Can I get a version compatible with Mac Os X 10.6?
I have Mac os X 10.6. I downloaded todoist, but it only works with Mac OS X 10.7 or higher. Is there an earlier version that I can download and use with Mac OS X 10.6?
All responses
Hello Pauline,
Yes, you can use an older version: http://files.wedoist.com/dbb88e0cacd358c4bb31da36b438475a/as/TodoistApp.zip but please note that it's no longer supported by us and won't be updated in the future.
Best regards,
Brilliant. Thanks so much for keeping this available David. I need to keep some computers on Snow leopard for access to some other scientific PowerPC software that won't be updated. Much appreciated.
I'm in the same situation. I have a new Mac running OS 10.8, but I'm still using an old one with 10.6 so I can use some older software.
Thanks for keeping the old version available. That's very helpful.
thank you thank you!!! 10.6.8 for as long as i can hold out! ^_^
sooooo.... after trying out the app, it seems to bee a whitelabel browser (browsa??) and not really a custom app. may be better sticking with chrome. :-S
Hi Christian,
The early versions of the Mac app doesn't have any differentiating feature from the web app but the latest one actually takes advantage of several OSX 10.10 Yosemite features.

I reckon she'll be fine now it's all over and done with and will get back to normal.
Agreed. I think her reactions were just a mixture of nerves, relief and then joy. Also, she's carried the film on her own an such with regards to award wins, aside from at the Golden Globes, so I imagine that added more pressure. If she didn't win, than the film would barely have been recognised.

Intoxication affects individuals differently. Some people can hold their alcohol better than others.

Tracking Productivity in Real Time
|November 2006 Volume 12, Number 8
|JEL classification: O4, O51, C32
Authors: James A. Kahn and Robert W. Rich
Because volatile short-term movements in productivity growth obscure the underlying trend, shifts in this trend may go unrecognized for years—a lag that can lead to policy mistakes and hence economic instability. This study develops a model for tracking productivity that brings in additional variables to help reveal the trend. The model's success is evident in its ability to detect changes in trend productivity within a year or two of their occurrence. Currently, the model indicates that the underlying trend remains strong despite recent weak productivity data.

The owner or operator in charge of any vessel covered by this chapter is required to ensure that the vessel under their ownership or control complies with the reporting and sampling requirements of this section. (1) Vessels covered by this chapter must report ballast water management information to the department using ballast water management forms that are acceptable to the United States coast guard. The frequency, manner, and form of such reporting shall be established by the department by rule. Any vessel may rely on a recognized marine trade association to collect and forward this information to the department. (2) In order to monitor the effectiveness of national and international efforts to prevent the introduction of nonindigenous species, all vessels covered by this chapter must submit nonindigenous species ballast water monitoring data. The monitoring, sampling, testing protocols, and methods of identifying nonindigenous species in ballast water shall be determined by the department by rule. A vessel covered by this chapter may contract with a recognized marine trade association to randomly sample vessels within that association's membership, and provide data to the department. (3) Vessels that do not belong to a recognized marine trade association must submit individual ballast tank sample data to the department for each voyage. (4) All data submitted to the department under subsection (2) of this section shall be consistent with sampling and testing protocols as adopted by the department by rule. (5) The department shall adopt rules to implement this section. The rules and recommendations shall be developed in consultation with advisors from regulated industries and the potentially affected parties, including but not limited to shipping interests, ports, shellfish growers, fisheries, environmental interests, interested citizens who have knowledge of the issues, and appropriate governmental representatives including the United States coast guard. In recognition of the need to have a coordinated response to ballast water management for the Columbia river system, the department must consider rules adopted by the state of Oregon when adopting rules under this section for ballast water management in the navigable waters of the Columbia river system. (a) The department shall set standards for the discharge of treated ballast water into the waters of the state. The rules are intended to ensure that the discharge of treated ballast water poses minimal risk of introducing nonindigenous species. In developing this standard, the department shall consider the extent to which the requirement is technologically and practically feasible. Where practical and appropriate, the standards shall be compatible with standards set by the United States coast guard and shall be developed in consultation with federal and state agencies to ensure consistency with the federal clean water act, 33 U.S.C. Sec. 1251-1387. (b) The department shall adopt ballast water sampling and testing protocols for monitoring the biological components of ballast water that may be discharged into the waters of the state under this chapter. Monitoring data is intended to assist the department in evaluating the risk of new, nonindigenous species introductions from the discharge of ballast water, and to evaluate the accuracy of ballast water exchange practices. The sampling and testing protocols must consist of cost-effective, scientifically verifiable methods that, to the extent practical and without compromising the purposes of this chapter, utilize easily measured indices, such as salinity, or check for species that indicate the potential presence of nonindigenous species or pathogenic species. The department shall specify appropriate quality assurance and quality control for the sampling and testing protocols.

