New approaches to 'Automatic Editing'
2 Comments · Posted by Philip in Interesting Technology, Item of Interest, Technology
A recent articles, and project, demonstrate an increasing trend to automate certain types of production: generally that which is highly predictable. One example uses new technology to build news videos from text articles; the other builds multiple videos based on the same XML template.
These types of technologies are but another in a series of developments on templatorization or automatic editing. Naturally, at the heart of all automated processes is metadata.
Why I'm a 4K Convert for Acquisition!
Comments off · Posted by Philip in Interesting Technology, Lunch
For the Lunch with Philip and Greg project we shoot 4K and extract 1080 out of the larger image (or scale the image down). Working on the edit of the next to be published, this very moment shows why I find a big advantage in 4K for acquisition.
You can see from the multicam thumbnail why I wanted to crop this image, even though the shot on Greg is the best choice for that moment. And yes, cutting around eating is one of the early challenges of this project. We're developing better strategies as we gain experience.

AVFoundation gets massive upgrade in Yosemite
15 Comments · Posted by Philip in Apple, Apple Pro Apps, Interesting Technology
As Final Cut Pro X – and other modern video apps – are built on Frameworks from the core OS, those Frameworks sometimes provide clues to Apple's thinking. One that we care a lot about is AVFoundation, which is the modern replacement for QuickTime at the application and OS level. We've seen this in the transition from QuickTime Player 7, which is built on QuickTime (both QTKit and the older C API). Unfortunately AVFoundation has lacked many features that are essential for video workflows, so I watch the features added to AVFoundation as a way of understanding where video apps might go.
Firstly, there has been a massive update to AVFoundation in Yosemite, and it appears we get reference movies back.
Drones are becoming more automated!
Comments off · Posted by Philip in Interesting Technology, The Technology of Production
This news item caught my eye.
"DJI has expanded the feature set of the Phantom 2 Quadcopter line by giving it the ability to map out a route and automatically fly it. Using Ground Station, shooters will be able to create a route full of way points in order to let the quadcopter fly automatically from one point to another, and allow the shooter to concentrate on getting the shot. And it's just what the pilot ordered."
It reminded me of some of my thoughts on – what I was then calling a quadcopter but would now be a drone – how these flying camera platforms were going to evolve.
NAB Wrap-up: The Genius of DaVinci Resolve 11
6 Comments · Posted by Philip in Interesting Technology, Lumberjack
One of the most interesting NAB announcements was the addition of some 70 additional editorial tools to DaVinci Resolve 11. This makes Resolve a very competent on-set DIT tool, a full featured NLE, and a world-class finishing tool. Mostly for FREE. What is interesting here is how this is likely to play out in the long term.
Resolve gets GPU Debayering
Comments off · Posted by Philip in Interesting Technology
The latest release of Resolve – 10.1.3 – includes this gem:
- GPU debayer Preferences option for REDCODE RAW clips
I think it's inevitable that NLEs also get this GPU capability, which allows debayering of RED RAW files on the GPU instead of needing a RED Rocket card for the task. Already Premiere Pro uses the GPU for debayering for Cinema DNG files, so I see a trend coming.
In fact Adobe's David Hemly teased a real-time GPU debayer as part of a March Technology Preview. (Toward the end). Technology previews are not guaranteed to be part of a future release, but they always have been in the past!
Software that recognizes mood!
Comments off · Posted by Philip in Interesting Technology
Software that recognizes mood is apparently used in call centers – could be used to derive metadata for pre-post logging (and story derivation). Imagine a keyword collection for "happy" or "stressed" or whatever mood happens to be demonstrate in the audio content. I'm not sure if the technologies are related but Affectiva have demonstrated emotion-detecting software in the past.
With speech-to-text, keyword extraction, mood extraction the basic logging of reality and documentary could be done in pre-post and handed to the editor.
Lumberjack at the Hollywood Post Alliance Retreat Demo Room
6 Comments · Posted by Philip in Assisted Editing, Interesting Technology, Metadata, Video Technology
After Terry Curren's round up of last year's Hollywood Post Alliance Retreat I decided I should attend this year. While I was working on marketing for Lumberjack – our real time location logging tool – I got an email from the HPA offering spaces in the demo room during the retreat. It was immediately obvious that this was the time and place to reveal what we've been working for the last 8-9 months.
What does the human bring?
6 Comments · Posted by Philip in Assisted Editing, Interesting Technology, The Technology of Production
I have a strong interest – personally and professionally – to want to automate the boring parts of post-production away from humans to computers, extending to some of the basic string-outs. This seems to infringe on the "human" role in postproduction, at least according to some of my associates. Well, lately I've come across a whole range of stories on how traditionally human roles, like doctors (and assistant editors), can or will be automated out of existence. That's led me to think about what is the essential role of the human that can't be automated? It's not a simple question. (more…)

Excellent impact sockets
By Workinonit
from Bel Air
About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
Comments about Pittsburgh Professional 13 Pc 1/2 in. Drive Metric Impact Socket Set:
These sockets are great for working on Jeep brakes and suspension. They are not so thick that you are unable to get them in between links and shocks and cables and whatever else. They're also as strong as you need them to be.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Nice socket set
By Autotech
from San Bernardino County
About Me Professional
Well made and Thin Wall Impact Socket Set. I prefer this set over the very thick mainland made impact mancrafts set. And as a plus this set was still made in Taiwan not mainland. The made in mainland are coming near you. So grab them before is too late, I went in person to make sure they where made in Taiwan.
I really like my
By Leatha
from Bowling Green, Ohio
I really like my metric impact socket set It was hard for me to work on my car when I did not have the tools thanks a lot
By Terry
from LA
Haven't used all of them but the ones I have, with a gun and one with a breaker bar, look none the worse. Believe they'll last for awhile. Great little investment here.
Tight Fiting. Made Strong
By urcme
from Phoenix
Well worth the price. Has held up under rigorous workloads.
Chrome Moly impact sockets
By pn
from eastern CT
Description of sockets confused, these are chrome moly as impact sockets are supposed to be, not chrome vanadium. Sockets fit well and are strong, well marked easy to read.An outstanding price. It would have been nice that the socket holder the sockets came on could be used for storage. But it was not to be. Outstanding verses overpriced impact sockets sold elsewhere.
Rock solid for daily use
By BeefyPeeg
from Rockford, IL
I am a suspension and brake technician and use these daily. I was a little hesitant at first given the overall quality of some of the other Pittsburgh stuff, but these are rock solid sockets. For the price, I would definitely recommend.
Great for the price
By Jim the Runner
from Madison WI
Great impact sockets to use in the shop, great quality, only bad thing about it is the set is incomplete
Well worth it
By Dennis G
from Augusta,Ga
I bought these after only having deep impact sockets for years. Perfect addition to my set. I love the large easy to read sizes on each socket. Perfect! They are not thick walled like my older cheap set of deep sockets.
Plastic carrier is garbage
By Tool Nut
from Jackson NJ
That they came on a socket carrier seemed like a plus. Forget it. I just spent 20 min. getting the sockets off the rails. The retainer strip is removed by cutting a TINY tab behind each socket. There is a little drawing on the back that says cut but it looks like you are to cut the whole post. When I finally got the strip off, the sockets wouldn't come off the posts. I had to knock them off with a hammer and punch. They are not going to give you a ball and spring detent at this price so the plastic has a molded detent that is too tight to remove by hand and then wears out after a few uses. Just consider the holder as packaging and enjoy the sockets. Sockets should also have size stamped on. Etch is unreadable after a little greasy handling. They do work well, at a good price.

