RunBalmoral has added a new event to this year's line-up in celebration of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. The annual running festival is set to take place over the weekend of April 28 and 29, with many of the traditional events now at capacity.
However there are still spaces available on the newly launched Diamond Jubilee Mile, which will take place on Sunday, April 29 and is open to all ages and abilities.
Competitors will receive a medal and commemorative Diamond Jubilee mug for taking part in the charity event, with £4 from every £5 entry fee going towards Gastrocan, the Grampian Gastro-oesophageal Cancer Research Fund.
The charity was chosen as the beneficiary of the race in memory of Pauline Bell, a keen runner who took part in RunBalmoral 2011 despite suffering from terminal cancer.
Pauline's husband, Jamie, said: "Pauline was a true inspiration to us all during her short illness. While we will always miss her, we also remember her determination, fighting qualities and sense of achievement shining through when she ran in last year's Balmoral 5k race.
"I am grateful to RunBalmoral for marking Pauline's memory by choosing Gastrocan as its nominated charity for this year's event."
Members of Mr Bell's family, along with pupils and parents from Crombie Primary School and other supporters of Gastrocan, are also participating in some of the other races at RunBalmoral.
Jamie will run in the 10k, with daughters Kirstin and Lauren running in the MPH 2.5k and 1.5k.
Dr Russell Petty, consultant oncologist at NHS Grampian/University of Aberdeen and founder of Gastrocan, said: "We are very grateful for the support from RunBalmoral, TAQA and Jamie and his family.
"Gastrocan provides vital support for our expanding research programme in NHS Grampian and the University of Aberdeen and means that patients in the region are able to benefit by taking part in clinical research, for example in trials of the latest breakthrough drugs for the disease."
Chris Dunridge, human resources manager at TAQA, is delighted the oil company is sponsoring the Diamond Jubilee Mile.
She said: "Supporting charities in our local area is very important to TAQA and the Diamond Jubilee Mile provides participants with a fantastic opportunity to enjoy the beautiful scenery at Balmoral while raising funds for Gastrocan. It's set to be a brilliant race - we'll have a big team from TAQA taking part and we hope lots of others will take part too."
The chair of RunBalmoral, James Knowles, added: "Over the years participants in RunBalmoral have raised thousands of pounds for a range of charities and I am delighted that we are able to commemorate the life of a keen runner like Pauline Bell by joining with TAQA to support a charity so close to her family's heart."

You've heard of a postal match, right? Well in 2012 it's the age of the "internet match." Last weekend junior air rifle athletes in Georgia shot a match against opponents over 4,000 miles away in Germany. Despite a six hour time difference, the two groups shot simultaneously at their respective ranges with monitors set up to keep track of each other's scores live.
Thanks to the instant communication made available through the internet, teams no longer need to wait weeks for scores to be reported. Granted, international teams don't always have the luxury of being able to shoot at the same time of year, let alone on the same day to the minute. But on occasions such as these the world becomes a little flatter as shooters so far away from one another were able to compete as if they were on the same firing line.
Home base for the US shooters was the Ole Mill Range, a USA Shooting Certified Training Center in Griffin, Georgia run in part by Roy McClain, father of NRA's former Manager of Air Gun & Muzzle Loading Competitions Jessi McClain.
On the other side of the pond, the German junior air rifle athletes shot at their club range in Untergrombach, in the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg in southern Germany.
The course of fire was a 60 shot standing match, but the format was a little different than the typical US match. Athletes were squadded in ranking order and faced off against the corresponding shooter on the other team – like the Ryder Cup in golf. Everyone still shot simultaneously and scores for each ten shot group were announced as they were brought in. Once the firing line went cold, scores were compared and teams received one point for each match-up they had won.
So how did the United States do? You'll have to check back next time to find out.
The Ole Mill Range is a great place for athletes in central Georgia to get a taste of competitive shooting – and even international competition in this case. Visit their website at www.OleMillRangeCTC.com or call Roy McClain at (678) 772-8185 for more information.

Electrical problem
2005 Kia Optima 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 42,000 miles
So I have a Kia 2005 Optima, is in great condition and drives well and everything works just fine. However this morning the lock on the driver side stopped working. Even when I press the lock button the door remains unlocked. Every other door locks and unlocks without any problems. But the driver seat seems to have some problem, the lock on the side of the door which is supposed to move when you lock the door does not seem to be responding. What is the problem? How can it be fixed?
have the same problem?

In character, shortened IC, is a roleplaying term. Whenever you are roleplaying, you are "in character", meaning you act as your character would in that situation. Behaving as you, the player, normally would is termed out of character, or OOC.
Out of character comments are frequently marked by the use of double parentheses or other punctuation.
- In character: Mina glares at Throg. "That's because I hate you."
- Out of character: Mina says: (( LOL ))