PECAN PLANTATION, TEXAS. Pecan Plantation is a residential community located about nine miles southeast of Granbury in southeastern Hood County. This development was once part of the Leonard Bend Farm in the De Cordova Bend of the Brazos River. In the late 1940s Leonard Brothers department store cofounder Obadiah Paul Leonard purchased approximately 4,000 acres to establish a pecan orchard. Eventually his children and their families became part owners of the Leonard Bend Farm, and during the late 1960s De Cordova Bend Dam was constructed on part of the farm for the impoundment of Lake Granbury. Leonard's sons and sons-in-law formed the Republic Land Company and made provisions for the development of a residential community called Pecan Plantation. By 1971 work on infrastructure and amenities such as a country club, golf course, airport, and recreational areas had begun, and in 1972 the Pecan Plantation Owners Association was formed. In 1978 all assets were officially transferred to the owners' association, and by the late 1980s the Jim Anthony family had acquired total ownership of the remaining Leonard Bend Farm. Anthony was married to O. P. Leonard's daughter Jane.
In 1990 Pecan Plantation had a population of 990. A second golf course, known as the Nutcracker Golf Club, was built in 1991, and the Anthony family continued to open up additional acreage for residential development. In 2000 the population was 3,544. Pecan Plantation furnishes its own security services in addition to Hood County law enforcement and has a volunteer fire department. The community consists of approximately 2,050 homes and 3,000 lots, with a maximum projected number of 4,500 lots. Pecan Plantation also has some limited commercial development in a retail area known as The Village.

The State in Everyday Life
The research concerns dialectical relations between the "state" and the "margins", where the former itself (re)produces the latter. While dominant historical works tend to depict the state as a centralised political institution, the research attempts to grasp the state in its local societal dynamics beneath the institutional framework as anthropology has recently been critically engaged with the study of the state from the margin. The research considers the state not as a single-governing entity from center but as a multi-layered configuration in the margins along at least four dimensions; (a) zones of limited statehood depicted as "peripheries", (b) "local state" by which center governs locales, (c) "public discourse" that represents dominant notions of "stateness", and (4) ambivalent position of political elites who represent the state in the margins. The research contextualises its arguments through the discourse of peace and conflict in the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT); a southeastern part of Bangladesh.
Indigeneity, Identity Politics and Marginality
'Indigeneity' is a continuously contested concept, and a site of socio-cultural (re)presentation of self and others linked to social, cultural and political boundaries and un-boundaries. Once labeled as "backwardness" and inferiority, indigeneity has now increasingly become a source of pride for many of those who claim it as a sign of resilience and an important source of personal identity. The concepts of indigeneity, identity and marginality are intimately entwined, inlaid together in conversations about attachment to place, about nationalism and love of country whilst at the same time they are reworked and modified in trans-local and transnational communicative and interactive processes. Consequently, these concepts intersect with local, national and global socio-political realities on the one hand and, on the other hand, they are confronted with the challenges posed to indigenous aspirations by the neo-liberal agenda of nation-states and their concerns with sovereignty. This projects intends to engage critically in debates on indigeneity in its ideological trajectories to determine its theoretical and political destination. This projects examines the current state of the idea of indigeneity in a de-territorialized world by exploring the multi-dimensional formations of political and national identity and critically assessing the scalar and temporal dimensions of indigeneity's sources, contents, and its connectedness with related concepts. Thus, the project especially investigates the inter-relationship of indigeneity, identity-politics and the politics of marginality in the contexts of Bangladesh and South Asia.
Media and Democracy
Exploration of the media industry–-print, electronics, and social media–-is represented as an expansion of the space of democracy. Media boom is also projected in relations to press-freedom, the right to information and freedom of speech which are regarded governing notions of democratic society. However, some cases like Bangladesh show that expansion of the media industry does otherwise as it contrarily reproduces the state-discourse and stateness in every sphere of social life. It also politicises regular happenings of everyday life within the framework of central political space. Through the media penetration in everyday life, people on the one hand become politically engaged and on the other hand, are segmented over political divide largely between the Awami League (AL) and the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP). Society consequently takes a by-polar shape disregarding potentialities of multi-polarity which at the end weakens the gravity of democracy. This project, with the critical examination of how media shapes notions of democracy in everyday life of ordinary people, investigates into whether expansion of media and strengthening democracy go hands in hands or both are counterproductive.
(Political) Islam and Secularism
The emergence of a kind of violence branded as Islamist militancy is viewed as a serious security threat to established notions of secularism and democratic way of life. Therefore, Islamist militancy is prescribed to be rooted out through military operation; otherwise another form of military. This premise, primarily produced in the West, disregards the dynamics of contested ideology and philosophy between Islam and fundamentalism as well as religion and secularism. This study argues that Islamist militancy cannot be understood by applying the Western interpretation produced in the context of 'war on terrorism' following the 9/11 paradigm. It is an imposed conceptual framework to look at religious extremism and Islamist militancy that prescribes to destroy outlaw militants and root out their king-pings as quick solution whilst ignoring its spiritual and political forces as well as its local-global interface. Consequently, military solution by killing militants in return refuels Islamist extremism in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India and Bangladesh as recurrent history shows. Therefore, there is a need for dialogue between secularism and Islamist militancy because the appearance of Islamism and its militant form exerts a critical challenge to established ways of life associated with secularism and democracy. Although the concept of secularism is a broad one, the study focuses on Islam and particularly emphasises on how the question of secularism and Islamist militancy intertwines and stands face to face where post-cold war global political trajectory, America's appearance in global domination, Western engagement in middle-east issues, geopolitical potentiality of USA-Israel-India ties, 9/11 paradigm in local-global nexus and implication of 'war on terrorism' are at the center. How such global phenomenon—the relations with the West vs. the rest and secularism vs. Islamist extremism—is significantly operational in everyday life of the people at local level of a third world country also needs to be considered for comprehensive understanding of the dynamics of Islamist militancy. Under this purview, this research examines 'Islamist militancy' ethnographically attempting to know why, how, and in what context, people are involved in Islamist militancy and what motivates them to become die-hard in killing other people presumably belonging to the secular category and the local presence of global opponent.
Spaces of Vulnerability
The project concerns intricate relations between the state and statelessness in relations to spaces of vulnerability in the society. Space is not an objective sphere and natural entity, but subjectively constitutes of socio-economic, and political processes and practices across time. Therefore space of vulnerability stems from the projects of state-making and nation-building, which produces various forms of discrimination among citizens and non-citizens depending on the legal status of individuals. Since citizenship is a reciprocal relation of rights and duties between people and the state, non-citizens become objects of vulnerability in the structure of modern nation-state. The research addresses such spaces of vulnerability with a case of the Rohingya; an ethno-linguistic-religious minority who have been the residents of Myanmar for centuries, but largely migrated to Southeastern Bangladesh and have been living there for decades as both refugees and illegal migrants. The process of nation-building in Myanmar rendered the Rohingya non-citizens and thereby stateless people in the one hand. Bangladesh, on the other hand, does not intend to host and recognize the Rohingya even as refugees as a non-signatory state of the UN Refugee conventions, 1951 making Rohingyas an illegal object. Consequently, the Rohingya have turned into a non-entity having no legal status in the structure of modern nation-state in both Myanmar and Bangladesh. The research examines Rohingya situations in Bangladesh arguing that space of vulnerability in the society is not determined by the people themselves, but is produced in the process of state-making within the framework of modern nation-state.

