A man remains in critical condition on life support after a group of kids beat him with bats, boards and shovels.
Milwaukee police say a mob of about 20 kids beat the man brain dead after he punched one of them in the mouth for throwing an egg at him.
A Milwaukee newstation reported that Milwaukee police now have eight suspects in custody, at least one as young as 10-years-old. The children have reportedly confessed to the crime.
The victim, 36-year-old Charlie Young Junior of Milwaukee, remains on life support.
Police say the gang chased Young onto the porch of a house on the city's north side and pummeled him, leaving blood splattered from floor to ceiling.
Authorities are still looking for more juveniles involved in the assault.

Powered by Janome: Angela Pingel
This former high school math teacher and interior designer runs the Cut to Pieces blog.
Angela Pingel first caught our attention when she won the 2012 Moda Bake Shop Sliced! competition. Her entry project was an adorable Owl Tag Along toddler backpack.
Her first place finish also made her a Janome sewist--the Grand Prize being a Horizon 7700 machine.
We wanted to highlight Angela's blog as a great place to find sewing tutorials, quilt alongs, free patterns, and lots of inspiration. She also sells her original designs through PatternShop and Etsy.
Angela's creations have been featured in 101 Patchwork Projects and Modern Patchwork by Interweave Press, 99 Modern Blocks by C&T Publishing, and she was actually featured on Moda Bake Shop prior to deciding to enter the Sliced! competition.
She's never taken any sewing classes but has taught herself to sew from patterns and books and eventually some online tutorials. Angela says, "My mother used to make a few dresses for me when I was little and knew some basics that she passed on, but I quickly moved past her."
She discovered quilting when she was working in a fabric store in high school. She had already been sewing garments for years. She says, "I fell in love with quilting and haven't looked back!"
Angela decided to start her blog after becoming a stay-at-home mom. She had been a math teacher and an interior designer, but was looking for something that would be more flexible. Orignally, Cut to Pieces was a way to share all the projects she was making in online bees and swaps. Now it's that and so much more.
Angela got acquainted with Janome when she won her 7700. What she likes best about her machine is how well it quilts through many layers, and the built in AcuFeed system. She says, "Both of these have made quilting much easier for me!"
Like all sewists and quilters, Angela feels like there are always so many projects and so little time. She says, "I have lots on the horizon (pun intended) but one of the things I'm looking forward to is a new sew along on my blog making Princess Dresses from a single, simple pattern."
Visit Angel Pingel's blog, her Etsy shop, and PatternStop shop.
Janome's latest quilting dream machine is Horizon Memory Craft 8900 QCP. Try it at your local Janome dealer.

You know that you have great friends when they travel to Paris for one night only to see your first catwalk collection. Giles Deacon and Hazel Robinson enjoyed tea and teeny sandwiches at the very civilised tables lining the Loewe catwalk. They were there to support Stuart Vevers, once of Mulberry, who is now Creative Director of Loewe. After two capsule collections and no shows, Stuart made up for it with three showings of his A/W '09 collection, running one after the other, with only half an hour inbetween. But we would have happily sat through the show each time. The collection was sleek, stealth and mature. Lots of leather, lots of suede, studding, punched holes, great fabric combinations and unusual detailing. For a first full collection it was signature Loewe, but with bags of Vevers' character and attitude. In fact regardless of it being his debut show, it was a triumph - sellable and sexy.
Perfect shirting with tweed pencil skirts

Joe Biden and Paul Ryan had better bring their A-game this week, because Jon Stewart and Bill O'Reilly may have made for this election year's best — and most effective — debate. And these guys aren't even in the running.
On Saturday, October 6 the two basic cable friends/foes met for The Rumble in the Air Conditioned Auditorium (the Lisner Auditorium at George Washington University in D.C., to be precise) for a smart, hilarious, aggravating, enlightening, and damn entertaining debate about everything from health care to the budget to... Oprah. Yes, Oprah.
The hour-and-a-half-long debate, which was streamed on TheRumble2012.com for a fee of $4.95 (though many paying users ran into server overload problems and couldn't watch it live, prompting refunds for the popular broadcast), played out like a gloriously extended version of Stewart and O'Reilly's visits to one another's respective shows. And, much like those visits, and prior debates, it was chock full of memorable moments and soundbites.
Here are the top highlights from this weekend's Stewart/O'Reilly showdown:
- Moderator E.D. Hill (who, despite getting cut off a few times by both men, wasn't even close to Jim Lehrer territory) described Stewart as "Hobbit-like" in stature, while Stewart called O'Reilly a "yeti". Stewart also used a motorized lift throughout the event to raise (and lower) himself against his much taller opponent.
- Jon Stewart's opening statement: "My friend Bill O'Reilly is completely full of s**t". Throughout the debate Stewart beckoned the Fox News pundit down from his post as "Mayor of Bulls**t Mountain." "Bulls**t Mountain" came from a recently popular segment on The Daily Show.
- O'Reilly saw the signs. In fact, the author brought a series of flash cards to further emphasize his point on further topics, including blaming Bush and birth control.
- After O'Reilly complained that he doesn't want to pay for things like PBS and women's birth control (which Stewart quickly pointed out, should also include Viagra), Stewart noted that he'd fund children's television and "rubbers for everyone" rather than have had to pay for the Iraq War, which caused one of the biggest eruptions of applause during the evening.
- "I learned that on Sesame Street"- Stewart, after O'Reilly asked him about the deficit.
- Stewart, 49, made O'Reilly, 63, feel his age when the Fox News host made an outdated reference ("Gerry and the Pacemakers", anyone....anyone?) "This is on the Internet, Bill," Stewart reminded him. Of course, O'Reilly seemed none-too-interested in the medium, despite the fact that the debate was taking place on it, after he slammed the culture of Internet commenting and told the "pinhead" youth of America, to "get off the Internet and go outside" in his closing statement.
- The hilarity that ensued regarding the "war on Christmas." As Stewart succinctly put it: "Walk a mile in Hanukkah's shoes!" Later, Stewart sat on O'Reilly's lap, prompting the latter to ask, "And what would you like for Christmas, little boy?"
- Cover your ears, Stephen Colbert! Your beloved Papa Bear made not one, but two, zings against you in the debate.
- "Dude?!" - A flummoxed O'Reilly after Stewart referred to him a "dude". Uh oh, remember who else he called "dude"?
- "We're only as good as CNN? Are you kidding me?"- O'Reilly, after Stewart said the United States is only as strong as its weakest link.
- Stewart talked to an invisible person in a chair after O'Reilly said he'd pick Clint Eastwood as President.
- The debate seemed to turn the most heated when the topics of Muslim brotherhood, redistribution of wealth, and health care came up. O'Reilly earned, arguably, the biggest boo of the night when he suggested, "Health care has to be basically run by insurance companies, not the government."
- Believe it or not, the two man actually agreed on some things. O'Reilly concurred that the war in Iraq should have never taken place (to which Stewart urged those in the audience to "live-tweet that"), and both men acknowledged Oprah would be the one celebrity worth saving if America was on fire.
- "Now I know I'm right" - O'Reilly's closing remark.
- "Bulls**t Mountain is tall... and wide... and deep" - Stewart's closing remark.
While Hill suggested that, unlike most debates, both parties walked away winners (in fact, they both received awesome wrestling belts), the Internet is giving the edge to Stewart for his one-man army invasion of Bulls**t Mountain. The entire debate is still available to watch online, and the small fee goes to various charities. So you can still decide for yourself, and add to the ongoing debate about the debate.

