Hi, I use the search functionality frequently in Ariba Spend Management (11s2) and would like to highlight a point.
After performing a search on sourcing "events" (RFI/RFP/Auction), you click on the event from the search results and then select either 'Monitor' or 'View Details', etc to open the respective event. On the following page, you will then find a "Back" link with which you can again return back to the search results (you need not perform the search again).
Now, when you are performing a search for "projects" (sourcing, contracts, etc...), and when you open a project in the same way, you do not have the "Back" link to take you back to the search results. This is really frustrating as I have to perform searches repeatedly which takes lot of time.
I hope that this feature (inclusion of a "Back" link) is included in the next release and is valid for all search types.
Do voice your thoughts on this...
Good comment - i face the same and will post enhancement request for this. Suggest you also do this, then at least we have a chance that Ariba will improve this.
I find it really frustrating that one can not open many windows at once. Navigating in Ariba has its limitation and is sometimes really time consuming. Do you have the same impression?
Yes, I would agree with that.
Now, what we do to overcome that (just a litlle bit) is:
The above is by far not optimal but, for the moment it's the best we could invent.
Have put in an enhancement request 1-BKQ80V (if you find this worthwhile then I'd suggest you also put in such enhancement request, then at least there's a chance they pick it up...).
Thank you. It can help to some extent - I agree. Yes, I will also try with a request. Regards.
Hi Andre & Erwin.....
I am an Administrator & Event Manager in our Center of Excellence....which our team of two...runs all the events for our sourcing managers....as well a all user & supplier set up & administration...reporting, etc. Daily I open multiple browser windos to open multiple sessions to either keep administration...a current live event...maybe a search window...and maybe one I am building open so I can jump back and forth.
I too have entered an enhancement request to have the ability to have multiple windows open in one session.
Have a great weekend!
This isn't supported or anything, but in most configurations, you can have multiple windows open if you follow these rules:
1) Do not click New Window.
2) Do not click New Tab.
3) Do not say Open in New Window.
4) To get your 2nd window, go back to the browser icon on your desktop (or wherever) and run it.
This won't work for everybody (there are a few settings that will disallow this), but for most folks it'll work. Using two browsers (IE and Firefox, for example) is another good solution, as suggested above.
The problem with having multiple Ariba sessions is common accross many web based applications, its not just an Ariba problem. If your curious as to why, here is a nice ariticle the covers the detials a bit.
The article reference an effective solution which is what I currently use.
Solution> Applicable to most of the newer versions of IE:
1st: Make sure the Menu bar on your browser is visible. You should have options such as "File","Edit","View","Favorites","Tools"
2nd: Select "File" >> "New Session:"
3rd:.. Thats it :-)
IE will automatically open up a new window that is based on a new browser session. With the new session window you can log into the same Ariba instnace, or a different Ariba instance, and the two windows will not conflict with one another. You can continue to open up more sessions as needed.
Good luck keeping track of all those Ariba windows now :-)
Thanks Kevin. I have tested this and works perfectly fine. I can now open the search results in one window and work on the projects in a new session window. Would have been helpful if the new session would also open as a tab in the current window. Anyway thanks!

One Dead in Manhattan High-Rise Blaze
A 27-year-old man was killed and several people injured when a fire broke out Sunday inside a Midtown high-rise building, Fire Department of New York officials said.
The fire started on the 20th floor of a high rise building on the corner of West 43rd Street and 10th Avenue at about 11 a.m., said Assistant Fire Chief John Sudnik. The apartment's tenant had stepped out to go to the store and wasn't home at the time, he said.
It took almost two hours for about 150 firefighters to get the blaze under control, said Mr. Sudnik. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
The dead victim, identified as Daniel McClung, died Sunday evening after being rushed to Roosevelt Hospital in cardiac arrest. He was found in a stairwell near the 31st floor with another 32-year-old man, who was in serious but stable condition at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital after suffering burns, officials said. Others were treated for smoke inhalation and burns.
Nydia Cruz lived several floors below the burning apartment and was alerted to the fire by debris falling past her window.
"Pieces were falling down that were burning," she said. "You couldn't even tell what it was–it was just big chunks of something."
Boyd Olden, 32 years old, tried to escape from the building's health club on the top floor where he works as a lifeguard. He tried to walk down the stairs with a co-worker and another man but was stopped by heavy smoke. The group waited on the balcony for more than an hour for firefighters to rescue them.
"We seen smoke, which I thought was fog because it's foggy that high up. We heard the ding, ding, ding from the fire alarm," Mr. Olden said. "It was terrible. I literally seen my life flash before my eyes."

Loan Disclosure Information
Excelsior College policies and procedures pertaining to private loans
Please note that these are institutional policies and may differ from policies set forth by the lenders.
- After a private loan is certified, it will be disbursed twice.
- The first disbursement will take place 8-10 business days after the loan is certified. The second disbursement will take place 6 months later, if eligible.
- Eligibility is defined as 2 or more exams in a 6 month period. The 6 month period will be based on date the loan is originally certified.
- If the student does not complete at least 2 exams in the 6 month period, the second disbursement will be cancelled.
- If at the close of the 12 month period the student applies for additional private loans, at least 4 exams must be completed to certify additional loans.
- If at least 4 exams are not completed, the loan will not be certified.
- Loans will be certified to a maximum amount of $7,000 per year.
- If the requested loan amount is $5,000 or less, disbursement will take place once, 8-10 business days after certification.
- If certification does not take place because the student did not complete minimum number of exams required, the student must complete the required amount before the loan is certified.
- In certain situations, a student may be eligible for additional $3,500 in one award year, for a maximum of $10,500.
- For additional loans in one award year, the student needs to show outstanding academic progress, defined as at least 24 credits in a single year based on a combination of exams and courses.
- Students receiving federal aid that become ineligible for additional disbursements of federal aid may receive private loans up to their budgets as determined by the federal aid officer.
Every Student at Excelsior College has the right to choose the lender of their choice
- Excelsior College only recommends lenders who do not sell their loans to another lender later since borrowers can and do lose certain benefits when lenders sell students' loans to other lenders.
- The College continuously monitors the service our students receive from the lenders on our list and encourages feedback regarding experiences with all lenders. The financial aid office reviews the listing of lenders on an annual basis.
- As these lenders are all independent entities, Excelsior College cannot guarantee their services, and no guarantee is given or implied that these particular lenders have the lowest available rates.
Questions to ask lenders
Choice of lender is in all cases the borrower's responsibility. Excelsior College provides the same treatment and service to all student and parent borrowers, regardless of the lender they select. To help you make an informed decision we recommend that you ask prospective lenders about their practices. Here are a few questions and the reasons for asking them:
Why you should ask: Fees that are deducted up front will cost you money because you will not have received all of the money you have borrowed.
Why you should ask: All savings are desirable. However, some benefits only happen during repayment when you are finished with school. Many of these back end benefits (benefits that accrue after repayment begins) are tied to on-time payments and can be lost if you miss or are late on one payment.
Why you should ask: Incentives offered to borrowers who make forty-eight consecutive on-time payments sound attractive, but it may be very difficult to meet those requirements. If you are just a few days late with only one payment, the benefit usually becomes unavailable.
Why you should ask: Loans can be sold without the borrower's permission, and this can leave the borrower with a lender that does not provide the same quality service as your original lender. Excelsior College strongly recommends borrowing from lenders who provide service over the life of your loan and who will not sell your loan.
Why you should ask: It's important that you be able to ask questions and get help from a lender at times that fit into your own schedule.
Speak with an Excelsior College financial aid advisor

He's having an awesome season for an undrafted free agent out of fucking UMass. I didn't even know they had a football team. Good for him, and good for the Giants. At any rate, Manning will have to be seriously on point.
Edit: After a little more research, it turns out that Cruz has set a record for most receiving yards for a rookie. Amazing. Not bad for a guy that started as the fourth wideout.

