"None of us realized the potency yet of this medium -- how many homes it was going to, what kind of affect it was having on people and so forth. I think everybody who works in the visual medium would love to have that kind of innocence again."
--Arthur Penn
Among the many converging currents revealed in and explored by the Rotterdam Film Festival's newly inaugurated sidebar Changing Channels was the tendency of big screen directors to have a go at small screen auteurism. The progenitors of this trend are usually identified in directors such as David Lynch in America ("Twin Peaks"), Lars von Trier ("The Kingdom") and Rainer Werner Fassbinder before him ("Berlin Alexanderplatz") in Europe. Unacknowledged in this genealogical effort are luminaries of post-war American cinema like Robert Altman, Arthur Penn, Sam Peckinpah, Sidney Lumet and others who actually cut their sharp teeth in television before landing on the big screen.

With their daily lives usually marked by short-term flexibility and an uncertain future, contemporary audiences seem to appreciate the solid and long-term narratives of TV series. As existential linearity recedes on the horizon of our precarious lives, a serialized drama can provide a critical compendium on the dynamics of a struggling society -- think of "Breaking Bad," with its deconstruction of the American family and its ethical and financial unsustainability. And this goes well beyond the American frontiers, with quality TV setting up outposts in country as diverse and distant from each other as France and Japan, Chile and Czech Republic, as the Rotterdam program revealed.

The Rotterdam sidebar was organized in three subsections that illustrated both emerging and established trends as well as the different productive regimes behind them. A "Web Lounge" -- designed and built by Dutch-American artist Summer Wood -- sitting in the foyer of one of the festival venues offered non-stop web series. Three distinct "TV Nights" screened assorted works in double bills, usually walking the blurring line between TV and web, while a more "conventional" "Series and Marathons" was dedicated to the partial or complete screening of shows made for television. Far from being three separate and compartmentalized sections, their hybrid content was indicative of the ongoing exchange between different formats and platforms.
Unsurprisingly, web series were home to millennial' anxieties and circular existentialisms. Pained by the (hopefully) terminal stages of western individualism, the vast majority of internet creativity on display at the web lounge was plagued by self-pitiful characters. Caught in the irrelevance of lives of pathetic privilege, effected by social media syndromes and malfunctioning social lives, the characters-cum-creators of web series find in irony their ultimate shield and straightjacket. "Broad City," "The Misadventures of an Awkward Black Girl," "The Slope" and "I Hate Being Single" are all underpinned by the abovementioned, unimaginative predicament: middle class, creative types with no or unpaid jobs, living a life of unrelenting indeterminacy yet not even remotely intent on finding a meaning or purpose, wallow in their hip misery.

I worked at Mac-Gray full-time for more than a year
Pros – - Low-stress work environment. A pleasant place to work with nice people.
- Some departments offer the ability to gain varied experience; a great foundation/stepping stone to other opportunities
- Flexible schedules and very generous paid time off opportunities. Perks like Summer Fridays.
- Industry leader in laundry constantly making improvements to its service offering
Cons – - Professional advancement is important to me, and was something I emphasized upon hire. As I excelled at my position and positions above me opened up, it was disheartening to see that in spite of the fact that I was told Mac-Gray hires from the inside, they absolutely prefer bringing in new hires from outside. It's discouraging and encourages high turnover
- In conjunction with the above, formal annual review process is in place, but seems to be just for show. A good review does not translate to higher monetary compensation (there is a "standard annual raise") or improved opportunities. Mac-Gray does not take employee development seriously.
- While some benefits (time off) are impressive, pay is very low and healthcare could use improvement.
- Has a very large, corporate feel to it. Innovation is not encouraged in departments other than R&D. The corporate structure has a very slow and bloated feel to it, minimizing adaptability and creativity.
- Company technology (computers/software) are slow and outdated, contributing to major inefficiency and frustration.
- Service department needs improvement for the rest of the company to function effectively.
Advice to Senior Management – - To avoid turnover it is so important to value your top employees and move them forward. I have seen promising hires leave much to the shock of management, and I can't understand their surprise. No one compensated the top employees for their hard work; their exit was inevitable. Please take annual reviews seriously and structure in monetary incentives that seriously reward hard work. Good hires are hard to come by; value them.
- Throw out all of your computers and buy new ones. The technology is painfully outdated.
- Human Resources needs improvement. Training is great but compensation, benefits, and a culture created by HR are sub-par.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

