Oregon Association of Nurseries Executive Director Jeff Stone said that although the state has fewer nurseries now than at the beginning of the economic downturn five years ago, things are looking up for the industry.
This recession, he said, has lasted longer than others that Oregon nurseries have weathered, but positive indicators that the industry is bouncing back, like shortages in plant materials, are starting to appear.
Shortages can indicate buyers are purchasing in greater bulk and with more confidence, he said.
"Oregon is primed to shore up those shortages because of our ability to grow things faster with higher quality. We'll once again shine in the minds of those buying plants and trees," Stone said.
But despite the uptick in business, Stone said the recession has changed the marketplace and growers are now more cautious in forecasting sales and planting stock.
"It's changed the mentality of the industry, that you can't just plant it and sell it," he said.
He pointed out that Oregon is the second largest nursery state in the U.S.
"We are seeing improvement out there," Stone said. "Oregon will lag the rest of the country; we're usually one of the first ones in a recession and one of the last ones out.
"Is it going to be the rocketship growth that they experienced during the heyday? Probably not, but it will be growth. I think those that survived will find themselves fortified and have a great possibility for success."
As part of a long-term protection for Oregon growers, this year OAN backed Senate Bill 839, which the Legislature passed in July and created the Water Supply Development Fund. The investment fund is a new way to help the Oregon Water Resources Department fund water development projects and underscores the need for securing future water resources.
Stone said the decision for the OAN to support the bill came from the realization that climate change is occurring and could decrease the state's future water resources.
"Without reliable water storage and balance, there will be a long-term impact on the survivability of this industry," he said.
The fund is designed to evaluate projects that don't favor one sector or the other — economy or the environment — but approach development and resource allocation from a holistic perspective. Funds will be allotted to competitive projects that are judged based on a combination of environmental, social and economic benefits, Stone said.
"If you need state funds, then you really need to balance your approach. We think that's in the long-term health of fish, families and farms," he said.
Another success for the OAN this year was the passage of Senate Bill 833, which allows undocumented workers in Oregon to obtain a driver's card.
"It was our number one legislative priority. We believe folks in the agriculture community should be able to get to work," Stone said.
The cards will be issued to applicants who fulfill minimum state requirements and have lived in Oregon for more than one year. The cards must be renewed every four years, unlike state driver's licenses, which are renewed every eight years. Cards can only be used to provide evidence of driving privileges.
"(A driver's card) is solely for the ability to understand the rules of the road and make our roads more safe. It's not just an undocumented worker issue with people being unlicensed and uninsured — we want to try to reduce any barrier, regardless if you are an undocumented immigrant, someone who is elderly, or someone who is homeless," Stone said.
The law will go into effect Jan. 1.

A Gardena man was killed Friday and a police officer was wounded in an officer-involved shooting in Inglewood, authorities said.
Police responded about 3 a.m. to the 3800 block of 113th Street on a report of a man screaming, according to Inglewood police Lt. Scott Collins.
"When the officers arrived, an officer-involved shooting occurred,'' Inglewood police Lt. Jacqueline Layne said. "One officer sustained a gunshot wound to his hand and the suspect was mortally wounded.''
It was unclear exactly how the officer was wounded, or if the suspect was armed.
The officer was hospitalized in "stable' condition.
The deceased suspect was identified as 40-year-old Paul Ray Kemp Jr. of Gardena, said Los Angeles County coroner's Operations Chief Craig Harvey.
Kemp's autopsy was pending, Harvey said.
"Detectives are in the process of conducting a thorough investigation,'' Layne said.
Anyone with information is asked to call Inglewood detectives at 310-412-5240 or the 24-hour anonymous hotline at 888-41-CRIME (888-412-7463).

Excerpts from pope's first news conference
ABOARD THE PAPAL AIRCRAFT (AP) — Pope Francis gave a wide-ranging news conference on his trip back to Rome from Brazil, candidly responding to some of the touchiest issues facing the Vatican during an hour and 22-minute long chat with reporters. Here are highlights.
HE WON'T JUDGE PRIESTS FOR THEIR SEXUAL ORIENTATION: "If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?"
HE BENDS TO HIS BODYGUARDS ON PAPAL SECURITY: "I'd like to walk in the streets. But I know it's impossible."
NO IMMINENT TRIP TO HIS NATIVE ARGENTINA SINCE HE'S JUST RETURNED FROM BRAZIL: "A Latin American pope, his first trip to Latin America? Arrivederci."
CHURCH SHOULD BUILD BIGGER ROLE FOR WOMEN — THOUGH NOT AS PRIESTS: "We must go farther in the explicitness of the role and charisma of women living in the church."
THAT MYSTERIOUS BLACK BAG HE CARRIED ONTO THE PLANE HELD ONLY HIS RAZOR AND BOOKS: "The keys to the atomic bomb weren't in it."
HE'S TIRED AND HE HURT HIS SCIATIC NERVE USING A BAD CHAIR IN HIS FIRST MONTH AS POPE: "It was so painful. So painful! I wouldn't wish it in anyone."
HE LIKES HIS ADVISERS TO CHALLENGE HIM: "I like it when someone tells me 'I don't agree.' This is a true collaborator. When they say 'Oh, how great, how great, how great,'" that's not useful.
HE LOVES RETIRED POPE BENEDICT XVI LIKE A GRANDFATHER: "The last time there were two or three popes, they didn't talk among themselves and they fought over who was the true pope!" Having Benedict living in the Vatican "is like having a grandfather — a wise grandfather — living at home."

The donuts you will definitely enjoy!
October 20th, 2008
I always like donuts, from Dunkin' Donuts to Big Apple to home-made, I like it, especially when it is glazed with white chocolate or mint with chocolate chips. Sounds yummy isn't it?
Then one day, someone posted something online that caught my eyes – Bbq Donut. So I decided I would check this BBQ Donut out because I've tried so many donuts over the years and I have never see nor tried a barbequed flavored donut before.
To my surprise, this is the first picture I saw when I typed "bbq donut" and pressed SEARCH:
Well, I understand why it is called "donut" because of the round shape, but I don't know why "bbq". So the probing and researching began.

About Kenny Harris
Realist painter Kenny Harris combines a rigorous classicism with gestural brushstrokes and rich areas of impasto, drawing material for his work from his extensive travels through South America, Europe, Cuba, and Istanbul. Inspired by the Dutch and Italian Masters, Harris paints with sensitive attention to the play of light, perspective, and the balanced composition of his works. "I'm drawn to certain conditions of light and space, which usually contain elements of isolation, reflection, or atmospheric perspective," he explains. "These come together in various genres—the spare interior, the figure in contemplation, the atmospheric landscape or cityscape."

