Colo crouched near a barred gate in the gorilla building at the Columbus zoo, gently tapping her
chest in anticipation of what she knew was coming: birthday gifts and cake. "She currently is the
oldest living gorilla, as far as I know, ever," Lewis Greene told dozens of visitors who helped
Colo celebrate her 56th birthday yesterday.
"She's a mother, a grandmother, a great-grandmother, and a great-great-grandmother," said
Greene, senior vice president of animal care and conservation at the zoo. "I'd like for us to sing
Happy Birthday to Colo."
The visitors obliged: "Happy birthday, dear Colo, happy birthday to you!" The gate opened,
and Colo made a beeline for her presents — tomatoes (her favorite), mandarin oranges, peanuts,
berries and key limes in boxes wrapped with birthday paper.
A tiara cut from a honeydew melon, and a scepter made of carrot and sweet potato topped the
birthday cake to honor Colo as "queen of the Zoo," said Patty Peters, vice president of community
Colo is one of 15 endangered lowland gorillas at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium. She was born
at the zoo on Dec. 22, 1956 — the first gorilla born in captivity.
"Colo is here because somebody decided the rules needed to be broken," Greene said.
That "somebody" was the late Warren Thomas, an Ohio State University veterinary student and
part-time gorilla keeper who put together Colo's parents to mate, even though that was against zoo
At the time, not much was known about baby gorillas, according to a zoo video. Colo started
in a box of rags next to a kitchen heater and graduated to an incubator from Columbus Children's
Hospital. The zoo staff bottle-fed her in a nursery.
At age 6, Colo survived a tuberculosis epidemic at the zoo. And in 1968, at age 12, she gave
birth to Emmy, the first second-generation gorilla born in captivity. Although Colo did not raise
her three offspring, she was foster mother for her grandson, JJ, as part of the zoo's gorilla
surrogacy program.
In 2006, the zoo celebrated Colo's 50th birthday — the equivalent of 100 human years.
Colo is healthy but suffers from a bit of arthritis in her hands and feet, Greene said. That
didn't stop her from picking five numbered onions and one numbered turnip for a $540 million Mega
Millions lottery stake on the Good Morning America television show in March.
Yesterday, John Barnhard was back for the second year in a row to celebrate Colo's birthday. "
I'm a widower, and this is partly how I spend my time," said Barnhard of Columbus, who visits the
zoo once or twice a week.
Sally Gillespie and Jeff Canter of Columbus are frequent Colo visitors.
"I was 56 in May," Gillespie said, explaining some of her kinship with the zoo's reigning
matriarch gorilla. "It's good to see her still in good shape." email@example.com

Gartner blamed the rise of tablets and smartphones, which are sapping demand for personal computers.
Shipments of personal computers have plummeted in spite of Microsoft's introduction of Windows 8 – which was designed to make PCs appear more like tablets. As improvements in PC technology become more incremental, consumers are increasingly gravitating toward mobile devices.
Microsoft, whose software is on a majority of the world's PCs, last fall introduced Windows 8, a completely overhauled operating system with touch-screen capabilities.
But there is little sign that buyers are responding. In a surprisingly harsh assessment, IDC said Windows 8 hasn't only failed to spur more PC demand but has actually exacerbated the slowdown—confusing consumers with features that don't excel in a tablet mode and compromise the traditional PC experience.

"The reaction to Windows 8 is real," said Jay Chou, an IDC analyst, about the negative sentiment.
"The PC market is evolving and highly dynamic," a Microsoft spokeswoman said. "Along with our partners we continue to bring even more innovation to market across tablets and PCs."
Mr. Chou said not only has Windows 8 failed to attract consumers, but businesses are keeping their distance as well. Chief information officers at several companies echoed his opinion Wednesday.
Ricoh Americas Corp., which replaces about a third of its 17,000 PCs every three years and upgrades to the most current operating system available, said this year it is sticking with Windows 7, released in 2009. Tracey Rothenberger, the company's chief operating officer, said the benefits of switching to the new software aren't worth the effort of training employees to use it.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with [Windows 8]," said Mr. Rothenberger. "But I think there's minimal value in the incremental changes that are there."
Microsoft executives have said Windows 8 would take many months to catch on with consumers and especially with businesses that generate the majority of the company's profits.
Mikako Kitagawa, an analyst at Gartner, wasn't so quick to blame Microsoft for the industry's woes, arguing instead that secular trends such as customer interest in touch-based mobile devices beyond PCs are playing a larger role.
"Windows 8 is the right direction," Ms. Kitagawa said. "It will be a while before Windows 8 is adopted."
H-P, the world's largest PC maker, showed the steepest drop in global shipments in the quarter with a 24% decline, according to IDC. Dell, ranked fourth in world-wide shipments, posted a 11% drop as it makes headlines for grim financial troubles and efforts to take the company private.

