Disney Purchases Lucasfilm Ltd. for $4.05 Billion USD, Episode VII Set for 2015 Release
Tiffany Kaiser

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Bob Iger and George Lucas
(Source: The Walt Disney Company)
Disney will make Episodes 7, 8 and 9 as well
"Star Wars" will be making its way back to the big screen now that The Walt Disney Company has acquired Lucasfilm Ltd. for $4.05 billion USD.
Disney said it is buying Lucasfilm Ltd. with cash and stock, and the deal includes Lucasfilm's high-tech production companies (Industrial Light & Magic and Skywalker Sound) and the rights to the "Indiana Jones" franchise.
Even though George Lucas, the creator of
"Star Wars"
and founder of Lucasfilm Ltd., said he was done making new versions of his mega popular epic space opera, he's going to allow Disney to bring "Star Wars" back to life.
Disney is currently working on a new "Star Wars" trilogy, beginning with "Episode 7." The new episode is due out in 2015, and Episodes 8 and 9 will shortly follow. According to Disney, the new trilogy will follow Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and Han Solo beyond "Return of the Jedi," which was the third film in the original trilogy (but is chronologically the sixth film in the franchise).
"For the past 35 years, one of my greatest pleasures has been to see 'Star Wars' passed from one generation to the next," said Lucas. "It's now time for me to pass 'Star Wars' on to a new generation of filmmakers. I've always believed that 'Star Wars' could live beyond me, and I thought it was important to set up the transition during my lifetime."
Kathleen Kennedy, the current co-chairman of Lucasfilm, will become the president of the unit. She will also be executive producer for the new trilogy.
Kennedy has been working with Lucas and a team of writers to discuss the storyline for "Episode 7." Kennedy said it's essential to have Lucas present as a key advisor during the making of the next trilogy, and she even referred to him as "her Yoda." Lucas has provided his story lines for the new trilogy.
"I always said I wasn't going to do any more and that's true, because I'm not going to do any more, but that doesn't mean I'm unwilling to turn it over to Kathy to do more," said Lucas.
Lucas has received quite a bit of criticism in the recent past due to his decisions involving "Star Wars." Despite creating the hugely popular original trilogy in the 1970s and 80s, he quickly became the bad guy when
the second trilogy
was released. Many fans disliked the new story line, which took place prior to the original trilogy. Fans also hated new characters, such as Jar Jar Binks.
To make matters worse, Lucas
changed some key details in the original trilogy
(such as the scene where Greedo takes the first shot at Han Solo in a bar) and released 3D versions of the movies earlier this year, marking Lucas as a "sell out."
"A lot of people pay zero for the cellphone ... That's what it's worth." -- Apple Chief Operating Officer Timothy Cook

IAJE Evening 1 - Goldberg Variations
January 10, 2008. Posted by Joshua Jackson.Add new comment | Filed under: aaron goldberg, bassist, cbc, christmas time, customs, drummer, finale, glenn gould studio, goldberg variations, harland, holiday music, holiday song, IAJE 2008, Jazz Alive, joshua, Live Music, mingus, mini clinic, newark, piano player, redman, s goldberg, taurus
Face it. You gotta be bold when you're a piano player, your last name is Goldberg, and you're playing in Toronto. More specifically, if you're Aaron Goldberg, and you're playing across the street from the CBC's Glenn Gould Studio, named after Toronto's famous son who OWNS Bach's Goldberg Variations. But I'm getting off topic.
The Aaron Goldberg Trio, with bassist Rueben Rogers and drummer Eric Harland, played some bold music. After opening with "Taurus" from the Sunnyside trio release, Worlds, Aaron called the quarterback option - his composition, "The Sound of Snow." It's from, of all things, the CD that accompanies the Baby Loves Jazz board book series. Specifically, from Mingus Mouse Christmas Time.
This is my favorite kind of holiday music - the kind where you can't tell it's a holiday song. Hear what I mean:
Aaron Goldberg Trio - The Sound of Snow
Eric Harland left his house at 6am. His flight from New York to Toronto was cancelled. Then he went to Newark. Then his flight was delayed. And delayed. So, He didn't get to Toronto until 6:30pm. The hit was 7pm at the Bassett Theater. Glad he made it thru customs!
Check out Eric's mini-clinic on "Shed," a song dedicated to Joshua "Shedroff" Redman.
And the last one was a burner.
More on the way. - Josh
IAJE Day 1 - Heritage for Tomorrow

Posted by Joshua Jackson.Add new comment | Filed under: aaron goldberg, bob brookmeyer, clifford brown, conservatoire national superieur, conservatoire national superieur de musique, erik satie, french composer, harland, IAJE 2008, ingrid jensen, jerome kern, lionel loueke, new york voices, paquito d rivera, paris conservatory, pianist erik, reuben rogers, special session, stan getz, three songs, young musicians
Heritage for Tomorrow is a quartet from the Paris Conservatory (or, officially, the Conservatoire National Superieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris...ahh, the French...). They are led by the bassist Riccardo del Fra.
The quartet performed three songs during the IAJE Special Session earlier today. I had not heard of the three young musicians who joined del Fra onstage, but I was impressed.
Here's the first song they played together.
Heritage for Tomorrow - Song One
They also played a Bob Brookmeyer composition, a nod to the French composer and pianist, Erik Satie.
Heritage for Tomorrow - Erik Satie
Finally, the quartet performed a thoroughly modern reading of "I'm Old Fashioned." I'm not sure Jerome Kern would recognize it. I barely could.
Heritage for Tomorrow - I'm Old Fashioned
That's it for today's early events. Tonight, I'm checking out shows from the Aaron Goldberg Trio with Reuben Rogers and Eric Harland, the Clifford Brown/Stan Getz All-Stars, New York Voices with Paquito D'Rivera, Lionel Loueke, and Ingrid Jensen's band, Nordic Connect. Come back soon for that. - Josh

