Henceforth, I dub thee GLAMP
I've decided to start replacing L with GL in acronyms where L supposedly stands for Linux.
I'm not a big user of acronyms, because I think they are exclusionist and they obscure, rather than revealing. (This wouldn't matter if I wrote for people who already knew what I meant and agreed with me, but that's a waste of time). However, LAMP is one that I've probably used a few times, without thinking that it is supposed to stand for Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP/Perl/Python. In fact, it doesn't refer to Linux, it refers to GNU/Linux. Therefore, it should be GLAMP.
Why does this matter? I try not to say Linux, unless I'm referring to a kernel, because a kernel is not an operating system. I try to be pretty careful about saying GNU/Linux when I'm talking about an operating system. An exception is a recruiting event yesterday at the University of Virginia, where I compromised my principles because of the noise. Trying to explain myself at that decibel level was just beyond my willingness, so I said we use Linux. If the potential recruits hire on with us, they'll get to hear me say GNU/Linux. And if they don't, maybe they'll attend Richard Stallman's upcoming talk at the engineering school there on March 27th or 28th (sorry, it's not listed online, so I can't link to it).
And you'll see GNU/Linux used conscientiously if you read the book I'm helping to write, too.
GNU matters. A lot. You may not think so, but if it ceased to exist, you'd find out. That applies equally even if you don't think you are a Free Software user. You have no idea how much you rely on Free Software in your daily life. And the GNU project has been and continues to be a keystone in that arch of freedom.
Thanks to MySQL's Brian Aker for snapping me out of my LAMP carelessness.
Why I write Free Software
Brian Aker was a recent guest on the LinuxCast podcast with Don Marti. Brian has some interesting thoughts in this podcast and elsewhere on his blog, on motivations for writing Free and/or Open Source software. Here's why I do it myself.
First an overview of the podcast, for context: the topics were storage engines, distributed version control, and motivation for open-source. (You should listen to it, if you haven't — it's short and Brian is a great speaker. I listened to it twice.)
I've been thinking for a while about why I write the MySQL Toolkit and innotop InnoDB and MySQL monitor for free. Some people have even tried to convince me to sell them. Brian's comments gave me some things to think about.
The simplest — but incomplete — reason I is I like doing it, I have a lot of unfinished things I can't finish fast enough to keep up with my new ideas as it is, and I don't want to divert effort into making it a business. My feeling is that would add a lot to my list of things I need to learn and do.
But there are many more reasons, in fact.
- It helps me avoid commitment and the guilt of not meeting commitments — if I don't get something done, that's fine. What I do is more than nothing, and nobody should complain. And I know if I lose interest or for some other reason stop doing this, others can take it over. That's why I made such an effort to put it on Sourceforge (and yes, it is more work to put it on Sourceforge than to do it myself. They don't even back up your files for you).
- It builds my personal brand, helps me network, and opens doors for me. People know me through my work who wouldn't know me otherwise, and vice versa. I get a lot of opportunities I suspect I wouldn't have if I were trying to make a business out of these tools.
- My employer uses these tools. I build them to solve my own problems. 25% of the work is done anyway; why not release it? Releasing it also gives me the incentive to turn the tools into much more finished products, with real documentation and test suites and decent command-line behavior that conforms to expectations.
- My employer gets community improvements sometimes. Brian mentions the pervasive myth that when you open the source code for something you get a flood of improvements, feedback, and patches. As he says, this doesn't happen. But it occasionally does, and seldom is better than never. This is probably one of the biggest reasons my employer lets me release things, under my name with my copyright, that I sometimes even work on while I'm at work. That, and we have a great company culture and my boss knows I believe deeply in Freedom, and what's important to me is important to him too.
- I'm being of service, and that feels good. Brian is probably right that this is a fairly small factor for most people who develop Free Software, in my opinion.
- I'm learning and having fun.
- Brian comments on people who want to fill missing functions in a commercial product, and make money from that. I do provide missing functions, and that's intentional, but it's not to make money — it's because I need it. Providing missing functionality is not an obvious and inevitable reason to write something, by the way. If I wanted to make a business out of some product, I could just as easily try to duplicate someone's work but compete with them on quality or convenience. Or marketing and packaging, for that matter; we all know which very large company has made a lot of money doing that. There are many good business models.
There's another element Brian didn't mention: selling these tools would put me in a totally different frame of mind, one I don't think I would enjoy. I can't say for sure, but I think it would become a chore and I'd get burned out and resent it. Sometimes that happens anyway — but when it does I can take a break. I do spend quite a bit of free time on these things, as Brian says. Evenings, weekends, and so on. If you're not willing to do that, I suggest you do it for a business.
Speaking of all this, just today I got an email offering me a bounty for fixing a bug in my Javascript number-formatting library. This is the first time this has ever happened, I think. If you want to support me too, how about you send me something from my wish list?

Bill Wisth has a problem. It's not his running tab at a seafood restaurant nor is it the fact that he weighs 350 pounds. Bill's issue is that a place claiming to be "all-you-can-eat" would have the nerve to cut him off after just 20 pieces of fish.
To demonstrate his displeasure, Bill has vowed to picket outside Chuck's each Sunday "until the restaurant rethinks what happened."
Not a bad place to be every weekend considering, "Well, they do have like some of the best pizza in town, if you like deep dish."

