MODESTO, Calif. (AP) — A couple is facing potential child endangerment charges after they were arrested on suspicion of squatting with a 3-year-old child at a Central California house that authorities say was filled with waste and hypodermic needles.
Modesto police say 39-year-old John Oliver and his girlfriend, 40-year-old Angelica Madrigal, were arrested Thursday after police, city officials and a contractor went to inspect the abandoned house.
They found syringes and piles of human waste inside, along with the child, who was later placed into protective custody.
Sgt. Rick Applegate says the couple had been living there illegally for at least six months.
Police would not disclose the child's gender or relationship to the couple.
The house has now been boarded up.

About the Book
Combining the historical urgency of The Burning Tigris, the cultural sweep of Middlesex, and the psychological complexity of Bending Toward the Sun, Garin K. Hovannisian's Family of Shadows is a searing history of Armenia, realized through the lives of three generations of a single family. In Family of Shadows, Hovannisian traces the arc of his family's changing relationship to its motherland, from his great-grandfather's flight to America after surviving the Armenian Genocide to his father Raffi Hovannisian's repatriation and subsequent climb to political prominence as the head of the Heritage Party. Hovannisian's articles on Armenian issues, including the Genocide, the Armenian Diaspora, and the challenges of post-Soviet statehood, have appeared in the Los Angeles Times, Christian Science Monitor, Chicago Tribune, Armenian Observer, Ararat, and numerous other publications.
As a world war rages through Europe in 1915, Ottoman authorities commence the systematic slaughter of 1.5 million Armenians—the first genocide of modern history. A teenage boy named Kaspar Hovannisian is among the surviving generation of Armenians who escape the ruins of their ancestral homeland and build communities around the world. Kaspar follows the American dream to the San Joaquin Valley of California, where he cultivates a small farm and begins investing in real estate. But memories of Armenia burn strong—a legacy of love, anguish, and faith in a national rebirth.
Kaspar's son Richard leaves the family farm, ready to defend the history of a lost nation against the forces of time and denial. He helps pioneer the field of Armenian studies in the United States and becomes a worldwide authority on genocide. Richard's son Raffi is also haunted—and inspired—by the past. In 1989 he leaves his law firm in Los Angeles to stage the original act of repatriation to Soviet Armenia, where he goes on to play a historic role in the creation of a new and independent republic. Now, in a moving book that is part investigative memoir and part history of the Armenian people, Raffi's son, Garin Hovannisian, tells his family's story—a tale of tragedy, memory, and redemption that illuminates the long shadows that history casts on the lives of men.
Educator and Librarian Resources
Critical Praise
"Garin Hovannisian brings a historian's rigor, a poet's lyricism, and a native son's passion to this remarkable book. Intimate as memoir yet expansive as an epic, Family of Shadows puts the Armenian experience, in all its tragedy and triumph, into memorably human terms." — Samuel G. Freedman, author of Who She Was: My Search for My Mother's Life
"Weaving together history, culture, and original reporting, Family of Shadows is an inspired tribute, full of passion and appreciation for the genealogy of the Hovannisian family and its transformation into an American success story." — Dr. Vartan Gregorian, President of Carnegie Corporation of New York and author of The Road to Home: My Life and Times
With what one can only describe as an artistic skill, Garin Hovannisian interleaves the micro-story of his resilient family with the macro-narrative of the Armenian Genocide. One swiftly learns to appreciate the true meaning of the word 'indestructible'. — Christopher Hitchens, author of Hitch-22: A Memoir
"Garin Hovannisian tells one of modern history's great unexamined stories. Whether you are an Armenian American like me or come to this story anew, Family of Shadows will move you with the intensity and intimacy of its detail." — David Ignatius, columnist for The Washington Post and author of Body of Lies
"Hovannisian narratives in a swift, novel-like style... Cultural history and memoir gracefully entwined." — Kirkus Reviews

Hunters who call over long distances, such as open lakes and big rivers, should select a call that is louder and higher in pitch so the notes will carry farther. Conversely, hunters who call mostly to close ducks in environments like flooded timber, potholes, and beaver ponds should pick a call that is softer in volume and pitch. In these environments, "reach" is less important, and sounding "ducky" is more important.
"Choosing between a single-reed and a double-reed call is a matter of personal preference," Dunn says. "Single-reed calls have more range and are more versatile than double-reed calls, but they are also a little more difficult to master.
Double-reed calls take more air to blow and don't have as much range as single-reed models. But most double-reed calls have a 'sweet spot' that sounds very realistic to passing ducks."
Most duck calls sold today are made of acrylic, wood, or polycarbonate. Acrylic is very dense, and Dunn says acrylic calls are typically sharper and louder than those made of wood or polycarbonate. Many open-water calls are acrylic.
Wooden calls are usually softer and mellower than acrylic calls, and they are a good choice for close-up calling situations. Polycarbonate (molded plastic) calls fall between acrylic and wood for sharpness and loudness.

