OSX Timemachine and Samba/Windows share
Hello all,
This is a tutorial on how to use OSX 10.5.2 time machine with a Linux Server/Windows Server/Windows Share. I hope that you have already set up your samba server or windows share on the network if not please read the Samba-Howto or windows file sharing. Also make certain that the shares have read write access! Now create a directory for each OSX computer that you will be using time machine on the server of windows share. I like to use the name of the OSX computer as the directory. My computer is called Hcomp ( you can change the name of your computer in OSX by going to System Preferences->Sharing) so I create a directory called Hcomp on my server.
Now we need to make it possible for timemachine to access our folders on our network. Open up Terminal (Finder->Applications->Utilities->Terminal) and enter in the command 'defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1'.
It now should be possible for time machine to show the samba shares and other non OSX shares, but before we can use these shares we have to mount them. Open Finder and click on G0->Connect to server in the finder menubar at the top. For the Server enter in smb://yourusername@yourservername_or_ip/YourMacOSXComputerName. For example my server is called 'Bob' and my OSX computer name is called 'Hcomp'. The username and password was set up by reading the samba or windows file sharing like. So lets say my my username to access the server is called 'willy' and the password is 'wonka'. I would then enter in for the server address smb://willy@Bob/Hcomp then I would click on the connect button. The prompt will ask you for the password. Enter that in also.
Now open time machine (Finder->Applications->System Preferences->Time Machine) and click on change disk. If you have mounted the directory correctly it should show up when you click on Change Disk. Select the directory that you have just mounted. For me I would select Hcomp. Now turn time machine on and it will wait 2 minutes before running the back up. If it doesn't backup automatically then make sure that the 'Show time Machine status in the menu bar' is checked and click on the round clock on the menu bar at the top of the OSX screen and click on back up now. it now should run for a little bit and give you an error saying that it cannot create image error. This message is fine because it created a file that we needed for this to work.
Next Open the terminal (Finder->Applications->Utilities->Terminal) and type in 'ifconfig en0 | grep ether'. After hitting return the command should have given you something like
ether 00:00:45:12:8a:91. Write this number down without the colons. Now you have to ask yourself how much space to allocate to the time machine back up. This depends on your setup and how much space you have on your server. I choose 100GB my mac only has 100GB partition. Now the next command will create the sparsebundle that time machine needs to make the whole thing work.
'hdiutil create -size 100g -fs HFS+J -volname "TimeMachine Hcomp" Hcomp_000045128a91.sparsebundle'
Do not type this in to the terminal yet without modifying it to your settings. Basically after the '-size 100g' is the maximum size that time machine can be. '-volname "TimeMachine Hcomp" can be changed to '-volname "anything that you want"' but the last part of the command is important. Remember you wrote down the numbers for your mac
ether 00:00:45:12:8a:91.
Well for the last part replace 'Hcomp with you computer name and _000045128a91 with the number that you wrote down.
The last paragraph might be confusing so here is another example.
Servername: Server
OSXComputerName: OSX
Size of time machine space : 200GB
command 'hdiutil create -size 200g -fs HFS+J -volname "OSX Backup" OSX_00001F128292.sparsebundle'
Now you should a file like Hcomp_000045128a91.sparsebundle or OSX_00001F128292.sparsebundle on your computer. Now copy this file to the server by issuing 'cp -R Hcomp_000045128a91.sparsebundle /Volumes/Hcomp' or 'cp -R OSX_00001F128292.sparsebundle /Volumes/OSX' but remember to replace sparsebundle with your sparsebundle or you will get an error. If everything worked correctly click on the time machine button at the top (the round clock icon on the menu bar) and do backup now. It should run and will take at long time the first time you do this.
Happy travels through time.

Weighing the risks of 1TB drives
| One terabyte SATA and SAS drives are here. And when larger capacity drives come to market, people always cram them with data. That being said, what are the implications of storing that much data in one place? The risk is the same as it ever was: data loss. However, storing a terabyte of data in one place certainly makes the risk of data loss more acute. Experts agree that it's very important to match these drives to the right tasks. For now, it looks like that's still secondary storage.
"When it comes to nearline storage, its all about capacity," says Willis Whittington, senior manager of market development at Seagate Technology. And while Whittington was unwilling to comment on specific release dates for Seagate disks larger than 1TB, he did say that "You can expect to see a 40% to 50% increase in aerial density from generation to generation."
With disks this large, rebuild time for failed drives is a legitimate concern. That's why RAID 6 is often recommended, as it protects against dual-disk failure. However, "RAID 6 is duct tape," says Greg Schulz, founder and senior analyst at StorageIO Group, Stillwater, MN. "It's RAID 5 with an extra parity disk. Basically you're saying 'It's going to take even longer to rebuild, but at least I'm protected.'"
RAID 6 is an excellent added layer of protection in operations in which you would typically use RAID 5, says Schulz. However, you don't want to rely on RAID 6 for really demanding primary storage tasks, says Schulz. "If you have to depend on RAID 6 because you can't tolerate exposure [associated with extended rebuild times], you probably want to take a look at your choice of drives and the quality of the drives."
SATA disks have a reputation for being a little more wobbly at the spindle, and vibration has been a major reliability factor. But, says Whittington, this is becoming less of a concern, especially at the high end. "It's all about the fine tuning," he says. "The drives themselves can't do anything about reducing vibration because that's an external thing. What they can do is react to the vibration. And that's in the servo system."
In high-end drives, vibration tolerance is accomplished by programming the read/ write heads to compensate for vibration. "However, to do this you have to spend some money," says Seagate's Whittington. "We have to put something in the drives that's going to increase [the] cost for users."
| In addition, some RAID controllers do preemptive rebuilds as a way of preventing disk failure. Controllers monitor the drives and then take a drive out of operation if there are signs of abnormal operation. This feature is far from ubiquitous, and not all RAID controllers perform this function the same way. According to StorageIO Group's Schulz, some vendors' firmware is overly sensitive, which can trip off false rebuilds; this can have a negative impact on performance due to the processing demands of the rebuild. "You really have to talk to other users and research the reputation of different systems," says Schulz.
Power consumption is a concern with drives of any size. The so-called "green storage" movement, which many vendors are scrambling to associate themselves with, promises products that expend less energy, generate less heat and generally make everyone feel good. For example, Seagate Technology offers a 1TB drive with PowerTrim, a feature it claims reduces power consumption at the drive level.
"If you're not using something, why power it?" says Whittington. "If you're doing a write, can you shut down all the read electronics and circuitry associated with that?" Depending on the app, in theory, this could translate into a significant reduction in power consumption.
Hitachi Data Systems and Western Digital also offer 1TB drives that accomplish power reduction using a variety of techniques, including idling the disks. These features could potentially increase reliability by reducing the amount of heat the drives are subjected to.
In a related note, drives that use solid-state memory as large onboard cache could emerge down the road. This additional memory would allow the drives to perform many operations while the disks sit idle, further reducing power consumption. [Note: Check out "Solid-state storage finds its niche"]
"Anything that involves flash, that makes sense; we'll be driving it for sure," says Whittington. However, according to Jerome M. Wendt, lead analyst and president at DCIG, this technology is most likely a long way off for most users.

