Sometimes you're remembered for only one thing even though you've done so much more. We know Clifford Berryman as having created a bear named for President Theodore Roosevelt. Yep, the teddy bear.
The teddy bear was introduced as a character in a story about President Roosevelt declining to shoot an old bear. Berryman changed it to a young bear in an editorial cartoon for the Washington Post on November 16, 1902. It's been a toy ever since.
Starting this month and continuing through August 17th, the National Archives in Washington, D.C. features "Running for Office", a collection of 44 recently unearthed original drawings of the political cartoonist, Clifford Berryman. It is a look back to a 'simpler' time of gentle teasing from his beginning as a cartoonist in 1891 until his death in 1949 at the old Washington Star newspaper. In all he must have drawn nearly 15,000 cartoons in his lifetime, not all of them political.
He knew all the presidents from Grover Cleveland to Harry Truman. His favorite was to draw the Democratic donkey and the Republican elephant in the clothes of the era as they made their respective points on taxes, votes, and issues of the day. The Progressive Party symbol was a bedraggled goat, the regular voter was always John Q. Public looking utterly confused. All in all, his work was important and influential enough to have won him a Pulitzer Prize in 1944.
But it was a bear cub that sealed his fate in our national consciousness. It humanized Theodore Roosevelt and brought utter joy to millions of children from then on. Not a bad legacy all around.

This Veterans Day, we offer our gratitude to all of the military men and women who have served our country. We extend our thanks for your service and sacrifice.
And while we praise our real-life heroes for their courage and bravery, we thought we might take a look at the stars who've played our men and women in uniform in movies and TV.
Whether it's George Clooney and Matt Damon filming their World War ll drama, The Monuments Men—about the real-life adventures of a small group of soldiers who tracked down art that had been lost, stolen and looted by the Nazis, or Zac Efron playing a Marine in The Lucky One or a shirtless Alexander Skarsgård in Generation Kill, Hollywood has its share of big screen offerings that show the men and women of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and other branches of service such as the Coast Guard.
So, let's remember the real-world heroes as we take a look at the handsome people in our gallery below.

In his third season playing for the Columbus Crew, Justin Meram is finally developing into the outside midfielder his coach has wanted him to be.
The Michigan product had played striker for all of his life before being drafted 15th overall by the Crew in 2011. His chances were few early in his career, until he began finding playing time on the wing due to injuries. Since then, it has been a struggle to convert the forward into a "responsible" wing role, but Columbus Head Coach Robert Warzycha says that after a solid outing in the team's 2-0 win over New York Saturday, things may be clicking for Meram.
"He did well, especially in the second half. He was intercepting passes and in the right position, and he was responsible on the field; that's what we've been asking of him," Warzycha said. "Because he is an offensive player, for him it's easy to get the ball and dribble and shoot, but the other things he was lacking before were the defensive side of the game and being responsible. He showed us a lot of improvement in this game and hopefully he's going to continue."
Meram said that he is focused on helping the team from whatever position he plays, but admits that playing on the wing has been more difficult than he expected.
"It's a spot that's very demanding, offensively and defensively. As [Warzycha] said at halftime of the last game, me and [Dominic Oduro] are going to be the most important players because when they're making those overlapping runs, we've got to cut them down. You've got to be in it for 90 minutes."
Warzycha said that the process of turning Meram into a midfielder was a matter of convincing him of his on-field priorities, and that he seems to be understanding how to play the position.
"Maybe because he was a striker, trying to convince him to be more responsible on the field, that's why it took him so long to actually believe and do what we asked him to do," he said. "But I think he's getting it finally, and if he plays like this he's going to be on the field all the time."
While Meram also feels like he's turning a corner in his development, he admits that it has been a difficult process, and he still sees himself as a more forward player.
"It's tough when you're a goal scorer and you've been playing forward your whole life and you're getting shots and getting those looks. When you're playing outside midfield, you're not getting many chances, but when you do you have to capitalize," he said. "It's a bit of an adjustment; surely I'd love to be closer to the goal, but any chance I'm given to be on the field, I'm going to take full advantage of it."

May 30, 2012, 09:00 ET from E2020 Inc.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., May 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- E2020 Inc., one of the fastest growing providers of online learning solutions, today announced the launch of its latest program offering, Virtual School Services. This cost-effective service provides districts and schools with the ability to create their own virtual learning programs and the flexibility to choose the level of service they need to extend their existing capabilities.
"Schools are budget challenged, and our Virtual School Services help administrators do more with fewer resources.

"The flexibility inherent in the offering means schools can easily implement online learning models for a wide variety of programs, from offering electives or Advanced Placement courses, which are often unsupportable because they serve smaller student populations, or for meeting the needs of homebound students."
As a leading provider of online curriculum, e2020 offers district partners an array of advantages:
- A broad catalog of rigorous standards-aligned courses, including core, career electives, world languages, Advanced Placement, and test preparation content
- Student access to content-area expert coaches and teachers through a unique student-centered learning model
- Technology-enabled tools such as live chat, an interactive white board, and webinars for collaboration and communication
- A fully accredited program with certified teachers to support existing district staff
"Our goal is to complement the strengths of our partner districts," said Factor. "Partners can scale the level of services to provide anything from a Physics tutor who is available after school hours, to a certified Mandarin teacher, to complete program management." Districts interested in a Virtual School Services partnership are encouraged to visit http://www.education2020.com/Partnership-Programs for more information.

Love the daffodils. Are the ones at the bottom primroses? We have sun but there still is a foot or two of snow covering my flowers. By the walk and driveway there is about 5 feet of snow covering my daffodil and tulip bulbs. I wonder when and if I will ever see them! LOL

Good Points
Excellent book about esoteric thinking, so it is the effect on you that matters.
General Comments
I read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert M. Pirsig over 25 years ago. It was recommended by a teacher.
Little did I know what a powerful influence it would have on me. It is about a metaphysics which is a big word for what sounds good. In our society it is to do with science, what sounds good about science is our societies metaphysics. This book is about quality, so what sounds good about our values. The metaphysics of quality is important, as value is the front edge of our experience. We live in a society that does not want this to be the case however.
This is then an instruction manual on making our values the front edge of our experience. It will be about your own values, so esoteric knowledge. This overcomes the value of what sounds good about science, and is a much, much better thing to value. Value what you want to value and not what science wants you to value.
The book does this by describing the sights and sounds of a long motorcycle trip taken by the author and his son some time in the past.
I would recommend this book as a excellent introduction to knowing your own mind: it is the effect it has on you that matters.

