The Nebraska Department of Revenue says it will allow farmers and ranchers to file taxes later than usual without any penalty.
The department said on Monday that it's recognizing the IRS' recent decision to extend the filing date to April 15. Farmers and ranchers normally file their taxes by March 1 to avoid penalties.
The IRS says delays in Congress caused the agency to need more time to finalize federal tax forms farmers and ranchers use.
Farmers and ranchers filing the state individual income tax return and individual underpayment of estimated tax forms are eligible for the extension, but must check the farmer/rancher box on the tax return form.

After Labor Day: A Look at Airline Capacity Cuts
Travelers have long been told that airlines will cut flights after Labor Day, as the industry moves to boost ticket prices in hopes of off-setting fuel costs that — while down from their July heights — remain elevated.
Well, here we are after Labor Day. So how about a refresher course on exactly which airlines are planning to cut what? Here's the deal, according to an Associated Press report out this week:
AirTran Airways: Plans to cut 7% to 8% between September and December.
Alaska: Its parent company has said the carrier's fourth-quarter mainline capacity will be cut by 5% compared with 2007.
American: U.S. flights by up to 12% after the summer.
Continental: Plans include reducing flights in the U.S. this fall by about 10%.
Delta: Has said it intends to cut domestic capacity by 13% during the second half of the year. A spokeswoman said a good portion of that would come during the fall.
JetBlue: It has said it expects September capacity to be down 10% and does not expect to grow next year.
Northwest: It is planning to cut fourth-quarter consolidated domestic capacity by 7% to 8%.
United: Fourth-quarter mainline domestic capacity will shrink 16 percent compared with the previous year.
US Airways: It will reduce capacity 6% to 8% on domestic flights in the fourth quarter.
Granted, fliers are more curious about the fare trend for a particular flight, not overall moves in the number of seats airlines are willing to shoehorn into — or pull out of — the sky.
Fare-wise, there's not too much we can tell you with certainty right now. Two sources the Terminal frequently queries with fare questions — FareCompare's Rick Seaney and Tom Parsons of Bestfares.com — talked to the Associated Press for a story out today. And, as we sometimes have found with these two, they're not exactly in agreement.
Tom Parsons of Bestfares.com, said recently he believes that fares could fall early next year because discounter Southwest has already published its schedule and fares for that period. But Seaney said any fare decreases by major carriers would be limited to routes they compete on against Southwest. And Parsons said he believes other airlines will probably again charge higher fares for travel after March of next year.
A separate report, in USA Today cited numbers from Travelocity.com, which said "the average domestic round-trip airfare booked so far on its site for flights from Nov. 1 through Feb. 28, 2009, is up nearly 16% year-over-year. Travelocity says the average booked fare this winter is up 27% to New York's three major airports, up 25% to Dallas/Fort Worth, up 22% to Atlanta, up 21% to Chicago and up 30% to Boston."
So that's what the experts have to say. But what about you, fliers? Any surprising upticks in ticket prices lately?

Thanks for posting this! I had a lot of fun exploring the similarities (and differences) of early Unix and the Unix-likes I've worked with under CLI, like Linux and NetBSD.
There is a typo in your "More photos on SIMH site" link. Should be http://simh.trailing-edge.com/photos.html .
Beyond that: awesome! I look forward to playing with this.
If I boot V7 on pdp11 (SIMH), like so:

Is there any way to import or export data? Any tool to handle the .dsk image files?

Are you planning on traveling with your newborn? Here are some tips to follow if you are going to grab a bite to eat at a restaurant or staying in a hotel.
Note: Keep in mind that the doctor may recommend that your baby avoids crowds if he or she is younger than three months old. This is because a newborn's immune system is not fully developed yet, so colds and other infections are more likely. Before you plan your baby's first trip, it is a good idea to talk to the doctor to be sure that it is safe.
If you are planning to go into a restaurant with your baby:
Are you planning on staying in a hotel room? If so, here are some tips for your baby's first night away from home:
As you get more adapted to traveling with your baby, going out to eat or staying somewhere outside of home will be more comfortable for you and your baby. The most important point to remember is to be prepared by packing the supplies that you will need to take care of your little one.

Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 20 mins
These are very moist and flavorful.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 12 boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons garlic, MINCED
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 2 green onions, minced
- 1⁄4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1⁄4 cup hoisin sauce
- 1⁄4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- Combine ingredients and marinate chicken thighs at least overnight.
- Grill until done.
Most Helpful
These thighs were fabulous. The whole family loved them. I was so happy to see them in the ZWT cookbook, because seeing the pic on the home page I'd already decided to make them! I left out the cilantro because I don't like it, and I boiled the sauce and used it with the chicken when served, as sky hostess recommended. We will make this recipe often, thanks for posting and sharing it!
This chicken is fantastic! I marinated it about 24 hours. The only change I made was to cut the red pepper flakes to 1/2 tsp. Oh! and don't throw that marinade away! I boiled it for a few minutes after we threw the chicken on the grill. I then strained it and we used the smooth sauce to top the chicken. Hubby loved it! Thanks for posting.
LOVED this Vicki, thanks for sharing. I used chicken breasts and threaded them on metal skewers. Next time I will make thicker strips (cut into 3 long strips) instead of the thinner "typical" satay style. They grill quickly so take care not to let them over cook & dry out. I also boiled the marinade and served as a dipping sauce for the chicken & sauce for the rice. Marinated for 3 hours and that worked beautifully. Served with basmati rice, grilled pineapple, and Thai Cucumber Salad a perfect summertime meal.

