About the Book
Two young men are swimming naked in an Adirondack lake when they hear a motor, a car appears, and two women get out, one with an orange scarf around her head. It's 1936: New York is suffering through the Great Depression, frightening things are happening in Europe, and Artie Saltzman and Harold Abramovitz, friends since their Brooklyn childhood, are unsure about everything—jobs, lefty politics, women. After this time in the mountains, nothing will be quite the same.
From World War II to the McCarthy-era witch hunts, through work, marriages, and life with children, Artie and Harold turn to each other, whether for solace or another good argument. And when Artie's daughter Brenda comes of age during the 1960s, her struggles with jobs, love, and friendship in yet another period of political turmoil recall Artie and Harold's youth.
A sweeping yet intimate novel about people who never stop loving one another despite everything life throws at them, When We Argued All Night illuminates a friendship over more than sixty-five years, as the twentieth century gives way to the changed yet recognizable times in which we live.

CORPUS CHRISTI – Alyssa Miller's golden goal in the 95th minute sent the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi women's soccer team into a frenzy, as the Islanders knocked off McNeese State 1-0. It marked the first Southland Conference victory and the first home victory in program history.
Miller finished off a tremendous run with her third goal of the year. Yvette Franco played a nice ball down the left side to a streaking Miller. The junior dribbled into the 18-yard box, cut back to her right, then sent a ball past keeper Maggie Marks and into the right corner of the goal to give the Islanders (2-9-0, 1-4-0 Southland) the victory at 94:46. McNeese fell to 5-6-1 and 0-4-0 in league play.
"Everybody is just so excited – there's a sense of pure joy," head coach Shanna Caldwell said. "It took a lot today – it was really hot, we played through some adversity. Our players just battled and wanted it. We've been so close and it felt great to get our first conference win and for it to be at home.
"I think this was a turning point for us," she added. "Every day we've been turning up at practice, been picking up our efficiency, the consistency of our practice and the level of play. Last weekend was tough because I think we could have taken both games, but we have been playing really well, firing on all cylinders. Earlier in the season that game might have slipped away from us, but today we found the back of the net. We had the will to win today."
Audrey Baldwin made two saves for her first shutout of the season in earning the victory. Marks made five saves in a losing effort for the Cowgirls.
The first half saw the majority of the action in the middle of the field, with the two teams battling for possession. McNeese had a solid opportunity in the 21st minute, as Haley Lyons found the ball inside the penalty area. The junior's first shot was stopped by Baldwin and then the rebound was thwarted by the Islanders defense.
The Islanders were limited to just two shots, but had a golden opportunity in the 40th minute. A well-played ball by Meghan Cordero was flicked on by Rachel Keeley and found its way to Franco. The freshman took a touch and got a shot off, but Marks smothered it to keep the home squad off the scoreboard.
In the second half, the Islanders ratcheted up the pressure, peppering the goal with six shots in the first 14 minutes of action. But opportunities by Audrey Kuhl and Franco were blocked, and McNeese kept the Islanders off the scoreboard. The Islanders' defense limited the Cowgirls' opportunities, holding them to four shots in the second half. In the overtime session, McNeese got off one shot, while the Islanders delivered two.
The Islanders will return to the pitch next Friday, Oct. 11, when they play host to another league contest at Dugan Stadium. Incarnate Word will visit the Coastal Bend for a 3:30 p.m. matchup. Tickets are available by calling the Islanders Athletics Ticket Office at 825-BALL (2255) or by visiting GoIslanders.com.

Senior master instructor Sean Cavins from Sahn Tae Kwon Do is offering self-defense classes for women for the fith year in a row at the Breckenridge Recreation Center tomorrow.
Proceeds from the class will benefit Advocates for Victims of Assault, a local nonprofit that supports victims of domestic violence. Tracey Roach, a board member for the group, had the idea of offering self-defense classes. She's been practicing tae kwon do with Cavins for 18 years.
"I thought it made sense with the Advocates for women to be more empowered, to keep themselves out of a situation, or if there is a situation, they feel more comfortable handling it," she said. "I think it is going to benefit anybody about awareness. And that's what it's more about - awareness rather than punching and kicking anybody."
Cavins has been training in martial arts, specifically tae kwon do, for the past 43 years. With the help of his female instructors, he plans to teach basic self-defense moves to women of all ages.
"First, I give a talk about safety tips and awareness tips, because all that brings your percentage of being a victim down," Cavins said. "Then we get into physical techniques."
The moves he teaches are ones that anyone can learn, he insists, because they use gross motor skills, which are movements that people use in everyday life.
"We take those motions that all of us already know and we tweak them so that they work for us in a self-defense siutation," Cavins said. "Anybody that comes will walk out of there remembering everything they learned."
The goal, he said, is to make the training as simple and understandable as possible - unlike the fine motor skills training needed for martial arts like tae kwon do.
"It's not like you have to learn 500 techniques," he explained. "You get half a dozen and they'll work in multiple situations."
The class will take place at the recreation center from 7-9 p.m. There is no set cost for the class, though a donation of $20 is suggested.

