General Mofaz Runs for Office (Continued)
Mofaz's office states in response: "Amos Uzani was fired by the minister against the background of a chain of failures and irregularities that were found in Haifa Port under his deficient management. Everything he says is motivated by personal revenge and does not merit a response. Mendi Zaltsman was chosen director general of Haifa Port responsibly and with full public transparency by a search committee headed by the chairman of the board of Haifa Port, engineer Ben Zion Salman, who is a former director general of the Ministry of Transportation."
Existential threat
In a newspaper interview in June of this year, Mofaz said, "All the options are on the table. If there is no choice, and the possibility that will emerge is [either] a nuclear Iran or a military strike before that, Israel's choice is clear." His remarks were reported around the world and sparked the sharpest one-day rise in the price of oil since 1991.A month later, Mofaz stated in a talk he delivered in Washington that Iran was on the brink of a major breakthrough in its nuclear program and that this was an intolerable situation. Again the price of oil jumped. Mofaz was widely criticized, in Israel and abroad. The approach of the Israeli leadership is that Israel should not be the spearhead of international criticism of Iran?s nuclear project, and that it is preferable not to talk about the subject publicly. Mofaz, a former chief of staff and defense minister, should be more aware of this than almost anyone else.
"Mofaz is not prone to slips of the tongue," says one of his former supporters. "He prepares for every interview. I think this is what he believes and therefore it is what he said. It was not a chance thing." The same conclusion can be reached from a perusal of the response on Mofaz's behalf: "The Iranian threat is an existential threat to Israel, and no one should make light of it. Minister Mofaz is in charge of the strategic dialogue with the United States, at the center of which is the Iranian issue, and he has dealt with the subject in depth for the past 15 years in the various positions he has held. The minister believes that Israel?s security is more important than this or that fluctuation in the price of oil."
But his supporters are irritated by the repeated remarks about Iran. "He believes what he says, but I don't see the rationale," a central activist says. "At last he gathered the courage to say something, so he is attacked for it, Nissan Khakshouri says, outraged."

welcome home vets
The flags are flying on the bridge today because March 30 has been designated as "Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day" by a resolution of Congress.
Thanks in no small measure go to the efforts of Senator Richard Burr, ranking member of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee and Representative Linda Sanchez in the House.
However belated, the recognition of the service and sacrifice of those of us who served in Southeast Asia during the years of what was then America's longest war, it is appreciated. For far too long citizens of all political persuasions blamed those who served for the failures of those who led, those officials whose military as well as political policies failed.
Returning veterans were not welcomed by a grateful nation; instead, many were ignored at best, scorned at worst. The psychological issues faced by many Vietnam vets can be traced not simply to what they experienced in Vietnam but to their experience on their return home.
Perhaps America has grown up. Today, Americans embrace those who have volunteered for military service and have placed themselves in harm's way whether they agree or disagree with the mission in Iraq or Afghanistan.
Chapter 757 Vietnam Veterans of America, Brookings-Harbor, would like to say, "Welcome Home - Thank you for your service" to all veterans. Our National slogan is: "Never Again Will One Generation of Veterans Abandon Another".

bankruptcy option
Without asking for input from cities within the county or the general public, our commissioners are asking us to vote for a tax levy that will increase every property owner's taxes by approximately 25 percent, and the levy will only benefit law enforcement.
Some people will see an increase greater than 25 percent.
Commissioners continue to tell us how vital this levy is to the future of our county and yet they have not scheduled even one town hall meeting or public forum where citizens can listen to the three commissioners and then voice their concerns.
David Brock Smith can write newspaper articles and the sheriff can continue his discussions, but until our elected leaders have open meetings at times working people can attend, they are doing a poor job of convincing voters of the need for this enormous tax increase.
Thousands of county employee man-hours are currently being wasted on weeklong budget presentations that have little to do with the proposed levy. Why are commissioners not convening evening public meetings so all citizens can voice their opinion?
Less than two months from now we will vote for or against the levy and what are our leaders doing to advance this plan? We still have not heard one word from commissioners regarding promised cuts to their salaries, or any meaningful savings from current labor negotiations with the two unions representing county employees. PERS (Public Employees Retirement System) and insurance benefits have still not been addressed.
State Representative Bruce Hanna's bill HB 2924 would allow a county to declare bankruptcy. This path appears to be the only viable option for our county. A state takeover could not possibly be worse than the local leadership we are currently experiencing.

print problem away
Hi, Chuck Grove here.
I hereby announce my candidacy for president of the United States.
And this is my platform:
Our worst problem right now seems to be mostly financial (forget about morality); so what I propose to do is really quite simple: I will issue every American an approved printing press. Just hook it up to your computer, and, voila! You're printing your own money! For whatever you need, in whatever amount necessary - just print away!
This is a tried and proven method of raising money, which the old and venerable Federal Reserve has used non-stop for many, many years.
Just imagine! No more worries about a job, or that iffy Social Security check, or bank closures, none of that stuff. Just print away! Make sure you don't run out of paper, and you will never want for anything again!
Just be sure you vote for me in the next election - if there is one.

