If we could go the other way and breed our tailbones into something useful I would be willing to accept that solution.

ALAMEDA -- The Raiders were studying defensive tackle Stacy McGee a lot more closely than McGee was studying the Raiders.
"I hadn't really heard much from them," McGee said Saturday on the second day of the Raiders rookie minicamp. "I talked to them at the combine a few times but that was really it."
A sixth-round draft pick out of Oklahoma, McGee's selection was as surprise in that he came with the kind of baggage which made him a an unlikely choice for the Raiders under general manager Reggie McKenzie and coach Dennis Allen.
There was a DUI arrest, a citation for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia, plus suspensions for breaking team rules which were not specified by Oklahoma. McKenzie has talked often of drafting players of character, who are willing to work and ready to play.
"That was something from the past, and something I'm looking to move forward from, to grow as a person, become a man," McGee said.
Allen said the Raiders have talked in depth with McGee about what is expected of him.
"Guys are going to make mistakes," Allen said. "Nobody's perfect. When we did our research on him, we felt like he was a guy to whom we wanted to give a second opportunity.
"We've had a lot of conversations. I think he understands the mistakes he's made. He's ready to learn and move on from it. I think if he can do that, there might be a football player there for us."
McGee said his initial talks with McKenzie and Raiders coaches at the combine were little more than simply letting them see "everything they heard wasn't me. It was just mistakes I've made."
The hope is getting away from home will be part of the maturation process.
"Getting away from my family, changing my life and the people I'm around will help a lot," McGee said.
Once McGee is full-speed -- he's recovering from a foot injury -- Allen sees a potentially imposing presence in the middle of the defense.
"He's got really good size and strength, and he moves really well," Allen said. "I think he has got really good ability to to stop the run. Pass rush is an area he can improve on, but he's a guy I'm anxious to see when he really gets a chance to get out there and work."
McGee conceded he really doesn't know a lot about the Raiders and their tradition.
"I don't know much," McGee said. "But I'm learning."

Hello all,
First wanted to say thank you for the awesome piece of software. Recently started using it on Windows with my Phillips TV and it worked better than any other Media server I have tried.
Now I got Mac Mini with Mountain Lion and I tried latest PMS 1.71 on it, it detects TV correctly (working in same network as from windows computer), and it even appears on my TV, but when I want to browse it, it only shows "No playable files in this folder". Basically there is no file nor folder under PMS.
So I wanted to ask, what could be wrong, is there any additional step I need to take? Like choosing different File system or something like that?
All configuration is as by default, I've only changed port number to 5002 (because 5001 could be already taken by windows PC)
Here is a contents of my debug.log: http://pastebin.com/RRbpJPFm
As you see there is some kind of error
So what am I doing wrong?

I was compelled to write this after almost getting physically ill reading the absurd column by Paul Kulas on Nov. 9. His diatribe is written like a true partisan and as a self-acknowledged high school dropout. It reflects his complete misunderstanding of just about every issue he commented on.
First of all, in the recent election, the biggest losers were not Mitt Romney and Republicans but the venerable USA and the truth.
We had an opportunity to elect a truly honorable and decent man, who could have used his considerable talents to save our sinking economy. Thanks to a historic and unbelievably dishonest and despicable smear campaign by David Axelrod and his cronies, we've lost this opportunity.
Instead, a man who has amply demonstrated his lack of leadership, questionable integrity and inability to fix our economy was rehired for four more years.
Inevitably, all of the issues that Romney campaigned on will come home to roost. Our national debt will grow exponentially, unemployment will likely increase, our military will get weaker as our adversaries get stronger, and we will be increasingly hated abroad.
Just under half of this nation wanted Obama removed from office, and while this did not happen in this election, there are legions of good and decent men and women who know the score and feel like we've just been hustled in this election by a group of unscrupulous bottom feeders.
Kulas seems incapable of comprehending that while this country may be changing demographically, the values and principles that made it great in previous generations are eroding, and sadly we are now a country in rapid decline.
As H.L. Mencken so artfully put it: "People deserve the government they get, and they deserve to get it good and hard." Well, regrettably, we will all now have to live with the results of this election and it's not going to be pretty.
Obama was a failure and he's just been given another chance to fail some more at our collective expense. The only difference is that this time half the nation already has his number and the other half still foolishly think this guy is something he's not.
Throughout history, most of the great nation states have eventually collapsed from within due to many of the very things being pushed now by the liberals in this country. The recent election has just hastened our demise.
Sadly, it won't be until we're overrun from outsiders or our system collapses from the weight of too many parasites and not enough producers that fools like Kulas will wake up.

Each year, about 30 outstanding honors sophomores, juniors, or seniors are selected to work one-on-one with faculty scholars who assume both the role and title of mentor in the Honors Undergraduate Fellows program.
This unique opportunity offers mutual benefits. Students get to delve into previously unexplored academic areas, while faculty mentors can share the enjoyment of research and learning. Both are enriched by the experience and close contact. Student fellows are paid for their work and receive the designation "Honors Undergraduate Fellow" on their Ball State transcripts.
Fellowship appointments last a maximum of two semesters. The length of each fellowship depends on the nature of the proposed project. At the end of the experience, both the fellow and the mentor are asked to submit an evaluation of the program.
Currently student fellows will earn $1,080 for 150 hours of work each semester (10 hours per week for 15 weeks). With justification, applicants may request an additional $300 in expenses as part of their initial application to the program. Approved expenses will be funded only by reimbursing the fellow or the mentor's academic department, and the expenses should be itemized when they are incurred.
Please review the eligibility criteria and accountability information for student fellows, faculty mentors, and fellowship proposals.
Application Deadline
Application materials are due in March. Download the undergraduate fellowship application form (PDF) or pick up an application at the Honors College offices in the Ball Honors House.
Students or faculty members interested in the Honors Undergraduate Fellows program should contact James S. Ruebel, dean of the Honors College.

