A brief history of an 1890s commercial building in Hopkinsville, Kentucky
|F. A. Yost Building in Hopkinsville, KY
In 1894, a handsome brick building was constructed on the northeast corner of 10th and Main in Hopkinsville. It was originally occupied by The Racket, a firm that advertised itself in period publications simply as "The Big Store."
Years of Yosts
By 1897, according to Meacham's City Directory of Hopkinsville, Kentucky of that year, The Racket had moved. It was in business selling "everything" at 214-216 South Main. F.A. Yost & Co. had opened a harness and saddlery store in the Racket's former location, 207 South Main.
At that time, Forbes & Bro. Hardware & Farm Machinery was the next building south, just across 10th Street. The J. H. Anderson clothing and shoe store was directly across Main Street to the west.
A 1906 photo postcard of this section of Main Street appears in Postcard History Series: Hopkinsville, by William T. Turner and Donna K. Stone (Arcadia Publishing, Charleston SC, 2006.) It shows streets full of buggies and wagons, and sidewalks crowded with shoppers. The ladies and girls are wearing long dresses, and every man, woman and child is wearing a head covering of some sort. The sign on the Yost building reads, "Buggies. F.A. Yost Co."
Soon thereafter, around 1910, the Cayce-Yost partnership was formed. As time went by and business flourished, the Cayce-Yost Hardware Store took over F.A. Yost's saddle and harness shop. The Cayce-Yost Department Store occupied the building just to the north of the hardware store, and the Cayce-Yost Farm Store was located a few doors down the street to the south. A furniture store was located in the upper floors of another nearby building.
In a linen postcard of the 1940s (below,) Cayce Yost Hardware is located in the third building from right. (Note the distinctive round window at the top of the building.) I bought this postcard on eBay. This same card appears in Postcard History Series: Hopkinsville where it is dated "c. 1946."
End of the Cayce-Yost era
The last of the Cayce-Yost stores closed out completely in the early 1990s. We had only recently moved to Hopkinsville. I remember their close-out sale, the only time I was ever in any of the stores.
Apparently the Cayce Yost Hardware Store moved to a different location or closed not long after the picture postcard above was printed. The Kentucky New Era (subscription required) reports that Jim Noland's Western Auto Store used the building from 1951 to 1980, and Bartholomew's Restaurant was in the building from 1982-1997. Several other restaurants have followed in recent years.
The Yost building today
Currently, a restaurant called "Timmons" is located on the first two floors of the Yost building. In the photo at right, you can see some diners at tables in the lower windows. The ground floor could be called a basement, I suppose. It's a couple of steps down from street level. The first floor is a few steps up.
The second floor has a banquet room, and the proprietors of the Timmons establishment, David and Michelle Norris, live on the top floor of the building.
The building has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1979. Before the Timmons opened, a good deal of maintenance was done on the building, including replacement of all the windows on the 10th Street side of the building (all those you see in the photo at the top of this post.) Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Norris, for doing that.

You can use extra-virgin coconut oil in the dressing instead of the macadamia, olive or sunflower oils if you like. In fact, it's a great choice, particularly if you'll be serving the rice hot. It solidifies at room temperature. Follow the same instructions, just don't be alarmed by the white flecks in the dressing after you puree it. They will disappear upon heating.
1/3 cup macadamia oil, olive oil, or sunflower oil
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1/4 cup (fresh or canned) all-natural 100% pineapple juice
1 garlic clove
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons soy sauce (or shoyu)
1 cup pineapple, cut into chunks
2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
1/4 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
4 handfuls of mizuna, watercress, or arugula
2 1/2 cups cooked brown rice, room temperature
4 green onions, thinly sliced
3 shallots, peeled and thinly sliced
1 cup cashews, roasted/toasted and chopped
1/2 small serrano chile, seeded and deveined, and minced (optional)
4 ounces seitan, cut into little bits and pan-fried (optional)
Start by making the dressing. Combine the oil, sesame oil, pineapple juice, garlic, red pepper flakes, soy sauce, fresh pineapple, ginger, and salt in a blender or food processor. Puree until smooth. Transfer to a small saucepan, and gently warm just before serving, don't simmer or boil.
In an extra-large bowl toss the mizuna with a generous splash of the dressing. Arrange it on a platter (as a bed for the rice)
You can serve the rice portion of this recipe room temperature or hot - Wayne really loved the hot version, and so did I. In the same bowl you used to toss the greens, or in an extra large skillet over medium heat, combine the rice, most of the onions, shallots, cashews and serrano chile, and seitan. Add about half of the dressing and toss well. If you are serving the rice hot, saute it in the pan until it is heated throughout. Taste, and adjust with more dressing if needed. Spoon the rice over the greens and finish with any remaining onions, shallots, cashews, and seitan.
Serves 2- 4, main vs. side.
Inspired by and (heavily) adapted from a recipe in the Summer 2009 Edible Hawaiian Islands publication.

Difference between revisions of "Del Rio"
Revision as of 08:46, 26 September 2010
Del Rio [5] is a city in the South Texas Plains, across the Rio Grande from Ciudad Acuña in Mexico.
Get in
Although Del Rio has a small airport, the best way to come is by car by either US 277 from Sonora on I-10 (about 80 miles north) or via US 90 from San Antonio (about 200 miles east).
Get around
The best way is by personal car. There is at least one taxi company.
Laughlin Air Force Base is located just outside Del Rio.
The major attraction in the Del Rio area is Amistad National Recreation Area [6], where camping, boating, and fishing are available (the Bassmasters Elite tournament was held here for four years in a row until 2008). At Lake Amistad, visitors can also find 4,000-year-old Indian pictographs, which are accessible only by boat at Panther Cave and at Parida Cave.
Val Verde Winery [7] in the downtown area offers a wine-tasting of about a dozen of their wines for about $5 per person or a free tasting of only three. Their wines are excellent and range from sweet (notably the San Felipe del Rio red, their Texas Rose, and their Muscat Cannelli) to exceptionally dry (Cabernet Sauvignon), but their port has won awards. Most of their wines are blends with grapes from other vineyards, but one is made of only grapes grown at the winery.
Karaoke at Lorina's Cantina (see below) on Saturday nights.
Del Rio has one, relatively small, indoor mall with typical mall stores: Beall's, Penney's, etc. and the town cinema with several screens.
The Adrian Falcon Gallery [8] offers contemporary art by Del Rio native Adrian Falcon.
The downtown area has numerous shops, including several antique shops and a few selling rustic furniture.
La Hacienda is a Mexican restaurant downtown that offers an excellent buffet of Mexican food for a very reasonable price. One item not on the menu is "cabrito" (goat), which you have to ask for and it is excellent, succulent meat, beautifully roasted. Each day the restaurant roasts one goat in the morning and sells it until it runs out. Get there early! Their coffee is great and compares well to Starbuck's.
Lorina's Cantina, outside of town on US 90 toward the Lake, has steak night on Wednesdays from 6:00 to 8:00. Call ahead to reserve a steak. The steaks are about 3/4 to 1 lb in size, thick cut, wonderful, beautifully seasoned, succulent, and come with a baked potato and salad (only lettuce and dressings) bar for only $13 per person. This is a real meal for meat-and-potato-kind-of-guys.
T&B (Todd and Bullet's) Bar and Grill next to the Day's Inn on US 90 has good food and a good bar. Anthony Bourdain of the Travel Channel once came here for their Corona Chicken, which is succulent pieces of chicken about the size of the neck of a Corona bottle filled with cheese and wrapped in bacon.
Chinto's on Sixth street has excellent Mexican food and generous portions in a comfortable atmosphere for very resonable prices. Hours about 6:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. (per many traditional Mexican restaurants).
Standard fast food (Wendy's, Whataburger, etc.) and chains (Chili's, Luby's, etc.) are available.
There is one Thai restaurant, Jitra's, in town with mediocre Thai food.
Lorina's Cantina and TB's are excellent places for relaxing evenings with a beer and friends. TB's also offers excellent food seven nights a week, while Lorina's offers steaks on Wednesday nights from 6 to 8.
For a glass of wine in a quiet, comfortable atmosphere, Casa de Vino on US 90 near Lake Amistad (not far from Lorina's) is the place to go. It offers about 300 different wines and a small appetizer menu in a comfortable, very clean setting. Casa de Vino also offers a small patio for watching the sun set on warm evenings.
The Herald Martini Bar is probably the classiest place in town and a good place to go for a nice dinner and drinks.
Get out

