In a car with my boyfriend and some of our friends, I was listening to the loud bass of the song "Gasolina" by the reggaeton artist Daddy Yankee, when I looked at my watch. It was already 10:03 p.m. and we were just heading to a movie theater. "I'm having second thoughts," I said. "Remember, I have to be home early."
"Damn, Jen, you're 18," one of my friends complained from the back seat. "Why do you have to be home so early?" But I decided to go home. The last time I had stayed out past my curfew, my mother punished me by taking away my phone, and forbidding me from going out, for a week.
Now, parents like my mother are not the only New Yorkers who think a curfew is a good idea . Some members of the New York City Council would like a citywide curfew for teenagers. The curfew would keep anyone under the age of 18 off the streets and out of public places between midnight and 6 a.m. During those hours, police could stop anyone who looked like a minor and ask for proof of age. It would affect the 24 percent of the city's residents who are under 18.
In 2004, two Republican members of the New York City Council, Dennis Gallagher of Queens and James Oddo of Staten Island, proposed the curfew for the city, and while nothing has come of it yet, Gallagher said he is going to try to get the council to vote on the proposal this year.
"It's about helping children," said Gallagher. "There are those who may be out past curfew." Under this proposed law, "you could send them home. A large number of them may be getting in trouble."
Teens caught after midnight could be required to perform up to 25 hours of community service for their first offense. A second offense could result in 50 hours of community service.
Parents May Be Fined, Businesses Held Liable
Their parents could be held responsible, too. If they let their children out past midnight, they could be fined up to $75 for the first offense.
Business owners and their employees would be held liable under the law if they knowingly allowed kids to hang out at their businesses after midnight. They could get fined up to $250 for a first offense.
There would be several exceptions to the proposed law. Minors could be out after midnight if accompanied by a parent, guardian or an adult age 21 or older, or if they were working or traveling directly to or from their workplace.
Would It Reduce Crime?
Several parents I interviewed are in favor of the citywide curfew. They argue that the curfews are necessary to keep young people out of trouble. They also say that teenagers are more likely to get in trouble late than they would during daylight. With a curfew, police wouldn't have to wait for teens to commit crimes before moving young people indoors.
By keeping young people off the streets at night, parents say curfews will protect teens from becoming victims of crime.
After curfews were implemented in San Diego, California, violent crime by juveniles dropped by 20 percent and violent crime against juveniles dropped by 40 percent. In Dallas, Texas, and New Orleans, Louisiana, juvenile arrests dropped by about 20 percent after curfews were put in place.
But teens and others who argue against curfews say that the public is misinformed about the number of crimes committed by teens. A five-year-old report entitled "Off Balance: Youth, Race and Crime in the News" demonstrated this: 1998 was a year in which violent crime by youth was at its lowest point in 25 years. Nevertheless, 62 percent of that people surveyed in that year believed that juvenile crime was on the rise.
The study also found that when youth appear in the news it is frequently connected with violence, even though youth do not commit the majority of violent crimes. A close look at 840 newspaper stories and 109 network news segments that appeared across the nation in 1993 found that 40 percent of newspaper stories and 48 percent of television stories about young people were about violence. When it came to children, there was more overall coverage of crime and violence than of all other policy issues combined, the study found.
Here in New York City, where juvenile arrests accounted for only four percent of the total arrests in 1999, the New York City Youth Media Watch found that New York Times articles published between January and March 2000 over-represented youth crime and school violence. Moreover, reporters most frequently quoted police about youth crime, as opposed to teens themselves or the adults in their lives.
It's hard to tell which came first – the media's associating youth with violence or the public's fear of youth in general. Either way, "In an environment in which fear of youth crime and actual crime are so out of sync," writers of the Off-Balance report found, policies affecting young people, like teen curfews, "are bound to be influenced."
Would It Increase Safety?
Many parents, like my mother Arelis Morron, say they believe in curfews not because they think their kids are going to commit crime, but because they worry about their kids' safety. "It's very dangerous to be out in the streets so late at night, especially for young girls," my mother told me. "There are many men out there who have perverted thoughts and will not let anything stand in their way to accomplish them."
I worry about my safety too. Before I met my boyfriend who has a car, when I violated curfew in the past, I ended up walking the 15 minutes back home from public transportation by myself. I'd get scared and tried to watch for people who were walking behind me.
Even many teens I know understand that curfews might be a good idea, even if they don't like them.
"Parents try to teach you good morals and they want everything that is best for you," said my friend Michael Frankowski, 18, a recent graduate from Christ the King HS in Queens, who now attends Farmingdale University. "That's why they give you curfews."
Not the Government's Job?
But even many of the teens who do believe in curfews say that setting them is a parent's or guardian's job, not the government's. And some believe that curfew laws can violate teenagers' constitutional rights, like freedom of association and freedom of speech. (I'm pretty sure my boyfriend isn't thinking about my constitutional rights, though, when he's pressuring me to hang out and break my curfew.)
Me, I've had the same curfew since I was 16. Even though the proposed curfew would allow teens over 18 to stay out past midnight, I'd still have to be home by midnight at the latest. My friends think my mother is way too strict.
"I believe 18 is the age you should not have a curfew, because you know what is right from wrong and you are mature enough," said my friend Jennifer Fernandez, 17, a recent graduate of Grover Cleveland HS, who now attends New York City College of Technology.
Of course my mother doesn't agree, and I'm not so sure myself. Although I envy most of my girlfriends who do not have to be home until 2 or 3 a.m., I often think about them and wonder, "Do their parents realize that their daughters are out that late?"

