This classic line has a little bit of everything: blue-collar puff-n-grunt crack climbing, delicate face climbing, and great exposure! All three pitches are stellar! P1: (5.8++, 120') Start on top of a large boulder and climb the vertical crack system until it ends at a bolted belay. P2: (5.8, 50') Climb the delicate face past 3 bolts to the horizontal crack and build an anchor. The next pitch starts 15' right, so build your anchor accordingly. P3: (5.8, 130') Climb far right weakness. Make a couple strenuous moves to get established on the upper face and follow weaknesses to the summit. Renn Fenton contemplated this stunning line for years before he went for it. He knew he would be alright if he could just get to the face climbing, but was unsure if he could climb the cracks that guard it. On the FA, no bolts were placed on the second pitch, making it yet another impressive lead in Needles history! Bravo, Renn and Don!
Start at the downhill end of the gully between Outer Outlet and Rhinoceros Rock. The gully has a chock stone the size of a house suspended between the two formations. Start on top of the largest boulder at the base of a vertical crack system on the W edge. Refer to the map on the Outer Outlet page for route location. One double rope rappel off the SE side will get you down.
Nuts and a single set of cams from micro to 3" with doubles from BD .75 to 2. Long slings reduce rope drag on p1 and 3.
That second pitch, which I don't think is anywhere near 5.8, was done without bolts for years and years. No bolts at the first belay either.
What about the two bolts on pitch 3? Were they added? I recently did the whole route with a friend without clipping any of the bolts but did use the bolted anchor. I thought 5.8 was a very fair grade for pitch 2 as did my partner. It is possible that the line of retro bolts on pitch 2 didn't follow the original route. Things to me looked a bit larger farther left. But since I was unsure of the route's path I followed the bolts without clipping them.
I heard about the bolts you're talking about Tater Tot. My understanding is that they protect a new line above the West Butt route. When I climbed the route, there were no bolts on the first or second pitch, and as rgold says, it was quite a bit easier than 5.8, just a wee bit runout ;-)
Hmm, interesting.. Sounds like it may be appropriate to change the name of this page to West Buttress Variation? Does anyone else have more info?
Tater Tot, there were no bolts on pitch 3 either. I don't remember anything that shouldn't have been reasonable without bolts for a 5.8 climber. As for pitch 2, my guess is that it went further left as you suggested, since without bolts one would obviously choose the most reasonable line. I do remember diagonalling left from the P1 belay and wandering a bit, but can't at this point, more than 45 years later, remember the exact line we took. It was definitely low fifth-class and totally appropriate to leave unbolted for 5.8 climbers. It sounds as if the bolted way deserves to be called a variation, and if it is 5.8 (and if Needle's standards were respected by drilling on the lead), it would make for a more uniformly difficult route that would become even more of a classic than the original.

Customizing SMF > Joomla Bridge Support
SMF 1.1.5 and Joomla 1.5.3 + ssi_login
Mr. Jinx:
I'm using the php function "ssi_login" on one of my pages in joomla.
This seems to work, however the URL redirect feature just doesn't work!
For example, I include this code in joomla:
--- Code: ---require_once("/path/SSI.php");
--- End code ---
There are many ways to do this: a custom module / in your template / using a php-code module like 'Jumi'. You can login just fine, but you will be directed to the forum, not the specified url.
Somehow it must loose the variable '$_SESSION['login_url']. This is where the redirection url is stored, but once you are logged in, it must be gone or something.
Any other ways to solve this?
Mr. Jinx:
I found a solution for my previous question by adding:
--- Code: ---$_SESSION['login_url']=$scripturl;
--- End code ---
To Boardindex.template.php, just under de global section.
However, now that I've upgraded to SMF 2.0 RC1.2 the problem is back :(
If I test the ssi_login redirection function by editting 'ssi_examples.php' it works just fine.
I just can't get it to work from within a joomla module. It will always lose the login_url variable.
Can someone help me with this one?
Mr. Jinx:

Every day psychiatrists are called on to handle one of the most vexing problems in mental health: hot aggression. This impulsive, volatile behavior extends across many forms of mental illness, sending kids with autism or attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder into rages and contributing to crimes by people with undiagnosed mood disorders.
Surprisingly, the Food and Drug Administration's approved medicine cabinet contains nothing for treating aggression. So dozens of psychiatrists recently laid out a strong case for drug development, telling FDA officials that practitioners need medicines specifically designed for hotheadedness. "We need to view aggression as a common symptom, like fever," says Peter Jensen, director of the Center for the Advancement of Children's Mental Health at Columbia University. "It's what gets kids hospitalized or placed in [supervised] residences or lands them in the juvenile justice system."
Unlike the focused heat of a football player, say, hot aggression is impulsive and reactive. And whereas normal aggression is part of nature, Jensen says, hot aggression leads to wanton violence, such as barroom brawls and domestic violence. It differs, too, from the "cool" aggression psychopaths use to commit calculated crimes. It appears that different brain systems are involved.
Without dedicated drugs, doctors sometimes resort to off-label practice--prescribing a medication approved for a different ailment. One resort is lithium, a common treatment for bipolar illness (alternating bouts of mania and depression). Another is Risperdal, used for schizophrenia. But many such compounds have not been tested for aggression in clinical trials, and most seem ineffective.
Complicating matters is that the source of hot aggression is rarely diagnosed. This became clear to two doctors at Case Western Reserve University, Joseph Calabrese and Omar Elhaj, who recently screened 526 inmates in the Ottawa County Jail in Ohio for mood disorders. Of 165 subjects, 55 were diagnosed with bipolar disorder, 21 with major depression and seven with schizophrenia. Almost 80 percent of the total had no idea that they suffered from a diagnosable mental illness.
"These guys seem to get into trouble during manic episodes," Calabrese says. "And they are the frequent fliers of the penal system." The next step will be a treatment study to see if certain medications help to reduce the problematic impulses.
This article was originally published with the title Cooling Hot Aggression.

