SAN JOSE -- Mark Watson is showing flexibility in his fledgling coaching career with the Earthquakes.
He is weighing a formation change Saturday when winless San Jose (0-2-2) plays the second-place Colorado Rapids in Commerce, Colo.
Watson, in his first full year at San Jose, is not so stubborn to insist on using the time-honored 4-4-2 formation for all occasions. Note: He is partial to lining up with four defenders, four midfielders and two forwards.
But Watson might tweak it against the Rapids (3-1-1) because of questions at right fullback.
Here's the situation: The Quakes don't have a natural defender on the right side with starter Brandon Barklage questionable after suffering a thigh contusion last weekend. German Andreas Gorlitz is not ready as he recovers from a hamstring muscle issue.
Watson inserted J.J. Koval into the backline Sunday when Barklage went down. The Stanford rookie performed admirably but is a central midfielder probably best suited as Sam Cronin's backup.
"The way he responded after Brandon's injury, he once again is the discussion to start Saturday," Watson said this week.
No doubt San Jose's coaches have options. They could move speedy midfielder Cordell Cato to the backline and start Yannick Djalo in the right midfield slot. While that combination could create a potent attack it also would leave the Quakes' defense vulnerable.
Koval would be a strong defensive presence but perhaps not add much to the offense. The Earthquakes rely on crosses from either side to create scoring opportunities and Koval is not experienced at service into the penalty box.
Atiba Harris is another option. The well-traveled veteran joined the Quakes this year in a trade with Colorado for Marvin Chavez. So far, neither player has contributed much to their new teams.
But the 6-foot-3 Harris is an intriguing possibility to play in the midfield because he is built like a center back and is good at connecting passes. He might be a better pairing if Cato returns to the backline.
"I love pushing forward," he said, adding he can help control balls in the air.
Watson, as usual, declined to talk about his lineup.
But here is what he said about the Rapids under new coach Pablo Mastroeni, who took over when Oscar Pareja left this year for FC Dallas:
"They've looked different in the past three games. Sometimes it's formation, sometimes it's personnel."
The Quakes have spent the week identifying Colorado's main characteristics "and having our players prepared for any little adjustments that are made," Watson added. "Every game they come up with something a little different so we have to be prepared for whatever they do."
Mastroeni has the Rapids playing with a 4-4-2 formation although they used a diamond against Toronto FC last weekend.
Under Pareja, Colorado primarily played with a 4-3-3, adding an extra striker into the attack.
Watson sounded as if he is most comfortable with the 4-4-2 because of its flexibility during games.
"If we look how the teams are playing now, they are overloading numbers in the midfield," the coach said. "One of our jobs is making sure we can handle that."
By lining up with four midfielders, Watson can move his players around quickly to adjust to opponent's strategies. But he also indicated that he might consider matching numbers in the midfield, which means either one fewer defender or forward.
San Jose, however, might not need to worry about that with the presence of Djalo. The Portuguese winger looked impressive while playing the second half Sunday against Columbus.
He operated in the middle as much as the outside, which is exactly what Watson wanted.
"He's very good beating players wide but also very comfortable coming inside and adding that extra number but being very dynamic and helping us attacking from those spots," Watson said. "He does things to make himself less predictable. It's one of the things we wanted to add to the team."
But the committee ignored the more egregious act: Gonzalez had knocked Wondolowski to the ground with a blindside forearm although sitting on a yellow card.
The referees probably should have sent the defender off with a second yellow card.
"I think the video speaks for itself," Watson said. "Everyone can make their own judgment on that. It's not what you want to see in the league. It's not for us to do anything about it."
Wondolowski said he's over the ugly play.
"Getting him suspended now does nothing for us," the team's leading scorer said.
Wondolowski has become a target because of his ability to find openings near the goalmouth.
"That's part of the game," the Danville native said. "That's why I like the game."
The prolific goal scorer doesn't want an enforcer like in the NHL, though.
"I can handle my own," he said. "I don't need someone to fight my battles."
Wondolowski recounted the last goal.
"It's a great buildup," he said. "Clint Dempsey got the ball out wide to Tony Beltran. I started going near post and saw Michael Bradley making such a hard run there, so I decided to pull off the back post and he had a great flick to me and I was able to tap it home."

