|World Player of the Week
|Pailan Arrows
|United Sikkim
In a truly global edition of World Player of the Week, this week's prize is awarded to Beto, the stand-out star of the I-League this week and one of the most impressive players in the division this term.
The 33-year-old delivered two commanding displays for Churchill Brothers, contributing directly to three goals and receiving a Man of the Match award as the Goan outfit secured six points to maintain their four-point advantage at the top of the pile.
Having gone a goal behind against Pailan Arrows, Beto inspired his side to a sensational comeback, setting up Henri Antouchet for two strikes in the space of three minutes before Israil Gurung settled the match just a couple of minutes later.
And the Brazilian maintained his tremendous run of form heading into the weekend clash with United Sikkim, heading home from a corner after just four minutes to help his side secure a hard-fought but vitally-important win as they pursue title glory.
Goal.com's Rahul Bali had this to say on the veteran's stunning form of late: "Beto has scored 11 goals from 12 matches in the I-League and has six assists to his name already. Of the 37 goals Churchill have scored in the league to date this season, Beto has had a hand in 45.94% of them. What's more, his leadership qualities have come to the fore in a year when they lost Arindam Bhattacharya, Gouramangi Moirangthem and Lalrindika Ralte - three India internationals - over the summer. While they were certainly not the favourites to mount a title challenge at the start of the season, Beto's form has proved to be the inspiration in Churchill's surge up the table.
"He is deadly from set-pieces and his ability to score from distance is second to none in the I-League. His late runs into the box often result in a goal."
|Congratulations to Beto, Goal.com's 191st World Player of the Week winner!

San Jose Earthquakes president Dave Kaval made the following statement today in regards to forward Alan Gordon's use of inappropriate language during last night's game against the Portland Timbers:
We are working hand in hand with the league right now on this very serious matter. Alan's comments do not reflect the views or beliefs of our organization. We have always promoted an atmosphere of acceptance and equality in our stadium and amongst our diverse and passionate fans.
I am appalled by the use of the hurtful language on the pitch last night. We will use the collective energy and resources of our club to foster an inclusive environment for all of our fans. I hope to use this deplorable incident as a tool to help eradicate offensive language of this kind.
For our fans, I know the organization has let you down. I will do my best to take the necessary actions to make sure we once again can be viewed as a beacon of diversity, community, and equality.

sorry i am typing on mobile phone.
i stopped reading osnews for a while because the review for opera 10 was bias and unfair. (this is coming from a fan of firefox more than opera). the desinger who designed the opera and firefox buttons is the same person. those buttons style was used by opera first, so its firefox that is copying opera (among many other things). although i do have to admit Opera need to listen to customers more, fixing bugs and replying to customers request, this will gain them more users. if they want to compete with firefox, they'll need an addon system (not the limiting widgets.)
there are still more things firefox need to copy off from opera to improve, such as the bookmarking system. adding and maintaining bookmarks in firefox is a pain (the very little window that pops up when you press ctrl+d). it can't even sort them in alphabet order for christ sakes. i hear there are some people who uses "tab mix plus" to have 500 tabs opened at the same time in firefox. if they could maintain bookmarks as easy like opera they wouldn't had to require 500 tabs.
the opera ui provides maximum freedom, which is what osnews criticize about. people prefer to be limited of functions than to have too much. so in a way, it seem to backfired for people who are used to the firefox ui which is fixed solid and left-to-right oriented (unless with addons), which really came from internet explorer interface.
with that said, i am so spoiled with firefox addons that i will not likely switch back to it soon, unless there is noscript for opera (i know there are some, but doesn't work too well).

Suspects in Dec. 26 killing must return Jan. 23
Friends and family of the four men suspected in the Dec. 26 killing of Dajuquon Poole and attempted murder of Tiran Farris showed up early to Lenoir County District Court Monday � and waited.
In fact, by the time William Deshawn Wilson went before the judge after noon, they numbered at least half of the people remaining in the courtroom. Wilson, 21 and accused of attempted murder, received the first of several vocal shouts of encouragement. The supporters yelled �love you� to him as a Lenoir County Sheriff�s Office deputy escorted him back to the Lenoir County Jail.
Judge Timothy Finan assigned attorney Kimberly Benton to be Wilson�s counsel.
Finan reminded the assembled friends and family that if it weren�t for the specific circumstances � a near-empty courtroom at the end of the day�s business � the group could be in trouble for contempt of court, but he would let the matter pass in this individual situation.
Deputies brought in suspects one-by-one into the courtroom, and Elwood Donnell Gray followed Wilson. Gray, 31, was the first to appear of the three who are charged with first degree murder in Poole�s death. Gray asked Finan to read the entire charge against him. He expressed concern about losing his job at Butterball, and asked about the possibility of getting bailed out of jail.
On his exit from the courtroom, Gray received his �love you� cheer and responded, �Love you too, but it might be over today. This is crazy.�
Each of the three men accused of first-degree murder have been held without bond at the county jail since their arrest Friday night. Police took into custody Gray, Joseph Michael Wilson and William Deshawn Wilson at 132 S. Adkin St. Justin Antonio Wilson was arrested at 470 E. Lenoir Ave.
Finan instructed the defendants that their attorney would have to make the necessary bond motion.
Justin Antonio Wilson, 23, and Joseph Michael Wilson, 27, received the same instructions as Gray, along with waves and cheers from their supporters.
Joseph Michael Wilson is due in Lenoir County Superior Court today on common-law robbery and larceny charges relating to a separate incident. Poole was supposed to be in superior court today as well, for felony possession of a Schedule I controlled substance.
Because of the severity of the charge, N.C. Office of Indigent Defense Services in Raleigh will appoint attorneys for the three defendants accused of first-degree murder.
All four men are expected back in district court on Jan. 23.

