The investigation is ongoing in the shooting death of Madison musician Paul Heenan, but the family of the victim wants answers sooner rather than later.
Speaking from her home in North Carolina 36 days after her brother died, Heenan's sister Emily says the officer who shot Heenan should be fired. She also questions the manner in which police have released information.
"You know, this could've happened to anyone," said Emily Heenan. "But it happened to my brother."
"I'll never be able to look at a police officer the same again," Emily continued.
Emily Heenan is driven to share her concerns about the case with the entire Madison community, and specifically with Police Chief Noble Wray and District Attorney Ismael Ozanne.
WISC-TV obtained the letter Heenan wrote (PDF) to the two city leaders on December 6.
In it, Heenan writes that the "lack of transparent facts in the case represents a problem for our community."
She also points out that it took the police department several days, four in fact, to confirm Paul was not a burglar but a neighbor in the wrong house, despite that fact being known by the first officers on the scene.
"The time that it took to clear his name should give all of us a cause for reflection," said Heenan. "We want an honest and forthcoming police department, not one that manipulates the release of facts in order to protect its public image."
The incident happened early Friday, November 9. It wasn't until Monday that police first answered any questions on camera from the media.
Chief Wray initially laid out what he called a "deadly force situation," during which Madison police officer Steven Heimsness saw two men "grappling and struggling" and thought the homeowner was struggling with a burglar. The officer said he ordered both to the ground. The homeowner dropped, but Heenan did not.
Heimsness said Heenan grabbed him and reached for his gun, after which he pulled the trigger three times, with all of the shots hitting Heenan, killing him.
"I didn't believe it," Heenan's sister now says. "There's no way. There's no way he could have gone for a gun. He hated guns. He was afraid of guns. He was scared of guns."
"I'm sure he was drunk," continued Heenan. "A lot of people get drunk in Madison. I was a UW student. I saw how people can drink downtown and stumble home. And people will stumble around and be confused and stupid and drunk but they don't get shot. They don't get shot by police officers, but they could. It could have been anybody."
In her letter, Emily Heenan urges the community to ask the tough questions, including does the Madison Police Department have a clean record in using lethal force or "do the powers that be just have a policy of giving the police officers involved the benefit of the doubt?"
Of Heimsness, Heenan says bluntly, "he should be fired."
"I hope the community will never forget this," she continues. "And I hope that they will remember this every time that they have to call the police."
Emily Heenan says she also wants people to remember Paul Heenan as kind and gentle, and she vows to keep fighting for her brother's name.
If she could speak to her brother now, Emily says, "Well, I would tell him that I love him. And I would tell him that I'm going to be strong and I will, and I will be strong and I will get the truth out about this. And I won't let him down."
In response, Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne told WISC-TV that he had not seen the letter, but he said that even if he had, he said he could not comment on an open investigation.
The DA has yet to decide if he will clear Officer Heimsness of any wrongdoing in that shooting.
The Madison police chief said Monday that he will respond directly to the criticism from the Heenan family but that it will not happen through the media.
On Monday, Joel DeSpain, spokesman for the Madison Police Department, said that police "released information on this case as quickly as we had sufficient facts."

Ah, the joys of brunch! Sunday brunch is my favorite meal of the week and there are several special menus to choose from in the Bodega Bay area this weekend. I was initially leaning toward our local favorite, the Bluewater Bistro. Their Mother's Day Brunch looks FABULOUS, but it's a fixed buffet and my kids don't eat much. Another of our family's favorites is Rocker Oysterfeller's in nearby Valley Ford. Their Mother's Day menu is a la carte so that might be a better fit this time.
Here are three menus to whet your appetite, you can click to enlarge them.
The Bluewater Bistro's brunch buffet looks amazing. Chef Patrick uses the freshest, local ingredients and always does an outstanding job. I know everything will be delicious. The Bluewater Bistro has gorgeous views of Doran Beach, Bodega Head and the ocean. They're offering complimentary sparkling wine with each meal.
Quoting from Rocker Oysterfeller's website: Rocker's will be offering an a la carte menu to entice mom's palate this Mother's Day. The local bounty of spring ingredients in Sonoma County as well as some of Mom's favorite dishes inspire the menu. Live flamenco guitar will be played by musician Alfreo Caceres on the rear patio.
The bar will offer specialty cocktails infused with seasonal ingredients as well as Rocker's Bloody Marys, Mimosas, Ramos Gin Fizzes and Champagne Cocktails. All will be available on the sunny back patio and a pack of seeds for Mom's spring flower garden will accompany the check.
The Bay View Restaurant is part of The Inn at the Tides complex, but on the upper side of Hwy. 1. It's a lovely place with a piano, fireplace, and beautiful views of the harbor. They're offering complimentary mimosas with each meal.
Additional options: Terrapin Creek Cafe does not serve brunch but they are open for lunch on Sundays 11:00 am-2:30 pm and the Sandpiper Restaurant serves breakfast daily starting at 8:00 a.m.
Also Gourmet Au Bay wine bar in Bodega Bay will be offering half-price mimosas, and classical guitarist Dan Dewitt will perform on the wine deck from 3:00-5:00 p.m.
Happy Mother's Day and bon appetit!

