Our attempt to answer issues which most commonly occur on IGN's wikis.
About This Game
- Summary
- Specifications
- Game Editions
In the battles of Earth's unwritten past, we knew that time was a constant. We knew that time was inevitable. Then the alien threat appeared. Every move they made a perfect counter, every strike executed with preternatural precision. One by one Earth's colonies fell, with only ashes left behind. But humanity learns, humanity adapts. Now we know the truth. The inevitable, the constant, is mere illusion, as fragile as glass. And time... Time is a weapon.
Achron is the first game to feature single-player and multiplayer free-form time travel in a real-time strategy game. You can undo your mistakes, change your strategy after committing to it, preview the future, freeze time to perfectly coordinate attacks, and send entire fleets through time to when they are needed. However, all of your opponents will also be independently moving across time, attempting to rewrite history in their favor...

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Nov. 9 (UPI) -- Sweden is set to reduce the number of troops it has in Afghanistan by the end of 2013, Swedish officials said.
Sweden has 500 troops serving in the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force mission in Afghanistan and plans to reduce that number to 300 by the summer of 2013, Khaama Press reported.
Swedish forces would likely focus on training Afghan forces, Swedish officials said Thursday. They said Sweden planned to increase its civilian aid to Afghanistan and signed an agreement to extend its mission there through the end of 2013.

Miley Cryus is really make sure we know her good girl image is no longer! She has done everything from changing her hair to boozy nights to ripping bongs! Now she really wants the public to know that she is no longer the family friendly girl we once knew. She recently announced that her sex life with Liam is wilder than anything Fifty Shades of Grey has to offer! She went on to say that her and Liam make sure they "fulfil each other's fantasies" and have "Wild Sex" that would make event he characters of Fifty Shades Of Grey blush.
The National Enquierer reported that Miley said …
"There's no holds barred…the sex is wild! Liam fulfills all my fantasies, and I fulfil his."
I do not mind Miley growing up just like any other young adult would however, is there a need for her to talk about it so openly!? I have heard a saying before, something like, the person who talks about it the most is doing it the least. I am not saying that Miley is not doing all these crazy things but she does not need to talk about it so much. I mean being a person in the limelight like herself enough info will get out as it is, does she really need to add fuel to the fire!?

**** Riley, now when LeBron has to contain Lin he will look like an *******.
lmaoo He has the most overrated player ever Lebron James
lol he is over-rated. Turns the ball over far too much, has an unpredictable shot, and his defense is slow (except for quick hands).
He is described as the next messiah, when really he ia just a nice point guard that will be consistent.
He should not be the number 1 offensive option we have melo for that.
The media did a good job of hyping him up and set unrealistic expectations from the fans. This is a crossroads for lin at the moment. He can either realise that a few good games aren't enough to warrant you elite status, work hard, improve on his flaws, and potentially reach the top, or he can just go about thinking that he had an off night, ignore the flaws he has in his game, and remain stagnant. If he's as smart and humble as people are making him out to be, he will be ok. 'tneknicks3' had a partial point in that he always did turn the ball over a lot. This is partly due to severe lack of experience in the big leagues, and playing too many minutes; but also due to his distinctly average handling skills. He will not get away with this against teams like the Bulls and the Heat who practice defence. In fact, now that he is on the NBA map, he may well not get away with it against many other teams. Lin played with 0 IQ last night which, coupled with his already existing flaws made him look like a d-leaguer. It's not a big deal as long as he lifts his head up, continues to work hard, and distances himself from the media fabricated linsanity crap that was deployed so early on.
Usual pre-game talk by the opposition in an attempt to distract the players, nothing unusual.
Only thing that hurts is that we couldn't make him eat his words.
I've NEVER hated an NBA team as much as I hate the Heat since they started this D-Fake, Chris Bitch, Lebum bull****.
I would never be able to attand a Knicks-Heat game, I'd get physically involved and just punch the **** out of Chalmer's bitch face.....
Never seen a more pathetic, polemic and narcisstic group of *******s...I hope they all tear their ACLs......to hell with the Heat!
players have bad games, but only a fool faxes in resignations. and one who wears Armani at that.
image courtesy amareisreal
Lin is still the man. Now he has to play with melo and stat who are lazy and don't play D. Trade them for two bottles of water and we beat the Heat. I'm still riding linsanity and miss the good old days of last week.
The Lin ride has been a lot of fun but you have to judge a guy over the long run. Knick fans might learn something from a guy named Flip Murray.
Flip Murray got to start for the Sonics in 2003 because Ray Allen went down and in his first 6 games scored 20 points or more and even scored 31 his season high in the 9th game. Nate McMillan was asked about him and how hot he was and McMillan said "2 games, you can't judge a guy on 2 games, you have to judge a guy over a couple of years." Nate was right about Flip, he was a journeyman NBA player that never became a star despite that glorious 2003 start.
Well if you consider the amount of media hype and exposure Lin has received then yes he is extremely over rated. He is the NBAs Teebow right now.
Minus the turnovers though yes he is worthy of some hype for what hes done and wher hes come from.. From a player/coaches standpoint hes just another guy in a jersey playing pg for a 500 team so dont expect anyone in the league to hold up a will you marry me Lin sign from the opposing bench
I think lots of star-powered players are error-prone and bad in defense. Lin might just be one of them. Sure he needs to improve his problems with TOs, keep his quick hands for steals and roll around the ball more efficiently. But he is almost like a rookie.... give him some applause and space. His performance has been good enough to satisfy the team with 9 wins out of 12 games, okay?

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Wednesday night's Good Question dealt with the rules of the road when it comes to bikes.
The city of Minneapolis has a great write-up that explains the laws. It's pretty simple, really: Bikes belong on the road, cars need to treat bikes like another vehicle and everyone should signal their intentions.
But many bicyclists don't stop at red lights. They don't signal their intentions.
Many car drivers also do the same thing. But on a percentage basis, I'd argue that a much smaller percentage of cars run red lights.

Technology enhances Final Four court sounds
Published March 19, 2012, Page 6
|Consultant Coffeen Fricke used acoustic noise canceling technology at Reliant Stadium in 2011 to improve the on-court audio.
Final Four acoustics consultant Coffeen Fricke & Associates produces an audio effects feed that picks up the sounds of the game — like the sneakers and nets — and sends them through the stadium's in-house sound system so that they can be heard in the stadium's upper reaches.
"The NCAA is interested in making it feel like a more intimate venue than it actually is," said Stephen Solberg, a senior associate at Coffeen Fricke.
The consultant was also hired in part to provide a high-quality experience for Final Four attendees paying as much as $400 on the primary market to sit on event-level bleachers sloping back from the court, said L.J. Wright, the NCAA's director of championships, alliances and operations.
"We had to do something to get more floor coverage because we were putting fans farther out on the field with prime ticket holders sitting in those seats," Wright said. "The first year, we tried different things with the way we miked the floor and near the goals to pick up sounds."
But attempts to augment on-court sounds at the 2009 Final Four at Detroit's Ford Field backfired, forcing the consultant to shut its feed down halfway through the event. The challenge revolved around echoes that reverberate inside the big stadiums, where loudspeakers hang 40 feet above the court and microphones plugged in at event level capture the sounds of the game.
"It proved to be very distracting for the players, like with free throws when they would bounce the ball a couple times and then a few seconds later, they would hear the ball bouncing again from the sound system," Solberg said. The echoes can also interfere with the public address system and the CBS broadcast.
After the issue arose again at Indianapolis' Lucas Oil Stadium in 2010, Coffeen Fricke tapped into a new technology called acoustic echo canceling, commonly used for teleconference calls in small boardrooms. It identifies two audio signals and separates the first signal from the second one during the same transmission.
The technology enables Coffeen Fricke to broadcast the effects it picks up on the court through microphones shared by CBS and subtract the public address announcer's voice before those sounds go through the loudspeakers. Most important, it eliminates the echoes that can disrupt the broadcast, the public address system and play on the court.
The consultant has used the technology in arenas, but not to the extent that it is used during the Final Four, Solberg said. It was employed at the 2011 Final Four at Reliant Stadium in Houston and will be brought back for next month's Final Four at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans.
Biamp Systems, a Beaverton, Ore., tech firm, provides the technology free to the consultant and the NCAA. It is stored in a small box set up on a desk about 30 yards from the court, plugged into the small mixing console and microphones operated by the consultant.
"When we took this device to Houston last year, it was really an experiment to see if it would work, and it did end up working very well," Solberg said. "CBS was very happy with the end results."
CBS officials declined to comment on the new system.
"The testing of the technology has gotten to the point that we understand it," Wright said. "It's a good product."

