entire set was strong. The setlist reads like a list of my personal favorite songs; "The Curtain", "Waste", "Loving Cup", "What's the Use", "Wading in the Velvet Sea", and "Farmhouse" were all played, and all played well. Farmhouse in particular made me happy because it made up for the horrible version played at the Gorge. Of the 5 shows I had seen this tour, it clearly was the best first set. Moreover, the venue was... well a tad on the small side. The back of the floor was roughly where the back of the first section was in Vancouver. I was able to walk up to the rail... and there was dancing room up there. I don't remember they last time I was able to do that.
The setlist had just enough rarities, that the You Snooze You Lose talk was all the rage. I was stoked enough from the first set that I tried to tell myself that it would be enough to just see a hot set, but I was afraid that I had bought into the hype. "Peaches en Regalia" opened, the first since 97, and I figured we were going to get something. What we got was a non-rare song - "AC/DC Bag." "AC/DC Bag" is a simple build and build and build energy song. About 5 minutes into the song though, right after the jam started, it changed. For the next 22 minutes, I was treated to one of the best jams I have ever seen. About halfway through this jam, and about 4 "!'s" into my notes, I heard a scream from the center of the crowd and out came the tortillas. Sure glow stick wars are now a tradition, but being surrounded by dozens of flying tortillas as the lights shone and the band raged is a moment that will be forever etched in my mind.
I'm not going to run through the rest of the set. Suffice it to say that the three remaining songs floored me, that I put this show in the top 10 - if not the top 5 - of all of the Phish shows I have ever seen. The only complaint I have at all is that the second set was a tad on the short side (57 minutes); the entire show can fit on two cd's. Despite that minor complaint though, I was quite happy. I was "WHOOOOOO!"ing and trying to remember why exactly I am not quitting my job and going on tour.
After the show, I found the Bagel Boys and they agreed to give me a ride to the Boise Airport. The cops were remarkably cool in the lot. We overheard one saying, "By the way, '6 Up'." [Deadhead slang for,"Look out, here come the cops."] They were very polite as they slowly got us all to leave. The Bagel Boys made sure I could get into the airport, and waved as I found a comfy couch and prepared to bed down. It was only after they left that it occurred to me that I could have just asked them for a ride home. A cop did come by to make sure that I did have a plane ticket, then it was time to kill a few hours before my flight left.
Failing to oversleep, I got into the plane. On the trip out to Seattle, we circled around Mt Rainier a few times before the captain finally announced that we wouldn't be able to land in Seattle. It turns out there was... fog there. Excuse me? What kind of plane goes to Seattle at 7 AM and can't handle fog? We ended up landing in the Yakima (WA) airport and waiting. And waiting. The only thing to do there, with no tv, internet kiosks, fast food places, or pretty much anything was to read the copy of the Encyclopedia Yearbook of 1967 that was lying around. In 1967, the Dow Jones Average went up 30.27 points to close for the year at.... 233.24. I also learned a lot about the China/USSR feuds and the race riots. When I finished with that, I went to the newsstand. No they had no food or magazines, but they did have a floatie pen that I bought for a certain collector of those.
Finally, after getting no news for 4 hours, after hearing stories that United regularly just gives up and rents a bus to drive people to town, I talked my way onto a Horizon Air flight [2]. We circled once or twice around Mt. Rainier and I got really nervous. Quickly we we reassured that this was just a temporary delay as SeaTac cleared out its backlog. To my left was Mt. Rainier. To my right was a priest. In my recent past was an extremely hot show. Surrounded by transcendence, I figured that another 10 minutes wouldn't kill me so I relaxed. Just another day on the tour.
[1] 2010 Note: 11 years later, one of the Bagel Boys attended my wedding. Kind of cool to be reminded of just meeting them.
[2] 2010 Note: Yes, talked my way onto a flight. In pre-9/11 days, not only could people hang out with departing passengers until their plane boards, but occasionally if a flight had extra room, you could ask nicely if they'd let you on it and every now and then they would. In retrospect this stuns me.