"We believe he was high on something," said Robert Bolcik, sheriff.
An arrest warrant has been issued for Gabriel Whittaker, 37, for terroristic threat and family violence. Bolcik said more charges could come later.
The Refugio County Sheriff's Department was dispatched to Keller Road where they found Whittaker's house destroyed and his wife terrorized, according to investigator Gary Wright with the sheriff's department.
"He tore up the house," Wright said. "He turned over the refrigerator and stove, knocked out every window in the house, broke every mirror and tore down a ceiling fan and left in the vehicle."
Before leaving the home, he allegedly threatened his 31-year-old wife with a gun that officers later found inside the home.
While the deputies were still on the scene in Tivoli, a fire was reported in the Austwell area.
"Chief Arnulfo Perez had to pull his fire crew away from the fire because the odor of ammonia was so strong," Bolcik said.
The odor led officers to believe that chemicals to produce drugs may have caused the explosion in the vehicle.
A state fire marshal will bring a canine to the county later this week to see if an accelerant was inside the vehicle.
Whittaker is believed to have jammed a metal pipe to the gas pedal and then jumped out before it crashed into a ravine and exploded.
"Broken glass was found in the front passenger area we believe is a glass jar that may have contained acetone or ammonia," Bolcik.
Bolcik said these chemicals are used to make meth.

Lets hope Melo doesn't do a diappearing act today...it is a day game...hoping other guys step up today. We need to go on a winning streak
D'Antoni isn't going to be as stupid as Steve Clifford was and not double Melo. No way D'antoni let's Melo beat the Lakers someone else is going to have to step up. Tyler should be the big off the bench, Aldrich is a stiff.
Dont under estimate Aldrich or Tyler .. they add something different, our scouting report on ISO-Melo has been our down fall. Aldrich & Tyler rebouding has given the Bobcats & Lakers one shot. Plus their big bodies allow us to get offensive rebounds.
Lets see if Dantoni got our number ??????
Jordan Hill vs Melo .. Ill wait till the 4th qtr. to see that show-down.
SMH why's this JR Smith joke still gettin PT
Wow .. Woodson's not going to get any chemistry coaching like this ......
The Lakers no-defense are playing 12 sec or less on offense
We need to pull out a win here. Other than Pau the Lakers are a bunch of no name DLeaguers, we should not be down by 4 at the half. Melo's great day on Friday will be a waste if this is a loss.
Anyone on this team not named T-Hard wanna help Melo win this game?
bahahaha that defense... good lord
THJ for 3 .. this guy is a offensive-weapon, only played 8 minutes in the first half

Black Hole Happenings
Over the last few days and the last couple blog posts I became worried about my friend, Jeff. No matter how I tried to reason with him, it seemed as though my proffered logic went in his ears but nothing coherent came back out. I couldn't understand why all I heard was a pulsating message, "The Tigers will lose."
However, I had some time to ponder these events today and I realized that I needed to think bigger than just some perceived personal slight. And as I started to assemble the pieces a horrible truth slowly dawned on me. Jeff's head has turned into a black hole.
It all makes sense. All those hours watching the MLB Network. All those baseball statistics. The Cardinals 2006 World Series win. As all of these elements slowly expanded Jeff's head, it was inevitable that a point of no return would come and the laws of physics would demand a reckoning. That day has come. Maybe it was a reanalysis of the Cardinals probable opening day pitching rotation. Maybe it was a second look at last year's AL Central standings followed by a reassessment of this year's predictions. Whatever it was, it was the final straw and with it, Jeff's head began to collapse inward on itself.
Black holes are dangerous things, people, and I only bring this to you because I care about Jeff and don't want him to hurt anyone. Just remember, if you hear him saying irrational things and read more of his illogical arguments, it is not Jeff the man doing it. It's Jeff the black hole. And, as we all know, what happens in a black hole SHOULD stay in a black hole. Apparently this one has wi-fi in it, though.

Alan Send Jeff down to Florida for the Rays vesus Mariners game on May 15th and he can jump around singing St Louis mega-booster Nelly as he performs onstage.
I would think he knows all the words to "batter Up" from his first album.
But maybe there is an epidemic heading towards the St. Louis side of the Mississippi River with undying optimism and hope…..I know it flowed all the way down here to Florida and everyone is drinking the water in Jupiter right now.
Rays Renegade
If he doesn't have plumes of gas shooting out of his ears…his head isn't a black hole. However, if he is still suffering with that crush he has on Jenna Fischer, that could explain things for you and perhaps maybe his head should collapse on itself. Worth looking into?
Allen – hasn't your mother ever told you to not kick a man while he's down? Yes his mind MAY be a black hole, but he might be right that the Tigers will lose. Don't count on his thoughts as "irrational" just yet.
He's already thinking that the Tigers will lose? If he said the Royals will lose, that's a different story. ANd good thinking with the black hole theory.
A good rivalry is always fun…even if it involves black holes ;O) All we can do is wait and see how the season goes!

December 4, 2013 —
Twenty years ago, the world lost one of the most renowned ornithologists and one of the greatest field biologists of the 20th century. Ted Parker died at the age of 40 in a plane crash while pursuing what he loved most—the study of South America's birds. In his honor, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology (CLO) is offering a free digital download of his recordings from "Voices from the Peruvian Rainforest" (available at tinyurl.com/peruvianrainforest).
A member of the CLO's administrative board, Parker pushed for a stronger emphasis on conservation and was influential in shaping its vision and direction.
Although Parker spent most of his adult life in tropical rainforests in Peru, Brazil, Bolivia and Ecuador, this accomplished naturalist was raised in Lancaster, PA, where his love of birds began.
As a child, he spent countless hours exploring the natural environments around his home. An avid birder in elementary school, he continued to hone his skills of observation and tallied 627 species in his last semester of high school and first semester of college, breaking a prior record of 598 species.
Parker made high-quality sound recordings of wildlife wherever he traveled, keeping meticulous field notes as well. "He had a phenomenal ability to remember wildlife sounds and could instantly identify more than 4,000 bird species by their songs alone," wrote Tim Gallagher, editor of CLO's "Living Bird" magazine.
"Ted was a vital contributor to the Cornell Lab's Macaulay Library (then called the Library of Natural Sounds) and helped build this sound archive into the world-class collection that it is today, adding some 10,000 recordings to the collection, representing more than 2,000 species of birds, mammals, and amphibians."
Despite his short lifespan, Parker accomplished a great deal due to his intense focus and commitment. Following his research in the Madidi region of Bolivia, he urged the president to preserve that region due to its being one of the most biologically diverse areas in the world. As a result, 4.5 million acres of tropical wilderness were set aside to establish Madidi National Park.
Describing Parker's death as a staggering loss to the conservation community that can still be felt today, the Cornell Lab has launched a special effort to pay the cost of shipping Parker's bird sound guides to schoolchildren and conservationists in Latin America and the Caribbean (visit bitly/18RJ8ma).