Introduction to Maps
Maps are used in different parts of our lives. We use a road map when we are traveling. We check the weather by taking a quick look at the weather map in the newspaper. Maps in the news show where current events are taking place. Maps are used in workplace documents to show a sales territory, delivery locations, or a school bus route.
Map reading is an important skill. On the GED Social Studies Test, your students will answer questions based on maps.

CAVE JUNCTION — Rescuers have pulled a man out of a ravine in Southern Oregon where he lay for two days.
Illinois Valley Fire Chief Dennis Hoke told the Grants Pass Daily Courier that the man was severely dehydrated when rescuers reached him this morning, and he was being put on a helicopter to fly him to a hospital.
Hoke says the man rolled about 300 feet down a steep slope near a remote road outside Cave Junction. The Courier described the location as near Bear Creek Road, about eight miles north of Caves Highway
The man was conscious and talking when rescuers reached him, but may have suffered back and neck injuries. His name was not immediately available.

A New Theory of Secularization
By Mary Eberstadt
Templeton Press, 2013
268 pages, $24.95
To order: (800) 621- 2736
Mary Eberstadt engages one of the most significant questions of our day in her latest book, How the West Really Lost God.
In her characteristically methodical fashion, and employing an impressive amount of research, Eberstadt adds new considerations to the debate over how and why Christianity has really come to decline in important parts of the West. Her argument remains intriguing until the last page.
She begins by establishing the timeliness of her examination, noting that, "some time back, the great majority of people living in what can still be called Western civilization believed in certain things: God created the world; he has a plan for humanity; he promises life everlasting to those who live by his word. … Today … no great majority continues to believe in all such particulars."
Eberstadt carefully reviews conventional explanations for secularization and their various weaknesses, before detailing her thesis that family decline and religious decline are connected.
She describes them as "the double helix of society, each dependent on the strength of the other for successful reproduction."
Contrary to the unspoken assumption that religious decline results in family decline, Eberstadt views these trends as dynamic. She provides much evidence for her argument that "the decline of the family has contributed to the decline of Christianity in more ways than one."
Her style of breaking down chapters, each of which focuses on a logical point in her argument, into italicized questions or summaries of ideas under consideration, makes the book easy to read. Eberstadt also anticipates questions readers might have and does not shy away from any of them.
Questions include: "How much did the Enlightenment, rationalism and scientific thinking have to do with the decline of Christianity?"; "Why has Christianity thrived in some places and times but not in others?"; "Why are married people with children more likely to go to church and to be religious than single people?"; and "Why are women more religious than men?"
Eberstadt draws on a wide range of experts, citing sociologists, demographers, historians, novelists and theologians, to substantiate her views. To establish her contention that Christianity is indeed diminishing, she quotes Ronald A. Lindsay, president of the Council for Secular Humanism, among others, who describes this decline as "unprecedented in the history of the world."
To illustrate the trend of the decline in traditional families, she presents an interesting and surprising statistic offered by sociologist Eric Klingenberg, who notes that one out of seven American adults live alone, and half of American adults are single. She also quotes Peter Laslett, author of the 1965 study "The World We Have Lost: England Before the Industrial Age," who writes, "Time was when the whole of life went forward in the family, in a circle of loved familiar faces. … That time has gone forever."
When Eberstadt analyzes how that time disappeared, she focuses on the introduction of contraception and clearly explains the consequences that acceptance of this new technology had for those churches that endorsed it.
Throughout the book, Eberstadt is careful to qualify her arguments. She limits her analysis to Christianity in Europe and other important areas of the West. She also states that, in offering "the Family Factor" as an explanation for today's trends, she is not discarding all previous explanations for secularization. Instead, she simply hopes to offer a new way of looking at the loss of religion and the traditional family.
The final chapters are devoted to an examination of the consequences of the trends Eberstadt has identified. She states at the beginning of the book that she strives to be objective in presenting her argument, and she is. She gives a balanced account of the consequences, proposing both a pessimistic as well as an optimistic view of the future.
Eberstadt succeeds in presenting an even-handed, interesting and comprehensive look at today's trends that leaves the reader with much to ponder.

Hydrogen fuel cells are currently powering stationary applications, backup power, buses, forklifts, and commercial fleets in municipalities across the country. In this webinar, participants will hear from organizations in states with top-performing hydrogen fuel cell projects and learn about how these states' local policies have increased the use of innovative fuel cell technologies. Participants will also see why fuel cell technologies can be a great choice for businesses, and what they can do to help foster growth of the fuel cell market.
- Public Technology Institute representative – moderator
- Pat Valente – executive director, Ohio Fuel Cell Coalition – will discuss business development, including promotion of the fuel cell manufacturing supply chain and potential sources of assistance and incentives.
- Jennifer Gangi – program director, Fuel Cells 2000 – will give an overview of successful state policies.
- Julia Donoho – major project architect, County of Sonoma, California – will talk about a 1.4 megawatt fuel cell operating in Sonoma County, California. This fuel cell is the largest in the state and is expected to save the county up to $50 million in energy costs over the next 30 years.
Get more information and register.
This webinar is part of a series designed to increase knowledge of fuel cell technologies and applications, identify best practices in state hydrogen and fuel cell programs and policies, and provide information and technical assistance to state policy leaders, state renewable energy programs, fuel cell organizations, and others involved in the development of effective hydrogen and fuel cell programs and policies.