Five auto transport trucks left Clearwater this afternoon packed with 28 vehicles from the staff and players. When everyone arrives in Philadelphia on Thursday night, the vehicles will be there.
Jamie Moyer, J. A. Happ and Mike Zagurski threw off the mound at the half field early this morning. Happ was first at 8 a.m. One of the catchers looked familiar, Eric Bruntlett. Yes, Eric was wearing the tools of ignorance. "This isn't too thick," Eric said to Mick Billmeyer while adjusting the chest protector. "Foul balls may sting a little," replied Mick.
With four more Grapefruit League games remaining after today, the Phillies will finish with a losing record for the ninth time in the last 10 springs. Only winning spring in that span: 19-11 in 2006.
Remember, there are no championship trophies in the Grapefruit League.

NEW YORK, July 9 (UPI) -- Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson and Martin Short paid tribute to the late writer-director Nora Ephron at a memorial in New York's Alice Tulley Hall Monday.
Ephron died June 26 of complications from leukemia. She was 71.
The Hollywood Reporter said she pre-planned her entire memorial service, including the location and list of speakers. She even had one-of-a-kind recipes tucked into the individual programs, the newspaper said.
"I believe that when people pass, they zoom into the people that love them the most. So, if that's the case, then all of us here have a piece of Nora," Short said at the ceremony. "And that's the way it should be. Because life would just seem all too mundane without her. And if she's a part of us, we must be more like her: read everything, savor everything, talk to the person on your left, embrace laughter like it's a drug, drink more pink champagne, and yes, brush up your style."
Her sons Jacob and Max also celebrated her wit, warmth and strength.
"She was the most fantastic blend of joy and cynicism. She was my best friend, my biggest cheerleader and a total drill sergeant, which is basically what a great parent is supposed to be," Jacob said. "Some other things I will miss about mom: her roast beef with Yorkshire pudding, the way she kept at least 10 different kinds of jam in her refrigerator, how we wept and we cried together upon finding out that Pat Buchanan would no longer be a regular on Rachel Maddow ... and the fact that we cannot discuss the breakup of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' marriage, and the fact that she would have found that just as fascinating as the fact that John Roberts was the deciding vote on healthcare."
Also in attendance were Al Franken, Barbara Walters, Diane Sawyer, Alan Alda, Graydon Carter, Rob Reiner, Jon Hamm, Jennifer Westfeldt and Scott Rudin, The Hollywood Reporter said.
UsMagazine.com spotted Meg Ryan, Bette Midler, Matthew Broderick, Steven Spielberg, Lorne Michaels, Steve Martin, Kristin Chenoweth and Martha Stewart.
Ephron's film credits include "When Harry Met Sally," "My Blue Heaven," "Sleepless in Seattle," "You've Got Mail" and "Julie & Julia."

'Minimalism': Ryan Nicodemus, Joshua Fields Millburn
Ryan Nicodemus and Joshua Fields Millburn were living the American dream. In their late 20s, they had successful careers and were each earning six figures. They had expensive cars and homes and worked 80 hours a week to attain their financial goals.
But something was missing. So they quit their jobs, stopped living large and got rid of most of their possessions. They took the time to find out what they were passionate about.
Millburn and Nicodemus started a blog and named themselves the Minimalists. The blog gained a following of 100,000 visitors a month, which led to the publication of their co-authored guide to help others simplify their lives, "Minimalism: Live a Meaningful Life." They are touring North America in the Minimalists' 2012 Holiday Happiness Tour.
The duo's first event was in St. Petersburg, Fla., about a year ago.
"That first night a bunch of folks showed up from Occupy Tampa," Millburn says. He figured their core audience would be the Occupy movement. Then the next night they had about 50 professors in Orlando, then in Atlanta a former CEO of a large corporation.
"It was interesting because he had the same problems that the Occupy folks had and the professors had," Millburn says. "We all have the human condition and thus similar problems.
"We put labels on people, as if someone who makes a lot of money is a bad person or a good person," he says. "I think that's ridiculous. Your net worth has nothing to do with your human worth."
"Minimalism," Millburn says, has allowed the men to focus on what's important. They are passionate about helping people to assess whether their lifestyle and work situations are in conflict with what could make them happy.
"Today we're in a world that is a lot more media saturated, where we are constantly bombarded with advertisements - we get so used to it that we don't even question it anymore," Millburn says. "I think minimalism is a reaction to that."
Minimalism itself doesn't create happiness, he says: "You can get rid of all of your possessions and still be miserable. Minimalism is the initial bite of the apple that changes everything."
7 p.m. Thursday. (Dec. 20). Free. A Temporary Offering, 1106 Market St., S.F. www.theminimalists.com.