It's time to appreciate Bill Snyder's career at Kansas State; Mailbag
Story Highlights
Despite never winning national title, Bill Snyder's career at K-State is remarkable
The NFL replacement ref fiasco is far more egregious than any BCS-related errors
Plus: Manti Te'o's Heisman hopes, the state of LSU passers, a reader video, more
|The Mandel Initiative Podcast
|Stewart and Mallory discuss the big wins for Notre Dame, Florida State and Kansas State. Oregon State beat writer Lindsay Schnell joins the show to analyze the surprising Beavers.
Late Saturday night in the Oklahoma press box, while writing my postgame column on Kansas State's win, I went to Bill Snyder's Wikipedia page and noticed something that probably hadn't been there an hour earlier. Someone had added a new title to his name.
Most informed college football fans would readily agree Snyder is one of the sport's all-time great coaches, and yet you could go months without hearing his name. Then his Wildcats go and upset Oklahoma, and we all slap ourselves and go through another round of ... this.
Stewart -- I am fascinated by the job Bill Snyder has done at Kansas State. Is he as good as he seems, and if so, why does he fly so far under the radar as far as top coaches go? With what appears to be a weak recruiting base, he built the program to a premier level, retired, watched it crumble, then rebuilt it again in short order back to a top 10 national ranking.
-- Bob Karcher, Austin
To appreciate just how incredible Snyder's career has been, consider this: Snyder's winning percentage in 21 seasons at Kansas State is .659. The program's winning percentage in its other 92 seasons of football is .357. Even with its modern success, K-State's all-time winning percentage (.439) is lower than all but three BCS programs (Northwestern, Indiana and Wake Forest). Try to imagine current Indiana coach Kevin Wilson, who went 1-11 in his first season (much like Snyder went 1-10 in his debut campaign), eventually leading the Hoosiers to six 11-win seasons in seven years (as Snyder did from 1997-2003). That's how improbable Snyder's run would have seemed in 1989.
There are a number of reasons Snyder flies under the radar. For one thing, he's nondescript. When you think of the most celebrated coaches both past (Bear Bryant, Woody Hayes, Bo Schembechler) and present (Nick Saban, Urban Meyer, Chip Kelly), the majority of them have distinct personalities. They give memorable quotes. Even after 20-plus years on the sidelines, Snyder is mostly anonymous outside of Kansas (though we know he loves Pinocchio). Good luck getting him to say much more than "we've got to keep rowing the boat."
Snyder also isn't considered the guru or pioneer of a certain type of offense or defense. Few realize he was one of the first to employ his quarterback as a shotgun zone-read runner back in the late '90s, directly influencing future spread-option coaches like Meyer.
And then there's the one glaring omission from his résumé: a national title. I would contend that winning 10-plus games a year at Kansas State is more remarkable than winning a national title at an established powerhouse, but the general public wants trophies. Bobby Bowden turned Florida State from an also-ran into a preeminent program, but he wasn't truly lauded until winning his first title after 18 years at the school. Nebraska's Tom Osborne "couldn't win the big one" right up until he won three in a four-year span just before retiring. It's a lofty standard, especially given the subjective nature of college football's national championship, but it's reality.
Few expect this year's K-State team to contend for the top prize. But it could very well win the Big 12, which would be quite a feat given the context. Remember, the Wildcats had started to slip in the two years before Snyder retired in 2005 (going 4-7 and 5-6, respectively). Like many, I was skeptical of K-State's decision to bring him back in 2009 at age 69. Obviously I was wrong. Snyder's methods are timeless. Hopefully one day they'll be appropriately appreciated.
