Michigan Supreme Court won't intervene in $100M deal with Prisoners
LANSING, Mich. (AP) - The Michigan Supreme Court has declined to intervene in a dispute over a $100 million settlement with former and current female prisoners who claimed they were sexually harassed behind bars Oakland County wants the women's names so victims of their crimes can also be paid. While that dispute is pending, the county wants the state to suspend payments.
But in a 3-2 decision released Friday, the Supreme Court said it won't freeze payments. It declined to overturn a decision by the state appeals court. Two justices didn't participate. Justice Stephen Markman and Chief Justice Robert Young Jr. says the lack of intervention will hurt crime victims.

Of course, to say that deleveraging is the key factor governing the speed of recovery is not to say that it's the only factor. There's the euro crisis, electoral uncertainty, the fiscal cliff, and many other things.
What explains the slow recovery is "not just the balance-sheet issue," says Beth Ann Bovino, deputy chief economist for Standard & Poor's. "Partly it's a crisis of confidence. People are afraid to borrow and spend."
But Bovino, for one, is relatively positive about prospects for 2013. She notes that household default rates are down across the board, home prices may be bottoming out, and job creation has been stronger during this recovery—financial crisis notwithstanding—than it was at the same point following the 2001 recession. "This so-called jobless recovery," she says, "might not be as jobless as people have been saying."

Fox News -- a dramatic appeal by the Chinese activist at the center of an international firestorm.
And now word of a possible breakthrough in the case welcome to a brand new hour of America live -- Megyn Kelly.
Chang won Chang pleading for his life during a phone call he made it to an emergency congressional hearing here in the United States.
About China.
Earlier today an American University apparently offered the man a fellowship.
And we are told the China has agreed to allow Chen and his family to apply for travel permits -- if true that is a major breakthrough.
He sparked a diplomatic standoff after a daring escape from house arrest he was protesting China's.
One child policy it's forced abortions forced sterilizations and infanticide.
They put him under house arrest for that he wound up.
Leaving house arrest and wound up at the at the US embassy in Beijing.
Well lawmakers are now raising Syria -- serious questions over whether China will actually let -- leave the country as promised.
And whether this administration handled this situation.
Joining me now Republican congressman Chris Smith of New Jersey.
I was at congressional hearing the Chen phoned into.
He's a member of the house foreign relations committee comes -- thank you so much for being here a first of all that to -- bizarre.
Well it was a very good break -- I was trying all day to get on the phone with intent -- and and finally Bob -- -- -- did was one of our our witnesses say a dissident who spent time in prison himself.
And then we frankly just put the phone to the microphone.
And he made an impassioned plea.
To protect his family he is very wary not just that his wife in and two children.
But also about his mother his nephew and other members of the family so you know while this is eight breakthrough in the Chinese frankly.
This was a diplomatic and public relations nightmare the Chinese Government because finally.
The media including fox are focusing on the cruelty of the one chopper couple of policy in effect since 1979.
-- -- I offered my First Amendment on this combatting it back in 198428.
Years ago.
It is a horrific policy it is -- true war on women.
And the consequences to women have been horrific.
As well as little girls are missing about 100 million.
100 million underscored.
Girls because of sex selection abortions in China.
There's 500 suicides of females of women every single day in China -- -- our gen Y gen.
Great courage and his wife you want began documenting these cases.
-- how does this actions and that was the issue on which he he chose to take a stand and we talked in the exactly about how the Chinese rewarded him for that.
He sought refuge at the US embassy and then heat heat they got -- out somehow or another he now claims that he was told.
That the Chinese were threatening his family the State Department says that's not true at all -- left of his own volition we don't know what the truth is I guess today but.
The point is he left and that he was no longer able to seek asylum -- in American custody -- on American soil.
And there was a real question about it whether we had mishandled that because Hillary Clinton was on -- way over Tim Geithner was on his way over.
And there's a suggestion that they just wanted to now they want an amount they didn't want an international incident you say now that the congress needs to look into that.
All -- -- -- and and then -- fact there was clearly a hurry up offense.
In order to clear the decks if you will so that.
The beauty of that -- the the secretary of state and Geithner would be able to have this meeting.
My feeling is whenever these cases take place they've taken plays all over the world on their various administrations.
You take your time.
And it may take weeks even months what you make sure you know exactly what the individuals seeking is an asylum is it to be reintegrated into.
His country or her country.
But with protections I don't know how China could have provided protection for him there's no place in China where it is that it is safe.
Or -- -- rights activists.
If -- definition -- -- got another we've reportedly struck this deal he gets to come to America and go to an American university's Stanley gets to come to have we avoided.
International embarrassment.
Well frankly the -- we've got to keep our vigilance.
Hopefully disease said they're gonna facilitate this they the Chinese guy.
-- -- they offered it.
But hopefully other members of his family including his -- he was mom and others are will not be retaliated against.
And the woman who ferried him from -- to Beijing.
A brave young woman put him in the car and -- there are heard in -- who.
Pay wrong.
She was arrested.
We understand she's no longer arrested but being surveil by the Chinese secret police right are we that media needs to keep the focus on.
This hero.
So she does not become a victim.
-- -- Smith thank you so much for being here sir thank you very much -- well here's a little background -- watching.
He reportedly began his activism -- an early age campaigning for tax exempt it exemptions for people with disabilities.
-- later enrolled in law classes to help villagers with legal problems.
But what raised -- international profile was his campaign against forced abortions in China we are told as I mentioned that is what led.
To his arrest and in case you're wondering about the eyeglasses he is line.

