Regarding Other reviewers
This review is from: Asante AWRT-600N Dualband Smart Wireless Broadband Router IEEE 802.3/3u, IEEE 802.11a/b/g, IEEE802.11n Draft
Pros: Amazing Wireless Router. Best I have ever had wireless.
Cons: Getting to be a pain for Ethernet cable connection. Trying to see if there is an upgrade in firmware that can help the problem. Somehow if the Ethernet cable has to much running on it the router will not only cut the internet off, but will cut it off from our provider as well, (verified by charter themselves) I have to reset the modem as well as the router to get the internet back up, but due to extensive testing it is not the modem doing this but it is the router, some reason the Ethernet connections cannot handle a high load. I knew it was a non-gigabit connection but didn't know it would be like this? Contacting the CS and finding if there any firmware and I will see from there.
Other Thoughts: Regarding the other comment's that are saying about the whole "I have to log in every time I connect this defective piece of hardware. Oh I am going to RMA it. There is nothing wrong with it, just your inability to work it. If you would have simply gone to the website.

My experience
This review is from: Asante AWRT-600N Dualband Smart Wireless Broadband Router IEEE 802.3/3u, IEEE 802.11a/b/g, IEEE802.11n Draft
Pros: This is a nice router, never have had a problem with it, when I first got it I had that "couldnt connect to roku and PS3 thing" contacted customer service and they told me within seconds what to turn off. It was a security feature bonus and you could program it to allow IP address's to bypass the security or just turn it off. I just wanted a PW anyway so I just turned it off. Wonderful router faster at long ranges across our 80ft house then any other router I have had. I get 22mbs-27mbs at the farther point (40~+) with our 30mb internet connect. Do the research this Router is a great router and has compared to netgear and other crud with there foreign CS that can barely speak with you. The last two people could have simply called customer service and had that problem fixed in literally 5 seconds. It is a great router and was surprised after buying it in Jan it doesn't have more reviews.
Cons: I have though started having a slight problem with plugging in my new computer. Don't know who to blame but when I am downloading one of my games and am plugged in directly to internet (ethernet cable) it will shut the internet completely down. Wireless and all. So i say this has to either be the modem locking up or the router. Modem will still say it has internet but I cant get internet by plugging into the modem. Restarting everything gets my internet back but its ONLY when I am downloading a game off the internet. Sigh Other then that the Asante is the best deal I have gotten.
Other Thoughts: Once i figure out what is causing me to loose the internet I will post back, it may indeed be the router and its not handling the load of the download, not sure, but it is getting very annoying.

This review is from: Asante AWRT-600N Dualband Smart Wireless Broadband Router IEEE 802.3/3u, IEEE 802.11a/b/g, IEEE802.11n Draft
Pros: Easy to set up
Cons: Won't communicate with several of my devices.
Other Thoughts: The box is very easy to setup. Cannot get it to connect wirelessly to my PS3 and my first gen and second gen Roku boxes. Entered the mac address from the Rokus in the setup screen and it took it but it would hang during buffering. Only work with my Iphone 4 and Mac book. Signal is not as strong as I though it would be. It display good instead of exellent on the the Roku box (20 feet away).

Each call of 'snow day!' chips at calendar
Every big winter storm makes the school year longer. In Northeast Pennsylvania school districts, snow days are piling up.
"Out of all the calls a superintendent makes, it certainly is the most gut-wrenching decision, because you're talking about the safety of the kids," said Carbondale Area Superintendent Joseph Gorham.
School officials across the region have made that call many times this school year, including Wednesday, when a massive storm closed all schools in Lackawanna County. Because state law requires 180 days of instruction for students, those days must be made up.
School officials plan for a handful of snow days, but in a tough winter, adjustments are as necessary as snow plows.
Richard McDonald, superintendent of Dunmore School District, said when budgeting snow days, officials typically use past years as a yardstick. Dunmore typically plans for three snow days.
"It seems to be a consistent number," Mr. McDonald said. "Some years, we didn't use any."
This year, Dunmore has used five. Since the district has exhausted its budgeted snow days, students will be required to attend class on Feb. 14, which they would have had off for Presidents Day.
How to handle make-up days varies by district.
Carbondale Area officials plan for five snow days each school year; North Pocono budgets seven. Both districts add days to the end of the school year as needed out of respect for national holidays like Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Presidents Day.
"My preference has always been to add them on at the end of the school year," Mr. Gorham said. "Some traditional holidays should be honored."
Lakeland, Wayne Highlands and Western Wayne also tack make-up days onto the end of the year.
"Our teacher contract dictates all snow days must be added on at the end of the school year," said R. Scott Jeffrey, Lakeland School District superintendent.
Old Forge School District officials plan extended vacations - like spring break - that can easily be shortened for make-up days.
Abington Heights scheduled six snow days and had used all of them by Wednesday.
"If we go over, then all we do is add onto the end of the year," said Michael Mahon, Ph.D., Abington Heights superintendent.
Scranton School District budgeted four snow days this year, but has used five. Before Superintendent William King can take away vacation days or add days to the end of the year, he must get approval from the school board.
Other options for making up the lost time include extending the school day, something the district is not doing this year. Instead, the school board approved classes to be scheduled on Feb. 14, April 17 and 21 and May 20.
Wallenpaupack Area School District built seven days into its calendar, all of which have been used. If necessary, classes will continue after graduation on June 13, which Assistant Superintendent Joann Hudak, Ed.D, called a worst-case scenario.
Area school districts that have used all of their snow days should expect more days like Wednesday, said Jack Boston, senior meteorologist at AccuWeather. He said cold and snow will dominate February and linger for the first few weeks of March.
"March will be pretty (messy) for the first half of the month or a little longer," Mr. Boston said.

