AUSTIN {AP} In raising $41 million in two campaigns for Texas governor, George W. Bush collected nearly one out of every four dollars from just 207 donors, according to a new study of the Republican's 1994 and 1998 races.
Those 207 largely business-oriented donors gave at least $25,000 apiece, accounting for $10 million about 24 percent of his fund-raising total. Another 513 donors gave Bush between $10,000 and $25,000, adding $6.7 million to his total.
"It's a lot of money from a very small handful of folks," said Craig McDonald, director of Texans for Public Justice.
"Bush is very dependent on large, corporate donors who move a large bunch of money. Bush is the candidate of the Lear Jet set, not the minivan crowd, and people need to know that," McDonald said.
Responding, Bush spokesman Scott McClellan said Bush's record in Texas and his big re-election victory margin speak for themselves. Bush doesn't grant favors to campaign contributors, he said.
"Texans know that Governor Bush has received broad-based support from people of all walks of life across the state for his agenda of improving public schools and cutting taxes," McClellan said.

Consular Processing
The DOS has recently announced that it will start a pilot program involving persons applying for an immigrant visa at the U.S. consulates in Cd. Juarez, Mexico (CDJ) and Montreal, Canada. The National Visa Center will be conducting its standard review of the forms and documents submitted by the applicant, including a review of the affidavit of support, civil documents, and police certificates. If a case file is incomplete or lacks proper documentation, the NVC will send a checklist to the petitioner or designated agent indicating what changes are needed.

Photographer's Note
I could not resist posting the second "good" picture of what I have called "Sea butterfly", this small traditonal Briton sailing boat encountered on board of La Belle Poule at the entrance of the Atlantic. The picture is uncropped. On this lateral view (the boat has turned to the starboard side), the bright colors of the sails remain, but since the boat has changed course and is now going further from us, she looks even smaller on the Ocean, as our friend Pastadog mentionned in his critic. Sorry to abuse of your good will by chosing the same subject.
[PS Elements, Neatimage]
Je n'ai pas pu résister à poster l'autre "bonne photo" de celui que j'ai appelé "Sea butterfly (papillon de mer", ce petit voilier breton traditionnel rencontré à bord de la Belle Poule à l'entrée de l'Atlantique. La photo n'est pas recoupée. Dans cette vue latérale (le bateau a viré de bord sur tribord), restent les couleurs des voiles et comme le bateau a changé de cap et s'éloigne de nous, il a l'air encore plus petit sur l'Océan, comme l'a fait remarqué notre ami Pastadog dans sa critique. Désolé d'abuser de votre bonne volonté en postant le même sujet.

Hej Emmanuel,
The colours of this ship look great against the blue of sea and sky. The placement of the ship in the shot is good too and it's nice there's so much space around it. Well done!
zeca (19762) 2006-05-30 1:51
Yes it is: very good photo, indeed! The boat is so nice in shape and colours! I think you was just wishing to get closest to take some 100 pictures, don´t you? Well done! The contrast of this red sail is wonderful and I can imagine how happy you was watching it.
pastadog (13111) 2006-05-30 2:35
Bonjour Emmanuelle, maybe the boat looks a bit smaller here, I had to check since it's not so evident or significant difference in overall impact. IMO the main difference between the two shots is in the colors of the sails, in addition to the faded red and orange, we have also yellow and white here, so probably the preference is based on taste. Regards, Daniel

Your caption is very apt. Wonderful image with the colours contrasting superbly. I like the space in the photo..lots of water & sky. Excellent!

Best Regards

Hi Emmanuel
Another pleasant shot from your archives. I particularly like the little extra boat in the scene. The ripples of the sea are also impressive too as they add some dynamism to the shot. Nice work.

First stop: Las Vegas. That's where Team USA will oil their hinges and warm up for the World Basketball Festival in Paris en route to the Olympic Games in London. As Team USA sets forth on the 'Road To The Gold', Jordan Brand will follow along with the Jordan Brand 'RTTG' capsule, which includes this great colorway of the Air Jordan 1; if you can remember, an 'Olympic' Air Jordan 1 inspired by the Air Jordan VII 'Olympic' has already been done, but this version remixes those colors while adding the slick interior Vegas-inspired lining. Betting on Team USA to win the Gold isn't a gamble at all, and neither will copping any of the RTTG releases, so check out the Air Jordan 1 below and look out for these next Saturday. Photos: gallery

