WOONSOCKET – A veteran Providence litigator has agreed to serve as mediator in attempts to resolve some vexing legal claims between Landmark Medical Center and Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Rhode Island that could affect the sale of the teetering hospital.
William Dolan III is general counsel and chief legal officer for Brown Rudnick LLC, a firm with more than 200 lawyers in five U.S. cities and two more in Europe.
Rescue personnel prepare to take a man to Rhode Island Hospital after he reportedly jumped or fell from the Court Street Bridge Wednesday. Police Capt. Edward Lee said the incident occuring just before 5 p.m. remained under investigation. The man landed in the parking lot behind the Allen Street Condominiums between the Main Street bypass and the Blackstone River. Lee said the man was conscious at the scene while being assisted by rescue personnel, but did not have further information on his condition Wednesday evening.
WOONSOCKET — In a rare move to handle a personnel action in public session, the School Committee on Wednesday voted unanimously to terminate School Department Finance Director Stacey Busby after hearing a recommendation from School Superintendent Giovana Donoyan supporting the action.
The termination of Busby came after School Committee Chairwoman Anita McGuire-Forcier heard no motion from her peers for a move into closed session to consider the sole personnel matter on the evening's agenda.

The video-recorded beating outside the Plaza Village apartment complex was reported to involve a victim the assailants knew and then spent Saturday night with after the attack.
WOONSOCKET – More than 500 residents packed into Hamlet Middle School last night to decry the supplemental tax increase city officials have proposed as a partial solution to a cash crunch that's rushing toward the city like a freight train.

Giants-Steelers out-rates Rays-Phils in on television
I sure hope everyone out there took my advice Sunday and bet the college fund on Giants-Steelers beating Game 4 of the World Series in the TV ratings.
It wasn't close.
Among the 56 major markets measured in overnight ratings, the Giants averaged 15.6 percent of homes and the Series averaged 10.7.
The late afternoon Sunday slot is a ratings blockbuster for the NFL. There is far more competition in the evenings from entertainment programming.
Anyway, you're welcome.
(UPDATE: The national number for Game 4 turned out to be 9.3, improving the average rating through four games to 8.0, on pace for the lowest-rated Series ever. Fox could really use a Tampa Bay victory Monday night.)

29 June - 26 August 2007 at Centennial Square
Dara Gellman and Leslie Peters, Cheryl Sourkes, Jon Thomson and Alison Craighead
Curated by Peter Ride
The artists in this exhibition reflect upon the way that information is available to us through an extraordinarily disparate range of sources, and increasingly through electronic media, such as the Internet. They suggest to us that in a world of visual saturation there are ways to personalize things that otherwise seem random, fleeting or incidental. They also show how, by taking an image, or information, from one source and re-using it, they can completely change its meaning, and how we respond to it as viewers.
Impossible Landscapes by Dara Gellman and Leslie Peters presents an extra-ordinary space that is both haunting and emotionally charged. Weaving together clips from films and documentaries, the artists take the audience on a tour through a landscape of dark foreboding spaces to breathtaking fly-overs that cross strange terrains. They stitch together work from different genres so that the landscape work seems like something we have encountered before, but which is also oddly unfamiliar and disjointed.
Decorative Newsfeeds by Jon Thomson and Alison Craighead uses text sampled live from the Internet. It selects data from the plethora of news information online by tapping into news sites and then presents it in a form that is visually enticing. A dancing ribbon of text unfolds, twirls and cavorts across the screen. The piece becomes a momentary, ever changing, performance. It also reminds us that even data that we might think of as 'straight information' reflects hidden cultural sensibilities.
Cheryl Sourke's Homecammer is a series of prints based on images drawn from online community Websites. Webcam images from these community sites show people night and day at their computers, or offer a glimpse of domestic or work spaces, whatever the Webcam is pointed towards. Many seem intentional but some are apparently unintentional. Sourkes extracts still images from the Web, enhances and prints them. The process bestows on the anonymous and often mundane images an intensity and significance that is fascinatingly at odds with the subject.
One of the distinctive qualities of the art works in this exhibition is that they demonstrate how narratives can be created from otherwise unrelated material. These narratives are created by the artists exploring and re-inventing information, then accumulating and building connections. One aspect of this is that the artists are giving a personal slant to the work, creating a new layer of meaning and a new visual aesthetic. But there is another aspect to the notion of narrative that is a more abstract one. It is achieved by taking the source material out of context, and relying on the audience to deal with the resultant strange dislocation. Although these works are not at all interactive the audience's perception is crucial. It is the response to the aggregation of contexts that imbues the artworks with an intensity the original material could never have had.

