State senators are scheduled to vote today on a $17.1 billion education budget that allows Cleveland students to attend private schools at taxpayer expense and limits the expansion of a new form of public schools.
The Ohio Senate Finance and Financial Institutions Committee prepared the Senate version of the spending plan Monday and hammered out a $22.6 billion budget bill to cover the rest of government operations Tuesday.
House Bill 282 is the state's first education-only budget, with funding for primary and secondary education as well as higher education.
The separate budget was written to signal the Ohio Supreme Court that lawmakers are prioritizing education funding in response to the court's 1997 directive to overhaul the way Ohio finances public education.
State Sen. Anthony Latell, D-Girard, said Republicans who control the Senate cooperated with Democrats to produce beneficial spending plans although Democrats object to some of their provisions.
"I think there was good cooperation between both sides of the aisle and we worked out a bill that will benefit most Ohioans," said Latell, a Finance Committee member.
The education budget provides $44.5 million more for basic education than approved by the Ohio House last month and $10 million more for higher education, which guarantees each state college and university will receive 3 percent more in state aid next school year than this year.
The education budget guarantees each school district will have $4,052 per student to spend next school year, up from $3,851 this year. The Senate version hikes spending to $4,294 per student the following year.
The bill contains $31 million for intervention programs for students having trouble passing the state's mandatory proficiency tests and spends $325 million on constructing new school buildings in the state's poorest school districts. It also provides $48 million to the eight largest city school districts, including Youngstown, to help repair facilities in those districts.
The bill continues the Cleveland Scholarship Program, which provides about a $2,200 voucher to Cleveland public school students to attend private schools, including religious-based academies.
The state Supreme Court recently ruled the program unconstitutional and ordered it to terminate on June 30 unless lawmakers renewed the program after debating its merits.
Democrats sought to eliminate it, but Republicans continued the program, providing vouchers for students in kindergarten through fifth grade.
Gov. Bob Taft sought to extend "community schools" from locating in the state's eight largest school districts and all of Lucas County to any school district deemed to be in an "academic emergency" because of sagging scores on proficiency tests.
The bill up for a Senate vote limits the number of new community schools to 75 in the 1999-2000 school year and 100 the following school year. Community schools are public schools that operate without oversight of local school boards and are free from some of the regulations imposed on public schools.
The $22.6 billion general budget bill includes a reduction in the property tax businesses pay on inventory starting in 2002. While members of both parties have called for reducing the tax, previous efforts to drop the rate have failed because the bulk of the money goes to fund public schools.
Senate President Richard Finan, R-Cincinnati, said he is confident that the increased business activity generated from lowering the tax and increases in state aid will more than make up any potential loss schools might experience.
To increase support for the bill, the finance committee added a provision previously promised to the state's working poor by lawmakers but never fulfilled. It provides health insurance benefits through the Medicaid program to all adults whose income is below the poverty level regardless of whether the adult is working or on public assistance.
The move will cost the state about $9.4 million annually and provide health coverage to about 18,000 more Ohioans each month.

- Integrations
Integrate your tools. Connect your software development and delivery team.
There are superb tools available today for every phase of software development and delivery. Tools for developers, for testers, for business analysts and product managers. Tools for service desk, software security, and portfolio management professionals. Without question, these tools make each individual more productive in their own specialty.
The issue is none of these tools speak the same language. Which means more collaboration, status updates and reporting – using email, spreadsheets and status meetings. This is where software integration comes in. By connecting your endpoints your teams can share the artifacts they create and improve workflow processes across multiple departments.
Gateway Add-On
Tasktop Gateway capability allows organizations to scale their DevOps practices by integrating DevOps automation tools enabling visibility across the entire software development and delivery lifecycle. Organizations can now connect tools like CI, CD and test automation; analysis tools like code review and static code analysis; and monitoring tools like APM products to the entire range of Agile and ALM, PPM and ITSM tools supported by Tasktop. The Gateway capability is available as an add-on module for Tasktop Sync and is included as part of Tasktop Data. Explore Gateway >
Tasktop Sync enables:
Connect all stakeholders in the software delivery supply chain. Reduce friction that slows development, introduces errors and makes regulatory compliance difficult.
Unlock data trapped within lifecycle tool silos and let it flow automatically between systems.
Get a view into the relationships among development artifacts and changes made to them – no matter what tool those changes were made in.
Ease of deployment and use
- System administrators can integrate software tools through a graphical interface that lets them create, maintain and monitor integrations – with no programming.
- Differences among data types, text formatting, and even very complex relationships among artifacts are handled right out of the box.
- Browser-based analytics and dashboards simplify management and monitoring of ALM systems.
- ALM tool users never see Tasktop Sync and don't leave their tool of choice; artifacts are synched automatically without manual intervention.
Support for leading ALM and DevOps tools
- Our technology approach and vendor relationships give us unrivaled knowledge of the nuances of each system, create very sophisticated integrations among these systems and allows us to stay abreast of changes in the endpoint systems.
- When the tool vendors release a new version, we support it soon after. For SaaS products, our test lab catches API changes as soon as the release is rolled out.
Enterprise-grade solution
- Our test lab with over 200 dedicated VMs runs hundreds of thousands of tests nightly.
- Tasktop Sync understands, mirrors and synchronizes artifact relationships, no matter how complex, across the enterprise.
- Provides real-time synchronization with <1s response time.
- Highly-efficient change detection algorithm does not over-burden endpoint systems; performance is not gated by the number of artifacts synched.
- Tasktop Sync integrates on-premise, on-demand and hybrid infrastructures.
- Provides advanced conflict resolution – handles simultaneous updates and conflicts resulting from differences in workflow rules among endpoint systems.
- Operates even when endpoints are disconnected or offline.
- Integration templates facilitate large-scale deployments.

Is there anything that i need for RoD's opengl programing tut that isnt already included in the bloodshed dev-C++ compiler or do i need a differnt compiler all together
This has come up before but bears repeating. The tutorial was unfortunately written for msvc++ and #includes one-non-standard, ms specific header that's actually not required for the examples anyway (#include "stdafx.h"). It also uses, again unnecessarily, a #pragma directive(#pragma comment(linker, "/subsystem:windows"). Just remove them and I think you should be okay. If not, post again but please provide either a link to the tutorial in question or post the problematic code.
The OpenGL libs aren't "already included" with Dev-C++, at least I don't think they are; you'll have to download them. There's probably a DevPak for OpenGL.
>>The OpenGL libs aren't "already included" with Dev-C++<<
No, opengl libs have been supplied with dev-cpp since at least v4.01(mingw 295.x) - ie. years before the current version.
here's the link to the tut
Do i need any libraries and if so were should they be placed?
You only need to link with the required opengl libraries: project menu --> project options, select 'parameters' tab and add the following to the 'linker' field:in the project options dialog.Code:
Actually, you'll also need to remove all those #pragma statements. In fact, the opening few lines should look like this:Code:
#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
//#pragma comment(lib, "opengl32.lib")
//#pragma comment(lib, "glu32.lib")
//#pragma comment(lib, "glaux.lib")
//#pragma comment(linker, "/subsystem:windows")
//#include "stdafx.h"
#include <windows.h> // standard Windows app include
//#include <winuser.h> // Windows constants
#include <gl/gl.h> // standard OpenGL include
#include <gl/glu.h> // OpenGL utilties
#include <glut.h> // OpenGL utilties
#define WND_CLASS_NAME "OpenGL Window Class"

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation arrested a Robertson County man Friday for possessing child pornography on his home computers.
According to authorities hundreds of images of children engaged in sexual activity was found on Brian Hampton's computers.
The TBI began investigating the 44-year-old man's online activities and file sharing in July 2012.
He was indicted by a grand jury last month for one count of sexual exploitation of a minor.
Authorities said 850 image files and 129 video files of minors engaged in sexual activity and other graphic images including bestiality.
Hampton was booked into the Robertson County jail. He has since been released on a $10,000 bond.

