Over the past 2 days I've been seeing a DLNA Error 2114 whenever I attempt to access the media server on my PS3. The PS3 can see the server just fine, but it can't load the directory structure. I've included the debug log below; it seems to be a linker issue with Java? I'm fairly certain it started when Java updated to Update 7 Version 65, but it could just be a coincidence...
Too long to post here.
Edit: I suppose I should mention that I'm running on Windows 8.1 and using PMS 1.90.1.
Edit2: Another user posted the same issue a few months ago and the issue was never resolved (see: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=17864&p=83025&hilit=2114#p83025).
Edit 3: A full uninstall and re-install of both PMS and Java did not resolve anything.

Hi all...Tara here.
So for Thanksgiving this year, we met up with Lauren and Angela (who was visiting from Florida!!) for Thanksgiving dinner. Early last week, Lauren and I struggled to figure out where we'd eat dinner. We wanted to find a place at least RELATIVELY close to being halfway between San Diego and Orange County so neither of us would have to drive exceptionally far. Well...we came up with Gordon's at the Lake San Marcos Resort and Country Club.
I think my first indication that this was a bad idea should have been a) It was a buffet b) It was at a country club in SAN MARCOS (just a quick FYI to those not in the know...kind of an old fashioned area) and c) The price per person was more like $25 as opposed to all other restaurants, which were $50 and above. Alas, we both figured this was the closest we'd get to "halfway" between us. And on our merry way we went....(View map marker for restaurant location relative to our homes.)
Upon arrival, this is what we saw (take note of the tables in the dining room BEHIND Justin):
Now, keep in mind, 4pm is not an odd time to have dinner on Thanksgiving. But, you'd honestly think we were there for the early bird special (get it? Bird? Turkey? Ha ha.). The multitude of people over the age of 65 even led Angela to wonder out loud if we, too, would be granted the senior citizen discount.
Alas, this just provided for some laughs. We visited the buffet way too many times....along with many of the other sprite restaurant guests...
And we were the cutest people there....
What more can you wish for???? HAPPY THANKSGIVING everyone!

These days, when one talks about free software, the first word that comes to mind is Linux—be it the kernel or a distribution based on it (which would then be a GNU/Linux operating system, and its flavour marked by a brand name: Red Hat, SuSE, Mandriva, Debian, Ubuntu, Slackware...)
At one time, there was another project worthy of note: BeOS. It wasn't POSIX-compatible, but it was neat. But now, only free *NIX prevail... really?
Enter ReactOS.
Another viable free software operating system—help wanted
ReactOS overview
ReactOS is an old project. It actually started around 1996, but started producing code only recently. It aims at implementing all of win32 according to specs, be it hardware or software.
Yes folks, it means that ReactOS would basically run all of Microsoft Windows' drivers and applications natively.
Right now, the project is about to get out of a long phase of code review—due to some alleged unclean code—and is pushing out the first release candidate for a version 0.3.0.
But what can you do with it right now?
OpenOffice.org runs on it—so does Firefox, Thunderbird, you can do IRC, anonymous FTP, USB Plug'n'Play works, DirectX is about to be implemented (direct port from Wine), OpenGL is being reworked... No sound yet.
I tried older versions of it, and only my lack of free time (overwork,ed buying an apartment, rebuilding my car's engine from the ground up...) made me delay trying the latest version. But, from what I could see before, the screen caps, the release notes, the logs, the fora... It's getting very impressive.
For a more complete history, have a look at ReactOS's history page. Suffice to say, ReactOS started as FreeWin95, got lost in discussions, resurrected in 1997 thanks to Jason Filby, then targeted Windows NT4's kernel, slowly developed a working kernel, then a GUI, then a few tools... And in the last year or so, imported 80% of Wine's code, upgraded its kernel to target Windows 2003 SP1's, underwent a full code audit—which led to major bugfixing, and now has a lot of stuff to show off as well as major additions about to be added—Trunk contains a lot of stuff not included in builds yet, but testers and programmers are required...
ReactOS has a direct relationship with Wine—in fact, both projects share a lot of programmers (we are, after all, talking about reimplementing the win32 API) and most of Wine's user-space code and applications.
Why reimplement win32? We can already do whatever we want under GNU/Linux, xBSD, etc!
GNU/Linux is a voluntary, free replacement of a complete proprietary system called UNIX, which was well known for its stability and versatility. On the other hand, win32 systems are known for their bad security, high prices and resources hogging...
What most people don't know is that a win32 system isn't inherently unstable or insecure: it has separated system and user spaces, strong memory management, access rights management, a complete hardware abstraction layer... More recent versions even have a modular design.
It's just that the only implementations available now put most of that to waste, with users having unrestricted rights, no passwords set for active services—which are enabled by default, and a few critical mistakes made here and there, buried under a lot of sugary interfaces, and suspicious code for a bunch of "extras"—like an integrated web browser or media player.
Since this "good" system is being wasted, why not program a completely compatible one that anybody can set up and/or correct as wanted? After all, that's what took place with BSD and GNU!
Remember what started Wine: the desire to run existing win32 applications under a free operating system. However, due to very different designs, complete compatibility between Wine and win32 will be almost impossible to reach, not at a useable level anyway. This is also a place where a complete (and free) reimplementation of win32 is interesting: run your legacy applications in a fully compatible, but also fully customisable operating system, freely.
UNIX got its GNU, Windows can have its ReactOS. What do we get? Free operating systems to make our computer hardware run freely, and our applications too.
The ReactOS website—browse it, it contains a lot of interesting stuff!
Is it really free though?
Whilst I agree that Free Software should not be restricted to a single subset of Operating Systems I would have thought that ReactOS will probably struggle to ever be free.
What I mean is that GNU/Linux, BSD et al are POSIX based and thus share a common root with Unix - rather than being based upon it. ReactOS is an attempt to implement Win32 under a free software licence. By definition this means that the features of ReactOS are dependant upon decisions made by Microsoft and nobody else. Thus ReactOS, although under a free licence, brings with it all the hassles of a non-free environment: proprietary drivers etc.
So if the people behind Unix decide to make fundemental changes it - the free software alternatives are free to ignore those changes if they want to. ReactOS is restricting itself to adopting decisions made by Microsoft.
Okay it also has the advantages of free software - it can make Win32 available to a wider range of architecture - but by trying to re-implement Windows XP (i.e. the latest available version) are they not tying themselves down a little?
Perhaps it would be better - and would have a wider audience - if they reimplemented the Windows9x range - especially as Microsoft have finally stopped supporting it.
Re: Is it really free though?
My understanding is that, in common with Wine, ReactOS will be able to effectively run as several different "versions" of Windows (or that even if this is not currently true it is likely to become so because of the design).
That means that it can run Windows "9x" software.
The current Windows may be a moving target, but it's fair to point out that it's really the existing base of software, written for fixed versions of Windows that is of interest.
OTOH, one problem is that the software being preserved is almost without exception non-free software. Anything for which we have source code and a free license is subject to being ported to GNU/Linux in the usual way (easier than writing a whole new O/S!).
Linux was a crowning achievement in the free software world, because it eliminated the one remaining barrier to having a 100% free software environment on your computer. ReactOS isn't leaning that way, because even though it's shooting for a free kernel, O/S, and GUI, you're still doing it in the service of proprietary applications.
So, IMHO, it will always be a niche application. OTOH, it's a pretty big niche, because there are a lot of users out there with legacy Windows apps that they don't want to lose access to. I myself have a collection of games in a drawer somewhere that I'm going to try out with Wine when I get some time to mess with it.
OTOH, there is also the remote possibility that ReactOS and the Win32 architecture will display some technical advantages. If so, then it becomes a potential rival free O/S in its own right. I don't think ReactOS is likely to be it, but surely some new, innovative O/S will come along to challenge the Linux/Unix supremacy in free operating systems.
After all, the central insight behind this magazine is that it isn't really about "Linux", it's about "Free Software". On mere technical merits Linux is a solid O/S, but it's not earthshattering -- it's the fact that it's GPL'd that matters.
Re: Is it really free though?
My understanding is that, in common with Wine, ReactOS will be able to effectively run as several different "versions" of Windows (or that even if this is not currently true it is likely to become so because of the design).
I hope you are right - that would be better. My concerns were from statements like this one from the ReactOS website..