Before I begin let me start with the genesis of this solution. My PC is located far away from my PS3. It is on another floor. My network is wired with long runs of Cat6 cable. I recently was working through problems running the PS3 media server as a service (it would disappear randomly) and some other transcoding crashes. Working through these issues required getting to the PC, waking up the monitor, bring up a services window, etc. I would need to restart the service and sometimes reboot the PC. It was getting annoying. After resolving all my problems I set out to find a way to control my PC from the PS3 without having to use a dataphone or tablet.
Besides those functions I also wanted to be able to easily stop my torrents from uploading and downloading when I was using the media server. I keep all my media server folders on the same RAID drive as where I do all my uploading/downloading so I want all IO to be dedicated to the PS3 when I am streaming or transcoding. I like to FF, REW, and GOTO frequently.
I am going to try to make this easy for those who are not programmers or web gurus but to put in every detail is too involved. You may need extra help to get it all working. For the experts, you will be able to customize this to fit your needs. I am splitting this solution up into 3 posts.
1) Turning on your PC from the XMB
2) Controlling your PC
3) Controlling uTorrent bit torrents
To accomplish these goals I am going to be utilizing the PS3 web browser but do everything with an infra-red (IR) remote. The PS3 remote control is blue-tooth. I have a universal RF master remote that controls several infra-red devices in my living room; one being the PS3. To add the PS3, I bought a PS3 infrared remote and programmed it into my universal. (It comes with a dongle that you leave in one of the USB ports). You don't get every button on the blue-tooth remote but you do get everything on the game controller. The circle, triangle, square, circle, up, down, left, right buttons are required for this solution. You can of course just use your game controller.
Here is a picture of the final product:

"We are able to say that the Meridian Public School District is successful," said superintendent Dr. Alvin Taylor.
The new rankings out from the Mississippi Department of Education show that the Meridian Public School District as a whole improved from a low performing to a successful district, earning the new grade of 'C.' The 13 point QDI increase shows Taylor that the rich legacy of the district is still present; he says it was just hidden.
"I was always told when I got here that Meridian Public School District used to be one of the highest performing school districts in the state," says Taylor. "Well, this just shows me that that talent, the character of the school district is still here; it was just latent."
Five of the ten schools earned a C or better, but three schools got Ds and two got Fs, or low performing marks.
While all schools did increase their QDI scores, Dr. Taylor is urging parents to keep encouraging their students.
"We just ask the parents to keep supporting the teachers, keep supporting the principals, and help us to encourage the students to do their work at school and at home and all of our schools will become successful," Taylor said.
Dr. Taylor says the district is on the right track.
"We brought in a culture where we put the needs of the children first, and any time a school district puts the children first, you can be successful," he said.
Newscenter 11 will have reaction to the new ratings from three principals in the district over the weekend.

Time is running short.
I have been involved in every presidential race since my dad first ran in 1976.
This election may be the most important in my lifetime – and in the great history
of our nation.
We are coming to a clear divide in the road.
If the American people take the left side and choose Barack Obama, the path is clear:
more government, more socialistic schemes, more regulation, less freedom, and economic
America will decline as a great power.
Mitt Romney, on the other hand, has made clear that he believes in the principles
that have made America great: a free people, engaged in their own businesses and
private lives, and creating a better, freer, more equal society.
He wants America to remain number one with no apologies!
The choice could not be more clear, yet the polls show the race is close.
Well, Ronald Reagan believed that when the American people are fully informed and
have all the facts before them, they will almost always make the right decision.
This election year, making the right decision has been tough – because the liberal,
mainstream media are not even concealing the fact they're backing Barack Obama.
Nor do they conceal their hatred for Mitt Romney and his pro-free enterprise, pro-family,
and pro-defense policies.
This is why our side has to make sure their messaging – largely through TV, radio,
and Internet advertising – has to be crystal clear.
And this is why I have joined with Super PAC for America as their national chairman.
Super PAC will wage a powerful campaign of exposing Barack Obama's lies and distortions,
exposing his real record.
It's a terrible one.
Super PAC has one of the great political strategists of our time, Dick Morris, serving
as chief strategist.
Dick has proven time and again that he can cut through the media smoke, get the
facts out, and change elections.
Already, Super PAC for America has been supported by tens of thousands of Americans.
It is supported by people like you and me, people who are deeply worried about Barack
Obama and his radical agenda.
People who want to expose Obama's true record.
Right now, we are planning major media buys in key swing states in the nation.
We urgently need your help to make it happen.
Please donate whatever you can to stop Barack Obama.