Shivaji University cordially invites participants for the 33rd Conference of Indian Botanical Society and International Symposium during 10th-12th November, 2010. The beginning of 21st century has given revolutionary impetus to all disciplines of Science. Botany is not an exception to this trend. The plant sciences are really at the crossroads at this particular juncture. The molecular biology and biotechnology are dominating the minds of upcoming generations of young botanists on one hand. On the other hand there is growing awareness about significance of understanding the biodiversity of this planet in toto. The studies in classical avenues in Botany such as cytogenetics, anatomy, embryology, physiology and pathology have thrown light on the complexity of plant forms, functions and responses and the challenges facing the research on the plant systems. The different environmental constrains are adding a very important dimension to this picture. The direct involvement of botany in human welfare and cultural activities from prehistoric times needs to address in current changing science. On this background it is felt worthwhile to discuss new horizons of Botany by bringing together leading Botanists from different parts of world. Since the symposium will be of immense importance to teachers, students and researchers of Botany, it is sincerely hoped that the organizers will receive warm encouraging response in the form of active participation of all those interested in the bright future of subject.
Abstract of papers on the following themes are invited
- Biodiversity, Plant Germplasm Conservation and its Maintenance.
- Structure, Function, and Regulation of Bioactive Plant Molecules.

ANGRY Sally Bercow has branded Lord McAlpine's lawyers "ambulance chasers" —
as she confirmed the top Tory is suing her for libel.
The wife of Commons Speaker John revealed she faces legal action after wrongly
tweeting the former Tory treasurer could be a paedophile.
It came after a Twitter follower asked the reality TV star whether the peer's
lawyers were coming after her. She wrote: "Yes had letter from Lord McA. His
lawyers ambulance chasers tbh # My tweet not libellous".
Friday night's tweet that said: "Why is Lord McAlpine trending? *Innocent
face*" was later removed — but not before The Sun saw it.
Mum-of-three Bercow, 42, has already apologised to Lord McAlpine, saying that
her tweet was "irresponsible".

The test should not be used as a requirement for high school graduation — period.
In 2003, I hired a student from an area high school as a cashier at the supermarket I manage. She was dependable beyond her years and very smart. This young woman made good grades, helped her parents, often before school, by delivering crabs to local accounts (her father was a commercial fisherman at the time), was on the school's girls' weightlifting team, and worked for me after school and on weekends. In the eight years she worked for me, she never called in sick.
This young woman was so bright and had so much initiative, she actually spearheaded the training for our staff of 28 employees when we converted to scanning in 2004. She wrote a how-to book for our cashiers and also one for the management team explaining, in layman terms, how to procure data and various reports. At that time, many of our older cashiers had never touched a computer.
The day before we were ready to go live with the new system, we hit a glitch, transferring an entire pricing file to our master server. This high school girl stayed all night working to correct the file so we could open the following day. We barely made it, but her determination bore results. We opened for business the next morning, and the day went smoothly. Of course, she was there to guide everyone through. Did I mention that this was her very first experience with scanning?
The how-to book she wrote was viewed by Hitchcock Supermarkets scanning and computer system guru Brad Buckles, and after meeting her, he asked me if he could hire her. I said only after I die.
When the time came for this young woman to graduate from high school, she encountered a demoralizing, life-changing snag. She couldn't pass the FCAT. She is in that substantial number of people who do not perform well on standardized tests.
The State Board of Education last week approved a new set of scores for passing the FCAT. They decided the standards need to be higher. Never mind that Florida rates 46th in the United States in high school graduation rates, according to the National Center for High School Education Management Systems, let's up the ante!
The test should not be used as a requirement for high school graduation — period.
Use it as a tool to evaluate a student's progress, but to withhold a diploma from a student who has spent 12 years in school and made passing grades should not hinge on a standardized test.
The educators and administrators in the respective schools should decide who has earned a high school diploma, not politicians who give lip service to improving education, then slash the education budget to ridiculous proportions. Marion County is very likely going to a four-day school week next year to meet their budget shortfall. That should help those students compete in the workplace, if and when they ever graduate.
I think that every Florida legislator should be required to take the FCAT. If they fail, they should be terminated from their position. Now that would be a role for the FCAT I could live with.

Sex Workers' Condoms Used as Smoking Gun by LAPD, Spurring Unsafe Encounters?
Use a condom, go to jail?
Not exactly. But the group Human Rights Watch says police in L.A. are using prostitution suspects' possession of condoms as evidence that they were indeed allegedly working the streets. On top of that, the org argued that cops in L.A. were alleged to have demanded sex in exchange for dropping an arrest. (Hope they had condoms).
A new report "Sex Workers at Risk: Condoms as Evidence of Prostitution in Four US Cities," says authorities' reliance on condom possession to aid in prosecutions can make prostitutes reluctant to carry prophylactics. And that would be bad for their health.
Released last week, a summary of the report says:
The practice makes sex workers and transgender women reluctant to carry condoms for fear of arrest, causes them to engage in sex without protection, and puts them at risk of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases.
Megan McLemore, senior health researcher at Human Rights Watch, said:
One woman in Los Angeles told us she was afraid to carry condoms with her and sometimes had to use a plastic bag instead of a condom with clients to try to protect herself from HIV.
The organization interviewed more than 200 current and former sex workers in L.A., New York, Washington, DC, and San Francisco. The report makes this allegation:
In New York and Los Angeles, women reported that some police had demanded sex in exchange for dropping charges.

The report suggests that the fear of being caught holding condoms could be behind higher numbers of HIV infections in those big cities, particularly among the transgender population and other sex workers.
McLemore said:
These cities gave out 50 million condoms last year. But the police are taking them out of the hands of those who need them the most.
What does the organization want? It calls on "local, state, and federal leadership to stop the use of condoms as evidence of prostitution."

