BWW Exclusive Interview: WALLFLOWERS and the Minnesota Man - John Halbach
John Halbach has a beard. That much we knew for sure. But what we didn't know was that the handsome, 34-year-old California resident is actually a good ole' Minnesotan boy---you know the kind you can take home to mom! Aside from being a hometown hero, Halbach is currently starring as one of the new faces on WALLFLOWERS, a web series written and directed by Kieran Turner. Now in its second seaon, WALLFLOWERS features an esemble cast and follows the members of a support group for the hopelessly single living in New York City.
BroadwayWorld.com caught up with the bearded, boy wonder to talk about the past, the present and well...the future.
BWW: So you're a Minnesota native, correct? What part?
John Halbach: I grew up in Apple Valley.
BWW: And how long did you live in Minnesota?
JH: I lived in Minnesota until I went away to college at the North Carolina School of the Arts.
BWW: Did you perform locally?
JH: I worked at a lot of theatres around Minneapolis including The Children's Theatre Company, Youth Performance Company, and Child's Play Theatre. I really fell in love with acting at Apple Valley High School. We had an amazing program run by these two incredible women named Shelley Potter and Mary Sue Adey. We did really ambitious, brave, weird stuff, not your typical high school fare, and totally pulled it off. A lot of my best friends from those shows at Apple Valley went on to professional careers, including Mitch Jarvis (ROCK OF AGES) and Brianna Brown (DEVIOUS MAIDS).
BWW: Now, how did you get your start in the acting world? And WALLFLOWERS in particular?
JH: I moved to New York straight out of conservatory at the North Carolina School of the Arts and my first professional job was in the Roundabout Broadway Revival of TARTUFFE, directed by Guthrie artistic director Joe Dowling. I stayed in the city doing Off-Broadway, Off-off Broadway, and regional theatre for 8 years. I got to do some really cool stuff including a musical version of BEOWULF at the Irish Repertory and Collaborationtown's CHILDREN AT PLAY by Jordan Seavey, for which I was nominated for the NYIT Award for Outstanding Actor in a Leading Role. Incidentally, one of my co-stars in "Children at Play" was WALLFLOWERS very own Susan Louise O'Connor. I played her brother AND her brother's boyfriend who she had an affair with. It was all very scandalous.
BWW: Tell me about your role on WALLFLOWERS? How do you see your character evolving?
JH: I play Alex, a real nice guy musician. He just suffered through a bad break-up and finds himself taking a risk on love again, perhaps against his better judgement, with Bryce (Patch Darragh). As the season goes on I think he's navigating being open to the possibility of being with someone again so soon after having his heart broken, and sticking up for himself with Bryce, who can be pretty guarded and hard to read sometimes.
BWW: Do you have any similarities with your character?
JH: I think there are definitely similarities between myself and Alex. We are both nice guys from the midwest who generally assume the best of people. We both have beards and wear a lot of tank tops and plaid.
BWW: You are also involved in another web series EASTSIDERS, will you be back If season 2 gets the green light?
JH: Yes, I will definitely be back for the second season of EASTSIDERS. We are in the midst of a Kickstarter to fund our second season, so as long as we reach our goal by Monday May 19th at 8:00 there will be more EASTSIDERS and more Ian.
BWW: What other projects do you have on your horizon?
JH: I'm in a short film called "Surprise" from director Kiff Scholl that should be coming out sometime this year, it's sort of a gay "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind." I'm also in the feature "Such Good People" starring Michael Urie and Randy Harrison that is hitting the festival circuit right now.
BWW: How do you decide what your next project will be?
JH: A lot of factors go in to deciding to do a project, but it's mostly the people involved and the story that's being told. Ideally, you will want to go to work with these people every day AND you will be passionate about what you're making.
BWW: What's the biggest lesson you've learned in this business?
JH: That you're never really done, you've never "made it," you're always working to get to the next stage in your career. There are probably 20 actors in the world who think yep, I did it, I'm totally satisfied. The rest of us are always looking for the next way to advance, to step it up.
BWW: Do you have any advice for aspiring performers?
JH: Say yes to ALMOST any job, you never know who you're going to meet or what you're going to learn. Make your own stuff! It's not only incredibly gratifying, but it also makes other people want to work with you. Also, be nice!
BWW: What is your ultimate career goal? Why?
JH: I just want to keep making cool stuff, whether it be theatre, film or TV with cool people. Also, I would like to be on a sitcom for 10 years, win some Emmy's, and then go back to New York and be in whatever Broadway show I feel like being in.
BWW: What's a fun fact people should know about you?
JH: The Mall of America is one of my favorite places on earth. Nothing I like better than an afternoon there with my Mom and my sister Chelsea. There's a place for fun in your life!
WALLFLOWERS is available to watch on Stage 17 (a new platform for Broadway and theatrical artists). For those who haven't caught the fever Season 1 is still available to watch. For those caught up on the action, check out the latest episode below:

One year after the Indian Ocean tsunami, what are the lessons? The biggest one is that it was the type of disaster to which policymakers pay too little attention – one that has a very low or unknown probability of occurring, but that creates enormous losses if it does occur. Great as the death toll, physical and emotional suffering of survivors, and property damage caused by the tsunami were, even greater losses could be inflicted by other disasters of low (but not negligible), or unknown, probability.
For example, the asteroid that exploded above Siberia in 1908 with the force of a hydrogen bomb might have killed millions of people had it exploded above a major city. Yet that asteroid was only about 200 feet in diameter. A much larger one (among the thousands of dangerously large asteroids in orbits that intersect the earth's) could strike the earth and cause the total extinction of the human race through a combination of shock waves, fire, tsunamis, and blockage of sunlight, wherever it struck.
Other catastrophic risks include natural epidemics (the 1918-1919 Spanish influenza killed between 20 million and 40 million people), nuclear or biological attacks by terrorists, certain types of lab accidents, and abrupt global warming. The probability of catastrophes, whether intentional or not, resulting from human activity appears to be increasing because of the rapidity and direction of technological advances.
The fact that a catastrophe is unlikely to occur is not a rational justification for ignoring the risk of its occurrence. Suppose that a tsunami as destructive as the one in the Indian Ocean last year occurs on average once a century and kills 250,000 people. That is an average of 2,500 deaths per year. If such a toll could be substantially reduced at moderate cost, the investment would be worthwhile.

