THEATER; New Plays Galore, but to What End?
By ALVIN KLEIN
Published: May 28, 1989
A VISITOR on a tour of the state's theaters in late September could have been fooled. There were ''The Glass Menagerie,'' ''La Cage aux Folles,'' ''Born Yesterday'' and ''Little Shop of Horrors,'' all set to start the season in four major theaters, all bespeaking theatrical balm in New Jersey.
Given the contentment bred by such familiar favorites, it was easy to overlook ''To Gleam It Around, To Show My Shine,'' the season's opener at the Crossroads Theater Company in New Brunswick. Yet that was the first in an onslaught of premieres, more than a score of them. From then on, the new play, not the safe revival, would dominate, even define, the theater season here.
If only Bonnie Lee Moss Rattner's truly gleaming and shining adaptation of Zora Neale Hurston's breakthrough 1937 novel, ''Their Eyes Were Watching God,'' had set an artistic tone for the season, instead of merely signaling a trend.
Now at the season's near end, its first new work, for all its structural flaws, remains its most fulfilling. Through the specificity of a rural black woman's odyssey at the turn of the century, the play achieved a wondrous universality. Here was a lesson on how to succeed in reaching an audience without really trying.
By contrast, the spate of new works that followed suggested that proselytizing was more a priority than playwriting. One writer after another appeared more concerned with changing the world than with shaping a play. A mission to transform us into liberal and liberated human beings spread, as if by contagion. Few of the plays succeeded in reaching us precisely because they tried so doggedly.
From ''Sarcophagus,'' the ultimately defensive Russian play about Chernobyl, presented by the McCarter Theater in Princeton, to ''Spare Parts,'' a charade about child-rearing by an extended family, at the Whole Theater in Montclair, the issue-oriented play was the thing.
As provocativeness was whittled down to simplism, all the ingredients that add up to compelling theater - complexity of character, vividness of language, originality of vision, the capacity of creative artists to surprise and astonish us, to evoke visceral sensations - were in short supply.
Some plays attempted to adhere to basic principles of playwriting, but perfunctorily so. ''Spare Parts'' showed just such an attempt to be more of a play than a polemic. But the result seemed better suited to the tube than to the proscenium.
A lesson of sorts on tolerance for newfangled family arrangements, the play's characters - including a strident, hostile lesbian mother; a wimpy male homosexual friend and an intrusive character who was the baby's biological father - were rather less than tolerable, and their potential to be caring parents, which was the only real issue, hardly popped into the playwright's frame of reference.
For a while, it seemed that conflicts between less than youthful idealists and spokesmen for dehumanizing systems were going to be all the rage. ''Beyond a Reasonable Doubt'' at the Paper Mill Playhouse in Millburn pitted two such lawyers, of opposite sexes and opposing wills, in what turned out to be a minimal contribution to the romantic-courtroom-prison genre.
In ''Fraternity'' at the Whole Theater, an elongated preachment in which one of the characters was indeed a preacher, corrupt materialism was presented as the black man's only alternative to dreamy animism.
When playwrights weren't assaulting, or lulling, audiences with life-altering ultimatums, characters were talking each other into oblivion, as in the McCarter Theater's ''Dividing the Estate.''
And a collaborative attempt by two companies - the Passage Theater in Trenton and the Loaves and Fish Theater Company in Jersey City - to produce a drama about present-day Puerto Rican conflict was marred by rudimentary craftsmanship.
Lest anyone assume that new plays are invariably by new playwrights, note especially disappointing work by such established writers as Horton Foote (''Dividing the Estate''), N. Richard Nash (''The Bluebird of Happiness'' at the American Stage Company in Teaneck) and Don Evans (''Spooks'' at Crossroads).
Before the inevitable question ''What did all those new plays amount to?'' seems utterly rhetorical, it must be added that in the new-play sweepstakes, Crossroads fared best, what with ''The Mojo and the Sayso'' and ''The Rabbit Foot'' showing considerable promise for further development, and ''The Playboy of the West Indies'' turning out to be a robust retelling of Synge's Irish classic.
And then there was ''Better Living'' at the Whole Theater, which demonstrated an attractively zany sensibility that was overwhelmed by a grab-bag of concerns, from sexual politics to nuclear annihilation.
Over all, one has the impression that new plays were produced for the sake of producing new plays. But glutting the market with unimpressive ones is counterproductive. If a theater is to build an identity based on the production of mostly new works, as the American Stage Company sees bent on building, it must nurture each play through an extensive and extended evolutionary process. This Crossroads seems to be doing. It is unreasonable to expect every theater in the state to make such a commitment more than once or twice a season.
Obviously, new plays must be encouraged, but judiciously so. It is as important for a regional theater to reclaim the reputation of our finest playwrights by investigating their neglected works. Reaffirming as it is, theoretically, to revive ''The Glass Menagerie'' - which was more a miscalculation than a reaffirmation in the American Stage Company production - the Tennessee Williams canon is rife with plays ready for reappraisal.
What can one say of the American theater's loyalty to its most lyric playwright when a Williams flop of the 1950's, ''Orpheus Descending,'' was transformed into a success - but by a London company? It is now bound for Broadway next season, in that production.
Easily the most gallant recent unearthing of a forgotten masterpiece - Eugene O'Neill's ''Beyond the Horizon'' - was witnessed by the fledgling Independence Theater Company in Fort Lee last season. There was an act of adventurousness beyond that of the more recognized theaters.
And then there are plays that each season close prematurely in Off Broadway's institutional theaters. Disregarded by commercial producers, they demand a second hearing in regional theaters. Among such plays this past season, count ''Amulet Against the Dragon Forces'' by Paul Zindel, ''Reckless'' by Craig Lucas and ''Italian American Reconciliation'' by John Patrick Shanley.
The state's regional theaters need to have strong identities. This is not achieved by jumping on the new-play bandwagon. And they need to strike a balance among the old and the new, for the old can inform the new. Revivals needn't be safe or turn a theater into a formulaic one, ruled by Neil Simon comedies, just as classics of the world theater needn't be restricted to Chekhov or Moliere.
Audiences can be enlightened, not by new plays alone. Most of the season's new works confused theatrical enlightenment with schoolroom instructing or soapbox sermonizing. Ultimately, what does it matter if a play's concerns matter when the play itself doesn't matter? Artistic directors might take a reverse cue from Shakespeare, and go for less matter and more art - and more invigorating theater.