She also placed third in the 3,000 meters with an ECAC qualifying time of 9:56.94. At the New England Championship, Selmquist ran a personal-best and school record 16:49.55 in the 5,000 meters, winning the event by six seconds. The Northford, CT product took third in the 3,000 meters (9:42.98) to earn All-New England honors in both events.

All scholar-athlete award winners must have earned a minimum of 60 semester hours at their institution, maintained a minimum cumulative grade-point-average of 3.20 and participated with distinction as a member of a varsity team.

ROCKTON - Before a concealed carry permit is issued, the Illinois State Police will enter the applicant's name into a database accessible by law enforcement agencies who can view and object to the permit if they believe the applicant is a danger to themselves or the public.
The provision was written into the law to keep firearms out of the hands of individuals who may slip through the cracks, such as someone with a history of battery, intoxication, or suspected drug and gang involvement who was never convicted. Such a person will not show up on an ISP background check, which primarily checks for red flags in the form of felony convictions or admission to mental institutions.
While the provision seems innocuous enough, Rockton Village Trustee Pat Hoey said the village should consider "opting out" of the ISP agreement for liability reasons.
"Until the legislature spells out reasons to object, you open yourself up to a lawsuit," he said.
If a law enforcement agency objects to an individual receiving a concealed carry permit, that agency is on the hook for verifying all information in the permit application and assumes all risk associated with the issuance of the permit.
The Firearm Concealed Carry Act states: "By entering into this agreement, the participating agency agrees to assume, without limitation, all risks of loss, as well as any and all claims, actions, losses, expenses, and damages that may arise from the participating agency's use of and submission to ISP's FCCA Law Enforcement Objection Database."
Hoey, also a Rockford Police lieutenant, said the Rockford Police Department has its reservations about entering into the agreement.
He said each law enforcement agency also has to consider how labor-intensive it will be to vet every concealed carry application.
Rockton Deputy Police Chief Matt Hollinger, however, is still open to making use of the database.
"It's a learning process, and it's going to be for some time," he said of the permit process. "I believe the board wants to get the best information about it and what impact it will be on the village of Rockton."
Winnebago County Sheriff Dick Meyers also noted if an objection is filed, the matter would go before a state Firearms Concealed Carry Licensing Review Board, a seven-member body appointed by Gov. Pat Quinn. The board - a former judge, two former prosecutors, three former FBI agents and a psychiatry professor - has 30 days to conduct each review and decide whether the permit should be issued.
"You just can't object for the sake of objecting," Meyers said. "We would have to have some information that would be a disqualifer. This is an attempt to find those who fall through the cracks that the state should know about."
The Chicago Sun-Times reported earlier this week an objection filed by the Cook County Sheriff's Department to a concealed carry application submitted by a Latin King gang leader.
The gang leader's criminal background includes 12 arrests for charges such as aggravated assault, burglary and failure to register a firearm, but no convictions.
Another Cook County applicant was arrested 20 times over nine years for crimes that included resisting a peace officer and domestic battery. The man was found guilty of two misdemeanors, but such convictions don't prevent someone from obtaining a firearm owner's identification card, a pre-requisite to obtaining a concealed carry permit.
Winnebago County State's Attorney Joe Bruscato called the provision in the law "standard bill of fare."
"We have a duty as a law enforcement community to protect a community, not (worry about) whether or not we'll get sued.
"Right now, I think it's a good thing that law enforcement review the list. It's just an extra precaution built into the system."
Rockton officials are scheduled to discuss the matter at a village board administrative committee meeting Monday.

I do not think Mr. Denzel Washington's performance is underrated because he is black. Denzel is an excellent actor. I am sure he is well respected and he draws patrons of all races in to the theater, because he appeals to all people. I try to see all of his movies on the big screen. Denzel's acting ability is versatile in my opinion. Mr. Washington is a role model, being a successful black man, a loving husband, and a successful actor, director and producer. And he is a genuinely nice human being, basing this on all I have read, and observed on TV and in person once. I wrote the review on November 25, 2017, beginning with: I waited a few days before writing this review. For me, it could have been that the writing for that character role and or the performance based on the writing for that role did not add up or strayed off course. Coupled with I know a thing or two about the topics the character depicted, which did not add up. The end of the movie was sad but also powerful. And I like the review posted on February 7, 2018, because the rater's perspective on what the movie was about is insightful. I am giving 5 stars today because it is Black History Month and Mr. Denzel Washington is an excellent Black History Month Role Model, and an excellent actor.
This is not just a Black History Month story, or a story about Civil Rights, or the people portrayed (based I assume on a composite, or actual historical persons). It's a morality tale about Selling Out vs. doing the right thing, most pertinent to our times right now. There are many subtleties in the script and acting that were, I guess, not perceived by most of the reviewers. I wanted to watch it again, buy the DVD to watch it many times, right after leaving the theater. Denzel Washington's performance is also, maybe because he's black, underrated.
Its just a little over a month since the movie came out. l was gonna take my mom to see it today but it isn't playing anywhere in the state of Michigan. WTF!!! l don't go by others bad reviews of any movie. People loved Justice League, Thor Ragnarock and the new Star Wars movies, l thought they all were subpar. Why did this movie vanish?
It was boring right from the get go, I left 3/4 through the movie, hoping it would get better but it didn't . Two stars is being generous .
Washington and Farrell are great, that's it!
This was a terrible movie, no plot ,no stortline And Denzel Washington acted badly,ireally don't see all those 5 stars.When you go to see a movie starring Denzel you expect to see a good movie .That was not the case here.
Denzel excellent and divers actor .We enjoyed the movie from start to end. Recommended highly
While the plot was not the best, the characters were great!
Movie was great. They had Denzel looking cray but I enjoyed it. Great cast and terrific acting.
Cont. from below: I have no regret paying to see the movie in the theater. What I am saying is this: If Israel is a savant, then stay on this message throughout the movie. If Israel is a complicated or conflicted person, let us see this. If Israel is merely awkward, then stay on this message throughout the movie. If Israel was awkward until experiencing the death of a close colleague plus experiencing the changes at the law firm all of which caused Israel to become bitter (an argument for why he did what he did), then nurture this message throughout the movie. I did not feel ebb and flow watching this movie.

