Book Details Lives As Journalists
A book co-written by the late Jack Kady went on sale three weeks ago, with a copy on the shelves of the Moundsville-Marshall County Public Library. The book is "Newsroom Buddies."
Kady died on Aug. 4, 2013 prior to the book being finished, with co-writer Sandi Latimer completing the final chapter, most of which was a tribute to Kady.
The Kady family lived in Glen Dale for several years, with Jack graduating from Union High School in 1951. His father, John, was an educator in West Virginia for some 40 years which included four schools in Marshall County as principal at Boggs Run Elementary, Center McMechen Elementary, Sherrard School and as assistant principal at Moundsville High School.
Jack was the oldest of six boys in the family, and after graduating from Union he took a job at the Pentagon, working for the Department of the Army, typing reports sent from all the military bases and the Signal Corps. He was 17 years old at the time and had a Top Secret clearance. After nine months he quit that job and enlisted in the Air Force, where he spent four years, two of which were on Okinawa.
After his four-year stint in the military he enrolled at West Virginia University. He started out in business administration before getting into the journalism field. While at WVU, he held several staff positions on the Daily Athenaeum, the school newspaper.
His first newspaper job was at the Charleston office of the United Press International, and later he was Bureau manager of UPI offices in Baltimore, Lexington, Ky., and Columbus.
In "Newspaper Buddies," Kady and Latimer alternated their personal stories of working together from the late 1960 thorough 1990. They tell how they enjoyed the high points of life as journalists and how they handled being survivors as they watched UPI dwindle to a mere shadow of what it once was.
Kady's career also included writing two other books, "A Sentry's Saga on Okinawa," and "From Kennedy to Kent State: A Reporter's Notebook."
As has been the tradition for the past several years, the Cockayne Farmstead in Glen Dale will be open on West Virginia Day, which this year will be this Friday.
Events will be held from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m., while from 6-8 p.m. there will be a barbecue chicken/pulled pork dinner.

He was employed by the city from 1987-90 as a police/fire dispatcher for the city He began his police career in February 1990.

Type: Bug
Status: Resolved
Priority: Blocker
Resolution: Fixed
Affects Version/s: 1.8.1, 2.0
Fix Version/s: 2.0
Component/s: couchbase-bucket
Security Level: Public
this case could occur in many places
1- when node is waming up and ns-server sneds a shutdown command to delete the bucket during warmup
2- when node is warming up ( a failed over node ) ns-server sends a shutdown command to delete the bucket
3- when a node which was rebalanced out but for some reason memcached is still doing sth , ns-server sends a shut down command
scenario #2 is very very common and in large environments where warm up takes 8 hours or so user will keep retrying the rebalance button and it wont succeed unless user manually kills the memcached process manually by running kill command.
in general ep-engine needs to abort instead of crashing
on the other hand during normal shutdown , when ns-server sends a command to ep-engine to shut down . ep-engine should wait until all items are flushed and then shutdown.
seems like we need to differentiate a command that says shut down gracefully or shut down with force.
some of the bugs :
Gerrit Reviews
The toy build for a fix candidate has been uploaded for testing. QE and the development team will be verifying the fix for next few days. Thanks!
tried to test toy build for cases in
MB-7110 [system test] rebalance failed due to "Failed to wait deletion of some buckets on some nodes"
with steps:
1. cluster 4 nodes, 1 default and 1 sasl bucket with 1500MB of RAM allocated
10.3.121.112, 10.3.121.113, 10.3.121.114, 10.3.121.115
2. load ~1.6M items in each bucket
3. add node in cluster 10.3.121.116
result: received exactly the same erros as in the
MB-7263 Service memcached constantly exited on dest master node after certain steps in XDCR + rebalance scenarious: Port server memcached on node 'email@example.com' exited with status 71. failed to listen on TCP port 11210: Address already in use
Port server memcached on node 'email@example.com' exited with status 71. Restarting. Messages: Mon Dec 3 03:11:51.120720 PST 3: failed to listen on TCP port 11210: Address already in use
leave the cluster alive for investigation
Thanks Andrei. Please leave the cluster while the development team is investigating the issue.
In the mean time please note that:
1) this bug is to track ep-engine crash when it receives the shutdown (delete) while warminging up. The toy build must have addressed the issue and your last test didn't see the crash from ep-engine threads.
2) as you stated, the latest error (OSERR = 71, port already being in use) you encountered sounds much like the original issue of
MB-7263. Which I will continue to investigate from this point on.
from bug-scrub mtg,
looks like there's fix from Jin and from ns-server team (the infinity fix), and they both need to go in.
Added to RN as:
During Couchbase Server warmup or rebalance, if you delete a data bucket,
it will cause the node to crash.
Integrated in github-ep-engine-2-0 #461 (See http://qa.hq.northscale.net/job/github-ep-engine-2-0/461/)
MB-7272 stop warmup task immediately if shutdown is being requested (Revision 6b89027ba3b2b461d978d593b14918040c819e2c)
Result = SUCCESS

CLEVELAND, Ohio What should the Ohio High School Athletic Association do next to resolve the football playoff controversy involving several local schools?
Vote in our poll at the bottom of this webpage to express what you think should happen. Meanwhile, attorneys with the OHSAA and four schools are trying to determine what happens next.
On Thursday afternoon, Cleveland Heights won an injunction in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court against the OHSAA that put the Tigers and Beachwood in the playoffs, and knocked out Mayfield and Ashtabula Edgewood.
The court ruled that Cleveland Heights, which filed an appeal with the OHSAA over the weekend, would play St. Edward on Saturday in a Division I regional quarterfinal, a game Mayfield has been practicing to play all week.
In Division IV, Beachwood would take Edgewood's berth against Brookfield.
The case centers on a John F. Kennedy forfeit of its Oct. 18 victory against John Adams. JFK forfeited after it discovered a player participated who did not meet Cleveland Metropolitan School District academic eligibility standards, which are more stringent than OHSAA standards.
Cleveland Heights defeated John Adams during the regular season, and Edgewood beat JFK. If John Adams received an additional victory, it would given Cleveland Heights enough second-level playoff points to qualify for the Region 1 playoffs as the eighth and final seed. The additional JFK loss would drop Edgewood below Beachwood for the eighth seed in Region 13.
Judge Richard McMonagle ruled the OHSAA must accept the JFK forfeit.

