SAN JOSE -- Mayor Chuck Reed issued budget recommendations Friday that credited his controversial fiscal reforms with stabilizing the finances of a city pared by a decade of cutbacks but acknowledged a need for limited raises for officers, firefighters and other workers whose pay cuts helped the city weather past shortfalls.
Reed's "budget message" said the city's finances remain precarious, with employee retirement costs continuing to rise, if more slowly, and urged the City Council to be "cautious with the limited funds we have available, rebuilding reserves and spending in ways that will not add to future deficits."
"By taking bold and difficult actions, we have been able to bring our expenses under control and are in a position to adopt a second consecutive budget without service cuts or layoffs," Reed said in the budget message that will be discussed at Tuesday's council meeting.
But Reed also acknowledged that those actions -- 10 percent pay and benefit cuts and voter-approved pension reforms that employee unions are fighting in court -- have cost the city cops and other key workers. Though he said the city "cannot yet afford to restore the 10 percent pay cuts," the mayor said the city should do what it can to keep veteran employees on the job with limited pay increases.
"We've lost some good people," Reed said. "Fortunately, there are lots of great people that stayed, and I'd like do something to keep them."
Reed also proposed the city work with the county to seize some 1,200 guns from more than 500 owners that state authorities say should not own them. He suggested increased funding for homeless encampment cleanups, phasing out San Jose's $2.1 million annual contribution to the county's Children's Health Initiative in light of the county's increased revenues from an eighth-cent sales tax, shifting card room oversight out of the police department and raising the city's marijuana tax from 7 percent to 10 percent.
"He strikes an appropriate balance of caution and optimism," Councilman Sam Liccardo said, "recognizing the imperative to restore public safety and other critical services, but maintaining fiscal discipline to make sure we're not passing unpaid bills on to our children."
The council will vote on the budget message, which guides the city manager in preparing a draft budget, on March 26.
Critics have blamed Reed's fiscal agenda for driving away critical employees including police officers, public safety dispatchers and wastewater plant technicians, and predicted the city will have a hard time keeping workers who now feel devalued by city leaders.
"After years of unnecessary austerity, the mayor is finally finding a way to do what we've been advocating all along -- improve city services," said Ben Field, executive officer for the South Bay AFL-CIO Labor Council.
Councilman Ash Kalra said the city's "war" against its workers has made them feel unwelcome. While he conceded the city doesn't have the money to fully restore the pay cuts, he said the mayor should have made a promise to do so as soon as possible to give employees a reason to stay.
"If we can't do it in one year, at least let employees know we want to restore them to where they were a few years back," Kalra said. "To simply say we can't afford it, I think, is not going to stop the damage being done by very talented employees leaving our work force. His strategy to retain our work force is not enough."
Reed countered that the alternative to the pay and benefit cuts he had asked all city workers to take -- right up to himself, the city manager and council -- would have been even deeper layoffs. He noted many unions, including the police officers, agreed to the cuts to save jobs.
"The alternative was to lay off 150 police officers," Reed said. "That doesn't make it any easier to absorb 10 percent cuts, but we're better off because we'd have had even fewer officers than (we) have today."
Reed suggested increasing the budget and limit for overtime as a stopgap measure that could allow officers limited to six hours of overtime per two-week pay period to earn extra money. He also suggested one-time retention bonuses and signing incentives for cops who transfer to the city from other departments. And he wants to continue pushing to use reserve officers and civilians to stretch the capacity of the police force.
Reed further suggested adding additional salary "steps" for officers and other workers who have reached the top pay scale for their position as an alternative to across-the-board raises. He noted that many employees have continued to receive "step" raises as they advanced toward top pay for their position, while more veteran workers already at that level got no increases.
The proposals however didn't cheer Jim Unland, president of the San Jose Police Officers' Association, which has sought 16 percent raises over the next three years.
"Given the escalation in crime and violence in our city, we were expecting to hear bold leadership from the mayor, but instead we heard a whimper," Unland said. "The message contained in this budget is that Chuck Reed wants to rely on a rehash of tired ideas with no specifics and hope for the best. Many of the proposals made by the mayor are about as clear as mud and will do nothing to keep critical city workers on the job."

