Christmas in May: A Janeane Garofalo interview
Christmas in May: A Janeane Garofalo interview
: Oh boy, oh boy, I go to Alternet and what do I find but a Janeane Garofalo interview with the Progressive that was done just as war started. A few crunchy nuggets:
Q: What's your opinion on the current state of the mainstream media?
Garofalo: The mainstream media has, in my opinion, been so grossly negligent, so disturbingly devoid of authentic debate, and actual dissemination of information….
The parents of the troops who die and the parents of Iraqi civilians who die should have the right to slap a lot of these media outlets with a suit of criminal negligence. Military parents would have a legitimate case, especially against Fox and the New York Post for cheerleading this thing the whole way, for waving the flag, and using knee-jerk, sycophantic, pseudo-patriotism as a tool to galvanize public opinion.
Say what? Sue on what basis? Opinion? You're the one complaining that people are daring to disagree with your opinion and now you want people to sue others over their opinions? That's every bit as stupid as it sounds.
Q: Do you think it's possible to have a liberal media network?
Garofalo: It is possible. What's not possible is to penetrate the wall of opposition. The myth is it can't work. Phil Donahue was working, but MSNBC took it off for their own rightwing agenda.
Phil Donahue was working? Compared to what? If Phil Donahue is the best video provocateur (we) liberals can come up with, it's a sad and sorry state.
Q: Do you have plans to tour again?
Garofalo: No…. I have no plans to travel at this point, in part because nothing's funny to me.
Q: Why is that?
Garofalo: There's been such an assault on democracy here, and the mainstream media is complicit in it. We are living in neo-McCarthy, post-democratic times. Democracy is being criminalized. Democracy is being ignored….
I never imagined that I would never care about dumb things anymore. I never imagined I'd be a person who could transcend that kind of nonsense. But beyond that, I never imagined I would be penalized for speaking out in favor of social justice. I never thought that anyone who spoke out for peace, and diplomacy, and social justice would be pilloried.
I'm frequently depressed, just have a general malaise. And I don't mean a malaise of indifference, I mean a malaise of sadness and fear. I've always been alarmed by some of the things that the mainstream media does and by what the government does, no matter who's in office, but the broken heart is new.
So, once again, it's all about Janeane: Janeane the transcender of nonsense, Janeane the pilloried spokesperson for peace, Janeane who just doesn't care about dumb things, Janeane the queen of ennui.
You can never, never underestimate the ego of a star, even a small one.
Janeane: Democracy is far from dead. Disagreement is what democracy is all about.
If you can't stand the heat, get out of the spotlight!

: An expat in China who's moving out of Beijing tries to find news about SARS on TV:
Last night I saw yet another dimension to the evils of China's censorship machine. I was watching CNN in my hotel when a guest was introduced to dicusss how China's lies about SARS in Beijing were damaging the nation's political system. This sounded interesting and I sat up to listen. Suddenly, to my utter amazement, the screen went black. It stayed black for about ten minutes with no sound. Then, just as suddenly, the picture and sound came back, just in time for me to hear the announcer thanking the speaker for his time. China is still obsessed with censoring the news and will go to any lengths to keep people in the dark about its crimes, whether we're talking about Tiananmen Square or SARS.

: A secular, pro-democracy activist in Iran issues a statement that hints at asking for outside (read: American) help there:
We invite non-governmental reformists, constitutional monarchists, religious-nationalists, socialists and all freedom lovers who understand the necessity of unity, to join us in the only alternative for liberty without bloodshed. Otherwise the oppressed people of Iran might seek other ways to escape cruelty, corruption, injustice and poverty and ask foreigners for freedom — like in Afghanistan and Iraq.
: Robert J. Lieber in The Chronicle of Higher Education does a great job of exposing, summarizing, and puncturing the conspiracy theories of the when-did-they-become-anti-Semitic-left regarding the supposed neocon cabal running the U.S. with ambitions to run the world:
A small band of neoconservative (read, Jewish) defense intellectuals, led by the "mastermind," Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz (according to Michael Lind, writing in the New Statesman), has taken advantage of 9/11 to put their ideas over on an ignorant, inexperienced, and "easily manipulated" president (Eric Alterman in The Nation), his "elderly figurehead" Defense Secretary (as Lind put it), and the "dutiful servant of power" who is our secretary of state (Edward Said, London Review of Books).
Thus empowered, this neoconservative conspiracy, "a product of the influential Jewish-American faction of the Trotskyist movement of the '30s and '40s" (Lind), with its own "fanatic" and "totalitarian morality" (William Pfaff, International Herald Tribune) has fomented war with Iraq — not in the interest of the United States, but in the service of Israel's Likud government (Patrick J. Buchanan and Alterman).
This sinister mythology is worthy of the Iraqi information minister…