Written by Mary Masterson, email@example.com Thursday, 06 March 2014 10:41
Each year, thousands of animals end up in shelters in desperate need of healing and care. Volunteers like Kyrstin Stehle provide that much-needed love and attention, giving countless animals a second chance at life.
Stehle, who has worked for the past 16 years as an ESL teacher at East Street Elementary School and is also a member of the Hicksville Congress of Teachers, loves children, enjoys languages, and is committed to helping animals in need at the Hempstead Town Animal Shelter in Wantagh.
After Stehle and her husband Walter lost their six-year-old dog Shea, a Bull mastiff, to cancer, they donated her medication to a shelter in Freeport and learned about the need for volunteers. In September 2012, Stehle filled out an application to volunteer at the shelter. After a one-on-one interview with a volunteer coordinator she was accepted into the program as one of 80 volunteers, attended an orientation and was assigned a mentor to train and assist her in working with the animals.
Stehle and her husband now volunteer every weekend on Saturdays and Sundays for three hours each day and on Wednesday nights for one and a half hours.
Many of the dogs have stranger issues and are afraid of people. Stehle sometimes wears different types of uniforms or outfits with hoods and may even use props such as wheelchairs or crutches while interacting with the dogs who are then rewarded if they react in a positive way. These behavior modifications are used to make the animals more adoptable.
Stehle also worked with the shelter's head trainer in "Buddy Classes" and has learned to teach dogs the basic commands in order to get them acclimated to living in a home.
In her classroom, Stehle often talks about her love for animals with her students. She models writing personal narratives for her students by using her experiences at the shelter as examples.
"My students see my photographs of the animals and use them as a springboard for their writing activities," explains Stehle. "I believe that it's important to give back to one's community. Service learning plays an important role in our schools, and it's gratifying to see my students inspired to express their wish to volunteer at an animal shelter."
When asked what she'd like people in the community to do to help, Stehle repeated her motto: "Adopt, Don't Shop! There are amazing dogs and cats who really deserve to be in homes. I can say that because I know the animals. Please get involved!"
There are many ways local residents can get involved and help animals in need. The Hempstead Town Animal Shelter will be holding its next big adoption event around St. Patrick's Day.
Also consider downloading an application to either volunteer at the shelter, provide foster care for an animal in need, or donating items such as dog/cat toys and treats, newspapers to line the cages, grooming tools such as brushes and combs, and blankets. Since the floors of the shelter are concrete, the bottom side of the blanket needs to be a rougher sort of material, like wool, and the top side could be a soft, thick fleece.
The Hicksville Congress of Teachers is supporting Stehle, who is a member of the HCT Board of Directors, by holding an "Animal Shelter Supplies Drive." Community members can drop off pet supplies at the Hicksville Congress of Teachers Office located at 183 Broadway, Suite 302, in Hicksville on Tuesdays through Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
They are collecting food, treats, toys, blankets, newspapers (for lining cages), and pet beds, for both dogs and cats, as well as monetary donations (checks can be made out to the Hempstead Town Animal Shelter) until March 31.
"There's a feeling of satisfaction and pride every time an animal that I've worked with is adopted," said Stehle. "Although there is a bittersweet element in saying goodbye to 'friends' that get adopted, knowing that they'll now have a home with a loving family and be given the life that every animal deserves brings sheer joy to my heart."

The Most Important Jews in Politics of 5768-69: Eighth Night – Joe Lieberman
Joe Lieberman
To find the people in this world who are really, really passionate about Joe Lieberman you have to search the narrowest shaded regions of a highly specific venn diagram: war hawks, who love Jesus, who aren't anti-Semitic, who can overlook pro-Choice politics.
Maybe that explains his disastrous 2004 Presidential run despite all his "Joe-mentum." But as a Jew from Connecticut, I guess Lieberman is used to not exactly fitting in.
Still, his not-fitting-in-iness got a whole lot more not-fitting-in-ier in 2008 when he backed Republican Senator John McCain for President. Lieberman railed against Obama and supported his pal McCain until the bitter end. And the end was bitter.
When the dust settled, Lieberman apologized for what he'd done and ate crow -– which although technically Kosher, must have been difficult for him to swallow.
Go back to the seventh night.

