It's been more than a year since members of the Eagle Town Board approved $28,000 for development of a new recreation-based tourism website touting all the community has to offer.
Tuesday night they said it was well worth the wait.
The team behind the new website - www.EagleOutside.com -designer Lachie Thomas, Eagle Open Space Coordinator John Staight, Eagle Marketing Director Meg Stepanek, Eagle engineer Kevin Sharkey and town intern Alex Gamble - provided a live demonstration of the website features Tuesday night.
"This site promotes all the great recreation options we have here in town," said Staight.
What drew the enthusiastic response from the board members was the way the site did that job.
In particular, board members applauded a feature that details the various mountain biking trails around Eagle, linking the information up with Google maps. But beyond that basic platform, the site also provides turn-by-turn directions and accompanying photographs so a visitor or first-time rider can get a clear representation of a trail's features.
"What we wanted to do was combine the on-screen visual experience and the visitor's ability to download and print maps," said Staight.
Thomas noted site visitors will have the ability to make comments about the various trails and they can share information about Eagle trails via Facebook and Twitter.
"We are really creating a community around each of these trails," he said.
After watching the demonstration Tuesday, town board members were urged to check out the site and navigate it for themselves when it goes live on Friday.
"I don't think you will find a better recreation site anywhere. In fact, if anybody in this room can, I will buy them a case of beer," said Eagle Town Manager Willy Powell.
In a 5-2 vote, board members appointed Donna Spinelli as the new regular member and Melissa Baum as the new alternate member for the Eagle Planning and Zoning Commission.
The board voted unanimously to move current alternate member Jim Ash to a regular seat on the commission.
There were seven applicants for the two openings.
In recommending Spinelli for the commission, board members cited her interest in historic preservation. They also noted that the applicant pool included a planner and some individuals who are employed in construction trades. However, town board members said they prefer to see people from differing backgrounds serve on the planning commission.
"I really enjoyed the diversity of the group we had before and we all shared our individual business experiences," said former planning commission member and current Eagle Town Board member Joe Knabel.
In other action Tuesday night, the town board:
• Discussed interior road circulation, drainage and utility issues regarding the proposed Haymeadow development south of town. The Haymeadow proposal includes 979 residential units - multi-family and single family dwellings - on the 660 acre property located southeast of town in the Brush Creek Valley adjacent to the Eagle Pool and Ice Rink.
• Awarded a bid to Elam Construction for the new Grand Avenue bike path and improvements project. The bid amount was $333,461.45.

NBA is about to be back! Anyone trying to get a fantasy league going?

I've been meaning to get into fantasy basketball for a few years now but always find myself missing the drafts. I suppose though I'm probably better off seeing as if i don't have time to draft, i may not have time to participate as actively as I wanna/envision.
In other news, how 'bout them Bulls? I felt their decision to move Deng came at just the right time. Just like anything it may not play out the best in the future since draft picks and cash salary room are always shots in the dark, but here's hopes for a beter 14/15 season.

Starting to look like Lebron's about to be back in Cleveland. Cavs are going to be scary with Lebron, Kyrie, and Wiggins. I assume Dion Waiters is about to get traded

There are supposedly still whispers of Ainge trying to make a deal with Minnesota that would land Love in Boston. And it's becoming increasingly likely that Rondo will be dealt.
I'm definitely looking forward to some type of a resurgence on the court for Boston this season. Tough to sit through these rebuilding periods. Been there done that.

Back in the day we had a SFR NBA Fantasy league that I was a member of -- pretty sure you were part of it too, Juan.
I know it's still a few months away, but any OG members interested in trying to do that for the upcoming 2014-2015 season?

Hi there,
I'm looking for a program to solve my task as easy as possible and wonder if QCad is the way to go.
What do I want? We are currently doing a ton of GPS measurements where we store different types of areas (lawn, paths, parking place,...) on different layers. This areas are closed contours consisting of polylines, lines and arches. On one layer, e.g. lawn, may be any number of contours. We need the area of each contour on each layer and the summer over the areas on one layer.
I downloaded the trial and this is more or less possible by hand: Turn one layer on and use "Info -> Polygon Area". The problem is, that it is time consuming to compute the area this way. And since this command does not recognizes arches it is not exact.
Thats a rough outline of my problem and perhaps you could outline how you would tackle this problem. As I said we have many such files. I attached an example (with german names, sorry for that...).
What would be nice as first step: If the programm would automatically recognize closed contours and calculate the area. Next step: To script this.
Is this possible? How difficult is it? What are your ideas?
Thanks for your time,

Psychology Professors Diane Halpern and Piercarlo Valdesolo Honored by the Association for Psychological Science
She is a recent presenter at TEDxClaremontColleges, an award-winning scholar, and past president of the American Psychological Association; he is a fairly newish professor at CMC (since 2011), co-author of Out of Character: Surprising Truths About the Liar, Cheat, Sinner (and Saint) Lurking in All of Us (Harmony, 2011), and runs the Moral Emotions and Trust Lab––aka the MEAT Lab––at CMC, where students get to ask interesting questions like, What makes people act hypocritically? Why and when do we feel compassion for those in need? How do individuals and institutions regain trust after moral failings?
"She" is Diane Halpern, the McElwee Family Professor of Psychology and George R. Roberts Fellow, and "he" is Piercarlo Valdesolo, assistant professor of psychology. In May, Halpern will receive the James McKeen Cattell Fellow Award from the Association for Psychological Science, for a lifetime of outstanding contributions in the area of applied psychological research. The award will be presented at the Association's 25th annual convention Memorial Day weekend (May 23-26) in Washington, D.C.
Valdesolo also has just been identified by the Association for Psychological Science as a "Rising Star," a designation placing him among an impressive cohort of individuals who, in the early stages of their careers, are conducting "groundbreaking psychological science."
As such, Valedesolo will be profiled in the APS Observer publication online, as part of a series on up-and-coming researchers in the field. Other "Rising Stars" have included scholars from Princeton, Washington, Duke, and Indiana universities. Valdesolo's work has been praised by Halpern for its creativity in exploring ways that emotions shape the social mind at both the conscious and unconscious level–– with a particular emphasis on its role in moral decision-making and behavior.
Before coming to CMC, Halpern worked in the department of psychology at California State University in San Bernardino. At CMC, in addition to her teaching duties, she was the first director of the Berger Institute for Work, Family, and Children.
During the May ceremony honoring her with an APS lifetime achievement award, she will present to attendees on the topic of "The Psychological Science Behind Hyperpartisanship, and What to Do About It."
According to Halpern, "Our government is broken. Negativity toward Congress is at an all-time high with hyperpartisanship as the new bigotry in the United States.
"I will use the lens of psychological science to view the problem and to suggest corrective actions that we can take to reduce it," she said.
Halpern received her B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania, her M.A. from Temple University and her Ph.D. from the University of Cincinnati.
In 1995, she was part of an 11-member APA task force led by Ulric Neisser which published Intelligence: Knowns and Unknowns, a report written in response to The Bell Curve. She has also written on cognitive differences between men and women. In her work, she suggests a biopsychosocial model offers superior insight into cognitive sex differences than a simple nature-vs-nurture dichotomy. Another topic of her research is risks associated with left-handedness.
During the course of her distinguished and busy career, Halpern has won many awards for her teaching and research, including the George A. Miller Award for "outstanding journal article in psychology" from the Society for General Psychology, Division 1, American Psychological Association; the Ida Beam Distinguished Visiting Professor Award, University of Iowa; the 2002 Outstanding Professor Award from the Western Psychological Association and the Distinguished Career Award for Contributions to Education given by the American Psychological Association, among many others.
The Association for Psychological Science (previously the American Psychological Society) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the advancement of scientific psychology and its representation at the national and international level. The Association's mission is to promote, protect, and advance the interests of scientifically oriented psychology in research, application, teaching and the improvement of human welfare.