U.S. shipments pegged it as the third largest PC maker, though its results fell 7.5%, IDC said. By contrast, Gartner said Apple's U.S. computer shipments rose 7.4% from the previous year.
The first quarter's declines come after a particularly troubling run up to last year's holiday quarter, during which industry researchers began sounding alarm bells that the PC market would post its first annual contraction in more than a decade. Meanwhile, tablets like Apple's iPad flew off the shelves.
Many computer-industry executives hoped Windows 8 would spark a revival in their PC and tablet sales. PC makers have mounted a series of responses to the iPad, shipping an array of computers with new looks including portables that convert from tablet mode to a clamshell design with a built-in keyboard.
Microsoft executives have said to make Windows 8 computing devices more appealing, they are urging a wider variety of touch-screen computers and tablets at a broader range of prices than were available over the holiday season.
But consumers don't appear to be responding and now analysts are expecting PC sales to suffer at least through the first half of 2013.
Carrie Soukup, a 32-year old tech support contractor living in Austin, Texas, is among the skeptics about the new software.
As she has been researching a new laptop she plans to purchase this year, she said a PC running Windows 7 was more appealing than the newer designs. "I'm not entirely thrilled with Windows 8," she said. "There's a lot of show I don't see the functionality in."
Other consumers, like Gene Elmer Munson, have held off buying PCs all together as they increasingly rely on mobile gadgets.

He bought the 7-inch Google Nexus tablet in December, and now finds himself using his laptop less and his tablet more, especially for personal work, including the novels he writes in his spare time.
"If I didn't have a smartphone and a tablet I would have replaced it by now," said Mr. Munson of his H-P laptop. "I don't see myself buying a laptop in the foreseeable future."
Roughly 350 million personal computers are sold each year, but combined sales of smartphones and tablets are dwarfing those PC figures.
People are expected to buy about 919 million smartphones this year, and IDC expects nearly 200 million tablets will be sold this year.
In another blow to Microsoft particularly, sales of tablets powered Windows 8 also haven't been strong. Windows 8 accounted for only 1% of global tablet shipments in 2012, with its share expected to rise to 7.4% by 2017, IDC says.
Stephen Baker, an analyst at NPD Group, said the future for Windows-based machines is looking increasingly bleak. "In a PC form factor you won't see Windows 8 with touch have any impact," he said.
Meanwhile, few businesses are buying many more PCs, and when they are, they aren't buying them with Windows 8—at least not yet.
Some corporate chief information officers say they don't see a compelling reason to upgrade to Windows 8.
Barry Libenson, chief information officer of Land O'Lakes Inc., manages a fleet of around 7,000 PCs, and says the number "is increasing annually, but not by a significant amount."
His company, on a three-year refresh cycle, runs the PCs on Windows 7 and doesn't have plans to migrate to Windows 8 until either the performance of Windows 7 deteriorates, or if a licensing deal with Microsoft were to make cost a nonissue.
Windows 8 "will not be a driver for increased adoption" of PCs, he said.
IDC said companies have also begun extending the life of their computers. The firm noted many companies that used to buy new PCs every three years before the recession have pushed out their purchases to every four or five years these days.
The market's troubles have been exaggerated by the dramatic corporate changes at H-P and Dell, which IDC said magnified negative trends. Rival Lenovo Group Ltd., by comparison, has been able to maintain its shipments worldwide, and actually increased its results in the U.S.
IDC said the market's steeper-than-expected contraction may spur the firm to revise its worldwide shipment expectations even lower than the gloomy outlook of a 1.3% contraction for the year. IDC's data doesn't include shipments of iPads or any computers whose screens can be detached from their keyboards. Gartner said some hybrid laptops are included, but they still represent very small numbers.

Tha BIG Packaging Debate 2011
'Packaging Design: Has delivering the right image gone too far?'
The UK operates one of the most fiercely cost-competitive retail supply chains throughout Europe. Dominated by the multiples, it has provided consumers with the ready availability of easily affordable produce on-demand; with the four leading supermarkets accounting for over 70 per cent of total grocery sales per annum.
However, with rising production, energy and transit costs; regional fluctuations in crop yields; and the global demand for raw materials outstripping or re-directing supply, the ability to continue delivering on that promise of cheap food will become increasingly harder to fulfil.
Hitherto, tight margins achieved by food and packaging suppliers have been mitigated to some extent by high volumes. But it doesn't take a clairvoyant to see that those margins are going to be even more vulnerable.
Stay tuned for further updates on this years debating panel and debate title...

The new name has captured the dynamic and forward-looking essence of the agency's own brand and is a purer representation of its core business, designing its clients' "Brand on Shelf".
Guy and his team at BOS: have a string of design awards to their name and an enviable client base which includes household name brands such as ASDA, Kenwood and Danone.
With 25 solid years working at the sharp end of competitive brand marketing and design Guy's strengths lie in steering the strategic course for BOS: and he has brought around him an excellent team of high calibre professionals who are helping to take the company to even greater heights. Guy is a pragmatic realist, believing simply that great design, branding and marketing success are based upon common sense combined with huge experience.
When he is out of the office Guy is as busy as he is at BOS:. He has a personal passion for competing at triathlon and passes on his knowledge through coaching members of the Cheltenham Triathlon Club. He has also recently revisited his musical roots, playing the trombone again after a long break. He likes people and supermarkets, seriously dislikes politicians and is a stickler for the correct use of grammar. He is married with two daughters and a cockatoo.

