Action man, torture hero
Page Tools
Denzel Washington, action hero and torturer in Man on Fire.
The leading man as torturer and good guy? Something bad has happened in film, writes Alex Cox.
Recently I had to take a long plane journey and, though I try to avoid these things, my eye was drawn to the American films scrolling by on the seat-back televisions that surrounded me. One of the films caught my attention - first by its frenetic, jerky style, which seemed to resemble that of experimental filmmakers like Bruce Conner; and second, because it was shot in Mexico, a place where I have worked. So I waited, and when the film came round again, I watched it. It was called Man on Fire.
The film is the story of a troubled former counter-intelligence agent, played by Denzel Washington. Plagued by alcoholism and a guilty past, Denzel's character gets a job as a bodyguard for a rich little American girl, resident in Mexico City. Lengthy bonding scenes follow in which, inevitably, the hardened, world-weary, cynical bodyguard learns to love the winsome little blonde. Equally inevitably, the kid is kidnapped, and - in one of those shaky-cam deal-goes-sour-sequences - the ransom money is stolen.
After this lengthy exposition, about an hour into the picture, the little girl's parents are told their daughter is dead. And Denzel's character goes on a one-man vengeance trail against the gang that kidnapped and killed his child-friend. Up to this point Man on Fire has been visually agitated: changing styles and film stocks fast and furiously, sometimes to no clear purpose, sometimes - in the scenes of domestic panic after the kidnapping - very effectively.
About 50 minutes into his killing rampage, our man discovers - guess what? - the little girl ain't dead! I, like everyone else on that San Francisco-bound jet, already knew this. You knew it too. So did the audience, when the film first came out. No Hollywood studio would dare offend its audience's presumed sensibilities by actually bumping off an established character-kid. There are no surprises in a big-budget studio movie, especially not one from Murdoch's Fox, the lowest common denominator of them all.
I can't recall seeing other mainstream Hollywood movies in which the hero tortures people.
Man on Fire presents the discovery of the girl alive as happenstance: a fortunate byproduct of the hero's killing spree. And there we might leave it. Another bad film with a lousy script and a good actor, dependent on explosions and bodies flying through the air. If that were all that was . . . But there is more to it than that. I think the movie qualifies as something new: the first authentic American action blockbuster in which the hero doesn't just go on a killing rampage, but a torture spree as well.
Denzel Washington is one of the best American actors alive today. He generally gives great performances, and he does good work here. But he is playing a torturer. The problem is that this fine actor isn't doing a Ben Kingsley or a Laurence Olivier, portraying the torturer as villainous scumbag. This is a case of torturer-as-hero. Denzel cuts one Mexican's fingers off. He sticks an explosive device - I cannot put this delicately - up another Mexican's arse. He blows yet another hand off with a shotgun. He does this after blindfolding them with masking tape to extract information as to where their boss is. Then he kills them.
I can't recall seeing other mainstream Hollywood movies in which the hero tortures people. Certainly some of these films have had a masochistic streak: the younger Eastwood was forever being beaten up or burned alive; Mel Gibson's directorial oeuvre seems to stem from his being frequently cinematically tortured; and even Denzel was whipped within an inch of his life in the civil war saga Glory.
But actively practising torture is something else. The only prior action-torturer I can recall is Dirty Harry, the rampage-oriented cop created by John Milius under the pseudonym of "Harry Julian Fink and Rita M. Fink". Dirty, you no doubt recall, famously stamped on the injured foot of the kidnapper-killer, played by Andy Robinson, in a baseball stadium.
I need remind no one that the dirty not-so-secret of the wars on terror, Afghanistan and Iraq, has been torture. It was the dirty not-so-secret of the war on drugs in the 1990s, and the war on communism in the 1980s too. Then, as now, it was the torture of dark-skinned, foreign people, by American counter-intelligence experts. Then, as now, it was often sexualised torture, like Denzel's bomb-up-the-Mexican's-bum. Torture to extract information as to where the leaders are.
We used to all agree that this was bad, and that in paying for the murder and torture of Nicaraguan and Honduran farmers, the US had gone seriously wrong. Beginning in October 2001, Hollywood screenwriters, directors and producers, "drawn from the movie world's A-list", were invited to meetings at the Institute for Creative Technology, affiliated with the University of Southern California.
The ICT was set up in 1999 with a grant of $US50 million from the US Army to create training simulators. In the aftermath of 9/11, the A-list creatives were supposed to come up with scenarios by which terrorists might seek to attack the US. Would it be naive to question whether this was a one-way street? Or whether the Pentagon, which already maintained film liaison offices in Los Angeles, had a few ideas for the A-list talent to work on, as well?
Since 9/11 the "serious" US media have been full of opinion pieces saying we must consider employing forms of torture so as to win the war on terror. The US military and the White House aren't averse to torture, as we already know.
Man on Fire, with its American-torturer hero, appeared in the US just before the Abu Ghraib scandal broke. That, we can fairly certainly say, is a coincidence. It may be just a coincidence that Denzel's justified-man-of-action is - like George Bush - an alcoholic who gives up booze for the Bible: a stereotype so hackneyed it would have been vetoed if this were not an election year.

DL Byron make a few comments about the adoption rate of blogs in large corporations. I am amazed at the same thing myself. I find the level of adoption for blogs in medium to large size companies this year far greater than I have in any previous year. Is it year of the blog for corps? Well, D. Keith Robinson, Phil Wolff, Nick Bradbury, DL Byron and yours truly will hit on this subject and more in our SXSW pannel "Blogging for Business." We hope to see you there!