The GeForce GTX 460 saved Nvidia's hind last year when it hit the market at $200 (currently $150 for the 768MB version) beating the existing Radeon HD 5830, while simultaneously threatening the more affordable Radeon HD 5770.
Meanwhile, the 1GB version of the same card was offered for $230, greatly diminishing the Radeon HD 5850's value. Even with the eventual price cuts on AMD's side, we felt the GeForce GTX 460 was a deserving winner at the time, offering users the best bang for their buck.
AMD vowed to keep on top of Nvidia throughout 2010 and into 2011, so an overhaul was in order. AMD then launched its current-gen Radeon 6000 cards last October, with the Radeon HD 6850 and 6870 priced at $199 and $239 — suspiciously close to the GTX 460.
Despite the dubious naming scheme, the Radeon HD 6850 and 6870 weren't meant as replacements for the Radeon HD 5850 and 5870 previous-gen boards. In fact, depending on the game, the newer cards were slightly slower. AMD repositioned the new generation cards as mainstream offerings, saying these were intended to improve DirectX 11 performance and enhance display support.
Regardless of AMD's intentions, the Radeon HD 6850 and 6870 wound up ousting the 5870 and 5850 alongside the GTX 460 because they offered roughly the same performance at seriously discounted prices.
Looking at the market today, the Radeon HD 6850 remains one of the best options available to gamers shopping for a sub-$200 GPU, while the Radeon HD 6870 still commands the sub-$250 bracket with its only real competition coming from the GeForce GTX 560 Ti. It's not very often that we see mainstream-level GPUs settle down for long, in this case it appears there's nothing too big on the horizon and thus we were pleased to hear that HIS was preparing an update for all card versions this year.
The factory-overclocked 6870 IceQ X Turbo X and HIS Radeon HD 6850 IceQ X Turbo have upgraded coolers and are meant to be the fastest 6850 and 6870 graphics cards available out of the box — albeit at a premium price. The 6870 IceQ X Turbo X is currently retailing for $250, while the 6850 IceQ X Turbo costs $190. Being the inquisitive type, we're determined to see if the extra fee is worthwhile.
*Remember to click in the bottom right of an image to expand it.*
Benchmarks: CoD: Black Ops, Modern Warfare 2
The 6850 IceQ X Turbo was only slightly slower, producing an average of 81fps and clocking in at 5% faster than a standard Radeon HD 6850 as well as 1% faster than a standard HD 6870. Conversely, it was 8% slower than the GeForce GTX 460 and 21% slower than the GeForce GTX 560 Ti.
The HIS Radeon HD 6870 IceQ X Turbo X Crossfire configuration averaged 111fps at 2560x1600, making it 5% slower than the Radeon HD 6990 and 9% slower than the GeForce GTX 590. Meanwhile, it performed 56% better than the Radeon HD 6970 and 29% faster than the GeForce GTX 580.
Then we have the HIS Radeon HD 6850 IceQ X Turbo Crossfire cards which averaged 100fps, putting them 41% ahead of the Radeon HD 6970 and 16% ahead of the GeForce GTX 580. They were also 18% slower than the GeForce GTX 590 and 15% slower than the Radeon HD 6990.
The HIS Radeon HD 6870 IceQ X Turbo X squeezed out 60fps at 1920x1200 when testing with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Although it was 5% slower than the GeForce GTX 560 Ti and 19% slower than the GTX 570, HIS' overclocked card was 7% faster than a standard Radeon HD 6870.
Surprisingly, the HIS Radeon HD 6850 IceQ X Turbo was only 4fps slower with an average of 56fps, making it 12% faster than the GTX 460 and 6% faster than the HD 6850. Meanwhile, it matched the performance of the HD 6870 while it was 11% slower than the GTX 560 Ti.
With an average of 83fps at 2560x1600, the HIS Radeon HD 6870 IceQ X Turbo X Crossfire cards were 57% faster than the Radeon HD 6970 and 43% faster than the GTX 580. They were also 18% and 12% slower than the dual-GPU HD 6990 and GTX 590.
The HIS Radeon HD 6850 IceQ X Turbo Crossfire configuration averaged 71fps, or 34% faster than the HD 6970 and 22% faster than the GeForce GTX 580. At the same time, they were 30% slower than the HD 6990 and 24% slower than the GTX 590.
Overclocking Performance
Using the MSI AfterBurner overclocking utility, we were able to push the core clock of both graphics cards up to 1020MHz. The memory of the HIS 6870 worked at 1200MHz and the 6850 reached 1150MHz.
Our manually overclocked HIS Radeon HD 6870 IceQ X Turbo X produced 12% better performance in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 than the factory-overclocked configuration. However, the HIS Radeon HD 6850 IceQ X Turbo was just 6% faster once the maximum stable overclock was applied.
The HD 6870 IceQ X Turbo X was just 2% faster in Crysis Warhead once we overclocked further, while the HD 6850 IceQ X Turbo was 14% faster.
When testing the maximum stable overclocks in Battlefield Bad Company 2, we found the HD 6870 IceQ X Turbo X was 6% faster. The HD 6850 IceQ X Turbo has more ample gain room as it received a 14% performance increase versus the factory overclock.

SANTA CLARA -- The Jacksonville Jaguars' hiring of Dave Caldwell as their general manager Tuesday -- as first reported by Fox's Jay Glazer -- could increase speculation that his coach might become his former college roommate, 49ers offensive coordinator Greg Roman.
Mike Mularkey currently is under contract as the Jaguars' coach. Caldwell served the past year as the Atlanta Falcons' director of player personnel, having spent the previous four seasons as their director of college scouting.
Caldwell and Roman attended John Carroll University together in the 1990s.
Considering Caldwell's ties to the NFC playoffs' top-seeded Falcons, Roman tried to keep his distance in comments about the two.
"Dave's in Atlanta, so we might end up playing them, so I'm not really talking to Dave right now," Roman quipped.
Asked if he received any interest from clubs with coaching vacancies last week -- when such teams are allowed to interview playoff teams on first-round byes, as the 49ers were -- Roman replied: "I'm not going to talk about any of that stuff. I'm focused on the Packers."
Roman is in his second season as the 49ers' offensive coordinator and primary play caller. He's been a candidate for multiple college coaching jobs in recent seasons.
A defensive lineman at John Carroll in 1990-93, Roman got his coaching start in 1995 as the Carolina Panthers' defensive quality control coach and strength-and-conditioning assistant. He served on the Panthers' staff in various other roles until 2002, when he began a four-season stint with the Houston Texans.
Roman worked as the Baltimore Ravens' assistant offensive line coach in 2006-07 before joining Jim Harbaugh's Stanford staff in 2009, serving as the running-game coordinator and working primarily with the Cardinal's tight ends and offensive tackles.
There are five head-coaching vacancies in the NFL: the Cleveland Browns, San Diego Chargers, Arizona Cardinals, Chicago Bears and Philadelphia Eagles.