Senator tells Gonzales in private meeting to resign
The Attorney General's effort yesterday to patch up ties with a centrist Democratic lawmaker yielded little benefit. Senator Mark Pryor (D-AR) said through a spokesman after a Wednesday morning meeting that Alberto Gonzales could do "what's best for the Justice Department, the White House, and himself" by resigning.
"He told him to his face he should resign," Pryor's spokesman, Michael Teague, told RAW STORY.
The Attorney General met with Pryor at the urgings of Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), who suggested he could restore his credibility by patching up strained ties with some lawmakers. Pryor, an Arkansas Democrat, was angered by the Justice Department's effort to use an interim appointment authority to install Tim Griffin, a former top aide to White House strategist Karl Rove, as US Attorney for the Eastern District of Arkansas.
Pryor has a political reputation as a moderate. He was a member of the "Gang of 14," a group of Democratic and Republican lawmakers who banded together to confirm a group of federal judges appointed by President George W. Bush that were being filibustered by Senate Democrats.
Teague questioned Gonzales' motives for setting up the meeting with Pryor.
"Pryor is the type of Senator who will say his door is open, he'll sit down and listen to you," Teague said "He wasn't going to allow them to use it as a PR thing."
Teague also offered a more practical reason for Gonzales to resign: the increased scrutiny the Justice Department will get from Congress in other areas as a consequence of the US Attorneys controversy.
"He's lost the support of senators, that makes his effectiveness as Attorney General more problematic as they try to conclude this administration. People aren't just going to take him at his word, and every time he wants to do something, they're going to run him through the ringer to get the real story, and not the political spin that's been orchestrated through the White House," Teague argued. "Whenever he needs something from Congress, he'll have to go the extra mile."
On the subject of Tim Griffin, Pryor's spokesperson took umbrage at a strategy that the Justice Department was revealed to be using to help Bush political strategist Griffin into his position as Attorney General: puffing up his education credentials.
Talking points in the latest set of documents turned over by the Justice Department suggested that "unlike Mr. Griffin, [Cummins and previous US Attorneys] did not attend top-rated universities." Bud Cummins, the US Attorney that Griffing replaced, had attended the University of Arkansas for his undergraduate and law school studies. Teague said that Senator Pryor had, too.
"Considering that Pryor was graduate of the University of Arkansas Law School, and so was dad, and many others, we didn't think much about it," he said. "It seemed kinda silly actually. In Arkansas, if you really went out and told people that, they wouldn't appreciate that. It speaks for itself, you shouldn't rub that in people's faces that you went to school outside the state."
He added, "We've always said, this isn't the way this is supposed to be done, you shouldn't be installed as US Attorney via press release."
Teague remained mum about the US Attorney who would replace Griffin when his interim appointment expires.
"Rep. John Boozman [the only Republican in Arkansas's congressional delegation] submitted a list of names three of four weeks ago, but we've heard nothing since," he said. "The Senator is not going to say one thing or another until they pick somebody, and then put them through the confirmation process. He's always been very open-minded on these type of appointments, but he does not appreciate the administration trying to ramrod them through and circumvent the Senate."

There are a few different documentaries on the history and culture of home video on the horizon (and we'll have a look at ADJUST YOUR TRACKING: THE UNTOLD STORY OF THE VHS COLLECTOR later this week), but the biggest and most all-encompassing figures to be PLASTIC MOVIES REWOUND: THE STORY OF THE '80S HOME VIDEO BOOM, a massive, six-part epic of Ken Burnsian proportions directed by Mike Malloy, who helmed the excellent EUROCRIME! THE ITALIAN COP AND GANGSTER FILMS THAT RULED THE '70S. (As his first doc is set in the '70s, with this one in the '80s, I'm looking forward to the follow-up project, which will obviously be about some cult movie phenomena of the '90s. I'm guessing WITCHCRAFT sequels.)
While much progress has been made on PLASTIC MOVIES REWOUND and many interviews have been shot, they're looking for just a little bit more funding to push them over the edge to continue the production and head into post. And you can even get some great bonuses out of contributing, including vintage video magazines and some very rare DVDs and VHS tapes signed by the likes of Donald Farmer, Tom Garrett and Tim Ritter!
Best of all, you'll get a chance to contribute to the most comprehensive history of home video yet! Check out their sizzle reel below, and click here to contribute!

Equine Angels rescue 6 malnourished horses from Butler County
Six malnourished horses a rescue team took from a Fairview Township, Butler County, farm munched on badly needed food on Friday, the head of an animal rescue team said.
"They haven't lifted their heads from the hay," said Pam Vivirito, founder of Equine Angels Rescue.
The group is sheltering the six horses at its Jefferson farm.
The owner of the Fairview farm, Brian Arendosh, did not return phone messages on Friday. Vivirito said she would seek charges, including cruelty to animals, through state police. State trooper Shawn King, the humane officer who covers Butler County, said charges are pending.
"These horses have been like this for awhile," Vivirito said.
Members of a family who drive past Arendosh's farm noticed several of the horses outside and called the rescue group, Vivirito said.
When volunteers went to the farm Thursday, they found a pair each of paint horses, quarter horses and thoroughbreds in poor condition. All six, caked with manure and mud, had heart murmurs and worms, were badly underweight and suffered other ailments, Vivirito said,.
Two horses in the worst condition were found locked in stalls, Vivirito added.
"There was no shelter, no water, no hay," Vivirito said. All of the horses, between the ages of 10 and early 20s, are expected to recover, she said.
She said Arendosh surrendered the six horses.
"They were all in his care," Vivirito said.
Three ponies in better shape remain at the farm, though Vivirito said the rescue team wants them as well.
Since Jan. 1, the group has taken in 26 emaciated horses in Butler County, already outpacing last year's 18 rescues. All stay at the group's Jefferson farm and it costs about $500 a week to feed them. The veterinarian bill for Thursday's rescue is about $700, she added.
Rising grain prices and a hay shortage have led some to neglect their horses, Vivirito said.
The group does not take horses every time they investigate a neglect report, Vivirito added.
"We try to educate (owners) when we can. We can tell the people are trying and there's an effort."

