As Parlophone/EMI sent out emails last Monday announcing the release of the carreer-spanning album box, USB stick and DRM-free downloads (apart from 'In Rainbows' obviously), fans wondered about Radiohead's role in this. The announcement which started with 'Radiohead are releasing…' was later in the day changed to 'EMI/Parlophone are releasing…'.
On Monday, Boing Boing posted an item about the box set, which was updated a day later with a comment from an anonymous reader: "I think people need to know that the band isn't some greed machine. I can tell you with 100% certainty that EMI is putting out all those reissues without the band's participation, blessing, permission or involvement at all. They are doing it as retribution for the band's decision not to go with them in releasing the new album. Despite their contract being expired, EMI had been counting on the revenue from the forthcoming album. When the band put out the digital version of the album themselves, EMI threatened them with re-releasing their entire catalog on the same day the discbox of IN RAINBOWS was being sent out, Dec 10, unless the band gave EMI the standard physical release of the album. Of course the band/managers told EMI to piss off and were appalled that at such an important point in the band's career that their former partners would do this to them."
Pitchfork then checked in with representatives from both the band and the label: "According to the Radiohead camp, the box set was indeed not the band's idea. They did not confirm any in-fighting, though. EMI agreed that the box was a label initiative, and said that the band's management was offered the opportunity to participate in the project, but declined. As for the release date, EMI maintained that no maliciousness was intended. Rather, it's simply box set season–who doesn't want to find a nicely packaged multi-CD bundle under the tree on Christmas morning?"

Mallon for 'Robomayor'?
The smartly-suited character with slicked-back grey hair cuts a striking figure as he strides into town.
Former 'Robocop' Ray Mallon is back on the streets of Middlesbrough and once again he means business.
The man famed for bringing zero-tolerance style policing to the UK is running to become mayor of the former steel town.
During an impromptu walkabout on the tough Grove Hill estate, pensioners and mothers rush to greet him with tales of crime-infested streets.
They huddle in groups to listen to the man who, in his heavy Teesside accent, promises "to do his best".
Others hang back from the furore and eye Mr Mallon with a deep suspicion, wary of his previous incarnation as a high-ranking police officer.
"We don't want their votes," Mr Mallon says of the latter.
"Those are the people who should fear me becoming mayor. Those are the people we want off the streets."
The maverick Mr Mallon has promised a war on lawlessness if he becomes Middlesbrough's first directly-elected mayor on 2 May.
The people he used to protect as a police officer want him to "do a Giuliani" and cut street crime through zero-tolerance from political office.
And although his mayoral manifesto extends beyond that of crime, it is the issue that dominates the thoughts of most living in Middlesbrough.
"No matter where I go in Middlesbrough, people tell me they are fearful of crime," said Mr Mallon.
"Law and order is being flagged up left, right and centre, particularly drug abuse and anti-social behaviour.
"As mayor I would have no authority over the police force, but I would have influence over how they do their job under the Crime and Disorder Act.
"That is what I intend to do."
Resident Valerie McMann is a strong supporter of Mr Mallon and reflects the views of most people on the Grove Hill estate.
"He is a man of action. He will do his very best to sort things out as he did when he was in the police force," she said.
In September 1997, Mr Mallon was suspended from Cleveland Police following allegations of misconduct.
He admitted to 14 disciplinary charges in February this year, bringing the �7m Operation Lancet inquiry - and his police career - to an end.
Mr Mallon maintains he only accepted the charges he had consistently denied in a "tactical" move to allow him to run for mayor.
His subsequent decision to run as a "people's" candidate without political colours has further severed a deeply divided Labour council.
Ten Labour councillors are openly backing his campaign.
But he has faced deep criticism from other parts of the Labour camp who have accused him of having a gung-ho attitude.
Eddie Dryden, a Labour ward councillor, said: "Mr Mallon doesn't want to be elected mayor, he wants to be elected Sheriff.
"He thinks wearing a big hat and shouting about crime will change things. It won't."
It is a feeling echoed by Labour mayoral candidate Sylvia Connolly who has openly criticised Mr Mallon's "Wild West" attitude to the campaign.
Community wardens
"Our campaign has been going well, people are very positive when I speak to them and I hope they will support Labour as they always have," she said.
"I do think there are many unworkable plans from Mr Mallon and I have concerns that he hasn't really thought about the job and what it means to run the town."
Mrs Connolly, a law lecturer at the University of Teesside, prides herself on having "practical" plans for the town.
Like her nearest rival in the polls, she too has pledged to cut crime - one idea is to increase the number of community wardens on the streets from 16 to 66.
Peter Riley, one of the town's wardens, believes Mrs Connolly's ideas will have a positive impact for residents.
"The scheme has only been up and running for a month, but we are having good feedback from members of the public.
"We act as a degree of reassurance to people, especially the elderly, who like the feeling that we are looking out for them."
Joe Michna, Liberal Democrat, is worried the whole mayoral election campaign has been hi-jacked by the issue of crime.
"I think the perception has been created that voters are electing some kind of sheriff who will come into town with guns blazing and get rid of all the baddies.
"It is more than that. It is about social services, education, running the town. The rest seems to have been pushed into the sidelines."
Conservative candidate Ron Derby believes the campaign has seen the emergence of "personality politics" instead of traditional allegiances.
Jeff Fowler of the Socialist Alliance agrees.
"People in Middlesbrough are disillusioned with the Labour party and are looking for something else.
"Whatever the outcome [of the election] I think we can expect some interesting times on Teesside."