A Brief History of the A's baseball club.
1901-1950 Team founded as Philadelphia Athletics, part of new American Baseball League. Cornelius "Connie Mack" McGillicuddy owned and ran the team for 50 years. During that time they won the World Series in 1910, 1911, 1913, 1929 and 1930. The club adopted the elephant mascot a year after its founding when rival New York Giants owner John McGraw called the team a "white elephant."
1955-1967 With the team struggling financially, Mack approves sale to Chicago businessman Arnold Johnson, who moves the A's to Kansas City, Mo., for the 1955 season. After his sudden death five years later, fellow Chicago-area businessman Charles O. Finley buys a controlling interest in the team from Johnson's estate and makes failed bids to move it to Texas, Kentucky and California. He also changes the team's colors from blue, red and white to green, yellow and white. With performance and attendance flagging, Finley secures approval to move the A's to the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, which opened two years earlier as home of the Raiders football team, for the 1968 season.
1968-1980 The A's prospered on the field in their new home, winning three consecutive World Series from 1972 to 1974 with stars including Reggie Jackson and Rollie Fingers. But attendance remained anemic. Finley explored possible A's moves to Chicago, New Orleans and Denver but was blocked by his Coliseum lease. In 1980 he sold the team to Levi Strauss & Co. president Walter Haas.
1981-1995 A's attendance rose with the departure of the Raiders for Los Angeles, and field performance improved with such star players as Jose Canseco, Mark McGwire and Dennis Eckersley. The A's swept their cross-bay rival Giants in the 1989 World Series, interrupted by the Loma Prieta Earthquake. After Haas' death, local real estate developers Steve Schott and Ken Hofmann buy the A's in 1995.
1996-2004 The Raiders' return to the Oakland Coliseum sours the A's relationship with local political leaders. The new owners begin floating relocation, possibly to San Jose. The team's strong performance under General Manager Billy Beane -- making the playoffs from 2000 through 2003 -- using statistical analyses inspired author Michael Lewis' 2003 book Moneyball, and a film version starring Brad Pitt in 2011. Relocation talk continues.
2005-present Los Angeles-based real estate developer Lew Wolff, who had worked with the A's on plans for a new stadium, buys the team with Gap clothing heir John J. Fisher. Wolff has a long history with San Jose, where he owns the Fairmont hotel and recently purchased the Sainte Claire Hotel. Wolff soon unveils a proposal for a new privately financed ballpark in Oakland but it goes nowhere. Also in 2005, San Jose's then-mayor Ron Gonzales urges pursuit of a downtown ballpark to lure the A's. Wolff in November 2006 announces Fremont ballpark plan but cancels it in February 2009. San Jose leaders immediately revive ballpark effort. In March 2009, baseball Commissioner Bud Selig calls for a committee to explore the A's ballpark options.

McCONNELSVILLE -Sobs broke out on both sides of the courtroom Thursday evening as a Morgan County jury returned guilty verdicts on 21 of the 22 charges against former Stockport mayor Michael "Shane" Shuster.
Shuster, 39, of 1800 South St., Stockport, showed little emotion as the jury foreman read through the list and stooped to scribble down notes as the verdicts were read aloud-guilty on eight counts of gross sexual imposition, seven counts of sexual battery and six out of seven counts of rape.
Shuster, who was elected as Stockport mayor in November 2011, was arrested just two months after taking office, after a female relative told friends at school that Shuster had been engaging in sexual relations with her. The allegations stemmed back to 2006, when the victim would have been 10 years old.

JASMINE ROGERS The Marietta Times
Before being taken into custody, former Stockport Mayor Shane Shuster is given time to speak with a family member following his jury trial Thursday in Morgan County Common Pleas Court. A jury found Shuster guilty of 21 of the 22 counts against him involving a sexual relationship with a juvenile family member that spanned a six-year time frame.
Shuster has been incarcerated since his March 7, 2012 arrest, said his defense counsel, Athens-based attorney Rick Hedges.
Hedges argued throughout the trial that Shuster is a good man. But he was also an authority figure to the victim-a strict disciplinarian, whose rules were a source of contention for the victim.
"She admitted she didn't like his rules. She was mad at him. She went to school and she made some unfounded accusations," said Hedges during closing arguments Thursday.

- July 6: Shuster's bond is lowered from $1 million to $500,000 at the request of then-defense attorney Rolf Baumgartel.
- December: Athens-based attorney Rick Hedges takes over as defense attorney for Shuster.
- Monday: Shuster's trial begins on 22 of the 30 counts of the indictment. Eight counts were thrown out by the court.
- Thursday: A jury finds Shuster guilty on 21 of the 22 counts against him. The one not guilty verdict was in reference to the most recent rape, which was alleged to have happened while he was serving as mayor.
Her motive, argued Hedges, was "16-year-old freedom" from the authoritative role Shuster played in her life.
Hedges also pointed to the lack of physical evidence on the case. One witness, a nurse practitioner from Children's Hospital in Columbus who examined the victim after the allegations came to light, testified that there was no physical evidence of rape. However, she also testified that a lack of physical evidence is not uncommon in cases of sexual abuse.
The first count, one of gross sexual imposition took place sometime between October and December of 2006. The final allegation, which carried charges of gross sexual imposition, sexual battery, and rape, took place sometime between Dec. 26, 2011 and Jan. 23, 2012, when Shuster would have begun serving as mayor.
Attorney Marianne Hemmeter, a prosecutor with the state Attorney General's office, said during interviews with deputies from the Morgan County Sheriff's Office Shuster never denied the abuse.
"You can read through these transcripts. He doesn't make one denial," she said.
Rather, Hemmeter and Morgan County Prosecutor Mark Howdyshell painted Shuster as someone who manipulated the victim into silent submission and continued to try to manipulate deputies and his wife after the charges were made.
Several letters Shuster wrote to his wife while incarcerated were submitted into evidence. The correspondence included love letters, proving Shuster had never harbored feelings or attraction for anyone else, let alone the victim, said Hedges.
The prosecution countered that they were filled with sly attempts at manipulating his wife into providing bail money or talking the victim out of her allegations.
"Are you trying to spare all this?" read Hemmeter from one letter Shuster wrote to his wife, going on to ask what she was doing in order to stop the case and any discomfort it was causing the family.
"Let's say something happens to me," it read. "You really want (the victim) to have to live with that?"
In another, he wrote that he had planned to buy her pearls for their next anniversary.
However, Shuster's wife filed for divorce in June.
Shuster was indicted in March 2012 on 30 charges-10 each for rape, sexual battery and gross sexual imposition-but eight of those charges were thrown out by the court for insufficient evidence, said Noble County Common Pleas Court Judge John Nau.
Nau took over the case for Morgan County Common Pleas Court Judge Dan Favreau who recused himself in October.
The four woman, eight man jury returned the verdict Thursday after four days of trial and after five hours of deliberation. The final not guilty verdict was in relation to the last rape allegation, the one which was said to have taken place while Shuster was mayor.
Hedges said he and Shuster have not discussed plans for an appeal.
The 21 guilty verdicts mean Shuster could face life in prison. A sentencing date has not yet been determined.