Thank you for standing up for freedom.
Yours Sincerely,
Michael Reagan

LIVERMORE -- Move over, Geek Squad. Step back from the Genius Bar, Apple workers. There's a new tech posse in town that plans to take the valley by storm.
The students at Las Positas Technical Support, LaPTechS for short, are the new tech kids on the block, offering affordable computer repairs on campus and beyond.
"It's a business run by the students," instructor Leslie Gravino explained. "We actually repair computers for students, staff and the community."
Las Positas College's technical support program is actually two classes in one. Students in the semester-long class get regular classroom instruction, but they also run and manage a computer repair business.
"We're preparing students for the workforce," Gravino said. "Students are working hands-on with computers in a time-frame to get the work done for customers. Students have to be here on time. They have shifts." The class and business aspects are critical for students, many who are trying to break into information technology (IT) careers. The business forces tech-savvy students to work on their social skills by communicating with customers, Gravino noted.
"A lot of times, very technical people are so into the tech skills that they forget the social skills necessary for getting a job," she said. "They're so good at their technical skills, but it takes some work to bring them out socially." The tech program started as Las Positas in 2000, initially serving college employees and students only. The business model was expanded beyond the campus borders a couple of years ago, but Gravino has no budget to market the program's repair services.
"Our goal is to hook up with a company and do this within a retail setting so that we could have a booth there," Gravino said.
People could drop off their computers to be assessed while the customers shop. Once problems are pinpointed, students would take computers to campus for repairs. Customers would then return to the store to retrieve their repaired computers.
Until that retail dream comes true, she said, "we're here and can beat the prices of (retail) places."
Students charge $20 for each computer repair, which typically takes about two weeks. An expedited service is available for $50. Students work on personal computers only -- no Apples, due to that company's proprietary regulations.
Diana Navarro-Kleinschmidt is among the tech program's many satisfied customers.
"They are amazing," Navarro-Kleinschmidt said. "They're very professional, and they're inexpensive. Twenty bucks; you can't beat that." Navarro-Kleinschmidt, the college's library services specialist, has had two computers repaired through the program. One computer had a virus, while the other had a part that had to be replaced.
"They're so patient when they're telling you what's wrong with your computer," she said. "It's the personalized service I really like, and I really do want to help the students. Cost was just a nice bonus."
Freshman Matt Norton, 18, ultimately wants to get a degree in computer science, so he hopes the tech program will help him land an IT job to help pay his college bills.
"I enjoy working on the computers and fixing problems," Norton said. "On the learning side, it helps a lot being able to do the work yourself after going through a seminar. It helps to do the hands-on work because I'm more of a kinesthetic learner." Learning to fix computers by actually working on them gives students a more realistic learning situation than they'd get by merely solving problems on a worksheet, Norton noted.
"It's more dynamic because different computers come in with different problems," he said. "Many times, it's a new problem every single time you get a new computer." Norton is representative of many of the tech program's students -- young and male -- but the program also draws older people who've been laid off or are looking for career changes, Gravino said.
"That's the beauty of the whole thing," Gravino said. "We just had a guy who came in who's middle-aged and got downsized, and then we have students who are right out of high school. There are more males than females, but the age range is 18 to 60 or older.
"The cool thing is to see the young people show the older people how to do things on the computer, but the older people know more about the workforce and how to deal with customers."
Gravino is eager to spread the word about the program in hopes of luring more customers and ultimately expanding the program.
"It's been a great service to the college and community because we offer really affordable prices to get their computers repaired," she said. "We are way less expensive than if you took your computer to (a retail store), and we get very good feedback from our customers."
If you'd like the tech program students to assess and repair your computer, contact Gravino at 925-424-1876 or email@example.com.

