When police stopped a trucker suspected of toll evasion in New Jersey they got a big surprise. His passenger who had hitched a ride and had been traveling with the trucker for almost a week was a person of interest in a Tennessee murder case.
Murder suspect Charles Randy Kelley, 52, of White Pine, TN, was in a truck driven by Manuel Velasco when Port Authority police stopped the truck when Velasco tried to bypass the toll booth at the George Washington Bridge leading into New York City, according to the Knoxville News Sentinel. Kelly is charged with the May 21 murder of Johnny Arwood, 47, also of White Pine and is also wanted on forgery and theft charges.
The fugitive had been riding with the trucker since he asked for a ride at a gas station off Interstate 81 in Tennessee on Sunday Sept. 16. Port Authority police pulled the pair over on Friday Sept 21. Velasco said he had taken Kelly on deliveries and even to his home in Valley Stream, NY, for dinner.

If 0xc2 is the actual bug check you are getting then below is the explanation for it.
0x000000C2: BAD_POOL_CALLER
A kernel-mode process or driver incorrectly attempted to perform memory operations. Typically, a faulty driver or buggy software causes this.
Since you state it was a update that started this I am inclined to believe it is one of those updates that is causing the issue.
If you have Windows XP CD...
1. Boot from the CD.
2. When the text-based part of Setup begins, follow the prompts. Select the repair or recover option by pressing R:
3. You'll find yourself at this screen:
4. Once you are at the Recovery Console you will be given at least one choice of Windows installations. Normally the choice you want is the number 1 choice. Click the number 1 key at the "top" of the keyboard and click enter.
NOTE: at this point your numbers to the right of your keyboard are turned off. If you insist on using these keys for your numbers remember to hit the Numbers Lock key before clicking a number over there or your computer will automatically reboot and you will have to wait through the previous steps to get back to the console.
5. You will be given a message asking for the administrator password. Unless someone or something has messed with your computer there is no password so you just click the Enter key.
6. This will bring you to a prompt that says:
7. Type:
cd \
Press Enter
Note: between "cd" and "" there should be a "blank space" otherwise the command won't work
8. The prompt should now say:
9. Type:
cd system~1\_resto~1
Press Enter.
Note: If it gives an error "Access Denied" while accessing the folder, follow the method below
Type: cd \
Press Enter
Type: cd windows\system32\config
Press Enter
Type: ren system system.bak
Press Enter
(note the spaces between ren and system, and then between system and system.bak)
Type: exit
Press Enter
now the computer should restart, then follow steps 1-6
10. Type:
Press Enter
NOTE: When you hit enter it will list all the restore points folders like "rp1", "rp2" we have to see the last restore point to copy the file from a recent backup. If the restore points have more than one page then you have keep on hitting the key to view the last restore point folder.
NOTE: It is a good rule of thumb to choose the files from the restore point folder which the second to the last one.
11. Type:
cd rp{with the second to the last restore point number }
Press Enter
Example: cd rp9. if rp10 is the last restore point
12. Type:
cd snapshot
Press Enter.
NOTICE: Now the command prompt will look like this:
Note : restore point 9 assumed for clarity of the content.
13. Type:
copy _registry_machine_system c:\windows\system32\config\system
Press Enter
14. Type:
Press Enter.
Final note : If the above procedure won't solve the problem, repeat all steps, but in step 13 type:
copy _registry_machine_software c:\windows\system32\config\software
Alternatively, select different restore point.
If you don't have Windows CD...
Download Windows Recovery Console: http://www.thecomput...om/files/rc.iso
Download, and install free Imgburn: http://www.imgburn.c...hp?act=download
Using Imgburn, burn rc.iso to a CD.
Boot to the CD...let it finish loading.

