The term for today is "filial piety," also known as filiopiety. The dictionary defines it as "relating to an excessive veneration of ancestors or tradition." As genealogists who spend a lot of time researching our forebears, it is very easy for us to fall into the trap of filial piety – in our thinking, in our writing, and in the way we evaluate evidence. Venerating one's ancestors has many gratifying aspects. It is, after all, biblically sanctioned, since the Old Testament is full of references to Abraham and the patriarchs. Moreover, our nineteenth and twentieth century forebears were fond of boasting when they compiled genealogies and obituaries or drafted sketches for inclusion in county histories.
Do these stories square with reality? A search of the deed records of Cass County, Michigan, for example, shows that Dempster only owned 120 acres, far less than the 300 boasted of in the history. False tradition, exposed! He did become a justice of the peace for a short time, but was never elected judge. Another falsehood exposed. His tombstone shows his death in 1852 at the age of 71, not 75. The account is filiopietistic, since the writer wanted the family to appear more elite than the historical record suggests. It was only natural for him to boast – everyone else was doing it.
When we go to write our own family histories, we need to be careful in several ways. First, we should not accept uncritically the information provided in a county history or obituary. We need to constantly evaluate each piece of evidence we uncover and compare it against other sources of information. And when we go to write, we have to be carefully that filial piety doesn't creep into our own writing. Our ancestors were people, just like us, with many of the same foibles and faults. The best genealogists don't try to hide behind such writing, but present all of the evidence, evaluating each source and judging its origin and quality.
The best genealogies are those that are fully documented and in which the evidence is carefully evaluated using the genealogical proof standard. When we find an article that is filiopietistic, the fact that it was written in such a manner is historically important. By all means cite and quote the source. But then deconstruct it, if possible, into smaller components and compare each boastful statement with other sources, especially those recorded at the time your ancestor lived. If we do this, we can keep filial piety in check. Our historical and genealogical writing will be all the better for doing so.

As part of The Genealogy Center's Celebrating Women's History Month, Melissa Shimkus is presenting "Finding Her: Our Female Ancestor," on Thursday, March 13th, 2:00pm to 3:00pm, in Meeting Room A. She will discuss how our female ancestor may have interacted within her community, and how to use that interaction to locate more information about her. Although this is a stand-alone presentation, it can be considered as the first of a two-part series on researching women in our ancestry. The second part, which is also a stand-alone presentation, is "Discovering Your Female Ancestors," to be presented at the Allen County Genealogical Society of Indiana monthly meeting, April 9th, in Meeting Room A at 7:00pm. This presentation will focus on how understanding a woman's legal standing can lead to locating the female whether or not she is named in a document. The public is invited to attend the ACGSI meeting and hear Melissa as she shows you how to expand your search to find Her.

Networking giant Cisco Systems has teamed up with the UK's Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) in the hope of luring young whippersnappers away from the clutches of Media Studies and into the loving arms of the IT profession.
Addressing a global shortage of accredited professionals within the IT industry, the firm reckoned that its new partnership with the community-hugging IET - which boasts 150,000 members worldwide - presented a number of incentives for would-be Cisco certificate holders.
It said that under the agreement, accredited Cisco professionals will be eligible to receive fast-track entry to IET membership, giving them access to a range of products and services.
Other benefits touted include free entry to IET-sponsored events, a chance to rub shoulders with fellow IT types through local networks and access to online libraries of head-scratchingly difficult technical publications.
IET CEO Robin McGill said: "The IET is committed to increasing the level of proficiency and professional development in engineering and technology, and therefore our working together is an important development in supporting the advancement of technologists around the globe."
Elsewhere in Cisco world, the firm today announced that it plans to buy privately held wireless technology outfit Cognio for an undisclosed sum.
Cisco said it expected the deal to complete in the first quarter of 2008.
The full Cognio press release is here and there's more on IET here. ®

People Behind KDE: Michael Pyne
In the next People Behind KDE interview, we stay in the United States of America (but leave in an underwater craft!) to meet a KDE developer who could be a JuKebox in another life, someone who helps you build development versions of KDE (staying on the bleeding edge without the pain!) - tonight's star of People Behind KDE is Michael Pyne.
Nice Interview
what an interesting interview!

Re: Nice Interview
Yes, I like it too. Especially since it reads far more like a dialog than previous installments did. Those read like a standard list of questions being answered and then send back. In this one, the interviewer responds to what is being answered, asks more questions. This makes for a far more interesting read. Good job!

Michael's got a good employer - the Navy employed Grace Hopper, the discoverer of the computer bug - for most of her career as a programmer. So he's following in some great footsteps.
By John at Sun, 2008/08/17 - 5:00am
Re: Good employer
Yeah, it's been pretty good times in the sub fleet. I realize I kind of sounded down on the Navy but like I said overall it's been a good deal. Not sure that I will make it a career but it's hard to complain even after some of those days that seem like they will never end. The work is interesting and the people are awesome so although it would not have been my first choice if I could go back in time, I have no regrets.
I will mention however that my work for the Navy is completely unrelated to the work done by ADM Hopper, I was accepted into the Submarine community in spite of my Computer Science degree, not because of it.

