One Laptop Per Child organization is considering to dump x86 architecture microprocessors in favour of ARM architecture chips or even ARM-based system-on-chip designs in the next-generation XO laptop aimed at developing nations. While this could potentially trim costs and boost power consumption, this also means lack of compatibility with desktop Microsoft Windows operating system (OS).
"We're seeing some very impressive system-on-chip (SoC) designs that provide both fundamentally low-power demands and the kind of fine-grained power management in the XO-1. Our current XO-1 uses an average of 5W of power, and while most people think that's amazingly low, we think it's our biggest problem," said Ed McNierney, chief technology officer at OLPC, in an interview with IDG News Service.
There are a lot of low-power x86 microprocessors on the market nowadays: both Advanced Micro Devices and Intel Corp. now offer relatively high-performance chips with low thermal envelope. However, ARM processors consume even less and there is a number of promising SoC designs, such as Nvidia Tegra with DirectX 9-class programmable graphics core inside an ARM-based SoC, that consume even less with no apparent drawbacks.
But ARM processors do bring a problem for OLPC's XO-2: the lack of compatibility with Windows operating system for desktops. In addition, over time OLPC will have to ensure software availability for the XO-2, which will hardly be easy to achieve if the system is not based on an x86 microprocessor.
"Like many, we are urging Microsoft to make Windows – not Windows Mobile – available on the ARM. This is a complex question for them," said Nicholas Negroponte, the head of non-profit OLPC organization.
The OLPC XO-2 is expected to include a software-designed, touch-sensitive keyboard and two touch-screen displays, according to reports.
Besides improving software support and ensuring low power consumption, OLPC also has to integrate support of 3G or WiMAX connectivity into the XO-2 in order to provide Internet access in rural areas.
No final design decisions have been made so far.

Gas tax increase proposal to be released
New taxes to raise $479 million a year
It would cost more to register a vehicle, get a driver's license and buy gas in Wisconsin under a series of recommendations expected to be finalized by a group studying ways to shore up transportation funding in the state.
The recommendations would generate about $479 million a year over the next 10 years are to be released Wednesday by the Transportation Finance and Policy Commission.
Many of the group's ideas have already been rejected by Gov. Scott Walker.
Walker has said improving the state's infrastructure is one of his priorities, but he is opposed to raising the gas tax. Walker has also come out against toll roads or limited toll lanes to raise money.
He will outline his plan in his state budget to be released next month.

- Australian women and careers : psychological and contextual influences over the life course
- Author(s)
- Poole, Millicent E.; Langan-Fox, Janice
- Abstract
- 'Australian women and careers' makes an important contribution to our understanding of the changing role of women in society. It draws on a unique Australia-wide longitudinal study of men and women, both in the paid workforce and in the home. From an initial set of 5000 17-year-olds surveyed in 1973, the educational and career paths of 3000 were followed through to 1982 and, of these, 30 were the subject of a qualitative, in-depth study from childhood through to 1990. The authors use this rich data to explore the range of factors that influence women's careers and their career choices. Women have been at the forefront of rapid social and occupational change during this period. The authors examine the issues affecting women's lives and consider the impact of changes in their educational and occupational opportunities. In analysing the shifts in women's careers, they examine factors such as success criteria, stress and the conflicting demands of work and home. This book provides a useful critique and summary of existing career and occupational theories, pointing to crucial gender differences in the development of careers. The authors propose a new model of career development which embraces the experiences of both women and men, and make policy recommendations relevant to employers, career analysts and advisers, and governments.

My LC said 4 weeks
My LC said 4 weeks
Exclusively and every minute of it!!
SAHM Magic Mama to Rowdy
Born 10/13/07 ALL NATURAL
9lbs 10 oz, 21" long
Excited about becoming a LC!!!!!!
If you have no specific reason to introduce a bottle (i.e., going back to work), I would wait until at least 4-6 weeks. Also, there's no reason for you personally to introduce the bottle - let your LO continue to associate you with nursing, and let your DH and other caregivers attempt the bottle.
I will say, as well, that unless you are going to have a planned absence like returning to work, there is absolutely no reason why your LO needs to be able to take a bottle. Apart from some ill-advised supplementation in the week after DS was born, he has never had a bottle, and we never missed it. Remember that they don't always eat every hour like they do when they're so little! Before you know it, those feedings will be spaced out and you'll have a few hours after feeding where you won't be "on tap"
Erin - Hayden James is my beautiful boy - we've been nursing happily for two years, with no end in sight!
Change the language, change the reality.
I just wanted to say real quickly that nipple confusion can be a real issue for some babies, but not everyone. It was part of some major problems we had in the begining. It probably is wise to wait as long as you can. Your LO isnt going to got hungry. If you are not around, and the only option is a bottle they will take it if they are really hungry.
Mama to DD#1 Exclusive pumper for 3 months before getting back to breast
DD#2 Straight from the tap since birth
With Eszter, our pediatrician suggested 6 weeks, as I was going back to work at 8 weeks. She had no problems at all. With the twins, we used a cup to supplement for about a week when they were a few weeks old. We've never really tried bottles. I can leave for a few hours at a time if I nurse them right before I go. They do just fine.
The choice is yours how you want to handle this, but 3 weeks isn't necessary. Give your sweet one plenty of time to learn to nurse effectively first.
Mommie to big sister Eszter, and twinnies Sophia and Josiah
I introd a bottle right away with dd bc of slow weight gain and latch issues . . .awful idea! She never did get it and I had to exclusively pump for her. With ds, we were NOT going that route! We waited til 5 weeks adn tried. He would have NO part of it. but we kept trying here and there for a few weeks (dh or others offering) Eventually he did take it and now has an occasional bottle with no problems. While it was hard bc we waited, it was way worth it to have no bf problems bc of it!
We started bottles in the hospital because of weight. My son did have problems with getting a good latch, but that was even before the bottles were introduced. He got at least one bottle a day because I wanted to make sure he could switch back and forth easily. Unfortunately, one day I was too lazy to do the bottle and from that day on, he has refused bottles. (he was about 7 weeks at the time and he is now almost 10 months). I heard that between 5 and 8 weeks is the most crucial time to do bottles otherwise they will refuse - of course that's not all babies. If you want the baby to take bottles, make sure you do it very regularly (I believe it was a nurse that told me 3 times a day, which seemed extreme to me, but I think once a day would be ok) so that they don't refuse. Every baby is different. I would just not wait too long so that the baby refuses to switch. Nipple confusion is real, but I would say that it seems most babies can switch back and forth without a problem. Good luck!!
Mommy to ...
Ella (11/03/04)
Owen (03/29/07)
Cate (11/17/08)
my son is 9 mths and still will not take a bottle from me!! I waited to introd. the bottle around 6 weeks because I too was afraid of nipple confusion. Luckily we never had any confusion but, a friend of mine introd. the bottle right away (her baby is 9 mths also) and had so many problems that a LLI leader recommended she feed with a dropper for 24 hours and start over. They are now using formula. I guess what I am trying to say is wait as long as you can if there is no reason to use the bottle. In the grand scheme of things the bf years go by fast and you should savor every moment and enjoy it!!
Our ped and everyone else said to do it at 2 weeks however I really thought that was too early and I waited till 6 weeks. He was fine and has always taken both with no problem!

