LOCKPORT - "I'm going to take a chance on you," Niagara County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas said today at the sentencing of a man who burglarized two homes Feb. 19.
Farkas placed Leslie T. Luxon, 40, of Rochester on five years' probation even though a Probation Department presentencing report recommended otherwise, as did the homeowners on Cambria-Wilson Road in Wilson and Lower Mountain Road in Cambria. Farkas ordered restitution of $1,775, at the rate of $100 a month.
"Both victims are screaming for incarceration," Farkas acknowledged. But she seemed impressed by Luxon's commitment to outpatient drug treatment. He said he stayed clean even after his wife left him this summer.
Luxon could have been sent to prison for up to four years on his plea to a reduced charge of attempted third-degree burglary. Co-defendant Donald M. Walls, 32, a former Rochester resident now living in Lockport, was assigned to a drug treatment program after his guilty plea.

A cliche drink among hiphop practitioners that is supposed to indicate that they are doing well financially. Cristal is the full name, it is a wine, however, contrary to a previous definer, Champagne does not have pinot noir and chardoney in it, it is a wine specifically made of grapes from the Champagne region in France.

'Understaffing' at Nintendo led to Pikmin 3 delay & lack of first-party Wii U titles
Nintendo had planned to release 'a few' first-party Wii U titles in first half of 2013, Iwata reveals.
Wii U struggles continue in the US as February sales disappoint
Thought to be in the region of only 64,000 units.
3.06 million Wii U consoles sold as of December 31, 2012
Expects sales to reach four million units by the end of March 2013.
UK Video Game Chart: Black Ops 2 makes it five weeks at the top
Hitman: Absolution climbs back up to No.2.
UK Video Game Chart: Black Ops 2 holds top spot for fourth week
Far Cry 3 holds on at No.2 with an impressive second week drop of only 8%.
Wii U software attach rate just 1.2 at US launch

What was your source for this crocheting project?
Online Photo or Website
Name of website or photo Nursing Pillow
What materials did you use? Bernat Satin for almost all the project, including the flowers; Lion Brand Pound of Love in an off-white color for the small flowers and the center of a few of them.
What are you most proud of? I used my brand-new sewing machine and sewed the inside fabric pillow! I had a bit of a challenge choosing colors for the flowers since my friend wanted different colors for the pillow. I think the colors came together nicely.
What advice would you give someone starting this project? Be ready to sew! Be careful not to stretch the crocheted gusset too much when getting ready to cut the fabric lining or it will be too big for the pillow sides. Measure the half-moon side of the side with the flowers and make sure that that measurement matches one long side of the gusset. Experiment with colors! That's the funnest part.
This is really nice.
Thank you :)
Is it for sale? :) It would make a really beautiful and unique meditation cushion.
Hi! This was given as a baby shower gift :-)

ANY NEWCOMER WHO CAN DEFEAT JIM COURIER AND Andre Agassi bears watching. But when Jan-Michael Gambill upset both superstars at a 19.8 tournament in California, modeling agents tossed their business cards onto the court. The 6'4" blond, blue-eyed Gambiil now has his own $35 calendar and has shot an Adidas commercial. He also has moved into the upper reaches of the Association of Tennis Professionals Tour rankings, last year hitting No. 31. For those who aren't wise to him yet, Gambill, 22, has a trick up his sleeve that pulls in new fans. "When it gets hot, I practice shirtless," he says. His friends don't buy that explanation. "The shirt is never on unless it has to be," says Courier, 29. "He's running around in his shorts and sweating. Women tend to like that." Gambiil keeps them happy by enduring a punishing daily regimen that includes 90 minutes of weight training and up to 1,000 stomach crunches. "My abs are one of the features I work hardest on," he says, although "a couple of ladies at one of the tournaments gave me the 'best butt' award, which was pretty funny." Gambill's mother, Diane, 47, who named him after 1970s heartthrob actor Jan-Michael Vincent, has seen her son's groupies in action. "He's very noticed—every, part of him," she says. Gambill, who started playing tennis at age 5, still lives on his family's 10-acre ranch outside Spokane, Wash., where his dad, Chuck, 53, serves as his coach. In his spare time he bottle-feeds wildcat cubs at a nearby zoological center. "I've always been fascinated by big tigers and lions," says Gambill. "Their beauty is just amazing." He's equally proud of his own. "I think it's healthy to look in the mirror," he says.