Pick your own 2009. Was it the year of deep recession, in which Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, died? A time in which a dark, satanic mill called The X Factor loomed large over British pop? Or was it a year in which a resurgent underground took the charts by the scruff of the neck?
The unlikely success story of the year – and, by extension, the decade just passing – is how grime went "Bonkers". Rewind to the early half of the noughties and this jittery UK variant of hip-hop was a niche genre blaring out of a few tower blocks in east London. Danger was a large part of its cachet.
Fast-forward to 2009, and MCs like Dizzee Rascal and Tinchy Stryder are at the top of the charts with unashamedly populist reworkings of their former sound (like Dizzee's hit "Bonkers" or Tinchy's soi-disant "Number 1"). In their slipstream were newer acts like N-Dubz and Chipmunk. Purists decried the sell-out but pop fans up and down the land embraced this domestic urban froth with a vengeance; the sight of Dizzee Rascal pogo-ing in a shark costume meant that UK hip-hop finally got its year in the sun. We await with interest the gross commercialisation of dubstep.
Elsewhere there were swings for every roundabout. In the absence of new guitar bands being signed, our heritage industry had a nice ride. In the year of the long-rumoured Blur reunion – one of the most successful of recent times – their arch-rivals Oasis finally imploded, allegedly in the wake of a fraternal bust-up of playground proportions.
Another classic reunion, that of the Specials, was marred by ongoing ill-feeling between its founder members, keeping Jerry "Freed Nelson Mandela" Dammers out of the tent.
The boys might have found it hard to get along but the girls just got on with it. Despite the loss of all three founder members, Sugababes remain extant, fulfilling a long-muttered prophesy of bands merging into brands. Thankfully, these fully pose-able sing-dolls weren't the only role models out there. La Roux's Elly Jackson (pictured right) brought all the best things about the 80s – androgyny, outrageous hair, roiling emotions trapped in synthetic ice – firmly into our times. The gloriously unhinged Florence Welch played the May Queen off in left field. Pottiest of all was Lady Gaga, who ended the year considerably less disposable than she started it, thanks to an exhibitionist streak that could arguably be called an art form. But the most famous singer on earth needed no outrageous get-ups. From nowhere (well, West Lothian) to superstardom in a few short hours, thanks to YouTube and Britain's Got Talent, a vulnerable Scottish woman, Susan Boyle, reminded us that pop is eternally full of surprises.

An extreme geek today was making a case for the return of BlackBerry. This is a guy who carries around a Samsung Galaxy Note as well as a BlackBerry Playbook and who has spent the last two decades as a programmer and Web developer.
BlackBerry's QNX operating system was supposed to be launched months ago but is now expected to be released January 30, 2013.
The award-winning QNX CAR Application Platform is running in 20 million vehicles, bridging telecommunications and informatics in apps such as GPS systems.
The QNX OS for smartphones is supposed to be amazing.
The new BlackBerry phones will supposedly allow you to digitally separate your professional life from your personal life, using two different platforms to create a real divide. It's also expected to move BlackBerry's famed BBM texting system into a video platform.
The question is, even if QNX can do all that's expected, can BlackBerry come back?
Would you ever buy another BlackBerry? Would you never buy another BlackBerry?

BACKGROUND Since 1998 Mandoforms (www.mandoforms.com) has provided a richly featured alternative to HTML Forms using XML (which was introduced earlier that same year) to store the e-form definition. Mandoforms provides a set of tools (the Mandoforms Developer Kit) to allow e-forms to be quickly developed by non-technical users and stored as XML documents. Our separate Enterprise Server converts this XML into the appropriate format for browsers running on a variety of platforms, meeting the W3C's WAI AAA accessibility rating where required. The Server also provides full support for multi-page e-forms, and the processing of submitted e-forms. ANNOUNCEMENT Now that the XForms standard is nearing completion we wish to lend our support by providing XForms capability within our product set. As such the Mandoforms Developer Kit can now be used to create XForms. Existing e-forms stored in our own XML format can also be converted into XForms where required.

It's been cold here in Los Angeles and I've been gravitating to soups and stews for their comforting warmth. Today, I wanted lentils or lentejas as we call them. I wanted something different though, not the Mexican style lentils I usually make. I wanted soup, but something rich and rib sticking that would pair well with crusty, warm bread.
I set my lentils to boil with a clove of garlic and a quartered small onion. While that boiled, I rummaged round the fridge to see what I had on hand. The Ziplock bags of sliced Honeybaked ham almost danced into my hands. Mmmmm. I was already imagining that smokey, pork flavor mixed with the lentils. I found tomatoes and some long green California chiles as well and pulled those out to dice them. Once my lentils were cooked, I fired up a heavy skillet, coated it liberally with some bacon fat and fried up my chiles and tomatoes. I also diced up one small Serrano pepper for some heat and fried that with the other chiles and tomatoes. Once the chiles and tomatoes were well caramelized, I added the diced ham and fried that till nicely browned. Then I scooped in the lentils and let them simmer into the mixture. I let it simmer covered for about a half hour and the result was a spicy, thick and delicious soup.
Gina's Spicy Lentil Soup
2 cups of dried lentils
2 cloves of garlic
one small onion, quartered
one tomato, diced
two California chiles, chopped
one Serrano chile, diced finely
one cup ham, roughly chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
In a heavy saucepan, bring the water to boil and add the lentils. I usually add two cups of water for every cup of lentils. Add the garlic cloves and the quartered onion. Simmer, covered for about 45 minutes or until the lentils are soft. You may have to add more water to prevent them from drying out. Lentils absorb an awful lot of water.
Chop your chiles, seed and de-vein them. Diced the tomatoes and set aside.
In a heavy greased skillet (I used bacon fat but you can substitute olive oil or anything you want), fry the chiles and tomatoes until carmelized. Add the chopped ham and fry till browned nicely.
Add the lentils to the chile and ham mixture and lower the heat. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Simmer, covered another 20 minutes so that the flavors blend well.
Serve with warm, toasty bread.