As the 50-year anniversary of his famous 16-inning duel against Warren Spahn approached, Giants Hall of Famer Juan Marichal was reluctant to directly criticize today's cautious approach to pitcher care.
But it's not hard to read between the lines.
"There are more players on the disabled list than when we played. I don't know why," said Marichal, now 75. "Maybe they don't know how to use those expensive (exercise) machines that they have in the clubhouse."
He smiled.
"Pitch counts? You're not going to have a strong arm if you don't throw. That's why I think I threw so many complete games, because I used my arm. I loved to throw. The only way you can get a strong arm is by throwing. Today, 70, 80 pitches and you're out."
Marichal threw 227 pitches in beating the Braves 1-0 on July 2, 1963. Spahn threw 201, with Willie Mays blasting the last offering into the Candlestick Park seats.
Such pitch counts are impossible to fathom today. In a story for Grantland.com, writer Rany Jazayerli noted that "there have been fewer 130-plus pitch outings over the past 12 years combined than there were every single season before the 1994-95 strike. This is the single greatest change in the way baseball is played in the 21st century, and it isn't close."
But in 1963, even a pair of 200-plus pitch outings hardly turned the world upside down.
"No, because it was normal," Orlando Cepeda, the Giants' Hall of Famer, recalled. "The pitchers went all the way whether it was 12 innings or 14 innings. Now you look back and you realize (Spahn-Marichal) was something special. But back then, we'd seen that many times."
Indeed, Marichal racked up several career marathons. In 1966, the Giants' right-hander went 14 innings to beat the Philadelphia Phillies 1-0. In 1969 he carried a shutout into the 14th at Shea Stadium before Tommy Agee came to the plate with one out and crushed the winning home run.
"Sometimes when I'm dreaming," says Marichal now, "I still see that ball."
The Giants' Matt Cain understands that pitching 16 innings is a pipe dream, but he's curious. He said it would be "kind of fun to go longer just to see what you have left. You do kind of wonder."
Don't expect to see it. Giants manager Bruce Bochy would be fired on the spot.
"Oh, there's no question about that," said Denis Menke, a former teammate of Spahn's. "They don't even think about it anymore. Now, they're lucky if they get six or seven innings out of a pitcher and that's about it."
Marichal once threw 30 complete games in a season. Last year's sparkling Giants rotation, the one that led the team to the World Series, combined for five complete games. Cain and Madison Bumgarner shared the staff lead with two apiece.
Marichal, meanwhile, recalled only one time in his 16-year career that he wanted to come out of a game. He was slogging his way through the late innings when manager Herman Franks came to the mound to ask how he felt.
"Bad," Marichal replied.
"Then Herman Franks told me to turn around and look behind me in the bullpen. There was no one there. He said, 'Feeling bad, you're still better than anyone I have.'
"As soon as he told me that, my fastball came back. I threw nothing but bullets over the last two innings because my confidence was back."
Spahn, too, was a well-established iron man by the time he carried his shutout into the 16th inning at Candlestick Park. The left-hander led the National League in complete games nine times over his career, including three straight times after his 40th birthday.
"I can remember Spahn and (Lew) Burdette both in Milwaukee: If they got into the ninth inning and the score was tied, you better not take him out," recalled second baseman Frank Bolling, who played for the Braves from 1961-66.
"They'd want to go after you. They'd come after the manager. They were real competitors and they believed in finishing the game -- which they could. Gawd, they knew how to do it."

A year after 20-year-old Jaleayah Davis was found along Interstate 77, family and friends remembered and mourned her death Monday night.
The young woman's body was found on the side of I-77 near the Emerson Avenue exit on Nov. 19, 2011, two-tenths of a mile from her car. Davis sustained traumatic injuries after apparently being struck by a vehicle, according to Wood County sheriff's deputies.
About 30 people attended a candlelight vigil at 6 p.m. along the Ohio River in Marietta to honor the young woman. Not many words were spoken, but a sadness showed on the faces of those holding candles by the gazebo along Ohio Street.

Ali Strahler, vigil organizer and one of Davis' best friends, said she had the idea for a vigil to help the family on the anniversary of Davis' death.
"She was one of my best friends," said Strahler. "I thought we could gather as a community (in memory of her)."
Strahler said she had been close with Davis, of Marietta, even though her friend was a few years older, throughout their high school years. She knew the family well, including Jaleayah's sister Taubi Davis, she said.
"She was just so pretty and happy spirited," Strahler said of her friend. "She was unfairly taken away from us."
Strahler said the fact a lot of people showed up was a great way to honor Davis.
"I thought we could gather by the river in her hometown as a whole," said Stahler. "I wanted to think of a positive way to recognize her."
Taubi Davis attended the vigil for her sister. She said it was sweet of the friends to arrange such a great remembrance for Jaleayah.
"I didn't really expect anyone to do anything," said Taubi. "I knew it was going to be a hard day for my family."
Taubi said she and her sister shared many of the same friends and she was touched at their acknowledgement of a community in search of answers and justice. She said the family lived in Williamstown until her junior year of high school and Jaleayah's senior year, when they moved to Marietta.
"They were open to us," she said. "Even being new."
Taubi said on the 19th of every month friends and members of the community reach out to the Davis family to show their support.
"They were really nice; it was really sweet," she said of the embracing city.
Police arrested Ember S. Stafford, 27, of Marietta, in connection with the case on Nov. 1. Stafford was arrested on charges of being a fugitive from justice and falsely reporting an emergency incident, the day before Davis would have been 21 years old.
Police are investigating her death.

The Creative Heritage Never Dies
Posted by Shreve & Co. at 12:13:37 PM in Bell & Ross (29)
The 1960s was an era of creativity and groundbreaking work, which saw the creation of the famous Mystère-Falcon 20 by Dassault, arguably the best business jet in its period. Bell and Ross, the French watch company with a heritage and identity closely tied to aviation, pays a special homage to the 60's with its new Vintage Collection BR 126 Sport Heritage watch. The 41mm polished steel case emulates the fashion of that time with its oversized numerals and index indicators, black bezel with 60 minute gradation, as well as sand-colored hands with photoluminescent coating. The self-winding mechanical movement supports the watch's multiple functions including hours, minutes, seconds, date, and 30-minute and 60-second counters. The rubber-strapped (or steel bracelet) timepiece is protected by anti-reflective sapphire crystal and 100m water resistance. Let the good old times inspire you for greater creativity ahead.
Find the BR 126 Sport Heritage and other Bell and Ross watches at Shreve & Co. in Portland, Oregon.