Affiliate Marketing: Using Product Data Feeds
A common error that merchants make when launching an affiliate program is not providing enough marketing support for their affiliates. Merchants sometimes assume that all they need to do is provide a few banner ads to their affiliates, who would place them on their sites.
But many savvy affiliate marketers are moving beyond banner ads. They have evolved their marketing efforts to drive conversions. This often includes contextual advertising, where affiliates work your products into the actual content of their sites.
Beyond Banner Ads
For example, some sites might embed affiliate links within product reviews. Or they might monetize user-generated content in an online forum with affiliate links. Other affiliates build product-focused sites that position your inventory in a slightly different way to attract a different consumer. An affiliate may build a site targeting fishing gear and equipment, and only promote the fishing-gear portion of your inventory. Both of these approaches — contextual links and product-focused sites — are effective at driving incremental value because they get your brand in front of consumers when they're researching a purchase, or browsing for something specific.
Enter Product Data Feeds
To help affiliates with contextual links and product-focused sites, provide them with a product data feed. A data feed can be visualized as a spreadsheet of all your products, where each row represents a single product, and each column represents one characteristic of that product. Characteristics can include product name, landing page, price, image and source URL. If you use shopping comparison sites, you likely have a data feed that you could adapt to affiliate network needs.
Each affiliate network will have different data feed requirements in terms of which fields to include and what format to provide it in. Once you've formatted the data feed to meet the network specifications, you upload it into your affiliate account. The network will convert all your landing page URLs into affiliate tracking links, so that when affiliates access the data feed, they will pull down tracking links associated with each product.
Data feeds are also used to power merchandising tools used by affiliates. These tools enable affiliates to quickly build sites using those feeds. For example, Yoga-Blocks.co is an affiliate site using a WordPress template in combination with Datafeedr, which allows affiliates to build and embed storefronts from multiple product data feeds. Other, similar merchandising tools include GoldenCan, PopShops, and WebMerge.
Creating Data Feeds
Eric Busch is co-founder of Datafeedr. He offers the following suggestions for creating data feeds.
Check URL links. This includes the affiliate links as well as the image and thumbnail URLs. Too often affiliate links go to the merchant's home page, to 404 pages, or to the wrong product pages. This decreases conversions for the affiliate.
Provide two product images. If the affiliate network has fields for both large images and small thumbnails, use both of them for product images. When only one image is supplied, it's often either too small for a shopper to see the product's details, or it's too large and takes too long to load.
Keep prices up to date. This includes adding and updating sale prices when applicable. It's much harder for an affiliate to promote products when they do not have accurate pricing information.
Provide good product descriptions. Affiliate marketers don't want to write the product descriptions. They want to use the merchants' descriptions. Be sure to supply nicely formatted descriptions of each product in your data feed.
Keep out-of-stock products out of the data feed. Only include products in the data feed that are actually in stock. It's a waste of everyone's time when a shopper clicks to buy an out-of-stock product.
Keep duplicate products out of the data feed. Merchants typically provide a record for every size or color of a product that they have in stock. A shoe merchant will likely provide a product record for every size of a specific shoe. So instead of having just one record in the data feed for a pair of "Crocs," there will be, say, ten records, one for each size. This drastically increases the size of the data feed, making it difficult to manipulate. It also forces the affiliate to manually parse the feed to remove the duplicate products.
Use unique product IDs. Many affiliate marketers rely on unique product IDs to track a product from one data feed update to another — to perform database updates, add additional information, or filter specific products to their websites. If unique IDs are not provided, it's nearly impossible to add value to, or extract value from, those products.
Provide Complete Data
Provide affiliates with as much data as possible. "Fill in as many fields of the data feed as possible," Busch recommends. "It might take a little extra work, but the more comprehensively you've filled out the data feed, the more appealing your data feed will be to affiliate marketers."
If you aren't certain about what data to include or about proper formatting, ask your affiliate network support staff. Most networks are eager to assist in providing a data feed because those programs are likely to have better conversion rates and drive more revenue.
Last, but not least, update your data feed regularly. "Often we find data feeds that haven't been updated in months, even years. There's a good chance that data in those feeds is inaccurate," Busch says. "It's a risk for affiliate marketers to promote products in those feeds, as there's a good chance the data is incorrect or, worse yet, the affiliate links don't work."

Nice article, Carolyn. Data feeds are a great way to monetize your content with relevant advertisements and with current tools using them can be mostly automated. I run a company called SellFire that is a competitor to Datafeedr and Popshops. Eric mentioned duplicate products. One advantage of SellFire is that it automatically removes duplicate and very similar products, making your search results easier to use.
Excellent, thank you for sharing! I'll definitely look into it. Feel free to reach out to me at email@example.com.
I started a few pages with SellFire but some items now show blank? Is there something I have to do for them to come off the? They lead to 404 errors. Thanks!
Carolyn, other problem area for merchants is to develop data feed regularly in different format that each search engine or affiliate network demands. As you correctly said, the merchant for effective campaign will have to submit data feed regularly. However, many merchants are not tech savvy and fails to submit good data feed resulting an ineffective marketing.Here both the merchant and affiliate suffers.
We http://www.krawlnet.com works for publishers wherein we precisely understand their search engine specification and develops crawler for their partners. The data feed we generate contains Product ID, Title, Brand, Price, Sale price (if any), Description, color, size information. We further are engaging with affiliates to enhance their customer satisfaction.
Absolutely – I work for FusePump (www.fusepump.com) and we know how important data feeds are.
It's essential to update your data feed regularly to avoid out of stock products showing up as available. This can frustrate consumers because they cannot buy the items they want, leading to lost conversions.
Hi, Very nice article and very informative. I have a couple of questions reg Product duplications and not enough merchants. 1. What if we chose to go with one data feed, say datafeedr and the Merchent I am looking for is not i their netwrok/list and If I find that merchant in another feed say popshop or Goldencan, then can I get both feeds and combine them? And if so would they have the same Product ID for the same product available from the same store ( say Nike Womens runing shoes with SKU 999999) how do I remove these duplicates? Also I may be updating the Feed on my site as often as required to keep it fresh, but how often is the source of the feed at, say datafeedr updated?. Is it as uptodate as the Merchant site for all merchants? Hope my question is not confusing..