Sunday's Captain Morgan Legendary Moment laid the foundation for the Bruins' historic Stanley Cup run of 2011.
Back in June of 2010, the B's sent struggling defenseman Dennis Wideman and a pair of draft picks to the Panthers in exchange for forwards Nathan Horton and Gregory Campbell. Only third-round pick Kyle Rau is still in the Florida system — though he has not suited up for the pro club — while Horton and Campbell have both played key roles on a Bruins team that is perennially among the best in the NHL.

Here's to making memories in a new neighborhood
So long, Springbrook. We had some good times.
When I first moved into the genteel old neighborhood of former factory housing back in 2007, I was newly divorced with a son who wasn't quite 2. When I pulled out last weekend with the final truckload of belongings bound for a new Blount County home, I couldn't help but marvel at how many things have changed over the past half-decade.
My son recently turned 7; I've been remarried for almost four years; the roommate with whom I moved in took off for Colorado back in 2008. Seasons have come and gone. The trees lining the streets around Springbrook Park have shed enough leaves every fall to make an ankle-high carpet throughout every yard in the subdivision, and they've burst into the verdant brilliance of new life every spring. I buried two animals in the backyard and have grown vegetables. I've harvested gallons of red jalapenos and smoked them beneath crisp December night skies, sweated gallons in the July heat pulling potatoes and pushed my boy down the short hill in the front yard across several inches of January snow.
It was a good home, surrounded by good people.
There was the Judge, a local magistrate who shall remain nameless, who brought over his dad's old tiller and helped chew up the sod for one of my garden plots. His lovely wife was always gracious when our trio of baying hounds would howl in her direction every time she walked their dog in the backyard.
There was Debbie the awesome neighbor, who deserves a medal or some sort of stipend for putting up with said hounds ranging into her backyard without setting off their electronic collars. Jack, especially, was fond of chasing her car down the driveway, chomping on a tire as she cringed in fear of crushing his jaw.
There's Big James, an old friend who moved up the street last year and always slowed to wave and shout whenever he cruised past the house ... Justin and Megan, the young couple across the street who picked up and moved to West Knoxville earlier this year with their young daughter and a baby on the way ... Ethan, the kid a couple of houses down who wandered the electric line right of way with BB gun in hand, on the hunt for squirrels ... Brittany and Alicia, the Texas Roadhouse bartenders who lived with a chubby hound named Nico, also understanding of our own gaggle of animals ... and so many more folks whose names I never learned but saw almost every day.
Blonde-haired teen walking the neighborhood and texting ... young girl with a child ... the ladies with a boxer whose behavior put ours to shame ... seeing all of these people every day didn't make an impact on my life in the way that friends and loved ones do, but their presence was a constant. The more you live in a place, the more accustomed you become to the routines of those who share that place; their schedules and habits and movements become like the slow-moving hands of a clock. You see them and absentmindedly note them, because it's a sign that all is well in your little corner of Blount County.
In a strange way, I'll miss them. Dogs — and the indoor/outdoor cat, now confined indoors at our new house, who liked to sit on top of the neighbors' cars and on occasion crawl through open automobile windows and slumber in the backseat — aside, I'd like to think we were good neighbors, and that they perhaps marked our moving on with a twinge of melancholy themselves.
I realize most people don't look at the world like I do. I've already met several neighbors in our new neighborhood; The Wife rolls her eyes and calls me "Wilson" after the "Home Improvement" character you only see from the eyes up over the wooden fence separating him from Tim Allen's yard. "Howdy, neighbor!" she mimics, and we both laugh.
It's true, in a way. I'm a people person, and I like to get to know the people with whom I share the block. I'm a pretty friendly, tolerant guy (outside of my job, for coworkers scratching their heads as they read this, wondering if I'm inventing some fictional alternate universe Steve), and in this cyber-age of Facebook posts and e-cards and online holiday greetings, it's far too easy to remove the personal interaction from day-to-day life.
That's a mistake, I believe. Give me a handshake over a friend request, a friendly greeting over a like, a few minutes of conversation over an online chat any day of the week. We're human beings, not robots, and the only way we can move forward in the metaphysical sense of the word is by relying on one another.
So hello, Eagleton. I'm new to the neighborhood, but I have a fenced-in yard for the dogs, and Hugo the cat won't be climbing into your car, so I'd say we're already getting off to a good start. And with Richy Kreme right up the road, I'm already feeling the love.
I look forward to getting to know you better, and when the time comes for us to move on, I hope to leave my little corner of your fair neighborhood a little better than we found it.

Lurgan Celtic 2-3 Dundela 17/12/2011 Championship2.
Ben Roy was the hero for the Duns when his injury time header sealed a valuable 3 points for the Wilgar men in this entertaining league clash at Lurgan.
Dundela were quick out of the blocks and William Faulkner fired them in front with a superb scissor kick goal from Dee Wright's cross on 6 minutes. The lead was to last barely a minute when hesitancy in the Duns defence allowed Murnin in to level.
Both teams made light of the difficult conditions to play some attractive football and on the half hour mark Dundela were gifted a goal when confusion in the home defence resulted in Faulkner firing in his and Dundela's second.
The second half once again had both teams playing some entertaining football on the sodden pitch and it was the home side who got the next goal when Dundela failed to clear a corner and Haire bundled the ball over the line.
It was now end to end football with Dundela arguably having the better chances but just as it looked as if the points would be shared young Lee Lenaghan nipped down the right wing and slung in a superb cross that Ben Roy met with a diving header to send the Dundela players and officials wild with delight.
Both teams should be highly commended for playing out such a great game in the conditions, a point that was made by both sets of club officials after the match.