SC deputies test AXON body cameras
Adoption of the cameras, which are mounted above the ears, will happen as technological and budgetary concerns allow
By Mike Ellis
Anderson Independent-Mail
ANDERSON, S.C. — About a dozen Anderson County sheriff's deputies wore small video cameras mounted above their ears on hard-plastic headbands during a test run this summer.
The deputies, members of the county's CATCH team, received a free trial sample of the AXON cameras from Taser International, the company that makes the eponymous stun guns. The trial has ended but those or similar cameras could someday come back for more deputies in the county.

The soaring Australian dollar is giving exporters a belting. The country's export earnings slumped by another 10 per cent in the first half of this financial year, and an unexpected blow-out in December suggests worse ahead.
As the Reserve Bank board meets today to consider raising interest rates again, the Bureau of Statistics estimated Australia's borrow-and-spend economy ran up a monthly trade deficit of $2.55 billion in December.
Defying economists' forecasts that exports had turned the corner, the month delivered the third highest deficit ever. Import bills jumped 5 per cent despite the steep rise in the dollar's value, whereas export earnings slumped 2 per cent.
The bureau estimated the deficit for the December quarter at $6.1 billion, slightly down from $6.4 billion in September. Tourist spending rose, thanks to the Rugby World Cup and the end of the SARS alarm, but exporters have seen the rising currency strip billions from their earnings.
From $123 billion in 2001, merchandise exports have plunged to just $108 billion in 2003. Rural exports account for half that fall, but even manufacturing exports have slumped by $2 billion or 7.5 per cent.
But worse is coming, with exports down another 12 per cent in the six months to December alone. Even wine exports are falling. Only a few areas, such as pharmaceuticals, gold, bauxite and engines, still have their heads above water.
Most market economists are tipping that the ravages of the higher dollar will hold the Reserve Bank back from raising rates today, even though surveys and credit data suggest that consumers have brushed aside last year's rate rises.
But the economists of the four major banks - Saul Eslake of the ANZ, Michael Blythe (Commonwealth), Alan Oster (NAB), and Bill Evans (Westpac) - are united in predicting the Reserve's board will opt for a rate rise now rather than wait another month, as most others predict.
Westpac economists yesterday estimated that the volume of imports had surged 4.6 per cent in the December quarter alone due to rapid growth in demand.
In trade-weighted terms, the Australian dollar has risen to its highest level for 15 years. Against the currency in which most goods are traded, the US dollar, it rose by 31 per cent in the year to December, although for commodity exporters this was partly offset by rising world prices.
For the year 2003, Australia ran up a trade deficit of $24 billion, easily a record in nominal terms, and at 3.1 per cent of GDP, one of the highest ever.
The bad result comes as negotiations for a free trade agreement with the United States remain largely stalled, with the Bush Administration refusing to allow Australian farm exporters free access to US markets.
Prime Minister John Howard said yesterday that he had spoken for an hour and a half overnight with Trade Minister Mark Vaile, heading the negotiations in Washington, about how to try to turn the talks around. Mr Howard warned that there would be no free trade agreement without agriculture.
Without free access for Australian farmers to American markets such as sugar, beef and dairy the deal did not stack up, he said.

