CNN bringing 'Crossfire' back on the air
VAN JONES by David Bauder NEW YORK (AP) — CNN said Wednesday that it is bringing the political debate show "Crossfire" back on the air this fall with Newt Gingrich as one of the combatants. The former House speaker and Republican presidential candidate will be one of the four regular hosts of the program, taking the conservative side along with commentator S.E. Cupp of The Blaze. Stephanie Cutter, a former campaign spokeswoman for President Barack Obama, and Van Jones, a Yale-educated attorney and advocate for green projects, will speak from the left.

People in other states may be chanting "drill, baby, drill" -- but not Californians.
A new poll shows that a majority of Golden State residents oppose both new offshore oil drilling and expanding hydraulic fracturing, commonly known as fracking, to produce oil and gas. Californians also overwhelmingly support programs to expand renewable energy such as solar and wind power. And more than half say they have seriously considered buying a hybrid or an electric car.
Meanwhile, a record-high number of Californian residents -- 65 percent -- say the state should act immediately to cut greenhouse gas emissions, rather than waiting for jobs or the economy to improve, an increase of 9 percentage points from 2012.
"There's a huge consensus to do something about climate change and in support of renewable energy," said Mark Baldassare, president and CEO of the Public Policy Institute of California, the nonpartisan research foundation that conducted the poll.
The San Francisco-based institute was founded by Silicon Valley technology pioneer Bill Hewlett in 1994.
As part of its 13th annual poll on environmental and energy issues in California, the institute surveyed 2,103 residents by telephone from July 9 to July 23. The highlights:

A Butler County teenager sentenced to less than two months in jail for the death of a 16-year-old boy, who was body-slammed to the ground at a group home where they were living, can go free this weekend, a judge said Tuesday.
Lance Tiernan, 18, was sentenced in August to 54 days in jail on an involuntary manslaughter conviction in the 2011 death of Anthony Parker. Tiernan originally was charged with murder, which carries a life sentence. But jurors found that he did not mean to seriously harm Parker and convicted him of the lesser charge.
Tiernan's lawyer, Charlie M. Rittgers, said his client was remorseful and wants to get his life back together.
"He apologized to the family. He understands the pain he caused and wishes every day he could take it back," Rittgers said. "He never imagined in a million years Anthony would be seriously harmed, let alone dead."
Butler County Court of Common Pleas Judge Patricia Oney said Tiernan could be released as scheduled on Saturday.
Once released, Tiernan will be on supervision for five years. That will include reporting to a probation officer, taking drug tests and anger management classes, doing community service or getting a job.
Rittgers said Tiernan's parents left him when he was younger and he will live with a former teacher and her husband.
Both teenagers were staying at One Way Farm, a group home in Fairfield for troubled juveniles.
Tiernan said he lost his temper Dec. 19 and attacked Parker after Parker insulted him and his mother and told him that no one cared about him.
A surveillance video at the trial showed Tiernan smack Parker in the face, grab him, slam him to the ground and punch him in the face. Hours later, Parker began vomiting and was taken to a hospital, where he died on Dec. 28.
"He (Tiernan) was a 17-year-old kid, and 17-year-old kids don't frequently think about the consequences of their actions, especially when they lose their temper," Rittgers said Tuesday.
Parker's adoptive father, Frank Smith, testified in court in August that he will never forgive Tiernan. "I will hate him every day for the rest of my life. No matter how much time you give him, it won't be enough."

- Herhold: Santa Clara County supervisors should appoint Shirakawa's replacement
- Mar 5:
- Mercury News editorial: Election to replace Shirakawa best choice
- Santa Clara County's District 2 will elect a new supervisor
- Mar 4:
- Shirakawa's vacant seat: Santa Clara County supervisors weigh how, when to replace him
- Mar 1:
- Shirakawa's exit highlights county's rules for succession
With George Shirakawa's seat unfilled, the four remaining members of the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors could face a difficult spring: There will be no tiebreaking vote, and the people with the most at stake in critical budget talks will be from District 2, the largely low-income central San Jose area that Shirakawa represented until Friday.
Getting someone on the job quickly is the main argument for the board to appoint a successor to Shirakawa. But unless the remaining supervisors find a statesman or woman willing to serve as an interim representative -- not run for the office long term -- they need to instead call a special election so district residents can make the choice.
No ideal interim appointee comes to mind. Former Supervisor Blanca Alvarado has the stature and the community's respect, but even if she were willing to come out of retirement, she could not be a neutral placeholder: Her daughter Teresa Alvarado is expected to run for the seat.
A special election this year is estimated to cost about $750,000 more than waiting for next year's ballot, more if a runoff is needed. But it is the fairest way to go.
If a board appointee ran for the seat next year, he or she would almost certainly win; incumbents, appointed or not, have a huge advantage. That would mean supervisors with their own political agendas from other, very different districts in effect would be choosing District 2's representative for the next 12 years.
Shirakawa has been charged with five felonies involving personal use of taxpayers' and campaign contributors' money -- some $115,000 withdrawn from casino ATMs. Colleagues on the board and certainly Shirakawa's office staff had to know the man had problems. There's a lot of soul searching to be done and many questions to be answered about how this went on for so long.
For example, we hope District Attorney Jeff Rosen's office will find the origin of the thousands of dollars in illegal cash contributions Shirakawa drew on. The individuals or organizations it came from had to be attempting to buy influence; why else make illegal gifts? Entanglements of Shirakawa and his staff with Herguan University, which is under federal investigation, also need further illumination.
Fortunately, board Chairman Ken Yeager has taken charge of the District 2 office. Shirakawa's chief of staff, Eddie Garcia, is gone -- county officials will not comment, saying it's a "personnel matter" -- and Yeager aide Megan Doyle is managing the staff. Anyone with a connection to Shirakawa's finances should go. If only by turning a blind eye, they contributed to the problems.
District 2 needs a clean slate and a representative people trust. Barring a standout interim candidate, the supervisors should let residents make the choice.