Shadowbox Live's musicals seem to fare best when the troupe is elevating something a little bit absurd to begin with, like recent smash "Reefer Madness."
Taking on something as pedigreed as "Chicago" — winner of six Tony awards and an Oscar-winning film adaptation — seems like a bit of a risk, but the show is still just about two unrepentant murderers in 1920s Chicago, a narrative that fits right into Shadowbox's wheelhouse.
Stacie Boord and Amy Lay are magnificent as Velma Kelly and Roxie Hart, respectively, but the edge may have to go to Boord. The sad desperation that accompanies songs like "I Can't Do It Alone" and "When Velma Takes the Stand" are a joy to watch, even as Velma breaks under Roxie's rising notoriety.
JT Walker III brings smarmy bravado to Roxie's lawyer Billy Flynn. When trying to gain some sympathy from prospective jurors, Billy uses a bit of brilliant verbal gymnastics to convince Roxie's dolt of a husband (Robbie Nance) that he should divorce her even though he still loves her.
Co-directors Stev Guyer and Julie Klein deserve a lot of credit for their staging of two showstopper numbers. The first, "The Cell Block Tango," is a dimly-lit retelling of six murders, and bonus points go out to Anita McFarren for bringing the Hungarian to Hunyak.
The second, "We Both Reached for the Gun," has Billy putting his own words into Roxie (Lay is perfect here as his puppet) as he persuades the press that she's repentant and not just another cold-blooded murderer.

BSC's John Cardwell Named "Anderson-Milam Award" Recipient at WVACRAO Conference
CreatedThursday, October 27 2011
Created byJim Nelson/Media Relations - (304) 327-4103 email@example.com
(Bluefield)—Bluefield State College administrator John Cardwell received the "Anderson-Milam Award" at the West Virginia Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers' (WVACRAO) annual conference in Morgantown.
The Anderson-Milam award recognizes the distinguished service rendered by an individual who has made significant contributions to WVACRAO. The award was created to commemorate the services of Douglas Anderson, former Registrar at West Virginia State College, and Otis Milam, former Registrar at Fairmont State.
Cardwell, BSC's Vice President for Student Affairs and Enrollment Management, has been an active WVACRAO member for more than 20 years and has served the state organization in a variety of capacities, including president and special projects chair. He has also served on several national committees within AACRAO and currently represents the state of West Virginia as its ACT representative to the national Board of Directors of that organization.
Cardwell was also selected, in 1994, as WVACRAO's "Rick Snow Award" recipient. The Rick Snow award was established to honor distinguished young professionals in Admissions, Records, or Enrollment Management who have made significant contributions to WVACRAO. The award was established in honor of the late Rick Snow, the former Registrar/Director of Admissions at Bluefield State College who befriended and mentored many new admissions and records professionals through the years.
"This is a great honor;" Cardwell said. "I am humbled to be chosen for this prestigious award. " He continued "I enjoy what I do and this association has provided so much to its members to help us grow professionally. This is truly a capstone to my career in West Virginia higher education."

I would really love to hear people's success stories with pharmeceutical galactagogues. Amount taken, increase in production, how much you pump in a day, etc.
I am thinking of talking to my doc about one of the two common ones to see what she thinks.
I really hate pumping and I am hoping to boost my supply enough to actually freeze some and thereby stomp pumping earlier than I would otherwise. Has anyone else done this?
Right now I only pump about 1/3 of what my daughter needs. I am so sad about that. I would love to be able to giver her breast milk exclusively and secondly to stop pumping earlier.
Thanks for you thoughts!!

