text: An article in the New York Times on Monday, which focuses on the looming copyright termination period that will start in 2013, has stirred up wider attention to an issue and era that record labels and music publishers have had on their calendars for years. The end of the 1970′s into the 1980′s was a time when many now-classic albums were released, helping to bring about a surge in album sales at a time when it was much needed – that coupled with the advent of the CD, carried the industry to the end of the century on a high. The potential loss of copyright ownership to both master recordings and underlying compositions starting in less than two years from now, has the capability of delivering a serious blow to the already beleaguered labels. Today a follow up piece on the Times ArtsBeat blog featured a Q&A with Don Henley, discussing his efforts to inform artists of their rights to get back ownership of their works… The Los Angeles Times examined the possibility of an EMI merger with one of the other three major music groups over the weekend, making comment that regulatory hurdles might not be what they once were. The decade-long industry decline and the technology advances that have corresponded, can be seen as having lessened dominance by the major labels and more importantly decreased the power to dictate consumer pricing, as the article's sources mention. However, the ability to stifle technology in the form of new digital music services that need licenses from the labels should be considered… Elsewhere, Bruno Mars manager Brandon Creed has been hired as an A&R consultant for the reshaping Universal Republic and Island Def Jam Motown labels, reporting to label group CEO Barry Weiss… HTC made a large investment in Beats Electronics, the headphone company founded by Dr. Dre and Interscope Records ruler Jimmy Iovine, hopefully allowing the two more time to release Dre's long-awaited next album and focus on winemaking. Forbes reports that the deal could potentially make Dre one of hip-hop's richest… And is Turntable.fm more hype than hope? The number of unique visitors to the site in the month of July was reportedly just over 200,000 - not exactly game-changing, yet at least.

Former Sarasota schools administrator arrested
Published: Monday, May 20, 2013 at 1:22 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, May 20, 2013 at 1:22 p.m.
A former Sarasota County school administrator was arrested on a battery charge after he allegedly attacked his wife and then told her to clean their home, authorities said.
Click here to read the Manatee County Sheriff's Office arrest report of Harold Nelson
But Harold Nelson's attorney said he is innocent of any crime and the State Attorney's Office has not officially charged him.
"I really feel this is a man who has been an outstanding citizen," said Bradenton attorney Scarlett Guy. "This is not a reflection of who he is."
According to a Manatee County Sheriff's Office report:
The incident occurred April 16 as the couple argued in the den at their Bradenton home.
Nelson, 52, allegedly struck his wife twice in the head with the flat part of his hand and then punched her with his fist multiple times on her elbow.
When the woman screamed, Nelson vowed to "do more harm" and grabbed the back of the computer chair she sat in. Twice, he allegedly tilted the chair, so the front wheels were in the air, and threatened to drop her.
"The victim stated that she proceeded to get ready for work and clean the remainder of the residence, which she was instructed to do so by the suspect," the report said.
Nelson's wife left their home and went to work without any apparent injuries. She did not complain of pain stemming from the incident, the report said.
Hours later, at 12:40 a.m. on April 17, Nelson reported his wife missing, sheriff's spokesman Dave Bristow said.
The couple, who are parents to two teenage daughters, are going through a divorce, Guy said.
Guy said she was confident Nelson would be cleared of any charges, saying the sheriff's report was incomplete because there were other witnesses who saw what happened. She declined to specify further.
During his career in education, Nelson worked as an associate superintendent for Sarasota County schools.
In late 2008, Nelson, the second highest-ranking administrator at Sarasota County schools, accused the district of discrimination. Nelson, who is black, said he was excluded from district meetings, denied travel opportunities and told he could not hire a secretary, which prompted an independent investigation that eventually refuted his claims. Nelson lost his job with the district when his position was not renewed at the end of the 2009-10 school year.
Nelson's résumé also includes time as the district's director of middle schools and a 21-year stint in Hillsborough County as a teacher and administrator.
He was also tapped to be on a community group this year that selected the finalists for the Manatee County Schools superintendent job.
"He's done wonderful things for children, and the community," Guy said.

Ashley King works on a drafting exercise on technology in the classroom during Cathy Seguin's language arts class at Osborne Middle School on Thursday. The exercise is in preparation for the upcoming state writing assessment that all eighth-graders must take. Last year, Osborne Middle had the highest writing scores on the assessment.
LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- A majority of Michigan voters questioned in a recent poll oppose a proposal to combine the state's kindergarten through 12th grade budget with allocations for community colleges.
Sixty-eight percent of 600 people surveyed in the Lansing-based EPIC-MRA poll released Friday say they are against the proposal, while 14 percent say they favor it. Eighteen percent say they are undecided.
The poll was conducted Feb. 12 through Feb. 17 and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
Combining the revenue might make it easier to fund community colleges, but also could decrease per-pupil funding for K-12 students.
Seventy-four percent of those surveyed also say they oppose a proposal to combine higher education budget costs with kindergarten through 12 grade and community college costs.

Kristen Stewart has been dumped by Ben Affleck.
Well ... sort of.
Affleck's people confirmed to Entertainment Weekly that Affleck has dropped out of the film "Focus," in which he was to star opposite Stewart.
Somewhere, Robert Pattinson just let out an enormous sigh.
The story is about an experienced con artist who teaches a young female protegee the tricks of the trade ... and they probably have sex along the way, because most con artists don't look like Ben Affleck and Kristen Stewart.
This comes not long after Stewart announced her involvement in the film and sounded kind of excited ... you know, for Kristen Stewart.
Affleck's rep says he has to drop out due to scheduling conflicts. He has directing projects on his plate, including the thriller "Tell No One" and an adaptation of Dennis Lehane's "Live By Night.").
"Focus" is currently scheduled to begin filming in April. No word on who might replace Affleck.