AP Golf Writer
PALM HARBOR, Fla. (AP) -- Adam Scott started his week by going to a familiar place with a familiar foe.
Augusta National is where Scott first seriously contended in a major. He made key putts on the back nine in the 2011 Masters and briefly shared the lead late Sunday afternoon until he ran out of holes, signed for a 67 and watched as Charl Schwartzel birdied the last four to win by two.
He took a quick trip to the home of the Masters with Ernie Els, another stark reminder of a close call in the majors. The 31-year-old Australian has done a remarkable job of putting the British Open behind him, though just about everyone else would have a hard time looking at Els and the claret jug without thinking about Scott.
Scott closed with four straight bogeys, and Els wound up with his fourth major championship.
The consolation for Scott was the gracious way he handled such a crushing loss, and how genuinely good he felt for the Big Easy. That much hasn't changed, which is why Scott thought nothing about flying up with Els to Augusta National.
"I think he's an incredible talent and he's one of the best players I've of seen on a golf course," Scott said Friday after his 5-under 66 at Innisbrook, leaving him one shot out of the lead going into the weekend. "I've played so much golf with him and seen him do such incredible things. I think he could have won 10 majors. So he paid his dues, and whether he won it or I helped him win it a little bit, it doesn't matter. He won it.
"Probably eased the pain a little bit that he was a closer friend of mind, and I could feel some happiness for him."
The timing of the trip certainly wasn't awkward, at least not for Scott. One thing his story revealed is that Els must have not been all that injured, for the South African earlier this week pulled out of the Tampa Bay Championship citing a sore hip.
Scott is gearing up toward the Masters, on a road that few others take.
He didn't start his season anywhere in the world until Riviera, and Tampa Bay will be his last official start before the Masters. With a first-round loss in the Match Play Championship, that would give him 13 rounds before Augusta -- still more than Rory McIlroy, but not many competitive rounds before the first major.
"I just try and balance where my game's at, what I'm feeling and if I'm competitive," Scott said. "There's no point just going to play a tournament for the sake of playing a tournament. I'm trying to go and play well every week, and sometimes I have to go and practice at home to get better so I can come back out and be competitive."
He has found this week at Innisbrook that his game is fairly sharp.
The 36-hole leader on the Copperhead course is Shawn Stefani, the 31-year-old rookie who has won at every level, even though some of those levels were tours not many people know. He followed a bogey-free 65 with a hard-earned 70 on Friday, making the putts he felt he was supposed to make and hitting a pair of 5-iron shots into par 3s that yielded good birdies.
Stefani was at 7-under 135.
He was one shot clear of Scott, who played bogey-free, and K.J. Choi, in his second week going to the claw grip. Choi had a 67.
Twenty players were within five shots of the lead at the halfway point, a group that included everyone from Sergio Garcia and Matt Kuchar, to 19-year-old Jordan Spieth and Erik Compton, the two-time heart transplant recipient whose 65 was the low round of the day.
It was the highest score to lead at Innisbrook in five years.
Harris English made four birdies on the tough par 3s to atone for not making up any ground on the par 5s. That gave him a 69, leaving him two shots behind with close friend and fellow Georgia alum Brian Harman (70), and Jason Dufner (66).
Scott was right in the middle of it all, which is where he wants to be. He finished the year by winning the Australian Masters, though it was a month later when he was working on his game at home on the Gold Coast that he experienced a significant turnaround with his short game.

Cincinnati Bengals owner Mike Brown was treated for a minor medical issue in Phoenix and won't attend Sunday night's game against the Arizona Cardinals.
The 79-year-old Brown has been the team's owner since his father, NFL legend Paul Brown, passed away on Aug. 5, 1991. Mike Brown also serves as the team's president and general manager.
"Bengals president Mike Brown had a minor medical situation this morning in Phoenix," the Bengals said in a statement. "He is being treated, and for precautionary purposes, he will not attend this evening's game against the Arizona Cardinals. He will travel back to Cincinnati shortly."
Last month, Brown announced he was ceding more day-to-day control to head coach Marvin Lewis and his daughter, executive vice president Katie Blackburn.