ALAMEDA -- Maybe you are a Raiders fan. Maybe you are getting excited about Terrelle Pryor and his quarterbacking. Maybe you are thinking that by the end of this season or early next, Pryor will be an awesome NFL force along the lines of Colin Kaepernick or Robert Griffin III.
Maybe you should calm down.
No question, Pryor is providing the Raiders just what they needed in his first season as a starter -- a welcome dose of bright and buoyant optimism. He's won two of his last three starts, including Sunday's victory over Pittsburgh that featured his yowza-wowza 93-yard touchdown run.
Also, while Pryor's passer rating of 77.2 in six games might not be spectacular, it is better than the current passer ratings of Tom Brady (74.9) and Eli Manning (68.4).
It is only natural, then, for you to wonder where Pryor stands on his development timeline as we compare him with the more established names in the wave of new quarterbacks.
Sorry. Raiders coach Dennis Allen does not want you to do that.
"The tendency to compare goes on outside of this building," Allen said Monday. "Our focus is how do we take Terrelle Pryor's skill set ... he's Terrelle Pryor, he's unique. He's not somebody else, that somebody might want to compare him to."
That is a smart approach. It is also not the approach I intend to follow.
The NFL is all about comparisons -- especially on the weekends when teams line up to compare themselves against each other, with violence involved. The NFL also publishes weekly statistics that compare players, at every position and in every category.
In my mind, therefore, it is fair game to gauge where Pryor is in relation to the other quarterbacks of his generation. Pryor is 24. That makes him a year older than Washington's Griffin, a year younger than the 49ers' Kaepernick and the same age as Seattle's Russell Wilson and Indianapolis' Andrew Luck.
News flash: He isn't as good as any of those guys. Yet. But if you are instead comparing the Pryor Of Today with the Potential Future Pryor ... well, there are enough hints that he might nudge himself into a discussion with those other quarterbacks in, say, 2015 or 2016.
The most positive signs are not even about technique. One is that Pryor clearly is working hard to get better and is saying all the right things as he expresses his desire to follow coaching guidelines. Another is that Allen and his staff have been systematically monitoring Pryor's progress. There is a plan in place.
"I wouldn't say that we have a sheet of paper, a list of things to check off on a weekly basis," Allen said. "But, yeah, there's things that we look at with him as a quarterback."
Such as?
"His ability to get us in and out of the huddle," Allen said. "His ability to get us to the line of scrimmage. His ability in some of our quarterback-read schemes ... is he making the right reads? How's his pocket presence? Is he giving his protection enough time? What's his footwork like in the pocket?"
All of it makes sense. Pryor has had issues in some of those areas. Sunday, the biggest issue was that after his 93-yard run and some good middle-distance completions that led to the Raiders' second touchdown, he was not very effective. He still has difficulty with accuracy when he's moving out of the pocket to his left. It led to one of his two interceptions Sunday.
"I think he's made some significant strides," Allen said. "But I also think there's a lot of room for improvement ... The thing I want to see out of him the most is really the consistency."
The good news for the Raiders is that Pryor clearly has the talent to make better things happen -- and all of his deficiencies can be corrected with diligent and time-consuming effort, the sort that he seems to embrace. With his form, it's a matter of repetitive drills, in and out of season. With the other stuff, it's a matter of video study.
Sunday, a small but impressive moment was the way he handled postgame questions about Allen's decision to play the second half so conservatively, holding Pryor's pass attempts to a minimum.
"I don't judge my coaches," Pryor answered. "Whatever they call, I believe in. To me, it made sense that we would hold the ball and try to run and get first downs because our defense was shutting them down."
That sounded like a pro. Meanwhile, Allen's assessment of Pryor's status also sounded like an NFL franchise being honest about an asset.
"We need to put him in position to accent his strengths," Allen said, "and try to limit the time that we ask him to do things that maybe he's not quite as good at."
It is such a change from the Raiders in the old days. Often, the front office tribe of Al Davis would become way too excited about a quarterback (or any player, really) after a few good performances and tout him as an example of the team's drafting brilliance. The Raiders aren't claiming Pryor is their next Super Bowl quarterback. But if and when that consistency arrives, they have every reason to believe he can get them back to the playoffs.

Conceived around a campfire, born in a tavern parking lot and raised in one of the last bastions of the Wild West, the Man of the Cliff turns four this year.
And in a region that has spent decades searching for an event to pull fall visitors into town the same way an average summer weekend attracts guests, it seems we've finally found it in Red Cliff, one of the last areas anyone ever cared to look. The Man of the Cliff's ax-throwing, archery and wood-chopping competition has become synonymous with autumn in Eagle County, and has created a scene to which many look forward all year.
That uniqueness of that scene - a gathering of beards and flannel in the parking lot of Mango's, a bar/restaurant in Red Cliff - has no doubt led to its success.
And in a great reversal of the standard, the idea has actually worked out better in execution than it sounded in conception.
"We started talking about it years before we actually did it, and it was always a kind of campfire discussion," recalls organizer/founder Amanda Williams. "When it was first starting, I went door to door to try and get people pumped about it and everybody kinda had the same response - beer and axes? You're really going to do that? ... It has since evolved into a much smoother-running machine, now we've been able to have sponsors contacting us to be involved, which is a lot different than begging people to just donate something."
The presenting sponsor of the event is now Stranahans Colorado Whiskey, with Bonfire Brewery making special "Wood Splitter" beer for the event.
The competition at the event has seen improvements, as well, with a new spear throw event that debuted last year.
"It's different than a javelin in that you're throwing for accuracy," said Williams. "And the weight is distributed differently with one end being heavier."
The only thing expected to be different for this year's competition is a new arsenal of Texas-made hatchets, technically called tomahawks, for the ax-throwing event.
Crowds of the cliff
Of course, with more sponsors and new competitions come more and new crowds.
In a town that has a population of 267 (as of the 2010 census), bringing 2,000 people in for a weekend can cause a headache.
Mango's owner Chris Keran said parking has been one of the major challenges, but the event can continue to grow despite those hurdles.
"We do have kind of a boiling point in town where we can't get much bigger," said Keran. "But if we get creative with parking and transportation, this is the type of place where we can have a festival feel throughout the town. With multiple spots - up at the school, out at the parks - we have a lot more land in town; it could become more of a festival feel with more people benefiting."
Nevertheless, the end goal of the event is to raise money for charity, and bringing all those people to town brings a fair share of proceeds to First Descents, a group for which Williams had a soft spot for long before starting the event.
"I've been volunteering with First Descents since I first moved to the valley; they just seemed to be a good fit," said Williams. "They're the same age group, same kind of crew, same kind of outdoor mentality, and we've just been going with them ever since."
In the three years it's now been running, Man of the Cliff has raised more than $20,000 for First Descents, a charity which helps improve the lives of young adults with cancer by taking them on outdoor expeditions like rafting and climbing trips. And as the charity has helped raise awareness of the event, the event has helped raise awareness for the charity, as well.
"It's actually one of the first causes I understand and I support," said Matt Luby, a Man of the Cliff regular who became aware of First Descents through the event. "I think it's a great cause."
Luby comes in from Denver every year to attend. His fondest memory from Man of the Cliff is making finals in the ax throwing competition, even though he likes the caber toss the best.
"It's an intense throw-down," he said. "It's kind of reconnected us to the Highland Games."
Plan of the Cliff
Speed chopper Brian Cerkvenik, another Denver resident who attends Man of the Cliff every year, said he plans for the event all year long.
"One my best friends was going to have an engagement party over the weekend of Man of the Cliff and I told him he had to reschedule it," said Cerkvenik, who grew up chopping wood in Minnesota. "I book a room at the Green Bridge Inn every year as soon as I know the weekend is set."
The Green Bridge Inn represents the only hotel in town, and one of your only choices for Red Cliff lodging outside of the camping option.
"Once you're there, you don't want to have to drive out of Red Cliff," Cerkvenik said.
Mango's co-owner Chris Keran also doubles as a manager of the Green Bridge Inn. He said since the event is always the first weekend in October, the hotel starts filling up before the actual dates have been confirmed.
"This year I think we had nearly 40 percent booking before they event announced the event," he said. "The first booking started at least two months out, and we were fully booked a month out, maybe even longer than that."
Keran said despite the fact they sell out without fail every year, the Green Bridge Inn doesn't play the typical lodging-industry supply and demand game, and keeps to their normal rates - $129 for a regular room and $149 for a suite - even when they're down to their last bed.
"This weekend does offer us the opportunity to take advantage," Keran said. "We could charge $300 for a room because it's right across from the event. But we try to be huge advocates for the town of Red Cliff ... It's a fairness thing. The way we run our business up in Red Cliff is not the same way the big hotels run their businesses."