Well, today a couple of our plans backfired due to Rails to Trails mishaps.
It all started when we were cruising along in Cadillac, on the Frederic Meijer White Pine Trail. It was beautiful, and some great riding to boot.
But about 20 miles in, the trail turned into a two track. We ain't got those kind o' bikes. So we took this immensely hilly route sidetrack and ended up spending more than half of our day on roads. A car tried to engage Kevin in conversation and then run him off the road. A trailer came so close to me I could have touched it by extending my pinky. We met a really nice Amish fellow who gave us directions.
But we ended up in Evart, where some helpful folks at The Corner Cupboard restaurant helped us locate a camping spot. A few miles down we set up camp in Sears after navigating around yet another Rails to Trails (Pere Marquette) construction debacle.
As our journey is winding down, the riding gets a little tougher mentally. We were both trying to find ways to get to Lansing faster, and came to the conclusion that if we can't find a camping place tomorrow, we might call for a rescue ride. There isn't a ton o camping in farm country, which is what we'll be going through for the most part. And I'm kind of terrified of motels.
But for the camping we did find here I'll say it's the cheapest yet at $15.

Charles 'Scoop' Kiesel
July 30, 1920-December 25, 2013
Deacon 'Scoop' Kiesel, 93, passed away in the arms of his family on Christmas Day after a life of service to his family, his church and his community.
"Scoop" moved his young family to Fort Myers Beach in 1950 to be part of the "Pink Gold" rush that followed discovery of Gulf of Mexico shrimp and was a vibrant member of the beach community for over a half a century. He was a key member of the Island shrimp fleet for many years, always ready to share stories of his shrimping life.
Though retired as a Catholic Deacon, Kiesel continued serving parishioners for many years at Church of the Ascension, teaching Bible study classes and meeting with members regularly.
He is survived by his wife, Lenora; daugther Lenora (Tom) Smith; sons Scoop Jr. (Lisa) Kiesel and Bob (Colette) Kiesel as well as six much loved grandchildren: Charity, Travis, Zachary, Erin, Bobby and Colette.
A Funeral Mass for "Scoop" will be held at 11am on Monday, December 29, 2013 at Church of the Ascension, 6025 Estero Blvd, followed by a gathering of friends in the Ascension Parish Hall. Visitation will be Sunday at Fort Myers Memorial Gardens Funeral Home, 1589 Colonial Blvd (Call 936-0555 for time).
"Scoop" would often quote this poem by John Masefield during talks about his years on the waters of the Gulf:
"I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky. And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to see her by."