With the strength of two school records and four second place finishes Saturday, Missouri S&T's women's track & field team finished in fourth place overall at the Great Lakes Valley Conference Indoor Championships held at the University of Indianapolis.
With the strength of two school records and four second place finishes Saturday, Missouri S&T's women's track & field team finished in fourth place overall at the Great Lakes Valley Conference Indoor Championships held at the University of Indianapolis.
The Lady Miners finished the two-day meet with 64 points, ending up 23 points in front of a William Jewell team that it was tied for fourth with after Friday's competition. Bellarmine captured the women's team championship with 156 points to 141 for the host Greyhounds.
Rachel Ederle and Molly Clement tied for second in the pole vault with a clearance of 11-2 ½, while Mary Ann Bradshaw broke the school record in the triple jump with her second place finish in the event, jumping 37-0 ½.
S&T also had a second place and school record showing in the 4x400-meter relay that was led off by Bradshaw, as she joined Rachel Lawal, Natalie Updyke and Katlyn Meier to post a time of 4:01.95 that was just over a second off the winning time posted by Bellarmine.
Taylor Cipicchio finished fourth in the pole vault with a clearance of 11-21/2 - finishing behind Ederle and Clement based on misses – while Sydnee Schram gave S&T a fourth scorer in the event by placing sixth at 10-2¾.
Sadye Wichmann was seventh in the triple jump with a mark of 35-4 as was Lawal in the 400-meters with a time of 1:01.17 and Meier in the 60-meters in 8.23 seconds. Updyke finished eighth in the 800-meters in a season-best 2:23.87.
Bradshaw, the winner of the pentathlon on Friday, was the only Lady Miner selected to the All-GLVC first team. The second team members included Ederle, Clement, Lawal, Updyke and Meier.
Bradshaw used a big finish in the final event of the pentathlon Friday to capture the championship.
Heading into the final event, Bradshaw trailed by 135 points and needed to finish at least 11 seconds faster than Saint Joseph's Samantha Nirva in the 800-meters in order to win the pentathlon and did so, running a winning time of 2:26.62.
She broke her own school record in the process with a final total of 3,224 points, finishing two points in front of Nirva.
Later in the evening, Bradshaw recorded a fifth place finish in the long jump with a mark of 17-5¼, while teammate Sadye Wichmann took seventh with a leap of 16-10½. During the pentathlon, Bradshaw had the best mark in that event with a season-best 18-0¼. Missouri S&T's other scoring performance Friday came from Samantha Wermager, who finished in sixth place in the pentathlon with 2,904 points.
Katlyn Meier qualified for Saturday's finals in the 60-meter dash with a time of 8.03 seconds as did Rachel Lawal in the 400-meters as she posted a time of 1:00.97, her best time of the season in that event.

It's my birthday...
I'm wearing a white shirt.
This could be ugly.
CycleDog: (n) 1. An all-weather bicyclist, often regarded as one very sick puppy with a bad attitude. 2. A ankle-biting poodle with a Mohawk. (l)Canis familiaris cyclus
Heh heh :-)
Happy Birthday, and enjoy the food. Have you made it down to McAlester yet for good "Eye-tee" food?
We haven't been to McAlester yet, Fritz, mainly because Mary has a hard time traveling. In fact, I doubt that we've been out of Owasso more than 6 or 8 times this year. So it's nice to have a small, quiet Italian restaurant here. Napoli's is a regional chain with about 8 or 10 stores in Oklahoma. We also have a brand-spankin'-new Olive Garden that opened last week. I prefer Napoli's.
Surprisingly, I didn't get a single spot of red on my shirt last night! Imagine that. Normally I wear my food well.
Belated birthday well-wishes and congratulations on your (allegedly) spot-free shirt.
Did you get any cool gifts?

Thermaltake Armor A90 Review
Thermaltake is a brand that has been around in the computer industry for what seems like a century to computer enthusiasts, even if that may only be about ten years. With a plethora of computer cases, power supplies, fans, heatsinks, liquid cooling setups, and hard drive enclosures, Thermaltake is definitely one of the most prolific manufacturers in the computer accessory world. Founded in '99, Thermaltake's ongoing goal is to "formulate the perfect mixture of versatility, efficiency and thermal management", in both the server and home consumer category.
Being the first Thermaltake case I've been able to work with first hand, I don't know what to fully expect with the Armor A90. I remember when I was a lot younger, I saw a few folks with the Xaser IIs and IIIs at LAN parties and I couldn't get over how huge and cool looking those cases were. The Armor A90 is one of Thermaltake's newest additions to their line of cases, and now it's in my hands to throw it on the test bench and provide a full evaluation!
Closer Look:
The package of the Armor A90 is a glossy black cardboard box with high quality graphics on the exterior. The front of the box has a picture of the case along with the text, "Armor A90, Created for Combat." The right side of the box has the phrase: "This is a computer Chassis, please refer to our official website for product information". On the left side of the box is only a simple picture of the case with the manufacturer part number. Finally, the rear of the case has a graphical overview of the case with specifications and additional features, such as some pictures of the airflow directions and closeups of individual components with short explanations about them.
The Armor A90 is packaged just like any other case. Upon opening the box, you'll find the case wrapped in a plastic bag wedged between two blocks of Styrofoam. On top is the instruction manual - safe in a plastic bag. The manual is clear and offers explanations to most, if not all, of the case's features. I had to refer to it a couple of times if I didn't understand something, which I'll talk about over the next two pages.
With the case out of the box, the next couple of pages will involve a full overview of the case with my thoughts, as well as explain how different mechanisms work and how they perform.

Frenchtown House Fire Likely Work of Serial Arsonist
A house fire that occurred on December 4 in Frenchtown now appears to be the work of an arsonist. 29-year-old Randi Lamont will appear in court on Monday on charges of arson and cruelty to animals.
Public Information officer for the Missoula County Sheriff's office Jason Johnson says that deputies became suspicious after hearing Lamont's testimony.
"She had interesting excuses for different things," explains Johnson. "such as having calling her ex-husband the night before and asking him to watch the animals that were in the house. Also, there were Christmas gifts in the storage unit and not in the house. Ultimately, in the very end, she didn't give a full admission, but stated that she had thrown a newspaper at a lit candle and perhaps that is what caused the fire."
There's even more to this story, though. Johnson says that another home of Lamont's burned down in Great Falls just this past summer. No charges were filed in that case, but Johnson says the "circumstances of that situation kind of match what we've discovered here. It appears to be an attempt on her behalf to get sympathy and attention as she faces difficult times in her life."
Lamont was scheduled to be in court for another matter on December 5th the day after the Frenchtown fire.