Blackbird has released a quartet of new skin-care products for the fashion forward fellow who takes his skin care as serious as his wardrobe.
Inspired by the incredible popularity of their Blackbird beard oil, the creative minds at the company sat down with their beakers, blueprints, and protractors to come up with an equally excellent shave program.
The Blackbird aftershave ($38 for four ounces) is designed to calm skin, close pores and balance PH of freshly shaven or waxed skin, or used at anytime to refresh dry skin. It draws on an ingredient list that includes organic aloe, witch hazel, willowbark extract, tea tree oil and peppermint oil. It finishes with a refreshing scent of peppermint and geranium.

Does being on Chexsystems mean you can't get a Money Market Account?
A money market account is an interest bearing account; it's like a savings/checking account. Most people use it for investments.
Since it is like a savings/checking account, the bank will run your ChexSystems record. If you are in ChexSystems, they will decline you an account and show you the door.
Before you attempt to have any account with a bank, you need to understand what ChexSystems is, what your personal consumer report states, and what you need to do in order to clear your name from ChexSystems.

AN EMPLOYMENT boost of hundreds of jobs has moved a step closer after councillors gave the green light for a Morrisons supermarket to be built.
Addressing a Wrexham Council planning committee meeting held last night at the Guildhall, consultant Ed Kemsley spoke in favour of the Ruthin Road-based Morrisons application.
"This would be a high quality development on a vacant site. It represents a significant investment in Wrexham, generating around 300 new jobs.
"Morrisons is not currently represented in Wrexham and this store would increase choice," Mr Kemsley told councillors.
The proposal for a supermarket, customer car park and petrol filling station was approved with a number of planning conditions attached.
But Caia Park Cllr Carrie Harper spoke out against the proposals saying: "I question the need for another supermarket. We have so many within a short distance."
Cllr Harper also thought the land in question could provide an important site for dealing with the area's housing need.
Welcoming the application, the local member, Cllr Phil Wynn, of Brynyffynnon ward, raised a number of concerns which had been expressed by residents including parking and traffic flow arrangements and potential noise nuisance.
Cllr Wynn said there was a need for the store and felt an overwhelming majority of people were in favour of the development.
But he complained about the delay in being informed about the latest developments over the proposals.
"I am livid. I am sorry to rattle on but I am a bit narked tonight," he said.
He received an apology from chief planning officer Lawrence Isted over the delay.

