In New York, Governor Says Gas Shortage is 'Getting Better'
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Sunday that it will be a "couple of days" before the regional gas shortage is fully resolved.
Power failures and distribution issues have led to long lines at the gas pumps and flared tempers and stalled the region's efforts to get back on its feet after superstorm Sandy.
"There will be more of a supply of gasoline and more of a distribution," the governor said at a Midtown news conference, joined by Mayor Michael Bloomberg and U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer . "That does not mean there will be a total alleviation of the problem in the immediate future, but it is getting better."
He said there are continuing issues with delivery and distribution but didn't detail them. "We're not 100% sure when the system will [fully] up and running," the governor said, adding that the shortage was being exacerbated by car owners' panicking and hoarding fuel.
The signs of the lingering disruption to the supply network could be seen at a gas station on Hylan Boulevard near Midland Avenue in Staten Island, where dozens of people lined a sidewalk Sunday afternoon carrying small tanks that might be used to replenish generators and cars. A few in the crowd expressed anger at New York officials for not freeing up enough gas while others argued with neighbors about who had arrived first.
By and large, however, the atmosphere remained civil. "I come out here three or four hours every day to get gas for my generator and our cars," said Sabrina Basso, 40. "We're all in the same boat."
In front of her, Natasha Lizunova was in line for the second time that day. She had waited two hours earlier in the morning and now wanted another fill-up.
"We don't know when the power is coming back, so we need to fill up our generators," she said.
A couple blocks away, dozens of cars lined up at another station as a tanker refilled pumps. Police had blocked an entire lane with cones for those waiting.

It is the summer's biggest economic development sweepstakes: Officials in five Western states, including our own, are scrambling to woo Tesla to be the home of its $5 billion "gigafactory," to build batteries for its cars and other companies.
The scramble for the high-profile plant, and the prospect of 6,500 manufacturing jobs, comes at a time when there is growing concern about how to address the nation's increasing income inequality. Tesla has even more allure; it represents a future-oriented industry.
That's enough to get officials in California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and Nevada to do everything short of begging. They are rushing incentive packages through state legislatures and trying to remove regulatory hurdles, anything to sweeten the deal to snag one of the two $5 billion factories. Tucson's mayor even sent Tesla CEO Elon Musk an honorary building permit.
"Don't be so quick to roll your eyes at the behavior of these eager states," Mark Muro, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, told me.
The Tesla gigafactory is a plum, he said. It's "big enough and prominent enough that its brand, workforce and supply chain can foster broader growth, potentially like the arrival of Japanese automakers in the South did in the 1980s."
Here in Silicon Valley, we aren't used to this sort of strutting and preening to attract a company.
With our nice weather and the self-propelled tech industry, we tend to accept as an article of faith that, of course, companies want to be here. With the unemployment rate hovering around 5 percent for the region, we tend to forget that these prosperous times leave out many.
But other areas aren't so fortunate, and not too proud to showboat.
In June, Texas Gov. Rick Perry drove a Tesla Model S sedan to Sacramento and taunted California officials about what he sees as the overwhelming case to locate the gigafactory in the Lone Star State.
And last week, California Sen. Ted Gaines, R-Roseville, traveled to Tesla headquarters in Palo Alto to deliver a golden shovel as proof of the state's eagerness to work with Tesla on bringing the gigafactory to the Golden State.
"It sends a clear signal that we want to do everything we can to help this happen in California," Gaines told me.
Ground has already broken in Nevada at a potential site for a gigafactory, but there's been no firm commitment yet. The state may call a special session of the Legislature to get an incentive package passed. (Tesla has asked states to come up with about 10 percent of the $5 billion cost.)
John Boyd, principal at the Boyd Co., a corporate location firm, sees value in officials doing public stunts like Gaines and the Tucson mayor.
They "demonstrate a willingness to work with Tesla to get the job done," he said. The politicians' actions won't close the deal, but they "keep the lines of communication open and demonstrate a pro-business acumen."
But such public displays of affection "give the impression that the incentive process will drive the location decision," argued Dennis Donovan, a principal at WDG Consulting, another corporate facility site selection firm. He tells his clients "to identify locations confidentially that meet operating requirements of the business and then engage in a dialogue with the state."
The Tesla beauty pageant is reminiscent of the 1985 competition for which state would be the home of General Motors' first Saturn subsidiary. Seven governors went on the Phil Donahue show to pitch directly to GM's chairman about why their state should be the one. Cities made their case on billboards along Detroit's freeways, near GM's headquarters. Tennessee won that contest for the $3.5 billion plant, which included the promise of 6,000 jobs and tax revenue. The facility produced Saturn vehicles from 1990 until 2007.
As Tesla weighs its choices, I'm sure access to energy, the right workforce and transit lines are top priorities, but so are things states can offer like tax incentives, hiring credits and the clearing of regulatory hurdles. I expect California lawmakers are working behind the scenes to make the state's case.
And you know what, it's worth it since much of this state outside our bubble here in the valley could use the boost. Heck, if a song and dance could help, let's do it.

Boys and girls in one Columbia County school won't be sharing the same classroom anymore, at least for the rest of this school year.
Harlem Middle is one of several schools that didn't meet federal standards under the No Child Left Behind Act. Studies suggest separating boys and girls can improve how well they learn. It's just the third day of the new separation, and eighth grade teacher Amy Bush says her students are more focused.
"They seem to be interacting with me and each other better. There's not as much competition between the boys and the girls," Bush said.
Research suggests separating boys and girls lowers the Number of dropouts and raises test scores. Principal Walker Davis hopes this will work for his students.
"We know that middle schoolers have the other gender on their mind quite a bit," Davis said.
And the research shows students are less intimidated to speak out in class. About a hundred eighth grade students are in single-gender classrooms right now. Harlem Middle
is going to continue this for at least the rest of the year and if it works well, other grades might start doing It next year."
Superintendent Tommy Price told the school board this morning the new program could bring Harlem Middle back up to federal standards.
"They really felt like this would work at Harlem Middle School," Price said.
Student Matthew Kane thinks it will, but he misses the girls.
"You can't really make everyone laugh and cut up in Class," Kane said.
Something Amanda Hamilton may not miss.
"The guys aren't there to make jokes and stuff, so it's a lot easier to pay attention," Amanda said.
"They seem to be able to concentrate better." said teacher Amy bush.
Which is why many teachers want to keep them apart till after class. Harlem middle will decide at the end of the Year if the change will be permanent, and the school board
May encourage other schools to do the same.
Harlem Middle joins about ten other schools across the State with same-sex classrooms, and it seems to be working.

