It's been a fantastic month. Mom's circle around the country, a week at my old site to recover, and the finishing touch being the Peace Corps' 'Continuation of Service' conference. I planned to do maybe a short trip afterwards before heading back home to Roi Et, forfeiting the rest of my vacation days which must be used before December 20th. Now my previously hibernating travel bug is gnawing at my insides and I've decided to keep this party going.
I'm taking a little solo trip around this country I've grown to love so much. Seeing the places off the beaten down travel trail while my Thai is this good and I'm this confident about my ability to handle Thailand. I don't have much planned or prepared and I kind of like that. Unfortunately that means blogging for the month will be sporadic at best, more likely to be fairly limited. Sorry Charlies. But it just means all the more to report back when I do finally return to site and slow down my pace until March. It's coming up so, so fast.

Do you remember the kids book, Where's Waldo? It was a fun picture book for youngsters searching for Waldo who was cleverly hidden in the crowd.
Well, where is Christopher Cox, head of the Securities & Exchange Commission. Where is the SEC? Like it or not, we know what Treasury secretary Henry Paulson is doing and Fed chairman Ben Bernanke (and I'm a fan of their actions so far). But the SEC? It's asleep, although it has imposed some limitations on short selling. Wow.

Lincoln, Neb.-- Your time is running out if you want to recycle your Christmas tree.
The City of Lincoln's annual tree recycling program will end Sunday, January 12.
The trees will then be ground into wood chips, and the wood chip mulch will be available at no charge to Lincoln residents beginning Thursday, January 16 at Hofeling Enterprises, 2200 South Folsom Court, during normal business hours.
The mulch will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Some people in Lincoln are already scooping up some of those free wood chips.
"My wife uses this stuff for mulch around her flowers in the Spring makes them smell good and keeps the moisture in. I have this job to come out and getting it every year," said Steve Hartung.
Trees can be dropped off at the following sites:
Ballard Park, 3901 N. 66th St.
Oak Lake Park, 1st Street three blocks south of Cornhusker Highway
University Place Park, 50th and Garland Streets
Holmes Lake Park, parking lot west of the north softball field
Hofeling Enterprises, 2200 South Folsom Court
Tierra Park, 29th and Tierra Drive
Woods Park, 31st and "J" streets, southeast corner of the parking lot
For more information on the City's recycling program, visit recycle.lincoln.ne.gov or call the Recycling Hotline at 402-441-8215

This makes me almost get a flash itch
BB, if you're happy on ICS, STAY THERE.
I have to warn you: bugs and all, once you experience the raw power and exhilaration of Jelly Bean, you will not go back. It's just that awesome.
I'm happy but all the talk of JB makes me feel a bit left out. My main things that MUST work are SMS/MMS, tether, tibu, light flow. And if I can get email inverted it'd be a huge bonus. Maybe I'll download the files today and contemplate flashing during my 4 hour layover tomorrow.
With all four lines, even contemplating the heaviest data use months for each line, 8 GB would be more than enough for us, so losing unlimited wouldn't be THAT huge of a deal (although it does chap my a$$ that VZW has done away with it.) And, if I'm honest with myself...I like new phones, and since our upgrades are spaced apart nicely, I am able to get the newest phone about every 6-8 months or so.
My husband's line is the one with the upgrade - he currently has unlimited data, which he would lose with the upgrade. My daughter only has the 2 GB plan now. So you're saying I would only lose unlimited on my husband's line? How would I have the share everything on 2 lines, and still have unlimited on 2? That would be great...I was just under the impression that if you upgrade any phone in your family plan, your entire plan would switch to the Share Everything plan.
And this phone isn't even that old. It's my old one, but it had been replaced once (under warranty) less than a year ago. It doesn't want to charge, and everytime she plugs it in, she ends up having to do a battery pull to make it charge.
Nope, Verizon is not forcing any existing customers onto the new plans. If you use your husband's line upgrade, his line will revert to the 2GB tiered plan. But you will still maintain unlimited on the two lines that weren't upgraded. Share everything is an all or nothing proposition, but you can choose the nothing aspect, and continue with your existing plan, minus unlimited on any lines using an upgrade
Thank you Pup! Your D2 was in better shape than mine when I gave it to my daughter and is in much much better shape than it is now. (I already bought her a Seidio case that will hopefully protect it better.) She is thrilled and asked me to enthusiastically thank you for her.
Great, tell her she is more than welcome.
When tether/hotspot is being used is it interrupted when you receive a call or text? I'm assuming yes, but looking for a definite answer.
Not interrupted, but it slows WAAAAY down when on a call. Sometimes the internet will give up and give you an error, sometimes not.
Haven't seen any hiccups with just texting.
Jelly Bean has a Safe Mode.
How to: Enter Safe Mode in Jelly Bean – Droid Life
Since the phone cannot do simultaneous data / voice on 3G then yes it will cut out, but if you have 4G then it works perfectly fine since they are going over two different networks.
I screwed up loading the picture on my earlier post. Her settings, SD card and battery are now in their shiny new home. Thanks again Pup!
Starting the day off by flashing ICS to my moms Galaxy note. Took about 5 min for Kies to download this morning. Then the drivers, which, I already had installed for the nexus. Can't wait to see the note with ICS.
This is odd. Never used kies before and its very strange to flash something with out using CWM or an OTA :afraid:
Guess I have to remove it from my Device list now.
You can update yours with a retired one and a crash test dummy.:rofl:
Any of this dialog in this thread sound familiar to anyone?? lol

Found it! Took a few minutes, but then it pops right out at you.
Wow. Slow night. Or is it the end of the world and I'm the only one left?
Probably everyone is busy playing with Jelly Bean flashed on their phones?
I appreciate WugFresh for making the whole process of unlocking and rooting so easy. It was so easy that I rooted my Nexus and flashed Bugless Beast 4.1.1 in an hour before going to work.
Sure wish google would send me that shipping email for my GNex :-(

Morning all! Feeling a little better about the work situation this morning, the folks who were frustrating me changed their tune a little, so I feel like we are actually working towards a resolution now
So interesting take on the Developer edition SGS3 from Droid-Life, which I didn't think about. (link here: http://www.droid-life.com/2012/07/11/a-few-thoughts-on-a-galaxy-s3-developer-edition-for-verizon-opinion/)
If the developers for the GS3 on Verizon go for this, unless they can figure out how to unlock the encrypted one, the locked bootloader phones will not get nearly the support that they would have gotten if the developer edition didn't exist. In fact, I think releasing a developer edition will end up causing more problems, because you can know there will be plenty of ignorant people who don't read the instructions and try to flash developer edition ROMs and other stuff onto their locked phone.
Although I see a possible silver lining. If someone wanted to take the encrypted bootloader to the FCC and propose its a violation of Block C, I can REALLY start to see that argument being successful. 1. No other carrier has done it. 2. Verizon has a seperate version which is un-encrypted. 3. Verizon has launched other phones recently (GNex) with un-encrypted bootloaders which were subject to the normal sales procedure (ie offered under subsidized pricing from VZW stores.
Verizon's argument to the necessity of the encrypted bootloader gets shot down with those three points IMO. I hope someone with more knowledge of the relevant regulations goes for it...