Stuck in the Friend Zone? Author Jack Dalton wants to help. He was once a jack-in-the-box (the Friend Zone box – stay with me here) who broke out and wrote a book: Hesitation Leads To Masturbation (Amazon | iTunes), a humorous field guide for shy, nerdy guy who want to level up his sex life. Here are Jack Dalton's 8 rules for geek dating:
1. Don't let yourself be the loser friend: "I've hung out with those dudes who can slay a chick with just one look. I had become their quirky annoying sidekick, and we all know where that gets us – Jonah Hill, anyone? I was a f***ing mosquito and women were walking around with gallons of OFF."
2. Hit the cantina, but don't make a geeky dude cloud: "A true Boba Fett will strategically order drinks, picking a spot at the bar that will put them in the closest proximity to where the hot girls are standing."
3. Put yourself out there: "It's not an eighth grade dance so stop f***ing staring at chicks with your dick in your hand!"
4. Avoid the geeky friend zone by being upfront: "The minute I meet a woman, it's like I'm playing the sex-version of the board game Clue, but instead of Professor Plum in the dining room with the revolver, it's more like, 'Hot brunette riding me in her hotel room after toasts at the rehearsal dinner.'" Also, Clue references can't hurt either!
5. Go to your friends' weddings prepared: "Weddings are the Ho Chi Minh of crushing: big groups, easy targets, and enough ammo, i.e. booze, drugs, condoms to decimate a room of otherwise polite civilians."
6. Take a plane to Comic-Con: "[The Airport] is a speed-dating contest with rolling suitcases. People are heading off to new places and, thus, looking for someone to commiserate or celebrate with (depending on where you're going). If you have an ounce of skill and tenacity, you can kill it in an airport."
7. No more searching Craigslist Missed Connections after Anime Expo: "Your goal is to go in for the quick intro, establish a fast rapport, qualify, and get her number. Leverage the fact that you probably won't see each other again. Worst-case scenario is that she says, 'No,' and you get some free practice at going in and bringing you closer to banging someone else."
8. Women actually like geeky jokes: "Keep them laughing, and they will keep coming! You could have a big wallet, but, without a personality, you're Forever Alone."

The Redskins remain a strong option for free agent corner Antoine Winfield, a league source said Monday night.
Winfield was visiting Seattle on Monday night and a fourth team, another that made the postseason, is trying to persuade him to visit them as well. The source declined to name the fourth team, though Denver has reportedly had interest.Winfield's old team, Minnesota, also remains interested.
There's no firm timetable as to when Winfield will make a decision, but he'd like to make it soon, a source with knowledge of the situation said. One benefit for the Redskins: their proximity to Winfield's family in Northeast Ohio. His grandparents, with whom he is close, don't fly and drive to his home games.
The Redskins would need to make a move to afford Winfield, but that is not an issue with his camp. They know there are moves the Redskins can make to squeeze him under the cap.

Cat Power Issues New Tune 'Cherokee' With Remix, Maps Out 2012 Tour
It's been a long time since we've been treated to a new album from Cat Power — four years since the all-covers album 'Jukebox' album dropped, a long half-dozen years since the originals-only 'The Greatest' — so fans of Chan Marshall can be forgiven for being impatient for the Aug. 31 arrival of 'Sun.'
We got our first taste of things to come in the form of a tune called 'Ruin' last month, and now here's another taste, with the surprisingly upbeat, almost New Wave-ish 'Cherokee.' If that's not enough to tide you over, the song also comes in remix form, as electronic artist Nicolas Jaar turns in a lush, restrained reworking of the tune. Check them both out below.
Meanwhile, Cat Power will support 'Sun' with a North American fall tour that kicks off on Oct. 13 down in Mexico City and will run through a Nov. 8 gig in Los Angeles.

Made me break outI have never broken out by my eyebrows but a few days after starting to use this product, I did. Since this was the only product to change in my beauty regimen, I immediately stopped using it and returned it to QVC. Brows do NOT look better if your skin is irritated. No thank you. — 8 years, 10 months agoitaliaca | 257 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
Jerez is an important punctuation mark in almost every Grand Prix season. Whether it kicks off the year, as it did ten or more years ago, or whether it marks the return to Europe after the opening overseas rounds, the racing at Jerez is always memorable and remarkable.
Not always necessarily exciting, but always portentous, marking a turning point in the championship.
So it was this year. The MotoGP race saw a shift in momentum, and Valentino Rossi win in a way we haven't seen since 2009. The Moto2 race solidified the positions of the three best riders in the class, and edged winner Sam Lowes towards a role as title favorite.
And in Moto3, Brad Binder broke his victory cherry with one of the most astounding performances I have ever seen in any class, let alone Moto3.
Put to the back of the grid for an infraction of the software homologation rules, Binder worked his way forward to the leading group by half distance, then left them for dead. It is a race they will be talking about for a long time.

Feature Article of Thursday, 10 May 2012
Columnist: Nyamah, Adorye, Kumah & Glovers
Ghana has a poverty rate of 30% according to the United Nations. The incidence of poverty in the three Northern regions is more than double that of the national average, at a staggering 85%. The incidence of extreme poverty is even worse, almost 50% for the three Northern Regions. These unacceptable levels of poverty are the very reason why any government will have targeted policy options to reduce poverty.
In the history of human kind, education has been known to be the most important poverty liberating factor capable of unleashing every human potential. However, in the usual Mills / Mahama NDC fashion, the government is extolling all their good policies and projects especially in the three northern regions when the reveres is the case.
Government initiative in the three northern Region viz aviz SADA, road projects, sheanut factory, Agricultural mechanization among others are several programs cited as examples of gargantuan and unprecedented achievements up North when in actual fact, there is nothing on the ground to show.
The Young Patriots during our pro-SADA demonstrations brought to bear, the fact that some secondary schools in the three Northern Regions had been sent on break due to the NDC government's unwillingness to release feeding grants. Characteristically the NDC government pays no heed to the call from the affected students and parents.
The truth, they say is like a cork and cannot be kept under forever. It has now come to light as was publicly announced that students of Senior High Schools in the three Northern Regions should stay home until further notice whilst their counterparts in the South go to school. These students will be covering the same syllabus over the same period and write the same exams with no excuses made for them in the time lapse.
The Young Patriots are dismayed by the feeble response from the Ministry of education to the effect that feeding grant arrears have been paid and so this should not recur. The ministry needs to get its priorities right and put its monies where its mouth is. If government could consider $40m for printing Atlas books but can only pay arrears of GHC 36m, then it is obvious that education of Northerners is not the priority for the government.
The Young Patriots also want to register our protest at the shifting of the debate from the provision of free SHS to a need base debate in which some highly respected educationist have sort to engage us. First and foremost, with a poverty rate of 85%, there is no question of need for free education in all the three northern Regions. Any attempt by the government to ask Northerners to pay for SHS should be resisted.
The introduction of school feeding program by the NPP government under H.E J.A Kuffour, increased enrolment in the three Northern Regions by an average of 90% according to some studies This was mainly because most of those kids who were used as farm labourers and shepherds to augment the family income could now have a good meal at no cost to the family.
We wish to pray the government to think out of the box and offer pragmatic and lasting solutions to the educational sector especially in the three Northern regions. An example will be for the government to consider the sources of funding for free secondary school education, as proposed by Nana Akufo Addo, the flag bearer of the New Patriotic Party.
The government of the republic of Ghana has used some estimated $400m to flare gas and has used over GHC 600m to pay hoax judgment debts. It is our humble opinion that the estimated $1b from the above areas could have at least sponsored free secondary school education for three years. It is about priorities and the government, has its priorities wrong.