Barring a complete meltdown in college football, the Sooners are once again out of the national title picture. It's been 12 years since they won a national title and four years since they played for one. In the meantime, Saban has won three and Meyer has won two. Is it time to pull the plug on Bob Stoops and back a dump truck full of money to Jim Harbaugh's house yet? I know Stoops has averaged 10 wins a season and run a "clean program," etc. I frankly don't care. He's only won one national title and that isn't good enough for Oklahoma, nor should it be.
-- Kevin Lessard, Wellington, New Zealand
Hang on. I need a second to process which part of this e-mail is more delusional: the notion that Oklahoma should fire Bob Stoops or Kevin's apparent belief that Harbaugh would voluntarily leave his gig as the coach of a Super Bowl contender to come to the Big 12. Amazingly, it's probably the second part, which is saying something, because the first part is pretty absurd, too. Stoops has won 80 percent of his games in 14 seasons, but you're right -- he's only played for four national titles. What a loser.
I'm not saying everything's peachy in Norman these days. Having attended last week's game, there's definitely something "off" about that program right now. Yes, it lost a lot of key players from last season, but it's more that the Sooners' swagger is gone. Kansas State beat Oklahoma on its own field and no one there seemed particularly surprised. In fact, one program insider flatly told me before the game, "I don't think we're very good this year." Even Barry Switzer thinks these Sooners "just don't have the talent."
But given Stoops' substantial track record, I wouldn't count out his team after one conference game. It's not like the Wildcats dominated the contest; it was all but decided by three brutal turnovers. Mike Stoops' defense did a nice job containing Collin Klein prior to two fourth-quarter touchdown drives. Landry Jones obviously has his limitations, but the offense has some nice young players, like freshman receiver Sterling Shepard, that will only get better as the season goes along.
This may just be a transition year before the Sooners really take back off in 2013. And given all realistic options, I'd gladly take Stoops coaching that team.
For those people that think our BCS family is the only dysfunctional family on the block, have you met our new neighbors, the NFL Replacement Refs? How would you compare the most egregious BCS errors to what's happening in the NFL right now?
-- Trevor Kuhn, Portland, Ore.
It's not even close. The NFL's officiating crisis has poisoned that league's credibility so badly it makes every controversy in BCS history seem like little bug bites by comparison. You may not like the inherent subjectivity of college football's national championship, and you may disagree with various results the pollsters or the computers have spit out over the years. But at the end of the day, no one is questioning the legitimacy of the actual on-field results. You may not agree with the established rules that govern the BCS, but those rules have at least been enforced correctly. The replacement refs are making procedural errors that directly affect the outcomes of games (and, in turn, teams' Super Bowl chances). Fans of the 2004 Auburn Tigers may disagree, but those gross injustices inflicted on NFL teams and their paying fans are far more inexcusable and avoidable than any BCS controversy.
Now, college football has not been without its own heinous officiating mistakes over the years. The Colorado-Missouri Fifth Down game was arguably a more egregious debacle than Monday night's Seahawks Fail Mary because it involved no degree of judgment whatsoever. The officials in that 1990 game flat out botched a basic procedure, and it wound up directly impacting not only the final score, but also the national championship race. The 2006 Oregon-Oklahoma onside kick replay fiasco was also pretty bad, though it wasn't the last play of the game. But one thing's for certain: The replacement refs have given everyone new cause to appreciate not only the regular NFL refs, but the top college officials as well. There are roughly 40 more FBS games than there are NFL games per week, yet there haven't been remotely as many game-changing errors so far this season as there have been through the NFL's first three weeks.