Terrific book by actor Andrew McCarthy is more than just a travelogue
The Longest Way Home
***1/2 (out of four)
Folks who watched a lot of movies in the 1980s may recall Andrew McCarthy as the charismatic star of such hits as "Pretty in Pink," "St. Elmo's Fire" and "Weekend at Bernie's."
In recent decades, however, McCarthy has emerged as an award-winning travel writer, penning pieces for National Geographic, The Atlantic and The New York Times.
Judging from his first book, this newfound success is well deserved.
Released late last year, "The Longest Way Home" is simply terrific.
I'll admit I'm a sucker for elegantly written books about little-known places; but as suggesed by McCarthy's subtitle -- "One Man's Quest for the Courage to Settle Down" -- this is more than just a travelogue.
True, he recounts lengthy sojourns at such exotic locales as the Amazon, Vienna, Costa Rica, Dublin, Patagonia and Mt. Kilimanjaro.
I didn't even know where Patagonia was. That's one thing I love about travel books; they're an excellent excuse to shed your ignorance.
Especially enchanting are McCarthy's trek across South American glaciers; his challenging ascent of Africa's highest peak; his willingness to get lost in the middle of nowhere; and the idiosyncratic people he meets -- plus the often-hopeless cars he rents and tries to drive.
One highlight is a brief episode in which the author and some fellow-travelers manage to get medical assistance for an Amazon girl with a horrific mouth-rotting disease that was slowly killing her.
(The end of her tongue had turned black and she was forced stick it out all the time -- ugh!)
But despite McCarthy's absorbing adventures, this book is really an account of his efforts to commit to marriage -- to settle down with a family and abandon his life-long independence and solitude.
The book opens with his decision to marry his long-time girlfriend and mother of one of his children (he has another from a previous marriage); yet McCarthy immediately accepts a raft of assignments that will keep him far from home for most of the ensuing year.
Both he and his fiance know that these trips express his reluctance, and that he somehow needs them to work out who he is, why he prefers to be alone and whether he can make a go of full-time family life.
In the process, McCarthy is bracingly honest about his feelings, fears and failures -- and better able than most 50-year-old men to examine what drives him, even as he wonders how healthy it is.
When the big day finally draws near, McCarthy finds himself coming round to commitment -- thanks partly to the example of his fiance's winsome Irish parents; and suddenly the book becomes a nail-biter, with the author facing several last-minute obstacles that threaten to confound the wedding.
And the end is letter perfect.
If you're a McCarthy fan or you love travel books (or if, like me, you're both), then grab this book -- and clear your schedule.

It is a peculiar one, reflecting the sway of the Greek Orthodox Church, and it is made stranger by severe overcrowding in cemeteries and a ruthlessly rapid turnover of graves.
Death is different here. A Greek's final resting place is usually not the first one. Most bodies are put into thin wooden coffins without being embalmed, then buried in a rented plot with the hope that they will be reduced to bones within three years. At that point, they are exhumed so that the space can be turned over to the next tenant, often within a day.
The exhumations must be monitored by friends or relatives, who may see something messier than a skeleton. "Because the ground here has been used so much, sometimes the body hasn't decomposed enough," said Dimitra Kollia, an administrator at the Athens First Cemetery. "That's traumatic."
That dark journey is why some Greeks say cremation must - and will - be explicitly approved by new legislation. Current law leaves the legal status of the practice ambiguous, discouraging the building of any crematoriums.
Greece, more than the other European nations that it considers its peers, teeters awkwardly between tradition and modernity, struggling for balance as it absorbs an influx of immigrants. The debate over cremation illustrates that.
Cremation advocates say that Greece's roughly 11 million people now include hundreds of thousands whose religions, like Roman Catholicism and Buddhism, allow the practice.
But the Greek Orthodox Church does not, and even today an overwhelming majority of Greeks belong to that faith.
While church leaders say they do not object to cremation for non-Orthodox Greeks, they have also expressed fears that the existence of crematoriums could give church members ideas.
So, while church leaders say they do not oppose a new law, cremation advocates say those leaders have campaigned behind the scenes against one.
At present, people who die in Greece can be cremated only in other countries, to which their bodies must be transported at a cost of thousands of dollars.
Cremation advocates say getting the ashes back to Greece can be tricky because remains are not supposed to be handled outside the country's mortuaries and cemeteries.
"I'd just pop them in my suitcase," said Susann Helms, president of the pro-cremation foundation, envisioning what she would do if her husband died before she did.
Ms Helms, 60, is Australian, while her husband, George Vlassis, 64, is Greek. They live - and could die - here. But they are prepared for post-mortem travelling if that is what it takes to get cremated.
Prime Minister Costas Simitis inflamed church leaders three years ago by ordering religious affiliation removed from the national identity cards that Greeks carry. His Government is reluctant to do battle with them again.
"The issue is a delicate one," said Vassiliki Koutsouba, chief press officer for the Ministry of the Interior, which has jurisdiction over the issue.
Mr Alakiotis, 48, also wants to be cremated, but can't accept that his body will need to be shipped away. "I think it's barbaric," he said, "to have to be a refugee in death."

Burlington to vote on Moran Plant, McNeil scrubbers
03/03/08 8:50AM By Ross Sneyd
| Download MP3
(Host) On Town Meeting Day in Burlington power plants are on the ballot. Voters are being asked to decide whether a defunct plant on the waterfront should be redeveloped or demolished.
As VPR's Ross Sneyd reports, they'll also decide whether to make the city's existing electric generator a little greener.
(Host) The Moran plant sits at the northern end of Burlington's popular downtown waterfront a remnant to the industry that once occupied these shores.
Until the plant was decommissioned in 1986, coal was burned inside this tall, L-shaped, red brick building. The burning coal turned turbines to generate electricity.
It wasn't long after the plant stopped operating that Burlington resolved years of debate about the waterfront's future. The city decided railroads, grain towers and power generation were no longer appropriate to the lakefront.
Instead, Burlington chose mostly parkland. Tuesday, voters take another stab at deciding whether the old power plant fits with that vision.
Mayor Bob Kiss and the City Council say the venerable old waterfront landmark can be renovated into a sailing center, children's museum and ice climbing facility.
(Kiss) ``So it really is a way to finish the north end of the waterfront. I see it as complementing ECHO, which is on the south end of the waterfront along with the boathouse.''
(Sneyd) ECHO is the aquarium and Lake Champlain museum that opened several years ago at the foot of College Street.
City officials see the $21 million Moran plant redevelopment as an opportunity to draw people to the lake throughout the year for recreation and culture.
But others look at the big old industrial building, and see an eyesore that doesn't fit the city's vision of itself.
The Green Democratic Alliance is a political action committee made up of Democrats, Green Party members and independents. Owen Mulligan is director and he says the group wants the Moran plant torn down.
(Mulligan) ``From what I'm seeing, most people just don't want this large, ugly building on the waterfront, even if it is redeveloped. There's other ways to draw people to the waterfront. ... I think people have to remember that green space and trees, etc. in itself is a draw and can be an economic boost.''
(Sneyd) The Moran plant's future has been debated before. Three years ago, voters rejected renovating it to house the YMCA. A year later, a majority responding to a survey said tear it down.
On Tuesday, they've got two questions to answer - renovate it for the museum and recreation, as the mayor advocates; or demolish it as the Green Democratic Alliance wants.
Those aren't the only questions on Burlington's ballot concerning the waterfront or power plants. The city's electric department wants to float nearly $40 million in bonds.
That would pay for a scrubber to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions from a power plant near the Winooski River that burns wood chips.
The money also would go toward burying a tangle of power lines on the waterfront. And it would pay for a new design to protect Burlington against power blackouts.
Mayor Kiss says the projects are vital to Burlington's future.
(Kiss) ``Talk about an economic development issue. It really does promise to give Burlington more stable power, greener power, more environmentally safe power. And it will provide security to the city in terms of potential outages.''
(Sneyd) The mayor says the Electric Department's plan is to sell renewable energy credits and invest other money that would generate enough revenue to pay off the bonds. That would mean electric rates wouldn't have to go up to make payments.
For VPR News, I'm Ross Sneyd.