text: I wonder how DD would do if I brought up the idea of a weaning party again. In the past, she has always LOST it. In fact, we didn't go to DJ's weaning party (yes, I totally would have crashed it otherwise!) because I knew Grace would cry the whole time, thinking it meant she couldn't nurse anymore, and turning it into a huge dramatic thing. (Yeah, she has a serious future as an actress - drama queen doesn't even begin to describe it! ) But she love love LOVES parties now, so maybe if I get a calendar and try to explain it as several months down the line, etc. she might get on board with the idea.

For rising star Teresa Palmer, her new film "Warm Bodies" presents a unique opportunity. On one hand it's a film that fits well in the ever-popular zombie genre, and in an unusual twist, it's also a comedy romance -- and lucky for Palmer, she's long been a fan of both.
"I love zombie films like Danny Boyle's '28 Days Later' -- I thought it was so brilliantly done and so grounded in reality. I was definitely thrust into the zombie world watching that film," Palmer told me in a recent interview. "But 'Warm Bodies' was different for me. I definitely connected with this idea that it was a quirky take on the classic love story. It was so unique and never been done before, and the people involved were so inspiring to me."
Opening in theaters nationwide on Friday, "Warm Bodies" stars Nicholas Hoult as R, one of a few zombies in a post-apocalyptic world who is still capable of thinking. Happening upon human survivor Julie (Palmer) during an attack with his fellow zombies, R curiously saves the woman and the two quickly develop a strange bond.
One of the things that's inspired R's new sense of compassion is the fact that he's eaten the brains of Julie's boyfriend, Perry (Dave Franco). It seems the brain food has not only triggered in R's mind Perry's memories and emotions of the time he's spent with Julie, it's mysteriously turning the zombie human again.
For Franco ("21 Jump Street"), "Warm Bodies" provided an interesting story dynamic. The downside is, he's a major character who's killed off 10 minutes into the film, but the upside is, the character is featured thereafter in flashbacks.
"My first instinct, reading the script, was, 'I get killed off pretty quickly, so just stop reading the script and don't do the film because there's nothing to do here,'" Franco told me in a separate interview. "But then you get to see my story play out in flashbacks. R sees very intimate moments that I share with Julie and through these very human moments, it starts to change him and makes him see the way things were before he was undead. His heart literally starts to beat again."
As for communicating the zombie's newfound emotions, Palmer said Hoult played it masterfully.
"Nick didn't have many lines, effectively -- he had a lot of grunts and groans -- yet he was still able to give me so much in terms of a performance I could work with," said Palmer, 26. "I have to say, I was worried about the challenges, not having the words to bounce off with my co-star. I thought it was going to be a very difficult task for me. But he gave me so much emotion through his eyes. I can't even believe how deep the well of talent is that he possesses."
Genre bending
Franco said he loved working on "Warm Bodies" because of the creativity it inspired, especially considering the uncharted territory of a zombie comedy romance. To that end, Franco said Jonathan Levine -- who directed the film and adapted the screenplay from Isaac Marion's bestselling novel -- was the perfect person to take on the genre-bending adaptation.
"It's always scary for people to tackle something that is so unique and different," said Franco, 28. "But with someone at the helm like Jonathan Levine, who is such a smart, young, up and coming guy, I knew going into the film that I was going to be safe. When you see the words on the page, it's a very solid script; but in the wrong hands, it could have been a mess."
Franco, the younger brother of actor James Franco, said he believes the key to the success of "Warm Bodies" is the way Levine finds balance in blending the film's genres.
"During any moments in the film where there could have been some serious melodrama, he allowed us to change things up and make it feel real," Franco said. "He also directed '50/50,' which also had a very interesting tone, trying to balance some comedy with a very serious subject matter (with cancer), and he did it seamlessly."
Palmer, who previously starred in such hits as "I Am Number Four" and "The Sorcerer's Apprentice," also thinks Levine nailed it.
"I absolutely love the fact that the film is different. The zombie fan and the romance fan can each get what they are looking for in this movie," Palmer beamed. "There's so much more to it. There's this incredible message in the film about love and how love breathes life back into us. It can transform us. It has this powerful gift."
Franco is also certain that "Warm Bodies" will be warmly embraced by all types of audiences.
"Going into this movie you don't have to be a huge zombie fan, because it has this love story, too," Franco said. "People can walk into this, and the main thing they can take away -- above anything else -- is that it's a love a story that happens to be about weird circumstances in a strange world."
As for people who have built-in expectations going into the film, namely fans of Marion's book, Palmer said they won't be disappointed.
"Jonathan really has created the 'Warm Bodies' world for the screen -- there are some changes from the book and that's to be expected -- but I don't think the fans of the book are going to be disappointed," Palmer said. "In fact, I think they're going to be really excited about how it's been translated on film."