This is effectivley what I was trying to say - only it's been put better :o)
I'll agree that ReactOS will have purposes - possibly for cross platform developers who want to test something on a Win32 API.
why do we care about emulating winblows
shouldn't we be making things better for the computing world if we make things easier for people to stay with the faulty code micro has bought will people ever care that there is better software? I do't think so.
ReactOS != Windows
All I got for sure was that you don't like Windows, but you seem to be suggesting that ReactOS is a bad idea because it will encourage people to stick to Windows.
ReactOS would be related to Windows in the same way GNU/Linux is to SCO Unix (or Solaris or AIX). It's still a free O/S, and the nature of bazaars is that bugs are more likely to get fixed. There's probably no fundamental reason why ReactOS couldn't be a great operating system in its own right. Users using ReactOS, likewise, would not be "continuing to use Windows".
There are, of course, three things it has to overcome:
First, it's chasing tail lights. As long as Windows is the standard, it's playing catch-up.
Second, Windows doesn't have a solidly thought out technical design when it comes to things like security and multiple users. That's because the original O/S was just not meant to do those things and so they were added as an afterthought. ReactOS can't veer too far away from that design if it wants to retain 100% compatibility (and if you don't, why not just run Wine on Linux?).
Third, it's very niche. Most Windows users are going to keep using Windows, no matter how perfect ReactOS is, and most free software advocates are going to stick to GNU/Linux (most of the rest will be on one of the BSDs). ReactOS, like FreeDOS, has a fairly small userbase.
That's going to be true unless and until they do something really innovative, but the truth is, that's much more likely to happen with Linux. So it's a bit of a long shot.
OTOH, I hope they succeed. The fact that all of the free O/Ss in the world are POSIX type, is not good in the long run. There needs to be some technical competition. ReactOS is a perfect opportunity for those folks who believe Windows to be technically superior to try out their ideas. After all, ReactOS can compete on an even footing with Linux in a way that Windows can't, being non-free.
About your three points...
...they're certainly valid, and some worthy differences have to be pointed out:
1- playing catch-up: sure, but since Microsoft isn't adding much to its subsequent revisions of win32 (they may even trim them down a bit in Vista, at least I read something about that), the target may not be so hard to reach - provided ReactOS limits itself to being a base OS (does it need to reimplement all of Windows Media Player for example? Or .Net (which does have Mono anyway) ? Or all the Wizards? Not necessarily - and Microsoft can't veer too far away from win32 for compatibility reasons.
2- Windows' technical design isn't bad /per se/ - it's just buried under useless additional software that abuse it. Trim a Windows machine to the bone and set up correct user and hardware rights, and it gets very interesting. Now, one of ReactOS' developers' goal is to correct - as much as compatibility allows - those remaining flaws. Remember that Linux, with its monolithic model, isn't the best designed kernel either.
3- It's niche, like GNU/Linux used to be (and still is in some markets). However, if you tell an OEM: 'you can either keep paying the Microsoft tax or install a free, _100%_ compatible OS legally on your cheap machines without licensing hassles' there might be a bit of interest. Of course, due to MS pressure and inertia, it may be a long time in the making - but imagine creating an OS that could run all games, all home productivity and entertainment software, and most professional applications and networks (meaning a WinXP home clone with flexibility added and hardware locks removed), it may score a few hits. It would also be successful on refurbished machines only capable to run no longer supported OSes.
One interesting problem though, is that RMS defined the UNIX standard with his POSIX specifications - Minix, GNU/Linux and xBSD followed them. Win32 is still defined by Microsoft (while still open and submitted to ECMA, if my memory serves me well).
A computer is like air conditioning: it becomes useless when you open windows.
One point merely brushed in the article and comments...
...but which is kept in mind by ReactOS developers: since their OS is free (as in speech), they can actually improve or add whatever they feel is missing from the proprietary version - for example, a strict system/administrator/user rights separation, as is done in the *NIX world, or a more efficient DOSbox (:p)
UNIX lost against GNU/Linux because not only was the free OS free (as in beer), it was also very stable (more stable than some proprietary UNIXes) and more customisable, while at the same time not changing usage and programming habits much.
Would computer users disgusted by Microsoft's OS products due to their high prices, lack of individual consumer support, or bad architectural choices be equally unhappy with a system that would run the software they choose to get (be it free or proprietary) in the way they want it to?
Right now, the best kernel Microsoft has produced is that of Windows 2003 SP1; it has been reused in WinXP 64-bit and in Vista - and it is, actually, a VERY good kernel. Glue a user interface more similar to KDE than to GDI on top of it and provide enough APIs and tools to have fun with the system, and you get for Windows what GNU/Linux was to Unix: a better, free replacement.