text: A nasal spray that contains a synthetic protein developed by researchers at Georgetown University may be effective in reducing the number of latent HIV-infected cells in the body, helping to reduce the HIV viral reservoir that can reseed the body in the absence of antiretroviral treatment, The Wall Street Journal reports. Results from a small human trial showed that the protein, called Peptide T, when administered via a nasal spray used daily, significantly reduced the level of HIV in monocytes, a type of white blood cell that can lie dormant after becoming infected with the virus. Anti-HIV drugs work only against cells with actively replicating virus, allowing latent cells to escape their effects. The peptide did not reduce overall blood-based viral loads in the 11 study patients; only HIV levels in latent monocytes were affected. Frank Ruscetti of the National Cancer Institute, a coauthor of the study, called for larger, placebo-controlled trials to determine if the nasal spray works in a larger cross-section of HIV-positive people.

Updated Monday, Jan. 13, 2014 | 9:22 a.m.
A 40-year-old man walked in to a Metro Police station Friday and admitted killing his wife after a domestic dispute, authorities said.
Richard Magdayo Dahan signed in at the front desk at Metro's Northwest Area Command and waited 20 minutes for his name to be called so that he could confess to killing his wife, 28-year-old Daisy Dahan, police said.
Officers immediately took Dahan into custody and searched his apartment in the 6500 block of Vegas Drive. Once inside, they discovered Dahan's wife of two years dead from multiple stab wounds, police said.
Preliminary investigation revealed that the two had been having marital difficulties, but there was no known history of domestic violence, police said.
Dahan was arrested and booked into Clark County Detention Center on a count of murder.
According to a Metro Police arrest report, the couple married in October 2011 in the Philippines. They lived there for seven months before they moved to Las Vegas and the trouble began, police said.
Dahan reportedly told police that his wife became jealous and demanding. She disliked him seeing an ex-girlfriend, with whom he had two children, and became angry when he gave money to the children, the report said.
At the same time, Dahan said, he received a kidney transplant and lost his job as a chef at Mandalay Bay.
The couple's relationship continued to deteriorate to the point his wife wanted a divorce, the report said. Dahan refused, saying it was unacceptable because his parents had stayed married until his father died. She responded by throwing and breaking things, according to the report.
The relationship reached a boiling point on Friday, when Daisy Dahan asked again for a divorce and wanted Dahan to sign the paperwork, police said. Dahan became angry and stabbed her with multiple knives, according to the arrest report.
He told officers that he felt killing his wife was the only thing left for him to do, according to the report.
This was the first homicide of the new year within Metro's jurisdiction.

A street riot tore through parts of north London's impoverished Tottenham neighborhood last night. Eight officers were hospitalized after a protest against the shooting death of a young man blew up into a full-scale riot— torching a double-decker bus, destroying patrol cars and trashing a shopping mall, the AP reported.
"Looters descended on the area around midnight, setting buildings alight, and piling stolen goods into cars and shopping carts. Sirens could be heard across the capital as authorities rushed reinforcements to the scene."
"This is just a glimpse into the abyss," former Metropolitan Police Commander John O'Connor told Sky News television Sunday. "Someone's pulled the clock back and you can look and see what's beneath the surface. And what with the Olympic Games coming up, this doesn't bode very well for London."
Some 42 people have been arrested, while 26 police officers were injured during the riots. Two remain in hospital. Police were unable to say whether there were fatalities overnight, the Guardian reported today.
Police admitted they "had not anticipated" the violence, the NY Daily News reported, which came in response to the death of 29-year-old Mark Duggan, shot to death by officers on Thursday.
What began as a peaceful vigil for Duggan exploded into city-wide riots when the event was "hijacked by mindless thugs," police told the Guardian.
Some reports suggested an altercation between a female and police may have sparked wider violence. She reportedly threw an object at police and was set upon by policemen with riot shields.
Journalist and Tottenham resident Rizwana Hamid, said Saturday night's violence was reminiscent of a 1985 riot in Tottenham, home to one of London's largest black communities, the AP reported. "The climate has changed, but very little of the issues have gone away," she told the BBC.
She cited desperation, poverty and what she said was a lack of communication from police about the circumstances under which the man was gunned down.
British media said that an officer involved in the shooting had a bullet lodged in his radio, suggesting a gunfight, but Britain's police watchdog is investigating.
Scotland Yard, has struggled for years to cope with a 1999 inquiry into the death of a black British teenager that concluded that the force was "institutionally racist." In 2003, the Black Police Association even went as far as to call on ethnic minorities not to join Scotland Yard, saying discrimination was rife.

