::Making Grown Men Cry Since 1992
7 min read
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Once upon a time, Calvin of the Calvin and Hobbes comic strip made this bold declaration: "Happiness isn't good enough for me! I demand euphoria!" Given your current astrological aspects, Aries, I think you have every right to invoke that battle cry yourself. From what I can tell, there's a party underway inside your head. And I'm pretty sure it's a healthy bash, not a decadent debacle. The bliss it stirs up will be authentic, not contrived. The release and relief it triggers won't be trivial and transitory, but will generate at least one long-lasting breakthrough.TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The coming weeks will be an excellent time to ask for favors. I think you will be exceptionally adept at seeking out people who can actually help you. Furthermore, those from whom you request help will be more receptive than usual. Finally, your timing is likely to be close to impeccable. Here's a tip to aid your efforts: A new study suggests that people are more inclined to be agreeable to your appeals if you address their right ears rather than their left ears. (More info: tinyurl.com/intherightear)GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Here are your five words of power for the next two weeks, Gemini. 1. Unscramble. Invoke this verb with regal confidence as you banish chaos and restore order. 2. Purify. Be inspired to cleanse your motivations and clarify your intentions. 3. Reach. Act as if you have a mandate to stretch out, expand, and extend yourself to arrive in the right place. 4. Rollick. Chant this magic word as you activate your drive to be lively, carefree, and frolicsome. 5. Blithe. Don't take anything too personally, too seriously, or too literally.CANCER (June 21-July 22): The 17th-century German alchemist Hennig Brand collected 1,500 gallons of urine from beer-drinkers, then cooked and re-cooked it till it achieved the "consistency of honey." Why? He thought his experiment would eventually yield large quantities of gold. It didn't, of course. But along the way, he accidentally produced a substance of great value: phosphorus. It was the first time anyone had created a pure form of it. So in a sense, Brand "discovered" it. Today phosphorus is widely used in fertilizers, water treatment, steel production, detergents, and food processing. I bring this to your attention, my fellow Cancerian, because I suspect you will soon have a metaphorically similar experience. Your attempt to create a beneficial new asset will not generate exactly what you wanted, but will nevertheless yield a useful result.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In the documentary movie Catfish, the directors, Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman, present a metaphor drawn from the fishing industry. They say that Asian suppliers used to put live codfish in tanks and send them to overseas markets. It was only upon arrival that the fish would be processed into food. But there was a problem: Because the cod were so sluggish during the long trips, their meat was mushy and tasteless. The solution? Add catfish to the tanks. That energized the cod and ultimately made them more flavorful. Moral of the story, according to Joost and Schulman: Like the cod, humans need catfish-like companions to stimulate them and keep them sharp. Do you have enough influences like that in your life, Leo? Now is a good time to make sure you do.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The city of Boston allows an arts organization called Mass Poetry to stencil poems on sidewalks. The legal graffiti is done with a special paint that remains invisible until it gets wet. So if you're a pedestrian trudging through the streets as it starts to rain, you may suddenly behold, emerging from the blank grey concrete, Langston Hughes' poem "Still Here" or Fred Marchant's "Pear Tree In Flower." I foresee a metaphorically similar development in your life, Virgo: a pleasant and educational surprise arising unexpectedly out of the vacant blahs.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): When he was in the rock band Devo, Mark Mothersbaugh took his time composing and recording new music. From 1978 to 1984, he and his collaborators averaged one album per year. But when Mothersbaugh started writing soundtracks for the weekly TV show Pee-Wee's Playhouse, his process went into overdrive. He typically wrote an entire show's worth of music each Wednesday and recorded it each Thursday. I suspect you have that level of creative verve right now, Libra. Use it wisely! If you're not an artist, channel it into the area of your life that most needs to be refreshed or reinvented.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Many vintage American songs remain available today because of the pioneering musicologist, John Lomax. In the first half of the 20th century, he traveled widely to track down and record obscure cowboy ballads, folk songs, and traditional African American tunes. "Home on the Range" was a prime example of his many discoveries. He learned that song, often referred to as "the anthem of the American West," from a black saloonkeeper in Texas. I suggest we make Lomax a role model for you Scorpios during the coming weeks. It's an excellent time to preserve and protect the parts of your past that are worth taking with you into the future.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The mountain won't come to you. It will not acquire the supernatural power to drag itself over to where you are, bend its craggy peak down to your level, and give you a free ride as it returns to its erect position. So what will you do? Moan and wail in frustration? Retreat into a knot of helpless indignation and sadness? Please don't. Instead, stop hoping for the mountain to do the impossible. Set off on a journey to the remote, majestic pinnacle with a fierce song in your determined heart. Pace yourself. Doggedly master the art of slow, incremental magic. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Who can run faster, a person or a horse? There's evidence that under certain circumstances, a human can prevail. In June of every year since 1980, the Man Versus Horse Marathon has taken place in the Welsh town of Llanwrtyd Wells. The route of the race weaves 22 miles through marsh, bogs, and hills. On two occasions, a human has outpaced all the horses. According to my astrological analysis, you Capricorns will have that level of animalistic power during the coming weeks. It may not take the form of foot speed, but it will be available as stamina, energy, vitality, and instinctual savvy.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Who would have guessed that Aquarian Charles Darwin, the pioneering theorist of evolution, had a playful streak? Once he placed a male flower's pollen under a glass along with an unfertilized female flower to see if anything interesting would happen. "That's a fool's experiment," he confessed to a colleague. "But I love fools' experiments. I am always making them." Now would be an excellent time for you to consider trying some fools' experiments of your own, Aquarius. I bet at least one of them will turn out to be both fun and productive.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In Shakespeare's play MacBeth, three witches brew up a spell in a cauldron. Among the ingredients they throw in there is the "eye of newt." Many modern people assume this refers to the optical organ of a salamander, but it doesn't. It's actually an archaic term for "mustard seed." When I told my Piscean friend John about this, he said, "Damn! Now I know why Jessica didn't fall in love with me." He was making a joke about how the love spell he'd tried hadn't worked. Let's use this as a teaching story, Pisces. Could it be that one of your efforts failed because it lacked some of the correct ingredients? Did you perhaps have a misunderstanding about the elements you needed for a successful outcome? if so, correct your approach and try again.Homework: Even if you don't send it, write a letter to the person you admire most. Share it with me at email@example.com.