What the World's Largest Sovereign Wealth Fund Will Buy Soon
Checking with Investopedia I reacquainted myself with the correct answer. A sovereign wealth fund is "a pool of money derived from a country's reserves, which are set aside for investment purposes that will benefit the country's economy and citizens.
"The funding for a sovereign wealth fund (SWF) comes from central bank reserves that accumulate as a result of budget and trade surpluses, and even from revenue generated from the exports of natural resources."
The nation with the world's largest SWF ($682 billion), built from its vast oil and natural gas resources, is Norway. The Norwegian Government Pension Fund Global , which is managed by Norges Bank Investment Management is ready to go on a specifically targeted shopping spree with Norway's SWF money.
What is it targeting for investment purposes? American real estate in areas of the country the SWF believes are the best markets. According to a recent article in Monday's Wall Street Journal , Norway's SWF "...has been in talks about deals with potential real-estate partners in New York, Washington and Boston in recent months."
The NBIM's real-estate chief investment officer said recently the fund may begin working on its first U.S. deal as early as the first quarter of 2013. He also mentioned the focus would probably be on either high-end retail or U.S. office space. Prices in this kind of real estate have already soared.
According to the Journal, "Market participants, however, say Norway's appetite for high-priced properties and its long-term horizon for returns could help it find success in the world's biggest property market, " the U.S. Even though prices are high now, past strategies like this have paid off in the past.
FUR frequently invests in large real estate transactions but hasn't worked with NBIM yet. Winthrop is currently paying a dividend with a yield to price of around 6%. Its share price has ranged from $10.32 to as high as $11.40 since Oct. 15. Below is a one-year price chart with its improving free cash flow.
FUR data by YCharts
FUR's generous dividend represents a payout ratio of 250% of the company's earnings (or "funds-from-operation" as they call it in the world of REITs), which is quite lofty. Winthrop trades at a forward (one-year) PE ratio of only 9.

A possible deal between Syria and Israel will neither change Iran's current posture in the region, nor lead Syria to put aside easily its alliance with Iran. Beyond tackling the U.S. and Israel military threat in this particular time of insecurity, especially in post-invasion Iraq, the Iran-Syria alliance in post-invasion Iraq is aimed at achieving a more strategic goal: making a new coalition of friendly states and political factions, a way out of the current political-security status-quo in the Persian Gulf and the Levant in which the two states can secure their national interests. As long as this need exists, the Iran-Syria alliance will continue.
From Iran's perspective, the current black and white order that divides the region into friends and enemies, and presents Iran and Syria as the region's primary threats, is disproportionate and should be redressed. Such an order takes Iran's diplomatic and military energy and brings distrust and tension among the regional countries; it is more for serving U.S. national interests, its traditional Arab allies and Israel.
Iran and Syria are convinced that the Bush administration is not prepared to genuinely engage the two states in their own immediate security backyard. In case of Iraq, the administration rather aims to only benefit from Iran's role for daily security matters, whereas Iran aims to talk on the future security and strategic issues. This is the same for Syria. The main conflict is therefore based on how the new political-security order of the region should be redefined so that these two countries could also see their interests secured. In this way, Iran and Syria are aware of the fact that they must count only on each other.
The new political developments in post-invasion Iraq have empowered Iran-Syria alliance; they have been a turning point in terms of forming a new political-security order in the region. From a geostrategic point of view, Iran and Syria belong to two different but interdependent political-security systems: the Persian Gulf and the Levant. The new Iraq is the new point of convergence between these two regions and the place of building a new strategic depth for the two actors. Through Iran, Syria will reach to the Persian Gulf region, a place of great economic- political importance for the Arab world, the United States, and even Israel. Likewise, Iran through Iraq and then Syria can reach the Mediterranean shore, the focus of Arab-Israeli conflict. Iran's regional ally, Hezbollah, depends upon that region, and it is also a place of great significance for the U.S. Middle East policy.
Since the Iraqi crisis, choosing either between its neighbors and outside powers or trying to get all relevant actors to cooperate in bringing security in Iraq has been a challenge for the Iraqi government. Although Iraq's leaders have rightly picked the latter, U.S. policy persists in not genuinely involving Iran and Syria in the new Iraq, because from the administration's perspective, it totally contradicts the United States' national interests in the region. The administration policy is mainly based on destroying, and not cooperating with, so-called adversaries.
The Iran-Syria alliance in post-invasion Iraq is based on their efforts to redefine the political-security architecture of the region. Iran and Syria are two solid nation-states with national and strategic security concerns. The new situations have brought about both opportunities and challenges. As long as the U.S. policy of denying Iran and Syria from the region's political-security architecture continues, it is unlikely that Iran-Syria alliance will be put aside. With the Iraqi crisis and the rise to power of the Shiite factions in the region, the nature of power and politics in the Levant and the Persian Gulf region has changed and become more interdependent. Iran has the key role in the both regions. Iran has also simultaneous access to Afghanistan and Pakistan and the Caucasus, where possible Russian involvement, as the case of Georgia has recently demonstrated, can also empower such alliance. Syria is unlikely to lose Iran, a source of security, logistical and financial support, especially not in the course of the region's transformation to a new political-security order.