Updated 4:01 am, Friday, May 2, 2014
The University of Texas-Pan American is one of 55 colleges across the country facing federal investigations into their handling of sexual abuse complaints.
UT-Pan Am, in a statement Thursday, acknowledged it's being investigated based on a complaint notice it received that alleged UT-Pan Am "discriminated against a student on the basis of sex by failing to promptly and equitably respond to her complaint that she was sexually assaulted."
UT-Pan Am isn't allowed under federal law to disclose the content of student records, so it wasn't more specific.
News Channel
Documents obtained by the San Antonio Express-News through the federal open-records law did provide some information about a complaint in February from a former student.
Those records, though most of the details were removed to protect privacy, allege that UT-Pan Am failed "to properly and fairly investigate" serious crimes, which "constitutes a hostile and inequitable learning environment."
"I experienced exactly why people are afraid to report being sexually assaulted and why reports are so uncommon," read the introduction to the complaint.
UT-Pan Am, in a statement, said: "The University of Texas-Pan American takes its responsibilities under Title IX seriously and condemns sexual violence, harassment and misconduct by or against any member of our University community," the statement continued. "We endeavor to treat all claimants with respect and dignity, and achieve a result that is fair and just to all parties involved in a timely manner."
Read more about the complaint on ExpressNews.com or in Friday's edition of the Express-News.

Earlier this week, the Royal Navy announced that Lieutenant Commander Sarah West would take command of HMS Portland, a type-32 frigate, in April next year. She will be the first woman in the service's 500-year history to command a British warship.
The gradual − some would say belated − infiltration by women of the upper ranks of military forces is beginning to accelerate.
Last year, for example, the Pentagon lifted its ban on employing women in submarines, as did the UK's Ministry of Defence. Ten years ago, the French Foreign Legion was told it had to accept women (although there is no evidence that any woman has worn the kepi since the change of rule).
However, there are still a number of critical no-go areas for career women in the military. In the US, women comprise about 20 per cent of US military forces, but they are barred from joining the elite Navy Seals or from deployment in front-line armed combat.
In the UK, women are excluded from a number of elite forces, including the Royal Marine Commandos, the Household Cavalry and the Royal Armoured Corps.
According to the Ministry of Defence website, the country's highest-ranking female officers are one naval commodore, two army brigadiers, 20 colonels and 20 Royal Air Force group captains. The most senior woman in the US Army is General Ann E. Dunwoody – the first female general to wear four stars.
Earlier this year, Congress charged a new commission, the Military Leadership Diversity Commission, to report on improving diversity in US forces. According to the published report, the demographic composition of the officer corps "is far from representative of the American population and … officers are much less demographically diverse than the enlisted troops they lead".
The report found women comprised just 4 per cent of army generals, 3 per cent of Marine Corps generals, 7 per cent of navy admirals and 9 per cent of air force generals.
A significant factor in these figures is the exclusion of women from combat roles – a recognised source of promotion. The report challenges widely held views that fully integrating women into military forces, including those involved in close combat, would undermine mission effectiveness. "The blanket restriction for women limits the ability of commanders in theatre to pick the most capable person for the job," it states.
Late last year, the UK's Ministry of Defence also published a report reviewing its policy of excluding women from close-combat roles, but in the absence of "conclusive evidence", it decided to maintain current restrictions.
Followers of this blog and readers of Lord Davies' report into FTSE company board diversity will recognise many of the 20 recommendations made by the US commission. It proposes that a "chief diversity officer" for US armed forces be appointed, and calls for regular "accountability reviews" and more transparency in the promotion system.
Earlier this year, the RAF was named one of The Times newspaper's top 50 employers for women. The air force's most senior woman, Air Commodore Barbara Cooper, quoted in a science and technology supplement in The Independent, said: "Single-gender groups act in a different way to mixed-gender ones. In the RAF, women's presence has improved quality of output, which is fantastic for women."
Some see women's debarment from the front line as a final hurdle in the fight for equality, while others argue there are still certain circumstances in which all-male teams are necessary. Either way, we wish soon-to-be Commander West the very best with her new appointment.

Sunbather Thwarts Cobra's Attack Or Does She?
An amazing moment was caught on tape as a sunbathing woman apparently confronted a deadly cobra that was about to attack.
The heart-stopping attack took place in South Africa and amazed viewers around the world. Alas, it apparently is a hoax.
Citizen sleuths spotted what looks like the shadow of a guy with a fishing rod. The cobra seems to be attached to the line as it makes its way to the woman.
INSIDE EDITION showed the video to reptile expert Tom Hudak who said: "The snake was moving far too fast. It was moving in a straight line. Snakes such as cobras move in kind of an 'S' shape. Cobras would never move in a straight line and they are incapable of those speeds."
In the video, she throws it away. The snake looked dead and landed with a thud.

UNSPECIFIED (2008) Incorporating Environmental Sustainability into Civil Engineering Curriculum. ASEE Gobal Colloquim on Engineering Education Proceedings 2008 .
Full text not available from this repository.
Concerns on environmental and climate change has caused nation to step out efforts in environmental protection. Environmental protection is vital for global sustainability and for improving the quality of life. However, efforts in protecting the environment have become a challenging task in the twenty-first century. Malaysia, like many other countries is also facing problems of environmental degradation. Air pollution, storm water management, demolition debris and energy consumption are some examples which cause major environmental impacts due to the construction activities. One of the many ways to protect global environment is by incorporating environmental sustainability into the undergraduate engineering curriculum. These students will graduate and become engineers who will be working in many areas, and their work has a wide and direct range of impacts in all development activities. As a responsible global citizen and leaders of the next generation, it is vital that students develop an understanding of sustainability and human-environmental relations. The success of resolving the environmental issues and concerns depends on how well the students understand and view the environmental and its complexities. This paper highlights the need of incorporating environmental sustainability into engineering curricula in order to fully equip the students with the knowledge of environmental importance at the early stage of their career.