Along with Mike Farris, the Duhks were the highlights of last year's Americana Music Festival & Conference. Karen Zarker described the Canadian band as "a plate full of all the good stuff, all mixed up. You'll get rock (with a violin that sounds like an electric guitar), cabaret (with that tinge of the dark, somewhat perverse, rather intellectual approach which makes for the best of cabaret), foot-stomping Celtic, and a spicy bit of Afropop (wherein the fiddle becomes a thumb piano). Sarah Dugas' versatile pipes can belt out gospel with the best of 'em, followed by some good ol' Louisiana Cajun. Sarah and Tania Elizabeth will sing to you in French and sing to you in English, but the band's instruments sing in more tongues than any mere multilingual human can." The band's latest video "Fast Paced World" from the album of the same name was directed by Dream Rockwell, who works as artistic director of the vaudeville circus group Lucent Dossier. That circus vibe is evident throughout as band romp in fanciful costumes and evoke a rather surrealist tone. This video was created for the Elevate Film Festival in Los Angeles.

PHILLY, LET'S TALK. There are a lot of conversations we should be having as a city, but aren't.
Let's begin with a conversation about what happens when a guy gets out of jail. And let's start with a compelling movie about trying to make it in a world that doesn't welcome ex-cons.
The film, "Pull of Gravity," follows several Philadelphia ex-cons. It was shot over a year in North Philly and features three men in different stages of re-entry:
There's Andy, 44, in and out of prison for 25 years, and home for six after serving 10 years behind bars.

ShortTakes: A briefing of people, issues and events around the country
Wisconsin man, 76, guilty in fatal shooting of teen
MILWAUKEE -- A Milwaukee man was convicted Wednesday of fatally shooting his 13-year-old neighbor whom he suspected had broken into his home and stolen weapons. The trial now shifts into a second phase in which the defense will try to prove the 76-year-old defendant was mentally ill at the time of the shooting.
A jury deliberated for about an hour before finding John Henry Spooner guilty of first-degree intentional homicide. Surveillance video from Spooner's own security cameras showed him confronting Darius Simmons in May 2012, pointing a gun at him from about 6 feet away and shooting him in the chest.
Spooner had entered two pleas to the homicide charge: not guilty and not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect.
Air Force drone crash closes remote Florida highway
TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. -- An Air Force drone being tested at a nearby base crashed on takeoff Wednesday near a remote stretch of a Florida Panhandle highway. Officials said no one was injured but the road was closed through Wednesday night.
The Air Force closed Highway 98 west of Panama City and east of Mexico Beach because of possible fires from the crash. Officials said the drone has a limited, 24-hour battery life and would be inactive after the battery depleted.
According to an Air Force fact sheet, the QF-4 is tested at nearby Tyndall Air Force Base and at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico.
Big-nosed, horned-faced dinosaur unearthed in Utah
SALT LAKE CITY -- Researchers in Utah said Wednesday they discovered a new type of big-nosed, horned-faced dinosaur that lived about 76 million years ago in the area of what is now the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.
The discovery of the creature, named "Nasutoceratops titusi," was described in the British scientific journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B and by officials at the Natural History Museum of Utah in Salt Lake City.
The dinosaur was a wide-bodied plant-eater that grew to 15 feet long and weighed two and a half tons, said Patti Carpenter, spokeswoman for the museum.
The bones were discovered in 2006 by a University of Utah master's student, Eric Lund. Specimens are permanently housed and displayed at the museum at the University of Utah.

I was on Fentynal patches (75mcggfor long acting relief and morphine (15mgx4) for breakthrough pain for over a year and I was lethargic, reclusive and in pain! My pain management team suggested that I may have become tolerant to the Fentynal and morphine. They suggested a change to to Opana ER 20mg 2x a day with Percocet 7.5mg for breakthroughs. Skeptical as I was, I agreed. What a change! Although we have changed the dosage to 10mg 3x/day (stomach/intestinal surgery causes things to go through my system quickly) I am in less pain now there than I was 8 months ago. I see my team again in 10 days. I'm requesting that they increase the dosage to 15mg 3x/day because the last 6 weeks on 30mg/day total hasn't been a picnic! All in all I'm pleased with the new regimen. I've stopped taking Xanax and an antidepressant altogether.
As with any pain medication, this too caused me to have severe depression and become a person that had once been very outgoing and energetic (even when in pain, as much as possible, of course), into a hermit and I NEVER wanted to leave the house! As a result, my dr. gave me Wellbutrin to try to help counteract the terrible side effects, but after seven days on the Wellbutrin my PAIN was nearly GONE! I have neuropathic pain from a bone spur in my low back. I also had a torn hip repaired. Now I am on day four w/o RX pain meds! I feel that I am SLOWLY regaining my life back and have hope that I will no longer be doomed to a life of pain and/or hopelessness! This medication also caused weight gain, lack of motivation. You do not notice that it causes this until it is too late and you are well into a severely depressed state! I took 20mg ER 2X day and the 10 IR up to four times a day for break through pain. Now I only take the Wellbutrin, Tylenol, and Aleve!!!
This is the only pain medicine that has made my severe neuropathy tolerable. A life saver for me.
I am a 37 year old mother of 3 kids. I live in chronic pain 24/7 and have been on some strong long acting medicine for years, 150mg of morphine just was not doing it for me anymore, i would feel no pain relief at all and this went on for months until i talked to the right pharmacist one day and he said some people who the morphine didn't work for anymore opana would. I did some reading on the opana and thought this might work, then i talked to my doctor about trying it. Two 20mg a day is what i take and it is by far the best long acting full 24 meds i have every been on. I 'v been taking it now 8 months and still going strong, i can do things with my 3 boys and husband i couldn't before and that right there my friends means the world to me. I in high regards recommend it.
Opana is a great help for people with chronic moderate to severe pain, it lasts almost the full 12 hours its suppose to work (unlike Oxycontin where your lucky to get 8 hours out of it) Great med, i recommend it to anyone that is still looking for a 'better' pain killer, this could very well be a good option for you.
i was on 30 s and it did not help with my pain this stuff is over rated i had very bad side effects this stuff is been widely talked about to drive up thear stocks .it did not help me.its over rated.
very helpul!!!
It has been ok... It works fairly well, considering I have been on other long-acting opiates. The jury is still out if this is the best one..