Drug bust, driver bails outside KGBT studios
Wed, 01 Aug 2012 22:49:51 GMT —
A traffic stop turned into a manhunt for the driver who bailed and left his marijuana load behind.
This all happened along the 9200 block of west Expressway 83 on Wednesday around 5 p.m. Wednesday.
The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), Border Patrol and Harlingen police were all involved.
A DPS trooper told Action 4 News that he pulled the male driver for not wearing a seatbelt.
Once he stopped, the suspect hopped the median on foot, crossed westbound expressway traffic on foot and ran north into the brush.
A DPS helicopter has been in use to survey the area close to Bass Boulevard.
Public records show that the suburban is registered to Aaron Saucedo of Fresnos Street in Brownsville.
Action 4 News will provide more details as new information emerges.

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: Trouble when engine is cold on 1996 Mercury Villager
The vehicle when it is cold will start and sometimes turn off. I have to let the engine warm up even though it is hot outside. I code for the knock sensor came up, but my mechanic is unsure if that will solve my problem. I have had a tune up, replaced distributor cap, pcv valve, wires, plugs, done an oil change, rotor cap was replaced, and all three belts have been replaced, also I had a leak in the cv boots and replaced the half shaft on the drivers side, with new brakes, rotors, and pads. I have rotated the tires, replaced the catylact converter in the back, and the muffler. There is a noise that is not a knocking and I wouldn't call it a tick but more like its chugging along. Also when I made too many turns the engine would shut off, but start right back up with no problem. There is no check engine light and recently the Air bag light has started to blink and will not shut off. The car would not turn on at one point, but after the tune up was done it started up fine and then the stalling and hesitation started again. Please help with any thoughts or ideas.

General Electric Co. announced Thursday it will buy privately held Lineage Power Holdings Inc. in a deal worth $520 million to tap into the growth in data centers, electronic devices and telecommunications.
Lineage Power produces equipment that converts electric power back and forth from alternating current, or AC, to direct current or DC.
This kind of equipment is used both inside personal electronic devices like mobile phones and also to covert electricity from the grid or from generators to power computers inside data centers, telecommunication antennae and other electric industrial equipment.
GE said Thursday the market for power conversion equipment is $20 billion and growing fast.
This is the latest in a string of acquisitions by GE designed to expand the company's energy business. In October GE said it planned to buy Dresser Inc., a company that makes small natural gas-fired turbines, for $3 billion. In December GE offered to buy Wellstream Holdings PLC, which makes pipes and other equipment for deep-water oil production, for $1.3 billion.
Lineage Power is based in Plano, Texas. The company's 2010 revenue was approximately $450 million. It has almost 2,300 employees and manufacturing operations in China, Mexico and India.
GE, based in Fairfield, Conn., is buying Lineage Power from The Gores Group LLC, a private equity firm based in Los Angeles.
The acquisition is expected to close in the first quarter.
GE shares rose 5 cents to $18.72 in morning trading.

It's killing me. Our culture is sick, and it's on purpose. My family is non-existent. My friends are drunks. America is a cruel, sadistic nation. Most of us know who is behind it and why. Hillary is going to win and things for us males will further deteriorate. Yes, Americans are that stupid. Hillary probably has re-education camps set up for us. I've been thinking about suicide a lot lately. It feels like I have nothing to live for. Everything that meant anything has been destroyed, corrupted, or bastardized, including relations between men and women. Women here are flat out cruel. Many of them completely lack empathy. They've been brainwashed and are beyond hope. Of course, if you dare point out these things you will be accused of being a woman hater because you can't get laid. My parents are selfish scumbag boomers. My dad is on his third wife and is the meanest, cruelest, most miserable person I've ever met. Nobody in my family talks to one another. No birthdays, holidays, graduations, etc. Zilch. The isolation, lack of community, and loneliness are physically killing me.
The good news is that I'm an experienced English teacher with a masters degree and enjoy my work so finding work abroad shouldn't be too hard. I've done it twice in the past. Right now I teach in an intensive English program at a college. I interact with people from all of the planet. These people don't have a chip on their shoulder like so many Americans. However, I've seen some transform into American assholes right before my very eyes. This culture is corrupting. Many students saw the reality and turned back and went home. I agree with the posters on here who say that this evil tyranny is inescapable. There are better places though. America is ground zero. I've been looking at going to a Spanish speaking country, mainly because I speak Spanish. I've done East Asia. In many ways it's worse. China is horrible. The place is soulless. I lived there. I also lived in Korea. Korea is awful too. They are a lot more into money than we are. My East Asian students mostly suck. They can't form original thoughts. They are drones. Getting them to talk is like pulling teeth, and they know everything. I was screwed over royally by employers in both countries. I've had much more positive experiences with SE Asians. Hopefully I can find a nice mellow place to go and live out my remaining years. Being in this cesspool is eating me alive. Statistically I'm already on the back 9.
It's refreshing to know I'm not the only one feeling this way. These forums and this site give me hope. Thanks Winston!