Jim Hale a Young Farmer Loses His
Life as He was Returning Home — Dogs
Were placed on the Track of the
Murders at Once.
Mineola, Tex., Jan 9. — Jim Hale a young farmer living near Quitman was shot and killed about 6 o'clock Thursday evening.
Hale had been in Quitman Thursday and had a difficulty with a man who lives there. About 6 o'clock he left for his home on horseback
The horse reached home and was found at the lot gate about 10 o'clock with the bridle rein securely tied around the pommel of the saddle. This excited Young Hale's father who immediately started for Quitman to look for his son. On the road he called on some of his neighbors who went with him. When about two miles east of Quitman they found Young Hale lying in the road shot through the head.
The ball entered the temple passing through the brain and came out on the opposite side of the head. He was taken home and died about 8 o'clock yesterday morning. A telephone message from Quitman just received stated that two men on horseback were seen riding hurriedly away from the place where Hale was found immediately after the pistol shot was heard and one of the horses had been identified. Also that an arrest would be made in a few minutes. Hound s were placed on the trail of the horses and tracked them by a circuitous route into the town of Quitman.

Have you ever wondered what it's like to cook meth with an armed Hells Angel named California Sack? Let this ex-con and former Aryan Brother, who once made $4 million in a year cooking and selling ice, explain:
Then there was a time I was held up for five days in the desert, living in a trailer and cooking meth. Sack and I were high the entire time; we didn't wear protective gear, and the drug had seeped into every pore in our bodies. Day by day, we started losing our minds. I became convinced that the feds were watching us. We saw people, cars, and airplanes that didn't exist. At some point, we became unable to speak to one another-that's how deep the paranoia ran. Every bush had someone lurking behind it.
And now you know.

Election turnout difficult to predict for Tuesday's municipal races
More than 52,000 voters are registered for Board of Education, City Council elections
Published: Monday, August 26, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, August 25, 2013 at 11:42 p.m.
More than 52,000 voters are registered for Tuesday's City Council and Board of Education elections, according to the latest City Hall and county registrar records.
Polling places
Voters in each of the city's seven districts can cast their ballots between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.
For Districts 3, 6 and 7, voters will have a new polling place. They are:
District 3: First Wesleyan Church on 1501 McFarland Blvd. N.
District 6: Grace Church at 2112 Hargrove Road E.
District 7: Skyland Elementary at 408 Skyland Blvd. E.
The polling places for the remaining districts are unchanged from the 2009 municipal election. These locations are:
District 1: Tuscaloosa Department of Transportation at 1000 28th Ave.
District 2: McDonald Hughes Community Center at 3101 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.
District 4: Calvary Baptist Church Annex at 1121 Paul W. Bryant Drive
District 5: Boys and Girls Club of Tuscaloosa County at 717 21st Ave. E.
Croom said signs will be posted at the former polling places and at other locations within the city directing voters to the new and current voting locations.
Anyone with questions about a particular voting precinct was asked to call City Hall at 205-248-5311.
Challenged races
For voters in districts 2 and 3, the only item on these ballots will be that of the city's Board of Education chair because only one candidate qualified to run in both the City Council and school board races.
All races are non-partisan, and the school board victors in this election will earn $7,200 annually while the City Council winners will earn $25,036 a year. However, a cost of living adjustment in the city's fiscal 2014 budget is expecting to increase this salary to $25,562.
The challenged races and their respective districts are:
All districts
Board Of Education Chair
Lee Garrison
Denise Hills
District 1
City Council
Bobby Earl Howard (i)
Panganena "Panga" Wilson
Burrell G. Odom
Gregory "Greg" Stallworth
Board of Education
James Minyard (i)
Earnestine "Stine" Young
District 4
Board of Education
Kelly Horwitz (i)
Cason Kirby
District 5
Board of Education
Harry C. Lee (i)
Joe Gattozzi
District 6
City Council
Bob Lundell (i)
Eddie Pugh
Patricia Evans Mokolo
Board of Education
Marvin L. Lucas (i)
John Lollar
District 7
City Council
William Tinker (i)
Sonya McKinstry
Albert G. "Big Al" Stinson Jr.
Board of Education
Erskine Simmons (i)
Renwick Jones
As of last week's voter registration deadline, 49,222 of those registered voters were listed as "active," said Tuscaloosa City Clerk Tracy Croom, who is acting as this year's municipal election manager.
An additional 3,234 voters were deemed "inactive," meaning officials do not have an updated address for them because the mailed postcards notifying voters of their respective polling places were returned.
Should any of these voters show up at the polls, they will be asked to provide proof of an updated address before they can cast a ballot, Croom said.
Sarah McFarland, a registrar for the Tuscaloosa County Board of Registrars, said that while there was a slight increase in the number of residents registering to vote in recent weeks, it was nothing extraordinary.
"We got a little bit extra than we do normally in August, but not that much extra," McFarland said, adding that there is an annual increase in voter registrations in August as students return to school.
Despite more than half of the city's population, according to 2010 U.S. Census data, being registered to vote, that does not mean officials are expecting a high turnout when the polls open.
"At this time, I really can't gauge the voter turnout for Tuesday in comparison to 2009," Croom said. "Each municipal election has its own characteristics and this election appears to be no different."
While three City Council and five Board of Education individual district seats are challenged, the only citywide election is for the chair of the city Board of Education.
Four years ago, when three City Council seats and four Board of Education district seats were on the ballot, less than 5,000 voters cast a ballot. This equates to about 10 percent of the 49,086 registered voters in Tuscaloosa for that election.
If anything is an indicator that the this year's election will be higher is the school board chair race and the fact that more than $181,000 had been contributed to the Board of Education candidates as of earlier this month.
This is more than the total funds raised in the three previous school board elections combined.