The interest in studying land ice for glaciological and climate change research has increased in recent years. The need of information on a global scale makes synthetic aperture radar (SAR) suitable for these studies. Moreover, at long wavelengths, SAR systems have the capability to penetrate into the ice. Hence they are sensitive to glacier surface as well as near-surface (up to several tens of meters depth) structures. However, SAR backscattering from ice remains poorly understood including the importance of scattering from the glacier surface compared to scattering from the ice volume (layers), and the dependencies on frequency and on glacier facie. The objective of this study is the development of an electromagnetic model to relate PolSAR observables to glacier and ice caps facie. Validation will be performed with airborne Pol-SAR data at L- and P-band collected by the DLR's E-SAR system within the ICESAR campaign in Svalbard, Norway.

It was billed as a "Sexy, Sinful Halloween" bash, and some of the costumes at the Palm Bar in Morristown on Oct. 31 certainly had heads turning. Other costumes drew attention for their creativity.
The night club was filled with everything from sleek Ghostbusters and goofy spaceballs to life-like Nintendo characters. And yes, there were some smiling bumblebees and a foxy abominable snow woman spotted on the dance floor.
Prizes were given out for different categories, and the winner of the sexiest costume won a free trip to Las Vegas.
In case you missed the party, here's a sampling of the costumes on display on Halloween night...
We know a lot of you had your cameras out on Halloween. We'd love to see your photos -- and videos. Pick out a few of your favorites and upload them here on this link. Let the world see your artistic talent.

• If you've been to a UMass women's lacrosse game this season, you may have spotted a familar face in attendance, as New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has become somewhat of a regular in Amherst to support the Minutewomen and his daughter, Amanda.
The Boston Globe profiled 25-year-old UMass women's lacrosse assistant coach Amanda Belichick, offering a fascinatiing glimpse into the passion for coaching that runs through both father and daughter.
"He says, 'You should work on this, because if I was scouting you I'd do this.' Or, 'Figure out how to stop that.' Stuff that we kind of know, too, but it's nice because there are so many moving parts on the sideline it's always helpful.''
Bill Belichick said he is not qualified to grade his daughter as a coach.
"Ask her peers,'' he said. But he stressed that lacrosse is a totally different game than football.
"In football you go back to the huddle after every play,'' he said. "In hockey, basketball, lacrosse, and soccer you keep playing, so you don't get as many set plays.''
UMass (2-4) hosts Yale at McGuirk Stadium on Wednesday, March 10 — the team's last home game until April 11.
• The UMass men's lacrosse team lost its first game of the season Friday night, falling to Yale, 13-12.
The Minutemen try to get back on track at home, Tuesday, March 9 against Albany. Game time is 3:00 PM at Garber Field in Amherst.
• UMass announced that they will not renew the contract of women's basketball head coach Marnie Dacko. The Minutewomen were 11-19 this season, 9th in the Atlantic 10.
Dacko coached UMass for eight seasons, with a career mark of 98-135.

NEW BRUNSWICK — Rutgers University today named six alumni and board members to a task force that will study whether to overhaul the state university's governance.
Rutgers officials said last month they would form a group to study ways to improve the university's governing board system. The seven-member group will be headed by the Rev. M. William Howard Jr., pastor of Bethany Baptist Church in Newark and a former chairman of the Rutgers Board of Governors.
"Everyone in New Jersey has a stake in the success of Rutgers University," Howard said. "We look forward to gathering information and insights from key stakeholders inside and outside the university community."
Senate President Stephen Sweeney (D-Gloucester) recently introduced legislation to eliminate the Rutgers Board of Trustees, one of the school's two governing boards, saying it is outdated and unnecessary. Rutgers officials opposed the legislation, which is still awaiting a vote in Trenton.
Rutgers officials did not mention Sweeney's legislation when they announced the formation of the task force. Campus officials said Rutgers' recent merger with the former University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey presents a good opportunity to re-evaluate the university's structure.
"This is one of the most significant and challenging periods in Rutgers University's nearly 250-year history," said Gerald Harvey, chairman of the Rutgers Board of Governors. "Our historic integration in July with most of the schools, centers and institutes that made up the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey has transformed Rutgers into a much larger and more comprehensive university with tremendous potential. To ensure that Rutgers continues to excel, we should critically evaluate all aspects of our university – including our governance."
Rutgers has an unusual system with two governing boards. The 15-member board of governors includes eight members chosen by the governor and seven chosen by the trustees. They make most of the major decisions at Rutgers, including selecting a president, approving the budget and setting tuition.
The 59-member board of trustees is a remnant of Rutgers' days as a private university. But the trustees still hold some significant power, including the responsibility of overseeing the property Rutgers owned before it became the state university in 1956.
Last year, the trustees helped derail a controversial proposal supported by Sweeney and other lawmakers that would have given Rutgers' Camden campus to Rowan University in Glassboro.
The task force is scheduled to issue its recommendations in December. All of the members of the Rutgers task force are current or former members of one of Rutgers' boards.
The members appointed today are:
• Sandy Stewart, a retired scientist and biotech entrepreneur, and member of the board of trustees.
• Marisa Dietrich, who was elected in 2011 as a student member of the board of trustees. She graduated from Rutgers-Camden in January and works for Girl Scouts Central and Southern New Jersey.
• Gordon MacInnes, a former state senator and member of the board of governors.
• Iris Martinez-Campbell, a member of the board of trustees who works for the Perth Amboy Public Schools Early Childhood Program.
• Kenneth Schmidt, retired managing director of UBS, and member of the board of governors.
• Heather Taylor, an audit director at EisnerAmper, and member of the board of trustees.
• Oliver will not advance bill to dissolve Rutgers Board of Trustees
• Effort to eliminate Rutgers Board of Trustees runs into roadblock