BONN (Aug. 21)
The Ministry of Interior has rejected a demand by a citizens group opposed to the ultra right-wing National Democratic Party that the elections committee bar the party from participating in next month's national elections. The Actions Committee for Democratic Progress, which made the demand, charged that the NPD was the successor to the Nazi Party, and under the West German Constitution, is therefore illegal since the Constitution prohibits the existence of a Nazi Party.
A Ministry spokesman said however that the duty of the elections committee was to ascertain whether a political party had fulfilled the conditions of Art. 19 of the election law not to determine whether it was for or against the constitution.

Kinshasa -
Clashes erupted again early Saturday between the army and M23 rebels in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, the restive region where fighting has been flaring all week, the two sides said.
"Early this morning they attacked," said Lieutenant Colonel Olivier Hamuli, an army spokesman. "We're in the middle of fighting at the moment."
A spokesman for the rebels, Colonel Vianney Kazarama, confirmed that fighting broke out early in the morning, adding that the army "attacked us with helicopters and tanks."
The clashes in the Nord Kivu region erupted hours after the United Nations put its peacekeepers in the region on high alert.
Violence flared this week after the UN and the United States imposed sanctions on the leader of the M23 rebel group, 38-year-old Sultani Makenga.
The M23 broke away from the national army early this year and UN chief Ban Ki-moon said in a report made public on Friday that the rebels now pose a long-term threat to the government.
A recent UN report charged that Rwanda and Uganda, which both border eastern DR Congo, were supporting the rebels, a charge both countries deny. - Sapa-AFP

Much has changed for Steelers during offseason
They've gotten younger and faster. In about a month, the Steelers will learn if they've gotten better.
They've gone through top-to-bottom player evaluations that followed a second successive 8-8 record, a roster makeover in which some longtime fixtures departed and eight free agents arrived. They went through a draft that added nine more players, a rookie minicamp and four weeks of practices.
These are extensive changes by Steelers standards, and it's largely because of two sub-standard seasons. They'll get a better idea of who will be staying and who will be going, who can be counted upon and who can't, who will be starting and who won't when training camp starts July 25 in Latrobe.
For now, here's what's different about the Steelers, and no, it's not just that 14 players who were on their 53-man roster at the end of last season aren't around.
Warren Sapp won't call this defense old and slow.
Ben Roethlisberger noticed it as soon as he began running plays: This might be the quickest Steelers defense he has seen, and it's not just because of new linebacker Ryan Shazier and safety Mike Mitchell.
"It may not have a lot of names people know, but they're flying around and it's fun to watch," Roethlisberger said.
Dick LeBeau's take?
"You can never have enough speed," he said.
Ike Taylor's observation? "Super duper fast."
The no-huddle is close to becoming a base offense.
Roethlisberger is so confident and comfortable running the no-huddle that it's now part of almost everything the Steelers do. New receiver Lance Moore said he believes they'll use it extensively.
"We are gearing ourselves up to go no-huddle at any time," receivers coach Richard Mann said.
Being versatile isn't just an asset, it's a necessity.
More players on both sides of the ball are being asked to do more. Dri Archer is in the running backs' room one day, the wide receivers' room the next. Le'Veon Bell and LeGarrette Blount possess contrasting styles, yet they're almost interchangeable. Blount is catching passes; Bell is being used in goal-line situations.
Shazier and Arthur Moats can play outside or inside linebacker, the kind of versatility the Steelers lacked when Larry Foote went down for the season in Week 1 last year. Moore can line up in the slot or outside. Wesley Johnson can play every offensive line position. Cam Thomas can play defensive end or nose tackle. And the list goes on.
There's no wide receiver starter opposite Antonio Brown yet. Or is there?
This might be the most-watched competition during camp, with no designated starter.
Moore got more reps as spring practices progressed. Markus Wheaton could emerge, but the spring surprise was 2013 sixth-round pick Justin Brown, who didn't make the team last season. Martavis Bryant, the fourth-round pick, seems more likely to be employed in situational roles. But offensive coordinator Todd Haley said former Raiders and Colts receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey — a former first-round pick — will get a look, too.
"I think competition is a great thing. It brings out the best in everybody. I don't think we are in any hurry to make some of those decisions," Haley said. "We want to let it play out."
Cam Heyward could be the next Steelers defensive star.
Coming off his five-sack season, Heyward is playing Brett Keisel's former stand-up defensive end role in the base defense. He's also being used in a multitude of ways in the sub packages the Steelers play more than 60 percent of the time.
The Steelers are doing a lot with Heyward because they believe he can deliver.
The offensive linemen might not be working harder under Mike Munchak, but it looks like it.
"We're not inventing the wheel," Munchak said. "We're doing a lot of the things that they've done before, just maybe drilling it a different way."