capircvd is a voice/fax gateway. It receives fax (G3) and voice-calls using an ISDN-Bus, an AVM ISDN-Card (active or passive) and CAPI20 from isdn4linux, or AVM. It can be used on either P2P (with DDI) or P2M S0-bus. After reception, it can process files (send as mail) using an external handler (included).
HylaFAX is a fax and paging system for Unix. It supports sending facsimile, receiving facsimile, polled retrieval of facsimile, transparent shared data use of the modem and sending alpha-numeric pages. The software is structured around a client-server architecture. Fax modems may reside on a single machine on a network and clients can submit outbound jobs from any machine that can communicate with the machine on which the modems reside. An access control mechanism is included to control which users on which machines may access a server.
The mgetty package contains an intelligent getty for allowing logins over a serial line (such as through a modem) and receiving incoming faxes. The companion program sendfax is used for sending faxes from the commandline or from other applications. The third main component is vgetty/vm which can be used with a voice-capable modem to implement an answering machine, a voice menu system, and similar things.
SffTools consists of SffToBmp, a little utility that converts Structured Fax Files to BMP, PBM, JPEG, or single- and multipage TIFF format, and SffView, a GUI viewer for those files. The tools should be especially useful to people who are faxing with ISDN cards because the CAPI interface of these cards generates such files. CAPI support for Linux is available for the active card AVM B1 and the passive card AVM Fritz!.
smbfax is a Unix server which allows you to print via Samba from a Windows client to a hylafax-controlled faxmodem on your server without any additional Win32 software for the client. It's as easy as File->Print from an application, choose the network fax printer, then check your email's INBOX. You can also view and delete jobs via the standard Windows methods.
TkUsr is a small program that allows you to manage the Self-mode of USR/3Com Message/Professional modems. You can use it to retrieve voice messages and faxes. It features smart retrieving with a cache system, so you do not have to download the whole memory when you only want a single fax.
VOCP is a complete messaging solution for voice modems, with voicemail, fax, email pager, DTMF command shell and Text-to-Speech support, 4 graphical interfaces, and a Web interface. Callers navigate the system using a touch-tone phone and may send and receive faxes, voice mail, and pager messages, listen to text/HTML email messages, or execute configured programs on the host and hear the resulting output.
fax4CUPS is a very simple shell script that acts as a CUPS backend for a serial fax modem. Essentially, you print with lpr and the fax is sent. The nice thing is that you have CUPS around, and this means, for instance, that you can check whether your fax has been sent just using your favorite browser (as you would do for any other printer), even if the fax modem is really on a remote server. It supports efax, HylaFAX, mgetty-fax, and Capisuite.

