Facebook fleshed out a new money-making scheme last week that, if Mark Zuckerberg and company decide to keep around, could significantly change how users interact with the social media site.
If you want to send a message to someone you aren't friends with, you'll have to open up your wallet.
Since December, various media outlets have claimed that users have been getting charged $1 to send messages to strangers—or friends that just aren't Facebook friends yet. The company described the system as a test.
You can still opt to send a free message, but your note will go into the receiver's "Other" folder, a spam-filled dump that most people never check. To get into the inbox and earn a notification/any real chance your message will be read, you have to shell out the dollar.
And, depending on the person, you may have to pay a great deal more. The social media site claims it's playing with "some extreme price points" in order to see "what works to filter spam."
What's an extreme price point? Well, to send a personal message to Zuckerberg griping about Facebook's poorly disguised cash grabs, you'll pay a cool $100.
Some are also claiming that the $100 digital postage stamp price is popping up for non-famous users, as well.
Whatever the real parameters of Facebook's experiment, the testing seems to have only raised the ire of users and the media.
"We knew Facebook was eager for new revenue streams. We just didn't know they were this eager," wrote Chris Taylor for Mashable (emphasis his).
"Facebook really is dead set on wringing money out of you," lamented Kate Solomon for TechRadar, "one way or another."
As the testing ramps up, Facebook could find themselves in a new PR disaster—maybe their worst yet. Opening up to high school students, constantly tinkering with the newsfeed, trying out potential "stalker" apps—the reaction to these was loud, but the fallout from this new monetization attempt could be deafening.
For advertisers, the experiment could mean a cheap way to reach new customer bases. If the feature takes off with businesses, though, it could also mean inboxes get so oversaturated with ads that users stop paying attention.
The auctioning of inboxes to the highest bidder is bound to have some negative reactions from Facebookers, so it will probably be smartest to hang back from the feature until the smoke clears. Then advertisers can make a smart decision.
There could very well be upsides to the new charges, however. It will at least make drunk messaging ex-girlfriends less appealing.

I am a member of the Red River Cowboy Church of Mangum Oklahoma. I have attended several churches in my life and this by far is the best. My 13 yr old son was baptized a few years ago in this church. He is still going strong in their youth group. There is so much love and positive fellowship in this house of God. I have never felt so welcome and loved by such a large congregation. Our little town doesn't have a lot of positive activities for our youth but this church has changed that with so many great God centered activities for our youth and also the adults.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
I attended Red River Cowboy Church on a Sunday evening in March. I and 5 other people from Peoria, IL visited this church to help them install restrooms and do some painting of a room that would become the Nursery, and also the entrance corridor. We were greeted with the warmest of greetings and spent a wonderful week with these people. I can say nothing but good things about everyone there. We met so many wonderful, sincere, friendly, and true believers in the Lord. They treated us like we had been there as long as the others. Talk about feeling at home -- it was great. I will never forget my trip there or the people I met. We all fell in love with the people and had a tear fest when we left. "They practice what they preach!" We all hope to go back sometime - hope it is sooner than later!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
my faith, and the rewards of giving of my time to help others.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
I would help the church to grow in any way that I could, even if I do live far away, I would make myself available to help them again.

The Parliamentary Committee for the Consideration of Bill has started its detailed scrutiny of the Bill introducing divorce, with fast progress being made in a meeting lasting several hours yesterday.
Agreement was reached on the clause that defines the way spouses apply for divorce. It was agreed that each of the spouses has the right to file for divorce. Where the spouses agree, they can file a joint application with the competent Civil Court.
Discussion focused mainly on Clause 66 of the Civil Code which establishes the four-year separation (in the previous five years) as a condition for an application for divorce.