|27 Feb 1980
|Letter Lewis Brandon (IHR) to P, inviting him to speak at the 1990 IHR Conference
|4 Mar 1980
|Letter P to Brandon (IHR): "I did hear about your last years convention and, of course, it attracted my interest... ... I would have to condition my acceptance of your very kind invitation on knowing who else would participate. Of course, I have no desire to limit your own scope, but for reasons you will probably perceive I cannot speak on the same platform as for example Walendy or Butz. This is pure Realpolitik on my part. I am already dangerously exposed and I cannot take the chance of being caught in Flak meant for others."
|12 Mar 1980
|Letter Brandon (IHR) to P: "I also understand that you recently met up with our good friends from Historical Review Press, and also our supporters from the League of St George. We keep in very close touch with developments over there"
|9 July 1980
|Letter P to Brandon (IHR): "I am sorry we were not able to reach any definitive decision on your 1980 convention. Perhaps in 1981 e can do something".
|12 Mar 1981
|Diary: visits to Carto at offices of Liberty Lobby and Spotlight; Carto described as "A typical small time fascist". "I stressed how important it is for me to keep my image clean as at present I am still allowed into the media while the opposition is trying everything to keep me off it. He indicated that there are ties between the Liberty Lobby and the [IHR]... I expressed disapproval of that, saying that the [IHR] called down unnecessary fire on our own lines".
|30 May 1981
|Letter Mark Weber (IHR) to P enclosing outline of Weber's forthcoming book "The Final Solution: Legend and Reality". Weber mentions P's "conditional agreement to write a foreword to the book". The central thesis of the book was that "there was no official German to exterminate the Jews of Europe. Six million Jews were not killed" (p11). The photographs are to include an 'unflattering' one of Anne Frank (p16).
|30 July 1981
|Letter Weber (IHR) to P: "I appreciate your words of advice and encouragement on my book on the Final Solution".
|31 May 1982
|Letter Tom Marcellus (IHR) to P expressing regret that P cannot attend IHR conference.
|12 Aug 1982
|Letter Willis A. Carto (IHR) to P regretting that he cannot alleviate P's financial problems immediately and inviting him to the 5th IHR conference in 1984.
|21 Nov 1982
|Two letters from Marcellus (IHR) to P. The first concerning the sale of P's books by IHR (p20); the second asking P to speak for 90 minutes at the 5th IHR Conference (p21).
|1 Dec 1982
|Letter P to Marcellus (IHR): provisional acceptance to speak at the 1983 IHR conference. '..because of the disadvantages and risk to reputation involved I would certainly want a larger honorarium...'. He refers to a possible topic for his speech. "My own line, in a nutshell, is that mass murders did take place on an ad hoc basis that was not however organised at a top state level".

Organic Rooibos
Organic Rooibos tea, also known as Red Tea, is an herb hailing from South Africa. Naturally caffeine free and certified organic Rooibos contains very high levels of Vitamin C, iron, potassium, calcium, copper, zinc other minerals and fluoride.
Loose tea in 4 oz bag
Organic rooibos
Herbs and Fruit
Fine, needle-like rooibos leaves
Earthy, sweet
Jewel red liquor
Full body and mild earthy flavor with a sweet honey like finish
Preparing the perfect cup of tea is a process to be savored. Watch how the traditional elements harmoniously come together to make the perfect cup and enjoy the liberation of pure tea goodness.
This is what we call the Mighty Leaf signature multi-sensory ("sensory melange") tea experience. Come share with us and learn how to get infused.
The quality of tea is affected by the quality of water used to prepare it. Using filtered or bottled water is best. If possible, avoid brewing tea with tap, distilled or mineral water. Never over-boil water, as it results in flat-tasting tea.
1) Heat filtered or bottled water to a rolling boil or to 205 F. 2) While the water is heating pour hot water into your teapot and cups, let sit and then drain completely. A warm teapot will maintain the requisite temperature for superior tasting tea.
Whole Leaf Tea
Prepare Mighty Leaf teas using a teapot, paper tea sachet, infuser or traditional brewing methods. Use one rounded tablespoon of loose tea per 12 ounces or cup of water.
Infusion Time
Pour boiling water over tea leaves. Keep teapot covered to retain heat. Time steeping carefully and infuse for 5 - 7 minutes.
Savor the Leaf
Sip your cup and rediscover the pleasure of the way tea was naturally meant to be. This is the magic of Mighty Leaf.

Health Benefits
Rooibos (Aspalathus Linearis)
Research has shown Rooibos contains an unusually high amount of flavonoids similar to that in Green Tea. These flavonoids are thought to prove effective in combating harmful free radicals which can cause cancer, heart disease and strokes.
Naturally caffeine free and rich in Vitamin C, Rooibos also possesses other medicinal properties including the ability to lessen the body's reaction to allergies and calm upset stomachs.
Caffeine-free Organic Rooibos makes a great replacement for caffeinated tea. Serve alongside buttery pastries or rich, chocolately desserts.

Two groups endorse Terrebonne levee tax on Saturday's ballot
Published: Monday, December 3, 2012 at 4:31 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 3, 2012 at 4:31 p.m.
In separate decisions, two groups have come out in support of the proposed levee tax on the ballot Saturday across Terrebonne Parish.
The Houma-Terrebonne Chamber of Commerce's 30-member board voted unanimously to endorse the tax increase. So did the Terrebonne Republican Party's Executive Committee.
The half-cent sales tax would raise more than $330 million to finish and maintain the locally built Morganza-to-the-Gulf hurricane-protection system.
"Without the protection that a completed Morganza will provide, our families, homes, businesses and all of the economic activity this parish generates is at risk," Chamber Board Chairman Billy Foster said.
In a separate statement, Darrin Guidry, chairman of the Terrebonne Parish Republican Party and a member of the parish Levee Board, which is seeking the tax hike, said residents can't wait for the federal government to take action on the levees.
"It is time for us to take matters into our own hands," he said.
In its decision, the parish GOP panel weighed the negative effects higher taxes have on business with the devastation hurricane storm surges cause to economies, Guidry said.
"St. Bernard Parish lost 46 percent of its population since the floods of Hurricane Katrina," Guidry said. "If that happens in Terrebonne Parish, we would have no economy to come back to."