Barcelona 4-0 Milan: Messi and Co. at Their Brilliant Best in Unforgettable GameMarch 12, 2013
They said the Barcelona era was over. They said the Blaugrana were on the decline. They said Messi couldn't score against Italian teams in open play, that teams had figured out how to stop the Barca machine, that they had found the solution to Barcelona's attacking equation.
They were all wrong.
Barcelona put on a stunning show at the Camp Nou Tuesday night, mesmerizing the Milan defense with quick passes and darting runs, reminding us all what has made them the most feared team on the planet over the past five seasons. In the end, they fired four passed the Milan rearguard and kept a clean sheet at the other end, becoming the first team in Champions League history to overcome a 2-0 first leg deficit.
And they were well worth their wide margin of victory. Jordi Roura shuffled his front line somewhat as David Villa (finally?) took his place at the point of the Barca attack, with Pedro moving out to the left side and Messi sliding back into an attacking midfield role and occasionally drifting into his old right wing position.
The change of tactics certainly had an effect, but the biggest departure from the past several weeks was in Barcelona's general approach, both with possession and in defense. The passing was incisive, forward-looking, and above all, quick, with players all over the pitch making first touch passes in the final third, rather than settling the ball and slowing down the attack. And when they lost the ball, the pressure on the Milan players was fast and furious. With nowhere to go and no one to pass to, Milan were giving the ball away with alarming consistency.
Barcelona's sharpness was on display inside the first five minutes when Pedro played Iniesta's pass back to Busquets with a single touch. With Ambrosini still on his way to pressure to Pedro, Busquets collected the pass from the diminutive winger with plenty of time to pick out a truly clever ball between Montolivo and Shaarawy to the feet of Lionel Messi. Rather than attempt to turn as he might have done in recent weeks, Messi already knew where the ball was headed, as Xavi had maneuvered in between Montolivo and Milan's last line of defense. A quick one-two with Xavi, and Messi was poised for his stunning finish into the top corner.
Do you love Barcelona yet?
It was the start Barcelona—and Messi—needed to ignite the crowd and propel them forward to victory.
Iniesta and Xavi each forced fantastic saves from Christian Abbiati, while Pedro had a serious penalty shot waved away after being bungled over by Abate.
Meanwhile, Barca were playing a dangerous game at the other end as they continued to push forward for goals. They were always going to need a bit of luck to keep Milan out for the whole of 90 minutes, and the football gods were there to bestow it on 38 minutes. Mascherano's colossal misjudgment of a simple header let Niang clear through on goal, but with only Valdes to beat, the Frenchman slotted his effort off the woodwork.
Sighs of relief echoed around the Camp Nou as Barcelona resumed their task at Milan's end of the pitch.
Their pressure paid off soon thereafter as Iniesta robbed Ambrosini of possession 35 yards from goal, squeezing between him and Flamini to advance forward into space. With pressure late in arriving, Iniesta delivered another incisive pass, squeezing the ball just past the feet of Montolivo into the path of Messi, who this time did the rest of the work himself.
It was more of the same in the second half when Mascherano—pressuring extremely high up the pitch for a center half—picked off Zapata's pass, pinging the ball into Iniesta near the top of the penalty arc.
Again, two lightning-quick first-time passes, from Iniesta to Xavi, and Xavi to David Villa, and Barca were in.
On this occasion, Constant must take some blame, as he impulsively dived toward Xavi's pass in a vain attempt to pick it off, leaving Villa with an easy path to goal.
But the Spanish marksman proved his worth and validated his choice in the team with a sublime finish to tip the tie in Barcelona's favor.
For about 10 minutes thereafter, Barcelona maintained complete control over the match, penning Milan into their own half and threatening a fourth goal to put the tie away.
But Milan—urged on by the introductions of Sulley Muntari, Robinho, and Bojan Krkic—started to apply pressure of their own.
Their newly attacking posture very nearly paid off when Bojan left Pique for dead on the left side of the attack and swung in a low cross for Robinho, but Jordi Alba was there with a game-saving challenge to deny the Brazilian.
And Alba showed that—despite the doubters—he can be effective at both ends of the pitch, traversing its entire length to get on the end of Alexis Sanchez' curled pass in the 92nd minute to seal the tie.
Alba started his extraordinary run as literally the farthest field player back, less than 25 yards from his own goal line. He literally sprinted past the entire Milan team as they watched and waited for their defenders to regain possession.
As for the idea that Alba and Alves should play more conservatively, I have a better one: Barca, never change.
In the end, Milan may not have been at their shining best on the night, but it was a remarkable performance from Barcelona, as they took control of the match from the first minute and maintained a frightening energy through the hour mark. There's simply no defending goals like the first one; it was just too good. They achieved not only an unlikely comeback, but a redemption—of their style and their approach to the game.
And it was a redeeming night for Messi as well, as he continues to silence any doubts and doubters that remain. He again stepped into the fray and provided the critical goals at the crucial times—and what goals they were.
The quarterfinals are shaping up to be a mouthwatering affair, with several teams left in the competition who could trouble Barcelona. But if their season has hit its low point, who among the teams in Europe could stem the tide of their rise now?

Ryan Nassib
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Tuesday's NFL Live that NFL team's opinions of Syracuse QB Ryan Nassib are "all across the board." Schefter adds that one team has actually Nassib graded as an undrafted free agent.
Meanwhile, Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reports that Nassib is "definitely in play" for the Bills at No. 8 overall.
Even as the draft draws closer, it appears as though no one knows what's going to happen with the quarterback prospects this year, which should make for an extremely compelling first-round Thursday night.
ESPN's Chris Mortensen mentioned during Tuesday's NFL 32 that North Carolina G Jonathan Cooper could be an option for the Cardinals at No. 7 overall if they miss out on one of the top three offensive tackles.
Jason La Canfora continues to hear that LSU DE/OLB Barkevious Mingo connected to the Eagles "more and more."
Albert Breer reports that the Eagles have narrowed their decision regarding the No. 4 overall pick down to four players. Breer adds that Philadelphia is likely to target a lineman in the first-round and lists Utah DT Star Lotulelei or Oregon DE/OLB Dion Jordan as potential options.
It still seems likely that they'll consider trading back, but reports have indicated that they don't want to move down too far.
Rich Cimini of ESPN New York reports that "multiple league sources" have informed him that the Jets are likely to take a guard and a pass-rusher with their two first-round picks.
Cimini lists UNC G Jonathan Cooper, Alabama G Chance Warmack and LSU DE Barkevious Mingo as potential options for them at No. 9 and No. 13 respectively. Cimini adds that Alabama CB Dee Milliner could be another option depending on what happens at the top of the draft.
NFL Draft Notes:
- Chiefs GM John Dorsey called Florida DT Sharrif Floyd to "check on him" Monday. (Ian Rapoport)
- Former LSU CB Tyrann Mathieu missed two team visits after getting sick last week. (Jay Glazer)
- Eagles reportedly "reached out" to West Virginia WR Tavon Austin on Monday. (Ian Rapoport)
- Tulane QB Ryan Griffin has conducted more pre-draft workouts than any other quarterback prospect in this year's draft class. (Chris Mortensen)
- There's "no way" Tavon Austin gets past the Rams at No. 16 overall. (CBSSports.com)
- The Lions are expected to consider a guard if they're unable to trade back or if OTs Luke Joeckel and Eric Fisher are unavailable to them at No. 5 overall. (CBSSports.com)
- Titans head coach Mike Munchak reportedly "very high" on UNC G Jonathan Cooper. (CBSSports.com)
- The Cardinals are "extremely high" on Alabama RT D.J. Fluker. (CBSSports.com)
- "Insiders" believe UNC DT Sylvester Williams would be the pick for the Cowboys in the first-round if Texas S Kenny Vaccaro isn't available. (Tony Pauline)
- Texas S Kenny Vaccaro could be in play for the Saints at No. 15 overall as well. (Tony Pauline)

