Johann Sebastian Bach
Regarded as perhaps the greatest composer of all time, Bach was known during his lifetime primarily as an outstanding organ player and technician. The youngest of eight children born to musical parents, Johann Sebastian was destined to become a musician. While still young, he had mastered the organ and violin, and was also an excellent singer. At the age of ten, both of his parents died within a year of each other. Young Sebastian was fortunate to be taken in by an older brother, Johann Christoph, who most likely continued his musical training. At the age of fifteen, Bach secured his first position in the choir of St. Michael's School in Lüneburg. In 1717, Bach moved on to another post, this time as Kapellmeister at the court of Prince Leopold. During the years Bach was in the service of the courts, he was obliged to compose a great deal of instrumental music: hundreds of pieces for solo keyboard, orchestral dance suites, trio sonatas for various instruments, and concertos for various instruments and orchestra. Towards the end of 1749, Bach's failing eyesight was operated on by a traveling English surgeon, the catastrophic results of which were complete blindness. His health failing, Bach nevertheless continued to compose, dictating his work to a pupil. He finally succombed to a stroke on July 28, 1750. He was buried in an unmarked grave at St. Thomas' Church.

Nokia has unveiled a smaller version of its successful N97 mobile phone that allows users to publish their location and status updates direct from the phone to their Facebook page.
Nokia said the facility, which is called 'Lifecasting with Ovi' "goes beyond just publishing your status". The handset manufacturer said the function was likely to "trigger new kinds of communication patterns, such as sending messages or status updates or even navigating to a friend or a place".
Measuring 113x52.5x14.2mm, Nokia says the handset has been designed for the "social and style-conscious consumer". It features a slide out QWERTY keyboard, a tilting 3.2in touchscreen display and 8GB of on-board memory and support for micro-SD cards up to 16GB.
Users will also benefit from A-GPS, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity and a 5Mp Camera with Carl Zeiss lens, dual LED camera flash and video light. The camera also offers video capture at a resolution of 640x480 at up to 30 fps video capture.
The A-GPS works in conjunction with Ovi Maps to offer global pedestrian navigation. Users can also access premium content from Lonely Planet, Michelin and Wcities, which Nokia said turns the handset into "the world's smallest travel companion".
The handset comes pre-loaded with Nokia's app store, where users can download applications and services such as games, videos and podcasts, productivity tools and web services. N97 Mini users are also given access to the Nokia Music Store where they download music tracks direct to the phone
"People want to bring their physical and online worlds together via the internet. The Nokia N97 mini is designed for this new social internet and to help navigate people and places. With lifecasting, the Nokia N97 mini and Ovi usher in the next chapter of personal and location-aware internet," said Jonas Geust, vice president of Nokia Nseries.
The Nokia N97 will be available in October and is expected to be priced at €450 (£395)

Rovio is catapulting the Angry Birds Trilogy onto Wii U and Wii later this summer, with a trailer dating it for the Nintendo systems on August 13. The compendium, comprised of Angry Birds, AB Seasons, and AB Rio, plucks some extra content on Wii U and Wii, while the Wii U version is off-TV compatible and of course features touchscreen controls.
Back when publisher Activision announced the Wii U and Wii versions of the trilogy, it also revealed the mobile money-maker had proven a success on consoles, too. The Xbox 360, PS3, and 3DS versions released late last year shifted a million copies by February 2013.

Utilizing our recent Best Channel Vendors survey results, we re-sorted the data to determine which manufacturers had the highest product-related scores in the survey. As a result, we had a field of 13 manufacturers with scores we felt were high enough for consideration. Among those companies, Elo and ToshibaTEC declined to participate in this round of testing. Of those willing to participate, we used input from readers and Nelson to establish our baseline target specs for the test units, which we felt represented a typical regular-duty terminal. We asked manufacturers to provide Nelson with their model that had (as closely as possible) a 1.8 GHz Intel Dual Core Atom Processor, 2 GB RAM, a mechanical hard drive, and POS Ready 9 as the OS. If you want more info on why we chose these specs, visit the extended article online (the link appears at the end of this article). Once the units began arriving, Nelson began his testing.
How To Test For Speed
Testing the processing capabilities of the POS units was something we definitely wanted to do. Of course, if every manufacturer was able to exactly meet our specs, this comparison test might produce exactly the same speeds and prove to be a wasted effort. As it would turn out, we received a variety of slightly different configurations, which yielded some surprising results.
To facilitate the test, Nelson took the time to craft a SQL-based VisualBasic application designed to equally stress the processors, hard drives, and Ethernet components of each system. The test included measuring the time it took for 5,000 PLUs to be added, updated, and deleted. Additionally, since many vendors use local database systems to contain offline transaction history in the event of power failure or a credit card gateway drop, Nelson crafted his test software to mimic this situation.
Below is a short video of Nelson walking you through the testing process.
Servicing Your All-In-One
The ability of VARs or even your customers to easily service the terminals also played a factor in our testing. Nelson found the units to fall across a spectrum of serviceability ease. Indeed, many were classified as "bench repair only," which means that Nelson felt the units would be best serviced off-site by a bench technician. Others could be serviced on-site with minor considerations.
Many manufacturers claim that their units can be easily serviced, but what that means exactly is open to interpretation. Does that mean a hard drive can be swapped out? What about replacing the entire motherboard? The important thing to note here is that the results of the testing are Nelson's opinion based on his years of servicing POS equipment.
Touch Screen Testing
The part of the POS system your customers are going to experience most often is the touch screen. For that reason, we wanted to see how the screens responded to the most basic of tests. Nelson opened Windows' Paint application on each unit and dragged his finger to create a line. Additionally, he performed a series of gestures where he tapped his finger around the screen.