Ирвинг против Липштадт
Holocaust Denial on Trial, Appeal Judgment: Electronic Edition, by Lord Justice PillTable of Contents
|<< Hitler's trial in 1924 an...
|< Background
|The shooting of the Jews ... >
|Result >>
The events of Kristallnacht (November 1938)
51. The importance of the events on 9 and 10 November 1938 in the history of the Third Reich and hence the importance of the manner in which the applicant dealt with them was not disputed by Mr Davies. As the judge put it:
"13.14 It was, I believe, common ground between the parties that Kristallnacht marked a vital stage in the evolution of the Nazis' attitude towards and treatment of the Jews. It was the first occasion on which there was mass destruction of Jewish property and wholesale violence directed at Jews across the whole of Germany. As an historian of the Nazi regime, it was therefore important for Irving to analyse with care the evidence how that violence came about and what role was played by Hitler."
52. In Goebbels, (p 276-277), the applicant described the events in these terms:
"What of Himmler and Hitler? Both were totally unaware of what Goebbels had done until the synagogue next to Munich's Four Season Hotel was set on fire around one A.M. Heydrich, Himmler's national chief of police, was relaxing down in the hotel bar; he hurried up to Himmler's room, then telexed instructions to all police authorities to restore law and order, protect Jews and Jewish property, and halt any ongoing incidents. The hotel management telephoned Hitler's apartment at Prinz-Regenten Platz, and thus he too learned that something was going on. He sent for the local police chief, Friedrich von Eberstein. Eberstein found him livid with rage.
According to Luftwaffe adjutant Nicolaus von Below, Hitler phoned Goebbels, 'What's going on?' he snapped, and: 'Find out!'
According to Julius Schaub, the most intimate of his aides, Hitler 'made a terrible scene with Goebbels' and left no doubt about the damage done abroad to Germany's name. He sent Schaub and his colleagues out into the streets to stop the looting (thus Schaub's postwar version). Philipp Bouhler, head of the Fuhrer's private chancellery, told one of Goebbels' senior officials that Hitler utterly condemned the progrom and intended to dismiss Goebbels. Fritz Wiedemann, another of Hitler's adjutants, saw Goebbels spending much of the night of November 9-10 'telephoning ... to halt the most violent excesses.' At 2.56 A.M. Rudolf Hess's staff also began cabling, telephoning, and radioing instructions to gauleiters and police authorities around the nation to halt the madness. But twenty thousand Jews were already being loaded onto trucks and transported to the concentration camps at Dachau, Buchenwald, and Oranienburg. Hitler made no attempt to halt this inhumanity. He stood by, and thus deserved the odium that now fell on all Germany.
Goebbels had anticipated neither Hitler's fury nor, probably such an uncontrollable, chaotic orgy of destruction. Not surprisingly he made no reference to this unwelcome turn of events in his diary. But perhaps this, rather than Lida Baarova, was the reason why he would write this mea culpa to Hitler six years later: `In the twenty years that I have been with you, particularly in 1938 and 1939, I have occasioned you much private grief.' Ribbentrop relates that when he tackled Hitler about the damage Goebbels had done, Hitler rejoined that this was true, but he could not let the propaganda minister go -- not when he was just about to need him again."
53. It is not disputed that the judge was entitled to have regard to the contents of Goebbels when considering whether the defence of justification was established notwithstanding the fact that its publication (1996) post-dated that of Professor Lipstadt (1994). In Cohen v Daily Telegraph Ltd [1968] 1 WLR 916, Lord Denning, at p 919, cited Maisel v Financial Times Ltd [1915] 3 KB 336 and Godman v Times Publishing Co Ltd [1926] 2 KB 273 and stated:
"Those cases show that, in order to prove that the words are true, particulars can be given of subsequent facts which go to support the charge. Thus, if a libel accuses a man of being a `scoundrel,' the particulars of justification can include facts which show him to be a scoundrel, whether they occurred before or after the publication."
54. Mr Davies makes the point, when dealing with this and other events, that the relevant passage in the applicant's publication is a very small part of the whole. In this case, it is less than a page in a book of over 500 pages plus over 150 pages of "notes to sources". Notwithstanding the brevity of the passage, the judge was entitled to hold that the light it throws upon the approach of the applicant to important historical events is important.
55. In our judgment, the judge's summary of the effect of that passage in Goebbels is apt:
"13.15 Readers of the account in Goebbels of the events of 9 and 10 November 1938 were given by Irving to understand that Hitler bore no responsibility for the starting of the pogrom and that, once he learned of it, he reacted angrily and thereafter intervened to call a halt to the violence."
56. The judge considered the evidence on which the applicant relied and stated that in his view (13.17) the applicant ought to have approached the accounts he was given by Hitler's adjutants many years after the event "with considerable scepticism and rejected them where they conflict with the evidence of the contemporaneous documents both before and after 1 am on 10 November". Having made other findings adverse to the applicant, the judge concluded (13.18) that:
"The claim that during that night Hitler did everything he could to prevent violence against the Jews and their property is in my judgment based upon misrepresentation, misconstruction and omission of the documentary evidence."
57. Mr Davies submits that it is not perverse to prefer oral to documentary evidence. An historian is entitled to a very broad measure of judgment. The point at which Mr Davies attacks the judge's analysis of Kristallnacht is in an alleged failure by the judge to appreciate in his conclusions the significance of a telegram emanating from Gestapo Headquarters at 3.45am (the Bartz telegram). It is referred to at footnote 49, one of eight footnotes to the relevant account in Goebbels, though not in the text. However, it emerged, that the applicant himself had not mentioned it in the course of his evidence, when it could have been the subject of analysis and cross-examination, but only in his closing submissions. Even had it been subject to debate in the course of the trial, and having regard to its timing, it is difficult to see what doubt it could have cast upon the judge's conclusions on this issue.
58. The judge analysed the evidence carefully. His reference to documentary as against oral evidence was not a generalisation but a view upon the particular facts of the case. The documents were contemporaneous; the oral account of Hitler's adjutants were given "many years after the event". The judge concluded (13.16) that "an objective historian would in my view dismiss the notion that Hitler was kept in ignorance until a relatively late stage." He added (13.17) that "to write, as Irving did, that Hitler was 'totally unaware of what Goebbels had done' is in my view to pervert the evidence."
59. Mr Davies, on this and other factual issues, has been unable to cast significant doubt upon the judge's conclusions on the evidence. The judge accepted, and was entitled to accept, Professor Evans' construction of the telex sent by Hess at 2.56am. He said that the order read (5.60):That, the judge concluded (13.18), "was not a general instruction to 'halt the madness' [as described in Goebbles p 277] but rather to stop acts of arson against Jewish shops and the like, so permitting other acts of destruction to continue and Jewish homes and synagogues to be set on fire."
"On express orders from the very highest level, acts of arson against Jewish shops and the like are under no circumstances and under no conditions whatsoever to take place."

Charges Dismissed Against Woman in Fatal 2008 Crash With Stolen Truck
Woman driving stolen truck suffered brain injury; husband died.
Published: Tuesday, January 1, 2013 at 11:51 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 1, 2013 at 11:51 p.m.
BARTOW | Criminal charges have been dismissed against a woman accused of crashing a stolen truck into a tree along a rural road in South Winter Haven. The accident killed her husband, who was a passenger.
Jessica Sparks, 31, received severe injuries in the 2008 wreck, including a traumatic brain injury that left her incompetent to stand trial, court records show.
Medical experts agreed Sparks was unlikely to ever regain competency because of her irreversible brain injury, records show.
Circuit Judge Ernest M. Jones Jr. signed an order on Nov. 29 to dismiss the case against Sparks. If she were to ever become competent, prosecutors could again file the charges against her, court records show.
Sparks had faced a charge of vehicular homicide in the Aug. 11, 2008, crash that killed 33-year-old Casey Wade Sparks, records show.
A Polk County Sheriff's Office investigative report provides the following account:
The crash took place about 3:55 a.m. on Old Bartow/Lake Wales Road.
A deputy was following a white Dodge Ram pickup that had been reported stolen. The deputy estimated the truck reached speeds of about 80 mph in an area with a posted speed limit of 45 mph.
The truck began to slide while going around a curve, and it struck a tree.
Casey Sparks received fatal injuries in the crash and had to be removed from the wreckage by emergency workers.
Jessica Sparks underwent extensive treatment and rehabilitation for her life-threatening injuries.
She later told an investigator she doesn't remember anything about the stolen truck or the crash and had memory loss about other parts of her life as well, according to the Sheriff's Office crash report.