Where do you generally put custom shell scripts (security-wise)?
That's it. I've tried various locations in the past, including /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/sbin, usr/local/bin/myscripts, /home/myaccount/bin... I just can't find any place completely satisfying. The point is: I do not want to put custom shell scripts in /home partition because much of these are systemwide admin scripts, and also because I mount my /home filesystem with noexec option following the security considerations. I do find it logical to put those in /usr/local/bin (and some of them in /usr/local/sbin), however I hesitate doing so as it conflicts with the point of mounting /usr partition readonly, and as many programs place their binaries in /usr/local/bin by default, making too much clutter. I assume I could deal with the latter by using a dedicated subdir like /usr/local/bin/scripts or the like (or specifying --prefix=/usr compile-time option to the programs' .configure scripts, albeit doing so possibly conflicts with the FHS), however ad-hoc remounting /usr readwrite whenever I intend to write, test and debug a script (and remounting readonly again when the job is done) simply isn't too feasible a solution, and not much secure either (in my opinion that is). Is there any known commonly agreed-upon practice for the placement of custom shell scripts, that is as much secure and as much distribution-agnostic as possible? I'd like to hear your opinions.
Thanks for your time,
Please note that noexec is not "intended" to be used for security purposes. It does provide a measure of security but does nothing to prevent shell scripts from being run. You can't run them directly but you can just type "sh scriptname" or through another method. There is nothing in place to stop that. What noexec does do is prevent "binaries" from being run and that is a wise thing for the most part.
Traditionally, /usr/local was for local scripts... so /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin would be the right place for them. I recognize your frustration about it being mounted read-only (of course, they don't expect you to be changing these things daily once you move them there... only during testing). You could always mount /usr/local as it's own partition and allow it to be read-write but that's not really a good solution.
As for it being insecure to make /usr +rw for a bit then switch back to -ro ... it's not really that bad. Obviously you want to minimize the time it's writable but the only security implication involved is that no program should "write" to /usr without being told to. The odds are that if a script or local user has the rights to write into /usr, you probably already have a problem. I personally keep it read-only because it does prevent the problem. But even I remount it read-write when doing upgrades or patching programs... it keeps the window of opportunity as small as possible.
The distribution agnostic place would be in /usr/local/{,s}bin and the best idea is to write, test, and debug a script outside that directory and then move it into there. You wouldn't want someone running the script before you were done testing it... so you wouldn't want it in a place where it's in the path of all the users.
I'd use ~/bin for testing and development. And when you're pretty sure it's right... move it to /usr/local. And you can keep /home mounted with noexec (although I honestly have far too many personal scripts and programs to survive with that restriction myself) and just call them with "{interpreter} scriptname" until you're done debugging it.
Edit: Also note... shell scripts are not setuid... so they run with the rights of the user calling them. And no matter where you put them, if users can find them, and they have the rights to execute them, you have to assume they will.
I'd use /usr/local/... or /opt/...
Thanks for your feedback guys. And special thanks to frob23 - your elaborate explanation gave me much insight into what I hadn't gotten quite correctly before, and reminded me of some things I used to know.

Once there was a woman named Joan who had a son called Tom. Tom lived two short years and then departed the body. For thirty years Joan mourned the loss of Tom. This life tragedy did not kill her physically, but emotionally she felt she was mortally wounded.
Time passed. She became pregnant again and gave birth to another son named Paul. Her pain and suffering were so great over the loss of Tom that she was never emotionally available to Paul. When Paul was seventeen he left home and went to live on a mountain by himself. He stayed there ten years.
Joan felt she had lost her second son as well. The pain and suffering had become her whole life.
Then one day Joan went to see a mystic who had a reputation
for seeing beyond the pain and suffering. The mystic could see
the Soul Agreements of Joan, Tom, and Paul. The mystic knew she
had a Soul Agreement
to work with Joan in clearing the pain and suffering that had
consumed Joan's life. The mystic shared the following Soul Agreements
with Joan.
Before Joan came into this present embodiment, she asked to have a series of lessons that would teach her more about Love. Specifically, when she was withholding Love and when she was freely giving Love. Many Souls agreed to assist Joan in these lessons of Love. One such Soul was to be known as Tom when it embodied.
Joan came into embodiment and was imprinted with all the negative and positive characteristics of both her mother and father. As a Soul, Joan chose her parents because of the imprinting she needed from them to prepare herself for the life lessons on Love that were to come.
Joan married and had her first son, Tom. Tom's Soul had made a Soul Agreement with Joan's Soul to embody as her son and teach a lesson on Love. Joan and Tom fell deeply in Love as mothers and sons often do. After two years, Tom had completed his earth-plane teaching. His leaving/dying was the beginning of the next part of his teaching.
Joan had learned to Love another through Tom. But she had not learned to Love herself. So when Tom died/passed over, she was empty inside and outside. Joan had been imprinted by her parents to believe that Love of the other was her sole purpose in life. When the other, Tom, left her life, she was wounded exactly the way she had been wounded in her childhood. She felt rejected, abandoned, utterly alone.
Tom's passing was an opportunity for her to heal the wounding from her childhood, but the pain/suffering/emptiness was so profound, she could not reach out to another for help. She had no Self-Love to draw upon. She was completely empty inside.
The Soul of Tom realized all of this. Even though Tom chose to leave his body and return into the formless, his Love for Joan was unceasing.
Tom's Soul embodied again. This time as Paul. Joan was given another opportunity to learn the lessons of Love with the arrival of Paul. But Joan was empty. Emotionally there had been no healing. She was deeply attached to the old form, Tom, and could not open her Heart to the new form, Paul. Paul was now imprinted with the negative characteristics of Joan. He became filled with pain, suffering, rejection, and abandonment. He felt utterly alone and empty. This was part of his Soul Agreement. To be imprinted by his mother to learn his lessons of Love.
As Joan received the awareness about Soul Agreements from the mystic, she began to go through a profound transformation. She realized that Love never changes, only the form changes. Love is eternal and forever. She realized that Tom's leaving did not affect his eternal Love for her. She realized that she had a Soul Agreement to suffer with a human being's deepest sorrow and pain. She also realized she had a Soul Agreement that after thirty years she would begin her Awakening Process. She would open her Heart to herself. She would begin to Love herself, and thereby create the capacity to Love another, namely Paul.
Joan eventually contacted Paul. He came to see her for a one-day visit. He also met with the mystic that day and had a session with her. During this session his Heart began to open. He stayed two more days and had two more sessions. One month later, he moved back home to be close to Joan. As Joan's energy shifted, so did Paul's. Paul began having his own realizations about who he truly is and why he had come back into embodiment. Joan and Paul now communicate lovingly, honestly, harmlessly, directly, compassionately, truly. They now speak to each other Heart to Heart and Soul to Soul. A deep, real, authentic connection exists between them. The wounds are healing for both of them. Their spiritual muscle is weak. But as they remember more and more about why they are here and the lessons of Love they have come to learn, their spiritual muscles are growing stronger. The next step is for them to keep practicing, to keep remembering: all the pain and suffering, the drama and the emptiness are Wake-Up calls.
Their Soul
Agreements are about Love. Love of Self and Love of the other.
This is a true story.
The drama may change,
the names may change,
but the Love always
remains the same.

text: Bottomland hardwoods at Caddo Lake by Adrian Van Dellen Bottomland hardwood forests are the most biologically productive ecosystems on land (second only to coastal estuaries where fresh and salt water mix). The river itself is the lifeblood of the bottoms, flowing across the floodplain during spring floods and leaving behind soil, seeds from upstream forests, and sediments that become natural fertilizer for plants. These rich moist soils nourish an explosion of diversity. . As the seasonal rains fall, the river grows from its summer trickle to a fast-moving flow that eventually spills over the banks, flowing out into the forest. With every increment up-slope, the amount of time an area is inundated with water varies. And as the amount of standing water and length of inundation varies, so does the vegetation. A change in topography of even a few inches brings different kinds of trees. Seasonal flooding also fills small streams and replenishes tannin-stained backwater sloughs. Shifts in the river create "ox-bow" lakes and inland marshes. Trees that can't withstand the fast water of big moving rivers thrive in these quieter wetlands lost in deep forest. The many vital functions that bottomland hardwood forests, taken together, provide "services" that economists estimate would cost billions of dollars per year to replace. Bottomland forests maintain the water quality of rivers by holding back sediments and filtering pollutants. This temporary retention of nutrients and pollutants allows many wastes to degrade into less harmful forms. Clean water nurtures wildlife, supplies water to communities and farms, and provides the fresh water and nutrients necessary for coastal estuaries that serve as the nurseries for much of ocean life. The forests increase the quantity and quality of groundwater recharge by first holding water, then filtering and releasing it through underlying soil layers. Bottomland forests also slow down flood flows, minimizing erosion by providing dense root systems to bind soil material. East Texas bottomland forests provide other benefits as well. Wood from hardwood trees is used for structural timber and crating, firewood, railroad ties, and pulp for cardboard. Cypress is prized for wood paneling. The bottoms nurture fish, freshwater mussels, birds, and the food and fur-bearing mammals that early settlers depended on as they built modern Texas out of untamed wilderness. Bottomland hardwood forests support at least 273 kinds of birds, 116 species of fish, 31 of amphibians, 54 reptiles, and 45 mammals, supporting a multi-million dollar recreation industry – hunting, fishing, birding, hiking, paddling, photography, biking, and nature tourism. Waterfowl by the thousands take refuge on their long flights from nesting to wintering grounds. Sadly, more than 85% of Texas' original bottomland hardwood forests live only in memory. Never abundant, they've been converted to pasture and pines and drowned by dozens of reservoirs. "Improved" pastures substitute a single species of grass, usually non-native and unpalatable to wildlife, in place of once-diverse habitat. As the number of hardwood trees has declined, hunters and wildlife biologists are seeing impacts to waterfowl populations and other wildlife. If built, new reservoirs proposed in East Texas will inundate hundreds of thousands of additional acres of bottomland hardwood forests. Share this page ...