- Central Eurasian Studies >> Courses >> Course List
- History of Xinjiang to 1911
- Gardner Bovingdon
The region today known as Xinjiang has had a tumultuous political history, often at the margin of other empires, sometimes itself the seat of empires, and sometimes parceled into warring statelets. It is geographically part of Central Asia, though it has also come under the political ambit of China. Peoples inhabiting the region have been animists, Zoroastrians, Nestorian Christians, Buddhists, and Muslims. Nomads and settled farmers, poets and philologists, Turkic warriors, Chinese monks, and Arab traders have lived in the region – and archeologists have recently unearthed there ancient mummies some consider European. This course will introduce Xinjiang's complex cultural, ethnic, religious, and geopolitical history from the first millennium BCE to the end of the Qing dynasty in 1911. We will consider the link between ecology and economy, the effects of Uyghur, Chinese, Mongol, and Manchu empire-building, the process and consequences of Islamicization, the abortive Jadidist movement, and the first stirrings of nationalism. We will give attention to the problem of sources and contemporary historiographic controversies.
Course Requirements:
Students are expected to attend all classes having done all the readings and prepared to discuss them. Final grades will combine class participation and a final research paper of approximately 20 pages for graduate students, 10 to 15 pages for undergraduates. The subject of the research paper should be arranged with the instructor. Grading will combine the research paper (66%) and class participation (33%).
Required texts:
- Kim, Ho-dong. 2004. Holy war in China: the Muslim rebellion and state in Chinese Central Asia, 1864-1877. Stanford: Stanford University Press.
- Perdue, Peter C. 2005. China Marches West: The Qing Conquest of Central Eurasia. Cambridge: Harvard University Press.
- Remaining readings on ERES or online.

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Winners of eight consecutive games, No. 7 Kentucky will host its final non-conference weekend of the regular-season, welcoming Michigan State for a three-game series, starting on Friday at 4 p.m. ET at Cliff Hagan Stadium. UK will face MSU on Saturday at 2 p.m. ET and conclude the series with the 2012 37-win Spartans on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.
All three games will be broadcast live on the UK IMG Radio Network, with Dick Gabriel voicing the action. Fans in Lexington can hear the Friday and Saturday games on WWTF 1580-AM and on Sunday on WLAP 630-AM, in addition to live coverage on UKathletics.com
The Wildcats will send the weekend rotation of sophomore southpaw A.J. Reed (2-1, 4.70 ERA) to the mound on Friday to face off with MSU senior right-hander Andrew Waszak (1-1, 2.50 ERA). On Saturday, senior lefty Jerad Grundy (3-0, 0.43 ERA) will face Spartans junior right-hander David Garner (2-0, 4.50 ERA) and on Sunday, junior left-hander Corey Littrell (1-0, 4.32 ERA) will face MSU sophomore right-hander Mick VanVoossen (0-0, 6.30 ERA).
A native of Terre Haute, Ind., Reed enters the start as the reigning national and Southeastern Conference Player of the Week, largely from his 15 RBI over a five-game span last week. Reed has made three starts on the mound in 2013, working 15.1 innings, allowing only two walks and striking out 11. In his last start, Reed, turned in a quality start vs. Akron. He worked six innings, allowing only six hits and two runs, walking two and striking out four. In his two-year UK career, Reed has made 19 appearances and eight starts, with a 7-4 record and a 3.00 ERA in 69 innings, walking only 11 and striking out 62. Waszak has made three starts for the Spartans in 2013, posting 18 innings and allowing only 13 hits and four walks, striking out 15. In his last start vs. Austin Peay, Waszak suffered his first loss of the year, allowing four hits and five runs – three earned – in six innings, walking two and striking out four.
Grundy enters his fourth start of the year as one of the top starters in college baseball, cruising through his first three outings with dominating efficiency. The 6-foot-1, 200-pound native of Johnsburg, Ill, has tossed 21 innings and allowed only nine hits and three walks, striking out 24. He opened his season not allowing an earned run in his first 12 innings and currently ranks second in the SEC in ERA and third in strikeouts and innings pitched. In his last start, Grundy had his best career outing, working eight shutout, two-hit innings. He retired 24 of the 26 hitters he faced, allowing only a pair of singles and no runners to reach second base. Grundy set a new career high with 12 strikeouts, including a stretch of seven consecutive strikeouts. Garner has made three weekend starts for the Spartans, tossing 18 innings, allowing 21 hits and four walks, striking out 16. In his last start vs. Austin Peay, Garner tossed seven shutout innings, allowing only five hits and one walk, striking out five in 99 pitches.
A native of Louisville, Ky., Littrell will be making his fourth start of the year, tossing 16.2 innings, allowing 18 hits and seven walks, striking out 15. In his last start vs. Akron, Littrell rebounded after a pair of rocky starts to open the campaign. He worked seven innings, allowing five hits and one run, not issuing a walk and striking out a career-high equaling eight. In his career, Littrell has a 16-8 record and a 4.45 ERA in 35 games and 32 starts, tossing 184 innings, allowing 61 walks and striking out 153. With 16 career wins, Littrell needs one win to move into a tie for 10th place on the UK career win list, which would equal him with Scott Downs (1995-97), Adam Shadburne (1993-96), Josh Paxton (1996-2000) and Scott Wade ( 2000-03). VanVoosen has started two games for MSU in 2013, tossing 10 innings, allowing eight hits and seven runs, walking seven and striking out 10. VanVoosen worked 5.2 innings in his last start vs. Austin Peay, allowing seven hits and four runs, walking four and striking out four on 99 pitches.
Kentucky has totaled a .325 average as a team with eight homers and 119 runs scored, stealing 24 bases and fielding .974. On the mound, UK has a 2.61 ERA in 107 innings, walking only 29 and striking out 93. UK, known for its stingy approach to allowing steals and homers from its pitching staff, has allowed only three steals in 2013 and five homers, with UK currently riding a 249 plate-appearance stretch without allowing a homer and a 235 plate-appearance streak without allowing a steal.
The Wildcats have been led offensively by junior second baseman J.T. Riddle, who has hit .440 with three doubles, one triple, one homer and 12 RBI in 12 games. Catcher Micheal Thomas has a .429 average with eight RBI and a pair of steals. Reed, a 6-foot-4, 245-pound left-handed hitter, has belted a conference-leading five homers and hit .426 with a double, triple and 23 RBI, adding a .809 slugging and a .526 on-base percentage. Third baseman Max Kuhn has hit .349 with four doubles, one triple and 14 RBI, owning a .508 on-base percentage courtesy of a 14-6 walk-strikeout ratio. All-America centerfielder Austin Cousino – the preseason Baseball America SEC Player of the Year – has a .300 average with three doubles, two homers and 10 RBI, stealing five bags. Paul McConkey owns a .286 average with two doubles, one triple and eight RBI, while senior outfielder Zac Zellers owns a .268 mark with a double and six RBI. Shortstop Matt Reida has hit .268 with two doubles and seven RBI, while Lucas Witt has a .237 average with a double, 10 RBI and five steals. Thomas Bernal has added a .308 average with two doubles and two RBI.
In the bullpen, Trevor Gott (2-0, 0.00 ERA) has appeared in five games with two saves in 6.1 innings, allowing only three hits and two walks, striking out nine. Chandler Shepherd (1-0, 2.92 ERA) has worked in five games in relief, with 12.1 innings, six walks and 11 strikeouts. Senior Walter Wijas (1-0, 0.00 ERA) has also appeared in five games, working 6.1 innings, allowing two unearned runs and two walks, striking out four. Freshman lefty Dylan Dwyer (0-0, 0.00 ERA) has appeared in four games, tossing six shutout innings without a walk, with freshman lefty Ryne Combs (0-0, 1.42 ERA) working in three games with one start.
Kentucky is in the midst of an eight-game winning streak, its longest since a school-record 22-game streak to open the 2012 season. During the eight-game stretch, UK has totaled a 1.62 ERA on the mound, with opponents holding a .298 slugging percentage and UK fielding .984.
Kentucky moved up a spot to No. 7 in the Collegiate Baseball top-30 poll on Monday, also advancing to No. 11 in the USA Today/ESPN Coaches Poll and No. 10 in the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association top-30. UK stayed at No. 11 in the Baseball America top-25 on Monday.
UK picked up a midweek win over Xavier on Wednesday, getting the fifth homer of the year from Reed and the first career win from freshman righty Kyle Cody, who worked five innings in his second career start. Over the weekend, UK swept Akron by a combined score of 37-4, including a 21-2 pounding in the series opener. Akron had opened its season with consecutive three-game series at No. 16 Georgia Tech and at No. 4 Louisville, with the Yellow Jackets owning an 18-6 aggregate total vs. the Zips and the Cardinals posting a 17-1 total score vs. Akron. Reed earned Louisville Slugger, SEC, National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association and CollegeBaseballInsider.com National Player of the Week honors after the sweep of Akron, where he hit .526 (10-for-19) with four homers and 15 RBI during the five-game week.
UK, which leads the NCAA in scoring per game, ranks throughout the SEC stats, checking in second in average (.325), second in slugging (.452), second in on-base percentage (.430), third in runs (119), fourth in hits (136), third in RBI (106), third in homers (eight), fourth in total bases (189) and third in steals (24). Individually, Riddle ranks fifth in average (.440), eighth in slugging (.600), sixth in on-base percentage (.508), fifth in runs (14) and fourth in hits (22).