Insulating A Garden Shed
Hey guys,
I have a garden shed I was wanting to convert into a man cave. It would have TV's, computers, and such. Currently it has no vents or anything and is about 12"x14. I was planning on just putting insulation in the walls and then putting plywood over it. Would I want to insulate the roof area too? Right now it gets about 110 degrees in the summer and freezing in the winter. Just kinda looking to eliminate that and get a more comfortable environment. Would it be beneficial to add vents too? Any help or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks guys.
The roof needs vents to carry away the heat from the shingles---ridge and soffit--then baffles to allow air flow above the insulation,
Won't be keepin' much heat in there in the winter without insulating the ceiling/roof. But then maybe you would like an ice cave.:)
The shed was already built when I bought the property. It seems like they made it pretty tight and boarded off the roof area pretty good so. I'm not quite sure how to do the baffling and such. Any other alternatives or idea on how to make it work? Got some pictures so you can get a general idea.

Some Reminiscences HTML version
Chapter 6
In the retrospect of a life which had, besides its preliminary stage of childhood and early
youth, two distinct developments, and even two distinct elements, such as earth and
water, for its successive scenes, a certain amount of naiveness is unavoidable. I am
conscious of it in these pages. This remark is put forward in no apologetic spirit. As years
go by and the number of pages grows steadily, the feeling grows upon one too that one
can write only for friends. Then why should one put them to the necessity of protesting
(as a friend would do) that no apology is necessary, or put, perchance, into their heads the
doubt of one's discretion? So much as to the care due to those friends whom a word here,
a line there, a fortunate page of just feeling in the right place, some happy simplicity, or
even some lucky subtlety, has drawn from the great multitude of fellow-beings even as a
fish is drawn from the depths of the sea. Fishing is notoriously (I am talking now of the
deep sea) a matter of luck. As to one's enemies, those will take care of themselves.
There is a gentleman, for instance, who, metaphorically speaking, jumps upon me with
both feet. This image has no grace, but it is exceedingly apt to the occasion--to the
several occasions. I don't know precisely how long he had been indulging in that
intermittent exercise, whose seasons are ruled by the custom of the publishing trade.
Somebody pointed him out (in printed shape, of course) to my attention some time ago,
and straightway I experienced a sort of reluctant affection for that robust man. He leaves
not a shred of my substance untrodden: for the writer's substance is his writing; the rest of
him is but a vain shadow, cherished or hated on uncritical grounds. Not a shred! Yet the
sentiment owned to is not a freak of affectation or perversity. It has a deeper, and, I
venture to think, a more estimable origin than the caprice of emotional lawlessness. It is,
indeed, lawful, in so much that it is given (reluctantly) for a consideration, for several
considerations. There is that robustness, for instance, so often the sign of good moral
balance. That's a consideration. It is not, indeed, pleasant to be stamped upon, but the
very thoroughness of the operation, implying not only a careful reading, but some real
insight into work whose qualities and defects, whatever they may be, are not so much on
the surface, is something to be thankful for in view of the fact that it may happen to one's
work to be condemned without being read at all. This is the most fatuous adventure that
can well happen to a writer venturing his soul amongst criticisms. It can do one no harm,
of course, but it is disagreeable. It is disagreeable in the same way as discovering a three-
card-trick man amongst a decent lot of folk in a third- class compartment. The open
impudence of the whole transaction, appealing insidiously to the folly and credulity of
mankind, the brazen, shameless patter, proclaiming the fraud openly while insisting on
the fairness of the game, give one a feeling of sickening disgust. The honest violence of a
plain man playing a fair game fairly--even if he means to knock you over--may appear
shocking, but it remains within the pale of decency. Damaging as it may be, it is in no
sense offensive. One may well feel some regard for honesty, even if practised upon one's
own vile body. But it is very obvious that an enemy of that sort will not be stayed by
explanations or placated by apologies. Were I to advance the plea of youth in excuse of
the naiveness to be found in these pages, he would be likely to say "Bosh!" in a column
and a half of fierce print. Yet a writer is no older than his first published book, and,