American Thinker
written by Scott Strzelczyk and Richard Rothschild
October 28, 2009
Most Americans are unaware that one of the greatest threats to their freedom may be a United Nations program known as Agenda 21. The United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Division for Sustainable Development created Agenda 21 as a sustainability agenda which is arguably an amalgamation of socialism and extreme environmentalism brushed with anti-American, anti-capitalist overtones.
A detailed history on sustainable development, definitions, and critical actions can be found here. Section III of the Agenda 21 Plan addresses local community sustainable development. The Preamble and Chapter 28 discuss how Agenda 21 should be implemented at a local level. The United Nations purposely recommends avoiding the term Agenda 21 and suggests a cleverly named alternative: "smart growth." The United Nations Millennium Papers - Issue 2 (page 5) says this of Agenda 21 and smart growth:
Participating in a UN-advocated planning process would very likely bring out many of the conspiracy-fixated groups and individuals in our society such as the National Rifle Association, citizen militias and some members of Congress. This segment of our society who fear 'one-world government' and a UN invasion of the United States through which our individual freedom would be stripped away would actively work to defeat any elected official who joined 'the conspiracy' by undertaking LA21. So, we call our process something else, such as comprehensive planning, growth management, or smart growth [emphasis added].
Undoubtedly, residents of any town, county, or city in the United States that treasure their freedom, liberty, and property rights couldn't care less whether it's called Agenda 21 or smart growth. A recent example of this can be found in Carroll County, Maryland, where a smart growth plan called Pathways was drafted by the County Planning Department. The plan, if enacted, proposed a breathtaking reshuffling of land rights:
- Rezoning of thousands of acres of beautiful, low-density agricultural farmland and protected residential conservation land into office parks
- Down-zoning of agriculture land to prevent future subdivision by farmers
- Up-zoning of low-density residential land around small towns into higher density zoning to permit construction of hundreds or possibly thousands of inclusive housing units, including apartments and condominiums
- Inclusive housing with placement of multi-family construction on in-fill lots within existing residential single family communities
- Endorsement of government-sponsored housing initiatives (subsidies) to ensure healthier, balanced neighborhoods
Carroll County, Maryland is one of 1,168 cities, towns, and counties worldwide that are members of the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) - Local Governments for Sustainability, which is an international association of local governments as well as national and regional local government organizations that have made a commitment to sustainable development. The ICLEI mission statement closely resembles that of Agenda 21. In fact, the ICLEI has Special Consultative Status with the UN Economic and Social Council and coordinates local government representation in the UN processes related to Agenda 21.
Community leaders working together in Carroll County recently defended their county against overreaching smart growth initiatives. Richard Rothschild, a candidate for Commissioner, emphatically remarks, "Smart growth is not science; it is political dogma combined with an insidious dose of social engineering. Smart growth is a wedding wherein zoning code is married with government-sponsored housing initiatives to accomplish government's goal of social re-engineering. It urbanizes rural towns with high-density development, and gerrymanders population centers through the use of housing initiatives that enable people with weak patterns of personal financial responsibility to acquire homes in higher-income areas. This has the effect of shifting the voting patterns of rural municipalities from Right to Left."
Smart growth plans usurp property rights and constitutional rights. Local officials, at the behest of State Government, revise zoning laws to fit into a "smart code" zoning template. A massive reshuffling of property rights ensues. Farmers may lose subdivision rights; conservation land adjacent to population centers may be rezoned into commercial employment centers; and low-density land in small towns is re-designated as growth area and rezoned to accommodate diverse housing including high-density apartments and condominiums.
Finally, a healthy dose of federal- or state-sponsored housing initiatives is embraced to ensure communities are properly balanced. The net effect of these plans is to create highly urbanized population centers throughout otherwise-rural counties, while simultaneously limiting the availability of land for suburban and estate subdivisions, as these are considered an unsustainable waste of land by Agenda 21 disciples.
Clearly, smart growth plans will impact Americans' future choices in where and how they live. Furthermore, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other federal and state agencies may attempt to deny grant funds to states and cities that do not adopt smart growth plans.
Most Americans will remain unaware of the implications of smart growth and Agenda 21 until after it is promulgated in their own backyards. Ironically, these plans are more insidious than the Eminent Domain ruling by the Supreme Court in the case of Kelo v City of New London. Under Eminent Domain rulings, property owners usually receive compensation for their losses.
Conversely, smart growth municipal plans, required by statute, enable municipalities to change zoning laws and engage in other regulatory actions that devalue property, restrict off-conveyances, and otherwise erode property values without payment of any compensation to the property owner.
Smart growth has another interesting unintended consequence: it can disrupt conventional alliances and lead to strange political bedfellows. Rural urbanization plans may raise the ire of environmental groups while simultaneously stirring the wrath of both conservative and liberal residents that want to maintain the rural fabric of their communities. Conversely, developers, sensing opportunity, may side with government smart growth bureaucrats in support of these plans.
Regardless of political orientation, two indisputable facts remain. Agenda 21 is a direct assault on private property rights and American sovereignty, and it is coming to a neighborhood near you.

Klang is of course, most famous as the epicenter of bak kut teh, but hidden in this town that is notorious for producing a large number of ah bengs & gangstas is also a one of a kind restaurant that serves very unique pork ribs rice.
The restaurant is Peng Heong Hakka Paikut (or pai kuat in Cantonese, which means pork ribs). I've actually covered this place back in the first year of this blog, but since then, the little shack has moved into a big corner restaurant, and the menu has expanded too. So I suppose it warrants a rewrite. 😀
Peng Heong Hakkai Paikut at Klang
The restaurant is situated just off Jalan Pasar, and unlike the old location, now there is ample parking. Furthermore, weather is not a factor anymore, the place is clean, well ventilated, and with good hygiene.
The menu is filled with picture and price for every dish, and ordering is done via wireless device from the server straight to the kitchen. If you think Klang is the backwater of Selangor, this might change your mind, might.
the all important pork ribs, succulent and full of flavor
The star here is obviously the pork ribs. Priced from RM 8 to RM 20, they are succulent, sweet, and absolutely delicious. The ribs are mostly de-boned too so there's plenty of meat in this plate of goodness. The taste is a bit strong if you have it as is, but with rice, it's heaven.
chai buih, rice with dark  soya sauce, pork tripes soup, asam fish
Other than pork ribs, the chai buih is a must order. Take it as a Chinese version of kimchi, spicy, sour, and full of kick. Over here they have it proper, and anyone who loves chai buih shouldn't ever miss this one.
The asam fish and pork tripe soup too are of pretty good quality around here, they make very good complimentary dishes and provides a good change of taste.
the drinks usually comes in big bottles to be shared, love the soya bean
Missing from the photos is the pork knuckle in vinegar that we tried on another visit. It has some of the fattest pork knuckle in arguably the most sourish vinegar "soup" that I've tried. I love it!
We usually spend about RM 14-20 per person per visit. Pretty reasonable pricing for what you get, so don't just go to Klang for bak kut teh ya!
Peng Heong Hakka Paikut Restaurant
No 2, Lorong Gudang Nanas,
Off Jalan Pasar, 41400 Klang