Craig Rhyne, Mount Pleasant Town Council Member, has announced that he will not seek re-election.
His four-year term is officially up for grabs in the Nov. 5 election.
Rhyne was elected to the Mount Pleasant Town Council in 2009. He currently chairs the personnel committee. Councilmember Rhyne also serves on the annexation, bids and purchases, fire and water supply committees of council.
"Four years ago, when my wife and I made the decision to run, we knew it would be hard work and take dedicated time away from my oral surgery practice and family. It truly has been a great experience. I hope I'm afforded the opportunity to serve again in the future," Rhyne said in a statement.
"This will likely be after my children have grown and when I have more surgery partners and associates as my practice continues to expand."
Rhyne said he regrets being unable to serve again because he feels like the town benefits from council members with tenure who understand the slow progression of growth and change in Mount Pleasant.
"For instance, Ms. Stokes-Marshall was always a valuable source of history for me in knowing how property was originally developed or how an agreement was made with citizens."
He added, "It would be in the best interest of the citizens to elect another young family and business person and understand and accept the time limitations of that council member. When I run again, it will be with the knowledge that I can invest more time in town planning and citizen events. My hat is certainly off for the hardworking and very skilled Mount Pleasant town employees, staff and volunteers."
Rhyne explained that his entire adult life has been about service and he would like to see and encourage others to serve as well. "I have been asked by many to run again and I wish that I could. But another day will come. I've actually tried to convince my wife, Jennifer that she should run. I know she'd make a great asset to the town. Maybe she will accept the challenge."
In addition to spending more time with his family fishing, scouting and traveling, he plans to volunteer for the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources and be more available for mission work.
Craig H. Rhyne Jr., DMD, is a native of Mount Pleasant, and the son of Dr. and Mrs. Craig H. Rhyne Sr. He attended Mount Pleasant Academy, Moultrie Middle School and Wando High School. He was a 1996 Citadel graduate and a graduate of the Medical University of South Carolina College of Dental Medicine before becoming an oral and maxillofacial surgeon in the U.S. Army.
After serving as a facial trauma and reconstructive surgeon Rhyne was honorably discharged as a major in 2008. He and his wife chose to return home to raise their family and begin his private practice, Palmetto Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.
Rhyne lives in Mount Pleasant with his wife Jennifer and their three children.
The Rev. Anthony Kowbeidu, at St. Andrews Episcopal Church and Timm Gipe, a real estate broker and developer, have announced they will run for town council.
Mount Pleasant Mayor Billy Swails announced this summer he would not seek a second term. Only former town councilman Joe Bustos and current councilmember Linda Page have announced they're running.
Town council also is not expected to have more than two incumbents in the at-large race for four seats. Page is running for mayor instead of another council term. Council members John Burn and Elton Carrier are the only incumbents up for reelection. As of now, only Carrier has announced a bid. Filing will continue through noon Aug. 26. The town's elections will be held Nov. 5.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Federal lawmakers expressed their disappointment that the 112th Congress was unable to pass the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2012.
The VAWA is a nearly 20-year-old piece of legislation that provides funding and resources to state and local advocates working with victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. The bill typically receives bipartisan support in both the Senate and the House of Representatives, but West Virginia's lawmakers said this was not so with the 2012 bill.
In an informal meeting with members of the Berkeley County Council Monday morning, Republican Congresswoman Shelley Moore Capito said she was upset that the VAWA was left laying at the conclusion of the 112th Congress.
"It got hung up in politics," Capito said. "The (VAWA) should not be hung up in politics."
Democrats expressed similar sentiments. Congressman Nick Rahall, who represents the state's third congressional district, and Sen. Jay Rockefeller said the bill's failure to pass was a result of legislative gridlock.
Rockefeller, a cosponsor of the bill and the original 1994 law, said in a statement the House Republicans would not bring up to vote the Senate VAWA, which he described as a "stronger" piece of legislation.
Capito said there were three areas in which lawmakers could not agree to pass the legislation, but said she would not go into exactly what those were. She said she believed a VAWA reauthorization bill would make a return to Congress, and that she understands the uncertainty anti-domestic violence organizations are feeling.
"People can't just pay people on a promise," Capito said, responding to an earlier Journal report that stated two federally funded positions at the Shenandoah Women's Center would be cut if VAWA was not reauthorized in the next legislative session.
Capito and Rahall said in statements to The Journal VAWA is an important piece of legislation and will continue to be a priority.
"I am optimistic that the new Congress will renew its efforts to reauthorize the law and work to build on the negotiations from the previous Congress to achieve a bipartisan consensus," Rahall said.
"We absolutely need to make sure that families are protected from domestic violence and sexual assault, and feel safe in their own homes and communities," Rockefeller said.
Congressman David McKinley, of the state's first congressional district, did not return calls for comment by press time.

Bet you didn't know your food was ranked for its harmful effects, but it is. And it's not the food itself that's a problem, it's the chemicals and pesticides it's sprayed with that can cause damage to your body.
If you ever wonder if it's worth it to buy organic produce, the Environmental Working Group takes the work out of the question for you. They create a list every year ranking fruits and vegetables by the amount of pesticide residue they contain. Called the "Dirty Dozen," the list advises consumers which items they should avoid unless they're organically produced without chemicals and pesticides.
The group says you can cut your exposure to harmful pesticides by 80 percent simply by buying organic when purchasing these 12 fruits and vegetables. They worst offenders, in order, are:
1. apples
2. celery
3. sweet bell peppers
4. peaches
5. strawberries
6. imported nectarines
7. grapes
8. spinach
9. lettuce
10. cucumbers
11. domestic blueberries
12. potatoes