Events include:
February 11 - NET,
Nebraska's PBS station, in partnership with the Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center will premiere a two-hour
documentary on the life and legacy of the man widely considered one of our best and most enigmatic presidents.

surrounding Lincoln about race, equality, religion, politics and depression by carefully interpreting evidence
from those who study him today.
"Looking for Lincoln" is a production of Kunhardt McGee Productions, Inkwell Films and Thirteen/WNET New York in association with Ark Media. Sole corporate funding for "Looking for Lincoln" is provided by State Farm. Major funding is provided by CPB and PBS. Additional funding for educational outreach is provided by the Motorola Foundation.
February 12 - The Jay Ungar and Molly Mason Family Band will give a concert at 7:30 p.m. at the Lied Center. This will be their third appearance in Lincoln.

February 13 - "Civil War Voices," a new musical, will be presented at 7:30 p.m. on the Lied main stage. The piece was written by Lincoln attorney Jim Harris based on Civil War correspondence, including some from the playwright's great-great uncle. Internationally-known composer Mark Hayes of Kansas City arranged the music. Admission charged.
February 14 - The annual free Family Day event will include music and dancing from the Smith Family Band, which has performed for six previous celebrations. Also returning is local favorite Chris Sayre, the only musician who has performed at all previous eight celebrations. Illinois actors Michael Krebs and Debra Ann Miller will return as the President and Mary Todd Lincoln. They performed in Lincoln in 2007.

Tom Bihn IPad Cache Sleeve
Tom Bihn's $30 iPad Cache sleeve a padded sleeve designed to carry the iPad inside another bag. Available in vertical or horizontal orientation--vertical for use inside a backpack or vertical messenger, horizontal for use inside most other bags--the Cache sports a gray exterior with a soft, black interior. You close the top of the sleeve much like you would tuck the flap of an envelope inside the envelope--no zippers or velcro hold the iPad inside this fairly loose-fitting sleeve. Given that the sleeve was designed specifically to be placed inside a larger carrying device--a backpack, messenger bag, or briefcase, for example--the loose fit isn't a big problem. But you want to be careful about holding the Cache top-down, as the iPad will fall out with a bit of jostling. The case doesn't have reinforced sides, but the padding is adequate to protect an iPad from modest drops and bumps.
This story, "Tom Bihn IPad Cache Sleeve" was originally published by Macworld.