Re: Good employer
Hey Michael, I'm ex-Navy myself. I was an airdale way back when the Enterprise was the only nuclear carrier. For this reason it was the choice instrument of sabre rattling and offered typical 8 month deployments. No senior people wanted to be there and thus you can imagine what kind of command it was. Sea dogs voted us most likely to sink back in 1976. It was around this time I was told Navy stands for "Never Again Volunteer Yourself".
I am quite proud to have served. When I got out I had received one meritorious promotion and was the only Avionics Tech in my squadron fully qualified on all four versions of the A6 aircraft. I had zero downing gripes in 6 months as a flight deck troubleshooter. I loved those 100 hour work weeks of run don't walk in full gear and equitorial heat around 50 turning jets in 1100 feet (33.5 meters). I think it was partly that excellence was not rewarded without seniority that frustrated me. By the same token it was the first place I proved to myself I could achieve excellent performance and the discipline I learned impacted the rest of my life. I have no regrets but one nice thing about being old is that I can't wake up re-enlisted. ;-)
Anyway it's always fun to see others from the US in KDE and even cooler to see people in the Navy. You have my appreciation both for what you do for KDE and for standing ready to protect my freedom. I salute you.
Oh... and check out http://kittyhooch.com to see what I do now.

If you don't like Wikipedia itself, take a look at the sources it cites relevant to that quotation. I just somehow doubt they'd make up a quote by Thomas Edison that uses the word "bug" in the modern sense, and cite it as well.
But I know everyone likes to hate on wikipedia even though I and many others rarely find any gross or even minor errors on it (maybe I'm just not looking at the right articles?).

Re: "Football"
Yeah, the "wuzzy" kind.
It's like Rugby only with breaks every 15:th second. And with big helmets and other protective gear. And let's have another two teams standing by if someone from the first team gets tired from running for 10sec straight.
Just kidding. I enjoy the sport, although I do think it should have another name. Football is played with the feet, hence the name. Call it Am-ball or something. ;-)
By Bmin at Mon, 2008/08/18 - 5:00am
Re: "Football"
actually, football is played on foot (as opposed to on horses) hence the name. You don't have to redefine the word "football" just to win an argument :)
Personally, I prefer the Australian way: just call the sport by it's name. We have Soccer, Gridiron, Rugby (Union), (Rugby) League and Aussie Rules.
By m at Tue, 2008/08/19 - 5:00am
Re: "Football"
Great explanation, never heard it before. It's good to know where the name came from. To be fair though most ball sports are played on foot aren't they? Never heard of the sport "horse ball" but I'd give it a chance if it was on the tube. Maybe.
By Bmin at Tue, 2008/08/19 - 5:00am

"horse ball" is called polo, I think.

Only someone who has never stood hours of periscope operator on the midwatch could say that the new photonics masts are a "sad thing". :P
I've never used a photonics mast underway so I haven't been able to compare to see whether the resolution is adequate. But I hope to never ever see a normal periscope again. :)
By Michael Pyne at Tue, 2008/08/19 - 5:00am
Re: So this is why he prefers submarines
I did not say that the new masts are a "a sad thing". I said that not putting more cameras out there and doing research at the same time is a sad thing. At any one time, we have a number of subs in the oceans in locations that research vessels will not see for the next 50 years. These could be shooting pix. In particular, there is no reason to not use various wavelength lights during peacetime (obvoiusly we do not want them shining during none peacetime).

Re: So this is why he prefers submarines
Wow. Just read my original post. I did say exactly that. I did not mean it that way. I am sorry. What bugs me is that the USN is in areas that researchers will not be in for 50 years. It would be useful to have them check interesting areas and record them while there.

Police arrest kidnapping, robbery suspect
Second suspect still not identified
Police arrested Darrell Dewayne Bruce just after midnight Friday on charges of aggravated robbery and kidnapping, according to Sgt. Daniel Grubbs with the Fort Smith Police Dept.
The second suspect in the case has not been identified.
Seventy-two-year-old Jim Bowman was watching television at his home on Oct. 17 when he heard a knock at the door, according to Grubbs. He opened the door to two men he didn't recognize.
"In my opinion, they were punks who can't do anything better than pick on a 72-year-old," Bowman said.
Grubbs said they forced their way inside, threatened Bowman and bound him with duct tape while they stole items from his home.
Bowman said the two men trashed his house and beat him.
"He said, 'You're going to the ATM with me,'" Bowman said.
Bowman said one of the suspects used Bowman's truck to drive them both to the ATM; however, Bowman said he initially gave the man the wrong personal identification number.
Police used evidence to identify Darrell Dewayne Bruce as one of the two suspects, Grubbs said.
A warrant was issued for Bruce on suspicion of aggravated robbery and kidnapping.
"I told them, 'I hope you live to be 73 years old and something like this happens to you. That would be revenge,'" Bowman said.
Police said Bruce has been arrested previously on burglary charges and said he may still be in the Fort Smith or Van Buren area.
Bowman said he will now not open the door if he doesn't know who's on the other side.
"I don't ever want to see this happen to someone else, and if I had my druthers about it, I think they ought to put them away for a long time," he said.