Inhaltsangabe: *Includes pictures of Porter Alexander and other Civil War generals, as well as maps of important battles.
*Includes Alexander's descriptions of important battles, including Gettysburg, and his analysis of them from his memoirs.
*Includes a Bibliography for further reading.
In the narrative of the Civil War, Edward Porter Alexander has loomed larger in death than in life. Just 25 years old when the war broke out, Porter Alexander had already served as an engineer and officer in the U.S. Army, but the native Georgian resigned his commission in May 1861 and joined the Confederacy after his home state seceded.
Porter Alexander spent 1861 as an intelligence officer, and he served as part of a signal guard, but he soon became chief of ordnance for Joseph Johnston's army near Richmond. Half a year later, Johnston would be injured during the Peninsula Campaign at the Battle of Seven Pines, after which he was replaced by Robert E. Lee. Over the course of 1862, Porter Alexander took on more roles in the Army of Northern Virginia's artillery branch, particularly under James Longstreet's 1st Corps.
Though he participated in several battles, he played his biggest role at the Battle of Gettysburg. On the third day, Lee decided to make a thrust at the center of the Union's line with about 15,000 men spread out over three divisions. Though it is now known as Pickett's Charge, named after division commander George Pickett, the assignment for the charge was given to Longstreet, whose 1st Corps included Pickett's division. Lee's decision necessitated a heavy artillery bombardment of the Union line in an attempt to knock out the Union's own artillery before beginning the charge that would cover nearly a mile of open space from Seminary Ridge to the Union line on Cemetery Ridge. Lee tasked Porter Alexander, in charge of the 1st Corps' guns, to conduct the artillery bombardment. What resulted was the largest sustained bombardment of the Civil War, with over 150 Confederate cannons across the line firing incessantly at the Union line for nearly 2 hours.
Unfortunately for Porter Alexander and the Confederates, the sheer number of cannons belched so much smoke that they had trouble gauging how effective the shells were. As it turned out, most of the artillery was overshooting the target, landing in the rear of the Union line. Reluctant to order the charge, Longstreet commanded Porter Alexander to order the timing for the charge. As Longstreet and Alexander anticipated, the charge was an utter disaster, incurring a nearly 50% casualty rate and failing to break the Union line.
Porter Alexander would continue to serve under Longstreet's corps for most of the rest of the war, and he famously suggested to Lee at Appomattox that the Confederate army should disband and melt away instead of surrender. Porter Alexander would later regret the suggestion, and Lee scolded him for it anyway.
Though he had served with distinction during the Civil War, it was Porter Alexander's memoirs that have kept his name alive today. While many prominent officers on both sides wrote memoirs, Porter Alexander's were among the most insightful and often considered by historians as the most evenhanded. With a sense of humor and a good narrative, Porter Alexander skillfully narrated the war, his service, and what he considered the successes and faults of others, including Lee, when he thought they had made good decisions or mistakes. As a result, historians continue to rely heavily on his memoirs as a source for Civil War history.
A Confederate Cannoneer at Gettysburg profiles the life, career, and legacy of the man in charge of the Confederate guns before Pickett's Charge. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about Porter Alexander like you never have before, in no time at all.

It's a concert lover's dream on Saturday Oct. 11, as nearly ten major acts arrive in town to play at various venues. In this week's Sound Files podcast, our resident music experts Preston Jones and Ryan Peterson help you choose from this embarrassment of riches.
Segment One: Gym Class Heroes, The Roots and Estelle at the Palladium Ballroom
On their latest album, The Quilt, the Heroes recruit everyone from Estelle (with whom their touring) to Daryl Hall to help realize these a group of ambitious, devastatingly catchy ditties. They arrive in tow with The Roots, for what promises to be one of the year's more appealingly eclectic concerts.
For white guy rappers, say Preston and Ryan, the Gym Class Heroes are about as good as it gets.
Segment Two: Nikka Costa at the The Loft at Palladium Ballroom
Maybe, at long last, Nikka Costa will have her moment in the spotlight. Costa's funky, sexy -- and critically adored -- sound has long been out of step with the zeitgeist, but with artists like Duffy and Amy Winehouse seizing the spotlight, Costa just might have the opening she's long deserved.
Ryan digs Nikka's Steve Wonder-style funky vibes.
Segment Three: Darius Rucker at Billy Bob's Texas
Rucker's latest, Learn To Live, is actually his second stab at a solo career � and the first explicitly country disc in his catalog. It�s largely a smooth transition, partly because Hootie and the Blowfish�s own brand of multi-platinum pop-rock frequently edged into twangy territory and mostly because Rucker�s marvelous baritone would glow even if he were simply singing the classifieds.
Preston loses all pop music critic credibility when he claims enthusiasm for Darius.
Segment Four: Michael Buble at Fort Worth Convention Center Arena
Smooth of voice, if occasionally foul in his language, Buble is a surprisingly entertaining live performer. He returns to the the Metroplex for the second time this year, with a concert that should pack the rafters with cougars and the young men who love them.
Preston further loses all heterosexual male credibility when he proclaims his enthusiasm for the menace that is Buble.
Segment Five: Ryan Adams at Nokia Theater
In their last area appearance, in 2007, the predictably unpredictable Ryan Adams and his Cardinals limned a nearly three-hour performance with absurd asides, goofy noises, and devastatingly beautiful country-rock. Expect more (perhaps three hours more) for this tour in support of Adams' latest, Cardinology.
Even Ryan is a sucker for a dreamboat like Ryan Adams.
Segment Six: Ghostland Observatory and The Walkmen at the House of Blues
But wait, there's more: Before bidding adieu for the week, Preston and Ryan also take note of shows by Ghostland Observatory and The Walkmen.
Ryan does not care for bands who wear capes on stage.

Native to eastern North America. This magnificent specimen is a natural hybrid between the native scarlet (Q. coccinea) and red oaks (Q. rubra). Although its exact age is unknown, we suspect that it well predates the Morrises and may be up to 250 years old. It anchors the 'top of the hill' of Compton and provides a dramatic gateway to the garden. Look for its wonderful branch structure in winter, lustrous green leaves in summer, and russet red fall color.
Please be advised that the Rose Garden is closed on Thursday mornings for maintenance.
Please note that weather conditions can change quickly, check back or call (215) 247-5777 before heading out for a visit.
Weather conditions may limit garden access to certain features even if the garden is open – please check the web site or call (215) 247-5777 for updates before visiting. Our visitors' safety in the garden is our top priority. Therefore when inclement weather is predicted, we will make decisions about closing the garden accordingly.

Marching Men HTML version
And then a new element asserted itself in the life of McGregor. One of the
hundreds of disintegrating forces that attack strong natures, striving to scatter
their force in the back currents of life, attacked him. His big body began to feel
with enervating persistency the call of sex.
In the house in Wycliff Place McGregor passed as a mystery. By keeping silence
he won a reputation for wisdom. The clerks in the hall bedrooms thought him a
scientist. The woman from Cairo thought him a theological student. Down the hall
a pretty girl with large black eyes who worked in a department store down town
dreamed of him at night. When in the evening he banged the door to his room
and strode down the hallway going to the night school she sat in a chair by the
open door of her room. As he passed she raised her eyes and looked at him
boldly. When he returned she was again by the door and again she looked boldly
at him.
In his room, after the meetings with the black-eyed girl McGregor found difficulty
in keeping his mind on the reading. He felt as he had felt with the pale girl on the
hillside beyond Coal Creek. With her as with the pale girl he felt the need of
defending himself. He began to make it a practice to hurry along past her door.
The girl in the hall bedroom thought constantly of McGregor. When he had gone
to night school another young man of the house who wore a Panama hat came
from the floor above and, putting his hands on the door frames of her room,
stood looking at her and talking. In his lips he held a cigarette, which when he
talked hung limply from the corner of his mouth.
This young man and the black-eyed girl kept up a continuous stream of
comments on the doings of red-haired McGregor. Begun by the young man, who
hated him because of his silence, the subject was kept alive by the girl who
wanted to talk of McGregor.
On Saturday nights the young man and the girl sometimes went together to the
theatre. One night in the summer when they had returned to the front of the
house the girl stopped. "Let's see what the big red-head is doing," she said.
Going around the block they stole in the darkness down an alleyway and stood in
the little dirty court looking up at McGregor who, with his feet in the window and a
lamp burning at his shoulder, sat in his room reading.
When they returned to the front of the house the black-eyed girl kissed the young
man, closing her eyes and thinking of McGregor. In her room later she lay abed
dreaming. She imagined herself assaulted by the young man who had crept into