Eyewitness News will be LIVE at the Big Bend Saltwater Classic this evening.
The Big Bend Saltwater Classic fishing tournament was launched in 1989 by The Organization for Artificial Reefs, Inc, (OAR), a private, non-profit, marine interest group based in Tallahassee. The tournament was started by the following individuals; Shawn Abbott, Ron Harrigan, Skip Hood, the late Dave Iacampo, Steve Leukanech, Jim Sapp, Frank Stephenson, and Quill Turk. The family oriented Tournament was intended to serve as OAR's primary fund-raising project.
Today, the Tournament is under the direct control of a non-paid board of directors, is incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida as The Big Bend Saltwater Classic Foundation, Inc, and is recognized by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. OAR our parent organization has been a 501(c)(3) organization since 1987. Currently, all of the proceeds derived from the event are used to expand and develop a system of artificial reefs in the Northeastern Gulf of Mexico, OAR's purview of operation.
With 223 anglers participating in the inaugural Tournament in 1989, the event quickly established itself as the largest professionally run fishing tournament in the Florida Big Bend Gulf Coast. With an average 700 competitors in recent years the Tournament ranks among the top saltwater fishing tournaments, by participation, according to Florida Sportsman Magazine.
The first tournament was held at Shield's Marina in St. Marks. This was changed in 1990 to Panacea Harbor Marina, then in 1991 the Moorings Marina in Carrabelle. In 2006, the Carrabelle Boat Club became the tournament headquarters. Since 1990, the Tournament has been a three-day event set on Father's Day Weekend. It is a rodeo format featuring multiple species in three divisions for competitive fishing for Juniors to Pros. The format has proven itself productive and inviting to participants and their families. The Bend Saltwater Classic is the Fishing Family's place to be on Father's Day Weekend in North Florida.

Posted by Randy Godfrey on 2/10/2009, 12:03 am, in reply to "Re: Need DMX decoder to digital not analogue"
My existing system (built many years ago) uses two parallel ports on a DOS computer - one to output the 8 bit address (yes a max of 255) and one for the 8 bit data. I already have the circuitry built that demuxes the 8 bit address into 8 outputs with 4 bit addresses and 8 bit data. I also have 5 boxes that demux these lines into eight 8 bit ports that, in turn, control the actual lights. If I had something that would output the first 8 bits of the DMX address, the 8 bit data, and a clock pulse to indicate data ready that would be the easiest for me to implement. Of course, having all 9 bits for the address would be even better but I have lived in the 8 bit address world for so long that I can live with it! Having consecutive channels with the start and clock bit would also be just fine as I don't mind building the interface from that to my existing circuits. I just wish I had the time to build my own DMX interface from scratch but ...

The Detroit Lions make the first pick in Saturday's NFL draft from New York at 4:10pm Saturday. The first two rounds are Saturday with rounds 3 through 7 on Sunday. The Lions also pick 20th and 33rd among the early selections.
They likely will choose from one of three players-- quarterback Matt Stafford of Georgia the favorite, offensive lineman Jason Smith of Baylor or linebacker Aaron Curry of Wake Forest. The Lions say they'll likely have their choice signed by Saturday and if that's the case it may well be Stafford. The Lions are apparently afraid if he gets away and is a star they will have blown it with the public again. The is a franchise desperately in need of some credibility. And when's the last time the Lions really had a good quarterback? I don't know how good Stafford is and I don't know whether they should take him or anyone else for that matter because every year they have needs at virtually all positions but place kicker.
But this about Stafford-- where would he go among quarterbacks next year? And four good ones come to mind who will be available from Tim Tebow, Colt McCoy, Sam Bradford and CMU's Dan LeFevour. Is Stafford as good as all four of those and if he is not the Lions could go away from Stafford and take a QB in the first round next year. If they don't take Stafford look for one of those four to be chosen by the Lions next year. And who makes the call for the Lions? The head coach? Lewand or Mayhew? Who does it and is that person qualified? The Lions don't tell us that information. But they've been disastrous with their picks in the past and now they can't blame it on Matt Millen anymore.

Sloppy - the slow proxy
Sloppy deliberately slows the transfer of data between client and server.
Example usage: you probably build web sites on your local network, which is fast. Using Sloppy is one way to get the "dial-up experience" of your work without the hassle of having to install a modem.

What Side Effects are Associated With Treatment?
Upset stomach, indigestion and headaches are the most common side effects of oral anti-inflammatory medications. However, taking these medications after meals or with food can help reduce stomach upset. Anti-inflammatory medicines also can cause vomiting, constipation and bleeding in the stomach (ulcers), although these side effects are not common.
Side effects of cortisone shots depend on the dose and frequency of the injections. Unlike cortisone pills, occasional cortisone injections rarely cause serious side effects. However, possible side effects of cortisone include elevated blood sugar, a decrease in the body's resistance to infection, weight gain, osteoporosis (thinning of the bones), thinning of the skin and raised blood pressure.

Ken Tschan of Cornerstone Arts Alliance could have chosen something Mamet. "American Buffalo" or "Glengarry Glen Ross," let's say. Instead, he chose something completely different and rare for a sparsely decorated two-man play, which will open Cornestone's 2013 season. He went with "Chinese Coffee."
Cornerstone isn't doing the completely expected, but it's certainly not alienating its prospective audiences. "Chinese Coffee," which opens this weekend at the Goshen Music Hall, is a studied adult drama attached to Al Pacino on Broadway and in film. It's smart but not over the edge.
"It's the type of play that Cornerstone likes to do," Tschan said. "It's an hour and 15 minutes long, it's rooted in the two characters, it's fast paced and it's funny."
It's about a writer and a visual artist; the former, needing money, attempts to cash in an old debt from the latter. That spirals into an evening of conversation about art, philosophy and friendship. And for the play, Tschan tried something wildly different.
"None of the play is blocked," he said, referring to the practice of positioning actors in scene to ensure the best viewing of the drama unfolding. "They're friends. They've both been in this apartment a million times, so organically, let's see where the words take the actors."
Tschan and BJ Boothe play the friends; "Chinese Coffee" runs through March 9. After that, Cornerstone tackles a handful of Civil War-era short plays, "I Remain ... Jane Austen," "The Merry Wives of Windsor" and the world premiere of "Sisters Under the Skin" by P. Paullette MacDougal. A children's performance of "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown" is sprinkled in, as is a teen drama workshop. After a successful first year, Cornerstone is quickly branching out, and offering opportunities for children is paramount.
"They're tomorrow's audience, they're going to be tomorrow's actors," Tschan said. "We want to culturally enrich the community and give them a venue where everybody belongs."