Cottage Grove's Business Enterprise Center to get its first tenants
For mere pennies on the dollar, local start-up businesses can move into the Business Enterprise Center, formerly the Cottage Grove City Hall, and begin their journey toward entrepreneurial success.
Following the business accelerator model which has become a nationally recognized way of helping small businesses grow, the BEC offers affordable work space and supportive services to aspiring entrepreneurs. Recently, two businesses have taken advantage of the business incubator-style atmosphere and will soon make the BEC their temporary home.
Economic Development Director Danette Parr said area businesses Connex Space and Gophermods have agreed to pay the inexpensive $6 per square foot rent for a chance to substantially grow their businesses.
"We want to foster that entrepreneurial spirit and also grow our business park at the same time," Parr said.
Connex Space is a local start-up that specializes in creating sound-masking materials and office furniture, and Gophermods, which has a location in Minneapolis, specializes in repairing gaming consoles and other electronic devices such as cellphones and tablets.
The current tenants will take up approximately 2,000 square feet of the building and will share what Parr said are common services such as copiers and printers.
The 21,480-square-foot building is meant to facilitate the work of numerous tenants at any given time in an array of office setups such as suites, enclosed or open cubicles, and laboratories. With a 6,000-square-foot garage in the basement of the building, Parr said the city is looking for any businesses that use computer numerical control machines or other specialized machinery.
Another important factor of the program is that the BEC is meant to be a temporary home for the businesses, Parr said. The basis of the program is that with the help of the support services, the business will become successful and graduate to a permanent building somewhere in the community within three years. While stationed in the former city hall, businesses will have access to support services, training events, networking opportunities, and a mentorship program.
"The point of this is not to make money for the city," Parr stressed. "This is a long-term investment that hopefully will create long-term economic development within the city of Cottage Grove. We want to offer these businesses all the help they need because we want them to feel supported so they stay in our community."
Cottage Grove Mayor Myron Bailey shared the mutual hope of wanting the businesses to stay local and is hoping they can move into future developments along the West Point Douglas corridor.
"I think this is a great start and once we get these first two businesses in the door there will only be more," Bailey said. "The city does have property along the corridor and maybe there is the opportunity for them to grow into that area. It's a win- win situation for both the business and the city of Cottage Grove."
The BEC building was vacated last year when city officials moved to the recently constructed, nearly $15 million city hall and public safety building on Ravine Parkway.