September 14, 2005
The young soldier was sent to New Orleans with Fort Gordon's 93rd Signal Brigade to restore the city he grew up in. And this soldier went there to work not knowing his own family was safe.
Specialist Corey Kelly grew up about five miles outside of New Orleans' West Bank in a town called Gretna. The day before we met him, he was on a new mission: to find his dad. Looking at his destroyed hometown again was too painful for Specialist Kelly and you'll see why.
When you meet Specialist Corey Kelly you can't help but be drawn to his big smile. And when you ask him what it was like to grow up in Gretna, LA, just miles away from the Superdome, that smile somehow gets bigger.
"I have a lot of good memories over there," Kelly said.
Corey grew up in Gretna, but left three years ago to join the Army. He hadn't been home since. When Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast, he was quickly called up to New Orleans with Fort Gordon's 56th Signal Battalion to restore communication. But with phone lines out for civilians, Corey had still not spoke with his own dad, or "Pops" as he calls him.
When Corey's commander heard that, they set out to Gretna for a reunion. A drive through the town shows destruction on every corner.
The house Specialist Kelly grew up in is okay, but a big tree fell on his cousin's house, downing power lines and pretty much destroying it.
"I had plans of getting out and doing things. Now it's like I have nothing to go home to," Kelly said.
But his smile returned when Corey saw Good Hope Baptist Church still standing. His great grandfather built it.
"I was really worried about that because it was the center of the neighborhood," Kelly said.
His grandmother's house is next to the church. It's still standing, too, but no sign of Pops yet.
A turn around the corner to his uncle's house and Kelly saw his dad for the first time in years.
"I ran inside and he was there and we hugged and it was the highlight of the day right there. I was happy," Kelly said.
Corey gave his dad a dog tag his unit wears. The bible verse Joshua 1:9 is on it, which says, "Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified."
A verse to remember as he works to rebuild his home.
"This is where I grew up and if I can have a hand in rebuilding it, it will just make it that much better when it's up and running again," Kelly said.
And when that happens, be looking for the biggest smile yet.

ROSSMOOR -- Dozens of silver-haired seniors listened intently Tuesday as some of the country's top attorneys and a cadre of white-collar crime investigators taught them how to avoid becoming a victim of a Bernie Madoff-type fraud scheme.
The four-hour summit on investor fraud was the first and only California stop on a nationwide tour prompted by a spike in fraud cases the past three years, experts said. Seven U.S. Attorneys from the West Coast, the head of the Department of Justice's fraud unit, the SEC regional director and a group of investment fraud experts from the FBI, Google and other agencies spoke on various topics.
U.S. Attorney Melinda Haag of the Northern District, which includes the Bay Area, and a colleague noticed there was a need after finding that in the previous 18 months, 85 of the 93 U.S. Attorney districts had prosecuted a significant investor fraud case, exceeding $20 billion and 100,000 victims. Haag, A UC Berkeley law school graduate whose friend's mother lives in the Rossmoor retirement community near Walnut Creek, thought Rossmoor would be the perfect venue for the event.
"This is our audience," she said. "Seniors are often targeted, and our point is to educate."
The older generation has significant savings, and retirees are trusting, polite, often lack technological skills and are frequently home to take scam phone calls, experts said.
"We're the perfect targets here," said Andy Okumoto, 80, of Rossmoor. "Money does draw people into doing the wrong thing."
Jim and Shirley Peterson can vouch. The Arizona retirees, who spoke at the summit, lost $300,000 in an investment scam introduced to them through their best friends.
"It really sounded too good to be true but they were our best friends and telling us how much money they were making and they were showing us their books," said Jim Peterson, who blew his nest egg accumulated from decades working at John Deere.
"If we can just help one of you today I will fell really good about it," his wife told the crowd.
Investment scams, often Ponzi or pyramid schemes, change over the years, often shaped by current events. In past years, hedge funds were big, where fraudsters would persuade investors they could gain access to what was previously only for the ultrarich. These days, oil, gas and gold schemes are hot, along with fraudulent "crowdfunding" opportunities in which investors are told they can chip in to help fund a startup, experts said.
Although featuring different products, the schemes are all the same. New investor money goes toward paying old investors -- if any money goes to investors at all -- with the scam artists pocketing most of the money and often spending lavishly.
Many of these scams are coming to light now, said Denis McInerney, chief of the Department of Justice's fraud department in Washington D.C.
"In a financial crisis and tough economic times people start asking for their money," he said. "That is why the jig is up for a lot of these fraudsters."
U.S. Attorney Jenny Durkin, who oversees the Seattle area, brought up an old axiom.
"If it's too good to be true," she said, "why would they share that info with you?"

Apple and Samsung return to federal court in San Jose on Monday, squaring off in a second trial in their global patent feud over the rights to smartphone and tablet innovation.
Apple will resume its legal assault on its South Korean tech rival, accusing Samsung of continuing to copy key features from the iPhone and iPad in more recent lines of products, with billions of dollars at stake in a trial expected to unfold until early May before U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh.
Jury selection is set to begin Monday, with the lawyers likely to make their opening statements to the jury at some point Tuesday.
Apple won the first round against Samsung, persuading a jury in August 2012 to find that Samsung violated Apple's patent rights in a verdict that is now on appeal. Samsung faces close to $1 billion in damages as a result of that trial.
The second trial involves Apple's claims on five patents on devices such as the iPhone 5 and iPad Mini, including the patent on the Siri voice feature, and targets Samsung smartphones such as the Galaxy S3.

Josh Granade was not planning on missing his wedding this weekend, but after he was hit by a car on Bobby Jones Expressway, the plans changed. (WRDW-TV / July 30, 2012)
Since our story aired, News 12 has spoken with a manager at Enterprise Mill. He says they are more than willing to work with the couple about rescheduling the reception. He says they can only discuss changes about the deal with family members because they are the ones on the contract.
News 12 at 6 o'clock / Monday, July 30, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- "The first thing he said to her was I love you and I'm sorry," revealed Matron of Honor Lyndsie Sutton.
An apology coming from Josh Granade to his fiancee, even though he was the one that got hit by a car. That's because this accident happened only five days before the couple was supposed to get married.
"Right now, they've been canceled. No wedding. Everything is postponed. We'll have to see how the recovery is and everything and then go from there," Sutton said.
Granade was picking up clothes that fell out of his truck on the side of Bobby Jones Expressway when he was hit.
Fort Gordon soldier Matthew Harvey stopped to help moments after witnessing the accident.
"We took my shirt off and basically cut my shirt up and used it as Band-Aids and tried to seal up some of his wounds," Harvey said. "It could have been far worse than it is. I'm just glad that he's actually able to survive that type of accident and to later on be able to get married still."
Now Granade is in the ICU with a broken leg and wrist and injuries to his shoulder and liver.
Sutton says the couple planned on having the reception at Enterprise Mill, and the venue is still asking to be paid in full.
"No exceptions, because she signed a contract saying she would pay everything, so they want money by Friday, and there's nothing we can do," Sutton said.
They offered to reschedule, but there are no Saturdays available for the rest of the year.
"They shouldn't have to stress out about that right now, I don't think. With everything else going on, that should be the least of their worries," Sutton said.
She says the couple is still in high spirits even though their seven-month engagement will have to last a little while longer.
"She's not mad at all. She just wants him to get better and get out of the hospital ... and get married," Sutton said.
Even though the accident isn't a laughing matter, Sutton joked that this is a good test before the couple spends the rest of their lives together.
They have not rescheduled their wedding date yet. They're waiting to see how Granade's recovery goes.

