Looks like I was spared from whatever is happening to some people. Wish **** like this never happened to anyone.
LOL, do they even test this stuff? hey Ubi, its called QUALITY CONTROL. It s this management department that tests the new stuff out so it doesnt ruin your customers experience.
I'm starting to regret even paying an extra $30 just to possibly get my save data erased. Oh well, here goes....
For what its worth, please see the chain over here: http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f...=1#post5442478
Some folks there are reporting that if you keep playing while it downloads in the background, you will run into problems. HOWEVER, if you start the download, and then exit to the dashboard until the download is done, then you'll be okay.
There is also some debate there over whether or not having any of the pre-order missions has an impact. So far everyone involved has one form of pre-order or another.
I do not have any of the pre-order missions, but I have not tried downloading this yet. So, I CANNOT confirm anything reported. Please read the posts in that forum for more detailed info.
Am I the only one who has had the exact opposite happen? Main mission data still intact, but ALL of side missions have reset. Underground Fast Travel Spots: Gone. Homestead Missions: Gone. Hunting Society, Frontiersmen, View Points, Liberation, etc: All GONE/RESET.
I would almost prefer it to be main mission data loss, because this is going to require LOTS of running around doing tedious crap!
I was playing the game while DLC downloaded, and it happened right in the middle of the game. One second everything was fine, the next second I leave the homestead and EVERYTHING was back on my maps as if I had never done a thing. Annoying doesn't begin to cover it.
Same thing happened to me. I was playing while the DLC was downloading in the background, when suddenly it went to the opening sequence of the game and all my story quest DNA was reset. All side missions seem to be intact though.
Just a quick heads up, we're able to reproduce this issue at the studio and are working on a fix/workaround.
From what we can tell, this problem seems to be rare and should generally only affect a very small number of players. That said, we're taking the speedy and complete resolution of this very seriously.
AVOIDING THIS BUG: Do not load your saved AC3 game while the DLC is downloading in the background. This appears to be the key trigger for this bug. You can do anything else you want to do, just don't load up your saved game and play it while the DLC is downloading.

This exceptional piece was probably a private commission, perhaps through the intermediary of a major marchand-mercier [decorative arts dealer operating outside the guild system] such as Lazare Duvaux, who sold a monkey orchestra to Madame de Pompadour in December 1753.
The contrast between gilded bronze and polychrome porcelain came into vogue in clockmaking during the 1730s.
Jean Moisy (1714-1782), the creator of the clock mechanism, became a master craftsman in Paris in 1753, at the age of 39. He systematically numbered all the movements leaving his workshop and this one bears the number 558.
Porcelain of different origins is juxtaposed on the same piece, such as the soft-paste Vincennes porcelain flowers and German hard-paste porcelain figures. At Vincennes, the taste for natural-looking flowers reached its peak in 1751. The exotic monkey theme was initially designed to decorate interior panelling.
The first porcelain monkey orchestras may have appeared in Mennecy in France post 1740, but they reached the peak of refinement in Germany. In Meissen in Saxony, the master modeller Johann-Joachim Kändler (1709-1775) set the standard shortly before 1750 with the charming design used here which he revisited and modified circa 1765 with the help of his collaborator Peter Reinicke (1715-1768).

It is also a remake of a 1946 movie, "The Beast With Five Fingers," and is based on Marc Brandell's novel, A Lizard's Tail. Michael Caine stars as Jonathan Lansdale, a comic strip artist who loses his hand in an accident. The severed hand begins to stalk Jonathan and kill the people around him.

Something we can all think about the next time we see a homeless person on the streets, one in every four homeless people in El Paso County once served our county in uniform. Now there are an increasing number of veterans from the on-going wars in Iraq and Afghanistan who come home, leave the military, and wind up with nothing.
Those who work closely with these veterans say there are several reasons why they end up on the streets. It has to do with the economy, the lack of jobs out there, but more importantly one in three veterans suffers from some sort of mental disorder and many get mis-diagnosed or don't get help soon enough.
It's hard for Matthew McLaughlin to even talk about the two years he spent in the warzone.
"I'm on medication for PTSD and for depression," McLaughlin said.
In those days he was known as Sgt. McLaughlin, stationed out of Fort Lewis, Washington, he did two 12-month tours to Iraq before being medically discharged in May of 2007.
"I had an injury that caused nerve damage in my right foot," McLaughlin said.
He says the transition out of the military was sudden and shocking.
"I was going from Sgt. McLaughlin to just plain old Matt," he said.
Confused about what to do with his life, he moved to Pueblo and that's when he says things started to fall apart.
"I had a relationship in Pueblo, it went sour and I reverted back to alcoholism," McLaughlin said.
Soon he says his girlfriend kicked him out and with no job and no place to go he took to the streets.
"For 5 months I was living out of my car," he said.
He says he was drinking so much, he barely even remembers how he got through each day.
"Alcohol induced, I don't remember too much about that time. The nights I do remember were plagued by PTSD nightmares," McLaughlin said.
He eventually heard about the Crawford House, a homeless shelter in Colorado Springs for veterans. McLaughlin moved in, in August, determined to turn his life around and he says he finally asked for help for his PTSD, something he was afraid to do before.
"I was afraid that my unit would look down on me. Now I'm getting the help I need but I had to swallow a huge lump of pride first," McLaughlin said.
Government officials say post traumatic stress disorder is one of the leading causes of homelessness among veterans and many more Iraq and Afghanistan veterans suffer from PTSD than veterans of previous wars.
"These guys have seen war two and three times and it's traumatized them to where they don't even want to talk about it," said Vicky Pettis, Program Director at the Crawford House.
She has dedicated her life to helping veterans like McLaughlin get the help they need.
"If they are hurting or are not capable of finding a job, they aren't going to work, they aren't able to work," Pettis said.
"Don't wait till your a vet, the moment you come back there are services available," McLaughlin said.
Services that he says saved his life and got him off the streets.
Since we interviewed McLaughlin he's moved out of the Crawford House and just last week he moved to Tennessee to start a new life there.
As for the Crawford House, they are trying to help as many veterans as possible but they still have a waiting list.

