1. Re: Reports Builer 11g - DATA MODEL crashesbacksulee Apr 27, 2011 7:10 AM (in response to b8s)I'am suffered from that data model problem, too.
Did you solve the problem?? please let me know...
2. Re: Reports Builer 11g - DATA MODEL crashesb8s May 2, 2011 3:15 AM (in response to backsulee)No, sorry to say - I haven't. It must be a setup issue because a solution is not readily available. It seems no one else has reported this problem. I have to use 10g on another machine for all of my development. frustrationg :-(
3. Re: Reports Builer 11g - DATA MODEL crashesJavierNavarro Sep 21, 2011 1:18 PM (in response to b8s)The problem is that Oracle Forms and Reports Builder is not supported for 64-bit operating system.
I know there is a trick that a customer told me but I forget.
4. Re: Reports Builer 11g - DATA MODEL crashes893595 Oct 10, 2011 9:30 PM (in response to JavierNavarro)Hi All:
Just found out a work around. Is a little bit tricky but might work for you too guys. Basically, I installed both the 32bit and 64bit java JRE and JDK. No problem with support on Windows 7 for that 'cause they work on different directories. Once I finished installing Oracle Fusion 11g with JDK 1.6 64bit I switched the path to JRE 1.6 32bit. Both are on the PATH variable just that Windows looks first for JRE 32bit. Once I did that no more crashes (so far...) Try it and let me know how it works for you.
5. Re: Reports Builer 11g - DATA MODEL crashes907283 Dec 23, 2011 6:53 PM (in response to 893595)What exactly did you put in the path? Right now I have "C:\Program Files x86\Java\jdk1.6.0_30\bin" as part of the path, but I don't know if that is correct. Reports builder is still crashing when I click on Data Model. If anyone knows if that is accurate or not, please let me know. Any guidance is appreciated! Thanks!
6. Re: Reports Builer 11g - DATA MODEL crashes909640 Jan 8, 2012 5:00 PM (in response to b8s)Hi,
After spending lot of time for searching solution of this problem, Data Model crashing. I reached on the point that there is some problem in Oracle Reports 64bit, then i uninstall 64bit version and install Developer 11gR2 32bit on Server 2008R2 64bit. Now every thing is working fine.
Only i have to recomplie all forms,reports,libraries in 32bit version.
If any other got the solution of Data Model Crashing, please inform us.
7. Re: Reports Builer 11g - DATA MODEL crashesRzuluaga - Oracle-Oracle Jan 13, 2012 3:11 PM (in response to 909640)Correct.
11gR1 Builders on Win 64 are only supported using 32 bits software distribution.
Availability of Oracle Forms/Reports Builders Version 11g R1 (11.1.1.x) on 64 bit Platforms. (Doc ID 1108940.1)
But you can use the new 11gR2 where builder are support on 64 bits.
You can download it from the following link.
8. Re: Reports Builer 11g - DATA MODEL crashes907283 Jan 31, 2012 11:10 PM (in response to Rzuluaga - Oracle-Oracle)So this is kind of a pain because you have to do this every time Reports Builder starts, but I found a solution.
Every time you start Reports Builder click the following:
File -> New -> Report -> Build Report Manually
OR to save time set the Welcome Dialog to pop up just select "Build Report Manually"
(Edit->Preferences->Wizards(tab)->Welcom Dialog)
After that you can open any of your files and use the data model without it crashing.
9. Re: Reports Builer 11g - DATA MODEL crashes907283 Feb 1, 2012 4:25 PM (in response to 907283)I also found another work around if you DO NOT USE PLUGGABLE DATA SOURCES and have 11.1.2 (release 2) 64-bit.
Go to:
Edit: cauprefs.ora
Replace the following:
Reports.PluggableDataSourceFactories =
With the following:
Reports.PluggableDataSourceFactories = ()
Hope this helps someone! :)

No Celebrity Endorsement Implied
Albuquerque's new WitSec director may be new to the squad room, but not to the US Marshal service. Fresh on the scene in New Mexico, Allison Pearson doesn't hesitate to rock the boat. Viewed by Mary and Marshall as inexperienced, she's still as confident as ever and ready to lay down her version of the law.
Having rubbed elbows with the President of the United States, Allison comes straight from DC with a know-it-all attitude that doesn't initially gel with the WitSec scene. Mary and Marshall don't respect her at first because she's never worked the streets or logged any real hours as an inspector. Meanwhile, Stan is in her back pocket.
Allison must learn how to balance her Washington brashness with her new-kid-on-the-block demeanor.