Children's Health
Expandable Water Toys Pose Risk to Children
Sept. 17, 2012 -- Toy balls that expand in water can be fun and fascinating for kids to watch, but if swallowed they can be downright dangerous. A new report published online in the journal Pediatrics warns parents of the health risks of these toys.
Doctors from the Texas Children's Hospital in Houston describe the first presumed case of an 8-month-old girl who swallowed a gel ball, known as Water Balz. The colorful water-absorbing ball can look like a piece of candy to young children, but the toy is made of a superabsorbent polymer that can grow up to 400 times its original size when submerged. It can become as big as a racquetball.
Although the toy was about the size of a marble when the infant put it in her mouth, the ball expanded inside her digestive system.
About 15 hours after the infant swallowed the ball, her parents took her to the hospital because of stomach problems. But X-rays couldn't detect the toy at that time.
Even so, the baby was admitted to the hospital. Within two days, her belly was swollen and she had symptoms that suggested something was lodged in her bowel. Doctors decided to operate. They found the toy ball was blocking the lowest portion of the small intestine.
The water-absorbent ball had expanded to more than an inch big, a size larger than the small intestine's normal diameter. But surprisingly the toy had remained completely intact -- unaffected by the digestive process.
A Growing Problem
Pediatricians involved in this case wanted to find out how quickly and how much the superabsorbent ball could grow, since the material is increasingly being used in gardening products and in other household items.
So they tested the toy balls by placing them in water and then measuring their size hours and days later. After just two hours, the balls had more than doubled in size.
The balls grew at their quickest rate during the first 12 hours of being dropped into water. Testing also showed that the toy balls had not degraded at all after being placed in water for four days.

DENVER -- Raiders linebacker Sio Moore was with the team when it arrived in Denver after being involved in an auto accident Saturday morning and being diagnosed with a concussion.
Moore was added to the injury report and listed ``questionable'' to face the Broncos Monday night at Sports Authority Field.
On his Twitter account, Moore said, ``Talk about a scary morning man. Just thank God I'm safe and made it safely to CO.''
Then he tweeted: ``100 percent I'll be in black with my squad.''
The Raiders were disclosing no details regarding the accident.
Moore must go through the NFL concussion protocol, passing a battery of mental tests, to be cleared for action Monday night.

If you Google "sausage, peaches, and Bisquick".... you'll find this delightful recipe. Ya know, we've all had days when canned peaches and Bisquick were all we had left in the pantry, right? There's actually a story behind this particular Google search, because way back in my early married days, I did make this dish for my new husband. But instead of canned peaches, I used canned pears (do you REALLY think that one or the other would make a difference in the outcome of this recipe?) To this day, hubby says this is the only thing I've ever cooked for him that he didn't care for.
If you Google peanut butter, Velveeta, and maraschino cherries, you'll find this recipe amongst your search results. Seriously, I mean really.... this one even shocked me. See what I mean?
Google did not shock or disappoint me when I relied on its genius to provide me with a recipe for French Onion Soup, however. Luke and Carolyn over at Cookography adapted a recipe from Cook's Illustrated and I followed their instructions up to the part where they're topping the soup with toasted baguette slices. I made my own whole wheat croutons and used them instead.
The fact that my oven did most of the work for this recipe was such a bonus in that caramelizing onions can be very time consuming. The Gruyère cheese is a must. It complements the rest of the ingredients so well and adds the gooey that makes this soup so comforting and filling.

MySpace and Facebook.com have college students posting personal information about themselves and even their schools.
And students are making themselves vulnerable to the outside world.
Now, ASU is stepping up its efforts to monitor student athletes.
ASU's Athletic Department is taking steps to make sure what students are posting online is in good taste.
When basketball junior Tyrekus Bowman isn't suiting up or studying for class, chances are he's logging on.
Like several other student athletes, Tyrekus operates two very personal web pages. They're posted on MySpace and Facebook.com.
"I have a slideshow of some of my basketball highlights," he says. "[Sites like MySpace are] one of the most popular things on campus."
So popular, in fact, they've caught the eye of ASU coaches.
"It gives an opportunity for students to put a lot more on a web page than they probably actually want to," says ASU athletic director Clint Bryant.
That's why Bryant's asking coaches to monitor their players online, looking out for inappropriate pictures, profanity or even illegal activities like underage drinking.
"These are the types of things that we're going to be looking for, because I think those are the type of behaviors that can eventually come back and haunt someone," he says.
To better demonstrate the school's mission, we put Tyrekus to the test, and asked that he show his basketball coach and us the contents of his MySpace page.
"Is there anything in your comments that you might be embarrassed by or wouldn't want your coach to read?" we asked.
"None of my messages would be vulgar or sexually oriented and stuff," Tyrekus said.
What we learned of the junior athlete is that he's very proud of his accomplishments in an ASU uniform, and he says he'd never post material that could compromise his career.
"Are you 21?"
"No, I'm 20."
"Would you ever post pictures of yourself drinking alcohol?"
"That'd be dumb," Tyrekus said.
"If done correctly, [sites like MySpace] can be a very positive thing and a way to communicate among students," says Bryant.
And that's really the message ASU's administration is sending, to educate students on responsible, online behavior.
In a news release, the university says it does not intend to infringe on its students' First Amendment rights.
News 12 did some checking. We found other incidents involving athletes and what they post on MySpace and Facebook.com.
The Bowling Green football coach took one look at the Facebook.com profile photos of his barely-clothed players having too much fun in a hot tub and made them run sprints until they got sick.
And the Ohio State University women's gymnastics coach told her student athletes to clean up their web page profiles or they would not being going on the next away meet.