I'm 56 and in the middle of training for my first marathon. My hip flexors begin to bother me around mile 8 and from there on they get really sore. Without some help I'm not sure how far I can go with the pain and soreness I get while running. What is the best strength training I can do to help with this?
I think stretching is a big help, for me anyway. I've used a bungy rope thingy around my ankle and extended my leg away from my body sideways. I hope this makes sense. I had hip flexors and ITB issues as well. If IIRC, the ITB connects up around that area too even though the symptom for that is usually around the knee. Good luck.
Do not automatically assume that hip pain should be treated with stretching exercises. Take a look at short aritcle Hip Pain and Stretching Exercises, and Should you stretch it out. It could be that your hip flexor muscles are weak. However, if the pain is related to running, another possiblity is that the increased stress could be related to the manner in which you run. Take a look at How do you feel about your running form. If you have a relatively long stride length particularly if the long stride is a result of relatively too much hip extension, this could lead to increased hip pain. Both the Pose method, and Chi Running suggest that rather than push off that you consider lifting your heel off the ground, and this action results in less hip extension and a relatively shorter stride length. A slow motion video analysis could help determine if your stide length is too long.
Damien Howell PT, DPT, OCS - www.damienhowellpthttp://www.damienhowellpt.co.com
how does a person strengthen hip flexors and the inside muscles of their legs
i do several exercises but still have trouble
1 exercise one leg bird drink? 15-20 reps per leg
1 exercise beligum squat 10-16 reps per leg
1 exercise stand on platform raise one leg and do a slight squat 12-18 reps per leg
I couldn't find examples of these exercises on the internet. Can you provide links?
I agree with Damien, and think you may be barking up the wrong tree by trying to gear up for increaed hip flexion, especially during an event that is all about motion economy.
I also want to add that, as a guy a little older than yourself, even after running the marathon distance many, many times, I still get the bulk of my soreness in the middle of each year's marathon training schedule. The shock of getting used to increased mileage is always worst soon after you start going beyond the "normal" mileage most people run, which is probably what you are used to running as well.
Case in point, after I finished my 18 miler this summer I had to pry myself out of my car in a parking lot on the way home, I was cramping so bad. Some young guy actually got out of his car to assist the stiff-legged geezer I appeared to be at that moment, cramping on both sides of my legs at once. I told him I just ran 18 miles and he drove away, lol. But that's not the best part. I just ran 24 yesterday without a hitch, and was back to taking stairs two at a time this morning. Point is, you get used to it, but you can expect the growing process to be painful, especially when it's your first time.
Heed the caution about stretching right now, at least as we generally understand the term "stretching." A couple of gentle leg swings before, during, and after your exercise session may help loosen you up a little, but anything beyond that poses great risks, despite the potential benefits. It's true that your hip flexors will tighten through a process we call "adaptive shortening," but they do that according to one of those beautiful adaptations of nature, to limit your stride and the potential damage that goes along with it. Focus on keeping your legs under you and increasing your turnover. The legs will begin to unwind as the muscle get used to the workload. Once again some gentle range of motion like a leg swing can shake off some of that rust, but you need not further stress the tissue that is already overworked. Marathon lore is replete with stories of compact shufflers bypassing the athletic striders anyway, enroute to an overall win. Forget speed form; it's about endurance, and that will come with practice and continued adaptation. There are no shortcuts.
I wish you the best (even though you are in my age-group lol), and I'm sure you will gradually strengthen, simply by continuing to train, just like I did. Patience is key.
If you do come to the conclusion that you are in need of either strengthening or increased blood/oxygen supply to the hip flexors, try Kung Fu stances. These stances each have a right and a left stance, except for Horse Stance. Try to hold a minute a piece for each one, with no rest in between. That's what I do.
Taming the Tiger stance will work on your hip flexors, as well as Bow and Arrow Stance. These act as isometrics, making blood vessels in lower extremeties more efficient.

How to Felt:
Six Easy Steps
Step 1: Knit your garment. If this is your first felting project, stick to a pattern written specifically for a felted garment. This will eliminate the need to recalculate the pattern gauge to accommodate shrinkage.
Step 2: Place the garment in a washing machine with the hottest water your machine will allow. Set the water level on low. Add anywhere from 1/2 to 1 cup of detergent to the water, and set the machine on agitate for at least 15 minutes. (For more help on choosing a detergent, click here.)
Step 3: Check the garment frequently until it has felted to the desired size and thickness.
Step 4: Remove the garment from the washing machine and rinse in cold water.
Step 5: Block the item into the desired shape. If it is a hat, find a mixing bowl of a similar shape to use as a mould.
Step 6: Let dry in a cool, dark place away from strong sunlight. It may take a day or two to dry completely.
If after a few days you realize the garment hasn't felted enough, you can begin again at step 2 and repeat the process.