Ever wonder where the phrase "familiarity breeds contempt" comes from? Well… Once upon a time, there was The Fox and the Lion…
A very young Fox, who had never before seen a Lion, happened to meet one in the forest. A single look was enough to send the Fox off at top speed for the nearest hiding place.
The second time the Fox saw the Lion he stopped behind a tree to look at him a moment before slinking away. But the third time, the Fox went boldly up to the Lion and, without turning a hair, said, "Hello, there, old top."
The moral of the story:Â Familiarity breeds contempt, or, acquaintance with evil blinds us to its dangers.

Read Amazon.com review with S. Greene, I believe, whom highlights a problem with power failure and sub-zero temperatures.
In short if power failure occurs NEST may drain internal battery thus allowing home to freeze thus water pipes may burst thus house floods.
OK if you're in town but not so good if you're out of town or the country.
Something to consider.
If NEST can guarantee or re-engineer the module to have an extended battery life / safety feature for freezing conditions I'm all in. I do like the idea of this unit but have been reserved about the potential flooding that may occur whilst away.

Oracle Night by Paul Auster
Faber and Faber, 15.99
On 28 August, 1938, the Romanian painter, Victor Brauner, lost his left eye when he was struck by a glass thrown by fellow surrealist Oscar Dominguez. Such violence was not uncommon at parties attended by the surrealist group, but what distinguished this episode was the fact that it seemed to fulfil a prophecy, begun seven years before when Brauner painted the first of a series of canvases (Self-Portrait with a Plucked Eye), in which he was depicted as having suffered various injuries, all affecting the left eye.
In one, Brauner's eye has disappeared; in another, it seems to have melted and is running down his cheek; in yet another, the eyeball has shattered in its socket. The surrealists made much of the incident, claiming it proved the magical, premonitory power of art and, though Brauner himself played it down, he is best-known, even now, as the painter who foresaw his own partial blinding.
It is a story that might have been invented by Paul Auster. Throughout his career Auster has engaged with the complex and bewildering play between chance, reason, fear and desire that underlies the human predicament. It is never a simple matter yet, in novel after novel, this play is exposed in a series of accidents, coincidences, apparently irrational decisions and shock moments of premonition - or wish-fulfilment - that cast new light on our ideas of chance, free will and destiny. What Auster does is challenge our most basic assumptions about what human beings need from life, what we really feel is right and just, and how even the most fleeting and apparently negligible perceptions can decide our fate.
Right action is central to this challenge: more often than not, a character who has been going along, doing what is expected of him - doing what he expects from himself - suddenly changes direction and enters a personal limbo, abandoning everything that is familiar, everything that has seemed logical, everything that he has chosen, or that has been foisted upon him, until that moment. In Leviathan, a superb meditation on politics and individual responsibility published in 1992 (when the Unabomber was still at large - and just in time for the anniversary of Columbus's "discovery" of America), a writer named Sax suddenly abandons literature and travels the length and breadth of America, blowing up models of the Statue of Liberty, in what seems, at first, a futile protest against state corruption.
In an earlier work, The Music of Chance, Auster gave us Nashe, an ex-fireman who drops out of his ordinary life and begins driving aimlessly around the country until he and a feckless con-man named Pozzi fall into the clutches of a pair of (seemingly) demented recluses living on a huge estate in rural Pennsylvania. There, they are forced into a long period of hard labour, building a huge, useless wall, until they have paid off a gambling debt. Even earlier, Moon Palace is the tale of a young man named Marco Fogg who gradually sells his possessions (a vast collection of books he has inherited from a favourite uncle), drops out of college and begins living rough in Central Park. It is the first step in a process that will reveal to him his true history and send him out on a strange journey into the American West, where he may or may not find his redemption.
In these novels Auster's characters are faced with an existential choice: follow the dictates of convention, or allow the irrational, unpredictable, dangerous inner self to guide them on their path through life - a choice, as it were, between the inner and the outer self, between constructed person and imagining soul. What they are looking for, in Thomas Merton's words, is a thunderclap, "just startling enough to create a sudden awareness, a self-realisation in which the false, exterior self is caught in all its naked nothingness and immediately dispelled as an illusion. Not only does it vanish, but it is seen never to have been there at all - a pure fiction, a mere shadow of passionate attachment and of self-deception."
What makes Auster's earlier work so powerful for the reader is the recognition that this exterior self, this illusion, is the person with whom each of us lives, day to day, a figure concocted by convention, socialisation and the imaginings of other such persons. When one of his characters breaks through this false self, it is a liberation - even if that character is left wandering in the desert, mourning a dead lover or friend, or dead. In this sense, Auster's work operates on the same basis as tragedy does: as catharsis.
Auster's brilliant and harrowing new work, Oracle Night, takes up this problem of the real and the conventional self, but extends it - on a philosophical level - somewhat further. The novel begins with Sidney Orr, a writer in mid-career who has recently suffered an unspecified life-threatening illness. Sidney is married to a beautiful woman named Grace, a woman he feels, at times, that he does not deserve (but then, none of us is deserving of grace, we must simply accept it when it comes).
As the novel opens, Sidney is emerging from his illness and, inspired by the chance discovery of a magical blue notebook in a local stationery shop, has begun to write again. At first he is happy with this turn of events - after his long illness he needs money and hopes the work he is doing will bring it in - but soon the book begins to exert a strange power over him. His imagined world begins spilling over into everyday reality in subtle and surprising ways, his behaviour alters, he has frightening premonitions and - to his horror - it seems that what he writes is translating into actual events.
"Thoughts are real," his friend and fellow-writer John Trause tells him: "Words are real. Everything human is real and sometimes we know things before they happen, even if we aren't aware of it. We live in the present but the future is inside us at every moment. Maybe that's what writing is all about, Sid. Not recording events from the past but making things happen in the future."
It is a terrifying problem for an artist, not only because, like Brauner, he may cause something untoward to happen to himself, but because he may cause suffering to others. Oracle Night has its own version of the Brauner story, an anecdote that Trause tells Orr about a French writer who "published a book-length narrative poem that revolved around the drowning of a young child. Two months after the book was released, the writer and his family went on a vacation to the Normandy coast and on the last day of their trip his five-year-old daughter waded out into the choppy waters of the English Channel and drowned."
Premonition, cruel coincidence - or magical influence? There is no way of knowing, as there is no way of knowing the consequences of any of our imaginings. Children will superstitiously work through the imagined death of a parent as a way of warding off that evil - but is there also an element of wish-fulfilment there? What does a man, married to the woman of his dreams, really feel when he imagines her leaving him, or having an affair with his best friend? What is the purpose of fantasy? What are the uses of the imagination?
The problem of Romantic literature - which extends right through Surrealism to the Beat Generation - was the belief, most succinctly expressed by Man Ray, that "everything is permitted to the imagination". Oddly enough, this belief is only made possible by Enlightenment rationalism, a non-magical system that subsists on the notion that imagination is a purely mental phenomenon, that fantasy only happens inside the head. The worst error that a human being can make is to believe that he or she possesses an individual destiny, a fixed self and purpose that can exist in the world as a singular and independent thing. In Oracle Night, Auster exposes this error and allows us to see, as Jean Baudrillard has remarked, that there is no such thing as individual destiny, that each of us is the destiny of the other. By this reckoning, each of us is also the responsibility of the other; or rather, we are all equally responsible for the destiny of all and that responsibility extends, not only to what we say and do but to what we imagine.
Yet artists must imagine and they must believe that their imaginings have some effect in the world. Brauner was one of that group of surrealists who believed art and magic were inseparable. This is an old belief, as ancient, perhaps, as art itself and may be the very basis of human culture: human beings tell stories, not merely to entertain or deceive one another but because they face a perpetual and, at times, urgent need to remake and renew the world in which they live. This magical art is not just a matter of cave dwellers luring prey into their traps, or placating dysfunctional gods; indeed, art as magic is as urgent now, in our mass culture, as it has ever been. In a consumerist society, conventions have become limits; what we call reality has dulled; alien commercial and political structures militate against spiritual and intellectual growth.
In such a climate, our best artists seek other - and more rigorous - roads to freedom than those offered by self-help books and the entertainment business, and those roads are necessarily difficult, unpredictable and even harrowing, yet they are the only means by which, moment by moment, we save our souls. In the case of Sidney Orr, the way is hard but at the end he is able, both in the literal and the metaphorical sense, to accept Grace. This is what makes Oracle Night such a great novel, as fine as anything this genius of a writer has ever imagined, and then some.
Auster is an essential novelist and this is an essential book. It should not be missed.