Numerical celebrations are planned throughout the Bay Area for the mathematical Pi Day on Thursday.
Pi Day is celebrated on the 14th day of the third month, which aligns with the first three digits of pi, 3.14, which is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter.
Pi is an unending number, which has inspired several challenges including events at San Francisco's Mission and Washington high schools.
Students at a math class at Mission High School, located at 3750 18th St., will have a contest to see who can recite the most digits of pi, while another class at Washington High, located at 600 32nd Ave., will also have a Pi recitation contest -- all while eating plenty of pie, San Francisco school officials said.
Other student events include composing "piems" which are poems that use words that have the same number of letters as the corresponding digit of pi and calculating the volume of baked pies before eating them.
A tradition at Washington High School is to decorate the staff lounge with pi decorations. Pi Day also happens to be principal Ericka Lovrin's birthday, school officials said.
Washington High School assistant principal Paul Fan said all grade-level math teachers bring in different types of pie, and that the math department gets the most involved in the day's events.
San Francisco's Exploratorium museum is celebrating 25 years of Pi Day.
The museum is moving to Pier 15 in April, and the new location is where a brass plate from the former museum at the Palace of Fine Arts will be ceremoniously placed as a "Pi shrine," according to museum officials.
Starting at 1 p.m., other Pi Day events will be held at Pier 15 outside the doors to the not-yet opened museum, such as pie eating and other Pi rituals and celebrations.
The California Academy of Sciences will hold "Pi NightLife" as part of a weekly after-hours event at the science museum in Golden Gate Park from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.
The 21 years old and up event will include math activities with the Berkeley-based Mathematical Sciences Research Institute and pie making demonstrations, along with samples to munch on.
At Mission Pie in San Francisco's Mission District at 2901 Mission St., slices of the bakery's pie will be going for $3.14.
The store tweeted this morning, "Come by, get geeky with us." The eatery will be open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Pi Day.
Also in the Mission District, Pi Bar, which lists its opening hour at 3:14 p.m. at its 1432 Valencia St. location, plans to have specials for the eponymous day.
At Patxi's Pizza, with locations in San Francisco, Campbell, Palo Alto, and Lafayette, a lunch special on Thursday includes $3.14 slices.

Losing weight is hard. If it wasn't, everyone would be as trim as a twig, and French people wouldn't be the only ones with the market cornered on how to never get fat. Anyone who's ever tried a diet knows the best intentions don't always lead to the best results. Finding information on dieting and weight loss is easy, but with so many websites, studies and statistics floating around, it can be hard to know what's accurate and what's a marketing gimmick. It can also be hard to know if you even need to lose weight at all. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, if your body mass index (BMI) is between 25 and 29.9, you are considered overweight, and if your BMI is 30 or higher, you are considered obese. Katie Mazzia, registered dietitian at Vail Valley Medical Center, said unless you're an athlete (athletes tend to have a higher BMI due to more muscle mass), a BMI of more than 25 can put you more at risk for health issues.
"Even losing 5 (percent) to 7 percent of your body weight can reduce your risk for health consequences or health-related diseases," Mazzia said. "Excess fat can put you at risk for diabetes because your body produces some insulin but it's not able to get out to the cells to keep your blood sugar in a healthy range, and it's also harder on your heart."
Looking to lose weight but confused about which approach is best? Here's the skinny on what works and what doesn't when it comes to weight loss.
Unless you have an injury or serious medical condition, there's very little downside to exercise. According to the Mayo Clinic, exercise can combat health conditions and disease, improve mood, boost energy and even help you sleep better. Often the words "diet" and "exercise" go hand in hand, but new research suggests when it comes to losing weight, exercise might not do as much as people think. Susan Drake is a registered dietician and nutritionist who treats clients in Eagle County.
"There is science behind exercise and health," Drake said. "But there isn't science behind exercise being the key to weight loss. It's a little misleading thinking that when you exercise you're burning a lot of calories, when in reality, you don't burn a lot of calories unless you're doing lengthy, strenuous exercise. People underestimate how much they eat and overestimate how many calories they burn when they're exercising."
Drake said losing weight is a matter of measuring your metabolism to determine how many calories you need to maintain your current weight and then reducing that number in order to lose weight. Doesn't exercise burn calories? Yes, but for some people, it can also stimulate their appetite.
"The problem with a lot of people (who start a weight-loss program) is that they haven't been used to exercising," Drake said. "(After exercising), they become hungrier and they eat more. People think, 'I exercised, so now I can eat more,' and that can slow down the weight-loss process."
But it's not that you should skip exercise altogether and only monitor your food intake. Mazzia thinks those trying to lose weight might want to focus on being more active throughout the day and increase their activity levels in small amounts each week.
"Sometimes I don't like the word 'exercise,'" Mazzia said. "People equate the word exercise with pain and bad experiences. There are a lot of things that people (could) count as activities. People should just move their bodies more. Those little changes are going to have lasting results because people are changing their behavior. People are most successful if they make small changes. If you don't exercise, start with 10 or 15 minutes a day."
Fad diets make headlines and might help you drop a few pounds in the short term. But if you're seeking lasting weight loss, it might be hard to know what you should and shouldn't be eating and when. Mazzia said one of the biggest roadblocks people face in losing and maintaining a healthy weight is lacking the time to prepare their own food.
"We have a lot of availability and access to convenience food," Mazzia said. "It's hard for people to lose weight because they work, they don't have time, and it's convenient to get already-prepared food."
Mazzia said convenience food often has more calories than what you would cook at home. Drake also said people's diets can get derailed when they don't schedule their meals in advance.
"People's lives can get very hectic and stressed, and that can lead to overeating," Drake said. "When people don't plan ahead, it leads to eating erratically and eating the wrong things."
Mazzia and Drake both agreed eating a balanced diet focused on vegetables, fruits and unprocessed foods is the best way to lose weight and maintain it. Mazzia suggests that for lunch and dinner your plate should be 50 percent nonstarchy vegetables, 25 percent protein and 25 percent whole grains or starch, such as brown rice, quinoa or sweet potatoes. Drake advises eating small meals every three hours, making sure that each meal includes some protein.
"Eating protein helps maintain muscle mass, since protein is the building block of muscle," Drake said. "I've seen people who don't eat enough protein and their metabolism starts to drop, making it more difficult for them to maintain weight loss."
As for foods to avoid, sugary drinks such as iced tea, soda and even juice are loaded with calories that many consume unconsciously.
"When I show someone how much sugar is in a 20-ounce soda and how many calories they're getting out of that, it makes an impact," Mazzia said. "People think that juice is healthy, and it is. But even (drinks) that are 100 percent juice, I would recommend no more than one cup per day."
For some, losing weight is the easy part, but keeping it off can become the real challenge. Mazzia said people who maintain their weight loss have a few healthy habits in common. The National Weight Control Registry surveyed people who lost at least 30 pounds and kept it off for a year and came up with these statistics:
• 78 percent ate breakfast every day.
• 75 percent of people weighed themselves at least once a week.
• 62 percent watched less than 10 hours of TV a week.
• 90 percent exercised at least 1 hour per day.
Mazzia said in terms of the last statistic, it is unknown whether survey respondents were using the term "exercise" to describe a workout routine or simply an overall amount of physical activity each day. While weighing yourself once a week can seem problematic for some, Mazzia thinks people should see it as a way to hold themselves accountable.
"The number on the scale is just a number," Mazzia said. "It's just like getting your oil changed on your car so it stays a fine-tuned, well-oiled machine. It's a way to keep yourself in check and see if you need to make changes."
While being the biggest loser might get you the grand prize, the truth is that "rapid weight loss does not result in long-term success," Mazzia said.
When it comes to weight loss, it's best to think like the tortoise rather than the hare.
"Small changes are going to result in smaller amounts of weight loss, and that's not a bad thing," Mazzia said. "As long as you're moving in the right direction, whether it's half a pound or two pounds, celebrate the success that you're having."