Former fugitive Ralph ``Bucky'' Phillips speaks from prison
There are 56 comments on the Newsday story from Apr 6, 2007, titled Former fugitive Ralph ``Bucky'' Phillips speaks from prison. In it, Newsday reports that:During more than five months on the run from state police, Ralph "Bucky" Phillips claimed he disguised himself as a state trooper and even spoke with a trooper who failed to recognize him.
Join the discussion below, or Read more at Newsday.
#1 Apr 8, 2007
NYTimes reporter Michael Wilson forgot to mention that Phillips had no history of violence whatsoever, had never before escaped from 20 years in prisons, that practically anyone could have escaped from Erie County jail, that the police manhunt for Phillips was badly bungled..that Phillips could have been flushed out of the woods by police dogs and a trooper wouldn't have been killed, that Phillips had no money and police knew he would be hanging around his daughter's house..and that a state trooper shot and killed Bradley Horton, an innocent young man who the trooper mistook for Phillips. That seems to be hushed up. And Wilson knew that
Phillips agreed to the interview if Wilson would describe the unfair, inhumane treatment he's receiving at Clinton Prison. But it should sell a lot of NYTimes papers.
#2 Apr 9, 2007
bucky is an ass and always will be,the article in the paper quoted him as saying the months on the run were the most enjoyable of his life,what an ass,i am just sorry they didn't shoot his sorry ass,and save us taxpayers alot of money.
#3 Apr 9, 2007
Inhumane treatment? Hes a criminal! They shoulda just shot him. Now we all have to pay for another person with no ability to be rehabilitated. For what?
#4 Nov 14, 2008
How stupid are you? It doesn't matter what his past was before he pulled the trigger. Once that first slug was released he's now a murder, regardless of police or not. He should be put out with the dogs. Quit wasting my tax money on him, Patterson wants to save us money, less than one dollar for one bullet would save over $50,000/yr
#5 Dec 2, 2009
The manhunt took place over a rural several 100 miles. You cannot simply "flush" him out of the woods with dogs. That may have been one of the most ignorant comments I have ever read. Phillips was obviously gifted at surviving and hiding, making finding him difficult. He wasn't just hiding around his daughter's house. He was breaking into houses and being housed by people as well. Bradley Horton was a man in his twenties who should have known not to drive half a mile with a police officer being dragged behind him, helplessly. The trooper saw his own life in danger. Honestly, what person wouldn't do what they had to, even if it meant shooting the person who was threatening his life, in order to survive? And don't for a second think that officer isn't still coping with the fact that he killed a man. Just because a person is in a uniform doesn't mean they don't have fears, and emotions like the rest of us. Horton was a 25 year old white male, much different in appearance than Phillips who is native american and was in his 40's. And that most likely would sell a lot of NYTimes papers because negative press sells better than positive. You don't know half of the things police officers sacrifice and do for this state because it doesn't make a good story for the six o'clock news.
#6 Feb 22, 2010
Its hard for me, and I hope for most people, to root for a guy who shot 3 police officers.... and killed one.
#7 Mar 2, 2010
Bucky is a true hero. We should all help in getting this inocent man justice.
#8 Apr 1, 2010
F*&% yeah, he shot 3 troopers... He should have shot all of them... Long live Bucky, he's an American hero...
Saint Williams, Canada
#9 Apr 4, 2010
leave bucky alone he is the man, how would like to have a taste of freedom after 12 years then thrown back into the meatgrinder(jail) then a bunch of peice of **** cops hurt ur family wut wud u do tell those idiot cops its ok go n hurt my family no u wud kill tht ****in pig n any other pig **** tryin to hurt ur family anyone cop or not i dont care who u r and if u wudnt protect ur family like tht then your a ****in peice of ****. As far as im concerned bucky is a saint and if u disagree then **** YOU!
#10 Apr 4, 2010
bucky is a hero and f%&* all of you for hating on him i amhappy that he shot the troopers hes an american hero LONG LIVE BUCKY PHILIPS!!!!!!!
#11 Apr 5, 2010
F*** The Rebel, B C from Canada, RP IN WA, and Jim Cattle. Why don't u tell the family of the officers he shot that he's a f***in hero, an that he should be set free. Dumb motherf****ers like you 4 are the reason that our society is f***ed up. He shouldn't have been arrested, he should have been shot on sight, a peice of sh** like him doesn't deserve to live. His family deserved everything that they got. Everybody with brains (obvioulsy not you 4)knows that they helped that SOB evade police, they should have been seperately interogated and beaten until they told police the information they wanted to know.
#12 Apr 6, 2010
I agree with FU IN NY on whatever he said regarding the other dumasses out there...First of all, it is degrading to even consider Bucky a fuking american when he can just go around killing innocent people who are just doing their damn jobs. You guys think he's a american hero? Then wtf do u make of Abraham Lincoln? He set a lot of examples for us but i guess he aint good enough cause he didnt kill no innocent people. That trooper Bucky killed, had a 13 month old son. Wtf do u expect the mother to say to her son now? Your dad's an american hero for killing a state trooper who was just doing his job by protecting us dumfuk ignorant people? Are u guys that stupid? Troopers were just doing their job here. I bet if the trooper was related to any one u idiots, you guys wouldn't be calling him a damn hero.. All i gotta say is that I always wondered if there were stupid people out there in this world and you 4 are just the perfect example of some illiterate farm fucklings.:)
#13 Apr 8, 2010
Bucky phillips I hope ur getting everything in ur ass motherfu~er...
#14 Apr 9, 2010
Buffalo cop montalvo illegally got me I think the system is so corrupt buckys a hero id shoot my own family member if they got a badge if I could.what some of u idiots don't get is we are not innocent till proven guilty were shit n jail conditions can make the sanest insane.our cops r corrupt n the system sucls if your low income.
United States
#15 Apr 9, 2010
Down South, u call other ppl illiterate, but read ur own post. "Wtf do u expect the mother to say to her son now? Your dad's an american hero for killing a state trooper who was just doing his job by protecting us dumfuk ignorant people?" Reread ur shit b4 u post it next time. I do not agree that Bucky is innocent, although I do believe he was screwed over by the "justice" system. All the information u need is on this website... http://buckyphillipsdefensefund.com/
now if you aren't an ignorant person, u will take the time to go to that website, and learn other peoples views and to figure out more facts about Bucky's case. I do enjoy u ppl calling eachother "dumfuks" and ignorant ppl, when in fact, that is the entire American population. I am an American, but that does not mean that I believe that there are mostly smart ppl or that there are mostly dumbasses. I dont believe i will ever meet a single person who is 100% of the time, smart. I would like to state that to be convicted of the 1st degree of murder, u must KNOW that the person u shot was, in this case, an officer, yet the officers who pulled Buck over, were in FULL CAMO meaning that no badge was visible at the time the officers went up to the car. This does NOT give Buck the right to fire upon the officers, but it does prove that the "Justice" system is full of shit.

Hmmm, and why was his leg amputated, could it be because that bastard Bucky shot him????

if the cop would have been minding his own business bucky never would have shot him.