Mal Moore there in spirit as successor named
Published: Saturday, March 23, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 22, 2013 at 11:50 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | Mal Moore couldn't be with his former teammate, Bill Battle, on Friday when UA held a news conference to announce Battle as Moore's replacement as University of Alabama director of athletics.
But as the man who not only recommended Battle as his successor, but encouraged him to accept the role, he might as well have been.
In fact, as Battle stood in the Mal M. Moore Athletic Facility to discuss his new role, it had been barely 48 hours since he stood in Moore's private room at Duke University Medical Center, where Moore is recovering from a pulmonary condition.
"I can tell you he's in good spirits. He looks like he's gone through the worst two-a-day practice he's ever gone through," Battle said. "... He's got the spirit that will prevail."
The UA board of trustees on Friday morning approved an initial salary of $620,000 for Battle, a four-year contract it described as "very similar" to Moore's.
Moore, who announced his retirement from his post on Wednesday, continues his recuperation at Duke, where he is receiving ongoing tests and treatment for a pulmonary condition. In addition to tests, Moore has been able to have some physical therapy, including walking, a source close to the Moore family said Thursday. Despite showing progress, Moore is expected to remain hospitalized in North Carolina for "several more days, at least" according to the source.
Moore was originally hospitalized in Birmingham on March 10 and was transferred to Duke University on March 14.
UA has announced Moore will serve as athletics director emeritus as well as a special assistant to UA President Judy Bonner when his health permits.
"As a consequence of his leadership, we have an athletics program that is second to none in every way. We are enourmously proud of our department of athletics," Bonner said. "I am looking forward to having Mal join me in the president's office when his health permits his return."
Bonner said discussions about Moore's eventual replacement, which included Moore, had been ongoing even before his latest health setback. Bonner said Moore provided "a good blueprint" for the skills and qualifications needed for the director of athletics role.
"Even though we lost a valuable statesman for the university in Mal Moore, he will continue to be with us as a part of the university, which we look forward to continuing with Mal," said UA football coach Nick Saban, who spoke on behalf of Alabama athletics coaches.

