Gas Drill by Molly Lamb Bobak. Courtesy Beaverbrook Collection of War Art/Canadian War Museum. (Click image to enlarge)
Painter Molly Lamb Bobak, whose vibrant canvases can be found in collections throughout the country, started her career as the first Canadian woman to be sent overseas as an official war artist.
Fresh out of art school, she joined the Canadian Women's Army Corps in 1942. She longed to be sent overseas and follow in the footsteps of her family friend A.Y. Jackson, who had been a war artist during the First World War.
"I'd been in the army three years, just begging to be a war artist," Ms. Bobak told the CBC in 1993.
After V-E Day in Europe, she got her wish and was sent to London. There she met her future husband, 21-year-old Bruno Bobak, Canada's youngest war artist. The couple soon married. Ms. Bobak remained with the women's corps until 1946, documenting their training, marching and working.
"She had the ability to depict uniquely women's experiences," Laura Brandon, director of research, exhibition and interpretation at the Canadian War Museum said of Ms. Bobak, who died of esophageal cancer on March 1 at the age of 94 at the Veterans Health Unit in Fredericton.
"[Her art] was very personal," Dr. Brandon said. "It's an art about shared experiences and sharing those experiences." She added: "It is almost like conversational art."
Her painting Gas Drill, for example, shows a group of women trying on black gas masks. All looking in different directions, the women appear curious but not sure what to do with the masks, Dr. Brandon said. Ms. Bobak also painted backstage at army shows, depicting women getting dressed for the performances, and at a wedding feast, where she focused on the luscious food.
Throughout her life, Ms. Bobak remained supportive of Canada's war art. In 2000, on opening night of the exhibition Canvas of War – Masterpieces from the Canadian War Museum, which included work by both Mr. and Ms. Bobak, the couple sat eagerly in the front row.
Ms. Bobak was best known for her large, dynamic crowd scenes, such as parades and marches, which she started painting during the war. Over the years, she captured skaters on the Saint John River, athletes on the University of New Brunswick football field, various parades and processions, as well as local events in Fredericton such as the raising of the cross on the restored copper spire of Christ Church Cathedral.
"Each one of her paintings reveals something unique and personal as seen through her eyes. They are celebratory in their beauty," said Cindy Richmond, who organized a major retrospective in 1993 of her work at Regina's MacKenzie Art Gallery. "There is nothing pretentious about her work," she added. "Her authenticity is a large part of her work."
When she wasn't painting crowd scenes, Ms. Bobak had her watercolour brush in hand to capture the random beauty of flowers. Often she painted wildflowers or blooms in her husband's garden at their Fredericton home.
"I love flowers," she told the CBC in 1993. "Poppies [are] like crowds; they move in the wind. You don't organize them. You don't settle them into something. You paint them as they are, blowing or moving or dying or coming to birth and that is how it is with my crowds. I see something and it is spontaneous and it's moving and it's about the movement of something like crowds and colour or flowers and colour."
Everything she knew about watercolours, she once said, she learned from her husband. "I think she was inspired by what he was doing in that medium and ran with it," their son, Alex Bobak, said. "It was pretty magical to watch her with a watercolour brush."
Born in 1920 on Lulu Island, in the estuary of the Fraser River outside Vancouver, Ms. Bobak lived a privileged, though unconventional childhood. Her mother, Mary Williams, initially worked as a housekeeper for her father, Harold Mortimer-Lamb. At some point, her parents decided to move in together, along with Mr. Mortimer-Lamb's wife and their children. Molly was born and they all seemed to live happily together as an extended family.
Mr. Mortimer-Lamb was a wealthy art critic and collector who befriended Emily Carr and members of the Group of Seven, including A.Y. Jackson, who sometimes visited the family. Her father was also a photographer and painter, and filled their home with Buddha statues, pottery and wall hangings from Asia.
Not fond of school, Ms. Bobak received encouragement from her mother to study art. She enrolled at the Vancouver School of Art (now the Emily Carr University of Art and Design) and met artist Jack Shadbolt. He encouraged her development as an artist and remained a friend and mentor throughout her life.
After the war, the Bobaks had their son, Alex, and tried to make a living on the West Coast by painting and teaching. They later had a daughter. During those years, as she raised her children and taught painting at night school, it was hard for Ms. Bobak to make time for her own painting. But she remained committed to it and was among the first generation of Canadian women artists to earn a living from their art.
In 1960, she and her family moved to Fredericton, where Mr. Bobak became artist-in-residence at the University of New Brunswick and director of the university's art centre. They fell in love with the city and over the years contributed greatly to the visual arts scene there and throughout the province.
