A year ago on Feb. 11, 2012, the Grammys (and popular culture) were rocked by the news of Whitney Houston's untimely death at age 48.
Houston was found dead of accidental drowning in a bathtub at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Feb. 11 2012. It was the eve of the music industry's biggest night and the revelation sent shockwaves throughout the recording community and kept the general public fascinated in the months that followed.
With the annual awards show set for Sunday night, the specter of Houston, her legacy and those she left behind comes into sharp focus once again.
U.S. & World
On Saturday night CBS will air an hour-long special, "The Grammys Will Go On: A Death in the Family," which will look back at the 24 hours prior to the 2012 Grammys when news of Houston's passing broke. The special will include a look at how Grammy producers scrambled to rework the event in the wake of the announcement and features celebrities such as LL Cool J, Taylor Swift, Jennifer Hudson and Bruce Springsteen discussing the legendary singer.
Much has happened in the 12 months since Houston died. The singer returned posthumously to screens in the film "Sparkle;" ex-husband Bobby Brown remarried, entered rehab and faced court in connection with DUI arrests; daughter Bobbi Kristina appeared on the Lifetime reality series "The Houstons: On Our Own" and made headlines by dating her informally adopted brother; and mom Cissy released the tell-all memoir "Remembering Whitney: My Story of Love, Loss and the Night the Music Stopped."
In death as in her later life, drama continues to surround the superstar and those most closely connected to her.
Whitney Houston's return to the big screen in "Sparkle" would tragically turn out to be her last appearance on the big screen. The supporting role of the mother in the remake of the 1976 film about a trio of singing sisters was Houston's first major motion picture outing in 16 years. She also lent her talent to the soundtrack, singing the gospel standard "Eyes on the Sparrow" and performing a new duet with the movie's lead Jordin Sparks titled "Celebrate."
Much of the pre-promotion around the film centered on cast reminiscences of Houston and her behavior during filming, with Sparks telling E! news that while on set, Houston was "singing all the time… She was very nurturing, very motherly, was always asking if I was OK, to everybody." Released to mixed reviews on Aug. 17, "Sprakle" was ranked number 5 at the box office on its opening weekend and went on to gross $24.3 million domestically.
Bobby Brown
Immediately following the death of his ex-wife, Brown struggled to perform at a New Edition concert and exited the stage early. Invited to appear at Houston's funeral, Brown arrived as the ceremony was beginning, going to the head of the church to lay his hand on the casket, before heading to the rear of those assembled. He left soon thereafter reported NBC New York.
The "My Prerogative" singer married Houston in July of 1992 and nine months later the couple welcomed the birth of their only child together, daughter Bobbi Kristina. The marriage lasted 14 years but was plagued with rumors of Brown's infedility and the couple's frequent drug use, some of which was chronicled on the reality TV show "Being Bobby Brown."
Houston eventually confessed to abusing cocaine, marijuana and pills, and told ABC's Diane Sawyer in 2002 that "the biggest devil is me. I'm either my best friend or my worst enemy." Their divorce was finalised in 2007 with Houston receiving custody of their then 14-year-old daughter. In an interview with Oprah Winfrey, Houston said that it was her daughter that encouraged her to leave Brown.
The remainder of 2012 saw Brown, 44, arrested for two separate DUI incidents in March and October. The singer also underwent court-ordered rehabilitation for alcohol addiction in August.
In June, Brown married his longtime manager Alicia Etheridge in Honolulu.
Cissy Houston
On the first anniversary of her daughter's death, Cissy chose to publish a memoir, "Remembering Whitney: My Story of Love, Loss and the Night the Music Stopped." In the book, Cissy looks back at her own life - she's had a well-regarded career as a gospel vocalist and backup singer - and addresses the demons that plagued her superstar daughter (whom she called "Nippy") and the fact that the connection between mother and daughter was often strained.
"Nippy never liked to share her problems with me, so I didn't know exactly what was wrong," Cissy, 79, writes. She goes on to reveal that their relationship grew worse as Houston's drug use escalated and that she often intentionally overlooked things out of fear of being further ostracized from her daughter's life.
Pointedly, Cissy writes that while she doesn't blame Bobby Brown for introducing Whitney to drugs, she had doubted whether he was right for her daughter and that she might not have ended up so "deep" into drugs had they not stayed together.
Bobbi Kristina Brown
It appears that with Houston's passing, the often fractious relationship between mother and daughter has jumped a generation. Following its release, Houston and Brown's daughter Bobbi Kristina publicly slammed her grandmother's memoir as "disrespectful."
The 19-year-old took to her Twitter account following the book's debut on Jan. 29 to voice her feelings: "ANYTHING concerning my grandmothers Book I & @nickdgordon OF COURSE personally have NOTHING 2 do with I ask you pls RESPECT tht Haven't read & won't," she wrote to her more than 120,000 followers.
It's not the first time grandmother and granddaughter have not seen eye to eye. Cissy reportedly weighed in when Bobbi Kristina's relationship with her informally adopted brother turned lover Nick Gordon (whom Houston took in when he was 12 years old) appeared to escalate while on the reality series "The Houstons: On Our Own." When Bobbi Kristina announced that she and Gordon were engaged, family members were quick to voice their opinions.
At the time, Houston's sister Pat told E! News that she didn't think much of her niece's news when she heard it. "At the beginning of the show, she was engaged," Pat acknowledged. "You have to realize, she's just lost her mother and she's 19 years old. I didn't take the engagement seriously," she admitted. "They are friends, they will always be friends."
The on-again-off-again relationship between Bobbi Kristina and Gordon (who currently live in Atlanta while Cissy resides in New Jersey) is back on according to Bobbi Kristina's Twitter page, though the pair called off the engagement soon after it was revealed on television.
"Of course I worry about her," Cissy told People in January. "Bobbi Kristina is 19, and if you know anything about a 19-year-old, they think they know it all. It doesn't mean that she is going to follow her [mother's] same path. She could but anybody could. I don't want to jinx her. I'm trying to make sure she doesn't."
Cissy goes on to say in the interview that she doesn't hear from her granddaughter as often as she would like. "She's a typical young girl," she says. "Nobody calls their grandmother. [But] I'm here if she needs anything."