First off, let me say that it was a blast seeing you guys live at Sweden Rock Festival!
1). I would like to know if you have any plans of continuing the Operation: Mindcrime storyline in the future?
2). I really enjoyed hearing Damaged during your recent performance, do you guys have any plans of returning to that Promised Land frame of mind?

1. Will Chris DeGarmo be joining you, at least on the tour?
2. Will ever be another covers LP?
3. Are you going toward classical music, keeping in mind the rythm, pace and grit of your last LP?
4. Are there any chances to listen any unusual musical collaborations on your future LPs?
5. Please, revive 'Promised Land' - your most influential and gifted LP...
Thank you for everything.
I will expect you in Romania, soon.

1. Is there any chance of Chris DeGarmo contributing music again like in the Tribe album. Obviously he was a big part of the Queensryches sound and he is missed by the fans.

1. Does it ever creep you out that some of the lyrics in Operation: Mindcrime became so prophetic?
2. Do you consider doing another exploratory / experimental record like Promised Land?
3. I recall interviews when Mindcrime was released, where the guitars were put in boxes to get an "icy" kind of effect? Do you still experiment to try to get tones that have never quite been heard before?
4. Thanks for all the years of great music.
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

1 - Do you ever wish to return to the deep introspection in Promised Land?
2 - Gotta ask: is DeGarmo's ever coming back in any form?
3 - And yes, thank you very much for the music you've created that has touched me and affected me so greatly.

i love the band's efforts from the debut EP upto Promised Land, and to a lesser degree, Hear in the Now Frontier. I bought Mindcrimei think 5 times altogether (3 as cassettes and 2 for CD)
My question:
Given that QR's prime days are well in the past circa mindcrime to promised land, how was the band dealing with increasing pressures from fans to compare recent efforts and new musical directions with past glory?
has the now quartet found the perfect new sound? What is it like?
And who are we to justify the right in all we do
Until we seek, until we find Ammonia Avenue

It's been a long time since the last time Queensryche made a long song (nearly 10 minutes). Any chance of us to see you make a long song again in the future?

Why have the band decided to change their style in the mid 90's and then change back in the mid 2000's?

Great promotion. Here are my questions:
1. With the recent success of the Rage for Order, Empire and American Soldier extended suites, would you consider doing the same for the musical genius that is Promised Land? Or even recreate the elaborate theatrical stage setup from the original tour and play the entire album?
2. With the shift to the Roadrunner record label (great move by the way), will you consider implementing a heavier, more guitar-oriented approach to new material, with more focus on aggressive, punchy riffs, energy and intensity?
3. Will guitar legend Michael Wilton be resuming a more active role as a songwriter in the creation of new material for upcoming albums?
And echoing above sentiments, new 10min+ mini-epics along the lines of Suite Sister Mary would also go down nicely. Are there any plans for longer, progressive songs such as this?
Looking forward to the band's choices. Thanks Queensryche for showing your appreciation for the fans by making the effort to hear our voices and opinions.

1. The 30th anniversary of your self-titled debut is approaching in a few years. Do you have any plans to celebrate this anniversary?
2. Being together for 30 years, how has the songwriting process changed now from when you were in your 20s?

Nothing really. Some teenagers wrote a song called "Queen of the Reich." It went over well with the audience, a few letter chopped and the obligatory 1983 umlaut later, thereyago.I think that song happens to be one of the best Iron Maiden style songs written. Don't watch the video though...it's painful.
Oh wait...you want them to answer. oooooooops.

Over the years we have seen the creative songwriting process of Queensrÿche evolve from Tate/DeGarmo/Wilton to a much broader mix of contributors including Tate/Rockenfield/Jackson/Gane/Slater/Gray/Carell on the "Dedicated to Chaos" release. From a fan's perspective, the upside of this evolution is the diversity of musical styles in the Queensrÿche catalog. The downside is that the evolution seems to be taking Queensrÿche further away from the core sound of power guitar and vocal range. Is there a desire within the band, as there is among the fans, to bring this evolution full circle by creating an epic thinking-man's-metal masterpiece?

Operation Mindcrime is obviously the fan favorite, but do the band members think that they have surpassed that with some other album or albums? I'm quite fond of The Warning myself.