Australian actors Margot Robbie and Jai Courtney have booked two of the six lead roles in the upcoming Warner Bros blockbuster film Suicide Squad.
The film - which teams up six iconic "super-villains" from the DC Comics universe and sends them on what seems to be a one-way mission - is one of Warner Bros major releases for 2016.
Robbie and Courtney will play Harley Quinn and Boomerang in the film. They will be joined by Jared Leto (playing The Joker), Will Smith (Deadshot), Tom Hardy (Rick Flag) and Cara Delevingne (Enchantress).
Robbie's character, Harley Quinn, is drawn from the Batman universe, most commonly seen in comic books as the girlfriend of The Joker.
Courtney's character, Boomerang, is a villain of Australian origin in the DC universe, most commonly seen as a rival to The Flash.
Based on a DC Comics graphic novel, it sees the "super-villains" assembled by the government and tasked with a million which will most likely kill them in exchange for freedom.
The film will be filmed in Toronto next year and directed by David Ayer.
Several key roles in the film remain to be cast, including the team's supervisor, Dr Amanda Waller.
According to the US trade publication Variety, Viola Davis, Octavia Spencer and Oprah Winfrey are on the studio's wish list to play Dr Waller.
The character Lex Luthor, a villain in the Superman universe, will also appear in the film.
According to media reports, he will be played by Jesse Eisenberg, who will play the same character in the upcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
Suicide Squad is part of a broader slate of superhero tie-in films which have become Hollywood's breadbasket.
All of the major studios are cranking out superhero films, including Disney's Iron-Man, Captain America and Thor, 20th Century Fox's X-Men and Wolverine, Sony's Spiderman and Warner Bros' Batman vs Superman.
Both Marvel, whose films are released by Disney, Fox and Sony, and DC Comics, whose films are released by Warner Bros, have stretched the spandex to the limit, with some 30 superhero films planned for across the next six years.

New Life Chiropractic Center
As a child, Ohio native Dr. Joel Feeman struggled with sinus infections and allergies. Unsure where to turn, his parents consulted a friend, who suggested that perhaps chiropractic treatments could assist in bolstering his nervous system. The effectiveness of the treatments led the Feemans to expose not only Joel but also the entire family to chiropractic care, making a significant impact on the young doctor-to-be, who at age 9 decided to follow in the steps of the doctor who improved his quality of life. Now Dr. Feeman and his skilled staff of five work to improve lives throughout their community, helping to prevent illnesses before they start, relieve pain, and help patients to learn to correctly pronounce "coccyx" through both hands-on chiropractic care and computer-instrument adjustments.

Album Spotlight: Brad Paisley, 'Moonshine in the Trunk'
Brad Paisley's 'Moonshine in the Trunk' album is a particularly, purposefully inspiring album with no less than four songs meant to remind the listener that he or she can achieve anything. There's not a drop of pain or bittersweet to be found on Paisley's 10th studio release, which follows 2013's 'Wheelhouse.'
Songs like 'High Life' and 'Gone Green' quench a thirst for Paisley's unique sense of humor. The first may be the best of the 15 tracks on 'Moonshine …' Carrie Underwood steps up to poke fun at herself and a culture of money-hungry Americans. They even take a not-so-subtle jab at the Nashville songwriter who accused them of stealing 'Remind Me.'
"I heard a song a couple months ago, was Carrie Underwood on the radio / Reminded me of a poem my brother wrote back in second grade / I know she didn't steal it but so what / We lawyered up and we sued her butt."
The meat of the album is songs like 'River Bank,' 'Limes' and '4WP' — those mid-to-uptempo tracks that steer straight down country Main St. One won't find a single offensive lyric among the 15. There are plenty of drinking songs (tequila and margaritas, por favor) and a few gentle love songs.
'Perfect Storm' may be the best lover:
"She destroys me in that T-shirt / And I love her so much it hurts," Paisley sings around an impressive orchestration and the familiar "whoa-whoas" that dot so many of his most recent projects. "She doesn't just rain, she pours / That girl right there's the perfect storm."
Fans will find confidence and encouragement in most of the rest. There's 'Crushin' It' and 'Limes':
"You take it all with a grain of salt / And realize sometimes it ain't your fault."
'American Flag on the Moon':
"Tonight, I dare you to dream / Go on, believe impossible things / Whenever anybody says there's anything we can't do / I mean, after all, there's an American flag on the moon."
And most impressively, 'Shattered Glass':
"Bust that ceiling out, the sky's the limit now / The world is changing fast / Wear your hair back and run / Like you ain't ever done before / It's your time at last / All you've been through ain't in vain / Come on, baby, make it rain down shattered glass."
It's here the singer opens his heart, showing a vulnerable color that painted so many of his previous albums. One finds less of it on 'Moonshine in the Trunk,' a party album that aims to make you feel good at the end of the day.
Key Tracks: 'High Life,' 'Shattered Glass,' 'Perfect Storm'
The Leak: While some will always wonder if Paisley's album leak was truly against his label's wishes, it's easy to understand why he did it. After 'Accidental Racist' was leaked and turned on its head, the singer says he wanted to be sure he was in charge of the presentation of this album.
Did You Know?: That's Emmylou Harris singing along with Paisley on 'Gone Green.' It was written by longtime Paisley bass player Kenny Lewis.

Caregiver charged with forging $3,500 in checks from elderly woman
Kyle Barnett - Jul 12, 2012
A St. Rose woman was arrested for allegedly stealing checks from an elderly woman and cashing them.
Leslie R. Zeringue, 40, was arrested on July 3 and charged with felony theft of assets of an aged or disabled person.
Zeringue was providing caregiver services through a home health agency to the 87-year-old when she gained access to the womans checkbook and eventually forged $3,453.26 worth of checks to herself.
Capt. Pat Yoes, public information officer with the Sheriffs Office, said the victims family alerted authorities once they realized money was missing from the womans account along with the checks.
"They discovered multiple checks were written and cashed by Zeringue," Yoes said.
Yoes said Zeringue admitted to stealing the checks and cashing them at the bank.
Zeringue faces up to ten years in jail and a $3,000 fine for the crime.