The Daily Startup: Plastiq Funded to Help People Charge Big-Ticket Items
Top stories in today's VentureWire:
Plastiq has raised $6 million in a Series A round led by Atlas Venture and Flybridge Capital Partners, to help people use credit cards in situations where they normally wouldn't be able to, such as to pay for tuition, purchase boats, cars or real estate. Earlier investors also participated, notably Harvey Golub, former American Express chairman and chief executive. Despite its moniker, Plastiq provides an all-digital experience, not an alternative to a physical credit card. Through Plastiq's apps, users pay a low fee–less than 2%–per purchase in order to be able to use credit cards conveniently where they can't otherwise.
Romulus Capital is rounding up $50 million for a second fund that will pursue an early-stage strategy that was unusual three years ago but is now commonplace, VentureWire has learned. Romulus, which closed fund one in 2009 after raising money from individuals and family offices, invested that $1 million pool in 17 technology and health-care startups like E la Carte, whose tablets are used in restaurants to take customers' orders. Each company remains operational and several have attracted new investors, said General Partner Neil Chheda.
Also in today's VentureWire, VirtualWorks Group says it's back on track with new software products, nearly two years after missing its first product launch with no public explanation of what happened…Pittsburgh-based Draper Triangle Ventures closed $40 million from current limited partners toward its third fund, after about a year of fundraising, according to co-founder and Managing Director Mike Stubler…and Social mobile gaming company Red Hot Labs has raised $1.5 million from Andreessen Horowitz, Greylock Partners and other investors. The six-person company has also built a game platform it says cuts development time for new games in half.

Celebrity chef Paula Deen admitted in a recorded deposition that she used the N-word, told racist jokes and planned a slavery-themed wedding, according to multiple reports.
Fox News reported the May 17 deposition was part of a $1.2 million lawsuit brought by Lisa Jackson, the former manager of a Savannah, Georgia, restaurant run by Deen and her brother Bubba Hiers.
Jackson alleges Deen used the N-word at the restaurant and that Hiers sexually harassed her.
Wait ... with a name like Bubba, how could that be true?
In the deposition, Deen reportedly replied, "Yes, of course," when asked if she used the N-word.
Deen also supposedly admitted telling racist jokes. "It's just what they are -- they're jokes. Most jokes are about Jewish people, rednecks, black folks... I can't determine what offends another person."
That's probably the most ironic thing Paula Deen has ever said.
Jackson said alleges Deen wanted African-American employees to act like slaves for a wedding she was planning.
Yes, you read that right.
Deen said she got the idea from a restaurant where "the whole entire waiter staff was middle-aged black men, and they had on beautiful white jackets with a black bow tie," the National Enquirer reported, quoting her as saying, "I mean, it was really impressive. That restaurant represented a certain era in America ... after the Civil War, during the Civil War, before the Civil War ... It was not only black men, it was black women... I would say they were slaves."
I'm sure all those people agreed it was "beautiful."
The report also claimed her brother admitted to calling President Obama the N-word.
Deen has not commented on the reports.