• THE REKA PARKER/PAUL SEAFORTH QUARTET: Saturday, May 3 at DIZZY'S, 4275 Mission Bay Drive. 8 p.m. $15. www.dizzysjazz.com.
The 710 Beach Club — always a popular nightspot — has taken on more importance for fans of original music in light of the recent shuttering of The Griffin and the apparent temporary closure of Brick by Brick. On May 9, the venue will host an indie rock showcase with Able the Allies, Arson Academy, Mad Z and the Boones, Monkeys in Space and Tyler Beach. All are well worth checking out. But Tulsa-based Able the Allies takes the edge with a dense, grungy sonic blast of a sound that still incorporates its share of hooks. While original music in clubs doesn't draw the same attention as cover bands or tributes, it is more important. After all, who will future tribute bands cover?
• ABLE THE ALLIES: Friday, May 9 at the 710 BEACH CLUB, 710 Garnet Ave. 9 p.m. 21 and up. www.710bc.com.
Still one of the most popular bands touring today after nearly 40 years, it's only natural that Cheap Trick has tribute bands in its honor. On May 10, one of the area's best tribute bands — Cheapest Trick — will perform at Tio Leo's on a bill with Cars tribute band The Dangerous Types. While the band's repertoire includes classics from throughout Cheap Trick's career, visually they stick to the early-days look, highlighted by guitarist Rick Nielsen in a red cardigan. With a set list that includes such evergreens as "Surrender," "I Want You to Want Me" and "Dream Police," there won't be any surprises to be heard on this night, but fans of the '70s power-poppers will have a great night out.
• CHEAPEST TRICK: Saturday, May 10 at TIO LEO'S, 5302 Napa St. 9 p.m. 21 and up. Cover TBD. www.tioleos.com.
One of the finest flute players in Southern California, Lori Bell will perform with pianist Diane Snodgrass at the Pacific Beach Branch Library on May 14. Seen recently in a series of themed shows, Bell's latest album, "The Music of Djavan," is a wonderful showcase for her talents, though listeners are also advised to investigate her collaborative and improvisational powers with her appearance on guitarist Wayne Riker's latest disc, "Groovin' with the Top Brass." Bell is a major talent who is at home in the worlds of classical, jazz and pop. Even if you are not a big fan of the flute, Bell's skills, technique and way with a melody will impress.
• LORI BELL AND DIANE SNODGRASS: Wednesday, May 14 at THE PACIFIC BEACH BRANCH LIBRARY, 4275 Cass St. 7 p.m. All ages. No cover. www.pblibraryfriends.org/concert.htm.
There's no other way to put it: The Afro Jazziacs are an instant party. Mixing up Latin jazz with even more tropical rhythms, the band's music is infectious, danceable fun. The Afro Jazziacs will be performing at Café-Bar Europa every Friday, starting at 9 p.m. — the perfect way to kick off the weekend. They have yet to record an album, but with a band like this that's okay. It would be impossible to capture this much energy in a recording studio. Essentially a trio with guest performers, the band makes a joyous sound and it's hard not to get caught up in its free flowing, improvisationally-oriented songs.

GOP for legal pot? Hemignway's high help
August 26. 2014 6:52PM
Andrew Hemingway, running for the Republican nomination for governor, has sent some conflicting messages about marijuana, but the legalization crowd has heard him loud and clear. They think he is for it, and they are rallying to him.
Hemingway has said at times that he is for decriminalizing the possession of small amounts of marijuana. He also has said he is "open to a path to legalization." We think he is more than just open to it, but firmly for it. Others seem to share that view, or at least hold that hope.
In May, the national Marijuana Policy Project backed Hemingway and urged its supporters to vote for him in the Republican primary — even if they are Democrats.
The project alerted its supporters that New Hampshire allows registered independents to vote in either party's primary, and it gave non-Republicans instructions on how to change their affiliation to independent so they could vote for Hemingway in the primary.
The project also appears to have donated $7,000 to Hemingway's campaign, which he does not seem too eager for people to know. Though the law requires every campaign donor to be identified, Hemingway's campaign finance report did not include the name of the donor who gave $7,000 from the Washington, D.C., address of the Marijuana Policy Project.
If Hemingway is full-blown libertarian on drug legalization, fine. But he needs to come clean with Republican primary voters and say so.

NHIAA Div. I Boys' Basketball: Boykin lifts BG over CentralBy JIM FENNELL
New Hampshire Union Leader
March 08. 2013 11:12PM
MANCHESTER - The stage was set Friday for Central High to return to Durham for the semifinals of the Division I boys' basketball tournament.
The second-seeded Little Green had the lead and seventh-seeded Bishop Guertin had its big man, senior center Jeff Lunn, on the bench with four fouls.
The third quarter was less than a minute old.
That's when C.J. Boykin happened.
In what will certainly be remembered as a signature moment in the junior guard's blossoming career, Boykin scored 14 of his game-high 22 points in the second half and overtime as the visiting Cardinals ended the Little Green's season with a 72-70 quarterfinal win in front of a boisterous crowd.
Central nearly forced a second overtime when sophomore guard Brett Hanson stole an inbound pass and got off a shot that just fell short at the buzzer.
Bishop Guertin (15-5) moves on to play third-seeded Spaulding High of Rochester in a semifinal game Tuesday at the University of New Hampshire's Lundholm Gymnasium (6 p.m.)
Boykin has missed large chunks of the past two seasons with injuries and BG coach Jim Migneault said he is just starting to scratch the surface of his potential, Boykin did some serious scratching against the Little Green.
He opened the third quarter with a 3-pointer, knocked down another, made three foul shots after being fouled shooting a 3 and added three assists. He set up Kyle Gavin for a pair of late threes that highlighted a 11-0 run in the final 1:32 of the quarter, as BG turned a six-point halftime deficit into a five-point lead after three quarters.
Credit Central (16-4), which ended the season losing four of five games, for not folding. The Little Green scored the first seven points of the fourth quarter to regain the lead and were up 55-52 before Boykin made three more free throws after being fouled shooting - part of a 9-3 run that gave BG a 59-55 lead late in the fourth quarter.
A 3-pointer by Dawson Dickson (21 points) got Central to within 61-60 and the Little Green went up 62-61 after a BG turnover and layup by Hanson (10). Lunn (12) dribbled hard into the lane against a double-team and came away with a conventional three-point play to put BG ahead again, 64-62, with 51 seconds left. Back came the Little Green as a steal by Tyler Kelly set up Dickson for a layup to tie the game. Dickson missed the accompanying free throw, but Troy Pelletier (17) got the rebound. Central called time with 18 seconds left, but couldn't get off a shot on the ensuing possession.
Hanson scored and was fouled on Central's first possession in the extra session and, even though he missed the free throw, Central coach Doc Wheeler said he thought his team would win.
"It felt good," Wheeler said. "I thought we made some plays that gave us some momentum."
Boykin killed that momentum. After torching the Little Green in regulation with jumpers off the dribble that caught Central by surprise, he made them pay when they came hard after him, finding his teammates for open shots. He set up Gavin (15 points) and Steven Toscano (10 points), and faked a pass that led to him being fouled for a pair of free throws - he was 11-for-12 from the line - as BG went up 70-68.
They upped the lead to 72-68 after a Central miss and a Gavin layup with 17 seconds left.
Central's final gasp came with 4.2 seconds left. Pelletier was fouled and made both free throws. The Little Green stole the inbound pass, but Hanson's 18-foot shot in the corner came up short at the buzzer.