Bruce R. Harvie, 60
Published: Sunday, July 1, 2012 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, June 30, 2012 at 3:02 p.m.
Bruce Russell Harvie, 60, of Hendersonville, NC, died Wednesday June 27, 2012 at his residence following a lengthy illness.
Mr. Harvie was born July 12, 1951 in Monticello, NY to the late Donald Edwin Harvie and Gussie Sclar Harvie. A graduate of the University of Florida in 1976 with a BA in Political Science, Mr. Harvie was an avid Florida Gators football fan.
He enjoyed reading, studying history, watching old movies on TCM and the Western Channel, and playing along with Jeopardy. Bruce never met a stranger. He had a wonderful sense of humor and an amazing laugh. He met his future wife in 1972 after delivering a pizza to her college dorm. They were married six months later and would have celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary on August 14, 2012.
Mr. Harvie was a pest control technician, but retired early due to declining health. Bruce was an inspiration to others throughout his illness. He set an example by maintaining his positive attitude. No matter what was thrown at him, he never complained. He touched the lives of everyone who was lucky enough to have known him. He will be dearly missed.
He will be inurned in a columbarium niche on the campus of the University of Florida, in Gainesville at a later date.
He is survived by his loving wife Karen K. Harvie, two sons Duncan Harvie and his wife Fatimah Naji-Harvie of Gainesville, Fl and Matt Harvie and his wife Darlene Harvie of Hendersonville, NC. One granddaughter Yasmin Harvie of Gainesville, FL. Brothers, Dr. Keith Harvie (Betty) of Albuquerque, NM, Glen Harvie (Marilyn) of Lake Worth, FL and Wayne Harvie (Cynthia) of Brawley, CA. 4 nieces 2 nephews and other extended family.
The family extends a special thanks to Susan and Denise with Care Partners and other staff members at Four Seasons Hospice and Palliative Care for the special care given in their time of need.
Memorial donations, in Mr. Harvie's name, may be directed to the American Kidney Fund, 11921 Rockville Pike, Suite 300, Rockville, MD 20852

The FCC certified DISH Network Sept. 1 as a qualified carrier under the Satellite Television Extension and Localism Act (STELA) of 2010, opening the way for the satellite TV service provider to retransmit out-of-market TV stations indefinitely to eligible subscribers.
By issuing the certification, the FCC provided DISH with a means to receive a permanent waiver of a court injunction preventing it from offering the stations to fill in network channels in markets where no local broadcaster transmits the channels.
In 2006, a court permanently enjoined DISH's former parent company EchoStar from offering distant TV signals. However, a provision of STELA enacted in the spring allowed for a temporary injunction waiver, which expires Sept. 29. It also gave the DBS broadcaster a way to seek permanent relief.
On June 30, the company filed for the certification, telling the commission it had begun satisfying three conditions setup under STELA to be designated a qualified carrier. As a qualified carrier, DISH can obtain an indefinite waiver of the injunction.
The company filed extensive documentation with the commission to demonstrate compliance with the three conditions, which include:
During the comment period regarding the certification, Delmarva Broadcast Service, the operator of WMDT-TV, Salisbury, MD, told the commission it should not grant the certification because it has not reached a retransmission consent agreement with DISH allowing the DBS operator to transmit the channel. The commission did not find merit in the objection.
"The lack of any relevant objection to the certification, and the absence of any evidence that DISH has failed to provide local service, as defined by STELA, in all 210 markets, supports DISH's extensive filing," the order said.