Never mind the new guy, Johnny Borrell of the British band Razorlight. What we can't get over is what Kirsten was thinking when she put together her pub-hopping outfit on Tuesday night. Let's start with the obvious — yellow thigh-highs with orthopedic oxfords? A dress that's so short that it qualifies as a shirt? And the clashing bright-red Chanel purse and maroon floral scarf? Oh, Kirsten. We're all for mix-and-matching, and London is the right place to try out eccentric fashion choices … but we can't help but think that you've missed the mark on this one. Tell us: What do you think of Kirsten's oufit? Would you ever wear it?

Let's face it – the holidays can be kind of crazy. So crazy, in fact, that December's Flickr photo of the month was somehow overlooked until today. With apologies to wheelcipher, this month's featured photographer:
The Hall of the Americas – a permanent exhibition at the Houston Museum of Natural Science that features the history and cultures of North and South America – houses some of the most dramatic artifacts in the entire museum. Is it any wonder we were blown away by an image from this hall for the second month in a row?
Here's what wheelcipher had to say about his stunning image:
The shot was "lucky." I was trying to make the most of some less-than-ideal lighting conditions and playing with some of the exposure settings on my new Sony Alpha A100 camera. The fact that the picture came out so good was 99% luck. It was one of the best ones of the day.
|Museum of Natural Science by wheelcipher. You can see more of his photos on his blog.
So, what's this Photo of the Month feature all about? Our science museum is lucky enough to have talented and enthusiastic people who visit us every day – wandering our halls, grounds and satellite facilities, capturing images of the wonders on display here that rival the beauty of the subjects themselves. Thankfully, many share their photos with us and everyone else in our HMNS Flickr group – and we're posting our favorites here, on the Museum's blog, once a month. (You can check out all our previous picks here or here.)
Many thanks to wheelcipher for allowing us to share his beautiful photograph. We hope this and all the other amazing photography in our group on Flickr will inspire you to bring a camera along next time you're here – and show us what you see.

You may all go to hell, and I will go to Texas. And I will eat Tamales. - Davey Crockett
Greetings from beyond the internet void that was created in the past months with the lack of El Smokeador Y Smokehopper posts. You have no doubt been trying the various restaurants on the Fort Worth Restaurant List that Smokehopper compiled. Thank you for doing that Smokehopper. Fuzzy's truly is a gem in our small corner of this great state. We have been busy in the lab since the FWRL post coming up with new ideas that will mark 2012 as a banner year for our blog posting, meat smoking, most important, unimportant, little corner of the web community known as the internet. A taste of what we plan to bring you in 2012:
1) Chocotaco with brisket as the taco - brisket formed into a taco shell and filled with chocolate.
2) The Brisket - a silent brisket that is the best silent brisket since the silent brisket era. Film buffs will like this one.
3) Karaoke Brisket featuring a Wolf Parade reunion and BBQ Beans
4) Untitled Brisket Music project collaboration with Dan Auerbach and the Ghost of Lightnin' Hopkins
5) A how to on microwaving a brisket and ribs. From scratch.
6) Another turkey sandwich from Smokehopper.
Exciting. On to tamales.
Since we are the number 1 internet stop for confectionery BBQ, we have been toying with the idea of a Christmas brisket for some time. Candy canes certainly had to be involved, but ended up playing a minor part in this. Kind of like Tea Leoni in Deep Impact. In this sites opinion, that tidal wave should have ended her storyline in the first 10 minutes. Just a terrible movie.
Back on topic. I crushed up a bunch of candy canes with a hammer, rubbed it with paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, etc. and the crushed candy canes, smoked it and it was good.
It is time for a new smoker. The New Braunfels that has treated me so well for the past 3+ years isn't doing it for me anymore. 7lb brisket took almost 14 hours. Also, I need to take better pictures of the sliced brisket. This looks rubbery and tough, but that was not the case. The candy cane added no flavor to the meat. I was disappointed after the success of the butterfinger brisket, but I guess that was to be expected. Long story short, after making a sandwich I still had half of brisket leftover. Luckily, I saved the drippings from the smoking process and had stowed them in the freezer. Couple of days later LSmoke and I conversed and decided that brisket tamales are not featured very often and it needed to be done.
We started by soaking the husks for 45 minutes in warm water. No pictures of this. Put the husks in a pot and turn on the water from the sink. Add it to the pot. Let them soak.
Chopped up the rest of the brisket. This is only some of it.
Took the layer of lard off the top of the frozen drippings and put the drippings in a pan and heated it up.
Added the chopped brisket and a beer to the drippings. Let it simmer for close to an hour while adding some water and another beer.
Moved meat to a bowl to be strained.
Strained the meat and this was leftover.
Added that to this along with some of the lard (maybe a quarter cup) and mixed it up.
Could have used a Cornballer here. Made the mix into golf-ball sized balls of corn.
Next part is a little tricky. Grab two husks, put a ball of the corn mix in between the two and mash it down until its flat and resembles something you could roll up and put meat inside of. Then add a scoop of the meat and roll it up.
Pack them into a steamer.
And let it sit for about an hour.
Celebrate like you're at a dirt bike rally at the AAC when they are done.
Finished product.
You can see the brisket in there. I am not the best at plating. We had an idea of making a white queso and an ridiculously red salsa to make a candy cane looking bed of stuff on a plate to put the tamales on. But I was hungry and didn't. Next time maybe, but probably not. Tamales all look the same from the outside anyway, right? Reconstituting the brisket in the drippings and using the strained juice in the masa added so much flavor that it was really like eating a tamale filled with brisket. I don't know how else to describe it. Delicious? Smokey? Candy caney? Yes, yes, no.

Definitely guilty of all these transgressions (vocab courtesy Tiger Woods).
Mental node made to interrogate clients about business objectives, and the intended calls to action harder during research phases of projects. All too often our projects are planned out in those departments as we go along, and the clients often change their minds (and their entire business models) along the way. If we can nail them down to some stated objectives at the start, we'll be in a better position when the inevitable indecision comes later.
Thanks, Paul!