The dream palace: How rescuing the Paramount Theatre 25 years ago reinvented downtown Abilene
Theater spotlight of city's downtown
In the early 1980s nearly every historical building in downtown Abilene had either met with the wrecking ball or was staring down an impending execution.
The structures that had survived were suffering a fate worse than death.
Instead of well-heeled guests, the old Drake Hotel hosted transients and an army of stray cats. The men burned everything inside just to keep the place warm.
Its counterparts, the Windsor Hotel and the Hotel Wooten, were in similar disrepair. The T&P Depot, the Cypress Building and the structure that would later become the National Center for Children's Illustrated Literature were shuttered or crumbling.
And at the heart of all the blight sat the Paramount Theatre. Built in 1929, the grand old dame of Abilene's downtown had begun to show her age. All of the old, gold leaf edifices were beginning to fade, the seats creaked, and the carpet had become a patchwork mess.
The local galas of yesteryear had become a distant memory. The theater passed through a procession of owners, even closing between 1976 and 1977. Each new owner attempted to reinvent the wheel. For a time the Paramount even presented country music shows as a sort of makeshift opry.
In 1980 its lease was up once again.
With rumors of demolition flying, the Abilene Preservation League stepped in around 1981 to purchase the building. By 1983 the organization's ardent lobbying had landed the Paramount on the National Registry of Historic Places. But even Preservation League members at the time acknowledged that the honor was no guarantee for the building's survival, let alone its revitalization.
The benefactor
What happened next was the equivalent of a fourth quarter Hail Mary pass straight to the end zone.
A local owner surfaced, one ready to pony up the money for a full-scale face-lift of the old building. The Paramount wouldn't just return to its '30s design and grandeur, it would be better than ever, complete with a contemporary sound system and revamped dressing rooms to support live theater productions.
The identity of that owner is one of the worst kept secrets in Abilene, if one could even call it a secret at this point.
Some 25 years after the fact, the Paramount's current directors still refer to the donation that gave their theater its second life as "anonymous."
But just about everyone else in Abilene's arts community knows that it was the Dodge Jones Foundation under the guidance of Abilenian Judy Matthews that signed the checks.
Drawing from a Matthews family fortune built on railroad and mineral interests, the foundation became an instrument to transform Abilene into what Matthews later would describe as "a place to get a good education and to have a good time."
The Paramount's transformation was the first domino in what became a growing cascade of revitalization efforts that effectively reinvented downtown Abilene as a haven for art and historical organizations.
"It sparked a fire of imagination as to what things could be here," said Betty Hukill, the Paramount's executive director.
The Drake, originally named the Grace, got its much-needed refurbishment and its old name back in 1992. The nearby Compton and Cypress Buildings, along with the T&P Depot, would follow later in the decade. Along with these projects came landscaping efforts, cleaner streets and a growing sense of civic pride.
None of that happens without the Paramount's rehabilitation. And no one would have bothered to save the old theater in the first place without its deep-knit roots in Abilene's DNA.
The dream palace
At the time of its birth, the Paramount was an insane proposition.
Building a $100,000 movie mansion, bedecked in exotic Spanish and Moorish architecture, out in a sleepy West Texas town at the dawn of the Great Depression was a recipe for disaster.
But the Paramount thrived, not just in a financial sense, but also in terms of its cultural cachet. An entire generation of West Texans — Judy Matthews among them — became entranced by the elegance and scale of the most unlikely theater in the state.
Local movie historian Robert Holladay, later to become synonymous with the Paramount, first visited the theater in 1940 at age 3 ... days. From then on, trips to the Paramount became a daily part of his life, so long as his school grades stayed sound.
In a rough era for the country, the cinema became a playground for Holladay and so many other children's imaginations. So when Holladay calls the Paramount a "dream palace," he is speaking almost literally.
There were snaking lines for every showing, blue-coated ushers roaming the aisles, and the big — impossibly big — adventures that took place up on the silver screen. From there, Holladay's ascent into movie buffdom was short and direct.
Former Paramount manager Frank Sheffield vividly remembers a young Holladay asking to record movie soundtracks from the projection booth, so he could get better quality recordings than he would from in the audience.
In the interim between the Preservation League's purchase of the building and the renovations that began in 1986, Holladay was a chief part of the cobbled together crew that brought classic films back to the Paramount. Holladay had been showing silver screen classics at Cooper High School for 15 years by that point, and his expertise made him a natural fit for the project. Finally, Holladay had the chance to play in the dream palace of his youth.
"It was a fun time," Holladay said. "We did phone work, customer work, box office work and a little bit of everything else."
But that experience would pale in comparison with seeing the theater's restoration.
The architect
Before taking on the Paramount project in 1986, San Antonio architect Killis Almond had worked on the Grand Opera House in Galveston.
That project wasn't a refurbishment so much as it was a complete rebuild. Almost none of the 1894 building's original walls were left standing.
By comparison, revitalizing the Paramount appeared to be a cake walk. Sure, it needed quite a few new coats of paint, gold leaf or otherwise. But the main structure was still intact, and much of the theater's historical accouterments were still on-site.
Of course that was before crews hit water while digging around in the building's basement. Things got a bit hairy, but crews were able to finish work on the project in about seven months.
"There was a sense that we were doing something special," Almond said. "But we had to work very long hours trying to finish that thing up. I remember that very clearly."
As designed by Almond and Tittle, Luther, Loving of Abilene, the Paramount revamp was built around details big and small. There were the fresh basement dressing rooms, as well as new tunnels that led from them to the front of the theater. There was a lift for the orchestra pit, as well as a restored Paramount sign out front.
But even more importantly were the little pieces that brought back the Paramount's historic ambiance. That included tracking down the English company that made the original carpeting pattern used in the Paramount, and remodeling the balcony seats, front doors and box office to match their former appearance.
By May 1987 the theater was ready for its gala return to Abilene.
He can laugh about it in hindsight, but Holladay remembers the lead-up to that first night as a complete "nightmare."
Two hours before the theater was set to reopen for a concert by New Orleans clarinetist Pete Fountain, the fire marshal was there telling Holladay they couldn't bring an audience into the building. There were still bags of material left over from the construction that were blocking the back exit.
So there Holladay found himself — in a rented tuxedo, no less — straining to heave heavy bags of cement out of the way with the help of his father.
Thankfully, the show went on, and with it came the return of an Abilene landmark.
The next 25 years
A quarter century later, it would be disingenuous to suggest Abilene's downtown has "arrived" or reached an ideal plateau.
There's still empty retail space. Businesses still struggle to stay open.
But without the Paramount and the arts resurgence that followed, the area would be devoid of personality. Almond still visits the theater on occasion, and he's encouraged to see it's going strong. Whereas many other towns have torn down the old to make way for the new, Abilene has kept a piece of its soul.
"There are some cities that just don't get it," Almond said. "You look at downtown Wichita Falls, for example, and it looks like downtown Nagasaki."
Glenn Dromgoole has seen the downtown shift firsthand, starting as an Abilene Reporter-News editor in the mid-1980s. His arrival came not long after those squatters at the Grace had allegedly tossed a commode out of one of the windows and onto a Reporter-News employee's car.
But by 2004 Dromgoole and his wife, Carol, felt comfortable enough with downtown Abilene to open up Texas Star Trading Co. there. He says the importance of the downtown district runs deeper than commerce.
"We can't let downtown go to seed," Dromgoole said. "It will probably never be like it was before the shopping centers came here, back in its heyday. But it's still the heart of the city. If we don't have anything going on there, it's hard for people to tell — where is Abilene? What is Abilene about?"
The Paramount, meanwhile, is in the midst of another, "miniature" restoration, according to Hukill. Thanks to another donation (again, anonymous), the Paramount is expanding its technical booth and getting a few cosmetic touch-ups in the coming years. More than a venue for nostalgia, Hukill wants the theater to continue making memories for today's and future generations.
"We'd like to make the Paramount last another 25 years looking as good as it does," Hukill said.