I have endeavoured in this Ghostly little book, to raise the Ghost of an Idea, which shall not put my readers out of humour with themselves, with each other, with the season, or with me. May it provide a salutary reminder for those who have forgotten their true roots and the real meaning of Christmas.
Their faithful Friend and Servant, B.D.A.D.
Chapter 1: Christmas Eve, Wapping
Ebenezer Jones was the meanest, mealiest mouthed rugby correspondent in the world.
A tighter fisted wordsmith never had been. It was Christmas Eve, and Ebenezer was where he had spent the last ten Christmas Eves, in his cold, miserable office in the Docklands of London.
The office has long since been deserted, fellow journalists having departed many hours ago to get home to wives and loved ones. Only poor old Johnny D. Cratchit, faithful clerk to Ebenezer, was left in the office.
"Mr Jones?" squeaked poor Johnny
"What is it, Cratchit?" snapped Ebenezer "I pay you to type, not to speak."
"Yes Mr Jones, but I've finished typing up your article."
"Article? Article? Which article? My tirade against Welsh regional rugby?"
"No Mr Jones, I finished that one earlier."
"My sycophantic grovelling article about the Aviva Premiership?"
"No Mr Jones, that was finished yesterday."
"Which article then, damn you, which article?" Ebenezer demanded.
"Your profile on Clive Woodward – you know, the one where you say you want his babies."
"It's Sir Clive, Cratchit, Sir Clive………."
For a very short moment, Ebenezer looked as though he was almost happy.
"Yes Sir, of course sir…….Um…"
"What is it Cratchit?"
"Well Mr Jones, it's Christmas Eve and I was hoping I could, you know, pack up and go take my boy, Tiny Tim, home to see his physio. His wrist is awful baaaad…….."
"I pay you to work , Cratchit, not to go home…………Oh, bah humbug, be off with you, you villainous layabout. But don't expect a Christmas bonus from me!"
Johnny D Cratchit got up to leave, and as he passed through the door shouted, "Thank you, Mr Jones. God Bless you Mr Jones."
Moments later he re-emerged with Tiny Tim on his shoulder.
"Yes, what is it Cratchit?"
"It's Tiny Tim, sir, he was waiting for me outside. He has something he wants to say to you Mr Jones."
Johnny D Cratchit prompted Tiny Tim.
"Have a Merry Welsh Christmas Mr Jones," whispered Tiny Tim, in between coughing up half his lung, "God Bless you and your family."
"F**k off home, you little scrote" replied Ebenezer. "I don't believe in Welsh Christmases. I don't have a family, and the only God I need is now coaching the Lions! Be off with you both!"
But by this stage his words were lost as Johnny D. Cratchit side stepped through the doorway and was gone. Bang! There's no beating pace.
Chapter 2: The First of the Three Spirits
It was 11.30pm and Ebenezer Jones had finally made it home to his penthouse suite in Twickenham, South-West London. He poured himself a small bowl of lumpy gruel and settled down in front of his 62 inch plasma screen TV, putting on his favourite DVD, 'Laurence Dallaglio: Balls and Mauls', a complimentary copy given to Ebenezer by the great man himself. Within five minutes Ebenezer had begun to drift off to sleep. He was awoken with a start by a voice booming from his TV.
"Filth, utter filth. Ebenezer, I cannot believe you are watching this filth."
Ebenezer looked at his screen.
"Jesus Christ, it's Carwyn James! On my screen!" yelped Ebenezer, "I thought you were dead!?"
"I am not Carwyn James," intoned Carwyn James from Ebenezer's TV, "I am the Ghost of Wales Past. And I am not dead, just resting between internationals before the Dragon awakens once more.
"I have come back to remind you, Ebenezer, of the past that you have so readily forgotten…A past when you were happy to call yourself a Welshman…Come with me, Ebenezer, come with me."
The Ghost of Wales Past beckoned Ebenezer towards the TV screen. There was a flash of light, and suddenly Ebenezer found himself in a small room with a radio on the table and a young boy sat at the table, staring intently at the radio.
"Who is that boy?" asked Ebenezer.
"That is you Ebenezer, how you were before you are now."
"God, I had a moustache even back then….What am I doing, Ghost of Wales Past?"
"You are listening to the radio, you stupid boy, what does it look like?" admonished the Ghost of Wales Past.
"What am I listening to so intently?" asked Ebenezer, straining forward, and then he caught it, the crackling intonations of the sports results on BBC Radio Wales. The announcers voice rang out:
"South Wales Police 3, Glamorgan Wanderers 3."
"My God," cried Ebenezer, "It's the old Merit Table! Oh, how I loved that merit table."
"Newport RFC 7, Penarth 0."
"I remember that game, I remember that game! My god, I was happy then, Ghost of Wales Past! I was so happy. What has happened to me since those happy, heady days of my youth?"
"You have sold out," replied the Ghost of Wales Past, "Sold out to the English media, to Planet Rugby, to Rupert Murdoch. You have forgotten your past, Ebenezer, forgotten where your 'tache came from."
"No!" cried Ebenezer, "You have to help me Ghost of Wales Past, you have to help me remember my past. I don't want to be a sell out."
But the Ghost of Wales Past had gone, and Ebenezer was left alone in the room with the boy with the strange moustache. Ebenezer fell on his knees as all around him faded to black and began to cry, just like a little girl, before eventually passing out.
Chapter 3: The Second of the Three Spirits
Ebenezer awoke in a sweat, finding himself wrapped up tight in his bed clutching his teddy bear, Sir Clive.
"Blimey, Sir Clive, that was a worrisome dream. Thankfully I'm now back safe and sound in my bed in South West London."
"Don't be too sure, Ebenezer" thundered a deep North Monmouthshire voice from the corner of the room. "I am the ghost of Wales Present and if the Ghost of Wales Past scared you then what I've got to show you is going to turn your tache white."
A lumbering ghost from Gwent with a child frighteningly large head then stepped out of the shadows and the room began to spin. Ebenezer became quite dizzy and began to regret that nightcap of Lucozade Sport he'd shared with Sir Clive before bedtime. The room spun faster and faster until Ebenezer quite lost his grasp on reality and all he could see were Black and Amber stripes streaking past his eyes. Gradually that grotesque vision melted away and Ebenezer found himself standing on a concrete terrace at a sorry rugby ground.
"Remember this place, Ebenezer?" said the Ghost of Wales Present.
"I don't think I've ever been here before."
"It's Rodney Parade, you great pillock. I admit not the most memorable place. Personally I can't stand it but that's by the by. The fact is Ebenezer you used to spend great amounts of time here enjoying yourself with your moustachioed, overweight friends watching rugby and talking bollocks. In short you used to come here and be Welsh. Now look at you. You support England against Wales. Criticise Wales and praise England when any Welshman should criticise absolutely everything including Wales but save up a special bit of bile for the English. And frankly that tache has become a bit of a disgrace."
"But England's so much nicer. They occasionally win things. And the players are all very tall and good looking."
"Bloody hell!" replied the Ghost of Wales Present. "You really have lost the plot haven't you? Tall, good looking, win things? Since when has that been something a Welshman wants? I give up. I'm taking you back to Twickenham."
With that the Ghost of Wales Present smacked Ebenezer over the head with a love spoon and knocked him out. Ebenezer awoke back in his bedroom in Twickenham with a throbbing headache and the Ghost of Wales Present looming over him.
"I'm going to leave you now, Ebenezer, but you shall have one more visitor this night. An apparition more terrifying than any you can possibly imagine."
The Ghost of Wales Present then vanished in a puff of red, black and white smoke leaving Ebenezer nursing a sore head and an uncontrollable fear that he was about to be visited by a creature that was half-Wallaby half-Kiwi bird and was intent on rogering him to death.
Chapter 4: The Third of the Three Spirits
Ebenezer lay huddled up in bed, fearing to move lest a new apparition appear before him. The temperature in the room had dropped by twenty degrees, and frost was forming on the edge of Ebenezer's moustache. Worse than that, his bladder had kicked into overdrive, and he had to take a slash. He held on for as long as he could until it all became too much before, committing himself to dash off to the en-suite sink in his room. Just as he was about to move he was met by the most terrifying apparition of the night, a death like figure towering above him, scythe in one hand, skull in the other.
"Who the bloody hell are you?" screamed Ebenezer, all thoughts of his bladder long gone.
"Mate, I am the Ghost of Wales Future," drawled a whiney nasal Australian voice. "I have come to show you what your future holds if you continue to write that tedious crap for the English broadsheets. Grab your coat, we're going for a ride."
With that, the windows of the penthouse flew open, and Ebenezer found himself flying through the air next to the Ghost. The ground below him began to blur as they sped up. He recognised the Severn Bridge as they flew overhead, until finally he saw a desolate wasteland below him.
"My God, cried Ebenezer, what has happened below? What terrible industrial accident has befallen this God forsaken land?"
"Mate," replied the Ghost of Wales Future "That's Newport town centre. It hasn't changed at all in the last thirty years. It's not that I want to show you, it's this."
Ebenezer and the Ghost of Wales Future swooped down over the outskirts of Cardiff. As they drew ever closer to the centre of the city Ebenezer began to hear tuneless murmuring echoing over the houses. It was a familiar sound yet felt strangely out of place and discordant. The murmuring grew and grew until the soulless reverberations were making Ebenezer's St George flag cufflinks vibrate.
"We've reached our destination, Ebenezer. Cast your eyes over what the future holds for Wales," announced the Ghost of Wales Future and with a wide sweep of his scythe pointed directly down below.
They were over the Millennium Stadium where there was a game of rugby in progress. Except neither of the sides was wearing the red shirt of Wales. One team was kitted out in white, the other in green. Suddenly the appalling murmuring became distinct:
"Swing low, sweet chariot….."
"For Jonny's sake," cried Ebenezer.
"What has happened? I know that I've written some things that I didn't really mean. Some nasty things about Wales and some lovely things about England. But I don't understand what's happening. And what's it to do with me anyway?"
"The Poms now play all their fixtures at the Millennium Stadium," replied the Ghost. "They'd never lost there. Wales had run out of money since all the crowds had stopped coming. So the Poms bought the whole place up. They've replaced the statue of that fellow Edwards in the shopping centre with one of Gareth Chilcott. St David's Day's been banned. Although to be fair that's been quite a popular development. It's illegal to own a red shirt. Tiny Tim's started coaching Cardiff. And all the rugby clubs have to play in the English divisions."
"Ah well I've always said that they should be playing in the English divisions."
"The English West Country Fifth Division, Ebenezer. That's where you'll now find all the clubs including your own Black and Ambers. And it's all your bloody fault, you big galah. The people in Wales kept on reading that nonsense you peddle, lost their pride, and stopped bothering to turn up to games because they weren't going to be as good as they used to be or weren't going to be as good as the games are in England. You've single handedly destroyed any hope there was in Wales."
"Oh Lord, what have I done?" cried Ebenezer.
"And please stop this terrible singing. It's making my yurs bleed."
"Ah, Ebenezer. That's more like it, mate. Only a Welshman could have bleeding yurs. I think you may just have saved yourself."
The Ghost of Wales Future then raised his scythe and brought it crashing down on a screaming Ebenezer Jones.
Chapter 5 – The End of it
Ebenezer eventually opened his eyes, tentatively touching his neck, fearing that his head had been separated from his body. With great relief he realised that he was back in the familiar surroundings of his Twickenham bedroom with his head firmly intact. But something was different. Where once there had been an autographed baseball cap on the bureau there was now a Grogg of Dai Watkins. A vase of freshly blooming daffodils stood proudly on the mantelpiece. A Welsh flag towel was draped over the back of his armchair. Ebenezer looked down at himself in surprise. Where before there had been only pristine white flesh there was now an assortment of tattoos ranging from the mundane three feathers to a graphic and anatomically quite remarkable three-dimensional representation of a fire breathing dragon.
A broad grin broke out below Ebenezer's now luxuriant black moustache. He strode to the window and flung it open. A young lad was walking below.
"You, boy!"
"Yes, sir?"
"What day is this?"
"Why it's Christmas Day, Mr Jones!"
"And you are a young Englishman are you not? A lover of rugger, a fan of Wilko and Johnno, an admirer of Sir Clive?"
"Indeed I am, Mr Jones!"
"Well stay there a second, boy, I have something for you."
And as the young urchin looked optimistically upwards in the hope of a RWC trinket or two, Ebenezer, our Ebenezer, relieved himself onto the pavement below while singing Calon Lan.
God Bless Us One and All.