There are many IDEs on the market for dynamic programming languages such as PHP, Perl, and Ruby. I personally have tried several of them, ranging from such heavyweights as Eclipse to little-known IDEs that lack features but not idiosyncrasies.
This article reviews one of the most respected IDEs available, ActiveState's Komodo. As of this writing, the current version of Komodo is 3.5.3. Komodo is available for Linux (Debian/Ubuntu 5.04+, Red Hat/Fedora 3+, and SuSE 9.0+), Mac OS X (10.4 and 10.3), Solaris (8+), and Windows (XP, 2000, NT 4.0, ME, and 98).
Within each platform category, there are two different editions of Komodo: Personal and Professional. The former is for personal and educational use, while the latter is for corporate and commercial use, and has additional features to support professional and team development, including source code control, GUI building, and package management. Furthermore, the Professional edition's licensing fees of $295 are an order of magnitude higher than those of the Personal edition, at $29.95. ActiveState licenses allow you to use a licensed product on all supported platforms.
Komodo recognizes over 30 languages and boasts especially powerful support for Perl, PHP (including 5.1), Python, Ruby, Tcl, and XSLT. In fact, it has fully integrated Ruby support, including debugging, code intelligence (including Code Browser support, Object Browser support, AutoComplete, and CallTips), an interactive shell, syntax checking, syntax highlighting, and code folding. In this latest version, the graphical debugger now supports Ruby on Rails.
Komodo's built-in editor offers features that experienced coders have come to expect of modern programmer's editors: multidocument editing with tabs, syntax highlighting, stream and block selection, multiple undo and redo, smart-indenting and outdenting, incremental and cross-document search, code-folding (collapsing and expanding blocks), split view, keystroke repetition, recordable macros, code block commenting, and text joining and reflowing. Komodo's syntax capabilities are excellent; they include syntax highlighting with color and syntax checking. This instant visual feedback invariably saves time and reduces bugs. Komodo offers syntax highlighting for over 30 languages. Also, the syntax colors are fully customizable (via Edit > Preferences, not the more standard Tools > Options).
Like the better non-IDE programmer's editors, Komodo has extra features, such as code completion ("AutoComplete"), display of language and user-defined function parameter lists ("CallTips"), Emacs-like key binding, and optional removal of whitespace on line endings.
Programmers spend a lot of time searching and replacing text within code. Thus, an IDE's search-and-replace capabilities are of paramount importance. In this regard, Komodo is more than adequate, though not stellar. It allows regular expressions in text searching, including the use of found text dynamically within the replacement string. It is not documented, but uses the standard Python and Perl syntax of grouping using parentheses and replacement strings identified as
$2, etc.
Komodo allows searching within directory trees. The menu item is Edit > Find in Files, which I did not even notice at first, being accustomed to having it as part of a single search-and-replace dialog. One nice feature, which I have not seen elsewhere, is the ability to exclude files from searching. This includes wildcard support.
For programmers who find themselves pasting the same type of code frequently, Komodo's code snippets capability should prove quite handy. It allows you to store any piece of code for later reuse. On the other hand, you should use large snippets judiciously, as any copying and pasting should first alert the wise programmer to perhaps modularize that code in a separate function--true reuse.
Developers creating code for applications and websites intended for an international audience will appreciate Komodo's multilingual Input Method Editor (IME) support, which allows standard keyboard codes to enter complex multibyte characters and symbols for French, German, and Spanish, as well as Asian languages.
If the features discussed above were all that Komodo offered, then a top-of-the-line programmer's editor such as jEdit would suffice. Perhaps the first capability that attracts a new developer to any IDE is the debugger, which beats endless
Komodo's graphical debugger has all the standard debugging capabilities: breakpoints; stepping in, over, or out of a function; watched variables; display of the call stack; and display of terminal output. You can modify variables midstream in a debugging session. You can disable a breakpoint without deleting it, which saves time when later trying to remember the optimal locations of unneeded breakpoints. One terrific feature is that Komodo presents complex watched variables in an intuitive tree format. It also allows you to expand arrays and hashes, nesting individual parts of those structures.
The IDE also has some features that are more appropriate for advanced programming scenarios and special cases, such as remote debugging and multisession debugging, or simultaneously debugging multiple applications in multiple languages--scenarios that are beyond the scope of this review.
As the original versions aimed at PHP and Perl programmers, Komodo has full CGI emulation, which allows you to control the environment seen by the CGI script running locally in a web server on your machine. Unfortunately, by default, every Debug run causes the "Debugging Options" dialog box to appear, even if you do not want to change any of the debugging options for that run. Fortunately, you can bypass this in Linux and Windows by holding down the Ctrl key. Bypass it automatically by changing your preferences.
To get PHP CGI emulation to work, you must disable
force-cgi-redirect by setting
cgi.force_redirect to
0 in Komodo's php.ini. Otherwise, Komodo can report the error "Security Alert! The PHP CGI cannot be accessed directly. This PHP CGI binary was compiled with force-cgi-redirect enabled. This means that a page will only be served up if the REDIRECT_STATUS CGI variable is set, e.g., via an Apache Action directive." After updating php.ini, test it by running a PHP script with "Simulate CGI Environment" (in the "Debugging Options" dialog box) checked.
Somewhat related, when I tried to run the PHP tutorial script (php_tutorial.kpf), I received the error "Please correct your interpreter selection in preferences," even though I had it set correctly to the appropriate PHP executable. (Think of it as a holdover from Windows' Ctrl+Alt+Del...) Apparently Komodo version 3.5.3 will remove the need to restart the application.