NORTH EASTHAM — Michael Dunn is listed as backup quarterback on the Dennis-Yarmouth football roster, but it was his running and receiving skills that were on full display Thursday during the 17th annual Chowder Bowl.
NORTH EASTHAM — Michael Dunn is listed as backup quarterback on the Dennis-Yarmouth football roster, but it was his running and receiving skills that were on full display Thursday during the 17th annual Chowder Bowl.
The speedy sophomore rushed for 161 yards and two touchdowns and hauled in a 20-yard reception for another score to lift the Dolphins (6-4, 5-1 Atlantic Coast League) to a 28-7 upset win against powerful Nauset (9-2, 4-2 ACL).
D-Y outgained Nauset 366-261 in total yardage, including 222-134 on the ground, and an opportunistic Dolphins defense created four huge turnovers. Spencer Tyler completed nine of 16 passes for 144 yards and two touchdowns to Dunn and Liam Matheson.
"We came out and played a strong game on both sides of the ball," said D-Y coach Paul Funk. "Nauset is an excellent team with a strong front line and we knew we'd have to throw the ball against them. (Defensive coordinator) Tommy Campbell did a great job with our defense and we took the ball away from them in key spots."
Dennis-Yarmouth now leads the Chowder Bowl series 12-5 and has won 10 straight games dating back to 2003.
The Warriors' single-wing attack was hampered with standout Jimmy Sullivan playing with a heavily taped sprained ankle suffered two weeks ago in a 13-12 loss at Plymouth South.
Sullivan was held to 13 yards rushing, but managed to finish with 1,006 yards on the season. He also went 5-for-12 passing for 92 yards. Colby Frodel led the Warriors with 58 yards rushing and completed three of five passes for 34 yards.
D-Y intercepted three passes, recovered one fumble and won the all-important battle of field position.
"Turnovers killed us and we couldn't gain any momentum," said Nauset coach Keith Kenyon. "Every time we seemed to get something going, we'd commit a costly mistake. Jimmy (Sullivan) played his heart out, but couldn't move well."
Following fumble recoveries by the Dolphins' Mike Anderson and Nauset's Roland Kaplan and an interception by Colby Frodel, D-Y took a 7-0 lead on an electrifying 65-yard run by Dunn near the end of a mistake-filled opening quarter.
The visitors took a 13-0 halftime lead on a 20-yard touchdown pass from Tyler to Dunn, set up on an interception by Spencer McCaffrey.
A 46-yard pass from Sullivan to Harry Lynch and a pass interference penalty placed the ball inside the Nauset 25 for the Warriors, but the half ended on a missed field goal by Nauset.
The Warriors cut the deficit to 13-7 on the opening series of the third quarter on a 17-yard scoring burst by Colby Frodel and an extra point kick by Zach Altneu to cap a methodical drive.
But the Dolphins regained momentum right back on a 5-yard scoring toss from Tyler to Matheson and a Tyler 2-point rush on the next series gave D-Y a 21-7 lead with 2:15 left in the third quarter. A 45-yard completion from Tyler to Matheson set up the score.
The speedy Dunn placed the final nail in the Warriors' coffin when he burst up the middle for a 78-yard scoring run midway through the fourth quarter. Interceptions by L.K. Metz in the third quarter and John Downs in the fourth thwarted Nauset drives.
"I'm very happy for our seniors today," said Funk, who credited the secondary of Matheson, Metz and McCaffrey. "We had extra practice time (since the last game) and it seemed to pay off."

DUDLEY, Mass. - Making the first appearance in the NCAA Division III Tournament in program history, the MIT field hockey team picked up a hard-fought, 2-1, decision over Nichols College on Wednesday night at Vendetti Field. The Engineers opened up a two-goal lead in the first half and withstood a furious, late rally to advance past the host Bison. Kimberly Barker and Ekavali Mishra found the scoring column and Keri Dixon had another spectacular performance in net to help the Cardinal and Grey earn its 18th win in this record-breaking campaign. Nichols' season comes to an end at 18-4.
MIT began attacking from the opening whistle, outshooting the Bison, 15-3, in the first half while controlling possession for most of the frame. Barker put MIT on the board early, tipping a shot from Kameron Klauber past the Nichols goalkeeper just five minutes into the game. It was the 20th goal of the season for the freshman, who was recently named to the NEWMAC Second Team All-Conference.
Nichols threatened midway through the period, with a sequence of five consecutive penalty corners but Dixon and the defense withstood each try.
Danielle Smith nearly doubled the lead with 11:43 remaining but Nichols keeper, Krista-Jean Forand, tipped her shot wide, thwarting the scoring opportunity. However, after the Engineers earned a penalty corner of their own five minutes later, one of nine in the opening stanza, they finally broke through for a second tally. Mishra entered the ball on the corner and, following a scramble at the top of the circle, received it back from Molly McShane, pushing it home for the 2-0 advantage.
Nichols would not go quietly, getting an unassisted marker from Barbara Roy just over seven minutes into the second half. Dixon made a pair of saves on the initial attack but MIT was unable to clear the rebound and Roy was there to convert the rebound.
Neither team was able to generate much offensive momentum until the final minute, when Nichols had a pair of chances to tie the game. The Bison earned a penalty corner with 45 seconds to go but Dixon, once again, picked up a key save to preserve the one-goal lead. As the clock ticked down, the teams battled in MIT's defensive zone. Tech had a few opportunities to clear the ball and clinch the win but was unable to get it downfield. As the clock hit zero, the Engineers' bench erupted thinking they had advanced. However, the referees awarded the Bison one final corner with no time remaining. The defense stood tall, once again, just as it had done all game, and sent the Cardinal and Grey into the Second Round.
Dixon made 10 saves, including seven in the second half. The junior has now given up just five total goals in the last nine games, all MIT wins. The nine-game winning streak is also program record. Forand had 10 saves in the losing effort. MIT outshot the Bison, 22-12, and had a 14-13 advantage in corners.
The Engineers now move on to the next round of the Championship, earning a date on Saturday, November 14 with Tufts University. MIT will make the short trip to Medford, Mass. for an 11:00 a.m. start Saturday morning. Skidmore and Amherst will play in the other game Saturday, with the winners facing off on Sunday.