VMware Acquires SpringSource
Virtualization provider VMware has purchased open source firm SpringSource for $420 million.
In May, SpringSource had itself bought Hyperic, the company behind the monitoring software by the same name. SpringSource and VMware release their software under open source licensing, albeit VMware not always in the most generous spirit. Nonetheless, the acquisition should not change the underlying open source strategy. According to VMWare's announcement, "VMware plans to continue to support the principles that have made SpringSource solutions popular: the interoperability of SpringSource software with a wide variety of middleware software, and the open source model that is important to the developer community."
The purchase will cost VMware about $362 million in cash and $58 million in stocks and options. SpringSource stockholders have already approved and the deal should close in the third quarter of 2009.
Strategically VMware wants to use the acquisition to broaden its presence in cloud computing, where computing resources are pulled from the Web instead of being processed locally. The rather nebulous concept still gets weight in their announcement as one of their goals to "deliver compelling new solutions that enable companies to more efficiently build, run and manage applications within both internal and external cloud architectures."
For productization, VMware has already chosen a partner in Siemens IT Solutions and Services. According to their joint announcement, the two partners will try to convince their customers of the blessings of cloud computing.
Experts believe that VMware, an EMC affiliate, has come under pressure in the virtualization realm ever since Microsoft released its Hyper-V drivers under General Public License. VMware, which had experienced a revenue explosion in 2008, was beginnning to show a slowdown in Q2 of 2009.

Different types of compression springsSprings as we all know are elastic objects that can store mechanical energy in it and can also consequently release it when required. Now springs can be classified into many types, depending on the properties that each spring possesses. One such property on the basis of which springs are classified is the load that each spring carries. On the basis of the load that each spring can carry, springs can be divided into three types, which are tension spring also known as extension spring, torsion spring and lastly compression spring. So you should have some idea about the different types of compression springs.
About compression springs
Let us deal on the various types of compression springs. But before we start explaining its types you should at first know what a compression spring is. The name compression springs it self suggest that it is a spring that can be compressed. But when dealt in details it refers to a spring which is designed in such a way, that whenever any form of compressive load is applied on the these springs, the springs gets reduced in its size. Generally by compression springs we usually refer to the coil compression springs but that does not mean that all compression springs are coil compression springs. In fact there are many other types of springs and even certain other objects which resemble a spring that can be used as compression springs in certain special cases and applications.

Transport operator Asciano says the wharf dispute will cut its full year earnings by as much as $4 million.
Asciano said that the maritime dispute, affecting its Brisbane, Sydney and Fremantle container terminals, also would cut its revenue by up to $8 million.
"Previous guidance given in Asciano's March Operating Quarter Update... indicated that full year EBIT (earnings before interest and tax) was expected to be in the range of $530-540 million," ASciano said in a statement.
"These estimates did not include the effects of any worsening or material prolongation of the (Maritime Union of Australia's) industrial disputation from that point in time as those effects were unknown at that time.
"Asciano now believes that the estimated financial impact associated with the current industrial activity in Asciano's Brisbane, Sydney and Fremantle container terminals will be a reduction in revenue of up to $8 million and a reduction in EBIT of up to $4 million.
"This reduction is to Asciano's previous guidance."

The Touch Felt 'Round The World
Yesterday, at a reception at Buckingham Palace for the G20 summit, the Obamas met Queen Elizabeth, and Michelle did the unthinkable: She touched the Queen. This seems pretty innocuous, however, apparently it's a big deal. Well, at least to some people.
When you meet royalty there is certain protocol that, while not set in stone, is nearly always followed. In the Time article "The Queen and Mrs. Obama: A Breach in Protocol," Howard Chua-Eoan considers whether Obama was too friendly for British standards when she put her hand around the Queen's back in a sort of half-hug. Chua-Eoan writes that one defense for Michelle's behavior is that she isn't a subject of the Queen, so she doesn't have to curtsy before her.
The UK's Guardian also took up the subject, saying that over the years, some of the protocol prohibiting physical contact with the queen has softened: "The Queen is widely regarded as formal, but close observers point out that a number of traditional rules for dealing with the monarch have been relaxed in recent times. Bowing, for example, is no longer required."
The Times, another British paper, went as far to say that the American media is making a bigger deal out of the whole ordeal than it deserves. A spokeswoman for the queen told the paper that, "This was a mutual and spontaneous display of affection and appreciation between The Queen and Michelle Obama."
So, it seems that no one needs to worry about whether Michelle was correctly briefed on the "rules" for meeting the Queen. If you're polite and charming, even the Queen of England will warm to you.

Choosing a treatment may seem like a decision that your doctor should

You will want to talk to your doctor about angioplasty
before you have a coronary angiogram (also called cardiac catheterization). During that test, you will not be able
to take part in the decision about angioplasty, because you will be sleepy from

Mack Gives Back
Honoring those who serve by serving others
Reverend Raymond Dlugos, O.S.A., and the Division of Mission and Student Affairs established a day of service called Mack Gives Back Day. This community-wide event takes place each November as a way to commemorate two days of great importance in the College's history: Veterans Day and St. Augustine's birthday. Merrimack was founded in 1947 by the Order of St. Augustine to provide educational opportunities to local soldiers returning home from World War II so it is a fitting tradition that Mack Gives Back Day is "honoring those who have served by serving others."
Mack Gives Back 2016 reached farther and wider than ever before as our buses full of Warriors went to service locations such as IMEC in North Andover, Food for Children in Manchester, The Wish Project in Lowell, Emmaus House in Haverhill, Challenge Unlimited at Ironstone Farm in Andover, as well as the YMCA of Lowell, Bellevue Cemetery, Evergreen Cemetery, and Project Home Again in Lawrence. The Boston, Andover, North Andover, Lawrence, Middleton, Haverhill, North Reading, Salem, and Manchester Departments of Public Works also enlisted the help of MGB volunteers to make our local and nearby communities more livable and enjoyable for all.
Here's a recap of Mack Gives Back day in 2015:
Be a part of the tradition!