<I>Hook</I> tightening: Assembly targets LLC tax dodge
Sure, The Hook would like to take credit for two bills in the House of Delegates that close a tax loophole that lets rich guys buy and sell multi-million dollar properties without paying a cent in recordation taxes.
But it can only take credit for inspiring one.
Delegate Mitch Van Yahres has submitted a bill to eliminate the exemption that allowed former Tyco exec Mark Swartz to buy historic Enniscorthy for around $17 million from former New York Islanders hockey team owner John O. Pickett. The two men legally dodged nearly $50,000 in recordation taxes through savvy use of limited liability corporations.
Van Yahres cites The Hook's November 4 cover story, "Dodgeball: A true (real estate) story– and a tax break for the rich and famous" as the inspiration for his bill. "I had somebody call and ask, 'why don't you do something about that?'" he says.
Recordation tax dodges aren't limited to Albemarle County– nor are bills to close the loophole limited to Democrat delegates such as Van Yahres. House Finance Committee Chairman Harry Parrish, a Republican from Manassas, was also interested in closing the loophole.
"He said, 'You do it since you had publicity about it in Charlottesville,'" Van Yahres relates.
Delegate Allen Louderback, the 15th District Republican from Luray, has a bill that's virtually identical to Van Yahres'. His was sparked by a constituent's complaint about a Rockingham County property transfer in the $5 million range in that used the LLC exemption loophole to avoid paying transfer fees.
Louderback aide Gary Frink calls the practice a "scam"– although it's a perfectly legal one.
On September 1 last year, the General Assembly's increase of recordation taxes took effect. Cities and counties quickly followed by hiking their portion of the tax on property transactions. So now in Charlottesville and Albemarle County, on a $200,000 home (if such a creature still exists) with a $150,000 mortgage, the total transfer tax has jumped nearly 100 percent, from $700 to $1,367. Louderback thinks the LLC dodge will become even more prevalent following the increase.
Venerable Monticello used the exemption when it paid $15 million for Brown's Mountain last year– and formed an LLC specifically for the transfer. The seller's representative, John Haskell, transferred the 330-acre property as a gift to TJF LLC in exchange for 100 percent ownership of the LLC. Monticello, in turn, bought Haskell's membership interest in the LLC– not Brown's Mountain per se– for $15 million, and hence no recordation fees.
Of course, saving money for a nonprofit group such as the Thomas Jefferson Foundation may inflame fewer critics than a break for Enniscorthy owner Swartz, who is again standing trial for allegedly defrauding Tyco shareholders of millions.
One potential problem with the new bills is that they could prevent the tax exemptions' originally intention to allow a company or individual to transfer property to an LLC without paying recordation taxes– because they'd already been paid once.
"We can amend it," says Louderback, "and we're going to work on that."
Real estate attorney Bill Tucker is skeptical about whether the original good intent can be preserved. His clients often use the LLC recordation tax exemption to transfer property they own into limited liability corporations. He mentions, for example, a client who transferred a small property into an LLC, and if the owner can't obtain a loan, Tucker may have to transfer it back to the owner's name.
"It's about a $150,000 property, and it would cost about $450 in recording fees," says Tucker.
Van Yahres and Louderback's bills will be read in subcommittee January 19, after The Hook has gone to press. And chances for passage? Unlike many of Van Yahres' minority-position bills, this one seems to enjoy bipartisan support.
"I don't think there's any question," says Van Yahres. "No one likes the idea of loopholes. We're going to close it but try to keep the legitimate aspects."

Things really heated up this past few days as we inched closer to finding out who the winner of this year's Solar Decathlon would be, and in the end Team Germany's surPLUShouse stole the show. We were sad to see that Cornell University's Silo House did not place in the top 3, but we still love this totally unconventional and clever home which held steadfastly in the ranks as part of the top 10 throughout the week. As a compact modular structure, the Silo House proves that impressive green, energy-efficient things do come in small spaces!
With only 800 sq feet of space, the Silo House is a unique arrangement of circular and orthogonal elements, giving a nod to the upstate New York architectural vernacular that surrounds it. The house is primarily composed of three cylindrical "living" modules – bedroom, kitchen and living room – which are positioned around a central square courtyard, shaded and powered by canopy of 40 photovoltaic panels able to produce 8 kilowatts of power.
The containers derived their inspiration from industrial agricultural materials, and the circular shapes allow for an advantageous diffusion of light and promote stack ventilation through operable Velux® skylights. By employing a CorTen corrugated steel cladding to the exterior, the façade not only takes on a unique color and rural aesthetic, but the CoreTen steel envelope provides a considerable solar gain by creating a skin-integrated solar thermal system that is able to pre-heat hot water. Interior materials have been locally sourced, and sustainably forested hardwoods form the home's sleek, yet warm and welcoming palette, complemented by the use of zero off-gassing finishes throughout the interior.
Photo Credit: Dept of Energy Solar Decathlon
But most impressive is the Silo House's complex, highly controlled electrical, HVAC and land irrigation systems. The electrical which is comprised of solar panels, two grid-tied inverters, and a smart load panel by C-E-Systems Inc. which tracks the home's energy and consumption rates in real time. The data recorded by the smart load panel is then uploaded to the internet, generating detailed reports that can be accessed anywhere. The software that runs in conjunction even allows the homeowner to turn off circuits remotely and to set power consumption limits based on current solar generation rates or the cost of electricity.
The HVAC combined systems of water tanks for thermal storage, advanced computer automated controls, and two solar thermal systems provide continuous indoor comfort that is reliable, finely controlled, and incredibly energy efficient. Each room has the capability to regulate its own air delivery allowing for individualized temperature adjustments, and in turn energy savings from "islanding rooms."
The Silo House is a collective effort of faculty, staff, alumni and 150 of Cornell's most creative and talented minds descending from the Colleges of Engineering, Architecture, Human Ecology, and Agricultural and Life Sciences, and the Johnson Graduate School of Management.