Delilah Aurora does sound classic. It was mainly the double letter repitition 'l' then 'r' aside from 'ah' end.
I'm not really a fan of masculine sounding names on girls but it is a middle and I do like Spruce aesthetically (i was going to edit my earlier post to add that bit but i decided not to)
If it's pronounced Tar-Mee-gan I like it as it is sufficently close to Megan (a name I love) for me and it is just a middle after all.
If you want the bird name Wren seems to be a popular choice on here.
Best of luck!Last edited by giinkies; September 4th, 2013 at 12:27 AM.

I also agree with Saraann12 in that the bible association is an after thought for me... I only made that connection after someone else brought it up.

Heya Neighbor [tag: Spike]
This was probably the strangest thing that had ever happened to Jack McFarland in the history of... ever. One minute, New York City and the next... wherever the hell he was. He had left his mansion (his, he earned it fair and square by spending some of Beverly's inheritance), left Karen and Rosario, only to do a little hottie hunting when the worst of all things happened.
Lesbians. Kissing.
As in all over each other. Hands on boobies and tongues and...
Jack immediately stopped his moment of remembrance to choke back a retch. Gross... lesbians. He hated them, despised them. If God had wanted women to have sex, he would have given them penises.
He had taken a wrong turn away from the disgusting duo, down and alley and suddenly... no mansion. No Karen, no Rosario and no way home. What in gay hell had just happened to him? At least he was able to get what he needed: an apartment, clothes, food, decor that didn't belong in the dumpster behind K-mart. While the idea of maybe not seeing Karen again was depressing, that wasn't going to keep Jack down for long. There was a certain freedom to being all alone in an apartment again. Not nearly as fabulous as the mansion (tshaw, like it could ever be), but it was his.
Which of course meant that the stereo was on as loud as it would go and Cher was on constant repeat.
"No matter how hard I try... You keep pushing me aside and I cant break through... Theres no talking to you"
He danced, he sang, he did a somersault on his couch landing perfectly on his feet in the center of the living room and above all else - he had a turkey baster for a microphone. Jack didn't know a turkey baster was, but it looked like it was used for inseminating lesbians. Again, gross... but it was a great microphone and he needed on.
"Its so sad that you're leaving, It takes time to believe it. But after all said and done, you're gonna be the lonely one, ohhh.. DO YOU BELIEVE IN LIFE AFTER LOVE.."

Falcon Waterfree Technologies congratulates M&T Bank Stadium for their outstanding USGBC LEED Gold certification accomplishment. We are so pleased to be installed in such a state of the art, sustainable facility.
M&T Bank Stadium is the first existing outdoor professional sports facility in the United States – including all NFL and Major League Baseball stadiums – to receive USGBC's Gold rating. Installations of waterless urinals alone resulted in a 43% reduction in water. The facility also boasts saving 123,070 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions, over 5 million kilowatt reduction in electricity usage as well as 27% energy efficiency above the national average.
For more information please following the following link:
Our patent protected cartridges are cylindrical and lock into our proprietary housing unit at the bottom of each urinal. Our patented bayonet locking mechanism ensures that the system is tamper-proof and air tight. Our cartridge is the key to our unique touch free system. As the urine enters the cartridge, it comes in contact with a layer of biodegradable sealant liquid with a specific gravity less than water. The urine passes through this sealant liquid and passes through the housing tailpipe which is connected to the building's waste system. This sealant liquid acts as an airtight barrier that isolates the urine from the restroom, providing odor free operation. In addition, uric sediment collects at the bottom of the cartridge, preventing buildup and keeping pipes cleaner than with traditional flush urinals. Read More
Falcon Waterfree urinals save 100% of the water and related sewer charges which are sure to rise in the future. Waterless urinals also eliminate energy costs associated with pumping water to and from the fixture. While ultra low flush urinals may use little water, they rely on valves that are prone to leaks, wasting tremendous amounts of water and money. Read More
"The Falcon Waterfree urinals are fantastic. I never have to worry about odor or maintenance because they just work."
"The decision to convert to waterfree urinals has not only been socially responsible, but fiscally responsible as well."