At their various homes in Fredericton, the Bobaks kept separate studios. While Mr. Bobak worked mostly in his studio at the university, Ms. Bobak painted at home. Calling herself a rather sloppy artist in the studio, she said her husband was the opposite. Terry Graff, director at Fredericton's Beaverbrook Art Gallery, remembers visiting the Bobaks' home in 2008. When he asked them how they had influenced each other's work over the years, he realized it was the wrong question to ask. "Molly was very quick to let me know that Bruno had not influenced her work in any way, and then Bruno immediately said the exact same thing about Molly. I chuckled to myself and quickly changed the subject," he said.
After moving to Fredericton, Mr. Bobak settled in and didn't enjoy travelling, but Ms. Bobak continued to travel whenever asked. She never refused a teaching request, whether it was to visit an elementary school or to do a three-day painting workshop with a group of middle-aged women in British Columbia. "I think she enjoyed teaching as much as painting," Alex Bobak said.
Dr. Brandon remembers taking a painting course with Ms. Bobak on PEI more than 30 years ago. After being inspired by the artist, Dr. Brandon painted wildflowers for two days, refusing to move on to another subject.
"She was an incredible teacher," Dr. Brandon said. "She had a respect for people's engagement."
A small woman, who might be described as bird-like in appearance, Ms. Bobak wore thick glasses because of her poor eyesight, and cared little for fashionable clothes. A warm and generous person, she not only mentored aspiring artists, but charmed almost everyone she met.
"Molly was a storyteller. You could call her a raconteur," Ms. Richmond said.
She liked to take a bus from Fredericton to Montreal just on the chance that she might meet someone interesting. "She had a spontaneous joy in people and dogs and that translated into her paintings. Her paintings are all upbeat," Alex Bobak said.
When she wasn't working, she loved to walk. With her sketchpad, she roamed through Fredericton and along the Saint John River. In the winter, she cross-country skied. She had her favourite spots to pick blackberries, fiddleheads and wild mushrooms.
"She drew, drew, drew all the time," said Inge Pataki, owner of Fredericton's Gallery 78.
Ms. Bobak continued to paint and draw every day until she was 84. Her eyesight had grown so bad that one day she simply stopped painting. Not wanting to produce a work of art she considered inferior, she never painted again. Her decision didn't seem to bother her, Alex Bobak said. She continued to visit with friends and walk. She was loved by all the kids and dogs in her neighbourhood.
For their work, Ms. Bobak and her husband were both named to the Order of Canada in 1995. In her honour, the Canadian War Museum has placed 10 of her paintings on display in the hallway leading to the exhibitions until March 31.
"She generated enthusiasm in everyone she met," Ms. Richmond said. "She was full of passion. She instilled that passion in her subjects."
Ms. Bobak leaves her son, Alex; daughter, Anny; and granddaughter, Julia. Her husband died in 2012.

The God of Longevity, With Attendant
Ren Yi
Gallery 13,
The Khoan and Michael Sullivan Gallery of Chinese Painting
1. Wisteria, Wu
Gallery 13, in the low case directly opposite the Object of the Month.
The artist who produced this exquisite piece also provided the calligraphy
for Ren Yis God of Longevity, With Attendant. First of all a renowned
poet and calligrapher, only later considering himself a painter, Wu Changshuo
has captured the beautiful form of this mauve-coloured wisteria. Notice
how the soft and delicate rendering of the hanging flowers contrasts with
the bold inked outlines of the leaves.
Exit the Chinese Paintings Gallery via the stairs near the small lift.
Once in the next gallery, look in the first case to your right.
2. Inkstone
Bottom shelf, centre
This highly decorative and colourful inkstone would have been used in
the painting process. The ink, in stick form, would have been ground with
water into the white part of the inkstone and the resulting liquid ink
would have collected in the small well, ready to be used.
3. Brushrests
Middle shelf
These two blue and white brushrests are designed to hold four brushes.
4. Sealstones
Floor case to your left.
Most of these sealstones are imperial and carved with suitably grand decorations.
However, at least one (a small, but tall, brownish seal stone with accession
number 1970.49) belonged to an artist and may well have been used to authenticate
his work. The inscription on the side reads [Engraved by] Sanqiao....
Sanqiao was a pen name of Weng Pen (1489-1573), a famous painter, poet
and seal carver.

As a young boy growing up in the German town of Saarbrücken,
"In high school I wanted to be an artist. You watch movies when you're a teenager and I became really interested in anything to do with animation. I got really caught by special effects and the sub-fields of computer science and computer graphics," says Hao.