Google Inc. appears to be staging a return of sorts to Palo Alto, where the tech titan opened its first office in 1999.
A spokeswoman confirmed Tuesday that the Mountain View-based company has snapped up seven parcels on the 1000 block of East Meadow Circle, as well as a small plot of undeveloped land on nearby Fabian Way.
But the company was not prepared to reveal its ambitions for the real estate, which totals nearly 15 acres.
Palo Alto has some concrete ideas about what should be done. A concept plan developed in 2010 for the industrial area calls for high-end research and development as well as related office uses, said Aaron Aknin, acting director of the city's Planning and Community Environment Department.
Aknin said the concept plan is one of two that will be incorporated into an amendment to a larger document that guides development in the city -- the comprehensive plan. With an environmental impact report still left to do, the city is a year or so away from adopting the amendment.
Google bought all of the properties from the Menlo Park-based California Pacific Commercial Group for $60 million to $70 million in cash, according to The Registry, a Bay Area real estate media company. A woman who answered a number for the group declined to comment.
If Google plans to redevelop the parcels for its own use, it would spell a return of sorts to Palo Alto. After outgrowing its initial workspace in a Menlo Park garage, the company opened its first office at 165 University Ave. in Palo Alto in February 1999. But by August of that year, Google had relocated to Mountain View.
Aknin said Palo Alto has neither heard from Google nor seen any of its plans for the parcels.
Other city officials were mixed in their reaction to news of the search giant's big land buy Tuesday.
"We're delighted to have Google come back to Palo Alto and we look forward to working with them on whatever their project ends up being," said Thomas Fehrenbach, the city's economic development manager.
Mayor Greg Scharff wasn't exactly thrilled with the idea of Google returning to Palo Alto. To him, the concept plan was about creating space for fledgling companies, not well-established giants.
"I want us to be the breeding ground for the world's technology," Scharff said. "Google is a great company. But I think that startups and innovation is what Palo Alto is all about. We need to try and preserve that as much as we possibly can -- at least provide opportunities for those companies to exist in Palo Alto."
To that end, Scharff said he hopes Google would set aside some incubator space similar to what AOL Inc. has done with its office building at 395 Page Mill Road in Palo Alto.
News of the purchase follows Google's decision to delay for up to one year construction of a 1-million-square-foot campus at the NASA-Ames Research Center in Mountain View. City officials in Mountain View have said the company is working to refine the architectural design of the project.
The Bay View campus is expected to house 3,500 to 5,000 employees and is located just a short distance from the main headquarters complex of Google at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway.

OAKLAND -- It was difficult to tell which of the A's three late-game relievers was happiest after they combined to preserve Tuesday night's 2-0 Game 3 victory over the Detroit Tigers.
Ryan Cook, Sean Doolittle and Ryan Balfour all gave up runs in Oakland's 5-4 Game 2 loss to Detroit, but they were back on their high-velocity lockdown game in protecting Brett Anderson's scoreless six-inning start.
Cook, Doolittle and Balfour each pitched a scoreless inning. As a group, they surrendered just two singles, didn't allow a runner to get in scoring position, walked nobody, struck out five and capped the night with a game-ending double play.
"It doesn't take much to fire us up," said Cook. "But when Brett goes out there and pitches like that, we've got to have his back."
Manager Bob Melvin shuffled the order a bit, going with Cook first in the seventh inning and then Doolittle in the eighth before turning things over to closer Balfour.
Cook was the beneficiary of a diving Yoenis Cespedes catch on a sinking liner by Prince Fielder to start his inning. He then struck out Delmon Young, and after a two-out single by Jhonny Peralta, retired Andy Dirks on a lazy fly to left.
"I tipped my hat to him," said Cook of the Cespedes catch. "It saved me, it saved us."
Doolittle, meanwhile, was on the mound Sunday when Crisp's drop allowed two base runners to score. He left nothing to chance this time, striking out the side in the eighth.
"To walk off the mound with three strikeouts was huge," said Doolittle. "I wasn't really trying to get strikeouts. What you're just looking to do is get the first guy out, put a goose-egg up for the inning and keep the momentum in our dugout."
Balfour, who finished the regular season closing out 18 consecutive save chances, made it 19 straight by striking out Omar Infante to start to the ninth, surrendering a Miguel Cabrera opposite-field single but then getting Fielder to hit into a double play.
"We didn't get the job done the other day," said Balfour. "But we're back home, we feel comfortable here, and it's great pitching in front of these fans."
Smith maintained he had no explanation why he hits Sanchez so well.
"He got it to 2-2 and tried to throw a sinking fastball and left it over the plate," Smith said. "I got good wood on it, and fortunately it went out."
Now the A's rookie right-hander is trying to shrug off his past four starts as he prepares to pitch Game 4 on Wednesday night.
Griffin holds a 7.27 ERA over his past four starts, allowing 26 hits in just 171/3 inning over that span. That slide began Sept. 18 against the Tigers at Comerica Park, when he allowed three homers and five runs total over 42/3 innings.
Griffin, 24, said there's something to learn from that outing.
"I threw a lot of strikes and they were ready to swing, and sometimes I'm not careful enough," he said. "I'm just like, 'They're gonna put the ball in play and hit it at someone,' but they were hitting it over the fence.
"I gotta do a better job of throwing quality strikes. Like when I had (Miguel) Cabrera 1-2, and he hit a curve ball for a homer. It wasn't the wrong pitch to throw, it just caught too much of the plate."
"It's a pretty impressive arm," Melvin said. "I think the only question in Arizona was whether he was gonna be a closer-type or a starter. He probably could have been either."
Staff writer Joe Stiglich contributed to this report.

Man accused of rape, holding victim hostage
Published: Monday, January 7, 2013 at 7:01 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 7, 2013 at 7:01 p.m.
A 19-year-old is accused of holding a woman hostage all night in his Galliano bedroom, raping her until he let her leave for work.
The woman was visiting Jaydon Galliano, 19, the evening of Jan. 1 at his home at 260 W. 151st St., when he forced her into his bedroom around midnight, the Lafourche Sheriff's Office said. She told him she wanted to leave, and Galliano told her he had a gun in a drawer in the room and threatened to use it on her and her family. Then, Galliano forced the woman to have sex against her will.
He allowed her to leave for work the next morning, and she reported the incident to deputies on that date, the Sheriff's Office said.
Detectives obtained arrest warrants for Galliano two days later and arrested him the same day.
He is charged with forcible rape -- including sodomy -- and false imprisonment while armed with a dangerous weapon, the Sheriff's Office said. He is in the Lafourche Parish jail in lieu of a $250,000 bond.