Lots of stuff brewing backstage at DOY HQ, including another viewing party that we'll be co-hosting next month. We're still ironing out details of that, so stay tuned.
What we can announce today is that we're officially teaming up with our buddy Rob over at Bottom Line Apparel. Readers might remember Rob has the guy who made the "controversial" Montreal 911 t-shirts as well as all the other playoff tees. We also teamed up with Rob and BLA for the "Triple Crown Timmy" t-shirts over the summer.
What this means for DOY? We get to team up with an awesome t-shirt designer and all around nice guy. We've loved every moment working with Rob and BLA. We're like cousins now… or something.

I'm a loyal owner of the PlayStation Portable unit, but the lack of good/new games on it make it a "once-in-a-while," if I remember that I have it gaming system, unlike my iPhone or iPad. The next iteration of the portable gaming system from Sony will come out in 2012, the PS Vita. Today, Sony posted two new videos showcasing features of the portable system - the first one here shows an overview of all of the different things you can do with the device.
The second video focuses on the crossplay feature, which lets you play the same game as someone using a PS3.
Will these new features be enough to make you forget the PlayStation Portable? We'll see next year when it hits store shelves...

Moloaa Bay, Kauai
Moloa'a Bay is a picturesque and great beach to visit when the ocean is calm and winds are light, particularly during the summer months. Both the east and west sections of the bay have small but good snorkeling areas. A beautiful hiking trail (roughly 1 mile round trip) wanders along the coast toward Larsen's beach.
Moloaa Bay experiences the least amount of rain of Kauai's north shore beaches. When rain threatens the north shore give Moloaa Bay a try provided it's not too windy (the beach is fairly exposed to wind and not as pleasant on windy days).
Despite the often placid appearance of the area in the summer, strong currents can form around the bay and reefs. Do not swim across the bay or in the center of the bay. In the aerial photo, the red stars denote the best places to swim, and the yellow star the best place to snorkel. Do not venture past the edge of the reef, that's when you'll encounter currents flowing out of the bay.
Parking is very limited and may be an issue on weekends, but the beach is quiet during the week. A couple episodes of the TV show Gilligan's Island were filled here. Be sure to check out the below Moloaa Bay Virtual Tour. You must have Flash player installed.

For Immediate Release
Chicago, IL – July 13, 2012 – Zacks.com announces the list of stocks featured in the Analyst Blog. Every day the Zacks Equity Research analysts discuss the latest news and events impacting stocks and the financial markets. Stocks recently featured in the blog include Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (TEVA), Mylan (MYL), Momenta Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (MNTA), General Electric Company (GE) and A123 Systems Inc. (AONEQ).
Get the most recent insight from Zacks Equity Research with the free Profit from the Pros newsletter: http://at.zacks.com/?id=5513
Here are highlights from Thursday's Analyst Blog:
Another Copaxone Win for Teva
Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (TEVA) recently announced another favorable decision regarding its Copaxone patent. The company said that the United Kingdom High Court of Justice ruled in its favor in its patent litigation against Mylan's (MYL) subsidiary, Generics (:UK) Limited.
Generics (:UK) Limited had asked the Court to revoke Copaxone's European Patent (:UK) 762,888, which is scheduled to expire on May 23, 2015. Generics (:UK) Limited was also seeking to get a declaration that its generic version of Copaxone would not infringe on the '888 patent.
The Court not only ruled that the '888 patent is valid, but it also refused to state that Generics UK's generic version of Copaxone would not infringe on it.
The favorable UK ruling comes just a few weeks after the US District Court for the Southern District of New York ruled in the company's favor in its Copaxone patent infringement lawsuit. Teva had filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Momenta Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (MNTA)/Sandoz Inc. and Mylan/Natco Pharmaceuticals, which were looking to launch their generic versions of Copaxone.
Copaxone is approved for the reduction of the frequency of relapses in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS), including patients who have experienced a first clinical episode and have MRI features consistent with multiple sclerosis.
Given the US court ruling, Copaxone should be protected from generic competition in the US until May 24, 2014, when the Orange Book patents are scheduled to expire. Teva believes that the protection could extend up to September 1, 2015, when the process patent is slated to expire.
The favorable rulings are a major positive for Teva. With Copaxone contributing 19.5% to total revenues in 2011, the earlier-than-expected entry of generic versions would have been a major setback for the company. Teva can now focus on extending Copaxone's life cycle.
The company recently announced positive top-line results on Copaxone from a phase III study, GALA, which was conducted to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Copaxone (40mg) administered thrice a week compared to placebo in patients with RRMS. The 40mg dose being evaluated in the GALA study is a higher strength compared to the 20mg dose currently available (daily injection).
Results showed that Copaxone 40mg significantly reduced disease activity. The safety and tolerability profile was also found to be favorable.
The positive rulings have removed a major overhang on the shares. We currently have a Neutral recommendation on Teva, which carries a Zacks #3 Rank (short-term Hold rating).
GE Expands Industrial Battery Business
General Electric Company (GE) intends to expand its growing industrial-battery business in order to generate $1 billion in annual revenue by the end of 2020. This expansion plan also reflects CEO Jeff Immelt's goal of generating $500 million a year from the industrial battery business by 2015/2016.
The global battery market values approximately $50 billion, out of which the U.S. is the single biggest market in the world with a market size of $5 billion annually. Demand is expected to grow substantially in the next five years.
The industrial battery business is a market with good potential. Since customers generally order in bulk for ongoing production activity, customer acquisition is a focus area. A few good customers ensure a steady revenue stream, allowing better alignment with the fixed cost structure, which in turn allows better cost absorption. GE has already received its first order for batteries from a South African engineering company, Megatron Federal, which requires 6,000 pieces for use as backup power supplies at telecommunications sites.
GE now plans to invest $170 million in a new factory, which is up from the $100 million it initially expected to spend on the manufacture of batteries.
The new plant is located in New York and will employ approximately 450 people. For construction of the plant, GE received $15 million from New York State authorities and $5 million from local officials.
However, the new factory is not GE's only investment in battery technology. The company also has a stake in A123 Systems Inc. (AONEQ), a maker of lithium-ion batteries used in electric and hybrid cars.
General Electric currently holds a Zacks Rank of #3, which implies a short term Hold rating on the stock.