Our stance on this is obvious given the name of our magazine, but what is yours? Some of our authors prefer FOSS, others prefer open source, but what do you think and why? We all know the above terms can lead to confusion, but which is the least confusing. Can we sway popular opinion or should we give in to it? Is there some so far undiscovered term which will settle the disputes and make everyone go "Ah... now why didn't we think of that?"? Let us know what you think we should call it and why?
Why not both?
Open Source and Free Software are tags that you can apply to software packages. You could call them one way or the other according to circumstances: I use Free Software, because I'm an idealist. But what's wrong in calling it Open Source when promoting it to certain audiences? For example, I'm proposing legislation that'd force my city's government to switch to "Software Libre" (in Spanish, as I'm from Argentina). However, I frame the justification in Open Source speech, since I have to show that Libre is technically better regardless of my personal beliefs: I wouldn't force my religion on others, and it's the same with software... unless there are good reasons for someone else to use it (like the government's responsibility in producing its documents in an open format anybody can read without paying MS).
I regard both as contractions
I regard both as contractions of "Free-licensed open-source software". It's clear to me from the definitions offer for "free software" and "open source" software that they are conceptually the same thing. The emphasis of the terms are perhaps different, but both parties claim that the other term is implicit: for example, the FSD insists that code must be available for the software to be "free", while the OSD insists that without a free-license available source code is useless (perhaps even worse than useless as it may represent a legal hazard to have seen it!).
Thus there is no question in my mind that the choice of terminology for the product is irrelevant. I use one or the other depending on which matters more in the context of the sentence -- availability of code or the four freedoms. For example, if I'm talking about the particular benefits of being able to examine what you are using, I'll say "open source", but if I want to emphasize the lack of any limits on my use of it, I'll say "free software". I prefer to use the full expression "free-licensed open-source software" to remove all ambiguity when I am introducing the subject to a possibly unfamiliar audience.
As for the "movements", that may be a different matter. For one thing, it was a fiction created by Stallman and the FSF that there even exists a separate "open source movement" in the same sense as there is a "free software movement". From the beginning, "open source" was always identified with "free software", and was a marketing campaign and certification program, not a social movement.
Today, the term "open source movement" is informally applied to the much larger group of people advocating free-licensed open source software which the FSF expressly rejects as part of "their" "free software movement" on the basis that they do not all share their absolutist rejection of all other software as "unethical". This extremist position divides the community unnecessarily, and is an insult to the many supporters who the FSF ought to be thanking for their present much greater social prominence -- they would not have gotten this far on their own!
Basically, the "free software movement" is just the radical wing of the "open source movement" in this sense. Like many radicals and zealots, they give off the impression of hating their allies more than their enemies -- constantly railing against the "evils" of the "open source movement", while ignoring the need to work together in the face of much more serious common threats.
That's probably because the particular needs of a radical organization are served by polarization -- so the success of the open source movement, in the form of increasing mainstream acceptance of free licensing is actually threatening to them, because it dilutes the "purity" of their movement and removes the siege psychology that keeps them unified. Moderates therefore, are actually more of a threat to their continued existence than are actual enemies. But of course the public good is served more by the moderates who spread the ideas to many many more people.
So personally, I also like to make a point of using both terminologies more or less interchangeably in order to defeat the political impact of this false dichotomy.
Open source is more like a
Open source is more like a branchoff of the Free software movement. The Free software movement are the original guys.
Indeed Free software advocates like me are extermists(And I don't meant that in a bad way).
Indeed, the Free software movement give off the perceptions that they hate their allies more than their friends(which is not true).
Otherwise, who could explain that ESR and RMS are still good friends?
I see it the other way around
Open source is more like a branchoff of the Free software movement. The Free software movement are the original guys.
I know you are talking about the origins of the two (and you are correct) but I have always viewed Free Software to be a "branch" of Open Source.
What I mean is that Open Source covers a whole bunch of licences - which include various freedoms. Free Software covers a specific subset of this with specific freedoms built in.
I think I've said this before but Open Source is akin to trees and Free Software is akin to oaks. All trees are not oaks but all oaks are trees.
For this reason I tend to use the two terms depending on what I want to describe. When speaking generically of - shall we say - non-proprietary licences, I use Open Source. When speaking specifically of Free Software I use - er - Free Software. Having said that I often use FOSS as a covering term because I find this helps the listener/reader understand that I am including both.
Good points
Both Terry Hancock and alejandroz make good points -- especially Terry's "I like to make a point of using both terminologies interchangeably in order to defeat the political impact of this false dichotomy." I agree.
We had run into the same kind of political/philosopical hair-splitting when we finally ended up with the name Open Source Reporter for our publication (despite the fact that both principals in the endeavor -- developer Tod Landis and me, a journalist -- are both Free Software advocates and are both FSF associate members), especially since the name "Free Software Magazine" was already taken. While our first print version this fall may end up being called "Open Source and Free Software Reporter," our Web site is called "Open Source Reporter" (http://www.opensourcereporter.net) primarily and specifically because, to the public, "open source" defines much of what Free/Libre Open Source Software represents in the broadest terms, without forcing the nuances of what constitutes "free-as-in-freedom software" and "open-source-but-arguably-not-free software" to a public that may not care as much as FLOSS advocates do.
And, Terry, I don't think there's anything wrong with being "radical" in advocating free software, although I hope your point about railing against "open source" as opposed to working together is noted by others. This is a point that needs reinforcement, since many open-source folks are "not the enemy."

Open Source Reporter
On this one I think FOSS
I reckon FOSS is the way to go. It should make both camps happy. Why they fight over the name is beyond me. Surely the free software camp can agree that the term open source isn't incorrect (even if it's not correct enough); and the open source camp can certainly agree that it is indeed free software no matter what version of free you're talking about.
FOSS, as a one syllable acronym, is easy to say and it doesn't sound bad either. People are going to ask you what open source software is; they are going to ask you what free software is (or they are going to assume you mean free as in no cost); and they are going to ask you what FOSS means too. So, if you are going to have to explain it anyway, you may as well use the term that will beg the question "What is it?".
I don't think this magazine could possibly change its name at this point without suffering massively. And I think it probably benefits from the name free software because it would lure in google searchers who are searching for "[insert some software type] free software" and have no idea what open source is nor the full meaning of the term "free software". These people would then have the opportunity of being exposed to FOSS. I've noticed that while, FSM seems to only allow use of the term "open source" when comparing terms or explaining the different terms, they seem to let FOSS slip through. While FOSS sounds good as a word FOSS Magazine sounds very strange.
I don't think it's too late for us all to use a new term. FOSS is a collective term that covers both models, both names and both ideologies. Why not start making it the one term to cover all bases.
Open source
I say open source. FOSS is too long. Free software gets people confused with freeware. But open source, they get.
Andrew Min
My thoughts exactly. Free software should mean free as in beer, while open source means, well, open source. ;)
Case in point: "Free Software Magazine" gives me the (not entirely wrong) impression that the authors are focusing on "free as in beer" software as well as open source - most of which is "free" anyway.
All in all, people should stop worrying about names, and concentrate on the underlying concept.