Buenos Aires 2001
21-25 October 2001
The 18th World Energy Congress was the first major global energy event of the 21st century and the first Congress ever held in the region of Latin America and the Caribbean. In his Opening Address to delegates, Argentine President de la Rua stated that modern energy services for everyone is a key to sustainable development, harmony and peace throughout the world. Three current Heads of State from Latin America and the former President of Romania, 25 ministers, and many leaders of global and local energy companies led four keynote addresses and eleven roundtables. Over 3000 delegates from 99 countries participated in the debates. 215 technical papers were published for the Congress, 137 of which were delivered by their authors in discussion or poster sessions. The World Energy Council (WEC) millennium statement "Energy for Tomorrow's World - Acting Now!" established the goals of energy accessibility, energy availability and energy acceptability on which the Congress focussed. The WEC's triennial Survey of Energy Resources and six new reports on Energy Technologies in the 21st century, Latin America and Caribbean Energy Markets in Transition, the Ethical Dimension of the Energy Business, Performance of Generating Plant, Energy Efficiency Policies, and Living in One World were released and can be obtained at www.worldenergy.org. Recent publications by the WEC on Pricing Energy in Developing Countries and on Electricity Market Design in Asia-Pacific were also discussed. A successful Students Programme was linked to the Congress. 54 students from 26 countries participated in special seminars and briefings involving experts from WEC Member Committees. The Congress was held with the backdrop of the horrifying events in the United States in September 2001. However, the delegates were determined to get on with the job of sustainable energy development for the greatest benefit of all and looked forward to the United Nations World Summit on Sustainable Development to be held in South Africa in September 2002.

Mass Effect 3: Leviathan DLC Trailer Released
Not long now for those still excited about Mass Effect 3, as EA has announced the upcoming Leviathan DLC expansion to the campaign. In typical bombastic style, EA has released a rather awesome new trailer, showing fans what theu are to expect if they part from their cash.
Officially speaking BioWare said; "Mass Effect 3: Leviathan is the first story-driven, single player DLC to be made available since Mass Effect 3 Extended Cut. Leviathan expands upon the events of Mass Effect 3 with gripping and emotional storytelling, compelling new characters, powerful weapons and unique upgrades."
What this actually translates to are new areas of the Citadel to explore, uncharted systems, new characters, and a few tidy new weapons including; the AT-12 Raider shotgun and M-55 Argus Assault Rifle. So we are talking about quite a meaty chunk of DLC. The Mass Effect 3 upgrade will come on August 28th for PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 and will set users back 10 dollars or 800 Microsoft points, if you do it like that. Why not check out the trailer below and let us know what you think in the comment section below.