You know the firm in question can make money, but just how much should you be willing to pay to take it over?
Steve Pateman, chief executive NatWest & RBS Business Banking, looks at the best ways to determine a firm's value.
Deborah Scott, England.
I am looking at possibly buying a business, but am unsure as to a reasonable price to pay.
Are there some guidelines you can give me as to how to calculate the value of a small company?
Steve Pateman, chief executive NatWest & RBS Business Banking
Unfortunately your bank will not be an expert in evaluating the price of a business.
However they will point you in the right direction of an accountant who, using the information available on the business, will be able to give you a good indication as to a reasonable price to pay for the company.
They will take into consideration a number of different factors, from past business performance to location and customer base.
It is also worth using the internet to gauge the price of similar businesses in your area.
Contacting your local council will also be able to give you a good idea as to whether or not the location and the surrounding area is marked as a potential regeneration area.
I would also advise that you take a look at the Startups website - link on the right - as it provide in-depth, useful information on buying a business

Trying to narrow down eight years of cross-platform console games into a list of the 10 best or most important is one of the more difficult tasks we've had to undertake. There simply have been dozens upon dozens of excellent games released during expiring console generation. Still, we've managed to carve out a list of the titles that mattered most.
Assassin's Creed II (2009): While there's no doubt the first Assassin's Creed was a technical masterpiece, the game suffered from repetitive action. Ubisoft Montreal fixed that in its second outing, the first starring everyone's favourite Italian assassin, Ezio di Auditore. Assassin's Creed 2 didn't just have an incredibly detailed and a living open world, it was a ton of fun too thanks to varied missions and an economy system, which allowed Ezio to upgrade his villa. The franchise has since become Ubisoft's most valuable property and is on its way to the silver screen.
(Developer: Ubisoft Montreal)
The Walking Dead (2012): Based on the TV show that is based on a comic book, The Walking Dead video game is about as different a zombie game as there is. Instead of focusing on all-out action, like many of its kin do, this game instead centres on character development and relationship building. Moreover, the game was released in five, separate downloadable instalments, a strategy that helped build buzz and anticipation over time. It's a trend setter that will inevitably be copied by plenty of next-generation games.
(Developer: Telltale Games)
BioShock (2007): Amid all the mindless first-person shooters came BioShock, a game that was similarly built upon blowing away a lot of guys but which also challenged players to think about their actions. Set in the failed (if still gorgeously realized) undersea utopia of Rapture, BioShock played with novelist Ayn Rand's Objectivism philosophy and required players to make moral choices with regard to either freeing captive children or harvesting them for energy. Subsequent games delivered even more existential debate… packed in amid all the shooting, of course.
(Developer: Irrational Games)
Mass Effect 2 (2010): There's no studio better at script writing and character development than Edmonton's BioWare, and the Mass Effect trilogy cements it. The sci-fi space opera, an homage to Star Wars, sets players against the evil Reapers, an alien race bent on wiping out humanity. The second instalment in the series furthered the great story and characters that debuted in the first one, but added better action and exploration capabilities. The third game was even better, but Mass Effect 2 really got the recipe right – also, unlike ME3, players didn't hate its ending.
(Developer: BioWare)
Portal 2 (2011): It's possible that no one has ever had as much fun with physics in a game as the developers at Valve did with Portal 2, a mind-bending trip in which players had to shoot doorways into walls, floors and ceilings. They'd then have to shoot their own exit points, which made for some mind-bending puzzles. And as if that wasn't enough, the game also featured hilarious – and sometimes creepy – voice-acting from the likes of Stephen Merchant and J.K. Simmons. It was a first-person shooter that was anything but.
(Developer: Valve Corporation)
Batman: Arkham Asylum (2009): When it comes to superhero video games, there's BAA and AAA – before Arkham Asylum and After Arkham Asylum. Rocksteady's 2009 open-world game, starring the Caped Crusader, was so good it sent every other superhero game developer back to the drawing board. Not only did Batman have tons to do in his open world, the game was also an exceptionally crafted love letter to the character's deep history. On top of it all, it also introduced a perfectly balanced, timing-based fighting system that has been copied in numerous games since. The 2011 sequel, Arkham City, was even better, but it was the original game that significantly raised the bar on action-adventure games.
(Developer: Rocksteady Studios)
Guitar Hero II (2006): It seems silly now that people used to congregate in bars and pubs to play plastic guitars in the same way they do for karaoke, but that's how big of a phenomenon Guitar Hero was only a few short years ago. The first game got the mechanics down, where players had to hit buttons in time with "notes" as they floated down on the screen. Guitar Hero II was the one that blew up, however, since it featured mostly original songs instead of covers. Sequels followed in rapid succession and original developer Harmonix took the core concept to its logical conclusion in 2007 with Rock Band , which added drums and vocals to the mix. Alas, an oversaturation of games killed the trend almost as quickly as it began. Still, we'll always have the solo in Carry on Wayward Son.
(Developer: Harmonix)
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (2007): There aren't many sure bets in this life, but among them is that the annual Call of Duty release will end up as one of the year's top-selling games, making the franchise the undisputed king of first-person shooting in this console generation. The fourth entry in the series, Modern Warfare, was a departure from its Second World War roots – and it paid off big time. Fighting terrorists with futuristic weapons rather than Nazis with old carbines turned out to be a smart move, with millions of players snapping the game up and getting hooked on its online multiplayer. Other franchises have tried to emulate and improve on the Call of Duty formula perfected in Modern Warfare, but Activision's bread-and-butter is still the series to beat.
(Developer: Infinity Ward)
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (2011): There are open-world games and then there is Skyrim, a game with an open world so vast, you can almost see a future where we can jack into a virtual reality and live there instead. It's jaw-droppingly gorgeous and seems to function entirely on its own; salmon hop upstream, rabbits scurry away as you approach and city guards talk endlessly about arrows to the knee. To go with all this exploratory freedom, Skyrim also entreated players to play as they wanted – with swords, stealth or spells, or any combination thereof. With huge new enemies – dragons! – and dynamically generating quests, it was a game that could literally be played for hundreds of hours. And many did just that. Skyrim was astonishing in its scope and forced many rival fantasy role-playing game developers to rethink their plans.
(Developer: Bethesda Game Studios)
Grand Theft Auto IV (2008): It's pretty incredible that, in this day and age of rapid sequel releases, that until last week there had been only one Grand Theft Auto game for the current generation of consoles – especially given the devices' exceptionally long life span. But what a game GTA IV was. Starring Niko Bellic, an Eastern European immigrant to the New York-inspired Liberty City, the game delivered on all of the series' trademarks: a huge open world that ran with clockwork-like precision, fun and varied action, questionable morals, controversy, a great soundtrack and hilarious characters. And even online multiplayer to boot! GTA IV was one of those few games that transcended the genre; it was a full-on pop culture sensation. It was also proof that good things take time to make, which is why its follow-up – Grand Theft Auto V, which shattered sales records last week – was so eagerly snapped up.
(Developer: Rockstar North)
Honourable mention: Red Dead Redemption (2010, Rockstar San Diego), Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure (2011, Toys For Bob), FIFA Soccer 12 (2011, EA Canada), Dead Space (2008, EA Redwood Shores), Rayman Origins (2011, Ubisoft Montpellier), Limbo (2010, Playdead), Far Cry 3 (2012, Ubisoft Montreal), Street Fighter IV (2009, Capcom), Fallout 3 (2008, Bethesda Game Studios), Deus Ex: Human Revolution (2011, Eidos Montreal).
(Developer: Rockstar San Diego)