The Foo Fighters appear to be back at work on their eighth album according to a post on the band's Instagram account. Late Thursday, the band gave fans an update on the progress they're making on the follow-up to the Grammy Award winning, Wasting Light. The post included a picture of master tapes with the caption, "It's F---ing ON."It was back in November that Dave Grohl made mention of the new recording to Rolling Stone. "Its badass. Were doing something that nobody knows about, its f--cking rad. We begin recording soon, but were doing it in a way that no ones done before and were writing the album in a way that I dont think has been done before."There been no official word but leave it to the band to use social media as a way to connect directly with their fans and giving them the news first or a least enough to get people buzzing about all things Foo!

The Shared Meals Initiative is a project of the Nutrition Council of Oregon intended to raise awareness of the importance of mealtimes shared by multiple people – family members, community members, neighbors, friends – in encouraging healthy food choices, promoting positive and supportive social interactions, reducing risky behavior among youth, and strengthen family and friendship bonds. The group hopes to expand to other health systems, social service organizations and private businesses with the goal of helping patients, clients, employees and consumers understand the physical, emotional and social benefits of sharing meals with others.
The Nutrition Council of Oregon (NCO) is a respected and diverse group of nutrition professionals from Oregon's public health, education and health care sectors concerned with public health nutrition issues that affect population groups in Oregon. Members of the Nutrition Council of Oregon represent public health, health care, academic, nutrition and food, and non-profit organizations interested in promoting the nutritional health of Oregonians.
NCO members include the Oregon Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Program, Oregon State University Extension, Oregon Department of Education, Oregon Dairy Council, Aging and People with Disabilities, Public Health Division, Oregon Public Health Institute, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Oregon Health Sciences University (OHSU) Oregon Food Bank, and Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board.
Shared meals have been scientifically proven to promote health in many ways. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, "encouraging family meals in which parents and children eat together is an evidence-based way to prevent obesity." Other research has shown that frequent family meals are associated with a number of benefits for different age groups, races, ethnicities and genders, including:
Better eating habits.
Reduced risk of overweight and obesity.
Less substance abuse among adolescents.
Less screen time.
Family bonding.
Positive child learning outcomes.
Socialization skills and decreased risk of mortality.
The Nutrition Council of Oregon is encouraging friends, families, neighbors, schools, senior meal organizers and civic organizations to celebrate shared and family meals during September. They can organize shared meal events, develop regular shared meal gatherings, work with members of their communities to help their friends and neighbors find ways to regularly share meals and make this activity a routine part of their lives. They also are promoting September as Shared Meals Month, as proclaimed by Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber, with the theme, "Cook together. Eat together. Talk together. Make meal time a shared time."
Bringing friends and family members together for a shared meal can be difficult as parents and children try to navigate busy work, school and activity schedules. But these barriers can be overcome with these simple steps:
Make mealtime a priority: plan ahead when you will eat together.
Be creative and flexible about when and where you eat together.
Make mealtime a pleasant and stress free time – talk about fun and happy things.
Turn off the TV, computer and cell phones.
Keep meals simple and easy.
Involve everyone in preparation of the meal.
Encourage children to try foods, but don't lecture or force your child to eat.
Invite others to join you for a meal.
Promoting health and preventing the leading causes of death, disease and injury in Oregon.