Sunflower growers needed for maths experiment (From The Advertiser Series)

Sunflower growers needed for maths experiment
1:27pm Thursday 11th October 2012 in News
THE leaders of an educational scheme have asked people who grew sunflowers this summer to consider donating them as part of an experiment started by code breaker Alan Turing.
Earlier this year Darlington Learning Zone students, based at the Imperial Centre, in Grange Road, Darlington, started growing sunflowers in order to take part in an experiment to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Turing, the wartime code breaker and mathematician.
Turing believed that the numbers of spirals on sunflower seed heads were part of a mathematical sequence called the Fibonacci numbers, named after the 13th Century mathematician.
After the war Turing tried to test his hypothesis but did not collect enough data to verify it before he died, so Manchester University has launched this worldwide sunflower spiral count to see if he was right.
The Learning Zone students are now ready to start counting their spirals, but had mixed results in the garden due to the wet summer.
Anyone who has grown sunflowers and would like to add them to the collection to help the research can taken them to the Imperial Centre when the petals have dropped and the seeds are visible.
Size does not matter; the experiement relies on variation. The scheme will host a counting day at the Imperial Centre on Saturday between 3.30pm and 5pm.
For more information on the experiment visit turingsunflowers.com, or call 01325-467770.

Demographic and epidemiological determinants of healthcare costs in Netherlands: cost of illness study
OBJECTIVES: To determine the demands on healthcare resources caused by different types of illnesses and variation with age and sex. DESIGN: Information on healthcare use was obtained from all 22 healthcare sectors in the Netherlands. Most important sectors (hospitals, nursing homes, inpatient psychiatric care, institutions for mentally disabled people) have national registries. Total expenditures for each sector were subdivided into 21 age groups, sex, and 34 diagnostic groups. SETTING: Netherlands, 1994. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Proportion of healthcare budget spent on each category of disease and cost of health care per person at various ages. RESULTS: After the first year of life, costs per person for children were lowest. Costs rose slowly throughout adult life and increased exponentially from age 50 onwards till the oldest age group (> or = 95). The top five areas of healthcare costs were mental retardation, musculoskeletal disease (predominantly joint disease and dorsopathy), dementia, a heterogeneous group of other mental disorders, and ill defined conditions. Stroke, all cancers combined, and coronary heart disease ranked 7, 8, and 10, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The main determinants of healthcare use in the Netherlands are old age and disabling conditions, particularly mental disability. A large share of the healthcare budget is spent on long term nursing care, and this cost will inevitably increase further in an ageing population. Non-specific cost containment measures may endanger the quality of care for old and mentally disabled people.

Effects of seva & Miracle By Sri Bhagvan |
Miracle shared by one more devotee, This is perfect example of Effects of seva for all other devotees,and sevaks, Thank you Bhagavan;
Miracle shared by one more devotee, This is perfect example of Effects of seva for all other devotees,and sevaks, Thank you Bhagavan; This is Nitesh.N from Chennai (India). I'm in Dharma for the past nine years. Though I know Bhagavan for the past nine years I didn't have faith on him and that came only when I attended Maha Deekhsa (Seven step process) on the May'09. And from then, there is a lot miracles happening in my day to day life internally as well as externally. But I would like to share a great miracle which happened yesterday (16th June'09) night. As I mentioned earlier now I have started believing in Bhagavan, as a result I started doing seva. I just can't say, I'm a great sevak but then I can surely say I contributed just 0.5% of my time for seva. Well, I'm now working as a Conference Coordinator in a MNC Company. And I took two months leave for my exams so didn't get my salary properly. I was in real need of Rs2000 yesterday and I just prayed Bhagavan like this " Bhagavan, I don't know what you are goanna do and its your duty that you should give me 2000 or you should help by showing the way to get the money".

By Mike Madden on December 5th, 2011 in
It shouldn't be surprising, then, that undun is overtly bleak in its outlook. On "Sleep", the ever-cerebral frontman Tariq "Black Thought" Trotter provides a glimpse into Redford's mindset postmortem: "There I go, from a man to a memory/Damn, I wonder if my fam will remember me." We quickly learn that Redford was a good guy at one point (maybe even always), but his long-acquired distaste for the hard-knock life led to an ultimately fatal vision of "oceanfronts," "model chicks," and "Benzes with camera plates." A play-by-play of the rest of the album isn't necessary, but suffice to say the storyline here is one of the saddest and most compellingly crafted in recent concept album history.
Anyone coming into undun expecting a series of three- and four-minute songs with traditional verse-chorus-verse structures (like what comprised last year's How I Got Over) will be let down; the whole thing zips by in under 40 minutes, and only half of its 14 tracks top two and a half minutes. Rather, it's best to approach it as one cohesive statement that requires at least a handful of close listens to fully sift through. It's not that the songs here aren't affecting in and of themselves – a few of them, like "Make My" and "Tip the Scale", rank among the band's greatest moments this side of 2002's Phrenology – but that the rhymes of any one song just don't hold up well outside the context of the entire story. After all, the words here belong to Redford, not Black Thought nor any of the guests (Big K.R.I.T., Phonte, Dice Raw, among others).
Musically, the meat of undun matches its gloomy rhymes, save the borderline-funky "Kool On" and the aptly titled "Stomp". The two most prominent pieces of The Roots' usual sonic architecture are running on all cylinders here, as Kamal Gray's minor-key electric piano work drips with melancholy and Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson's ever-chunky drumming affords a scintillating humanity that no DAW-birthed beat could muster. Plus, with its top-shelf, nuanced production and engineering, the album simply sounds great. With that, even the most cursory listen (i.e. one that puts the storyline on the backburner) is rewarding.
Polishing off the festivities is a four-part, neo-classical suite that expands the original "Redford" and features piano work courtesy of jazz vet D.D. Jackson. After a wistful string quartet wafts through for the final time, an abrupt, funereal piano chord reminds us that Redford is still gone for good. Suddenly, the chorus of "Make My" rings truer than ever: "They told me that the ends won't justify the means/They told me that the end won't justify the dreams/That I've had since a child." All told, the story undun tells is sometimes chilling, often thrilling, and always illuminating.
Essential Tracks: "Make My", "One Time", and "Tip the Scale"