Hollywood Now: Chris Pine, Rachel Weisz & Ari Graynor, Plus So Many Babies!By Gerri Miller
New flicks with celebs in interfaith relationships and from interfaith backgrounds, plus their baby news!Go To Pop Culture
November 27, 2012
|Jason Segel and Michelle Williams live together in Brooklyn. [Photo from US Weekly.]
First: the good news about interfaith couple Jason Segel, 32, and Michelle Williams, 32. As I reported in this column in September, the acting duo began a romantic relationship last spring. Williams has long lived in Brooklyn, with her daughter Matilda Ledger, 7, the daughter of the late actor Heath Ledger, Williams' former romantic partner.
I recently learned that a few months ago, Segel, who was born and raised in the Los Angeles area, left his LA digs to live with Williams in Brooklyn. The Huffington Post reported the story, along with some bad news about the effects of Hurrican Sandy on their new home.
As I read the piece, another thought occurred to me. I've been to that Fairway Market, with my brother, a Brooklyn resident. It is locally famous for its size, selection, and easy parking. I hope that the pinpointing of the couple's residence doesn't cause any problems for them. The warehouse housing the market and the couple's home does have a great view of New York Harbor.
I've mentioned Daniel Radcliffe, 23, the star of the Harry Potter films, several times in this column. As I previously wrote, Radcliffe, the son of an Irish Protestant father and an English Jewish mother, identifies as Jewish, although he isn't religious. Hollywoodlife.com reported in October:
Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has split with his girlfriend Rosie Coker, her father confirmed to Daily Mail on Oct. 18.
Actor Daniel Radcliffe and his girlfriend, a production assistant, Rosie Coker, met on the set of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince in 2007 and began dating in 2011, Us Weekly reports. But now, they have called it quits!
Rosie's father told Daily Mail, "Rosie's not in this country at the moment. She's trying to move on. She won't want to talk about it."
Before the split, the couple had been living in Daniel's $4.3 million apartment in Manhattan's West Village neighborhood.
Last March, I reported on the romance of actor Leonardo DiCaprio, 38, who isn't Jewish, and Victoria's Secret model Erin Heatherton, 23, who is Jewish. I noted DiCaprio's consistency in that he seems to have a thing for blonde, Jewish models. (He previously dated famous Israeli model Bar Refaeli, another Jewish blonde.)
Well, on November 2, US Weekly, among other media outlets, reported that Heatherton and DiCaprio had broken up after ten months of dating.
DiCaprio has pretty consistently dated spectacular looking women, but if gossip reports are to be believed, he has never gotten close to marriage.
In this, he has a role model in another famous and famously good looking actor — George Clooney. Clooney did once briefly take the marriage plunge (see Hitchcock item below), before he became really famous via the television drama, E.R.. DiCaprio has been famous since he was 19, and I suspect that fact has helped lead him on his "Clooneyesque" path. If he continues on it, in not too many years, the same jokes which comedians now tell about Clooney's series of short-term, spectacularly beautiful romantic partners ("they come with an expiration date") will be told about DiCaprio.
Interfaith actress Scarlett Johansson, 28, co-stars in Hitchcock, as actress Janet Leigh, the real life star of Alfred Hitchcock's famous 1960 film, Psycho. Hitchcock was set to open next year, but one advance screening at the American Film Institute resulted in such great reviews that the opening date was moved up so Hitchcock could compete for 2012 Oscars. Johansson has a good shot at one of those nominations. (Hitchcock opens in a few theaters on November 23, and in most theaters on November 30.)
|The cast of Hitchcock, based on the making of the movie Psycho, has many Jewish and interfaith connections.
Hitchcock centers on the real life collaboration of the famous director (played by Anthony Hopkins, 74) and Alma, his wife (Helen Mirren, 67), as they bring Psycho to the screen. A number of real life Jewish people were important to the making of Psycho, and most of them are characters in the film. They are played, mostly, by Jewish actors.
Psycho was based on a novel of the same name by Jewish writer Robert Bloch (1917-1994). Hitchcock owed Paramount studio another film, but they didn't want Psycho because of its gory subject matter. As depicted in the film, Paramount's (Jewish) head, Barney Balaban (1887-1971), finally agreed to distribute Psycho if Hitchcock would self-finance it. Balaban and his seven brothers, along with a brother-in-law, built a huge Chicago-based chain of movie palaces. In 1936, he took over as head of the struggling Paramount studio, of which he already owned a large share. His nephew is well known character actor Bob Balaban, 67.
Jewish actor Richard Portnow, 65, plays Barney Balaban. Portnow is one of those veteran, crack character actors you'll recognize, but you probably don't know his name. Among other memorable parts, he played Mel, the sharp Jewish lawyer on TheSopranos who kept Tony Soprano's uncle, Junior, out of jail.
Greasing Hitchcock's real-life deal with Paramount was Hitchcock's Jewish friend and agent, Lew Wasserman (1913-2002). He's played in Hitchcock by Jewish actor Michael Stuhlbarg, 44, the star of the Coen brothers' film, A Serious Man.
Another major Psycho contributor, who is depicted in Hitchcock, is Saul Bass (1920-1996). Bass, a Jewish graphic designer and filmmaker, revolutionized the look of film titles and corporate logos. Not only did he do the Psycho titles, he did a shot-by-shot storyboard of the famous shower scene that Hitchcock employed as his directorial guide. The shower scene was shot in a way that is different from any other prior Hitchcock-directed scene and most film scholars say that the lion's share of the credit for it belongs to Bass. Bass is played by actor Wallace Langham, 47.
As most people know, Psycho was essentially a four-character film. Anthony Perkins played Norman Bates, the "psycho" guy who runs a broken-down motel. Janet Leigh played Marion, a secretary who steals $40,000 from her boss to help out her boyfriend, and flees town. Marion then makes the mistake of staying a night at the Bates Motel. While at the motel, Marion decides to return the money, but before she can, she is murdered in the shower by Norman Bates. Her disappearance prompts her sister, played by Vera Miles, to look for her. Also looking for her is a private detective, played by Jewish actor Martin Balsam (1919-1996).
In Hitchcock, English actor James D'Arcy, 37, plays Perkins; Jessica Biel, 30, plays Miles; Jewish actor Richard Chassler, 40, plays Balsam; and, as noted above, Johansson plays Leigh.
|Anthony Hopkins and Scarlett Johansson in Hitchcock.
When Hollywood makes a movie about a famous movie, there are a lot of connections that span generations — including many interfaith ones.
Balsam, who won a best supporting actor Oscar for A Thousand Clowns (1965), was married from 1959-1962 to (non-Jewish) actress Joyce Van Patten, now 78. Van Patten is the sister of actor Dick Van Patten of Eight is Enough fame. Their daughter, Talia Balsam, 53, has worked pretty steadily in mostly smallish film and TV roles since the 1980s. But her biggest claim to fame is that she is the only woman whom George Clooney dated that he actually married (they were married from 1989-1993).
Anthony Perkins (1932-1993), who wasn't Jewish, was married (1973-1992) to model Berry Berenson, the sister of actress/model Marisa Berenson, now 65. The Berenson sisters' father was an American Jew. Their mother, the daughter of the famous fashion designer Elsa Schaparelli, was of aristocratic Italian Catholic background. Both Perkins and Berenson died before their time due to extraordinary events. Perkins struggled with his sexual identity, and while he and Berenson loved each other, and had two sons, for most of the marriage he also had relationships with men. Like many others, he contracted HIV before the danger was known and died of AIDS in 1993. Berenson was on one of the two planes that were hijacked on September 11, 2001, crashing into the World Trade Center. She was 53 when she died.
When Janet Leigh (1927-2004), who was of Danish Protestant background, made Psycho in 1959, she was already a big star. But it was stardom with an asterisk. Five of her films in the preceding decade were made with her husband, Jewish film star Tony Curtis (1925-2010). They were mostly lightweight flicks, but the public loved the couple and flocked to their movies. In the 1950s, Curtis was a much bigger star than Leigh (they wed in 1951), and it wasn't clear how well she would fare without him.1
Leigh's marriage to Curtis was floundering even as Leigh made Psycho, her solo breakthrough role. They divorced in 1962 and their two daughters, Jamie Lee Curtis, now 54, and Kelly Lee Curtis, now 56, were raised by their mother and stepfather.
Jamie Lee Curtis identifies as Jewish and helped her father's late-in-life efforts to aid the Jewish community of Hungary. In 1984, she wed actor/director Christopher Guest. They have two adopted children. Guest, now 64, is the secular son of an American Jewish mother and an English Jewish father. His father's direct ancestors, I'm reliably informed, include Christians who converted to Judaism and Jews who converted to Christianity.
To complete the circle, in a sense, actor Bob Balaban, Barney Balaban's nephew, has appeared in all of Christopher Guest's "mockumentary" movies, including Best in Show and A Mighty Wind.
Not depicted in Hitchcock is Jewish film composer Bernard Hermann (1911-1975). He wrote the Psycho score which has been called one of the most innovative and memorable film scores of all time. Hitchcock, himself, said that "33% of the effect of Psycho was due to the music." Hitchcock film composer Danny Elfman, 59, who is Jewish, wrote an original score that pays some tribute to Hermann.
Elfman has been married since 2003 to actress Bridget Fonda, the Protestant granddaughter of actor Henry Fonda. The elder Fonda, along with Vera Miles, co-starred in the 1956 Hitchcock movie, The Wrong Man. Fonda also co-starred with Martin Balsam in the classic 1957 movie, 12 Angry Men.
The director of Hitchcock, Sacha Gervasi, 45, is married to Jessica de Rothschild, 38, a theater producer. They married in an English synagogue. Now this one is one of those interfaith tongue-twisters. Sacha Gervasi's father was not Jewish, I am sure. Sacha's mother, Milli Kasoy, is Canadian, and, I am sure, Jewish.
Jessica's father, one of the famous banking Rothschilds, is Jewish. Her maternal grandfather was an American Jew. Her maternal grandmother was of non-Jewish ancestry, and was from Kentucky, as I recall. It's possible that Jessica's maternal grandmother converted to Judaism.
In December 2010, London's Jewish Chronicle reported:
A high celebrity count at last week's marriage of Jessica de Rothschild and screenwriter Sacha Gervasi at the Liberal Jewish Synagogue, St. John's Wood and the Criterion Restaurant.
The bride is the daughter of Liberal Judaism patron Sir Evelyn de Rothschild, the groom the father of Spice Girl Gerri Halliwell's daughter, Bluebell.
The wedding party included actress Helena Bonham Carter and her partner, director Tim Burton, and Duran Duran lead singer Simon Le Bon, according to tweeting guest Sarah (Mrs Gordon) Brown.
So the interfaith and celebrity connections go on. The director of Hitchcock is of interfaith background and the father of a child by a Spice Girl. His wife is a member of the famous and famously Jewish Rothschild banking clan and is probably of interfaith ancestry herself.
[1]The first interfaith couple, in which both members of the couple were film stars, was Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, who were married in 1944. They stayed married until Bogart's death in 1957. However, most of the public didn't know Bacall was Jewish then — or perhaps even now. Bogart and Bacall came off as a glamorous, sophisticated duo whose lives were far removed from the lives of ordinary people.
Far more people, then and now, knew that Curtis and Leigh were an interfaith couple. The same was true of another "golden interfaith duo" in the 1950s: Debbie Reynolds and Jewish singer/actor Eddie Fisher. These two couples were firmly in the same "ballpark" as the vast majority of young families in the 1950s. They lived through the Great Depression as kids and reached young adulthood during WWII. After the war, America boomed financially. These two young couples prospered, along with much of America, and they joined with other young Americans in producing the baby boom generation. Many magazine profiles in the 1950s depicted Curtis/Leigh and Reynolds/Fisher as "people like you" with young kids.
American Jews, for a variety of reasons, including the existence of famous interfaith couples like Curtis/Reynolds and Leigh/Fisher, stopped being perceived as somewhat alien by the vast majority of the American public during the 1950s. I suspect it correlated with the decline in anti-Semitic attitudes In the U.S.
I believe the existence of these famous interfaith couples also led ordinary Jews and ordinary non-Jews to re-evaluate their attitude about interfaith marriage, and many came to the conclusion that it was no big deal and that the "other" was not so different, circa 1960, from themselves.
By 1965, it was clear that Eddie Fisher and Tony Curtis defied another stereotype — that Jewish men were almost all good, steady husbands and attentive fathers. Both married many times and didn't do that much hands-on fathering.
It's a credit to Reynolds and Janet Leigh that two of their respective children (Carrie Fisher and Jamie Lee Curtis) became famous, accomplished people. The fact that both Carrie and Jamie decided to identify as Jewish as adults shows that a decision on "how to identify" can be influenced by factors other than which spouse has primary custody and parenting duties.