The optimizer has no stats about the distribution of length(lseg(boundingbox)) and so it does not realize that it'd be reasonable to use that index for a query like "length(lseg(boundingbox)) > largevalue". As of 7.5 this issue will be addressed, but in existing releases I think you could only get that index to be used by forcing it with enable_seqscan = off :-( As a short-term workaround it might be reasonable to store that length as an independent table column, which you could put an index on. You could use triggers to ensure that it always matches the boundingbox. regards, tom lane

CHICAGO (Dec. 20)
Officials of the First National ## of Chicago told a group of Jewish leader that they fully disassociated themselves from ## statement by a British banker that the Chicago bank had participated "on the Arab side in a $200 million loan to Abu Dhabi that ## syndicated and organized by Morgan Grenfell and Co. of London.
The local bank officials and Jewish leaders met this week after an article appeared in the Chicago Sun-Times on Dec. 13 by Bernard Nossiter from London stating that Douglas-Home, the Morgan ## director for the Middle East and son of Britain's Foreign Secretary Sir Alec Douglas-House, had told him that other leading U.S. banks-including the First National City Bank and Chase Manhattan-were invited to participate in the syndicate loan but turned the offer down as "too politically sensitive."
Nossiter wrote that Douglas-Home told him, "They decided they were on the Jewish side of the fence. We are on the Arab. It was a commercial decision taken some time ago. There is more business to be done in the Arab world. It has 80 million people, against million in Israel. Also, there is less competition; Rothschild's can't lend to the Arabs."
Representatives of the Public Affairs Committee of the United Jewish Fund, headed by its honorary chairman, Philip M. Klutznick, met with senior officials of the Chicago bank to express grave concern over the bank's participation in the loan and indignation over the statement by Douglas-Home.
During the meeting, which was also attended by Robert Abboud, vice-chairman of the bank's board who flew in from London to participate, Abboud issued a statement declaring that it was important to the bank that the State of Israel continue to prosper and develop in security and peace and reaffirmed the bank's gratitude to the Jewish community of Chicago for its valuable, contribution to the bank's growth. Abboud assailed Douglas-Home's statement as "highly offensive and inaccurate, especially since they seem to associate the First National Bank of Chicago with them. We are proud of our relation ship with Israel and nothing will change that."
According to Nossiter the $200 million loan was a deal "apparently made to finance Arab arms from the Soviet Union," made with the approval of the British government and negotiated during the Yom Kippur War and signed just after it ended. Nossiter also reported that in Chicago, Robert K. Wilmouth, executive vice-president in charge of the bank's international section, confirmed that the bank had joined the consortium but declined to say how much the Chicago bank had put up.
Abboud told the Jewish leaders that the loan to the Persian Gulf sheikdom was initiated before the war and completed Nov. 7. There is a covenant in the loan agreement that prevents use of the funds for any war purposes, he said. The bank intends to enforce this convenant to the letter, he affirmed, adding that the loan is similar to that made to Israel and one of a series of loans for regional economic development.
Among the Jewish leaders at the meeting were: Robert L. Adler, president, JWF; Rabbi Oscar Z. Fasman, president, Chicago Zionist Federation; Hamilton M. Loeb Jr., president, Jewish Federation; James P. Rice, executive director, JUF; and A. Abbot Rose, executive director, Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith.

How To Negotiate The Best Home Insurance Settlement
Back to Resources
Article 4 of 6 in Get the Most Out of Home Insurance Claims
It is not uncommon to disagree with an insurance adjuster during the home insurance claims process. If you feel your home insurance settlement offer was too low, you can dispute the amount. If you elect to dispute your homeowners insurance settlement, you will need to be prepared to defend your reason to disagree with the insurance adjuster by gathering evidence of your damages, your financial loss, and the cost to fix or replace your property.
When to Dispute a Home Insurance Claim
Your home insurance settlement will not exceed your insurance policy limits. so if your loss is more than your policy will pay, then you will not be fully compensated. Normally the policy limits are paid in full after catastrophic damage like in the total loss of a home after a fire or hurricane. In cases where the home insurance settlement was not paid up to the policy limits, you may feel the amount paid did not adequately cover the damages that you sustained. If you are able to show that your total costs and losses were not paid for by the insurance company, then you can prepare yourself for a home insurance dispute. Keep in mind that the process will require you document every conversation and keep records of every expense related to the repairs on your home. You cannot win a home insurance dispute without being prepared to show why you should recover more than is offered .
Is the Home Insurance Settlement Repair Related?
If the dispute of your home insurance settlement is repair related, ask your adjuster exactly what part of the repair estimate they are having an issue with paying. If it is in the labor cost or the materials, ask your contractor to write a letter explaining their labor or material costs. It may be necessary to get a second estimate to show that the first estimate was appropriate. This may seem unnecessary to you, but if you are disputing your home insurance settlement, you need to show the company that you made every effort to get your home repaired for the best price.
Is the Home Insurance Settlement for Personal Property?
If your dispute over the home insurance settlement is for the contents of your home. go over the property forms that you submitted. You will need to know if your policy pays replacement cost or actual cash value to calculate what you are owed. If you are owed replacement cost, you will be owed what you paid to replace each item, so save your receipts as you replace your personal property. If your policy pays out the actual cash value, then you will need to take depreciation into account. Find the original receipts, dig up old bank statements, or show proof of credit card purchases to establish when your items were purchased and calculate their depreciation accordingly. You can do this by looking up a depreciation schedule on the internet. It may help to create a spread sheet containing each item and the depreciation amount
which you feel is correct and what the insurance adjuster actually gave you. Talk over the shortage with the adjuster and see if the depreciation amount can be negotiated to get you a little higher home insurance settlement as this will help you replace some of the necessary items.
Not Getting the Home Insurance Settlement You Were Expecting?
If you have obtained ahome insurance settlement that you feel does not adequately pay you for the damages you incurred, contact your home insurance adjuster. Follow a few simple tips to prepare yourself:
Expect the insurance adjuster to defend their position on your payment. However, if you can show in concrete documentation why your home insurance settlement should be more, most companies will make a supplemental payment.
TIP: You may be asked at the time of the settlement to sign a form that releases the insurance company from further responsibility for the claim. If you do not agree with the proposed settlement amount, do not sign .
Homeowners Insurance Settlement Made in Bad Faith
Insurance companies are bound by law to act in a manner that is fair. Unjust delays in handling your claim as well as lack of fair dealings could indicate a home insurance claim process that was handled unfairly, or in bad faith.. If you feel your claim was prolonged to the point of causing you hardship, or that your home insurance settlement amount was ridiculously low or unfair, the insurance company may have acted inbad faith. If you have been treated unfairly, contact an attorney and have them review your settlement and consider filing a home insurance lawsuit. Consultations are free, and a home insurance attorney can be an important asset in getting the fair value of your claim.