Scott Disick and Sammi 'Sweetheart' Giancola combined their star power to throw a majorly rocking birthday party for the Jersey Shore starlet on Saturday night … and as things always go with Mr. Disick, he was the sharpest looking guy in the room.Reality titans
Sammi, Scott and Shore newcomer Deena Nicole hit Chateau Nightclub at Paris Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas to kick off festivities for Giancola, who will turn 24 years old on Monday. Sammi rocked a sleeved blue mini-dress showing off her GTL-tanned legs, while teeny tiny Deena looked demure in a black-and-white dress.
Disick has transformed himself into reality heel to nice guy of late. He recently told People that "I just realized there's bigger things in the world than just being a selfish, self-centered, pr–k."
Meantime, on the most recent Shore episode, Sammi seemingly got caught red-handed texting with someone other than her on-again-off-again boyfriend Ronnie. Check out the episode here:

Senator Robert Byrd (D-West Virginia), considered by many of his Senate colleagues the most learned student of the nation's founding documents, accomplished a long-standing goal by getting a rider passed in the 2005 Appropriations Bill. The law designates September 17 as Constitution Day. It requires schools and federal agencies to hold educational programs on the Constitution on the anniversary date when, in 1787, 39 of the 55 delegates to the Constitutional Convention signed the document.
Of those 39 signers, the University of Houston Libraries' Special Collections Department owns a number of books written by, and original documents signed by, some of those delegates to the Constitutional Convention: Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, Charles Pinckney, and George Washington. This mini-exhibit is presented close to the time in which Constitution Day falls.
For further information about the U.S. Constitution and Constitution Day, see www.constitutionday.us and www.constitutioncenter.org.

Facsimile of the U.S. Constitution
Delegates to the Constitutional Convention signed the Constitution in Philadelphia on September 17, 1787. The fifty-five delegates who signed this monumental political document were the best minds of the Colonies at the time. The Constitution was forwarded to the Congress and, the following year, was ratified by conventions in nine states, and became the law of the land.
The original parchment document on which the Constitution was written was in the custody of the Department of State. Of necessity, it traveled with the federal government from New York to Philadelphia and, finally, to Washington. In order to allow citizens in all parts of the Republic to read the Constitution, its entire text was printed in the newspapers of the day. Two days after its signing, the Pennsylvania Packet and Daily Advertiser printed the entire text in its issue, dated Wednesday, September 19, 1787.
Taken from Archiving Early America
George Washington. Document Signed, Headquarters, Valley Forge, April 6, 1778. Directed to Israel Shreve, colonel of the 2nd New Jersey Regiment.
General Washington orders Colonel Shreve "to constitute and appoint a General Court Martial consisting of a President, who shall be of the rank of a Field Officer and twelve members for the trial of William Seeds and such other offenders belonging to the Army of the United States…" This document was written following a cruel winter (1777-78) and bitter hardships the Continental Army endured at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. The soldier-in-question, William Seeds, was a deserter of his unit, the Fourth New Jersey Regiment, who had gone over to the British army, but was captured. Following court martial Seeds was hanged.