The second major piece of evidence is in on how the 2 percentage point increase in payroll taxes that went into effect January 1 affected consumer behavior. And the results are: Eh, not so much.
Retail sales rose 0.1 percent in January, the Commerce Department said Wednesday morning, which is what analysts had expected and the third consecutive month of gains. Excluding volatile autos and gasoline, sales rose 0.2 percent. The strongest gains were in general merchandise (think Wal-Mart and Target) and department stores, which were up 1.1 and 1 percent, respectively.
While the results are hardly evidence of a new surge of spending by American consumers, there is some consolation in the fact that Americans didn't react to a fall in their after-tax paychecks by panicking and pulling back on spending abruptly. Combined with decent job creation numbers to start the year and other data on business activity, the economy seems to be holding up OK in 2013 despite the tax increases implemented as part of a deal to resolve the "fiscal cliff" at the end of 2012.
A temporary two percentage point reduction in payroll taxes first implemented at the start of 2011 was allowed to expire, meaning most workers' paychecks fell by that much. And income tax rates for households making over $450,000 increased permanently as part of the fiscal cliff deal.
At the same time, just because spending didn't collapse immediately in the wake of the tax increases doesn't mean consumers are in the clear. The tax increases will decrease disposable income throughout 2013 and beyond, which could put pressure on their spending levels. At the same time, though, rising stock market and home values could give spending a boost through "wealth effects." The question economists are wrestling with is which force will prove stronger.
And economists note that the 0.1 percent gain in January retail sales, while still positive, is a deceleration from stronger gains in November and December. "This represents a clear slowdown in underlying spending growth relative to 0.7% gains in both November and December and provides one of the first indications of how the tax increases enacted under the fiscal cliff deal may impinge consumer spending," said Peter Newland, an economist at Barclays Capital, in a report.

Melanie Brown is reported planning to marry her film producer boyfriend Stephen Belafonte.
The case is closed and Melanie Brown is moving on with her life. The former Spice Girl has moved on from her ex-boyfriend and father of daughter Angel Iris, Eddie Murphy, and is planning to walk down the aisle with her new boyfriend Stephen Belafonte.
Brown split from Murphy last year and has since then begun dating film producer Belafonte. "He's the love of my life and I am going to marry him," the Scary Spice said in a statement, adding that "Stephen's been a godsend. Eddie hasn't been in touch once since I had the baby--it's unbelievable. But Stephen has been a tower of strength."
No wedding date has been set just yet. Nor it is confirmed that Belafonte already popped the question. Despite all, Brown seems more than ready to settle down, once again, and hopefully this one will last forever.

kristin_ka691740wrote a review of Patagonia Classic Retro-X Fleece Jacket - Women's on March 24, 2010
Great indoor-outdoor Jacket.
If you are looking for a jacket that is comfortable enough to wear in a cold office (etc), but warm enough to wear aout on chilly days... this is it!
I really like the 'slim' fit... it is plenty roomy, but flattering. I got a M, (I'm 5'-5", 120-125lbs), and it looks slim, and i can layer a vest under or wear a suit jacket underneath.
It is windproof... really.
My only slight dissapointments are that the inside is a different finish (not fuzzy like the outside), so it is a little stiffer than some other fleece jackets, and is more comfortable with a long-sleeve or sweater underneath. Also, the different matierial along the sides and underarms makes a 'woosh' sound... but it seems that this matierial is there because the fuzzy could ball up... so I guess it is justified.
Overall it is a great jacket. Comfy for cold-weather, and you can layer UNDER it- unlike many other fleeces. I take it to work with me everyday to wear in the office in case I am cold, and to wear when I go out in the field in the cold fog and icky winter weather.... it is great for both!