AVON, Colorado - A local restaurant is hosting a benefit for a kids ski league.
The Northside Cafe and Kitchen in Avon is hosting a benefit for the local Buddy Werner League.
"The Buddy Werner League helps more than 300 local kids with skiing and ski race training," said Jim Pavelich, Northside Cafe owner. "It's a great organization and we can't wait to have a great time Sunday night."
The event is for everyone, not just for Buddy Werner League members, Pavelich said.
Buddy Werner League is a recreational race club for skiers in grades 2-8.
The organization is named for Wallace "Buddy" Jerold Werner, America's first truly world class ski racer.
A native of Steamboat Springs, Werner had a breakneck style that caused spectacular spills, but also enabled him to win virtually every championship available during his mercurial career. He was a three-time Olympian.
Werner died trying to outrace an avalanche in the Swiss Alps on April 12, 1964.
Among his accomplishments were:
• Member, Olympic Alpine Team: 1956, 1960, 1964.
• Member, Federation International du Ski Alpine Team: 1954 (alternate); 1958, when he was the first American selected; 1962.
• Posthumously inducted into the National Ski Hall of Fame, 1964.
• Three time Holmenkollen Champion in Norway, with the best showing to date by an American Alpine skier in international competition: 1954, 1956, 1962.
• Three time National Alpine Champion in Giant Slalom: 1957, 1959, 1963.
• Two time winner of the Roche Cup: 1959, 1961.

Editor: Making a case, once again, for Sarasota as All-America City
Published: Saturday, May 11, 2013 at 11:02 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, May 11, 2013 at 11:02 p.m.
If you're an overachieving youth or the proud parent of one or a doting grandparent, stick with this column.
The Herald-Tribune Media Group is accepting nominations of outstanding youth leaders for the All-America City Youth Award competition.
A panel of community judges will select a finalist to compete and represent Sarasota County during the All-America City Youth Awards in Denver June 14-16. A personal interview may be required.
• Youth ages 14-25
• Must be a resident of Sarasota County
• Must be available to fly to Denver June 13-17 (travel expenses paid)
Youth leaders may nominate themselves or be nominated by someone in the community. Each youth leader or nominating individual must complete an application form and submit a one-page essay – single- spaced – describing how the youth leader exemplifies the criteria below. (Two letters of support are encouraged but not mandatory.)
• Exemplifies the All-America City criteria of impact, inclusiveness, innovation, collaboration and civic engagement.
• Has had an impact on the wider community. (What difference did he or she make?)
• Inspires others to get involved, undertake comparable efforts.
• Demonstrates the insight and courage to collaborate across lines that usually divide people.
Forms, essays and support letters should be submitted to bill.church@heraldtribune .com by 5 p.m. on May 23.
All submissions must include "All-America City Youth Award Submission" in the subject line.
The Sarasota County youth leader selected to compete will receive notification via email and by phone.
CLICK HERE to download the application form.
I've saved the best stuff for the end.
Now let's put you in the driver's seat.
If you've been stopped by morning traffic in Sarasota County and had occasion to ponder the familiar signs, three questions surely popped into your idling mind:
1.Is the Jones & Crane cruise fully booked for this fall?
2.When are the tourists going home?
3.What does it mean to be an All-America City?
Fortunately, I'm a trained editor, i.e. know-it-all, with the answers.
1.I think so. (But why do I always look at the fuel gauge when Jackson Browne's "Running On Empty" comes on the radio?)
2.Why would they want to leave?
3.Sarasota County must be doing something right.
Sarasota County is a finalist again for All-America City, the prestigious national community award sponsored by the National Civic League. Sarasota County was named an All-America City in 2006, so the county won't have to order new signs. Get recognized a month from now, and those countless signs simply need fresh paint.
The All-America City finalists will make their case for fresh paint June 14-16 in Denver.
A group of community leaders, spurred by The Patterson Foundation, are putting together Sarasota County's presentation.
According to the National Civic League website, All-America City status "recognizes 10 communities each year for outstanding civic accomplishments. To win, each community must demonstrate innovation, inclusiveness, civic engagement and cross-sector collaboration by describing successful efforts to address pressing local challenges."
You have to like Sarasota County's chances. Innovative projects tied to veterans (think Patriot Plaza and the Legacy of Valor initiatives tied to Sarasota National Cemetery), our dynamic aging population (think the Institute for the Ages) and community-fueled literacy success (think North Sarasota Library) make us a best practice for other communities.
The Herald-Tribune Media Group is proud to be part of the All-America City community team. Our role is to provide fair and balanced coverage, but we do so with the belief that our community is willing to face its challenges. We believe in our community. And we want the community to succeed.
In the coming weeks, we'll invite you to share your enthusiasm for Sarasota County through the power of social media and digital storytelling. More details to come.
Now, here's the best part of the column:
We're seeking nominations of outstanding youth leaders for the All-America City Youth Award competition. A panel of local judges will select a finalist to represent Sarasota County during the All-America City presentations in Denver.
The chosen one must be:
nBetween 14 and 25 years of age;
nA resident of Sarasota County;
nAvailable to fly to Denver June 13-17 (travel expenses paid).
Youth leaders may nominate themselves or be nominated by someone in the community. The nomination process includes an application form and one-page essay. Two letters of support are encouraged.
All of the above needs to be submitted to me (email email@example.com) by Thursday, May 23. (Further details about the application process are included with this column.)
To the future youth winner, welcome to the All-America team.
You're the reason we believe Sarasota County's best years aren't idling in traffic.

Topic: Is there anyone here that can "translate" studies and medical info?
Today you all posted some great information on the CC facebook page.
Studies and trials and what not ....results etc.
I am wondering if there is anyone here who speaks "doctor" and "english
that can translate this information for those of us (me) who spend
hours googling every other word and STILL don't "get it".
(I admit it--"medical speak"...not my strong suit!)
I am sure I'm not the only one.
I know this requires time and effort--but it sure would be FABULOUS
to look at the information and say "OHHHH!! that's what they're saying!"
Cross posted this on Facebook page as well.
Thanks for considering...it's just that when we're in the fight for our lives,
it would be great to actually understand all of this information thrown at
I know there are some SUPER smart people on here that can read those
studies and totally understand--would it be possible for those smarty pants
to translate for us?
I, for one, (as well as my husband) would appreciate it forever!!!