Austin BBYO is Glowing
Read this story in the Jewish Outlook
It's going to be a great year for our Austin BBYO girls' chapter, Ra'naan BBG. We have the largest MIT (members in training) group we've ever had – 22 girls! It is the largest freshman class that one chapter has in all of Lonestar Region. BBYO Lonestar Region is made up of Austin, San Antonio, and Houston.
This is a huge accomplishment for Ra'naan BBG and we would not have been able to achieve this without our hardworking board members. We're extremely excited for all our new MITs to start getting to know each other and come to more events. So far this school year, our chapter has had three major events: Intake 2012, Austin BBYO is Glowing, and MIT Nap 2012.
During the very first event, Intake 2012, Ra'naan BBG and Capital AZA invited all the Jewish teens that they know and explained to them what BBYO is all about. They enjoyed delicious kosher hot dogs and hamburgers and then played some "getting to know each other" games. Afterwards, the boys and girls split into their chapters, and the girls played some more team building games to show the new members how much fun BBYO is.
Our second event was also a co-ed program with Capital AZA. It was called "Austin BBYO is Glowing" and it was both educational and entertaining. We split into teams- freshmen and seniors vs. sophomores and juniors, and we played capture the flag in the dark using glow sticks. We also learned some interesting facts about Israel from our board members.
Ra'naan BBG's most recent event was our "MIT Nap" where the girls in the chapter "kidnap" their MITs (with permission from their parents of course.) All the upperclassmen and sophomore girls had a sleepover on a Saturday night, made signs, and called parents to make sure everything went as planned. At 4:00 A.M. we woke up and drove to the MITs' houses and kidnapped them, taking everyone out to IHOP for a delicious pancake breakfast. Seeing the girls' faces when we woke them up was priceless!
We're looking forward to sending our MITs to Lonestar's MIT/AIT Convention. We also have Lonestar's Regional Convention in December, as well as many more chapter events coming up. We're extremely excited for the events coming up and hope to see all of our new friends as well as current members there.
Interested about BBYO? Contact the Austin city director, Sarah Yonas at 512-735-8046 or firstname.lastname@example.com to find out how you can become involved.

Permanent Present Tense: The Man with No Memory, and What He Taught the World
Mike Jay writes:
Memory creates our identity, but it also exposes the illusion of a coherent self: a memory is not a thing but an act that alters and rearranges even as it retrieves. Although some of its operations can be trained to an astonishing pitch, most take place autonomously, beyond the reach of the conscious mind. As we age, it distorts and foreshortens: present experience becomes harder to impress on the mind, and the long-forgotten past seems to draw closer; University Challenge gets easier, remembering what you came downstairs for gets harder. Yet if we were somehow to freeze our memory at the youthful peak of its powers, around our late twenties, we would not create a polished version of ourselves analogous to a youthful body, but an early, scrappy draft composed of childhood memories and school-learning, barely recognisable to our older selves.

Rod Stewart is planning to marry fiancee Penny Lancaster in a lavish Ł1million June wedding.
In the wake of wedding reports which details are still being kept under wrap, here comes a new report suggests that Rod Stewart is planning to marry fiancee Penny Lancaster in a lavish Ł1million June wedding.
The rocker is said planning to spend such amount of money on their big day which is set to take place at the exclusive Italian Riviera Portofino resort on June 16th. "They have hired a venue in the town and he is going to charter a couple of private jets to get his guests there. It is going to cost a small fortune but he wants it to be a memorable day," Britain's The Sun newspaper quoted a source as saying.
The happy couple has reportedly invited numbers of celebrities, including Sir Elton John, David Furnish, Mick Jagger, Scottish comedian Billy Connolly, and Paris Hilton, all of whom has been sworn to secrecy about the wedding.
Rumors on the street say the nuptials will take place at the Hotel Splendido, the place where Richard Burton proposed for the first time to screen beauty Elizabeth Taylor.

Off to Boston
I got in my last run this morning before Monday's marathon. I have no clue what pace, nor what distance. :-) It was somewhere around 4 miles. I've been going to PT for a month now. They dig in my feet, scrape them, and stretch out my legs. Hopefully between all of that the swelling in my feet goes down and this taper makes everything fall together. 3 more days and I hope to cheers with some of you at the finish line.
I finally picked out my race gear!

Lwow, Poland (Jul. 4)
Emanuel Werbner, one of two Jewish boys injured when a bomb, believed to have been thrown by antiSemitic gangsters, exploded in the club rooms of the local Jewish sport club Hashachar, died here today from the wounds received in the explosion. The victim was only 13 years old.
The club's rooms were bombed on the night of June 23 and two boys were seriously wounded. The other boy, Ephraim Fortman, 14, is still in the hospital in a critical condition. The building, which also houses the Zionist sports group Kadimah, was heavily damaged.
The police have so far not succeeded in apprehending the throwers of the bomb. However, members of a local anti-Semitic youth organization are suspected.