John Batiste hears the spin coming out of Albany about how New York is open for business and wonders how this could be the same state that, until two months ago, was pushing for a 45 percent hike in the Thruway tolls on trucks.
Batiste, a former Army general who now is president of Klein Steel Service in the Town of Tonawanda, sees the ongoing fight to make New York a more business-friendly place in military terms. While there's been some progress, the battle is far from won.
"The fog is lifting," he said. "What we need to do, as the business community, is to maintain contact. We need to keep pushing."
To be sure, there have been some significant advances that will help make New York a better place for business. The regional economic development councils have taken an economic development bureaucracy that dictated policy from Albany and gave community and business leaders a real say in developing a plan that plays to each area's strengths. The promised Buffalo Billion is giving the council even more economic ammunition.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo's budget proposal would reverse a $3.5 billion deficit accumulated by a state unemployment system that currently pays out more in weekly benefits than it takes in through the taxes it imposes on employers. The budget plan also would make significant reforms in the state's long-criticized workers' compensation program that could save as much as $900 million a year.
"The New York business community, for a number of years, has been in a fog," said Brian Sampson, the executive director of Unshackle Upstate, a business-backed group that has been pushing for lower taxes and relief from what it sees as onerous and costly regulations and state laws.
"You never knew what was going to hit next, but you knew it wasn't going to be good," Sampson said. "In the last couple of years, the fog has gotten thinner."
But E.J. McMahon, a senior fellow for the conservative Empire Center for New York State Policy, said all the spin about the state being open for business is far too premature.
"We need to get the governor and Albany to take down the 'Mission Accomplished' sign," he said. "We've got to do a lot more."
McMahon said the economic development councils have succeeded in generating a serious discussion about the strengths and weaknesses of each region and the obstacles they face in the quest to invigorate the sluggish upstate economy. But McMahon, a self-described "skunk at the garden party" said the discussion, so far, has been pretty one-sided.
"My impression is that the regional councils are here, mainly, to make an impression," he said.
More important, McMahon said, is to continue with the harder tasks of easing the state's regulatory burden and reducing the cost of government.
Until that happens, the state will have to keep relying on doling out lucrative incentives to the smattering of lucky businesses that manage to convince state officials that they can't do without a handout that, for projects like Albany Molecular's new facility in the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, can cost taxpayers upwards of $50 million for 250 jobs in the rosiest of scenarios.
"The most important thing this whole effort is about is creating a region that competes better for private investment and not just a few scraps from Albany," McMahon said. "The handing out of checks is not significant economic development – unless you're getting one."
McMahon is especially critical of Cuomo's downstate-centered proposal to dole out more than $400 million a year in tax credits for movie and television projects.
"It's a very glamorous, high-profile business that's populated by people who are very generous with political contributions," he said. "If you're not paying attention, you're going to be taken advantage of."
Unshackle Upstate's Sampson said the best economic development approach often isn't the sexy one. Usually, it's more important to focus on helping businesses that already are here.
"We don't do a good job of retaining businesses," he said. "The simple fact of the matter is you have businesses here already. Focus on them."
"Most of the businesses here aren't going anywhere because they have roots here. Let's figure out how to expand those roots."
Sampson also said there's still a glaring need for reforms in a handful of state laws that have long been targets for the upstate business community. Those include the Taylor Law, which regulates how governments and labor unions negotiate contracts, and the Triborough Amendment, which keeps the provisions of lapsed contracts in place pending a new agreement, as well as the Scaffold Law, which holds contractors automatically liable if a worker falls from a height, even if the worker contributed to the fall. There's also the Wicks Law, which critics say drives up costs by requiring multiple contractors on government projects.
And while Cuomo's proposal for a new, less lucrative tier of pension benefits for state workers will help reduce government costs, Sampson said more mandate relief is needed.
"There have been small steps, but we haven't done enough," Sampson said. "The mandate relief that has not come from Albany is going to be the noose around the neck of upstate taxpayers."

They traded pats on the arm and whispered in each other's ears while a Common, Talib Kweli and Kanye West surprised the crowd with a six-song live performance. Also making the scene: Alicia Keys, Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman, who costar with Affleck in the movie, and Chris Rock.
Jessica and Ashlee Simpson, shopping at Barneys New York in Beverly Hills. "Ashlee was flipping through the dress rack," says a shopper. "Jessica was playing fashion designer, helping her sister find the perfect dress." Also browsing separately in the store: Maggie Gyllenhaal, who was looking at a pink shirt with a butterfly emblazoned on it.
Taye Diggs, hanging out a table with a large group of people at Teddy's lounge at the Hollywood Roosevelt. At one point, he chatted and danced with actress Leelee Sobieski. The Hills star Lauren Conrad also chilled with pals as Brody Jenner sat at a nearby table.
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, purchasing big bags of gummy bears, trail mix and gum before boarding an international flight at Los Angeles International Airport. The sisters – wearing heavy coats, scarves and their signature oversized sunglasses – then walked into United Airlines' first-class lounge area. "They both reeked of cigarette smoke," says an observer.

Salaried Workers Spend 49 Hours a Week at Work
A new Gallup survey corroborates what many American workers have known for a while: they're spending more than the standard 40 hours per week working.
On average, full-time workers spend 47 hours a week at work; salaried full-time workers spend even more time: 49 hours. 40 hours is considered full-time according to federal employment laws.
The findings are from Gallup's annual Work and Education Survey, in which it surveyed 1,271 U.S. workers aged 18 or older from 2013-2014. Previous Gallup data show that the 47-hour full-time workweek is nothing new: The number has been fairly consistent over the last 14 years of surveys, dipping only to 45 hours in 2004-2005
The reasons for working the number of hours we do depend on a number of factors, some personal and others dependent on employers. For example, employers might not want to pay overtime for hourly workers whereas employers aren't likely to complain if salaried workers put in more than 40 hours. Additionally, some who work full-time do so by working multiple jobs. According to Gallup, 12% of workers have two jobs, and 1% have three or more.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average weekly hours of all private non-farm workers was 34.5 in July, a statistic that factors in the number of hours per job, not person.
Though long hours are typically seen as a way to get ahead, they might actually hurt worker effectiveness.
"The worst advice I ever heard about running a business is to buy into the myth of long hours and never-ending hard work," according to Wayne Rivers, co-founder and president of the Family Business Institute and author of books about family and closely held businesses. "It crowds out time you desperately need to plan, dream, meet, develop your employees, and deliberate on the future of your business so that you can get ahead of the firefighting curve and, finally, prosper."

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band kick off their Australian tour tonight, or tomorrow, depending on which hemisphere you're in — setlist watchers here in the U.S. are going to have to stay up pretty late or get up pretty early if they want the scoop in real time. You can check out what time it is in Australia here, mate.
And don't worry: You can stop by here at Blogness around the start of your workday after each concert to see what got played and whether or not any of the songs have a particularly Australian flavor. (A Peter Allen cover? A full-band "Let's Get Physical"? Could happen.)
Meanwhile, in the absence of any real Springsteen news (hello, U.S dates?), Springsteen mentions in the media have been ranging from the ridiculous to the sublime. You can decide for yourself where the picture above fits into that range. (Thanks to @mpslater, I think.)
The latest Bruce news from around the Web:
Springsteen photo exhibit kicks off Oz tour. Syndney Morning Herald asks, "Why should you be interested in Bruce Springsteen?," and then answers its own question. �I guess my only hope now is to see if they�re hiring at the Springsteen factory over in Eldridge." (Yep, The Onion.) Buzzfeed has sexy Springsteen photos, for people who like that kind of thing. A religious take on life, death and "Wrecking Ball", via @adoriot. The Guardian's Old Music blog offers a thoughtful post on Springsteen's "Racing in the Street." Springsteen deemed one of the 10 "most charitable" celebrities. The Airborne Toxic Event channel Bruce Springsteen (so who doesn't?). 10 weirdest Springsteen crafts, via stereogum.com … be forewarned that you won't be able to un-see these. Jessica Springsteen continues her winning ways.
Finally, I have no idea what the story is behind this picture (found here), but it's AWE-SOME! (Even if the needle's not on the record.)