Santa Anita: Interaction can step up in San Marcos
ARCADIA, Calif. – Considering the way trainer Ron McAnally's South Americans imports are running this month, Interaction deserves to be favored in Saturday's $150,000 San Marcos Stakes at Santa Anita.
Last Saturday, the McAnally-trained Suggestive Boy scored a convincing win in the Grade 2 Arcadia Stakes, vaulting to the fore of the California turf mile division.
Interaction could have the same role in the turf marathon division in coming months.
The winner of South America's top race, the Group 1 Carlos Pellegrini Stakes, in Argentina in 2009, Interaction struggled last year in his first season with McAnally, winning 1 race in 6 starts – an optional claimer at Betfair Hollywood Park in June. But Interaction ended 2012 with a fast-closing second in the Grade 2 Hollywood Turf Cup on Dec. 15, finishing three-quarters of a length behind Grandeur.
McAnally's enthusiasm was boosted by Suggestive Boy's win, and he said that Interaction is doing equally as well. There is a difference between the two, though.
"The other horse is more aggressive," McAnally said of Suggestive Boy's training. "This horse is like an old cow. You can do anything with him. He does things easily."
A closer, Interaction will be ridden by Joe Talamo, and may need a quick rally to win the San Marcos, which is run over 1 1/4 miles on turf. "He comes from off the pace and he has a good turn of foot," McAnally said.
Interaction has drawn the rail in a field of 14 that includes three stakes winners since the start of 2012 – defending champion Slim Shadey, All Squared Away, and Richard's Kid. Seven of the other entrants have been second or third in a stakes since the start of 2012.
Richard's Kid has won 11 of 39 starts and $2,301,385 but is racing on turf for only the second time in his career. He finished seventh in the 2009 Eddie Read Stakes at Del Mar.
Interaction was a Group 1 stakes winner over about 1 1/4 miles on turf in Argentina in October 2009, and third to Slim Shadey at that distance in the Grade 2 John Henry Turf Championship in September.
Slim Shadey was sixth as the 3-2 favorite in the Grade 2 San Gabriel Stakes over 1 1/8 miles on turf on Jan. 13. He was fourth in early stretch, but faded late after jockey Garrett Gomez feared that the 5-year-old gelding has taken a bad step. Slim Shadey was not injured in the incident.
"On the way home, he was full of himself," trainer Simon Callaghan said.
Saturday, Gary Stevens rides Slim Shadey for the first time. Stevens is expected to have Slim Shadey near the lead, a style used to win the 2012 San Marcos.
"I think he needs to be forwardly placed when he can," Callaghan said. "The two stakes he won he was on the lead the whole way."
Slim Shadey finished three lengths behind an unlucky Juniper Pass in the San Gabriel. Juniper Pass was in traffic in early stretch and finished fourth to Jeranimo. The winner of the 2011 San Juan Capistrano Handicap over about 1 3/4 miles on turf, Juniper Pass could have been in the first three with better racing luck in the San Gabriel, a race that was on the shorter side of best trip.

I definitely think the melodic synth could use some tweaking. Also you had a great idea, what you needed to do was add some more to the original song. Another verse, bar, hell even a transition into the same/different thing. Downloaded +1. First song of yours I've heard, starting to listen to others now.
you're right, the main synth was basically a preset that i put very little work into, i just wanted to get the idea out as fast as possible, thats also why it didn't really have much else in terms of another verse or anything. I'll try to focus on getting more complete ideas out there. Thanks for commenting and listening!
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Good. The downside is that bass section kinda undeveloped. And that melody is a bit too much an ear razor. Not fits the calm power it could be here.
I was definitely struggling with the melody synth, haha. Thanks for listening and giving me feedback!
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
That was incredible!
While I do feel that the bass could have be a tad bit stronger, I absolutely love how this was put together!
Keep doing what you do!
Thanks! you're right about the bass, I kind of rushed this track which is not a good thing haha, but hopefully I'll make more stuff like this in the future. Thanks for listening!!

An Act of Remembrance was held in Warminster on Sunday to commemorate two locally-based soldiers killed in Afghanistan on September 15.
Sergeant Gareth Thursby, 29, and Private Thomas Wroe, 18, both of 3rd Battalion The Yorkshire Regiment, were shot dead at a checkpoint by a man in a police uniform in Helmand Province.
The Royal British Legion ceremony, held at The Minster Church during its Sunday service, is the third carried out this year, for nine men killed since the battalion left for Afghanistan in February.
At the start of the service the legion standards of the Warminster, Edington and Heytesbury Women's branches were paraded through the church to the altar where the Ode of Remembrance was read out, and the Last Post played. It was followed by two minutes silence, and prayers.
Warminster legion vice-chairman Brian Darvill said the service was well-attended.
"This is something we have started doing since six soldiers were killed back in March, and unfortunately we have been here twice since then," he said.
"The Minster Church is a meaningful venue as it has the candle which was lit here when the battalion first left six months ago, which will be extinguished when they return.
"It was simply an event where people from the town could get together and remember these men who lost their lives, and all the soldiers fighting out in Afghanistan."
A fundraising concert for the 3 Yorks Benevolent Fund, featuring the Warminster Military Wives Choir and other local musicians, takes place on Saturday at the Minster Church, starting at 7.30pm.

After five seasons of "Californication," Hank Moody (David Duchovny) will finally find Faith… after a fashion.
Entertainment Weekly is reporting that the sixth season of "Californication" will debut a woman named Faith who is being conceived as the leading character for a potential spinoff TV series.
According to the report, Faith is in her mid-to-late twenties and she is described as "what happens when an innocent young Catholic school girl is exposed to the evils of rock and roll and falls heads over heels in love with the music and the men who make it." The description also notes that Faith has traveled with many bands and that she is considered to be a muse by some big name musicians.
Unlike Hank Moody, Faith is also said to be "quite religious" despite their shared love of sex, drugs and music.
While most backdoor spinoffs only introduce a new character in a single episode, Faith will be in nine episodes of "Californication's" sixth season. However, the potential spinoff is not a sure thing and it will largely hinge on how the audience responds to Faith. So if viewers end up hating her, Faith probably won't get her own series.
Thus far, there's no word on who will play Faith, but casting should begin later this year. "Californication" will return for its sixth season on Showtime in early 2013.

