Officials investigating video shot at PHS
March 6, 2013
PARKERSBURG —Wood County school officials are looking into a social media video recorded at Parkersburg High School last week....
The news needs to stop saying the teacher was in it. Throwing in the word "allegedly" doesn't stop people from running with it and condemning the teacher. He also "allegedly" told the kids NOT to film it... but they don't tell you that. He wasn't in it, he didn't film it. He shouldn't be fired. The 4 kids I saw were terribly inappropriate and I would be embarrassed if those were my kids. But I wouldn't blame the teacher. People are acting like he directed a ***** in gym class.

@ grinandbearit: The video that you say that is posted by South on you tube IS NOT PARKERSBURG SOUTH HIGH SCHOOL. It is South London. PSHS does not have multicolored tiles all over the floor ANYWHERE, and a little bit of reading below the video in the DESCRIPTION part will clear up your confusion. Quit trying to drag PSHS into the mud with PHS.

1. If it were my child in the video doing the provocative acts, we would be in Dr. Law's office apologizing for the behavior exhibited in this video. 2. My child would understand that his/her actions could have cost a teacher his career (thus, your choices have serious consequences). 3. Though I think I'm doing a good job as a parent, I must reexamine this. ***kids do stupid stuff. This is a learning experience for everyone involved if we allow it to be. Teacher definitely should have edited this video. Kids obviously do not realize the consequences to their actions.

PHS2015: I agree that the only kids who should get in trouble are the 4 doing those acts in the video. The rest of the kids were just having fun doing a Harlem Shake video. But I imagine you are trying to keep your teacher out of trouble because it has been reported numerous times that the teacher videotaped it. If not fine but then news outlets owe him a retraction.had those ids not done what they did.... then this would have been no big deal. A few always have to ruin it for all.

I am a student at PHS and I took part in the video as well. Those of you who are saying that the teacher filmed the video are incorrect, it was a student recording. Also, the three or four students who were doing the much inappropriate things were told not to do that, but proceeded to any way. In my opinion, those four students should be the ones who get in trouble...

What I don't get is the attitude that just because teens do things their parents don't know about and that they know way more than we would like them to it is OK for a teacher to allow it as well as videotape it? And to the comments of "if you don't like it put your kids in private schools"--So parents should have to just accept any kind of behavior from teachers or pay to educate our kids elsewhere? The kids need to be held accountable. But so do the teachers IF they allow the behavior in question. If this had happened when the teacher was out of the room then he would not be at fault. The fact that these kids probably do worse at parties is not the point.The teacher needs to be reprimanded.

I agree Proud. As for Jane what the heck is your problem? You hate special needs kids so much - I can't even wrap my head around your hate for children. Children who certainly didn't ask to be different. You are one sorry person.

Wake up "Reality"... I am not ignorant. lol I am aware and it is hard to offend me. Seriously. However, she could prolly teach me stuff. (JK) The point is that when you are a teacher you have put yourself in a position to set an example. It's not your place to encourage or allow this kind of behavior. Do you think those kids would have danced like that if their parents were watching right then? Do you really feel that this teacher didn't see the wrong? Do you really not see the wrong??

This issue is crazy! It's on fire on FB and apparently no different here. PARENTS claiming this was "just kids having fun" or "a teacher bonding with his students"... I have a 14 yr old daughter and if it were her being essentially dry humped with a cone thrusting her behind..or her lying on the floor with a clothed penis being thrust in her face..she would be in SOOOO much trouble! I feel the kids should be punished. They know better..or they should. As for the teacher who taped it..I am not sure that he should be fired but something should happen. You cannot tell me that he never thought...Hmmm this might upset somebody?!?!

If a teacher allowed, viewed and video taped the other one and it is the same kind of thing, then yes that teacher should be fired as well. Does not make the PHS teacher any less guilty

No one is saying the kids are innocent. Of course they do all kinds of things their parents do not see.Even if they had been on school grounds with no teacher around it would have been different. But for an educator to allow it is disgusting. He should be fired. It is not their job to encourage the bad behavior.

janeeyre who ever said these kids are special needs or have an IEP? And who cares if they did. The teacher should be fired period. Disciplinary actions for doing this on school property should be done if allowed whether or not a kid has an iep. This has nothing to do with the box story. I bet you are a teacher who worries about losing their own job and who thinks all kids are a problem

If there is any other video with these simulated acts, on school grounds with t he teacher in attendance then yes,the teacher should be fired as well. Don't care what school it is.

Well at least they were doing some exercise because the kids were tired of holding the # 2 title for the Fattest state in the Nation. Every time I come home, I see more and more fat people at their favorite two places..Walmart and McDonalds. They are kids..let it go and exercise yourself

I hope the kids who made and performed in this video got all of their "special needs" met! I also hope that this activity helped them meet the standards of their IEP's!Don't blame the kids or the school. Blame the parents! This is proof that we need some bondhead parenting classes in the MOV. Every parent of every kid who participated in thie video owes the school and apology.

buckeyefan21 This is the problem... These kids should all be punished for the crude acts they are doing in this video. The teacher should have never allowed this to happen and should not be included (behind the scenes or not) in this type of activity when these are all kids! Most of the Shake videos I have seen are in mostly good taste but this one went a bit far... I know for a fact that there are under age kids in this video!

Who Can Stop Neil Patrick Harris at the Tonys?
Neil Patrick Harris, the far-and-away favorite to win Best Actor in a musical at this weekend's Tony Awards, surprisingly split the vote in a tie with Jefferson Mays at the Drama Desk awards on Sunday. Mr. Mays, who stars in "A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder" plays all eight members of a withered, aristocratic family in the original musical, and won raves from critics. But many say he can't win the coveted Tony in a year when Mr. Harris is in the competition.
Tony voters and theater insiders say Mr. Harris can't lose the award – in part because of his stellar performance as a transgender, two-bit, rock-and-roll singer in "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" — and in part because the four-time Tony host is too beloved in the community.
"There is certainly a belief or expectation that because Neil Patrick Harris has the profile he has, that there's a certain inevitability to it," says Joey Parnes, the producer of "Gentleman's Guide." "But Jefferson is terrific in the role he plays, and is worthy of winning the award."
The Drama Desk consists of theater writers and editors and critics. The 120 or so members vote on categories that include Broadway, Off Broadway, and Off-Off Broadway within the same contest. There is very little crossover between the 800 Tony voters and the Drama Desk. There are rarely ties at the Tony awards (there have only been ten, ever), and the Drama Desk awards are not generally considered a bell weather for the Tonys. Voting on the Tonys closes on Friday, and a large percentage of ballots have not been cast, insiders say.
One Drama Desk voter, Samuel Leitner, picked Mr. Mays because "he had the most challenging role and because of what he had to accomplish to perform that role." He said he wasn't swayed at all by Mr. Harris's celebrity, and said that few would be. "It's simply a straightforward vote."
Isa Goldberg, the president of the Drama Desk, said the voters tend to lean more towards nuance when casting their ballots.
"The Drama Desk always chooses the most challenging performance," says Ms. Goldberg. "Our interest truly is the artistry. Tony Awards are for different reasons than simply artistry."
The Tonys are more commercial, and are considered to be more political, than the Drama Desk awards. They are telecast live on CBS from Radio City Music Hall to about 6 million viewers. As host, Mr. Harris, who was the star of CBS's "How I Met Your Mother" until it ended this year, has been a boon for ratings as one of the most recognizable and beloved American television actors.
Many Tony voters have a vested interest in the success of the shows they are voting on, especially the "road" voters, who are theater owners and operators around the country who will book Broadway shows when they go on tour. A block of Tony voters are also producers who can vote on their own shows. Insiders say the Best Actor categories aren't as political as, say, Best Musical, the winner of which will often tour as a result of a win.
"The Tony Awards need to embrace the country," said Ms. Goldberg, "and [Mr. Harris] is the only one that can do it. And the Tonys have to thank the man that emceed the show in the past. And it unbelievable what he does up there. He's an amazing actor."
"People love both actors," says theater producer and Tony voter Daryl Roth. "Jefferson is a wonderful theater actor and has the respect of everyone in the community, and people love Neil because he's Neil, and he's amazing in the show."
Still, the tie Sunday night indicates that "A Gentleman's Guide" is building a swell of support in the home stretch. It won seven awards at Sunday night's ceremony, including Best Musical, Best Book, and Best Director. The show is among the best reviewed of the year, and is in the running for Best Musical on Tony night as well. Mr. Mays may be at a disadvantage because his co-star, Bryce Pinkham, is also up for Best Actor, which could split his vote. Mr. Mays won the Tony for a similar split-personality role, when he played 40-plus characters in the 2003 tour de force "I am My Own Wife."