Rated 4.4 out of 5�by 68 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by Hiker2016 Product was very comfortable We bought these socks for our hiking and safari trip to Africa. Needed a light weight sock that would hold up to the weather. We experienced rain storms and very hot weather while in Africa. Socks keep our feet as dry as possible and kept our feet from blistering while wet. I would highly recommend this socks May 17, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by Badd Pretty good! Slow drying for wool and synthetics. I bought these to help my feet stay warm during a sea kayaking trip with cold mornings/nights. Night one we accidentally ended up in a muddy location and these socks got soaked in the mud. In the morning I washed them and strapped them on top of my kayak near me so they wouldn't get splashed by waves or paddling. Thing is, they never dried! I kind of wanted to wear them at lunch time . .. nope! Still soaking! Hoped they would be dry by evening . .. . Nope! Still a little damp! Luckily I had the other pair in a dry bag and they successfully kept my toes warm all night. I was just astounded how long the other pair took to dry. April 12, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by AbsoluteJack Good boot sock Good boot sock. Just wished the checkout lines at Dick's were shorter. Saturday morning and there was only one checkout person and a sometime manager working a long line of customers.... March 9, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by KrisK LOVE them!! I ordered these socks at Christmas time for my husband, son, and daughter's boyfriend. I have since re-ordered them again for birthday gifts. They love them that much. They fit great, especially for men with bigger feet. They are also super warm socks. They have washed up very well. Definitely recommend!!! February 16, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Treker2016 Awesome socks I needed extra socks for my trip, so I ducked into the nearest Dick's as I shop there often. I saw the Field and Stream socks and decided to give them a try, they are great! Soft comfortable and a great value. February 16, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by staywarm Very warm socks in the snow. The socks were great in cold climate. Kept my feet warm and comfortable. Highly recommend these socks. February 9, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by GSan Great for cold weather Got these on a recommendation from Men's Health. The merino wool keep your feet warm and dry. Make sure there is wiggle room for your toes in your boot January 29, 2016
Rated 3 out of 5�by MichelleS Incorrect Sizing for Women! As a woman's 8.5, I purchased the size medium, per the size on the package. They were massive. If they had been a little big, I would have kept them, but there was no hope of shrinking these in order to have them fit. I would have exchanged for the size small pack, but I really did not like the elastic at the top of the cuff. It was really unforgiving and I imagine it would be uncomfortable after wearing for long periods of time. I ended up returning the package and getting a pair of SmartWool socks. I'd rather pay $20 for one pair I will love to wear than the same price for two that just sit in my sock drawer. These Field & Stream socks are simply not cheap enough to justify the purchase. January 28, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Kracker very warm very warm even when wearing steel toe work boots,I wear them daily when the temp is below 50 January 21, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Pam Absolutely loves them!!! My husband cleans pools for a living and I was looking for socks to keep his feet warm and these socks do just that. Wish I had thought of getting these years ago. January 20, 2016

If ticks were human-size, they'd be one of the scariest creatures on the planet. Even though ticks are tiny, they're still an awful nuisance, especially if you don't know how to minimize contact and the damage they can inflict if contact occurs. Over the course of the last couple of decades, large swaths of the U.S. have been churning out bumper crops of ticks, even in urban areas, and tick season is right around the corner. Thank goodness we have Dr. Sarah on-hand to clear up misconceptions about these little blood-suckers and to share helpful tips for dealing with these creepy-crawlies. If you and your companion animals plan to spend any time outdoors over the next few months, be sure to watch the latest episode of Pet Talk right now. And, please, share this video with your friends and family!
You may be groaning inwardly at another post on canine periodontal disease, but
the doggone truth is, many of us pet parents could stand to freshen up on the
topic. That's not a guess, it's a fact: 17 out of 20 dogs over the age of three
have some level of periodontal disease that needs treatment. One of the most
common canine diseases, it's also one of the most easily prevented. Dental
disease not only "stinks" at the source, it's also known to negatively impact
the health of the whole body. It's not a stretch to say that to have true
wellness, your dog's teeth and gums need to be as healthy as possible. I know
all of you are busy, so I'll briefly cover the three most salient points to
remember when it comes to canine dental care. You might want to take notes, or
simply print this out for reference, as there will be an oral exam. At least, I
certainly hope so! More...
you know, our foundation exists solely to help finance the day-to-day operations
and dreams of small-to-medium-size animal rescues because they do so much to
relieve animal suffering. While larger organizations typically have dependable
resources for revenue, smaller groups are no less dedicated but operate with
smaller staffs and fewer resources. That's why it gives us immense pleasure to
herald the news of one of our recent Dr. Jane HealthyPetNet Foundation grants,
awarded to the Ft. Lauderdale-based Paws South Florida Rescue, an animal-welfare
group laboring to put an end to the cycle of feline overpopulation in their
corner of the world.
Working almost exclusively with feral cat communities, PSFR is not a
traditional shelter but rather a close-knit group of volunteers who care for
cats on the outskirts of society. In fact, the majority of their work consists
of feeding and maintaining feral colonies. They make sure that every cat who
crosses their path is up-to-date on vaccinations, is tested for illness and
receives any necessary treatment. And all felines they come into contact with
are eventually spayed or neutered, without exception. In addition to managing
feral colonies themselves, PSFR also offers advice to independent colony
managers. More...