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Grace Academy's players tried a little introspection before Thursday's play, and it seemed to work.
The Lady Golden Eagles shook off a one-run loss in 11 innings Wednesday night and bounced back with two victories at Starplex No. 4, reaching today's losers-bracket final. Grace cruised past Unaka 10-0 in five innings and Marion County 5-2.
Grace (40-8-1) will play Cornersville today at 11 a.m. EDT. The winner then will take on Decatur County Riverside in the final at 6:30 p.m. Riverside edged Cornersville 5-4 on Thursday.
Marion County beat Houston County 5-3 in the early session.
Grace coach Tina Walker said when the team got back to the hotel the coaches let the players have a heart-to-heart talk among themselves to figure out what they needed to do moving forward.
"Mentally we weren't in it in the game against Decatur County," Walker said. "We made tons of mistakes. We didn't wait on good pitches. We were not being disciplined."
Lexie Dean and Jessie Parker hit run-scoring singles in the first inning against Houston County. Lacye Walker, who started the game with a double and ended up 3-for-3, pitched a two-hitter with one walk and 10 strikeouts.
Marion County got to Walker for seven hits. She had six strikeouts and one walk against the Lady Warriors and hit a two-RBI triple.
"Lacye has thrown a lot," Coach Walker said of her daughter. "She's getting tired, no doubt about it. We've got to hit."
Marion County (36-10) got one-out singles in the first inning by Keli Bruning and Taylor Brown. Heather Richards and Brooke Baxter hit consecutive singles beginning the Lady Warriors' third, and Brown walked and Morgan Henderson singled starting the sixth, when they finally broke through with a run.
Kacie McClendon's one-out single loaded the bases in the sixth, and Kelsey Thomas hit a sacrifice fly. Bruning's one-out single in the seventh drove in Marion's other run.
"We got a couple of hits early on, but we never could get that third hit in there to make it happen," Marion coach Chris Thomas said. "Lacye does a good job. She's one of the best pitchers in the state."
Marion graduates four seniors.
"This was a good group of girls," Coach Thomas said. "They played as a team all year. We gained a bit of experience. Here, that can be a big factor."
Kelsey Thomas had a double and two RBIs in the Lady Warriors' first game and was the winning pitcher.
Henderson went 3-for-4 and Baxter went 2-for-3. Each drove in a run and scored one.
Grace's Kaitlyn Eldridge was 2-for-3 with two RBIs and a run scored against the Lady Warriors.
Savannah Jeno's fifth-inning three-run homer capped Grace's scoring in its first game. Eldridge doubled in two in the third inning, then advanced to third on a flyout and made it 5-0 by soring on a wild pitch.
Bethany Cowart had a two-run single ahead of Jeno's shot and was 2-for-2 with a double and run scored in the second game. Sierra Nunley was 2-for-3 and scored a run against Marion.

Ecology Policy
To encourage a greater environmental awareness in all we do
Classic Sailing operates the following policies;
Promote environmental awareness and sound practice in our employees, skippers, suppliers and customers. Reduce the environmental harm of our activities by using less energy and reducing air, land and sea pollution where ever possible. Encourage understanding and respect for local populations, customs, cultures, wildlife and marine ecology.
1 To sail as much as possible therefore reducing energy consumption, we currently average 78% sailing as opposed to motoring, in accordance with safe working practices.
2 To use recycled paper as far as possible.
3 To strictly enforce no waste being thrown overboard.
4 To leave any beach or shore line we visit cleaner than when we arrived.
5 To encourage guests to join by public transport or to arrange shared transport where ever possible.
6 To educate sailing guests on the ecology of the sea and shore.
7 To encourage all staff, skippers and shareholders to a greater environmental understanding and to help them develop ecological practices.
8 To encourage a greater environmental awareness in all we do.
1. Sailing is a very environmentally friendly form of transport as it harnesses the wind and sea without detriment to either. Eve is a wooden boat made from renewable resources and her impact on the environment is considered enhancing due to her beauty. We only operate an engine when wind power is contrary to pre-planned destinations.
2. The paper we use is either recycled or manufactured from sustainably managed forests.
3. At sea and on the water we adhere to the code of practice that forbids throwing anything overboard and take all our waste to specifically provided facilities for yachts. Separating our waste when appropriate. We monitor our waste ashore and afloat.
4. When ashore visiting natural sites we ask guests to collect any litter they can comfortably handle and ensure that we leave the site cleaner than when we arrived.
5. We intend to offer financial incentives to guests arriving by public transport, other than planes or helicopters. This takes the form of a discount from the voyage fee, however we do ask that they donate half their discount to an environmental charity of their choice. If they donate half their discount Classic Sailing will donate a similar sum to Seaquest the maritime conservation project of Devon and Cornwall Wildlife Trust.
6. On board we keep a small library of books that can help guests understand the natural environment around them, the skippers though not formally qualified have a growing knowledge of this and enjoy passing it on to those onboard. Much of the pleasure of our voyages is derived from highlighting the points of interest and seasonal events that take place. We report all sightings of interesting marine life to Seaquest the maritime conservation project of Devon and Cornwall Wildlife Trust.
8. To provide opportunities for all those who work or support us to partake of environmental education and to provide development time for new ecological practices etc.
Sailing is reliant on understanding the environment and helping guests relate to the elements is a natural part of our holiday experience.
9 If you come to St Mawes by bicycle we have a secure inside store for your bike whilst you are sailing.

The Very Rich Get Super Rich (and Other Census Highlights)
The Census Bureau! It's not just for creating a list of Americans set to be confined in FEMA concentration camps after Barack Obama's reelection. It's also for the compilation of data about income, poverty and health insurance coverage.
Here are the highlights from the new report…
* U.S. manufacturing is so bad, we can't even make poor people anymore. After three consecutive years of increases, the poverty rate remained stable at 15.0%, with 46.2 million people in poverty.
* The number of people without health insurance coverage declined from 50 million in 2010 to 48.6 million in 2011, thanks largely to Obamacare. No worries though, at last check Romney still plans to repeal it, since nothing in the ACA covers pre-existing positions on healthcare reform.
* The average real income of the richest fifth of all households grew by $3,200 in 2011, with most of the gains accruing to the top 5%. Average income for the bottom four-fifths fell. Since money is speech, this explains why Rush Limbaugh has been so fucking loud lately.
* If the official measures counted them as income, food stamps would have pulled 3.9 million people out of poverty and the Earned Income Tax Credit another 5.7 million. The only joke here is on people who think government can't a difference in peoples' lives.

On a recent trip to Africa, we found ourselves in Malindi, Kenya.
A little habit of mine, where ever I end up is to check out the local foliage and fauna to see whats growing out there. Much to my surprise, on this one square acre plot by the beach I was able to find two of my favorite trees, the Moringa Oleifera Tree.
I would go into all the specifics in this post on why the tree is so beneficial, but its really interesting to see the different growth patterns you can see on this tree if not properly maintained for cultivation.