I've been running into this problem many times and I never bothered to learn why its happening and learn what "static" actually means. I just applied the change that Eclipse suggested and moved on.
public class Member {
// Global Variables
int iNumVertices;
int iNumEdges;
public static void main(String[] args) {
// do stuff
iNumVertices = 0; // Cannot make a static reference to the non-static field iNumVertices
// do more stuff
} // main end
So eclipse tells me to do
static int iNumVertices; and I'm not sure why. So what exactly is "static", how is it used, what is the purpose of using "static", and why is it giving me this problem?

I would say that if you have the money and time to fix them up, at least a bit, and have years to wait for the market to truly recover than the house would be the better investment...
Surprisingly the house in Aurora doesn't appear bad at all, very good for the price, but being built in 1890 I'm going to imagine that if something is wrong or goes wrong with the house you are essentially renovating the whole thing!
maybe cars need a price correction too?

Recently, the popularity of P-Y-O family outings has increased. It is no wonder. We can enjoy not onlythe fruits and vegetables we may harvest, but we also get to experience some time on a real farm. Weare fortunate each month brings the availability of a different fruit or vegetable. What is available for usto pick varies on location, varieties planted, and weather conditions, so always call the farm so you don'tmiss the products you are after or the times they are available to pick. In this part of the country we arefinishing up blueberries and blackberries. Peaches, tomatoes, green beans, figs, raspberries and earlyapples are going full steam this month. Additionally, we are looking forward to more apples, grapes,pumpkins and winter squashes later this fall.
I always bring snacks, hand towels and plenty of liquids to drink. I typically include containers for pickingand for carrying the fruit home. This can depend on the farm we are visiting as some farms providecontainers. We dress in old clothes so we are comfortable and not worried about staining or tearing. Ahat can offer protection from the sun. In the fall, extra layers keep you warm. Don't forget sunscreen forthe back of your neck and exposed skin.
The fun doesn't have to end with just picking the fruit. Some farms also offer hay rides, petting zoos,corn mazes, gift shops, even restaurants. And if your children tire before you've gotten your fill of fruit,most places also sell pre-picked produce as an added convenience.
Every farm is a bit different. Some have more relaxed rules, others are more strict. You need to find afarm that matches your needs - a farm with strict rules would not make for a happy experience withadventurous, young children. But you also need to teach your children that the plants are living things tobe cared for and respected, not abused, and the farmer feeds his family and pays his bills from the well-being of these plants. It is best to note and follow all rules and regulations posted by owners at theirpicking locations.
Below are a few common expectations when visiting a P-Y-O farm:
·Look for the check-in and check-out areas. Before picking, note whether you will be charged according to weight, volume or count. Also, inquire if there is a minimum quantity requirement.
·Place trash in proper receptacles or take it with you.
·Stay clear of parked or moving tractors and equipment.
·Health codes usually require no pets in the fields.
·Always call in advance to find out if the fruit/vegetables you want are available, to get directions, check their opening and closing hours and to ask if children are welcome.
·Walk in the rows, don't step on plants!
Keeping the fruit cool is a good rule of thumb. You can also check with your local Extension office forstorage tips. Be certain to plan ahead if you intend to freeze, can, or make jam from some of yourharvest.

Really? The only real advancement I have seen is in TTM.
Specifically, how has it advanced?
Do you honestly think C++ represents an advance in type systems? How does the C++ type system advance on simula? And how exactly does the simula type system advance on Algol-60?

Our lip glosses have always been one of our most popular products and now we've made them even better. We've also improved the formula so it protects and nurtures your lips with state-of-the-art ingredients and a wonderful flavor – berry fresh. We've kept your favorite colors like Iced Mocha and added some new ones like Beach Plum that has won rave reviews from everyone around here. Size 7ml
I don't usually like shiny glosses but this one is perfect. The Beach Plum is slightly darker than my natural lip colour so it adds a little without being overwhelming. A great neutral shade. I m also impressed by how long it stay on.
Love the revamped PureGloss! So happy to see that Soft Peach is still here as it is my absolute fave. LOVE that this formula isn't sticky like the old one. Great job JI!
I am disappointed with the new lip gloss formulation. I prefer the previous gloss as it had more pigment and lasted longer. I find the new gloss no different from something I could buy at the drug store. It isn't anything unique and it's too sheer. Will the old formula still be available in Canada or will it be replaced with new formulation?
I just adore this new formula. It's nice and shiny, applies really well, tastes great, and best of all, it isn't sticky! I prefer this tube as well. It shuts much better than the old one and it is more comfortable to hold - the old tubes leaked in my bag because it didn't shut well and I found it sticky... Thank you Jane Iredale for this new lip gloss formula! A+++!
Very disappointed with the new formulation. They have added a flavour to the gloss that reminds me of when i was a child and bought cheap gloss from the grocery store. Isn't this lip gloss for an older audience? Hope you go back to the original recipe.
Hello I wrote a review on the lip gloss but noticed it has not been posted on your website. I guess since it wasn't favourable you decided to keep it off. everything is slanted anymore. why offer people the option to review when you toss it away after you sit and sift through how you want the product to be viewed by its customers. disappointed jane iredale user. lynn erhardt
The new lip gloss tube is too long compared to the applicator so you can't use the entire gloss in tube . Poor design . Jane you are getting things so wrong lately . Aren't product changes suppose to be better ? Disappointed again, Lynn

It is small, it is light, got a classy the battery last for days, software is ergonomic. It takes microSD card so you have an MP3 player. It got bluetooth, great predictive text entry. Earphone jack is a regular 1/8".
The calendar and todo list are usable.
Tt's the cheaper phone I can get! 50$!
Cons: No EDGE or 3G. Mostly useless USB connector (you can't charge your phone through USB, only transfer files and exchange data with Ovi suite, which you can do with bluethooth anyway.
Love it.