"The Tupamaro movement was supported by Peasant Support Movement and the members of trade unions funded by Sendic in poverty-stricken rural zones.
The movement began by staging the robbing of banks, gun clubs and other businesses in the early 1960s, then distributing stolen food and money among the poor in Montevideo. It took as slogan "Words divide us; action unites us."
At the beginning, it abstained from armed actions and violence; they have always made clear about not being a guerrilla group but a political movement; the eventual use of violent means would be made according to strategy and possibilities. In June 1968, President Jorge Pacheco, trying to suppress labour unrest, enforced a state of emergency and repealed all constitutional safeguards. The government imprisoned political dissidents, used torture during interrogations and brutally repressed demonstrations. ...
As an excuse to justify repressive measures, his administration blamed the Tupamaros, formed earlier in 1963, a left-wing revolutionary organization broadly inspired by Cuba's model. The group kidnapped and later released several foreign nationals, robbed banks to raise funds, freed political prisoners, and killed police officials who were known to torture their political prisoners.
The government imposed modified martial law from June 1968 to March 1969. In June 1969, New York (U.S. state) governor Nelson Rockefeller visited Uruguay on a fact-finding mission. He was met by a great deal of demonstrations, and the government used that as an excuse to reimpose the state of emergency.
In 1971 a truce was declared with the Tupamaros, which led to a relatively quiet atmosphere for the November 1971 national elections, in which Pacheco ran for a second term. Uruguay's constitution does not allow for re-election. The population had become polarized under his presidential term. Many opposition parties united, drawing support from the two traditional parties (Colorado Party and National Party), and created a new coalition named the Frente Amplio ("Broad Front").
Pacheco's handpicked successor, Juan María Bordaberry, won the elections by roughly ten thousand votesfollowing a mysterious halt in the vote count. The stabilization measures implemented throughout Pacheco's term were moderately successful for the companies that were able to cut down on labor costs but most workers' purchasing power was badly reduced. During Bordaberry's term the economy got even worse."
just another neo-**** latin american dictatorship overthrown by the people.
"Does this planet have enough resources so seven or eight billion can have the same level of consumption and waste that today is seen in rich societies? It is this level of hyper-consumption that is harming our planet."
Mujica accuses most world leaders of having a "blind obsession to achieve growth with consumption, as if the contrary would mean the end of the world".
over-consumption destroys the environment and makes people slaves to industry.
"Seriously, don't read this ****.
I had a great article all lined up about the bullshit of fad dieting and how Gluten-Free advocates are ruining the world for people who actually have celiac disease (yes, I'm looking at William Davis). I'm going to save it for another day because it went pretty long and you already endured that with the Batman article.
Instead, I'm going to wax poetic on issues that don't have enough merit to run full length articles. Let me rephrase – these 'issues' are so low on people's radar that the willingness to care about them are on par with a foundation to save Mountain Lions. No, not a reference to Apple in any way, actual Mountain Lions. I'm sure they serve a purpose, but not enough that people would rally around a foundation to save them.
I don't even know if Mountain Lions need saving. I'll have to look into it.
If you're still reading, I commend you on being such a brave soul. Maybe the first issue will put an end to your interest.
What Happened to Courier?
I love the Courier font!
It's an easy font to read and on paper, it's also a fast font. Reading a document in Courier makes you feel like the world's greatest speed reader AND it's also proportionality spaced for easy formatting. When using Courier font, 250 words = 1 page. It's so damn simple!
What happened?
I understand that other serif fonts can be more pleasing to the eye and pack more words on a page… but why get rid of Courier all together?
Still with me? Now that's persistence. I mean, I talked about a font for chrissake!
Okay, try this one. I promise you'll need all the focus you've got to get through it.
People Shouldn't Mock CD Collections
Although my car has a Microsoft Sync system (2010 Focus in case you're wondering), I still keep my binder of CDs in the back seat and actively listen to each one.
People who end up in my back seat, including your sister, always have this need to look through each and every album I bought and make comments. However, at the end of the binder, every body who looked through it has a good idea of where my musical tastes lie.
That's why when I go into somebody's house and see a bunch of albums lining their shelves, I don't mock a single one. These people have felt those artists to be such a big part of their life that they were willing to go to the music store and buy the entire album. That is dedication to music you love.
Compare that to anybody's iPod. When was the last time you asked to see the 'music collection' on someone's iPod?
You didn't.
Why? Because you knew it was going to be full of every song this person had an impulse to listen to – ever. In fact, it probably looks similar to your own iPod with the exception of how you organized your 'Playlists.'
Okay, I'm somewhat impressed. You've hung in there for 529 words, or 2,405 characters and counting.
If this article was released as Twitter updates, you would have read through 17 tweets by now. Some people consider that spamming your followers.
As long as you're still reading, how about this mindless topic?
Everything there is to know about Productivity
I've briefly mentioned before the cult of productivity that followed the release of David Allen's "Getting Things Done."
There are now legions of websites, blogs, programs, tools, apps to help you get things done and be "more productive." I admit, I used to write one of these blogs and I'm still a contributing author to a site that features many productivity posts.
Then it hit me.
The entire productivity world is just two pieces of advice told in unnecessarily complicated ways:
I dare you to find one article on productivity that doesn't stem from one of those two philosophies. It all seems simple, right?
Because it is.
Put a person in a small hut in the middle of the woods with nothing but a typewriter, food and water and the task of writing a document. I promise you they'll finish it.
You want to know the site where I'm a contributing author? Didn't think so.
This next one is close to my heart. I still have yet to figure it out and since you're still reading, for whatever reason, maybe you can help?
Flossing Isn't that Hard
If you're willing to spend 2 minutes brushing your teeth and not bother to spend the extra 40 seconds to floss, there is no hope for your health.
I actually read about people who talk about how to build a habit of flossing your teeth. Building a habit? If you need an entire system to help you build a 40 second habit, it's time to stop lying to yourself.
There is obviously some deep seated issues in your life that you need to work through. Laziness? Apathy? Anxiety?
Please, figure it out.
If you still need help, my suggestion is to eat an entire bag of popcorn every evening. Sit down and eat every kernel, but don't pick any that get stuck from your teeth. Leave it there overnight and tell me how not flossing works out for you.
You're still here?