VALLEY SPRINGS - Calaveras County sheriff's investigators Thursday night said their hopes for creating a composite sketch of the person suspected of killing 8-year-old Leila Fowler were frustrated when a key witness recanted her statement.
The Sheriff's Office statement, released after 6 p.m. Thursday, said initially both Leila's 12-year-old brother and a neighbor said they saw an intruder fleeing from the Rippon Road home where the girl was attacked Saturday.
Investigators said the female neighbor and the brother gave conflicting statements, however, about the direction the intruder was running.
During a meeting with a sketch artist, the neighbor recanted her statement and her identification of the man she saw running. She refused to provide a description for the sketch artist.
Investigators say they now consider that witness no longer credible.
"Though this may seem like a setback in the investigation, it is actually a positive result in that it allows the investigators to narrow the scope of their investigation," Sgt. Chris Hewitt said.
Also Thursday, the Sheriff's Office reported that investigators have received about 300 tips so far in the case.
Detectives reported that though they had taken DNA samples from a man arrested in an attempted child abduction in Placerville, they have determined it is unlikely there is any connection between the two crimes.
The Sheriff's Office said its investigators have continued to gather evidence at the Fowler home and that the FBI is assisting with the investigation.
A memorial fund for Leila has been established at F & M Bank, 18836 E. Main St. in Linden. The account number is 421934101.
A carwash fundraiser to assist Leila Fowler's family with burial costs will be at 10 a.m. Sunday at Blondies Salon, 3410 E. Main St., Stockton.

Old English wafian (verb), from the Germanic base of waver; the noun by alteration (influenced by the verb) of Middle English wawe '(sea) wave'.
wobble from mid 17th century:
A German word first used in English in the mid 17th century. Wobble is related to wave (Old English) and waver (Middle English) which come from Old Norse, and until the mid 19th century was generally spelled wabble. To throw a wobbly is to have a fit of temper or panic. This is a recent expression recorded only from the 1960s, first of all in New Zealand, although throw a wobbler appears in the 1930s, in a US dictionary of underworld and prison slang. Wave did not come to be used for hair until the mid 19th century and the expression to make waves dates only from the 1960s. Mexican wave describing a wavelike effect when spectators stand, raise their arms, and sit again in successive crowd sections, originated at the World Cup football competition held in Mexico City in 1986.

Vaguely Interesting Round-up | 14 April – 20 April 2012
- The Economist's Bagehot column this week considers whether Britain could become a Cutty Sark Nation – free wheeling, independent and nimble? Interesting point that most nations preserve great war ships whilst the most visited ship in Britain is a former tea clipper (of course we have plenty of great navy flagships preserved for posterity as well).
- Diamond Geezer has a wander around the Olympic site in Stratford and explains why you had better visit soon if you want to have a close look. He sets out all of the areas that will be shut down in a ring of steel within the coming months.
- Celebrating Quasimodo Sunday with the Inky Fool, as he considers the origin of this quirkily named church festival and the source of the most famous bearer of the name, the Hunchback of Notre-Dame.
- Sobering reading from the Economist's Graphic Detail blog which charts the amount of 'lost time' the advanced economies have suffered in the deepest and most prolonged recession of the last hundred years. Britain comes off fairly lightly – losing the equivalent of 5.5 years and the equivalent of $4,774 in GDP per person. Ireland has been sent back over 11 years with an eye-watering GDP per person impact of $11,857.
- Meanwhile, as China continues to grow and invest in increasingly outlandish property projects (did anyone say bubble?), plans emerge for an astonishing hotel near Shanghai – China's first 'groundscraper'.
- New lifts for the Greenwich Foot Tunnel – shiny, steel and glass. But are they an improvement? And will anyone else join IanVisits in missing the bored, solitary lift operator?

Notification system for OS X apps.
Growl is a notification system that allows any application to send it a notification, and then it displays it. You can (for example) be notified that you have new email, or that a download completed, etc.
Support for Applescript, Perl, Python, TCL, Cocoa, Carbon, Ruby and more being added.
Required OS: 10.7
Tags: notifications , adium , system , preference , pane

Looks gorgeous with the iPhonesque theme.
(Found via John Gruber's DaringFireball)
Just got Growl along with Shimo, but now I can't get the extras b/c the growl.info site is down -- apparently it's been down a lot the last month or so :(
Note: example scripts are in the version .7.6 dmg, but not in the 1.1.2 dmg.
These scripts can be useful to monitor a folder, have a notification from Salling Clicker, etc.
The dog's boll*cks, the bee's knees, the cream of the crop. So useful it's hardly imaginable to live without. I love it. This + growlcamino = perfection.
The Growl project has hosting issues at the moment.
All links to Growl are returning 404's?
Love it, but I need real Mail.app support - and not just a hack that works for some and not for others. One of the main draws for this application for me was mail notification, and without it, I just don't get the main function from Growl that I need.
Here's to hoping that it gets working soon.
Oh - and it doesn't help that the site is down. ___
Couldn't live without it. I have nearly every add-on imaginable for my programs. Now if only somebody would make an OmniWeb Growl plugin...
Simply fantastic, allows me to continue working and monitor my conversations with just a glance. Fine product, only needs to have access to more applications.
Extras improvements
* GrowlMail fix: In Summary mode, post one notification (per account) after all messages come in
Preference pane improvements
* About tab layout improvements (English only)
* Standardized layout for all built-in display preferences (English only)
* Sounds menu now reads from /Library/Sounds and ~/Library/Sounds
* Default is now the first entry in any popup it appears in
* Fix notifications to default to menu bar's screen if the desired screen isn't available
* Separators appear between distinct groups in popups
* Update German translation
* Fix broken iCal prefs in certain localizations
Installer improvements
* Fix System Preferences not quitting on non-English systems
* Fix background image transparency
* Fix GrowlMail installer to note and enforce Mail not running