If a PKE scheme is used in a larger protocol, then the security of this protocol is proved by showing a reduction of breaking a certain security property of the PKE scheme to breaking the security of the protocol. A major problem is that each protocol requires in principle its own tailor-made security reduction. Moreover, which security notion of the PKE should be used in a given context is a priori not evident; the employed games model the use of the scheme abstractly through oracle access to its algorithms, and the sufficiency for specific applications is neither explicitly stated nor proven.
In this paper we propose a new approach to investigating the application of PKE, following the constructive cryptography paradigm of Maurer and Renner (ICS~2011). The basic use of PKE is to enable confidential communication from a sender A to a receiver B, assuming A is in possession of B\'s public key. One can distinguish two relevant cases: The (non-confidential) communication channel from A to B can be authenticated (e.g., because messages are signed) or non-authenticated. The application of PKE is shown to provide the construction of a secure channel from A to B from two (assumed) authenticated channels, one in each direction, or, alternatively, if the channel from A to B is completely insecure, the construction of a confidential channel without authenticity. Composition then means that the assumed channels can either be physically realized or can themselves be constructed cryptographically, and also that the resulting channels can directly be used in any applications that require such a channel. The composition theorem shows that several construction steps can be composed, which guarantees the soundness of this approach and eliminates the need for separate reduction proofs.
We also revisit several popular game-based security notions (and variants thereof) and give them a constructive semantics by demonstrating which type of construction is achieved by a PKE scheme satisfying which notion. In particular, the necessary and sufficient security notions for the above two constructions to work are CPA-security and a variant of CCA-security, respectively.
We show that, assuming the existence of collision-resistant hash functions, there exists a pair of efficient distributions Z, Z\'; such that either:
o extractable one-way functions w.r.t. Z do not exist, or
o extractability obfuscations for Turing machines w.r.t. Z do not exist.
A corollary of this result shows that assuming existence of fully homomorphic encryption with decryption in NC1, there exist efficient distributions Z, Z\' such that either
o extractability obfuscations for NC1 w.r.t. Z do not exist, or
o SNARKs for NP w.r.t. Z\' do not exist.
To achieve our results, we develop a \"succinct punctured program\" technique, mirroring the powerful \"punctured program\" technique of Sahai and Waters (ePrint\'13), and present several other applications of this new technique.
ordinary elliptic curves, namely $E: y^2 = x^3 + Ax$ in prime characteristic
$p\\equiv 1$ mod~4, and $E: y^2 = x^3 + B$ in prime characteristic $p\\equiv 1$
mod 3. On these curves, the 4-th and 6-th roots of unity act as (computationally
efficient) endomorphisms. In order to optimise the scalar multiplication, we consider a width-$w$-NAF (non-adjacent form) digit expansion of positive integers to the complex base of $\\tau$, where $\\tau$ is a zero of the characteristic polynomial $x^2 - tx + p$ of the Frobenius endomorphism associated to the curve. We provide a precomputationless algorithm by means of a convenient factorisation of the unit group of residue classes modulo $\\tau$ in the endomorphism ring, whereby we construct a digit set consisting of powers of subgroup generators, which are chosen as efficient endomorphisms of the curve.
semigroup (SGDLP) to the same problem in a subgroup of the same semigroup.
It follows that SGDLP can be solved in polynomial time by quantum computers, and that
SGDLP has subexponential algorithms whenever the classic DLP in the corresponding groups has subexponential algorithms.
guaranteeing that $P(h(X))$ has comparable security $\\delta\'$ which is `close\' to $\\delta$.
Seeded randomness extractors provide a generic way to solve this problem for \\emph{all} applications $P$, with resulting security $\\delta\' = O(\\delta)$, provided that we start with entropy $k\\ge m+2\\logdel-O(1)$. By a result of Radhakrishnan and Ta-Shma, this bound on $k$ (called the ``RT-bound\'\') is also known to be tight in general. Unfortunately, in many situations the loss of $2\\logdel$ bits of entropy is unacceptable. This motivates the study KDFs with less entropy waste by placing some restrictions on the source $X$ or the application $P$.
In this work we obtain the following new positive and negative results in this regard:
- Efficient samplability of the source $X$ does not help beat the RT-bound for general applications. This resolves the SRT (samplable RT) conjecture of Dachman-Soled et al.~\\cite{DGKM12} in the affirmative, and also shows that the existence of computationally-secure extractors beating the RT-bound implies the existence of one-way functions.
- We continue in the line of work initiated by Barak et al. \\cite{BDK+11} and construct new information-theoretic KDFs which beat the RT-bound for large but restricted classes of applications. Specifically, we design efficient KDFs that work for all unpredictability applications $P$ (e.g., signatures, MACs, one-way functions, etc.) and can either: (1) extract \\emph{all} of the entropy $k = m$ with a very modest security loss $\\delta\'=O(\\delta\\cdot \\log (1/\\delta))$, or alternatively, (2) achieve essentially optimal security $\\delta\' = O(\\delta)$ with a very modest entropy loss $k \\ge m+\\log\\log(1/\\delta)$. In comparison, the best prior results from \\cite{BDK+11} for this class of applications would only guarantee $\\delta\'=O(\\sqrt{\\delta})$ when $k=m$, and would need $k\\ge m+\\logdel$ to get $\\delta\'=O(\\delta)$.
- The weaker bounds of \\cite{BDK+11} hold for a larger class of so-called ``square-friendly\'\' applications (which includes all unpredictability, but also some important indistinguishability, applications). Unfortunately, we show that these weaker bounds are tight for the larger class of applications.
- We abstract out a clean, information-theoretic notion of $(k,\\delta,\\delta\')$-unpredictability extractors, which guarantee ``induced\'\' security $\\delta\'$ for any $\\delta$-secure unpredictability application $P$, and characterize the parameters achievable for such unpredictability extractors. Of independent interest, we also relate this notion to the previously-known notion of (min-entropy) condensers, and improve the state-of-the-art parameters for such condensers.

Microfluidic Lab-on-a-Chip Detects Oral Cancer Marker in Minutes
Using a microfluidic device designed to capture and enrich cells from biological samples, a research team at The University of Texas at Austin has developed a test that can detect an important early marker for oral squamous cell carcinoma, which accounts for more than 90 percent of oral cancers. Oral cancer is the sixth most common cancer worldwide and is difficult to detect early enough to treat successfully.
John McDevitt, Ph.D., led the research team that developed this microfluidic cell capture and interrogate device. The research appears in the journal Lab on a Chip.
The device is simple in design and use. The key component is an etched membrane that gently captures cells in biological fluids, such as saliva, flowing through microfluidic channels. Once captured on the membrane, the cells are exposed to a solution containing fluorescently labeled antibodies that bind specifically to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), a protein found on the surface of tumors removed from 90 percent of oral cell carcinoma patients. Labeled cells, that is, those with EGFR, are readily visible using a standard fluoresence microscope. The entire assay takes less than 10 minutes to complete.
Research by other investigators has demonstrated that EGFR is present on cells during the early stages of tumor development. In addition, an EGFR-targeted antibody has been approved to treat oral squamous cell carcinoma, although the drug is not used widely to treat this form of cancer because of the difficulty in determining which patients would benefit from its use. With further development, this microfluidic device could provide the means for identifying such patients rapidly and inexpensively. The investigators note that this device should be suitable for rapidly measuring any tumor cell-surface biomarker.
This work is detailed in the paper "Cell-based sensor for analysis of EGFR biomarker expression in oral cancer." An abstract of this paper is available through PubMed.

6-8 ELA Meetings 12/2007
GRMS Language Arts Committee, Dec.3, 2007
We met at 2:20 in 107.
Attending were: Howie Tuttle, Donna Whalen, Debra Butterfield, Diana Dionne-Morang, Judy Jamison, Susan Graves-LeClair, Sharon Mathews, Lyn Ballou, Pat O'Connor, Hope St. Denis, Kim Quirion.
Howie Tuttle attended to clarify what we need to keep in mind while writing up the ELA Curriculum Review. Basically, he said we should look at the review as an opportunity to let the school board know what we are doing and what we need. This will be ELA's chance to ask for money for materials and programs. ELA will not be reviewed again for 5 years. Our report will be combined with the reports of ELA committees from the elementary schools and the high school, so our portion should not take any more than 10-15 minutes to present .The combined report will be presented to the CCC on January 28. Howie will take the report to the school board at a later date. (Pat, Debra, Judy, and Donna have met with Rie Kittredge and other HS teachers to discuss procedure.)
Howie encouraged us to keep our report simple and informative, and to back it up with data such as we would find from the Academic Audit. He stressed that data will be especially helpful in areas we are asking to upgrade. One year's data should be sufficient. The items addressed do not need to cost money.The suggestions for "List of Strengths" and "List of What Needs Upgrading" do not all need to be addressed, they are meant to guide us. We should keep in mind needs we anticipate for the next 5 years.
Our building ELA committee will meet after the potluck lunch on December 19 to work on our review report. We have a scheduled building committee meeting on January 7. Interested members may meet at the high school with Rie Kittredge and other English teachers to compare/refine our reports on January 9.
Howie said he has been in touch with Mary Burns, a language arts consultant. She will be working with us on the March7 workshop day. We should plan to meet in the board room at CO and we should bring laptops. Ms. Burns will be showing us how to use Inspiration to fuel our instruction. There is a possibility that she will be available for two more professional development days. Sixth grade teachers should be able to use laptops from their banks as the district has purchased the Inspiration license for all laptops.
Julie Meltzer, of CRN Consultants is supposed to send Howie her estimate to come to MSAD 11 to conduct a literacy audit.
Please note: December 19 as our time to work on the review; January 7, 2:20 as our next meeting date.
Minutes, ELA, December 19, 2007
In attendance: Debra Butterfield, Pat O'Connor, Gretchen Sias, Donna Whalen. After the scheduling meeting,Judy Jamison, Susan Graves-LeClair, Diana Dionne-Morang, Kim Quirion joined us and gave us a snapshot of what had happened at that meeting.
We reviewed what the high school teachers have worked on thus far with their language arts review. We agreed to use their work as a "jumping off point". As we listed and discussed our perceived strengths, Debra Butterfield recorded them.
There was a discussion all along of the validity of the SRI testing. Perhaps the district should explore the possibility of purchasing the licensing for computerized, self-adjusting reading testing?
We are concerned with meeting the deadlines set for our ELA review. We have listed the following dates as times to work:
Th., Jan. 3-"Needs" will be addressed by Kim, Debra, Judy, Donna, anyone else who can attend.
Mon., Jan. 7-Building ELA -we will work on opening paragraphs. All building ELA teachers are invited to attend.
Tues., Jan.8-as many as possible will meet to continue with Monday's work.
Wed., Jan.9- Deb, Judy, Pat, Donna Will meet with the ELA people from the high school.
Jan. 14- District Writing Committee to meet.