So it's Sunday, and I always read the comics on Sunday, and I was wondering: Does anyone actually ever bother to read Prince Valiant?
So it's Sunday, and I always read the comics on Sunday, and I was wondering: Does anyone actually ever bother to read Prince Valiant?
I used to, but I've realized that it's impossible to keep track of, since it's been going for something like 500 years, and I don't know any of the characters. Also, it always seems to end on a cliffhanger, which is remarkable for a comic with no action.
What I want to know is, who reads the "serious" comics, like Rex Morgan MD and Mary Worth and all those crappy ones. I mean, jesus, soap operas are on pretty much constantly; they don't have to take up space that would be better given to Get Fuzzy or another copy of Get Fuzzy.
Ha ha. Get Fuzzy is awesome. Cathy is another one that gets on my nerves. We don't get Rex Morgan MD in our town anymore...
>Does anyone actually ever bother to read Prince Valiant?
No, but I have a good reason. Our newspaper doesn't print Prince Valiant.
My best code is written with the delete key.
Cathy is annoying. Denice the Menace is cute, I guess, but it's not really funny. Same with Marmaduke and Family Circus.
Bizzaro, Non Sequitur, and Dilbert are awesome.
what ever happened to the tv show, i use to get drunk and watch that, i guess thats why i cant remember why it's not on anymoreDilbert
I think it ran for like 2 seasons and was canned. The episodes are still on Comedy Central from time to time.
I thought get fuzzy was a little lame the past couple of days, but still one of the better comics out there. Pearls before swine is good sometimes too.
Can't forget Foxtrot.
The word rap as it applies to music is the result of a peculiar phonological rule which has stripped the word of its initial voiceless velar stop.
Yeah, the Dilbert cartoon was horrible, I don't think it even made it two seasons.
Comics that need to be put out of their misery because they stopped being funny a LONG time ago (if they ever were to begin with!):
Garfield, Beetle Bailey, Cathy, Wizard of Id, Dennis the Menace, Family Circle, For Better or Worse
Garfield is still a funny classic cartoonComics that need to be put out of their misery because they stopped being funny a LONG time ago (if they ever were to begin with!):
Garfield, Beetle Bailey, Cathy, Wizard of Id, Dennis the Menace, Family Circle, For Better or Worse
Beetle Bailey is pretty dang good and surprisingly close to reality sometimes
Cathy - I'll give you this one
Wizard of Id is again a classic one that is humorous most of the time
Deenis - meh
Family Circle was never suppose to be funny. It is suppose to be wholesome
For Better or Worse is again another comic that isn't suppose to be funny. Its suppose to be wholesome and provide a way for you to connect with the characters (and the author's) life.
Some of my favorites (no particular order):
Get Fuzzy: not always funny and sometimes goes over the dumb edge but 99% of the time is good for a chuckle.
Mutts: That cat is great
Baby Blues: God I hope I never actually get like them but its funny.
Rose is Rose: A really cute comic that is fun to read and makes the day a little lighter sometimes.
Hagar the Horrible: A viking comic, whats not to love.
Fox Trot: No need to explain
Dilbert: No need to explain
Bizaaro: A decent replacement to Far Side
Non Sequitur: More often then not its good for an unexpected joke.
What gets me is Doonesbury and The Boondocks being in with the comics instead of the political page. I read them both everyday and enjoy them even if they are usally going against my political views.

Pearls before Swine
Get Fuzzy
The Piranha Club
Non Sequitor
I'm usually amused by these. As an added bonus we get Outland on sunday.
Foxtrot I read on a daily basis online, the others I read if I happen to be lucky enough to get a paper that day.
I REALLY miss Far Side and Calvin & Hobbes though.
Dilbert is the only thing that keeps me from going insane at work.
I did read Prince Valiant. As Comic books. I still have them, some 60 comics and it's not complete. Great stuff. I still read them once in a while when I'm sick. Why ? It's easy stuff. It's pictures mostly and I already know the story by heart. The best thing ever for those days that you feel like I am sillyI am sillyI am sillyI am silly and reading a book or starring at a screen is just unbearable.
She was so Blonde, she spent 20 minutes looking at the orange juice can because it said "Concentrate."
When in doubt, read the FAQ.
Then ask a smart question.
My paper moved Doonesbury to the Opinion page a while ago, and added another conservative comic to go along with it (can't really think of it's name right now). I think it makes more sense that way, really. The other comic can be funny sometimes, but I think it goes far too often for the "lol liberals r radical!" punch line. Like when they had the dog (two main characters are a liberal dog and a little conservative girl) trying to marry the little girlOriginally Posted by Thantos

Holy Men of God Spake As They Were Moved by the Holy Ghost
By Sammy Tabuena (2016)
2 Peter 1:21 (KJV) For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
The Holy Spirit of God moved the holy men of God to write the Holy Word of God.
In some of the modern versions, the word "moved" was removed and changed to "carried along":
2 Peter 1:21 (NIV 2011) For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
2 Peter 1:21 (ESV 2001) For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
To "carry along" could mean "to persuade or affect", "to transport something while moving along", or "to keep handy at all times". But this is kind of synonymous to being "drifted" aimlessly, like a log being transported along by a flood to wherever or to nowhere.
In 2 Peter 1:21, the King James Bible does not even say that God's holy men were "moved along" by the Holy Ghost. It says that they were "moved by the Holy Ghost", implying a purposeful, intentional, influencing and directing to write the Holy Scripture.
Deuteronomy 4:2 (KJV) Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
The "diminishing" of the Biblical statement "moved by the Holy Ghost" into merely "carried along by the Holy Spirit" not only lessens the meaning of inspiration but blurs the "divers manners" (Heb. 1:1) that God revealed His Word and how it was "given by inspiration of God" (2 Tim. 3:16). When God "moved" His holy men to write the Scriptures, he not only purposefully influenced and directed them to write them, but he actually carried and transported them to another place and time.
Comparing Scripture with Scripture (1 Cor. 2:13), let us see how "holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost".
Example #1. Prophet Ezekiel
Ezekiel 1:1 (KJV) Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
Ezekiel 1:3 (KJV) The word of the LORD came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the LORD was there upon him.
Ezekiel 1:28 (KJV) As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.
"The hand of the LORD was there upon him", and Ezekiel saw the "visions of God" and heard "a voice of one that spake". That is how the Lord "moved" Ezekiel.
Ezekiel 2:1 (KJV) And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee.
2 And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me.
Now, that is being "moved by the Holy Ghost". The Holy Spirit entered into Ezekiel and made him stand on his feet (moved from the ground and up on his feet) and spoke to him. Notice that the Holy Ghost spoke to the prophet while He is inside of him!
Ezekiel 3:12 (KJV) Then the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a great rushing, saying, Blessed be the glory of the LORD from his place.
13 I heard also the noise of the wings of the living creatures that touched one another, and the noise of the wheels over against them, and a noise of a great rushing.
14 So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the LORD was strong upon me.
15 Then I came to them of the captivity at Telabib, that dwelt by the river of Chebar, and I sat where they sat, and remained there astonished among them seven days.
Again, this is how Ezekiel was "moved by the Holy Ghost" ("spirit", Ezek. 3:12, 14). The "hand of the LORD was strong" enough to take him up, lift him up, and took him away to Telabib, by the river of Chebar, so the prophet "sat where they sat". The "hand of the LORD" (Ezekiel 1:3; 3:14) then is not just figurative at all; it is literal as well.
Ezekiel 8:3 (KJV) And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock of mine head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy.
The Holy Ghost must have "moved" Ezekiel by "influencing" him to speak and write prophecy, but, yes, the Holy Ghost did also "move" the holy man, using "the form of an hand" and took him up by the hair of his head. How did the Spirit move the prophet? "The spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven", Ezekiel says.
Ezekiel 8:6 (KJV) He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations.
7 And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall.
Well it's clear that the Lord "moved" (2 Pet. 1:21) and "brought" (Ezek. 8:7) him to the door of the court, so that he wrote about what he had seen there.
Ezekiel 11:1 (KJV) Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the LORD'S house, which looketh eastward: and behold at the door of the gate five and twenty men; among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.
The holy man of God was moved, or "lifted" up and "brought", by the Spirit to the east gate of the LORD's house.
Example #2. Prophet John
Revelation 1:10 (KJV) I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
In the context of prophecy, being "in the Spirit" is to be "carried away" from one place to another place and from one time to another time.
John was "moved by the Holy Ghost" just Ezekiel was. That means he was carried away "in the spirit" (Rev. 17:3; 21:10), just as Ezekiel was "carried out" in the spirit (Eze. 37:1).
I. John was "moved" in the Spirit from one place to another place.
1. He was moved up from Patmos to Paradise.
Revelation 1:9 (KJV) I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
Revelation 4:1 (KJV) After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.
2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
2. He was moved down from heaven to earth.
Revelation 17:3 (KJV) So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
3. He was moved away from the wilderness to a great and high mountain.
Revelation 21:10 (KJV) And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
II. John was moved "in the Spirit" from one time to another time.
Revelation 1:10 (KJV) I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
The Bible does not call Sunday "the Lord's day". God "numbers" days, and even months and years (Job 14:5; 15:20; 38:21). If Revelation 1:10 is a reference to the first day of the week, then God would have said it like he did in:
Matthew 28:1 (KJV) In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
Mark 16:2 (KJV) And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.
Mark 16:9 (KJV) Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.
Luke 24:1 (KJV) Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.
John 20:1 (KJV) The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.
John 20:19 (KJV) Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
Acts 20:7 (KJV) And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.
1 Corinthians 16:2 (KJV) Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.
So according to John, he was "on the Lord's day", not on the "first day of the week", when he wrote the Book of Revelation.
What is the Lord's day?
Isaiah 2:12 (KJV) For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:
Isaiah 13:6 (KJV) Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty. (cf. "the great day of God Almighty", Rev. 16:14)