Normally I'd be happy with a point on the road against the Stars, but not today. While there were a number of defensive lapses (see my rant on Skoula below), the Wild got screwed by the Dallas video judges. You see, the Wild appeared to score on a Mark Parrish shot five minutes into the 3rd period. Turco actually made a remarkable save, but the replays showed the puck got past the red line. No review was called for and the game went on.
After the game NHL Executive Colin Campbell wrote "We certainly need a discussion with the review people. It should have been reviewed." From NHL Senior Vice President Mike Murphy: "This puck appears to be over the goal line, however we were not notified before the puck was dropped to resume play." Clearly a home town advantage for the Stars.
This shouldn't take away from the fact that Martin Skoula cost the team a point. With less than five minutes remaining in the game he coughed up the puck to Niklas Hagman who passed it to Jussi Jokinen for the game-tying goal. Skoula drew the ire of Lemaire, who said "I have no clue, I don't know what he was doing. I guess he didn't know either." Clearly Skoula should sit a few games to think about this.
Next up the suddenly hot Blackhawks on Tuesday. Roy out.

Fun game--I even want to play it!
By J & K's mom
from North Carolina
I did a lot of research on which one of these type toys to have my mother-in-law get my son for Christmas. I chose the mobigo because of the keyboard and the fact that this was the one my son always went to when we were in that aisle of a store. I made the right choice. This Mickey game is his favorite. You can fly Mickey in a plane, have him jump on a pogo stick and zoom on a scooter while learning all sorts of other skills! My son plays it every morning on the way to preschool. I highly recommend it as a great way to entertain your child while also teaching them basic math skills, cause and effect, patterns and fine motor skills. This morning I heard my son saying "c'mon I need to get another heart!" to his mobigo--he was really into his game! The only negative is that there is no internal storage for the downloadable games but you can buy a storage cartridge from vtech so you don't loose them everytime.
Great learning toy

Good Morning!
I cloned my existing W7 (64 bits HP) onto a 320 GB XT, in my desktop. After that I did the AHCI tweak on the registry and changed the BIOS to AHCI mode. Nevertheless, the PC will not boot in this situation, but only with "Native IDE" in the BIOS.
My question is: How important is AHCI really for the performance of the XT? In other words: Is AHCI absolutely essential or does the XT also work satisfactorily in "Native IDE" mode? Or MUST I do a virgin W7 installation??
Thanks in advance :-) Henk
This must be a very difficult question :-) Anyway, the XT seems to work fine and I don't need hot-swapping.
Cheers! Henk (retired in Belgium)
06-19-2011 02:11 AM - edited 06-19-2011 02:12 AM
You need AHCI mode to get the NCQ activated.
Highly recommend to change to AHCI if possible, and I beleive there are walk-around to change to AHCI mode without re-install the OS.
PS. NCQ stands for Native Command Queuing
OK, I know. Let's rephrase the question: Hom much faster does NCQ make my system in practice?
Ciao, Henk

Superior live sound has never been easier.
New TriAxial Dynamic Technology allows the LR Baggs M1 Soundhole Pickup to respond to the guitar's string and body vibrations, redefining what is possible from a soundhole pickup.
The L.R. Baggs M-1 is a humbucking pickup with a twist. In a common stacked humbucker, the second, lower coil cancels hum, but doesn't contribute anything positive to the sound. In fact, it can muddy the sound of the main coil. The M1 unlocks the second coil. This allows it to make a positive sonic contribution while maintaining the pure open sound of a single coil -- but without the hum.
The hum-canceling coil is suspended under the main coil by a tuned support that allows it to move in 3 dimensions. The primary coil moves with the guitar top and creates a body signal in the suspended secondary coil. This brings the M1 to life, with string and body sound all in one. It's like having a dual pickup system in your soundhole. The support is carefully tuned to control motion in all 3 dimensions. This allows you to selectively add the presence and realism from the body signal while suppressing runaway feedback.
Gold-plated 1/8" jack. The L.R. Baggs M1 Pickup includes a prewired strapjack harness and a 12' Mogami audiophile-grade cable.