Silicon Valley's economy this year is continuing to create jobs but at a slower pace, according to a survey released Tuesday.
The annual CEO Business Climate Survey by the San Jose-based Silicon Valley Leadership Group sketches a picture of a strong local economy, according to Carl Guardino, president of the leadership group. But that economy isn't creating jobs as quickly as it did last year and in 2011.
"If Silicon Valley were a car, the foot is still on the accelerator, but that foot has eased off slightly on the gas pedal," Guardino said. "The economy is still moving at a robust rate, but not quite as quickly as in the past two years."
An estimated 46 percent of the Silicon Valley companies that responded to the survey said they expected to increase the size of their local workforce this year, while 10 percent planned to reduce staffing levels.
That is below the 50 percent of responding area companies that expanded staffing levels in 2012, and far below the 60 percent that added jobs in 2011. The survey measured the responses of 177 CEOs and senior officers at companies in Silicon Valley.
"Concerns are continuing to grow about the economy in Europe and the slowing of the pace of growth in China," Guardino said. "But CEOs are still bullish about innovation and hiring overall in Silicon Valley."
It's not surprising that technology companies have scaled back their hiring plans, said Rob Enderle, principal analyst with San Jose-based Enderle Research Group.
"Companies are just more cautious," Enderle said. "They don't want to lay off employees in case there is a significant upturn. And they also don't want to hire people if things remain uncertain."
The survey also suggests that job growth in the greater Bay Area and California overall may also slow down this year.
"Silicon Valley seems to be the state's equivalent of the canary in the coal mine," said Larry Gerston, a professor of political science at San Jose State University. "What happens here often leads the Bay Area and the state."
The Bay Area added just over 91,000 jobs in 2012, or about 40 percent of nearly 226,000 jobs that were added in California. And Silicon Valley -- in this case, consisting of the urban centers that cover Santa Clara County, San Mateo County, San Francisco and Marin County -- produced 27 percent of California's job gains in 2012 and 66 percent of all of the Bay Area job gains, this newspaper's analysis of state government figures shows.
"We are hearing across the board that in the tech sector, programming, engineering, support and service jobs -- those are all in high demand," said Tim Bajarin, principal analyst with Campbell-based Creative Strategies, which tracks the tech sector. "Demand by companies for people with specialized technology skills remains strong."
The growth surge in Silicon Valley won't soon abate, Bajarin predicted.
"More people are adopting technology as part of their lifestyle, as you can see with the adoption of smartphones," Bajarin said. "And we are still a long way from full digital penetration. We have not moved to interactive television. We are a long way to the adoption of interconnected smart appliances."
The survey revealed that Silicon Valley CEOs have plenty of concerns about the current and future health of the region's business climate.
High housing costs were cited by 65 percent of the respondents as the biggest challenge that the region faces. Close behind at No. 2, 63 percent of respondents cited the high costs of recruiting and retaining employees. Next up on the list of worries were business regulations, traffic and business taxes.
"We have to acknowledge our shortcomings," Guardino said. "Housing issues are like Mount Everest in terms of trying to climb them. We have too little land in too small of an area, in a region where a lot of people want to live and work."

The Mt. Soledad Memorial Association already had asked the 9th U.S. Circuit of Appeal to allow the 43-foot cross to remain, as had the U.S. Department of Justice. But the veterans group said it wanted to leapfrog straight to the nation's highest court to hasten a resolution to a legal dispute that began in 1989.
The 9th Circuit has been an unfriendly venue to advocates of the cross, ruling in 2011 that it was unconstitutional because it sits on federal property. After the Supreme Court declined to review it, the case went back to a district judge to consider possible alternatives.
In December, the district judge, Larry Burns, ordered the cross removed in 90 days, declaring "it's time for finality" 22 years after another judge ordered the cross to be taken down. Burns said he didn't believe the cross represented a government attempt to promote religion but acknowledged that the appeals court ruled differently.
Advocates of letting the cross stay are emboldened by Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's statement that the dispute raised a "question of substantial importance." They are essentially counting on another defeat at the appellate level and hoping for a more sympathetic audience at the high court.
"We're asking them to take the case without having to require us to plow through the 9th Circuit because there's really nothing left to do at the 9th Circuit," said Hiram Susser, an attorney for the Liberty Institute, which represents the veterans group.
If the Supreme Court rejects the petition, the veterans group will continue to plead its case to the appeals court, a process that could take more than two years, Susser said.
The cross, which offers sweeping views of San Diego, was erected in 1954. The American Civil Liberties Union and Jewish War Veterans sued the federal government in 2006 after the land on which the cross sits was transferred from the city to the federal government.

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi Men's Tennis team used a historic week with two wins over Top 35 teams to vault into the latest Intercollegiate Tennis Association national rankings, earning the No. 51 spot in the poll.
With the men's team in the rankings for the first time this season and the women's team coming in this week at No. 69 in the ITA poll, the program has its first ever week with both teams in the Top 75. The feat is also the first time on record that any Southland Conference member has had both teams ranked in the ITA Top 70 at the same time.
The women are 8-0 on the season, as they reached the ITA rankings for the first time in program history last week.
This makes Texas A&M - Corpus Christi one of only 34 universities in the country with both teams in the ranked in the ITA national poll, and are the only program with one coach leading both teams.
In addition to the wins over No. 30 Brigham Young and No. 34 Middle Tennessee State on the way to the 47th Annual HEB Tournament of Champions title, the Islanders beat South Alabama on Monday, a team that is now ranked No. 58 in the nation and will be reflected for the first time in the ranking period next week.
The Islanders started the weekend off with a 4-2 win over No. 30 BYU on Friday, taking down the No. 1 seed in the tournament at the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center. They followed with another 4-2 win in the afternoon, this time over Louisiana – Lafayette, to reach the finals of the event.
Another showdown against a top team was on tap, with No. 34 Middle Tennessee facing the home team for the crown. The Islanders lost the doubles point by a slim margin, but they rallied with singles wins from Ricardo Mayagoitia (No. 4), Gergo Weidinger (No. 3) and Peter Nagy (No. 1) to even it up at 3-3. It all came down to a third set at No. 5 singles, with Javier Pujol earning the win to start the celebration. It was the first time in program history that the team had won the tournament that they now host, an annual event since 1966.
The men are back in action on Friday, March 8, in Beaumont for a neutral site match against Florida A&M on the Lamar campus. The women were off the previous week, but will be back in action on March 9 in Natchitoches, La. to face Northwestern State in a key Southland Conference match.