'Twilight: Breaking Dawn, Part 2′ Tops Box Office for Third Straight Week
The box office winners held steady from weeks past, as a Brad Pitt vehicle failed to make much headway with moviegoers.
"The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2," the final film of the teen vampire franchise, took the No. 1 spot for the third consecutive week, earning $17.4 million. The film, from Lions Gate Entertainment Corp.'s Summit Entertainment, has earned $254.6 million in cumulative domestic receipts.
"Twilight" narrowly beat out the latest James Bond film "Skyfall," which took in $17 million, putting it in second place. After four weekends in theaters, "Skyfall" has earned $246 million in cumulative domestic grosses.
In third place also after four weekends in theaters was the Steven Spielberg-directed "Lincoln," which took in $13.5 million, bringing its cumulative domestic grosses to $83.7 million. The film, from DreamWorks Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Co., stars Daniel Day-Lewis as the 16th president of the U.S.
"Rise of the Guardians," the animated family film from DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc., earned $13.5 million in its second weekend in theaters. The $145 million "Guardians," distributed by Viacom Inc.'s Paramount Pictures, has taken in $48.9 million in cumulative domestic receipts, just slightly more than another pricey picture, "Life of Pi."
An adaptation of the 2001 novel, "Life of Pi," earned $12 million after its second weekend in theaters, bringing cumulative domestic grosses for the $115 movie, from News Corp.'s Twentieth Century Fox, to $48.4. News Corp. owns both Fox and The Wall Street Journal.
Disney's animated "Wreck-It Ralph" continued a healthy run, earning slightly more than $7 million, which allowed it to edge out a new release featuring Mr. Pitt, "Killing Them Softly." The crime drama adapted from a 1974 George V. Higgins novel, distributed by the Weinstein Co., earned $7 million from 2,424 screens.

Nicholls State University awards 600 degrees
Bomb threat delayed start of one ceremony, prompted heightened security.
Published: Saturday, May 18, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, May 18, 2013 at 11:17 p.m.
More than 600 graduates donned caps and gowns Saturday and walked across the stage at Nicholls State University in Thibodaux to accept their hard-earned degrees.
Terrebonne's Sheriff's Office officials also aided in the sweep, lending their specially-trained bomb-sniffing dogs to the effort.
Photo Galleries
The diplomas were handed out in a pair of commencement ceremonies at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., the latter amid heightened security prompted by a bomb threat, authorities said.
The threat was received by a 911 dispatcher just after 9 a.m., said Nicholls State Police Chief Craig Jaccuzzo. The caller, who remained at large Saturday evening, said a bomb hidden on campus was set to blow up in five hours, a time that coincided with the 2 p.m. ceremony.
A sweep of campus buildings turned up nothing suspicious, Jaccuzzo said. Nicholls, Thibodaux and Terrebonne's Sheriff's officers searched using metal detectors and bomb-sniffing dogs.
Beefed-up security was evident at the 2 p.m. ceremony, and attendees were required to leave bags and gifts in their cars. The extra security wasn't as visible in the morning ceremony due to the timing of the threat, Jaccuzzo said.
New marketing graduate Calli Baio of Marrero said graduates received notifications of the threat while waiting to head out in their caps and gowns, but she wasn't too concerned.
"They did a good job securing everything," she said.
Despite the threat, both ceremonies were packed with proud families and friends waiting to wish their graduates well.
University of Louisiana System President Sandra K. Woodley was the keynote speaker.
She shared her story of achieving success after finishing college as a non-traditional student and offered advice to the new graduates.
Woodley, an Alabama native, was the first person in her family to earn a college degree. She married at 18 and earned her first degree over 10 years while raising two children.
She went on to earn a master of business administration at Auburn University and a doctorate in business administration and management at Nova Southeastern University. Today, she has worked at five major university systems across the country.
She advised graduates that determination trumps all else in life, and she told them never to judge a book by its cover because smart, capable people can be hiding in surprising places.
Her final bit of advice is probably oft-repeated by parents and kindergarten teachers: "Be nice," she said. She added that being a nice person can move you forward in business.
She also thanked Nicholls State University President Stephen Hulbert, who will retire in August.
Hulbert thanked the faculty and parents and wished the students luck in their futures and careers.
After the ceremony, Hulbert reflected on attending his final commencement services as president.
"There's always a degree of excitement and regret at the end of the year," Hulbert said. "This is close to my 40th graduation at Nicholls, and my last. I can say I'm always happy to see these young people graduating this year, but it's also a little sad."
Brittany Scott, 29, a nursing graduate from Bourg, said the day was a great one despite complications.
"It's a fabulous day with friends and family," she said. "Congratulations to all the 2013 graduates."

