Back Track 5 - VirtualBox Driver Error
Hello, I have been looking for a solution to this issue since last night, but nothing seems to be helping me out.
In case you guys need it:
# uname -a
Linux bt 3.2.6 #1 SMP Fri Feb 17 10:34:20 EST 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I had VirtualBox installed but it was not working so I ran a uninstall on it with the purge command and search the root directory / to make sure there are no more "virtualbox" files or programs, and there isn't.
I then began to re-install it, which is what the manufacture site said was the best option to trouble shoot my problem.
I ran the install again, and I am still receiving the errors.
They are as follows:
# virtualbox
WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module
available for the current kernel (3.2.6) or it failed to
load. Please recompile the kernel module and install it by
sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.
So of course, I run the command listed above, and come up with:
# sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
* Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules [ OK ]
* Uninstalling old VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules [ OK ]
* Trying to register the VirtualBox kernel modules using DKMS
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.2.6 (x86_64)
Consult the make.log in the build directory
/var/lib/dkms/vboxhost/4.1.0/build/ for more information.
* Failed, trying without DKMS
* Recompiling VirtualBox kernel modules
* Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong
So I look into the vbox-install.log and basically instead of posting all of the output code (which is a lot) I will just show the error which I need to correct:
Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it:
Failed to install using DKMS, attempting to install without
make KBUILD_VERBOSE=1 SUBDIRS=/tmp/vbox.0 SRCROOT=/tmp/vbox.0 -C /lib/modules/3.2.6/build modules
test -e include/generated/autoconf.h -a -e include/config/auto.conf || ( \
echo; \
echo " ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid."; \
echo " include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.";\
echo " Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it."; \
echo; \
mkdir -p /tmp/vbox.0/.tmp_versions ; rm -f /tmp/vbox.0/.tmp_versions/*
So I ran:
cd /usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.6#
# make oldconfig && make prepare
scripts/kconfig/conf --oldconfig Kconfig
# configuration written to .config
scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig Kconfig
CHK include/linux/version.h
CHK include/generated/utsrelease.h
I go back to run:
# sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
but still come up with the same error.
I just now also found something weird out, my adobe flash player continues to crash, so I went to do an install and no matter what I try and install via "apt-get install program-name" and no matter what program I choose, even if it is already installed, I get the following output code with virtual box in it, for example:
# apt-get install firefox
Reading package lists... Done

Errors were encountered while processing:

To those of you who actually read this entire post, I thank you and that you at least took the time to try and help!
I have now figured out a solution to the issue I had.
If anyone needs the measures I took to trouble shoot the issue, feel free to post below.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks in advance!

Many smokers call it an attack on their ever-dwindling freedoms, but if Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signs Senate Bill 4, public health and the environment will be much better off.
The bill would ban smoking at state beaches and parks throughout California – an unprecedented feat for pushers of a smoke-free environment.
Violators would have to pay a $100 citation if caught. While we typically frown upon measures that reduce people's freedom, it makes little sense for us not to support this one.
We are not saying that the great outdoors should only be enjoyed by non-smokers.
But we do think it can be a nuisance for families having to move from their picnic table or their perfect spot on the beach because they want to spare their lungs from the harmful effects of second-hand smoke.
And it is even more unfair for people who suffer from asthma and severe allergies because they have no choice but to relocate.
The good part of this bill is that there is a proposed solution to hopefully make both sides happy. If certain family members do happen to smoke, the new bill will permit them to do so freely in parking lots at state parks and beaches.
It is unfortunate that the environment outdoors – as large and wide-open as it is – does not eliminate the harmful effects of cigarette smoke, but it is a reality.
A recent Los Angeles Times article raised the issue about there being no clear evidence to prove outdoor secondhand smoke is equally as harmful as indoor secondhand smoke, since statistics are based on indoor measurements.
But if people are inhaling cigarette smoke and happen to be outside, chances are it is harmful. Why take a chance when secondhand smoke causes thousands of cancer deaths in nonsmoking Americans each year?
If preserving public health is not a good enough reason for you to back this bill, perhaps saving the state money on trash-pick up will persuade you.
In 2009 340,221 cigarette butts were picked up on a single beach clean-up day. It is unsanitary for the child running barefoot in the sand and harmful when it reaches the ocean animals.
Leftover cigarette butts can also trigger fires, which Californians already know too well. Banning smoking in state parks and beaches would be a very good thing.

