FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – A day after what was arguably the worst performance since his rookie year, the Jets benched quarterback Mark Sanchez in favor of a quarterback who has thrown just seven passes in his professional career.
Monday night's 14-10 loss at the Titans might be the low water mark for a season of lows from Sanchez. In all, Sanchez was 13-for-28 for 131 yards with one touchdown and four interceptions, the first time since 2009 that he's been picked off four times. His passer rating of 32.6 was the second lowest in a season where he failed to complete 50 percent of his passes in seven out of 14 games.
On Tuesday in a conference call with the New York media, Jets head coach Rex Ryan was asked what he found (if anything) to like from Sanchez's Monday night performance. Ryan gave a glancing kudo to Sanchez then went in an entirely different direction. The dodging answer is a sign that Ryan's propping up of his fourth year quarterback is no longer tenable.
"Obviously, he did make a couple of nice plays. We were able to move the football as a football team. I like the way we ran the ball (and are) playing defense. The thing I'm really proud about with this defense is that I think in the last 11 turnovers we've had offensively, I don't believe anybody has scored a single point off of those turnovers. That will tell you about the kind of pride and how resilient our defense has been playing," Ryan said. "I think they've been doing an outstanding job and a lot of that credit goes to [defensive coordinator] Mike Pettine and his coaching staff as well as the players. I'm happy with that."
"Obviously, with the turnovers, regardless of how we were moving the football, those turnovers killed us. (They) obviously kept us out of scoring position several times."
Therein lies the rub for Sanchez that when Ryan, his staunchest public advocate, can only say "he did make a couple of nice plays"that something is amiss.
Both head coach and the team's former starting quarterback are forever linked. It was in 2009 when Ryan in his first draft with the Jets packaged picks and players to move up in the first round and draft Sanchez No. 5 overall. And it was Sanchez who ran the play action and handed the ball off in the Jets "Ground & Pound" offense that was a game shy of the Super Bowl in both 2009 and 2010.
But now, Ryan had to name a starter for this Sunday's game and the name he went with wasn't Sanchez.
"Well, I think anytime you do that it's not easy," Ryan said."That's for sure. In dealing with it, I told Mark that I think we need to make a change and he respected my decision, but that's not easy, that's for sure."

Former probation commissioner John O'Brien and codefendant to be tried together
One trial in lottery job case, judge says; codefendants will be at odds, lawyer says
A Suffolk Superior Court judge has refused to order separate trials for former state probation commissioner John J. O'Brien and his codefendant, ex-Treasury aide Scott S. Campbell — even though lawyers for the men argue a single trial will pit the two against each other.
"The blatant finger pointing by the defendants will deprive O'Brien of his right to a fair trial and contravene the best interests of justice,'' wrote O'Brien's lawyers, Paul Flavin and Brendan Pitts.
O'Brien is accused of organizing a 2005 fund-raiser for former treasurer Timothy P. Cahill to help his wife, Laurie, get a job at the state lottery. Campbell, who was Cahill's chief of staff, is accused of conspiring to hire Laurie O'Brien and violating campaign finance laws. Cahill was not charged in this case.
Lawyers for O'Brien and Campbell said their clients will each argue that they did not know there was a connection between the fund-raiser and the job offer for Laurie O'Brien. But if such an arrangement existed, the other defendant was responsible, the lawyers will argue.
"If Campbell is forced to trial with O'Brien he is likely to face, in effect, two prosecutors — the assistant attorney general and O'Brien's counsel — both of whom will seek to pin the blame on Campbell for allegedly connecting Laurie O'Brien's employment with John O'Brien's participation in the fund-raiser,'' wrote Campbell's lawyers Charles Rankin and James Sultan.
Judge Judith Fabricant said she may reconsider her ruling, which she issued Dec. 20, if the lawyers give her more information about the evidence to be offered at the trial, which is scheduled to begin April 2.
Earlier this month, Campbell and Cahill were tried in a separate case, also brought by Attorney General Martha Coakley, who alleged they used lottery ads to bolster Cahill's 2010 gubernatorial campaign. Campbell was acquitted, and the jury could not reach a verdict on the charges against Cahill.
O'Brien, 55, who resigned in late 2010 after an independent counsel found he had committed "pervasive fraud'' in hiring and promotion practices during his 10 years running the probation department, is also facing federal racketeering, fraud, and conspiracy charges along with two top aides.
Federal prosecutors allege the three masterminded a sham hiring scheme that appeared legitimate but funneled jobs to friends, relatives, and favored politicians.
A federal grand jury sitting in Worcester continued to hear testimony in the probation case for several months after O'Brien was indicted in March.
Even though the two men will be tried together in the state case on several counts, there could be more than one trial. Campbell is facing three additional charges — unrelated to the Cahill fund-raiser — and those charges must be tried separately.
Campbell, 41, a longtime Cahill loyalist, is also charged with campaign violations during Cahill's failed independent gubernatorial campaign.
Campbell, who was Cahill's campaign manager, allegedly gave $500 in cash to three friends or relatives and asked them to write checks in the same amount for Cahill's campaign.
The scheme, prosecutors allege, allowed donors to exceed the state's $500 limit.
In addition, there could be a second trial for Campbell and O'Brien on conspiracy charges — which the judge ruled must be tried separately from the other offenses.
Expected to be key witnesses at trial are two former probation officials who have been granted immunity: Edward Ryan and Francis Wall.
Ryan, an aide to O'Brien and longtime friend of Cahill and Campbell, is expected to testify that in May 2005, O'Brien asked him whether there were any suitable jobs for his wife at the lottery.
Ryan agreed to call Campbell, who contacted the human resources director on Laurie O'Brien's behalf. According to Ryan, Campbell reported back that there might be job opportunities for her and that Cahill "was looking for a fund-raiser.'' He wondered if O'Brien would want to be involved.
O'Brien, according to Ryan, said that holding a fund-raiser would be "no problem.''
He then directed Ryan and Wall, who was a deputy commissioner, to work on it. O'Brien told Wall that his wife was getting a job at the lottery and he wanted to show his support and appreciation with a large turnout of probation personnel.
Ryan and Wall organized the party, which raised more than $11,000 for Cahill.
Laurie O'Brien began working at the lottery on Sept. 26, 2005.