Actress�Scarlett Johansson�gave birth to a baby girl in New York City�on Thursday,�The Associated Press�reports. It is the first child for Johansson and her fianc� Romain Dauriac.
And despite the couple's own less than common first names, the new parents went the classic route by naming their girl Rose Dorothy. Dorothy is the name of Johansson's grandmother, and Rose is, like Scarlett, another shade of red.
The craziest celebrity baby names
Johansson's pregnancy was�first announced�in March. A rep for the 29-year-old actress says mother and baby are doing well and are seeking privacy in support of the No Kids Policy, the idea that celebrity children be kept out of the media's eye.

pardon me if this is answered somewhere else, I did some searching and couldn't find a good answer.
I have ps3 media server working wonderfully on my headless archlinux machine. I stream mostly downloaded content to my ps3 and it works great.
I'm looking for tips for using mencoder to rip some dvds to play via pms. I feel like there must be a really great and obvious answer but I have yet to find it. Every attempt I've made at ripping dvds results in a file that plays great in VLC on my desktop but gives me corrupted data errors or has messed up audio when played via PSM on the ps3.
Preferably I'd use mencoder on my headless linux box to rip these dvds.
Anyone have known working command line options to accomplish this?

1.1-5 Questions by Jurors
Revised to January 1, 2008
In most trials, only the lawyers,
and, at times, the judge, ask questions of the witnesses, and the jurors do
not have any opportunity to ask questions. In this case I have decided that
it may be useful to allow you that opportunity as well.
This is the procedure we will
After the lawyers have each
finished questioning a witness, I will have the (marshal / clerk) collect
from you any question that you have written down that you would like the
witness to answer.
I will review those questions out
of your presence. If they are questions that are permitted under the rules
of evidence and under the rules that apply to trials such as this one, I
will ask the question, or the substance of it, to the witness. You should
not take it personally or make any adverse inference should your question
not be asked. The lawyers will then have an opportunity to ask the witness
any questions that follow from that question and answer.
Practice Book § 16-7;
Spitzer v. Haims & Co., 217 Conn. 532, 546-48 (1991).
It is within the discretion of
the trial judge to allow questioning by jurors.

The original Dead Rising featured a full set of Mega Man armor and a functional Mega Buster. Well, if Capcom's bringing back Frank West, why not bring back a Mega Man costume? So they did, with a twist.
This time you get Protoman armor, with a functioning arm cannon, of course. It takes some doing to assemble the suit, according to this GameFAQs user. You get the boots free; the shield and blaster are awarded for completing the game and getting the S ending. You gotta medal in all 30 challenges, save Jack and play poker with him, or defeat him in Sandbox mode.
Then you have to start another game with that save file—but not under New Game Plus. The blaster holds only 50 ammo.
Dead Rising 2: Off The Record Has An Easter Egg For Mega Man Fans

NEW YORK – Steve Smoger was officiating the 168th title bout of his 29-year career on Dec. 3 when Miguel Cotto stopped Antonio Margarito in the 10th round for a successful defense of his WBC belt at Madison Square Garden.
Cotto-Margarito ended somewhat controversially, with ringside doctors advising Smoger, against his desires, to wave an end to the bout as a result of Margarito's swollen and badly closed right eye. Many were skittish about the eye even before the fight began, as an encounter with Manny Pacquiao some 13 months earlier had fractured Margarito's right orbital bone to the point that the area required three surgeries to repair.
As a result of the injury against Pacquiao, Margarito was not cleared by the New York State Athletic Commision to fight Cotto until Nov. 23. Margarito, nevertheless, argued that the fight was stopped prematurely, claiming that he was coming on and was on his way toward repeating his initial conquest of Cotto.
In this Q&A, Smoger told RingTV.com that he agreed with Margarito. Smoger's track record is one of allowing fights to be contested to their violent conclusion, mainly meaning that the fighters' fists or their corners stop bouts that do not last through to the decision.
When the area around the right eye of junior middleweight Pawel Wolak became swollen to the size of a softball during his 10-round, majority draw with Delvin Rodriguez in July, for example, Smoger allowed the fight to continue to its conclusion.
"Smoger's credentials are that he refereed the first Wolak-Rodriguez fight and with Wolak's eye really swollen, he let the fight continue to the end," said Top Rank Inc. CEO Bob Arum. "So Smoger is a gutty guy. He has balls. He's a ballsy referee, and I think that that's what people want to see."
Smoger also spoke to RingTV.com regarding last Saturday night's upset split-decision victory by Lamont Peterson over Amir Khan.

The Summit High School orchestra, symphonic, concert, and jazz bands join forces Wednesday to present their winter instrumental music concert, taking place from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at the high school. The concert will feature many different musical styles, concluding with a grand finale performance of film music from "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory."
Approximately 100 students have been rehearsing all semester for the concert.
"We have spent a lot of time on rhythm and dance this semester, including learning how dance influences different styles of music," said Linda Shea, director of instrumental music. "The focus has been swing dance and world music - such as the group from Ghana that taught us to dance."
In addition to the instrumental music program, Summit High offers two choirs directed by Cathie Hill, who also teaches guitar and piano classes.
"We are able to do this because we are supported by a complete middle school program, including sixth-, seventh- and eight-grade bands, orchestra and choirs," Shea said, applauding Mark Koob for the band feeder program, which ensures the proficiency of woodwind, brass and percussion students in accordance with the high school curriculum and state standards. "Mark Clark does the same with the strings and Donna Clark for the choir," she said.
Shea settled on music from "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" while attending the Texas Music Educators Conference in San Antonio. "I am constantly looking for music that all of our students can perform together (strings, winds, percussion) and it is especially fun to perform medleys from movie soundtracks, since that is where you find some of today's most talented composers," she said. "Amongst the 1,000 exhibits I found this piece. Turns out it's perfect because it's fun and familiar."
Several members of this year's high school concert band have been rehearsing and performing with Summit Concert Band, the community band that rehearses at the high school on Thursday nights. "This year's concert band is the best I've had here at Summit High School," Shea said. "The students are constantly admiring each other as they go into one another's classes to rehearse for the grand finale. ... They are a very polite and friendly group of students and I am very proud of them."
The orchestra has a surprise in store for Wednesday's concert, once again, and organizers are hoping for a big turnout. Admission is free and the concert takes place from 6:30-8:30.