Shelby County Public Schools announced Wednesday that six new teachers had earned their National Board Certification, brining the district's total to 54.
The district's press release showed Shelby County High School and Painted Stone Elementary each with two teachers earning the national recognition this year: Karin Ceralde and Julia Webb and Molly Davie and Heather Fallen, respectively.
Also earning their certification were Amy Vest from Southside Elementary and Kimberly Lewis from Wright Elementary.
The Shelby County Board of Education got a preview Thursday of the new accountability model that the district is in the process of receiving from the state.
"This is not everything," Superintendent James Neihof told the board at its meeting at the central office in Shelbyville. "There is still more to come."
There will be several language changes, with K-Prep replacing the familiar KCCT and the new Unbridled Learning moving to the forefront for CATS.
Shelby County Public Schools is hoping to jumpstart the careers of students who jumped out of school a little too early.
The district will begin a pilot program on Jan. 3 that will help students who dropped out of school before graduating finally earn their diplomas.
This program differs from the General Equivalency Diploma (GED) program in that students actually earn Shelby County diplomas instead of an equivalency.
The Kentucky Department of Education this week released its first school facility assessment scores, and the Shelby County schools included in the survey held up well.
The report, required by 2010's Senate Bill 132, focused on the condition and educational suitability of 484 schools in the state that were ranked lowest in the state's last such study.
Five schools from Shelby County fall within that range, and none was ranked in the bottom 100.
The Shelby County Board of Education has decided it wants to know more about foreign language in elementary schools.
The board, during Thursday's meeting at Collins High School, heard a presentation from Director of Elementary Schools Cindy French and Southside Spanish teacher Julester Bennett on the pilot program, now in its third year at Southside.
Students attend the Spanish class one a week as part of a rotation that includes music, art and physical education.
The Shelby County Board of Education received a perfect audit report during its meeting Thursday at Collins High School.
Mike Jones of Mather & Co. CPAs in Louisville said it was the first time in his 15 years of doing audits that he finished one that had no material weaknesses, no significant deficiencies and no other comments.
"This is extremely rare," he said. "I think the district and all employees should be proud."
The only recommendation that Jones could give would be to double check.
Shelby County Public Schools is preparing to find out more this week about the scheduled repair work for Collins High School's multipurpose field.
The topic is sure to stay in the forefront as the Board of Education gets back on track with a full meeting Thursday, coincidentally at Collins.
Although the field is not on the agenda, the board and Superintendent James Neihof surely will have questions.
The Shelby County Board of Education had thrown a "Hail Mary pass" on coming to an agreement with Whittenberg Construction on the repair/replacement of the unusable multipurpose athletic field at Collins High School.
The district had given the contractors until Thursday afternoon to begin work, and, in the waning seconds of the day, Whittenberg finally hauled in the pass, stating in an E-mail to Superintendent James Neihof that it in fact would repair the field
Parents of students at Wright Elementary continue to be alarmed over two letters sent home in three days about three incidents involving knives being found on school property.
Shelby County Public Schools Superintendent James Neihof said the district received several calls from parents with concerns, and he is ensuring parents that "additional precautions are and will continue to be taken to make sure students remain safe."
Parents, guardians and students at Shelby County schools now can access more school information on the go.
Earlier this month, the Kentucky Department of Education announced the addition of the Campus Mobile Portal App to tie in with the Infinite Campus Parent Portal that already was offered statewide.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of engineering and construction company Foster Wheeler (UNKNOWN: FWLT.DL ) climbed 11% today after its quarterly results and outlook impressed Wall Street.
So what: The stock has been volatile over the past year on concerns over weak global demand, but today's wide Q2 earnings beat -- adjusted EPS of $0.54 versus the consensus of $0.33 -- coupled with upbeat guidance naturally eases some of that worry. While revenue in the quarter slipped 8%, operating margins in both its global engineering and construction and global power segments increased nicely over the year-ago period, giving analysts plenty of good vibes about its profitability going forward.
Now what: Don't expect the operating momentum to slow anytime soon. "We are raising our full-year earnings guidance," said CEO Kent Masters. "We now expect our full-year 2013 adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations to be moderately above $1.54, due in part to the company's strong performance in the second quarter of 2013." Of course, with the stock flirting with 52-week highs and trading at a P/E around 25, much of that bullishness might already be baked into the price.

Malton School's mixed key stage three hockey team managed to finish top of the their group in the recent development cup competition organised by the North Yorkshure Hockey Development Group.
The tournament which was held at Lady Lumley's school saw Malton clinch wins against both Ryedale teams and Joseph Rowntrees School.
Only Lady Lumley's managed to beat them but as they had already lost one of their matches, Malton managed to secure the top spot.
The team, which is coached by Sam Beal, a governor and teaching assistant in an after-school club, is made up of Ethan Chan, Thomas Richardson, Sophie Watson, Kieran Sykes, Lucy Walker, Oliver Hildreth, Asha Wright, Kerri Scott and Sammy Holden.
They will now go onto face schools from the Harrogate and Ripon in the finals.

I'LL BE AT READING TERMINAL Wednesday night speaking at the fourth annual Racial Beer Summit. The event, sponsored by the MLK365 program of Global Citizen, is designed to promote race relations through open and honest dialogue.
Although the event may seem gimmicky — it plays on the original White House Beer Summit held by President Obama in the aftermath of the 2009 controversy between Henry Louis Gates and the police — it is still a necessary part of our effort to make the world more fair and just.
Why? Because race continues to matter now more than ever.
Of course, I'm not suggesting that the world hasn't improved on the racial front over the last 100 years. The fact that we have a black president, an expanded black middle class, and the ability to walk the streets without fear of lynching (Trayvon Martin notwithstanding) are all testimonies to our growth as a country. Still, race continues to influence our lives in critical ways.