Hand & Bath Towel
The Human Raceby Fernando Vieira
Buy a Set of 2 Hand & Bath Towels and Save!
Make your reflection jealous with this artist-designed Bath Towel. The soft polyester-microfiber front and cotton terry back are perfect for, well, drying your front and back. This design is also available as a hand and beach towel. Machine washable.
Modern humans (Homo sapiens, primarily ssp. Homo sapiens sapiens) are the only extant members of Hominina clade (or human clade), a branch of the taxonomical tribe Hominini belonging to the family of great apes. They are characterized by erect posture and bipedal locomotion; manual dexterity and increased tool use, compared to other animals; and a general trend toward larger, more complex brains and societies.
Early hominins—particularly the australopithecines, whose brains and anatomy are in many ways more similar to ancestral non-human apes—are less often referred to as "human" than hominins of the genus Homo. Several of these hominins used fire, occupied much of Eurasia, and gave rise to anatomically modern Homo sapiens in Africa about 200,000 years ago. They began to exhibit evidence of behavioral modernity around 50,000 years ago. In several waves of migration, anatomically modern humans ventured out of Africa and populated most of the world.

Immediate yet short lasting resultsI like this product and use it on a regular basis. It is great for a quick skin pick-me-up and brightener, and you don't need any down time. It is also easy to find (I usually buy it at Whole Foods), isn't crazy expensive, and is all natural with no parabens, etc... The drawbacks are that the it isn't very strong, and though results are immediate, they are not long-lasting or dramatic. — 9 years, 5 months agocrazyforproduct | 6 reviews

Used to WorkI bought this in the spring and loved it. It left my skin really soft. But I tried to use it a few weeks ago and it burned so badly that I had to rinse it off after about 30 seconds. I don't know if the ingredients expired because it's an organic product or if the winter dryness just made my skin more sensitive but since I can still use all my other products, I'm thinking that it did expire. Kinda disappointed that something I paid good money for went bad so quickly. — 9 years, 8 months agoBeauty_full | 12 reviews

I'm seeing redThis left my face red, like, a red mask. It didn't hurt, but I can't imagine what it did to make it red like that. Maybe this means that the product worked, but then again, I didn't really see any results that were worth mentioning. I applaud this brand for their vision and for being organic and all that, but it's still a little overpriced at times. — 9 years, 8 months agowkoenigsmann | 36 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This

Discussion in 'Android Devices' started by xmr405o, Oct 18, 2012.
Ha ha. You guys are awesome staying up like that. Tried this AM both OTA and PC. No luck yet.
i work over night
Nothing as of 8:50 am EST
Will being rooted cause issues getting the upgrade?
On my other devices I haven't had issues with rooting not letting you upgrade . only time I had an issue was when I had flashed a different Rom or deleted system applications but as far as root on a lucid doubt know if it will mess it up or not
I returned to stock just in case because when I was rooted I kept getting fc's when I tried checking the update
after un rooting do you still get the force closes?? i have my lucid rooted and i havent got any force closes when checking for update. if i need to i will unroot cause the upgrade will break root anyway if it does take it
well you said returned to stock did you have a custom rom on your phone??
Yeah I've had lots of other Android devices that never caused issues with root... But never an LG...
i had an lg thrill but never got an update before i got rid of it
I'm still getting nothing. Almost noon EST. Neither the phone's check for updates nor the PC software are finding any update. I *am* rooted, dunno if that matters though.
I don't think it would with at least showing an update available but they said today but that could be anytime today when they put out the date for my soon its upgrade awhile ago the update actually took a week to get to everyone but it start rolling out on the day they said it would I had to end up manually installing it from a image of it wa put online
Just received a e-mail notification of a post on the LG support site. Person says that the ICS update will actually consist of two separate updates - FWIW.
BOOM! Just forced an OTA and I have my first Software Update!
Let's hope rooting doesn't blow it up.
Grrr. Looks like the root or CWM might be killing the update. Ran the first update and rebooted, but phone just shut off. Powered back on and got the android screen with the bar going across the bottom, but the update failed. Rebooting now to see what's up.
Yep. Software update failed. I'll need to unroot methinks.
UPDATE: Download with LG software is working now. I'll try that before unrooting. Will lose some data, but I've done that enough before.
Just got mine its going.to install now
I got it ota
I just refreshed and got a 5.7mb download?? Anyone else get this
I'm trying Gingerbreak to unroot, since the download was going slow.
Edit: Gingerbreak didn't work, but luckily I still have the unroot tool (Based off the spectrum) to use. Trying that now.
yeah i got an error on the ota im doing it with the computer now downloaded the software and i have 7 minutes left so hopefully that works
Downloading a 384mb file now crossing my fingers for ICS
Mine failed (5mb) so I defrosted all the shit I froze and it still froze... Think maybe a factory reset?
mines working i got it with the vzw upgrade tool
**i was rooted**
Upgrade tool?
I just tried the 5.7, seems like maybe not the right thing to do? We'll see, installing now.
Also, if you update with the update tool on the computer, doesn't it erase everything, as well as make it so you can't hard reset back to gingerbread, in case this update has terrible problems or something?