What inspires you?
I find people from the past very inspirational. They provide a link to the way things used to be before big industry took over, which is a great way to restore faith in myself. A great many famous scientists, inventors, and authors have been people who "think outside the box"—and I'm like that too. This reminds me of how even if things are difficult, I am never alone. Sometimes, when I am surrounded by modern technology and environmental depletion, I say to myself, "Wow, I think I must have been born in the wrong century!" Learning about the past gives me motivation to fulfill my dreams and reminds me that although time and space may divide us, we are really all in this together.
Tell us about an issue that matters to you and how you became aware and involved.
Environmental issues and animal rights concern me greatly. Every time I hear about another species going extinct, another factory farm opening, or another forest being destroyed, it just makes me want to work harder to end this selfishness before it is too late. I became aware one day when I saw a bumper sticker for animal rights, which I looked up on the Internet when I got home. It led me to a website promoting vegetarianism, which I very quickly started doing. But even beyond that, it took me on a journey of self-discovery, helping me shape my values and beliefs. I believe that fate has brought me: environment and animal rights movement together.
Share your perspectives on what makes a good leader.
A good leader should be fair to all: humans, animals, and the environment. Leaders need to be able to listen to others, as well as put others before themselves. They shouldn't just do what is popular if they truly believe that what most people believe is wrong. Above all, they have to CARE about everything that goes on in a country or organization . They should have interest in their followers.
Do you think TakingITGlobal can help you achieve some of your goals? Have we already? Please tell us how.
Yes, TakingITGlobal has already started to help! One of my goals is to raise awareness of the environment and animal rights movement and to help people become more environment- and animal-friendly. Thankfully, I have a blog on TakingITGlobal where I can publish many of my ideas and tips. I am hoping that my story can also inspire the rest of the people on the web to take action on environmental issues!

FNH VS Beretta
Welcome aboard!
Can't testify to the FN at all other than the feel wonderful in the hand. I briefly had a PX4 full size chambered in .45 Auto. I absolutely loved the gun, felt wonderful in the hands, recoil of a 9mm out of a .45, accurate, great trigger, easy to maintain. But I had issues with it failing to go into battery. It did this 3 times, all with factory ammo of different brands(PMC Bronze, Speer Lawman, and Winchester White Box).
Beretta's love to be wet and heavily oiled, unlike other guns where a drop will do, a Beretta likes 3-4 drops. This is advice passed to me from a few close friends in the Army.
A very close friend has a PX4 compact 9mm and he recently had the same failure to go into battery as I did. As far as I know it only happened to him once. I have since traded it for a Beretta 96 Centurion which I'm in love with.
Stay safe and happy shooting!

So how is it that 2014 big man Jahlil Okafor continues to list Arizona, but his father says he intends to play in college with Tyus Jones ... who is not considering Arizona?
"The ultimate goal is for both the boys to play together," Okafor's father, Chukwudi, told ESPNChicago.com. "But they may not find a situation that fits them both. It would be great for them to play together."
Okafor is scheduled to visit Arizona on Oct. 11, according to ESPNChicago.
Goazcats took a stab at predicting the recruiting outcomes for the class of 2014 at Arizona.
Several UA recruiting targets are scheduled to play in the Big Strick Classic on Saturday in New York.
Myles Turner says he won't sign until the spring.
Guard Isaiah Whitehead, who still lists Arizona, says he will decide this fall.
SI's Seth Davis looks at life these days with Josh Pastner, Steve Alford and a few other coaches.
Finally, a tough loss for us this week in Patrick Finley's departure for Chicago. Both he and his wife, Kori (a graphics designer who left the Star for the Chicago Tribune), were two of the best people to work with I've come across.
Pat has served as a Pac-12 writer, a football/basketball sidebar writer, a seen-and-heard reporter, a columnist, a long-form feature writer, softball beat guy, Sidewinders beat guy, and just about everything else. While Pat did a nice job today of looking back at his remarkably versatile existence at the Star, here's my favorite:
It's an unfazed Pat sitting in the cramped McKale Center media room after an 8:30 p.m. Fox Sports Arizona game, legs crossed, quickly typing in his lap somehow -- while Sean Miller or Solomon Hill or Kyle Fogg is still talking -- and sending in his story well before interviews end, after maybe 12 or 13 minutes of actual writing.
That's tough to do. And Pat did it well. We'll miss him.