The founders of the group wereRosenda
Rosendo Pineda and Manuel Romero Rubio. In 1895 José Yves Limantour, the son of a French immigrant and finance minister since 1893, became leader of the circle. He pressed government officials to concentrate on efficiency and did much himself to improve the financial footing of the country. The learned Justo Sierra became minister of education and continued the educational reforms according to Positivist principles initiated in the 1870s by Gabino Barreda, a student of Comte and member of BenitoJuárez'
Juárez's government. In 1910 Sierra reopened the National University for the first time in almost a century of national independence. The científicos furnishedDíaz'
Díaz's dictatorship, which they upheld as a bulwark against anarchy, with a prestigious facade, as the army and the rurales (federal police) provided it with its foundation. Díaz, however, had little rapport with these intellectuals. Because of their influence, wealth, and favouritism toward foreign capitalists, the científicos were objects of popular disfavour, while Díaz himself tried to cultivate the confidence of the uneducated masses. Thesecientíficos
científicos were rejected and eclipsed when the Díaz regime fell in the Revolution of 1911.
During the ascendancy of Plutarco Elías Calles, both as president and former president (1924–34), another group, also called científicos, came to power; they advocated the use of modern business methods to benefit both themselves and the nation, while stressing self-enrichment.
The Positivist movement also took root in other Latin - American countries, influencing government and education in Brazil, Argentina, and Chile in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Grazianos to Hogans: Nice photo op, jerks
The family of Nick Hogan crash victim John Graziano wants the Hogans to stay the fuck away from the hospital. They believe their latest visit, which didn't include the Hulk just Linda and the kids, was all for show. The St. Petersburg Times reports:
That's because the trio went to the hospital on Valentine's Day with gifts, and images of their arrival showed up on celebrity news Web sites, the Graziano family's attorneys said Wednesday.
"We believe that it was a total (public relations) stunt," said attorney Kimberley Kohn.
Damn, how did I miss those? Anyway, the Hogans are doing a bang-up job handling this situation. Whether it's blaming the victim for not wearing a seat belt or staging photo ops, these people are all over it. Honestly, there's not a goddamn thing that's real about them. Except for Brooke's man chin. Which is all too real and can cut through a diamond. Or so the legend goes…
Thanks to David for the pics who can grow a thicker moustache than the Hulk – with his mind!

The roomer in 5-B brushed past him, carrying an ungainly bundle under one arm.
It has lost some of its ungainly enthusiasm, its sloppy joy, its achingly self-conscious hipster attitude.
This ungainly man soon percolated in my own melancholic imagination.
But in their ungainly, old fashioned ways, books and records beat their digital equivalents in every category but convenience.
I imagine he made an ungainly lunge at her, which she again rejected and which left her seriously upset.
She had not a good feature, not even a good point about her ungainly figure.
His big, ungainly hand has a truly wonderful power of soothing.
The Platform was ungainly and it was huge, and it rested under a hollow metal half-globe that could have doubled for a sky.
In winter they wear gaiters, which give the ankles a most ungainly appearance.
By twelve, local boatmen had towed out an ungainly object some thirty-two feet long.

Mike Irinaga often meets his clients in their offices, or over coffee and gelato at Tilly's
Mike Irinaga wears more hats than most Independent Insurance Agents; offering his clients everything from auto, home, life and business insurance, to retirement income services, and Medicare Advantage plans for retirees.
"Many of my clients are small business owners and professionals in the medical, legal, engineering and teaching fields," he says. "These busy folks have multiple insurance and financial needs, and I can help them design a program for the right protection at the right price. That's because, with over 26 years in the business, I've learned the insider secrets of the insurance industry and I have access to more than 17 top-rated insurance companies, including The Hartford, Progressive, Regence Blue Cross Blue Shield of Oregon, Providence Health Plans, and many more." Mike's clients continually tell him that they appreciate having a local agent that they know and trust; one who really listens to them and cares about their individual situation, rather than having to call an out of state 800-number.
As he and his clients have aged, Mike has been emphasizing what he calls "Senior Needs" in order to focus on improving the quality of life for senior citizens. He's a trained speaker for the AARP MedicareComplete® plans by SecureHorizons. And recently, Mike teamed up with Fran Tarkenton (the NFL Hall of Famer) to join his national network of insurance and financial professionals representing Tarkenton Financial in order to offer his Oregon and Washington clients the best fixed and indexed annuities . Mike says, "when Fran recruited me, he explained that he calls us the Safe Money Experts, because we help seniors place a portion of their hard earned savings (and portions of their 401(k) and IRA money) into safe and guaranteed annuities that protect their principal." Mike says, "when we help pre-retirees and retirees select the right annuities for their needs it really helps them to worry less and not lose any sleep during these turbulent economic times."
Mike offers frequent informational workshops on AARP MedicareComplete® by SecureHorizons at Tilly's Gelato & More, next to Walgreen's in the Milltowner Shopping Center. Upcoming sessions will be Wednesday, October 15, and Tuesdays November 18 and 25, at 10:30AM. "During the first half of the session we provide updated information about traditional Medicare," Mike explains. "Then we cover Medicare Advantage, Medigap, and the Prescription Drug Programs." People who think traditional Medicare takes care of all their medical expenses once they turn 65 are surprised to find out how much they really have to pay out-of-pocket without one of these plans. You need a Medicare Advantage plan, which gives a lot of added coverage for a very affordable monthly premium. In fact, many of our AARP MedicareComplete® plans charge no additional premium." There are seven different SecureHorizons plans currently available in Washington County, offering varying flexibility in the choice of doctors and hospitals, and varying deductibles and co-pays, and Mike can help you figure out which is the best fit for you.
Mike is a third-generation Oregonian who grew up in Portland. His family moved to Oak Hills and he attended Aloha High School. After graduating from the University of Oregon, he left the area to work for United Airlines as a Flight Attendant, based in Chicago and then in San Francisco. When the 1982 oil crunch hit the airline industry, he was furloughed, and returned to Oregon.
That same year, he went to work for the Azumano Insurance Agency in downtown Portland, joining founder George Azumano, and friend Sho Dozono. "They say that when you get into the insurance business, you're either there for six months or 60 years," he laughs. "I'm one of those who has stayed for the long run, which is now going on 26 years."
In 1986, he became the Managing Partner in the Azumano Agency, and he bought the business in 2002. He recently changed the agency name to Mike Irinaga Insurance Agency..
Mike and his wife Patricia have lived in Cedar Mill since 1985, and have two teenage children, Megan and Ryan. Patricia is a Special Education Instructional Assistant at Cedar Park Elementary, and also has her own business, Patticakes Bakes, making deliciously decadent desserts.
Mike Irinaga joined the Cedar Mill Business Association several years ago, and is currently a member of the Board of Directors as Vice President. "I wanted to see what was going on in the neighborhood, and what other businesses were doing," he says. "And it's a great chance to get to know more of the small business owners in the area."
As an Independent Agent, Mike can help you select the best coverages for your specific needs. "I can provide employee benefits such as group life and health care; property & casualty and worker's comp. coverage for businesses; as well as auto and home insurance for individuals. Please feel free to call me anytime."
You can contact Mike with any Insurance, Annuity or Medicare Advantage questions at 503-223-9797, or email him: email@example.com