WEEDS — With highs, lows, baseball's here
As I write, Opening Day for the Twins at Target Field is days away. The forecast is for sunny, a light breeze, and a high of 83. In Tucson. Minnesota? A scoach cooler.
Regardless, baseball is here. For the next six months, Twins fans will be in a tiny bit better mood after a win and a touch grumpier after a loss. Don't worry, it's not football. Football fans ride giant waves of agony and ecstasy. Baseball fans would keel over by June if we took it that hard.
The Twins and my consciousness arrived in Minnesota about the same time. This is the 52nd year of our relationship. During that time the Twins have won 4,138 games and lost 4,147. That's virtually even. It's probably about the same for me; I win some, I lose some. The Twins and I have had good years, so-so years, and a few we'd rather forget.
Here are my bona fides as a Twins fan. I was standing outside of St. Mary's School when Sandy Koufax struck out Bob Allison to end the 1965 World Series. I was a fourth grader listening on a transistor radio. To my amazement, the sun came up the next day.
I was on a ladder painting a shop ceiling in September 1984 when a surprising Twins team fell out of first place after Ron Davis gave up a home run to Jamie Quirk. It was the only at-bat Quirk ever had for the Cleveland Indians. If that ladder were higher, I might not be here today.
I was at Meyer's Bar after softball in July 1992 when the unmemorable Eric Fox homered off Rick Aguilera, again dropping the Twins out of first place. In that exact moment, the Twins excellent run that included two World Series ended. Years wandering in the desert would commence.
Oh, it hasn't been all bad. Like I said, the record is almost exactly fifty-fifty. I was in Milwaukee in August, 1987 when Kirby went six for six and had ten hits over two games. I was at the Dome for Game 163 in 2009 when the Twins beat Detroit in 12 heart-wrenching innings.
In between the highs and lows, thousands of games I don't remember were on the radio while I went about my life. In the car, in the tractor, in the kitchen, Twins' seasons have played out. A lot of times the game is on the radio, and I don't even know the score. In 1998 when it appeared that the Twins would move to North Carolina, I tried to imagine not having a team and a season and the radio on. I couldn't.
All in all, the Twins have been a good team to follow. Imagine being a Yankee fan. Your team wins and wins and wins. If sports are a metaphor for life, that's got to be someone else's life. What the heck would I do with all that unfettered joy? Opposite that, imagine being a Cubs fan where whole generations pass between winners. The Twins have been a Little Red Riding Hood-team: not too good, not too bad, just about right.
Not to brag, but I did predict that the Twins would win the World Series in 1987 and 1991. That is less impressive when I admit that I have predicted that for 52 years in a row. And, by the way, I am predicting the Twins will win the World Series this year.
You can make a case that following a pro sports team is a complete waste of time. Does it make me healthier or wealthier? Not in the least. Does it make me a better husband or farmer? Nope. Is there any logic in caring about a group of mercenary athletes with "Minnesota" stitched on their jerseys? No. OK, can we get back to baseball now?
Something struck me a while ago when I was thinking about baseball instead of whatever I was supposed to be thinking about. The Twins best seasons have evolved around groups of talented players that arrived about every twenty years. That is the length of a generation to sociologists, a nice coincidence.
The Twins landed in Minnesota in 1961. The team came from Washington, D.C., where they had been "First in war, first in peace, and last in the American League." They brought with them a core of young players whose names became legend in the upper Midwest: Killebrew, Allison, Battey, Kaat. With later additions of Oliva and Carew, the Twins were one of the best teams in baseball for a decade.
In the early Eighties, Hrbek, Gaetti, Viola and Puckett came on the scene. They paid their dues with losing seasons. That made it all the more enjoyable to watch as they climbed to the top to collect two World Series trophies.
In 2000, the Twins had their eighth losing season post-Eric Fox. The few fans that weren't showing up to get a bobble head noticed there were seeds of hope: Mientkiewicz, Koskie in the infield; Hunter, Jones in the outfield; Radke, Santana on the mound. Better seasons followed. They were such likeable players that they ended up on the cover of ESPN The Magazine where they were labeled "The Team that Saved Baseball."
By that pattern, the next wave of significant talent should arrive in 2020. But, hey, I'm 57. We aren't getting any younger around here. If the baseball gods want to accelerate things, that would be fine with this fan. Maybe Aaron Hicks, Miguel Sano, and Byron Buxton can usher in the next winning era while I'm still young enough to get around the bases.