WARNING: The author of this tutorial takes no responsibility for you breaking your computer, initializing your harddrive, making a dumb-ugly image, or anything else that may happen if you take this blog too seriously. Remember what your mom said. "If everyone else jumped off of a cliff, would you?" If your answer was "Yes!", then you deserve what you get.
Feeling brave, I decide to open up Blender. The 3D drawing tool. I have been meaning to learn how to use this program since it was released under an open license. People talk about how you can do animation with it and all kinds of neat stuff. I want to make a 3D icon of myself that I can use on forums like "Second Life". In my mind it's really cool. Just "bim, bam, boom" and there I am beautiful, strong, sexy. Think Ghost in the Shell. The image in my mind is really clear. I've read a few tutorials so I think that I'm ready.
The first thing that I do is I select Blender from the menu. The loading symbol comes up. I'm pretty confident, imagining my icon rotating slowly around as I wait. Then the main blender window pops up and my first reaction is.
I turn to my husband and say, "I thought that you told me that they had improved the interface to make it easier to understand." He replies, "I guess you don't remember the old interface then."
I turn back to the screen and after my heartbeat settles down to a reasonable pace, I remember the goal. Beautiful, animated, 3-D icon. Yes, that's right.
Now what?
It feels claustrophobic. I need to look at another window, any other window. That's ok, I have four virtual terminals on my machine now, just click to another and cool down... that's right...
Then I notice that there are no virtual terminals. The program is running in full screen mode. THERE IS NO WAY OUT! I look for the little 'x' at the top of the window, but there is no 'x'!
Wait, wait, deep breaths. I can see a little triangle at the top next to a menu that says file. I click the triangle. The menu goes away. OH NO!
I click the triangle again. The menu comes back. Good. Now, I can close down Blender.
The first thing that I need to do is get Blender to come up in a window so that I can escape when it gets overwhelming. I go to a terminal window and type:
blender --help
Scanning the result, the listing says:
Window options: -w Force opening with borders
Does that mean open it in a window?Heck it's worth a try, so I use the KDE menu editor to make the program open using the
-w option.
Now when I start Blender I can still see the KDE menu bar. HA HA!
I take a look around. On the top bar I see an '
i', and the menu with options
render, and
help. There's more, but I blot it out for the time being. On the bottom is a criss-cross hash of lines and more menu items,
object, etc.
I close my eyes and remember the tutorials. It all seemed so easy then, reading about it, but in the face of this, I've forgotten everything.
Just Click It
*chuckles* that's how I felt the first time I opened the Gimp. I guess it's a matter of getting into it... At least you got further into it than I did in 3D Studio Max... Looking forward to your next post.
A computer is like air conditioning: it becomes useless when you open windows.
BlenderNation post
Hi Rosalyn,
great post! I reported about your struggle today on blendernation.com. Hopefully you'll get some good pointers there for your next episode :)
Wow, you should see the thread now
Actually, a lot of people 'got' the article. But it's kind of devolved into the no sense of humor, defensive, 'don't talk bad about my favorite program' crowd.
I'm starting to realize that there's some real cultural conflicts here. Some people are extremely threatened by this kind of thing, and that's a bizarre phenomenon in itself.
Can't wait to see what the next installments do. I know they're already in the pipe.
Yes. I thought that it might
Yes. I thought that it might go this way and I had initially added a few lines about to warn against that. Still, I decided to give it a try and see where this went :)
I'll probably report on the next installment(s) as well, but I'll try to give a bit more guidance for a discussion in the article.
I agree that it'll be interesting to see what is going to happen..
I'm just glad I finally
I'm just glad I finally figured out how to 'unsubscribe'.
I kept getting posts in my mailbox, and the temptation to post was just too strong. ;-)
But I started feeling like a troll towards the end there. Best to avoid it. (And of course, there was the "physically restrained from posting" part. ;-) ).
Fond memories
Haha, Don't you just remember that first time. Eight million buttons all of which referred to functions I didn't know existed. "what in the sphincter hell is a normal", "what is a uv" etc. I'm glad I didn't give up though and the whole subject of blendernizing just became more and more fascinating. I downloaded the package just to do some stars I needed for a background plate. Now Blender is my main squeeze at night. I just broke up with my video editor too now that Blender's saying "I can do that you know" Good story Rosalyn, brings it all back. :-) ho ho ho
I cant wait till this is all a memory
I've been using the Noob to Pro Tut on Wikibooks. And I still feel like a blender virgin. I'm doing things now, besides moving a box around in space! I made a really ugly body looking thing. I'm glad I ran across this site!! I've played with blender on and off for a long time (I said played, I mean, downloaded, opened, got confused and uninstalled.) I'm now sticking too it and I'm going to learn the program even if it drives me crazy!
improving interface
Learning how to use Blender is obviously difficult. It took me about a month to fell confortable with the interface and a year to reach my primary goal: create a face with materials and textures. But I fell now that the pain was justified. Blender is a powerful programm with huge possibilities.
Meanwhile, as a teacher attempting to learn the soft to young students, I think it would be a great step forward to elaborate a lighter version more ergonomic.
It is probably the most difficult thing to do: make something complex easy and simple to use and understand.

Wednesday June 20, 2012
Augusta, Ga--When Ashley Harden left the Butler football team, he left the program in good shape. Turned a perennial loser into a team that believes they could win. Now the reins have been turned over to Myron Newton to continue the recent success.
Newton hasn't had a ton of time with the kids and has only been here about three weeks. He even says he doesn't have every thing moved from Coffee County yet. But Newton is looking forward to the challenge and has been impressed with how hard the kids are working now knowing they can win ballgames and win a bunch of them.
You know the kids are working hard" said new coach Myron Newton "That sticks out, that jumps right out at me. They're working hard so that makes me get on my horse right away. Coming in, you hear a lot of things, and I'm coming from south Georgia where we eat, breathe and sleep football, so coming in, I don't know how the kids are and you hear about the football and they've been great."
Newton will still have his work cut out seeing the Bulldogs lost a good senior contingent. But so far, he likes the effort he's seeing.

Fort Boreman developing handicapped accessible trail
January 8, 2013
PARKERSBURG — Wood County parks director Jeremy Cross said the design for a new trail at Fort Boreman Hill Park should be completed within the next two weeks....
I can understand a fee being implemented. However, the fee should be adjusted according to the user. A family wanting a reunion a lower fee, a organization wanting a picnic or outing a larger fee. A wedding a fee, especially when they try and take over the entire area. I was there one time with friend from out of town, to show them the park. We could not even get to the overlook, a wedding party had it set up with chairs canopies and all their wedding things plus a couple shelters. All this for FREE.. no way. I do feel $100 is way out of line, for a family reunion or a b'day party for kids. The funds should not go to increase Cross's wages either.