WASHINGTON -- As Catholics look toward Nov. 27, when the new edition of the Roman Missal goes into use in the United States, there is no lack of resources to help them prepare for the new sound and feel of the liturgy.
Dozens of books and brochures have been published or are in the works, along with many DVDS and audiotapes aimed at specific audiences -- from priests to teens to elementary school students.
But how can average Catholics know what the best resources are for their particular circumstances?
Father Richard Hilgartner, executive director of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' Secretariat on Divine Worship, advises people to look to their pastors, diocesan worship offices or Catholic bookstores for recommendations.
"Anything will ultimately be helpful in some way," he told Catholic News Service. "But some materials are more targeted at different age groups and audiences."
He does not recommend that Catholics get their information about implementation of the new missal exclusively from the blogosphere, however.
Much of the liturgical information on popular Catholic blogs is "not fact but opinion," he said. "And it is hard to discern what is helpful."
Some of the resources are designed to work best in an adult religious education or small-group faith formation program.
Ascension Press, for example, has released "A Biblical Walk Through the Mass," a five-part DVD series, book and workbook, along with a 20-page "Guide to the New Translation of the Mass," which includes a pull-out reference card detailing the new responses by the people at various parts of the Mass.
"Perhaps more than any other time in recent history, people's attention will be focused on the Mass," said Catholic theologian Edward Sri, who wrote "A Biblical Walk Through the Mass" and the briefer guide. "This is an excellent opportunity for catechesis and faith formation."
"The Essential Guide to Catholic Prayer and the Mass," written by Catholic columnist Mary DeTurris Poust and published by Alpha Books, has a similar goal.
In addition to describing the upcoming Mass changes, it "offers devoted Catholics a way to explore prayer styles never been considered, and non-Catholics or Catholics on the edge a look into a world that can seem mysterious and intimidating," according to a news release about the book.
Among other new books aimed primarily at adult Catholics are: "Understanding the Mass: 100 Questions, 100 Answers," written by Mike Aquilina, executive vice president of the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology, and published by Servant Books; "The Mass in Scripture" by Catholic biblical scholar Stephen J. Binz and published by Our Sunday Visitor; and "Mass Revision: How the Liturgy Is Changing and What It Means for You" by Catholic author Jimmy Akin and published by Catholic Answers.
That does not mean there aren't ample resources available for other ages.
Life Teen, the Arizona-based national program for Catholic teenagers, recently introduced "Word for Word," a book and DVD designed to update high school students, middle schoolers and their parents about the coming changes.
For younger children, Liturgy Training Publications has published "What's New About the Mass" by Maureen Kelly for third- to seventh-graders with an accompanying handbook for teachers and catechists. Liguori Publications has a four-page brochure called "Going to Mass with Roman Missal" by Father Joe Weiss, explaining the upcoming changes in simple language.
Seven publishers -- Catholic Book Publishing Corporation in Totowa, N.J.; Liturgical Press in Collegeville, Minn.; Liturgy Training Publications in Chicago; Magnificat in Yonkers, N.Y.; Midwest Theological Forum in Woodridge, Ill.; USCCB Communications in Washington; and World Library Publications in Franklin Park, Ill. -- have been authorized to print the new missal, with completion expected by Oct. 1.
Many of them also are offering preparatory materials on the missal through special websites. The bishops' divine worship secretariat also has a variety of resources available at www.usccb.org/romanmissal.
Each publisher has a slightly different emphasis, however, Father Hilgartner said. Liturgy Training Publications and Liturgical Press are focusing on catechetical resources and resources for priests, he said, while Magnificat has an emphasis on personal devotional material and World Library Publications has a special interest in hymnals and other musical aids for worship.
But because the USCCB is also a publisher, in order to avoid any appearance of a conflict of interest, the divine worship secretariat is making no recommendations for specific resources on the missal.
"Just check the publishers you usually check with," Father Hilgartner said. "Most of them have stepped up."

In other words, our rational sides are simply not equipped to make complex and far-reaching decisions like when to get married.
She points to the far-reaching role media plays in our society and the premium placed on celebrity.
But make no mistake: this is a landmark decision with far-reaching implications.
The line from A to B to C to D is kind of a straight one that could have far-reaching implications.
The courts represent the most far-reaching attempt by the civilian world to stem the tide of incarcerated vets.
But she was most decidedly afraid of the far-reaching consequences which might be wrought by her failure to hold him steadfast.
The issues involved are too big and far-reaching for pettifogging methods.
It was resonant, far-reaching, incisive; but it rang abruptly and without mellowness.
It was a hoax which should have far-reaching results, on a gigantic scale.
Certainly this aspect of the movement had a far-reaching influence.