there's a couple of sad (junkiedom) and cringeworthy (vomit and blood) moments as well. but i think what fascinated me is how all of this stuff was happening and the six-degrees of seperation is something i marvel at.
1) Bob Dylan penning a song for Nico
2) Miles Davis being in the audience seeing The Stooges perform and getting BLED ON from openwounds Iggy Pop and saying "I like the Stooges. They're original."
3) William Burroughs digging on Television and Patti Smith.
4) MC5 being the only band to play the the 1968 Chicago Democratic Convention Riots.
5) the road manager for Parliament turned the Stooges onto horse. who knew what sad junkie demons he would create later on, eh.
my favorite is Iggy telling about how he wanted to be really confrontational when he performed and how he got that idea from seeing a gross and drunk Jim Morrison play at the University of Michigan. So for the stooges first performance, Iggy decides to bleach his hair and shave all his eyebrows off. Then about 10 minutes into the show he starts sweating and realizes that's what ya need eyebrows for. So his eyes became so swollen with oil and glitter.
The chapter on The Stooges ends when they're at the peak of their junkiedom, and the manager Danny Fields gets a call from the police that The Stooges had just driven a 14-ft truck under a 13-ft bridge in Ann Arbor.
so yeah, it's got action too.

the american version of the genre lacked everything that i felt punk was about. fuck all that "i wanna be sedated" bullshit. lydon, strummer, et al never released song about innane crap like that. even now, john lydon admits that sid vicious was one of the biggest dumbasses he ever knew and never understood the music as a social movement.
btw- i think lydon's "rotten" (although it mainly focuses on the pistols) is a much better exploration of the music and the time.

Punk did not die with the Clash, although certainly a punk ERA died with it. "Combat Rock," boo that. Although "Rock The Casbah" is still a fun song to rock out to.
Anyway, I like the whole Velvet Underground-Stooges-Television-Richard Hell era music better anyway...