On Monday, former middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik informed trainer Jack Lowe of his decision to pull out of Saturday's fight against Darryl Cunningham over the money he was offered to face IBF super middleweight titleholder Lucian Bute in a fall bout.
On Tuesday morning, at about 11, Pavlik's promoter, Top Rank, informed Showtime officials of the fighter's move, which forced the network to cancel an entire card that was to take place in Pavlik's hometown of Youngstown, Ohio.
On Tuesday evening, even in the face of worldwide media criticism, the 29-year-old Pavlik defiantly defended his actions to the point of asserting on a MaxBoxing.com radio show that while he remains among the sport's most popular fighters he also is one of its most abused and underpaid by his promoters.
Below are some of the highlights of Pavlik's interview with moderator Alec Kohut, who, like Pavlik, is a Youngstown native.
Pavlik on his notoriety as a fighter: "They can say what they want to say. In my opinion, if I pick my nose at a red light, everybody talks about it. Kelly Pavlik is still one of the biggest names in boxing. It is."
On his belief that Denmark's Mikkel Kessler turned down a larger offer to face Bute than he accepted: "You go and offer Mikkel Kessler $3 million and you turn back around and go and offer me $1 million? Now, I have not known … until a week ago the amount of money that I was getting paid in Youngstown and the amount of money that I was getting paid to fight Bute in Canada.
"If I was fighting Bute in Atlantic City, I would fight him for $1.1 (million). But I've got to (go to Canada) and put the guy on a stretcher to win that fight. So for me to go over there, it's kind of like Top Rank cashing in on me. You know? Like, 'We're going to go and make our money off of him, and we're done with him, and that's it.'"
On why he can afford to turn down Cunningham and Bute: "You know what? I don't need the money. I don't. I've made enough money in my career. I'm smart. I'm not like any other yahoo. I don't go and blow it on jewelry and clothes and cars. I'm living happily ever after right now. I would rather retire before I sell my career short.
"Some of my handlers, where they're getting like $130,000, they're happy with that. They're good, you know? But I look at the big picture and the bigger money and everything else. But I don't need the money where I've got to sell my career and my soul short."
On the succession of payments he's received over his past three fights leading up to Cunningham: "… You paid me $350,000 to fight Miguel Espino at Beeghly Center in Youngstown. … You paid me $1.5 [million] to fight (Marco Antonio) Rubio at the Chevrolet Center. You paid me $3 million just to jump up two weight classes to fight Bernard Hopkins at light heavyweight. And then you turn back around and tell me I'm making $50,000 to fight a southpaw [Cunningham] on five weeks' notice?
"That's not going to happen. So everybody thinks right now, 'Oh, hey, you pulled out because of personal problems, this, that.' No, I pulled out because I don't need to fight no more. I will retire. I don't need to fight. I don't need the money that badly."
On what he would say to disappointed Youngstown fans who perceive $1 million to be a lot of money to turn down: "It's not about fighting for Youngstown. It's about me. It's like anybody who works hard on their job. I mean, my job is to go and get punched in the face and to get paid for a living and to get beat up."
On his marketability compared to Kessler's: "My name is bigger than Mikkel Kessler's, believe it or not. If you go on the internet and you look at every boxing site and everything else, every time Kelly Pavlik's name comes up, it's big. You mean that you're going to tell me right now that you're going to draw 25,000 or 20,000 people in Canada in Montreal and in (Bute's) home town, and you're only going to offer me $1 million?
"And then we had to negotiate to get to $1.35 (million). I mean, come on, you're offering Mikkel Kessler $3 million? My name is better than Mikkel Kessler's. We can argue that. We can take a poll if you want. And if it's not as big, then it's close."
On his perception that he has been underpaid by Top Rank: "I've gotten robbed during a lot of parts of my career, and I'm just tired of doing it. Top Rank can say, 'Ah, well you ain't got the heart to fight no more,' but I do. But make it worth it."
On the straw that broke the camel's back: "I found out about a week ago that they were paying me 50 grand for this fight. OK? I'm sparring with a right-hander who is turning southpaw. Then they tell me what the offer was for Bute. They told me, 'Hey, you're going to make $1.1 [million].'
"Now, I still have not got a fight contract for this fight coming up. Now I'm a week out and I still haven't got a fight contract. Now my agent's going to send me a contract over and he tells me, 'You got 20 hours to turn it back in. If you don't turn it back in within 20 hours, the fight's off.'
So my attorney and my accountant don't have time to look at the contract. And this is what happens all the time in my career. So I'm tired of it. I'm not playing the game no more. It's over, and I don't need to fight no more. … I still don't have a fight contract for this fight that was coming up, which was only a week away. I have nothing. No paper. I have no idea what's going on."
On the perception that issues with alcohol — he was released in January following a two-month stay at the Betty Ford clinic — were a factor in his pulling out of the fights: "Like people say, 'He's out drinking, and he's on the sauce, and he's doing this and he's doing that.' But look, I haven't lost any money. I don't lose money and I don't need to fight no more. Until I get the fights that I want, and I mean the big fights, and they pay me what I'm worth, then I'll take them."
On his abilities as a fighter: "I'm still ready to go. I'm still ready to win a world title. The bottom line is, I want to fight for the money, though. Just show me where it's at. At this point in my career, after all that I've been through, show me where the money's at."
On the notion that Top Rank is trying to "cash out" on his career: "What they're trying to do is cash out. They're saving the money. They want to pay me $1.1 (million). The $3 million is there, but that's what they're cashing out on. I'm not going to go to Canada and get beat so that Top Rank can cash out on me. I'm not doing that.
"That's stupid. I'm selling myself short by doing that. They're saving their money. They're going to say, 'You know what? We're going to pocket $2 million. He's going to lose the fight, and we're done with him and that's it.' That's how it works."
Where he will be six months from now: "Kelly Pavlik is going to be ready to fight Carl Froch or one of the top guys and then get back to the world title. But I don't want to say under my circumstances, because I have no world title and no ground to stand on. But at the same time, there has to be a middle. We have to meet somewhere.
"And you've got to pay me more money than that you're offering. … Kelly Pavlik is Kelly Pavlik. My name still draws. … You can't tell me that the money's not there and the draw is not there. I will draw people to a fight. So until I'm happy and I get what I deserve, then I'm not happy.
"Top Rank, right now, what they're telling me is that they're going to sit me. We're going to sit you right now and you're not going to fight. Well then, sit me. My contract is up in the air. I'm not hurt. So you really can't put it on me. By no means do I want to sit, but if that's what they're going to do, then that's what they're going to do.
"There is nothing I can do about it. … Hopefully, they won't. Hopefully, the fans want to see me fight. Hopefully Top Rank puts me in a fight. I'll fight whoever for a decent amount of money. … If you're going to put me in a world title fight, then pay me what I deserve.
"… I'm not Money Mayweather. I'm not asking for $20 million for every fight. If Top Rank wants to sit me for a year, then I'll sign with somebody else and I'll come back better than ever. I'm only 29 years old. … But I do have kids. I'm not trying to go out there and get my head beat in for nothing. That's my story."
On his support system: "I've got support from the people that matter to me. My wife and my parents and that's about it."
On the timing of his decision: "That's Top Rank's fault and that's my agent, Cameron Dunkin's, fault. Because if they would've told me two weeks ago or three weeks ago the amount of money and what they're paying me, then I would've said, 'You know what, I'm going to cancel the fight.' But you're going to let me know a week before?
"Because what they're thinking is, 'We'll tell him a week before and there's nothing he'll do about it. You know, he won't cancel the fight.' Well bulls–t. I called bulls–t on that. I will cancel the fight."

