Vt. fire dept. loses equipment fighting fire
Firefighters became trapped behind wall of fire
A Vermont fire department is hoping its insurance company will pay to replace equipment lost fighting a blaze that heavily damaged a downtown St. Johnsbury building.
Fire Chief Troy Ruggles says firefighters had to abandon hoses, tools and one of its four thermal imaging cameras when they had to flee the 1879 Building on Railroad Street during the Dec. 23 blaze after they were trapped by a wall of fire.
Ruggles told the town select board the thermal camera was the most expensive item lost. It cost about $10,000 new.
The Caledonian Record reports it's not clear yet whether the gutted structure will have to be torn down or whether it can be saved.

Obama Orders New Efficiency Standards for Trucks
President Barack Obama plans to announce Tuesday that his administration will issue new fuel efficiency standards for trucks, the White House said.
The initiative directs the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Transportation to implement stricter standards for medium and heavy-duty vehicles by March 2016. It marks the next phase in fuel efficiency and greenhouse gas standards for trucks that the administration previously enacted.
Mr. Obama first said in his State of the Union address last month that he would establish the new standards.
He is set to make the formal announcement Tuesday at a Safeway distribution center in Upper Marlboro, Md., the White House said. The event is intended to showcase Mr. Obama's executive authority at a time when he's struggling to pass initiatives through Congress.

Habitat for Humanity needs local volunteers to get involved.
Valdosta was chosen to host this year's Jimmy Carter Work Project because of the community's commitment to end poverty housing in the area.
The event is a chance to show off that commitment by the number of local volunteers who decide to hammer away along with President Carter and his wife.
"Getting the local volunteers involved in Valdosta, in this community is very important to show that Valdosta does support this project and we want anybody, everybody to come out," said Heather Able, Volunteer Coordinator.
Because of the magnitude of the project, volunteers will now have to register in advance and pay a fee participate in the June 6 through 13 build.
"We have two options available for local volunteers, one is registering for that whole week, which is $50 and the second option is to register by the day, which is $20," said Gwendolyn Scott, Valdosta-Lowndes Habitat.
Almost 2,000 people from around the world will come to Valdosta to build 25 houses that week. But Habitat wants to make sure that there will be plenty of local volunteers to take part in this once in a lifetime opportunity.
If you would like to volunteer for the Jimmy Carter Work Project, you can register on line atwww.valdostahabitat.org.

Jacques Laudy was one of the original artists of Tintin magazine, together with Hergé and Edgar P. Jacobs. Born in Schaerbeek as the son of painter Jean Laudy, he studied fine arts Brussels in the early 1920s. During this period, he met his future colleagues Jacques van Melkebeke and Edgar P. Jacobs.
In 1940, Laudy made his first appearance in Bravo! magazine, illustrating covers and tales, and making comic series like 'Bimelabom et Chibiche' and 'Gust le Flibustier'. He also introduced Edgar Jacobs to Bravo! and so was part in this grandmaster's comics debut. Jacobs would later model Francis Blake from his comic series 'Blake et Mortimer' after Laudy. In addition, Laudy created 'Buonamico' in Grand Coeur, and contributed to ABC and Petit Monde.
In 1946, he was involved in the launch of the Belgian edition of the magazine Tintin. For the magazine's early issues, he illustrated stories like 'Les Quatre Fils Aymon' and 'Rob Roy' and in 1948, he started his series 'Hassan et Kadour' from scripts by Jacques van Melkebeke.
In 1952, Laudy interrupted this series to make 'David Balfour', a comic scripted by Yves Duval and based on the work of Robert Louis Stevenson, as well as a couple of short stories. Laudy was also present in Petits Belges with 'L'Histoire comique de Charles Quint et autres contes' (1953-58) and also new stories with 'Hassan et Kadour' (1960-62). In 1962, he quit comics to devote all his time to painting. In 1991, he was named Knight in the Ordre of Leopold, and then Baron, by King Baudoin I. In 1993, he published a book about Edgar P. Jacobs. Jacques Laudy died that same year.

Medicines in Development
Explore the Latest Progress on Medicines in Development
Each patient battling with a disease or managing a condition lives in the hope that tomorrow will bring a new medicine that delivers better health. America's biopharmaceutical research companies share the same goal of developing new medicines that can prevent diseases, improve patients' health, and save lives. Beyond each individual patient, new drugs can help society overall by reducing sick days and helping cut the cost of healthcare.
The economic impact of new medications and adherence could be significant. For example, one study found that annual costs for diabetes care could drop as much as 48 percent for patients who take their diabetes medicines properly. With 24 million people with diabetes in the U.S., and only one-quarter of them controlling the disease, the savings could add up quickly as millions of Americans improved their health.
Since 2000, more than 500 new medicines have been approved by the FDA, helping patients live longer, healthier lives. Medications are transforming many cancers into treatable conditions, reducing the impact of cardiovascular disease, offering new options for patients with hard-to‐treat diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, and fighting even the rarest conditions.
Featured Report
Rare Diseases
The National Institutes of Health estimates that there are approximately 7,000 rare diseases affecting 30 million Americans. In the past, treatment options for such conditions have been nonexistent or limited, but since the passage of the Orphan Drug Act of 1983, more than 500 medicines have been approved to treat rare diseases. These include the first treatments for Crohn's disease and Lou Gehrig's disease (also called ALS) and five treatments for pulmonary hypertension.
There are more than five million Americans living with Alzheimer's today. For patients with Alzheimer's and other dementia, America's biopharmaceutical research companies are developing medicines to bring us closer to our goal of tackling and eventually conquering this debilitating disease.
Arthritis is part of a group of related musculoskeletal diseases consisting of more than 100 different conditions that affect more than 52 million people in the United States. Prevalence of musculoskeletal diseases could increase to 67 million by 2030 if current trends continue. America's biopharmaceutical research companies are currently developing 92 medicines to help the millions of Americans affected by arthritis. All of the medicines are either in clinical trials or awaiting review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Asthma is a narrowing of the airways to the lungs caused by inflammation in the air passages, resulting from both genetic and environmental influences. Today, more than 24 million American adults and children suffer from asthma, with the prevalence increasing 12 percent in the last decade, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Each day, 40,000 Americans miss school or work due to asthma, costing the U.S. economy an estimated $56 billion each year in direct and indirect costs.
Biotechnology and Biologics
Millions of people already have benefited from medicines and vaccines developed through biotechnology. America's biopharmaceutical research companies are using biological processes to develop 907 medicines and vaccines targeting more than 100 diseases—including 352 for cancer, 188 for infectious diseases, 69 for autoimmune diseases, and 39 for AIDS/HIV and related conditions. Biologics are made from a variety of natural sources—human, animal or microorganisms. Like small-molecule drugs, some biologics are intended to treat diseases and medical conditions. Other biologics are used to prevent or diagnose disease. These medicines represent the next exciting frontier of biopharmaceutical research.