Each year about this time, the New York Film Festival gives some broad clues to what's been happening in world cinema for the past 12 months. One bright sign is that American movies are benefiting from a wave of energy and imagination on the independent scene, away from the major studios and power brokers.
The festival offered a striking array of high-quality American independent features, in formats ranging from comedy and thriller to drama and documentary. Nor, for the most part, were they low-budget imitations of traditional studio products. Almost every one was marked by an originality and boldness that surface too rarely in standard Hollywood projects.
Most heartening in the new breed of ''indies'' is their interest in style as a means of expression. Hollywood movies often focus their main energy on performance and storytelling, letting visual style - the ''look'' of the film - tag along in third place. The best of the independents have plot and performance to spare, but give equal attention to the flow of the images themselves, using them to draw the viewer into the film and strengthen the story's emotional punch.
The new drama called ''Paris, Texas'' is a splendid example, directed by Wim Wenders from a Sam Shepard screenplay. The hero is a man found wandering in the desert four years after his family fell apart and separated. Brought back to civilization by his brother, he comes to terms with his seven-year-old son, then determines to reunite the boy with his mother.
With the help of Robby Muller, a superb cinematographer, Wenders has shaped this uncomplicated story into a visual essay on loneliness and the yearning for love. Never rushing the action, he lingers over images of loss and affection, giving their moody rhythms as much weight as the spare dialogue and deeply felt performances. Only near the end does the movie falter, digressing into a long monologue scene that loses the gentle flow already established. Most of the way ''Paris, Texas'' is a powerfully affecting work charged with more visual and dramatic brilliance than any dozen of Hollywood's current concoctions.
More whimsical is ''Stranger Than Paradise,'' reviewed in these pages Oct. 4. Centering on two dull young men and a European woman who wanders into their lives, it's another ''road movie'' with shifting locales and expressive landscapes. Again, the characters are few and their words are doled out sparingly, letting small details of imagery shape our responses to each incident. The director, Jim Jarmusch, heightens this by condensing every scene into a single shot isolated from the others by a moment of blank screen. The result is lean, unpredictable, and immaculately crafted.
A still darker sort of wit is visible in ''Blood Simple,'' a shocker by Joel Coen that combines the sensibility of a 1950s ''horror comic'' with a technical excellence rarely found in low-budget thrillers. The plot involves a murder scheme that gets more and more confused as characters double-cross each other and make stupid mistakes. The screenplay goes for irony most of the time, punctuated with lightning bolts of tension and gore. While not for all tastes, the movie has a rare knack for shoestring suspense, and it should have fans of ''The Texas Chainsaw Massacre'' and ''Night of the Living Dead'' cackling with glee for a long time.
''A Flash of Green'' has a political dimension not evident in the pictures I've mentioned so far, or in most Hollywood movies of recent years. It's a drama about real estate, and its plot hinges less on familiar elements of romance and suspense - although these are present - than on the dynamics of rivalry and greed. The main character is a Florida reporter hired by a corrupt politician to spy on friends who oppose an environmentally unsound development plan. The film, directed by Victor Nunez, is sometimes plotty and artificial like ''Gal Young 'Un,'' his respected earlier movie. But it has a thoughtful group of actors, led by the offbeat Ed Harris, and its sincerity is laudable.
More political yet is ''The Times of Harvey Milk,'' a documentary by director Robert Epstein and producer Richard Schmiechen. Its subject is the man named in the title - the first avowed homosexual to win political office in a major American city, only to be assassinated (along with the mayor) by a fellow San Francisco official. Using a standard documentary format, the movie generates terrific momentum with its deft use of on-the-spot footage and pithy interviews with former associates of Milk. The result is an intelligent and provocative tour through a most revealing byway of the American sociopolitical landscape.

Tomorrow hits the ten day mark and countdown for the Kickstarter project I have been helping to promote. And the beginning of the end of my nails as the goal of the fundraiser is $4000 and we have raised just shy of $2000. Ten Days and $2000! A long way up the mountain…but the view is worth the leg work.
A few years ago I met my Uncle Fred, Kickapoo Elder Fred Wahpehpah age 80, when he opened the door on a misty New Year's day and welcomed Zeta and me in. We were there to participate in a sweat lodge ceremony. The first of this kind for me. Fred is not my uncle by blood, but instantly adopted me into his family and community just like he has with so many others. Many who have had the pleasure of having Fred in their lives refer to him as 'uncle', 'grandfather', and 'dad'.
Through the past year and a half, I have attended and documented a handful of ceremonies; Sweat lodge, Sacred Pipe, La Wampe (sp?), Tipi and a Vision Quest with Uncle Fred as well as school presentations. I have met a large handful of individuals who have attributed their lives to having met Fred and were then introduced to the ways of the 'Red Road'.
The purpose of documenting these events is to share the images with Seven Circles to utilize in their newsletter and for other promotional / educational material. This is my photo-philanthropy, "photolanthropy".
Early this year, I met Uncle Fred's 18 yr-old daughter, Kashaokiwaki Ikwe Wahpepah (Kasha) and it get's better.
Kasha…is incredible. And incredibly bright. And crazy ambitious as she decided to take her dad, Uncle Fred, to his birthhome in Oklahoma on a month-long journey "into Indian Country". It will count for her senior internship…a final project to graduate with the class of 2011 (woot! woot! '99!)
How LUCKY is she? But it's not luck. It is seeing there is an opportunity, an open door and knowing that you are going to walk through it. (I love Bill Cosby AND confusing analogies). Plus, I don't know too many seniors in high school (including myself at the time) that wanted to do ANYTHING with family…let alone be in the car with their dad for more than the five minute ride to school. (Dad, I'm totally exaggerating. I loved listening to talk radio with you at 6 in the a.m. on the way to school
Regardless…this is a trip I deem "important to happen". And I am hoping that at least 100+ people think their $20 can help. It can!!!
So do a little dig in your pockets and donate whatever pocket change you have. OR dig a little deeper and pre-order Kasha's book from the road. Every penny counts. And remember, if the minimum goal is not raised, your account is not charged.