International Laws
Prior to the adoption of resolution 1373 (2001) and the establishment of the Counter-Terrorism Committee, the international community had already promulgated 12 of the current 16 international counter-terrorism legal instruments. However, the rate of adherence to these conventions and protocols by United Nations Member States was low.
As a result of the attention focused on countering terrorism since the events of 11 September 2001 and the adoption of Security Council resolution 1373 (2001), which calls on States to become parties to these international instruments, the rate of adherence has increased: some two-thirds of UN Member States have either ratified or acceded to at least 10 of the16 instruments, and there is no longer any country that has neither signed nor become a party to at least one of them.
Between 1963 and 2004, under the auspices of the United Nations and its specialized agencies, the international community developed 13 international counter-terrorism instruments which are open to participation by all Member States. In 2005, the international community also introduced substantive changes to three of these universal instruments to specifically account for the threat of terrorism; on 8 July of that year States adopted the Amendments to the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material, and on 14 October they agreed to both the Protocol of 2005 to the Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts against the Safety of Maritime Navigation and the Protocol of 2005 to the Protocol for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts against the Safety of Fixed Platforms Located on the Continental Shelf.
The General Assembly has focused on terrorism as an international problem since 1972 and, through the 1980s, addressed the issue intermittently through resolutions. During this period, the Assembly also adopted two instruments related to counter-terrorism: the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Crimes against Internationally Protected Persons, including Diplomatic Agents (in 1973) and the International Convention against the Taking of Hostages (in 1979).
In December 1994, the Assembly again directed attention to this issue through a Declaration on Measures to Eliminate International Terrorism (A/RES/49/60 ). In 1996, a supplement to this Declaration (A/RES/51/210 ) established an Ad Hoc Committee to elaborate an international convention for the suppression of terrorist bombings and, subsequently, an international convention for the suppression of acts of nuclear terrorism, to supplement related existing international instruments, and thereafter to address means of further developing a comprehensive legal framework of conventions dealing with international terrorism. This mandate continued to be renewed and revised on an annual basis by the General Assembly in its resolutions on the topic of measures to eliminate inernational terrorism.
During the past decade, Member States completed work on three more counter-terrorism instruments covering specific types of terrorist activities: the 1997 International Convention for the Suppression of Terrorist Bombings; the 1999 International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism and the International Convention for the Suppression of Acts of Nuclear Terrorism. The last of these was adopted in April 2005 and opened for signature on 14 September 2005, the first day of the General Assembly's World Summit. During that three-day high-level meeting, it was signed by 82 Member States.
It is also within the framework of the Ad Hoc Committee that Member States have been negotiating a draft comprehensive convention on international terrorism since 2000.


text: I'm working on a bass that has the electronics routed through the body, and the pots in it have a bushing that's 10mm long, and an overall shaft length of 20mm. I'm thinking of adding a control plate to it as well, which means I need even more bushing length, probably 15 or 20mm. I was hoping for 4 1M Audio taper smooth/plain shaft pots and a rotary switch either from Alpha or CTS (Maybe Bourns, but I don't like how loose they feel). I searched through Mouser, DigiKey, Small Bear, Allparts, Guitarelectronics.com, Guitar Nucleus, GuitarFetish, and not a single one has a pot that would fit. I looked at Alpha and CTS for custom applications, but knowing those companies and from what I gather on their site, they probably wouldn't deal without dealing in bulk (or at least it would be an outrageous price for just 4 and a rotary switch). Any suggestions on how else I could approach a solution?

What's a safe way to kill mosquitoes? We have a cabin on a pond, and the mosquitoes are ferocious. Some always manage to sneak in, and there is nothing worse than being buzzed, especially when you are trying to fall asleep.
Trying to swat mosquitoes at night is challenging. When my husband gets totally frustrated, he sprays a powerful DEET mist in their direction. Then we breathe the stuff, which I am not sure is safe.
Instead of spraying DEET or an insecticide at mosquitoes, try 90 percent isopropyl alcohol, which you should be able to find in almost any pharmacy.
Put some in a plastic spray bottle and adjust the nozzle so you get a fine mist. Next time a mosquito comes close or rests on a wall, just zap it with the alcohol.
This should be safer for you and deadlier for the mosquitoes.
In less than two years on Lipitor, I went from being able to climb the ancient temples at Angkor Wat, Cambodia, to being almost unable to walk to my mailbox. I felt like I had the flu all the time. I had aches and pains in my fingers, arms, shoulders, hips, legs and feet. I felt so bad I began to wish for a short life.
My doctor listened to me and took me off Lipitor. Four days later, I could move my fingers easily again. I am hoping that I continue to improve, and that there is no permanent damage.
Many readers report that muscle pain can be an incapacitating side effect of statin-type medications like Lipitor. There might be a genetic basis that determines who is vulnerable to this reaction.
A study under way at the University of Buffalo is aimed at tracking down the genes that might be responsible.
Anyone who has experienced severe muscle pain, cramps or weakness while taking statin-type cholesterol-lowering drugs such as Crestor, Lipitor or Zocor may participate. To learn more, contact Cathy Kern at firstname.lastname@example.com or call (716) 829-2695. Include your telephone number and address in your message.
I am 61 years old and have taken estrogen for nearly five years. My doctor said that is the limit and had me stop.
Do you have information on relieving hot flashes and other symptoms?
I have them now in abundance! Even with extra soy in my diet, my hot flashes are still very strong and annoying, and interrupt my sleep. My mother died of breast cancer, and I really don't want to continue taking HRT if it will increase my risk of cancer. I do hope there is some alternative for these problems.
Long-term exposure to hormone replacement therapy increases the risk for blood clots and heart attacks as well as for breast cancer. Most experts advise limiting HRT to the lowest dose that works for the shortest time necessary, preferably less than five years.
There are several other approaches to controlling hot flashes, ranging from prescription drugs such as Effexor, Prozac or Neurontin to natural supplements such as black cohosh, Pycnogenol or St. John's wort. We have summarized these in the new Guide to Menopause we are sending you.
Anyone who would like a copy, please send $3 in check or money order with a long (No. 10), stamped (61 cents), self-addressed envelope to Graedons' People's Pharmacy, No. E-50, P.O. Box 52027, Durham, NC 27717-2027. It also can be downloaded for $2 from our Web site, www.peoplespharmacy.com.
I have heard about a drug available from Canada (not available in the U.S.) by the name of "Pennsat" or something similar that is only available by prescription. Would you kindly send me correct spelling and information about this drug?
The prescription medicine you are interested in is Pennsaid.
It is a topical lotion that contains the powerful anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac in a carrier called DMSO. This allows for the drug to penetrate tissues without irritating the digestive tract.
You are right that Pennsaid has not yet been approved for sale in the U.S. Your doctor can write a prescription for Voltaren gel, though, which also contains topical diclofenac. It is Food and Drug Administration-approved and available in U.S. pharmacies.