LAKE HUNTINGTON, NY — There were smiles, hugs and laughter among the players. There were tears of joy shed by parents and friends. And there were words of praise and affirmation from coaches including those from the opposing team. But above all, there was a great sense of pride after Sullivan West, in the midst of its most disappointing season in recent memory, found the heart, the grit and the wherewithal to stand its ground on Homecoming and Senior Night to defeat two-time Section Nine Class C Champion James I. O'Neill 26-25. In a game defined by four iconic defensive milestones as well as the offensive moxie to score four TDs against the talented Raiders, Sullivan West revealed its true colors for the first time this season.
Behind the league loss two weeks ago to Liberty that barred Sullivan West from returning to the playoffs and last week's disappointing meltdown that prevented a potential win over Class B Highland, many figured O'Neill to be the next team to hand the Bulldogs more heartache. O'Neill ousted Sullivan West 39-14 in last year's semifinal playoff tilt. But the Westies rose to the occasion, showing pride and perseverance even though their postseason aspirations were already by the boards. For seniors Zach O'Connor, Cody Franskevicz, Travis Roeder, Jared Meola, Jacob Murphy and Devin Mirch, who were honored before the game, this final contest on their home field was a special occasion, and each and every one of them left his imprint on the hallowed outcome. After the introduction of the seniors Assistant Principal Scott Haberli then crowned Joe Campanelli and Kelsey Brockner as this year's Homecoming King and Queen. Sullivan West overcame a 13-0 deficit to tie O'Neill by halftime.
The Raiders were missing their talented quarterback/safety Keegan West, who had suffered a broken thumb and torn ligaments in a losing effort to Burke a week ago. The maroon tide was vying to halt a rare two-game losing streak. Thanks to the Dawgs, that streak now stands at three. The Westies got three TDs from quarterback Richard Shevak and one from senior Jared Meola, as well as timely pass receptions from Brian Stauch, Cody Franskevicz and Zach O'Connor. But it was the defense that deserved even more kudos as it forced a fumble at the Dawgs' one yard-line by Raider standout Malik Chambers, which was pounced on by Mirch. O'Connor also halted an earlier two-point conversion try by Chambers that might have been the difference maker.
A great late interception by Stauch stymied another O'Neill comeback effort. By far the biggest stand of the night came after O'Neill scored a shocking, late TD on a halfback option pass to close within 26-25. The Raiders lined up for the two-point conversion in an attempt to author a come-from-behind win, but Sullivan West dug in for its biggest stop of the season and halted Chambers in his tracks to stave off defeat.
The story on www.sportsinsightsny.com [1] entitied, "Enshrined In Memory," gives the details of the unforgettable night and its aftermath. Earlier in the week at the OCL Cross-County Divisional IV Championships, Sullivan West took first, second and third, with inspiring runs by Corrine VanWagner (19:58), Kelsey Dutton (20:09) and Courtney Meyerer (20:17). Newcomer Ethan Seidl (17:29) was third in the boys race. Eldred eighth-grader Kayla Maas (23:49) topped the girls in Division V. Tri-Valley won the boys and girls teams titles. Sullivan West volleyball seniors Kelsey Brockner, Morganne Brooks and Skye Feinman were honored before their final home match. In soccer the boys and girls had night game, senior night contests against Liberty. The boys fell to the Indians 3-0, but the girls played an inspiring overtime game as they battled the Lady Indians for 100 minutes to a scoreless tie. That tie propelled Liberty to the sectionals as they finished their league record with a .500 mark. Sullivan West senior soccer players honored included Gavin Owen, Owen Andrews, Jasmine Davis, Marianne Durkin, Krysten Herbert, Sienna Klaber, Jasmina Mujanovic, Hayley Puerschner, Heather Sattler, Sydney Sipple and Kat Sosa.

text: A plethora of excellent standup will be represented when the Deathsquad Comedy Show hits Columbus this Saturday. The tour brings Brandon Walsh, Doug Benson, Columbus native Brian Redban, and Tony Hinchcliffe to Woodlands Tavern. Benson is best known for The Marijuana-Logues, the documentary "Super High Me" — stoners in the front — and his podcast Doug Loves Movies — cinema geeks in the back. While Benson will surely make jokes about weed, his act has more substance than just illegal substances. Redban is co-host and producer of Joe Rogan's podcast, but his finest contribution to society is filming Rogan's infamous confrontation of "alleged" joke thief Carlos Mencia. Redban's raunchy comedy is can't miss hilarious. Walsh is one of the brightest up-and-coming acts around, and is the comedian I'm most excited to check out. I'm not very familiar with Hinchcliffe, but if he's rolling with these three he's got to be funny.

Data Security | News
A university in West Virginia has gone public with its use of a cloud-based security gateway from OpenDNS. West Liberty University has adopted OpenDNS' Umbrella to help secure the online activities of the institution's 2,800 students and 430 faculty and staff members.
"Since we deployed OpenDNS, our network administrator responsible for security has spent zero time on malware and botnet remediation," said Chief Technology Officer James Clark. "Instead of disinfecting machines, we are able to implement and manage an array of leading-edge programs, applications, and services that support students, classrooms, and faculty research. OpenDNS Umbrella has paid for itself many times over."
The university chose Umbrella to replace a legacy security appliance after a botnet infection on campus required IT to clean up multiple machines. OpenDNS uses analytics pulled from its customer installations to try to identify threats before they show up on the network. "Umbrella provides a fine-grained data filter between us and the bad guys wanting to take us down. It keeps us protected from the nasty malware and botnets," said Clark.

Shumlin open' to discussion on marijuana legalizationBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | September 04,2013In the wake of a federal memorandum that appears to condone the legalization of marijuana in Colorado and Washington state, Gov. Peter Shumlin said hes open to further discussion about instituting similar laws here.
The Justice Department issued a long-awaited directive last week that outlines a hands-off approach for dealing with producers and sellers of marijuana in states that have legalized the plant, as long as those states have put in place a strong and effective state regulatory system.
Shumlin, a longtime proponent of cannabis reform, signed into law earlier this year the decriminalization legislation that he spent years pushing through the Statehouse. Just two months after that law took effect, the second-term Democrat said hes ready to talk about going further.
I applaud the Department of Justice for being more clear about how theyre going to enforce legislative issues of small amounts of marijuana, Shumlin said Tuesday. And I am open to a further discussion in Vermont about what makes the most sense for this state.
Shumlin hasnt sought to bring the issue to the fore, and his comments about marijuana Tuesday came in response to questions from reporters at a news conference on an unrelated issue.
But the politically astute governor also hasnt shied away from the issue. As Seven Days reported in August, Shumlin is scheduled to participate in a fundraising conference call later this month with the Marijuana Policy Project, a national outfit pushing for legalization. The subject of the call: to discuss our strategy for legalizing marijuana nationwide over the next four years.
During the debate over decriminalization, Shumlin said legalization would fly too aggressively in the face of federal statutes that now classify marijuana as a Schedule I narcotic with no medicinal value. In light of the new Justice stance, however, Shumlin said hes ready to talk legalization.
We are losing the battle in Vermont on opiates, prescription drugs, heroin and other drugs that are ravaging our communities, driving crime and destroying families, Shumlin said. And I think its smart to continue to look at how were spending our law enforcement dollars, and what makes the most sense when it comes to small amounts of marijuana.
Shumlin said hed corresponded recently with Commissioner of Public Safety Keith Flynn about the Justice memo.
We both received the same email giving us the update (from the Department of Justice), and I think our reaction was, Lets talk more about this in the future, Shumlin said.
Vermonts first medical marijuana dispensaries began selling cannabis retail to eligible customers earlier this year, and the decriminalization law which did away with criminal sanctions for possession of 1 ounce or less of marijuana and replaced them with a $300 civil fine became effective July 1. Shumlin said both laws have been going well so far.
He wouldnt give a timeline Tuesday for when hed like to see legalization considered in Montpelier, but he said he doesnt want to wait too long.
I think we should learn from Washington and from Colorado, Shumlin said. But I dont think we should let them get too far ahead of us.
He said Vermont should watch how those states handle their legalization experiment, so we can poach from them in the future.
Asked Tuesday whether he is open to a conversation about legalization, House Speaker Shap Smith, a longtime opponent of decriminalization who reluctantly allowed the issue to come to a vote on the floor during the last legislative session, said, I dont think its a priority of the Legislature next year.
Asked whether it would be a priority in 2015, Smith said its too early to say.
We have to go through an election cycle before we decide what those priorities are, Smith said. And there is no guarantee I will be re-elected, so I cant say.