Mayhem # 736771
About Me
"If you don't jump off the cliff from time-to-time,
how will you know where the edge is?"
Sail, circa 1999
I moved in front of the camera lens and artist's easels not quite so recently--about a decade ago, give or
take a year. I am principally a Fine Art Nude model as this reflects my clothing-free lifestyle. Note, I am
not shy about modeling in clothes, so please feel free to ask; however, I will have to charge you double
for implied clothing or triple for fully clothed :-):-):-).
Regarding pricing, I have half day minimum rates plus travel & release considerations.
I will consider TF for any of the following:
Draft horses;
A case of 1989 or 1990 Ceregio Barolo;
Grandkids or popcorn..., your choice. :-)
Experience-wise, I have modeled at colleges and open and private studios in the figure/life studies,
both solo and with a partner. If you have an interest in modelling together, please drop me a message
anytime. I come across several modelling/acting jobs every year looking for particular looks and persona.
Chemistry is a must. All ages; however, I am particularly in need of partners 30-something and upwards.
Owing to my outdoor nature, I also have an affinity for environmental nudes.
Away from the camera I co-produce music festivals, have a speaker series
on Eyology and am a semi-professional handyman(need your studio or artist's
lofts renovated?). Behind the camera I have had somewhere around five
hundred photographs published as a freelance photojournalist.
Добрый день -- 你好 -- Góðan dag -- Buongiorno -- Saludos
Prior to all of this I obtained a B.A. in Russian and studied one, two or three
semesters worth of a dozen or so other languages before becoming an
international telephone operator for Ma Bell. That was about a quarter-plus
century ago. Yikes :-) Now I create 24/7.
If you're a figure model or have an interest in figure modelling drop me a note. I
reference models to several of the open drawing groups in Hampden & Hampshire
counties in Massachusetts as well as colleges and universities.
Thanks for stopping by. If you have a Fine Art Nude, Environmental Nude or
other concepts to discuss please contact me via MM.

Twitter Ranked as Second-Best Place to Work
Twitter has displaced Facebook the top tech employer, according to a new best-workplace list from Glassdoor, a website where employees rank their companies and employers list jobs. Tech companies occupy seven of the top 10 spots on the 2014 edition of the site's list.
Making its debut in the rankings, Twitter is listed as the second-best place to work in the U.S. Rival social networks LinkedIn and Facebook are ranked fourth and fifth respectively; in the prior rankings, Facebook was first. Software makers Guidewire and Intelligence" postfix=""] placed sixth and seventh, and Google landed at eighth. Orbitz Worldwide, the online travel services company, nabbed the ninth slot.
Glassdoor has produced its list for six years, using factors such as pay, benefits, cultural values, and promotion opportunity to determine rankings. Each year, tech firms are prominent in the list, a testament to common Silicon Valley perks such as free meals, stock options, high salaries, and in some cases on-site gyms and daycares.
The rankings are based on voluntary, anonymous reviews from employees. Twitter's ranking, for example, was based on submissions from 99 employees. To be considered for the survey, a company must have at least 1,000 employees, at least 50 of whom submit reviews. Glassdoor CEO Robert Hohman declined to say how many companies were included in the new survey.
Hohman said Twitter's ranking was not a surprise considering the company completed a multi-billion dollar IPO this year. He minimized Facebook's fall from first to fifth, which continued a trend of the world's largest social network bouncing around the rankings. Facebook debuted in 2011 as Glassdoor's top employer. It fell to 10th in 2012 and reclaimed the top spot on this year's list.
Next year's top-ranked employer is Bain and Co., the management-consulting firm where former Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney worked in the 70s and 80s.
In all, tech firms claimed 22 of the top 50 slots on the best-workplaces list. Semiconductor makers Qualcomm and Intel are 13th and 33rd, respectively. Apple is ranked 35th, eBay 49th and Salesforce.com 50th.

Fred Lasswell
|Fred Lasswell
In this imaginative self-caricature, Fred Lasswell showed how he has merged with his comic strip character, Snuffy Smith, who has taken over both his body and brain.
July 25, 1916
Kennett, Missouri
|March 4, 2001
(aged 84)
Tampa, Florida
Notable works
|Barney Google and Snuffy Smith
|National Cartoonists Society Humor Comic Strip Award, 1963
Reuben Award, 1963
Elzie Segar Award, 1984 & 1994
Fred Lasswell (July 25, 1916 – March 4, 2001) was an American cartoonist best known for his decades of work on the comic strip Barney Google and Snuffy Smith.
Born in Kennett, Missouri, he got his start as a sports cartoonist for the Tampa Daily Times. While playing golf in the area, Barney Google creator Billy DeBeck noticed Lasswell's work and hired the 17-year-old as an assistant. Lasswell worked closely with DeBeck for the next 18 years. DeBeck and Lasswell changed the focus of the urban-oriented strip when they introduced Google's hillbilly cousin Snuffy Smith in 1934.
After DeBeck's death from cancer in 1942, Lasswell took over Barney Google and Snuffy Smith. Under Lasswell's tenure, Barney was gradually phased out (although he did reappear occasionally), and the strip's emphasis shifted to Snuffy Smith and his rural setting. Lasswell also introduced his own characters, including Elviney Barlow, Parson Tuttle and Ol' Doc Pritchart.
World War II[edit]
During World War II, Lasswell served as a flight radio operator in Africa and was a staffer for Leatherneck Magazine, for which he created the comic strip Sgt. Hashmark.
Lasswell was a prolific inventor and early adopter of new technology. He was one of the first cartoonists to email his strips to his syndicate, King Features Syndicate, and to employ computer-generated lettering. In the early 1980s, he used a Macintosh II and a laserprinter to create a font that simulated his lettering style. A member of the American Society of Agricultural Engineers, he patented a citrus fruit harvester. In addition to devising a hypercard stack for computers and a bilingual laserdisc, he developed a method of Braille for reading comics when he created a comic book, This Is Charlie, in Braille. He also produced the video series Draw and Color with Uncle Fred.
Looking back at age 79[edit]
In 1996, Lasswell reflected on the increase of social commentary into comic strips:
- Now you have all these little messages all over the page. I feel like saying, "If they'll keep this stuff off the comics page, I promise to stay off the editorial page." I just try to do what tickles me. You can't go to school and take a course in sense of humor, and if you don't love this stuff, it gets to be just like chopping wood. It can be a real chore. I've always believed that creative talent gravitates to the marketplace. Someone told me once to always remember that there's never room at the bottom. But there's always room at the top.[1]
Lasswell lived for many years in Tampa, Florida. When he died in 2001, he was survived by his wife, Shirley, three sons and a daughter. Editorial cartoonist John R. Rose, who began as Lasswell's inking assistant in 1998, became the Snuffy Smith artist after Lasswell's death. Rose was the last of a number of art assistants that Lasswell had employed over the years. Cartoonist Bob Donovan had worked with him for the longest stretch,[2] but a few other notable cartoonists helped out as well including Fred Rhoads, known for work on Sad Sack for Harvey Comics, and also Archie Comics artists Tom Moore [3] and Nate Butler.[4] Margaret Shulock is one of the strip's uncredited writers.
Lasswell received the National Cartoonists Society Humor Comic Strip Award in 1963 and its Reuben Award, which had originally been named after DeBeck, that same year. He also received their Elzie Segar Award in 1984 and 1994.