KX News
McCLUSKY, N.D. - It's a daily duty many ranchers take for granted - and sometimes even complain about.
Matt Fischer would gladly be out in the tractor, versus watching from the sidelines.
"November 10, I thought I would maintain the stack mover and oil the chains and get it ready for winter," he told KX News (http://bit.ly/JG7vIH ).
"I was oiling the chains and one of the couplers caught my coat, pulled me in and flipped me over. Before I knew it I had no chance to get away. It had amputated my arm, and then I still had my leg, but it had chewed it up pretty bad. I was able to crawl out from underneath there are jump in the pickup and get back to mom's and call for help."
Now half of Matt's cattle live here at his in-laws, while the other half are spending the winter at a neighbor's house.
"Once it all happened, it was a lot of phone calls taking place and a lot of friends and neighbors helping out. Just wanting to help," said Kim Saueressig, Fischer's brother-in-law.
Fischer said the community support has been overwhelming.
"I don't have any words. I know the cows are in good hands and I don't have to worry about it. It helps me get better and helps me heal when I don't have to worry about it," he said.
People from Mercer, Turtle Lake and McClusky have helped, Saueressig said.
"It's not just one community, it's three now. The outpouring of support is fantastic, it's been the amount of thanks we can't even say enough about - combining corn and taking care of the cattle and just the help that Matthew and Becky have been able to get has just been outstanding."
With an upbeat attitude and plenty of determination, Fischer doesn't plan on watching from the sidelines for long. He's waiting for the day the doctor gives the OK to be back in the tractor and out with the cattle.
"With the help of neighbors and family, I think we will be able to do that. That's our goal. To keep farming and to keep the cattle," he said.

Ballmer's Out? When Pigs Fly!
The blogosphere immediately jumped all over the inevitable meme that after the Yahoo (YHOO) deal fell apart, Microsoft (MSFT) CEO Steve Ballmer's job was at risk.
What with the problems with the new Vista operating system and the general feeling that Microsoft's Internet strategy is in shambles, the argument that Ballmer would be shown the door by an impatient board and replaced by former CEO and Founder Bill Gates was clear.
Actually, not so such much at all, but that has not stopped all the noise.
Maybe Ballmer should go and maybe not, but I would like some proof that's not in evidence as yet.
Instead, this TechCrunch story was typical, full of assertions as easy to make with certainty, but just as easy to knock down.
First, it noted that Ballmer being the "big driver behind this deal at Microsoft–some would say to the point of obsession" had made him vulnerable to the board, which he was trying to impress with a "transformative" deal and that he was worried about being fired.
Actually, I would be worried if Ballmer was not obsessed, given that more than $40 billion is an awfully big bet.
And has anyone noticed how typically ineffectual most boards are (see Yahoo, see Time Warner [TWX], see them all)?
I doubt there is a major force on the board of threat to Ballmer, except Bill Gates, who has never shown the slightest inkling of turning on his longtime partner.
Also, Gates himself fumbled with regards to the Web, and he even wrote a book about not doing that in 1995, called "The Road Ahead."
Microsoft has bungled the Internet? It's out of touch when it comes to the Web? Its troops have too many lifers who cannot innovate? Google (GOOG) has cleaned their clock? What!?
Of course, this has been news to exactly no one for about a decade now.
In any case, the Yahoo purchase was not the worst of ideas, if a bit obvious–although I have written several times that Microsoft should have bought up other Web 2.0 companies instead of Yahoo.
Both sides acted cloddishly, to be sure, and I am sure Microsoft's board and execs are smarting a bit from misjudging this foray–I myself wonder how they did they not anticipate just how recalcitrant Yahoo would be.
But Microsoft's withdrawal was clearly a better path than a hostile proxy fight.
So it did not work out (as yet)? So what? And if Microsoft stock rises tomorrow on the news, of course, all will be forgiven.
In addition, TechCrunch uses a source that is not exactly reliable, quoting "one secondhand account that leaked to us yesterday before the deal was called off," who tells tales of Ballmer's ranting and raving about how he wouldn't let the board "crucify" him.
Ballmer can sometimes be a loudmouthed popinjay!? What ho?!?
Also news to exactly three people in the tech sector and they have been in an isolation tank since 1976.
More to the point, I got that exact anonymous email too, and it was credible and from someone with some good information.
But I felt I could not use the Ballmer info without more proof (also, I would need to know who this person is or find other non-anonymous-to-me people to bear its assertions out).
While compelling and sent in very good faith by an obviously smart person, as many of these types of emails are, I figured the lively emailer was probably from someone close to or even one of the many disgruntled employees of Microsoft who did not like the Yahoo deal.
There were lots of them, as BoomTown reported here, but I determined the emails were just wishful thinking.
But you be the judge!
Here's two sections from the emails I got in their entirety related to Ballmer (with some minor edits to protect the sender) that TechCrunch clearly used verbatim, so you can see the whole thing rather than the pulled quotes:
Ballmer really does think his job is on the line if he doesn't close the Yahoo deal, and soon. He's worried after the fiasco that was the Windows Vista launch, then this, the Board will ask Gates to stay on while they find someone to replace him. Apparently this has caused Ballmer to be more of a tyrant than ususal, yelling and screaming at employees for almost no reason. Some Microsofties are secretly wishing the deal falls through so that Ballmer will get the axe and Microsoft will get new leadership."
The particular incident… was that an exec made a comment about not having to worry about Ballmer anymore if this Yahoo deal falls through. He didn't realize Ballmer was within earshot. Ballmer started yelling and screaming that this deal would go through and that the board wouldn't be able to 'crucify' him over this. The scuttlebutt suggests that the board was ready to walk because they fear this deal is proving to be to big of a distraction, but Ballmer is obsessed with making it happen in order to protect his job. The board gave him one more week to get it done….many in Microsoft belive Gates will stay on if asked because even Gates realizes that Ballmer needs to go."
Like I said: Wishful thinking.
This, of course, does not absolve Ballmer from having to come up with some very smart moves and fast to at least keep competitive with archrival Google and also figure out a way to protect its Windows software franchise in the wake of Google's cloud computing effort.
But that is a longer and more vicious ground war that will go one for a long time.
Yahoo might be Ballmer's Vietnam or Iraq, as still other bloggers are writing, but let's keep in mind that the first went on for decades and the second, unfortunately, is still slogging on.