Charlie Chan's Chance
Warner Oland's third appearance as humble oriental sleuth Charlie Chan was in the 1932 release Charlie Chan's Chance. This time, our hero has a personal reason to solve the murder at hand; he himself was the intended victim, but another man was killed by mistake. Keeping one step ahead of both the New York police and Scotland Yard, Chan tracks down the man responsible for the murder, who turns out to be the mastermind of a vast criminal empire. One of the film's biggest surprises was that perennial "hidden killer" Ralph Morgan was not the culprit. Charlie Chan's Chance is one of four early "Chan" talkies which no longer exist, though outtakes have shown up in various video "blooper" reels. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Disorderly Conduct
The troubled career of a luckless motorcycle cop provides the basis for this police drama. His difficulties begin when he arrests the woman his captain has been dating for speeding. Unfortunately, her father is one of the most powerful (and villainous) men in town. The cop's eagerness gets him promptly demoted. Angrily, he gets revenge by warning the local gangster of an impending raid. When his captain finds out, he punishes the cop by forcing him to lead that raid. In doing so, the young cop sees the captain's girl in cahoots with the crime boss. Helping her escape, the cop turns around and begins blackmailing her father. Time passes and eventually the gangster boss gets out of prison. He immediately heads out for revenge on the double-crossing copper by killing his nephew. Suddenly filled with guilty remorse, the cop decides to reform and so kills the crook, gives back the extortion money, and confesses his crime to the captain. In turn the captain rewards the repentant officer by restoring him to his previous status. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Randolph Scott plays one of the members of Quantrill's Raiders, staging attacks on Kansas on behalf of the fallen Confederacy in the years following the Civil War. During one raid, Scott kills the man he holds responsible for the death of his brother. The dead man was innocent, and Scott becomes a fugitive from justice. Months later, he resurfaces as the marshal of a Kansas town, in which he routs a vicious gang with the help of another social outcast, Jesse James (Dale Robertson). Written by western "regular" Frank Gruber, Fighting Man of the Plains was one of a group of Randolph Scott oaters produced independently by Nat Holt and released through 20th Century-Fox. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

For the Love of Mary
Deanna Durbin's career was clearly on the downswing when she starred in For the Love of Mary. Durbin plays a switchboard operator at the White House, whose hiccuping spells throw several incoming special-interest callers into a tizzy. The President himself cures Durbin of her hiccups, thereby becoming entangled with the girl's various romances. She, in turn, finds herself neck-deep in numerous political intrigues. A forgettable comedy with disposable songs, For the Love of Mary turned out to be Deanna Durbin's last picture. The onetime mortgage-lifter of Universal Pictures was tired of the Hollywood grind and of fighting a losing battle with her fluctuating weight; thus she retired to France with her director-husband Charles David. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