Emma Donoghue's disturbing tale of an imprisoned boy, Room, is at the forefront of the 147 titles competing for one of the world's most lucrative literary prizes, the €100,000 (£85,000) Impac Dublin literary award.
With novels nominated by libraries around the world, this year's award pits some of the biggest names in international fiction against each other, from the UK's Howard Jacobson, picked for his Booker-winning novel The Finkler Question, to American novelist Jennifer Egan and her Pulitzer-winning A Visit From the Goon Squad and Israeli author David Grossman's To the End of the Land.
Chilean-American novelist Isabel Allende, Germany's Bernhard Schlink and Norway's Per Petterson are also competing for this year's Impac, with a host of different genres also represented on the longlist, from South African author Lauren Beukes's Arthur C Clarke award-winning science fiction novel Zoo City to Suzanne Collins's dystopian young adult novel Mocking Jay, Justin Cronin's vampire blockbuster The Passage and Irish author Tana French's thriller Faithful Place.
Room, which is inspired by the Josef Fritzl case and told in the voice of a young boy, Jack, who has been imprisoned with his mother in a room for his whole life, received the most nominations from libraries, with 20 public libraries, from the Maldives to Chicago, backing it to take the prize. Librarians praised how "terror, hope, patience and devotion are stunningly twisted in an unforgettable story", and described Room as "a memorable, heart-wrenching story that manages to convey the power of love and hope, even under the most horrific circumstances".
Room is one of the most nominated titles in the 17 years since the Impac was launched, said organisers. Dublin city librarian Margaret Hayes said she was delighted that three Irish authors – Donoghue, French and Paul Murray, whose tragicomic novel Skippy Dies was also longlisted for the Booker – had been nominated by libraries for this year's prize. "Emma Donoghue's success in achieving 20 nominations from libraries worldwide demonstrates once again the international appeal of Irish writing," she said.
But at least one of the judges, the British novelist Tim Parks, is looking to find voices that are a little less familiar.
"When you look at a large number of books, you're hoping to pick up a book you've never heard of, which maybe you might not normally read, and find that's the book for you," said Parks. He's looking forward to getting stuck into the list, he added, partly because of its global nature, which matches the "sense, now, that a lot of writers are writing towards a more international space than a national space".
Parks is joined on the panel by the Irish author Mike McCormack, the Trinidadian writer Elizabeth Nunez, the Austrian poet and writer Evelyn Schlag and the Amsterdam-based writer Dubravka Ugresic. The judges will now select a shortlist, with the winner of the award to be announced on 13 June next year. Previous winners of the Impac include Nobel laureates Orhan Pamuk and Herta Müller, who took the prize in 1998, well before her Nobel win, and controversial French novelist Michel Houellebecq.

The short lead time for electronic publications can be fun at times. I added the comment about Novell buying WordPerfect to TidBITS #218 after a friend mentioned it during a phone call around 10:00 PM Monday night. I'd already queued the issue for distribution to the Internet, but after hearing the news, I deleted the queued files and modified the issue before re-queuing for Internet distribution and uploading to the commercial services.
The main piece of news that I missed in our last-minute rush was that Novell also purchased the Quattro Pro spreadsheet for Windows from Borland for $145 million. I guess when you spend $1.4 billion for WordPerfect, what's a couple of hundred million dollars to pick up a decent spreadsheet in the process? It seems that Borland hasn't been the same since swallowing rival Ashton-Tate several years back, and the company plans to post a loss for the year and to restructure after divesting itself of Quattro Pro. Makes you wonder if Borland itself isn't a target for acquisition from Novell or Lotus.
Obviously, neither Novell nor WordPerfect is primarily a Macintosh company, but with WordPerfect's strong showing with the most recent release of WordPerfect for the Macintosh, Mac folks do have some stake in what happens. In addition, it's foolhardy to ignore what happens in the PC industry, given the large number of cross-platform users and companies.
The acquisition makes Novell the second largest software company in the world, although its merged annual revenues of $1.9 billion are well below Microsoft's $3.75 billion. Lotus, which has more or less completely disappeared from the Macintosh market once again, brings up third with revenues of $1 billion. Ironically, in April of 1990, in TidBITS #001, we reported how Lotus and Novell planned to merge. That merger fell through several weeks later, and you have to wonder what Lotus is thinking now. Just for reference, the merger of Adobe and Aldus places that company, whatever it will be called, in fifth place.
As to why Novell decided to buy WordPerfect, I'm sure executives on both sides will issue the usual platitudes (I'd rather they issued platypuses, personally), but I suspect the real reason is simple - Microsoft. After acquiring WordPerfect and Quattro Pro, Novell suddenly has second-ranked word processor and the third-ranked spreadsheet in the Windows market to add to the DOS that it acquired from buying Digital Research some time back and its own Netware network operating system. Suddenly Novell's product line looks a significant amount more like Microsoft's.
I asked (rhetorically, of course) last issue if all these mergers were indeed good for the industry or, more importantly in my opinion, good for us users, and that question continues to nag me with news of additional alliances and mergers coming in all the time. However, the Software Publishers Association reports that the software industry is growing rapidly, not shrinking, and the association's president noted in Investor's Business Daily that "For every merger, there are five new companies coming into the industry." I would be curious to hear how the death rate of software companies has changed in recent times, since that affects the overall number of companies as well, particularly if these new companies cannot compete with the megaliths. I'd also be interested to see comparisons of how the overall market share is distributed these days, since I'll bet that all the money is starting to pool at the top among the Microsofts and Novells of the world. Perhaps a little trickle-down economics might be in order?
Just to give you an idea of what else is happening, here are a few bits I've pulled from various news stories. Microsoft and McCaw Cellular are planning a $9 billion wireless network using low earth orbit satellites to provide various voice, data, and video services. The project comes under a joint venture called the Teledesic Corporation, and is more than ten times the size of Motorola's competing Iridium project, which itself has been called overly complex and expensive. In case one wireless network isn't enough, Microsoft is working with the largest paging company in the U.S., Mobile Telecommunications Technologies, to create a $150 wireless paging network for bidirectional use with laptops, pagers, and personal communicators. Microsoft has also been talking in more general terms with AT&T (which is itself in the process of buying McCaw Cellular in a $12.6 billion stock swap), and although nothing has yet to emerge from those discussions, Microsoft reportedly wants AT&T's help in distributing various information services. AT&T has been especially busy, as it and Lotus just announced AT&T Network Notes, which is a public Notes server using Lotus's Notes workgroup software and a new low-cost client version of Notes for users to connect to the service.
In other words, everyone's in bed with everyone else, and I doubt that anyone has a decent idea of what's going to happen. I'm depressed that the trend is toward mergers of massive companies that come ever closer to violating anti-monopoly laws. I'd be more interested in seeing what could happen, as Robert X. Cringely suggests in his excellent book, "Accidental Empires," if the software industry worked more on the movie studio model, where independent firms develop software and a software studio markets and distributes it. Tech support could be handed off to a company that specialized in supporting users, and everyone could continue to do what they do best.
Think of a program as a movie, where the director picks the best talent and puts together a team to create just that movie. After it's done, everyone goes their own ways, having been paid a fixed amount, or in the case of the major players, anticipating additional payment in the form of royalties. Each product stands on its own, and if it's a flop, there's no sequel, just as in the movies, though I hope the sequels would be better than the typical movie sequel. Hints of this model have appeared in the software industry, mostly from game and multimedia companies, which come the closest to movie making anyway. But could it work with the big programs, the Words, the WordPerfects, the PageMakers?
In his InfoWorld column this week, Cringely compares the current situation not to the movie business, but to the car industry, noting that in 1920 there were 300 U.S. auto manufacturers, whereas now there are essentially three. That makes Microsoft General Motors, Novell Ford, and Lotus Chrysler. But such a comparison raises the question of who gets to be Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Mercedes, Volvo, or even Hyundai. It doesn't seem to me as though the American car industry is the healthiest model to emulate, given the powerful overseas competitors that appeared in the U.S. market after the consolidation of manufacturers. But even the software industry wanted to, could it switch models now that so much of the market is concentrated among so few companies? That is the $64 billion question.