Lee Harvey Oswald to get his day in court today at State Bar of Texas Mock Trial
Second update: Hung jury. Vote is 9-3 in favor of guilt. But must be unanimous.
Original post:
For live tweets about the trial of any century, follow me on Twitter @dallascourts.
I will be live tweeting the two-hour mock trial of Lee Harvey Oswald for the November 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The trial is part of the State Bar of Texas annual convention and is not open to the public.
The trial begins at 2 p.m. Friday in downtown Dallas at the Old Criminal Courts Building, which is within view of the site the President was shot.
U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Sarah Saldana will prosecute Oswald, who will be played by civil attorney Cameron Cox. Defense attorney Toby Shook will defend Oswald.
State District Judge Martin Hoffman, a civil court judge in Dallas County, will preside over the trial.
The audience, attendees at the conference, will serve as the jury and answer two questions: Did Oswald shoot the President? And, did he act alone?
Expect period dress and the law mostly as it was in 1963,

My story for this show actually starts two days earlier, on NYE. As with most people, it seemed my friend and I were shut out of the NYE show at the Garden. Not to miss out on seeing a show to ring in the New Year, we decided to check out Govt. Mule at the Beacon Theatre, which by the way was a great show (for proof check out the blistering 2nd set, with Vernon Reid on guitar, in which they blazed through Miles Davis' Freddy the Freeloader, but that is another story for another time.)
On the ferry ride into Manhattan, my friends phone rings, and it was someone wishing us a happy New Years and, by the way, she may know someone who has two tickets to the first night in Hampton that they me need to get rid of... but they are not sure yet. Every free moment at the Govt. Mule show we spend calling our friend to see what the status of those two tickets is. She is still unsure, she tells us.
The next day we wake to the phone ringing. The guy with the extra tickets still hasn't made up his mind if he is going to be able to make it down to the show. I had to leave to head back home to Baltimore to meet up with some friends. My last words to my friend are to do what it takes to get those tickets.
A couple of hours later, while sitting in traffic on the Jersey turnpike, I get a call from my friend. He is on his way to Connecticut to get our tickets. The guy decided he was not going to go, and if my friend made it up to Connecticut that night we could have the tickets. Right before midnight my phone rings again. "One man gathers what another man spills" is all I hear from the other end. Two free tickets to the first night at the "Mothership". My friend leaves from Connecticut early the day of the show and drives down to Baltimore to pick me up and head on down to Hampton.
Less than forty eight hours ago we had nothing and now we are heading down to the first night of the Hampton run. Having never been there, I was bouncing off the walls the entire car ride.
The first time seeing the lights is an experience not soon forgotten, and one truly can see how Hampton Coliseum obtained the nickname "The Mothership". With its colored lights that surround the outside of the building lighting up the night sky, it sends its beams of light skyward, like a twisted "Bat Signal" for Phish fans.
The lot scene was pretty good despite the freezing temperatures. Everyone seemed to be in a very festive mood. I am sure the holiday season and the boys being back at Hampton had much to do with it. While cruising around I saw Mike chatting up some fans, and Fish was later seen checking out the lobby scene inside the venue.
A strong "Bathtub Gin" got things started off, and we do love to take a bath. While this was not the strongest show that Phish has ever played, is still always great to see the boys live. It bothers me when people want to deconstruct every show, setlist, and song to the point where they feel that there is never ever a good show. It always seems to some that it was better when...
Just as with everything in life, there are highs and lows. Sometimes Phish has a night of highs, sometimes they have a night of lows, and sometimes they have a night of both, but I keep in mind that a night of Phish lows is still better than any other band out there. To me there is no such thing as a bad Phish show, there are shows that are not as good as others, but their bad moments can still be pretty intense.
This night at Hampton was a night of highs and lows. There were some flubbed verses, a mixed change or two, "Character Zero" repeated from NYE. There were also some highs as well: the "My Friend, My Friend" in the second set, Fish's dance during "It's Ice", "46 Days" (this has great potential), and the "Antelope", which definitely got up and ran out of control at times.
The best thing about the Hampton show was that The Boys Were Back, back onstage doing what they do best, and what we like most. They took some chances; some worked and some did some did not. It gave me a chance to see some old friends, meet some new ones, hear some great music, and provide 10,000 people with great way to spend an evening.

First off, I would like to state my deepest appreciation for all of the work that has gone into PMS!
I've had great success getting PS3 Media Server up and running under Windows Vista 64 (other than having to download Java every time I run it). They key feature is the remux (without reencode), so I have disabled subtitles so that remux is always used.
Now, I'm moving use PMS on my Ubuntu Linux media server box. Since it's headless, I'm using the conf file (updated with new paths) from my working windows configuration. The good news is that everything is generally working. However, I cannot get the remux functionality working. Video is always re-encoded to MPEG2, even when streaming the same videos that are remuxed on the windows version.
I tried compiling a more recent version of mplayer/mencoder (rather than the older one that is installed with apt-get), but the same thing happens. (I did notice that x264 was not included in my build.) Are there any specific dependencies or build options required for the remux capabilities? For remux functionality, is mencoder the only thing that matters?
Any help or hints would be appreciated.

