As a proud Tennessee graduate and SEC football fan, the meteoric rise of Texas A&M freshman quarterback Johnny Manziel captivated me last season.
As a proud Tennessee graduate and SEC football fan, the meteoric rise of Texas A&M freshman quarterback Johnny Manziel captivated me last season.
I did not agree that he should have been the Heisman winner, however, what he did in the toughest football conference in America as a previously unknown kid, was nothing short of amazing.
Fast-forward to today and Manziel could not appear to be any less of a winner.
The 20-year-old is having troubles with his temper and alcohol, all of which he blames on other people and his fame.
To that I say absolute "baloney."
When someone becomes famous to an elite celebrity status, there are certain unspoken duties that come along with it.
You are supposed to sign autographs, you are supposed to do public appearances, etc.
Due to his recent actions of getting drunk at frat parties and - what I think was inspired by alcohol - being kicked out of the Manning Passing Academy, I am going to refer to him as �Johnny Boyziel,� because there is no man there, at least not yet.
I hear people say �Oh he is a kid in college, he is supposed to do these types of things,� to which I reply �says who?�
I know plenty of college athletes who did not drink, went to class, had accountability for their actions and still had fun.
In my opinion, alcohol is nothing but an illegitimate excuse and extreme modifier for people in denial that what they are suffering from is in fact a disease.
It is an immature activity in the form that Manziel is demonstrating.
Then others say things like �fame is hard.� Again, Please.
It is hard for the immature and morally lacking, but not for those with their heads on straight.
I really hope that Johnny Boyziel adds the Man to his name very soon and has a career ahead of him, although mature or not, I do not think he has what it takes to play quarterback in the NFL.
At this point, that should be the furthest thing from his mind.
He needs a counselor, rehabilitation, and to surround himself with only positive people and focus on his schoolwork and football.
I expect him to be a shell of himself on the field for the Aggies this season. �Johnny Football,� is dead and gone.
Here is why: If Manziel cannot put down the bottle or the can long enough to learn from Peyton Manning, what makes fans think he is ready to put his everything into the upcoming season?
Pundits say �football is his release, where he feels safe.� Well, if that was the case, then he would get his friends and go to an open field in Texas (I�m sure there are plenty of them) and throw around the football instead of doing kegstands and beer bongs.
For anyone who believes Manziel�s �I fell asleep� soliloquy, in reference to his Manning Camp debacle, well I have some prime beach property in Knoxville that I would love to sell you.
Many people mature at different times in their lives and that is fine. However, not many people have to lose as much by not maturing as Manziel does.
My real fear is not will Manziel be good enough to make it to the NFL? It is, will he even make it at all?

Is Snoop Dogg Going to Star in His Own Sitcom?
As a young Dr. Dre protege, Snoop Doggy Dogg only had his mind on his money and his money on his mind. The idea that he'd one day be making cameos on 'One Life to Live' or starring in a reality series about his family would have seemed ludicrous.
The older, wiser Snoop Dogg knows how to step back from the game and have fun, however — and now he's developing a family-friendly sitcom to prove it.
Snoop, who has also guested on series such as 'Monk' and 'The L Word,' would star as the father of a family on the show, which currently lacks a title or any other announced cast members. He's developing the show with producer Don Reo, whose previous credits include 'My Wife and Kids' and 'Two and a Half Men.'
Dogg's latest album, 'Doggumentary,' went top 10 earlier this year. He also recently signed to star in a biopic about noted pimp and blues musician Fillmore Slim.

utility to manage environment variables from within dotfiles
Usepackage is a tool for managing the Unix environment for a multi-tool, multi-platform site. It is designed to simplify login scripts and allow administrators to control users' environments centrally. This tool should be considered primarily designed for sites where users have to deal with a number of different tools, or versions of tools, that are installed in different locations and require environment variables to be set. This is particularly a problem for developers, or anyone who has to manage a large toolset across multiple platforms (e.g. different versions of the Sun JDK which require various environment variables to be set correctly). One or more central configuration files control a number of different "packages" and their associated environment and dependencies for different platforms (this includes the standard PATH, MANPATH, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH variables). A single user command, use, can be invoked to source the appropriate environment information into the users' current shell.

Ncmpcpp or ncmpcpp is an mpd client (compatible with mopidy) with a UI very similar to ncmpc, but it provides new useful features such as support for regular expressions for library searches, extended song format, items filtering, the ability to sort playlists, and a local filesystem browser.
To use it, a functional mpd must be present on the system since ncmpcpp/mpd work together in a client/server relationship.
Install ncmpcpp from the official repositories.
Basic configuration
The shell "GUI" for ncmpcpp is highly customizable. Edit
~/.ncmpcpp/config to your liking. If, after installation,
~/.ncmpcpp/config has not been created, simply copy the sample config, change owner and edit at the very least the following three configuration options:
- mpd_host - Should point to the host on which mpd resides, can be "localhost" or "127.0.0.1" if on the same machine
- mpd_port - The default of mpd should be "6600"
- mpd_music_dir - The same directory value as specified in "music_directory" in
For inspiration, see the following resources:
- Sample configuration file in
- Show your .ncmpcpp/config with screenshot forum thread
- Project screenshots page
Enabling visualization
For visualization, add a few lines to
/etc/mpd.conf to enable the generation of the fast Fourier transform data for the visualization:
audio_output { type "fifo" name "my_fifo" path "/tmp/mpd.fifo" format "44100:16:2" }
Additional lines need to be added to
visualizer_fifo_path = "/tmp/mpd.fifo" visualizer_output_name = "my_fifo" visualizer_sync_interval = "30" visualizer_in_stereo = "yes" #visualizer_type = "wave" (spectrum/wave/wave_filled/ellipse) #visualizer_type = "wave_filled" (spectrum/wave/wave_filled/ellipse) #visualizer_type = "ellipse" (spectrum/wave/wave_filled/ellipse) visualizer_type = "spectrum" (spectrum/wave/wave_filled/ellipse) visualizer_look = "+|"
- visualizer_sync_interval - Set the interval for synchronizing the visualizer with the audio output from mpd. It should be set to greater than 10 to avoid trying to synchronize too frequently, which freezes the visualization. The recommended value is 30, but it can be reduced if the audio becomes desynced with the visualization.
- visualizer_type - Set the visualization to either a spectrum/ellipse analyzer or wave/wave filled form.
- visualizer_look - Set the visualizer's look (string has to be exactly 2 characters long: first one is for wave and wave_filled whereas second for frequency spectrum and ellipse).
Basic usage
Loading ncmpcpp
Load ncmpcpp in a shell:
$ ncmpcpp
Different views
Partial list of views within ncmpcpp:
1- Current playlist
2- Filesystem browser
3- DB search
4- Library
5- Playlist editor
6- Tag editor (very powerful!)
7- Output selector

Noticed the control panel in the upper right; shown in alternative mode:
1:40/4:16 1082 kbps ──┤ Criminal ├── Vol: 98% [playing] Disturbed - Indestructible (2008) [-z-c--]
And again in classic mode:
This corresponds to the playback modes; ordered from left to right, they are:
r- repeat mode [r-----]
z- random mode [-z----]
y- single mode [--s---] (Repeats the current track after reaching the end.)
R- consume mode [---c--] (Removes the current track from playlist after reaching the end.)
x- crossfade mode [----x-]
The final "-" is only active when the user forces an update to the datebase via
Remapping keys
A listing of key bindings and their respective functions is available from within npmpcpp itself via hitting
F1. Users may remap any of the default keys simply by copying
/usr/share/doc/ncmpcpp/bindings to
~/.ncmpcpp/ and editing it.