The coaching search at the new Spring Mills High School went unexpectedly international.
The Cardinals - the school's nickname - made an impact in Italy before the Roman Catholic College of Cardinals visited the country earlier this month to gather in Vatican City, outside of Rome, to select a new pope.
And, no, there will be no white smoke when Spring Mills chooses the rest of the coaching staff for the new school in Berkeley County that opens in August.
Article Photos
While the few coaches selected so far -including a football coach - have come from the local geographica area of the Eastern Panhandle, Spring Mills athletic director Dan Comer received a surprise applicant one night recently when he checked his emails.
There was an inquiry for the boys basketball post from a gentleman who is now coaching a professional team in Italy.
"That one was interesting," Comer said. "It was kind of neat seeing that."
Mario, Guido or whatever Mr. Italy's name is won't be getting an interview, Skype be damned.
"We are making sure to identify and communicate with people in the school system first of all," Comer said.
The position wasn't even posted at the time, which really didn't stop anybody from tossing their credentials into the mix. School officials were choosing to wait until the end of the high school basketball season before targetting candidates.
There's an eagerness, though, Comer has seen up and down the dial.
Although jobs have been posted on the school district's website, the notices are often picked up by other Internet sites, and the applicants are pouring in from all over -even overseas, obviously. Basketball candidates - even though the job had technically not been open - have been coming from all over the Eastern seaboard.
The most-important aspect for any of the candidates: "They have to be good teachers before we even see them as coaches," Comer said.
That's part of the juggling act, melding teaching candidates with academic needs for the new school and then blending them into a coaching staff.
Comer's not looking for 9-to-5-type coaches either.
"We want to fill spots with people who are knowledgable about their sport and build a program - not just a team," Comer said. "It's a year-round endeavor. We want people with a plan and organized enough so that young people know about us - not just ninth graders, but all the way down to fourth graders.
"We're not building for a year, but for an extended period."
Spring Mills will have no seniors for its first school year, but the Cardinals will play varsity schedules. It'll be tough the first year, but that's why school officials want it to be imperative for the coaches to be putting their programs together with an eye beyond one or two years.
Comer also said school officials don't want Spring Mills' coaches to tell their players to limit themselves to a single sport. They want their student-athletes to enjoy the whole high school experience.
That goes for all of Spring Mills' students, be it athletics, the school bands or, say, an art club.
"We're telling them, 'Do something with the school after 3 o'clock,'" Comer said. "It makes the high school years so much more fulfilling to be involved."
Right now, Comer is heavily involved in selecting coaches who are skilled as teachers.
The promise is good enough that at least one person is interested enough to leave behind his country to join up.

A few months ago, I came to bed after DH had been asleep for about an hour. He rolled over, eyes still closed, and said "I wanna fuck" completely deadpan. Now, normally that wouldn't be a problem, but he said it in this really creepy, get over here and fuck me you whore voice, completely out of nowhere. It's just totally out of character for him. I said, "Oh really? Well good luck with that." He grunted and rolled over. I tried to wake him up but I couldn't. I turned on the light and said "DH, what the fuck is going on? You're scaring me." and he didn't respond. I felt all creeped out and slept downstairs.
He's said other things in the middle of the night randomly before this but I was always half asleep anyway. Stuff like, I'd roll over and put my hand on his back, and he'd say "Get the FUCK OFF me!" and not remember it in the morning. I just attributed it to weird sleep, half awake, dream stuff. He NEVER talks to me like that, he rarely cusses (as opposed to me who cusses all the time). He's a great guy - while he's awake. He works hard, helps around the house, is a great dad, rubs my feet when they hurt, etc. Good guy. We don't even yell at each other when we fight.
So a few weeks ago I woke up to his face 6" away from mine, with his whole body weight on his hand on my hip. He wasn't doing anything else, just laying there, leaning on me. I jumped and said "What are you doing!?" and he just mumbled "Sorry" and rolled over to sleep. I turned on the light and said "DH you need to wake the fuck up. Now." I didn't touch him because I was a little scared of him (totally new feeling for me, I have never felt that, but he is a big, muscle guy and I was totally confused.) He didn't wake up. So I took my pillow and went downstairs with a baseball bat and a knife and didn't sleep all night. Yes, it sounds ridiculous. But I did not feel safe, but I wasn't going to call the cops on my husband for...leaning on me? And not waking up?
In the morning he got up for work (4am) and came downstairs. I got up and went upstairs. He texted me after he left and said "Good Morning, Beautiful" (Our normal morning text) and I was like, no it isn't. So I called him and we talked and he didn't remember anything at all. I think he thought I was making it up for a while.
I searched online and found this thing called Confusional Arousal, which is related to night terrors in children. Basically you wake up in the middle of deep REM sleep and you're half in, half out.
I don't know what I'm looking for here. I'm lost. It took me a week to sleep in the same bed with him again. We made a decision that he would be getting more sleep and that if it happened again I was to try saying DS's name to snap him out of it. Like, instead of "wake the fuck up" say "DH, something is wrong with DS, help me".
Has anyone else experienced this? I have struggled with worrying that his inner self hates me and it is manifesting itself - though there are no other signs of him hating me. I know there is jealousy because I SAH but I have jealousy of him WOH and we have talked about it openly. We talk about a lot of stuff.
Tell me I'm not alone here!

There are bigger wineries in Pennsylvania, and a number with better views and attractions. But credit Adams County Winery with finding a niche and sticking with it for several decades.
The winery west of Gettysburg, Pa., on Saturday will celebrate 25 years of producing its signature Tears of Gettysburg, a sweet white made from the niagara, vidal and seyval grapes. A half-hour ceremony is planned in the early afternoon. It will include former winemaker Tom Campbell and his wife, Beverly, who started making the blend in 1988.
"They were looking for a sweet wine that was developed from grapes indigenous to the area, American grapes, and they came up with this wine that they liked," Rob Leonard, the winery's business development manager, said by phone Friday. "We use the term hallmark wine, It is our most awarded wine (25 major awards). It's probably our customer favorite; it's that and Rebel Red kind of battling back and forth as our favorite."
A back to the beginning party will follow and continue until 5, and will include everything from contests to costumes to music to the opening of a time capsule from 1988. "It's going to be a big celebration," Leonard said.
It also will be a precursor to an even bigger party that will start in a few weeks when crowds and reenactors gather to mark the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg. Adams County Winery, like a lot of businesses in town, has found a marketing tie-in to the national milestone. Six of its wines, including the two mentioned above, have been selected as the official 150th anniversary wines.
Adams County has been making wine for more than 35 years, Its new winemaker, Michael Vorauer, has settled in since he arrived from Texas. I think it's fair to call it a typical Pennsylvania winery, with a sweeter profile among its dozen and a half wines. In general, all are moderately priced, another way it has been able to grow its fan base.
"We've take great strides to know what our customers, what our guests want," Leonard said. "And in doing so we don't keep trying to change our business model . . . We have a very loyal following. Just look at our Facebook page. We have 9,000 likes, which is crazy. We have a niche. We're a country winery in an area that has wonderful mountainous soil. We're blessed by the product we can produce there, and we've been equally blessed by the people who have loyally come out here year after year to purchase our wines and consistently tell us that we're doing what they want us to do."
It is, as Leonard concluded, a matter of not trying to recreate the wheel because "the wheel is working."
For those who visit the winery and taste its wine, what do you like about it? What keeps you coming back? Finally, what is your favorite wine there.