Phil Jagielka insists that Everton cannot use injuries and suspensions as an excuse for poor form over the festive period.
Marouane Fellaini will miss the next three games after headbutting Ryan Shawcross, while the Toffees are also set to be without Victor Anichebe, Kevin Mirallas, Phil Neville and Tony Hibbert in the upcoming weeks.
Ahead of Everton's trip to face West Ham on Saturday, Jagielka told The Liverpool Echo:"It's not like we have had massive squads in the past, it is par for the course that we have 16-18 senior players,
"It will test our squad because it is always a busy time but the manager knows what he is doing and if someone needs rest then I'm sure they'll get it.
"We just have to get some much-needed points to keep us at the top of the league."
The Toffees are currently sixth after 17 games, and are only two points off the Champions League places.
The England international remains cautious at this stage, however, and is hoping Everton can show their typical strength in the second half of seasons once again this term.
He continued: "We don't want to be looking too far ahead - we normally have a good second half to the season but that is not a guarantee.
"The manager will be nervous now because this is where our season normally starts.
"It would be nice to put two parts of the season together rather than just one."

Here's a question to ponder: Can Americans afford to tip-toe gingerly into the future, or are we being flung headfirst into an era of rapid change and the challenge before us is to react as proficiently and studiously as possible to position ourselves for a more secure future?
For better or worse, the latter seems to dictate the times.
• Climate change is upon us and scientists keep shortening the window of opportunity to right the wrongs we've done.

What does XMLTV actually *do* ?
Any good PVR system needs to know when to record. Systems like VideoPlus in the UK, where numbers encode start and stop times, have made programming easier, but it's much easier to just look at an EPG and click on the programme you want to record.
However, there is no central system for acquiring TV programme data, at present, so that's where XMLTV comes in. XMLTV's job is to take program data off the internet and convert it to a standard format for PVRs like MythTV and FreeVO.
Why XMLTV is so problematic?
The problem with XMLTV is it is grabbing data from places that weren't really designed to supply it. It kind of "screen scrapes" - it looks at a web page containing TV information like this, http://www.bbc.co.uk/cgi-perl/whatson/search/grid.cgi?MEDIUM=tvTemplate:Linkrot and tries to rip the text off it and convert it into an easy to use format. Things can go wrong with this ; if the website decides it's going to reformat its text, then it will cease to work properly or indeed at all.
What about the DVB-T EPG ?
DVB-T, aka Freeview here, has programme guide information embedded in it ; any UK Freeview set top box has an EPG. It seems to be problematic getting this to work in MythTV, as it is currently "in development". When it does work, this will make it much easier as XMLTV can be abandoned, for DVB-T anyway (still needed for analogue, which is sound and video only)
One downside of the DVB-T EPG is that it only goes 7 days into the future, whereas XMLTV does 14 days. This is useful if you want to record when you are on holiday.
If your grabber isn't available in the package in community, you have to try and compile xmltv yourself. You can choose between two ways of obtaining a self compiled xmltv installation. You can use ABS and edit the PKGBUILD to make a package or compile it by hand.
Make a package
Refer to the wiki page about the Arch Build System (ABS) on how to use it. Copy the directory xmltv to your build directory. Now you have to check, why your grabber isn't available. Extract the source and run Makefile.PL:
makepkg -e cd src/"PKGNAME" perl Makefile.PL
You will be prompted for every grabber. The script will tell you, which grabber isn't supported and why. You will have to install additional dependencies then. For the grabber "tv_grab_eu_epgdata" for example you will have to install perl-datetime-format-strptime from AUR. Add these dependecies in the PKGBUILD and run makepkg.
Compile by hand
You first need to obtain the current version of XMLTV ; this can be downloaded from Sourceforge http://sourceforge.net/projects/xmltv ; the current version as I write is 0.5.45
After having downloaded it, create a working directory somewhere and untar the source into it.
cd /aux/arch/mythtv tar xjvf /home/paulr/Desktop/xmltv-0.5.45.tar.bz2 cd xmltv-0.5.45
this will create a directory xmltv-0.5.45 in the saved directory with the source code in it, then change to it. Now, we're going to install some basic dependencies. In spite of the long list, there's not actually very much code downloaded here.
su pacman -S perl-archive-zip perl-date-manip perl-html-tableextract perl-http-cache-transparent perl-io-stringy perl-term-progressbar perl-unicode-string perl-www-mechanize perl-xml-twig perl-xml-writer libxml2 perl-xml-libxml (Ctrl+D)
and next, we will attempt to compile the program
perl Makefile.PL
This should produce a listing that looks like this.
XMLTV.pm library and the filter programs such as tv_grep and tv_sort are installed by default; here you choose grabbers for different countries and front-ends for managing listings. Grabber for Brazil (tv_grab_br) [yes] Grabber for Brazil NET Cable (tv_grab_br_net) [yes] Grabber for Switzerland (tv_grab_ch_bluewin) [yes] Alternative grabber for Britain (tv_grab_uk_rt) [yes] Fast alternative grabber for the UK (tv_grab_uk_bleb) [yes]
.... and so on. Find your country in the list and hopefully it will be marked "yes". If not, try installing perl-tk-tablematrix using Pacman, break with Ctrl+C and run the perl command above again. If it still doesn't work, try installing perl-soap-lite from AUR. If you need the grabber for "epgdata.com" (tv_grab_eu_epgdata), you will have to install perl-datetime-format-strptime.
Fortunately for me, it has found the tv_grab_uk_rt grabber for the UK that I am going to use. Make a note of its name, because I will refer to mine (tv_grab_uk_rt) throughout ; whereas you may need, for example, tv_grab_br
It now asks "Do you want to continue with this configuration ?" ; you actually don't need all those grabbers, but what the heck, just press RETURN for yes.
Now compile and install the program with
make su (then enter your password) make install (Press Ctrl+D to get back to non superuser mode)
Configuring XMLTV
Next we need to configure XMLTV. To do this run
tv_grab_uk_rt --configure
Now, for this grabber, you can individually select whether or not you want each channel. To select every channel (it's quicker to edit the configuration file in a text editor), type:
And it will configure itself to download every single channel it can.
Checking XMLTV actually works
To check it, simply run it.
If all is well, it should churn out reams and reams of channel programme data. It should look like this
<programme start="20070330035500 +0100" stop="20070330042000 +0100" channel="abc1.disney.com"> <title>8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter</title> <sub-title>Rory's Got a Girlfriend</sub-title> <desc lang="en">Sitcom in which a father has his hands full when his wife returns to work and he is left to supervise their teenage daughters. Paul has to face the fact that his son wants to start dating girls, and Kerry envies her sister.</desc> <credits> <actor>John Ritter</actor> <actor>Katey Sagal</actor>