The Cabin
The thunder crackled and rolled as the icy rain poured down, lightning streaked
across the sky, revealing the mountain range engulfed in the storm. Sandra
watched the storm from the cabin window, all bundled up in jeans and sweater,
curled up under an Afghan thrown over her legs. She sipped on her wine watching
the storm, although her mind wasnt on natures display of temper but on the
storm ranging inside her. Her emotion rolled much like the thunder, one moment
anger, sadness the next, then guilt.
She replayed the events of one year ago today, morning was bright and cheery,
promising to be a wonderful day. Her husband Adam came in the kitchen while she
was making breakfast. She kissed him, giving him his coffee, and he handed her
some papers. She took one look at them and her heart broke in to a million
In big letters was Petition for Divorce, and he stated, I no longer love
you, and this is best for the both of us.
He says it so matter-of-factly she cant believe the words are coming out of
his mouth. By that you mean itd be better for you don't you? Youre the one
wanting this, not me! I threw the papers at him. " Why the sudden love loss,
theres someone else, isn't there?"
"Yes, but that doesnt have anything do with the fact I havent loved you for a
long time, Adam watched the papers fall to the floor, ignoring her anger, or
the fact Ive been going through the motions."
"I don't believe you were just going through the motions, Sandra stood there
glaring, clenching her teeth, youre just saying that so you feel better about
cheating on me. So whos the tramp?"
"Believe what you want, and Lisa isnt a tramp." Adam spat at her, "Shes more
of a woman than youll ever be, she has more passion and a higher sex drive
than you ever had."
The color drained from her face, stomach churned, sending bile to her throat
and she had gripped the counter. "Great not only are you leaving me, youve
been fucking my best friend."
Adam turned away, walking to the door, not even bothering to reply. As he
opened the door he said, "Ill have someone pick up the papers tonight," then
went out the door.
She turned to watch him get in car, but he never looked back, not once. She
crumbled to the floor, crying as his car drove out of sight.
That was last time she saw him, their lawyers did everything else. A marriage
built over ten years destroyed in a matter minutes. She had received the final
paperwork this morning.
Without thinking she got in the car, driving for hours, not really caring were
she went just drove as if it was like the car had its own mind. When she
finally stopped she had arrived at her family cabin in the mountain. It was no
surprise her happiest childhood memories had been here. They had spent holidays
and summers here, and her folks left the place to her when they passed away two
years ago.
Since then she didnt come up here very often, but when she did she always felt
their presence here. Perhaps thats why shed been drawn here, to get comfort
from the memories her family and her made here.
She sighed, taking a sip of her wine, then there was a knock at the door,
bringing her out of her daze. Sandra threw off the afghan wondering who was at
the door, being as no one even knew she was here. Heading for the door there
was another knock, heavier, more intense.
"Coming." She stopped in the living room to place the wine glass on the coffee
table in front of the fireplace, which held a softly flickering fire.
Yet another knock, sounding as if the hand was about to come through the door.
"Alright, alright keep your pantyhose on jezz." Near running to the door she
jerked it open only to see a chest.
Craning her neck up she found the owner, and a smile broke across her face.
"Matthew, what a wonderful surprise. What are you doing here, thought you were
in Europe?
She was thinking, god hes as handsome as ever, six-foot, average body, jet-
black hair, but what always got her attention was his blue eyes, reminding her
of sapphires. Theyd been best friends as kids, his parents had at least a
dozen cabins on the other side of the ridge they rented out all year.
They played together whenever her family was here, and as they grew so did
their friendship. They often were teased by their parents theyd end up
marrying each other, but neither of them wanted to ruin the friendship. There
was an unspoken agreement theyd always stay friends.
"What? No invite to come in out of the cold before you start asking questions,"
he teased, shoving his hands in pockets and shivering. He smiled, taking in her
beauty, five-six she had silky long red hair and sparkling dark green eyes.
Soon as she opened the door he wanted her in his arms, kissing her, and he
wouldnt stop there he wanted so much more and as far as he knew she was still
"Oh come in please, I must have forgotten my manners." She opened the door more
so he could come in, relieved the vicious storm had stopped. But the rain had
turned to snow, and there was at least two inches on the ground.
Matthew walked in, taking note of the single glass of wine on the coffee table,
wondering why only one glass. Sandra closed the door, walking past him towards
the kitchen, and she noticed him looking at the glass of wine.
"Would you like something to drink? As you can see I have wine," she walked
towards the kitchen, think might have some beer in the frig, or I can make
some coffee.
"Whatever, I'm easy." He followed her into the kitchen. "So is um-m, is Adam
"No he isn't." Sandra kept her back to him, then hung her head adding "He left
me a year ago, divorce was final today."
He hated she was hurting, taking her arm, turning her around, and holding her
close to his body. She slips her arms around his back laying her head on his
chest. Matthew couldnt help but think how well they fit together. He let out a
bit of a growl, planting a kiss on the top of her head, then using his hands he
tilted her head kissing her forehead.
Eyes closed Sandra felt him gently kiss her eyelids, then his lips were on hers
she sighed and moaned as she slipped her tongue in his mouth. She felt that
familiar tug inside her as Matthews tongue slid into her mouth.
He slipped his hands under her sweater her skin soft and smooth under his
hands. They glided up to her breast, where her nipples were like stones. She
slipped her hand down his pants feeling a good size bulge, before starting to
undo his belt, then pants. Matthew ran his hands to her jeans, pushing them
down, taking the panties with them.
Sandra kicked off her jeans and panties, while pushing his pants down. She ran
her fingers through his hair, kissing him deeply.
She broke the kiss. "Lets go the bedroom."
"Later," Matthew growled. He kissed her, jabbing his tongue deep in her mouth.
She grabbed his hair, wrapping one of her legs around his. He grabbed her other
leg wrapping it around him and with one solid thrust slid into her wet
entrance, filling her completely. She tightly clung to him as they fell against
the wall, while kissing each other hard. Sandra still had a handful of his hair
the other hand under his sweater, her nails digging deep into his skin.
Matthew grabbed her hair, pulling her head to the side taking a bite of her
neck all the while thrusting hard and fast in her. This went on for what seemed
like hours as they moan, groan, bite, and kiss each other, scratching and
pawing til they cum together, hard.
He gently brushed her hair from her face, placing a tender kiss on her lips.
She kissed him back, rubbing his back, her legs slide down off his hips. They
look at each other knowing this was just the beginning.
"I want to see the rest of you " Matthew said sliding out of her.
"Ill show you mine, you show me yours." She chuckled knowing full well it
sounded corny, but didnt care. She took off her sweater and bra, throwing them
to the floor.
"I think we played this game before." He laughed, kicking off his pants and
shrugging out of his sweater.
She swatted him snickering. "Doesn't count we were ten."
"True," he pulled her to him kissing her, "this is much better."
He scooped her up, carrying her to the living room, placing her on the floor in
front of the fire. Picking up the wine glass he dipped his fingers in, grazing
her lips with the wet fingers. He kissed her, tasting the wine, then broke the
kiss, getting a loud groan from her.
Matthew dipped his finger back into the wine, tracing her hard nipples lazily,
then lick and suck each one slowly. Sandra moaned arching her back, running her
hands through his hair pushing him farther down to her aching pussy. Taking the
hint he kisses his way down to her mound, then licks her pussy taking each lip
in his mouth enjoying the taste of both on her.
"I want to taste you to please, she plead.
He rolled on his back, she turned, laying on top of him, grabbing hold of his
beautiful hard dick giving it a squeeze. She ran her tongue over the top of his
head, down him, back up, then sucking him hard. She felt one then two fingers
inside her while he sucked on her clit she moaned deeply sending vibrations
through his dick. She began to move hips back and forth all the while rubbing
his balls. The attention he was giving her pussy was beginning to be too much
so she stopped sucking him, but kept a hand wrapped around his shaft.
"Matthew I need you inside me please."
She turned around as he released her, and kissed him deeply, then he spun her
to where they were spooning. He slipped his hard dick into her, running his
hand over her breasts and kissing her on the neck.
Sandra turned her head to kiss him, placing her hand on his helping play with
her nipples, enjoying both of they're hands. She began to buck against him
slowly enjoying his length and weight.
He groaned deeply, running his hand down to her clit making small circles
slowly then pick up the pace she bucked faster, harder. Her muscles clamped
down on him as she began to cum hard, shaking and quivering she grabbed his
hair and kissed him hard as his hot cum filled her.
Matthew held her close and gave her a quick kiss, then tenderly she kissed him
back, lingering longer. He stroked her hair as her breathing became more relax,
then she fell asleep and he watched her before drifting off to sleep.