Placement [1]
ACCUPLACER Basic Skills Assessment
The ACCUPLACER is an assessment tool developed by the College Board and is administered to all new students enrolling in a degree or certificate program in order to assess their academic skills in mathematics, English and reading. The results are used by advisors and counselors to assist with course selection and academic advising. You cannot "pass" or "fail", but it is very important that you do your very best so that ACC will have an accurate measure of your current academic skills. This is not an admissions test. The assessment is untimed. On average, it takes approximately 1 ½ to 2 hours, so plan accordingly. It is important that students arrive on time for the Assessment.
Every student knows that studying reduces the anxiety and pressure associated with exam-taking. As with any test, Accuplacer results are strongly and positively related with the amount of quality studying done before taking the test. The following hyperlinked websites and study guides will provide you with both a better understanding of, and an opportunity to practice, the skills on which the ACCUPLACER will test you.
- Math ACCUPLACER Preparation [2]
(Includes links to other math skills practice sites)
- English ACCUPLACER Preparation
Sentence Skills [3]
Reading Comprehension [4]
- Math and English ACCUPLACER Preparation [5]
Who needs to take the ACCUPLACER?
You must take the ACCUPLACER Test if:
- You are a new student enrolling in an ACC degree or certificate program;
- You plan to register for a course with an English or math prerequisite;
- You are a transfer student who has not earned a "C" or better in an English Composition and/or college-level mathematics course;
- You are a non-degree student seeking to enroll in an English or math course; or
- You elect to take a developmental course (to ensure proper placement).
You are exempt from the ACCUPLACER test if:
- You are a transfer student who has earned a "C" or better in an English Composition and/or college-level mathematics course;
- You have either an SAT Critical Reading or Writing score of 450 or higher, and/or an SAT Mathematics score of 500 or higher; or
- You have an ACT English score of 21 or higher, or a composite score of 47 or higher on the ACT English and Reading test, or an ACT Math score of 18-21.
Any student who has a physical or learning disability, or other limitation necessitating special assistance and/or facilities for ACCUPLACER testing, should contact the Student Disabilities Services Coordinator, Maki McHenry, at (860) 253-3021.
When and where can students take the ACCUPLACER?
Call our office at (860) 253-3010 to schedule an individual appointment.
The ACCUPLACER is an untimed test.

Sugar Cookies and Books
- by Patricia McLinn
Books are like sugar cookie dough. I had that blinding insight last week while making cutout cookies with my family.
Sugar cookie dough isn't all that complicated. Flour, butter, sugar, plus some odds and ends, and there you have it.
Rather like plot, characters and action, along with a few twists.
The quality of the ingredients, as well as their proportions get you from "meh" to "mmmmm."
But that's just the start. The next step is vital.
It's manipulating the dough. Rolling it out. Using the right amount of flour so it doesn't stick. Giving the cookies shape: simple circles, scalloped rounds, or myriad holiday-appropriate designs.
Don't handle it enough, skimp on the flour on your rolling pin or surface, and you have a gooey mess that's impossible to transfer to the cookie sheet.
Remind you of any books you've read? Books that lack the benefit of deft editing (or sometimes any editing), that have a great concept without equivalent follow-through.
Go overboard, though, laying on the flour, incessantly kneading and molding the ball of dough by hand, and you get tough, dense cookies that can be a close relative to hardtack.
These books are the ones that have been hookified and marketablized and reader-surveyized with a thousand hands pounding them into stultifying stolidness.
Not that that ever happens in publishing.
Now, let's talk about using the sugar cookie recipe for cutouts . . . Are you rolling you eyes at the idea of books as cutouts? Don't. We're on the same side here, because no one who's made cutout cookies with my family would ever use them as a metaphor for replications.
That insight came to me as I contemplated the cookies we'd stacked in preparation for decorating. Yes, we could tell which ones came from which cutter, but they were as individual as snowflakes.
How does that happen?
No two batches of dough are precisely alike. Each rollout of the dough adds a different dimension. Every impression of the cookie cutters vary with pressure, angle, arranging and adjusting to wedge in the maximum number of cookies, plus wiggling the cutters into place.
Lifting each cookie and transferring it to the cookie sheet is an action sequence where Rudolph can lose a leg in a heartbeat or come through with merely a limp. On to the trial by fire in the oven, where the cookies can scoot from too soft, past just-right, to blackened, depending on timing, thickness and the vagaries of your oven.
And then there's the decorating. Color, design, talent, imagination and sprinkles produce endless variety. There are no rules, no top-ten tricks, no must-haves when we decorate cutouts. (Though we do keep an eye on my brother since the Easter Egg Incident: mud brown, with "war" and "hate" on it. He thinks he's funny.)
There's even a practical reason for the sprinkles – it keeps the cookies from sticking together when they're stored (though they don't stay stored long.) The cutouts are usually the first to disappear from the family holiday cookie platters.
So there you have it. The entire publishing industry in a sugar cookie cutout. With icing. And sprinkles.
Go ahead, take a bite out of it.
As for me, I'm declaring this blog done to perfection.
Celebrate every holiday that comes your way and happy reading in 2011!

Wow, Pat! You've inspired me to go whip up some dough and start baking. I let Christmas slip by and didn't bake a one. I'll call them New Year's cookies and probably eat them all myself.

Great, Phoebe! Enjoy those cookies! I hear a rumor that they get even better a day or so after being decorated. Don't know how that could ever be tested, however

Check Out the Parking Lot: Hell in LA
London Review of Books Jul 2004
Parking garages, prisons, freeways and the world of stuff we're not supposed to look at.
Parking garages, prisons, freeways and the world of stuff we're not supposed to look at.
How architecture has made Los Angeles a bank robber's paradise.
How the foreclosure crisis ignited a new form of activism in Chicago's vacant homes.
Boomtown San Francisco, as seen from the "Google Bus."
On the then new phenomenon of dead downtowns:
It is not only for amenity but for economics that choice is so vital. Without a mixture on the streets, our downtowns would be superficially standardized, and functionally standardized as well. New construction is necessary, but it is not an unmixed blessing: its inexorable economy is fatal to hundreds of enterprises able to make out successfully in old buildings. Notice that when a new building goes up, the kind of ground-floor tenants it gets are usually the chain store and the chain restaurant. Lack of variety in age and overhead is an unavoidable defect in large new shopping centers and is one reason why even the most successful cannot incubate the unusual--a point overlooked by planners of downtown shopping-center projects.
On the development of South Korea's New Songdo and Cisco's plans to build smart cities which will "offer cities as a service, bundling urban necessities – water, power, traffic, telephony – into a single, Internet-enabled utility, taking a little extra off the top of every resident's bill." The demand for such cities is enormous:
China doesn't need cool, green, smart cities. It needs cities, period -- 500 New Songdos at the very least. One hundred of those will each house a million or more transplanted peasants. In fact, while humanity has been building cities for 9,000 years, that was apparently just a warm-up for the next 40. As of now, we're officially an urban species. More than half of us -- 3.3 billion people -- live in a city. Our numbers are projected to nearly double by 2050, adding roughly a New Songdo a day; the United Nations predicts the vast majority will flood smaller cities in Africa and Asia.