2002–2003 McNair Scholars from St. Edward's University celebrate recent accomplishments
Named after Space Shuttle Challenger astronaut Ronald S. McNair, the national McNair Scholars program serves undergraduate students interested in pursuing doctoral degrees but who are in minority groups typically underrepresented in such programs. Many McNair Scholars are low-income students who are the first in their family to attend college. Accepted students receive guidance from a faculty mentor and participate in extraordinary research projects at universities across the country.
Selected McNair Scholars from St. Edward's University, Clark Atlanta University, Xavier University and St. Mary's University come together on the University of Notre Dame campus each summer to participate in research guided by accomplished Notre Dame professors. Students present their graduate-level work at an end-of-summer symposium and at the national McNair Scholars conference.
Founded by the Congregation of Holy Cross, St. Edward's University has been named one of America's Best Colleges for 2004 by U.S. News & World Report. St. Edward's is a private, Catholic, liberal arts university of approximately 4,450 students located in Austin, Texas.

"American Tapestry," New York Times reporter Rachel L. Swarns explores the family history of Michelle Obama and discovers that the first lady's roots are entwined with those of white slave-owners in 19th-century Georgia. The revelation has sparked a discussion about people and power and shows that while some want to celebrate the distant connections between blacks and whites, plenty more are still uncomfortable and angry about racial issues in America.
Related: When it comes to politics, are we more racist than we think?
"My family, well, they were just your most basic people who never had a lot. I never imagined they owned slaves," Joan Tribble, 69, told Swarns. Her great-great grandfather, Henry Wells Shield, owned a 200-acre farm near Rex, Georgia. He also owned Obama's great-great-great-grandmother, Melvinia Shields, who came to his farm as an 8-year-old slave -- torn from her parents, valued at $475 after her owner died -- in 1852.
Swarns' book, an excerpt of which ran recently in The New York Times, is a work of history, not a biography or an account of life in the White House. "I started with Mrs. Obama's four grandparents and followed their family lines as far back as I could," she writes on her website. "At least one of the First Lady's white ancestors is believed to have fought in the Revolutionary War; other mixed-race ancestors appear in documents that date back to the mid-1800s. I traced their lives in the South during the 19th century and their migration to Chicago in the early 20th century."
Related: Michelle Obama speaks to grads at Oregon State
According to Swarns' research, Melvinia was a young teenager when she gave birth to her son Dolphus T. Shields around 1860. DNA testing shows that Henry Wells Shields' son Charles Marion Shields, then 20, was most probably Dolphus' father.
A new book traces Michelle Obama's heritage.Photos of Dolphus Shields published in the New York Times show a light-skinned man with Caucasian features. He looks remarkably similar to a man in another photo -- McClellan Charles Shields, another one of Charles Sheilds' sons. When Tribble saw Dolphus Shields' picture for the first time, "I just thought, 'Well, he [Dolphus] looks like somebody who could be in my family,' Tribble told Swarns.
People are divided as to the nature of Charles' and Melvinia's relationship. While some of Shields' descendants told Swarns that they hoped it was a happy one -- "To me, it's an obvious love story that was hard for the South to accept back then," Aliene Shields, who is white, said -- others have pointed out that a slave wouldn't have the option of turning down unwanted advances from her master's son.
"The shame of slavery for black people is that we were property to be worked to death, raped and sold by the white people who owned us," commenter "astewart" from Brooklyn, N.Y., wrote at the New York Times. "Our children were not 'bi-racial' and our daughters were put on the auction block to breed like cattle."
Swarns did not interview Mrs. Obama for her project (a spokeswoman from the first lady's office told Yahoo! Shine that Mrs. Obama had no comment), though she did interview several of her relatives. She also relied on DNA testing to tell the parts of the story that traditional genealogical data couldn't. Still, in spite of having spent two years researching the book and more time writing it, some people are certain that Obama's ancestry is part of a political ploy, in spite of the fact that the first lady is not an elected official and Obama's bi-racial back story has been well known for years.
"I quickly dismiss this as 'election-time' verbiage employed to entice white people to feel a 'kinship' to a black president as a ploy to secure more votes," wrote BlancaM, a New York Times reader from Houston, Texas.
But Swarns says that politics isn't the point of her book.
"I hope that the book will encourage people to talk more openly about slavery and how that wrenching period of American history still reverberates in this country, shaping countless contemporary family lines, whether black, white or in-between," she writes on her website. "What I loved most about Mrs. Obama's ancestors is that they were ordinary people who loved, struggled, strived and found their way forward under enormously difficult circumstances. Many of us share those kinds of stories. We only have to start digging to find them."
Most African Americans whose families have been in the United States for generations have at least some Caucasian ancestry, so the fact that the first lady does, too, shouldn't come as a surprise. What's surprising, though, is that so many people are so uncomfortable about it. Are detractors uneasy because slavery is tough to talk about? Or is it simply harder to justify hatred once you know you have something in common?

Pew is no longer active in this line of work, but for more information visit the Pandemic Planning Project on PewHealth.org
Every winter, the U.S. suffers a seasonal flu that kills approximately 36,000 Americans and hospitalizes more than 200,000. Terrible as that is, health experts are now warning about a far more lethal kind of flu – a pandemic flu that could kill over half a million Americans, hospitalize more than two million, cost our economy billions in lost productivity and direct medical expenses, and impact virtually every community.
Public health authorities are particularly concerned about the H5N1 avian "bird flu" virus that could mutate into a new strain of flu against which humans would have no immunity. The federal government has warned that such a bird flu pandemic could infect 30 percent of the U.S. population.No one can accurately predict when the next influenza pandemic will occur or how severe it will be. What is known is that a flu pandemic occurs three to four times every century when a new influenza virus emerges. Pandemic flu spreads easily from person-to-person, may cause serious illness, and can sweep across the country and around the world in a very short time. A pandemic may come and go in waves, each of which might last for six to eight weeks.If a severe pandemic were to hit the U.S., life as we know it could be seriously disrupted.

Top Brother Printer Models
The term "brother" describes an unbreakable, familial bond. While the term can refer to a male sibling, it's also used to describe a very close friend who is held in high esteem and trustworthiness. In either case, the word represents deep undertones of unity and loyalty. Brother . . . it's an appropriate name for a company that prides itself on manufacturing high quality and reliable printing equipment that can be counted on to keep your business running smoothly.
But all strong relationships are a two-way street. While your Brother printer may provide quality prints, it also needs to be periodically refilled with quality ink. This is when your other brother, SuperMediaStore, steps in to help. We carry Brother ink cartridges for many of their most popular models including the MFC Series, DCP Series, Fax Series, Intellifax Series, and many more. Most of our Brother ink is available as original, compatible, and remanufactured cartridges.
As is the case with everything on our site, all of our Brother ink is backed up our 100% satisfaction guarantee!