As his interest developed he became increasingly aware of the limitations of existing technology.
"By early 2000 people could see visual effects were lacking a bit of momentum. Special effects were no longer that special. I was starting to wonder what their future would be," he says.
Hao is part of that future. He began working in computer vision (a specialist sub-field of computer science developing algorithms based on visual perception to explain how the physical world functions) to bring content from the physical world to the digital world.
"I developed a core algorithm – called a correspondence algorithm – that finds connections between different shapes from a geometric perspective. If you can do that and capture it in 3D, you can connect it with something the computer understands. It's not only about creating something that looks nice, it also teaches the computer about the physical objects they see. We took this further and developed techniques for facial animation capture. We're using all these computer graphics and computer vision technologies that we've developed over the years and trying to solve real world problems and develop applications that are useful for ordinary people," he says.
Pioneering work
Hao's pioneering work in the field of 3D visualisation has brought plenty of opportunities. He was appointed research lead at
Hao's algorithms are widely used beyond special effects and in demand from the gaming, defence and medical industries. His software can analyse data collected by cameras with depth sensors. It lets radiation therapy to be targeted with pinpoint precision at tumours under the skin. Cardiology researchers used the technology to assess the performance and impact of drugs on a beating human heart.
As assistant professor of computer science at the University of Southern California, Hao says he has the best of both worlds. "It's really cool to be back in academia because you can define your own work and who you want to work with. Instead of working with one company, you're working with 10."
There is no shortage of businesses to work with Hao. He is renowned for his innovation and was named one of the world's top 35 innovators under 35 by MIT Technology Review in 2013 and NextGen 10: Innovators under 40 by C-Suite Quarterly in 2014.
He says the secret of successful innovation is mixing with people. "You can't innovate if you're sitting inside a room and don't see the rest of the world. You need to be in an environment with people who think all the time. You need to understand people, be open and connect to be inspired. You need to balance ideas and see what is out there. You also need to be trained to develop new things and think out of the box. It's important to take risks too. If you're inexperienced you might make 10 mistakes, but you might have one great idea nobody has thought of."
Next generation challenges
Hao takes chances. His team is exploring next generation challenges, such as digitising human hair. "Sometimes we do research motivated by the fact that we can do it or we know how to do it or it's cool to do it or nobody has done it before. You have to do something that people haven't done before and it has to be crazy to get someone's attention. Sometimes things turn out not to be useful, but we try to avoid that.
"We have that luxury. That's the separation between industry and academia. Not everything has to be motivated by the need to bring money in. We're not building products."
The Australian Financial Review

text: Towncenter Xpress Shuttle Service Expanded Posted: Thursday, October 17, 2013 at 10:40 AM Article by: Janet PaulsonDue to increased student demand, Clackamas Community College is adding a second free shuttle bus during peak hours from the end of the MAX Green Line at Clackamas Town Center to Clackamas Community College's Oregon City campus. The new schedule is effective immediately. With the support of a $30,000 TriMet grant, CCC provides free shuttle service eight hours a day, Monday through Thursday and on Friday mornings. Service is offered during the academic year, but not during breaks. During the first week of classes, the shuttle was full at peak times, and some students were turned away and given bus passes. CCC solicited a bid to add another shuttle during high-use times in mornings and afternoons. CCC will continue to monitor ridership and will adjust shuttle schedules based on student needs. Bus transportation from the Town Center to CCC in Oregon City can take up to two hours. The shuttle is able to transport students between the two locations in 20-25 minutes, providing a significant benefit to students who rely on public transportation between the Town Center and the Oregon City campus. Riders meet the Towncenter Xpress shuttle bus in the parking lot under the MAX Green Line stop. At CCC, the bus meets riders near the bus turnaround at the main entrance of the college. The schedule is posted on the CCCwebsite. The service is open to the public and there is no cost for passengers. For more information, contact Janet Paulson at 503-594-3162.

Director of Ikari Pavement Pte Ltd (Capeta)
First up would be a real dark horse, the baldy short and mustachioed Director of Ikari Pavement Pte Ltd from Capeta! He doesn't even get his own name but is a major driving force behind Capeta's success on the kart tracks. Director started his business from scratch and made it moderately successful through sheer hard work and good morals, treating his employees especially Papa Capeta very well but never spoiling them. Director's always offering words of wisdom to the less experienced and he does so not in a sweet sissy way but a gruff, manly and indirect tone, forcing them to think hard, reflect and understand the true meaning of his words. He's manly! The true star of Capeta!
Wisdom is manly.