Not only does the man's appearance lead to surprising revelations about bakery manager Tachibana and his past, but also triggers chef Ono's notorious "demonic charm."

Earlier this evening, New York Times political editor Carolyn Ryan started hinting that something big would be coming out in Monday's edition.
She seemed reluctant to give details, but hinted that it concerned "humanity".
She also couldn't confirm when the story would be posted.
At 8:45, she gave up.
But as time paused for Carolyn Ryan and Carrie Mathison, the Las Vegas Sun, a subscriber to the New York Times wire, found the story slug and eventually published the full piece on the Sun website around 8 pm.
It's an A1 feature on homeless children living in New York, and it's heartbreaking. The writer describes one shelter, where Dasani — an 11-year-old honor roll student — lives with more than 200 other children and their families.
Her family lives in the Auburn Family Residence, a decrepit city-run shelter for the homeless. It is a place where mold creeps up walls and roaches swarm, where feces and vomit plug communal toilets, where sexual predators have roamed and small children stand guard for their single mothers outside filthy showers.
It's an incredible story. But for some reason, only the Las Vegas Sun is reaping the benefits of Ryan's promotional tweets. Maybe the Times was waiting for the west coast airing of Homeland?
[Update 12:10 am] The Sun has pulled the story from its site and posted this message on its Facebook page.

One person was hospitalized and seven others were evacuated Friday after an ammonia leak at the Airgas distribution facility in Torrance, Fire Department officials said.
The leak was reported by 8:30 a.m., prompting an evacuation of the building at 2535 Del Amo Blvd., said Torrance Fire Capt. Bob Millea. One person was taken to Providence Little Company of Mary Medical Center in Torrance. The person's condition was not immediately reported.
"We smelled the ammonia when we got on the scene and confirmed it with our monitors," Millea said.

GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. — The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association has been pushing federal agencies for years to implement minimum, behind-the-wheel training standards for new truck drivers, yet no such regulations exist today and an association executive says regulators are not putting an emphasis on an area that will make trucking safer.
"Instead of relying on technology and making misguided, Hours of Service regulations changes, the focus should instead be on training standards for entry-level drivers," OOIDA Executive Vice President Todd Spencer said. "Despite orders from Congress in 1991, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has still not made training new drivers a priority."
The FMCSA revised HOS regulations about a year ago, and many in the industry have criticized the rationale behind the changes and question how much they will reduce truck crashes. The association receives many complaints from drivers that the changes have instead meant unintended consequences such as more time on the road and less time at home, Spencer said.
Fatigue is often cited as the reason for making such regulatory changes. But OOIDA disagrees with how the data is represented.
"Statistically, fatigue almost never is the cause of truck-related crashes and yet the data is grossly exaggerated to 30 or more percent," Spencer said.
According to statistics from FMCSA, fatigue is a factor in 1.8 percent of truck crashes and the percentage of fatal crashes involving trucks is about 10 percent. According to FMCSA, the fault of truck-related crashes falls mostly on passenger vehicle drivers. The 30 percent statistic on fatigue that is often cited in news articles is debunked in comments by the original report's author.
"Truckers are not causing the majority of highway crashes, but are unfairly blamed," said Spencer. "Most are doing their best to drive safely as hard-working individuals and should be recognized for the sacrifices they make and the contribution they make to the economy."
OOIDA has a website dedicated to highway safety, www.TruckersForSafety.com, and also participates in the Trucking Moves America Forward campaign.