Also, check out my Text Shortcuts extension. It does the same thing as this extension by default, but you can change the shortcuts yourself.
I love this extension, however I cannot figure out how to create an ess-tset in the German alphabet, as is shown in the example. If anyone could tell me the key combination for that, I'd be much appreciative.
Awesome! I frequently write text in three languages which use several diacritic signs each and it takes time to achieve proficiency in using various keyboard set-ups (without changing the actual keyboard). Now it's all so easy! Anyway, I'd add some more combinations, like ąę (comma), źśćń (apostrophe), ż (dot) and ł (slash).

News for Foodies 07.14.11
Taste of Two Forks
Saturday will bring a convocation of foodies to the Dan's Taste of Two Forks event at Sayre Park in Bridgehampton. Sponsored by Dan's Papers, the tasting, a benefit for East End food pantries, will feature items from wineries and restaurants on the North and South Forks. Celebrity hosts include Mark Feuerstein of "Royal Pains" and Alex McCord of "The Real Housewives of New York City," as well as Marcus Samuelsson, a chef, and Rosanna Scotto as master of ceremonies. Also on hand will be Sarabeth Levine, the co-founder of Sarabeth's Preserves and Baked Goods, and Silvia Lehrer, a food writer whose new cookbook is "Savoring the Hamptons: Discovering the Food and Wine of Long Island's East End."
Among the participating local restaurants are Almond, 1770 House, Babette's, Beacon, Estia's Little Kitchen, Fresno, Rugosa, and Nick and Toni's.
V.I.P. tickets cost $225, with admission at 6:30 p.m., while those with general admission tickets, which cost $150, will be admitted at 7:30. More information is online at danstasteoftwoforks.com.
New Food Truck
The newest beach food option is being served from a vintage 1967 Airstream Globetrotter trailer at the dirt lot at Ditch Plain Beach in Montauk.
Zachary Lynd's mobile culinary business, Turf Lobster Rolls, offers lobster rolls, or lobster salad without the roll, and, to finish off the meal, a seasonal fruit cup or a slice of homemade Key lime tart. Ingredients come from local farmers and fishermen.
Laying plans for his new business, Mr. Lynd had responded to East Hampton Town's solicitation for bids on food truck locations — in his case the traditional parking spot of the Ditch Witch truck at Ditch's East Deck parking lot. However, after Ditch Witch fans raised a fuss and town officials ready to award him the bid did an about-face, he has gotten his summer under way at his own spot nearby. Lobster lunches are available daily from 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.
News of Rugosa
Rugosa restaurant in East Hampton has adjusted its hours for the summer and is now serving from 5:30 to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday. On Sunday, service begins at 4 p.m. Prix fixe menu options are available between 5:30 and 6:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and on Sunday from 4 to 6:30 p.m.
New on the menu at Rugosa is seared Atlantic halibut, served with calamari, mussels, cannelloni beans, and braised celery, with saffron jus.
Little Red
Little/Red, a petit sibling to Red/Bar Brasserie in Southampton, has opened near Agawam Park in Southampton Village. The newest venture by David Loewenberg and Kirk Basnight features New American cuisine by Bob Abrams, local wines and beers as well as European selections, and a vintage bistro-style interior. It is open nightly, except Mondays, at 5:30.
Signature entrees include a grilled cheese sandwich with brie, slow-roasted duck, braised cabbage, and Dijon mustard, beer-battered fish and chips, and steak frites. Takeout meals, perhaps for dining lakeside at the park, are available.
Back to BBQ
Turtle Crossing in East Hampton, which unveiled an "American bistro" menu this year, is bringing back some of its Southwestern specialties, by popular demand. Quesadillas and smoked barbecue chicken, pork, and brisket sandwiches, along with barbecued meat platters, will be available again, as will the ability to add a barbecued rib on the side, to any dish, for $3.
Newer choices, reflecting a lighter tasting and sharing menu, will remain available, including a beet salad with greens, walnuts, and Point Reyes blue cheese, white bean chicken chili dip with corn chips, and fish of the day.
Summer Takeout
A summer takeout menu from Art of Eating Catering includes a large selection of appetizers, sides, main dishes, and desserts, along with condiments and beverages, created by Cheryl Stair, the executive chef. Orders must be placed with the Amagansett company 48 hours in advance of when they are to be picked up.
A Certain Celebration
The Harbor Grill in East Hampton will celebrate National Corn Fritters Day on Saturday with a two-for-one deal on its signature corn fritters from 4 to 6 p.m. at the bar. In addition, diners who order an entree from the Grill and Beyond section of the menu that night will receive a free order of corn fritters.
Raw Bar and Beer
At South Edison restaurant in Montauk, an extended happy hour each day from 2 to 5:30 p.m. features specials on Blue Point brews and Blue Point oysters, which will be $1 each at the raw bar. On weekends, there will be live music as well.

Exiting Nirvana: A Daughter's Life With Autism
"Exiting Nirvana" is a mother's account of her autistic daughter, Jessy, and Jessy's life from her teens until the time the book was was published, when Jessy was in her early 40s. The way the chapters of the book are presented is different from the norm. Instead of starting with Jessy's teens and moving forward, showing her progress that way, the author divides the chapters into aspects of Jessy's behavior and life: i.e., the way Jessy talks and the way...