Tidal wave of Canadian intolerance
Seems those hordes of "homegrown" basement Nazis... well, they don't actually, uh... exist...
"Years ago, when I chaired B'nai Brith Canada's League for Human Rights, we also did public opinion surveys of racism and antisemitism in Canada. They enabled us to say that the incidents were not the whole story."Geez... has anybody mentioned this to Warren Kinsella?
"In fact, when I testified before a Senate Committee, I pointed out that antisemitism was declining in Canada and that the more dramatic incidents seemed to be connected to new Canadians, or their offspring, who arrived with the baggage of antisemitism."
RELATED: Stuff happens. Hard to say why
Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia. If you're wondering what those countries might have in common, keep wondering.Hope, change and... nyah-nyah-nyah I can't hear you.
No words beginning with "I-" and ending with "-slam" passed the director's lips.
LAST WORD: Whither the CJC?
"The CJC sounds like I do when I'm trying to do anything to avoid doing real work -- you know, sort the fridge alphabetically, iron some blue jeans, write on my blog, etc. It's why I've deleted freecell from my computer."Bernie... maybe it's time, huh?

Amazon has launched three new Kindles at its event today, and it's not done. It also launched two new variants of the Kindle Fire, which has been one of the most popular tablets in the last year. The Kindle Fire has been refreshed with better hardware, and Amazon also launched a Kindle Fire HD with a bigger display and even better hardware.
Amazon Kindle Fire
The new, refreshed Kindle Fire comes with a 7 inch display, a faster processor and twice the amount of RAM in the original Kindle Fire. It has also dropped the pricing down to $159. The refreshed Kindle Fire starts shipping from September 14.
Amazon Kindle Fire HD
Here's the more interesting part. It also launched two new versions of the Kindle Fire HD, with 7 inch and 8.9 inch displays, and some really good hardware under the hood.
The 8.9 inch Kindle Fire HD features a larger display with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels, and a display density of 254 ppi. It is powered by a TI OMAP 4470 and includes stereo speakers. It also offers dual band Wi-Fi support for better connectivity and new MIMO technology.
The 16 GB variant of the Kindle Fire HD 8.9 is priced at $299. The 16 GB variant of the Kindle Fire HD 7 (with a 7 inch display) is priced at $199. Amazon will soon reveal the exact difference between the two in terms of hardware specifications.
Besides these three, Amazon also unveiled another variant of the Kindle Fire HD. It announced a Kindle Fire HD (8.9 inch) with 4G LTE bundled in at just $50 per month. This 4G Kindle Fire HD comes with 32 GB of internal storage, and is priced at $499, at par with the entry level iPad. The Kindle Fire HD variants will ship on November 20.

Hide your kids. Hide your wife. Hide your TV -- Antoine Dodson may get his own reality show.
The YouTube star famous for warning neighbors about his sister's "dumb" bedroom attacker has begun taping a reality show pilot, according to reports.
The show, if it gets picked up, would follow Dodson as he transplants his family from Alabama to Hollywood. "Couples Retreat" star Kali Hawk will executive produce the project, TMZ first reported.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
"With a potential new record deal in the works and money coming in from a variety of avenues, the show tracks how a news story sparked a new life for him and his family," Entertainment One, the show's developer, told news outlets in a statement.
After a Huntsville, Ala. TV news broadcast of Dodson's "hide your kids, hide your wife" warning went viral online, a New York musical duo turned Dodson's auto-tuned voice into an iTunes and Billboard hit.
Dodson reportedly shared in half the profits from "Bed Intruder Song," and went on to fill his pocketbook with income from a best-selling Halloween costume.
Also in October, he performed at BET's Hip Hop Awards show.