Yikes! Dinosaur Jr. pre-date a lot of the grunge acts in the early 90's. You'd really benefit from searching out some of there earlier stuff. The newer material is really derivative of where they started out.

openSUSE 11.2 Released With Polished KDE Desktop
If you haven't heard yet, you've probably been under a rock since Thursday, but openSUSE 11.2 was released with KDE 4.3.1 as the default desktop.
As well as all the features KDE 4.3 brings, the openSUSE team and community have worked hard to improve integration with frequently-used non-KDE apps such as Mozilla Firefox and OpenOffice.
Netbook and notebook users will like the new KDE 4 KNetworkManager and improved KDE RandR support for external monitors, and sensible defaults like automatically enabled Desktop Effects and opt-in indexing for desktop search make for a good out-of-the-box experience.
As usual, openSUSE 11.2 has the YaST do-it-all configuration tool, now completely ported to Qt 4, and KDE users will benefit from the new Desktop kernel, tweaked for desktop performance.
Tried it
I did a comparison this weekend of openSUSE 11.2, KBuntu 9.10, and Ubuntu 9.10.
I am sad to say that I preferred the Ubuntu version of Linux. I have been a KDE fanboy for some time, my first experience was in the 2.x era, with a lot of use in 3.x era. I've been holding off on 4.x until it gets a bit more "mature". I think the upcoming 4.4 release will be "it". I am a professional Qt developer and like what KDE/Qt have to offer. But I am sadly disappointed by a number of design decisions KDE has made lately.
For instance, what use is it to rotate a plasmoid? Sure its nifty, but who will ever do it? The desktop is suffering from over-inventiveness and eye-clutter and not focusing on user-experience. And if KDE is to ever become adopted, it will have to go through a significant polish phase. Other problems I had was were things did not lay themselves out right. Simple things like QLabels were cut-off, I had to resize the dialog to read all the text. All around I found things just unpolished, not what I've come to expect. I have to say trying both KDE distros was very disappointing. Another problem I had was NeworkManager was not showing me how I was getting internet access. I eventually figured it out, but not having any devices listed was not right. I found the plasmoid side-bar (Size, rotate, close) to be un polished, and waste space. Given that users are familiar with the title bar concept, which has minimize/restore/maximize, and people all know you can resize at any corner, (on any GUI) providing an additional button for this infrequent action is silly. Also, who rotates windows? Not a single GUI has ever had a use case for that! And finally close. Close should be where everyone expects it to be, in the top-right. Not bottom right. The whole bar is a solution to a problem that shouldn't exist in the first place. I understand the need for a titlebar-less app, but the popup bar should be identical to the one we have (Horizontal, app title, close button the the right) just hide it unless the mouse enters the window.
KBuntu was my favorite of the two, simply because its package management system was better. OpenSUSE gave me a technical laundry list of things to install (I was trying to install gcc/++/make) and compile the VMWare tools. But I never succeeded because I couldn't locate the proper kernel source.
Both KDE's had things that crashed out-of-the-box.
Meanwhile, my GNOME experience of Ubuntu was much better. Nothign crashed, all dialogs were propery laid out. They may not add as many features per release, but damn if it isn't polished. Until KDE brings itself back into the fold, I am recommending (and using) Ubuntu. Which is a complete shame, because KDE is technically superior IMHO, its just that the technology is not being leveraged correctly.
Also, I think Amarok should be able to use DLNA sources for media sources. Given that I've gotten used to using DLNA for my PS3, Amarok should be able to access my TwonkyMedia server.
By Jason at Mon, 2009/11/16 - 4:13pm
amarok and upnp
there is some work being done on upnp kioslaves to allow KDE apps to browse/export shares, including amarok.
By Leo Franchi at Mon, 2009/11/16 - 4:53pm
I agree with a lot of what
I agree with a lot of what you said. I think KDE itself is quite good already, it's more a problem of the distributions right now. I am sorry, but openSUSE's package management and configuration stuff is a mess in my opinion. Give me a Debian, Ubuntu or Archlinux instead any day of the week. Kubuntu is the closest to what I am really looking for, very well upstream-only without shit custom themes and shit custom configuration tools (mostly). However, Kubuntu's KDE desktop seems less stable and not as fast as let's say sidux (Debian/sid) or openSUSE for some reason and the tools ported over from Ubuntu are not completely polished. Ubuntu (GNOME) is the "best" experience right now, while I think KDE is the "best" desktop environment right now. So hurry up Kubuntu, with Project Timelord!
By Dennis Martin Herbers at Mon, 2009/11/16 - 5:21pm
If you love Buntu then stick
If you love Buntu then stick to it and be happy. No need to come here and bash KDE for rotating icons. That just shows that you don't have an argument. Gnome apps don't crash? More power to you!
I would say that Linux is all about choice so if you don't like KDE then use Gnome, Xfce, IceWM or whatever. As long as it's running on Linux you are my friend :)
By Bobby at Mon, 2009/11/16 - 5:28pm
In fact, most of KDE is quite polished. And the OpenSuse KDE really shines with OpenOffice and Firefox integration. From my POV e.g. gnome just feels like a cluttered mishmash of separate apps whereas KDE is more unique. Gnome is good as a desktop and compares decently with Windows, it's just that only KDE gives the impression, that a "cool" idea is the driving force behind it. Simply inspiring... and it looks good ;-)
By thomas at Mon, 2009/11/16 - 6:14pm
Well I am glad you are my
Well I am glad you are my friend, but...
Its ok to be different, if you have a reason to be different. But KDE is different for no other reason than being different. Innovation at a fundamental level has a reason. Innovation is always some way better. It'll provide some value to the user.
And the rotating thing, can you come up with a legitimate reason why anyone want my windows rotated 45 degrees? How is that 'better'? What value does that provide the user?
If no other desktop does it, don't you think they have a good reason that they *don't* do it?
If you continue to bury negative comments, you won't wind up the a DE that people *want* to use.
By Jason at Mon, 2009/11/16 - 8:43pm
What are the windows you are supposedly rotating?
As far as I can tell, kwin does not support rotating of windows even with compositing. Making KDE just like every other desktop in that regard.
By Morty at Mon, 2009/11/16 - 8:52pm
not the first time asked, not the first time answered
"can you come up with a legitimate reason why anyone want my windows rotated 45 degrees?"
first, they aren't windows. disabuse yourself of that notion because it will lead to all sorts of odd conclusions. they are widgets which make up a larger application canvas, like building blocks. they are not, to repeat, windows.
there are two main use cases for rotating widgets:
* aesthetics; you'll see a lot of screenshots online of people's desktops with images of different sizes and rotations. it's visually pleasing.
* physical form factor appropriateness: by offering rotation and getting it right now, we're that much more prepared for surface computing where rotating an item so the person sitting opposite or beside you can see it properly.
it may not be a feature you care about, but it's a feature that some find enjoyable and others find useful. the work was all done in QGraphicsView below plasma, so we spent very, very little time (relative to the time spent on plasma as a whole to date) on this feature. as a graphical item in the UI, it doesn't have a negative impact taking up a few pixels on the handle.
i understand you are trying to point out flaws and what not as you perceive them, but we do tend to have a lot more design thought going into these things than the average person may appreciate at first glance.
ever noticed the color palette used for toolbar icons? or the number of elements in them? probably not consciously, but there are a huge number of such details that may seem irrelevant or inconsequential to you. these details do matter to many of our users and improve the experience they have with the software.
and remember: they aren't windows, they are widgets. ;)
By Aaron Seigo at Mon, 2009/11/16 - 9:01pm
Rotating can be quite nice if you for example want your clock in the upper left, the top aligned with the left side of the screen - or want to do a nice screenshot with notes.
Or if you want a rotated title to appear on your background image.
Besides: I normally work with locked plasmoids and only unlock them when I really want to change them. That way I very seldomly see the sidebar. But when I need it it's quite useful.