OAKLAND -- As several monumental figures of the civil rights movement commemorated the 50th anniversary of the Senate's passage of the Civil Rights Act on Wednesday night in North Oakland, they urged the community to never forget the struggles that preceded the law's historic passage.
"It's good to celebrate (banishing) subordination, discrimination and racism, but when you win a victory like that we don't want to celebrate too much," said Clayborne Carson, director of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Research and Education Institute at Stanford University.
Clayborne was joined on the panel by Howard Moore, Jr., who was the top lawyer for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee in the 1960s; renowned Oakland activist Angela Davis, whom Moore once defended; and Elaine Brown, who led the Black Panther Party in the mid-1970s. A packed house at Beebe Memorial Cathedral listened and responded with laughter and rowdy applause during the more than two hours of reflections on the road that led to the act's passage.
Alameda County Supervisor Keith Carson, an organizer of the event, presented Moore, 82, with a Freedom Warrior medal in honor of his contributions to the struggle to promote anti-discrimination laws.
"We commend (Moore) for his unwavering commitment to the pursuit of liberty and justice for all, for dedicating his life to the unending struggle for freedom and equality for all," said Carson.
Davis added: "The Civil Rights Act would have been absolutely inconceivable without Howard Moore."
Carson, 65, recalled a time when segregation and discrimination were rampant in Oakland.
"We couldn't go to restaurants in Jack London Square, they wouldn't even hire us as dishwashers," said Carson, who is black. He recalled the 4,800 black people lynched based solely on accusations of wrongdoing and the millions held in slavery.
"That was the beginning of the destruction of the black family: when black men were stolen from their families," he said. "We must recommit ourselves to (current) struggles because while they happened 50 years ago, the struggles continue today."
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a landmark bill outlawing racial segregation and discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin. It passed the House of Representatives in February 1964 and the Senate on June 19, 1964. President Lyndon Johnson signed it into law July 2.
Grammy Award-winning musician D'wayne Wiggins and violinist Tarika Lewis performed at the event, and excerpts were shown from a PBS documentary about the 1964 Freedom Summer, when hundreds of students and activists flocked to segregated Mississippi to help register African-Americans to vote. The documentary airs at 9 p.m. Tuesday.
Davis, 70, said it was the "collective energy and collective perseverance that generated courage."

Songs by Debut Year:
This show was part of the "1990 Tour."
The fun is back in the second set with My Sweet One and Dinner/Movie. Tweezer is pretty badass. It gets really wild and heavy for a couple minutes there. The deaccelerando and return are executed well. Not surprisingly, Divided Sky is much better here as well, except that Trey seems to start to run out of ideas toward the end of the jam. Love You is good; Fish lays down a fun trombone solo. Mike's is great, lots of energy. Hydrogen is Hydrogen and then the energy picks back up in Paug, which sees some craziness from Trey (that I believe may constitute some "Machine Gun Trey", thoughts?). A polar opposites encore wraps this one up.
The energy in this show is very high and inviting. An okay jam for a fairly early Reba, a fun YEM jam/vocal jam, a nice Lizards, a nice early Tweezer, a good Divided Sky, some good 'ol fashioned Henrietta Love You, a tasty Mike's Groove, and a very interesting pairing for the encore puts this show, IMO, at about 3.3-3.5 stars. I don't think I can quite justify putting in a 4 star rating, so I'm gonna go with 3.

Did you suffer a head wound, or an infection such as meningitis, a physical ailment like a stroke, or exposure to workplace chemicals that resulted in permanent brain damage, TBI, or MTBI, and it wasn't your fault? The brain is without question, the most vital bodily organ. It is essential to cognitive function, maintaining normal human emotions, and in performing daily tasks. Damage to this highly susceptible organ means things we take for granted like balance, breathing, restful sleep, typing, smelling, seeing, hearing and tasting can all be thrown out of whack.
If you are a brain injury victim and off kilter, unable to work, and have huge stress from that pile of bills stacking up, you may want to speak to a brain injury attorney to understand your potential legal options as a victim. Ehline Law Firm PC assists victims of tragic accidents who are trying to recover the financial losses brought about by their unfortunate mishap. Our long list of achievements below, is second to none.
Some of the afflicted casualties we have represented, have been awarded multi-million dollar settlements and wins in court. We have helped victims win money for suffering sustained in auto accidents and other terrible catastrophes. Our brain injury lawyers are brilliant tacticians, who really know how to plan and execute a substantial and successful outcome for the plaintiff who is down on his luck. Let our firm raise your spirits and confidence, and help get your life back on track.
Accidents Causing Brain Injury
Accidents and other similarly shocking events causing intensive brain injuries, usually have a devastating impact on the lives of individuals and their families. Typically, the head impacts and other diseases and infections causing these injuries come with permanent, negative health issues such as the cognitive impairment doctors often see present in traumatic or mild traumatic brain injuries.
Living in extreme pain, In most cases, incidents of head wounds could have been mitigated or prevented if someone had not been reckless or negligent. In others, such as when The local Orange County, and Los Angeles head injury lawyers at Ehline Law Firm PC, are in the business of helping those individuals who have suffered injuries involving the head and brain resulting from devastating and preventable events.
We represent victims who suffered many injuries to the organ known as the brain and the protective casing known as the cranium as follows:
- Smashed Skull;
- Hit in the Head;
- Wrongful Death;
- Shaken Baby Syndrome;
- Trauma to the Head;
- Skull Fracture from Bicycle and Motor Cycle Accidents;
- Recreational and Amusement Park Accidents;
- Other Blunt Head Trauma From Forceful Collisions;
- Birthing Related Injury;
- Lesions, Bleeding and Lesions From Assault and Battery;
The pivotal factor in discovering a top-notch brain injury lawyer is doing your homework. Go online and look at their record of success, client and peer reviews, and see if they have some big wins. It is one thing to talk the talk, but does this lawyer also walk the walk? Winning big, follow through, and pride in their practice, are dependable indicators of how a head injury attorney may perform in a future claim.
Ehline Law Firm PC has successfully administered insurance and court claims in thousands of catastrophic injuries as members of the bar. We have amassed an impressive achievement rate for our past clients, ranging from the hundreds of thousands of dollars and up the scale to the millions.
A main factor in our striking victories, is our company of passionate, competent team members. We are very careful with our case selection process and make our money off the cases we don't take. In other words, we do extensive fact finding to delve into the merits and integrity of a potential new case and client before we sign it up. We are not simple ambulance chasers.
We are highly selective and only want the cream of crop as part of our client case load. This is why we closely look at witness reports, medical files, and other investigative evidence. This helps us understand legal framework of a potential lawsuit like defenses, jury instructions, and theories of liability.
Rest assured that when we take on a case, it will be meritorious, and will be handled with the precision of a brain surgeon.