Lovelace?Distributor:Radius/The Weinstein Company
The Lowdown: The second pornography biopic to premiere at the fest, it stars Amanda Seyfried as the titular, legendary porn star, who went on to write a memoir about how an abusive relationship with her husband (Peter Sarsgaard) led her into the industry. It's a pretty rote biopic, but the star were clearly enough to sell it.
How You Can See It: Radius generally focuses on VOD release, but the star power ought to ensure it a hefty theatrical presence too.
Prince Avalanche?Distributor:Magnolia Pictures
The Lowdown: David Gordon Green's return to low-fi indie filmmaking after studio debacles like The Sitter and Your Highness, but he's brought stars Paul Rudd and Emile Hirsch along with him. Based on an Icelandic film, it's a little less accessible that Green's studio movies, but very well-received by fans happy to see him back in top form, myself included.
How You Can See It: Magnolia, like many of the distributors active at Sundance, does well with VOD releases, so expect it there along with a potentially limited theatrical release.
The Spectacular Now?Distributor:A24 Films
The Lowdown: Stars Miles Teller and Shailene Woodley received a special jury prize for their performances as two high schoolers who fall in love and confront both the usual and the impossible challenges of growing up. It was a festival favorite among many critics, myself included. I also had the chance to interview Teller and director James Ponsoldt.
How You Can See It: A24 may be a new distributor, but they won a bidding war for this much-loved film for a reason, and should garner a lot of attention when they release it this summer (we're hearing it will be late July).
Stoker?Distributor:Fox Searchlight
The Lowdown: The English-language debut of legendary Korean director Park Chan-wook, it's a lurid and gothic coming-of-age tale about a girl (Mia Wasikowska) both enamored by and suspicious of an uncle (Matthew Goode) who shows up after her father's mysterious death. Nicole Kidman also co-stars. It got hugely mixed response at the festival, but Matt Patches and I went nuts for it.
How You Can See It: Coming to theaters on March 1.
Toy's House Distributor:CBS Films
The Lowdown: A coming-of-age story about three teenage boys trying to live on their own, with supporting performances from TV stars like Alison Brie and Nick Offerman. Nearly everyone who caught it at the festival adored it.
How You Can See It: At the moment CBS Films only has comedies Last Vegas and The To Do List, plus The Last Exorcism Part II, scheduled for 2013. They'll probably be happy to give a prime theatrical release to a potential critical darling like this one.
Upstream Color Distributor:Self-distributed
The Lowdown: The hugely anticipated return of Primer mastermind Shane Carruth, it lived up to expectations by presenting a mind-boggling, beautiful and fascinating romance about what happens when you fall in love after being injected with a worm. Or something like that. I'm still figuring it out, but you can read my initial thoughts here.
How You Can See It: Carruth is self-distributing the film, with a release planned for this spring.
The Way, Way Back Distributor:Fox Searchlight
The Lowdown: A coming-of-age story from the writers of The Descendants, making their directorial debut, with a huge cast that includes Steve Carell, Toni Collette, Sam Rockwell, Allison Janney, Amanda Peet and Rob Corddry. It received a huge standing ovation at its premiere.
How You Can See It: Sold for an eye-popping $10 million, it's clearly a favorite at Fox Searchlight, and should get a splashy summer release to prove it.

Everton manager David Moyes has insisted that his side threw away three precious points in the closing stages against Norwich City this afternoon.
The Toffees led with six minutes to play at Carrow Road but conceded twice in the final few minutes to suffer a surprise 2-1 defeat.
Moyes believes that his side controlled the match but paid the price for not adding to Leon Osman's early strike.
He told BBC Sport: "We should have won the game. We were 1-0 up and in control and we let them get back into it and then they scored after the three minutes of injury time [that was scheduled to be played].
"But we didn't do enough to get that second goal."
Grant Holt's injury-time winner means that Everton are still six points behind Tottenham Hotspur in fourth place having played a game more.

Jail suicide bid delays 'relevant'
Delays in reaching an unconscious prisoner in the wake of a suicide bid may have contributed to the serious brain damage he suffered, a watchdog report has found.
The 30-year-old convicted sex offender, who had a history of psychiatric problems, self-harm and alcohol abuse, was being held in the Care and Supervision Unit (CSU) at Maghaberry prison in Co Antrim when he tried to hang himself in his cell in February last year.
As part of supervision measures for patients deemed to be at risk, he should be been checked on every 15 minutes.
But an investigation by Prisoner Ombudsman Pauline McCabe found that when the prisoner - referred to as Mr C - was discovered unresponsive in his cell by an officer, 29 minutes had elapsed from the last time he was observed through the door flap.
Ms McCabe said it took a further five minutes to get the cell opened, as a senior officer was also required to be present under security protocols.
Resuscitation was commenced with the assistance of prison nurses and after 10 to 15 minutes Mr C had begun to breathe again. Paramedics arrived almost half an hour after the prisoner was found.
Ms McCabe said there had been a four and half minute delay requesting an ambulance due to "an unfortunate misunderstanding" of a radio message sent by the senior office at the scene.
While the prisoner ultimately survived the episode, he was left with complex physical disabilities and cognitive impairment caused by severe brain injury, including an inability to speak and communicate basic needs. He is now cared for in a nursing home.
Ms McCabe said the care Mr C had received in the CSU had been the most thoughtful he had experienced during his last stint in prison and noted that prior to the delay around the suicide bid he had been checked regularly as required.
"This being the case, the mistake made by the sole officer in the CSU who missed Mr C's final observation was most unfortunate," she said.