The former head of AT&T Inc. will become chairman of General Motors Co. when the auto maker leaves bankruptcy later this summer, GM announced today.
The appearance of Edward Whitacre Jr., 67, former chairman and CEO of AT&T, pleased telecom industry analysts who knew Whitacre's reputation as the leader of AT&T and its predecessor companies from 1990 to 2007.
"Who said retired CEOs are forgotten?" said Jeffrey Kagan, an independent wireless and telecom analyst. "The man who transformed AT&T from the smallest to the largest of the nation's Baby Bells in just over one decade is now going to be chairman of the newer and much smaller GM."
Whitacre started with Southwestern Bell, later SBC, and through a series of acquisitions, including AT&T in 2005, built the largest provider of local, long distance and wireless services, GM said.
GM interim Chairman Ken Kresa said Whitacre's appointment is "a very auspicious beginning for the new GM. We look forward to working with him to complete the reinvention of GM and maximize the enormous potential of this new enterprise."
Whitacre said in a statement that he was honored to serve GM "at this critical juncture and take part in its reinvention."
Whitacre holds a degree in industrial engineering from Texas Technological University and is on the boards of ExxonMobile Corp. and Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corp.
Whitacre and Kresa, along with current GM board members Philip Laskawy, Kathryn Marinello, Erroll Davis Jr., E. Nevill Isdell and CEO Frederick Henderson will serve as the nucleus of the new GM board, GM said in a statement.
Kagan called Whitacre "one of the most aggressive CEOs. He sees the future."
While Whitacre doesn't know the automobile business, Kagan added, "he has the unique ability to understand a business as it transforms itself. He was a big success in changing the telecom space. Perhaps he can be just as successful in transforming the automobile space."

Millcreek Canyon OverviewLocated inbetween Big Cottonwood Canyon and Parleys Canyon is Millcreek Canyon. Spanning over 13 miles, this canyon is home to several large peaks, an extensive trail network, a couple of lakes, beautiful scenery and lots of wildlife. It is because of this is why Millcreek Canyon is popular with mountain bikers, trail runners, peak baggers, dog walkers, backcountry skiers, rock climbers, hikers, campers, and wildlife observers. In the summer and fall months you are allowed to drive your car up to the base of Big Water Gulch (Approximately 10 miles). In late fall, winter and spring the main road is closed to vehicular traffic about 5 miles up from the base of the canyon. Some peaks in this canyon that are worth climbing to are Mount Aire, Grandeur Peak, Little Water Peak, and Gobblers Knob. Each one of these peaks offers a unique and impressive view of the surrounding Wasatch Range. Some trails worthy of checking out are the Pipline Trail, Big Water Gulch Trail (aka The Dog Lake Trail) and the Desolation Trail. Wildlife such as Black Bears, Cougars, Moose, large Deer herds, and Rattle Snakes frequently rome this canyon so keep as close eye out there....because there might just be one on you. Be sure to not travel alone at night, keep pets close to you and carry bear spray.
Getting Up ThereFrom I-215 get off at the 3900 South exit. Head along Wasatch Blvd (north) until you come up on the second traffic light 3800 South. From here make a right, go through the 4 way stop and the canyon will shortly come into view.
The Peak ListMillcreek Canyon has several peaks above 10,000 feet that are worth climbing to. Each peak offers its own unique views of the Salt Lake City valley and of the surrounding peaks in the Central Wasatch Range. Most of the trails to these peaks are inbetween 1,500 to 4,000 vertical feet one way. This section will have a short description of the peaks in Millcreek Canyon in order of the ones I liked the best.