Digital music is too easy for people to focus on it properly, according to the creators of the VinylLove iPad app, pictured above, which they claim restores key attributes of the vinyl age: digging through crates to find an album, dropping the needle on a particular track, and sitting back with friends as the record turns, with that familiar-to-some vinyl crackle.
After testing Color Monkey's VinylLove ($5), we're charmed, despite (or perhaps because of) the app's limitations. Prop your iPad up near your speakers, and it does a fine job of playing your music with more intentionality than required by more digital-minded players, and looks great doing it.
"Today, in many cases, the digital version of a former analog product just becomes less — less of a lot of things," explained Color Monkey co-founder and CEO Per Ögren (full interview below). "If you listen to Spotify, you have unlimited access to music, so you can hear everything. But you don't really listen to it. One aspect of this app is that you should listen to music the way it was intended, in the order that it was recorded."
Using VinylLove to listen to music is an oddly new way to listen to digital music stored on your iPad. It starts when you browse your music collection in the Record Collection view, crate by alphabetized crate — more or less in the way you would peruse your records if you were a hyper-organized vinyl fiend. And all of your music is imported automatically, so it's there the first time you run the app.
Swiping the screen flips through the records in the crates. When you find something you want to hear, tapping it brings up the record player view pictured at the top of this post. VinylLove starts playing the first track automatically, with the warm, vinyl crackling sound so prized by fans of the format (if you've never heard it before, imagine the sound of a fire quietly smoldering). We didn't notice the crackling sound once the music started, and Color Monkey applies no other audio processing. The crackle didn't seem to interfere with songs once they got going — instead, they just added to the charm of the app, and made it a better party trick for your next get-together.
You can also drop the needle on any other track in order to play it instantly, as a handy slider view at the top of the screen shows you which track is which. After all, a return to this "analog" format needn't mean a return to unlabeled vinyl tracks.
In this screenshot, I'm dragging the needle to a new track on the record. Note the navigation bar at the top (something it would be nice to have on real record players).
Meanwhile, an AirPlay mode allows listeners to queue up albums without walking across the room.
Still, this app isn't perfect. For instance, like other playback apps (iTunes and iPod included), VinylLove is no good at figuring out that multiple tracks from different artists belong to the same compilation. And it only works with music stored on your iPad, as opposed to a music locker like Orb or on-demand service such as MOG, Rhapsody, or Spotify — an integration that would seem to complete co-founder Mikael Peterson's vision. (He originally demonstrated this idea by playing a loop of vinyl crackling as music played on Spotify, as mentioned in the interview below.)
But VinylLove for iPad does accomplish its goal, which is to make music something you listen to intentionally after some deliberation, rather than just letting a playlist run its course or clicking the skip button every time you hear something you don't love at first listen. It's a bit gimmicky, and you might find it odd to spend money in order to limit the playback features of your iPad. However, we'd nonetheless recommend VinylLove for your next dinner party — assuming you feel it's worth $5 to amuse yourself and your guests by picking out albums "by hand" and listening to them in order.
Here's the text (slightly edited) of Evolver.fm's email interview with Per Ögren co-founder of the Sweden-based app developer Color Monkey, for those completists out there:
Eliot Van Buskirk, Evolver.fm: How did the idea for VinylLove come about? What was missing from the usual digital audio players?
Per Ögren, co-founder and CEO, Color Monkey We were reminiscing, and realized there's just something about that sound of old vinyl records. Actually, [Color Monkey co-founder and creative director] Mikael [Peterson], who'd just bought a bit-too-expensive turntable, wouldn't shut up about it. He started to play this dust/crackle loop on his iTunes at the same time as he played regular music on his Spotify. We were all surprised by how well that worked. Even though wasn't the 100 percent analog sound you got from a real record player, it was a 100 percent feeling of nostalgia. We set out to bottle that nostalgia and ship it to, well, everyone with an iPad.
We think that today, in many cases, the digital version of a former analog product just becomes less — less of a lot of things. If you listen to Spotify, you have unlimited access to music, so you can hear everything. But you don't really listen to it. One aspect of the app is that you should listen to music the way it was intended, in the order it was recorded.
We are also very interested in bringing a dying format to a younger audience. Kids (toddlers) of today have never seen a turntable, and this will be a new and physical way for them to interact. They will not experience VinylLove at all the same as an adult who once had a turntable, but we believe that the tactile and physical aspects of the player will bring something new and make music mean more, even for the little ones.
Evolver.fm: What sort of audio processing happens? I heard some vinyl crackling. Is there any other vinyl-style audio processing going on?
Ögren: VinylLove adds an effect when you put down the needle and then you have this soft dust/crackle sound on for the duration of the record. You usually don't hear it except for in between songs or during silent parts of a song. If you listen to the entire record, you will here how the needle bounces back over and over again at the end [reminding you to put the next record on].
We also added an effect for placing the arm in its holder, but we definitely didn't want to over do it. It would have been so easy to just go crazy with effects everywhere, but then we feel people would get tired of it all. At least we would.
Evolver.fm: What file types are supported?
Ögren: VinylLove plays music from your iPad's iPod app, so it can play all the formats your iPad can play. And it is all automatic [as in the music library is important automatically], so you don't have to do anything but open VinylLove, and "boom, there it is."
Evolver.fm: How did you decide to use record crates as the navigation mechanism?
Ögren: Is there another way of properly organizing vinyl records? In Sweden, everyone used to use old plastic crates used to package soft drinks in the super market. They came in a number of different colors, and they are the source of inspiration for the crate system.
Evolver.fm: What dooes listener and his or her friends gain from having to select each album (or single) that plays?
Ögren: Honestly? They will probably get annoyed at first. But then they'll like how the needle bounces, and how it just feels right. Later, they will choose which record to listen to a bit more carefully, and they will not click next over and over [the way they do with a regular digital music player]. They will listen to all of the tracks on each album, and they will enjoy tracks they never would have listened to on their iPod. It's hard to explain. There's just something special about listening to music this way.
Evolver.fm: How do you envision people using VinylLove?
Ögren: We imagined it to be perfect for having in the dock next to your stereo-system — that it would become a nice interior design piece, rather than just a gadget/music player. We also envisioned it adding a cozy feeling to someone's apartment as they walked around alone with a glass of wine in their hand (or something less cheesy).
But after talking to friends and users though it seems like it's a quite social app. People play around with it and pass it around. Browsing through someone else's record collection seems to be a big hit as well. Borrowing someone's iPad, now, is like walking into someone's old room at their parents' house and sitting down next to the old stereo to find out what type of person they really are. And with the scratch functionality, VinylLove is even more playful that we first thought it to be. But the best part: Private or social, it works both ways.
Play it, feel it, LOVE it.
Do you miss the old way of listening to music? Carefully choosing which record to listen to? Enjoying every single track, in the order they where meant to be listened to? Do you miss that familiar crackling sound? The fiddling with the pickup? The very smell of vinyl? We do! And that is why we created this sleek vinyl record player for you to carry with you everywhere you go. Or to show off in your deskstand next to your stereo system.
VinylLove is all about nostalgia. Browse through your record collection in a nice record crate system, listen to the albums one by one or if you like, use the pickup to find the right track (zoom in if you want to start in a certain place on a track). It even has the nice crackling sound to it. And oh yeah, we haven't really solved the vinyl-scent part yet, but we hope this is doable with the iPhone5 (?)

Saint Sava's Day in New York City
On Sunday, January 29, 2012 the slava of the Serbian church of Saint Sava in New York City. On that occasion His Grace Bishop Maxim of Western America led the solemn liturgical celebration with the concelebration of the head of the church f. Djokan Majstorovic, f. Vladislav Radujkovic, guests from the Seminary of St. Tihon and two deacons.
After the Holy Liturgy the slava cake was blessed and cut, which was turned by dozens of hands of children-pupils of Sunday school along with the Bishop and the pupils of the Serbian language school of the Serbian Club in Queens.

If using a small monkey to cut off sections of clothing is your thing, listen up. Dancing Eye is coming to the PS3, complete with Move support.
Back in April, a PS3 Dancing Eye title was listed as cancelled, something that made waves online. It seems Namco took note, and according to Japanese game magazine Famitsu, the game is no longer canned.
Famitsu didn't provide a release date, but did provide screenshots, which look pretty much like you'd think they would.