Rerun: Milwaukee, WI always seemed to be ahead of the curve when it came to great music, especially with the proto-punk/art/noise-rock bands that morphed into just about every cool or at least noteworthy '77-83 indie band in town. The Lubricants were no exception and one of the best of the bunch. They formed at the Dawn of Punk and were the most ferocious band in town. They went through multiple line-up changes, but it all centered around founder and mastermind Leroy Buth. In 1980, they booked time at A.T.A. Studios in Chicago and cut their lone 45, 'Activated Energy'. Two killer Punk sides with perfectly in-the-red production. Both songs ooze some of the most searing guitar leads committed to vinyl since Raw Power. The record came out on their own Relative Records that same year. It was the only release during the Lubricants original run. The original single has been very tough to find and fetching big money for years. In the late '90s, 'Activated Energy' turned up on a Killed By Death LP and a poorly done counterfeit pressing drew even more demand for the record. A collection of Lubricants studio material was self released by the band on CD, which also appeared as a very limited vinyl pressing out of Italy.
Rerun presents a high quality reissue of this Milwaukee Punk classic in a limited pressing of 500 copies on thick, black vinyl. The audio has been remastered and it comes in a glued pocket sleeve with a double sided insert including rare photos and ephemera plus liner notes by Glenn Rehse of Plasticland.

The Shame of Boston's Wireless Woes
by Anthony Townsend
Almost immediately after Monday's tragic bombings at the Boston Marathon, the city's cellular networks collapsed. The Associated Press initially reported what many of us suspected, that law enforcement officials had requested a communications blackout to prevent the remote detonation of additional explosives. But the claim was soon redacted as the truth became clear. It didn't take government fiat to shut down the cellular networks. They fell apart all on their own.
As cell service sputtered under a surge of calls, runners were left in the dark, families couldn't reach loved ones, and even investigators were stymied in making calls related to their pursuit of suspects. Admirably, Boston residents and businesses responded quickly by opening up Wi-Fi hotspots to help evacuees communicate with loved ones.
But most, even the super-connected elite, were knocked offline. As his Twitter followers know, it took Dennis Crowley, a Massachusetts native and CEO of New York City-based social network Foursquare, an hour to reunite with his fiancé and family, who were scattered around the finish line as the bombs went off. Their reunion was coordinated by a handful of SMS messages he was able to squeeze through the crippled network. He also reported helping several stunned senior citizens discover the value of their own phones' texting functions for the first time.
We shouldn't be surprised by the collapse of Boston's cellular networks. The same thing happens every time there is a crisis in a large city. On an average day, Americans make nearly 400,000 emergency 911 calls on their mobile phones. Yet during large-scale crises this vital lifeline is all-too-frequently cut off.
The culprit is usually congestion. During a disaster, call volumes spike and overwhelm the over-subscribed capacity of wireless carriers' networks. On September 11, 2001, fewer than 1 in 20 mobile phone calls in New York City was connected. The same thing happened after the August 2011 earthquake that shook the East Coast. And on Monday, in Boston.
But, as we learned in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, wireless carriers have also neglected to harden their networks against extended losses of electrical power. Thousands of towers were knocked offline in the New York region alone when backup batteries failed. Yet as a member of Governor Andrew Cuomo's NYS Ready Commission this fall, I was stunned to learn that wireless carriers had never formally discussed plans with the region's electric utilities to restore power to cell sites after a major disaster.
The loss of vital wireless communications during disasters is all the more dismaying because it is largely preventable. After 9/11 a system was put in place to give government officials priority access to cellular channels during periods of high demand. (Though it requires pre-registration and a special code be used when dialing). In the wake of Sandy, New York Senator Charles Schumer called for stricter federal oversight of backup power and landline network connections for cell sites. Yet these reforms have been stalled by industry lobbying. Lacking a redundant cellular system, Americans will continue to resort to the century-old technology of amateur radio for lifeline communications during and after large disasters. In Boston, this technology is still widely used during the marathon because of past experience with cellular traffic jams.
With over 320 million active wireless subscriber connections, Americans are a fully untethered people. Our smart phones keep our complicated lives choreographed across the sprawling metropolitan areas we inhabit. Psychologists and sociologists have found that we think of these devices as extensions of our bodies and minds. In Boston, this was all too apparent. Even when runners, whose mobile batteries were drained after the long run, could locate a phone, they couldn't recall what numbers to dial, having long ago given up memorizing phone numbers in favor of their smart phone's electronic address book.
Despite our utter dependency on cellular networks, the industry has failed to act substantially to improve the reliability of these systems. While it is one of the most vibrant sectors of the economy — AT&T Wireless, for instance, had its most profitable quarter ever in the months before Sandy — and invests tens of billions annually in network expansion, somehow the cost of greater reliability has not been deemed a priority. These companies have sold American consumers a digital lifeline without honoring their responsibility to assure it works at our time of greatest need.
Even if we do choose to engineer a better cellular grid, the more disturbing revelation of the Boston breakdown is the speed with which we've come to accept the shutdown of cellular networks as an acceptable exercise of law enforcement power. This is a tactic pioneered in Egypt by an autocratic government in its death throes to shut down mass protests. It should never be deployed in an information-based society that has become utterly dependent on wireless communications for every aspect of its social, economic, and political functioning.
Seeing our cellular networks as the launch pad for the next wave of terror attacks is self-defeating. Mobile phones do make effective remote controls for detonation, but so do landlines. Telecommunications networks have been used to plan and trigger attacks as long as we've pulled telegraph and telephone wires through our cities. (In 1972, the Mossad assassinated the PLO's kingpin in France using a remotely detonated desktop phone bomb.) But we never shut down the phone system to stop a single call. Besides, it was too hard to do quickly. Ironically, the same technological advances that have made mass cellular communications possible now allow us to throw a single kill switch for an entire network. We can now self-inflict additional damage by a panicked decision to neuter our own capacity to respond. No one denies the need for law enforcement to have the tools it needs to stop an attack. But there are more precise ways to do that.
The time to stop treating our cellular networks as an afterthought in preparedness, as expendable casualties during crises, is long overdue. In fact, they are the key to getting first responders to where they need to be, and an essential tool for resilient responses by citizens in the hours and days after a major disaster. The cellular industry has enjoyed the benefits (and profits) of access to public radio spectrum. With that access now comes enormous responsibility. We can't afford a communications infrastructure that works only when we don't really need it.
Anthony Townsend is senior research fellow at New York University's Rudin Center for Transportation Policy and Management. His first book, SMART CITIES: Big Data, Civic Hackers and the Quest for a New Utopia, will be published by W.W. Norton & Co. in October.

