ELYRIA — Dental records helped identify a badly decomposed body found Sunday in Lake Erie as missing boater Daniel Crowner, 44, of Wooster.
An autopsy Monday revealed that Crowner drowned during a fishing trip earlier this month, and Cuyahoga County Coroner Frank Miller ruled that the death was accidental.
Investigators originally speculated that the 21-foot power boat Crowner was riding in with his brother, Christopher Crowner, 46, and their friend, Cass Monchilov, 46, both of Wooster, may have collided with a barge.
Miller said there were no signs of blunt impact trauma, however.
The body was found by a fishing vessel near East 185th Street in Cleveland, still clothed in the T-shirt and shorts Crowner was wearing when he disappeared near Kelleys Island on Sept. 2.
Miller said Crowner was sunburned and corroded by bacteria, making him difficult to identify visually.
"We're all devastated. This is the hardest thing any of us have ever faced," said Edith Crowner, mother of Daniel and Christopher.
Monchilov's body was recovered by the U.S. Coast Guard after a three-day search, but Christopher Crowner has not been found.
Edith Crowner said the family had been praying that her boys would be found, and are now planning a memorial Mass for Daniel.
"Danny was a happy person, and he smiled a lot," she said. "He was so precious to us. He was my youngest son and I love him."
Daniel Crowner worked for Miller Supply in Wooster, and loved outdoor sports, fishing, hunting and playing with his dog, she said.

Lauryn Hill Goes To Prison For Tax Evasion
Former Fugees member Lauryn Hill has submitted herself to the federal prison in Connecticut, where she will start her three months sentence for tax evasion.
Lauryn was booked into the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) in Danbury at 11:15 AM EST.
according to TMZ, FCI is a "minimum security type facility" where inmates live in "barracks type" housing.
The 38-year-old singer will not be isolated in the facility — and will be housed with the general population.
As we previously reported, Hill pleaded guilty last year to three counts of tax evasion for failing to file returns on $1.8 million she earned from 2005 to 2007

I know this is basically a rewording of a previous e-mail, but I realized this is the question I *really* wanted to ask.

We have this language extension UndecidableInstances (not to mention OverlappingInstances), which seem to divide the Haskell camp into two factions:

* Hey, GHC said to turn on this flag. Ok!
* Undecidables are the devil!

I get the feeling the truth lies in the middle. As I understand it (please correct me if I am wrong), the problem with undecidables is that they can create non-terminating instances. However, for certain cases the programmer should be able to prove to him/herself that the instances will terminate. My question is: how can you make such a proof?

I've had to cases in particular that made me want undecidables. Both of them, IMO, could be solved by creating new extensions to GHC which would not require undecidables. Nonetheless, for now we only have undecidables at our disposal. The examples are:

* Context synonyms (eg, MonadFailure = Monad + Failure).
* Subclass function defaulting

For an example of the second, a nifty definition of Monad would be:

class Applicative m => Monad m where
 >>= ...
 return ...
 pure = return
 (<*>) = ap
 fmap = liftM

Of course, neither of these is possible in Haskell, so we can use undecidables. How can a programmer prove that a set of instances is, in fact, safe? And if they make a mistake and right a bad set of undecidable/overlapping instances, what's the worst case scenario? Is it a compile-time or run-time error*?

Michael

* Yes, I mean error.