Posted on 26 June 2014
(GLAND, Switzerland, 26 June 2014) - Israel, Finland and the U.S. provide the best conditions today for clean technology start-up creation according to the second edition of the Global Cleantech Innovation Index, released today by Cleantech Group and WWF.
While China and Brazil currently fall outside of the top bracket of start-up generators they are strong commercializers of cleantech , and even the laggards, such as Russia and Saudi Arabia have shown a significant move towards clean technology over the last few years.
The Index explores the question of where sustainable innovation companies are being created across the globe, as well as how well their products are being commercialized. It looks at why entrepreneurial companies, developing sustainable innovations, seem to spring up in certain geographies, and which economic, social and environmental conditions cultivate hotbeds for such innovation.
Richard Youngman, managing director Europe & Asia for Cleantech Group says, 40 countries, including all G20 countries, were evaluated on 15 indicators related to the creation and commercialisation of cleantech start-ups. "The result is an index which measures each one's potential - relative to their economic size - to produce entrepreneurial cleantech start-up companies who will commercialize clean technology innovations over the next 10 years."
Samantha Smith, leader of WWF's Global Climate and Energy Initiative says cleantech is finally coming of age. "Since the first Global Cleantech Innovation Index was produced just two years ago, we have seen a real increase in the disruptive start-ups we need to shrink our footprint on this planet. And that increase is spread across different countries, with some leading but all making progress. Of course, much more needs to be done in every country and by investors if we are to properly address climate change and achieve a transition towards a 100% renewable energy future."
The Index identifies three country archetypes in the cleantech innovation landscape: the Start-Up Generators, the Strong Commercializers and the Laggards:
- All the top 10 countries in the index (Israel, Finland, USA, Sweden, Denmark, UK, Canada, Switzerland, Germany, and Ireland) are good at early stage cleantech development but share a common challenge in increasing commercialization rates. They share the country archetype of being good cleantech Start-Up Generators.
- While countries like China and Brazil currently fall outside of the top bracket of start-up generators they are Strong Commercializers of cleantech in terms of investing in scaling business, job creation and attracting investments for deployment on large domestic markets.
- The Laggards in the index, such as Saudi Arabia and Russia, are behind the competition but showing increasing support structures for sustainable innovation being built up in terms of ambitious renewable energy targets being set and cleantech being prioritised in key national innovation incubators respectively.
Stefan Henningsson, WWF senior advisor on climate innovation says cleantech innovation now permeates all realms of the economy, impacting industries as diverse as ICT, healthcare, food, electronics, chemicals and retail. "The cleantech entrepreneurs provide valuable insight and inspiration for policy makers, investors and industry to act and be a proactive part of the global circular economy."
The index demonstrates that countries get ahead if they:
- are able to adapt to the growing demand for renewable energy (at home and abroad);
- are connecting start-ups with multiple channels (e.g. multinational corporates, public procurement) to increase their success rates; and
- are increasing international engagement to spur widespread adoption of clean technologies.
Michele Parad, senior analyst for the Cleantech Group says "many of the exciting opportunities ahead in further development and scaling up of the most innovative cleantech solutions to the global market lie in increased strategic cooperation between Start-Up Generators and Strong Commercializers."
The term cleantech has been used interchangeably with 'resource innovation', 'industrial efficiency', 'sustainable technology', but all essentially have the same meaning – doing more while using fewer materials, less energy and reduced water - while making money doing so. Nuclear and fossil fuels have been excluded from any calculations in the index that relates to energy.

What an excellent teaching tool!
What an excellent teaching tool!
I am going to try something new the next time I do a bibilographic instruction class. Instead of asking the students why they have entered into their particular field of study, my usual warm up question, I am going to ask them what sucks about the library. I want to hear what they have to say so I can address certain issues and make changes, but I am scared. What if they complain about things I can do nothing about? What if they hurt my feelings? Oh well. I cannot market and promote without input.
A comment timid and overly protective of our materials…
The other day someone had left a nearly full can of diet coke near the entrance of my library. It's small library so I just held it up and aksed if it belonged to anyone before I threw it away. It did and the patron said, "I didn't want to bring it in." I replied, "oh, you can have it in here, that's no big deal." "Really?" "Yes, really. You can have food to and use your cell phone! There are worse things that could happen here then a spill." I was thinking about the high amount of theft I have experienced recently. "Are you the librarian here?" "Yes. Why?" "I have never heard a librarian talk like that."

Nicole Lapin is the anchor of CNBC's early morning show, Worldwide Exchange.
Brian Stelter is a media reporter for the New York Times.
Together, they are media's latest power couple.
They came out with the relationship at Monday night's premiere of Page One, a documentary about Times Media Desk.
Lapin posted this smoochy pic to Instagram and Tumblr:
In a tweet, Lapin calls Stelter: "my boy wonder robot."
It's a reference to something Times media columnist David Carr says in the movie: "I still can't get over the feeling that Brian Stelter was a robot assembled in the basement of The New York Times to come and destroy me."
Carr explains in an interview:
The robot part is that he moves his elbow and content comes out. While he's chatting, he's also tweeting and blogging—and, you know, I'll think that's cute, and then the next day he'll be on the front page with a synthetic piece about the analytics of television or new media, which he also covers. If Brian wasn't such a decent guy, I would actually slip something into his food or quietly suffocate him with a pillow.
Stelter's other nickname is Svelter, earned for having lost many pounds and gaining lantern-jaw style good looks.
We hear Lapin and Stelter have been dating for a while and now and have been quiet about it.
The gossip is that Stelter had to clear the relationship with his editors before he was allowed to go public with it. Lapin is techinically in his beat. UPDATE: Stelter clarifies:
The gossip is wrong. I informed my editor (not editors) immediately, on May 31, and I suggested that I refrain from covering CNBC in a significant way in the future.
My editor told Gawker: From now on, "he just doesn't cover CNBC. If there's a passing reference to the network in a blog post or ratings story, I'm not going to get too worked up. We'll steer clear of anything beyond that."

2 John 7-11 New International Version (NIV)
7 I say this because many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist. 8 Watch out that you do not lose what we[a] have worked for, but that you may be rewarded fully. 9 Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. 10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take them into your house or welcome them. 11 Anyone who welcomes them shares in their wicked work.