Central Connecticut men's golf sophomore Monte Mullen earned his second Northeast Conference honor this season after being named NEC Golfer of the Week on Wednesday afternoon.
Mullen shared the individual championship on Tuesday at the St. Peter's Peacock Invitational with an even-par 72. It is the second year Blue Devil's first win of the spring and fifth top-ten finish of the 2012-13 season. As well as top-ten finishes, Mullen leads the team in scoring average with an impressive 74.8 over 22 rounds.
The Blue Devils finished second in the team standings at St. Peter's, registering their fourth straight top-ten finish of the spring season. Central shot a team score of 301 at the 18-hole event which was played at Neshanic Valley Golf Club in Neshanic, NJ.
Next, Central Connecticut will compete in the Bryant University Prisco Boulet Shootout on April 28th, a prelude to the 2013 NEC Tournament.

Downtown Jacksonvilleremains a work in progress, according to city officials.
Downtown Jacksonvilleremains a work in progress, according to city officials.
And Martin Aragona Jr. is helping move it along.
Aragona, owner of Marlo Construction, has started work on Piazza on Court, a four-restaurant food court on the corner of Court and Old Bridge streets, has plans for a fondue restaurant and martini bar on New Bridge Street, has built 15 to 20 houses in the area already and has plans to build another 16 in the next two years.
Construction on Piazza on Court, which he hopes to open by late October, began in late April.
�We�re hoping to have a bakery, a pizza place and a sandwich shop, as well as a coffee entity in there as well. I think we�re going to end up with a unique mixture of places in there,� he said.
Once Piazza on Court opens, Aragona and Marlo Construction will focus their efforts on 310 New Bridge St., which has housed Marlo Construction�s office for several years and will become the location of a fondue restaurant and martini bar. Aragona expects to open Dejablue Fondue and Martini Bar within six months of Piazza.
With Piazza available for a fast breakfast and lunch crowd and Dejablue for the evening and weekend crowd, Aragona hopes to entice area residents to downtown Jacksonville.
There are lots of great places downtown already, he said, and many more opportunities that have yet to be realized.
�We just love the qualities of a downtown lifestyle and we think that downtown Jacksonvillehas tremendous possibilities and potential and we look forward to being a part of that,� he said.
Renee�s Courthouse Caff� at 720 Court St.is among the longtime businesses in downtown Jacksonvillethat have realized that potential.
Renee Worthington opened Courthouse Caff� in downtown Jacksonville14 years ago.
The restaurant originally opened at 620 Court St., where Elsa�s is currently located, and expanded to the current address, Worthington said. When the restaurant opened at the new address, there was a large parking lot across the street that she believed would be staying in place.
�I guess at the time we just thought you can�t have courthouse caf� and not be by the courthouse,� she said.
However, the parking lot was demolished and turned into the new Justice Complex.
�We�re just still trucking along. Our sales were cut by about 60 percent when that parking lot shut down. � Needless to say our staff has also been cut in half,� Worthingtonsaid.
Despite the recent struggles, Worthingtonsaid she�s excited to see what other businesses join the downtown area.
Abigail Barman, senior planner with the City of Jacksonville, said that the only active building permit for downtown Jacksonville is for Piazza on Court and that new single family homes are being built in the area, primarily by Marlo Construction and Hunter Hadley.
Aragona, Hadley and Ron Brown have also been instrumental in building homes downtown, Mayor Sammy Phillips said.
Barman said that in the last couple of years several new businesses have joined downtown Jacksonville, including the Bicycle Gallery and New Bridge Organic Market, while the government entities, including the post office and court house, anchor the area.
Jacksonville Councilman Jerry Bittner likes what he sees in terms of the downtown growth.
�I think it�s fantastic the growth that�s occurred there. It�s certainly proven the worth of the investment the city�s made there,� he said.
Phillips said on top of buying abandoned houses and selling them to contractors, city staff has made an effort to draw area residents downtown through festivals, movie nights at the park, National Night Out and other family friendly events.
�We realize it�s not an overnight thing, but we�ve made quite a bit of progress from what it was to what it is,� Phillips said. �Twenty to 25 years ago it was mostly bars and adult businesses at one time and all that�s pretty much been eradicated from downtown Jacksonvilleand it�s got a whole new face now.�
Phillips said that anyone who hasn�t seen the downtown area in the last few years should go check it out.
�It�s really a very nice part of town,� he said.
Despite the progress, Councilman Randy Thomas feels downtown Jacksonville still has a way to go to pull people away from Western Boulevard.
�It�s just going to take the right type of business to attract people to draw them from Western Boulevardand those kinds of things. It�s got to be unique, something different. You can�t just put up what�s already out there in downtown,� he said.
A boat ramp, which is scheduled to open in 2014, and the scheduled July completion of the BuddyPhillipsBridgeare going to be key to bringing people to the downtown area for more than festivals, Thomas said.
�I think once that boat landing opens then that�s when you�re going to know,� he said. �You�ll get the new bridge, you�ll get the boat landing, it has a whole different feel, a much more attractive, inviting (feel). Now you can go down to the water but dang where are you going to park? � The boat ramp is just going to be out of this world I think.�

Nigerian priest shares stories of African village life, resilience of children facing tragedy
February 8, 2013
Inspired by life in the rural Nigerian village where he was born, the Rev. Uwem Akpan will share unique tales influenced by the humor and endurance of the African poor—even in the face of the agonizing tragedies plaguing the region—in a free public lecture Feb. 18 at Loyola University New Orleans. The Catholic priest will discuss the real-world accounts included in his award-winning collection of short stories, "Say You're One of Them," which was picked by the Oprah Winfrey Book Club.
The event will be held at 7 p.m. in the Louis J. Roussel Performance Hall, located on the second floor of the Communications/Music Complex on Loyola's main campus. A reception with light refreshments will immediately follow the lecture in the foyer area of Roussel Hall. Akpan will be available to sign books after the event as well.
From the story of a family living in a makeshift shanty in urban Kenya to the story of young siblings who struggle with their uncle's attempt to sell them into slavery, Akpan will share the tales of children to illustrate the biggest issues facing Africa during the lecture, "Writing about Human Tragedy from a Spiritual Space." Those stories and others like them are included in "Say You're One of Them."
Akpan's grandfather was one of the first to bring Catholicism to his African village—one of those places where everybody knows everybody. Akpan grew up there hearing folktales from his mother, who encouraged his love of reading and writing. He studied philosophy and English at Creighton and Gonzaga Universities and then studied theology for three years at the Catholic University of Eastern Africa. He received his master's in creative writing from the University of Michigan in 2006.
The event is sponsored by Loyola's College of Humanities and Natural Sciences, the Department of English, African and African-American Studies, the Center for Intercultural Understanding, the Walker Percy Center for Writing and Publishing and the College of Law. Akpan will also visit several Loyola classes that week to speak with students, including a visit to the College of Law Wednesday, Feb. 20 from 4:30 to 6 p.m. in room 112 of the College of Law.
At this presentation, Akpan will shed light on the laws that allowed some of the tragic situations in his book to occur and will address opportunities for possible changes to those laws in the future.
For more information, please contact Diane Riehlmann at the College of Humanities and Natural Sciences or Arlene Wiltz at the College of Law.