Finding the groups of a user in WLS with OPSS
By user12587121 on Apr 06, 2012
How to find the group memberships for a user from a web application running in Weblogic server ? This is useful for building up the profile of the user for security purposes for example.
WLS as a container offers an identity store service which applications can access to query and manage identities known to the container. This article for example shows how to recover the groups of the current user, but how can we find the same information for an arbitrary user ?
It is the Oracle Platform for Securtiy Services (OPSS) that looks after the identity store in WLS and so it is in the OPSS APIs that we can find the way to recover this information.
This is explained in the following documents. Starting from the FMW 126.96.36.199 book list, with the Security Overview document we can see how WLS uses OPSS:
Proceeding to the more detailed Application Security document, we find this list of useful references for security in FMW. We can follow on into the User/Role API javadoc. The Application Security document explains how to ensure that the identity store is configured appropriately to allow the OPSS APIs to work. We must verify that the jps-config.xml file where the application is deployed has it's identity store configured--look for the following elements in that file:
- <serviceProvider
type="IDENTITY_STORE" name="idstore.ldap.provider"
<description>LDAP-based IdentityStore Provider</description>
- <serviceInstance name="idstore.ldap" provider="idstore.ldap.provider">
<property name="idstore.config.provider" value="oracle.security.jps.wls.internal.idstore.WlsLdapIdStoreConfigProvider"/>
<property name="CONNECTION_POOL_CLASS" value="oracle.security.idm.providers.stdldap.JNDIPool"/>
- <serviceInstanceRef ref="idstore.ldap"/>
The document contains a code sample for using the identity store here.
Once we have the identity store reference we can recover the user's group memberships using the RoleManager interface:
RoleManager roleManager = idStore.getRoleManager();
SearchResponse grantedRoles = null;
System.out.println("Retrieving granted WLS roles for user " + userPrincipal.getName());
grantedRoles = roleManager.getGrantedRoles(userPrincipal, false);
while( grantedRoles.hasNext()){
Identity id = grantedRoles.next();
System.out.println(" disp name=" + id.getDisplayName() +
" Name=" + id.getName() +
" Principal=" + id.getPrincipal() +
"Unique Name=" + id.getUniqueName());
// Here, we must use WLSGroupImpl() to build the Principal otherwise
// OES does not recognize it.
retSubject.getPrincipals().add(new WLSGroupImpl(id.getPrincipal().getName()));
}catch(Exception ex) {
System.out.println("Error getting roles for user " + ex.getMessage());
}catch(Exception ex) {
System.out.println("OESGateway: Got exception instantiating idstore reference");
This small JDeveloper project has a simple servlet that executes a request for the user weblogic's roles on executing a get on the default URL. The full code to recover a user's goups is in the getSubjectWithRoles() method in the project.

Joe Jonas wrote a piece for Vulture in which he talks about smoking pot with Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato and losing his virginity to Ashley Greene.
That's right -- Miley Cyrus smokes pot. What's next, provocative dancing on award shows?
Jonas, 24, also wrote about how he and his two brothers Kevin, now 26, and Nick, now 21, wore purity rings to represent their "promises to ourselves and to God that we'll stay pure till marriage," they decided to take them off a few years ago.
"I lost my virginity when I was 20. I did other stuff before then, but I was sexually active at 20," Jonas wrote. "I'm glad I waited for the right person, because you look back and you go, 'That girl was bat (expletive) crazy. I'm glad I didn't go there.'"
According to the Huffington Post, that "right person" appears to have been Ashley Greene, whom Jonas dated from Oct. 2010 to March 2011.
"When I was 20, I started dating Ashley Greene, and she was my first serious relationship. We were together for almost a year," Jonas wrote. "I was living out in L.A. by myself, and at the end of the day, long distance didn't work. It's incredibly difficult. I did a cover story with Details acknowledging the relationship, and the day after it was on newsstands, we announced our breakup. That was just coincidence, but it's funny how that always happens, right?"
Right. In fact, every one of my relationships has ended right after a magazine did a cover story on me.
"After Ashley, I took two or three years to just be single," he said. "I was hooking up and having fun. Now I'm with someone I really care about. We get each other."
Jonas is currently dating Blanda Eggenschwiler whom, one can assume, is not bat (expletive) crazy.
Jonas also wrote that former girlfriend Lovato and Cyrus convinced him to try pot for the first time.
"The first time I smoked weed was with Demi and Miley," he wrote. "I must have been 17 or 18. They kept saying, 'Try it! Try it!' so I gave it a shot, and it was all right. I don't even smoke weed that often anymore. I was caught drinking when I was 16 or 17, and I thought the world was going to collapse. But I was in another country, and it was legal there. My 21st birthday, I fell down a flight of stairs. I was unconscious that time, and my whole team was scared to death that somebody was going to get a picture. Now I appreciate wine or a vodka-soda at the end of the day every once in a while."

Oracle Earnings: What to Watch
Oracle pleasantly surprised Wall Street in December. Can the business-software maker pull off a repeat?
Oracle, best known for its corporate databases, put investors at ease with a strong fiscal second quarter, which showed the company could sell its traditional software, ward off upstarts like Workday in human-resource and financial software, plus keep up its margins.
Investors, some of whom worry Oracle can't keep growing, are hoping for another good showing after market close Tuesday, when the company reports financial results for its third quarter ended in February. Oracle hosts an earnings conference call with analysts at 5 p.m. ET.
Analysts on average expect Oracle to report adjusted earnings of 70 cents a share, up from 65 cents in the year-earlier quarter, according to Thomson Reuters. They expect revenue to rise 4%, to about $9.4 billion.
Here are a few issues keeping Wall Street on guard:
Will there be organic growth after a few rough quarters? The bear case on Oracle is the company will follow the low-to-negative growth path of IBM. Oracle fueled those worries in the year with a couple of weak quarters, but Wall Street is expecting another good showing from the closely watched sales of new software licenses or subscriptions.
Analysts expect revenue from new software licenses or subscriptions to be about 5% higher than a weak quarter a year ago. But Barclays estimates the true growth rate — excluding revenue from newly acquired companies and foreign-currency effect– will be more like 2%.
Is the sales-force restructuring paying off? Oracle reworked its sales force in the last couple of years in part to devote people to compete against rivals like Salesforce.com and SAP. The company blamed the changes for a couple of quarters of rocky execution. Now that the newbies have more experience under their belts, Wall Street is looking for a payoff in higher sales at a better margin.
Can hardware sales grow again? Sales of computer servers and other hardware have been a weak spot. Hardware revenue was roughly flat in the fiscal second quarter, an improvement from prior quarters. Wells Fargo analyst Jason Maynard expects Oracle's quarterly hardware revenue to grow 2.7% from a year ago.
Some of Oracle's older hardware businesses are expected to shrink. But it's crucial for the company to show traction from new types of combined hardware and software machines, such as Exadata and Exalogic, which give businesses everything they need in one machine to run Oracle databases and financial software.
What else will Oracle buy? A perennial question. This is Oracle, a company known for acquisitions, and generally getting good financial returns out of the deals. Oracle announced a few acquisitions during the past quarter, including of two marketing-software firms, but Wall Street has been anticipating a Big One to push Oracle into new markets.