Hi all,
I searched in the FAQ & wiki's but couldn't find any information on this. Is there a way to have specific audio settings for specific devices? I have a ps3 that is attached to a receiver which I want to receive the full 5.1 DTS, no transcode/mux. But I also have a RaspberryPi, that is connected to a separate TV via hdmi->dvi & 3.5mm jack. For the RPi, I want PMS to pass the video on, but downmix the audio to stereo. Does anyone know of a way to do this?

iController is an iTunes controller for the status bar. iController also flashes the current artist and track name in the center of the screen when iTunes changes tracks. During playback the artist and track name are also scrolled over the controls in the status bar.
When the mouse is moved over the controls the scrollng text disappears and reveals the controls.
Also, there are configurable global hot keys to control play/pause next/previous and volume.
Required OS: not specified

Nice, but it quits when the artist field is blank. Can you fix it, or make option which fields we want to show?
Nice, but doesn't work properly for me (Leopard). Disappears from status bar, though app is still running. ByteController is similar and seems more stable. YMMV.
Is this really version 1.5 beta?
The latest version in the developer's website is 0.6 beta.
And in MacUdpdate they say it is Universal Binary.
(Maybe this page needs some correction.)
Works absolutely flawlessly on my intel mac. Nice and fast and as mentioned, very low resource usage...A+ and one of my faves
Not as configurable as Barquee...but then, it's free.
Uses a third less cpu power but a third more ram than barquee (roughly). Unlike Barquee, it has to run seperately (launch/quit on it's own ---- so usually have it always on) to iTunes like Quicktunes does, whereas barquee allows plugin use where it only starts up (and shuts down) with itunes, thereby conserving resources.
It also only has basic hotkeys (eg none for altering the rating)......but again, it's free.....whaddya expect?

Publisher Bryan Welch on philosophy, farming and building the world we want.
This essay is part of a longer work about the central role of mortality in sustainability, ethics and the human experience. It is scheduled to be published as part of a new book, Heroic Compassion: Life, Death and Destiny in the Human Epoch, in 2017.
We will soon face the necessity — and the opportunity — of voluntarily limiting our own life spans for the good of others.
We are almost ready to acknowledge the necessity of our own mortality. When we do, we will finally realize the full heroic potential of our species.
Our heroic potential is based on humanity's unique capacity for compassion and sacrifice.
Technology is helping us live long lives. A lot of smart people are working very hard to help us live even longer, maybe hundreds of years. In fact, human longevity may be the central preoccupation of science today. We've actually doubled our life expectancy in the last 150 years. Various researchers today believe we're close to curing diabetes, influenza, meningitis, heart disease, leukemia, breast cancer and prostate cancer. The big thinkers at Google have set their sights even higher. The giant search-engine company is funding broad research aimed at preventing aging itself with a vision of a world in which no person would ever grow old or, presumably, die.
Yet our mortality is necessary to the health, prosperity and the very survival of future human generations, not to mention every other living thing on this planet. The human population has more than doubled IN MY LIFETIME. Every environmental problem, every vexing puzzle of human sustainability, is traceable back to the rapid growth of our population. If we acknowledge that human overpopulation could exhaust resources and threaten the habitat, then human longevity obviously is a major risk factor.
So we may be called upon, individually, to volunteer to die.
The good news is, we are capable of realizing this necessity and of making this sacrifice. After all, people give their lives every day in the service of their societies. Soldiers, police officers, firefighters and physicians all risk their lives on a daily basis to protect other people. The evidence is clear: We will sacrifice our own lives for the greater good.
As a species, we now have the chance to realize this potential for heroic compassion on a global scale. Individually. One heroic person at a time.
When we acknowledge the necessity of our own deaths, we will fulfill humanity's destiny as the most compassionate and heroic creatures in the universe, the only creatures capable of making this sacrifice consciously.
That's pretty exciting, don't you think?
The idea has changed my experience of life, entirely for the better. After it occurred to me that my own mortality was necessary to the health and happiness of future generations — including my own great-great-grandchildren — death was no longer so frightening. I mean, if I had the choice between immortality and children, I would choose to die. Rather than going on forever I would want those future generations of children to live in my place. When I realized I have chosen death, it suddenly doesn't seem so frightening any more. Death is the destiny I want.
Plus, my new awareness of the human potential for heroic compassion caused me to see people — all people — in a new light. Each of the people surrounding me in the airport terminal is capable of heroic sacrifice. All the people on the train, each person in the restaurant, even the harried shoppers in line at the grocery store are each capable of accepting death so that others may live.
If we fail to meet the challenge, then the degradation of our only viable habitat — Earth — is on us. The extinctions are on us. The suffering is on us. In a sense, it's an evolutionary challenge. We need compassion to survive. If we are wiped out by some environmental, military or health catastrophe related to overpopulation, then we have failed to adapt in time.
Past generations developed strong bodies and brains. They invented technology that has supported our expansion across the globe.
Today, the remarkable evolutionary challenge we face is literally a set of natural conditions requiring that we exercise compassion more effectively.