Learn how to promote and bury comments
Guys, stop burying comments just because you don't agree with them. That's not what the bury option is not there for. The forum is here for discussion and if it's on-topic and civilised let it be. Honestly, this is really annoying.
By Jorge Adriano at Mon, 2009/11/16 - 8:28pm
Get rid of bury and promote buttons
To tell you the truth, I would like the mods to get rid of this promote and bury crap on here. Let people be free to say whatever they want. I have to admit burying some comments sometimes but only because they bury me for no obvious reason. mods please get rid of this "feature" on the dot because it does discourage people to write at times and does not promote free speech..
By Bobby at Mon, 2009/11/16 - 9:27pm
How about just renaming them?
How about just renaming them?
"interesting" and "spam" might get people to use them in a more useful way.
By Arne Babenhauserheide at Mon, 2009/11/16 - 11:46pm
On topic
In this thread I see several posts with a negative score and all of them are off topic. This post is about open suse and they go on about how great another distro is. Which is irrelevant here and just impolite (we call it thread-hijacking) Seeing them buried makes sense to me.

Re: Tried it
@Widget rotation: I know enough people who have put a picture frame on their desktop with a slight rotation to make it look less boring. Or do you have everything aligned on a perfect rectangular grid on your real-life desktop?
@Label problems: Agreed.
@Widget sidebar positioning: Agreed in principle, but it's too late to change it now.
@Network manager: Devices are what I commonly call "implementation detail": something that is needed for the program to correctly perform some task, but something which is absolutely unnecessary to know about for 99,9% of all usecases. You might argue that you want to select a distinct network device, but esp. in network management, there are plenty features which need to be left out to be able to create a usable GUI. In 99,9% of all usecases, the automatically chosen network device will be the right (and only) one. If you have a special use case, nobody forces you to use NetworkManager.
General remark: This is not a bugtracker.

Re: Re: Tried it
"@Widget sidebar positioning: Agreed in principle, but it's too late to change it now."
it's not too late to change it (whatever gives you that idea?) and i don't agree at all, in principle or otherwise.
consider a few salient points: widgets are not guaranteed to be rectangular or have rectangular borders; they are purposefully not like windows in appearance because they AREN'T windows and people who insist on thinking they are windows (usually people who started using computers quite a while ago and so are unreasonably entrenched in 'windows are the new cool' era) fairly regularly end up with incorrect expectations and find it harder to use as a result; nobody has stepped up with an "inline" resize patch that works properly with all widgets.
By Aaron Seigo at Mon, 2009/11/16 - 9:06pm
borderless widgets
> widgets are not guaranteed to be rectangular or have rectangular borders
I didn't think of that at first, but now as I think of it it's clear. For example the Luna plasmoid doesn't have a border at all, and I like it that way. Still I need a way to resize it, and the sidebar is very useable for that.
By Arne Babenhauserheide at Mon, 2009/11/16 - 11:49pm
one thing I agree on
I must say I agree that default window sizes are often horrible on fresh installations of KDE software - pretty annoying...
By Jos Poortvliet at Tue, 2009/11/17 - 12:47pm
Kinda sloppy
Agreed, and it look kinda sloppy. When considering the untold hours going into writing the software, not spending a couple of minutes fixing stuff like this is odd. But the developers can not test everything.
The good news is, it's rather trivial to get it fixed. You only need to set up a fresh user and click trough the application and note down the ones that are not right, along with a proposal for a sane default size. And if your skills do not lie along the path of C++, send the list to a friendly KDE developer that will take care of it.(This was done before 3.4 or 3.5, so it's quite doable)
By Morty at Tue, 2009/11/17 - 1:22pm
Re: Kinda sloppy
"The good news is, it's rather trivial to get it fixed. You only need to set up a fresh user and click trough the application and note down the ones that are not right, along with a proposal for a sane default size."
No, it's not that easy. This way, you
The only right way to fix this is to fix the size hinting algorithms of the used widgets. Obviously this is something very untrivial.
By majewsky at Wed, 2009/11/18 - 7:53am
Of course you are right it,
Of course you are right it, the correct fix with size hinting et. al. is not trivial. But the trivial fix, would easily solve 90% or more of the annoyances,
As KDE already comes with defaults for font size and decoration. The bare minimum should be to have windows and dialogs, in their initial appearance, having a sane size big enough for this. And this is easily achieved as I already outlined. It would only break different configurations where content have sizes bigger than default, and they are broken today anyway so you loose nothing.
Besides, when it was done for KDE 3.(4/5) the response was only positive. It made a noticeable improvement, with minimal if any breakage.

Firefox KDE integration
Well done! I haven't tried openSUSE 11.2 yet, but it looks great.
The KDE Firefox intregration looks very nice - will this make it's way upstream? Or how difficult is it to install on other distros?
By Sepp at Mon, 2009/11/16 - 5:32pm
There is a little problem
There is a little problem that I am having with the Firefox integration. Firefox uses the Oxygen Theme but it doesn't seem to use it properly on my System. The icons are there and stuff but the font background looks like something from KDE 3.5x - bright blue. The same applies to the progress bar. The only GTK programme that seems to be using the oxygen theme fully is OpenOffice. KCM is installed. I even installed the gtk-qt engine and set the theme to Qt in Control Centre but it still hadn't changed in FF.
By Bobby at Mon, 2009/11/16 - 8:22pm
Install a gtk-chtheme package what allows you to change the style for GTK+ apps what you use on KDE. This way you can select firefox using any GTK+ style what is available.
And AFAIK openSUSE does not use Oxygen style but QtCurve what makes the firefox look more like KDE app. + The open/save dialog integration what could be done with apps from kde-apps.org site. It allows to GTK+ apps to use KDE dialoges.
To use QtCurve style, install the KDE4 and GTK+ versions from it and then configure the style on KDE side and start gtk-chtheme and select GTK apps to use QtCurve and start Firefox with default style. Same thing goes for firefox etc. So far one of the greatest Qt apps have be the Scribus what allows nicely choosing the Qt style from settings.