Woman charged with DUI after Beach Road crash
Updated 11:03 am, Tuesday, January 15, 2013
Jennifer Rose, 22, of Clarion Place, Trumbull, was charged with driving under the influence and additional violations after police said she struck a utility pole on Beach Road Sunday night.
When officers arrived at the scene, Rose, who had apparently tried to drive away but could not because of damage to her car, was on the sidewalk, according to the report. She had an odor of alcohol on her breath, police said, and staggered when she walked. She failed field sobriety tests, police said.
Rose was charged with driving under the influence, failure to drive right, driving under suspension and having no insurance. She was released on a $100 bond and is scheduled to appear Jan. 22 in Bridgeport Superior Court.

The Fellowhood is an international trade association for businessmen. Entrepreneurship plays an important role in each of our lives. Members support each other's development and growth. We are well-rounded, highly capable individuals; we cherish a culture of excellence.
As a private and exclusive members-only group, membership applications are evaluated using criteria established by the membership. A probationary period determines the long-term suitability of a candidate.
We share our knowledge, provide resources to each other, and leverage each other's social networks. We pursue shared activities. We gather and discuss.
The world changes quickly. Everyone goes through ups and down. We value and promote authenticity. When shared, the good times are better. When shared, the bad times are better too. It can be difficult for entrepreneurs to find their tribe.
Business depends on good will and trust. We engage the world accordingly.

A custom website and/or app is likely. Possible features include member vetting, a place for members to share resources, a member directory, and tools to facilitate in-person meetings. Your suggestions and ideas are appreciated.
Precise membership criteria has not yet been determined. For the moment, provisional membership is open to all past and present members of The Brotherhood. A vetting process with a strong focus on personal relationships is envisioned.
There are no mandatory dues; none are planned. We all benefit from having a large number of high-quality members. Dues reduce our membership. Revenue models which preserve member value will be explored should it seem prudent. Members are responsible for their own expenses for all activities.
We are a member-driven organization. Members volunteer their time to vet membership applications, provide an appropriate on-boarding process for new members, and other necessary functions. A high degree transparency is demanded. We seek to avoid internal politics. While final say on the direction of the organization remains the responsibility of the founding individual, decisions are delegated to members where practical.
We have no official affiliation with each other. Many Fellowhood members first met through The Brotherhood. While the organizations are in some ways alike, each organization has it's own philosophies and leadership. We celebrate our respectful co-existence.

Irwin Mitchell's International Personal Injury team are concerned to learn that guests have suffered illness following stays at the ClubHotel Riu Bachata in the Dominican Republic.
Despite some positive reviews, holidaymakers have reported that they became horribly sick with diarrhoea, vomiting and constant stomach pain. They also noted that their rooms were not always cleaned properly and had a funny odour. Another guests stated that some of the food was unpleasant with very little choice. They added that their appeared to be very little consideration given to hygiene.
A holidaymaker reported that they went on holiday to this hotel with a party of 27 people; only four out of the 27 did not suffer from illness. The group experienced symptoms including severe cramping and diarrhoea. The guest also said that following their return to the UK, they were diagnosed with E coli.
Another visitor expressed that they also became ill with food poisoning from the poor hygiene standards at the hotel. Their illness resulted in them having to see a doctor and receiving an intravenous drip. The guest noted that the food handling was appalling.
If you also travelled to the ClubHotel Riu Bachata and have subsequently suffered from symptoms of illness, Irwin Mitchell, who specialise in dealing with cases of such nature, would like to hear from you.