# rcctl disable pf
and reboot your system to have it take effect.
You can also manually activate and deactivate PF by using the pfctl(8) program:
# pfctl -e # pfctl -d
to enable and disable, respectively. Note that this just enables or disables PF, it doesn't actually load a ruleset. The ruleset must be loaded separately, either before or after PF is enabled.
PF reads its configuration rules from /etc/pf.conf at boot time, as loaded by the rc scripts. Note that while /etc/pf.conf is the default and is loaded by the system rc scripts, it is just a text file loaded and interpreted by pfctl(8) and inserted into pf(4). For some applications, other rulesets may be loaded from other files after boot. As with any well designed Unix application, PF offers great flexibility.
The pf.conf file has multiple parts:
Blank lines are ignored, and lines beginning with # are treated as comments.
# pfctl -f /etc/pf.conf Load the pf.conf file # pfctl -nf /etc/pf.conf Parse the file, but don't load it # pfctl -sr Show the current ruleset # pfctl -ss Show the current state table # pfctl -si Show filter stats and counters # pfctl -sa Show EVERYTHING it can show
For a complete list of commands, please see the pfctl(8) man page.

The GSM/GPRS Shield for Arduino allows your Arduino board to send SMS messages via the GSM network to any other GSM device around the world. It also allows you to establish a wireless GSM/GPRS connection to the Internet to receive or transmit data (data plan required from your mobile phone provider).
The GPRS shield is fully compatible with the Arduino Diecimila, Duemilanove, Uno and Mega boards.
This board requires that you have an activated GSM SIM card from a mobile phone provider that has a GSM network (in USA those are AT&T and T-Mobile). The GPRS standard supports data transmissions with baud rates up to 9600 Baud over the GSM network.
The GSM/GPRS Shield includes the HiLo SAGEM GSM/GPRS communication module. This module has a U.FL antenna connection. You will need to add an antenna in order to use this board. We offer a compatible antenna.
The USB ports on some computers are not able to provide enough current for the module to work reliably. If your module goes down when it tries to connect to the network, use an external power supply (9-12V - 1A) for your Arduino board. If you use a power supply with output smaller than 2A, you should add an extra capacitor for the power, e.g. a 220 uF electrolytic capacitor between 5V and GND.

Dog Eared
Books we love
A Worldly Tour of the Oxford English Dictionary
Late last year, there was some controversy in the media over a new book by Sarah Ogilvie about the Oxford English Dictionary's historical coverage of foreign words. The controversy turned out to be a tempest in a teapot, overshadowing the worthy book behind it. Here, Mark Peters has an appreciation of Ogilvie's Words of the World.
The Oxford English Dictionary is an extremely England-focused book, right? It always has been, especially under original editor James Murray, who was a total Anglophile. A breakthrough occurred when Robert Burchfield took the editorial reins, opening up the OED to Englishes around the world, making it truly international. The end.
In the lexicographical world, those beliefs are commonly held and unquestioned. However, those prevailing views, like so many, are a bunch of bunk, as Sarah Ogilvie so persuasively demonstrates in her new book Words of the World: A Global History of the Oxford English Dictionary. Ogilvie argues that Murray was extremely welcoming to words from around the world, while Burchfield was nowhere near the trailblazer he claimed to be. Along the way, Ogilvie gives an insider's look at the OED that is rich in detail and enjoyable for reasons that go far beyond its central argument.
Full disclosure: I am an OED-aholic: a condition sadly neglected by the DSM-5. The online updates to the OED are marked on my calendar. I use the OED for every article I write. If I had a time machine, I would travel back to before Ammon Shea wrote his book Reading the OED: One Man, One Year, 21,730 Pages and steal the idea. I value my dog and maybe three friends more than the OED. OK, maybe that's an exaggeration. Just my dog.
I assume most readers here share my addiction, and if I'm right about that, you will love this book, which provides buckets of insights into the history of the OED as well as its day-to-day workings. I loved reading about the code of silence in the office, the tradition of drinking at the Old Bookbinder's Arms, and the sheer joy of being around other word-lusters. I felt wildly jealous when reading lines like these: "At the OED, I had found soulmates and fellow editors who shared my own passion for the words we worked on and were just as enthusiastic to share their discoveries as to hear mine."
Ogilvie's enthusiasm — and status as an Australian, who is currently Director of the Australian National Dictionary Centre — organically led to the existence of this book. It's a perfect match of author and subject. While making her argument about Murray and Burchfield in regards to Englishes of the world, Ogilvie makes many other important points along the way, especially how "...certain elements of lexicographic practice, which are intended to tell us about the words, actually tell us more about the attitudes of the lexicographers." The gap between what editors said and did is a huge part of this book.
In a book about the OED as a global dictionary, it's appropriate that the legions of readers from around the world who contribute citations are given their due. Chris Collier in particular is singled out as a lexicographical superhero, one Ogilvie encountered through her work in Australia and later learned was invaluable to the OED. Collier was a rabid collector of examples from Brisbane's Courier Mail, and he's responsible for over 100,000 examples in the OED. Throughout this book, Ogilvie brings unsung characters like Collier to life. In describing Collier's contributions, her deadpan sense of humor shines through: "Each bundle of slips was oddly wrapped in cornflake packets, with bits of dog hair (or so we hoped) stuck to them."
As always, your mileage will vary on how interesting any single bit of lexicographical minutiae is, and this book has minutiae out the wazoo. The close analysis of the Stanford Dictionary and the OED — done to confirm or disprove Murray's claims of plagiarism — was a bit of a skimmer for me. However, this was an exception, as Ogilvie's overarching argument and enjoyable writing style carried me through the book, happily. Equally happifying were the appendices, which are chock-full of colorful charts that illustrate and reinforce many details of the argument. In fact, whoever designed this book deserves kudos because it's extremely pleasing, and I'm not entirely sure why. Perhaps some combination of font and ratio of image to text is working a kind of unconscious design voodoo on me, which I guess is the whole idea.
This compelling, detail-rich book makes an argument and backs it up with evidence to spare. More than that, it provides a journey through time and citation slips that should fascinate even the most jaded dictionary-hugger. I liked this book so much, it makes me crave another. Has anyone done a Life at the OED sort of book lately? If not, I nominate Ogilvie, who is such a pleasure to read. She makes you feel like you've had a beer at the Old Bookbinder's Arms, and that's a beer I'd very much like to have.
For more on the pseudo-scandal that Ogilvie's book generated, see this article in the New York Times and this Times op/ed column by our own Ben Zimmer.