America's biopharmaceutical companies are researching 316 medicines to help meet the unique health care needs of children and adolescents. Considerable progress in the fight against diseases that impact children has been achieved in recent decades, with medicines playing a key role
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive lower respiratory disease that encompasses two main conditions–chronic bronchitis and emphysema. The condition is characterized by obstructed airflow to the lungs that interferes with normal breathing. For the more than 13 million American adults that suffer from COPD, hope lies ahead as biopharmaceutical companies are working on 54 medicines to treat the disease.
Diabetes affects nearly 26 million Americans—8.3 percent of the U.S. population—and about one-quarter are unaware they have the disease. A diagnosis and appropriate medication can help patients avoid serious complications and death, and can reduce overall healthcare spending. There are currently 180 medicines in the pipeline to treat diabetes and related conditions, either in clinical trials or awaiting approval from the FDA. These medicines represent an exciting new chapter in the ongoing quest to better treat this debilitating disease.
Heart Disease and Stroke
According to the American Heart Association, someone in the United States dies from cardiovascular disease every 40 seconds, and more than 85 million Americans have at least one form of the disease. Heart disease has been the leading cause of death in the United States since 1921, but these numbers are declining, thanks in large part to new medicines. America's biopharmaceutical research companies are developing 190 medicines for heart disease and stroke.
Since the approval of anti‐retroviral treatments (ART) in 1995, the AIDS death rate has dropped by more than 80 percent. Testing for the disease also has advanced dramatically, enabling earlier treatment. Instead of being a death sentence, HIV is now often a manageable chronic disease. Biopharmaceutical research companies are developing 44 medicines and vaccines, focusing on improved treatment regimens, more effective therapies and promising new preventative solutions.

Infectious Diseases
Throughout history, infectious diseases have taken a devastating toll on the lives and well-being of people around the world. Today, America's biopharmaceutical research companies are developing 394 new medicines to help fight the continuing threat from infectious diseases.
Leukemia and Lymphoma
Each year more than 162,000 Americans are diagnosed with a blood cancer—accounting for more than 9 percent of all new cancer diagnoses. The major types of blood cancer include leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma. Biopharmaceutical research companies are developing 247 medicines targeting leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma and other cancers of the blood.
Mental Health
Neurological Disorders
Neurological disorders—such as epilepsy, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease—inflict great pain and suffering on patients and their families, and every year costs the U.S. economy billions of dollars. Biopharmaceutical research companies are developing 444 new medicines to prevent and treat neurological disorders.

New Drug Approvals
In 2013 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved 34 new medicines, 27 of which were approved by the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) and seven by the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER). Among the drugs approved were eight medicines to treat cancer, including the first treatments for the first two medicines approved with "Breakthrough Therapy" designation, the first antibody-drug conjugate approved for breast cancer, and two for melanoma.
Older Americans
With the population of Americans over 65 on the rise and life expectancy climbing, chronic diseases remain a principal threat to the health and productivity of older Americans, as well as to rising health care costs. Innovative medicines have led to major advances against many chronic diseases – and the robust discovery pipeline of new medicines portends continued progress for seniors and our health care system. America's biopharmaceutical research companies are developing 435 new medicines that target 15 leading chronic conditions affecting seniors.
Nearly 54 million adults in the United States have either osteoporosis or low bone density, according to the National Osteoporosis Foundation. Today, biopharmaceutical research companies are developing nine medicines for the treatment of osteoporosis, all of which are in clinical trials or undergoing regulatory review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Parkinson's Disease
America's biopharmaceutical research companies are currently developing 37 medicines to help the estimated 1.5 million Americans living with Parkinson's disease, a motor system disorder resulting from the loss of dopamine-producing brain cells. All of the medicines are either in clinical trials or awaiting review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Skin Diseases
America's biopharmaceutical research companies currently are developing 277 medicines to help the more than 100 million Americans, one third of the U.S. population, that suffer from at least one skin disease. Skin diseases, ranging from acne to psoriasis and from melanoma to infections, are more common than most people know and they come with not only a medical but also a financial burden.
For many years, vaccines have been used to successfully prevent devastating infectious diseases such as smallpox, measles and polio. America's biopharmaceutical companies are currently developing 250 vaccines to prevent – and in some cases treat – a variety of conditions, including infectious diseases, various forms of cancer and neurological disorders.