It has been 11 years since I cancelled my first set of reporters. What followed was the cancellation of all print reporters in that firm. Like many of you reading this post also experienced, it wasn't easy. That said, we can now say that most of the lawyers within firms (who cancelled reporters) have made the transition from print to electronic/online case law.
What's next? Many firms are making decisions to go with a preferred provider – Westlaw or Lexis – to cut costs. The CIOs, CMOs, and CKOs who now oversee the library or research department see this as a way to reduce paying for duplication. Depending on what content your firm uses, this may or may not be the best way to proceed. Even so, while this may be necessary there may be strategies you can use to manage costs of online services.
Note: I realize that many firms have already taken some of these steps or have it planned for the future. I also understand that all of these suggestions may be or not be right for your firm depending on needs and culture.
- If you have a flat rate contract or a special offer that includes case law, cancel your print reporters.
- If your flat rate contract or special offer includes access to the online digests, start training your users on the use of these tools. Eventually, you will be able to cancel the digests.
- If your firm is serious about recovering costs for online resources and you haven't already implemented an ERM tool for client/matter validation, do so now. It will pay for itself and then some.
- If your flat rate contract(s) exclude resources and/or you have access to other resources with the same content, use ERM tools to redirect your users to the right resource. It is a lot easier than training users to select the right resource.
- If you haven't already done so, cancel the print versions of the newsletters or journals you now get in electronic format.
- If you have WK Intelliconnect, BNA libraries and electronic newsletters, or RIA CheckPoint, or other similar services cancel the print newsletters and looseleafs that provide the same content as those services and use ERM tools to block access to the databases with the same content on Westlaw and Lexis. Alternatively, you can use those same tools to redirect your users to the right resource.
- If your firm attempts to recover costs for Westlaw and if you have Westlaw eLibraries that include caselaw where you don't charge clients for the use, remove all case law from the eLibraries. If you don't, you will very likely see eLibraries cannibalize the cost recovery of your Westlaw contract. I've done analysis of eLibrary use where the trend line in my spreadsheet showed the use of eLibraries went up at the same rate that the use of Westlaw went down, eventually meeting at a point that the lines crossed.
- If you've worked with Lexis to set up custom user interfaces (CUI), it is very likely that the use of the interfaces are charged separately from your main contract. The issue that I've seen arise is that the use of these CUIs is generally low. This can be changed with the proper training and by redirecting the use of the resources using your ERM tool. Just make sure they get used or cancel them.
- If your firm charges clients for online services and you are considering adding expert witness or briefs and pleadings to your contract, don't. The use of these types of resources are so closely tied to litigation matters that clients are generally willing to pay for their use. They don't represent the library resources that clients expect to be treated as overhead.
- If your firm doesn't require refresher training for online resources, recommend that they do so and that it become an ongoing program. A lot of the client push back of cost recovery is based on the high costs. Researchers that participate in cost-effective research training will research online more effectively, reducing those costs.
- If you don't have a research portal that provides personalized access to resources, implement one. It will reduce the time researchers spend looking for the right resource and reduce costs for the firm's clients.
These are just a few ideas based on experience. I would love to hear other ideas for cost cutting, cancellations of duplicates, etc. I would also like to hear from you if you don't agree with me.

Arlington, Va — The number of complaints received by the Better Business Bureau (BBB) about fitness clubs has increased more than 90 percent in the last five years, according to a recent BBB study.
The most common complaints consumers have about fitness clubs focus on contract disputes (41.5 percent) and billing issues (31.7 percent). The majority of billing complaints center on being billed after the members said their contracts had expired. Many consumers either assumed their contract would not be renewed or filed the appropriate paperwork to cancel their membership but continued to have fees withdrawn from their bank accounts. Most of the contract dispute complaints involve disagreements over promises made by the salesperson as opposed to what the membership actually included.
More than 15 percent of complaints came from consumers whose fitness center either closed or changed management soon after they joined. The complainants typically wanted refunds for membership fees paid in advance or were dissatisfied with the new ownership and policies and wanted out of their contract.
Steve Cox, spokesperson for the BBB, says consumers should read the fine print before they sign a contract.

"In a high performance world, Braun creates innovative designs built to last 7 years. Braun profiles 15 innovative guys in an intimate look at their life passions and the unique objects of design and durability that power their life."
Jorge Perez has made a name for himself producing photo shoots around the world for the likes of Brad Pitt, Lady Gaga and Naomi Campbell. Embracing the "right-time-right-place" mentality, Perez teamed up with business partner Bobby Heller after a chance meeting to merge their talents under Opus Reps, a highly successful and innovative artist management and production group that includes fashion stylists, photographers and art directors.
We team up with Braun to talk to Jorge Perez about his favorite Built to Perform possession.
How did you first get involved with photography and become an agent?
I was working on an Oscar charity event in LA and I had befriended a photographer that knew Diana Ross. My job was to get celebrities to the event so I kept on leaving messages to the photographer about bringing Diana to the event. The photographer (Randee St. Nicholas) finally called me back and said: "You know you are very persistent… but not pushy. Have you ever thought about being an agent?" And I said, "No." Then she said, "Well, I think you should be my agent." And I said, "OK."
How did you and Bobby Heller meet and how did you develop Opus Photo?
We actually met at Equinox… I was repping one photographer and he had been doing it for years. He became my mentor and then proposed that we join forces. This was eight years ago and we've never looked back!
What do you look for, aside from experience, when considering adding a photographer to Opus' rooster?
I look for a photographer that makes me gasp when I look at the picture. Once that's out of the way I look for a smart business person, someone that can navigate through art and commerce and is ready to start a symbiotic relationship in which we can all win and achieve our dreams.
How did you get involved with the docu-series Double Exposure for Bravo TV?
I was representing Markus and Indrani for about a year when it hit me that they needed a reality show. We had a shoot coming up with Blackbook and we decided to film it and then cut it into a sizzle reel. I remember walking around NY with Markus on the phone thinking of the name for the show and then it hit me… "Double Exposure." He then said, "I like it." And the rest was history. We met with a bunch of producers until finally Juma took them on. Bravo was our number one choice and they loved it. We worked very closely with Andy Cohen and it was probably the best experience my life.
Please tell us a bit about the Agent Seminars that you're developing and any advice that you have for people trying to break into the industry.
The seminars are going to be amazing and they are still a passion work in progress. My advice for people breaking in the industry is to shoot as much as possible and to keep in mind that the road is never linear. The more that they are shooting and creating with other artists, the more that they will create opportunities for themselves. A lot of photographers think that the way to grow within the industry is to have an agent, and what they need to realize is that first and foremost they must be their own agent at the beginning. There is always room at the top, you just need to keep working and not give up. The only thing that could get in your way is your expectation being out of sync. Remember, "happy where I am and eager for more" is the perfect stance.
Your Built to Perform possession is a prototype hat for Gents,. What makes Reed's new line distinct and why is it your Built to Perform possession?
Josh has had this dream for a long time. My greatest skill has always been the connector (that's why I am an agent for a living). Now that we are business partners on this venture, this prototype hat is a reminder to me that all dreams can come true and they all start with an idea and an intention, then the universe will take care of the details.
In one sentence, tell us why you couldn't live without your Built to Perform possession.
I can't live without my dreams.