Dodgers vs the Nationals at Dodger Stadium
Friday night Kershaw went eight strong inning giving up two runs in the 6th from a walk to Werth and a homerun to LaRoche. He just left that pitch too high. Kenley Jansen pitched the 9th but he gave us a scare when Espinosa sent a ball that came within inches of not being foul.
Earlier in the day during batting practice, while talking to Rosa and Ronnie by the Dodgers bullpen, a BP ball landed in back of me. I was so happy to get it as it has the 50th anniversary logo
Also during BP, I heard a mom tell her kid that she forgot her phone so she could not take his picture. I offered to take a picture and I would send it to her. I was sitting in the field level during the game. This same kid kept coming down to ask for a baseball between innings. I told him if he wanted he could sit next to me. He went and asked his who gave him permission so I watched the game with him. He brought over his uncle's Dodger hat to use to catch a baseball since he did not have a glove.
Little john told me he plays baseball and his team is undefeated 14-0. His mom had told me earlier that they were at the game to pay tribute to her dad who was a Dodger fan. Talking with the boy he told me they live up North. I asked if he was a Giant fan and he said yes but that he would not wear any Giant gear cause he did not want to get beat up. Sad. I told him he would not get beat up then I saw a guy with a Giant jacket and later a lady with a Giant shirt. I said "see, they are wearing Giant gear"
When I was seeing that he was not going to get a third out ball, I suggested to try at the end of the games with the umpires but to move a couple seats over the next aisle. He was only a few feets from me and I was keeping an eye on him. Well his mom comes down and she panicked not seeing him there, she said "WHERE IS MY SON?" I pointed to him (we were in the same row) and said that he had a better chance there to get a ball from the umps. Well, too many kids were in the dugout seat area so he did not get a ball. I reached in my bag for the batting practice ball I had gotten and gave it to him. He and his family thanked me. they did stay for the fireworks as they had an early flight back home.
I took a picture of little John with Hiccups payaso.
I had to ask little John his favorite players. For the Giants: Buster Posey and for the Dodgers: Matt Kemp.
Looking at Jon SooHoo pictures blogs, I noticed he included a picture he took as he was going by during batting practice! I was sitting with June. Thanks Jon!
And here is another one. I think this is when I was going to take a picture of little John.
It was also Fireworks night. Here is another picture from Jon SooHoo.
Check out Jon SooHoo's great pictures at http://dodgersphotog.mlblogs.com/
OK, got to get ready to head to Dodger Stadium! Strasburg against Billingsley. Also Bryce Harper will make his major league debut at Dodger Stadium. Both the Dodgers and Nationals have identical records of 14-6. Let's go Dodgers!
6 Comments
Oh most definetly will save my tickets! It was a great game. Beastmode Matt Kemp is just in total beastmode. 11 homeruns so far. Kid Harper sure has a rifle for an arm. Love how the Dodgers did not give up after Guerra had another tough inning.
WR, Kemp should be the player of the month.
Jeff, yeah, there was so much going on at Dodger Stadium. Too bad a couple of fans had to interfere with the game like the guy that ran into the field and the one that did the mooning during Harper's MLB at bat debut.

Just in time for the All-Star game, Minnesota's Target Field is the first Major League Baseball stadium to get a self-serve beer station.
According to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, fans got to try it out on Sunday during the Twins game against the New York Yankees.
The machine dispense four different kinds of beer, and fans are charged by the ounce.
Here's how it works: A customer goes to a concession cashier, shows an ID and buys a $10 or $20 vendor card to scan at the machine. Customers can withdraw up to 48 ounces every 15 minutes, but there will be an employee at each station to checks IDs and step in if someone appears intoxicated.
There's only one station at Target Field at this point, but another is expected to open in time for the All-Star game on July 15.

Troy Renck reports the Phillies have signed infielder Greg Dobbs to a two-year, $2.5 million contract. The Phillies have avoided arbitration with Dobbs.
A fine signing, indeed. Glad to have the game's best pinch hitter locked in for two years.

One down, more to go! I think it's a good thing that Madson declined. He would be good trade bait at the deadline. As well as he erformed in the post season(which was spetacular), I still don't know how reliable he will be long term. Also, after the expirament with him in the starting rotation a few years back, Madson has been known to be easily rattled for extended periods. I think 3 years would have been too long for him, however, 4 mil a year sounds about right. Unless he's throwing high 90's all season long, he will be hard pressed to get much more than that anywhere else.
oops, posted the response to the wrong thread. My bad.
they just showed Werth at the sixers game, he might be in town cause he is working out a deal… i would keep an eye on that
one of the best moves so far this offseason.
Dobbs for 2 years $2.5 mil is a market value deal for a solid role player. Congrats to Dobbs and to the Phils. Solid move.
Thats a good, cheap, value signing. Nice move.
Good to have him back. He is perfectly suited as a left ahnded bat off the bench.
Good move – Lock up the guys who won't cost a ton first, see where you are at, then make Hamels an offer. I would hold off on Howard, see where he is next year, then either trade him, or give him a 3-4 year deal.
I think the move almost guarantees that either Stairs or Jenkins will be gone next season. The next move I'd like to see is the Phils sign Nomar.
According to mlbtraderumors, we just inked Hamels to a 3 years deal worth 20.5 million. I thought we might try to sign him long term after we made our moves on Victorino and Werth, or settle arbitration this year and sign a long term deal after this season. Who knows, maybe after 2009, Hamels would have been asking for a lot more.
Love the Dobbs move. Best bench player on the team.
I like the Hamels move, too. He's only had one full injury-free season, so this is a relatively low-risk way to lock him up for awhile without having to worry about Ryan Howard-esque arbitration raises. Look at how much Howard got last year and he's not as consistent as Hamels. We locked up our ace for three years Based on the experiences the Phils have had with arbitration in the past, this is a good move.
When does Howard come off the books?
Buying out Hamels arb years is a Smart Move and it shows a good gesture. Theyre getting him a little cheap I think actually, because I thought hed make more in arb this year than 4.35M this year. It allows them to have a year or two of breathing space before having to start work on a long-term extension to cover the some of free agency years.
Howard is a free agent in two years…itd be nice to get him off the books before that so they could come up with long term deals for werth and victorino and maybe even myers or blanton. madsons already gone after this year that much is clear. i have to think amaro is working on multiyear deals for victorino and werth as well.
THey basically signed this deal with Hamels to make him happy so they can have an inside track at signing him beyond his arb years.
Good point, Geoff.
By Jon Heyman, SI.com
Ace left-hander Cole Hamels and the Philadelphia Phillies have reached agreement on a three-year extension worth $20.5 million, SI.com has learned.
The new deal will pay the Phillies' World Series hero $4.35 million this coming season, then $6.65 million in 2010 and $9.5 million in 2011.
Hamels' base salary also will increase by $500,000 in any season after he wins a Cy Young Award and by $250,000 if he finishes second or third in Cy Young balloting.
Dobbs… great move. One of the best LH utility/pinch hitters in the game.
Hamels… good gesture.
I think that this speaks volumes about where this organization has come. I mean, it has always been about working the system… understanding that you don't need to sign players that are under control (all that does is increase your risk). What you end up with, though, are players that might not be eager to go that extra mile… you end up with unhappy players in April (players that are undoubtedly still thinking about the arbitration process). I honestly did not think they would sign Hamels beyond one year. Now that they did, I think that this relays a message to the team that the Phillies are committed to keeping the nucleus of this team in tact. They're going to get another shot to win a championship together and we should be happy about that.