Hi All,
This is my first post as well as my first Sublime plugin, so please be gentle
This plugin is pretty straightforward - it sets a file's syntax based on a shebang line during file load and save (i.e. '#!/usr/bin/env python' to Python). From what I've seen, this already exists in the core, but not to the extent that it handles 'env' as the binary, with the actual binary (such as 'python') as an argument to env.
Essentially, the plugin capitalises the first character of the binary it finds and matches that against syntax directories and files in the Packages directory. In some cases, this won't work ('PHP' is all upper-case, Bash is 'ShellScript/Shell-Unix-Generic.tmLanguage') - when this is the case, simply add those to the plugin settings file. This also works if you have additional binaries that need to use the same syntax - an example being 'python2' and 'python3' needing to use the Python syntax.
More info can be found here - I'm currently waiting for the plugin to be added to Will Bond's Package Control.
Any issues, please raise them on GitHub
Hi vxnick,
I definitely don't want this to come across the wrong way, but did you give DetectSyntax [1] a try before writing your own plugin? Identifying syntax by a shebang was one of the things I wanted to accomplish with DetectSyntax, and if you tried it and it doesn't work for you, I'd like the chance to fix it.
On the other hand, if you just wanted to write your own plugin, that's great! The more people writing quality plugins the better! So please don't take this the wrong way.
[1] [github.com/phillipkoebbe/DetectSyntax](https://github.com/phillipkoebbe/DetectSyntax)
Hi Phillip,
I didn't try it, but I found your plugin about halfway through developing mine so thought I'd finish it anyway
It was more an experiment with the Sublime plugin API than anything serious, so no offence taken!
If something is going wrong with Phillip package you better try to fix it by communicating, there is no gain into having two packages doing "the same". Confuse people and is a waste of valuable resources and time.
+1000There are more and more package in Package Control that do almost the same things.
Any examples? I've looked and can't find anything similar other than DetectSyntax. I've already given my reasons why I finished developing this plugin (I hadn't found DetectSyntax at the time).
The point is to try to unite efforts to get the problems solved. Not 123234 ways to resolve it. This community seems to not understand that.If your package is not doing nothing that DetectSyntax can't do, then why you submitted the package to package control?
Nobody prevent you to write your plugins and use them, the problem is when you want to publish them on Package Control.
The Package Control repository grow very quickly, and having dozen of plugins with almost the same functionality is bad for both new and confirmed users.Searching and testing plugins is time consuming...
Github make collaborative coding simpler than it ever was, it's a pity that people don't use it more often.
I use a bunch of plugins from Package Control and a dozen of my own plugins.When I think something missing on a plugin from Package Control, I write an issue on github or send a pull request.If you think that something missing on the DetectSyntax plugin, as already asked by phillip.koebbe write an issue or make a pull request.
The reasons why you wrote your plugin and ask to publish it on Package Control is perfectly fine, but now you know that DetectSyntax exist, do you still think that your plugin must be published ?
Code Alignment:github.com/khiltd/Abacuswbond.net/sublime_packages/alignmentgithub.com/wbond/package_contro ... l/pull/226
Files 'management':github.com/belike81/Sublime-File-Navigatorgithub.com/wbond/package_contro ... l/pull/229
Code execution:github.com/darinmorrison/sublime-metagithub.com/technocoreai/SublimeExternalCommandgithub.com/wbond/package_contro ... l/pull/227
Sorry, those plugins don't look related at all to mine or DetectSyntax unless I'm missing something.
Either way, people don't have to use my plugin - I developed it as a fun sideline and it does just one thing pretty well. I think it's fair to say that some people don't know regex and don't want to have to learn it in order to detect a file's syntax based upon a shebang line. For others, like us, it's not a problem adding that to DetectSyntax's settings.
To answer your question though - I feel my plugin meets the needs of end-users who aren't necessarily proficient enough (or can't be bothered) to write the regex for detecting this as part of DetectSyntax. Phillip's plugin is clearly better than mine, but I think they serve different purposes. If I was emulating pretty much everything that DetectSyntax was, then I'd agree with you
Anyway, if Will Bond decides that my plugin isn't suitable for Package Control then that's fine - if nobody uses it other than me, that's fine too. I just wanted the opportunity to let other people know it existed in case they were looking for something simple.
P.S. I expect this plugin to be a stop-gap solution anyway, until Sublime properly interprets shebang lines.
Sorry maybe I wasn't clear (or maybe my poor english), these examples was not related to your package, but to illustrate the point that there is already kind of duplicate packages in Package Control.And I'm not saying there is something wrong with any of these packages.
So your issue with DetectSyntax is that it use regex, right ?I'm pretty sure that phillip.koebbe can add something like "first_line_noregex" to is config file in less that five minutes.. if he want... and if you ask him...
I totally disagree with this view.It's not the job of wbond to check every package that people want to be added to Package Control, with the current trend it will a full time job in a few months...This is a community driven repository so people could and have to give their opinions about its content, and this is why three people already ask you to think about it's inclusion in Package Control.
And don't get me wrong, I've nothing personal against you or your code, actually your code is very good and well commented.I expect to see more of your plugins in Package Control in future, simply not this one...
Hi Dominique,
Ah, thanks for clarifying
I don't have a problem with regex, but I know some people don't know it at all or aren't very confident with it. I'm sure Phillip could do that, but the difference is that my plugin checks if 'env' is specified as part of the shebang (and ignores it). This allows for things like '#!/usr/bin/python' as well as '#!/usr/bin/env python'. That could be done with regex with DetectSyntax, but again it comes down to what the user is able to do. There would also be a lot of duplication - you would need the same regex for each language (PHP, Python, Ruby, Bash, etc) - it'd get quite messy
Sorry, I probably didn't phrase it right - I said that as I've noticed Will commenting on some other pull requests to that effect.
OK - I know when I'm defeated, so I'll remove my pull request from Package Control. As I said previously, I don't expect this plugin to last very long anyway, as it's likely to be fixed soon (if not already, in a dev build) in Sublime core.
I appreciate all your feedback everyone, even though we may not agree - slightly disappointing reception for my first plugin, but such is life
Please, don't take it that way, it was not a battle and there is no winner or loser. Simply people with different opinion.I'm sure phillip.koebbe will read this topics and add something to his plugin for non regex guru user.
I appreciate this discussion and really hope to see others plugins coming from you soon, the mixed reception with this plugin is unrelated to the plugin itself (again with a really clean and well commented code).
See you soon.
I can appreciate the stances of both "sides", and I'm not going to push the discussion about what should be done any further except to say that this was one of the most well handled disagreements I've ever encountered on the internet. Kudos to you all!
That was meant in jest - don't worry
Nick - thanks, it's appreciated!
Ah, you put me on the spot! Heh heh.
Actually, what vxnick wanted makes a ton of sense. It has been just within the past two or three years that I've been using regular expressions, and I'm far from being a guru with them. But I decided to rely on them to make the plugin less complicated and brittle. The first pass I made at it was not regexp dependent and it was a nightmare. Once I had the "Aha!" moment of being able to handle just about everything with regexps, the code became considerably simpler.
Anyway, I just pushed a change that adds support for a "binary" rule type which works by taking whatever you supply and making a shebang regexp for you. So you can now do this:
{"binary": "ruby"}
instead of
{"first_line": "^#\\!(?:.+)ruby"}
I haven't tested this extensively, but this should allow one to catch any variation of a base binary, such as ruby18, ruby19, php, php4, php5, etc.
Regarding the proliferation of plugins, I can see both sides. It is very frustrating when multiple plugins do essentially the same thing, but at the same time, I wouldn't want to see people not try to solve a problem in a slightly different way. One thing I've learned over the years is we don't all think the same way (this is true for most, if not all, areas of life, not just plugin development ), so one person's neato solution to a problem isn't going to ring bells with everyone. Besides, choice is good.
I don't want to stir this debate up again, but I figured since I got pulled into it , I might as well toss in a penny or two while I'm here. Oh, and I wholeheartedly agree that the difference of opinion was handled very well.
Cheers and peace to all!
P.S. And just for posterity, the "first_line" rule type is a consolidation of what originally was "first_line" and "shebang". In my earliest attempts at this plugin, I was trying to handle shebangs separately from things like the first line of an XML file. When I decided to handle everything with regular expressions, I didn't think "shebang" was generic enough to reasonably apply to all situations. shrug I don't really like "first_line", but it works.

HARTSVILLE, S.C. – The Coker men's tennis team dropped their second Conference Carolinas match of the week, as they fell to Erskine College 8-1. The loss drops the Cobras record to 1-8 on the year and 1-8 in conference play.
To start the match the Cobras lost in straight sets in doubles play, with the closest match coming at No.1 doubles, as Evan Schreiner (Seneca, S.C.) and Rick Vliegen (Landgraaf, Holland) lost 8-5.
In singles play, it was Vliegen who picked up Coker's lone victory of the day. He won at No. 3 singles 7-6, 7-5, to keep the Flying Fleet from sweeping the Cobras.
Coker returns to the hard court on Sunday, as they host another Conference Carolinas rival, Queens University of Charlotte. Both the men's and women's teams will begin their matches at 12:30 p.m. on the Coker Tennis Courts.