Yatai Ramen Twist @ Breadbar
Well....here goes!
Complimentary Bread from Breadbar
Cold Tofu
Duo of Gyoza (Top: Pork Feet, Bottom: Kale) $8 for 5 pieces
Spicy Miso Ramen
Oxtail Ramen
Foie Gras Ramen
Shoyu Ramen
Pork Curry Ramen
Frankly, I should have known to stay away from ramen in West Hollywood, so I won't make the same mistake a second time. If you want a delicious and cheap bowl of ramen, stick with Santouka and Hakata Shin Sen Gumi, as those two places have never done me wrong. I could probably have avoided writing this post all together, but since the Yatai Ramen Twist will be going on through 7/24, hopefully I can save one person from trying this place out and experience ramen at a better place. It always pains me to have a bad meal, especially one that's overpriced as well.
When I was young, I was taught "If you have nothing good to say, you shouldn't say anything at all," but I'll stray this time and proclaim, avoid Yatai Ramen Twist!
Oh ya, one more thing. If you're looking for a hot bowl of noodle ramen, I think you're at the wrong place also. Even though our group did take pictures, the soup broth was lukewarm at best. I doubt the time we used to take pictures caused that issue. Lukewarm ramen broth = FAIL!

Dr. Jason Highsmith's practice involves the full spectrum of neurosurgery, from pinched nerves to brain tumors.
He chose the field partly because of its variety and rapid technological advances. He has already seen a great deal of change since 2000 when he started his six-year neurosurgery residency. "The options we have surgically are much improved. Less invasive options are more prevalent," he says. Many of the procedures Dr. Highsmith currently performs are minimally invasive back surgeries, which may only require an overnight hospital stay. Yet he has a conservative approach to recommending surgery and believes that in most situations non-operative solutions should be exhausted first. His desire to educate patients led him to join a respected roster of experts on the editorial board of the website SpineUniverse. That, in turn, led Penguin Publishing to invite him to co-write "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Back Pain," just published in 2011.

Man's Best Friend Lives Up to the Name
By Jessica Friedel, NAMI Communications Intern
Although our soldiers are returning home after serving in Iraq and Afghanistan for nearly a decade, their battle is far from over.
USA Today recently reported a study conducted by mental health teams from the Army Surgeon General's Office, which shows that nearly 20 percent of all soldiers report symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Standard treatments for the disorder involve diminishing symptoms with prescription medications or exposure therapy. However, with cases that are resistant to typical methods of treatment, alternative means are being employed.
Veterans are now commonly experimenting with non-traditional treatments such as massage therapy, acupuncture and yoga. Holistic wellness centers, such as the Fort Bliss Restoration and Resilience Center in Fort Bliss, Texas have been set up to help soldiers treat their mental illness both emotionally and spiritually. According to an article in The New York Times, no method of treatment for PTSD has been as popular as service dogs.
Often thought of as providing service to the blind or elderly, service dogs are now helping veterans cope with PTSD in a number of ways. Although there is little scientific evidence showing how or why the dogs alleviate PTSD symptoms, there are studies underway and an abundance of personal stories that show they seem to provide soldiers with comfort and help them cope.
Former Navy officer Tori Stitt told The New York Times that her service golden retriever, Devon, can sense when she is nervous and responds by standing close or putting a paw on her lap. By needing walks, Devon forces her to leave her apartment and possibly interact with people. Stitt also admits to sometimes forgetting to take her medications, but Devon is trained to remind her. Devon's most important task, however, is to provide Stitt with emotional support.
In fact, pet owners in general are less likely to suffer from depression and high blood pressure than those without pets. Some studies have shown that one of the reasons pets seem to have such a positive influence on their owners is that they fulfill the basic human need to touch, which quickly manages stress. Additionally, playing with a pet can elevate levels of serotonin and dopamine, which calm and relax.
A 2009 survey conducted by NAMI discovered that about 20 percent of people living with depression have used animal therapy in treatment, with 54 percent finding it "extremely" or "quite a bit" helpful.
However, an Army policy implemented in January limits how soldiers can get service dogs. The new policy mandates that dogs can only be provided by organizations approved by Assistance Dogs International (ADI), which does not have affiliated chapters in 18 states. Soldiers in one of these 18 states have to obtain service dogs elsewhere, which is substantially more difficult and expensive.
Sharan Wilson, executive director of Freedom Service Dogs (FSD) of America, Inc., an ADI-affiliated service dog organization told MSNBC that she believes that the Army policy is an attempt to address problems with unqualified service dog providers. According to Wilson, the Army has to recognize the professionalism of the service dogs to understand that they aren't like normal pets. It takes between six and nine months to train one of her service dogs.
This policy also requires soldiers to seek eligibility for a service dog from their commander and a panel of health-care professionals. Fort Bliss recently implemented a policy that requires soldiers to exhaust all other treatment options before applying for a service dog. These policies started being issued after a six-year-old boy was attacked and killed by a service dog at Fort Campbell, Ky. on Jan. 29.
Former U.S. Army Captain and service dog owner of four years, Luis Montalvan told The Daily Mail that he understands the fervor to ensure that safety standards are met when it comes to the training of service dogs, but feels the new policy is too narrow and has left many soldiers "without the means of recuperating."
Matt Kuntz, executive director of NAMI Montana, has launched an online petition calling on Secretary of the Army John McHugh to revise the new policy. "For some soldiers, access to their service dogs may be the difference between life and death by suicide" writes Kuntz. Just over five years ago, Kuntz lost his step-brother to a suicide that was a consequence of injuries he sustained while serving in Iraq.
A middle ground will hopefully be reached between the need to ensure the dogs are properly trained while still being able to provide them in a timely manner to the many soldiers who are requesting them.