1. "House of Eternity." I want it. Now. I'm evoking an answer.
2. Given the current state of the economy, how will ticket prices/merchandise be affected? Will you be playing fewer venues?
3. Will you be surprising us with any special guests on your next tour?
**I love you guys. From the bottom of my heart. I had pictures of you in my locker in high school and I just knew I was going to marry Geoff someday (we know how that worked out). BUT...please, for the love of whatever is out there, no more trapeze artists. All the theatrics detracted from the music and left me confused. I understand you were flexing your creative muscles and while I appreciate that, you have a hardcore cult fanbase that wants Geoff to not wear a codpiece. I will love you until I draw my last breath, and I will embrace your creativity. Just please don't make it so...busy...**

Historically Dumb Censorship: Wal-Mart's Refusal To Sell Jill Sobule's Album Due To Prozac Pill
from the promoting-drug-usage dept
When I was about to release my 2nd Atlantic record, "Happy Town", I was alerted that Wal-Mart was refusing to carry the CD. They told the label that the broken capsule depicted on the cover was somehow celebrating illegal drug use. Never mind that the drug in question was Prozac (with the familiar mint green and Mercedes cream/yellow colors) but that Wal-Mart itself is one of the big dealers. What made it even more silly, was they thought the granules pouring out looked like cocaine. That never crossed my mind. It made me wonder what kind of hopped-up druggies Wal-Mart was employing.
I decided, rather than dismiss a whole segment of society that would probably not buy my record anyway, I would...wimp out. I replaced the capsule with a test tube -big deal. Somehow, this made them happy and the "cocaine" stayed.

The Chinese spew their propaganda 1984-style 24 hours, religion (Buddhism) is still poison. If you look for authentic Buddhism in Tibet, you will end up with the half-truth because people are scared to express their hearts. No, friend - Buddhism is subjugated in Tibet.
I get my info from various sources. Have you heard about the monk Palden Gyatso? He´s oppressed even in Norway, he was arrested even if he did a peaceful protest in a so called developed country as my own. Money talks, suffering walks!

Fall Business Meeting and Dinner
|The Visiting Committee to the Department of Art History
4:00 PM Private Tour led by Bill Michel, Executive Director of the Logan Center
North Entrance
4:30 PM Business Meeting and Lecture, Mapping the Soundscape of Renaissance Florence: New Technologies in Architectural History featuring Niall Atkinson, Neubauer Family Assistant Professor
Seminar Terrace Room 801
6:30 PM Cocktails and Dinner joined by members of the Art History faculty and select graduate students, with a presentation by current student, Maggie Taft
Performance Penthouse
About the Lecture Niall Atkinson explores the relationship between architecture and experience in the Italian Renaissance city. He has recently embarked on a collaborative project which allows researchers to combine historical data with historical maps, enabling users to explore Florence's urban history in a virtual environment. Working with Peter Leonard, Associate Director of Humanities Computing, Atkinson experiments with digitally mapping the soundscape of Florence in the 13th to 16th centuries as a way of understanding how Florentines experienced the city as a multi-sensorial phenomenon. Together they have discovered new ways that digital technology can greatly enrich our understanding of the relationship between the production of works of art, architecture, and the communities that producedthem.

A 14-year-old student with Asperger syndrome says he was physically attacked for being Jewish following a history class on World War II's Holocaust.
Matthew Lough told his mother Sharon that bullies set upon him. Speaking to the Guardian newspaper, his mother said Matthew had revealed during the history lesson that his maternal great-great-grandmother was Jewish.
She said, "It started last year with the swastikas drawn on his books, he was called 'Jew boy' and one fellow pupil even told Matthew: 'It's a pity that the gas chambers were not still open so we could deal with you.' This was before the physical assault."
Carrickfergus College, whose motto is "Developing and Empowering Young People for Life", is a secondary school on the outskirts of the town of Carrickfergus, County Antrim.
The harassment against Matthew allegedly continued until Easter this year.
Sharon said, "Because Matthew had reported the verbal abuse and the bullying, one boy took exception to this and during an attack on my son he kicked him in the head. Matthew later came home and started to complain of headaches. By this stage there was the lump the size of an egg on his head and my husband got very worried. When we eventually got Matthew checked out in A&E we were told that he had concussion from the kick."
Speaking to the BBC, Matthew said that the bullies had attached swastikas to his school bag and called him anti-Semitic names.
He said, "It kind of annoyed me and upset me but the real truck was when I was attacked in the woods during an orienteering exercise in PE. The guy was suspended for five days. This year, it was a guy who was singing a song about how Hitler had gassed 6.5 million Jews, all happy and do-lallies."
The name-calling had continued, despite the suspension of two students, according to his mother.
She said, "We encourage Matthew to live, as much as he can. Aspergers does not change who he has ever been. We don't want him to be considered as a special case. He is a very intelligent child and very loving and very caring about people around him."
The BBC reported that these anti-Semitic attacks are now being investigated by the police. The North Eastern Education and Library Board (NEELB) said it had been assured by the school that they had fully and properly followed board regulations for regarding the suspension of pupils.