Azuma Kazuma (Yakitate Japan)
Nothing is more attractive than a man totally immersed in his passion and going all out to achieve greatness. It helps if he's good at what he does too. Azuma is no doubt the most sincere, creative and focused professional ever seen in anime. Nothing distracts him from his love of Ja-pan and he's a family man too. Note that his twin sister Kouda Akari also shares his personality but instead is going for an acting career, though she lacks talent.
Talent and effort are manly.
Ukiya Shun (Gatekeepers)
One of the traits of a manly man is forcefulness. Ukiya Shun, with guts, willpower and his Gate of Cyclone, destroys all the bad guys and saves the day. Having cool attack moves and a great car also make him very manly. ULTRA SENPUU KIRI!! SHINKUU MISSILE!!
Powerups are manly.
Big attack moves are manly.
Harima Kenji (School Rumble)
A true man is capable of true love. He's willing to sacrifice himself and dedicate his all for his girl. He'll embarrass himself doing silly things just to get noticed. Harima Kenji is the epitome of the much-loved clueless baka Manly Man.
Dimwits are manly.
Honda Shigeharu (Major)
One of the roads to becoming a Manly Man is through being a great father. Honda led the son, Goro, onto the path of baseballing greatness by setting a fine example and imparting tremendous moral values. And his manliness is augmented by the successful capture of Goro's kindergarten school teacher, Momoko and his tragic death from a deadball after hitting the greatest homerun in Japanese Baseball history (in the Major world of course).
Fathers are manly.
Homeruns are manly.
Asakura Yoh (Shaman King Manga)
Being manly isn't all about size and physique. Yoh has arguably the greatest personality and thought processes of all shounen heroes created. Being all laidback and calm at all times, even during crises, Yoh can be relied upon when there's trouble. It helps that his fiancee Anna is uber Tsundere, letting Yoh show his caring and accomdating side. All Manly Men have a sensitive and caring side too you know. And his Oversoul is cool. Did I mention that he's a headphone guy too? Headphone guys are manly. Please see SK manga volume 19 and 20.
Headphones are manly.
Horo Horo (Shaman King Manga)
Two characters from SK made it into the chart! Horo Horo is generally crap, except for one specific incident – the Apollo arc. During this short story arc, Horo Horo reveals his beliefs (manly ones) and these beliefs propel him to the dizzy heights of manhood. He says (more or less, I read it a few years ago), "It's alright to take [animal] lives if you're hunting them for food, or for survival. Make use of the body, the meat and the skin it leaves behind well and offer gratitude to the spirits of those that have sacrificed for us, in this natural cycle. But no one can be forgiven if he kills for fun alone and wastes life." And he proceeds to beat the shit out of the poachers who were hunting bears for sport, with his Oversoul. Truly a manly nature lover.
Nature lovers are manly.
Iceblades are manly.
Suitengu Chouji (Speed Grapher)
Vengeance is another gate to manliness and Suitengu is the revenge warrior of the decade. With cunning, ruthlessness and patience, he uses the powers of economics to tear down the entire fabric of the society that so destroyed his life. Hmph Sasuke really is a candle compared to the volcano that is Suitengu. It is manly, when one sets out with a massive goal and achieves it after much planning, hardwork, single-mindedness and selfishness.
Vengeance is manly.
Renton Thurston (Eureka seveN)
Growing up is part of being manly. There is no such thing as a perfect man and someone who learns, reflects and improves himself constantly in both heart and mind is a Manly Man. I don't believe there's a protagonist who has changed and grown more than Renton. Compare episode 1 to episode 50 and even our manly hearts flutter with respect! RESPECT!
Growing up is manly.
Hananakajima Masaru (Sugoi yo! Masaru-san aka Sexy Commando Gaiden)
Doing randomly funny stuff for his own pleasure, not caring what others think of him and having supreme confidence in himself are what Masaru's manliness encompass. His great fighting skills and love of defending the weak are also manly. Very very manly. His dress style is uniquely manly as well.
Over-the-top insanity is manly.
Drake (Read or Die)
Being manly doesn't mean being in the spotlight. Supporting from the back, being totally reliable in spite of no special powers or good looks, standing guard while your allies rest, shielding girls from deadly paper attacks with your bare muscles are also ways to being listed in the Manly Hall of Fame. Drake, the American pony-tailed beefcake, is one of the rare ROD characters who do not possess special powers other than guts, willpower, reliability, resourcefulness and fatherly love. A true underdog, a great Manly man.
Unsung heroes are manly.
I listed eleven but I'm sure there are more. Do add on to this list! And no retarded Prince of Tennis type pretty faces allowed!