Readily available energy efficiency technologies have been integrated into the design of a student accommodation apartment block in Sunnyside, Pretoria, to provide hot water, says solar water heating and heat pump specialist company SunTank MD Yoram Gur Arie.
The objective of the design is to provide sufficient solar capacity to cater for the entire hot water consumption of the building during sunny weather conditions and use heat pumps to provide the balance during rainy periods.
The 120 kW solar installation will replace about R300 000 of electricity a year, enabling management to pass some savings over to tenants and offer affordable, yet modern, living conditions. Further, the property developer invested in low-flow showers and a hot water consumption monitoring system, enabling immediate identification of wasteful sections in the building.
The solar installation consists of 120 solar collectors, linked to 30 solar storage tanks, each with 400 ℓ storage capacity.
"The interlinking of the components was done in a way that dedicates a section of the solar installation [for each] building section but allows diversion of hot water flow for maintenance purposes. By choosing a product fully developed and manufactured in South Africa after researching the market extensively, the client has confirmed the technological superiority and cost effectiveness of South African-manufactured solar systems," Gur Arie says.
Architect Andre le Roux, of Pretoria architectural firm ALR Architects, and property specialist Johan du Plessis, of CBD Residency, decided to roll out a residential development that will make use of all readily available techniques and technologies to achieve a top energy efficiency rating, create a modern and sustainable environment for tenants and sustainable profitability for the landlord.
According to Du Plessis, applying innovative technologies and long-term thinking as the cornerstone of the design strategy has put his CBD Residency team at the forefront of sustainable developments in the capital city and set a challenging benchmark for others to follow. He promises more energy efficiency innovations in the near future.
"Until recently, the clean and renewable- energy arena was dominated by academics and environmental activists. Recent energy price shocks have brought clean energy solu- tions into the main stream," he concludes.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23 (UPI) -- A month's worth of cave-clearing missions in Afghanistan has done a lot to show American soldiers the utility of robots on the battlefield, a military official said Wednesday at a conference.
Army Col. Bruce Jette, director of the Rapid Equipment Corps, said senior officials decided to give robots from the Army Research Laboratory and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency a chance to perform in the real world by deploying them for Afghanistan missions.
"This wasn't a concept of simply throwing some robots into the soldiers' hands," Jette told a group at the Association of the United States Army's annual meeting. "We knew there were going to be issues about being able to understand exactly what we needed."
Instead of waiting for the end of a planned four-to-six-year deployment schedule, Jette's team was ordered to see if existing models met minimal performance thresholds. The team introduced a couple of systems to teams clearing out cave complexes and buildings, he said, and was fully prepared to brief superiors on failures, which turned out to be unnecessary.
"We got (the robot), we brought it, and now we can't pry it out of (the soldiers') hands," Jette said.
The program was approved May 10 and wrapped up in late August, Jette said. Between July 2 and Aug. 1 this summer, the robots helped clear three bunkers, an ammunition cache, 26 caves, 3 buildings and a walled compound, he said.
An 82nd Airborne Division soldier, with only four hours' training, used a robot to clear 11 large caves in a day, Jette said. Soldiers could swap out regular video cameras and low-light systems on the primary robot when operating deep inside caves, he said.
Jette praised the enthusiasm and cooperation of the team's civilian contractors, who left the United States without a firm contract, which ended up being awarded three days later.
The key to the experiment was developing a single set of hardware and software to control a family of different-sized robots, which previously needed "a truckload" of equipment each, Jette said. The team worked with robot manufacturers and a systems-integration company to insert robot control features into the Army's Land Warrior wearable computer, he said.
The ultimate goal of the research is to create a downloadable software program "to turn Land Warrior into Robot Warrior," Jette said. Even though the prototype system relied on commercial-quality cables and other equipment instead of hardened military components, there were no problems using it in the gritty Afghan terrain, he said.
Such common-platform work is also underway outside the military, said Robin Murphy, a professor of computer engineering at the University of South Florida in Tampa and director of the Center for Robot-Assisted Search and Rescue.
"Everyone would like to see true 'plug and play' capability," Murphy told United Press International via telephone. "What we're really looking for is a common look and feel (for the robot interface)."
Because robots can have radically different structures and abilities, lack of commonality in the controls requires additional training for robot operators, and mistakes can still occur when a person switches platforms, Murphy said.
"It's like the difference between driving a car and a plane; you need separate skills that go beyond dealing with a new steering wheel," she said.

TOA Technologies to Highlight Field Service Management Solutions for Cable Operators of All Sizes at SCTE Cable-Tec Expo
Global provider of mobile workforce management software will demonstrate how to build highly efficient field workforces that extend superior customer service from the sales floor to the customer's door
Oct 16, 2012, 07:16 ET from TOA Technologies
CLEVELAND, Oct. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- TOA Technologies will demonstrate its applications for better mobile workforce and customer experience management at the Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE) Cable-Tec Expo, October 17-19 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. Exhibiting at booth 904, TOA Technologies will show that sophisticated field service management is within reach for cable operators of all sizes.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120829/CL64852LOGO )
At the expo, TOA Technologies will showcase the latest addition to its ETAdirect suite of mobile workforce management solutions. Launched globally in June 2012, ETAdirect Professional distills the power of ETAdirect Enterprise in an affordable application that can deploy in only four weeks. For small and mid-size cable operators, ETAdirect Professional offers a fast, yet powerful solution to increase field workforce productivity, reduce costs and enhance customer service.
"Our goal is to enable the cable industry to provide Service Everywhere™," said Yuval Brisker, co-founder and CEO of TOA Technologies. "To us this means that it doesn't matter where you are or what device you are using - it is all about availability and advanced tools connecting people to provide the ultimate in customer service everywhere."
"TOA has a long history of partnering with the leading MSOs, enabling streamlined operations with an easy to deploy, easy to manage and easy to use solution. For example, seven of the top 11 U.S. pay TV providers depend on our sophisticated field service management solutions to drive results in their business and stay competitive. With ETAdirect Professional, we've extended the best practices learned by partnering with large enterprises like DISH Network, Cox Communications, Bright House Networks and Suddenlink to mid-sized, small and regional cable operators."
"Now, organizations of any size can achieve more efficient field services using our patented, time-based and predictive technology. TOA's ETAdirect is the only mobile workforce management solution that measures time to create performance pattern profiles for each individual field employee. These profiles are then applied to predict, with a high degree of accuracy, when an appointment will occur. The result is truly optimized workforces that are more efficient, achieve cost savings and deliver more satisfied customers due to shorter appointment windows and consistent communication throughout the entire process."
At booth 904, TOA Technologies' experts will be available to consult with operators on how they can leverage the power of cloud-based, predictive, context-aware technology to improve the productivity of their field services and create a superior experience for their customers.
The company's representatives will also participate in SCTE's educational track.