Kiva Zip: Crowdfunding for Good
General Assembly
Tuesday, May 27, 2014 from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM (PDT)
Kiva envisions a world where all people - even in the most remote areas of the globe - hold the power to create opportunity for themselves and others. By working with microfinance institutions on five continents, Kiva provides loans to people who lack access to traditional banking systems.
Kiva Zip is a platform, launched by Kiva, that enables you to make direct loans to entrepreneurs in Kenya and the United States. The concept is simple: crowd funding interest-free loans directly to small business owners and entrepreneurs. Kiva uses a trustee system to work with individuals and organizations that publicly endorse the potential borrowers.
In this engaging talk with Maximo Robles and Theresa Hall we'll learn how Kiva Zip works, what kind of projects have been sponsored through their platform, how the platform is changing the way people help entrepreneurs, and how crowdfunding can be leveraged as a tool to start your business.
Theresa Hall
Born and raised on the south side of Chicago, Theresa recently graduated from a Masters of Social Entrepreneurship program in San Francisco. She ventured over to the Bay Area after pursuing a marketing degree at the University of Notre Dame and has spent time living in Spain and recently traveled to Kenya. Her time in Kenya solidified her passion for economic development and desire to help drive innovative, sustainable changes for those at the bottom of the pyramid. She is an avid scuba diver, loves anything outdoors and is looking forward to helping entrepreneurs reach their goals through Kiva Zip.
Maximo Robles
Originally from Peru, Maximo Robles was born and raised in Barcelona. Graduating with a B.A in International Business from IQS School of Management (Spain), he had the opportunity to conclude his studies in New York, where he attended classes at Fordham University. He joined Kiva after completing an International Graduate program focused on global entrepreneurship and management. He is currently helping grow Kiva Zip all around the Bay Area supporting financially excluded entrepreneurs and building partnerships with any kind of mission-driven organizations that help communities in need.

Best Of :: Sports & Recreation
Web extra: Video of a Dallas Desire practice with running back Erin Marie Garrett's thoughts on the upcoming season.
OK, you can stop with the sniggering, Mr. Football Fan. And you, Ms. Feminist, don't grimace. Yes, we're talking about the Dallas Desire here, our city's franchise in the U.S. Lingerie Football League, but there will be no double entendres, puns or high-minded condemnations of sexual exploitation.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. To be a player on an LFL team, you have to be, if not a 10, at least somewhere north of an eight. And yes, the players—many of them models or actresses—take the field in sports bras and boy shorts. Sex appeal is certainly the selling point, but believe it or not, there's more than jiggles and giggles driving the Desire, which plays its first home game September 25 against the Denver Dream at QuikTrip Park in Grand Prairie.
There is, for instance, the football.Think they're not serious? Then picture the scene on a recent August afternoon on a field behind Hendrick Middle School in Plano. The sun is drilling down 95 degrees of hell, and the nearest breeze is somewhere near Lubbock. A dozen or so women, tanned and toned from a summer schedule of twice-weekly practices, don helmets and shoulder pads and line up for wind sprints.
Nary a giggle or tee-hee is heard."No walking on the field! No walking on the field!" a coach shouts, urging a few stragglers to hustle as the squad lines up for a series of practice kickoffs. "Attack, Liz, attack!" shouts another as the players scramble down the field in pursuit of a kick.
Being pretty shouldn't be this much hard work.
"We've heard some say it's degrading for women," says Erin Marie Garrett, who plays both running back and defensive line. "[But] we are athletes...Who's to say you can't look good while doing something and do it well?"
Like most players on the Desire, Garrett will play both sides of the ball, since the team only fields a 12-woman roster, with eight inactive players as backups. It's seven-on-seven, full-contact tackle, but there's no punting or field goals, the halves are 15 minutes long, and the field is just 50 yards. Otherwise, it's pretty much football as usual. Like this year's Best of Dallas® icon Rosie the Riveter, these women do everything men do. Only cuter. It's sort of like subbing the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders for America's Team on a Sunday—which, come to think of it, might not be a bad idea.
Off the field, Garrett models, acts, sings and works part-time in retail. If the league, which got its start as a half-time diversion shown on pay-per-view during Super Bowls, is successful, she hopes to parlay the exposure to boost her career off the field. Beyond that, though, the Desire gives her camaraderie with her teammates and a chance to exercise her competitive spirit. (She's played basketball and volleyball and performed in gymnastics and cheerleading in college in Florida.)
"A lot of us are competitive in nature..." Garrett says. "I like to hit hard. It's really a great way to get out some aggression and do it legally."
Sometimes, those hits bring pain.
Running back and defensive linewoman Jessy Jamez—also a model—was sitting out the recent practice with a pulled hamstring injured during tackling drills in a prior practice.
"It felt like I was going to be out the rest of the year, that's how bad it hurt," Jamez says, but she hopes to be ready to retake the field as the team ups its practices to four nights a week, three hours a night—not exactly NFL standards, but a fairly large commitment and a measure of how seriously this team of part-time players takes the game. "The lingerie portion of it is to entice people to the game," Jamez says. "After that, they want to see us play."
To make sure the play is up to snuff, the Desire has hired ex-NFL players as coaches. Head coach Antuan Edwards, for example, was drafted in the first round out of Clemson University in 1999 and played seven seasons in the pros, five of them as a defensive back for Green Bay. "Pretty women, you can see every day at the shopping mall," Edwards says, so when the Desire suits up fans will expect to see some football. "You guys are going to be amazed when we get on the field."
Well, one imagines that's the point of anything called lingerie football, but to be fair to the women, so what? There's beauty in the body of a finely chiseled athlete, in a long pass, a graceful kick return. Aesthetics is as much a part of our enjoyment of the game as cold beer, and if the Desire emphasizes the beautiful over the brutal in football...well, just sit back, enjoy the show and contemplate the sage words of Deion Sanders.
"When you look good, you feel good. When you feel good, you play good."Patrick Williams
If his teammates would've played anywhere near his performance in 2008, the Cowboys might have lived up to their Super Bowl hype instead of pratfalling their way to 9-7. An 11th-round afterthought in the 2005 NFL Draft, Ware has blossomed and matured into one of the league's best defensive players. A stand-up linebacker who beats bigger, stronger linemen with a dazzling combo of speed and agility, Ware last season recorded 20 sacks, forced six fumbles and generally caused havoc on a defense that otherwise wholly underachieved. How good is Ware? He had a sack in 14 of last season's 16 games, was an NFL MVP candidate and was named the league's sixth-best player in a recent ESPN poll. A Cowboys star with nary an arrest, divisive romance or accidental overdose. What a concept.
Along about the time America's hockey moms were learning about Joe the Plumber, Dallas' hockey fans were introduced to Fabian the Fantastic. At least, he was for a minute. In his first NHL game back in November, the forward produced a hat trick—that's right, three goals—to lead the Stars to their first victory of the season. But before you could say "How Swede It Is!," the magic vanished. Only the third player in hockey history to debut with a hat-trick lid-lifter, Brunnstrom scored only 14 more goals the rest of the season to help the Stars not make the playoffs. Call it a case of premature adulation.
It was a long road for the Texas Rangers' general manager to make it from 20-something punch line to savvy veteran brainiac. But what do ya know? Here he is. The same guy who traded Chris Young and Adrian Gonzalez to the San Diego Padres for Adam Eaton and who dealt John Danks to the Chicago White Sox for Brandon McCarthy is suddenly giving his team a competitive advantage with his crafty maneuvering. Because of Daniels, the Rangers have the best farm system in baseball. His decision to allow shortstop Elvis Andrus to skip AAA right to the Rangers was genius. And his junk-pile pick-ups of Andruw Jones, Omar Vizquel and Darren O'Day were so shrewd they have the Rangers flirting with the playoffs for the first time in his regime. Daniels has taken a beating. Time for him to take a bow.
For the first time since moving from the Cotton Bowl and erasing its Dallas Burn tattoo, FC Dallas has a recognizable, identifiable face of the franchise. Cooper, whose dad was a goalie for the Dallas Tornado back in the day, is the future of Dallas soccer. He's one of ours, growing up playing in Dallas' famed youth programs, starring for Solar Club. Don't look now, but he's all grown up into a Major League Soccer All-Star. At 6-foot-3 and 200 pounds, he's built more like a running back, and brute strength is a part of his game, part of the reason he started this season with twice as many goals and shots as any teammate. Dallas' local Player of the Year while at Jesuit in '03, he's played with Manchester United in England and has a chance—a chance—to finally make professional soccer popular out in the 'burbs .
Given Greg Williams' departure from The Hardline, the most consistently entertaining/informative show on the radio belongs to George Dunham, Craig Miller and Gordon Keith, weekdays 5:30-10 a.m. on The Ticket. It's about sports. It's about life. It's about nothing. It's about everything in between. It's—most important—about domination. Dunham and Miller are at this point basically lapping the field in Arbitron ratings. Every hour their show attracts twice as many listeners as the offerings of 103.3 FM ESPN and 105.3 The Fan. Combined. Over the years they've developed the perfect recipe for morning radio with tasty pinches of interviews, topical headlines via "Muse in the News" and heady, though sometimes homerish takes across our sports smorgasbord. Some of us set our watches by "Ladies Day," Thursday mornings in Gordo's Corner.