lmao great movie though, I loved this flick. I'm a bit of a Kubrick obsessive myself, particularly when it comes to The Shining, took a course just focussing on Stan back in film school. So it's a real blast to watch even if some of the theories are seriously reaching (but in an entertaining way). I used to get stoned and think about the Freudian implications and hypnotic visuals, but these guys take it to a whole new, amazingly nutty level. You might be bored by it if you haven't seen The Shining a hell of a lot of times. My favorite bit is probably the whole thing about him creating impossible spaces within the map of the hotel, like the window behind Ullman in his office, or just scratching my head at the strange continuity errors (Kubrick was such a perfectionist it's hard to imagine him making some of these mistakes, like the changing typewriter). As outlandish as some of the theories are Kubrick was undoubtedly a genius, and it's a testament to his genius that his work, intentionally or otherwise, lends itself to so many interesting and varied interpretations.

The office scene is so dope, but after seeing the weird documentary--the cooler scene kind of got to me. I caught on to Kubrick early. It's just the obsessive compulsive aspect that I love. No one captured the senses quite like him. He was a master of lighting too--something that I have no experience in, whatsoever. Total asshole, though.
Posted 28 October 2013 - 03:36 PM
Kubrick's lighting design is consistently incredible, up to and including Eyes Wide Shut. Barry Lyndon (arguably his most boring and dull movie) is worth it just for the scenes he lit exclusively by candle-light.
The notion that Danny may have opened the walk-in door and set Jack free also blew my hair back. And the Aztec sacrifice bit with Jack tumbling down the stairs.

Big fan of the movie (scariest movie I've seen) and reading the book right now for the first time. The movie/book are quite different from each other, both are great in their own way imo.

Posted 30 October 2013 - 05:23 PM
Yeah, I thought there were a good number of odd things that were cited to by the documentary. Kind of BS. But as I stated earlier--this is the kind of movie that you never want to end. So it makes sense that someone would want to continue discussing themes.
There was another video stating that Kubrik was trying to show the people that there were alien beings that were in control of the earthly populations...

Yeah def reading that right after, I've heard good things about it.

No. 1: The New Coffeemaker
Your father uses the same coffeemaker he did when you were in grade school. The filter basket is held together with duct tape. Maybe it's even an old-school percolator pot, with the bubble at the top that shows what color the coffee is -- or it used to before it became so filmed over by years of deposits that now it looks like a blob of amber.
This does in no way mean that your father needs or wants a new coffeemaker. Your well-meaning purchase of a Keurig, a Tassimo or some other exotic robot-like java machine will not only be unappreciated, it might actually cause you to collect your inheritance early.
Picture this: Your sleep-fogged dad stumbles into the kitchen, just enough neurons firing to get him through the coffee preparation routine he's followed for the last 40 years. Instead of his trusty Mr. Coffee, he's faced with something that demands insertion of a coffee pod, selection of brew strength and various other types of programming.
He misses his coffee, tries to drive to work anyway and, well, you can guess the rest.

Laurier receives prestigious CCAE national award
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Jun 5/14
Wilfrid Laurier University and its Development & Alumni Relations team have won a gold medal from the Canadian Council for the Advancement of Educations (CCAE) annual Prix dExcellence awards program. The award was announced this week at the CCAE National Conference in Edmonton, Alberta.
Laurier won top honours in the Best Use of Social Media category for its Like where in the Laurier world are you? contest.
The initiative was led by Communications Officer (Alumni) Jordan Jocius with support from Acting Associate Director, Annual Giving, Beth Noble.
The goal of the campaign was to use social media to find lost alumni for whom the university had no contact information. The focus was primarily on alumni living outside of Canada.
With over 46,000 Laurier alumni using Facebook we hoped that we could use social networking service to update contact information and then share with these reconnected alumni the campus energy, alumni affairs and Laurier traditions, explained Jocius.
Targeted Facebook ads to over 85 countries encouraged alumni to visit facebook.com/LaurierAlumni and to update their contact information. Those that submitted updates were entered into a draw for a $1,000 grand prize.
The campaign exceeded all goals:
Increased Likes on facebook.com/LaurierAlumni by 1,360, which was a 272-per-cent increase over the goal of 500 Likes. The most successful post had a Facebook reach of over 33,910 people.
One of the priorities of our team in Development & Alumni Relations is to foster lifelong relationships with alumni, said Vice-President Rob Donelson. Maintaining accurate contact information is an ongoing challenge. Leveraging technology to connect with alumni helps us to manage costs and find new ways to engage this very important group.
CCAEs Prix d'Excellence is a national annual awards program which recognizes outstanding achievement in alumni affairs, public affairs, communications, marketing, development, advancement services, stewardship, student recruitment and overall institutional advancement.