text: The Super Meat Boy wiki last edited by ReverendHunt on 08/05/13 10:57AM View full history OverviewThe poster included within the 'Ultra Edition'.Super Meat Boy is a downloadable 2D platformer developed and published by Team Meat for the Xbox Live Arcade , PC and Mac. The game follows Meat Boy, a cube of meat with great skill in jumping, as he attempts to rescue his girlfriend Bandage Girl from the menacing Dr. Fetus while avoiding sawblades, piles of salt, lava, missiles, and other deadly obstacles. The Xbox release, as part of Microsoft's Game Feast 2010 promotion, was sold for 800 Microsoft Points ($10) until November 21, 2010, when the price was cruelly raised to 1200 Microsoft Points ($15). The PC version was first released via Steam on November 30, 2010 for the same price. The PC level editor, PC level portal, PC non-Steam version, and Mac version of Super Meat Boy came out in 2011. The game was originally going to be released on Nintendo's WiiWare service, but was later cancelled due to their small file size restrictions.Like Alien Hominid, the concept for Super Meat Boy began as a free online game made in Adobe Flash for Newgrounds. The game, originally called Meat Boy, was released on October 5, 2008, and a map pack featuring custom levels was soon followed two months later. Super Meat Boy features homages to other games and movies in Newgrounds, as well as other video games and Internet culture such as unlockable characters from other indie games (Including N, Aquaria, VVVVVV, I Wanna Be The Guy, Braid, and Flywrench).The XBLA version of Super Meat Boy includes 12 achievements (worth 200 gamerscore) and two avatar awards: a t-shirt resembling Meat Boy (unlocked after a certain number of deaths) and a prop of Meat Boy running around the avatar (unlocked after completing the game). The Steam version of Super Meat Boy includes 41 achievements, adding new ones such as clearing all the levels in each world (Light World or Dark World) consecutively without dying, clearing bonus levels, and unlocking new characters.The game is not without its issues; glitches pop up on both the Steam and XBLA versions. The PC version suffers from the occasional crash, but the XBLA version has a "save glitch", which causes Super Meat Boy to lose the ability to auto-save after every completed level. Since manually saving is not an option, players are forced to quit to the dashboard and restart the game. Collected bandages will also fail to display on the map screen, and as such can be collected over and over again with each level replay. This allows for faulty completion rates of over 100% as the bandage counter exceeds its maximum of 20 per world. Team Meat has claimed that a patch is finished but has yet to come out due to Microsoft's terrible approval process.DevelopmentIn Indie Game: The Movie, Team Meat's progress was covered in great lengths. McMillen and Refenes were very interested in creating a game that reflected a part of themselves and were striving to make a game that could be a success without compromising their visions. Super Meat Boy was in development for eighteen months. A month prior to it's release, the team was offered a feature on the Xbox Live Dashboard despite the project being far from done. Facing financial struggle and left with almost no options, McMillen and Refenes spent the last month crunching to meet the deadline. In spite of their feature being absent for the first eight hours of release day, Super Meat Boy was able to sell 20,000 copies by the end of the day. It was announced that in April 2011 more than 600.000 copies were sold through Xbox Live and Steam. Steam was responsible for 400.000 copies. In January 2012, Super Meat Boy had sold over 1,000,000 copies across all platforms. At the Indie Game: The Movie premiere, Team Meat announced that they have moved on from Super Meat Boy and are currently working another project.GameplayThe objective of Super Meat Boy is to guide Meat Boy (or one of the other playable characters) past deadly obstacles to reach Bandage Girl, who will be promptly kidnapped by Dr. Fetus. Navigation of these obstacles requires extremely precise timing to pass. Failure means instant death and a quick restart from the beginning of the level. The player is given an infinite amount of lives and near-instantaneous respawns, but Meat Boy leaves a trail of blood to mark where he has been and what obstacles previously killed him. When a regular level is completed, a replay showcases every attempt within the level simultaneously.Characters have two abilities at their disposal: a jump button and an ability button. For Meat Boy (and most other characters), pressing the ability button engages sprinting. Some characters sprint automatically and replace the ability button with another power, such as Tim's ability to rewind time or Viridian's ability to inverse his own personal gravity. To keep the difficulty in check, the game features extremely precise controls. Quickly tapping the jump button performs a small hop, while holding down the jump button performs a tall leap. Players can also stick to the wall (which may either slow their descent or slightly continue their ascent) and press the jump button again for a wall jump. Some unlockable characters have special jumping abilities, such as the Kid's ability to double jump and Jill's ability to stall her descent.Over the course of the game, new mechanics are introduced and obstacles become more complex. These include rising tides of lava, portals, magnetic fields, fans, lava rocks, and eventually enemies that hunt down the player character. All obstacles will result in instantaneous death upon contact. The "bosses" in the games are equally indestructible, and instead of actually fighting them, these levels require players to navigate difficult puzzles under time restraints until a cutscene is triggered.Players can also collect bandages scattered around certain levels to unlock characters and certain levels. In