BB5003 MP3 Player Lego Brick
This is a MP3 player but instead of using either internal memory or that of a USB stick it uses a Micro SD card (the ones most mobile phones use) this also gives you another way of transferring content from your phone to a PC or visa versa.
It is 5.5x3.x1.5cm and mine was yellow but I think there are other colours. Apart from it's slightly larger size the top view looks exactly like a Lego brick. There are eight nodules on top three are dummy and the other five are the controls.
The ends of the brick are where things are attached. One end supplies power for the solid rechargeable battery, plug in the supplied USB for six hours to get a full charge. Beside the mini USB socket is a standard 3.5mm socket for earbuds. The other end has the micro SD socket, cards are inserted face down.
There is a small instruction sheet but once you have held down the correct button for a few seconds to turn it on all the controls are obvious. You of course have no display so the only options are to move forward or backwards by a track. Volume was adequate for earbuds. I prefer my own as in ear buds are not comfortable for me after a while but those supplied are okay.
Available via this link for $45 US and an additional $3 US for postage. So that's around £24 remember it does not include the Micro SD card.
"Snow Angle" Musical Alarm Clock with MP3
This is called 'Snow Angel 'The Audio Artist'' on it's face. My unit was appropriately white.
It is 25x10.5x3.5cm however the mains lead would add 2cm to the last figure the depth. The reason I quote that separately is that it can be run on 4x'AA' batteries.
Each end of the face are two speakers that give a good sound for such a small unit. More accurately the face is a while pierced metal grill with a 7cm wide white plastic insert in the centre that contains a 5x3cm four line LCD display (black on grey). The top line has eight small icons. These are sleep timer, alarms one, two and three. Support for Lan, SD card slot, FM radio and battery state.
Line two and three are the time display with volume level shown by increasing bars on the left side (1 to 6) I found level two was fine when beside your bed unless you are a heavy sleeper. The forth line tells you the number of the MP3 track you are playing and if you are play sequentially or randomly.
I was disappointed with the FM radio reception was rather poor and there is nowhere for an external aerial.
Being woken by your favourite music is nice and remember there are three alarms so dependant on the one you choose you can have each with a different track. The units are supplied with various amounts of internal memory (mine was 1GB) and together with an external SD card that gives you a good amount of available music to suit all your moods.
Available from the link below for $48 US plus a standard delivery charge of $3 US however large or small your order is. So with the current exchange rate that's around £26.

(FOXBOROUGH, Mass.) — In his 12th year in the NFL, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has done it all. He is a two-time Super Bowl MVP, two-time NFL MVP, seven-time Pro Bowler, and a two-time first team All-Pro.
Now he'll attempt to become only the third quarterback in league history to win four Super Bowl rings when the Pats take on the New York Giants in Super Bowl 46.
So how is Brady approaching the big game?
"It's a football game for us," Brady said at a news conference Thursday. "It might be the Super Bowl for everybody else, but for us, we are going there trying to win a football game. So, put all the distractions aside and don't' let anything get in the way of our preparation."
The championship showdown will take place on Sunday, February 5th. Kickoff is set for 6:30 P.M Eastern.

MoveOn.org Defends Anti-Iraq War Ads
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
JUDY WOODRUFF: We are delighted that we now can go to Tom Matzzie. He is the leader of the coalition running the ads against the war in Iraq. He's Washington director of MoveOn.org.
Tom Matzzie, thank you for being with us. And, again, our apologizes to you for the holdup and to the audience.
We had just been talking with Brad Blakeman of Freedom's Watch. We asked him to look at one of the ads being run by the groups in your coalition arguing that the war should stop. He called this ad a scare tactic. He said you say things in there that are not true, such as pointing out — claiming that there's going to be a draft. How do you answer him?
TOM MATZZIE, MoveOn.org Washington Director: Those were the words of President Bush's own war czar, General Lute. Those were not our words. We merely took the audio of General Lute and put it on the ad.
One thing I'll say very specifically right now, Brad Blakeman, you know, should be held to account for not coming in public and debating the war. And I'll challenge him to a debate right now. I'm a taxpaying citizen. The 3.4 million members of MoveOn.org are taxpayers and citizens of this country. And there should be an open, public debate about the war in Iraq.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Let me also just come back to the point about what you say in your ad about the draft. There's a nonprofit, nonpartisan group called FactCheck.org. They also concluded, in their words, that it was "misleading," that you were twisting the words of a general when you talk about a draft in your ad. How do you comment? What do you say to that?
TOM MATZZIE: Well, the general's words stand on their own. I don't think we need to, you know, interpret them for anybody.
I'll say, regarding scare tactics, this new group of Mr. Blakeman's has a picture an airplane flying into the 9/11 — on 9/11 into the Twin Towers. And to talk about that in the context of the Iraq debate is outrageous. Iraq did not attack us on 9/11. There were no Iraqis who were hijacking those airplanes on 9/11. And, you know, we've gone through this debate before in this country, and those sorts of scare tactics should not be on the table.
Responding to a pro-Iraq war ad
JUDY WOODRUFF: Tom Matzzie, let me ask you now to look at one of those ads, and I think it includes the one you're referring to. This is one of the ads being run, starting this week by the group Freedom's Watch. Let's take a look.
VICKI STRONG, Mother of Killed Servicemember: Jesse died the week before the Iraqi election, and he sacrificed for our freedom and for their freedom. For Congress to switch votes for political reasons while we're making progress in Iraq to me is unthinkable.
If we surrender now, it's giving the message to terrorists that they can do what they want and get away with it. We're starting to see results. The price is being paid. Don't give up. We've already had one 9/11; we don't need another.
JUDY WOODRUFF: These ads and ads similar to those using Iraq veterans, some of whom have lost limbs in Iraq, are being run in many parts of the country. What do you have to say to the message in those ads?
TOM MATZZIE: I think it's a very compelling story that the woman is telling, and I sympathize with her greatly, and my heart goes out to her for her loss. I think, though, you could find any one family that tells one story.
But already we see in the new CBS-New York Times poll, for example, that two-thirds of veterans and military families think that the surge is not going well in Iraq. And that's an indicator of what really is the truth about what's going on, on the ground.
So the story about progress needs to be not just told by the Pentagon and White House spin operation, but by the facts. The bloodiest summer yet in Iraq, 17 of 38 parliament -- excuse me, of cabinet numbers in the Iraqi cabinet are boycotting the government, and the parliament's on vacation right now. This is not progress.
"A desperate, desperate move"
JUDY WOODRUFF: Your ads, which have been running for a number of months -- and when I say "your ads," the ads that have been paid for by a coalition, including MoveOn.org -- have been running for some time around the country. You've spent millions of dollars. You've been targeting whom, Republican members of Congress? Have you changed any votes?
TOM MATZZIE: Well, September is going to be a telling time for that question. But, ultimately, it's not just how people change their votes. It's things like John Warner yesterday, you know, telling the president that he needs to start withdrawing troops. It's Peter Pace, the president's chairman of the Joint Chiefs, saying that next year we need to draw down as many as half of our troops in Iraq.
Right now, the White House is in absolute meltdown over Iraq. The generals are telling them they need to bring troops home. You have Republican senators saying they need to do the same thing. This is a desperate, desperate move by the White House with an ad campaign attacking, swift-boating Republicans who are saying, "Enough is enough."
JUDY WOODRUFF: Well, we've heard two sides of this now. Tom Matzzie with MoveOn.org, we thank you, and again apologies for that difficulty we had earlier. Thank you very much.
TOM MATZZIE: Thank you, Judy.