An essential part of any sizable software development project is controlling the code, in the form of organizing it well, easily seeing its structure, and being able to store and track revisions to that code. Komodo makes it possible to do all of this without leaving the IDE, as it has built-in browsing of projects, code, and objects, as well as hooks to version control systems.
In the upper-lefthand corner of the IDE, a "Project" tab displays all open projects with their constituent files. Double-clicking on any listed file opens it in the righthand pane. Some IDEs that I have tried and abandoned make it difficult to import existing files' trees as a new project within the IDE. It's as if their designers refuse to consider that programmers may have already done some coding before choosing that IDE. Komodo instead offers a much-appreciated "Import from File System" feature that can quickly make existing code efforts visible within Komodo.
The other tab in the upper-lefthand corner, labeled "Code," allows browsing of the source structure within the code files. For PHP projects, it displays included and required files, global variables, and function names, as well as objects, if any. For Perl projects, it displays modules, too. These clickable lists provide a fast way to jump around the code. Sadly, there is a lack of coordination between the Code browser and the other panes. Clicking on a different source file tab in the righthand pane should show that code in the Code browser pane as well, but it doesn't. Even opening a new project doesn't change the Code browser's contents. That is because the Code browser in the current version is not aware of projects, and only shows files opened in the editor. Apparently that is an enhancement slated for the future.
Unlike the browsing of projects and source files, object browsing requires the use of the Tools > Object Browser menu, which seems nonintuitive to me. It would be better if it were located as a third tab in the upper lefthand corner.
The Professional edition of Komodo facilitates source code revisioning by allowing the user to perform all conventional versioning tasks (check-in, check-out, and differences) using several popular code version control systems: CVS, Perforce, and now, with version 3.1, Subversion. Komodo can monitor the repositories and their files, so as to indicate any changes from other users. It is also possible to set up a remote CVS repository and interact with it securely via SSH.
Komodo has more capabilities than a single article can explore in depth. I would be remiss to not mention some of them. One real boon is the built-in browser, which allows previewing of HTML, XML, and CSS files, and can thereby save considerable time and frustration from switching back and forth from CGI source code to a web browser to see the results.
Regular expressions (regexes) are a powerful tool in the hands of a skilled programmer, and particularly useful when performing text processing. Perl and PHP both provide solid support for regexes, and Komodo, in like spirit, does the same. In addition to regexes in search-and-replace, as noted earlier, Komodo has a utility that allows you to try various regexes to see how (or if) they match. There are several match type modes: Match, Match All, Split, Replace, and Replace All. In addition, there are modifiers, including case insensitivity. Unfortunately, ActiveState should have named this utility the "Regex Toolkit," but instead chose "Rx Toolkit," which makes it sound like a doctor's medicine bag or a pharmacist's toolkit. To make matters worse, the application's icon is a mortar and pestle--the only instance in the product that I saw of cuteness chosen over clarity.
Komodo features a Visual Package Manager, a web-based management system for installed Perl modules. It is only available in Komodo's Professional edition, as are the Toolbox (a team-shareable storage area for commands, macros, code snippets, etc.) and the ActiveState GUI Builder (for making Tk-based GUI dialogs). For significant application development with a team, integrated source code revisioning alone should make the Professional edition worth the extra cost, but these additional tools would be icing on the cake.
Like most programming tools nowadays, Komodo offers product support in the form of online documentation in HTML and PDF formats, bug tracking, and cookbooks (code collections), in addition to an ActiveState Programmer Network (ASPN).
The online documentation for Komodo is extensive and indexed, with full-text searching. F1 brings up the locally installed "Komodo User Guide." This is a HTML guide of 26 sections ranging from a welcome page to a reference manual. If there is any highlighted text in the current script, pressing Shift + F1 searches the PHP function list for the highlighted string (if the script is PHP), or Googles the highlighted string within www.perldoc.com (if the script is Perl). Ctrl + F1 searches all of Google, regardless of the script's language.
Komodo's user guide contains tutorials on Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, Tcl, and XSLT--bracketed by a "Feature Showcase" tutorial with 21 subsections explaining many valuables techniques, and a "Run Command Tutorial."
The user guide has a lot of information. The HTML pages use frames, with the lefthand panel used for navigation and the righthand panel displaying contents. It starts with "Welcome to Komodo 3.5.3." Be careful, because if you use your browser's ability to go back to previous pages, and you returned to the welcome page, then the lefthand panel's links no longer work. Also, the fonts and other styling is broken, suggesting that the frame is no longer seeing its intended stylesheet.
If and when the user guide fails to guide the user to an answer, she should next try the ASPN mentioned above. It offers links to dozens of mailing-lists archives, as well as user groups for ActiveState, Perl, PHP, Python, Tcl, .NET Framework, open source, XML and XSLT, and web services. It also has FAQs, tutorials, cookbooks (code recipes), and a bug-tracking system (Bugzilla), as well as documentation for most of those languages, regular expressions, and ActiveState's other programming tools.
Overall, Komodo is a capable and impressive IDE that is well suited for programmers hoping to harness the power of assisted editing, graphical debugging, project versioning and management, and the other tasks essential to developing software in PHP or Perl. However, there are still some shortcomings that I'd like to see future versions address to make Komodo even more attractive than its strongest competitors, such as Eclipse.
ActiveState's Komodo site has links for downloading fully functional editions of Komodo, with free 21-day trial periods. There is also information on upgrade pricing, screenshots, feature lists, release notes, install notes, and other documentation.

