'Despicable Me 2′ Outdraws 'Lone Ranger' at Box Office
Tonto and Co. were trampled by "Despicable Me 2," a Comcast Corp.'s Universal Pictures sequel that ended the five-day holiday weekend with an incredible gross of $142 million, about $82 million of which was made over the weekend. It's the biggest five-day opening for an animated film. The movie, which cost about $76 million, was made by Universal's family entertainment division, Illumination Entertainment.
Overseas, "Despicable Me 2" made about $151 million in 45 international markets over the past five days. The movie had the biggest opening for an animated film in Latin America, and the biggest opening of any film in South Africa and Venezuela. Of the 46 markets that "Despicable Me 2" is playing in, it's the top-grossing movie in 42 of them. It's slated to open in an additional 18 territories over the next few months.
It was a different story for the Walt Disney Co.
Given today's box office reports, "The Lone Ranger" would probably just as soon ride off into the sunset. The studio's reboot of the masked justice-seeker ended a five-day gross of $48.9 million – a sum that missed already-low expectations for the hugely expensive film. The movie made $29.4 million of that total over the weekend. It earned $24.3 million internationally, playing in 24 overseas markets.
Disney's weak opening is especially disappointing given the massive amount of money the studio put into "The Lone Ranger" – nearly $250 million, making it one of the year's most expensive films. The movie wasn't embraced by critics – The Wall Street Journal's Joe Morgenstern said it was "so exhausting as to seem interminable" — but audiences seemed a bit kinder, giving it an average grade of B+, according to market research firm CinemaScore.
But if "The Lone Ranger" was a case of a big budget yielding little reward, it was the opposite story for comedian Kevin Hart's "Let Me Explain," which also opened on Wednesday. The stand-up concert movie by Lionsgate cost $2.5 million to make and took in $17.4 million over the five-day holiday weekend.

LETTER: Obama bypassing Congress, people
Published: Wednesday, May 8, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, May 7, 2013 at 11:39 p.m.
Dear Editor: I truly believe that the integrity of our country and our constitutional rule of law is under assault by a corrupt Obama political machine that is committed to transforming America into a socialist state, no matter the law and the cost to American taxpayers.
One key component of its plan is to generate more loyal followers from the Hispanic community by granting backdoor amnesty to millions of illegal aliens.
The Obama administration is advancing its plan by ignoring the Constitution, bypassing Congress and the American people and enacting regulatory changes to benefit millions of illegal aliens currently in our country.
Without considering our national security and
quality-of-life-issues, local, state and federal government services to illegal immigrants are potentially costing taxpayers thousands of dollars every year in additional taxes — $113 billion in additional taxes last year alone.
The radical Obama administration and its allies are granting backdoor amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants, even granting them the privilege of obtaining scarce American jobs, discounted college tuition costs and driver licenses.
President Barack Obama is closely allied with hard-core left-wing, open border groups like LaRoza and the ACLU.
Obama is in deep trouble with a growing majority of Americans fed up with the growing imperial nature of his presidency.

Getting Smart about Antibiotics
Getting Smart about Antibiotics
02.06.13 | By Sascha Haverfield
Facilitating Increased Antibiotic Development with Existing Regulatory Frameworks
Antibiotics are an essential tool in modern medicine. Pre-antibiotic era mortality rates approached 80% for infectious diseases such as complicated ear infection, blood infection and cholera.
Resistance to antibiotics is an unavoidable, naturally occurring process and the number of multi-drug resistant strains of bacteria is increasing. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that the proportion of staph infections that are resistant to at least one commonly used antibiotic has risen from 3% to 60% since 1980.
Antibiotic resistant infections come with a substantial cost both in terms of lives lost and dollars spent. 99,000 Americans die each year from a bacterial infection acquired during a hospital stay - more than die from HIV/AIDS. Post-surgery patients with multi-drug resistant strains of bacteria face 11 times higher risk of death than patients without infection and patients with multi-drug resistant infections average over $40,000 in additional hospital charges. According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, septicemia (blood infection) was the single most expensive condition treated in U.S. hospitals in 2009 with a cost of nearly $15.4 billion.
The number of antibiotics approved in the U.S. has been steadily decreasing in the past two decades and the pipeline for new antibiotics is alarmingly slim. In 2009, there were 16 antibiotics in development, none of which had activity against bacteria known to be resistant to all available antibiotics. Two years later, only 10 antibiotics were in clinical development and none of those have activity against bacteria known to be resistant to all available antibiotics.
As discussed in a peer-reviewed article published online in Lancet Infectious Diseases last month, the decline in antibiotic approvals reflects a gap in the current regulatory approval paradigm for antibiotics that needs to be addressed. The traditional regulatory paradigm depends on the availability of a lot of people with the target illness. From a public health perspective, it is unwise and irresponsible to wait until there are a lot of patients with a life-threatening, infectious disease.
What can be done to encourage the development of innovative, safe and effective antibiotics? The good news is that existing regulatory frameworks at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are sufficiently flexible, if fully utilized, to permit streamlined development of antibiotics for serious and life-threatening infections.
Traditional registration programs depend on the ready availability of a significant number of patients with the target pathogen in a specific organ. The Animal Rule, a regulatory pathway for the approval of medicines that treat or prevent serious or life-threatening conditions caused by exposure to lethal or permanently disabling toxic substances, is only appropriate in limited, clearly defined circumstances.
What is needed is guidance to define a middle path within the existing, sufficiently flexible regulatory framework to enable the development of antibiotics to treat infections caused by resistant pathogens while the pathogens are still relatively rare and therefore challenging, if not impossible, to study in traditional, large clinical trials. This middle path would permit the proactive development and approval of novel antibiotics for serious or life-threatening infections before a public health crisis emerges.
The additional good news is that the FDA recently announced the formation of an internal task force to develop and revise guidance to support the development of new antibiotic drugs.
The FDA should prioritize the clarification of this middle path with guidance for industry that defines how the totality of preclinical and clinical data can be better utilized to inform antibiotic development and in regulatory decision making. This includes guidance to facilitate pathogen-specific (rather than body-site specific) and feasible studies, the acceptance of efficacy data from preclinical studies as a strong predictor of efficacy of an antibiotic in humans, acceptance of clinical trial designs that incorporate prior knowledge of efficacy to streamline clinical development, and guidance that improves the feasibility of traditional Phase III clinical trials and increases real-world applicability of study results.
There is universal agreement on the urgent need to develop effective new antibiotics. Clear guidance from the FDA on this middle path would provide regulatory clarity and help to facilitate a robust and sustainable discovery and development infrastructure for new antibiotics for patients.
PhRMA and our member companies are pleased to be working collaboratively with the FDA and other stakeholders to overcome the hurdles to developing new antibiotics for the patients who desperately need them.