New Apple iMac brings Thunderbolt, next-gen quad-core processors
Today, Apple announced updated iMac desktops with second-generation Intel Core processors and Thunderbolt interconnect technology. The new iMacs are available in the familiar 21.5-inch and larger 27-inch form factors, starting at $1,199 for the 21.5-inch model with an Intel Core i5, AMD Radeon HD 6750M graphics, and a 500GB hard drive.
Thunderbolt is Apple's implementation of Intel's Lightpath interconnect technology, first seen on Apple's MacBook Pro laptops. As before, Thunderbolt on the iMac is compatible with USB, FireWire, and Gigabit Ethernet via adapters. Thunderbolt supports mini DisplayPort monitors without an adapter, and can support (via adapters) VGA, DVI, HDMI, and full-sized DisplayPort with an adapter. Thunderbolt has a theoretical 10Gbps throughput, so it can accommodate all of these interconnects simultaneously using only one port. The iMac 21.5-inch models come with one Thunderbolt port, while the 27-inch features two Thunderbolt ports.
On the software side, all new iMacs come with Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, along with Apple's iLife '11 software (iPhoto, iMovie, iTunes, GarageBand, etc.). New for the iMac line is the inclusion of FaceTime HD, which allows video chat with FaceTime equipped iPhone 4, iPod Touch, and iPad 2 devices.
All iMacs are EPEAT Gold certified and meet Energy Star 5.2 requirements. The iMac's LED backlit display is mercury free and Apple uses PVC free cables and components. The new iMacs use Apple's familiar aluminum and glass chassis, and come with a SD card slot, wireless keyboard, and a choice of Apple's Magic Mouse or Magic Trackpad.
The new iMacs are available now through Apple Stores, store.apple.com, and authorized Apple Retailers. The base 21.5-inch iMac starts at $1,199 and $1,499, the base 27-inch iMac starts at $1,699 and $1,999. Configure to order options include high end Intel Core i7 processors, 2TB hard drives, 256GB SSD, additional system memory, and AppleCare.
If you're not looking for the latest and greatest, new iMacs also mean that there will be a ton of cheap iMacs hitting eBay.

AMARILLO, Texas, Feb. 26 (UPI) -- "Heart attack snow" struck the Chicago area Tuesday, along with sleet and freezing rain, prompting a winter weather advisory.
A major winter storm made travel hazardous and grounded hundreds of flights, the Chicago Tribune reported.
The National Weather Service said in its advisory, "Snowfall rates in excess of an inch per hour could occur at times," with 3 to 6 inches by Wednesday morning. "This will likely be a heavy wet snow sometimes referred to as heart attack snow."
The newspaper said FlightStats reported nearly 500 flights had been canceled at O'Hare International Airport and 183 at Midway International Airport.
The Illinois State Police Chicago District instituted its emergency snow plan and Chicago's Streets and Sanitation Department deployed its entire fleet of 284 plows
Extra plows were being deployed to the 2nd Congressional District because of Tuesday's primary election.
The complex but powerful winter storm, after pounding the High Plains, expanded northeastward Tuesday from Missouri to Iowa and Illinois.
Hundreds of flights were canceled due to the storm and major highways were clogged.
Earlier, at the height of the storm, the National Weather Service said blizzard conditions punished the Central and Southern Plains. Blizzard warnings were issued for northern Texas through portions of western and central Oklahoma into southern Kansas.
The forecasters said the storm next will pivot toward the Northeast.
Though the storm is expected to deliver only rain to the coast, it is expected to cause an array of bad weather, from heavy snow to a wintry mix and rain inland and farther north, AccuWeather.com reported. Locally, the nature of the precipitation could change several times from rain to snow and back.
The worst of the storm was expected in southern New England, where a combination of melting snow and rain could lead to flooding.
Rain was forecast from Washington to Philadelphia to New York City, AccuWeather said, setting up the potential for travel delays into the night along the Interstate-95 corridor.
The report said much of the New York Thruway and Southern Tier Expressway in New York, as well as part of I-80 in Pennsylvania also could be affected by rain. On northern portions of I-95, much of I-92 and northern I-87 and I-91, a wintry mix could cause problems.

The app, "Fantastic World of Frogs," is an image gallery of frogs for the Nokia N9 Smartphone and allows users to view spectacular photos of frogs, discover their habitat in the Colombian rainforest, and learn more about these incredible creatures.
Users can also learn about conservation breakthroughs that the corresponding SOS-sponsored project "Protecting and restoring key sites for globally threatened amphibians," in partnership with Conservation International (CI), delivered. The app highlights CI's work with their local NGO partner, Fundación ProAves, in the biodiversity hotspot Chocó of Colombia.
Users of the IUCN Smartphone app can also enjoy the adventures of conservation hero Robin Moore, project leader and Programme Manager of IUCN's Amphibian Specialist Group and amphibian conservation officer at CI. Amphibians are the most threatened group of vertebrates in the world, with over 41% threatened with extinction, according to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™. The goal of the new app is to drive awareness of the plight of frogs and introduce users to the diversity of Colombian frog species.
"Frogs are sensitive barometers of environmental health," says Robin Moore. "As a group they are heavily threatened by habitat loss, and combining photography with technology is a fun way of highlighting our approach to protecting critical habitats with a behind-the-scenes look at conservation in action."
Nokia is lead sponsor of SOS and, in addition to supporting conservation projects, helps raise awareness of the importance of species protection by the use of innovative mobile technology. SOS aims to build a global coalition in order to halt the loss of biodiversity, and they invite other innovative businesses across all industries to join in the initiative.
"Amphibians provide many important services to humans such as controlling insects that spread disease and damage crops – they also form a beautiful group of animals harboring an amazing diversity of colors, making them outstanding ambassadors for wildlife conservation, says Jean-Christophe Vié, Deputy Director of IUCN's Global Species Programme and SOS Director. "We need targeted conservation to protect these species. Fantastic World of Frogs is an amazing tool that helps us promote amphibian preservation."
"We were the first company to join the SOS initiative. We believe that mobile applications offer a fantastic opportunity to raise awareness on environmental issues. This new app is a great way to teach people about the importance that frogs have in the ecosystem," says Outi Mikkonen, Director, Stakeholder Engagement at Nokia.

You just received a new load of hay in to your barn. It smells so good, and looks just like the last load you got from your regular supplier. But is it really the same? While it might be similar, growing and harvesting conditions vary with every single cutting, and that can have an impact on the nutrition contained in that sweet-smelling pile of bales in front of you.
Generally speaking, the differences aren't going to be very big – but the next time your horse mysteriously starts losing weight, or losing muscle condition over his topline, you might want to question your hay supplier or get your hay tested.
For example – if your hay got rained on after it was cut, the rain can shatter the leaves, which is where much of the highly digestible protein is found in your hay. And given how much of your horse's daily diet is made up of hay, a small decrease in protein can have a big impact. Let's take a look at the math behind this:
A 1000 lb horse should eat 1.5-2.0% of its body weight per day in forage – that's 15-20 lbs!
- Hay A has 10% protein: 20 lbs of hay x 0.10 protein = 2 lbs of protein intake per day
- Hay B has 8% protein: 20 lbs of hay x 0.08 protein = 1.6 lbs of protein intake per day
In this scenario, you'd have to feed an extra 5 lbs of Hay B per day to be feeding the same total protein as Hay A provides!
But how much difference does this really make, you ask? If your horse's intake is already on the low end of protein requirements for his size and activity level, then a 2% drop in hay protein would potentially show up in 2 to 6 weeks. Over that time, all else being consistent, a decrease in general muscle tone, and muscling over the topline, will start to appear. Fortunately, it's pretty easy to combat – in many cases, simply tossing in an extra flake or two of hay per day, or adding a ration balancer or 1 – 2 lbs of grain per day, at feeding time will combat the decreases – and what horse won't love you for that?