HAYWARD -- With only a few obstacles still to settle, a 619-megawatt power plant near the Hayward shoreline that was bitterly opposed by many residents is scheduled to go online in June.
Still unresolved is an agreement between Calpine and the Hayward Area Recreation and Park District, which has shoreline trails and an interpretive center less than 1½ miles from the plant. The power plant is in an industrial area that lies just east of wetlands and marshes teeming with migratory waterfowl.
As part of the Russell City Energy Center's license, Calpine was required to pay the park district for trailside improvements.
The park district's board has twice tabled a vote on an agreement in which Calpine would pay $77,500 for benches, markers, view scopes, staff time and displays, said John Gouveia, district general manager.
"The board said they weren't comfortable entering into an agreement until they saw the effects of lighting from the plant on wildlife," he said. The shoreline is home to threatened and endangered species, including the nocturnal salt marsh harvest mouse.
Calpine is asking the California Energy Commission, which regulates power plants, to allow Calpine to end talks with the park district, said Joe Ronan, Calpine senior vice president.
"We negotiated for about three years," Ronan said. "We finally said they're never going to agree. We've offered them what they requested."
Calpine maintains that its state license required it to negotiate only trail improvements and did not cover lighting. The park district has filed an objection to Calpine's request to end negotiations.
"The park district's letter of protest talks about other issues, which were decided by other agencies, but HARD continues to raise other concerns," Ronan said.
Audrey LePell, past president of Citizens Against Pollution, which fought the power plant, said her organization is grateful to the park district for its position. "There are a lot of citizens in Hayward who have been against the power plant and still don't support it," she said.
At meetings during the plant's permit process, many residents spoke out against what they called an eyesore and polluter. Calpine says Russell City will be cleaner than coal plants and gas plants that use older technology.
Gouveia said the park district board also wants to learn about possible effects of pending Federal Aviation Administration regulations regarding power plant thermal plumes.
An FAA-commissioned study concluded in November that the plumes can cause turbulence hazards for airplanes. The FAA is meeting with aviation representatives Tuesday before issuing any regulations.
Gouveia said planes may be required to change their approaches into the Hayward and Oakland airports, taking them close to shoreline trails. "There are unanswered questions, and the board wasn't comfortable with that," he said.
Ronan said questions about the plant's plumes and airplanes were thoroughly reviewed, and the issue was settled five years ago as part of the plant's licensing.
"This was resolved. Planes aren't flying over the plant, and we've been there two years," he said. "Flight patterns were taken care of in the license."
He said any FAA regulations on plumes would not affect the power plant's license. The power plant is not in the direct flight path of the Hayward airport.
California Pilots Association president Andrew Wilson III disagrees, saying that under certain circumstances, such as missed approaches or extra traffic, air traffic patterns are changed and could include Russell City.
"The FAA ruling could affect both air traffic flying under visual flight rules and instrument flight rules," he said.
The plant, which will generate electricity to power 600,000 homes, sits on a 19-acre site at 3862 Depot Road. It will use reclaimed water from Hayward's wastewater treatment plant to cool two gas-powered turbines and convert the water into steam to power a third turbine.
Calpine has asked to extend testing of the turbines from three months to four before it would be subject to air quality guidelines. Ronan said the request was for technical reasons only.
"The turbines have to meet air quality standards. We'd violate our air permits otherwise," he said.
The plant, which created 650 construction jobs, was supported by trade unions.
The City Council also did not oppose the plant. San Jose had just lost a similar fight over the Metcalf Energy Center, said Jesus Armas, who was city manager in 2002 when the project was first being considered.
"It was made clear to us whether or not we opposed it, the decision on the power plant rested solely with the California Energy Commission," he said.
The city negotiated with Calpine, which agreed to donate $15 million to help build a new library. After Calpine filed for bankruptcy in 2005, that was reduced to $10 million.
LePell said the city's decision to not actively oppose the plant in exchange for the library funds was one of the most divisive ones the council has ever made.
"For many people, that was not a fair trade," she said.

Someone please enlighten me; I'm at my wit's end.
I have a lot of ripped .MOV files on my HDD that I want to play through PS3 Media Server. All files are the exact same: .MOV h.264/AC3 saved from .MKV via Quicktime Pro. For some reason that I can't explain, the video is performing perfectly, but there's no audio. When I go to Audio Settings on the PS3, it tells me that "there is no audio." I have no idea why this is happening and I'm out of options in the settings pane of PS3MS.
For the record, .MKV and .AVI are working fine. .MP4 works when forced to transcode with Mencoder. Mencoder is the only transcode option on my XMB.
PLEASE HELP!!! Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

A roughly 17,500-square-foot, three-story office building is set to rise at the corner of San Antonio Road and First Street in Los Altos despite concerns about its "shoebox on a shoebox" design.
The Los Altos City Council voted 3-1, with Councilwoman Jan Pepper opposed, to approve the project at 467 First St. on Tuesday. Councilman Jarrett Fishpaw did not participate in the decision because he owns property near the site.
The office building would replace a burger joint, a pet-grooming shop and a lot formerly occupied by a Chevron gas station.
In a discussion that lasted more than three hours, the council struggled with the architecture of the Ken Hayes-designed project. Councilwoman Jeannie Bruins likened it to stacked shoeboxes.
"I'm not asking for the building heights to be reduced, but I would definitely prefer if there was some way to architecturally soften this or break up the bulk and mass," Bruins said.
To that end, the council told Hayes to swap the wood railing at the top of the building on the San Antonio Road side of the project for one made of glass. They also called for a wooden overhang on that side to be moved up six inches to make the first floor appear more open.
Mayor Pro Tem Jan Pepper, meanwhile, wanted to put off a decision on the project to give Hayes time to create new drawings.
"I don't think we're ready," Pepper said.
Feedback from residents who attended the meeting was mixed. Phoebe Bressack, an architect and a member of the city's Planning and Transportation Commission, was one who welcomed the modern design.
"I, as a member of the same profession, am delighted to see a building that is built rationally and handsomely, that I think will add great value to the town," said Bressack, adding that she was speaking for herself, not the commission. "I believe that it's forward thinking."
But Los Altos resident Louise Burton urged the council to kill the project, saying it was too massive and would set an undesirable precedent.
"Why are we allowing this?" Burton asked. "Most people moved here because Los Altos was quaint -- different from Mountain View, different from Palo Alto. Do we want to be these cities? We are unique in this valley and proud of it. Please stop the madness. Tell them we're done with ruining our city."
Property owner Eric Corrigan chaffed at the negative responses to the project, which he said was seven years in the making.
"We believe that we're good custodians of the downtown and have always strived to be so," Corrigan said. "I don't want something to appear in this town that is an eyesore, that doesn't fit in."
Several council members noted that the project was compliant with the underlying zoning, which was changed a few years ago in the hopes of increasing the number of people in the downtown area.
"What we have today right now are rules and regulations that encourage this specific building that we are seeing before us," said Mayor Megan Satterlee.
"When we put rules in place and we tell the developer and property owner to invest their money and come up with a plan that meets those rules and objectives, then I think to change the rules is not appropriate."