Should I call the doctor if my child has a cough?
If your child's cough doesn't get better after about a week, yes. And, of course, if your child ever seems to be having serious trouble breathing, call 911 right away. But in general, it's time to call the doctor if your child has a cough and:
- is younger than 3 months old
- is breathing more rapidly than usual or looks like he's working harder to breathe
- is wheezing
- is coughing up mucus that's yellow, green, or blood-streaked
- has a fever of at least 101 degrees Fahrenheit if he's 3 to 6 months old
- has a fever of at least 103 degrees Fahrenheit if he's 6 months or older
- has a chronic illness, such as heart or lung disease
- coughs so hard that he vomits
- gets a persistent cough after choking on something
Can I give my child cough medicine?
Even if you think it's just a cold, ask the doctor before giving your child over-the-counter cough or cold medicine.
Most doctors discourage giving these medications to young children. The American Academy of Pediatrics cautions parents never to use these products for children younger than 4. And even for children age 4 to 6, use these medications only if your child's doctor recommends it.
Once your child is 6 years old, you can give him an over-the-counter cough or cold medicine – just make sure it's appropriate for his age and measure each dose exactly according to the directions. Also, never give your child more than one type of cough or cold medicine at a time. They often include multiple ingredients, and you wouldn't want to give your child a double dose of any of them.
For tips on other ways to soothe your child's cough and cold symptoms, see our article on safe home remedies.
What could be causing my child's cough?
There are lots of possibilities, and some will warrant a call to your child's doctor. Here are some of the most common causes of a cough:
The common cold
If your child has a cold, he may be coughing and sneezing with a runny or stuffy nose, watery eyes, little or no appetite, and possibly a low fever.
Respiratory syncytial virus
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is most common in babies and young children, though children of any age can get it. Symptoms of RSV are similar to cold symptoms but with a worsening cough and labored breathing in addition.
RSV usually strikes between November and mid-March, and sometimes it's no more troublesome than a cold. But it can lead to more serious respiratory illnesses, such as bronchiolitis (inflammation of the small breathing tubes) and pneumonia (inflammation of the lungs), especially in babies less than a year old.
The hallmark of croup is a deep cough that sounds like a bark and is often worse at night. Croup can also cause stridor (a high-pitched whistling sound) when your child breathes in.
As horrible as this cough can sound, in most cases it's not too serious and can be treated at home. Still, it couldn't hurt to call your doctor for advice. She may want you to bring in your child for an examination.
Allergies, asthma, and environmental irritants
A child who's allergic to something in his environment, such as cat dander or dust mites, may seem to have a cold that never goes away. Allergies can cause a stuffy or runny nose with clear mucus as well as a cough from the constant postnasal drip (mucus running down the back of his sinuses into his throat).
Children with asthma tend to cough a lot, too, especially at night. If your child has asthma he may also have chest congestion, wheezing, and difficulty breathing. If your child starts coughing after he's been running around (exercise-induced asthma), that's another clue that asthma may be to blame. Exposure to cold can also trigger a cough in a child with asthma.
Another possibility is that an environmental irritant, like cigarette smoke or pollution, is making your child cough. Of course, in this case you'll want to identify and eliminate the problem right away.
Pneumonia or Bronchitis
Many cases of pneumonia, an infection in the lungs, start out as a cold. If your child has a cold that seems to be getting worse, a persistent cough, difficulty breathing, a fever, body aches, and chills, call his doctor for an appointment.
Bronchitis results when the bronchi (tubes that carry air to the lungs) become infected, often after a cold or flu. It can cause a nagging cough for several weeks.
If your child has bacterial pneumonia or bronchitis, he may need an antibiotic to clear up the infection and cough. (If the infection is viral, he'll get better without antibiotics.)
If he has a cough and a runny nose that has lasted for at least 10 days with no sign of improvement – and your doctor has ruled out pneumonia and bronchitis – your child may have sinusitis. This bacterial infection of the sinus cavities causes a lingering cough because mucus is constantly draining down the back of the throat, triggering the cough reflex.
If the doctor determines that your child has sinusitis, she'll prescribe an antibiotic. The cough should stop after the sinuses are clear again.
Swallowing or inhaling an object
A cough that has persisted for a week or more without any other signs of illness (like runny nose, fever, or lethargy) or allergies (clear discharge) could mean that your child has something stuck in his throat or lungs. This scenario is more common among small children who are mobile, have access to small objects, and like to put things in their mouth.
If your child's doctor suspects that a foreign body is causing the cough, she'll order a chest X-ray. If it shows something trapped in the lungs, the object will have to be removed surgically.
Whooping cough
Whooping cough, also known as pertussis, has become less common thanks to widespread use of the DTaP vaccine, but outbreaks still occur and in some places are on the rise. More than 48,000 cases were reported in the United States in 2012.
A child with whooping cough typically coughs nonstop for 20 or 30 seconds, and then struggles to breathe before the next coughing spell starts. Your child may also have cold symptoms, such as sneezing, runny nose, and a mild cough, for up to two weeks before more severe coughing spells begin. If this sounds like what your child has, call his doctor right away. Whooping cough can be severe, especially in babies younger than a year old.
Cystic fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis affects about 1 in 3,000 children in the United States, and a constant cough with thick yellow or green mucus is one of the strongest indications that a child may have inherited the condition. Other signs include recurrent pneumonia and sinus infections, not gaining weight, salty-tasting skin, and large, greasy stools.
Sometimes a child develops a cough from an illness and continues to cough out of habit, even after he's otherwise healthy. If your child is coughing out of habit, he won't do it while he's sleeping, and it will rarely interfere with his eating or speaking. However, it can be disruptive (in a classroom, for example).

Media Advisory: Roswell Park to Host Be the Match Bone Marrow Donor Drive June 3
WHAT: Each year, more than 30,000 children and adults will be diagnosed with diseases for which a bone marrow transplant is the only chance for cure. Only 30% will find a matching donor within their family. Over the past 25 years, Be The Match, operated by the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP), has managed the largest and most diverse marrow registry in the world.
You can help save a life by donating bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cells. A simple swab of the inside of the donor's cheek provides the necessary tissue typing information, which is put into the NMDP to record individuals who have agreed to join the registry and potentially donate marrow or stem cells. Potential donors can then be matched with patients of the same tissue type.
A transplant involves replacing the patient's bone marrow with healthy new blood-forming cells. Donors must be between 18 to 44 years old and should not have any history of cancer, diabetes or heart problems. Drive costs are being covered by the NMDP and Marrow Drive Rochester.
WHEN: Tuesday, June 3, 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
WHERE: Main lobby, Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, Elm & Carlton Streets, Buffalo, N.Y.
INTERVIEWS: Blood and marrow transplants are used to treat many cancers and other serious diseases, including sickle cell anemia. Currently, several Roswell Park pediatric and adult patients in need of blood/stem-cell transplants are seeking a matching donor. To interview families about the need for marrow/stem-cell donations, contact Annie Deck-Miller at 716-845-8593/mobile 716-602-5817.
The mission of Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center is to understand, prevent and cure cancer. Founded in 1898, Roswell Park is one of the first cancer centers in the country to be named a National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center and remains the only facility with this designation in Upstate New York. The Institute is a member of the prestigious National Comprehensive Cancer Network, an alliance of the nation's leading cancer centers; maintains affiliate sites; and is a partner in national and international collaborative programs. For more information, visit www.roswellpark.org, call 1-800-ROSWELL (1-800-767-9355) or email firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow Roswell Park on Facebook and Twitter.