California hunters are hoping for the arrival of stormy and wet winter weather, which will hopefully result in more typical waterfowl distribution in the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys.
"We've got tons of ducks in the Sacramento Valley," says Virginia Getz, manager of conservation programs at DU's Western Regional Office in Rancho Cordova, California, "but there's been a real redistribution of birds to the east side of the valley."
The region is in the third year of significant drought, and rice fields on the west side of the valley, usually completely flooded, are now largely dry. Many areas that received water early in the fall have long since gone dry, and ducks and geese have shifted closer to the Sierras, where water and flooded rice fields are more abundant on the landscape.
Getz reports last week's bit of wind, rain, and then freezing weather got the birds up and moving, benefiting hunters in areas where waterfowl are distributed. In the north, the private clubs in Butte Sink and to a lesser degree public areas have had good shooting, but farther south along the west side of the valley, bird numbers have been spotty in many areas.
Habitat conditions and hunting success have been even more variable from the Grasslands at Merced south to the Salton Sea, says Derek Mynear, DU's regional biologist in southern California and Arizona.
This region's bread-and-butter birds, green-winged teal, aren't due for another week or two (if in fact they decide to move out of the Sacramento Valley), but he said there have been more divers showing up on the Salton Sea, where up to half of the state's ruddy ducks will winter.
While the recent unusual freeze helped move a few birds around, both Getz and Mynear have their fingers crossed for the onset of typical wet winter weather.
"We're just not seeing it yet," Getz says.
Meanwhile, to the north, a very hard freeze seems to have moved a lot of birds out of the Pacific Northwest, which Getz says may account for the influx of waterfowl in her region.
The freeze hit hard in eastern Washington and Oregon and Idaho, forcing ducks and geese to either move south or concentrate on big water.

Image Source: Stephanie Sinclair/VIIAged 8, Rawan was sold by her parents, and forced into a marriage with a man five times her age. The injuries her young body sustained from her "wedding night" resulted in her death, and her story has sent shockwaves throughout the world.1
The most shocking thing about Rawan's story? The fact that to many, her story is not shocking at all. Forced Child Marriage is a form of modern slavery, and in Yemen, there is no law which makes it illegal.
The Yemeni Government has the power to bring an end to Forced Marriage forever; the first step is to ban the marriage of anyone under the age of 18, protecting children from a life of domestic and sexual slavery.
We know that ending Forced Marriage everywhere poses big obstacles and yet, in the aftermath of Rawan's death, and with the eyes of the world on Yemen, this may be one of few fleeting moments when we can create change. We're not going to let down the millions of girls vulnerable to this form of modern slavery.
Dear President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi,Forced Child Marriage is modern slavery and needs to be stopped.Please take the first step by passing a law banning the marriage of anyone under the age of 18, protecting Yemeni children from a life of domestic and sexual slavery.

The number of students across the country who speak English as a second language grows every year, so teachers must include language lessons in the regular curriculum. Sounds like a challenge, but English-speaking students are learning more as well. In a special assignment, News 12 is on your side with how a bilingual education is leaving no nino left behind.
These kindergarteners are learning to read. And they're learning another language, which one depends on who you ask.
"A little bit of Spanish," said Jazmyn.
English-speakers like Jazmyn are picking up Spanish. But Darla is way past hola.
"What language do your mom and dad talk in?" News 12 asked.
"Spanish and English," Darla said.
Darla and six others in this class are learning English as a second language. Some came here not knowing a word of English.
Teacher Margaret Sidney didn't know one word of Spanish in 2000.
"I barely knew gracias," Sidney said.
Only two kids in her school, J.D. Leaver Elementary, spoke Spanish then, but she decided to learn the language to be a better teacher.
"I just felt like this was something I needed to do to prepare for the future and it was just like looking into a crystal ball because the day has come when this is extremely necessary," Sidney said.
Five years later the school has 30 Spanish-speaking kids, all the kindergarteners are in Ms. Sidney's class.
The class is bilingual and the English-speaking students are learning Spanish.
"The young children are right there ripe for this. They could learn 3 or 4 languages if I had the ability to teach them," Sidney said.
A third of the kids in Ms. Sidney's class are Spanish-speaking, but there's hundreds in Aiken County and the need for bilingual teachers is growing.
300 students in Aiken County schools speak English as a second language, and the district has only 12 bilingual teachers. Volunteers like Patricia Cruz fill in the gaps.
"Right now there's 25, 30 kids in this school, but before long there's going to be a whole lot more," Cruz said.
Cruz, who grew up in an Hispanic household, says the number of Spanish-speaking kids is growing because more jobs are here for their parents.
"It used to be that the men just came, but now they're bringing their wives and they're having kids here," Cruz said.
But Cruz believes the increasing number of Spanish-speaking kids will be an asset to Aiken County. The county's growing number of bilingual students will fill important jobs. Assistant Superintendent Frank Roberson thinks they'll bring some as well.
"Certainly is an incentive for business to locate here," Roberson said.
"It just gives me hope everyday that I can do it. I can inspire the desire in the children to keep going, keep working, that they can do it regardless of the barriers," Sidney said.
A community growing stronger and even more determined that no nino will be left behind.