Tom Perkins Regrets His Nazi Comparison, but Not the Message
Tom Perkins, co-founder of the venerable venture-capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, said Monday that he regrets comparing the verbal assault on wealthy Americans to "Kristallnacht" of Nazi Germany.
But he said he stands by his message.
"I regret the use of that word," he said in an interview on Bloomberg TV. "It was a terrible misjudgment. I don't regret the message at all."
In recent days, Perkins has faced a firestorm of criticism after writing a letter to the Wall Street Journal, in which he likened the bubbling class warfare in Silicon Valley to the persecution of Jewish people in Nazi Germany.
In that letter, dated Jan. 24, he said:
"Writing from the epicenter of progressive thought, San Francisco, I would call attention to the parallels of fascist Nazi Germany to its war on its "one percent," namely its Jews, to the progressive war on the American one percent, namely the "rich."
The letter sparked heated debate, as several prominent voices in Silicon Valley took to Twitter to bash Perkins.
His own firm, where he is no longer active, sought to distance itself from their co-founder, noting in a tweet that he "has not been involved in KPCB in years." Venture capitalist Marc Andreessen used an expletive to describe Perkins.
On Monday, Perkins acknowledged he went too far – but was defensive about his central thesis, that America's top "1%" are being unfairly attacked. "As a messenger, I've been thoroughly killed by everybody," he said.
When asked to clarify his message, Perkins said: "Anytime the majority starts to demonize a minority, no matter what it is, it's wrong. And dangerous. And no good ever comes from it."
In the discussion, hosted by Bloomberg's Emily Chang, Mr. Perkins said he was aware of the struggles of the other half. As a self-professed, self-made man, he described himself as a former member of the 99%. He said he too had family members who lived in trailers – though none in his immediate family.
But Perkins seemed more disturbed by what he called the demonization of the rich, a class he also describes as the "creative 1%." He said he first thought of Kristallnact or the Night of Broken Glass when he saw crowds break windows during the Occupy protests in San Francisco. Since then, he has been further dismayed by the ongoing vilification of the group, which he sees as the country's top job creators. Toward the end of the interview, he also warned young entrepreneurs to be "aware of where the liberal flag is leading."
"It's absurd to demonize the rich for being rich and doing what the rich do, which is get richer by creating opportunity for others," he said.
During the interview, Mr. Perkins also provided some insight on his complicated relationship with the firm that bears his name. He frequently referred to current and former Kleiner partners as "my" partners, but said he was disappointed that the firm was so quick to rebuke his letter.
"They didn't need to say anything, but they chose, I guess, to throw me under the bus and I didn't like that."
Still, he saved a dig, for Kleiner's current partners.
"As I've distanced myself from the firm, there's been a corresponding decline in the firm," he said.

I'm Ashley (McMillan) Weightman. I grew up in the small town of Wimbledon, North Dakota. In 2005 I moved to Bismarck to go to school where I graduated from the University of Mary with a Bachelors Degree in Communications and Business. I began working at the CBS affiliate as a reporter while in college and spent three years there. From CBS, I moved to Devils Lake to work at WDAZ-TV for a year, before continuing to work at WDAZ in Grand Forks. I married the love of my life Travis on June 23, 2012 and we now live in Bismarck with our three year old son, Corbin. Travis works at KXMB-TV and I at KLJ Engineering and attend Rasmussen College where I'm pursing a Bachelors Degree in Human Resources Management and Organizational Leadership.
Weight has been a struggle for me since I can remember. I do well for a while and then fall off the wagon. Four years ago I lost nearly 50lbs and was doing great. Two months after maintaining my weight, I found out that I was pregnant and gained 70lbs in nine months. I figured after I had Corbin, some of the pounds would fall off. Corbin weight 8lbs 12oz and I only lost 3lbs. Ever since December of 2009, I've been doing fad diets for about a month, trying the gym on and off, and eat healthy and nothing seems to be working. I've recently had some health issues and my doctor told me that in order to have more children and be a part of my children's life, I need to lose weight, but most importantly, I need to do it for me.
Today we went shopping for bridesmade dresses for my brothers wedding. I hated everything about the idea. I know that dresses in my size are hard to find and all of the other bridesmaids are tall and thin and by tall..I mean one of them is 6'2". I told the attendent my size and the first dress she brought me was three sizes to small. I hated it. HATED IT. Then she brought me two sizes bigger, which still isn't the size I said. Little did I know, it fit!!!!! I was excited.
However, then I looked in the mirror and wasn't a fan. Dress shopping is something that is supposed to be fun, but it wasn't. I need to lose weight, I'm aware of that. I don't want to be the fat bridesmaid.
On another note, we, as in Travis, Corbin, and myself, attended a wedding in Grand Forks this last weekend. I saw several people I knew and several that felt they "knew all about me" from when I was on TV. Many said I'm looking great. It was weird for me to think that I was looking good when really nothing has changed.
Then, I thought more positively. A lot of statistics says that on average, people gain 10lbs a year. I gained twolbs and that's not bad. It could have been 10. That's a plus right?