The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
This isn't going to be the typical book review like I've written. This one is different, because this book is different. I told myself I wouldn't cry but damn it, when I hit page 246 it was all over for me....
Hazel and Augustus have cancer, which is sad enough in and of itself, but not when they are together. Separately, these characters live in their oblivion and inevitable death, but together, they sparkle. Try as they might, cancer beat them in the footrace of their lives...
Green's writing is STELLAR (and this is not a pun on his book title either) and truly flows. It's not only his style of writing, but the words he chooses, the characters he introduces as satellites around Hazel and Augustus, and the glimpses he gives to the readers about the life of these particular teens living with cancer. Green writes with wit and humor hand-in-hand with all seriousness. It's an oxymoron he creates with balance. I don't think I ever laughed out loud, but I did find an plethora of emotion...love, hate, anger, happiness, pain,bliss, to name a few...
Green even created a book-within-a-book so well, you'd have to do a Google search on the book referred to in The Fault in Our Stars to realize how many times people (including myself, I admit) did a search for it.
This is one truly talented author. One of the best books I've read bar none. Recommended for...well for anyone who wants to take on the "I dare you not to cry before finishing this book" dare. I can't WAIT to give it someone else RIGHT NOW!!!

Book trailer: In Too Deep by Amanda Grace
I've always enjoyed realistic fiction....I could definitely see this as a big draw for YA girls. Enjoy!

U.S. Map of YA Books (including trailers, but not the 18 wheeler kind)
So, I've been digging around, looking here and there and made a cool map of the newest (at least 3 years or younger) YA novels I believe are phenomenal. I ordered them by state (some states I couldn't find any for!) and added some "stuff." So, as the Edgar Winter Group sang back in the day:
The mountain is high, the valley is low
And you're confused 'bout which way to go
So I flew here to give you a hand
And lead you into the promised land
So, come on and take a free ride (free ride)
Come on and take it by my side
Come on and take a free ride
(Free Ride, 1973. Written by Dan Harman)

Dark Eden by Patrick Carman
Will Besting has a secret terror. He's been in therapy for a few years, but he has yet to tell his therapist what it is. He doesn't quite trust her. Will has even gone so far as to "steal" audio sessions not only of his, but of other patients as well. He doesn't think he has a problem with his fear, but his parents nor Dr. Stevens, his counselor agree.
So when Dr. Stevens offers Will the chance to completely eradicate his fear at a compound called Fort Eden, Will still isn't on board. The only person he slightly trusts is his younger brother, Keith. They're as different as brothers could be - Keith, the athlete; Will the techno-geek. It's when Keith announces, "you're going," that Will knows Dark Eden can't be avoided.
Along with six other teens, Will starts his journey toward recovery with one exception. While the others tentatively step into Fort Eden, Will dodges the group and decides he won't be a part of it. He finds himself on the inside, hiding the basement, and more surprisingly, he finds the monitors. It's from there that he watches and see what happens to the other six, including the procedure for the cure they endure. Will knows it's only a matter of time until he goes through the procedure as well...but can he endure it or not?
Patrick Carman has yet again reached a wide audience with this thrilling book about teens and technology. What makes this book so intriguing is the not so obvious plot that is thinly drawn in and displayed in full at the end of the book. Part realistic fiction, part fantasy, Carman weaves a quick read that will be hard to put down. And what Carman is best known for, his book has a technological side - an app readers can download onto their iPads or iPhones. Appropriate for junior high and high school, this thriller adventure is the perfect book for guy readers but equally placed for girl readers as well. The publisher produced book trailer only heightens the drama that unfolds (Youtube: Dark Eden trailer). Highly recommended.

Audition by Stacia Ward Kehoe
Until her new life takes over. Sara has lost her cocoon of normality. In her ballet company, she's not like the other big city girls, her training has been different, and her host family and their home isn't what she expected. Pile on schoolwork from an elite private school, and Sara begins to feel the pressure of living a completely different life without her parents, her friends, her small town.
But with time, things slowly begin to change, especially when she catches the attention of another dancer/choreographer, Remington, who is much older than she is. She becomes his muse, making his dance come to life as well as Sara's heart, but is Sara truly loved or being used? Sara tries to balance it all, but it just may be too much. And where exactly does she fall in Remington's life?
Newcomer Stacia Kehoe writes a novel-in-verse about the trials of a sixteen-year-old in the midst of her triumphs and tragedies. Kehoe creates that on-the-edge of adulthood situation teens find themselves in control of while outsider's see innocence being played out. Paired together with the tough and arduous part of a newcomer to the ballet world, this book rings true about the hard work and ethics dancers put upon themselves. It also does an excellent job of depicting a small town teen and the responsibilities and slip-ups that come along with wanting to deal with life on her own. Teens who love reading about interpersonal relationships will grativate toward this book. Recommended for high school.