A dragstrip could be coming to Augusta as early as next year. News 12 is on your side to explain what the city is doing to control the noise it will bring.
Folks living on Mike Padgett Highway are used to the sound of loud logging trucks. But now they may soon be saying hello to another noisy neighbor.
"I don't like the idea at all, the noise factor is big. I don't like that," said Ann Smith.
For months, there's been talk of building a dragstrip in South Augusta and it's been accompanied with concerns about the abundance of noise it would generate.
"If the noise is too much I'd have to move. I'd have to find another place to live and to be able to sleep," said Paul Henthorn.
Tuesday, Commissioner Jimmy Smith said the city needs to come up with a detailed noise ordinance. Thursday, the city attorney did just that.
This new ordinance states that if a dragstrip is built, all races would have to be ended by 11pm every night except for Saturday, lasting until 11:59p.m. On Sunday, races could not start before 2:30 p.m. keeping in mind churches in the area.
And folks here in South Augusta really value their peace and quiet so much that this church was even told to stop playing their chimes through the megaphone, so you can imagine the idea of a dragstrip right down the road would leave some people upset.
Ann Smith attends this church, right by the proposed site. She says the ordinance is good, but it still will be disruptive to the church's other activities.
"We do have things on Saturday and Sunday, and sometimes during the day and I think that would not be good for us," Smith said.
So the noise is one more factor that commissioners will consider as the race for a dragway continues.
The ordinance also states that anyone racing on the dragstrip after the set hours would be subject to up to one thousand dollars in fines or up to 60 days in jail.

Top Five Quotes From the Sunday Talk Shows
The government shutdown and the coming fight over the U.S. Treasury Department's ability to borrow were the main focus of the Sunday talk shows. Below are some of the key points made by today's talkers, including Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew, who appeared on four shows.
1. "We've never gotten to the point where the United States government has operated without the ability to borrow. It's very dangerous. It's reckless, because the reality is, there are no good choices if we run out of borrowing capacity and we run out of cash. It will mean that the United States, for the first time since 1789, would be not paying its bills, hurting the full faith and credit, because of a political decision," Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew, speaking on CNN's State of the Union about what will happen if Congress doesn't raise the so-called debt limit.
2. "We're not going to pass a clean debt limit increase…. We're not going down that path. It is time to deal with America's problems. How can you raise the debt limit and do nothing about the underlying problem? … My goal here is to have a serious conversation about those things that are driving the deficit and driving the debt up. And the president's refusal to sit down and have a conversation about this is putting our nation at risk of default." House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio), speaking on ABC's This Week.
3. "The fact that you are seeing so many nasty partisan jabs from Democrats … I think is indicative of the fact that we're winning the argument. Obamacare isn't working," Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Fla.), speaking on CNN's State of the Union
4. "I am absolutely committed to John Boehner," Rep. Peter King (R., N.Y.), on Fox News Sunday, when asked whether he would consider a vote to strip Mr. Boehner of his Speaker title if he doesn't win concessions from Democrats in exchange for passing government spending bills.
5. "If you look at the cases where the debt limit was involved, there were many other things attached to the debt limit, but the question of threatening to cause a default of the United States, not until 2011 did it become a positive agenda," Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew, on Fox News Sunday, reiterating why President Barack Obama won't negotiate over the debt limit and wants to pass a clean bill raising the statutory borrowing limit.

So I just got a PS3 and decided to connect to it using PMS. It worked GREAT without any problems
But I never had to use any paswords to connect the PC and the PS3. So I was wondering, what if my neighbour has a PS3, and he searches for media servers, couldn't he find mine and connect to my computer right away? without being asked for a password?
My WiFi doesn't have a password, so maybe thats why it was so easy to connect?
I guess what I am wondering is how PMS works. How is it that my PS3 was able to connect to my computer as easy as it did. I don't want my neighbours being able to connect D:
Anyway, hope someone can help, i feel like I am asking a very noobish question.

Education offices would change
Published: Wednesday, May 8, 2013 at 7:26 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 8, 2013 at 7:26 p.m.
The House narrowly agreed to reorganize the Louisiana Department of Education.
Superintendent of Education John White is pushing the measure (House Bill 650), which would restructure offices and job titles in his department.
Supporters said the changes would offer more support to local districts. Critics said the restructuring would create fewer individual budget units, making it more difficult to account for specific spending in the agency.
The House voted 56-39 for the bill, which heads next to the Senate. It needed 53 votes to pass.
Here is how Houma-Thibodaux area representatives voted:
For: Gordy Dove, R-Houma; Truck Gisclair, D-Larose; Dee Richard, a Thibodaux independent; and Lenar Whitney, R-Houma.
Against: Joe Harrison, R-Napoleonville.