Children's Vaccines Health Center
Are Kindergarten Kids Getting Their Vaccines?
Aug. 23, 2012 -- Most kindergartners are up to date with their vaccines, but federal immunization goals nevertheless remain unmet, the CDC says.
According to a CDC report, the average number of kids who have been vaccinated for measles, mumps, and rubella is 94.8%. Health officials have set their target at greater than 95%.
"Coverage is not the way it should be," says Jaime Deville, MD. Deville is a professor of pediatric infectious diseases at UCLA's Mattel Children's Hospital. He reviewed the report for WebMD.
"This report really confirms what's already well known," he says.
The report's authors point out that vaccine rates vary significantly from state to state. The five states that are doing the best job of vaccinating kids against measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) are:
- Texas 99.3%
- Mississippi 99.2%
- Nebraska 99%
- Maryland 98.7%
- Louisiana 98.1%
The five states that need the most improvement when it comes to MMR vaccines are:
- Colorado 86.8%
- Pennsylvania 86.9%
- Kansas 88.2%
- Idaho 89.2%
- North Dakota 90.6%
Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Other Vaccines
The report also tallies vaccine numbers for tetanus, diphtheria, acellular pertussis (whooping cough), polio, hepatitis B, and varicella (chickenpox).
Forty seven states, the District of Columbia, and five other areas reported their vaccine numbers. The city of Houston submitted its own figures, which were the highest reported, at 99.5% for MMR. Figures for Wyoming, New Hampshire, and New Jersey were not available.
California, the state where Deville teaches and practices, met the 95% goal for only two of the vaccines: chickenpox and hepatitis B.
"Our coverage is really not ideal," says Deville. He says the number of children in his state who were granted exemptions from vaccines for medical, religious, or philosophical reasons is too high for comfort.
"We see there are 12,000 out of the half million kindergarten age kids here," says Deville. "That's a sizable percentage that right off the bat won't be vaccinated."

SAN RAMON -- In a $250 million deal, the owners of Bishop Ranch Business Park said Wednesday they have teamed up with a big insurer to buy the cavernous AT&T headquarters in San Ramon and create a modern office campus to attract an influx of tech companies and their workers to the East Bay city.
Sunset Development, the primary builder of Bishop Ranch, and insurance company MetLife have joined forces to buy the 1.8-million-square-foot AT&T regional headquarters, which is larger than most major shopping centers such as Stoneridge Mall in Pleasanton and Westfield Valley Fair mall in San Jose.
"We are going to completely renovate this building from a shell, and we will create a modern office campus that will have everything an employer can offer at one of the big campuses in Silicon Valley or office buildings in San Francisco," said Ed Hagopian, an executive vice president with Sunset.
The AT&T complex is located near a proposed retail and residential city center that would serve as San Ramon's downtown and include a 500-unit housing development and a 500,000-square-foot retail, dining and entertainment complex.
"We are creating the urbanization of a suburban community, much like what is happening in north San Jose," Hagopian said. "We will create a live-work environment. People could live near the new office campus and walk or ride bicycles to work; they could step outside their door to go shopping or to a restaurant."
The newly renovated space could be offered for as little as half the rental costs for prime office space in Silicon Valley and its San Francisco hub, according to commercial real estate agents familiar with the tech leasing market.
"With that amount of space available at the AT&T site, you would think there will be some companies from Silicon Valley, from San Francisco, that will want to be at Bishop Ranch," said Jeffrey Weil, an executive vice president with Colliers International, a commercial realty firm. "San Ramon, Pleasanton and Concord have big welcome signs out for tenants."
Bishop Ranch already has had some success in attracting high-profile tech firms, including a key software operation for General Electric Technologies.
"There is a shortage of space in Silicon Valley and in San Francisco, but we will have a half million square feet on the shelf ready to go and we will be able to deliver that space by the end of this year," Hagopian said.
AT&T will continue to occupy roughly 900,000 square feet of the office complex, which is divided into four wings in the shape of a cross. Each of those wings could be marketed to a single user or a few large users. AT&T would remain in two of the four wings, but might eventually depart entirely as more wings are gutted and redeveloped as modern offices.
"The City Center project is very much a game-changer for San Ramon, and the AT&T center is important as well," City Manager Greg Rogers said. "If they can bring in more companies, more well-paying jobs, more people living our community who have good jobs, that will help the local economy."
Since 2012, Bishop Ranch has been on a winning streak in landing high-profile tenants that leased large blocks of space. Besides GE Technologies renting 233,000 square feet, PG&E leased 400,000 square feet, Bank of the West rented 400,000 square feet and Robert Half leased 233,000 square feet.
"If Bishop Ranch gets wind of any large users they will go after them in a big way," Weil said.