My lousy Android experience
My initial experience was negative--Amazon sent me a phone with instructions to go to Verizon's web site to activate. Verizon's website wanted me to enter a code from a Verizon invoice. No such invoice was included, and none of the numbers from the Amazon invoice worked. So I had to talk get through to a human being, at which point activation was fairly simple. But one more hurdle arose when I had to login to a Google account, which was an obstacle of my own creation--I use very long randomly generated passwords with special characters, and have independent Google accounts for different services, so I had to choose which one to use with the phone before I knew what all the implications would be. (I chose my GMail account, which has worked out OK.)
I wanted to set the phone up to use my own email servers, and to connect over VPN to gain access. This proved to be an obstacle that took a few days to resolve, due to inadequacies and bugs in Droid applications. The default VPN client doesn't support OpenVPN, so I had to gain root access to install an OpenVPN client. This turned out to be the only reason I needed root access on the phone, and I managed to get that working without much difficulty.
The Email application, however, refused to send outbound mail through my mail server, which allows outbound port 25 client connections from internal hosts with no authentication but requiring TLS. This combination simply doesn't work--I ended up setting up port 587 (submission port) with username/password authentication via Dovecot. Though I would have preferred using client certificate authentication, I couldn't get it to work. I still run into periodic problems with Email refusing to send outbound messages for no apparent reason--and the server shows no attempts being made. There doesn't seem to be a way to select an individual message in the outbox for an attempt to re-send.
I managed to get contact and calendar synchronization working with my Mac, but I ended up exporting my iCal calendars to Google Calendar and using them as my primary calendars. Most of the correlation of contacts in the phone from multiple sources (e.g., Facebook, LinkedIn, and my Address Book) worked fairly well, but some contacts are duplicated due to name variations. Synchronization with LinkedIn is somewhat buggy, with first and last names showing up in contacts as "null null." The Calendar app is even more buggy--I've created events on the phone that disappear, I've seen error messages in Portuguese and events with names that appear to be leftover debugging messages. I was also surprised to see that spelling correction was performed, without any prompts, on events I imported into the Calendar app from GMail (it incorrectly turned an acronym, "JAD," into the word "HAD").
I've received an SMS text message from one person which was identified as being from another person--looking at the specific contact information showed that the telephone number of the sender was associated with the correct contact, yet the name and photo displayed on the phone was of a different contact that had no association with that telephone number.
The phone's camera capability is pretty good, but when I connect the phone to my Mac, it launches iPhoto but doesn't find any photographs. I have to import them manually by pointing iPhoto to the correct location on the SD card.
I've seen the phone crash repeatedly, especially when using location services (Google Navigation, Maps, and Yelp have been repeat offenders). There also seems to be some caching of location information that gets out of sync with other location information. For example, I saw Yelp correctly show me nearby restaurants, but refuse to allow me to check in to the one I was sitting in because I was "too far away"--and Maps showed my location being somewhere else I had been earlier. In one case, thousands of miles away--an attempted Yelp check-in after returning from a vacation in Hawaii showed my location on the map as still being in Hawaii. In at least one case, I was unable to get my location to update for Yelp until I rebooted the phone.
I've had issues doing things as simple as copying and pasting a URL from Firefox to Facebook or Twitter. I copy the URL, verify that it's in the clipboard correctly, but when I go into Facebook or Twitter to paste it, it is truncated.
The number of bugs I run into seems awfully high for very basic applications. The problem is no doubt in part due to the way development occurs between Google, Motorola, and Verizon, and Linux development, which also seems to be an obstacle to fixing security vulnerabilities. The May 2011 issue of CSO magazine reports that Coverity has done two scans of Android source code for the HTC Incredible, finding 359 defects (88 critical) on the first scan last November and 149 defects (106 unfixed from the previous scan) on a more recent scan. Accountability for the code is distributed across the aforementioned groups. (Also see this CNet story, or the Coverity report itself.)
I wonder if I would run into problems like this with an iPhone.
UPDATE (May 19, 2011): And now there's a security vulnerability identified in version 2.3.3 of Android and earlier (I'm on 2.2, and can't update until Verizon pushes an update), which potentially exposes contacts, calendar events, pictures, and other items stored in Google-hosted services, if users access those services via unencrypted WiFi. Although the connections to those services are over SSL-encrypted HTTP, there is a returned authToken that can be intercepted and used for subsequent logins to those services. I've never used my Droid on unencrypted WiFi networks, but I'll now take extra care to make sure that I don't. Version 2.3.4 fixes the problem for contacts and calendars but not for Picasa photos.
UPDATE (November 16, 2011): It's still been a horrible experience, and I still see regular crashes, particularly when using map and location-related applications. A new discovery today while traveling is that the World Clock widget does not know when Daylight Saving Time occurs--the option labeled "Daylight Savings[sic] Time: Adjust displayed time for Daylight Savings" appears to just set the clock forward one hour, not display the correct current time taking into account the date and whether Daylight Saving Time is in effect in the given location. I traveled to the east coast and saw that my World Clock widget time for New York was one hour ahead of the actual time in New York. It's utterly ridiculous that this widget requires the user to check and uncheck this option manually when Daylight Saving Time is in effect or not--that's exactly sort of simple task that computers are equipped to do on our behalf.

Good Grief
Buddhism asserts that attachment is the primary source of suffering. So then detachment or "non-attachment" would be our ticket out of that pain. Except that it's not so easy... letting go of a person, place, or thing that has our heart temporarily held hostage.
You may be grieving the death of a loved one, or the end of a friendship you had hoped would be more, or merely the realization that your father will never be able to give you what you need from that relationship. It seems as though every moment of this life is about letting go, of something or someone that is renting far too much space in our heads. And while there is no way I'd call myself a "let go" expert, I have done a considerable amount of research in this area. So the following are some techniques that... well... will at least get us started.