ACLU stepping up challenge to RI graduation tests
The Rhode Island chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union leveled new accusations against the state Board of Education on Monday, accusing it of ignoring laws meant to keep government open and accountable amid a dispute over a new graduation testing requirement.
The claims by the ACLU and other groups are contained in an amended lawsuit that follows other complaints brought this summer over a standardized test they say is an inappropriate graduation requirement, and which puts 4,000 Rhode Island high school students at risk of not graduating this spring because of their scores.
The groups had earlier petitioned the board to consider changing the requirement, and they sued in July when the board failed to take up the petition. The ACLU filed a second lawsuit in August challenging the board's plan to hold a private retreat at which it would discuss the controversial testing requirement. A Superior Court judge ultimately ordered any discussion of testing at the August retreat be held in public.
Several weeks after the first lawsuit was filed in July, the board took up the petition on Sept. 9. It listened to some public comment on the testing requirement, but went into executive session behind closed doors, the ACLU said. During that section of the meeting, the board held a discussion and voted 6-5 to reject the petition.
Steven Brown, executive director of the ACLU, said the discussion and vote should have been done openly.
"That is the essence of what the open meetings law is all about," Brown said. "They need to have the discussion in public so that all of us can understand their reasons."
Among those suing are a former Department of Education employee and a parent, who are also calling on Gov. Lincoln Chafee to intervene to uphold government transparency, something to which he has said he is committed.
"Gov. Chafee set a high bar for transparency, yet he watches silently as his board chair ducks under that bar," said Rick Richards, a former employee of the Department of Education, who is among those suing the board and its chair, Eva-Marie Mancuso.
A spokesman for Mancuso said she was reviewing the matter with the board's lawyers and had no comment.
Christine Hunsinger, a spokeswoman for the governor, said the law allows the board to privately discuss litigation, and that's what they did.
Brown called the response "truly shameful," and said while the board had the right to discuss the lawsuit in private, it is a different matter to debate and vote on the petition in a closed session.
"It's hard to imagine a more blatant violation of the open meetings law, and it's unfortunate to see the governor's office shrugging it off this way," he said.

In all media precincts, the Yankees are taking a beating.
If the Bombers were a prizefighter, they would most resemble Mike Tyson rolling around on the canvas looking for his mouthpiece after being hammered by Buster Douglas.
Unlike Tyson, the Yankees have a savior to pick them up off the canvas: The organization has Derek Jeter to lead it out of this mess with Alex Rodriguez.
The captain's presence and persona are uplifting. They can cleanse any muck surrounding the organization. In order for fans to keep the faith, they need a reason to believe, a face they can trust. Jeter, the transcendent one, is that man.
"Invariably consumers turn to sports for relief and distraction from life's problems and setbacks," said a network executive with ties to baseball. "Alex's woes are not exactly uplifting. The Yankees should embrace Derek Jeter's image, wrap their corporate arms around it. He is going to be huge for them on so many levels going forward this season."
There are fresh allegations that Rodriguez obtained performance-enhancing drugs between 2009 and 2012 through an alleged link to Miami-based Anthony (The Biochemist) Bosch. This situation, along with an MLB investigation and the question of whether Rodriguez can return to third base after a second hip surgery, makes his future in pinstripes highly uncertain. A-Rod and Bosch have denied the allegations.
Beyond Rodriguez's story, there are flashbacks to the way the Bombers flickered out in the 2012 postseason, along with the unusual sight of empty seats at Yankee Stadium for playoff games. Regular-season attendance was down last season, and ratings for games on the Yankees Entertainment & Sports Network hit a nine-year low.

TWO shop workers turned themselves into Greek statues for a day to raise money for a national cancer charity.
Debbie Wears and Eric Hoath, who both work at the One Stop shop and post office in Yarm Road, Darlington, swapped their normal uniforms for togas and flip-flops and stood still from 9am to 5pm to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support.
They took it in turns to stand on a plinth outside the shop on Saturday, while staff sold cakes and tea and coffee to passersby.
Ms Wears said: "We were all wanting to do something a bit different for the Macmillan coffee morning fundraiser, so we came up with this idea.
"It was quite tough standing still for that amount of time and some children would try and make you laugh as well, but that was all part of the fun.
"There are traffic lights just outside our shop so it was funny watching the reaction from the drivers as they queued up.
"Every now and again I'd wink at them, which they thought was brilliant."
The pair have so far raised £202 for the charity, while three members of staff from the shop are running in the Newcastle Stampede on Sunday to collect funds for the British Heart Foundation.
To sponsor them, call into the shop.

