Does anyone know if the ASUS X101CH netbook is compatible with Ubuntu 10.04/12.04?
Thank you very much for your help,
Does anyone know if the ASUS X101CH netbook is compatible with Ubuntu 10.04/12.04?
Thank you very much for your help,
Im having mild display issues, but everything else seems to work well
What display issues are you experiencing? (Screen Flicker, Brightness...)
Are you able to turn your wireless off?
I just bought an Asus X101CH in Canada thinking that aside from some treatable resolution issues it was well supported.
But the 12.10 wouldn't even boot on it, and others are having this problem too. I believe I got around it by making sure that it was networked (wired is always safest) when it first booted, but I'm not sure. For a wihle my symptoms were like others': blank screen, flashing cursor, no ability to drop to terminal.

latest release of Ubuntu on Lenovo X230T, Lenovo T410s, HP Mini, and Zareason Lightlap in Montréal, Canada
I've managed to go through the install of 12.10 on the X101CH, but after it rebooted, it won't bring up the OS.
I would stay far away from this hardware. Do not buy hardware that others' haven't found to be easy to install your OS on, unless you've very talented.
latest release of Ubuntu on Lenovo X230T, Lenovo T410s, HP Mini, and Zareason Lightlap in Montréal, Canada
Besides, there are other problems with this netbook, still as of 2012 November. My advice is to avoid it completely:
latest release of Ubuntu on Lenovo X230T, Lenovo T410s, HP Mini, and Zareason Lightlap in Montréal, Canada
About Ubuntu 12.10 - if I understood correctly, it doesn't come with Unity 2D, and the integrated chip in this netbook doesn't support 3D. Mine x1010ch came with Ubuntu 12.04 preinstalled and so far it works.
I read that blog you linked, and I must disagree. First, an intro: For a year I battled with a hp pavilion g7, it was the lousiest piece of hardware I ever saw. Switchable graphics didn't work, even on Windows, even though hp claimed it was working as intended and refused to issue a BIOS upgrade to fix it. I had hp laptops before (they were good), and this one was just a piece of junk. So I sold it and bought me a new mattress
So I found myself without computer and my classes were starting, I needed any kind of computer. I went to the website of a local store, selected "all portable computers", sorted them by price and clicked on the cheapest. It was Asus x101ch.
I had no expectations, I just hoped it won't be SUCH a piece of crap. It came with Ubuntu 12.04 preinstalled (which I reinstalled because I disliked the partitioning scheme).
Keyboard - I use it for my classes, surfing, mailing etc and type without any problems. Fn keys work, and I rarely miss a letter. My hard disk makes no sounds, the entire netbook makes no sounds. Sometimes I keep it turned on for 8 hrs straight, it doesn't overheat. Proprietary drivers work, I have 1024x600 resolution which works well for this small screen. Ubuntu runs good on it, bar Software Centre (for obvious reasons). Haven't had the power connector issues described in the blog even though my cat nibbles on it sometimes and even tries to pull it out (no success so far). I usually hate laptop trackpads and use a mouse exclusively but on this netbook I found the trackpad usable.
All in all, for that money, I expected nothing and was pleasantly surprised. It's a decent netbook and does well for what it was intended - surfing, some office-ing, using it for college classes. I recommended it to my friend for the same purpose, she might even keep Ubuntu on it. On the other hand, I advise everyone to stay away from hp
sunfromhere, have you had any success with support from Asus? I just bought an x101ch with Ubuntu 12.04 installed. The initial start-up got interrupted and now it says "operating system not found." I can't get any help from Asus - they keep telling me they have restore DVD's for Windows only. I've asked them for help downloading an image I can boot from...no luck.
Do you have any idea where I can get a backup image for Asus' install of 12.04 for the x101ch? Any help appreciated.
Ha. I've got a friend who should work for Asus. He helped me with the recovery: boot from a live USB & reinstall grub. Now the built-in Ubuntu recovery kicked in and installed the system. Working now!
Question remains: anyone at Asus know anything about Ubuntu?

Lloyd sets GNAC record at Willamette
Related Links
The Seawolves concluded the meet with multiple personal-best and podium finishes, but the day was highlighted by Lloyd's efforts in both hurdle events and the 4x100-meter relay. A local of Ladysmith, B.C., Lloyd posted a GNAC record and winning time of 59.98 seconds in the 400-meter hurdles, displacing the previous record of 1:00.31, held by Western Washington's Heidi Dimmitt from 2009.
Lloyd had already provisionally qualified for the NCAAs in the event, but the new time will improve her chances at making Nationals. She needs to furnish at time of 59.72 for automatic qualification. Lloyd, who already owned the 400-meter hurdle record at UAA, also broke her own 100-meter hurdle record with a time of 14.42 – just .02 seconds slower than the NCAA provisional qualifying time needed.
Joining Lloyd on the UAA record-breaking 4x100-meter relay squad was sophomore Sasha Halfyard, freshman Grace Morgan and senior Dianne Chong. The foursome cruised to a time of 48.04 seconds, good for second place.
Other first-place showing for the Seawolves went to Chong in the women's triple jump with a season-best leap of 37-07.25, while junior Ethan Hewitt collected the win in the men's 400 meters with a time of 48.58.
The men's 4x100-meter relay team – comprised of freshmen Nicholas Blackburn and Elliott Bauer and junior A.J. Allen and senior All-American Shaun Ward – won with a time of 42.51, while the women's 4x400-meter relay team of sophomores Susan Bick, Ivy O'Guinn, Halfyward and Lloyd posted a time of 3:55.41 for the victory.
Combined, the Seawolves registered five first-place finishes, 14 podium results and 22 top-10 showings on Day 2 of the meet.
The Seawolves will be back in action the following weekend with the Stanford Invitational on April 6-7 and the San Francisco State Carnival on April 6.