By John M. McHughOctober 25, 2012
Good Morning.
Thank you, all, please.
[Introduction by General (Retired) Gordon R. Sullivan] It's with great pleasure that I welcome the Secretary of the Army, the Honorable John McHugh.
Thank you.
Gordon, I don't know if you can see or not, but I've got my Britney Spears microphone on here, and as Britney infamously said, "Oops, I did it again."
As many of you may know, this is the fourth opportunity, fourth honor, I've had to appear before this very august body, these marvelous opening ceremonies, and I think you have to admit, that's probably my most dramatic entrance yet. And I've been thinking really, really hard about a good story to match it; you know something along the lines of a hard landing after a jump with the Golden Knights…ill-advised entry in the Best Ranger Competition…something really Hooah. But, I have to be honest with you, there's no cool to say, "I fell off my bicycle."
It was a humbling moment. And if it wasn't, my dear friend and colleague Navy Secretary Ray Mabus certainly made it so when he came to my bedside at Walter Reed Bethesda and gave me a gift certificate for a set of training wheels. And I just want Ray to know, someday soon I hope, I'll return the favor. Maybe if he falls off one of his cute little boats, I can throw him a life raft. Maybe. No I will, I will. My aim's not as good as it once was, but I will. And truth be told, if the roles were reversed, I probably would have done much the same thing.
Now that I'm here, it's nice at last to have something of an advantage I've never had before, because usually, I'm over there standing while all of you are comfortably seated. And this is the first time I don't have to stand at a podium, so I just want to warn you, relax, because I might be here for a while.
So with that warning said, let me most importantly say thank you to Gordon Sullivan, to the great officers and folks of AUSA. Thank you, again, to each and every one of you for being here, for all that you do each and every day on behalf of our entire Army: our Soldiers, their families, our civilian employees. I can't tell you how much the effort that you bring and the support of that great Army is deeply appreciated.
And frankly, that's why I was so determined to be here today.
AUSA provides a critically important forum for the Army. A forum to share ideas, discuss critical issues that impact our future, and it gives us an important chance to spend some time listening -- listening and learning, not just from one another, not just from those within our ranks, but from those outside the Army who also know and care about us and have ideas and opinions that they wish to share to make us better. Now, you'll notice as you navigate the displays this year that the Army footprint is somewhat smaller. But I want to tell you that I firmly believe the impact of this get-together and the Army's driving value from it will be as great as ever.
And I also want to make very clear how valuable I personally consider this professional development forum to be for our Soldiers, family members and civilians. And that's why we're here. And that's why if you look into the front row this morning, you'll see great notables like Chief Ray Odierno, like my good friend and partner, Joe Westphal, the Undersecretary, Sergeant Major Chandler, the Sergeant Major of the Army, the civilian and military leaders who are here to show that they believe and value this organization as well. Now, while our footprint will be smaller, we are here and we've found ways to have people participate who matter. We've found ways to have even more people tele-participate, if I could coin a phrase.
Now, there's no question that forums and conferences in this town are rightfully under a lot of scrutiny. That's understandable. But often, the good gets mixed in with the not so good, the valuable sometimes mixed in with the less so. And I can't help but think that if other groups followed AUSA's lead -- if they opened their doors and not only invited, but encouraged, the media, the Congress, their staff, and other cross-sections of the public to participate as well -- all of us would be better off.
And there's a larger lesson here. Our reduced physical presence mandated by an imperative to find ways to do more with less is really a microcosm. It's a microcosm of a larger challenge and it's something I'd like to speak to you a bit about here this morning.
When the Chief and I go up as we often do together to Capitol Hill, whether it's before a national security official or defense committee, we often get asked a simple question at committee hearings, meetings with Congress, the media, etcetera. That question: What keeps you up at night?
Well, lately for me, that question's been pretty easy; if I roll over the wrong way, that keeps me up at night.
But, beyond that, it's not really that simple of a question, and it really requires a pretty complicated, even comprehensive answer.
And in the most basic terms, what keeps me up at night is our nation's economy. And how it already has and will continue to impact our budget. And for the Army, that means coming to terms with equal doses of reality and available resources. The reality is after more than 11 years of war, leaving one theater and now preparing to draw down in another, the Army is going to have to do its jobs with less. And the good news, as I mentioned last year, is I still believe very strongly, we can. And in fact, we've already started.
As I mentioned also at our last gathering, this isn't something that was simply dropped on our doorstep, something put upon us by sudden fluctuations in the stock market; the truth is, we've seen this day coming for some time. Most importantly, we've been given the opportunity and the time to get it right -- to plan, to prioritize and adjust force structure, equipment and training -- and we're doing it. We're also better integrating our reserve forces. Since America was first attacked in 2001, one of the most important things we've learned is how critical an operational reserve is to our ability to meet mission requirements. How we ensure that the reserve component -- both the Army Reserve and the National Guard -- remains a trained and ready force is paramount -- paramount -- to the Army's overall readiness and stability, and our nation's security.
And we're going to make sure we do that, and we do it right.
And on that point, I'd take this opportunity to announce a directive that I've signed that establishes a Total Force policy for the United States Army. Under this directive, we will man, train, equip active and reserve components in an integrated operational force. The purpose of it all is to provide predictable, recurring and sustainable capabilities. To put it another way, incorporating active and reserve components as a Total Force. This directive outlines a number of measures to make integration of those forces seamless: examining force structure options; establishing uniform processes and procedures for validating pre-deployment readiness; developing and implementing a unified personnel management and pay system; ensuring that our equipping strategy promotes procurement programs for a Total Force; facilitating opportunities for Soldiers to move between active and reserve component assignments throughout their careers; and ensuring equal standards for professional development.
The operational reality is we've been a total force for more than a decade now. And this effort will ensure that we incorporate the lessons learned of the last 11 years, and make certain that everyone -- everyone -- is trained and ready, regardless of the mission.
Now you didn't ask, but another thing that keeps me up at night is wondering whether we're doing enough to reduce the size and cost of bureaucracy, to ensure that we're not needlessly expending resources that could otherwise be used for training, be used for equipment, for properly sizing our force structure.
And last year I used this forum to announce the creation of the Institutional Army Task Force. I said at the time their mission wasn't just to help us do more with less; they were tasked to apply proven, workable, creative solutions to help us do better and do it with less.
Also last year, I announced we initiated steps to streamline how we did service contracts -- contracts that account for 21 cents of every dollar the Army spends. As a result, we created a single focal point at each command and staff element, consolidated requirements generation, and aligned subject matter experts. Where we once had some 260 thousand actions, awarded by 225 different offices, carried out by thousands of different people, we now have six portfolio management centers, consolidating nearly half of all service obligations. And this past year, that effort netted us more than $330 million in savings.
And I tell you, I think that's good. That's very good. But we have more we can -- and will -- do.
From headquarters realignment to human capital management, we're continuing a top-to-bottom review that will make our entire Army smarter and more cost efficient. And these are critically important measures, measures that will streamline our structure, improve our effectiveness and make us organizationally better.
But this is the Army. We don't succeed simply through bureaucracy, we don't prevail only through wise spending, as important as those things are. The heart and soul of America's Army is today what it was on the battlefields of the American Revolution: It is our people.
And what keeps me up at night, too -- honestly, more than anything else -- are not the numbers on a ledger. Not by a long shot. What keeps me up is wondering whether the service and sacrifice of the American soldier is not only appreciated, but really understood. And understood at its core.
We've talked before about the less than one percent in the nation who serve -- the percentage of the American population who wear the uniform of the American Soldier. And in that vein, we can never forget as well another less than one percent -- the families who support and who care for them.
Now, after I fell off my bicycle and I broke my pelvis, I spent a little over three weeks as an in-patient at Walter Reed. And like many of you, I've had an opportunity on numerous occasions to visit the old hospital and now its new Bethesda location to visit with our remarkable wounded warriors. But, for all those visits, this time I was, as a patient, afforded an added perspective. I and was struck more than ever not just by the resilience and the valor, the incredible courage of our wounded warriors, but equally by the devotion, the sacrifice and the courage of their family members and their loved ones.
It's an almost universal fact: Behind all of our men and women in uniform is that loved one: a father, or brother, a mother, a sister, husband and wife -- someone special to that Soldier. And when you see them visit day after day, providing encouragement and support; when you see, as I did many times, a young bride pushing the wheelchair of a limbless soldier and you see the love in their eyes and devotion on their faces -- not complaining, not a sign of self-pity, even though they've been asked to bear a burden that would test the will, maturity and loyalty of someone twice their age -- you can't say it any other way: It's awe inspiring. It's remarkable.
And I look at them and I wonder, do we fully recognize the sacrifice they bring? Do we really appreciate what we've asked of them and our Soldiers? Are we doing enough?
That's something. That's the most important thing that keeps me awake. And I bet it does many of you in this room as well. Making sure we do everything we can to treat the wounds of our Soldiers -- the battlefield injuries we can see, and equally important, the battlefield traumas we often don't.
The Chief and I appointed our Vice Chief of Staff, General Lloyd Austin, to head up our efforts on the Health of the Force. And the good General has traveled across the Army, meeting with Soldiers and caregivers, briefing leaders and listening to those in treatment, so that we can better develop programs and methods to improve the health and healthcare of the entire force -- whether it's their physical or their mental well-being.
It keeps me awake knowing how many young lives we've lost to suicide, and determining whether we're doing enough -- or can ever do enough -- to see the warning signs, to reach out, to help, and intervene.
For more than two years, I've served as public-sector co-chair of the National Alliance for Suicide Prevention. My partner in this effort, the private sector co-chair, is former United States Senator Gordon Smith, an individual who lost his own son to suicide. And as I've sat through those meetings with dozens upon dozens of public and private organizations, I've come to know this: Suicide is important -- critically important -- to the military and the Army, but it's not unique just to us. Across the United States, in virtually every demographic group, there has been an increase in the rate and number of suicides every year for ten years.
We have to find solutions, we have to work together to make a difference.
Now, there's a lot of other things that keep me up at night, but before you think I need a sleep therapist, I'd just simply close with this thought from former Chief of Staff Creighton Abrams.
Abrams noted that people are the Army. And I'll quote here, "By people," he said. "I do not mean personnel. I do not mean end strength. I mean living, breathing, serving human beings. They have needs and interests and desires. They have spirit and will, and strength and abilities. "They have weaknesses and faults; and they have names. They are the heart of our preparedness…and this preparedness -- as a nation and as an Army -- depends upon the spirit of our soldiers. It is that spirit that gives the Army…life."
Yep, there are a lot of things that keep me awake at night; but there is something that always is stronger, something that always helps me sleep easier: It is the indomitable spirit, the selfless service, the remarkable courage of the American Soldier -- the strength of the Army, the strength of our Nation.
And that's why it's important for all of us to be here. That's why these kinds of events are critical. Because they bring together individuals and organizations who care about the American Soldier, who deeply value and appreciate all they have achieved on our behalf. And are willing to continue to fight for them in the future -- as they have fought and won for us.
So thank you. God bless you all. God bless this great nation and this glorious Army who keeps her safe.