Comments about Murad APS Body Firming Cream, 6.75 oz:
I love the smell and glides on smoothly. I have used many body lotions and this is my favorite. Soft skin. Love how it makes my skin feel. I use the Firm and Tone Serum with it so not sure how well this tones the skin on its own.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Emerito Pujol, looking sad as all get-out in his mug shot, flashed a badge and walked right through the entrance to Epcot, one of the parks at a Disney World. He said he was an undercover officer and was looking for someone. When pressed, his story changed slightly: now he was "guarding someone important." Finally, a security guard checked his badge and noticed it read "American Federation of Police" and "Honorary Member." (The AFP is a nonprofit, not a law enforcement agency.)
The 74-year-old Pujol was charged with unlawful use of a police badge, falsely impersonating an officer and petty theft. In his defense, Epcot is really fun.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (October 30, 2012)--Atlantic City Mayor Lorenzo Langford says he would love nothing better than to confront New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie "mano a mano."
Speaking on NBC's "Today" show Tuesday, Langford disputed Christie's criticism that Langford erred by allowing people to shelter on the barrier island rather than moving them inland.
Langford said the governor was either misinformed or ill advised.
The mayor said while most Atlantic City residents fled the island, some decided to stay.
He said the city had a contingency plan in place for those who didn't heed the warning to evacuate.
Langford said it's reprehensible that the governor would try to play politics out of a serious situation.
Speaking on "Today," Christie said his "anger has turned to sympathy for those folks."
Christie, who's been campaigning for Mitt Romney across the United States, praised President Barack Obama's response to the storm, however.
Christie told CBS this morning that Mr. Obama's cooperation has been "outstanding," and that he "deserves great credit."

Shaun White saw the glassy sheen of the super-steep takeoff ramp and knew something bad was coming.
He fell and jammed his left wrist -- adding another nagging injury to his long list of bumps and bruises while also entering his name on the growing list of athletes falling victim to a treacherous Olympic slopestyle course.
"A little intimidating," he called the course after Tuesday's training. "It's been a challenge."
Through two days of practice runs in the Russian mountains above Sochi, the course at Rosa Khutor Extreme Park has already taken out one of the favorites, Torstein Horgmo of Norway, who broke a collarbone while riding through the rails Monday.
On Tuesday, shortly after White's minor injury, Marika Enne of Finland fell hard and hit her head at the end of her run. She was taken off the course on a stretcher with a concussion.
Slopestyle qualifying begins Thursday -- the day before the opening ceremony -- with White trying to win the first of two gold medals at this year's Olympics. His attempt at a third straight title on the halfpipe is set for next Tuesday.
First, though, he must emerge unscathed from a slopestyle course that is taking its toll on some of the world's best riders.
"It's frustrating to see it," White said. "It puts a damper on the whole mood and it's kind of like you're getting ready to do a big trick and you see something like that. Intimidating. Unfortunate. I'm hoping the builders can make some changes and the course has a little more of a friendly vibe. But I can't change the course. Just doing the best I can."
Rider after rider said the same thing. As Tuesday's training session was winding down, a large cluster of snowboarders and their coaches met at the base for a discussion of what changes need to be made before Thursday.
"When we get to a course, nothing's perfect," snowboarder and Truckee resident Chas Guldemond said. "It's roughed in. We test the course. We come in and tweak it. We have rider meetings. We give builders feedback and make tweaks to the course to make it safer and more usable for the riders."
"The course is a little intense," said rider Jamie Anderson of South Lake Tahoe and the favorite for the women's gold medal. "Everyone's making the best of it. I'm having a questionable time getting used to it. But I'm just being slow, patient, taking them one jump at a time. At the end of the day, we're just snowboarding."
Three days before the opening of Russia's first Winter Games, Bach used a hard-hitting speech to call out politicians for using the Olympics to make an "ostentatious gesture" serving their own agendas.
Without naming any individuals, Bach's comments appeared directed at President Barack Obama and European politicians who have taken stands against Russia's law banning gay "propaganda" among minors.
"We have immediately alerted the Federal Criminal Agency, which is investigating the case," Mennel said.

Immunotherapy with autologous dendritic cells (DCs) engineered ex vivo to become immunogenic or tolerogenic recently has been used in an array of human diseases. However, optimizing the DC generation process to achieve a product with maximal clinical efficacy has been challenging. Manufacturing issues to be resolved include the type and characteristics of DC lots generated in patients with different diseases; the type of antigens or cells used for DC loading; the combination of cytokines and media used for DC maturation; and assay selection for measuring DC potency. Standardized release criteria for clinical-grade DC are not yet available, and given the current state of knowledge about DC biology, may be premature to mandate. Similarly, to evaluate immunological efficacy following adoptive transfers of antigen-loaded DC, standardized monitoring assays are needed. Although several single-cell–based immune assays and multiplex cytokine platforms are available, the choice and quality control of monitoring assays remain problematic. Improvements in the manufacturing and evaluation of clinical-grade DC products and in the design and quality of monitoring assays are needed to adequately assess the therapeutic impact of DC-based interventions in future clinical trials.
The division of labor evident among DCs suggests that the DC population is heterogenous. DCs can be broadly divided into two subtypes—myeloid and plasmacytoid—based on phenotype and function.10,11 Myeloid DCs are monocyte-derived DCs that are functionally categorized as DC1. They polarize T cells toward T helper (Th1) functions and can mediate both MHC I– and MHC II–restricted presentation of tumor epitopes, which is considered necessary for optimal immunotherapy of cancer. 3,12–14 Plasmacytoid DCs have DC2 activity and polarize T cells toward Th2 functions. Because DC-driven polarization determines the quality of T-cell responses, the source and type of DCs selected for active immunotherapy are very important. Because plasmacytoid DCs tend to induce tolerance, they are considered to be an appropriate cell type for treating autoimmune diseases. Thus, the DC type best suited for active immunotherapy may vary depending on therapeutic application.

Alleged burglary attempt fails
Published: Monday, February 18, 2013 at 10:35 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 18, 2013 at 10:35 a.m.
A man shut off the power at a Thibodaux pharmacy and then tried to break into the business, police said.
Timothy Paul Thiac III, 22, 745 N. 7th St., Thibodaux, was arrested Feb. 7 and charged with the Jan. 7 crime, Thibodaux Police said Monday.
He's accused of forcing his way into a locked breaker box about 7 a.m. and shutting off power at a business in the 1100 block of Audubon Avenue. He then tried to pry open the back door, but a passerby spotted him, so Thiac drove away, police said.
Thiac is charged with attempted burglary of a pharmacy. He was released from the Lafourche jail on a $3,500 bond, officials said.