Not this time...
Having used Suse for nine years, this fall I had to switch to Mandriva 2010.0, unfortunately (I mean, Mandriva is really good: fast, stable, good configuration; but I just miss some Yast tools and the great amount of software).
By Cyril Brosch at Mon, 2009/11/16 - 6:00pm
Please come back home to
Please come back home to openSuse ;) Mandriva is also good. It's the first Linux that I installed and used back then in 2001. It was called Mandrake at that time and a very stable and easy to use distro. I discovered Suse after that and stuck to it even though I have tried a lot of distros since then.
By Bobby at Mon, 2009/11/16 - 8:05pm
Bug reports
There's a whole bunch of ATI card related reports, so I'm not the only one having problems.
I posted my Mandriva xorg.conf, maybe it helps to see a configuration that is actually working (even Xorg -configure didn't do it in OS 11.2, the fragments were still there).
By Cyril Brosch at Tue, 2009/11/17 - 7:54pm
I am sure that the openSuse
I am sure that the openSuse guys will find a fix for that soon. I also had a little problem installing my HP officeJet yesterday. it was a little annoying because I hardly ever had problems installing it on previous openSuse versions. It worked out eventually but these are some little things that cause an OS to lose points. The hardware should just work with little or no effort on the users' side.
Mandrive is a very good and stable distro like you pointed out but the main thing that made me stay with Suse is YaST. No other distro has such a powerful System Tool IMO and YaST is now better, more polished and faster than ever before.
By Bobby at Wed, 2009/11/18 - 8:17am
Mandriva magic
I don't know what is it with Mandriva I haven't tried it but everyone says that it is the best distro related to hardware compatibility.
By Mirza Dervisevic at Mon, 2009/11/16 - 9:05pm
Xorg -configure
maybe you should try configuring X using Xorg -configure. That should get you a proper config file...

I'm not usually a big fan of yellow, but I saw this one, and really liked the detail in the enamel. According to the hallmarks, it is Sterling from Sheffield, England, made in 1914. It's about 3" x 2". The color is great, and I don't see any chps anywhere on the piece. The third pic is how I displayed it, with some of my other enamel, etc. I hang the box on the wall like a shadow box, and it looks really good. Thanks for looking!

Oliver breaks school's career rushing record as Buffalo routs UMass 32-3 for 5th straight win
BUFFALO, N.Y. – Branden Oliver ran for 216 yards and a touchdown as Buffalo routed UMass 32-3 for its fifth straight win.
Oliver broke the school's record for career rushing yards, surpassing the previous mark set by James Starks. Oliver now has 3,203 career yards.
Buffalo (5-2, 3-0 Mid-American) scored twice on defense, the first coming on a 35-yard interception return for a touchdown by Khalil Mack in the second quarter. Buffalo also scored on a safety late in the third to extend its lead to 18-3. Buffalo then added two touchdowns in the fourth, scoring on a 7-yard pass from Joe Licata to Fred Lee and a 5-yard run by Oliver.
With a shutout victory last week at Western Michigan, the Bulls have now allowed just three points in their past two games.
A.J. Doyle went just 14-for-28 for 162 yards passing and an interception for UMass (1-6, 1-2).

Passengers stranded as US transport workers assess damage
Category: All Articles
Travellers, cargo stranded as U.S. airports, rails assess damage
Wed Oct 31, 2012 4:16am GMT from: http://uk.reuters.com/article/2012/10/31/uk-storm-sandy-transportation-idUKBRE89U06T20121031
(Reuters) - As rail, transit, airline and port workers dug through debris, dealt with power outages and assessed damage on Tuesday from massive storm Sandy, it was increasingly clear that restoring full transportation would take some time .
The storm flooded tracks and roads, felled trees and downed power lines. It could be days or weeks before travellers and cargo are moving again normally, officials said.
The three major New York area airports, which serve the nation's busiest airspace, remained closed on Tuesday, but officials later said two of the three -- John F. Kennedy International Airport and Newark Liberty International Airport -- would reopen on Wednesday with limited service.
However, they still had no estimate for a full restoration of service. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said LaGuardia Airport remained closed. Between them, the three airports handle 300,000 passengers a day.
Nearly 19,000 flights have been cancelled since Sunday, according to flight tracking service FlightAware.com.
Airlines said they planned to restart service Tuesday at some East Coast airports, including Boston and Philadelphia. Both Dulles and Reagan National in Washington, D.C., were open during the storm and airlines are starting to bring personnel and planes back. Limited operations were expected to begin Tuesday afternoon, said Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority spokeswoman Kimberly Gibbs.
JetBlue spokeswoman Allison Steinberg said the carrier planned to resume operations at New York area airports on Wednesday afternoon.
Even with JFK and Newark resuming limited services, travel itineraries will likely be tangled throughout the week as airlines get staff, planes and passengers into position.
"It could be four to five days before we start to see schedules get back to normal," said Jeanenne Tornatore, a senior editor with online travel agency Orbitz Worldwide.
Most Amtrak service along the busy Northeast corridor remained suspended for a second day Tuesday, but officials were working to reopen some services Wednesday.
"We have crews out there right now assessing and making necessary repairs," said Amtrak spokeswoman Christina Leeds.
United Parcel Service, the world's largest package delivery company, said it had resumed deliveries to hospitals and clinics in Manhattan and New Jersey where roads are safe.
No deliveries were being made in Washington, D.C., Baltimore and Philadelphia. Government officials only want emergency responders out in such areas, as well Delaware, New Jersey, and parts of Maryland and Virginia, a UPS spokeswoman said.
FedEx Corp said it was working to resume service in affected areas on Wednesday, but that hub airport closures and storm debris would affect service. "If you're at a house blockaded by fallen trees, we won't be able to get to it," said spokesman Scott Fiedler.
In New York, workers from the Port Authority and the Federal Aviation Administration are assessing damage at major airports, including power issues, possible damage to structures and other safety checks, the FAA and the Port Authority said.
Airlines needed to bring back planes, which were flown out to avoid the storm, before service could resume.
"We are focused on reopening as quickly as possible. But we will not compromise safety," said Port Authority spokesman Pasquale DiFulco. "We need to walk the runways and make sure there's no debris."
He declined to estimate when they would reopen, saying "a lot of things are outside our control."
The reopening of New York's transit system will play a large role in reopening the airports, because many of the workers at security checkpoints, customs and concessions, and baggage handlers and flight crews rely on public transportation.
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said it could take four or five days to restore service on the largest U.S. transit system.
"The availability of public transportation will also play into the New York plan, too -- so it remains very, very fluid," said JetBlue spokeswoman Steinberg.
About 220 travellers remain stranded at the airports -- 100 at John F. Kennedy and 60 each at Newark Liberty and LaGuardia, DiFulco said. They were given cots and at least one food vendor was required to stay open 24 hours at each terminal.
"We hate to see anybody stranded," DiFulco said. "We're doing everything we can to keep people comfortable."
Flights resumed Tuesday at Stewart International Airport, about 60 miles (95 km) north of Manhattan, near Newburgh, New York. The first commercial flight since the storm was expected to arrive around noon Tuesday, DiFulco said.
Railway freight companies were also working to restore service. CSX Corp, the nation's second-largest publicly traded railway company, said its network remains closed from Richmond, Virginia, to Albany, New York, and that it had halted traffic originating on other lines travelling to most points between Boston and Philadelphia.
CSX said it still had a lot of its track to inspect, that it had found flooding, downed trees and power outages, and that teams were removing trees, reinstalling crossing gates and ensuring generators were running to guard against power outages.
Norfolk Southern Corp said it was waiting for floodwater to subside, was clearing snow in western Virginia and West Virginia, and had a power line across tracks in Cleveland.
Airlines could lose $175 million in revenue from flights cancelled because of the storm, said Michael Boyd, an aviation consultant with Boyd Group International in Evergreen, Colorado.
"None of it is life-threatening corporately, but it is significant," he said.
Boyd said Delta Air Lines, JetBlue and United would be among the carriers hardest hit financially. He said AMR Corp's American Airlines operates 25 percent of JFK flights.
"From the airline perspective, closing your major hubs for several days is worth of a lot of revenue," said Carter Leake, an analyst at BB&T Capital Markets in Richmond, Virginia.
Airlines have high fixed costs and the loss of revenue would likely lower profits, he said.
Philadelphia's airport did not close but Monday flights were cancelled. "We had no damage to the facility, we had no flooding, so we were very fortunate," spokeswoman Victoria Lupica said.
Germany's Lufthansa has an inbound and outbound flight, and cargo carriers have resumed some flights, she said.
Delta Air Lines said it resumed flights to Philadelphia on Tuesday afternoon.
Atlantic City's airport was closed except for military flights. Spirit Airlines, the main commercial carrier there, may resume some service later on Tuesday, said South Jersey Transportation Authority spokesman Kevin Rehmann.