WASHINGTON -- The deadly attack on a U.S. diplomatic post in Libya propelled foreign policy into the forefront of an otherwise inward-looking presidential campaign on Wednesday and presented an unexpected test not only to the incumbent who must manage an international crisis, but also to the challenger whose response quickly came under fire.
While President Barack Obama dealt with the killings of an ambassador and three other Americans and deflected questions about his handling of the Arab world, Mitt Romney, the Republican seeking Obama's job, wasted little time in going on the attack, accusing the president of apologizing for American values and appeasing Islamic extremists.
"They clearly sent mixed messages to the world," Romney told reporters during a campaign swing through Florida.
But Romney came under withering criticism for distorting the chain of events overseas and appearing to try to gain political advantage from an episode that claimed American lives. A statement personally approved by Romney characterized an appeal for religious tolerance issued by the U.S. Embassy in Cairo as an apology for violence that did not actually occur until hours after it was released. Romney said the statement, which was disavowed by the administration, was "akin to apology, and I think was a severe miscalculation."
Obama fired back later in the day, accusing his opponent of politicizing a national tragedy. "Governor Romney seems to have a tendency to shoot first and aim later," he told CBS News for its "60 Minutes" program. "And as president, one of the things I've learned is you can't do that -- that, you know, it's important for you to make sure that the statements that you make are backed up by the facts, and that you've thought through the ramifications."
The harsh exchanges came after Romney, who had been criticized for not mentioning Afghanistan in his convention speech and was watching Obama build a modest lead in the polls, saw an opportunity to regain the offensive and draw a stark contrast with the president on foreign policy.
When aides on Tuesday showed Romney the statement from the embassy in Cairo, the candidate -- who devoted much of his 2010 book, "No Apology," to a withering critique of Obama for what he described as attempts to placate America's enemies -- reacted strongly to the language about "hurt" religious feelings, aides said.
The resulting statement took shape while Romney and a reduced staff contingent flew from Reno, Nev., to Jacksonville, Fla., from about 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Tuesday, and the statement went out about an hour after he landed and signed off on it. Aides said it was drafted by committee -- a team effort by one group of advisers specializing in policy, the communications team and the strategy shop.
"It's disgraceful that the Obama administration's first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks," the statement said.
The resulting episode was perhaps the most vivid confrontation over events abroad since the general election began taking shape and ended up putting Romney on the defensive as he sought to define his differences with the president and demonstrate his bona fides as a potential commander in chief.
Most Republican leaders in Congress declined to follow Romney's lead as he assailed the Obama administration, and by the end of the day, many analysts concluded that he had hurt himself by jumping in precipitously.
"I would probably have waited 12 or 24 hours and put out a more comprehensive statement," said Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., the chairman of the Homeland Security Committee. "When something tragic happens and a quick statement is made, it can be interpreted as political."
Romney's criticism fed into his larger theme of painting Obama as an apologist for the United States, and his team stuck by it. "While there may be differences of opinion regarding issues of timing," said one senior strategist, who asked not to be named, "I think everyone stands behind the critique of the administration, which we believe has conducted its foreign policy in a feckless manner."
The Romney team focused on a statement disavowing a controversial American-made, anti-Islam video that was issued by the Cairo Embassy around 12:30 p.m. local time on Tuesday -- before any attacks -- in an effort to pre-empt protests. "We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others," it said. The first protests in Cairo came about six hours later. Nothing had yet happened in Benghazi.
The White House, too, decided the embassy language went too far; officials privately told reporters it was not cleared in Washington. The embassy reaffirmed the statement even after protests began, posting a message on Twitter that it "still stands," but then tried to delete that message.
By Wednesday morning, when news of the four deaths became public, Romney's initial statement looked clumsy and badly timed to many, and Republicans like Peggy Noonan, the Wall Street Journal columnist, and John Sununu, the former New Hampshire senator, publicly criticized it.
Republicans like Speaker John Boehner and Sen. Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader, kept their distance from Romney's comments, instead sticking to expressions of resolve and sorrow.

BOJ Beat: Five Takeaways From Tankan
The Bank of Japan's closely watched tankan survey released Monday showed a strong improvement in business sentiment backed by a weakening of the yen and resurgent corporate earnings. The upbeat view among firms is good news for Prime Minister Shinzo Abe as he seeks to pull the economy out of deflation, but the outlook remains murky as the poll also showed companies have yet to be fully convinced of a full-fledged recovery ahead of a planned increase in the sales tax from April. Here are five takeaways from the BOJ's survey.
Brightest Sentiment in Six Years
The most closely monitored figure, the diffusion index among large manufacturers, rose to 16 from 12 in the previous September poll. That's the highest since it hit 19 in December 2007 and topped market expectations for a reading of 15. The positive figure indicates the number of firms seeing good business conditions outnumbered those saying they were bad. The index among non-manufacturers also rose to 20 from the previous 14, the best reading since 20 in September 2007 and up six points from the previous survey.
Upbeat View Spreading
Sentiment among smaller firms also improved, surprising many economists who had expected it to remain subdued due to rising costs stemming from higher energy bills and as a weaker yen makes imported materials more expensive. The index for smaller manufacturers improved 10 points to 1, the highest level since December 2007, while the figure for non-manufacturers jumped by 5 points to 4, the highest since February 1992.
Tighter Labor Market
Businesses are feeling a labor shortage, a positive sign for the BOJ as a tighter labor market would lead to wage increases, seen as crucial for lifting the economy out of deflation. The index measuring whether companies see an excess or a shortage in the workforce stood at minus 10 for all firms in all industries in December from minus 5. A negative reading shows that firms see a shortage. Among non-manufacturers, the index was at minus 16, the lowest since December 1992.
Cautious Outlook
Despite the brighter mood, big companies cut their investment plans for the current financial year ending next March to a 4.6% increase from 5.1% previously. The cautiousness shows they are not fully confident of a sustained recovery in domestic demand as the planned sales tax increase in April to 8% from 5% is expected to dampen consumption. That's not welcome news for the BOJ. The central bank hopes an increase in corporate investment will take the place of consumer spending as a key growth driver.
Temporary Rush Demand
Economists also warn that rush buying by consumers ahead of the tax increase may be behind the upbeat view among some industries. Sentiment showed a similar improvement in the run-up to the previous sales tax increase in April 1997, but then worsened subsequently. The index of areas in basic materials such as lumber and wood products, ceramics and non-ferrous metals jumped significantly as they benefited from front-loaded demand for housing and construction orders before the tax increase. Sentiment among large auto makers also improved, with the index rising to 31 from 27.

Laurel Park passes $2,150,000 budget
Published: Thursday, June 20, 2013 at 7:09 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, June 20, 2013 at 7:09 a.m.
The town of Laurel Park passed its $2,150,000 budget Tuesday for fiscal year 2013-14.
The general fund budget is 3.5 percent, or $72,050, higher than the current year's amended budget. It is based on an ad valorem tax rate on property of 36 cents per $100 valuation, which is no change from the 2012-13 rate.
The water fund budget for fiscal year 2013-14 is $338,100, which is a 7.4 percent — $23,300 — increase from the current year's amended budget. The sewer fund budget for fiscal year 2013-14 is $83,000, which is 3.8 percent, or $3,000, more than the current year's budget.