Leahy and Welch highlight Vt. student aid groupFebruary 03,2014
The Associated Press
WINOOSKI -- The Vermont Student Assistance Corporation is going to be able to continue to service education loans for Vermonters.
U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy and U.S. Rep. Peter Welch visited VSAC headquarters in Winooski on Monday where they highlighted the role the nonprofit student lender plays in providing Vermonters the resources they need to pursue higher education.
Leahy and Welch say a provision in an early budget agreement, passed in December, could have affected VSAC by removing a requirement that the Department of Education contract with nonprofit student loan servicers.
The appropriations bill, signed into law by President Barack Obama last month will also increase funding levels for some VSAC programs while also increasing the maximum award for Pell Grants.MORE IN This Just InWASHINGTON The House on Thursday cleared bills to keep the government running through April and...

Local developers purchase steel property
The failed effort led by New York billionaire Ira Rennert to operate a network of steel mills, including the more than 100-year old Wheeling Corrugating operations in Beech Bottom, took another unique turn this week when ownership of the more than 600-acre site came to rest in the hands of area business and development leaders.
It came about, however, only after a Los Angeles-based international real estate investment company, led by Columbus native and Ohio State University graduate Michael Hackman, was brought into the deal.
When contacted last week by The Times Leader about the transaction and plans for re-development of the prime property, which rests between the Ohio River and direct access to the major transportation artery known as W.Va. Rt. 2, executives with the Los Angeles office of Hackman Capital Partners LLC confirmed they were unable to provide details of the deal at that point.
The highly complex structure of the deal had included numerous non-disclosure agreements which were only considered relaxed after certain transaction details were addressed Wednesday, according to several Hackman executives.
Hackman remains involved in the deal.
Executives there confirmed they plan to provide access to a well established and financially solid network of potential customers, providing a platform with worldwide reach.
The exploding presence of energy related businesses in the local region proved to be the key to reconnecting control of the business conducted on this more than half-mile long section of riverfront section to area developers, particularly those whose business interests stem from development of the massive resources only now being able to be tapped from within the Marcellus and Utica Shale plays.
The opportunity to put control of the property – particularly a large section of about 150 acres of prime level ground into the hands of local business development leaders was simply too good to pass up, according to Paul Ford, the man behind the complex deal.
Ford said he considered the property and its highly desirable access to major transportation options of both river transport via the Ohio River and its immediate access to major highways in three states, made it too important to ignore – particularly because of the influx and coming needs of the oil and gas industries.
Ownership of the property is now officially in the hands of the local developers via the effort being led by Ford through the Business Development Corporation of the Northern Panhandle.

54-29-11 (.633) mark over past five seasons
PELLA—Central College will open Iowa Conference soccer tournament play Saturday. The women will host Simpson College at 1 p.m. at the A.N. Kuyper Athletics Complex soccer field in Pella while the men will face Luther College at 7 p.m. in Decorah.
The Dutch women (11-5-2) carry the No. 4 seed while Simpson (9-8) is seeded fifth. Saturday's winner advances to meet top-seeded Loras College (15-4) at 5 p.m. Wednesday in Dubuque.
Central's men (7-9-2) are seeded sixth while Luther (10-5-2) is the No. 3 seed. The winner will take on second-seeded University of Dubuque (11-5-1) Wednesday at 7 p.m. in Dubuque.
The single-elimination tournaments continue through Saturday, Nov. 3. The champions gain the league's automatic berth in the NCAA Division III tournaments. The men's and women's fields will both be announced Nov. 5, with the women at 1 p.m. and the men at 1:30 p.m.
Women continue to climb—Central is making its second straight appearance in the league tournament after a three-year absence. The Dutch, who are 3-7 in tournament action, also faced Simpson in the opening-round last year and were defeated 1-0. When the two teams met earlier this season, Central notched a goal in the 5th minute and held on for a 1-0 victory.
The Dutch have been attacking the school record book all year. The squad posted a school-record six-game win streak from Sept. 12-22 and later tied the consecutive shutouts mark with three clean sheets against Simpson, Buena Vista and William Penn. The Dutch are one shutout away from the season record of eight. Central's 11 wins is the second-highest win total in the program's history. The most season victories was 12 in 1999.
Men riding wave of momentum—The Dutch locked up the last spot in the league tournament with a 6-0 rout against Coe College Tuesday. Central is 3-9-3 is tournament action and is making its 11th straight appearance and 12th overall. The Dutch advanced to the semifinals last year, upsetting Simpson 5-0 before falling to Loras 2-0. Central last met Luther in 2010 and knocked of the Norse 1-0. When the squads met earlier this season, Dutch forward Ralph Palmeri (senior, St. Charles, Ill., Marmion Academy) landed a corner kick into the top of the goal for 1-0 decision.
Central has posted four shutouts this year and four matches have either ended in a draw or been determined by one goal. Everyone is a threat for the Dutch as 12 different players have scored goals this season.