We couldn't make it to the premiere of Avatar in L.A. last night, because it's far. Fictional freelancer Betsey Morgenstern cashed in her frequent flier miles and made the trip for us. Here is her report.
I Still Don't Know What an Avatar Is
by Betsey Morgenstern
Everyone in America—or at least every media outlet owned by Rupert Murdoch—is talking about Avatar, the first movie James Cameron made since Iceberg. It has something to do with blue aliens and looks sort of like watching a Smurfs marathon while on acid. All of the L.A. celebrities were out on the red carpet where I managed to station myself for a few hours and talk to all the luminaries who tried to make it out of this world and in Cameron's. Here is my sci-fi adventure.
After getting to my publicist-assigned spot on the red—or in this case blue—carpet, I was approached by a rather rotund man that looked a bit like a hedgehog on his way to a court date.
"Hey, I'm Jon. What's your name?"
"Uh, I'm Betsey. Are you in the movie."
"No, I produced it. I have tons of money. You wanna be my date to the after party? I'll introduce you to all the stars."
"Thanks, Jon, but I'm all set."
"You sure?" he asked while leaning in close and slipping his hand down my back to my admittedly bodacious derriere. "I got a huge cock," he whispered, and then brought his body away, giving me a look that said, "Really. I'm not lying."
Just as I as about to respond, Zoe Saldana walked up. "Hey, Jon. Thanks so much for last night. I had a really great time. You're not really my normal type but, wow!"
He gave me a look that said, "See" and gave her a funny little hug. Zoe saw me staring and looked at me with a crumpled little face.
"Who are you?" she asked looking me up and down.
"Oh, I'm a reporter, I"m just asking some questions..."
"Don't ask him anything. This one is mine. If I see you talking to him again, I'll fucking slice your fucking boob off and then I'll fucking call every fucking publicist in this fucking town and tell them that you never fucking get another fucking assignment every fucking again. Am I fucking clear?"
"Oh, uh, yeah. Sure. Sorry."
Feeling bad for me, Jon piped up. "Come on, Zoe. Let's leave the poor thing alone. What you doing later?" As he walked away he turned back and gave me the thumb and pinky to the ear signal and mouthed, "Call me."
Luckily Jamie Lee Curtis came by to make me feel a little bit better. I don't think she's in this movie, but I wanted to ask her some questions. I've got a bone to pick with Miss Curtis.
"Hey Jamie, what did you do to your face?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well, you're looking a little brown there, especially next to your white hair."
"Oh, I was just on vacation with my family in Hawaii and..."
"Are you sure it's not poop?"
"Excuse me?"
"You know, poop. Because I ate a six pack of that Activia stuff you're always hawking and it made me shit myself while waiting in line to get inside the Boom Boom Room for Jesus Luz's DJ debut."
"That's why they call it the Boom Boom Room," she said giving me a little sneer, "Cause you made a boom boom." Her kids thought that was just hysterical.
"What are you laughing about?" I yelled. "At least my mom isn't a tranny."
"No," Jamie Lee said. "You're something else. You're a stupid bitch who can't even hold it until she gets to the toilet."
"Oh my god, I can't believe you just said that!"
"Well, here's a free coupon for Activia, I hope that makes up for it. And next time, maybe eat something a little bit more solid, like some Raisinettes or something."
Speaking of Raisinettes, here comes Audrina Patridge from The Hills. God, I love that show. But where is Justin Bobby?
"Audrina, where's Justin Bobby?"
"He's not here. We broke up?"
"Oh, I saw that on the show, but, you know none of that is real, so I figured you were still together."
"Well, where is he?"
"At home? I don't know? Maybe out with friends?"
"Will you call him up or text him? I always thought he was cute and want to hang out with him."
"Uh, no. I'm sorry, I can't do that."
"Will you tell me how big his dick is?"
"No, I...I gotta go."
"Wait, Audrina! Who are you wearing?"
Look it's the Jonas Brothers! "Aren't one of you guys getting married this weekend?"
"Girl, look at us, we're like 13. We ain't getting married," the smallest one said.
"Well, I love your records, can you sign something for my niece?"
"Records? Who do you think we are?" the middle one asked.
"The Jonas Brothers. Duh."
"Jesus. You are one crazy white lady."
Going to the premiere, I knew that I would run into Sam Worthington, the hunky star of the movie who I once had a run-in with during my junior year abroad in Sydney. Sam was working as a bartender and I was on an assignment to find the best appletini for the school newspaper. I totally wrote a Sex and the City column for the Sydney University Egret.
I get into the bar and Sam is working, and he made me a few drinks and we made some small talk. It wasn't very crowded, so he asked me if I wanted to "see the stock room." I said, "Sure, but only for research," knowing that he wanted a little something more. We get in the back and start making out really heavily. The floor was all sticky with dry booze and whatnot and I didn't want to pull my pants down because they would get all gross. I had a patented move in mind.
I undid his belt and pulled down his jeans and boxer briefs and jerked him off with one hand. I spit on the and jammed two fingers up his ass. He got up on his tippy toes and made this "OOOH," sound and then scrunched up his face. He finished right then, and left a mess on my pants that was probably nastier than if they fell to the floor. You live and learn.
"What was that?" he asked when I was done.
"I call it the Australian Alligator."
"Well, that sure has bite, thanks Betty."
"It's Betsey."
"Well, I gotta get back to work. See you around, Betty."
I certainly saw him around: in movies, on TV, posters, ads, Entertainment Weekly articles. He's everywhere.
As I walk up to him, he give me a look that says, "Get the hell away from me."
"Hey, Sam, remember me?"
"Oh, I ah, can't say that I do."
"Sam, who is this?" his date asks him, putting a hand on his chest.
"This is some reporter who I have never met before in my life."
"How are you going to tell me we never met? Don't you remember me in the backroom of that bar in Sydney?"
"You never told me you worked in a bar, Sammy," the obnoxious girl said.
"I, uh, I didn't. You must have me confused with someone else."
"How are you going to tell me you don't remember. I gave you the Australian Alligator."
"Wait," the girl said, "You told me you came up with that name."
"I did, baby. Let's go. This girl must have me confused with someone else."
As they walked away, I couldn't help but wonder, do we have to answer for all our past mistakes, or will they answer to us?
Oh no, I think Zoe Saldana is coming back to give me another fucking piece of her fucking mind.
"Hi there, do you want to ask me some questions?"
"Are you bipolar or something."
"Oh," Zoe chuckled. "That's not the kind of thing I thought you would ask. Usually people ask me about singing."
"Singing, why would I want to ask you about that."
"Because I'm a singer. I won that show The X Factor. It's huge in the U.K."
"Was that before or after Star Trek?"
"I wasn't in? OH! Are you trying to say that I look like Zoe Saldana? Did Simon put you up to this?"
"I thought that guy you are fucking was named Jon? Who is Simon? Who are you?"
"Let me say this into your recorder. 'I'm going to get you for this one, Mr. Cowell.' Play that for him. He'll get a big kick out of it."
Danny DeVito has always been one of my favorites. When I saw him, I was so excited, but why the hell was he carrying a box of Raisinettes?
"Oh, Jamie Lee Curtis gave these to me as a joke," he explained.
"Why is that funny?"
"Well, I told her that Rhea made me eat too much of her stupid Activia and then I shit myself when backstage before Taxi received a TV Land Award. I had to go clean myself up and Tony Danza got to accept the award by himself. He's so tall and handsome and always stealing the spotlight. What an asshole."
"He is an asshole. I dated him once. It ended badly."
"I'm sure it did, kid. Anyway, I told Jamie that story when I ran into her in Hawaii last week and she told me to eat something more solid like Raisinettes. She said she knew I'd be here tonight, so she brought me some as a joke. She's such a cut up."
"Did you say she's such a cunt?"
"Ha, no, I said she's a cut up. But, really, she's both."
Oh no, Zoe is back. Why won't this girl leave me alone. I don't even want to date her nasty big-dicked boyfriend. Wait. Why is she flirting with Michelle Rodriguez. Ew, is she a lesbian?
I asked her why she had beef if she's a lesbian.
"We're not lesbians," Rodriguez yelled back at me. "We're just friends. Who said I'm a lesbian. I'm not a lesbian. Was it Latifah? She's just pissed because of that time I guest starred on Living Single and wouldn't make out with her after we shared some craft services. Now she's always trying to out me, not that I'm a lesbian. I'm not a lesbian. Wow, you're pretty. What's your name?"
"Oh you fucking bitch," Zoe screamed. "You're trying to make fucking people think I'm a fucking lesbian so that you can fucking fuck my fucking boyfriend, Jon. I am going to fuck..."
I ran away, looking for any safe place to hide.
I'm racing down the carpet and who do I see, Tom Arnold. Oh Christ.
He starts screaming after me, "Betsey. Wait! Can we talk? Why won't you respond to my Facebook friend request? Are you still mad about that time in Boca? Come on, Betsey. Talk to me!"
Time to run in the other direction.
"See this bitch, this is the kiss of death. I'm going to fucking fuck you up, you fucking bitch."
Oh no, there's nowhere to hide.
"Sigourney, save me!"
"From what?"
"Tom Arnold."
"Oh god, did he try to do that thing to you in his hot tub in Boca too?"
"Yes, how did you..."
"Poor girl, he does that to everyone. I'm so sorry. Can I give you a hug."
"Sure. Thanks. I really needed that. Wow, your arms are really firm."
"Thanks. I work hard to stay in shape. Feel my abs. Just feel them. That's what they call 'a situation,' isn't it."
"Wow, it sure is. How do you get them so tight."
"I found this exercise show on the Health on Demand channel on my cable. It's a belly-dancing workout show called Shimmy."
"Wow, that sounds like fun. Will you show me how it's done."
"Yeah, start with your hands on your head, and just gyrate like this."
"Like this?"
"Yeah, wow, you're really getting the hang of this."
"Thanks. This is fun. Sigourney, I like you."
"James, who is that weird girl shaking her hips with Sigourney? James? James?"
"I don't know, hon. Let's keep moving."