Grand Rapids Boat Show
Where: DeVos Place convention center
Admission: $9 adults, $4 for children 6-14 and free for children 5 and under, when accompanied by an adult
Examples: New boat deals
2008 200 Horizon 20-foot Four Winns
2009 260 Horizon 26-foot Four Winns
20-foot Sylvan Pontoon
2009 17-foot Glastron
They'll be showcasing their newest offerings as well as deeply discounted 2009 and 2008 models at the annual Grand Rapids Boat Show that opens today and runs through Sunday at DeVos Place in downtown Grand Rapids.
"We are ahead of the game compared to last year," said Jim Bromley, sales manager of Hall's Sports Center in Muskegon, which sells Four Winns power boats and Manitou pontoons.
"There is a lot more interest. Sales are up 25 percent over last year."
It's about time.
Whether it was cars, boats or RVs, recession-weary consumers have steered away from big-ticket purchases.
Powerboat sales fell 30 percent last year over 2008, according to the National Marine Manufacturers Association in Chicago.
Statewide, sales of powerboats 14 feet and longer have sunk nearly 55 percent since 2005, according to the Grand Rapids-based Statistical Surveys Inc.
This season's early "green sprouts" came at the annual Detroit Boat show, also running this week. Its organizer reported boat sales were up during the opening weekend over last year.
At the Muskegon dealership, Bromley attributes the improvement to pent-up demand. Boating is just too important to the West Michigan way of life where residents have their choice of inland lakes and Lake Michigan coastline.
"They love their boats," agreed Tony Gruver, co-owner of the Wayland based- Premier Motorsports. "They are going to buy a boat if there is a good deal."
And there are plenty, dealers say.
Discounts will be even better than last year's highly hyped deals because manufacturers are throwing in cash incentives worth up to $6,000 to clear out '08 and '09 models, dealers say."Last year, they might have offered incentives like free upgrades. This year, we have unprecedented discounts from the manufacturers that I have never seen in my 20 years in the business," said Jerry Brouwer, owner of the Hudsonville-based Action Water Sports that sells MasterCraft, Cobalt and JC Pontoon boats.
Brouwer said he has up to 40 "new" older boats he is eager to sell but few of them will be at DeVos Place. Instead, most of his display space will be devoted to 2010 models -- including some that are making their debut in the Michigan market.
"I think the wrong strategy is to turn this show into a garage sale," Brouwer said. "My feeling is you come to a boat show because you want to see what is new."
There will be more than 250 boats on display, from personal watercraft to a 37-foot cruiser, said show organizer Henri Boucher. Some will be floating in a "huge lagoon," made from a 110,000 gallon, 90- by 40-foot-long pool.
Unlike the auto show, attendees can order boats and accessories at this show.
For those who have been waiting for prices to bottom out, this may be the year to take advantage of the industry's struggles.
"The manufacturers have starved the pipeline to get the inventory back to a healthy level," Brouwer said. "There will be no inventory or very little discount going forward."
A year ago, there were 2,500 MasterCraft boats sitting in dealerships across the country, Brouwer said. Today, that number is less than 1,200. With production cut, it will be around 700 next year.
"That's all models across North America for all dealers," Brouwer said. "In the future, there just won't be a deal. You won't be able to get a boat without waiting six months."
Some of the dealers' older "new" stock are boats they picked up when other dealers closed their doors.
"I think that inventory will be cleaned out by next year," Bromley said. "We bought a bunch of boats when nobody was buying so we can offer these prices. Some of these are crazy compared to what 2010 will be."E-mail Shandra Martinez: firstname.lastname@example.com

So BKS's 78.2% stake in NOOK is now worth $23.75 per share standalone. Now, if you add the value of the retail books business, $820mil @ projected cash flow multiple of 3.5 minus $500mil debt and preferred - the value of the retail books div is $14 per share. In summary, fair value is $35-40 - and with an imminent NOOK spin-off TBA, the market will reward BKS shareholders with an instant PPS spike to $35.