Domestic & International Group Travel
Passage Tours partners with travel professionals to assist
in custom domestic and international group travel.
Travelers bound together on a journey of faith…this is our definition of religious tourism. Faith-based travel offers profound opportunities to learn about particular traditions and their history. But there's more to it than that. By walking in the footsteps of Jesus, Moses, Luther, Wesley, or the Saints, spiritual lives are touched and deepened. And sharing the road with fellow "pilgrims" creates unique bonds of friendship that last a lifetime.Sample itinerary – Israel's Sacred Stories Sample itinerary – Pathways of Jesus Sample itinerary – Lutherland Sample itinerary – Life and legacy of John Wesley
We pay close attention to variety when developing intergenerational travel. Our family-oriented destinations of Costa Rica and Puerto Rico offer an abundant array of fun activities, sunny beaches, and learning situations. Placing families in new settings creates opportunities to learn and grow together in unique ways. A tour becomes the family adventure of a lifetime. Don't try this at home…it's not possible!
Pre- and post-cruise land arrangements in fascinating port-of-call. Our Inland Passages are 2- to 4-day tours that provide passengers the opportunity to explore in depth the initial or final cities/regions on their itinerary. These mini-tours nicely round out the on-board experiences of a cruise.
Arrangements for our student tours begin with this question: How can we assist teachers/group leaders in meeting their educational goals while having fun along the way? Having ourselves been teachers in bi-cultural settings, we can offer knowledgeable assistance in all aspects of tour preparation: itinerary and activities, type of accommodations, support materials, and safety issues. We can also arrange language classes and family stays in many of our destinations.
A new and younger generation of travelers is creating an opportunity to rethink and redevelop group tours. Less structure, more flexibility, and greater choice of activities are key concepts around which Open Passages are designed. After a locally guided orientation tour at each destination, tour participants are provided with information to guide them as they pursue individual interests. Tour managers also serve to advise and assist tour participants in planning and carrying out their personal activities.
Shared interests draw people together in meaningful ways. Special Passages are tours designed with a particular interest or theme in mind. Crafters, cooks, wine connoceurs, beer aficionados, gardeners, agriculturalists, art and music lovers…for every interest there are countless ways to construct an exciting itinerary. Your choir, band, or orchestra can share their love of music in concert on a performance tour. We can bring travelers into contact with experts who share their passion and enhance their skills. We can also assist in arranging "purpose-driven passages." These are mission groups and opportunities to engage in "voluntourism."Brochure – English Country Life Sample itinerary – Blossoms of Belgium and the Netherlands Sample itinerary – Dancing through Spain Flyer – Bavaria & Bohemia: History, Beer and the Art of Brewing
This is our broadest category. The tours found here might be labeled "general sightseeing" due to their appeal to travelers with a broad range of interests. But don't take this to mean the itineraries are "watered down." The activities included in these tours are intentionally chosen to provide participants with engaging opportunities to learn, experience, and explore.Sample itinerary – Wonders of Costa Rica Sample itinerary – A Russian Mosaic Sample itinerary – Classical Spain

Book idea (1/3) (WW2 with a twist) (long) please read all?
ok so this is one of 3 book ideas im Going to be posting.
so basically it starts out in 1941 in a mysterious building.
there are 5 people with these weird collars around there necks and each is separated from one another with a leg chained to the floor...
there is
Viktor Fedorov. Age 18 Nationality Russia. Tall Strong build Black hair blue eyes. ( has a drinking habit and is a very rude perverse man. he is however a battle hardened individual who handles a PPh-41 quiet nicely. has a deep hatred for katrine but they Develop a relationship later on)
Katrine Blaurock. Age 15 Nationality German. Tall Athletic Build Blond Hair blue eyes. ( Daughter of an important nazi General who couldn't amount in the military because she was a woman. has a older brother who is a high ranking lutenit. wants to impress her father but cant. hates all the other members especially Viktor but softens up later on. has a P08 Artillery model)
Chang Kubo "Tants". Age 14 Nationality Japanese. Slight frame. Black Hair Green Eyes. ( Younger brother of the person who was supposed to be taken. Is scared and develops a crush on amber. Carry's his brothers tanto at all times)
Rick Walker. Age 16. Nationality American. Medium Frame Brown hair Blue Eyes ( Typical american from ww2 his father served in the military and he is a very good shot with a springfield. grew up in texas and builds a good friend ship with amber. is somewhat the leader)
Amber Rollins. Age 15. Nationality American. Light frame. Red Hair Blue eyes. ( Works for the government and grew up in present day american. and its funny how the typical american teen (even with training) deals with the situation.)
they all slowly awake and a jumble of languages is shouted at one another. Finally a message is sent from the collars each a different language for each.
the message is
" It has come to our attention that a outside force has intervened with what is called the "World War Two" It has the potential to alter the outcome and destroy the human race. That is why each of you has been chosen to help us stop it. you are brought here because each of you has some sort of Special training that we need to stop what has been called. "Project 19". These collars around your necks have video cameras and microphones so we can see and hear everything you do and we can contact you directly with them. If any of you does not comply or harms another member of the team they are also fixed with a remote detonation device so i would advise you don't mess with them. your target is a small research factory in the heart of berlin. you shall be released and let to the weapons locker in just a minute..."
SO basically a Government organization from modern day have heard about a Crazed scientist going back to ww2 times to give the nazis a new weapon of apocalyptic proportions. So a group travels back in time and sets up base they then recruit 4 people to accomplish this mission ( they cant interfere to much or it will affect time ) and implant Amber who is the groups translator and the group doesn't find out shes from the future till later. But the government base is attacked and the group of 5 must escape. blah blah blah they set out from spain and must Advance to germany Each with slight diff motives. They later meet up with other operatives in france that help them. Amber can speak English german and russian but not japanese so the group has a hard time communicating with the one member who isn't as battle hardened as they find out.
so ya im having a hard time putting this into a message and ill prob make a revised version. but i just wanted to know what you guys thought.
this is my first idea of 3
I'll post more on this if you guys like it
rick oremember i'm not a writer.
i would follow china and make them older. guys would have never been able to penetrate a super-secret site in nazi paranoia germany. more on that later.
i haven't come up with much for victor other than the fact if he's soviet and handles a pph-41 well maybe he's also a demo man. maybe not an expert, but the best of the group.
katrine i don't know about. possibly, a silent-kill expert. combat techniques she learned in secret hoping to show her father she was worthy of his affection.
chang i can't respond on because i would change him to itailian the reason is because a japanese of any age approaching a secret site would be stopped immediately. a 25 or 30 yr old itailian is an out-of place ally, just lost. maybe an itailian who's an expert hand to hand MILITARY (NOT KUNGFU) combat.
rick, if you want him to have leadership qualities, coming from a military background should be given the "strategic' foresight to anticipate probable upcoming snags that weren't foreseen by random events and evaluate them. that would come back to age and first-hand knowledge.
as far as amber i like the idea and you could make her slightly younger than the others, but, not enough to make her seem out-of-place. that would give her that little-girl-lost quality. to make her a mandatory part of the team give her a father who is a diplomat and has a secret military background she found out about by accident.
just quick random thoughts. hope i was of help.