If we're known for a few things in Green Country, one of them is taking care of our own. Whenever tragedy strikes, the community repeatedly steps up to help others in need. Whether it's a matter of providing a helping hand, food and clothing or a measure of financial support when we're able, the people in Tulsa and Northeast Oklahoma always seem to step up to the plate when times are tough for others.
Back in August, wildfires devastated the Mannford area, destroying homes and leaving many people in need. Although many have already stepped up to provide help, the effects of that tragedy are ongoing. This weekend, 1320 Bar and Grill, 606 S. Elgin Ave., steps up with a three-night benefit concert to help the victims of the wildfires try to get back to normal.
When discussing the event with Jason Koss of 1320 Bar & Grill, he shared that 1320 had originally planned on doing a one-night event to benefit the wildfire victims. Through a twist of events, he came in contact with another group which was already planning the Out of the Ashes benefit, but needed a new venue, and the two ended up joining together for what has become a three-night event.
As Koss explained it: "One day turned into three days, and all proceeds will go to the families of the wildfire victims. A lot of people didn't have insurance on their homes, so part of the money will go to that and some will go to the volunteer firefighters."
When looking at the website for the benefit, outoftheashesok.com, 60 percent of the proceeds are earmarked for families and victims of the wildfires with 30 percent going to volunteer firefighters and the final 10 percent earmarked for animal rescue organizations. As such, you can rest assured that 100 percent of the proceeds are being directed to victims of the fires in one way or another.
The event opens Friday night, October 19, with music beginning at 5:45pm. Friday has a distinctly heavier rock theme with local bands Sarah D & the Damned Souls, Tiranico, Searching for Sanity and Firstryke leading off the evening before headliners Early Morning High Band and Rich O'Toole wrap up the night by taking things in a more Southern rock direction.
Day two kicks off at 11am on Saturday with Jimmy Blythe taking the stage at 11:30am to start the music. Nine bands perform throughout the day, including Shannon Sharpe Band at 7pm and Silver Lining Band at 8:15pm. The evening's headliners include Jason Savory at 9:30pm and a special appearance by Chad Sullins and the Last Call Coalition at 10:45pm to wrap up the evening.
Sunday wraps up the weekend and kicks off at 12:45pm with Kristin Nicole Band as the day brings a half dozen artists to the stage including Heath Wright (lead singer of Ricochet) with a solo set at 3:15pm and Tyler King (with a special guest appearance by Darrel Cole & Transcontinental) at 6:30pm before wrapping up with Thomas Martinez at 8:30pm.
Overall, it's a stacked lineup that covers hard rock, Red Dirt, Southern Rock and country for a full weekend.
When discussing the lineup and event with Koss, he shared that the event was originally planned for September, but they pushed the date out into October when negotiating with some bigger named artists to make appearances. Unfortunately, those bigger named acts didn't end up working out, but a few artists like Rich O'Toole, Jason Savory and Chad Sullins stepped up to provide some weight to the lineup and give it a distinctly Oklahoma signature.
Koss also shard that he had wanted to get a few indie and hippie/jam type acts involved to round out the bill even more, but as the event grew closer time didn't allow him to work it out. Nevertheless, it's a full bill that stretches over three days to make a difference for those affected by the wildfires in August.
One of the bands that stepped up is Chad Sullins & the Last Call Coalition. Already making waves, not only in Oklahoma, but also on the Texas music charts with his latest single "Thank God for Jack Daniels," Sullins and his band aren't new to doing benefit shows.
"I don't think a month goes by that we don't do one or two charitable shows," he said last week. "It's still fun for us to get to play, but when we get to help someone else it's a whole different deal."
As luck would have it, Sullins was actually booked to play in Stillwater for OSU's homecoming weekend, when booked on back-to-back nights created a booking conflict, the band looked for a quick trip to Tulsa to balance the schedule and found an opportunity to not only play in town and at a new venue, but also help a good cause.
"We've already played two firefighter benefits for Mannford," Sullins shared. "One was three weeks after the fire at Grady's in Yukon and the other was at Route 66 in Oklahoma City. At Grady's, the entrance was a case of water or a cash donation with the water delivered to three different fire stations. At the end of the night we had water lined up all down the wall and loaded up two 5'x8' trailers with water to be delivered, so that was pretty cool."
"The one at Route 66 was sponsored by Mustang Brewery and I think it was a $10 entry, with all the proceeds going to the Red Cross and the Firefighters, I believe," he continued. "Any time we not only get to play, but we get to do something that in some way helps others, we're all about it."
Sullins and his band mates aren't just about local causes, either. The month of October is breast cancer awareness month and the band is wearing pink wristbands at each show and earmarking 10 percent of all merchandise sales to go to Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure and two other organizations. When asked why the band got involved with the breast cancer charities, Sullins shared that "Our lead guitarist lost his mom to cancer, but I think breast cancer has touched everyone in one way or another, whether it has affected a family member or someone you know."
With such an open mind and focus on helping others, it's no wonder that Sullins and his band have stepped up to join this weekend's event for the Mannford victims. Tickets for the event are $18 per night or $45 for the weekend in advance or $20 and $50 at the door. More details about the lineup, the auction on Saturday afternoon and where the proceeds are being earmarked can be found at outoftheashesok.com.