Without going into too much detail here, impacts and trauma to your skull and neck region can cause you a serious clinically described conditions such as subdermalhematoma, a concussion, swelling and water on the brain,hemorrhage, intracranial pressure; coupled with swelling that can become global hypoxia, anoxic brain injury or hypoxic brain injury (See below). There are many other types of problems such as loss of mental ability which can interfere with faculty of reason, feelings, thoughts and analysis factors. Sometimes the injury producing event can lead to a coma, persistent vegetative state, or the courthouse steps in the form of a wrongful death lawsuit.
Understanding the Brain
There are many aspects of the brain that must be understood when determining what approach to take as follows:
- Human Brain Injury Anatomy
- Skull Fractures
- Diffuse Axonal Injuries (DAI)
- Concussions and Contusions
- Anoxic Brain Injuries
- Contrecoup
- Subdural Hematoma
- Epidural Hematoma [1. Learn more about brain mechanism of injury and types here]
- Intracerebral Hemorrhage
Serious brain injury is often life long and may require at home nursing care and gadgets and devices to assist the person in his medical treatment, not to mention medication. Our Los Angeles and Orange County Brain Injury attorneys have vast legal experience in brain injury lawsuits. Our legal counsel specialize in helping the victim manage his or her care to maximize the total compensatory award for special and general damages.
For example, a victim should be keeping a day in the life journal, or "diary", documenting their day to day struggles with memory loss, pain, etc. Vigorous case management maximizes potential economic recovery. For it to be just, it needs to look at the given circumstances of each case. Our job is present that case to the insurance adjustor, or judge, in a light most favorable to you.

Our personal injuries involving the brain firm makes sure to get you medical and economic experts who will assist you in evaluating the lifetime care plan for things like prescription drugs, doctors, transportation and full time nursing care, or even nursing facilities. We seek out everyone who was negligent and responsible.
Whether they acted with malicious intent, whether guilty of medical malpractice, poorly made or designed, defective products, or they were a nurse, or caregiver. These persons are all potentially insured, which means there is potentially money somewhere to cover you. While their insurance companies will fight to pay you as little as possible, we will seek to obtain maximum compensation on your behalf. Having the right advocate who is also a "rainmaker," means maximizing the final sum.
Because the science involved in serious brain injuries is evolving constantly, you need to retain lawyers who have extensive experience in this field of law and science. These cases will typically require psychological testing by the best medical experts in the field. If need be, and we exhaust your personal injury protection (PIP) coverage, we can go to trial.

Friday's letters: Emulating others
Published: Friday, December 14, 2012 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, December 12, 2012 at 6:50 p.m.
To the editor: Is arrogance a part of American exceptionalism? Was Winston Churchill correct in observing that we will always do the right thing but only after we have tried all the others?
In late May, using solar energy, Germany set a record unmatched anywhere in the world. It produced nearly half its midday electrical requirement. Why Germany and not our country? We have 3,900 percent more sun than Germany, but it has 6,000 percent more solar power than do we.
Should we not seek to emulate successes derived from policies of other countries, policies that are different from our own? The German solar achievement is but one area where case studies of successes achieved in other countries might lead to the revision of some of our government policies.
Corporate taxation, health care, anti-poverty efforts and education come to mind as areas of suggested study in that problems with each seem to have been overcome by some other nations. Too often, the U.S. seems to be on the low end of the stick in numerous OECD and other reports where comparable data are available.
Case studies have long been important to business management. Why not to the management of government affairs?
Harold Hellickson
Bailout scheme
To the editor: Assurances? The Henderson County Commissioners are considering giving away our tax money to the Flat Rock Playhouse, a nonprofit that shouldnt be getting our tax money in the first place, on assurances? What kind of a business plan is that? What happened to stewardship of our tax money?
Again, like D.C., they picked winners and losers with a bailout that amounts to theft of our tax money. The mismanagement and insolvency of a nonprofit is now made solvent on the backs of hard-earned taxpayer money. Theyve assured me theyre going to make financial changes, and thats all I wanted; just throwing $50,000 out there, that was like spitting in the ocean. Larry Young, really? They should hang their collective heads in great shame on this one, should they go through with this scheme.
Next election, we will remember the redistribution of our tax money on assurances! Great! I hope to see the many businesses on Main Street and across the county that are in a world of financial hurt and my fellow taxpayers struggling to make ends meet at the meeting in January to voice their collective joy at bailing out a nonprofit at their expense.
Jane Bilello
No communist
To the editor: Ive seen too many letters calling Barack Obama a communist. He is no such thing. I knew the real deal when I was younger, and he is nothing like them.
Perhaps the writers of these letters do not realize that the Cold War ended almost a quarter-century ago. Our side won. Today even China and Cuba are moving toward capitalism because capitalism works and communism does not. People still worrying about communists fear boogeymen under their beds. I was, at times, tempted to call Mitt Romney a fascist, but I know better.
What the American electorate did was what it usually does, which is to reject political extremes where it comes to national elections. Thats why Barry Goldwater and George McGovern lost. The GOP needs to go beyond the narrow ideology of the tea party and welcome into its ranks political moderates and progressives, and it needs to reach out to minorities. Otherwise it will continue to lose.
I saw Lincoln last night. It was a reminder that real politics requires compromise, even on the part of idealists. As Otto von Bismarck said, Laws are like sausages. It is better not to see how they are made.