Since I've been on Twitter, I've always privately congratulated myself over staying "unhacked" through all the phishing scams that most people fall for, especially when they're just starting out on the network. No tweet has been posted to my account that didn't come from me, at least up until last night when I saw "myself" tweeting this mass of nonsense –
My emotions cycled through WTH???, to horrified, to resigned, to "raised eyebrow curiousity" in 3 seconds flat. It took me another two seconds to realise that this wasn't the spammy, link-ridden drivel that compromised Twitter accounts send out. When you look at it closely, it's just an SMS delivery report.
id:1041011602 sub:001 dlvrd:001 submit date:1209092043 done date:1209092043 stat:DELIVRD err:000 text:1/2: Direct from @ob
— Bankole Oluwafemi (@MrBankole) September 9, 2012
The explanation is real simple. You can set up your Twitter account to forward tweets to you via SMS from specific sources. I set up mine to forward my direct messages so I'd never miss them even if I was offline. But up till last night, the transaction never published a delivery report right into my Tweetstream. It's a good thing I didn't get a lot of messages over the weekend.
I'm aware that quite a few people who subscribe to Twitter SMS updates are experiencing the same thing, so I've decided to disable the feature till Twitter figures out a way to stop their back-end intestinal fluids from leaking out into my Tweetstream. While it's not exactly "spam", it's still just as annoying, especially if you're subscribed to many Twitter sources.
If you're having the same issue, you can go here to disable the Twitter SMS feature (from a PC, mind you). Just uncheck all boxes in the text notification section, and you should be good.
By the way, why has no mainstream/global tech blog picked up this particular Twitter gaffe yet?


text: Texas Tech coach Dan Spencer has no doubt that Red Raiders junior righthander Chad Bettis will pitch in the major leagues. For him, it's a question of when, not if. Tulane coach Rick Jones, who coached Bettis last summer with Team USA, thinks he has a pretty good idea when.

We have considered linear partial differential algebraic equations (LPDAEs) of the form , which has at least one singular matrix of . We have first introduced a uniform differential time index and a differential space index. The initial conditions and boundary conditions of the given system cannot be prescribed for all components of the solution vector here. To overcome this, we introduced these indexes. Furthermore, differential transform method has been given to solve LPDAEs. We have applied this method to a test problem, and numerical solution of the problem has been compared with analytical solution.

Amity Shlaes, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, penned an August 18 Washington Post column examining five of the government's Depression-era mistakes that made financial matters worse. Shlaes, author of "The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression" cautioned today's lawmakers against following in those footsteps.
According to Shlaes, "perverse monetary policy was the greatest cause of the Great Depression." But there were five other mistakes in the 1930s that some politicians today seem ready to repeat.
- 1. Giving in to protectionism
- 2. Blaming the messenger
- 3. Increasing taxes in a downturn
- 4. Assuming bigger government will bring back growth
- 5. Ignoring the cost of inconsistency
"The proximate danger today is a repeat of the 1970s, not the 1930s. But if lawmakers don't remember the old missteps, they might find that their new recovery legislation imperils our recovery," said Shlaes.
Today's network news media have hyped similarities between the Great Depression and our current economy more than 40 times in the first four months of 2008. An analysis of two major weeks in stock market history - the week of the stock market crash in 1929 and the week of the Bear Stearns collapse in 2008 - found a dramatic different between the news coverage.
During the week of the 1929 stock market crash, daily news stories reported positive news more often than negative by a 4-to-1 ratio. The week that the Bear Stearns fall occurred, coverage was the complete opposite. Negative stories on ABC, CBS and NBC outnumbered positive 6-to-1.