In Memoriam: Lieutenant Commander Wesley A. Brown, Class of 1949
ANNAPOLIS, Md., May 24, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- It is with great sadness and heaviness of heart that the United States Naval Academy Alumni Association announces the passing of Lieutenant Commander Wesley A. Brown CEC, USN (Ret.), a member of the Class of 1949 and the Naval Academy's first African American graduate, on the evening of 22 May, 2012 in Silver Spring, Md.
LCDR Brown was appointed to the Naval Academy as a Midshipman in 1945 after enrolling at Howard University in the District of Columbia as an Army Specialized Training Student and an electrical engineering major. At the Academy, Brown excelled athletically, running both varsity track and cross country for the Brigade. Following his commissioning in the Navy Civil Engineer Corps, Brown served honorably in World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War, rising to Lieutenant Commander before retiring from the Navy in July, 1969.
Following his retirement from the Navy, Brown worked for the New York State University Construction Fund, the New York State Dormitory Authority and the University Planning Office at Howard University, retiring from civilian employment in 1988.
Brown remained closely connected to the Academy throughout his life. He served on the Naval Academy Alumni Association Board of Trustees and, in 2008, the Academy dedicated its newly constructed athletic facility in his honor. The Wesley Brown Field House, the first and only Academy building dedicated to a living alumnus, hosts an annual track and field invitational in Brown's honor and houses his class ring, which he donated to the athletic facility in person at this year's invitational.
Also established in Brown's honor is The Lieutenant Commander Wesley A. Brown '49 Honor Scholar scholarship. Created in 2007 by a consortium of minority Naval Academy graduates, to include the El Dorado Society, the scholarship provides an award of up to $5,000 each annually to four individuals who have been accepted into any four-year college or university in Maryland, and it is renewable up to four years. Since its establishment, five Naval Academy midshipmen have received the scholarship including Midshipman Arvind Stone, class of 2015, who had the honor of meeting with Brown at this year's Wesley Brown track and field invitational.
Naval Academy Superintendent Vice Admiral Michael H. Miller issued the following statement in response to Brown's passing; "The Naval Academy family is deeply saddened to learn of the loss of retired Lieutenant Commander Wesley Brown. A member of the Class of 1949 and our first African-American graduate, he embodied the highest ideals of the Academy's mission and dedicated himself to decades of selfless and distinguished service to our nation. Wesley Brown was a superb example to our midshipmen, displaying the traits of leadership and character we strive to instill in all of our graduates. He will be greatly missed. On behalf of the entire Naval Academy family our heartfelt condolences go out to the Brown family."
Naval Academy Alumni Association CEO, Byron Marchant, stated, "It is with a deep sadness and regret that I report the loss of Lieutenant Commander Wesley Anthony Brown '49, CEC, USN (Ret.) on 22 May. He paved the way for so many and was a true 'trailblazer' who became the first African-American to graduate from the Naval Academy. Commander Brown leaves a legacy, not only with the Naval Academy, but with the history he made."
Admiral Bob Natter '67, USN (Ret), Chairman of the U.S. Naval Academy Alumni Association added, "Commander Brown's passing is a difficult one for all of us. He has been an inspiration to those who have followed him, and his legacy will be captured through the Naval Academy's Wesley A. Brown Fieldhouse, named in his honor. He will be greatly missed."
As we mourn the loss of a true trailblazer and friend, our most sincere and heartfelt condolences go out the Brown family. LCDR Brown will be remembered for his strong commitment to leadership and the Academy mission. He will be deeply missed.
Condolence letters may be sent to:
Mrs. Wesley A. Brown

Open Range
Director : Kevin Costner
Screenplay : Craig Storper (based on the novel The Open Range Men by Lauran Paine)
MPAA Rating : R
Year of Release : 2003
Stars : Robert Duvall (Boss Spearman), Kevin Costner (Charley Waite), Annette Bening (Sue Barlow), Michael Gambon (Denton Baxter), Michael Jeter (Percy), Diego Luna (Button), James Russo (Sheriff Poole), Abraham Benrubi (Mose), Dean McDermott (Doc Barlow)
Kevin Costner's Open Range has one of the best Western shootouts ever committed to celluloid. It takes up nearly 20 minutes of the film, and in it Costner depicts with frightening clarity the reality of what it must have been like to exchange rounds with six-shooters and shotguns. The violence is sharp, sudden, and loud. The guns fire with a boom that echoes throughout the empty main street, deserted by the townspeople who knew a fight was coming and decided to seek safety in the church on the hill.
But, most importantly, the violence is often awkward and unanticipated. It in no way resembles the clean, aesthetically pleasing violence of so many action-movie shootouts (although, near the end, Costner lapses into using slow motion, which is a crucial misstep). The gunfighters are a mix of novices and experts, and Costner prefaces the shootout with a monologue in which his character predicts how the various men will react. Unlike so many Western movie shootouts, not everyone stands his ground or does exactly what a screenplay might dictate. Rather, some men cower, others make mistakes, and one makes the first move in a way that is so sudden and unexpected that it keeps you off balance for the entire sequence.
This spectacularly depicted battle culminates a story about a power battle between free grazers and ranchers in 1882, not quite the end of the West, but the beginning of its soon-to-be-lost struggle with modernism. The narrative is deeply rooted in the traditional values that have often been associated with the Western; in this way, it is a deeply nostalgic movie, one that believes wholly in redemption, justifiable violence, and the enduring power of freedom. As a director, Costner has always been something of a sentimentalist, and if Open Range has a weakness, it's that he allows himself to buy a little too much into a value system whose darker edges are all but ignored.
The two main characters are Boss Spearman (Robert Duvall) and Charley Waite (Costner), two free-grazer cattle drivers who have ridden together for the past decade. Boss, as his name implies, is the man in charge, and Duvall embodies the character with a deep-set nobility that doesn't need words. Duvall's performance is complete in every sense of the word; he inhabits the character as if he's know him all his life. Charley is a younger man, but he has seen a great deal in his life and harbors a dark past. He looks to Boss as a kind of spiritual mentor, an ethical man of great kindness and decency who helps him keep his demons at bay.
Yet, as peaceful as he is, Boss cannot turn away when a cattle rancher named Denton Baxter (Michael Gambon) and his hired thugs kill one of his men and beat another to an inch of his life as a way of running them out of the area. Baxter is a hardened capitalist, a man who wants to fence up the open range and turn it into a privately owned commodity, something that goes against everything Boss and Charley have ever know. "Cows is one thing," Boss ruminates, "but one men telling another man where he can go is something else." Thus, because Baxter's value system conflicts so drastically with theirs, violence is the only solution. The inevitability of this violence and the way in which Costner draws out its tension gives the culminating shootout much of its power.
However, much of the film is constructed out of slow, contemplative sequences, particularly the opening third, which uses gorgeous cinematography by first-time director of photography James Munro (a veteran Steadicam operator who worked on Costner's Dances With Wolves) to underscore the beauty of the open range and to contrast it with the muddy, tight spaces of the small town in which the violence occurs. There is also an extended subplot about a growing romance between Charley and the local doctor's assistant, a woman named Sue (Annette Bening). This is perhaps the film's weakest link, as the relationship feels largely unnecessary and it forces Bening to occupy the overused Western cliché of the woman as symbol of peace and civility in a violent world. Costner and Bening do have some sweet moments together, and their chemistry is almost enough to overcome the derivative nature of the relationship.