One wonders if Donald O'Connor would have consented to star in Francis if he knew that a series was to follow. Adapted by David Stern from his own novel, the film stars O'Connor as GI Peter Sterling, who appears to be bucking for a Section Eight. Seems that Sterling keeps insisting that Francis, a cantankerous Army mule, has the power of speech. It turns out that Francis not only
talk, but is also a superb military strategist. With Francis' help, Sterling breaks up a Nazi spy ring and becomes a hero -- but this is only the beginning, as the future entries in Universal's Francis series would prove over and over. Providing able support to the hapless O'Connor are Patricia Medina, Ray Collins, and especially ZaSu Pitts as a bewildered Army nurse. The voice of Francis is provided by Chill Wills, who likewise showed up in most of the Francis sequels, and who, like O'Connor, bailed out before the final entry, Francis in a Haunted House (1956). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Producer Albert Zugsmith serves up another all-star exposé with High School Confidential. Delivering a superb performance under the circumstances, Russ Tamblyn heads the cast as "typical" high schooler Tony Baker. Usually seen in the company of his voluptuous "aunt" Gwen Dulaine (the truly impressive Mamie Van Doren), Tony convinces one and all that he's looking for kicks of the controlled-substance kind. In truth, however, our hero is really an undercover narcotics agent named Mike Wilson, bound and determined to smash the operation of drug lord Mr. A. (Jackie Coogan). The once-in-a-lifetime cast includes such worthies as John Drew Barrymore (Drew Barrymore's daddy), Ray Anthony (then married to Mamie Van Doren), Charles Chaplin Jr., Michael Landon, and Jerry Lee Lewis as "himself." This updated Reefer Madness is not to be missed! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Spencer Tracy and James Stewart team up for this World War II adventure, based on an supposedly true incident from World War II. Stewart plays John Royer, an ex-newspaper reporter with a backhand knowledge of Malaya, and Tracy plays a criminal named Carnaghan, doing time in Alcatraz for smuggling. They are brought together for an undercover assignment -- to smuggle a large shipment of rubber out of Japanese-held territory in Malaya and deliver the tonnage to awaiting U.S. ships. Carnaghan and Royer plod through the jungles and have to deal with several unscrupulous contacts including a man calling himself The Dutchman (Sydney Greenstreet), a helpful FBI agent named Kellar (John Hodiak), and a sneaky Japanese officer by the name of Colonel Tomura (Richard Loo). ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Peggy Brookfield (Diana Lynn) is one of many aspirants for the position of Queen of the annual Tournament of Roses in Pasadena, Calfornia. Also competing is Peggy's sister Susan (Barbara Lawrence). Both girls make the trek from Ohio to Pasadena in the company of their father (Charles Coburn), a retired professor. Peggy would seem to have the advantage in the contest, save for one small drawback: she is secretly married to Johnny Higgins (Rock Hudson), and the rules clearly stipulate that the Rose Queen must be single. And that's just one of the many comic complications packed into Peggy's chucklesome 77 minutes. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Riders of the Purple Sage
The first talkie version of Zane Grey's classic yarn Riders of the Purple Sage proved a suitable vehicle for Fox Studios' resident cowboy star George O'Brien. Within an astonishingly brief running time, the film manages to pack together all the plot ingredients in the Grey original, save one: chief villain Noah Beery is no longer an amoral Mormon elder but instead a crooked judge. O'Brien is cast as Texas Ranger Jim Lassiter, who devotes his life to rescuing his sister and daughter, who've been kidnapped by Lew Waters (Beery). Taking a job at the ranch owned by Jane Withersteen (Marguerite Churchill), Jim learns from Jane that Waters is now living pseudonymously as "respectable" Judge Dyer. The famous finale, in which Jim and Jane escape a posse by sealing themselves off in a fertile valley seems a bit ludicrous when seen today, but works within the context of the film. Magnificently photographed by George Schneiderman, the 1931 Riders of the Purple Sage remains the best adaptation of this Zane Grey classic (A remake of a 1925 Tom Mix vehicle, it would itself be remade, less effectively, in 1941). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Somebody Up There Likes Me
Once you get past the fact that handsome Paul Newman could never pass for plug-ugly boxer Rocky Graziano in real life, you will be able to accept Somebody Up Their Likes Me as one of the more accomplished movie biopics of the 1950s. Based on Graziano's autobiography (co-written with Rowland Barber), the film accurately depicts the teen-aged Rocky as an unregenerate punk, evidently doomed by his slum environment, and his own lousy attitude, to a life of petty crime. Determining that the only way he'll make a living is with his fists, Rocky becomes a boxer, at first willing to participate in a series of fixed fights. Eventually, Rocky develops a conscience and sense of self-respect, no small thanks to his sweetheart (and later wife) Norma (Pier Angeli). The film ends on an optimistic note after Rocky wins a "clean" bout with Tony Zale (playing himself). Training extensively with Graziano prior to and during production, Newman is quite impressive in his first worthwhile film role (this was only his third film, following the execrable The Silver Chalice and the forgettable outing The Rack). The title song in Somebody Up There Likes Me was written by Bronislau Kaper and Sammy Cahn, and performed by Perry Como. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The title character is Edmond O'Brien, a lonely travelling salesman who ends up married to two women, Eve (Joan Fontaine)--and Phyllis (Ida Lupino). Eventually, of course, the truth comes out. Directed by costar Ida Lupino, The Bigamist manages to evoke a certain amount of sympathy for Edmond O'Brien, without in any way advocating or excusing his lifestyle. It's worth noting that an Italian film made around the same time, also titled The Bigamist, is a comedy. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Robert Francis is at the center of the story as Willis Keith, a newly-minted ensign assigned to the destroyer/minesweeper U.S.S. Caine during World War II. Soon after his arrival, the ship gets a new captain, Lt. Comdr. Philip Francis Queeg Humphrey Bogart, a tough, no-nonsense veteran officer who tries to turns the crew into proper sailors and the Caine into a tight ship, engendering resentment from some of the men and several of his officers. A veteran of difficult years of service for too long, Queeg has insecurities about himself, his command, and his career that begin to manifest themselves as spells of temper over small details that cause him to make mistakes. Lt.Keefer (Fred MacMurray), the glib-tongued communications officer, begins making suggestions to the ship's sincere but overburdened first officer, Lt. Steve Maryk (Van Johnson), that Queeg may have mental problems. Maryk initially rejects these suggestions, and tries to support the captain, but conditions deteriorate to the point where Maryk is forced to relieve Queeg of command, and is charged -- along with Keith, who supported him -- with mutiny. Enter Lt. Barney Greenwald (Jose Ferrer), a lawyer in civilian life, who reluctantly agrees to help them, mostly out of sympathy for the impossible predicament in which Maryk has found himself trapped. ~ Bruce Eder, Rovi

