That's according to Drop Shot Dispatch, which translated a report from Vesti Online. Divac, the former NBA player, is now the president of the Serbian Olympic Committee. He was critical of the performance of Serbia's athletes at the recent Olympics, though he did exempt swimmer Milorad Cavic and Djokovic, since they both frequently compete at such a high level.
Divac also said Djokovic, who failed to medal after losing to Andy Murray in a semifinal and then to Juan Martin Del Potro in the bronze-medal match, personally apologized to him:
Divac said, "I never saw anyone have such energy to fight for a medal for Serbia. It is contagious. After the match I came to him. You know what he was doing? He was so miserable, he was cutting up his racquets with a saw. That is not someone who doesn't care about the result."
Meh. I guess.

I have an mp3 player that has a headphone/speaker output socket of 3.5mm type. I want to use it to feed into a group of 4 speakers sets for PCs. The maximum cable distance should be around 8 meters long. I would like to be able to regulate the volume going into each speaker set (which will be in a different room) from a device connected directly to the player, and this devide then feeds the speakers.
So the questions are:
- What is this device that I'm looking for called, or group of devices for this kind of use to connect into a common player? (any recommendations as well?)
- What kind of cables will I use to bring the output to the speaker proximity with a female jack for the 3.5mm input?
- After what length will I need to use a repeater? (does this depend on the device that feeds the signals and cables it uses, or if it feeds into 3.5mm it is a standardized power output and therefore standard length) And any recommendations if I need one?

SELinux Context
Every process and object in the system has a context (alternatively referred to as a label). This is an attribute used to determine if an access should be allowed between a process and an object. For example, a user process might have the context of user_u:user_r:user_t, and file in the user's home directory might have the context user_u:object_r:user_home_t. A SELinux context consists of three required fields, and one optional field.
The first field is the SELinux user. The SELinux user is not equivalent to a Linux user. Typically many Linux users will use the same SELinux user, but it is possible to have a 1:1 Linux user to SELinux user mapping, such as the root Linux user and the root SELinux user. One significant difference between the SELinux users and Linux users is SELinux users do not change during a user session, whereas a Linux user might change via su or sudo. By convention, SELinux users that are generic have the suffix "_u", such as user_u.
The second field is the role. A SELinux user may be allowed to take on one or more roles. What a role means is defined by the policy, but examples of roles are an unprivileged user, a web administrator, and a database administrator. Objects typically have the role object_r. By convention, roles have the suffix "_r".
The third field in the type. This is the primary means of determining access (this will be further discussed later). The type of a process is also referred to as its domain. By convention, a type has the suffix "_t", such as user_t.
The forth field is the MLS range. This field optional, and will be discussed later.
Object Classes
SELinux has many object classes (categories of objects), such as dir for directories and file for files. These are used in the policy and in access decisions to more finely specify what access is allowed. Each object class has a set of permissions which are the possible ways to access these objects. For example, the file object class has the permissions create, read, write, and unlink (delete), while the unix_stream_socket object class (UNIX domain stream sockets) has the permissions create, connect, and sendto. See ObjectClassesPerms for a complete listing of object classes and their permissions.

Something special happened on Conan last night. The show, normally broadcast from Los Angeles, has been spending a week in our fair city. And as long as they're here in the state of New York, why not take care of some business? Specifically, Conan announced he had been ordained and would marry Scott Cronick, the show's costume designer and his longtime partner David Gorshein.
It's easy to be skeptical of something pre-planned and broadcast on live television, but one look at the grooms and it's obvious how very in love they are. By the time they began sharing their vows, I was almost in tears. Mazel tov!

http://mmajunkie.com Seth Petruzelli is off the hook.
With friends and family watching cageside and the threat of a three-fight skid looking him straight in the face, the four-time UFC vet and "Kimbo-killer" picked up a first-round TKO over David Mewborn (8-4-1) this past Friday at WEF 46 in Florida.
It was the first fight for Petruzelli (13-6) since his 2010 UFC release.
Petruzelli's next fight already looms. "The Silverback" said he soon will sign to face former hockey enforcer Steve Bosse (8-1) on June 17 at "Les Gladiateurs: Resolution."
Getting back on the horse was crucial for the cast member of "The Ultimate Fighter 2." As always, Petruzelli's goal is to earn a ticket back to the world's biggest fight promotion.
"The UFC said (to) win some and they'll have me back again," Petruzelli today told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). "I don't ever want to lose outside the UFC. I don't ever want to lose, but it was really important for me in my first fight outside the UFC (in) getting back on track."
Although his next booking appears to be set, Petruzelli hasn't forgotten about Ken Shamrock. The UFC Hall of Famer was scheduled to fight him in the event's headliner before he reportedly withdrew due to a staph infection.
"I'd hate to let everyone down that wanted to see the fight," Petruzelli said. "I know everyone says he's older and what's the point of it, but Ken Shamrock is still Ken Shamrock. He's still a name, and it would be an honor to fight him. I think it will eventually happen."
For now, though, wins are a good start.
"It was kind of nerve-racking, but it felt extremely good when I pulled a TKO off," said Petruzelli, who said fans can follow his booking on Twitter at @silverbackseth.