order for the player to keep Bandages, they must collect them and successfully reach the exit in one attempt. Some bandages require specific characters and all are difficult to collect, especially in purple WARP ZONEs, where players must not only collect the Bandage, but clear each of the three levels with a limited number of lives.LevelsSuper Meat Boy features five main worlds, each with forty regular levels. The initial twenty levels are referred to as the "Light World". If the player is able to clear a "Light World" level under its par time, they will be able to access the "Dark World" counterpart (which shares the same basic geometry, but has a different appearance and increased difficulty). Each Light World version of the five main worlds also include a boss level, which must be completed in order to progress to the next world. Boss levels are unlocked after the player beats 17 out of the 20 Light World levels.Meat Boy entering a Warp Zone. Along the way, players can also find purple Warp Zones within certain levels. These portals vanish after a set period of time during the level attempt, though reaching these portals makes the Warp Zone available in the level selection screen. Entering a Warp Zone will transport Meat Boy (regardless of which character reaches the warp zone) to a retro-themed zone which is notably difficult. Each zone comes with three levels that must be completed consecutively with a special version of Meat Boy. Bandages are found within these warp zones, but the player will only have three attempts per level to collect them and clear the Warp Zone. If Meat Boy dies during the final attempt at any level, all bandages found during the Warp Zone attempt will be reset, and the player will be kicked back to the level selection screen. Replays and par times are unavailable for Warp Zones.Red Warp Zones function similarly to purple Warp Zones but are played instead with a secret character . There are no bandages in red warp zones but there are also unlimited lives. There are only five red warp zones, one in each of the main Light Worlds. Each main world also has a special " glitch zone", reached by getting to Bandage Girl while she is in a randomly occurring "glitch state". Glitch zones feature no bandages and only one level, which is typically longer and more difficult than any of the world's Warp Zones.Chapter 1: The ForestIntro Cutscene Tribute: Street Fighter II: The World WarriorBoss: Lil' Slugger (giant walking chainsaw driven by Dr. Fetus)The Forest introduces buzzsaws, static sawblade launchers, and impassable tiles that crumble away soon after the player touches it.Chapter 2: The HospitalIntro Cutscene Tribute: CastlevaniaBoss: C.H.A.D. (mutated living abomination of blood and tissue)The Hospital introduces fans, crawling slimes that stick to surfaces, floating enemies that bounce around aimlessly, piles of deadly needles, keys that unlock certain tiles, and timed laser beams.Chapter 3: The Salt FactoryIntro Cutscene Tribute: The Adventures of LoloBoss: BrownieThe Salt Factory introduces harmful salt, homing missile launchers, moving platforms, tiles that only crumble away after coming in to contact with a missile, and high-speed conveyor belts.Chapter 4: HellIntro Cutscene Tribute: Ninja GaidenBoss: Little Horn (monster created by dead Meat Boy corpses)Hell introduces lava pits (that sometimes rise), moving lava rocks, portals, rotating eyes that slowly lock on to the player while shooting laser beams, and demon homing missiles that split in to separate small missiles on impact.Chapter 5: RaptureIntro Cutscene Tribute: Mega Man 2Boss: Larrie's Lament (a group of enormous carnivorous worms)Rapture introduces orbs that repulse the player, abominations (both running and flying) that head towards the player, and homing sawblade launchers.Chapter 6: The EndIntro Cutscene Tribute: Pokémon Red/BlueBoss: Dr. FetusUnlocked after completing Chapter 5, The End includes five regular levels (with both Light World and Dark World variations) that can only be played by Meat Boy and are designed to test the player's mastery of previous concepts. After completing all five levels, the player can face Dr. Fetus in a boss level. The boss level is divided in to two parts, featuring a halfway checkpoint and a Dark World variant unlocked after completing 85 Dark World levels.Chapter 7: Cotton AlleyIntro Cutscene Tribute: Ghosts 'N GoblinsUnlocked after completing Chapter 6, Cotton Alley is a special 40-level world that can only be played by Bandage Girl (who is, ironically, rescuing Meat Boy from Dr. Fetus). Despite the pink and cheery atmosphere, the levels are extremely difficult. There are no bandages in this world; the obstacles are mainly limited to giant buzzsaws.TEH INTERNETS (Xbox 360) / Super Meat World (PC/Mac)Intro Cutscene Tribute: Bubble BobbleUnlocked after collecting 20 Bandages, TEH INTERNETS is a special chapter that provides downloadable chapters. All past and future chapters will be free in the Xbox 360 version, due to Team Meat's method of uploading the content in space reserved for free title updates. (Which bypasses Microsoft's normal method of distribution in their marketplace, which would cost either Team Meat or the end user money) All chapters will also be free for the PC and Mac versions.As of 1st April 2011, Super Meat World is released on the PC version, along with eight chapters of levels. It is also unlocked after collecting 20 Bandages. The level editor is still unavailable, and should be included in the next update.Each downloadable chapter contains 20 retro- themed levels (with par times to beat) and its own leaderboards separate from the main game. Chapters consist of either a mix of developer favorites (from user-generated maps on the PC level editor or from the original flash game), levels designed exclusively for certain characters, and other levels.Released TEH INTERNETS ChaptersThe Butcher Boy (by Team Meat, released 10/20/2010) - 8-bit Meat Boy only.