Meal time is a struggle in our home.Everyone likes different things. One wants it cut this way the other cut that way but with no sauce. I often feel like a short order cook." Ok you ( flipping my knife in the air) how do you like it, small pieces, well done, over easy, and what about you mushy or crispy, hold the dressing?". My oldest was my first picky of all picky eaters i think he ate three certain foods through his formative years. Luckily his teen hunger has taken over and his pickiness is trumped by the need to clear out all the food in the fridge and pantry in one seating, and still be the skinniest kid on the block.
My Dovie is now the champion of food strikes. Words like gross, disgusting, and good ol yuck, were so common in his vocab that one of his teachers taught him to say, its not my taste. This is more polite , but it still breaks this Jewish mother's heart when every meal is joined with a sweet little voice saying "its not my taste". I needed to find a solution, honestly i just needed to get some food in this kids stomach. I started feeding him garbage, pure junk food, because at least he wasn't running on empty. This was not a solution and hard on my good parenting soul.
Then i had an idea....
There are a few foods Dovie will eat. For some reason he likes veggie sushi. He also likes peanut butter and honey sandwiches ( dont ever bring jelly around this kid). He likes apples as long as they are cut up, and he likes the kid basics: cheese, crackers, pizza,chips, and chocolate. I decided i was going to make his lunches with his healthy versions of his favorite foods in a small less overwhelming package.
I decided to go Bento style, the Japanese way of packing meals, and it worked . He came home from school for the first time ever with an empty lunch box. He told me he loved his lunch and ate every bit of it up. I couldn't believe this worked and ever since i have been devoted to making him his little lunch packages.
What i use..
1.LunchBots Pico Stainless Steel Lunch Container
2. Silicone cupcake liners, bought at TJMax, or Wilton 415-9400 Easy Flex Silicone 3-Inch Reusable Baking Cups, 12 Count
3. A really sharp chopping knife. Like Kuhn Rikon 4-Inch Nonstick Colori Paring Knife, Set of 3
I wouldnt even waste your time with another brand, seriously i love my knifes.
4. Small cookie cutter shapes
I know you are looking at these pics and saying there is no way i can do this. Trust me you can. I am not a fan of the kitchen i would eat out any day, but somethings are more important. I one day made the choice to feed my children in a healthier way. Sometimes to accomplish these things you have to think outside of the box, or step inside one. Who knew?
My Jewish heart now rests easy knowing my little guy has enough fuel to get him through the day.
* Edited... i am adding some more info here on how to pack this kind of lunch instead of emailing everyone back. I hope that is ok? The two most common questions i have gotten are "How do you keep from everything sliding around" and " Why is plastic not safe"?
1. The trick to keep from everything mixing is packing everything very tight and all the way to the top. I use the silicone liners to keep everything even snugger. I make sure everything is packed all the way to the lid. This help with the sliding. If you notice i put the cucumber salad in a tiny tuperware ( i am still trying to find a non-plastic version). I put its own lid on ( not pictured) before i put the boxes main lid. My son had complained a few times that the dressing leaked onto his other food, so i started using the tupperware to prevent leakage.I also put the box in a upright lunch box, but i assume there has been some moving in transport. When i first started doing this i would check when we got to school and as long as i packed it tight it was good.
2. Why no plastic? Plastic has toxins that can leak into food. You can read more about it here. We are not completely plastic free, but i try including using glass bottles for Rozie when she was a baby.

CORPUS CHRISTI - Former Islander Trey Hernandez has signed a professional baseball contract with the Brockton (Mass.) Rox of the independent Canadian-American League. Hernandez completed his career as Texas A&M - Corpus Christi's all-time leader in home runs, doubles and RBI.
Hernandez made his professional debut on Thursday, June 23, going 0-for-3 as the Rox designated hitter in a 5-3 loss to Rockland. In Friday night's contest, the Robstown native delivered a pinch-hit RBI double for his first hit as a pro baseball player.
The first baseman finished his senior season with a .322 average to go along with 14 doubles, 11 home runs and 49 RBI. Additionally, he drew a team-leading 44 walks, enabling him to post a .438 on-base percentage and a .567 slugging for a 1.005 OPS (on-base plus slugging). He led the team with 51 runs and committed just one error in 539 chances for a .998 fielding percentage.
In his Islanders career, he slugged 50 doubles and 50 home runs, the only player in school history to reach either milestone. He also topped the 200-RBI mark, finishing his tenure with the team at 201 runs driven in. He was selected as a Second Team All-Southland Conference selection following both the 2010 and 2011 campaigns.
Hernandez joins Todd Simko (GCL Nationals) and Matt Holland (GCL Phillies) as members of the 2011 Islanders to move on to the professional ranks. Holland made his minor-league debut on Tuesday, while Simko has yet to make an appearance with his club.

Top bosses at the Bay Area's largest companies reaped pay increases during fiscal 2012 that far outpaced wage increases for average workers in the region -- as well as the returns that shareholders enjoyed from the performance of the executives' companies.
Chief executive officers with 177 large publicly held companies in the Bay Area captured total pay packages that averaged $6.75 million, which was up 18.4 percent from fiscal 2011, according to this newspaper's analysis of a survey conducted by Equilar, a Redwood City-based company that tracks executive compensation.
The 18 percent average increase for CEO pay in the Bay Area compared with a 7.4 percent average increase in total shareholder return for the same group of companies.
"There seems to be a disconnect between pay and the performance of the company in some cases," said Brandon Cherry, San Francisco-based West Coast practice leader for executive compensation with the Hay Group, a consulting firm.
Ideally, he said, compensation would move in the same direction and to the same extent as total shareholder return.
"You would want the executives to be in the same shoes as the shareholders as much as possible," said Mae Lon Ding, president of Personnel Systems Associates, an Anaheim Hills-based firm that tracks executive pay. "But the total pay packages seem to be inappropriate."
The gains in total pay for CEOs also are far ahead of the 1 percent increase in average wages for workers in the nine-county region that was reported in a separate survey by state labor officials.
"A lot of workers are getting foreclosed on and filing for bankruptcy," said Mike Henneberry, a spokesman for the United Food and Commercial Workers Union.
The increase in CEO pay is being driven by the portions of the total pay package that are based on stock options and direct grants of stock. Equity-based compensation has much more of an impact on a CEOs pay than does salary, bonuses and other cash-based incentive programs, the Equilar survey shows.
"The true wealth in these pay packages comes from equity awards, so that gives the CEO a real stake in the performance of the company," said Aaron Boyd, director of governance research with Equilar. "The company has to perform well and have growth for the executives to realize the value from their stock packages. They have to produce consistent and strong performance."
The average salary for the CEOs in the companies surveyed by Equilar fell 0.1 percent, and the average bonus and cash incentive programs declined 15 percent. In contrast, stock option packages rose in value by an average of 27.5 percent and direct grants of stock rose an average of 31.2 percent.
"Options are a very popular device for rewarding executives, and that's especially true for Silicon Valley companies and tech companies in general," said Michelle Leder, editor of Footnoted.com, an online site that tracks corporate governance issues. "That has really become part of the high-tech culture."
Yet stock options might not be an effective tool to rein in executive pay during years when a company's stock performance is lousy. Experts point out that executives can delay cashing in their options during a poor year for the stock price, and wait for better timing.
"Executives often get rewarded on the upside, but they don't seem to get punished on the downside," said Loren Rodgers, executive director with the Oakland-based National Center for Employee Ownership.
CEOs also tend to vary the blend of bonuses and salary compared with stock packages, said David Broman, chief executive and partner with Lafayette-based Syzygy Consulting Group, an executive pay consulting company. "The CEOs always seem to be able to work the path up, and never seem to ride the path down."
The highest paid CEO in the Bay Area during fiscal 2012 was Larry Ellison, the top boss at Redwood City-based Oracle (ORCL). Ellison was rewarded with a total pay package of $96.2 million, which was up 24 percent from fiscal 2011. Yet Equilar found that Oracle's total returns to shareholders fell 21.9 percent over that period.
Despite such disparities, experts say compensation reform efforts continue to try to better link pay with performance.
"Everyone is trying harder, and there is a big effort to make compensation be appropriate," Broman said. "There is a lot of work to make the system better, but it's been in place so long, that change takes time to occur."