David Guice appointed to corrections post
Published: Wednesday, January 9, 2013 at 9:13 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 9, 2013 at 9:13 p.m.
W. David Guice has been appointed chief deputy secretary over the Division of Adult Correction, DPS Secretary Kieran Shanahan announced Wednesday in a news release. Guice succeeds Jennie Lancaster, who retired Jan. 1.
"With his long-term commitment to the state and public safety, as well as his expertise in Community Corrections, I am certain he will continue to serve the state and the department well in this extraordinarily important role," Shanahan said in the release.
Guice has served as the section chief for Community Corrections since December 2011. Previously, he served as a member of the state House of Representatives for two years. He retired from the Department of Correction in February 2009 following a 30-year career including service as a probation officer, a chief probation parole officer and a parole services manager overseeing operations in 27 western counties.
"I am humbled and appreciate the opportunity to continue to serve in this key role," Guice said in the release. "This last year leading Community Corrections has been extremely rewarding and I look forward to continuing to build on the good work done all across Adult Correction."
In the General Assembly, Guice served as co-chair of the House Appropriations Subcommittee for Justice and Public Safety and co-chair of the Joint Legislative Oversight Committee on Justice and Public Safety. He also was the principal sponsor of the Justice Reinvestment Act, which enables the state to more effectively manage the prison population through targeted programming and treatment for high risk offenders.
A native of Buncombe County, Guice earned his bachelor's degree in social work at Mars Hill College.

CORPUS CHRISTI – Former Texas A&M - Corpus Christi men's cross country runner Scott Vance has returned to competition in his native home of Mount Eliza, Australia. The former Islander distance runner placed fourth in the Australian National Cross Country Championships on August 25th with a time of 41:56 in the 12k. Vance will try out for the IAAF World Cross Country Championships in Bydgoszcz, Poland, next year. The event will be on Sunday, March 24.
GoIslanders.com caught up with Vance:
GI: What was it like competing in the Australian National Cross Country Championships?
SV: It felt pretty nostalgic. I had raced in this event eight times since I was 12 and it had been six years since I had been there because of the time spent in Texas.
GI: What would you compare the experience to?
SV: I actually found myself comparing it to my first ever national championships when I was 12 and no one expected anything from me.
GI: When will you try out for the World Championships in Poland?
SV: January 12th of next year, it takes place in Canberra, which is Australia's capital city. The course has been developed on the land of a burnt down forest and designed by a previous World Champion marathon gold medalist Robert De Castella, so I am excited to check it out quite soon.
GI: What is your pre-race ritual?
SV: I like to drink a Powerade, eat some yogurt, jam toast and listen to some Indie rock.
GI: What are some of the things you took away from being an Islander that has helped you to this day?
SV: The importance of awesome and loving teammates, coaches and trainers.
GI: What influence has Coach Flanagan had on your running career?
SV: The contrast between my coach in Australia and Coach Flanagan, I have just realized is massive. I love them both for different reasons. Coach Flanagan's commitment has pushed me to get up early so I can do the extra strengthening that I need to do, to watch my health, including the amount of sleep I get and to drink chocolate milk after training lol.
GI: Did you finish out your career in education and if so are you teaching?
SV: Yes, I started teaching physical education part time in a primary school or as you guys call it an elementary school, it is great fun.
GI: Do you still follow Islanders Cross Country and if so what advice would you give the current Islanders?
SV: Yes I do! Everyone is different, however, I would tell the guys to remember to listen to their bodies, get regular treatment, even if it's self massage, don't party too much, find a positive in everything and just enjoy it.
GI: What was your favorite memory as an Islander?
SV: There are way too many to choose from ... I guess one thing I often think about is the singing we would do in warm downs and in the locker rooms. Especially when we dressed up as cowboys, equipped with a boom box and mustaches, singing TNT as we marched through the Dugan Wellness Center up to do weights in the gym, almost too much fun!

It haunted for a long time around in my head an now I have to spit it out ...
- If I see the Isometric View Toolbar I always think that the Grid Icon belongs also into this bar (in first place!) and then the toolbar should be renamed just in "Grid",
- The Toolbar "View" should for now just include the "Draft mode" and "Screen-based Line types,
- the rest of the "View" tool-bar should get the name "Zoom".
I'm alone with this opinion?

The meals are meant to come out quick, but at Above the Blue, it's anything but fast food.
That's because at the new walk-up eatery at the corner of South Park and South Main Street in Breckenridge, owners and cooks Matt Blake and Stephen Dickinson are taking their professional high-end kitchen experience, along with plenty of local ingredients, and applying it to the quick-and-easy take-out format. Dickinson describes it as "food truck-style food without the truck."
There's the applewood smoked ribs and pulled pork sandwich - both prepared in the very, very tiny kitchen that opens up to the sidewalk - or the meatball sandwich with a roasted garlic and fresh basil marinara. Customers can also get coney dogs, a Frito pie made with house-made chili and served in a bag - "it's like summer camp," Blake said - or a falafel sandwich served up with Bella's Black Bean Hummus (a Summit County company), among other things.
Everything's house-made daily, and the duo tries to use as many local ingredients and producers as they can.
"All our passion's in all our food," Blake said. "It's not opening boxes ... it's got some home-cooked passion."
Blake previously worked as the head chef at Mi Casa Mexican Restaurant and Cantina, and before that, as the sous chef at Hearthstone Restaurant. Dickinson worked with Blake at Mi Casa after honing his skills at The Blue Spruce, Beaver Run and several restaurants in Vermont and Atlantic City, N.J. For both, it's a little different being the faces of the business (they're used to being solely in the kitchen, away from customers), but they're enjoying the face-to-face time they're getting working the register.
"When you're working in the back of the house, you don't really get to see the smile on (customers') faces," Dickinson said.
Currently, the eatery is open for lunch, dinner and late night (the bar crowd has been especially appreciative of the hours), but as soon as ski season gets going, it'll be open for some grab-and-go breakfast as well.
"It's great doing our own thing," Blake said. "It's a sense of achievement, opening something up."