Statement by Dr. Shirley Charter,
Commissioner of Social Security,
before the House Committee on Ways and Means,
Subcommittee on Social Security
March 11, 1996
Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee:
I appreciate your invitation to discuss the question of whether future beneficiaries will get a fair return on their contributions in terms of the benefits they will receive from Social Security. You also asked me to address the question of whether young workers should expect to receive their full benefits and what changes will be required to ensure that future retirees are treated fairly.
As we begin to discuss and analyze the changes that may be necessary to ensure that Social Security continues to serve the needs of America, it is absolutely essential to understand the role that Social Security has played in the past and recognize the positive impact it has had on the economic well-being of the country. Social Security allows almost 42 percent of the elderly-10 million people--to live out of poverty.
Unfortunately, many critics of the program judge its value from much too narrow a perspective. They view it from the perspective that Social Security is only a savings plan for retirement and that the return on investment is the sole criterion against which it should be assessed. Some people believe that if they were allowed to invest their Social Security taxes in private investments, such as stocks and bonds, they would receive a higher rate of return--in their view, a fairer return--on their Social Security taxes than Social Security currently provides. Thus, I would like to begin today with a brief look at the purpose of the program before I discuss some specific comparisons of contributions and benefits.
Social Security Offers Families Protection
The success and popularity of Social Security is based on the fact that it strikes a balance between the complementary goals of individual equity--providing benefit protection which is related to an individual's contributions--and social adequacy--providing advantages to society as a whole by alleviating poverty and allowing as many citizens as possible to enjoy a reasonable standard of living. In other words, the social adequacy aspects of the program look beyond the individual to how Social Security can benefit society as a whole. These features, which I will describe later in my testimony, are designed to provide a measure of financial independence to all workers, including lower paid workers and their families. One of the key elements of Social Security is that because it is not means-tested, it maintains the collective nature inherent in this social insurance program.
As a social insurance program, Social Security spreads the cost of protection against the risk of lost income due to retirement, death, or disability over the entire working population, with more protection, per dollar earnings, for lower paid workers and for workers with dependents. Consequently, the value of benefits for any given worker depends on his or her individual circumstances--whether the individual has high or low earnings, is married, may have children, becomes disabled or dies at. a young age, or receives benefits beyond average life expectancy.
For example, in an extended family, retired beneficiaries·may be receiving benefits while their adult children, still in the workforce, and grandchildren have the assurance that Social Security benefits will be there if one of the working parents becomes disabled or dies. The security provided by Social Security is inter-generational.
Those who limit their analysis of the value of Social Security to the retirement program ignore the vitally important disability and survivor programs. Over 30 percent of our Nation's Social Security beneficiaries are receiving disability and survivors benefits, and those programs make up over 30 percent of the benefits Social Security pays. This protection can be extremely valuable, especially for young families that have not been able to sufficiently protect themselves against the risk of the worker's death or disability. In 1994, Social Security paid $15.2 billion in benefits to children. Without Social Security's protection, an increased burden would be placed on families, other government programs, and private charities to support those who would be left in financial need due to the unexpected death or disability of the worker.
One way to gauge the value of Social Security disability benefits is to express their value as insurance. The Social Security disability program provides the same value as a $203,000 disability insurance policy for a worker aged 27 with a spouse and two children and with average earnings. Last year, Social Security paid about $41 billion in benefits to about 6 million disabled workers and family members.
Similar value applies to the Social Security survivor program. Survivor benefits for a worker aged 27 with a family and with average earnings are equal to a $295,000 life insurance policy. Social Security also paid about $67 billion in benefits to more than 7 million survivors of deceased workers last year. Again, we tend not to focus on the fact that one in five of today's 20-year-old men and one in eight 20-year-old women will die before retirement.
Social Security has had another important beneficial impact that critics of the program often fail to acknowledge. By dramatically increasing the extent to which retired and disabled workers, their dependents, and survivors of deceased workers are financially independent, Social Security has relieved younger generations of the burden of providing for the financial needs of older relatives at the same time they are trying to raise their own families.
Finally, because the cost of administering the program is less than one percent of contributions paid, the public is receiving maximum value for their investment. More than 99 percent of the Social Security contributions paid by workers is returned in benefits paid to them or their survivors. That's better than anything you can get in the private market.
Individual Equity and Social Adequacy
Because Social Security is designed to meet certain social adequacy goals, we should not measure its worth simply by comparing contributions paid and benefits received. Certain features of the program are geared toward meeting broad-based social needs in addition to providing retirees with a specific rate of return.
The basic benefit formula is designed to replace a higher proportion of earnings for low earners than for high earners. This is in part because higher income workers are more likely to have accumulated greater savings or investment income than lower income workers. Also, it assumes that lower earners need to have more of their earnings replaced because they spend a higher proportion of their earnings for basic needs. Such workers generally are not able to accumulate savings or generate investment income to the extent that higher earners can. Additionally, many low earners have worked in jobs that have not provided pension coverage. Thus, the benefit formula provides lower income workers with a measure of financial independence without the requirement to establish need.
Social Security is the major source of income (providing 50 percent or more of total income) for 63 percent of beneficiaries aged 65 and older, and contributes 90 percent or more of income for about 25 percent. As the program has matured, it has more effectively met its objectives. Only 1 in 8 elderly people are living below the poverty line today, compared to 1 in 3 in 1959. And about 42 percent of beneficiaries age 65 and over--more than 10 million people--are kept out of poverty by their monthly Social Security benefits.
Social Security was never intended to serve as the sole source of income to retirees. When combined with pensions, private savings, and investments, however, Social Security benefits were intended to give workers some measure of economic security. Benefits are based on the amount of earnings subject to Social Security contributions, rather than individual financial circumstances. Generally, the higher the lifetime earnings, the higher the monthly benefit.
Benefit and Contribution Comparisons
Let me now discuss some specific comparisons of contributions and benefits. As stated earlier, the value of the Social Security program should not be measured solely on the basis of individual equity. Any analysis of the Social Security program shows· that past generations have benefited greatly from the program. This is because, until the program matured, benefits tended to be generous relative to contributions so that the program could begin to offer adequate protection to as many workers as possible, including those who did not have an opportunity to contribute to it during their entire careers.
As the program has matured, the return on contributions has decreased but remains generous. For example, to illustrate the return for persons now becoming beneficiaries, we may consider a person with average wages who retires at age 65 in 1996, who paid $21,518 in the employee's share of Social Security OASI contributions. When interest on those contributions is factored in, the resulting value is $73,703. This worker will receive a monthly benefit of $890, and will recover all contributions, with interest, in 8 and one-third years. This worker can be expected to live nearly 10 more years beyond the break-even point.
In the future, the rate of return, while declining, will continue to be fair, especially when viewed within the context of the broad social objectives of Social Security. For example, a "baby boom" worker with average wages who retires at 66 in 2015 will pay $59,562 in the employee's share of Social Security contributions ($258,824 with interest). This worker will receive $2,074 in monthly benefits or $1,006 in real terms, and recover those contributions in about 12 years, and can be expected to live 6 years beyond the break even point based on life expectancy projections for 2015.
For a worker born in 1968 with average earnings who retires in 2035 at age 67 it will take 10 years to recover the contributions he or she paid. This worker will receive a monthly benefit of $1,215 in today's dollars and can be expected to live an estimated 8 years after the break-even point.
Having given you these calculations for those individuals born in 1968, however, I must qualify their significance. As we all know, we cannot project what lifetime benefits for those retiring 20 to 40 years from now will be. We all recognize that changes to the program will be required to sustain Social Security in the long term.
As you know, the Congressionally mandated Advisory Council on Social Security is very close to completing its assessment of long-range solvency options. Once the Council's options and recommendations are made public, the Social Security Administration, Congress and the public will carefully evaluate them and assess their impact on current and future beneficiaries. Until the public discussion has progressed further, it would be 5 premature for me to take a position on specific options or ideas.
Mr. Chairman, for 60 years Social Security has been one of the most important and successful government programs. It was conceived not only to protect individuals, but also to protect America as a whole from the kind of economic uncertainty and need that existed during the Great Depression. The value of Social Security must be judged in terms of the protection it provides- not only for the individual but for society as a whole. Thus, those who seek to measure its value must consider the design of the program and the elements that support its design, rather than restrict their analysis to a simple measure of a rate of return on contributions.
According to the 1995 Trustees Report, beginning in 2013 Social Security expenditures will exceed revenues. The Trustees Report estimates that the Social Security Fund will be exhausted in 2030. Clearly, considering the crucial role that Social Security plays in our society, its future solvency is of critical importance to the nation.
As past successful efforts to reform Social Security have shown, changes to the program should occur only after bipartisan debate and public discussion. The Advisory Council is an important element in the development of this bipartisan consensus. I look forward to sharing the Council's work with Congress and the public, and to working with you and the American people to ensure that there is sufficient funding of the Social Security program for all future generations.

Four NFL teams are still over the salary cap as the start of the new league year is now only three days away.
The Dallas Cowboys ($6.8 million), New Orleans Saints ($6.6 million), Carolina Panthers ($3.5 million) and Washington Redskins ($2.1 million) are the teams that must shed salary via restructures, extensions or releases.
The figures are in relation to the adjusted salary cap, which is based on how much cap room teams carried over from the 2012 season.
FREE AGENTS: 5 who could be on the move
The Saints have asked linebacker Jonathan Vilma and defensive end Will Smith to restructure their deals or accept pay cuts. The players are due a combined $13.8 million in base salary this season.
The Cowboys got under the cap by restructuring deals for a bunch of players, including DeMarcus Ware, Miles Austin and Dan Connor. Nose tackle Jay Ratliff has a $5 million base salary that has yet to be altered.
The Pittsburgh Steelers were $1.4 million over the cap, but are now under after the release of linebacker James Harrison. The move saves them about $5 million in cap space.
Overall, there is $478 million of cap room across the league. The teams with the most cap space: the Cleveland Browns ($47.4 million), Cincinnati Bengals ($42.9 million), Indianapolis Colts ($37.5 million), Philadelphia Eagles ($34.2 million) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers ($32.2 million).

Born Eliana Leite da Silva in Rio, 1945 and step-daughter to the great Saxophonist Booker Pittman. Eliana Pittman was not only a great beauty in her day but singer, actress and dancer who had an extraordinary rapport with her audiences, compared with the likes of Josephine Baker, Lena Horn and Carmen Miranda. She even hosted her own TV specials such as 'Eliana em Tom Maior', 'Positivamente Eliana' & 'Eliana Cravo e Canela'.
In 1969, Booker Pittman dies and Eliana starts to sing alone, the result is this cracking album produced by Joao Araujo, the highlight for me being a majestic cover and sublime arrangement of Tiempo de Verano (Summertime) and the incendiary Se Você Pensa. The rest of the album is varied combination of swinging Sambas, groovy Bossas and slow burning ballads.

You remember this, right? Moldovan pop group O-Zone released "Dragostea din tei" in Romania in 2003, and it got really popular when it had its worldwide release in 2004. Then callow youth Gary Brolsma of New Jersey posted a video of himself lip syncing and dancing along to the song. Obviously, because it was 2004, he posted it on Newgrounds. And then, like Hamster Dance before it, it went viral.
Except this was a normal dude in his house instead of an adorable animated hamster. So as with many instances of normal people doing things, The New York Times was curious and ran some articles about "placing on the Internet a brief clip." Reading those Times pieces throws the evolution of internet fame into stark relief. I didn't realize there had been such a major arc, but looking back we are definitely not in 2004 anymore. The Times says, "Mr. Brolsma's performance could only be described as earnest but painful." If only they could have known what the future would bring. Dare to dream that every video posted on YouTube would simply be painful and mitigated by earnestness.