The latest accident at Rasor Drive happened Tuesday morning as crews were installing flashing yellow lights, the last piece in a package of improvements meant to slow drivers down at the deadly crosswalk where a pedestrian was killed last year.
Traffic was stopped temporarily at the intersection, when an oncoming vehicle slammed into the car in front of it so hard, it hit the next vehicle in line.
The Colorado Department of Transportation has spent tens of thousands of dollars trying to make the intersection safer, but to those who live and work in the area, it doesn't seem to be working.
"We watch near-death accidents almost every day," said Resort Quest technician Tyler Dewitt, who can see the intersection from his office.
Around Christmas, another Resort Quest employee, Scott Howard, donned a vest, grabbed a hand-held stop sign and began escorting his guests across the crosswalk personally. But it wasn't long before he was playing crossing guard for all pedestrians.
"I just saw that need out there," Howard said. "Every time I saw people, I'd run out there and help them across. The mornings are icy, it just scares you to death."
The crosswalk, located near Keystone Resort, cuts across a 45-mph rural highway at an otherwise unmarked intersection and is heavily used due to the bus stops located on either side.
Keystone residents had been complaining that the intersection was unsafe for years, when a drunk driver hit and killed a skier on the crosswalk last spring.
After the accident, CDOT began installing a series of signs and other safety features to make the crosswalk more visible to drivers.
In November, another driver was charged with DUI after failing to stop for pedestrians at the intersection.
Transportation officials say it is the flashing yellow lights installed Tuesday that will make the difference.
"That's going to be what helps the situation," CDOT engineer Grant Anderson said. "Not just the work that's been done to date."
The lights are mounted on mast-arms, similar to a stoplight and activate when they detect the presence of pedestrians without them having to push a button. The signals are intended to warn drivers of the upcoming crosswalk, without giving pedestrians a false sense of security.
It is the last of the package of Phase 1 improvements planned for the intersection. Transportation officials say they will track whether the new signs and safety features work before considering other solutions, such as a stoplight or reduced speed limit.
"We want to see if it's effective and then look at what else we can do," Anderson said. He said he has also recommended Summit County government move the bus stops to a safer location.

How yummy is this mummy? Find out by baking Bot's spookylicious Halloween cupcake!
Weekdays on Nick Jr.
Spoon 1 1/2 cups of the vanilla frosting into a resealable bag and seal the bag. Tint 1 tablespoon of the vanilla frosting blue with the blue food coloring and spoon into a resealable bag. Tint the remaining vanilla frosting neon green with the food coloring. Tint the dark chocolate frosting black with the food coloring and spoon into a resealable bag. Seal the bags.
Roll out each blue fruit chew to a 3 1/2- by 1-inch rectangle. Cut each rectangle in half lengthwise. Set the candies aside on a sheet of wax paper until ready to use. Cut the pretzel sticks in half.
Spread a thin layer of neon green frosting on top of the cupcakes and make smooth. Place the blue strip of fruit chew on the upper third of the frosted cupcake. Insert the pretzel piece in the upper right side of the cupcake for Bot's antennae.
Snip a very small corner from the bag with the black and blue frosting. Pipe a black line of frosting across the fruit chew and pipe Bot's eyes.
Snip a 1/4-inch corner from the bag with the vanilla frosting. Pipe the white lines of frosting to look like a mummy costume over the top and bottom of the cupcake. Add the green candy to the top of the frosted pretzel stick. Pipe a black line across the top of the candy. Pipe a dot of blue frosting in the center of each candy.