CORPUS CHRISTI – On the second day of action in the Fall World Series for Texas A&M – Corpus Christi's baseball team, the Blue Team clinched the series with a 5-4 win on Saturday.
Trevor Belicek picked up the win for the Blue Team in a six-inning performance. He gave up one run on four hits. He also struck out two batters, while walking two as well.
In a losing performance, Tyler Schnuriger gave up three runs on four hits over four innings.
It was a hot start for the Blue Team, as it knocked in two runs in the first inning. The team later added runs in the third and the fifth. With the score at 4-1, the Grey Team would pull within striking distance, scoring a run in the eighth to cut the lead to one.
The Blue Team would end up bringing around a very important run in the top half of the ninth to extend its lead back to three. It was key because in the bottom of the ninth, the Grey Team would plate two runs before sophomore Kaleb Keith would lock up the six-out save on a punchout with both the tying and game-winning runs on base.
Once again, Cody Stephens had a big day for the Blue Team. He was only set down once, going 4-for-5 with one double. He made effective use of his wheels, as he stole two bases and scored two runs.
Two newcomers, JUCO transfer Frankie Salas and freshman Travis Geiser, both recorded two-hit days at the dish for the Blue Team. One of which for Salas was an RBI double, while Gregory-Portland native Geiser made both of his count by coming around to score each time.
Leading the Grey Team's offense was Zach Gibson who recorded the first home run of the series, as he plated a two run shot and also picked up another hit on the day. Brandon Tierney and Jordan Lee also recorded two hits and one run. Tierney knocked in one of the Grey Team's four runs as well.
The Blue Team will look to complete the sweep tomorrow with game time set for 11 a.m. The opposing pitchers for the tilt will be Gavin Williamson for Blue and Devin Skapura for Grey.

ORANGE COUNTY -- An Antioch High School graduate is generating buzz with a homemade video that might be one of the commercials during next month's Super Bowl.
Amber Gill and her husband, David, are among five finalists in Frito-Lay's annual Doritos "Crash the Super Bowl" contest after beating out more than 5,400 contenders from Israel and Denmark to South Africa with the promotional spot they created for the seasoned tortilla chips.
"I was just in utter shock," said Gill, 34, when she received the news. "We just feel very blessed and grateful to have made it this far."
The Gills, who now live in Southern California, drew on the collective talents of about 30 friends and acquaintances to develop the concept and film "Cowboy Kid" on a shoestring budget.
The 30-second clip features a young boy who, while practicing his cowboy skills, mounts a 180-pound English mastiff and gallops bareback across the lawn to yank a bag of Doritos away from his older brother with a lasso before hogtying him.
The two winners will have their creativity showcased before upward of 100 million viewers -- one chosen by Doritos' internal marketing team and the other decided by popular vote.
None of the five will know until the Super Bowl which of them has won.
"It's a lot of fingernail biting. It's going to be very tense and suspenseful," Gill said.
Both also will have the chance to work with Marvel Studios on the sequel of 2012 blockbuster "The Avengers." What's more, the winner who garners the most online votes will receive $1 million.
Gill spent part of her childhood in Antioch before moving to Oakley but continued attending Antioch schools and was enrolled in Los Medanos College's music program for a few years.
During that time she reigned as Brentwood's CornFest Queen and went on to earn the title "Miss Greater East Bay," which qualified her to compete in the Miss California pageant.
The stay-at-home mother of two young boys recently decided to try her hand at screenwriting and film production and entered the Doritos contest at her husband's suggestion.
Gill and her husband enlisted friends and networked to assemble the help they needed putting the commercial together.
A couple of those on the team have professional experience creating special effects, which they used to make it look as though Cowboy Kid was straddling the dog.
The Gills found the two youngsters through a casting call, and they found Ben, the dog, from an animal talent agency. The mastiff came with two trainers and a hefty transportation fee, which Gill says accounted for most of the approximately $5,000 spent on the two-day shoot.
She and her husband uploaded the final cut to Doritos' website the day before the deadline, and now all they can do is hope that Cowboy Kid's appeal will trump the competition.
"It's up to (the public) who wins," Gill said. "That's what's kind of awesome -- people get to decide what they want to see on the Super Bowl."

King 800x
This is the stone that I use as my base for creating a kasumi (mist) finish. This stone gets used on nearly 100% of all wide bevel Japanese clad knives that I sharpen professionally.
This stone produces a matte finish. For rustic kurouchi finished knives this is often the finish level I leave,. For yanagis and other refined finished knives I will follow this stone with either natural stones and/or finger stones.
There is no one answer as to what stones should be used to create that kasumi finish for every knife but you can count on the King 800x to give you a smooth contrasting appearance every time.

Editorial: Respect Newtown victims while debating issues
This is a weekly editorial by WXII President and GM Hank Price.
This week, we watched with broken hearts as a community said goodbye to 26 people killed in the Newtown, Connecticut, school shooting.
We reported stories about children whose lives were just getting started. We heard about a heroic teacher who shielded students in closets and prevented further tragedy.
We've also seen politics and social media debate rear their heads. Gun control has been discussed, along with mental health care. The news media's performance has come under scrutiny as well.
The questions we have about Newtown may never be answered, much like the shootings that occurred at Columbine, Aurora and Virginia Tech. Likewise, we'll never all agree on how these kind of tragedies can be prevented.
We can unite on one issue, however. Let's take a moment to properly honor and respect the victims.