Cold front may bring severe weather to West Alabama
Published: Monday, December 10, 2012 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, December 9, 2012 at 9:30 p.m.
A cold front is expected to come through West Alabama this morning, bringing with it a chance of thunderstorms and severe weather. Although there is a very low chance of tornadoes, the cold front that will be making its way through Alabama today will bring rain and thunderstorms to West Alabama between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m., said Mary Keiser, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Birmingham.
The storms will likely bring gusty, straight line winds. This afternoon, the temperatures will likely drop into the 50s and 40s, with a low in the 30s on tonight. Areas northwest of Tuscaloosa County, including Fayette, could even see some temperatures in the upper 20s tonight. Temperatures will likely start to warm through the week, although the low temperatures in the 20s and 30s will continue through Wednesday night, Keiser said.

Storing and Displaying Coins
To keep the value of your collection safe, here are four standards you should follow:
Storage Options
Flips are clear plastic holders with two pockets - one for the coin, the other for a label. Some flips, such as those made of Mylar®, are good for storing coins but can be a little stiff and brittle. When you put a coin into a flip or take it out, "bow" the flip to avoid scratching the coin - press both edges gently to make a wide opening for the coin.
Soft plastic holders aren't always a better alternative. You definitely want to avoid them if they contain polyvinyl chloride (PVC). This chemical, used to make plastics softer, will take a valuable coin and turn it into a sticky, worthless mess. How? Over time, the sticky film spreads from the container to your coin, eating into its surface. For this reason, it's been nicknamed "green slime."
Other good storage choices include:

With one way in and out, recent flooding in the Happy Hollow community in Livingston caused some major problems.
"I had several four wheelers and everything else go floating off, even my dog house," says Irving Brown, a Happy Hollow resident.
Irvin Brown has lived in the area for 20 years. With damaged insulation, carpet and heating and air units, residents such as Brown are left with thousand of dollars of damaged and insurance to cover it.
"I really don't understand what's going on," says Patrick Harris. The city engineer says we do not live in a flood area. Our insurance agents say we do. The only thing we can do is to pay for a survey and we really don't have money for that."
Residents say problem is that the area which they live in has become somewhat of a "watershed."
Located right behind the Happy Hollow community there is a large opening underneath some train tracks. When the Succanooche River rises residents say the water pours into their yards. With this opening and two others similar to it further down the tracks, residents say Happy Hollow has become a storage area for the city's unwanted water. However, city officials say this is not the problem.
"I had the National Weather Service out of Birmingham here and National River Forecasting Center and they toured the railroad tracks, nearby bridge construction and other affected areas and they say those things did not cause the flooding in Happy Hollow. Instead they say it was because we received 10 inches of rain one week and two weeks later another seven inches of rain," says City Administrator Joe Chance.
Meanwhile, to deter flooding across the lone road leading into Happy Hollow, city officials say they plan to apply for grants to pay to raise the road to a higher elevation. This is something residents say they can't wait to see happen.
"I'm hopeful, but even a parrot can talk," says Brown. "I'm waiting to see what they actually do!"

Portia Tibbs is taking steps to help control her cholesterol. She's also taking cholesterol-lowering statins, just like millions of other people.
"I don't really like taking medicine, but I have to."
Now, because of the so-called Jupiter study, many doctors are urging some people with normal cholesterol to start taking them too. Jupiter tested more than 15-thousand people who had normal LDL levels and high levels of an inflammation biomarker. For the group taking statins:
"There was between a 40 and 50 percent reduction in the risk of the things we really care about, like death, stroke, heart attack," said Steven E. Nissen M.D., F.A.C.C., Chairman Department of Cardiovascular Medicine Cleveland Clinic.
After less than two years, the five year study was cut short because of those findings. Cleveland Clinic Cardiologist Steven Nissen says the study changed the way he practices medicine. He says before the results, he and a lot of other doctors occasionally did blood tests for inflammation.
"Well, we're making that measurement more often now."
Doctors may use the results to prescribe statins to prevent heart disease. But U-C San Diego's Doctor Beatrice Golomb says it's not known with longer-term use and in real world users, whether the benefits outweigh the real risks.
"Portrayed as being so fantastically safe it should be put in the water supply. In real world use this drug causes problems not infrequently," said Beatrice Alexandra Golomb, M.D., Ph.D., Associate Professor of Medicine, U.C. San Diego School of Medicine.
Golomb tells us that while some people benefit from statins, others have reported symptoms similar to Alzheimer's. Muscle weakness, nerve damage and cognitive problems have also been issues for people in the Jupiter study.
"There was evidence of a significant increase in incident diabetes."
She wants to see more studies on the drug's long-term effects on patients with inflammation, but Doctor Nissen still believe that in most cases, statins work.
"It's taken more to convince others and I respect people who are cautious."

I just returned home after spending a very therapeutic weekend with my best friend. Lots of belly laughs and long talks into the wee hours have left me relaxed and ready to face the new year. She really is my human Prozac.
I like to pre-make some of the meals when I travel to see her, because it allows for less time in the kitchen and more talk time. Food is never the focus during our get-togethers, but hey, ya gotta eat. I made this curried chicken salad before I left home and we enjoyed it for lunch yesterday.
Curried Chicken Salad
1 cup light mayo
1 1/2 tsp curry powder
juice of 1/2 lime
salt and pepper to taste
3 cups cooked chicken breast, cubed or shredded
1 stalk celery, small dice
1/2 cup onion, small dice
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup toasted pecans, roughly chopped
Combine mayo, curry powder, and lime juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Stir in chicken, celery, onion, cranberries and pecans. Combine well. Chill well before serving.