Today's story comes to us from up near my neck of the woods, over the border in New Milford Township, Pennsylvania. A retired homeowner in the rural district, 69 year old David Braman, was home alone when heard a knock at the door. It turned out to be someone claiming to have run into some car trouble and needing assistance, but living in that neck of the (literal) woods, Mr. Braman took some precautions when answering the door. We join our story in progress.
State police said three suspects arrived at the home of David Braman, 69. The suspects, Francois Muchanic, 31, of Susquehanna, Dylan Brewer 20, of New Milford and Evan Hess, 20, of Forest City were driven to the residence by Muchanic's girlfriend, Erica Major, 30, of Susquehanna.
Muchanic knocked on Braman's door wearing a ski mask. The victim opened his door carrying a loaded 357 Smith and Wesson revolver. Muchanic told Braman he was having car problems and needed to use his phone, according to state police.
Trooper Mark Mulvey said Braman tried to close the door when he realized Muchanic was wearing a ski mask. State police said Muchanic then forced his way into the home and began assaulting Braman and knocking him to the ground.
Braman fired three shots at Muchanic and hit him once in the groin.
Sorry to emphasis that last bit, but it's really one of the good parts of the story. Oh, and providing the proof of an old axiom which is clearly true, there is no honor among thieves.
Troopers say Muchanic fled the home, falling to the ground. The two other men, Brewer and Hess left Muchanic at the scene.
The girlfriend picked up Muchanic to whisk him away from the scene of the very badly failed crime, but quickly had to call for medical help for her man. She tried making up a story about how he had pulled over to help a motorist in distress, but the police weren't buying it. All three of them, plus the girlfriend, are in custody. We tried getting a statement from the police today without success, but local reports indicate that there are no charges being considered against Mr. Braman. (This is clearly different than what would have happened if this had taken place in New York City, where Braman would likely still be sitting in a jail cell.)
This happened in Pennsylvania, but it's not Philadelphia or Pittsburgh. This is out in the middle of the state which is commonly known as Pennsyltucky. Mr. Braman lives out near the local campgrounds and was clearly wise to not answer the door for strangers at night without his Smith & Wesson in hand. And since I know you're terribly worried about the welfare of the attacker…
State police say Muchanic is in critical condition.
Muchanic, Major, Brewer and Hess all face numerous charges.
That's just a crying shame, isn't it?

13.6 Consistency of Scenario Components
This section discusses some of the caveats of climate scenario development and focuses on the need for consistency in representing different physical aspects of the climate system. It does not discuss the many possible inconsistencies with respect to socio-economic issues in scenario development. Chapter 3 of the TAR WG II (Carter and La Rovere, 2001) and Chapter 2 of the TAR WG III (Morita and Robinson, 2001) provide a detailed treatment of these issues. Three common inconsistencies in applying climate scenarios are discussed, concerning the representation of ambient versus equivalent CO2 concentrations, biosphere-ocean-atmosphere interactions and time lags between sea level rise and temperature change.
The climate system consists of several components that interact with and influence each other at many different temporal and spatial scales (see Chapter 7). This complexity adds further constraints to the development of climate scenarios, though their relevance is strongly dependent on the objectives and scope of the studies that require scenarios. Most climate scenarios are based on readily available climate variables (e.g., from AOGCMs) and, where these are used in impact assessments, studies are often restricted to an analysis of the effects of changes in climate alone. However, other related environmental aspects may also change, and these are often neglected or inadequately represented, thus potentially reducing the comprehensiveness of the impact assessment. Furthermore, some feedback processes that are seldom considered in AOGCM simulations, may modify regional changes in climate (e.g., the effect of climate-induced shifts in vegetation on albedo and surface roughness).
Concurrent changes in atmospheric concentrations of gases such as CO2, sulphur dioxide (SO2) and ozone (O3) can have important effects on biological systems. Studies of the response of biotic systems require climate scenarios that include consistent information on future levels of these species. For example, most published AOGCM simulations have used CO2-equivalent concentrations to represent the combined effect of the various gases. Typically, only an annual 1% increase in CO2-equivalent concentrations, which approximates changes in radiative forcing of the IS92a emission scenario (Leggett et al., 1992), has been used. However, between 10 and 40% of this increase results from non-CO2 greenhouse gases (Alcamo et al., 1995). The assumption that CO2 concentrations equal CO2-equivalent concentrations (e.g., Schimel et al., 1997; Walker et al., 1999) has led to an exaggeration of direct CO2 effects. If impacts are to be assessed more consistently, proper CO2 concentration levels and CO2-equivalent climate forcing must be used. Many recent impact assessments that recognise these important requirements (e.g., Leemans et al., 1998; Prinn et al., 1999; Downing et al., 2000) make use of tools such as scenario generators (see Section 184.108.40.206) that explicitly treat atmospheric trace gas concentrations. Moreover, some recent AOGCM simulations now discriminate between the individual forcings of different greenhouse gases (see Chapter 9, Table 9.1)
The biosphere is an important control in defining changes in greenhouse gas concentrations. Its surface characteristics, such as albedo and surface roughness, further influence climate patterns. Biospheric processes, such as CO2-sequestration and release, evapotranspiration and land-cover change, are in turn affected by climate. For example, warming is expected to result in a poleward expansion of forests (IPCC, 1996b). This would increase biospheric carbon storage, which lowers future CO2 concentrations and change the surface albedo which would directly affect climate. A detailed discussion of the role of the biosphere on climate can be found elsewhere (Chapters 3 and 7), but there is a clear need for an improved treatment of biospheric responses in scenarios that are designed for regional impact assessment. Some integrated assessment models, which include simplifications of many key biospheric responses, are beginning to provide consistent information of this kind (e.g., Alcamo et al., 1996, 1998; Harvey et al., 1997; Xiao et al., 1997; Goudriaan et al., 1999).
Another important input to impact assessments is sea level rise. AOGCMs usually calculate the thermal expansion of the oceans directly, but this is only one component of sea level rise (see Chapter 11). Complete calculations of sea level rise, including changes in the mass balance of ice sheets and glaciers, can be made with simpler models (e.g., Raper et al., 1996), and the transient dynamics of sea level rise should be explicitly calculated because the responses are delayed (Warrick et al., 1996). However, the current decoupling of important dynamic processes in most simple models could generate undesirable inaccuracies in the resulting scenarios.
Climate scenario generators can comprehensively address some of these inconsistencies. Full consistency, however, can only be attained through the use of fully coupled global models (earth system models) that systematically account for all major processes and their interactions, but these are still under development.