Chess Piece Details
3" Heritage Collection Mark of Westminster Crimson Rosewood Earl Staunton Chess Pieces
The Mark of Westminster Heritage Collection features some of the finest heirloom quality chess men available today. These chess pieces are extremely well weighted and each set includes extra queens. These Staunton chess sets feature the finest hand carved detail possible as well as red leather bases. Each set includes a certificate of authenticity as well as the Mark of Westminster logo beneath each king.This is the small Crimson Rosewood and Boxwood version of the Earl design, and is best suited for 1 3/4" - 2" chess boards.
Earl Design:
The very heavy Earl pieces are a fairly traditional Staunton design with emphasis on the knight. The knight has a well detailed main and perked, upright ears. The slightly open mouth shows the teeth of the horse, and the extended back gives the illusion of the piece being in motion.
These chess pieces are Crimson Rosewood and Boxwood, which are most often paired with Mahogany and Macassar chess boards, but will also go with most dark woods as well.
Crimson Rosewood Chess Pieces vary from a light red to a deep red wine color, and is well regarded as one of the most exclusive exotic woods used for chess pieces. It is a hard wood, with a strong grain variation. The wide variety of colors make them quite unique, with the age of wood being the most common factor in the difference. This is a premier hardwood, compared most often in price to Ebony.
Boxwood Chess Pieces are the near universal standard for 'white' chess pieces in hand-carved sets. It is a fairly easy wood to work with, and shows off good detail.

I found out a piece of really cool news recently - Mike Curtis, a.k.a. former TV horror host Count Basil, will be taking over the writing duties for the Dick Tracy comic strip!
If you remember I interviewed Mike for Scary Monsters magazine, and also reprinted the interview here. Mike will be taking over the writing duties in March after longtime writer/cartoonist Dick Locher retires.
Also joining Mike on the Tracy strip is another Tennessean, artist Joe Staton. Curtis and Staton's work will appear in print beginning the week of March 14.
Here's a couple of lines from an article that ran in the Jackson Sun paper:
In December, both men learned they would be taking over "Dick Tracy." Curtis is the strip's writer; Staton will do all the artwork. Colleagues Shelley Pledger and Shane Fisher will do the lettering and inking and Sunday coloring, respectively.
"It was shock and awe," Curtis said. "Dick Locher has won multiple Pulitzer prizes for his editorial cartoons. It's incredible."
Staton was happy and relieved.
"I said, 'It's about time,'" he said. "I've been wanting to do this since I was 3 years old. It's been a while."
You can read the rest of the interview here:
Congratulations Mike and Joe!

Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber is considering legislation that would declare a public safety emergency in some Oregon counties where residents often have been left to try to fend for themselves.
The measure would also impose a temporary income tax on residents of counties unable to pay for public safety workers due to budget cuts.
"The state has an interest in maintaining a network of public safety throughout Oregon," said Amy Wojcicki, a spokesperson for the governor, in an e-mail statement to CNN.
Josephine County, where there is one sheriff and three deputies to serve 80,000 people, would be one of those affected.
The shortage of officers and the department's limited hours led to an incident in August that helped prompt state legislators to take action, CNN affiliate KOBI reported.
A woman was assaulted by her ex-boyfriend after she called 911 and tried to get an officer at her home.
Her call was transferred to the state police because the sheriff's department isn't staffed 24 hours a day or seven days a week, the station said. A dispatcher for the state police said, "Uh, I don't have anybody to send out there. You know, obviously, if he comes inside the residence and assaults you, can you ask him to go away?"
The man was arrested later that day, was later convicted and is imprisoned, KOBI reported.
Her distress call is not the only that has come in with officials unable to help, the station said.
On Tuesday, residents of Josephine County, shot down a measure to increase property taxes to increase funding for their depleted sheriff department, court security, animal control and juvenile justice.
The tax levy, voted down by 539 votes, would have provided a $9.6 million yearly fund over three years.
"It would have allowed us a calm breathing room to arrive a better funding source," County Commissioner Keith Heck told CNN.
The average increase per homeowner would have been about $200 a year, explained Heck.
"We have had a history of people being very protective of having the lowest property tax in the state of Oregon. There has to be a groundswell of people that will be able to move those folks into a minority," said Heck, who expressed frustration at the fact that 49% of registered voters in the county did not vote.
But as Heck explained, there is a very popular sentiment in the community of taking the law into your own hands.
"And that is all fine and dandy until you have to shoot somebody. But you better make sure you have shot him in accordance with the law because in an effort to save yourself $200 a year, you could lose everything you have. This is a real myopic view that permeates many folks in the community. They see only their situation instead of the community structure. They think, 'I will prospect only my land,'" Heck said.
Commissioner Simon Hare told KOBI that Oregon doesn't need to step in.
"I'm never for authority being usurped by the state," he said. "I think we are best in a position to reflect the will of the people here and I always advocate for local control."
Josephine County's budget was dependent on a federal subsidy program, which dispersed money to offset shrinking timber receipts to 33 counties in the state, he said. It dried up last year, and the county has not received any funding this year.
The federal government owns 70 percent of the land (which cannot be taxed by local governments) in the mostly forested county, where the last mill recently closed.
But even if Kitzhaber and Oregon lawmakers pass the public safety emergency bill, local legislative leaders and the county's governing body would have to consent to it.
That is a conversation, Heck said, that hasn't happened yet.
CNN's Stefan Simon contributed to this report.

Pierce County officials have released the numbers showing the U.S. Open's economic impact on the county. The financial summary shows Pierce County incurred about $3.9 million in overall expenses and saw just over $5 million in revenue, resulting in a net gain of approximately $1.1 million.
"The second quarter numbers are right on track with what the County expected," said Tony Tipton, Director of the Pierce County Parks and Recreation Department, which oversees Chambers Creek Regional Park where the golf course is located. "We're pleased that the success of the Open proved to be an economic stimulus for Pierce County."
The County is proposing to direct most of the net funds toward paying down the roughly $3.7 million in debt Chambers Bay incurred during the Great Recession. Greens fees as well as merchandise, food and beverage purchases projected over the next three years are expected to further reduce that amount.
"The bottom line is that the 2015 U.S. Open was a great event and we want to see it return," said Pierce County Executive Pat McCarthy. "These are just Pierce County's numbers. We expect the results of an independent study on the Open's economic impact to the Puget Sound region and the state to be released soon."
Pierce County wants to hear from you. Please select one of the following to talk to elected officials and staff, or to report problems in our community.