By today's standards, some aspects of my upbringing would be considered parental negligence.
Those were the best parts of my childhood.
I grew up less than a half-mile from the border between southern New Mexico and the Mexican state of Chihuahua. The border was calmer then, but our neighborhood wasn't quiet. Smugglers and undocumented immigrants streamed back and forth across the ragged barbed-wire fence that marked the boundary. From our yard we could watch hundreds of illegal crossings in a day. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials staked out the hilltops and patrolled the sky in their aircraft, but they couldn't hold back the tide. Crime rates were high, primarily because the wealth differential across the border made mundane U.S. possessions immensely valuable if they could be smuggled south.
Then we had the neighbors to consider. As kids, we were routinely told to avoid the trailer where "the pervert" lived. So we did. If I wanted to walk past the shack inhabited by another neighbor, an elderly, trigger-happy alcoholic known as "Old Man Pat," my grandfather would call Pat on the phone. I vividly remember one such conversation. "Pat, are you drunk?" Grandpa asked. He listened to Pat's response. "Well, OK. My grandson is going to walk past your house in a few minutes. Don't shoot at him."
Did I mention that the area was also infested with rattlesnakes?
That I was encouraged to wander the village and the surrounding sand hills with my friends is remarkable in retrospect. My mother would literally tell us to go outside and play "until the sun goes down." So we did. We dug forts in the sand. Our parents just said, "That's liable to cave in on you." We hunted for arrowheads. ("Watch for snakes!") We shot our BB guns. ("Don't put an eye out!")
I took a job helping with a neighbor's goats, taking them to graze in the desert. By the time I was 11, I had my own horse and I could wander much farther, up onto the mesas or down to the Rio Grande. Out there in that rugged landscape, among the sandblasted shacks and junked cars, I was enchanted. I fell in love with nature.
Every naturalist and conservationist throughout history has shared a single inspiration: a love of the natural world.
"In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous." — Aristotle (384 B.C. – 322 B.C.)
Can we learn to love nature from inside a house or a speeding car? Possibly, but it seems unlikely.
"Our children no longer learn how to read the Great Book of Nature from their own direct experience or how to interact creatively with the seasonal transformations of the planet. They seldom learn where their water comes from or where it goes. We no longer coordinate our human celebration with the great liturgy of the heavens." — Thomas Berry (1914 – 2009)
I would never have fallen in love with the natural world if it weren't for the seductive danger and excitement I felt when wandering alone in wild places.
"Reading about nature is fine, but if a person walks in the woods and listens carefully, he can learn more than what is in books, for they speak with the voice of God." — George Washington Carver (1864 – 1943)
My own children had much less of that kind of freedom out in nature. My wife and I were typical parents of the 1990s. We believed we needed to know precisely where our children were at all times. That sounds reasonable, doesn't it? But it meant my kids never had a chance to wander alone in the woods listening to the voice of God. They walked in the woods with us, but that's not quite the same thing.
"Keep close to Nature's heart, yourself; and break clear away, once in a while, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean. ... Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul." — John Muir (1838 – 1914)
In his groundbreaking 2006 book, Last Child in the Woods, Richard Louv suggests that our kids are suffering from something he calls "Nature-Deficit Disorder." He believes that firsthand experience of nature is a critical part of human education.
"Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better." — Albert Einstein (1879 – 1955)
Wise people throughout history have recognized that nature provides intellectual stimulation, aesthetic satisfaction and spiritual solace.
"Those who dwell, as scientists or laymen, among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary of life. Whatever the vexations or concerns of their personal lives, their thoughts can find paths that lead to inner contentment and to renewed excitement in living." — Rachel Carson (1907 – 1964)
"Come forth into the light of things, Let Nature be your teacher." — William Wordsworth (1770 – 1850)
"Believe me, you will find more lessons in the woods than in books. Trees and stones will teach you what you cannot learn from masters." — St. Bernard of Clairvaux (1090 – 1153)
If exposure to nature has been a formative experience for so many of our wisest teachers, how can we deprive our children of that instruction?
On the other hand, a child alone in nature is vulnerable.
I don't question the vulnerability of children. Part of the magic of the natural experience, for a child, stems from the fact that the experience — and the danger — is vital and real. It's instructive to note, however, that children often may be safer alone in the natural world than in their own homes. Medical conditions, car wrecks and shootings make up more than 60 percent of all child deaths, none of them the result of being alone in nature. About 90 percent of sexually abused children are victimized by someone they know at home.
We have cooped up our children to keep them safe, but safe from what? Wilderness is, arguably, safer than home for a great many children.
Clearly there's no simple answer. But if my exposure to sunshine and wind, creosote bushes and yuccas, rattlesnakes, and the danger and exhilaration of empty places had always been directly supervised by adults, then I would not have loved the experience as I did. Between the ages of 8 and 13, I was in the desert every day, not just on special occasions when the adults could come along.
"What is the good of your stars and trees, your sunrise and the wind, if they do not enter into our daily lives?" — E.M. Forster (1879 – 1970)
I think I'll join Richard Louv in calling for universal experiences in the natural world as a fundamental part of every child's education. Exposure to nature is at least as important as exposure to mathematics or literature. And I'll do my best to give my grandsons the gift my own parents and grandparents gave me: unfettered, solitary time in God's creation.

You are growing, and we are growing, too.
Last year — in fact, for the past 10 years — MOTHER EARTH NEWS has been the fastest-growing major magazine in the country. Thank you for supporting what we do. We're proud to serve you for many different reasons.
A company called Mediamark Research & Intelligence (MRI) measures magazine audiences for the advertising industry. They confirm that, among the 211 largest magazine audiences in the country, none has grown faster than the MOTHER EARTH NEWS audience — that's you — over the past 10 years. During that period, our total audience has quadrupled.
Overall, magazine audiences have been shrinking lately. But not at MOTHER EARTH NEWS. Over the past six years, total magazine newsstand revenues across the country were down 37 percent. During the same period, our newsstand sales almost doubled. And your peer groups reading Mother Earth Living and Grit — MOTHER EARTH NEWS' sister publications that are not yet among the 211 magazines MRI measures — have been growing even faster.
Why? Well, as much as we might like to give all the credit to good management, we actually think we're growing because we have good audiences. Very good audiences — "good" in every sense of the word.
MOTHER EARTH NEWS and its siblings here at Ogden Publications are about doing good. When we try to describe our magazines, we often say they are about "conscientious lifestyles." That's another way of saying they are magazines for conscientious people.
More and more these days, we let you tell us what to put in our magazines. We send 10 to 50 email surveys to various groups of readers every week. (Join the MOTHER EARTH NEWS advisory group.) Based on the results of these surveys, we know that you love photos of heirloom tomatoes; you love gardens; you love barns and farmhouses; you are suspicious of the industrial food system; you enjoy growing your own food and making your own furniture; you believe natural remedies can heal most health problems (and you generally prefer those remedies); you are concerned about the future of our planet and our habitat; and you want very, very much to preserve a beautiful and abundant place where our grandchildren and our great-grandchildren can live.
Based on these common interests, we might all sound as though we're cut from the same cloth. But MRI also considers your unique personality as an audience. Starting in 2013, they began asking members of magazine audiences how they would describe themselves, politically. It turns out that about 10 percent of you think of yourselves as politically "very liberal." And about 21 percent of you think of yourselves as politically "very conservative."
You feel more strongly about your beliefs on both ends of the political spectrum than average Americans do. Out of a random group of Americans, only 5 percent would call themselves "very liberal" and 12 percent would call themselves "very conservative." That means MOTHER EARTH NEWS readers are about twice as likely as the average American to describe themselves as "very liberal" or "very conservative."
Any engagement with the media these days would have you believe that average Americans are incredibly polarized — so that must mean you, as an audience, are in polarization overload, with little to bind you together. But that's just not so.
As editors, we generally don't think about whether a reader is liberal or conservative. We're looking for readers who are very conscientious — people interested in sustainability and self-reliance. And it turns out that people who are very conscientious tend to describe themselves as "very liberal" or "very conservative."
But your political differences apparently don't extend to your feelings for gardens, tomatoes, farmhouses, pure food, a healthy human habitat or great-grandchildren.
Evidently, we all agree those are things that need to be preserved and nurtured. About the most important things, it seems you — and we — are aligned.
Not only were you the fastest-growing audience in the MRI study over the past decade, but you also spent more time reading each issue of MOTHER EARTH NEWS than any other magazine's audience spent reading that publication's pages — even when compared with magazines that are twice as thick or twice as wordy.
In addition, you made MOTHER EARTH NEWS the magazine most likely to be a reader's favorite out of all the large magazines in the country.
All of this is tremendously exciting for us, of course, and it's encouraging in bigger ways, too. The diversity of MOTHER EARTH NEWS' audience reflects a new direction for society.