KNOXVILLE — The University of Tennessee football team showed the two good sides of its offense Saturday night.
What second-year coach Derek Dooley will take from the 42-16 season-opening win over Montana, though, is the third and not-so-pretty side.
"It's a good win — they all are, they're all never easy," Dooley said, "but there's a lot of work to do. We need to make a big jump from game one to game two if we're going to be competitive. We made a ton of mistakes, a lot of them from young guys. We've got to go look at the film and clean it up and show some improvement next week."
The Volunteers scored the game's first 28 points and never really were threatened by the overmanned Grizzlies, but with the five fumbles, poor running game and six penalties, there's plenty for the Vols to correct with Cincinnati visiting this Saturday.
A thunderstorm delayed the start of Saturday's game for 1 hour and 43 minutes, and the Vols needed a turnover after the Grizzlies forced a punt after three offensive plays and a sack of quarterback Tyler Bray. Anthony Anderson recovered Peter Nguyen's muffed punt, and UT scored on the next play when Bray took a flea-flicker pitch after handing off to Tauren Poole, rolled to his right and hit Da'Rick Rogers for a 47-yard score.
UT's next drive lasted just two plays longer, as Bray hit Justin Hunter for an 81-yard score as the Vols flashed back to the big offense they showed at the end of last season.
"We saw these holes when we were watching film," Bray said.
The Vols' next two scoring drives were closer to the offense's character from training camp. They extended their lead with drives of 12 and 13 plays. Though they struggled running the football and averaging less than 3 yards per carry, UT was 10-of-17 on third downs.
"We can't go deep every time," Bray said. "Teams are going to start to key on that, so we've got the underneath routes. It was really good. We were running the ball, throwing the ball, it was balanced offense and we were just trying to finish."
Bray finished 17-of-24 for 293 yards and three scores, but he was sacked three times. Hunter caught six passes for 146 yards and Rogers added 100 yards on five grabs.
Montana scored on an 80-yard pass play and a safety to cut its deficit to 28-9, but Art Evans answered with a 37-yard interception return for a touchdown. Poole finished with 98 yards on 24 carries, and freshman Marlin Lane scored two touchdowns.
"I knew there was going to be a lot of mistakes," Dooley said. "I'm pleased. It's a good win — I'm not disappointed. I don't want y'all to think that I am. That's a good team and a good program, and we won by a pretty good margin. Every time it got a little hairy, we did something to get out of it."
Patrick Brown has been the University of Tennessee beat writer since January 2011. A native of Memphis, Brown graduated from UT in May of 2010 with a bachelor's degree in Journalism/Electronic Media and worked at the Knoxville News Sentinel for two years on the sports editorial staff and as a freelance contributor. If it's the NBA, the NFL or SEC football and basketball, he's probably reading about it or watching it on TV. Contact him ...
Over all the Vols looked good. They did not show a lot of forward growth on the offensive line. Any Division 1A school should knock any Division 2 school off the ball. That did not occur and it will likely concern coaches and fans. On the other side, it was the first game and it was a win. That is celebrated. We will see next week if the so called most improvement between game one and game two theory holds up. I am hoping it does.

DODGE CITY, Kan. (AP) - A second major winter storm is bearing down on the central Plains, forcing cancellations and sending public works crews scrambling.
The National Weather Service issued a blizzard watch from Sunday evening through late Monday for much of Kansas because of the storm system that's tracking across western Texas into Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri. The storm could leave up to 15 inches of snow in some sections of Texas and Kansas, where a storm last week dumped about a foot.
More than a foot of snow is possible from the Texas Panhandle, across the Oklahoma Panhandle and into Kansas and possibly Missouri as the storm moves eastward from the southwestern United States.
Weather officials say the storm also could spawn tornadoes Tuesday in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, the Florida Panhandle and Georgia.

A judge is allowing former Penn State President Graham Spanier to travel outside state lines but won't permit any foreign trips.
Spanier's lawyer Ed Spreha says he was notified of the order Monday. It requires Spanier to provide five days' notice of any travel outside Pennsylvania.
Spanier is facing charges that include obstruction and perjury for allegedly covering up complaints in the Jerry Sandusky child molestation scandal.
Spanier was also ordered not to have any contact with current or past members of the Penn State Board of Trustees, or with any witnesses in the case against him.
Spanier wanted permission to travel to Europe for work and family matters.

Jeff Branscome writes about Spotsylvania County.
Randy Wheeler Resigns
At about 11:30 p.m., the Board of Supervisors accepted the resignation of County Administrator Randy Wheeler after a nearly nine-hour meeting that contained votes on several hot-button issues.
Supervisors met briefly in closed session and when they came out, Wheeler gave a brief speech. He touched on the successes of the county under his leadership, specifically mentioning the Spotsylvania Medical Center, which opens in 2010, the three new fire stations that recently opened, the economic development growth here, the library expansions, Patriot Park, and the citizen satisfaction surveys that show continuous increases in the grades residents gave for quality of life.
"And most of all I am very proud of the over 800 men and women that I have had an opportunity to work with as a fellow employee of Spotsylvania County," Wheeler said. "I came home to Spotsylvania County five years go because I love this community and I thought I could make a difference, and I think I have. But now after five years I think the time has come for me to pursue other opportunities."
Wheeler did not say if he has another job opportunity available to him. Supervisors did not name an acting county administrator or mention anything about when they would begin a search for a new one.
Supervisors agreed to pay Wheeler a lump sum of $114,885, which is in line with his contract. The contract states that if he is terminated or resigns following a "suggestion" by a majority of the Board of Supervisors, he will get a lump-sum cash payment equal to six months of his salary and benefits.
Supervisor Gary Jackson voted against the motion to accept Wheeler's resignation. He did not say why, but after the meeting he walked over to Wheeler, shook his hand, and said "I'm sorry, man."

Many aspects of the F&M experience contributed to my ability to pursue a successful career in the Geological Sciences, but none epitomizes it better than the Senior Thesis on "The Conestoga Limestone".
I learned later that many Masters Theses were not as in depth or significant. Several aspects contributed –
1) We worked as teams, building team working skills which are invaluable in business and life,
2) It was a field project, with high emphasis on collecting and interpreting the basic data ourselves, not relying on someone else's writings or interpretation,
3) We had a definite timeline for getting the data collected and getting it written up – the deal had to get closed! – teaching the value of wrapping things up in a timely fashion.
There were many other things that I could mention: encouragement, support and teaching from a close knit faculty and student group included, but the Senior Thesis sums it up best for me.