I recently had the pleasure of meeting Karen Boyle, the founder of LearningGurus.com. Learning Gurus is essentially a staffing agency for professionals in the learning and technology field. Karen has over 15 years experience in corporate, government, and education settings, and she specializes in the learning and development/training industry. She started Learning Gurus to help place people in jobs, and at a time like this her services are even more critical.
I heard about Learning Gurus a few weeks ago, and I was surprised to learn that Karen was based just a few miles away from my office in San Diego. Karen and I met for lunch, and she filled me in on her philosophy and reasoning for starting Learning Gurus a few years ago. I was very impressed; Karen is in this to help match great people with great jobs, not to get rich. And Karen's background in training and development plays a huge role: She's able to match the right people with the right jobs. That's a key difference when comparing Learning Gurus to other staffing agencies.
I would highly recommend that you submit your information to Learning Gurus to be considered for jobs (it's free). I'm very happily employed right now, but in this economy, it's always smart to be aware of great services like this. And if you have a need for learning/technology talent at your organization, you should also get in touch with Karen.

Rick Santorum said Monday that his 3-year-old daughter, Bella, has had a "miraculous turnaround" after a brutal 36-hour battle with pneumonia.
"We have a long way to go, but she turned the corner and we are very, very grateful," the former Pennsylvania senator told Florida voters on a tele-town hall forum held from his daughter's hospital room.
Bella, Santorum's youngest daughter, suffers from Trisomy 18, a rare genetic disorder that claims the lives about 90 percent of babies before or during birth.
The GOP hopeful said his daughter will remain in intensive care at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia for several more days.
Even as Santorum contends with Bella's illness, his campaign continues full-steam ahead.
"We're going to get out on the campaign trail later tomorrow ... heading out to the Midwest, and start campaigning in the next states as we move this campaign forward," Santorum said.
"I feel very, very good about where we are and where the campaign is going," he added.