This is a transcript of top stories presented by China's CCTV Business Channel as produced by CNBC Asia Pacific.
(Package starts)
Puppy love in Shanghai is being reined in. Come May 15 - restrictions like one pooch per family and bans on attack dogs come into effect.
The good news? Registration fees will also come down from 2000 Yuan per year — to encourage dog registrations. High fees are one reason there may be 600,000 unlicensed pooches in Shanghai.
Ms Zhang, Retiree:
2000 yuan in Jing'An district is too high, although here the property prices are high, most people's incomes are low.
The new rules try to balance animal welfare with the constraints of a densely populated metropolis.
Pei Zhen, Shanghai NPC delegate:
When we drafted the new regulations, we wanted to emphasise the owner's responsibilities.
Owners can be fined for their pets' excessive barking and attacks on people. For the first time, dog abuse will be a punishable offence — another compassionate element is that unlicensed dogs no longer face the threat of being caught and put down.
Jane Su, Volunteer, SSAPA:
They'll first give the owner a warning, a ticket, then they have to pay fines, after 2 to 3 times, they take the dog away, that's a really good change.
Three months away from the one-dog policy — some dog lovers have already thought up ways around the rules.
Xu Hanya, Dog owner:
I will register one dog with my family and the other one with my mother-in-law.
Car restrictions, property restrictions, now dog restrictions are set to become another price of living in china's most crowded city.

The grave of a 12-year-old boy who was hit by a train in 100 years ago has been dug up in a Pennsylvania cemetery.
What police in Butler, about 30 miles north of Pittsburgh, can't figure out is who did it or why. They also don't know if there were any remains still in the grave a century later.
George Olenic, the superintendent of North Side Cemetery, called 911 on Monday night when he found the hole. It was two feet by five feet and four feet deep.
Butler police say they asked forensic anthropologists to determine what might have remained in the grave.
The boy, Walter Roberts, was killed by a train as he was returning from picking blackberries in the woods on Aug. 3, 1911.

If you've never been to Arkansas, there's good reason. I'm going to leave the low hanging jokes out of this and say, it's just hard to get there. I had to fly into Memphis and drive 2.5 hrs. I use food to feel better about my challenging trips and this time around I made my way to Corky's in Memphis before making the drive.
Bad idea bro. Total food coma. Energy drinks, bad idea at 830p. Sunflower seeds for days and all over the rental. Weird, they blow back in when you spit shells out of the window. I got some looks when I dropped this thing off.
Crossfit Little Rock
Feeling just a little food guilt and having some time post meeting, I dropped in at Crossfit Little Rock.
After competing in a 2 day competition over the weekend, I was pleasantly surprised to find this workout:
On a sleepy, overcast day in LR, I was joined by only one other member for this class. I was coached by Chad and i have to say: I love dropping in to new places because I generally get great coaching and pick up new tips. Chad's coaching was no different. I picked up some good pointers on improving my hand stands as well as my rowing form.
All in all, a good experience. Look them up if you're in town!

His role at Freese and Nichols builds on his extensive technical expertise and background working with municipalities and agencies on a wide range of water resource projects from water source protection, planning, development, treatment and delivery, to wastewater collection, treatment and reuse. In addition to his consulting engineering experience, Mike has a wealth of knowledge of pipeline assessment and rehabilitation, metering stations and technologies, water interconnections and water system control valves.
Throughout his career, Mike has assessed and rehabilitated more than 70 miles of pipelines ranging in size from eight inches to 11 feet, and more than 50 flow metering systems, stations and system control appurtenances ranging in diameter from 24 to 48 inches. He also has experience with Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system integration, including creating system functional descriptions for existing and new water transmission and distribution systems.

In 1941, Ed Ricketts, a marine biologist from Pacific Grove, and his friend John Steinbeck traveled by boat to the tip of Baja. In the book "The Log from the Sea of Cortez", Steinbeck, makes some remarkable observations about the colonial existence of Botryllus schlosseri.
'there were colonies of pelagic tunicates which have taken a shape like the finger of a glove. Each member of the colony is an individual animal, but the colony is another individual animal, not at all like the sum of its individuals. Here are two animals, and yet the same thing. Which is the animal, the colony or the individual? …. Why it's two animals and they aren't alike any more than the cells of my body are like me.' John Steinbek

Melanoma can be identified by observing the mole on the skin, which is normally unusual and non-uniform. The mole tends to have an odd shape, uneven border and different colors, states the American Academy of Dermatology. In the early stages, it may not cause any symptoms, but sometimes the mole may itch, bleed or feel painful.
Many melanomas have signs and symptoms that can be observed, but not all. There are different types of melanoma and each type can appear differently. One type can appear as a black or brown streak beneath a nail. Melanoma also can appear like a bruise that is hard to clear up, states the American Academy of Dermatology.
Melanoma develops in the melanin-producing cells called melanocytes. Most cells still produce melaninin even after being affected, so the moles are usually black or brown. In cases where the cells do not produce melanini, the moles can be tan, pink or even white. Common areas where melanoma develops include on the trunk, legs, neck and face.
Melanoma is the most serious type of skin cancer, but it can be treated successfully if it's noticed early enough, states Mayo Clinic. It can also occur in the eyes. Doctors are not sure about its cause, but tanning lamps and beds or ultraviolet radiation exposure increases the risk of getting this condition.