services summit
Calling all service and non-profit organization leaders!
The Friends of the Chetco Community Public Library will host the annual Service Organization Summit Friday April 19, at 8 a.m. in the large meeting room of the Chetco Community Public Library.
The purpose of this meeting is to get to know each other and to identify service resources available to meet needs in our community. Goals include developing and updating a contact and resource list to be available at the library as well as on the library web site, an events calendar, and partnering. Exchanging information about our missions and goals could lead to other possible goals.
We invite you or a representative of your organization to attend and participate. This meeting will be informal and simply to get acquainted. Plan to give a brief presentation of your organization's service work, goals, and future events. Coffee will be ready at 7:30 a.m. Meeting starts at 8 a.m., ends at 9 a.m. RSVP at 469-0551 or email@example.com.
Tony Parrish,
Friends of the
this citizen cares
A great big thanks to the Curry Coastal Pilot for the excellent editorial support rendered to our No Name-Calling efforts and the movie showing of "Bully." Also special thanks to the Redwood Cinema, Fred Meyer, Dairy Queen, Wayne Tailor Insurance, Brookings Sign, KHSU, KURY, U.S. Bank, Kerr Ace Hardware, Judge Beaman, Chetco Public Library, District 17C School Board, and Written in Stone in Crescent City.
For those who missed the "Bully" movie, it is available at the Chetco Public Library, as a rental at Brookings' video stores, and for sale at Fred Meyer. If there's enough interest, we'll hold another public screening. Let us know at http://bit.ly/14mIKJd
Let's ensure that everything that can be done is being done to make school a safer experience for all students - in the cafeteria and halls, going to and from school - so that no child fears going to school because of bullying. To this end we've provided a copy of "Bully" to each school building principal with the hope that they will hold a staff showing and discussion of the movie.
And parents, at your next teacher's conference, ask them what they thought of the movie and how they think it applies to the students' experience in their school.
Finally, Alcohol Awareness Month starts April 1. Eighty-eight BHHS seniors submitted an essay for the annual "Through My Eyes" essay contest on how alcohol has impacted their lives. The top 25 essays can be found at http://bit.ly/13nK2nT and the top eight essays will appear in an edition of the Pilot during the month of April. Check out what our senior have to say.

happy with the noise
We've been getting the Curry Pilot, especially the letters section from different people from the surrounding area.
We usually agree with most; however, some time ago, one was from a lady in Brookings complaining about the lumber mill making too much noise, and just recently we saw another. This time, about a another person complaining about vehicles honking horns in response to greetings to each and everyone he - Mr. Ira Tozer - met along the highway, where he took his daily walks.
I for one, would like to know what is wrong with folks like those.
I've met Mr. Tozer, who is a very kind and decent individual who should have been welcomed in return as maybe an ambassador of goodwill, representative of the area, instead of complained about.
Now, as to the lumber mill's noise, we live with one-half mile of it, and have for a few years. Its noise doesn't bother us, nor any neighbors, that we know of. Everyone should be happy that other folks are working and making a living.
I'm sorry for those folks who think differently. They are to be pitied.
Thank you, Ira Tozer and thank you, Mr. Editor.

this is our world
Friday dawned clear and cold. Stars faded into yellow and red clouds.
Daffodils, crocuses and a fat robin announced spring. Thrush was overdosing on pill-bugs under the leaves. The next-door gardener pounded a pan with a wooden spoon to chase the deer away. A calm ocean meant clear sightings of the lighthouse, fishing boats, and whale spouts.
A gray whale was at the far marker, another just outside the kelp beds. The red buoy hosted the seal lions for a game of tag. Gulls massed over clouds of anchovies. Chevrons of geese were off to Alaska. Two decided to investigate the osprey nest as a possible summer retreat. Saturday was again clear and calm. The gulls, sea lions, and whales were in their spots.
Now, Sunday is a repeat. Middle son has been fishing, gave his steelhead to a friend. Golfers had to wait while deer cleared the greens. My cousin still remembers being amused by "real" river otters. We all remember watching from the safety of the truck as the bear made a meal out of a garbage can.
These are the reasons that we live here. This is our world, and we should share it with others. Invite them over from the Valley, or SFO or POX or MCI.
It is not right that we scare our visitors with car-eating mud slides or hospital threatening takeovers.
It is unwise to risk losing our awesome coast to the forces of lawlessness and chaos.
Dr. Lawrence Witt
not old and crusty
I am writing because I am apparently one of the "upper crust" golfers at Salmon Run.
Perhaps the public that feels we are such individuals meant we are old and crusty. The individuals I golf with are those who have worked hard for a living and are doing what they want to do in their retirement years.
Salmon Run does in no way have a country-club atmosphere. As far as I know there are no doctors, and very few attorneys who play golf there.
We, as members of this fine facility, can only hope that in the end the golf course remains open. It is a great asset to the community.
For those of you who have never seen the course, I invite you to come out and look it over and then decide whether it should remain open or not. I would be willing to bet most of you would say "Wow," and perhaps take up this very fun sport.
Also you could then be one of the "upper crust."

Not a County Road
Mr. McGahey's accusation that Curry County is responsible for repairs to Sundown Drive as stated in his letter to the editor, published on March 27, 2013 is not accurate.
Sundown Drive is not now nor has it ever been a county road for which Curry County has responsibility for maintenance or improvement. Oregon Revised Statute 368.016 tells us that a public road is made a county road by resolution or order. No such resolution or order was ever done for Sundown Drive.
Sundown Drive is a public road established by deed. Public roads that are not maintained by a county, state or federal agency are defined in Oregon Revised Statutes as local access roads. The state statutes further stipulate that a county and its officers, employees or agents are not liable for failure to improve the local access road or keep it in repair. Hence Curry County has no liability for maintaining or repairing Sundown Drive.
Creation of a Special Road District in order to provide long term funds for road maintenance is probably the best option for the residents of Sundown Drive.

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), in a Web video released Friday, bestowed the moniker "PerryCare" on Texas Gov. Rick Perry's (R) mandate that teenage girls in Texas receive HPV vaccines.
The video signals an effort by Bachmann to take back control of an issue that started out as a major boost to her campaign but quickly unraveled into a liability.
"Whether it's ObamaCare or PerryCare, I oppose any governor or president who mandates a family's healthcare choices and violates the rights of parents on these issues," Bachmann says in the video. "Especially if the decision-making process occurs behind closed doors, bypassing legislative action, and favors campaign contributors over families."
Under Perry's mandate, parents may opt their daughters out of the vaccination program.