Southwest Airlines offers movies on demand, upgrades TV programming
Southwest Airlines is now offering movies on demand on many of its flights and has upgraded the programming of its on-board TV service, the carrier said Tuesday.
As of Feb. 6, all of Southwest's newer airplanes – its Boeing 737-700s and 737-800s – have on-board WiFi.
"This milestone represents nearly 75 percent of all Southwest aircraft, which completes the retrofit installations," Southwest said in its announcement. "Moving forward, all new deliveries and AirTran conversions will enter service with Row 44 technology installed."
As readers of Airline Biz may remember, I tried out Southwest's television package last year and quickly became bored with its limited offerings. At that time, I was assured that the service was just being tried out and there would be more coming.
The extra appears to be "on-demand episodes of popular television shows," according to the airline's release. That would be an improvement from the small group of news and sports channels that was initially provided.
Here are the options for entertainment and information on board a Southwest flight:
■ On-demand movies, $5 per movie per device.
■ Television programming, eight channels of news and sports and the on-demand episodes, $5 per device.
■ WiFi Internet connectivity, $8 per device.
You don't have to have subscribe to WiFi to obtain the movies or TV programming. For that matter, you don't get the TV programming and movies by simply paying for the WiFi connectivity.

Sometimes, it feels like iPhones get all the app lovin' – especially when you're one of the 21 million people using a BlackBerry smartphone for work and/or play.
As the top mobile phone for businesses, it makes sense B2B marketers would be on the hunt for apps that make their jobs – and lives – easier. Unfortunately, as this blogger puts it, the BlackBerry App store can seem like a pawn shop that only sells used 8-track players, as app development for the BlackBerry hasn't experienced the same fast and furious push as the iPhone.
Still, the BlackBerry was made with businesses in mind, and its applications can make B2B marketers' jobs more efficient on the go. Here are a few that touch the platforms marketers are already – or should be – using to connect with customers:
1. Twitter
Twitter has changed the way companies market themselves, 140 characters at a time. There are many great examples of savvy B2B marketing campaigns set to the tune of Twitter, but not nearly as many useful apps to help marketers use the microblogging service on the go. Last week's announcement of an official Twitter for BlackBerry app may change that, but it is not in full release yet. The app many BlackBerry users are familiar with is TwitterBerry, which was recently rebranded as OpenBeak. Despite the rebrand, the service's clunky features have placed it behind newcomers with more features.
UberTwitter has become the Twitter client of choice for most BlackBerry users, including myself. This client lets you switch between multiple accounts (a plus for those juggling personal and professional accounts), see Twitter users near you and navigate through a clean, uncluttered interface. TwiXtreme earns points for its colorful layout (tagline: The first BlackBerry Twitter client that makes you happy) and Seesmic for BlackBerry is a good choice for users familiar with the Seesmic desktop version.
TweetGenius ($7.99) comes with a hefty price tag, and even heftier features (including a bit.ly URL shortener, extensive options menu and built-in themes) many users have deemed worthy of its cost.
2. Offline to Online Networking
Much has been made about the importance of online to offline networking, but what about taking "real life" encounters and sustaining them online?
After a day's (or night's, weekend's or week's) worth of meetings, conferences, trade shows and social events, business cards of potential customers can start to add up. CardSnap ($4.99) takes photos of these cards using your phone's camera and converts them into contacts stored in your phone.
3. Blogging
Whether you write an in-house B2B blog for your business or contribute case studies, commentary and best-practices to a B2B industry blog, there are BlackBerry apps available for many of the most popular blogging platforms.
WordPress for Blackberry allows users to write posts, upload photos and videos, edit pages and manage comments from its mobile interface. Both WordPress.com and self-hosted WordPress (2.7 or higher) sites are supported. TypePad users can blog on its mobile BlackBerry application, while Blogger users are stuck with posting via email or text messages (SMS and MMS).
4. Location-based apps
They're still a work in progress, but location-based apps and services are poised to be the next must-add to a business' marketing mix. According to this article, there are now more than 6,000 location-based iPhone apps, 900 Android apps and 300 BlackBerry apps, putting BlackBerry users in the minority when it comes to becoming familiar with the platforms their clients and potential customers may be using. In addition, nearly half of the location-based service apps in the BlackBerry app store are paid clients, keeping adoption rates even lower.
Foursquare, a leader in the location-based app world that was called "the next Twitter" by Mashable, just introduced a free beta version for BlackBerry 8000 and 9000 series users. The service combines location updates with a user point system, and it has attracted the attention of businesses looking to reward and connect with loyal customers.
Loopt, a similar service minus the gaming aspect, also has a BlackBerry mobile version, and, while not an "official" in-house app, myKite for BlackBerry (previously known as BrightBerry) takes Brightkite on the road.
In the coming weeks, we'll be looking at other BlackBerry apps that help public relations pros and sales teams better compete in the B2B space. What BlackBerry apps have you found helpful when it comes to managing your marketing mix, engaging on social sites or keeping up with the industry and competitors?

Sean Lowe has got just three ladies left on his TV quest for love.
And while in Thailand with Ashlee, Lindsay and Catherine on Monday night's episode of The Bachelor, he'll have to let one of the women go. Which may prove to be a very tough decision, if the previews are any indication and because the three ladies are so different from one another.
Lindsay (the one who showed up in the wedding dress):
The 24-year-old substitute teacher (with the Army general dad) from North Carolina is "sweet, supportive … someone I could picture marrying," Sean tells PEOPLE.
AshLee (the serious one with the emotional adoption story):
"I can tell she will be a wonderful mother," says Sean of the personal organizer from Houston. "She truly has a heart where she just wants to love a man."
Catherine (the one with the sisters who think she isn't ready to settle down):
The Seattle native and graphic designer, 26, "fits the best friend mold," says Sean. "We have fun together, can be passionate at times and she's also very intellectual."
So who's going to leave Thailand in tears? AshLee has been considered a frontrunner for several weeks now, but The Bachelor franchise is famous for its end-of-season curve balls, so perhaps she's the overly obvious choice. Catherine, meanwhile, strikes us as the dark horse, but that could just be the way the show's been edited. And Lindsay ... well, could the girl who shows up on night one in bridal wear really make it to the end?
(P.S. Please don't post finale spoilers in the comments for those readers who like to be surprised!)