Achiote (Bixa orellana) is a shrub or small tree originating from the tropical region of the Americas. The name derives from the Nahuatl word for the shrub, āchiotl [aːˈt͡ʃiot͡ɬ]. It is also known as Aploppas, and its original Tupi name uruku. It is cultivated there and in Southeast Asia, where it was introduced by the Spanish in the 17th century. It is best known as the source of the natural pigment annatto, produced from the fruit. The plant bears pink flowers and bright red spiny fruits which contain red seeds. The fruits dry and harden to brown capsules.
It is of particular commercial value in the United States because the Food and Drug Administration considers annatto colorants made from it to be "exempt of certification". It is used as a colorant and condiment for traditional dishes such as cochinita pibil, rice, chicken in achiote and caldo de olla. It is also used to add color to butter, cheese, popcorn, drinks, and breads. The main achiote growers are Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, India, Jamaica, Mexico, Peru, Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic.
The inedible fruit is harvested for its seeds, which contain annatto, also called bixin. It can be extracted by stirring the seeds in water. It is used to color food products, such as cheeses, fish, and salad oil. Sold as a paste or powder for culinary use, mainly as a color, it is known as "achiote," "annatto," "bijol," or "pimentão doce." It is a main ingredient in the Yucatecan spice mixture recado rojo, or "achiote paste." The seeds are ground and used as a subtly flavored and colorful additive in Latin American, Jamaican, Chamorro and Filipino cuisine. Annatto is growing in popularity as a natural alternative to synthetic food coloring compounds. While it has a distinct flavor of its own, it can be used to color and flavor rice instead of the much more expensive saffron. It is an important ingredient of cochinita pibil, the spicy pork dish popular in Mexico. It is also a key ingredient in the drink tascalate from Chiapas, Mexico.
In several European countries (e.g. Great Britain, Denmark, Sweden, Norway) the pigment, extracted by solvent or boiling the seeds in oil, have been and often still is used as color in margarines and several other foods. The pigment has E-number E160b. The seeds are collected from wild-growing bushes or from plantations, in Latin America, Africa (e.g. Kenya) and Asia. However, since there is no strong organization promoting the use of annatto, the color beta carotene, which is more expensive, has pushed the natural pigment out of many applications.
Achiote paste, favored in Yucatán, Oaxacan, and Belizean cuisine, is made from the slightly bitter, earthy flavored, red annatto seeds, mixed with other spices and ground into a paste. Achiote is a distinctly colored and flavored mainstay of Mexican and Belizean kitchens.
The paste is dissolved in either lemon juice, water, oil or vinegar to create a marinade, and marinated or rubbed directly upon meat. The meat is then grilled, baked, barbecued or broiled. Sometimes it is added to corn dough to create a zesty flavor and color in empanadas and red tamales.
The achiote has long been used by American Indians to make body paint, especially for the lips, which is the origin of the plant's nickname, lipstick tree. The use of the dye in the hair by men of the Tsáchila of Ecuador is the origin of their usual Spanish name, the Colorados.
In developing countries, particularly in Colombia, it is used in folk medicine and natural remedies for the treatment of common infections. Achiote is among those herbs used in Colombian folk medicine to treat infections of microbial origin.[1] Adding to the known health benefits exerted by carotenoids, a bioactive sesquiterpene from achiote exhibited moderate anti-fungal activity.[2] Extracts of the leaves of achiote possess antimicrobial activity against Gram positive microorganisms, with maximum activity against Bacillus pumilus.[3] Achiote leaves have been employed to treat malaria and Leishmaniasis.

Born: 1920, Sochocin, Poland
Describes her decision, while posing as a Polish Catholic, to work on a farm in Germany [Interview: 1989]
Roza's family moved to Warsaw in 1934. She had just begun college when Germany invaded Poland in 1939. In 1940, the Germans sealed the Warsaw ghetto, where her parents were shot during a roundup. Roza escaped and went into hiding. From her hiding place she saw the burning of the ghetto in the 1943 uprising. She had false papers stating she was a Polish Catholic (Maria Kowalczyk), and was deported by cattle train to Germany in June 1943. She worked on a farm until liberation in 1945.

Niki Taylor's Blog: Figuring Out Four Kids
In her final blog, Taylor shares her thoughts on welcoming her fourth child - son Rex Harrison arrived on Nov. 16.
Thanks for welcoming our celebrity blogger Niki Taylor!
Since making her debut on the cover of Seventeen at age 14, Taylor has become one of the industry's most recognized faces, at one point appearing on six covers in the same month.
After a near-fatal car accident in 2001, Taylor underwent 41 surgeries and multiple blood transfusions during her recovery. Earlier this year, she appeared on Celebrity Apprentice, with the American Red Cross as her charity of choice.
Taylor, 36, currently makes her home in Nashville with husband Burney Lamar, daughter Ciel, 2½, and twin sons Jake and Hunter, 16. You can find her on Twitter.
In her final blog, Taylor shares her thoughts on welcoming her fourth child — son Rex Harrison arrived on Nov. 16.
Oh my goodness, a new title: Mother of four. What?! Who, me? Are you serious?!
It's always that moment as a mom when you think to yourself, "Okay, I have four kids — now what? And who is going to help me figure this all out?"
How do you wrap your head around the fact that God gives you these kids and then sends you on your way home? Where is the instruction book? Where is the help?
I always laugh a bit to myself upon the exit from the hospital as I contemplate that they really just let you walk out with this tiny peanut. Frightening at times!
Bringing Rex home was definitely an adventure, especially with a 2½-year-old big sister who is not used to seeing her doll babies move. Burney and I got quite the laugh when Ciel squealed, "It moved, it moved!" — the "it" would be baby Rex.
We received lots of questions and comments about his name — Rex Harrison Lamar — and I hate to disappoint, but Burney and I just happened to be the second set of parents that liked the two together as a name! So no, he was not named after the actor.
Big brothers Jake and Hunter have already jumped in to help with baby duties and feedings. Hunter is a feeding master and Mom is grateful for the helping hands!
Last week, Grandma and Grandpa Taylor landed in Tennessee for the Thanksgiving holiday, so the house is full of family, love and new life. Not to mention a full pantry, butter, baked goods and a serious calorie run…
Note to self — detox is on my agenda very soon. So good getting it down, so hard getting it off! Thanks Mom!
More seriously, pregnancy and delivery could not have been a bigger blessing. If you are pregnant I highly recommend the Baby Plus system. I am not a paid spokesperson for this product so this is straight from my mommy beliefs.
I just saw such a difference in using it my last two pregnancies, in the baby's sleeping patterns and their little alertness cycles and I guess I want to give credit where credit is due. I am not a scientist but I really believe in these devices.
If 10 years ago anyone would have told me that today I would be married to the man of my dreams and mothering two more additions to Jake and Hunter, I probably would have laughed. It is amazing that God really does have good plans and I see that in my family, in my marriage and in my children.
What more could a woman want than these things? I am honestly content and blessed beyond words.
I am sorry that my blog time with you all is coming to an end, but I have enjoyed writing to you and talking about Taco Bell, family and raising kids.
Please keep in touch by following me @nikitaylorinc on Twitter for updates!
Much love,
— Niki Taylor