It's Hollywood Night in the "Dancing With the Stars" glitterdome, and the remaining 11 couples added a little extra splash and dash to the ol' Tinseltown glitz and glamour.
And while "DWTS" celebrated this business called show, science lost a couple of crucial entertainment elements this week, as Bill Nye and Tyne Stecklein were the second couple eliminated from the Season 23 competition (just a day after "Breaking Bad" ended its run!).
Despite the boos in the crowd and the subsequent chants of "Bill! Bill! Bill!" in the studio audience, perhaps it was just as well that this beloved, yet ballroom dance-challenged Science Guy left at this point in the competition. The fan favorite, after all, had torn a ligament in his left thigh the week before and didn't even know if he would be able to dance.
PHOTOS: Meet the cast of 'Dancing with the Stars'
And ever the practical guy, Bill knew where he stood in the competition. "There are people here who are working so hard, who are so good — you see how they're improving every week. I'm not going to keep up with that," the scientist reasoned. "What breaks my heart is Tyne's not going to stay in. She's fantastic."
Christina Milian and Mark Ballas also faced elimination in the (not necessarily) bottom two. Brant Daugherty and Peta Murgatroyd were also in jeopardy.
How did the contestants fare on Hollywood Night? Let's make a word cloud and see what's trending.
At the top of the Week 3 leader board were Brant Daugherty and Peta Murgatroyd, despite a tough couple of days. First, the "Pretty Little Liars" actor hurt his foot. Then he lost his phone. And then got robbed at gunpoint. But Brant was able to turn his mugging lemon into lemonade (he gave the guy a T-shirt and his Latin dance shoes – take that, robber!), and he was also able to turn his stomped grape of a foot into sparkly champagne with his "Great Gatsby"-esque quickstep to "Crazy in Love." Brant cut a great-looking figure in his white suit with gold vest, and Peta was a perfect daisy in her sparkly gold fringe flapper dress and feathered headdress. "You were the no-stress express," Len said. It may have been painful to dance, but "it was painless to watch." Bruno called Brandt "the perfect matinee idol." Carrie Ann went with the F. Scott Fitzgerald classic theme: "You are not who I thought you were," the judge said. "Great musicality and great lines. I can't believe you were hurt in that routine." And while it was undeniably fun and the couple were completely easy on the eyes, did it warrant that high of a score? Let's make like Bruno announcing his paddle score: Nein! Total: 27.
FALL TV 2013: Watch the trailers
Corbin Bleu had to get to the gym to get his frame up to keep up with Karina Smirnoff in his quickstep, which she claimed was the fastest ever attempted on the show. It's also Corbin's first ballroom attempt, so footwork and frame was an issue. And this nod to an Old Hollywood scandal with a director and his starlet was fast and furious without losing its style. "I think this is the one for the record books," Bruno said, amazed. "Maintaining the synchronicity at that speed is almost impossible, and you did it." Carrie Ann lauded Corbin for nailing the footwork but "you started with great form, you got to keep that up from there." Len was overwhelmed by the breakneck pace. "Speed came in and then style went out," the head judge said. "It was a bit hectic at times for me." Total: 26.
Mark Ballas wanted the Charleston to show off star Christina Milian's versatility. But why did it have to be accompanied by Mark's scary clown face? Good thing Christina's little cheetah girl Violet wasn't in the studio audience; just brought to rehearsal for inspiration. Mark should automatically get a 5 for that nightmare-inducing visage. But the judges weren't as disturbed as I was with all the It makeup. Carrie Ann praised Christina for "this incredible dynamic range of emotion" and called the routine "a full-body" performance. "The dance absolutely mirrored the music, which was fantastic," Len said, but would have liked the Charleston part to have "more swiveling action." "The clown and the showgirl are hitting the big time," Bruno boomed. "Visually inspiring – you perform better than you've ever had." Total: 26.
Since their samba went so well, Elizabeth Berkley Lauren and Val Chmerkovskiy decided to keep a good thing going and continue on an upward trajectory … to the friendly fox trot skies! They also continued to talk in hashtags, maybe unaware that Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon had already made a mockery out of them. Lizzie had to be blindfolded to learn to trust in Val's lead, and it helped her see so many levels of friendship with her Ukranian partner. Elizabeth took Val's directive to "Come Fly With Me" in an old-school salute to the friendly skies. Both looked great in uniform. "You've taken your performance to new heights this week," Carrie Ann said, but said there was "a boo boo in the middle where it looked like you got ahead of the music." Len called it "chicken soup to the eyes: delicious and satisfying. … Lizzie, keep busy. You're a contender." "Don't worry, you're flying first class all the way," Bruno confirmed, though "even a Dreamliner hits some air pockets." Kudos to Tom for calling out their awful hashtag speak. "That dance was so good that it overcame the fact that it's freaking me out you talk in hashtags," the host said diplomatically. "Hashtag stop." Total: 25.

Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi doesn't like 6s. It's embarrassing, and she feels like a loser. She wants to skyrocket right away and then go straight to heaven. So she and partner Sasha Farber worked their little tushes off with their Marilyn Monroe-themed quickstep this week. Snooki said she felt like she was Marilyn in a past life, and she channeled the diamond-loving movie star in a sweeping routine, doing an impressive one-handed cartwheel while holding Sasha's hand with the other, and proferring a kiss to the judges before being slid across the floor. JWow liked it. So did the judges: Not a 6 in sight. "For your first ballroom dance, you came out and surprised me," Len said. "This girl is on fire!" Bruno bellowed. "I admire your commitment to hard work and it shows." "You are a superstar," Carrie Ann approved. "Tonight, what you did out there blew me away. … You deserve a star on the walk of fame" (or a Chinese wok). Total: 25.
Leah Remini had to work on her sexy face for their dramatic, flair-filled James Bond-style rumba to Adele's Oscar-winning "Skyfall." And Leah was in black and looked sultry. International man of mystery Tony Dovolani was dashing in an undone bowtie. Both were shaken and stirred in what Tom called "roly-poly action" tumble on the floor at the end. Len "loved the chemistry … the interplay between the two of you was terrific," he said. "More Hollywood than Deadwood." Bruno called Leah a "devilish seductress" and praised her for going out of her comfort zone, but agreed with Len that she needed the continuation of movement in her arms. Carrie Ann liked how Leah "turned up the steam notch," she said. "Full steam ahead!" Total: 24.
Bill Engvall is a contender! Despite having to travel to Kentucky and Mississippi for shows and thinking that the paso doble sounded like "a Mexican food dish," the comedian was extra jazzed to learn his routine with Emma Slater this week. The Lone Ranger was his hero as a kid, and now he gets to dance to its signature theme. Plus, "I am pushing myself so hard because I want to win this," he admitted. Well, Bill just threw his white cowboy hat and mask into the ring with his excellent, crowd-pleasing routine. And by the time he spun Emma like a compass at the end of the routine he had the crowd whooping in delight. "Hi-ho Engvall!" Tom boomed at the end. "Yee-haw!" exulted Carrie Ann. "You nailed the paso! … All your movements were perfectly in sync … every single line was matching Emma perfectly." Len revealed he loved the Lone Ranger and Tonto as well as a kid. "If you would have come out on horse Silver you would have gotten a 10," the head judge said. "That was your best dance." "The Lone Ranger is a hit!" Bruno exulted. "So much attack!" Total: 24.
PHOTOS: Hollywood Backlot moments
Derek Hough explained to Amber Riley that their Charleston needed to be over the top. Almost cartoon-like. Too bad Amber was cramped by a hurt bum, vocal rehearsals, and shooting an episode of "Glee" this week. But as Amber said, "If you complain when you're busy, then you'll complain when you're not busy and you'll never be happy," and the multi-hyphenate was determined not to let her busy schedule get in the way of her Charleston. And I loved Amber's dress and headdress during this Baz Lurhmann-modernized "Great Gatsby" routine to will.i.am's "Bang Bang" where Amber made like George Wilson and shot Derek's Gatsby dead at the end. Len said he would have "liked a little more swivel in your feet but it was so fun to watch." Bruno said Amber's able to "create a rip-roaring excitement in the room" but said the action needed to be much sharper. "No joke, you can bang — nobody else can bang like how you're banging," Carrie Ann said. Only, "the bottom half is not as banging as your top half … the legs weren't going in the right angles." Total: 24.
Cheryl Burke wanted Jack Osbourne to play a pimp. And despite Jack coming out all '70s Hollywood, "Huggy Bear-style" and rehearsal footage that made him feel like "we're making a porno," the cha cha was more Cheryl leading Jack around than a full-out Superfly affair. ("I'm an insecure pimp. A scared pimp," he confessed.) Plus, Jack revealed that "I almost overcooked it" and nearly slid off the grand staircase slide at the top of the routine. Bruno loved "the rock star opening" and said Jack kept his timing throughout the ambitious routine, but "you've got to watch your hip action." Carrie Ann said it was "good, but not your best." He's taking too big steps, was way back with his weight, and had too much fear in his hands. Len agreed. "I love your commitment," but "you've got to get your hip action going … and you wouldn't get your weight over your supporting foot." But for sister and former "DWTS" finalist Kelly, seeing her brother in fluorescent pink is everything. Total: 22.
Can't wait for the cop drama "Harper & MacManus" where Valerie Harper and Tristan MacManus bark at each other by their last names and go to Hollywood and fight crime, one ballroom step at a time. Tristan, of course, has to keep his mustache for the role. Week "Tree" for the dynamic duo had them dancing the cha cha set to Mika's "Grace Kelly" — an interesting mash-up, with Tristan channeling Freddie Mercury and Valerie playing the titular Hollywood icon. I'm usually not a fan of wearing white after Labor Day, but I'm not mad at Tristan's tighty white pants. Bruno said Valerie "got the look absolutely right" but "you went wrong so many times" in the routine. "Yeah, you lost your way," Carrie Ann said. "But you still manage to somehow bring grace … to what was left on the routine." Len likened the routine to flying coach on a cheap airline. It's bumpy, but "you landed safely and got through it." Len also commended Tristan for his awesome support. "The way you take care of your partner is wonderful," he said. Me next, please. Total: 16.
After his slip into injury, the orthopedic doctor recommended that short of a wheelchair, Bill Nye give up the dancing, but "people don't regret what they do, they regret what they don't do," Bill said. So he used a leg immobilizer to keep his knee straight and basically did a "Tron"-like robot to partner Tyne Stecklein's Quora for a jazzy number set to "Get Lucky." "I don't know what Bob Fosse would say about the jazz … to be honest, I didn't see any," said Bruno. "But it was entertaining." Carrie Ann was very sweet with her commentary. "I think what you've done is absolutely astounding … you have a serious injury," she said. "You went through it, you didn't give up. ... I actually was very impressed." Len commended Tyne for choreographing a terrific routine. "And to you, Bill … to perform with that type of injury, it takes guts, it takes determination, it takes bravery," the head judge said. "That shows a lot about the man." Total: 16.
Carrie Ann said she wanted to see more content when Bill's other leg is feeling better. Perhaps he can come back at the end of the season and perform a proper jazz number.
What did you think, ballroom fans? Bummed over Bill Nye's departure? Should clown makeup be banned from the glitterverse forever? How does your word cloud work?