As the top 100 lists are making their rounds, I can't help but feel proud to be a Padres fan at this time. The Padres find themselves well represented. Padres prospects appearing on reputable top 100 lists include Yonder Alonso, Cory Spangenberg, Jed Gyorko, Yasmani Grandal, Austin Hedges, Keyvious Sampson, Robbie Erlin, Joseph Wieland, Casey Kelly, Rymer Liriano, Jaff Decker, and James Darnell. That makes 12 players appearing on top 100 lists.
The Padres have no shortage of highly regarded prospects. Still, there are several other Padres prospects that hope to make an appearance on next year's top 100 lists'. Here are several that could make the lists next year:
Jace Peterson –Highest upside of any SS in the Padres system. Jace is fairly new to baseball but has the athleticism to shoot up the prospect boards if he stays focused and has the breakout year I expect.
Kevin Quackenbush – Relievers don't often make it onto top prospect lists, but if Josh Spence could make a cameo last year, surely Quackenbush has a shot. I could see Quackenbush cracking top 100 lists if he replicates his 2011 performance in the upper minors.
Donovan Tate – Has enough talent to be an elite level prospect. The only thing holding Tate back from being considered a top 100 prospect are injury and character concerns. The word "only" seems a tad understated, but he has shown flashes. If Tate manages to stay healthy an entire season he could be next year's Rymer Liriano.
Edinson Rincon – We all know Rincon has the offensive potential. If Rincon can find a position that he plays with adequate defense, he could easily be a top 100 prospect. At this point, though, he is essentially a younger Jesus Guzman.
Reymond Fuentes – I am not one of those that is disappointed in Fuentes' progression. That said, he has not yet taken that next big step towards becoming the player the Red Sox and now Padres have envisioned. If Fuentes can improve his on base skills and show more power than Luis Durango, he could start getting talked about as a solid prospect.
Jonathan Galvez – Galvez is my personal favorite, along with Peterson, to have a huge 2012. With Spangenburg behind him and Belnome in front of him (on the minor league depth chart), Galvez will have plenty of motivation to stay focused and have a brilliant 2012. I could see Galvez hitting .300 with 15 HRs and 40 SBs at San Antonio next year. At 21, that kind of production from a 2B prospect could land him on several top 100 lists.
I am very excited for the upcoming baseball year on both the major league level and with the Padres minor league affiliates. Who will be the next group of Padre prospects to step up?

No More Fart Apps. Would We Ever?
By Ultan O'Broin Oracle UX-Oracle Paas4SaaS-Oracle on Sep 30, 2010
I loved Lucy Kellaway's (she of the Financial Times) article "Words to describe the glory of Apple" comparing the language style used by Apple and Microsoft and wondering if language style impacts the bottom line. If you don't want to register for the article, then the podcast version is here.
Ms Kellaway tells us that Apple's language makes for content that is "fun to read", "elegant", and "makes you laugh". It has a tone that is "direct', 'comic", and "elegantly threatening". She contrasts this with the Microsoft language used for the new version of Internet Explorer, "architected to run HTML5, the beta enables developers to utililize standardized markup language across multiple browsers" and the rest. This is "standard stuff" from Microsoft, and Luce is "irritated", "bored", "alienated", and "restless" with it.
Actually, I think the article is unfair to Microsoft, who do care about language and the example used is not representative of language used in other Microsoft products - games, for example. Plus, the audience for their words is different to Apple's; basically it's a marketing pitch to Microsoft's partners, encouraging uptake of a beta release.
The Apple language that Ms Kellaway admires is taken from the App Store Review Guidelines (full PDF version); a set of guidelines more likely to be read by geek and hobbyist developers working from home than the corporate equivalents. Such language is not used in other Apple products themselves. In fact, language quality is not an acceptance criterion for App Store submissions at all. That of course, is telling in itself. Why not let the market, the users, decide on the language? In line with this, the Human Interface Guidelines from Apple for the iPhone has a common sense approach to language style. For example:
In all your text-based communication with users, be sure to use user-centric terminology; in particular, avoid technical jargon in the user interface. Use what you know about your users to determine whether the words and phrases you plan to use are appropriate.
For example, the Wi-Fi Networks preferences screen uses clear, nontechnical language to describe how the device connects to networks. Very reasonable from a user experience perspective. But, then Lucy says: "You might think there was a clear commercial advantage to be had in writing clearly and stylishly. But you would be wrong."
Not quite. There is a relationship, though it may not be all that visible to key decision-makers. That's because the commercial advantage does not come from writing clearly or stylishly per se, but its application. It comes from writing content that users actually want, in a way that they can understand, using terms and language that suits them; and that facilitates easy search and retrieval. The result is a quicker transfer and comprehension of information leading to better productivity for users and less training and support costs. And that's a competitive advantage.
In the enterprise applications space the opportunities for a product language tone that is "fun", "comic", or "elegantly threatening" doesn't exist in the same way it does for the iPhone app development community (and let's face it - for all the BS about the iPhone - most apps are little better than free low-tech toys designed by rank amateurs).
But that's not the point. The point is the language should suit the audience for the information. We need to spend less time worrying about our internal language style and all its nuances and rules and concentrate more on how users - our customers - themselves want it to be, and actually use it. Bringing terminology in line with user expectations and concentrating on a few basic writing principles grounded in research on information search, retrieval, consumption, and problem-solving would yield far better bottom line results than fretting about a rigorous adherence to every single aspect of a style guide for no other reason than it's there.