"Sweet 16 baby!" Craic Festival director Terence Mulligan is in ebullient form, and who could blame him?
Having successfully promoted the best of contemporary Irish film, rock and Irish culture (even for kids) for the last 16 years, there's no one else in New York representing all three as well or as long as the Craic Fest has.
"We have an ambitious lineup because this year we're exclusively screening documentaries," Mulligan tells the Irish Voice. "It's something that's never been done before in the history of the festival."
This year's Craic Fest will start with the Kids Fleadh on March 1 at The Irish Arts Center. "We'll start with the screening of tried and tested short Irish films, then we'll move on to a story telling session led by the novelists John Liam Shay and Honor Molloy, and then the third part is a class with the Niall O'Leary stepdancers. It's a comprehensive Irish day out for the kids," Mulligan says.
The festival format, scheduled between the Irish Arts Center, the Tribeca Cinema and music venue the Mercury Lounge, has taken on a life of its own.
"We took chances and we modified it over the last two years and it's been a sell out every time," Mulligan explains. "One thing we tried was adding animated Irish language short films (with subtitles) and they went over really well. The films themselves are terrific. It's a total immersion in Irish culture for kids here."
On March 6, the opening night gala screening for the film part of the festival will see the U.S premiere of the documentary Danny Boy starring Gabriel Byrne and Malachy McCourt, both of whom are scheduled to attend, as is the film's director James Maycock.
Danny Boy Trailer from craicfest on Vimeo.
An examination on the enduring appeal of the famous Irish ballad, the film debuted last year on the 100th anniversary of its original publication. Each generation owns its own version, it seems.
In World War I it became a sort of anthem for the troops, and then it found a new home in Hollywood musicals in the 1940s. Later still it bewitched Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash, and in more recent times in the tense standoff between church and state in the Fifth Avenue St. Patrick's Day parade in New York City it has become a kind of secular anthem.
Famous Irish contributors to the documentary also include Jim Sheridan, Malachy McCourt, Rosanne Cash, Brian Kennedy and Barry McGuigan, as they explain the enduring appeal of "Danny Boy" and suggest what it has come to symbolize for the Irish around the world now.
"It's a comprehensive look at the song and the ways its been remade by each singer and each era, from its appearance in films in Hollywood to the wider sociopolitical and historical standpoint," says Mulligan, who ardently loves the film.
In a double feature on March 7 the award winning documentary The Siege of 1922 (about the Irish Civil War, directed by Andrew Gallimore) will be screened on the same night as the U.S premiere of 14 Days (directed by Dermot Lavery).
A 52-minute documentary for Irish language station TG4, The Siege of 1922 tells the story of the siege of Dublin's Four Courts that marked the beginning of the Irish Civil War.
"We try to build on filmmakers we've had success with and Andrew Gallimore is a really successful one," says Mulligan. (Previously the festival screened Gallimore's The Gentleman Prizefighter, his biography of famous Irish prizefighter James J. Corbett, narrated by Liam Neeson).
His follow up is 14 Days, a captivating chronicle of a remarkable political turning point in The Troubles that was led by the now famous Irish Redemptorist priest Father Alex Reid, who we follow as he makes his increasingly desperate attempts to find a path to peace following two weeks of violence that had tipped the North over into despair.
With the March 1988 shooting of three IRA members by the SAS in Gibraltar a seemingly unstoppable fortnight of violence and retaliation had erupted, with the now famous attack by Loyalist Michael Stone that killed three people at the IRA members' funerals, followed by the killing of two British Army Corporals by the IRA at the funeral of one of Stone's victims.
Mired in political stalemate and endless cycles of violence, Reid somehow found the courage within to find hope in the darkness, and his efforts helped bring about the beginnings of the peace process. Among the notables interviewed for the film are Mark Durkan of the SDLP and Gerry Adams of Sinn Fein.
"14 Days takes place over 14 days of the Troubles in Belfast in 1988," Mulligan adds.
"It centers on the priest and how he became a focal point of the conflict during that time period. It's a great document of the period and I think it will fascinate anyone who sees it."

Children's Health
CDC Report: Kids Still Eat Too Much Added Sugar
Feb. 29, 2012 -- U.S. children and teens have cut down on added sugars but still eat too much, according to a new report.
"Added sugar consumption is high among children and teens," says Cynthia L. Ogden, PhD, an epidemiologist with the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics, which issued the report.
About 16% of total calories eaten by children and teens are from added sugars, Ogden found.
The 2010 Dietary Guidelines recommend limiting intake of ''discretionary'' calories, including added sugars and solid fats, to a total of 5% to 15% daily.
The new report is published as an NCHS Data Brief.
Added Sugars by the Numbers
Ogden examined data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. It is a government survey that assesses the health and nutritional status of the U.S. population.
Added sugars are defined as sweeteners added to processed and prepared foods. Eating too much added sugar has been linked to weight gain and an increase in cholesterol levels in teens that may raise the risk of heart disease.
Overall, the children and teens took in 16% of their total calories from added sugars. However, Ogden found that boys ate more than girls. Boys got 16.3% of calories from added sugars. Girls got an average of 15.5% of their calories from added sugars.
How might that translate to calories? "Boys 12 to 19 got 442 calories [a day] from [added] sugar," Ogden tells WebMD. "A little over three regular sodas a day would give you that."
Other findings:
- Preschool-aged children 2 to 5 ate the least amount of calories from added sugars.
- White children and teens ate a larger percent of calories from added sugar than those of Mexican-American descent.
- Income levels of families seemed to have no effects on the amount of added sugars eaten.
- Overall, more added sugars came from foods compared to beverages.
- About 40% of calories from added sugars came from beverages.
- More added-sugar calories are eaten at home than out.
Added Sugars: Some Progress
In a previous report, other CDC researchers found that from 1999 to 2000, children 12 to 17 ate about 22% of their total calories from added sugar, Ogden says. In the new report, Ogden looked at teens 12 to 19. Boys in this age range got 17.5% of their calories from added sugars; girls, 16.6%.