In one section of the new Home Décor Learning Center in Concord, Jennifer Walsh, of San Ramon, is fluffing up a pouf. A mere pillow's throw across the 4,000-square-foot former warehouse, Lois DeMaria, of Walnut Creek, is hunched over an industrial-grade sewing machine, shaping new cushion covers for her patio furniture because squirrels attacked the old ones and ripped out all the stuffing.
Meanwhile, Linda Marquis, of Lafayette, has miles of bright yellow-and-white fabric stretched out on a massive work table, redoing the seat covers for her camper. As she measures and cuts, there's a birthday party group of five women nearby, reupholstering an ottoman, outlining large monograms on canvas wall-hangings and making "reverse batik" pillows with burlap and a bleach pen.
Amid all this activity, the center's owner, Rachel Myers, is everywhere at once. A tape measure always curled around her neck, she's guiding someone on upholstery techniques, showing someone else how to use a pneumatic staple gun.
Myers opened the learning center in September; so far, students have flocked through the door.
"People tell me they've been looking all over for something like this," she says, stapling floral fabric to an ottoman. "DIY is so big right now."
Indeed, there's a growing national movement toward -- or perhaps returning to -- designing, creating and building things oneself, evidenced in everything from the popular Maker Faire to instructional shows on the DIY Network.
A big part of the trend is having places to do the work. Few people have the tools or space to reupholster a large sofa at home. Hence, more multidisciplinary art spaces have been popping up, such as Myers' center, where all manner of tools and equipment are provided, and folks can take classes or buy memberships for open-studio time. In addition, they're developing community while they work.
"You can't undervalue the social aspect of it," says Catherine Cook, of Martinez, who is at work on some throw pillows for a friend. "You really learn from each other."
Making it happen
"We are indeed seeing an explosion of growth and expanded interests around DIY as a result of the maker movement," says Clay Lambert, manager of the TechShop open-access workshop that opened in 2006 in Menlo Park. TechShop quickly expanded to San Jose, San Francisco and several sites across the country, with classes in everything from welding and woodworking to sewing and leather crafts.
"DIY used to mean simply fixing or updating a small project on your own," he says. "Now, with greater access to tools, technology and training, it's about creating and innovating within a larger community."
Demand for such work spaces and classes has increased as public schools and adult-education programs have been trimmed back, says Ric Ambrose, director of the Richmond Art Center, which also offers a wide array of art and craft courses. "The fundamental quality of the arts, the creativity and experimentation, is mostly absent in the general curriculum of the elementary, secondary and, to a certain degree, higher education school systems," he says.
That's precisely why Myers opened her Home Décor center. She taught upholstery classes at Mt. Diablo adult education for years, but those were recently discontinued. "It was such a shame, a really popular program. People came from miles around," she says.
Soft-goods central
While Myers' center may be similarly structured to other multidisciplinary warehouse-style education facilities, hers may be the only one in the Bay Area dedicated solely to soft goods for home decor, with equipment such as button presses and long-arm quilting machines, bolts of fabric and rolls and rolls of things like interfacing and drapery buckram.
"You might say it's like The Crucible (the industrial arts complex in Oakland), but without the flames," she jokes, as she teaches Karen McHugh, of Walnut Creek -- the birthday girl -- about the proper way to stretch fabric over an ottoman McHugh has brought in for re-covering.
"When you apply fabric to any form, start in the center on each side and do the corners last," Myers says. "That's the A-1 rule in upholstery. It's all about controlling the fabric."
Students and studio workers here are mostly women, but men are drawn to the auto-upholstery classes, instructor Joanne Papini says. "We do let men in here," she adds, smiling.
Jennifer Walsh says she may have been the learning center's first student when it opened in the fall, quickly picking up new techniques for multiple projects. Since then, she has made poufs, pillows and a bulletin board, reupholstered a chair and even built a cushioned headboard for a California King bed.
"Once you learn to work with a pneumatic staple gun, you can just go crazy," she says.

For about the last two weeks operations at USA Fabrics have been at a standstill. The problem is that the roof at the plant leaks badly.
Fixing the roof could be costly. Because of the building's age, city officials say along with the roof, other features could also have to be fixed. Mayor Eddie Fulton says bringing the building up to standard could cost a million dollars or more.
'USA Fabrics cannot operate in the current building and repairs are so extensive that it's just not feasible,' says Fulton.
To address the problem the owner of USA Fabrics and the Clarke County Board of Supervisors are looking at ways to partner and move the plant to a metal building just yards away from the current site.
'They're asking the owner of USA Fabrics to come up with a plan to show he has the working capital to operate this plant and his willingness to move it,' says Mayor Fulton. 'If those things would happen, the board of supervisors would be more willing to build that building out and the walls up, things like that that have to be done in order to move it.'
Since opening ten years ago, Mayor Fulton says USA Fabrics has generated hundreds of thousands of dollars annually for the city. If it can remain open he says it could even generate more jobs.
'He's got country music stars right now who for every one of their concerts they'll buy 3,000 to 5,000 shirts and they'll do 8 concerts. You've got five of those. So, there's an extensive demand for them and we've got one of the biggest screen printers in the world who will come back and buy from us.'
This week an evaluation is being done to determine how much it would cost to move the plant into the new building. Once that information is available, Mayor Fulton says the owner of USA Fabrics is expected to present the estimate to supervisors.
USA Fabrics opened in Quitman in 2002. At its peak, more than 80 people worked there. Six months ago that number had dropped to 22.

During the First-Year Student Orientation sessions over the past years, Fr. Linnane commented that the participation in leadership by the male student body at Loyola University was extremely lacking, and he challenged each male student to make the most of their four years at Loyola. Our office has taken on this challenge to inspire men to become active leaders on campus with our annual Men's Leadership Conference. We hope this single-day conference will help invigorate the men at Loyola to become more involved by learning the strengths of leadership, understanding the deterrents of change, and discussing the issues facing male student leaders today.
The 2016 Fall Men's Leadership Conference will be on Saturday, November 12, 2016.
Please contact Geoff Norbert, Director of Student Engagement, at email@example.com or call our office at 410-617-5696 for more information.