Expert Q & A Answers About types of HIV
My HIV antibody test is positive...but the Western Blot is negative. What does this mean? Do I have HIV or not?
About 7 months ago I visited a gentleman's club in Singapore (I was there for school). I wound up French kissing one of the workers there. I did not have sex ⎼ including oral sex ⎼ and no drugs at all. I got concerned about STDs so I went to a doctor for advice. He said that French kissing is a risk for HIV and I should get tested at 3 months...but I got scared so I got tested almost every week. And all ten tests were negative until my last test at a hospital. That test was an ag/ab test called a chemiluminescence test and the document they gave me had an index number on it (2.69). They ran a Western Blot for HIV-1 and HIV-2, both of which were negative. I went back for confirmation two weeks later and got the same results but with an even lower index number (1.72). I'm so confused about these results...but I also read that false positives are rare...do you have any advice?

"Carl P. and Selba Meadows Boyd Conference Room" Officially Dedicated During July 27 Program at BSC
CreatedMonday, July 30 2012
Created byJim Nelson/Media Relations - (304) 327-4103 firstname.lastname@example.com
|The "Carl P. and Selba Meadows Boyd Conference Room" at Bluefield State College was officially dedicated during a July 27 ceremony at BSC. Pictured at the ceremony are Mr. Boyd (right) and Mrs. Boyd.
The Boyds, both lifelong supporters and friends of Bluefield State College, are BSC alumni. Their generosity includes the establishment and funding of one of the largest of all BSC Foundation scholarships. Both are very active at the national and local levels of the BSC Alumni Association. The dedication ceremony is a featured event in the Alumni Association's 20th national reunion on the BSC campus.
"The Carl P. and Selba Meadows Boyd Conference Room has become a wonderful venue and resource for the College," noted Dr. Felica Wooten Williams. "The renovated room is set up to accommodate academic and instructional activities, and it enhances the administrative and managerial capacities of the institution."
The project, which began during the Spring 2011 Semester, replaced existing furnishings with more modern seating, conference table, projection television, audio and video interactive conferencing capabilities, and more.
"The décor is now the unified gold and blue of Bluefield State College," Dr. Williams continued. "The room now exudes a sense of warmth, camaraderie, and unity. Carl and Selba Boyd certainly personify those same very positive traits."
"Carl and Selba Boyd are such wonderful ambassadors for Bluefield State College," added Dr. Thomas Blevins, BSC Interim President. "They love their alma mater and they have been sources of strength and insight for Bluefield State College since they arrived on the campus as students more than a half-century ago. We are grateful for their support and for the wonderful examples of grace, warmth, and dignity that are so evident in their lives of service to others."

When a Republican really isn't republican
Watching the Kabuki Theater that is Congress would be hilarious if it were not so terribly sad.
As the 2014 election season ramps up, so called Republicans like Shelley Moore Capito and David McKinley are running about West Virginia claiming they are fighting the Obama Administration, while nothing could be farther than the truth.
Analyzing the voting records of both of West Virginia's so called Republicans you will find that both McKinley and Capito have voted with the Obama Administration over 63 percent of the time!
Whether it be by voting to fund the National Security Agency to spy on your emails, phone calls and texts without a warrant, voting to take away your 5th and 6th Amendment rights by voting for indefinite detention and the suspension of your right to an attorney under the National Defense Authorization Act, voting to continue funding the EPA as it kills our coal industry or most recently voting to fund Obamacare, this pair of self-declared conservatives are siding with Obama and his hirelings the majority of the time.
In fact why do we even call the Affordable Care Act Obamacare, when it should now be called Capito/McKinleyCare?
Watching them stand on the "stump" and declare they are fighting for you, and the Constitution is nothing more than pure comedic lies.
In the end, Capito and McKinley voted against the majority of Republicans in Congress, and voted to force you onto Obamacare, while they themselves are exempt. They sold you out.
And have been since re-elected.
Compromising on almost every principle, they have failed to uphold even the West Virginia State Republican Party Platform time after time.
And now both are seeking your votes, so they can continue to sell you down the river for personal political gain.
Just because they plunk down the letter R beside their name, doesn't mean that they are representing you. Votes count, rhetoric does not. And letters behind a name mean absolutely nothing.
Your donations to the GOP in West Virginia will be used to elect them once again to continue this travesty.
Will this political theater continue? That is up to you, not the establishment, not the media, the party hacks or the talking heads. You will determine if you hold them accountable for their dismal voting records, or merely fall prey to the team R game once again.