Boehner Attacks Senate 'Arrogance' as Deadline Approaches
WASHINGTON–House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio) issued a statement blasting Democrats for not reconvening the Senate sooner, in the latest round of recriminations over a rapidly approaching government shutdown.

If the Senate reconvenes as planned Monday afternoon, Democrats will be engaging in an act of "breathtaking arrogance," Mr. Boehner said in a written statement early Sunday afternoon.
"They will be deliberately bringing the nation to the brink of a government shutdown for the sake of raising taxes on seniors' pacemakers and children's hearing aids and plowing ahead with the train wreck that is the president's health care law," Mr. Boehner said.
The top House Republican urged Senate leaders to pass on Sunday the legislation approved by the GOP-controlled House early Sunday morning that would keep the government running for the first two and a half months of the fiscal year, which begins Tuesday. On Saturday House Republicans added to the stopgap spending bill provisions that would delay the implementation of the federal health-care overhaul by one year and repeal the law's tax on medical devices.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) has said Senate Democrats will reject both those provisions. The Senate is expected to vote Monday to remove the GOP-backed provisions and send a stripped spending bill back to the House. It remains uncertain whether the two chambers will be able to agree on a stopgap spending measure before the midnight Monday deadline.
Senate Democrats fired back Sunday afternoon that House Republicans could avert a partial government shutdown by passing the spending bill without the health-care provisions.
"All the other games and brinksmanship by Speaker Boehner are not aimed at avoiding a shutdown, but are merely a subterfuge to lift the blame from his shoulders, and they will not succeed," Sen. Charles Schumer (D., N.Y.) said in a written statement Sunday.

LAFAYETTE -- Freedom is never free.
The four-word phrase stamped itself into permanent, collective memory on Dec. 7, 1941, when Japan attacked the U.S. Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor, starting a world war, ending lives and forever changing a brash, confident America.
At a Dec. 2 Lafayette Historical Society presentation, the words resonated at the end of the first stanza of Pearl Harbor survivor E.J. "Chuck" Kohler's remembrance poem, making men and women weep.
Gathered to honor the sacrifices made on a day when military tactic equaled terroristic attack -- there was no preceding declaration of war, although it is common knowledge there were warnings an assault was imminent -- approximately 50 people, including five World War II veterans, experienced the devastation through the rapid-fire recall of 88-year-old Kohler.
Stationed on Ford Island in the middle of Pearl Harbor, Kohler was then 17, a fresh-faced farm boy from Minnesota.
"I was up in an office trying to type a letter to my dear, sweet mother," Kohler began. "I was hunt-and-pecking, when I heard an approaching aircraft."
The sound wasn't unusual; this was a naval air base. But it was Sunday, and that struck him as odd.
"Then the sound changed. I knew it was in a power dive. Even so, I told myself it was a pilot doing some hot-dogging. I was thinking, 'I don't want to be in his shoes when the captain finds out.' Little did I know, we were in a lot more trouble than that."
A tremendous explosion shot glass and debris into the room. Stunned, Kohler thought he'd best get outside to help. Ripping the letter from the typewriter to avoid possible later punishment, he crumpled the note, tossed it aside and rushed outside to a world he'd never encountered before.
"I saw a plane coming in with blinking, flashing lights. Being a farm boy, I didn't recognize them -- found out later they were actually machine guns going off," he laughed, amazed at his ignorance and the inexplicable luck allowing him to tell his story 71 years later.
A bomb, strapped to the bottom of the plane was a considerable distraction.
"When I saw that big red Rising Sun by the starboard wing -- I realized these weren't the friendly boys I thought they were," Kohler said.
After being chewed out by a duty officer for refusing to take cover in a construction ditch ("I wanted my family to know that I died fighting, not hiding," Kohler declared), he and another soldier took action.
"There were bombs and bullets ringing down and all our ammo was locked up. We finally got a mounted machine gun. The biggest gun I'd ever handled on the farm was a .22. This thing was like a canon without wheels!"
They managed to hoist it up into a plane.
"Now, I'm hearing popping sounds; bullets slamming through the fuselage. My country boy instinct kicked in -- where I grew up, being a good shot was the difference between dinner and going hungry -- and I laced a trail along one plane."
Eventually, Kohler said planes "like swarms of bees" descended, before the smoke grew thick and blacked them out. Pointing to a nearby Japanese photo, taken at approximately 8 a.m., he showed the audience an unscathed USS Arizona, moments before it was hit and sank.
"I went back in 2010 for the very first time in 64 years," he said. "I went on the USS Arizona Memorial -- the ship I'd seen blown up, the bodies floating in the water, the waste of war I remembered -- but this time, it was different."
Instead of describing his feelings, Kohler read a poem he wrote after returning to his Concord home. It is a call to never forget, and a declaration for a cause he champions with the fervor of a young boy: preserving and lighting the Mount Diablo beacon.
"Go to the light at the top of Mount Diablo and light the light," Kohler's poem concluded.
Wayne Korsinen, a retired Antioch High School history teacher and chairman of the Pearl Harbor Day Ceremony on Mount Diablo, opened the program with a lively dramatization. Presenting the attack through the historical character of then-Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox, Korsinen illuminated the shock and surprise of the attack.
Questions from the audience received explanations of Japan's reasons for bombing U.S. battleships (a belief that surface engagement would win the war -- not aircraft) and how midget submarines tracking U.S. ships and mobile radar signals showing unidentified "blips" were dismissed by American military commanders.
Kohler, looking as if he could, even today, resist the monumental force of an invading army, encouraged young and old to "never forget" and to "light the light" on Mount Diablo at 3:45 p.m. Friday, Dec. 7.