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) -- At least 26 people have been killed in a huge explosion at Venezuela's biggest oil refinery.
The blast sent balls of fire into the air over one of the largest refineries in the world.
The oil minister says the blast occurred early today when a gas leak created a cloud that ignited. He says an adjacent National Guard post was severely damaged by the blast, along with nearby homes.
Officials say the dead include a 10-year-old boy, but most of the victims were National Guard troops.
Venezuela's health minister says at least 86 people were injured, but most of them were treated at hospitals and released.
President Hugo Chavez has declared three days of mourning in the country and ordered an investigation to determine what caused the explosion.
Government officials are pledging to restart the refinery within two days. They say the country has plenty of fuel supplies on hand to meet its domestic needs as well as its export commitments.

Welcome to Summit!There are more shy and quiet people living in Summit County than anywhere else in the world - and this makes perfect sense when you think about it. Our towns are the shy person's ideal habitat. Tuck yourself away in a mountain valley with nine-month winters and come out of your cabin every few days or so to go to work or mingle amongst the Christmas visitors on Main Street. Would you rather jump in a river of boiling snot than make small talk with strangers? Me too! Some people love to talk about nothing at all regardless of the subject matter or audience. Talkers sure seem to be happier than listeners. As I have no idea how to end these one-way conversations, I tend to get stuck with the earnest guy who tells me everything he knows about Star Trek. Meanwhile, I'm searching the room for the exits. It's like that old joke: -"I didn't talk to my wife for two whole years." -"Why?" -"I didn't want to interrupt her." But with the Christmas season upon us, we quiet mountain people will soon welcome millions of talkative visitors who will fill the stores, bars and restaurants where we work and play. So, as a lifelong Geek-thropologist, I bring you the Socially Awkward Mountain Person's Survival Guide to the Season. Problem: Don't know how to make small talk at the bars? Well, it's important to learn how to do this because otherwise, you will get stuck beside me and the Star Trek guy. Solution: It's easy. Start by making a simple observation. "Are you from one of the East Coast's most dangerous cities? That knife in your neck says yes."Problem: Don't know how to accept a compliment? Do you narrow your eyes and put your hand over your wallet whenever anyone expresses a positive opinion about you? If you ever hope to have an actual woman as a girlfriend, you've got to lighten up sometime, Jack. Solution: Good news! The visitors from out-of-state might actually sleep with you. Unlike the rest of us, they have no idea what you're really like. So when that pretty snowboarder says, "My, what a thick neck-beard you have!" You stroke it and murmur mysteriously, "Well, it just proves everyone is good at something."Problem: Shy women tend to be overly defensive. Let's say you're at The Goat and someone sends over a martini and smiles at you. Avoid calling 911 and shrieking, "Help! I'm being crimed-on!"Solution: Stride confidently towards your martini-donor with the fan blowing your hair away from your face. Say, "I'm in awe of how beautiful you are regardless of your gender. Which would be . . . what?"Problem: You are an introverted retail or restaurant employee at the end of a 12-hour shift with a customer who is unhappy with your attitude. Customer says: "Hey boy, this here service ain't what I 'spected from my vacation dollar. Why ain't you being more jovial at me?"Solution: Give him what he wants and needs. Reach your arms around him and give him a gentle kiss on the temple.Problem: You think of yourself as a noble and distinguished beggar, but your friends say that your blunt and colloquial entreaties for sex at the bars are embarrassing them. Stop begging. Learn that oldest of Summit County seduction tricks: create your own Free-Sex-For-Life story. Solution: "While snowkiting across Lake Dillon . . . did I say I'm a kiteboarder? That is, when I'm not fighting fires or nursing orphaned kittens . . . yes, it's true, men can lactate under the right circumstances . . . I rescued a freezing baby squirrel and carried it safely to shore. What happened to the baby squirrel? Uh, one of the cats I was breast-feeding ate it, but hey, that squirrel enjoyed an extra day on earth . . . hey, girl? Where you goin'?"Merry Christmas, mountain people.Micaela Gilchrist's novels are published by Simon & Schuster and by Scribner in North America and Europe and have been optioned for film by Paramount Studios.