The artist in question is one Fabian Gaete Maureira from Chile and, though his paintings do share the trend towards serene settings in nature, the kinetic style and use of his fingers by Maureira is definitely different and very cool!

Joe Buck named host of Fox NFL pre-game show
Bob Raissman of the New York Daily News, who reported on the unconfirmed rumors yesterday, felt that Fox was making too safe of a move with Buck. According to Raissman, it was a perfect opportunity for Fox to develop someone new in the host role, someone who can evolve as he tries to corral Terry Bradshaw, Howie Long, and Jimmy Johnson. I'm not quite sure about that argument; after all, for every Bob Costas that gets a chance to shine in the studio, there's two Brent Musburgers that make us want to throw things at the screen. Those aren't good odds, as far as I'm concerned.

More U.S. to Israel: Do As We Say ...
by Daniel Pipes
I noted in "U.S. to Israel: Do As We Say ..." a repeated pattern of the U.S. government permitting to itself exactly what it prohibits to Israel. "As American diplomats chastise Israel for its tactics," I wrote, "U.S. soldiers openly embrace many of those tactics." I then offered an explanation for this – not hypocrisy, bias, or holding Israel to higher standards but "the invisible assumption that Israel is engaged in a peace process while the United States is fighting a war." I offered several examples of this rank inconsistency and am listing others here as they appear.
July 22, 2003: U.S. forces found and killed Saddam Hussein's two sons, 'Udayy and Qusayy, and this provides an even more compelling case. Imagine the sour official American reaction were Israel to kill the sons of its barbaric leaders in like fashion, especially if they were the #2- and #3-ranking political leaders, and then have the bad taste to celebrate this achievement, as did the U.S. government?
May 20, 2004: American deadly incursions are fine, Israeli ones are not. Glenn Kessler of the Washington Post explains in his article, "White House Criticizes Israel on Attack":
Aug. 27, 2005: In his weekly radio address, IMRA points out, George W. Bush lauded Israel for retreating while emphasizing that his government intends to do quite the reverse:
Jan. 3, 2014 update: It's not just the Bush administration that engaged in this pattern of hypocrisy; here's an example from its successor Obama Administration concerning parallel actions in Afghanistan and Israel: The Zionist Organization of America noted
When the Karzai's government released terrorists who killed Americans, the American response was severe: "These are guys that are tied directly to killing and trying to kill our forces and Afghan forces. This is an issue of deep concern. It is serious." In contrast, of course, the U.S. government pressured the Israelis to release 104 convicted murders.
Oct. 2, 2014 update: This time, the U.S. government condemns Israel for civilian casualties, then breaks its own rules, notes Alan M. Dershowitz in "The Education of a Wartime President." Extracts:

Published Thursday, February 07, 2013
At a recent civic club meeting in Newnan, someone asked, "What kind of a turnout can we expect at this upcoming special election (to fill the vacant Georgia House District 71 representing much of East Coweta County and a small slither of Fayette County near Peachtree City)?"
Some answered, "20 percent or less."
Tuesday was election day in House District 71, and the turnout was considerably less than 20 percent. The turnout was in the single digits -- a minuscule 7.87 percent in the Coweta precincts and only 2.1 percent in Fayette.
In Coweta County, 2,670 of the 34,007 registered voters went to the polls. In Fayette, 62 of 3,000 voters cast ballots. That is a dismal turnout.
Six candidates were running in Tuesday's election, and no candidate received a majority of the votes. There will be a March 5 runoff election between the two top vote getters -- David Stover and Tom Crymes. Stover received 42.68 percent of the vote while Crymes got 19.95 percent.
Oftentimes, runoff elections have even lower turnouts than one-race special elections. It will be interesting to see if the March turnout can go lower than Tuesday's turnout.
Stover had a big lead in Tuesday's voting, more than doubling Crymes' number. Who will the four other losing candidates' voters support? Will they even return to the polls?
Whichever candidate can do the best job of getting their supporters to the polls will win the March runoff. There are 37,000 registered voters in District 71. If one of the candidates can get 1,500 of his voters to the polls March 5, he will likely win the election.

Editor's Note: Apologies to anyone who linked to this; the comments system ate the first one and added 110 old comments to the story. That should no longer be a problem. It's funny. After reading about the weak sales of MadWorld and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, a bit of my faith was shattered. The Wii has not really made a reputation for itself as a "core" gaming console. That's not to say that there aren't such games available; there are in fact some fantastic games for the console. Of course, a number are from Nintendo themselves, while it seems that third-parties have found themselves struggling to pull in the numbers they see on other platforms with traditional games, minus a few exceptions here and there. I thought for sure that this would change this year: SEGA was bringing out a House of the Dead remake and MadWorld. That these two games, along with fare like No More Heroes, have apparently not broken down the wall between the Wii and those who like more standard fare on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 leave me wondering what it will take.