Do Investors Benefit from Selective Access to Management?

This paper examines whether selective access to corporate managers allows investors to revise their beliefs and execute profitable trades. We examine whether investors benefit from two potential opportunities for selective access at invitation-only investor conferences: one-on-one meetings with managers throughout the day and breakout sessions with managers after the webcast presentation. We find significant increases in trade sizes during the hours when firms provide offline access to investors, consistent with selective access providing investors with information that they perceive to be valuable enough to trade upon. We also find significant potential trading gains concentrated primarily in three-day horizons after the conference for firms providing formal offline access, suggesting that selective access can lead to profitable trading opportunities. Our evidence suggests that selective access to management conveys benefits to certain investors even in the post-Reg FD period.

Here's another blow to the James Brown Soul of America Music Festival planned for Memorial Day weekend.
James Brown's business manager David Cannon issued a press release saying Mr. Brown will only perform at the festival if the expenses are covered for him and his band.
That's a cost of $25,000.
"As the festival is charging for tickets, we don't see any reason why the organizers can't at least cover expenses for getting Mr. Brown and his band here to perform."
According to Mr. Cannon, event organizer Charles "Champ" Walker, Jr. refuses to cover any costs and is threatening to take legal action if Mr. Brown doesn't appear.
Cannon says that this unprofessional attitude leaves a bad taste and feeling around an event that is supposed to celebrate the achievements of one of Augusta's finest.
Champ Walker says that according to Brown's attorney, Buddy Dallas, Mr. Brown made a mistake by saying that he would perform for free.
Walker says they never agreed to pay for the band, partly because of what it would cost and because it's something Brown's people never mentioned.
And there's yet another part to this music festival tale.
If you want to play--you have to pay.
Bands who want to play at the Soul Of America Music Festival have to shell out up to $600 in non-refundable registration fees.
So whether the band is picked or not, artists will not see their money again.
Musicians are also responsible for their own lodging and travel arrangements.

A bouncy Alumni Blues > LTJP > Alumni Blues sandwich followed. Extremely fun (as always), Page sounds extremely good in this Alumni. Great flow in the setlist so far.
Take the 'A' Train is next. I have only heard this song a couple of times so I don't have much to compare it to, but this version is very tight and interesting. Each band member plays a solo at times, even Fish (wish we could hear that in 3.0!), before returning to the original theme, making for a really cool jam. Mike shakes the building (and my room) during the Split Open and Melt intro and a tight rendition follows. Mikes voice is very loud during the choruses, it sounds sort of weird. The Lizards brings us back to Gamehendge for a super cool rendition. Like Esther, I love whenever they play this song. Trey nails the solos!
Golgi Apparatus is next. Tons of energy, extremely well played. Recent Golgi's can't even compare to old school ones like these. The high energy of Golgi carries over seamlessly into Good Times Bad Times. Perfect placement for this song, and they tear through this. Trey is on fire, showing off (in a good way). Rock and roll. Page also sounds extremely good on his vocal parts. Great ending to the set.
Unfortunately I don't have the second set. But the first set had extremely tight playing all the way through, but not too much jamming.
Highlights: YEM, 'A' Train, GTBT

- Kenya: I have been trying to keep up with the news from Kenya, where violence has continued since the disputed election. Occasional Mumpsimus contributor Njihia Mbitiru let me know that he and his family in Nairobi are well, but he said there is plenty of chaos. The Kwani? Blog has been publishing a series of opinion pieces, all worth reading.
- The Road by Cormac McCarthy: A friend gave me his copy of this book, forcing me to read it at last. The arguments that were made by some people about whether it's science fiction, or whether McCarthy should have steeped himself in genre writing before setting out to create his own book, or whatever -- all these arguments felt irrelevant to me as I read the book. Perhaps even more than irrelevant: they seem to me to completely miss the point. (But what's the point? Maybe points...) The book's ancestry is closer to Faulkner and Beckett than The Long Tomorrow or A Canticle for Liebowitz. The only thing that disappointed me about the book was its deus ex machina ending, which is what, I expect, made it catch Oprah's eye, but which seemed to me to be an easy way out of the circumstances McCarthy had set up. That, though, is subject I don't have time to really develop here...
- The Oscars: I was disappointed I'm Not There didn't get more nominations, but on the other hand, I'm glad, because if the Academy had shown similar taste to my own, I'd be terrified that I was becoming much too predictable in my affections. (Except now I'm terrified I'm becoming much too predictable in my affections by liking movies such as I'm Not There...)
- Lars and the Real Girl: I saw this movie with a couple of friends. We all thought it was amusing, but also agreed it would have had more substance if it had been more willing to delve into the darker areas of its story. It could easily get a G rating, despite the presence of a sex doll. It's a Hallmark Hall of Fame story about generosity, love, community, and tolerance ... and it happens to have a central character who thinks his anatomically-correct toy is a real person.
- I loved Alan DeNiro's thoughtful review of The New Space Opera, because it expressed eloquently and insightfully exactly my feelings about so many things, particularly the often-missed possibilities of contemporary science fiction.

In re: THE ROAD. I read it last year, the only book by Macarthy I've read, and yes, the ending is a bit of a deus ex machina. If he'd been more rigorous, more willing to stick to the reality he'd created, the ending would have been very different. That being said, I thought it a powerful book, one that has stayed in my mind for a long time, and it's not unusual as I walk down nearly deserted early morning overcast New York streets for me to imagine myself in THE ROAD's grim world.ReplyDelete
The very last paragraphs did bring tears to my eyes, something no other book has done.