A Marietta man was arrested within hours of his alleged Gainesville bank heist and getaway by taxicab, officers said.
Gainesville Police investigators took Tracy Dan Schwartz, 36, into custody without incident on Friday at the Walmart in Cumming. He's charged with robbery by intimidation.
Schwartz is accused of walking into the Wells Fargo Bank on Browns Bridge Road at Pearl Nix Parkway at 11:22 a.m.
Friday and warning a teller he had a gun before demanding money, said Master Police Officer Joe Britte, the department's spokesman. Schwartz fled with an undisclosed amount of cash, police said.
No one was injured in the robbery, and witnesses told police they did not see a weapon.
Someone with knowledge of the suspect and his whereabouts called Gainesville Police, which led to his arrest, said Lt. Carol Martin, commander of the Criminal Investigations Division. The Cumming Police Department assisted with the arrest.
"The investigators did a great job and worked as a team," Martin said.
Initially, police believed the suspect ran west on Browns Bridge Road toward the Big Lots Shopping Plaza, based on witness statements. A Georgia State Patrol helicopter assisted with aerial surveillance following the crime.
Gainesville investigators secured the scene quickly with yellow crime tape and later distributed images taken from surveillance cameras at the bank.
The image showed a young-looking man in sunglasses, a camouflage ball cap and a long-sleeved shirt dark in color with light horizontal stripes. T-shirts visible underneath the suspect's shirt were colored red and white, Britte said.
Investigators at first said he might have layered his clothing and removed shirts as he ran. But they later learned he hailed a taxicab and headed for Cumming, nearly 20 miles southwest of Gainesville, Martin said.
Told Schwartz was dropped off near the Walmart in Cumming, investigators hoped to find him on surveillance video at the store, Martin said. Instead detectives located Schwartz in the store.
Reached before the arrest, bank officials in Gainesville said they were not authorized to speak with the media.
Business at the Wells Fargo branch, located at 1368 Browns Bridge Road, appeared to return to normal soon after the robbery. The crime tape was gone and customer traffic remained steady.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation also was told about the robbery. The agency formerly handled all bank robbery cases. However, the FBI's post-9/11 policies changed to free more agents for counter-terrorism cases and robberies in which weapons clearly were brandished, explained Special Agent Stephen Emmett, spokesman for the Atlanta field office.
"We're advised of a bank robbery. We still track (them). But if it's an unarmed robbery then it will be coordinated through the local police department," Emmett said.
A reason for tracking all bank robberies is to determine how, if at all, crimes may be connected, Emmett said, speaking generally.
Martin said the department's investigation of Schwartz and Friday's robbery still is ongoing.

The Nerazzurri have given their new Uruguay international his maiden starting birth, playing in a midfield three, as Roma hand debut to Destro
Inter will hand Alvaro Pereira his first start of the season, as the Uruguay international comes in to replace Esteban Cambiasso for the game against Roma at San Siro on Sunday night.
The former Porto man will play alongside Freddy Guarin and Walter Gargano, who will support Wesley Sneijder in the No.10 role.
Elsewhere for the Nerazzurri, they are relatively unchanged from the side that beat Pescara last weekend. Antonio Cassano joins Diego Milito up front, whilst Luca Castellazzi retains his place in goal as Samir Handanovic remains injured.
For Roma, Zdenek Zeman makes three changes from the side that drew 2-2 with Catania last weekend. Miralem Pjanic and Michael Bradley lose their place in the starting XI to Alessandro Florenzi and Panagiotis Tachtsidis.
Up front, former Inter youth player Mattia Destro comes in for his first start, replacing Erik Lamela.
Otherwise, it is an unchanged Giallorossi team, as they look for their first three points under the Czech coach.
Inter (4-3-1-2): Castellazzi; Zanetti, Silvestre, Ranocchia, Nagatomo; Guarin, Gargano, Pereira; Sneijder; Cassano, Milito
Roma (4-3-3): Stekelenburg; Piris, Burdisso, Castan, Balzaretti; Florenzi, Tachtsidis, De Rossi; Destro, Osvaldo, Totti

jane: WHAT THE HECK WHY DO PEOPLE KILL RABBITS WHEN THERE HARMLESS
Harrison William: nice shooting
tskfrcdgr: you a bitch, african american
irishpigeonshooters: First of all how do you think meat ends up in the supermarket. Do you think that animals just roll over and die when the shelves become empty. All of our shots are headshots and what we don't eat ourselves go to a game dealer for processing. Secondly despite what you may think the animal does not suffer. We would rather not take the shot at all than risk hitting them in the body and causing a slow death. There is enough warnings on this video so WHY did you watch it just to complain about it.