Faced with the choice between job layoffs or a second round of unpaid furloughs for employees, executives at the financially troubled Gannett Co. announced today they were selecting the latter course.
Gannett, the parent firm of The Cincinnati Enquirer, announced a furlough program that will require most non-unionized workers to take at least five days of unpaid leave sometime in April, May or June. The move is expected to save the company about $20 million.
The Cincinnati Enquirer and its parent company Gannett went through another string of layoffs today, including the reported closing of the newspaper's Kentucky office.
[CityBeat followed up on this story on Aug. 2 here.]
Jim Romenesko reported on his journalism industry blog that there were layoffs at The Kentucky Enquirer, the Kentucky edition of the local newspaper. One commenter on Gannett Blog echoed the report, saying the Kentucky offices had been closed down and moved to Cincinnati.
Gannett Blog reports 11 layoffs at Cincinnati branches, including the Community Press and Community Recorder. That coincides with more than 150 layoffs at newspapers around the country, according to the blog.
Because of Gannett's secrecy with staffing issues, it's difficult to confirm any specific report. No names have been provided yet.
CityBeat was tipped off about the layoffs earlier in the day by a source close to The Enquirer.
A spokesperson wasn't available for questions about the layoffs, but Jeremy Gaines, vice president of communications at Gannett, told Romenesko, "Some USCP (U.S. Community Publishing) sites are making cuts to align their business plans with local market conditions."
Gannett CEO Gracia Martore proudly claimed on July 22, "We are accelerating our transformation into the 'New Gannett' every day."
As expected, the ax fell quickly at The Cincinnati Enquirer this week as its parent company demands mass layoffs before year's end.
Although it's moving staff out of its offices in Kentucky, The Cincinnati Enquirer intends to continue publishing a daily Kentucky edition with unique content for Northern Kentucky.
Editor Steve Wilson was among those laid off from The Kentucky Enquirer yesterday. He will remain at the newspaper for four weeks, along with several colleagues who were also laid off.
Wilson told CityBeat that The Enquirer isn't backing away from its commitment to northern Kentucky, but acknowledges problems posed by the layoffs.
"Clearly, all things being equal, you want to have reporters based in the area they're covering. That just makes sense. Everybody would agree with that," Wilson says. "But in this case, they apparently had their reasons that made sense to them."
Wilson won't speculate on the reasons, but he cites cost
concerns as an ongoing problem. "Gannett, like most companies, is very
bottom-line-driven, and they had to do something to reduce expenses," he
says, pointing to the continuing trend of downsizing in the news industry.
Following the demise of The Cincinnati Post in 2007, The Cincinnati Enquirer and its Kentucky edition made strides to appeal to northern Kentucky readers. One example: The newspaper stopped referring to the region as "Greater Cincinnati," instead adopting "Greater Cincinnati and northern Kentucky" — a lede-unfriendly moniker that was meant to show The Enquirer was serious about reaching out.
But a source close to The Enquirer who asked to remain anonymous questioned the success of those efforts, given yesterday's layoffs.
Gannett Blog claims 23 people were laid off at Enquirer offices, but it's difficult to confirm the report because of Gannett's secrecy with staffing issues. More than 400 people lost their jobs at Gannett newspapers around the nation, according to the blog.
Based on information gathered so far, the local layoffs span through the Cincinnati and Kentucky versions of The Enquirer, Community Press and Community Recorder.
A source close to the situation told CityBeat that eight reporters, two editors and one photographer are moving from the Kentucky offices to downtown Cincinnati, with the remaining Kentucky staff members laid off. Staff members were also moved from the newspaper's West Chester office, which covered Butler and Warren counties.
Original reports claimed the Kentucky and West Chester offices were closing, but they will apparently remain open for reporters in a limited capacity.
The source gave the names of five people who were laid off: Wilson; Bill Cieslewicz, a mid-level editor; Jackie Demaline, theatre critic and arts writer; Paul McKibben, breaking news reporter; and Ealer Wadlington, listing coordinator.
When asked about the layoffs, Gannett spokesperson Jeremy Gaines told journalism industry blogger Jim Romenesko, "Some USCP (U.S. Community Publishing) sites are making cuts to align their business plans with local market conditions."
The nationwide layoffs come a couple weeks after Gannett CEO Gracia Martore proudly claimed on July 22, "We are accelerating our transformation into the 'New Gannett' every day."
Updated on Nov. 4 at 12:03 p.m.: Added final layoff numbers from Gannett Blog.
Updated on Aug. 6 at 11:13 a.m.: Added the latest layoff numbers from Gannett Blog.
Updated on Aug. 6 at 10:47 a.m.: Reports now say that The Enquirer will keep its Kentucky and West Chester offices open in a limited capacity. The story was updated to reflect the latest news.
CityBeat has held off on posting the names of some people we've heard have been laid off from The Cincinnati Enquirer pending better verification, but we can now confirm two more departures.
Assistant Business Editor Randy Tucker and Obituaries Writer Rebecca Goodman have left the newspaper's staff. Tucker was a victim of the layoffs; it's unclear whether Goodman was laid off or chose to leave since she recently graduated from law school.
The bloodletting in the newsroom at The Enquirer is over, at least for now.
Editor Carolyn Washburn sent an email to the newspaper's editorial staff this morning, announcing the names of 12 people who have decided to accept a voluntary "early retirement" severance deal offered by The Enquirer's parent firm, The Gannett Co.
CityBeat already has reported that political columnist Howard Wilkinson, longtime photographer Michael Keating and Editorial Page Editor Ray Cooklis were among those departing the media company.
Other editorial staffers who are taking the buyout are business reporter Mike Boyer; Features Editor Dave Caudill; news reporter Steve Kemme; Copy Desk Chief Sue Lancaster; Production Manager Greg Noble; Butler/Warren Editor Jim Rohrer; sports copy editor Bill Thompson; Copy Editor Pat Tolzmann; and Copy Editor Tim Vonderbrink.
They join Assistant Managing Editor/Sports Barry Forbis and Deputy Sports Editor Rory Glynn, who announced their resignations in March.
In her email, Washburn wrote that the company will throw a party in its conference room for the departing staffers on April 12.
As one ex-Enquirer reporter said when hearing about the plans, "Some sendoff for those leaving. Washburn is throwing them a 'proper party,' whatever that is, for them on the 20th floor, no doubt in the sterile training room where staffers learn about inane new corporate initiatives. A 'proper party' for the loss of 350-plus years of experience and institutional knowledge would be an employee tavern of choice with an open bar, but what would Washburn know?"
Gannett announced the buyout offer Feb. 9 and gave employees 45 days to decide whether to apply for the deal.
At the close of the offer period, editors reviewed applications and made final decisions; some people who apply for the deal potentially could've been turned down if their position is deemed essential to the newspaper's operation.
Under the deal, newspaper employees who are age 56 or older and have at least 20 years of service with Gannett as of March 31 are eligible. Although executives said 785 employees meet the criteria, the deal only is being offered to 665 employees "due to ongoing operational needs at the company."
As part of reductions mandated by Gannett, The Enquirer has laid off about 150 workers during the past two years. Also, employees have had to take five unpaid furloughs during the past three years.
Gannett recently gave Craig Dubow, its CEO who allegedly left the company due to health reasons, a $37.1 million compensation package. The Columbia Journalism Review examined what Gannett could've bought with that money instead, including paying for the starting salaries of 1,474 staffers at The Indianapolis Star or 310,720 annual subscriptions to The Tallahassee Democrat's website.
Here is the full text of Washburn's email:
From: Washburn, Carolyn
Sent: Wednesday, April 04, 2012 8:39 AM
To: CIN-News Users; ohiodaily
Subject: saying thank you to our new retirees
It's official now. In the next couple of weeks we will say thank you and best wishes to these colleagues who have decided to take the company's early retirement offer. The complete group is, in no particular order:
Dave Caudill, Greg Noble, Jim Rohrer, Sue Lancaster, Pat Tolzmann, Tim Vonderbrink, Bill Thompson, Michael Keating, Mike Boyer, Steve Kemme, Howard Wilkinson, Ray Cooklis
Ray will be here until April 27. Greg's last day in the office was a week or so ago, before a furlough and vacation. Everyone else will have their last day next Thursday, April 12.
We will have a proper party in the 20th floor conference room on April 12 at 4pm.
I'll meet with some small groups in the next few days and we'll have a full staff meeting the week of April 16 to talk about what's next, now that we are confirmed on who chose to retire. There is a plan. :)
We will be very sad to say goodbye. But I am happy for these folks who decided this was the right thing for them.
Thanks again to Dave, Greg, JR, Sue, Pat, Tim, Bill, Michael, Mike, Steve, Howard and Ray.
The Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber embraced the YP concept several years ago in the wake of Richard Florida's "creative class" discussion, which really hit home here because it crystallized the problem Cincinnati and other "uncool" cities face in stemming the brain drain of talented young people leaving to advance their careers elsewhere.
The Chamber created an array of programs to support local young professionals, an effort that certainly came at the behest of Procter & Gamble, Kroger, Macy's and other corporate giants here that must recruit and retain the best and the brightest talent available. Bold Fusion has emerged as one of the Chamber's highest profile efforts.
The sixth annual Bold Fusion conference was held Thursday afternoon at the Westin Hotel downtown, packing the ballroom to its 400-person capacity. It was one of the most interesting and inspiring afternoons I'd spent in a while.