Wingsuit flyer lands safely on water OCT 15 2013
(Just so I don't bury the lede too much here: THIS IS INSANE.) Wingsuit flyers keep upping the ante. For awhile, it was enough to glide at 100 mph a foot or two off the ground. Then they started flying through gaps between skyscrapers. And then through holes in mountains. Last year, Gary Connery landed safely in a pile of cardboard boxes without the use of a parachute. And now, watch as Raphael Dumont, straps on his wingsuit, climbs an Italian mountain, and LANDS SAFELY ON A LAKE WITHOUT A PARACHUTE.
Update: Rumblings on Twitter are indicating that this is fake. I WANT TO BELIEVE. (But that footage of the landing is shot on the world's shakiest camera for no reason so...)

By Paul Ulane Nov 13, 2012Everyone's gotta eat, so no matter who you are in the office - from CEO to unpaid intern - you usually wind up near the kitchen every afternoon. And that's when it happens: You're stuck in a small space with someone whose face you recognize from the hallway but you know nothing about. Next comes the inane chit-chat, as you both go about grabbing your sandwiches from the fridge or warming up your leftovers. Not many people enjoy these interactions, but pretty much everyone can identify with them, which is why we put together this Bingo chart full of just about every type of conversation that's ever taken place in the office kitchen. Check it out during your next lunch to see how many situations you can relate to.

Pope Francis' selection was stunning, yet not unexpected. His election signifies that the Holy See is seeking an evolutionary - not revolutionary - change to the Vatican's modus operandi and teachings.
My sense was that Pope Benedict's tenure would be short-lived, and that he was a transitory figure. Pope Francis' election vindicated that analysis.
The thinking was the Vatican's leaders realized during the 2005 conclave that Catholicism faced several internal and external problems mandating resolution.
The best means of addressing those issues was via a pope belonging to the church's traditional wing; having potential reformist leanings, yet who was unwilling to make groundbreaking changes; and would have a short-tenure, thus allowing the Vatican to assess the Holy See's various leaders for who could most efficiently utilize a gradual approach toward addressing the church's problems.
The initial thinking was Benedict possessed those attributes. He proved otherwise, yet his exit, while surprising, instigated a potential transition for the church.
Pope Francis, formerly Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Buenos Aries, and his papacy's implications for the Vatican's direction is noteworthy for several reasons:
• His selection was a geographical and theological first.
• He probably was to instigate an "evolutionary" change to the church.
• The new pope may pursue a different approach toward addressing the Vatican's social, economic and political positions, plus its bureaucratic issues.
Francis is the first pope from South America and the first outside of Europe since the 8th century. And he is the first pope belonging to the Jesuit Order.
The conclave's nod to Bergoglio is an acknowledgement of Catholicism's large non-European membership. It also acknowledges that perhaps unconventional thinking is vital toward resolving the church's issues, since the Jesuits are known for questioning the Holy See's positions and practices.
A probability exists that Pope Francis may be known as "The People's Pope." Cardinal Bergoglio chose a simple life as the archbishop of Buenos Aires. He lived in an apartment instead of the church's residence. Bergoglio also used public transportation when commuting to work. His example, his openness and unusual accessibility to the common man provide a strong idea of how his papacy may unfold.
Pope Francis may take a hard, yet amenable stance toward the various social, economic and political issues impacting the church's parishioners. He may maintain a strict doctrinal interpretation of the Vatican's traditional teachings yet furnish a degree of previously unthought-of practical, modern latitude.
For instance, one Catholic analyst suggested he might pursue the aforementioned approach toward condom usage. Francis may issue an encyclical (or papal interpretation of the church's teachings) noting the Holy See officially prohibits condoms, since those are viewed as potentially obstructing life's roots. It may also allow condoms if the intent is to prevent the spread of disease. The condom controversy is especially problematic among African Catholics. Many are victims of HIV and would not have been infected if the Vatican had allowed the use of condoms.
The above approach cannot be discounted, given the new pope's reputation for working with the impoverished, but also his strict adherence to the church's teachings.
A second potential message of Pope Francis' selection is that the church's leaders recognize the Vatican has some serious internal problems, the ongoing child sex abuse scandal being the most notable.
The new papacy will probably review each cleric's involvement in the former controversy. He will most likely reprimand, reduce an official's responsibilities or remove those clerics with the most serious offenses.
Cardinal Bergoglio was known for his straightforwardness, along with understanding and appreciating the needs of the impoverished. It will be very surprising if the new papacy fails to pursue those and similar measures.
Pope Francis will have to contend with several additional issues. These include the role of women and improving Catholicism's attraction, given a strong challenge and popularity by evangelists, especially throughout South America and Africa.
A third issue entails improving its relationship with the world's Islamic and Jewish communities, both of which were damaged during Pope Benedict's tenure.
The final major topic relates to the Vatican itself. The Holy See's bureaucracy - the Curia - is permeated with corruption, plus a banking system mandating better transparency. Francis will need to reform the Holy See's bureaucracy to ensure greater efficiency and accountability.
The next couple of weeks, months and years will probably be some of the most interesting in the Holy See's history. Some of the changes Pope Francis institutes will not resonate with many, while other reforms will surprise his critics and supporters.
The conclave's choice of Cardinal Bergoglio was commendable. It offers a strong hope for Catholicism's future and its parishioners.