irishpigeonshooters: Yeah exactly, They are a nuisance to this particular piece of land and what we don't eat ourselves go's to the game dealer, Cheers
Kevin Koala: idk people who want to eat and who believe they should only eat what they hunt not packedged prosessed food, people eat EVERYTHING and rabbits are just another wild animal.
hannah turner: this is so sad who would want to KILL RABBITS U JACKHOLEs!!! :(
RAYMONDJWISSING: i am not complanning very good shot video very cool pest rabbit and eating it lmao
RAYMONDJWISSING: very good shot and killed nice shot
irishpigeonshooters: We use Eley Subs, its very good ammo. Very quiet and accurate....
Jack Merton: what ammo did you use? good shooting
guerrierodelgiaguaro: Congratulations Comrade!
TaliskerLaphroaig: We don't have rabbits in that number around here anymore. The hawks, owls, foxes, coyotes, wolves and cougars have almost eradicated them. I shoot prairie dogs with my CZ 452, to beyond 200 yards. My Burris Timberline 4.5-14x32mm ballistic reticle scope never shifts zero and the zero stays fixed while zooming. Of course, gamebirds are a much easier target with the CZ 452 than my Browning 12 gauge shotgun. Saw a cougar paw print the other day that was wider than my hand, but saw no rabbits.
Schools: Learn how to get phlebotomy training in California! The job pays decent money for the amount of schools needed to graduate.

There may be five Democratic candidates for governor but on the Republican side, one name is on the list: Brian Dubie. We continue our series of interviews with the 2010 gubernatorial candidates in an interview with Dubie. The Air Force Reserve and commercial airline pilot was elected to four terms as lieutenant governor starting in 2002. And now the former school board member is making a bid for the state's top office. He talks with VPR's Steve Zind about his candidacy.

In a Nov. 23 editorial headlined "Challenges that we must face," the News-Sentinel named overpopulation as one of the most pressing social issues of our era.
The article stressed the complexity of dealing with overpopulation, linked too many people to ever-increasing urban sprawl and pointed out that one reason for America's huge increase in population over the past three decades is "immigration from places where the birth rate is much higher than ours."
That is to say, for the last 30 years, Americans have been having replacement level families - two children per family on average. The average number of children in an immigrant family is nearly four.
Immigrant family size is an important and underestimated factor in population growth. Using present immigration levels as a guideline, the U.S. can anticipate that the total immigrant population - legal and illegal - will increase by 70 million between today and 2050.
But because of children born to immigrants, the total immigration-related increase in U.S. population during the same period will be more than 95 million. Since those children will be U.S. born, they will be American citizens and thus referred to in some population studies as part of "a natural increase." This is an enormously misleading statement that can be effectively used - as we will soon see - by those who want to trivialize immigration's impact.
The News-Sentinel piece demonstrated a good understanding of overpopulation. Imagine, then, my surprise when the editorial recommended "Putting the Pieces Together," a 27-page report compiled by Washington, D.C.'s Urban Land Institute. According to the News-Sentinel, the report, which suggests ways to improve how California grows, is "stimulating."
In truth, "Putting the Pieces Together" is a transparent hodge-podge of politically correct nonsense without a snowball's chance of having the slightest impact on the crisis that is California growth.
As anyone with two eyes in his head can tell you, to intelligently discuss California's growth, you must - impossible though it is for many - include the consequences of mass immigration.
In my column last week, I referenced a new study by Dr. Steven A. Camarota of the Center for Immigration Studies titled "Immigration in 2002, A Snapshot" which revealed that, according to the U.S. Census Current Population Survey, more than 650,000 legal and illegal immigrants have come to California between January 2000 and March 2002.
On June 19, 2001, Camarota testified before the House Judiciary Committee on the relationship between unchecked immigration and urban sprawl and congestion. Using the conservative middle level census projection of 70 million people added by immigration over the next 50 years will, according to Dr. Camarota, require approximately 30 million new housing units. Remember that this is a conservative projection; the Census Bureau has historically erred on the low side.
Let's use our heads. Each of the 1,700 daily new arrivals to California will require housing, transportation, schools and roads. If the Urban Institute wants to publish glossy brochures pledging its dedication to preserving farmland and advocating "smart growth," fine. But those are nothing but empty words unless federal immigration policy is addressed.
Look around - wherever in California you may live - and point out any evidence of smart growth. California's growth has converted prime agricultural land into housing tracts which has led to increased traffic, pollution and a vastly deteriorated quality of life.