The Wilson YMCA has just opened a new Total Access Gym with 10 new machines that are fully accessible for everyone. (WRDW-TV)
News 12 This Morning / Thursday, Oct. 25, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- It's a regular day at the gym with treadmills, stair masters and workout machines, but what if you couldn't use any of those?
A new facility in Augusta is making it easier for people with disabilities to exercise. The Wilson YMCA has just opened a new Total Access Gym with 10 new machines that are fully accessible for everyone. It is the first of its kind in the area.
"Anyone that gets disabled, it's a shocker, especially when you've not been around anybody that's ever been disabled," said Jeanette Thompson, who was injured in an IED explosion in Iraq in 2008.
She is now in a wheelchair, making it difficult to use regular workout machines.
"Just getting in and out of the machines is very difficult," she explained. "But now we don't have that problem anymore now that we have this equipment."
It's all thanks to the new gym at the Wilson Family Y.
"This is the first in the area so what we add to the community is anybody who wants to work out, they can come here and work out. No matter what your boundary or limitations are, you can come in here to work out," said Wellness Program Director James Thomas.
All the machines in the new room adjust so anyone can use them.
"If you're in a wheelchair, the machines, the seats, don't move so you really have to have someone to help you transfer over to them," Thomas said. "These machines, the seat swings out to where they can do that themselves. They can use the machine and then when they're done they can put the seat back so they're all dependent upon themselves to do it."
It's that independence that Thompson says is so important.
"We lost that independence once we became injured, so we don't want to lose that, but having this equipment gives us that back," Thompson said.
A gym like this one is something they say has been missing from the area.
"That's why we brought this here," said Thomas. "Because this isn't just a normal gym; this is for everyone. It's for the whole family."
It is available to be used by anyone, whether you have a disability or not, which is another plus for Thompson.
"My son, he's a college athlete, and so now when he comes home, we can work out together and it's as simple as a swivel of a seat now that me and him can work out together versus saying I can't, I can't do that machine," she explained.
Thompson has done a lot to make the best of her injury. She is a Paralympian. She traveled to New Zealand for the World Championship in 2011 and is currently the American record holder in her class for discus, javelin and shot put.

My buds and I theorized pre show: perhaps a song filled Saturday night rock fest? Perhaps they'd continue to spell another phrase.
But no - contrary to all expectations and sense of decency Phish came out and destroyed with a top notch, free flowing show from front to back, with more than a few top shelf excursions to sink your teeth into.
Antelope was a statement of an opener, the boys putting us on notice that the fire didn't burn out last night. A jammy opener - though type I, and yet here a peaking 10 minute monster - is always a good sign.
BDTTN was fine, energetic and placed PERFECTLY within the show, it was bounced along to and gave Trey a chance to nimble up his fingers.
Tweezer was known to be on deck for tonight, having been destroyed through at least leg II, but where it was placed - similar to last night's Carini - spelled big things for this show. A smooth segue into Fluffhead (ALSO perfectly placed) followed a gorgeous albeit mainly type I Tweezer jam, and kept the energy going while the audience got to bask in the compositional glory that is Phish.
Roses Are Free has been straining at the leash for over a year, and one might have thought the boys'd take this last opportunity to jam this song out. Alas, it was not to be, though a rousing version drew showers of adulation from the assembled crowd. The ensuing Funky Bitch > Moma was pleasingly, rockingly standard in the best possible way.
The remainder of the first set, containing Circus, Theme, Golgi and Stealing Time landed with quiet and then loud intensity. Set break was upon us and we were more than pleased with the follow up offering from the boys.
Golden Age, Caspian, Light and Boogie made up the first 55 minutes of the second set and I tell ya, they could have stopped there. Within the cliche of "if you only hear one jam from this tour..." well, you gotta hear all four. And that's in addition to the 5 top tier jams from night I (this CO stand really has been an embarrassment of riches.)
But seriously, if you only get one jam from this show, get Light. Good god man, go get a Light that carries with it the momentum of all previous Lights; a Light that is a culmination of all we've expected of the song these past few summer. I don't have the exact time, but this HAD to be one of the giddiest, sickest, dirtiest 20 minutes of music Phish has ever played. Ever. Confident and exploratory, deep and communicative, this Light of Lights was indicative of the connection and control Phish has put on display since note 1 night 1.
With a Wedge, Silent> Horse combo, the band again perfectly placed a comparatively tame combo in just the right spot.
After band and crowd caught their collective breath, it was time to bring it all home, and did they ever. A firey Mikes into a No Quarter that was as heavy as the thunder of the gods set up a funky smoking melodic Weekapaug that shut things down RIGHT. Sleeping Monkey into Tweeprize was the only thing left to play, and Trey and the audience headbanged as one while Tweeprize built to the shows final crescendo.
Judging against night 1, you can't say this show was "better," because hell, nothing is better. But night II was equally mind blowing in a completely different sense. How many more possible types of mind blowing sets are Phish poised to lay on us tomorrow night? As these two shows have shown, whatever form it takes, it will be the real deal.
Tl;Dr - drop what you are doing and download these shows for your trip to Dick's tomorrow night.