Men (the ones I feel strongly about):
- Plushenko: Extremely versatile range of performances and the most compelling to watch. Can be dramatic and serious in one program, and fun and lighthearted in the next. (Favourite performance: Tribute to Nijinsky at the Russian Nationals will forever be an all-time great in my heart).
- Takahashi: No one has his attention to detail. Every single gesture, every position, is just perfect. (Favourite performance: Luv Letter at the Vancouver Olympics gala is the best example of his attention to detail).
- Yagudin: His performances are a bit like the skating equivalent of big diva ballads (the good ones). Bombastic, serious, dramatic as hell but always impressive. (Favourite performance: The Man in the Iron Mask at the Salt Lake City Olympics. I know everyone else likes Winter, but this is the performance that embodies what I personally like about Yagudin).
Ladies (In flux. I stopped following the discipline closely after Michelle retired, and am just catching up now):
Michelle Kwan: The eternal queen of ice. If I must describe her in one word, I would use "inspiring." (Favourite performance: Tosca at the US Nationals. I find it actually holds up better than her well-known earlier routines. Will need to refresh my memory for a lot of them though).
Mao Asada: I love how she combines attack and grace. (Favourite performance: LP at Sochi, when she knew she had no chance of a medal, she went and delivered that).
Yuna Kim: Pure elegance, with her feathery-light landings and expressive but subtle performances. (Favourite performance: no single one stands out. Kiss of the Vampire, Send in the Clowns, Concerto in F, and the James Bond Medley are all wonderful in their own ways).
I follow pairs/dance even less so this is more of a "liked what I saw" list.

- Pang & Tong
- Shen & Zhao

I really have never heard the opinion that T/D were overhyped.
Weren't they one of the first pairs to compete a quad twist?
I think they deserved their win over M/D, even with Sergei's mistakes. Anyway, the win will be debated but at least both teams put in good overall routines, which is better than many other competitions where it becomes "who was less awful."
Between them two I was going for M/D, but I have to say G/G's Rachmaninov was spectacular too. Actually, I was going for B/E, but I knew they had no chance against the Russians.
And who is talking about innovations? This thread is about faves, not innovating, isn't it?

Sky, innovation isn't the only thing that skaters bring to the feast. The thing that Gordeyeva/Grinkov did better than anyone else was the quality of each move. Their unison was extraordinary, and their lightness and speed across the ice was unrivaled. Though that doesn't obligate you to like them, you might be able to acknowledge their suitability as near-universal favorites among skating fans, just as I can acknowledge Plushenko's precision and creativity and his place on the list of all-time men's favorites.
CezarMart, perhaps you are referring to the few years in there where Katia almost seemed to be living publicly on the memory of Sergei, with the books about their life that she collaborated on and the Target perfume and so forth. I agree that this isn't something I would have felt comfortable doing, but I think that part of her actions at that time stemmed from the fact that she was still processing her loss, as were her fellow skaters. This was a way to keep alive the memory of not just Sergei as an individual but of Gordeyeva/Grinkov. Also I suspect that Katia was approached by people who found her marketable, and either she liked the idea or was persuaded to do it by her agent, or maybe even Scott Hamilton. But that phase didn't last all that long. I notice that almost from the moment she entered into a committed relationship with Ilia, she stopped having such a public private life, and she rarely showed up in non-skating media after that. Thereafter she became part of the general texture of the skating scene once more, I think. And even at the peak of Katia publicity, she was never as in-your-face as some other celebrities. It was all pretty tasteful, I thought.
Aww, thanks Olympia. It's good that even when we don't always share the same favourites, it's possible to appreciate different skaters what for they brought to be table and to understand what other people saw in them. This is why I included some brief descriptions about why I liked certain skaters (for singles, since I'm not entrenched deep enough in pairs/ice dance to be articulate there). I'm glad at least one person found my post a worthy read. I'm still prepared to get roasted for the "big ballad" comment (sue me, I like those).
I may be out of the line in saying this, but I think it's best not to take Sky too seriously. I agree with some of Sky's opinions but the way they're expressed, well... Anyway, G&G were awesome and I'll just leave it there.
G&G are my all time favorite pair team probably, and I do think they are the best ever, but I have to disagree had M&D won people would have complained about the result. Even those who defended G&G's win, or agree with it, would not have complained about the result with M&D winning as with their spectacular and perfect performance and G&G's mistakes it would be impossible to.
That is the way I measure in the closer controversies (not the blatant ones like Sotnikova vs Kim and Kostner in Sochi, or Chan vs Ten at the 2013 worlds, which are too obvious) and determining if the right person won. Do people complain about who won and would any if the other had. In the case of G&G vs M&D in 94 I dont think anyone would have complained the other way, and many did the way it was, so was probably the wrong outcome that night. Same with Chen vs Kwan at the 96 worlds. Yes close, but nobody would have complained if Chen won and some did that she didnt, so probably the wrong result. The same could be said of Chan vs Takahashi at the 2012 worlds. Nobody would have complained had Takahashi won, even those who defend Chan's win, while obviously that is the not the case with the actual result.