When people consider the change that Tesla Motors' electric cars have brought to the automotive industry, they sometimes compare founder Elon Musk to Henry Ford. But that comparison doesn't seem adequate. Musk is building a network of solar-powered charging stations to be available coast to coast by 2017 while he simultaneously runs one of the country's largest solar contractors and the most important space-travel company on the planet. It's as though he's the amalgam of Henry Ford, John D. Rockefeller and Albert Einstein.
What he is, undeniably, is a visionary. His ambitions go far beyond merely creating the product itself. For example, his stated goal is not to build great cars at Tesla. His goal is to build the best cars ever made, powered by the most efficient energy source, and supplied by a network of charging stations, mechanics and stores across the continent.
SolarCity was devised to convert as many households as possible to solar electricity. At his space-exploration company, his goal is to colonize Mars. In August, he unveiled his latest enterprise: the Hyperloop, a high-speed, solar-powered electric train that would travel in a vacuum tube and carry passengers from Los Angeles to San Francisco in 30 minutes.
Musk hasn't accomplished any of his achievements alone, of course. Tens of thousands of people work for his companies. His colleagues helped design the beautiful cars and spaceships. Accountants keep the books and arrange the financing. Writers build marketing packages. Artists create the logos and imagery. Each new accomplishment represents a festival of human ingenuity.
When I first drove the Tesla Model S, Denton Holt, from Tesla Motors' Colorado store, took me on my test drive. His business card says he's one of Tesla's "Senior Ownership Advisors." He says that when he got out of college, he never thought he'd be selling cars. Now he expects to be selling cars for a long time.
"I want to be with Tesla until we realize our full potential," he says. He expects Tesla to be one of the planet's leading car manufacturers in a future where most cars are propelled by solar-generated electricity. Like his boss, Holt exudes a high level of confidence.
Vision can be intoxicating, especially when it's backed up by achievement.
In the book I wrote three years ago, I visualized a world in which I could commute in an electric car charged with solar power generated on my own farm. I thought I was being pretty ambitious. Today that vision is a reality, and I obviously have to dream bigger.
MOTHER EARTH NEWS has always been primarily focused on creating a better future. Over the past decade, it has been the fastest-growing large magazine in North America. That's because all of us — not just visionaries like Elon Musk — are increasingly more interested in creating a better future. We are all visionaries, to one degree or another, all picturing a better world.
When it comes to addressing environmental problems and assuring the future of humanity, you are not indifferent. You want improvement.
We are witnessing it every day.

I want to tell you a true story with a happy ending, one that's happening right now. Its heroes are engineers, artists, bankers, farmers — and you.
With our eyes figuratively swollen shut because of the steady beating we take from much of the news media, we sometimes can be numb to the amazing technological advances taking place in our time.
I recently found that one sees these advances more clearly through the windshield of a Tesla Model S electric automobile.
I test-drove the Model S on a country road in the Colorado mountains. The experience blew my mind. I'll never think of cars in the same way again.
I love cars. I always have, though I do realize they're a primary source of air pollution, and their thirst for fossil fuels has aggravated other environmental problems, caused political strife and created economic injustice. Automobiles are also astonishing examples of human ingenuity and vision. A good car can be like a beautiful sculpture, a superb piece of furniture, a fine tool, a supercomputer, a thrill ride and a rocket ship, all rolled into one sweet creation.
Then there's the Tesla. It is all of those things, plus its propulsion does not rely on fossil fuels or involve political strife.
Its existence, on the other hand, does rely on idealism and vision — just the qualities that can make human life sustainable and human achievements heroic.
Elon Musk is the CEO of Tesla Motors and the principal designer of its cars. He's an entrepreneur and a technology billionaire with several business successes behind him, including Web software company Zip2, which he sold for $307 million in 1999, and PayPal, which he sold for $1.5 billion in 2002.
After those accomplishments, he had some pretty comfortable laurels he could have rested on. But he didn't. Instead, as soon as he sold PayPal, Musk set about replacing the space shuttle.
That's right, the space shuttle. Musk's third company, Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX), designs and builds spacecraft. He thinks space exploration is, in the long term, critical to preserving humanity. So when our government began scaling back its space program, Musk scaled up his private alternative. In 2009, one of his rockets put a satellite into orbit. In 2012, one of his shuttles delivered supplies to the International Space Station. At the end of 2012, SpaceX had about $4 billion in launch contracts for both private and government payloads.
Musk is not just a rich guy playing with rocket ships. He's a businessman in the business of building rocket ships for profit — and the business is doing well. Musk recently said he wouldn't take SpaceX to the stock market until his "Mars Colonial Transporter is flying regularly." In other words, he'll continue supporting the company with his money until he's realized his long-term vision: a colony on Mars.
In his spare time, Musk conceived of and helped create SolarCity in 2006, the nation's largest full-service solar power provider. He is chairman of the company, which provides a sort of one-stop solar-power shop, including designing, financing and installing solar-energy systems, then also monitoring the systems' performance.
Somewhere along the line, in about 2002, Elon Musk decided he could build a better automobile. Then he did it.
The fundamental reason the Tesla is that "better car" is simply that it's 100 percent electric. Electric is better because an electric motor converts stored energy (in the batteries) into kinetic energy (at the wheels) about four times more efficiently than a gasoline engine.
All gasoline is refined from crude oil pumped from the ground and then shipped — often from overseas — to the refineries, pipelines and trucks that distribute it to your gas station. But electricity can be produced in a variety of ways, and many of them are as renewable as sunshine. More people every year are using electricity provided locally through hydropower, geothermal, solar and wind-based generators. Most of the electricity that powers my own electric car — a Chevy Volt — is produced by a rack of photovoltaic solar collectors on top of my barn. You can't get much more local — or efficient — than that.
In the driver's seat, it's easy to forget that the Tesla Model S is significantly more efficient and Earth-friendly than a gasoline-powered economy car. It provides one of the world's most extraordinary driving experiences. The big sedan goes from zero to 60 mph in a little more than four seconds. And because the electric motor delivers the same torque at any speed, the Tesla Model S can accelerate from 60 to 120 mph almost as fast. It's quicker than most Ferraris, Porsches and Lamborghinis. There is no transmission, no shifting — just seamless power instantaneously, whenever you need it.
The car weighs nearly 5,000 pounds — about the same as a Ford F-150 pickup — but 1,000 pounds of that is its 7,000-cell lithium-ion battery, located in a flat tray underneath the cabin. This gives the car quite a low center of gravity. Combine that with its computerized traction and stability controls, and you have a fast car that handles superbly — comparable to the six-figure sports cars.
The Tesla Model S isn't cheap. The basic model starts at about $64,000, which figures in a $7,500 federal tax credit. Various states and municipalities offer other incentives for electric vehicles, such as free parking and state tax credits.
But truly innovative technologies are often expensive at first. When the personal computer first hit the mainstream market in the mid-1980s, the IBM Personal Computer XT cost $4,995. Given the way prices for personal computers have declined over the decades, a safe bet is that the price of the Tesla Model S will diminish, too. In May 2013, Musk told Bloomberg TV news that he will have a "compelling, affordable car," priced below $40,000, ready for market in three to four years.
What do the car nuts think of it? It is Motor Trend magazine's 2013 Car of the Year, Automobile Magazine's 2013 Automobile of the Year, and Consumer Reports calls it "the best car ever tested." The Model S received the highest score the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has ever given, which makes it the safest car ever manufactured.
Based on the evidence, it's also most likely the best car ever made.
The U.S. government helped Tesla (and SpaceX and SolarCity) get started, but Tesla paid off its $465 million federal loan nine years early, in May 2013, and made its first profit that month. Now the company is selling its revolutionary powertrain to Mercedes and Toyota. And the future for ultra-efficient, ultra-safe cars is truly beginning.