Lamentations 2:22 (KJV) Thou hast called as in a solemn day my terrors round about, so that in the day of the LORD'S anger none escaped nor remained: those that I have swaddled and brought up hath mine enemy consumed.
Ezekiel 13:5 (KJV) Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD.

Joel 2:31 (KJV) The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.
Joel 3:14 (KJV) Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
Amos 5:18 (KJV) Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.
Amos 5:20 (KJV) Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?
Obadiah 15 (KJV) For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.
Zephaniah 1:7 (KJV) Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord GOD: for the day of the LORD is at hand: for the LORD hath prepared a sacrifice, he hath bid his guests.
Zephaniah 1:8 (KJV) And it shall come to pass in the day of the LORD'S sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king's children, and all such as are clothed with strange apparel.
Zephaniah 1:14 (KJV) The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.
Zephaniah 1:18 (KJV) Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD'S wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.
Zephaniah 2:2 (KJV) Before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD come upon you, before the day of the LORD'S anger come upon you.
Zephaniah 2:3 (KJV) Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD'S anger.
Zechariah 14:1 (KJV) Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
Malachi 4:5 (KJV) Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
Acts 2:20 (KJV) The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:
1 Thessalonians 5:2 (KJV) For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
2 Peter 3:10 (KJV) But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. ("Day of God", 2 Pet. 3:12)
What did John write about? The Book of Revelation describes the seven churches of Asia (ministered to by angels), Heaven, Tribulation period, the Antichrist, the Mystery Babylon, the Second Coming, Armageddon, the Millennial Kingdom, God and Magog, the passing away of the first heaven and the first earth, the Great White Throne, Lake of Fire, New Heaven and New Earth and Eternity. John was there!
He was there in heaven while the Tribulation saints were being martyred on earth.
Revelation 4:2 (KJV) And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
Revelation 6:1 (KJV) 9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
He was there when Israel was persecuted and Mystery Babylon city was judged at the end.
Revelation 17:3 (KJV) So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
He was there in the New Heaven and the New Earth, and he saw the New Jerusalem.
Revelation 21:10 (KJV) And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
And John said, he was "on the Lord's day" when he wrote all these.
That is how God "moved" his prophets to write this book of prophecy. He moved them to that place and time to see and hear, and he moved them to write what they saw and heard.
Revelation 21:5 (KJV) And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
Revelation 22:18 (KJV) For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
2 Peter 1:20 (KJV) Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
All right, they could have been "carried along" or "carried away" with what they had seen and heard, but yes, they were also actually "moved" to there.
Now, who can't be "moved" to write about that?

Lance Armstrong won the Leadville 100 in Colorado in record time yesterday, finishing the nation's highest-altitude mountain bike race on a flat tire.

Wiens had beaten the seven-time Tour de France winner by nearly two minutes last year. But that was before Armstrong began training in earnest for his return to the Tour this year.
Armstrong and Wiens were in a pack of pro racers that broke away early. The race featured 1,400 mostly amateur cyclists and began with snow-crested peaks as a backdrop.
Brad Keselowski swooped past Brian Vickers and Kyle Busch to take the lead in the final turn, then held on to win the Nationwide series race at Michigan International Speedway.
Keselowski took two tires on his final pit stop, then took advantage of a furious battle for the lead between Vickers and Busch on the last lap. Vickers finished second and Busch third.