BARRINGTON - Representative elect David McSweeney (R-Barrington Hills) was appointed to the Illinois House of Representatives today to serve the remainder of the term of retiring State Rep. Kent Gaffney (R-Wauconda). McSweeney is set to be officially sworn in on January 6th and will represent the current 52nd district during the 97th General Assembly lame-duck session scheduled from January 6th – 8th.
"I am honored to receive this appointment and now it's time to get to work and tackle the state's major fiscal challenges," said McSweeney. "The 52nd district has a tradition of honest and responsive leadership in government. I will continue that strong tradition and I thank and commend Rep. Gaffney for his service and commitment. Kent has served our state well and I'm confident that he will continue to be a leading voice in helping to solve the major issues that we face. I also want to acknowledge the longtime service of Mark Beaubien to our community."
McSweeney has a successful business background in which he has worked as an investment banker, financial consultant and currently as an investment specialist. McSweeney will lean on that experience and 'know-how' and has pledged to take a common sense business approach when drafting and supporting legislation.
"We have a responsibility to act now on key legislation that will significantly impact our state's fiscal future," added McSweeney. "Fiscal responsibility with each tax dollar is my priority from day one."
The 98th General Assembly will convene on January 9th. McSweeney will then represent the newly mapped 52nd District, which will include parts of Algonquin, Barrington, Carpentersville, Cary, Fox River Grove, Island Lake, Lake in the Hills and Wauconda.

Pittsburgh's new mayor has an eye on sustainability and social equity, and he's hired on a sustainability consultant to meet those goals.
The city of Pittsburgh has codified the idea that technology is a means to achieve business goals, not an end in itself. By creating a new position of chief innovation and performance officer and hiring Debra Lam, an international sustainability consultant, the city is demonstrating a recognition that they need a new, holistic approach to city services. On Jan. 6, Lam took office alongside Mayor William Peduto.
Lam, who grew up in Pittsburgh, has worked around the world as a product manager and policy consultant for consulting and design firm Arup, showing communities what it means to be sustainable. In recent years, governments have begun viewing IT less as a tech support center and more as an integral tool to enhance all business operations, and in Pittsburgh, they're really taking that idea to heart, said Lam, pictured below.
"Technology is one of the important components, but it's really the intersection of technology, sustainability and performance," Lam explained, adding that it's not the job of IT to just fix things for departments when they break. "We should be there at the very beginning, in terms of the strategy, in terms of how you use services, how you think about services, how you're able to provide services."
One of Lam's focuses will be to ensure that technology and services are made available to all segments of the population, not just demographics where it's easiest for the city to deliver those services, she said. In that vein, the city has created a new division and hired new officials specifically for the purpose of looking at "vulnerable" communities, she said. This is an important part of what it means to be sustainable, she said – it's about ensuring that not only is the environment sustainable, but the people are given the resources and information to be sustainable, too.
"Pittsburgh has made enormous progress in terms of where we were compared to the heavy industry of the 70s and the 80s, the decline to where we are now, which is more high-tech, cleaner air quality and rivers, younger populations coming back in, a strong identity with the city – there's a lot of improvements and the city has made great strides in doing that," she said. "The city should recognize that but also know there's a lot we can do moving forward. The mayor really wants to propel Pittsburgh to become a world-class city. It's very ambitious but it's not out of the question in terms of the possibilities and the potential that we do have."
The city is now looking at version three of its climate change initiative, Lam said, explaining that Pittsburgh, like many cities, is still in the learning phase when it comes to many things. For many cities, sustainability has, in the past, meant carbon mitigation. Now, however, cities are seeing that they must be more forward-thinking; they can't just react in the short-term to the unfortunate reality of climate change, she said – this is one of Pittsburgh's goals when it comes to sustainability.
So far in her position, she said, she's been looking into the organization to see what resources the city has and how the city can best match those resources to meet the goals the mayor has put forward. An important part of this process, she added, will be to look at what other cities have done and figure out how that applies to their region.
"This is going to be a cultural shift," she said. "To have the team respond to this new vision is something that I think is going to take time, and we need to be prepared for that. But once we have the foundation set up, it's going to be much easier going forward to be able to support the vision and the recommended strategies that come out of that vision."
Lam characterized her own work style as diligent and persistent; she says she thinks carefully and has careful preparations, which she acts upon. "It's constant evaluation after you take whatever action, so you're constantly improving, and I think that's the cycle in my head of how we're going to approach this," she said. "We have to think about this from all angles, plan accordingly and be prepared for whatever situation or scenario, but then after the planning, we need to act."
Lam said she feels Pittsburgh is an exciting and progressive place to be today.
"I've lived in a lot of different places, and what I've found about Pittsburgh is that it has such a strong identity," she said. "People are really proud of it, and that's something you can't really institutionalize or plan or put an executive order or policy. It's really ingrained in the people, and I think that's one of the best assets we have."