24 Kan. App. 2d 380
No. 78,8791
STATE OF KANSAS, Appellee, v. RUSSELL N. BIRD, Appellant.
1. A criminal sentence imposed is not tolled while detainers from other counties are being honored.
2. Under K.S.A. 21-4614, a defendant is to be given full credit for time served after imposition of sentence while awaiting trial upon other charges, regardless of the place of confinement.
Appeal from Kingman District Court; LARRY T. SOLOMON, judge. Opinion filed July 7, 1997. Reversed and remanded with directions.
Lisa Nathanson, assistant appellate defender, and Jessica R. Kunen, chief appellate defender, for appellant.
Laurel D. McClellan, county attorney, and Carla J. Stovall, attorney general, for appellee.
Before PIERRON, P.J., ROYSE and KNUDSON, JJ.
KNUDSON, J.: Russell N. Bird was sentenced by the Kingman County District Court to serve a controlling sentence of 1 year and 2 months in the county jail for various offenses. After Bird began serving the sentence, he was transported to the Haskell and Seward County jails for disposition of detainers. The issue on appeal is whether Bird should have been given credit on this sentence for the time he spent in the Haskell County jail (10 days) and in the Seward County jail (132 days). The district court refused to grant any credit. It is undisputed that Bird has fully served his sentence if the district court erred in its ruling. We reverse and remand with directions that Bird be released forthwith from custody because he has served the entire sentence.
We hold that a sentence imposed is not tolled while detainers from other counties are being honored.
The State contends that K.S.A. 21-4614 is applicable. We agree it is the key to reaching a proper decision, but it is not directly applicable to the Kingman County sentence. A proper construction of K.S.A. 21-4614 precludes Bird receiving credit for time spent in custody awaiting sentencing in either Haskell or Seward Counties because he was simultaneously serving his Kingman County sentence. See Campbell v. State, 223 Kan. 528, 575 P.2d 524 (1978). Conversely, a necessary corollary under the statute is that Bird is entitled to receive full credit upon his Kingman County sentence for time served after it was imposed, regardless of which sheriff thereafter had his physical custody. Any other construction would constitute a denial of Bird's 14th Amendment rights of due process and equal protection under the law.
Reversed and remanded with directions that Bird be released from custody forthwith.
1REPORTER'S NOTE: Previously filed as an unpublished opinion, the Supreme Court granted a motion to publish by an order dated September 26, 1997, pursuant to Rule 7.04 (1996 Kan. Ct. R. Annot 40).

Minnesota Abortions Continue Decline
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - The number of abortions in Minnesota continues to decline.
The state Health Department reported Tuesday the number of abortions in Minnesota fell again last year, dropping below 10,000 for the first time since at least 1975.
Abortions have now dropped in 11 of the past 12 years in the state. Minnesota clinics and hospitals performed 9,903 elective abortions last year, with 9,030 involving Minnesota women.
The report came a day after a U.S. Supreme Court decision allowing certain businesses to refrain from covering birth control for employees if they have religious objections. Some abortion advocates predict the reduction in abortions could be short-lived because of the ruling.
Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life, a group that opposes abortion, credits anti-abortion campaigns and legislation for the decline.