LONDON, July 5 (Reuters) - German industrial conglomerate Siemens on Friday said it had pulled out of the bidding for Britain's multi-billion pound Crossrail project, opening the door for Bombardier to win the contract.
Siemens said it no longer had the capacity to deliver 600 carriages for the new line to connect east and west London.
"Crossrail is a very large project and, since first undertaking our initial assessment of capacity and deliverability, Siemens has won multiple additional orders," the company said in a statement.
"To pursue another project of this scale could impact our ability to deliver our current customer commitments - something we believe would not be a responsible course of action."
Siemens recently beat Bombardier to the $2.4 billion contract to build 1,140 new carriages for use on the Thameslink rail line that runs through London and connects Bedford with Brighton on the south coast of England.

Written by Lee Schneider
I laughed when they were played on Nixon. I was disgusted to learn they were played on Senator Mary L. Landrieu. I didn't laugh much when Sacha Baron Cohen used them in Borat. I'm talking about dirty tricks. In a citizen-journalist-famous-for-15-minutes way, dirty tricks are back. They've even been called a legitimate tool of "investigation." ("Honey, I was using this nanny cam to investigate the babysitter and it caught you with the pool boy. Care to comment?")
Quick review. When Richard Nixon made a speech one time in LA's Chinatown, a prankster named Dick Tuck arranged for adorable children to hold up signs saying "Welcome" in Chinese. Only the signs really said, "What About the Hughes Loan?", a reference to a controversial loan Howard Hughes made to Nixon's brother. Nixon was furious and reportedly tore up one of the signs. More recently, James O'Keefe III, a 25-year-old guerrilla videographer, has been accused along with three other men of seeking to tamper with the office phones of Democratic Senator Mary L. Landrieu. Apparently, the four impersonated repairmen to gain entry to the office of the Louisiana senator.
O'Keefe called his deception an "investigation." You might argue that impersonating repairmen was gonzo journalism, a courageous act of civil disobedience or a new way to dig for the truth. Digging for the truth – by lying about who you are. Give me a moment to think about that.
In this regard, I am not an angel. In Greece once, with one foot on the dock and another on a boat, I handed a police officer a dummy videotape so we could get the real one out of the country. When I worked for NBC and Fox I wore a wire a couple of times. I had people wearing hidden cameras for stories. When I wore a wire I made a point of saying that everything spoken was on the record. We conferred with network lawyers before we tried anything like that. We did those kinds of recordings in states where you didn't need the consent of the other party, so it was legal. We also didn't trespass where we didn't belong. We followed the rules, and listened to the network lawyers, but we knew if we screwed up it would be our asses in a sling, not theirs.
Rougher game now. Fuzzier boundaries. You have Borat and O'Keefe. As a documentary guy I noticed a big change after Borat. People were suspicious about interviews. Was I going to hoax them like Borat, punk them like Ashton or trick them like Colbert? These days, people want to screen an interview before it airs. I feel that old slippery slope under my feet: If I show them the interview they will talk about their hair or why they hadn't had that mole removed. Suddenly we're not talking about the story, we're talking about their performance. The interview becomes performance art.
Sacha Baron Cohen and James O'Keefe are all in the same entertainment game. In their brand of performance art you get to lie, impersonate people and wear funny outfits. I like entertainment, but if you're wearing a funny outfit, the only people who consent to an interview with you are other entertainers with their own funny outfits. A closed-loop system. Get ready for Borat to anchor CNN. Maybe he already is.

FWIW, I see no reason that disksort couldn't build something like the buffer chains that BSD/OS used to use to do FFS clustering without the awful pagemove() hack. Several people have proposed this, or its equivalent.

State Sen. Ed Murray is taking nothing for granted but was talking Tuesday night of the "Day One" challenges if he defeats Mayor Mike McGinn in November.
He is running ahead of McGinn in the first "dump" of primary returns from King County Elections, which showed the incumbent with only 27 percent of the vote.
The first challenge: Pick a successor to Seattle Police Chief John Diaz. The police chief is a mayor's most important appointment, with the success of a city government often hinging on how the two get along and work together.
"We need a new selection process. There has been something wrong with how we have done this recently," Murray said in an interview. "It will be a nationwide search. People from Seattle could apply. It would be my biggest priority, not from Day One but on Day One."
Murray said he will put together a transition team that would scope out performance in all city departments. He identified one place where he would make immediate changes — the Seattle Department of Transportation.
"It's not just the police department, our transportation department needs a whole different direction," he said. "We need to stop the battle and bickering over different modes (of transportation)."
Murray is still a state senator and still has to win another office to leave Olympia. He said, however, that one major legislative job will have his attention even as he seeks to become mayor of the Emerald City: It is working out a statewide transportation package, which stalled in June in a Senate run by a Republican-dominated coalition.
"I am continuing to have conversations with the governor and my colleagues across the aisle," Murray said. "The east side of King County needs decent bus service as much as Seattle. The east side has roads and infrastructure needs every bit as much as Seattle."
Republicans hold three state Senate seats from the east side. The fourth is held by Sen. Rodney Tom, D-Medina, who calls himself a Democrat but formed a coalition with Republicans that dominates the state Senate. These senators hold the key on such issues as whether Metro can ask voters for a sales tax increase to avoid a 17 percent cut in service.
"I have not stopped working it," Murray said. He indicated that a transportation package is still possible this year, but hinted it may top the Legislature's agenda in 2014.
The Murray campaign celebrated at a packed Crocodile Cafe in Belltown. The floor boasted more political consultants per square inch than any such venue in the recent history of Seattle. Joining Murray on stage was City Councilman Tim Burgess, who dropped out of the mayor's race and delivered a key endorsement to Murray.