Will scaling a recipe down to 1 gallon (i.e.: dividing the amount of each ingredient by 5) produce a pretty close approximation of the results of a full 5 gallon batch? Are there any additional considerations in brewing such a small batch?
I'd like to do some small experimental batches over the winter, using a 2-gallon stockpot on the stovetop instead of my usual brew kettle on an outdoor burner setup. I want to make sure they're pretty close to what a 5-gallon would end up like (esp. taste) so I can decide whether to go ahead with full batches of these recipes in the spring.

I do not like Susan Boyle and I don't care what her story is the bottom line is she's not a great singer. If she'd walked out on that stage blonde and attractive, she wouldn't have made it past the first round of Britain's Got Talent. She's there because she came out looking a hot mess and it was surprising for her to sing well. She's not a bad singer, but she's not great or anywhere near what the media has made her out to be.
If there hadn't been such a media frenzy around her, I really don't think she'd have made it through the second round of public votes either. There are rumours she is going to quit the show or be told to leave and honestly, I hope she does.
There are some people who are actually talented and not just awkward and with a sad story to tell. I know the viewers of BGT vote for little kids and sob-stories, but COME ON! At least vote for the little kids/sob story that has talent, not the one who doesn't. These are my favorite finalists so far in no particular order:
Who should have made it through:
Two more finalists get picked tonight, but I still think Natalie should have made it through. It won't let me embed the video but you can see her precocious performance here. Now tell me Susan Boyle is better than her? That's right you can't.

Can you go 24 hours without any tech?
National Day of Unplugging asks you to go on a tech detox for 24 hours. Crave's chief correspondent is taking the plunge. Will you?
Not to sound like an old lady, but back in my day, when I wanted to hang out with friends, I'd call them up on a landline phone. Dinners out never involved a group of four or five people looking down at their phones or checking into a social network, and if I had a paper to write for school, I'd go to the library and do the research using -- gasp -- books!
Of course, today, that's all changed with the rise of the Internet and devices like smartphones and tablets. There's no doubt technology has enriched our lives in so many ways, but it's also created a culture in which we're often more consumed with our gadgets and the digital world than we are with real people and the outside world. So what would you do if you didn't have access to any of your gadgets? Care to find out?
Reboot, a nonprofit group whose mission is to "reboot" cultures, traditions, and rituals in the Jewish tradition of Sabbath (a day of rest), is asking people to take a break from tech for 24 hours by participating in a National Day of Unplugging.
Now in its third year of celebration, National Day of Unplugging 2012 starts at sunset on March 23 and ends at sunset on March 24, and Reboot encourages participants to use the 24-hour tech detox as time to reconnect with friends and family, go outside, focus on your health, give back, meditate, and more.
I've written before that I'm all for taking the time to unplug. I'm pretty good about not checking my smartphone when I'm out with friends, but I'm making more of a conscious effort not to be tethered to it at other times too, like when I'm at home or on the bus.
That said, I still use it a lot to check e-mail and my social networks -- and my newfound obsession with Draw Something is definitely not helping the cause. Also, when I come home, I instantly turn on the TV -- sometimes I don't even watch it, I just like having it on in the background. Obviously, I could do a lot more to unplug, which is why I've decided to take the pledge.
Reboot doesn't explicitly define what unplugging means, simply stating "find the balance that works for you" and leaving it up to participants to decide. I'll be turning off my phone, laptop, and TV. I don't think I'll have any problems being without TV and my laptop, but I am a little nervous being sans smartphone for 24 hours (crap, maybe I truly am nomophobic). I've got several plans this weekend, so it's going to be interesting coordinating with friends without my smartphone.
I also love, love, love music, and am not sure how I'll survive without it (I suppose I'll have to resort to serenading myself in the shower).
I'll be chronicling my adventures this weekend (with pen and paper, of course), so check back Monday to see if I survived National Day of Unplugging. If you want to participate yourself, you can take the pledge here. Also, let us know in the comments section below if you plan to or not and why.

Fire Station 6 - Miller Park
Other Link | Station 6 Apparatus |
Located at 2084 Fort Avenue, Station 6 is currently the oldest active station in the Fire Department and is the only station that still utilizes a sliding pole.
When Station 6 opened in November of 1914, a new Engine Company, Engine 6 was placed in service to provide fire protection to the Fort Hill section of the city. Built during the tenure of Chief Sandidge, the construction of the station took almost two years to complete. Although the station wasn't opened until November of 1914, the building carries a date of 1912. Over the years it has been speculated that the city built the building in Campbell County with the intention of annexing later. This is not the case. At the time that the station was built, the city limits were at Wythe Road and had been at this location since 1908. The city would not have another significant annexation until 1926.
With the purchase of the Chief's car in 1913, the department had begun its foray into motorized apparatus. With Engine 6 being an all-new Company, Chief Sandidge decided that the new station would be built to accommodate motorized apparatus, thereby breaking the tradition of horse drawn apparatus. When the time came for the department to purchase its first piece of motorized apparatus, Engine 6 was the recipient. Chosen for this piece of apparatus was a 1914 American LaFrance chain driven pumper purchased for the sum of $6000. This particular engine would remain in service until another American LaFrance, a 1926 model, replaced it.
In the early 1930s following the closure Station 3 on Church Street, Station 6 became the home to Engine 3. These two engines would share quarters until 1968 when a new station 3 was built and Engine 3 was relocated.
During the tenure of Chief Rap in the 1920s and 1930s, Station 6 was the scene of many training exercises. Because of the location and height of the hose tower, Chief Rapp routinely used this tower for ladder evolution and training exercises. Pictures of these training exercises show firefighters scaling the outside of the tower by utilizing scaling ladders hooked over the sills of the windows at each level of the tower.
For the next 20 years, very little would change at Station 6. Following the departure of Engine 3 in 1968, Station 6 reverted back to a single company station.
In 1976 following the addition of EMS to the Fire Department, Station 6 would become the home to Medic 6, the second of two medic units placed in service. Following 46 years at Station 1, in 1976 Engine 7 was relocated to Station 6 where it would remain until Station 7 was built in 1980.
After Engine 7 was relocated in 1980, it was decided that Engine 9 would be relocated to Station 6. As a result of annexation, Engine 9 was originally placed in service in 1976 at Station 4. Engine 9 would remain in service until 1996 when it was placed out of service and its manpower utilized to place Truck Company 2 in service at Station 7.
Station 6 is currently the home to Engine 6 and Medic 6.