May Express
Top HeadlinesDate: February 15, 2007
Contact: email@example.com
Website: http://www.andrews.edu/academics/mayexpress/
Phone: 269-471-3249
May 7, 2007, the Monday after graduation, marks the beginning of May Express, a new educational course at Andrews University, burgeoning the school's already-expanding summer programs. May Express is the brainchild of Donald May, assistant dean for the College of Arts and Sciences and general education director.
"We believe in our general education program and our approach to it," May explains. "But it would be better if we can make it available at a convenient time and a great price."
May Express is a 3-4 week intensive itinerary of selected courses, ending before summer camps start to ensure a job and classes for busy students. May notes that the program is targeted for double majors, students needing additional assistance and those needing credits for graduation.
Students may take up to four credits, at half price per credit. They must register by April 25, and each class must enroll a minimum of ten students. Future offerings will depend on this year's success, anticipated by students and faculty alike.
"The May Express initiative demonstrates great potential for increasing enrollment growth in the summer programs, one of the goals I would like to see achieved over the next year," states Provost Heather Knight. "I am delighted at any opportunity that allows our University to expand its academic horizons and offer alternatives for students needing extra time to complete general education courses."

|The Register of Known Spam Operations (ROKSO) database collates information and evidence on known professional spam operations that have been terminated by a minimum of 3 Internet Service Providers for spam offenses.
About ROKSO
ROKSO Listing Policy
TOP 10 ROKSO Spammers
100 Known Spam Operations responsible for 80% of your spam.
80% of spam received by Internet users in North America and Europe can be traced via aliases, addresses, redirects, locations of servers, domains and dns setups, to a hard-core group of around 100 known spam operations, almost all of whom are listed in the ROKSO database.
Each spam operation, or "spam gang", consists on average of between 1 to 5 spammers (giving an etimated total of 300-400 spammers).
The majority of the spammers on the ROKSO List operate illegally and move from network to network and country to country seeking out Internet Service Providers with poor security or known for not enforcing of anti-spam policies.
Many of these spam operations pretend to operate 'offshore'. Those who don't hide behind anonymity pretend to be small 'ISPs' themselves, claiming to their providers that the spam is being sent not by them but by non-existent 'customers'. When caught, almost all use the age old tactic of lying to each ISP long enough to buy a few days or weeks more of spamming and when terminated simply move on to the next ISP already set up and waiting.
Those on the ROKSO List are the professional spammers you definitely do NOT want on your network.
ROKSO is a "3 Strikes" register. To be placed on the ROKSO list a spammer must first be terminated by a minimum of 3 ISPs for AUP violations. Once listed in ROKSO, IP addresses under the control of ROKSO-listed spammers are automatically and preemptively listed in the Spamhaus Block List (SBL).
For qualified Law Enforcement Agencies Spamhaus provides a special version of this ROKSO database which gives access to records with evidence, logs and information on illegal activities of many of these gangs, too sensitive to publish here.

North Dakota legislature and governor take orders from far right groups and zealots and make the state look foolish.
When my ancestors fled England to save their ears, they thought they had escaped bodily harm and acheived freedom. My husband has an ancestor who was beheaded in Zurich over baptism and his decendents fled to Germany, Holland, and finally to Pennsylvania. I had amazing teachers who taught that the US constitution established separation of church and state. I believed it. Boy, was I wrong!
I've been reading The Religious Right: Greatest Threat to Democracy by Alexander. Everyone should read it. It links all the self-righteous groups and individuals and shows that Hillary was correct when she said "There is a vast right wing conspiracy."
The conspiracy involves those who wish to destroy public schools and censor books, privatize all government services---including social security and national parks, and control morals and behavior--especially of women. It involves the same men who have been involved in many sex scandals including abuse of boys, using the services of prostitutes, and having numerous affairs. And some of these guys hold elected offices, and make huge fortunes runnning mega-churches, or preaching passionately on radio or TV, while soliciting donations---remember Jimmy Swaggart and his gold plated faucets?
This week,The ND legislature has passed five laws to restrict abortion in various and devious ways, and now Governor Dalrymple has signed them, even against the advice of doctors, colleges, and those most affected---women, Dalrymple signed these measures. Now, women, I hope you all got the message that you are too stupid to make decisions about your own body and future. Some of these zealots do not care about babies, but they sure like the camera.
When the news of these laws broke, a Bishop, in full white regalia, wearing his miter and holding his crozier pronounced how wonderful these laws are! Is that separation of church and state? He has a right to his opinion, and control of his own body. Women do too.
In case you, like me, believed our forefathers wanted government free of "religious" interference and religion free of government interference, the Bishop made it very clear that the two institutions are NOT separate.
I have the solution: If you don't believe in abortion, don't have one! Leave other people to their own decisions. Even a bishop doesn't know everything. Some of the most fevered zealots have no connection to the women who will be required to give birth. Have they considered the costs to society of teen pregnancy or of a life-time of care for a damaged fetus?
This I know: Not everyone who wears a cross is a Christian. Not everylaw maker is wise. As kids used to say, "MInd your own beeswax!"

News Release
Texas Firm Recalls Chicken and Pork Tamale Products Due to Misbranding and Undeclared Allergens
Congressional and Public Affairs
Neil Gaffney
(202) 720-9113
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31, 2013 - Isabella Foods, an El Paso, Texas establishment, is recalling approximately 685 pounds of tamale products because of misbranding and undeclared allergens. The products contain wheat or soy, known allergens which are not declared on the label.
The following products are subject to recall: [View Label]
- 36-oz. packages containing 12 "Isabella Foods of El Paso Green Chicken Tamales" and bearing the establishment number "P-13389" inside the USDA mark of inspection.
- 36-oz. packages containing 12 "Isabella Foods of El Paso Red Pork Tamales" and bearing the establishment number "EST. 1960" inside the USDA mark of inspection.
The products were produced through Jan. 18, 2013 and distributed and sold to institutions and retail stores in the El Paso, Texas area.
The problem was discovered by FSIS in-plant personnel during a routine label review. An FSIS inspector determined that soy was a subcomponent of the textured vegetable protein ingredient in the green chicken tamale product but not declared on the label. During the same review, FSIS also found that wheat was a subcomponent of the masa flour ingredient in the red pork tamale product but not declared on the label. FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and to ensure that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers.
Consumers and members of the media with questions about the recall should contact the company's Owner, Nielson Guerra, at (915) 590-1899.
Consumers with food safety questions can "Ask Karen," the FSIS virtual representative available 24 hours a day at AskKaren.gov or via smartphone at m.askkaren.gov. "Ask Karen" live chat services are available Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET. The toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854) is available in English and Spanish and can be reached from l0 a.m. to 4 p.m. (Eastern Time) Monday through Friday. Recorded food safety messages are available 24 hours a day.
|USDA Recall Classifications
|Class I
|This is a health hazard situation where there is a reasonable probability that the use of the product will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death.
|Class II
|This is a health hazard situation where there is a remote probability of adverse health consequences from the use of the product.
|Class III
|This is a situation where the use of the product will not cause adverse health consequences.