These techniques are used to study the energies of particles that are emitted or absorbed by samples that are exposed to the light-source beam and are commonly used to determine the characteristics of chemical bonding and electron motion.
These techniques make use of the patterns of light produced when x rays are deflected by the closely spaced lattice of atoms in solids and are commonly used to determine the structures of crystals and large molecules such as proteins.
These techniques use the light-source beam to obtain pictures with fine spatial resolution of the samples under study and are used in diverse research areas such as cell biology, lithography, infrared microscopy, radiology, and x-ray tomography.
These techniques exploit the pulsed nature of the light-source beam to take a series of snap-shots that, together, can form a moving picture of the changes in a sample over time.

I couldn't wait to write about our new house, but alas, we were outbid and the house I've pinned all those pins for, including this rug (and this rug) is, after all, not our house.
Today I woke feeling pretty defeated, however in the meantime I'm getting this house ready to sell and it's coming along so much less painful than I thought it would. It will all shake out, I know, but I admit to some impatience on my part along the way. Where is our house? Why hasn't it found us yet? Will those rugs work in it, too?

COLUMBIANA - More than 70 people think they have what it takes to become the city's next city manager.
Tonight, members of the selection advisory committee will meet behind closed doors to narrow that number down to the top few to be granted interviews with city council.
The city is in need of a new manager with Keith Chamberlin retiring Dec. 31 after 20 years. His backup, Service Director Jay Groner, is also retiring that day, and council recently appointed Finance Director Mark Harold to serve as manager in the meantime. He will perform the administrative duties along with the financial duties until a new manager is hired.
Advisory committee member Lowell Schloneger, who also sits on council, is surprised and encouraged by how many people have shown an interest in the position.
"It is more than I expected. It just means that there is a lot of people looking" to help the city, he said.
The committee was formed to move along the selection process since council members are unable to meet with all of the applicants.
Schloneger said he isn't sure how many people will be pulled from the selection during the meeting.
"I'm just looking out of this group to find the best person we can. Everything has went good for a lot of years for us with our manager. We'll just need to find another one to keep it going," he said.
He hopes interviews can begin as soon as possible, and exactly when they will begin is still to be determined.
Other members of the committee are Mayor David Spatholt, Councilman Bob Bieshelt and Civil Service Commission member Rick Noel.

SJM bishop calls for Cibao-Sur highway
Story Text & Photos © 2012 by DR1
Feb 28 2012 20:59PM
- The bishop of San Juan de la Maguana, Jose Dolores Grullon, has issued a call for the much-debated Cibao-Sur Highway to be built from Constanza to Padre de las Casas. In an article in Hoy newspaper, he argued that the proposed route would be 57 kilometers shorter and save about RD$50 million in construction costs. In addition, the prelate said that such a route would benefit three of the main development areas in the southwest: Azua, San Juan and Barahona. The route from Constanza would connect the southern region with the Cibao valley cities of La Vega, Santiago, Bonao and San Francisco de Macoris. The bishop gave eight reasons for asking the President to reconsider the plans for the project. Regarding the RD$50 million in savings, Monsignor Grullon said that the bridge over the mighty and dangerous Rio Grande would be inaugurated in April, thanks to the Foundation for the Development of Azua, San Juan and Elias Pina and other NGOs. On 12 February Public Works Minister Victor Diaz Rua announced that the government would start construction work on a new land link from Juan Adrian in Monsenor Nouel province to Rancho Arriba, passing by Sabana Larga on to San Jose de Ocoa and the Carretera Sanchez that leads to the southwest. The road would be built with the same mountain technology used to repair the Constanza highway. The Constanza work was carried out by the Brazilian firm, Odebrecht. Read original at

Heidelberg University conducted a campus celebration in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Tuesday.
The guest speaker for the day was Sharon Perry-Nause, director of institutional diversity and assistant professor of management at Tiffin University, where she chairs the University Diversity Committee. During her tenure, TU has earned recognition for increases in black student graduation rates.
Heidelberg President Robert Huntington welcomed the audience by asking, "Why are we here today?"

Sharon Perry-Nause
"We are here today because we are not satisfied," Huntington said. "There is more work to be done." August will mark 50 years since the march on Washington, he said.
"In words expressed by Dr. King, 'No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream,'" Huntington said.
The topic of the celebration was "Humanity." Perry-Nause expressed that throughout King's life, there was a lot of uncertainty.
"Now, we are light years ahead from where we used to be," Perry-Nause said.
As a little girl, Perry-Nause said, she told her mother she wanted to go to college. In a single-parent home, there wasn't much money for college, Perry-Nause said. "But with the people I met throughout my life, they showed me to path to get there."
"I am all about education. It can change your life. I know because it changed mine with the opportunities given to me through Dr. King," Perry-Nause said. "It is my job to educate and my responsibility to give back to help those individuals, no matter what type of school, to get through what they need to get through. Helping those individuals ultimately helps society as a whole."
Concluding her message, Perry-Nause said, "(The) Humanities are stories, words and experiences. They connect lives with the opportunities to meet people you may not have ever met, see places you may not have every seen and get ideas that you may not have had the chance to express. That is my passion that is diversity."
In addition to the address by Perry-Nause, the President's Volunteer Service Award was presented to 2008 Heidelberg graduate Joe Worthy for his commitment to a life of service.
Worthy, during his time on campus, organized a get-out-the-vote campaign that encouraged 200 Heidelberg students to register to vote. Worthy also was president of the campus's Black Student Union and served as a part of the Martin Luther King Community Planning Committee and Honors Program Committee.
Since then, Worthy has volunteered with Nexus Alliance and the Children's Defense Fund. He has worked with the Defense Fund as a national coordinator for youth leadership development in Washington, D.C., and is working through the Cleveland office, where he founded the New Abolitionist Association and the Call to Consciousness Symposium.