10 Seeds of Change in 10 Minutes or Less
Posted on January 6th, 2011 in seeds of change |
We all want to be greener more earth-friendly, we really do. But, in the day to day grind of being a parent, working and just getting to tomorrow, it's easy to put off our eco-friendly decisions. Here at Dandelion, we are committed to what we call Seeds of Change, little tiny baby steps we can all do to start change. Building on these seeds is important, but it's most important to plant a few seeds first. Here are our top 10 ideas for seeds of change this year, we welcome your ideas in the comments!
1. Turn off your computer at night. The Daily Green estimates that this will save you $90 a year in electricity, and it's better for your computer too.
2. Turn off the water. It's easy to leave the water running when you brush your teeth, or delay fixing a leaky toilet. Make a conscious effort to use the leftover water in your reusable water bottle to water a plant, or set up a rainwater collection system for your garden. Kids will enjoy seeing how much water they saved each day and deciding what plant to grace with the extra love.
3. Buy locally. Get to know one new local business each month. You can get carried away and take the kids to visit the farm or start a challenge to buy a certain percentage of your food locally, but in 10 minutes it's easy to add one new business to your local favorites.
4. Reduce plastic. All those plastic bags add up. One less baggie in your child's lunch every day makes a huge difference. One reusable water bottle makes for how many plastic ones saved? A lot. My Plastic Free Life has hundreds of tips and plenty of motivation if you need help. The story of how Beth started her plastic-free journey is inspiring — read it.
5. Send e-cards. you want to say thank you, happy birthday or just wish someone hello, but paper cards are not very good for Mother Earth. Decide if the greeting would be just as impactful with an e-card. If you want to send paper, check out some earth-friendly recommendations from Celebrate Green.
6. Plant something. Anything. Sure, we all probably need an organic garden, but baby steps are fine too. Grow an herb on the window sill or let the kids each pick a packet at the garden store and grow whatever they want. It's important for our children to know what growing food looks like, to play in the dirt, and to learn how to garden. Even if it's just a window box.
7. Buy used. Get to know Craigslist and Freecycle. It only takes 10 minutes (or less) to see if someone is selling what you're looking for. You'll save money, meet cool people, and feel better about your purchase. While you're at it, list something you need to get rid of.
8. Take off your shoes. Leaving your shoes at the door is one of the most important steps in keeping toxins out of your home. It saves on cleaning too. Making your own cleaning products is easy and inexpensive. The kids will love pouring the ingredients together and many homemade cleaning products actually work better than store-bought.
9. Say no to receipts. How many times can you say no to a receipt in a month? Gas pumps, ATMs and other transactions don't require printing a receipt. Keep track on the calendar and reward yourself when you reach a milestone.
10. Bring your own mug. A world without coffee would be pretty harsh for many of us, so the next time you hit your favorite coffee shop, take your own travel mug, and keep a couple spare mugs in the car. Your coffee will stay hotter longer and you'll feel better when you don't have to toss the cup, lid and heat shield.
Here at Dandelion, we already have taken a lot of steps to go green. We scan all documents and save digitally and use halogen lights in our warehouse. We centralized all garbage – eliminating all the small bags everywhere and set up a recycling station in office center. All desks also have recycle bins for all paper and we have skylights in the warehouse to eliminate indoor lighting as much as possible – our electric bill has reduced over 53%! We are changing over our phone systems to VOIP to eliminate our PBX, all our calls are tracked digitally now and we replaced all bathroom hand soaps to refill units. We only order paper supplies – like laser paper, paper towels, toilet paper have high recycled content and we have centralized our necessary printing to eliminate all desk printers except essential ones – reducing toners – plus all toner cartridges are sent to be recycled. We also offset our carbon footprint for all shipping in and out through carbonfund.org.
GREAT first steps and love the idea that you think of them as seeds–from tiny seeds giant sequoias grow! Thank you for including us too. There are so many small seeds that will make a difference.

My little boy would love the brunette doll! We already take our shoes off before entering the house, and ask our guests to do so as well. I am currently striving to buy local and eat more whole foods. I've eliminated meat from my diet, and I'm working toward a 100% whole food diet. Right now, we do consume some processed foods, but I'm more aware of it and working toward a healthier diet for my three boys, husband, me, and Mother Earth.

Wonderful apartment in the countryside
December 23, 2009
Beautiful apartment situated in the luscious Slovene countryside. Great facilities including cooker/hob, all required cutlery/crockery and TV with cable in the kitchen, and power shower in new bathroom. The owner was absolutely lovely and made us feel very welcome. A wonderful home-from-home property and a great escape from the bustle of the city. Beautifully decorated with a very comfy double bed and also comfy lounge furniture. Parking space was also very handy.
Wonderful spot for a vacation in Slovenia. Good locatin (5 min from Bohiny lake; 20 min from Bled), full equipped kitchen and comfortable beds, great garden and playground for the kids. Very clean and peaceful place. Few minutes walk from the river and bicycle track around Bohiny lake. Friendly and helpful oweners. We had a great time during our vacation in July 2013.
-gallina_mess on 07/14/2013
Love it!! Very quiet and peacefull place, the owners are very friendly and we love that they allow dogs :) It is very modern and worth every euro that we payed! We recommend the place!!
-Mayma_dread on 03/18/2013
I was two times in the apartment and all I can say is that I was more than satisfied. The rooms were very clean, comfortable and spacy. The owners are very friendly and helpful. There is a free-wifi. The homemade breakfast was excellent.The location is very peaceful, with nice alpine view and village atmosphere. There Next to the apartment there is a nice alpine river. The sound of the river is very refreshing.The logistic position of the place is also good. Bled is only 20 minutes faraway by car, Bohinj Lake is 10 minutes far away by car. I definetly recommend this place and I am sure that I will revisit this place.