The REP, Point Park University's professional theatre company, will produce four works, including one world premiere and one Pittsburgh premiere, in the 2012 - 2013 season, which opens Sept. 7 and runs through April 7 at the Pittsburgh Playhouse. The season is as follows:
August: Osage County by Tracy LettsDirected by John Shepard, associate professor of theatreSept. 7–23, 2012 at the Rauh Theatre
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play, Tracy Letts' August: Osage County is a wild ride that tells the story of the Westons, a hysterical yet horrifically dysfunctional clan that comes together at the family's Oklahoma home when the patriarch disappears. Forced to confront unspoken truths and secrets, the family must also contend with Violet, a pill-popping, deeply unsettled woman at the center of this storm.
Rope by Patrick HamiltonDirected by Elmore James, guest directorSept. 28 – Oct. 14, 2012 at the Studio Theatre
For the mere sake of adventure, danger, and the "fun of the thing," Wyndham Brandon persuades his weak-minded friend, Charles Granillo, to assist him in the murder of a fellow undergraduate. They place the body in a wooden chest, invite a few acquaintances, and host a dinner party with the chest as the supper table. Horror and tension swell gradually; thunder grows outside, the guests leave, and we see the reactions of the two murderers to the strange, twisted series of events.
Becky's New Car (Pittsburgh Premier) by Steven DietzDirected by Kim Martin, head of stage management/production manager at the PlayhouseFeb. 1–17, 2013 at the Studio Theatre
Becky Foster is caught in middle age, middle management and in a middling marriage — with no prospects for change on the horizon. Then one night a socially inept and grief-struck millionaire stumbles into the car dealership where Becky works. Becky is offered nothing short of a new life … and the audience is offered a chance to ride shotgun in a way that most plays wouldn't dare. Becky's New Car is a thoroughly original comedy with serious overtones, a devious and delightful romp down the road not taken.
Antarktikos (World Premiere) by Andrea StolowitzDirected by Sheila McKenna, chair of the theatre department/assistant professor March 22 – April 7, 2013 at the Studio Theatre
Antarktikos is a mind-bending play about heroism, saying goodbye and moving forward. Somewhere between Oregon and Antarctica lie several points on a continuum: Susan, a writer at an artists residency at the South Pole; Captain Robert Falcon Scott, leader of the British Antarctic expedition of 1912; and Hilary, Susan's 21-year-old daughter. When an insomniac EMT named Alex becomes the hapless link among them, time collapses, geographies blend and destinies emerge.
Season subscriptions are available now ($64 - $72); single tickets go on sale Aug. 15 ($24 - $27). Additional information can be obtained by contacting the Pittsburgh Playhouse box office at 412-392-8000 or online www.pittsburghplayhouse.com.

No Croutons Required - The Winners for August and the Theme for September
The theme for August was to come up with a soup or salad with coconut as the star ingredient. Jacqueline mixed things up a bit this month and chose her two favorite recipes from this inspiring roundup. Short, but sweet, and very impressive creations from contributors.
Congratulations to Johanna of Green Gourmet Giraffe who came up with this stunning African Curried Coconut Soup. I am quite certain this will be on my menu soon. Such a perfect blend of ingredients.
Congratulations also to Stuart of Cakeyboi who presented us with a mouthwatering Coconut Fruit Salad with Chocolate Balsamic Dressing. Why not feature coconut for both dinner and dessert. Pure heaven.
I will be hosting the September edition of No Croutons Required. This month I am inviting readers to submit a vegan soup or salad. Though I am not a vegan but a vegetarian who enjoys dairy products, I often find it cleansing to go without animal products for days on end. The possibilities are endless and I am looking forward to your inspired contributions to this long running event. As you head into your kitchens, you might also want to consider your gluten-free friends. Guidelines for entering can be found here.

Sweet! This is one month I can easily participate although the hard part will be to decide which soup or salad to share. :) Can't wait to see the round-up!

Reality TV dad Jon Gosselin was spotted playing with his kids on father's day -- and wife Kate was notably absent.
Jon, the twins and the 6-year-old sextuplets were spotted playing with slip and slide toys and the family dogs in front of the garage on their sprawling 24-acre estate in Wernersville, Pa., on Sunday, according to Entertainment Tonight.
Mom Kate was not seen in the photos.
Not even Jon appeared to know the whereabouts of his wife.
"I have no idea," he said today, according to Usmagazine.com.
The two spent their 10th anniversary apart from one another and said they will announce a "life-changing decision" on the next episode of "Jon & Kate Plus 8" Monday night -- fueling speculation that the two are on a one-way trip to splitsville.
"Recently, we've made some life-changing decisions," Kate said in a video statement. "Ones that we hope will bring each of us some peace."
Tabloid headlines have been dominated by the couple's rumors of infidelity for months. Jon has been linked to a 23-year-old school teacher and reportedly ditched Kate on her birthday to spend time half-way across the country with his new gal pal.
Kate was accused of having a tryst with her bodyguard. Both have denied the rumors.
"Very swiftly we turned into two different people," Kate said during the show's premiere last month. "It's just hard."
Jon said he hasn't seen his gal pal as often as he used to, Usmagazine.com reported.
"Not as much with the events that went down," he said.
The father of eight who was photographed smoking last week also said he hides his habit from the children.
"I don't smoke in front of the kids," he said.