The goods news in this week's consumer price index result is that inflation continues to moderate – though perhaps not quite as fast the Reserve Bank of Australia would be hoping. After a relatively low 0.5 per cent gain in the December quarter, the headline CPI rose by a firm 0.9 per cent in the March quarter, leaving consumer prices 2.9 per cent higher than one year ago levels.
Of course, in terms of interest rate policy, the key focus remains "underlying inflation". On this score, the news is a little less comforting than hoped – meaning there remains a fair chance the RBA lifts interest rates next week. Further global market instability – perhaps due to sovereign debt concerns – may be needed to ensure the RBA remains on hold.
The RBA now reviews a range of indicators to get a sense of the trend in underlying inflation. Its two most preferred measures of underlying inflation – the trimmed mean and weighted median – both rose by 0.8 per cent in the quarter. The CPI "ex volatile items" also rose by 0.8 per cent, though excluding deposit and loan charges this measure rose only by 0.7 per cent. Note deposit and loan charges rose by 3.4 per cent in the quarter, as banks further fattened their interest rate margins
All up, chances are that the RBA considers underlying inflation rose by 0.8 per cent in the quarter, which is a bit higher than it likely anticipated. Note, however, that due to downward revisions to some CPI items, the RBA may well revise down its estimated rise in underlying inflation during the December quarter to only 0.5 per cent.
Even with a 0.8 per cent gain in underlying inflation during the March quarter, therefore, the RBA should still be able to comfortably argue year-end underlying inflation fell from 3.25 per cent in the December quarter to 3 per cent.
That, however, is at the top edge of its forecast range – as in the February Statement of Monetary Policy it expected year-ended underlying inflation "to be around or below 3 per cent" in the quarter.
And note that to achieve the RBA's forecast of 2.5 per cent year-end underlying inflation in the current quarter, underlying inflation can only rise by about 0.5 per cent in the quarter, which could be tough.
Indeed, while there is not a strong relationship between quarterly gains in producer prices and retail prices, the stronger than expected lift in wholesale prices during the March quarter adds to the upside risks to the June quarter CPI result.
Arguing against an interest rate hike, however, is the fact that price increases last quarter were quite narrowly based. According to Commonwealth Bank chief economist, Michael Blythe, the CBA's CPI diffusion index – which measures the breadth or momentum behind price rises – "narrowed sharply and is now at the bottom end of the range of the past 20 years".
What seems evident is that construction costs and non-trade exposed service sectors – particularly quasi-public services – are showing quite strong price gains, whereas prices in the more highly competitive retail sector are falling. Electricity prices, for example, rose 5.9 per cent in the quarter, to be up 18.2 per cent over the year.
Partly reflecting supply constraints – but also firm demand – house purchase costs and rents have increased by 4.1 per cent and 4.6 per cent respectively over the past year. And in line with strong global demand, fuel prices have also lifted by 9.1 per cent over the past year – despite a rising Australian dollar holding down prices in Australian dollar terms.
Household goods and clothing prices, meanwhile, have been quite soft – no doubt helped by falling import costs due to the strength in the Australian dollar.
That said, with employment growth picking up and the price dampening effects of the rising Australian dollar likely to wane – when, and if, the currency levels out – the RBA knows it can't rely on continued dormant retail prices.
Indeed, falling retail prices during the March quarter likely help explain the recent softness in nominal retail sales – and the quarterly retail sales report when released on May 6 could show stronger growth in volumes. That could eventually encourage retailers to ease discounting and boost profit margins.
Whether the RBA raises interest rates or not next week, given recent strong gains in export commodity prices, and the firmer than hoped for March quarter CPI result, it is likely that it will need to nudge up its economic growth and inflation forecasts in next Friday's May Statement of Monetary Policy.