My office released a report last week that found the 2012 graduation and transfer rate at Nassau Community College (NCC) dropped to 28 percent: less than one third of NCC students finished their degrees or transferred to a four-year college. NCC went from being one of the best community colleges in New York in 2009 to one of the worst in 2012, when it ranked 31st out of 35 community colleges in New York State.
The steep decline in graduations and transfers at NCC should be of concern to every taxpayer in Nassau County and to the 23,000 students who enroll at NCC hoping to receive a quality college education at a reasonable price. NCC is funded primarily through student tuition, state aid and Nassau County taxpayer money, receiving more than $52 million from the County in 2012.
Historically, NCC has provided high quality, affordable education, serving as an essential alternative to costly private colleges and universities for many Nassau residents. It ranked at or above the state average through 2009, and as high a 9th in the State as recently as 2005. The recent results are more than disappointing. NCC has obviously lost its way and is failing our students. This is unacceptable and must change.
The decline in NCC's performance appears to have occurred during a period of prolonged administrative turmoil following 27 years of stable management at the College. The apparent turmoil stemmed from a conflict between the new president and faculty regarding decision-making on academic matters. This long-running conflict eventually led to the president's early departure in July 2012.
There has been no permanent president at the College since. The current acting president, Dr. Kenneth Saunders, was appointed Acting Officer-in-Charge of the College in July 2012 and Acting President of the College in January 2013. NCC has gone too long without a permanent president with authority and support from the Board of Trustees, to the obvious detriment of thousands of students.
The appointment of Dr. Saunders or another highly qualified individual to permanent president is long overdue. It is time to restore NCC to being one of the best community colleges in New York.
Our students and tax dollars deserve better.
A full version of the report can be found on my website. http://www.nassaucountyny.gov/agencies/Comptroller/index.html

Sir Alex Ferguson has paid tribute to former United player Albert Scanlon, who has died at the age of 74.
Born in Hulme on 10 October 1935, Scanlon came through the United youth system and made his debut for Matt Busby's first team in 1954, at the tender age of 19 – hence his inclusion in the group of players known as the 'Busby Babes'.
Outside forward Scanlon survived the Munich disaster in 1958 and went on to feature in all 42 league games for the Reds the following season.
Sir Alex said: "I have known Albert since I came to Manchester United and he was always a pleasant and delightful man. He was always cheery and never lost his sense of humour despite the experience he had, and to come through that shows his strength of character.
"He will be a great loss, as he was a popular man, and our condolences go to his family."
A title winner in 1956 and 1957, Scanlon was on the ill-fated flight from Belgrade to Manchester following a European Cup match in February 1958.
When the plane crashed after refuelling in Munich, Scanlon was among the survivors while eight of his team-mates and 15 other passengers and crew lost their lives.
Fellow survivor Sir Bobby Charlton was extremely saddened to hear of the death of his former team-mate, adding: "It was with enormous sadness that I received the news of Albert's passing.
"He was a part of Manchester United folklore and was always a popular figure with the fans, especially because he was a Manchester lad.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Obama administration says it's enlisting community health centers in the drive to sign up uninsured people under the new health care law.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced Wednesday that more than 1,100 health centers in all 50 states will share $150 million in grants for outreach. It's the largest pot of federal money for in-person enrollment assistance.
The centers provide basic primary health care to millions of people, usually in low-income communities. Their clients are also one of the main target groups for President Barack Obama's health care law, which is eventually expected to cover 25 million to 30 million uninsured people.
Enrollment starts Oct. 1, and benefits kick in Jan. 1. Republicans in Congress are trying to deny funds for carrying out the expansion.

Welcome to BLIMBINGSARI VILLAGE, JEMBRANA REGENCY
Blimbingsari started to be opened for settlement on November 30th, 1939 by inhabitants from various villages in Central Bali, East Bali, and North Bali. The village has been growing rapidly in education, culture, and economy.
During the Dutch colonial period a concerted effort was made to preserve, then promote certain Balinese cultural ways in order to create an attractive image for the purposes of tourism. As far as the Dutch were concerned, Catholic and Protestant missionaries didn't belong in such an image. Initially all missionaries were banned from pushing their ideas on the island but by the early 1930s, some inroads were made and a very small Christian community began to emerge.
Not surprisingly, this "new" community created tensions with both the local Hindu population and the Dutch secularists and in 1939 the colonialists decided to shift the missionaries to two very remote locations in the mountains of far West Bali. At the time there was nothing at either location and both were built from scratch — a particularly impressive achievement.
The exiles formed two communities some five kilometres apart — Blimbingsari for the Protestants and Palasari for the Catholics — over time the former developed into a missionary training centre and also home to the largest church on the island.
From the moment you enter the grand stone arch of Blimbingsari, you notice manicured grass verges, concrete flower pots every 50m and every driveway to every house concreted — everything looks so orderly and the people obviously take pride in their town. Looking further into the properties lining the road you notice beautifully maintained buildings with lush tropical gardens, crosses above the front doors and quite often a car parked in the driveway. This town is clearly more prosperous than those surrounding and it feels strangely suburban and comfortable. The centre point of Blimbingsari is the stunning Protestant church which could easily be mistaken for a Balinese Hindu temple if not for the sign out the front and a few crosses on the roof.