Relief from littering?
We were excited to move to Johnston County eight years ago with plans for retirement. Had we known the county was a virtual trash heap, we would have chosen differently.
We live off of Josephine Road, which is covered in roadside trash from Cornwallis Road to Cleveland Road, because Johnston County citizens who use the road as a cut-through to the county dump don't secure their trash, and it blows everywhere. But this area is not the only eyesore. All over Johnston County, the trash on the roads is disgusting and unsightly.
My husband and I, along with concerned neighbors, went to the Johnston County Land Use Office in Smithfield several years ago to complain. We were told there were no plans to address the issue except to post a sign at the dump to please not litter. No signs could be posted assessing fines for littering, etc.
When we called County Commissioners, they gave us a number to call to report litterers. They said county prisoners could not be used to pick up trash on side roads, only on Interstate 40. A group of girl scouts picked up the trash on Josephine Road, and we were grateful for their efforts. But by the next weekend, you couldn't tell anything had been done.
Recently, while I watched, two people who looked like county employees picked up trash on Josephine Road for maybe 15 minutes. But most of the time, they just stood around and talked to each other and left with absolutely no positive results.
It is embarrassing to have visitors because of this unsightly situation. We have traveled North Carolina from one end to the other, and without exception, Johnston County is the trashiest we have come across. South Carolina has billboards stating "Our State Is NOT a Trashcan." Signs with fines for littering are prevalent throughout South Carolina.
I urge every Johnston County resident who is also concerned with this awful blight to contact the Land Use Office, Johnston County Commissioners and any other county officials who might give us some relief from this unsightly and nasty situation in the county we call home.