Millions of senior Americans suffer from depression or anxiety. Both conditions can affect a person's ability to function. Diagnosis may start with a family physician who may refer the patient to a specialist.
Rush Health Systems offers its "Intensive Outpatient Program", or IOP, to treat anxiety and depression. Group therapy has proven effective for many in just having someone to talk to.
"If they know that someone else is having the same problems that they are, they feel much better about themselves, knowing that 'I'm not in this by myself'. And that's what we try to do is to get them to open up to each other," said Dr. Leonard Byrd, who counsels at Laird Hospital in Union.
Byrd said it's one of the most beneficial methods he has seen.
"And of course, the therapist is sitting there as a facilitator," Byrd said.
Licensed professional counselor for Rush, Michael Gandy, says depression that needs treatment goes on for 2-weeks or more and typically involves lack of sleep, weight gain or weight loss, loss of interest in activities or fatigue.
"Going untreated, a person can withdraw into a shell," said Gandy. "It can affect thinking, affect thought perception."
Gandy says family members are likely to notice before the individual. Once a diagnosis is made, IOP is open to those who are at least 55 years old and have depressed mood or trouble with behavior and thought processes.
"They're able to help work through each other's problems in most cases," Gandy said.

This is an excerpt from EERE Network News, a weekly electronic newsletter.
March 28, 2007
Report: U.S. Solar Cell Market Increased 33 Percent in 2006
The installation of solar photovoltaic (PV) devices in the United States increased by about 33 percent in 2006 over the previous year, according to a new report from Solarbuzz, LLC. Worldwide PV installations totaled 1,744 megawatts (MW) in 2006, a new record and a growth of 19 percent over 2005. The United States contributed just 8 percent of those installations, or about 140 MW, while Germany led the world market with 960 MW of PV installations, comprising 55 percent of the world's total PV installations for 2006. To supply that market, the global production of solar cells reached 2,204 MW in 2006, a growth of 33 percent over PV production in 2005, while the production of polysilicon—a critical ingredient for silicon solar cells—increased by 16 percent. See the summary of the report on the Solarbuzz Web site.
This year is shaping up to be another banner year for PV installations in the United States. In early February, the Colorado Public Utility Commission (PUC) approved an 8-MW PV installation, which SunE Alamosa1, LLC will construct in Alamosa before year's end to provide solar power to Xcel Energy and its customers. On March 22nd, the Nevada PUC approved a 20-year contract between Nevada Power Company and Solar Star NAFB for the installation of an 18-MW PV installation at Nellis Air Force Base. The Nevada PUC also approved 562 applications for customer-sited PV installations that will qualify for the state's SolarGenerations program. See the press releases from the Colorado PUC and the Nevada PUC.
Of course, California continues to demonstrate its solar power leadership by installing large PV systems throughout the state. On March 22nd, Chevron Energy Solutions began building a 1-MW PV system that will form a parking structure at California State University, Fresno. In mid-March, San California Gas Company (a subsidiary of Sempra Energy) presented a $3.4 million incentive check to Peninsula Packaging for installing a 1-MW PV system at its facility in Exeter. On March 1st, the City of San Diego unveiled a 1-MW PV system at its Alvarado Water Treatment Plant, while SPG Solar, Inc. announced the completion of an 827-kilowatt PV system at Western Wine Services in the Napa Valley. On March 19th, SPG Solar also completed a 500-kilowatt PV system for the Sonoma County Water Agency.

Because most high schools do not teach anthropology courses, a normal question to be asked is "What can I do with that degree?" For people interested in studying any aspect of humanity, the answer would be: Just about anything you want.
Anthropology is the study of everything it means to be human. If you were to compare the diversity of fields of study in college, this would rank right behind biology (the study of life). Anthropologists study everything that people do and why they have done it. They also study the evolution of humans, the interaction of human with their environments (both currently and over time), and how past humans lived and dealt with problems of the past (that are often strikingly similar to current day problems). Did you know that anthropological studies lead to standardized clothes sizes, or the size and shape of seats in airplanes, cars, and your living room? Or did you know that anthropologists have helped solve complex problems dealing with worker interaction in factories, or that anthropologists could have told you decades ago that the Mayan calendar did not predict the end of the world on December 21, 2012? The list of what anthropologists do is as long as the list of human activity over time. We are not sure we want to compile that list, but rest assured that it is nearly endless.
Anthropologists are employed in a wide variety of sectors, including colleges and universities, local, state, regional, and federal government agencies, private businesses, Nongovernmental organizations, and health and human services. You will find people with anthropology degrees teaching at universities in departments outside of anthropology, such as architecture/design, biology, business, education, history, international studies, medicine, and public health, among many others. More than half of all anthropologists work outside of academia. They perform job functions that include things such as research partnerships, assessment of economic issues, public policy, educational programs, community histories, and just about any type of human services. Anthropologists address social and physical consequences of natural disasters, equitable access to limited resources, and human rights.
Anthropologists can and have changed the way we view and interact with our world. Regardless of what subfield you choose in anthropology, you will have that chance too.

Bell would quickly fall in love with the sleek prototype as he sped around PBIR posting some of the best lap times during his 75-lap run the team had seen throughout their two-day testing program. Bell impressed everyone in attendance including O'Neill, and finished with his best lap being 0.8 seconds off the leading time of the two days, proving the adaptability and pure talent the 27-year old Bell encompasses.
"I want to thank everyone at Performance Tech for the incredible opportunity today," Bell stated. "This was my first time in an open-top prototype, first time in a right hand drive car, first time on Michelin Tires and my first time at Palm Beach International Raceway, but even with all the firsts, I was confident and excited. I'm happy with my overall performance and now know where to pick up and continue my development from here. The American Le Mans Series LMPC is amazing to drive at speed and like everything that I have driven the past few years, has that rumble of the GM (General Motors) LS3 engine which was even more interesting when coming out of the back of a sleek looking prototype!"