The Gal Who Took the West
For some reason, whenever Universal used the word "Gal" in a film's title, Yvonne de Carlo usually headed the cast. In Gal Who Took the West, de Carlo plays Lillian Marlowe, an New York songstress who heads Thataway. She becomes the romantic bone of contention between the feuding O'Hara cousins, Grant (John Russell) and Lee (Scott Brady). The hostilities boil over into an all-out range war, and federal troops are summoned. Can Lillian succeed where other, better-armed negotiators have failed. The lighthearted nature of Gal Who Took the West is underlined by staging the film in flashback, as related by a pair of toothless old codgers (Clem Bevans and Houseley Stevenson). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Luck of the Irish
A semi-fantasy with sociological overtones, The Luck of the Irish stars Tyrone Power as an American journalist named Stephen Fitzgerald visiting the home of his ancestors in Ireland. Power encounters a jolly old man (Cecil Kellaway) who claims to be a leprechaun -- and proves it to the journalist's satisfaction. The leprechaun trails Stephen to New York, smooths the path of romance between Stephen and lovely Nora (Anne Baxter), and watches in dismay as Stephen becomes the tool of a quasi-fascistic publisher. The journalist comes to his senses thanks to the leprechaun's intervention and goes to work for a more liberal publication. He heads back to Ireland with new wife, Nora, and the beneficent leprechaun. The Luck of the Irish was based on a novel by Guy and Constance Jones, who probably would have been blacklisted when the political winds of Hollywood shifted a few years later. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Scarlet Hour
The Scarlet Hour was a relatively bold experiment for a mid-1950s Paramount release. The studio expended a great deal of money on the project and enlisted the services of top-flight director Michael Curtiz -- then populated the cast with young unknowns. It also used a series of experimental lenses called Fujinon lenses, which had the distinction of alllowing filming at reduced light levels given their larger than normal apertures. Carol Ohmart and Tom Tryon (yes, the future novelist) star as Paulie and Marsh, respectively the film's villainess and protagonist. Knowing that Marsh is hopelessly in love with her, Paulie uses him as a dupe in an upcoming jewelry heist. Only after a killing has occurred does Marsh come to his senses. Jody Lawrance, whose previous career as a Columbia contract player had led nowhere, is "introduced" as the good girl to whom Marsh eventually retreats. Other comparative newcomers in the cast include Elaine Stritch, James Gregory and Edward Binns. Nat "King" Cole turns up for a nightclub performance of the Ray Evans-Jay Livingston tune

The Velvet Touch
Based upon a story by William Mercer, The Velvet Touch stars Rosalind Russell as Valerie Stanton, a celebrated Broadway actress whose latest smash comedy is coming to the end of its successful run. The play's producer, Gordon Dunning, has produced all of Stanton's hits for the last decade, and takes credit for making her the star she is today. He is therefore upset when she informs him that she wishes to make a break with him by both marrying Michael Morrell, a renowned architect, and by taking a stab at one of the classic roles -- namely Hedda Gabler -- under the auspices of another producer. Dunning has no intention of letting her move forward with her plans, and he tells her that if she refuses to continue working with him in light, profitable comedies, he will reveal unflattering information about her to Morrell. Frightened that this will destroy her relationship, Stanton picks up a statue from Dunning's desk and delivers a fatal blow. Fortunately, because she is wearing her trademark long black gloves, there are no fingerprints, and Stanton creates a plausible alibi. Suspicion therefore shifts to Marian Webster, a rival of Stanton's who finds the body and was once romantically involved with Dunning. Stanton seems to have gotten away with murder -- but can she avoid making any mistakes as police captain Danbury proceeds with the investigation? ~ Craig Butler, Rovi

The Wings of Eagles is filmmaker John Ford's paean to his frequent collaborator--and, it is rumored, drinking buddy--Cmdr. Frank "Spig" Wead. John Wayne stars as Wead, a reckless WW1 Naval aviator who (it says here) was instrumental in advancing the cause of American "air power". In private life, Wead becomes estranged from his wife Minnie (Maureen O'Hara) after the death of their baby. Drinking heavily, Wead tumbles down the stairs of his home, and as a result he is apparently paralyzed for life. With the help of happy-go-lucky Navy mechanic Carson (Dan Dailey), Wead is able to regain minimal use of his legs, but it seems clear that his Naval career is over. Fortunately, he manages to find work as a prolific Hollywood screenwriter, and after the attack of Pearl Harbor he is called back to active duty to oversee the construction of "jeep carriers". Not one of John Ford's more coherent films--in fact, it's downright sloppy at times--The Wings of Eagles nonetheless contains several highlights, not least of which are the "I'm gonna move that toe" scene with John Wayne and Dan Dailey, and Ward Bond's inside-joke performance as irreverent film director "John Dodge". ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The 1912 sinking of the luxury liner Titanic is used as a backdrop for a several fictional subplots, chief of which involves snooty socialite Clifton Webb and his wife Barbara Stanwyck. Stanwyck has booked passage on the ill-fated passenger ship with her daughter (Audrey Dalton) and son (Harper Carter), leaving Webb far behind. Webb manages to board the ship at the last minute, and discovers that Stanwyck plans to divorce him; she further informs him that he is not the father of their son. When the Titanic sideswipes an iceberg and begins its slow descent in the Atlantic, the women and children are put on the lifeboats while the men stay behind to face death (except for cowardly cardsharp Allyn Joslyn, who disguises himself as a woman). The formerly class-conscious Webb acts with conspicuous bravery, seeing to it that several steerage passengers are ushered to safety. He is reunited with his son, who has given up his lifeboat seat to an elderly woman. All misunderstandings swept aside, Webb and his son face their final moments on earth together. In the film's best moment, a miniature recreation of the Titanic is seen sinking beneath the waves as the survivors watch from their lifeboats in numb horror. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Joan Crawford's first Technicolor feature has come to be known as a textbook example of "high camp."

Romance enters her life in the form of her new piano accompanist, blinded war-veteran Tye Graham (Michael Wilding). The fact that Graham refuses to kowtow to the temperamental Jenny's demands, coupled with the adversarial behavior of Graham's seeing-eye dog, makes the pianist all the more attractive to the lonely songstress. Torch Song is a favorite of bad-movie buffs and female impersonators the world over: Highlights include Crawford's blackface musical number, and the now-classic scene in which she simulates blindness to better understand the taciturn Graham.