DV7-1279WM Touchpad problems

I've been having some troubles with the Touchpad involving a program or two, and I've had a very annoying issue from the beginning with this touchpad. I'm hoping someone can assist me.
My touchpad does not allow me to scroll during a game. Not being able to scroll stops me from adjusting camera range to varying situations in game, and is a major pain to deal with. I've noticed it once before with Firefox just when I had installed it, but that solved itself.
I do happen to recall a case where I also couldn't activate Ventrilo from the game, and in order to fix that, I had to run Ventrilo in Administrator mode and the game in normal mode. I attempted the same fix, running the Touchpad software in Administrator mode and the game in normal to no avail.
I've updated the drivers from the Synaptics website with no luck, and I'll be replacing them with the HP issued ones.
My final issue, which is more of a nitpick than anything else, is that there is no Middle Button Emulation for the Synaptic drivers. That boggles the mind that such a rudimentary feature is completely missing from such an acclaimed leader in touchpad devices. It's as essential as the scroll feature is now to the everyday user.
Any help would be appreciated. I'd be glad to learn of any other set of alternate drivers that will at least offer me the ability to scroll vertically and middle click emulation.

5 Annoying Things People do on Flights
How do fellow airplane passengers annoy you most in the skies?
Is it someone kicking your seat? Your neighbor's bad breath?
Check out five annoying things people do on planes, according to the above Fox report.
5. Pass gas
4. Have bad breath
3. Recline the seat
2. Kick your seat
1. Take off shoes and socks
But airplane etiquette complaints go beyond that. We checked Twitter to see what else is ticking people off in the skies lately.
People, stop putting your backpacks in the overheads. Seriously. #airplaneetiquette— mr808tv (@mr808tv) April 10, 2014
Someone is actually eating a stinky tuna and egg Pret salad for breakfast on the plane. Way too early for this#airplaneetiquette— Josephine Price (@miss_jprice) April 9, 2014
Don't you just hate it when people behind you put their gross bare feet up on your arm rest...? #getapedicure #airplaneetiquette— Chandrima Chatterjee (@chandrimatweets) April 7, 2014
And, while we're at it, here is what's annoying people at the airport.
If you're gonna sit right by the charging stations, use them! #airportetiquette— Beth Hecht (@EVHecht) April 10, 2014
Dear 25 strangers, no one called out flight to board yet, what are you trying to push your way onto? #airportmanners— bbbeccab (@rebeccaberger) April 11, 2014

Not ourselves alone
A DEPENDENCE on the authority of traditions of ideas has been a casualty of the modern availability of information.
This is not to question the inherent virtues of liberal education, nor to deny the enormous advantages that have derived from making authority in general explain itself. But dependence on the knowledge and collected wisdom of traditions of ideas is actually unavoidable - even if we think today that we are thinking for ourselves. For no one can achieve universal knowledge, or balance insights which stem from the range of diversities which the expansion of information offers.
Retrieval systems return to us, in an ordered fashion, only what we have programmed them with; and the questions asked of any database by an individual are determined by prior intellectual training. What authority is there left? Marxism was perhaps the last coherent and organised system of ideas, and its decline at the end of the last century has left an ideological void. For the intellectual basis of the Humanist-Liberalism which now inspires such political thinking as there is in the Western world is not systematically expressed by public figures, has no agreed or authoritative texts, and is rendered in the emotive rhetoric of human rights.
Modern people do not look to religion as a basis for systematic ideas, either: religion is generally regarded as having to do with the emotional or aesthetic satisfaction of the individual, not with general philosophical explanation. Indeed, in a society with increasing levels of educational achievement, it is sadly noticeable that the formal intellectual qualifications of the clergy are becoming rapidly more modest.
Religious traditions, however, have always rested on authoritative acceptance. Adherents have believed in the truth of Christianity not because of any personal emotional experience or individual validation but because of the inherent truth conveyed by the tradition. It has depended, that is to say, on the successive witness of generations, each one adding its own particular contributions to the accumulation of wisdom and spirituality. It is a matter of learning the tradition, and then of declaring loyalty to it - a loyalty, furthermore, which is exclusive.
This is especially necessary to say in present circumstances, when individuals suppose themselves capable of arriving at authentic religious belief on their own. How little they understand the dreadful mechanics of modern information, how easily the choices set before individuals are manipulated, and how readily we all succumb to the fashions of ideas that denote formal choice in "the plural society". Ours is a culture that appears to accept without too much resistance the normal practice of "news management" by politicians, which demonstrates time and time again how easily the opinions of educated people are swayed by propaganda representations.
It needs to be remembered that the horrific totalitarian regimes of the past 100 years nearly all rested on the popular democratic assent of the first mass-educated electorates the world had ever seen.
All that the spread of education seems to have indicated is that more information broadens the data from which the propaganda tableaux of the manipulators can be drawn. So let those who would seek religious ideas be aware: authentic religious belief derives from, and is dependent on, a tradition of believers. We join an eternal company, we do not invent it.

Another Voice: We must protect LGBT youth from psychological abuse
Nathan M. Schaefer
Coming of age in the most supportive of environments can be a grueling process for any adolescent. Coming to terms with one's sexual orientation or gender identity in a state that allows so-called therapists to try to change who they are can be devastating. Minors do not have full, legal control over their health care, but a bill before the New York State Legislature would protect them from being subjected to quackery judgments that they're anything but normal.
The damaging practice of trying to change LGBT minors and deny them their authentic identities needs to stop. Every major medical association has agreed that being lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender is not a disorder and opposes attempts to "cure" it. In fact, the American Psychological Association cites negative effects of so-called "reparative therapy," such as depression, suicide and anxiety.
California and New Jersey have led the way on this. Now many others are stepping up, including the District of Columbia, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia. Our own state's proposed law is sponsored by Assemblywoman Deborah Glick, D-Manhattan, and Sens. Brad Hoylman, D-Manhattan, and Michael Gianaris, D-Queens.
As it did during the marriage movement, the Buffalo community is once again leading the charge to achieve this priority for the LGBT community. That's why today Sen. Tim Kennedy and Assemblyman Sean Ryan, both D-Buffalo, are throwing their weight behind this key issue.
We must pass this law in New York and in states all around the country to send a strong message that our identities are to be respected, and that the medical professionals we look up to to provide compassionate and supportive care are not stuck in last century's mindset. Public opinion is in our favor – equal rights for LGBT people has more support than ever before and this is one common-sense bill that most can get on board with.
Even some of the most notoriously vocal LGBT opposition groups on this issue are changing their tune. In June 2013, after 36 years of leading the "ex-gay" movement, Exodus International disbanded amid growing skepticism of its top officials and board members that sexual attractions can be changed. President Alan Chamber apologized, saying he was "sorry we promoted sexual orientation change efforts and reparative theories about sexual orientation that stigmatized patients."
We cannot allow so-called therapists to continue to render the next generation of LGBT Americans insecure, confused and psychologically inflicted. We all call on New York and the country to support our children as they grow into the beautiful, diverse and authentic adults they're meant to be.