When the crowds go away: a night in Occupy Bostons tent city
(Photo by Jamie Reysen for boston.com)
Emerson College journalism student Jamie Reysen spent a recent night at Dewey Square to get a sense of what life is like at the Occupy Boston encampment after the days crowds disperse.
My night begins with a guide who calls himself the Grim Reaper.
Ive come to Dewey Square, home of Occupy Bostons then 23-day-old encampment, for a glimpse of life in this tent city when the tourists, commuters and media have all departed.
The Grim Reaper wears all black, with a Veterans for Peace pin penned to his sweatshirt and his right arm in a cast, following an altercation of some sort the night before. He offers to show me around.
Grim Reaper leads me down the narrow lane called Gandhi Street, marked by a statue of the late Indian leader. He points to Weirdo Street, a narrow strip of grass along Atlantic Avenue, on the outskirts of Dewey Square. No reason to go over there, he says. Its just where all the weirdos live.
He weaves expertly through side streets small planks of wood that serve as makeshift pathways for navigating through the sea of tents. As he walks, he references police run-ins, fights among residents and internal issues all vague, half-explained and muffled by the ski mask that covers his mouth.
He lifts his mask but once to talk about his time in the military. And he bangs on both legs metal prosthetics substituting for the limbs he lost overseas.
Be careful and look for someone in a yellow vest, if anything happens, he says as the tour ends.
The tent city
By day, Occupy Boston is a leaderless movement of serious young adults and older, seasoned protesters. It has become a local attraction for tourists and Boston residents alike, who visit Dewey Square for events such as musician Amanda Palmers Oct. 6 performance and social activist Noam Chomskys Oct. 22 appearance.
By night, Dewey Square is a mix of strong believers and homeless folks, whove established a new home a small city within the city. It has its own streets, its own neighborhoods, its own crime from time-to-time, its own neon-vest-clad security and a single Boston Police Department officer, who stays outside the perimeter on detail overnight.
Like any city, the Dewey Square encampment has its commercial section tents filled with food and donated clothes. Theres a space for yoga, a library. Theres also a legal tent and a medical tent. And Occupy has its own news publication.
All this is squeezed into the triangular space between Summer Street, Atlantic Avenue and the John F. Kennedy Expressway. Across the street, to the east is South Station home to the nearest public bathroom, which closes at 1 a.m.
To the west: The Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, symbol of the 1 percent, the perceived greed of Wall Street and the banking community, two forces that triggered these protests nationwide. As many as 300 people live in Dewey Square day and night; others commute there each morning.
As arrests in recent weeks in Oakland, Portland, Ore., and Atlanta have demonstrated, this encampment like other offshoots of Occupy Wall Street around the country survives but for the restraint of the local government. How long that restraint will last no one knows.
But protesters have begun the process of preparing for winter and say theyre planning to stay for the long haul.
The General Assembly
Like most nights, Occupy Boston protesters gather at 7 p.m. this evening for the General Assembly, the movements core decision-making body. The meetings represent the idea of horizontal democracy, in which there are no leaders and no one voice is more important than the rest.
During these gatherings, some protesters present proposals, and attendees can voice their support, objections or amendments.
But people have stopped showing up regularly. The once daily assemblies were recently cut down to four days a week; participants said they couldnt find time to both attend assemblies and meet with their working groups each night.
On this night, a protester named Justin offers the only drafted proposal:
He proposes this statement of purpose: We the people of Occupy Dewey Square, under the name Occupy Boston, have done so in order to maintain a place where all voices are welcome for the open discussion of ideas, grievances and potential solutions to the problems apparent in our society. We will also hold General Assemblies where proposals may be brought to the group as a whole to be consented. We have and will continue to occupy this space for the purpose of democracy.
The proposal is broadcast over the public address system, and audience members speak their mind one short phrase at a time. The facilitator then repeats each phrase for all to hear.
A facilitator repeats an audience members amendment: I would like to include the idea that the current system economically, socially, philosophically is not working for the majority of citizens in this country and internationally. The audience agrees; the amendment is added.
By 8:15 p.m., the 30 or 40 people present reach consensus on the proposal. Justin, 23, who commutes daily from Whitman, asks that his full name be omitted because, he says, the proposal belongs to the movement as a whole. He says he doesnt want to be identified as a leader because it goes against the grain of horizontal democracy.
After the official assembly ends, the mic stays open for attendees to share their thoughts or stories. As a woman tells the audience how she became homeless a story that includes her mothers death and a drug-dealing ex-boyfriend most participants drift away.
A dime bag half-filled with white powder lies on the concrete, forgotten or abandoned. Its my first of several drug and alcohol sightings on the substance-free campsite.
The neighborhood library
Over long days and nights of protest, theres plenty of time to read.
The Howard Zinn Library has a ton of material from which to choose, from nonfiction books on gender and equality to well-known works of fiction like Kurt Vonneguts "Cats Cradle." A whole shelf is dedicated to the works of Zinn the late social activist and Boston University historian. Another is devoted to Papa Noam, educator, linguist and activist Noam Chomsky.
John Ford, 30, has temporarily closed his Plymouth bookstore to man the library, a tent filled with books he and other local librarians have donated. The rental process is simple: Write down your name, take out the book and return it when youre done.
Its here that I meet 22-year-old Georgia native Alex Ingram, who says he was honorably discharged from the Air Force on the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11. Ingram was recently accepted to Northeastern University for the upcoming spring semester. Ford asks him what hell be studying, and Ingram looks down and says, with a laugh: International business.
It is what it is, Ford says, shrugging, but smiling.
The two new friends share a tent prime real estate, they say.
This joke isnt the only reference I hear to the camps demarcations.
First, Grim Reaper is dismissive of Weirdo Street residents. Later, a police officer on duty signals the spot where two groups unified activists and less serious, fragmented groups split.
Ford and Ingrams tent is nestled behind the library and adjacent to the media tent. Thats why Ingram likes it. Short commute to work, he jokes.
Ingram works 16-hour days at the media tent. He translates text and videos into Russian, a skill he mastered when he served as a translator in the Air Force. Hes also fluent in English and French, and he says he regrets never learning Swahili, a language spoken by some of his ancestors.