An Absinthe differs in its level of wormwood, the quality of the production method, recipe, alcohol degree and its origin. Below you will find our Absinthes grouped by these categories. You will also find discounted Absinthe Bulk Packs and extraordinary Absinthe goodies in "Variations".
In this section you will find our strongest Absinthes. These Absinthes are sold as "Bitterspirituose" in the European Union which means that they have a higher wormwood level. When you are looking for the Absinthe effect, choose one of these Absinthe brands.
All Deluxe Absinthes are distilled, which means that they use a very complex and time intensive production method. This guarantees an extraordinary smooth and balanced taste. A simpler production method is maceration.
|without Anise
Welcome to our anise free section. Although authentic Absinthes have to have anise in their recipe, there are "non traditional" Absinthes out there, that skip this ingredient. These Absinthes are for those who do not like the licorice flavor.
Absinthe Variations are more than the ordinary, special and in a way different. They will always be an eyecatcher. We also added some non-Absinthe related spirits, which can add some extra fun and pleasure to life as well.
|Bulk Packs
The bargain zone! Buy your Absinthe bulk, stock up your bar and save some extra bucks.
Here you find a selection of premium Absinthes packaged in the shape of a "cigar". This is the perfect way to sample different Absinthes to find your favorite.

USB Loaders use WBFS file system and MPlayer uses windows based FAT32 (or is it NTFS) file system.
Unless your external drive has 2 partitions it will not pick them up.
And I never had luck with Mplayer with my USB HDD.
I have to use Geexbox to load media from the HDD.
I use Mplayer CE for playing videos over wifi from my PC shares.
and another Mplayer to play off SD.
I have about 4 different media players installed.

A crowd of 70,000 England fans are expected in Schalke 04's home town on Saturday. The Portuguese will be here in one-tenth of those numbers.Let's just hope England will beat Portugal later tonight to advance to the semi-finals and the English fans can continue to puzzle the Germans. In last night matches, Argentina lost to Germany in a penalty shoot out and Italy beat Ukraine. There goes my England-Argentina final.
"Nobody can really tell where they come from, how they arrive in such a short period of time and where they disappear to so quickly," puzzled the Gelsenkirchen police commander at Friday's press conference.

Assault claim against Fox dropped
A US bus driver who claimed she was punched by Matthew Fox has withdrawn her lawsuit against him.
Heather Bormann sued the Lost star in November, seeking 75,000 dollars in damages.
Fox countersued, claiming the woman had assaulted and slandered him. Court records show both suits have now been dropped.
Bormann had said Fox struck her in the breast, groin, arm and legs after she stopped him from boarding a chartered party bus in August 2011 in Cleveland. She says she hit him in self-defence. Fox was in town making a movie and was not charged.
Bormann's former attorney says the woman could not afford to continue the case.
Fox's lawyers referred calls to the actor's spokeswoman, who did not immediately respond to email messages.

That's horrible news. I am on my third Asus Eee already, and very happy with the whole line, but I only ever use them with Ubuntu slapped on them.
Asus asked to decrypt Eee tablet bootloader
Asus' decision to encrypt the bootloader built into its Eee Pad Transformer Prime has prompted prospective punters to petition for the practice to end. Users recently discovered that the Hasbro hated Prime's bootloader is sealed from prying eyes with 128-bit AES encryption - a move that, intentionally or not, prevents owners …
Asus Eeeeeeeee
This is the Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime being discussed, not Asus Eee netbooks.
While Asus could possibly be applauded for descriptive naming, it's possibly gone a little too far.
I'll change my name to I ♡ Barry Shitpeas if this comes to fruition
Enjoy your new name
It's not over 'til the fat lady sings..
or Asus releases the unlock tool in this case.
Seen enough lies in this industry.
Congratulations on your new name ...
Voice of reason
How about virtually every other Android manufacturer that also locks their bootloader?
The original Asus Transformer is also bootloader locked with AES 128bit keys too? (so why this is news is anyone's guess....)
The only notable exceptions are HTC and Sony Ericsson who will unlock your bootloader in exchange for you agreeing to void any warranty you have (which seems a fair deal).
Too much of this probing analysis and people will ask you to change your name!
Not probing enough, just anal
Since he left out the easy to unlock Xoom.
Archos and Motorola and probably more makes do this,that is allow you to un-lock the boot-loader and void the warranty.
Locking serves no purpose
On phones carriers demand it, but the Prime doesn't have mobile broadband.
unlock tool
Asus France announced on twitter that they will release a tool "to unlock the bootloader".
They also promise an official explanation on their facebook page.
It's there already on Asus France FB
Essentially they blame the boot loader lock on Google's DRM requirements for HD video.
Just why Google would demand this while not locking their own Nexus range in such a draconian way remains to be explained.
They also mention the GPS problem and blame that on the aluminium unibody interfering with the signal! Truly genius, Asus.
@Probing Analyst
My Galaxy Nexus came with a locked bootloader. Not encrypted, but it still had to be unlocked (with message informing it *may* void the warranty)
I know that what I meant by "in such a draconian way". Google makes it super easy to lock or unlock and even gives you the tools for it.
Asus on the other hand gives you one locked with a 128 bit key!
My point was, if simple keyless locking is enough for Google and they DRM, why did Asus need more?
They must stop doing this.
If or when I buy something I alone am the sole supporter of that device.
If I am unable to repair something due to proprietary sofware then this lock in feature will just increase the overall cost of owning the device.
Since Locking down the bootloader was done we can only guess that this was not done at all with the customer in mind. Then Asus can charge any phantom rpice they want to come hell or high water.
Is Asus even prepared to support this hardware on such a grandscale?
Just like netflix it seems ASUS management thought its good to lockdown based on over sized ego's.
What are you babbling about.
ASUS obviously can bypass the encryption when necessary so it's irrelevant to the normal running of the device.
Valid bitches are about the ownership of the device and earlier/better OS installs but your maintenance "issue" is completely spurious and is only worth reading for the comedy value.
"it is our right to customise our devices in any way we wish"
It is the manufacturer's right to *design* their devices any way *they* wish, too. Freedom is a two-way street.
Customer support is hard enough without having to cater to any number of unofficial, third-party modifications and changes. Apple are raking in the cash precisely *because* they disagree with this repeatedly disproved "the customer is always right" bullshit. Engineers and nerds may like to tinker with their toys, but 99.999% of punters couldn't give a toss how the magic lantern works.
If you believe there's a huge demand for products designed the way *you* want them, you're more than welcome to go into business for yourself. It's just a bunch of bits in a box with some off-the-shelf software, right? Easy peasy! <CLARKSON>How hard can it be?</CLARKSON>
It's a crying shame nobody's invented a foolproof device that automatically euthanises people with an overdeveloped sense of entitlement. There's a potentially huge market there.
Whot you said. every paragraph.
Saved me a lot of typing there.
Installing third party firmware usually voids your warranty
And including a non-locked bootloader is I believe quite a bit simpler than implementing some kind of security policy for it.
So, your point is...?
The point is the trade off between the expected increase in returns and support costs vs. the the time and effort to produce a locked loader.
Different companies decide on different sides of the line, but I'll only buy from the freedom side.
I think the point was that you can just build one yourself from scratch, not install third party stuff. That's what you Linux gimps like, isn't it? From the high opinion you all express of yourselves, I'm sure you can build something even better with a few soup cans and string if you can't be bothered growing your own silicon and all the rest. Don't like it? Don't buy it, And don't whine. It's childish and tiresome. And the warranty difficulties when self-proclaimed rocket scientists have been dicking about with things have already been raised. Don't try to be smart, either. You're not equipped for it.
@Sean : nicely said. I was thinking along the lines of your third paragraph the minute I saw the headline. You said it more eloquently than I would've, though :)
I'll only buy from the freedom side.
See, /that/ is the correct answer.
Getting all indignant and making out that the manufacturer is doing something wrong by making something you don't like is foolish. Buying something you /do/ like is far more sensible.
It's only whining when its inter-personal
When you tell a company why you aren't buying its products, that's useful feedback and can help the company modify its policies to sell more stuff.
@Robert E A Harvey - If you'll ever find one.
You still don't seem to get it that your freedom doesn't help the vendor make as much money as he pleases.
@P. Lee - Yeah, like for example trying to tell that to Sony
Don't be naive!
If it were a requirement of non-apple devices that the user install their own OS then what you wrote wouldn't be such BS. Apple: homegrown OS not required, 3rd party ROM not allowed. Others: homegrown OS not required, 3rd party ROM allowed.