The former goalkeeper rates Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart highly.
Former Arsenal star David Seaman has said that Manchester City shot-stopper Joe Hart is the best goalkeeper in the Premier League (see video above).
The England number one has started the season on fire, as he and his side kept a clean sheet in their first five games, with that being broken in the recent 2-1 loss to West Ham United in the Premier League.
It has been an impressive turnaround from Hart, who has often found himself out of the side under Manuel Pellegrini over the last two years, but has fought back to make himself the undisputed number one.
Seaman has said that he particularly likes how he makes saves look easy.
"Joe does it quietly and he's under pressure all the time," said the former England number one goalkeeper.
"They've got big games and I know Chelsea have as well, but I really like the way Joe goes about his game, he's not flash, he's passionate but he makes saves look easy. That's what I like to see, I don't like to see camera saves."
Is Joe Hart the best in the Premier League?
The debate about whether Hart is the best goalkeeper in the Premier League is a fierce one, especially given the number of quality goalkeepers in the division.
Alongside Hart, the likes of Thibaut Courtois, David de Gea, Hugo Lloris and even Petr Cech could all lay claim to being the Premier League's number one given their impressive performances over the years.
Based on performances this season alone, though, there is no denying Hart has started as the best so far, with his five clean sheets leaving him far above everyone else.
He will be hoping that it will be a similar situation come the end of the season as well.

text: My wife and I were on a motorcycle trip on the Blue Ridge Parkway a couple years ago. When we looked over the valley and saw this, we knew we were about to get a shower. As it turns out, we got soaked on and off for about 6 straight hours, before we said "To hell with this." and turned around. We were no longer having fun, and there seemed to be no end in sight. So we went home through Kentucky and stopped at Mammoth Caves National Park instead of going to Virginia via the BRP.

Well. Hello there. I'm Divaagar, an obese 18 year old, semi gay, mostly indian kid who has quite an ample head of hair. I'm currently based in sunny(dreadfully so) Singapore and run away from this country after completing national service and my education at LASALLE College of the Arts.
You could say I'm a bit of free spirit. I'm kind of lazy, selfish and can get pretty moody when I'm not doing what I want. I get pretty gosh darn sardonic sometimes, but I'm mostly a pretty upbeat person. Not too bright but I do have an eye for detail and a knack for remembering the most useless things.
As you can probably tell I love drawing. I don't hold a pen like other people, or chopsticks for that matter(fun fact woo). I mostly draw things I like in cartoonish fashions, but sometimes I make observational doodles whenever I feel like it. I've also been more recently influenced by manga and japanese illustration and so I've dabbled a little in that as well. Into a little photography as well, but I'm not too crazy about it.
And so yeah. This blog is my little notebook of tracking my progress as an artist. So. Take a gander and enjoy.

Over 600 energetic students shuffled up the mountain of red bleachers early Monday morning as patriotic music filled the gymnasium. Smiling faces peered into the crowd below seeking the looks of community members who were sitting in chairs on the gym floor. These members of the community were special invited guests of the students of Thornwilde Elementary, in Hebron. Each was a Veteran from a branch of the US Armed Services and they were present to be honored and thanked for their service. Most were relatives or family friends of a children nestled in the bleachers and their faces beamed with pride when they made eye contact.
The assembly began promptly with the signing of our National Anthem by the Thornwilde Chorus. The voices of the forty member chorus filled the air as they were guided by director, Tim Mitchell. Mr. Mitchell stated, "The students were very willing to go above and beyond the normal workload to prepare for this assembly. The closing song was learned by many of them in just one week's time. They were excited about the opportunity to perform for our local veterans."
The chorus then led the audience in the Pledge of Allegiance which introduced guest speaker, Travis Gerlach. Mr. Gerlach is a veteran of the US Army and has a daughter at Thornwilde. His speech reflected on his experiences throughout his tours of duty. His stories were inspiring and incorporated the importance of being a hard worker and staying determined. Students were able to relate to his stories and the emotions he expressed showed that the sacrifices of our veterans are genuine. A video which saluted our veterans was projected to the crowd and veterans stood and accepted a thunderous round of applause from the energetic students as their branch of service was honored on the screen.
Students were able to further acknowledge their guests of honor by presenting them with a rose to thank them for their service and for protecting the rights we are so thankful for today. Perhaps, the most heartfelt moment of the morning came as selected students from each grade level shared a piece of work that they created in the past weeks in preparation for Veteran's Day. Students presented and performed acrostic poems, quotes, and speeches of gratitude to the dozens of veterans seated before them.
Thornwilde Principal Pam Thamann, stated, "It is important for students to recognize that their ability to attend school every day and learn is a privilege. The men and women who serve or who have served our country protect our freedoms so that we can continue to learn each day at Thornwilde." Regarding what the students were able to take away from the assembly she continued, "I think our students really felt the importance of patriotism, respect, and honor. I think they also could see that many of them have classmates who have a family member in the service so it isn't just something on TV. It helps them to see that it's real people and real lives."
The closing song of "God Bless the U.S.A." by the Thornwilde Chorus ended the assembly on a note of appreciation and patriotism. Students now shuffled down the bleachers toward the Thornwilde Gym floor, many to the awaiting arms of their invited guests. One more chance to say "Thank You for you Service."