Residents of the San Joaquin Valley are painfully aware of population growth's price. The cities that make up the Valley - Bakersfield, Fresno, Modesto, Stockton, Sacramento and our own Lodi - are experiencing faster growth than Los Angeles County.
And if you don't think that things can change before your very eyes, the American Farmland Trust reminds us that a mere 40 years ago, Los Angeles was the most productive agricultural county in America.
Lodi is coping as best it can with overpopulation's burden. But that translates to not very well.
Wal-Mart, Big Kmart and Target are here. Lowe's is knocking on the door. And 17 housing developments are underway in "lovable, livable Lodi" at this very moment. Five projects were completed within the last two years
And all this "progress" is taking place in our once quaint community of 12 square miles.

THERE were few prouder men than Dursley Colts coach Phil Sprague when watching England beat France in a thrilling Six Nations encounter at the Stade de France on Sunday.
Ben Morgan and Charlie Sharples were playing together for the first time since they were young protégées under Sprague at Dursley under-15s and both were heavily involved as Stuart Lancaster's young guns triumphed 24-22 against the side who dumped them out of the World Cup on their way to the final just five months ago.
Gloucester winger Sharples, 22, was handed his first international start and a tournament debut after David Strettle failed a fitness test on Saturday, but was harshly sent to the sin bin in the second half for what referee Alain Rolland deemed a deliberate knock-on.
Scarlets No 8 Morgan, 23, won plenty of plaudits for a fine display in just his fourth cap, which included a superb break into the French 22 from the halfway line before a deft offload to Ben Foden for England's second try.
Sprague said: "It's one of rugby's biggest thrills to start in a game like that in Paris.
"Ben has come through terrifically and Charlie got an opportunity as well. Ben made a really good run for the second try and Sharples was extremely unlucky to be yellow carded.
"Both of them played very well and the club is thrilled for them.
"Hopefully Charlie will retain his place and grow in the squad just like Ben has done."
Morgan and Sharples both reacted to the victory on Twitter.
"Really enjoyed Paris, what a great feeling! Thanks for all your support," said Morgan.
Sharples said: "Fantastic result for the team, disappointed on a personal level but onwards and upwards! Thanks for all the messages of support!"
Sprague is still in regular contact with former Katharine Lady Berkeley's School pupil Morgan, who joined Dursley as a five-year-old and went through all the age groups before playing for the seniors.
Shortly after the Six Nations squad was announced Lancaster asked the players to name some of their major influences to answer key questions as part their preparation for the tournament and Morgan chose Sprague.
He said: "I was asked to give some words of advice on things that would inspire the players and I was delighted to do that. It was a great honour."
Morgan will soon be playing with Sharples on a regular basis after agreeing to move to Gloucester this summer, and both will hope to keep their place in the team when England face Ireland at Twickenham on Saturday with slim hopes of overhauling Grand Slam chasers Wales to win the Championship.

Premium 9H Tempered Glass Screen Protector for iPhone 6 & iPhone 6 Plus
Smudges, scratches and dents...we have all experienced it on our iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Quite often the sweat, makeup and excessive oil from our faces transfer onto our mobile phones. It's not only unhygienic but overtime using your device can leave behind scratches and cracks on the screen. So what are you doing to keep your mobile devices in perfect condition?
The answer is a Premium 9H Tempered Glass Screen Protector available for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. While you may be thinking a screen protector can cause an annoyance to use your device, a premium quality tempered glass screen protector is created with exceptional clarity and touch sensitivity that is affordable from Bling My Thing.
Tempered Glass vs. Ordinary PET (plastic) filmWith touch screens, we love the feel, clarity and functionality of the glass screen. Using an ordinary and cheap plastic protector can take away from the luxurious feeling and touch sensitivity. A high quality 9H hardness tempered glass is 3 times stronger than standard PET film, with anti-scratch and anti-fingerprint protection from smudges, finger-prints from even the toughest and strongest object. The extraordinary aspect of the Bling My Thing's 9H Tempered Glass Screen Protector is the bubble-free installation unlike the ordinary PET plastic. This easy application of the protector can even be removed without leaving any residue behind. The arc edge design creates a chip-resistant, durable barrier with a 2.5D rounded edge for precision application.
Benefits of Premium Tempered Glass Screen ProtectorIt's a little known fact that almost 30% or more of mobile device owners will somehow damage their phone within the first 12 months from purchasing it. With the frequent usage of your device, the chances of scratching or denting it is highly possible. If you've cracked your screen, a replacement of only the touch screen can cost at least $200 or more for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. For a fraction of that you can prevent damage and retain the trade value of your device. For the ultimate and strongest protection against cracked screens, the Premium Tempered Glass Screen Protector is made from real strengthened tempered glass. With the hardness of steel, the tempered glass absorbs any hard scratches and tough impact to save the device screen.