Built in 1929, 1500 Walnut Street is a 22-story, 270,000-sq-ft commercial building in Philadelphia. When SSH Real Estate purchased the property in 2005, it was faced with a failing HVAC system.
"We had a number of tenants that wanted to leave," building manager Gene O'Donnell said. "... The system we had in place was an energy hog that was affecting bottom-line revenue. ... There was no question we needed a new system."
SSH Real Estate sought a system offering the best net present value and that would lower energy expenses, fit inside the building's mechanical room, and not be difficult to operate. Also, it wanted the retrofit performed without building operations being interrupted and tenants affected.
In 2007, SSH Real Estate solicited bids to replace the building's outdated 500- and 600-ton chillers and retained Tozour Energy Systems to perform life-cycle-cost analysis. The solution included two 300-ton chillers, as well as IceBank thermal-energy-storage tanks from CALMAC Manufacturing Corp.
"The circular design with the tube sheets rolled gets a lot more burn out of each cubic foot of CALMAC's energy-storage tanks, significantly reducing the cost and size of each tank," Kevin Keenan, manager of energy-project development for Tozour Energy Systems, said.
The CALMAC system was installed while the building was in operation without tenant satisfaction being impacted. The energy-storage tanks fit easily into the building's mechanical room, where the chillers also were located. Operators were trained to optimize the system, alleviating concerns about the system being overly complicated.
Initially, ice was made at night, when power was relatively inexpensive, and used to cool the building the following day, when power was more expensive. Following deregulation of the electricity market, however, power prices became difficult to predict.
First, controls and the building-automation system were upgraded, which reduced annual energy use from 1.6 million kwh to 1.1 million kwh. Then, with VPower software from Viridity Energy, the CALMAC system was changed to a demand-response system.
The load-optimization process of the VPower software determines the duration and rate of energy-storage charging and discharging. Building operators can call on stored energy to substantially reduce the mechanical cooling load for demand response without impacting tenants, unlike alternative demand-response methods, such as changing the thermostat and shutting off lights during energy emergencies.
Revenue Generator
The VPower software enabled building operators to forecast power prices and utilize the HVAC system to generate revenue.
"Viridity Energy can forecast where prices ... will be for the next day on an hour-by-hour basis and provide a schedule ... through the building-automation system, which the ice system is tied into, to make ice or burn ice," H.G. Chissell, vice president, Northeast region and strategic accounts, Viridity Energy, said. "When they are using ice, they are not using their chillers, and their load drops. We can then make sure that the grid operator knows that this load is dropping during these hours and they don't have to go to a power plant. The grid operator diverts the income, or the money, to the building."
Keenan added: "Power companies have said: 'If we need 1 MW of power to satisfy the grid, we can go to a power plant and see how much that would cost. Alternatively, we can pay you, the building owner, the same thing we would have paid the power plant for that megawatt.' So, you're actually getting a revenue stream by freeing up more power for the power plant to use."
With energy storage, the HVAC-system upgrade, and the software, nearly $40,000 a month in energy is being saved during warmer months. Further, through response to market-based pricing and demand-response programs, $10,000 of revenue is being generated per year.
"This is found money," O'Donnell said. "We don't need 1 sq ft of space in this building to make this money, and the tenants in this building see no change at all. We're as happy as pigs in mud. The system works."
The CALMAC system provided a payback of just two years.
The new chillers and thermal-energy-storage tanks not only offered the best net present value and significantly cut energy costs, they are helping the building prepare for future changes in energy. Since deregulation, 1500 Walnut Street has used software from Viridity Energy to become the first building in downtown Philadelphia to integrate with the smart grid and use its HVAC system to earn revenue.

In-Memory Database System (IMDBS) specialist McObject has added support in its eXtremeDB product for Language Integrated Query (LINQ), a Microsoft .NET Framework component that adds SQL-like data querying capabilities to .NET languages.
After already providing a C# API for eXtremeDB, McObject is showcasing this new support extension as a further expansion of its product's functionalities. The C# API itself has provided developers with what is arguably a new and more extensible approach to database querying. Programmers also get protection against software bugs caused by data-typing errors.
Effective immediately, eXtremeDB editions for Windows support LINQ and include a specialized LINQ provider that implements queries using multiple database index types. LINQ queries can be included in any application that defines and interacts with an eXtremeDB database using the C# API.
McObject contends that developers accustomed to SQL will find many LINQ query operators, such as "Select", "Where" and "Join", to be familiar. The company makes other unreferenced and unsubstantiated claims relating to other frequently cited LINQ benefits, which apparently include higher developer productivity (through easy query parameterization and code reuse, for example) and the ability to query a wide range of data sources including RDBMSs, XML files, and .NET collection classes.
"LINQ enables eXtremeDB for .NET users to benefit from the IntelliSense feature of Microsoft's Visual Studio, which automatically completes text the developer is typing, fills in symbols and parameters, and provides other services to speed up programming. In addition, LINQ adds type-safety: Queries are checked for correctness when compiled and, if necessary, rejected. This eliminates data-typing errors, which comprise a major source of runtime bugs," said the company in a statement.
There's a degree of sales spin with this latest announcement from McObject, but if you buy the concept then there may be something in it. McObject suggests that its eXtremeDB IMDBS delivers the responsiveness demanded in real-time applications that cannot tolerate the latency imposed by on-disk database systems.
Key features include all-in-memory data storage and manipulation; support for ACID (Atomic, Consistent, Isolated, and Durable) database transactions, complex data types and multiple database indexes; a powerful debugging environment and multiple, intuitive APIs; custom collations; optional multi-version concurrency control (MVCC) transaction manager; RC4 encryption and page-level cyclic redundancy check (CRC), for security; exceptional portability; and available source code.

The manga is great, although I prefer the anime Nagisa to the manga version. She's too much of a dumbass in the manga, about a hair away from getting abused. The manga Shizuma is a little better than the anime version-she has more personality in the manga. I think the anime is taking everything slowly, and/or will concentrate on the relationships of the different girls in time. I don't know why the manga and anime are paced so differently (although, manga is usually paced faster).

Nagisa is not too bright in the anime, either, I have to say. At least in the manga she doesn't freeze in one place, unable to move an inch every time Shizuma looks at her.
The characters in the manga so far seem better developed than in the anime, maybe that's just because so few things have actually happened in the anime and so little time has passed in it.

I can't say this was the best chapter but the manga is still better than the anime. It's interesting to note that Kaname a.k.a The Evil Lesbian is in the Spica Student Council in the anime but not in the manga. Tsubomi is in the student council of Spica in the manga.

Why not are the anime of Strawberry Panic in AnimeSuki?
I try to search that anime but I don't found it... and it's very strange to me...
but Gakuen Heaven are in the torrents... I really don't understand the USA girls. What happen with them?
Strawberry Panic is really very popular in spanish and latin-american girls. Yes the yuri is more popular than yaoi in Spain, Mexico, Colombia and many other South American countries, but I see that USA girls don't like much yuri... I really don't understand why.
Frozen-Layer: Strawberry Panic
Frozen-Layer: Gakuen Heaven
I never thought to see many difference and only by the language.
Gakuen Heaven sucks totally in Frozen-Layer. All says that is a very very bad anime. But here... in AnimeSuki this anime shounen-ai is very good.
Why there is as much difference?
I see that in USA the yuri is more supported by boys than girls.
While in many others country that speak spanish is more supported by girls than boys.

The anime is a media factory series. A while back they sent a letter asking that their series be removed from animesuki. That's why you won't find it here. It's being fansubbed in english, but I can't tell you where to get it. Though finding strawberry panic fansubs shouldn't be too hard.