The newest member of the Craver household decided to enter this world on Election Day.
If you're wondering why I was missing in action on Nov. 6, I can explain with a picture that speaks a thousand words.
This is Grace, my little girl. For whatever reason, she decided to be born a month early, about two hours after the polls opened.
Maybe she wanted to vote – I didn't get around to the 26th Amendment in her in utero reading. Maybe she didn't want to miss all those wonderful negative campaign ads – she came into this world, no kidding, to those Bill Foster/Judy Biggert/Tammy Duckworth/Joe Walsh ads on the flat-screen TV in the birthing room.
Maybe she didn't want to miss Fox News' spectacular meltdown Tuesday evening.
I'll ask her when she's old enough to talk. Right now, her skill sets are limited to eating every three hours and filling diapers. And I'm the happiest guy on the planet.
And when I embarrass her by cleaning my rifles and putting the fear of God into the first boy who takes her out on a date, I'll be even with the little stinker.
By the way, kid, you're not dating until you're at least 30.

Next Toyota Corolla hides under flashy concept
Corolla Furia previews new compact sedan
There's no doubt the Corolla compact sedan is a big part of Toyota's sales strategy, and on Monday, the company showed off a concept hinting at what the next generation of Corolla will look like.
The concept is the Corolla Furia and it debuted at the 2013 North American International Auto Show. Under the bright paint and behind the concept-only headlights, you're looking at the next Corolla, which will likely be a 2014 model car.
"The Corolla Furia Concept is an early indicator of where our compact car design may lead in the future," said Bill Fay, group vice president and general manager of the Toyota Division. "It blends a heightened emphasis on dramatic design and modern elements of high technology to generate curb appeal that will surprise a lot of people."
Though the concept is only 2 inches longer than the current Corolla, the wheelbase is 4 inches longer, which is bound to improve the ride and rear-seat legroom.
Cool touches like the carbon fiber accents and huge 19-inch wheels will likely not make it into the next production Corolla. However, the overall shape is something you will likely see in Toyota dealerships in the near future.

Federal jury to hear case against ex-BP engineerAP FILE Photo
In this April 24, 2012, file photo, former BP engineer Kurt Mix leaves the federal courthouse after a hearing in Houston. A jury is set to hear the Justice Departmentís case against the BP engineer charged with deleting text messages and voicemails about the companyís response to its massive 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Jury selection for Mixís federal trial is scheduled to start Monday, Dec. 2, 2013 in New Orleans. Mix is one of four current or former BP employees charged with crimes related to the deadly disaster or its aftermath. His case is the first to be tried.
NEW ORLEANS Jury selection began Monday for the Justice Departments case against a former BP drilling engineer charged with deleting text messages and voicemails about the companys response to its massive 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Dozens of potential jurors filled a New Orleans courtroom for the start of Kurt Mixs federal trial, which is expected to last up to three weeks.
Mix, 52, of Katy, Texas, was indicted last year on two counts of obstruction of justice. Prosecutors claim he deliberately deleted strings of text messages to and from a supervisor and a BP PLC contractor to hamper a grand jurys investigation of the spill.
Mix is one of four current or former BP employees charged with crimes related to the nations worst offshore oil spill. His case is the first to be tried.
The charges against Mix arent related to any of the events leading up the April 2010 blowout of BPs Macondo well, which triggered an explosion that killed 11 workers on the Deepwater Horizon rig.
Mix was part of a team of experts who scrambled to seal the well, which spewed millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf. Mix, who worked on BPs unsuccessful attempt to stop the gusher using a technique called top kill, had access to internal data about the amount of oil flowing from the well.
On May 26, 2010, the day the top kill began, Mix estimated in a text to a supervisor that more than 630,000 gallons of oil per day were spilling three times BPs public estimate of 210,000 gallons and a rate far greater than what the company said top kill could handle.
BP repeatedly notified Mix that he was obligated to preserve all of his spill-related records. But the indictment says he deleted a string of text messages to and from the supervisor, Jonathan Sprague, from his iPhone on Oct. 4, 2010.
Mix also allegedly deleted a string of text messages he exchanged with a BP contractor named Wilson Arabie in August 2011, several weeks after federal authorities issued a subpoena to BP for copies of some of Mixs correspondence.
In a court filing, Mixs lawyers said the deleted messages were predominantly and arguably entirely innocuous and insignificant in substance.
And in the lone text message directly referencing the Macondo Incident (Yup, but taking another spanking), Mix merely acknowledged what was already well known to government officials, the press corps, and millions of Americans watching CNN at the time: namely, that the ongoing top kill effort did not appear to be staunching the flow of oil from the Macondo Well, the defense attorneys wrote.
The indictment also accuses Mix of deleting one voicemail from Arabie, one voicemail from the supervisor and one voicemail from an unidentified caller that went through BPs general switchboard.
Each count of obstruction of justice carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.