Jayron Kearse commits to Auburn
September, 1, 2011
By Corey Long
As Auburn continues to work on its 2012 class, the Tigers staff is keeping an eye on the future and made a big splash earlier in the week by landing Class of 2013 athlete Jayron Kearse (Fort Myers, Fla./Cypress Lake). The 6-foot-4, 200-pound prospect is the nephew of former Tennessee Titans standout Jevon Kearse. "I just enjoyed the vibe I got from the coaching staff and being around the people in the program," Kearse said. "So I told Coach [Gene] Chizik that I was ready to be a Tiger."

Tumblr has millions of active users, creating 90 million new posts a day.
There are informative sites, funny sites and reflective sites. Throughout the years, some of Tumblr's sites have become so popular some have even gotten book deals – well, 70, to be exact. Tumblr CEO David Karp revealed that number at the paidContent Live event earlier this month.
"What's even more interesting to me than people going through traditional paths are people who are using those new emerging platforms," he said. "What's so exciting to me about Tumblr as a media network today is this new generation of creative commercialization tools that are being built on top of these other networks. People who don't have to go to Harpers to publish the book deal, they can self-publish on Kickstarter instead."
While the percentage of those who have gotten book deals is small based on the amount of blogs out there, what exactly does it take to get noticed?
Here are some Tumblr pages that have books. You're not going to find much literary fiction going on here … no, most of the blogs are filled with goofy pictures, fake text messages and puppies.
One of the most recent Tumblr sites to turn into a book is Text From Dog, which publishes fake text messages from a dog and its owner. Headline published the book on Nov. 12, 2012.
The book form of the Feminist Ryan Gosling Tumblr came out Aug. 14, 2012. According to the book description, it started as a way for author Danielle Henderson and her classmates to track feminist theories. They put feminist theories, sweet talk and Gosling photos together on what became a wildly popular site.
The site was featured in dozens of newspapers and magazines including The Guardian, Marie Claire and Mother Jones.
If Suri Cruise had a blog, this is what it would be like. The author, Allie Hagan, pokes fun at other celebrity children, celebs who are pregnant, and touches on all types of topics.
Yep, puppies dressed as hipsters. This book came out July 5, 2011.
It seems hipsters are also a popular topic for Tumblr blogs turning into books. In this case, Brenna Ehrlich and Andrea Bartz put together a site that found its way onto bookshelves Sept. 1, 2010.

B. 1947 Born in Sri Lanka, but primarily raised in England, Julian Lethbridge studied at Westchester College and Cambridge University (1960-1969). Upon graduation, he began a career as a banker, but by 1972 had moved to New York to paint and draw. His first exhibition of paintings and drawings at Julian Pretto Gallery (1988) was followed within the next year by one-person exhibitions at Paula Cooper Gallery in New York and Daniel Weinberg Gallery in San Francisco. Lethbridge's abstraction is cerebral, often based on mathematical or natural principles. Methodically building up his surfaces with pigment, he then incises them with repeated patterns. In the late 1980s and early 1990s Lethbridge limited his work to shades of black and white, mining the richness of monochromatic painting. More recently he has begun to introduce vibrant colors and more gestural brushwork into his paintings. Lethbridge began printing at ULAE in 1989.

The Drug Years is a four-hour documentary chronicling the rise of illicit drug use in America and its cultural impact in the second half of the twentieth century. This epic recounting of American drug culture is told through dozens of exclusive interviews with actors, musicians, journalists, policy advocates, former drug smugglers, and former drug enforcement agents.
Notable interviews include Peter Coyote, Jackson Browne, Ray Manzarek from The Doors, Ice-T, Liz Phair, Juliette Lewis, Rob Thomas, Common, Tommy Chong, Richard Belzer, ?uestlove, Richard Lewis, Chuck D, Russell Simmons, B-Real, John Mellencamp, and Henry Rollins. These diverse voices help weave the complex tapestry of the American drug culture.
The documentary features never-before-seen film of Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters' legendary acid-fueled bus trip across America in 1964, and rare footage from Woodstock, which illuminates the role drugs played in creating "this beautiful utopian experience, this new Woodstock nation." Later episodes feature exclusive home movies of former drug smugglers and heartbreaking footage of mothers hooked on crack.