Is Hart Listening to Ford?
Alabama's resounding victory over Tennessee Saturday showed why the SEC will likely be playing for yet another national championship.
Tennessee's depressing performance showed that the decisions made in the coming weeks by Dave Hart and his advisors/financiers will determine when the next sellout of Neyland Stadium will be.
The early part of the 2012 season was an exhibition of the dominance of the Crimson Tide defense. Saturday's game against the Vols put the country on notice that they have an offense to be reckoned with.
Tide QB A.J. McCarron decimated the Tennessee secondary by throwing for over 300 yards for the first time in his career. Alabama QBs throwing over 300 yards are not the norm. The Tide normally dominates opponents with their rushing game. No worries — Alabama running backs ran for 233 yards, led by T.J. Yeldon's 129 yards and two TDs on only 15 carries.
Normal, and then some.
The Tide's first half was fueled by excellent field position made possible by a 32 yard punt return by Cyrus Jones (followed by a TD), an interception of a Tyler Bray pass by C. J. Mosley at the Vols' 32 yard line (followed by another TD), and a 23-yard punt return by Jones (followed by a TD).
Football basics: special teams and turnovers.
Alabama's second half featured four big plays (>20 yards): A 35 yard pass from McCarron to Kevin Norwood, a 42-yard TD pass from McCarron to Amari Cooper, a 39-yard TD pass from McCarron to Kenny Bell, and a 43-yard TD run by T.J. Yeldon.
The big play killing Tennessee's season continued like a viral infection that can't be treated with any available prescription.
And now for the Vols…
The Good
Defensive Front: For much of the evening, the big guys up front were able to go toe to toe with Bama's stout offensive front. For much of the game, they were the only part of the defense doing anything positive, and actually were carrying the entirety of the pride of the orange jersey as the offense looked anemic.
Michael Palardy: Five punts for a 48.2 yard average. Punts of 44, 49, 50, 56, and 42 yards. Two field goals from two attempts, and 1-for-1 for extra point attempts. The young Floridian appears to have finally reached the level everybody expected when he was recruited.
The Offensive Line and the Running Game: Damn good considering the opponent and the fact that Tennessee's top running back did not play due to injury.
Cordarrelle Patterson: Four kickoff returns for 111 yards — including one for 45 yards. He is the most exciting player on the field whenever he touches the ball. And that leads us to The Bad.
The Bad
Touches: Patterson got three touches on plays from scrimmage. THREE. One of the most effervescent players in the SEC, if not the nation, got THREE TOUCHES ON PLAYS FROM SCRIMMAGE. In the first half, Vol wide receivers had only one catch. The other catches were by tailbacks, the fullback, and the tight end.
Drops: Justin Hunter's dropped pass near the end of the first half was a momentum killer.
Turnovers: Two interceptions thrown by Tyler Bray keep the turnover margin going in the wrong direction for the season. In four SEC games this season so far, Bray as thrown more interceptions (8) than touchdowns (6).
The Ugly
Points Allowed: 37 points to Florida, 51 to Georgia, 41 to Mississippi State, and 44 to Alabama. This is not Tennessee Football you say? It is now. In fact, this is the third consecutive game that Tennessee has lost to Alabama by 31 points.
The Defensive Secondary: No improvement here. Instead, it is getting worse. In the second half after a big Bama gain down the left sideline, former Vol great Leonard Little sent this tweet:
What is the corner doing??? Smh.
Let's Wave the White Flag and Kick a Field Goal: Fourth and Goal at the Bama 3 yard line with 4 minutes left in the game, down 44-10. Game over. WHY WOULD YOU NOT TAKE A SHOT FOR A TOUCHDOWN???????
The Beatings Go On:Tennessee has been outscored by Bama 204-65 in the last six games of this great rivalry.
The issues that we all witnessed in the late part of the Florida game, parts of the Akron game, and much of the Georgia and Mississippi State games continued Saturday night. And they all raise the key question: Players? Or, coaches?
They go hand in hand.
Based on the pulse of the Vol Nation, the masses have had enough of the coaching staff. At this point, it doesn't matter that this season's 4 losses are to teams with a combined 27-1 record, with two of those teams ranked one and two in the BCS standings. It doesn't matter because people have just simply had enough, regardless of what William Shakespeare once wrote…
Expectation is the root of all heartache.
Although the lack of fan support is not to be dismissed, no one knows what Dave Hart is thinking or doing, even though as Wes Rucker tweeted Sunday morning,
We've officially reached that seemingly annual point of Tennessee's football season where everyone has sources and rumors.
As we head towards Saturday's game in Columbia, one can't help but be aware of the fact that the South Carolina game was the final straw for both the Majors and the Fulmer regimes in 1992 and 2008.
And perhaps Hart & Company will choose to follow a different bit of Shakespeare's advice as recited in Ford's soliloquy in The Merry Wives of Windsor…
Better three hours too soon than a minute too late.

Enabling *FULL* Joypad Navigation in Rom-Loader
Requirements: a joypad or joystick, Xorg desktop (1024x768 or more recommended)
You can use your joypad to browse, load (and play) your roms, by using the RejoystickCC tool with Rom-Loader.
1. Plug in your joypad before the desktop loads up.
2. Open 'Menu->Setup->Setup Puppy Arcade->RejoystickCC'
(or Quickstart->RejoystickCC)
3. Edit the Rom-Loader profile, using RejoystickCC:
- Select the 'romloader' profile and click 'Edit'
- Two windows will appear: Rejoystick (left) and a list of the Keyboard Controls for Rom-Loader (right)
- To the left is rejoystick, showing all the buttons and axes found for your joypad
- To the right is the Keyboard shortcuts that you need to map to your pad
4. How to map the Rom-Loader controls to your joypad:
- Press a button on your joypad to see where how it is listed and numbered in the rejoystick menu
- Click on the button you want to use and you'll be asked to choose a keyboard key for that button, so do it.
- To use key combinations such as Alt+Q (Quit), you must map 'Alt' and 'Q' to separate buttons (and press them both at once)
- When you have mapped all the listed keys to separate joypad buttons, click 'OK'
- RejoystickCC will then save the profile.
- Rom-Loader will automatically load all required Rejoystick profiles, you do not need to load them manually.
5. To enable exit (from emulators) back to Rom-Loader via joypad:
- Edit the RejoystickCC profiles of the emulators you wish to use through Rom-Loader:
- Important: You must map *AT LEAST* the 'Quit' keyboard shortcut of the chosen emulators to your joypad
- You need not setup every button in an emulators rejoystick profile, if it's already configured to use a joypad, only the Quit command listed.
- Open RejoystickCC and edit the 'snes' profile in RejoystickCC, and map the 'Q' key to button09 on your joypad.
- When you press button09 during play, Snes9x-GTK (the actual emulator) will quit (and return to Rom-Loader)
6. To complete full, working joypad navigation in Rom-Loader, you must also:
- Enable joypad controls in your emulators directly, or map all the in-game controls (the keys listed) to your pad
- If you map *only* the 'Quit' commands, you must setup your joypads using the emulators themselves, to play the roms.
- To do this, you can open the actual emulators and use their menus to edit your controls.
Loading the default emulators, to edit their settings:
- You can easily load the emulators themselves by using the 'Fontend-Chooser' and setting all options to 'Default'
- You can then load the emulators themselves through the desktop icons or the Puppy Menu
Hope this helps.