Roger Federer and Andy Murray have split the first two sets of the Wimbledon final.
Federer is trying to add to his record 16 Grand Slam championships, and tie a record by winning Wimbledon for a seventh time. Murray is trying to become the first British man to win a Grand Slam title since Fred Perry took Wimbledon and the U.S. Championships in 1936.
For Serena Williams, the low point came in early 2011, when she spent hours laying around her home, overwhelmed by a depressing series of health scares that sent her to the hospital repeatedly and kept her away from tennis for 10 months.
The high point came Saturday on Centre Court at Wimbledon, when Williams dropped down to the grass, hands covering her face. She was all the way back, a Grand Slam champion yet again.
Here's a gallery of photos from the past several days of tennis at Wimbledon.

Playing Guitar for Hospice Patients
I spent two years volunteering once a week to play guitar for hospice patients at Alive Hospice here in Nashville.
My time giving musical service at Alive was a profound piece of my development as a musician, and I wanted to share what I learned here in case you're interested in playing your guitar for people who really need your music, whether in a hospice, a nursing home, a hospital or elsewhere.
Musical Giving
First off, giving service in any form can reorient you within the world.
Music is a funny thing–it is one of the purest expressions of the human spirit (Quoth Beethoven: "Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life."). And yet, music is also often grabbed by the Ego and used for selfish ends.
If you want to be a better musician–better in the sense of being more aligned with music itself rather than your particular desires and needs–then giving musical service can provide profound guidance as you learn to let go and get out of the way of the music that is flowing through you.
Death and Music
While there are many, many options for ways and places to give musical service, playing guitar for hospice patients is a particularly potent form of musical giving.
Most of us spend the bulk of our time running in the opposite direction from confronting our own mortality.
And when you enter a hospice and play for patients, you are actively engaging with death in a very real, tangible, personal way.
With only a very few exceptions (I had one in my two years of hospice volunteering), every single person you meet will be about to die. Also, and perhaps even more powerfully, those who are still awake and aware will know it. They will know they have only a limited time on earth.
And this will make them very different from your average human being you meet out on the street.
Is Playing In Hospice for Me?
Maybe you're reading this because you're curious about playing guitar for hospice patients. Maybe you're considering it but also have a little fear rippling through your stomach.
If you're reading this, and if you're wondering if you really want to get involved with playing guitar in a hospice environment as a way of giving back, then you can definitely do it, and it will make you a better person.
I can't possibly list all the lessons I learned thanks to my time volunteering at Alive. I learned so much. And I carry that learning with me every moment.
The most potent lesson I learned is that Gratitude is always in order. Every moment above ground is a gift.
Death is a great clarifier. It sloughs off the inessential to bring you into contact with what really matters to you in this lifetime.
Your time is limited here. Every moment you neglect that fact is a moment lived in denial and illusion.
How to Get Started Playing in a Hospice
So let's say you're ready to take the plunge and volunteer as a musician giving service at a hospice.
How do you get started?
First off, contact the hospices in your area.
Hospice care comes in all shapes and sizes. There are residential hospices where patients stay in their rooms and the nurses are all on hand to help ease their transition.
Hospices also organize at-home services for some patients, where the patient remains comfortable in their own home and nurses are on call to assist them and mitigate their pain over the course of their journey into death.
Each hospice will be different, so the best thing to do to get started is to call them and ask them about their volunteer program. Ask specifically about giving musical service.
Music is such a profound tool, and patients receive it so gratefully that you'll most likely find each hospice you contact very interested in receiving your assistance.
Background Checks, TB Tests, Orientation
Hospices will generally require you to pass a background check prior to bringing you onto their staff as a musical volunteer.
This makes sense, doesn't it? You'll be participating in one of the most intimate and important experiences in the life of a human being, and you'll be coming into close contact not only with the patients but with their families as well. These people are so vulnerable, so it makes sense that hospices investigate to make sure their volunteers are trustworthy and safe people to have in such vulnerable spaces.
You'll also need to take a simple battery of medical tests. I can't speak for every single hospice out there, but when I signed up to volunteer at Alive, I had to take two TB tests to make sure I didn't have tuberculosis. These tests were easy and painless, though I did have to go into the hospice four times (once to get the first test, once to have the first test's results verified. a third time for the second test, and a fourth visit to verify the results of the second test).
Finally, the hospice you volunteer at will most likely also include an orientation procedure of some kind.
I had to attend an in-person orientation with a small group of other new volunteers. We watched a video on the background of hospice care in general and our hospice in specific, and we went over procedures and best practices for how to navigate the specific needs and challenges of volunteering at hospice.
Your First Patient Experience
At some point, it'll be time for you to dive in and meet your first patient.
I was lucky when I started at Alive–I was able to join up with two other musicians who had been volunteering for a couple years prior to my arrival. I met them, shook hands and off we went down the hall to our first patient room.
The first patient I met as a musical volunteer was named Frank. We walked into Frank's room, and Frank looked like he was in really bad shape. At the time, I hadn't yet seen enough to be able to give much in the way of diagnosis about Frank's condition, but Frank was definitely suffering from terminal lung cancer.
He could barely keep his eyes open. His body had a sickly yellow hue. His skin was sunken and his bones protruded beneath his veiny skin all over.
He looked like he was already dead, basically.
The two ladies I was volunteering with greeted Frank and asked him if he'd like any music.
Frank couldn't really respond, but he did seem to give us a signal with his eyes that said yes.