PitBull4 is a continuation of PitBull.
Differences from PitBull 3:
- It's mostly done, but not entirely done thus why there are still only betas (despite this it is still very stable).
- Documentation is written before functions
- Much easier for third-party extensions.
- Options will be much, much simpler. In 3.0, there's about 200 panels that you can mess with, it's overwhelming. I want to bring this down to somewhere around 10.
- Layouts are defined deterministically and unit groups use the layout rather than ad-hoc layouts on a per-unit basis. This will make setting up your unit frames far, far easier.
- Due to some decisions made, 4.0 is actually more configurable than 3.0. As a layout designer, you will have a lot more control over how things look. You can have different fonts on the same frame, different textures, more precise positioning, and a whole slough of other things.
- CPU Efficiency will be taken much more seriously.
- It uses Ace3 instead of Rock.

So far Pitbull 4 is much easier to configure and it's usable as is(Unless you raid, no raid frames, "yet"). Back in early August, before quitting World of Warcraft for Warhammer, I redid my UI and it took me almost two weeks to get Pitbull set up exactly how I wanted it. I recently started playing WoW again as of two days ago and I set up my unit frames exactly the way I had them before in less than 3 hours! Talk about an improvement! Keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to a completed version of Pitbull 4.0.

any word on when raid frames will be implemented. not really totally usable until you can set up raid frames - that it will be such an improvement over pitbull 3.0

Amazing!! I love the changes from PB3. Much easier to configure. Can't wait for raid frames
Couple of things.. my rune icons on my DK are not moveable - I like my player icon in the lower/centre part of my UI, the Rune CD icons seem stuck at the blizzard UI location.
silkfire Jan 12, 2009 at 22:10 UTC - 0 likes
Still some stuff missing:
Make an option for FrameStrata, PitBull obscures Blizzard's DK rune bar, maybe put PB one level down?
Be able to remove non-mana/energy bar at Target (NPCs for example.)
Make padding/spacing smaller between portrait and the rest.
Portrait still suffers from that some NPCs are shown fullbody. Add a customizable list so one can edit which NPCs need a fullBody setting in order to show correctly.
Colors! I miss the ability to change the color of the mana bar.