Snow? In Polk? Maybe, But It's Too Early to Tell
Published: Saturday, February 23, 2013 at 12:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, February 24, 2013 at 1:25 a.m.
Polk County just might be seeing some snow next weekend.
National Weather Service meteorologist Richard Rude said it's too far out to tell for sure, but according to the Global Forecast System, a numerical weather prediction system, snow just might be in the cards.
"It's in the models right now," Rude said. "A couple of them are kind of hinting at it."

It's not clear what causes a liver hemangioma to form. Doctors believe liver hemangioma is congenital — meaning that you're born with it.
Liver hemangioma usually occurs as a single abnormal collection of blood vessels that is less than about 1.5 inches (about 4 centimeters) wide. Occasionally liver hemangiomas can be larger or occur in multiples.
In most people, liver hemangioma will never grow and never cause any signs and symptoms. But in a small number of people, liver hemangioma will grow to cause complications and require treatment. It's not clear why this happens.

Joshua Jones, the 26-year-old suspect in the shooting death of Aiken Department of Public Safety Master Cpl. Sandy Rogers. (WRDW-TV / Jan. 29, 2012)
Thursday, Dec. 6, 2012
AIKEN, S.C. -- Additional charges have been handed down for the man accused of killing an Aiken officer in January.
Joshua Jones, 27, is now facing indictments for failure to stop for blue lights, unlawful carrying of a pistol, larceny and possession of a weapon during a violent crime. He's also got charges for incidents at the Aiken County Jail.
Jones was previously charged with the murder of Master Cpl. Sandy Rogers. Rogers was shot and killed after responding to a call about a suspicious vehicle in Aiken.
Rogers spent 27 years fighting crime in Aiken. She joined the Aiken Department of Public Safety in 1984.
Rogers' death came a month after the death of Master Public Safety Officer Scott Richardson. News 12 recently learned the Aiken County solicitor plans on seeking the death penalty against Stephon Carter, the man accused of pulling the trigger.
Jones is also facing murder charges across the river in Richmond County for the fatal shooting of his girlfriend.

How do you even begin to explain 50 years of rock 'n' roll rebellion and revelry? In "Crossfire Hurricane," an HBO documentary about the Rolling Stones, Keith Richards waxes romantic.
"It's almost a fairy story, you know?" he rasps.
Directed by Brett Morgen, "Crossfire Hurricane" whisks viewers away on a journey that covers the Stones' evolution from blues-obsessed outsiders in the early 1960s to a mainstream institution. It's a breezy, boisterous ride -- one that Morgen initially was hesitant to take.
"The Stones mean so much to so many people," he says in a phone conversation. "I didn't want to be the one who (screws) up their story."
He didn't. Though some hard-core devotees will gripe that it's full of gaping holes, "Crossfire Hurricane" -- a title taken from a lyric in "Jumpin' Jack Flash" -- isn't meant to be a rigorous encyclopedic workout, but an immersive, up-close view of a pop-cultural phenomenon.
Thus, we are treated to a whirlwind of scenes that plunge us into the wild-eyed hysteria of those early club gigs. Also intimately recounted are the eerie death of original member Brian Jones, the formation of Richards and Mick Jagger as a songwriting team, and the drug-fueled, hedonistic haze of the '70s. "Crossfire Hurricane" is, essentially, our backstage pass for it all.
In October 2011, Morgen took a call from Jagger, who was keen to make a film marking the band's golden anniversary. The director instantly thought "miniseries," but Jagger wanted none of that.
"He told me that he wasn't interested in a 'rambling, boring, self-indulgent' project," Morgen recalls. Nor did he want to turn it into a "bitch-fest."
Instead, the director who earned an Oscar nomination for 2002's "The Kid Stays in the Picture" hewed to a thematic narrative that followed the Stones' gradual transformation from being, as Jagger puts it, "the band everybody hated to the band everybody loves."
Indeed, the film recaps how they were originally cast as British bad boys -- the "anti-Beatles." But what began as a gimmick became reality as run-ins with the authorities piled up, including the infamous 1967 Redlands drug bust.
"That's when we really put on the black hats," Richards says in the film. "Before that, they were off-gray."
"Crossfire Hurricane" deftly blends vintage concert footage, TV broadcasts, pieces of key songs and clips from other documentaries in with voiced-over highlights from 80 hours of fresh interviews with current and past band members -- all conducted off-screen.
"I'm not a big fan of talking heads," says Morgen, who also wanted to avoid the "distracting" visual juxtaposition of the wrinkled rockers of today and their youthful selves.
As for his impressions of the intimate one-on-one sessions, the filmmaker says reclusive drummer Charlie Watts predictably found them to be a "little like going to the dentist," while Richards proved to be "incredibly lyrical" and Jagger the most forthcoming.
"I think he revealed more of himself than the others did," Morgen says of the Stones' wiry frontman.
One of the film's most compelling sequences recalls the deadly violence of 1969's Altamont concert, previously chronicled in the documentary "Gimme Shelter." Here, Morgen attempts to see the event through the eyes of the Stones, who admitted to being "terrified."
The film, which abruptly ends after the 1978 release of "Some Girls," is unfortunately bereft of bombshell revelations, and doesn't even mention the bitter rift that developed between Jagger and Richards in the '80s. That's the downside of a project done with the participation of its subjects. (The Stones are given producer credits.)
Still, there are a few insights to be gleaned from the interviews. Jagger, for example, talks of how the Stones were basically "method actors." Richards asserts that the song "Midnight Rambler" best captures the essence of his writing partnership with Jagger. And Mick Taylor is frank in his explanation of why he left the band.
One of Morgen's key highlights while working with the band doesn't appear on screen. He was in the room when the Stones got together for the first time in seven years for a private jam. ("What could top that?" he says.) As for the band's future, the director doesn't see them quitting any time soon.
"I was left with the impression that they'll continue to play as long as they can put on a show," he says. "Like a great athlete, they'll hang it up when they can no longer play at the highest level."
X MARKS THE (RANKING) SPOT: "The X Factor" (8 p.m. Thursday, Fox) may not have become the ratings juggernaut Simon Cowell hoped it would, but it has brought a fun twist to the music-contest model. During its elimination episode last week, the show spelled out exactly how each of its 12 finalists ranked in viewer voting. It's the kind of transparency we've craved for years from "American Idol."
The results were intriguing: A middle-aged country crooner (Tate Stevens) led the pack, while a boy band Cowell has hyped as the next big thing (Emblem3) lagged at No. 6. It also became clear that singers who connected emotionally with viewers (No. 2 Carly Rose Sonenclar) were more valued than those relying on staged razzle-dazzle (No. 8 Paige Thomas).
We don't know if "The X Factor" will stick with the new wrinkle, but if it does, it will be interesting to see if the rankings change much from week to week, and/or if they will spur fan bases of certain singers to intensify their efforts.
If there's a downside to the rankings, they could wind up draining some mystery and suspense from elimination nights.
CHANNEL SURFING: Those viewers still hopelessly devoted to "Glee" (9 p.m. Thursday, Fox) are certain to enjoy this week's episode. It has fan favorites Rachel (Lea Michele), Kurt (Chris Colfer) and Santana (Naya Rivera) returning to McKinley High for the school's opening-night production of "Grease."