Undeniably Awesome Self-Portraits (10 photos): "
Life Beings at 2AM is a series of self-portraits that New York-based actor Kam Khan thought up one late night. As he was browsing through the web, he found one image that he liked. Curious to see if he could replicate it himself, he decided to 'reverse engineer' the photo, setting up a stage in his living room. Then...in his words..this is what happened:
'I grabbed my trusty Rebel and started shooting. Standing there in my living room I adjusted the lights, checked the settings, checked against the original photo, and was pleasantly surprised by the results. The next night the same thing happened. This time with a different lighting setups, all with me standing in my living room. By the third night I got bored of just standing there and started to spin a nun-chuck.
'Oddly enough, it was at or after 2AM that I had started each of these shots. This became my creative hour. Seeing the results of that spinning nun-chuck also made me obsessed with capturing motion and energy. I started to jump. I started to throw things. I started to use water, milk, liquids. Cloth. Fire.
'I created nearly every image in the Life Begins at 2AM series at 2AM and finished it that same night, including all post production. With the exception of a handful of images, where I had to continue the next night, every image in the series started at 2AM and finished that night. I captured each image in camera, every water splash, flame, was all shot live and composited in. And every image was captured with the self-timer. Timing is everything.
'That's how it all began.'
At that moment, something clicked. (Pun intended.) He started to see photography as a creative outlet, one where he could use his acting abilities in a new and creative way. 'I had always loved photography as a kid and thought, 'Why wait any longer?' Once I started posting pics, putting the work out there and receiving the responses that I did, it changed my philosophy towards photography.'
Kam even ended up putting his cat Choral in his photos, making her an integral and amazing part of his series.
When asked what kind of advice he could give others, here is what Kam said, 'Create every day. It can be anything, even a doodle, but do something creative every day. No one needs to see it, no one has to critique it, but it feels good to do anything creative. I wished more people did, might give them the outlet to use their energy to be creative rather than destructive.'

I've been reading this for as long as I've been on the radio. Print it off, put it on the fridge and make sure your whole family sees it. It shows the true impact of drinking and driving has. If it saves one life it's worth it.
I went to a party, Mom
You told me not to drink, Mom
so I had a sprite instead.
I felt proud of myself, Mom
the way you said I would,
that I didn't drink and drive, Mom
though some friends said I should.
I made a healthy choice, Mom
and your advice to me was right
as the party finally ended, Mom
and the kids drove out of sight.
I got into my car, Mom
sure to get home in one piece,
I never knew what was coming, Mom
something I expected least.
Now I'm lying on the pavement, Mom
And I hear the policeman say,
The kid that caused this wreck was drunk,"
Mom, His voice seems far away.
My own blood's all around me, Mom
as I try hard not to cry.
I can hear the paramedic say, Mom
This girl is going to die."
I'm sure the guy had no idea, Mom
while he was flying high,
because he chose to drink and drive, Mom
now I would have to die.
So why do people do it, Mom
Knowing that it ruins lives?
And now the pain is cutting me, Mom
like a hundred stabbing knives.
Tell sister not to be afraid, Mom
tell daddy to be brave,
and when I go to heaven, Mom
put "Daddy's Girl" on my grave.
Someone should have taught him, Mom
that its wrong to drink and drive.
Maybe if his parents had, Mom
I'd still be alive.
My breath is getting shorter, Mom
I'm getting really scared.
These are my final moments, Mom
and I'm so unprepared.
I wish that you could hold me Mom,
as I lie here and die.
I wish that I could say I love you, Mom
So I love you and good-bye.

Been unable to reproduce (ACE build 290).
In attached mission, order unit 2 to get in the hmmwv, when he's in, order him to go somewhere far north.
When he's moving try to teamswitch into him. There seems to be no issues.
Teamswitching back to your own unit, telling 2 to move around again, even yourself running around, and then teamswitch again, still no issue.
Is it possible that the player was very exhausted at the moment of teamSwitch, or no indication of Stamina or whatsoever ?
What kind of weight are the units carrying? The player unit, and the unit that is switched into.
Possibly something to do with Stamina and teamswitch improvements?