"Data flow as early as possible" could be problematic if your network isn't/wasn't designed properly. What kind of network are you talking about, a structured network where functions are layered (core, distribution, access) properly? A collapsed core? Generally at the Core layer you wouldn't want to slow down the network with filtering. It being the core layer, data has to get in fast and pass out fast. Distribution and access, sure. But to state "data flow as early as possible" is partially incorrect. If your network wasn't designed properly, sure. If your routers have enough memory, sure, if you want more rules atop more rules, sure. However, if your firewall can't perform or is getting choked then you should seek a better appliance/program.
Here is something I found a bit humorous about a month ago... I have a client (I maintain their telcom side of things (VoIP)). They have enterprise Firewall-1. The whole kit and kaboodle cost 90k last year. The vendor they purchased it from maintained it. That vendor lost the "certified" person to manage it... (I never knew one had to be CCSA/CCSE certified to maintain FW1 *snicker*). The staff at my client did not know how to manage FW1. Their solution? They sought to purchase a Cisco ASA5xxx series for something like 13k. My suggestion? After explaining to them they'd end up losing out by dumping FW1, going through the whole ROI with my client's senior management, going through the pros and cons... Turns out ... You guessed it, they stood with FW1, found a CP platinum partner to manage it, and that was the end of it. The reasoning they wanted to go with Cisco (outside of someone's notion of playing with something new) was, it was slow, too many rules, etc... After looking a
t their ruleset, doing a network analysis, rules were simplified, its use as a firewall was given to... The router as it should be... And guess what? Everyone is happy. -- Well at least everyone except the guy who wanted his new toy.
So while being slightly offtopic (hey I have to humor myself somehow), I don't believe filtering "straight from the top" is applicable to everyone. No two networks are the same.

Q: Do ferrets get along with other house pets?
A: It really depends on the home, the living environment and the pets. If all pets are monitored and safe, then there is no reason a variety of pets can't live in the same home.
We run an animal education nonprofit and, therefore, have a large variety of animals in our home. The ferrets have a free-roam room that the cats can access, and one of our cats prefers to use the ferret litter boxes. Occasionally, the ferrets get playtime with our skunk. Dogs can play with ferrets, but never unsupervised, as either can quickly get hurt.
I wouldn't allow a ferret to be near or play with a rodent of any kind, as the ferret might consider the other animal as food, and it would cause unnecessary stress to the rodent. Birds and reptiles should also be kept separate from ferrets for similar reasons of injury and stress.

He's not an average quarterback. He's not a below-average quarterback.

Mirror file photo by Patrick?Waksmunski
Terrelle Pryor, here against PSU last season, had a rough game Saturday in Ohio State's loss at Purdue.
Terrelle Pryor is a bad quarterback whose lack of progress midway through his sophomore season has to be alarming at Ohio State.
Pryor is a phenomenal athlete with great potential. But it's looking more and more like he's a phenomenal athlete who's playing the wrong position.
The 6-foot-6, 235-pounder has wide receiver written all over him, and that's where he likely will play in the NFL.
Pryor looked terrible Saturday as the Buckeyes were shocked, 26-18, against a Purdue team that came in with a 1-5 record.
His final numbers - 17-of-31 for 221 yards - were decent but very misleading. Pryor looked lost nearly every time he dropped back as the Buckeyes fell behind, 26-10.
As crazy as it sounds now, it may be a good thing Pryor did not come to Penn State.
He would be in his second year sitting behind Daryll Clark - a much, much better quarterback at this point - and given that he hasn't developed much as a starter so far, there's little reason to believe Pryor would be reliable after being a backup for two years.
The Buckeyes and coach Jim Tressel don't seem to know what to do with Pryor. Do they continue to try and make him comfortable as a drop-back passer, or do they revamp the offense and take advantage of his overall athletic abilities?
Pryor and Tressel are facing increasing scrutiny in Columbus, and it will only get worse if the quarterback continues to struggle.
"He's definitely a tremendous talent," Clark said when asked Saturday about Pryor.
OK, but is he a quarterback?
"I feel like he's a quarterback," Clark said. "He can definitely hurt you both ways [running and throwing].
"I feel like he's more of a runner right now, still has to work on becoming a polished passer," Clark added. "It could definitely happen for him."
Until it does, Clark knows Pryor will have to face criticism.
"It's going to be tough for him for the next couple of days or whatnot, but in this game and the position that we play, it comes with the territory," Clark said. "You've got to be able to take the good with the bad.
"The question for him is: How's he going to play next week? How's Ohio State going to play next week. And how will he be on Monday for practice?"
SUBHD: No. 2: Boise State
It's a joke that Boise State is No. 4 in the initial BCS standings, released Sunday.
Anyone who watched the Broncos' game at Tulsa last week already knows the team is pretty good, but nowhere remotely close to being worthy of a top-five ranking.
Oklahoma beat Tulsa, 45-0, without Sam Bradford.
Boise State needed a late stop on defense to preserve a 28-21 win. Had they destroyed Tulsa, maybe they could be in the conversation. But not now.
The Broncos beat a good Oregon team in the season opener, but the rest of their schedule is lousy: Miami (Ohio), Fresno State, Bowling Green, California-Davis, Tulsa, Hawaii, San Jose State, Louisiana Tech, Idaho, Utah State, Nevada, New Mexico State.
Boise, like all other mid-majors, deserves a shot to play for a national title if it's worthy. This team is not worthy.
Put the Broncos in a BCS bowl if they go undefeated. But for goodness sake, that team would go 9-3 at best in the Big Ten and probably 8-4 in the SEC.
SUBHD: No. 3: The Big 12
Ta ta ... ta ta ta!
Texas barely beat Oklahoma, 16-13, with Bradford injured. Can the Longhorns and Colt McCoy really be that good?
SUBHD: No. 4: Charlie Weis
No coach does less with more talent than Notre Dame's head guy. The Fighting Irish still get their share of elite recruits, but Weis is now 31-23 in his fifth season.
The only reason he kept his job after last season was because the university didn't want to pay $20 million to buy out his contract.
The Irish gave No. 6 USC a good battle Saturday, losing 34-27, but moral victories and Notre Dame should not appear in the same sentence.
The Irish's schedule sets up nicely for a possible 9-3 regular season, which should save Weis' job. But if they slip into the 7-5 range, the heat on the coach will intensify.
SUBHD: No. 5: Turning down millions
If you're a college junior majoring in business and IBM offers you a $5 million job, you would TAKE IT!
You go to college to get a good career. It's fun and all, and you make lots of memories, but don't lose sight of the ultimate goal.
Someone should have crammed that into Bradford's head after last season.
It's incredibly sad, tragic even, what may happen to Oklahoma's star quarterback. He had a chance to enter the NFL draft a year early, be the No. 1 overall pick and pocket upwards of $40 million in guaranteed money.
Now, his career may be in jeopardy because of a right shoulder injury, and he may never even play in the NFL.
Some players should stay in school and help their draft stock, making them more money the following year. But if the stock is already that high, it's foolish to go back to school and risk injury.
College will always be there. The NFL will not.