If you are looking to enhance your web application using AJAX to provide a more fluid user experience, but you don't know where to start, you might want to start here... using code-behind page methods right in your client script.
This article is going to discuss a 'real world' scenario where you might use ASP.NET AJAX to call methods on your page. The scenario is that of a "contact us" page. Most contact us pages follow a similar format: 1) display a form for the user to fill out, 2) validate that form against whatever requirements you might have and 3) display a "thank you" message to the user letting them know that you have received the message.
There are some annoying problems that come up with implementing this functionality though. One of the most annoying issues is if the user presses "refresh" and accidentally re-posts the inquiry again. So a lot of people will do a redirect when the user posts the form, but that has its own issues. Do you make another page just to say 'thank you'? Do you redirect to the same page with a query string parameter? Why are we posting the entire page and reloading all the HTML, CSS, images etc. just to provide a little functionality?
Those are all good questions, and the answer is: just don't do it. With ASP.NET AJAX you can eliminate all of those bad flaws of the web and provide even faster and snappier experience for the user. Here's how it's done:
With a little bit of styling, the above markup would look like this:
As was discussed in a previous article, you could create a web service that would take the user's input and send the email out. But really, it would be a bit of overkill in this scenario seeing as the functionality needed is specific to this page alone. So what we are going to do is create a method on our page and then tell ASP.NET that this function should be accessible to our AJAX code.
Normally I wouldn't include the entire C# code for the page, but I wanted to do it this time to prove a point. There is very little code needed to get this working. Notice I've only needed to include the System.Web.Services namespace, and that was only to get the WebMethod attribute on my method that I want to expose to AJAX. You might want to also note that the method has to be public and static (or "Shared" in VB.NET).
You might also be wondering why I chose to throw an exception if the user didn't supply some data. That's because ASP.NET AJAX will serialize even my exceptions and report them back to me. This is how I'm going to handle my validation and error trapping. Those errors would look something like this:
Now lets look at the JavaScript code that is going to bring this all together. Make sure you notice that I'm going to call the function "PageMethods.SendForm". That code is automatically built by ASP.NET when we added that "WebMethod" attribute to our public static method in our code-behind. Here is the JavaScript code:
So as you would imagine, if the user entered data in all three fields, they would see this when they click the 'Send' button:
I hope this article has inspired you to look into how you can "mash up" your site with ASP.NET AJAX. It's really easy to use, and Microsoft provides a lot of the functionality for you already.
In the next ASP.NET AJAX article, we are going to see how you can tap into the Membership / Profile API directly in ASP.NET AJAX.
Wow this is a great example for beginners, easy to understand both logic and objective of the article. I rate this 9. Keep up!!
this method return authentication failed. you have any idea about that why it is giving error.
How can one implement this when your
<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager" runat="server" EnablePageMethods="true" />
tag is on the masterpage? When I move it to the master page I dont get errors but the method fires and then it's as if the page load fires again. Which clear's all the input boxes.
Any Ideas?

ACT Brumbies held off the resurgent New South Wales Waratahs with a rugged defensive display to run out 28-23 winners in a tight Super Rugby encounter in Canberra on Saturday.
The Brumbies, losing finalists last year, scored tries through scrumhalf Nic White, fullback Jesse Mogg and Tevita Kuridrani and put huge pressure on the Waratahs midfield to blunt their much vaunted backline.
Waratahs dangerman Israel Folau was kept quiet for all but one break in each half - the second resulting in the fullback's sixth try in three matches this season which, when converted, cut the deficit to two points with seven minutes remaining.
Despite spending much of the last 20 minutes with only 14 men after a string of infringements at the breakdown, the Brumbies held on for victory with White adding a late flourish through a long-range penalty a minute from the hooter. – Reuters

As the saying goes, Sharing is Caring, but in the new sharing economy, you can also make money by sharing your home, car, and more.
Sharing for money is a great way to get some extra cash, and you can also save money if you are willing to share more of your life with other people.
Check out this article for a variety of resources and ways to make extra income by renting out your stuff.
Rent Your Extra Room
If you have an extra room in your home or even a vacant couch, you can rent it out to travelers who are looking for a place to crash.
Airbnb can help you rent out unused space in your house for some extra cash.
This can be especially lucrative if you live in a prime tourist destination where many people want to visit.
Of course, you'll have to deal with having strangers in your house, but if you're the adventurous type and like meeting new people, this may be the perfect way to make new friends as well as some extra money.
Sign up through the Airbnb Referral Program to earn some bonus credits as well.
Rent Your Car
If you don't use your car that often or you have an extra vehicle that just sits in the garage, you can rent your car out for money.
RelayRides connects renters and owners for person-to-person car rentals.
It's easy to list your car online, and you're in charge of who gets to rent your car, so you aren't required to rent to anybody that you don't trust.
You can meet the renter to hand them your keys and check their driver's license before letting them get behind the wheel.
RelayRides provides their own insurance to keep your car safe, and they'll also handle billing and roadside support for you.
Sign up through the RelayRides Referral Program to get extra driving credits toward your future rentals.
Loan Your Money
If you have extra money sitting in an Online Bank earning a measly 1% APY, then consider loaning out your money to earn higher interest rates.
Person-to-person lending networks like Lending Club and Prosper bring together borrowers and lenders for mutually beneficial loans.
Lenders can get higher interest rates than they would by letting their funds sit in a standard bank account, and borrowers can get lower interest rates on loans that they often couldn't get from traditional lending institutions.
You can participate with as little an investment as you like, and you can choose your borrowers for the risk that you are willing to take.
Learn more about Peer Lending Networks to increase your interest rates on your savings.
How To Participate in the Sharing Economy
These are just a few ways to profit through sharing, but you can also save a ton of money when you share resources directly with strangers.
Check out Sharable's Guide to Sharing for a comprehensive list of ways that you can share your life and save money.
They'll show you how to save money when you share food, housing, child care, transportation, work, travel, education, and much more.
Start participating in the sharing economy to save money in your everyday life, plus earn some extra income when you rent out your stuff.

I suppose we could scale this by adding more nodes in > the data centre. An alternative would be to create peer-to-peer replication rings from your edge nodes with a limited set of replication 'uplinks' to the data center: draw nodes in an even ring, connect each node to its adjacent peer to make a circle, connect each node to the node opposite it in the ring, connect a set of nodes relative to the size of the ring to the data center. If a set of nodes die, each node should still have an intra-ring path to each remaining node, and as long as there's still one uplink remaining replication from the data center will continue. You could even connect the rings to one another and have the data center merely be another node on one of the rings. This way configuration complexity and burden at the edge is traded for egress replication burden from the data center. -Isaac