Ron Littlefield, City of Chattanooga MayorPhoto by Patrick Smith /Chattanooga Times Free Press.
Mayor Ron Littlefield says he'll keep fighting recall efforts against him and plans to keep raising money to do it.
The mayor is facing increasing legal bills as his battle against recallers proceeds through the court system. The two-time mayor, however, thinks he can gather support.
"Even fans who aren't big fans of Ron Littlefield are interested in ending this for the good of the city," he said.
But the only two ends in sight at this point are either a recall election in August 2012 or the regular mayoral election set for March 2013.
The mayor has been in court struggles over the recall for more than a year. They started when he filed a lawsuit to stop the Hamilton County Election Commission from deciding whether to certify recall petitions against him. Circuit Judge Jeff Hollingsworth ruled in his favor and stopped the process in October 2010.
Two months later, the group Citizens to Recall Mayor Littlefield, one of the groups involved in the recall, filed an appeal with the Tennessee Court of Appeals. The state court decided last month that the election commission should have had a chance to ratify the petitions.
With that ruling in hand, the commission certified the petitions last month and set the recall election for August 2012.
Littlefield filed an appeal on the election commission's actions to the state Court of Appeals, but it turned down rehearing the case.
The mayor faces the possible recall election after three groups -- Citizens to Recall Mayor Littlefield, Chattanooga Tea Party and Chattanooga Organized for Action -- started a petition drive last summer. The groups collected more than 15,000 signatures and the election commission ratified more than 9,000.
But Littlefield, whose only income is his annual mayoral pay of $146,000, will have to go with his hand out to past and possibly future donors to continue his legal battle. The mayor has said he's not a "wealthy man."
"It certainly doesn't make me happy," he said. "I'll have to go out and raise money again."
Jim Folkner, with Citizens to Recall Mayor Littlefield, said Littlefield doesn't have to fight the recall. The mayor could spend the money on a campaign to keep his job, he said, and Littlefield is the "one who keeps going back to court."
"He doesn't have to spend a dime," Folkner said. "It's his choice."
Littlefield has already held one fundraiser, an event in September at the home of Capital Ford dealership owner Bob McKamey. Patrons were charged $250 for dinner and a movie detailing recall efforts across the country.
The mayor has not announced how much money was raised at the event.
A poll of some past donors to his re-election campaign in 2009 shows a mixed bag of support.
Fletcher Bright, owner of Fletcher Bright Realty and fiddle player for the Dismembered Tennesseans band, contributed $1,000 to Littlefield's re-election, the highest amount allowed. Bright said he also contributed to the mayor's legal defense and may do so again.
"I think a recall is a pretty stringent penalty," Bright said. "I don't see what he's done ... I'd probably give him some more money. I feel sorry for him."
Recallers have said they started the process due to an increase in stormwater fees, property taxes and gang violence in the city.
Bernard Gloster, of Hixson, said he contributed $1,000 to Littlefield's re-election, but he's not going to give to the legal fund. Littlefield's legal troubles have left him balking at giving anymore out of his paycheck, Gloster said.
"I'd have to see where it goes," he said.
Local sculptor John Henry, who gave $1,000 to the mayor's re-election campaign, said he hasn't been asked to contribute for the legal defense. He said he thinks the mayor has been "maligned" for no reason.
"Has he done anything criminal?" Henry asked.
But he said he is also leery of any recall election in August 2012 and that anyone who runs against Littlefield is simply a part of the recall.
"I would just see that as part of the obstructive process," he said.
Mayor LittleFIEND clearly demonstrates misuse of others persons money by being combative in a democratic process that has been drafted by city charter. This man is clearly grabbing for straws and trying any and all loopholes that he can find to preserve his narcissistic ego.
Chattanooga Times Free Press: Please make sure to follow up and see if Littlefield reports these "donations" on his tax return. Thankee.
The only reason these "donors" are contributing money is because they are being promised something. Sure the sculpture man John Henry will support Littlefield, he is being paid back tenfold when his "sculptures" are bought with hard earned City taxpayer money. Littlefield is like a tick, he just keeps biting and digging in and spreading his disease, which will linger long after he is finally dug out and flushed down the toilet.
Quid Pro Quo is very unethical in public service!
On the federal level, the Hobbs Act (18 U.S.C.A. § 1951 [1994]) makes it a felony for a public official to extort property under color of office. Trading campaign contributions for promises of official actions or inactions are also prohibited under the act.
Attention to the Crutchfiled machine and the Dan Johnson Republicans (Wamp that includes you): This is your mayor who is annexing with no ability to provdie the services to the area, spending federal money on "preferred" projects to pay back for votes and is vindictive because his precious attempt to have one government has been rejected. Thanks to the Tea Party for keeping this joke on the way out!
Most of us still don't understand the purpose for the recall. The recallers seem to jump from one excuse to another. However, the core reasons for the recalls appear to be centered around annexation and requiring police to pay for their take home cars. The rest appears to have been thrown in as an after thought of sorts and to dupe voters, they'd have ignored otherwise, into signing the petition.
My neighbor signed that recall petition. Once on his front porch, once at his job and again on the side of the road next to the election commission building. When I asked why he felt the need to do it he said the petition holder told him they needed all they could get ---- seems like justices to me!
Hmmmm! Interesting, ScoopAway. That means your friends' signature was counted 3 times? Wonder if the election commission looked closely enough to make sure registered voters signed only once? Everyone's been saying all along those signatures should be closely looked at. Some have said some of the signatures showed obvious forgery even to the untrained eye.
The jury is still out on who the bigger idiot is: Mayor Ron Littlefield, or anyone stupid enough to give him money for his legal defense?