Editor's Note: This article is part of a regular monthly series on the history of Webster City, written by local historian, Nancy Kayser.
Alexander Groves believed in his community. His benevolence was legendary. But his gift of an Abraham Lincoln bronze statue by George E. Ganiere, famed Chicago sculptor, to the students of Webster City is a legacy which has endured for 100 years.
Groves presented the statue in 1913 as a memorial to his son Harry, to remind the city youth of the greatness and ideals of Abraham Lincoln.
Article Photos
George E. Ganiere's bronze of Abraham Lincoln stands seven feet, four inches high. The statue is an original design by Ganiere who took the measurements for Lincoln's hands and face from actual masks of him.
Alexander Groves came to Hamilton County from West Virginia in 1855 with his siblings and parents, Jackson and Caroline Groves, to settle in a small cabin three miles south of Webster City. At maturity, Groves moved to his own farm near Kamrar. Along with farming, he was an accomplished cattle feeder who regularly accompanied the carloads of fat stock to the Chicago markets where the stock generally "topped the market" for the day.
Groves became quite familiar with Chicago due to his business interests and his livestock shipments. But there is no known history on how or why he selected George E. Ganiere in 1912, a teacher at the Art Institute in Chicago and well known sculptor, to create the statue of Abraham Lincoln in honor of his first born son, Harry, an accomplished Montana attorney who died of tuberculosis in 1909.
In January of 1912, the Webster City school board resolved to erect a new high school building on the site of the old city electric light and power house the southeast corner of Bank and Des Moines streets. W. J. Zitterell Company of Webster City was selected as the main contractor for the unnamed 26-room brick building which eventually cost close to $47,000.
The tribute to Alexander Groves given at a school assembly by Bess Lyons the week after his death was published in "The School's Journal" in the November 14, 1934 edition of the Freeman Journal. Lyons, county historian and local history teacher recounted in her tribute, "of the preparations made by the class of 1913 to dedicate the new high school building It was then that Mr. Groves went to the school board and offered to present the statue of Lincoln to the boys and girls of Webster City, if their high school could be honored by the name of Lincoln. The offer was accepted."
The Lincoln bronze was completed in early 1913 in the Chicago based Midway Studios of Lorado Taft, where George Ganiere's work space was located. Ganiere came to Webster City in mid-February of that year to supervise the mounting of the statue in the new high school's assembly room. The statue was then draped in sheeting awaiting its formal dedication.
Students, faculty and invited guests gathered in Lincoln High School's assembly hall on April 9, 1913 for the presentation and dedication of the Ganiere Lincoln statue. Following an invocation by Rev. Arthur Metcalf, L. A. McMurray presented the statue to the school on behalf of the Alexander Groves family. J. W. Lee, a member of the school board and Harry Miller, member of the class of 1913, made acceptance speeches.
The Groves family also hosted a concluding dedicatory service at the city's Opera House that same evening with an address on the life of Abraham Lincoln presented by Dr. George L. Scherger, head of the department of history in the Armour Institute of Chicago.
A week later, the school system held a formal open house and dedication of the new high school for the public and the citizens of the city got their first good look at the statue. After the spring break, students moved into the new building to complete that year's session.
No mention was made of the cost of the statue in the Webster City newspapers. While the event was reported by numerous state and national newspapers, only one, the Emmetsburg Democrat, published a cost. That paper, in April 16, 1912 stated the statue cost $7,500 but no background or supporting information was contained in the article. Jessie McMurray, assistant librarian at Kendall Young Library and daughter of L. A. McMurray, wrote in a July 15, 1930 reply to a letter from Lincoln National Life Insurance Company of Fort Wayne, Indiana a repository for information on all Lincoln statues "As to the price, I can only say that I have heard that it cost about $3,000, but have no authority for that."
In 1927, Alexander Groves requested that the Ganiere Lincoln statue be moved from the assembly hall to the outside of Lincoln High School so that everyone could see the statue each day and be reminded of Abraham Lincoln's great service to his country. The statue was placed on the northwest corner of the grounds on a new granite base made by the Harrison Granite Company of Chicago in August of 1927. The original Verde antique marble base was returned to the Groves family.
In 1938, Doris Neel Groves, widow of Alexander, donated the statue's original marble base for the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) Dragoon Trail plaque which still stands on the northeast corner of Kendall Young Library.
Webster City students moved from the Lincoln High School to a new high school on School Street, now Lynx Avenue, in 1961. But the Lincoln statue did not follow them until September of 1964 when the Zitterell-Mills Company of Webster City brought in special equipment from Des Moines to move the five-ton granite base and the towering bronze figure to east front of the building.
W. F. Hunter, editor of the Freeman Journal related in his November 8, 1934 obituary of his great friend Alexander Groves, "Never a day passed when Mr. Groves was in the city, that he did not visit this statue in reverence. He passed it on his way to and from his home and down town and always he would stop, sometimes but briefly and for longer periods at other times."
Generations of Webster City students have gazed at the Ganiere Lincoln statue. It was Alexander Groves' hope that they might be forever influenced by the life and legend of the great leader and especially the words on the scroll "With malice toward none."
George E. Ganiere's bronze of Abraham Lincoln stands seven feet, four inches high. The statue is an original design by Ganiere who took the measurements for Lincoln's hands and face from actual life masks of him. The bronze was cast by the American Art Bronze Foundry in Chicago and originally was mounted on a Verde antique marble base from the Vermont Marble Company. The current base is granite from the Harrison Granite Company, Chicago. Lincoln's left hand holds a scroll inscribed with his second inaugural address which begins with the words "With malice toward none."

Texas has five. Florida actually has eight. Pennsylvania still has four, but a proposal to go to six was shot down this year by its high school athletic association.
Football classifications for public high schools vary from state to state, and as you no doubt know, the Garden State has implemented a fifth public-school grouping starting this season. In addition to Group I, Group II, Group III and Group IV, we now have a Group V.
Each group has four sections: North I, North II, Central and South.
As a former math whiz, that means we will be crowning 20 public-school "state champions."
With eight teams also qualifying for Group V, this means an additional 32 teams will vie for a piece of the state-championship pie.
Of course, there really is no pie.
There's never been a pie. Not in New Jersey.
No one completes a season, even a perfect one, being a true state champion. Not in New Jersey.
You can be North Jersey 2, Group III champion, but that only means you won three playoff games against teams from maybe four or five counties.
This isn't like basketball, where only one school (usually a non-public) wins the overall state title in actual head-to-head competition. And of course you still have state champs for each of the groups prior to the Tournament of Champions.
And wrestling, while at least playing out an overall team champion in each group, does of course go the distance for individuals. So we know if there is a season-long debate that the 101-pound kid from High Point is better than the 101-pound kid from Audubon, at least it can ultimately be decided in Atlantic City.
Otherwise, like football and team wrestling, arguments over who actually is the best in the state is left for newspapers to determine. That is for the alums at the local bar and grill to decide. That's for the cop in South Plainfield to debate with his former academy classmate who cruises Jackson Township.
But back to the issue of Group V, which begins this weekend and again will end on the first weekend of December — with 24 champions. Or rather, 24 "champions."
Technically, it's, "state sectional champions." As in, Central Jersey Group III sectional state champions. Or, North Jersey, Section 2, Group V state sectional champions.
For one thing, how do all those words fit on a varsity jacket?
More immediate, why do we need four more "state champions?"
Why is each section now more likely to have teams with losing records slotted to provide a full eight-team bracket?
Yes, the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA) needs money these days. It continues to be attacked by lawyers and opponents who believe the guys in Robbinsville have for too long been pocketing profits to buy too many flowers for the office or ordering lobster too often at business meetings.
That aside — we assume cash is always behind the curtain — enough already with all the trophies that will be handed out in December.
What is this: T-ball?
Without getting into great detail, East Brunswick football coach Marcus Borden had the best proposal. Which of course was shot down.
He designed a plan that would still have the season end on the first weekend in December, and would at least have one state champion in each of the groups; ergo one Group I champ, one Group II champ — just like wrestling.
Unlike basketball, it's quite unlikely that a Group I football team could knock off a Group V team anyway, so there would be little sense going that route. Besides, by the time that round-robin would end, even though only four teams would still be playing, it would be Christmas.
What to do. Start the season in mid-August? Really?
Eliminate Thanksgiving Day games — may as well throw another tradition in the dumpster — and eliminate open dates whereby schools play nine games over 10 weeks.
That is how you create enough weeks to have a more true determination of a "state champion."
With the additional grouping, including non-public classifications, we will have 24 overall football "champions" this year.
That's crazy. It's silly.
In all sports, and certainly at the high school level, if you want to be the best, you play the best.
It's simple.
This should be a case of less being more. Instead we have more being less. I mean, 24 New Jersey state champions?