What makes your story worthy of being told?
Brought into the twenty-first century, Confessions of a Prodigal Son is a coming-of-age film centring on Sean and his journey to find independence and meaning for himself out in the world, and away from his father.
Sean's journey of figuring things out takes him to college, and to the dual temptations of rebellion and partying as he dives deeper into college life and the freedoms which come with it.
During his time away, his life becomes radically challenged as everything he knows he suddenly starts questioning it all.
What am I doing here?
Who am I?
Looking for more to life than partying, Sean is challenged by one of his professors who confronts his behaviour and asks him to take w holly new approach to how he sees his life.
To view it as if it were a story, and not a series of meaningless events that simply roll after one another.
It is then that, on this personal journey of meaning, that Sean finds Ali, a young woman also on a journey of discovery.
Together, along with Sean's friend Cameron whose own rebellion leads him dark places, the three encounter the perils of rebellion as well as the need for one's own journey to God to be exactly that. One's own journey.
A film of finding meaning, Confessions of a Prodigal Son is an engaging, humorous, and moving update of the iconic and timeless parable as well as a stirring tale of dangers of finding meaning in worldly vices.
Awarded Dove's 'Faith-friendly' seal, and starring Kevin Sorbo and Nathan Clarkson, the film is made for any teens wondering what it all means.

CEO alumnus advises on business success
Kayla Mullen | Monday, September 30, 2013
Bill Angrick, a Notre Dame graduate from the class of 1990, spoke as a part of the "Boardroom Insights" lecture series put on by the Mendoza College of Business.
Angrick is the CEO of Liquidity Services Inc., a multimillion dollar company that specializes in the buying and selling of excess materials between businesses.
The lecture walked the audience through the various stages of growth of Liquidity Services, while also offering valuable pieces of advice on how to build a thriving company.
Angrick said in the beginning, his goal was to "provide clients and buying customers the world's most transparent, innovative, and effective online marketplaces and integrated services for surplus assets … An eBay from business to business."
After raising capital from clients and venture capitalists, the company began to expand into buying and selling products from various sectors, Angrick said. He said he credits this growth to the "network effect."
"More supply leads to more relevant listings for buyers, which leads to more buyers. More buyers leads to more transactions, meaning better results for sellers, thus creating more sellers, which circles back to more supply," Angrick said.
He said the company received its first government contract in 2001- the US Military wanted to use the company to sell its own excess products. The company then went on to win the Defense Logistics Agency Award for Vendor Excellence four times.
Liquidity Services Inc. went public in 2006. From there, the company grew at an quickly, its gross revenue booming from $72 million in 2003 to $360 million in 2008, Angrick said. Beginning in 2009, the business moved into acquiring other companies, such as GovDeals and Network International, and taking their markets global. They also expanded into other sectors, which included electronics, consumer packaged goods, biopharmaceutical products, and machinery.
This year alone, the gross revenue of Liquidity Services Inc. was $1 billion and was on Forbes' list of Fastest Growing Tech Companies, Angrick said.
Angrick said to run a large company, one needs to have strong convictions of where one is taking the company.
He said that a key component to achievement is building great teams: cultivating top talent, bringing new employees into the mission of the company, making everyone feel a part of something, empowering employees to do their job, and making clear what the objective is, not how to achieve the objective.
Angrick said one also has to be bold and take risks, and build awareness of their brand.
At the end of the lecture Angrick reflected back on how what he had learned in his years at Notre Dame has influenced him throughout life. Angrick said Notre Dame's emphasis on strong values and faith has helped him immeasurably in his ventures, and the university's stress on community, teamwork, and excellence will stay with him throughout the rest of his life.
"It is your obligation to make your mark," Angrick said.

About Capt. Ephraim Williams, Jr.
Ephraim Williams Jr. (March 7, 1715 [O.S. February 24, 1714] – September 8, 1755) was a soldier from the Province of Massachusetts Bay who was killed in the French and Indian War. He was the benefactor of Williams College, located in northwestern Massachusetts.
Ephraim Williams Junior
Born March 7, 1715 at Newton, Massachusetts
Died September 8, 1755 at Lake George, New York during the Battle of Lake George
Nationality British American
Occupation Soldier
Known for Benefactor and namesake of Williams College
Ephraim Jr. was the eldest son of Ephraim Sr. (1691–1754) and Elizabeth Jackson Williams (d.1718). He was born in Newton, Massachusetts, and was raised by his maternal grandparents after his mother died in 1718. His family was influential in western Massachusetts; so influential, in fact, that they were often referred to as the "River Gods" (referencing the Connecticut River, the major waterway in the area).
In his youth, Ephraim Jr. was a sailor. In 1742, he moved to Stockbridge, Massachusetts, where his parents had relocated, and joined the local militia. He was commissioned captain. In 1745, during King George's War (1745–1748), he was put in charge of building and defending Fort Massachusetts. During the French and Indian War (1754–1763), Williams took part in William Johnson's expedition against Crown Point, New York. He was shot in the head and killed during an ambush by the French in the Battle of Lake George.
Ephraim left his sizable estate to support the founding of a free school on his land in western Massachusetts, on the condition that the town be named after him (Williamstown, Massachusetts) and that the free school be made on land he donated. The school was founded in 1791 and converted to a college (Williams College) in 1793.
Ebenezer Fitch, the first President of Williams College, wrote a biographical sketch of Ephraim Jr. in 1802. He described the college's benefactor as follows: "In his person, he was large and fleshy...His address was easy, and his manners pleasing and conciliating. Affable and facetious, he could make himself agreeable in all companies; and was very generally esteemed, respected, and beloved."
Ephraim Jr. also appears in an early version of "Yankee Doodle":
Brother Ephraim sold his Cow
And bought him a Commission;
And then he went to Canada
To fight for the Nation;
But when Ephraim he came home
He proved an arrant Coward,
He wouldn't fight the Frenchmen there
For fear of being devour'd.
There are no known portraits of Ephraim Williams.