-And Succubus Evaligan, if you like to, ask some of the moderators to add the torrents for "Strawberry Panic" since you're not liking their selection. Also "The Frozen Layer Network" is a spanish site too correct?
- About your comment on "yuri is supported more by males then females", isn't it obvious that, that should be like that? It's not like you're gonna see females downloading a whole bunch of girl on girl anime/pron now.
- I don't think Strawberry panic is that great. It's funny to see Aoi Nagisa go limp like a noodle when Shizuma grab her, but that's pretty much all. ^_^ I rather enjoy how they make it yuri without having much or any nudity ^_^.

The saga surrounding a Westchester, N.Y. newspaper's decision to publish an interactive map showing the names and addresses of gun owners has taken an even more dramatic turn.
Reporters are reportedly receiving envelopes filled with white power and feel so unsafe sleeping in their homes the newspaper is shelling out money for hotel rooms.
The Journal News' map plots out names and addresses of registered gun owners in Westchester and Rockland counties.
The map sparked such strong community outrage the newspaper hired armed guards to protect its headquarters.
But things are getting even worse for Journal News reporters, president and publisher Janet Hasson revealed to The New York Times.
From the Times' story:
Some reporters have received notes saying they would be shot on the way to their cars; bloggers have encouraged people to steal credit card information of Journal News employees; and two packages containing white powder have been sent to the newsroom and a third to a reporter's home (all were tested by the police and proved to be harmless).
Hasson told the Times she has paid for staff members to stay in hotels if they feel unsafe in their homes and has encouraged employees to change their home phone numbers.
She has also offered to have guards walk employees to their cars.
The Journal News itself is also receiving suspicious packages. The newspaper got envelopes containing suspicious white powder on both Wednesday and Friday of last week, the News reported Saturday. It turned out to be baking powder, but Hasson indicated the paper is taking the threats seriously.
"As journalists, we are prepared for criticism," Hasson told the Times. "But in the U.S., journalists should not be threatened."

Most small businesses depend on an office manager for performance of the whole range of routine management tasks-all the bookkeeping, payroll, correspondence, scheduling, and personnel matters. If the office manager gets bogged-down in any single task, all of the other work suffers. Billing probably ranks second on the list of a business managers priorities, right behind managing the payroll.

Spotify Finally Launches In Germany -- And Immediately Hits Data Protection Problems
from the one-thing-after-another dept
The music streaming service Spotify has adopted a rather unusual pattern of launches around the world. Founded in Sweden, it spread gradually to various parts of Europe, and only later arrived in the US. The main reason for this slow rollout seems to have been difficulty striking licensing deals with the major recording companies.
That's also why Spotify has only just launched in the important market of Germany. The main problem is the notoriously unhelpful German music collection society GEMA. Surprisingly, Spotify still doesn't have a license, but it turns out that's only one of its problems in the country. Via Twitter, Arjan points out that Germany's Federal Commissioner for Data Protection, Peter Schaar, and Berlin's Data Protection Commissioner, Alexander Dix, are both unhappy with Spotify, since it seems to be incompatible with Germany's data protection laws (German original.)
The problem arises from the fact that Spotify requires users to have a Facebook account to sign up. That means it is not possible to use the service anonymously or pseudonymously -- as required by German law. It's not yet clear what the data protection commissioners intend to do about this -- Dix, for example, is simply recommending that Spotify changes its business model to render it compatible with German laws.
It's rather appropriate that when Spotify launches in Germany, a country well-known for its concerns about privacy, it should encounter problems in this area -- just as it was probably inevitable that soon after its arrival in the US, Spotify was sued for alleged patent infringement.

The Hope College Great Performance Series will present the Calefax Reed Quintet on Tuesday, Feb. 28, at 7:30 p.m. in Dimnent Memorial Chapel.
"The New York Times" has praised the quintet's "unadulterated virtuosity," while the "New Jersey Star Ledger" has called the group "one of the classical arena's best-kept secrets."
The Amsterdam-based ensemble has won a number of awards over its 25-year history. The five musicians arrange, recompose and interpret music from eight centuries to suit their collection: from early music to classical and jazz to world premieres; in the hands of Calefax it all sounds fresh and new.
The history of Calefax goes back to the year 1985, when the Amsterdam grammar school "Barlaeus" celebrated its century-long existence with an opera by Willem van Manen. It was performed by the pupils of the school. Four boys from the school orchestra decided to further develop themselves musically in a wind quartet. They dared to ask van Manen, an established composer, to write a piece for them. To their surprise he contacted them in the summer of 1985 with the message that he had finished the piece. He had added a clarinet to their ensemble, which appeared to be an enrichment of the sound spectrum.
Calefax also feels at home outside the boundaries of classical music, as shown by the fruitful collaboration with the Tony Overwater Trio in recent years. The ensemble's latest CD was released in January 2009, featuring the works of Conlon Nancarrow, the result of years of study and musical pleasure with pianist Ivo Janssen.
Individual tickets are $18 for regular admission, $13 for senior citizens, and $6 for children 18 and under. Tickets are available at the ticket office in the main lobby of the DeVos Fieldhouse, which is open weekdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and can be called at (616) 395-7890.
The DeVos Fieldhouse is located at 222 Fairbanks Ave., between Ninth and 11th streets. Dimnent Memorial Chapel is located at 277 College Ave., on College Avenue at 12th Street.

Kenworth Truck Co. is celebrating 90 years in business in 2013 and will be hosting a number of events throughout the year to mark the occasion. (The company said it will release details on these as they come closer.)
Founded in 1923 by Harry W. Kent and Edgar K. Worthington, the company built its legacy on building the right truck for each customer's application, and "build that truck to last."
That first year, the small Seattle truck manufacturer produced 78 six-cylinder, gasoline-powered trucks.
The company was the first to install diesel engines as standard equipment, it said, in 1933. It also noted that it sold the first sleeper cab in 1936.
Along the company has produced more than 900,000 trucks and achieved many milestones. Among them was the Kenworth T600A, which it said was one of the first truly aerodynamic Class 8 trucks, in 1985. A year later, the Kenworth T800 was introduced and is widely recognized for serving productively in applications such as dump truck, mixer, logger, and extreme heavy haul. The milestone 250,000th T800 was produced and celebrated last year.
At the 2012 Mid-America Trucking Show, Kenworth pushed its aerodynamics envelop again with the introduction of the T680.
"Over the past 90 years, Kenworth has played an essential role in the development of trucks that are more fuel efficient, productive and economical to operate," said Gary Moore, Kenworth's general manager and PACCAR vice president. "It's the foundation that began when Harry Kent and Edgar Worthington incorporated the Gersix Motor Company as 'Kenworth' in 1923, and delivering trucks that provide exceptional performance continues today.
Kenworth's claim is that it makes the World's Best Trucks. While some might argue that point, 90 years of building trucks is a pretty good yardstick to have on your side of the argument.