Looking inside the choke tube do you see any ears, or little bumps, something like that? If so, that is a wad-stripper design which is intended to retard the shotcup/wad so that the shot exits the end of the choke just before the wad. Effective choke is Full. I owned one for 6-7 years and used it on a Remington 870 before I handed it to my hunting buddy and he uses it on his 870. I can't quote any percentages, but it always shot tight. Newer Patternmaster chokes I know nothing about. I bought mine around 2002-3. Hope that helps.

You can always pull out a set of calipers and measure. Go to PatternMasters website and try to match. If you can't match on website, then call customer service. Their customer service is really good. I had questions about my Anaconda and they took care of me very quick.
One other thing... If you own a traditional PatternMaster and not the BlackCloud or Anaconda, then you can't shoot any type of special wad design shells, aka BlackCloud, BlindSide, etc... You must stick with traditional wad designs that open in the front and not the back, so the rings may slow the wad for a millisecond to release the shot. Anything over 1550fps is also not recommended for any of the PattternMaster chokes. The shot cup will be moving too fast for the rings or studs to actually grab onto the shot cup, therefore making your 90 dollar choke useless.
Definitely go out and buy 4-6 different manufacturers, shot sizes (BB-4or6), and different loads 1 1/8, 1 1/4, 1 3/8, etc... Then pattern each of those loads. Find a couple you like on paper and then head to the skeet range. PatternMaster chokes are different at first. You will probably shoot bad for the first round or two. Don't get discouraged and think the choke is garbage. You will learn quickly how much this choke affects your shot string. It definitely reduces the shot string and I find that I don't have to lead the target (clay or duck/goose) nearly as much. Takes some getting used too.
If you hit a target with the PatternMaster, it hits it HARD! I have an Anaconda that I hunt with in Timber and I also use a Carlson's Mid Range for more open water. Both are good chokes, but different in their own right. Have fun!!!

patternmaster arent classified as choke tubes since they dont contrisct any shot. They have a stud ring which change what kind of pattern you use. They have a short range long range and extended range which are probably the most common they sell in stores. I bet money its the long range which will give you full pattern with 3 inch shells and a modified pattern with 3 1/2. In my mind I've shot the briley's and kicks and theyre good but because the stud ring in patternmaster your shot hits all at once. You have maybe a 3 foot shot string and that makes all the difference. Its a either a clean hit or miss.

Such a drag ... reducer.
Traditionally, aerodynamic cycling helmets have relied on sloping shapes, minimal venting, and a teardrop tail design to dictate the flow of air in order to overcome aerodynamic drag. However, with Giro's new Air Attack Helmet, its engineers had to rethink the shape of this typical design. The reason for this was simple — the objective of the Air Attack was to mate an aerodynamic helmet with a design that was compact, well-ventilated, and able to be worn for long periods of time, without the cumbersome, sometimes goofy aesthetic of a traditional aero helmet.
To start, the helmet was designed with a similar frontal area as Giro's Selector time trial helmet, only with a new "chopped-off" rear section. Wind tunnel testing proved that the air still "thinks" it's moving around a long tail, when, in fact, the excess material no longer exists. In addition to now having roughly the same minimal drag (only 11% more) than the Selector, the Air Attack provides a drastic increase in weight savings. In fact, the claimed weight of the Air Attack is 264g versus the Selector's 430g.
The second major consideration when designing the Air Attack came down to thermodynamics. After all, Giro's engineers knew that a lightweight, aerodynamic helmet was worthless to the peloton if didn't ventilate well. This led Giro to the development of what it calls "the Therminator," which is a head-form heated to the temperature of a human, with "thermo-couples" added on the outside. The information relayed from this system allowed engineers to map out parts of the head that stayed both cool and warm in the wind tunnel, which let Giro locate where vents were working and where they were not. What Giro found was that as air hits the rider, there is a very high pressure zone right at the forehead. In response, the Air Attack's new fit system, known as Super Fit, suspends the rider's head off of the EPS, allowing air entered in that front three millimeter portion of the helmet to flow over the top of the head and out the large, strategically placed back channels. Remember that 11% additional drag over the Selector? The 28% increased cooling power achieved ought to make up for it.
The Attack isn't as light as Giro's fully-vented and top-end Aeon helmet, but it still provides you with 97% of its cooling efficiency and an 11% boost in aerodynamic efficiency. We'll let you weigh the trade-off.