The Eleanor Roosevelt Papers Project is a university-chartered research center associated with the Department of History of The George Washington University
Eleanor Roosevelt to Mary D. Lasker
August 15, 1960
Dear Mary:
I had a talk with Senator Kennedy yesterday - an hour alone during lunch, and at the very end he called in Mr. Walton for a few minutes before going over to address the Golden Ring Clubs.
I want to report that at the airport he was met by a very large group and the enthusiasm was great. I did not go myself to meet him but sent Edna and David. Edna circulated among the people and asked them if they were Democrats or just curiosity seekers. Almost invariably they answered they were Democrats. The enthusiasm at the big house was tremendous, and I think he made a very good speech on the expansion of Social Security.
I did not ask the Senator for any definite promise as I felt that this would be almost impossible. But I told him that he needed the Stenvenson votes in New York and California and that he had to carry these two states or he would be in trouble because he probably could not hold the solid South. This was brought about by his telling me that he had not realized before the fragmentation of the Democratic party and the fact that the majority in Congress did not give the leadership that holds the party together, and that since my husband's time there was no unity. The newly elected governor of Florida came in to see him and said: "I want you to know that I am a conservative, I am against integration, and I am for the Right-to-Work Law". Whereupon Sen. Kennedy said: "Why don't you join the Republicans?"!
I gather that his understanding of the difficulties of the campaign that face him have matured him in a short time. He told me that he had phoned Adlai this past week and asked him to set up a small group to do research in the area of foreign policy. I told him that this was not enough, that he would have to give the people who were for Adlai the assurance that they were working together. All of us know that unless Adlai felt their philosophies were similar he would not accept the Secretary of State post. Therefore, I felt that he had to prove by working in the campaign and appearing on the same platforms, and perhaps by references and quotation, that there was close cooperation. Bringing both Chester Bowles and Adlai in whenever he could would mean that these were the men he was counting on for advice. He agreed and said he would try to do this.
We then spoke about Chester Bowles and he said he had asked Chester not to resign. I had had a letter Saturday from Chester in which he gave me his reasons for resigning. He said he thought Adlai was the best man for the Secretary of State post, that he (Chet) would rather be in the executive than the legislative branch, so he would rather work for Kennedy than be a candidate for Congress.
Kennedy likes Chester Bowles and finds him easy to work with. He also seems to realize that his own mind is so quick he may perhaps be hasty in making decisions and he needs Adlai there.
Now, I have no promises from him, but I have the distinct feeling that he is planning to work closely with Adlai. I also had the feeling that here was a man who could learn. I liked him better than I ever had before because he seemed so little cock-sure, and I think he has a mind that is open to new ideas.
I agreed that I would go on the citizens committee here as honorary chairman, and that I would do what I could here. Whether I would take any trips or become more involved will depend on whether or not I am happy with the way he progresses as a person in the campaign.
My final judgement is that here is a man who wants to leave a record (perhaps for ambitious personal reasons, as people say) but I rather think because he really is interested in helping the people of his own country and mankind in general. I will be surer of this as time goes on, but I think I am not mistaken in feeling that he would make a good President if elected.
Much love, and I hope this report will help you make up your mind.

H&R Block said Friday it agreed to sell its Option One Mortgage unit to an affiliate of private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management, ending a months-long search for a buyer of the beleaguered subprime lender.
Cerberus, which created a company called OOMC Acquisition to execute the purchase, agreed to pay $300 million less than the value of Option One's tangible net assets, which was $1.27 billion at the end of January. The value will be calculated on the date of closing, which is expected to be Oct. 31.
Late Thursday, H&R Block, whose primary business is tax preparation services, said it expects a full-year loss because of charges reflecting the diminished value of Option One, which lends to people with poor credit. On Friday, H&R Block put those charges at $290 million to $320 million.
Subprime lenders have seen earnings dry up in recent months amid a surge in borrower defaults caused by falling home prices and higher interest rates. More than two dozen have gone bankrupt. H&R Block has been trying to get out of the business since last November and has trimmed operations at Option One, which is based in Irvine, Calif., by closing branches and cutting staff.
The deal does not include Option One's H&R Block Mortgage unit, which originates loans with retail customers. H&R Block plans to close that unit before the sale and take a pretax charge of $25 million to cover severance and closing costs.
H&R Block was advised by Goldman Sachs on the deal.
Separately, H&R Block reiterated Thursday it expects to report a net loss for fiscal 2007, hurt by a surge in defaults on subprime mortgages that resulted in a lower value for Option One.
The company expects to record a pretax, noncash impairment charge of $152.5 million on its investment in Option One.
On an adjusted basis, which excludes the charge, H&R Block expects earnings of $1.15 to $1.25 a share in the current fiscal year, which ends April 30.
Analysts polled by Thomson Financial are looking for profit of $1.17 a share.

Love them or hate them, you have to admit that this summer it seems to be all about the full length hippie dress. Dubbed the "Maxi" dress (although I hate the title), these dresses are fantastic because a) they're so loose and flowy, can be worn by just about anyone, regardless of body shape. b) they're so comfortable - their loose shape makes them completely restriction-free! And c) they're beautiful - with a quick shoe-and-accessory change, these dresses can be made casual enough to wear to the beach or dressy enough to wear out on a warm summer night. Soooo amazing!
My favorites are the dresses like these in fun colors and floral patterns, with great details...and they're everywhere among Hollywood's hot list.
(My girl Gwen Stefani, right, is completely preggers and still totally rocks the look!)
My advice? Buy one. Get one. Two? Seven?...Immediately.