After 50 years of reading Bible passages and listening to others read and discuss the book, the story of Jesus of Nazareth has suddenly become stunningly, blindingly relevant to me. Here was a spiritual savior whose principal lesson was the voluntary sacrifice of his own life for the good of others. He said, explicitly, that the only path to God was through his example. "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."[i]
And His example is the voluntary sacrifice of his own life for a greater good.
Jesus even acknowledged our direct, intimate connection to future generations and the web of life, a connection that is consummated in death. At the Last Supper on the night before His execution, He served bread and wine to the disciples who would carry his message forward. Breaking the bread he said "This is my body given for you; do this is in remembrance of me." Even more pointedly he said, serving the wine, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you."[ii]
And so God invites us to share in this New Covenant, to give our own flesh and blood for the good of future generations. It seemed, as I read those words, that Jesus was speaking directly to a human dilemma now at the forefront of our consciousness 20 centuries after his death. We have proven that our technology can push cultures aside and extinguish life forms if they don't support our expansion and prosperity. We can alter God's creation until it seems to be almost purely a reflection of human dominance and the human ego.
And we may be on the verge of living much, much longer than previous generations, compounding human population growth.
But still the words of a wise prophet echo across the millennia, telling us the salvation from our sins is achievable only through mortality – voluntary mortality.
I have come to believe that continued expansion – both in our numbers and in our life spans – dooms future generations of human beings to increased misery and a steadily diminishing quality of life. The splendor of God's creation will be progressively corrupted as we pack the planet more and more tightly with our cities and machinery. Birth rates diminish, but then life spans increase. Every form of habitat destruction is justified by the need to feed, house and clothe more people.
Since Adam and Eve were cast out of the Garden of Eden, it seems we've been working full time on our species' expansion. From a biological perspective, it is the most natural of all goals. From the perspective of virtue, it personifies the very nature of human sin.
The New Covenant, which expiates our sin, seems to me now to be shockingly simple. Our New Covenant is sanctified in the voluntary, individual sacrifice of our lives for a greater good.
Please don't mistake me. I will never advocate the imposition of mortality by any human being on any other. I believe killing another human being – in war or for any other purpose – is wrong. And Jesus' example is, quite explicitly, an example of voluntary mortality.
For that matter, I don't support laws or rules that impose birth control. From my perspective, we are doomed unless we can accept these necessary sacrifices on an individual basis with free will.
If we impose limits on life span or fertility through any of our authority structures, we will only feed ongoing conflict and human strife. Neither governments, nor religions nor communities can dictate mortality or fertility to individuals without inspiring resistance and backlash. Imposed limits might hold back the tide of destruction for a little while, but they won't provide any sustainable benefit.
Our salvation is contingent on voluntary sacrifice.
Only through selfless, voluntary, individual sacrifice can we expiate our essential human flaw and restore the Garden. We have to accept mortality as the necessary and – if voluntary – heroic alternative. We must divert the resources we are using to mindlessly expand human life and work and invest them, instead, in the improvement of all life both human and non-human.
To do that, of course, we have to change our minds.

Abundance is necessary to creativity. In business, we measure abundance in financial capital. Without sufficient capital, we can't be creative, because we can't try anything that isn't certain to work. Similarly, we need surplus capital — food, open space, clean air and water — if we are to help all people live rich, creative lives.
Two variables affect abundance in our world. The first is supply. We depend on the planet's natural resources, and those resources are limited. The second variable is demand. Demand we can control.
Two primary variables also influence demand for resources. The efficiency of our usage determines how much of the world's natural bounty each of us requires. We can improve efficiency, to some extent. The second variable affecting demand is population. No matter how much we improve efficiency, the number of people our planet can support is ultimately finite.
Once I acknowledge that limitation, I find myself thinking, well, why are we always talking about the inevitable growth of human population? Why not envision an ideal population instead?
Because in my vision I've already set aside 20 percent of every earthly biome for wilderness, I might set my own ideal human population at 20 percent fewer than our current population of about 7.1 billion people. That would put us at about 5.7 billion people, the world population in the early 1990s.
What the heck? While we're idealizing, why don't we allocate a little more room for nature and take us back 30 percent, to a total human population of 5 billion — as it was in 1988. That's a shocker, isn't it? Our population was 30 percent smaller when former President George H.W. Bush was elected.
When I suggest something like this in a talk, some wiseguy always asks who I'm going to kill. When I write about it, I get letters from people who ask which of their children they should eliminate. The answer, of course, is none. But if most of us choose to reproduce ourselves only once — if each couple has two children — the total human population will soon begin to decrease. We can simply agree, as a species, that 1) two parents and two children make a great family; 2) untrammeled nature is vital to our quality of life; 3) everyone's life will be better if we eliminate the ugliness of slums and extreme poverty.
Just think: We could have wild elephants and mountain gorillas in a world of 5 billion people. We could have oceans teeming with fish, and vast grasslands where bison and wildebeest roam free, forever. We could provide clean water for every infant, food for every new mother and a warm, comfortable bed for every elderly person — always.
Why not?
If we commit ourselves to this understanding of abundance, we can halt the irreversible tide of species destruction. We can celebrate the diversity of life on this planet and set a standard of preserving it, by the mutual consent of people around the world. All of our food can be naturally wholesome and nutritious, except when we'd rather have it otherwise. We can live on farms or in cities, as we wish. We can live at the edge of the mountain wilderness or the edge of the ocean. Some of us might choose to live simply and work very little, but we can set some minimum expectations for everyone. Most of us will work hard to achieve something — new discoveries, inventions, works of art or greater personal wealth.
In a stable human population, corporate success will be determined by criteria other than the greatest number of products at the lowest price. The value of scale will be reduced; the value of quality will be enhanced. Companies and products that support our shared values of beauty, abundance and the preservation of nature will earn more. Quality will be defined, in part, by how well a company or product supports those values. Innovative, conscientious companies will succeed. Less innovative companies will try harder. Our possessions will be beautiful and durable.
As our population stabilizes, territorial conflicts will become absurd. With more land, more energy and more food available each year, military conflict will seem more wasteful and stupid than ever. We can decommission most of our armies. Rather than competing via faster jets and more powerful bombs, we'll race to see who can preserve more natural beauty and attract more tourists. Who can print the most beautiful books? Who can build the most reliable and elegant machines? Who has the best skiing? Who has the best beach?
Is it unrealistic to believe we can agree that clean air and water are essential, limited resources that must be conserved? What's so crazy about wanting a couple of kids and no more? Why not imagine — and build — a world of beauty and abundance?
That's what I'm aiming for.

Depression and other mental disorders are Europe's largest health challenge, study concludes
Paris – Mental disorders have become Europe's largest health challenge in the 21st century, according to a study presented today on the 24th Congress of the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ECNP) in Paris (September 2-7, 2011). The study on the state of Europe's mental and neurological health also highlights that the majority of mental disorders remain untreated. Taken together with the large and increasing number of 'disorders of the brain', the true size and burden is significantly higher. The three-year multi-method study by Porfessor Hans-Ulrich Wittchen (CELOS, Dresden) and co-workers covers 30 countries (the European Union plus Switzerland, Iceland and Norway) and a population of 514 million people. All major mental disorders for children and adolescents (2-17), adults (18-65), and the elderly (65+ years) are included, as well as several neurological disorders. According to the systematic investigation, 164.8 million EU citizens (38.2%) suffer from a mental disorder, with conditions prevalent in all age groups investigated. The most frequent disorders are anxiety disorders (14.0%), insomnia (7.0%), major depression (6.9%), somatoform disorders (6.3%), alcohol and drug dependence (>4%), attention-deficit and hyperactivity disorders (ADHD, 5% in the young), and dementia (1% among those aged 60-65, 30% among those aged 85 and above). The ECNP warns that no improvements were found in the notoriously low treatment rates for mental disorders in comparison with data of a study carried out in 2005 data. Taken together with the many millions patients in the EU who suffer from neurologic disorders such as stroke, traumatic brain injuries, Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis, , disorders of the brain, as measured by disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), are the largest contributor to the EU's total morbidity burden, accounting for 26.6% of the total disease burden, covering the full spectrum of all diseases, with depression, dementias, alcohol use and stroke at the top. The study concludes that concerted priority action is needed at all levels, including substantially increased funding for basic and clinical as well as public health research.