Microsoft yesterday filed a patent infringement complaint against a Taiwanese computer peripherals vendor after talks on a licensing agreement for mouse technology stalled.
The software giant said that over the past few years it has made "repeated attempts" to strike a licensing deal with Primax Electronics Ltd, which according to its website manufactures imaging products, computer peripherals, office equipment and comms devices.
"Microsoft has an open intellectual property licensing policy, but in situations such as this, in which a reasonable licensing agreement cannot be reached despite our best efforts, we have no choice but to pursue legal action to protect our innovations," said Redmond general IP and licensing counsel Horacio Gutierrez.
The company, which is usually on the receiving end of lawsuits, filed the action with the International Trade Commission (ITC) over Primax's alleged failure to take part in Microsoft's hardware licensing program for its U2, Tilt Wheel and Magnifier technologies.
Gutierrez said: "Primax's practice of using our innovations without taking a patent license is unfair to the many companies that have already licensed our technology, so we are taking action to protect both our partners and our innovations."
According to Bloomberg the complaint targets mice sold alone or with keyboards under the Dynex and Rocketfish names and available at electronics stores including those of US retail giant Best Buy.
In December, Primax reported sales of NT$16.06bn ($520m) from January to November 2007. The company was founded in 1984 and has subsidiaries in the US, Hong Kong, Japan and China. There has been no activity on the Primax website since late last year when the firm was delisted from Taiwan's stock exchange on 5 December 2007.
ITC, whose case details against "the proposed respondent" Primax can be viewed here, protects US markets from unfair trade practices. It also has the authority to block imports of products found to infringe US patents.
Primax could not be reached at time of writing. ®

After kicking off the season with a win over Sheridan, the Brush boys basketball squad hosted their first home game of the season at BHS on Saturday evening against the 2A No. 7 ranked Akron Rams and for fans of both squads, the non-league action did not disappoint. After a nail-biting area rivalry bout, Brush posted the 71-66 win, taking their record to 2-0.
Although the Rams managed to ignite the scoreboard with the first points of the match, Brush swiftly answered back with a junior effort that included a Ben Mickey free throw, followed by a Trae Cranson three-point shot. Akron responded with a lay-up that tied the bout at 4. The first period of play saw the 'Diggers display cool and collected court vision and sound ball handling that culminated in a 16-10 lead, however the Rams proved relentless and managed to take the game to a tight 14-13 Brush lead to end the inaugural quarter.
Sophomore Austin Garcia would net two three-point shots for Brush during the second period and junior Jake Brown would add his own long shot to aid a sharp 'Digger lead. With junior Bryce Needens netting his own sweet shots and senior Mitch Tormohlen and sophomore Kyle Rosenbrock posting strong rebounds and points of their own from the boards, Brush managed to scrape out a 35-29 lead to end the half, despite allowing a 24-24 tie with just over three minutes to go before the break.
The second half proved another physical battle between the area rivals, and junior Randy Baker managed to throw in enough lay-ups and steals to send Brush over Akron 52-45 as the final frame began.
6'1 Akron junior Brady Baer swooshed in a wealth of three-point shots that put Akron up 58-59, but Brush managed to tie it up at 60 after another stealthy Baker steal, followed by the dish to Rosenbrock with just over three nail-biting minutes remaining.
Baker would pick up enough fouls from the Rams to put him on the line enough to earn 7 of 10 free throws and become the leading Brush scorer of the night with 13 points, but a tenacious Rams squad kept coming back Junior Geoffrey Dunker managed to put in one of Baker's shots off the rebound to help Brush keep a 63-60 distance and a Rosenbrock steal-turned-lay-up earned Brush a 67-61 lead with under a minute to go. Baer would continue his hot streak, sinking a three-point shot that crept the Rams up 67-64 but Brush allowed just two more Akron points before taking the final 71-66
Brush head coach Ken Garcia noted in a 1010KSIR radio interview pre-game that the depth of his bench would prove vital as the team readies for Patriot League play, noting, "I've told the team, if I could start all of you I would, but I can only start five." "We want to play a full court game and we have plenty of people on the bench," he continued, "so if I see somebody tired we have people to rotate in and we're going to need that down the road."
Garcia also gave words of advice while reminding his squad, "It's not about how tall you are, it's how hard you want the ball."
With a win over Merino and subsequent loss to Brush, the Rams now sit on a 1-1 record, while the Beetdiggers kick off their early season at 2-0.
The Brush JV also posted a second-season win, earning a 67-22 victory over Akron earlier that Saturday afternoon.
The Brush boys will take their C, JV and varsity squads to Wiggins next for a Wednesday, December 5 county match-up that will be the first game of the season for the 2A Tigers. Tip-off for that game is slated for 4:00 p.m. for the JV, with C team action set for 5:30 and varsity to start at 7:00 p.m.

Israeli President Shimon Peres touted the role of technology as an instrument for peace during a talk Wednesday at the annual Launch Conference in San Francisco.
The brief appearance at the high-tech event marked the final day of Peres' four-day tour of San Francisco and the Silicon Valley, during which he visited some of the Bay Area's top tech companies.
He is the first incumbent Israeli president to visit the Bay Area.
Peres, 88, visited Facebook headquarters in Menlo Park on Tuesday and was set to tour Google headquarters in Mountain View later Wednesday afternoon.
Speaking to a few hundred high-tech entrepreneurs, investors and experts at the San Francisco Design Center Wednesday morning, Peres answered questions from Israeli high-tech entrepreneur Yossi Vardi and Launch Conference founder Jason Calacanis.
The president said he wanted to get a first-hand glimpse of the "new ideas" coming to life among the region's top tech companies and entrepreneurs during his visit.
During the talk, Peres unveiled his own official Facebook page, which he launched during his visit to the social networking company's headquarters.
The president's page has so far drawn tens of thousands of friends, Vardi said.
When asked about the threat of war with Iran, Peres stressed the need to exhaust all "bloodless" options, such as the current economic sanctions being imposed on the country, before launching any attacks.
However, he also echoed President Barack Obama's recent statement that "no options are off the table" and called Iran a terrorist center.
"If they were to acquire a nuclear bomb, it would be a real danger," he said.
The president's talk ended on a far lighter note with the unveiling of a rap video made for his new Facebook page.
In it, Peres urges those watching to "be my friend for peace" over a backdrop of synthesized beats.