Buffalo public and charter school students now have the opportunity to gain a free ride to Harvard. Or Duke. Or Notre Dame, Northwestern or Georgetown.
These five prestigious universities added their names to the growing list of private schools that have agreed to cover the tuition costs of all income-eligible students participating in the Say Yes to Education program.
Say Yes to Education founder George Weiss made the announcement Monday in Syracuse, the next nearest school district to have a Say Yes program.
"Say Yes is about hope," Weiss said. "When you have these five great universities say, 'We care about you, and we want to help you fulfill your dreams,' I think that's a great message to the kids."
Duke, Georgetown, Harvard, Northwestern and Notre Dame join 24 other private institutions, as well as all 74 colleges and universities in the SUNY and CUNY systems, in providing scholarships for eligible Buffalo high school graduates.
Unlike some private colleges partnering with Say Yes, these five distinguished universities are placing no limit on the number of Say Yes students they will accept, as long as the students gain admission on their own merits.
"As many as can get accepted, they'd be delighted to receive," Weiss said.
Buffalo students from families earning $75,000 or less would be eligible for fully covered tuition to a private college if they attended a Buffalo public or charter school since kindergarten.
There is no maximum income threshold for students who commit to attending one of the state colleges or universities, including the University at Buffalo, SUNY Buffalo State and community colleges.
The percentage of tuition scholarship coverage decreases if the student attended Buffalo schools for fewer years, with students who enroll as late as ninth grade receiving 65 percent of tuition coverage.
Students from families earning more than $75,000 would still be eligible to receive grants of $5,000 a year from Say Yes if they choose to attend one of the private schools affiliated with the program.
The Buffalo chapter of Say Yes to Education was founded last year. The Class of 2013 is the first class to be eligible for Say Yes scholarships.
These scholarships provide gap funding that covers the difference between a college's tuition and whatever other financial aid grants or scholarships a student receives.
The scholarship money – $18.5 million so far – is raised primarily through donations by Western New York businesses, organizations, families and individuals. Fundraising is ongoing as the organization works toward its initial goal of $30 million.
That investment of local, private dollars is crucial, said David Rust, executive director of the Say Yes Buffalo chapter.
"It's been critical to Say Yes' ability to recruit more private colleges," he said. "They see a foundation that's growing and committed to children citywide."
The list of participating colleges includes numerous local institutions – Canisius College, Medaille College, Niagara University, D'Youville College, Daemen College, Hilbert College, Houghton College, St. Bonaventure University, Trocaire College, Villa Maria College and Bryant & Stratton College.
The list also includes many outside the region, including Ivy League schools such as Columbia University, the University of Pennsylvania, and now Harvard.
Donald C. Bishop, Notre Dame's associate vice president for undergraduate enrollment, said in a statement that more young students need to be inspired with the knowledge that no level of college is beyond their grasp.
"Too many students of great ability, creativity and heart from families with no tradition of going to college are not looking at the top universities with a sense of possibility," he stated. "We want to reach out to these students earlier and provide the guidance and support to inspire them to match their talents with the right college choices."
For a full list of all participating colleges and more information about the Say Yes Buffalo program, visit www.SayYesBuffalo.org
The scholarships provided by Say Yes are only one component of the overall program taking shape in Buffalo. The program also will provide an entire toolbox of student support services that will continue to roll out over the next several years – ranging from tutoring services to free legal aid and health care.
"A school like Harvard is not an option for every kid right now, but what we're working on is providing students in every school the tools to be accepted and successful at schools like Harvard," Rust said.
By next school year, Say Yes site facilitators will be working to provide support services to students in 60 percent of all Buffalo public schools, and half of all the schools also will begin offering after-school and summer programs for students.
Say Yes Buffalo currently has 27 facilitators in Buffalo schools and expects to have 35 in place by October. Facilitators are scheduled to be in every Buffalo public school by 2015-16.

Just after most recent updates I started having issues with my XBOX 360 console not turning off. It started after an update about a month ago was using my media remote to watch Netflix and when I turned the system off the power indicator light continues to flash for several seconds and then it shuts off. Last week after an update the power light flashed but then system turned back on. I tried using controllers and pressing power button with same results, console shuts off then back on. Now after another update on Friday then controller indicator light stays on even when I use the media remote which it never did before.
On some forums they have suggested turning off background download I didn't have it on in the first place. I don't have anything in the queue and I have deleted system cache. If the update is the cause a fix should be included in a future update but there are also those who think Microsoft is uploading information about your activity. This makes me wonder if they are watching me through my Kinect. I don't know what is more troubling, the fact that they are watching or that they can see what I'm doing.
I wasn't too happy with the new screen and user interface to begin with and now it's more like a vending machine that is OUT OF ORDER.
Sometimes my console wont shut off, I just unplug the main power supply and all is back to normal.