Hall-of-Fame Voice
Charley Steiner '71, shown holding a photo from his college years, was one of the 2013 Radio Hall of Fame inductees honored November 9 in Chicago.
Additional images
By Matt Hawkins
November 11, 2013
Los Angeles Dodgers radio broadcaster Charley Steiner '71 received radio's top honor November 9 as he was inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame. The honor, with Bradley representatives in the audience, placed Steiner in elite company with the profession's greatest voices.
"This place is amazing, and I'm not sure I belong here!" Steiner told the audience.
Steiner shared his journey from Long Island to the Midwest, ESPN, New York and finally Los Angles. That journey included several years as a student worker for Peoria radio station WIRL.
His lifelong dream of broadcasting the Dodgers began as a child listening to Vin Scully on a radio in his mother's kitchen. Steiner began to chase that dream at Bradley, then from coast-to-coast, with a notable 14 years at ESPN.
Then, a call the fall of 2004 made that dream a reality.
"It was in that small kitchen where I got a phone call from the guy who unknowingly sent me on this career path," Steiner said. "It was the legendary Vin Scully. Vin said 'Charley, I just want to welcome you to the Dodger family.' We should all have a moment like that, if just once in our lives."
Bradley sports communication major Lee Pikelny '14, who represented Bradley students at the event, took Steiner's words as inspiration for his own future.
"It gives me a lot of hope to see how he started," Pikelny said. "It was a lot about being in the right place at the right time from those early years announcing wherever he could. It's great to hear that story. I can see myself doing what he did."
In addition to the inspiration from the famous Bradley alum, Pikelny rubbed shoulders with stars like Reba McEntire and Larry King.
"I was thinking about how many celebrities were there while watching it unfold. That was just amazing," Pikelny said. "It was really touching to watch it all happen. I was so honored to be selected to be there."

BANGALORE, India, May 13 (UPI) -- A Request for Proposal for the purchase of 56 tactical transport aircraft has been issued by the Indian air force.
The RFP includes a provision for the majority of the aircraft to be produced in India.
The Deccan Herald reports the provision opens the door to major Indian companies to become involved in the manufacture of the aircraft since Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. is the only Indian aircraft manufacturer at present.
Receiving the RFP were Italy's Alenia Aermacchi, which is offering its C-27J Spartan aircraft, Ilyushin of Russia, Lockheed Martin of the United States, Brazil's Embraer, EADS CASA, which is a part of Airbus of France.
The report said the first 16 aircraft produced by the winner of the contract would be delivered in fly-away condition, while the remainder would be manufactured in India.
Indigenous components in the Indian-manufactured aircraft would begin and 30 percent and grow to 60 percent.

WASHINGTON – Gaps in how the military conducts background checks enabled the shooter in Monday's deadly Washington Navy Yard rampage to obtain a high-level security clearance and gain access to protected installations despite a history of disciplinary problems in the Navy and run-ins with police.
Still unclear Tuesday was where the problems occurred that allowed the alleged shooter, 34-year-old former Navy reservist Aaron Alexis, to slip through a supposedly thorough examination of his conduct, some of which was easily found by simple Internet searches.
In the wake of the Navy Yard assault that left 13 people dead, including Alexis, President Obama on Tuesday ordered a sweeping review of all federal agencies' practices for allowing access to civilian employees and contractors who work for the government.
Alexis' employer at the Navy Yard, a federal subcontractor based in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., called The Experts, said the Defense Department had confirmed his "Secret" security clearance twice in the last year, even though he'd been arrested three times between 2004 and 2010, twice for suspicious gun firings.
"The latest background check and security clearance information were in late June of 2013 and revealed no issues other than one minor traffic violation," The Experts said in a statement.
But police records show that Alexis was arrested in 2004 after he shot out the tires of a car near his Seattle home; arrested in 2008 on disorderly conduct charges in DeKalb County outside Atlanta; and arrested in 2010 in Fort Worth, Texas, after his gun was fired into his ceiling and through a neighbor's floor. He wasn't prosecuted in any incident.
FBI spokesman Steve Fischer said the National Crime Information Center's database, even with 75 million arrest records, is incomplete because it relies on voluntary reports from 18,000 local police departments across the country.
It was unclear whether Alexis' arrests were in that database, which former FBI director J. Edgar Hoover launched in 1967.
"The security investigation in this case doesn't seem adequate," said Michael Barrett, owner of Diligent Innovations, a federal security contractor based in Arlington, Va.
Barrett said most security clearance checks don't focus on past encounters with law enforcement, but instead on potentially embarrassing chapters in people's pasts.
"The existence of security checks is primarily about making sure that people don't have skeletons in their closets, because we were concerned about people being susceptible to blackmail," Barrett said.
The Pentagon faces a backlog of five to six months on background checks, which places pressure on the outside firms that conduct most of them to finish their work quickly.
"These guys are pressured on getting the information, so some shortcuts could have been taken" in Alexis' background probe, a federal contractor and former military officer with a "Top Secret" security clearance told McClatchy.
In a lengthy statement released Tuesday evening, a Defense Department official said Alexis received his "Secret" clearance — which is lower than "Top Secret," but higher than "Confidential" — in March 2008, when he was serving as a Navy reservist in Fort Worth.
The security clearance was good for 10 years, or through March 2018, the Pentagon said, and Alexis carried it with him when he left the Navy in 2011 and later when he went to work for The Experts as a computer technician at the Navy Shipyard.
A Navy official said Alexis received an honorable discharge in 2011 after four years of reservist duty despite a number of disciplinary problems.
"There were a series of military conduct offenses," the official said. "I can't give you a number on them, but they ranged from unauthorized absence from work to insubordination to disorderly conduct. None of them rose to the level of court martial, but they were things that were handled in the conduct system by his chain of command."
Once he was working at the sprawling Navy Yard, Alexis carried an access card provided by a private firm that Pentagon investigators criticized Tuesday for running a weak Navy-wide security program with poor background checks.
The Defense Department's inspector general said the Oregon-based firm, Eid Passport, developed a system called RAPIDGate that gave 52 convicted felons "routine, unauthorized installation access, placing military personnel, dependents, civilians and installations at an increased security risk."
Sen. Claire McCaskill, a Missouri Democrat who chairs a key Senate subcommittee on federal contractors, demanded answers in a letter Tuesday to Navy Secretary Ray Mabus
"Yesterday's tragic and senseless violence highlights the importance of complete, thorough background investigations of the contractors and subcontractors granted access to Navy installations," McCaskill wrote.

A driver has been charged in a Friday night wreck on N.C. 24 near Swansboro that occurred when he pulled off the shoulder of the highway into traffic.
A driver has been charged in a Friday night wreck on N.C. 24 near Swansboro that occurred when he pulled off the shoulder of the highway into traffic.
Robert J. Parker, 35, of Beaufort, was cited with an unsafe movement violation in connection with the 6:50 p.m. wreck west of Swansboro-Belgrade Road, according to Trooper L. Alvarada.
Parker was traveling east on N.C. 24 in a 1995 Honda Civic and had pulled onto the shoulder of the road to fix a flat tire. After fixing the flat tire, he was attempting to merge back onto the highway when he pulled in front of oncoming traffic.
Michael Bryan of Hubert was traveling on N.C. 24 in a 2003 GMC pickup truck when Parker pulled out in front of him.
�He didn�t have time to put on his brakes,� Alvarada said.
Bryan was traveling at the 55 mph speed limit when the truck hit the rear of the car. The collision caused both vehicles to overturn, the Highway Patrol said.
Lt. Bryan Maready of the Swansboro Fire Department said after the wreck that before emergency services personnel arrived, people at the scene pulled Parker and a passenger from the car.
Alvarada said that Parker and the male passenger, whose name was not available, were transported to Onslow Memorial Hospital but injuries were not life-threatening.
Bryan was examined by emergency medical service personnel at the scene but refused transport to the hospital.
Alvarada said everyone was wearing their seat belt.