Come see the Hall of FameAugust 30,2013
Come see the Hall of Fame
Thank you for the article about Bob Davis and the Vermont Agricultural Hall of Fame.
This year, the hall is celebrating 11 years of highlighting wonderful Vermonters who have made such a difference in our state. Almost 60 individuals, representing all aspects of our industry, have been honored with induction, and their images are visible on the wall at the Champlain Valley Exposition year-round. CVE has hosted the luncheon for the inductees, their families or representatives, sponsors and friends during the fair for the past nine years.
We encourage anyone in the state to nominate a deserving Vermonter by going to www.cvexpo.org and following the links to the application. It is actually pretty easy and doesnt require the 150 signatures or any petition as presented by Mr. Paige in the article. The form asks for highlights of the persons life and a 250-word narrative with more information. Nominations are never discarded, and the committee reviews all previous and current submissions every year when making its decisions.
The Hall of Fame luncheon has become an important celebration of agriculture for Vermont, and I invite all those attending any events at the Champlain Valley Exposition to visit the entryway to Miller Building North and view the black-and-white photographs. They serve as a testament to the hard work and generous hearts of those who have spent their lives making our state a leader in agriculture.

An Oklahoma man charged with a 1990 sexual assault waived his right to a preliminary hearing Friday.
According to a Wisconsin Department of Justice statement, 41-year-old Glendon Gouker was bound over for trial in Waupaca County Circuit Court on one felony charge of first-degree sexual assault of a then-20-year-old woman in November 1990 in Iola.
The statement said Gouker's arraignment has been scheduled for Feb. 27.
Gouker is also considered a person of interest in a 1992 double murder, according to Waupaca County Sheriff Brad Hardel.
The break in the case came in 2011, when DNA evidence was resubmitted to the state crime lab for analysis as part of an ongoing investigation into the 1992 fatal stabbings of 23-year-old Tanna Togstad and 35-year-old Tim Mumbrue. State investigators said Gouker was found to be a contributor to the DNA.

Fable 3 ReviewBy Adam Sessler - Posted Oct 25, 2010
Fable III is an enormously rich experience in which no moment is lacking; however, the collective experience, how it connects to the narrative spine, is less than the sum of its parts.
The Pros
- Incredibly articulated world
- Expanded story
- Effective combat system redesign
- Working Co-Op mode
The Cons
- Game makes improvements, but didn't capitalize on them
- NPC interaction has been limited
- Occasional technical issues
Fable III Review:
What sets the Fable series apart from not only other action RPG's, but all other games, is the setting of Albion. The world acts as a character in and of itself: a dark, British fairytale setting that is suffused with a sense of wonder that invites exploration and holds out the promise of some remarkable discovery of some new element of the developer Lionhead's remarkable imagination.
From the outset, Fable III surpasses their presentation of the world of Albion from previous efforts and with it the introduction of Bowerstone Industrial, the strange amalgamation of Dickensian smokestacks, creature-filled sewers and destitute peasantry, one of the most memorable moments in gaming this year.
Brothers at War
Fable is easily the most ambitious entry in the series and -- for the most part -- those ambitions are a double-edged sword. The story, which never became fully fleshed out in the second game, is far more robust thanks to the decision to use non-interactive cutscenes and a broader scope in storytelling to help the narrative along.
You play the youngest son (or daughter) of the hero from Fable II and have been ensconced in a life of idle luxury living in the castle with your dog, your loyal servant Jasper (voiced exquisitely by John Cleese) and your brother, the king. As the game begins you quickly learn that your dear sibling is not well-liked by the populace and his tyrannical behavior has caused enough unrest to drag you into the simmering uprising and position you as the only hope for Albion to unseat the king and restore decency to the kingdom. This sets the player on a quest to rally the disparate elements of Albion to stand with him to overthrow the King.
Follow the Leader
This story and game structure starts out promisingly enough in the snow-capped mountains of Albion where you must assist a people called the "Dwellers" to win over the support of their leader, Sabine (voiced by an unrecognizable Ben Kingsley). This involves dealing with aggressive mercenaries, finding the music box from Fable II in the hollow-men infested university catacombs, and convincing the residents of a nearby town to donate food and supplies.
At this point, the game sets forth the promise of getting deeper into the mythology of Albion, fleshing out its various peoples and locales, giving richer character to what has always been such a curious world. Instead, the narrative breadth narrows considerably. You start picking up followers for the revolution in a far more streamlined manner as you traverse Albion, arrive in Bowerstone Industrial, travel to the mysterious continent of Aurora and then take the throne. What is so curious is that while the narrative and the world are bigger and better, these improvements set the stage for something grander that is not realized and left me wanting, despite around thirty hours of play.
This is most evident after taking the throne when you are in the position to fulfill promises you made to your followers and having to face the significant costs incurred in doing so. The conceit is ingenious; however, the execution is not as satisfactory. This is due in large part to the preceding narrative that moves so swiftly it prevents the necessary emotional grounding needed to give true weight to the decisions and there are only modest attempts to then see the impact of these decisions on the residents of Albion.
Despite a major plot point that impacts this decision making process, the main impetus is the player's desire to have their king play as good or evil. As with the narrative itself the major ambitions with the game are nothing short of admirable in their attempt and are nothing short of enjoyable when playing in the moment, but, in falling short of their promise, make for a dissatisfaction that a game more limited in scope, like Fable II, does not engender.
The Spoils of War
In spite of my dissatisfaction with the game's end, I need to be emphatic that Fable III is a great game. Sidequests abound and are written with the unparalleled humor of Lionhead studios and the world is a rich, living space that only improves with diligent investigation, as there are multitudinous surprises to be discovered although they can be very hidden. In fact, I would recommend using a strategy guide to get the most out of the experience.
As with Fable II, the star attraction is Albion, the most wonderfully articulated gamespace out there. The art direction has grown by leaps and bounds and the inclusion of industrial and imperial elements makes for a stunning mélange of archetypes that should not work in concert with one another but do, and do so in exhilarating fashion: a creaky Hobbes-filled cavern has a steampunk monorail system, Hollow-men wear decaying military outfits, idiotic nobles live in idyllic splendor yet Balverenes wander freely only meters away.
These elements make getting lost inside the game a pleasure, especially in the Industrial sector of Bowerstone, which feels like John Webster retooled Oliver Twist and Joseph Conrad. The game gives ample reason to explore with keys, malevolent garden gnomes, ancient tomes and demon doors tucked away in the corners.
Catch an STD and Make Friends
There are other changes to the base gameplay of Fable and combat has received a truly effective redesign. While still retaining the single button commands for the three types of weaponry (melee, guns and magic) and the amount of time depressing the button to determine the strength of the attack, the experience feels significantly more dynamic. Judging enemies and their attacks is essential and determining whether to block or dodge can make all the difference.
The enemies themselves are far more numerous and much tougher, especially high-level enemies that show up mid-way through the game and require patience and attention. Best of all, are the flourishes that can be triggered when the player holds down a button long enough, these animations truly feel heroic, are remarkably varied, and bring a strong sense of satisfaction to the action.
The weapons themselves have taken a redesign as well. You begin with "Hero" weapons, a sword, a hammer, a pistol and a rifle. These weapons both improve with use and morph to reflect the player's behavior throughout the game. Catching an STD, killing a lot of civilians and making many friends alters the nature and appearance of these weapons and is a clever way to get the player to invest in his character growth. In addition, there are "Legendary" weapons that can be bought in stores, found in the world or picked up through DLC. These weapons come with upgrades by performing simple grind quests: kill 300 hollow men, befriend 30 civilians and so forth.
The improvements to the weapons vary from increasing experience gained, altering how attractive people find you and, most importantly, how much damage they deal. This last aspect is a sticking point as you can only earn these damage improvements by killing enemies with that specific weapon. This typically will result in one or two weapons becoming significantly more powerful than the rest in your arsenal and with the enemies increasing in difficulty, the less powerful weapons get shoved to the side.
The weapons are kept in an innovative space called "The Sanctuary," which is an interactive 3D inventory that is much easier to navigate than a typical stat screen, tended to by your butler Jasper. This greatly facilitates the experimentation which is a core element to the franchise. Mixing and matching outfits to look ridiculous, checking my progress towards achievements and perusing my weapons became far more pleasurable, strengthened the necessary bond with the game.
Use Your Words
One of the most classic elements of the franchise, which also builds that sense of connection to the gameworld, is the interaction with NPC's, which has undergone a dramatic redesign and not necessarily for the better. Whereas in previous Fable games you selected your interaction from a wheel and could perform for an individual or a group, here you choose a single NPC and then select a good, silly, or mean expression (assuming you have earned them) except the specific expression that is displayed, after you pick a category, is chosen by the game. Once the expression is completed, the game allows you to perform another in one of the three categories.
These far more limited interaction options do result in fabulous animations, but after a short time, the fun departs and the outcomes and results of your character's behavior loses the toybox fun of Fable II. The interactions are of more value to the player as they liberate experience and minor fetch quests, but it is at the cost of the organic quality of the previous games and the silly joy that came with them.
The game does have bugs and while the typical clipping and AI errors are to be expected in a game of this size. I did lose out on a quest that was never activated and lost audio throughout another one. They didn't grind the game to a halt, but given that the game overwrites saves and many players will want to take a completist run, there are concerns.
Let's Get Together
Co-op, not a successful foray in Fable II, has returned…and it works. This is all due to the technically impressive feat of allowing both players to have independent cameras, which means someone can join your game and feely roam within the specific region or the world. Once again, player orbs float in the gameworld and the player can decide if they only want to interact with fiends or, the truly daring option of having your world open to anyone and the potential havoc they can wreak.
More importantly elements of the game are designed for co-op, events in single player becomes small contests in co-op, upgrading certain weapons requires gift-giving to friends and certain weapons in your game are not present in others so shopping is a huge advantage. I have a hard time foreseeing playing through the entire game with another person, but the casual, and easy drop-in/drop-out format should lead to interesting and satisfying fun.
All Good Things Come To An End
Fable III is an enormously rich experience in which no moment is lacking; however, the collective experience, how it connects to the narrative spine, is less than the sum of its parts.
For a game based on the trick of making promises and then making good on them, it falls into the very conundrum it seeks for the player to experience. Fable III is an amazing game that I intend to play through again and perhaps, this time, it will be better to know that the getting to the throne is a messier affair than I originally thought.