Microsoft Q3 net slips 2.4% to $5.1 bn but tops W-St predictions
Microsoft produced a surprisingly strong quarter to start the year, pleasing investors looking forward to even bigger things from the software maker's much-anticipated overhaul of Windows operating system next fall.
San Francisco: Microsoft produced a surprisingly strong quarter to start the year, pleasing investors looking forward to even bigger things from the software maker's much-anticipated overhaul of Windows operating system next fall.
The performance announced Thursday defied the conventional thinking that Microsoft would have trouble selling more Windows licenses as more people snapped up tablet computers, such as Apple Inc.'s trendsetting iPad, while other prospective personal computer buyers delayed making their purchases until the next version of Microsoft's operating system hits the market.
That didn't turn out to be the case during the three months ending in March as revenue at Microsoft's Windows division edged up by 4 percent from last year to USD 4.6 billion. Microsoft attributed the gain to an uptick in businesses who bought licenses for Windows 7. It marked only the second time in the past six quarters that Microsoft has registered a year-over-year gain in the Windows division.
"We're driving toward exciting launches across the entire company, while delivering strong financial results," said Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer.
High hopes are riding on the revamped system, Windows 8, because Microsoft designed it to run on devices that can be controlled by touch, as well as keyboards and computer mice. That means Windows 8 can serve a dual purpose: it could help spur the development of sleeker PCs that spur more sales and also give Microsoft a chance to grab a piece of the rapidly growing tablet computer market.
Although Microsoft hasn't announced a target date yet, most analysts believe Windows 8 will go on sale in September or October.
Microsoft Corp. earned USD 5.1 billion, or 60 cents per share, during the period marking first three months of the year – the Redmond, Wash company's fiscal third quarter. That was a 2 percent decline from net income of USD 5.2 billion, or 61 cents per share, a year ago.
Last year's results were boosted by a tax benefit of USD 461 million, or 5 cents per share.
Revenue rose 6 percent from last year to USD 17.4 billion
Analysts had anticipated earnings of 58 cents per share on revenue of USD 17.2 billion, according to a FactSet survey.
Microsoft's shares gained 87 cents, or nearly 3 percent, to USD 31.88 in Thursday's extended trading.
While the Windows division held up better than expected, one of Microsoft's recent strongholds weakened. The deterioration occurred in the entertainment division as Microsoft's shipments of its Xbox 360 video game console plunged by nearly 50 percent to 1.4 million units. The sagging demand occurred as more people are playing games on phones and tablet computers. Revenue in the entertainment division declined 16 percent from last year to USD 1.6 billion.
Microsoft's long-suffering online division, which has struggled for years to compete against Internet search leader Google Inc., managed to narrow its losses in the latest quarter. The division, which includes its Bing search engine, posted an operating loss of USD 479 million compared to a loss of USD 776 million at the same time last year. Microsoft's online revenue totaled USD 707 million, a 6 percent increase. By comparison, Google's revenue during the same period surged by 24 percent.

The Denver Broncos will announce their roster by 4 PM today in John Elway's second season as executive vice president of the Broncos. In this press conference he'll announce Denver's final roster cut down in which they'll shed their current roster of 75 players down to just 53 players.
This is an interesting cut down because the Broncos have so many issues depth-wise. The Broncos have a quality starting lineup, with superstars and playmakers such as Peyton Manning, Von Miller, Elvis Dumervil, Champ Bailey, Ryan Clady and DeMaryius Thomas. However, as evidenced by their showings vs. Seattle and San Francisco, the Broncos have issues behind their starters. The second and third-stringers scored zero total points in the second half vs. the Seahawks and Niners. That is simply inexcusable.
There are way too many areas to cover. The Broncos right now have to make a decision at backup quarterback – do they go with Caleb Hanie, or do they go with Brock Osweiler? Hanie has a non-guaranteed contract and if he gets cut today, the Broncos don't owe him anything. Osweiler has struggled throughout the preseason, and as the backup quarterback in the preseason finale vs. Arizona after Hanie, he went 3/6 and threw an interception. He did lead the Broncos on a long drive that resulted in a field goal.
In this scenario, the Broncos can release Hanie, make Osweiler the backup quarterback, and designate Adam Weber as the third-string quarterback, or even designate him to the practice squad for yet another season. Barring a catastrophic situation, the Broncos won't likely use their third-string quarterback this season, and if they need to, they could always just activate Weber.
If the Broncos choose to keep Hanie, where he'll likely be Manning's backup, the Broncos would make Osweiler the third-stringer, while releasing Weber, where they would have the opportunity to re-sign him and place him on their practice squad. In this scenario though, the Broncos are paying both Osweiler and Hanie backup quarterback money, despite only one of them being needed as a true backup.
That is just the tip of the iceberg.
The running back situation is a little headache-inducing also. First thing's first, Willis McGahee and Ronnie Hillman will make the roster. FB Chris Gronkowski is also a virtual lock. The Broncos will only keep one FB on this year's roster, meaning they might keep four true running backs entering the 2012 season opener vs. Pittsburgh.
Jeremiah Johnson has been impressive this preseason, and he could conceivably make the roster. He was on the Broncos' roster for a few games in 2011. Knowshon Moreno hasn't been great, but he did have a solid showing at Arizona last night. Moreno had seven carries for 49 yards while playing the entire first half. Lance Ball barely played against the Cardinals, and he is currently listed as the backup running back to McGahee, so I would expect Ball to make the roster.
That means Denver either keeps three or four running backs. The three running backs that are likely to make the roster are McGahee, Hillman and Ball. If Denver wants to keep a fourth running back, it's between Moreno and Johnson.
Along the way, John Fox has to make decisions regarding defensive line, safety and wide receiver depth.
Along the defensive line, who will win out between young players such as Jeremy Beal and Malik Jackson?
Will the Broncos keep five safeties, or will they release David Bruton despite his special teams contributions?
Brandon Stokley didn't play vs. the Cardinals, so it appears he's a lock to make the roster, and likely serve as Denver's slot receiver. Will free agent signee Andre Caldwell make the roster? Who will be Denver's No. 4 and No. 5 receivers? Jason Hill disappeared down the stretch during the preseason. Matthew Willis can make contributions as not only a reserve receiver, but in specials teams too. Greg Orton was Denver's hero in last night's win, and he is only owed $390,000 for 2012 rather than Caldwell's near $1 million per season.
Come late afternoon today, we will find out just who, and who didn't survive the final roster cut down of the preseason.Tags: Brandon Stokley, Brock Osweiler, Caleb Hanie, Denver, Denver Broncos, Football, Knowshon Moreno, NFL, Peyton Manning, Von Miller, Willis McGahee