72 Hours in Cartagena
Colombia's historic walled city is known for its stunning architecture, romantic atmosphere and excellent seafood. But with only 72 hours to spend in the city, how best to maximize your time there? There's a month's worth of activities and sightseeing to do, but here are a few suggestions to make the best of a long Caribbean weekend.
Day one: History and Ceviche
8:30 AM: Start your day right with the sweet and savory pastries and breakfast offerings at popular bakery La Brioche.
10 AM: You have to do some touristy things while you're here, so get a taste of history at the Castillo de San Felipe de Barajas. Constructed in 1536, it's the Western hemisphere's oldest Spanish castle, and the flag on top may well be the country's largest.
12:30 PM: Escape the midday heat and take a long lunch at La Mulata, a cute spot that offers typical Colombian lunches at one of the lowest set prices in the old city.
3 PM: Colombia's oldest port city is home to its respected navy, as well as the naval museum, which offers an interesting glimpse into the history of the country's armada. After looking through the free museum, spend the afternoon just walking around the old city, admiring the climbing flowers and stunning architecture. If you're craving a cold snack, stop into Gelatería Paradiso for a cone of lulo gelato.
7 PM: You can't stay in Cartagena and skip ceviche. There are a wealth of options to choose from (including Anthony Bourdain's favorite spot), but for an authentic interpretation, look no farther than Peruvian restaurant La Perla, which also offers a lovely ambiance and some excellent cocktails.
8:30 PM: If you saved room to satisfy your sweet tooth, there's nowhere better than Mila. The cutesy place, oddly filled with chicken décor, has a mouthwatering supply of cakes, brownies and other treats to end the evening on a sweet note.
10 PM: You can go dancing just about anywhere you hear music, but for an authentic rumba, head to the famous Café Havana salsa club (made more famous by the recent visit of a certain former Secretary of State).
Day two: Island Exploration
7:30 AM: Stash some snack bars in your bag or swing by the closest panaderia and grab some treats for breakfast, and head out to beat the rush and grab the early boat to the Islas del Rosario, which are one of Colombia's national natural parks and home to hundreds of species of aquatic creatures and coral reefs. You can try your luck and haggle with boat operators down at the main docks, or play it safe and make a reservation with one of the many tour companies operating at the Islas.
1 PM: If you're on a tour, make sure it has an afternoon stop at Playa Blanca. Enjoy the sun, sand and surf on what is considered Cartagena's best beach. It's worth the price to rent some chairs under a tent to stay out of the blazing hot sun, but beware the vendors, who seem to appear every few minutes and can be extremely persistent. Practice your "no, gracias" until it feels like a habit. Grab a fresh lunch of fried fish or seafood from one of the many little family-run spots along the beach, but make sure to shop around prices so you don't get overcharged. Once you've had enough sun, hop on a boat for the hour-long ride back to the city and take a short post-beach siesta.
8 PM: Continue the seafood binge but keep it light and switch continents at Tabetai Sushi Bar, a sleek modern spot with the city's best maki offerings.
10:30 PM: Plaza Santo Domingo or Getsemaní. Take it easy for the night and knock back a few beers in one of the city's many plazas. The Plaza Santo Domingo, home to the (in)famous Botero statue, is a central gathering point for locals and visitors alike, with half a dozen restaurants sharing central chair and table space where you can enjoy a glass of wine, a few cocktails and maybe even some live music. If you're the less formal type, head to the plaza in the center of the Getsemaní neighborhood just on the other side of the wall. On weekend nights it's packed with families and all of the backpackers from the local hostels, who share bench space, swap stories, buy artery-clogging snacks and beer from passing vendors and try to stay out of the way of the neighborhood kids' soccer game.
Day three: Shopping, Snacks and a View
8 AM: Aim for an early breakfast and fill up on carbs at El Bistro, which describes its food as "European with a Caribbean influence." No matter what region they call home, these breads and pastries are too good to miss.
9:30 AM: Find a tour company or hop on a bus for the 40-minute ride to the El Totumo Mud Volcano, a natural feature where you can pamper your skin with a nice slimy mud bath or even spring for a massage. Don't forget your mud swimsuit!
2 PM: After you've washed off all the mud, hit up the aptly named La Sandwichería, which boasts a great falafel pita and even a sandwich featuring turkey, an uncommon ingredient in Colombia. Snag a table near the door to enjoy the breeze while you sip the house specialty, limonada de coco.
4 PM: You've been so busy so far that you haven't even had time to shop! Take the afternoon easy and stroll the streets of the old city, stopping to admire, haggle over and maybe even buy some of the wares that vendors have spread out on blankets in every plaza and street corner. You can find everything from traditional bags to sandals, jewelry to hats, t-shirts to handmade musical instruments. If you get thirsty, find a vendor and grab a fresh limonada or cup of sweet mango slices.
7 PM: Celebrate your last night with an indulgent dinner at Krioyo, a colorfully decorated Caribbean restaurant with a dining patio and plates that manage to stand out even in a city full of quality seafood.
9 PM: A Cartagena trip wouldn't be complete without a rumbling trip over the cobblestone streets in one of the city's picturesque horse-drawn carriage. Go around dusk or at night to appreciate the city lit up at night, and listen to your guide – they have plenty to tell you about the walled city's history. After the ride ends, head up to the famous walltop Café del Mar for a cocktail and a stunning view of the city.
Convinced? It's a good thing LATAM Airlines Group has plenty of flights headed to Cartagena – you can certainly find one for your next long weekend vacation!

Dear Royal Mail,
Primarily the question in my head at the moment is how anyone can possibly justify the following:
- Value of items ordered from abroad: $24.22/£15.52
- Maximum value for the exemption of Import charges: £15
- Total import costs billed to me without so much as an embarrassed smirk: £12.54
Not exactly high finance I know, but it is the principle of the thing that bothers me! Including the so-called handling fee (the biggest rip-off of all!), that is approximately 80% import costs if I have my maths right and I fail to see how that can be acceptable under any circumstances in a world that is increasingly embracing globalisation. For 80% import costs, I hope you put the box up in a good hotel and handled it with only the best silk gloves (I will expect the vacation photos at your convenience?) – and I would have thought at the very least some info could have been provided so I have some idea what I am paying that 80% for! E.g. address and sender of origin, declared description of contents and maybe X-ray and CAT scan data while you are about it. That way, maybe I wouldn't get this 'ripped off' feeling quite so strongly whenever I am forced to import stuff from abroad.
We live in a world where borders are increasingly irrelevant and where the globalism of life is increasingly changing the world for the better – all of which might be called the first tastes of one of the most important stages in human development since we started farming. Things are possible now that would have been unheard of only a few decades ago – such as the cross-pollination and inspiration of cultures and the ability to explore areas, concepts and objects that were previously denied to us. It is a shame then that the boarders themselves and those involved in crossing them don't seem to have heard of all this.

This sounds like a question from last week:
As that question showed, difference between successive dates is one
line in Stata, with no programming needed.
In Stata, a variable is an entire column of data and an observation an
entire row.

Jenkins Scalability Summit Recap
Jenkins project just held a Jenkins User Conference in Palo Alto this past October, and attached to that event was the Jenkins Scalability Summit, an event hosted by Black Diamond Software and CloudBees. The Summit was a smaller gathering of serious large-scale Jenkins users.
In this event, existing users of Jenkins went through pain points experienced when operating and managing large instances. We then organized specific sub-topics we wanted to talk about, and went about identifying and designing how to tackle these problems.
We covered a number of different topics:
- High availability
- Master-to-master communication
- Workflow
- Slave connectivity diagnosis
If you are interested in providing your thoughts on these topics, please join this webinar. Kohsuke will present highlights of the event, and we'll spend the rest of the time discussing your feedback.

700R4 Overboard!
I was doing some routine maintenance on my Firebird this weekend when I just about cried!
I was looking underneath while she was on ramps, and the crossmember has twisted loose from the frame/unibody. This is bad because I also found out that the car was obviously involved in a serious front end wreck. The unibody on the passenger side has been refitted almost all the back to the cab.
I think the driver side crossmember bolt-up twisted because there is still a crease in the frame on that side, and it was weakened. The holes are stretched really wide, and I don't think I can use them again. I'm also worried about drilling or welding because it may weaken the frame even more.
I really don't know what to do right now, except not drive it. The transmission and crossmember are hanging about 2.5 inches below the frame on the driver side. I'm thinking that whatever I do, I'll need to get some sub-frame connectors to reinforce the unibody. If pictures are needed, I'll get some this evening.
PS - Woodz your PM box is full
Ain't cars fun!!
How long have you had the car? Can you take some action against the dude that sold it to you?
Naw its not like that...
I got it in return for paying off one of my brothers' debts (real CHEAP!). So my one brother was the last owner. But I know he let one of his "friends" borrow it, and that's where the transmission started acting bad. It really is a heartbreaker because I love the car. Funny thing is, I never knew it was busted up like that because I haven't been driving it, and when I do, nothing seems wrong.
It has taught me a lot about why it runs so good, because the whole front of the car, including the engine and transmission has been replaced. I always suspected it was a different engine, but this confirms it. Well now I have to ask how can I tell if this is another 305 or is it a 350?
The weld job on the unibody on the other side looks to be pretty solid, and the car holds an alignment and doesn't even think about shaking long after the speedo gets buried at 85mph.
I'm just wondering how I can go about fixing the crossmember. I was thinking of some angle iron over the top of the unibody then flaring it out to either side of the crossmember. But I have to go back under there for another look. I'll take some pics and post them...maybe someone can figure this out.