Gobblers Knob- Standing tall at 10,246 feet, this is one of the better peaks of Millcreek Canyon if not the Central Wasatch Range. The Porter Fork trailhead is the most popular starting point for summiting this mountain. From Porter Fork there are 3 seperate trails to the summit. Starting from the base up they are Bowman Fork, Yellow Jacket Gulch and Pole Canyon. Another less popular and more extream route is Alexander Basin. Caution should be used here in the winter months. This Basin has been the site of several brutal avalanche accidents in years past and even this year (Feb. 7th 2010). Whether it is summer, fall, winter or spring, a climb up Gobblers Knob is sure to please.
Little Water Peak- Located in Upper Millcreek Canyon this peak actually more easily accessed (in winter) from the Big Cottonwood Canyon side (Mill D North). With Dog Lake along the trail to the summit, one can expect to encounter large crowds on the weekends (especially in summer). Once you get past the lake the remaining mile is quite lonely. For backcountry skiers there are several slopes to choose from on this peak. These range from steep avalanche prone bowls to gentle gladed trees.
Mount Aire- Starting at Elbow Fork the distance to this trail depends on the time of year make your attempt. In the summer months one can drive to and park at the base of Elbow Fork (a narrow and obvious bend in the canyon). In the winter months the road is closed so you will have to start 1.5 miles down canyon from here. Lots and I mean lots of dogs use this 1.5 mile stretch so if your looking for any kind of solitude well.....good luck. Do not let all this dicourage you. The remaing 2 miles are steep and a lot less popular. At the summit the veiws of Upper Millcreek Canyon and Parleys Canyon are outstanding.
Granduer Peak- One of the few Salt Lake City valley facing peaks in Millcreek Canyon, this peak has the option of avoiding the canyon fee by starting near the base of Parleys Canyon. Large deer herds, rattle snakes, courgars, are known to roam this peak frequently so do not travel alone at nite and keep a close eye on your pets. Beacuse of the valley facing nature of this peak standing alone on the summit usually is not the case, even at night. No matter where you start from (Church Fork, Dragons Tail, West Slopes, and Pharrows Glenn) this one is worth the effort that it is going to take.
Mount Raymond- This very steep mountain is about as far south as the peaks Millcreek go into the Wasatch Range. On a clear sunny day, one can see from the summit almost all the peaks of the Central Wasatch. It is no suprize that climbers and skiers alike love what this peak has to offer.
Millvue Peak-
SkiingBecause of the overall size of Millcreek Canyon, there are several skiing possiblities. If you choose to tour the upper reaches of the canyon, you are going to have to face a 5+ mile flat. For tours in the lower canyon, a shallow or non-exsistant snowpack is likely to be encountered. Do not let all this scare you....Millcreek Canyon is one of the best canyons for backcountry skiing in Utah. With steep chutes, open bowls, expansive faces and the best tree skiing in the state, a tour here is sure to please. There are several ways to access Millcreek in the winter. You can come up from Big Cottonwood Canyon (via Mill A Gulch, Butler Fork, and Mill D North), from the base of Millcreek Canyon itself or Lambs Canyon.
Red TapeMillcreek Canyon costs $3.00 per vehicle (and NO they do not take checks or credit cards). Season passes are avalible at the pay station that is located at the base of the canyon.
There are some private property areas off the western side of Mount Air, but these can be easily avoided.
Mountain bikers are only allowed in the Millcreek Canyon everyday. However on the Big Water Trail, Little Water Trail and Great Western Trail mountain bikers are only allowed on even days.
Dogs are allowed everyday, however on even days they must be leashed. In all picnic areas, cabin properties and some select trails, leashes are required at all times. If you have a dog remember that once you leave Millcreek Canyon, there are No Dogs allowed in Big Cottonwood Canyon.
Fishing is allowed on most of the river however you will need to purchase a permit before getting out there.