Want to know more? Here's a deeper look at what you can do with Quicken WillMaker Plus:
Your Will
The heart of every estate plan is a will, also known as a last will and testament. This legal document puts you in control of who inherits your property and who would assume guardianship of your children if it were ever necessary. Without a will, state law will determine these issues. Your will allows you to name an executor ("personal representative") whose job it is to see that your wishes are carried out. And you can appoint a trusted person to manage property left to young people. With Quicken WillMaker Plus, you can revise and update your will whenever you like.
Your Health Care Directive. Spares your loved ones difficult decisions by laying out your wishes for medical care and naming someone to carry those wishes:
Health Care Power of Attorney
Permit a loved one to make important medical decisions for you if necessary. Living Will
Specify whether you want your life prolonged through artificial means in certain circumstances and set out your wishes about specific medical treatments and procedures.
Your Final Arrangements
Plan a funeral or other ceremony and ease the burden on your loved ones. Describe your preferences for burial, cremation, memorials, obituaries, and more, and select someone to oversee your final arrangements.
Documents for Your Executor
Make sure your executor has all the forms and instructions necessary to do the job: checklists, letters, notices, claim forms and more.
Information for Caregivers and Survivors
Organize your estate so that your survivors don't have to. Use these documents to give them information about everything from bank accounts to the names of people you'd like contacted in the event of your illness or death.
Personal Finance Documents
Over a dozen forms let you handle common financial situations, such as lending or borrowing money between friends or family, creating a bill of sales, and ending a credit card account.
Home & Family Documents
Practical forms you can use every day to help run your home and keep your family safe, including authorizations and agreements, promissory notes, limited powers of attorney, and child and elder care forms.
*Estate planning documents not valid in Louisiana or U.S. Territories.

Real Common Sense: Using our Founding Values to Reclaim Our Nation and Stop the Radical Right From Hijacking America
Brian Kahn
Real Common Sense insists that America, plagued with consumerism and private interests, has strayed from its Founding principles and the vision for America of our forefathers. Brian Kahn exposes the deceptions of the extreme Right and reminds us of the real Tom Paine who would be baffled to have "inspired" this explosion of reactionary politics. Real Common Sense reminds us of the great principles and values on which our country was founded—freedom, equality, democracy—and how previous generations have fought for them in the very best moments of our nation's history. It calls on us, during these difficult times, to pick up the torch and do what needs to be done if we are to create an American worthy of our grandchildren.
"A well-intended, well-written effort to reclaim Thomas Paine from today's Tea Party … Paine would be proud." —Kirkus Reviews
"[A] reflection on what it means to be a citizen in today's imperfect America." —Publishers Weekly
"Grounded in the real common sense we inherited from the Founders and other patriots, this wonderful book is a road map toward establishing genuine democracy." —William Greider, author of Come Home, America and national affairs correspondent for The Nation
"Brian Kahn wisely shows us that the values of true conservatives of the Depression-era generation largely mesh with those of progressives—honest business dealings, rewarding work with decent pay, etc. Real Common Sense is our guide to how we can get to a better place in America." —Dale Maharidge, author of Someplace Like America: Tales from the New Great Depression
"Real Common Sense argues forcefully that the nation needs to reinvigorate an ethic that embraces both their right to pursue personal happiness and the responsibility to advance the public good." —Joel Berg, author of All You Can Eat: How Hungry is America? and executive director of the New York City Coalition Against Hunger

FARMING. THE WHEEL. THE TV REmote control. Of the three great inventions that changed the nature of human life on earth, we can name, with certainty, the creator of only one: Dr. Robert Adler, 82, of Glenview, Ill., who made couch potatohood possible.
It has been 40 years since Adler created the remote, driving a wedge between the sexes and allowing an overweight nation to channel-surf through life on its Homer Simpson-ish duff. Carping about the remote, he says, "is like saying that, rather than having a light switch at the door, you should have to climb a ladder and turn the switch on the lamp itself."
Adler, who has two TVs but only one working remote, a primitive 20-year-old model, doesn't have much use for his brainchild. He watches only about an hour of TV a week and does not have cable. "I just never developed a habit of turning on the set," he says.
Adler was associate director of research at the Zenith Electronics Corp. four decades ago when Eugene F. McDonald Jr., the company's crusty founder, ordered his engineers to create a device to tune out commercials. Adler came up with the idea of beaming high-frequency ultrasonic waves at a microphone in the TV. The Space Commander 400, quickly dubbed the clicker because of the distinctive noise it made, was born and began appearing in stores in the fall of 1956. The clicker didn't immediately click with the public, however, largely because it added a hefty $100 to the cost of a TV. In fact, it wasn't until 1985 that there were more TVs with remotes than without.
The patent for the Space Commander 400 belongs to Zenith, but Adler says he was well rewarded. Retired from full-time employment since 1982, he works as a consultant, and he's still modest about his invention. "Next to the guy who discovered fire," he says, "it's really not that big a deal."