The longest-standing observance in West Contra Costa of the holiday honoring civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. returns Jan. 21 in El Cerrito.
The 24th annual celebration opens with the traditional parade that starts at the parking lot of the El Cerrito Department of Motor Vehicles at 9:30 a.m.
The community is invited to be part of the parade, which begins assembling at 9 a.m. and will be led by the El Cerrito High School marching band as it proceeds to the ECHS campus at 540 Ashbury Ave. for the program and rally that starts in the Performing Arts Center at 10:15 a.m.
The program will include displays and speeches, along with music, dancing and other entertainment that will share Dr. King's vision of equality.
The free observance is sponsored by the city, St. Peter Christian Methodist Episcopal Church, the El Cerrito Branch of the NAACP and the West Contra Costa Unified School District.
For more details, contact Patricia Durham at 510-234-2518.
WEST COUNTY NOTES: East Bay musician Evie Ladin uses her stage skills in many roles, from performing as part of the popular Stairwell Sisters, to appearing with husband Keith Terry as the Crosspulse Rhythm Duo at clubs such as Freight & Salvage in Berkeley, to holding instructional sessions on banjo picking at local venues.
This week, Ladin will perform with her own band -- including Terry, Dina Maccabee and Erik Pearson -- in a program of "traditional music with an urban sensibility" at the next Point Richmond Acoustic Concert Series show at 8 p.m. Jan. 11 at First Methodist Church, 201 Martina Ave.
Wisconsin songwriter Katie Dahl opens the show at the historic church, an intimate venue known for its acoustics.
Tickets are $15 at the door. The concert series continues on the second Friday of the month through May. For more details, visit www.pointacoustic.org.
Berkeley got on board with an event last October that closed 17 blocks of Shattuck Avenue for the afternoon, and organizers at Livable Berkeley estimate that more than 40,000 people attended to "connect with their community and urban environment in a transformative way."
Livable Berkeley is rallying support as the Berkeley City Council is scheduled at its Jan. 22 meeting to consider whether to support a proposed Sunday Streets event in 2013. The catch is that the city would have to waive costs and fees for the repeat event to become a reality.
A petition urging City Council support is online at http://chn.ge/VRkfv9.
This week, El Cerrito was scheduled to install markers commemorating San Pablo Avenue's role as part of the historic Lincoln Highway, the first designated coast-to-coast motor route in the United States.
The city has been working with El Cerrito Historical Society members Barbara Hill and Rich Bartke on the project, and the signs were purchased by three society members and donated to the city. This year is the highway's 100th anniversary.
The highway "ran coast to coast beginning in Times Square in New York City and ending in Lincoln Park, San Francisco," the society notes in its newsletter. "The route changed many times as improvements were made. Locally, after the Carquinez Bridge was opened in 1927, the route moved from the Stockton Altamont Pass alignment to come through El Cerrito to the Berkeley pier ferry landing."
Highway marker locations on San Pablo are north of Blake Street, south of Cutting Boulevard, south of El Dorado Street and south of Lincoln Avenue.
Learn more about the Lincoln Highway system at www.lincolnhighwayassoc.org.
The ensemble, which has toured internationally, specializes in "folk-rock and Americana songs with interwoven harmonies supported by guitars and percussion."
The local performance is part of the Live From St. Alban's music series, and a suggested donation of $10 per person is requested. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and tea and coffee will be served.
The company has received a grant from UC Berkeley's Scandinavian Department to premiere a dance program this spring with Swedish poetry.
Roszak, the center's artistic director, is also planning a curated dance series called "Dance on Center" this year.

MORAGA -- One of the marvelous, hoped-for pleasures in attending a film festival is the chance to rub shoulders with stars of the industry.
The 15th Annual California Independent Film Festival, under way through Nov. 11, at the New Rheem Theatre in Moraga and at the Orinda Theatre, offers a glittering trifecta of opportunity with Lifetime Achievement Award winner Connie Stevens.
A sold-out Nov. 10 luncheon, an afternoon lecture and an evening awards celebration will unpack highlights of Stevens' career in the film, musical recording, television, Broadway and cosmetic industries.
Recognized for her dazzling smile and vivacious stage presence, she initially marked her star territory as "Cricket Blake" in the popular television 1959-63 detective series "Hawaiian Eye." Stevens added heft during her early career by joining Bob Hope on overseas tours to entertain U.S. troops during the Vietnam War.
"Performing in front of 40,000 soldiers in Da Nang was remarkable," she says, "but that wasn't the end of it. Last night, I walked four miles in honor of the Women's Memorial in Washington (D.C.). Realize there were 102 women killed in the last five years in Iraq and Afghanistan."
Her longtime passion for honoring people serving in the Armed Forces is one reason the festival's timing resonates with her. The Veteran's Day weekend provides a bully pulpit for the clamor she hopes to create. On her wrist, Stevens wears a bracelet in honor of Bowe Bergdahl, a U.S. soldier who has been in captivity in Afghanistan since January 2009.
"We give up 40 people from Guantanamo, but we can't get one man back? You need to put that in your article," she insists. "We need to write our congressmen and our senators. Every mother should ask for Bowe back, because he's everyone's son."
Windfeather, an organization she founded because she is part Native American and was curious about water problems on reservations, awards revenue from windmill construction to young Native Americans.
"We've given scholarships for 30 years. The first scholarship I ever gave? That girl became the engineer who built the building where I used to live in New York!" she exclaims proudly.
Her memories of headlining in Las Vegas are a more mixed bag.
"It was a physical time for me, a time when I had the most prowess as a dancer, and I loved that medium," she recalls. "I had a company of 20, but I lost those dancers to AIDS: my whole company was wiped out and it was very difficult to go back there after that."
Hope springs eternal, she jokes, answering a question about a favorite song and who she might sing it with.
"I'd pick 'Oh, Shenandoah' and sing with Michael McDonald. I just adore him. Really, I'd want to sing anything he's written."
As a filmmaker, Stevens' first foray was a Vietnam documentary.
"I took 100 women and their stories and got my feet wet with that," she begins, before jumping to discuss "Saving Grace B. Jones," her 2011 award-winning feature film.
"After 9/11, I was driving in Missouri, where the story takes place. I started writing immediately and when I finished the script, I showed it to a friend of mine. He wrote a check and said, 'You have to make this movie.' "
The film stars Oscar winner Tatum O'Neal as Grace, a woman released after two decades from an insane asylum who comes to live with her brother and his wife. A flood exacerbates the family's tension.
This latter aspect helps tag the film as autobiographical. At age 12, Stevens witnessed a murder on the streets of Brooklyn, NY, then fled to a Missouri town, which was devastated by a flood.
"The day I shot the scene that's most like the shooting I witnessed, I was more concerned about the actress. But as it unfolded and I finished the film, I changed. I now don't think of the (actual) murder as much as the I do the film," she says.
O'Neal won the Best Leading Actress award (for her portrayal of Grace) at the 2012 New York City Independent Film Festival.
"I knew Tatum could deliver because she had been in those deep places. She knew turmoil. I told her I wouldn't let her have even three seconds of false film. She fell in love with the character and that makes a performance," Stevens says.
What makes a career is nearly the same as that -- strong direction and love of craft.
Today, Stevens -- now in her 70s -- stands at the helm of "Forever Spring," her cosmetic skin care company. Hard at work on "Prairie Bones," a new film about the aftermath of the Civil War and how a ravaged nation struggled to accept a population of slaves transitioning to freedom, she's not resting on her laurels.
"I rejuvenate by watching TV, writing, and reading. I'm reading a book about the last strong tribe, the Comanches, and Michelle Malkin's "Culture of Corruptions" ... and Socrates, because someone asked me about it and I couldn't remember everything I'd learned."