GEMS to Present BACCHANALIA BAROQUE at St. Peter's Church, 3/14
Gotham Early Music Scene (GEMS) is set to present Bacchanalia Baroque - English and American Music of the 18th Century on Thursday, March 14, 2013 at 1:15pm at Saint Peter's Lutheran Church, 619 Lexington Avenue (at 54th Street), New York, NY. The free concert will feature Laura Thompson, flauto traverso; Louise Schulman, viola; and Myron Lutzke, violoncello.
Bacchanalia Baroque presents a sonata by Flemish expat Joseph Gehot, who arrived in New York in 1792 with his Six Trios in hand. The program also includes two songs for solo flute by American flute-maker and printer Edward Riley and a flute sonata by their English contemporary, the blind organist John Stanley.

text: Hello, I have a 1.9tdi b6 130 sport. The heater has always been iffy (I had an se same engine before the sport and the heater was awesome) the problem is its intermittent. When I start driving from cold (display set at 22c) I get a puff of heat within 3-4 miles then the temp drops. It stays lukewarm between 20c and 28c with no noticeable difference at different temps. If I put it on HI it's very warm. I had the thermostat replaced along with the temp sensor last mth. I also had the heater motors resynched. This morning it was set at 22c and stayed quite warm for the total journey (about 8 miles) this afternoon it blew warm then dropped to cool. The temp display doesn't change and it sits at 90 no problem. this is driving me nuts, anyone got any ideas?? I read previous posts and a faulty heater control unit was the cause, is this common?? as it blows hot on high it would suggest maybe the heater flaps are lazy and start to slip to cool sometimes. Is the default defective heater setting cool?? Any help would be sincerely appreciated.

Hello everyone,
I am a new registered user on this forum but I am a long reader of it.
Would you please be so kind and help me with any comments to my dilemmas?
I have a D200 and 17-55 f/2.8 lens and sometimes I photograph some wedding events of friends (no money earned).
I am thinking to try to enter in this market (wedding photography) but first I would like to know how much money do I have to spend on equipment and what is the good one.
My thoughts are:
Buy a new/used FX body, D700 - or just wait until D800 will be released?
As per what I've seen in the NR blog, D800 will have same ISO performance as D700.
I am very interesting to have High performance ISO (6400) to be able to photograph in dim light at churches, reception and night.
No need to have video capabilities on digital photo camera.
Buy the followings:
16-35 f/4 VRII or 24mm f/1.4 ??
50mm f/1.4 G
135mm f/2 DC
70-200 f/2.8 VRII - I am not sure that this is quite useful...I would prefer to have something which more focal length...about 300mm.
There would not be a problem with the budget since the equipment will offer me the best quality.
Many thanks for your any feedback on this.

Sandy is Coming!
Here we are on edge of Hurricane Sandy hitting land in most likely New York and or New Jersey. The weather forecasters are saying we're going to get gusts of up to 65 miles an hour and tons of rain here in Maine. Crazy breezy, not sure if I've felt wind that strong before? Hope you're prepared or as much as you can be.
Hurricane Bob, I guess that was the most significant summer-autumn weather event in memory? We were in Rhode Island having our annual family reunion right on Narragansett Bay in Wickford Village in North Kingstown. We knew Bob was coming but thought we'll stay until we have to go, how bad can it be. We left to go back north a day before excepted land fall, and if memory serve I believe Bob had a second landfall in Maine or New Brunswick, Canada. We luckily beat all of Bob's fury heading home and arrived home safely.. My Uncle who owned the house on the bay rolled video. It showed the huge waves splashing on the second floor windows and seaweed sticking, just incredible. Wish I could share that video here.
You may say, "pfft, whatever" but think, here in northern New England our infrastructure, trees and whatnot aren't used to this stress from hurricanes, there's part of the danger. Have the batteries, non-perishable foods, water, etc. Be safe and if the power goes out enjoy the Chef Boyardee by candlelight and maybe a game of Monopoly. A good game of Monopoly should buy enough time until your power gets restored. If you have power or have a smartphone, you can follow Sandy here.

2012 GOP convention in Tampa?
TAMPA — Twice Tampa has been rejected by the GOP in its search for a city to host the Republican National Convention. But the party still wants to know if local leaders want to bid for the event in 2012.
National party chairman Michael Steele sent a letter to Mayor Pam Iorio at the end of August inviting Tampa to make a pitch.
"Hosting a national convention is a major undertaking that requires a substantial amount of planning and a significant financial commitment," Steele wrote. "We hope you will be able to submit an official bid and place your city under consideration."

We welcome proposals within GLTRG's broad remit of tourism, mobility and leisure and also those that directly engage with the conference theme. A number of past sessions at the conference are in the process of being reworked into edited books as part of the Current Developments in the Geographies of Leisure and Tourism book series with Ashgate.
Session proposals (max 400 words) that are seeking GLTRG sponsorship should be submitted for consideration by 20th November 2011 to Jan Mosedale (jan.mosedale@...).