- 11% boost in aerodynamic efficiency

ISTANBUL, Turkey -- Today's column was supposed to be about alternatives to the broken user-name and password systems, but as I was doing my research, I hit upon an obstacle that required me to change topics.
I had planned to comment on a report about a security flaw in Samsung's recently released Galaxy S5 phone that enabled hackers to bypass the phone's fingerprint recognition system. According to several press reports, researchers at SR Labs had posted a video on YouTube showing how they were able to unlock the phone using a mold of a real fingerprint. But, when I clicked on a link to view the video I saw instead a message telling me that YouTube was being blocked based on "subparagraph 4 of article 8 of law number 5651."
You see, I was working from a hotel room last week in Istanbul, where the Turkish government has blocked access to YouTube. The government had earlier blocked Twitter, but the ban was lifted by court order. A court also ordered that YouTube access be restored, but according to Reuters, the government has decided to defy that order.
Ironically, I'm in Istanbul to help organize some workshops for the United Nations' Internet Governance Forum (IGF), which takes place here in September. The IGF is where delegates from governments, companies, nonprofit organizations and universities around the world discuss a variety of Internet policy issues, including freedom of expression. One of the workshops I'm organizing is about the tension between child protection and child rights, but given what's happening here in Turkey and elsewhere around the world, I'm tempted to expand it from child rights to human rights.
One excuse officials here used to block Twitter and YouTube was that leaked content about possible Turkish military action against Syria was threatening national security. But people I've spoken with here in Istanbul tell me that Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's problem with Twitter and YouTube has more to do with the sites being used to expose official corruption, including postings on YouTube of audio tracks from compromising phone conversations among officials.
I'm in no position to judge what is or isn't true about the claims and counterclaims here in Turkey, but it's hardly the first time we've heard a government official using national security as an excuse to interfere with civil liberties.
What happened in Turkey has not happened in the United States, nor is it likely to happen. If our government were concerned about the security implications of a particular piece of content, it would likely attempt to block that content rather than the entire site that is hosting it. But as Edward Snowden and others have amply demonstrated, there are actions our government does take in the name of national security -- including storing metadata about phone records -- that some argue could have a chilling impact on speech.
And before we get too self-righteous about what's happening in Turkey, it's also important to recall relatively recent free speech debates in the United States. In 1996, Congress passed the Communications Decency Act, which would have completely blocked online sites deemed "harmful to minors," had the Supreme Court not overturned those provisions. The CDA was aimed at pornography, not political speech, but there were many who worried about the slippery slope of the government banning otherwise legal speech in the name of "child protection."
Even the 2012 debate about the Stop Online Piracy Act and the Protect IP Act raised troubling censorship issues because, at one point, they contained a clause that would have allowed officials to effectively block access to entire sites accused of illegally distributing copyrighted material. I bring this up not to rekindle the debate about those bills, which were withdrawn as a result of an organized online protest movement, but as a reminder that we in the United States also need to look inward when criticizing the actions of other countries.
As I sit in my Istanbul hotel room unable to do my work because of a government blockage, I recall the last time I had to postpone a writing project because of a government. Last fall I was working on a booklet called "A Parents Guide to Cyberbullying" and needed access to bullying statistics from a research study conducted by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But when I clicked on the link to the study, I got a message telling me that the CDC's website was offline because of the government shutdown over Congress' refusal to agree on a spending bill. It wasn't censorship, but it was politically motivated and to a writer trying to access government funded research, it was very annoying.
For me, not being able to watch a YouTube video was only a minor inconvenience -- I can revisit the subject of fingerprint recognition sometime later. But for the Turkish people, it's infuriating when their government shuts down an entire social media platform just because some officials are unhappy with what some people have posted there. It's also a reminder that civil liberties are precious and should never be taken for granted, even in the United States, where freedom of speech is enshrined in our Constitution.

The 'Vicious' Cycle: Have LGBT Characters Evolved on TV?
Apparently the original title for "Vicious," the PBS sitcom that premiered Sunday night starring Ian McKellen and Derek Jacobi as a gay couple together for almost 50 years, was "Vicious Old Queens."
You got that right.
Hurling insults at each other with relentless zeal, Freddie (McKellen) and Stuart (Jacobi) seem to gleefully revel in out-zinging each other. We are meant to understand that this kind of cruelty is simply a sign of the strong bond the two men share, the back-and-forth barbs only reinforcing their love.
It's certainly a kick to see these two giants of the British stage tear into each other with such abandon. Considering McKellen's success with the "X-Men" and "Lord of the Rings" movies, no doubt PBS thought the show would travel well overseas. And I'm sure Jacobi and McKellen, both veterans of British television as well as out and proud gay men, are relishing the opportunity to play an openly queer couple. It's also a credit to the show's writer and executive producer, Gary Janetti, that he's chosen this particular couple, as gay men and women of a certain age are all but ignored on television.
Having said all that, if Sunday night's episode is any indication of the tone and arc of the series, it's no wonder that the British media pounced on it. (Not that it mattered. The show was a hit, and has already been renewed for a second season.) Watching the men lash out at each other is entertaining for a few minutes, but quickly grows repetitive. Within minutes, we know that Freddie is going to keep picking on Stuart for having done so little with his life and that Stuart is going to keep reminding Freddy that he's only a big star in his own mind. We know that both men are going to fawn over young, hunky Ash (Iwan Rheon from "Game of Thrones"), who recently moved in upstairs, like slobbering puppies.
The repetition itself isn't the problem. Classic shows like "The Golden Girls" thrived by reinforcing that each of the four women was a certain type. One of the problems is that this kind of broad, shrill comedy feels stale and somewhat lost in translation. It may come across as anachronistic to an American audience now raised on a steady diet of subversive, pointed comedies such as "Louie" and "Girls."
But another issue is the reinforcing of tired stereotypes about gay men, something the show is a bit too keen to do and something which American Network TV has been all too guilty of as well. Given the enormous strides LGBT rights have made in recent years, one would expect the portrayals of gays and lesbians on television to have followed suit, allowing for the kind of complexity and nuance often denied them in the past. But have they?
The answer: yes and no. There are more gay characters than ever on TV. The cable networks are littered with gay characters on shows such as "The Fosters" or "Lost Girl" and scores of others. Even the networks have their share of LGBT characters, although mainly in supporting roles.
One upsetting trend that persists on network TV is the desexualization of gay men. From Matt on "Melrose Place" to Will and Jack on "Will and Grace" to Cam and Mitchell on "Modern Family," gay men are rarely given much freedom to express their sexuality, either verbally or physically, and instead are relegated to double entendres or adolescent yearning. It's not just that these men don't have sex onscreen; they don't even seem to think about it. Lesbians don't have it much better. The portrayals of lesbians on TV may be somewhat less stereotypical, but they also suffer from being less high-profile. If there's been a show that's focused primarily on lesbians on Network TV since Ellen, I must have missed it.
Still, there are signs the landscape is evolving. I'm thinking of characters like Omar in "The Wire" or Santana on "Glee," two characters who are allowed to be both gay and unsympathetic. "Looking" on HBO, which was decried by many as boring, is revolutionary precisely because its characters are so refreshingly ordinary. And "Orange Is the New Black" gives us a wide gamut of three-dimensional gay women, each of whom feel fresh, authentic and complicated, and completely different from each other. The networks sometimes get it right too: even those who found Kurt on "Glee" a bit too effeminate have to admit that the show deals with LGBT sexuality in a frank, bold way.
Which is perhaps why "Vicious" feels like a bit of a letdown. I get it: comedies need to be funny, and portraying gay men as prissy, gesticulating and melodramatic is far more likely to get people laughing. And I did laugh watching "Vicious"—every now and then. But the show isn't smart about its characters. There doesn't seem to be much more to these men than the shallow souls we see onscreen. To an extent, what "Vicious" seems to signal is that a certain breed of gay man, the kind that trades in cruel comments as currency to protect himself from his own self-loathing, is dying off. In a way that's progress, although perhaps not what the show intended.