I attended the Southwest Tourism Conference in Durango last week. The conference brought together folks from the region and representatives from the Colorado Tourism Office (CTO) in Denver. The State of Colorado is serious about enhancing tourism in the state because there is great positive economic impact to be had for communities in Colorado.
According to the CTO, tourism is a $16 billion industry in the state with visitation up in 2012 by 9 percent compared to 2010. With $4.5 million invested by Colorado, the industry generated 141,000 jobs and $879 million in state and local taxes. CTO also reported that for every marketing dollar spent by the State to encourage tourism, visitors typically spend $200.
In marketing Colorado, the CTO uses and tracks a variety of media: print, the web, mobile, social and apps. They have learned that 85 percent of travelers use the web to plan their trips. While many folks have been discounting the importance of print media, CTO has discovered that its use is rising. Historically, print media peaked at 30 to 33 percent but most recently has been on the rise to 49 percent while social media is at 25 percent and mobile resources are at 41 percent. So, it seems there is still a place for print media in the world of marketing.
Colorado Tourism is working to promote three aspects of Colorado life: our culture, heritage and agriculture.

Terrell Newby is in the process of working through in-home visits, then he'll look at some official trips as the West Hills (Calif.) Chaminade running back figures out which school is best for him.
Nebraska recently stopped by for an in-home and that was a good visit for Newby, who had Cal, Washington and Ole Miss in last week and is pretty sure UCLA will stop by this week.
An official visit to UCLA could happen sometime soon - possibly as early as next week - and the Bruins are a serious contender after offering late in the season.
Article Continues Below
"They came to the school with four coaches last week," Newby said. "I really liked the guys. I know they got in the process late but I've known them for a while because they're in my backyard. I'm definitely going there and the official visit could only make it stronger."
Newby, rated as the No. 67 prospect in the 2013 class after a monstrous senior season, said he's also looking at official visits to Cal, Washington and Oregon and those will probably happen in January.
Depending on the Cal coaching situation, Newby will make a determination if and when he'll visit there after someone is hired.
The four-star prospect who moved up to the top-rated running back in California in the latest round of rankings has already visited Nebraska.
"Depending on their coaching situation, I'm not sure what's going to happen there," Newby said of Cal. "If I do take one it would be my last official visit if everything goes OK with them."
In his senior season the West Hills Chaminade prospect rushed for 2,129 yards and 43 touchdowns on 272 carries.

Steelers Bring Back WR Jerricho Cotchery
The Steelers have brought back WR Jerricho Cotchery, as the NY Daily News reports that Pittsburgh and Cotchery have come to terms on a two-year deal.
Last season in 13 games, Cotchery had 16 catches for 237 yards and two touchdowns, including a TD in the playoff loss to the Broncos that got tied the game in the fourth quarter.
The Jets, the team Cotchery played for from 2004-10, talked to the WR, but he decided to stay with the Steelers.
In his career, he has 374 catches for 4,751 yards and 20 TDs.

Report: Steelers Sign Jerricho Cotchery to a two year deal
The Steelers have kept one of their own in bringing back Jerricho Cotchery. Rotoworld is reporting that the Steelers have re-signed Cotchery to a two year deal. This is good news for the Steelers.
The Steelers still have to worry but very little about Mike Wallace's situation. If Wallace were to leave the Steelers would still have 3 good receivers left on the squad. Also with Emmanuel Sanders' injury history it is good to have Cotchery for depth. His veteran pressence in the locker room will help keep these young receivers grounded.
Cotchery had other offers. He visited with the Rams and the Chiefs. The Jets also showed interest in bringing him back to the team. For him to come back as the fourth receiver when he could have gotten more playing time in these other places shows what kind of place Pittsburgh is. These guys know what they mean when they play here. That really sticks out.