Shahrukh spending too much on Ra.One!
It is said that the budget of Ra.One has shot up beyond expectations. Red Chillies Entertainment has reportedly spent Rs.150 crore during its shooting. Another Rs.40-50 crore is expected to be spent on its publicity leading up to its release this Diwali. The big question is whether it will garner profit when it hits the theatres. The fact is, it should do well at the box office for a few weeks to earn profit.
Well, Shahrukh seems to be confident as of now, and the leaked song of the film has already become a rage among the public. He had said that he did the film for his kids, who want him to fly. He has fulfilled his kids" dream. Now, what remains is the film"s fate at box office. All we can do is wait and watch!

Ouellet among Tide Paralympians in London
The rose pedal flames were extinguished in London two weeks ago, but similar international events will kick off on Wednesday. There will be plenty of names Alabama students should follow, starting with one of the most dominant wheelchair basketball players in the world: senior Cindy Ouellet.
Ouellet, who is currently in London, is among four players from the University of Alabama representing Canada in women's wheelchair basketball at the 2012 London Paralympic Games.
"I am really honored to be part of such of a great program," Ouellet said. "Having the opportunity to represent your country is a pretty unique experience."
Ouellet is no stranger to international competition. The Quebec City native also played in the 2008 Paralympic Games in Beijing and helped Team Canada win a bronze medal at the 2010 World Championships in Birmingham, England.
Brent Hardin, Ouellet's coach for three years at the University, said as soon as he laid eyes on the promising Canadian, he was sold immediately.
"I saw Cindy in Vancouver when I was recruiting her," he said. "You just go 'wow', because she's a really dynamic athlete. She's a great hard worker and a great competitor and has developed into a smart player."
Ouellet has been a vital piece to the Crimson Tide's success on the hardwood, as well. The three-time national champion had her best season during the 2011-12 season, averaging 18.8 PPG, eight RPG and eight assists per game.
Ouellet said she attributes much of her success for Team Canada to the mentorship and top-notch completion on her team.
"UA has such a good training environment," she said. "'That is why I moved down to Alabama because Canada does not have a wheelchair basketball program in university. UA training made me much stronger, as well, so my speed and agility is much better."
Hardin said when Ouellet arrived on campus three years ago, she was extremely fast, but still needed some fine-tuning.
"When she came, she was more known more for her speed," he said. "But she has developed into a team leader and an all-around player. Cindy is one of the best five players in the world and she won't come off the court much for Team Canada."
Ouellet said her experience in London has been pleasant so far, compared to previous games and each day is a part of her mental preparation process.
"Five days in now and Olympic Village has been really nice," she said. "The food is good, the training facilities are really nice and volunteers are really awesome. Things are going pretty smoothly so far, compared to other big games I have been in."
Along with other UA Paralympic athletes like Elisha Williams, Maude Jacques and Katie Harnock to join her on Team Canada, Ouellet said she will be joined by family and friends in London. She said hopes to take whatever experience she takes from London and bring it back to The University of Alabama after the flames are extinguished.
Hardin said he could not be more proud that so many athletes like Ouellet are not only representing their country, but The University of Alabama in the process.
"I think it is one of the bright lights of our university that we have so many people in London," he said, "and that they are proud to represent their countries and Alabama, as well."

My Problem
This macbook has been through many semesters of college, and was starting the second go around. The initial problem was that the bottom cover had many cracks and a piece broken out around the mag connector. Because of this, many arks and sparks happen while plugging into the charger and the battery would no longer indicate charging status. First part replaced was the original battery, (needed but no help). Macbook ran fine as long as it was plugged into the wall outlet. So I searched the web to try and find similar problems and solutions. The only one that came close to my failure was the replacement of the logic board. His only problem with this fix was that it only lasted about a week and failed again. I suspect that this person failed to adequately prep the heat sink pads and component with ArctiClean and create a good thermal connection with Arctic Silver Thermal Paste. So using your guide, I disassembled the Macbook and replaced the logic board. I also replaced the mag connector which actually could have been the only problem in the first place, but I had all the parts and just replace everything. Works great and my daughter believes I can fix anything.
My Fix
The repair went well. About 45 minutes to disassemble and about an hour to put it back together.
My Advice
Understand that the small connectors on the heat sink pull straight up, not out from the logic board. Maybe these had been very hot at one point, but were almost welded to the logic board connectors. Pulled the connectors off the pcb pads.