Useless rant. For new users.
I wonder, if you took all the time people have used writing how-to's, tips, forums, and chatting on IRC for installing GNU debian and added it up how long would that be? I'm not trying to smear the good name of Debian, but it's obvious that people are trying to get their feet wet and see this wonderful thing called Linux that they hear co-workers, friends, and read reviews about saying it's the future or something of computing. Now this may or may not be true, but these potential users are getting a sour taste in their mouths on the whole linux subject. I say that people should just point users to distros like XandrOS, Libranet.com or even LindowsOS (just make it so they're not in root). Yeah they'll have to pay money, but atleast they won't spend days, weeks, or even months toying with X config files, reformatting, or even or using a seperate computer trying to figure out why their network card doesn't work. Yeah some of those people might have similiar problems but atleast instead of having no X server AND no network, they'll have one or the other and but more configured than doing it ALL by themsleves. This rant may be useless but just think about the opening sentance, The answer would be a WHOLE LOT. I do believe that all 3 alternative distros donate some sort of funds to the Debian project, if not then I'm just misinformed.:newbie:
Thats because most of those people have a problem perceiving the reality as-is.They all know more or less what they are doing and just figure: 'Hey whats the big deal?' I got the same problem with Linux but can relate better to people new to it (me thinks) since I feel like I got just thrown ito a shark tank without a magic map out when I boot into M$.
Or you could just buy windows.
Forget windows. If you want Debian to work. Get a Knoppix 3.1 or 3.2 disk, don't even bother to do an hard disk install, run Linux from the CD and in 3.2 you can run from the CD and set up a /Home on the hard-disk. Child's play. Productive system. No windows.
A good intro to linux is to just install Knoppix onto your harddrive, it'll give you good speed, a system already setup for you, and if you don't like it just get rid of the partition, oh and it's debian(friendly enough that it's usable while still not being fake like Lindows ect...). I never understood the reasoning behind how it's safer and better to use an OS that's entirely in memory and not just install it for the full feel, managing/deleting/creating partitions is very easy and anyone fiddling with linux should know enough about computers to at least be comfortable with that.
I read that alot of people using morphix have USB mouse problems. I haven't fully tried knoppix though. When I did try it I had upgraded my video card to a geforce fx 5200, no distribution supports this card as of yet.:(
I don't agree. For a complete newbie to Linux Knoppix ran from the CD, is a great idea to get the feel of Linux, when one is comfortable with it, and that does not take long, then you can start to get adventurous and install to hard disk,
robojerk, the truth is that if everyone had to install Windows themselves after they bought their PCs, they would be unhappy with that too.
Don't believe me? Check any Windows forum or group for people having problems with install, upgrades and the folks that "just don't like the new version".
What you are talking about is a software deal, not a distro or OS deal.
Trying to run Windoze from a "live" CD is a joke, and installing windows can be just as much a pain. If it doesn't auto detect, you still have to get the drivers. And what about the "Unknown" devices. The only thing, IMO, that Windoze does have going for it is it's mainstream acceptance, which has prompted hardware and software venders to write specificaly for it. There are alot more jumping on the Linux bandwagon.
Just thing of the age difference. How lond had M$ taken to get Windoze to install nice? How much overhead in both running memory and HDD space does just the newest operating system take? 2 GIG or something close, and thats without alot of software. Knoppix, for example, autodetects, allows HDD install, and has way more then just the "base" software. I think its 2 GIG installed, and thats with tons of software.
I agree in the fact that it is not the fastest way to run Linux, but it has been the best way for me to show people or let them try it themselves. I can't think of a better way to demonstrate something then letting someone run a full operating system that doesn't touch there hard drive or change there system at all.
Exactly. It is the safest way to demonstrate without screwing up whatever exists on the hard-disk. It is also an excellent recovery cd. Soon it will be a DVD!
It is also the way that I introduced myself to Linux for the simple reason that it recognised virtually everything on both my systems.
yo robojerk. uve got the wrong attidtude. i don't want it to b easy, it's no fun if it's easy. ur asking for windows with a linux title so u can show all your friends. i dunno..... i find it fun, and when i finally do get something up, like X, or for mplayer to finally play fullscreen, or firebird to play quicktime and avis within the browser, or my ethernet to finally pick up an ip on its own using dhcp, or finally compile my kernel correctly just in time to go and compile the newest one...... it's a good feeling. realize this is not windows and prolly the majority of use don't want it to b. it takes time and patience.
Re: knoppix
what an excellent name
GNU/Linux's ease-of-use has been slowly getting better as the years have gone by. I've only been using it for a couple of years, but I think I can discern that pattern.
Look at how much nicer ncftp is than ftp.
exuberant-ctags is nicer than the original ctags.
With Debian, look how much better life is with dpkg-reconfigure.
You just notice the troublesome aspects of GNU/Linux more lately because its popularity is reaching the point where lots of non-experts are getting involved.
Personally, I think one of the last frontiers is good (that is: consise, complete, and correct) documentation. For example, when boot-floppies (or is that base-config?) asks you if you're using an LCD display or not, it should tell you why it's asking and what it will do according to your answer. :)
Another example (off the top of my head, since I dealt with it recently) is pbbuttonsd. The fellow went though all the trouble (lots of work) to create it for the community, yet /etc/pbbuttonsd.conf has *very* few explanatory comments in it. This general pattern seems to be rampant in free software.

It's all thanks to a meteorite that cyclists can enjoy richly varied tours between the Nördlinger Ries and Steinheimer Becken craters and through the Swabian Alb.
Some 14.5 million years ago, a meteorite smashed into the eastern Swabian Alb, creating two craters with diameters of 25 and four kilometres. In 2006 the area became the Ries National Geopark. On the eastern route from Nördlingen, you are taken across the basin and up onto the rim of the crater near Kirchheim. Along the western loop, you ride through an enchanting landscape of juniper scrub and solitary oaks. Near Oberkochen you encounter the source of the Schwarzer Kocher river. At the meteorite crater museum in Steinheim you can learn all about the impact, before stopping to visit a castle or take a swim in a lake on your journey back to Nördlingen.
Terrain: the route has an eastern and a western loop, is mainly on asphalt and is mostly traffic-free. Flat stretches alternate with hilly sections and steep climbs.
Scenery: the route links two meteorite craters in Ries Geopark, alternating between flat and hilly landscapes. Heathland, conservation areas and riverscapes.