Following an unwanted detection the Sophos AutoUpdate component is no longer functioning. This is due to the files needed by Sophos AutoUpdate being deleted or moved as part of the clean-up action related to the false positive.
Note: For this to occur your anti-virus configuration was set to an option other than 'Deny access only'.
First seen in Sophos Anti-Virus for Windows 2000+
An unwanted detection has deleted or moved files from their original location, preventing Sophos AutoUpdate from being able to run correctly and hampering remediation efforts.
We are making available an executable and script that can be used to repair endpoints where files were deleted or moved due to the false positive.
The executable or script can perform the following remediation steps:
Note: The page: http://www.sophos.com/en-us/support/field-search.aspx has also been provided to help associate detected files with application provider and application.
cscript //nologo sophos_temp\FixUpdate.vbs /fixIssues:true /useSophosCid:true > "Sophos Fix Script Log.txt"
FixIssues.exe silent
For use when you need to use a custom set of command line options.
cscript FixUpdate.vbs /fixIssues:true
In addition to the recommended /fixissues:true option, the following options can be specified as required:
cscript FixUpdate.vbs /fixIssues:true /usesophoscid:true
Will ensure the client has the detection identity file that will stop the unwanted detection, clear the Quarantine Manager and fix the Sophos install using Sophos as the update location.
cscript FixUpdate.vbs /fixIssues:true /cid:\\server\sophosupdate\cids\s000\savscfxp
Will ensure the client has the detection identity file that will stop the unwanted detection, clear the Quarantine Manager, fix the Sophos install using the update location '\\server\sophosupdate\cids\s141\savscfxp' to replace missing Sophos files. All logs will be created in the same directory as the script file.
cscript FixUpdate.vbs /fixIssues:true /cid:http://server/sophosupdate/cids/s000/savscfxp /username:myUser /password:myPassword Will ensure the client has the missing identity file, clear the Quarantine Manager, fix the Sophos install using the update location 'http://server/sophosupdate/cids/s000/savscfxp' (using credentials to authenticate) to replace missing Sophos files. All logs will be created in the same directory as the script file. If the script is unable to obtain the location of the CID automatically it can be specified as an argument to the script using the /cid: option. The /cid: value can be either a UNC or HTTP address.
cscript FixUpdate.vbs /fixIssues:true /cid:http://server/sophosupdate/cids/s000/savscfxp /username:myUser /password:myPassword
cscript FixUpdate.vbs /clearQuarantine:true Will clear the Quarantine Manager on an endpoint.

Technical Information
The script checks for the presence of the agen-xuv.ide and javab-jd.ide. To stop false positive detection for 'Shh/Updater-B': if javab-jd.ide is not present, it drops it in the Sophos Anti-Virus directory and restarts the Sophos Anti-Virus service at the end. It also clears the local Quarantine Manager alerts.
The script parses the Sophos Anti-Virus logs to identify files deleted or moved due to false positives. It restores files moved back to the original location, but not the deleted files. Each steps creates log files that can be used for diagnostics.
It checks if the Sophos AutoUpdate install is healthy and if not it repairs it, even if files were deleted.
At the end it triggers an update.
Alerts on the Console side will still need to be 'Acknowledged'.
This is generic failure with many possible causes.
%windir%\System32\cscript.exe FixUpdate.vbs /fixIssues:true
Ensure you are running version 5.6 or later of the Windows Scripting Host. For Windows 2000, see article: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=20240.
The necessary files aren't in the CID, most likely because they were deleted or moved as part of the false positive. Resolve the false positive issue on the Sophos Update Manager server and ensure the CID is complete, then run the script.
Multiple Windows Installer processes are blocking the script from running.
Check the 'Processes' tab of the Task Manager for multiple copies of msiexec.exe (one process being present is normal). If no further processes are shown: Rerun the script again.
If msiexec processes keep appearing:
Note: If further msiexec processes are created check in the both the 'Applications' and 'Processes' tabs of the Task Manager for a program(s) that may be attempting to repair itself, perform an update or installation. You may want to close all non-essential programs that are running including any programs that load automatically when Windows starts up and appear as small icons in the System Tray (next to the Windows clock on the Taskbar and may be hidden).

I purchased 5 of these box frames to display some artwork at my work. I was fairly disappointed by these. The pictures are held in only with lightweight card stock. Two of the 5 frames already were bent or rumpled from the back, making it hard to hang flush against the wall. Clearly, these will not hold up well. They are currently hung on the wall, and they look fine from the front. The two that were a bit crushed hang out a bit from the wall and are very noticeable to me. I wish I had known that they were cardboard in back instead of plastic.

Sometimes it seems like the Brady Hoke era is more reminiscent of the Moeller era than the Carr era. Not an attack on Lloyd, and I was too young to remember much of Moeller's tenure. However, little things here and there make me feel that we are returning to the early 90s rather than the the mid 00s (which I'm certainly fine with). Maybe it has more to do with Mattison than anything else.
this may be of some local interest

SpongeBob sunblock is lightening our toxic load
Welcome to Part Two of Summer 2011 Pool Paranoia!
Is it a little late in the season to be obsessing about the effects of chlorine and multi-syllabic sunscreen chemicals? Yes and no. A good chunk of the fun in the sun is already behind us, but we still have roughly six more weeks to perfect our goo-slathered drowned-rat routines.
(Plus: We're about to take our first-ever va-cay on the Jersey Shore, and I am COUNTING. THE. SECONDS.)
Recently, as I was plastering the Wee Lass's mug with her daily pre-camp dose of Hawaiian Tropic Baby Faces & Tender Places (her bionic nose goes bonkers over the lovely scent), several thoughts ran through my feeble brain:
1. "We're running low on this precious Baby Faces stuff, not to mention that Panama Jack I bought in Jamaica that Hubby loves."
2. "It's August, can't we just get through the next month with the drips and drabs of goo we already have?"
3. "No we can't. But I forgot to get all freaked-out about sunscreen ingredients. What's in this s–t? Should I nab some physical sunblocks instead of these chemical concoctions? I really need to be more freaked-out about chemicals."
4. "Blech. I hate physical sunblocks. They sit on your skin like a wet white sheet."
Besides the fact that I actually do speak to myself like this, here's where it gets truly scary: Someone must have planted a chip in my head, because within 48 hours of conducting this internal rant, a big box of physical sunblocks arrived.
So last weekend at the town pool, Team Momover Lady played water-logged guinea pigs. We slathered. We un-slathered. (A few point-blank refused to disappear into the skin and could be spotted at 50 paces. None of us are down with that.)
And by the end of the day, we had some new, natural-ish, un-hyper-chemicalized friends to tag along in our beach bag.
This is what passed our cool-for-the-pool test:
From Sunbow: SpongeBob SquarePants Sunscreen Stick SPF 45 (goes on yellow, dries clear); Dora The Explorer Sunscreen SPF 30 in a tube (goes on pink, dries clear); and Go Diego Go! Sunscreen SPF 30 liquid spray-on (goes on blue, dries clear)
From Kiss My Face: Face Factor Face+Neck SPF 30; Sun Spray Oil SPF 30; Sport Clear Spray SPF 50
Based on its core premise that our skin absorbs 60 percent of what we douse ourselves with, the Kiss My Face products contain "no nanoparticles." That was the first time I'd seen that phrase on a sunblock, so I guess nanoparticles are the latest thing to get our knickers in a twist about.
I can't tell you how many beauty editor presentations I've sat through that positioned nanoparticles as the second coming – all that great anti-aging technology, seeping right down to your cells! – but now it's looking like they're the utter personification of evil.
Aargh…I just want to go to my happy place. Like when I blog about the utter Zen fabulous-ness of the Kiss My Face patchouli bath brews. My my. Those are all that. But so is this nanoparticle-free sun protection.