So we played. I just sat back and played along as best I could as I watched Frank receive the music and relax in response.
Frank had a friend staying with him that morning, and she came back in while we were playing. She sat next to Frank and held his hand while we played a couple tunes for him.
After a couple songs, it was time for us to go and head on down the hall to the next room. We said goodbye to Frank and exited the room.
First Impressions
Death is natural. Death is simple.
We forget that when we don't meet it face-to-face for long stretches during our seemingly "normal" life. But it's true–what is more natural than birth and death?
My first few times volunteering found me careening wildly between feeling like meeting all these people on the verge of death was completely normal and unremarkable, and then feeling completely overwhelmed with all the feelings about death that I'd previously kept at bay while I kept death itself at bay.
Often, I'd have to go home and take a nap after volunteering because I felt so drained from my couple hours touring the hospice playing songs for different patients.
How to Play for Patients
The first thing we always did was ask if the patient wanted music.
Remember: this is about them; not you.
Give them music only if they say they would like some. Otherwise, carry right along to the next room without taking anything personally.
Every single room is different, so you'll have to adapt a different approach to every single patient you meet.
Some patients will be asleep. You can let them keep resting, though sometimes after you've met the patients and know which ones really adore the musical service you give, you can also stop and sit by their bedside playing them a few lullabies while they rest.
Which songs you play depends entirely on what the person likes to hear.
In my experience volunteering in a secular hospice here in Nashville, the majority of patients wanted to hear gospel tunes. "I'll Fly Away," "How Great Thou Art," "In the Garden."
Remember, the majority of the patients in hospice are older, so they'll appreciate music from their youth and upbringing. Old-timey gospel tunes often fit the bill for these patients.
Other patients will want something completely different. I often played John Denver tunes, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," popular folk songs–and one patient even requested Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb" (though my musical partner was the only one who knew that one and I sat it out).
Often, however, you'll find that gentle improvisational instrumental music works really well.
As you volunteer more and more, you'll get a feel for a repertoire that covers many of the bases that you encounter as you volunteer. Certain songs will really work, and you'll develop a set of these "greatest hits" that you'll be able to break out whenever you're not quite sure how to work with the mood in the room.
It Can Be Intense—So Take Care of Yourself
Over the course of my two years volunteering, I definitely encountered some moments with patients that were more intense than others.
Most of the patients that you play for won't be actively dying in the moment while you're playing.
However, sometimes you'll enter a room at the precise moment when a patient is in the act of leaving their body.
This type of moment requires a very delicate sensitivity to the energy of the moment.
If you set yourself aside and really listen, you'll find guidance from deep within you that will help you know what to do and how to handle the situation in each moment.
Err on the side of gentle, always. Play peacefully with a peaceful heart.
And keep breathing. Stay centered. Instead of getting activated into anxiety and fear, stay calm and focus entirely on helping the person who's passing so that they have the most beautiful and peaceful death possible. Pray for them as you play–no matter what your belief system is. Just send them positive wishes for a beautiful reunion with their Source.
How to Take Care of Yourself
After a volunteering session with some particularly intense moments, be mindful of the fact that you'll need to treat yourself with some tender love and care.
It can be very intense to open yourself up musically in front of these patients who are at the end of their life.
I would often wish that I was also volunteering to give musical service for children to counterbalance the at times too intense presence of Death all around.
Remember to spend time outside or with animals or children or family–do things that reinforce your sense of hopefulness and faith in Life.
While it may seem that you're just a volunteer giving a little time to a local hospice, what's actually happening beneath the surface is you're becoming a wiser, kinder, more compassionate human being.
The funny paradox that I came to know quite well as I wended my way through my Tuesday morning volunteer stroll at Alive Hospice was that the more time I spent volunteering to play music for hospice patients, the wider my heart opened.
I became more vulnerable as I confronted this thing our culture fears so much–Death with a capital D–and found that it is a great gift if we're willing to receive it that way.
The more I interacted with Death through the many hospice patients I met, the more I came to appreciate Life.
Death is like industrial strength solvent for dissolving the rigid confines of the Ego. Our posturing and self-importance fall under the fell slice of the sword of Death. Death mocks everything that isn't real, which leaves only your present awareness and your love.
This confrontational process can be peaceful and smooth, or it can be a battle royale with plenty of unpleasant consequences. The more you resist and deny the suffering that you see in your stint as a musical volunteer, the more you'll yourself suffer.
But if you approach the process in a spirit of surrender, then your time giving musical service as a hospice volunteer will help you immeasurably in your life.
Volunteering at hospice is easily one of the most meaningful and important things I have done in my entire life.
Musical Lessons Learned from Hospice Volunteering
When your music is no longer about you, real beauty becomes possible.
When you have to pay total attention to the needs and energies of This Moment, you become a better musician.
When you give your music selflessly without worrying about how good you are or how much your audience appreciates it, the true value of music becomes apparent.
When you humble yourself before Life and Death, you'll come to know yourself truly, deeply.
And when you give the most beautiful song you know in the moment when a human being is leaving their body for the Great Beyond, you'll become a true musician playing for the highest purpose imaginable.
If you are considering volunteering to play guitar in hospice, then I have one simple piece of advice for you: Do it Now.
Finally, if you liked this article, then perhaps you would like to bring some beautiful new music into your life that I created while I was volunteering as a hospice musician. Pick up my first CD Spirited here.