A FIRST aider brought a man back to life after taking a life-saving course only three months ago.
Michelle Regan, 45, is calling for lessons in resusciation to be taught as standard in schools after performing the life-saving procedure after a horrific bicycle accident.
A man in his mid-twenties was air-lifted to hospital after falling off his bike and hitting his head in the Laindon Centre on Monday morning.
The fall knocked him unconscious and he had to be brought back to life twice more as paramedics tried to save him.
Ms Regan, of Bushy Mead, Laindon, said: "I came up the walkway into the Laindon Centre to post a letter just after it happened and saw a crowd of people.
"The man's eyes were dilated and there was no sign of life."
Ms Regan performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for 15 minutes until paramedics came with a defibrillator.
She added: "I am praying so much for him. I don't want attention on me. I don't want a medal. I was lucky enough to know what to do. I just urge people to learn CPR."
She decided to go on the course after her sister Carolyn died aged 11 because no one near her knew CPR.
Ms Regan said: "After helping the cyclist I was sobbing like a baby. The shop workers were fantastic to me and looked after me so I thank them for that.
"It took me back to my sister and lots of different things.
"I just worried if I had done the right thing.
"My sister was in my head and heart, but all those things are the reason why I did what I did and that's why I ask people to learn CPR.
"I lost my sister because no one there knewCPR, and it was too late for her.
"You have a golden hour when things need to be done.
"I plead with people if there's an opportunity to learn basic first aid do it. It can be make or break for someone.
"It's just a case of knowing where to place your hands and pressing to the beat of Staying Alive.
"If they learn that it will make such a huge difference."
Essex Police said yesterday the incident had been passed to the Serious Collision Investigation Unit, because of the nature of the accident.
They said the man was still in a critical, but stable condition at the Royal London Hospital.

Hashish from India seized in Germany
Police sniffer dogs detected the haul of so-called "black bombay" hashish, estimated at 20,000 euros, during a routine check at Germany's Frankfurt airport.
The parcel arrived onboard a flight from New Delhi.
German authorities alerted Italian tax police at Malpensa airport, who raided an address in Mariano Comense town near Como, which was written on the parcel.
The parcel addressee was a previous tenant at the apartment in Mariano Comense, who was evicted by the landlord for rent arrears, police said.

Public Policy
Universal Health Care Foundation of Connecticut works on state and national levels to ensure progressive health care reform policies that meet the needs of individuals and small employers in Connecticut.
Federal health care reform, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), and state health reform, overseen by the SustiNet Health Care Cabinet and the Office of Health Reform and Innovation, seek similar, overlapping results:
Improve access to health care and health insurance cove rage (Access)
Bend the health care cost curve, to ease the burden on government budgets and residents' pocketbooks (Lower Cost)
Improve the care delivered by the health care system so that it is efficient, effective, safe, timely, patient-centered, equitable and produces better health outcomes (Better Care)
Improve the overall health of the population (Better Health)
The ACA represents a big leap forward, with many residents already benefiting from its changes.
The new consumer-friendly , state health insurance marketplace, Access Health CT, will make health insurance more affordable for many consumers by offering up-front discounts to help pay for health insurance coverage. Still, much more must be done if our state is to control costs, ensure quality care and build a better future for us all. As a catalyst committed to transforming the health care system, we believe informed and empowered individuals and communities possess the power to lead the way.

It's hard out there for a scrimp.
It's easy enough to avoid spending money on big-ticket items. For instance, rather than buy a new dryer because the door on mine keeps opening while clothes are tumbling around inside, I just duct tape it shut. Ka-ching. Or I'll help the budget by not planning a big vacation this year.
But when you track every penny you spend in a week, as I recently did, you realize it's the small things that wind up costing big money.
"If you don't get it right with the little things, it's a lot harder to get it right in every area of your life," says Crystal Paine, who runs the blog MoneySavingMom.com. A couple of dollars here and a buck or two there can seem too insignificant to notice.
"I think a lot of times, people don't add up over the long haul how much this is really costing them," Ms. Paine says.
As an experiment to figure out just where my money goes, I decided to keep receipts for everything I bought over the course of one week. It was a way to determine just how much I spend on small ticket items, which I define as anything that costs less than $20.
Having come out the other side with eyes wide open, let me ask you a question. What would you rather have: coffee or a trip to Mexico? I ask because I apparently spend just over $16 a week on coffee and muffins at Tim Hortons, where my wife and I usually stop before work. Multiply that by 52 and it turns out I spend $672 a year on coffee. If I banked that money, I could be sipping mojitos on some sunny beach rather than slurping down double-doubles at my desk.
But do I want it enough to skip Hortons in the morning? Or my weekly $12.98 in magazines ($674.96 annually) or my weekly $11.39 ($592.28) in hardware-store goodies?
"Motivation is probably the key thing that differentiates the people who are willing to and willing not to. If they're not motivated by something, or they don't have a reason to do it, then they're not going to do it," says Scott Plaskett, a certified financial planner at Ironshield Financial Planning, in Toronto.
That motivation could be anything from wanting to pay down your mortgage or save for your kid's education. It helps to be specific, Mr. Plaskett says. Telling yourself that you simply want to save money is too vague to stop you from opening up your wallet when you really don't have to.
But whatever the reason for wanting to save, paying attention to small-ticket items is essential.
"It's imperative, especially when people are trying to get ahead," Mr. Plaskett says.
It can also be shocking and depressing. Until last week, I had no idea my annual gum budget amounts to $185.64. Even grimmer is the money I throw away eating out. I tell myself that I often just don't have time to make lunch while I'm getting my daughter ready in the morning. But now, knowing exactly how much I waste on eating out each week, making PB&Js the night before work seems like the easy road to a small fortune.
There are some costs I can't do anything about. Sure, I can try to turn the heat down in my house, but I'm always going to get a gas bill. And while I can try to drive less than I already do, there's nothing I can do about the price of gas when I need to fill my car up.
But did I really need to drop $5 on a drink and a chocolate bar at the golf course last week?
When we got to the clubhouse, a friend I was playing with pulled a water bottle he filled up at home and a banana out of his bag. This guy is now $5 richer than I am.
I look at that receipt now and wonder just how much cash I've thrown away over the years in one clubhouse or another. Next time I play, there'll be a banana in my bag, too.
This is the beauty of tracking your purchases for a week. It helps give you a true understanding of where your money actually goes and where it can easily stay in your pocket. Seeing where cash goes means seeing the light.
That's why Ms. Paine recommends not only tracking what you spend money on, but putting away debit and credit cards and instead having a cash-only budget.
"It's more of a psychological thing - that swiping your card you're still more free to spend more frivolously. Whereas when you have cash and you're on a budget and you have it in an envelope and this is all you have and you have to make it last for the month, you're just going to be a lot more careful about what you're going to spend," she says.Report Typo/Error