Developers could sneak annoying pop-up ads or phishing attacks into mobile apps via design flaw in Android, according to researchers.
LAS VEGAS–Researchers have discovered what they say is a design flaw in Android that could be used by criminals to steal data via phishing or by advertisers to bring annoying pop-up ads to phones.
Developers can create apps that appear to be innocuous but which can display a fake bank app log-in page, for instance, when the user is using the legitimate bank app, Nicholas Percoco, senior vice president and head of SpiderLabs at Trustwave, said ahead of his presentation on the research at the DefCon hacker conference today.
Currently, apps that want to communicate with the user while a different app is being viewed just push an alert to the notification bar on the top of the screen. But there is an application programming interface in Android´s Software Development Kit that can be used to push a particular app to the foreground, he said.
"Android allows you to override the standard for (hitting) the back buttons," said Sean Schulte, SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) developer at Trustwave.
"Because of that, the app is able to steal the focus and you´re not able to hit the back button to exit out," Percoco said, adding that they´ve named the issue the Focus Stealing Vulnerability.
The researchers have created a proof-of-concept tool that is a game but also triggers fake displays for Facebook, Amazon, Google Voice, and the Google e-mail client. The tool installs itself as part of a payload inside a legitimate app and registers as a service so it comes back up after the phone reboots, Percoco said.
In a demo showing a user opening up the app and seeing the log-in screen for Facebook, the only indication that something odd has happened is a screen blip so quick many users wouldn´t notice. The fake screen completely replaces the legitimate one, so a user wouldn´t be able to tell that anything is out of place.
With this design flaw, game or app developers can create targeted pop-up ads, Percoco said. The ads could be merely annoying, like most pop-ups are, but they could also be targeted to pop up an ad when a competitor´s app is being used, he added.
"So the whole world of ads fighting with each other on the screen is possible now," said Percoco, who along with Christian Papathanasiou, demonstrated an Android rootkit at DefCon last year.
The functionality would not raise any red flags in the permissions displayed when the user downloads the app because it is a legitimate function for apps to check the phone state in what is called the Activity Service, according to Schulte.
Percoco said the researchers spoke to someone at Google about their findings a few weeks ago and that the individual acknowledged that there was an issue and said the company was trying to figure out how to address it without breaking any functionality of legitimate apps that may be using it.
When contacted for comment, a Google representative said he would look into the matter.
Update August 8, 2011 at 3:50 p.m. PT A Google spokesman provided this statement: "Switching between applications is a desired capability used by many applications to encourage rich interaction between applications. We haven´t seen any apps maliciously using this technique on Android Market and we will remove any apps that do."
The Google spokesman also directed CNET to Visidon´s AppLock as an example of how that functionality is used. The app uses facial recognition technology to prevent unauthorized access to parts of your phone, such as your Gmail app. The legitimate use of the functionality described in the vulnerability in this example would slide AppLock´s password-requesting interface over Gmail´s when you tap it. Since AppLock uses your face as its password, it would slide on, allow your face to be recognized as the approved password, and then slide away.
Update August 8, 2011 at 7:40 p.m. PT Percoco´s response to the Google statement: "Application switching is not the issue. The real issue is ability for other apps to identify which app is in the foreground and then decide to jump in front of that running app without the user giving it permission to do so. We also don´t see how they could determine the difference between a malicious app or a legitimate one since they would both look almost identical until a user reports it to them as malicious. The ´wait until an app is reported bad before removing´ stance is dangerous and will likely prove out to be a fruitless effort as attackers could post apps much faster than Google could identify and remove them from the Market."
CNET´s Seth Rosenblatt contributed to this report.

Shorter days and colder weather means most people aren't thinking about spending large amounts of time in their garden. However, February is the perfect month to plant cool season leafy vegetables or root plants, like cabbage, beets and carrots. These nutrient-rich plants are packed with healthy antioxidants and vitamins and make the perfect addition to a hot bowl of soup. If you aren't game to play outdoors, cold winter months are a great time to stay inside and start planning for summer garden fruit and vegetable bounties.
If you're like most people you're probably already dreaming about summer fruits and vegetables, like tomatoes, sweet corn, blackberries and chard. Follow these three simple tips and you'll be rewarded come summertime with enough homegrown fare to fill your fridge and preserve to carry you through the year.
Step one: plan
Instead of dreaming about a summer harvest, start planning now! Don't get caught up in the seductive call of seed packets or the dreaded 'transplant trap.' This happens when you head to your local nursery without a plan for your garden and leave with 20 plants you've never heard of before.
With California in an official drought, consider planting varieties that require less water. Some great examples of drought-tolerant plants include herbs (rosemary, sage and thyme), asparagus, eggplant, melons, squash and goji berries. Think about Mediterranean flavors, many of these varieties require less water and do well in California's hot, dry climate.
Think outside the box – it doesn't have to be just about fruits and vegetables. What does your family love to eat? Do they love spaghetti? Consider focusing on a good crop of tomatoes, peppers, onions and oregano. You can harvest enough to preserve homemade marinara for the remainder of the year. Add some jalapenos to this garden mix and you have all of the ingredients for delicious salsa, another favorite that is easily preserved.
Step two: prioritize
The size of your garden will depend on available space. When planning a smaller garden, typically 10 by 10 feet or less - prioritize with fruits and vegetables that your family will eat AND that have high or continuous yields. The goal is to produce the largest quantity possible with your available resources (space, water). Great options include tomatoes, bush beans, summer squash, chard and cucumbers. In a small space, avoid crops that monopolize precious garden space like potatoes, watermelon, cabbage and artichoke. Rather, consider purchasing these tasty delights from a local farmers market.
Expand your garden's reach by incorporating edibles into your landscaping or containers. Edible landscaping is the use of food plants as design features in a landscape. Edible plants can be used both for aesthetic value as well as consumption. Blueberries, raspberries and strawberries can be expensive to buy at the supermarket, but are easy to grow at home. Visit The California Garden web for information on garden planning and individual plant spacing requirements.
Step three: prepare
Attend a UC Master Food Preserver class and learn how to manage your fruits and vegetables once they arrive from your garden and move into your kitchen. The UC Master Food Preserver (MFP) Program is a public service community outreach program focused on providing up-to-date information on food safety and preservation. Monthly classes are available, and most are free or low-cost to the public.
Preservation techniques include:
- Freezing (berries, onions, broccoli, rhubarb)
- Drying (fresh herbs, kale, root crops, peas)
- Canning (tomatoes, green beans, corn, strawberries)
Master Food Preservers have delicious recipes for salsa, corn relish, pickles, jams, jellies and much more! Winter months are the perfect time to start calendaring Master Food Preserver classes, collecting recipes and cataloging ideas for preserving your summer bounty. Find preserving research, resources or find a local UCCE Master Food Preserver class near you at on the UC Food Safety website.
With the proper planning, prioritizing, and preparation the activity level in your kitchen will be as hot as or even hotter than the temperature outside come summer harvest!