Hinsdale further distances itself from 'dry' years
HINSDALE – Hinsdale may never be considered Homer Simpson's idea of a watering hole, but from where it was to where it is now, the evolution of a once completely dry village has been a gradual, yet dramatic change.
With one local wine shop celebrating a milestone anniversary and a new full-service restaurant expected to open soon, Hinsdale's odyssey with alcohol continues.

"Trader Joe's is popular because of unique specialty items and imported goods that are here one week and gone the next,' says Burt Flickenger of Strategic Resource Group. But that's in southern California, where he says the national chains have neglected the market by raising prices.
Head east, and it's a slightly different story. "Because of the inconsistency of distribution, the Trader Joe's stores do not do as much volume as out west. In California, it could sell as much as Wegmans in half of the selling space," notes Flickenger.
Flickenger says the neglect by chains out west won't be spotted here, which is why it will be tough for Trader Joe's to gain a foothold against the likes of Tops, Wegmans, and Budwey's. For Trader Joe's to succeed, it must keep prices low and quality high.

State-run health care exchange dead
Each week we take a look at Michigan politics with Ken Sikkema, former senate majority leader and senior policy fellow at Public Sector Consultants, and Susan Demas, political analyst for Michigan Information and Research Service.
The House GOP Health Policy Committee, today voted by a 9-5 vote against legislation to establish a state-run health care exchange. The health care exchanges are a requirement of the federal Affordable Care Act.
Governor Rick Snyder has been pushing for a state-run online market where people can compare and buy health insurance plans, but Republicans in the House continue their opposition to Obama's federal health care act. Today, Speaker of the House Jase Bolger asked fellow Republicans to pass the legislation.
"Here you have a situation where the Speaker finally said lets do this, and his own members said, 'No, we don't want to do it.' So, I think that's somewhat of an embarrassing moment here for the Speaker, not so much for the Governor," said Sikkema.
Demas says there are no signs of an extension for states to set up the exchange. At this point it's likely the state will get a federally created exchange.

How to find system wake causes in OS X
Whenever your system wakes from sleep, the OS X Kernel will output a small code to the system console that indicates the reason for the wake event. Since you can access the system console using Apple's Console utility, if your system is regularly waking up when you have put it to sleep, then you can help track down the reason using these codes.
To locate these codes, first open the Console program. Next, select "All Messages" in the sidebar, which will bring up the output from active and ongoing system events. Now enter the term "wake&… Read more

I'm watching with interest - This board with GPS for the money seems like good value. I have the AIOP board plus GPS and I'm planning to run MPNG, in process of tuning and testing. Here is the link for the AIOP thread which may be helpful. Plenty of discussion and examples about editing config.h files etc for both Multiwii and MPNG - beware which is under discussion to avoid confusion.
The AIOP thread has moved quickly so some earlier fixes / discussions and are not relevant now The issue with the weak mini USB socket has been raised many times. The best fix is to epoxy the socket to the board - taking care not to let the epoxy into the socket (like I did). There is a blue tooth module here for AIOP / MultiWii and it can also be used with MPNG via Mission Planner. |

Oral argument: Dec. 7, 2010
Appealed from: United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit (May 7, 2009)
A 2003 investigation by the New York State Attorney General revealed that Janus Capital Management, an investment adviser, had secretly allowed several hedge funds to engage in market-timing trades using the assets of the Janus Investment Fund, which were publicly marketed toward long-term investors. Subsequently, First Derivative Traders, a stockholder in Janus Capital Management's parent company, brought a private securities fraud action against the Janus companies, alleging that Janus Capital Management was responsible for misleading statements in the Janus Funds' prospectuses. Though Janus Capital Management argued that its status as a mere outside service provider precluded liability, the Fourth Circuit allowed First Derivative Traders to move forward with its claim. In a decision that will affect the scope of secondary liability in private securities-fraud actions, the Supreme Court is now asked to decide whether an investment adviser can be held responsible for misstatements that appear in its client's offering documents.