Click here for more information about the City of Livermore's annual street resurfacing program.
The 2015 Slurry Seal Project, Project No. 2015-04 will start design soon. Here is a list of streets to be slurry sealed.
2013-2015 Sidewalk Repair Program, Project 2014-02 is under construction. This project will repair damaged sidewalks at approximately 450 locations throughout the City. Owners of properties adjacent to a sidewalk are responsible for maintenance of the sidewalk. The City has a cost sharing program, where the property owner pays 75% of the cost of repairs. There is a maximum cap of $2,004 for owner-occupied residential properties. The list of locations included in the project is established through inventories conducted by City staff, and notices received from the public and property owners. Staff evaluates the condition of sidewalks in high pedestrian locations, such as Downtown, parks and schools every year. Typically, the City does an annual sidewalk repair project, however, this year's project is a two year program.
This project also includes a pilot project to replace the existing bluestone pavers with stamped colored and textured concrete on the north side of First Street, east of L street. The replacement is intended to improve safety and reduce the maintenance cost of the sidewalks in Downtown. Stamped concrete is poured as an integral surface, therefore the surface is less prone to displacements that cause uneven walking surface. The projects includes the installation of sample stamped colored and textured concrete for evaluation by staff before bluestone pavers are removed and replaced.

Set List: Miguel, O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire, London
IT'S little wonder superstars Alicia Keys and Usher have championed Miguel.
He culled a few Prince moves for the soulful All I Want Is You, as creamy falsetto softened the fuzz bass. It was a synchronised hand-waving sesh as Miguel crooned to Sure Thing.
And Use Me was a hushed jogger that explored grunge-soul influences.
Later, he mimicked mentor Usher as he stripped off during a dreamy R&B breakdown, to mass hysteria.
But he recoiled: "You're making me feel like a piece of meat," before re-clothing.
Back to the beat, How Many Drinks was a breezy jazz affair that spawned a deafening singalong.
Then he played musical chairs on the stop-starts of walking bass corker Where's The Fun In Forever.
To wrap up, he channelled the passion of a Marvin Gaye tune on Adorn, while punters called for more.
Get a load of album Kaleidoscope Dream, out now.

Figures from the National Fraud Authority (NFA) estimate that identity fraud within the UK costs more than £2.7 billion every year. The numbers also state that identity fraud affects over 1.8 million people.
In a news release on their website, the NFA announced at least £1.9 billion of this amount is gained by the fraudster. Those figures mean fraudsters gain over £1,000 from each stolen identity, on average.
Criminals use stolen identities to obtain a wide variety of goods, services and benefits in the victims' name amongst many other frauds and crimes, evading detection and enabling people trafficking and terrorism. Criminals often look to obtain genuine documents, such as passports, birth certificates and driving licenses. But these aren't the only ways criminals can steal your identity. Utility bills, online passwords and account numbers are other methods; information which many people still add to their social networking profiles.
These figures are obtained from the first ever UK ID Crime Strategic Threat Assessment, completed by the NFA in partnership with the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau.

Former Ontario premier Dalton McGuinty told police investigating the destruction of documents in his office that his chief of staff was responsible for managing the records.
Communication in his office was overwhelmingly verbal, with no written records of meetings, Mr. McGuinty told police, according to court documents released on Friday that also shed new light on the IT expert swept up in the criminal probe.
"We rarely exchanged, if ever, written arguments against each other," Mr. McGuinty told the Ontario Provincial Police, according to a partial transcript contained in the court documents of his interview on April 15. "Our practice was to hash these things out in person."
Mr. McGuinty, who declined to be audio recorded, is not under investigation. He told police his chief of staff was ultimately responsible for all of the activities that took place in his office.
The OPP believe Mr. McGuinty's former chief of staff, David Livingston, committed a criminal breach of trust for allegedly bringing in a non government employee to wipe computers in the premier's office before the transfer of power to Kathleen Wynne last year.
Mr. Livingston has said through his lawyer that he did nothing wrong.
The OPP filed the documents to request a court order for visitor logs to the provincial legislature that mention Peter Faist, the IT expert retained to purge documents as part of a plan to manage the fallout from the controversial cancellation of two power plants.
Mr. Faist, the boyfriend of Laura Miller, Mr. Livingston's former deputy, used U.S. military software to permanently delete all the data on computers in the premier's office while leaving the operating system intact, the documents allege. The software, known as WhiteCanyon, is commonly used by the U.S. Department of Defense.
Mr. Faist gained access to the computers using a special global password assigned to Mr. Livingston's assistant, the documents allege. McGuinty told police that he did not direct Mr. Livingston to seek the special password.
The documents contain interviews with two former employees in Mr. McGuinty's office who saw Mr. Faist in their office with Ms. Miller.
Rebecca Mackenzie, one of the former employees, told police she returned to her office on Feb. 7, 2013 – four days before Ms. Wynne was sworn in as Mr. McGuinty's successor – to gather her personal belongings.
Ms. Miller asked Ms. Mackenzie to log on to her computer. She observed Mr. Faist insert a CD-ROM into it, the documents allege, and was advised not to touch her machine while the software was running.
Neala Barton, Ms. Mackenzie's supervisor, asked Ms. Miller if Cabinet Office was aware of what they were doing, the documents allege. The response: "yes."
Ms. Wynne's office has revealed that Mr. Faist had contracts with both the government caucus and the Liberal Party - the latter of which was only terminated in March after his name was initially linked to the purge of records. A company connected to Mr. Faist was paid $159,727.28 in taxpayer funds for work with the government caucus office from June, 2010, to January, 2013, the government has said. The company, Netcon1, also received $60,000 for "IT maintenance" from the Liberal Party.
The newly-released documents reveal that it was Ms. Miller who awarded the contract to her boyfriend when she was executive director of the Ontario Liberal Party in 2010. Mr. Faist did not have to compete for the contract. Simon Tunstall, executive director of the Ontario Liberal Party, said it is common for the party to sole source work to people they know, including friends and family members, according to the documents.
Mr. Tunstall told police he did not see a conflict of interest with Ms. Miller hiring her boyfriend.
Despite having a contract with the government caucus, Mr. Faist did not have one with the premier's office, according to the police documents. Nor did he have the security clearance to be given virtually unlimited access to premier's office computers.
Premier Wynne promised on Friday that hearings into the cancelled gas plants will resume. Ms. Miller, who now works for the B.C. Liberal Party, was scheduled to testify last month. But the hearings were suspended after the writ was dropped for the election campaign.