Flu shots are now recommended for adults 50 years and older since they're most susceptible to the virus. But the vaccine is doing more than fending off the flu bug; it's protecting seniors from other health problems.
The research appeared in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine. The study found that the flu vaccine also protects against heart disease and stroke. Which many seniors say is more reason for them to get the shot.
Many seniors get their flu shots well ahead of the flu season so they don't have to deal with the hassle.
"I think it's very important that people, seniors, get their flu shots to help them with their cold and things. And I haven't had a cold all winter, so I feel like it's very important," said Norma Jean Corbett received flu shots for 10 years.
The vaccination might be even better than some give it credit. A new study reveals that hospital stays for heart disease or stroke during two flu seasons were reduced among those who got the shots.
Julie Sanderbick with Public Health, Home Health is intrigued by the report.
"I think there needs to be more study done on the area, but I think it would be beneficial that it could prevent people from a second heart attack from what I read on the research done thus far," said Julie Sanderbick, Public Health, Home Health.
South Georgia Medical Center, which provides the vaccination, did not see the correlation before.
Representatives say they will now start keeping those types of stats due to the recent study. Meanwhile, many seniors are going to continue getting their shots so the flu bug won't keep them down.
"I definitely think they should, I don't see any harm in it. Now some people have an allergic reaction and since they have found that it's food for other things, they definitely should a flu shot, every year," said Barbara Gandy, flu shot advocate.
In 2001, about 63 percent of those over 65 were vaccinated in the United States.
What does the vaccine do exactly for the 65 and over age group? The vaccine reduces deaths overall and prevents pneumonia for most of the 65 and over, it's just been recently recommended for those 50 and older.

IONIA (WILX)-- Some of the worst flooding in mid-Michigan came to a crest Saturday.The crest being the highest level the river will reach during a flood season.
Ionia Emergency Management predicts the Grand River in the area won't hold steady much longer, and homes should see water start to recede within a few days.
For many the water going down is good news.
"The Lyons/ Muir, area appears to be receding, the Grand River in Ionia appears to be at crest," said Ionia Emergency Management Coordinator Doug Devries.
Ionia resident, Penny Beeman's house is still surrounded. She and her two kids decided to stay in the disaster shelter Friday night, and the sooner they can get back home the better.
"If we would have crested where they were predicting it would have been impossible to get to. It's right on the border line. Flood waters came right up to my house," said Beeman.
After the waters recede the emergency management teams will still have a lot to do.
"A lot of clean up. A lot of individuals houses were damaged and businesses. We dont look forward to it, but we look forward to being able to help them as much as possible. We want to get their lives back to the way it was," said Devries.
Many roads in Ionia County are still closed to due damage and water.
In Ionia the water is still above flood level at 24.7 feet, a record level for the area. It will stay at or near the flood stage throughout the weekend. Evacuations were suggested to all homes along the river. Devries doesn't believe emergency management will have to issue any more evacuation suggestions for this flood.
"Anytime the water starts receding its a good thing, a good feeling," said Devries.
Until Beeman and her kids can get back to their home they plan on staying in the shelter and helping out.
"Being able to bring my kids to the shelter and allowing them to stay here has allowed me to have peace of mind," said Beeman.

Result: Got credit for a hold because A's led 4-3 when he left the game. Dan Otero received the blown save because he gave up game-tying sacrifice fly. But Otero became the winning pitcher when A's scored three runs in the 11th.
Johnson's totals: 5 games, 31/3 innings, 9 hits, 7 runs (earned), 6 walks, 4 strikeouts, 0-2 record, 1 save, 1 blown save, 18.90 ERA.

EAST BAY -- Bob Doyle, the East Bay Regional Park District general manager, has received a five-year contract extension to continue running the system with 112,000 acres of park land.
In a vote of confidence for its top executive, the regional park board voted unanimously Tuesday to extend Doyle's employment agreement from the start of 2013 through the end of 2017.
The new deal provides no guarantee of pay increases, but leaves it up to the park board to decide whether to raise Doyle's annual salary of $223,267.
Park Board President Carol Severin said the pact provides stable leadership as the park district continues to buy and develop park land with money from a $500 million bond measure approved by East Bay voters in 2008.
"Bob is an extremely hard working person who gets things done," Severin said. "He is a high energy person who makes you feel like you want to be part of the team."
Doyle's contract provides him 12 months pay if the board terminates him.
Doyle started as regional park district ranger some 35 years ago and was promoted to general manager at the start of 2011 to succeed Pat O'Brien, who retired.