Held in the Jefferson Parish jail after he was caught selling copper he gutted from businesses' air conditioning units in Kenner and Metairie three years ago, Brian Messmer agreed to be a jailhouse informant in a murder investigation in late 2011, a role that likely benefited him when he pleaded guilty in a six-count theft case last fall. In exchange for agreeing to testify on what the accused murderer told him, Jefferson Parish District Attorney Paul Connick Jr. signed a letter on Messmer's behalf, disclosing to a judge the "invaluable assistance" he provided in the homicide investigation.
Messmer was sentenced last fall to two years in prison for the six copper thefts, and was given credit for the time he already served behind bars. Prosecutors agreed not to seek an enhanced sentence under Louisiana's habitual offender law, given his prior felony convictions. He walked away a free man, albeit a thrice-convicted felon. He remained free until last week.
Messmer, 43, was booked Friday with theft and simple criminal damage, for allegedly stealing copper coils from an air conditioning condenser outside an automotive parts store in the 6500 block of Airline Drive, according to a Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office arrest report. The air conditioning unit he allegedly damaged was worth $15,000, according to the report.
Messmer was released Tuesday from the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center in Gretna, after posting a $15,000 bond. His attorney in the six-count theft case, Jim Williams, declined to comment Tuesday, saying he was unaware of the latest arrest and no longer represents him.
Messmer pleaded guilty on Nov. 5 to six counts of theft involving amounts of $500, each of which carries a sentence of up to two years in prison. A Kenner police detective caught Messmer at a scrap yard trying to sell the copper he stole on June 2, 2010. The day before, he stood before a 24th Judicial District Court judge in Gretna and pleaded guilty to theft and narcotics charges, for using a business's credit card to buy gas an possessing cocaine. He received two years of probation in that case.
Facing new theft charges in addition to violating conditions of his probation, Messmer agreed to be a jailhouse snitch. At the request of a detective, he kept an ear open for anything said by accused killer Maxim Hoppens, who in October 2011 was held in a neighboring cell at the correctional center in Gretna, court records show.
Messmer later told authorities that Hoppens implicated himself in the August 2011, beating death of David Goldberg, 67, prosecutors said in court records.
So, as part of Messmer's plea agreement in the six-count theft case, Connick and Assistant District Attorney Ernie Chen disclosed in writing the help Messmer provided in the Hoppens investigation.
"In consideration of Messmer's pleas of guilty, as charged, to the bill of information herein, the State of Louisiana hereby respectfully informs this Honorable Court that defendant Messmer has provided invaluable assistance to Jefferson Parish law enforcement authorities in connection with a second degree murder prosecution," the prosecutors wrote in a Nov. 5 letter to Judge Donnie Rowan, who presided over Messmer's theft cases.
"As part of his cooperation, defendant Messmer has agreed, if called upon, to testify completely and truthfully as to all conversations he has had with Maxim Hoppens, as well as all conversations defendant Messmer has overheard in which conversations Maxim Hoppens was a participant, while they both were held at the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center," the prosecutors wrote.
Tim McElroy, who oversees felony prosecutions for the district attorney's office, said Monday the letter simply acknowledges Messmer's willingness to be a witness and nothing more. Prosecutors did not reduce the charges in exchange for his testimony against Hoppens, he said.
"We did not negotiate a plea deal," McElroy said.
Messmer never had to live up to his end of the plea agreement, because Hoppens pleaded guilty last month to manslaughter and was sentenced to 40 years in prison. Hoppens' attorney Claude Kelly said Tuesday he did not know whether prosecutors would have called Messmer to testify had the case gone to trial.
But Messmer's claims alone did not influence Hoppens' guilty plea. "Was it a major factor? None whatsoever," Kelly said.
"But I think he (Messmer) was so incredible, his credibility could have been destroyed," Kelly said. "His story was laced with dreams and stuff you could have gathered from the newspaper."
Messmer, meanwhile, still owes the victims in the six-count theft case for the damage he caused the businesses in stealing the copper. A restitution hearing had been set for Jan. 7, but it was canceled at Rowan's request, records show. A new date has not been set.
This story was updated to including information about Messmer bonding out of jail.