Dennis Dixon & Jerricho Cotchery Visit Rams, Daniel Sepulveda Told He Will Not Be Back
Pittsburgh Steelers unrestricted free agents Dennis Dixon and Jerricho Cotchery both worked out for the St. Louis Rams on Wednesday according to a Twitter report by Adam Caplan. Dixon has already made a free agent visit to the Denver Broncos while Cotchery reportedly has visited the Kansas City Chiefs since the start of free agency.
Caplan reports that Dixon was scheduled to throw to Cotchery, who played for new Rams offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer when both were with the New York Jets, during the workout. The Rams are still likely in search of a backup quarterback to Sam Bradford, Read more […]

Jerricho Cotchery will visit with the Rams
The Rams have been mentioned as a possible landing spot for Oklahoma State wide receiver Justin Blackmon in the draft, but they aren't putting all their wide receiver eggs in that basket.

Report: Steelers Free Agent Wide Receiver Jerricho Cotchery To Visit Rams Next Week
Manish Mehta from the New York Daily News reports Friday on Twitter that Pittsburgh Steelers free agent wide reciter Jerricho Cotchery will visit the St. Louis Rams on either Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. Cotchery has a link to the Rams as their new offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer was the New York Jets offensive coordinator during the time that Cotchery played in New York.
Cotchery reportedly has made at least one other free agent visit to the Kansas City Chiefs since the free agency signing period began and the Jets reportedly had some initial interest in him returning to New Read more […]

Steelers Free Agent WR Jerricho Cotchery making a visit to the Rams
Steelers Free Agent Wide Receiver Jerricho Cotchery is making a visit to St. Louis according to Manish Mehta. Cotchery has played for Rams offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer while in New York. Cotchery would give Sam Bradford a good possession receiver. The Rams look like they are headed for a ball control offense after adding Steve Smith to Danny Almendola in the receiving core. Cotchery would fit right in to that situation.
The Steelers are taking more of a risk the longer Cotchery sits on the market. Cotchery has received interest from the Chiefs and Jets as well. Sooner or later Cotchery is going to get tired of waiting even if he does really want to stay with the Steelers. Cotchery is that veteran presence the Steelers want in their locker room to help out the young receivers on the team. Their money situation while trying to keep Mike Wallace may be tight but it would be a big loss for the team to let Cotchery go.

Report: Steelers Want to Bring Back WR Jerricho Cotchery
Pat Kirwan at CBS Sports kicks off the day with note about the Steelers and how they want to bring back WR Jerricho Cotchery. The former Jets WR, who played well down the stretch last season, remains on the free agent market. A market that still also has Mike Wallace on it at the WR spot, despite the fact he's a restricted free agent.
I like what Cotchery did last season, and he could be even more valuable this year with Hines Ward gone. Add Ben Roethlisberger to the list that wants to see Cotchery back in Pittsburgh in 2012.
"Without Hines, I think you have to do everything you can to sign Jerricho back," Roethlisberger said. "He's not only a veteran leader in that room but a really good player. I'd love to see him come back because he's a really good receiver and I like what he brings to the team."
Last season Cotchery had 16 catches for 237 yards with two scores, and a catch for a 31-yard score in the AFC Wild Card game at Denver. If he does come back, and is healthy, I would expect more like the season before in NY, when he had 41 grabs for 433 yards with two scores.

Jerricho Cotchery Hoping For 4 Or 5 Year Deal To Return To Steelers
The Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver that has been in the news the most this past week has of course been Hines Ward. The Steelers have yet to make a decision on Ward returning in 2012 according to Steelers GM Kevin Colbert on Monday and Colbert also added that the Steelers likely will not be able to sign any of their own free agents before March 13th because of salary cap issues. One of their unrestricted free agents that they might be hoping to resign is wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery, who they signed to one-year deal last August.

Steelers WR Jerricho Cotchery Discusses Moving Up Depth Chart
PITTSBURGH (93-7 The FAN) — Steelers Wide Receiver Jerricho Cotchery joined Seibel, Starkey and Miller on Sportsradio 93.7 The FAN to talk about his expanding role on the team.
It has appeared as though Cotchery is replacing Hines Ward in a number of formations, and he told us what that feels like, and how Ward has been there helping him along the entire time.
When asked where he seems himself on the depth chart, Cotchery said he just views himself as another guy trying to help the team win, and Mike Tomlin creates an environment where everyone feels important does what they're asked to.
We also talked about the offense running the no huddle, and how Jerricho enjoys running that form of the offense, and why the Steelers having an elite Quarterback makes it easier to run.
We wrapped things up with Cotchery discussing whether or not the Steelers view themselves as the team to beat in the AFC.

London (UPI) Oct 3, 2010
The oceans hold far more biodiversity than imagined, with as many as a million species, a global network of scientists says in London.
The first Census of Marine Life, which is being published Monday, says almost 250,000 marine species have now been identified, and there may be at least another 750,000 waiting to be discovered, The Sunday Telegraph reported.
More than 2,700 scientists from around the world helped carry out the census in more than 540 expeditions over 10 years. They identified more than 6,000 new species.
The discoveries include a blind lobster with a long, spiny, pincer, which lives 330 yards below the surface in the Philippine Sea, and wriggly creatures nicknamed "squidworms."
British scientists have made many finds in the frigid seas around Antarctica, where marine life grows larger than anywhere else in the world, the report said.
Sea spiders, which rarely grow bigger than a fingernail in British waters, are up to 9 inches across in polar seas.
Huge communities of different species have been found on the cold, lightless ocean floor, living at the mouths of thermal vents and rifts that seep nutrients into the ocean, the report said.