Mûre et Musc Extrême is an epicurean delight, an eau de parfum originally created for Mûre et Musc fans who wanted a more intense interpretation of the trademark blackberry and musk notes. The result is a more intense red fruit aura with blackcurrant added to amplify the potency of the rich dark blackberry note. Still as sensual as ever, but deeper and more narcotic. Perfect for all day wear, or special simmering evenings.

Have you ever gotten in an argument with a friend because they don't recycle? I have. What about made fun of someone for being so materialistic and never saving their money? Yep, I've done that too. All of these arguments and shallow remarks resulted from an attempt to get someone to change – to see the light (my light!) and commit to a more sustainable life. Guess how many times it's worked? Yep…none. How many times has it worked for you?
When we feel passionately about something, it's natural to want others to be just as excited as we are. We want everyone to know how great it feels to save money and do something positive for the environment. However, as we all learn growing up, the world does not revolve around us and not everybody shares our passions in the same way we do. Sometimes this angers us. Sometimes it can lead to the kind of arguments mentioned above. Almost every time, it seems to lead to a strained relationship and a missed opportunity.
One major lesson I've learned over the years is that when it comes to building relationships and being influential, it's all about "them," not "you." You must give to get. There is no way around it. When you give people what they want and, more importantly, what they need, you get back without ever having to ask. So, if you're trying to convince your friend, partner, or family member to adopt some of your frugally green characteristics, what can you do to give them the things they need in order to make such a change? After some reflection, I've identified 3 major tactics that you can use in any situation to amicably foster a change in someone.
"Seek first to understand, then to be understood."
When we argue unrelentingly, what are we really trying to accomplish? I know that most of the time when I'm arguing, I don't really expect the person on the other side to concede defeat, but I usually want them to express that they understand my position. If they don't admit that they understand where I'm coming from, I feel like I've failed in explaining my position. But, in order to get someone to understand where you're coming from – to effectively communicate your position – you must know how someone is willing to receive it. This is something that can quickly be learned by listening (really listening) to how that person feels about your position.
But it's not just listening to words, it's listening to how their spoken. It's watching their body language for clues about how they feel. It's all of these things and it's all at once. By really paying attention to someone when they're talking (and when they're listening), you can quickly pick up how they're reacting and tailor your communication in a way that they are comfortable with. I have a friend who doesn't recycle. I can't tell you how many times I've ribbed him about it only to end up in a little argument that didn't go anywhere. I later found out that he actually wanted to recycle, but he was scared to start because he'd never learned how. Turns out we were continuously arguing about the wrong thing!
Help remove passive barriers
So let's say you employed all of your stellar listening skills and were able to find some common ground. Your work is not done! In the the example above, my friend wanted to change, but he didn't know how. I think everyone experiences a time in their life when they desire to change something about themselves, but fail to do so, at least at first, due to some perceived barrier. Most commonly, this is knowledge. Looking at my situation, my buddy wanted to recycle, but he never learned how. He actually feared recycling because he'd heard that when something non-recyclable accidentally gets mixed in, the whole batch gets thrown away. He was afraid that if he just started, he would do more harm than good and he didn't know where to learn. He'd also remembered hearing people complain about how complicated it was years ago to sort everything properly. Luckily, he had a friend that was more than capable of getting him up and running with his own, simple, recycling plan. Once he realized how easy it was, his attitude towards it changed completely. If I had just written him off as lazy or uncaring, I'd still be arguing (or no longer speaking!) with him. And to think, this could have been resolved ages ago if I had just paid a little more attention.
So often we don't change something we know we need to because of a trivial barrier that we set up for ourselves. "I would buy compact florescent bulbs, but they're so expensive!" "Air drying my laundry makes my socks crunchy! I hate crunchy socks!" There are so many easy ways to work around these inconveniences. By focusing on the problem rather than the solution, we allow ourselves to continue to ignore what we know is the right thing to do. Any chance you get to genuinely help someone work through barriers like these is just as much an opportunity for us as it is them.
Empower, don't belittle
When you resort to personal attacks, there is only one outcome that can be confidently predicted: absolutely nothing will change. This is the fastest way to make sure that nobody benefits from any dialogue. What is your natural reaction to being insulted? If you're like most, it's either to flare up and respond in kind, taking offense to every word, or to clam up, refusing to speak and trying your damnedest to tune out whatever your attacker is saying. Either way, it's the end of any useful conversation.
People are receptive, interested in what you're saying, and willing to change when you instill excitement in them about an opportunity. Would you want to take someone's advice who said you were too stupid and lazy to? What if they pointed out that you're too smart and driven not to? Which scenario would cause you to be more receptive?
What it all boils down to
When you look at what these points boil down to, you could say that these are things we all learned when we were 5. That's very true. For some reason, though, it's very common for this advice to get misplaced, perhaps by the tasks and worries that escalate as we develop into adults. For some, these concepts disappear completely by the time adulthood arrives. It's never too late to refresh ourselves on this and remember that those who have made the largest contributions to mankind were often also the most humble. When we focus on taking care of others, others will take care of us.
So, the next time someone mentions that they drive a big SUV or buy new clothes every month, don't put them down. Don't tell them how much better your gas mileage is on your bicycle or that you only shop at the thrift store. That doesn't help them at all. Instead, ask them questions. Find out what makes them tick. Then, explain why you do what you do and present opportunities based on what you've learned about them. You have to build relationships before you can effect change.