Near midnight, Ingram retreats to the media tent to translate Chomskys speech, given the previous night at Dewey Square.
Late night with Occupys media maven
As the night progresses and the temperature drops, protesters head to their tents.
Street lamps provide limited light, and it's brighter toward the back a combination of streetlights and glowing apple logos near the media section.
At midnight, I meet Stephanie Fail and Greg Bagen, two Dewey square occupants who seem to have become fast friends. Fail, a 24-year-old UMass Boston student, invites me to join them at the media table.
The anthropology and journalism student had originally moved into Dewey Square to write a story about it. But as of Oct. 23, she had been there 16 days, dropping a class to devote more time to her work within the movement.
Fail has been managing content for Occupy Boston Globe, the camps news outlet, which had surpassed its $8,000 fund-raising goal that day on Kickstarter. Citizen journalists and fellow protesters contribute text stories, photos, and video footage. Fail writes and edits content for the internal news blog, and she has been holding seminars to teach protesters how to write like journalists. Journalism is a trade, she reasons. It can be learned.
She shows me the edits she made to a writers story about a recent march, complete with explanations about the changes made. She cut negative adverbs that described police actions, and she has asked writers to add more specifics, like: How many people were there?
She also has cut the last line of the story, in which the writer offered his negative opinion of Mayor Meninos behavior; she says she couldnt include it without giving the mayors spokesperson an opportunity to comment.
In a separate browser window, Fail uploads videos to YouTube, which include protester accounts of what interviewees described as police brutality during October arrests.
Then, Fail shows me a clip of a police officer next to a man dressed in civilian clothes. In
the clip, the two men dont look at each other, but they share a laugh.
A man long familiar with life on the street
Bagen, 35, watches the video clip, and chimes in: That guy tried to buy coke from me.
Hes referring to the man who stands next to the police officer.
Bagen says the man approached him looking for drugs, to which Bagen replied he had none. He and Fail speculate as to whether hes an undercover cop.
Bagen acknowledges hes done time in jail for drug possession. But for most of the last 15 years, he has simply been homeless. He says he knows many of Bostons police officers. Theyve gotten used to moving him along from storefront to storefront when they get calls about a panhandler outside local businesses.
Though hes had his run-ins for years with the police, hes more forgiving than other protesters in talking about them.
Theyre just doing their job, he says.
Bagen says police get frustrated with the homeless because they ask them to move away from one business, only to find them outside another. But homeless people dont have anywhere else to go, Bagen says. Shelters make people leave during the day, and at night, he says, many are dangerous places, riddled with drugs not a good situation for those trying to beat a drug habit.
Its now nearly 2 a.m. and the cold is starting to get to me (temperatures dipped to the low 40s in the early hours of Oct. 24). Fail offers me her space blanket, a plastic sheet coated with metal that reflects heat its warmer than it sounds. Bagen says the coldest hours will arrive between 3:30 and 6 a.m..
What do you do when it gets colder than this? I ask.
Just keep moving, he says.
Bagen is full of information. The longer I stay at the media table, the more I learn about life on the streets and the perils of homelessness.
Before Occupys encampment, he says he slept in the streets, in public garages and, once, in an elevator shaft, inches from the wires.
Bagen knows the length of jail sentences for most crimes. He says its not common for homeless people to break the law just to land them somewhere warm with three meals a day for the duration of winter.
Despite my status as a private college student, whose mother co-signs her loans and pays her ridiculously pricey rent, Bagen never treats me with any sense of resentment.
He has few material possessions and no permanent residence. Yet his concern is often for others. He tells me the story of a local homeless woman, whose father allegedly sold her to men from the age of 5 upward.
People think shes just crazy, but she needs help, Bagen says, a sadness in his eyes. No one will help this woman.
At about 2 a.m., an hour after the public South Station bathrooms have closed for the night, he offers to walk me to the stations bus terminal entrance, which he says is still open.
Bagens anger is mostly about the shelter system and the struggles he says hes had getting a roof over his head. He tells the story of waiting for a room through the subsidized single room occupancy program with the Cambridge Housing Authority. He says he was getting close to the top of the list when someone in the office told him there was a problem with his application. He says he never found out why.
Bagen arrived at Dewey Square just two days before I met him. He says hes planning to stay awhile. In a sense, he pays rent by supporting the movement.
Day two, and Im already marching up front and holding signs, he says, laughing.
Fail estimates that 40 percent of those encamped at Dewey Square are homeless. Bagen says he doubts the number is that high. But the homeless clearly are a growing part of the permanent encampment.
Around 3 a.m., Fail and Bagen head to the tents theyll be staying in for the night. Like many living at Dewey Square, they stay wherever theres a space. Recently, organizers set up an Adopt a Camper program, where tent owners with extra room can volunteer to invite a newcomer into their canvas homes for the night.
Over the course of the night, several occupiers offer to give me a spot in a tent so that I can get some rest. I elect to stay awake and keep moving to stay warm.
As the camp settles in quiet and darkness with even the neon-vested security team nowhere to be found Im grateful that my boyfriend convinced me to let him come along.
The wee hours
Around 3:15 a.m., I finally make the trek over to the bus station terminal bathroom that Bagen had told me about. Sure enough, the entrance is open but I need permission to move past the lobby, which is patrolled by a security guard overnight. I ask her if I can quickly use the bathroom.
Just dont paint on the walls, she says.
When I return, a couple of protesters are still awake, chatting at the media table. But it appears nearly everyone who wants to rest has found a tent to sleep in for the night, although a few lay bundled up on benches along Gandhi Street.
Just after 7 a.m., the center of tent city sleeps as the sun rises. The Boston Police presence has grown from one officer to four.
Along Weirdo Street, a handful of people unzip and emerge from their canvas homes, likely stirred by cars whizzing bymany of them honking as they pass.
Men in suits and women in pencil skirts speed-walk past the encampment and into surrounding buildings. Its Monday, the first day of another week at work.
It will be a few hours before the whole tent city is up and running again, another day of leaderless protest. On the docket: OccuPoetry on the plaza at 2:30 p.m. and members of the Occupy Somerville movement to speak at 7.