Someone recently asked if all of my "Remember When" ideas come from the Internet.
The answer is no. Since the first column in 2003, the stuff I write every Sunday is solely based on my memories of growing up along Chesterfield Avenue in downtown Lancaster.
I catch a fit trying to spell plagiarism, let alone trying to do it.
Now, if by chance, you see more than one reference to the washing of my dog, Tiger, well, bless your heart. That means you're keeping up. After all, I gave my favorite all-time dog more than one bath.
Fall has arrived. The leaves are turning colors and my sweater feels just right during my morning walks to school.
Leaves and cooler days are fairly obvious signs that summer is slipping away.
What's happening downtown is another visible reminder, and that's what has gotten the attention of boys of all ages.
Mr. Burns, whose Chevrolet place is across the road from the courthouse, and Mr. Brigman's Ford dealership at the corner of Catawba and Arch streets are getting ready for the new 1940 models.
I was in a Saturday afternoon rut. Me and my buddies had done about everything there was to be done.
Of course, the recent battle I waged against the Rogers' boys on Market Street didn't help. Mama had me on a short leash.
What started as a mud ball fight ended up in full-blown warfare after somebody put a rock inside a mud ball.
And it found its mark, too. I took a direct hit; the mud ball popped me square in the mouth, drawing blood from one lip and chipping a front tooth.
The outcome of that battles was two "nevers."
You know, some things never change.
There are always some folks sitting around thinking of stuff to confuse the rest of us.
This time of the year some of us call the season fall, 'cause leaves are beginning to fall from the trees.
Others refer to the changing season as autumn which sounds more uppity to me.
Regardless of what you call the season, I know it's on its way. The persimmons falling are sweet and I am trying my level best to keep the possums away.
It never fails. If you are a happily (or unhappily) married man and have been for a number of years, your bride will initiate this conversation during a road trip.
And if she hasn't done it yet, don't worry. It's coming.
It goes something like this: "Say something. We've gone 200 miles and you haven't said a single word to me. And don't tell me you're quiet from driving and paying attention to the road, either.
Times were tough, but not tough enough for us to give up.
We were doing without a bunch of stuff at our house, but so were all our neighbors here and across the nation.
We had been at war for right at four years.
Some folks griped, but a lot of smart folks on the "Colossus of the South" with Mr. Grady Cole were telling us that things were going to be better than ever. It was about time, I thought.
It's been a long time since I jockeyed an infant through busy shopping center or pushed a stroller along a neighborhood sidewalk.
But it has caused a recent stir.
I'm amazed at the number of unlikely shoppers who stop and speak to our great-granddaughter and pass the time with a kind word or two.
At first, neighbors just glanced away as I nodded my head when we walked past. Now, we get a few waves and smiles. Sometimes, they'll even walk over to speak.
If downtown Concord, N.C., would have been Lancaster some years ago, we'd have been in trouble. Uncle Harry would have been standing before a judge trying to keep us from getting fined.
I don't know if you heard, but they announced Friday morning on the TV news that the elected folks in Concord voted down allowing chickens inside its city limits.
You know, there was a time when chickens and doughnuts shared a common bond in downtown Lancaster.
I'm about to explain it.
It's a given that I have a very healthy respect for boogers, hobgoblins and ordinary ghosts.
Since I'm now in southern Maryland a few days each month, I figured I oughta try to learn a little something about this place.
The town my granddaughter and her family now call home is Lexington Park.
A little bigger than Rock Hill, its name comes from the Navy aircraft carrier, the USS Lexington, which was sunk by the Japanese in World War II during the Battle of the Coral Sea.
Heavens to Betsy, what was that? I only turned my head for a second when I heard the crash of something heavy on our kitchen floor.
My young great-grandson had managed to pull the "junk" drawer off its runners and bang, to the floor, it tumbled. What a mess.
That's probably happened at one time or another at every home in this county.
I'd wager that just about everybody has a junk drawer.
It's OK; we're supposed to have a place to store discarded stuff that will surely come in handy at some future time.

When Pat Simmons wrote "Black Water," musical floodgates opened, inundating the Billboard charts with high-rising albums and singles.
"It was all just part of a flow that we had going at the time that was just ramping up," Simmons said. "The thing about hit records or successful radio play is everything builds off a certain momentum you might create and I don't think anybody can ever predict how you get a hit record or anything else about it."
The Doobie Brothers, who last year celebrated its career with a 40th anniversary tour, have sold more than 40 million albums and in 2004 were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame.
Simmons, a superb fingerstyle guitarist, symbiotically blended with the band's other primary songwriter and guitar strummer, Tom Johnson, and his deep, recognizable voice. The band's momentum was so great, a major personnel change only enhanced it.
"I think our sound in the early '70s became popular and we kept producing records in a close given time range and we were able to sustain that by having good songs on each record," Simmons said. "When Tommy left the band in the later '70s and Michael McDonald came aboard, it was just another one of those things where we continued our success in another direction."
Johnson and Simmons are together with the Doobies, which perform about 80 to 100 shows per year, including Friday, July 13, in the opening of the Lake Tahoe Summer Outdoor Concert Series at Harveys in a twinbill with Chicago.
The Doobie Brothers have had many different lineups over the years. Simmons is the only member who has always been in the band. He is the songwriter of the hits "South City Midnight Lady," "Depending on You" and "Echoes of Love." A motorcycle enthusiast, he also penned "Dangerous." He also has a pair of solo albums, 1983's "Arcade," and "Take Me to the Highway," released in 1995.
He and his wife, Cris, and three children, Lindsey, Josh and Patrick Jr., live in Maui, Hawaii.
In September 2010, the Doobies released its second, and clearly the best, studio album in two decades, "World Gone Crazy." It has new material with the vintage Doobie Brothers sound.
Simmons said the new album was the inspiration of producer Ted Templeman, who worked with the band after a 28-year hiatus.
"I was writing some and (Johnston) was writing some and we'd been thinking about it for a long time," Simmons said. "We just never slowed down long enough. Then we were rehearsing for a tour and our old producer came into the rehearsals and started talking to us and he talked us into going into the studio and recording with him helping us out."
The album has been well received. Simmons, Johnston, John McFee and Michael Hossack are joined by an impressive group of guest artists, including McDonald, honorary Doobie Billy Payne of Little Feat, Willie Nelson, Tower of Power's Mic Gillette and Marc Russo, Karl Perazzo, Greg Bissonette and Kim Bullard. Harmonica player Norton Buffalo, who died of lung cancer, also appears, and it likely was the last recording he made.
"We have been able to pop up on a couple of different (radio) formats," Simmons said. "Some cool jazz stuff a little bit of country, a little Americana, a little coffee house. And then we have more when we play live, we're a rock 'n' roll band, like 'China Grove' and even some of our new stuff, 'Chateau.' And then we do some really bash it out crazy '60s rock too. That's all part of our thing."
Speaking of crazy '60s, we asked Simmons why is his band called the Doobie Brothers?
"That was a mistake," he laughed. "It was one of our buddies."
Coalescing in 1969, the band had been called Pud, in homage to a character in the Double Bubble gum cartoon strip.
"None of us liked that name, so one of the guys sitting at the table before a show said, 'Hey, you guys smoke so much pot you ought to call yourselves the Doobie Brothers,' " Simmons said. "Of course, we all said that's stupid, so let's use that one. That'll be good. That was how it started and after a while everybody knew us as the Doobie Brothers."

well I never had any issues with streaming any mkv's through my PS3 as it would just go through the tsmuxer option. and now that I'm a xbox user no longer a PS3 user, I'm having insane amount of issues.
One being and the main issue. tsMuxer doesn't come out as an option in the #Transcode folder. I have depended on that since I got a PS3 for my 720p HD MKV's. Now I can't watch my movies or TV's in HD.
The mencoder works, but it is degrading the quality and it just isn't looking good. I even had some shutter and tiling.
2nd, I just updated to 1.7.2 and it can't find my xbox now lol.
I Guess I'll try 1.7.1 since people were having issues with the new one.
Mainly though I need a answer for my first issue. I need to know and have tsmuxer as an option. It would always playback everything so smoothly and just look so good. so yea someone help.