When nearly perfect counterfeit 20-dollar bills start turning up, the Treasury Department recognizes them as the work of Tris Stewart (Lloyd Bridges), a man already doing a long prison stretch. They offer Stewart a break on his sentence if he'll help them find out who got hold of his old plates, but he initially refuses. Some weeks later, while being transferred to another prison, Stewart escapes from custody -- it turns out that this is a set-up to free Stewart to search for the plates with a treasury agent keeping tabs on him; then he turns on the T-man as well, escaping for real. What Stewart doesn't know is that the agents expected and desired this move, believing that he would only go for the plates if he thought he could make some money from the bills and get out of the country with his girlfriend Laurie (Barbara Payton). They've got her apartment bugged, and one of their own men, Downey (John Hoyt), has been put in place as a customer at the nightclub where she works, quietly establishing himself as a man with some angles of his own and a yen to know her better. Stewart follows the trail to one of his ex-distributors, now in business for himself with the plates. But the man needs money, and Stewart thinks he can get it with help from Downey -- he doesn't like him trying to impress her, but does like it that he is a grifter with some money. They become partners, putting up Downey's cash to get the 250,000 dollars in counterfeit twenties, which Stewart will spend at face value where he and Laurie are going, in countries where they need U.S. currency and there are no treasury agents around to help identify counterfeit bills. Before the deal can be closed (and the arrest made), a new round of possible double-crosses starts between the hoods, and Downey's cover is suddenly blown by accident -- Stewart tries to kill him but is captured instead. Downey's superiors want to pull him out, but the agent thinks he can still salvage the operation if he can get to the plates before Laurie can talk to anyone. That leads to the denouement, an extended series of split-second plot developments with several lives at risk. ~ Bruce Eder, Rovi

Adapted by Don M. Mankiewicz from his own novel, Trial is a surprisingly timely story of how justice can sometimes be compromised by "special interests". It all begins when Mexican youth Angelo Chavez (Rafael Campos) is placed on trial for the murder of a white teenaged girl. Battling the lynch-mob mentality in and out of the courtroom is relatively inexperienced defense attorney David Blake (Glenn Ford). Believing that anything done on behalf of his client is for the common good, Blake approves the organization of an "Angelo Chavez Society" to pay the boy's court costs and ostensibly see that justice is done in the face of small-town prejudice. Soon, however, Blake discovers that both he and his client are being used as dupes by a Communist lawyer, who hopes that Chavez will be found guilty and executed, thereby creating a martyr for the Red cause. Much was made in 1955 of the fact that the presiding judge is a black man, played by Juano Hernandez. A bit creaky at times, Trial nonetheless still packs a wallop when shown today. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Carpe momentum, or perhaps more appropriately, creare momentum. The word momentum comes directly to us from the Latin meaning movement or moving power. So carpe momentum means seize the momentum and creare momentum means create the momentum. I discussed the need, as we entered the downturn, to keep your team's eye on the ball. The sales force will be particularly vulnerable to a general sense of bad news, negative direction or slowing progress. The risk of negativism and distraction by everything from news of the capital to the stock market is on the upswing again. It is up to us to make sure that for every negative message received, the team is bombarded with positive news and ideas for how to continue to find opportunities and positive expectations in the particular market(s) served.
The world is not coming to an end. People still need to eat, children are still returning to school needing supplies, the price of corn is up, oil is down, night follows day, and soon the Europeans will be returning to work from their annual month of August holiday!
You can certainly schedule mass rah, rah sessions, but these can sometimes be seen as nothing more than cheerleading and can certainly hold down productivity. What is more effective at moments like this is sitting down with individuals and discussing their particular situations and where the bright spots are. This kind of personal interaction lets the individual know you value them and their contribution to the organization. It helps them see in very personal terms that things are not as bad as the noise makes them out to be. Help each of your key leaders, whether they are sales or executives, to remember just how lucky they are to be exactly where they are at a time like this.
Business psychologists will tell you that people who feel lucky often feel more secure than people who feel that their skills were the only thing that got them where they are. I'm not sure why this is the case, but there you have it. In fact, Bo Peabody argues in his book Lucky or Smart that winning is mostly luck in the entrepreneurial game. So get together with your team members and help them creare momentum.

Cocaine haul found in nuts at port
3:00pm Friday 27th September 2013 in News
A HAUL of cocaine worth more than £2million that was stashed in a cargo of nuts has been seized at the Port of Tilbury.
Border Force officers discovered the drugs, which had been shipped to the port from Panama, on Sunday.
They were hidden within a container that was carrying a legitimate cargo of nuts.
The smugglers had stashed 46kgs of cocaine with a street value of £2.4million inside two black holdalls.
Investigations are now continuing into the huge find.
Mark Kennedy, border force assistant director at Tilbury, said: "Cocaine is a destructive drug which ruins the lives of users and damages the wider community.
"This was a large find and will have significantly disrupted the activity of the criminal parties involved.
"Seizures like this demonstrate how Border Force officers are at the forefront of the fight to keep illegal drugs and other banned substances off the streets."
Border Force officers use hi-tech search equipment to combat immigration crime and detect banned and restricted goods that smugglers attempt to bring into the country.
They use a variety of search techniques including sniffer dogs, carbon dioxide detectors, heartbeat monitors and scanners, as well as visual searches, to find well-hidden stowaways, illegal drugs, firearms and cigarettes which would otherwise end up causing harm to local people, businesses and communities.
Anyone with information about suspected drug smuggling can contact the Border Force hotline on 0800 59 5000.