Joining the bandwagon of future tellers, Cisco recently read the collective palm of malcode writers and cybercriminals everywhere and released what they saw in their annual security report.
Seriously though, the report takes perspective on some pretty massive themes and is a worthwhile read for security managers and other interested users. It provides "an overview of the combined security intelligence of the entire Cisco organization", which is an interesting statement in itself, knowing that the company has over 60,000 full time employees and lots of contracted and outsourced staff.
I like its structure and layout, but you'll still find a lot of questionable statements in its details, so end users might be pretty well confused by some of the key statements.
Malware activity gets stuffed under the Vulnerability section. Their crystal ball tells us What to Expect in 2008, partly based on what they have not seen in the past (disregarding the golden rule that absence of evidence is not evidence of absence in the security arena):
"More malware may execute in system memory, not on hard drives."
Huh? I can't remember the last time a piece of malware, or any code for that matter, executed on the hard drive, instead of in the CPU and memory. And what about caching or paging?
Ok, we can get past that statement. The point seems to be that "more" malcode may run on systems without ever touching users' hard drives: "Malware attacking rootkits that executed entirely in system memory emerged in 2007. As average RAM size continues to increase in the coming year, these strategies will likely grow in popularity".
Imho, not exactly. These strategies have been around for a long time in the underground and cybercriminal coding communities, but it hasn't been a money maker — Aphex's downloader circa 1999 is an example. The key feature was that it downloaded any content to memory from a remote location (like a web server) and executed the content in memory without the content ever touching the disk. I am sure his was not the first, but he was one of the first from the shadier side of the underground to develop and publicly release a reliable loading technique like this one on his website. The downloader, and its scanner evasion techniques, just weren't needed at the time. Problems from using the technique had nothing to do with the size of physical memory on the victim system. But there were easier methods of detection evasion.
Kinda confusing.
Anyways, enough of my nitpicking, it is an interesting read with a fine list of key recommendations, predictions, and some exposure to their collected data from 2007. I'll get through more of the malware section and update this post with notes about what I really like in the report.

Village of Somerset shoots down bow hunting proposal
To bow hunt, or not to bow hunt?
That was the question the Somerset Village Board pondered at its Tuesday, Oct. 18, meeting.
Several local hunters had approached some board members about allowing bow hunting on undeveloped village property off Highway 35.
Greg Sayers, chair of Public Safety Committee, said that the committee debated whether to allow bow hunters to limit the animal population in that area.
"But then, we will be asked about letting hunting on other areas, and then where will it stop?" said Sayers.
Jeff Johnson, village president, asked Police Chief Doug Briggs if there was any ordinance about allowing hunting within village limits.
Briggs said that the Village officers only have the authority to issue citations when a firearm or bow is discharged; hunting regulations are determined by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. A person who has discharged a weapon will not only be cited, but also referred to the DNR for hunting violations.
Sayers said that the Public Safety Committee suggested the village not allow bow hunting on the property. The board agreed.
Ryan Sicard, chairman of public works committee, said that the committee recommended revising the limited term position from within public works a summer wage scale to an hourly rate.
"There is no language, because this is not a union position, there is no guidance on wage schedule for this employee," explained Sicard.
The person in this position currently has been working for the village for the last two summers. The position will now allow pay increases based on performance rather than an automatic increase after six months.
As outlined, the position will start at $13/hour instead of the former $10/hour, based on certification from supervisors.
"If he is valuable, he is worth every dime," commented Johnson.
In other news:
Lynn Berg, from Grace Place in Somerset, spoke to the board about the upcoming bell ringing campaign. She explained that it was a primary fundraiser to help the families in need in St. Croix County and asked anyone interested in volunteering to ring between Thanksgiving and Christmas to contact her at Grace Place.
Randy Rosburg, Somerset school superintendent, gave a presentation to the board about the recent school district survey and why the levy decreased.
The board approved hiring Evergreen Irrigation, Inc., for the wetland delineation of the Industrial Park, not to exceed $2,500.
The board approved a beer garden permit for General Sam's on Saturday, Nov. 12, from 12 noon-4 p.m. This will coincide with the Gopher Badger college football game.
The board approved compensating a resident in the 600 block of Hud Street $1,000 for an easement on their property -- the residents own the property but it is a village easement so they can never build on the property.
Somerset Fire/Rescue Chief Travis Belisle said that the Champs benefit in October raised $1,500 -- of which his department received $500.
The 2011 population report came out and Johnson said that the current population of Somerset is 2,639. Pam Donohoe, village clerk, said that 1,791 are voting age.
The board meets every third Tuesday at the Village Hall at 7 p.m. The public is welcome to attend.