Country Living: My Summer of Love and Learning to Let Go
This summer I've spent a good deal of time upstate in the Catskills where my boyfriend manages a 2,000-acre estate. (Two and a half times the size of Central Park!) This Gilded Age estate includes a once grand 20,000-sq-ft mansion and riding stables. Needless to say, it's paradise for me, Nature Gal. The abundant wildlife (including bobcat and bear), fresh air, pure spring water and total lack of light pollution has me 'blissed out in the boonies.' I believe nature is our ultimate healer, which is the reason I incorporate all things natural into my design work. And I have never felt healthier or happier in my whole life than I have this summer, enveloped in this magical kingdom.

I have a fresh install of Linux Mint Debian Edition, which is based on Debian Sid.
I followed the instructions in the stickied guide for Debian 64bit here viewtopic.php?f=3&t=13046.
I had to change the url being wget from happy neko's launchpad to 1.54.00 as 1.53.99 was giving 404 errors.
apart from that, no issues until i tried to dpkg v1.54.00 ....
No flac no ia32-libs, no upstart-job.
Fair enough, I think, apt-get install em...
upstart : Depends: libnih-dbus1 (>= 1.0.0) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libnih1 (>= 1.0.0) but it is not going to be installed
Conflicts: sysvinit but 2.88dsf-34 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
I know sysvinit is vital to the running of my system, as it provides the services or something like that, so I don't want to go forcing it to be replaced and risk monkeying up my system.
Can anyone offer an alternative,or am I looking for a new media server?

At Fort Union strikers one couldn't help but see a strange object hanging above the stage. As one came closer what was hanging there became clear.
To some it may have looked like a bedraggled, weather-beaten scarecrow. But the dangling figure, which was secured in the air with a noose around its neck had meaning and a purpose.
In one of the speeches the history of the form was revealed.
It was hung sometime ago. It was made by a group of retirees from Century Aluminum whose health benefits were taken away.
Logan Kruger was the chairman of the board for Century at that time. He was seen as the person responsible for cutting the health care benefits from the retirees.
As the story goes sense the retirees could not touch Kruger, they made the dummy and hung it in effigy.
The group stated that that they would leave the Kruger dummy there to rot or until the buzzards came to get him.

A claimant for unemployment insurance who has been denied benefits, may file an appeal of
that denial to the Appeals Division. An employer may appeal a determination granting benefits to a
former employee. All appeals must be in writing and submitted by mail or fax. Appeals cannot
be filed by E-mail. All appeals must be filed within the time period stated on the face of the
determination being appealed.
If an appeal is filed, a hearing will be held by a Hearing Examiner, who will
then issue a written decision. That decision is appealable by a claimant, an employer or the Department to the
Board of Appeals.
Record made at hearing
It is required that a record be established of the hearing and this is accomplished by making an official recording.
(Parties are prohibited from making unofficial recordings.)
Testimony under oath
All testimony given at appeals hearings must be given under oath or affirmation. Legal Counsel and other representatives
not testifying need not be sworn.
Who proceeds first
In Lower Appeals cases involving a termination from employment, the employer testifies first. In cases involving a
resignation from employment, the claimant testifies first.
Cross examination
After the testimony of each witness has been completed, the opposing party or his/her legal counsel or representative
will be offered the right of cross examination. This procedure will be allowed until all witnesses for either party
(claimant or employer) have testified and the other side will begin its case following the same format.
Do not interrupt
Even if you strongly disagree with what a witness says, please do not interrupt or argue with the witness. You will have
the opportunity to ask questions of that witness and to present your own side of the story. An orderly and systematic
hearing is to the advantage of all parties. This does not preclude formal, legal objections to testimony/exhibits.
Documentary evidence
In some cases the parties may wish to present documentary evidence (such as personnel records, paycheck stubs, medical
certificates, etc.). These papers will be accepted as long as they are relevant to the case. Parties should prepare
three copies of any papers they plan to submit as evidence. Copies cannot be made at hearings.
Written decision and further appeals
Decisions in appeal cases are written. They are issued after the Hearing Examiner has reviewed all the evidence, made
findings of fact and applied the Unemployment Insurance Law to those facts. The full written decision is mailed to all
interested parties as soon as possible. There is a right to further appeal which
is fully explained in the decision.
Further questions
If you have any further questions about the procedures for appeals hearing, please ask the Hearing Examiner prior to the
start of the hearing.