SAN JOSE -- A big question facing the Sharks' management and coaching staff in the coming weeks is where to play Brent Burns, who was acquired as a defenseman but showed his value as a forward in the second half of the regular season and in the playoffs.
Burns had nine goals and 11 assists for the Sharks during the regular season, all as a forward on a line with Joe Thornton, but may be needed more on defense as the team makes personnel decisions this summer and sets a roster for training camp in the fall.
"We owe it to the organization and we also owe it to Burnzie to let him know what we'd like to do moving forward," Sharks coach Todd McLellan said. "Brent will be able to participate in that, as well. We need a little time here. ... He's obviously a tremendous player in both positions."
Sharks general manager Doug Wilson, who confirmed Thursday that McLellan and his staff will return next season, was appreciative of Burns' willingness to play forward in March as the team looked to bolster a sagging offense and play a more north-south style.
"His immediate response was, 'If it helps the team, I'll do it.' That tells a lot about him," Wilson said. "We'll go through those conversations with the coaches next week and again we'll do what's best for the team."
Burns said it does not matter to him whether he plays forward or defense next season.
He would like to know before it gets too deep into the offseason, though, so he can plan his training regimen.
"If I play forward I'd probably want to be a little lighter, do more speed stuff, and agility. We'll see," Burns said, adding that strength and conditioning coordinator Mike Potenza, "would help me with a lot of that stuff.
"When you're a bigger guy you try to get as light as you can. Either way I would try to do that, but at forward I think you really concentrate on that."
"There's plenty of time for that in the future. I'm not really worried about that right now," Gomez said. "I'm still getting over the loss. I'll take a couple more days. Whatever the future holds. But this is a great organization and great group of guys and a team that can still win."
"He has a skill set that can be a difference maker," Wilson said. "You know our history -- a player has to come in and earn it on his own merit."
It had previously been reported that Logan Couture was playing with a sprained left ankle and Marc-Edouard Vlasic suffered a hairline fracture on his right foot.
Neither injury will require surgery.

The Green, a chart-topping reggae band from Hawaii, stops at three20south in Breckenridge tonight as part of its 19-city Liars & Lovers tour. The group's sophomore album, "Ways & Means," spent four weeks at No. 1 on Billboard's Reggae Chart, and its new single, "Liar," is out on Easy Star Records, with another album on the way. Here, guitarist-vocalist Zion Thompson raps on what The Green is all about:
It's basically multi-genre-influenced roots reggae - Hawaiian style. Sometimes we speak of Hawaiian issues directly in our lyrics, but we're not always necessarily trying to incorporate anything Hawaiian into our music. It just finds its way into the groove or the lyrics sometimes naturally because that's where we come from.
The Green formed out of a group of us who had grown up around the Hawaii reggae music scene and had been performing and recording together for years. We had all these songs and ideas so we put the band together. It was a good feeling when it started; we had a vibe going.
The name was almost not even a serious suggestion at first, because we knew by being a reggae band that the first thing people think of would be herb, but it immediately grew on everyone. It's a color created by the combination of other colors and in reggae music green represents the connection to the land, and for us that land is our home of Hawaii.
It's always pretty classic when we leave someone at a rest stop or gas station - purely accidental of course.
We've toured Colorado a bunch but never made it to Breckenridge. We're looking forward to jamming there for the first time.
Lots of positive vibes, high energy and lots of fun. Come party with us, Breckenridge. Check us out at www.thegreen808.com. Mahalo.

Shelby Car Show Sets New Record
Shelby Car Show Sets New Record
Shelby Car Show Sets New Record
Families and car enthusiasts from across North Texas turned out in large numbers to get a close up look at iconic Shelby Cobras and Mustangs at the fourth annual Shelby Car Show hosted by LegacyTexas Bank. Over 150 autos, a record for the show, were on display at the event, including vintage models from the Shelby Cobra Association of Texas and cars from the Shelby family's private collection. The Shelby American team was back again this year and showcased two new Shelby models, the Shelby Raptor truck and Shelby Focus ST, as well as the Shelby GT 350 and Shelby GT 500 Super Snake wide body edition.
The car show was open to the public and helped kick off the bank's 50th anniversary celebration. A crowd estimated at 2,500 was on hand for the event held at the LegacyTexas Bank corporate headquarters in Plano. "It's great to see such a large crowd again this year, and this is our largest number of car entries since we began hosting the event in 2010," said LegacyTexas Bank President Phil Dyer. "We are glad to see enthusiasm around our show continue to grow each year. This is a great opportunity for us to do something special for our customers, employees and the community."
Attendees of the car show ranged from families enjoying a Saturday outing to serious collectors, all of whom enjoyed seeing the large number of Cobras and Mustangs seldom gathered in one location. Multiple members of the Shelby family were in attendance as well, adding to the event's family-oriented atmosphere.
LegacyTexas has a long association with the Shelby family of North Texas. The bank is majority owned by the family of the late auto designer Carroll Shelby.

You just can't win them all, I guess. As warm and fuzzy as other people feel about me, there are people who would really rather not hear from me again. I've tried pinging them a few times, but now I'm getting definite get-out-of-my-life replies. I might check back in another decade. In one case, I really messed up, but that's part of life. I didn't hurt him as much as I hurt some other people before, who had forgiven me and come around to being one of my best friends. In another case, I don't understand what he's having such a hard time with, but oh well.
At the very least, this is a good way to learn how to deal with rejection. I need to develop a thick skin, anyway. And as Kathy Sierra said in Creating Passionate Users, until or unless you're willing to risk passionate hate, you may never feel the love.