Man injured in shooting outside Taco Bell on Spartanburg's west side
Published: Monday, February 25, 2013 at 2:49 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 25, 2013 at 2:49 p.m.
The Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office is investigating a shooting reported in the parking lot of Taco Bell on Warren H. Abernathy Highway.
Photo Galleries
Lt. Tony Ivey said deputies were called to the restaurant at 2:13 p.m. Monday after a 911 call from the store. They arrived to find a man unconscious in a silver Chevrolet Impala in the parking lot.
Ivey said the man was shot at least once. The man was taken to Spartanburg Regional Medical Center by EMS, with a deputy following behind the ambulance with blue lights and siren on.
"Right now, we don't know the severity of his injuries," Ivey said.
A Chrysler 300, possibly silver or champagne colored, was seen leaving the parking lot around the time of the shooting, but right now, investigators don't know if the car is connected to the shooting, Ivey said.
Westview Fairforest Fire Department responded to the scene, along with the numerous deputies, investigators and the sheriff's office crime scene unit.
Gloved investigators looked through the Impala and shot photos of the interior. Deputies roped off the back portion of the Taco Bell parking lot near the drive-thru, but the restaurant appeared to remain open.
Cars slowed down at the sight of blue lights as they came through the busy intersection at Warren H. Abernathy Highway and Franklin Avenue, near Interstate 26 and WestGate Mall. Deputies blocked off Franklin Avenue.
A shooting during the day in a major shopping area of Spartanburg like the one reported is rare, Ivey said.
"This is a very busy area," he said. "To have something like this happen here is very unusual."
Anyone with information about the shooting may call CrimeStoppers at 1-888-CRIMESC.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Friday, Dec. 7, 2012
COLUMBIA, S.C. -- It was a bond hearing that sent shockwaves throughout the region. Accused cop-killer Joshua Tremaine Jones cussed and growled at a magistrate judge at his hearing inside the Aiken County Detention Center a couple months shy of a year ago.
Jones convulsed as Associate Chief Magistrate Judge Donna Williamson presided over the hearing. When she asked if he would need a public defender, he responded "What do you think, G** d*****!" Click here to see raw video from the hearing.
Now, News 12 joins professor Ken Gaines at the University of South Carolina School of Law to ask him what he thinks as a former criminal defense attorney.
"The defendant was obviously disturbed in some way. That's what it looked like," Gaines said.
Just last week, several more smaller charges were tacked on in Aiken County, including failure to stop for police lights, unlawful carrying of a pistol, larceny and possession of a weapon during a violent crime.
On Jan. 27 of this year, a resident contacted the Aiken Department of Public Safety in reference to a suspicious vehicle at Eustis Park around 7:30 a.m. Chief Charles Barranco said Officer Sandy Rogers arrived on scene, an altercation ensued and she was shot. She was then was transported to Aiken Regional Medical Centers, where she died from her injuries. Rogers was a 27-year veteran of law enforcement.
Richmond County is also pursuing two murder charges for Jones after he allegedly killed his girlfriend, 21-year-old Cayce Vice, who was 5 months pregnant. Only a couple hours later, he allegedly shot and killed Rogers in Aiken.
But will the mental antics Jones displayed in the bond hearing make a difference in the trial?
"The courts are going to have to determine, whatever mental problem there is, to what extent it's going to interfere with the judicial process," Gaines said.
Last week, the Aiken County Solicitor's Office announced it's seeking the death penalty for Stephon Carter, the other accused cop-killer, who allegedly shot and killed Public Safety Officer Scott Richardson about a month before Rogers died in the line of duty.
But will they seek death for Jones?
South Carolina Code says the death penalty can be recommended for certain aggravated circumstance. In this case, Gaines says, the circumstances include someone who allegedly kills multiple people or allegedly murders a law enforcement officer.
However, certain factors (mitigating circumstances) could block death, including if the "defendant had mental retardation at the time of the crime."
"Our Supreme Court has said that even if you plead guilty but mentally ill, you can still get the death penalty," Gaines said.
In January, after the bond hearing, James Jones, the father of Joshua, told News 12 his son has suffered from mental problems in the past. Jones said his son stabbed him when he was 16 years old. He said last year, between July and August, Jones shot himself in the head. He says his son was treated at Aiken Regional Medical Center and then moved for further treatment at Aurora Pavilion Behavioral Health Services.
"It's got to be the work of Satan. It's a spirit world that is way beyond us," he said, after watching his son's behavior during the bond hearing.
Ultimately, Gaines says the defendant's mental state will be something a jury considers after it's determined whether Jones can stand trial or not.
"I would assume that the state could request that their experts examine him, so both sides will get a chance to present evidence as to what his mental condition is," Gaines told News 12.
Recently, Jones has also been charged for bad behavior at the Aiken County Detention Center.
In early July, Cpt. Nick Gallam, the jail administrator, told News 12 Jones yanked a deputy's arm through the food hole on the door of his maximum security cell, which caused the deputy minor cuts.
The next day, Jones allegedly assaulted three other deputies. When they got Jones under control, Gallam says Jones spit on the three officers.

SANTA CLARA -- With some new European flavor and the same old fighting spirit, the Earthquakes will kick off the Major League Soccer season Saturday against Real Salt Lake.
Goalkeeper Jon Busch already has his customary shiner. The enigmatic Bash Brothers Alan Gordon and Steven Lenhart, along with Busch and former MVP Chris Wondolowski are looking to recapture the form of 2012, when the Quakes scored a franchise-record 72 goals.
"There's a lot of optimism," said Busch, who got his black eye diving into a goal post this preseason. "We know that the first step is getting into the playoffs. That's a must for us this year, but we have bigger plans than that."
Coach Mark Watson, who took over from Frank Yallop at midseason and guided the team to within a game of the playoffs, said: "We had a great group ending the season. We kept most of the team, and the changes have made us better."
Quakes general manager John Doyle has been busy since the offseason rebuilding around the team's core. That includes European imports -- midfielder Jean-Baptiste Pierazzi, a Corsican from AC Ajaccio in France; Andreas Gorlitz, a German right back; and speedy 140-pound winger Yannick Djalo, on loan from Benfica-Portugal.
In a demanding opening stretch, the Quakes are playing four games over 12 days. After hosting Real Salt Lake, the 2013 MLS Cup runner-up, they'll travel to Toluca, Mexico, (elevation 8,700 feet) on Wednesday to complete the CONCACAF home-and-home quarterfinals that began Tuesday. Then they play at MLS Cup champion Sporting Kansas City on March 22.
A former Quakes assistant, Watson guided San Jose to an 11-5-3 record last season. The Quakes missed the playoffs in a tiebreaker.
San Jose's never-say-die "Goonies" persona, drawn from the 1980s kids movie "The Goonies," lives on.
In a dramatic 1-1 draw against Toluca, Gordon scored in the 95th minute off a Shea Salinas free kick.
"It's the same old Quakes. We battle to the end," Busch said.
Quakes fans know better than to leave early. Tuesday's draw showed the team's newcomers what to expect.
"It was awesome," said right back Brandon Barklage, who started for the New York Red Bulls in 2013. "The blood was boiling the entire game, and Gordo stepped up at the right time. That's what those three 'Goonies' do up top. They step up at the right times."
"I'd seen that 'Goonie magic' before," said rookie JJ Koval, a first-round draft pick from Stanford, "but it was cool to be on the field and be a part of it."
Koval is surrounded by veteran midfielders Sam Cronin and Pierazzi.
The back four, the fulcrum of the team in 2013, again boasts U.S. national team mainstay Clarence Goodson and Honduran Victor Bernardez in the center, with support from veteran Jason Hernandez.
Englishman Jordan Stewart returns as an attack-minded left back, like predecessor Justin Morrow, who was traded to Toronto FC for allocation money. Barklage and Gorlitz are vying for the spot vacated by Steven Beitashour, traded to Vancouver for allocation money.
The midfield got a bit of a shake-up as speedy Marvin Chavez was dealt to Colorado for Atiba Harris, and Rafael Baca signed with Mexico's Cruz Azul. The relentless Salinas, with his deft free kicks, and Cordell Cato had strong season debuts against Toluca out wide.
Last year's scoring dropped off to 35 goals in MLS, but the Quakes lived by their defense and gumption. Gordon said they've been working on adding versatility to the attack.
Barklage described his role as pretty similar to that of Beitashour's.
"I like to get up and down the flank," he said. "My No. 1 priority is to do things on the defensive side of the ball, and do what I can going forward and supplying the service that Wondo and Lenny and Gordo like to have. They're starving for service, and that's something that I'm looking forward to doing this year."
The Quakes compete in the top-heavy Western Conference, with five playoff spots available among nine teams. Busch said it's exciting having a "dogfight" in every game as conference opponents keep adding quality players.
He doesn't seem concerned about other teams spending more money.
"Just because you have deeper pockets doesn't mean it always works out," Busch said. "It's a fine balance you have to have in that locker room. Sometimes, if you spend more money, things don't stay even-keel in that locker room, so there's no single formula that's right in this league."
Cronin, voted team MVP last season for his role as the connecting link from the defense to the attack, thinks improved depth will be a plus.
"It's good that we have healthy numbers in there," he said. "We have good competition. It's important to have competition at every spot. We didn't necessarily have that at every position on the field last year. We do this year."