CE 6.0 ships with a number of new/updated features - this includes tools integration into Visual Studio 2005 (which provides updates to MFC, ATL, STL, WTL, compilers, C++ language conformance etc...) - kernel changes to support more than 32 processes and more than 32MB Virtual Memory per process.
Beyond the tools and kernel changes there are also some new and interesting technologies to work with, these include the new Windows Network Projector (more on this later), CellCore, and others.
CellCore is an interesting addition to CE 6.0, providing support for SMS messaging and internet connectivity for embedded devices over the cellular network - CE 6.0 ships with a sample RIL driver for Enfora devices, for the recent CE 6.0 Electronic Picture Frame launch demo I used an Enfora GSM/GPRS GSM1218 device connected to an ICOP eBox 2300 over a serial connection.
There are two steps needed to add CellCore/RIL driver support to your embedded operating system design - the first is to search the CE 6.0 catalog for "CellCore" (see image below).
You hae the option of adding just the features you need (such as SMS support) or all features (All Modules) - this adds the components at the API level but doesn't add the Enfora sample RIL driver - this is added through a custom environment variable "IMGENFORA=1" set through the OSDesign Properties dialog.
Here's an extract from C:\WINCE600\PLATFORM\DEVICEEMULATOR\FILES\platform.bib
rilgsm.dll $(_FLATRELEASEDIR)\rilenfora.dll NK SHK
Setting the IMGENFORA environment variable will only work for the CEPC and Device Emulator platforms - the Enfora drivers are located in the CEPC and Device Emulator Platform folders - if you want to get the Enfora RIL driver working with another platform then you need to copy the Enfora driver source over to your platform folder - for example, copying the CEPC Enfora driver from \wince600\platform\CEPC\SRC\DRIVERS\RILPDD over to my ICOP eBox 2300 platform folder \Wince600\Platform\ICOP_2300\SRC\DRIVERS\RILPDD gets the files in the right place, you also have to modify some additional files to get this to work.
First, modify the DIRS file for your DRIVERS folder so that the rilpdd folder gets built - like so...
rilpdd \
Next step is to copy the IMGENFORA block from the CEPC Platform.BIB and Platform.REG files - these files are located in the C:\WINCE600\PLATFORM\CEPC\FILES folder - you would need to add the IMGENFORA blocks into your platforms BIB and REG files.
At this point you should be able to set the IMGENFORA=1 environment variable for your OSDesign/Platform and build your operating system design, which can then take advantage of the Enfora RIL/GSM/GPRS device.
Note that the Enfora device "assumes" that it's connected to COM2 of your embedded device, which interestingly can be mapped for the Device Emulator to use a physical COM port of your desktop PC.
CellCore support has been added to CE 6.0 for machine-to-machine communication either using SMS messages or connecting over the cellular network to the internet and calling XML Web Services or other technologies to communicate back to the enterprise (or to other cellular connected devices) - You could imagine vending machines that report back to a warehouse when they need to be refilled - combine this with "Smart" GPS navigation and you can see that cost savings could be made by reducing the number of miles needed for a delivery van each day by only restocking the vending machines that are running low and being smart about the route taken, reducing miles, fuel etc...

|Philip Weber
|Philip Weber
|Date of Birth
|Dan Butler
|First Appearance
Dr. Philip Weber, referred to by Dr. House as "Dr. von Lieberman" because it is "way eviler", or "Dick", is a doctor specializing in the pharmaceutical treatment of migraine headaches. Weber and House have a long standing rivalry and enmity dating back to the time where they were both students at Johns Hopkins Medical School. Weber thought House was always too ready to take shortcuts and this was confirmed when Weber caught House copying one of his exam answers. Weber turned House in and had him expelled. The incident also cost House a prestigious internship at the Mayo Clinic, which Weber took for himself.
However, House never forgot the incident, particularly because the exam question he copied was wrong. House believed that this showed that Weber's skills with statistics were particularly weak. House got his chance when Weber published a seeming breakthrough in the treatment of chronic migraines in an obscure medical journal published in the Hindi language in India. House manipulated the hospital into inviting Weber to give a lecture at Princeton-Plainsboro on his new drug. At that point, House set out to discredit Weber's treatment. He succeeded only by injecting himself with Weber's drug, then injecting himself with nitroglycerine to induce a severe migraine, showing the drug was useless. After destroying Weber's chance to make a fortune from marketing the drug, House claimed they were even. Ironically, Weber thought Lisa Cuddy had set up the lecture and blamed her, despite her lack of knowledge about the event.

I'm on the "Debug" podcast this week
My thanks to Guy English and Rene Ritchie for inviting me on their podcast. I don't know what they were thinking but they're good people anyway.
Apparently we talked for an hour and a half. At least that's the length of Rene's final edit. I don't remember half of what I said, but I certainly enjoyed droning on and on at those two. I might have mentioned Safari and WebKit maybe once or twice. And used the "F" word—you know, just so you're certain it was me.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but you are fucked.
Of course, thanks to the election of Obama, all of us in America are fucked, but you guys are royally fucked. While we will suffer four years of the flu, Israel will have 4 years of the plague.
Here's my advice.
Do not expect help from Obama. The man can't even stand up to Fox News, let alone someone intent on genocide. Even if he could, he won't for you. Remember, this is the guy who toasted people who want to kill you. If Israel is attacked, the best you can expect is a strongly worded letter to the UN, along with a letter to your ambassador complaining that the ashes that used to be Israel's citizens are contributing to global warming.
It's time to cowboy the fuck up. The IDF needs to be brought back into shape. It has to be a major military force capable of slugging it out with all the Arab militaries in the neighborhood and coming out not just on top, but on top of their piled, oozing corpses. And trading land for peace? That's the metrosexual approach to diplomacy. The only time land can be traded for peace is when that land is a clear killing field. Think more like 1973 and less like 2006.
Get your house in order. The roster of recent Israeli leaders is less than inspiring. Many of them are limp dicks who have just put in their time or made deals with the devil for the office. Take it from someone who's now paying the price of electing adolescents to do the job of adults. You don't want a philosophically incontinent hand-wringer in charge when the shit hits the fan. Sure, it's kind of hypocritical of me to say this when we just elected a half-assed half-wit as President, but we are likely to survive four years of this—you aren't.
Remember that next to nobody in the international community is going to like you no matter what, so fuck'em. Wear the black hat and do what has to be done. Yeah, lots of Europeans complained in 2006 when the IDF turned southern Beirut into a used concrete sales lot, but those people are a living reminder that it wasn't Arabs who made the ovens. If you want to compete in the arena of public opinion, develop a world-class media and delivery system to go along with it. Otherwise, stick to what you do well, which is blowing the shit out of bad guys and then looking at the camera with a "What, me worry?" kind of grin.
Cultivate the enemies of your enemies. Sure, there are lots of folks that want to bake you like a Christmas goose. Fortunately for you, these experienced haters also hold dim opinions of their neighbors. The Sunni/Shiite division is real and the current incarnation of it involves Sunni (non nuke holders) and Shiite (wannabe nuke holders). I'm not suggesting handing over Israel's nuclear secrets to every smiling Arab you meet, but if the Saudi's hint that they'd like the coordinates to Ahmadinejad's hot tub, pass it on.
Expect trouble. There is a slim chance that the next four years may pass like a tranquil breeze thanks to the charm and power of Obama's personality. On the other hand, it's much more likely that the next four years will be as gentle as a meth-fueled, sex-starved orangutan. You can't afford to fuck around. The wolf is not only at your door, he's in your house, has used your ATM Card, and is sprinkling meat tenderizer in your underwear. Yeah, that movement of Syrian tanks on the border with Lebanon may be for the stated peaceful purpose of "stopping smugglers," but let it be known that you're pretty sure smugglers rarely traverse radioactive plains studded with melted slag, too. Sure, the world will think you're paranoid, but you have to be alive to be paranoid.
I hope that in a few years we'll once again have a leadership capable to standing up to evil men instead of blather on about "change" and other buzzwords. Until then, you're on your own. Good luck.
You're going to need it.