Urgent: Failing NTFS HD - Will ddrescue Read & Write To Windows NTFS Drives?
System: Windows XP
One of my hard drives is failing. I would like to get some data off it. I backup regularly, but am missing about 1.5 weeks worth of data. Sometimes the drive clicks and fails to operate, and if it does operate, it has a few errors here and there.
My failing drive runs Windows XP with a NTFS format. I would like to image the failing drive using ddrescue (I've read that works good) to another NTFS hard drive with more than enough space on it to hold data from the failing HD.
I don't even know if this is possible or how to go about this.
* Can ddrescue read from Windows NTFS and write to a NTFS hard drive?
* What do I need to download so I can boot ddrescue from floppy or CD-ROM so I can image one drive to another (perhaps a partition on another)?
* Do I need to download a Linux boot disk or something with ddrescue on it?
* Are there any free or open source Windows programs that do what ddrescue does? This data is important to me, but not important enough to spend a fortune on. It represents about 40 or more hours of work.
I really have no idea what I'm doing so I'm here hoping for some advice.
As a note, I can only get the failing drive to operate if it is set on the primary IDE ribbon and in the first position.
Any assistance will greatly be appreciated, more than you could imagine.
Thank you,
zipgunner (a total Linux newbie)
SystemRescue CD sounds like what you need:
"Can ddrescue read from Windows NTFS and write to a NTFS hard drive?"
With the NTFS driver in the latest kernel, yes, but I haven't presonally put it to the test yet. However, given the HUGE file that will be produced by the ddrescue dump, make sure it's an NTFS version that supports humongous files and that the Linux NTFS driver can in fact support such large files. At any rate, you have absolutely no problem reading with 'ddrescue' because the program isn't even aware of filesystems - it will simply copy all the (raw) data it can.
"* What do I need to download so I can boot ddrescue from floppy or CD-ROM so I can image one drive to another (perhaps a partition on another)?
* Do I need to download a Linux boot disk or something with ddrescue on it?"
I'd recommend booting from a CD. But for now, completely disconnect your bad HD until you've convinced yourself that the rest of the system is set up to do what you want. If you have yet another HD to play with, I would recommend using it as a dummy in place of the faulty HD just to make sure that it is never mounted.
I have no idea which Live CDs have ddrescue on them. Maybe google can help you locate one.
"* Are there any free or open source Windows programs that do what ddrescue does?"
I have no idea; I find WinDuhs totally uninteresting, absolutely useless, and incredulously deficient in good tools. If you can find a LiveCD which can do the job for you, then do that. WinDuhs tries to do too much behind your back anyway - you will probably find that the computer attempts to mount the defective HD as read/write and totally trashes the already faulty disk. You need a "stupid" system which won't mount an HD unless you specifically request it to. Like I said before, you don't even need to mount the HD to use ddrescue - and in fact you should not attempt to mount it at all.
SystemRescue CD has ddrescue, ntfs-3g, and ntfsprogs - so it should be able to accomplish whatever's needed. I've never needed to use it myself, so I'm only guessing.
I do not see ddrescue listed anywhere on the webpage you provided in the System Tools Included section, though you mention that it is included.
I have another question. My original intent was to image the failing drive to a partition on another drive instead of a single massive 38GB data file so I could then boot up windows and access the files that I need (which is about 25 GB of the total amount of data).
If I create a single image file with a Linux program, is there anyway to extract individual files from that image using a program in Windows?
Otherwise I imagine that I'll need a fresh drive or a fresh partition so I can extract the image onto it.
Thanks for your help and the suggestion from pinniped.
It's mentioned on this page, showing all packages included on the CD:
I've never had any experience of rescuing data, partitions, or anything. So I can't really help, but I'm sure similar problems and questions have cropped up on these forums before, try the Search button at the top of the page. Good Luck.
They have a forum over at sysresccd.org. I'll ask more questions over there.
Thanks for your help and thank you for pointing me to SystemRescue CD, brianL. I really appreciate it. :)
What you want is possibly a free/open source equivalent of Norton Ghost, for Windows. Google for that, I'm sure I've seen something, but can't remember the name.
Is your HD clicking? In my days working as tech support, I've seen this many a time.
Try this at your own risk - it's worked before for me:
First put your HD in the fridge - yes, stick it in your refridgerator. If it's clicking that often means the drive head and/or a bearing is out of whack. The temperature difference will help to pop things back into place allowing you to use the drive for a while.
While the drive is in the fridge, download and burn a copy of KNOPPIX. You need this, or at least some boot CD (or to another HD), because you need to use the HDD as little as possible - the more usage it gets, the sooner it heats up and fails again, and if you don't boot from it then the only usage it gets is from you copying the data.
It seems like usually about 30 minutes is enough, but longer won't hurt. Before you pop the drive in again, allow some time for condensation to evaporate or you may damage the drive further (or another component). You want the drive to be nice and cold, but you want the condensation off of the plate and other drive components - DON'T touch the plate, though, if you can see it.
Hook the drive back up (preferably using an external case, but pop it back in your PC if you don't have one). Then hook up your external drive or whatever you will be copying your data to. Turn the PC on and boot to KNOPPIX, and start copying.
Now, I myself like to do a bit-by-bit copy of the partition using "dd if=/dev/sdb1 of=/media/sdc1/backup" or something of the sort - this way you don't get the errors which I guarantee you will see by doing a direct file copy (remember, each of these errors just stalls the computer, using up time and making your drive more likely to fail again before you finish). Then you can mount the newly-created file as a loopback filesystem to copy individual files and folders at your leisure once all the stuff's been pulled from your old HD. If you don't want to do this, or don't have the drivespace, then go ahead and drag-and-drop the files to a new folder, but be warned - I can almost guarantee that you'll get many copy errors. Also, to save time, you might want to decide not to copy the "System Volume Information" folder - you shouldn't need it, and when you make the partition on your replacement drive it'll pop up again.
Hope that helps!
If you still haven't done anything, I've just found this:
There's a misconception here.
dd (and by extension ddrescue) can write or read no matter what fs are you talking about, because they don't read at fs level, they read raw block devices (like partitions). Being that said, I don't think that dd (and specially, ddrescue) are the best thing for this task.
You should be picking as much files are you can instead, because:
dd is recommended when the fs fails, but the disk is ok. Then you can make a backup to play with. But if the disk is failing, dd is just a way to break it even more.
If you use dd to copy the whole disk/partition, you'll have a copy of it exactly as-is and will have no further need to worry about whether or not you got the files you need, etc. as you will have a copy of the partition (and therefore all its files) which is as perfect as you'll be able to get, and which you can use to pick and choose which files you need (rather than making a spur-of-the-moment "this folder doesn't want to copy so should I just leave it behind and lose all those files" type decision you may regret). You're right that the filesystem needs to be consistent, but if you make a direct copy of it then it will be exactly as consistent as it was when it was first read (as in, the copy won't be inconsistent unless the FS you're copying is inconsistent). The system treats this file as another partition, so it'll be just like copying files from your old drive, without the drive thrashing and grinding.
I guess it depends on how important this stuff is. I'd recommend copying the full partition, like I said - assuming you have the space. If you don't, I suppose you don't have that option.
If you don't like that idea. . . hey, all I'm saying is it's worked for me in the past, and I think it's better to guarantee that you've got all the files (by just copying the entire partition) than to be forced to make a rash decision about what files to copy. But hey, it's your choice.
Now I got to decide on which tool to use then figure out how to use that tool.
I appreciate the input from you people. :)
For example if the partition in question is at /dev/sda1 and you're in KNOPPIX trying to get it copied to a file on a partition mounted at /media/sdb1:
dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/media/sdb1/backup.file
dd if=/dev/sda of=/media/sdb1/backup.file
!MAKE SURE! you DON'T mix around "if" and "of" - "if" indicates the file/device you're copying from; "of" indicates the file/device you're copying to - mixing them around will overwrite it!
Wrt mixing up "if" and "of" that's a good point and sadly we've seen that here before. Would be a good thing to practice a bit.

Quincy council authorizes bus shelter purchase
Tue, 26 Aug 2014 02:06:50 GMT —
The City of Quincy is in the process of buying a new bus shelter just in case something happens to its current ones.
The city replaced a bus shelter at 6th and Harrison several months ago after an intoxicated driver ruined the old one.
It had a spare one on hand in case something like that happened.
Since the State of Illinois bought all of Quincy's bus shelters, the state mandates that the city must replace its spare one in case of future disasters.
Monday night, the city council agreed to purchase a spare one for $4,675.
Quincy's insurance company will reimburse the city for the purchase.
Monday night, the council also voted to add double stop signs at 8th and Jersey.