Since 1998, he has done just about everything at Le Guignol. For the last eight years, Travis Sutton, known here simply as "Chef Ala," has owned this quaint and cozy French eatery across Thomas Square.
"I'm not going to lie, small business running in Hawaii is hard, you know, with the economy and everything," said Sutton.
Sutton says balancing work and family is even harder.
"I think it's time for a change and time to be with my family more for a little while," said Sutton.
Not like he hasn't been surrounded by family at the restaurant. For years, his late mother served as hostess. His father is usually in the kitchen and he used to work with his brother, the bistro's previous owner.
"My mom is my first love, with my dad and then my wife is my second love, my kids and then cooking's my third love," said Sutton.
It's a combination that been serving up success.
"Family, home feel and the quality of the background of the chef and that you can bring your own wine," said Le Guignol regular Geoffrey Michaelson.
"We have dinner before the concerts at the Blaisdell Concert Hall and other special times we've brought a lot of guests here," said Le Guignol regular Kathie Wells. "It's a really special place to us. We're really going to miss it."
As far as Sutton's future, he says he has things in the works, but nothing concrete other than the fact that it will involve cooking.
"I've been pretty much non-stop pretty much for half my life, so I can't take too long of a vacation" said Sutton.
The restaurant is no longer taking any reservations or walk-ins.
April 30 is Le Guignol's final night in business.
You can still enjoy Chef Ala's food by emailing him at firstname.lastname@example.com. He is staying in the catering business and is even willing to cook at your home.

Documentation-tool (157)
- AdaDoc
- AdaDoc is a tool for Ada 95 developers. It creates an HTML file from a package specification for documentation purposes.
- Antiword
- Antiword is a free MS-Word reader for GNU/Linux, RISC OS, and DOS. It converts the documents from Word 2, 6, 7, 97, 2000, 2002, and 2003 to text, Postscript, and XML/DocBook. Antiword tries to keep the layout of the document intact.
- Apache OpenOffice
- Apache OpenOffice, also known as "OpenOffice", is a free, office-document productivity suite providing six applications (Writer, Calc, Impress, Base, Draw and Math) based around ODF, the OpenDocument Format. OpenOffice is released on multiple platforms (GNU/Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, Solaris) and in dozens of languages.
- AsciiDoc
- AsciiDoc is a text document format for writing short documents, articles, books and UNIX man pages. AsciiDoc files can be translated to HTML and DocBook markups using the asciidoc(1) command. AsciiDoc is highly configurable: both the AsciiDoc source file syntax and the backend output markups (which can be almost any type of SGML/XML markup) can be customized and extended by the user.
- AsmRef
- 'AsmRef' includes a menu system and search function to display data on the Linux kernel and most topics associated with x86 assembler development on GNU/Linux systems.
- Auctex
- AUCTeX is a package for writing and formatting TeX files in GNU Emacs and XEmacs. It supports various TeX macro packages including AMS-TeX, LaTeX, Texinfo, ConTeXt, and docTeX (short for writing LaTeX packages with the doc style or the ltxdoc class). AUC TeX lets you run TeX/LaTeX and other LaTeX-related tools, such as a output filters or post processor, from inside Emacs. You can browse through the errors TeX reported, while it moves the cursor directly to the reported error, and displays some documentation for that particular error. This works even if the document is spread over several files. AUCTeX automatically indents your `LaTeX-source', not only as you write it -- you can also let it indent and format an entire document. It has a special outline feature, which helps you to get an overview of a document. It also provides a large range of Emacs macros.
- AutoConvert
- AutoConvert is an intelligent Chinese Encoding converter. It uses built-in functions to judge the type of the input file's Chinese Encoding (such as GB/Big5/HZ), then converts the input file to any type of Chinese Encoding you want. You can use autoconvert to automatically convert incoming e-mail messages. It can also optionally handle the UNI/UTF7/UTF8 encoding.
- BHL is an Emacs mode that lets you convert plain TXT files into HTML, LaTeX, and SGML (Linuxdoc) files. The BHL mode handles common font-styles, three levels of sections, footnotes, and any kind of lists, tables, URLs and horizontal rules. It also handles a table of contents: you can browse the toc, insert the toc where you want, and update the sections' numbers with one keystroke.
- Bib2xhtml
- 'bib2xhtml' is a program that converts BibTeX files into HTML (specifically, XHTML 1.0). The conversion is mostly done by specialized BibTeX style files, derived from a converted bibliography style template. This ensures that the original BibTeX styles are faithfully reproduced. Some post-processing is performed by Perl code. This is an update of the bib2html program written by David Hull in 1996 and maintained by him until 1998.
- Booktype
- Booktype is a free, open source platform that produces beautiful, engaging books formatted for print, iBooks and almost any ereader within minutes. It makes it easier for people and organisations to collate, organise, edit and publish books.

A 3-year-old girl was found alive after spending 11 days lost in a Siberian forest.
The girl survived by eating wild berries and drinking river water. She also has the family dog to thank for her survival, according to the Siberian Times.
The dog stayed by the girl's side the entire time, only leaving her to finally summon help.
Karina Chikitova wandered away from her home in a remote village of the Sakha Republic on July 29. Her mother thinks Karina and the dog followed her father, who had left to go to his native village, according to the Daily Mail.
The area is one of the coldest on Earth, though temperatures were about 42 degrees overnight this time of year.
Karina stayed warm by hugging her dog and making "beds" in tall grasses, according to rescue crews.
Outside of a lot of bug bites and some scratches to her feet, Karina is doing amazingly well and suffered no serious injuries.
Watch video of her rescue below, or by tapping here (the moment she's found starts around the 3:05 mark):