Governor Paul LePage signed a bill today that promotes safer driving among motorists and increases fines associated with distracted driving. Governor LePage was joined by Secretary of State Charlie Summers, Legislators and supporters of the measure as he gave his signature to LD 1912, "An Act To Encourage Responsible Teen Driving" Tuesday. Senator Bill Diamond, D-Cumberland, sponsored the bill.
"Today's drivers have a variety of distractions that can take their eyes off the road," said Governor LePage. "I applaud Secretary Summers and Sen. Diamond for taking a proactive role to promote safe driving. All drivers, not only teens, are at risk when distracted driving occurs. We must emphasize the importance of safety and set examples for our teens while they're behind the wheel. I support this bill with the hope it draws attention to safety and saves lives."
Secretary Summers led the effort to pass LD 1912. The bill was approved by the Legislative Council as an after deadline bill in response to the high number of teen fatalities occurring in Maine over the past four months. The bill increases the minimum fine for texting while driving from $100 to $250, increases fines and terms of license suspensions for violating conditions on a juvenile provisional license, and increases the amount of time a repeat offender would lose his or her provisional license.
"I am thankful for the bipartisan support for these essential changes. The willingness to take immediate action on this important issue is a huge accomplishment as we head into the 2012 prom and graduation season, where young drivers traditionally experience 8 of the 10 deadliest days of the year," said Secretary Summers.
The law will take effect 90 days after the 125th Legislature adjourns.

Divine Love Diluted
"Constantine's Sword: The Church and the Jews" by James Carroll (Houghton Mifflin, $28)
James Carroll loves the Roman Catholic Church. Unfortunately, the church he loves isn't the church he has. Carroll yearns for that short, winsome time when he was ennobled by liberation theology, Vatican II and his bold opposition to the war in Vietnam. But the hopes of that moment faded away as first Pope Paul VI and, later, Pope John Paul II extinguished John XXIII's reformist platform.
Two evils lie at the heart of the reactionary church: anti-Semitism and authoritarianism. They are, in Carroll's view, inextricably bound together. Their roots lie in the grand misunderstanding that gave birth to the church in the first place.
After the death of the first-century Galilean preacher Jesus Christ at the hands of the repressive Romans, a coterie of sensitive, subtle Jews gathered to speak about the painful loss of their teacher. Over time, the metaphoric and symbolic language they used to talk about their teacher was misunderstood by the following generations. Words used metaphorically, like "resurrected" and "son of God," were taken literally, particularly as this group fought for legitimacy inside the fraternal debates that pitted them against their major opponents for Jewish communal leadership, the Pharisees.
The message of divine love preached by the Galilean teacher was eventually overcome by the rise of institutional politics. Over time, the church became interwoven with the politics of the Roman Empire, especially after Constantine formally made Christianity the state religion. The early polemical texts condemning Jews came to be read literally, rather than as the heated figurative speech of an internal Jewish communal struggle. Thus were born the conjoined twin evils of church authoritarianism and anti-Semitism.
The early church authorities developed a name and an ideology to justify both their authoritarianism and anti-Semitism: supersessionism, which was taken to mean that the old covenant God had made with the Jews was superseded by the new one made with the church, through the death and resurrection of Jesus.
In its fights for supremacy, the church became a rigid, hierarchical, authoritarian institution insensitive to the true message of unlimited, unqualified, unconditional divine love.
Along the way, Carroll dispenses with quite a few items most associated with the Roman Catholic Church, such as the divinity of Christ, his crucifixion, death and resurrection; the cult of the Virgin Mary, and the adulation of the cross and sacred relics.
Carroll ends with a call for a Vatican III, harking back to his moment of Catholic optimism before he left the priesthood.
Anti-Semitism isn't really the issue that animates Carroll, but his cudgel. He's self-righteously, sorrowfully, soulfully, humbly pained and angry that the church is a conservative, indeed reactionary, institution, which denies priests the right to marry, women the right to abortion and to the priesthood, married couples the right to contraceptives, and oppressed peoples the right to revolt. If only John Paul II were John XXIII.
He would like to argue that all these oppressive church views flow from anti-Semitism and that the church is ultimately responsible for the Shoah, but he cannot. In spite of Carroll's almost insatiable ideological drives, he is still an honest writer.
As 150 prominent rabbis and scholars teach in "Dabru Emet: A Jewish Statement on Christians and Christianity": "Nazism was not a Christian phenomenon."
The second is John Paul II's revolutionary Roman Catholic teachings about Jews and Judaism and his rejection of supersessionism.
With Pope John Paul II's declaration that Jews are the church's "elder brothers," Catholic supersessionist ideology has come to an end. It may take some time for this rigid, hierarchical, authoritarian institution to spread that message across its billion-member flock, but this pope has made clear that that message shall be spread.
One gets the impression that for Carroll, Jews are never quite real. Church anti-Semitism, a real, painful and avoidable evil, becomes in his hands a tool, a club, to call for church reform. But, in the end, he does little to illuminate and describe the tasks that today's Jews and today's Catholics must confront together.
James Carroll will read from and speak about "Constantine's Sword" on Sun., April 29, at 7 p.m. at the Museum of Tolerance. Limited tickets. Call (310) 772-2452 for details.

Smithfield Foods Inc. today reported stronger than expected quarterly profit and said it expects a record year as high hog prices and strong exports offset surging corn costs.
The outlook for corn prices and supplies is "getting brighter" amid a growing push to reduce or eliminate federal ethanol subsidies, Smithfield's chief executive officer, C. Larry Pope, said in a statement today.
Corn prices may decline in coming weeks, Pope said, allowing the company to lock in feed supplies at lower costs. Even if corn rallies next year, Smithfield expects to have its feed needs met and will have hedges in place to protect against price spikes.
"There's always that risk we could have a short crop," Pope said during a conference call today following the release of the Smithfield, Va.-based company's quarterly results. "If we get runaway markets this summer, I think we'll have locked in our corn."
Corn futures rallied above $6 a bushel to two-year highs earlier this fall as the U.S. harvest produced lower-than-expected yields. Higher corn prices are squeezing pork producers' margins, threatening profits that returned earlier this year following at least two years of losses.
As the U.S. herd shrank in recent years, Smithfield benefited from higher prices for the pigs it raises and from stronger demand for the bacon, chops and other cuts sold to supermarkets and restaurants. The largest U.S. pork producer, Smithfield expects to raise about 17 million hogs this year.
During the quarter ended Oct. 31, live hogs averaged $56 per hundred pounds, up 54 percent from the same period a year earlier, Smithfield said.
Hog prices will likely remain high through early 2011 because there is little, if any, herd expansion happening anywhere, Smithfield said. Unlike 2008, when soaring corn prices helped trigger widespread herd liquidation, high prices for hogs and pork will help soften the impact of costlier feed.
"We don't have cheap hog prices and high-priced grain," Pope said. "We could have high-priced grain with high-priced hogs. And I don't see big expansion going around the world that's going to drive pricing back down. If anything, there's probably a little bit of reduction going on."
At today's close, March corn futures in Chicago fell 1 cent to $5.73 ½ a bushel. Corn 1s up 62 percent since the middle of the year.
"I don't like ($5 corn), but it looks like it's stabilized," Pope said. "I believe there is an opportunity to buy corn at lower levels. Even with grain at these $5 levels, we can cover it."
"I don't think we're going back to $4 corn, but it may drop back a bit," Pope added. "We still think there's some opportunity for a downward move."
Smithfield's net income totaled $143.7 million for the three months ended Oct. 31, the company's fiscal 2011 second quarter. That was a record for any of the company's quarters and compared to a net loss of $26.4 million during the same period a year earlier. Sales rose 12 percent to $3 billion, Smithfield said today.
"All indications are that fiscal 2011 will be a record year for the company," Pope said.
During the previous two fiscal years, Smithfield posted a net loss of almost $292 million.