Hi All,
I've just taken delivery of two of these devices to replace the tape backups at work. I specifically bought the 440's because all the websites said that they had full disk encryption. I have looked everywhere in the admin screen and cannot find any option to turn this on. Can I assume that it is on by default and cannot be turned off? We deal with confidential data and need to know that if our building were to be broken into and these devices stolen then the data could never be read without the theives knowing the admin password.
Many Thanks!
I have not seen that feature yet either, and I can only assume it is part of the BlackArmor Backup Software which I have not installed yet. I use Shadow Protect to backup my main workstation, which encrypts the disk images and stores them on the NAS, and restores from the NAS perfectly so far.
I will install the BackArmor backup on my other machines this week to see if thats where the encryption feature is.
I did find this statement in the backup software manual:
(Files/folders encryption is set in Properties -> General -> Advanced Attributes -> Encrypt contents to secure data).
02-22-2010 08:35 PM - edited 02-22-2010 08:40 PM
So thats where the encryption feature is. I found this article in a link that another user made.
We experimented with multiple volumes on the 440 by setting up two RAID 5 arrays that both utilized all four disks; however, we encrypted one of the volumes. The only way to encrypt a volume is to do so when you first create it; so if you want an encrypted volume on the 440, it means that you will have to first delete the preconfigured RAID 5 array. When a volume is encrypted, the encryption key is stored on a user-supplied USB flash drive connected to the device's front-mounted USB port. If the 440 is power-cycled after removing the USB flash drive that contains the encryption key, the data stored on encrypted volume will no longer be accessible until you plug the USB flash drive back in. If you lose the flash drive or its encryption key file is damaged or deleted, you can consider the data stored on the encrypted volume as irrevocably lost. So if you choose to use an encrypted volume, do so wisely and carefully.
This experiment also bore out some additional caveats for us. First of all, it easily took over five hours to create the two volumes. (It took the same amount of time to reset the device back to a single RAID 5 volume using all four drives, when we were done experimenting.) So if you are going to use multiple volumes, be sure to factor in the extra time needed to create the volumes--and those five-plus hours don't even include the time to format the volumes once they are created (which we found could be as much as another hour).
The second issue this brought to light is that the included documentation is significantly lacking. We found much of the documentation to be pretty light when it comes to discussing many of the device's features. In fact, other than mentioning that volume encryption is possible, we couldn't find mention of how to set it up anywhere in the documentation of even via Seagate's online support--we ultimately had to seek guidance from a contact we had at Seagate, who put us in touch with a Seagate tech.
I knew it had to be there somewhere!
See my other forum post here, in case you still haven't gotten encryption working.