Pirates steal late winner
Tom Eaves fired a late winner to give Bristol Rovers a much-needed 3-2 home win over a Chesterfield side still awaiting their first league victory under new boss Paul Cook.
Rovers took a fifth-minute lead when Eaves made space for himself on the left side of the penalty area and his low cross was turned in at the far post by Chesterfield's Sam Togwell for an own goal.
Mark Randall claimed the visitors' 20th-minute equaliser as his innocuous free-kick from the left touchline was carried over his own line by Rovers goalkeeper Neil Etheridge under no pressure as he stretched to gather.
Joe Anyinsah slid in to fire Rovers back in front from another Eaves cross after 59 minutes, only for Spireites substitute Brennan Dickenson to find the top corner with a bullet shot from the corner of the box to make it 2-2 soon after.
Both sides hit the woodwork in the second half, but it was left for Eaves to have the crucial say when his 20-yard shot was deflected home in the 80th minute, piling further misery on Cook in what was his third league match in charge of Chesterfield.

I was filled with excitement as I walked up to the Fleishman-Hillard offices in Atlanta, Georgia, a small stepping-stone from my hometown, New York City. As one of the top public relations firms in the world, I knew that I absolutely could not miss out on an opportunity like this and so I found myself flying down south the night before the internship. As I walked the two blocks from my hotel to the office center, I was shocked by the eighty-four weather-a temperature this New Yorker hadn't experienced since summer! I entered the building and was immediately redeemed with cold air-conditioning, "the mark of a true southern building" I was told by fellow intern Matthew Shackelford '15. Matthew and I met almost simultaneously at the front desk where we greeted by a friendly secretary and then our host, McCall Butler.
McCall Butler '97, an alum of Princeton and later Dartmouth, was the perfect mentor for us. She connected with Matthew on her connection to Atlanta, where she was born and raised, and to me based on her experience working in New York City. We spent just over an hour talking with her about her background and then her work with her main client AT&T. McCall had a very interesting history, having started in government consulting right of college, and then working at America's Promise, a non-profit in DC, before going to business school. She then attended The Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth where she met her future professor, mentor and employer Paul Argenti. Argenti, an expert in corporate communications, has written many books about the field of communications, most notably Corporate Communication (fifth edition, Irwin/McGraw-Hill, 2009) and Digital Strategies for Corporate Communications (McGraw-Hill, 2009). McCall had a chance to work with Argenti and Fleishman President and Senior Partner Peter Verrengia during her time at Dartmouth and then went on to work at Fleishman-Hillard. She has worked at Fleishman for seven and a half years, working for six years with AT&T. She currently holds the position of Senior Vice President and Partner and works with her team on mergers, quarterly earnings, the AT&T proxy statement, support for the annual meeting and the annual report.
McCall then explained to us how we were going to structure our day:
9-10:15 – Introdution with McCall
10:15-10:30 – Short coffee break
10:30-11:30 – Meeting with Michael Ares & Tammy Gonzalez
11:30-12 – Break and time to ask McCall more questions
12-1:30 – Conference Call with AT&T Team including Larry Solomon
1:30-2:30 – Lunch 2:30-3- Conference Call with Larry Solomon
3-3:30 – Meeting with Chad Corley
3:30-4 – Discussion with Chad Corley, Matthew Browher and Andrew Groom
4-5 – Conference Call with AT&T Team
In our first meeting, Senior Vice President Michael Ares explained his work with a global manufacturing company. He summarized his role in saying that he essentially helps "pull in the resources to get what they need." Given that I have interest in international public relations, I found what he had to say about his clients' global markets in Brazil, North American and Europe very interesting. Tammy Gonzalez worked mainly with a manufacturer of industrial cleaning products and told us about how she was drawn into the field of Investor Relations. She also gave us two articles, one published in USA Today about a global pharmaceutical company and another in the Wall Street Journal about the new energy efforts by a governmental agency . She explained how PR companies often pitch the essential message of articles to newspapers in order to promote their clients. Matthew and I were surprised to learn how many newspapers get their stories in this way and thus how much public relations has an effect on world perceptions and the modern consumer.
The conference call with the AT&T team was a very informative phone call and Matthew and I were even able to participate in a very small way. Matthew and I were asked about what sorts of social media networks we use including Pinterest and Instagram and so we were able to see the importance of knowledge of popular culture and social media in the PR world.
For lunch, McCall took us out to a Mexican restaurant where I was able to have my first southern sweet tea-delicious! We talked more about AT&T and its message and McCall's experience at Princeton. We learned that she is a very active alum and will be celebrating her 15th reunion this year. She told us about her experience as an art history major and also that she was president of her eating club, Cloister, which I am also a member of. It was very exciting to get to make a connection to McCall on a personal level and I loved my quesadilla.
McCall's next phone call was short and discussed much of what we had talked about before but in more detail. Next we met with Chad Corley. Chad gave us more of a sense of what Fleishman-Hillard does since McCall works more with AT&T. Chad explained about Fleishman's practice groups and the details of his sector: the consumer group. His group mainly works on how to encourage consumers to use a certain product whether via social media or other means. He talked about his work in business-to business PR versus business-to-consumer PR as well. Then Matthew Browher and Andrew Groom entered the room and we discussed their role in Digital Media and more about how social media has affected PR. Besides getting to know McCall, this was probably my favorite part of the day as it gave a really comprehensive understanding of PR and how it has changed global markets.
McCall's last phone call included more work with AT&T and by that point, Matthew and I felt very involved in the process. Afterwards we took some pictures at the office and wrapped up with McCall. It was all in all, a really awarding experience and a fantastic trip. Matthew and I were really able to see how different sectors of public relations work and what techniques each group uses. We could not have asked for a better host in McCall and she gave me a deeper appreciation of what it means to be a tiger. Not only do I hope to be in this field one day, but I also aspire to be just as involved as a Princeton alum as she is.

Brits pine for old and analogue tech
Vinyl, CD and VHS all still popular
Blu-ray and MP3 may be conquering the world, but vinyl, CD and VHS still hold a special place in the hearts of UK adults, according to survey into so-called graveyard-bound technology.
A survey of just over 2000 people by Moneysupermarket.com discovered that the three aging media formats would each be a top 'resurrection' choice for most Blighty adults, should they have a chance to revive a technology that's either been consigned to the dustbin or that's on its way there.
Surprisingly, the humble telegram fell into fifth place – perhaps because some people like the idea of waiting several days for a message to arrive, instead of the near-instant delivery that email offers.
Cassettes were also popular and claimed seventh place - although one manufacturer has already cottoned onto our love of reel-to-reel and mix tapes by launching the MP3 Cassette. Digital cameras may not to be to everyone's taste either, with the 35mm camera making its presence felt in the survey.
Rob Barnes, head of broadband and mobiles at Moneysupermarket.com, said that although people are "embracing the digital age," there are clearly still some technologies and storage formats revered from yesteryear.
The horizon is always plentiful with new technologies though, so in decades to come people may look back and wish they could resurrect everything from the iPod to the digital camera and SD card.