In this Jan. 18, 2013 photo, professional dancer Georges Exantus bathes as he prepares for a concert in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Exantus thought he'd never dance again. The earthquake three years ago in Haiti's capital flattened the apartment where he was living, where he spent three days trapped under a heap of jagged rubble. After friends dug him out, doctors amputated his right leg just below the knee. If some see him as something of an outcast, his friends find inspiration: He's not one for self-pity; he was determined to dance again, and did. He's part of a Latin dance company and gives classes.

Call it the Times Square effect. Digital photos, video, and high-resolution graphics are pushing the limits of desktop and other wide-screen monitors. Hiperwall specializes in so-called video walls, giant displays comprised of a dozen or more LCD monitors assembled together. The startup is aiming its platform at applications beyond marketing and entertainment, including trading floors, utilities, and command centers. --John Foley
HEADQUARTERS: Irvine, Calif.
PRODUCT: Software for creating "video walls" by distributing images across interconnected computer monitors
PRINCIPALS: Jeff Greenberg, CEO
INVESTORS: None; privately held
EARLY CUSTOMERS: Stanford University Medical School
BACKGROUND: Hiperwall is a spin-off of the University of California at Irvine. The technology was developed at UC Irvine's California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology, or Calit2.
A Hiperwall system can display a single image or multiple images, and users can move, zoom, and otherwise manipulate images on the wall. In addition, users can share the content of desktop PC screens--financial trading data or maps, for example--with other people in a room by displaying them on a wall. Target markets for the system include control rooms (for airlines and utilities, for example) and scientific and medical imaging.
However, the company has only a few employees, lacks venture capital or other funding, and has yet to land its first bona fide customer. Prospective customers should ask about overall cost and how Hiperwall will support its technology. Working in Hiperwall's favor is a recent OEM agreement with Samsung Electronics, which is now distributing and supporting the Hiperwall technology in its LCDs.

Phase Changes of Matter
Science is all around us!
Go to your freezer and pull out an ice cube. Go place the ice cube in a sunny spot outside. Observe what happens to the ice cube and ground for about 30 minutes. This is going to be what is called phase changes! What is the easy way to talk about that science term? You tell me!
Take a book or homework with you so you can multitask!
Read this article about the changing states of matter! As you read come up with an explanation of what the picture below means!
Here is the article!
A change of state is when a substance physically changes from one form to another.
The particles in a solid are tightly packed together, and just vibrate in place. However, when you add energy, or heat, the particles begin to heat up and move around a little bit more. This changes the states from a solid to a liquid. Then, if you add even more energy, or heat, the particles in the liquid begin to move more and more. Then, the particles are moving so fast they change from a liquid to a gas.
Melting: Solid to liquid
When a solid reaches its melting point, energy is absorbed and the atoms or molecules begin moving more. The melting point is the temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid. For example, a piece of ice melting in the hot sun.
Freezing: Liquid to Solid
Freezing is the reverse process of melting. The particles lose energy, and they become closer to each other. The temperature at which liquid changes to a solid is called the freezing point. The freezing and melting points for each substance occur at the same temperature. For example when you put water in the freezer and it becomes a solid piece of ice.
Vaporization: Liquids to Gases
Vaporization includes evaporation and boiling. Boiling is vaporization that occurs through a liquid. When heat, or energy, is added the particles begin to move more and more. Once they reach the boiling point, the point at which liquid boils, the liquid then turns into a gas and begins to evaporate. Evaporation occurs at the surface of a liquid. For example, when there is a puddle on the ground and then after a few hours of the sun shining on it the puddle is gone. That is evaporation.
Condensation: Gases to Liquid
Condensation is the change from a gas to a liquid. For a gas to become a liquid the particles must lose energy and they become closer together. The particles slow down and become a liquid. For example, the water bubbles that appear on the outside of your glass left in a warm room.
Sublimation: Solid directly to a gas
A change of state directly from a solid to a gas is called sublimation. The particles in a solid are tightly packed and suddenly the attraction between the particles is overcome. An example of sublimation would be dry ice. Dry ice is a solid, and does not melt because it is so cold. It goes directly from being a solid to a gas.
During a change of state, the energy (you add or take away energy) of a substance changes. The identity of the substance does not!
In the web site below play the wild wild taxi game by pressing start on the first screen. Be sure to pay attention to the directions. As you go along in the race answer the questions. Play as many times as you need to so you can finish the race. You must at least beat the high score of 36,941. Take a screen shot of your score and submit it to the phase changes dropbox.
Students remember phase changes in many ways, but one of the most common is by using a graphic organizer. There is an example graphic organizer in the explain section and also one posted below. Take a look at it before you read on.
Create your own graphic organizer with all the phase changes on there. Also, show the particles in a solid, liquid, and gas, and what happens to all the particles as the phases change. Submit this to the phase changes dropbox. Be original and creative!
What happens to particles when their temperature is increased or decreased?
Read the article and determine what the picture means.

By Capt. Kelly McKenzie (2d ID)November 13, 2013
SEOUL, Korea -- A team of 18 Soldiers from A Battery, 1st Battalion, 38th Field Artillery Regiment, 210th Fires Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division completed the JoongAng Seoul Marathon together in Seoul, South Korea Nov. 3.
Capt. Robert E. Auletta, A Battery commander, heard about the marathon from his partner Republic of Korea Army officer. He decided to sign up and encouraged others in his command to join him as a way to build camaraderie.
"My intent to run the marathon was to get out and see the community and our neighbors," said Auletta, a native of Massapequa, N.Y. "I have been in Korea for a while and I wanted to get out with our hosts, get some good exercise, and see the community as a whole."
Auletta enlisted the help of Sgt. 1st Class Rhett D. Massey, a multiple launch rocket system platoon sergeant from Longview, Texas, to train volunteers from his unit for the race. Of the 19 Soldiers attempting the course, only Massey was an experienced marathon runner.
The training regimen included Sunday runs along the local river near Camp Casey, the unit's home station. While some Soldiers were initially reluctant to sign up, they developed strong motivation through team training.
"I am not big on running, but I wanted to do something special and memorable," said Pfc. Lee Ji-hoon, a Korean Augmentation to U.S. Army Soldier from Seoul and a fire direction specialist with A Battery.
During the long Sunday practice runs, if any member of the team fell behind, other Soldiers would carry them so the team stayed together. The encouragement and teamwork motivated the Soldiers to succeed.
As the last Soldier from A Battery crossed the finish line of the race, the group shouted their unit motto, "Lightning Strikes!" After months of preparing, the Soldiers achieved their ultimate goal, to finish the marathon as a team.
A Battery marathon team:
Capt. Robert E. Auletta, A Battery commander, Massapequa, N.Y.
Sgt. 1st Class Rhett D. Massey, platoon sergeant, Longview, Texas
1st Lt. James Becker, A Battery executive officer, Cumming, Ga.