The Sims is a very complex game that took many many people to produce and a high budget. I am not saying that you will never be able to produce a game like that in the future, but right now you do not have the resources or skills to be able to produce that game successfully without frustrating yourself a great deal.
If you want to use Unity great... but take some time and learn how to use Unity. Try to make some simple games with it (such as pong). Programming and game development are skills that take a long time to learn.
You must be careful with "finding" artwork as many times you have to deal with licensing issues (which can involve paying money) and/or legal trouble if the assets were ripped from a game.

Consider that the The Sims 3 took about 3 years and about 400 people (I didn't count the exact number). That's roughly 1200 years of work by people experienced in the genre. The Sims 2 took about 4 years and about 300 people, or also roughly 1200 years of work by experienced developers. The Sims original took nearly 5 years and about 200 people, or roughly 1000 work years.
Even starting with Unity you are looking at a few hundred work-years before the game gets enough content to be fun. It would require significant amounts of modeling, art, animation, audio, and programming. Are you really able to make that kind of investment?
Start small. Much smaller than trying to mimic a AAA title.
Check out my book, Game Development with Unity, aimed at beginners who want to build fun games fast.
Also check out my personal website at bryanwagstaff.com, where I occasionally write about assorted stuff.

Are you really able to make that kind of investment?
Basically, it would boil down to a single game in about 12-15 rebirths. I don't think you'd be really happy about that.
Here's a better plan:
- Start smaller. Make smaller games. Get familiarised.
- Get that job. Become one of those 400 people.
- Make Sims 4 (all in this lifetime).

Private Facebook pages are not an employer's business
March 20, 2012 - Andrea Johnson
There is something indescribably creepy about an employer demanding that a job applicant hand over his Facebook login and password so the employer can snoop around on his page during a job interview or, even worse, requiring that an employee "friend" him on Facebook. Employers are also requiring that employees agree not to write anything disparaging about their boss or the company on Facebook.
This is going on all over the country, according to an Associated Press story that appeared this week, and some employees just aren't in a position to tell the boss just where he can put that requirement. People who badly need a job to support their families aren't going to say no, even to the most outrageous invasion of privacy imaginable. Employers in the story defended the practice, saying they're looking for evidence of inappropriate or illegal behavior or relationships. That's obviously not their business if it's on a Facebook page that's been set to 'private.' Anything the job applicant has on his page that can be viewed by all is probably fair game.
If anyone happens to glance at my Facebook page, they will see nothing special. My various Facebook connections post a lot of pictures of their cute kids, dogs and cats and complain about the annoyances of daily life. On the other hand, I'm fairly careful not to post anything that might offend the various people I know, many of whom have wildly differing political and religious beliefs. Some of my Facebook friends are not quite so careful and they really shouldn't have to be. Some things are private, especially when it's been set to private on Facebook, which has a policy forbidding people from logging into someone else's account. I do a periodic search for my name online to see what pops up and where my blog might have been mentioned. It's interesting to see people posting links to my blog on entertainment sites or discussion forums, agreeing or disagreeing with what I have said. Old stories I wrote five or 10 years ago and have forgotten about still exist on someone else's blog somewhere in cyberspace. Entertainers I interviewed and promptly forgot still use excerpts from the stories I did in their promotional materials. I don't much care for Twitter, but apparently a handful of people have Tweeted my stories. On Amazon.com, if you are so inclined, you can find a list of the reviews of books and movies I have done and click the "helpful" or "not helpful" button at your leisure. These are all based on things I have chosen to make public.
However, in a time when people socialize and conduct business online more than ever before, an employer requirement like this is utterly beyond the pale. It is a threat to privacy and will have a chilling effect on freedom of speech. A couple of states are looking at making it illegal for an employer to request an employee password. I hope it is made illegal in all 50 states.
It's long past time for other, stringent privacy protections to be put in place that will take into account social media as well as other technology. It should not escape anyone's notice how easy it is for marketers and companies to track a person's online search history or use the GPS in a cell phone to trace someone's movements. This is one of the reasons I use only a pre-paid cell phone that is basically untraceable. As for my Facebook account, the place that is solely about my private life, my password and login is officially off limits.

Voice: Brad Jacob, Fenton
The House and the Senate released details on a potential health care bill on June 10.
Three committees in the House, Ways and Means, Energy and Commerce and Education and Labor, produced a three-page outline explaining a health care proposal. An interesting excerpt for this proposal reads: "...The House Democratic plan would reorganize the private insurance market, creating a national Health Insurance Exchange where individuals or employers could obtain coverage, including from a government-run 'public plan,' if they wish. States would have the option of creating their own exchanges, instead of participating in the national exchange."
Could this create an environment in which the states could develop their own version of single-payer health care? Genesee County already has a version of this. It's called "The Genesee Health Plan." It is presently only offered to low-income persons. It works. It provides basic care to anyone who applies, and meets a criteria of need.
However, this could change with a statewide program that is supported through income or sales taxes - one that is provided to everyone.
And why not? At first glance, it may appear foolish due to the fear of the possible influx of low-income or unemployed people who would "rush" to our state to take advantage of such a system.
But, the other side of the coin, and I believe this to be entirely possible, would be the influx of employers (manufacturing and tech jobs) drawn by the attractiveness of a lower overhead. Would GM be in the same crisis if they did not have the added expense of health care coverage for all of its employees and retirees? How many companies have been forced to reduce or cut benefits in order to stay in business, let alone remain competitive?
If a national system of single-payer is not passed, the states could create their own system as an incentive to corporations that manufacture goods, to bring industry and jobs to their people. Competition is healthy. And this would further the cause for a national single-payer system. The states without a similar system would not be able to provide the same appeal to prospective employers.
More jobs equals more people who pay taxes and spend their paychecks on goods and services. More taxes, both income and sales, produced by these new jobs creates a healthier state. This would bring better roads, more police officers, and better services for those in need, including, but not limited to, assistance for higher education, which would in turn be a further benefit to prospective employers.
This is a win-win situation.