NEA Forms Movember 'Mustache Syndicate' in Whiskery Fundraiser
As November comes to an end, participants in the men's health charity called Movember are frantically encouraging their friends and family to donate to their cause, and checking the leaderboard to see who raised the most money. They're also itching for a clean shave.
A month-long drive to raise awareness and funds for prostate and testicular cancer initiatives, Movember asks male participants–called "Mo Bros"–to start with a clean shave, and grow out a mustache for the entire month.
One venture firm, New Enterprise Associates has already raised more than $33,000 for Movember, edging into the top-20 U.S. team donors list. On the same leaderboard are teams primarily from much larger corporations, including Merkel, Bechtel Group, and Credit Suisse Group.
The partners with NEA who initiated the team effort, Mohamad Makhzoumi and Ryan Drant, both invest in health care and related technology from medical-device makers, and biopharmaceutical ventures to health-care services and IT providers.
Even before he got involved with Movember, Makhzoumi's friends called him "Mo." In Australian parlance, a "mo" is a mustache. It's the inspiration behind the charity's name. "I don't get any royalties from this," Makhzoumi tells people when he solicits donations.
In an interview with VentureWire, Makhzoumi admitted, "I thought it would be cool to see partners here walking around with terrible mustaches…But sometimes it's too ridiculous. We look like a bunch of accountants, and super villains, and arms dealers, or maybe '70s porn stars trying to remain relevant long past our prime."
With absolutely no requirements to participate or donate, Makhzoumi says eight out of 10 employees at NEA–across the firm's offices, not just in Silicon Valley–have donated to the cause.
Limited partners in NEA's fund even donated. Some female employees' spouses started campaigns (and sported facial hair) of their own. Movember has Mo Sistas, including NEA partners and staff, who participate, but not typically by growing mustaches.
Another partner in NEA's Menlo Park office, Paul Walker, found that his drivers' license expired mid-Movember. He attained a new license, and will have to show his furry face every time he flies, for years.
"It's glorious!" Makhzoumi said of Walker's mustache, "It looks like a prosthetic, kind of like Tom Selleck or Ron Burgundy [a character played by Will Ferrell in "Anchorman."]"
Since 2003, when Movember started in Australia, more than 1.9 million participants and official campaigns in 21 countries have raised over $299 million for mens' health, according to the website of the 501c3.
As for NEA, this year, Makhzoumi said, 25 partners and firm employees joined "The New Enterprise Mossociates" team. Next year, he plans to run a Movember campaign again. He's even hoping to bring more of the industry into his quest.
"Just like we have investing syndicates, I'd like to have a mustache syndicate. I'd love nothing more than to make this as widespread as possible. Best thing is, there's no valuation and negotiation that needs to happen," he said.
If you wish to donate to Movember, you can find the "NEA Mossociates" team page here.

John Buchan's gripping whodunnit, The 39 Steps – memorably filmed by Alfred Hitchcock – is now playing in a stage adaptation on London's West End.
This blissfully funny show follows the incredible adventures of a handsome hero, Richard Hannay, complete with stiff-upper-lip, British gung-ho and pencil moustache, as he encounters dastardly murders, double-crossing secret agents, and, of course, devastatingly beautiful women.
Nothing has been cut from this hilarious and spectacular stage version of Britain's most spell-binding thriller. Legendary scenes include the chase on the Flying Scotsman, the escape on the Forth Bridge, the first theatrical bi-plane crash ever staged and the death-defying (or nearly!) finale at the London Palladium!
This wonderfully inventive and gripping comedy thriller features four fearless actors, playing 139 roles in 100 minutes of fast-paced fun and thrilling action. The 39 Steps is one of the most astonishing theatrical tour de forces to hit the West End in years.

Challenges Ahead for Google's Game Console
Google Is Developing Android Game Console
Android-powered phones and tablets are already popular for playing games. So now Google is making its own branded game console.
But can Googlesucceed in a crowded market? While details on Google's plans are still sparse, it faces some major challenges with game developers.
The numbers suggest Google has an opportunity. Games made for mobile devices, are the fastest growing segment of the market, expected to rise 13.5% to more than $9.94 billion, up from $8.76 billion in 2012. Sales of games made for videogame consoles, however, are growing much more slowly, up only 4% this year to nearly $26 billion.
Now there is a third category emerging: games designed for mobile that can be played through a television screen with a dedicated controller. So far, the market for those devices, such as Ouya and Nvidia Shield, is largely untested.
Preliminary sales of the Ouya, which hit the market on Tuesday, were solid. And there are more of these devices coming down the pike, such as the GameStick.
Where does that leave Google?
It will have to cope with the videogame industry's love of exclusive titles. There are some games, such as Activision Blizzard's "Call of Duty," that can play on pretty much anything with buttons and a joystick. But companies like Sony and Microsoft have purchased videogame studios to make exclusive titles for their devices too. "Halo" and "Uncharted" have been among the most successful titles in the industry, and both of them are exclusive to the Xbox or PlayStation.
Apple has been able to largely avoid this by becoming a go-to device for mobile game developers. Since it led the modern smartphone revolution, companies have created de-facto exclusives for it, such as "Infinity Blade," a fantasy sword-fighting game that was a big hit among gamers for its high quality visuals.
Android's most successful games, for the most part, are available on other platforms. That would likely need to change to make the company's videogame console more enticing.
Then Google has a potential microchip problem. If Google chose to court the likes of Activision and Electronic Arts to bring high-end games made for the Xbox and PlayStation to its console as well, that would likely need to use chips in its console made by Intel or Advanced Micro Devices.
Videogame companies have said Microsoft and Sony's decisions to use the same types of chips, made by AMD, in their upcoming Xbox One and PlayStation 4 have helped lower the cost of development. If Google used the same chips of its console that it does for mobile devices, which are based on designs made by ARM, that would make extra work for game developers.
A spokeswoman from Activision declined to comment. Representatives for Google and EA didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.