CORPUS CHRISTI – On Saturday, Jan. 28, the Texas A&M – Corpus Christi men's basketball staff will take part in the annual Coaches vs. Cancer Suits and Sneakers awareness weekend, a collaborative initiative of the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC).
Participating NABC member coaches will wear sneakers instead of dress shoes with their suits during weekend games to demonstrate their support for the American Cancer Society and its vision of a world with less cancer and more birthdays. Fans may support this cause by texting COACH to 20222 from any wireless phone to make a $5.00 donation toward Coaches vs. Cancer and help in the search for a cure. For more information, visit the Coaches vs. Cancer Facebook page, facebook.com/coachesvscancer.
"Coaches vs. Cancer weekend is always a great event," Islanders Head Coach Willis Wilson said. "Cancer has affected everyone in this world on one level or another, so we're glad to do our part to help battle this horrible disease."
The Islanders will take on rival Stephen F. Austin at 7 p.m. at the American Bank Center for the 2012 Homecoming game. A&M – Corpus Christi has won consecutive games, and currently sits in seventh place in the Southland Conference nearly halfway through league play. Tickets are available by clicking here or calling 825-BALL (2255).
This year, Coaches vs. Cancer will also launch a new promotion, "National Sneakers Day", on Friday, Jan. 27, to kick off Suits and Sneakers Weekend. Similar to coaches wearing sneakers on the sidelines, we ask you to wear your favorite sneakers to work in support of Coaches vs. Cancer and encourage your colleagues to do the same.

Baseball Scores 14 Unanswered Runs in 14-5 Victory over Toledo
MT. PLEASANT, S.C. - Senior Kevin Decker (Washington, Ind./Seminole CC) tossed six innings of hitless relief with seven strikeouts and sophomore 3B Matt Leeds (Boca Raton, Fla./American Heritage) knocked a three-run home run to lift College of Charleston to a 14-5 win over visiting Toledo Tuesday evening at Patriots Point. CofC improves to 10-3 on the season, while the Rockets fall to 5-3.
Toledo's bats staked the Rockets a 5-0 lead after first-inning home runs by Tim Krofcheck and Jim Vahalik and a pair runs in the second frame on a fielding error and a passed ball. That would be all the offense Toledo would see for the remainder of the game. Charleston got on the board with a single run in the bottom of the second and Decker replaced freshman starter Jake Zokan (Columbia, S.C./Spring Valley) to start the third. Decker would retire the next 17 batters in a row to allow the Cougars to mount an offensive comeback.
Charleston scored five runs in the third and fourth inning to jump to an 11-5 lead after four frames. Senior LF Greg Blake (Westerly, R.I./Lake City CC) led off the third with a solo shot to right center and junior CF Cole Rakar (Mt. Pleasant, S.C./Wando) lined a RBI single to left center scoring junior SS Jamie Holler (Rock Hill, S.C./USC Sumter JC). A RBI single by junior DH Rob Kral (Randolph, N.J./Randolph) and a two-run double to right by junior C Kolby Epley (Yadkinville, N.C./Forbush) closed out the third inning.
The Cougars roared again in the fourth scoring three runs on Leeds' round-tripper and adding another run on junior RF Baker Knox (San Mateo, Fla./Daytona Beach CC) RBI double to left. Knox would come in on a wild pitch for the 11-5 lead. An RBI single up the middle by Leeds in the fifth increased the CofC lead to 12-5 and Cougars would add two more tallies in the eighth to end the offensive performance.
Decker's outing earned him his first win of the season, allowing only one baserunner, a two-out walk in the eighth. Zokan gave up five runs on five hits in two innings with three strikeouts. Kral finished the game with three hits and three runs scored.
Matt Kuna took the loss for Toledo, allowing six runs and eight hits in 2.1 innings. Joe Corfman and Matt Delewski led the Rockets with two hits apiece.
Charleston returns to action Wednesday evening as the Cougars host Ball State at Patriots Point. Game time is set for 5 p.m.

Teleworking Thrives in England
The typical "homeworker" is a young father with a middle management job, reveals a Point Topic survey
Some 10 per cent of all UK households (2.6 million) say they accommodate at least one person who works from home for at least part of the time.
The typical homeworker is a father, aged between 25 and 44 years old, who works in middle management, a survey by Point Topic found.
Around 40 per cent of households with homeworkers include teleworkers: employees of an organisation with offices somewhere else. The remaining 60 per cent are self-employed people who are mostly freelancers but there is also a small proportion who run businesses with employees using their homes as headquarters.
Of the 2,122 respondents, 16.1 per cent said they use the internet for work-related tasks.
Homeworking is gaining momentum - workers from households in the East, South East and South West of England are more likely to work from home than those in any other region.
Almost 40 per cent of homeworkers live in those three regions. Take-up of home working is slightly lower - but still above the UK average - in central London. The East Midlands, North East, Northern Ireland and Wales fall well below the UK average.