Release Notes: The Crypt map is now accessible. A basic title screen has been added. Stability on Windows XP has been improved. Raising and lowering the volume now works correctly. The dependency on SDL_Net has been removed. Bombs grabbed by the Borer no longer play their sound effect endlessly. It adds a new medal to earn: "Completed the game with only 5 hit points".
MMA (Musical MIDI Accompaniment) is an accompaniment generator. It creates MIDI tracks for a soloist to perform over from a user-supplied file containing chords and MMA directives. It is very versatile and generates excellent tracks. It comes with an extensive user-extendable library with a variety of patterns for various popular rhythms, an extensive user manual, and several demo songs. It is a command line driven program. It creates MIDI files which need a sequencer or MIDI file play program.
Release Notes: There are many bugfixes and general enhancements. New features include the support of Polychords, improved chord voicing, note ornamentation for most tracks, and a track delay setting. Note that the version numbering scheme is changed to YY.MM.
GoAnywhere automates and secures the exchange of data with your customers, trading partners, and servers. It allows your organization to consolidate all of its data transmission and processing needs under one solution with a single point of control and administration. With GoAnywhere, customers save a significant amount of time and money by eliminating the custom programming and manual steps traditionally required.

It connects to the database servers of DB2, SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, Sybase, and Informix.
Release Notes: This release includes enhanced job controls, custom add-ons, holiday calendars for scheduling, and even more advanced functions to improve usability and flexibility.
SFLphone is an SIP/IAX2 compatible softphone. The goal is to create a robust enterprise-class desktop phone. While it can serve home users very well, it is designed for intensive corporate use.
Release Notes: This version offers improved performance, better stability, and many bugfixes. It should be the most stable ever released.
Submin provides a Web-based admin interface to your Subversion and Git repositories. Its features include user/group management, path permission management, the ability to create svn repositories and managing commit email messages. For Subversion, authentication is done with htpasswd/svn authz, so it can use the same login information as apache2/svn (and trac). For Git, ssh is used, and the login information is synched whenever a change is made. The Web interface can also work with NGINX/uWSGI, but the Subversion part only works with Apache.
Release Notes: This release fixes a problem where the commit email configuration file was not updated (#270). It fixes a problem where too many email messages were sent due to loose matching of repository names (#257). It fixes errors due to incorrect enabling Trac hook (#258, #269). It fixes sorting of users, groups, and repositories (#259). It removes some unnecessary calls to improve performance.
FreeIPMI provides in-band and out-of-band IPMI software based on the IPMI v1.5/2.0 specification. It has a number of useful features for large HPC or cluster environments.
Release Notes: This release includes a new ipmi-pet tool to parse and interpret platform event traps (PET). A new --sdr-cache-file option is available in all SDR related tools (ipmi-sensors, ipmi-sel, etc.) to specify a specific SDR cache file to use. Support for Quanta QSSC-S4R/Appro GB812X-CN OEM sensors, SEL events, and SDR entries has been added. DCMI 1.5 additions have been added to libfreeipmi. A number of additional workarounds and bugs are also supported in this release.
aime is a simple, C-like programming language and an interpreter, both designed to be embeddable in applications. The language is straightforward, trivial, and direct. Its syntax is simpler than that of C, while still providing for full object management, higher order functions, and references. The interpreter is secure and expressive, allowing comprehensive control over program execution and providing powerful methods of application integration.
Release Notes: Formatting of floating points has been improved. The error messages for parsing errors have been further detailed. Aime libraries including the byte array and collection libraries have been extended. The double ended queue library has been documented. A new schema for naming functions operating collection ends has been introduced.
crpcut is the Compartmented Robust Posix C++ Unit Test system. crpcut (pronounced "Crap Cut") runs all test cases in their own process and their own working directory, which makes it perfectly normal to test that asserts do trap, and the test suite continues even in the event of an unexpected SIGSEGV. By using the C++11 features long available in GCC, the tests are extremely easy to write.
Release Notes: The major new feature is tagging of tests. Tags are a test selection method orthogonal to that of test suites. Tags can also be used to distinguish between tests that are critical (e.g. regressions) and tests that are non-critical (e.g. the functionality currently being worked on). Experimental support is also available for decorating test reports with, for example, ANSI-colour escapes.
V6 Thompson Shell Port provides two ports of the original /bin/sh from Sixth Edition (V6) UNIX (circa 1975). osh is an enhanced port of the shell, and sh6 is an unenhanced port of the shell. This project also includes glob6, if, goto, and fd2 as external shell utilities. While they remain external for compatible use by sh6, these utilities are integrated into osh to improve shell performance.
Release Notes: This release changes the osh exit status for alias and unalias so that they exit with a false (1) status when there are no aliases to print, set, or unset. Otherwise, they exit with a true (0) status when there is no error. It adds 'version' as an osh special built-in command, replacing the previous 'version' alias found in examples/dot.oshrc. It changes the _XOPEN_SOURCE definition from 600 to 600L in mkconfig. It also adds DEBUG_ALIAS, DEBUG_GLOB, and DEBUG_PROC definitions (undefined by default) to err.h for printf debugging.
gtkaml is an XML syntax and parser that extends the Vala.Parser and transforms all your tags into a valid Gtk+ UI class. It features a casual XML syntax for describing the way Gtk widgets are laid out in a (new) custom widget you're creating. Code "islands" (written in Vala) are used for widget signal handling and other methods/signals/properties that you're introducing. It doesn't depend on an external library at run-time, and it is much more readable than the usual UI boilerplate.
Release Notes: This beta release includes a new way of interaction with the Vala compiler that enables future developments. There should be no notable differences compared to 0.4.3's functionality, other than: compatibility with Vala 0.12/0.14/0.15; source files' order from command line is not relevant anymore (previous architectural limitation); and support for custom creation methods (the construct will still be generated by gtkaml).
FxMovieManager is a file manager which can display thumbnails of movie files. It can also manage a playlist of movies and act as a simple front-end to MPlayer.
Release Notes: The code of the internal player and of the Movie Information dialog was updated for using the last stable release of FFmpeg (0.9). The thumbnail displayed by the Operation dialog (cut, copy, symlink, and rename) and by the Movie Information dialog is now better resized when shifting to the wide-screen mode. Linked movies are now correctly reported on the File Properties dialog and managed by the Play List.
Clonezilla is a partition or disk cloning tool similar to Symantec Ghost. It saves and restores only blocks in use on the hard drive if the file system is supported. For unsupported file systems, dd is used instead. It has been used to clone a 5 GB system to 40 clients in about 10 minutes.