Some valuable jewelry was saved from incineration thanks to an Inver Grove Heights trash hauler.
Todd O'Connor got a call from home base at Troje's Trash Thursday after an Inver Grove Heights woman contacted the company in desperation. She had accidentally discarded a suitcase that contained her sentimental jewelry.
O'Connor drove to the unloading area and used a hockey stick to sort through six tons of trash collected at 300 stops. Luckily the suitcase was bright orange, so it was easier to spot. O'Connor tells KMSP-TV he was surprised it only took 10 to 15 minutes to find the suitcase contained the jewelry.
He says had the woman placed her call a few hours later, the suitcase would have been on a conveyor belt headed for the incinerator.

|Outside the house on Matney Way, circa 1924
Uncle David Keyes, Gail Sigford, Ruth Sigford
The house on Matney Road burned to the ground in about 1923; my mother was just 4 years old at the time. Nearly seventy years later, she shared her memories of that old house :
"The house on Matney Way burned to the ground, probably in late summer or early autmn of 1923, when Gail [her younger sister] was a baby, well perhaps more of a toddler. I remember my mother carrying a baby out of the house in her arms while the house was burning. We lost almost everything in this fire. My mother saved her round topped trunk where she kept all of her treasures. No one was died in the fire and we still had our cows, car, buggy and Nell [the horse]. That was the only house that my parents ever owned."
Even though I never saw this house, it looms large in my memory for many of the treasured family pictures of my mother's family were taken when they lived there.

Single-payer advocates offer slate of taxes to pay for itBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | December 11,2012MONTPELIER A group that helped build the political will for single-payer health care in Vermont has issued a report telling elected officials how to pay for it.
The Health Care is a Human Right Campaign unveiled a 17-page proposal Monday in which it identifies a combination of income and payroll taxes as the most equitable means of financing the new system. More a conceptual framework than a solid proposal the report doesnt estimate overall system costs or calculate the dollar value of the new revenue streams the report says its blend of financing options would place the lions share of the financial burden on those best able to afford it.
And thats been one of the key principles from the beginning, said James Haslam, director of the Vermont Workers Center, which oversees the campaign. The Shumlin administration is doing all the work to figure out how much its going to cost, and were essentially saying this is the most equitable way to come up with the money.
Administration Secretary Jeb Spaulding said he was impressed with what he called a very well-written report. It will be a helpful document as the dialogue on how to pay for single-payer takes place in the coming months and years, Spaulding said.
As to the specific proposal, which would use a mix of corporate and personal income taxes, combined with a progressive payroll tax, Spaulding said, In general they make a strong case.
There is no question that the income tax is, in a sense, the most fair way to raise money, Spaulding said. And I think you also have to balance that with some other things so that we dont overwhelm any particular revenue source. So a balancing test is also going to be required.
Act 48, the single-payer law that charts the states course toward a publicly financed, universal system of care, calls on the Shumlin administration to propose a means of funding the plan by Jan. 15. Shumlin, however, has said that the timing was probably a mistake.
I pushed for that language because I wanted to get it done by 2015, Shumlin said during an appearance on The Mark Johnson Show on Oct. 31. In fairness to legislative leadership, they said youre not going to be able to do it by then. And it was probably a mistake on my part to make it that specific.
Now that hes come to terms with the fact that Vermont wont obtain the federal waivers it needs to proceed with single-payer until 2017, he said his administration wont recommend a financing plan until 2015 at the earliest.
As for Act 48, the 2010 law that requires the administration to deliver to lawmakers a financing plan next month, Shumlin said, We will comply with the law.
But we will not be ready for prime time, Shumlin told Johnson.
Spaulding said Monday that he doesnt expect the Legislature to spend much time debating the merits of specific financing options next year.
But John Franco, a Burlington lawyer who worked as a paid consultant for the Shumlin administrations health care team in 2010, said he thinks the legislative debate should begin in earnest in January. Franco is a longtime health care policy analyst but doesnt currently have an official role with those working on the issue.
We need to start having this discussion now, Franco said. Theres this desire to kick the can down the road for another biennium and not even have a discussion about what were doing. Thats not good policy, and its not fair to the people of Vermont.
Franco said the proposal from the Health Care is a Human Right Campaign would result in a catastrophic dislocation of the economy. He said a successful public financing plan would need to come up with the $1.7 billion that employers and individuals currently pay for private health insurance (that figure will rise as health care costs inflate between now and 2017).
In 2010, Franco said, Vermonts income tax raised just shy of $500 million.
So think about what youre going to have to do to income taxes to get anywhere close to that $1.7 billion figure, Franco said Monday.
Not only is the plan not remotely viable politically, Franco said, but it takes a financial burden currently shouldered by employers and places it on the backs of working Vermonters.
Haslam said the progressive payroll tax to be assessed only on employers and not workers would take some pressure off the income tax. He said the plan envisions ways to tweak the tax code on corporate income so as to capture more money from large companies.
The plan also aims to tax not just income but wealth i.e., the dollar value of personal assets and would raise about $31 million annually by ending favorable tax treatment for investment income. The Health Care is a Human Right Campaign also rejects the use of any user fees, like copays, deductibles or premiums, to help pay for the system.
The Shumlin administration inked a $300,000 contract with the University of Massachusetts Medical School this summer to help devise a series of financing options. The administration will present a report to lawmakers Jan. 15.