I don't disagree at all. It's a short read, fun, and it is what is it is, as they say. I'll be curious to see what the discussion brings out -- there may be levels to the book that I wasn't aware of.ReplyDelete

VIENNA, W.Va. - Six members of the Cincinnati Reds organization visited the Grand Central Mall as part of the annual Reds Caravan Friday, and with them came a whole lot of excitement for the upcoming season.
All-star second baseman Brandon Phillips and hall of fame broadcaster Marty Brennaman highlighted the group, and were joined by minor leaguer Tucker Barnhart, assistant general manager Bob Miller, former first baseman Todd Benzinger and broadcaster Chris Welsh.
Brennaman said there is reason to believe for Reds fans in 2013.
Article Photos
DAVE POE Special to The Times
Several hundred Cincinnati Reds fans await the annual Reds Caravan to obtain autographs at the Grand Central Mall in Vienna, W.Va., Friday.
"I think this is a better team right now than it was at the same date last year," Brennaman said, "simply because they traded for a leadoff hitter, which they've not had since I can remember."
The hall of famer was referring to ex-Indian Shin-Soo Choo, whom the Reds traded for this offseason. Choo is expected to be inserted into the leadoff spot in the lineup and play centerfield.
The acquisition of Choo means Phillips will likely move down to the second spot in the batting order, a place he has had much more success during his career. The gold glover admits, however, that other aspects of the game will likely be the biggest keys.
"We're a pitching and defense type of team," Phillips said. "We get key hits in key situations. That's why we won so many games last year."
Miller also emphasized the importance of pitching as well as players staying healthy.
"We did luck out a little bit last year as the starters didn't miss a turn the whole year," Miller said. "Right now we feel like we're 9-10 deep as far as starting pitching goes. We feel pretty happy with our depth. It's important to have as much pitching as we can find."
Last year was a magical ride for the Reds and their fans. The team won 97 games and saw several new players come up big en route to making the playoffs for the second time in three years. However, it all ended in bitter fashion as the Giants claimed a five-game series victory after dropping the first two decisions.
"Last year was so bizarre because they played like world champions the first two games in San Francisco," Brennaman said. "They came home leading two games to none and can't win any games."
It's an ending fans and the players would like to forget. Another successful campaign in '13 would go along way in doing so. With the leadoff spot shored up, this is a ball club with very few weaknesses. The rotation, bullpen and lineup all figure to be top five in the National League. The bench was solidified with the signings of infielders Jack Hannahan and Jason Donald to replace aging vets Miguel Cairo and Wilson Valdez. The team also has some bright young prospects in the farm system, most notably speedster Billy Hamilton and pitchers Tony Cingrani and Daniel Corcino, but on this club, the youngsters may be a year or two away.
"There will be no young guys making this club," Brennaman said. "Not this year. This is probably as set a 25-man roster as this team has had in years."
With that in mind, all signs seem to point toward another "Red October" this season.
Cincinnati supporters received another piece of good news earlier this week when it was announced that Great American Ball Park would host the 2015 MLB All-Star Game. It will be the first All-Star game in the Queens City since 1988.
It's almost impossible not to be thrilled if you're a Reds fan right now, and much to the delight of team.
"The fans, they come support us," Phillips said. "If you've got the fans on your back, you can't do no wrong."

STOCKTON - One man was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder but another escaped after a gunshot was fired during a business robbery Wednesday evening in Stockton, authorities said.
Two men entered a business in the 2300 block of Grand Canal Boulevard shortly after 5 p.m., police said.
One distracted the employees while the other reached over the counter and took personal property, officers said.
The employees gave chase when the robbers ran from the business, authorities said.
The employees caught one of the men and wrestled him to the ground, but the man got back to his feet, pulled out a handgun and fired one shot before fleeing on foot, police said.
Responding officers apprehended the gunman nearby, authorities said. Jarrell Ellis, 18, was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, carrying a concealed firearm, carrying a loaded firearm, burglary, receiving stolen property and conspiracy, police said.
The second robber was not located, officers said. He was described as a white man, 16 to 20 years old, standing 5 feet 6 to 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing 140 to 150 pounds with light brown or blond hair, blue eyes, a black shirt and dark pants, police said.

Targeted TV Ads Closer to Reality, Entrepreneurs Say
Television, with an advertising market that dwarfs any part of the digital landscape, has long been an attractive target for entrepreneurs and venture capitalists.
Many companies set out to bring Internet-style, targeted advertisements to that market, but after more than a decade of trying, both by startups and tech giants, no one's yet taken a significant chunk of it.
"The irony, after so many years, is that the online ad world never really got to the adult table of advertising," said Dave Morgan, who founded Tacoda, one of the earliest behavioral targeting companies and Real Media, an early ad network. The problem, he says, is that so many tech companies were looking to provide the perfect way to deliver television ads and they let that get in the way of providing a better way.
His current company, Simulmedia, is working on a better way. Now that audiences are scattered across cable and broadcast television, due to the rise in quality of cable shows in recent years, Simulmedia runs an ad network that enables advertisers to buy those audiences across shows.
But companies working on the "perfect way," like New York-based Invidi Technologies, are seeing more reasons than ever to be optimistic that the time has come for advertisers to deliver ads to television viewers based on an individual's location, past viewing habits, household and demographic data.
"I've always just jokingly wondered when that line of people was going to form in front of our door wanting to put in this great technology, and 10 years and thousands of business calls later, it's happening," said Dave Downey, Invidi's chief executive.
There are several reasons for this, but more than any it's happening because service providers, like DirecTV have made it a priority, he said.
But new hopes also bring new competition. An article in today's VentureWire (subscription required) takes a deeper look at the prospects and challenges facing companies like Invidi that are trying to make targeted television ads a reality.

So i was just wondering if the cement tee pads were ever going to get put in? I know last year a group of guys went out and framed up a bunch of the pads but nothing had been done with them since, and i would wager all the framing will have to be redone since they have collapsed or have been torn up.
While we are on the subject, has the city just completely stopped doing any kind of maintainance out there? The wooded holes are covered in 3 ft high nettles and 5 ft high vegitation, in the middle of some fairways
I hope someone involved in either of these issues will step up with some answers