Jimenez Maintains Lead in Greater Gwinnett Championship
Though he wasn't nearly as torrid as in the first round when he fired a 7-under 65 to take a three-stroke lead in the Greater Gwinnett Championship in his Champions Tour debut, Miguel Angel Jimenez remains atop the leaderboard in the $1.8 million, 54-hole event at TPC Sugarloaf in Duluth, Ga.

Information for people entering the UK with assistance dogs.
You can bring your assistance dog into the UK without quarantine as long as it meets the rules of the EU pet travel scheme.
It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that their dog is fully compliant with the scheme. If your assistance dog doesn't comply with the rules it may not be able to enter Great Britain, or may be licensed into quarantine on arrival.
Travelling with assistance dogs by air, sea or rail
You can bring your assistance dog into the UK on many air, sea or rail routes, providing that the requirements of the EU pet travel scheme are fully met. Which routes can be used depends on whether the air, sea and rail carriers are subject to EU or GB rules on the transport of assistance dogs.
All assistance dogs will be checked for compliance with the EU pet travel scheme. For assistance dogs arriving in Great Britain by air, the airport managing body is responsible for carrying out these checks and airports must have checking facilities in place to do so. Assistance dogs arriving by sea will be checked by the ferry or cruise company.
You should plan your journey as early as possible. Routes may change and new ones may be added. Some routes are seasonal or irregular so check availability and all your other proposed travel arrangements with the transport company before booking your journey to the UK. Check the costs, requirements and procedures. Companies may have their own additional conditions of travel.
Travelling by air
Airlines with a valid operating licence issued by an EU country (Community air carriers) are required to transport recognised assistance dogs in the cabin of aircraft. Airports are also required to provide services to disabled persons and arrange for the handling of assistance dogs. These rules are laid down in EU Regulation 1107/2006.
If you are travelling with a non-EU carrier different rules apply. While many airlines will accept assistance dogs it is worth checking with them directly.
Community air carriers bringing assistance dogs into Great Britain are requested to agree a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA). Non-EU air carriers transporting assistance dogs should have a Required Method of Operation (RMOP) in place with APHA and the receiving airport, which will set out how the dogs are checked on arrival.
Check the airlines and airports registered to transport and check assistance dogs.
Guidance for air carriers
Travelling by sea or rail
Ferry and rail operators subject to EU legislation are legally obliged to accept disabled persons or persons with reduced mobility, who might be accompanied by a recognised assistance dog.
The EU rules governing travel by sea apply to all ferry services entering and leaving the UK, as well as cruise services which embark from any EU country (including the UK) and which disembark or make a transit stop at a UK port. Guidance on EU Regulation 1177/2010 relating to passenger rights when travelling by sea.
Ferry operators and cruise ships carrying assistance dogs into Great Britain are requested to agree a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with APHA:
Non-EU carriers operating cruises that start outside the EU will need a Required Method of Operation (RMOP) for disembarkation in the UK if this is the first point of arrival in the EU, but will be covered by an MOU for any moves from another EU port on arrival in the UK.
Check the sea and rail companies registered to transport assistance dogs.
Guidance for ferry and cruise companies
Guidance for ferry and cruise companies on how their business operations in Great Britain may be affected by the introduction of EU Regulation 1177/2010 on 18 December 2012 is set out in:

The University of Maine men's basketball team comes into Sunday afternoon's game (4:30 start) with a record of 2-10, and didn't win it's first game against an NCAA Division I team until beating Middle Tennessee on Dec. 29.
The Black Bears were bolstered just before the new year by the return of junior forward Killian Cato. Cato, who was ineligible for the first semester, scored 12 points off the bench in the win against Middle Tennessee as well as a loss to Chattanooga the next day (Maine played in a tournament in Tennessee).
Maine lost it's two best players from last season in guard Justin Edwards, the conference's leading scorer, and forward Alasdair Fraser. Edwards, a sophomore second-team all-conference selection, transferred to Kansas State. Fraser, a junior second-team all-conference selection, left the program to play professionally overseas.
Despite those key losses, the Black Bears have four players (not including Cato) scoring 10 points per game or more. Junior guard Xavier Pollard leads the way with 16.7 points per game in seven games (six starts) . He did not play the previous two games in Tennessee reportedly because of an ankle injury.
However, defensively the Black Bears have been less than stellar. They've given up an average of 89.2 points per game. They've given up 100 points or more twice this season, and they haven't held a Division I opponent to less than 80 points.
"They're struggling at the defensive end so far this season, but they're better than people think," Bearcats coach Tommy Dempsey said of Maine. "Once I really started to watch them over the last few days, they have a lot of offensive talent. Those kids play well on a given night and they're going to be competitive with everybody in our league.
"I know they're probably trying to figure out how they're going to get stops right now because, offensively, they're averaging (close to) 80 points per game. Normally, if you're averaging (almost) 80 points per game, you're winning games. I think if they can tighten things up defensively during conference play, they're going to win some conference games. I've been impressed by what I've seen from them, especially on the offensive end, in the film."

K-Pod Calls from Yesterday

That is so neat... How did you record them? Its one thing to hear them on a CD, but I think it would be so neat to hear them "live" in person... :)

Out at Lime Kiln lighthouse, you can listen to the hydrophones live on 88.1 FM. I bought an Mp3 player that has a built-in FM recorder so I could record off the FM broadcast of the hydrophones. You can also listen in for the whales at www.orcasound.net, where all the local hydrophones are streaming on the internet. It's fun to hear them "live" when you're out there, but it also makes you very aware of all the other underwater noise like freighters and speed boats!