Irene Avila had a really bad feeling just before her teenage daughter Missy was found battered and drowned in a Big Tujunga Canyon stream.
And the Lake Balboa mother felt pangs of dread before learning Karen Severson -- her daughter's killer and childhood friend -- was recommended Friday for parole.
Barring intervention by a state prison board or Gov. Jerry Brown, she could be freed as early as Christmas.
"I wish that girl would die," declared Avila, 70, verging on tears after learning of the decision by state parole commissioners. "I feel bad for my sons. I feel bad for everybody who knew her.
"This was a terrible injustice, a terrible injustice. I don't understand why, people who commit murder, they let 'em out."
Severson and Laura Doyle were convicted in 1990 for murdering their best friend 26 years ago after they accused her of having sex with their boyfriends.
Since then, the story of how Michele "Missy" Avila was coaxed into a remote wood in the Angeles National Forest in October 1985, never to return, has been grist for national true-crime blogs, talk shows, docudramas, a book and television movie.
Severson, now 44, was first eligible for parole in 1997 for a crime she committed when she was 17.
During past parole hearings, she admitted she'd arranged for the walk in the woods with Missy -- who was also 17 -- but said she had planned only to torment her.
The Arleta native is now serving a 15-years-to-life sentence for second-degree murder at the California Institution for Women, in Corona, where she has been described as a model inmate.
Despite the onset of multiple sclerosis, she has been active in self-help groups, Bible studies, tutoring fellow inmates, fine arts and has earned a B.A. in psychology and a doctorate in theology.
"I'm glad that the board finally did recommend her release on parole," said her attorney, Michael J. Brennan, based in Manhattan Beach. "She's definitely suitable. She served more than 20 years. She was a teenager when convicted. She did not directly kill the victim, though she was involved."
Brennan said upon release, Severson plans to live and work out of a transitional group home in Claremont.
Rich Pfeiffer, a Santa Ana-based attorney who represented Severson at past hearings, said her parole could be the best thing that happened to Missy's family.
"They were so devastated by this loss, and going to the hearings so painful for them. It finally could be over," he said. "This is a chance for Karen to actually contribute to the community, so that the death wouldn't be a complete waste.
"It's the only way it can end."
Doyle, now 45, is serving time at Valley State Prison for Women, in Chowchilla, where she admitted to coaxing Missy into the water and killing her. Doyle may face another parole hearing sometime this summer.
On Friday, state Board of Parole Hearing commissioners found Severson tentatively suited for parole, and recommended her release, a spokesman said.
The decision is subject to a four-month board review, which some say may be perfunctory. After that, the governor has a month to intervene.
The L.A. County district attorney, whose office has fought Severson's release for years, has no legal grounds to appeal. "At this point, there's not much we can do," said D.A. spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons. "It now goes to the Governor's Office, where he will review the case."
And what a case it was.
Missy Avila, Karen Severson and Laura Doyle had grown up on the same block in Arleta. Had once dressed the same Barbies. And had later "headbanged" to the same '80s rock bands, teased the same hairstyles, flirted with the same boys.
Then in October 1985, Severson and Doyle drove their redhead friend into the forest, where they accused her of having sex with their boyfriends.
The girls then lashed out, shoving her head into the 8-inch stream.
Three days later, hikers found Missy lying face down in ankle-deep water. Her pretty face was battered. Her waist-length hair was shorn.
And on her neck, anchoring her 98-pound frame, was a 4-foot, 100-pound log.
Afterward, Doyle sent Missy's mom a sympathy card, accompanied by a $20 bill.
Severson and her 2-year-old daughter moved into the Avila home, saying she wanted to help the family hunt for Missy's killer.
The killers were prosecuted years later when a teenage witness came forward to report seeing three girls head into the woods. And only two walk out.
Since then, Missy's death has been difficult for her three brothers. And especially hard on her mother, Irene.
The family is now gathering letters for Gov. Brown, opposing Severson's release.
"I remember her being outgoing, loving and trusting everybody," said Chris Avila, 37, of Canyon Country, who was 12 the last time he saw his sister. "And that was her downfall."
Irene Avila has been consumed by the loss of her daughter. After one parole hearing nearly a decade ago, she suffered a heart attack, and her doctor ordered she not go back.
"I can't sleep. I can't think. I can't eat. It's been 26 years, it feels like yesterday," she said, her voice faltering at her kitchen table. "Not one day, not one minute, not one second, do I not think about Missy.
"People say, it's been 10 years, 20 years, I don't care if it's 50 years, I'll never get over my daughter," she said.
Severson, she said, should never be released.
"Please keep her in there," Avila said. "She doesn't deserve to be out. Anybody who denies murder, and knows that she did it, is nuts. She's crazy. She doesn't deserve to be out.
"Because she'll do it again."

Shaggy blond hair that hits the nape of his neck, deep blue eyes, and an ever-slight slouch that gives off the perfect air of arrogance without losing that sense of laziness, this 5'10" young man is one of the most stereotypically contradicting people the world could meet. He's lanky with noodle-thin arms and a flat torso, unfashionable because he wears whatever the hell he feels like, and talks to his own shadow. Okay, that last one's pretty weird, but usually Pallas is hiding out of sight until needed. Regardless, he actually looks pretty good if he ever dresses up, but it's nearly impossible to get him to smile (and though his Pokémon has been able to, no one else has). He usually doesn't even frown! It's just a straight face and half-asleep eyes almost 24/7, but for some reason most of the girls at school go wild for it; something about the "I don't care-ness," they say. (They need to lay off the television.)
A double-sided glaive is Eren's only weapon. However, his mother blessed him with a great deal of endurance and stamina, as well as impressive strength whenever he's defending himself. (He actually doesn't like to start fights, if you'd believe it, but word that gets around claims otherwise. He'll even take a hit for Pallas if she's not doing too well.) Finally, while it may not necessarily be a power, he's inherently skilled with handicrafts.
There's really only one adjective necessary to describe Eren, but three will be used instead: Depressing, irritable, destructive, a little condescending... and bad with numbers. Due to such ease in describing his demeanor and cognitive skills, just about everything people know about him is learned from his actions. All others really said to describe Eren is that he's "like an emo kid and a dropout put together, but a thousand times worse, and without all the suicide, crappy generic poems or drugs."
His curiosity also ends up a major problem with him. He's rather intelligent in many subjects (except maths and his alternate language classes... and gym, though he definitely has the skill), but his desire for hands-on experience gets the best of him too many times. That said, he promptly forgot quite a bit of all that "math stuff" whenever summer started. It was nearly impossible to retain it compared to learning about a poisonous frog by dissecting it... and licking it... and going to the hospital. Thankfully, and apparently miraculously to the doctors, he recovered very quickly. Never did that again; got booted out of Biology. His school's staff was really only happy that they couldn't get sued for it. (Almost all the staff hated him, and on one account some even admitted it. Said he was a bad influence on the more dedicated students.)
On Eren's first visit to Camp Half-Blood, his attitude really stuck. However, there were people that tolerated him, even tried to make friends with him. By the end of summer, he was, of course still depressing, irritable and destructive, but he was much more aware of whom his actions affected. After two years at camp, while he retained his old demeanor, Eren's now much... friendlier, so to speak. (That is, he doesn't shoo someone away until after they've made their case now.)
Conceived with the goddess Athena in Idaho, Eren Ritter's biological father is named Sean Ritter. Only three years after his birth and Athena leaving him with Sean, Sean became abusive; unable to hold down a job and started drinking, but that's another story. Before any (physical) injuries were dealt, however, the goddess helped her child into a foster home, then an adoptive family in Seattle. (Sadly, his linked Pokémon, an Eevee at the time, wasn't able to follow him.) Frankly, that didn't help him grow up any better. He had an older step-brother, not a very nice guy until he'd entered high school, when he became sort of a role model (but not to Eren). Needless to say, Eren found himself enjoying the majority of his childhood playing around in the rain and eating Dick's hamburgers, alongside using violent video games as a stress reliever; these ended up being just some of the few things that made him happy enough to smile.
One of the other things turned out to be a Glaceon that'd wandered out of Alaska around the time he was in sixth grade. It looked happy to find Eren and stuck by his side, so the boy took it home and kept it. Even when his parents said no, it wouldn't go away, so they let it stay after just a few days; it's been with him ever since. It was around the time he entered seventh grade where his senses were beginning to get confused. He'd hear and see things, sometimes even feel things that didn't seem to be there. The problem faded within a couple months, but reemerged in high school. During ninth grade, Eren's looks alone were enough to get him into fights with the other students, the attitude was just the icing on the cake. Though he never did start them, he was always the one that walked away without injuries. As such, he was frequently in detention or getting suspended.
During one particular detention session, the "convicts" were assigned to a crafts room. Instead of just sitting at desks and sleeping, they had to clean up. Eren, rather than cleaning, found himself having picked up some tools and yarn and making a beanie for himself in five minutes flat. (Even had his first initial on the inside.) While it was definitely juicy info for the other students, they knew Eren's track record; as a result, his little-known skill stayed little-known. As a year of school passed, he turned out to be the only one left in the gym from a detention sentence. It was rare, but not unheard of for it to happen.
Then something even weirder than temporary schizophrenia happened. A disgusting, monstrous beast with a lion's body and a man's face burst through the doors, charging at Eren with a murderous roar. The first attack he was able to dive out of the way, while the beast slammed into the gymnasium's back wall. The second time he was even luckier. About to pull on a defensive stance to retaliate, a young woman stood between the two carrying a large shield roughly the size of a dinner table, as well as a nice-looking spear. A healthy glow on her skin, short black hair, and armor that would've fit a Trojan War reenactment, she was Athena. She turned to Eren and managed to tell him, "Hello, son, I'll explain in a moment," before practically just flicking the monster into yet another wall. The shield shrunk to a fraction of its former size, but that was probably just to give Athena her mobility back, because she immediately rained "fiery pissed off mother" on the monster, which she later clarified to be a manticore.
Soon enough, Eren was moved to Camp Half-Blood. Knowing he was going to get kicked out of his school eventually (and not wanting to deal with his step-brother), he very willingly stayed year-round with his Pokémon at his side. It was there he learned that the titans in Tartarus were growing in strength, and for the next two years he and Pallas trained for this purpose.