A hissing, pumping printing press yields to the tiny click-clack of typesetting at Scott King's Red Dragonfly Press. King's shop is set up at the Anderson Center in Red Wing.
When you enter his light-filled studio, you're greeted with sheets of poetry hanging on racks, waiting to dry. There's a collection of antique typesetting machines, a printing press and a bunch of individual letters in various fonts.
Red Dragonfly Press is made up of mostly poetry chap books, which King lovingly assembles by hand. He starts out small, placing by hand each letter, each punctuation mark and all the spaces between words. He works line by line, until the pages are filled.
Then it's off to the press, which takes the letters that King has assembled and imprints them on to paper, with ink. The whole process seems slow, but meditative. King uses a lot of love and a little elbow grease to make it happen.

Credit Card Center Advertiser Disclosure†
That is very impressive.
I honestly don't think I could handle that many so kudos to you for being able to do so.
omg thats mind blowing.........i would also like to see the wallet that holds these bad boys
Dear lord.... So having a lot of cards does not hurt your credit score at all, correct ? (as long as your average age and time since last app are good)
Whoa.... And I thought I had alot of cards
Please explain your title.
1 Why is it a little too much. You say you manage it well.
2. Why can't you risk getting rid of em? I assume you mean any of them? What is the risk?
Holy Moly! Wowser Happy Holidays!
Um, wow. I don't know if I am impressed, or feel bad for you
But, it's awesome that you have some really high limits and pretty much all of the major prime issuers covered.
I know many might disagree, but I would close some of the cards that don't benefit you. At this point, with your profile, it seems that maintaining the card(s) that give you the most benefit, that you will actually use, would be the most prudent action. I don't think you'll be damaging yourself in any significant way by closing cards that you don't truly use anyway. I have a score far below yours, and do actually close out cards and their history if I'm not using them or the limits are too small. It's kind of stressful managing too many accounts. I try to just maintain a 5yr AAoA, which seems to do the trick for me when it comes to easy approvals for new cards.
And as far as your combined CL of > $400k, I wouldn't count it that way. If you start running them up, there's no guaranty that the companies wouldn't suspend your account at any time if they notice some sudden risk. And when one bank does that, others may follow. Not trying to be a downer, but I think it's a reality.

Wow!!! I'm speechless! So many cards!
Props for being able to handle that amount of cards!
Alright, I thought mine was bad...
I've got about 15 (I think, lol), and am definitely closing some when they hit one year of being open - it's just too much for me to keep track of...
Kudos to you, though - you're obviously doing a great job managing all that.

Investors Flush Zynga (ZNGA) IPO Down The ToiletFriday, December 16th, 2011
Zynga, the much antipacted tech IPO, raised $1 billion valuing the company at over $9 billion. However, on its first day of trading, Zynga (ZNGA) closed at $9.48 per share below its IPO price of $10, giving the company a valuation of $6.34 billion.
It took about 10 minutes to crash after it made its trading debut at 11 a.m. today.
It began the day trading at $11 and briefly rose above that to as high as around $11.25 — about 12% higher than its IPO price. Then it came crashing down and it traded below $9.75. This morning it is trading at $8.75 per share.
However, don't cry for Zynga CEO and Founder Mark Pincus, he is making out ok. His stake in the company is still valued at approximately $1 billion.
Zynga is said to be the largest tech IPO since Google, and is viewed as a barometer for Facebook which plans to IPO next year.
Zynga, launched in 2007, has come from nowhere to dominate an industry led by Electronic Arts valued at $6.7 billion, Activision valued at $13.4 billion and is making head way into areas dominated by Sony and Nintendo.
Zynga, gets most of its users and traffic from Facebook and monetizes them via in-game advertising and selling virtual goods. Virtual goods account for only 3% of ad dollars however account for 95% of Zynga's revenues. Perhaps investors sobered up after reading the prospectus.