A man is behind bars, charged with a crime he's been convicted of nearly half a dozen times. Police say the arrest highlights a problem they see constantly, especially with burglaries.
If convicted, it would make the fifth burglary conviction for 50 year old Gaylen Faggitt.
Police say it's frustrating to keep putting the same people in jail for the same crime but the district attorney says because of state sentencing laws, there's only so much time burglars can get.
Whenever they're called out to investigate a burglary, police say there's a reason they start their search for a suspect with people they've arrested before.
"Property crimes tend to be something where we see repeat offenders. If they've gotten particularly good at burglarizing a home or business, they tend to go back to that because it's what they know how to do," Lt. Doug Nolte with the Wichita Police Department said.
Case in point: a business in the 200 block of west 47th street was recently burglarized. On September 18th, police arrested 50 year old Galen Faggitt.
"We have contacted this individual before and he has been arrested before burglary," Lt. Nolte said.
He hasn't just been arrested. Prison records show Gaylen has been in and out of prison for nearly two decades for committing the same crime.
He was convicted of burglary in 1996, 2000, 2004, and 2006. He was released from parole in 2010. Now in 2013 he's been charged with burglary again.
We spoke with Sedgwick county district attorney Marc Bennet, he can't comment on this case specifically because it hasn't gone to trial, but he says the state of Kansas has rules that limit the maximum sentences for different crimes based on their severity. So as long as someone serves their time, they can be given the same exact sentence even if they get arrested for the same crime again.
"If you're victimized and you know that the person that's victimized you has been arrested and or convicted of the crime and is back out doing it it's very frustrating to you as a victim. It's very frustrating to us in law enforcement to have the same people doing the same things," Lt. Nolte said.
According to jail records, Gaylen Faggitt is also being held on assault and drug charges. Again, he district attorney can't talk about this case, but the he did tell us he is trying to bundle cases together against repeat offenders in general so the sentences can be more severe.

When I'm working on things, sometimes I have experimental directories along the way where I don't want to fiddle with version control, I just want to try something out, extract the working part to stick into my actual project, and throw the experiment away.
Sometimes, when I do that, I accidentally leave behind a piece of working code that just didn't make it over the fence into the real project.
For example, I've been working on cloud server deployment lately and, particularly, on Fabric scripts for getting them set up just so.
I recently got back to my main project and found a little note to myself:
def aptitudeAllVCS(): """ Install latest versions of all major D/VCSes Subversion Git Bazaar Mercurial """ # sudo aptitude install subversion git-core bzr mercurial
Now, I'm sure I actually had the command working at one point, so it's in a fabfile.py somewhere.
to find them all, it's a simple matter to just do a quick:
# find . -name fabfile.py
Yup, I've left around a few fabfile.py files. Like about 10. Now…where the heck was that finished routine?
I could try grepping around, hit or miss, but what I really want is to open them all in TextMate and look around to see what else I left around.
So, here's a cute Unix trick I'm pleased to report works just fine with TextMate. Note, you'll have to have installed the `mate` command line utility for this to work. If you haven't, just go into TextMate's preferences and install it before trying this.
# mate `find . -name fabfile.py`
The backticks execute the enclosed command and the output from that command are passed as command line arguments to `mate`.
And, sure as shootin' there they all are! I found my missing code in short order and also found a couple of gems I left behind during my experiments. Yay!
There are several other ways to do this, and you might have to use one of them in some versions of *nix where command line argument length is limited. See the Wikipedia xargs entry for a few variations.
So, I've been using whatever the system provided for fonts forever. The other day, I was searching for something else and came upon this post.
If you spend a lot of time in a text editor, do yourself a favor and try Inconsolata.
Looks great, prints well, good all around.
Reading through the comments, someone mentioned Panic Sans.
I have Coda, and I could use the font in Coda, but the font didn't show up in the font dialog in any other program.
Turns out it's buried inside the Coda application bundle.
Go to Coda.app in Finder, Right-Click->Show Package Contents, then Spotlight "Panic Sans" by file name.
Double the click and install it when it comes up in Font Book and it'll be available everywhere.
I haven't decided between Inconsolata and Panic Sans but I'm liking them both better than Monaco which I've been using for years.
I'm working on several open and not so open source projects in Python these days and am using Sphinx for documentation.
TextMate has a Browser Preview window with the ability to pre-process the editor contents through a script before rendering.
The Sphinx standard input format is reStructuredText as handled by Docutils.
You can install Sphinx with:
# sudo easy_install docutils sphinx
To get TextMate to pre-process the reStructuredText properly before display, check the "Pipe text through" checkbox in the Web Preview window and put the rst2html.py into the textbox for the name of the script.
There will be some issues with "Unknown interpreted text role 'data'" type things but you'll pretty well be able to see what it'll look like.
I may explore making this more accurate and flexible but, for now, this'll do.
I've been using TextMate for several years now and it has always annoyed me that it doesn't have a way of automatically trimming trailing whitespace on save.
I tried the instructions in the documentation, and found another reference to the same ruby method on another blog but they only worked once. The second time I tried to save the file, I got a ruby traceback:
OSERROR: -10000 MESSAGE: Apple event handler failed. COMMAND: app("/Applications/TextMate.app").documents[0].save({:in=>MacTypes::Alias.path("~/file_that_has_changed_in_textmate")}) from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rb-appscript-0.5.1/lib/appscript.rb:642:in `method_missing' from strip.rb:16:in `save_current' from strip.rb:26
Apparently some other people did too and the blogger said he'd look into it but that was in December of 2008 and he's never posted a solution, nor have I found one elsewhere.
Finally, I found this simpler, but less obvious way to accomplish the same thing and it works like a charm.

Criminal Records Checks
Q. I am looking for information regarding CORI checks. I would like to do them annually, and I would like to know if there are other transit agencies that conduct them annually.
A. We have no expertise in the area of criminal records checks. You will need to contact the human resource departments of other transit agencies to see what they are doing in this area.