Greg Jellinek, M.D., is a candidate for the Truckee Tahoe Airport Board. I strongly support his candidacy for this position.
I have known Greg as a fellow pilot and medical professional for more than 20 years. In the last few years has become a full-time resident. He has always maintained a very active presence in the community both as a pilot as well as a very well-respected plastic surgeon.
I have always found Greg to be very well-informed and very levelheaded. He has actively followed the development of the airport over a very lengthy period of time and I am certain that he would make a substantial contribution to its ongoing success as a member of the airport district board.
I have the utmost confidence and respect in his ability to look at issues from a broad perspective and take into account all the stakeholders needs on any given issue. I have seen him do this on many an occasion as a active member of our medical staff at Tahoe Forest Hospital.
I know he would take that same thorough and balanced approach to his position on the airport board. I strongly endorse his position and hope that others will see him in the same light.
Tom Specht, M.D.

Is the Pentagon spending your money wisely?
The budget debate is ramping up in Washington, with some big-name (and big-dollar) defense programs like the F-22 fighter (at right) and 2,000 Fort Worth jobs on the chopping block.
Winslow Wheeler of the Center for Defense Information's Straus Military Reform Project – a respected military spending watchdog – this morning issued an analysis of the Government Accountability Office's new report on the growth in defense spending and the Pentagon's response to the GAO.
Both documents will give you some useful context as you try to make sense of the back-and-forth between defense industry lobbyists and proponents of Pentagon cuts.

Police are following up on a possible sighting of a 38-year-old missing Oregon woman, Jennifer Huston, boarding a car ferry in Washington – 300 miles from where she was last seen on July 24, pumping gas at a Circle K and buying snacks and over-the-counter sleeping pills from Rite-Aid in Newberg, Oregon.
A couple told police they spotted a woman fitting her description – a blonde female in her 30s in a car that matched the make and model of Huston's green Lexus, even down to the cracked window – on board a ferry from Anacortes, Washington, to the San Juan Islands.
"The information that we've received is that there was a female on the boat, on the 9 o'clock ferry sailing from Anacortes to Friday Harbor on Thursday morning, July 31," San Juan County Undersheriff Bruce Distler told KPTV Fox12 Oregon.
The witnesses also described the married mother of two as having a white Band-Aid on her left cheek.
"It's not something that's just another tip, it's something that is serious enough that we're gonna take a look at it and make sure everything pans out," said Distler.
The Washington State Ferry office and San Juan Sheriff deputies are recovering internal surveillance tapes, so they can confirm whether the woman is Huston.
Police called off the search in Yamhill County, Oregon, Friday after several aerial searches found no trace of Huston.
"It's been an emotional time for the family. Lots of ups and downs," Kallen Huston, Jennifer's husband, told Portland's KATU on Sunday morning. "These leads get us excited for a short bit, then reality sets back in and it's been difficult."
The couple have two boys, aged 6 and 2.
Kallen said he didn't know yet whether the new lead is credible, adding that he and Jennifer have vacationed "many times" in the San Juans.
Huston's father, Bill Turner, told the station he believes Jennifer is still in Oregon. "I believe she's within 25 miles of Newberg," Turner said.
On Saturday, police in her hometown of Dundee, Oregon, and 20 of Huston's closest family and friends passed out fliers and continued ground search efforts.
"Jennifer, if you could see this or hear this, I love you. You have a ton of support from the community. If you can come home, please do. The boys need you. I need you. I love you," Kallen Huston pleaded at a Friday press conference. "We'll never stop looking for you."

Food is ok in each Cafe but The Commons was def a welcome relief from the building fatigue one got working there .
Love the Tours.. keep up the good work team
Do employees have to pay for food?
@Mapper99 Yes they do
@martinmine: Eating kiosks have become heavily generic; if you have the opportunity, stop in a PX/BX (AAFES or NEX) domestically, if not overseas (in the DC area, Andrews AFB, the Marines' Henderson Hall, and the Washington Navy Yard are prime examples). You'd never believe that these are on military installations! (And despite what some think, the military exchanges get no taxpayer funding, as they are required, by law, to be utterly self-sustaining services.)

• Repair of pulmonary atresia with an extra-anatomic conduit has been difficult in patients with absent central pulmonary arteries. Although several methods have been employed successfully, each has inherent problems. Our technique uses a staged approach to complete pulmonary revascularization using the systemic-pulmonary collateral arteries for reconstruction of the involved lung. In our patient, this type of repair was associated with excellent late postoperative symptomatic and hemodynamic results. Complete revascularization of both lungs during correction of pulmonary atresia may improve the surgical management of this condition.