Release Notes: The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2012/Jan/03). Live-boot was updated to 2.0.15-1.drbl10, and live-config was updated to 2.0.15-1.drbl6.
Ultimix is a framework for developing Web-based applications (CMS, portals, ERPs, etc.) It includes multi-language support, permits management, an MVC mini framework, package structure, a template engine, a Javascript library, a simple GUI library, a caching system, and CAPTCHA.
Release Notes: This release refactors the packages "gui::context_set::default_views", "gui::context_set::default_views::default_views_utilities", "user::user_markup", "page::page_composer", "gui::db_markup", and "page::page_parts". The function "string::text->detect_encoding" was added. An error in "user::user_view" was fixed. Small errors and improvements were made. The documentation was updated.
Endian Firewall is an all-in-on Linux security distribution that turns any system into a full-featured security appliance. It features a stateful packet inspection firewall, application-level proxies for various protocols (HTTP, POP3, SMTP), anti-virus support, virus and spam filtering for email traffic (POP and SMTP), content filtering of Web traffic, and a "hassle free" VPN system based on OpenVPN.
Release Notes: This release introduces new process management, rendering boot time to half as long as before, minimizes the footprint by improving resource management, stabilizes the project by fixing lots of bugs, and adds trusted timestamping using OpenTSA. Upgrades from Endian Firewall Community 2.4.1 to version 2.5 will be available by the end of January 2012.
"Urbie Defense" is a game where you must defend your Urbanmechs from waves of enemies for as long as you can. Each wave lasts 30 seconds, with 10 seconds intermission between each wave. It uses some art assets from MegaMek and contains references to the Battletech universe.
Release Notes: This is the first publicly playable version. Features include increasingly difficult waves of enemies, dynamic crosshairs which convey relevant information about the health of your unit, and the ability to work in the latest version of all non-mobile HTML5-capable Web browsers (work is being done on compatibility with mobile browsers).
The pbs_python package is a wrapper class for the Torque Batch System C library. With this package, you now can write utilities and extensions in Python instead of C. This package was developed to replace xpbsmon by an ASCII version named pbsmon. PBSQuery is also included in this package. This is a Python module built on top of the pbs Python module to simplify querying the batch server. There are a lot of examples included in the source package.
Release Notes: This release adds new generated files for pbs_wrap.c and pbs.py to support Python 3.X versions, catches the PBSQuery error in sara_nodes if it can't make a connection with pbs_server, and solves dependencies for the Debian package.
Dateutils are a bunch of tools that revolve around fiddling with dates and times in the command line, with a strong focus on use cases that arise when dealing with large amounts of financial data. Their target market is shell scripts that need date calculations or calendar conversions, and as such they are highly pipe-able and modeled after their well-known cousins (e.g. dtest vs. test, or dgrep vs. grep).
Release Notes: This is a bugfix release. A bit fiddling bug gave erroneous results in "dconv now". Date expressions (for dgrep, et al.) can now be arbitrarily joined with conjunctions (&&) and disjunctions (||), as well as negations (!). See the info page examples and/or README.
Diffstat reads the output of the diff command and displays a histogram of the insertions, deletions, and modifications in each file. Diffstat is commonly used to provide a summary of the changes in large, complex patch files.
Release Notes: This release adds a "-R" option, like patch's option to show reversed differences. There are also documentation and portability fixes.
fwknop implements an authorization scheme called Single Packet Authorization that requires only a single encrypted packet to communicate various pieces of information, including desired access through an iptables, ipfw, or pf firewall policy and/or specific commands to execute on the target system. The main application of this program is to protect services such as SSH with an additional layer of security in order to make the exploitation of vulnerabilities much more difficult. The authorization server works by passively monitoring authorization packets via libpcap. Also supported is a robust port knocking implementation based around iptables log messages.
Release Notes: This is the production release of the fwknop C rewrite. It brings Single Packet Authorization to three different Open Source firewalls (iptables, ipfw, and pf), embedded systems, and mobile devices. The fwknopd server runs on Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD. The client runs on all of these platforms as well as Android, the iPhone, and Cygwin under Windows. In addition, the client is portable, and can be compiled as a native Windows binary.
File is a utility that classifies arbitrary files of any type mainly by their contents. It is considered standard on most Unix distributions. It can output either human-readable concise descriptions or MIME types for machine handling.
Release Notes: Differentiation of text and binary files has been improved. Hardwired token finding has been transformed into soft magic. Magic priorities have been adjusted, and magic has been added and improved. Minor bugs have been fixed.
Monitoringplug is a collection of monitoring plugins for Nagios. This collection uses libraries like net-snmp, curl, ldns, selinux, xmlrpc-c, and expat to check services.
Release Notes: This release adds various cleanups and fixes, MySQL checks, check_akcp, and check_webdav.
cZUI is a C++ user interface toolkit for rapid development of zoomable interfaces. It can use multiple graphics/font libraries, and currently supports SGE, SDL, AedGUI, and MFC.
Release Notes: This is a bitrot removal release. Major changes include 64-bit support and a shiny new Cairo backend. Also noteworthy are a few bugfixes in the core and SGE driver, improved makefiles, and new scene nodes.
mkvtoolnix is a set of tools that allow users to display information about, extract streams from, merge several streams into, and split Matroska media files. Supported video stream types include streams from AVIs, Ogg/OGM, RealVideo, MP4 files, and MPEG program streams as well as verious elementary streams (h264/AVC, MPEG1/2, VC1, Dirac). Supported audio formats include AAC, (E)AC3, DTS/DTS-HD, FLAC, MP2, MP3, RealAudio, and Vorbis. Several subtitle formats are supported, including SRT, SSA, ASS, VobSub, and many others.
Release Notes: mkvmerge and mkvextract use the same track IDs again. Performance on Linux has been improved for large files. MP4 files with chapters in unexpected character sets cause a proper error message. The MPEG program stream reader can handle tracks with huge gaps gracefully. Compilation has been fixed if gettext, FLAC, or CURL is not available.
ZK is a highly productive Java framework for building amazing enterprise Web and mobile applications. With event-driven components and an XUL-based markup language, developing is as simple as programming desktops and authoring HTML. Scripting languages include but are not limited to Java, JavaScript, Ruby, and Groovy.
Release Notes: This maintenance release contains over 60 bugfixes, further enhancing the stability of ZK.
LocDemo demonstrates the functionality of libwlocate. After startup, it evaluates the current geographic position of the user and displays it within a map. This solution offers geographic localization that works without the use of GPS and without submitting tracking or position data to commercial providers of such services.
Release Notes: libwlocate and the LocDemo application were ported to Android, allowing the default Android geolocation services to be replaced by a variant with better privacy.
A GCC plugin for fixed-point arithmetic.
A rule-based expert system for manufacturing source code.