"PBS is not where you go for breaking news," PBS chief Paula Kerger told TV critics in announcing the project, which will debut Feb. 18. "Where we can add to the conversation is to step back . . . and say: 'OK, where are the big issues and where does this take us?' "
The week of "Newtown" programs will look at violence in the media, gun laws, mental illness, school security and other topics connected to the killing of 20 schoolchildren and several adults in Newtown, Conn.
The programming will span the PBS franchises "PBS NewsHour," "Frontline," "Washington Week With Gwen Ifill" and "Nova.
In moments of tragedy, "there's lot of fascination with the event itself," Kerger told critics.
"Frontline," in collaboration with the Hartford Courant, will profile Adam Lanza and his relationship with his mother, who was among those he killed in Newtown. "Raising Adam Lanza" will look at the young man who killed students and adults on Dec. 14 before committing suicide -- leaving his motives, and life, largely a mystery.
"Frontline" also will report on the battle over America's gun laws and gun culture.
"Nova" will air "Mind of a Rampage Killer," which will ask what makes a person open fire in a theater, church or classroom, and whether science can provide clues to prevention.
Kerger's announcement, on the penultimate day of Winter TV Press Tour 2013, punctuates two weeks of discussion with industry execs about TV's responsibility in its depiction of violence.
"It certainly fits into the way we think about what's in front of kids," said Kerger, adding: "The kind of programming you're talking about has not found its home on public television."
Her announcement came the day before Vice President Joe Biden is scheduled to make recommendations to President Barack Obama, based on the findings of the task force on guns laws that Biden was appointed to head in the wake of the Newtown tragedy.

Description Downton Abbey-a sprawling, lavish Edwardian mansion nestled in the Yorkshire landscape-needs an heir. Dame Maggie Smith stars as Violet, the stubborn Dowager Countess of Grantham, matriarch of Downton. Hugh Bonneville stars as her son, the stoic, unflappable Lord Crawley; Elizabeth McGovern is his far-sighted American wife, Cora. From Academy Award -winner Julian Fellowes (Gosford Park). A star-studded cast (Dame Maggie Smith, Hugh Bonneville, Elizabeth McGovern, Brendan Coyle, Dan Stevens) round out the glittering, gossipy, and beguiling men and women of this epic tale! After a tragedy at sea claims the life of the presumed heir, Lord Crawley is faced with the possibility that the house he's loved his whole life might someday belong to a distant cousin he's never met. But before that can happen he must deal with his scandalous daughter, Lady Mary - considered by many to be the rightful heir to Downton. Even the staff has opinions on the family's affairs. And while most are devoted to the Crawleys, there are others whose selfishness and scheming do more than simply disrupt the well-oiled inner workings of the estate. As the servants' mischief escalates, even the most faithful employees begin to imagine a different life. Pitting hundreds of years of British aristocracy against the tides of social upheaval and technical progress, under the looming shadow of World War I, will the fate of Downton and its family - above and below stairs - be resolved? Or will life be altered so dramatically that its master no longer matters? New episodes of Downton Abbey will return in Winter 2012 Bonus Features include - Making of Downton Abbey - A House in History Also includes Great British Heritage Pass, a promotional spot for British tourism This DVD is the original and unedited UK version This DVD features subtitles in English (SDH) Thi.

TAHOE CITY, Calif. - Placer County will hold another in a series of community workshops on the Tahoe Basin Community Plan Wednesday, Nov. 28, at Granlibakken in Tahoe City from 4-8 p.m.Placer County currently has nine community plans for the Tahoe Basin. Most are joint planning documents developed 20 years ago by the county and the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency.During the update process, Placer County has consolidated the nine plans into a single policy document with four planning areas. A team composed of community members is working on issues germane to each area. Each planning area will have its own distinct zoning ordinance and community-specific design guidelines. The four planning areas are:• North Tahoe East, which covers Kings Beach and the Stateline community; • Greater Tahoe City, which includes Tahoe City, Tahoe City Gateway, Lake Forest, and Dollar Hill; • North Tahoe West, which includes Carnelian Bay and Tahoe Vista; and • The West Shore, which includes Sunnyside, Homewood and Tahoma.TRPA is in the process of updating its regional plan, and the County's Tahoe Basin Community Plan must be consistent with the regional plan. Attending the November meeting will be the community design consultants, Dyett & Bahtia, who will work with each team. The consultant has put together draft zoning district standards for each team. These standards are reflective of the work that the teams have done to date.The draft zoning district standards, agendas and presentations for the Nov. 28 meeting are also be available at the following website: www.placer.ca.gov/Departments/CommunityDevelopment/Planning/TahoePlanning/TahoeBasinCPUpdate.aspx

Monday November 15, 2010
North Augusta, SC--Football teams want to peak in the month of November. Some do and last a while in the playoffs, others don't and are shown the door early on. For North Augusta, they are hitting their stride at the right time.
The Yellow Jackets played probably their most complete game to date in beating Richland Northeast in the first round of the playoffs. The offense scored 35 points in the first half while the defense did its job allowing just two scores. Now the object is to duplicate the output in round two of the state playoffs.
"I think we still have a ways to go" said senior DeMarcus Rouse "We did good in the first half but I think we can do better. Just by executing more. We had some dropped passes, we had some busted runs, I think we can build on that and be better as a team."
"It's just been hard some games to get up in the regular season because I think our kids know that they were good." said Dan Pippen "They know they can kind of turn it on and do well when they need to and now Friday, they turned it on the moment they hit the field."
Unlike a year ago when the jackets had to go on the road for round two, they get another home game, this time with TL Hanna friday night.