Summer 2007
The Art of Giving
Beth Cheuk
LCVA Public Relations and Events Coordinator
During the 1970s, while Jack Blanton visited Nashville to examine yet another bank for the Federal Reserve System, he stopped into a junk store. His eye rested on a frame surrounding a filthy black canvas. "I'll buy it and put a mirror in it," thought Blanton. Back in the hotel room, he recalls, "I ruined a washcloth cleaning the painting – not a good conservation technique!" And yet the method worked, revealing a painting of a lake. "I took it to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, and they identified it as a late nineteenth-century piece from the Ryder School," Blanton continued. "The painting itself is not important, but the experience was," awakening an interest in art collection that blossomed in ways both personally satisfying and professionally important.
From there Blanton went on to collect almost 600 works in his personal collection. Having formerly gifted over 100 works to other institutions, he recently announced his plans to give his collection to the LCVA. In addition, he has pledged significant financial support for the Center through outright and estate gifts. Of the promised art, 230 works with an approximate value of $400,000 have already been placed in the possession of the LCVA, either as loan items or gifts. Much of the art will be installed in a gallery and sculpture garden at Longwood University 's planned Center for Communication Studies and Theatre.
A native of Tamworth in Cumberland County, Blanton retired in 2003 from the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond as vice president and community affairs officer, a role in which he could promote economic development in underserved communities. In addition, he developed the bank's fine arts program and served as curator of its art collection, which includes over 1,000 artworks.
Avocationally, he advised several corporations in creating their collections, including the Carpenter Company and most recently, the highly respected Media General Art Collection in Richmond.
Blanton's personal collection is widely eclectic, with a largely contemporary focus. He has acquired the work of a variety of Virginia artists, along with nationally known talent in media such as sculpture, painting, prints, and drawings. Represented artists include Maurice Beane, Nell Blaine, Richard Carlyon, Gene Davis, Harriet Fitzgerald, Ann Lyne, Albert Paley, Rubin Peacock, Beverly Pepper, Donald Sultan, and Nancy Witt.
Commenting on this wide-ranging variety and excellence, Longwood's Vice President for University Advancement Bobbie Burton noted, "Longwood is very fortunate to be the recipient of one of the most exciting collections of art in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Jack Blanton, like his art, is wonderful, memorable, and certainly one of a kind."
Blanton explained that he chose the LCVA because "I chaired the board for several years and so much admire LCVA's community outreach. I like that the LCVA is placed in a building in the heart of downtown Farmville and that its programs reach people in nine counties throughout Southside Virginia. I don't know of any other model like this."
"Jack has always had a passion for contemporary art, for education, for art in education, and for the people of Southside Virginia," noted friend and current LCVA board chairman Heyn Kjerulf of Richmond. "His very generous donation of his art to Longwood University represents a perfect fit between a donor's desires and a beneficiary's needs."
The art will have a wide impact on Longwood students and faculty after its installation in the planned Center for Communication Studies and Theatre. "Aside from my personal pride that Jack would give such an interesting and significant collection to the LCVA, I am excited that we have the perfect place to display the art," said Dr. Patricia Cormier, president of Longwood. "This is an important gift that will enhance the beauty and integrity of this important facility."
In November 2006, the LCVA received 230 of Blanton's artworks. Fifty-one of those works were officially given at that point, with the remainder to be given formally over several years. The final portion of the planned gift remains with Mr. Blanton, who now lives in Florida with his beloved dachshund, Dachota. When asked how Dachota is enjoying retirement, Blanton replied, "He's loving it. He lies on a chaise in the sun. Also, we have a 'fauxplace' in the den, which has become his snuggery. That room has more than a bit of Richmond tradition, and he feels very secure there."
"Jack is very interested in people and organizations that use both sides of the brain," noted LCVA Director K. Johnson Bowles. "He himself is adept at both analysis and art, and is skilled in many ways – as an art advisor, as an administrator, as a communicator. His collection will be a stimulus for creative thinking."
Blanton himself is pleased with the planned placement of the art: "I'm glad that my art won't be sitting in storage. Instead it will be accessible to students, faculty, staff, and visitors, so it can be enjoyed. One of the many things I admire about Longwood is that there is a decentralization of good art throughout the campus. I'm particularly glad to know that the art will be seen daily by students," concluded Blanton. Who knows? The art itself might frame someone's thought process and open new ways of seeing our world. Just as a neglected frame in a junk shop once opened his eyes to the world of art collecting.

MILLBRAE -- In a rare move that has Mills High School in an uproar, the College Board and Educational Testing Service have invalidated the Advanced Placement test results of as many as 224 students, citing "seating irregularities" when the 11 exams were taken in May.
Students are now demanding that the College Board reinstate the test scores, which have not been disclosed, rather than readminister the tests next month. They claim their scores may suffer in retaking the exams, and some graduating seniors say the delay is disrupting their college enrollment.
Incoming senior Gavin Wong learned of the problem Wednesday, when his family received a letter from Mills about the cancellation. The school said that, despite the seating problem, the scores "were not invalidated as a result of student misconduct," according to a copy of the letter provided by Wong.
"Students aren't to blame," said Wong, 17, "but we are being punished harshly."
ETS spokesman Tom Ewing said the school's failure to follow administration guidelines on roughly 600 tests may have enabled some students to gain an unfair advantage, though ETS has not investigated whether there was any cheating.
"In situations like that it's impossible to tell one way or the other," Ewing said. "That's why we had to cancel it."
As the developer of AP and other standardized tests, ETS issues detailed guidelines to schools across the country and abroad for administering the exams. Those protocols cover seating, Ewing said, including the allowable distance between individual desks. In cases where more than one student is at a table, the guidelines enumerate how big the table has to be and where the students are permitted to sit.
It was unclear Friday if most or all of the AP tests at Mills were invalidated. Kirk Black, associate superintendent of the San Mateo Union High School District, said 224 students at Mills took the tests, ranging from biology and chemistry to English and history.
District officials met with several dozen Mills parents and students Thursday morning. Mills High School has scheduled two meetings on the tests next week at 7 p.m. Monday and Wednesday in the West Gym.
Black said late Thursday the district was still trying to get answers from the College Board and ETS as to what went wrong.
"We've never heard of this," Black said of the mass cancellation of scores. "The whole thing seems out of the ordinary to us."
Students at Mills have created a website (http://whyweneedourscoresback.com) on which numerous students have outlined their concerns. Several commenters identifying themselves as students said not having their scores is affecting their ability to register for college classes.
Gavin Wong's brother, Mitchell, an 18-year-old incoming freshman at UC Berkeley, said he took four AP tests, and not having his scores has kept him from opting out of introductory English. Not being able to skip ahead to more advanced classes, the Wongs said, could ultimately cause financial problems for families of Mills students who had planned to graduate college early but are forced to add an extra semester.
The Wongs said they did not notice anything unusual about the seating during their tests and that students were well-spaced.
Based in Princeton, N.J., ETS distributes and scores more than 50 million tests a year. It develops, administers and scores AP tests for the College Board.
The organization will readminister the tests to Mills students in the next two to three weeks. The Wongs said they were much better prepared to take the test in May after an entire school year's worth of preparation. Students are rusty now, they said. Some have travel plans; others were hoping to arrive at college early.
But ETS does not plan on reinstating the scores, said Ewing. The school's failure to follow guidelines is a "dealbreaker."
"We can't report these scores," he said. "We have to report scores that are valid to universities and colleges."
It is "fairly uncommon" for an entire school, or test center, to have its scores canceled, said Ewing, adding the organization looked into the testing environment at Mills after receiving a tip. More than 300 students in the Orange County community of Mission Viejo reportedly had their scores invalidated in 2008.