Hail, gladiator! Enter a world of dark adventure, magic and monsters in LucasArts' latest RPG.
A fusion of traditional fantasy and Roman mythology, Gladius also brings together the traditional role-playing game with turn-based tactical games to create a unique experience. You will command either the gladiator Valens, or Ursula, daughter of the barbarian king, as they recruit and train a team of gladiators which you will take into battle in the famous gladiatorial games.
As with roleplaying games such as Final Fantasy, Gladius allows you to create and fully customise your party of gladiators, with dozens of weapons, armour and magic spells to choose from. With 16 character classes and over 100 unique character types - including mythical monsters - there's plenty to keep you battling.
When you get into combat, you'll notice that although Gladius' combat is turn based, again like Final Fantasy, it also includes a few tactical additions, including a 'swing meter' that determines how well your gladiator strikes a blow, and the ability to chain together combinations. Perform well in the gladiatorial arena and the crowd will urge you on, increasing your combat skills. Perform poorly... and the Emperor will not be pleased.

SASKATOON -- Saskatoon, followed by Winnipeg and Regina, is the most dangerous city in Canada, according to a recent survey by Maclean's magazine.
Basing its rankings on per-capita crime stats from 2007, the magazine claims Saskatoon is the most dangerous, with Winnipeg, Regina, Prince George, B.C. and Edmonton following behind.
Caledon, Ont. was named the safest city, followed by Oromocto, N.B.; Levis, Que.; Maskoutains MRC, Que.; and Halton Region, Ont.
The magazine gave Saskatoon an overall crime score of 163.23 "as a percentage difference from the national rate."
Winnipeg's crime score was 152.98%, followed by Regina (135.74%), Prince George (126.95%) and Edmonton (110.36%).
Other notable cities include Vancouver (eighth, 71.50%), Montreal (24th, 23.15%), Calgary (27th, 17.12%) and Toronto (29th, 11.66%).
Caledon's crime score was -86.69%, ahead of Oromocto (-82.41%) and Levis (-80.93%).
According to its website, "Maclean's obtained annual crime data from Statistics Canada for municipal police services with the 100 largest populations in the nation. Using 2007 rates per 100,000 population for six crimes -- homicide, sexual assault, aggravated assault, vehicle theft, robbery plus breaking and entering -- Maclean's calculated the percentage difference from the national rate for each of the six crimes.
"In consultation with StatsCan, we gave each crime equal weights and standardized the rates to obtain an overall score that measured each area's percentage difference from the national rate. Data from Nunavut and the Northwest Territories are excluded from the provincial and territorial score calculations due to their extreme crime rate values, which are inconsistent with the distribution of the rest of the country."