Samsung Xpress M2020W
The Samsung SL-M2020W is the best laser printer you can buy in the ultrabudget price range.
HP Officejet 100 Mobile Printer
The HP Officejet 100 Mobile Printer is a useful accessory for working on the road. The convenience comes at a premium, but its quick prints, wireless access, and rechargeable battery make it worth the cost.
HP Deskjet D2660 Printer
HP's basic Deskjet D2660 inkjet has a fold-up paper tray and a unique paper corral that make it easy to store away. We noticed several flaws in the output quality, but if you don't expect too much in terms of photo output, this $50 inkjet will make an excellent at-home printer for intermittent use.
Lexmark Z2420
With so many other inexpensive photo inkjets on the market today, we can't recommend the Lexmark z2420--it's prone to paper jams, prints at a snail's pace, and produces unacceptable quality prints.
HP Officejet H470 Mobile Printer
HP markets the Officejet H470wbt to the mobile business professional, but it chose aesthetics over performance. The sleek design and cost-effective cartridges give its rating a slight boost, but the degradation of print quality from the previous model is definitely a deal breaker.
Samsung ML-1630
The Samsung ML-1630 can't claim to be the best value among $200 mono laser printers--the competition offers faster print speeds and more features--but the ML-1630's aesthetic appeal is undeniable.
Visit manufacturer site for details.
HP Deskjet 460cb Mobile
The HP Deskjet 460c printer is a boon if you're constantly on the go and absolutely need to be able to print from wherever you are. The option of Wi-Fi printing gives it a slight edge over the competition.
HP Deskjet D4260
The HP Deskjet D4260 is a good choice for home users looking for a basic printer that's good enough for projects like school reports, but that won't break the bank.
Dell 1320c Color Laser Printer
The Dell 1320c is a decent choice for a small office or work group, but a little more cash will net you a faster printer with better print quality.
HP LaserJet 1020
The HP LaserJet 1020 is a good deal for home users who have light print needs, but just a little bit more money can get you more features and better print quality.

The base of the story is that you awaken in an apartment with no memories, a splitting headache and an empty stomach. The rest of the backstory will be revealed as you play. (providing you guys don't get killed / go insane! ) The idea is simple, I'll post several pictures with some description inbetween then four choices and you just have to pick which action you'd like for this turn. The first action to get to an odd result above the others each day is the choice made. The skills the character has will be decided in the prologue.

Vermont 100 Report--even later than Phred!
I drove up to VT this year with fear in my heart, remembering the collosal struggle of last years finish. I felt that I had trained more intensely this year, and had learned alot of lessons about what can go wrong during a hundred, and how to steer clear of those problems, so I oughtta be able to relax. But I couldn't!
Karen (my fiance') and I got to Silver Hill at 3:00 Friday afternoon, and after I checked in with a wieght of 171 and high blood pressure (from nerves), we headed over to where Joe Brown had set up the tent. We relaxed from the drive, and then headed down to the meeting and dinner. It was good to see so many familiar faces and catch up with a few friends. After dinner, Karen went to a motel with my mom and step-dad, and Joe and I went back to the tent to settle in. I saw Sherpa John and his crew and we chatted a bit, and then, after laying out my stuff for morning, I crashed out at about 9:00.
For a guy who was so nerved up, I slept like a rock, right through the alarm at 2:30! Luckily Joe heard the alarm, and got my lazy arse up. I threw down an Ensure, an oatmeal bar, acup of strong coffe, and a quart of Gatorade for breakfast. Then I hit the porta-john ahead of the throngs, and went back to get dressed for the day. I was going to be using Hammer Perpetuem as my primary source of fuel, so I fixed up a bottle, and filled some zip-locks with the powder to last until the first crew point. We put some stuff by the car for our crews to pick up, and headed to the start.
I saw a few friends and we wished one another Godspeed, and at 4:00, we were off for the adventure. It was good to be moving through the perfectly cool pre-dawn air. I fought the urge to run fast in the cool weather, and stuck to my "slow-but-steady" strategy from the get-go. Joe and I ran together, joking and laughing, and setting a light hearted mood that would last all the way to the finish.
We were tooling along at a steady 12 min. pace and feeling great. The weather was perfect, and the fingers were crossed. So far my sub-24 main goal felt totally doable. Hmmm... 20 hrs? "Don't get crazy, just stay cool and be smart", I tell myself.
Saw the crew at Pretty House, grabbed a fresh supply of Perpetuem, threw down half a pbj, and moved out quickly. By now, Joe and I had fallen in with a core group of runners that I'd be near all day including Barry Hopkins, and Cory Johnson. We all had twisted senses of humor, so it made for a good group. We had fun threatening one another, and busting eachothers chops (hence the "fight scene" picture on the Spectrum Photography site). Going into Ten Bear at 47, all systems were go, but I had what felt like hot spots on the pads of both feet, so, much as I hated losing the time, I wis
ely decided the see the podiatrist.
I weighed in a pound up (172) and went to the foot guy, who told me it wasn't hot spots, but metetarsal something or other. I iced my feet while I ate some roast beef, then grabbed my renewed supplies and got the hell out of dodge. By now, Joe Brown was 15 minutes gone, and although I tried for awhile, I'd not see him again until the finish. I did catch back up to Barry and Cory again in the loop back to Ten Bear, and the joking continued. I had a bad patch between Tracer Brook and Mrgueritaville, but still managed to cover the stretch in an hour. On I pressed, pushing my way back to Ten Bear.
I rolled back into Ten Bear at 7:00, and weighed in at 171, then rushed to the crew for a change of socks. I threw down a bannanna, a pbj, and restocked the Perpetuem. Jimmy (a.k.a. LocalNovelty), my pacer and I rolled out at 7:08 p.m., into the final 30. I was feeling strong and confident, and told Jimmy I was moving well, but wasn't looking to push any harder yet. My biggest problem was that my quad's were on the verge of melt-down, and had been since Tracer Brook, but they weren't getting worse, and I was still able to run the downs, though not as quickly as I wanted to.
Just after West Winds, it got dark, and we turned on our flashlights and kept moving well. I felt good about getting a large chunk of the trail stuff done before dark, because it's tough to move quick on the trails at night when you've got almost 80 miles in your legs and brain. This was where my melt-down began last year, and oh what a melt-down it was! I don't even remember much of the last 20 and am still amazed I was able to push through for the finish. This year, although exausted, too be sure, I felt as tough as nails, and there would be no melt-down.
As always happens with me, everything was tasing like total sh*t, but I kept up with the Perpetuem anyhow, and chugged a hot soup every chance I got. We rolled into Bill's at 11:50. It felt good to know that 24 was in the bag. I weighed in at 167 and joked with the nurse that the lost weight should help my speed over the next section. I sat down for a minute to take in some soup, then headed out to do it.
We soon hooked up with Marianna Inslec, who was super strong in her first 100, doing it all solo with no crew or pacer. She was also well-humored, and we had a few good laughs. Running through that section of VT at night is magical, especially when you're way high from the effort of the day. We heard two packs of coyote's calling back and forth from opposite sides of the valley, and it was good. We reached Polly's around 1:50, and Jimmy said we could push and break 23, but I couldn't have cared less. I just wanted to savor the last bit.
When we finally reached the last section of trail, and see the glowing jugs, we stopped for a minute through the silent woods, could hear the finish line. I took a deep breath. I soaked in the peace and satisfaction, and let that one moment imprint it'self in my mind. Then we ran in, and I crossed the line in 23:09, an hour and a half faster than last year!
It was great to get up and come down to watch the later finishers, and I got teary eyed every time I saw someone come in. What an awesome accomplishment, and what a great bunch of people. I was ravenous at the barbeque, and ate as such! It was great to get my hands on that buckle (although the plaques are nicer!), and to see everyone else get thiers. For me the most inspiring moment of the weekend was seeing the final finisher come in (past the cut-off) to a well deserved standing ovation.
The weather was perfect. My crew (mom, Bob, Karen, Jimmy) were spot on. Jimmy did great pacing me. Karen did great pacing Joe (to a 22:27:27!!!). I shall return!
After a week of eating anything and everything, I ran the infamous Escarpment Trail Run in the Catskill's yesterday. Damned tough single track 30k with 10,000 ft. of climb. I'd recommend it to anyone. I was surprised how good my legs felt, and that I pulled off a 4:25. Now that the VT/Escarpment double is done, I think I'll take it easy for a bit!
Congrat's all of you other VT and Escarpment runners!