It's not enough just to attract the attention of traffic to your online store, service or program. Today's surfer suffers similarly to those affected with ADD – Attention Deficit Syndrome. You don't have minutes to catch their attention… You don't even have seconds to catch their attention… today's surfer makes a snap judgement about which sites meet their personal criteria in a matter of mere moments.
We've all heard the phrase "time is money," but it has never ever been more true than it is for today's Internet entrepreneur. It doesn't really matter what you are selling or what you are offering – you only have one chance to make a solid impression upon today's 'Net-savvy consumer. If you get it wrong at the home page, you might as well pack up your cyber-shop and go home.
With more and more users going broadband and attention spans at an all-time low, new research is coming from many different sources around the globe, revealing that some users go from page-to-page in as little as one-twentieth of a second. These picky users mentally rate the value of a site based upon visual appeal, load time and – prepare yourselves – saturation of banner and text advertising within the home page. Your home page design, navigation, niche-targeting and overall layout means much more than you could have ever guessed.
You can do a home study project right now to help reveal this new aspect of human nature right there in your own living room. Turn on the television and get into a comfortable chair – put your feet up and relax. Now grab for the remote and pay attention to your own "surfing" habits as you search for something interesting to watch. How long does it take for you to change the channel? How quickly are you able to discern what appeals to you from what doesn't?
Another interesting thing that researchers are studying at the Human-Oriented Technology Lab at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada is what they are calling a "halo effect," where the surfers' first initial impressions actually can carry over to the rest of the website. A positive reaction to a website will foster a "good feeling" for the rest of the content and items offered. And likewise, a negative reaction in those first important moments, will carry over to a "bad feeling" about the website as a whole, effectively costing you sales even if the surfer hangs out on your site longer than a twentieth of a second.
So what is a web developer to do? Many experts say that designers who use fancy Flash design and slick intro pages are doing nothing more than attempting to impress their own colleagues. With this new research that is now available, it is possible that they might be more correct than most would like to believe.
Strategy: Making Your Game Plan
It's a whole new world – and a whole new battle – as web developers have to work both harder and smarter in order to capture the attention of their target markets and then sell their products and services effectively. Webmasters need to look beyond creating a great design and look at all aspects of web development if they are to achieve success in this new age. Here are some easy to remember tips that will enable you to get your surfers' attention focus where it should be, to hold it there and to create a lasting, favorable experience:
Keep It Clean and Simple – A great big cluttered mess is the last thing that surfers want to see when they are looking for something specific to fulfill their wants and/or needs. Remember you don't need to show them everything you have to offer all within the first 1000 pixels of your website, keep it minimal and orderly as much as possible. The big gaudy, flashy designs of the past are out – simple, clean and proper use of "white space" is in.
Clear Navigation is Key – Your visitors appreciate a simple look and thrive upon a clear and easy navigational system. Basic and easy-to-follow menus are vital to the continued success of your site. Make it easy for your users – don't make them work hard to get it. Give them free and simple access to every area of your site so that they can navigate it easily and ease into a comfort zone.
Easy Search is a Must – When all else fails what do most online consumers do? Reach for their trusty search engine! Adding a simple and obvious search engine option to your site will help users to find things that they were unable to locate via your basic navigation system AND will help keep them on your site instead of heading back to Google to find someone else's site.
Say It with Words – Keep your text clear, easy to read and to the point. Using simple words that tell your surfer exactly what they can expect to find on your site in a "nutshell" can help keep their impatient little fingers off the back button. Use those h1, h2, etc. header tags to make your main statement bold – just don't forget brief. And remember to always target your core audience.
Color Your World WELL – Color is more important than most people realize. Choosing your colors well is vital to that first twentieth of a second knee-jerk reaction to your site. If your colors are harsh and offensive, chances are your user will click as fast as he or she can before even finding out the title of your page. Matching colors well to the type of content or target market can also increase your chance of conversion success.
Just Remember to K.I.S.S.
While the idea of the ADD surfer may be frightening, it is important to realize that as a web developer you will need to constantly evolve your website design and your way of thinking if you hope to continue down the road to success. Change is inevitable, and for the most part, change is good. Knowing your audience, understanding their behaviors and their wants or needs can really help you to overcome any obstacle – even one that only lasts a fraction of a second.
Just remember to Keep It Simple Sweetie (or Stupid – whatever works to inspire you most) and always design with your target audience in mind. Thinking about your surfers as individuals with wants and needs and interests may help you to keep the focus where it belongs – ON your customers. Follow your instincts and don't be afraid to try new things and learn from your mistakes. With careful attention and monitoring, you will find the best combination of design, navigation, simplicity and marketing to increase your sales and keep your customers happy for the long run.

In most cases having games on another drive work fine without having to reinstall them after a system wipe. With the exception of Ubisoft games which also required the launcher to be installed. But no big deal....I can get around that by just installing the launcher.....
That is however, until the guys at Ubisoft dreamt up this new Uplay launcher......
Now, the Uplay launcher "thinks" the game doesn't exist on my hard drive (because I previously didn't go through the process of actually re-installing the game after my last system wipe) and so now refuses to launch the game until I've re-downloaded all 5Gb of it.
And that's just Anno.....then there's my other Ubisoft games too.......
Which boneheaded moron decided that?
Surely the launcher should allow the player to manually setup the links to games that were previously installed? It's not rocket science. It should just give the user the option to manually "point" the icon to the desired location.
However, now I'm forced to redownload ALL my Ubisoft games just to get them to work with this new launcher.
All because this launcher doesn't allow you to "point" it to an installation location.
Well done Ubisoft you morons! <golfclap>
Ubisoft, not everyone has completely "unlimited" download capacity on their broadband connections, some of us don't want to waste bandwidth and time re-downloading games we already have on our hard drives!
Additional: Also, which ******** decided that when a user is forced to re-download a Ubisoft game, they are not given the ability to select WHERE to save the files??? Come on! Even a standard internet browser has that capability!