Harry Seidler
Harry Seidler (1923–2006) is an icon of Australian architecture. When he moved to Australia in 1948, he brought international modernist ideas and methodology, almost immediately influencing the shape of local architecture. He is often credited with bringing modernism to Australia.
Dupain, Max (1911-1992), Australia Square, George Street, Sydney by architects Harry Seidler & Associates, October 1968. Image courtesy State Library of New South Wales: PXD720/90.
Seidler believed that architecture was an art form; art that flows out of simple yet functional design. He was committed to making a better physical world, wherein architecture is modern, socially aware and ecologically sound. His work is considered ground-breaking for its design and advanced construction techniques.
Seidler is arguably best known for changing the skyline of Sydney's CBD and contributing useable, public spaces to the city. Australia Square (1961), the world's tallest light-weight concrete building at the time, is a case in point.
For more than 50 years, Seidler produced distinctive, bold modern architecture, including houses, apartments, offices and embassies—in Australia and internationally. While some designs were criticised for being out of place, Seidler received numerous awards and honours. In addition to his architectural work, Seidler travelled and lectured extensively.
Seidler's early life
Seidler was born in 1923 to a prosperous family in Vienna, Austria, where he attended the prestigious Wasagymnasium. Fascinated by new things, the young Seidler developed an early interest in architecture. He keenly observed the design of every room of his apartment home and marveled at the construction of the Vienna Hochhaus (city high-rise).
In 1938, Seidler left Vienna and joined his brother in England to escape the Nazi Anschluss . Here, he studied building and construction at Cambridge Technical College. However, in May 1940, aged 15, he was interned on the Isle of Man as an enemy alien, then sent to a prisoner of war camp for 18 months in Canada. His diary from this time was later published as Internment: the diaries of Harry Seidler, May 1940 – October 1941. It was a traumatic experience that contributed in no small part to Seidler's tenacity and world-view.
Modernist' education
Dupain, Max (1911-1992), Portrait of Harry Seidler with Walter Gropius, 1954, photograph: 32 x 29.8 cm. Image courtesy of the National Library of Australia: nla.pic- an12660573.
Released from internment in 1941, Seidler began architectural training at the University of Manitoba,Winnipeg, Canada. After graduating with a Bachelor of Architecture, he won a scholarship to the Harvard School of Design, studying under Walter Gropius, founder of the revolutionary Bauhaus school of design, and his protege, Marcel Breuer; two of the 20th century's most iconic modernist masters.
In Gropius' Master Class, students were urged to create a better man-made world. They were taught that architecture must be socially responsible; a marriage of social use, aesthetics and technology. For Seidler, this became a fundamental design principle from which he never deviated.
In 1945, Seidler worked briefly for modernist Alvar Aalto before undertaking a design course at Black Mountain College in North Carolina with artist, Josef Albers. Around this time, he also worked briefly for Breuer in New York, and later with Oscar Niemeyer in Rio de Janeiro. Working in Rio's warm climate and learning about sun protection would soon prove valuable. Seidler's next destination was Sydney, Australia – where his parents had relocated after the war.
The captive client' in Australia
Seidler's first and best known house was built in Turramurra, Sydney. It was commissioned by his mother, Rose Seidler; an irresistible captive client. It's glass-walled, open plan, flat-roofed, elevated cubiform is still considered an uncompromising expression of the Bauhaus principles. In 1951, it won Seidler the first of many awards; the prestigious Sir John Sulman Medal.
Seidler, Marcell (1919-1977), [Rose] Seidler House 1935-1966, Royal Australian Institute of Architects, New South Wales Chapter. Image courtesy State Library of New South Wales: PXA 6900.
For a young, ambitious and identity-seeking Australia, the Rose Seidler House created a sensation. Such a dramatic use of sun, light and air had never been seen before; it was a clear response to its time and place.
Seidler established his business in 1949 and filled numerous commissions for the glass box' house over the next decade. However, the attention attracted by his houses was not always positive, and he was often drawn into conflict with local councils over design issues. Such clashes continued throughout his career.
In 1958, Seidler married Penelope Evatt. He built their home on a hand-picked block of land in Killara, where they two raised their two children, Timothy and Polly.
Growing buildings ... and business
From the 1960s, Seidler's commissions grew to include apartment buildings and commercial offices. His business, Seidler & Associates, peaked in the mid-1980s, employing 42 people to work on five major projects.
Seidler frequently collaborated with artists and engineers, such as Alexander Calder, Frank Stella, Max Dupain, Sol Le Witt, Pier Luigi Nervi and his mentor, Joseph Albers. It was a style of working wherein new design and construction ideas were forged. Notably, Seidler's designs evolved to include the use of geometric curves, which began to feature in his work.