That's why the group is lightening its burden by asking San Diegans to step in and keep an eye on things. Enter the pollution reporting hotline.
The pollution reporting hotline is just that — a way for residents to reach out when they witness pollution and bring it to the attention of the appropriate authorities. And because knowing who the appropriate authority is can be tricky when it comes to reporting, say, runoff water flowing onto our beaches or a neighbor improperly disposing of waste, Coastkeeper acts as a liaison between vigilant residents and the city department that can address their concerns.
"We're trying to use our connections to get reports to the right people," said Jill Witkowski, waterkeeper for Coastkeeper. "Also, some people want to remain anonymous, so there's more privacy for those who maybe aren't comfortable providing names to the city. It can also be hard for the city to follow through with anonymous complaints, so we act as the go-between in those cases."
In some instances, Coastkeeper also provides a more thorough experience than the city has the resources for.
"Some residents want a follow-up to their inquiry, to know what happened, but the city doesn't have the capacity to do that," Witkowski said. "We can follow through and keep people informed."
Recently, La Jolla was the site of two cases of water pollution that, through Coastkeeper's hotline, were brought to the attention of city officials and quickly resolved. In one case, a resident witnessed a neighbor dumping paint down a storm drain. The resident called the hotline, and the information got passed to Witkowski, who emailed it to the city's stormwater hotline. When she hadn't heard back a week later — and when the concerned resident complained that the issue was ongoing — Witkowski decided to call the city's Think Blue hotline and requested information on the initial complaint. She found out the city's inspector hadn't been able to reach the offending resident until that day, but was finally able to get in touch and inform the resident of the policies regarding the disposal of paint. According to a write-up of the incident that Witkowski posted on Coastkeeper's website, when the resident who had filed the complaint returned home that evening, the neighbor was hard at work cleaning up the mess.
"Reporting these issues is often a last ditch effort for people when they feel like they can't talk to their neighbors," Witkowski said. "We like to see it as a way for everybody to pitch in to educate others and help change behaviors, which will lead us to better water quality. We're just trying to provide a service to help those that can't reach a solution through neighborly conversation."
In another case, a La Jollan brought to Coastkeeper's attention the build-up of sand, mud and debris that had caused the low-flow diversion drains in the community to be clogged, thus causing urban runoff to flow directly into the stormwater drains — and right on to the beach.
Though the hotline has been in effect for quite some time, Witkowski said the number of incoming calls and emails has increased lately — heartening news for those who, no matter how badly they want to combat water pollution, simply can't be everywhere at once.
"The more we can talk about the pollution problem, the more likely it will be we can do something about it," she said. "We all contribute to pollution, and it's difficult and expensive to expect the city and county to clean up after we've caused the problem, instead of doing our part to confront it beforehand. I think if people look at it as a pocketbook issue, hopefully that could be an effective message and they'd be prompted to do something."
Doing something, Witkowski said, can be as easy as talking about action.
"We need to get educated about the impacts of the choices we make, and we can all act on the little things to prevent pollution," Witkowski said. "Taking your car to a car wash that collects the soapy water or washing your car in the grass if you can, making sure your sprinklers water the grass and not the sidewalk — these are all little things we can do. Once we're able to do those things in our own lives, we can talk to our friends and neighbors. It's that simple."

Egypt court rules Mubarak ex-PM can stay in race
CAIRO -- Egypt's highest court ruled on Thursday that the last prime minister to serve under Hosni Mubarak can stay in the presidential race and that a third of lawmakers in parliament were illegally elected, forcing a re-vote in a potential blow to Islamists who dominate the legislature.
In one of twin decisions, Egypt's Supreme Constitutional Court allowed former prime minister Ahmed Shafiq to contest Saturday and Sunday's presidential runoff against the Muslim Brotherhood's candidate, Mohammed Morsi. The court ruled that a law passed by parliament last month banning senior former regime figures from running for office was unconstitutional.
The second ruling centered on parliamentary elections that were held late last year. A lower court earlier said that the law organizing that vote was illegal because it allowed political parties to run candidates for the third of the parliament's seats that were set aside for independents. The other two-thirds of the seats were contested by party lists.
The high court on Thursday agreed that the election for the third of the seats was illegal.
As a result, new elections must be held for at least those seats, and possibly for the entire legislature. The court did not specifically address what steps must now be taken, and the decision appears to fall to Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi, the head of the military council that has ruled Egypt since the fall of Mubarak on Feb. 11, 2011. Tantawi could suspend the current parliament until the one-third of seats is re-elected, or he could dissolve the entire chamber and order new vote on all 498 seats.
The Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamists have the most to lose from a new vote. The Brotherhood won nearly half of parliament's seats and ultraconservatives known as Salafis won another 20 percent. Many of those seats were among those dedicated to independents.
The Brotherhood's popularity has dramatically declined in the six months since parliamentary elections were held. Morsi won only 25 percent of the votes in the first round of the presidential elections last month. Non-Islamists in a field of 13 candidates won more than 50 percent of the votes.
Hundreds of police and troops backed by armored vehicles set up a security ring around the court ahead of the rulings and scuffles broke out immediately after the rulings were issued between anti-Shafiq protesters and the security forces.
Earlier, in the court, Shafiq's lawyer Shawki el-Sayed denounced the so-called "Political Exclusion Law" that banned ex-regime leaders, saying it "smacks of a desire to exact revenge, which undermines the sanctity of the law. It encroaches on freedoms."
Islamist lawmaker Essam Sultan defended the so-called "political exclusion law," saying, "The revolution is in a state of self-defense. Parliament has a right to tailor legislation for one person."
Shafiq and Morsi finished as the top two vote-getters in last month's first round of the election. The two-man race has polarized the nation. The anti-Shafiq camp views him as an extension of Mubarak's authoritarian regime. The anti-Morsi camp fears he and the Brotherhood will inject more religion into governmt and curtail freedoms if he wins.

The Lady Raiders had a chance to avenge that loss, and in the process take home first place in their own tournament Thursday night. It didn't quite happen.After making a furious fourth-quarter rally, the Lady Raiders fell 35-33 to the Lady Bulldogs in the championship contest.