City man jailed after break-in, scuffle with policeJuly 17,2014A Rutland man is behind bars on $5,000 bail after city police say he broke into a home on Baxter Street and then kicked and spat at officers who arrested him.
David H. Ames, 51, pleaded innocent in Rutland criminal court this week to felony charges of unlawful trespass in an occupied residence and burglary, as well as misdemeanor counts of unlawful trespass and simple assault with fluids against a law enforcement officer.
Ames was arrested Friday after a homeowner on Baxter Avenue called to report that an unknown man was in his upstairs apartment.
Ames, who has a different Baxter Street address, was led at gunpoint out of the home by the tenant. Police say that during his arrest, hand cuffs and leg restraints were applied to Ames, along with a spit mask because the suspect was repeatedly spitting at officers.
Ames allegedly pounded his head against the cage of a police cruiser and later banged his head repeatedly in a holding cell at the police station where he was "tied down" briefly. He was taken to Rutland Regional Medical Center for treatment of self-inflicted injuries, police said.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

Vt. snows prompt threat of possible spring floodsBy WILSON RING
THE Associated Press | February 23,2014Albert J. Marro / Staff FILE Photo
John Kelly uses a snowblower to remove several inches of snow from a storm earlier this month. Heavy snowfall this month is leading to concern over spring flooding.MONTPELIER A series of February snowstorms have piled up the snow in the mountains of Vermont heading into the last month of winter and emergency planners and weather forecasters are starting to prepare for the possibility of flooding when that snow starts to melt.
The National Weather Service has begun issuing biweekly reports on the spring flooding threat. Currently the threat is rated at near or slightly above normal. Everything depends on what happens over the next six weeks.
The spring flood threat really has a lot to do with what happens from basically mid-February through April, said Scott Whittier of the NWS office in South Burlington.
In a worst case, Vermont could see a repeat of 2011, when heavy winter snows and spring rains kept Lake Champlain well above flood stage until late June. It was a foretaste of the catastrophic statewide flooding caused later that year by Tropical Storm Irene.
In 2001 officials warned that a heavy winter snowpack would almost certainly combine with spring rains and warm temperatures to flood low-lying areas. But the weather cooperated and there was no flooding that year.
Following four separate flood emergencies in 2011, including Irene, and three last year, people at Vermont Emergency Management and Homeland Security are also starting to watch the flood forecast, said spokesman Mark Bosma.
Its always top of mind at certain times of the year and this is one of them. Weve always been curious and interested in what the flood forecast is. It could be a case where people are just noticing it more because of Irene and that whole awful 2011, he said.
Even though there have been several large snowstorms in recent weeks, for the season the snowfall measured at the Burlington International Airport is near normal. But in 2011 there were major storms in March.
The flooding danger will escalate if the snow continues to fall and it starts to melt all at once, especially if its accompanied by heavy spring rains, Bosma said.
Vermonters could be more sensitive to the threat of flooding, given the four major floods of 2011 and three from 2013.
There is always going to be some version of a snowmelt threat, whether its localized ice jams or whether its a big event like 2011, Whittier said.
I think people have very short memories, thus if they are impacted, they are more likely to be responsive, which may actually be a good thing, Whittier said.
At the beginning of April 2001, there was the equivalent of 10 inches of rain held in the snow in the mountains. But major flooding was avoided when the weather warmed slowly and there were no major rain storms. Three years ago, the heavy winter snows combined with heavy spring rains to push Lake Champlain above flood stage until June 20.
It was just over two months later when Tropical Storm Irene hit the state.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt. Full StoryVermont Attorney General Bill Sorrell plans to join the U.S. Full StoryMONTPELIER Gov. Full Story