George Zimmerman helps family out of overturned SUV
(CNN) -- Four days after he was acquitted of murder, George Zimmerman stepped out of seclusion to help a family get out of an overturned vehicle in Florida, authorities said Monday.
Zimmerman and another man helped four people get out of an SUV that had overturned Wednesday evening in Sanford, the same community where the former neighborhood watch volunteer fatally shot teenager Trayvon Martin in 2012, Seminole County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Heather Smith said.
Callers to 911 described a dramatic scene: An SUV lost control in the area of Interstate 4 and State Road 46, flipping on its side and sliding into a median.
Several callers said they saw people helping a family trapped inside the overturned SUV, according to audio recordings released by the sheriff's office.
"There was tons of smoke ... people were starting to rush towards the vehicle," one caller said.
"They got everyone out of the car," another caller reported. About a minute later, the caller said, it looked like the vehicle was catching fire.
By the time a deputy arrived, Zimmerman and another man already had helped the two adults and two children out of the vehicle, Smith said.
Zimmerman did not witness the crash, and he left after making contact with the deputy, Smith said. No injuries were reported in the crash.
Zimmerman has been out of the public eye since a jury found him not guilty of second degree murder on July 13. His parents told ABC News last week that their family has received an "enormous amount of death threats."
He fatally shot Martin in the Sanford neighborhood where Zimmerman and Martin's father lived in February 2012. Zimmerman, who is Hispanic, had a confrontation with the unarmed African-American teen after calling police to report a suspicious person, and he said he shot Martin in self-defense.
The case became a flash point in debates over racial profiling, and thousands attended vigils across the country over the weekend, decrying the verdict.
Shawn Vincent, a spokesman for George Zimmerman's legal defense team, said when Zimmerman spoke with his attorneys on Friday, the car wreck didn't come up.
The defense team, Vincent said, first heard of Zimmerman's involvement when media reports surfaced Monday.

A man who was required to visit a notorious British Columbia prison as part of a "scared straight" program has been awarded $175,000 in damages for a sexual assault that happened during the tour.
The man, only identified by his initials in the judgment, was 14 in the late 1970s when he was placed on probation for breaking and entering.
The B.C. Supreme Court decision says as part of his probation he was required to take a tour of the now-closed Oakalla prison and was sexually assaulted after a corrections officer forced him into a cell with five inmates.
The man's lawsuit named the British Columbia government and Roderic MacDougall, a former prison guard who was convicted for indecent and sexual assaults against prisoners.

Justice Jennifer Duncan ruled the sexual assault took place and the province is liable, but the plaintiff couldn't establish that MacDougall was the officer who facilitated the attack.
She awarded the man, who is now 54 years old, $150,000 in damages and $25,000 for the cost of future care, plus his legal costs.
"The structure and operation of the youth tour program in 1978 left a great deal to be desired from a modern perspective, to put in mildly," Duncan said in her ruling posted Wednesday.
"The officers were left to choose the inmates they felt were appropriate to interact with the youth" said the judge, who noted that the youth could have been exposed to inmates facing sex charges.
"The youth were subjected to catcalls and verbal abuse by inmates, but that seemed to depend on whether the youth appeared suitably chastened by the experience. The purpose of the program was, after all, to scare children into disavowing a life of crime."
Several successful civil court lawsuits from other prisoners were filed against MacDougall.

'Prometheus: Fire And Stone' Trailer
Back in March, I spoke with Kelly Sue DeConnick about the unorthodox creative process behind Dark Horse's new Prometheus/Alien/Predator comics. Essentially, DeConnick and four other writers -- Paul Tobin, Chris Roberson, Christopher Sebela and Joshua Williamson -- got in a room together and hammered out one big story that will be told in a collection of miniseries. DeConnick had a huge notebook in which she collected a sort of series bible.
Now, those comics are about to be released into the world, starting with Prometheus: Fire and Stone by Tobin and artist Juan Ferreyra on Sept. 10. Dark Horse has released a trailer that digs into the process a bit and reveals a little about one of the characters who will appear throughout the series, Angela Foster.

The search for happiness is no easy one. It's a particularly hard task because many of us don't exactly know what makes us happy in the first place.
It seems like we're not the only ones trying to figure this one out: studies have been done to answer that very question. The results? Rather than some of the expected triggers of happiness such as friends, money and food, it has been scientifically proven that one of the greatest contributors to happiness is how much gratitude you show. This is not to say that the aforementioned things do not bring happiness. Let's not kid ourselves – food has made us all happy at one point. This study simply concludes that one's happiness can be drastically shifted depending on the amount of gratitude shown. In other words, they may have found a way in which we can find happiness despite rough days.
Soul Pancake decided to take this theory for a test-drive. They measured the happiness level of people before and after showing gratitude. Check it out for yourself:
If such a small act impacts the emotional health of individuals, then it is especially important that the Asian American community start incorporating this into our daily lives.
In our Fall 2013 issue, we delved deep into the topic of depression and mental health among Asian American women:
Asians are arguably the most wired people in the world, and we also bear the ignoble distinction of having the highest rates of depression. According to a 2011 report by the National Alliance on Mental Illness, Asian American teenage girls have the highest rate of depressive symptoms of any racial, ethnic or gender group. In fact, Asian American girls and women aged 15 to 24 die from suicide at a higher rate than any other racial or ethnic group, and suicide is the fifth leading cause of death among Asian Americans overall (only ninth for white Americans). It's not just young women either; Asian American women over 65 have the highest suicide rate in that demographic. And while some studies find depressive symptoms in 35 percent of Chinese immigrants, among Southeast Asians, 71 percent meet the criteria for major affective disorders such as depression.
What causes such a high incidence of depression within our community? Is it the pressure we often face from family and society? Is it, as mentioned above, a matter of comparing ourselves to others and setting unrealistic expectations for ourselves?
Apparently, it may have a thing or two to do with race itself. Medical Daily released a story that studied the long term effects of racism. According to the study, there is a strong relationship between racial discrimination and depression. More importantly, Blacks, Hispanics and Asians were at the highest risk.
By enduring racism earlier on, various health issues such as "low self-esteem, reduced resilience, increased behavior problems and lower levels of wellbeing" can result.
"Children are still developing their sense of worth and belonging," Medical Daily explains. "They internalize hateful comments more often as truths."
Clearly, we are fighting various battles at once. With so many factors working against us, it is especially important that Asian American women look after their emotional and mental wellbeing. So why not try these methods: even the small steps – limiting time on social media and taking the time to show gratitude – may make a difference. After all, what's there to lose?