Time Passing
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
RICHARD RODRIGUEZ: Rachel Gurney, the titian- haired British actress who portrayed Lady Marjorie Bellamy on the British television series "Upstairs/Downstairs," died late last year.
ACTRESS: Oh, and by the way, the sauce for the poached clams…
ACTRESS: Oh, I thought I'd make the maidoc sauce, milady.
RICHARD RODRIGUEZ: Lady Marjorie presided over a fine, if not grand, house in Edwardian London. Here she is conferring with Mrs. Bridges, the cook, about the menu for an upcoming royal visit.
ACTRESS: And you'll ask Hudson to telephone to Jackson's for the peaches.
ACTRESS: Very good, milady.
RICHARD RODRIGUEZ: Critics have compared "Upstairs/Downstairs" to soap opera, but its true subject was not romance, but the class structure of England in the early 20th century. These servants, gathered below stairs, were as crucial to the plot as the family they served upstairs.
ACTOR: There he is now. Open the door, Hudson.
RICHARD RODRIGUEZ: In the most famous show from the series, the bloated King of England has arrived for dinner on the same night that Sarah, an ex-maid, has shown up pregnant after an affair with Lady Marjorie's son. Helping Lady Marjorie handle the crisis is the butler, Hudson; always Hudson, as much a snob as she, for theirs truly is a conspiracy of the two social classes in the name of propriety.
ACTRESS: Did something happen?
ACTOR: There is a situation requiring your attention below stairs.
RICHARD RODRIGUEZ: Some of the things we viewers learned from Lady Marjorie: Never argue in front of the servants, never wear diamonds in the country, never tolerate married servants. There is now, at least, one American generation too young to know what I am talking about.
But, of course, time– time passing– is one of the persistent themes of "Upstairs/Downstairs." During the three decades that the series was set, the old order of privilege was passing. This ritual of a high society dinner party, so lovingly arranged by the servants, was giving way to an American century of middle-class values.
ACTRESS: Dorothea, you look divine. What are you?
ACTRESS: The Statue of Liberty.
RICHARD RODRIGUEZ: Which raises the question: Why did the world of "Upstairs/Downstairs" interest so many of us Americans, when we were the point of its undoing?
ACTOR: Oh. Sorry for disturbing you.
ACTOR: Oh, no, no. We're quite finished, sir.
RICHARD RODRIGUEZ: William Thackery– in my opinion, 19th century England's finest novelist– once remarked: "There is about a free-born Briton a lick-spittle awe of rank that does not exist under any tyranny in Europe and is only to be found in America." Thackery meant the remark sarcastically, I think. But truly in America, where the middle class rules and social mobility is our point, one is sometimes oddly left in awe and not a little nostalgic for manners and ordered society.
ACTRESS: Ruby, whistle.
ACTRESS: Who is it? Ow!
RICHARD RODRIGUEZ: Brash America began intruding into the late episodes of "Upstairs/Downstairs." American technology, American money, and American celebrity…
ACTOR: That's everything in the motor, milady.
RICHARD RODRIGUEZ: Rachel Gurney tired of her role as Lady Marjorie, so the producers wrote her out of the script.
ACTRESS: Take care of everything, my dear Hudson.
ACTOR: Indeed, milady.
RICHARD RODRIGUEZ: In this, our last vision of her, she sweeps out the front door under the watchful eye of Hudson. She is on her way to America aboard the "Titanic."
Tourists still come to Belgravia to see 165 Eaton Place, where Lady Marjorie presided. London cabbies will tell you, "mainly it's the yanks who come." It's the yanks who are disappointed to discover that the house doesn't exist.
I'm Richard Rodriguez.

Economy & Jobs
Since coming to Washington, I have remained committed to my top priorities of putting forth policies that will promote job creation and economic growth. For too long, Northeast Ohioans have suffered from a stagnant economy and an unemployment rate that is unacceptably high.
Burdensome regulations handed down from Washington, economic uncertainty, and higher taxes are making it harder for our businesses to expand and hire. Furthermore, the President's health care law is forcing many businesses to reduce employee hours in order to comply with the law's mandates, turning full-time work into part-time work at a time when we can least afford it. An independent analysis has documented hundreds of employers across the country, including more than 100 school districts, where employee hours have been cut as a direct result of the President's health care law. Additionally, many businesses are reporting that they are not hiring due to the health care law's penalties.
I will continue to advance solutions that will reduce overregulation that inhibits our job creators from hiring and expanding, put an end to the federal government's excessive spending spree, and pay down our growing $17 trillion debt.
Recently, I introduced the Flexibility to Promote Reemployment Act, a bipartisan bill that would encourage job creation by providing states with more flexibility to help unemployed individuals collect paychecks instead of benefit checks. This legislation is similar to the EMPLOY Act, a bill that I introduced last Congress which sought to create an employment incentive program to encourage employers to hire individuals eligible for unemployment compensation. The premise of the EMPLOY Act was included in the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012.
We in the House of Representatives have passed dozens of jobs bills this Congress, and I remain committed to putting forth bipartisan, commonsense legislation that will grow our workforce.