The report quoted an unnamed official as saying Saeed Mortazavi, a senior official who once served as Tehran's prosecutor general, has been released.
Mortazavi has been at the center of an escalating confrontation between Ahmadinejad and his conservative rivals in parliament ahead of the June presidential election.
His release is seen as a decision to stave off an escalation among the country's senior officials.
There was no immediate indication of any charges against Mortazavi, who now heads the state Social Security Fund.
Mortazavi's lawyer Mohammad Aslani confirmed his client's release but did not elaborate, the semi-official ISNA news agency said.
A parliament probe two years ago found Mortazavi responsible for deaths by torture of at least three anti-government protesters who were jailed during mass protests in the wake of Ahmadinejad's disputed re-election in 2009.
Mortazavi was taken to prison at midnight Monday, and speculations soared that this was related to the prison deaths.
The detention came a day after Ahmadinejad showed parliament a barely audible video showing Fazel Larijani, brother of parliament speaker Ali Larijani, meeting with Mortazavi and allegedly seeking a bribe from the former prosecutor.
Ahmadinejad on Tuesday denounced Mortazavi's arrest, accusing the judiciary of being run as a "family institution"—a reference to the Larijanis, whose brother, Ayatollah Sadeq Larijani, is Iran's judiciary chief —and saying he would pursue the case after his return from an Islamic summit in Cairo.

Getting back to normal
Published: Monday, March 11, 2013 at 7:33 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, March 11, 2013 at 7:33 a.m.
The good news is that everything at Evergreen Junior High is back to normal.
The bad news is that for several days last week, the important educational mission of the school was disrupted by a bomb threat and rumors of a school shooting.
Local law enforcement and school officials have to take any hint of violence at one of our schools with extraordinary care and vigilance.
The precious lives of the children at any school are so clearly important that their safety is a compelling reason to go incredible lengths to protect them and make sure they are not exposed to unnecessary risks.
That responsibility is exposed in awe-inspiring fashion whenever there is an emergency or a potential danger.
We can see how well these public officials take their duties and how well they handle the business of keeping our kids safe.
We see that they take seriously any hint of danger, and they respond with appropriate care and concern, and with the proper level of attention and force.
There were deputies posted at the school late last week to make sure that nothing terrible happened. But their presence was a precaution meant to maintain peace of mind more than anything else.
Through it all, the Terrebonne Sheriff's Office and the Terrebonne school officials handled themselves well and did everything they could to alleviate the public's concern while minimizing the students' risk.
While these events can underscore how well our local officials do their jobs, though, they also make those jobs exponentially more difficult.
It is much harder to keep the children, teachers, workers and administrators safe when the deputies and school officials have to respond to inaccurate rumors and shocking threats.
It is a testament to the demanding and thankless work these professionals do that they are able to handle brief interruptions such as what happened last week while remaining focused on their primary goal of education.
It is great to see how well they handle potential crises. And it is a relief to learn that the potential crisis has passed without incident.
But it is just as frustrating to know that the real focus and dedication of all these people was made so much more difficult by the thoughtless actions of just a few. Let's hope this incident passes unrepeated into history.

thank you for PMS. i have enjoyed it for a year or so now.
recently i migrated the server to a linux box here. it works great, and fast.
i download legal video torrents using utorrent. the client has the option to send commands after a torrent completes.
i use a batch file to open a browser to the scan page, than close the browser. in this fashion i had been keeping the server
library updated within windows.
i can see that it appears to be working in centos, it scans, and i can see the new media on like vlc, or bubble upnp, etc - but not on the ps3.
to get the ps3 seeing updated media, i need to kill the server and restart it. i could be doing this, but it just doesnt seem as efficient
as only scanning, i figured id ask why this may be happening.

Bob Dylan Set to Display Iron Sculptures
"I've been around iron all my life, ever since I was a kid," said Dylan. "I was born and raised in iron ore country where you could breathe it and smell it every day. And I've always worked with it in one form or another."
Among the sculptures are seven gates made from vintage iron and scrap metal, adorned with random objects such as a wrench, a roller skate and a meat grinder.
"Gates appeal to me because of the negative space they allow," Dylan explained. "They can be closed but at the same time they allow the seasons and breezes to enter and flow. They can shut you out or shut you in. And in some ways there is no difference."
All the featured itemswhich also include a new collection of Dylan's silkscreen workswill be available for purchase. "His iron works demonstrate his boundless creativity and talent," remarked Halcyon president Paul Green. "As these artworks are made at home, not on the road, they give us a rare glimpse into another part of the artist's own personal universe." more on this story

Sarasota man killed in Newtown shooting
Published: Saturday, October 1, 2011 at 9:43 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, October 1, 2011 at 9:43 a.m.
Sarasota Police are investigating a murder after a man was shot early this morning in the north Sarasota neighborhood of Newtown.
The victim was identified as as Hakeem Murray, 20. He lived in the 3200 block of Newtown Estates Blvd.
A police report said that at about 1:00 a.m today, officers patrolling Newtown heard multiple gun shots. Officers immediately checked the 1900 block of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. and the surrounding area.
Less than 10-minutes later police learned that a victim with gunshot wounds had arrived at Sarasota Memorial Hospital. The victim, Murray, was taken to the hospital by his acquaintances in a private vehicle. He died within minutes after arriving at the hospital.
Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call Sarasota Police Det. Anthony DeFrancisco at 941-954-7070.