Tricky guys
November 7, 2010 - Mike McLain
The Browns didn't stop their tricky ways when thy left New Orleans two weeks ago.
Leading 10-7 in the second quarter, the Browns relied on what can be called a "fumblerooski" on a touchdown run by Chansi Stucky. The way the play developed, Stuckey lined up behind right guard Billy Yates. Joshua Cribbs, who normally lines up in a shotgun position in the wildcat formation, went under center Alex Mack. Cribbs took the snap and underhanded a handoff to Stuckey, who ran around the right side on an 11-yard run.
The score gave the Browns a 17-7 lead. The Patriots drove deep into Browns' territory on their next possession. With time running out in the half, Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski had the ball stripped from his grasp on a throw inside the 5. Elam, who caused the fumble, fell on the losee ball to secure a 10-point halftime lead for the Browns.

Jason Patric insists he was not merely a sperm donor to his ex-girlfriend of 10 years, Danielle Schreiber, with whom he's currently locked in a bitter custody battle over their 4-year-old son, Gus.
"I was a willing co-parent and still am," Patric, 47, who hasn't been allowed to see the boy for one year and counting, insists in an interview with PEOPLE. "Danielle and I tried to conceive a child for three years. The only reason we did in vitro fertilization is because she could not conceive naturally. That does not make me a donor."
Schreiber, 41, a massage therapist, argues that that's exactly what Patric was. "When Jason offered me his sperm, it was under the condition that his donation never be made public and that he would not be a father to the child," she has stated. "I chose to use a known donor over a stranger, but only after I knew the law would protect my ability to make the best decisions for my son."
Patric says their relationship soured after he broke up with Schreiber in June 2012, when Gus was 2. Soon, he says, she began withholding access to the boy. After he filed a paternity case for custody a month later, a Los Angeles judge eventually ruled in Feb. 2013 he was a donor and therefore, by California law, not the natural father.
Having abandoned hope at amending the law, Patric is now hoping to win a pending appeal on the custody ruling. He's also since launched Stand Up for Gus, an L.A.-based effort to raise funds for awareness of parental alienation. (Actors Matt Damon, Kiefer Sutherland, Jon Hamm, Sarah Silverman and others attended a fundraiser for the organization last fall.)
Schreiber, however, has filed a restraining order request against Patric, to forbid him from speaking about their son in public or private without her permission. A hearing is set for April 17.
"I had a loving relationship with my son and it's gone now," says Patric. "Danielle is completely erasing me from my child's life. I'm leaving a public trail so he'll know I did everything I could to be with him, that he wasn't abandoned."

How do I cancel Zune after the free trial is over?
I can't seem to do it from My Account, or anywhere.
Hello Tassassin: Please check this link to cancel your Zune Subscription: www.zune.net/.../updateorcancelzunepass.htm. If you have anymore questions you can contact @ZuneSupport on Twitter. Thanks.
You're supposed to be able to navigate the Zune webpage. You need to do it BEFORE the trial is over.
The fastest method would likely be calling up support and asking them to turn off the renewal.
Whats the answer
This is an Xbox forum. However, I'm checking to see what you need to do to cancel. I should have an answer today. I think that Raett is correct however, if you can find a Customer Service support phone number, that might be your quickest solution. Thanks.

At first glance, this may look like another case of media infighting in which journalists jostle for prominence, not to mention headlines and clicks. But a closer look at Greenwald's text suggests higher stakes are in play.
The New York Times columnist burnished his reputation as an irrelevant pundit Wednesday when he judged as "un-serious" 170 economic and financial policy experts who support the Wall Street reforms of Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, writes Glenn Greenwald at The Intercept.
Well, it's started. You knew it would. The Democratic establishment is going into attack mode as their anointed one—Hillary Clinton—is in danger of losing.
New York Times columnist Paul Krugman last week warned Bernie's supporters that change doesn't happen with "transformative rhetoric" but with "political pragmatism"—"accepting half loaves as being better than none." Krugman just doesn't get it.
As the high-powered shenanigans of Las Vegas casino mogul and GOP bankroller Sheldon Adelson show, "Oligarchy, rule by the few, also tends to become rule by the monstrously self-centered," Paul Krugman writes in The New York Times.
Nobel Prize-winning economists Joseph Stiglitz and Paul Krugman maintain that Greece must keep going it alone and vote "no" on the upcoming referendum on the bailout.
"Austerity"—the redirection of funds away from government and public services and toward a country's creditors—"has devastated Greece just about as much as defeat in total war devastated imperial Germany," economist Paul Krugman writes in The New York Times.
Historic Obama critic Paul Krugman made an about-face in his opinion of the president's performance in a much-discussed Rolling Stone essay on Oct. 8 that Salon columnist Thomas Frank, who believes Krugman's "relentless, one-man war on austerity… should have earned him a second Nobel Prize," finds incredible.
Economist and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman says he's been reading "two new reports on the economics of fighting climate change" that prove saving the planet could be "cheaper and easier than almost anyone imagines."
"The reality of rising American inequality is stark. Since the late 1970s real wages for the bottom half of the work force have stagnated or fallen, while the incomes of the top 1 percent have nearly quadrupled (and the incomes of the top 0.1 percent have risen even more)," the Nobel Prize-winning economist wrote Sunday in The New York Times.