Hi i have created a xcode project. Now i want to give .app file to my friend to use that application. From where i get this file. How to install this .app file in his Applications folder using installer package?
Build a release version, and the .app file is under build/Release folder of your project. Just copy it to Applications folder of your friend's machine. I don't think you need to build a installer.
You can find the .app file here:
~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/{app name}/Build/Products/Deployment/
(credit for path goes to http://stackoverflow.com/a/9673810/1208218 )
SIDENOTE: I had a lot of fun trying to get this into my iPad after that. It worked however. Using Snow Leopard + Xcode 4.2 + iPad with IOS 5.1.1 :) - I used the iPhone configuration utility to get the app into the ipad (you have to add the app, then click on the device, then click "install" behind the app you just added in the "application library" of iphone configuration utility) and had to create a Distribution Provisioning Profile (https://developer.apple.com/ios/manage/provisioningprofiles/viewDistributionProfiles.action) and get the WWDR certificate (https://developer.apple.com/ios/manage/certificates/team/distribute.action) and finally change the build settings in Xcode after all the certificates were in place (http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#technotes/tn2250/_index.html#//a) - but after much fun I am now looking at my first app on my iPad :) - btw, for getting apps into the app store you need to create a app store Distribution Provisioning Profile, while for ad hoc installs like these you create an ad hoc one. There is a bit more to it, but I think these are the most important and tricky steps. Enjoy.
PS. Just remembered that you also have to set the build type (top left of xcode) to "iOS device", otherwise it will never sign your application. So the path name above only has limited value: yes, it will have the .app file in it, but no you can't upload it (at least not using the iphone configuration utility) since it is not code signed - you will get an "Could not copy validate signature" error. So change it to "iOS device" and build (remember to select the right certificates in the build section of xcode as per the url info above). In that same build section, you can also set the "Installation Build Products Location" to a different path, so that you can determine where the .app (the one that is properly code signed) ends up.
The application will appear in your projects Build directory. In the source pane on the left of the Xcode window you should see a section called 'Products'. Listed under there will be your application name. If you right-click on this you can select 'Reveal in Finder' to be taken to the application in the Finder. You can send this to your friend directly and he can just copy it into his Applications folder. Most applications do not require an installer package on Mac OS X.
Under Xcode 4.5.2, you can find the .app file in this way:
Finally - THERE IS YOUR .APP PROJECT FILE !
In Xcode 7 a quick way is to use Product > Archive. It's probably not a signed copy for submission but it's good enough to give to somebody else for testing.
~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/{app name}/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/

The meeting symbolized a microcosm of the engagement occurring across these different sectors in response to the challenge of climate change, and was as a precursor and enabler for the processes needed for sustainable development.
Held at the Wildlife Conservation Society's Bronx Zoo, the event provided a platform for high-level REDD+ practitioners and leaders of the business and policy worlds, indigenous peoples, and forest communities, to exchange experiences and explore the contributions the private sector can make to REDD+ through finance, sustainable operations, project investment, and sharing expertise.
The well-attended event also embodied UN-REDD's inclusive approach. Three hundred invited guests gathered to hear speakers and panelists from organizations ranging from corporations including Microsoft (TJ DiCaprio. Senior Director of Environmental Sustainability) and Natura (Denise Alves, Head of Sustainability), Norway's Minister for International Development, Heikki Holmas; non-governmental organizations (Cristián Samper, CEO of Wildlife Conservation Society, and Mike Korchinsky, CEO, Wildlife Works), indigenous groups (Chief Almir Narayamoga Suruí of the Surui tribe of Brazil, the United Nations (Achim Steiner, Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), Veerle Vandeweerd, Director of UNDP Environment & Energy Group; and Pavan Sukhdev, Study Leader of The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity); to Hollywood (Ed Norton, actor and UNEP Goodwill Ambassador).
The programme was followed by a reception in the zoo's spectacular Congo Gorilla Forest exhibit.
Achim Steiner, Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), opened the event with a call for cross-sectoral collaboration: "REDD+ has over five years achieved a great deal and has secured support and finance from several governments such as Norway. But if the self-evident and multiple benefits of this initiative are to be fully realized we need a scaling up and acceleration of ambition from governments but also responsible investors prepared to support safeguards for local and indigenous peoples."
Climate change is one of the most pressing problems currently facing humanity. Overwhelming scientific evidence concludes that we need to drastically reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by up to 13 billion tonnes by 2020 in order to avoid the most devastating impacts of climate change.
Tackling deforestation is central to this challenge, as deforestation and forest degradation currently contribute approximately 15 per cent of global GHG emissions – more than the entire global transportation sector.
Participants agreed on the urgency of engagement in order to address climate change. "The time to act is now," declared Kanyinke Sena, Chair, United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII).
Deforestation has other devastating impacts such as endangering biodiversity, reducing fresh water supply, and threatening the livelihoods of communities who live in and around forests.
"REDD+ is a bridge between the indigenous world and the non-indigenous world, so it's an appropriate way to begin this process" said Chief Almir Narayamoga Surui, Chief of the Suruí People, Brazilian Amazon, who spearheaded a REDD+ project in the Brazilian Amazon. "It creates a vehicle through which the capitalist system can recognize the value of standing forests, and indigenous people can be rewarded for preserving them."
Mama Mercy Ngaruiya, Chairlady of the Tumaini Women's Group in Kasigau, Kenya on the benefits her community has seen from its REDD+ Project said, "When the carbon (project) came, oh wow- there was a change...We have education. Most of the children have started going to secondary school and university. We are going to have a different nation!"
REDD+ offers an innovative and effective approach to tackling deforestation and reducing emissions without massive investment in unproven technologies. REDD+ is therefore rapidly emerging as a key strategy in climate change mitigation.
REDD+ is an effort to create a financial value for the carbon stored in forests, offering incentives for developing countries to reduce emissions from forested lands and invest in low-carbon paths to sustainable development. REDD+ goes beyond deforestation and forest degradation, and includes the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stocks.
In contrast to previous attempts to save forests, REDD+ aims to create financial value for the carbon stored in forests, offering incentives for developing countries to protect forests, reduce emissions from deforestation and invest in low-carbon pathways to sustainable development.
TJ DiCaprio, Senior Director of Environmental Sustainability at Microsoft, said, "We are part of the problem. We also need to be part of the solution. We needed to get our own house in order first and clean-up our own operations. In order to do that, our reductions in carbon emissions had to go to zero."