I love how everybody seems to blame their issues on an update. You wanna know what the latest update did? It fixed party issues and fixed an issue with Kinect and the English language. Where in that do you see anything that could affect your power not turning off? The update before that required all free trials to add a credit card, does that have to do with the power not turning off? No. Blame it on the update all you want, doesn't mean you're right. The update doesn't bring problems with it, it simply brings to light problems that were already there beforehand, and makes you aware of them, so you can fix them.
You're not being watched through Kinect, and if you believe you are, simply turn off Voice Data Collection in your Privacy settings.
As for your power issue, it could be an issue with the power supply, in which case simply unplug it when you turn it off. Problem solved.
I just started having this problem today. My 250gb turned on by itself... saying there was a controller connected when there was none. I connect my controller and it connects to controller 2... ? Turn it off it immediately turns back on. I have it unplugged right now, tried to unplug and replug but problem persisted. Now I know the simple solution could be to unplug it everytime but that is ASININE. Why the F would that be considered a solution? I agree you shouldn't just blame the update but if many people are having the problem all of a sudden like... maybe some of the code went FUBAR somewhere.
Anyways, I'd like someone to post a solution outside of the obvious "just unplug it everytime you want it to turn off"
Have you enabled Cloud Storage BlueKnightSky? If you do it stays on a couple seconds after you power off to sync with the server... the indicator should flash a couple times and then it should turn off... its normal.
Its not like it takes a second to power down, which I would consider normal. Its turns on and stays on showing a "Phantom" controller. Even left it unplugged for awhile, plugged it back in a few hours later with no phantom controller. Started playing and suddenly a phantom controller "connected", didn't effect gameplay but I had to unplug the damn thing to get it to turn off again. *Le sigh*
Hey there BlueKnightSky! This is certainly odd. Do you live with other people who own an Xbox 360 console? Or in lose proximity, perhaps? Such as an apartment building with thin walls, etc.
Raspy - Can you also answer the above question as well? We're just wanting to make sure we fully understand both of your situations. :)
Emily - Program Manager @ Xbox, Xbox One Preview Program
Sure thing, yes I do live with another 360 in the same apartment. I can't say whether or not others in the building own one aswell but there are around 40 units in this building so I can only assume so. That said, why would this suddenly start happening a year after I bought my upgraded 360?
From the sound of it, someone in the same building has an Xbox controller on the same wireless frquency as yours, or you may have a problem with your plug socket, try plugging it into another socket, see if that helps. If that doesn't, you could try a different power supply, from the sound of it you may be able to borrow one.
Xbox Community Ambassador
Unfortunately I can't borrow the other power supply, ive got the slim he has the older elite. Power input in different :/ i'll check around and see if someone I know has one to borrow and try it out.
Now I'm hoping I'm not speaking too soon. But... I tried disconnecting from my wireless network and no "phantom" controller appears. Plus it doesn't perma power on. Just reconnected to xbox live and no problems yet... I'm hoping the problem is fixed and I won't argue with the result if it is.
So that's what it is BUNTA SAN because just today it stayed flashing like for the whole night like 7 or 8 hours just flashing but this is the first time because it would flash for a few seconds and then it would turn off.....so when I woke up I noticed it was still flashing I turned on my Xbox and then turned it off in a few seconds it stopped and went back to normal.....weird but I hope it won't happen frequently
Greetings, EVIL SANTA82. Thanks for bringing your question to the forums. As this thread is quite old can you please create a new one for us? Be sure to include a full description of your situation as well as the error code you are seeing and any troubleshooting steps you've tried so far. Thanks very much!
How to use the forumsRetired Support Agent - No PMs please!
I had the same problem, just turn Cloud Storage and Background Downloads off.
I had this issue as well. It turned out that when I put away the controller, it was upside down and it's weight was on the "on" button.
Hey there
Welcome to the forums.

The Guess Who and Chris Cagle with special guests The Henningsens will take the stage during the 77th Mountain State Forest Festival, according to an announcement by Director General Cricket Leary.
Tickets will go on sale for the two music shows at 10 a.m. Friday.
The Classic Rock Show will kick off Sept. 28, with The Guess Who beginning at 8 p.m. in Harper McNeely Auditorium on the Davis & Elkins College campus. The first evening of the festival will be made possible with sponsorships from Elkins Fordland, WV Lottery, WBOY, WDNE 98.9 and The Inter-Mountain.
The Country Music Show will close out the festival Oct. 5, also at the Harper McNeely Auditorium. The concert will begin at 7 p.m. with The Henningsens, and Chris Cagle will take the stage at 8 p.m. Sponsors for the show include WV Lottery, WBOY, WDNE 98.9 and The Inter-Mountain.
The Guess Who became Canada's first international rock music superstars, beginning in 1962 as Chad Allen & the Reflections. Quality Records released the group's first single and album, Shakin' All Over, in a plain white record jacket with only the questions "Guess Who?" written on it. The marketing play capitalized on curiosity and the promise of another British Invasion band. It worked. After selling 2 million copies, the band had its trademark name The Guess Who.
Following the success of Shakin' All Over, the band toured the United States as part of Dick Clark's Caravan of Stars Road Revue. In 1967, the band landed a regular spot on the TV show "Where It's At." The band moved on with recording Wheatfield Soul, which was released in 1968 and provided the band with a No. 1 single in Canada, "These Eyes." The band's second album for RCA, Canned Wheat, also released in 1968, contained the Top 10 hits, "Laughing," "No Time" and the Top 40 hit "Undun" (the B-side of "Laughing").
Ironically, it was "American Woman," from March of 1970, which gave The Guess Who a No. 1 single in the U.S. and unseated The Beatles for three weeks straight. The Top 10 album, also entitled American Woman, containing the hits "No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature" (the B-side of American Woman), also went to No. 1 in the Billboard for three weeks. In all the group has 14 Top 40 hits to its credit.
Meanwhile, Cagle's professional credits include two gold albums, two No. 1 albums and 12 charted songs. From 2000-2008, Cagle released an almost nonstop catalog of hits that resulted in a scorching hot career. Cagle's musical character and burning ambition never wavered, but today, Cagle's personal perspective has mellowed. The artist's forthcoming album is, in more ways than one, a new lease on life.
Cagle's first No. 1 smash, "I Breathe In, I Breathe Out," remains a fan favorite. Cagle's 2012 release from Bigger Picture Group is his homecoming - a rekindling of his creative flame and a roaring reminder of his rock-infused country roots.
While assuring his fans that the Chris they love hasn't changed, Cagle sees his new persona as a better version of himself.
"I want my music to be an environment, to strike chords, passions, memories, faults, loves, angers and redemptions," he said. "Imagine my music just on the outside of town right where the road turns to the rural route. A dirt road cul-de-sac with trucks all parked in a circle. I would love to see my music fit into that."
His music has been firing people up for more than a decade, and this time around, he is chomping at the bit for an energetic reintroduction to the country music community that's been a long time coming. Fans will still see flashes of the performer they know but they'll also see the joy and confidence that home life provides.
The concert will be a mix of his old favorites and new album, Back In The Saddle.
Cagle's special guests The Henningsens are a family trio, with their first single and album title track called "American Beautiful." The Henningsens showcase a sound that is fresh, vibrant and uniquely their own.
It's their gift for songwriting that first began turning heads in Nashville, with writing credits on multiple albums, most notably the Platinum-certified debut from The Band Perry.
Tickets for both concerts may be secured online through the Mountain State Forest Festival website at www.forestfestival.com or by calling 304-636-1824.