There's some sobering news Friday about the still sputtering economy, and the repercussions of errant federal policies on the nation's future. It doesn't bode well, and everyone from single impoverished mothers to Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman are worried. So why does nothing get fixed?

As the nation faces a continued and massive gap between the haves and the have-nots, we listen to some different voices and observations about where organized labor is, and where it might be headed.
The latest criticism of the Republican Party launched by New York Times columnist Paul Krugman centers around the "monstrous" farm bill that passed through the GOP-controlled House last week.
The Rachel Maddow Show (CC-BY)
New York Times columnist Paul Krugman eviscerated the GOP on Monday for acting on the falsehood that life is "too easy" for millions of out-of-work Americans who can't find jobs by punishing them in the party's effort to "cure unemployment by making the jobless even more miserable."
Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff, the Harvard economists whose influential pro-austerity study was recently exposed as being seriously flawed, have penned a scathing open letter to the New York Times columnist, who has been a major critic of their work and one of the leading voices in the anti-austerity movement.
In his latest column for The New York Times, the Nobel Prize-winning economists notes that before President Obama took office in 2009, seven of the 10 previous presidents left the Oval Office with debt ratios lower than when they entered it. The three who did not: Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush.

As lawmakers on both sides of the aisle spend copious amounts of time on their seemingly futile quest to reach an agreement about how to deal with the nation's burgeoning debt, there's an even bigger economic problem in the U.S.: unemployment.
Economists from the University of Massachusetts appear to have debunked a Harvard paper that right-wing politicians have used to push economic austerity policies. The challengers explain where the Harvard economists went wrong in an interview with The Real News Network.

Journalist Mike Whitney praised the Truthdig editor in chief for being "the only voice on the left" to defend former Reagan budget director David Stockman against an "army of toffeenose pundits" who failed to honor the essential truth of Stockman's controversial New York Times op-ed.

"For many in my generation, the ideological underpinnings of capitalism have been undermined," writes Jacobin editor Bhaskar Sunkara at The Guardian.

The trillion dollar coin represents one of the most important principles of popular prosperity ever conceived: the creation of money by sovereign governments, debt-free.

No, says the Nobel Prize-winning economist, who must be hoarse from repeating the same thing for the last four years: The United States is facing a jobs crisis, one that costs the savings, homes and dreams of millions of Americans and about $900 billion a year in lost productivity.

Mitt Romney's remark reveals a truth about himself but also about the entire Republican Party: The GOP is just not worker friendly. Instead, the party lauds "job creators," whom New York Times columnist Paul Krugman describes as the "employers" and "investors."

According to Paul Krugman, GOP vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan is a lot like Rosie Ruiz, the first woman to cross the finish line in the 1980 Boston Marathon. Ruiz was subsequently stripped of that victory when it turned out she hadn't actually run most of the race.

The Flyers are just doin' what the Flyers do. They have submitted an offer sheet for Shea Weber's services: 14 years, $100 million-ish. Nashville will have 7 days to match it. If they don't, the Preds get a bunch of draft picks, depending on the cap hit or something. Not entirely sure.
As Pens fans, should we hate this news? Absolutely. We didn't want Shea Weber in the Eastern Conference, let alone in Philadelphia. This past season's playoff series against the Flyers will always have us suspending any kind of analysis anymore. It's really shaken us to our core. It made no sense. So we're not going to try and figure out what Weber's presence on the Flyers will do to the Penguins. But it's not good.
EDIT: Broad Street Hockey on the cap hit/compensation issue:
Depending on the exact figures, the cap hit might be under $6,728,781 (which typically means a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd round pick) or between $6,728,781 and $8,410,976 (which typically means two 1sts, a 2nd, and a 3rd). However, this is misleading; the compensation for long deals is not based on cap hit, but on one-fifth of the total value of the contract. For a package of over $100 million, that means it would be treated as a $20 million/year offer, which is obviously in the top group and would cost the Flyers their first round pick in each of the next four years. Hopefully everyone involved realized this.

ELKINS - Davis & Elkins College Director of Athletics Ronnie Palmer has announced the hiring of Gene Smith as the school's new women's soccer coach.

Smith replaces Raul Ovalle, who guided the Senators to a G-MAC championship this past fall.
"I'm really excited to get started," Smith said. "The program has had great success in the past and I look forward to not only continuing, but growing that success.
"The current team has tremendous potential, but we need to get better each day."
Smith comes to Elkins after a four-year stint at Pennsylvania State Athletics Conference power California, Pa. Smith spent two seasons as an assistant at Cal before being named the school's head coach in 2012.
The Vulcans reached the NCAA Tournament in each of Smith's four seasons, claimed the PSAC regular season championship on three occasions and won the league tournament twice. The 2011 squad set a school record with 20 wins and advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals.
Prior to coaching at Cal, Smith spent five seasons at Plymouth State University, a NCAA Division III institution in New Hampshire.
A native of Connecticut, Smith finished his playing career as a two-year starter at NCAA Division III Norwich University (Vt.) after originally playing at Xavier University. He has also competed and coached for several premier teams in his home state. Smith enjoyed success in semi-professional and professional settings with various teams in the United Soccer League (USL) and abroad.
In addition to his collegiate experience, he served as the Director of Coaching for the New Hampshire Classics and was the head coach of the under-17 Olympic Development Program team. Under Smith's direction, the team advanced to the regional finals in back-to-back seasons - a first for New Hampshire Soccer. He also served with the US Youth Soccer ODP in Connecticut and Vermont.
"We are extremely excited to have someone with Gene's experience, background and success rate to lead our women's soccer program."
Smith earned his undergraduate degree from Norwich in 1998 before completing a master's degree from Northeastern University (Mass.) in 2009.