I hope u all would have tasted this at the time of puberty.People usually make this with black urad dal with skin and palm jaggery(Karupatti in tamil) as it is supposed to be more healthy.In Tamil nadu, our grand mothers used to give this for the teen aged girls to make the bones strong especially Hip bones.When my paati gave this for me, i hesitated & cried a lot to eat this .But now i know its importance. Nowadays at this early age, we get pains in joints and back very often.We are not able to bend continuously for sometime.We get pain in spine.This shows the weakness of our bones.Urad dal helps to strengthen the bones.Apart from this urad dal has lots of other health benefits too.I have discussed them in kitchen clinic section.So its better to have urad dal in our regular diet to avoid all these problems.Apart from eating idli/dosa and vada, i feel this is also a good choice of including urad dal in our daily diet..So lets see how to make this ulundu kali/Urad dal kali at home.
- In a kadai ,roast the urad dal till golden yellow. Powder it in a mixie adding cardamom seeds. Store it in an air tight container.
- Now take 4 tbsp of urad dal powder in a bowl and mix 2 cups of water.
- Cook the urad dal for 7-8 mins. It thickens . Stir well for sometime and make sure there are no lumps formed.
- Now add the powdered jaggery and mix well . Keep the fire in low flame. Allow it to boil till the raw smell of jaggery emanates.
- Add the gingely oil and stir well.U'll get a glossy , sliding non sticky kali is ready to njoy ..
- If u use palm jaggery instead of jaggery , dissolve in water and make a syrup. Strain and use.
Urad, also referred to as the urad bean, urad, urid, black gram, black lentil or white lentil (Vigna mungo) is a bean grown in southern Asia. It is largely used to make dal from the whole or split, dehusked seeds. Black gram originated in India where it has been in cultivation from ancient times and is one of the most highly prized pulses of India. It has also been introduced to other tropical areas mainly by Indian immigrants.
The bean is boiled and eaten whole or after splitting into dal; prepared like this it has an unusual mucilaginous texture. Ground into flour or paste, it is also extensively used in culinary preparation like dosa, idli, vada, and papad.
It is very nutritious and is recommended for diabetics, as are other pulses. Though very beneficial in limited quantities excessive intake causes flatulence, which some sources claim can be prevented by adding a little asafoetida, pepper and ginger in the culinary preparations. It is very popular in Punjabi cuisine of India and Pakistan where it is known as "maanh".
The product sold as "black lentil" is usually the whole urad bean or urad dal. The product sold as "white lentil" is the same lentil with the black skin removed.
HEALTH BENEFITS & NUTRITIONBlack beans with a white center are sold as urad in many Indian groceries. As halved beans, they are called urad dal. Urad dal is available unhusked with its black seed coat and husked.
A one-cup of urad dal serving contains 189 calories, 13 grams of protein, 12 grams of fiber (about half a day's worth) and one gram of fat. Black gram requires only minimal soaking -- about half an hour -- before cooking, which takes another 30 to 40 minutes. In India, mung beans are the common man's meal. They're very popular and are eaten throughout India, from Kashmir to Tamilnadu in the south. Most popular South Indian dishes contain urad, e.g., Idli, Dosa, Uthappam, Vada etc.

ALBANY -- Lauren Jacobs took an interesting path to becoming queen. The Albany High School senior started out playing the clarinet in elementary school. A scheduling problem when she got to high school led to her taking choir. For two years, she was a lowly caroler, but now she's ready to assume her regal position. And you're invited to come celebrate.
Jacobs will be playing the role of queen at the annual Albany Madrigal Delights. The event will be held Dec. 6 to 8 at the Veteran's Memorial Building in Memorial Park. The Thursday and Friday shows will be at 7 p.m., with the Saturday matinee at 11 a.m. Tickets are $17 for Thursday and Friday ($12 students and seniors) and $15 on Saturday ($10 students and seniors).
The Renaissance-inspired event is a fundraiser for the Albany Music Fund, which provides for the music programs in Albany schools.
"As the queen, I'm the host of the event," Jacobs explained. "The idea of the Madrigal would be for jesters and choirs and noble lords and ladies to come to a banquet held by the king and the queen."
Mary Stocker, director of vocal music at Albany high and middle schools, said the event is "not just a performance or a concert, but it's dinner, a play and music. (There are) four courses. In between courses, different plays and different songs are performed."
Stocker said the Madrigal is produced and performed almost entirely by students, from the lights and sound, to the actors and musicians.
The Saturday performance will be the highlight for Jacobs, now president of the choir at Albany High.
"The matinee performance on Saturday is really tailored towards kids," she said. "We have a lot more activities for the kids. I personally get to interact with the crowd more. I take pictures with the kids, put crowns on their heads, call them princess. I'm looking forward to that."
Senior Barbara Deistra will be one of the ladies in the Madrigal.
"We invite our guests to come in," she said. "They sit down and get greeted by the king and queen. The middle class ladies come and serve them. We sing for them and tell them the rules of what they can and cannot do."
The rules help the guests understand how to properly behave at a royal dinner:
Junior Alex Caceres will play a sign-holder. Another boy named Alex will play another sign-holder and puns shall abound, he said.
"The Madrigal is a dinner with a full-on show," Caceres said. "There's lots of great energy. It's a festival of the middle ages with much food, many carols, many jokes and many wonders for people to look at and explore. Along with modern day comedy."
Caceres said he enjoys the camaraderie of the production. "Along with singing and gaining confidence with yourself, you also build relationships with everybody around you," he said. "I feel singing gives you a spiritual bond with the other people you sing with. The social bond is really good. It's really nice to show everyone that we work and that we can do really great things."

A new program will re-imburse churches and other religious groups for helping with the hurricane relief effort. News 12's Kate Tillotson is on your side with how FEMA is thanking you for your donations.
Jimmy Perkins and Bill Weir are leaving for Louisiana tomorrow. It'll cost them each roughly two hundred dollars, but they don't mind.
"I think this is the church's job and this is what we're all about is helping each other in a time of need and I don't think the government needs to come in and help us do that," Perkins explains.
But FEMA says it will step in and reimburse churches and other faith-based groups for providing food and supplies to hurricane victims. Warren Baptist church housed one hundred evacuees here at this shelter for two weeks.
"I don't know if we would be on a list, we're not looking to be on a list. We wouldn't be looking for any kind of reimbursement," David Fleming, Senior Pastor said.
And neither, says Pastor Bob Fuller, would he, citing his church members donated because they wanted to, not because they expected something in return.
"Frankly, I don't know that the church would accept a reimbursement because this is something that we do out of an act of faith and an act of gratitude," Pastor Fuller said.
The same act FEMA is now being criticized for, some accusing the department of violating the separation of church and state. While details of the plan have yet to be worked out, churches that ran shelters and medical centers at the government's request would be eligible. Especially in states like Louisiana and Mississippi.
"They're really digging into their reserves and their operating expenses to be able to do what they're needed to do," Senior Pastor Fleming said.
Doing what they're needed to do is what church-goers here say they've done all along.
"The people give out of their heart. They don't give expecting to receive," Faye Starnes, a Church-goer explains.