Google discontinuing FTP support for Blogger blogs
Love it or hate it, Blogger was the tool that really brought blogging into the mainstream. Once upon a time, the only way to have your blog hosted on your own domain was to use Blogger as the content management system, but then have it use FTP to push HTML pages to your web host.
Fast forward to 2010, and it turns out that only half of one percent of Blogger's users are using Blogger's FTP upload ability, but maintaining that functionality is consuming considerably more than that percentage of Blogger's engineering resources. Worse, Google is dropping the infrastructure that Blogger uses to push out FTP updates, which would then require a complete rewrite of the code that handles Blogger's FTP processing.
So, Google has decided to drop FTP support from Blogger. Though the numbers clearly show that overall it's not that popular, I think some people still think Blogger's killer feature is the ability to FTP plain HTML files.
The one saving grace is that if you are currently hosting a site that is updated by Blogger with FTP, you're not going to lose anything except the ability to continue to update the site - if it's an old site, it will keep on keepin' on. That's the beauty of HTML files. If you are still actively blogging, however, you'll want to check out the new Blogger FTP blog they've set up to try to help migrate users to their custom domains solution.

Friday, 11 May 2012 00:00"A school district is no better than the community that it serves and vice versa."
That is what Chip Zaino, Sr. said to me when I was first elected to the board. The statement is profound as it is simple. The fact is that we cannot get a better community without a better school district and the citizens of the community are responsible for their school district.
May 15 is our school budget and trustee election. If you want a better school system or if you want a better community,you need to participate in this voting process or you abdicate your interest to those that may not necessarily be aligned to what is good for our community.
From my perspective, the only way to get what is in our collective interest is to do the following: vote no in May, vote yes in June, and vote for candidates that have the community's interest at heart.
What is different this year and for subsequent years to come is if the budget fails in May and again in June, the tax levy will not increase over last year's levy. That is significant! That is why you see an unprecedented effort by interested parties campaigning to get a passed budget on the first try. These parties do not want to compromise on salary increases, work rules, lost jobs, or other amenities for which they feel they are entitled. Their interest may not be in our best interest as a community. Likewise, voting no because one is exhausted in paying taxes, as painful as it is for me to say, is not necessarily in our interest either.
Hence, a good option may be to push the budget vote to sudden death – that is to say no in May to make the interested parties come to the table with the community to get a budget and school improvement plan that is aligned with the community's interest. We can approve the spending plan for the district in June after we are confident that our interests are represented.
My other suggestion is to focus on the candidates for school board and elect the ones that only represent the interest of the community as a whole. Doing that makes the sudden death option unnecessary for future election. We all have a collective interest to make our community and school system great. This may be the best alternative to get us on the right path for the future.

Immediate Release: October 1, 2004
DURHAM, N.H.--Host New Hampshire (5-4-2, 1-0 America East) scored the game-winner 3:09 into the second overtime period to knock off Binghamton (6-2-1, 0-1 AE) in the women's soccer conference opener for each school Friday afternoon.
The Wildcats, picked to finish third in the pre-season poll (BU was selected eighth of 10), rallied from a 2-1 halftime deficit to remain unbeaten against the Bearcats in the all-time series (2-0-2).
a very disappointing loss," head coach Jeff Leightman said.
"We played a pretty good first half and controlled play.
The game-tying goal wasn't a great goal and the winner was from
far out on an angle. It's just a shame because I thought we played
well enough to win."
As time wound down in regulation, the Wildcats netted the equalizer on a 30-yard shot to the far post with just 7:03 left on the clock.
In overtime, New Hampshire held a 5-2 margin in shots, but Mathelier almost ended the contest with her third tally of the game, but the goal was called back on a hand ball. Then early in the second extra-session, the Wildcats attacked down the left wing and ended the affair with a 35-yard blast to the far post.
Hampshire owned a 20-16 shot advantage.