My 7-year-old daughter is an investor!
When she receives gifts of money (birthdays/Christmas), we have a requirement that she must take at least half of it and place it in her college fund or her new car fund (Yes, we do have a car fund – driving is ONLY 9 years ago).
What is she investing in for her college fund?
- Aggressive Growth Stock Mutual Funds
- Growth Stock Mutual Funds
What is she investing in for her car fund?
- A miserable savings account. This is changing next week!
- It will be moving into growth stock mutual funds.
You might think that I am a FREAK. You might think that my daughter is being mistreated because Jenn and I are requiring her to invest her gifts of money. You might think that we are robbing her of enjoyment of her childhood.
I would just say this – MY DAUGHTER WILL NOT BE B-R-O-K-E!!! We are equipping her to WIN. We are teaching her to PLAN. We are demonstrating in the most tangible way possible that DEBT IS DUMB, INVESTORS WIN, BROKE IS HORRIBLE, DREAMS ARE ACHIEVABLE, A LITTLE INVESTED ALL OF THE TIME MAKES YOU WEALTHY.
Can you say "Paid-for 1st card?", "Paid-for college education?", and "Paid-for 1st house?"
If you are not teaching your kids how to manage money well, YOU ARE FAILING AS A PARENT!!!

Race Car Driver Henry Ford – Dale's Daily Data
Auto racing has the biggest fan following in the world. More fans attend car races than any other sport. And on this date in 1901 Henry Ford himself drove in a car race at Grosse Point, Michigan for the first and last time. Ford had a talent for building and promoting cars, but in the early years it wasn't the practical uses of a car that attracted the most attention. It was the thrill of racing them. Ford had been building cars since 1896 and recognized that people enjoyed watching car races, so he decided to cash in his name as a race car builder and driver.

[USA-JAMAICA] The USA will clinch the Hexagonal title for the third straight time if it beats Jamaica and Honduras defeats Costa Rica Friday.
The USA will look to match its Hexagonal record of having allowed no goals in all five home games with a shutout against Jamaica. In 2005, it won all five
home games by a margin of 10-0. It's won the first four home games this year by a margin of 6-0.
The USA will clinch the Hexagonal
title for the third straight time if it beats Jamaica and Honduras beats Costa Rica in San Pedro Sula Friday. Wins over Jamaica and Panama will give it 22 points, matching its record set in 2005. The
Hexagonal record for points is 23, set by Costa Rica in 2001.
U.S. Hexagonal Records:
16 (5-1-2 -- first) 2013
20 (6-2-2 -- first) 2009
22 (7-1-2 -- first) 2005
17 (5-2-3 -- third) 2001
17 (4-5-1 -- second) 1997
Only four starters in the USA's Hexagonal opener against Honduras are available Friday night: Tim Howard, Geoff Cameron, Jermaine Jones and Jozy Altidore. Not called in were Timmy Chandler, Fabian Johnson, Danny Williams, Michael Bradley and Clint Dempsey, while Omar Gonzalez and Eddie
Johnson have pulled out because of injuries.
No U.S. player will have played more than eight of 10 Hexagonal games in this cycle.
Dempsey and Gonzalez are the only players who have started all eight games, but neither player is in camp. Of the players in camp, only DaMarcus Beasley,
Howard, Jones and Altidore have started as many as six of the first eight games.

MMA Fan Helps Capture Alleged Murderer, Gets Thanks from Dana White
Wow, i don't know how i'd react if such a mad man was standing in front of me. That guy is a hero indeed.
You are getting old. There are already at least two threads on that topic :)
ooops. sorry I thought I had a scoop.:confused02:
Is senility one of the things our mods are trained to handle?
If there is enough space, you want to run. Use everything there is as a barrier between the attacker and you. Cars, trees, fences, tables, stools. If you are in a closed space with nowhere to run, try to get a (improvised) weapon, best something big which creates distancs like a bar chair, trash can.
If there is nothing available and you have enough time you want to use your jacket to help your defense. Hold it like a Spanish torrero in front of you, that creates a psychological wall between you and the attacker. He can't see your whole body anymore which makes it harder for him to aim for his attack. Also if he thrusts you may try to trap the knife hand with your jacket.
If there is no improvised weapon available and no time to make your jacket ready, you might try the Jon Fitch style approach as last resort:
Wait as long as he is not engaging and in your range. As long he is not in range he cannot hurt you, but as soon as he gets into range go for his knife arm with BOTH of your hands. Some people say that you shouldn't, because that leaves your opponent one free arm to act, but first the knife is your primarily concern and second if he is not a trained fighter he will most likely be absolutely focussed on his knife and not use his other limbs as weapons, because subconsciously there is a huge disbalance in the effectiveness of dealing damage between a knife (weapon) and his bare fist. You can try that out in training. Even with a rubber knife in training people will mostly try to get the knife arm free instead of attacking with their free limbs. That happens even in the Fitch clip above.
While controlling his knife arm you want to stomp kick at his legs trying to break his knee or what ever is best available. You want to immobilise him as much as possible due to damage and look all the time for an opportunity to get away.
Woah that cut on the back of his head is huge, he's a very brave and lucky guy. The nutcase who did it wasn't a small dude either, he messed with the wrong man though.
This is one time when lay n pray is some good shit :thumb02:
AWESOME X 10!!!! I will never criticize MMA again.
Well, unless it's the shit pay Dana gives most of his fighters. :)