Animated 'Star Wars Rebels' Has Throwback Feel
San Diego — As fans at Comic-Con last week got their first look at "Star Wars Rebels" — an animated show coming in October that's the first significant new content set a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away since Walt Disney Co. bought Lucasfilm — they may have noticed a recurring theme:
"There's a vibe of it that's much like the original trilogy," voice actress Vanessa Marshall said on a panel Thursday.
"We all loved the tone of the first movies and wanted to create a show that captures the spirit of those films," said executive producer Simon Kinberg.
"Everything old is new again," said executive producer Dave Filoni in an interview.
After more than 15 years set in the more somber and political world of George Lucas's prequel trilogy, as well as the companion "Clone Wars" animated series, in other words, "Rebels" is a throwback.
The series is about the origins of the Rebel Alliance that was well established when Mr. Lucas's 1977 "Star Wars" takes place. In the first episode, screened to a small crowd Thursday night, there were many elements familiar to fans of the first movie. The main character, Ezra, is a young orphan learning the ways of the force, much like Mark Hamill's Luke Skywalker, and the ragtag crew he joins even has an R2-D2-like robot with a bit of an attitude, named Chopper.
Aimed at the elementary-aged set, the plot is relatively simple but, like the original films, mixes a galactic-scale themes with humor derived from the family dynamics of its main characters.
Launching well ahead of next December's seventh movie, directed by J.J. Abrams, was important for "Rebels" to establish itself, said Mr. Filoni. Going forward, his hope is that the show's narrative won't just lead perfectly into the 1977 film, but tell parallel stories. "There galaxy is so big, there has to be a lot going on," he said.
For Disney, of course, the hope is those stories will also help to create a new generation of "Star Wars" fans. And as evidenced by "Rebels"-branded toys and books on display at Comic-Con, the company hopes they'll be eager to consume more than just the television show on its Disney XD network.

Dennis Decker, Director of News Operations at Channel 12, has seen things change in his 38 years as a photojournalist.
"If you don't like change, this isn't the business to be in," said Decker. "This one of the first industries that seeks out technology."
Decker said while many industries are leery of change, broadcast typically steps up to the plate.
"We want change, to move forward," said Decker. "We want technology that will get us news faster, get it on the air faster, get it on-line faster."
When Channel 12 first went on the air in 1953, photojournalists went out each day with their 16 mm cameras. They filmed the scene and asked questions about what happened. Then they hurried back to the station, hours before the evening news, because the film had to be processed in a chemical bath before it could be run on air.
"The advent of the one-man-band was originally how news was gathered in this market," said Decker. "A reporter was his own photographer. You gathered the story, you came back and wrote and edited the story, voiced it and put it on the air."
But soon the idea of a photographer and reporter team developed, each bringing an important piece of the story to the viewer at home.
Later in the 1980's video cameras came to the Wichita TV market. It became easier to use video for breaking news but the original cameras were physically demanding, weighing about 50 pounds.
Today, digital technology has revolutionized the broadcast world again.
"In the last 5 years, there has been an advent of smaller and smaller cameras and the quality has improved," said Decker. "Now you can actually shoot HD on a camera that weights 5 pounds and it's broadcast quality."
These light cameras have created a shift back to the one-man-band for some reporters but photojournalists still play a key role in telling the news.
But what hasn't changed since the early years of television is power of pictures to tell the story. Video gives the audience the chance to see the scene or interview subject for themselves and to make up their own mind about what's going on.
KWCH photojournalists shoot in blizzards, tornadoes and 100 degree temperatures. They stand for hours at court proceedings, taping and live streaming trials. They set up lights, wireless microphones and search for the best shot with the goal of getting the viewer to connect with the story.
But the long hours and physical demands of the job pay off as photojournalists serve the community as educators and watchdogs.
"We tell people things that they want to hear and sometimes things that they don't want to hear," said Decker. "I think people have to be exposed to all things in their society in order to get the whole picture of what's going on."
Today, immediacy is driving news. Cell phone photos and videos are sent back as soon as someone arrives on the scene. Decker said it takes teamwork between the technology department, reporters, photojournalists and producers to send and post or air new images as soon as they come into the station.