text: On November 8, 1997, at 1220 Pacific standard time, a Bell 206B, N101LF, registered to Hillsboro Helicopters, Inc. of Hillsboro, Oregon, was observed to break up in midair and descend in an uncontrolled manner to a collision with the terrain while performing a 14 CFR Part 133 rotorcraft external-load flight near Forest Grove, Oregon. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time. The commercial pilot-in-command was not injured, and the helicopter was destroyed in the accident and an ensuing post-crash fire. The flight had departed Hillsboro, about three hours prior to the accident. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reported no record of a flight plan having been filed for the flight.In a written statement, the pilot reported that he was returning to the pick-up area for another load. The pilot stated that he was approximately 50 feet above ground level and traveling between 40 and 50 mph when he began the deceleration process. The pilot pulled power back and heard a loud "bang." The pilot stated that warning horns and lights went off as the helicopter turned to the left and rolled right, subsequently colliding with the trees and terrain. A witness on the ground reported that he was waiting for the helicopter to return for another load and observed the helicopter fly over a ridge line in preparation to descend into the basin. The witness stated that 15 to 16 foot trees lined the ridge. When the helicopter was about 120 yards away from his position, he saw the long line cable and bell swing forward and shoot straight up in front of the cabin. The witness stated that the main rotor blades instantly separated and the helicopter started to descend. The witness heard a loud "screaming" sound, then a loud explosion and observed the helicopter come apart in mid-air. The cabin continued in the same direction that it was traveling and turned up-side down and collided with trees and the terrain. The tail section separated and collided with the terrain near where the witness was standing.An FAA inspector from the Portland Flight Standards District Office, Hillsboro, Oregon, responded to the accident scene and reported the following findings to the NTSB investigator-in-charge (IIC). The inspector reported that he observed extensive damage to one main rotor blade, cable marks on the other main rotor blade, one severed tail rotor blade with cable marks, and that the load line itself was severed from the helicopter. The inspector also reported that the hook on the load line displayed severe impact damage signatures.

Love You With All My Heart
This sweet little girl is Pure Innocence Love You With All My Heart - isn't she adorable? I followed their sketch and stamped her on the Die-namics Tag, You're It die and then colored her with copics and colored pencils. I added some seam binding and a button to the top of the tag. The pretty border was made using the Die-namics Dainty Lace Border die. I finished my card with a couple of hearts and a little button.
Here's the sketch for the My Favorite Things Stamps October Guest Designer challenge. Be sure to stop by and check out the details of their contest because there's still plenty of time to enter.

main sequenceSyllabification: main se·quence
Definition of main sequence in English:
A series of star types to which most stars belong, represented on a Hertzsprung-Russell diagram as a continuous band extending from the upper left (hot, bright stars) to the lower right (cool, dim stars).
Example sentences
- The pressure from these nuclear reactions at the star's core balances the pull of gravity, and the star is now called a main sequence star.
- The Sun is an unusually variable star for its position on the main sequence, something that might explain why Intelligent life is found here, and not everywhere.
- Several million years is a long time in comparison to a human life span, but it is short in comparison to the life span of main sequence stars.

Greatest Guitar Solos of All Time Readers Poll: Round 1 — "Floods" (Dimebag Darrell) Vs. "Hot for Teacher" (Eddie Van Halen)
June 19, 2013 at 9:28am
U guys r outta ur mind. Ed did this solo on the fly and Dime "fucked with it til it sounded right" i could play Floods in my sleep. Try playin HfT and getting the timing right. Itll tak u a while no matter how good u are. Floods is cool in an orchestra kinda way but if ur gonna go there, they shoulda put it up against Cathedral which tops Floods easy. HfT just rocks from a guitar players prospective and Floods is just ho-hum.
June 19, 2013 at 7:29am
If we let influence and all the other externals factor in it will just be Robert Johnson vs Robert Johnson in the finals. My vote is for floods. Let the solo stand on it's own merits.
June 19, 2013 at 1:04am
I voted this win for Dime based on the fact that although EVH can nail excitement in five seconds, Dime based his solo on his band mates... and that is where a good solo comes from. Misfits and Nirvana are perfect examples of this... and even Miami Vice's sound track is a good example. You may be able to play a thousand notes but sometimes you only need a few played on a bad Epi on a crappy amp... but still, give me a hot solo any day!
June 19, 2013 at 12:23am
Solo to Solo. The analog music and digital recording to an individual master track from the solo. You can take a single experience to the choices pieces recorded. Now is there a better solo here no. Why, to cover a wide range of guitarist to the Dime day it's really hasn't reached a next level player. Dime would have been the next podium guitarist. Now if he had accomplished as many albums did by the time of counting 1984 then this would be credible but its not.
June 18, 2013 at 8:21pm
It's okay if Ed loses this round. "Eruption" is the money solo.
June 18, 2013 at 6:28pm
Seems a lot more feeling in floods to my ears.
June 18, 2013 at 4:20pm
Opinions are just opinions but solos are not just solos,they are works of art ......DB will win this one but in all fairness Ed is still the king....this is just for,fun but I,see some dudes get their feathers ruffled.....put on the first Van Halen and smoke a fat one.....then put on cowboys from hell or vulgar display of power.....Dime would have voted for Ed....
June 18, 2013 at 2:36pm
Eddie van Halen all the way everything dimebag did was because of Evh
June 18, 2013 at 12:40pm
I am a die hard EVH fan. I listened to both of these particular solos. I voted for Dimebag! Love Eddie but in this case I heard something special in Dime's solo over Ed's! I'm even shocked at myself!
June 18, 2013 at 12:34pm
I see that the Dimebag fanboys have turned-out in droves for this poll after being posted on Abbott's FB page.
"Floods" is a pretty decent solo, but in NO WAY is it better than the epic blistering solo on "Hot For Teacher".
Unless it also gets posted on VH's page, I call foul.
June 18, 2013 at 7:51pm
Out of everything Dime played, this is probably my second favorite solo (cemetery gates is #1). This is in my top 15 if not top 10 solos of all time. As much as I love EVH hot for teacher's solo just doesn't have the same level of emotion to it. Floods is perfection, hot for teacher is sick, but totally outclassed
June 18, 2013 at 6:11pm
I have a feeling that unfortunately we are going to be seeing more of this facebook fanboy flooding. Remember the last readers GW poll where thanks to the flooding from Queen's facebook, Brian May beat out Page, Beck, Hendrix and everyone else he went up against until he finally got stopped by Eddie Van Halen in the final round. So from here on out these polls are basically going to be about whose facebook gets the "heads up" first, or has more members.
Oh well, it's all done for fun anyway so it doesn't really matter.
June 18, 2013 at 11:10am
As much as I like Dimebag, EVH cannot be beaten. Face it, dudes- every thing that DB brought to the table was planted, grown, fertilized, picked, washed, delivered to the store, and handed to DB by EVH.
June 18, 2013 at 9:43am
"That particular solo was thought-out in a more orchestrated fashion than some of the others I play where I just start ripping right off the bat... The thing that really makes the 'Floods' solo come across like it does is [bassist] Rex's playing behind it. He's using his fingers and he plays a whole bunch of cool licks and shit in there. He definitely adds to the vibe and feel of my lead because I'm playing off his part a lot—it was a great foundation for me to build on... I picked up the idea of doubling from Randy Rhoads. It seemed appropriate to start off in a slow, melodic fashion and then build and build and build to the climax with the big harmonic squeals at the end... For that last big note I think there's four guitars going on. There's a squeal at the second fret of the G string, a squeal at the fifth fret of the G and then I used a DigiTech Whammy Pedal on two-string squeals at the harmonics at the fourth and 12th frets of the G and B strings, I believe. That was one of those deals where I didn't plan it out. I just sat there and fucked with it until it sounded right."
"I winged that one."
June 18, 2013 at 9:32am
As much as I will always love EVH, Dimebag cannot be beaten. For the record, cemetery gates should have won its round. It's easily in my top 5 of all time