"My bag is missing," she told me, a catch in her throat and a look of absolute panic on her face. We had landed in the town of "Tree Toad Desert Bump," Australia, on a day that even the gila monsters needed shade and her bag was not on the luggage belt. The missing bag could be, literally, a death sentence. In the bag were medications that she needed to stay alive.
All prescriptions are important, but some more than others. For many travelers, it may only be a pill that stops a drippy nose. For others, it prevents Dr. Jekyll from becoming Mr. Hyde or worse. Regardless of the reason, never let those medications out of your control. Here is some handy advice to follow when traveling with medications or with a health condition that you have to monitor.
1. Don't put essential medications in a bag you check at any time, at any place and regardless of the guarantee of the airline. Some travelers are tempted to just carry a few extra doses with them and to check the bulk of the meds. Don't do it. Carry it all with you in hand luggage as if you will never see that checked bag again -- because you may really never see that checked bag again. Imagine yourself with only two days of meds in "Tree Toad." There is no CVS pharmacy, a doctor is available only on short wave radio and your best bet is the tribal witch doctor who wants to prescribe gila monster spit for your condition.
2. Keep the medications in their original containers, if possible. The local TSA agent may be less than sympathetic if he or she sees a collection of pills all jumbled together in a plastic bag. If the containers are too large or there are too many, have your pharmacist print prescription labels that explain what the pill is. Then you can put the pills in one of those containers that have the days printed on them so that you are sure you have taken your anti-Mr. Hyde meds.
3. While you are getting these labels -- make this request at least two weeks in advance to give the pharmacist time -- ask for a print out of your medications in generic or chemical terms. Each medication has its own chemical name: Motrin is ibuprofin, of course, but the brand name Motrin is often not known overseas. If the medications were lost, at least there might be a chance to refill them with this information. Unless you are in Tree Toad Desert Bump, of course.
4. Other conditions, such as hypoglycemia, can be managed usually without medication but the responsibility is still yours to be in control. If you know that you absolutely must eat at a certain time, then carry energy bars, sealed cheese or even beef jerky with you. Sometimes it is not possible to find a bite to eat exactly when you need it while traveling, so you must be prepared. Carry a plastic water bottle with you either to take the pills at the right time or just for hydration. The more you become self-reliant, the better off you will be.
The lady in Australia survived. The short-wave doctor contacted a local resident who was on the same medication. That resident kindly brought some of her prescription to the hotel which lasted until the airline located the missing bag that contained the traveler's meds. But the hours in between were tense and a bit frightening. We all knew Mr. Hyde was right around the corner.

PAULSBORO — Firefighters extinguished a raging fire that consumed a borough plow truck just outside a municipal garage early Thursday morning.
The garage is near the borough municipal complex on Delaware Street.
Paulsboro Fire Department Assistant Chief Gary Stevenson said the blaze was reported around 3:15 a.m. and was extinguished within about 15 minutes.
He said the truck had begun "smoking real bad" during the late-night snow cleanup. After the driver pulled it up to the garage, it caught fire, he said.
Stevenson explained the garage contains gasoline cans and other combustibles that could come into play, should that building catch fire itself. There are also gasoline pumps on the premises.
"Thank God the (driver) didn't park near the gasoline pumps," Stevenson remarked.
He added he wasn't able to stay on scene for investigation of the fire, but that the garage is not real close to other buildings.
It contained vehicles on which employees had been working, as well as the associated equipment. There are also offices in the same building.

Baton Rouge Police arrested the father of an 11-month-old girl who was fatally struck in the head, Cpl. L'Jean McKneely said Thursday. Larry Leflore, 26, was charged with first-degree murder and simple battery for the death of his daughter Aaliyah Heard.
Heard died from injuries of abuse on June 22 and was pronounced dead at Baton Rouge General.
Ashley Heard, Aaliyah's mother, was arrested Monday evening on suspicion of cruelty to a juvenile. As the investigation continues, more charges are possible, police said.
An autopsy found that Aaliyah died of blunt force closed head injuries. She also had various marks, bruises and abrasions, according to the East Baton Rouge Parish Coroner's Office. Some of the injuries were recent and others were in various stages of healing.
Leflore was transported and booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison.

I have to give the Xeric Foundation credit; they certainly know how to pick a comic. Each year, Xeric provides grants so comics creators can self-publish their work, and I have yet to come across a Xeric winner I haven't liked (Xeric winners reviewed here include Tyler Page's Nothing Better and Box Brown's Love is a Peculiar Type of Thing).
JT Yost's Old Man Winter and Other Sordid Tales is no exception to my Xeric love. This brief anthology consists of five stories that have little in common, save that they all show off Yost's remarkable talents as a visual storyteller. He is one of those rare creators who understands how much information can go into a single, deceptively uncomplicated panel and at the same time knows firmly what his stories are about. Take the titular tale "Old Man Winter." It chronicles the days and encounters of an elderly widower, but it's really about the small indignities that the old may suffer at the loneliest time in their lives -- at the hands of strangers, aquaintances, even their own family. It certainly asks us to rethink our own encounters, but Yost's hand is sympathetic rather than judgmental, rendering his aged protagonist with gentle affection, and demonstrating his quiet embarassment with understated expressions. Even the people who inflict these humiliations upon him are shown to suffer less from cruelty than a failure of empathy. It's a low-concept, high-execution endeavour that is surprisingly humanizing without ever feeling like its trying too hard.
There's a similar vein running through the other stories in this collection. Three of the remaining four deal with animal cruelty. One, "All Is Forgiven," peripherally references the contraversial rhesus monkey experiments of Harry Harlow. Another, "Roadtrip," has been used by vegan outreach groups. But even if this isn't your particular political bent (and, carnivore that I am, I can't say it's mine), they're still well worth the read, marvelously juxtaposing human pains (in the former) and pleasures (in the latter) with the suffering inflicted on animals by humans. "All Is Forgiven" is stronger as a classic short story, but "Roadtrip" is the more visually engaging of the pair. What's refreshing about "Roadtrip" is that it gets its point about the horrors of factory farming across without resorting to PETA's brand of grisly pornography, recognizing that anticipation and aftermath are often more powerful than action. The third of these stories, the not quite correctly titled "Running Away To the Circus/Running Away From the Circus," takes a similar tack, comparing the abuses that force young people and elephants to work the big top in a pair of parallel but opposite pages.
But it's the least flashy tale in the whole lot that gets me the most excited to read Yost's future work. "Logging Sanjay," which is sandwiched in the middle of the book, is an apparently autobiographical story about a childhood prank played on a friend's family. It's a straightforward, unpretentious anecdote that doesn't have the emotional power of "Old Man Winter," but offers hints of what a longer form piece from Yost would look like -- engaging, honest, and filled with mostly good-natured fun. That, combined with his more advanced visual prowess, is what's going to have me keeping an eye on Yost for what I expect will be many, many projects to come.
Old Man Winter and Other Sordid Tales will be available in August. In the meantime, you can check out the online preview or order it from Birdcage Bottom Books.