Those are issues we talk a lot about ourselves as we plan out the lottery's schedules. We know that not everyone may even like a certain game or contest, and with our busy lives these days, it can be difficult to fit everything in. So, we concentrate on variety in what we offer so you'll have choices. It's like Mom always said: Variety is the spice of life!
Our Twitter contests do generally run for just 15 minutes and we often hold them during the business day. We've tried longer contests on Twitter and have held them early in the morning and in the evening. The results surprised us: The number of entries actually went down in the Twitter contests we held outside business hours. And, the longer contests made some people complain that they couldn't find our posts as easily because our information had been pushed well down in their feeds. Twitter is a fast-paced, instantaneous platform, and a 15-minute contest during the day seems to be "just right" for it!
But in the past few months, we have switched up our Facebook contests so they now run for 24 hours. The number of entries we've seen in them has skyrocketed, so it seems that people like the change. The Find-The-Symbol contests we hold on our website run at least for several days, and our bigger games and promotions run for weeks or months at a time so everyone has plenty of time to enter. The contests and events we hold at our retailers also are at different times and in different locations, again with the goal of giving people options.
But when it comes to the time limits in our games, promotions and contests, they are there for a reason. If we didn't tell you the start and end dates, how would you ever know when to enter or buy tickets? I'm pretty sure we'd get complaints if we just said we were having an event at some time in April, but didn't tell you exactly when.
In the end, it may not be possible to please all of the people all of the time. (But we'll keep trying!) And we like hearing from you, so keep that feedback coming!

2011 Newest sale Left handed Callaway X-24 Hot Irons Review
The Callaway X-24 HOT Iron Set is new from the makers of the No.1 irons in golf for the last 13 years. The X-24 HOT Iron Set is the longest, most accurate X Series iron ever.
In a media release, Dr. Alan Hocknell, Callaway's senior vice president of research and development said, "We recognize there are golfers looking for distance gains throughout their entire bag, and thus employed our core technologies and faster ball speeds into the design of X-24 Hot, a longer, more accurate set than any of their predecessors."
Callaway might be perceived as a "driver" company to the outside world, but since the late 1990s the firm has actually sold more irons each year than any other manufacturer. The ever-popular X-Series irons franchise (now in its seventh iteration) has a lot to do with the company's success. Its new X-24 Hot, billed as the longest, most-accurate X-Series iron, targets all players (regardless of handicap) who seek turbocharged distance in an iron.
Callaway engineers strengthened loft in the long and mid-irons (the PW is the same as in X-22 irons), increased shaft length by 0.25 inches per club (compared to the X-22), and redesigned the head to account for new weight distribution. The X-24 Hot also boasts evolutionary updates to tried-and-true design elements, such as "variable face thickness" (VFT) technology and "precision notch weighting" in the rear. VFT produces 2.2 mph faster ball speed than the X-22 irons do, for longer, more consistent length on mis-hits. The large cavity notch spreads weight to the heel and toe, for ample head stability and improved accuracy.

-xtgraph- is from SSC.
You can plot geometric means directly without needing any add-ons:
sysuse auto
egen gmean = mean(log(mpg)), by(foreign)
replace gmean = exp(gmean)
scatter gmean foreign
There is no trick needed. If you don't want bars, don't plot them.
I found a link from 2002 to a Statalist msg asking the same thing as I want to ask, where the anwser was that there was a bug with the add-on itself (http://stata.com/statalist/archive/2002-10/msg00629.html).
I'm trying to graph geometric means through time by group: - xtgraph ta, group(failure_type) av(gm) -
which works fine. But it always adds confidence intervals as a default, even when I add the option - bar(no)- (which is meant to be the right option).
Error bars often take a lot of space on the graphs and reduces visibility as well as "collapsing" a bit all the lines together.
If you have a solution it'd be great, I wonder if the bug within the xtgraph add-on has been corrected in any way, or if a "trick" has been found not to have the error bars.

Jo-Ann Fabric will relocate
Published: Wednesday, September 11, 2013 at 3:09 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, September 11, 2013 at 3:09 p.m.
Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft will open a 36,000-square-foot store next year in the long-vacant former Publix location in the Esplanade at Butler Plaza.
The company wants to open before the end of the second quarter of 2014, preferably in the first quarter, but has "fairly considerable" construction to do, said Seth Lane of Front Street Commercial Real Estate Group, which handles leasing for the Esplanade.
A Jo-Ann spokeswoman did not return a call for comment.
Jo-Ann closed its 12,000-square-foot store in the Millhopper Shopping Center in January 2010 to make way for a larger Publix. Before that, several sources said the company was looking for a larger space for a superstore and would close its two smaller Gainesville stores, including the one that remains open at 1220 NW 76th Blvd.
Lane confirmed that Jo-Ann still plans to close the 76th Boulevard location.
The coming store is one of many changes to the oldest part of Butler Plaza at 3610 Archer Road.
4 Rivers Smokehouse opened recently in the former McAlister's Deli, which moved last year to the former Ashley's Pub.
Guitar Center opened its 8,000-square-foot musical instrument store last Thursday.
Cox Communications has signed a lease to put in a Cox Solutions Store in a few months where customers can sign up for service, pay bills, exchange equipment and see features such as high-definition service.
Jo-Ann offers products for quilting, apparel, craft and home decor sewing, as well as components, tools and kits for crafters. The Hudson, Ohio-based company operates 790 stores in 49 states.
The arts and crafts retailer Hobby Lobby also plans to open a Gainesville store next year, in place of the just-closed Stein Mart.