At about 11 inches long and nearly 6 inches wide, the lungs together weigh only about two pounds. They contain about 1 1/2 gallons of air.
The inside of your lungs is covered with 300 to 600 million tissue-thin sacks called alveoli. Stretched out flat, the alveoli would cover a tennis court.
Each day, the average adult inhales about 4,250 gallons of air, containing about 40 billion trillion molecules of oxygen. Along with it comes about 20 billion particles of dirt and other foreign matter.
When you cough, the air rushing out of your lungs hits speeds of 75 to 100 miles per hour.

The company responsible for setting up for the massive event says it takes some 200-400 people to get the expo up and ready to go.
Mike Lamoreaux, Freeman's General Manager told ABC 4 Utah, "This is the larger of the two and probably the largest even the Salt Palace holds."
The event is so large the exhibits won't just be inside the Salt Palace, large tents have also been set up in a parking lot to the north of the building to hold extra exhibitors. In fact, the company responsible for putting on the expo tells me they've absolutely run out of room not only at the Salt Palace, but there's also no hotel space
Outdoor Retailers is committed to Salt Lake City through 2016, but after that if there's no additional hotel space they're going to be looking at other cities to host the event. Potential sites include Denver, Anaheim, Las Vegas, and Orlando, but most exhibitors we spoke to last year say they want to stay here.
Stansport Exhibitor Randy George told ABC 4 Utah, "I don't know anyone on the floor that doesn't enjoy coming to Salt Lake. We'd hate to see it go."