Two or three decades ago, microbreweries started popping up around Colorado. Small-scale beer brewers breaking into the commercial market was a revolutionary idea at the time. These days, microbreweries such as Bonfire Brewing in Eagle are increasingly common - and successful.
People like Claude Seeman and Jeff Leonardo are betting that micro-distilleries are the next revolution. The two men are starting 808 Distillery LLC in Eagle, where they aim to produce a variety of liquors beginning this summer.
"Our first batch will be limoncello, an Italian liquor," Seeman said.
Leonardo grew up in an Italian family that took pride in its limoncello recipes.
"I grew up with it in New Jersey," he said. "There was lots of competition within the family to make the best limoncello."
The good thing about limoncello is that it doesn't need to age very long - approximately 12 to 14 days.
"Whiskey can take years to age properly," Seeman said. "I'd like to try it at some point. We'll try a lot of different things and hopefully find a niche."
At first, 808 Distillery products will only be available at restaurants and liquor stores.
"Eventually, we'd love to have a tasting room," Leonardo said.
Seeman said he started playing with the idea of starting a distillery a couple years ago.
"I used to make homemade beer and wanted to try this," he said. "I had to get permits to do it even as a private operation, so I figured I might as well try to make a business out of it."
Leonardo - who has been friends with Seeman since the 1980s - said they were joking around about starting a distillery at a Halloween party.
"Then the next day, (Seeman) said, 'Let's do it,'" he said.
It's been a long process to get steam behind the idea. State permits cost $4,000 and the federal licensing is $16,000. The company earned Eagle County's approval at the end of 2012 and the shiny, new distillery equipment was delivered recently.
"We call the still Luanne," Seeman joked, his eyes sparkling at the spotless copper and stainless steel. "It's made by Hillbilly Stills in Kentucky."
Meanwhile, Seeman is finishing construction of a garage-like facility for the production operation.
"I've had my hands full with the construction since I broke ground Jan. 14," he said. "I used to build spec homes, so it made sense to do all this myself. A lot of the materials I'm using here are being recycled from other jobs I had."
The target date to start production is on Seeman's birthday in June.
"It's been a long process," Leonardo said.
Seeman said he had his doubts about the microbrewery business when it started.
"I didn't think it was going to fly but it definitely has," he said.
Maybe the micro-distillery business will be next.
Shortly after 808 Distillery received its approval from the county, another operation was approved in Dotsero - Stoneyard Distillery. Those owners are also doing construction and aren't sure yet when production will start. Their plan is to make rum.
Leonardo pointed to a couple Colorado distilleries that have been successful.
"Peach Street Distillers in Palisade is doing great and won awards, so has Breckenridge Distillery," he said.

Lindsay Lohan -- who is rehab right now -- does not have a drinking problem.
But she does love ecstasy.
Lohan sat down last month with Piers Morgan to talk about all sorts of fun things, like how she's only done cocaine "maybe four of five times."
Did she mean, like, in the previous week?
According to Us Weekly, the interview just appeared in the Daily Mail and contained all sorts of informative tidbits. Like:
Health Ledger gave her advice about controlling her drinking (because, of course, people like Lohan who don't have drinking problems need advice about those nonexistent problems from people who will eventually die of a drug overdose).
She hasn't taken a drug (other than her prescriptions) in a year. Right. And she couldn't possibly have a problem with prescription drugs.
She's not an alcoholic and can give up drinking whenever she wants (see Heath Ledger reference).
She's done cocaine "maybe 4 or 5 times in my life" (math probably wasn't her best subject in school).
She likes ecstasy better than other drugs (which, of course, she doesn't take).
She does not think she needs to be in lockdown rehab for three months (where things could become awkward when she wants to do ecstasy).
She thinks rehab will be good for her because it gives people time to just be by themselves (her rehab, apparently, will be that one on the planet without counselors and other patients).
She's straight. No word from her ex-girlfriend Samantha Ronson on what she means by "straight."
Tune in tomorrow for more fascinating news about Lindsay Lohan's life.

It's a popular and busy road that runs through several counties.
But a construction project that starts in the next few months could slow down drivers on Washington Road.
Columbia County will add a median between Flowing Wells Road and Club Car Drive.
The hope is it will cut down on crashes.
New businesses bring new traffic...and that makes turning left into work a daily danger for Amber Throckmorton.
"People will swerve over, and the person who is behind them...they don't realize someone stopped and they have to slam on the brakes," Throckmorton says.
That causes the area's higher than usual number of crashes, according to engineer Ronnie Hutto.
"It impedes traffic with one lane shut down to make a left turn," Hutto says.
He wants to widen Washington Road from Flowing Wells to Club Car to add a 14-foot median. The county hopes it will ease traffic and lower crashes.
They may temporarily have to merge all those cars into one lane when construction starts.
So you might start to see some delays out here toward the end of the summer.
The delays are worth it in the long run for Washington Road driver John Stephens.
"Some days if you get caught up in the wrong lane, you could lose a lot of time," Stephens says.
He thinks it's a good use of tax money, which will pay for half of the $1.2 million project. The other half comes from state aid.
"The traffic volume has increased so much so anything they can do is gonna be a great help," says Stephens.
"They desperately need a median all the way down the road because it's growing. More stores are being built, and more traffic. It's not safe anymore," says Throckmorton.
Whether you work there or just drive by, the goal is to make Washington Road a safer place.
Columbia County has to work through some last minute details at the commission meeting April 18.
They expect the construction to start this summer and end by early winter.

Wrong version number
I think the version number should follow SynergyKM not synergyd or synergyc. This could make AppFresh correctly identify.
that's a real life saver, just installed it, I'm a happy guy, it cleared up my desk space.
no I just have to figure out how to make the mac command key act as control on Windows as it's little out of reflex to switch it each time
SynergyKM is the way to run Synergy on OSX, awesome!
Correct link: http://www.deftly.net/synergykm-for-105
Someone polished this up so it'll run on our more modern macs.
Oh yes, this tool is amazing. Unfrotunately, the link is gone. The project is now hosten on sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/synergykm
I've been using Synergy since 04 on my linux boxes. With SynergyKM it is a breeze to setup and use on the Mac!! If you have multiple machines in front of you like I do, this app is the ONLY way to go!
Throw away all those km switches.. SynergyKM is here to stay!!
Oh this is awesome. With my work machine next to my own personal machine, I can just mouse over to the adjacent desktop. The app is stable and simple, took all of two minutes to configure. Superb.
I Was using Teleport, but this is just so much more stable.