Audi has unveiled the five-door A3 Sportback, just days after the three-door arrived in UK dealers.
The new car is 58mm longer than its predecessor, making it 35mm longer than the current three-door. It also gets a 380-litre boot, which is in an increase of 10 litres over the old Sportback and 30 litres over the current three-door.
There are no surprises in terms of styling, with the changes limited to an extra pair of doors and a set of roof rails. It gets the same nose and gaping grille as the three-door, with Audi's design language apparent throughout. Interior quality will be top-notch, too.
Spec and engine choice will follow the three-door, meaning there are two petrol and one diesel motor at launch. The mid-range 2.0-litre TDI diesel will be capable of 0-60mph in around 8.5 seconds while returning more than 60mpg average fuel economy. Buyers can choose between base-spec SE, mid-range Sport or flagship S line trims.
Specifying two extra doors on your new A3 will cost you £620, with prices starting at £19,825 for a 1.4 TFSI Sportback SE. A top-spec 1.8 TFSI Sportback S line will cost you £27,180 and all models should be in showrooms early next year.
best premium car in c segment, only Golf VII offers more for the price.
Groundbreaking styling - oh sorry, no it hasn't. Doesn't make it a bad car just makes it a bit ..... boring
I'm struggling to spot the difference between this and the last generation A3 Sportback...
Wow, more of the usual 'It looks the same, I can't tell the difference' comments. Brain hurts from the stupidity.
Looks great. Simple but great. All of you complaining about how it looks like the old A3:
The profile is indeed similar. But in terms of front and rear end it looks much more like an improved version of the A4/A5 not the old A3. The dashboard and interior should make the Audi the reference of the segment in quality again. So why change everything that is good? And a proven sales success? Audi doesn't need to revolutionize the A3/4/5/6/8 models the keep them successful. They just have to keep making them better, more efficient and prettier using the same basis. And they're good at that.

Obituary: Robert Trory
10 September 2013
Robert Trory started his musical life as a violinist and violist, studying at Trinity College of Music with Oscar Rosen. After spending several years playing the violin with a number of London's leading orchestras, Robert moved to St Petersburg to study conducting with Ilya Musin.
Robert enjoyed an extremely successful international conducting career, receiving excellent reviews both from live and recorded performances. He led the London Symphony Orchestra, Orchestra of the Royal Opera House and London Philharmonic Orchestra, as well as number of other high-profile ensembles both at home and abroad.
On top of his work as a conductor and teacher at the highest level, Robert also dedicated a great deal of time to bringing music into the local community. He was the inspiration behind Sydenham International Music Festival, and directed it for over ten years. Robert also wrote a series of tutors for the young violinist and violist - 'Violin Playing' and 'Viola Playing', each in five volumes.
Robert was not only an established name in the international arena; he contributed a great deal to the cultural life of his local community, where he will be greatly missed. His funeral was held at the Church of Our Lady and St Philip Neri in Sydenham on 20 August 2013.

Bands Worth Watching
Mac DeMarco
The guy is just crazy and unpredictable. The music is great. A perfect blend between Syd Barrett and Pavement.
I don't know the first album very well. Discovered them when I attended a show. They were playing new tunes from their upcoming album. Everybody totally dug it. Can't wait to hear their second record. Good tunes, good guitar solos.
Now the French side…
Malajube is the best Francophone band we never had in Quebec (Yeah, it's my point of view, but it really is). They have inspired many Quebec bands and songwriters over the years. They've recorded four amazing albums since 2006.
Jimmy Hunt
Hunt is one of my favorite folk singer-songwriters. He brought Quebecois/folk music where it had never been before. With his first album, he became the French artist that was played the most in my iTunes library in 2011. A second record is expected early 2013.

Mary Katrantzou's clever use of color and print has cemented her status as a front row favorite, and for FW12 the designer gave classic knitwear a signature twist.

Imre Barany, Rade Zivaljevic, Helge Tverberg, and Sinisa Vrecica
Recall the beautiful theorem of Tverberg: (We devoted two posts (I, II) to its background and proof.)
Tverberg Theorem (1965): Let be points in , . Then there is a partition of such that .
The (much easier) case of Tverberg's theorem is Radon's theorem.
1. Eckhoff's Partition Conjecture
Eckhoff raised the possibility of finding a purely combinatorial proof of Tverberg's theorem based on Radon's theorem. He considered replacing the operation : "taking the convex hull of a set " by an arbitrary closure operation.
Let be a set endowed with an abstract closure operation . The only requirements of the closure operation are:
(1) and
(2) implies .
Define to be the largest size of a (multi)set in which cannot be partitioned into parts whose closures have a point in common.
Eckhoff's Partition Conjecture: For every closure operation
If is the set of subsets of and is the convex hull operation then Radon's theorem asserts that and Eckhoff's partition conjecture would imply Tverberg's theorem. Update (December 2010): Eckhoff's partition conjecture was refuted by Boris Bukh. Here is the paper.
2. The dimension of Tverberg's points
For a set , denote by those points in which belong to the convex hull of pairwise disjoint subsets of . We call these points Tverberg points of order .
Conjecture (Kalai, 1974): For every , .

For us, hunting is a myth and a longing, which unites accuracy, respect and self-knowledge with the ancient instinct for harmony between the human being and nature.
Only from this harmony, does the ultimate highlight of hunting come into life. It is the readiness to make the right decision at the right moment.
A myth can be appreciated by mankind only when they experience its beauty in a way which makes sense to them. Therefore, all STEYR MANNLICHER hunting rifles are not only technically mature, but through their subtle elegance also communicate the harmony between appearance and substance.