Manufacturing Council adds new members
Rockwell Automation's Mike Laszkiewicz named chairman of 26-member council
U.S. Deputy Secretary of Commerce Rebecca Blank today announced the appointment of 26 members to the 2013 Manufacturing Council. Established in 2004 and directed by the Department of Commerce's International Trade Administration, the council helps to ensure that there is regular communication between the U.S. government and the manufacturing sector.
The 26-member council represent a diverse cross section of the manufacturing industry, including steel, textile, semiconductor, and medical manufacturers. Their products support a wide range of industries such as the auto, apparel, aerospace, and energy efficiency sectors.
"Keeping our manufacturing sector strong is critical to job growth in the United States," Blank said. "The Department of Commerce is focused on supporting U.S. manufacturers as they build things here, so they can sell them everywhere. The council has an important role to play in shaping the direction of our nation's manufacturing strategy and supporting American businesses and workers."
"The U.S. economy depends on a strong manufacturing sector," said Mike Laszkiewicz, vice president and general manager of Rockwell Automation, and newly appointed chair of the Council. "I am pleased to chair this important committee. I look forward to working with the Department of Commerce and presenting the U.S. government with new suggestions to strengthen American manufacturing and global competitiveness."
The council advises the Secretary of Commerce on government policies and programs that affect U.S. manufacturing and provides a forum for proposing solutions to industry-related problems. The council also works to ensure that the United States remains the preeminent destination for investment in manufacturing throughout the world. The Secretaries of Labor, Energy, and Treasury serve as ex officio members of the council to better collaborate on cross-cutting issues the Council will address.
The Department of Commerce reports that the United States is the world's largest manufacturing economy, employing nearly 12 million Americans in 2012, and responsible for the production of $1.7 trillion in manufactured products in 2011, or 11.5 percent of U.S. GD

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

Starting this fall, all second graders in D.C. public schools will learn to ride in PE class
Before the start of the new school year in Washington, D.C., as families were buying supplies and teachers were drafting their lesson plans, Miriam Kenyon was spending her days in a warehouse in the city's Northeast quadrant, surrounded by bikes.
She and a group of volunteers were building them: Diamondback Vipers and Mini Vipers, 16- and 20-inch kids' models. "They're BMX bikes, so they're really sturdy and they're made for multiple uses," explains Kenyon, the director of health and physical education at District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS).
All the bikes in the warehouse—a huge fleet numbering 475—had to be ready by the time the first bell rang on August 24. Once assembled, they were divvied up and shipped to elementary schools for a novel educational experiment.
City Makers: Global Shifts
The goal: to teach every second grader in the city's school system how to ride a bike.
"Every kid should know how to ride a bike," Kenyon says. "It's a great way not only to get to school, but to exercise, and to see your city. It promotes independence."
Bike safety instruction is fairly common in schools around the United States. In D.C., the nonprofit Washington Area Bicyclist Association sends instructors into schools as part of the national Safe Routes to School program. The instructors teach safety basics and bring in bikes and helmets so the kids can practice their skills.
But that's not the same thing as teaching kids how to ride, which typically doesn't happen at school. Dan Hoagland, WABA's education director, started noticing on his school visits that "large cohorts of students" in D.C. couldn't ride at all. He talked about it with Kenyon. "In the back of my mind, as I ran these programs, I thought, 'How do we figure out a way to more comprehensively approach bike education for kids?'"
Earlier this year, Kenyon discovered how: through a DCPS initiative called Cornerstones. New this fall, Cornerstones assigns common projects to students across the city—a core curriculum in miniature, basically. Officials hope it will improve academic rigor and narrow the achievement gap that separates affluent and poor, white and black students.
When Cornerstones was announced, Kenyon saw her opportunity and grabbed it. Bike-riding instruction could become a Cornerstone project in physical education. The District Department of Transportation agreed to fund the purchase of 475 bikes, and a universal bike-riding program—the first of its kind in a U.S. school district—was born.
This ride brought to you by Turning Wheels for Kids. These are 2 of the Habitat for Humanity families, from Morgan Hill, out for a summer time ride. Thanks, TWFK, for making this possible! We live our bikes and the freedom and fun they provide us!

Victims of Catholic child sex abuse to hear evidence from Pope's confidante
CHILDREN who were abused by Catholic priests will fly to Rome to hear from a major ally of Pope Francis.
Cardinal George Pell (l), finance minister to Pope Francis (r) will address a sex abuse commission
Victims of historic sex crimes will witness the pontiff's finance minister give evidence to a royal inquiry.
Ailing Cardinal George Pell, 74, will speak from Rome to a commission in Australia, where the abuse took place.
A judge running the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse said Cardinal Pell could testify via video link because he is ill.
A hearing of the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse in Australia
But some affected by the scandal, which has been rumbling in Australia for decades, will make the trip to Rome to be there in person.
Cardinal Pell, a native of Ballarat, a one-time hotbed of abuse, will be charged with explaining how church bosses responded to the abuse claims at the time.
Some accuse him of trying to quash lawsuits from victims and prioritising protecting the reputation and cash of the Church.
Anthony Foster, whose two daughters were raped by the same priest, said he booked flights to Rome for himself and his wife hours after McClellan gave permission.
Cardinal Pell, Australia's most senior Catholic, is an ally of Pope Francis (pictured)
The couple blame the abuse for one daughter's suicide and for the other being left severely disabled when she was hit by a car while drunk.
Mr Foster said: "It's really important, the evidence that he's giving, and we wanted victims here to know that there was someone from their support group watching it happen."
At least 15 victims and supporters will head to Rome to hear the evidence in person after a crowd funding campaign raised more than £100,000.
The Fosters, who are critical of Pell's responses to their daughters' abuse, are paying their own way.
Another victim of cleric abuse at a Catholic school in Ballarat, Paul Tatchell, said he worried that victims' focus on Pell may distract from the inquiry's work.
He said: "I'm no fan of George Pell, but I'm just concerned that some of these things will give the impression of a witch hunt."
Pell, whom the pope placed in charge of the Vatican's finances in 2014, was to testify next Monday for a third time at the royal commission.
The inquiry ruled this month that the cardinal could give evidence by video from Rome because he was too ill to fly to Australia.
Pell said in a statement last week that he would cooperate with whatever arrangements the royal commission made for his testimony.
A hotel room in central Rome has been selected as the venue for Pell's testimony.
He is to give evidence about how church authorities responded to allegations of child sex abuse in Ballarat and in Melbourne, Australia's second-most populous city after Sydney.
He is accused of creating a victims' compensation program mainly to protect the church's assets and of using aggressive tactics to discourage victims' lawsuits while he was a bishop in Australia.
Pell has denied any wrongdoing.

What better dessert for a kid-centered outdoor movie night than cupcakes? Especially when you have 150 or so guests to feed.
The fact that the cupcakes look like utterly adorable tiny tubs of popcorn? Bonus!
Popcorn Cupcakes Tutorial
- striped paper baking cups
- your favorite cake batter
- mini marshmallows
- corn syrup
- broiler
Bake your favorite cupcake recipe right in grease-proof striped baking cups. The paper of the cup is sturdy, so you don't need to use a cupcake tin, and thick enough that even the darkest chocolate cupcakes didn't mar the look of the red and white stripes.
Once the cupcakes have baked and cooled, paint the tops of the cupcakes with corn syrup.
Arrange the mini marshmallows on the sticky domes of the cupcakes, packing them tightly so that as little of the cupcake shows as possible. On some of the cupcakes, I snipped the marshmallows almost in half with a pair of kitchen scissors. It looked cute, but not dramatically better than just using unaltered mini marshmallows. Since I was making 150 cupcakes, I opted for the still-awesome-but-less-time-consuming variation.
Place the marshmallow-topped cupcakes back in the oven, but this time under the broiler. Only for a few seconds, though! Watch the cupcakes very carefully; you're looking for the marshmallows to puff and brown slightly.
I ended up doing four or six cupcakes at a time under the broiler. More seemed to be a little too much to handle for this delicate operation. I only had to hear my daughter exclaim "Mommy! The cupcakes are on fire!" once to learn this lesson. ;-) Don't get distracted and try to do anything else while doing the broiling step like I did!
When the marshmallows begin to brown, remove immediately from the oven and let cool. You'll have a sweet simulacrum of popcorn perfect for a summer evening watching movies with friends and family.

A recent photo posted by Iraqi singer Shatha Hassoun on her official page on the social network Facebook of her wearing a wedding gown confused fans. Members on Shatha's page swarmed her with questions regarding the photo wanting to know when, who and where.
According to the internet website MBC.net, fans who saw the photo failed to read the caption that was posted along with the photo saying that the photo is a scene from her latest music video for the song "Meen Ili Ma Indo Madi" (Who doesn't have a past?), which has not yet been released.
Shatha promised all her fans that the clip will be released in the very near future. The video was filmed in the UAE under the direction of Iraqi director Yaser AL Yasiry.

Ubuntu Brainstorm. What comes to mind? For me, it's a wealth of new ideas for Ubuntu from a lively and diverse group of people who really want to see Ubuntu become even more incredible. It's more amazing than unicorns!
Have you been to Ubuntu Brainstorm lately? Are you on your way to UDS-N (or there already)? Now would be a great time to review the most popular ideas and perhaps include some of them in your discussions. Maybe pick the top 5 and see what it would take to implement them.
According to the site, there are currently zero ideas in development. That doesn't seem right.
I'm going to blog about this in an upcoming post. Specifically more on the idea to move ideas to Launchpad. Stay tuned. (Or, if you have some suggestions, please let me know.)
Most of the ideas belong upstream, and as we all know, Canonical/Ubuntu are notoriously bad at upstreaming things; patches, translations and now ideas.
YMMV = Your Mileage May Vary
When I read things like "as we all know" from an anonymous commenter then I think there's a certain burden of proof owed to all of us.
So, what percentage of patches, translations, and ideas are upstreamed? How does this percentage compare with other popular OS'es?
Developers do not look into something so abstract as brainstorm. They work in much lower level. Developers follow there bug tracker. What is not in bugtracking system it just now exists for them. Reading thousands of post in brainstorm to get one info is also big waste of time for them.
What I think Ubuntu is failing is to connect this two words "abstract" brainstorm with actual bug-features requests in bugtrackers. So there should be some human power invested to summarize the best ideas from brainstorm and file a bug / feature request in bugtracker. Only when idea is landed in bug tracker developers get it noticed. But also don't push to much ideas to developers, because they will likely write, please use brainstorm for producing ideas - which is probably right because 100 posts replying on bug (idea) does not make a developer easy job on what shout be done. They waste time reading an endless debate of arguments instead of fixing bugs or adding new features.
This is business (ideas) vs. engineer debate. But to bridge them together there should be some business engineer that filters good ideas according to engineer knowledge what is possible to produce in existing framework. To make them easy job there should be developed integration between brainstorm in launchpad.
Now in launchpad are the following topics at the top:
Overview, Code, Bugs, Blueprints, Translations, Answers. There should also be Ideas (from brainstorm integration).
I disagree that developers "don't look". I think they do, but we need more people looking (and taking action) ;)
I like your idea of integrating "Ideas" into Launchpad. It makes sense to tightly couple all of the activities around development. "Ubuntu Brainstorm" and the Ubuntu Stack Exchange site are prime candidates for inclusion. (Both take potentially valuable input and segregate it.)

This post is part of a series.
New Geographies of Feminist Art: China, Asia + the World is a conference happening all weekend (you can go) at the Henry Art Gallery, where you can also see exhibitions of Jeffry Mitchell's fat-with-life ceramics, the intangibility experiments of artists from Tom Friedman to Louise Lawler in Now Here Is Also Nowhere, and Pipilotti Rist's video that runs all over your body.
UW contemporary art scholar Sonal Kullar has just begun to speak (that's not her above), and she's kicking things off with some great recent works, starting with Mona Hatoum's Traffic (below). Hatoum is also represented in Elles at SAM, in a chamber you enter, where you then stand on top of a video that climbs, colonoscopically, down a throat, along a set of intestines.
A word I've just heard for the first time: "identitarianism." I do not quite know what it means here yet.

Terra Nova High football coach Bill Gray announced his retirement Monday morning.
Gray, 66, was a head football coach in Pacifica for 42 years, 23 at Terra Nova and 19 at Oceana. He also coached Oceana to four consecutive section championships in wrestling from 1983-86.
He retires with 256 wins in football, third-most in Central Coast Section history behind Benny Pierce of Saratoga with 269 and Butch Cattolico of Los Gatos with 264.
"Those kinds of things are irrelevant," Gray said. "It boils down to what is right for the program and for me personally. I have medical issues, physical issues that need to be addressed. As a football coach and athletic director, I wasn't able to take care of those things."
Gray, who declined to get into specifics about his health, said he will remain as athletic director for the remainder of the school year. He said he made his decision to retire over winter break and announced his decision to the team Monday morning.
"Coach Gray retiring, literally the most jaw dropping news I've ever heard in my whole life," Terra Nova quarterback Anthony Gordon said in a tweet. "Football will never be the same without the big dog."
Gray won two CCS championships, a Division II North title in 1987 at Oceana and a Division III title in 2010 at Terra Nova. He had a career record of 98-94-2 from 1972-1990 at Oceana, 158-82-4 from 1991-2013 at Terra Nova.
"To remain successful it takes a tremendous amount of energy," Gray said. "At my age with my health issues I'm not able to give it the time it needs. Despite the fact that you enjoy it, the anxiety, stress and lack of sleep was taking years off the end of my life. The right thing to do for the program is to have a younger, more energetic coach."
Terra Nova has won the last five Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division championships. The Tigers went 10-0 in the 2013 regular season before a 26-7 loss to Valley Christian in the first round of the CCS Open Division playoffs.
"I'm very comfortable with where the program is right now," Gray said. "But when you get up in the morning and feel you can't do it anymore, it's time to leave."

dvb_core installed but still no /dev/dvb
According to the dvb documentation that comes with the 2.6.7 kernel the dvb_core module is supposed to make the /dev/dvb stuff... but I have that module loaded but no device, what can I do??
Well since no one else answered I'll take a stab at it. Since you are using a2.6.x kernel with Slackware 10, udev will be in use. My understanding of udev is that since there is not a rule for node creation of the dvb, it won't get added.
You will need to add a line to your /etc/udev/rules.d/udev.rules to create the node.
my guess is that it should be:
KERNEL="dvb" NAME="media/%k", SYMLINK="%k"
Look in the udev.rules comments for more info as well as man udev.
According to udev man page, if no rule is found the default kernel device name should be used, so this the advice above may not help. Is there a dvb_core somewhere in one of the subdirectories maybe?
EDIT: Did a google for "dvb udev" and most of the links seem to say dvb is not supported in udev yet. This one gives a possible answer that might work. There was also one mailing list entry that mentions a patch but I don't know enough about the subject to know if it is applicable. Hopefully that should get you headed in the right direction.
Hey Mephisto, thats for all the info. I think for now what I might just end up doing is running a script in my startup that creates the devices...
I tried the script and editing the udev config file... but nothing worked:confused: All this diffculty is bringing back the good old days about a year ago when I started with linux!
Hey I downloaded the drivers from linuxtv.org... just to see if they were the same. In the INSTALL file it says
I downloaded the cvs of the drivers and these seem to make the missing devices

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said the recent "horrific incidents" that have caused racial unrest at the University of California San Diego must stop.
"The acts of racism and intolerance that we have witnessed are completely unacceptable and I join with the University of California president, chancellors and student leaders in condemning these terrible incidents," Schwarzenegger said in a statement released Saturday afternoon. "There is no excuse for this kind of behavior in our system of higher education or anywhere else and it will not be tolerated."
Three high-profile episodes with racial overtones involving UCSD students have occurred in the past two weeks, leading many black students and others to say they now fear for their safety on campus.
The turmoil was sparked by an off-campus party Feb. 15, dubbed the "Compton Cookout," that mocked Black History Month, and further stoked by a show on a student-run TV station that supported the party and called blacks ungrateful, using a racial slur.
Then a noose was discovered Thursday night hanging in the UCSD library, which led about 150 students to stage a sit-in in Chancellor Marye Anne Fox's office the following day to demand the university push harder to boost enrollment of blacks and other disadvantaged minorities.
Fox told the students Friday that the racial incidents were "abhorrent and untenable."

Thanks for voting for Mukilteo schools | Letter
Editor, The Beacon:
On behalf of the Citizens' Team for Mukilteo Schools, we are profoundly grateful for voter support for both the levy and bond last week.
Continuation of the levy will allow the school district to maintain its tradition of academic excellence. We are particularly pleased that voters approved the bond, reaching that very difficult super-majority threshold.
This means that Mukilteo students will have more adequate space and the technology necessary for rigorous curriculum and student assessments. Resources also will finally be available to provide much needed improvements throughout the district.
The success of these measures didn't occur in a vacuum. Citizens' Team members spent countless hours organizing campaign activities. We had the generous participation of parents, staff members, students, local businesses and service organizations, youth sports groups and even school district alumni.
All of us were committed to informing our voters about the urgent need to pass this bond and the potential benefits for our kids and community. We are grateful beyond measure to one and all.
We especially thank those behind-the-scenes, primarily our families and friends, who didn't see much of us for the last six months and were stalwart in their support.
Finally, kudos to The Beacon for endorsing our two measures. Your support always makes a difference.
With gratitude,
Paul Salas and Judy Schwab,
Citizens' Team for Mukilteo Schools

Loose Waistband!
Familiarity: I've used it several times
Fit: Runs large
I am constantly having to pull the waist up to high nigh wedgie or find ways to roll down the waistband without showing my crack! The length and fit around the calves are great, but not a huge selling point when I'm fidgeting with the waistband during my yoga practice. Additionally, the material around the thighs also get very loose. I'm not pleased with these yoga pants, but I already wore them once before I realized how poor the fit was.

This Weeks Country Throwback Revisits the Harmonies of Restless Heart [VIDEO]
Over the years, country music has had some great groups who knew how to create a big sound with terrific harmonies. My Country Throwback this week remembers Restless Heart, featuring lead singer Larry Stewart.
It's hard for me to pick a favorite song from Restless Heart, but for this week I'm going with 'Fast Moving Train'. This 1989 hit was the first single from the album of the same name and tells the story of a man who falls in love with a one night stand.
The song ended up becoming a top 5 hit for the group.

Snap-On Combs fit over electric clipper blades so that your pet's hair is uniformly cut to a pre-determined length, from 1/16 inch to 5/8 inch depending on comb size. Reduces chances of nicks or cuts during cutting. Combs increase the usefulness of your electric clipper by elevating the clipping blade above the skin to a specific height, giving you and your pet a professional edge when it comes to home grooming. Great for dogs with longer coats that require a clean, clippered look. Combs work with Size 10, 15, 30, and 40 Oster, Wahl, and Andis blades. To fit the combs on your blade, fit the two metal prongs on the comb under the blade, and then stretch the comb up and over the top of the blade until the two plastic prongs snap into place.

Need Help With Scrollwork On The Sides Of Cakes...
Decorating By sugarlaced Updated 1 Feb 2007 , 2:48pm by stephanie214
what is the best icing to use to do scrollwork on the sides of a cake? It will be black scrollwork on white BC (no room for errors)!!
BC, RI, should I add piping gel to either? Or something else?
I have used a medium black bc before to do scroll on a white bc with no problems. It turned out very classy and the person was thrilled. I would used the bc because of its flavor over the royal. Good luck, it will turn out just fine.
When I do scroll work, I use butter cream with some piping gel or corn syrup so that the icing comes out smooth and not rough looking. I also add one or the other to do writing

The rumour started before last season ended.
It went like this: Ales Kotalik would be convinced by the Calgary Flames to finish his hockey career in Europe.
He'd earn his US$3-million per year the next two seasons on loan from the NHL club that scooped him out of the New York Rangers doghouse and then built him a bed in their own.
Rumour resembled reality when he was waived by the Flames in June.
"Some of those things that happened over the summer I didn't expect," the 31-year-old winger said Thursday after a skate at the Saddledome before training camp officially kicks off Friday.
Then another shocker.
"I didn't really expect, after that, I'm gonna be still here in this organization," he added.
"But I'm here. And I'm ready to go. I'm here to play for this organization and, most of all, play well."
When quizzed at the end of his most disappointing NHL season about the rumblings he wouldn't be welcomed back, Kotalik was genuinely stunned at the notion.
clause (which he suspended to join the Flames in February), the Czech product has some say in where he plays.
Waived without warning in June and going unclaimed, Kotalik spent the summer wondering what his NHL future would hold and was left in the dark by Flames management.
"I didn't talk really to anyone from the executive," he said. "I was talking to the coaches, Brent (Sutter) and Pi (Dave Lowry) and the guys and they told me what they're expecting from me. I think I'm capable of doing that."
What they expect is production. The four-time 20-goal scorer put up 11 splitting last season between the Rangers and the Flames.
Three goals and five points in 26 games came with the Flames after joining the team along with Christopher Higgins in exchange for Olli Jokinen and Brandon Prust.
"One bad season, I'm not gonna let that finish my NHL career," Kotalik said.
"Sometimes, you have to make a step back to make two big strides forward. I truly believe that's going to be my case."

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - LeSean McCoy glances at the NFL leaderboard and sees he's still first in rushing.
It's not the most important number for him.
''The biggest thing is winning,'' McCoy said Wednesday. ''I'd rather be winning than have a ton of yards.''
McCoy had just 44 yards rushing on 12 carries in the Philadelphia Eagles' 49-20 win at Oakland last Sunday. It was the third straight game he was held under 60 yards and fourth time in five weeks. The Eagles (4-5) are 3-2 in those games, however.
If defenses gear up to stop McCoy, it usually opens up the passing game. Nick Foles took advantage of the Raiders' secondary, throwing seven touchdown passes to tie an NFL record.
''They're trying to do as much as possible to stop the run,'' McCoy said. ''If that's what you want to do, we'll take our shots in the quick game, the sidelines, over the top. It's a matter of what you really want.
''From now on we'll probably see more honest looks. If they try and stop the run, they're leaving something open and you can only be happy about that.''
McCoy, a 2011 All-Pro, started off strong with 184 yards rushing in a win at Washington in Week 1. He had 158 yards in a loss to Kansas City two weeks later and 116 in a win at Tampa Bay on Oct. 13.
Those performances helped him get an early lead for the NFL rushing title, but his hold is slipping. He has 777 yards, just 51 ahead of Seattle's Marshawn Lynch.
Kansas City's Jamaal Charles is third with 725 and Minnesota's Adrian Peterson trails by 66 with one game in hand.
''I'm not frustrated,'' McCoy said. ''You can't really worry about that kind of stuff. The individual yards and stuff will still come out at the end.''
Coach Chip Kelly isn't concerned about McCoy's declining production because the Eagles find other ways to take advantage of defenses.
''Thank goodness we're not in a fantasy league as coaches,'' Kelly joked. ''It's how productive is the offense and are we moving the ball. I've said it since Day One, we're an equal opportunity deal. If you want to let us throw it, then we're going to throw it.
''If you want to let us run it, then we're going to run it. If for some reason the running game is not working but we're throwing the heck out of the ball, then we'll continue to do that.''
McCoy isn't just a decoy, though. He's a valuable part of the passing attack. He had 114 yards receiving against San Diego in Week 2, and has 29 receptions for 320 yards and one TD this season.
''He adds a ton of value in the passing game,'' Kelly said. ''I think he can be a mismatch problem and some of those things. I thought he played a really good game (against Oakland). They were blitzing a few times. He was good in pass protection again and pickups and things like that.''
McCoy is on pace for a career-high 299 carries. Backup Bryce Brown had his best game last week, gaining 54 yards on seven carries. An effective Brown would help McCoy get rest, something that takes on more importance in Kelly's up-tempo, no-huddle offense.
''A lot of that is also what is the defense giving us, and there's going to be some games where it's not a consistent thing where he's going to get `X' amount of carries each game because we do the same exact thing offensively each game,'' Kelly said.
''Some games are going to be relied upon in the run game a little bit more, other times they're going to pass it a little bit more. So I think with the ability to have Bryce and to have Chris Polk and to be able to work those guys in, that's something that we're really trying to monitor on a game-by-game basis.''
McCoy anticipates playing a bigger role at Green Bay (5-3) on Sunday. The Packers are fifth-best against the run, allowing just 94.5 yards per game. But they have key injuries on defense.
NOTES: Despite Foles' performance, Kelly still wouldn't give him the nod to start this week. It's unlikely Michael Vick will return from a hamstring injury that has forced him to miss three full games and not finish two others. ''Nick is starting in practice today,'' Kelly said, sticking with his plan not to reveal anything. ... DE Cedric Thornton (knee) didn't practice. Vick, CB Bradley Fletcher (pectoral) and LB Jake Knott (hamstring) were limited.

Curtain Call: A deaf in the family
|By Mary C. Cusack
Peppermint Creek drama explores family communication in a different wayFor those who have wished they could tune out their family during a Christmas fight over who ruined the childhood of whom, Peppermint Creek Theatre Co.'s "Tribes" will serve as a cautionary tale. There is a fate worse than suffering petty familial bickering: Sitting on the sidelines in silence.
"Tribes" is a tightly written, multi-layered story about a person's role in various social structures. Billy (Devin Fraught) was born deaf to a hearing family. They raised him to read lips and speak instead of learning sign language. His well-meaning parents believed this would give him a more normal life.
As the play opens, all of the adult children have returned to the nest, lorded over by former professor Christopher (Michael Hays) and aspiring novelist Beth (Jackie Payne). Eldest son Daniel (Chad Badgero) is in the throes of a break-up, and vacillates between writing a dissertation and smoking pot. Daughter Ruth (Crysta Harper) is trying to build a career as a singer.
Billy comes home from college and is thrust into the non-stop chaos of a family of creative types who are constantly trying to hoard all of the attention. Their fast-paced patter is more than even a hearing person can process, so Billy has no chance of keeping up. Instead he sits quietly, waiting for someone to fill him in on the goings-on.
Billy meets Sylvia (Meghan Malusek), a woman born to deaf parents who is gradually losing her hearing. She teaches Billy to sign, and he soon embraces the deaf community and culture. He finally feels a sense of belonging, which leads him to perceive that he's been a mascot for, not a member of, his family.
Although the script investigates relationships in multiple configurations, the most fascinating is that between Daniel and Billy. In the beginning, Daniel is too wrapped up in his own melodrama to pay attention to Billy, and at times seems either jealous or resentful of his brother's presence. But as Billy pursues his independence, it becomes apparent that Billy provides a sense of security and stability for Daniel that is critical to his well-being.
Badgero is excellent in this role. His vicious sibling rivalry with Ruth rings true, as does the tender need he projects upon Billy. Faught's performance as Billy is amazing, from the vocal control he exhibits as a deaf speaker to the range of emotion he expresses. At first quiet and seemingly content in his silent world, when he finally explodes in resentment it is cathartic, if not a bit misplaced.
Malusek brings grace to her role, especially when showing the poetic beauty of sign language. She also reflects the vulnerability of a young woman facing her impending disability realistically with fear, anger and acceptance.
As with real life, the denouement lacks a clear resolution. The end signifies the beginning of the next phase in the evolution of this family unit who will face what comes with newfound solidarity.
Peppermint Creek Theatre Co. 8 p.m. Thursday– Saturday, April 3-5 $15/$10 students & seniors 6025 Curry Lane, Lansing (517) 372-0945, peppermintcreek.org

Aubrey O'Day can't keep her booty off of the internet, The Hobbit is still alive, and Chicago loses their 2016 Olympic bid...Don't worry, the Mantenna will straighten you out by dinnertime.
Source: Denise Truscello/Getty Images
A week ago, Aubrey O'Day was upset to find out that some scandalous photos of her from a peepshow found their way on to the Internet. Well, expect those complaints to start again, as new photos of Aubrey's assets have once again graced the web, this time from various vantage points. Hey Aubrey, here's a protip: if you want to avoid naked photos of yourself ending up on the Internet, don't let people take photos of you in the bathtub. Actually, just ignore that advice, and keep doin' what you're doin'. [Hollywood Tuna]
The Hobbit Shall Survive
After all the nonsense about MGM going under and sinking the new Hobbit movie and the James Bond franchise along with it, it turns out that was much ado about nothin'. The bondholders who call the shots gave MGM three months of no interest payment on its $3.7 billion debt. Of course, at the end of these three months they could be right back where they started, but it's probably safe to say The Hobbit movie's going to be fast tracked so that MGM can get their wheels moving again. As for Bond, well, the international man of mystery is always good in a jamb. Never hurts to have a little help from your bondholders though. [Variety]
Back to Basics for Ghost Rider 2
It's looking like David Goyer's script from nine years ago that he wrote for Ghost Rider 2 is getting dusted off and refurbished for Sony. The only real revamping being done to it involve turning it from an R-rating to PG-13. Sounds like a pretty easy paycheck. Goyer is also attached to the Magneto movie Fox is developing, though a timeline on this project is murkier. Goyer says, "Fox is still mulling that. Originally it was kind of neck-and-neck with Wolverine. They're developing that." Whenever they do put it together, Goyer's going to be the guy behind the camera.
Chicago Loses 2016 Olympic Bid to a Country That Promises "Kidnapping Won't Be a Problem"
Source: Mark Wilson/Getty Images
Despite support from Barack Obama, and his more powerful ally Oprah Winfrey, the International Olympic Committee has decided to give Rio de Janeiro the 2016 Summer Olympic Games. While volunteers and supporters working with Chicago's Olympic efforts were clearly devastated by the news, various Cubs fans throughout the Windy City were heard responding by saying "try going through this for 101 straight years and then talk to us about disappointment." [CNN]
Eminem and Apple Settle Downloading Dispute
Apple Inc. and the music publisher for Eminem have settled a lawsuit over the digital downloading rights to many of the MC's tracks. Eight Mile Style attorney Richard Busch said today that the deal was reached late Thursday. He declined to disclose details of the settlement. Eight Mile had claimed that its deal to sell the rights to 93 songs to Aftermath Records did not authorize the record label to strike a separate deal with Apple to sell the songs digitally on iTunes. Eight Mile was seeking millions of dollars in compensation. [AP]
Student Sues Amazon for Kindle That Ate Homework, Gets $150,000
Remember the kid who had his notes from George Orwell's 1984 deleted along with Amazon's mass eradication of the work from all Kindles? He just won big time in court, splitting a $150,000 settlement with a co-plaintiff and the law firm, which will be donating its portion to charity. As much as this sounds like a Disney live action film from the 1990s, the real outcome is that Amazon no longer can just do what it wants to content on Kindles, just because it owns that content. Hey, sometimes the little guy actually does win. [TechFlash]
Google to Begin Mapping Indoor Locations Soon
Google maps are getting extended indoors next month with a new app called Micello that takes over where conventional navigators leave off — mapping your route inside of buildings, malls, convention centers, and other points of interest. You don't get a "you are here" blinking dot yet — but they do promise to add one next year using WiFi triangulation. At the introduction next month, Micello will only work in California, but they plan to expand to other major U.S. cities during 2010. Holy. Crap. [Smarter Technology]

When we started Panorama in 2005, we were one of the few truly independent consultants focused on ERP systems. The times have changed, however, and now there are a variety of competitors that have tried to replicate our business model. Given our position as the world's leading independent ERP thought leaders – and since we have essentially created and led the market for independent ERP consultants – we thought that now would be an appropriate time to provide our analysis of the various players in the market.
When we look at ERP consultants, we evaluate their value based on two criteria: independence and innovation. Both are critical to ensure that organizations are getting the best balance of technology-agnostic guidance and inventive, high quality processes and methodologies.
The first criterion to consider when evaluating ERP consultants is their level of independence. While most consulting firms are somehow aligned with ERP vendors, it is in the best interest of organizations purchasing and implementing ERP software to have an unbiased advisor. More specifically, there are two components of independence:
In addition to independence, it behooves organizations to enlist the help of consulting firms that are innovative and can provide the most relevant and successful best practices that the industry has to offer. There are two key aspects of innovation:
With these two criteria in mind, and using the quadrant below as a visual reference point, it is clear that it isn't uncommon to find consulting firms that meet one of these two critical variables. However, it is extremely uncommon to find a firm that meets both criteria. Independence is nice, but it won't get you very far if the consulting firm doesn't have innovative and leading best practices to help your organization make its ERP initiatives successful. By the same token, an innovative consulting firm won't get you very far if their understanding of the ERP market is dependent on the limited knowledge of a handful of employees.
The quadrant features all of the relevant and prominent global ERP consultants, but does not include some of the smaller-tier, local, or regional consulting firms by name. While those types of firms are lumped into one broad category in the upper left quadrant, they are not the types of firms that our larger, global client base considers, so we have intentionally omitted them from this analysis.
When picking your ERP consulting partner, choose wisely. Ideally, you will want to find a partner that can successfully lead you through the entire ERP project lifecycle, rather than a firm to help you complete a more limited engagement. Contact Panorama's team of independent ERP experts today to find out more about how we compare to other ERP consulting firms and how we can help with your ERP initiative.

Genesis' DSL Rings® technology can change the lives of millions by delivering superfast broadband over existing telephone lines
Coventry, UK – October 2, 2013 – Coventry-based Genesis Technical Systems has been nominated for a prestigious Innovation Award at this year's World Communication Awards 2013 (WCA). The company's ground-breaking DSL Rings® technology has been singled out because of its ability to deliver exceptional broadband speeds over existing copper networks.
The principal annual awards for global telecom operators (telcos) and service providers, the World Communication Awards 2013 will be attended by over 600 leading players in the industry. Genesis is a finalist for the Innovation Award, amongst nominees including big name Telco's AT&T, BT and NTT.
This nomination recognises the innovation behind DSL Rings, which, after five years' Research & Development from Genesis Technical Systems, was launched at the Broadband World Forum in 2012.
DSL Rings® is a clever combination of existing standards-based technologies that is a truly disruptive new technology that delivers Superfast Broadband at up to 400 Mb/s, over existing copper telecommunications networks.
DSL Rings® requires no planning, no trenching, and no new tools, skills or expertise. It is environmentally and architecturally friendly, and has significant payback potential following a low cost, rapid deployment.
DSL Rings® presents telcos that already have significant investment in copper, with a real alternative to installing fibre. It is possible with DSL Rings®, for fixed line telcos to realise a tangible return on investment within two years.
"It is a great honour for Genesis to be recognised for our innovative work, amongst many of the big-name players in the industry. Years of hard work in research and development are now paying off. This nomination shows us the industry is sitting up and taking notice," said Nigel Hall, Managing Director at Genesis Technical Systems.
Winners of the WCA will be announced at an awards ceremony held as part of the Total Telecoms Festival 2013 on December 3rd in London.
About Genesis
Genesis Technical Systems provides the ground-breaking DSL Rings® and mBond™ technologies, delivering affordable superfast broadband over existing copper networks.
DSL Rings® changes the competitive landscape for voice, video and data telecommunications services by enabling superfast Internet bandwidth to rural and urban customers at a fraction of the cost and deployment time of other solutions.
mBond™ provides mobile telecommunications operators with a unique opportunity to dramatically enhance their copper-wired base stations' capacity. Bandwidth needs are significantly increasing with the deployment of high speed data services such as 3G and LTE. Therefore, telecoms operators need to enhance their BTS backhaul as fast as possible while keeping their costs low.