The divine triune structure of Silent Stillness giving rise to Sound (the Word or Holy Spirit) which then becomes Light (the sun or Son) is one way of conceptualizing the Sacred Trinity. When this trinitized energy has finally expressed itself in and as the Unified Consciousness Field, our cells can begin to replicate a new tetrahedral crystallinity, a biological trinity, based on the Adam Kadmon or lightbody template. This is a deeply personal and internal process that, in the end, requires the individual to adapt his or her own belief system (the spiritual subtle body) to accept enlightenment as a biological reality. Creation of such a biological reality is, I propose, the ultimate form of healing or wholing.

CORPUS CHRISTI - The staff of the Texas A&M - Corpus Christi baseball team finished its fourth and final youth camp of the 2011 season on Thursday. Over the five groups, the Islander Baseball Camp saw over 150 youngsters take part in the event.
"What a great turnout we had this year," head coach Scott Malone said. "I think the kids really had a good time in addition to learning a lot about baseball, and I know the staff had a blast. It is always a rewarding and enjoyable experience for our program."
The campers faced an obstacle that was all too common for residents of the Coastal Bend in the summertime - the heat. Staff helped keep campers cool through a number of avenues, from mandatory hydration breaks to spending some time inside watching movies.
"The heat is something we always have to deal with for our summer camps," Malone said. "But after four summers doing this, we are used to having to overcome that. Safety is our number one concern, and finding ways to mix that with showing the kids a good time is one of the challenges, but it's one we embrace."
The final camp, which ran from Monday, July 18, through Thursday, July 21, saw over 50 campers enrolled, the most for a single camp in Malone's tenure.
"It seems that every camp we have, more and more kids sign up," Malone said. "I think that speaks to the improvement we have shown as a program and the excitement in the community about Islanders Baseball. We want to become a major part of this community, and I think seeing the number of 'Little Islanders' that attend our camps, this program has a bright future in Corpus Christi."
The Islander Baseball Camp still has a High School Showcase Camp later this summer, scheduled for July 28. For details, go to islanderbaseballcamps.com.

By Molly Saunders, Digital Bear
As our Chief Executive Bear always says, you can never have enough shoes. That goes for furry friends, too. We have s been crazy about shoes since we opened our doors in 1997. But our selection of stylish kicks got a lot more fun when we began our partnership with SKECHERS® in 2000.
"Why partner with SKECHERS®?" you ask.
"When smart partners get together and do great things, they reap even greater results," said Teresa Kroll, Chief Marketing Bear. "[SKECHERS] believed that having stuffed animals wear their shoes was great promotion for them and understood that it could be a win for us both."
In fact, SKECHERS® was the very first company Build-A-Bear Workshop partnered with. And it turned out to be a huge success. Since 2000, we've sold more than 3.8 million pairs of SKECHERS® shoes for furry friends. That's a lot of happy feet!
We have had SKECHERS® Twinkle Toes™ for a few years in our stores, and now we are beary excited to be able to offer SKECHERS® Hot-Lights™ and Twinkle Toes Bears. The same thing kids love about the shoes is the same thing they'll get from the plush.
"Kids that shop at Build-A-Bear Workshop love to wear their own SKECHERS and they love to have their bears wear them, too," said Felicia Taylor, Senior Manager Partnerships Bear. "Now it's even more fun because they can have a furry friend that lights up just like the shoes they love!"