Late fall, Steve Jobs sadly moved on from this world. He's gone and missed. Yet, a photo of Jobs in the back of a truck is now making the internet rounds in China. Could this be the information age's equivalent of Elvis sightings?
The photo was apparently taken on September 26 in the city of Xi'an. A figure that looks like Jobs, complete with his iconic pose and black sweater, is visible in the back of a flatbed.
Online in China, the photo has caused a flurry of responses. "Jobs has resurrected," wrote one net user. "Please do something about the iOS maps," wrote another.
There are not many details about the actual photo, and it could be clever Photoshop (like this), another wax figure, or maybe, just maybe, Steve Jobs has returned to, you know, fix iOS6 maps. They're so awful!
Update: As VR-Zone (via reader Orionsangel) points out, the Jobs riding the truck looks like another wax statue (not the Madame Tussauds one) spotted in China. Maybe it can fix the iOS maps... Sure couldn't make 'em worse.

The 2011-2012 school year was especially significant for Sumter Central High School.
This is the first graduating class from the school formed through the consolidation of Livingston High and Sumter County High.
The 2012 Senior Honors Day Program was a way to look back and reflect on everything the students were able to accomplish.
Principal Eric Hines described this first year at the new school.
"Mesmerizing. There were a lot of lofty expectations that were set for us. We far exceeded them," said Hines. "There were a lot of naysayers, but we've exceeded those also. We're just thankful that we've been able to do what we've been able to do by bringing two rival schools together. It has been great."
One of those expectations Hines himself set for the senior class, to be offered $1 million dollars in total scholarship money. The senior class exceeded that, being offered over $2 million in scholarships.
Superintendent Katie Jones-Powell attributes the seniors' success, and the success of the high school as a whole, to the administration's work to make sure the two united schools felt like one.
"We've worked really hard to make sure the students have a sense of pride in the school and that they are successful in whatever they endeavor to do in life," said Jones-Powell. "I think the student body can honestly say they've had a wonderful, wonderful year of learning, of blending, and getting to know each other."
The thoughts of the superintendent were echoed by the seniors.
"The work was maybe slightly more difficult, but as far as combining with the new students, I actually love my new classmates," said valedictorian Sylvia Turner. "I've made a lot of new friends."
The first commencement ceremony for Sumter Central will be on May 25.

Cupcake is another word for happiness. These cupcakes look like Uniqua and require only basic cake decorating supplies and some candies for her antennae.
Catch the Backyardigans on Nick Jr.
Tint one can of the vanilla frosting green. Spoon 1 cup of the green frosting into a pastry bag fitted with a small star tip; set it aside. Spoon 1/4 cup of the vanilla frosting into a resealable bag; set it aside. Tint 1/4 cup of the vanilla frosting a dark pink with the food colors and spoon into a resealable bag. Tint the remaining vanilla frosting a lighter pink.
Trim 1/4 inch on opposite sides of the vanilla wafers to make an oval shape using a serrated knife. Place the cookies on a wire rack placed over a wax-paper-lined sheet pan. Heat the lighter pink frosting in a microwave-proof measuring cup for 5 seconds, or until it's the texture of slightly whipped cream. (Do not overheat!) Pour the frosting over the cookies to cover them completely. Reheat the excess if necessary. Let the cookies dry for about 30 minutes.
Cut the wax paper into a 3 inch square. Cut out a 3/4-inch-circle in the center. Place the opening over a dried cookie and spray lightly with the food spray. Continue over the cookie to create Uniqua's pattern. Continue with the remaining cookies.
Meanwhile frost the tops of the cupcakes with the green frosting. Transfer the cookies to the center of each cupcake. Pipe several patches of "grass" with the frosting in the pastry bag with the star tip.
Pipe dots of vanilla frosting for the eyes and attach the mini chocolate chips, flat-side up. Add a small dot of frosting onto the chocolate chips. Mold the fruit chew into a 1 1/2 inch rope. Curl one end and place at the top of the cupcake as Uniqua's antenna. Snip a small corner from the bag with the darker pink frosting and pipe the mouth and eyebrows. Continue with the remaining cupcakes and ingredients.

Liverpool Message Board
Frustration is growing..
For me, while I was very pleased with just about everything in our tour of Asia, especially the 4 clean sheets, and some wonderful individual performances, I'm growing frustrated waiting for these 2-3 other names/players we're supposedly adding. We need another left back desperately, and it's the point of nausea with both Eriksen (and his camp) & Alderweireld almost want to pay their way to Liverpool. As for Alderweireld, some would say he's not as proven as Skrtel, but at 24, I think he's keen to prove it at a top level, and I just can't see Skrtel sitting the bench at 28, for all his skill and talent when in form. Kolo seems ahead, and while I'd hate it, it may be best for him to move on if we're really interested in Alderweireld or Papa..
I've got to say, there must be a serious literacy and mathematical understanding problem over in North London, as I continue to read #$%$_nal preparing a 3rd bid of 42.5.. What is it about 51M they don't understand? Wenger has always been cheap and stubborn, but he's already caused unrest, anger and unsettled things, so he's just being ridiculous. Pay up, or Suarez stays until Madrid come calling. End of.
I want to see us add whatever name it is that Rodgers hinted at "top end of the pitch", meaning attack wise, because so far Aspas has looked terrific, and if Suarez stays we still miss 6 games, and Sturridge is recovering and has always been made of paper mache'. Much like last summer here in the states where I was able to see live every day, Enrique has been diabolical, so whether it be Aly Cissokho, or now Malerenga from Benfica, we need left back depth and competition.
Maybe I feel spoiled by the 4 additions and youth brought in right away, but I want all the ins and outs done asap because City, Chelsea, #$%$nal and Spurs, are all just about ready to go with what they've got, all maybe just looking to add 1 more for luxury, while we do need a bit more, while the Suarez saga drags.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

Not sure if this is worthy of a new thread, but this seems to be the current transfer rumor thread so posting this here. With the news of young Robinson going on a season long loan to Blackpool coming today, does this raise the chances we'll see a new LB being signed very soon? I think Melgarejo from Benfica was being talked about for a loan deal, so wondering if he's still in the frame, or if other possibilities are out there. If we do bring someone in on loan, maybe its a matter to decide next summer if Robinson is ready in which case he gets the nod, if not we buy the player loaned to us, or if we are top 4, we then spend money on really upgrading in that position.