Hi all;
I'm struggling with this problem for a couple of days and now i'm out of ideas. Here's my headache;
i can run PMS perfectly on Vista with both wired and wireless connection. But in OpenSuse 11.1 it does detect only wlan0 and loopback interface, although ethernet port on my laptop blinks and works perfectly with other system services. I'm using PMS v1.04 and it doesn't print out any error messages during start-up. Just there isn't eth0 interface in the "General Configuration" tab and doesn't detected in the "Traces" section.
I've turned off firewall (both software and hardware). Tried to manage network devices with both ifup and NetworkManager, shut down wlan0 interface from laptop's wireless switch but didn't work out for me
My laptop is a Toshiba A200 series one.OpenSuse 11.1, Java ver 184.108.40.206, kernel ver 188.8.131.52-9 on KDE 4.1 without desktop effects (both native and compiz)
Any ideas appreciated, i don't want to run vista anymore, its only connection with me is Ps3MediaServer. if i can work this out i can kiss my NTFS partition goodbye
PS: Sorry for my English, it's not my native language

Home Builders: Lot Scarcity Still Main Problem
Most builders responding to a recent survey released Wednesday by the National Association of Home Builders noted that lots ready for construction remain in short supply, and that scarcity is among the chief factors hindering the housing recovery.
That much we already knew, as so called finished lots have been relatively hard to come by since cash-strapped developers stopped producing them during the recession. The more recent concern is this: The rise in home prices has started to slow by some measures, and that could end up haunting builders who pay top dollar for the few lots now available.
Builders buy lots based on their projections of where home prices will be when the house is completed and sold. If home prices don't continue posting strong gains, as they have in most months since late 2011, then builders likely can't justify paying increasingly higher prices for lots. Housing research firm Zelman & Associates says lot prices were 24% more expensive in the second quarter than a year earlier.
"The concern is: If lot prices are so high that buying the lots only makes sense if you assume continued home-price increases at a certain rate, then you really better be careful of what home prices you're assuming," said Brad Hunter, chief economist for housing research company Metrostudy, a division of Hanley Wood LLC.
The builders association's survey, conducted in August, yielded 341 respondents. Of those, 58.6% reported that the supply of lots in their markets was "low" or "very low." In comparison, that figure stood at 43% last year.
In the latest survey, another 22% of respondents said the supply of lots was "normal," 9.7% said it was "high" and 4.1% said "very high." The final 5.6% said they didn't know.
Not surprisingly, respondents said the most acute shortages are in the most desirable markets.
The builders association in a press release characterizes the lot shortage as "one of the key factors holding back a more modest housing recovery," along with construction-labor shortages in some markets, rising interest rates and tight credit standards for buyers.
The shortages of land and labor also had helped to push up home prices in the past two years. The average price of a new home in the U.S. rose steadily from the mid $200,000s in late 2011 to more than $300,000 earlier this year, hitting a high of $337,000 in April, according to census estimates. However, the monthly averages have retreated since that April high at the same time that interest rates have increased.

The population growth in the next decades will lead to an increased demand for food, feed and energy requiring an intensification of agricultural production and land use changes that may negatively impact our natural resources such as soil and water. The competition for land resources between food production and biomass production for energy and other raw materials will aggravate the situation in the next years and decades. The requirement for an increased production of resources combined with land use changes affects our ecosystems and it plays a key role in the ongoing climate change. The increased use of fertilizers and pesticides as well as the predicted changes in rainfall and temperature patterns will impact hydrological and biogeochemical fluxes in terrestrial systems. Research which addresses the impact of these changes and the adaptation of terrestrial systems is the key for a sustainable use and protection of our natural resources.
Research at Agrosphere Institute aims at improving our understanding of hydrological and biogeochemical processes in terrestrial systems with a specific focus on agricultural and soil-groundwater systems.

The skill in soft putting is gauging the distance for how much mustered to put on it and how high or low to aim. The skill in putting hard is hitting dead center and low to avoid the spit out. To me adjusting the power and height is much easier than having to hit the perfect spot every time.
I am going to give you so much shiz when you have a spit out tonight.

Enhanced Search Tool Makes it Easier to Find Archived Articles
March 21, 2007
DOE has enhanced the ability to find articles in the archives of the EERE Network News. The newsletter has been produced weekly since 1999, and since 2002 we have entered the articles individually into a database. Our upgraded search engine allows you to search through the archives from 2002 to present to find individual articles by topic. For instance, a search of "Panda Ethanol" will pull up the two articles written about this company, while a search for "Spectrolab" results in six articles. (The issues from 1999 to 2001 are also included in the search engine, but it will pull up the entire issue rather than the specific article.) This new feature will make it much easier to search the newsletter archive to explore the recent history of a topic, a technology, or a company. To use the tool, just enter search items into the search box on the EERE Network News home page or on any of the newsletter's archive pages. Try it out on the newsletter's home page.
Please note that archived articles are presented for information and historical reference only. We do not update the links in the archived editions, so many of them are broken, and in many cases the referenced information is no longer posted on the Web. However, the text preserves a record of the event, a record that we believe is useful for researching trends in energy efficiency and renewable energy. We hope you agree.