Prosecutors want Nacchio in court for sentencing
Federal prosecutors want imprisoned former Qwest chief executive Joe Nacchio to show up in Denver federal court when he receives a new sentence June 24.
Nacchio's presence at the hearing would help achieve some of the goals of sentencing, such as "having the defendant personally receive the
official expression of the condemnation of his conduct, showing confidence in the justness of the sentence, promoting respect for the law, promoting deterrence and treating victims fairly," Assistant U.S. attorney Kevin Traskos wrote in a court document filed Monday.
Nacchio's attorneys had previously waived his right to appear at the resentencing. Convicted on 19 counts of insider trading in 2007, Nacchio began serving a six-year prison term in April at a federal prison camp in Pennsylvania.
A jury found Nacchio guilty of illegally selling $52 million in Qwest stock in early 2001 based on material, insider information.
In July 2009, a federal appeals court ordered a new sentence for Nacchio, ruling that the trial judge miscalculated Nacchio's gains during the initial sentencing. The sentence is based, in part, on the amount of money Nacchio is determined to have illegally gained from having the insider information, which included warnings from senior executives that Qwest's financial health was deteriorating.
In waiving his right to physically appear at sentencing, Nacchio cited the case of Adelphia founder John Rigas and his son, Timothy, who appeared at their resentencing hearing via videoconferencing from prison in 2008.
Prosecutors said the videoconferencing option is not available under 10th Circuit rules, which covers Colorado. They also noted that John Rigas was over 80 years old and had health problems, including bladder cancer.
John Rigas had his 15-year sentence for securities fraud and other charges cut to 12 years. Timothy Rigas had his reduced from 20 years to 17 years.
Traskos noted that Nacchio didn't give a reason for why he shouldn't attend the sentencing.
"Given the lack of any such reason, it might create the impression of
unfairness to allow the defendant to skip his sentencing," Traskos wrote in the court filing.
He added that Nacchio's presence would provide a measure of justice for victims.
"This case involves a large fraud involving a number of victims who are hard to identify. Such victims have a right not to be excluded from the process, and they must 'be treated with fairness,'" Traskos wrote.
Here's an overview of possible prison terms Nacchio may receive based on how much U.S. District Judge Marcia Krieger determines he gained from having the illegal insider information.
Nacchio's attorneys have argued that his sentence should be reduced to as little as six months.

Sheriff: Marijuana mailed to Dodge County home
Authorities see increase in marijuana by sent by mail
HUSTISFORD, Wis. — Authorities in Dodge County said they seized 68 grams of high-grade marijuana from a home in the Town of Hustisford after discovering a suspicious package that was mailed to the home.
The Dodge County Drug Task Force said it responded Sept. 28 to a call from Hustisford Police Department Chief Dan Link, who had received information from the U.S. Postal Service about a suspicious package.
Police said the package was mailed from a church, which is believed to be fictional, in Twentynine Palms, Calif., to an address on Lake Drive in the Town of Hustisford, according to a Dodge County Sheriff's Department news release.
The Dodge County Drug Task force said it has experienced a significant increase in this type of distribution of illegal drugs.
The Drug Task Force, with the assistance of Deputy Chad Enright and his K-9 partner Paige, investigated. Paige alerted to the package, indicating it likely contained controlled substances, according to the news release.
The Dodge County Drug Task Force got a search warrant from the Dodge County District Attorney's Office and, with the assistance of the Hustisford Police Department, served the warrant at the Lake Drive home.
Dodge County sheriff's officials said that detectives were able to find drug paraphernalia and marijuana in the home. The package was also seized by police and contained 68 grams of high-grade marijuana, sheriff's officials said.
"Marijuana by mail is becoming a very common delivery system. We rely on our strong partnership with the U.S. post office to deter this type of distribution," said Dodge County Sheriff Todd Nehls.
Authorities said charges against the homeowner are pending.