A fire ignited in a Talent garage Tuesday evening after a battery charger on a workbench short-circuited, but crews were able to knock it down quickly, preventing its spread to the rest of the structure.
Jackson County Fire District No. 5 responded to the fire at 6:19 p.m., reported in the 500 block of Hummingbird Lane. Fire officials said the homeowner smelled smoke and followed it to his garage. A fire on his workbench was putting off thick clouds that filled the space. The homeowner called 911 and poured some water on the blaze.
Two engines arrived on scene and opened up the garage to ventilate the smoke before extinguishing the fire the rest of the way. It did not spread to the rest of the garage or home.
"It was (knocked down) within a minute or so," said Capt. Tony Halley. "It was basically just on a work bench. Beyond that, the only other damage was smoke damage."
No one was hurt. The workbench contained numerous plastic pieces and parts the homeowner used to build remote control airplanes. Much of it melted, but a damage assessment was not available.
"Those types of chargers overheat at times and can be faulty," Halley said of the fire's cause. "It's just a matter of keeping an eye on it."

Wofford falls short against The Citadel, 69-63
Published: Thursday, January 31, 2013 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 1, 2013 at 12:14 a.m.
CHARLESTON — Mike Groselle scored a season-high 24 points, P.J. Horgan had 16 points and 10 rebounds, and The Citadel held off Wofford 69-63 in a Southern Conference game on Thursday night, snapping an 11-game losing streak against the Terriers.
Matt Van Scyoc scored 10 points and Marshall Harris III had 10 assists with six points for the Bulldogs (5-15, 2-8). Groselle also had seven rebounds, four assists and two steals.
Karl Cochran had 15 points, Spencer Collins 14 and Lee Skinner 12 for Wofford (8-14, 2-7).
The Citadel took the lead for good at 43-42 on Van Scyoc's two free throws with 14:37 remaining.
"We did not handle some things down the stretch," said Wofford head coach Mike Young. "We tried to make the right play but in a game that we are supposed to win, The Citadel played better than we did."
The Bulldogs built it to 58-49 with 8:31 to go, but the Terriers closed to 66-63 on Skinner's layup at the 1:20 mark.
The Citadel shot 55.6 percent from the field to Wofford's 39.6.

DT Systems
The SPT 2400 series was designed in collaboration with top professional trainers around the world with a focus on rugged reliability, ease of use, and training features such as the Jump and Rise training aids.
The Jump Stimulation* is a great feature for training methods that involve "jumping" frequently between two different stimulation levels. As before, you can set a level of intensity to the Nick or Continuous Stimulation buttons that is appropriate for training your dog. The Jump Stimulation button allows you to set a second, self-programmed stimulation level higher or lower than your normal intensity level setting. Applying a correction at the right intensity level quickly and timely is paramount in dog training with e-collars. With the Jump Stimulation feature, you won't have to have to fumble around with the stimulation setting at the time that the correction is needed, so the chances of applying a stimulation too late or at the wrong intensity level are virtually eliminated. The Jump Stimulation is also useful in emergency or dangerous situations when your dog is excited and not responding to the normal stimulation level. If you do not have time to increase the intensity level in these situations, the Jump Stimulation is a fast and convenient way to get your dog's attention before the situation gets out of hand.
Another great feature is Rise Stimulation*. The Rise Stimulation button continuously increases the stimulation level until the button is released. This allows you to hold the Rise button until you notice a response from the dog, essentially allowing the dog to choose the appropriate level of stimulation. Prior to the Rise Stimulation, dog trainers had to guess at the correct stimulation level for individual dogs. With Rise Stimulation, the dog responds to a level that matches his temperament.
All SPT 2400 series have completely waterproof and rechargeable (Ni-MH batteries) transmitter and collar units, an easy-to-read LCD screen with a low battery indicator, and a 2400 yard (1.3 mile) range. Also included on all SPT 2400 series are the Jump, Rise, Nick, and Continuous Stimulations, as well as Vibration. The SPT 2430 and 2432 (2-dog system) add a beeper/trainer to the already feature-loaded SPT 2400 series.

So the old bugger finally gets a MOJO magazine all to himself! It all started for us around the late '60s. Blues people were studiously eying their tatty plimsolls, and Flower Power bands were showering us all with false love and kisses. A few of us thought it was time for a change. We needed a bit of flair, a bit of showmanship – a revolution for fun!When I first saw David with the Spiders, the impact was the same as when I first saw Jimi Hendrix. They were totally different musically, but both were visually amazing. David was with Angie at the time and they were experimenting with all kinds of sartorial outrageousness. Suzi Fussey, who later married Mick Ronson, was busy changing his hair and Sue Frost was sewing up outfits for 10 quid a time. David was the icon and Ronno the rocker – and it worked.They built up an entirely new audience by gigging up and down the country. They had great songs, too. In fact, we rather took a fancy to one of them ourselves! [All The Young Dudes gave Mott The Hoople a top 3 hit in summer 1972.] David was – and remains – a clever lad and master of the move. And, of course, Tony DeFries, his manager at that time, could get an elephant outside of Harrods in half an hour if that was what David wanted.Ronno's classical background added a totally unique flavour to it all, while Woody Woodmansey and Trevor Bolder held the back line – and off they were into history. Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders, Mott The Hoople, Roxy Music…"Nothing like a bit of ballet," as Freddie Mercury used to say.Ian Hunter (November 2003), MOJO: David Bowie Special Edition (2004)
"[Bowie scrawled on the box of the 'Suffragette City' demo] 'This might be of some use to you, would you like to cover it?' We played it and didn't think it was quite right…[I called Bowie] and said 'Thanks very much for the tape, we won't be recording it because we've split up. And he sounded genuinely upset…He called me back two hours later and said he'd spoken to Tony DeFries, his manager at MainMan, who would try to get us out of the position we were in. He said, 'Also, I've written a song for you since we spoke, which could be great…[A few days later] Bowie played me this song, 'All The Young Dudes' on his acoustic guitar. He hadn't got all the words but the song just blew me away, especially when he hit the chorus."Overend Watts, cited in The Complete David Bowie (2004 edition), p.22
"We couldn't believe it…In the office at Regent Street he's strumming it on his guitar and I'm thinking, he wants to give us that? He must be crazy! We broke our necks to say yes! You couldn't fail to see it was a great song."Dale Griffin, cited in The Complete David Bowie (2004 edition), p.23
"I remember going to get a pizza with David Bowie while we were recording the album at Trident…His record 'Starman' was one the jukebox while we were waiting, and he said, 'Yours will be on soon.' I said 'Yeah, great, but for some reason I'm not as excited as I would have been if it had come from the band.' And he said, 'I know what you mean.'"Verden Allen, cited in The Complete David Bowie (2004 edition), p.23
"We owe a big debt to David, because without ['All The Young Dudes'], I think we'd have been finished…You can say it might have had an adverse effect on the band's image, but without it there wouldn't have been a band. Simple as that."Ian Hunter, cited in The Complete David Bowie (2004 edition), p.24
"David was trembling [when he first met Mott The Hoople]…He had this big thing, he thought we were very heavy dudes. He used to tell people I was the head of a motorcycle gang and he had this very heavy deal about us."Ian Hunter, cited in Alias David Bowie (1987 edition), p.349
"David was one of the few people who can walk in and there is magic in the room. He has a very inquisitive mind, he's fast, and you feel that the guy knows more than you do so you put yourself in his hands. That has never happened before or since with me."Ian Hunter, cited in Alias David Bowie (1987 edition), pp.349-350
"He sucks, like Dracula. He sucks what he can get and then he moves on to another victim."Ian Hunter, cited in Alias David Bowie (1987 edition), p.350
"The type of thing that Mott had that he never had was humanity. I think he was upset because he never had riots. People were too polite to riot at his concerts."Ian Hunter, cited in Alias David Bowie (1987 edition), p.350
"David was in love with us and wanted Tony [DeFries] to manage us. David said to me, 'Trust him with your life.' David also said to me, 'McGovern is going to be the next president.'"Ian Hunter, cited in Alias David Bowie (1987 edition), p.351