At the start of every New Year this column does a state of the nation assessment with predictions for the coming 12 months. This year, more than ever, such an exercise is relevant since we have just exited the IMF/EU bailout program and regained our economic sovereignty.
We are moving away from the most humiliating period we have been through since the foundation of the state. The shame of being unable to pay for the day to day running of the country without having to be rescued financially by the IMF and Europe is not something we are going to forget in a hurry.
The problem began back in 2008 as our boom turned to bust. The collapse of the property market meant we were in deep trouble. So much of our tax had come from property that when the bust happened the state's revenue collapsed as well.
Our budget deficit climbed as the cost of welfare for the unemployed soared. And cutting state spending enough to match our very reduced level of revenue seemed impossible without causing major social unrest.
The banks were an even bigger problem. They had lent so much on property they were insolvent, even if we did not realize it at the time when we gave them a blanket state guarantee at the end of 2008.
The black hole in the banks eventually became so huge that the state guarantee began to drag down the country. By the end of 2010 we were fast approaching the point where we would not be able to pay the teachers, doctors, police and everyone else on the state payroll, and welfare payments would dry up.
The international money markets realized the game was up and they stopped lending to us. The collapse of the state was about to happen.
So finally we dropped the pretense, and in November 2010 we took the IMF/EU bailout to keep us going until we could sort out the mess. We had no choice -- no one else would give us money.
The cutbacks and tax hikes had already begun in 2008, and they continued into the bailout program, getting more and more difficult each year. The bailout billions came with an austerity program to get our finances back in order, and austere it certainly has been.
By the end of 2013, under Troika guidance, we had managed to restore some order to the state's finances with the budget deficits coming down, and we exited the bailout program on time and on track at the end of December.
So we start 2014 once again in charge of our own finances, without the quarterly visits from the Troika to tell us what to do.
This has been presented as a major achievement by the present government, and it is something that gives people some satisfaction after all the financial pain we have been through.
But the truth is, as we have been pointing out here, this is only the beginning. We still have a mountain to climb.
Being out of the bailout means that once again we are completely reliant on borrowing from the markets to finance the state. And on that score, the start of 2014 has gone well for us with Ireland's first post-bailout bond sale last week raising €3.75 billion in the markets.
In fact the bond offering was more than three times oversubscribed, with offers totaling €14 billion coming in, which reflects how much our international reputation has recovered.
The icing on the cake last week for our Minister for Finance Michael Noonan was him being named European Finance Minister of the Year by the Financial Times magazine The Banker, which gave him the award for our bailout exit and successful re-entry into the bond market.
So is everything in the garden rosy for 2014 and the years ahead?
That's what you would think from the celebratory noises coming from the government last week, with some ministers even hinting that easing off on taxes might be possible soon. The reality is rather different.
For a start, it's a bit strange to be clapping ourselves on the back for being able to borrow more money on the markets again. An ability to cut spending and eliminate the budget deficit and thereby remove the need for more state borrowing, now that would really be something to celebrate. But we're still at least five years away from that.
The vague talk of tax cuts is inspired by the local and European elections that are coming up soon which are seen as a sort of mid-term test for the government. But it's only talk.
The truth is we can't afford to lower taxes and we can't afford to increase spending on services. Despite all the tax hikes and spending cuts over the past few years, we still had to borrow close to €1 billion a month in 2013 to keep the state ticking over.
In 2014, if we stick to the Troika plan, that should be down to €8 billion in borrowing for this year. But if we start easing taxes and increasing state spending that won't happen.
And if the markets see that we are slipping off the straight and narrow, they might well decide that we are becoming a risky bet again.

Play Goblins Cave
The object of Goblin's Cave is to obtain a winning symbol combination by spinning the reels.
Game Type
- Choose the value of the coins you wish to wager each round, by clicking on the + and – buttons on the left of the screen.
- Click Bet One or Max Bet to select the number of coins you wish to wager. Each click on the Bet One button wagers one more coin. Pressing Max Bet increases your bet amount to the maximum amount possible – that is five coins– and spins the reels automatically. Remember that your total bet is three times the bet on one row. You can see your remaining credit, the bet amounts and win amount on the machine left of the reels.
- Click Spin (if you did not press Bet Max) to spin the reels.
- After the reels stop, select the reels you want to hold, by clicking on the Hold buttons beneath them or on the reels themselves. Click on Spin again to spin the reels you did not hold.
- If any of the rows show a winning combination after they stop, you win according to the winning table. Click the Paytable button to see the paytable, if you wish. Flip the pages with Next/Back, and close the paytable with Close. You can also click the Paytable button again to close the paytable.
About the winning tables
The tables show a winning amount for every symbol combination that deserves a win. The payouts shown in the paytable are multiplied by the line bet. If you have multiple wins on one line (a rare, but possible event), then only the biggest win is accounted for. If you have winning combinations on multiple lines, they are all added up.
The red diamond with the word "Wild" written on it, is a wild symbol – meaning it stands for any other symbol, like a joker in card games.
Please note: There is a difference between the line bet and the total bet. The line bet shows how much you're betting on a single payline. The total bet shows how much you're spending in this game round. The payouts shown in the paytable are multiplied by the line bet, not by the total bet. If you
get winning combinations on more than one payline, the winnings for each payline are added up.
Bonus Game
Goblin's Cave contains a Bonus Game. To access the bonus game, you have to collect three lantern symbols on one row. If you get three lanterns on the first row and another three on the second, you get to play two bonus rounds, and the same goes for three.

Man wanted for non-fatal shooting surrenders to police
Published: Thursday, February 23, 2012 at 2:12 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 23, 2012 at 2:12 p.m.
A 24-year-old man accused of shooting another man in both of his legs turned himself into police Wednesday.
The wounded man was stable enough to speak to police on Saturday.
Kalonnie Everett, 24, 623 Poplar St., Thibodaux, went to the Thibodaux Police Station at about 8 p.m., and officers booked him with aggravated second degree battery.
He remains at the Lafourche Parish jail in lieu of a $150,000 bond.
Everett's brother, Carl Everett, 28, of the same address, is still wanted for simple battery.
Police believe a man got into a fight with Carl Everett either Friday night or early Saturday outside Hill's Lounge at 10th and Jackson streets when Kalonnie Everett shot the unnamed man twice, once in each leg.
Anyone who knows anything about the shooting or where Carl Everett is can call Thibodaux Police at 446-7279.