Release Date: 2004 |
Album Rating: 1.5Ashlee Simpson has no credibility as an artist whatsoever. She has trouble getting a hook, rides the success of her sister, though she claims in that horrific "Shadow" she's not, and she doesn't even sing her own shit! She is death to pop.
Album Rating: 2.5Originally I was planning on just trashing this, but when I actually listened to it with an open mind, I learned it really wasn't "1" worthy.
Ashlee Simpson is one of the few examples of truly awful music.
Well I have actually listened to almost all of the songs on the album, so my opinion isn't just based on a few things. I truly can't stand Ashlee Simpson.
[quote=thor]I have actually listened to almost all of the songs on the album[/quote]That's not every song!!!!!
Nice work on the review. :thumb:
I've not heard this album yet, but your review seems pretty unbiased. Nicely done.
Album Rating: 2.5Thank you
i have heard only one or two songs off of here, because my sister loves this girl. granted, they would never appeal to me, but i could see why people who are into pop music would pick this up quickly.
but everytime i watch her getting booed off the stage at the halftime show on ebaumsworld....i just cant help but laugh.
great review by the way, and i loved the little saying about Hawthorne Heights songs not being as good as Ashlee's
Digging: RAM - Rod
Rated 5 to bring up the average rating.
Album Rating: 2.5
but everytime i watch her getting booed off the stage at the halftime show on ebaumsworld....i just cant help but laugh
Damn Spat, you were right. That rating dropped faster than a dress on prom night.
I consider Ashlee a joke after the MTV show and SNL debacle. But I haven't heard enough of her material to comment on that. Nice review.
Album Rating: 1.5Good review
Well...at least she's hot...
Album Rating: 2.5 | Sound OffNice review. The first four songs are alright, though I'm going to agree with Sylvia and say 'Boyfriend' is the best thing she's done.
I have listened to this the whole way through multiple times and am thus justified in my rating.
Album Rating: 2.5I agree 'Boyfriend' is a great single.
Album Rating: 2.5 | Sound OffBest 05 single was 'Because of You'.
Album Rating: 1.5Kripes, are you serious? And Boyfriend was terrible, I'm sorry.
And yes I have listened to the CD in full. Little sisters can be such a hassle...
Best 05 single was 'Because of You'.
Did you not see my comment!? I don't have this, but I'm rating it a 5 to counterbalance the low ratings of ignorant people.
Album Rating: 1.5Oh, sorry missed it (sheepish look). But this is really quite bad, although having it blared and little sis singing off key with it didn't improve matters much.
Album Rating: 2.5 | Sound OffWhat would you consider #1 Dan, just curious? I guess it depends on if you limit it to pop or not... 'Hung Up' was great, 'the Importance of Being Idle' is fantastic but it got limited airplay over here and I wouldn't call it a pop song.

Police said a disappearing-reappearing license plate was part of a Virginia trucker's trick to dodge paying tolls.
Nelson Vaquiz of Beaverdam was arrested on his way into New York City on the George Washington Bridge.
Police said Vaquiz had run a cable from the cab of his big rig truck through the body and down to the bumper of the vehicle. When he pulled the cord, Port Authority officers said, the front license plate would flip up.
Without a clear shot of the license plate, cameras cannot bill or fine a truck driving through the EZ-Pass lanes without a tag. Police said the rear license plate was bent so it could not be read, either.
The cash toll for a three-axle truck crossing the bridge from New Jersey is $39. The toll for a six-axle vehicle is $78.
Vaquiz was charged with theft of service, possession of burglar tools and eluding arrest. He was released on bail.
Calls to his business phone by the AP were not answered.

Washington - The international military assault on Libya could achieve its stated goals without forcing Muammar Gaddafi from power, the top US military officer said on Sunday as the bombing campaign continued.
After a barrage of attacks by sea-launched Tomahawk cruise missiles on Saturday, an array of US war planes - including several Air Force B-2 stealth bombers - followed in the pre-dawn hours on Sunday with a co-ordinated assault using precision-guided bombs, according to a US military official.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive military missions, said the planes included Air Force F-15s and F-16s, Navy EA-18G electronic warfare planes and Marine attack jets.
Mike Mullen, chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staffs, described the campaign's aims as "limited" saying it "isn't about seeing him [Gaddafi] go." Appearing on NBC's Meet the Press, Mullen was asked whether it was possible that the mission's goals could be achieved while leaving Gaddafi in power.
"That's certainly potentially one outcome," he replied.
Pressed on this point later in an interview on CNN's State of the Union, Mullen was more vague. "How this ends from the political standpoint, I just can't say", Mullen said. He said it was too early to speculate.
US officials said at the outset of the missile strikes on Saturday that the goals are to prevent Gaddafi from inflicting further violence on his own people and to degrade his military's ability to contest a no-fly zone.
Mullen said on Sunday that the no-fly zone was now in place, with Gadhafi having put no aircraft in the sky.
President Barack Obama, on an official visit to Brazil, held a conference call on Sunday with top national security officials, including Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Defence Secretary Robert Gates and Army General Carter Ham, who as head of US Africa Command is in charge of the Libya military operation. Ham's headquarters are in Stuttgart, Germany.
Gates had planned to fly to Russia on Saturday but delayed his departure for a day so that he could be in Washington to monitor the operation's launch.
Mullen said he thinks Gaddafi is more isolated than ever as a result of the no-fly zone and an arms embargo. He said the Libyan leader is "going to have to make some choices about his own future" at some point.
Mullen also said he hasn't seen any reports of civilian casualties as a result of the coalition's military operation and that Gaddafi has resorted to using human shields in an attempt to prevent further attacks.
The US military announced that Navy electronic warfare aircraft and Marine Corps attack jets joined the international assault early on Sunday. Navy EA-18G Growlers launched from unspecified land bases to provide electronic warfare support over Libya.
Marine AV-8B Harriers from the USS Kearsarge sailing in the Mediterranean conducted strikes against Gaddafi's ground forces and air defences.
American officials are eager to confirm that damage from the multi-stage air campaign has been extensive enough to allow air patrols to protect civilians being targeted by Gaddafi.
Military officials said that as Sunday dawned in Libya, satellites would give commanders a better view of the expected destruction along the country's coastline.
112 Tomahawk cruise missiles
US and British ships launched the first phase of the missile assault, raining 112 Tomahawk cruise missiles onto more than 20 radar systems, communications centres and surface-to-air missile sites.
While the US was leading the initial onslaught, officials made it clear that America would quickly step back into a supporting role and shift command to its European and Arab partners.
"Leading it now, we're looking to hand off that leadership in the next few days", Mullen said. "This is a military operation, so that's got to be done smoothly."
Obama, in Brazil for a five-day Latin America visit, made clear the US reluctance to take on another war.
"This is not an outcome the US or any of our partners sought," Obama said. But, he said he was convinced it was necessary to save the lives of civilians, particularly in and around the rebel stronghold of Benghazi.
He added: "We cannot stand idly by when a tyrant tells his people there will be no mercy."
Navy Vice Admiral William E Gortney, director of the Pentagon's Joint Staff, told reporters the cruise missile assault was the "leading edge" of a coalition campaign, named Operation Odyssey Dawn.
Libya defences capable
He said it would take six to 12 hours to assess the damage, and if the main targets - Libya's SA-5 surface-to-air missiles - were taken out, then it would be safe to send an unmanned Global Hawk surveillance drone to get a better picture of the area.
Libya's overall air defences are based on older Soviet technology but Gortney called them capable and a potential threat to allied aircraft.
Also targeted: early warning radars and unspecified communications facilities, Gortney said. The US military has extensive recent experience in such combat missions; US Air Force and Navy aircraft repeatedly attacked Iraq's air defences during the 1990s while enforcing a no-fly zone over Iraq's Kurdish north.
Cruise missiles are the weapon of first choice in such campaigns; they do not put pilots at risk, and they use navigational technologies that provide good precision.
The first Tomahawk cruise missiles struck at 15:00 EDT, Gortney said, after a one-hour flight from the US and British vessels on station in the Mediterranean.
They were fired from five US ships - the guided-missile destroyers USS Stout and USS Barry, and three submarines, USS Providence, USS Scranton and USS Florida.
The US has at least 11 naval vessels in the Mediterranean, including three submarines, two destroyers, two amphibious warfare ships and the USS Mount Whitney, a command-and-control vessel that is the flagship of the Navy's 6th Fleet.
Also in the area are Navy P-3 and EP-3 surveillance aircraft, officials said.
Slippery slope
Gates was sceptical of getting involved in Libya's civil war, telling Congress this month that taking out Libya's air defences was tantamount to war.
Others have worried that the mission could put the US on a slippery slope to deeper involvement in yet another Muslim country - on top of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Hours after Clinton attended an international conference in Paris that endorsed military action against Gaddafi, the US and Britain kicked off their attacks.
French fighter jets earlier fired the first salvos, carrying out several strikes in the rebel-held east.
Clinton said Gaddafi had left the world no choice but to intervene urgently and forcefully to protect further loss of civilian life.
A fine man Mike mullen. The US military is brimming with strong, clear, effective leadership that supports human rights and democracy.
@slg - So true,so true! Unlike South Africa's ANC leadership who are only interested in inriching themselves at the expense of the uneducated masses.
Obviously the New World Order wants Gaddafi's OIL more than they want his $billions stashed in Britain/Europe or they would ruffle up Mugabe too.
Now how come Iran goes free? - Watch this space!!!!!!!
Again, this is not about oil. It's about freeing the Libyan people from the tyrannical rule of Gadaffi and his eight sons so the people of Libya can decide on their government and future.
The waves of change sweeping through the Middle East are very strong, likely to lead right up to the doors of the illegitimate rulers of Iran and their henchmen. The people of Iran will be free too.
@Jaimo They had his oil. But you can only buy oil for so long from a country while he kills his own people. Zimbabwe doesn't have oil. That the cynical side.
Good to hear this. South Africa needs to follow suite by rebelling against the goverment so that the US and the Western forces can help us by isolating JZ and his cronies. The most beautiful thing about RSA is that once JZ and his cronies have been isolated we can take care of the dirty councils on the side knowing that anything that looks like war the US forces will squash it. Come on South Africans, Jacob Zuma and his friends are raping the country every minute, what are we waiting for? Somebody raise the hand and say I am in???????????????????