Standish native spends year at sea on aircraft carrier
STANDISH — Since joining the U.S. Navy, Airman Amanda Evenson has traveled around the globe on the high seas.
The 23-year-old Standish native has been aboard the aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis. She works as an aviation ordnanceman — effectively handling the bombs, missiles and other weaponry aboard the ship — but prior to that, she was someone trying to think of a way to afford a college education and help her family.
"I don't have the money to just go to college, and the military offers great educational benefits," Evenson said. "I'm trying to get (my grandma) onto my medical benefits right now — it's about a year-long process — so she'll have medical insurance."
Evenson said she comes from a military family, with relatives and ancestors in the U.S. Army, Marine Corps, and Air Force. She initially enlisted in in the Navy in September 2011, the first in her family to enter that branch, and left for boot camp in April 2012.
"Boot camp is not like what it used to be," she said. "It's not completely difficult. They do keep your stress level way up there, but you become a family, and once you get out of the boot camp, that's something you have in common with everyone else in the military — that you went through boot camp. It makes you feel like a family right from the get-go."
Following boot camp, Evenson said she went to Pensacola, Fla., for three months to get her aviation ordnance training before being assigned to the John C. Stennis. From there, she primarily found herself in the Indian and Pacific oceans, stopping at ports in places such as Bahrain, Singapore, Hawaii and San Diego.
Being close with other members of her rate — the Navy equivalent of a department — and the crew of the ship as a whole is vital, as Evenson said being out to sea for long stretches of time can get to a person.
"The first couple days when you wake up, the water being around you is beautiful," Evenson said. "After those first couple days it gets boring, and after the first week and a half paranoia sets in and you think, 'There's no land for hundreds of miles,' and if anything happens you're never going to see land again."
She said it can also be difficult to communicate with the outside world reliably, as sometimes the ship finds itself in places where phone and internet service need to be shut off. Evenson added that their official Navy emails are always running, even if the crew is unable to check them regularly.
She said the crew has to work hard on the ship, and as such does not get a whole lot of downtime. Her own job involves "a lot of inventory" and standing watch.
"You don't get too much personal time, because it's like a mini New York," Evenson said. "You work a lot — work and sleep."
"It's honestly like a regular job. The only difference is you don't get to come home after work," she added.
One of her duties involves participating in replenishment at sea, or RAS, where supplies are loaded onboard and transferred, crewmember by crewmember, to their destinations. Evenson said everyone comes together in a display of teamwork to pass the boxes of supplies down the line, and that RASes provide an opportunity to really see what everyone on board is like.
Personal space is nearly nonexistent on board the carrier as well, Evenson said. Personal areas are limited to the rack each crewmember sleeps on — about the size of a coffin, she said — and every part of the ship outside of there is close quarters.
With part of her job requiring her to go down multiple decks by ladder in tight quarters, Evenson said she and the other aviation ordnancemen have a department joke.
"We sleep in our coffins, and work in our graves," she quipped.
When the ship makes a port call, however, the crew usually gets the chance to unwind on shore. Evenson said while she has enjoyed visiting Singapore, Hawaii, Italy and Spain, Dubai is her favorite place to stop at so far.
"I would love to go back to Dubai," Evenson said. "Dubai is absolutely gorgeous, just phenomenal."
She said Singapore is also a remarkably clean and crime-free city, albeit an expensive one with extremely strict laws against theft and other crimes.
Ports also provide a chance to call back home, and Evenson said while the crew is not allowed to talk about the ship's destinations before it arrives, she is able to go ashore and spend time talking with her family by phone once they make landfall.
Evenson also has been able to pick up gifts for her family while at port, as well as purchase some local goods for herself, such as clothing and jewelry.
While Evenson expects to continue to serve about the Stennis for a few more years, requiring her to re-enlist, after five years she will be eligible for shore duty, her current goal. After that, she believes with two enlistments under her belt, she will be in a good position to get her college education underway. She is hoping to earn degrees in graphic design, drawing and psychology. Evenson added she is already taking classes aboard the John C. Stennis.
On leave in May, Evenson said coming back from a deployment is proving to be tricky. The Navy makes its crew take classes on readjusting to being around friends and family again and putting those relationships back together, something Evenson did not think would be nearly as important as it has ended up being.
"You don't know what to say," she said. "People ask you a hundred questions, and you don't want to think about it or talk about it. You just want to enjoy two weeks as a civilian, but you understand where people are coming from. They want to know."

Everyone is disappointed with the cost of health care, the insurance companies, the people, the health care providers, and industry. We have been saying for years something has to be done about the health care system. Granted the Affordable Health Care Act may not be perfect but I have enough confidence in our government and representatives to improve on what has been started. Every body has a share in the success and should do their part in not taking advantage of the system that has been started. In my view it is crap to say it somehow infringes on our freedom.

How do you think the Supreme Court should rule on the individual mandate in the Affordable Care Act case?