Hi Elle,
Thanks so much for your insightful review (and I'm not just saying that 'cause it's positive!).
I want to let retailers know that the book will be available to order from June's issue of Diamond's "Previews".

Is hepatitis C really an STD?
The short answer is yes: hepatitis C can be spread through sexual activity…specifically, unprotected vaginal, anal or oral sex when the blood, saliva, semen or vaginal secretions of an infected partner enter the body.
While there are no definitive statistics on how often the virus is transmitted through sex, there are certain factors that can increase your risk. Take the case of Alex, a 42-year-old male, who is infected with another STD…herpes. Alex also admits to having several sexual partners, including rough sex that sometimes results in broken skin and some bleeding. These are all risk factors that increase the chance of getting or transmitting hepatitis C.
Alex didn't think he was infected because he didn't have any symptoms. But when he tested positive for hepatitis C in a routine STD screening, he learned that most people infected with the virus are asymptomatic. Only 15-20% of people with acute (short-term) hepatitis C experience symptoms of fever, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting or abdominal pain within six months of exposure to the virus. Most people, like Alex, develop chronic (long-term) hepatitis C, meaning that the virus goes undiagnosed and untreated for many years or even decades…during that time, the virus silently and stealthily damages the liver which, in some cases, can lead to liver failure or liver cancer.
So if you think you might have been exposed to hepatitis C, don't take any chances. Get tested and treated right away to minimize damage to your liver.
In Alex's case, the effects of his chronic condition are now being closely monitored. While that's good news, the earlier hepatitis C is diagnosed, the more successfully it can be monitored or treated with antiviral medications that clear the virus from the body. And for anyone infected with hepatitis C, it's especially important to keep the body healthy…avoid alcohol and medications that may accelerate liver damage, and prevent others from having contact with your blood.

Keegan Bradley shot a 6-under par 65 to take the early first-round lead at the Deutsche Bank Championship on Friday.
The Woodstock native had six birdies and 12 pars on the TPC Boston course.
Bradley is trying to make a good impression on U.S. Ryder Cup captain Tom Watson, who said he'll announce his three captain's picks on Sept. 2 — the day after the Deutsche Bank Championship concludes Monday.
Bradley finished 13th in the Ryder Cup standings this year — four spots out of automatically qualifying. He made an impact in the 2012 Ryder Cup, going 3-1 in his matches.
"I really want to be on that team," said Bradley at his charity golf tournament in Woodstock on Monday. "It's a tough time to kind of sit and wait. I've got one more event and if I do well I'll be on the team. That's what I've got to go do."

Rutgers' fragile secondary faces further challenges when Temple visits on Saturday with two starters -- cornerback Anthony Cioffi and strong safety Lorenzo Waters -- making the injury report that was released today.
Both are listed as probable, as is reserve cornerback Jevon Tyree.
Cioffi has an upper body injury, Waters has an ankle injury and Tyree has a virus.
The unit is already shorthanded with starting corner Lew Toler out for the regular season with a broken arm, with starting corner Nadir Barnwell suspended for Saturday after being charged with DWI and careless driving on Sunday and following the decision by part-time starter Ian Thomas to abruptly quite the team two weeks ago.
Kickoff for Saturday's game is noon.
Rutgers' updated injury report for the Temple game (injury and status in parentheses):
OL Brandon Arcidiacono (shoulder, out)
FB Sam Bergen (ankle, out)
CB Anthony Cioffi (upper body, probable)
WR Jeff Gignac (hamstring, out)
CB Bryant Gross-Armiento (hamstring, out)
RB Paul James (lower leg, out)
DT Sebastian Joseph (ankle, out)
DT Kenneth Kirksey (tricep, out)
TE Taylor Marini (shoulder, out)
DE Julian Pinnix-Odrick (knee, out)
CB Lew Toler (arm, out)
CB Jevon Tyree (virus,probable)
SS Lorenzo Waters (ankle, probable)

Known for their pink plumage, corsets, and syncopated dance moves, the Pussyfooters also are recognized for mixing fun with giving back. On Saturday, Jan. 18, the group hosted its annual "Blush Ball: Party with a Purpose" to benefit the Metropolitan Center for Women and Children. A sea of pink Pussyfooters -- and quite a few costumed guests -- filled the Cannery, where they enjoyed music from Big Sam's Funky Nation, Big Chief Monk Boudreaux and the Wild Magnolias, DJ Quickie Mart, and of course, a performance by this all-female dance troupe, which was founded in 2001.