Senator West seeks new approach in cases where deadly force is used
Thursday, April 5th, 2012 @ 1:57PM
DALLAS — State Senator Royce West (D-Dallas) announced his intentions to file legislation that addresses the use of deadly force by armed citizens. This comes in the wake and controversy surrounding the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin by an armed neighborhood watch volunteer. The shooter claimed to have acted in self-defense, invoking use of a Florida "Stand Your Ground" law that provides a defense in situations involving the use of deadly force in response to an attack presumed to be life-threatening. Texas passed a similar law in 2007 commonly referred to as the Castle Doctrine.
"Texans believe strongly in the right to bear arms and I share that belief" said Senator West. "But when tensions escalate and situations turn fatally tragic, we should have a thoughtful, consistent and thorough procedure in place to examine the incident in question.
"While another young man's life has been lost under what are questionable circumstances is tragic in itself, what has caused both alarm and outrage across this country is how the matter was handled by local police," Senator West added.
To date, neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman has not been formally charged or arrested for the shooting that took place February 26. His semi-automatic weapon used in the shooting was not taken into evidence by Sanford, Fla. police. Reports say the 17 year-old victim was tested for alcohol and drugs. Zimmerman was not. The victim's family was not contacted for several days after his death.
In major cities across Texas, any firearm used in a shooting involving the use of deadly force by a private citizen would be secured by law enforcement. In several of those cities, including Dallas, those cases would be forwarded for grand jury review regardless of whether or not an arrest had been made.
Senator West's bill will call for presentation of all deadly force cases to a grand jury for disposition. Also under the proposal, any weapon involved in a shooting fatality would be taken at the scene and held by police pending investigation. While the case is being investigated, a concealed handgun license held by the person in question would be temporarily suspended.
Senator West has also asked Lt. Governor David Dewhurst to assign an interim charge to the appropriate committee to study the use of deadly force by citizens and the manner by which such cases are investigated.

Japanese Man Has Lived As A Naked Hermit For 20 Years On A Deserted Island
The wiry Nagasaki, his skin leathered by the sun of two decades on the island, worked briefly as a photographer before spending years on the murkier side of the entertainment industry.
Introducing my hero. The retired ex-photographer lives, naked and alone, on Sotobanari island, cut off from the rest of the world by typhoons and dangerous currents. Reuters has photos and philosophy from a man forging his own lifestyle:
76-year-old Masafumi Nagasaki has made this kidney-shaped island in Japan's tropical Okinawa prefecture his retirement home. He braves lashing typhoons and biting insects as a hermit in the buff. "I don't do what society tells me, but I do follow the rules of the natural world. You can't beat nature so you just have to obey it completely," he said.
The wiry Nagasaki, his skin leathered by the sun of two decades on the island, worked briefly as a photographer before spending years on the murkier side of the entertainment industry. When retirement came, he wanted to get far away from it all.
He chose Sotobanari, which is roughly a 1,000 meters across and means "Outer Distant island" in the local dialect. It lies off the coast of Iriomote island, far closer to Taiwan than to Tokyo.
His staple food is rice cakes, which he boils in water, eating whenever hunger strikes – sometimes four or five times a day. Water for bathing and shaving comes from rainwater caught in a system of battered cooking pots. Each day is conducted according to a strict timetable, starting with stretches in the sun on the beach. The rest is a race against time as he prepares food, washes and cleans his camp before the light fails and insects come out to bite.
"It hadn't really occurred to me before how important it is to choose the place of your death, like whether it's in a hospital or at home with family by your side. But to die here, surrounded by nature – you just can't beat it, can you?"

WASHINGTON (May 9, 2012) – Median existing single-family home prices are firming in many metropolitan areas, while improving sales and declining inventory are creating more balanced conditions, according to the latest quarterly report by the National Association of Realtors®.
The median existing single-family home price rose in 74 out of 146 metropolitan statistical areas1 (MSAs) based on closings in the first quarter from the same quarter in 2011, while 72 areas had price declines. In the fourth quarter of 2011 only 29 areas were showing gains from a year earlier. A new breakout of income requirements on a metro basis shows most buyers have the necessary income to buy a home in their area, assuming a favorable credit rating.
Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, said there is some volatility in the price performance. "Home prices are more volatile than normal because of sudden upswings in buyer activity in some localities, and also are affected by the prevalence of distressed sales," he said. "Home prices lag sales activity because the transactions were negotiated mostly in the previous quarter. Given the steadily dwindling supply of inventory and notably higher listing prices that are being negotiated today, prices are expected to show further improvements in the near future."
Yun said a big part of the story is housing inventory. "We now have broad shortages of lower priced homes in much of the country, with very tight supply in Western states for homes through the middle price ranges. This is good news for many sellers who wish to list now, or for those waiting for prices to improve."
At the end of the first quarter there were 2.37 million existing homes available for sale, which is 21.8 percent below the close of the first quarter of 2011 when there were 3.03 million homes on the market. There has been a sustained downtrend since inventories set a record of 4.04 million in the summer of 2007.
The national median existing single-family home price was $158,100 in the first quarter, which is 0.4 percent below $158,700 in the first quarter of 2011. The median is where half sold for more and half sold for less. Distressed homes2 – foreclosures and short sales which sold at deep discounts – accounted for 32 percent of first quarter sales; they were 38 percent a year ago.
Total existing-home sales,3 including single-family and condo, increased 4.7 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.57 million in the first quarter from a downwardly revised 4.37 million in the fourth quarter, and were 5.3 percent above the 4.34 million level during the first quarter of 2011 when sales spiked.
"This is the highest first quarter sales pace since 2007," Yun said. "With strong market fundamentals, total home sales this year should rise 7 to 10 percent."
NAR President Moe Veissi, broker-owner of Veissi & Associates Inc., in Miami, said there are more opportunities in today's market. "Historically favorable housing affordability conditions are making it easier for buyers to enter the market despite the unnecessarily tight credit conditions," he said. "Housing supply and demand are roughly balanced with overall housing supply at the lowest level in six years, putting sellers on an even footing with buyers in most markets."
Included with this report is a new breakout on qualifying incomes to purchase a median-priced existing single-family home on a metropolitan area basis, assuming downpayments of 5 percent, 10 percent or 20 percent, and an interest rate of 4 percent with 25 percent of gross income devoted to mortgage principal and interest.
"Qualifying incomes are well below median incomes in most of the country, which means home buyers generally can stay well within their means," Yun said. "For example, a buyer in Indianapolis making a 10 percent downpayment would need an annual income of $24,0004 to purchase a median-priced home, while in Seattle it would be $55,300. For now, buyers are facing an extraordinarily advantageous situation if they can obtain a mortgage."
The national median family income was $61,000 in the first quarter. However, to purchase a home at the national median price, a buyer making a 5 percent downpayment would only need a $34,700 income. With a 10 percent downpayment the required income would be $32,900, while with 20 percent down, the income drops to $29,300.
First-time buyers purchased 33 percent of homes in the first quarter, unchanged from the fourth quarter; they were 32 percent in the first quarter of 2011.
The share of all-cash home purchases in the first quarter was 32 percent, up from 29 percent in the fourth quarter; they were 33 percent in the first quarter of 2011. Investors, drawn by bargain prices and who make up the bulk of cash purchasers, accounted for 22 percent of all transactions in the first quarter, up from 19 percent in the fourth quarter; they were 21 percent a year ago.
In the condo sector, metro area condominium and cooperative prices – covering changes in 52 metro areas – showed the national median existing-condo price was $157,200 in the first quarter, which is up 3.4 percent from the first quarter of 2011. Eighteen metros showed increases in their median condo price from a year ago and 34 areas had declines.
Regionally, existing-home sales in the Northeast jumped 8.6 percent in the first quarter and are 6.6 percent above the first quarter of 2011. The median existing single-family home price in the Northeast declined 3.2 percent to $226,300 in the first quarter from a year ago.
In the Midwest, existing-home sales rose 5.5 percent in the first quarter and are 11.7 percent higher than a year ago. The median existing single-family home price in the Midwest increased 0.8 percent to $125,300 in the first quarter from the same quarter in 2011.
Existing-home sales in the South increased 2.1 percent in the first quarter and are 4.1 percent above the first quarter in 2011. The median existing single-family home price in the South rose 1.2 percent to $143,600 in the first quarter from a year earlier.
Existing-home sales in the West rose 5.9 percent in the first quarter and are 1.4 percent higher than a year ago. The median existing single-family home price in the West slipped 0.9 percent to $196,200 in the first quarter from the first quarter of 2011.