Jack Klugman
An "Odd" Man
He was part of one of the funniest television tandems ever. As one half of "The Odd Couple," Jack Klugman entertained, and kept audiences laughing with his slovenly character Oscar Madison. But in real life, Klugman was a hard-working man who went from having nothing to achieving stardom. He overcame a tough childhood to become a celebrity in a field many people told him he was not cut out for. But the challenge of becoming a successful actor wasn't the toughest one he would face. After he made his mark in Hollywood , he was faced with a test of significantly greater proportions.
Jack Klugman was born in South Philadelphia , Pennsylvania on April 22, 1922 . Very poor, Klugman had a rough childhood. His father worked as a house painter, and died at a very young age. Klugman's mother made hats in her kitchen at nights to try to supplement their income to buy food and clothing for her six children. Her hats were very well made, and rich ladies from nice neighborhoods would arrive in their limousines to visit the poor neighborhood where the Klugmans lived, to purchase his mother's creations. Klugman contributed to the family income as well. He noticed that the street vendors did not venture into the bad neighborhoods. So Klugman would walk to where the vendors sold their goods, buy them, and take them to the bad neighborhoods himself. One fond memory he has, was buying two pretzels for a penny from a vendor, and then selling them in the bad neighborhoods for a penny each. It was these experiences Klugman relishes because he believes, "that poverty can teach lessons that privilege cannot."
Klugman's poor upbringing also led him into gambling as a means to make money, and his habit of rolling the dice was partially responsible for his career in acting. "This is a true story. The gambling is what got me into it. I owed a loan shark, who was also a friend, some money. I couldn't pay him, so he turned the debt over to a couple of guys who were going to hurt me a little bit. I had to get out of town. Since I had the GI bill, I remembered my brother knew a guy in the Army who had been to Carnegie Mellon University , so I went there." At the university Klugman enrolled in the drama program, and at first, was a miserable performer. After his first audition, his teacher told him "you're not suited to be an actor. You're more suited, Mr. Klugman, to be a truck driver. Not that there's anything wrong with truck drivers, but you're really not ready for this."
But Klugman persisted, and eventually became accustomed to acting, and even good at it. In 1949, he made his non-salaried stage debut at the Equity Liberty Theatre. Even though he was on stage, the times were still tough. He and his roommate Charles Bronson had to take many menial jobs to make the rent every month. At one point Klugman was even selling his blood for $5.00 a pint. He finally got his break in television, and made appearances on many shows including "The U.S. Steel Hour" and "Alfred Hitchcock Presents." He also made appearances on "The Twilight Zone" where he and Burgess Meredith are tied for having made the most appearances, at four episodes each. His first big break came when he appeared on the TV show "The Defenders" and won an Emmy for his performance.
In 1970, came the role he is most remembered for in the "The Odd Couple." In this show he played Oscar Madison, a newly divorced sports writer who shares his apartment with Felix Unger, a photographer who is also recently divorced. The two characters are complete opposites, with Felix being a neurotic neat freak and Oscar being a cigar-smoking slob. The clash of opposites made for hilarious television, and was a huge hit. Klugman won two Emmy Awards for his portrayal of Oscar. After a long run in "The Odd Couple," Klugman went on to star in another popular, long running show, "Quincy, M.E.," where he played a tough medical examiner who had a penchant for solving crimes. It was the forerunner of many shows to follow in which forensic medicine played a central role.
Klugman had one bad habit in common with his most notable character, smoking. Like Oscar, Klugman always had a cigarette in his mouth. When asked why he started smoking, Klugman talked about influence. "I saw John Garfield smoke. He was my idol, so I smoked. I even smoked like him." And smoke he did. Klugman managed to accrue a significant habit. The many years of cigar smoking most likely were the causative factor in his development of an oral cancer. He was diagnosed with cancer of the larynx in 1974. With surgery and some treatment, he was able to continue acting without much interruption. But Klugman did not stop smoking, and as in many cases of continued tobacco use after treatment, the cancer came back. In 1989, he underwent surgery again to remove the cancer, but this time his right vocal cord had to be removed as well. The surgery left him without the ability to speak.
Klugman has always said that fear is a great motivator. He said it was fear that had propelled him into acting, and that fear can be used to help you reach your dreams. The fear of his oral cancer and the loss of his voice made Klugman open up to loved ones and friends to seek their help and support. Without their support, Klugman maintains, he would not have survived. His friends and loved ones helped him through the agonizing pain of the chemotherapy and surgery as well as the rehabilitation to recover his voice. After being silent for years, Klugman is now able to speak in a small raspy voice. He recently received the American Speech and Hearing Association's International Media Award for his battle to regain his speech.
While the poor choice of long term tobacco use lead to his physical difficulties, Jack Klugman is a role model in many other ways. Overcoming a difficult, poor childhood, striving to succeed when others tell you that you will fail, and battling back against a killer like cancer, all put him in a league of his own.
Brian Hill / OCF note: Mr. Klugman has recently made his return to prime time TV appearing on the drama series "Crossing Jordan ", ironically as a medical examiner. He has also done a live, two-hour one man show, "An Evening with Jack Klugman" which received fantastic reviews, in which he recounts his many anecdotes of working with the legends of entertainment over 5 decades such as Bogart, Garland, Fonda, Randall, and more. While the LA Times reviewer wrote that it "was an impressive extemporaneous feat by any standards". I would like to note that besides it's contents, delivery and entertainment value, you must consider that this event, which ran until Oct 8th of 2003, was done by an individual that with just half of his larynx (vocal box) left after surgery, and a few years earlier could not even speak. His extraordinary battle and strength of will to overcome this and return to the stage makes him a survivor and a fighter of the highest caliber, and his example shows all of us that in spite of what may seem insurmountable odds, a full and rich life still is possible. Mr. Klugman's fight and determination, make him one of two survivors that are my personal heroes, the other being Lance Armstrong. He is an inspiration in the truest meaning of that word. We congratulate Mr. Klugman on his successful battle with oral/throat cancer and return to prime time TV, and to his many fans. In February 2004 Mr. Klugman agreed to help OCF produce it's first Public Service Announcement for broadcast on national TV. We are excited about the possibilities that working with someone of his caliber present.
Mr. Klugman continues to reengage himself in the business of television, theater, and writing. He has now published a wonderful book about his friendship with actor Tony Randall, as well as appearing in the movie "When do we eat?" released in spring of 2006. In may of 2006 Mr. Klugman, after being nominated by OCF founder Brian Hill, will be presented the Strusser award for public service from the NYU School of Dentistry at Madison Square Gardens in New York City. He continues to be an example of quality life after oral cancer, and a vocal proponent of early detection.
*** The foundation is sorry to add to this profile that in 2012, Mr Klugman passed away from age related disease. He was a good friend to the foundation, and a vocal supporter of oral cancer patients everywhere. He and his impact in raising public awareness of our disease and in particular the relationship of tobacco to it, will be truly missed.

It certainly doesn't sound like a typical Bruce Springsteen album, but on the heels of officially announcing his new single, the Havalinas cover�"High Hopes" — out officially today, along with a downloadable version of his recently recorded studio take on "Dream Baby Dream" — comes word of High Hopes, his 18th studio album, due out Jan. 14 and now available for pre-order on iTunes.
Following several weeks of rumor and speculation, and more than one supposed "leaked" track list, here's the track listing for Bruce's latest release, an unusual mix of songs written years ago — studio versions of songs previously played live, or in some cases outtakes that have never seen the light of day –�obscure covers, and some new originals.
High Hopes Harry's Place American Skin (41 Shots) Just Like Fire Would Down in the Hole Heaven's Wall Frankie Fell In Love This Is Your Sword Hunter of Invisible Game The Ghost of Tom Joad The Wall Dream Baby Dream
Judging from the already vociferous reaction in some quarters, there's no shortage of fans upset, or at least concerned, about the apparent mish-moshy nature of the contents of High Hopes – once again Bruce�seems cursed by his now-ancient reputation for laboring over an album until it's a potential masterpiece. If a notoriously eclectic and prolific artist like Elvis Costello put out an album with this kind of mix, people wouldn't bat an eye, and would probably be psyched to hear it. But Bruce Springsteen apparently isn't allowed to put out quirky little albums without everyone getting all uptight about it. Harumph.
Anyway, it's probably not a bad idea to listen to it before passing judgment. Check back here for news, previews and reviews as the release date approaches!


text: The Book of Eli, the newest movie from ghetto (filmmaking) celebrities the Hughes Brothers, is better than any January film has any right to be. As you are probably well aware, January is generally understood as a cinematic graveyard, a time during which all films theatrically released are expected to die short, unpleasant deaths. This is due to the fact that Oscar gambits come to a close at the beginning of the New Year – any film released after December 31st won't be considered for the previous year's Academy Awards. Hence, though Peter Jackson's The Lovely Bones wasn't released nationally until January 15th, it played in Los Angeles and New York starting in mid-December, so that it could hopefully garner the desirable Oscar nod. Those films that are released theatrically on a national scale during January are expected to be entirely off the cultural and Academy radar by the time the next round of nominations are picked.