Ms Lagarde's lawyer said her Paris apartment was examined as part of an investigation into her handling of a 2008 compensation payment to a businessman supporter of the French ex-president.
Police are investigating claims that Ms Lagarde, when finance minister under Mr Sarkozy, acted illegally in approving the 285m euro (£250m) arbitration payout to Bernard Tapie.
Ms Lagarde in 2007 ordered a panel of judges to arbitrate in a dispute between Mr Tapie and the bank Credit Lyonnais, which led to the disgraced tycoon being awarded the payout.
She denies any wrongdoing.
"This search will help uncover the truth, which will contribute to exonerating my client from any criminal wrongdoing," Ms Lagarde's lawyer, Yves Repiquet, told Reuters.
It was conducted a day after France's budget minister resigned after being targeted in a tax fraud inquiry.
Socialist President Francois Hollande came to power last May vowing to crack down on the cozy relationships between politicians and businessmen he said were rife under Mr Sarkozy.
Ms Lagarde was in Frankfurt and not in her Paris flat at the time of the search, a spokesman for the IMF chief said. She arrived in the city on Tuesday for the Frankfurt Finance Summit.
In the last few days, she has been involved in the discussions over the bailout for Cyprus, amid the country's impending bankruptcy.
She joined the finance ministers of the 17 Eurozone countries in weekend discussions that put together a rescue plan for the beleagured island that involved a raid on savings.
She told Time Magazine that the Cyprus crisis risked spreading to other countries.
Yesterday, the rescue plan put together by the Eurogroup and the IMF was rejected by Cypriot MPs, forcing the search for an alternative solution.
The International Monetary Fund refused to comment on the raid on Wednesday.
"As we have said before, it would not be appropriate to comment on a case that has been and is currently before the French judiciary," said IMF spokesman Gerry Rice in a statement made shortly after the raid.
"Prior to its selection of the Managing Director, however, the IMF's Executive Board discussed this issue and expressed its confidence that Madame Lagarde would be able to effectively carry out her duties as Managing Director," Mr Rice said.
Lagarde, previously France's finance minister, was chosen to lead the global crisis lender in 2011 after her predecessor, ex-French politician Dominique Strauss-Kahn, was forced to resign after being arrested in New York in a scandal involving sex with a hotel chambermaid.

Monday saw the release of "The Black List," the annual listing of the most highly-regarded unproduced scripts floating around Hollywood. The list was assembled from a survey of nearly 300 film executives, who submitted their favorite scripts that they've seen. The criteria is that the scripts may have started filming, but cannot have finished production by the end of the year.
Here are some of the more- and less- intriguing-sounding scripts on the list:
– "Draft Day," the most often-mentioned film on the list, was set for production earlier this year with Kevin Costner and director Ivan Reitman, but fell apart. Written by Rajiv Joseph and Scott Rothman, the script centers on the NFL Draft, with the general manager of the Buffalo Bills playing the hero.
– "Seuss," a biopic of legendary childrens' book author Dr. Seuss (real name Ted Geisel), and his inspiration in writing "The Cat in the Hat." "Seuss" was written by Eyal Podell and Jonathan Stewart.
– "McCarthy," by Justin Kremer, speaking of the blacklist, is a sort of supervillain origin story about Sen. Joseph McCarthy, set in 1951.
– "Rodham," by Young Il Kim, looks at a young Hillary Clinton, as a lawyer on the House Judiciary Committee during Watergate and the early days of her relationship with the future president.
– "Wunderkind," by Patrick Aison, about "a Mossad-employed father and his CIA agent son," teaming up to hunt an aging Nazi.
– "Americatown," by Ben Poole, a "Red Dawn"-like thriller about a China-dominated world and an ex-cop ruling the American ghetto of Hong Kong.
– "Man of Tomorrow," by Jeremy Slate, an alternate-history drama about America trading the city of Chicago to a gangster in exchange for killing Adolf Hitler.
The worst-sounding? I have to go with either "Cherries"- about "three fathers [who] learn of their teenage daughters' pact to lose their virginity on prom night and band together to stop them," which sounds like a disaster even if, as I suspect, the dads aren't played by Adam Sandler, Rob Schneider and Kevin James. Or "Hibernation," about a prison inmate who volunteers for a "hibernation experiment" in exchange for parole. That could only work, I think, if the hero is a bear.