Mass Appeals
Marc Nathan Wants Comic-Con To Catalyze Comic Books Return As Pop Entertainment
Nathans faith in the local comic-book scene led him to start the Baltimore Comic-Con six years ago. At the time, having a comic-book show in Baltimore was a no-brainer. The Mid-Atlantic region didnt have a big convention despite a wealth of artists such as Steve Conley and John Gallagher in Arlington, Va., Pop Mhan and the Luna Brothers near Washington, Jimmy Gownley in Harrisburg, Pa., and Frank Cho in Elkridge. The fact that the worlds largest distributor of English-language comics, Diamond Comic Distributors Inc., sits just to the citys north in Timonium didnt hurt either.
Baltimore gives us a home-field advantage, Nathan says.
In his own small way, Nathan hopes to change the course of the comics industry. Despite a recent rush of hit moviesboth superhero flicks and those based on more indie fare such as Ghost World and Road to Perditioncomics are still very much underground, with the hottest titles selling less than a quarter of what they sold in the golden age of the 1930s and 1940s, when comics were a mass media.
Today you cant even find comics on newsstands at your local pharmacy or at corner stores. Instead, they have become a niche market, purchased mostly by grown men at specialty storeseven the mainstream titles that Diamond distributes. But Nathan believes that comics are a true entertainment that can appeal to every demographic and cross every genre, from romance and humor to science fiction and drama. The trick is making everyone else realize that.
Since its humble beginnings in 1999, the Baltimore Comic-Con has grown considerably into a full-fledged event that attracts thousands of attendees and a roster of mainstream artists and publishers such as DC Comics and Image. And this year Nathan hopes to make an even bigger impact by teaming up with Diamond and SPX, a well-known small-press comics festival held annually in Bethesda.
After the Baltimore Comic-Con, Diamond holds a retailers summit, where comic-shop owners from all over the region can hear publishers such as DC and Marvel pitch their upcoming projects. Then SPX, which this year features American Splendor writer Harvey Pekar as special guest, begins four days later.
Nathan and SPX executive director Steve Conley decided to hold their shows on adjoining weekends in order to lure retailers, artists, and publishers to the area and keep them here. This is all part of the plan between Steve and I, Nathan says.
Their ultimate goal is even grander: to get every man, woman, and child reading comic books.
When Marc Nathan started the Baltimore Comic-Con, the industry was just beginning to recover from a market bust a few years earlier, culminating in Marvelhome of Spider-Man, the X-Men, and the Fantastic Fourgoing bankrupt in 1996.
In the early 90s, comic books had looked like they might finally go mainstream, with single issues selling millions of copies for the first time since the 1940s. A new X-Men No. 1, which Marvel Comics released in 1991 with five different covers, sold 7.5 million copies.
But the boom was mainly fueled by speculators, people who bought multiple copies of hot titles hoping they would shoot up in value. Its very clear that a lot of speculators in trading cards came over to our industry, says Jeff Vaughn, executive editor of Gemstone, a division of Diamond that publishes the Official Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide.
To feed the interest, publishers kept coming out with more and more outlandish marketing ploys, such as publishing comics with foil covers or packaging them with collectible trading cards. In a move that grabbed media coverage all over the world, DC Comics killed off Superman in 1993, only to bring him back a short time later.
But with so many comics glutting the market, they failed to appreciate in value. Investors were left with boxes of books they couldnt sell, and longtime readers, disgusted with the gimmicky stories, stopped collecting as well. The comics bubble popped.
What happened with the dot-coms four years [prior] was happening in comics, Conley says.
It wasnt the first time that comics had died. In the 1950s, Dr. Fredric Wertham and his book Seduction of the Innocent, which charged that comics contributed to juvenile delinquency, nearly wiped out the industry. But like punk rock, comics always flirt with mainstream success before dying and being reinvented for a new generation.
Comics have a track record of having been pronounced dead five times in their history, Vaughn says.
Around the same time that comics bubble burst, however, Diamondfounded in 1982 by Steve Geppi, the companys president, who didnt respond to phone calls for this articlewas solidifying itself as a major force in the industry. In the early 1990s, Diamond was one of a handful of national comic-book distributors. But when Marvel decided to distribute its own comics in 1994, many of Diamonds competitors, now lacking their biggest publisher, folded. Diamond survived by signing the other big three publishersDC, Dark Horse, and Imageto exclusive contracts. After Marvels experiment with self-distribution failed, it too signed an exclusive contract, making Diamond ipso facto the distributor most comic stores depend on for their merchandise. It became comics Clear Channel, its Universal Music Group. Diamond really was the only game in town, Conley says.
SPX formed in 1994 partially as a response to consolidation in the industry. Independent creators were worried that with only one major distributor their work had less chance of getting noticed. They now had to be accepted into Diamonds enormous catalog, dominated mostly by big companies such as DC and Marvel, to have any chance of getting into comic stores. Suddenly, Diamonds vice president was giving the state of the industry speech at SPX.
That gave you a sense of the kind of authority they had, Conley says. Diamond was the man.
Over the years, though, Diamond has earned the respect of cartoonists and retailers. Conley says the company does everything possible to help small creators get into its catalog, including setting up a panel of retailers to evaluate new submissions.
Diamond is one of the best distributors in any industry Ive ever seen, says Chris Staros, co-publisher of Marietta, Ga.-based Top Shelf Productions, which puts out critically acclaimed graphic novels like From Hellmade into a 2001 motion picture staring Johnny DeppBlankets, and Owly.
Staros formed Top Shelf with his partner, Brett Warnock, at SPX in 1997. He has also attended the Baltimore Comic-Con since the beginning, when it was a small, one-day show at the Towson Sheraton. Starting out, Staros and Warnock decided to focus on graphic novels, which they saw as the future of the industry.
Graphic novels are kind of the hip thing right now, Staros says. Theyve helped redefine what comics are. Theyre not just superhero oriented.
While the Baltimore Comic-Con retains a more mainstream feel, SPX is dedicated to the independent creators and publishers. The small convention doesnt allow retailers to set up tables, focusing the spotlight squarely on the cartoonists.
Its a great show, says Eric Reynolds, spokesman for Seattle-based Fantagraphics Books, which puts out work by underground cartoonists such as Daniel Clowes and R. Crumb. Its one of the few shows in North America thats more focused on the art form.
At one point, the two conventions considered merging, but in the end decided against it. I think that would have diluted the value of SPX, Reynolds says. Im glad to see them coexist.
Though comics started to bounce back in 2000, graphic novels have experienced double-digit growth the past three years running. Graphic novels are so popular in bookstores such as Barnes and Noble and Borders that Publishers Weekly has included them in its regular coverage. This is the growth area in mainstream bookstores, Vaughn says.
And with the help of hit movies such as Spider-Man and Batman Begins, the public has a renewed interest in comics. Shelley Myers, executive director of marketing at Diamond, says comic shops sold more than 90 million comic books and graphic novels last year at a retail value of approximately $325 million, a 10 percent increase over 2003.
But despite these gains, circulation on individual titles is nowhere near the level of the early 90s. The best-selling title this year, All Star Batman and Robin, sold just over 260,000 copies. All of which begs the question: If 40 million people see Spider-Man the movie, why wont 1 million pick up Spider-Man the comic? Staros thinks people still view comic books as mostly for geeks and fan boys, something that doesnt happen in Japan, where manga is huge.
In France and Japan, comics are read by everyone and theres no stigma, Staros says.
One way to get rid of the stigma is to get more people reading comic books when theyre young. Today, though the medium is historically considered childrens entertainment, the average comic-book reader is well over 21.
Nathan hopes to reach children by allowing students into the Baltimore Comic-Con on Sunday for free with a paying adult. Hes also running a series of how-to workshops to teach kids everything from drawing to inking. To get the word out, Nathan put posters and fliers in Baltimore-area libraries.
Were not just here for a day, Nathan says. Were trying to do something thats much more long term.