Take this sterling 8/93 show for example.
Fee > Split > Glide (w/signals) and Chalkdust > Who Knows > Chalkdust are as thrilling on tape as on paper; the groove that emerges at the end of Split is particularly fetching. But it's only a fancy, an idea no neater than any of the million-and-a-half others the bad tosses off on a given night. The 'secret language' theatrics in Glide are a neat bit of rock-conceptualist tomfoolery (as is the perverse metrical filip in each chorus of the Split jam, come to think of it). But when you dig into the music with the decontextualizing mixed benefit of hindsight, it's hard to avoid the feeling that Phish's extraordinary generosity of spirit rarely found unfettered expression in the early 90's precisely because of the band's taste for brainy hijinks.
The 8/9/93 Split slows and quiets to a sludgy nothing, but (say) 1998-era Phish would've seen the brief, jaunty post-Split funk groove as a chance for a new exploration - a moment for increasing depth. One of the few downsides of being a genius songwriter/guitarist/bandleader, apparently, is that it's perilously hard to sit still; the compulsion to do things *to* the groove, rather than *within* it, constantly got the better of Anastasio and company in those days, which goes a long way to explaining why Phish has always been a hell of a lot more interesting and exciting than The Grateful Dead, but for the longest time couldn't dream of matching the old Bay Area freakazoids' depth and patience.
(Insert various qualifiers about the differences between the two bands HERE.)
The same brain-before-heart dynamic obtains in this show's Tweezer > Tela. The start and end of the jam feature brief, compelling rockoutwithcockout guitar jams...but in the middle there's an aggressively off-putting start/stop weird-off that sounds for all the world like a failure of nerve - the need to joke around just when things are threatening to get majestic.
Or is that the mature refusal to indulge in 'anthemic' rock cliché I hear? Could be, I suppose. They are, after all, pretty goddamn smart guys. (And now all four are masters, without question.)
Regardless, it's a bit of a buzzkill, and when the guitar-cock reemerges during the jam's final minutes, I can't help thinking it's all a bit of a joke: a reflection on musical fellowship rather than a guileless embrace of it. All I know is, the 8/17/97 DWD drifts into some doofy start/stop metrical play too, but it stays funky and true, and the music laughs but *never at its own expense*. Beyond the stylistic differences, that's one big leap from '93 to '97 and beyond: groove-era Phish kept up the musical comedy, but kept the fourth wall largely intact when the lights went down.
The upshot, here, is that these two sets of music are about as good a time as you can have while getting your brain-muscles worked this hard. Phish '93 was the kind of band that could get thousands of college boys pumping their fists to a song like Mike Gordon's 'Mound,' for god's sake, could turn around and knock out a 'funky' YEM dissolving into an insane Psycho Killer/Contact mishmash in the vocal jam. Yet the most insightful song about human relationships played this night was the oblique Shakespeare spoof My Friend My Friend - and the highlight of the YEM is its extensive quotes of classic rock chestnuts. It's a brainy, exciting, festive, and inventive show. Phish '93 was peerless and this is a fine specimen of the breed. But (contra the hopelessly lost Parke Puterbaugh in 'Phish: The Biography') the music developed way beyond this point not only during the 1994-95 watershed but for several years thereafter - and losing a step while taking a leap seems like a no-brainer. Right?
It's a great month of Phish and a fine night; I'd grab 8/13 (Murat), 8/14 (Tinley Park), and 8/7 (Darien Lake) first though. Go nuts.

A couple of scary moments - but Woolwich dropped 2 pts - only of any benefit though if we gain 3. If that isn't motivation enough to beat Citeh, I don't know what is. And by Sunday, Woolwich just may have lost to Fulham (No? Oh well, nice thought anyway....) - giving us a chance to go above them with a game in hand. But anyone can play 'what if'... a case of wait and see.
Citeh have been hit and miss this season - to me, apart from Utd walking away with it when not playing that well, the top 7 - have been mediocre in general - including us.
Can AVB get us just to raise our game a notch?
6 points would be good from the next two games - a win away at Wigan isn't impossible or even unreasonable - just to give us a buffer before we get those 3 games in a week'ish.
Every game at this point of the season seems important - and the Pool-Chelsea game is obviously also going to affect our finish. They have a history of narky matches, so I hope it goes that way with half the Chavs team being sent off, and them losing as the icing.
For one of us it's going to be a case of 'I don't like Mondays'....