Thanks for this great distro! I want to report two problems that I've encountered:
1. I can't exit the fullscreen mode of the Genesis/MegaDrive Emulator, so I have to reset the computer!!!
2. I can't get my openGL driver to work with my ATI X1100, so N64 emulator won't work. Any suggestions?
Other than the above, Puppy Arcade is a fine distro, always useful for some retro gaming nostalgia!

You should probably read the docs on the emu first, but it actually shows you in the menu what key combo it uses. Alt+Return (Alt+Enter).
This release is great. I can already see speed improvement in much of the emulation. I'm not sure if this is do to the Linux kernel, Desktop, WM, or just the revision improvements of the apps themselves.
But all in all, it's looking like a solid improvement over PA9.
One side question I have is... I cant get the Playstation emulator (PCSX) to work with the X accelerated plugin. Does it not support MGA cards?

For OpenGL drivers (which is required for N64), you are strongly recommended to read the 'Help Guide' and choose the appropriate drivers.
(Actually, I recommend you read it, all of it, just to get to know about the emulators..)
Of course, I can't test all OpenGL packages, as I only have 1 gfx card, but it's always a bit of trial and error..
- The first thing you should try is the 'xorg_xorg_dri' package in the Puppy Package Manager, this works for most generic cards...
- If that doesn't work, then remove it and move on...
- If you have an Nvidia card, then use the links in the Help guide.
- If you have a Radeon, you should also find the right drivers through the help guide.
- There are also MESA packages available for other cards (intel, etc?)
I would REALLY appreciate it if users who get OpenGL working could post the following:
- the graphics card model and version
- the pet file used to get OpenGL working
- a quick description of the install process (if not simply install, restart X)
This info will be very helpful for other users..
(and for myself to make a OpenGL-Installer app...

Post subject: long live the playful puppy
Subject description: having linux side by side with windows is fun
Once again, you made my day. I am downloading it right now. I had much fun the last days configuring and tweaking PA9 and forgot all about the emulation side. Since yesterday i had also a hard time setting up a smba in PA9, in which i suceeded only partially. But again, after fresh PA10 install on a stick, i shall prevail.
There is a possibility to turn PA10 in a small smb-server with windows 7, right?
Is there a samba version you would prefer with your latest distro?
Thanks sc0ttman
I love my playful puppy

I'll have a look around, but I don't use SAMBA, and removed it from Puppy Arcade about a year ago (I think its still missing!)...
So you would need to add the full SAMBA package, with its libs as well, probably... Most of the newer samba apps and packages around are for Lupu, these will not work in Puppy Arcade...
But you should be able to get the original samba that came with puppy4, through the puppy4 repo at ibiblio... Which is here:

im one of those people who cant stand to have the settings changed. would be awesome if you could make it with a lockdown feature. so that once its running how you like, then you can remove any chance of inexperienced users accidentally changing things. that would make this a true cabinet OS.
btw this is seriously good stuff... i might use this as my cruch to quit smoking crack

I am not on puppy at the moment, I'm stuck on ubuntu at work...
But here's how to do it, from memory... (I think!!)
At shutdown, you should be asked whether or not to save to your save file, if you are using a usb install.. (PUPMODE 13, maybe?)
1. So, you must force puppy to think its on a 'usb' install by adding 'pmedia=usb' (or something similar) to the boot options, in either syslinux or grub..
3. Then, you can edit /etc/rc.d/rc.shutdown and find the line that says 'Save this session?' and make the answer always equal no (no=1, by the way)..
Then your session will never be saved, but your save file will still get loaded at bootup.

Post subject: Puppy Arcade 10 runs very slow
Hello all,
I had just set up Puppy Arcade 10 on a USB flash drive set to automatically boot on any machine. I have set it up to play Mame arcade games.
Now, while the booting part works great, the trouble I am having is that the games play slower than they should. I have SDLMame for comparison and it runs much faster there.
Would anyone know what would be the cause of the problem?
Thank You,

Transparent equipment
It would be great if all equipment, such as the engine, were transparent when crew members move near them in order to put them where you would like them when trying to repair confined areas without harming themselves.

Re: Transparent equipment
We've gone back and forth having them be transparent and I believe we ended up blocking tiles that are behind any piece of equipment instead. Ideally we'd re-create our room objects as tiles to improve the ease of movement and knowing where every crew is at.

Index page of Notecannons.
From approximately 1929 to 1945 the National Dobro Corporation made resonator (mechanically amplified) guitars, mandolins,ukuleles and other instruments, all based on the original work of John Dopyera. This site is intended to showcase some of their work and help identify particular styles of instruments.
Although the advent of electrically amplified instruments, which they also built, caused the eventual temporary demise of resophonic instruments, they are enjoying a major revival, and today are recognized as spectacular instruments in their own right.