When I was asked to photograph Jo and Rachel's big day I was soooooo excited! First wedding with two brides and two frocks!! Jo & Rach are so much fun and quirky…I was a very giddy lady. Their wedding took place at Nottingham Trent University where Rachel studied and the city where they first met. Here's some words from the girls and info about the day along with some of my fav shots.. The dresses were from The Wedding Club in Birmingham. They had a pianist during the ceremony – he played Moon River on the way in, and Angry Anderson's "Suddenly" on the way out. During the drinks reception 1930s big band tunes were played and in the evening DJ (MC Productions), and an Elvis tribute act (booked throughAlive Network) he was brilliant and had everybody up busting some shapes. Rachel's bouquet was made up of ivory roses and purple lissianthus. Jo's bouquet was hand made (by Jo) with vintage brooches. Flowers were by Zinc Floral Design, and Annette's flower stall in Nottingham. One of the readings was a poem written for Rachel by Jo and they had photos of their parents' weddings on display; the men had waistcoats made from family tartans; and the girls took care of two bay trees and two olive trees for six months – so that they could be draped with fairy lights on the day and the university girls recreated their graduation photo – 15 years' later! "We used a sketch of the venue on our invitations and that carried through all the stationery. Our ceremony was held in the Old Chemistry Theatre, and the reception was in the Old Library so we tried to pick up on these details. Everyone's place card was a bookmark with a personalised quote chosen just for them. It took ages to do this, but it was worth it on the day – everyone took them home as a memento of the day" You can also see their wedding blogged on bridesupnorth by clicking on this link.

DENVER (AP) - Carmelo Anthony scored 35 points and the Denver Nuggets pulled away in the final five minutes to beat the Orlando Magic 111-94 despite J.J. Redick's career-high 29 points.
With Denver leading 92-91, Arron Afflalo's 3-pointer jump-started the Nuggets on a 19-3 run to close out the game.
Anthony hit 14 of 21 shots from the floor and pulled down 11 rebounds. Nene had 10 points and 10 boards for the Nuggets, who were coming off a 1-3 trip and improved to an NBA-best 11-1 at home.
Anthony's three-point play put Denver on top 98-91 moments before Nene and Dwight Howard drew a double-technical for shoving each other under the Magic's basket. Anthony added a rim-rattler of a dunk.