I have maybe 1/2 dozen films in my collection that refuse to play.
The files play perfectly fine in windows (both in wmp and vlc) but whenever I play them via PMS they don't work.
The thumbnailer makes thumbnails for the files, I have also re-ripped and re-downloaded the files numerous times yet they refuse to play.
Is there some setting way I can check the validity to see if there is something wrong with them or some magic option I can turn on in PMS to make them work?

Yes, we are undoubtedly experiencing a time of extreme political division in this great nation of ours. But that's nothing compared to how severely we are split musically.Check out the blizzard of end of year lists, and the consensus is that there is little consensus at all. While there are a handful of albums that get repeated mentions, the fact is we are all living between our own private earbuds, getting off on our own different slices of the musical spectrum. (If there is one thing we might all agree on, it is that Rolling Stone is hopelessly out of touch as a tastemaker, having tabbed Bruce Springsteen's middling "Wrecking Ball" as the No. 1 album of 2012.)Bully for that, I say. Whatever monumental changes have hit the recording business over the years, they haven't decimated the creative spirit. On the contrary, the output of music is enormous, the diversity is endless, the spirit of experimentation is thriving. My desk is piled high with CDs, my inbox overflowing with downloads. And in my car, my teenage daughter commandeers the radio, putting on "her station," and exposing me to a separate musical realm I would not have ventured into. The experience has not been unenjoyable.Here's how 2012 sounded to me, a baker's dozen of my favorites. I invite further suggestions.Frank Ocean, "Channel Orange"We can finally stop waiting for D'Angelo to give us a worthy follow-up to 2000's "Voodoo." Instead of the next D'Angelo album, we get the first album from 25-year-old singer Frank Ocean, a member of the California hip-hop collective Odd Future. "Channel Orange" exists in the same neo-soul realm as "Voodoo" - easy on the ears, but also edgy and out-there. Like D'Angelo, Ocean has a once-a-decade seductiveness to his voice. But where D'Angelo stayed more or less entirely in bedroom mode, Ocean ventures out into the world, exploring class, gender and spirituality, and mixing a wide vocabulary of sounds, from psychedelic rock to electro-funk into his groove. Let's hope the parallel with D'Angelo ends with the neo-soul genre; I don't want to wait a decade for Ocean's next pronouncement.Grizzly Bear, "Shields"To my ears, this is the sound of rock music in 2012. "Shields," the fourth album by the Brooklyn quartet Grizzly Bear, unquestionably pushes the boundaries in sound and song structure; you really don't know what's around the bend - a freak-folk break, a bluesy guitar hook, crunchy chords. And then they'll throw in a catchy, tuneful segment that brings you back to something familiar and lovely.Widespread Panic, "Wood"After making some of the best studio albums to come out of jam-band world, then seemingly giving up on the idea of the studio as a creative outlet with a string of ho-hum efforts, Widespread Panic goes into live-album mode and delivers a beauty. "Wood" documents the Georgia sextet's first true acoustic tour, and they use the opportunity for some serious reinvention. The two-disc set brings out new sides of Panic - most notably, the acoustic picking of guitarist Jimmy Herring and the wizardry of keyboardist Jojo Hermann - as they reinterpret old favorites and break out a few new covers, including John Lennon's "The Ballad of John and Yoko." Bonus for local listeners: four tracks from "Wood" were recorded at Belly Up Aspen.Father John Misty, "Fear Fun"Josh Tillman, aka Father John Misty, downplays his involvement in Seattle superstar band Fleet Foxes, in which Tillman contributed some parts to the later albums and toured as their drummer. "Fear Fun" should do plenty to establish an identity of his own. The first album released under the Father John Misty, "Fear Fun" is sweet and dark and poetic, with shades of old rock 'n' roll, but even more of the sense of urgency to plunge into the unknown future.Father John Misty makes his Aspen debut Friday, Jan. 4, at Belly Up.David Byrne & St. Vincent, "Love This Giant"Two offbeat artists manage to merge their talents seamlessly in this crisp, funky, original concoction. The sounds - especially the horn section, the foundation here, used in such a unique way - are so ear-turning that you can miss the statement about the environment that "Love This Giant" is making.Tift Merritt, "Traveling Alone"A lot of people heard the greatness of Joni and Emmylou in the early work of North Carolina-bred singer-songwriter Tift Merritt. I failed to hear that until "Traveling Alone," Merritt's fifth album. Producer Tucker Martine (the Decemberists, My Morning Jacket) brings in players like guitarist Marc Ribot and violinist Rob Moose to provide an avant backdrop. But the star is Merritt's evocative, country-folk voice (yes, shades of Emmylou) and superb songs.Leonard Cohen, "Old Ideas"On his first studio album in eight years, the 78-year-old Cohen meditates on mortality and death. He seems to know something about the subject the rest of us do not; Cohen appears to have a direct pipeline to God. His spare poetry, fragile voice and minimalist production strip away all that is extraneous, leaving only the holy. But left intact, in songs like "Show Me the Place" and the sexy "Different Sides," is an abundant sense of humor and playfulness.Bob Dylan, "Tempest"If "Duquesne Whistle" doesn't put a smile on your face ... well, your problem. Dylan's smile, as he slips into a Louis Armstrong-esque croak, is enormous. The song is about nothing other than Dylan himself - at 71, on his 35th studio album, Dylan retains the force of a train: "I wonder if that old oak tree's still standing/ That old oak tree, the one we used to climb." Oh yeah, still standing tall and mighty, and not just in this chugging, joyous rocker. Dylan can access the dark ("Pay in Blood"), the tender ("Roll on John," an homage to John Lennon), and the epic, with the 14-minute, 45-verse (!!) title track about the Titanic.Beach House, "Bloom"On their fourth album, the Maryland-based duo of instrumentalist Alex Scally and French-born singer Victoria Legrand reminds me of the '80s - but leaving out all the dreadful parts, and saving just the best of the synthesizers, the showiness, the unapologetic melodicism. Legrand's voice is dreamy, or what you'd hope to hear in your dreams.Glen Hansard, "Rhythm and Repose"Having done the rock band (the Frames), the folky duo (Swell Season) and taking a quick break to become a movie star (2006's "Once), Irishman Glen Hansard, at 42, got around to the solo thing. "Rhythm and Repose" captures all the passion that Hansard put into his previous projects. Some of the songs here are great (the ambivalent "Maybe Not Tonight," "The Storm, It's Coming") and some are merely good, but you're never left with a doubt about Hansard's desire to make you see and feel something.Punch Brothers, "Who's Feeling Young Now?"Mandolinist Chris Thile and company take yet another big step into the future of the string quintet. Bill Monroe and bluegrass, and even progressive acoustic groups of the past like New Grass Revival, fade to the background as Punch Brothers look to Radiohead, and modern songwriters like Josh Ritter, as primary influences. There is a Radiohead cover ("Kid A"), but more telling is the opening track, the original "Movement and Location," which is promisingly Radiohead-esque. Yes, humor, virtuosity, emotion, irony and artistic vision can coalesce.Alabama Shakes, "Boys & Girls"Resurrecting old soul, as so many singers have done of late, can seem like a fairly easy thing to do, and my first reaction to this debut album by Alabama Shakes was, "Too easy." But on numerous listens since then, what emerged was the way the band was shaking up the soul genre, with just enough thrashing and pounding. And really, can you hold it against singer Brittany Howard that her voice is too easy to like? "Boys & Girls" is very good; I expect Alabama Shakes to produce something truly great their next time out.Donald Fagen, "Sunken Condos"Between Steely Dan and solo projects, singer-keyboardist Donald Fagen has released six albums in the past 22 years. Which might be a paucity, but in Fagen's case it seems just right. It leaves just enough time that when we do get something new from Fagen, we are reminded of how singular a niche of the pop-jazz-rock-fusion spectrum he has invented. "Sunken Condos" is Fagen in full - the studio as a device to achieve sonic perfection. It might be too much cool precision if we were exposed, say, every two years. But Fagen's last album was 2006's "Morph the Cat," and after a six-year gap, "Sunken Condos" sounds ... well, perfect.

SANTA CLARA -- A week after visiting the 49ers, defensive back Charles Woodson remains unsigned, and he's surprised by his ongoing free agency.
"I thought it would be a little more interest," Woodson told NFL Network on Wednesday. "I think, looking back, this is my second time in free agency and I've kind of been shunned both times. So I guess this time around, I'm a little more patient with it and just waiting around to see what happens.
"I don't take it personal. I understand how the game goes, I've seen it for 15 years now, and I've seen how it works. Just got to have a little patience."
Woodson, a 15-year veteran, isn't the only defensive back who's visited the 49ers and remains on the market. The same holds true with cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha, who spent the weekend with the New Orleans Saints after a Thursday sitdown with the 49ers.
Woodson wasn't on the NFL Network to talk about his future, but rather Wednesday's elimination of the "Tuck Rule," which negated his fumble-forcing sack of Tom Brady for the 2001 Raiders in the playoffs.
"Hallelujah," Woodson said, laughing. "It shouldn't have taken this long. It's been 11 years I guess now. It's about time that they turned it over. It really was just a badly explained rule from the jump, and it didn't make a whole lot of sense the way the rule was interpreted."

Knitter's Review
November 7, 2013
Many moons ago, Skacel sent a box of circular needles for the Knitter's Review Retreat goody bags. They were prototypes, explained Karin Skacel, featuring the traditional Turbo nickel-plated finish but with the pointy lace tip, at that time only available in bronze.
How we coveted them. For me, they've remained the best thing that ever happened to circular needles, perhaps partly because I knew they were one-offs that could never be repeated.
But this year Skacel launched a new product called the Addi Turbo Rockets. When I opened the box, I made the connection. Behold, the best thing that ever happened to circular needles, now available to the general public.

Besides the 9'er on the Cornell College campus there is a new 9'er at Nature Park called Quarry Ridge DGC
It was a great place for Kerri to practice all kinds of shots but its super short. There were a lot of different wooded type holes, and overall was fun, but again, super super short.
There is one spot that has 3 baskets within a 50 ft. radius of each other.