Popularity of Live Events on the Rise
If TV killed the radio star, the Internet killed the video star. And musicians, once again, have had to retool how they get their income. In the latest role reversal, those with music jobs have increasingly turned to the live concert industry and corporate sponsors to make up the income lost from digital distribution. In the last two years, live concert industry revenue has grown by 50%.
Copyright Law: What You Need to Know
For anyone who works in a creative field, copyright law is a major aspect affecting almost any creative work. Copyright law crosses all entertainment industries – music (with its use of "samples"), digital photography, film and journalism – and knowing the limits of creative production is paramount when pursuing new projects. So here's a primer covering some of the basic rules of copyright law that you can use when you're crafting your next big project.
Taking Advantage of the Job Skills Shortage
Employers often say they can't find what they need in job applicants. In the same breath, they also post a laundry list of required job skills to discourage candidates. In this market, a job seeker should be willing to challenge what's necessary and read between the lines of a job post to know what's really "required".

In today's completely grown-up edition of Speak Up on Kotaku, commenter DukeofWulf muses on how easy it is for kids today to fill all of that free time they've got with copious amounts of free gaming, the little snots.
Today is a good day to be a kid.
When I was young, I had all the time in the world and no money to buy games. Now that I work, I have money but no time to game; meanwhile, you can download a demo of practically anything, and quality games are available on flash sites for free and on Steam for a pittance.
As much as I treasure my memories of Duck Hunt (muzzle against the screen, natch), Tie Fighter, and Starcraft on dial-up, I can't help but envy the choice available to kids today.
Editor's Note: We're working to fix the Speak Up forum issue. In the meantime, go here.

I like the color of this napkin. Other than that, it is all bad news. The label says to "LINE DRY" Who has time to iron napkins??? I tried cleaning them their way - terrible results. I tried lightly drying them in dryer - even worse results. I have cut them up and added them to my quilting scraps.

OREGON— Robert Carl Ham, 34, of Portland, Oregon died unexpectedly at his home November 18, 2012. He is survived by his wife Mitsue and their two children 11 year-old Erica and 8 year-old Jonathan. Erica and Jonathan attend the Richmond Elementary School in Portland, a public Japanese immersion school. Rob is the son of Dr. Edgar and Luann Ham of Hendersonville and the brother of Roshena Ham and her family, husband Owen Bugge, nephew Davis and niece Emery Bugge of Charlotte, NC. Rob is preceded in death by his grandparents, Peter and Georgiana Ham of Wallingford, PA and William and Germaine Dirr of Brevard, NC.
Rob was born at home in Brevard, NC on March 22, 1978. He attended Brevard Elementary and Middle School and transferred to Carolina Day School when his family moved to Asheville. He also attended T.C. Roberson High School. At Brevard College, Rob met his future wife Mitsue. They transferred to the University of North Carolina Greensboro where Rob graduated in the class of 2000 Magna Cum Laude with a B.S. in Business Administration. He and Mitsue, surrounded by family from Japan and the US, married in 2001 with a fun-filled ceremony at the wedding chapel in Disneyworld. They lived in Illinois where Rob worked as a banker. After their daughter Erica was born, Rob decided to pursue his true calling in the medical field. He and his family returned to North Carolina and a year after their son Jonathan was born, Rob graduated Cum Laude from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in 2005 with B.S. in Nursing. In 2006, Rob and his family moved to Portland, Oregon where he worked at Legacy Good Samaritan hospital. He started in the Operating Room and then found his niche in the Intensive Care Unit. Looking for a challenge he landed his favorite job. From 2008 until the day before he died, Rob worked at the Portland VA Medical Center in the Intensive Care Unit. He found the ICU rewarding and felt proud to be working at the VA. He admired his co-workers and the administration. He was a loving father to his children, a devoted husband, and tender caregiver. On Friday, November 24, the Portland VA Medical Center chaplain services and the ICU staff gave a heart-felt tribute to Rob in the VA Chapel, which the family will cherish.
The family and children of Rob will hold a memorial service at 11 a.m. Saturday, December 29, 2012 at St. John in the Wilderness, Flat Rock, NC. In lieu of flowers, donations to The Robert Ham Memorial Fund may be sent to Selco Community Credit Union, P.O. Box 7487, Springfield, OR 97475.

Location: Sunflower Research
Project Number: 3060-21000-039-04
Start Date: Apr 01, 2009
End Date: Mar 31, 2014
We plan to expand testing of germplasm for yield and other characteristics, such as insect resistance, disease resistance, and drought tolerance, by initiating work at additional field sites including but not limited to Carrington, ND, Prosper, ND, and Highmore, SD. The germplasms tested will contain genes for high yield, high oil, and special traits such as high oleic acid constitution, Sclerotinia resistance, downy mildew resistance, rust resistance, and resistance to various insect pests including the sunflower moth, the banded sunflower moth, the red sunflower seed weevil, the stem weevil, and the Dectes stem borer. Many of these special traits cannot be tested at our current work sites because the sites lack consistent infestation, a problem that would be overcome by additional testing sites. These sites are also more typical of the sunflower production region. The funding discussed in this agreement will support this research by providing assistance to defray increased travel costs, additional supply costs, and costs associated with a full-time Term technician and part-time student to help manage the additional sites and workload.