Jiffy Lube
America's largest Jiffy Lube franchisee, Heartland Automotive Services, has purchased the five locations in Gainesville as part of the company's 33-store acquisition from South Lube Inc., according to a press release.
Heartland, headquartered in Irving, Texas, has 576 Jiffy Lube locations in 23 states, which serve about 4 million customers each year, and employs about 5,000 people. Heartland did not disclose terms of the acquisition.
The 41 employees in the Gainesville locations were invited to remain in their current positions after the sale, according to the release.
Health care insurance and retirement benefits will also be provided to the 250 employees from all 33 stores previously owned by South Lube.
"The newly acquired locations provide a natural platform for growth in the Southeast market," said James Marcum, interim CEO of Heartland Jiffy Lube.
Of the stores acquired from South Lube, 17 are located in the Jacksonville area, one in Atlantic Beach and 10 in the Charleston, S.C., area.
Heartland also has opened a southeast division, which will include existing Heartland locations near Savannah, Ga., and Hilton Head Island, S.C.
Jiffy Lube provides oil changes, tire rotations, filter replacements, air-conditioning services, state vehicle safety inspections, emissions testing and other preventive automotive maintenance services.
Heartland said it plans to buy another Jiffy Lube location in Lake City.

Fish Stocks Limited HTML version
this gaunt, pale wraith of everything beautiful and innocent and good. Your eyes will
hunt me to the ends of the world and I will have no rest."
"Then so be it, Ambrosius Codwich. I would have it no other way." Only love
could have nurtured such a statement.
"You like to know that I suffer?"
Sunbeam gave a cracked smile. "It will sustain me."
The petrel screamed and revulsion danced in Ambrosius' brain as he jerked
forward and away, away for ever from his home, from love. His face was a mask;
suffering lay deep in the crypt of his soul, booby trapped with vicious spikes of self-
loathing. Every time he tried to access a fond memory of Sunbeam those cruel barbs
shot forth and, as his mind lay bleeding, the living skeleton of Sunbeam loomed over
him, and the whole of his mind's eye was eclipsed by that terrible, cadaverous face –
his mask twitched and ticked but still did not give way. With every yard that trailed
behind him he was further from himself, from truth, from light. He was not conscious
of it but with every flap of the petrel's wings he was becoming a thing of darkness,
like the shadows of Sunbeams hut.
Now Ambrosius was infected with this thing that was spreading over the world –
call it a pisconomic downturn, the apocalypse, the evil tide; call it what you like. He
bore the seed of shadow in his soul, and it was growing fast, sending out a tentative
hypocotyl to quest for light and to turn it to shade – indeed, to make Ambrosius
himself a shade, a spectre, a ghost. He steered the boat down into the mist, until he
could see only a few yards ahead. At such a high speed the danger of collision with an
unseen obstacle was great, and adrenaline surged like a balm through his tortured
brain. Gnashing and weeping tearlessly, Ambrosius hit the jungle and trees whipped
past on either side of the boat. He slowed despite himself and steered in between the
trunks, trying to occupy himself entirely with the steering of the boat. But it was still
there, Sunbeam's maniac laugh. In her love she hated him, and he could do nothing
but love her wholly in return.
It was late afternoon as Ambrosius neared the mist dykes of the City, the petrel
now lamed and chuntering along pitifully at the stern, causing the boat to slow to a
funereal crawl. To say Ambrosius felt better now he neared the City would be
incorrect – he felt worse. But that feeling was of such a negative quality that it had its
own kind of lure, an addictive property that caused Ambrosius to lap it up like it was
slaking some kind of thirst. And another thirst whelmed him, a thirst that was more
literal – he wanted absolution, and, as everyone who has ever been in this state knows,
the promise held by a beer glass was calling strong. The mist gates opened just wide
enough for the jolly boat to pass through, and Ambrosius piloted it to the docks and
moored it. He told the harbour master that the crew of the schooner to which it
belonged could find it at the quayside, and that a bill for a new petrel could be sent to
his office in the Fish Stocks Limited building. He knew that such an address would
probably put the skipper off claiming any damages.
So, with leaden heart and a storm in his head, Ambrosius hit the Cannery Arms.
Chapter 21 – From Bad To Worse

Microsoft announced their plans to invest in Barnes and Noble Inc., the brick-and-mortar bookstore that also produces e-book readers and tablets in order to keep up with the digital age.
"The shift to digital is putting the world's libraries and newsstands in the palm of every person's hand, and is the beginning of a journey that will impact how people read, interact with, and enjoy new forms of content," said Andy Lees, President at Microsoft. "Our complementary assets will accelerate e-reading innovation across a broad range of Windows devices, enabling people to not just read stories, but to be part of them. We're at the cusp of a revolution in reading."
Microsoft is investing $300 million in the company's e-book business and college-texts. From the investment comes a new subsidiary, Newco, resulting in a 17.6% stake for Microsoft while B&N will still retain 82.4 percent ownership. Newco is actually the digital subsidiary of Barnes and Noble, which the company is actively developing. The investment puts B&N's valuation at $1.7 billion, an outstanding increase from their current value of $791 million.
"The formation of Newco and our relationship with Microsoft are important parts of our strategy to capitalize on the rapid growth of the NOOK business, and to solidify our position as a leader in the exploding market for digital content in the consumer and education segments," said William Lynch, CEO of Barnes & Noble. "Microsoft's investment in Newco, and our exciting collaboration to bring world-class digital reading technologies and content to the Windows platform and its hundreds of millions of users, will allow us to significantly expand the business."
The investment would also result in a Nook tablet built on Windows 8. Microsoft plans on selling computers and tablets equipped with Windows 8 by the end of the year in time for the holiday rush.
An unlikely partnership
The Microsoft-B&N partnership is quite a surprise since the two battled it out in patent court when Microsot sued B&N for allegedly "violating their patents, covering a broad range of functionality, including 'interacting with documents and e-books' and 'natural ways of interacting with devices by tabbing through various screens.'"
Their patent dispute was still active in February of this year. Barnes and Noble was appealing to the U.S. International Trade Commission to dismiss the case filed against them.
As per the announcement, the two have already settled their patent dispute and Barnes & Noble and Newco will have a royalty-bearing license under Microsoft's patents for their NOOK eReader and Tablet products. The settlement paves a way for both companies to collaborate and reach a broader set of customers.