Seidler's approach to urban design was distinctive in its boldness. He opted for tall, high-density buildings that afforded public spaces and incredible views at time when such ideas were new to Sydney and Australia. Often misunderstood, many Seidler buildings attracted controversy, and in some cases harsh criticism.
Residential apartments
Seidler's first major apartment commissions were the Ithaca Gardens Apartments in Elizabeth Bay (1960) and the Blues Point Tower apartments in McMahon's Point (1961). Other notable examples include the Arlington Apartments at Edgecliff (1965–66), Horizon Apartments in Darlinghurst (1999) and the Cove Apartments at the Rocks (2004).
The Seidler apartments were a dramatic shift away from suburbia to city living.
Seidler, Harry (1923-2006), Blues Point Tower, 1958, architectural drawing. Image courtesy State Library of New South Wales. PXD 613 tube 147
Blues Point Tower was originally proposed as part of an urban design scheme for high density housing providing all residents with views and gardens. However, it was the only building of the scheme that was realised. Finished in 1961, Blues Point Tower was the tallest apartment block in Sydney. Although, in the 1980s, it was heavily criticised for its prominent placement on Blues Point, Seidler stood by it as one of his best buildings, with its surrounding open spaces and spectacular harbour views.
Seidler also developed the award-winning Wohnpark Neue Donau in his home city, Vienna (1993)—virtually a whole suburb. This dramatic estate of social housing comprises 850 apartments, most with water views of the Danube, built across an eight-lane highway.
Commercial buildings
Seidler's commercial buildings are significant for their inclusion of useable public space that integrates office and retail areas, parking and public plazas.
Dupain, Max (1911-1992), MLC Centre, Sydney, 1972. Image courtesy Harry Seidler & Associates.
Well-known examples include the MLC Centre (1972) in Sydney, the Australian Embassy in Paris (1973), the Hong Kong Club (1980), Grosvenor Place (1982) in Sydney, the QV1 Office Tower (1987) in Perth, Shell Headquarters (1989) in Melbourne, the Riverside Centre (1987) and the Riparian Plaza (2005) in Brisbane.
It is Seidler's Australia Square (1961–67) however, that is arguably the most significant: at the time, it was the world's tallest lightweight concrete building; it employed a radical circular design set around a public plaza; and its construction broke new ground by using pre-cast concrete for its facade and core. With one of the world's leading engineers, Pier Luigi Nervi, Seidler changed the face of Sydney's CBD and created an icon.
Meinecke, Dirk (b. 1965), Ian Thorpe Aquatic Centre, Sydney, 2007, Exterior of Centre. Image courtesy Harry Seidler & Associates.
The last public building designed by Seidler was the Ian Thorpe Aquatic Centre (2007) in Ultimo, Sydney. It has a dramatic wave-like shaped roof, and makes use of natural light and ventilation.
Other curves along the way
For 30 years, Seidler taught architecture in Australia and overseas, including the University of Sydney, Harvard University and the University of British Colombia. He also travelled extensively, and photographed what he considered to be '...the peak achievements in architecture and the built environment ... around the globe'. A selection of images, along with Seidler's commentary is published in The Grand Tour (2003).
Seidler is also known for fearlessly expressing his views, publicly. He was openly contemptuous of bureaucrats and administrators; he marched against the dismissal of Sydney Opera House designer, Jørn Utzon; he denounced post-modernism as architectural AIDS'; and as recently as 1998, he accused Australian architects of not measuring up to international standards.
Seidler's architectural journey spans decades of commercial and critical success. Among his awards and honours, are five Sulman Medals, four Wilkinson Awards, seven various honours from the Royal Australian Institute of Architects, the Royal Institute of British Architects Royal Gold Medal (1996), a Companion of the Order of Australia (1987), and he was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (1992).

In April 2005, Seidler suffered a massive stroke, from which he never fully recovered. He died 9 March 2006, aged 82. His beloved wife, 'Penel' still resides in the iconic Killara home, and manages Seidler & Associates' finances.

, updated March 28, 2013 at 6:43 AM
The posts, ambiguous and cryptic at first, started popping up on Facebook early last Friday. Most of them came with a picture of young men in makeup, with dyed spiky hair, dressed in slightly ravaged military-style jackets, like some post-apocalyptic version of Adam & the Ants.
One message showed such a picture, with the text "heavy sigh – we will never forget you" typed beneath it. I started to put it all together, just as the news seemed to explode across the social mediasphere – alternative/emo outfit My Chemical Romance had broken up. No one had died; there didn't appear to have been some interband squabble; no one appeared to have swallowed the ego pill, suffering beneath the delusion that they were the big star in the band, and needed to drop the dead weight and make a solo album.
No. My Chemical Romance broke up because the band members simply felt the group had reached its sell-by date.
I can't say I experienced any emotional upheaval over this revelation. I was never very much a fan of the band. The music – a grandiloquent and bombastic commingling of pop-punk tendencies and the sort of vocalizing that might best be described as an incessant whine – never hit home with me. (Though it clearly hit home with a broad listenership, whose members purchased millions of the group's four studio albums.) I thought MCR was a better band than the similar Fall Out Boy, certainly. But that's not saying much.
I caught the group, fronted by singer Gerard Way, in concert a number of times, and did note a widening of the musical scope with the 2006 concept album "The Black Parade." Still, I would not classify myself as a fan.
In fact, my favorite My Chemical Romance song isn't really a song at all – it's a tweet. Way penned and posted this tweet, on Monday morning, apparently after reflecting on Friday's announcement over the weekend. Reading, I felt strongly that this was the finest piece of art Way had yet produced. It's thoughtful, provocative, a little bit narcissistic. But most significantly, it raises some serious issues regarding the mass consumption of popular music – issues of musical and personal integrity, and the idea of walking away without turning back when the time comes to do so.
"(A)ll of the things that made us great were the very things that were going to end us," Way writes.
"Fiction. Friction. Creation. Destruction. Opposition. Aggression. Ambition. Heart. Hate. Courage. Spite. Beauty. Desperation. Love. Fear. Glamour. Weakness. Hope. Fatalism.
"That last one is very important. My Chemical Romance had, built within its core, a fail-safe. A doomsday device, should certain events occur or cease occurring, would detonate. I shared knowledge of this 'flaw' within weeks of its inception. Personally, I embraced it because ... it made us perfect. A perfect machine, beautiful, yet self aware of its system. Under directive to terminate before it becomes compromised. To protect the idea – at all costs. This probably sounds like something ripped from the pages of a four-color comic book, and that's the point. No compromise. No surrender. No [expletive]. To me that's rock and roll. And I believe in rock and roll."
Whoa, now. So Way is saying that My Chemical Romance was designed to implode when things began to lose their luster? The band had agreed upon "a directive to terminate before (the music became) compromised"? The members would rather kick the whole thing in the head than proceed in a compromised fashion, in the interest of "protect(ing) the idea – at all costs"?
This sounds a bit like the spy who, captured in the field of duty, heroically swallows a cyanide capsule rather than divulging top secret information to the enemy. Or Socrates, choosing death by poison hemlock over permanent exile from the city he loved.
Way's rambling but clearly inspired tweet/rant never gets into specifics. We don't know how My Chemical Romance's vision had become compromised. Beyond recounting an epiphany during a 2012 concert – a moment when the singer realizes that he is "acting" on stage, and that he's "never acted before" – Way avoids specifics. He just asks the band's sizable audience to accept that the group's time is up, that it has run its course, and that it is better to say bye-bye than to hang around while "the idea" became compromised.
This might seem a bit melodramatic to some, and in truth, a tendency toward melodrama was always evident in MCR's music, and was a major factor in my inability to warm to the band too much.
But it's a radical idea that Way is espousing here, and it's one that stands at loggerheads to the prevailing wisdom of contemporary popular music. That prevailing wisdom urges the performer/musician to milk the cow until absolutely nothing comes out. Killing the goose that lays the golden egg is not a popular notion in pop.
But Way and his bandmates have done exactly that.
"My Chemical Romance is done," Way writes. " But it can never die. It is alive in me, in the guys, and it is alive inside all of you. I always knew that, and I think you did too. Because it is not a band – it is an idea."
I can't help but respect Way and his cohorts for having the fortitude to follow through on this "idea," leaving the stage and essentially ceding the music to the fans who might now take the inspiration they gleaned from the music and carry it forward in their own lives. Way's got a point – bands come and go, but the spirit of creativity – the "big idea" – is bigger than any one band.
Of course, now that I've written this, My Chemical Romance will probably pull an Eagles, and spend the next 20 years offering sporadic "reunion tours." But then again, maybe not ...