Small request - for any future patches could you make sure gmail sends them as text/plain rather tha application/octet-stream, or have them inline instead of attachments - makes it easier to reply quoting the patch. So, the bulk of this patch is just getting rid of the anonymous members in the union. Looks huge, but its an obvious safe fix - I explored doing this myself before to make us compile in c89 mode, but decided it wasn't worth it at the time, since we've a tonne of other stuff which breaks in c89 mode already. I'm rather puzzelled about this: - free(names[i]); + free((void *)names[i]); There should never be any need to cast to (void*) as far as I understand things. There's a couple more examples of this.

Unreal: Fox News claims Obama invoked racial segregation with his car analogy
Research ››› ››› JOCELYN FONG
After President Obama made the analogy that Republican politicians should have to ride "in the back seat" after driving "this car," the United States, "into the ditch," Fox News figures have tried to claim that Obama made an "offensive" and "appalling" reference to racial segregation and "the back of the bus." They have yet to explain why Obama would want to compare himself to segregationists and his political opponents to civil rights hero Rosa Parks.
Obama car analogy: GOP should ride in "the back seat" after driving the car "into the ditch"
In several campaign speeches, Obama used "the analogy of a car being driven into the ditch" to argue that voters should not put Republicans in control of Congress. For instance, on October 23, he said that Democrats have been "pushing" the car to "level ground" while Republicans "have been standing on the sidelines." Obama added:
Finally we got this car up on level ground. And, yes, it's a little beat up. It needs to go to the body shop. It's got some dents; it needs a tune-up. But it's pointing in the right direction. And now we've got the Republicans tapping us on the shoulder, saying, we want the keys back.
You can't have the keys back. You don't know how to drive. You can ride with us if you want, but you got to sit in the backseat. We're going to put middle-class America in the front seat. We're looking out for them.
Obama has been using this car analogy for months.
Following Beck, Fox pushes notion that Obama was making racial reference to "the back of the bus"
Beck: "Are we looking to settle old scores, here? Is that what's happening, Mr. President?" During the October 26 edition of his radio show, Glenn Beck aired audio from Obama's speech and asked, "So is this a back of the bus kind of analogy?" Beck later invoked the racial segregation of the 1950s and asked, "What is the difference?" He also stated, "Are we looking to settle old scores, here? Is that what's happening, Mr. President? Because I'm just wondering. It sounds like there is a time to settle old scores, which sounds to me like you're inciting people":
BECK: So is this the back of the bus kind of analogy? Is that where -- is that where the enemies go now, in the back? Because I'm just wondering.
STU: A little bit of a -- he's saying the back seat. He's not saying the back of the bus. I mean, he's talking about--
BECK: Oh, okay. But we can't sit in the front with him?
STU: No. He's saying that he's going to drive the car and you can sit in the back if you want.
BECK: Well, there's a passenger seat. Why can't we sit in the--
STU: That's because that's where George Soros is sitting, that's why.
BECK: I'm just wondering why we're sitting in the back.
STU: We get -- what we get is in the old-school station wagon, the seat that faces backwards, in like the trunk. That's where we get to sit. But we're in the car and he wants to make sure you know we're in the car
BECK: Well but I mean, in the 50's people were still in the bus, they were just in the back of the bus. What is the difference? You can't sit in the front seat. Why can't I sit in the front seat? Why can't I sit in the front seat, Mr. President? Why am I sitting in the back seat? Why are you saying you have to punish your enemies? Are we looking to settle old scores, here? Is that what's happening, Mr. President? Because I'm just wondering. It sounds like there is a time to settle old scores, which sounds to me like you're inciting people.
I'd be very careful, Mr. President, of inciting people because that's what it sounds to me -- you want to punish the enemies. You're reaching into the Hispanic community and saying these people are enemies and they must be punished. How? How exactly? What does that mean exactly? And why are Republicans, or why are people that disagree with you suddenly second-class citizens that cannot sit in the front seat. I understand your little analogy -- that you can't drive but why can't you sit in the front seat? Why do you have to sit in the back seat, Mr. President?
Beck previously claimed Obama's agenda was driven by "reparations" and a desire to "settle old racial scores."
Hannity claims Obama was making a reference to "the back of the bus." After airing a portion of Obama's remarks on the October 26 edition of his Fox News show (accessed via Nexis), Sean Hannity characterized Obama's statement as "talk about sit in the back of the bus." Hannity further stated, "I wonder if I, as a talk show host and a conservative commentator made such a reference." Fox News contributor Dana Perino and Fox Business host Stuart Varney said that Hannity would "be fired." Later, while interviewing Michael Steele, Hannity said, "President Barack Obama actually said Republicans can go to the back of the bus. I'm not sure if you heard the comment."
Varney: "I know the association that that was bringing to the public mind." Appearing on the October 26 edition of Hannity, Varney said that Obama's remarks were "offensive," adding, "when I looked at that, being foreign born, I know the association that that was bringing to the public mind ... It's unpresidential."
Johnson: Obama went "back 55 years and summoned the horrible image" of racial segregation. During the October 27 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, Fox News legal analyst Peter Johnson Jr. said Obama's comments about the car were "a peculiar and strange and haunting and really backward reference that we're seeing by the president and what we're really seeing is a reference to the notion of being in the back of the bus, and that's a matter of sad American history, embarrassing American history." Johnson added:
JOHNSON: When we engage in this charged, strange, malignant kind of language, we are not moving forward. We are moving backwards in this country and it's a regrettable statement. The American bus, the American car is a bus and a car for all Americans, regardless of race and regardless of party. And so when we're allegedly in this post-partisan, post-racial era where we summon our better angels, to summon our worst demons and to go back 55 years and summon the horrible image of a courageous Rosa Parks fighting the evil of segregation, to inject that again into our politics is a mistake, it's a surprising thing and I'm sure the president wouldn't do it again. It's sad though.
During the segment, Fox aired on-screen text stating, "Pres Obama brings up imagery of segregation":
Crowley claimed Obama's remarks had "racial overtones." On the October 27 edition of Fox News' America Live, host Megyn Kelly said there is "brand new backlash" about Obama's "controversial comments." Fox News contributor Monica Crowley said Obama's analogy was "appalling" and that if it had been a Republican president, "there might even be a movement to impeach at this point, but this man gets away with it." Crowley added:
CROWLEY: I think after the civil rights movement of the 1950s, riding in the back certainly does have some civil rights and racial overtones to it and you can't tell me that the president of the United States was not aware of that when he said it.