Aglaonema Siam Aurora, Aglaonema Lipstick, Chinese Evergreen (Red) - Plant
( 89 times booked in last 90 days )
( 20% guaranteed cashback )
Check detail here >>
-High Quality 8 inch Plastic Pot with each plant.
-Offer Valid on orders with 3 or more Plants
There are many hybrid varieties of the Chinese evergreen available which have been cultivated over the last century. This is because of their increasing popularity for indoor growers to use them as ornamental plants for room decoration.
Common name: Chinese evergreen
Color: The plant do not have distinguished flower and the plant displays Red texture
Height: 8 inches to 4 ft
Difficulty level: Easy
Planting & Care
Because of their high humidity requirements, some growers consider aglaonema to be greenhouse plants. It s true they will do best in the warm, humid and bright environment of a greenhouse, but they can successfully be grown indoors by coming as close as possible to these conditions.
The number one rule to remember with aglaonema is this: keep them warm and moist. If you do this, you ll be rewarded with a long-lasting, stable house plant that will not soon outgrow its pot.
Sunlight: Near shade to partial sun.
Soil: A well-drained potting soil is perfect.
Water: Water thoroughly in the summer, and mist often to raise humidity. During the winter, reduce watering but do not let the plant dry completely. Seek to raise humidity in general.
Temprature: They do not like cold drafts or temperatures below 65ºF. The warmer, the better.
Fertilizer: Slow-release pellets or liquid fertilizer during the growing season.
- They are slow growing and will only need repotting every other year.
- Aglaonema are generally low-growing plants that will only very gradually reveal their trunks.
- Aglaonema is prone to stem rot and root rot if over-watered.
- This is especially true if your Aglaonema is in low light.
- The light your plant receives is the biggest factor in determining the watering of your Aglaonema.
Ornamental use:
- Perhaps one of the greatest benefits of aglaonema is the fact this plant can be planted in pots and places outdoors to give a tropical look to your garden in summer and decorate your indoor space in winter.

Thank you to Lisa at The Accidental Genealogist for the great Fearless Females prompts for the month of March. Prompt # 16: If you could have lunch with any female family member (living or dead) or any famous female who would it be and why? Where would you go? What would you eat?
Dreamworld is a wonderful place, between here and there. A world where all things are possible .....
"Who's that a'bangin' on mi door?"
"T''is me, Grandma Mary," says I, as it is just too much to say Great-great-grandma Mary, even in a dream. "Joannie, your Jim's great granddaughter."
"Come in, dearie, and sit a spell. I was just getting ready to have a bowl of soup."
Oh, my, I dinna mean to impose ..."
"No trouble at all, there's always enough for one more at my table."
I enter through the rough hewn door of the log cabin. (It must be around 1855 or so, certainly before the frame house was built in 1862.) Grandma Mary, shoos 5-year old Annie, and 3-year old Lizzie away from the table where they were practicing their letters, and deftly hooks wee Mary Jane under her arm as she clears a place for her and me at the table. The pot of soup is simmering over the fire in the huge rock fireplace. I offer to hold little Mary Jane (it doesn't seem strange at all to be holding my great-great aunt). Mary has placed heavy crockery bowls of steaming vegetable and beef soup (actually more of a stew than a soup) and a plate of her Scotch shortbread before us and tells Annie to go to the cold spring house for some nice cold milk.
"Dearie, now tell me why you have come all this way to see me and my wee ones?"
She is so direct. No small talk, but then she has a lot to do, what with taking care of 6 children under 12 --- and it looks as though the seventh will soon be joining the brood -- and she sews and knits for extra money. So as to not to take up her valuable time, I start right in.
"Grandma Mary, I've puzzled for years about how your name your children."
"Shouldna be any puzzle about that. Billy is named William Burns McPherson for his grandpa, my father William Gibson Burns. Now Jabe is named Jabez Burns McPherson for .."
"Oh, I know that one, he is named for your brother, Jabez Burns, who was named after his uncle, the famous Baptist minster."
"Ah, for a young one, you do know your history. Now Jim, your great grandpa, carries the name James Burns McPherson. His father is James. Now do you know the of history of that name, young lady?"
I was ready to show off. "Yes, indeed, I do. Your husband James Peter was named James for his maternal uncle James Spink and his father Peter McPherson." I was on a roll here. Now to get down to the real questions.
"Grandma Mary, I understand about the naming of the boys, but what about the girls' names?"
"Well, my dear, what about them?"
"I know that you named this cute little Elizabeth after her grandmothers, Elizabeth Spink McPherson and your mother Elizabeth Herrick Burns --- and baby Mary Jane carries your name, but what about Annie ---and ..."
I hesitate here. Is it okay in a dream to tell my Great-great grandma about children she is yet to have? Well, sure, it's a dream, you know.
"Grandma Mary, I know that names are important to you. So who is Annie, Ann Adamson McPherson, named for --- and the wee one who will be soon born, she will be named Jessie Stewart McPherson, and then there will be Emma Ellen, Harriet, and the last of your babes, Margaret --- who are they named for?
"I'm thinking that Jessie might be the name of your sister or a dear cousin, but Stewart and Adamson --- I don't know those names.
"Please, Grandma Mary, please tell who are these people of your past that are so important as to carry on their names with your children?"
"Now, now, don't get yourself in a fret. Have a cup of coffee and I will tell youuuuuuu --- "
Drat, Colldubh, my black shepherd, thrusts his cold nose into my ear and nudges me awake. Five o'clock and he wants out -- now. Drat.