best part of the night.............no DUHON
D'amnfool sucks. "Just go out there guys and do what you do best"
i see no coaching going on, just poor subbing.
Enjoyed seeing Power Serge at the point, and Duhound on the bench where he belongs. I guess the new players are going to get mega-minutes until they start meshing, maybe that will happen around game 80...
Why is Gallo still starting? he looks clumsy and is passing open looks.
What happened to Wil the thrill? no plays designed for him, unless he's shooting 3's or is loose in transition.
What the hell is wrong with Barfington? He's a turnover machine!
This game was very hard to watch, tho watching the 1970 championship squad was heartening, as was listening to the Knicks legends; you get the idea that defense is a long-lost art, forever gone from the Knicks playbook, thanks to No-D'antoni and his mafia-coaching squad of yes men.
No-D', No-D', No-D'
best part of the night.............no DUHON
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
my second game live, so frustrating to watch, got so freakin piss, wtf is wrong with our offense.
Buck center kills us in the pant, our lack of a c is really killing us.
I never expected T-Mac to get 26 points tonight but he sure has lost his explosiveness. Hopefully he is just rusty after not playing for so long.
The more pressing issue is our lack of inside presence. I mean getting dominated by Bogut is just humiliating. A 20-20 night by scrub like Bogut??
If Jeff were still our coach, sh*t like this will not happen.
We have no inside defense so Bogut scored 10 more then usual....Why can't we hire a defensive minded assistant and play a bit of both systems and win more. I know we don't have a awesome team, but a lot of these games we give away. So a lot of teams aren't really much better then us. They just finish stronger
I've got this point of view since last season. Nyk still sucks in 4th quarter and every team use it against us, but in this season sometimes they are so close... oh lord it was with OKC, bucks are little bit worse IMO so WTF argh.... it was DEFENSE MINDED TEAM TO HELL now they can't stop most teams in 4th.
I said it before the thunder game, mcgrady is a work in process. this is a guy who had played a tottal of 45 minutes in the last 12 months prior to joining the knicks. patience is paramount. he'll have good and bad night till he gets his second wind and first step back. it's going to take 5 to 10 games probaly.
Whehen he has a big game in that time span dont get to excited because the very next night he could have a bad one like tonight.
T-Mac is T-Mac, I can never get down on a player of his caliber. If he signs with us for less, in the coming off-season, we should pick him up. No doubt.
Eddie House, though, is a bum. And you losers who spent your time bashing Harrington, who took 9 shots, while ignoring Eddie House and his 4-16 night, are legally, and medically, full of sh!t.
After you spent the last two days on your knees, waiting for House to give it to you, and squealing on about how much better than Nate, a guy who was developing into a good PG, he was, you refuse to admit the error of your ways. For shame! Give your self a human digit in the ANU(s).

Oh well... let them continue dreaming about pipes... hahahaha.
What happened last night?? we came back in the beginning of the third quarter and then died off the rest of the way...smh
We had like 20 something points in all of the second half. damn, we sucked. We could of used an offensive spark plug to come off the bench and energize us...
smokes, nice thread btw. glad to see that you incorporated some of my techniques
what a disaster game! bad selection in shots, no defense, no pride... ****!