ALBANY – Before the Seneca Nation of Indians pays even part of the $572 million it owes the state and local governments in casino revenue-sharing money, it wants the Cuomo administration to make several concessions, including giving it casino development rights in downtown Rochester.
The Senecas also seek an extension of their current casino compact with the state for Western New York and restrictions on new gambling devices at three area racetrack-based casinos.
They are making these demands during arbitration proceedings, including a session held last week in Syracuse, according to sources who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The Senecas also have said they want to pay less than the $572 million they are holding in escrow for the state and the cities of Niagara Falls, Salamanca and Buffalo, where the tribe's three casinos are located. The Senecas have argued that the state should be financially penalized for permitting what the Senecas believe are state-sanctioned violations of their casino compact by allowing banned forms of gambling in their casino exclusivity zone of Western New York.
Shortly after the Senecas' demands were made, the Cuomo administration last weekend proposed to place a new, non-Indian casino in Niagara Falls in direct competition with the Seneca Niagara Casino.
That proposal is seen as a possible state bargaining chip in talks with the Senecas, though Cuomo has earned a reputation for making good on his threats and is said to believe that Niagara Falls could support a new casino.
The Seneca Nation and the Cuomo administration both declined to comment Wednesday, citing a confidentiality order imposed by Judith Kaye, the former chief judge of the state's highest court who is serving as chairwoman of the three-member arbitration panel hearing the dispute.
Those with a stake in the talks say the sides are clearly at a crucial point and that, in the end, both the Senecas and the Cuomo administration need to come away with some political and financial victories.
"This is the moment. This is the point at which this issue is in the process of being decided. The parties are at the edge of the falls here, if you will, at the point of no return," said Niagara Falls Mayor Paul Dyster, whose city is owed more than $60 million in Seneca casino revenue-sharing payments.
"They're either going to look at each other and say, 'This is crazy. How do we settle our differences?' Or, they're going to take one last look at the issue and say, 'I don't care if I go down, I'm going to take you down with me.' Governing is the art of compromise," the mayor said.
Dyster also said he has no details on any demands by either side in the arbitration case.
But individuals with knowledge of the closed-door proceedings, who spoke this week with The Buffalo News, said the Seneca demands were met with sharp opposition by the state.
The settlement plan that the Senecas proposed includes rights to develop a casino in downtown Rochester. Former Seneca President Robert Odawi Porter first floated the idea of a Rochester gambling hall in 2011.
Since the federal government backed away from allowing Indian tribes to build off-reservation casinos, it is believed the Senecas want Cuomo to add Rochester to the list of seven possible sites where the state might permit a new casino. The Senecas could then seek to develop a Rochester facility, possibly with a non-Indian partner.
The Senecas also have demanded the state ban any new electronic gambling devices at three racetrack-based casinos – Hamburg, Batavia and Finger Lakes – that are within the exclusive gambling zone granted the tribe in its 2002 gambling compact with the state.
The Seneca Nation also has been concerned that the state permitted local racetrack gambling halls to market themselves as casinos instead of "racinos." Those facilities have gambling but cannot offer table games, such as poker.
The Senecas also want smoking rooms shut down at Batavia Downs Casino, the facility run by Western Regional Off-Track Betting Corp., sources said. That facility is owned by Buffalo, Erie County and other Western New York counties.
The Senecas permit smoking at their casinos, while other betting facilities do not.
Batavia, though, allows smoking for its bettors as a carve-out to the state's clean indoor air act.
The operators of those track casinos, which provide tens of millions of dollars annually to the state in revenue-sharing payments, are anxiously awaiting the outcome of the state-Seneca arbitration.
One potential result would be an agreement to allow the region's racinos to have full gambling licenses, with table games and real slot machines, to compete with the Senecas.
In the event that does not happen, which appears certain if Cuomo has his way, the racetracks want to be shielded from new gambling competition.
"My only concern is if the arbitration award is upheld and we can't have anything other than what we have," said Dennis Lang, chief executive officer of Buffalo Raceway and its Hamburg Casino at the Fairgrounds. "That's OK, as long as you give some type of protection that you wouldn't have another full-fledged casino in Orchard Park or Buffalo or someplace like that. If we were able to have a full-blown casino here, that would be great. If we can't, we need some protection, and that's OK, too."
Another racino operator appeared unconcerned about the Seneca-Cuomo dispute.
"I can't see any effect on us or the other two casinos in Western New York by the arbitration. That's the opinion of our legal counsel," said Michael Kane, president and chief executive officer of Western Regional Off-Track Betting Corp.
Officials with Buffalo's Delaware North Cos., which owns the Finger Lakes Casino and Racetrack, did not respond to requests to comment.
Another demand that Seneca negotiators have put on the table is an extension of the casino compact signed in 2001 by then-Gov. George E. Pataki and then-Seneca President Cyrus Schindler.
The compact, which took effect in 2002 after approval by the State Legislature, expires in 2016, though there is a provision for an automatic renewal period of seven years if neither party objects.
The tribe wants at least the additional seven years guaranteed as a way to protect its exclusivity arrangement and pave the way for future investments that might be financially difficult if the compact expired, sources said.
Dyster, the Niagara Falls mayor, said he hopes the state and tribe can come to a negotiated settlement before an arbitration decision, which could cause additional problems by making one side the clear winner or loser.
The Senecas, he said, need to come away from the dispute with their sovereignty unblemished and with guarantees for future financial success to build off the 2002 compact. The state, he said, does not want the Senecas to be part of any opposition campaign to Cuomo's statewide casino-expansion effort, if the plan goes to voters in a November referendum.
The state might win the arbitration battle, he said, but the Senecas are not without clout.
"The Senecas still have a ton of money, and then they could engage in a statewide lobbying effort to sabotage what the governor is trying to do in terms of his program bill and casino referendum," Dyster said.
Niagara Falls is "kind of stuck in the middle of this thing," he said, noting that the Senecas' fight for exclusivity works financially for the city, while the state fighting to get money the state and localities are owed also works.
If there was one silver lining Wednesday, Dyster said, it is that the Cuomo administration and the Senecas were not discussing the closed-door talks with The News.
"Both sides have respected Judge Kaye's wishes that the matter before the arbitration panel not be discussed. I find it hopeful that they're both respecting the rules of the game," he said.