Cyber Monday shoppers find lasting deals
Posted November 26, 2012
Raleigh, N.C. — What started as a one-day rush to the computer for holiday shoppers has turned into an extended sales event.
The term "Cyber Monday" was coined in 2005 by a shopping trade group that noticed online sales spiked on the Monday following Thanksgiving. The theory was that workers, exhausted from a weekend in the mall, returned to their computers and spent free time surfing for deals.
While it's estimated that this year's Cyber Monday will be the biggest online shopping day of the year for the third year in a row, the sales don't end there.
Many of the deals available online started Friday and most last through the week, and retailers used Twitter to get the word out about short-lived deals – call it the modern "blue-light special."
Amazon.com was touting cyber savings, including 60 percent off a Panasonic VIERA 55-inch TV. Kindles and tablets are up to 20 percent off, and all cases for iPads and Apple products are about half off.
Sears was using Twitter to offer followers four $100 gift cards through Monday. Three of those remained by noon.
Kmart set up a Twitter account just to talk about the deals. @KmartDeals was sharing information about how shoppers could get diamond earrings at up to 75 percent off.
Walmart is among the merchants stretching Cyber Monday until Friday. The retailer was offering discounts,
including a 32-inch JVC TV for $199 and Apple iPod Touch for $179. Smart Shopper: Best Cyber Monday deals
Shoppers can take additional costs off purchases by searching for coupon codes on sites like RetailMeNot.com.
According to research firm comScore, Americans are expected to spend $1.5 billion, up 20 percent from last year on Cyber Monday, as retailers have ramped up their deals to get shoppers to click on their websites.
Retailers are hoping the deals will appeal to shoppers like Matt Sexton, 39, who for the first time plans to complete all of his holiday shopping online this year on his iPad tablet computer. Sexton, who plans to spend up to $4,000 this season, already shopped online on the day after Thanksgiving known as Black Friday and found a laptop from Best Buy for $399, a $200 savings, among other deals.
"The descriptions and reviews are so much better online so you can compare and price shop and, for the most part, get free shipping," said Sexton, who lives in Queens, N.Y., and is a manager at a utility company.
Sexton also said that it's easier to return an online purchase to a physical store than it had been in previous years. "That helps with gifts," he said.
Shop safely online and off
The North Carolina Attorney General's Office issued a reminder Monday about possible pit-falls to online shopping.
"You keep your wallet in a safe place when you go shopping, and it's just as important to guard your money and your personal information when you shop online," said Attorney General Roy Cooper.
Other tips include:
Shop sites you know. Online merchants can pop up and disappear quickly, along with any sales. Research companies and check online reviews to make sure the merchant is above-board.
Compare prices online and off. Don't take a bold statement of savings at face value. Know the normal price for the gifts you want and factor in costs like shipping and returns.
Record contact information for the company. Customer service and delivery inquiries as well as returns are easier with a verifiable street address and phone number. Print out order confirmations to help with follow-up.
Only shop from secure sites. Look for a lock icon on the website and a web address that starts with "https" before entering any personal information.
Other days may top Cyber Monday
How well retailers fare on Cyber Monday will offer insight into Americans' evolving shopping habits during the holiday shopping season, a time when stores can make up to 40 percent of their annual revenue. With the growth in high speed Internet access and the wide use of smartphones and tablets, people are relying less on their work computers to shop than they did when Shop.org, the digital division of trade group The National Retail Federation, introduced the term "Cyber Monday."
"People years ago didn't have ... connectivity to shop online at their homes. So when they went back to work after Thanksgiving they'd shop on the Monday after," said Vicki Cantrell, executive director of Shop.org. "Now they don't need the work computer to be able to do that."
As a result, the period between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday has become busy for online shopping as well. Indeed, online sales on Thanksgiving Day, traditionally not a popular day for online shopping, rose 32 percent over last year to $633 million, according to comScore. And online sales on Black Friday were up 26 percent from the same day last year, to $1.042 billion. It was the first time online sales on Black Friday surpassed $1 billion.
For the holiday season-to-date, comScore found that $13.7 billion has been spent online, marking a 16 percent increase over last year. The research firm predicts that online sales will surpass 10 percent of total retail spending this holiday season. The National Retail Federation estimates that overall retail sales in November and December will be up 4.1 percent this year to $586.1 billion
But as other days become popular for online shopping, Cyber Monday may lose some of its cache. To be sure, Cyber Monday hasn't always been the biggest online shopping day. In fact, up until three years ago, that title was historically earned by the last day shoppers could order items with standard shipping rates and get them delivered before Christmas. That day changes every year, but usually falls in late December.
Even though Cyber Monday is expected to be the biggest shopping day this year, industry watchers say it could just be a matter of time before other days take that ranking.
"Of all the benchmark spending days, Thanksgiving is growing at the fastest rate, up 128 percent over the last five years," said Andrew Lipsman, a spokesman with comScore.

Hey comedy lovers!
In my never-ending search to bring you the coolest new comedy brickabrack before anyone else I think I might have found you something well worth your time. Of course if you don't live in Hollywood, you might have to wait. This innovative sketch show (if you can call it that) called Lost Moon Radio combines (in their own words) "dry sketch comedy with wet rock-and-roll". In more explicit terms it's an oft musical sketch show wrapped in a radio show written, at least partially, by crazy people. I know, hard to wrap your head around. Let me just say this, someone if not everyone in this cast is going to be asked onto SNL sometime soon. This is innovative, driven, shockingly good stuff.
I've had a chance to see these folks live a few times, and I am really impressed. The inevitability of this breaking into television (at least in some capacity) was apparent. What remains to be seen is how. Alternately as the show is mostly audio it could be the next thing on NPR when the Prairie Home Companion cast becomes entirely too skeletal to keep standing up at the microphones.
Standouts from the cast include Matt McKenna (who wrote on American Dad) and Lauren Flans who combines solid acting with unbelievable rapping skills.
The show centers around a radio program broadcast from one of Jupiter's moons (Its LOST moon!). The host of the show presents songs and sketches from his collection and interacts with various wacky characters who call in. You really have to see it to believe it, and if your experience is as good as mine you'll keep coming back.
In a short time this unique show will probably be touring to a city near you, or on television, or both. But until then you'll have to see them on your next trip to the city of angles. Those local can check out their latest show from March 25th to April 2nd at Café-Club Fais Do-Do. The rest will have to check out their website here: LOST MOON RADIO or watch this little gem they recorded for the interwebs:
Check them out! You might see me in the crowd.