At 11:51 AM 11/2/2006, Dimitre wrote: From a user's perspective, how is it helpful to make a distinction between processing order and result order? It is always helpful to know the truth in advance than to discover it by accident. If we, as users, can't use the word "process" (because it's reserved for implementation details) then what word do we use? The word "process" can surely be used -- Where did I hint it couldn't? We can say that" the nodes selected by the expression as specified the select attribute are *processed" not in any predefined order -- in indeterministic way" ... or "asynchronously", if the latter is more understandable. Both of these definitions of processing mean that there is no specified order. I happen to agree with both sides in this debate. Dimitre is correct both about the processing model and about the helpfulness of knowing the truth in advance, and David is correct (as is Mike) to stress how this detail of the processing model has sound theoretical foundations with practical consequences; yet Evan is also correct that experience shows that this particular point is often too abstruse to be worth stressing to beginners. On occasion I have sometimes tried to explain this whole business to XSLT newcomers only to see their eyes glaze over, as they concluded that their instructor knew far too much than was good for any mortal soul, and had lost his grip on practical realities. I was trying to innoculate them from unpleasant and inexplicable surprises in the future, and to show them a bit more of the big wonderful picture, only to have it backfire on me. ("If the processor's execution order doesn't matter to us, then why is he telling us this?") At the worst, I'm afraid I left them with the impression that XSLT is only for coneheads, which is the opposite of the message I wanted to convey. Yet I also feel that XSL-List is a good place for beginners to see both the wonderful abstruseness and the practical usefulness of the language. Evan has a good point about what's really useful to know when; yet readers of this list also need to be willing to indulge us. I'd like to think that all of us are rewarded by letting the experts have a little fun.

ALLENSVILLE - While a majority of the housing and building industry took a severe downturn after the recession hit in 2008, Allensville Planing Mill has remained a staple of Mifflin County, continuing to provide manufacturing and retail services.
"We were able to survive the recession by increasing our focus on niche project markets," said Donita Rudy, CEO of APM. "While we began to target the do-it-yourself group in our retail stores, we were able to maintain manufacturing numbers by increasing work in the agriculture industry."
Before the recession, 20 percent of APM's manufacturing projects were commissioned by people or companies in the agriculture industry, Rudy said. As the building industry began to suffer, APM diversified to appeal more to agricultural projects.

The new Mifflin County Savings Bank branch in Allensville is set to open in November, before the grand opening event in December in conjunction with the APM True Value store. The bank is located inside the True Value store.
"Our work for the agriculture community was received well because we provide a whole package service," Rudy said. "Each order was, and is, a complete full service project. We handle everything from design, to delivery and setup."
APM specializes in super hutches, barns, chicken coops, calf and cattle shelters, free stalls and run in shelters. Though the majority of work comes from the Pennsylvania area, Rudy said, projects are also ordered from Maryland, New Jersey and Virginia.
"We made it through those tough times and have begun to bounce back," Rudy said. "We've had a 35 percent growth in truss manufacturing this year and a several thousand percent growth in panels. Depending on the season, we have anywhere from 100 to 140 people working the mill."
APM also plans to continue with the do-it-yourself appeal in the True Value retail stores as it moves forward, Rudy said. DIY workshops, developed during the recession, have become permanent events in stores as have the online videos for DIY projects on the company's website and Facebook.
"We have developed a great female following with the workshops," Rudy said. "Women are more comfortable learning skills in a peer-to-peer environment. We like to have ladies' nights during hunting season and home improvement workshops in the summer."
APM also tries to hire retail associates with experience in construction or home improvement so customers have someone knowledgeable to discuss projects with, Rudy said.
The most recent development in customer service, however, is the addition of a Mifflin County Savings Bank branch to the Allensville True Value location. The bank plans to hold a soft opening in November and a joint grand opening event with True Value in December.
"The idea of opening a bank branch was presented to us about a year and a half ago when the one across the street closed," Rudy said. "There's a large community need for local banking services, especially for the Amish community. People are traveling as far as Reedsville or Huntingdon right now."
The new Mifflin County Savings Bank branch features an outdoor ATM with full teller service inside. Though customers will have to walk through the True Value store to access the bank, the two entities have no relation.
"Though the bank is located in our store, it's strictly a tenant," Rudy said. "The model is similar to grocery stores or supermarkets that have banks for customer convenience. It's just another way to serve our community."
For more information about the Allensville Planing Mill, visit www.apm-inc.net or the Allensville True Value Facebook page. The True Value retail stores are located in Allensville, Lewistown and Huntingdon.