- Quiz Intro
No conscientious supervisor wants to think that sexual harassment occurs in the areas they oversee. Unfortunately, many managers who really want to do the right thing just dont recognize it when it happens, and they end up handling grievances or, worse, lawsuits.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission defines sexual harassment as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical harassment of a sexual nature." The EEOC goes on to say that offensive remarks about a persons sex are includedbut simple teasing, offhand comments, or isolated incidents are not prohibited."
So how far is too far? What is simple or offhand? Take a look at these scenarios and choose how you think each one turned out. Read more

American flags had been hung from the white colonial houses that line the main drag of tiny Warren, Vermont, and the color guard, the marching units and the floats that would participate in the community's fifty-seventh annual Fourth of July parade had lined up just beyond the covered bridge. At the appointed hour, the local fife and drum corps played "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," an ancient cannon was fired and the parade stepped off–fire trucks sounding their sirens and children in bib overalls dancing with hoes. In the thick of it, behind the World War II jeep and ahead of the Rotarians, was a white-haired, 63-year-old native New Yorker who is the most prominent democratic socialist in America. Dressed in khaki pants and a button-down shirt, Bernie Sanders, now in his eighth term in Congress, marched without a cadre of aides handing out literature, without any signs to draw attention his way, without so much as a campaign pin or a bumper sticker identifying him as a candidate for the state's open Senate seat in 2006. The "minority of one" member of Congress who sits in the House as neither a Democrat nor a Republican did not require any introduction. As he came into view, waving his arm and calling out hellos, spontaneous and sustained applause erupted from Vermonters, who shouted, "Give 'em hell, Bernie!" and, again and again, "Senator Sanders!"
"It's mind-boggling how popular Bernie is. And it's not just progressives. People who tell you they have no interest in politics, who tell you they don't trust any politicians, are the ones who love Bernie the most," says Margrete Strand, who several years ago watched Sanders up close while she was running a campaign for a Democratic Senate candidate who lost (Sanders won his House seat by a landslide). Polls consistently identify Sanders as the most popular politician in the state, and election results confirm the survey research: He was re-elected in 2004 with more than two-thirds of the vote against a well-funded Republican challenger, sweeping not just his traditional base in Burlington but the vast majority of the state's 251 rural towns. Now, with the decision of Republican-turned-independent Vermont Senator Jim Jeffords to step down, Sanders is the clear front-runner to win one of the few US Senate seats next year where no incumbent is running. True, he will still have to deal with the multimillion-dollar GOP attack campaign that is certain to target him, but with top Republicans backing away from the race, Democrats getting in line behind his candidacy–sometimes grudgingly, sometimes not–and polls showing him running 2 to 1 ahead of likely foes, he seems well positioned to make those calls of "Senator Sanders" official.
Even if he were not a socialist, and even if he were not an independent who eschews most of the trappings of contemporary partisan politics–including those of a Democratic Party he sees as dramatically too centrist, too cautious and too unfocused to counter the country's drift to the right–the enthusiasm Sanders inspires would be remarkable. That he attracts the support he does with what are generally portrayed as career-crushing liabilities in American politics has made his Senate campaign the subject of a good deal of fascination among progressives looking for a successful model in an era when too many Democrats seem to think the only way to win is by trimming their sails. When the question of the moment is, What's the matter with Kansas? it's no surprise that Democrats want to know how Sanders wins tough races in an overwhelmingly rural state by drawing the enthusiastic support of precisely the sort of white working-class voters Democrats have had such a hard time hanging on to in recent elections.
Unfortunately, Sanders is not peddling easy fixes. What he has to teach is not a new scheme for organizing a campaign or raising money. There's no Bernie Sanders gimmick. Rather, Sanders offers confirmation of a fundamental reality that too many progressive pols have forgotten: An ideologically muscular message delivered in a manner that crosses lines of class, region and partisanship is still the best strategy. "Bernie earned people's trust over a long period of time by taking strong stands and sticking to them," says Peter Freyne, a columnist for Burlington's weekly newspaper, Seven Days. "There's a connection between what the politician says and what the politician does. And it's always there. The consistency of where he's coming from and who he's looking out for has been there since I started covering him in 1981."

Apple's new iPad will be available for sale at Apple Retail Stores this Friday starting at 8:00 a.m. local time, according to retail signage obtained by 9to5Mac. As is typical of product launches, Apple Retail staff will be holding scheduled "overnights" on Thursday to change out floor models and banners.
Image courtesy of 9to5Mac.
While the majority of new iPad owners will obtain their device directly from Apple, both AT&T and Verizon issued press releases Tuesday to remind consumers that they, too, will have all models of WiFi + 4G iPads available for sale Friday. RadioShack announced last week that it also plans a Friday launch of iPad sales.
The 8:00 a.m. launch time was previously suggested by the grand opening of the newest Apple Retail store at Highland Village in Houston, TX. It was clear from the timing of the store's opening that Apple wanted to have the location ready to go for the iPad launch.
Now that online preorders around the world are sold out, traffic should be high Friday at all locations selling iPads as consumers too late to preorder attempt to get their hands on the product day one. Of course, there will also be the usual group of customers who enjoy waiting in line and mingling with other Apple fans.