Book review
"A Better Angel": There's something catchy in this soul-stirring collection
"A Better Angel," Chris Adrian's new collection of short stories, proves that suffering doesn't have to break the soul.
Special to The Seattle Times
"A Better Angel"
by Chris Adrian
Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 227 pp., $23
The new collection of short stories by Boston novelist Chris Adrian ("The Children's Hospital") reads like the off-kilter tales of a mad man who sits next to you in the waiting area of a hospital emergency room insisting the world's about to end. His creepy accounts of profound illness, violent aggression, strange visions and hovering doom resonate, and you wind up thinking of them for days afterward. In Adrian's case, we're dealing with a great mind, not a lost one.
The material in "A Better Angel" is close to Adrian's heart, drawn from his background as a pediatrician and divinity school student. Each deals in one way or another with the sometimes uneasy alliance of body and soul, nature and the supernatural.
In "The Vision of Peter Damien," set in what seems to be the 19th century, a boy who never gets sick suddenly is stricken with feverish delusions of planes flying into towers and angels dropping from the sky, an obvious yet darkly imaginative take on the Sept. 11 attacks.
"He felt suspended in the thick transparent air, floaty and full of moonlight," Adrian writes of Peter's first fever.
Mining folk medicine for all it's worth, Adrian has fun exploring the possible diagnoses.
"It might be the orange glanders," Peter's mother says. "Or the willow fever. Or the early early dropsy."
Maybe it's "the creaky doom," his pesky brother offers.
His fever visions become contagious, and his mother and doctor propose all sorts of kooky poultices to heal what, evidently, is a spiritual rather than medical condition, which the boy himself may hold the cure for.
This is a book full of "sad spirits," to borrow an expression from a character in "The Changeling" — in the form of the living, the dead and people stuck between the two.
"The Sum of Our Parts" takes us on a guided psychological tour of a hospital medical staff led by the soul of Beatrice, a suicidal woman who is in a coma and in need of a liver transplant after jumping off a parking garage. She hovers over the employees, reading the snarky and often sexual thoughts they have about each other, only to find that over the weeks, one of the lab technicians has formed a crush on her comatose, physical self. Talk about doomed love.
Coupling with the unfathomable sadness and grief on display in "A Better Angel" is a curious brand of humor, as evidenced in "Stab." A small, country-club community experiences a rash of animal stabbings during the holidays that escalates to household pets and soon to Santa. But the villagers are stupidly blind to the possibility that one of their own is sick enough to do such things. A little boy — it's often a boy who bears the weight of total awareness and conscience in this collection, and females who are the cheeky instigators of mischief — knows the secret.
The title story, "A Better Angel," explores the love-hate bond between a doctor who's watching his father die of a terminal illness and a priggish guardian angel who's followed him since childhood. She thinks he can do more with his healing ways. He's not so sure. "If I were a tree surgeon or a schoolteacher or a truffle-snuffler, or even a plain old junkie, then sickness would just be sickness, just something to be borne and not something I was supposed to be able to defeat," he says.
Adrian proves that suffering, your own or others', doesn't have to break the soul. There's also the promise, if we're ready to see the light, of revelation.

Telefónica, which owns O2 UK, has launched a major restructuring that could see sweeping changes across the business.
The restructuring sees the creation of a Global Resources operating unit to drive profit by leveraging and unlocking economies of scale.
Observers say the move could see Telefónica combining its purchasing power, creating a similar structure to the joint venture procurement company set up earlier this year by France Telecom and T-Mobile.
The new unit will also drive Telefónica's transformation into a global company. This unit will be overseen by Guillermo Ansaldo, until now the head of Telefónica Spain.
Telefónica has also created Telefónica Digital, which will be headquartered in London and headed up by Matthew Key, formerly head of Telefonica Europe. It will have regional offices in Madrid, Sao Paulo, Silicon Valley and certain strategic hubs in Asia.
Its brief is to drive into the digital market as it seeks to go beyond mobile. It aims to leverage any growth opportunities in the market, drive innovation in the digital sphere, strengthen the product and service portfolio and maximise Telefónica's large customer base.
This unit will be made up of 2,500 highly skilled professionals from Telefónica's New Global Services Unit (vertical businesses), Terra, Tuenti, Jajah, Telefónica R+D and Media Networks, among others.
The company will also streamline the business into two large blocks, Europe and Latin America. Operations in Spain will be included in Europe. Observers said the move will allow the Spanish division to be brought into line with the rest of the European group allowing its working practices, which are currently seen as outdated, to be modernised.
José María Alvarez-Pallete, head of Telefónica Latin America until now, will oversee Europe, while Santiago Fernandez Valbuena, previously general manager of strategy, finance and corporate development, will be in charge of Latin America. This change entails the addition of Ángel Vilá to the executive committee as head of finance and corporate development.
The new organisational structure will revolve around a nine-member Executive Committee, backed by a Transformation Committee composed of the company's senior managers.
The company said this structure stems from months of strategic debate lead by Telefónica's executive chairman and with the participation of the company's senior executives.
The company said the strategy was approved today by the executive commission of the board of directors.