NOTE: NAR releases quarterly median single-family price data for approximately 150 Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs). In some cases the estimated MSA prices may not coincide with data released by state and local Realtor® associations. Any discrepancy may be due to differences in geographic coverage, product mix, and timing. In the event of discrepancies, Realtors® are advised that for specific business purposes, local data from their association may be more relevant.
Data tables for MSA home prices (single family and condo) are posted at www.nar.realtor/topics/metropolitan-median-area-prices-and-affordability. For areas not covered in the tables, please contact the local association of Realtors®.
1Areas are generally metropolitan statistical areas as defined by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget. A list of counties included in MSA definitions is available at: www.census.gov/population/estimates/metro-city/0312msa.txt.
Regional median home prices include rural areas and samples of many smaller metros that are not included in this report; the regional percentage changes do not necessarily parallel changes in the larger metro areas. The only valid comparisons for median prices are with the same period a year earlier due to seasonality in buying patterns. Quarter-to-quarter comparisons do not compensate for seasonal changes, especially for the timing of family buying patterns.
Median price measurement reflects the types of homes that are selling during the quarter and can be skewed at times because the level of distressed sales, which artificially depress median prices, can vary notably in given markets. Annual price measures generally smooth out any quarterly swings.
NAR began tracking of metropolitan area median single-family home prices in 1979; the metro area condo price series dates back to 1989.
Because there is a concentration of condos in high-cost metro areas, the national median condo price often is higher than the median single-family price. In a given market area, condos typically cost less than single-family homes. As the reporting sample expands in the future, additional areas will be included in the condo price report.
2Distressed sales, first-time buyers, investors and all-cash transactions are from a survey for the Realtors® Confidence Index.
3The seasonally adjusted annual rate for a particular quarter represents what the total number of actual sales for a year would be if the relative sales pace for that quarter was maintained for four consecutive quarters. Total home sales include single family, townhomes, condominiums and co-operative housing.
Seasonally adjusted rates are used in reporting quarterly data to factor out seasonal variations in resale activity. For example, sales volume normally is higher in the summer and relatively light in winter, primarily because of differences in the weather and household buying patterns.
4Income figures are rounded to the nearest hundred.
Second quarter metro area home prices and quarterly existing-home sales will be released August 9 at 10:00 a.m. EDT.
Information about NAR is available at www.nar.realtor. News releases are posted in the website's "News and Commentary" tab. Statistical data in this release, as well as other tables and surveys, are posted in the "Research and Statistics" tab of www.nar.realtor.