I got my appetite up with the Svensksund map (posted in the lite challenge forum) so I thought I'd do more historical maps.
I'm working on finding a good look and I plan to do a couple of more working up to a huge wargame map of the battle of Poltava.
This is my Breitenfeld map, first WIP.
I need to rework the forest so it doesn't look like a miscolored hill.
The brown lines are battalions (6 ranks of ~100 men) to scale and I'll add cav and cannon. The ones on the map right now are just for test. They should have different colors depending on type or regiment.
I need to add some villages and there should be some more trees around the map.
Anything else?
Have been working on the ground texture, forest and the villages. Next up are the units.
Added placeholders for the swedish and saxon units, I'll rework them as i got the scale wrong. The imperial units are all there and i tried to make some tracks to show how they're moving. I'll add dust clouds to all moving units (some swedes has dust now, testing the effect).
Update 3:
All the units are done. Still testing out the dust effects, I don't know if it's too much... I'll need to do the arty next.

The Roman statesman Cato The Elder, when asked about his legacy, responded "I would like the world to say 'why didn't they put up a statue to him?' rather than 'why did they put up a statue to him?'" "The King's Speech" director Tom Hooper now doesn't have the option, having beaten David Fincher, and the predictions of most Oscar prognosticators, and won the Best Director prize at Sunday's Academy Awards. Now, the young director, on only his third film, has to pick his follow-up without disappointing those invested in him.
A number of potential projects have emerged for Hooper in recent weeks: a possible re-team with writer David Seidler and producer Gareth Unwin on period adventure "The Lady Who Went Too Far," and a big-budget adaptation of stage musical "Les Miserables," and now one more project's been added to the list, and it's one that's come close to being made more than once in the past.
Deadline reports that Hooper may reunite with The Weinstein Company, who shepherded "The King's Speech" to Oscar success, for an adaptation of Deborah Moggach's novel "Tulip Fever." The book, published in 1999, is set in 17th century Holland, during a period where tulip bulbs became hot trading items, with a single bulb selling for as much as ten times the average annual salary, and follows the love affair between an artist and a married woman.
The film was originally set to go before cameras in 2004, with "Shakespeare in Love" director John Madden directing Keira Knightley and Jude Law in a script by Tom Stoppard, but it was scrapped at the last minute when the UK government closed tax loopholes that had made the big-budget production economically viable. Another attempt was made not long after, with filming to be shifted to Eastern Europe, with director Peter Chelsom ("Shall We Dance," "Hannah Montana: The Movie") attached, but it never moved any further.
Paramount had the rights, and were on the verge of putting the film into turnaround, but now The Weinstein Company are considering coming on board to co-finance the film, and Hooper is said to be 'serious' about the prospect of directing. It's a fairly potent tale, as relevant now as when the book was published when the dot-com bubble burst, and Hooper's a pretty good match for the material. Should he pick this above the rival projects, we imagine it could start filming by the end of this year.

Celebrity Circus Not Clowning Around
June 15, 2008 10:55 AM by Lisa Stauber
Celebrity Circus, new to the summer reality TV lineup, features old actors learning new tricks. There aren't any clown cars, though, but serious acts involving trapezes, fire, and broken arms. This is the real deal, and being a circus star is dangerous! Three celebs have been injured on the show so far during practice, and the show airs before a live audience with no nets or safety lines. We have all the details for you of the acts you will see in this weeks show!
Christopher Knight, who you may remember as Peter Brady, originally was going to take on the German wheel. He's the owner of that broken arm, though, so he decided fire would be safer. Wee Man took on the challenge, though!
Joey Fatone, former boy band hottie, has remade his career as a host extraordinaire and he's the ringleader of this band of celebs.
Blu Cantrell is famous for hitting the high notes with her four octave range, and she hits the high wire here. She swings through the air with the greatest of ease in a blur of peacock feathers and blue eyeshadow.
Rachel Hunter plays hoops, again with no net. Janet Evans, Olympic gold medalist, jumps out of the pool and into the ring, performing more aerial stunts. She's been injured on the show as well, falling from a trapeze.
Stacy Dash isn't a Clueless actress anymore. She's doing her own stunts, and next week she'll be flying 50 feet in the air. She fell during taping and broke three ribs, but that can't keep her down!
Antonio Sabato Jr. shows off his six pack while performing feats of strength and balance -that's sure to be a hit for primetime! Hey, supporting yourself on a silk scarf isn't as easy as it looks!