Since the controversy surrounding the alleged scam of Janet Lim-Napoles broke out, there has been a torrent of articles and photos that have come out linking the now fugitive to several legislators. Simply put, most articles allege that Napoles started several non-government organizations or NGO's that accept financial allocations from certain legislators' Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) for supposed projects. In turn, some legislators keep a percentage or a cut.
Coincidentally, her daughter's steady online presence in the form of micro-blogs and even an Instagram account, documenting her high and lavish lifestyle in captioned photos (showing trips to Europe, her outfits-of-the-day, and even a Porsche as a surprise graduation gift from her folks) has inadvertently made her the poster girl for this alleged scam.
With each exposé, there has been a rise of reactions among people online. Everyone's timeline would show a link, an acerbic status post, and some excerpts from the recent Commission on Audit report on the PDAF allocations. Just like the steady wave of stories on Napoles, other angles have been coming to light. All of them however remain allegations.
Many of us got tagged onto a status post, an invite to "go to Luneta on Aug 26, National Heroes Day to show our protest." In a few days, a Facebook page was up. Now many people know about "this million people march" to tell the people in power that we've had enough. The common sentiment being a call to "get to the bottom of this scam, probe, charge, prosecute whoever is involved, and eventually abolish the PDAF."
Since there was no ONE recognizable group making "the call"—the usual noisy suspects have been silent—many people started asking and doubting the agenda of the gathering. "Who's organizing this?" echoed through Twitter and Facebook. Many were afraid that it was a set-up. A lot were wary of being associated with this or that collective from the broad spectrum of Philippine political leanings.
Last night I was having a highly charged discussion during a meal with friends when a lady in red shows up. We apparently have a common friend. Her name is Peachy Rallonza-Bretaña. According to her, she was the one who FIRST re-posted the call of Ito Rapadas. (Ito was the lead singer of a band called Neo-Colors from the early 90s) BUT- it was Peachy who posted "the call to action" and she was the one who put the time and place – and it was this that was spread and tossed around Facebook via tags and links. In response, Bernardo Bernardo and Monet Silvestre (a stage actor and a musician respectively) who were also the first ones to repost this suggestion put up a Facebook page with a California-based Phil-Am TV show called "Power ng Pinoy." Peachy says she was tagged as a "host" on the event page, made administrator, and identified as being the spearhead of this August 26 protest. I asked her, "Well, are YOU the organizer? There have been questions, you see. Is there a program? A permit? What can we expect? Who will be beside me if I go?"
She looked a little beat, and a lot overwhelmed so I stopped to let her speak.
I learned that Peachy has no affiliation with any political group or movement. She is not sinister—in fact, she is quite reserved. I didn't see an agenda-filled demagogue. All I saw was a taxpayer who is very angry at what is happening. She is angry and is just inviting people to gather, essentially asking them if they are angry, too. "Luneta is a public space," she says, "This is just an invitation to go on August 26, National Heroes Day, to go to Luneta, and stake their claim on a little piece of our national historic park."
The broad stroke of the gathering is this: probe and prosecute those who are found guilty of scamming taxpayers' money through this revealed PDAF scam. I imagine many people will go for many other reasons. Some will call for the abolition of the PDAF all together. Perhaps further down the road some group will be pushing for a Freedom of Information Act, which would act as a deterrent against these shady deals.
I suppose since it appears that there is really no ONE organizer behind this—save for this cropped haired, now-nervous lady in red, then you must go for your own reasons. If you go then you organized yourself to go. This may sound naive, weak even to the more seasoned street protesters, but it is certainly a voice that is growing and cannot be ignored, not by those in power and certainly not by anyone who sincerely wants a better way of doing things.
Go if you want to, stay in if that's what you feel is best. For as long as you have sound reasons for either decision—well and good. The important thing is that you made one, after all.
Viva demokrasya.

Some Anarchist Principles
May 1, 2009
The local (Chicago) group I am involved with, Four Star Anarchist Organization, recently celebrated its one-year anniversary by publishing its guiding Statement of Principles. This is meant to be a short and accessible overview of our politics and goals, without going into detail on strategy or specific ideological points (we'll address those, as they arise, in other published statements). It's rather difficult to collectively write political statements –especially short ones — that aren't laden with jargon or anarchist in-group terminology, but I think we did a decent job. We also made an effort to talk more about what we want, rather than just throwing out a laundry list of things we opposed. Feedback is, of course, appreciated.
Here is the statement in full:
The Four Star Anarchist Organization believes all people must have control over the basic conditions of their lives. Core values of cooperation, equality, and direct democracy guide our struggle toward a free society that transforms our relationships with our neighborhoods, workplaces, culture, the world in which we live, and each other.
- In our families, women, children, and all members must have equality and freedom from violence. We must be free to develop healthy, supportive relationships of our choosing as opposed to living conditions and arrangements resulting from economic, religious, cultural, or government coercion.
- In our neighborhoods, community and economic development must be freely decided by all. All people are entitled to quality housing, safe communities, healthcare, education, and other necessities of life.
- In our workplaces, we must have direct democratic control over the conditions of our labor and effort. Bosses must be replaced by the cooperative decisions and actions of those who work in homes, stores, offices, hospitals, schools, factories, and all other workplaces. This work must be based on fulfilling real needs rather than creating profits for the wealthy.
- In our communities, people must be free to develop and maintain culture–art, music, sport, and food–that reflects the best part of daily life in our society. Justice, respect, and passion can only thrive in a world where our popular culture is both social and cooperative.
- In our world as a whole, we must engage scientific principles and appropriate technologies to ensure a thriving and sustainable planet for all. Most people are experts on their own needs and we are able to solve even the biggest problems when we work together.
Four Star is committed to struggling against the lethal combination of oppression and domination that characterizes life in our society: capitalism, white supremacy, patriarchy, environmental devastation, and the state. Our vision is to help develop affinity and empower people by providing direct support to groups, communities, and individuals who are identifying solutions in their lives. To make this happen, we involve ourselves with social movements and promote anarchism, direct democracy, and militant direct action.

I came across this from a link by Redjade in Hungary on Facebook, but I'm not sure if he's related to you.
Just to say, this is a great statement, very clear, focussed, precise, and one that, I think, many anarchist organisations could take a leaf out of.
Well done, and good luck in your campaigning.