Practical ideas for social, emotional and behavioral challenges
Praise your child's accomplishments, and keep looking for ways to build on her strengths and successes. Show her how to use her interests and abilities to meet new challenges. Encourage her to join clubs so she can meet kids who share her interests.
"Sofia, I know you're anxious about making friends in a new school. You have a great singing voice. What do you think about joining chorus or trying out for a musical theater group? This way, you could meet new people who will value your talent and share your interests."
Tweens and teens with learning and attention issues face many struggles in and out of the classroom. This can often lead to self-doubt and the feeling that failure is inevitable.
There are many ways you can build on your child's strengths and boost her self-esteem. Doing these things can help change the way your child sees herself. It can also improve her relationships with peers. The more confident your child feels, the more likely she'll be to interact with kids and to keep working on her social skills.

By MaryHelen Swanson—
When the North Branch school board meets next Thursday, the members will discuss the demise of the Main Street School property which could hold the promise of a nice windfall in the future, or a solution for current deficit needs.
At at working session last week, local realtors Brian Richards and Tom O'Hern reported that they had looked over the recent appraisal and even though the Main Street property is unique, at this time they figure it is worth in the range of $350,000.
They looked at properties on the market in the city and at those that have recently sold. Property in the local industrial park is selling for $1.35/ sq. ft. they said. The slow economy still has a grip on the value of property in North Branch.
Some months ago, Superintendent Deb Henton apprised the board of a prospective buyer looking to purchase half of the school property on which to build a dollar store.
Richards told the board that what you put on one half of the property determines what will go on the other half.
He advised that it is not prudent to split the property as it will reduce the value and there would be added legal costs in the splitting thus reducing the profit.
Theoretically was a word used much that night.
Board member Randy Westby tossed out an idea he said he and a NB city council person had discussed, that being a trade with the city – the school property for Central Park.
It's just an idea, he stressed, but he felt that the value of the Central Park property would be better for commercial development than the school property.
Supt. Henton noted that the district did offer the school property to the city for $1, when the school building was still on it. And the city did not want it.
She also noted that the dollar store developer is still interested in the property, the whole piece.
She asked the board for direction, do you want to put it on the market, do you want to meet with other realtors, she asked.
Board member Trent Jensen felt the school district should hold on to the property and wait for a stronger market.
In that light, and to keep the property looking good, Henton noted that the new general manager of NB Water and Light has approved the use of water from the hydrant to keep the grass green on the property.
Board member Jay Falk said he's heard business people would like it sold with commercial development on it to increase the tax base, but he was torn and agreed with Jensen about waiting for a stronger market.
Member John White said the district should not put it on the market now. It's an attractive piece of property he said, being very adaptable and already having city utilities to it.
Westby said at $350,000, the district would be better off sitting on the property. He kind of liked the idea of a trade.
Member Kirby Ekstrom thinks it should be on the market at a higher price and if someone wants it at that price, they'll pay it. He suggested getting a realtor lined up.
The board directed the superintendent to make an offer to the dollar store man and if he didn't want it, then get a local realtor and proceed.
Westby stressed that his "trade" idea was just an idea someone brought to him. Henton said she would call City Administrator Bridgitte Konrad.
Also on the agenda May 10, will be adoption of the school calendar for 2012-13, and possibly more discussion on Policy 524 – Internet/Technology Acceptable Use and Safety.
The concern among two school board members is that it is too broad and infringes on individuals' rights.
After lengthy discussion, Supt. Henton became frustrated. She noted that a significant amount of time, and essentially money, has been spent on reviewing and considering changes to this policy. It was the same for the policy on tobacco use.
She apprised the board that the district has 97 policies that have not been reviewed since 1994.

Kwamina Amoasi-Andoh addressing the gathering
Small and Medium-scale Enterprises (SMEs) in the country are unable to break even due to the increasing cost of production and low market demand.
Most SMEs have folded up, with the majority reducing their workforce in order to survive.
In line with this, the International Labour Organization (ILO), under its Sustaining Competitive and Responsible Enterprise (SCORE) Programme, engaged policy-makers and Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of trained enterprises to discuss how to support the manufacturing sector.
The breakfast meeting, held on the theme, 'Developing SMEs for Employment Generation: The role of Government and the Private Sector,' offered the platform to CEOs to discuss their challenges with government to find solutions.
It was also to assist government to identify specific problems facing the enterprises and address them, as well as strengthen the SCORE alumina.
Kwamina Amoasi-Andoh, SCORE National Project Manager, outlining the activities of the programmes, said 45 SMEs had successfully completed the programme and had been certified.
'SMEs with potential for growth that goes through the SCORE Programme come out with tremendous improvement,' he said.
Mr. Andoh however observed that certain challenges such as high taxes, lack of access to loans, coupled with low government support for the SMEs, were gradually thwarting the efforts of the enterprises to expand and create more jobs.
He therefore urged government, which was represented by the Deputy Minister of Finance, Mona Helen Qaurtey at the function, to support the programme by making some of the funds allocated to the sector available to the programme.
Dr. Yaw Adu Gyamfi, Acting Chairman of the Trained Enterprise CEOs, in his address, said manufacturing clusters in pharmaceutical, aluminum and water processing industries have great potential to earn foreign exchange, employ many workers and accelerate economic development in the country.
'It has been estimated that if Ghana can support about five to 10 pharmaceutical industries to expand and produce efficiently to support about 70-80 per cent of our needs in Ghana that can save the country about $1 billion,' he noted.
Dr. Gyamfi noted that 'we believe that the local manufacturers are creating employment with some of us using local raw materials so we should be supported to grow to support the economy.
Ms Mona Helen Quartey assured the enterprises of quick interventions to make their operations easy.
She said the government had allocated GH¢20 million of its budget for the development of SMEs and therefore asked SCORE to apply for support so they could expand to other regions of the country.
Baba Jamal, Deputy Minister for Trade and Industry, also pledged the support of government for the programme, adding that the current challenge must be resolved by all.