The Walrus Says
Standing on the hot tarmac with little if any breeze blowing across the parking lot, members of Jamestown Boy Scout Troop 1 were set up for their annual yard sale to raise funds for their upcoming week-long stay at Camp Yawgoog. Temperatures in the 90s were predicted.
The activity in front of the Jamestown Early Learning Center was attracting some attention from the passing traffic on North Road, but the troop was faced with some tough competition elsewhere on the island. Save The Bay was swimming across the East Passage, the Craft Show was underway at the Community Center, the Striper Club was emptying the Reservoir of fish, and dozens of other garage and yard sales were attracting people from throughout the island.
When we went to the Scouts' sale Saturday morning at about a quarter to 10, the first person we saw was Assistant Senior Patrol
Leader Drew Matley, who was sitting under a bush and out of the sun. When we asked him about the things on the ground in front of him, he explained it wasn't his stuff and he was just there in the shade trying to get cool. The real owner, Star Scout John Chase, came on the scene and said he had sold a bread maker and still had a bike among other items on the block. Just about then a telescope made its way on to the blanket. It had seen a few years but looked like it had once been a good scope.
Moving down the row, we stopped to talk to Tenderfoot Josh Nolan and his mom, Jody. "We're cleaning out the basement," she noted, saying she and Josh had reached an amiable agreement on the proceeds.
Further on down, Tenderfoot Vaughan Nelson-Lee was selling "basically old toys and clothing." He said up until then he had made 25 cents.
Taking advantage of the weather forecast, Second Class Scout Nick Fay brought some additional entrepreneurship to the sale by offering cold lemonade for 25 cents and cookies for 50 cents. We thought the sales would pick up there as the sun got a bit higher.
Nick said that he had sold a bird cage, lots of books, a pasta maker, and other kitchen stuff.
His mom, Sue, added that the person who had bought the cage said "it was for a talking parrot named Jake that laid eggs."
Checking the bank, Nick reported he and his mom had brought in $70.
We glanced back at John Chase's area and noticed the telescope was still there. We visualized it on the deck table when evenings got longer again.
Star Scout Kyle Wright had a somewhat unusual table in that it featured Microtabs to lessen toilet odors in RVs and boats, sunglasses, and boas. Not likely items one would find in a scout's bedroom or closet. It was likely they belonged to Kyle's mom, Diane, who reminded her son that although they had taken in only $28 so far, she was covering the whole ticket for her son's camping trip.
In the next area, committee member Linda Gaines had a good morning. Sitting back and relaxing in the shade of a wooden fence, she said she had moved her big-ticket items - three glasstopped coffee tables, a Buzz Light Year sleeping bag, a Lionel train set, and numerous videos. She seemed a happy person.
Second Class Scout James Perry's mom, Donna, was filling in for her son as he competed in the Striper Club's Fishing Derby at the reservoir. He was scheduled to relieve her at 11. "He had to get dinner," Donna quipped.
While he was gone, she sold two bikes, a train set, and puzzles. A huge doll house drew people's attention to the table. James had taken it on for his sister on a commission basis, of course.
First Class Scout Dylan Walsh had to work at McQuade's that morning so his mom, Brenda, under an attractive hand-held sun umbrella, presented an elaborate table with a combination of interesting household and personal items. They included stained glass, books, handbags, games, and clothing patterns.
We glanced across the parking lot. The telescope was still there.
While we were talking to Brenda, Jeff and Kathy Williams walked up with their grandson, Ethan.
Kathy looked the table over while we talked with Ethan, who is about to turn 1. She picked up a small strawberry colored item that turned out to be a toothpick holder. Ethan expressed little interest. He's working on the teeth. One thing at a time.
Great job, Troop 1, have a super week at Yawgoog.
Oh! We haven't had a chance to check it out yet, but the telescope looks great on our deck.
*** The monarchs are on the move.
Last week, Dr. Joshua Hatch of
the Jamestown Animal Clinic prepared us for possibly learning how to trim our own pet's nails. Personally, it makes us squeamish, but let's see.
"If your pet is comfortable with you touching its feet and if you've watched a demonstration of nail trimming, you are now ready to try trimming a toenail or two. First, get a good pair of nail trimmers. Then, pick a time when your pet is relaxed and you have a family member or friend around to help if needed.
"If your pet has clear nails, then you can see the quick and avoid cutting that far up. If your pet has black nails, you will have to slowly shave away small amounts till you near the quick. If your pet has both types of nails use the clear nails as a guide as to where to trim. If you do nick the vascular part, it will bleed a little and you should have some styptic powder on hand to stop the bleeding. In a pinch, you can use flour, corn starch, or even rub the nail on a dry bar of soap to help stop any bleeding." Thanks, Doctor! WOOF! We're still squeamish.
A big welcoming WOOF! for
Hunter, a fifteen-month-old female bassett, who has taken up residence with John Preece and Katy Koken on Pemberton Avenue.
Hunter is a rescued dog and found her way to the island via Jamestown Animal Officer Cathy Gregory and Barbara Szepatowski's Paws & Claws.
Sonya Bieler writes that she's
heard from Producer Jason Bolicki of Towers Productions, the company that last fall shot the documentary about the Great Hurricane of 1938 and its effects on Jamestown and surrounding areas.
"The History Channel hasn't committed to a firm date yet, but has given Towers Productions a tentative airdate of Sunday, Aug. 27. The official title of the documentary is 'Nature's Fury: New England's Killer Hurricane.'"
Jamestowners who participated in the three-day shoot, two of which were in Newport, are Patty Vandal; Madi, Carol and John Baldwin; Eric Bieler; Johnna Jamieson; Dana, Talley, Durga and Michael Larkin; Kathy and Clarke Westall; Sydney and Kathy Pazera; Jon Knudsen; Jenna Regan; Hannah Cordes; Michael and Steve Liebhauser; Bonnie Jamison; Kathleen and Madi Brown; Dan and Mike Harpool; Garrett Reis; Rebecca Brazil; Kathy Jamieson; Tot Wright; Bill Murphy; and Jim Munro.
All soon to be seen in your homes.
Sonya suggests we check our TV Guides and www.historychannel. com in the coming weeks as more information is released. READY! . . . ACTION!
Help is needed in finding a
home for a 1-year-old spayed female cat. She is in a home now, but they can't keep her.

Do you have sweaty palms? Do they embarrass you? Do they sweat so much that they keep you from doing things you would like to do - from shaking hands, playing an instrument or a sport or doing the kind of work you would like to do? Do you carry a towel or tissue to keep your hands dry enough to get through the day? Have you had sweaty hands since your childhood or teen years?
If so, you probably have hyperhidrosis, a problem in which the sympathetic nervous system does not "shut off" the sweat reflex properly. The body naturally perspires to regulate body heat. In hyperhidrosis, your hands sweat profusely with no useful purpose, regardless of how hot or cold it is. Your feet probably sweat, and you may also have excessive armpit and facial sweating, as well as facial blushing.
The good news is that there is a cure. It is fast, safe and effective. At Cedars-Sinai, video-assisted thoracic sympathectomy is providing permanent relief from this chronic and debilitating condition. Now you can throw out the antiperspirants, the medication and the electrophoresis machine, realize it is not in your head, and get real help.

Alternative school board? A meeting of dubious legality
October 01. 2013 8:42PM
An amazing thing happened at Manchester City Hall on Monday night. The school district convened — without notice — a closed meeting of an "alternative school board" to discuss a personnel matter, refused to name all the members of this allegedly public body, and then claimed through the real school board's attorney that the meeting didn't really take place after all. There is so much wrong with this event that we haven't the space to address all of it.
State law forbids public bodies from meeting in secret without a properly approved motion to do so. There was no school board motion to go into closed session on Monday night, which presumably makes this meeting illegal.
And the "school board" that met in closed session to consider a school personnel matter was not the school board. It was a group of others assembled for the purpose of acting in place of the duly elected school board. Our reporter identified four members of this alternative board: Aldermen Tom Katsiantonis, Pat Long, Jim Roy and Barbara Shaw. The other three to five members could not be identified, and the school district would not name them.
The school board governs the school district. How is it legal for the district to select a new school board to handle a personnel matter? These and many other questions remain unanswered. The school district needs to answer them immediately.