As always, I'm in admiration of 4 Star and Infomorph's work here. I was taken with the first principle: "all members must have equality and freedom from violence". I share the vision that somehow violent hatred can be cured or healed through some kind of positive, therapeutic action…the arts or music…because otherwise, all my visions of revolution are violent, from class warfare to insurgency.
My friends all seem less maimed by the violence of capitalist relationships, unscarred…but in all my experience, as a single parent, from working with Latinos working two jobs to support extended families, their treatment in the workplace, to the insanities of ICE, school, church, job-firings, work and income distributions, punishments meeted out by parents,priests,bosses,policemen and judges, all I've ever known is violence, as far back as I can remember.
I simply don't trust myself. I avoid confrontation because I'm afraid violence will break out. At one point, I just labeled myself a "not-nice" person who is incapable of living with other people, because I can't stand the idea of hurting or disappointing a comrade. When there are children involved, non-violence is a must for a counter-cultural upbringing. I'm surprised I had any success at all.
Constructive expression of anger seems to help blow-off steam from explosive situations. "How to say 'I'm angry' without accusing?" Taking and allowing others to take time-outs in order to get "OK", before trying to solve a problem helps. Having green space in which to get a breath of fresh air helps.
I think the commitment to non-violence and equality in homes and neighborhoods is essential for bringing about the next world. I send the 4 star group all the best wishes for their brilliant undertaking. The next world will come slow, but it will come with efforts like yours.
All the best,
May 19, 2009 at 12:21 pm
This is something I posted on the anarchist discussion list. thought 4-star might like it.
Notes toward a New Sociality:
Post-Apocalyptic Michigan, 2009.
The apocalypse has already happened in Michigan. The facts are pretty well known: the annual depopulation of the state; the loss of decent-paying work; the demise of the cities (Detroit, Flint, Saginaw and Lansing); Granholm's decision to invest in a tourist economy (read third-world economy); the bankruptcy of the auto industry; etc., etc… But also, the same changes in society that're happening everywhere: single-parent and second step-families becoming the norm and not the exception; increasing periods of precarity for children when parents separate; the total absence of this reality in the discourse of government and social services agency hierarchs; the anti-family ideology at work and within capitalism…
It is becoming obvious that the industrial-based society, built on the ruins of the agricultural society has now ended (how long ago?), and we need new social tools with which a brighter future might be made. One wonders if the concept of "setting down roots" is helpful any longer, or if it is just more complicated than it used to be. Communities based on stability, tax-base, property ownership and stewardship are giving way to communities of temporary membership based on the subject's ability to find adequate work, housing, food, clothing, transportation and daycare.
The small-towns of Michigan look abandoned, too. Infrastructure is in pitiful condition. And weirdly enough, no one really wants to talk about it, as if working people are too harried to think about it and no one else cares that much. That's another aspect of American, post-apocalyptic sociality: people seem unable to speak to each other (as if speech has been repressed for so long that its not worth the struggle anymore, and the "sides" in the struggle have become too vastly dissociated into "opposites").
So, as we think about what we want for ourselves and children (if we have them), it may be helpful to take a look at "rootedness, belonging to a place and belonging to a community" and determine the workable thresholds or limits within which we are and can be productive: of ourselves, of our children and youth , of our joy. As anarchists, we can be certain that these issues are being left to the authorities: the human resources departments; the academics; the family psychologists; the so-called liberals in government. But as always, we benefit most when we DIY, and every case will be different. Below is a list of topics which can be added to or scrapped as anyone sees fit. Please feel free to respond as you wish:
– What is the minimum threshold of capital in which children do not become precarious? Health insurance? Day care? Dependence on extended family? Nutrition? Social interaction with other kids? Home-schooling or alternative student-centered learning ($$$) ? Access to green space? Access to productive technologies (like computer & video)?
– How to avoid the pathological process of competition-based sociality in favor of a new socius of cooperation and sharing? What is the maximum threshold of exposure to a pathological socius or on the other hand, the necessary relationship in which cultural pathologies can be discussed and avoided?
– At what point do public school and public institutions like pools, festivals, libraries and concerts begin their negative and repressive effects on the subject? Where it seems unreasonable to cloister-off a child, how also to prepare them? What does it mean to a child to have long-term friendships with peers from (perhaps) the dominant class?
Anyway, these are just some thoughts.
All the best, jones.

Hi there, I just read the principles, good job. Don't despair if things are moving slowly, we will get there, specially if we continue working on spreading the message. Even now I still find people which talk to me about Zeitgeist's "Resource Based Economy" as if its a new idea which originated by Mr. Fresco. I generally recommend them books from Kropotkin, Goldman, Berkman.
Keep it up comrade, and cheers from a southern neighbor!

Louis C.K.'s Proust questionnaire DEC 11 2012
Vanity Fair regularly runs a celebrity questionnaire in the pages of its magazine and for January they got Louis C.K. to do it. Somehow. Because he really didn't like doing it.
What is your idea of perfect happiness?
Not ever having to fill out this questionnaire.
What is your greatest fear?
You think I'm going to tell you that? You think I'm going to let you print my greatest fear in a national magazine? No sir. I will not, sir.

Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) stock suffered Thursday after the company announced earnings from the first full quarter in CEO Meg Whitman's reign.
HP shares fell as much as 7.2 percent in Thursday trading after the Palo Alto tech giant announced a 44 percent decline in profits and a 7 percent drop in sales from the same quarter a year ago.
Despite earnings per share that beat Wall Street forecasts, investors punished HP, likely due to the company's disappointing forecast for the current quarter -- HP predicted earnings per share of 88 cents to 91 cents for the quarter that ends April 30, while analysts had forecast an average EPS of 95 cents.
Most analysts agreed with Whitman, who focused her comments Wednesday on the need for Hewlett-Packard to strengthen its fundamentals in order to build for long-term success.
"We've got to create the capacity for more sustainable innovation," Whitman said, also adding "we have a long road ahead of us" for a successful turnaround.
Whitman went so far as to say turnarounds of the type she is attempting at HP "take a couple of years, sometimes five years."
"You'll see progress before five years," she continued, but, "it's taken a while to get into this and it will take a while to get out."
Those comments caused concern for Robert W. Baird analyst Jayson Noland, who said they "lead me to believe the turnaround will be more protracted than originally thought."
However, Sterne Agee analyst Shaw Wu, in a note to clients Thursday morning, said that the key element in HP's earnings report was the victory in EPS, "showing the company is making progress."
"The company is an underappreciated turnaround story (which could improve) as investors get more comfortable with the company's improved focus and execution," he added.
Wu reiterated a rating of "Buy" for Hewlett-Packard shares, and maintained a price target -- the point at which analysts believe investors should sell their shares for maximum value -- of $34.
HP shares closed at $27.05, a loss of $1.89, or 6.5 percent, from Wednesday's closing price.

Supersize your Book Collection
Like other bloggers, I idly covet the new Penguin Classics box set: nearly every Penguin classic ever published, a tidy 1,082 volumes, available from Amazon for a mere $13,413. (Not eligible for Free Super Saver Shipping, alas.*)
One satisfied customer describes her purchase as "an orgy for a book-lover":
They arrived in 25 boxes shrink-wrapped on a wooden pallet, over 750 lbs. of books. It took about twelve hours to unpack them, check them off the packing list (one for each box), and then check them off the list we downloaded from Amazon.com. They take up about 77 linear feet.
Is the demise of the physical book at hand? Not while people like her endure—and not if that description still strikes you as more thrilling than arduous.