Types N and S
Xenia, Ohio
Richmortar Portland Cement-Lime Mix is a factory blended product consisting of ASTM C150 portland cement and ASTM C207 (Type S) hydrated lime. These components are proportioned under controlled conditions to assure product consistency.
Color selection may be made through your local Richmortar representative.
Basic Use: Richmortar Portland Cement-Lime Mix is specially formulated and manufactured to produce masonry mortar for use in brick, block, and stone masonry construction.
Types: Richmortar Portland Cement-Lime Mix products are produced in Type N and Type S strength levels for use in preparation of ASTM Specification C270 Type N and Type S portland cement-lime mortars, respectively.
Limitations: Richmortar Portland Cement-Lime products are designed to be mixed with sand and water. The addition of any other materials to this product at the job site is not required or recommended, unless specified
Availability: Richmortar Portland Cement – Lime Mixes are available in one cubic foot sacks containing a plastic moisture barrier.
Proportioning: A bag of Richmortar Portland Cement – Lime Mix when mixed with 2¼ to 3 cubic feet of sand meeting ASTM C144 "Aggregate for Masonry Mortar" will produce a mortar that meets the Proportion Specification requirements of ASTM C270 (Table1).
A bag of Richmortar Portland Cement – Lime Mix when mixed with 2¼ to 3½ cubic feet of sand meeting ASTM C144 "Aggregate for Masonry Mortar" will produce a mortar that meets the Property Specification requirements of ASTM C270 (Table 2).
Mixing: Machine mixing should be used whenever possible. First, add most of the water and half of the sand. Next, add the portland cement and lime with the rest of the sand. After one minute of continuous mixing, slowly add the rest of the water. Mixing should continue for at least three minutes; extending mixing up to five minutes improves mortar qualities.
No admixtures should be used without the written approval of the architect or engineer of record.
Water: All water should be clean and free from organic material and deleterious amounts of dissolved acids, alkalis and salts.
Retempering: To minimize retempering, mortar should not be mixed more than 15 minutes prior to use. Retempering will not adversely affect mortar quality if only evaporated water is replaced. Colored mortar should not be retempered.
Tooling of Joints: Tooling of mortar joints increases the density, durability and water tightness of the mortar surface. The moisture content of the mortar when tooled will affect the color; the drier the mortar, the darker its final color.Close

Gov. Dayton and GOP legislative leaders intend to continue budget negotiations tomorrow with the hope of averting a state government shutdown next Friday. The two sides wrapped up an all-day round of private budget meetings today.
"We made progress," GOP Senate Majority Leader Amy Koch said to reporters during a brief news conference.
The two sides met privately in a conference room outside of the Speaker Office in the State Office Building. The chairs of the respective committees shuffled in and out of meetings that featured Koch, Assistant Senate Majority Leader Geoff Michel, GOP House Speaker Kurt Zellers, House Majority Leader Matt Dean and House Ways and Means Chair Mary Liz Holberg. Gov. Dayton was flanked by Management and Budget Commissioner Jim Schowalter, DFL House Minority Leader Paul Thissen and DFL Senate Minority Leader Tom Bakk.
Dayton and the GOP controlled Legislature disagree over the best way to erase a $5 billion projected budget deficit. Dayton wants to increase taxes on top earners. Republicans say the shortfall can be erased through spending cuts.
Neither side offered specifics on the discussions but Dayton called it a constructive day.
"We've run through a number of expenditure bills," Dayton said. "We've come to agreement on considerable parts of them. We've had areas of disagreement on parts of them. We have areas of disagreement that we'll go back to but it was a very worthwhile day but I feel good about the rapport we've established, the civility that prevailed and the results that we've achieved."
Dayton and GOP leaders declined to say if they reached agreement on a total budget amount. Zellers and Koch said they talked mostly about State Government Finance, K12, Transportation, Public Safety and the Courts and Jobs and Economic Development in today's meetings. They say they'll talk about those bills along with Taxes, Health and Human Services, Environment and Higher Education tomorrow.
Dayton was careful to note that they haven't reached agreement on any individual budget bills.
Zellers said Governor Dayton and Republican leaders both want to reach a deal.
"We've gone through spreadsheets. We took out highlighters," Zellers said. "It was a very productive day. We covered a lot of issue areas in the time that we were in there. I share the governor's sentiment."
Dayton and lawmakers are bumping against a July first deadline. State government will shut down if Dayton and lawmakers don't reach a budget deal.
There have been a few signals that the two sides are making progress in reaching a deal. They held a news conference together instead of separately. They have also declined to discuss budget specifics with the press and dropped their respective talking points during their brief comments to the media. But Dayton signaled that they still had work to do when asked if he was optimistic that a deal can be reached by next Friday.
"I'm not confident of anything other than the sun rising," Dayton said. "We'll see what happens tomorrow."
Dayton and GOP leaders meet again tomorrow morning at 9:30.

All of the SWIG utility functions would be repeated for each module. In any case, I split the file into 2 and the total time for compiling both is about the same as as compiling the current sparsetools_wrap.cxx. This would be a win for parallel builds, but until numscons is the official build system, I'm against making changes as invasive as splitting up an extension module just to optimize for that. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco

The LBJ School announced today that six LBJ School students have been selected to participate in the School's international exchange program with Israel's Lauder School of Government, Diplomacy and Strategy at the Interdisciplinary Center (IDC) in Herzliya.
The six are Jason Bilodeau, Steven Damiano, Matthew Deal, Aliza Litchman, Timothy Long and Sophia Steiner. They will participate in the Lauder School's Executive Certificate program in Counter-Terrorism Studies and complete the equivalent of six graduate level courses taught by top experts from Israel and abroad. Students also participate in field trips and independent research. Second-year MGPS student Rachel Markowitz will also spend Fall 2014 at the Lauder School as the first student to participate in a full semester exchange program with IDC.
Through this reciprocal exchange program, six Lauder School students will travel to the LBJ School to participate in a three-part academic program designed to maximize student engagement with local, state and federal agencies, non-profits and think tanks to give students a deeper understanding of American politics and policymaking. The summer program also includes a trip to Washington, D.C. where students spend a full week experiencing federal policymaking firsthand.
Additionally, this summer LBJ School Dean Robert Hutchings will travel to Israel to teach a course on diplomacy, while Lauder School Professor Galia Golan will travel to Austin to teach a course on the "Arab-Israeli Conflict and the Peace Process."
In 2013, Lauder School Dean Alex Mintz visited the LBJ School to teach a course and workshop in decision making and LBJ School Professor Eugene Gholz taught a course on U.S. defense policy and politics at the Lauder School.
Faculty members of the two schools also pursue collaborative research projects each year. Last year's conference on "Reinventing Diplomacy" has resulted in a book manuscript that was recently accepted for publication by the Oxford University Press with the working title "Foreign Policy Breakthroughs: Case Studies in Successful Diplomacy."
These exchanges represent a significant expansion of the LBJ School-Lauder School partnership that began in 2012, thanks to the generosity of Livingston and Saranne Kosberg. The two schools plan a further expansion of the partnership to draw on the strengths, cultures and traditions of both schools with the mutual goals of influencing public policy education and training and producing innovations in teaching and research through an exchange program.
The 2014 LBJ School exchange students have diverse backgrounds and policy interests and have work experience in a variety of non-governmental organizations, think tanks and research institutions. Matthew Deal, a Master of Global Policy Studies student specializing in security, law and diplomacy, is one of the six students selected for the competitive exchange program.
"The LBJ/IDC exchange program presents an extraordinary opportunity to experience firsthand the complexities that underpin regional U.S. foreign policy," said Deal. "The program will elevate my professional credentials and yield an in-depth understanding of Middle Eastern cultural and geopolitical dynamics."
According to Deal, he hopes this program will provide hands-on experience dealing with public policy challenges that carry global implications.
The LBJ School also benefits from exposure to international students and their global view of international policy challenges. Professor Sherri Greenberg has taught a policy course to Lauder School students since 2012.
"Having international students is enriching," said Greenberg. "We learn as much from them as they learn from us. Their questions about why we have the system of government we do in the United States makes us think about assumptions we take for granted."

Under normal circumstances, news that a diner -- a good diner, one with some age and enough funk and grunge to gladden my blackened little Rust Belt heart -- had redecorated would really piss me off. Why? Because "redecorating" is often a code word for repackaging or repurposing, a polite way to say that the ownership has decided to kick out the bums, install track lighting and potted ferns, and basically dress the place up in borrowed finery in order to attract a more cosmopolitan crowd. Redecorating has been the death knell of many a fine all-night dive, because once the pockmarked counters, cigarette-blistered Formica and patched vinyl go, the cheap steaks, 24-hour breakfasts and bloody burgers are soon to follow. And when the place that's doing the redecorating is one that's near and dear to my heart? That makes me very, very nervous.
So I watched carefully as the Denver Diner at the corner of Speer and Colfax went through an autumnal molting. From the relative seclusion of my favorite booth in the corner, I observed them gutting the joint -- tearing up the floor, ripping out tables, decapitating the counter stools. The stainless steel and aluminum were stripped of a decade's worth of smut and nicotine stains, then buffed back up to a mirror shine. This worried me, because a diner isn't the kind of place where you want a lot of reflective surfaces. There, the only time you should ever see yourself is in a cracked bathroom mirror or a chance reflection in a window, the lights of passing traffic smudging through your blurry face.
I scrutinized every change that was wrought at the Denver Diner over the course of two weeks, stopping in every couple of days to check on the progress, always in fear that the cleaning and scrubbing and retrofitting of new elements into the old, comfortable space would go too far, would cross an invisible threshold and unbalance some vital ratio of gloss to grunge and tip the place over into the realm of the faux-'50s diners that now exist everywhere like gleaming, neon-lit shrines to some god of $6 milkshakes. I didn't know where the tipping point would be; there's no formula for calculating what makes a good diner, just a visceral thrum you get somewhere behind your heart when you walk into a place and know you've hit a main nerve of midnight Americana. The flip side of that is when you walk into a Gunther Toody's, a Denny's recast into its new, cookie-cutter Happy Days mold, a Hard Rock Cafe, even, and feel nothing but the chill of something exhumed from the grave.
But while this redecorating came close, it stopped blessedly short of that point where it would tumble the Denver Diner over into cutesy pop-culture copycat-ism. It gazed right down into that abyss, but it did not cross the line. The look was sharpened -- giving a new edge to a dining room gone a little blunt over its years of constant service -- but the big change was the color scheme. Someone somewhere must have gotten a very good deal on purple vinyl, because now every stool and every seat is covered in the stuff -- the seat backs accented by sharp triangles of silver -- and each booth looks like the front seat of a showroom-condition purple Chevy Impala headed fast for the mountains.
Over at 13160 East Mississippi, Cafe Paprika has gotten in on the redecorating game, too. In the charmingly Middle Eastern-themed dining room, with its gauzy curtains and murals, the foreign vibe has been amped up with couches replacing all of the chairs. I already liked this place for the brief, quiet sense of culinary escapism it provided amid all the McNuggets and Riblets of Aurora's fast-food jungle, but the couches make it seem even more tempting -- the perfect spot for relaxing over a shared plate of bastilla or just sipping sweet mint tea and watching the world go by.
Lincoln's Road House at 1201 South Pearl Street has undergone a more drastic image change. Its dining room is now known as Poirrier's Cajun Cafe, and it serves a menu about as straight-up Acadian as anything I've seen this side of the Mississippi. We're talking five kinds of po' boy, sausage with rémoulade, fried pickles, Cajun popcorn (actually a big plate of peeled N'awlins crayfish, corn-floured, batter-dipped and deep-fried), gumbo, blackened catfish and crawfish tail étoufée. That's roadhouse grub I can really appreciate. Someday I'll tell you the story about the swamp party I stumbled into while driving through Louisiana and how I ended up at a crawdad-and-crab boil with Elvis. Laissez les bon temps rouler, mis amis.
Leftovers: My research staff here at Bite Me World Holiday Headquarters has been making a list and checking it twice to find restaurant news both seasonal and not so.
First, Adega has added Monday-night dinners to its schedule. With all the press this place has been getting (including some nice bumps in recent issues of Gourmet and Food & Wine), I don't think it will have much trouble carrying the house on what's generally a deadly slow night in LoDo -- and with the recent troubles surrounding the opening of Table 6, my guess is that Adega will have plenty of staff on hand for the extra night.
Aix has been serving brunch for a few months now, with a new menu every week and drink specials for those of you who need a classy excuse for drinking before noon on a Sunday. That makes up for the fact that the 35th Avenue Grille at the Park Hill Golf Club has stopped serving brunch. It still does lunch seven days a week, but I guess the carved meats, eggs Benny and omelette stations just weren't doing it. And Pesce Fresco is dinner-only these days.