Manchester man pleads innocent to fraud, other charges
November 26. 2012 10:34PM
MANCHESTER - Tyler Murray, 18, of 456 Cartier St., pleaded innocent Monday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division to charges of fraudulent use of a credit card on Nov. 3, plus violation of a domestic protective order, contempt and resisting arrest charges from Nov. 23 and 24.
Murray is accused of using a credit card belonging to another to purchase $258.58 worth of items from the RiteAid in McGregor Square Nov. 3. He's accused of running from an officer trying to arrest him on a warrant Nov. 23; of being with his mother, who took out the protective order, on Nov. 24; and of resisting arrest twice on Nov. 24, running from an officer again and leading to his being hit with a Taser. He was also charged with contempt for allegedly committing a new crime while out on bail.
Murray told Judge William Lyons that his mother is not going to court for the final hearing on the protective order, that it was all a misunderstanding, and said: "It's the only person who's left that cares about me."
Murray was out on bail on a receiving stolen property charge for which he was arraigned Nov. 8. Police prosecutor Carissa Pelletier said another charge has been bound over to a Hillsborough County North grand jury. Murray is also under the umbrella of a 12-month suspended sentence on a July conviction.
Murray said he's a full-time student.
"Please, I'm asking for (personal recognizance) bail. ... I want to be home for the holidays."
Lyons would only reduce bail from the prosecutor's requested $10,000 cash/surety to $6,000 cash/surety, with trial set for Jan. 23.
Counseling in mix
A New Boston man, who failed to appear multiple times on charges of attempted burglary and willful concealment, was arraigned Monday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division on a felony possession of a narcotic (heroin) charge that resulted from his arrest Saturday on warrants.
Benjamin Macieski, 22, of 29 Foxberry Drive, could enter no plea to the new felony charge, so a probable cause hearing was set for Dec. 11.
Police prosecutor Lt. Ron Mello said Macieski has convictions in June and July for inhaling intoxicating vapors and twice failed to appear in Circuit Court on a charge of inhaling vapors.
"Clearly there's a substance abuse issue here," said Mello.
Murray said he's signed up for alcohol and drug counseling this week and is supposed to start a new job. As for the heroin charge, Murray said "it was an empty bag in a pair of jeans I had on."
New bail was set at $7,500 cash/surety. Trial on the misdemeanors was set for Feb. 5, 2013.
Don't know woman
Thomas Blood, 42, was arraigned Monday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division on a robbery charge that alleges he robbed a woman at knifepoint on Webster Street on Sept. 5, 2011.
Blood, who is listed as being from Temple and homeless, could enter no plea to the felony charge in Circuit Court, so a probable cause hearing was set for Dec. 11.
Bail was set at $3,000 cash/surety with conditions that bar contact with the alleged victim, who Blood said he didn't know.
Armed robbery charge
Marcus Hall, 27, who said he is homeless, could enter no plea Monday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division to a felony charge of armed robbery that alleges he went up to a man stopped in traffic at Hanover and Elm streets at 1 a.m. Sunday and held a knife to the man's neck, robbing him of $300 cash and an iPhone.
A probable cause hearing was set for Dec. 11 and bail was set at $10,000 cash/surety.
Police said the robbery victim told them he was stopped at a red light, when a man approached, knocked on the driver's window and asked for a ride. When he refused, the driver said, the man produced a knife and held it to his throat, threatening to kill him if he moved.
At the same time, the victim said, another man opened the passenger side door and pointed a handgun at him and the victim was robbed of the phone and cash from his wallet.
Police said the driver drove to Mechanic and Elm streets where he had someone call police. Officer Tom Ouellette found Hall, who matched the description, in the area. Officer John Levasseur found a jacket matching the description of the one worn by a robber with a knife and mask inside the pockets, and Hall was arrested. The other robber, described as a heavyset black male, armed with a handgun and wearing a dark-colored mask, remains at large.
A police officer?
Joseph Quinn, 25, of 252 Laurel St., could enter no plea to a felony charge of theft by deception Monday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division.
Quinn is accused of calling a woman while posing as a Manchester police officer and asking her for money to resolve a court case. He is accused of calling the woman at least 10 times and of getting $2,500 from her.
A police prosecutor said Quinn is out on bail on Salem charges and asked for $5,000 cash/surety bail, which Judge William Lyons approved. Bail conditions bar contact with the woman and bar him from her residence.

What could you do if you were spidering two billion web pages per day? Whatever your answer is to that hypothetical, you might as well do it now. The 80legs platform lets you write your own web crawler and sell your apps to users (our 80legs API profile). And if you can build it fast, there's an 80legs contest looking for your entry.
The company wants to fill out its 80apps store, which is launching later this fall. As an incentive they're offering some pretty geeky prizes: Herman Miller chair, gadgets and an Atari 2600, for example. To qualify you'll need to submit your app by December 11th.
Of course, there's not a whole lot of code to write, since the crawling is done for you. Using Java, you'll need to implement processDocument() and parseLinks() functions. Then you'll need to export a JAR file and upload it to 80legs. More technical details can be found on the 80Apps Wiki.
As you can see from the table above, the platform is not free. However, it's never been cheaper or easier to crawl the web. Any apps you create, whether or not they win the contest, will be available for sale on the 80apps store. You keep 100% of the revenue and just pay 80legs for the page crawling and CPU-hours.
Unlike most APIs, which provide data, 80legs is providing a service, one that usually takes much more cost and effort to set up. Also, it is enabling developers a means to make money directly, something missing from many paid APIs. Expect tools like 80legs to gain in numbers, as developers start expecting platforms that give them a boost.

Hamar, North Dakota
Hamar, North Dakota is in Eddy County, not far from Tolna, about a half hour southeast of Devils Lake. We met a local resident named Troy Gleason who gave us quite a bit of information on Hamar — the population is six, including a family of three, two widows, and Troy.
This former school still hosts meetings on occasion.
Hamar didn't seem particularly remote compared to some of the places we've visited, so I was somewhat surprised to discover cell service was hit and miss.
The building shown here is the former post office for Hamar. Carla Christofferson, Miss North Dakota 1989, and now renowned Los Angeles attorney and co-owner of the WNBA's Los Angeles Sparks, was raised on a farm near here, and Mr. Gleason told us Ms. Christofferson's mother once ran the post office in Hamar out of this building. At one time, there was a trailer attached.
Hamar, North Dakota was featured in our third book.

Posted by Dave Cooney: email
ATLANTA (AP) - Matt Ryan overcame a career-worst five interceptions, guiding Atlanta to its only offensive touchdown in the fourth quarter, and the Falcons rallied for a sloppy 23-19 victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.
The Falcons (9-1) turned it over a total of six times, but Michael Turner scored on a 1-yard run with 6:40 remaining to give Atlanta its first lead of the game. Ryan set up the score with four completions for 64 yards, including a 9-yarder to Tony Gonzalez on third-and-5 at the Arizona 10.
Coming off a bye, Arizona (4-6) lost its sixth straight game. The Cardinals tried to bolster their anemic offense by switching quarterbacks, replacing John Skelton with rookie Ryan Lindley, but Larry Fitzgerald couldn't hang on to a fourth-down pass after Ryan's fifth pick.

A new draft effort surfaced last week to get the GOP's 2010 nominee to seek a 2014 rematch with Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton.
Some Republicans are pining for a repeat campaign for Minnesota governor by former state Rep. Tom Emmer.
A new draft effort surfaced last week to get the GOP's 2010 nominee to seek a 2014 rematch with Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton. Emmer lost a narrow election to Dayton two years ago.
In an email, Emmer said he didn't find out about the move to get him to take another shot before it got going.
"As I've said many times before, I will never close and lock the door to a future calling," Emmer said in an email "However, I am not currently planning to run for any office in 2014."
Emmer currently hosts a daily radio show, which he said he relishes.
The draft campaign was registered with campaign regulators. It is led by a former House colleague, Doug Wardlow of Eagan. Tom Coulter, a close supporter of Emmer from the 2010 campaign, is also listed on papers connected to the draft effort.
Emmer finished about 9,000 votes behind Dayton and conceded the race just before a state recount had concluded. Before running for governor, Emmer served three House terms.
Several Republicans are sizing up a bid for governor, but they haven't taken any formal steps. There is also a draft campaign urging on Senate Minority Leader David Hann.