Cost objective PLM and CE
Concurrent engineering taking into account product life-cycle factors seems to be one of the industrial challenges of the next years. Cost estimation and management are two main strategic tasks that imply the possibility of managing costs at the earliest stages of product development. This is why it is indispensable to let people from economics and from industrial engineering collaborates in order to find the best solution for enterprise progress for economical factors mastering. The objective of this paper is to present who we try to adapt costing methods in a PLM and CE point of view to the new industrial context and configuration in order to give pertinent decision aid for product and process choices. A very important factor is related to cost management problems when developing new products. A case study is introduced that presents how product development actors have referenced elements to product life-cycle costs and impacts, how they have an idea bout economical indicators when taking decisions during the progression of the project of product development.

The Mighty Quinn Lyrics

on Amazon Music
Some are building monuments,
Others, jotting down notes,
Ev'rybody's in despair,
Ev'ry girl and boy
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,
Ev'rybody's jump for joy.
Come all without, come all...

This song is about Anthony Quinn in the movie "the Savage Innocents" He plays an Eskimo that is liked by everyone and only gets in trouble when he meets white men.
Dylan himself said he was inspired by Anthony Quinn's performance to write the song.
Case closed.

This song would absolutely be about Jesus, if Jesus had been dealing the yeyo.
m320753 Apr 28th, 2014 4:45am report
Bob Dylan in his early career made many references to God and Jesus, In " Masters of War, he says " Even Jesus would never forgive what you do." In with God on our side he sings " Jesus Christ was betrayed by a kiss/ but I can't think for ya/ you'll have to decide whether Judas Iscariot had God on his side. This song is not about drugs, although Dylan used them in the 60s and beyond, he was mainly a wine drinker then switched to Jack Daniels. This song relates to the Old Testament in the Bible, Long ships = Noah's Ark. Monuments = the Tower at Babel Quinn is the Savior the Jews in the old Testament were waiting for.
An awful lot of Dylan's songs have Biblical references, before , during and after he became " Born Again" He may have been among the first Jews for Jesus members who acknowledge Jesus Christ as the Savior, but still cling to the ancient Hebrew Rituals. Just as " Christians for Isreal, both are growing in number of members . That's only my opinion, don't take it personal
anonymous Apr 27th, 2014 4:21pm report
It's obviously about people conforming to a propagandized lifestyle and sinking into group-think, competing with one another for things that don't even matter in the big picture. Where as an "Eskimo" lives a simple lifestyle based on things of true importance, and is closer to what nature intended. And you have to admit it does feel pretty damn good to meet someone "real".