New Photo Shows Off Ruby Rose and Cast of 'The Meg'
While we wait for a trailer for Jon Turteltaub's massive shark movie The Meg, an adaptation of Steve Alten's novel, we've got another image to hold you over today.
This one shows off the bulk of the main cast, including Jason Statham, Ruby Rose, Li Bingbing, Cliff Curtis and Page Kennedy. Check it out below!
Warner Bros. Pictures will release The Meg on August 10, 2018.
In the film, "A deep-sea submersible—part of an international undersea observation program—has been attacked by a massive creature, previously thought to be extinct, and now lies disabled at the bottom of the deepest trench in the Pacific…with its crew trapped inside. With time running out, expert deep-sea rescue diver Jonas Taylor (Statham) is recruited by a visionary Chinese oceanographer (Winston Chao), against the wishes of his daughter Suyin (Li Bingbing), to save the crew—and the ocean itself—from this unstoppable threat: a pre-historic 75-foot-long shark known as the Megalodon. What no one could have imagined is that, years before, Taylor had encountered this same terrifying creature. Now, teamed with Suyin, he must confront his fears and risk his own life to save everyone trapped below…bringing him face to face once more with the greatest and largest predator of all time."
Rounding out the international main cast of Meg are Rainn Wilson (TV's The Office, Super), Winston Chao (Skiptrace, Kabali), Jessica McNamee (The Vow, TV's Sirens), Ólafur Darri Ólafsson (The BFG, TV's The Missing), Robert Taylor (Focus, TV's Longmire), Sophia Shuya Cai (Somewhere Only We Know), and Masi Oka (TV's Hawaii Five-0, Heroes).

I've been reading Peter Schweizer's Reagan's War, about which I'll have more to say in the future. But I was somewhat reassured this weekend–as millions of people world-wide, and especially in Western Europe, demonstrated in favor of tyranny–to be reminded of what happened in the early 1980's. President Reagan's anti-Communist policies generated fierece opposition both in Western Europe and in the U.S. When he visited Europe in June 1982, hundreds of thousands of protesters took to the streets to oppose his proposal to place medium-range missiles in Germany. And the demonstrators represented no mere fringe element. In West Germany alone, 4.7 million people signed a petition calling for unilateral nuclear disarmament–a policy that would have resulted in their immediate enslavement.
Then as now, the anti-war forces adopted a pose of moral superiority, but were in fact led by traitors, criminals and terrorists. The most popular German anti-war leader was General Gert Bastain, who was respected not only in Germany but in America. Sponsored by the anti-nuclear group SANE, he made appearances on The Today Show, NPR's All Things Considered, and many other radio and television programs. After the fall of Communism, Bastain was discovered to have been an East German agent who received a salary from STASI, the Communist secret police. And the anti-nuclear petition campaign was run by the German Peace Union, which secretly received 5 million deutsche marks annually from East Germany.
Likewise, in America the nuclear freeze movement was popular and powerful. Some polls suggested that even a majorityof Republicans favored a freeze, and many leading Democratic politicians supported the freeze movement. One of the principal organizers of the freeze movement was the World Peace Council, a group that was feted on Capitol Hill by Democratic Congressmen. After the Soviet Union collapsed, it came to light that the Council was a creature of the Soviet Politburo. The Politburo suppored it to the tune of $50 million a year, and the Countil's anti-war activities were directed by the International Department of the Politburo's Central Committee.
Today, opposition to the Administration's pro-freedom policy is led in Germany by Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer, a former terrorist who is now a dedicated supporter of terrorism. Today's opposition is no more entitled to moral credibility than the Communist-inspired "peace" movement of the early 1980's. Thankfully, it appears that President Bush, like President Reagan, is neither fooled nor deceived by those who demonstrate for "peace."

Improvement in Technical Support Technology
The improvement in technology has given rise to various new products and services. They have improved the daily tasks and work. Now, for almost every task the individuals and businesses heavily rely on the role of computers.
There has been a tremendous growth in the number of computer users. So, the technology should be capable of providing the solutions to their issues and technical complaints at the earliest. However, there is some or other kind of limitation on the ability of handling the technical complaints of all the users. For instance, if you are facing any kind of software related technical complaint or performance related issue; you do not have to wander in search of the service centers for getting your technical problems resolved. You can get it resolved by just allowing a technical specialist to remotely access your computer system and solve it. It depends on the service provider, what kind of service they are providing, at what cost, and how efficiently they are able to resolve your technical complaints.
The market is crowded with several online technical service providers. Various companies are proving customer service free of cost to solve the technical problems of their customers.

Paul Allen's Museum Gets a Makeover
Seattle institution EMP Museum broadens its scope beyond music
The Experience Music Project began life as a music museum. So what are that replica of a throne from HBO's "Game of Thrones," that "Star Trek" command chair for Captain Kirk and those pages of J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" manuscript doing there?
Founded by investor and philanthropist Paul Allen in Seattle in 2000, the museum later dedicated space to a Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame. Over the last two years, the museum has repositioned itself again, this time as a single institution,...

The Kite of Sound, shown here, was entered into the Taiwan competition for the Taipei Performing Arts Centre but was not shortlisted. A glass & steel light coverage that alludes to the socio-functional unity of the complex is a metaphor of a big sound vibration, a Kite of Sound, dragged by the wind. This dynamic and unifying shell is necessary to give identity to varied unity of functions, each one having different and specific formal characteristics, immerged in a urban frame that is also strongly fragmented, diversified and subject to turbulent traffic.
Without the "Kite of Sound Roof" the Performing Arts Centre would be absorbed in the anonymity of the urban texture, while with it, it finds its unitary and unmistakable identity. That identity is neither autonomous nor extraneous in comparison from the surrounding Taipei cityscape because it constitutes its iconic, qualifying and characteristic heart, and none the less a calm island, away from the never stopping traffic where it is immersed and given back to the life and sociality of the Taipei inhabitants.
Further information on the competition can be found here.

Obama's health care overhaul turns into a sprint
JayTee Sandy, UTNov. 15, 2012 8:40 a.m.
Sprint to the "Finish" line is exactly correct. This poorly drafted, ill-conceived boondoggle with finish off many of the good things we now depend on for "health" care in this country, and it will finish off a lot of small businesses. It will prove to be an astronomical boondoggle, and further proof that the Federal government, the biggest and most disorganized organization in the history of the planet, has the infinite capacity to take any issue and make it far worse and far more expensive than anyone ever dreamed. But when we see the damage it causes, Obama supporters will also prove their infinite ability to blame this fiasco on something or someone else.