Stocks have extended a slide as investors worry that a weak job market will trip up a recovery in the economy.
Stocks have ended moderately lower Wednesday as a private sector report on unemployment fans worries about what is widely seen as the biggest problem facing the economy.
The ADP National Employment Report says employers are cutting fewer workers, but also notes that layoffs are likely to continue.
The Dow is down 30 points at 9,281 after tumbling 186 points Tuesday on worries about banks. The Standard & Poor's 500 index is down 3 at 995. The Nasdaq composite index is down 2 at 1,967.
Three stocks fell for every two that rose on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to 1.4 billion shares.

Acadiana law enforcement officials say they have been inundated with calls of service this morning, including calls to recover drivers and cars from crashes.
According to the Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Office, it responded to 10 crashes between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m. today. The Acadia Parish Sheriff's Office says it has worked 15 crashes caused by black ice since last night. Other agencies, including Louisiana State Police, have also seen an increase in the volume of calls that they have received because of the icy road conditions.
Officials are urging drivers to stay put and not get on local roadways until the ice covering those roads melts. They say although roads may not be closed, it doesn't necessarily mean that they are safe to traverse.

Blu-ray brains create 3D taskforce
The Blu-Ray Disc Association (BDA) has created a taskforce to ease the "integration of 3D technology into the Blu-ray Disc format". Its ultimate aim is to define a standard for stereoscopic 3D content on a Blu-ray Disc, but nothing's yet been mentioned about how this will be achieved or when such a standard could come into force …
Wouldn't it make more sense
to simply record the two images as two image streams? They're definately not pressed for storage space and it would mean that the consumer could use their preferred medium. So you could use Anaglyph, I could use my HMD, Tim in Accounting could use shutter glasses and Joe Bloggs over there could use his £KLots autostereoscopic display. Given the two video feeds it would be really easy (hence cheap) for the Player to have a lot of built-in playback options.
Plus it'd ensure that the disc was entirely compatible with the older 2D Blu-Ray players- it'd just be two blu-ray movies on the one disc.
Blu-ray and 3D
Anyone else picture them going from discs to spheres? Piss off a bunch of early adopters. Wonder what the player would look like... Mine's the one with the buckyballs in the pocket.
The gimmick that won't die.
Could the boffins kindly stop wasting their time trying to force me into wearing glasses over my glasses. And just invent "Better than life" or some kind of Holodeck.
"flexibility and incomparable picture quality"
call me nieve, but i thought that was more due to the content of the disk, than the disk itself?
surely you would get the same "flexibility and incomparable picture quality" on a DVD (or even a cd), maybe even a flash drive/card if the files (videos) were small/short enough.
but maybe im barking up the wrong end of the stick
Having just watched Coraline in 3D (And not the crappy red and blue glasses version of it), I'm all for anything that can emulate that experience in the home cinema environment.
Let's just learn from BluRay/HDDVD, and not have two competing standards.
Or learn from DVD+/DVD-
Or learn from Minidisk/CD....
Or learn from VHS/Betamax...
Why would I want glasses? XScape at Milton Keynes have 3d screens on the ceiling which don't require glasses and they've had them for a year or two. They look just like a plasma screen except the content is 3d. Surely this would be the way to go for home too?
Might be an idea for someone to start selling 3d SLR cameras,compacts, and camcorders so that we have the content ready for this revolution. All they need is to add a second lens a few cm from the first, and modern SLRs control the lens anyway so focusing wouldn't be an issue.
@David - XScape at MK
You mean those screens that if you're a degree off-centre just look blurry?
Oh goody!
Another excuse for the next generation of lard arses to plonk down on the couch and never get up, save for a trip to the fridge for more coke and ice cream!
It's great having the attention span of a gnat when it comes to TV! Great for getting out of having to watch romcoms with the Missus and real bonus not getting suckered into buying another pile of over-hyped techno-crap that will be outdated 30 secs after you get it out of the box!
nope, you're not barking up the wrong tree, in fact you can quite easily fit blu-ray quality video/audio on a dvd, however the processing power the player needs to decompress it just isn't "cost effective"
it's the same way that dvd quality video was put onto cd's by most computer users before writable dvd's became common
I understand that you need slightly more components than just an extra lens... you need movement in the angle between the lenses- just as our eyes go crossed if we try to look at our noses. Also, the auto-focusing on the two lenses must be synched. This level of control is what has kept the price of 3D cameras up. It certainly adds up to more than the sum of two cameras.
All the big action directors of note (ie the ones from the eighties) Spielberg, Lucas, Cameroon and Jackson are excited by 3D filmaking- perhaps becuase it offers a night out that can't be replicated (pirated, shared etc) in a home environment.
You'd want the option to choose your display medium- glassesless "Autostereoscopic" screens are pretty pricey, whereas shutter glasses or polarisation-based solutions aren't.
Also, autostereoscopic displays can only be half the resolution of the equivalent 2D display. Though IMHO SD 3D content looks better than HD 2D.
You honesty think you can fit high quality 1080P on a DVD? The raw amount of data from 1080P is monstrous and even combined with the highly efficient x264 encoder you aren't going to get that onto a multi-layered dvd without compromise.
"it's the same way that dvd quality video was put onto cd's by most computer users before writable dvd's became common"
Oh please tell me you aren't talking about svcds. Not only were they encoded in mpeg2, but they couldn't hold a 2 hour film. Even taking into account mpeg4 which didn't arrive until quite late, you will not end up with 'dvd' quality.
About 104 minutes of Hi-Def on 4.7G DVD
Two picture streams and let the player decide how each gets to each eye.
Not that it is necessary, but you could reuse parts of the left eye image for the right.
You could have a stream of floating objects that can be image/texture mapped, giving a 3D video game look around type mode.