What is GAP Insurance?
If your vehicle is ever totaled in an accident, did you know your auto insurance may not give you enough to pay off your loan balance? The minute you drive off the dealer's lot, the value of your new vehicle starts to depreciate. In some cases it can take years before the value catches up with your loan balance. If your vehicle is totaled in an accident your insurance company may not value your car high enough to pay off the loan and you could end up making payments on a vehicle that's sitting in a junk yard.
You can prevent this from happening by purchasing GAP insurance. GAP stands for Guaranteed Auto Protection and it can be vital for anyone borrowing money for a brand new vehicle. With GAP insurance, you don't have to worry about whether your car's value matches the loan balance. If your vehicle is totaled in an accident, this coverage will bridge the gap between what the insurance company says your car is worth and the actual amount you still owe on it.
Avoid this Common Mistake
When you buy your new vehicle from a dealership, the salesperson and the loan officer are probably going to try to sell you GAP insurance. They make it easy by adding the cost of the insurance to your loan so you don't have to pay any money out of pocket. This small convenience could mean you end up paying a lot more than necessary. Not only is the GAP insurance through a dealership overpriced, but you'll also pay interest on it until the loan is paid off.
So let's take a look at what this can mean for you. The coverage from the dealer can cost $500 or more. Let's say you finance your vehicle for five years at 10% interest. That's an extra $50 dollars per year in interest just for the gap coverage. Add that amount to the initial cost of $500 and you're spending $750 or more for coverage you may be able to purchase for a fraction of that cost.
Talk to Your Auto Insurance Agent First
Before you decide to add GAP coverage to your auto loan, be sure to check with your auto insurance agent first. Although it's not advertised, many insurance companies offer GAP coverage for brand new, previously untitled vehicles. This is a special endorsement you must request at the same time you add your new vehicle to the policy. Surprisingly, you can often purchase this valuable coverage for less than fifty dollars a year. Compared to the price you'll pay through the dealership, that's a savings of $500 or more for the same coverage.
Another advantage to adding the coverage to your insurance policy is that you can remove it at any time. Once you're confident the value of the car is higher than the loan payoff amount, you simply ask your insurance agent to delete the coverage from your policy. When you add the coverage to your auto loan, you're stuck paying for it until the loan is paid off completely.

Economists have learned what policies should be applied to avoid the Great Depression.

The foundation will introduce its new Vascular Access Connection to Research Award Program (VACRA) at the conference. Through the program, applicants can submit proposals quarterly for grant awards of $1,500 each.
The foundation, which supports research and education in vascular access, is planning to offer a course for potential applicants that covers proposal writing, research ethics, and evidence-based practice. The course is open to AVA members who wish to submit a proposal but who do not have a terminal degree and/or have not completed an institutional review board (IRB) process in the last decade.
"AVA's annual conference is an exciting time for us and also a crucial one for the foundation," said Denise Macklin, BSN, RN, VA-BC, RNC, president of the foundation's board of directors. "The conference is where we raise a substantial portion of the funds that we distribute throughout the year in the form of research grants and scholarships. A successful conference means greater advances in evidence-based vascular access, so I invite all members and Event Sponsors to support our efforts at this year's gathering."
The meeting will feature two fundraising events for the foundation:
- Ice Cream Social – Tickets for this event, which raises funds for the foundation's research grants and educational scholarships, are tax-deductible. Tickets may be purchased for $55 at the door. Attendees will learn about the Member Research Award Program and view the foundation's new video about its work. The Ice Cream Social will take place Friday, Sept. 20, from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Presidential Ballroom of the convention center.
- Connect the Dots Game – A Connect the Dots game card is included in all attendee registration bags. When members visit the booths of participating Event Sponsors, they can pick up a colored dot to place on their card. Attendees who complete their card receive a free Connect the Dots T-shirt. This event raises funds for the foundation because Event Sponsors make a donation to participate in the game.

No you can't. This screen connect to thunderbolt enabled devises, only, and the Apple Cinema Display only connect to devises with a mini display port, neither of which the Apple TV has or can connect to. The Apple TV can only connect to a HD TV with an HDMI cable.

You need HDMI for the Apple TV. If you can convert it, which may be possible but would require a digital signal converter, you could... but it would be better to just buy a cheaper, relatively same-sized television for the Apple TV. (You could connect a Mac to it also, just not Thunderbolt or DisplayPort)

The speed was a bit of a refresher the first couple of laps but as I got up to speed, again, like I said on the road and street courses, the car is a pretty logical progression from the Indy Lights car so I was very happy to see that. Obviously we were running a very conservative setup today just to make sure we got through Day 1 and rookie orientation. The car felt very good and the team worked well today. I am getting acclimated with the spotters a little bit which will be important come race time. Overall, I think it was a very good first day on all fronts."FAST FACTS: Will compete for the first time on an oval in an Indy car at the Indianapolis 500...Earned a season-high start of eighth place in his debut at Barber and a season-high finish of fourth in Long Beach to date...He tested with NHR for two days at Sebring in December and another two days in January before testing at Barber Motorsports Park March 14-15 where he set the seventh fastest time overall at the test as well as temporarily held the fastest time on Tuesday...Toronto native Hinchcliffe, 24, finished second in the 2010 Firestone Indy Lights season standings after three wins and four poles. In total he earned eight podium finishes in 13 races...