Talk about focussed! That's a strong gaze you've captured Michael. There's something about the markings on wolves faces that makes them look like they mean business, almost like they're frowning – if you know what I mean. Great capture of this one.

Asheville attorney Steve Warren assumes his duties after being elected chairman of the board of trustees at Western.
District Court Judge Danny Davis (left) administers the oath of office to two new members of the board of trustees former state Sens. Stephen M. Metcalf of Weaverville and Teena S. Little of Southern Pines.
CULLOWHEE Asheville attorney Steve Warren is the new chairman of the board of trustees at Western Carolina University.
Election of officers and administration of the oath of office for two new board members former state Sens. Teena S. Little of Southern Pines and Stephen M. Metcalf of Weaverville came Friday, Sept. 2, as part of the board's first meeting of the 2005-06 academic year.
Warren is a 1980 graduate of Western in economics who went on to earn his law degree at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. He is a partner with the law firm of Long, Parker, Warren and Jones, and is president of the board of directors of the N.C. Governor's Western Residence.
I want to thank the members of the board for giving me what I consider to be the highest honor in my life, Warren said after being elected chair. I have had the privilege of sitting among 12 people who are, by any definition imaginable, among the most successful people to be found anywhere. It means so very much to me to have received your nomination and your trust.
Warren also took time to thank the university's faculty and staff for their hard work and dedication, and pledged to help improve working conditions, including addressing salary and benefit concerns, for Western's employees.
The reason that Chancellor John Bardo stands so tall is because he stands upon some very strong shoulders, he said. Give me one word to describe the people who work for this university, and I'll say competence.' Give me two words, and I'll say extraordinary competence.'
The board also elected Joan MacNeill, a community leader and entrepreneur from Webster, to serve as vice chair of the board, and re-elected retired Mars Hill entrepreneur Genevieve Whitmire Burda as secretary.
MacNeill is co-founder and former president and chief operations officer for the Great Smoky Mountains Railway. A former nurse, she previously served on Western's Foundation Board and the Garden Club of Sylva. Burda is former co-owner of Mars Hill Hardware and Building Supply. She is a former chemist and researcher in Texas, and a past member of the board of directors for the Madison County Chamber of Commerce.
Prior to the election of officers, District Court Judge Danny Davis administered the oath of office to new board members Little and Metcalf.
A retired public school teacher in Hoke and Moore counties, Little is a former member of the UNC Board of Governors, including a term as vice chair of the board beginning in 2002. A graduate of Austin Peay State University in Tennessee, she is a former member of the N.C. State Board of Education and the board of advisers for the University of North Carolina-Wilmington Watson School of Education. Little and husband George W. Little, former secretary of the N.C. Department of Natural and Economic Resources and a 2004 candidate for N.C. governor, played significant roles in winning support for the N.C. Higher Education Improvement bonds in 2000.
Metcalf, who stepped down from the N.C. Senate in February 2004, is a former manager for Buncombe County and former director of the city of Asheville's Bele Chere festival. He previously served as assistant to Gov. James B. Hunt Jr., and as deputy secretary for the N.C. Department of Administration and N.C. Department of Transportation. Metcalf was a partner in MGT of America, a national management research and consulting firm serving public sector clients, and was director of Western's local government relations program in 2002-03. He holds a bachelor's degree in political science from Appalachian State University and a master's degree in public administration from the University of Tennessee.

I am working through MSFU and am having trouble configuring karmetasploit when installing the sqlite3 ruby. The error message is as follows:
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing sqlite3-ruby:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
/usr/bin/ruby1.8 extconf.rb
checking for sqlite3.h... yes
checking for sqlite3_libversion_number() in -lsqlite3... yes
checking for rb_proc_arity()... no
checking for sqlite3_initialize()... no
sqlite3-ruby only supports sqlite3 versions 3.6.16+, please upgrade!
*** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers.
The sqlite3 version in BT4R2 is 3.5.9. Based upon my review of the same installation error in contexts other than BT4, it appears that upgrading sqlite3 solves the problem.
When I try to upgrade it via apt I receive a notice that the newest version is installed. Is 3.5.9 the latest version in the repositories? Can I upgrade manually without fear of breaking other applications? Or am I totally on the wrong track in trying to get karmetasploit to work in the first case?
(I did notice that I needed to update to RubyGems 1.3.7 to install the activerecord gem)

When the Orioles acquired Adam Jones from Seattle five years ago, they hoped they had found a player to build around for the future.
But they couldn't have projected exactly how much of a franchise cornerstone the prospect would grow into.
Jones took a major step in his development in 2012. He signed a big contract early in the season, making him the second-highest-paid center fielder in baseball at the time. It also sent a message to the Orioles' clubhouse early in what would become a magical playoff season.
Jones, joined by Gold Glove shortstop J.J. Hardy and Gold Glove catcher Matt Wieters, brings to the Orioles a stable central core. Around that trio -- as well as right fielder Nick Markakis and third baseman Manny Machado -- the Orioles have a strong 30-and-under nucleus.
Jones had career highs in batting average (.287), stolen bases (16), doubles (39) and homers (32) in 2012.
He still has room to grow. Consistency is one area. Strikeouts -- a career-high 126 against just 34 walks last season -- are another.
This month, he'll be on the global stage, playing with Team USA in the World Baseball Classic.
Jones is a unique character and a clubhouse leader away from the field. With his role on the national team vaulting him to yet another stratosphere, the center fielder could be primed to reach superstar status in 2013.