VO customers are pretty amazing. Not only do they keep us in business, they send us great idea to share. Check out the items below. All of these were in our inbox yesterday.
Phillip sent us a video of his very clever folding bike mechanism. If VO ever makes a folding bike this might be the way to do it. He writes:
I designed it a while ago, but over Christmas I finally got around to making a prototype. The idea was to create a folding mechanism that could be applied to many types of triangular framed bicycles. Think of it more as a "its raining so I'll get the bus home" rather than a Brompton rival!Peter did a great job building up his '83 and '84 Lotus Classiques. Not only are there lots of VO parts, but checkout the great leather bits. Peter's comments are in the captions.
|And the toeclip leathers also worked well as pads to quiet any rattling of the SS water bottle from VO against the cage. VO of course wasn't making bottle cages back then.
Peter also sent us this link showing how he used a VO Rackaleur to support an OYB bag. And how to use that bag as a saddle bag.
Speaking of saddle bags, George got a Minnehaha medium saddle bag to use as a front bag. We tried it here and it works very well, at least on small-to-average sized frames. Everything I need for work, including my 12.5" Thinkpad, just fits. Might be a nice commuter setup.
|The back-strap on the bag fits over the front rack's "backstop" or integrated decaleur.

Mad Fashion on Bravo

Have you been watching Mad Fashion on Bravo? I have, as I pretty much watch everything on Bravo, well, except for Most Eligible Dallas, which looks too awful even for me. Anyway, I loved Chris March on Project Runway because he's so creative and hilarious, and it's so much fun to see him in his element, creating costumes like a Mardi Gras outfit for Jennifer Coolidge.
See that fab rug in the background? Yeah, we got that. It's the Thomas Paul Flock Dhurrie in Green and Cream, and it will ground your room with a vibrant layer of a rich mossy green oversized pattern. The Thomas Paul Rug Collection is made of high quality wool with the finest construction available. It's kind of baroque-goes-modern:
Never in a million years would I have thought to pair it with hot pink, but in the case of March's studio, it works.
Have you been watching Mad Fashion? What has your favorite challenge been? The most shocking thing to me is that the clients tend to hire him about two days before a crazy event and they whip something together in no time flat! I'm just hoping that one day someone will actually choose to wear one of Izzy Decauwert's fabulous wigs – she puts so much time and love into them and it seems no one ever opts to top of their outfit with her creation. Where do crazy unused wigs go after such rejection? The Wendy Williams Show?
Besides seeing Jennifer Coolidge, who is always hilarious on TV and movies and in "real life," Dina Manzo's closet was my other favorite thing about this show. It was so much larger than my entire house and it's shoe heaven. Totally insane:
Anyway, if you haven't caught this little gem of a show it really is delightful. Check it out on Bravo; I'm sure it's on like ten times a week like every other show on Bravo!

Businesswoman Penny Pritzker resigned from the Chicago Board of Education Thursday amid speculation that the longtime ally to President Barack Obama could be named the next U.S. Commerce secretary.
Pritzker was a top fundraiser for Obama's 2008 and 2012 campaigns, serving as his finance chairwoman in 2008, and is considered a leading candidate to run the Commerce Department.
The White House wouldn't comment Thursday on her prospects of being tapped for the job.
Obama isn't expected to announce his nominee before leaving for the Mideast next week or while he is overseas. He's due back in Washington on March 23.
Pritzker is an heir of the family that founded the Hyatt chain of hotels and. Obama selected her for his 16-member Presidential Economic Recovery Advisory Board in 2009. When that board expired, Obama included her in his 26-member Council on Jobs and Competitiveness.
Pritzker did not mention the potential Cabinet post or give a reason for her resignation in a letter to Mayor Rahm Emanuel. She thanked Emanuel for the opportunity to serve and said she "wholeheartedly" supports his efforts to improve Chicago's schools.
In a statement, Emanuel said the lifelong Chicagoan has shown "an incredible commitment" to making the city a place where every child can thrive.
"Throughout her career she has been a champion for Chicago and our students, a true leader in her every business, civic and philanthropic endeavor," Emanuel said. "I thank her for her tireless service to our students and our schools and I know she will continue to be an advocate for our city's bright future."
AP White House Correspondent Julie Pace contributed to this report.