American Idol Season 11 Top 4 Results Recap
Last night the Top Four put their performances forward for all to enjoy, hoping to get your vote and make it to the next level. The Top 3 will get to go home, to parades and cheers, not the sad walk home in fourth place. In fact, the show starts with some of the home town visits of the past, with Carrie, Lee, Kris, Adam, Elliott Yamin, Haley, Scotty and Lauren often overwhelmed by the outpouring of affection of the folks who stayed at home, voting for their hometown hero. With their efforts, those people truly helped them make the Idols dreams come true. But for tonight, will there be a surprise elimination, or will the expected become history? Only time will tell.
Clockwise from top: The Top Four; David Cook; and Jennifer Lopez.
Crusty is out front, following the video of the hometown visits. The studio audience is cheering loudly. He introduces the Top Four, who come out to sing the Mamas & the Papas huge hit, "California Dreamin'."
After the Ford music video, we move to the results. Phillip is up first, and we are reminded of his performances. Jimmy Iovine loved it, only to be topped by his second performance. We learn that there were nearly 70 million votes cast, and we won't learn the results quite yet. Hollie is up next, and how the judges loved the first song, but not the second. Jimmy I liked it, but was not fond of the second. He felt she did not have what it takes to sing the song, and, in fact, crashed and burned. Hollie is sent back to the couch, for results that will be revealed later. Season 7 winner David Cook is on hand to sing his latest single, "The Last Song I'll Write For You."
The song was released just today, and it is a special performance. The song has David's signature all over it, sounding like him. He does a great job performing it. You can purchase the single on iTunes and Amazon.
After a commercial break, it is time to look back at Joshua's performances. Jimmy I wasn't fond of the first performance, but he loved the second, thought it was Joshua's best of the season, especially when he was singing/speaking in tongues.He is sent back to the couch, and it is time to review Jessica's night. While Jimmy I didn't love the first song, finding it more impersonation than artistic expression, he thought she murdered the second, nailing every aspect she could. He loved it, and dropped a great review from Tommy Mattola, who thinks she is the real deal. Jessica is sent back to the couch with the others, the results to be learned later in the program. But first we get to hear/watch Jennifer Lopez perform the hit song by her and Pitbull, "Dance Again."
Now, watching the shirtless hunks dance with her might be fun, but the 'enhanced' vocals were rather amusing to me, coming from the judge of this live singing competition. But we got to see her post-Marc Anthony boytoy, Casper Smart. Well, if you enjoyed that recording, you can purchase the studio recording on iTunes and Amazon.
After a break, we hear that Steven is very impressed with Phillip, and how far he has come on his Idol journey. Jennifer is brought to tears by her memory of Hollie's audition, and the tough and lovely journey she has taken. Randy is so glad they turned Joshua away on his first trip, and he came back an even better performer. And when asked about the trick Jessica uses, according to Jimmy, Jennifer asks if he meant the trick of really great singing… Well, Crusty takes control again, and jumps to the results. We learn that Jessica is through to the Top Three, as is Joshua. But who will join them? We will learn that, after the break. That is when we learn that the it is Hollie ending her Idol journey, and Phillip is in the Top Three.
It is no surprise, she sings "The Climb" as her exit song. There is a messy beginning of the song, when she pops in at the wrong time, but the band regroups, and soon she is hugging the remaining three. We see Joshua in tears, and soon she is shaking the hands of the judges. That just might have been one of the best sing-offs ever. Perfect song for not winning, and she was quite composed hugging everyone. Way to go out, Hollie.

May 2011
This is my last update for the 2010-11 academic year. Tomorrow morning Pat and I leave Harrisonburg for a three-month sabbatical. Most of our time will be spent in retreat settings for reading, exercise, and family time. Twila Yoder will be monitoring my EMU email messages and forwarding only those that are critical for me to know before I return to the office in early August. Fred Kniss, provost, will be serving as acting president May-July. I am grateful to the Board of Trustees for encouraging a sabbatical that is to be primarily given to self-care and renewal, and I am very grateful for a strong team of leaders who will carry on in my absence.
Strong number of tuition deposits
We are pleased with the strong number of deposits received to date from new first year students for next fall. It is considerably higher than any year of the past decade at this time of the recruitment cycle. Of course, we remind ourselves daily that we cannot "count" these as students until they arrive on campus. And, we fully realize that total enrollment comprises many programs and that retention of current students is a major factor. The undergraduate admissions office, under the leadership of Stephanie Shafer, has worked very hard to bring us to this point. The many phone calls, notes, and other contacts by faculty and staff have also made a big difference. Thank you!
A busy academic year
The past two weeks have seen a flurry of activities to wind down the academic year as we traditionally think of it, ending with Commencement Weekend just concluded. There is much more to come before we close the books for the year on June 30:
- several cross-cultural groups leave this week
- Summer Peacebuilding Institute begins soon
- Shenandoah Valley Bach Festival in June
- continuing the renovation of Maplewood residence hall
- hosting many conferences and events
- inviting donors to contribute generously to the University Fund
- recruiting more students
- planning for 2011-12 and beyond
- and much more
The unsung heroes among us are the many folks who work long hours behind the scenes to make sure our campus is gorgeous for major events like Commencement. I am reminded of what a former president at JMU once said to a parent who made a complimentary comment about the beauty of JMU campus on a special weekend, "We should thank God for creating such a beautiful campus." To which the president quipped something like, "Yes, but God couldn't have done it all without our help."
Strategic Planning Council
Several days ago the Strategic Planning Council enjoyed an ice cream party to celebrate the significant accomplishment of completing our goals and objectives for the next several years. Kudos to Provost Kniss for the staff leadership he has given to the process. Our primary work for next year will be to monitor progress on each of the goals and to meet with various stakeholders to strengthen operational planning toward those ends.
Campus projects
The solar project on the roof of the library has been performing beyond our expectations. Since going online in November the installation has produced 45,000 lbs of carbon offset and saved 32 trees. Anyone can watch the output in real time by going to www.emu.edu/solar. Checking the site for the last week confirms that the weather on campus was a beautiful sunny day last Saturday and not so sunny for Commencement Sunday!
We continue to pursue the possibility of doing a much larger second array above the parking spaces in the north of the University Commons. It is a complex process involving financing and construction challenges, and we will continue to update the campus community as plans develop or are abandoned (at least for this year). There is no question that this would be a great step for the environment and for EMU as a leader in sustainability efforts, but we have to ensure the project's viability financially to minimize long term risks.
Recent reading
Some of the books I've been reading:
- Blue Zones by Dan Buettner
- Going Home to Glory by Dwight Eisenhower
- Inner Productivity by Christopher R. Edgar
- A Leader's Legacy by Kouzes and Posner
- Integrity by Henry Cloud; 9 Things a Leader Must Do by Henry Cloud
- Peace and Par by Michael Shingleton (this is one for those who like the game of golf!)
I am very thankful for my iPad—I will take dozens of books along on sabbatical without boxes in the trunk of our Sonata.
Our best wishes go with our students for the summer months and particularly for those who marked the completion of their undergraduate or graduate programs this weekend. May God grant each of you great joy and energy in the days ahead as you transition to new places and take on new commitments.
Blessings, Loren