HISTORY is little but an inventory of errors. Even the best and most erudite can suffer delusions. Whenever I am in Washington DC I find many of those I most enjoy encountering come from the US State Department, a sort of graduate school that specialises in fallacies. The rest of the planet regards the State Department as on the side of the angels but gaspingly naive.
A defining folly that resides in the State Department is an almost uncritical perception that the European Union (EU), the commission and all its works are a good thing. The argument is a stale remnant of the Cold War. We are talking bulwarks here. The US government regarded a prosperous Western Europe as the best assurance against a Red Army assault. What happier idea than the reconciliation of a crushed Germany with its ancient enemy France, victorious but depleted? In 1946 I readily accept this was all relatively wholesome and benevolent.
Yet what made sense 60 years ago is more than threadbare now. It is false. The Soviet threat has evaporated. If we did have a device to deter any imperial ambitions of Moscow the deterring agent was Nato not the common agricultural policy.
I think it is possible to detect a few stirring from their slumbers in Washington. The endless jostlings with Peter Mandelson, the European trade commissioner, are plainly not the acts of a liberal or free trading entity. The EU has been busy banning genetically modified seeds for farmers. It has been harassing US corporations such as Microsoft with legal challenges that are, to put it charitably, contrived. US pharmaceuticals find the commission happy to draft retrospective laws and to disregard property rights.
The EU is not a democracy. Some in the State Department express some alarm that the EU powerhouse is unconstrained by any elective forces. Others speak in hushed awe at such a smooth bureaucracy unencumbered by troublesome politicians. Few Americans have really bothered to understand the nature of the commission. I believe it to be the most aggressive and ambitious force in the western world.
While China is opening itself up, the Europe of the Union is cocooning itself in ever more detailed rules, taxes, regulations and levies. India abandons is antique love affair with bureaucracy and chooses liberalisation. The Belgian Empire, as Margaret Thatcher calls it, is going in the opposite direction. If this were the result of electoral choice it would have a legitimacy. In fact it is an unconstrained autocracy.
For those of us in Britain who regard ourselves as Atlanticists with bonds of affection and respect for the US, the incomprehension of even elite Americans to the true nature of the EU is distressing. By the assessment of its own auditors the EUs budget is closely allied to organised crime: 40% of its funds go to rigging farming and food markets. No other single policy accounts for wider poverty. Yet Washington averts its eyes, still thinking bulwarks.
It is recognised that the endorsement of brutal and repressive regimes, if they were at least anti-communist, was a policy that nourished many evil tyrannies. It would be too colourful to describe the EU in these terms but it cannot be denied it is a mercantilist opponent of the liberalisation of trade in goods and services as much as foodstuffs. Note how the EU, born as a Common Market has decayed into a Common Bureaucracy. At the World Trade Organisation, the EU is effectively an opponent of the US.
A favourite debating trick of the late Sir Edward Heath, when negotiating the UK entry into the then Common Market, was to protest the talk of a vast Euro-bureaucracy was illusory. The commission employs fewer than the Scottish Office, he would tease. It was a clever trick. He simply ignored all those working for the commissions subsidiary bodies and for all the national civil servants executing commission policy or directives. There is no bigger bureaucracy on the planet.
A recent parliamentary answer in the Federal Parliament in Berlin admitted 80% of German legislation is merely compliance with commands from the superior body in Brussels. Westminster nods through what John Biffin terms a steady drizzle of rules and regulations. To most Americans the British have their monarch on her throne and her judges in their wigs. How can fellows like me say this is increasingly hollow? The Queens speech is mostly drafted by the commission. The Queens courts conform their law-giving as obedient to the true fount of lawmaking in Brussels. The British parliament debates on ever constricted grounds. It is only healthcare and education that remain untouched by the commission. There is no hyperbole in claiming the UK has no trade policy whatsoever. The DTI is merely the provincial office for the commissions commands.
Admirable Washington policy teams such as those at the Heritage Foundation and the American Enterprise Institute are trying to open the closed minds of Washington. I fear it will take a few thousand more seminars or perhaps one spectacular event to alert the US to the real truth about its delinquent child.

Poor weather conditions in the New Rockford and Rolla areas forced school officials to postpone the championship games of the District 7 and District 8 basketball tournaments on Monday.
According to school officials, a winter storm made travel for games unsafe. The weather conditions prompted some area schools to close, and plan for later opening times on Tuesday morning.
Both tournaments are scheduled to resume this afternoon, beginning with loser-out games.
In New Rockford, a pair of loser-out games will decide the four teams advancing to the upcoming Region IV Basketball Tournament. Starting at 4 p.m., the New Rockford-Sheyenne Lady Rockets will face off against Four Winds-Minnewaukan. That game will be followed by a showdown between Midkota and Harvey'Wells County.
The winner of the two loser-out games will join Lakota/Adams-Edmore and Carrington in the regional field.
Lakota /A-E and Carrington will face off for the District 7 title starting at 7 p.m.
In Rolla, the District 8 tournament will wind up with a pair of loser-out games featuring Langdon Area and Rolla and Starkweather-Munich and Rolette-Wolford. The Langdon Area-Rolla matchup will lead off the action at 4:30 p.m.
North Star and Benson County will play for the District 8 title at 7:30 p.m.
The Region IV Basketball Tournament will tip off next week in the Devils Lake Sports Center.