Electric Kit
Electric Kit
I doubt the number of people wanting to and able to convert their car to electric will be very large in comparison to ones wanting to buy new OEM EVs. A Nissan Leaf will cost far less, have many better features and be much more comfortable and reliable than anything that could be converted. Even the cost of a new Tesla S may not be much more than the cost of buying all the parts to convert your car to electric with Tesla parts. Further, every ICE car is different to convert and would require far more technical support from Tesla personel compared to a car that Tesla builds themselves.
I've driven conversions for 9 years now and can tell you from first hand experience that I have not driven a conversion that was even close to an OEM vehicle in terms of refinement.
It's unlikely that Tesla will go along those lines, it's a hobby-horse sort of market, and it's not very profitable.
If a conversion company approached Tesla, they might be interested in supplying them with Tesla parts to do conversions, but I don't think Tesla wants it's tech tinkered with at the "guy in his garage" level.
Then too, Tesla could only supply the PEM and motor, the batteries would still be a custom job on each conversion.
I agree it would not be profitable (currently) and I doubt Tesla would do it.
But I disagree people wouldnt want to do it. Forget Nissan leaf, just remember what great car designs are out there and how good they could be if they where electric. Just imagine, a electric BMW M5. The car is already fantastic, amazing handling, suspension, etc. Just take out all the complicated IC stuff and put in an electric motor, now that would be a special car. Or an electric Porsche, etc, etc.
There's a real opportunity for someone to showcase electric power even further by converting really good IC cars and showing just how good they could be with electric power.
I defer to Sparrow's experience, but AFAIK a car that's "great" as an ICE vehicle doesn't necessarily carry over all those qualities when converted. Just think of what you're doing to the center of gravity, for a start.
Brain H already mentioned the biggest draw back to electrifying an ICE vehicle.
The other is the cost. It's around $3000 alone to get the motor and flange kit not including Regen...... then you still have to purchase the batteries and charging system, then you have to put in all the labor hours to remove the old and install the new. Then you have to do something for the power steering, A/C, heat, and all that other stuff that runs off the belts.
It's likely that another company would actually do the retailing of such an electrical drivetrain although the system may be Tesla designed. I think it's quite likely that some company will
put together something like this but not aimed at high volume
sales. I would like to have such a drivetrain to convert an older, classic car, like an Austin-Healey or 60's Corvette. An older car would be FAR, FAR easier to convert, since they lacked all the electronic junk we now have. Those cars would be a piece of cake to convert - I saw one where the owner simply pulled the engine and bolted an electric motor to the manual tranny, which I think he put into second gear, as I recall. No need for a clutch.
Agree with the old school conversions, plus the (gulp) kit car industry, who im sure would be a prime market
I doubt very much Tesla will ever put its name on any kit products. They may collaborate somewhat "behind the scenes" with some such maker/distributor, tho'.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) ? Danica Patrick remains unaffected by the swirl of speculation that trails her everywhere, saying she has no timetable for making a decision about her racing future.
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Danica Patrick remains unaffected by the swirl of speculation that trails her everywhere, saying she has no timetable for making a decision about her racing future.
Patrick reiterated Thursday at Daytona International Speedway that she's in no hurry to chose between IndyCar and NASCAR.
"These things, as I've said from the beginning of the year, are complicated and they take time," Patrick said before the Nationwide Series practice. "Whether I'm coming here or not has yet to be signed, sealed and delivered. I might not be. Only time will tell. That timeline on my side of things, I'm really not sure. All I know is that I'm told I have a job to do in the car and you do your job and we'll do our job and they fill me in from time to time. But it's only July."
Patrick's pending decision has been a major topic of conversation all season, much of it coming as she jumped from NASCAR to the IndyCar Series and back again.
Finding success in both series could make her choice even tougher. She was fourth in a Nationwide race at Las Vegas in March, the best finish for a female driver in NASCAR history, and has posted four top-10s in her last five IndyCar events. She also led 10 laps in the Indianapolis 500, a brief stint out front that left her hungry for another shot at open-wheel's showcase event.
So what will sway her?
"It comes down to my gut and my desire and where I feel like I'll be the happiest and where I feel like I'll be able to have the most success," she said. "And then from those thoughts my team explores the options. But it always starts with where I want to be."
Patrick expressed little concern about reports her primary sponsor, GoDaddy.com, is being sold and said it would have no affect on her future.
The domain-name registration company known for its racy Super Bowl ads is reportedly close to being bought by two private investment firms for up to $2.5 billion. Patrick said GoDaddy CEO Bob Parsons hasn't said anything about a pending deal.
"It hasn't affected my day," Patrick said. "Still working with all the same people. I don't know if it's true. ... Unless I hear from Bob and he tells me it's been sold, it's all speculation till that point. For me, it's all status quo."
Parsons nixed rumors about a potential sale earlier in the year, Patrick said, but has been mum in recent weeks.
"I remember this came up in the early part of the year," Patrick said. "He called and told me that it wasn't true, and that was it. I haven't heard from him about it. I don't know if that means it's being done or if it's not going to be done. Perhaps they don't know that answer either.
"So I guess that why it's still in speculation mode as opposed to reported true or reported false. Will that affect my relationship with them? I don't know. It might not change anything. It might change everything. I'm not really sure. "
Patrick finished 10th in her last Nationwide race in Chicago in early June, and will return to IndyCar next week in Toronto.
This weekend, though, she will try to hone her skills at Daytona. She was 14th at NASCAR's most famous track in the Nationwide season opener despite struggling with some aspects of the new tandem racing. She turned two laps in practice Thursday before scrapping the wall and returning to the garage.
"I need some practice," she said. "I want to be efficient at it, good at it, before the race starts."