POTUS Talks Law School Student Debt... Not Really
I am recent law school graduate. Despite graduating from a top school, I find myself unemployed with a large student loan debt burden. While I'm sure my immediate prospects will improve in time, it's difficult to be optimistic about the future knowing that my ability to live a productive life -- to have a fulfilling career, to buy a house, to someday raise a family -- is hampered by my debt and the bleak economic outlook for young people. I know that I'm not alone in feeling this way. Many of us are demoralized. Your 2008 campaign was successful in large part due to the efforts of younger demographics. We worked for you, we campaigned for you, and we turned out in record numbers to vote for you. What can I say to encourage those in similar situations as I am to show up again in November? What hope can you offer us for your second term?
I understand how tough it is out there for recent grads. You're right - your long term prospects are great, but that doesn't help in the short term. Obviously some of the steps we have taken already help young people at the start of their careers. Because of the health care bill, you can stay on your parent's plan until you're twenty six. Because of our student loan bill, we are lowering the debt burdens that young people have to carry. But the key for your future, and all our futures, is an economy that is growing and creating solid middle class jobs - and that's why the choice in this election is so important. The other party has two ideas for growth - more taxs cuts for the wealthy (paid for by raising tax burdens on the middle class and gutting investments like education) and getting rid of regulations we've put in place to control the excesses on wall street and help consumers. These ideas have been tried, they didnt work, and will make the economy worse. I want to keep promoting advanced manufacturing that will bring jobs back to America, promote all-American energy sources (including wind and solar), keep investing in education and make college more affordable, rebuild our infrastructure, invest in science, and reduce our deficit in a balanced way with prudent spending cuts and higher taxes on folks making more than $250,000/year. I don't promise that this will solve all our immediate economic challenges, but my plans will lay the foundation for long term growth for your generation, and for generations to follow. So don't be discouraged - we didn't get into this fix overnight, and we won't get out overnight, but we are making progress and with your help will make more.
Now, my disdain for most things liberal aside, this feels an awful lot like a non-answer. Maybe because it is a non-answer. In any event, I think I have seen people mention student debt once or twice on this blog, so, well, you folks can feel free to have at it again.
Also, for those interested, here is the link to the AMA Reddit thread.

All the latest on the world's youngest royals
Already a star in his own country, Spanish actor Antonio Banderas was barely able to speak English when his agent told him to "string four sentences together" and meet up with an American film producer in London.
The actor did just that, and scored his breakthrough role in 1992's The Mambo Kings for which he famously learned the script phonetically. He recalls: "I returned to Spain thinking, 'That's something to tell the grandchildren'."

Creation of interactive book-apps for tablets and smartphones made simple with this best-of-breed tool by Touchoo. Read more
Funding Unsuccessful
This project's funding goal was not reached on June 9, 2012.
Creation of interactive book-apps for tablets and smartphones made simple with this best-of-breed tool by Touchoo.
About this project
Launching the best tool for creating interactive book-apps
An evolution is in progress all around us : it's the evolution of books, of reading and of storytelling into digital experiences.
Sounds exciting? Inevitable? Well, the fact is that while text-based books already have great solutions on e-readers, tablets and smartphones, interactive children's storytelling experiences, or "Book-Apps", are not finding their way in as easily, and everyone involved misses out..
Despite the real need to tell children's stories in a new, immersive way - using the interfaces kids love so much, interactivity, music and animation - a need that's becoming stronger and more evident by the day, most independent creators and publishers are deterred from becoming active.
One of the main reasons for that is that book-apps are VERY EXPENSIVE to produce, as their creation requires considerable technical skills (in other words - you need software developers...). Moreover – their reach is limited by the technology they were created for (usually either iPad or Android).
So this is where we come in!
Touchoo aims to enable the evolution of storytelling. We've created an easy-to-learn and easy-to-use web-based tool where all children's content creators and owners – established or first timers – will be able to create their wonderful interactive book-apps themselves!
This is what it looks like:
The Touchoo Creator
The Touchoo Creator, at its current Alpha release stage (not exposed to the public), already lets users create interactive children's book-apps on any Mac or PC, and easily publish them to iPads, iPhones, and all sorts of Android devices. No coding needed whatsoever!
Creating various actions and experiences made simple
It allows easy collaboration with others since all the work is saved and backed up on the cloud. You can add multimedia files (images, audio, animation), create tap and shake interactions, test your creation on a built-in simulator and test-run as many times as you like on real devices until you're happy with the final product.
Interactive pages can be constructed in a matter of minutes!
Power to the creators of great content!
And we're almost there!… The alpha version has been released!
This is how you create an interactive page using the Touchoo Creator in its current fully-operational stage:
With all its current splendor, we still need your help in finalizing the Touchoo Creator, adding features and removing some rough edges towards a robust "beta release" stage.
In return for your pledge, you will receive our deepest appreciation, an invitation to use the Touchoo Creator in its Private Beta (and for some - even as early as the late Alpha version) and the power to influence Touchoo Creator's development - and that's in addition to the awesome goodies in each reward tier!
Regardless of all other rewards and whether the project gets funded or not - the first 100 to pledge will get one of our great book-apps - as a sign of our appreciation for your support!!
We founded Touchoo on a summer night in 2010. As young parents and entrepreneurs, we wanted to provide parents and children with a rapidly growing selection of high-quality, educational and interactive children's book-apps. Our aim is to bring to parents everything and anything they'd want to find in children's storytelling and educational books for the iPad, iPhone and Android devices.
5% of profits received will go foward to helping fund other great kickstarter projects! http://kickingitforward.org