Honors come for courage in line of duty, selfless actions, response during blizzard
Deputies who ran into burning buildings, an officer who chased a shooter while off-duty and another whose productivity leads the entire department – even as he enters his 33rd year of work – are among those set to be honored at this year's Cook County Sheriff's Employee Awards and Recognition Ceremony, Sheriff Thomas J. Dart announced today.
The event, hosted by Roe Conn of WLS-AM, is set to take place at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Brookfield Zoo's Discovery Center, 3300 Golf Road in Brookfield.
Family and friends of 66 employees and four citizens are set to join those being recognized. This marks the second annual event where Dart has combined all department honors for one ceremony – including recognition of all promotions and military service, along with awards for the office's top humanitarian effort, awards of valor and top patrol officers.
The ceremony's most prestigious honor is the Timothy Kaufmann Distinguished Career Service, an award named after the former Cook County Sheriff's Police Officer who died in 2008 and which is given to someone who has shown an unmatched dedication to law enforcement, along with the same selfless dignity and honor that Kaufmann demonstrated.
This year's winner, Officer Ronald Rovner, has worked as a correctional officer at the jail, courthouse deputy, and police officer during his 33-year career. Even after three decades of service, he continues to show an incredible work ethic and dedication to keeping our streets safe, issuing nearly 11,000 citations and making nearly 600 arrests in the last two years.
Also set for special recognition is Deputy Peter Cozzi, who is the recipient of this year's Humanitarian Award. Meeting the award's standards of showing kindness, compassion or benevolence which has enriched the lives of others, Cozzi has spent the last 20 years voluntarily counseling those suffering from alcoholism – some of them his own colleagues. Doing his work anonymously, he has helped countless people through the disease.
Awards of Valor will be given to those deputies and officers who have performed acts of heroism and bravery, meeting and exceeding the highest standards in law enforcement.
Recipients of that prestigious honor are:
• Chief James McArdle and Deputy Quentin Bradshaw: While conducting an eviction, they entered a residence to find an injured man who had just shot himself, but was still alive, had his gun and was attempting to shoot himself again. They were able to safely disarm him and save the man's life.
• Lt. Angelo Zafaris: While driving to his job in the Department of Corrections at Cook County Jail, Lt. Zafiris noticed a vehicle on fire and a passenger inside attempting to stop the fire from there. He helped the man out just before the vehicle exploded.
• Investigators Ronald Clemons and Carl Mercherson. While out on the streets making their rounds for electronic monitoring checks, they heard gunshots nearby. They pursued and found two groups firing at each other. They took control of the scene and held three people until Chicago police arrived to take them into custody.
• Investigator Trois Shavers. While making an electronic monitoring check in Dolton, he saw smoke coming from a house and ran inside, helping three people out.
• Investigator Leone Ugarte. While off-duty, the officer heard gunshots and, with assistance of an off-duty CPD officer, gave chase to a suspect, while also recovering the handgun used in a shooting.
• Lt. Sean Gleason, Sgt. Nathan Camer, Det. David Cammack, Investigator Richard Velasquez. As members of the Sheriff's Hostage Barricade Terrorism Unit, their work was critical in ending a 12-hour standoff with an armed man in an oil refinery.
• Officers Gary Contreras, Larry Rivlin and Roger Valdez. The officers responded to a domestic incident involving a man with weapons. After several attempts to communicate the subject, he came at them with a weapon and, failing to stop him with a shield or Taser, were forced to fire a shot at him, after which he retreated and was taken into custody, later dying at a hospital.
• Deputies Edward Flory and David Soto. While serving a warrant, they saw a storefront on fire. They escorted four people out and continued looking for others until being overcome by smoke.
Sheriff Dart will also recognize the office's top patrol officers, based on productivity, professionalism on the front lines, performance and representation of the office. Officers Joe Chirillo (Markham), Michael Dwyer (Markham), Michael Healy (Bridgeview), Brandon Hofgesang (Skokie), Henry Macugowski (Skokie), Adam Murphy (Skokie), Joseph Phillips (Markham), John Pradun (Skokie), Ronald Rovner (Rolling Meadows) and Dave Tuzim (Markham) are set to receive the first-time honor.
Sheriff Dart is also set to honor four employees with Exceptional Performance Awards for their impressive actions and commitment to public service during the February blizzard. Boot Camp Capt. Paul Pankiewicz, Pre-release Capt. Edward Byrne, Police Investigator Leone Ugarte and Corrections Sgt. Jack Farris will be honored on Wednesday.

LAPD Booking Photos
January 17, 2018
It's been a very wet week in LA County. We've been hit by a heavy rainstorm for four days, threatening the hillsides from the devastating fires and even areas that did not get burned. Mudslides overtaking homes are always a big concern during a storm. The rains drench the unstable hills and home foundations can move.
Hopefully the rain will let up by this afternoon and we will have a dry weekend. I've been in my new home a little over two weeks but I haven't even started painting yet. I'm still adjusting to tin can living. I'm starting to doubt my memory at times and have been very forgetful about things. Friends tell me I'm just overwhelmed by all the change in such a short period of time. My purse was stolen about a month ago at a bus stop. I was taking the bus for a couple days while my car was in the shop. With my stolen bag, I lost my backup hard drive that had my work and photos going back 20 years. All gone, unrecoverable. A few days ago, I left my phone in a Target restroom that fortunately, someone turned in. I didn't lose that, thankfully. And today, I believe I left my umbrella on a bench in the North Hollywood subway train station. When I got downtown, luckily, there was only a light rain and I didn't get too wet on my walk from the station to the Clara Shortridge-Foltz Criminal Justice Center.
The 9th Floor
I make it to the 9th floor right around 8:30am.
I don't see anyone from the prosecution team and only one person from the defense team, the tall, slender man I believe is a data expert. A few minutes later DDA's Beth Silverman and Melissa Opper arrive with one of their clerk interns. Beth and Melissa are both wearing all black outfits, with Beth complementing hers with a black and white scarf. It's my understanding that a few interns that have clerked for Beth in the past have been hired by the DA's office as DDA's once they've passed the bar. Minutes later, the DA's victim advocate arrives.
Inside Dept. 101
The gray haired gentleman I believe is a defense investigator is at the clerks desk chatting with Judge Coen, who is not wearing his robe.
Baker's defense attorney Michael Simmrin arrives. I hear DDA Sliverman address him with the question/statement, "Good news?" Simmrin responds, "Good news." DDA Silverman responds, "Let me guess. You're hiring a prosecutor to work in the office with you?" I have no idea what they are talking about but it's obviously something within the Public Defender's Office or Alternate Public Defender's Office. DDA Silverman and Simmrin appear to chat about more departmental news. Simmrin is also carrying a unique umbrella that he is showing Beth and Melissa. It looks like it might be this BetterBreta umbrella. More news is being bantered about. The burly deputy sheriff I often saw around the courthouse and in cases I attended, Sargent Westphal has been promoted. He's a lieutenant now.
Judge Coen is now on the bench and asks the parties if they are ready to do this and to bring the defendant's out. But I don't see Blair Berk. She did not come today. It's only then that I see defense attorney Leonard Levine. He must have just arrived, since I did not see him come in.
While they are waiting for the deputies to get the defendants, Judge Coen and Levine chat off the record about a trial date. Then Judge Coen addresses Simmrin. The court says something to the effect of (I don't have this exactly correct), I hear we are waiting on [a motion?]. Simmirin tells the court that they are waiting, yes. It's something about a motion Simmrin will be filing on behalf of his client. From what I heard, I gather Simmrin is still working on the motion. Baker is brought out.
Judge Coen then asks Simmrin, "Did you tell anyone else?" Simmirn informs the court, "Yes."
I believe I hear Levine tell the court, "[Obviously?] I was informed."
Levine and Judge Coen continue to discuss the trial date that is still on the court's calendar. Judge Coen comments to Levine on the discovery, "...when you reach [over] 100,000 pages ..."
I take the court to be implying that going to trial this quickly with all the discovery being turned over is not practical.
Monica Sementilli is brought out. She is in an orange jumpsuit this time. That's different. I also notice a blue barrette in her hair.
The parties tell the court that they have agreed to a February 21st return date. The April 29 trial start date will remain on the calendar for the time being. Judge Coen mentions a concern about that date. From what I'm hearing it's pretty much a given that date will be vacated soon.
DDA Silverman tells the court there is a new batch of discovery to pass onto Mr. Simmrin. They have been waiting for Simmrin to give them a hard drive. Mr. Levine has already received this batch that will also be passed on to Baker's defense.
DDA Silverman also informs the court that just this morning, the LAPD has provided her office with another hard drive of discovery. Her office will need more drives from the defense to pass on this latest batch. DDA Silverman informs Levine that there is [another] "...search warrant out there..."
I took this to mean the search warrant was related to the latest information the DA's office just received from the LAPD, but I could be wrong about that.
And that's it. The hearing was over in minutes. That's often how these things go.
The next pretrial hearing in the case is February 21.
The next post on this case can be found HERE.