Kingsport's Riverfront Seafood Co. offers fish, more in scenic setting
On a recent sunny Saturday afternoon, I traveled with my parents and a friend to Kingsport.
Our destination was the Riverfront Seafood Company on the banks of the Holston River along Netherland Inn Road. We were there for two reasons. First, we intended to enjoy a seafood meal. Second, I wanted to give my parents the opportunity to see an out-of-range duck that has been residing on the river behind the restaurant since January.
Once we arrived, we scanned the river with binoculars and quickly located the Harlequin Duck. The female duck has been dubbed "Harley" by local birdwatchers. This duck's nesting habitat is cold, fast-moving streams in the northwestern and northeastern parts of North America, as well as Greenland, Iceland and western Russia.
For this particular Harlequin Duck to now be spending its third month in Kingsport is not typical of this species. Only one other Harlequin Duck — a male observed in 2000 near Holston Dam in Bristol — has been found in the region.
After we all enjoyed good looks at this rare bird, we made our way into the restaurant to celebrate the occasion.
The history of the establishment dates back to 1991 when Wayne and Angie Michelli, and their daughter, Ashley, opened a seafood market, deli and bait shop along the Holston River in Kingsport. The family opened Riverfront Seafood Company in 2002 at its current location on Netherland Inn Road.
With warmer weather, many diners will probably choose to enjoy their meals on a deck overlooking the Holston River. We dined inside the restaurant, but near the large, spacious windows offering scenic views of the river. The remainder of the restaurant's decor consists of various maritime and nautical accents. Seating is available at tables in several divided dining rooms.
The listing of possible meal-starters looked too tempting to pass up. A sampling of our options included New Orleans BBQ Shrimp Pizza, Thai Chili Shrimp, Fried Pickles, Onion Rings, Peel-and-Eat Shrimp, Crab Cakes, Buffalo Oysters, Smoked Salmon Spread and Shrimp Cocktail.
We chose to share the Smoked Salmon Spread, which was served with flatbread and crackers. The creamy, smoky-flavored spread tasted great on the flatbread. Divided among the members of our dining party, this spread was also quite enjoyable without being too filling.
Once we finished the flavorful Smoked Salmon Spread, we focused on choosing our entrees. Selections include appetizers, soups and salads, steaks, stuffed seafood, crab legs and Maine lobster, as well as a variety of grilled and fried seafood favorites.
The fresh catches which were spotlighted on the restaurant's daily specials included Gulf Grouper, Atlantic Flounder, New Zealand Orange Roughy and Trout Almandine. Other daily specials included Shrimp Creole and Fish Tacos.
The restaurant also offers platters of fried seafood, including Jumbo Gulf Shrimp, Popcorn Shrimp, Fresh Gulf Oysters, Farm-raised Fried Catfish, Sea Scallops, Clam Strips, Crab Cakes and Alaskan Whitefish.
Other tempting entrees included the Coconut Shrimp with Orange Marmalade Sauce, the Captain's Platter — featuring Oysters, Jumbo Shrimp, Whitefish, Sea Scallops and Clams, and the Louisiana Tilapia with Crabmeat Reduction Sauce.
I chose the Stuffed Tilapia as my main course, although I considered such entrees as Shrimp Scampi and the Riverfront Combo Platter, which features both Popcorn Shrimp and Whitefish. The Swordfish Sandwich was also tempting.
My friend chose the Orange Roughy. All the "Fresh Catch" selections can be prepared with a variety of seasonings, including Lemon Herb, Cajun, Herbes de Provence and Ginger Teriyaki Seasoning. Grilled selections can also be blackened for a slight extra charge. My friend chose to have the Orange Roughy filet prepared with Herbes de Provence, a traditional herb mix combining herbs commonly used in the Provence region of France, which typically contains rosemary, savory, fennel, basil, thyme, lavender leaves and other herbs.
My mother and father ordered the Fried Popcorn Shrimp and Captain's Platter, respectively.
An equally wide range of sides dishes are available to accompany most of the meals, including Fried Corn On The Cob, Cole Slaw, Steamed Broccoli, French Fries, Macaroni and Cheese, Wild Rice, Pasta Alfredo, Baked Potato, Pasta Marinara and Loaded Baked Potato.
My meal came with the addition of a choice of Soup of the Day, Gumbo or Salad and Baguettes. I chose the Gumbo, which arrived ahead of the rest of the meal. I enjoyed the zesty Gumbo, which consisted of a tomato base filled with sausage, corn and other tidbits.
My parents got salads with their meals. The salads consisted of mixed greens, shaved carrots, red onion, cucumber slices and shredded cheese.
Each meal was also served with a cornbread muffin baked in the shape of a fish.
I immensely enjoyed the Stuffed Tilapia. This mild fish was stuffed with Riverfront's own tasty Crabmeat and Shrimp Stuffing. This dish was also served with toasted baguettes.
My friend liked his firm and flaky Orange Roughy, including the subtle seasoning of Herbes de Provence. He also enjoyed the rich and flavorful Pasta Alfredo as his side dish with the fish.
My parents also liked their fried seafood. Both ended up taking some of their food home to enjoy later.
If at all possible, make sure to save room for one of the restaurant's fantastic desserts, including Bill's Blackberry Cake, Key Lime Pie, Vanilla Bean Ice Cream and Bread Pudding.
My friend and I, along with my dad, chose to share the Bread Pudding. This moist, rich dessert was enhanced by a buttery, rum-caramel sauce. Shared among three diners, we made short work of this delectable treat.
I enjoyed one other aspect of the meal. Beverages — coffee, soft drinks and tea — are complimentary with any meal. In addition, diners can switch their beverage for the dessert course with no extra cost.
The next time you are in mind for some fresh seafood, I recommend a visit to Riverfront Seafood Company.
Incidentally, Harley the Harlequin Duck is still lingering on the river behind the restaurant. She may get the urge to fly north any day. So, if you'd like to see her, you may want to plan a trip to Riverfront Seafood Company as soon as possible.
AT A GLANCE: Riverfront Seafood Company, 1777 Netherland Inn Road, Kingsport. 245-3474. Open Monday-Saturday, 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Hours expand during the warmer months. Entrees range from $8-$26.99. Credit cards accepted. Carryout available. Full service bar available.