Sweden has extended its biggest military mobilisation since the Cold War as it investigates apparent "foreign underwater activity" in its coastal waters.
Maritime drama deepens as Sweden extends 'mystery submarine' search
Maritime drama deepens as Sweden extends 'mystery submarine' search
Speculation centres on suspicions that a Russian submarine could be in trouble, amid three sightings of a mystery vessel that may or may not be snooping.
Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven is playing down the James Bond-style drama.
"There is an increase in training exercises on both sides, both from Russia and NATO," he said.
"There is no reason to exaggerate any concerns but of course we are informed of what is happening in the Baltic as it is in our immediate surroundings."
With shades of Frederick Forsyth, the maritime mystery has fired the imagination of the region and triggered claim and counter-claim.
Moscow denies it has any submarine in mechanical trouble in Sweden's waters, but nervous governments fear that the Baltic Sea could become the next flashpoint with Russia after Ukraine.
The Netherlands denies Russian reports that the submarine could be Dutch.
Lithuania meanwhile suspects a link between the submarine incident and a massive floating liquefied natural gas terminal intended to reduce the Baltic region's dependence on Russian energy.

I am trying to acce the Harvest API using Basic HTTP authentication. I have an account with Harvest that works fine.
When I try to use PowerShell to use the Time Tracking API http://www.getharvest.com/api/time-tracking I am not able to authenitcate from PowerShell.
I have tried using the "old" way
$user = "username"
$pass = "password"
$url = "https://mydomain.harvestapp.com/account/who_am_i"
$auth = 'Basic ' + (ConvertTo-Base64 -string "$user\:$pass")
$req = New-Object System.Net.WebClient
$req.Headers.Add('Authorization', $auth )
[xml]$webpage = $req.DownloadString($url)
This only gives me a 401 Not Authorized. The username/password is verified to be correct.
I have also tried the Invoke-WebRequest and Invoke-RestMethod, same result. I tried this:
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri https://yooakim.harvestapp.com/account/who_am_i -Headers @{"AUTHORIZATION"="Basic base64encodedtoken="} -Method Get
Can anyone help me get the HTTP Basic Authenitcation correct?
by DonJ at 2012-09-06 15:03:34
You need to see what else your browser is sending in its HTTP request header. It's likely there's some cookie or something that needs to be set. Remember, PowerShell isn't a Web browser, so you'll have to manually do whatever the browser is normally doing automatically.
by Eric at 2012-09-13 22:48:57
Download http://fiddler2.com/fiddler2/ and capture the transaction from your browser and check the fiddler output. As Don says there could be some underlying object your not accounting for in the GET request.
by nykolla at 2012-09-15 11:34:49
I think this will work for you:
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $baseuri -Headers @{"Authorization" = "Basic "+[System.Convert]::ToBase64String([System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($username+":"+$password ))} -Method Get
by yooakim at 2012-10-05 06:00:03
Thanks for the suggestions but for some weird reason the Auth header does not seem to be sent with the request? When I view the session using Fiddler the request does not containt the auth header, Fiddler says:
No Proxy-Authenticate Header is present.
No WWW-Authenticate Header is present.
I'm doing this on a Windows 8 RTM machine.
by yooakim at 2012-10-05 10:39:02
I got it working, this way:
[string]$account = 'acctname',
[string]$username = 'userid',
[string]$password = 'password',
[int]$day = (Get-Date).DayOfYear,
[int]$year = (get-date).Year
$uri = "https://$account.harvestapp.com/daily/$day/$year"
$auth = 'Basic ' + [System.Convert]::ToBase64String([System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($username+":"+$password ))
$req = New-Object System.Net.WebClient
$req.Headers.Add('Content-Type', 'application/xml')
$req.Headers.Add('Accept', 'application/xml')
$req.Headers.Add('Authorization', $auth )
[xml]$webpage = $req.DownloadString($uri)

If you are reading this, we can only presume that you are a few terms away till graduating, finishing your thesis, or gearing up to graduate. You've already ordered your gown, booked your gown and are currently mustering some words to add to yourFacebook profile caption when you get to finally post your graduation photo online, FINALLY. I know, It's a wonderful feeling. You are finally about to graduate. The feeling is unexplainable. Its a mixture of pride, happiness and accomplishment.
With all these feelings, I can't help to mention that there is also a feeling of anxiety that comes with it. Yes, you are about to enter the big bad world of adulthood. But in order to be sure of having a smooth landing, I have come up with a few truths that come with entering the real world.
Ignore What Bitter People Say
I am not going to tell you that the real world will be strawberry fields forever–Beatles reference. However, it can be fun if you want it to be. Multiple times you are going to meet a lot of grumpy people who dislike their lives and drag their feet the whole time at work. Ignore these people. Your job can be enriching, satisfying and meaningful. It all stems on your attitude towards it.
Stay On Top Of Your Paperwork
The inevitable has come! Taxes, 401K enrollments, healthcare forms and oh god..paying rent. We all have to all start from somewhere. Get ahead and get organized.
Don't Compare Yourself To Others
I feel as if everyone who graduates then goes to Europe for their master degree or lands an awesome job in a multinational company. These people make it seem so easy. Sometimes you will pretend to be super proud of them but really, there is a hint of jealousy in there. Don't allow social media do this to you. Live your best life. A life that fits your means.
Your Major Will Not Matter Sometimes
This realization might shock recent graduates that end up getting a job that has no connection to their major. That's why life skills are way more important. Don't worry too much though. You have plenty of time to figure out your true passion, build a business and grow a family.