The Holly Inn is closed and will be reopening after the holidays as La Fontana -- but, yeah, the famous, trademarked, overstuffed burrito known by the faithful as the Tacorito will be back on the menu. Pho Van, which replaced Richard Lee's Noodle House, has already been renamed Noodle Souper. Peppers has new owners (Nick and Angela Giatis), as does the venerable Chez Walter, where Robert Sansone -- a Johnson &Wales grad and former chef at the Brown Palace's Ship Tavern -- has taken on chef/owner responsibilities. He promises that the place will continue to showcase the best of Continental dining, and an overhauled menu will debut after the holidays.
In Littleton, El Ranchito, Iris Cafe and Meglio's are no more. The latter has become another link in the Castle Rock-based Nicolo's chain of Chicago-style pizza joints, and that's a good thing, because Denver's been very short on deep-dish translations. Speaking of foreign food, Denver also recently lost Phoenicia (Middle Eastern), Jorge's Hamlet (Mexican) and Saigon Vietnamese (Vietnamese, obviously).
Finally, Henderson's Donuts -- the Lakewood spot that tried to make a go of being a full-menu restaurant with sandwiches and dinner entrees, along with crullers and jelly-filleds -- couldn't quite cut it in the land of Krispy Kreme. The bakery's gone dark, and the phone has been disconnected. If any development in this world of chain restaurants and corporate expansion should be cause for a moment of somber reflection, it's the closing of another doughnut shop. So can we have a moment of silence, please?

Oak-leaf hydrangea, wild blueberries, red cedar, Montauk daisies, sea oats, holly and driftwood surround the home of Patrick Bader and Patrick Logue. To an outsider, the coastal wildwood might seem a bit too untamed, too undeveloped. But to Logue and Bader, born-and-bred mainlanders who now live and work year-round on South Jersey's cape, the scene is just right. House-hunting five years ago, the couple came across a FOR SALE sign atop a 25-foot-tall dune on the edge of Cape May. The location had the one thing they wanted most: "An unobstructed view of the westerly sunset over the Delaware Bay, which is something pretty rare along the East Coast," says Logue. All that was missing: the house itself. Enter Nantucket architect Rex Ingram and Cape May builder Ross Denham, who created a modern upside-down dwelling to maximize the seascape surroundings, both inside and out.

Here's Gregory's explanation, in a post-show Web-only feature:
Senator Santorum called me out on something that you didn't see on the air. But I feel like I just have to acknowledge that he could have been right, and it's behind me here. I have the figure of Alex Ovechkin from the Capitals, and this miniature Stanley Cup, that's part of our set. I describe this as aspirational, since the Caps have not won a Stanley Cup. He thinks that was totally misleading, calling me out, and nearly was gonna do it during the interview. I just want to acknowledge that he is right, there is a misleading aspect to this, but I'm sticking with it because it's aspirational, that I hope one day he wins one of these.
Well, good work anyhow, Santorum. I'm sure you know have suburban Pittsburgh voters locked down.

Adrian "Tots" Lunceford, 95, Long Prairie, passed away on May 13, 2013, at the Centra Care Health System in Long Prairie. Funeral services for Adrian were held on Saturday, May 18, 2013, 11:00 a.m., at the Peace United Church in Long Prairie with Pastor Gary Taylor officiating. Interment was held at Evergreen Cemetery, Long Prairie.
Adrian "Tots" Lunceford was born March 30, 1918, in Long Prairie, MN to Andrew & Lillian (Palas) Lunceford. Childhood years were divided between San Diego and Long Prairie, graduating from Long Prairie High School in 1936. He served his country in the United States Army National Guard, and was honorably discharged in 1945, returning to Minnesota.
Upon his return Adrian met Shirley Haden and they were married in June of 1948. Together they had two wonderful children, Craig and Ann, while living in Verndale, MN. They later moved to Long Prairie and were divorced in 1977.
Adrian was employed as a lineman for MN Power and Light for many years, retiring in 1978. Leisure time was spent fishing, road hunting, and annual deer hunts with his son and buddies.
On September 23, 1980 he was united in marriage to Irma (Bebault) Kamphenkel. They enjoyed many retirement years wintering in California, making new friends and family visits.