Historic Comps Signify Wabash-DePauw Effortby Steve Charles • January 16, 2012 Share:
Zach Lowry's 10-minute conversation in Japanese last Thursday with DePauw University Associate Professor Hiroko Chiba during his senior oral comprehensive exam marked an historic moment for Wabash—the first time a member of the DePauw faculty has participated in a Wabash senior's oral comps.
But Lowry himself has become a catalyst in the College's efforts to provide the learning opportunities that students desire, inspiring two rivals in athletics to team up in the classroom to make that pursuit possible.
And, in a way, Lowry's is the story of how one student's determination to study Japanese paved the way to a $750,000 grant and the College's new Asian Studies program.
Last Thursday, the senior math major met with Wabash Assistant Professor of Mathematics Doug Limmer, Associate Professor of Spanish Dan Rogers, and Chiba for his one-hour "oral comps"—literally a rite of passage, as Wabash seniors are required to pass both written and oral comps to graduate. The three-person panel includes a professor from the student's major and another from his minor or area of concentration. Because Lowry's area of concentration is Japanese Studies and Wabash does not teach Japanese, Professor Chiba—who has taught Lowry in classes at DePauw through a special arrangement between the schools—was asked to join the panel.
"I truly appreciated the invitation," Chiba said. "Since DePauw does not have oral comprehensive exams at the institutional level, it was my first time to participate in one."
"It was fantastic," said Rogers, who worked with Lowry for the past two-and-one-half years to arrange his Japanese Studies area of concentration. "This is a paradigm shift: If we want Wabash students to have all the opportunities that they need in a changing and globalizing world and at the same time not go bankrupt trying to help them, we've got to find creative ways to meet student needs, and some of those ways are going to require us to be flexible."
Rogers explained that in his freshman year, Lowry told Wabash Associate Professor of Modern Languages Gilberto Gomez, a former director of the GLCA Japan Study Program at Waseda University, that he was interested in taking Japanese. Gomez met with Rogers, chair of modern languages, whose counterpart at DePauw, Robert Hershberger, is both a friend and colleague.
"By that time DePauw and Wabash had been collaborating off and on for several years on the Ecuador Program," Rogers said. "So we hatched this idea to see if our respective deans would let students from either institution take classes in languages the other school didn't offer. To his great credit, [Wabash Dean of the College] Gary Phillips, and his counterpart at DePauw, agreed, and we've been doing this for four years now.
"Zach started taking elementary Japanese at DePauw when he was a sophomore," Chiba explained. "The class met four times a week, and he didn't miss class, except when he had engagements for his tennis team. It was wonderful to have a committed student from Wabash and I admired his determination and solid work.
"Zach got along well with DePauw students, as well."
"He also studied abroad in Japan," Rogers added. "And he is preparing a capstone project in Japanese Studies that he'll present later in the semester.
"Last semester we realized that, Zach would need to take an oral comprehensive exam which included his Japanese studies. We were going to need his Japanese professor at DePauw to come up and do the area of concentration portion, so we got that set up with approval from the deans."
All this might seem much energy expended for one or two students, but Lowry's academic journey is having benefits for many more. Last year, Wabash and DePauw announced a $750,000 grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation that established the College's new Asian Studies program. Rogers said the collaboration required to meet Lowry's needs was a factor in the schools' securing the grant.
"Wabash and DePauw were able to sell Mellon on this idea because we were able to demonstrate a history of collaboration for the benefit of students," Rogers said. "So Zach's work—and his being a good, hard-working and diligent student—helped pave the way for the Mellon Grant.
"Student need is the catalyst, then faculty and administrators on both sides being flexible and creative to find ways to meet those needs, working together to help students."
Which brings us back to Thursday, and Lowry's oral comps.
"Yesterday was a culmination of all these things," said Rogers, who had briefed Professor Chiba on the format of the College's oral comprehensive exams. Rogers said she spent 10 minutes conversing with Lowry in Japanese.
"So you have this great moment when a student who is relatively shy gets to show his math professor and myself that he can carry on a high-level conversation in the Japanese language, a subject we don't teach."
Like most Wabash seniors, Lowry was reluctant to speculate on how well he had done on his oral comps. But Rogers said Chiba was impressed by the grammar and content of the conversation, and Lowry, a bright but quiet student, seems to have found not only an academic subject; he's found a way of life that appeals to him.
"Zach's going back to Japan, wants to live and work there," Rogers said. "Different cultures have different ways of being, and Zach may have found a culture that is consonant with his own personality.
"We found a way for this student to blossom and to bring back the Japanese language and studies courses into the Wabash context. It was an incredibly satisfying moment."

Terry Teachout lives in New York City, but spends a chunk of every year in Connecticut, as he told the Advocate during a recent phone interview from Washington DC, where Teachout was doing press for his new book and preparing to review some of the fall theater season.
"My wife and I spend part of our time in a little place in Storrs, out in the woods somewhere. I love it out there," says Teachout.
The author is active on Twitter, and his followers can keep up on his coming and goings and his many writing projects, whether they be reviews, plays, operas or books. When asked how he maintains such an intense and productive schedule, Teachout says it's just his nature.
"My life has always been like this," says Teachout. "I was good at multi-tasking before the word existed. I seem to have a knack for putting aside what I was doing 10 minutes ago."
That ability seems to be what allowed him to jump into the Ellington bio, back in 2009 before his last book had even come out. While driving in the car with his wife and listening to some Ellington.
"It really was like somebody had hit me on the head. I thought 'Duke!'" He pulled over and called his agent to pitch the idea. It's not as if he'd set out on a course of tackling the giants of jazz, he says.
"There isn't any other jazz musician I would have wanted to do."
But Duke Ellington was perhaps ready for another bio. New information, new scholarship, and new technology meant it was good timing.
"It's a matter of course that the lives of great men need to be re-written every 20 years or so," says Teachout. "He is one of the half dozen greatest figures in American music."
Digging in to the subject, with "a bigger shovel," Teachout came up with some good finds, particularly about Ellington's relationship with women.
"There's a lot of new material, but it's not like I had unique access to any of it," he says. "There was source material that nobody else had consulted."
The hunt for the truth, whatever that was, guided Teachout. With regard to a subject like Ellington, someone who concealed more than he revealed perhaps, a certain resolve was required.
"I believe very strongly that the responsibility for tact ends at the edge of the grave," says Teachout in reference to any concerns of unearthing unseemly details about such a beloved figure.
"If the subject was a great man, and Ellington was a great man without question, he won't be diminished by telling the truth," says Teachout.
The personal details aren't played up for tabloid appeal. "It's not salacious," he says. "It's just honest."
When asked if he came to like Ellington the man after writing the book, Teachout answers by contrasting Duke Ellington with Louis Armstrong, the subject of his last book before this one.
"Of course I like Armstrong more," he says. "He was a more likeable person."
In part that's because Ellington worked to "conceal himself."
"The better you get to know Armstrong, the closer you grow to him, because he was knowable as a person. Ellington is a very different kind of personality."
I wondered what questions Teachout might have liked to have asked Ellington, had he gotten the chance, and the notion of Ellington's masks colored his response.
"I'd know better than to think he'd answer," he says. "He was not a man who told you anything he didn't want you to hear."
Teachout says he'd like to know more about Ellington's relationships with certain women, about his feelings for people like Billy Strayhorn and Ellington's son Mercer.
"I know perfectly well that I wouldn't get anywhere," says Teachout. "I don't have any illusions about that. You can only see him through the eyes of the people who knew him."