Sprains and Strains
- contusions (bruises)
- sprains
- strains
The three ligaments involved in ankles sprains/strains include:
- anterior talofibular ligament
- posterior talofibular ligament
- calcaneofibular ligament
What is a contusion?
A contusion (bruise) is an injury to the soft-tissue often produced by a blunt force such as a kick, fall, or blow. The immediate result will be pain, swelling, and discoloration.What is a sprain?
A sprain is a wrenching or twisting injury or tear to a ligament. Sprains often affect the ankles, knees, or wrists.What is a strain?
A strain is an injury to a muscle or tendon, and is often caused by overuse, force, or stretching.How is a sprain/strain diagnosed?
Your child's physician makes the diagnosis with a physical examination. During the examination, the physician obtains a complete medical history of the child and asks how the injury occurred.Diagnostic procedures may also help evaluate the problem. Diagnostic procedures may include:
- x-rays - a diagnostic test which uses invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones, and organs onto film.
- magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) - a diagnostic procedure that uses a combination of large magnets, radiofrequencies, and a computer to produce detailed images of organs and structures within the body.
- computed tomography scan (Also called a CT or CAT scan.) - a diagnostic imaging procedure that uses a combination of x-rays and computer technology to produce cross-sectional images (often called slices), both horizontally and vertically, of the body. A CT scan shows detailed images of any part of the body, including the bones, muscles, fat, and organs. CT scans are more detailed than general x-rays.
What are the symptoms of a sprain or strain?
The following are the most common symptoms of a sprain or strain. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:- pain in the injured area (The child typically may guard or protect this area from being touched or looked at.)
- swelling in the injured area
- difficulty using or moving the injured area in a normal manner (The child may have limited use or may not use the injured area at all. The child may walk with a limp if the injury occurred in the hip, leg, ankle, or foot area.)
- warmth, bruising, or redness in the injured area
Treatment for sprains or strains:
Specific treatment for a sprain or strain will be determined by your child's physician based on:- your child's age, overall health, and medical history
- extent of the injury
- child's tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
- expectations for the course of the injury
- your opinion or preference
- medications such as ibuprofen
- activity restrictions
- splint/cast
- crutches/wheelchair
- physical therapy (to stretch and strengthen the injured muscles, ligaments, and tendons)
- surgery (especially if the injury is reoccurring or if a muscle, tendon, or ligament is badly torn)
Long-term outlook for a child with a sprain or strain:
Contusions, sprains, or strains heal quite quickly in children. It is important that the child adhere to the activity restrictions and/or stretching and strengthening rehabilitation programs to prevent re-injury.Most sports injuries are due to either traumatic injury or overuse of muscles or joints. Many sports injuries can be prevented with proper conditioning and training, wearing appropriate protective gear, and using proper equipment.