MOREHEAD CITY, NORTH CAROLINA -- I found a treadmill in a Sears store but they didn't have it in stock. The associates suggested ordering it online and having it shipped to the store nearest me. It took two weeks for the treadmill to arrive and I picked it up from the Morehead City, NC store. After half a dozen uses, the belt began to fray and I was still within the 30-day return policy so I contacted Sears.com and asked what to do. Patricia (online chat) said it had to be returned to the store it was picked up from so I loaded it into a borrowed vehicle to return it to the store.
I arrived at Morehead City, NC store to return it. The woman, Jenna, was helpful but couldn't "find" the transaction in their system. It shouldn't have mattered since I had the online receipt and the store pick-up receipt. Her manager then told her that they didn't accept returns at the store because they are an outlet store. I called Sears.com for them to verify that this was true since I was specifically told to return it to this store. After an hour on the phone, they said it had to be returned to a full-line store, which is 50 miles from me. This in itself is completely unacceptable.
Since they refused to take it at the store and the woman, Adds, from Sears.com "couldn't do anything more", I was forced to take it to Jacksonville, NC. The gentleman at merchandise pick-up, Jason, was extremely helpful but, again, for whatever reason they couldn't find it in their system even after entering everything from the receipts. He called Sears.com to see what the problem was and the woman on the phone told him it had to be returned to Morehead City, NC store.
At this point, I was steaming mad and he told the woman I was told to return it to Jacksonville, NC. She said she can see where it was noted on the file that it was to be returned to Jacksonville, but policy said it had to go to the store it was picked up from. Finally, I got on the phone with her and said I don't care what she has to say because they can't seem to get their information straight. I refused to leave the store with the treadmill and got on the phone with my credit card company to file a fraudulent charge.
The woman on the phone then said because the order was placed over 30 days ago, I couldn't return it even though the order never arrived in store for two weeks after the date of purchase. It clearly showed the date that I paid in full and received the item at the store.
She argued that it was from the date of purchase so I said if an item was out of stock and ordered online, I paid for it and it took 6 weeks to arrive, I couldn't return it. She said, "well no that's different." No, it's not different. Sears is simply trying to step around their return policy! She then said I should call a technician to come fix the problem. Are you serious?! After sending me on a wild goose chase with incorrect information, I was furious.
The manager at the Jacksonville, NC store was helpful. She finally told me to just hang up with Sears.com and she would refund the money. She couldn't believe the run around that I was given. I will never shop with Sears again. Ever. Side note: Several workers at the Jacksonville, NC store said the manager at the Morehead City, NC store is a liar. They are not an outlet store, they are a home store and they absolutely MUST do returns there.
On March 30th, I ordered one (1) back scratcher for $7.99. A few days later, I received two (2) packages in the mail: one contained the back scratcher that I ordered and the other contained three screwdrivers that I never ordered. Neither package had any documentation, whatsoever. When I looked at my credit card statement, I found two (2) separate charges for $7.99. Each of those line items contained the same phone number, 847-286-1940. That number is not-in-service!
When I went back to Sears.com, there was no provision for telephone contact. There was a "help" feature that DID NOT PROVIDE FOR AN ERROR ON SEARS' PART. The not-in-service phone number and the lack of telephone numbers on the website makes me believe that Sears has taken deliberate steps to frustrate its customers. What happened next, confirms that suspicion.
On April 5th, after a long struggle trying to find a phone number, I called 800-349-4358 and spoke to Rob, or Rod, or Bob at extension **. He promised me that he would take care of it within 48 hours. On April 12th, I got an email that said: "In regards to your order number **, we received your request regarding the missing quantity. We researched on your order and we see that you have ordered only 1 quantity. Hence you have received one quantity. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.If you have any comments or questions, please chat with us now for assistance..."
Notice that the problem went from double billing to there is no missing quantity. Okay, if you only delivered one (1) back scratcher, why was I billed for two (2) back scratchers? I called 800-366-3028 and eventually got Troy who was not helpful. He continued to follow "the script" and gave me every excuse of why the promise made by Rob, or Rod, or Bob was not fulfilled. When I asked him if following his checklist was more important than reversing an erroneous $7.99 charge for customer satisfaction, he replied that he cannot reverse the charge, nor can anyone else.
Troy refused my request for his supervisor. Troy was unable to provide me with the address to make a written complaint, and he was unwilling to make the effort to find the address for a written complaint. He kept parroting the excuse that he has a policy to follow. I wrote a complaint to corporate HQ in Hoffman Estates and received a voicemail from Preston on April 20. The phone number he left, 800-479-6351, put me in a phone tree that did not have an option for complaints or returns.
On April 21st, I got to Denise who said it was the fault of Unique Bargains, a third-party vendor, and that I should call them at 650-279-0778 because Sears has had problems emailing them. All together I have been on the phone over two hours for a $7.99 charge that was totally SEARS' MISTAKE. Rob, or Rod, or Bob did not make good on his 72 hours promise, Sally's email claims there was no problem to fix, and Troy only cared about following the script, Preston puts me back into a phone tree, and Denise says it's between me and Unique Bargains.
On April 23rd, I got an email from Jude ** who wrote: "As the cost is lower than the return shipping fee how about do a partial refund? We can offer 15%. Please contact us back so that we can assists you further. If you have any comments or questions, please chat with us now for assistance." Called 800-366-3028 and spoke to Jam who couldn't take care of it; spoke to Helen who said she'd escalate it and that I'd receive a call back from one of her three supervisors.
On April 24th, I got an email from June ** who said: "For your convenience we have issued the refund of $7.99 for the Order # **. You can keep both the items. Please allow 3-5 business days for the refund to reflect in your account." Is it really this necessary for a customer to go though this aggravation over SEARS' MISTAKE?
COLORADO -- On Friday December 18th I called the Sears appliance repair phone number provided in my owner's manual. I explained the problem I was having with my washing machine. The Sears representative could not help me fix my washer and so told me (after looking up repair availability) that a repair person would be coming to my home that afternoon.
I then got a e-mail stating the Sears will not send a repair person until Jan. 14th, 2016. I called the customer service dept. back and let them know that this will not work for me as I do not have a laundry within an hour away. She then said she would get me on an earlier schedule and that someone will be calling me to let me know when the new date will be. It is Tuesday the 22nd of Dec. today and I still not received a call. This morning I called several numbers provided in my owner's manual and online. I was put on hold and then the line went dead.
I started a chat with someone online from Sears. I explained my issues with him and gave him my phone number which he asked for. I never received a call from him. Finally I found another number to call and was greeted by a lady who spoke broken English. After asking her to repeat what she just said a couple of times I came to the understanding that I was not going to get service until Jan. 14th, 2016. If it takes that long to provide service to your customers why don't you hire more service technicians???
I generally do not buy extended warranties from Sears or anyone but was convinced by the salesman that it would be worth it. I have been a Sears card holder since 1980 and have shopped with my family at Sears since I was a little boy. I have spent thousands of dollars at Sears and would be spending thousands more. Not any more!!! This is my official notice to Sears that my life long relationship with their company is done.
MIAMI, FLORIDA -- Whirlpool fridge was leaking some water. Called for repair. Paid $300 for a 5 min. repair. Technician says, "Let me give you my cell phone number." Next morning the water leak was worse than before. Ray never answered his phone or text. Sears says it will be 1 week before they can send someone to fix his screwup. Now I have to worry for a week about my kitchen flooding or getting soaked with water because he did not do the proper repair? Stopped payment on my debit card. They will get paid when the job is done properly. If I must wait a week, so will they. Will NEVER use them again!
Would never shop at Sears again - Horrible return policy and pathetic customer service.I purchased apparel from Sears and never got a chance to return items that did not fit me since I was travelling internationally. It was around 60 days when I finally got a chance to visit the store for the return. The store associate was rude and refused to entertain my return or even give me a store credit. I was just provided a customer support number. Those guys further directed me to a customer relations team. That lady was very arrogant and refused to hear me out. Blatant reply I got was return policy changed from 90 days to 30 days.
It is disgusting that at no point was I as a customer made aware of this NEW 30 day return policy while I was making this purchase, neither is it mentioned anywhere on the receipt for customer reference. They have deliberately left it lose to misguide the customer. The associate's reasoning was that I should read this policy that is posted on the billing counters (in 5mm size text, really???) or I should go to Sears.com to educate myself regarding their new return policy.
I am pretty sure Sears is losing out in the race against other stores like Kohl's and JCP which such cheap, customer harassing gimmicks. Definitely, I for one am never setting foot in a Sears store ever again.
BONNEY LAKE, WASHINGTON -- In general, we are all just little fish in a great big pond. Whatever happened to really caring about each and every customer? I pay for a service of shipping a part, yet it's not much of a service at all. You get told an estimated arrival date, when that goes by, you call and they up the date another week. By what means does the Sears Company ship. Camel, slug, sloth. There is no way it takes two weeks to get a part to your customers. Never again will I purchase from Sears. They don't care about you, once they get your money. Oh wait, I forgot the Motto of the world. It's the (Less For More) program that all of business has become. It's all gone to hell and a hand basket!
NASHUA, NEW HAMPSHIRE -- I have a problem with my Sears Credit card. I'm try to closed my account. I don't own anything on my card but the Sears fraud department refused to closed my account because they are unavailable to verify my phone number. I forgot to update my phone number before calling Sears customer's services. They keep asking to write a letter with my new information and a copy of my Sears credit card statement. Unfortunately I enrolled in paperless so I'm unable to send this information.
Now they are telling me they already send me a letter to my address and they want me to send this letter back to them but I haven't receive any letter from them I keep. This is the 3rd time they said they had send me a letter but nothing. Please anyone can help me.
HOFFMAN, ILLINOIS -- I bought a Whirlpool dishwasher from Sears 8 months ago. Since then it has had 8 service calls, 5 repairs and 3 where they came out with the wrong parts. My dishwasher has now been broken since December 5th. At this time they have agreed to replace the dishwasher which seemed like a good thing... not. So I chose the new dishwasher on December 23rd. They finally called me on January 6th and cannot install the new dishwasher until January 27th.
At this point I would have rather they fixed the old one. At least I would have a dishwasher. I have spoken with installation, delivery, customer service, the local store and the compensation department. Spending hours on hold, being hung up and getting the wrong answers. It appears to me Sears is no longer a reputable company. Buyer Beware!!!
BALLWIN, MISSOURI -- My husband called Sears carpet cleaning for carpet cleaning service. My husband told them my basement has about 800 to 1000 square feet, they give a quote of 117.00 dollars. This is an agreed upon price, so my husband said go ahead to clean for us. When they actually came, my husband was at work. The technician has an invoice type of paper that he asked me to sign. On the sheet, it is pre-printed the price of 117.00 dollars price. The technician told me to sign the sheet before they started to do the service saying the signature is to confirm that I was informed the carpet would be wet after cleaning. I signed the paper. They did the cleaning.
By the time I need pay, I need to pay 147.00 dollars. My basement after measuring has only about 650 square feet carpet area. The price of 147.00 was pen written and was added after I signed the invoice. I was forced to pay $30.00 more. I finally made payment but I am disappointed with their practice. Don't trust their quotes. They trick you into the business with lower quotes and later find excuses to increase the price. I am not going to use their service in the future. By the way the cleaning is not good either. I still have several stains after the cleaning. The whole process I can feel they don't care, just want your check. Bad experience.
DULUTH, MINNESOTA -- At time of purchase, arranged for delivery and install. Three days later, the delivery date was changed to Saturday from Thursday. The truck broke down and I called to ask what was going on. That is when I found out from the store, they do not install gas ranges, but do install hoods.
An appointment was set up for Thursday, the following week. I called customer service 800 number, they told me it would be delivered and installed on the following Tuesday but, I needed to call the store to tell them the installers would pick up range and hood. I called the store again, they said ok, then two hours later they called me back. The local store said "we don't install rangers but do install hoods." This whole matter took over a week after purchased.
As I write this, I still don't have a person to install range, it looks like I will have to install it myself. I find it hard to believe they can't call a plumbing and heating place and have it installed. The worst part of all of this is that Sears install service national isn't aware that at this Sears store they don't install. They told me it would be installed so, in all it has been 10 days and still no new range or hood in my house. I feel I have been lied to by Sears about the range install, so in 4 more days the hood and range will be delivered, that is 15 days since purchase. Now, I need to decide how to install the range. Thanks Sears.