We keep reading about bugzillas that are ignored etc.
I was astounded to see one of my bugzillas was tagged "SHIP_STOPPER"
this morning.
It relates to zypper dup just blindly using the configured
repositories and not ensuring the repositories are set appropriately
to do a "distribution upgrade".
The last Novel comment was from Stephen Kulow:
not to read any howto how to update distributions? Very possible, but not
exactly a bug ;(
To which I replied:
I guess I am of the minority and asinine opinion that a tool that accepts the
argument --distribution-upgrade should actually do a distribution upgrade.
Maybe the option should be renamed to "--distribution-upgrade-final-step" with
shortform -dup_f.
Even better I think --distribution-upgrade should accept an argument that
defines the target distribution being upgraded to and performs the necessary
repository management. After all, zypper is the main CLI tool for repository
management, so that is not outside the scope of what a normal user might
Clearly anyone considering zypper -dup has Internet access, so it could be
updated as needed to work with the new repositories at each distro release.
I must say, I expected the bugzilla to be closed as not a bug, etc.
Instead, Stephen promoted this to "SHIP_STOPPER" this morning.
Call me shocked!
Actually SHIP_STOPPER- means: "Not a shipstopper".

The press should be allowed to reveal the identity of a man arrested during a major criminal inquiry into serious sex-grooming offences against children even though he was not charged, the Court of Appeal has ruled.
Judges rejected a bid for a privacy injunction by a man who was held in 2012 as part of Operation Bullfinch, a police investigation that led to a trial last year in which seven men were convicted of multiple crimes against girls in Oxford aged 12 to 15. Five were jailed for life.
The man was not a defendant and has been released from bail, but his name featured during evidence. His lawyers argued that The Times should not be allowed to name him unless criminal charges were brought…

Chapter 1 : Take A Bow
|Rating: 15+
|Chapter Reviews: 5
Background: Font color:
How about a round of applause
Standing ovation
Oohhhh yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hermione ran into her room, frustration and anger coursing through her vains. She fell onto her bed, letting out a grunt. Being home during the summer was supposed to be fun and relaxing. She looked out the window behind her bed and saw him still standing below. She grunted again and let her head fall on her pillows.
You look so dumb right now
Standing outside my house
Trying to apologize
Youre so ugly when you cry
Please, just cut it out
He still have the roses and the chocolates that had Im Sorry written across the box in his hands. When she had opened the door, the sight sickened her. How did he even have the audacity to even come here after what he did?
She was using all her will-power she had not to curse him into oblivion. Her head jerked up as a snowy white owl flew in her window. She jumped up and took the letter off Hedwigs foot then the owl flew off.
Wait! How am I ? Hermione sighed as her attempts went unheard by the disappearing owl.
She sat down and read the quick letter that Harry had sent her in response to her emergency letter she a sent a little bit ago, right after he showed up.
Calm down, its ok to be mad after what he did, just dont curse him! Im sorry if Hedwig flies off, shes a bit irritated with me. Just banish your response to me. If I need to, Ill come hang out with you for a bit. Its good to be 17! Just let me know if its clear.
Oh thank you! she said as she grabbed a piece of parchment and scribbled Clear! on it then banished it to Harry.
Dont tell me youre sorry cause youre not
And baby when I know youre only sorry you got caught
But you put on quite a show
You really had me going
But now its time to go
Curtains finally closing
That was quite a show
Very entertaining
But its over now
Go on and take a bow
Not even 3 minutes later, Harry was standing in the middle of her room.
Oh thank you Harry! I really dont think I can control myself much longer! she said as she sat back down on her bed.
Harry chuckled. Where is he?
Hermione pointed out the window.
Grab your clothes and get gone
You better hurry up before the sprinklers come on
Talking about, girl, I love you, youre the one
This just looks like a re-run
Please, what else is on
Harry walked over and leaned over the corner of her bed and out the window. Sure enough, he was standing down there, hanging his head. Harry laughed again then sat down next to Hermione.
Well, I dont know how you should handle this either except just wait until he goes away. They call you the brains of the trio for a reason, Harry said grinning as he put an arm around her shoulders.
Suddenly a loud scream came from down below and both teens jumped up and looked out the window to see Hermiones ex-boyfriend running away and sprinklers watering the lawn. Both of them cracked up laughing and fell back onto Hermiones bed.
Mrs. Granger walked in. What is all the laughing about? And the screaming? How did you get here?
Oh, sorry mum. I asked Harry to come over to help me out. Hes a wizard too, so he came the wizard way, Hermione explained, not quite sure how to explain to her mother how he had gotten here.
Oh, alright. Well, would you like to stay for dinner then? Mrs. Granger offered.
Dont tell me youre sorry cause youre not
And baby when I know youre only sorry you got caught
But you put on quite a show
You really had me going
But now its time to go
Curtains finally closing
That was quite a show
Very entertaining
But its over now
Go on and take a bow
Oh, ummm, Harry said, looking over at Hermione, who was nodding her head. Alright, sure.
Excellent. Well finally get to meet this Harry Potter Hermione is always talking about, Mrs. Granger said as she left.
Harry grinned as he turned to look at Hermione. You talk about me a lot eh?
Well not a lot, just a little bit but I mean youre my best friend. What do you expect? Hermione rambled as her face flushed a bit.
Uhhuh, he said, .
And the award for, the best lie goes to you
For making me believe that you could be
Faithful to me
Lets hear your speech ohh
He suddenly grinned then looked back at Hermione, who was watching her feet swinging. Suddenly he sprung on her, tickling her madly.
Harry, stop! Hermione screamed.
Hermione fell backwards onto her pillows, Harry still tickling her. Finally, she got a hold of his wrists, stopping him.
They both stopped laughing but were panting for breath. Their eyes caught each others and held the gaze. Harrys face slowly lowered until he was about an inch from Hermiones. She could feel his breath bathing her face.
Hermione he whispered.
This seemed to break her of a trance. Uhh Harry, Ive gotta do something really quick, hold on.
Hermione wormed her way away from Harry and disappeared out of the room, leaving Harry very confused.
Hermione ran into her bathroom then closed and locked the door behind her. She balanced her hands on the side of the sink, examining herself in the mirror. Her face was as red as an apple.
She sighed and bowed her head. The last thing she needed was for Harry to almost kiss her, but it was the first thing she wanted. She groaned as she washer her hands and patted her face down with a cold towel, a mental battle raging inside her head. Then one side won.
Aww screw it!
She threw the door open, ran down the hall, into her room where Harry was looking at all the books on her selves.
Harry, she said, walking over to him as he turned towards her.
Yeah, wha
She cut him off by crashing her lips onto his. He was shocked at first, but eventually he started kissing her back until she pulled back.
I needed that, he said smiling.
Me too.
Dont tell me youre sorry cause youre not
And baby when I know youre only sorry you got caught
But you put on quite a show
You really had me going
But now its time to go
Curtains finally closing
That was quite a show