The God glutDecember 12,2012Bob Kerreys political career spanned four years as the governor of Nebraska and another 12 as a United States senator from that state, during which he made a serious bid for the Democratic presidential nomination. In all that time, to the best of his memory, he never uttered what has become a routine postscript to political remarks: God bless America.
That was deliberate.
It seems a little presumptuous, when youve got the land mass and the talent that we do, to ask for more, he told me recently.
But there was an additional reason he didnt mention God, so commonly praised in the halls of government, so prevalent a fixture in public discourse.
I think you have to be very, very careful about keeping religion and politics separate, Kerrey said.
We Americans arent careful at all. In a country that supposedly draws a line between church and state, we allow the former to intrude flagrantly on the latter. Religious faith shapes policy debates. It fuels claims of American exceptionalism.
And it suffuses arenas in which its place should be carefully measured. A recent example of this prompted my conversation with Kerrey. Last week, a fourth-year cadet at West Point packed his bags and left, less than six months shy of graduation, in protest of what he portrayed as a bullying, discriminatory religiousness at the military academy, which receives public funding.
The cadet, Blake Page, detailed his complaint in an article for The Huffington Post, accusing officers at the academy of unconstitutional proselytism, specifically of an evangelical Christian variety.
On the phone on Sunday, he explained to me that a few of them urged attendance at religious events in ways that could make a cadet worry about the social and professional consequences of not going. One such event was a prayer breakfast this year at which a retired lieutenant general, William G. Boykin, was slated to speak. Boykin is a born-again Christian, and his past remarks portraying the war on terror in holy and biblical terms were so extreme that he was rebuked in 2003 by President George W. Bush. In fact his scheduled speech at West Point was so vigorously protested that it ultimately had to be canceled.
Page said that on other occasions, religious events were promoted by superiors with the kind of mass emails seldom used for secular gatherings.
It was always Christian, Christian, Christian, said Page, who is an atheist.
Mikey Weinstein, an Air Force Academy graduate who presides over an advocacy group called the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, told me that more than 30,000 members of the United States military have been in contact with his organization because of concerns about zealotry in their ranks.
More than 150 of them, he said, work or study at West Point. Several cadets told me in telephone interviews that nonbelievers at the academy can indeed be made to feel uncomfortable, and that benedictions at supposedly nonreligious events refer to God, Our Father in a way that certainly doesnt respect all faiths.
Is the rest of society so different?
Every year around this time, many conservatives rail against the war on Christmas, using a few dismantled nativities to suggest that America muffles worship.
Hardly. We have God on our dollars, God in our pledge of allegiance, God in our Congress. Last year, the House took the time to vote, 396 to 9, in favor of a resolution affirming In God We Trust as our national motto. How utterly needless, unless I missed some insurrectionist initiative to have that motto changed to Buck Up, Beelzebub or Surrender Dorothy.
We have God in our public schools, a few of which cling to creationism, and we have major presidential candidates Rick Perry, Michele Bachmann, Rick Santorum who use God in general and Christianity in particular as cornerstones of their campaigns. Gods initial absence from the Democratic Party platform last summer stirred more outrage among Americans than the slaughter in Syria will ever provoke.
Gods wishes are cited in efforts to deny abortions to raped women and civil marriages to same-sex couples. In our country God doesnt merely have a place at the table. He or She is the host of the prayer-heavy dinner party.
And theres too little acknowledgment that God isnt just a potent engine of altruism, mercy and solace, but also, in instances, a divisive, repressive instrument; that godliness isnt any prerequisite for patriotism; and that someone like Page deserves as much respect as any true believer.
Kerrey labels himself agnostic, but said that an active politician could get away with that only if he or she didnt engage in a conversation about the danger of religion or advertise any spiritual qualms and questions.
If you talk openly about your doubts, he said, you can get in trouble.
To me that doesnt sound like religious freedom at all.

June concert set at Arts Center
Caleb Karriker is a young singer/songwriter and musician who will take the stage at the Randolph County Community Arts Center's Brown Bag Concert at noon Wednesday.
A native West Virginian, Karriker splits his time between Elkins and Shepherdstown.
He has been performing professionally in West Virginia and Western Maryland since 2008, sharing his acoustic music, which he describes as "equally informed by rock sensibilities and American roots music traditions," with a variety of audiences.
Karriker has shared bills with a wide array of acts, including punk bands, acoustic rockers, old-time string bands, folk singers, dancers, a Native American flutist and even a Scottish bagpiper. In 2009, he performed on the second stage at the West Virginia Italian Heritage Festival, and more recently he landed an opening spot for the "dean of West Virginia songwriters," Todd Burge.
Karriker self-released his self-titled debut album in 2009. His recently released sophomore album titled I'll Walk is available now. Both albums can be heard at www.calebkarriker.bandcamp.com. Currently a student at Shepherd University majoring in creative writing with a minor in music, Karriker has been a member of the Shepherd University Guitar Ensemble and Marching Band. In addition to his solo work, he plays bass in the band Bad Moon.
The community is invited to bring a bag lunch and attend this free event.
The Randolph County Community Arts Center, a nonprofit organization promoting and supporting the arts in Randolph County and surrounding areas, is located at the corner of Randolph Avenue and Park Street in Elkins.

It's my first post on your website and I hope that you will be able to help me on this problem.
To save datas, I use a DAT tape. Because I am a little bit curious, I tried to read the datas with a TAR and a CPIO commands without sucess. I discovered when reading the script that the DUMP command was used. I am not a big fan of this command. I would like to read this DAT tape and not copy the datas from the DAT tape to the Hard Drive and finally be able to read them. Is there a command for that? Do you know if RESTORE can do the job?
Thank you
If you need more details just let me know

The School Library Profiles developed by the Library Research Service are meant to be used as a comparative tool for school libraries in Colorado. The results represent data received from school libraries that completed the 2009 Colorado School Library Survey. Profiles for each participating school compare individual school data with averages for schools with similar grade level and enrollment ranges. Please note that since all data were derived from responses to the survey, schools that did not respond to the survey are not represented in the Profiles.
Use the school locator (below) to find the school for which you would like to see the 2009-2010 School Library Profile. Remember, schools that did not respond to the 2009 Colorado School Library Survey will not be represented in the Profiles.
Please Note: Starting with the 2008-09 profiles, we are using medians instead of averages for the comparison groups. Medians represent the school in the middle of each statistic - i.e., there are equal numbers of schools above and below the median. For this reason, we felt this was more representative of the "typical" school than average, which can be more strongly influenced by outliers.

I am bf my 4 mo son, he eats every 4 hours. I have started pumping after his 8am feed, maybe around 8:30am... just to have extra milk in case.
This am, I only got 1/2 oz from left breast. He only fed from the right so I expected to get at least 2 oz from the other side.
Is this normal? I am using the Medela Swing pump and have been pumping on and off since he was born (4 months).
Usually I get a few oz when pumping...