Columbus — Gov. John Kasich honored one grocery store chain for its participation in a state campaign to combat drug abuse, and he challenged other Ohio businesses to join the effort, too.
Kroger is among the first businesses to commit to displaying new "Start Talking" posters and distributing drug abuse information to shoppers statewide.
"I want to know how many other businesses are willing to do what Kroger's done?" the governor said Aug. 21 during a press conference at the suburban Columbus store where he does his grocery shopping.
Kasich and other state officials have been urging parents and others to have frank discussions with children about the dangers of drug use and abuse, with a focus on combatting improper use of prescription painkillers and the proliferation of heroin.
The state's "Start Talking" campaign includes outreach into schools and targeted messaging to parents.
"Drugs are everywhere in Ohio," said Tracy Plouck, director of the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services. "[It's] very unfortunate, but it is the truth, and the more that we can talk about how to secure medication in the home, within the community, and how to look for signs that young may be using, those are all steps that are adding value to the ability of our young people to grow up and be productive members of our society."
Senate President Keith Faber (R-Celina) said he and his wife are already having discussions with their two children, ages 7 and 9, about drug addition.
"We can treat, we can counsel, but we're a heck of a lot better off if we can prevent," he said. "And this program, 'Start Talking,' is focused on prevention. I encourage you... have that conversation with your kids.... We're trying to do our part in our home. I encourage you to do the same."

BenQ W1200 Home Theater Projector Review
BenQ W1200 vs. BenQ W6000
For your extra $500 or so, you can move up to the W6000 one of my favorite projectors. The W6000 offers a dynamic iris and is that magnitude better on blacks, one of the projectors I refer to to as being ultra high contrast. I don't have a W6000 here, but my money says that it provides better blacks than the W1200 even if you turn off the dynamic iris. From a claims standpoint the W1200 contrast spec is 5000:1, compared to 50,000:1. The W6000 is ISF certified.
The W6000 is also brighter, in both "best" and "brightest" modes. In most cases the W6000 musters 20-35 percent more brightness with comparable color and picture quality. That's not to say that the W6000 picture isn't better – it is. I'm saying comparable modes.
Placement flexibility is also a plus for the W6000, as it offers adjustable lens shfit (vertical and horizontal). If you are rooting for the lower cost W1200, it has a speaker! Let's face it, the W6000 is the step up projector. My own thoughts are that the W6000 is an excellent value, if you can afford the difference, go W6000, you won't be sorry (though you may be broke).
BenQ W1200 vs. Vivitek H1080
Here the W1200 takes on one of the least expensive entry level 1080p home theater projectors. There's a solid $500 difference on the street at this time between the W1200 and the Vivitek H1080. Overall the W1200 has to be considered the better projector for a number of reasons. The question for most will be are you getting enough extra for all that money.
Favoring the Vivitek H1080 FD Projector
Very low price; under $900.
Slightly brighter than the W1200 in both "best" and "brightest" modes
Favoring the BenQ W1200 Projector
More placement flexibility – due to more range of its zoom lens
Sharper image
Slightly better color overall and on skin tones
Better blacks
Less rainbows – for those of us sensitive
Longer rating in terms of lamp life for lower operational cost Both have speakers, a one year warranty, and have other similarities (we liked both remotes). The Vivitek gets you started at a rock bottom price. The BenQ W1200 will deliver more for about half again the price of the Vivitek H1080FD
Optoma HD20 vs. BenQ W1200
In this case the Optoma HD20 one of the most popular home theater projectors of all time, does battle with the BenQ W1200. The sub $1000 HD20 was the first under $1000 1080p projector to ship, and is now in its second year. Like the Vivitek, the HD20 is "entry level" but it's still more good enough to impress first time viewers. No problem. The Optoma has about the same lens offset as the BenQ W1200, but the BenQ has a 1.5:1 zoom vs. 1.2:1 for a good deal more placement flexibility. Color wise, right out of the box, the BenQ is the better of the two.
The HD20 and W1200 are about equally bright in "best" mode but the BenQ has perhaps 200 lumens extra when comparing brightest modes. Both have your standard one year limited warranty, which is typical for lower cost projectors, though a few projectors in the range have much better warranties. The HD20 has the slight edge in lamp life.
When it comes to picture, both calibrate well, though I'll take the W1200. It may be a touch oversaturated but it has a rich look to the picture, that impresses.
The BenQ gives you CFI as well for smooth motion on sports and whatever else you like it on. The frame interpolation offerings are by my taste definitely too severe for watching a movie, if you want any hint of the movie look and feel. I believe I was seeing more rainbows based on what I wrote back then.

Prague (Jun. 18)
(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)
The Jewish quarter of Prague was practically submerged as a result of a flood of the River Vltava.
The ancient Jewish cemetery was totally washed away.
The age of the Prague cemetery can not be definitely determined. as the oldest tombstones were destroyed in the massacre of 1389. The first decree referring to the cemetery dates from year 1254 and was promulgated by Przemysl II, who decreed that the Jewish cemetery should not be damaged or desecrated.
According to the historian, Tomek of Prague, the greater part of the ground covered by this cemetery was in the beginning of the 15th century laid out in gardens belonging to Christians. Down to the time of the Hussite wars the Jews are said to have had another cemetery, called the Judengarten, behind the walls of the Altstadt, between Brenntengasse and Breitengasse: it was destroyed by Ladislaus in 1478 Jews from abroad seem to have been buried in the latter cemetery and Jews of Prague in the former, according to a decree issued by Przemysl Ottocar II in 1254. The Prague cemetery was desecrated in 1389 and again in 1744, after the departure of the Croatians.