Chanel Joues Contraste Powder Blush Reviews
No Regrets!First of all, I never ever regretted buying this, I adore this product! My skin is like a fair/medium, and well I felt like trying it out, and after that no regrets where written. This just blends in so easily with my skin, it's not difficult to apply or remove. And well since my skin is sensitive sometimes some cosmetic products would affect my skin, probably leave a little trace of redness behin...read mored (that BARELY happens, just saying.) or maybe a zit. Since makeup can clog up pores, zits tend to come out. ESPECIALLY when I use face powder or blush. But this never gave me or showed any signs of redness or a trace of zits behind. If I have to say...it's probably one of my face beauty product obsessions right now, especially since it's summer, it gives a nice touch. -Brigitte Fashion girlz — 7 years, 2 months agoFashionGirlz | 1 reviews
Best Lasting BlushI absolutely love this blush. I have used other Chanel blushes but I have to say this will be my favorite ever. The smell is great and it last all day long. The color looks natural and not too much for you face! Definetly buy this blush but buy the Chanel brush to apply, as you know the brushes supplied with all blushes are just for packaging and not good to apply blush!! — 8 years, 1 month agoHeredia1 | 9 reviews

Chanel JC Powder BlushI realize these are beloved blushes to many, but for me they were just OK. They have a strong scent [Rose?] that I find a bit cloying and many have sparkle which to me looks unnatural. Best feature is by far the sexy packaging--otherwise a very mediocre, over-priced blush. — 8 years, 4 months agoSusan1221 | 47 reviews

Great Blush!This blush looks so natural, and isn't heavy at all it is smooth and doesn't shimmer a lot it looks really nice and there's a lot of shades to choose from, but it's best if you ask for assistance to get the best shade for your skin tone.. the compact looks elegant and comes with a little brush that does work and doesn't leave and streaks... the blush lasts all day long and it takes for ever too run out.. which is a good thing.. i love it!! — 9 years, 2 months agoswtnss | 33 reviews

People with ALS need extra care to keep their skin healthy and comfortable.
First, there are the changes wrought by the disease. Skin becomes extremely fragile whenever there are nutrition or breathing problems. ALS also seems to change the biochemical properties of collagen and elastin, which run in thin fibers through the middle layer of skin called the dermis. As ALS progresses, these fibers become irregular in size and shape. Blood vessels in the dermis also display irregularities and protein deposits.
Then, there are the common itchy or painful ailments brought on by weather and immobility. Caregivers can take several steps to ease skin woes for loved ones with ALS.
Dry, itchy skin
Winter air sucks moisture from the skin. To put it back, try these tips:
Put moisture into the air. Use a humidifier or place a bowl of water on the heating vents.
Avoid hot baths or showers. Hot water strips the skin of moisture; use lukewarm instead. A 15-minute lukewarm soak saturates the skin, giving it that "prune" look. If a hot soak is a must, use bath oil. It's not necessary to take a full bath every day; a "parts" cleanup with a sponge usually is sufficient.
Pat dry, don't rub. Skin specialists compare rubbing with a towel to rubbing with sandpaper. Patting the skin leaves more moisture behind.
Use heavy, greasy lotions. Immediately after patting, seal in moisture with the greasiest lotion tolerated.
Shave with lotion. It's much gentler than foam. When washing, use mild or soap-free cleansers. Avoid deodorant soap.
Wash itchy scalps. This complaint comes up regularly among ALS patients. Try using cooler water in shampooing, changing hair products, moisturizing the scalp, using anti-itch or antifungal shampoos, and consulting a dermatologist.
Fungal infections
At the opposite end of the spectrum are skin problems caused by too much moisture.
"It's ironic that you would develop 'jock itch' as a result of being confined to a wheelchair," says Diane Huberty of Fort Wayne, Ind., a retired neuroscience nurse who has ALS.
Being seated all day in a wheelchair or a recliner creates warm, damp pockets in underarms, groin and skin folds that are ideal for fungal growth.
To combat infections:
Dry off completely. After gently washing and drying, dry the area further with a hair dryer on the cool setting.
Wear absorbent clothing. Look for materials that draw moisture away from the surface of the skin.
Use medicated remedies. Avoid cornstarch, talcum or other nonmedicated powders that can encourage fungus when they get damp.
Try herbal remedies. Some tried-and-true remedies include applying apple cider vinegar or vitamin E; eating six cloves of fresh garlic or six to nine garlic capsules a day; eating yogurt with live cultures; and taking more B-complex vitamins.
Pressure sores
Whenever skin is under prolonged pressure, tiny blood vessels are compressed, the supply of oxygen and water is interrupted, and skin starts to die. People who are immobile should have their skin checked thoroughly at least once a day. An area that stays red longer than 15 minutes after pressure is removed is the beginning of a pressure sore. (For dark-colored skin, look for areas that are darker or purplish-blue in color.)
To prevent sores:
Keep pressure off bony areas. Use padding to protect the most common pressure points (see graphic, above). When making a foam pad, don't cut out the center (as is done for bunions or corns), as this can further decrease circulation. In bed, real or synthetic sheepskin pads are effective, as are "egg crate" foam mattress pads.
Avoid giving massages over bony areas, or positioning a person directly on the hipbone.
Beware of recliners. In sitting, the coccyx (tailbone area) takes the brunt of pressure. "As soon as mobility is affected, a pressure relief cushion, like a ROHO or Jay cushion, is a basic necessity," Huberty says. Ordinary foam or air cushions "just won't do the job."
Huberty warns that recliners aren't meant for people with limited movement and can cause bad pressure sores, especially when people sleep in them at night. Outfit the chair with a proper pressure cushion and keep a close eye out for problems.
Ideally, immobile people need to be turned every two hours. At a bare minimum "one or two position changes a night will greatly reduce the risk of pressure sores," Huberty says. A programmable automatic turning mattress can regularly shift an occupant's weight, helping caregivers get some sleep.
Don't drag the skin. "Shearing force" is created when one layer of skin moves but the other doesn't. This happens when a person is dragged or sits up in a hospital bed raised to greater than 30 degrees.
Be as active as possible. Nancy Schuman, neuromuscular nurse practitioner at the MDA/ALS Center at the University of Washington in Seattle, says the center doesn't see many pressure sores among ALS patients. She credits education and a philosophy that "encourages patients to be active and not to be in bed, which is probably the worst thing a person can do."
Skin is best nourished from the inside out, through healthy foods and eight to 10 glasses of water a day.
Because vitamins and minerals work cooperatively to aid skin, start with a daily multivitamin-mineral supplement. From there, follow healthy eating practices: plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole-grain breads and cereals, cooked dried beans and peas, milk, and extra-lean meat or fish.
Skin care experts recommend including one linoleic acid-rich food in the daily diet, such as safflower oil, nuts, avocado or seeds. Other essential fatty acids, which help moisturize skin, are found in soybeans, salmon, tuna, shrimp and corn oils. Repairing skin damaged by pressure sores requires extra protein, zinc, and vitamins A, C and K. Vitamin C also builds collagen, which is adversely affected by ALS.