I bought the rug with charcoal grey and a teal blue design. Colors match those seen on the computer, quality is great, LOVE IT in the main room! Constantly get compliments!!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.This rug is gorgeous! True to color from picture online. Plush, needs no rug pad. So glad I decided to order it. Sheds a little, not too bad after a couple times vacuuming. Would recommend!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Absolutely love this rug! It is worth every penney! I bought it when it was on sale for 75% off. So I got it for $136.00 - free shipping - no tax! I wish I had an area in my house to put another one!

As with the Road rug, the color pictured online is quite close to reality which seems to be unusual for rugs...it's just a tad bit darker in real life(compared to my laptop screen at least). Also, as with the Roads rug, I found it to be thicker than it looks in the picture! No rug pad needed, with regards to thickness at least. I have it on hardwood in my dining room, but this would work well on carpet also. Highly recommend it!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Fill out the information below.

I also looked at the photos of C2s in the various Goldberg auctions and have not seen any with clash marks such as these.

FORT WORTH -- The police official in charge of supervising the investigations of alleged wrongdoings by Fort Worth police officers could find himself in the position of being investigated by the members of his department.
Chief of Staff Maj. Paul Henderson, 45, was arrested early Saturday morning on suspicion of driving while intoxicated in Parker County. Henderson is listed as a supervisor over several divisions in the Fort Worth Police Department, including internal affairs, the division assigned to investigate officers accused of unlawful behavior, according to the department's website.In addition to internal affairs, Henderson supervises special investigations, program support, research, grants, public relations, data management and labor issues.On Saturday, Henderson was put on "restricted status" during criminal and administrative investigations into the incident, Police Chief Jeff Halstead said in a prepared statement."I will make immediate changes in his responsibilities to protect the integrity of this process and ensure all projects can continue as planned, ensuring our department remains efficient to our citizens," said Halstead, who promoted Henderson from lieutenant to major in June 2011.Henderson remained free Sunday after posting $1,000 bail, according to Parker County Jail records.He was booked into the jail at 3:06 a.m. Saturday and was released more than six hours later at 9:28 a.m., jail records show.Henderson, who lives in Parker County, was off-duty at the time he was arrested by a Texas Department of Public Safety trooper after the officer saw the Fort Worth police officer make an unsafe lane change near the Interstate 30/20 spilt in Parker County.He was pulled over about 1:46 a.m. just east of Aledo, according to DPS reports.Officers arrested for DWI could face anywhere from a 15-day suspension to termination, according to department policy.On Sunday, DPS trooper Lonny Haschel referred all questions about the arrest to the Parker County district attorney's office. Parker County prosecutors could not be reached Sunday."Once charges are filed, all evidence and reports become part of a criminal investigation which is then in the jurisdiction of the Parker County district attorney's office," Haschel said.In April 2010, Henderson was vocal about the department's frustration after a rash of incidents involving Fort Worth police officers and alcohol."We are absolutely fed up with dealing with this off-duty behavior," he said.Eight months later, despite mandatory alcohol-awareness training for all police employees, two officers were arrested in five days on suspicion of driving while intoxicated.A year later, another officer faced DWI and gun charges.Halstead said Henderson has apologized for the incident. The chief said his statement would be his only comment, citing the ongoing investigation.This report includes material from Star-Telegram archives.Domingo Ramirez Jr.,817-390-7763Twitter: @mingoramirezjrHave more to add?

IRA Rollover
The new law continues the IRA rollover for 2012 and 2013.
This means that if you are 70½ or older, you can make gifts to charity directly from your IRA in 2013. Your gift will help you meet your annual distribuion requirements and you will not have to pay tax on the amount given from your IRA to charity. The new law also means that if you made a gift from your IRA to charity in 2012, that gift is not taxable. If you made a gift like this you may have already saved on taxes without even realizing it!
The new law has a special provision that allows you to make catch-up gifts from your IRA to charity in January 2013.
You can make a catch-up gift by making a gift directly from your IRA to charity in January 2013. Catch-up IRA gifts will be treated as if you made the gift in 2012. If you want to make a catch-up IRA gift, you must hurry. All catch-up gifts must be made by January 31, 2013. The catch-up may actually allow you to double the amount you give to charity from your IRA this year! You may be eligible to make up to a $100,000 gift from your IRA in January. This would count as a 2012 rollover gift. If you made another $100,000 gift from your IRA, that gift would count as a 2013 rollover gift.
The new law also contains special provision that may allow you to convert a taxable distribution from your IRA to a non-taxable distribution.
How does this work? If you took a taxable distribution from our IRA in December 2012, you can avoid taxes on the distribution by making a cash gift to charity in January 2013. Time to convert your 2012 distribution is limited you must make a cash gift to charity in January 2013 to qualify for this special tax treatment. Don't delay! |

Another amazing year
It is hard to believe but in just a few short days we will be closing out yet another year for the College of Nursing. And what a year it has been! We have:
- >moved to our temporary quarters in Harborview Tower,
- >taken on the renovation of our beloved building,
- >robustly expanded our numbers of students, faculty and staff,
- >ranked 21st in NIH funding among Schools of Nursing nationally, and
- >made the top 20 list for online nursing graduate programs in US News & World Report
to mention just a few of our accomplishments. This has been a year of transitions, expansions and demonstrated flexibility for which we can all stand proud!
It also is a time to remember that all of these exciting activities and initiatives are being created by each of you here in the College â faculty, staff and students alike. Each of you contribute your ideas, energy, creativity, insights and enthusiasm that allow us to stretch to new levels of achievement.
And so at this very special time of year I want to thank you, my College of Nursing family, for the many holiday presents that you bestow upon the school all twelve months of the year. And I wish for you the many blessings of the season, the loving embrace of family and friends, and the renewal of body and spirit that I trust will come with the hope of a bright new year.

Because Cleveland Clinic's doctors are paid fixed salaries, there is less incentive to order unnecessary tests or procedures compared to a doctor working on his or her own who receives a bump in their fee.
As of right now, Medicare acts a lot like those traditional hospitals do, Thorpe said. "If you take the typical patient who is chronically ill, they will be overweight or obese, they suffer from bad cholesterol, hypertension, asthma and diabetes -- that means they take 10 to 15 medications and there is no team-based care," he said.
"Going to separate doctors with their own plans is expensive. These integrated group plans work well and the ongoing preventive care they provide -- working with doctors, nutritionists, nurses, nurse practitioners and the rest -- ultimately save on costs."

Further to my last post; I am trying to assemble the frame components of a boat using marine ply components rather than traditional sawn lumber.
My reasoning behind this is to save a bit of time & tooling along with the hassel of having materials sent to the NWT Canada (N of 60).
The plans that I am working from show 7/8" x 2-1/2" sawn oak frames. Can I simply replace these frames with 7/8" marine ply?
What considerations should be made for weight & strength of the plywood vs the oak frames??
Thanks for your thoughts!!