About the Book
"Fascinating....Loaded with perceptive and provocative comments on Shakespeare's plots, characters, and contemporary analogs."
—Justice John Paul Stevens, Supreme Court of the United States
"Kenji Yoshino is the face and the voice of the new civil rights."
—Barbara Ehrenreich, author of Nickled and Dimed
A Thousand Times More Fair is a highly inventive and provocative exploration of ethics and the law that uses the plays of William Shakespeare as a prism through which to view the nature of justice in our contemporary lives. Celebrated law professor and author Kenji Yoshino delves into ten of the most important works of the Immortal Bard of Avon, offering prescient and thought-provoking discussions of lawyers, property rights, vengeance (legal and otherwise), and restitution that have tremendous significance to the defining events of our times—from the O.J. Simpson trial to Abu Ghraib. Anyone fascinated by important legal and social issues—as well as fans of Shakespeare-centered bestsellers like Will in the World—will find A Thousand Times More Fair an exceptionally rewarding reading experience.
A provocative exploration of justice in our time through fresh readings of Shakespeare's greatest plays
Celebrated legal scholar Kenji Yoshino's first book, Covering, was acclaimed–from the New York Times Book Review to O, The Oprah Magazine to the American Lawyer–for its elegant prose, its good humor, and its brilliant insights into civil rights and discrimination law. Now, in A Thousand Times More Fair, Yoshino turns his attention to the broad question of what makes a fair and just society, and he delves deep into a surprising source to answer it: Shakespeare's greatest plays.
An enormously creative and provocative book, A Thousand Times More Fair addresses fundamental questions we ask about our world today: Why is the rule of law better than revenge? How much mercy should we show a wrongdoer? What does it mean to "prove" guilt or innocence? As Yoshino argues, a searching examination of Shakespeare's plays–and the many advocates, judges, criminals, and vigilantes who populate them–can elucidate some of the most troubling issues in contemporary life.
With a great ear for Shakespeare and an eye trained steadily on current affairs, Yoshino considers how competing models of judging presented in Measure for Measure resurfaced around the confirmation hearings for Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor; how the revenge cycle of Titus Andronicus illuminates the "war on terror" and our military engagements in Afghanistan and Iraq; how the white handkerchief in Othello and the black glove in the O. J. Simpson trial reflect forms of proof that overwhelm all other evidence; and how the spectacle of an omnipotent ruler voluntarily surrendering power in The Tempest, as Cincinnatus did before him and George Washington did after him, informs regime change in our own time.
A Thousand Times More Fair is an altogether original book about Shakespeare and the law, and an ideal starting point to explore the nature of a just society–and our own.
Educator and Librarian Resources
Critical Praise
"A sensitive and lively mind work[s] its way through the legal themes in some of the most beautiful passages in English literature." — New Republic
"[An] insightful inquiry into the contemporary relevance of the Bard's vision of justice. . . . A refreshing reminder that questions of justice may lead to dramatic poetry, not legal jargon." — Booklist (starred review)
"Readers will find Yoshino provocative, often controversial, and Shakespeare, as always, entertaining." — Publishers Weekly
"Neither a prosecutor nor a defense lawyer herein, Yoshino is a refreshingly engaging advocate for Shakespeare." — Newark Star Ledger
"[W]ell-informed by scholarship, nuanced and appealingly written. . . . [P]erhaps the most enlightening study of the subject to appear in a century." — Charlotte Observer
"In the enlightening and readable A Thousand Times More Fair, author Kenji Yoshino opens a window on Shakespearean dramaturgy and scholarship and lets in a breath of fresh air." — New York Journal of Books
"A remarkably imaginative and scholarly work. It reminds us that in Shakespeare's time, like our own, the law and ideas of justice were in flux." — California Lawyer
"Fascinating. . . . Loaded with perceptive and provocative comments on Shakespeare's plots, characters, and contemporary analogs." — Justice John Paul Stevens, Supreme Court of the United States
"Until Kenji Yoshino's book, I had found little of value in 'Law and Literature' studies. He redeems the mode. Shakespeare, most capacious of souls, is shown by Yoshino to illuminate the vast and complex structures that must inform the role of law in our struggle for a just society." — Harold Bloom, author of SHAKESPEARE: THE INVENTION OF THE HUMAN
"Kenji Yoshino brings to his lively reading of the plays the full force of his passionate brooding on issues of justice in contemporary society. A THOUSAND TIMES MORE FAIR will appeal to anyone interested in the uses of great art to reflect on some of our culture's most vexing problems." — Stephen Greenblatt, author of WILL IN THE WORLD
"Who knew that there was such a brilliant and fresh reading of Shakespeare waiting to be discovered? Only Kenji Yoshino, with a poet's ear for language and a lawyer's passion for justice, could have done it." — Carol Gilligan, University Professor, NYU
"The ingenious and well-argued premise of Kenji Yoshino's new book is that justice in a form that we can understand and relate to modern concepts of legal justice is a pervasive theme of Shakespearean drama. . . . Shakespeare, in law as in so much else, remains our contemporary." — Judge Richard A. Posner

The program will be presented by a distinguished veteran genealogist and member of the Association of Professional Genealogists, Lisa McKinney, of Edgewood.
In numerous speaking engagements this spring, McKinney has explained what information is available for family researchers in the 1940 census and methods and sources to most effectively find that information.
She is a former newspaper reporter and business editor who currently does freelance writing and editing and genealogical research for clients. She is an award-winning writer in the field of genealogy and as a fiction writer. She is a member of the Van Zandt County Genealogical Society where she works in the library, writes for society publications, and is the society's public relations officer.
As for all the regular monthly meetings of the Wood County
Genealogical Society, members will be available at the library from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. to help the public and other members with getting starting research of their ancestors and family tree or with research problems. A limited number of work stations will be available on a first-come, first-served basis to use the free library version of Ancestry.com. Personal wifi-enabled laptops may also be used.
A social Dutch-treat gathering of society members and guests is open to anyone interested in genealogy on each third Monday meeting day at 5 p.m. at Peralta's Mexican Food Restaurant in Quitman.