Composer Frank Wildhorn bridges pop and Broadway
DELRAY BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Frank Wildhorn sits in the lobby of a South Florida hotel, wearing a baseball cap and flip-flops, happy to be back home by the ocean. He's remarkably unfrazzled, even though he's days away from his eighth Broadway show opening, a revamped revival of "Jekyll and Hyde."
He even noticeably brightens when Steely Dan's "Do It Again" comes across the speakers. "I played this every night in the '70s," he says, grinning.
There's no doubt that Wildhorn knows a good song -- he's written enough of them himself. He first found success as a pop and R&B songwriter, penning Whitney Houston's ballad "Where Do Broken Hearts Go," and has since had his tunes sung by everyone from Liza Minnelli to Trisha Yearwood.
But despite his impressive resume, Wildhorn is a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde figure himself. Adored by singers, he still gets the cold shoulder from some New York theater critics who seem adverse to his pop pedigree.
"A handful of New York critics give me a hard time. You've got to take that with some perspective," Wildhorn says. "That's not who I write for. I write for the people who pay for the tickets."
The nagging outsider label seems almost ironic given Wildhorn ruled Broadway in the late 1990s when he had three shows running simultaneously, a nearly four-year run for "Jekyll," ''The Scarlett Pimpernel" and "The Civil War," which all were nominated for Tony. Julie Andrews also personally called Wildhorn and asked him to write songs for her in "Victor/Victoria" after Henry Mancini's death.
But Wildhorn has had a tough time on Broadway recently, with back-to-back shows that struggled. His 2011 musical "Wonderland," an updated telling of "Alice in Wonderland," was poorly reviewed and his "Bonnie & Clyde" closed early last year, although it was nominated for a best score Tony.
He's been well received internationally, with several shows currently running, including "Dracula" in Europe and a lengthy run of "Carmen" in Prague. More than 100 productions of "Jekyll" have run around the world in Germany, Austria, Spain, Japan and Australia with 32 international recordings in 28 different languages.
The unassuming 54-year-old says his international success has given him more creative freedom outside the Broadway clique. In turn, he's given artistic directors in each country the freedom to interpret his shows to fit their own culture so the shows aren't cookie cutouts. "The Count of Monte Cristo" in Switzerland, for example, plays with a 50-piece orchestra and 30-piece choir.
"Theater isn't looked at that way in America. There's six blocks in New York and nothing else counts. I kind of take a much more global vision of the whole thing," says Wildhorn, who says his pop background taught him to write for the world. He still struggles to understand why the Broadway world often thumbs its nose when a theater song has commercial success.
"This Is the Moment," one of the standout songs from "Jekyll," has been recorded 1,000 times by everyone from Johnny Mathis to Dennis DeYoung of Styx , and was performed by Jennifer Holliday at Bill Clinton's inauguration and at the 1994 and 1996 Olympics. A duet recorded by Peabo Bryson and his ex-wife Linda Eder "You Are My Home" from "The Scarlett Pimpernel" was also a Top 40 Adult Contemporary hit.
"He's just got this knack for this romantic ballads and lyrical sort of melody," said Constantine Maroulis, who stars in the "Jekyll" revival. "Some people have had maybe an issue with some of his composition in the theatre world but every singer out there wants to sing Frank Wildhorn songs."
Wildhorn credits South Florida with cultivating his musical roots. He spent his days working as a lifeguard on Hollywood beach and his nights playing the piano in jazz, rock and R&B cover bands, performing at places like the Kaleidoscope in Coconut Grove, and testing out his own music.
He caught the theatre bug as a history major at the University of Southern California, where he wrote several musicals, including a few songs that would later appear in "Jekyll," and caught the attention of the Los Angeles music industry.
"It's not so much what I wanted to do, it was wherever the music took me," he said.
His versatility as a composer is perhaps best captured by those who have performed his music, including everyone from country crooners Kenny Rogers and Trisha Yearwood to Patti LaBelle and Natalie Cole. He's also written several songs for Eder's solo albums. She starred as "Lucy" in the original production of "Jekyll," opposite Robert Cuccioli.
"He's an incredibly tuneful composer. I was relieved to hear melodies again in songs. I feel like there was a period when the theatre was sort of drifting away from that," said "Newsies" director Jeff Calhoun, who collaborated with Wildhorn on "Bonnie and Clyde" and the "Jekyll" revival.
Always eager to draw a younger audience, Wildhorn cast "American Idol" finalist Maroulis, who received a best actor Tony nomination for his performance in "Rock of Ages," and Grammy-award nominated R&B star Deborah Cox as the leads in the "Jekyll" revival, which just wrapped up a 25-week national tour in South Florida.
"He has an indomitable spirit, one that cannot be broken. I think it's been out of necessity but also a great lesson for the rest of us to see somebody so strong who just keeps on marching and doing what he was born to do," said Calhoun.
The ever-optimistic Wildhorn is predictably romantic about the looming reviews from New York and prefers to focus his attention on several new projects.
"You have to feel a little bit like Don Quixote fighting the windmills," he says. "I love having the mountain to climb every day."