Relisha Rudd: FBI releases surveillance video of Rudd and Tatum at NE hotel
(WJLA) - Hoping money talks, police released new crime fliers on Tuesday, touting a hefty reward: $25,000 for Khalil Tatum, and another $25,000 for kidnapped eight-year-old, Relisha Rudd.
"I mean, this is the highest of the high alert; clearly everyone here realizes that she, assuming she is with Khalil Tatum, is probably in real danger," said Lt. Bill Alexander, spokesman for the Prince George's County Police.
Tatum lived in this two-story apartment building along N Street in Southeast, and a mail carrier told ABC 7 that the 51-year-old moved in about six months ago:
"You know, he seemed like he had it all together."
Juvia Bush lives directly below Tatum, and while she never saw young Rudd, she often ran into Tatum with his now deceased wife, Andrea.
"They appeared very happy to me, that's why it was a complete shocker to me because they seemed like the kind of couple that was close-knit," she said.
While investigators won't say exactly what evidence links Tatum to his wife's murder, they are confident that he pulled the trigger, and are worried he could act again.
"So we're imploring our community, the people out there, please be on watch," said Lt. Alexander. "If you see Khalil Tatum or anyone you think may be him, particularly with a young girl, any tidbit of information could be that single bit of information we need to get this guy into custody."
On Tuesday evening, the FBI released surveillance video that shows Tatum and Rudd at a Northeast Holiday Inn on February 26, 2014. It is the same day Rudd's mother allowed Tatum to take the girl from the D.C. homeless shelter, where he works as a janitor.{ }
The co-founders of the Black and Missing Foundation say the video can provide important clues – especially about the distinctive clothing the 8-year-old is wearing:
"Most importantly to jog someone's memory, who may have seen something that day on the 26th," said Natalie Wilson.
Already so much critical time has passed, as Relisha had been missing for three weeks before a school counselor notified police.
It is baffling to many area residents, who ask why the mother would allow Tatum to take her daughter:
"Someone you just met and he's the godfather -- that's not how godparents are established," said Carla Smith.
A woman familiar with the agony of a missing loved one is Valencia Harris. Three-and-a-half years ago, her daughter Unique – a young mother of two – disappeared with a trace.
"It never goes away, it's always there, it's always on the forefront of your mind," she described."It gets gloomy at times but I'm always hopeful."
Now, the Black and Missing group is working to get information in front of as many eyes as possible via social media.
"We have to use every platform to find her," said Wilson. "We have a large number of followers throughout the country."
But Derrica Wilson, a former police officer, says that social media is no substitute for an Amber Alert:
"It was just appalling that looking in Maryland, Virginia -- there was no active alert.
In a statement by D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier regarding the controversy surrounding exactly where the alerts were sent, she said:
Several reporters have inquired about the activation of the Amber Alerts in the case of missing 8-year-old Relisha Rudd.
I am very satisfied with the efforts of our regional partners to publicize this case. We appreciate the overwhelming support from the media and government agencies such as transportation agencies, fusion centers, state and local law enforcement agencies including Maryland and Virginia. This has resulted in saturation coverage, numerous alerts being issued by phone and text, highway alerts being activated, and tips received from as far away as Chesterfield, Virginia.
At this time, all known vehicles potentially associated with this case have been recovered. We will continue to share information as appropriate as it is developed. The urgent priority is to locate this girl.

Lee Ann Womack Parts Ways With Record Label
Lee Ann Womack has left her longtime label, Universal Music Group (UMG), after more than 14 years with the record company's MCA imprint. The songstress, who has scored more than 20 Top 40 singles and sold over five million albums in the last 14 years, maintains she is optimistic about her future.
"[I'm] so appreciative to the wonderful MCA staff for giving me their all from my first days at Decca, through 'I Hope You Dance,' the awards for 'I May Hate Myself in the Morning' and There's More Where That Came From," says the angelic-voiced singer (quote via Country Weekly). "I am excited to see what comes next for so many people I think of as my friends, and am eager to see what life after 'leaving home' is like."
The married mother of two, who spent much of 2011 on the road with George Strait and Reba McEntire, has been hard at work on a new album, called The Way That I'm Living, which she says showcases a bit of a different sound than her previous work. "I didn't write anything on it," Lee Ann told The Boot. "It's funny, I was feeling weird about that and my husband (producer Frank Liddell) said, 'If outside songs are good enough for Willie Nelson, they should be good enough for you!' I had to agree with that."
There's no word yet on the status of the status of the new tunes, but it sounds like she is eager to share the music with her fans. "I've been living with this music now for months, and I'm dying to let the fans hear some," Lee Ann shares on her website.

The study's authors analyzed data from more than 5,800 students from kindergarten through fifth grade and found that boys across all racial groups and in all major subject areas received lower grades than their test scores would have predicted.
The scholars attributed this "misalignment" to differences in "noncognitive skills": attentiveness, persistence, eagerness to learn, the ability to sit still and work independently. As most parents know, girls tend to develop these skills earlier and more naturally than boys.
No previous study, to my knowledge, has demonstrated that the well-known gender gap in school grades begins so early and is almost entirely attributable to differences in behavior. The researchers found that teachers rated boys as less proficient even when the boys did just as well as the girls on tests of reading, math and science. (The teachers did not know the test scores in advance.) If the teachers had not accounted for classroom behavior, the boys' grades, like the girls', would have matched their test scores.

Forecasting Hog Prices with a Neural Network
Neural network models were compared to traditional forecasting methods in forecasting the quarterly and monthly farm price of hogs. A quarterly neural network model forecasted poorly in comparison to a quarterly econometric model. A monthly neural network model outperformed a monthly ARIMA model with respect to the mean square error criterion and performed similarly to the ARIMA model with respect to turning point accuracy. The more positive results of the monthly neural network model in comparison to the quarterly neural network model may be due to nonlinearities in the monthly data which are not in the quarterly data.