I always thought this song was about herion. It could be about a heroin dealer, it's definitely not about cocaine. I never cared much for suggested or implied meanings, I prefer straght forward. When You listen to Lou Reed's song heroin, between the lyrics and the title there's not much you have to guess at.
LittleQuinn Aug 24th, 2012 8:53pm report
I think Bob Dylan wrote this song about my brother Tommy because he was such a great person that everyone loved.
This song is not about about a drug dealer but about someone that everybody was always exited to see and loved to be with.
We always jumped for joy when Tommy came home. This song came out not long after our brother was murdered in 1968.
This song meant a lot to our family after losing the best big brother that we all had.
From the heart of the USA, Kansas.
anonymous Jul 14th, 2012 7:15am report
In my interpretation, this song is about a metaphorical savior. It could be loosely affiliated with drugs. When he says everyone's building big ships and boats and monuments, it sounds like it could relate to the Vietnam War. It may also be connected to the hectic-like society the '60s came to be. Everyone was looking for a savior, but none ever came.
anonymous Apr 12th, 2012 4:48pm report
Its absolutely one of the first drug songs-many people have referenced the facts in the other feedback here. No artist came right out and admitted to what their drug songs where about-John Lennon claimed Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds was about a picture his son drew. Yea, right.
anonymous Aug 25th, 2011 8:12am report
Bob had a friend named Quincy. I wont give his last name. He supplied bob with coke. Bob in tribute wrote this to him. The people in the song are in need of a "fix" for which Quinn has come to remedy. Its actually a heroin song though bob never dabbled.
anonymous Jul 13th, 2011 7:43pm report
When jesus gets here, everybody's gonna want to doze....
Meaning people will just be to lazy
to accept jesus when he comes.
Yes the song makes sense if it is about jesus
Jay Plastow Jan 23rd, 2011 1:52pm report
The Song The Mighty Quinn is a drug song. In the 60's in the US there was something called a "Power Pack" It was a capsule that had the following ingredients: Mescaline, Meth Amphetamine Hydrochloride USP 90, LSD, and STP. The STP was not what is used in cars. The Mighty Quinn is the British counterpart.
anonymous Apr 1st, 2010 4:17am report
I do have the impression that this song is at least about drugs, and Quinn would then be the drug dealer,
Everybody's in despair until Quinn the Eskimo Comes ? And after that everybody wants to relax ?
Well that's my interpretation,
anonymous Sep 27th, 2007 9:55pm report
In the 1960 movie "The Savage Innocents", Anthony Quinn played Inuk, an Eskimo. (It's on ABC television in the next day if you live in Australia - late at night.) This was shown on TV in 1967, and Bob saw it and was influenced enough by the character that a basement Tapes song resulted.
anonymous Aug 6th, 2007 8:57pm report
There's a good indication that Dylan is referring to a drug dealer, but almost certainly NOT cocaine. This song was written during a time when cocaine was still relatively rare in the US (it didn't go big until the early 80s), but heroin was KING. The specific moods of people and their reactions also point to this: he says "nobody can get no sleep, there's somebody on everybody's toes." When heroin users are jonesing they feel and act just like this ---uncomfortable, restless and fidgety. But when Quinn arrives, 'everybody's gonna wanna doze." heroin is a narcotic e.g. Sleep-inducing drug. It creates a feeling of deep relaxatrion and users appear to drift off and doze, so much so that in some areas it's said they are "on the nod" because their head nods and drops as if they've fallen asleep.
I therefore posit that Quinn is the local heroin dealer.
anonymous Apr 30th, 2007 4:07am report
It is most likely not about Jesus because Dylan was a Jew when this song was written.

'The Mob Doctor' Is Caught Between Two Worlds
The Mob Doctor could have just as easily been called The Good Doctor, given the debt it owes to The Good Wife, specifically, its revamping of the serial procedural.
Grace Devlin (Jordana Spiro) is a surgical resident at a prestigious Chicago hospital. However, as the title of her TV series, The Mob Doctor, plainly announces, she does some work for the mafia on the side. Her servitude to organized crime is due to a deal with violent mob boss Paul Moretti (Michael Rappaport) to get her brother (Jesse Lee Soffer) out of a gambling debt. Unfortunately, while Grace is an able doctor, she's a less successful negotiator; her agreement with Moretti is completely open-ended, leaving her on 24-hour call both to him and to the hospital.
The Mob Doctor could have just as easily been called The Good Doctor, given the debt it owes to The Good Wife, specifically, its revamping of the serial procedural. At its core, The Good Wife is a standard lawyer show with a weekly case or two that is wrapped up at the end of the episode. But the show has been lauded because of the initial premise of a political wife forced to rethink her life due to her husband's public scandal, that is, the focus on the woman. What has sustained the show over three seasons are the rich characterizations of Alicia (Julianna Margulies) and her colleagues that have emerged during the various crises and cases they take on, whether as a team and as adversaries.
Similarly, The Mob Doctor resembles the conventional medical procedure. In the pilot episode, airing 17 September, Grace is confronted with three patients, each with a storyline to be resolved by the end of the episode. As in other medical shows, from ER and House to Grey's Anatomy and Crossing Jordan, the patients are occasions for displays of the doctors' ingenuity, cases to be solved more than characters. As such, they're pretty predictable, in part because we've seen just about every indignity and horror that screenwriters can dream up for the human body. The Mob Doctor doesn't press the novelty angle as much as say, House, which seems a wise decision on the writers' part. Instead, each patient poses a moral dilemma that highlights Grace's own ongoing predicament. None of these presents an easy solution.
Even if the array of cases seems formulaic, The Mob Doctor is not only another procedural. Like The Good Wife, it features strong relationships among diverse characters. Grace is trapped between the hospital and the mafia, and her family is stuck there with her. Having grown up on the South Side, she is more familiar and even comfortable around the criminals she knows than the doctors where she works. During the premiere episode, Grace shares a warm exchange with Constantine Alexander (William Forsythe), a former mob boss recently released from prison, who knows her family and is somewhat of a father figure to her.
The complexity of this relationship is not replicated in any Grace has with her medical associates. At the hospital, she's hiding something, of course, and so she remains removed, even from her boyfriend, fellow doctor Brett Robinson (Zach Gilford). She does have a formidable mentor in Chief of Surgery Stafford White (Zeljko Ivanek), who may be the only person on the show with the gravitas to battle Alexander for Grace's soul. (We can only hope that eventually Forsythe and Ivanek will face off on screen; the two actors have done some of the best work on TV in recent years as truly terrifying supporting characters on shows like Boardwalk Empire and Big Love.)
As she tries to accommodate -- or mollify -- both mentors, Grace makes choices that affect everyone around her. These include not only the life-and-death decisions typical of the hospital show, but also ethical calls regarding loyalties and betrayals. Even though the show is careful to stress that Grace's situation is not her fault, she embodies an intriguing moral ambiguity, suggesting that it might not have taken too much of a nudge for her to have chosen the mafia route from the start, rather than going into legitimate medicine.
While Grace must seek to do right, The Mob Doctor is most compelling when she has to sort out what that is, and also when she has to justify what she does wrong. By the end of the pilot, after one especially satisfying twist in the narrative, we're left with the idea that a series of nets are tightening around Grace. The police have taken notice of her. The mafia has pulled her in closer. Her coworkers at the hospital are building up a list of grievances and suspicions. All of this suggests that the serial will continue to be served by the procedural, and not the other way around.