Had me there~~~
what a great story! To be continued I hope?ReplyDelete
I loved this! I hope that in your dreams she whispers the answer to you. I have a couple of what seem to be surnames, used as middle names, that perplex me. I did track down one and it was the name of a business associate of his father! I'm hoping the others will lead me somewhere back further in time.ReplyDelete
Waaahh!!! Doggie!! You could have peed on the kitchen floor just this once!!ReplyDelete
Great story, what a wonderful, creative approach. You are an inspiration.ReplyDelete

Morning Joe: Why Are These Liberals So Darned Angry?
Simply because they're liberals, Joe
(Daily Caller) On his Monday broadcast, MSNBC "Morning Joe" host attempted to understand a phenomenon that not only plagues his network's primetime lineup, but apparently his Twitter account as well: Why are liberals "angry" after winning the White House again and holding on to control of the U.S. Senate?
Scarborough explained his difficulty with this question, after he was apparently exposed to it over the weekend on Twitter, where he said he was going to talk about football.
"People are crazy," Scarborough said. "I went on the Twitter this weekend. I did. And this is what I don't understand. John Heilemann, I've got the Google, too, on the Internet. I went on the Twitter just to talk football. Man that machine – can I just tell you? This is what I don't get. Maybe you can help me because you hang out with these people while you're in the opium dens across the greater Manhattan area. Why are liberals still so angry on the Twitter?"
Why, Joe? Because that's who they are. Let's make one distinction, though: these are Progressives, the far left extremists. And this goes back a long, long time, but really started to ramp up in the 1990's with the expansion and availability of the Internet. Then along came he Clinton impeachment issue, and they went truly nuts. They were miserable people throughout the Bush years, and became more miserable when the Democrats took back the House and Senate in 2006. Things didn't get better when Obama won in 2008, because they wanted more and more and more. Nor did it get better this past November 6.
I've always said that Progressives would be mad that someone gave them a cute 'n fuzzy puppy, because such cuteness is rage inducing, and they will find a way to turn it into a negative, like point out that puppies poop and chew on things, and, oh, yeah, they are supposedly bad for "sustainability" and cause Gaia to have a fever through globull warming. These are people who get mad because something made them happy. Take one to the beach and they'd bitch about the hot sand, the consistency of sun block, the bird calls disturbing them, the water being wet and salty, will whine about the price of parking non-stop, and wonder when everyone can leave.
These are people who look at the glass as empty. And they expect Someone Else to fill out. There is no deep explanation for it, since, as Dennis Green said "they are who we thought were." Simply miserable people.
BTW, Joe? It's simply "Twitter", not "the Twitter".

Three Up, Three Down
Just like Mr. Krause on a first date, this is gonna be quick, probably painful and
will most likely include more than one embarrassing revelation:
Today is election day here in the Chi. Rahm. Carol. Chico. Some other guy. Those are your choices for mayor. Oh… I mean, those are your Democratic party choices. In this town, Republicans just hang out at the local deep dish joint and get fat, occasionally showing up to an event to slam a Democrat or two. Such slams are rarely heard. Like they say, if a tree falls…
And don't worry. When I showed up to vote this morning I didn't let that pesky ghost of Ron Santo standing outside the polling center sway me. And judging by the turnout (or lack thereof), I don't think anyone else is voting him in either.
Some things never change… like…
So, will you or won't you, dear readers? Will you follow my jaded and oft lugubrious colleague, Mr. Allen Krause, to the trenches of a baseball-less existence… all to stick it to a guy (assuming Bud Selig does have proper male anatomy) who doesn't care, who isn't listening, who won't get it anyway? Are you really ready to stay home and watch Maury all day instead of batting practice? Are you prepared to sulk in the reality that is a soulless sports sanctuary that includes *cough* the NBA and NHL? You do know that this has nothing to do with forcing change (why bring it up just now after all these years?) and everything to do with misery loves company, right?
It's true dear readers… and it's all the fault of…
Who else is to blame for Mr. Krause's sudden bout of revolutionary activism? Why it can only be his beloved man-crush Miguel Cabrera, of course! With Miggy's er… uh… "issues" causing alarm throughout the Tigers organization, Mr. Krause knows that his team's season could be well over before it even starts. And that is why he is rushing to react, to draw in troops, to overthrow the baseball world so we all lose sight of Detroit slipping below Kansas City in the win column.
Believe it. Or don't. Just don't say you weren't warned by someone in the know.
And… don't hate me. 'Cuz I'm right.

I'm all for the right cause, as long as I don't have to do anything🙂
Or in this case, not not do something. Have your walk out or no-show in Detroit, I'll be in Wrigley, drinking $28 Old Style and eating $15 nachos. Then I'll probably buy a new $75 Cubs hat because they come out with a new version every year. If they win I'll proclaim it the best money I ever spent. If they lose I'll say that we got F'd by the umps.
Baseball Fever – catch it
Hear, hear. (and I always suspected Allen harbored a hidden love for Mauer) If I'm going to throw myself on my sword just to make a statement, it had better be an effective one. Not showing up to Opening Day games that pretty much every would be boycotter has already purchased non refundable tickets for isn't exactly going to make an effective statement. It's quite clear that Selig doesn't care about fans' enjoyment of the game, so if we've already given him our money, what does he care if we show up or not?
The Revolution will not be televised and it darned well better not come between me and my Opening Day precious.😉
Russel — Dude! I know! I have consumed more than my share of billion dollar Old Styles… I'd pay a billion more if they'd stop playing that "Go Cubs Go" abomination of a song.
Kristen — Yes… that's what I'm talkin' about. Who does Krause think he is anyway? Onward and upward!
Oh, I get it. So Allen only wanted us to boycott Opening Day because he knows the Tigers don't have a shot this season. As for his man crush on Miggy, is it more serious than your man crush on Albert?
I don't think Allen can top me in, well, anything, Jane… so let's just say my heart breaks harder than his when it comes to unsatisfactory man-crushes😉