LOS ANGELES -- Trey Parker and Matt Stone are old hands at being holy terrors.
For the past 15 years the creators of "South Park" have been the reigning champs of camp. Now they have also earned a spot in the pantheon of Broadway with the pop culture juggernaut "The Book of Mormon."
The winner of nine Tony awards including best musical, "Mormon" is a blasphemous lampoon of religion with a song in its heart and a potty in its mouth. The twisted imaginations that brought us Mr. Hankey, the Christmas poo, have galvanized a new generation of theatergoers with this scatological satire of two bumbling Mormon missionaries dispatched to an AIDS-ridden African village.
Still a hot ticket on Broadway, where it opened last year, "Mormon" is thus far living up to its hype as the hottest ticket on the planet when it spreads to other cities. The profane parody sold out in less than two hours for its long-awaited five-week run at San Francisco's Curran Theatre from Nov. 27 to Dec. 30, and prime seats are now going for as much as $1,500 a pop on StubHub. (If you aren't among the blessed who scored tickets: there is a daily lottery in which a few $29 seats are available.) The same thing also happened at the launch of the national tour in Denver.
"I was unprepared for this kind of frenzy," says "Mormon" composer-lyricist Bobby Lopez. "But you've got to love it that there are 15-year-olds who are dying to see a Broadway show."
No one has been more surprised by the hoopla than Parker and Stone, who have now chalked up as many Tonys as Emmys (four). As chatty and warm as they are smart-alecky, they had no clue that critics would dub the show "heavenly" and theatergoers would be willing to shell out big bucks for their foulmouthed spoof even in an uncertain economy.
"People told us we were crazy to do this, that it was totally stupid, doomed to fail," says Stone during an interview at Hollywood's Pantages Theatre. "We went into this hoping for a respectable run, to last a year, maybe 18 months, just so we could hold our heads up.
"Now, suddenly, we're the Broadway establishment. We were completely caught off guard by this level of success."
A musical theater fan since childhood, Parker has a special fondness for the Rodgers and Hammerstein canon, which is often echoed in "Mormon." Stone had no interest in musicals until he met Parker in film school. Together they made the short film "Cannibal! The Musical," which paved the way for more sophisticated musical fare such as "South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut."
"I am so glad that we chose to do this onstage," Parker says. "We could make a sweet movie out of it but if we did it there would have to be a car chase and a bomb. The pure writing of it for the stage, where you just can't rely on any of those tricks, that was really cool."
Outrageousness has long been a hallmark of Stone and Parker's work. One of the "South Park" characters -- Cartman -- once played a practical joke on a school chum that involved tricking the lad into eating his parents.
"We embrace risk," Stone says. "The last few years on 'South Park' we have done some of the riskiest things we have ever done, knowing it could kill the show, but we also know that's what we have to do."
So it should come as no surprise that "Mormon" pokes fun at everything. Hard. There is one chipper little song in which the Ugandan villagers share their life philosophy, "Hasa Diga Eebowai," which involves, ahem, interacting with the Almighty through various orifices.
"It's so offensive but I am loving it," says Gavin Creel, who plays Elder Price. "There is one moment when I wonder, 'Is this too far?' but that's what brilliant about Trey and Matt, they know where the line is and they cross it. Then they look back at you from the other side because they have the courage to hop over."
In the show, the missionaries soon find their sunny optimism besieged by the bleakness of life in Uganda. Among the hot-button subjects the musical discusses are famine, warlords, female genital mutilation and baby rape.
Ironically, edginess has turned out to be the key to the show's miraculous box office returns. "Mormon" has tapped into the pent-up desires of a new generation of theatergoers who are better versed in Cartman than "Cats."
"You can't always be hokey and traditional, that's why Broadway fell into disrepute with the younger generation," says composer Lopez, of the edgy and often profane puppet show "Avenue Q." "You have to make it fresh."
Indeed, Darren Keith Velasco says "Mormon" has put theater on the radar for those younger than 30. "If any musical can bring in a new audience," says the Santa Clara University student, "it would be the 'Book of Mormon.' "
Perhaps the most unexpected thing about "Mormon" is that it laces its shock value with a lot of heart.
"You know 'South Park' so you expect the crazy humor but you don't expect how much emotion there is," says Creel, of "Hair" and "Mary Poppins." "I've never been in anything like this. The payoff from the audience is amazing, full-bodied intensity. Laughing one moment and crying the next."
For the record, Stone and Parker deny they set out to make fun of Mormons. Indeed, it's hard to think of a celebrity, cause or ideology that has not come under "South Park" fire. Those they have trashed over the years include Scientologists, Ben Affleck, Toyota Prius owners and people who go zip-lining.
Still, Parker insists they mean no ill will. They simply have a perverse sense of humor.
"We actually bend over backward not to offend people," he says, "it just comes out that way."
It's not just theater buffs who have gotten into the act. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has taken out ads in the program suggesting fans read the actual Book of Mormon because "the book is always better."
Stone's two cents: "They should make us honorary Mormons."

FARMINGTON — Early this morning police were searching for the driver of a car that struck a utility pole east bound on Route 11 across from the credit union office and fled the scene, leaving an injured passenger in the vehicle.
The passenger was transported to Frisbie Memorial Hospital in Rochester with what were described as non-life threatening injuries.
At approximately 12:45 a.m. police were searching a perimeter near the scene for the driver, including along Meetinghouse Road. Farmington and New Durham police were at the scene and involved in the search. Rescue and fire personnel were also on scene.
At 6:30 a.m. utility crews were still working to repair the damage to utility pole.

Type: Defect
Status: Closed
Priority: Minor
Resolution: Declined
Affects Version/s: None
Fix Version/s: None
Component/s: None
The default impl uses (identical? (type x) js/Object), but objects created in another JS context (e.g. another frame) will fail this test, since their constructor is a different js/Object. Thus js->clj is the identity on such objects.
I wonder if there are any related problems anywhere else, e.g. with protocols? This seems to be the only occurrence of js/Object.
Maybe this can be fixed by extending IEncodeClojure to object? I don't immediately see how to do that without incurring the option destructuring overhead recursively.
I don't think this is something that ClojureScript should try to address at all. To me it seems similar to various classloader issues in JVM land.
This is causing some unpleasantness, and I'm not aware of the classloader issues. Why check (identical? js/object x) instead of (goog.isObject x) on https://github.com/clojure/clojurescript/blob/master/src/cljs/cljs/core.cljs#L6948 ?
this bit me as well and I can't see a downside to using goog.isObject. I agree with David about not going down a rabbit hole here, but I think we can do the "right thing" for free.
EDIT: I spoke too soon. Looks like native objects, like dom nodes would blow up in this scenario. Also, goog.isObject returns true on functions, but that would be easy enough to deal with.
I suppose extending to object would similarly cause trouble for dom nodes etc?
If you can get ahold of the js/Object from another frame, is it possible to extend IEncodeClojure to it?
I have some experience with this stuff - it's a rabbit hole. There are many objects that can cross contexts for which we can provide no sensible equality guarantees. If you need to move data between JS contexts then use GClosure and stick to the basic JS data types. I'm inclined to close this one unless someone has a brilliant comprehensive solution that I'm not seeing right now.
This one is tricky. Closing for now.