Alcohol use can be a slippery slope. Moderate drinking can offer some health benefits. But heavy drinking can have serious consequences.
It sounds like a mixed message: Drinking alcohol may offer some health benefits, especially for your heart. On the other hand, alcohol may increase your risk of health problems and damage your heart.
So which is it? When it comes to drinking alcohol, the key is doing so only in moderation. Certainly, you don't have to drink any alcohol, and if you currently don't drink, don't start drinking for the possible health benefits. In some cases, it's safest to avoid alcohol entirely — the possible benefits don't outweigh the risks.
Here's a closer look at the connection between alcohol and your health.
Moderate alcohol consumption may provide some health benefits. It may:
Even so, the evidence about the possible health benefits of alcohol isn't certain, and alcohol may not benefit everyone who drinks.
If you choose to drink alcohol, do so only in moderation. For healthy adults, that means up to one drink a day for women of all ages and men older than age 65, and up to two drinks a day for men age 65 and younger.
Examples of one drink include:
Moderate alcohol use may be of most benefit if you're an older adult or if you have existing risk factors for heart disease. If you're a middle-aged or younger adult, some evidence shows that even moderate alcohol use may cause more harm than good. You can take other steps to benefit your cardiovascular health besides drinking — eating a healthy diet and exercising, for example.

Traveler's diarrhea is loose, watery stools. People can get traveler's diarrhea when they visit places where the water is not clean or the food is not handled safely. This can include third-world or developing countries in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.
This article tells you what you should eat or drink if you have traveler's diarrhea.
Diet - traveler's diarrhea; Diarrhea - traveler's - diet
Bacteria and other substances in the water and food can cause traveler's diarrhea. People who live these areas don't often get sick because their bodies are used to the bacteria.
You can lower your risk for getting traveler's diarrhea by avoiding water, ice, and food that may be contaminated. The goal of the traveler's diarrhea diet is to make your symptoms better and prevent you from getting dehydrated.
Traveler's diarrhea is rarely dangerous in adults. It can be more serious in children.
How to prevent traveler's diarrhea:
There is no vaccine against traveler's diarrhea.
Your doctor may recommend medicines to help lower your chances of getting sick.
If you have diarrhea, follow these tips to help you feel better:
Dehydration means your body does not have as much water and fluids as it should. It is a very big problem for children or people who are in a hot climate. Signs of severe dehydration include:
Give your child fluids for the first 4 - 6 hours. At first, try 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) of fluid every 30 to 60 minutes.
In developing countries, many health agencies stock packets of salts to mix with water. If these fluids are not available, you can make an emergency solution by mixing:
Get medical help right away if you or your child has symptoms of severe dehydration, or if you have a fever or bloody stools.

Boys' Toddler Marvel by Stride Rite Spider-Man Lighted Shandals
Buy Online & Pick Up In-Store
Wow your toddler with the Marvel by Stride Ride Spider-Man Lighted Shandals. He will love how Spidy's eyes light up with each new step he takes.
These shoes that double as sandals are perfect for spring and summer, as they will keep his small toes protected, and cool at the same time, unlike tennis shoes, thanks to their mesh linings for breathability.
However, like tennis shoes, they have a thick rubber outsole for complete traction and a leather and mesh upper for durability and a comfortable fit. What's also nice about these cool Spiderman shoes is their closure with a hook and loop system so they can be put on and taken off in no time.

The girls basketball team is a little older, a little wiser and more importantly a lot deeper this year.
Eight of the 10 players on the girls roster are returners. The veterans have playoffs in mind and the basketball skills to back it up.
"All 10 of our players can play ball," head coach Tom Esposito said. "We don't have to hide anyone this year. We have a deeper bench than we've ever had."
Sisters Emily Harris and Amanda Harris are the cornerstone of that depth. The 5-foot-11 seniors are aggressive players, leading scorers and team leaders on and off the court.
Emily will run the point for the second year in a row, and Amanda will do what she does best - find net.
The sisters led the team in scoring with 12 points each during a scrimmage against Sierra Lutheran, Tuesday.
"They have two things going, they're very competitive and very athletic. With that combination, neither of them takes losing lightly," Esposito said.
The basketball team also returned Sierra Forvilly, a key player who elected to join ski team instead of basketball last year. Fresh from the soccer season, Forvilly is fast and a dependable point guard for the Warriors.
Forvilly and speedy soccer teammate Jenny Shepack add some seriously speed moves to the Warriors' arsenal.
"Sierra and Jenny bring us speed. Actually we call Jenny 'The Jet.' We are much faster than last year with them," Esposito said.
In addition to adding speed, the Warriors also added some new defensive moves.
"We picked up on the defensive end, I won't say how, but we picked up on the defensive end with some different strategies," Esposito. "We put in a couple changes on our offense too."
Nicki Simon and Gisselle Benitez also bring soccer stamina to the basketball court. Tori Jimenez, Veronica Charles and Iran Manzano finalize the girls varsity roster.
The combination promises for a strong season with an equally strong shot at playoffs.
"We're stronger this year than we were last year," Esposito said. "If everyone stays healthy we will go far. They can make it to state."