Hemorrhoids are painful, swollen veins in the lower portion of the rectum or anus.
Rectal lump; Piles; Lump in the rectum
Hemorrhoids are very common, especially during pregnancy and after childbirth. They result from increased pressure in the veins of the anus. The pressure causes the veins to swell, making them painful, particularly when you are sitting.
The most common cause is straining during bowel movements.
Hemorrhoids may be caused by:
Hemorrhoids may be inside or outside the body.
Symptoms of hemorrhoids include:
A doctor can often diagnose hemorrhoids simply by examining the rectal area. If necessary, tests that may help diagnose the problem include:
Treatments for hemorrhoids include:
Witch hazel (applied with cotton swabs) can reduce itching. Other steps to reduce this itching include:
Sitz baths can help you to feel better. Sit in warm water for 10 to 15 minutes.
If your hemorrhoids do not get better with home treatments, you may need a type of heat treatment to shrink the hemorrhoids. This is called infrared coagulation. This may help avoid surgery.
Surgery that may be done to treat hemorrhoids includes rubber band ligation or surgical hemorrhoidectomy
. These procedures are generally used for patients with severe pain or bleeding who have not responded to other therapy.
The blood in the swollen vein may form clots
, and the surrounding tissue can die. Surgery is often needed to remove hemorrhoids with clots.
Severe bleeding may also occur. Iron deficiency anemia
can result from long-term blood loss. Significant bleeding from hemorrhoids is unusual, however.
Call for your health care provider if hemorrhoid symptoms do not improve with home treatment. You should also be seen if you have rectal bleeding. Your provider may want to check for other, more serious causes of the bleeding.
Call 911 if you lose a lot of blood, or if you are bleeding and feel dizzy, lightheaded, or faint.
Constipation and straining during bowel movements raise your risk for hemorrhoids. To prevent constipation and hemorrhoids, you should:

Penn State vs. Illinois Pick
The non-conference schedule has been brutal for the Big Ten. The Big Ten has been the media's punching bad, and for good reason, all through the first four weeks of the season. This is the week where the Big Ten starts to play against each other. Someone has to get off to a hot start inside conference play. Penn State travels to Champaign to take on the Fighting Illini this Saturday.
Bill O'Brien has an extremely difficult job this year. The Penn State Nittany Lions offseason was the toughest any football program has gone through in years.

Our unique No-touch Blade Change Tool makes replacing the blade of our Rotary Cutter and Ruler Combo quick, easy, and most importantly, safe. Simply unscrew the blade carriage and remove the magnetic blade carriage with the old blade still in it. Holding the blade carriage, snap the old blade into the blade change tool without touching it and flip the blade change tool over. Then just slide the lid on the blade change tool to ready the new blade. Next, place the blade carriage over the new blade — the magnetic system will automatically snap the blade into place. After you place the blade carriage back into the Rotary Cutter and Ruler Combo, you're ready to cut. The No-touch Blade Change Tool comes with a total of five replacement blades. When you have switched out all of the fresh blades for used blades, the No-touch Blade Change Tool provides a safe way to dispose of your used blades.

The system is powered by Nvidia GPUs and thought to be one of the two fastest supercomputers in the world. It's capable of making 20,000 trillion calculations each second.
Headlines described the sighting of waves on Titan this week, but it's really still smooth sailing on the impressively deep lakes of the Earth-ish moon.
The HTC Titan II pushes the limit of just how big and capable a Windows smartphone can be. If it weren't for the lower-priced Nokia Lumia 900, the Titan II would be the greatest Windows Phone 7 handset to walk the earth.
Social-networking giant looking at the company's solar-powered high-altitude drones to deliver Internet access, according to TechCrunch.

The HTC Titan's big and beautiful design and impressive features make it one of the better Windows Phone offerings on AT&T.
If you haven't heard of Titan, it just might be the most underrated place on our block, galactically speaking. Crave's Eric Mack has been getting reacquainted with Saturn's largest moon.
Titan Arm, a prototype powered upper-body exoskeleton, has just won the 2013 James Dyson Award for design and engineering.
The Titan lives up to its name with a large 4.7-inch WVGA display. It has Windows Phone Mango, a 5-megapixel camera, and should be joining AT&T's lineup some time soon.

NEW YORK — A nutritional supplement may help ward off gestational diabetes in pregnant women, according to a new study.
The study, conducted by researchers at Italy's University of Messina and published in the journal Diabetes Care, found that pregnant women with family histories of Type 2 diabetes who received myo-inositol saw a significant reduction in the incidence of gestational diabetes, a condition that causes high blood sugar in some pregnant women.
A group of 220 women was split into two halves, one of which received the supplement with 200 micrograms of folic acid twice per day, and a placebo group that only received the folic acid.
Among those who received myo-inositol, the incidence of gestational diabetes was 6%, compared with 15.3% of those in the placebo group. The researchers concluded that the supplement may reduce the incidence of gestational diabetes in women with a family history of Type 2 diabetes while also possibly reducing the risk of delivering abnormally large babies, also known as macrosomia.