Oh, yeah, the Muskbox also happened. Here it is.
What exactly were the terms of the Willis deal? Can he compete for a job in the Majors, or is it a Minors deal only?
— Wayne S., Indianapolis
What a dumb-ass question. Would anyone ever sign a professional baseball contract if there was absolutely ZERO chance for them to compete in the Majors? Does he understand the whole point of a minor-league system? IS JIM HENDRY ASKING THIS QUESTION???
CARRIE: Willis, who turns 32 on Saturday, signed a Minor League deal and will be in the Cubs' Minor League camp.
Since we didn't get a "[Dontrelle] Willis" out of Carrie, I'm going to assume the Cubs signed Willis Jackson. And I'm going to make shirts for Friday that say, "WHATCHOO TALKIN' 'BOUT, WILLIS?"
CARRIE: He may get some innings in Cactus League games, depending on how he does. Last year, Willis was 0-3 in four games with the Orioles' Triple-A Norfolk team before leaving, and he is a long shot to make the Cubs' bullpen.
He may, however, be their best pinch-hit option off the bench.
Given the new depth in the rotation and lack of depth at third base, as well as the apparent relationship with the Rangers' front office after the Ryan Dempster and Geovany Soto deals, would trading Matt Garza for Mike Olt and another prospect be an option? It seems like it would be a win-win for both organizations.
— Adam B., Harlingen, Texas
So, the Cubs stuck the Rangers with a clown piece of shit pitcher and a fat, bad backup catcher, so I'm sure they're begging Theo to take their #2 prospect AND ANOTHER PROSPECT off their hands.
CARRIE: All speculation about Garza being traded needs to be put on hold until he shows that he is fully recovered from the elbow injury that sidelined him last year.
CARRIE HAS DECLARED A MORATORIUM. If she shows up on Friday, all I'm going to talk about is trading Matt Garza.
CARRIE: I'm sure the rumors will start as soon as Garza takes the mound at Fitch Park in Mesa, Ariz., for his first throwing session.
This is what we have to look forward to when pitchers and catchers report, folks. Matt Garza trade rumors.
What are the chances the Cubs work out a trade with the Marlins for Giancarlo Stanton? Over the course of the next five years, he could easily be the best pure power hitter in all of baseball and would be a worthwhile player to sign long term.
— Brett L., Indianapolis
Stanton might be a worthwhile player to sign long term. What a stretch!
CARRIE: Stanton is a stud, but you'd have to give up one of the Cubs' young impact players to get him.
The Cubs would have to give up a young impact player to get a young impact player? IS THIS HOW TRADES WORK???
CARRIE: The Marlins, like the Rangers, aren't going to part with one of their top young players unless they receive a lot in return. Are you willing to deal Starlin Castro?
For Giancarlo Stanton? Absolutely. Yes. Yes. A million times over, yes.
Have the Cubs signed Carlos Villanueva? I don't see him on the roster, but the last item on the web indicates they have.
— John B., Kalamazoo, Mich.
CARRIE: Villanueva has not officially signed with the Cubs. The 40-man roster is full, so the delay is most likely related to the need to open a spot for the pitcher.
That would be the same guess I'd give if I weren't a beat reporter with access to the front office, who had the capability to definitively answer this question.
If the Cubs' season were to start today, what would be the starting lineup and rotation?
— Ismael V., Chicago
Oh my god, Ismael Valdes is angling his way into a Cubs comeback!
CARRIE: Manager Dale Sveum will be asked this at next week's Cubs Convention, but here's an early guess: CF David DeJesus, 2B Darwin Barney, Castro, 1B Anthony Rizzo, LF Alfonso Soriano, 3B Ian Stewart, C Welington Castillo, RF Nate Schierholtz. A possible rotation: Jeff Samardzija, Edwin Jackson, Garza (if healthy), Scott Baker (if healthy) and Scott Feldman.
Also, Scott Feldman sounds like a character from Animal House.
What happened to the left-hander the Cubs signed from Cuba? They dropped him from the 40-man roster.
— Terry L., Sun City Center, Fla.
Fidel Castro?
CARRIE: Gerardo Concepcion…
Oh, right.
CARRIE: …who signed a five-year, $6 million deal in March 2012, was removed from the 40-man roster in December to make room after the team added Schierholtz. He was then outrighted to the Kane County Cougars, so he's still in the Cubs' system. Last season, Concepcion made 12 starts at Class A Peoria and posted a 2-6 record and 7.39 ERA, giving up 70 hits and walking 30 over 52 1/3 innings. He turns 21 on Feb. 29.
Sounds like they made a huge mistake dropping this gem from the 40-man roster. I'll have to have a chat with Theo on Friday about it.
What is the projection and progress of Hayden Simpson?
— Tim S., Du Quoin, Ill.
Prognosis: Negative
CARRIE: Simpson, 23, has had a tough time regaining his strength since being sidelined with mononucleosis following the 2010 Draft.
Good thing his parents took him to that chicken pox party when he was eleven!
CARRIE: Last season, he pitched for Boise and Daytona and was a combined 4-7 in 29 games (five starts) with a 6.56 ERA. Hopefully, he was able to add some weight this offseason.
CARRIE: In an interview last summer with the Idaho Statesman, Simpson said he hasn't given up. Said Simpson: "So many guys get to the top without any bumps in the road, and when they start having trouble, they don't know how to react. Well, I've had every bump in the road. I'm never going to take anything for granted ever again."
The Idaho Statesman: GRIPPING ANALYSIS YOU CAN TRUST.

What is the boat parade at the lake near the Walt Disney World resorts?
What is the boat parade called? What does it entail? Where is the best place to watch it from? I believe it is on the lake near some of the Walt Disney World resorts. What days do they have it? Thanks!
Weather permitting, the Electrical Water Pageant has run every night for decades - nearly since WDW opened. This page has a few photos as well as a time schedule as to when you can expect to see it at various locations.
I've seen it from the beach at the Polynesian before watching the fireworks, in front of the MK, while it was passing in front of the MK from the ferry docks at the TTC and I've even seen it pass by while I was on the ferry.
It's not something worth seeking out for itself, but if you happen to be in the neighborhood for other reasons when the time comes around, it's nice to watch

PROVIDENCE, R.I. �� The police are asking for the public�s help to find a Providence man accused of fatally stabbing another man in Elmwood on Monday.
Leon Taylor, 32, is wanted in the murder of David Simmons, 32, who was found dying on Dartmouth Avenue. Police said they may have been fighting over a woman related to Taylor. Simmons, who is originally from Flushing, N.Y., had moved in with someone on Dartmouth Avenue recently from Brockton, Mass.
Taylor may be driving a green or blue �Nissan Maxima with temporary Rhode Island plates, according to the police.
Earlier Wednesday, the police said Taylor could be in the company of a woman.� Hours after releasing Taylor's mugshot and requesting the public's help in finding him, the police announced that they were no longer looking for the woman, who is believed to be Taylor's girlfriend. The police said Wednesday afternoon that they learned that she wasn't with Taylor and was not a person of interest.
"We are looking for him in the state and possibly out of state," said Maj. David Lapatin.
Police ask anyone with information about the homicide to contact detective Daniel O�Connell at (401) 641-1481 or the detective bureau at (401) 243-6406.

A 10-year-old boy on a bicycle was hit by a vehicle near 80th Street and Lamar Avenue Thursday morning, according to Overland Park police.
Police and emergency crews were called to the area about 7:15 a.m. Tomahawk Elementary School is near where the accident happened.
The boy was taken to a hospital as a precaution. He is expected to be OK.
Police are investigating the crash.