Terrebonne jail regains power
Published: Friday, February 15, 2013 at 11:28 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 15, 2013 at 3:59 p.m.
The Terrebonne Parish jail regained power this afternoon after losing it Thursday, the sheriff said.
Power was restored about 1 p.m., while generators powered the doors and a limited supply of light beforehand, Sheriff's Office authorities said.
"We really didn't have much of a problem," Sheriff Jerry Larpenter said.
However, "thank God it was fixed in an expedient time," he said.
Inmates were not able to take hot showers or wash clothes during that time, Sheriff's Office attorney Bill Dodd said.
"You can't go without power. You're going to have a major potential health problem if the parish doesn't get that fixed," Dodd said this morning.
Being without power for an extended period of time would have opened the Sheriff's Office to lawsuits, Dodd said.
"We can't go the weekend without power," he said at the time.
A faulty transformer was installed last week, Larpenter said. An electric company replaced it today.
"They got on it pretty quick and fixed it pretty quick," Larpenter said.
At one point today, about eight or nine electrical trucks were parked outside the parish jail, Dodd said.
Staff Writer Katie Urbaszewski can be reached at 448-7617 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Tickets for The Who accepted 33 years later AARON COHEN · AUG 06 2012
In 1979, 11 peopled died in a stampede before a stop on The Who's Quadrephenia tour in Cincinnati when not enough doors were opened to let in the crowd. Providence mayor Buddy Cianci canceled a concert two weeks later at the Providence Civic Center, and The Who hasn't ever been back to Providence. Last week, the GM of the PCC, now called the Dunkin' Donuts Center announced he'd accept unrefunded tickets for The Who's February, 2013 concert.
Tuesday, as the Providence Journal reports, "the patience and tenacity of 10 Who fans was rewarded ... at the Dunkin' Donuts Center, where they traded in 14 tickets to the band's canceled 1979 Providence performance in exchange for tickets to their February 2013 show at the Dunk." The ProJo has video. Fan Ed McConnell says he knew exactly where his two '79 tickets were: one was in a cigar box in a closet and the other one "was stuck on a cork bulletin board in my parent's house in my brother's old bedroom."
About 10 fans exchanged their tickets, including one fan who had waited in line for 3 days to get tickets in 1978. (via Josh)
PS: Songs by The Who considered of puntastic entry in this post include the following: Going Mobile, I Can See for Miles, I Can't Explain, I've Been Away, Long Live Rock, My Generation, The Kids Are Alright, and Who Are You?

How-To: Find and Extract Video File Details
Using FFMpeg it is relatively simple to query an existing video file to find details such as video codec, audio codec, bitrates, duration and dimensions.
Use the following FFmpeg command in a terminal window:
ffmpeg -i input_file.extension
FFmpeg will just open your input file without doing anything to it. Something like this will be returned in the terminal window:
phillc@phillc-laptop:~$ ffmpeg -i 848_Termi.mov
FFmpeg version SVN-r11213, Copyright (c) 2000-2007 Fabrice Bellard, et al.
configuration: –enable-gpl –enable-pp –enable-libvorbis
–enable-libtheora –enable-liba52 –enable-libdc1394 –enable-libgsm
–enable-libmp3lame –enable-libfaad –enable-libfaac –enable-libxvid
–enable-pthreads –enable-libx264
libavutil version: 49.6.0
libavcodec version: 51.49.0
libavformat version: 52.2.0
built on Dec 13 2007 20:20:36, gcc: 4.1.3 20070929 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.2-16ubuntu2)
Input #0, mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2, from '848_Termi.mov':
Duration: 00:00:51.7, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 862 kb/s
Stream #0.0(eng): Video: h264, yuv420p, 480×360 [PAR 0:1 DAR 0:1], 25.00 tb(r)
Stream #0.1(eng): Audio: mpeg4aac, 44100 Hz, stereo
Must supply at least one output file
All very interesting, but what if you want to do something more with this information, like write it to a file for use in another program, or just want a more convenient way of viewing the details without having to remember an FFmpeg command? Write a small script to do the work for you. Here's one I created earlier in Perl…….
# Read command line input file
$input_file = shift;
# Read details of input file and display to user
$ffmpeg_input_details="ffmpeg -i ${input_file} 2>input_file.txt";
@inputfile = <INPUTFILE>;
@input_file_video = grep (/Video:/i, @inputfile);
@input_file_audio = grep (/Audio:/i, @inputfile);
@input_file_duration = grep (/Duration:/i, @inputfile);
print "Details for the file $input_file.\n";
print "It contains the following video data:\n";
print "@input_file_video\n";
print "It contains the following audio data:\n";
print "@input_file_audio\n";
print "It has a duration and bitrate of:\n";
print "@input_file_duration\n";
To use this script simply type the following at your command prompt:
perl scriptname.pl input_file.extension
Good luck extending this small script for your own uses.