A highly successful career appears to be in the cards for actress Rachel Brosnahan.
At age 23, Brosnahan's star isn't only rising -- it's soaring -- thanks to high-profile roles in Netflix's "House of Cards" and NBC's "The Black List." Better yet, she has much more on the way.
I talked with Brosnahan mere hours before the debut of Season 2 of "House of Cards" last week, and the Wisconsin-born and Illinois-raised actress couldn't have been more pumped. After all, Brosnahan's role as call girl Rachel Posner was originally supposed to run a mere two episodes in "House of Cards" -- but creator Beau Willimon was so impressed with the actress that he fleshed out the character to appear in seven episodes in the first season and eight episodes in the second.
"House of Cards," which became available for streaming on Valentine's Day for Netflix subscribers, is a much different project, work wise, for Brosnahan, because it's nothing like she's ever done on film or television.
"Working on 'House of Cards' the first season felt like a 13-hour movie to me and it wasn't really run like television," Brosnahan explained.
The sensibilities definitely changed, Brosnahan said, when she started work in network television. "When I started working on 'The Blacklist,' I thought, 'Oh, my God, this is insane,'" Brosnahan said. "The days aren't any different from any of the films I've worked on, especially the low-budget ones -- and there's been many of them -- but the turnaround is different. When I get the script the day before shooting and need to know eight scenes the next day by 5 a.m. It's taught me to be an amazing memorizer. I'm so fast now."
On the flip side, Brosnahan said, "House of Cards" episodes are shot two at a time every three weeks to a month, and in her experience on "The Blacklist," where she stars as Jolene/Lucy Brooks in a recurring role, it takes about nine days to shoot an episode.
For the uninitiated, "House of Cards" follows the dirty dealings of Sen. Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey) who underhandedly plots out revenge after the president reneges on a promise to make him secretary of state. The show also stars Robin Wright as Underwood's steely wife and conspirator, Claire, and Michael Kelly as Underwood's chief of staff and confidant, Doug Stamper.
While "House of Cards" is a fictional story, Brosnahan said she finds herself engaged in it because it unfortunately -- if not refreshingly -- exposes the all-too-real world of corruption in the political ranks and manipulation of the people on the outside. "We had a lobbyist on the set who watched Michael Kelly and I do a scene, and when we were done with a scene, he said, 'I know that guy. I've seen that guy,' and we were like, 'Oh, God, that's horrific,'" Brosnahan said.
While viewers can obviously get their fill of political corruption on a nightly basis by turning on the network and cable news channels, Brosnahan feels the show has struck a nerve because it is "so blatant" in its portrayal of politics. "The show presents itself in a way that it never tries to hide how corrupt things are," Brosnahan observed. "The characters are trying to hide it, but as an audience, you have the insight and get to see everything laid out in front of you. Whereas, in our own political system, we have no idea to the extent to which the corruption exists. We have all sorts of theories, but a show like 'House of Cards' helps feed a sick fantasy in a way of what might be happening in our government."
Due to the way fans can access "House of Cards" -- diehards can binge-watch all 13 shows at once, or casual fans can watch it whenever they find a free hour -- Brosnahan was reluctant to discuss aspects of her character in Season 2. One thing Brosnahan can say for sure is that her work in a dramatic, provocative role in the show has opened up a whole new world of opportunities. In addition to "The Black List," she has roles in the upcoming ABC drama "The Black Box," the WGN original series "Manhattan" and the HBO mini-series "Olive Kitteridge."
All the opportunities have allowed her to flex her creative muscles, and she has Rachel Posner to thank for it. "Prior to 'House of Cards,' I was looked at in a different light. I was playing young ingénues who were bright-eyed, innocent and asexual young ladies," Brosnahan said. "The show took an incredible chance on me, putting me in a role like Rachel, having no proof that I could pull it off. As a result, people are starting to look at me like I have more of a range. I'm getting to play a lot meatier roles. They're darker roles. They're not just the simple characters anymore, which has been really exciting for me."

A discerning cat in Oregon walked 12 miles back to its old home after a move he apparently didn't fancy.
George went missing shortly after his family moved across town in Portland in May.
The Campions looked everywhere.
Then someone suggested they check their old home.
Sure enough, the new renters said an orange tabby had been hanging around the house begging the new tenants to pet him.
"I couldn't believe it was him," Amy Campion told The Oregonian. "He was thinner, but he seemed perfectly fine."
George is now back at his new home again. He didn't protest, but was kept on a leash for a few weeks when let out in the backyard to make sure he stayed put.

March 27, 2013 —
At its monthly meeting on March 11, the Honesdale Borough Council and borough officials reviewed announcements and requests from local business and community groups with regard to upcoming events.
Friends of the Wayne County Public Library announced two library-sponsored events scheduled for next month. The first event is Flavor and Fun Luncheon on April 9 at the Hotel Wayne, with a start time of 12 noon. Featured speaker Pat Libutti is a master gardener, herb specialist and author of "Urban Herban." Tickets are available at the library for $20 each. The second event is In Good Taste, a wine tasting, to be held on April 26 at Wayne County Ford from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Admission costs $30. Tickets are available at the library; the public is urged to purchase tickets early, as this event is expected to sell out quickly.
The council granted requests for special parking privileges, street closures, signage, and venue reservations in connection with a vareity of events. For the May 10 and 11 plant sale, the Wayne County Penn State Master Gardeners requested the use of the 911 Memorial Park Sidewalk on May 11 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. The Greater Honesdale Partnership (GHP) submitted numerous requests in connection with the Honesdale 500 Sidewalk Sales Weekend on July 19 and 20. Gail M. Tucker, executive director of GHP, addressed each request before the council and outlined GHP plans for special events, including a feature film presentation in keeping with this year's Sidewalk Sales NASCAR theme. Borough President Monaghan jokingly asked Tucker for assurance that the film would not contain material of a sexually explicit nature; she replied that it would not, but that it would nevertheless be a film intended primarily for an adult audience.
Country Farm Market petitioned the council for use of the Fred R. Miller Pavilion Wednesdays in June from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. and Saturdays in June from 9 a.m. to 12 noon.
Wayne County Creative Arts Council requested the use of Central Park for its Summer Concerts in the Park series on Monday and Thursday evenings from June 17 through August 22, starting at 5 p.m. It was noted that no concerts will be scheduled during the week of the Wayne County Fair.
Among the council's other business, two topics generated considerable discussion, the first being the Building and Zoning Committee Report, which included introduction of a new safety procedure known as the Knox Box Ordinance. The draft ordinance will be publicly advertised for one month and voted on at the council's next monthly meeting. If passed, the ordinance will require all commercial buildings within the borough to install a lock box near the building's entrance(s), to facilitate fast, easy firefighter access to the building. Honesdale Fire Chief Steve Bates explained that similar ordinances have been adopted by other municipalities, to beneficial effect. He reassured merchants fearful that building security would not be compromised by the lock box system, and that strict security procedures will be observed by firefighters at all times, emphasizing that the chief benefits of the lock box system are faster, safer access for firefighters and less property destruction resulting from forcible entry.
The other hot topic of the evening was the ongoing debate about one-way traffic flow on Church and Main streets. During the public comment portion of the meeting, two people expressed opposition to the one-way flow. In a letter read aloud by Monaghan, the first opponent cited pedestrian safety concerns, claiming that faster thru traffic on both streets endangers pedestrians. Identifying himself as a Main Street merchant, the second opponent cited recently compiled traffic data to support his case that the one-way traffic flow on Main Street discourages drivers from patronizing business establishments on Main Street. Honesdale Mayor Ed Langendoerfer and council members applauded the apparent success of a recent meeting of the Ad-Hoc Committee for One Way Traffic Complaints. Attended by about 30 persons, ample testimony was provided by both proponents and opponents, and the meeting concluded without incident.