Too often, there's a big split — We discuss urban futures in an exclusively U.S. context. Debates about city futures around the rest of the world occur broadly outside the United States, but not here. But look for a big exception in World Habitat Day for 2009, scheduled for October 5 in Washington with a rich melange of related activities spread over an entire week. The contrasts but also parallels between UN-Habitat's strong focus on developing world cities and a new era of urban policy in America are likely to be the object of unusually focused discussions.
The major World Habitat Day opening ceremony will feature UN-Habitat Executive Director Anna Tibaijuka, but also Rockefeller Foundation president Judith Rodin and top-level Obama administration officials including Melody Barnes, director of the White House Domestic Policy Council and HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan. "President Obama," Donovan notes, "has asked that we become engaged in the global discussion on our shared vision of making socially and environmentally sustainable urban communities."
In a separate October 5 event, at Howard University, the topic will be "Livable Communities" including White House Office of Urban Affairs Director Adolfo Carrion, HUD Deputy Secretary Ron Sims, Tibaijuka, and Deputy Washington, D.C. Mayor Valerie Santos Young.
On October 6, the Brookings Institution's Metropolitan Policy Program, in coordination with the Rockefeller Foundation, will host a major public discussion on creating sustainable global cities including metropolitan models for managing climate change. Participants will include Brookings' Bruce Katz, Darren Walker (vice president for foundation initiatives for Rockefeller), Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels (president of the U.S. Conference of Mayors), and New York City Transportation Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan, joined by international metropolitan leaders.
On October 7, the International Housing Coalition (with support from the Aspen Institute and Habitat for Humanity), will host a major discussion on "Urbanization, Slums and U.S. Foreign Assistance." And on October 8, there'll be a major discussion on "Bridging the Urban Divide", hosted by the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars with assistance from the Rockefeller Foundation and CHF International. It's advertised a start to a series on "The Road to Rio" — UN Habitat's World Urban Forum 5 in Rio de Janeiro in March 2010.
Other Habitat Day events — one might well say "Habitat Week" events — include forums sponsored by the Urban Land Institute, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Virginia Polytechnic Institute, the Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning, the American Planning Association, and Grassroots Women and Affordable Housing.
The overall theme of the Habitat events – "Planning Our Urban Future" – is intended to raise awareness of the need to improve urban planning to help the world's cities deal with the major challenges the economic crisis, climate disruption, and alarming levels of urban poverty around the world.
Related – Peirce Among Scroll of Honour Awardees
Citistates chair Neal Peirce will be among the 11 organizations and individuals from around the world to receive UN Habitat's Scroll of Honour Award — "considered the most significant prize in the field of human settlements" –at the October 5 event. His citation: "For a lifetime of journalism dedicated to reporting on cities for a better urban future."

What is the best home remedy for anxiety and depression?
I can't afford a doctor. I'm having physical pains which i believe are triggered by my depression. And what are the home remedies for scoliosis?
Answer: I know about your finance woes. Unfortunately, near are no home remedys (that I know of) for scoliosis. Your bones are growing curved.
It sounds like you're done growing. (Am I wrong?)
If I were to suggest things for affliction relief, I'd go next to swimming or PT/exercises to strengthen your core muscles, stretches to help any tight muscles, heating wipe that is large ample for the affected area, or seeing a misery management specialist.
If your back is really hurting, the solution is usually niggle management or surgery. I'm not familiar next to free clinics, but that may be the way to go.
As for your depression, if your posterior is less painful, your depression may jump away on its own. Otherwise, I don't have any experience to recommend anything besides seeing a clinic.
Take care..
...Good Luck! :o).
Saint Johns wort is a herbal remedy thats really cheap and is very good for depression.
There are highly few home remedies for scoliosis, but my friend has it and when she has a fruitless back/neck she used a heat mat..
please go and see a kith and kin planning clinic search google for one in your nouns or contact www.beyondblue.com.au you will not be charged you need medical attention, please dont try any other thing.. desire medical attention
family planning clinic will give you the right suggestion.
See if you can find a free or low cost clinic. Sounds like you need a checkup. Do you hold scoliosis or ankylosing spondylitis, they are different. Try getting exercise by walking it's low impact