November 2, 2005
The two men arrested for killing Ashley Smith's husband were just told their trial will be pushed back to at least January. It was supposed to start next Monday.
Mac Smith died in 2001, but police had a tough time at first because of a lack of evidence. Police say Ashley's encounter with Brian Nichols, the suspect in March's Atlanta courthouse shooting, may have opened this case back up.
Ashley Smith's family has stuck by her side ever since husband Mac Smith died in 2001 during a fight in an apartment complex near Baston Road. Grandmother Ann Machovec says Ashley and her husband went to an apartment that night to dispute a rumor that he was working with police to bust drug users.
"They sat on her so she couldn't move and turned her head in the direction of what they were doing to Mac, making her look at it," Ann said.
"She begged him not to go, but he went anyway," said Mary Jo Croft, Ashley's mother.
Barry Tabor was arrested and later released because police still had too many unanswered questions.
"That started her plummet down into a dark place after Mac died," said Kim Rogers, Ashley's aunt.
Cory Coggins and Barry Tabor were picked up in June for murder, and are now in the Columbia County Detention Center. Captain Steve Morris says the Brian Nichols hostage situation opened this case back up.
"I don't think there's any doubt that because of the renewed interest, we received tips and info that lead to the indictment," Morris said.
Mac enjoyed home improvement projects, and he built the family's back porch several years ago. This is something he left behind for them to remember him by, especially for his daughter who was only two at the time.
"She asked for a long time, where's my daddy? And we would tell her, daddy's gone to heaven," Rogers said.
"She jumped in the truck, put his head in her arms, and he died in her arms," Ann Machovec said.
Her family says, in a strange twist of fate, being held hostage has helped her push past the grief she felt after the loss of her husband.
The trial was pushed back so defense attorneys could review the file. When it does get started, it's expected to last a week.

When the U.S. Supreme Court hears arguments Tuesday in the challenge to California's Proposition 8 and Wednesday in the challenge to the federal Defense of Marriage Act, there will be key actors to watch during arguments. Here is a breakdown of the main players in the legal drama:
Theodore Olson
A former U.S. solicitor general during President George W. Bush's administration, Olson will argue on behalf of two same-sex couples who have sued to overturn California's ban on same-sex marriage. A leading conservative and Republican who has become a vocal advocate for gay marriage, Olson is not only leading the arguments because of his vast experience arguing at the high court but also because his political pedigree won't go unnoticed among justices such as Anthony Kennedy, John Roberts and Samuel Alito.
Charles Cooper
Cooper, a former top Justice Department official during the Reagan administration who runs in the same conservative Beltway legal circles as Olson, will argue for ProtectMarriage.com, backers of Proposition 8. Cooper has had bumpy rides arguing in the lower courts but no doubt is hoping he'll get a more receptive audience from the Supreme Court's conservative wing.
Donald Verrilli
The current U.S. Solicitor General, Verrilli will be President Barack Obama's voice in the Supreme Court in both Tuesday's and Wednesday's arguments, providing the administration's position that the California and federal gay marriage bans are unconstitutional. Solicitor General since 2011, Verrilli can only hope he gets better reviews than he did last year in arguments defending the president's health care law, when he was panned for his performance even though the court later ruled on his side.
Paul Clement
Another former solicitor general under President George W. Bush, Clement will argue in support of the Defense of Marriage Act, representing House Republicans who are defending the law now that the Obama administration considers it unconstitutional. Clement squared off against Verrilli in the health care cases, representing states that challenged the law.
Roberta Kaplan
Kaplan will carry the lowest profile of the lawyers arguing the cases, but will no doubt play a crucial role, representing Edith Windsor, the New York woman whose denial of estate benefits from her spouse prompted a federal appeals court to find the Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional.
Justice Anthony Kennedy
From the beginning of the legal battle over gay marriage, Kennedy has been considered the must-have vote for the Supreme Court to side with same-sex couples. His every word will be scrutinized during arguments, both because he's at the court's center and because he penned the court's two most recent decisions in favor of gay rights.
Chief Justice John Roberts
A staunch conservative, Roberts generally is considered a skeptical vote on gay marriage. But ever since he formed the majority in last year's decision upholding the president's health care law, riling conservatives, it has prompted speculation he could be unpredictable on same-sex marriage. So his tea leaves will be watched, as well.

Sites like movie2k.com allows to watch a large collection of movies online. Since many of the movies are store at divx hosters they can be streamed to the renderer without the need of downloading first or transcoding.
I have implemented a basic plugin for that. Is anyone interessted in such a plugin?
It works for me but is still running in debug mode in my IDE. I can package the code and upload it, but is still some work:
- only one provider is supported right now (easy to enhance)
- only divx hosters are supported right now and only some robot tests are worked around.
- only basic thumbnail support
- no renderer specifc supprt and configs yet
- no search functionality yet