Richard Dyer-Bennet's Living Tradition of American Minstrelsy
WNYC's American Music Festival features Richard Dyer-Bennet in his all-too-brief heyday, before betrayal and political accusations would derail his career, in this 1945 studio appearance.
Long before the folk music "revival" of the 1960s, Dyer-Bennet and others had revived the art of minstrelsy, rescuing the music of ordinary people and expanding on it to carry forward a tradition. With his intimate and timeless music, he stands in stark contrast to the Big Band and pop entertainment being peddled by the mass media of the time.
Dyer-Bennet speaks briefly at the beginning of this recording, saying that he will sing songs that are either wholly American or that form "the background for the American musical experience." The famous countertenor then launches into a simultaneously mournful and humorous "Go Tell Aunt Rhody." There follows a mix of sea shanties, folk ballads, as well as highly polished Elizabethan songs, all accompanied by his classical-guitar playing. In the middle of the performance, the announcer speaks of Dyer-Bennet's apprenticeship to the great Swedish minstrel, Sven Scholander, who advised that "the only way to learn the art of minstrelsy was to sing to the people, to feel their response, to make them believe what you were singing." Dyer-Bennet then resumes, singing among other well-known ballads, "Barbara Allen" and "Black Is the Color of My True Love's Hair." As he continues to strum away in the background, the announcer expresses the hope that "he is to be with us for many more festival broadcasts." In fact, he would soon be banned from the airwaves.
Dyer-Bennet was born in 1913. His unusual vocal talents were recognized by the teacher Gertrude Beckman, who heard him sing at a Christmas party. Dyer-Bennet studied with Beckman and then, prompted by his teacher's appreciation of Scholander, who was retired, journeyed to Sweden, where he convinced the at-first-reluctant older man to teach him many of the songs from his vast repertoire. Dyer-Bennet was later to say this was the greatest musical experience he ever had. Upon returning to America, the Richard Dyer-Bennet Resource Page recounts:
…Dyer-Bennet moved to New York and quickly became part of the great folk music revival underway there. He found work singing first at Le Ruban Bleu, a nightclub run by Herbert Jacoby, and then at the famed Village Vanguard in Manhattan, where he honed his art and became a thorough professional. Dyer-Bennet's appearances on stage at the Vanguard happily surprised its clientele. More accustomed to hearing the latest jazz acts, the audience gradually came to embrace the folk material of Burl Ives. Yet they hardly knew how to react when Dyer-Bennet appeared on stage in full evening dress and began to sing ballads that were centuries old. Two regular Vanguard fans of Dyer-Bennet were Mike Quill and Ted Zittel. Quill was involved in the Transport Worker's Union, and Zittel was his publicity man. Zittel arranged for Dyer-Bennet to sing for the union at Madison Square Garden, and then helped to arrange his first recitals at New York's Town Hall in 1944. Later that same year Dyer-Bennet sang at Carnegie Hall.
The connection with Quill is important, an example of the links that existed between organized labor and folk music as part of an alternative working-class culture. Dyer-Bennet was quite successful in the late 1940s and early '50s. He entertained troops during the war and maintained a busy concert and recording schedule. In 1955, however, his fellow folk singer Ives "named names" before the House Un-American Activities Committee. Dyer-Bennet had, of course, performed at events that had ties to organizations allied with the Communist Party but there was no evidence of any political affiliation on his part. He was asked to "sing," as Ives had, but refused, and so was blacklisted. This effectively ended his performing career. His business partner, Harvey Cort, quoted in the book Richard Dyer-Bennet: The Last Minstrel, notes:
Pete Seeger used the fact that he was blacklisted almost as good publicity. Dick couldn't do that. He wasn't singing left-wing or pro-labor stuff in the first place. When Dick got bombed with the Red Channels stuff it interrupted his career. And when you interrupt a performer's career it's very hard to get back the momentum. Your audience gets dispersed.
Dyer-Bennet's solution was to start his own recording label. Making records in his own living room, he produced 14 albums which have since been re-released by Smithsonian-Folkways. They trace the broad arc of American folk music, delving into its English, Scottish, and Irish roots, as well. Eventually, as the political and musical climate once again became receptive to less commercialized music, Dyer-Bennet's achievement began to receive renewed appreciation. Jason Ankeny, writing in allmusic.com, reports that he:
…remained a notable presence on the folk music landscape throughout the 1960s; beginning in 1970, he even taught an experimental class at SUNY at Stony Brook based on his theories of vocal training for actors. After suffering a cerebral hemorrhage in 1972, which severely limited the use of his left hand, making it virtually impossible to play guitar, Dyer-Bennet's folk career was essentially finished; still, music remained his obsession, and in 1977 he completed his own translation of Schubert's "Die Schöne Mullerin," and also continued work on a long-planned musical adaptation of Homer's Odyssey, for which he was the recipient of a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities in 1979.
Dyer-Bennet died in 1991, at the age of 78.

A failed delivery valve screw pertaining to hydraulic pump of an aircraft was forwarded to the laboratory for analysis. Fractographic study showed that the valve screw has failed by fatigue. There was multiple fatigue crack initiation at the thread root, which subsequently propagated progressively over about 85% of the cross section. It was discovered that the presence of excessive amount of MnS inclusions in the material was responsible for the fatigue crack initiation in the component. A detailed analysis of the failure is reported.

We're sure Stedman won't mind...
Oprah Winfrey has been smooching Academy-Award winning actor Forest Whitaker -- but it's all in the name of work. The media mogul stars as Whitaker's wife in the upcoming film The Butler. "I felt pretty good about it, let me just say. Forest is a good kisser, how about that? Thank you, Keisha Whitaker," says Oprah in an interview today with CBS This Morning.
She sat down with Charlie Rose, Norah O'Donnell and her own BFF Gayle King to chat about the film, leadership, education, philanthropy and more. Among the highlights:
On how OWN and O, The Oprah Magazine are doing: "I will tell you this. That this is a tough time for magazines, all magazines, that's why we're very proud for our e-edition of O magazine. We've been in business for 12 years. And I think that means I've done about 120 covers. I'm really excited about what's happening at OWN. When I was on in April, we were going through some tough times. I'm happy to report that we have made the turn, and it's been like turning the ship around in the middle of a small canal, but we've made the turn and I'm really just so thrilled about so much of the programming."
On taking graduates of her schools in South Africa back-to-school shopping: "I really liked the experience of Target, Bed, Bath & Beyond. I really liked the experience. But I will tell you of all the things that I've done with the school, I woke up on the morning that we were going shopping, and it really hit me that, "Oh my God, we really did this." You know, nobody does anything alone and, again, it's about getting the right leadership in place and getting the girls to a point where they can use the education that we provided. So now, you're right, we have a number of girls in schools in the United States and a number of -- everybody in this entire graduation class is in college. So that's all exciting. To be able to do that, with your ranking, wherever you're ranked on anybody's list, to me is a very good thing."