Research the facts! What a crock; my best friend's father and mother were killed by the Canadian Health system. Neither would have needed to die had they been allowed by Canadian Law to seek medical treatment in the US. Instead they were legally forbidden to seek help outside the Canadian system or lose their ability to ever use it and both died while waiting to be treated. They apparently weren't worth saving.
Already, in this country, we have Congress-critters proclaiming the old should die to allow younger people to receive organs even though those older people have been on the list for far longer and have contributed to the nation all their lives. If this isn't the "Death Panel" we were all told we were stupid to believe would ever happen, it certainly is the beginning of it if Obamacare passes. Once Congress get the power to force people to buy government mandated healthcare they will be in a position to mandate old people be left to die because they have used up their usefulness.
No thanks, I'm not interested in government forced healthcare, not interested is ceding my liberty to governmental edict and I'm not interested in allowing the government to decide who lives and who dies by rationing who gets treated based upon age.
I generally agree with those that favor what has come to be called Obamacare. IT HAS SIGNIFICANT DEFFICIENCES. It probably been much better if Ted K. had not died. One "must have" is the PUBLIC OPTION, needed to control costs.
My comment to those who say that the health care system in Canada and Europe don't work: Folks, you just haven't taken the trouble to research the facts for yourself.
The president and congress do NOT have the power to CREATE a commerce in order to control it through the Tenth Ammendment of the U.S. Constitution.IF it does NOT previously exist between the states the Federal government has no responsibility to control it...and SHOULD NOT control it... it is a FREE MARKET issue. Get the Fed out of the way and the insurance market will control the health care.. DON'T like what THEY are doing...put them out of business and start something else..Don't let the fed pick the winners or looser..
You said, "Get the Fed out of the way and the insurance market will control the health care." LOL, What hole have been living in for the past 50 years? The only reason for Obamacare is because the insurance market cannot control health care. Wake up, sheep!
Clarification re: academia-- if the cost of a medical education can be reduced by greedy, price-gouging universities, the cost of medical care will fall, because doctors won't be entering the workforce $500,000+ in debt.
"...To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;"
"10 USC § 311 - Militia: composition and classes
(a)The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.
(b)The classes of the militia are—
(1)the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and
(2)the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia."
Hmm... seems to me a much more valid and coherent Constitutional argument could be made that a mandate should be issued that every household should have to purchase a surplus M-16 and a thousand rounds.
The commerce clause does NOT mean that "generally, everyone should be on welfare". But allowing the mandate to stand opens the door to, for example, as one liberal justice observed, mandates to purchase cell phones for highway safety. I foresee the day when Michele Obama mandates the purchase of tofu and broccoli and sends forth the food Nazis to kick down our doors to enforce it.
Okay, I'm being a little facetious-- but Congress should never, ever be allowed to force Americans to purchase any product, for any reason.
But what, you ask, is the solution? Well, the Bard had an idea in Henry the VI: "First thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers." Again, of course, I'm kidding. But much of the high cost of medicine is because the law is all too often an ass. Reduce ridiculous malpractice suits and you reduce the cost of medicine. Go after all-too-sacred academia and their gross overcharging for their product, mostly so they can pay for athletics coaches.
But stop robbing us. I hope the Supremes support the Constitution and strike this banditry down.
Restart the "Civilian Conservation Corpes" and make Freeloaders work for there Health Care as a result the roads would be repaired, houseing repaired, water worksrepaired, homeless would be able to contribute etc. etc... See how that would work? Liberals we have had enough. The Federal Government needs to dig deep into there own pockets and stop downsizeing the immediate satisfying programs and personnel. They need to include themselves into the budget mix (Congress).
Personally no one should get a FREE ride and receive Affordable Care without first paying the piper (USA) first. The 26 years old adultdren will have to pay a HIGHER Rate for Health Care at that age. People born with disabilities are an exception to the rule and should be accommodated. I am a Total Disabled Volunteer USAF Veteran and have to pay for my Medicare and on top of that need to supply a health insurance ( spouse and children until 26) to my family which still includes me. I have no justice on a fixed income and made/forced to pay for TWO Health Care Plans all-ready. Either way if the Social Health Care Reform remains or if it goes I still have to pay. Where in the HELL is the justice in that? I broke myself for this country now the country can afford me justice and do away with the free freeloading Congress. Why does my spouse's income cause high taxation to my Taxable income (SSI)? (A): Congress!
Hear-hear Drill Sgt. Speak now or hold your peace till after Nov. I am sorry for your wounds or condition but am proud to tell you thanks. Hang in there trooper!If Obummer doesn't succeed things will be better next year.
The individual mandate is constitutional not only under the "commerce clause"(under the commerce clause the commerce does NOT have to be between states), but also, in the same Section 8, the Constitution says that "The Congress shall have Power to...provide for the common Defense and general Welfare of the United States." I don't know a better validation of providing for the "general Welfare" than providing health care in a period of history that most people, especially Vets, children, and old people cannot afford to pay for insurance due to the insurance companies over reach and hoarding of profits. The Afforable Care Act is a reformation of the legal rights and responsibilities of the insurance industry. It will force insurance companies to continue to insure for pre-existing conditions, for exceeding annual and life time limits.
As far as the individual mandate, the constitutionality has been established by precedent in the Social Security Law which forces everyone to pay into the system and to have a SSAN. Try to have your employer not include you in Social Security! Even the military forces you to have a SSAN.
Actually It works quite well in Europe and Canada and in fact they are doing more for cost control than we in the US. US health care today works best for those that can afford it. I get how folks want to repel this, but I never hear a solution to what we SHOULD do. So ... How should the US handle health care? Does an employer based insurance company profit driven system really make sense? Would it not make more sense to free our job creators from the burden of health care?
The problem is there is a lot of good stuff in this bill that we all want and need ... the issue is really the individual mandate. Oddly enough this was a conservative republican free market solution approach. This was not a unique idea of Obama's.
Bottom-line ... quite saying no and start providing solutions!
Army knows to be effective in defeating an enemy, you cut the root. Meaning we take out the headquarters. First Obama then his eletist string pullers . Election may be the answer, but suppose he feels he is going to lose and declares Martial Law. March 16 he set himself up for that by Executive Order, to be used whenever he "claims" it is for National Security. We know of course it means there is no more civil law, no constitution to protect us, no more elections, with it being enforced by HLS and 40,000 riot control trained special ops. Hasn't anyone thought of this???Evidently millions across the country have figured out what's ahead as 7 days after the EO, Strum Ruger went ballistic and quit taking orders after getting 1 million. They claim they can't manufacture that many in so shout of a time.
You are right on target jumpsbilly. But this act against the Constitution is just a drop in the bucket that's already full. A person would be a darned fool to turn in all his weapons which is probably next. As far as I am concerned, I will be like the CO asked to surrender at Bastogne.My answer to them will be NUTS!!!!(:O)
Now I am aware that God is in control, and just might let it happen, as he did when Obama was elected,as Judgement on us all, but I also know He expects us to resist evil, to the death if necessary. Who knows, maybe He will restore our land as He promised Israel in II Chronicles 7:14.
Did you just threaten the President of the United States?
Absolutely NOT! There are other ways to take him out legally. Impeachment does come to mind, or forced to resign. Guess you guys need to get out of your comfort zones and do a little research on your own. Hadn't realized the Illuminati had infiltrated the Legion until now. Not a nut job my friend, just been following this mind controlling movement for 3 decades. And those still supporting this con artist will regret losing their country that so many millions have sacrificed for. Oh yes, I talked to the SS when he was in Hawaii. They agree with me but are just doing their job.
Yes he did. This flake needs to be turned over to the Secret Service! He sounds like the jetBlue pilot!
Socialized medicine does not work in Europe or Canada and we should not as a nation grant this type of power/mandate to the Congress or the administration.This administration has gone beyond what the constitution allows and must be stopped before we loose or give up even more of our rights. We the people not we the Congress !
Socialized medicine DOES work in Europe and Canada! I worked for the largest company in Norway for 8 years and I paid $20 per month and it was great. An acquaintance moved to Canada and after a couple of years he was found with terminal cancer. When he died his wife said they would have gone bankrupt if he had stayed in the US.
Obamacare is not socialized medicine as it NOT a goverment sponsored insurance but many private insurance companies of your choice. For most people nothing changes. This is the program President Nixon tried to establish, and it was promoted by the right wing Heritage foundation under Newt Gingrich, and established in Massachusettes under George Romney. Now, because it is under the auspices of President Obama the right wing says "OH No, it is unconstitutional!"

Tallahassee, FL - Back in full pads, No. 5 Florida State turned its sole focus to Saturday's Atlantic Coast Conference-opening showdown with nemesis Wake Forest at Doak Campbell Stadium (12 p.m., ESPN/ESPN3D).
As is the case every Tuesday, FSU coach Jimbo Fisher and his staff began game plan installation, then capped off the heavy work day with the first offensive and defensive units squaring off. The two-hour practice wasn't always precise, but it was a starting point for the Seminoles, who will try and open the season with a 3-0 start for the first time since 2005.
That was also the last season the Seminoles won the ACC Championship.
"I was very happy with the focus and intent of what they were trying to do," Fisher said following practice. "We made plays on both sides of the ball in good-on-good situations, and the scout team situations for the most part seemed pretty good."
The Seminoles shouldn't have any trouble being focused for a date with the Demon Deacons. Wake Forest coach Jim Grobe's squad has won four of the last six meetings between the programs.
"They're very sound; they're very good," Fisher said. "They make plays. The quarterback can scramble. … They can run the football. Defensively, they give you multiple looks; bring lots of pressures. They do a great job of making plays and creating turnovers. They're just a good football team and do a really nice job."
Despite running an offense heavy in motion and misdirection, and a defense that will show FSU's line a three-man front for the first time this year, efficient execution – on both sides of the football – has been Wake Forest's calling card. Fisher noted that the key to the Seminoles' success on Saturday is merely a "matter of discipline."
Redshirt junior cornerback Xavier Rhodes sat out Tuesday's practice with flu-like symptoms…senior defensive end Brandon Jenkins, who suffered a season-ending injury in the opener, was spotted using a push cart to get around campus following foot surgery. "He'll come to terms with things," Fisher said of Jenkins. "I think that's what he's doing right now, but he'll be well and back around and be a great leader for us."…sophomore tailback James Wilder, Jr., who has two rushing touchdowns in each of the first two games, drew praise from Fisher for the way he has mentally prepared for the season. "[Wilder] has done a real nice job of studying his playbook and getting on top of things, and just being a dependable guy."…While all units figure to be tested substantially by the Demon Deacons, Fisher said the linebacker corps – including the young reserves – have "all graded out pretty good" over the first two weeks…though the Sept. 22 home game with Clemson has been selected by ABC for its 8 p.m. slot, a handful of tickets are still on sale through the Florida State ticket office and online at Seminoles.com.