Buckle up, Rosie O'Donnell returns to 'The View' for a visit
DVR alrert! Rosie O'Donnell is coming back to The View, at least for a day. For some people she's akin to nails on a blackboard but she is ratings gold. Even if you don't like her, it's fun to watch the interplay. But don't discount that she also has a very solid base of fans who find her a refreshingly honest talker on daytime shows, calling BS on the obvious but also an astute observer of popular culture.
The show announced Monday that O'Donnell will be a guest on the daytime gabfest on Feb. 7 (that's the same day she had been booked at the Tampa Improv for a one-night appearance, but that's now canceled). Her tenure as a panalist was notably stormy, most notably her epic fight with Elisabeth Hasselbeck on May 23, 2007. The live, unedited fight started over the War in Iraq, but quickly escalated into other things. It felt like issues had been stewing behind the scenes for months and it was ugly and awkward, and we couldn't look away. Watch here:
O'Donnell said after leaving that she had experienced something like post-traumatic stress disorder, and show creator Barbara Walters said she resented the way O'Donnell dumped on the show.
So what brings these crazy kids back together? Walters said Monday that she has great affection for O'Donnell who is a part of the show's history.
"I have great affection for Rosie and we have remained in contact through the years," Walters said. "I am happy to welcome her back to the program. She is always a lively and engaging guest and a part of the show's successful history."
O'Donnell, who is currently guest-starring on the series the Fosters, and rebuilding her standup act (including a stop at The Improv in Tampa on Feb. 7) said that "I learned that for me, if I can't be the boss of a show, I shouldn't be on the show." Hasselbeck left The View last year after 10 years and is now a co-host on Fox and Friends.
This is Walters' last season on the show.

Had a BA July 26th. At 5'1" and 110 pounds, I wore a 34A cup bra. After two doctors, I choose the one who suggested a slightly larger implant than I had in mind to avoid a breast lift. I liked the way 286cc style #15 silicone looked, went with 325cc style # 20 silicone to accomplish less scarring and avoid the lift. It looks as if that size will accomplish what the doctor hoped. I was told my final result would be a full B cup to a small C cup. Do you think end results will be a C cup?
Will my D Cup Looking Implants End Up Where the Doctor Suggested They Would (Full B, Small C) with More Time?
Doctor Answers 2
What size will 325cc implants give me?
Cup sizes are so variable between manufacturers that 34A in one woman's wardrobe and a different 34A bra in another woman's wardrobe gives about a ZERO chance that their breasts are the same size! The same goes for C cup sizes, and to further quantify by saying "small C" or "full B" is totally non-helpful in stating an objective breast size.
In general, I have told my patients for years that it takes 250cc to equal about one cup size. (Realize that a can of soda is 360cc.) Thus, your 325cc implants added less than a full can of pop volume to each of your breasts' starting sizes. Or, by my method of estimation, you added about 1 1/3 cup sizes to whatever you started with.
So I'd say you are just about right on target!
More importantly, once things have settled, softened, and dropped into final position, the question to ask is not what letter is on the label of the bras you buy, but whether or not you like the size of your breasts. THEN, you buy the bras that fit well and look nice, regardless of the letter on the label! (And you might find that a D bra from Victoria's Secret fits your breasts best, even though another bra manufacturer's C bra fits equally well. SO which bra manufacturer is "correct?")
Relax and heal well; follow your surgeon's advice and understand that it takes a while (months) to get to your final result. I think you'll be just fine! Best wishes! Dr. Tholen

Will my 325 cc implant look like a C cup?
Hi. It's really hard to predict a cup size based only on an implant size. Cup size are different for one bra company to another. Your final cup size will also depend on your breast width. On a wider chest a 325 cc implant won't be the same cup size that on a patient with a very narrow chest.
Regarding your surgery it is too early to talk about your final result. It takes around 2 - 3 months before you can see the final result especially if the implant was under your muscle.
Good luck

In 2009, the love of making furniture brought me to Brooklyn. That and an incredible woman who eventually married me. We now have a daughter that even loves to tinker in the studio. More than a few tufts of grey hair and three progressively bigger shops in seven short years, we present to you our product and process. Analog Modern is a multidisciplinary studio primarily working in furniture, but we've designed retail spaces, built treehouses on two continents, and are working on a line of quilts. Our clients include Google, Etsy, Gensler, Helmut Lang, Theory, Miansai, Illesteva, Calvin Klein, Amy Lau Design, MGM Grand, and whole slew of nice New Yorkers. We are one of an all too small handful of Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC® C125400) certified designers and manufacturers in New York. We strive to use a palette of hardwoods local to the Northeast and default to no-VOC hand-applied finishes. A number of our products have gone through a transparency audit and now have Declare labels from the Living Futures Institute (similar to LEED, but way more stringent). Please take a look at our work; we'd love to create something with you.

Why beat up on Liz Balmaseda? After reading the piece "Buying Time" by Rebecca Wakefield in the issue of June 27, I feel compelled to write. First I think Jim DeFede's addition to the Herald is as good a move as they've made in a long time. I hope they give him the freedom you did at New Times.
More importantly, I am writing about Liz Balmaseda's move at the Herald. Balmaseda is the one person there who brings the life of the dispossessed and the marginalized, the often immigrant lives that are rarely described with the dignity they deserve, to us as readers. Those lives are not told as "sappy heartstring melodramas," but rather with the understanding of the difficulties of human life, especially as an outsider in modern-day America, that she regularly captures in her columns. Frankly Balmaseda reminds me of how easily we all, including myself, fall into the trap created by the false values we confront daily, forgetting the very human values we must have if we are to continue. And if Balmaseda says she's content with her move, I believe her.
Her honesty and courage is why I asked her to join me at an ACLU function in December, because as an advocate for freedom of expression I felt her courageous and compassionate voice exemplified what I was fighting for. I will not forget when she took on the terrorists (a term that is now too loosely thrown around) in Miami when others did not -- something she did before New Times even existed here, and something that New Times has done exceptionally well after her trailblazing. The fact that the Herald will apparently no longer have a regular Hispanic columnist on the local news page will also deprive us of an invaluable perspective. While Balmaseda is a friend (which has allowed me to criticize her directly when I believe, as a reader, she is wrong), more importantly she is a treasure as a journalist in this community, someone who should remind us of the values and standards we too often forget. Saludos.