North Carolina State was a consensus preseason top-10 choice, the favorite to win an ACC recently dominated by neighbors Duke and North Carolina. Rarely, if ever, has the Wolfpack looked more the part than the past two days at the conference tournament.
Virginia Tech and Virginia are no one's idea of championship contenders, but State's domination of the Hokies and Cavaliers was impressive nonetheless.
"I think they're the most offensively talented team in our league with the five on the floor at most times," Virginia coach Tony Bennett said Friday after a 75-56 quarterfinal loss to the Wolfpack.
All five State starters average at least 12 points a game, and although All-ACC forward Richard Howell struggled Friday with six points, his four running mates combined for 67 points. Scott Wood provided the perimeter punch with seven 3-pointers, while T.J. Warren and C.J. Leslie battled inside for 18 and 17, respectively.
The Wolfpack was more balanced in Thursday's 80-63 dusting of Tech with Howell scoring 22, Leslie 15, Wood and Warren 13 each. The ACC's assists leader, Brown had 18 in the two games.
State dropped recent road games at North Carolina and Florida State and tied Virginia for fourth in the ACC standings at 11-7. But its last six victories have been by at least 13 points.
"I think our team is beginning to find, you know, that 'groove,'" Wolfpack coach Mark Gottfried said Friday. "I like to use that word. I think we're gettin' in a good spot."
N.C. State (24-9) did the same last season. After deadlocking with Virginia for fourth, the Wolfpack advanced to the ACC semifinals and NCAA Sweet 16.
Friday's semifinal pits State against top-seeded Miami. The Hurricanes and Wolfpack met just once during the regular season, Miami prevailing 79-78 on Reggie Johnson's tip-in at the buzzer.
That was State's lone defeat in 17 home games.
"They have proven from start to finish that they have been the best team in the league so far," Gottfried said. "We have a lot of respect for them, they're big inside. With the three big guys [Johnson, Julian Gamble and Kenny Kadji] in there, they're not just tall, they're thick."
Shane Larkin, Miami's All-ACC point guard, "had a phenomenal year, and he's dangerous to guard at the top of the key, or wherever he may be," Gottfried said. "They have guys that can make shots, and they have guys that are built to win. Very few teams end up with that many veteran players at one time who are that good and Jim (Larranaga) has done a great (coaching) job with them."
Larkin and Brown are the ACC's two best pure point guards, and Miami wing Durand Scott, the league's defensive player of the year, figures to check Wood. Toss in Johnson/Kadji/Gamble versus Leslie/Howell and you get a compelling matchup that produced one of the regular season's finest games.
But Howell took a knee to the thigh against Virginia and played in pain for much of the second half.
"Not really," Gottfried said when asked if he'd seen Howell play with such discomfort, "but he's a tough, tough guy, and he plays through about everything, and I asked him a couple of times if he was OK, and I knew he wasn't, but he didn't want to come out of the game, and he battles like that."
State has little depth, and if Howell is compromised, Miami figures to rule the interior.
Saturday marks Miami's second ACC semifinal in nine years of conference membership. The Hurricanes have never reached the championship game.
N.C. State's most recent final was 2007, where it lost to North Carolina. The Wolfpack's last ACC championship was 1987 under the late Jim Valvano.
Saturday is State's third game in as many days, but Gottfried insisted fatigue will not affect his team.
"No, that's a rule we have, you're not allowed to get tired," he said. "Our guys will be fine."

Women For Women International have asked some of the greatest minds and talents in the world to tell them about the food they simply cannot do without.
The recipes come from all types of personalities - including Nelson Mandela, Judi Dench, Christiane Amanpour and Annie Lennox - to highlight one very important cause: celebrating the work of the charity that helps women in war-torn countries.
100% of the profits go directly to help women in need.
With a foreword by Meryl Streep, the recipes in the Share cookbook are varied (great for vegetarians and carnivores alike) and aren't overly fussy.
So, how does Judi make her bread and butter pudding? Read on for three very different recipes:
This recipe, one of Nelson Mandela's favourites, was created for him by his chef in Maputo, Esmenia Rafael Gemo.
Preparation: 15 minutes
Cook: 20 minutes
Serves: 4
2kg small crabs, cleaned and steamed
4 slices white bread
1–2 tablespoons of milk (or enough to soak the bread)
2 medium onions, finely chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 large red chillies (melegueta), finely chopped
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg, separated
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
- Preheat the oven to 140C/gas mark 1. Take the crab meat from inside the shells and cut it into small pieces. Retain the crab shells, as you are going to stuff them.
- Soak the bread in the milk.
- In a pan, saute the onions over a low heat in the olive oil until soft and then add the garlic, chillies and bay leaf. Increase the heat and add the crab meat and lemon juice and mix well. Remove the bread from the milk and add it to the crab mixture. Once everything is well combined, add the grated cheese and remove the mixture from the heat. Take the mixture from the pan and let it cool. When it is cool, add the egg white and the chopped parsley.
- Put the crab mixture into the reserved crab shells and brush with the egg yolk. Place the stuffed crabs in the oven for 15 minutes. Serve hot.
She says: "I love this pasta recipe as it is incredibly easy, fresh and super-healthy. It's perfect for vegetarians, and can easily be varied for non-veggies by substituting the pine nuts with anchovies or by playing with more fresh ingredients as you go along."
Preparation: 5 minutes
Cook: 10 minutes
Serves: 4
2 broccoli heads, cut into florets
100ml extra virgin olive oil, plus 4 tablespoons to serve
5–6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon chilli flakes
500g dried orecchiette (or pasta of your choice)
50g pine nuts, toasted
handful of fresh basil leaves
60g Parmesan cheese, grated or shaved
salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, add the broccoli and simmer for 3–5 minutes or until tender.
- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a separate pan and gently cook the garlic and chilli for 2–3 minutes or until the garlic is golden brown. When the broccoli florets are tender, scoop them out of the water with a slotted spoon and add to the pan with the garlic and chilli along with 120ml of the broccoli cooking water, reserving the remaining water. Using the back of a fork, crush the broccoli with the garlic to form a coarse purée.
- Return the pan containing the broccoli cooking water to the heat and bring to the boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the packet instructions until al dente. Drain thoroughly and tip into a large serving bowl.
- Top with the broccoli purée and drizzle over the additional olive oil. Scatter with the toasted pine nuts and basil leaves. Toss until evenly distributed. Season with freshly ground black pepper and serve with grated or shaved Parmesan cheese.
Dame Judi Dench says: "This is delicious and provides the perfect solution for what to do with those Italian cakes you get given at Christmas!
Preparation: 10 minutes
Cook: 40 minutes
Serves: 6–12, depending on portion size!
500g panettone
50g butter, softened, plus extra for greasing
10g candied lemon or orange peel, finely chopped
25g currants or raisins
350ml milk
175ml double cream
grated zest of ½ lemon
50g caster sugar
3 eggs, beaten
grated nutmeg, to taste
- Preheat the oven to 180C/gas mark 4. Grease a 1-litre rectangular enamel baking dish.
- Slice the panettone into 1½ –2cm slices and butter each slice. Cut the buttered slices into quarters and arrange over the base of the dish to cover. Sprinkle with the candied peel and half the currants or raisins. Arrange another layer of panettone in the dish and sprinkle with the remaining currants or raisins.
- Pour the milk and cream into a measuring jug. Stir in the lemon zest and sugar, then add the beaten eggs and stir to combine.
- Pour the milk, cream and egg mixture over the panettone. Sprinkle with freshly grated nutmeg. Bake in the oven for 30–40 minutes until just set and browned on top and serve warm. This is especially good with Butterscotch sauce (see below).
Butterscotch sauce
75g light muscovado sugar
150ml double cream
50g butter
- Place the sugar in a pan over a medium heat and add 1 tablespoon water.
- Heat, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved, then bring to the boil and cook for 5–7 minutes, or until you have a dark caramel.
- Whisk in the cream, then the butter. Serve drizzled over the bread and butter pudding (above) with a scoop of cream or ice cream.