TALLAHASSEE -- Rick Scott casts himself as a problem solver, but after two years as governor of Florida, his biggest challenge remains unsolved: Himself.
Midway through a four-year term, a time when governors traditionally take stock of their highs and lows, Scott remains a polarizing figure, a leader whos still awkwardly learning the ropes.
Once the toast of the tea party, Scott now must work to expand his political base as he seeks a new term in 2014.
Slow to grasp the states shifting political dynamics, he has made course corrections on issues such as immigration, education, healthcare and early voting.
Sued repeatedly over his policies, Scott has been cast by Democrats as a coldhearted, payroll-slashing Pink Slip Rick, ridiculed on cable TV for insulting the king of Spain and parodied for pushing drug-testing of state workers. The Daily Shows Aasif Mandvi once tried to goad Scott into giving a urine sample on TV.
You only get one chance to make a first impression, said Republican strategist-lobbyist J.M. Mac Stipanovich.
When you get on the wrong side of the Jon Stewarts of the world, its a long way back. People formed an opinion early and havent seen a reason to change it.
But signs of improvement under Scott are evident. Floridas unemployment rate has dropped three percentage points with an infusion of new jobs, state debt is at its lowest level in decades, population growth has recovered and the revenue outlook is brightening after years of multibillion-dollar shortfalls.
Were heading in the right direction, Scott said in a year-end interview with the Herald/Times. Weve just got to keep it up every day.
Some positives
Scott has pushed for more transparency in government, become more accessible and reshuffled his staff. Last week, for the first time, the Republican governor held office hours, appearing in rustic Wauchula, in an effort to connect with real people.
But polls show he remains unpopular with no hint of improvement, a red flag that the publics negative view is unyielding. If Scott is going to improve his standing with Floridians, its now or never.
Back in August of 2010, candidate Rick Scott stood on stage at a St. Augustine park as the brilliant sun reflected off his shiny pate.
You are changing the country! Scott told thousands of tea party activists. The establishment does not control our elections any longer.
In his stump speech, Scott cast government as a job-killer, all of it the work of President Barack Obama.
Everything Obama is doing is killing our jobs, Scott told the cheering crowd.
Scott, who built Columbia/HCA into the nations largest for-profit hospital chain, defeated the GOP establishment that shunned him. Spending more than $73 million of his fortune, he dominated the airwaves with a disciplined message of 700,000 new jobs over seven years.
It worked against two uninspiring rivals Bill McCollum in the Republican primary and Democrat Alex Sink in November in a year when Obamas popularity in Florida was at an all-time low.
In business, thats what you call a hostile takeover, said Senate President Don Gaetz, R-Niceville, a Scott admirer.
But it was not without a cost. McCollums and Sinks hard-hitting TV ads, emphasizing record Medicare fraud fines against Scotts company, left a mark, portraying Scott as a crook who couldnt be trusted.

Childcare, education, working conditions, healthcare, crime … these issues are hotly debated in today's society. They are also issues that Robert Owen, seen by some as a visionary and by others as a knave and a charlatan, sought to address in the early 1800s. This unit uses a series of essays written by Owen to explore the ideas of this important and controversial figure.
By the end of this unit you should be able to understand:
- the Enlightenment ideas that underpinned Robert Owen's social reform agenda;
- how Owen's background and experience at New Lanark fed through into his thinking in the essays in A New View of Society;
- the main proposals in the essays;
- New Lanark's role as a model for social reform during this period.