Most NFL teams are hit by the injury bug week to week, but the big question is which players on the injury report will suit up and take the field on Sunday?
The New England Patriots have struggled mightily in the passing attack with injuries to key receivers such as Danny Amendola and Rob Gronkowski. While Amendola's status is a bit more bleak for Week 3 (doubtful, groin), Gronkowski's status is still up in the air (questionable, back/forearm), per ESPN.com.
A team like the Denver Broncos has been playing at a high level this season, but they haven't even been at full strength on defense with an injury to Champ Bailey (questionable, foot) who hasn't played this season. Linebacker Shaun Phillips (questionable, back) is also among the walking wounded in Denver, per ESPN.com.
Reggie Bush got off to a stunning start to his Detroit Lions career in Week 1. Injuries have been a concern for Bush throughout his career, and this week is no different as he isn't expected to play but is still listed as questionable with a knee injury, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Each of these players' absence will not only have a staggering effect on their respective squads, but fantasy owners must get the low down on each in order to avoid getting a big fat zero in the box score.
Aside from the players mentioned, there are other marquee names listed on injury reports that fans must keep an eye on in order to know who is healthy enough to play and who isn't—which can also help provide a better insight as to how particular matchups between teams will go.
Luckily, you can keep it right here for all the latest updates on these stars as the news becomes available.