Monday's letters: Debating tenure
Published: Monday, September 23, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, September 20, 2013 at 5:32 p.m.
To the editor: I evidently touched a nerve of some of you present and former teachers with my kudos for ending tenure for K-12 teachers.
Though I went through those grades long before tenure or teachers unions, I did observe their less-than-desirable manifestations as a member of a university research faculty for several years. Even in those days, tenure and unions were fraught with university politics, and they protected mediocrities; whereas, individually negotiated contracts tended to recognize and reward merit.
Since those days, university politics has expanded to national political bias with dominance of a left-leaning professoriate who are, in turn, teaching the teachers of our kids.
Furthermore, while a masters degree may enable better knowledge of ones subject, it does not follow that one is better able to teach a subject or should automatically be rewarded with an increase in salary. Unfortunately, in todays political climate, that masters degree can also come with less than an open mind.
As in the public sector, teachers salaries should be negotiated based on classroom performance and results. Those are my opinions, and you are welcome to yours.

Too much rhetoric
To the editor: A letter writer in the Sept. 9 Times-News carelessly used the word traitors to describe government officials who have degraded the Bill of Rights in the name of national security. I suggest that inflammatory rhetoric like this almost always harms or prevents rational, objective dialogue.
Undeniably, the Patriot Act enacted in the wake of 9/11 encroached upon the Bill of Rights, including aggressive surveillance that edges toward breaching the Fourth Amendment. Programs arising from two versions of the Patriot Act may be deemed egregious by some. But Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution defines treason: Levying War against [the U.S.] or adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. Neither President Barack Obama nor President George W. Bush authorized any program that is traitorous by that definition.
President Obama said Americans recognize that its impossible to have complete security, but it sometimes is necessary to sacrifice some personal liberty to increase security. Ben Franklin often is claimed to have said, A people who would sacrifice liberty in order to gain security will neither have nor deserve either.
Semantics is the important art of precise use of words to convey meaning. Intrusive surveillance programs can be opposed vigorously without ad hominem rhetoric.

Birds of a feather
To the editor: I see where Vlad Putin has chastised Barack Obama for referring to American exceptionalism. Neither one of them has a clue as what the source of it is. We are not more intelligent than other peoples. After all, our population has its origins in all parts of the world. We certainly dont have a better education system.
The defining difference is our freedom, enshrined in the Constitution.
I know why the iron-fisted Mr. Putin fears freedom and exceptionalism, but what is Obamas reason for systematically, with the aid of his idealogue attorney general, chipping away at the beliefs of the Founding Fathers?
Methinks the two leaders are birds of a feather. The difference is that Putin is a pro, and Obama has exposed himself as the rank unready amateur he has always been. Even the liberal press is starting to get it.