I have a site I'm working on that is giving me nightmares. I'm trying to use WP Popup Scheduler and I just can't get it to work. I've tried a couple of other pop-ups also and they just aren't working either. I've got them working on other sites with no problem.
I've tested also by turning my cache plug-ins. Still no go. I've sent emails to the plugin developer (for both plugins I tried) and have not heard anything back.
I tested them on another website I did and they both worked great. But it was not the Atahualpa theme. So I'm wondering if there is something that I might need to do with Atahualpa to get it to work. I'm on WP 2.85, Atahualpa 3.4 PhP Version 5 (I've also tried clearing my cache and tried it on other computers.
The 2 plugins I've tried alot are WP Popup Scheduler (my first choice) and MaxBlogPress Popup.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

As far as I know (December, Alphie,Pel, please correct me if I'm wrong, as I don't have the sources you do *sadpanda*), Stephenie was never pressured to shorten The Saga, only to lengthen it, expand it. It was originally written as two novels; Twilight & Forever Dawn. After the success of Twilight, Little Brown essentially begged her to expand the series into four novels total. As EsmeEcho so helpfully pointed out, there's no way she could just change it. Stephenie has always maintained that she is essentially a biographer for Edward& Bella. It is their story she is telling. The ending was already written. In the expansion, she had to fill in the gaps, go into more detail, but she could not just change the reality of the story. That is where she had the opening to express a little bit of herself in the characters and story.Tornado wrote:Yes, but what I am saying is that if she turned into Team Jacob during the course of the books, as some people seem to think, I'm sure she could have provided a different ending if she really liked Jacob better. We know that she was under pressure at one stage to only write three books instead of four. It could have provided a nice, neat ending to book three to have her go off with Jacob and have puppies instead.
First, let me say that this is all my opinion, how I've seen and interpreted passages and interviews and other information sources. No, Stephenie is not Bella. But, in telling their story, they are her characters. She is their creator. So, in as much as she sees herself as biographer telling their story, she also has to assume some responsibility for who and what they are. She is answerable for it. It's kind of the ultimate dilemma for an author who writes the way she does. The characters she created and loves, rather like our children, may say, do or believe things that she does not believe herself. Primarily, I look at the beliefs she follows as a member of the Mormon Church. She's always maintained that she holds her spiritual beliefs very close. So, those things that might conflict with her spiritual beliefs, she has to reconcile accepting as a part of her characters. In part, I think that is where Jacob really originated. His character allows her to have a source of opposition to those things that might conflict with her personal beliefs, though he's not the only one.Tornado wrote:Yes, but she's not Bella. She has said that. She hasn't got Bella's bravery. And what in Edward's life conflicts with her beliefsSo, as she expanded the story and was really forced to acknowledge and deal with those aspects of Edward's life and personality that conflicted with her own beliefs and preferences, she started to realize and acknowledge that she wouldn't have made the choice Bella did.Can you quote me some examples please?So, not only (when she has the opportunity to express it indirectly) do we hear comments that support the idea that she prefers Jacob to Edward, we see it also, as in the examples that we talked about within the text (comments Jacob is allowed to make, actions that go unatoned, etc).
The overarching conflict within the love story is a perfect example. For Bella & Edward to be together, they both have to essentially choose for her to die. She has to willingly give up her human life and Edward has to willingly and intentionally take it from her. This conflicts with most Judeo-Christian belief systems, include the Latter Day Saints. In my opinion, this is why Bella is changed the way she is. Rather than both partners choosing to accept that the only way they can be together is for her to be changed, and willingly choosing that love and future together, it is done as a "last resort", a no-other-option scenario where it is (as with all of the other Cullens) the only way to save her.
If you would like direct quotes from the books, there are so many that reflect, in my mind, Stephenie's preference for Jacob as seen in the latitude he gets to express his bile. The one that always sticks out in my mind is when Jacob tells her he would prefer her to truly be dead than be a vampire. Jacob is never made to acknowledge the hatred and jealousy and inflicted pain of that remark, ever. But, the overall attitude he is never forced to answer for pervades the novels. Jacob is allowed to insult, degrade and torture Edward without ever having to answer for it; his thoughts in the parking lot after the trip to Florida, every reference he makes to Edward or the Cullens as ticks, leaches, bloodsuckers, etc, threatening Edward's life at the wedding, and on and on. But, the few times Edward's thoughts or words are anything other than completely civil, Bella immediately takes him to task about it, dismissing altogether the rivalry that she herself creates and essentially forbidding Edward to experience the emotions that she causes in him.