Screen Clarity with Full Touch Sensitive SensitivityIf the idea of adding a tempered protective glass on your touch screen makes you wonder about its functionality, the touch screen sensitivity is completely unaffected. It will operate with precision just like it would without a tempered glass screen protector. The clarity and touch sensitivity of the tempered glass screen protector is unlike any ordinary screen protector. The ultra-thin layer of strengthened tempered glass is only 0.33mm in thickness for extremely smooth touch sensitivity. The high definition clarity of the protector is created with optical grade glass from Japan.

UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Norwegian singer Sissel Kyrkjebo is visiting Ukraine to fundraise for children
6 September 2009, Kyiv- Today Goodwill Ambassador Sissel Kyrkjebo comes to Ukraine. Together with the Norwegian TV Show Gala she will film the most emerging needs of Ukrainian children. In cooperation with the National committee for UNICEF, she wants to raise funds to support the work against HIV/AIDS, to support family type care for abandoned children and advocate for their rights.
The classical Norwegian singer Sissel Kjyrkjebo was appointed as national UNICEF ambassador in 2005. Focus of her work is helping children who are affected by HIV/AIDS. "25 years after the HIV/AIDS pandemic started the world has yet to open its eyes to realize that the children are hit the hardest. They loose their parents, get infected themselves, miss out on education and health care – and are vulnerable for abuse and exploitation." – says Ms. Kyrkjebo. "Ukraine is the country worst affected by HIV/AIDS in Europe and we are here to support UNICEF in their work for changing the situation."- emphasises UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador during her visit to Ukraine.
In 2008-2010 UNICEF Norway has been supporting programmes in Ukraine with the TV Gala funds in amount over USD 800, 000. This funding supports the key activities under the HIV Prevention project of the HIV/AIDS, Children and Youth Programme and contributes to development of the HIV prevention services and education programmes in Ukraine. It helps to equip adolescents and young people visiting the Youth Friendly Clinics and those studying in schools with the knowledge and skills that will help to protect them from HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted infections and substance abuse.

I wanted to show him the Weird Al song, but "Eat It" is only funny if you know "Beat It." After showing him the videos for both tunes (he laughed), he went off to do this own thing, while I remained at the desktop and allowed myself to get sucked into Youtube's collection of Weird Al songs and clips.
The realization hit me: many of the songs that Weird Al made in fun are actually better tunes than the ones being parodied. Here, then, is my list of the best Weird Al creations that are better than the original:
5. "Achy Breaky Song"
Original: "Achy Breaky Heart" by Billy Ray Cyrus
Comment: This one is unique in that the entire point of the Weird Al song is to dis the Billy Ray original.
4. "Do I Creep You Out?"
Original: "Do I Make You Proud" by "Taylor Hicks"
Comment: Most "American Idol" winners are contractually obligated to issue an embarrassingly bad first single composed by music-mill writers, and "Do I Make You Proud" is one of the most bloated of the lot. "Do I Creep You Out" captures the song's soap-opera-ness and adds lyrics which exploit the melodrama in the best way possible.
3. "Jurassic Park"
Original: "MacArthur Park"
Comment: Weird Al uses Steven Spielberg's movie adaptation of Michael Crighton's novel to take a swipe at Barney the Dinosaur as he takes on the song with the worst lyrics in music history (low point: "Someone left the cake out in the rain/I don't think that I can take it/Cause it took so long to bake it/And I'll never have the recipe again/Oh NOOOOOO!")
2. "Ricky"
Original: "Mickey"
Comment: Basing it on "I Love Lucy" is genius. Toni Basil's "Mickey"is one of most irritating songs of my lifetime.
1. "Yoda"
Original: "Lola" by the Kinks
Comment: Although "Lola" is highly regarded among critics and even made the list of 500 Greatest Songs by Rolling Stone magazine, in my view, it's pretty lousy. I fully realize that my assessment of "Lola" makes me lose credibility with music snobs, and I'm comfortable with that.
How about you? What is your favorite Weird Al song?

As the message says, the configure script can't figure out how to get your
C++ compiler to work (it tried something simple).
Can you get it to work? If so, it's a problem with the configure script. If
not, you'll need to reinstall the C++ compiler.
My suggestion? Get the latest release of EGCS from http://egcs.cygnus.com/
or GCC from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu
