NEW YORK (Reuters) - Hedge fund manager Philip Falcone on Friday asked a federal judge to dismiss U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission charges accusing him of market manipulation, giving preferential treatment to certain investors and borrowing cash from his own fund to pay his personal taxes.
The billionaire, who was sued in U.S. District Court in Manhattan in June, said government regulators had no evidence that he had deceived investors or acted outside of the law.
The SEC charged Falcone and his fund, Harbinger Capital Partners, with manipulating the bond prices of bathroom fixtures maker MAAX Holdings Inc between 2006 and 2008.
But Falcone said his actions were motivated by sound investment strategy, not by any attempt to deceive investors.
"Plaintiff believes that perfectly lawful market conduct…can be transformed into illegal market manipulation merely by alleging that defendants had manipulative intent," lawyers for Harbinger wrote in a motion to dismiss the case filed on Friday with U.S. District Judge Paul Crotty.
In addition, the government asserted that at the height of the financial crisis, when many of the fund's assets were tied up in the collapse of Lehman Brothers, Falcone let select investors get out while denying that opportunity to others. The SEC also claimed Falcone illegally loaned himself $113 million from the fund to pay his taxes, leaving investors unable to access their own money.
In Friday's court filing, Falcone said governing documents explicitly allowed him to give certain investors preferential liquidity. He also claimed the loan was approved by his outside counsel.
An SEC spokesman declined to comment on the filing.
The SEC's action came one month after LightSquared, a wireless communications company that had over time become Harbinger's biggest investment, filed for bankruptcy, raising questions about Falcone's future in the $2 trillion hedge fund industry.
The cases are Securities and Exchange Commission v. Harbinger Capital Partners LLC et al., No. 12-5028, and Securities and Exchange Commission v. Philip A. Falcone et al., No. 12-5027, both in U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York.

Most people my age have never heard of Phil Ochs, a singer-songwriter of the 1960s who, for a brief time at least, was as prominent in the folk music world as Bob Dylan and Joan Baez. Ochs's early work was mostly very topical (his first album was titled All the News That's Fit to Sing), and his later, less-topical songs never really caught on beyond Ochs's already-established audience, many of whom wanted him to return to recording songs with only an acoustic guitar for accompaniment. His later years were marred by alcoholism and mental illness, and by the time he hanged himself in 1976, at age 35, he was remembered -- if he was remembered at all -- as a relic of the previous decade.
But when I was growing up, Ochs was famous in our house. As a radio DJ in Massachusetts in the mid-60s, my father almost lost his job because of an Ochs song called "The Ballad of William Worthy". My father was no bomb-throwing radical -- he always voted for Republicans, including Nixon, and moved on from radio work to owning a gun shop. But he was fiercely anti-authoritarian, and I expect what appealed to him about protest music was what had appealed to him about early rocknroll: it annoyed and frightened people of his parents' age.
"The Ballad of William Worthy" tells the story of a reporter who defied the U.S. State Department's travel bans on China and Cuba. Worthy's case was an important early one for famed civil rights lawyer William Kunstler, and was in the headlines long enough to grab Ochs's attention. The song included this chorus:
William Worthy isn't worthy to enter our door
Went down to Cuba, he's not American anymore.
But somehow it is strange to hear the State Department say
You are living in the free world, in the free world you must stay.
It's a fun, catchy tune, and one day my father played it on the radio. A lot of listeners were upset, and expressed their distress to the station in letters and phone calls. I expect some advertisers were none too pleased, either. My father promised not to do it again.

LEGO Universe has been officially out for a few days now, but for many, the launch was mostly symbolic. Players who pre-ordered the game had access as early as the 8th of October, more than a fortnight before launch. I started playing about halfway between the early starter date and the official launch, and as I said in my impressions piece about a week ago, I managed to finish about half of the structured content in just a couple of days.
LEGO Universe is extremely faithful to its source material. In every single area of the game, wherever there is something living or something man-(or minifigure-)made, it is made entirely out of LEGO blocks. It's effective at portraying a world of plastic, and many of the non-LEGO set pieces, such as the giant tree in the Forbidden Valley, are just as visually enticing.
Like previous LEGO games, smashing an enemy results in a shower of blocks. Enemies drop money, health, armor, which functions as a second health bar, and imagination, which functions as the main resource for pretty much every ability, combat related or otherwise, in the game. They also occasionally drop items and blocks which can be used in the build mode.
The build mode is LEGO Universe's second biggest strength. As it stands right now, I have over 720 different kinds of blocks. That's different kinds. I have well over three thousand blocks in total — probably closer to four. The blocks can be used on your claimed property to build literally whatever you want. There are also pre-made models that can be used as-is, or broken down into their base blocks. Building is a pretty simple task of choosing the block and slapping it wherever it fits. They can be moved and colored after they're placed if need be, and once you've crafted a model, you can move it as a whole or break it back down. Models and bricks can have behaviors placed on them, such as exploding on contact, moving when activated, or spawning health, armor, imagination or enemies. It's all isolated to the confines of your property, but you can allow other players to walk in and inspect your creations.
If you love the creative aspects of real LEGO, then LEGO Universe does quite a good job of recreating that sensation without ruining your fingers on the sharp corners. It also does an excellent job of recreating the frustration of sifting through a bucket of blocks in search of something specific. Although there is a method for sorting your bricks, it can be extremely unintuitive, especially given the audience Universe is aiming for. For one thing, the button buried in the menus and is extremely small. It also sorts in a kind of strange way — blocks fall into categories, like basic, space, architectural, tiles etc… and you can choose up to three to narrow the collection down. What the search doesn't include is a means of searching by the size of the block, so if you're just looking for something that will fill in a 3-by-3 gap in your model, you'll have to work out whether you're looking for something sloped, grated, hollow or from one of the very vaguely named sets, and then just sift through the remaining blocks that are automatically placed in the order you found them. It's better than nothing, but by no means as flexible as it could or should be, given the quantity of blocks.
I said that the brick build was the second strongest aspect in LEGO because the music takes the cake. In every area of every zone, there is a new, usually orchestral, track that completely sets the mood for the area. Even better, each piece of music plays for a good long while before it loops. Whenever you think it can't go anywhere, it surprises you and takes a turn. Even the pirate theme, which could have easily been an annoying little ditty, is melodious and a joy to listen to. The entire soundtrack is a really great blend of fun, atmospheric and catchy, and I can't say a negative thing about it. Even the musical snippets like playing the organ at the Pirate camp, or using the boom box item ooze with quality.
Blocks. Lots and lots of blocks.
The writing, from the opening cinematic, to the quest info, to the little bits of dialogue characters say as you walk past, is of a fairly high quality and occasionally very witty. The story, which involves the player characters trying to "save imagination" from the malevolent Maelstrom is cute.
Barring glitches, the mini-games are also pretty solid although far too limited. The racing mini-game has two cleverly designed tracks which are let down a little bit by the average racing mechanics. The shooting gallery mini-game is pretty standard but includes a combo system and the opportunity to win models to spice things up.
But they, like the rest of the game, suffer from potentially ruinous bugs. While in the shooting gallery, for example, my aiming reticule vanished entirely, meaning I had no way to tell where I was aiming. In the broader world, the bugs are worse. One bug involved a Quick Build — a structure that players whip together at the cost of some imagination to affect the world; bridging a gap, for example. This one was a trampoline perched atop a stone spire that players had to jump down to from a ledge. Once there, they were meant to take the trampoline to the next spire and travel onwards, except the trampoline vanished entirely. Players were blindly jumping onto the spire and, finding nowhere else to go, plummeting to their doom. There was no way to progress further than about 50 feet into the level because of this bug.
Another had one of my quest objectives — a giant imagination orb — never appear where it was meant to, meaning I couldn't claim one of my properties until I re-logged. A separate one caused blocks and models to vanish from my inventory permanently for being too hasty with the shift key (which picked up blocks) during build mode. A further one had me repeatedly running around with zero health, meaning I was meant to be dead. Enemy attack animations frequently don't appear or appear to not hit you, even though you still take damage, and wind-pits which are meant to carry players across gaps often stop you from moving forward midway through and let you sink slowly to your death.
None of these compare to the constant frustration of the pets, though. Taming a pet involves a mini-game where you guess which blocks are in a model they show you. The problem is, the models are sometimes very difficult to distinguish, and you could fail multiple times simply because one part is two smaller blocks stuck together instead of the single (identical looking) larger block you chose. It also sometimes requires a surprisingly intimate knowledge of real LEGO blocks which many players may not have. Once you've got your pet, things go rapidly downhill.
Oh, did you want to LEAVE that stone spire of doom? Well you can't.
Pet AI is awful, and they float all over the map, twitching and writhing like a possessed dog with fleas. They are unresponsive when you ask them to dig up chests (instead preferring to twitch back and forth), and get stuck behind really simple hills when you take a slight shortcut. There are 18 different pets, and no way to perceive what makes them different other than their appearance. They are different, though, not that the difference seems to make a whole lot of impact anywhere. Also, some of the pets — like the crab — just look kind of dumb.
Questing is a very mixed bag. A lot of the quests are fine; go kill this, go collect that etc… but then you get quests that are like "Go talk to Mr. LEGO over in an area that takes ten minutes to get to." You go there, and — no joke, I had a quest that did this to me — they will tell you they have no idea what that character is talking about and you should go talk to someone in the same zone you just freakin' came from. There are also far too many quests with diminishing returns; "Go find me ten infected blocks." And then, "Great! Now go find me twenty five." The racing quests also don't look at you
r previous runs. If one wants you to win a race and the next wants you do a lap in under a minute, you have to do another run even if you did your minute-lap in the first race.
Inventory management is pointlessly overcomplicated. A lot of actions require that you equip a certain item. The Maelstrom Hammer, for example, breaks red-glowing objects, while the Water Sprayer waters flowers and washes skunks, and the Pirate Hook builds special structures. They all fit in the weapon slot and you have to switch between them and whatever weapon you use to attack with regularly. The items also sit scattered in your single item bag with the dozens of different restorative items you pick up, and it becomes a chore to hunt through and find what you need. Then there are different hats that you need to wear if you want fly to one of the mid-level hub areas. This is instead of saving you an inventory slot and just giving you the option to fly there as a button before you fly. If it sounds a little confusing and unnecessary, that is because it is.
There's only one location where grouping and working together is encouraged, and beyond that, it feels detrimental to see other players near you. Combat-based quests are infrequent and don't have you kill that many monsters, so it comes as a shock that purchasing items from your faction is prohibitively expensive and you are unlikely to get a single tier-3 piece of armor (the highest tier of armor at the moment) before you've completed almost every quest in the game. The combat itself is simple but clunky, as the auto-targeting (which you have no control over) often targets something you're not trying to hit.
And that is LEGO Universe's biggest flaw; there is simply too little structured content. I estimate there is maybe fifteen hours worth of questing. As a one-off purchase, the length is fine, but this game comes with a subscription. Chances are most players will complete the quests in the game well before their complementary month of game time is up though, so what reason is there to subscribe? Ten dollars a month to maintain a virtual LEGO trophy room simply won't cut it for most players who are averse to paying a little more for the thousands of hours of content that other MMOs offer.
Closing Comments
LEGO Universe is what people in the real-estate industry would call a fixer-upper. There are a lot of issues that mask the elements that sets Universe apart from other MMOs, including bugs, strange gameplay choices and a general lack of content. If all you want to do is build, LEGO Universe might provide the perfect outlet for your creative juices at a fraction of the cost of actual LEGO, but you will have to contend with the multitude of issues that plague the wider game.

Ohio woman gets 5 years in prison for child rape
Ohio woman gets 5 years in prison for child rape
LIMA, Ohio —
A judge has sentenced a northwest Ohio woman to five years in prison for raping a 6-year-old girl in 2005.
Trisha Steele had pleaded guilty to one count of rape in a deal with prosecutors that included her testifying against her former boyfriend and co-defendant. She was sentenced in Lima Thursday.
Her co-defendant, 38-year-old William Purdy, was convicted last month of six child rape charges and will be sentenced later. He could face up to life in prison.
The Lima News reports that Steele apologized in court Thursday. The victim's mother was in court but did not speak.

Menopause and HIV

What Is Menopause?
Menopause is a normal part of a woman's life. Often called "the change of life," it refers to that point in time when a woman's menstrual periods have stopped. Perimenopause is the time of transition leading up to a woman's final menstrual period; it involves a series of bodily changes that can last from one to several years. Once your body has completed these changes, and you have not had your period for 12 months in a row, you have passed through menopause.
Women usually experience menopause between the ages of 38 and 58; the average age is 51. There is some evidence that women living with HIV (HIV+) may experience menopause earlier. There is also some evidence that the symptoms of menopause tend to be more intense for women living with HIV, but the research in this area is far from conclusive.
The changes of menopause begin when your ovaries (female reproductive organs containing eggs) naturally begin to slow down the making of the female sex hormones, estrogen and progesterone. When you near menopause, estrogen levels drop. You stop having regular cycles and eventually you can no longer get pregnant.
Symptoms and Conditions Related to Menopause
A woman can usually tell she is getting close to menopause because her periods start changing. During this time hormone levels rise and fall unevenly, and you may experience symptoms such as:
- Increasingly irregular periods:
- Change in frequency (how often)
- Change in duration (how long)
- Change in amount (lighter or heavier)
- Hot flashes
- Night sweats
- Mood swings
- Depression
- Irritability
- Vaginal dryness
- Forgetfulness
- Trouble sleeping
- Fatigue (extreme tiredness)
- Lack of sexual desire
- Skin changes including: thinner skin, wrinkling, and acne
Women living with HIV who experience sweats at night may be misdiagnosed as having menopause-related hot flashes, when in fact their sweats may be the result of HIV infection. Vaginal dryness can be mistaken for a yeast infection. It is important to keep track of your cycles and report any changes to your health care provider to avoid a wrong diagnosis or hormonal treatments that may not be necessary. For more information about menstrual problems and HIV, see our fact sheet on Menstrual Changes.
Women living with HIV may experience changes in their menstrual cycles even if they are not going through menopause. Speak to your health care provider if you are having any of the symptoms described above to find out if they are related to HIV, menopause, or some combination. It may be helpful to have your hormone levels checked as well.
There are also some serious medical concerns that can develop after menopause, including:
- Osteoporosis (bone loss)
- Cardiovascular (heart) disease
- Urinary incontinence, including more frequent urination or involuntary loss of urine (leaking)
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
Many women want to replace the estrogen that their body is no longer making because it relieves the symptoms of menopause. However, care must be taken in replacing estrogen. Taking estrogen without progesterone increases the risk of uterine cancer. If a woman has had her uterus (womb) removed, she can take estrogen by itself. This is called estrogen replacement therapy or ERT. Women who still have a uterus usually take a combination of estrogen and progesterone. This is called hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
Although HRT used to be regularly recommended to relieve menopausal symptoms and reduce bone loss, long-term use of HRT is now questionable. Research has shown that HRT can increase women's risk for breast cancer, heart disease, and stroke. HRT may be appropriate for a short time to relieve menopausal symptoms that do not respond to other therapies. Estrogen and progesterone are available in patches, creams, and vaginal rings; these may be an alternative to the pill form of HRT and may not carry the same risks.
To figure out if HRT is right for you, talk with your health care provider about all the risks and benefits. When deciding about HRT, it is important to tell your provider about any prescription medications, street drugs, over-the-counter medications, alternative therapies, or other treatments you are taking.
Sometimes, HIV drugs can reduce the effectiveness of hormones, including birth control pills containing estrogen and progesterone. Estrogen can also cause lower levels of HIV drugs and put you at risk for a rising viral load and HIV drug resistance. Generally, however, women living with HIV and taking HIV drugs have good results using birth control pills and other hormonal contraceptives. See our fact sheet on Hormones and HIV for more information.

Huskers Return Home to Host UIC
After a versatile state on the road for the past two weeks, the No. 9 Nebraska men's gymnastics team will return home to the Bob Devaney Sports Center for their home opener on Saturday, Jan. 27. The Huskers will host the UIC Flames, meeting up with them at 1 p.m. CST. Fans who can't make it to the meet will be able to view free live stats on Huskers.com. They can also follow the team on Twitter (@NebraskaMGym) or on Facebook (facebook.com/NebraskaMGym) for live updates from the meet.
The Huskers and the Flames look to earn their first win of the season this weekend. Nebraska struggled against No. 3 Stanford, No. 4 Oklahoma and No. 6 California, falling to all three teams. UIC was defeated by a handful of Big Ten teams at the Windy City Invitational. The two last met in 2011 in Lincoln, where UIC fell to Nebraska and Oklahoma.
Scouting the Flames
A Glance at UIC
Head Coach: Charley Nelson
2013 Record: 0-7
2013 High Score: 401.600 (Windy City Invitational, 1/19/13)
UIC started their 2013 season with a pair of home meets, coming out on the bottom of both. They hosted Illinois on Jan. 12, falling to the Illini with a score of 425.45-385.75. The Flames then held the 43rd Annual Windy City Invitational inside the Physical Education Building. The team posted a season-best team score of 401.600. Sophomore Jason Gaides posted team-high scores on rings and high bar. The team increased their team score by 15 points between the two weeks, which head coach Charley Nelson says is ample progress for the team.
Looking Ahead
Nebraska will face the Flames a second week in a row, traveling to Minneapolis for a triangular matchup against UIC and the Golden Gophers. No. 7 Minnesota will host the Huskers at the Sports Pavillion on Feb. 2. Named the John Roethlisberger Iceberg Invitational, the meet will kick off at 7 p.m. CST. The Golden Gophers are 2-3 this season and will host Air Force this weekend at the Sports Pavillion.
Last Time Out: Huskers Stumble Against Top Teams
The Huskers fell to No. 3 Stanford, No. 4 Oklahoma and No. 6 California at the Stanford Open on Saturday. The three teams posted consistent scores on all six events, putting pressure on No. 5 Nebraska to match. NU finished with a score of 421.900 in Palo Alto, Calif., on Jan. 10.
Junior Wyatt Aycock returned to all-around competition for the first time since his freshman year. Aycock left an impression on his competitors, finishing fourth in all-around competition with an 82.100. This score placed Aycock at tenth nationally in the all-around. Classmate C.J. Schaaf came in just behind Aycock, finishing the night in fifth with an 80.400.
Sophomore Connor Stillwell made his 2013 competitive debut on high bar in California. Stillwell posted a 14.35 on the event. The sophomore also finished up the weekend ranked 19th nationally on high bar.
NU struggled on pommel horse and still rings, posting only four scores better than 14 on the two events combined. Rings specialist Donovan Arndt saw the highest score on rings with a 14.15, while freshman Sam Chamberlain finished just behind him with a 14.10. Chamberlain also scored a 14.40 on parallel bars later on in the meet.
Nebraska's only current All-American, Grant Perdue, continued to struggle on floor and vault, posting a 14.15 and 14.10 on the events respectively.
Nebraska Finishes Second Week in Ninth
NU dropped to No. 9 nationally after the second week of the season. Four teams (Michigan, Ohio State, Minnesota and Iowa) jumped ahead of the Huskers after completing their first meets of the season. Nebraska is now ranked seventh in the Big Ten. Penn State remained at the top spot with an average team score of 444.375. Stanford jumped to second after their victory at the Stanford Open, finishing their second week with an average score of 431.625. Michigan joined the rankings at No. 3 with their win at the Windy City Invitational, posting a team score of 431.300.
Nebraska finished seventh on pommel horse, triumphing over Minnesota (No. 8) and Iowa (No. 13). The Huskers finished eighth on vault and parallel bars and ninth on floor and rings. Lack of consistency pushed NU to No. 10 on high bar, less than a point behind William & Mary.
Individually, Nebraska saw four athletes in the national rankings this week. Junior Wyatt Aycock claimed the No. 10 position in the all-around after finishing with an 82.100 in Palo Alto, Calif. C.J. Schaaf also finished the week in the all-around rankings, placing sixteenth with an average score of 80.650.
Aycock also claimed the No. 20 spot on pommel horse, averaging a score of 14.375 between the first two meets. Eric Schryver returned to the parallel bars rankings for a seecond week in a row, dropping to twentieth, though his score increase to a 14.325.
Sophomore Connor Stillwell broke into the top 20 on high bar after finishing his first meet of the season. Stillwell snagged the No. 19 spot with a strong score of 14.350.

A Theory on the Super Secret Identities of the Prospects in the Cubs/Reds Deal
It seems strange how tightly guarded the identities of the prospects potentially included in the Cubs/Reds Marshall/Wood deal are, no?
Usually, if deals are consummated pending physicals, the players' names still make the news. Whether that's by way of a leak or an official announcement, it's common. In fact, it's hard to remember a time in recent memory where a trade was believed to be completed pending physicals, openly discussed as a done deal in the media, two of the players are named, but one or two of the pieces are totally obscured from even the slightest of credible rumors. (This is, of course, different from when the players are explicitly unknown, in the form of Players to Be Named Later.)
So what could be different this time? Sure, maybe it's just that Theo and Jed are more tight-lipped than any other front office. But is Walt Jocketty?
I'll concede: it's probably just that.
But, I can't help myself. I'm curious by nature.
So, I started circulating a theory on Twitter this afternoon (and it's just a theory – I haven't "heard" anything): what if the reason the prospects' names haven't come out yet is because they haven't been agreed on yet? To wit: what if the Reds have been given a window to work out an extension with Marshall (who is under contract for this year only, and would be more valuable to the Reds if they knew they had him locked up for longer), and the value of the prospects the Cubs will get in return is dependent on that extension?
Well, no sooner than I started floating the idea, I found an article from a couple hours ago in which a Cincinnati writer speculates that an extension is being discussed. His theory is that Marshall, unlike Mat Latos, is being flown into Cincinnati for a physical today. That suggests something is different in this deal than the Latos deal (I could argue it could be a specific health concern, but, hey, I'm just sayin'), and the writer, John Fay, believes it could be that an extension is in place, and the Reds just want to make sure Marshall is in perfect health before signing off.
Thoughts? Am I wrong that this level of secrecy is unusual? Is it plausible that the Cubs could get a better return if Marshall agrees to an extension?

Is your wife a good cook? I'm looking to take someone to California with me.
One of the reasons I chose USC Law was for the networking; the Trojan alumni network is legendary. And the professors do a wonderful job helping you learn to think like a lawyer. They help set the foundation that allows you to see things in different ways. I've also been impressed by the interest they take in our personal success.After law school, I plan to go into immigration law. As a native of Somalia who grew up in Canada, I have witnessed how much lawyers can do to help people in my position.

I was one of those journalism students taught to not use "said". thanks so much for that info! I've been watching that in all my reading lately and can't believe I never noticed that before - how much it is used, and by the top selling christian fiction authors, too!
To ask a question? I was wondering about something I've noticed alot in reading my favorite Christian fiction top sellers. In the midst of dialogue these will put in a really insignificant sentence, like a "so?" Its not a particular writer's style, I see it alot For example:
"Are you really certain, Miss Pointer, that the lady made a call from this phone?"
Yelda took a sip of tea. "Yes, quite sure."
Marvin stared at Muriel and blinked. "Where did you leave the journal?"
Muriel nibbled her celery thoughtfully. "I'm not at all sure."

Stop eating high-calorie foods and swap them for a healthy, balanced alternative.
Making small changes to your diet is the healthiest and most achievable way to lose weight.
Your first step is to eat fewer foods high in calories, fat, salt and sugars and swap them for something healthier, including more fruit and vegetables.
Remember, small changes can add up to make a big overall difference to your diet.
Find out more from the Eatwell Guide about which foods you should be eating – and in what amounts – to achieve a balanced diet.
Try these small changes when you have your next meal or drink, or when you open the kitchen cupboard or fridge looking for a snack. Once you've got started, try thinking of your own healthier swaps, too.
When buying pre-packed food, don't rely on the attractive promotional print on the wrapping, which can be misleading. Instead, learn to read the nutritional information when checking for calorie, fat, salt and sugar content.

Seminole County is better than Orange County.
What do you think of that Teresa Jacobs?
Seminole County schools are top-notch, the property values are some of the highest in the region and the taxes are low. And with so much untouched land, it really is Florida's Natural Choice.
But it's the little things that set Seminole County - and the seven cities within its borders - apart from its neighbor to the south.
From the chickens in Oviedo to the wonders of Lake Jesup, Seminole County is where it's at in Central Florida.
Don't believe me? Watch "14 reasons Seminole County is better than Orange County".
And if you have a suggestion for why Seminole County is better than Orange County, email firstname.lastname@example.com, tweet me @JonBusdeker or message me on Facebook. I'll post the best ones here on my blog.

Chuck Connors, Cowboy
By: Legacy Staff
5 years ago
Sixty years ago, a pretty good Major League first baseman – who also happened to be a decent professional basketball player – decided to quit athletics in favor of a movie career. Chuck Connors thought he could do better at acting than professional sports. And perhaps he was right
Connors, who died 20 years ago today, Nov. 10, 1992, broke into movies almost immediately after his career change, landing a role in the 1952 Spencer Tracy/Katharine Hepburn flick Pat and Mike. Over the next few years, he appeared in more than a dozen films, including a small but crucial role in the classic Old Yeller.
Just a year after Yeller, Connors took on the role that would define him as an actor. For five seasons, he was Lucas McCain, the title character of TV western The Rifleman. Connors was a ground-breaker as he was one of the first television stars to play a widower raising a child. McCain was also a Civil War veteran, a crack shot with a Winchester rifle, and a good man who believed in giving people a second chance.
The Rifleman was such a success that it led to Connors being typecast as a cowboy. Though he occasionally played other types of roles – a slave owner in Roots, a fisherman in Flipper – we most often remember him in the wild west, as in the TV series Branded.
How different would the entertainment world have been if Chuck Connors – who played for the Brooklyn Dodgers, Chicago Cubs, Boston Celtics and Chicago Bears (who drafted him, though he never suited up for a single football game) – had decided to continue his career in sports? It certainly would have been short one fine cowboy. We're glad Chuck Connors made the switch.

Josh Radnor and Elizabeth Olsen on Liberal Arts, Bob Saget, and Refusing to Read Twilight
Radnor: "I tend to read things that are a little more on the nourishing side ..."
Olsen: "I would never take the time to read those books ... "
Josh Radnor, who may be nearing the end of his How I Met Your Mother run as Ted Mosby, is hoping to have a long career writing, directing, and starring in movies. His second effort, Liberal Arts, involves an adrift 35-year-old New Yorker, Jesse, who goes on a nostalgia trip to his alma mater in Ohio to visit a favorite professor (or two), but spends most of his time falling for a 19-year-old college sophomore (the ever-luminous Elizabeth Olsen). Does this mean she's advanced, or he's stunted? he wonders, as he navigates college life once more. Radnor and Olsen sat down with Vulture to chat about virginity, vomit, and vampire books.
It seems that a premise of the movie is that some people connect over mutual taste, and then they confuse their love of that artist for love of that person.
Radnor: I think on some level, it's a valid point of connection, "Oh, we love the same musician, we love the same authors," but at the same time, maybe it can mask over some areas where you're maybe not as compatible. And for Jesse, when they get in the big dust-up over the vampire novel, he's uncomfortable with their growing intimacy, so he's looking for a reason why they don't make sense, and he seizes upon this book and says, "Aha! You read this trash."
But you never actually call it Twilight. Why?
Radnor: That was a great fun kind of in-joke of the movie. And Elizabeth [Reaser, who plays Esme Cullen in the Twilight films and a bookstore clerk in Liberal Arts], she loved that.
What did your girlfriend [Julia Jones, who plays Leah Clearwater in the Twilight films] think?
Radnor: I didn't know her then! [Laughs]
Olsen: You have a girlfriend? Oh my God, who are you dating?
Radnor: Don't worry about it! We'll talk about it later! It's Kristen Stewart. [Laughs] That's cool I said that, right? She's not. But there are a number of reasons. The things I do say in the movie — Beethoven, Wagner, Wordsworth, Blake — these are public domain. And I wanted the movie not to be dated by modern references — there's no Facebook or Twitter. And there will always be books that Jesse-types will think are evidence of Western civilization declining.
So where do you actually stand on Twilight? Love it? Hate it?
Radnor: I tend to read things that are a little more on the nourishing side, but if I don't enjoy something, I'll put it down.
Olsen: I would never take the time to read those books, unless it was for a movie! I wouldn't read them for pleasure.
There's a theme of attempting to lose your virginity that runs through Liberal Arts and one of your other upcoming films, Lizzy, Very Good Girls ...
Olsen: That was like the most frivolous, fun thing. I literally got back from doing a period piece and I was like, "I'm ignorant, naïve, and have no idea what's going on! And I like a boy!"
Radnor: "And I like it!"
Olsen: [Laughs] But losing your virginity is not that big of a deal in Very Good Girls. It's just an easier tagline. I don't know why they ever said that, because it never happens. [Dakota Fanning] and I just like the same guy.
Radnor: Did you just singlehandedly kill the marketing campaign for that movie? [Laughs] For Liberal Arts, she's calling the shots.
How is Josh as a director?
Olsen: Josh gave me the most specific direction I've ever received, well, you and Rodrigo [Cortés] from Red Lights. And I'm someone who combats with that, but I like structure, and the more structure you have, the more freedom you have.
Radnor: All the emotional stuff, you were on your own, and I was just capturing that. It was more like very specific, comedic things. She's funny.
Olsen: I'm a lot funnier when I'm hungover! [Laughs]
Radnor: What? Oh, in that scene. Yeah, you're really hungover. You look a little green.
Olsen: You actually wanted me to be a little more hungover [when her character goes to the bathroom to vomit]. It's like having your stomach pumped or something.
Radnor: "What'd you talk about in your interview?" "Vomit."
Do you feel like you're graduating each time you move on to a different director? Because you're about to work with Spike Lee on the Oldboy remake.
Olsen: He's only seemed like the most collaborative, actor-friendly director so far. I'm so game for it. It's like a mind thing you have to adjust for that movie. It's going to be really mental. And really exhausting. In the original, my character is the token beautiful woman, object of desire, and in our movie, she's more like someone who is a real human being, someone with psychological issues, and they both need each other. It's a little more interesting role to play. We're not trying to remake that movie, but there are certain things that are so clearly representative, so we'll do throwbacks to that, but we won't do a redo. It's also going to be Americanized, so it's a totally different culture, and a totally different time period. It's ten years later. So all those things have to come to play. You don't like violence, do you?
Radnor: Well, yeah. As a person, I'm anti-violence. [Laughs]
Do you want this to be the last season of How I Met Your Mother, so you can concentrate on being a director?
Radnor: You know, I have four, four-and-a-half months of the year that I can play with, even though if I'm shooting a movie, I'm editing while I'm doing the show, which is tiring, but invigorating. If the show ended at the end of season eight, I think we would all feel a sense of great accomplishment that we even did eight years on a television show. So few shows get to claim that.
Olsen: Full House.
Radnor: Full House does. What do you know about that show?
Olsen: [Laughs]
Radnor: Did you know they're both Bob Saget shows? Bob Saget does the voiceover for How I Met Your Mother. But if they work out a deal and we go nine seasons, I think that's also something great. But they have to let the writers know very, very soon, because they have to finish the series in a fairly elegant way. But either way, being on the show certainly hasn't hurt me!

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — Authorities have identified the two people who died in a plane crash in northern Colorado.
The Denver Post reports (http://dpo.st/1vvYisp) that Routt County Coroner Rob Ryg identified the two as William Earl Allen, 62, of Broomfield, Colorado, and a flying student, Terry Lynn Stewart, 60, of Houston, Texas.
According to Allen's Facebook page, he was a Certified Flight Instructor at Journeys Aviation in Boulder, the Post reports. The newspaper says a person at the aviation company declined to comment Sunday.
The plane was headed to Boulder from Steamboat Springs on Saturday. A search for the aircraft began when it was reported overdue. Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Allen Kenitzer tells the Post that the plane was a Piper PA-28.
Routt County Search and Rescue incident commander Jim Linville says at least two other planes have crashed in the same area in the past 10 years.

Every year I hear a story about some unfortunate hunter being hurt, paralyzed or even killed from a fall from a tree stand. Hunting is a dangerous sport. It requires physical conditioning, agility and above all else, common sense.
Every year I hear a story about some unfortunate hunter being hurt, paralyzed or even killed from a fall from a tree stand. Hunting is a dangerous sport. It requires physical conditioning, agility and above all else, common sense.
Sadly enough there are still those among us who think safety is for the other guy or the beginner. I have even listened in disbelief as a hunter joked about someone being "stupid enough" to need a safety strap while hunting. I asked him if he climbed to his stand with a loaded weapon or carried his hunting knife unsheathed in his pocket. He failed to see the humor in my questioning. I pointed out to this "sportsman" that most injuries are not the result of beginners but rather veteran hunters who failed to exercise safety precautions that they were well aware of.
So I was once again saddened this week as I was told a story about a life-long hunter who had fallen from his stand and would never walk again. I asked if he was wearing a safety harness and received a blank stare. "No, he's been hunting for a long time," was the answer to my question.
Safety harnesses are like seat belts in a vehicle. They should be worn by everyone, every time they enter a stand without exception. Tell a police officer who is citing you for a seat belt infraction that you have been driving for several years so you do not need to wear your safety belt and wait for the response you will get. Today's safety harnesses are comfortable if worn correctly, but best of all they may save your life or save you from becoming seriously injured.
Tree stands are small, slippery at times and you typically enter or exit with little or no light. Bulky clothes, boots, mud and leaves create a perfect slip-and-fall condition. Add into this the excitement of a good shot or the anger over a missed opportunity and the margin for a critical error does not favor the hunter.
The next time you are in the woods ask yourself, if you were to become seriously hurt how long would you have to wait for help to arrive? Did you tell someone where you were hunting? Did you tell someone where you would be; however, for some reason on your way to your stand you decided to go somewhere else? Now how long would it take to find you? How long before anyone even started to look for you?
I know my wife Lori would not become concerned until many hours after dark. She would assume I was helping someone track an animal or I was tracking one of my own. Now imagine lying on the ground having just fallen 15 or 20 feet onto logs or rocks. Better yet, imagine hanging upside down with a foot or leg caught in the crotch of a tree and the weight of your body pulling the broken mess apart for hours. Or, you could simply wear a safety harness and prevent all of that.
I have heard all of the arguments about harnesses being worn and people still getting hurt. I say to you that they are not guarantees against harm, but rather insurance policies geared toward safer hunts. I have never known anyone who had fallen while wearing a harness to complain about the harness. The first goal of any ethical hunter is, or should be, to return home safely. Everything else is second. Returning home to your family and being able to enjoy hunting another day is the mark of a successful hunt. I enjoy the outdoor lifestyle and treasure my time in the hardwoods and swamps, but I enjoy walking and my life as it is even more. I would not trade one for the other.
Talk to your favorite sporting goods dealer about a safety harness. You can be fitted to a size and style that suits your particular type of hunting. Become educated on the proper way to wear them and to hook them to your tree. I have even gone so far as to set up a practice stand in my yard with friends around and have stepped off to simulate a fall. It is still a shock to fall and then it takes some work to get yourself out of that predicament. It is, however, easier to do it with the coaching of your buddies and listening to their suggestions than to experience it first hand alone in a dark woods. The harness will not save your life. It will, however, allow you to save yourself.
Remember that safety does not just happen it takes effort and training to remain safe. Practice life saving scenarios with friends and hunting buddies. Make plans on ways to address different critical situations. Always tell someone you trust where you are going and when to expect you back. Decide on what action to take if you fail to return on time. Plan safety into your hunt and your hunts will be much safer and enjoyable. Come home from your trip and be able to plan your next adventure because it's a great outdoors.
Jim Kilchermann is an avid outdoorsman who practices safety and talks about it to all who will listen. Contact him at email@example.com and share some stories or close calls. Until next time, stay out of the snags and keep all of your shots in the ten ring.

TUCSON, Ariz. -- By a fraction of a second, the Arizona Wildcats are still unbeaten.
Colorado's Sabatino Chen banked in a 3-pointer at the end of regulation, but officials waved it off after reviewing the video and the third-ranked Wildcats went on to win 92-83 in overtime on Thursday night.
Some replays indicated the shot was taken in time. Others showed that perhaps it wasn't.
"It came down to fingertips, maybe," Chen said.
Chalk up another heart-stopping victory for Arizona, following a 65-64 win over Florida onMark Lyons' layup at the buzzer and 68-67 over San Diego State on Nick Johnson's late block.
"We have a great group of guys but we can get a lot better," Johnson said. "We've escaped with some tough wins but we're going to go back to practice and get better."
This one -- in the Pac-12 opener for both -- was the most improbable of all. Arizona (13-0, 1-0 Pac-12) outscored the Buffaloes 10-2 over the final 1:35 of regulation to force overtime. The Buffaloes (10-3, 0-1) missed four of six free throws in that span.
"We would have gotten what we deserved if we had lost," Arizona coach Sean Miller said.
When Chen banked in the 3-pointer, it looked like that would be the outcome. But after huddling for several minutes, the officials said no. Referee James Breeding told a television announcer that the ball was on Chen's fingertips when the lights around the backboard went on.
"If it's the wrong call, I'm really, really sick to my stomach," Colorado coach Tad Boyle said, "because we had guys in this locker room that deserved to win that game."
Arizona outscored the Buffaloes 10-2 over the final 1:35 of regulation to force the overtime. The Buffaloes missed four of six free throws in that stretch.
The Wildcats were down by 17 points in the first half and 16 with 12:40 to go in regulation.
Askia Booker led Colorado (10-3, 0-1) with 18 points.
Arizona's 13-0 start is the second-best in school history and best since the Wildcats won their first 16 in 1932-33.
Chen scored a career-high 15 points, 12 in the second half. Josh Scott scored 15 points andXavier Johnson had 13 for the Buffaloes, who beat Arizona by two points to win the Pac-12 tournament last season.
Lyons overcame an awful start to score a season-high 24 points, including two free throws that tied it at 80 with 9.2 seconds left in regulation.
Solomon Hill scored 15 points for the Wildcats. His 3-pointer with 1:35 to go in the second half cut the lead to 78-73.
Nick Johnson stole the ball from Andre Roberson and was fouled. Johnson made one of two free throws to cut it to 78-74 with 1:15 to play.
Scott made one of two free throws to make it 79-74 with 1:13 left. Lyons missed but Booker threw the ball away to Arizona's Jordin Mayes, whose layup cut the lead to 79-76 with 51 seconds on the clock.
Spencer Dinwiddie could make just one of two free throws with 44 seconds to go and it was 80-76. Lyons' driving layup cut it to 80-78 with 27 seconds to go.
Jeremy Adams was fouled and missed both free throws, then Lyons drove to the hoop, was fouled by Johnson and made both free throws as the crowd went crazy with 9.2 seconds left.
They fell silent when Chen banked in the shot at the end of regulation. But officials huddled around the monitor for several minutes before ruling the shot no good.
Parrom scored the first five points for Arizona in the overtime. His three-point play made it 83-82, the Wildcats' first lead since it was 5-4.
"We're playing with fire with the way that we're playing offense," Miller said. "We have talented players and we're trying to score against good defenses in January on the first three passes of a possession. It doesn't work that way."
Arizona made just 3 of its first 17 shots, going 9:40 without a field goal in the first half. When Roberson hit a 3-pointer from the corner on an out of bounds play as the shot clock expired, the Buffaloes led 30-13 with 4:37 to go in the half. Arizona had not trailed by more than 11 points this season.
Consecutive 3-pointers by Parrom and Grant Jerrett finally ended the drought and the Wildcats finished the half on a 14-4 run to cut Colorado's lead to 34-27.
But the Buffaloes regained command in the second half and led 56-40 on Chen's 3-pointer with 12:40 left in regulation.
"I'm proud of our team. I can't fault their effort," Boyle said. "We played a tough team on the road and we did what we had to do to win."

Data Protection Day: safeguarding privacy rights
28 January is European Data Protection Day, a joint initiative by the European Commission and the Council of Europe to raise awareness of how people's personal information is dealt with and their rights to data protection. On 25 January, the European Commission adopted major proposals for a comprehensive reform of EU data protection rules to strengthen online privacy rights and boost Europe's digital economy (IP/12/46, MEMO/12/41).
Speaking from the World Economic Forum in Davos, and ahead of the Data Protection Day, European Commission Vice-President Viviane Reding and Council of Europe Secretary General Thorbjørn Jagland said:
"Hyper-connectivity should go hand-in-hand with the protection of privacy online. The protection of personal data is a fundamental right. Information technology offers huge economic and social potential, which will be fully realised if citizens trust that their personal information online is protected."
The annual Data Protection Day aims to give people the chance to understand what personal data is collected and processed about them and why, and what their rights are with respect to this processing.
The European Commission proposals to reform the EU's 1995 data protection rules aim to strengthen online privacy rights and boost Europe's digital economy. Technological progress and globalisation have profoundly changed the way our data is collected, accessed and used. In addition, the 27 EU Member States have implemented the 1995 rules differently, resulting in divergences in enforcement. A single law will do away with the current fragmentation and costly administrative burdens, leading to savings for businesses of around €2.3 billion a year. The initiative will help reinforce consumer confidence in online services, providing a much needed boost to growth, jobs and innovation in Europe.

The Kansas Association of Community Action Programs this month released a report details the prevalance of hunger and poverty in Leavenworth County, along with the state's 104 other counties.
The Kansas Association of Community Action Programs this month released a report details the prevalance of hunger and poverty in Leavenworth County, along with the state's 104 other counties. The KACAP, an organization that oversees the network of local poverty-fighting organizations like the Northeast Kansas Community Action Program that serves Leavenworth County, produced the report. It gathers data regarding poverty levels and measures "food security" — defined as having "enough nutritious food, through socially acceptable means, to support a healthy lifestyle." According to the report, 15 percent of all Kansans were identified as food insecure in 2010, the year for which data was used to produce the report. The highest rate among all Kansans is in Wyandotte County, where 20.3 percent of residents are considered food insecure. The lowest rate is in 8.1 percent in Stanton County, located in the southwestern portion of the state, which KACAP identified as generally having the lowest percentages of food insecurity. The southeastern portion of the state was identified as generally having the highest rates of food insecurity. In raw numbers, food insecurity tends to be concentrated in the most populous areas of the county. In Leavenworth County, 14.4 percent of residents are considered food insecure. The rate among children was according to the study higher than that for the population as a whole, with 22.7 percent, or 162,000, of Kansas children identified as food insecure. The highest rate by county was in Woodson County, where 32.8 percent of children lack adequate food, while the lowest rate was in Greeley County, where 13.6 percent of children are considered food insecure. In Leavenworth County, 19.5 percent of children are food insecure. The report also gives a snapshot of poverty in the state. It indicated that Leavenworth County's median household income, at $60,848, was higher than the state average of $47,888. And while the poverty rate for both all residents and children was less than the state average, at 9.4 and 12.7 percent, respectively, the average unemployment rate was higher than that of the state as whole, as was the rate of participation in the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program, or SNAP.

Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM)
|This article is part of WikiProject Definitions. Consider editing to improve it. View articles referencing this definition.
Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMs), which have become notorious in recent years with the fall of the housing bubble in 2007, are available in 1, 3, 5, 7 and 10 year terms. These mortgages have a fixed rate of interest for during their initial period, after which the rate adjusts based on whatever index the loan is tied to. During the initial period, the borrower pays a lower rate of interest. For instance, the 5yr ARM may have an interest rate of 5% vs. 5.5% for a 30yr fixed mortgage. At the end of the 5 years however, the interest rate is no longer fixed and is reset. If libor is 7%, then the borrower pays 7%. These mortgages can be cheaper than 30yr fixed mortgages, especially in the beginning, but are also riskier. Money Shop Loans

Brad Rimmer (born 1962) is an Australian photographer who works on long term personal projects of portraiture ,landscape and social docmentation. Working within the fine line between art photography and documentary photography his work is about the concepts: identity, belonging, memory and history. His focus is predominanly in the Western Australian Wheat Belt where he grew up and in the past decade on China. His work has been shown in numerous international solo exhibitions, including the 2005 Perth International Arts Festival, the 2004, 2005 and 2008 Pingyao and the 2006 Lianzhou International Photo Festivals in China, the 2006 Brighton Photo Biennial in the United Kingdom, Kaunas Photo 08 in Lithuania, Photoforum PasquArt in Biel/Bienne, Switzerland. In 2009 he was awarded a Mid Career Fellowship from the Western Australian Department of Culture and the Arts in order to publish Silence: the West Australian Wheat-belt regarded by AGWA curator Robert Cook as " one of the most important bodies of images about Western Australia made to date". His photographs are held in numerous National and Corporate collections inclueding the National Gallery of Australia , The Art Gallery of Western Australia, Wesfarmers Arts , Art Bank Sydney, St John of God Hospital Collection and Murdoch University.
I have had the opportunity to use the X100, X-Pro1 and now the incredible X-Pro2. I like the traditional feel of the cameras; they're quick and uncomplicated to use producing beautiful files.
From the beginning with the X100, Fujifilm have developed a range of cameras for photographers who love the act of making pictures. The traditional and intrinsic nature of the cameras, simple and pure yet deceptively powerful and technically advanced. The X100 was the return to a classic operating camera that is digital but film like in appearance.
The X-Pro1 had the advantage of interchangeable lenses, larger sensor and quick focusing.
The X-Pro2 is a serous digital range finder. At first I was using it as a second camera to my medium format digital but it didn't take long before it was equal to and with is size and ability has many advantages over the larger camera. It provides me with the flexibility and freedom that I haven't experienced for a very long time in photography. That instinctive nature between photographer and the camera.
It's invigorating to enjoy "making" a photograph again.

Paul writes: "a new "unstable" version has been released. It fixes 20+ bugs and adds minor functionnalities. Go to sourceforge
Paul writes: "This new version is really close from the stable 2.0 version. What's new: standard acquisition and MARC cataloguing now both useable at the same time; MANY bugfixes; almost everything now templated, a few admin scripts still to template; inclusion of some pictures to say "add", "modify", "delete" in many places; the koha-html cvs tree is now UNUSED, and no mode included in this release. The koha cvs project contains everything. TODO: z39.50 support - a port from the 1.2.x z39.50 support needs to be done; should be quick; fixing bugs - if you find a bug in this version, please take the plane and go for a trip to bugs.koha.org. Feature freeze is there... only z39.50 will be added until 2.0RC1, which should be the next release!
Known bugs *IMPORTANT*: koha does NOT work with MARC::Record 1.12. It works fine with MARC::Record 0.93, and maybe with other versions; repeated subfields in MARC/iso2709 works poorly; in the MARC search, the "not" flag does not work; en and fr are the only languages well supported in this version. Other translator teams are waiting for more stable templates."
PhpMyBibli improved
Fran�ois writes: "Due to the incoming of new developpers, PhpMyBibli (a free library automation system) is now on the right track to become fully functionnal. Jesir Vargas from Puerto Rico has almost completely translate the whole thing in english and spanish and is at the point to finish the portuguese translation. Eric Robert from France did a great job on UNIMARC integration. UNIMARC import is now working fairly, even the 995 field that is crucial for french small libraries. Lots of bugs have been corrected and the code was cleaned in a drastic way by the time we were rearranging the database structure to improve its reliability and speed. We are coding the loan-module to reach version 1.0 during spring." A demo version is available at sourceforge.
Avanti MicroLCS-1.0 beta 2
Peter writes: "Avanti MicroLCS version 1.0 beta 2 has been released. New in beta 2 is a standalone GUI client application. It has the same clean, elegant look and feel of the Applet client, but it does not need to run in a web browser. This makes it possible to deploy Avanti MicroLCS in environments where a web server and browser may not be available or needed. Also in this release are a number of bug fixes, improvements to the API and the user interface. Attention turns to beta 3 development, which will focus on very intensive debugging, testing, and refactoring of the existing system. The aim is to ensure that what exists is rock solid in every way, is scalable, and works extremely well."
Paul writes: "koha 1.9.0 was born a few minutes ago. His parents, the koha-team, are very proud of this almost-stable children. This version includes: dozens of bugfixes; the MARC acquisition part is now completly stable, and used in production in France since december; templating almost ended; translations now available : french (almost finished), chinese, spanish, and polish; circulation now works; non ISO-5589-1 support (for chinese and polish); improvements in marc import in breeding farm; first draft of search in MARC-DB; librarian interface demo (please note that by default this site should be in FRENCH. If you modify parameters, don't forget to put fr again in systemprefs!) Next version planned is 1.9.1."
Fran�ois writes: "This is an announcement for a free (GPL) library automated system based on PHP and MySQL. PhpMyBibli (still in french, sorry...), still in development phase, aims to provide a convenient and easy to use interface for the librarian and the library's public featuring: UNIMARC support (and maybe various flavour of MARC), authorities management, administration made easy for the librarian, advanced OPAC functions : collection browsing, etc...)."
Avanti-1.0 beta 1
Peter writes: "Avanti version 1.0 beta 1 is released. As a beta version, this release is still rough around the edges. But it comes close in form and substance to what is expected of Avanti MicroLCS version 1.0 as a serviceable library system. Although far from perfect, this beta release is a tangible representative of what has been in the works in the past year and what is to come: a simple, flexible, platform independent general purpose library system. Hard work continues at polishing and thoroughly testing version 1.0 proper, which should be available in one or two months. Stay tuned."
pate writes: "Thanks to more hard work by Paul Poulain and his band of french hackers (and thanks to the support of the Nelsonville Public Library), Koha is continuing to improve. The big step this time is the release of Koha 1.3.3, a development release of the branch destined to become Koha 2.0. This release features many bug fixes, improvements to MARC handling, and French, Spanish, and Polish translations (not yet complete but hey, this *is* a development release.) This will be the last 1.3.X release. The next schedule release will be 1.9.0 marking feature completion for the 2.0.0 release."
OpenOPAC for ISIS/WXIS
Nicolas wrote to oss4lib-discuss: "On behalf of the Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales de la Universidad de Buenos Aires (FCEN-UBA), and the Biblioteca Central "Dr. Luis F. Leloir" of FCEN-UBA (Central Library), we are pleased to announce the distribution of "OpenOPAC", our OPAC (Online Public Access Catalog), as a free software, with open source under LGPL (GNU Lesser General Public License). It has been a couple of years now that we have been developing our OPAC on WXIS (also know as WWWIsis, though note that WXIS is not open source), and it has reached some level of "evolution"; meanwhile, the idea has grown in us that it is a good thing to tend towards the open source concept, among other reasons, as a way of cooperation between coutries/institutions/peoples with few resources. That is why, very humbly, yet with some pride, we want to announce that we have made ready a set of IsisScripts combined with HTML and JavaScript for a Web-based OPAC (using WXIS). Showing some lack of imagination, we have called it "OpenOPAC", but we are open to better ideas. This development is far from perfect, but it is a starting point from which we might generate the critical mass necessary to do things in this direction (ISIS/WXIS + open source). It is also a call to collaborate, for those interested in making a better code. If you want a copy of OpenOPAC, please send an email asking for it, including the name of the Institution you work at, to email@example.com."
Paul writes: "We've just released Koha 1.3.2, the next alpha version of the forthcoming 2.0 series. This release features many improvments in MARC management from 1.3.1; acquisition.simple now works; you can upload marc files in a breeding farm; for ISBN/ISSN search in the acquisition screen, with the "New biblio" option and the biblio is in the breeding farm, it's automatically retrieved and can be modified; installer now install marc21 in english or unimarc in french datas; marc parameters complete documentation.
If the 2.0 release sounds exciting to you and you've got some MARC, Perl, or HTML background, please consider jumping in and helping with 2.0 development. There are opportunities for people of all skill levels."

When I started looking at schools, Bowdoin was always near the top of my list. I really liked (and still love) the friendliness of the students, the beauty of our campus, the delicious food, the demanding academics, and the welcoming swim team. I felt at home while visiting and am so glad I've had the opportunity to attend this small liberal arts school in Maine. When I meet prospective students who ask why I chose Bowdoin, I always end by saying that if I had known while applying what I know now, I definitely would have applied early decision. Bowdoin turned out to be the perfect fit for me and I couldn't be happier with my decision to attend. Why did you choose your major? I knew upon matriculating that I was interested in government/international relations, and I was fortunate to take Professor Allen Springer's first year seminar The Pursuit of Peace during the fall semester. That class and the other government classes I took during my first year confirmed my interest in the major. I took an introductory economics class in high school and decided to try economics at Bowdoin, too. After taking Principles of Microeconomics with Professor Deborah DeGraff, I decided to add economics as a second major. She is an incredible teacher; she conveys economic concepts very clearly and is helpful and accessible during office hours. Government and economics are complementary majors, and I enjoy finding and applying their many interdisciplinary connections. What has been a course you especially enjoyed at Bowdoin? I have had great courses at Bowdoin. One course I particularly enjoyed was Middle East Politics with Professor Shelley Deane. I learned so much in that class and, by the end of the semester, felt better able to engage in conversations with others about the Middle East. The course also sparked my interest in continued study in the region. I then enrolled in Ending Civil Wars with Professor Deane and am now doing an honors project examining Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Taliban in Afghanistan. What professor or professors have especially inspired you during your time at Bowdoin? As I outlined above, I have enjoyed Professor Deane's classes immensely and she is now my adviser for my honors project. She does an incredible job conveying a large amount of complex material in an engaging way and making sure her students truly think about the issues presented. Additionally, I have greatly enjoyed my classes with Professor Allen Springer, Professor Paul Franco, and many other members of the government department. The swim team cheering before a home meet. Go U Bears! What extracurricular or work experiences have you had at Bowdoin? I have been very involved in several different capacities on campus. Competing as a member of the swim team has been a defining part of my college career. My high school program was very small, so being part of a large, dedicated, and fun group of people while training and competing for Bowdoin has been a great experience. Also, I have been happy to have Brad Burnham as my coach; he sets a healthy tone for the team and is also a great mentor. I can always trust his advice and workout plans for swimming, and I truly appreciate knowing that I can walk into his office and he will take the time to talk, even though he always has other demands on his time. At the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado. I have also been very involved in the Bowdoin College Democrats since my first year. I have enjoyed getting immersed in Maine politics, learning more about crucial political issues, and working with local, state, and national campaigns to educate students on campus. Celebrating President Barack Obama's election on November 4, 2008, with the College Democrats remains one of my favorite memories. I have also been involved with the McKeen Center for the Common Good. I have mentored the same girl since my first year, and have loved watching her move up from elementary to middle school. In addition, I had the opportunity to organize Common Good Day, which deepened my investment in and appreciation of the McKeen Center. Finally, I have worked as a writing assistant in the Writing Project. I have enjoyed working with my peers on writing and have enjoyed getting a sampling of classes across many disciplines. Caitlin with her host mother in Dakar, Senegal, July 2009. Did you study abroad during your time at Bowdoin? I didn't go abroad during a school year, but I did spend six weeks in Dakar, Senegal, the summer after sophomore year. I stayed with a host mother and took three classes that immersed me in Senegalese culture (my favorite was Senegalese drum and dance!). I learned how to bargain in French, navigate through Dakar, and trust myself in a foreign country. What have you done during your summers? The summer after my first year, I returned to Connecticut and worked in the Wesleyan University stewardship office and as an intern at the Middlesex United Way. At the United Way, I had the opportunity to research the Earned Income Tax Credit and watch how the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program could be better implemented in Middletown. The summer after sophomore year, I spent the first half of the summer in Senegal and then worked at Wesleyan. In addition to usual office work, I researched students and professors' activities and drafted letters to donors. I found it so interesting to see what students were doing at another NESCAC school. The summer after junior year I went to Israel for a week on a program with the Anti-Defamation League, which was an incredible experience, especially given my academic focus on the region. I then spent the rest of the summer at Bowdoin, working in the McKeen Center to organize Common Good Day. I was so happy to spend a summer in Maine and work with the wonderful people at the McKeen Center. What is your favorite Bowdoin memory? The whole past summer at Bowdoin is one of my favorite memories—going to Acadia with 11 friends, exploring Brunswick, trying out different beaches, and meeting new people all contributed to a wonderful summer. What are your plans for after graduation? I'm still trying to figure that out! I'm planning on going to graduate school eventually, but would like to work for a few years first. Right now, I'm interested in exploring opportunities in international development, public policy, or education. What advice would you give to a prospective student or first-year about the Bowdoin experience? Try doing at least one thing (and hopefully more) with the McKeen Center. Working for the common good is an integral part of Bowdoin; community service helps make your education at the College more meaningful and provides incredible connections to the broader community. Remain open to meeting new people throughout your time here, and you will be amazed at how your new community develops. What quirky or fun thing do you wish you had known before you came to Bowdoin? About twice a year around exams, Thorne Dining Hall serves fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies for dessert. Few things compete with freshly baked cookies that literally have chocolate dripping out of them. Story posted on December 01, 2010 « Back | More Student Profiles | Go to News Home