Comptroller starts bid to be NYC's 1st Asian mayor
NEW YORK City Comptroller John Liu embarked Sunday on a mayoral bid that illuminates the political rise of New York City's Asian-American population but has been shadowed by a fundraising-conspiracy case against two former aides.
Already the first person of Asian descent to be elected citywide in New York, Liu, a Democrat, hopes to become its first Asian-American mayor.
Under Mayor Michael Bloomberg, "the rich keep getting filthy rich" while other New Yorkers are struggling just to survive, Liu said.
"I'll be a mayor not of the 1 percent but of the 100 percent," Liu promised supporters standing behind him on the City Hall steps as he announced his long-anticipated candidacy amid a daylong slate of appearances around the city.
He said he'll fight to bring back "the sacred promise of New York City."
"Come here, work hard, dream big, and work even harder, and if you do all that, you have a chance to make good," he said.
With that, Liu formally joined the roster of Democrats, Republicans and others aiming to take over from Bloomberg when his third and final term ends this year. The election is in November.
Born in Taiwan, Liu came to New York City at age 5. He grew up and still lives in the Flushing section of Queens, a vibrant hub of immigrants from China, Korea and other Asian and Latin American countries.
Many Asian-Americans here have looked to him as a standard-bearer for increasing their community's political visibility and influence. While New York counts 1.5 million Asian residents and the largest Chinese population outside Asia, they hadn't enjoyed the success in electoral politics of some Asian communities on the West Coast.
He said he's achieved political success because his parents believed "that an immigrant family named Liu could work their way up to become like a family named Kennedy."
And that's why, Liu said, they named him John, and his brothers Robert and Edward - after three Kennedy brothers who attained political fame.
Hundreds of supporters responded with chants of "Mayor Liu! Mayor Liu!"
And he shouted back, "Are you with me? Because we have an election to win, and we've got a city to change."
An actuary with a bachelor's degree in mathematical physics, Liu, 46, won the comptroller's spot in 2009 after seven years on the City Council, where he built his profile as chairman of the transportation committee.
As the city's chief financial officer, Liu runs a 700-person office that manages city pension funds, reviews and signs city contracts and audits city agencies. He says his office has saved the city more than $5 billion by refinancing high-interest-rate bonds and examining spending on consultants and contracts.
He has established himself as a vigorous critic - if not a thorn in the side - of Bloomberg's administration, particularly regarding an overhaul of the city 911 call-handling system, which Liu says ran years behind schedule and as much as $1 billion over budget because of poor oversight, and a scandal-plagued payroll technology project that led to a $500 million settlement and multiple fraud prosecutions.
Bloomberg and his deputies have disputed Liu's findings about the 911 system; indeed, the mayor once accused him of "intellectual dishonesty." They've said the city has heightened its checks on contracts in the wake of the payroll technology problem, while also noting that it did ultimately automate timekeeping for about 165,000 city employees.
Meanwhile, Liu has come under scrutiny himself over his campaign's practices.
Its former treasurer and a former fundraiser are facing federal charges of conspiring to break campaign finance laws to boost his campaign coffers. They could go to trial as soon as next month, creating an unwelcome subplot to his campaign's narrative as it gets into high gear.

Damian Lillard "absolutely loves" McCollum pick
Haynes & Jaynes: Reaction to McCollum Pick
The Portland Trail Blazers used its No. 10 pick in the 2013 NBA Draft to select Lehigh guard C.J. McCollum.
McCollum, 22, is a 6-3 combo guard that averaged 19 points or higher in all four years of collegiate ball. He will bring immediate help to a Trail Blazer bench that was worst in the league last season.
Despite his height, McCollum and Lillard believe they will be a force on the court at the same time.
"We can feed off of each other. I can play off the ball or handle the ball and Dame can do the same," McCollum said in Chicago during the Pre-Draft Combine.
"I absolutely love the pick," Lillard said via text. "I think we will work well together in the backcourt."
Only time will tell.
This pretty much signals the end of Eric Maynor's Trail Blazer tenure. He will likely not be tendered a qualifying offer, making him an unrestricted free agent come July 1.