- What is WASC?
The Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) is the accrediting body for the western region of the United States. Accreditation is the process for evaluating and assuring the quality of educational institutions and programs. WASC requires that we demonstrate that we are taking real steps to fulfill our mission, are measuring the effectiveness of those steps, and are using the results of those measurements to improve what we do. (return to the top)
- Why is it important to Fresno State?
Accreditation assures stakeholders that a university is rigorously evaluated and meets or exceeds the accreditation standards. Accreditation is also required for our students to qualify for participation in federal financial aid programs. The accreditation process is more than an administrative hurdle; it is an opportunity for us to discuss what is important to Fresno State and to focus on reaching those goals.(return to the top)
- What are the WASC Standards and where can they be found?
Standards of accreditation are the principles used as a basis for judgment in accreditation reviews. WASC has four Standards that flow from three Core Commitments. They are used to guide institutions in assessing institutional performance, to identify areas needing improvement, and to serve as the basis for judgment of the institution by evaluation teams and the Senior College and University Commission. The standards are available in the WASC Handbook at: http://www.wascsenior.org/resources/handbook-accreditation-2013. (return to the top)
- What are the WASC Core Competencies?
As defined in WASC Standard 2, Criterion for Review 2.2, institutions report on graduating students' levels of performance in five core competencies common to all degrees: written and oral communication, quantitative reasoning, critical thinking, and information literacy. (return to the top)
- What does WASC mean by "Meaning, Quality and Integrity of the Degree"?
In WASC usage, this phrase refers to the goals, coherence, sequencing, alignment, resourcing, and overall quality of the educational experience leading to conferral of an institution's degree. (return to the top)
- How do student learning outcomes assessment relate to WASC?
WASC Criterion for Review 2.6 requires "The institution demonstrates that its graduates consistently achieve its stated learning outcomes and established standards of performance". Criteria for Review 4.2 states that "Assessment of teaching, learning and the campus environment… is undertaken, used for improvement, and incorporated into institutional planning processes". The assessment of student learning appears in other criteria for review and is directly related to WASC's core commitment to quality and improvement. (return to the top)
- What is a "criterion for review"?
A Criterion for Review (CFR) is a statement in relation to which an institution is reviewed. Criteria for review are more specific than the four Standards of Accreditation and are intended to define and explain the Standards. Substantial compliance with both the Standards and Criteria for Review is required by state and federal laws for accreditation. CFRs also provide guidance to institutions and form the basis for Commission decisions about an institution's accreditation status. (return to the top)
- What are the timelines for Fresno State's WASC Review?
- August 20, 2014 – Self Study document due
- November 20, 2014 – Off site review (a SKYPE call where our outside review team asks questions, makes preliminary findings based on the institutional report and identifies the lines of inquiry which the team will focus on when they visit campus).
- October 20-23, 2015 - Accreditation visit (where the outside review team visits campus and meets with representatives to follow up on outstanding issues and verify or revise its preliminary findings.). (return to the top)
- Where can I find Fresno State's WASC Accreditation Documents?
Fresno State's accreditation documents may be found at http://www.fresnostate.edu/academics/wasc/resources.html (return to the top)
- Who serves on the WASC Committee on campus?
Leadership for our WASC Reaccreditation efforts comes from an Executive Committee and a larger Steering Committee. Membership for each committee can be found at http://www.fresnostate.edu/academics/wasc/committees/index.html. (return to the top)
- Where can I submit my suggestions or comments about the WASC process or documents?
You may submit your comments or suggestions through this form (http://www.fresnostate.edu/academics/wasc/feedback.html). In addition, members of the WASC Committee will be reaching out to various campus constituents over the coming months to inform others of the process and solicit feedback. This will include several open campus forums. (return to the top)

- Ol' Reliable I ordered this gun from Shorty 2 summers ago, and it's been by my side since. For a beginner gun, it has great accuracy and great range.
Great Range
Great Accuracy
Good Magazine Capacity
Magazine is wobbly
Paint Chips
Gun is great, of course it could be better, but it's $149.99. Great gun for entry-level.
- Great for Field playThis is a great rifle to use for Field play. Because it's the long type I wouldn't recommend it for CQB unless of course you don't mind your barrel protruding the corner for people to see. Here's a breakdown of the rifle altogether.
Durable construction
Metal gearbox
Easily adjustable hop-up
Pistol grip
Effective range at <130 ft.
Butt of stock tends to fall off
Magazine gets wobbly
For the money I paid for the rifle I can't complain. It's a great entry level rifle.
- One of the Best Gun Ive Ever BoughtLet me start off by saying that this gun is very reliable. I've owned this gun for about a year and a half and I have only had two minor problem with it. One problem I had with this gun is a loose charging handle which eventually fell out, since this had no purpose aside from ascetic reasons it didn't bother me. The other problem was a wobbly magazine. Overall if your looking for a nice starter gun this is definitely the way to go.
Great for CQC
Good accuracy
Good range
Light (Can be a con or a pro)
Wobbly Magazine
Cheaply made charging handle

Configure OpenVPN on Mandriva 2010.2? [SOLVED]
Can someone please, please explain to me how to configure OpenVPN on Mandriva 2010.2?
I have received a static key and IP address from the company that provides the VPN service.
I have already installed OpenVPN on my server, so I "just" need help with the configuration.
Preferably a step-by-step guide. :blush:
I can give root-access if it feels right for me, so it can be fixed quicker. (Is a bit paranoid.) :unsure:
Thanks in advance...