Just one question, Jason?
For argument sake, lets say you went to your local Walmart and saw a pair of shoes you really like costing $164.95 , Ignoring the fact that you've set your heart on it, why would you pay more than the price tag? The point I'm getting at is we should wait for further clarification on what's written on Suarez's contract clause before criticising AFC. Obviously, the player's agent (Pere Guardiola) and AFC believe that a pound over 40M triggers something in Suarez's contract, lets wait for more clarification before jumping to conclusion.
"#$%$_nal preparing a 3rd bid of 42.5."?
It's #$%$ This is the same media who wrongly said that Arsenal's second bid was made up of 35m plus 7M add-on. As it turned out, the second bid is a pound over 40M.

An UPDATE to back up the point I made earlier about wrong reporting by the press.
The Daily Mirror claimed yesterday through one of their reporters (Steve Stammer) that "Arsenal to bid £42.5m for Liverpool's Luis Suarez - and hope transfer is done by Saturday".
The evening John Cross of The Daily Mirror is reporting that "Arsenal's Luis Suarez transfer bid to remain at £40million as debate over contract clause continues".
Which sort of contradicted their earlier report on the Suarez's saga.
What this shows is people should take what's being reported with a generous pinch of salt until we hear from the clubs.

I think we maybe looking at a bit of a log jam with the movement of some key players needing to happen before other deals can happen. For us till we sort out the Suarez situation one way or another we really don't know how much we have to spend and therefore who we should be going for. Yes its clear for example we need to go for a LB but with a few extra quid in the pocket maybe who we go for changes from who we'd target if Suarez stays.
But the same might be true for other clubs, and there is of course is a knock on effect. Bale seems to the biggest story at the moment, and if he does go to Madrid it will obviously have a major ripple effect on the transfer market. Many of those who were thought to be targets for Madrid may become available (can't assume even they have that much to spend!) and of course Spurs I'm sure will want to find replacements with their new found wealth. If he does not go, then other players for Madrid may enter the frame (Suarez for example) while those targets Spurs has been chasing may get wrapped up early (Soldado) as they know they cannot squeeze extra Bale money out of the deal (or they could look to other clubs like ourselves who suddenly become cash rich).
So I agree its frustrating but it maybe a situation where everyone is waiting for everyone else to blink. Personally I'd hope we get our back line sorted. Even if we end up with money still in the bank come 1 September we need to start the season with a solid and well organized back line, and we can always use the money to re-enforce come January. But I might be willing to risk not going for a man up top till I know what is going to happen with Suarez. Yes there is the risk we enter the season if Suarez does leave without a recognized striker again, however the difference in quality of player we can get on our current budget for a back up striker, compared with what we could afford with money from a Suarez sale for a number 1 striker is significant.

When I mention the addition for the top of end of the pitch like Rodgers had said, I'm not really so much focused on striker per say, because if you look at all the names we've been linked with, or pursued, they've been more the attacking support players, or wide players. Case in point, Rodgers desire and disappointment with not getting a chance to sign Mkhitarayan.. So far I think he's got a few goals and assists..
So, in the meantime, everyone worth noting, including the Ajax coach and Chairman have mentioned Christian Eriksen coming to LFC with their blessing, and we all have seen him for about 3-4 years now.. Maybe BR knows something we don't, but I'd love to know what it is.. And again, patience in this regard, the transfer market, is not a virtue of mine, though if we were to get Eriksen, he'd fit right in, even at the 25th hour..
The Suarez thing doesn't really complicate things too much because there is no like for like player, nor anyone worth spending that much on, but rather 2-3 players, and they've said they do have contingency plans. Whether Soldado, as reported in Spain, really is one, who knows, but he's just about off to Spuds it seems, so I'm just really curious who they might be, and we actually do have the funds now, so it might not hurt so bad anyways, considering Suarez missing 6, Sturridge ankle, and what may happen in January window, when Suarez gets a 20 game ban in his first game back..

Hank Ballard
The Twister
Hank Ballard, the singer and songwriter whose hit "The Twist" ushered in a nationwide dance craze in the 1960s, died March 4, 2003 at his home in Los Angeles.
He had been suffering from throat cancer, friends said. Ballard's birth date has been given as Nov. 18, 1936, in publicity materials over the years, but friend and caretaker Anna Ayala said his birth records indicate he was born in 1927. "He was just a very good man and loved by so many people," Ayala said.
Ballard was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990. He wrote and recorded "The Twist" in 1958, but it was only released on the "B" side of a record. A year later, Chubby Checker debuted his own version of "The Twist" on Dick Clark's Philadelphia television show. It soon topped the charts and launched a dance craze that prompted the creation of other Twist songs, including "Twist and Shout" by the Isley Brothers and "Twistin' the Night Away" by Sam Cooke.
In a 1996 interview Ballard described music as his medicine. "If you're looking for youth, you're looking for longevity, just take a dose of rock 'n' roll," Ballard said. "It keeps you going. Just like the caffeine in your coffee. Rock 'n' roll is good for the soul, for the well-being, for the psyche, for your everything. I love it. I can't even picture being without rock 'n' roll."
Ballard, who was born John H. Kendricks in Detroit, grew up singing in church in Bessemer, Alabama. At 15 he moved back to Detroit and set out to form a doo-wop group while working on the Ford Motor Co. assembly line.
He was discovered in the early 1950's by writer-producer Johnny Otis. Ballard was lead singer for the Royals, which changed its name to the Midnighters. His songs were sometimes banned from 1950's radio for their sexually suggestive lyrics. But by the early 1960's he had charted 22 singles on the rhythm-and-blues charts, including "Work with Me Annie" -- the biggest R&B hit of 1954, selling more than 1 million copies.
Ballard and the Midnighters didn't suffer from Checker's version of "The Twist." In 1960 the group had three simultaneous hits in the pop top 40: "Finger Poppin' Time," "Let's Go, Let's Go, Let's Go" and their original version of "The Twist."
He was an all-around entertainer. He was dynamite onstage," said friend and business associate
Chuck Rubin.

Roger in semis
Roger won his quarter final against Milos Roanic 6-7(4), 6-4, 7-6(3) today to book his spot in the semi-finals in Halle.
"It was a great match on a high level and I am glad that it worked out so well" said Roger.
Roanic's strong serves - 220 km/h - were a tough weapon for Roger to battle against. But Roger did so very well, not facing a single break-ball during the entire match. The Canadian simply had that extra bit of luck in the tie-break of the first set. In the second, Roger stayed focused to secure the only break of the match. In the final set, our champ then made sure to score enough mini-breaks in the tie-break to convert his second match-ball for a spot in the semis.
Next up is Mikhail Youzhny (ATP 31). Roger leads the head-to-head 12-0.
Keep it up!!!
Good luck in the semis tomorrow!!!
Best wishes for the semis!
Take care. I love you… :) XO
do well tomorrow :).

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet Secretary Len Peters says the state is working on a plan to curb water pollution.
Peters said his agency is drafting a "nutrient management plan" that would focus on nitrogen and phosphorous.
Peters said the nutrients are the second-leading cause of water-quality impairment in the state, having harmed about 350 bodies of water.
He said states like Kentucky that drain into the Mississippi River also contribute to problems in the Gulf of Mexico.
Peters made the comments this week while attending a multi-state and federal task force meeting in Louisville.
He said a draft of Kentucky's plan is expected to be ready for public review by late spring or early summer.

Leeds is renowned for its shopping and it's said to offer some of the best choice outside London. From sprawling indoor markets to quaint shopping centres and large department stores, Leeds has something to offer everyone and makes for the perfect shopper's paradise. This is aided by the fact that vast areas of Leeds' shopping areas are pedestrianised, making then a safe, clean environment to enjoy your time in the city.