Microsoft recently announced it's own multi-seat solution,Windows MultiPoint Server 2010, seven years after Userful pioneered the technology on Linux back in 2002. Another classic of Linux vs Windows, but this time Linux has is in the lead with Userful having already sold 750,000 seats.
And the company has just released Userful Multiplier V3.7 adding improved multilingual support among other features, making it possible for even more countries to take advantage of the cost savings of Userful.
Over 10 Linux distributions are supported including Ubuntu 9.10, SLED 11, and Fedora 11. Userful is available in 64-bit and 32-bit packages in both RPM and DEB formats, making it compatible with virtually all open source software.
Much like Windows MultiPoint, Userful virtual desktops allow up to ten
students to simultaneously and independently share a single PC, eac with their own monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Userful also supports many of the same USB multiseat devices as Windows MultiPoint, making it easy to turn one computer into many.
Unlike Windows MultiPoint which requires users to purchase a Windows Server license and a separate client access license (CAL) per seat, Userful's solution uses free Linux for the server, reducing the cost to just $69 per
"We think Microsoft joining us in the multiseat space is great news, as it underscores the worldwide demand for multi-seat computing, a demand Userful has been satisfying for seven years now shipping Userful Multiplier for Linux." said Tim Griffin (right) President of Userful Corp.
Tough economic conditions, budget pressures, and funding shortfalls in the US have led more K-12 school districts to embrace the hardware, maintenance, space, and electricity savings of Userful multi-seat Linux desktops.
Mature OS application
Much the way Microsoft scrambled to prevent Linux's desktop threat on Netbooks, Microsoft is now taking action on multi-seat where it has watched entire states and countries move to desktop Linux. But Free Linux and OS software provide cost savings and flexibility that Windows simply can't match.
Deploying Linux based computer infrastructure frees governments from
Microsoft dependence, allowing them to engage local companies to source and customise a Linux distribution and OS software stack uniquely suited to their regional needs. Governments are also able to engage local companies to source all hardware for deployments, since Userful has broad support for standard computer hardware including low-cost video cards, not requiring any proprietary hardware.
Userful desktop virtualisation software is based on the simple fact: PCs sit mostly idle while we e-mail, surf the web, or type a document. Userful's PC sharing technology leverages unused computing power to create a high performance, an environmentally efficient alternative to stand-alone PCs with thin clients that offers the features of a full PC for $69 per seat, a cost effective solution for school computer labs,classrooms and libraries.
"It's hard to say no to a mature technology that allows you to deploy
over twice as many desktops for the same budget, while also slashing
maintenance and electricity costs," says Sean Rousseau, Userful marketing
manager. "And three years down the road, instead of having to replace a mountain of obsolete computers, only 1 out of every 10 desktops will need replacing. That's the long term sustainability that schools need."
A free 2-user version of Userful Multiplier software for personal or trial use is available.

Clairefontaine Roadbook. I took the Clairefontaine Roadbook with me on my recent trip to NYC to use as a daily journal to keep track of where we went and what we saw every day. It was also used as a sketchbook and fountain pen tester. Prior to leaving I added my own little pocket in the back, out of a piece of paper from a multimedia sketchbook.
This little notebook held up very well throughout the whole trip, with only one complaint: the glue on the front and back covers did not hold very well, although the glue on the spine remained intact. With this one exception, it performed admirably. Oh, yeah, they really should add the pocket.