While Mona's heart was changed for good, the blood in her veins still runs evil. This causes her to be severely weakened with a curse of a war between good and evil inside her. On top of that, Laura, Daniel's once best friend, was changed into a demon by Lucifer seemingly to get to Daniel. With everything changed, it's left up to Daniel to save Mona's heart and possibly her life. At least, that's what Daniel thinks.

Jeffrey Stepakoff is a smooth storyteller in "The Melody of Secrets." Will Maria reunite with Cooper? Will she investigate Hans' past? Will she become a civil rights activist? Will the symphony flourish? Will we put men in space? Some answers we know; others, Stepakoff will answer for us.
After finishing a master's degree in playwriting from Carnegie Mellon, Jeffrey Stepakoff went to work in television writers' rooms in Hollywood. He honed his storytelling abilities working with "The Wonder Years," "Sisters" and finally "Dawson's Creek," where he was co-executive producer. Stepakoff has written of his TV adventures in an entertaining and knowledgeable insider book, "The Billion Dollar Kiss: The Kiss That Saved Dawson's Creek …"
Tiring of the pace and stress, Stepakoff changed career directions and accepted a teaching post at Kennesaw State University. Since then he has staked out new territory in a trio of novels. These are best described, I think, as love stories — not Harlequin romances, formulaic and predictable; not strictly chick lit — young assistant in the city, "Bridget Jones' Diary," "The Devil Wears Prada" — but not "Anna Karenina," either. Think more in terms of "Love Story" or "The Notebook" or "The Bridges of Madison County."
Stepakoff's novels, like many of these, involve lovers who meet at inconvenient times and places, usually not free to pursue the relationship openly but desperately attracted to one another anyway, sometimes parted by circumstances and getting a second chance.
Maria Reinhardt, our heroine, lives in Huntsville with her rocket-scientist husband, Hans, and her 12-year-old boy, Peter. The year is 1957. Maria is shocked by the segregation around her.
Down in Florida, the Navy's vanguard rocket is failing test after test, exploding on the pad. America is in a state of anxiety. The Soviets' Sputnik passing overhead reminds our military of the Russians' ability to launch an ICBM.
Now the Pentagon, in desperation, will give the go-ahead to Juno, being developed at Redstone Arsenal by Werner von Braun and 117 other German scientists. This technology is based on the V2 rocket these same scientists were developing in Nordhausen and sending into London.
Stepakoff brings up a number of issues, many quite debatable, that raise this novel above romance.
Hans Reinhardt likens the rocket to a blade: a life-saving scalpel in one man's hands, a killer's weapon in another. Knives don't kill people; people kill people.
At Nordhausen, did these scientists know their rockets were made with slave labor, the families of the workers having been sent to the death camps? Did they know civilians in Britain were the targets? Were the scientists Nazis? SS?
Hans denies everything. Science was his only passion.
Does Maria really want to know? Does anyone?
Senior Intelligence officer Colonel Adams puts it this way: "Americans gladly forego the public debate … what Americans really want is security."
Maria, a brilliant violinist, concertmaster of the nascent Huntsville Symphony Orchestra, believes Hans. Some German wives know exactly what their husbands did. Others less.
And Maria has a secret of her own, of course. Twelve years earlier, in 1945, an American pilot named James Cooper crashed near her cottage while bombing Nordhausen. She helped him
escape after a brief, very intense love affair.
Now, at a fundraiser for the symphony, not only do George Wallace and Sen. John Sparkman walk in the door but so does Major James Cooper, now an Air Force test pilot.
Stepakoff is a smooth storyteller. Will Maria reunite with Cooper? Will she investigate Hans' past? Will she become a civil rights activist? Will the symphony flourish? Will we put men in space? Some answers we know; others, Stepakoff will answer for us.