When Georgia and Ole Miss play tonight for the first time this basketball season, the Southeastern Conference's top two scorers will be on display for the ESPN2 national television audience.
Shooting guards Marshall Henderson and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope can light it up from behind the 3-point line.
They are not only 1-2 in scoring in the league, but also in 3-pointers made.
Henderson is scoring 19.5 points per game for the Rebels. Caldwell-Pope is averaging 17.7 an outing for the Bulldogs.
Their games, not to mention their personalities, aren't as similar as those numbers might indicate.
"Totally different players," Georgia coach Mark Fox said. "They're wired different."
The 6-foot-2, 175-pound Henderson can be flamboyant and over the top with his on-court displays that included taunting Auburn fans by grabbing a hold of his jersey and waving it after Ole Miss won on the road.
Caldwell-Pope, by comparison, is a "relatively quiet kid," Fox has said.
Opposing coaches haven't been quiet about their praise for the 6-foot-5, 205-pound sophomore.
"I think he's a terrific player," said Alabama coach Anthony Grant after Caldwell-Pope scored 22 points, nearly half of Georgia's output in a 52-45 loss to the Crimson Tide on Tuesday night. "I think he's a guy that needs to be in consideration for player of the year in the league for what he's done. He's very efficient. He plays on both ends extremely hard. He's just a really good player, and I'm really impressed watching him on film and competing against him."
Georgia (12-12, 6-5 SEC) usually goes slow while the Rebels (18-6, 7-4) can speed it up.
Georgia is second to last in the SEC and 327th in the nation in scoring at 59.0 points per game. Ole Miss leads the SEC and is fifth in the nation at 79.3 points per game.
Henderson, a native of Hurst, Texas, who transferred from South Plains (Texas) College after stops at Texas Tech and Utah, is a gunner.
He is jacking up the third most 3-point attempts per game in the nation, and is also third in 3-pointers. He had 19 shots against Tennessee and Kentucky and 18 against Mississippi State.
He's cooled off some in the last week, making just 4 of 15 shots against Missouri and 4 of 11 against Texas A&M.
Caldwell-Pope is second in the SEC in 3-point attempts, but just 66th in the nation.
Although he's played the same number of games as Henderson, he's attempted nearly 100 fewer 3-pointers than Henderson.
Caldwell-Pope is 60 of 160 for 37.5 percent from behind the arc, fifth in the SEC.
Henderson is 93 of 259 for 35.9 percent, sixth in the conference.
"He's a dynamic scorer," Fox said. "He's just a terrific shooter. He plays with no conscience He just fills it up."
Caldwell-Pope is shooting 50.8 percent in SEC games. That came after Caldwell-Pope averaged nearly 17 shots per game against Youngstown State, Southern Miss, Indiana and UCLA in November — all losses.
Fox talked to him in early December about his shot selection.
"He addressed that and that has been one of the things that have made him effective," Fox said.
"I just used the offense to my advantage and take the open shots that they give me," Caldwell-Pope said.
Against Texas A&M a week ago, Caldwell-Pope went 0-for-3 and still scored 10 points.
"I thought he still impacted the game because of the defensive attention that you have to give towards him," Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy said.
Caldwell-Pope didn't have a good night offensively, but Fox said he didn't get him enough shots.
He was 8 of 18 against Alabama, which said Fox was fine, except for an ill-advised shot before halftime that came too early.
Caldwell-Pope doesn't want to be viewed as 3-point shooter only. He has a good mid-range game and leads the Bulldogs in rebounding at 6.4 per game.
"I just want to become an all-around player, just drive the ball and sometime post and shoot the ball," said Caldwell-Pope, the only Bulldog averaging double figures.
Texas A&M's Elston Turner just scorched Ole Miss for 37 points in an Aggies' win on Wednesday after Caldwell-Pope helped hold him to 2 of 14 shooting in the previous game.
Now Caldwell-Pope will try to stop Henderson.
"He's a great shooter, a great player," Caldwell-Pope said. "We've just got to do a number on him."
Georgia at Ole Miss
When: 8 p.m. today
Where: Tad Smith Coliseum, Oxford, Miss.
Radio: WRFC 960-AM.
Records: Ole Miss is 18-6, 7-4 SEC; Georgia is 12-12, 6-5 SEC.
Season at a glance: Georgia looks to bounce back from its first loss since Jan. 23. The Bulldogs fell to Alabama 52-45 on Tuesday night. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (22 points) and Nemanja Djurisic (12 points) accounted for all but 11 of Georgia's points. Ole Miss started 6-0 in SEC play for first time in school history, was 17-2 overall and ranked as high as No. 16 in the nation before losing four of its last five games. The Rebels, seeking their first NCAA tournament bid since 2002, were beaten by Texas A&M 69-67 on Wednesday night in College Station. Ole Miss is tied for fourth in the SEC, a game ahead of sixth-place Georgia and Arkansas.
Probable starting lineups:
Georgia: G Vincent Williams (6-0, 165, Sr., 5.0 ppg, 2.1 apg); G Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (6-5, 205, So., 17.7 ppg, 6.4 rpg ); F: Brandon Morris (6-7, 205, Fr., 4.0 ppg, 2.0 rpg); F Donte' Williams (6-9, 225, Jr., 5.2 ppg, 4.7 rpg); C John Florveus (6-11, 240, Sr., 2.4 ppg, 3.4 rpg).
Ole Miss: G Jarvis Summers (6-3, 184, So., 8.9 ppg. 3.8 apg); G Marshall Henderson (6-2, 175, Jr., 19.5 ppg, 3.3 rpg); G LaDarius White (6-6, 210, So., 6.0 ppg, 2.3 rpg); F Reginald Buckner (6-9, 235, So, 9.8 ppg, 7.9 rpg.); F Murphy Holloway (6-7, 240, Sr., 14.5 ppg, 9.5 rpg).
Series record: Georgia leads 66-40, but the Rebels hold a 25-21 edge in Oxford. Ole Miss has won six of the last nine
Last meeting: Ole Miss won 66-63 on Jan. 21, 2012, in Athens in the team's only meeting last season. Caldwell-Pope scored 25 for Georgia, which trailed by 14 in the second-half before rallying to within two in the final minute.
Noteworthy: Georgia has won three consecutive road games. It plays its next game also on the road at Arkansas on Thursday. Ole Miss is 12-1 at home. Its only home loss was an 87-74 setback to Kentucky on Jan. 29. "This is a big challenge because they've been good at home and they've got a good team," Georgia coach Mark Fox said. ... Holloway is Ole Miss' career leader in rebounds and is the active leader in the SEC. He is tied for the league lead this season with Kentucky's Nerlens Noel. Buckner is sixth. ... Georgia is third in the SEC in field goal percentage defense (39.1) while Ole Miss is seventh (40.6). ... Ole Miss is second in the SEC in blocked shots at 5.5 per game. ... Summers is 19th in the nation in assist/turnover ratio at 2.62. ... The Rebels have two of the top nine scorers in the league in top scorer Henderson and Holloway, who is ninth. ... Despite its recent slide, Ole Miss is projected as a No. 9 seed for the NCAA tournament by CBSSports.com's Jerry Palm.

The grim tone comes as no real surprise, though, since Allen's inspiration here is Tennessee Williams' classic play "A Streetcar Named Desire." Thus his title character, played by Cate Blanchett, experiences a decline that parallels the deterioration of Williams' doomed heroine Blanche DuBois.
Unfortunately, despite a bravura performance by Blanchett, "Blue Jasmine" misfires by trying to derive most of its humor from Jasmine's mental illness -- anything but a laughing matter.
In a story that might have been ripped from the headlines, Jasmine is a Park Avenue socialite fallen on hard times. She had no idea her high-rolling financier husband, Hal (Alec Baldwin), was both a philanderer and a fraud.
Hal's Ponzi-like scheme, which destroyed the fortunes of his investors, has landed him in prison and Jasmine on the street. Already delusional and an alcoholic, she suffers a nervous breakdown.
With nowhere to turn, Jasmine heads west for San Francisco, to move in with her sister Ginger (Sally Hawkins). It's a risky choice, as Ginger and her ex-husband, Augie (Andrew Dice Clay), invested in Hal's enterprise and lost their life savings, which in turn destroyed their marriage.
To Ginger's credit, she puts familial bonds above past hurts, and shelters Jasmine. But Jasmine's gratitude quickly turns to disgust. She's repelled by Ginger's middle-class lifestyle and, especially, by her beefy mechanic boyfriend, Chili (Bobby Cannavale).
As she descends into madness on a diet of vodka and Xanax, Jasmine strikes out in all directions. She makes a stab at self-improvement, taking a receptionist job and computer classes. She also decides to remake Ginger's seemingly happy life, encouraging her to dump Chili and seek a "better" match in respectable salesman Al (Louis C.K.) -- with disastrous results.
But Jasmine is not made for hard labor or study, only for shallow appearances. She finds a potential means of escape in Dwight (Peter Sarsgaard), a wealthy diplomat with political ambitions.
Jasmine puts on a good show, concealing her past while presenting herself as an ideal and sophisticated partner. She comes close to pulling it off.
In the end, "Blue Jasmine" plays the selfish card. It's every character for him- or herself, seemingly without concern for the welfare of others, least of all Jasmine.
The film contains cohabitation, implied nonmarital sexual activity, an adultery theme and much profane and crude language. The Catholic News Service classification is L -- limited adult audience, films whose problematic content many adults would find troubling. The Motion Picture Association of America rating is PG-13 -- parents strongly cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13.