A franchise that has revolutionized the term 'video game peripheral' has officially been laid to rest. Activision has announced that "continued declines in the music genre" have lead to the cancellation of this year's previously planned Guitar Hero and DJ Hero games and future DLC linked to both franchises.
Some may think that just because the Guitar Hero and DJ Hero series are taking a year off doesn't mean Activision's whole music franchise has been completely discarded, but you're probably wrong. Activision has "disbanded Activision Publishing's Guitar Hero business unit," shutdown 7 Studios, and as previously rumored, has hit Vicarious Visions and Freestyle Games with severe layoffs. This effectively bring an end to both franchises which have certainly helped shape the way the gaming industry is today.
The closure of 7 Studios became apparent after a recent tweet was posted on Twitter from the (now former) employee Alex Beckers. He simply stated that, "Activision is shutting down the Guitar Hero business as of today. This includes my studio. Anyone know of any open associate producer jobs?" Alex was one of many employees laid off however, as all of 7 Studios — originally scooped up by Activision in 2009 — has now officially been closed.
Activision issued the following statement regarding the fate of both Hero franchises during a Q&A posted on DJ Hero's official website:
"Over the past two years, we have seen rapid declines in the music genre, and unfortunately, based on current demand, we simply cannot continue to profitably make these games given the considerable licensing and manufacturing costs."
This statement is pretty straight to the point and leaves little doubt that Activision is done with both series, but some are probably wondering what will happen to the downloadable content that was coming to both DJ Hero and Guitar Hero. A recent Q&A posted on DJ Hero's official website revealed some unsettling news that fans of both franchises are sure to be upset with. When asked if Activision was still going to continue to provide new DLC for both titles the response was a disheartening 'no.'
"We will release the previously announced DLC track and mix packs for February, but – unfortunately – we will not be able to release new DLC packs beyond what we already have."
That's a bit of a bummer for those who invested money on those games (and peripherals) during the holidays, but it's to be expected when dismantling a brand. Existing DLC will still be readily available for now though. Activision was asked if the brand would return and they offered an enthusiastic "never say never" reply, but it's not looking good for the music genre as a whole for the near future. Speaking of the music genre as a whole, Harmonix also issued an official statement pertaining to the recent demise of their biggest competition.
"We were sad to hear yesterday that Activision was discontinuing development on Guitar Hero. Our thoughts are with those who are losing their jobs, and we wish them the best of luck.
The discontinuation of Guitar Hero is discouraging news for fans of the band game genre. As retail sales of Guitar Hero and Rock Band titles have slowed with time, we've been focused on building a robust digital platform for music gaming and have recently crested 2,500 songs available for play within Rock Band 3.
It's been a wild battle of the bands since 2007, but we respect and appreciate all of the hard work and innovation of our peers who have shared the music gaming space with us, and we look forward to rocking in the future."
A very classy farewell from a fierce rival is always nice to see, and while that could be a sign of things to come to Rock Band and the others at Harmonix, they seem very optimistic about the economical demand for their titles. It seems Rock Band will be running the show from here on out in the music genre and with any luck they'll be able to turn things around. If they do well enough to inject some serious life into the fading genre and create some decent profitability then maybe we'll see the return of Axel Steel and his bandmates — unfortunately, at the moment that's a big "if."
Game Rant wishes those who have lost their jobs our most sincere apologies, and we wish them all a speedy reemployment.
Are you surprised Activision has cancelled the franchise? Do you think the music genre can bounce back?

This is a quick guide to configuring Cocoon so that you can send email from within an XSP. It draws on the content found at Cocoon Center, updating it for Cocoon 2.0.4.
(The CocoonCenter link is broken, as is the whole www.cocooncenter.de site -- a new link is needed)[pf]
You need a copy of JavaMail (mail.jar) and Java Activation Framework (activation.jar). Place them in the WEB-INF/lib/ directory of your Cocoon installation (or into lib/local/ of the source distribution).
Although the sendmail logicsheet now ships with Cocoon, it is not available by default. To solve this, you need to edit your cocoon.xconf. Find the section for <target-language name="java">, and within it, add:
<builtin-logicsheet> <parameter name="prefix" value="sendmail"/> <parameter name="uri" value="http://apache.org/cocoon/sendmail/1.0"/> <parameter name="href" value="resource://org/apache/cocoon/components/language/markup/xsp/java/sendmail.xsl"/> </builtin-logicsheet>
Then, create an XSP file similar to the one in the Cocoon Centre article. Email should now work.
See also Cocoon documentation on Sendmail Action and Logicsheet. The cocoon sample block Mail doesn't work in 2.1.2 with Tomcat 4.1.27 on my installation, but is easy to fix using the documentation samples. --Mfonsen
Encoding mail --[[Mfonsen]]
Encoding your email may be tricky, here's a quick-and-dirty solution I've used with Tomcat 4.1.27 and Cocoon 2.1.2. Replace ISO-8859-1 with your favourite encoding.
If you are using Sendmail action, your sitemap could look something like the example below. This just sends email, doesn't show anything and uses input modules to get request parameters. Set-encoding action is used to specify encoding of the request parameters, that are in this case in UTF-8.
<map:act type="set-encoding"> <map:parameter name="form-encoding" value="UTF-8"/> </map:act> <map:act type="sendmail"> <map:parameter name="smtphost" value="smtp.yourisp.com"/> <map:parameter name="from" value="{request-param:from}"/> <map:parameter name="to" value="{request-param:to}"/> <map:parameter name="subject" value="{request-param:subject}"/> <map:parameter name="body" value="{request-param:body}"/> <map:parameter name="charset" value="iso-8859-1"/> </map:act>
After this you need to add -Dmail.mime.charset=ISO-8859-1 to your JVM options. This is needed because the charset parameter seems to be used only when encoding the body of the message. This property is specified on the JavaMail API Frontpage. You can for example use environment variable JAVA_OPTS that Tomcat Startup uses to execute JVM. set JAVA_OPTS=-Dmail.mime.charset=ISO-8859-1
Everything else should now work fine, except that the subject is encoded in Cp1252 instead of specifed encoding. This is caused by the JavaMail library version packaged to Tomcat 4.1.27. In version 1.3.1 of the JavaMail, this bug (bugparade 4780255) has been fixed. The only solution I've found to replace this old implementation is to replace the actual JAR itself in common/lib directory with the new one.
Now encoding should work fine.

The Dennis Kucinich campaign is doing a fund drive this Saturday. You can sign up here or contribute directly by clicking on "Contribute: Online" at the top.
Reddit-poll after reddit-poll has shown that am most closely aligned with Kucinich than any other candidate for president of the US. Read the summary of his positions:
- No funding of the illegal War on Iraq.. He has consistently voted to stop the funding on the War on Iraq without weasling his way out like some other people. He also wants to stop the use of depleted uranium, he is for the nuclear non-proliferation treaty.
- Single-payer, not-for-profit health care system. For some backgrond information, see Sicko. I also blogged about that when the movie came out.
- Comprehensive social programs. I rather have my taxes go into these programs than killing people.
- Restoring Constitutional Government and he is also against torture.
- Fairness in Global Trade. As a fan of Joseph Stiglitz' Globalization and its Discontents am a fan of reform on this area.