Why beat up on me? Rebecca Wakefield in "Buying Time" reports accurately that I was seeking to branch out from my role as local columnist for the Herald. She reports accurately that Herald executive editor Tom Fiedler responded with a proposal I accepted. Yet Ms. Wakefield writes that the Herald "in effect" demoted me, and that I was "busted back to reporter ranks." Remarkably she never asked me, nor ever attempted to answer, the obvious question: "So, Robert, why did you request a demotion?" After nearly nineteen years in this business, I think I can tell the difference between a rare and exciting opportunity and a kick to the curb.
Robert Steinback
The king is dead -- long live the queen: Jim DeFede has left Miami's alternative newspaper to write a book and go establishment at the Miami Herald. We mourn his departure. But only for a little while. He is survived by Rebecca Wakefield, a writer who can dig up as much dirt as DeFede and ably spread it among this newspaper's pages.
Will DeFede survive in this establishment miasma? Time will tell. So will Alberto Ibargüen, the Herald's publisher. Just as many of us have mourned the passing of Tom Dubocq and other Herald greats who have left for greener pastures, so will we mourn DeFede's passing. As he wades through the muck of Miami-Dade County government, will Ibargüen allow him to write of the dirt he finds, or will he insist that DeFede find some greenery among the mire? Where else but in the Miami Herald do we find the publisher sitting down with Miami's own version of the Flying Nun, Sister Jeanne O'Laughlin, and making the news instead of reporting it? Yes, DeFede is going to have a grand old time in Herald Land.
I was shocked but not upset to see Steinback and other Herald stalwarts banished to the inside pages. This I feel is a just reward for Steinback, who recently moderated a forum where I spoke. I suggested that the legislators in the room and United Teachers of Dade boss Pat Tornillo comment on my proposal to amend legislation that would, I believe, save Florida's school districts much money and keep the most experienced teachers. All Steinback could say when no one said a word was "thank you," and with no comment of his own. Hello Jim! Bye bye Bobby!
Wakefield has already proven that she is able to plumb the depths of government at all levels in Miami-Dade, exposing the crap that be -- though we will miss DeFede, we still have Rebecca.

The whole lot of you needs a refresher course: The article about Steinback, Balmaseda, and DeFede underscores the need to bring in fresh talent who can be objective. At the Miami Herald Edna Buchanan was renowned for her perspective, but the one thing she did, aside from trampling over other reporters at crime scenes (sorry Edna), was to keep it real -- real gory, but real. Today we've lost objectivity from our fourth estate.
Cases in point: Liz Balmaseda gets involved (directly) in the Elian prayer vigil. It is important to get a gut-level perspective, which earned Ms. Balmaseda bragging rights to the Pulitzer award in 1993, but, as they say in the biz, "What have you done in the last decade?" Perhaps less sap and more reality would earn her more recognition?
Case number two is our own "Geraldo Rivera of the school system" -- Jilda Unruh. Poor Ms. Unruh was so busy chasing "the story" where there was none that she brought a fifteen-million-dollar lawsuit down upon her, and WPLG-TV (Channel 10), for violating the sanctity of a hospital room because the man who was the target of her investigation was awaiting a cardiac procedure and couldn't find sanctuary from the stress that she brought with her. What did she get from the interview? Zero. What did she uncover after the 30-day restraining order that he brought against her was over? Zero.
Whether you are a Boston Globe reporter who plagiarized the hell out of a story or a local Miami reporter, you are still charged with one thing, and one thing only: Report the truth without parsing words or trying to destroy a person's life with innuendo. In the end reporters reap what they sow, be it a "reorganization" of the newspaper staff, or a huge lawsuit for trying to be the self-appointed inspector of the school system.

Truth, dear readers, is one of the things that is more obscured than ever as the "reporters" insinuate guilt where there is none and try to draw ratings and attention to further their own ends. Perhaps all mentioned should take a lesson from Carl Hiaasen and consider a sabbatical for a fresh perspective. Lord knows they, and the readership, could use it.

text: Sweden: Teacher fired because of his music 27 June 2008 A school teacher in the small town Västervik was kicked out after only one week's employment because the school found out that he played in a heavy metal band, reported the Swedish Broadcasting Corporation on 24 June 2008. The school headmaster, Sven Torstensson, did not approve of the song lyrics of the new teacher's heavy metal band – lyrics which, according to the headmaster, were desillutioned and marked by blood, death and appraisal of suicide. Life is meaningless The high school is specially focused on students with problems and many of them has a passed marked by failures. "It will be very hard to explain to the parents that we have a teacher who performs lyrics about for exemple 'praise the suicide' and about how life is meaningless", the headmaster says to the Swedish Broadcasting Corporation. Before the teacher had even started working, he was informed that he was not welcome any more. The sole reason for the rapture of the contract was the lyrics of his heavy metal band. Not a proper chance The chairperson of the the National Association of Teachers pointed out that an important part of a teacher's job is to be able to separate between their personal life and what they teach in school. She tells the Swedish Broadcasting Corporation: "I question the headmaster's actions in this case, because the teacher has the proper education for this job and has gotten the job in due order. He has not done anything wrong in connection with his job. He has not even had a proper chance to show his competence." The teacher has pressed charges against the headmaster for violating his right to freedom of expression. However, on 27 June, the newsagency TT reported that the case will not be investigated any further.