"I was really upset when I was sentenced to perform 35 hours of community service. I thought I was going to be assigned to clean bathrooms or some other disgusting assignment. Instead, the intake specialist listened to my concerns, determined that I needed to work in a structured setting, and respectfully assigned me to work at a non-profit agency close to my home. Due to my performance at my community service worksite, I was offered a job at the end of my assignment."
The Community Service Program is a cost-effective, safe and viable sentencing alternative for individuals 16 years of age and older who are willing, physically and mentally capable of making reparation for their "quality of life offenses" through their performance of community service. Since 2008, EAC Network has successfully operated a cost-effective, safe and viable community service program. Individuals are referred from the Office of the Nassau or Suffolk County District Attorney, Village Courts or from the Suffolk County Probation Department to make reparation for their crimes through the performance of community service. Through supervised work activities, program participants are providing communities with human resources that have improved the quality of life in public environments while obtaining new skills.
Over 8,000 individuals have successfully completed their community service assignments, serving at over 250 worksites. Community service is performed for public or not-for-profit corporations, associations, institutions or agencies.The emphasis of community service is not on punishment nor on rehabilitation; rather, it is on accountability. It focuses not on offenders' needs but their strengths; not on their lack of insight but their capacity for responsibility; not on their vulnerability to social and psychological factors but their capacity to choose.

Residents of Dillon will have a new neighbor at the beginning of February, but don't expect him to be sitting around the house much, chatting with the neighbors. You can probably catch him on the chairlift. Just keep an eye out for his giant beard.
Newly anointed card-carrying ski bum Rob Wallace, 30, will spend 90 days in Dillon living the proverbial dream as part of Portland, Ore.'s Columbia Sportswear's first-ever ski bum scholarship program.
The package includes a plush condo, season passes to eight Colorado resorts, a four-wheel-drive rental car and a food stipend.
Columbia's ski-bum contest invited skiers, snowboarders nationwide to submit a video essay explaining why they would be the perfect ski bum. Applicants could also record their video at Columbia booths at a series of Warren Miller film events around the country and were encouraged to promote their video on Twitter with a dedicated hashtag. The 245 videos Columbia received were available for public viewing and voting at the contest's website, skibumscholarship.com.
The three most popular videos received more than 20,000 votes each. Among the field of creative and qualified candidates, Wallace, a self-described "geographically displaced skier" living in Knoxville, Tenn., won the judges over with a two-and-a-half minute video essay that was quirky, hilarious and convincing - much like Wallace's incredibly thick beard.
"It's daffy and doesn't seem real," Wallace said. "I just started skiing six years ago, but when I saw the scholarship, I thought, I've got to give this a shot. You're going to kick yourself if you don't even try."
Detailing the desolation of his snow-deprived plight in Tennessee and his unwavering commitment to becoming the best ski-bum he can be, Wallace's video included footage of his rigorous training program, including ski flick vocabulary research and energy drink consumption regimens.
"Columbia Sportswear is proud to award its first Ski Bum Scholarship to bearded snow-bomber Rob Wallace, and also extremely pleased with the overall success of the campaign. 'Trying Stuff' is what we do best and the results of this unique contest prove yet again the value of creative experimentation," the company said.
The dedicated website received more than 85,000 visits over the course of the contest with viewers spending an average of four minutes on the site, well above average view rates, including130,000 video views and more than 1,300 people shares on Twitter and Facebook.
And while Summit County locals can follow him on the slopes, ski-bum wannabes around the globe can follow Wallace's slacker-fabulous season of ski bumming at Columbia's social media outlets and at #skibumscholarship on Twitter.

Tom Lehman has been on the PGA circuit for twenty years. While he's no stranger to Augusta, this kind of thing has never happened to him here before.
Lehman was on Bobby Jones Expressway, heading to the airport Tuesday night when his Escalade was hit by a bullet.
It could have been a career-ender...the bullet from a 9-millimeter handgun striking just inches from Lehman.
And if it hadn't been for two teenagers, the gunman may not have been caught.
It's not the kind of hole in one he's used to.
"A weapon was fired and his vehicle was struck," says Maj. Ken Autry, PIO of the Richmond County Sheriff's Department.
That vehicle - a 2006 Escalade with exclusive PGA tags - is now in evidence at the Richmond County Sheriff's Office.
Tom Lehman was interviewed at the airport, where he was heading when the shot was fired. According to the incident report, he told officials he was the only one in the car and was unharmed.
"We did retrieve a projectile from that vehicle," Maj. Autry says.
Officials have arrested 26-year-old Troy Smith, who they say was highly intoxicated and randomly targeting vehicles with a 9-millimeter handgun.
The car of teenagers Clayton Steves and Gary Law was also shot at.
"I don't know what to think," says Law, who was driving. "If he had hit us I wouldn't know what to do."
Steves knew to call 911, and he ultimately led police to Smith's home.
"We got his license plate number and that's how we got him," Steves says.
Smith has since been charged with aggravated assault, carrying a concealed weapon and with reckless conduct.
"I'm glad that we got him where he needs to be," Steves says.
Meanwhile, Lehman is where he needs to be.
Having washed his hands of the incident, he's back on course to play the biggest tournament in golf.
This all happened Tuesday night between the hours of 10 and 11 o'clock.
The first shots were fired on Bobby Jones Expressway; the second, third and fourth, on Wrightsboro Road.
Fortunately no one was hurt.