Extreme Weather: A Mixed Bag for Dead Zonesby -
This post was co-authored with Bob Diaz, a WRI partner and professor at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science.
This year's extreme weather events—a warm winter, even warmer summer, and a drought that covered nearly two-thirds of the continental United States—has certainly caused its fair share of damages. But despite the crop failures, water shortages, and heat waves, extreme weather created at least one benefit: smaller dead zones in the Chesapeake Bay and Gulf of Mexico.
On a normal year, rain washes pollutants like nitrogen and phosphorous from farms and urban areas into the two bodies of water, fueling algae growth. When this algae dies, it consumes oxygen and creates hypoxic areas, or "dead zones," which can kill fish and other marine life. Less rain this year meant fewer pollutants making their way into the Chesapeake Bay and Gulf of Mexico. The Chesapeake Bay's summer dead zone was the smallest since record-keeping began in 1985, and the Gulf of Mexico's covered one of the smallest areas on record.
But It's Not All Good News
Which isn't to say that extreme weather and climatic events decrease the incidence of dead zones overall. In fact, in some cases, extreme weather and climatic events can actually exacerbatedead zones in lakes and oceanic ecosystems.
Dead zone occurrences have dramatically increased over the past 50 years. In 1960, there were fewer than 25 reported dead zones around the world; today there are more than 500, according to WRI's interactive map of eutrophication and hypoxia. Dead zones in freshwater and coastal ecosystems are on the rise due to the increasing use of chemical fertilizers, manure runoff from factory farms, and sewage and wastewater discharges from urban areas. The frequency and duration of hypoxic events has been exacerbated by several other human and environmental factors, including extreme weather and climatic events. Take, for example, the following cases:
While this year's dead zone in the Chesapeake Bay may be one of the smallest, last July's was the biggest on record, covering more than one-third of the bay. Scientists reported that as a result of snow melt and an unusually wet spring, the bay received as many nutrients in the month of May as it normally receives in an entire year. These nutrients fueled large algae blooms, which eventually triggered the formation of the huge dead zone.
The Cook Islands in the South Pacific recently experienced a long-lasting dead zone in the Manihiki Lagoon, which decimated the country's black pearl oysters. Scientists blamed this dead zone on a particularly strong La Niña event. The conditions created by the La Niña—cooler-than-average temperatures and drought—resulted in stratification of the water column. When an algae bloom occurred after a rainfall event, stratification prevented the bottom waters—which had become deoxygenated from the algae die-off—from mixing with oxygen-rich surface waters. A dead zone then formed, causing 100-percent mortality for all shellfish below 16 meters.
Starting in 2002, Oregon's coast began to see regular dead zone occurrences in near-shore waters. Scientists believe these occurrences are due in part to climate-driven changes in the California current system that intensified wind-driven upwelling events. Upwellings are natural events where nutrient-rich bottom waters rise to the surface, causing large algal blooms and subsequent oxygen depletion. Summer winds on the Oregon coast historically blew steady for a week or so before dying down and allowing coastal systems to flush the low-oxygen water. However, warmer temperatures attributed to climate change have intensified seasonal northwest coastal winds, which can now last between 20 to 30 days, trapping low-oxygen water near Oregon's coast. As a result, a dead zone has formed for the past 10 summers, causing marine die-offs.
In the spring of 2011, the largest toxic algae bloom in decades formed in Lake Erie, leading to a dead zone. In part, this massive bloom was blamed on a wet spring that brought record amounts of rainfall. The rain swept pollutants from farm fields and urban areas into the lake, providing the nutrients necessary to fuel the bloom.
Climate Change May Worsen the Situation
Reports suggest that climate change may worsen extreme weather and climatic events and the occurrence of dead zones. Don Scavia, director of the University of Michigan's Graham Sustainability Institute, recently saidthat increased spring rains spurred by a warmer climate will send more phosphorous into Lake Erie, inducing harmful algal blooms. A 2010 NOAA report found that the average annual size and duration of the Gulf of Mexico dead zone is expected to increase as a result of rising temperatures, changing wind patterns, and overall increases in precipitation patterns linked to climate change. And studies of Michigan's Green Bay predict that climate change will lead to increased frequency of intense weather events and higher temperatures, which in term will prolong and intensify hypoxic events in the bay.
Indeed, climate change may pose problems for waterways across the globe. Warming temperatures have been linked to an increase in intense precipitation events—even in cases where overall precipitation has decreased. Intense storms generate runoff—meaning that our aquatic systems will be more vulnerable to pollution as storms ramp up in frequency and intensity. In addition, warmer weather will increase stratification of the water column, preventing the natural mixing that keeps waters oxygenated. Warmer temperatures can also lead to longer growing seasons—meaning that overall, we might expect algal blooms and dead zones to not only be larger, but last longer.
Dead Zones in the Future
It's fair to say that the world is on a dangerous track when it comes to dead zones. Protecting our freshwater and coastal resources will not only require policies to reduce nutrient pollution and greenhouse gas emissions; we'll need remediation and restoration strategies that can be resilient in the face of an uncertain climate.