I think the the "Statut panel" could be simplify : Why don't you unify it with all the device connected. For me the division between PS3 and other device is (no more) relevant and could be confuse. (i.e. When i'm using PS3MS i have a red cross on top and my Sony Bravia on the bottom, but all is fine i just don't have a PS3).
Thanks for all your work and the way you do it.
Kind regards

Accidental Overdose Killed Heath Ledger
Feb. 6, 2008 -- The deadly cocktail of mostly prescription drugs found to have accidentally killed actor Heath Ledger includes medications considered safe and effective -- but not when taken in combination, experts warn.
According to the New York Medical Examiner's Office, which issued a cause of death statement, Ledger died of "acute intoxication" by the combined effect of six medications. "We have concluded that the manner of death is accident, resulting from the abuse of prescription medications," the statement reads. Ledger was found dead Jan. 22 in his Manhattan apartment.
(Are we more sympathetic for celebrities when they overdose or suffer from addiction than we are for others we know? Share your thoughts on WebMD's Health Cafe message board.)
Accidental Overdose: The Deadly Mix
Specifically, the deadly drug cocktail included:
- Oxycodone, also known under brand name OxyContin, a potent painkiller
- Hydrocodone, an ingredient in Vicodin, other painkillers, and some cough suppressants
- Diazepam or Valium, an antianxiety drug sometimes prescribed as a muscle relaxant
- Alprazolam or Xanax, prescribed for anxiety and panic attacks
- Temazepam or Restoril, prescribed for insomnia
- Doxylamine, an antihistamine over-the-counter sleep aid sold in the U.S. as Unisom
Safe Medications, Used Inappropriately
The death of the 28-year-old Australian-born actor, known for his starring role in Brokeback Mountain and other movies, should serve as a caution for consumers not to mix prescription drugs on their own or change the dose without consulting their doctor, says Maria Fernanda Gomez, MD. Gomez is an associate professor of psychiatry at Montefiore Medical Center in New York. She is not involved in the investigation but reviewed the drugs noted in the cause-of-death report for WebMD.
The problem is not with the medications, she says, but rather the combinations. "These medications have been used for years." And if they are prescribed appropriately, in proper doses, they are effective and safe, she says.
The problem, according to Gomez, was the cumulative effect. "All these drugs are central nervous system depressants," she says. "There is drug-to-drug interaction. The additive effects of all these medications is what causes a serious problem. If you have two narcotics [the painkillers Ledger was prescribed] and two antianxiety drugs, the risk of overdose is high."
"In the brain, you have centers that tell your lungs to breathe, your heart to beat," Gomez says. An unsafe combination of drugs, such as the mixture Ledger allegedly took, could depress the central nervous system so much that these "messages" can't get through, she says.

SAN FRANCISCO -- A noisy protest on behalf of Walmart workers briefly disrupted a talk by Yahoo (YHOO) CEO Marissa Mayer during a major tech industry conference Tuesday night, but Mayer remained unfazed as she spoke of her efforts to refocus Yahoo on the mobile tech trend.
The protesters were quickly escorted out of the auditorium at Moscone Center after interrupting Mayer's talk on stage with Salesforce.com CEO Marc Benioff. Mayer explained that she serves on Walmart's board of directors but said she wasn't at the event to talk about Walmart issues.
Labor activists have been dogging Mayer at public appearances for the last year, although they usually have remained outside public events, while seeking attention for the company's treatment of Walmart workers who say they were fired for protesting unsafe practices at the retail giant.
Mayer, however, quickly returned to the subject of Yahoo's turnaround effort, telling Benioff that she believes the popularity of mobile Internet devices is a major industry shift that Yahoo can ride to success. Rebuilding Yahoo's popular web services for mobile users "was an immediate priority" when she took the job as CEO last year, Mayer said.
Yahoo has expanded its mobile development team from about 60 people to almost 400 software engineers on a team responsible for new mobile products, she added. That's a different approach from Facebook, which embarked on its own mobile shift last year by assigning mobile developers to each of the company's product teams instead of having one separate mobile group.
Yahoo's approach may not be perfect, Mayer said, but she noted that almost 400 million people now use Yahoo's mobile apps. "That's one of the things I'm most proud of," she added.
Mayer has been working to turn around Yahoo's struggling business since she was hired away from Google (GOOG) in July 2012. She's revamped many of the online company's consumer products, including its popular web-based email and news sites, while spending more than $1.3 billion to buy 20 startups in a campaign to acquire new talent and technology.
But despite some evidence that more people are using Yahoo services, the company reported last month that its online display advertising business is continuing to decline, at a time when the overall market for online ads is booming.
Yahoo's stock is doing well because investors are excited about the impending Wall Street debut of Alibaba, a Chinese eCommerce company in which Yahoo owns a major stake. But analysts have taken a cautious view of Yahoo's core business, which "still does not have a clear long-term growth story," according to a recent report by Carlos Kirjner of Bernstein Research.
Mayer's onstage chat with Benioff capped the second day of Salesforce.com's annual conference for clients and business partners. Organizers say 130,000 people registered to attend the event, known as Dreamforce.
Benioff has built the onetime cloud computing startup into a significant rival of such tech giants as Oracle (ORCL) and SAP. Salesforce is expected to book more than $4 billion in revenue this year from selling web-based programs that businesses use to manage sales and marketing efforts, although it disappointed some analysts by issuing lower-than-expected financial projections this week.
During the conference this week, Benioff announced a new partnership with Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) and showed off some new software tools for mobile devices.