Robert Owen and New Lanark
Robert Owen (1771–1858) (see Figure 1) was one of the most important and controversial figures of his generation. He lived through the ages of Enlightenment and Romanticism and was personally touched by the ideas and dramatic changes that characterised that era. Profiting enormously during the first half of his life from the progress of industry and having the financial means, he later devoted himself to publicising and practising his social and economic ideas. Most of these derived from Enlightenment notions and, he thought, could eliminate poverty and crime, contributing to social and moral betterment.
This unit is an adapted extract from the Open University course From Enlightenment to Romanticism c.1780-1830 (A207). [Tip: hold Ctrl and click a link to open it in a new tab. (Hide tip)]

enJOY the Journey
Like, the fact that I got to see a baby elephant at the zoo. Seriously, how many people get to see a baby elephant. How adorable is that tiny giant? I so wanted to take it home with me. Alas, I left her with her mommy.
Or putting a sticker on your toilet lid. I found this sticker at Dollar Tree (I know, big surprise) and just had to have it because it made me laugh so hard. It just so happens that it matches my bathroom decor. It makes me laugh and smile everytime I see it. I mean, it's a sticker for a toilet lid. It made me laugh the hardest when my hubs put the lid down and I heard him from upstairs say, "What the...there's a sticker on the toilet." Good times.
Or when your kid gets creative and takes apart his water gun and his drill so he can combine the two. He ran around with it saying "hoot, hoot!" Luckily, he still has not caught on to the whole gun thing.

We also saw the baby elephant!! Elephants are my favorite, and she was just adorable. Thanks for the reminder to find joy! (I think I'm finding joy in the fact that I didn't have to give birth to a 251 pound baby)

I am laughing because I have the same sticker on my toilet seat in the spare bathroom. They never have the toilet seat cover in stock at Wal-Mart that matches my rugs so when I saw the sticker I grabbed it. Too funny!

With this newly issued outing, he teams with Philadelphia-reared guitarist Aaron Dugan for some zealous episodes containing fun, frolic and masterful invention. They extend the probabilities of standard duo fare via highly rhythmic jaunts and counterbalancing dialogues... In sum, the musicians breakdown a few genres while adhering to customary free-jazz approaches, all executed with clever methodology that aims to excite one's neural senses." - Glenn Astarita, www.ejazznews.com

Blammed! First time I see a video review for a game scoring so low. They must've wanted to really drive it into the ground and dispel any illusion.
Then again, it's pro-Vietnamese (which at least hints at pro-communist) so I could see that reason in an agenda too. When I came to watch though, I thought it was about fighting Americans, but hah, nah, they didn't want to dare that much. The French, everyone is okay about killing them... so it would seem.

Crowding out OpenBSD
Posted Nov 19, 2012 9:03 UTC (Mon) by ortalo (subscriber, #4654) [Link]
BTW, note that C is the primary unifying factor between Linux and the BSDs in fact... and the main difference with the dominant proprietary OSes.

I guess the implication was that C programs always required tweaking to run on platforms other than the ones they had been written on, and Java programs would not. Of course it didn't quite turn out that way in practice-- for example, Hadoop is mostly written in Java, and the process of porting it to Windows is still ongoing.
It's hard to find a free lunch in computing. Even harder to find a type of free lunch that someone else hasn't already spent years looking for.

Given that the bytecode was in fact interpreted by the VM (and later compiled on the fly), the comparison to compiled languages was misdirected: Java had the inconvenience of having to compile and the slowness of interpreted languages, but none of the advantages. It would have been more appropriate to compare with interpreted languages such as Python or Perl, but then Java would have lost big time since VMs were only available for a handful of platforms and the competition can run, unmodified, on tens. Here by "platform" I mean a combination of OS and processor architecture.
Nowadays Java is JITted and fast. But then again so is the humble javascript...

HARDWICK A Vermont police department said an arrest warrant has been issued for a Hardwick bank robbery suspect who is believed to be in Connecticut, where she is also suspected of a number of bank robberies.
Hardwick Police said the warrant for the arrest of 29-year-old Susan Braig was issued Thursday. She has not been taken into custody.
Hardwick Police Chief Aaron Cochran says Braig is suspected of robbing the Union Bank, on Route 15 last Sept. 6.
Cochran said he was contacted by the Connecticut State Police in January. A subsequent investigation led to the issuing of the Vermont arrest warrant.
Cochran said Braig lived for a time in Winooski, but she now lives in Connecticut. He did not know her hometown.MORE IN This Just InMore debate over new town office/gym.