Q: Are viatical settlements good investments?
A: They might be reasonable under some circumstances, but they can be risky and can cause a little discomfort, too.
Viatical settlements involve buying a terminally ill person's life-insurance policy.
- Seattle's vanishing black community
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
- Infections are the culprit in Alzheimer's disease, Harvard study suggests
- Bellevue School District seeks to fire football coach Goncharoff over scandal
- 1,000 fraternity, sorority members trash Lake Shasta campsite

If someone is expected to live only three more years and needs cash to pay for medical bills or just to spend and enjoy, he might sell his life-insurance policy.
If it's set to pay $100,000 on his death, the buyer might pay, say, $66,000 for it.
It sounds like a win-win plan, as the seller gets a load of cash and the buyer can expect to receive $100,000 in about three years — roughly a 15 percent annual return.
It's not so simple, though. The middlemen who arrange these settlements charge fees. And the sick person might live for many years, significantly reducing the investment's ultimate return. A cure or powerful new treatment might even have him outliving the buyer.
Many people are uneasy about investing in something that has them rooting for speedy deaths and against medical breakthroughs. Also, there have been many instances of fraud with viatical settlements.
Learn more about these arrangements at sec.gov/answers/viaticalsettle.htm and 360financialliteracy.org, and at the viatical.org and lisa.org industry websites.
Q: Is it bad if a mutual fund no longer permits new investors?
A: It's usually a good sign, suggesting that the fund managers aren't finding enough top-notch investments for their shareholders' money and they don't want to resort to less-promising ones.
When funds get huge, it's harder for managers to earn high returns, as they have to spread out the money more.
Dear Fool: My dumbest investment was buying $5,000 worth of Netflix shares when they were trading near $75 in 2012 — and then selling them when they fell to $50 per share.
The Fool responds: You're right — that's a painful loss. With the stock recently trading near $450 per share, you'd have had roughly $30,000 worth of shares today, for a sixfold gain.
It's natural to think about selling when a stock is crashing, as Netflix has done several times in recent years.
But you should ask yourself a few questions before selling.
For starters, have you truly lost faith in the company? If so, then sell. If not, has it fallen due to short-term, fixable problems (such as flooding at a supplier's factory) or serious, long-term ones?
Netflix fumbled when it planned, and then canceled plans, to split off its DVD-by-mail service as "Qwikster."
It has come back strong, though, gaining millions of members and sealing deals to offer more content. Its move into original programming, such as with "House of Cards," has also been successful.
International Business Machines (NYSE: IBM) shares recently had fallen more than 14 percent from their 52-week high this year.
That reflects a lack of confidence in the company, but it also presents an attractive entry point for believers — and there's plenty of reason to believe in its future.
IBM is a financially sound company in the middle stages of a successful transition, with strong leadership in CEO Ginni Rometty. Consider that she and other bigwigs gave up sizable 2013 bonuses after a lackluster year.
Some think its "predictive analytics" technology will make major contributions to health care, too. It has also been selling off its lower-margin businesses such as PCs and printers. (It recently sold its x86 server business to Lenovo for $2.3 billion, for example.)
IBM's cost-cutting efforts have boosted profitability, too, as net income increased to $16.5 billion in 2013 from $10.4 billion in 2007.
With a recent price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio near 12, a growing dividend yield that recently stood at 2.1 percent, and solid growth potential, IBM deserves consideration for a berth in your portfolio.

Holy Week in Houston
HOUSTON – Lenten lunches wrap up with Good Friday services and a meal at Houston First United Methodist Church Family life center at noon.
"If you can't get excited about being a Christian during Holy Week, you need to get in church this week," said Rev. Rex Wilburn, pastor of Houston First United Methodist Church. "This has been a great series of services and fellowship for the church in Houston. We are urging people to come out Friday and worship as a community and then be in your home church on Easter Sunday."
Wilburn said he is relatively new to Houston but has been told this year's Lenten Lunches have seen record crowds.
"This is a good community with good people who love the Lord," said Wilburn. "This is also a community filled with a lot of people looking to fill a hole in their heart.
"That is what Easter is all about," Wilburn explained. "This is Holy Week and everything about it points to the cross and Jesus' sacrifice for our sins. Those who accept Him and live for him know his resurrection is true and they have a joy in their heart that He will one day carry them home to live with Him in heaven.
"Like I said, if we can't get excited about eternal life we've missed the message of Easter," he added. "Sadly, as we look around this world, we realize many have missed the message."
Lenten Lunches have been a series of 12 meals and messages leading up to Easter
While First Methodist hosts the event, guest churches are called on each week to provide music, a meal and a minister to provide a quick message.
Wilburn said watching Houston denominations gather for Lenten services as the true church has been one of the joys of this year's event.
Unlike Wednesday Lenten Luncheons, Good Friday Services begin with the message and will be followed by the meal. Dress is casual and it's Ok to be a little late. Wilburn urged business people to invite their co-workers to Friday's service.
There is no charge for the meal but there is an offering basket and all donations are used by the Greater Houston Ministerial Alliance to help the needy throughout the year.
This season's Lenten lunch dates, ministers and guest churches were:
• March 12, Bro. Steve Lampkin, South Charge United Methodist Churches
• March 19, Bro. Joe Coggins, North Charge United Methodist Churches.
• March 26, Dr. Daniel Heeringa, Houston First Baptist Church.
• April 2, Bro. Randy Hays, Cornerstone Church.
• April 9, Sr. Pat Hinton, Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church.
• April 16, Dr. Randy Rinehart, Parkway Baptist Church.
• April 18, Good Friday, Bro. Rex Wilburn, Houston First United Methodist Church.
For more information please call Houston First United Methodist Church at 456-2203 or stop by the church office at 230 North Jackson Street.