Education is instrumental to a child's development but according to the latest Kids Count data, development cannot be limited to the classroom.
"The bad news is we still have 12,00 teens who give birth before they finish high school This year poverty increased 60 percent," said Jane Zehnder-Merrell, senior associate for the Michigan League of Human Services. We all care about education but education can't do it by itself. We need to have strong systems that support children and families across the board."
But in dealing with a multi-billion dollar state deficit, allocating resources is not easy.
"I think policy makers have to get creative," said Michele Corey, advocacy director for Michigan's Children. "They have to begin to learn how to leverage other dollars, leverage partnerships so that we can better support education of our kids."
Otto Middle School in Lansing has found resources to help advance part of its education. A health clinic with a nurse practitioner on staff who can diagnose, write prescriptions --- offer full treatment to students without leaving school grounds.
"My friends tell me their schools don't have health centers. I wouldn't know how it would be ---- it would be hard," said eighth grader DeMarquisse Salaam.
"More and more kids are getting sick and more are having health issues and they would have to go home and miss school and not get the education needed to succeed," said Otto middle school student Anji Kuran.
While the newest statistics show child abuse, neglect and poverty are on the rise, the health clinic and programs that are attentive to all the needs of the student can start to make a difference.
"We need more educated kids at higher levels of education. We can't get there without making the investments," said Zehnder-Merrell.
Some students at Otto Middle say they are beginning to understand the value of good investments.
"Your whole life starts with your education," said eighth grader R.J. Everett. "If you truly don't get a good education, you can't get a good job to survive."

The Bison football team suffered another setback last Friday, falling to the Douglas Bearcats 27-21 on their home field.

This explains why our Shar Pei/Dobbie mix is so scared of everything. He spent his early years living in my daughters apartment and never really got to socialize with people or pets outside of her close friends and his best bud (miniature poodle).

A friend recently rescued a female Border Collie from a breeder in Texas. I should say puppy mill in Texas. This dog has never been out of a cage. Never stepped her feet on grass. Her ears are so infected that they have closed up and she is completely deaf. She has been used as a breeding machine. It is a heart-breaking reminder of what greed can do and how innocent animals suffer at our hands. While we are thinking of socializing puppies I would like to add that the shelters are filled to over flowing with dogs for adoption, including puppies. Please, please let us work together to end the puppy mill business in this country!

This is a wonderful explanation of why it is so important to socialize puppies! As an AKC Breeder of Merit, we realize how important this is to the future of our lab puppies. That is why we do Early Neurological Stimulation exercises, have a Puppy "Enrichment" play area, and have our puppies meet lots of new people before they go to their new homes. We love to hear feedback from our new puppy families that their puppies adapt so quickly to their new environment. Thanks for the great video! - Janet & Bill, Whispering Pines Farm, WV.

I've been using it in OS X and it's really good but there are some issues and I'm wondering if the windows version is better in general.
I have XP on my MacBook in a Bootcamp partition so if it's better, I'll just load it up on that.
Any info would be helpful.

Tyson is like Kurt & Courtney: if you're interested in the subject, you'll be able to watch the film, despite the style and quality of the filmmaking.
The word I would use for director James Toback's TYSON is busy. And that's an understatement. During the Tyson interviews – there are no interviews with anyone else but Tyson, except in stock footage, and even then there is Tyson commentary running underneath – there are as many as four Mike Tyson frames onscreen, playing at once. If he rambles at all, a new frame moves in and continues the thought, while the former dominant frame, still onscreen, albeit smaller, continues to play and you can hear him softly over the new, bigger frame. This sounds confusing, and it is. Likewise, there is a recurring theme of multi-frame close-ups of Tyson's face: an eyeball, his lips, his cheekbone and tattoo – all at once – and under that, we hear a flood of words, mostly adjectives, which Tyson uses to describe himself, or something else, like what attracts him in a woman, or whatever the case may be. It's a little much, and I don't think it quite works. All this stuff – the hyper-editing, the many images onscreen – seems to me like function over style. It comes off as a style, but I think it was one of a few ways to deal with the wealth of rambling footage of Tyson. Apparently, according to my father who heard it on "Fresh Air" with Terry Gross, the cameras were set up prior to the interviews, so Tyson is actually alone when the recording begins. It makes sense since the movie is like an autobiography, completely in Tyson's head. The only glimpse of how others see him is in the stock footage, and even that is very heavily edited, so as to serve Tyson's narrative. When I read Malcolm X's biography, my favorite part was the afterword by Alex Haley, X's biographer, because I finally got a break, and saw X from the outside. Now, you could easily argue that both Malcolm X and Mike Tyson have been seen from the outside a lot, and what is curious is to see their lives, respectively, from inside their skulls. But I need a little of both. Somehow, the inside and the outside of a person gives a balanced perspective, adds to a portrait, at least a non-fictional portrait; I want to hear what others have to say about you and I want to hear it from you. And to literally hear it from someone else's mouth, not just Tyson telling me what someone else said about him. Capiche? Continue reading

Sally Poole is the owner of Poole Communications, with offices in Hannibal, Marshall and Poplar Bluff, Missouri. She is very involved in Hannibal and Quincy, IL., with memberships in the Chamber of Commerce, Hannibal Arts Council, Affordable Community Education, Lions Club and Rotary. She has helped in the fund-raising campaign to build a Hannibal campus for Moberly Area Community College. Currently she is helping to start the Hannibal Chamber Business Development Committee.
Cindy Lovell has been one of the best things to ever happen to Hannibal. I'm very sad to lose her, but I'm confident she'll still be working with us again because making connections and thinking on a grand scale is what she does.
From launching the Mark Twain Words & Music CD project (that only Cindy could have dreamed of) to strengthening Mark Twain Home Foundation endowment, Hannibal has experienced over 10 years of growth in the few years Cindy has been at the helm of the Mark Twain Museum. Her vision and enthusiasm have been like a light in a darkened room. She has built friendships here that will last a lifetime and connections that will help spread the word of Mark Twain and Hannibal throughout the nation - if not the world.
In the future it would benefit us all to think of Cindy as we continue our work in Hannibal. Let's think as big as Cindy. Let's collaborate to make Hannibal a place that we can be proud of - and continue the vision that Cindy has started.

River Road was closed in both directions Saturday evening as police investigated a car accident.
Cincinnati police and fire departments were called to the scene of a single-car accident on River Road at the intersection of Bender Road.
Officers said a vehicle flipped on its top and was on fire when they arrived on the scene.
Police identified the driver as James Bright, 57. They said Bright was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the accident. Speed did appear to be a factor in the crash.
A passerby rescued one person from the vehicle before police and firefighters arrived. No one else was in the car, dispatchers said.
All lanes were reopened a short time after police cleared the scene.