The Coke family is devastated by the loss of our beloved Sandra. She was a loving mother, daughter, sister and auntie, and a shining light in our family; her good cheer, easy laugh and generous hugs will be missed. Those of us who were privileged to know Sandra will remember her as an unusually kind, generous and big-hearted person. She passionately devoted her professional life to helping the poor and those who endured difficult childhoods. All of us will miss Sandra's beautiful, giving spirit.
We want to express our deepest thanks to the hundreds of caring people in local, state and federal law enforcement, current and former colleagues, friends, and members of the public and the media -- who labored day and night to assist with the search for Sandra. Your care and expressions of concern have been humbling.
We are so grateful to each of you for your kindness and support during this most difficult time.
We also want to thank the wonderful friends and colleagues who have created the Sandra Coke Fund to provide for her daughter's care and education.
Our family and Sandra's daughter will need time and privacy to mourn our loss. We thank you for understanding our need for privacy at this time.
Thank you again for all of your support in bringing home our beloved Sandra.

Samsung's Allshare TVs break down DLNA browsing into categories:
... and others ...
When browsing a PMS computer, all folders shared with PMS are seen in each category for Samsung. Is it possible to break that down at all so that I can nominate a folder (or folder tree) as being "video only" and thus only seen when descending through "Video" on a Samsung TV?
The problem this creates for browsing is that you'll end up browsing folders and see no content because the Samsung TV is filtering out filenames. This can be somewhat disconcerting if you forget for a moment what is going on.