Единственный в мире сохранившийся экземпляр скоростного довоенного советского паровоза ФДп 20-578 (ИС). Разработанный в 1932 г. магистральный паровоз ИС (Иосиф Сталин) стал самым мощным на тот момент пассажирским паровозом в Европе, за что получил Гран-при на Всемирной парижской выставке (1937 г.). Первые паровозы ИС обслуживали дальние пассажирские поезда "Красная стрел" на маршруте Москва - Ленинград, затем работали на таких важных направлениях, как: Москва - Курск - Харьков - Синельниково, Харьков - Минеральные Воды, Москва - Смоленск - Минск и др. Вл время войны большинство паровозов ИС перебросили в восточные районы СССР. В нач. 1960-х гг., в период борьбы с культом личности Сталина, обозначение серии сменилось на ФДп. Тогда же, с переходом на дизельную и электрическую тягу, начался закат эпохи паровозов. Большинство из них утилизировали в 1970-х гг. Экземпляр, установленный на постаменте у входа в локомотивное депо, неподалеку от Южного вокзала в Киеве, был сохранен по инициативе начальника Юго-Западной железной дороги П. Кривоноса.
Overview and HistoryKiev is situated on the river Dnieper, which was one of the most important navigation arteries in Europe and part of the ancient trade route "from Varangiants to the Greeks."The legend of Kiev starts with three brothers -- Kiy, Scheck and Khoriv. Their sister was named Lybid. Kiy came to live on the mountain which has now become the Borichev slope; Scheck settled on the Shechekavitska mountain, and Khoriv lived on the mountain now called Khorevitska. They built a town and named it after the oldest brother. There was a forest full of animals in all directions. They were wise and clever in the way they built Kiev into a city, and the people there were called Polians.This forms the base of what city calls itself "the Mother of all Slavic cities," the place which claims to be the spiritual center of the Russian Empire. Kievan Rus was the center of Slavic civilization in the early medieval times, changing from an outpost of the Khazar empire into one of the worlds largest cities for its time. During this period Kiev was ruled by the Vanangian nobility; however, it was attacked and beseiged in the 10th century with the beginning of a series of invasions.Kiev has been invaded more times than most places in Europe. Several Russian princes captured and burned Kiev and Mongolian raiders completely destroyed the city in the 13th century. Powerful neighbors like the Grand Ducky of Lithuania, Poland and then Russia held sway over Kiev's prosperity until the industrial revolution.Ukraine gradually lost its autonomy during the nineteenth century while Russian migration and administration changed the face of Kiev. Folk art and traditions continued under the surface but Russian landmarks such as railroads, architecture and educational facilities stole the spotlight.Following the Russian Revolution in 1917 Kiev became an important city of the Ukranian Soviet Socialist Republic and was named its capital in 1934. The city was significantly damaged during WWII but recovered quickly, becoming the third largest city in the Soviet Union.The Ukraine gained its independence in 1991 and Kiev remains its capital.Getting ThereThere are two main airports in Kiev, Borispol International Airport and Zhuliany. Zhuliany handles domestic flights around Ukraine. Borispol International is about 38km from the city and you can reach it by bus or metro. "Boryspilska" is the name of the airport metro station.TransportationTaxis are plentiful in Kiev but not cheap, and tourists get hassled at the airport. Rumor is that everyone with a car in Kiev is a potential taxi driver, and they will charge pedestrians less than the taxi will.Other options for getting around are the minibus, trolley, tram and metro. Remember to stamp your ticket in the machine on the trolleys and trams!The first tram system in Kiev was built in 1892, making it one of the first ones in the whole world. Nowadays the metro is the main mode of transportation for most people.People and CultureThe dominant religion here is Orthodox Christianity. Holidays are divided into two groups, religious and public ones. New Year is the the most popular holiday of the year, moreso even than Christmas. Popular public holidays are Independence Day, International Women's Day. The orthodox religious holidays have their own unique character apart from the Catholic ones.If someone invites you to their home, it's always a good idea to bring something small like a bottle of wine, or chocolates. If you decide to bring flowers, make sure you count them! Do NOT bring an even number of flowers and don't shake hands in the doorway, come all the way inside first. Be ready to take your shoes off when you go inside, also. A little local customs management goes a loooong way.Things to do, RecommendationsSt. Andrew's Descent is the heart of Kiev's artistic commununity and it makes a big attraction for tourists seeking traditional Ukrainian arts and crafts. Originally it connected the Upper City's administrative section with the Podil, Lower City of merchants and artisans. It has long been host to festivals, concerts and galleries. Around St. Andrew's Cathedral. Have you heard of Gogol Bordello, the band? Its namesake Nikolay Gogol used to like walking around here.There are many UNESCO world heritage sites here, like The Kiev Pechersk Lavra (Monastery of the Caves) and Saint Sophia Cathedral. St. Sophia's is still actively performing the Mass in addition to being a major tourist attraction.Classical music venues are many: the Conservatoire, Philharmonic Society, House of Organ Music, Refectory in Lavra, International Centre of Culture and Arts, Ukrainian House.The National Academic Theatre of Opera and Ballet is the oldest opera house in Ukraine, dating back to 1867. It saw performances of works by Tchaikovsky, Glinka, and Dargomyzhsky.If you like being outside, you should visit the botanical gardens and the military museum with MIG-29 aircraft. Also there's the Pyrohiv village with its outdoor historical exhibit. This is officially called the Museum of Folk Architecture and Life of Ukraine. It has an area of 1.5 square kilometres which houses several "mini-villages" representing traditional Ukranian rural life.Other places you should not miss are Independence Square, or Maidan Nezalezhnosti. It's thecentral square in Kiev, the main and the most beautiful one.Kreschatik is the most famous and busiest street in Kiev. It is a wide boulevard with plenty of chestnut trees. It is hard to believe that some time ago on the site of Kreschatik used to be a valley and a river surrounded by forest. Nowadays it stretches from Europeiskaya Square to Bessarabskaya Square and contains trade buildings, bank departments and luxurious hotels.For night life, try these recommendations: AVALON lounge bar, restaurant, disco, and casino halls. Avalon restaurant boasts an extensive list of oysters, fish and seafood and is designed like an underwater kingdom, complete with jellyfish chandeliers and mermaids. Avalon casino is one of the oldest and most prestigious gaming venues in Ukraine).Text by Steve Smith.