Small print in Government proposals for a new type of pension, which 10 million low-paid people will be forced to join in 2012, strips them of the right to claim compensation if — as many experts fear — it proves bad value.
Details of the new Personal Account — which will ensure everyone has access to a workplace pension — were published in a White Paper yesterday, following last month's proposals to raise the state pension age to 68.
Actuaries and a prominent member of the Government back benches forecast another "pensions mis-selling scandal" similar to that which caused insurers to pay out £14 billion compensation during the past decade.
However, a technicality in the White Paper wording means nobody will be able to complain to the Financial Services Authority (FSA) if they are unhappy with the new pension.
Ros Altmann, a governor of the London School of Economics and a former adviser to the Treasury, said: "Because the new Personal Account is not being defined as a personal pension but as an occupational pension, consumers will have much less protection.
"The FSA will not be able to order compensation for people who lose money through investing in Personal Account. Instead, they could seek redress from the Parliamentary Ombudsman — but the Government has ignored her order that it was guilty of maladministration where 125,000 people lost their occupational pensions."
Experts pointed out that many of the people who will be "auto-enrolled" or required to invest in the new Personal Account, will reduce their entitlement to means-tested benefits by doing so. As a result, they may receive little or no financial gain from saving.
For example, women who have incomplete National Insurance contributions records, perhaps because of taking time off to bring up children, could save up to £25,000 in the Personal Account and not be a penny better off than neighbours who save nothing, as Steve Bee, the head of pensions at Scottish Life, revealed in The Daily Telegraph last month.
The reason is that anyone eligible for state benefits whose annual income exceeds £5,220 is liable to a tax credits clawback and the means test for Pension Credit assumes that all pensioners receive the full basic state pension, although most women do not do so.
Mr Bee challenged John Hutton, the Work and Pensions Secretary, to guarantee yesterday that low-paid savers would not lose money in the Personal Account. Mr Hutton refused to give that assurance and said that all pensions are subject to investment risk.
Nearly a decade ago, the Labour MP Frank Field, was asked by the Government to consider pension reform but was sacked after recommending higher state pensions. He said yesterday that the Personal Account "poses the biggest risk of the mis-selling of pensions for a quarter of a century."
Private sector personal pensions were often sold on the basis of bad advice during the 1980s. Insurers were forced to pay a total of about £14 billion compensation where they could not show savers had benefited from investing in them.
Yesterday, Mr Bee said: "Personal Accounts are likely to prove to be totally unsuitable in many cases and could turn into the next pension mis-selling scandal." Mike Yardley, the chief executive of Royal London, said: "Vulnerable consumers will not have the statutory protection they would have had if the FSA had been able to order compensation where it turns out these new pensions — which are being distributed without advice —deliver nothing of value to them."

HOUSTON — Luis Scola scored 24 points and Kevin Martin added 21 to help the Houston Rockets win their first game of the season with a 120-94 rout of the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday night.
Yao Ming, playing under a strict time limit while recovering from foot surgery, had 13 points and four rebounds in 16 minutes. Shane Battier added 17 points for Houston, which lost its first five games. Minnesota lost for the sixth time in seven games. Kevin Love led the Timberwolves with 16 points and 16 rebounds. Michael Beasley added 15 points
CELTICS 92, THUNDER 83: At Oklahoma City, Ray Allen scored 19 points and Boston's bench helped prevent a big lead from slipping away in the fourth quarter as the Celtics opened a four-game road trip with a win. Glen Davis had three foul line jumpers during a 15-6 push by the Celtics after their 22-point lead had been cut to 73-67 early in the fourth quarter. Allen's 3-pointer from the left wing restored the advantage to 88-71 with 7:04 remaining, and Boston hung on from there. Kevin Durant scored 34 points and Russell Westbrook had 16 points and 10 assists to lead Oklahoma City, which played without third-leading scorer Jeff Green. Green is day to day with a sprained left ankle
SUNS 118, HAWKS 114: At Atlanta, Jason Richardson scored 21 points, Steve Nash added 19 and the Phoenix Suns held off Atlanta's second-half comeback to beat the Hawks, who suffered their first loss of the season. There were four ties in the fourth quarter but the Hawks, who trailed by 18 in the third period, could not take the lead. Nash, who had 15 assists, made four free throws in the final 7 seconds to protect the lead. Joe Johnson had 34 points and Al Horford added 30 — one shy of his career high — for Atlanta. Johnson and Horford each set season scoring highs
76ERS 106, KNICKS 96: At New York, Elton Brand scored 20 points, Lou Williams and Jrue Holiday each had 19, and the 76ers got a win. Evan Turner, the No. 2 pick and last season's college player of the year, added 14 points and 10 rebounds in his first NBA start as the 76ers snapped the Knicks' two-game winning streak. Turner started in place of Andre Iguodala, out with a strained right Achilles' tendon. It was the fourth straight game with 20 or more for the resurgent Brand, his best stretch since late in the 2006-07 season, before he came to Philadelphia. Amare Stoudemire had 21 points and 15 rebounds for the Knicks, who managed just 15 points in the fourth quarter. After consecutive wins, they heard boos as they walked off the floor at 3-3
PISTONS 102, WARRIORS 97: At Auburn Hills, Mich., Richard Hamilton scored 27 points and Rodney Stuckey added 21 points and nine assists to help the Pistons win. The Pistons have now won two straight after losing their first five games of the season. Golden State, which hasn't lost in four home games, is now 0-2 on the road. Charlie Villanueva added 16 points and 10 rebounds off the bench for Detroit, while Tayshaun Prince scored 14. Monta Ellis led Golden State with 24 points and Dorell Wright had 19Comment on this story
LAKERS 121, BLAZERS 96: At Los Angeles, Pau Gasol had 20 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists while completing his fourth career triple-double by the third quarter, as the Lakers easily improved to 7-0 for the fifth time in franchise history.
Lamar Odom had 21 points and 12 rebounds, Kobe Bryant scored 12 points and Ron Artest played stringent defense on Portland star Brandon Roy during a smooth night of work for the Lakers, who led by 24 points in the first half and 29 down the stretch while outrebounding the Blazers 49-25.
Andre Miller scored 20 points and Nicolas Batum added 17 for the Blazers, who lost for just the second time in their last six meetings with the Lakers.