Great product Review by Kevin L.
I bought a machine. I searched many websites and stores and Total Body Experts was by far the best price. I was naturally a little suspect on their customer service with such a low price, however their service from beginning to end was exceptional. The order process was easy and they followed up with me to confirm the deliver date and again after I received it to make sure everything was OK. I will definitely do business with them again.

Happy Customer Review by Tim P.
We purchased a Treadmill from Total Body Experts. Outstanding customer service and follow-up. We were amazed at the personal service and follow-up we received from an Internet based company. Fair pricing and they assisted in helping the right product to fit our needs. They didn't try to sell us more than we needed. Would recommend to others and we will certainly purchase from them again.

Monday, May 12, 2014
U.S. Navy Captain Eugene F. Paluso, will be the new commandant for the S.C. Corps of Cadets at The Citadel, the school announced last week.
The commandant of cadets is a vice presidential position responsible for the command and oversight of the 2,300-member Corps of Cadets. Paluso graduated from The Citadel in 1989 with a bachelors degree in mathematics.
He is currently a U.S. Navy SEAL officer on active duty as the commander of the Naval Special Warfare Group Three at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
The group consists of 700 specialized SEAL and fleet personnel. Paluso will retire from the Navy after serving for approximately 25 years, before taking his post as Commandant at The Citadel.
During his career, Paluso has held leadership roles commanding special operations forces in Africa, Iraq and Afghanistan.
He has led men and women in combat at all levels.
His service awards include the Defense Superior Service Medal, Defense Meritorious Service Medal, Bronze star, Meritorious Service Medal (2), Joint Commendation Medal (2), Navy Commendation Medal (5), Joint Achievement Medal, and the Navy Achievement Medal.
The position of commandant reports directly to The Citadels President, Lt. Gen. John W. Rosa.
I am confident that Captain Gene Paluso will be successful as the new Commandant of the Corps of Cadets. As a highly decorated officer in the U.S. Navy, he brings a wealth of experience that will help shape our young men and women into principled leaders for all walks of life, said Rosa.
Paluso, who will start mid-summer, will replace Col. Leo A. Mercado, USMC, (Ret.), who is a member of The Citadel Class of 1979.
Mercado, who joined The Citadel as commandant in 2009, is retiring from the college.
His tenure is marked by the implementation of a single standard for all cadets that stresses the schools core values of honor, duty and respect.

Beaver Baffles
From Outdoor JournalMore on this episode »
When it comes to making things out of wood no animal is more persistent and more proficient than the beaver. Beaver dams provide valuable wet land habitat for several species of fish and wildlife. But these same dams can cause a lot of damage to roads and septic systems. In this segment, we look at a unique project called the "Cooperative Beaver Baffle Demonstration Project" that uses water control structures to properly manage beaver dam water levels.

We now own waterfront property.
My wife and I watched a new stream flow through our side yard and feed a rising pond in the back. It didn't last long enough to stock it with fish, but the weather has kept our soil saturated for days.
Several plants have struggled because their roots require oxygen to properly function. Wilting can occur when the soil is saturated, especially when it's hot. Plants are attempting to transpire but the root activity is limited.
There are times when a shrub has been planted in clay and wilts due to transplanting shock and low soil oxygen. Sometimes it will drop leaves. This is referred to as wet wilt. If the cause is not investigated, a homeowner will add more water.
There's nothing you can do about the weather, but you can remedy your property.
Some plants thrive in wet conditions, even grow in standing water.
Consider perennials such as iris, umbrella grass, swamp hibiscus, Northern sea oats or canna.
Water-tolerant shrubs include inkberry, sweetspire and leucothoe.
Water-tolerant trees include swamp oak, black gum and willow oak. Bald cypress, too, but the knees can be a problem in residential areas.
Go to Clemson's Home and Garden Information Center for a complete list (www.clemson.edu/extension/hgic).
If your soil is heavy or poorly drained, there are a couple of other options.
A clay hole can hold water like a container. Instead, plant on berms. Topsoil can be shaped into sloping mounds to allow water to drain properly and roots to quickly establish. In some cases, an entire berm does not need to be constructed but rather generously mounded for a tree or shrub.
Drainage systems can be installed to lower the water table or allow water to percolate through the soil. Tile drains utilize perforated corrugated pipe, called drain tile, to capture and remove water. That name is confusing because we're actually talking about flexible drain tubes, or pipes, not square pieces of tile.
However, the original drain system utilized clay tiles, and even though we now use plastic tubing, the name remains drain tile.
Perforated drain tile is typically four inches in diameter and allows water to enter through small slits that surround the entire pipe. They are sometimes sold with a geotextile sock to filter out contaminates to keep the drain tile functional for a longer period of time.
Some newer drainage products wrap the drain tile inside a sleeve of Styrofoam peanuts to make installation easier and more effective.
Trenches are typically eight inches wide and should drop about an inch every 10 feet for suitable flow.
Once the fun of digging is finished, a couple of inches of drainage stone is placed on the bottom. Angular drainage gravel, such as No. 57 stone, provides plenty of pore space for percolation.
The drain tile is placed in the trench and covered with the remaining gravel with a minimum of two inches on top. If the Styrofoam peanuts product is used, the drainage gravel isn't needed.
It's important that the drain tile be sloped toward an outlet where water can be discharged, such as a ditch or pond and not your neighbor's yard.
For many people, this is the main obstacle: no suitable outlet. That's where French drains can be helpful.
The French drain is a gravel-filled trench. Since it doesn't contain drain tile, it has no outlet. It's designed to facilitate water movement off the surface and into the ground.
The trench can be any dimension you want, but it's typically eight to 24 inches wide and up to 36 inches deep.
The trench is sometimes lined with weed fabric before it is filled with drainage gravel to filter out sediment to slow the clogging of pore spaces. In nonturf situations, it can be filled to the surface with gravel.
Drainage systems aren't permanent solutions, but they can be effective for several years or longer, depending on conditions.