How Fama Went Wrong: Measures of Multivariate Kurtosis for the Identification of the Dynamics of a N-Dimensional Market
This paper investigates the common intuition suggesting that during crises the shape of the financial market clearly differentiates from that of random walk processes. In this sense, it challenges the analysis of the nature of financial markets proposed by Fama and his associates. For this, a geometric approach is proposed in order to define the patterns of change of the market and a measure of multivariate kurtosis is used in order to test deviations from multinormality. The emergence of crises can be measured in this framework, using all the available information about the returns of the stocks under consideration and not only the index representing the market.

Facing increased competition for younger listeners from rival stations like Cogeco-owned The Beat 92.5, Montreal's Virgin Radio 96 has rolled out its first image campaign since its 2009 debut.
Developed by Montreal agency BCP, the new campaign targets the city's English community – with a particular focus on women 25-34 – with TV and out-of-home advertising.
BCP was charged with helping Virgin 96 (one of seven Virgin stations operated by Astral Radio across the country) take ownership of its primary niche – the Top 40 format.
The campaign includes a series of billboards utilizing four different visual effects on a glittery, disco-esque background, as well as the iconic Virgin star. The billboards feature different messages promoting the station, including "Montreal is our dance floor," "Hits that are always a beat ahead" and "Montreal is a party & we are your DJ."
The campaign also includes a 3D billboard in the heart of the city featuring a headphone-wearing DJ mixing behind a sound table. The execution uses the Astral Out-of-home digital network to display the song being played on Virgin Radio 96 at the time.
The campaign also features TV spots airing on CTV stations, Cineplex theatre screens and the Internet. The 15-second spots feature three current radio hits by Katy Perry, Pink and Usher.

BRUSSELS, Jan. 16 (UPI) -- European regulators raided some of the biggest drug companies Wednesday, looking into whether they conspired to keep prices high after patents expired.
Pfizer, AstraZeneca, GlaxoSmithKline and Sanofi-Aventis were among pharmaceutical houses confirming they were visited as part of the European Commission investigation into delays in the introduction of low-cost generic drugs, the Financial Times reported. Teva, the world's main generics company, also was targeted.
The inquiry focuses on whether the industry took unfair advantage of patent rights to delay the introduction of generic alternatives. Investigators said the probe will assess whether companies have made bogus attempts to extend the life of intellectual property rights or cut deals with one generic rival at the expense of others, the newspaper said.
The EU, based in Brussels, has expressed concern about the rising cost of medicines and declining innovation.
"If we have the feeling that something is rotten in the state, then let's take the opportunity to find out," said Neelie Kroes, competition commissioner. "If innovative products are not being produced, and cheaper generic alternatives to existing products are in some cases being delayed, then we need to find out why and, if necessary, take action."