Part of my declared mission while here in SLC is to get digital copies of a number of documents, wills, birth, death and marriage records, deeds, etc.
One item on my to do list was to get a digital copy of Isaac Basye's will, which is in Northumberland County VA, signed 8th of 8th Month, 1739. OKKKKK, no problem, as I know I have a hard copy of this (not yet scanned) at the stick built and I want to see if I can get a better copy, cause, believe me, the copy I have, well, nicely stated, it STINKS!
So, I go to FamilySearch.org and look in the new catalog. Since being here in SLC, I have sorta figured out the new catalog (that said there is one huge problem with it, maybe I'll chat about it later, Becky found it and brought it to my attention.)
ANYWHOOOOOOO, I searched the new catalog, and cannot come up with what looks like a film that will have the Will. See, I was hoping to skip right to the Will Book, so as to, mmmm, save time. HAHA. OK, off to the old catalog, with YIKES, the same results. This just is not making sense to me, I know I have looked at this will on film, and have that stinking copy. My brain just is rejecting all these film numbers and such, so I fall back to plan "R", as in "plan research", which is to look at the index and see what Book and Page this Will is recorded in (nope, I don't have that recorded, blame it on my newbie days, a LONG LONG LONG time ago, when I wrote this to do list item, sighhh).
Pull the index film, and that is when the fun began. OH, can you hear the groans?? NO, well, I am surprised.
First thing up is this letter index thingy, see, there should be names beginning with "B" on page 1. (This is presuming I remember how these index thingys work, and after this experience, I am not sure I do. SIGH)
I jot down ALL the "B" pages, cause there are apparently a LOT of pages that have names that begin with "B". Below, my messy notes, I am not looking forward to looking at all these pages, but, I will, oh, yes, I will.
Then, I start looking at the pages, page 1, nope, all "A" names there and no "B's". Ohh, here we go, page 2, lots of "B" names. No matter that page 2 does not appear in the prior letter index thingy.
So, below you will see a page of "B's". Note it is page 72, and mmm, I don't have page 72 jotted down on my list above, but, what the hay, don't look a "B" in the face, eh?? Notice anything else?
So, we have one deed from 1752, and another from 1757, and then, ooops, here is one from 1756, and my goodness, all the way down at the end of the list we even had one from 1906. The names indexed are all over the place too, yep, they all start with the letter "B", but we have Ball, Blackwell, Byrd, not exactly alpha here are we?? OK, those of us that have been researching a while are not one bit surprised by this non-alpha within an alpha list. It is just one of those things we deal with. But, most indexes sorta keep the years together and most don't jump from 1752 to 1906 in one page. (Many pages are arranged this way, start at an early year, jump quickly to a later year, I really don't quite get this, but, that is the way it is.)
And, then, we have pages that have "J" names and then way down at the bottom one sole lonely "S" name. How special is this? Again, this is not that out of the ordinary, it is frustrating, but happens more than any researcher in their right mind wants to see.
This particular index is starting to look like one of the worst I have dealt with in many years and my gut told me I would be hours and hours of searching, and maybe still not find Isaac. SOOOO, I jumped to another plan. The plan ended up involving books, printed on paper and bound books, books with the basic data extracted and done at another time from these handwritten nightmares on film. It did not take me long at all to find this extraction of Isaac's will.
And with the help of this extraction I was able to retrieve a digital copy. I think it is better than what I have at home, that said, as you can see it is still lacking.
This one item on my to do list took me nearly 2.5 hours to find. But, I got my man, err, my Will.
No, I am not sure that was time well spent, but ya know how something just bothers you to no end, and you just have to figure it out. Ya, that happened here. SIGHHH Well, that's my story and I'm stickin' to it.
Now I need to transcribe the whole thing, GULP!
* Page 232 of the handwritten index has names that begin with "W", page 233 names begin with "H", page 234 more names beginning with "H", and page 235, names that begin with "Y". Page 240 we find both "I" and "J" names. Page 241, more "J" and one lonely "H" name. You can find two "Z" names at the bottom of page 288, along with 5 "L" names at the top of same. Yep, I'll bet you heard my groans!