"Aeroplane Built From Magazine Description." That was the humble headline 100 years ago, when Popular Mechanics ran a photo of an airplane two Massachusetts men built based on plans printed in the magazine the previous year. A century later, PopMech still loves DIY aviation—our October cover story is about how to build your own plane. And PM readers are still building projects based on, or inspired by, plans printed in the magazine.
Today's readers have a 110-year catalog of Popular Mechanics plans to pick from. And they have something else those 1911 plane-building Massachusetts men didn't have: YouTube. The guys who built Demoiselle back then had to send in their photo to have it run in PopMech, but today's DIYers can record their builds and upload them for the world to appreciate. Here are some of best PM builds we found.
Iowan Glenn LeGrand constructed this bright orange machine, a pure electric vehicle built on top of a VW Beetle. LeGrand passed away a few years ago, but a decades-old Des Moines Register article about him says that he based part of "the LeGrand" on old Popular Mechanics plans. This fluorescent, insect-looking electric car made the rounds on some car and tech blogs this summer when it was spotted for sale on eBay.
The wild exterior is made of formed Plexiglass. There's panel on the side of the car where you'd expect the gas cap to be, but when you flip open the cover on the LeGrand it reveals the electrical port to plug it in. This homemade EV has a radio and headlights; its door and windows are removable. Its 12 batteries provide a range of about 50 miles—amazing for 1975, and about the same as modern pure EVs. The old Register article says that LeGrand worked on his car from 1970 to 1975.

A Short History of the Parish
The modern village of Stubbington includes the far older village of Crofton, hence the name for the parish. Evidence of a church within Crofton parish can be traced back to the Domesday Book of 1087. It is likely that there has been a church on the site of St Edmund the Martyr since Anglo-Saxon times. The famous diarist, Samuel Pepys noted that the graves in the churchyard were accustomed to being sown with sage.
The church of St Edmund the Martyr (or St Edmund's or Crofton Old Church as it is usually known) was administered as a chapel of ease from the greater parish of Titchfield until 1871 when Crofton became a parish in its own right with the Revd Herbert Alder being appointed as its first incumbent. By the 1870s the village of Stubbington was expanding, whilst the village of Crofton was in decline. Moreover, St Edmund's was in a dilapidated condition.
It was decided that a new church was needed at the heart of Stubbington. Under the direction of the then vicar the Revd Pitt Cobbett, the new church of Holy Rood was built at a cost of £4000: it was consecrated in 1878. Holy Rood church tower was added in 1928 in memory of all those Old Boys of Stubbington House School who had fallen in the Boer and Great Wars. Another milestone for Holy Rood happened in 1968 when a severe fire destroyed the entire chancel end. This was seen as a God-given opportunity to modernise the interior of the church building. The church centre was later added in 1991.
The St Edmund's church building has also seen something of a renaissance in recent years. Following the formation of FOCOC (Friends of Crofton Old Church) in the 1980s, St Edmund's has undergone significant renovations, and since the 1990s there have been regular weekly services within the renovated church building.

After months of watching the price of oil set and then break record price levels, we all are well aware of how much we're paying at the pump. However, you might not even realize some of the additional troubles that can arise from high fuel prices. For starters, it looks like the price of electricity could spike nearly ten percent. In addition, many services that older Americans rely on such as home health care and home-delivered meals are being cut back in a response to the high gas prices. Just a few more things to take into account when planning for the future.

Search underway for suspect in New Jersey shopping mall shooting
No reports of fatalities or injuries
PARAMUS, N.J. - A Bergen County official says a search is underway inside a northern New Jersey mall for a suspect who fired multiple shots just before closing time.
Bergen County spokeswoman Jeanne Baratta tells The Associated Press that authorities believe the suspected shooter is still in the Garden State Plaza Mall early Tuesday. She says SWAT teams are concentrating their search in the northeast corner of the 2.2-million-square-foot mall, near a Nordstrom store.
Paramus Mayor Rich LaBarbiera says the mall remains in lockdown.
Baratta says reports of shots being fired came in shortly before Monday night's 9:30 p.m. closing time at the mall, one of New Jersey's largest and most popular.
There were no immediate reports of fatalities or injuries.

Goshen College, a Mennonite liberal arts institution, has reversed its 2010 decision to play an instrumental version of the US national anthem.
For many people these days, much 'religion' has become synonymous with division, bigotry and violence. Sadly, there is plenty of good evidence that this is so. But it is not the whole picture. There are very strong faith traditions that point in exactly the opposite direction.
Goshen College, a prominent Mennonite liberal arts institution, has reversed its decision to play the militaristic and nationalistic US national anthem at sports events. Andy Alexis-Baker welcomes the move, after a long process of lobbying which he and others led. Never before have so many Christians - and not just Mennonites or other Anabaptists - stated so clearly that these anthems and rituals have no place in Christian formation, he observes.
A leading Mennonite college in the USA has started to play a version of the national anthem. Student David Jost is one of the objectors. He argues that loyalty to the God of Jesus Christ precludes endorsing nationalism and state violence.

10 factors lead to my Cup winner
Updated: May 29, 2009, 11:06 AM ETBy John Buccigross | ESPN.com
Every man and woman on the Red Wings' or Penguins' payroll -- from checking winger to Zamboni driver, as well as their dependents -- believes his or her team will win the Stanley Cup. After all this time and travel, sweat and media releases, stressing, praying and morning skates, letting yourself think anything else this deep into the game would be masochistic.
You have to believe. You have no other choice.