AMHERST, Mass. (Dec. 4)
A Jewish lawyer who fled Germany before World War II contended here that many of the same factors that led to the rise of the Nazis in the land of his birth are present in America today. According to Arno Herzberg, 65, of Union, N.J., who practices law and is an expert on revenue legislation, those factors include inflation, powerful industries and powerful labor unions.
Herzberg, who was manager of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency's Berlin office from 1934-38, addressed students at Hampshire College who have organized a course on the Holocaust. He was joined by two other former German Jews, Rudy Blatt, a fashion designer, and Kurt Enoch, a publishing consultant, who reflected on conditions in Germany during the '20s and '30s.
Herzberg said inflation was a destructive element that wiped out the German middle class in the decade before the war and may wipe out the middle class in America. "in the America of 1972, as in the Germany of those years, large corporations and unions are becoming so powerful that it may become impossible for a democracy to govern them," he warned.
He explained that democracy was menaced in Germany because of the activities of big industry which sided with Hitler in an attempt to cripple the unions, and the activities of large unions which through repeated strikes disrupted the economy and inadvertently aided the Nazis.
Blatt said another factor leading to the holocaust was the complacency and timidity of German Jews while Hitler was gaining power. He noted that German Jews held positions of influence in publishing, business, science and the arts far out of proportion to their numbers but were afraid to exercise power against the Nazis. "Even as Hitler gained power, German Jews only watched. Rabbis were pious old men with whom it was out of taste to talk about anything in the real world," he said.
But Enoch, 77, disagreed that Jews deliberately blinded themselves to events. "There were many like myself who did not believe the threats of the Nazis. We were hoping that the regime would not last. But the depression which had begun on Wall Street and spread around the globe had so damaged the German economy that the Nazis were entrenched." Enoch and Herzberg contended that the Western democracies contributed to the suffering by their failure to issue visas and provide transport which could have saved many lives.

20 artists paint Stony Creek Sunday to raise Lyme disease awareness
Published 12:00 am, Thursday, July 9, 2009
BRANFORD -- A few years ago, Madison artist Kimberly Ruggiero was so debilitated by the effects of Lyme disease that she couldn't even get out of bed, never mind paint.
Sunday, Ruggiero, her life returned to her by her persistence in getting the right diagnosis and treatment, will be part of Wet Paint Silent Auction, a plein-aire all-day paint-a-thon, hosted by Stony Creek Gallery owner Susan Strickland, also a Lyme disease sufferer.
The fruits of the day of painting (9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.) around the picturesque Stony Creek area of town will be auctioned off, paint still wet, at a reception (admission $5) at the 152 Thimble Islands Road gallery to raise money for Lyme disease research, specifically the work of University of New Haven biologist and Lyme disease sufferer Eva Sapi, a pioneer in the effects of the borrelia bacteria on the disease.
Twenty artists, including Branford's Robert Reynolds, Margaret Dean, Hannah Baldwin, Molly McDonald and Maureen Wilkenson, Clinton's Jan Blencowe and many Connecticut artists who exhibit at Stony Creek Gallery and at Ruggiero's now-closed Madison gallery, are scheduled to participate.
"I got to be friendly with Kim, and we both have had Lyme disease, and we thought it would be great to do a plein-aire silent-auction fundraiser," says Strickland, whose experience with the disease was not as harrowing as Ruggiero's chronic Lyme disease, but just as painful.
"It was two years ago, and it was terrible. I was dizzy and had a fever and my joints ached. I thought I had MS," says Strickland, who tried acupuncture before she was eventually diagnosed and treated with dioxicillin.
Ruggiero is on a mission to educate the public about the disease, its diagnosis and treatment, which, as her story relates, is often complicated.
"I had to abandon the mainstream medical community to get treatment," she says, noting that in her quest, she saw "a primary-care physician, a rheumatologist, two neurologists, a cardiologist, urologist and gynecologist."
It started with sore joints and escalated to slurred speech and cognitive problems that an early doctor attributed to a spider bite in 2001.
"I had recurrent flu-like symptoms and migraines that would come and go," she says. Eventually, "every body system was affected," the symptoms so severe that, "I literally didn't think I was going to live. I told my husband I wasn't going to make it.
"If treated right away, it can be benign," says Ruggiero, who still maintains a gallery in Stamford at the Connecticut Antiques Center. "If not, it can languish. I had three negative tests."
The National Center for Infectious Diseases of the Centers for Disease Control sets the guidelines for what is a positive test, and therefore insurable. It was those negative tests that cast Ruggiero outside the mainstream medical community seeking answers.
"If you don't meet the guidelines, you're not considered a positive," says Ruggiero.
Because Ruggiero didn't exhibit some classic symptoms, such as the bull's-eye rash, Bell's palsy or swollen knees, and had three negative tests, her cadre of physicians was convinced that it wasn't Lyme.
The CDC believes Lyme disease is easy to treat with antibiotics, says Ruggiero. Sapi's research suggests otherwise.
In studying the borrelia bacteria, transmitted by ticks and said to be the causative agent of Lyme disease, Sapi found it creates a "biofilm" or secretion which makes the bacterium resistant to antibiotics.
Ruggiero says, "I felt like I fell into a hell, into a parallel universe."
That universe was the netherland of what can be a chronic disease that is not readily recognized as such, not unlike fibromyalgia.
Ruggiero finally got a CDC-positive test and took it to infectious disease practitioner, Dr. Steven Phillips of Wilton, who became a Lyme specialist when his own father was diagnosed.
"I was put on IV and oral antibiotics for nine months. I'm still on oral," says Ruggiero, who says the effects were dramatic.
Ruggiero says she doesn't want to castigate the whole medical community, but she makes it clear that she feels that the relationships some doctors have with insurance companies have made them resistant to long-term protocols.
"Some of the doctors writing those guidelines for Lyme are sitting on the boards of insurance companies," said Ruggiero. "We can't just say there's no such thing as chronic Lyme disease, because it's ridiculous in light of this new research."
Sapi will give a talk on her research at 3:30 p.m. at Willoughby Wallace Library, 146 Thimble Islands Road, before the gallery reception. There will be maps of the painting locations, for those who want to watch the artists in action. The unsold paintings will go on exhibit at the gallery or at UNH.
"The event should be fun for the community, helpful for the artists and Eva," says Ruggiero, who hopes it also might help people learn more about Lyme disease.
Note: Andy Abraham Wilson's well-reviewed documentary chronicling the plight of chronic Lyme disease sufferers, "Under Our Skin" (Open Eye Pictures) opens around the country this month. It's at Real Art Ways, 56 Arbor St., Hartford, Friday through Wednesday, with Wilson in a talkback after the 7 p.m. Tuesday screening; call for times: (860) 232-1006).