In mid-November, John Boardman was mowing his lawn when he noticed a visitor near his home. The visitor was about 35 pounds, tan in color, and what John believed to be a cocker spaniel. John's cousin, who lives on Shady Lane Drive, had seen the visitor before, but was never able to get very close. The little guy stuck around, often hanging out near the crest of a hill at the edge of the Boardman property.
"I called the animal shelter after a few days," said John. They had gotten calls about this dog, but they couldn't get close enough to catch it after trying several times. The dog was scared of everything and everybody, and he never got within 100 feet of a person."
Animals roaming around the south side of town was not unusual according to John, who recounted multiple run-ins with stray cats, for which he keeps a cage in the basement. Something about this little dog, however, stuck with John and his wife Marilyn. They could tell he was wearing a collar, and they knew someone must be wondering where their pet was.
"I put food out for him and put water in a container with a bird bath heater under it to prevent freezing," said John. "I'd try to get him to eat, but he wouldn't come up and eat when I was around. At night, he'd come up then."
Most days when the couple woke up, the food would be gone, but it made the young dog no less afraid of humans. With the weather only getting colder, the Boardmans started to worry about the dog's safety. His fur was well overgrown, but the temperature was starting to drop below freezing regularly. The Boardmans worried so much about this little dog, it kept them up at night, thinking and wondering where the scared little dog was spending its nights. The Boardmans' neighbors had taken notice of the newcomer as well. Stella Denney had seen the dog narrowly escape being struck by a car on Peterson Drive. Bob LaMont had noticed the dog a few weeks before, as it followed him from a distance on his way to the market to get a paper each morning. Florence Draper had talked to police about the dog after they knocked on her door at 5:30 a.m. one morning after receiving a complaint of a loose dog running around her house. Draper, who told John that she doesn't like animals, but that she just couldn't sleep at night thinking about that little dog out in the cold. John decided to take things into his own hands.
Though not a huge dog, the cat cage he had in the basement was not big enough. He got a cage from the animal shelter and started putting the dog's food inside the trap. Though the dog may have been irrationally scared of humans, he was very smart. John would watch as the dog, afraid to step inside the cage, would reach in with one paw and pull the food outside before devouring his meal. As John put the food further inside the cage, the dog would reach further inside to remove it.
Afraid to step inside a structure intended for capture, John decided to build a small doghouse, hoping that it would at least give the dog a sheltered place to sleep. Not only would the dog go nowhere near the doghouse, but avoided the Boardmans' open garage and Bob LaMont's open utility shed. John once moved the dog's food dish under the overhang of his garage to keep it out of the rain, but the dog had no interest in getting that close to a building.
With no luck capturing the dog, John went to the vet seeking alternative measures.
"I went to the veterinarian and asked him 'what can I do about this dog that is so scared?" said John.
The vet sold him some tranquilizers, which he put in a small amount of wet dog food.
"He came up and ate it, and he got slowed down a bit," said John. "He'd come up closer, but you'd go out there and he wouldn't even come close. He'd go over there across the hill and lie down in the sun."
A week later, John went back to the vet for another dose. This time, the vet instructed him to give it all to him at once. The dog ate the medicated food and walked off. John went outside and waited.
"I stayed out there for, gosh, two or three hours," said John. "I about froze my buns off out there. He came up and I had a whole pocket full of treats. He'd take one out of my fingers. I'd try to touch him and I was trying to grab his collar, but it just wouldn't work."
Then came a cold, wet, winter storm.
"We had that bad snow, seven inches of snow, and it was just colder than a well digger's hind end, and I didn't know where the little guy was staying, because that was zero," said John.
John's neighbor, Florence Draper told him that she thought he was sleeping on her stoop at night. The dog had peeked in her window one night and scared her. John put a rug on the stoop and the dog slept on the rug the next two nights. The following day, John called for him to come eat, and for the first time ever, the dog came up onto the Boardmans' back porch. Before, the dog wouldn't even take food from the bottom step, only eating if his dinner was out in the open of the back yard.
Five days before Christmas, Wabash got a heavy, cold rain. John and Marilyn were sitting in their living room when they heard something at the back door.
"Marilyn said 'look there,'" said John. "He came up on the porch and looked in the window, and by golly, I couldn't believe it, he put up his paw and scraped on the window."
They opened the door and told him to come in, but once again, he was timid. He put one paw in, and then decided against it, retreating back to the porch steps. It didn't take long before he came back, putting both paws in the doorway. This time, he came inside. The Boardmans dried him off with a towel, as he was soaking wet.
"He just spun around, and he was so happy, and he jumped on me and jumped up on Marilyn and wanted petted and he ran all over," said John. "He stretched out on a pillow and just rested. From wild dog to a pet in a few minutes."
But the 35 pound tan cocker spaniel had always been a pet; he was a very scared, very confused pet that was very far from home. A quick look at his collar tag and they were able to find his identification. They got his information through the American Kennel Association (AKA) and called his owner. After two months in the elements, he was a very dirty dog. John had planned to take him to their groomer, the place he takes his two shih tzus, Candy and Eitz, but there was no time. Forty-five minutes later, his owner, Christine, pulled into their driveway.
Along with his owner's contact information, the AKA provided the little dog's name, Jasper. The one-year-old cocker spaniel had been on the loose since before Halloween. Jasper was a family pet and soon-to-be 4-H project for the family's children, but Jasper would not be entered into the Wabash County Fair, because he was not a Wabash County dog. Jasper's two-month journey had taken more than 20 miles from his home in Grant County.
"I don't know how in the world he got from there to here," said John. "I just know it ain't by taxi."
When Jasper's owner Christine came to the door and called his name, Jasper jumped up and ran over to her, showering her with affection. They spent a few minutes on the floor, Jasper rolling over to have his favorite person pet him. She showed the Boardmans how to put Jasper to sleep instantly, by rubbing a certain spot on the side of his belly. She also told them that when he's groomed, the white spot on the top of his head is actually shaped like a heart.
"She said 'oh, my daughters are going to be just absolutely thrilled when they get home from school and he's here,'" said John.
Christine's daughters had been devastated when Jasper didn't come home. She contacted animal shelters and the AKA to report that her dog was missing. Though the Wabash County Animal Shelter knew about this dog, they were never able to get close enough to make an identification or to scan the microchip implant which would have immediately alerted them to the dog's situation. John guessed this had likely been the case in Marion and other areas as well.
After a few minutes, Christine told Jasper that it was time to go. He walked to the family's van a new dog. He jumped through the sliding side door of the van and they pulled out of the driveway.
"There he was, sitting up in the passenger's seat just looking out the window just like he'd been doing that all his life," said John.
With just 5 days left until Christmas, the youngest, hairiest member of a family was reunited after months of separation.
"Why he came here, I don't know that," said John. "This is, I would say, for Florence Draper, Bob LaMont, and me personally, our greatest Christmas present."

There's also "Dance on the Mountain", an unreleased The Hope Six Demolition Project demo that was premiered on BBC Radio as part of the soundtrack to a play called On Kosovo Field.
You can download it from here.
Dance on the Mountain
Kalashnikovs were brought across
the mountain on the back of mules.
They stored their weapons in a school.
There's something wrong,
something terrifying.
And now the slopes of dry grass
hold crouching boys
watch their fathers dance.
Holding hands, they follow the drums.
Something terrifying is going on.
The oldest dancer takes off his hat
to place a glass of water on his head,
bares his teeth, wakes the dead.
This is their land they dance upon.
Something terrifying is going on.
The dancer falls to kneel before
the village elder. Stains on his shirt.
Rising up, growing strong,
the boy children start to dance.
It's terrifying.
In the distance people call
like a river running home.
In the distance people call
like a river calling out.
In the distance people call
in the oldest language known.
It's terrifying.

A Santa Barbara, Calif. Ford dealership got a bit of a surprise when a customer came in with a run-of-the-mill Chevrolet Silverado and a 1929 Ford pickup. He wanted to trade them in for two 2012 Ford F-150 pickups.
Ford said the 83-year-old truck is the oldest trade in they could find in their records.
The dealership's general manager, Walter Alfaro, hasn't decided whether or not he'll put the truck up for sale. For the time being, he has some pretty sweet eye candy for the showroom floor. Personally, I'd have to be pretty desperate for a usable work truck to actually go through with getting rid of a clean looking classic like that.