Menshov won Russian Cup so perhaps now Kovtun competes at JW? In which case, winner is up in the air. If neither Yan or Kovtun complete, the podium is up for grabs, maybe skaters like Hino, Jin, Kolyada, Uno, or Omori can wind up with medals!
Menshov won Russian Cup so perhaps now Kovtun competes at JW? In which case, winner is up in the air. If neither Yan or Kovtun complete, the podium is up for grabs, maybe skaters like Hino, Jin, Kolyada, Uno, or Omori can wind up with medals!
I just saw Han Yan's name disappeared from the entry. Wonder if it suggests he is going to Senior Worlds or he is injured.
And in some ways, idk what to expect. Maybe we are in for a surprise. I love Josh's skating and would be thrilled to see him win, but he just had a stunning Nationals so I wonder if he may have peaked there and whether or not he'll be able to pull out another great pair of skates here. Jason is due for a really good competition, but the 3a is still so new so not sure what to expect. Maybe Hino could pull an upset and win the whole thing? His skating has really grown on me this season, I especially like his SP.
Contenders for a medal. After all, Hino can't win all three
Sorry to hear Keiji Tanaka's injury and withdrawal.. He had such a great moment at this year's Nationals with his passionate Free skate.
Hope Hino gets onto the podium, and he and Uno can make secure three spots for the next season. Best of luck to Ryuju and Shoma!
Seems like Han Yan will be going to the Senior Worlds, after such a great showing at 4CC. Sooo scaring to other senior skaters in London!
Hino beat Brown by just 0.6 points at the GPF, and only because Jason popped the axel in the FS. Previously, Brown had beaten Hino at Courchevel. Jason has a 4-point PCS edge over Hino in the SP, and an 8-point PCS edge in the FS.
Just because Josh Farris skated well at Nationals doesn't mean he peaked there. Nationals is a much tougher competition than JW, and Josh had succumbed to nerves at both of his previous Senior Nationals. That he held together this year shows he has learned to compete under pressure. I don't see that as a negative.
All I meant was that if Farris struggles like he did at JGPF and Jason doesn't hit all his 3a attempts, then Hino COULD win with a pair of good skates. He's not a favorite, of course, or well maybe for a medal but not to win, but I could see it happening.
Where'd the bloodbath go?
Oh well, Joshua vs Jason Round 35643698374694387, and a chance to add a new 1-2 to their already illustrious collection.
I must say, if Jason hits all of his 3As and Joshua goes clean, I will be verrrrrrrrrry interested to see how their scores compare. Jason's PCS is so good, it might counterbalance the difference in TES with the 4T.
Joshua should easily win this
will be contended by Hino, Brown, Jin
outside shots are Shoma and Alexander
I predict :
1 Farris
2 Hino
3 Boyang
4 Brown
5 Samarin
6 Uno
15-17 Kolyada
Why Kolyada so low?
If Joshua is clean and lands 4t he should win even if Jason is also clean. At JGPF and Nationals they were virtually tied in PCS and that's usually the case with them, one gets maybe a point more than the other, so TES should determine the victory. Josh was so close to Yan last season with no quad attempt because Yan, who did land a quad, only attempted one 3a. So one 4t and one 3a isn't much of a TES bump over two 3a with one in combination. Then there was also Yan's 2-1-1 combo. Josh's current layout has two 3a (one in combo with 3t, the second in the bonus) and the 4t so that's the difference, in Lake Placid where he skated so great and landed the quad, he still didn't quite top his FS score from JW because he doubled his second planned 3a and URed a 3lo - the 2nd 3a in the bonus makes a big difference TES wise.
Anyways, apart from Josh skating perfectly, there's no clear winner here. Does Hino have a quad and will he try it here? He's such a good jumper and has had 3a for a long time, I feel like he can probably do a quad but idk if he tried it at Japanese events yet. Edge calls could play a factor in the outcome here too.

Joshua has quads with very good pcs , Jin has a chance to win silver or bronze with his quads and ambitious jump layouts while Hino has more consistent triple axel than Jason

Again, another great course by a great instructor.
I have taken other classes from this instructor and I enjoy learning from him. He has a style that is very good for me. He is challenging as well.
I have taken several on-line courses and the interaction between the instructor and students in this course is by far the best I have seen. Neal did a super job and his follow up in the discussion area was wonderful. Great class thanks to our instructor
I wish that every course was taught like this one. I am now addicted to this kind of interaction and am going into more classes. Thank you so much for all of the effort that you placed in this course.
Mr. Bevans did a fine job in presenting what could have been a very dry and boring subject. Out of all the on-line courses I've taken this has been by far the most interesting. I appreciate the opportunity to study on-line and will definitely watch for other courses offered by this instructor.
Thank you very much as I am in the middle of a workers compensation case of my own right now. I can go to the hearings and not feel so lost. Thank you again for this informative class.
The course was very helpful, The instructor was very helpful. Going through my own WC case, I now know what to expect. Anybody going through it, or has a loved one going through the WC system, would benefit greatly from this course.
This course was exceptional. Material presented was relevant and I acquired a vast amount of knowledge. Thank you!!!

BEAUFORT — Beaufort residents have gotten a look at the new Joint Strike Fighter that is to be based at the Marine Corps Air Station.
Two of the F-35B jets visited the Marine Corps Air Station on Tuesday. About 150 people were on hand for the invitation-only event to see the new aircraft. The fighters will be part of the training squadron moving to Beaufort next year.
Those who attended included elected officials and contractors working on construction projects to get the base ready for the new jets that will replace the F-18 Hornets.
The Marine Corps Air Station will eventually be home to three combat squadrons and two training squadrons of the new F-35Bs.

BERLIN — It took 16 years to get a workable product, but Tozer Seeds Ltd. has a cross of two of the hottest vegetables in the consumer market.
Flower Sprouts are a nongenetically modified hybrid cross between brussels sprouts and kale that produces a stalk small rosette "flower" heads of kale. The heads have streaks of purple edged with frilly leaves.
The flavor is a great combination between the nutty taste of kale and sweet flavor of brussels sprouts, said David Rogers, United Kingdom sales director for Tozer Seeds.
"It's very versatile, very easy to use," he said. "It takes no preparation and can be stir-fried, steamed or even microwaved."
Rogers said the company offers Flower Sprouts in the United Kingdom, available at select retailers, but it's also grown in California.
"We're very optimistic that it's going to be available in various countries around the world very soon," he said.