EAGLE COUNTY - Like many inventors, Jan Strauch was challenged by the old question: "Isn't there a better way to do this?" The result may change the way we think about barbecue grills.
Strauch's "isn't there a better way?" moment came a few years ago, after he'd inadvertently turned some steaks into beef-flavored briquettes. After the Friday night flare-up, Strauch - a lifelong tinkerer and inventor as well as the owner of Overland and Express Travel - started thinking and tinkering. By Sunday, he'd put together the first prototype of the Charless Grill. After that, Strauch started his own version of test-marketing, inviting friends over for Charless dinners.
In a 2010 story about the Charless Grill, Strauch didn't talk much about how the thing actually works. Now, after more than three years of patent searches, applications and numerous pitches to potential investors, the story can be told:
The Charless Grill surface starts off horizontal. A backyard chef places food on the surface, locks down the top and spins a handle that moves the grilling surface so it ends up positioned vertically between two heating surfaces, which can use either electricity, gas or charcoal.
Anything dripping from the food stays off the heating surfaces, eliminating flare-ups while retaining the diamond-shaped grill marks that make grilled food look delicious. It's still possible to burn food, Strauch said, but the nasty charring that's so common with brats, steaks or chops just won't happen.
While grill-blackened food is just about synonymous with grilling, the black stuff isn't good for you. Studies have found links to cancer and other diseases. That's part of the Charless pitch: This is healthy backyard cooking.
Strauch isn't the first person to think of vertical cooking, of course - a pop-up toaster cooks vertically. But, Strauch said, the Charless Grill's combination of features make it unique, which is why he applied for a patent.
That process is time-consuming and expensive - nearly four years after the initial application, Strauch expects his official notification to come in the next few weeks.
Also expensive is turning an idea that started with a cardboard model, and then sheet metal and screws, into a good-looking, high-end product that can do business in the U.S. market, which every year sells about 15 million grills - devices that "all do the same thing," Strauch said.
Bringing the Charless to market has required hiring multiple attorneys, engineers and designers.
"It's been very expensive," Strauch said. Recovering that investment, for both Strauch and his investors is going to take actually selling grills. Those sales will start early next year, most likely in California, which has a big chunk of the U.S. grill market and a lot of speciality stores that sell home and garden products.
Those shops for some time will be the only places consumers can buy a Charless Grill. First, it's a premium product. The predicted price is about $2,000. Still, Strauch said, "there are grills that cost $10,000."
Another reason to stay in the speciality shops is because those stores are more likely to have employees who will understand the system. The Charless could easily get lost in the rows of grills sold at big home-improvement chains, Strauch said.
So when might we see Charless Grills in the Vail Valley?
Strauch said the people who have had meals at his house - more than 100, at this point - will have a chance to buy a grill. So will investors - who will be able to buy at a discount.
Beyond that, though, the rest of us will have to wait and keep grilling with a spray bottle on the tool shelf to knock down those nasty flare-ups.

About the Book
"Scholarly, pastoral, prophetic, and eloquent. The invitation to follow Jesus instead of worshiping Christ could not come at a more important time, or be issued by a more credible source." — Desmond Tutu
"Robin Meyers emerges in Saving Jesus from the Church as a national voice for a new Christianity. He is a well read scholar and a superb communicator. He writes with a refreshing honesty and a disarming authority. This book is a treat." — John Shelby Spong, author of Jesus for the Non-Religious
Robin Meyers, a rising star of liberal Christianity, restores the true mission of the faith that captures the heart of Jesus's concern for people over "right belief." Saving Jesus from the Church will resonate deeply with those who enjoy the works of John Shelby Spong, Marcus Borg, and John Dominic Crossan.
Countless thoughtful people are now so disgusted with the marriage of bad theology and hypocritical behavior by the church that a new Reformation is required in which the purpose of religion itself is reimagined.
Meyers takes the best of biblical scholarship and recasts these core Christian concepts to exhort the church to pursue an alternative vision of the Christian life:
- Jesus as Teacher, not Savior
- Christianity as Compassion, not Condemnation
- Prosperity as Dangerous, not Divine
- Discipleship as Obedience, not Control
- Religion as Relationship, not Righteousness
This is not a call to the church to move to the far left or to try something brand new. Rather, it is the recovery of something very old. Saving Jesus from the Church shows us what it means to be a Christian and how to follow Jesus' teachings today.

Critical Praise
"Robin Meyers emerges in Saving Jesus from the Church as a national voice for a new Christianity. He is a well read scholar and a superb communicator. He writes with a refreshing honesty and a disarming authority. This book is a treat." — John Shelby Spong, author of Jesus for the Non-Religious
"With crisply prophetic joy, Meyers calls seekers and believers alike to leave belief about God behind in favor of becoming imitators of Jesus. We can save Jesus from the church, and in doing so, recreate faith communities freed from hypocrisy and filled with hope." — Diana Butler Bass, author of Christianity for the Rest of Us
"Every once in a while, a book comes along that changes everything. This is the book. It is scholarly, pastoral, prophetic, and eloquent--all in equal measure. Robin Meyers has spoken truth to power, and the church he loves will never be the same." — Desmond Tutu
"The time is right for this book and this book is right for the time." — Fred B. Craddock, Bandy Distinguished Professor of Preaching and New Testament Emeritus, Emory University
"In a progressive rather than negatively critical mode, in strong contrast to much of Far Right Protestantism, pastor/NPR commentator Meyers (philosophy, Oklahoma City Univ.) suggests with typical elegance that a recovery of true Christianity emphasizes compassion over condemnation, blessing over sin, and equity over individual prosperity. Highly recommended." — Library Journal, starred review
"Meyers' insightful and provocative critique of contemporary Christianity will stimulate energetic theologizing: deconstruction, reconstruction, or impassioned defense of the inherited tradition. Thank you, Robin, for convening this urgently needed conversation." — Dr. James A. Forbes, Jr., president and founder of The Healing of the Nations Foundation
"A perceptive book . . . Not many authors can present such progressive ideas and still come across as reasonable and loving. Meyers masters such a task." — Oklahoma City Oklahoman

Everyone in Tell City and Hawesville gets AT&T DSL except for Cannelton. I think we should see if our city could get it. We have AT&T phone service but we need dsl service also. Please check into this. Thank you.
I get broadband in Cannelton using Comcast cable.
I'm not familiar with Cannelton's phone system, as far as where central offices for ATT are located in that town, but the main issue will be what type of central office, if any, there is. I used to work for an internet provider a number of years ago in Bloomington, so I've seen the back side to this.
The main problem with DSL is cable distance, not to be confused with "as the crow flies" distance. For example, houses up by the golf course in Tell City are at the end of the effective range of 18000 ft. This is due to cable loops and whatnot that are stored in intersections. There could potentially be 1000' of cable in a given intersection, used for repairing damaged lines where they can just pull a few extra feet as needed. Also, a line may meander around, not always taking the straight street path up to a neighborhood. At that end you can only get speeds that are maybe double a modem, while if you're downtown you get 20-30 times the speed. All due to distances.
If ATT doesn't have the right equipment in Cannelton on their end, that's the biggest holdup. That gets into the sad reality that they probably think the market is too small to warrant the effort. I'm frankly surprised Tell City and Hawesville got it as long ago as they did.