Officials ask if contract votes should be part of public record
The public knows how individual Rock County Board members voted on contracts because they voted in open session.
When the city of Janesville rushed to ratify contracts earlier this year to beat legislation that stripped away most public employee collective bargaining rights, however, no council vote was taken in open or in closed sessions.
Rather, the city manager approved the contracts based on "parameters" set months earlier by council members in closed sessions.
That's how it's been done at City Hall for as long as anyone can remember.
Now, council members are questioning the transparency of the process, and City Manager Eric Levitt, who was hired three years ago, said it makes him uneasy. He doesn't believe it's good public policy.
It also might be illegal.
Media lawyer Bob Dreps said the city's practice is contrary to a 1993 attorney general's opinion.
When he was the state attorney general, Jim Doyle wrote an opinion that governmental bodies can meet in closed session to formulate negotiating strategies, but after a tentative agreement is reached, the body must continue deliberations leading up to ratification in open session.
Councilman Tom McDonald, who is an attorney, agrees that Janesville's method of negotiating violates the spirit and perhaps the letter of the Wisconsin Open Meetings Law.
The law's purpose is to ensure that governmental bodies conduct business in public view, McDonald said.
"Certainly, in terms of the spirit and intent of the law, there's not a lot happening in view of the public," he said.
Statutes allow a governmental body to transfer power of negotiations, McDonald said. In Janesville's case, the city manager has the power, but the transfer must be done in open session, and McDonald has not been able to find proof that was done.
"Maybe it's something that's always been," McDonald said.
Or maybe it's something that happened during the last city manager's tenure, he said.
"But even if there is no policy or ordinance, there should be meeting minutes about a discussion," McDonald said. "At some point, the governing body would have had to convey that authority to a city employee."
If that was not done, the city is violating statutes, he believes.
Regardless, the city violates the spirit of the open meetings law, McDonald said.
Here, the council verbally sets contract parameters in closed session, and the city manager negotiates within those parameters, McDonald said.
The city manager and the negotiating team keep the council advised of progress, McDonald said.
City Attorney Wald Klimczyk told the Gazette that no policy or ordinance regulates the process. It's just the way it's always been.
The city manager updates the council on what's happening in negotiations either verbally or by memo, he said.
The council never votes on the contracts. Rather, the council's vote on the budget authorizes funding for the contracts, Klimczyk said.
Of course, it would be a problem if the council opted not to fund the agreements, and Klimczyk acknowledged that legal challenges likely would follow.
Klimczyk said he is familiar with Doyle's opinion, but he doesn't believe the city violates law.
Janesville has a strong manager form of government, he said.
McDonald believes that no matter the circumstances or violations, the process should be changed.
Contracts "should be approved by the governing body in a public meeting," McDonald said.
"It's all about transparency and open government, what we've been trying to clean up the past four years," he said. "There's still work to be done, and hopefully the new city council will continue that work of a more transparent government."
This past year, not all council members were in favor of finalizing contracts before the new state law took affect, McDonald said.
Former council President George Brunner said that's when he started questioning the process.
The council sets the budget and the tax levy, Brunner said.
"The burden of the responsibility (of settling contracts) should not be placed on the city manager. The manager is a city employee, and the council still has final authority.
"I think under the previous city manager, he was a strong city manager, and I think he took that responsibility," Brunner said.
Union negotiations remain relevant in Janesville despite current law: Three of the four city unions�firefighters, police and transit workers�retain most of their collective bargaining powers.
Levitt will bring the issue to the council for discussion before negotiations begin next year. He will ask the council to consider voting on contracts in open session and perhaps to serve on negotiating teams, similar to how the school board does business.
Union bargaining teams go back to their memberships for approval, and city negotiators should go to the council, Levitt said.
"It was a difficult situation for me this year," Levitt said.
"It is better from a public policy point of view to have the council have the final approval."

Farmers without Fungus: How to store peanuts to reduce toxins
African peanut farmers can slash their exposure to a class of harmful fungal toxins by adopting several simple measures after the harvest, researchers have shown. In many developing countries, the carcinogenic contaminants called aflatoxins are abundant in subsistence crops, including peanuts and cereals.
Peanuts become tainted with aflatoxins during storage under hot, moist conditions that promote fungal growth. Insects feeding on the stored peanuts spread the aflatoxin-producing soil fungi and damage the shells that protect the edible kernels.

Mature skin...do you like that word?
Mature skin…do you like that word?
I hate senior, mature, codger, biddy, old, elderly, etc. Maybe experienced is OK.
I digress. Most old people I know are not mature at all—they whine, write rants like this, and so on.
Cara Hedgepath, USA Today Weekend, writes about how to apply makeup to what's left of our faces.
She quotes Sandy Litner and Lois Joy Johnson, authors of The Makeup Wakeup, on how to slap some warpaint over cracks.
Move your blush to the top of your cheekbones from the apples of your cheeks.
Trade in your base for one that's lighter in texture and tone.
Bag the metallic shadows—stick with a peach or honey.
Stick with dark eyeliner if you use it—black, brown. Forget green, blue and purple.
I use lipstick for blush—I should probably be shot.

The Bianconeri outclassed the Londoners, and are now in pole position to qualify from the group along with Shakhtar Donetsk.
"It's wonderful, like many other victories with Juve, but when you give such a convincing performance – in tactical, physical, psychological terms – it's a great sign for Juve and for Italy," said Buffon.
"Some had doubts on us, but playing like this I think we cast those aside. We have our certainties and know that we still have to qualify. I hope we can do that."