Latvia uses police to quash talk of economic collapse
Last November, Dmitrijs Smirnovs, a young economics professor in this coastal university town, published an essay in a leading Latvian newspaper warning that the country was heading for a financial collapse to rival Iceland's.
Soon after, the secret police showed up at his home. They held Mr. Smirnovs for two days. The charge: spreading unrest and destabilizing Latvia's financial and banking system.
"I said we are bankrupt. I wrote that people should not have their money in banks, and they should not keep their money in Latvian lats," Smirnovs recalls, sitting in his cold office, the heat turned off, he says, to save money. "That was enough to have me detained. They are still investigating me."
Lawmakers here did not want to admit at first just how quickly Latvia's fortunes have changed. But a shrinking economy, rising unemployment, and a $7 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund have changed that. A new center-right government took the helm last week and hopes to steer this tiny Baltic nation of 2.3 million out of an economic emergency the European Union fears could soon destabilize the whole region.
At a summit in Brussels Thursday and Friday, the EU continued to debate whether to bail out cash-strapped Eastern Europe. Latvia, once a poster child for financial success, is now a cautionary tale of breakneck capitalism that has taken it to the brink of a meltdown.
Latvia's economy grew at a double-digit pace for years since it joined the EU in 2004. But it fell 10.5 percent year-on-year in the last quarter of 2008. The gross domestic product is expected to decrease another 12 percent this year. Unemployment could reach 15 percent. Housing prices, once a boon, are down 25 percent, according to Global Property Guide.
Lawmakers here are trying to minimize the kind of public panic seen last year in Iceland and, more recently, in Ireland, and have targeted those like Smirnovs whom they see as responsible for spreading it.
When Latvia pop star Valters Fridenbergs joked at a concert one night about bank runs, the secret police paid him a visit too.
"Devaluation [of the economy] is a very touchy subject here," says Pauls Raudseps, an editor at Latvia's most influential daily, Diena. "This society isn't used to open discussions about these things."
But public anger over the government's handling of the economic crisis has been steadily mounting. Late last year, the country's biggest national bank, Parex, was nationalized and the government reached out to the IMF – a gesture that carried with it deeply unpopular cuts in social spending, including salary reductions of 15 percent across many services, and hastened the resignation of Prime Minister Ivars Godmanis last month.
There has been unrest: A 10,000-strong rally in the capital, Riga, turned violent in January. Last month, farmers blocked the main road to the capital to protest agriculture policy.
In Riga, the trendy cafes, multistory shopping malls, and sleek sushi restaurants belie what the ordinary Latvians say about the declining state of things. Two years ago Mikhail Arutjunov moved to the capital from the coast, where he worked in the shipping industry. He drives buses and taxis, but is thinking of going back. "Life isn't so good here anymore," Mr. Arutjunov says. "Money was good back then, but now salaries are too low."
Latvia's problems are mirrored elsewhere in Eastern Europe. The region is foundering not because of toxic mortgages, but because of huge account debts following years during which governments borrowed too much in an attempt to improve institutions and infrastructure ahead of EU membership.
Then, governments cashed in after joining the EU. Foreign investment poured in, property values soared, housing markets boomed, and ordinary consumers found themselves with access to credit that was unthinkable during the dark days of communism.
"The government just went wild," says Mr. Raudseps. "They just went on a spending spree."
The Baltic countries borrowed heavily in foreign currencies, mostly in the euro, which has devalued significantly since the start of the financial crisis. And they kept their three currencies at a fixed exchange rate with the European single currency, eliminating the option of devaluing those currencies to help drive up exports.
"That was the one substantial flaw" in the fiscal policies of Latvia and the other Baltic countries, says Anders Aslund, a senior fellow at the Petersen Institute for International Economics. "During their boom times, they imported inflation, imported too much short-term capital, and it has caused overheating in their economy," he says.
Some of Latvia's leading economists, particularly those who came of age in the early days of capitalism, are saying the only solution for Latvia is to let it collapse like Iceland and start over again when the IMF loan runs out this fall. That may sound like risky advice, but Smirnovs says: "We need to change from wild capitalism to simple capitalism."
Raudseps says the Latvian people are ready for a new government to lead the country through the crisis, and are resigned to some cutbacks.
"When does it end? That is creating a lot of tension. People don't really know how they are going to deal with it," he says.

Hello! It's Nancy here, with a warm welcome to our Friday Focus at the Frilly and Funkie Blog. This week the spotlight is on one of my favorite products, Maja Design Papers! Linda stocks an amazing selection at the Funkie Junkie Boutique, and for the next two weeks she is generously offering an additional 15% off all of the Maja Design papers.
I'm in the process of creating cards for the many wonderful friends and family members who reached out to me during a recent difficult time. This coordinating set of 'thank you' cards turned out to be a perfect way to showcase a variety of Maja Design's gorgeous designs.
Simplicity is the key with these cards, as the lovely papers stand alone with almost no need for embellishment. I cut, distressed, and stitched papers from Maja Design's Vintage Summer Basics and Vintage Spring Basics collections.
I added bits of venise lace, two paper flowers, die cut leaves, a scattering of pearls, a twine bow, and a stamped sentiment. The interior of each card is finished with coordinating papers. The blank note card provides ample space for a personal note to each loved one.
Notice how beautifully the papers work together! I'm a frilly girl, so I gravitate toward pastel themes, but Maja designs bolder patterns and color collections as well.
Maja Design papers are designed and manufactured in Sweden, and they can be very difficult to find. Linda is one of the few shops in the United States to carry their papers. Her her prices are definitely the best, even when they're not on sale.
It's been great fun sharing my Maja Design addiction with you! Remember to head over to Funkie Junkie Boutique and take advantage of the additional 15% off all Maja Design Papers these next two weeks.
I send wishes for a joyful summer filled with plenty of crafty fun!

Radeon TV-Out
In 2007 Alex Deucher added preliminary TV-Out-support based on the gatos-code to the randr12-branch of the ati-driver. The branch has now been merged to the git HEAD of xf86-video-ati.
Driver Releases
Starting from the 6.7.191 pre-release the X.org ati driver supports TV-Out on selected cards. That means stable version 6.8.0 and newer have the support. A new enough driver is also included starting in eg. Fedora 8 and Ubuntu 7.10.
How to build
See RadeonTVbuildHowto.
How to use
You can enable TV-Out either dynamically (by issuing commands to the running X server) or statically (through the xorg.config file, before starting the X server). For testing, the dynamic method is probably easier.
How to use: R5xx / R6xx / R7xx
Newer R600 / R700 series cards (Radeon HD X2000 - X4870) need this option in xorg.conf:
Option "ATOMTvOut" "TRUE"
The same Option can be applied to R5xx cards too (or at least some of that series). It has been checked to work on x1650 (RV530LE) - this line really needed to detect S-Video tv-out.
Enabling TV-Out Dynamically
TV-out may be enabled by using a recent driver and xrandr utility:
- xrandr --addmode S-video 800x600
- xrandr --output S-video --mode 800x600
- xrandr --output S-video --set "tv standard" ntsc
Enabling TV-Out Statically
Several options need to be specified. See the radeon(4) manpage for a description. In particular, you must set "TVStandard" to match your flavour of video.
This recipe is not definitive, but it has worked.
In the "Device" section:
Driver "radeon" Option "TVDACLoadDetect" "TRUE" Option "TVStandard" "ntsc" Option "monitor-S-video" "TV-monitor"
In the "Monitor" Section:
Option "PreferredMode" "800x600"
In the "Screen" section:
DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "800x600" EndSubSection
How we got here from the GATOS Patch
There was a very old effort by the gatos-project to support TV Out on ATI Radeons. It was GPL-licensed in the past, but in 2007 all authors agreed with relicensing under MIT-license, so that it was brought to a xf86-video-ati's branch and later on merged to the main driver.
randr-1.2 branch of xf86-video-ati
Update to below patch by Wei-Tsun Sun
Patch up to xorg 7.0 by Rune Petersen
All others agreed to the relicensing
On some older cards the tv out can be enabled with atitvout, which is not developed anymore:

Assisted by other Marvel X-Men mutants, players use an advanced control scheme to master and evolve the characters as they unleash Wolverine's combat rage, experience Nightcrawler's acrobatics and teleportation powers, and tear through the air on Iceman's ice slide.