Ephraim Williams Jr. (1715-1755)
1715 Ephraim Williams, Jr. is born in Newton, Massachusetts, the son of Ephraim Sr. (1691-1754) and Elizabeth Jackson Williams (d. 1718). As the great-grandson of Robert Williams (1607-1693), who emigrated from England to Roxbury, Massachusetts in 1638, he is a member of a powerful gentry family holding key positions in the military, church, and judiciary of the Bay Colony.
1718 Ephraim Jr.'s mother dies in April soon after the birth of her second child, Thomas (1718-1775). The two boys are sent to live with their maternal grandparents. In 1719 Ephraim Sr. marries Abigail Jones (b. 1694); six children will be born to the couple.
1733 At about this time, Ephraim Jr., having completed his education (presumably in the village school), is thought to have journeyed to England, Spain, and Holland. His brother, Thomas, studies medicine and in 1739 settles in Deerfield as a doctor.
1737 Ephraim Sr. and his wife and children are selected as one of four white families to settle at the Indian mission in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, to which they move in June 1738. These colonists are to serve as neighbors and exemplars for the families of Housatonic Indians who had gathered together in 1734 under the missionary John Sergeant (1710-1749).
1739 Ephraim Sr. surveys three townships on the Hoosic River, one of which will later be called Williamstown.
1742 Ephraim Jr.moves to Stockbridge, but his only recorded activity before 1745 is a survey of a parcel of his father's land late in 1742.
1745 On June 10th Ephraim Jr. receives a commission as captain in the Massachusetts provincial forces and takes over command of a line of forts along the colony's northern border. The forts are being built in response to the outbreak of war between England and France. Ephraim Jr. resides at Fort Shirley, in the present-day town of Heath, while supervising the completion of Fort Massachusetts, which is critically situated by the Hoosic River, between the future towns of North Adams and Williamstown. Today a plaque in the Price Chopper supermarket parking lot in North Adams marks the site.
1746 Ephraim Jr. moves his headquarters to Fort Massachusetts,but is absent on August 19th, when 950 French and Indians attack the 22-man garrison. The fort eventually surrenders and is put to the torch. The soldiers and their families are forcibly marched to Quebec.
1748 In March, following the reconstruction of Fort Massachusetts, Ephraim Jr. again takes command of the garrison. On May 5th he makes his first will, which includes £ 3 annually for the instruction of the Stockbridge Indians in Christian knowledge. In August the fort is attacked once more by French forces, and Ephraim Jr., leading a small party, is nearly caught in an ambush as he makes a foray to rescue several of his men. The Peace of Aix-la-Chapelle, ending King George's War, is signed in October.
1749 For the next several years, Ephraim Jr. is often in Stockbridge and Boston seeing to military, family, and personal business. Following a re-survey of the townships on the Hoosic River, the General Court appoints a Committee to lay out house lots in the west township, later Williamstown. The lots are placed on sale in 1750.
1751 Ephraim Jr. purchases two lots in the west township but never builds on them. In Stockbridge, Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) is called to become leader of the church and mission, succeeding the Reverend John Sergeant, who died in 1749. After Edwards' arrival in August, hostilities between him and the Williams family flare over theological issues and the management of the Indian mission and schools.
1752 Confidence in Ephraim Sr.'s leadership in the Stockbridge community wanes and his health worsens. Ephraim Jr. takes over management of his father's considerable estate in Stockbridge, and Ephraim Sr. removes to Deerfield, where he will remain until his death in 1754.
1753 The first settlers arrive in the west township (later Williamstown).
1754 The French and Indian War erupts in May when George Washington is attacked by the French at Fort Necessity in Pennsylvania. Indians destroy a good portion of Hoosick Falls in May, and raid Stockbridge in early September. Ephraim Jr. is reinstated as commander of Fort Massachusetts. The settlers in the west township petition the colonial government for help in defending themselves against the French and Indians. Consistent with the advice of Ephraim Jr.'s cousin, Israel Williams (1709-1789), the military commander of the western district of Massachusetts, the government of the colony fails to respond to the petition. The task of informing the settlers of the government's position falls to Ephraim Jr.
1755 The year begins with a sharp disappointment for Ephraim Jr. Governor Shirley is planning a campaign to capture the French outpost at Crown Point on Lake Champlain and offers Ephraim a commission in his regiment a full, royal commission, not simply one in the provincial forces. However, Shirley learns that his officers are to be sent from England and thus must withdraw his offer. Subsequently, General William Johnson (1715-1774) is given command of the Crown Point expedition, and Ephraim Jr. accepts a provincial commission in it. Also during the spring, he supposedly courts nineteen-year-old Sarah Williams (1736-1817), daughter of his cousin Israel, but without success.
Shortly after arriving at the military rendezvous in Albany, Ephraim Jr. learns of the defeat of General Edward Braddock on the Monongahela River. Comprehending the seriousness of the campaign ahead of him, he completes a new will on July 22nd and mails it to Israel Williams. In it, he leaves the remainder of his estate, following bequests to family members, to establish and maintain a free school in the township west of Fort Massachusetts, the future Williamstown. He probably had in mind a village school offering instruction at the most elementary level.
By August, Ephraim Jr.'s regiment has marched north to the "Great Carrying Place" on the upper Hudson, later called Fort Edward, and thence to a camp on the shores of Lake George. On September 8th, Ephraim Jr., in command of 1,000 soldiers and 200 Indians, is sent back to Fort Edward to assist the troops there in protecting the supply base from the French who have been sighted in the area. On the road, the company is ambushed by 1,400 French and Indians- Ephraim Jr. is shot and killed.

One 15-year-old girl remained in critical condition, one was released from the hospital and three students were treated for anxiety as crisis counselors arrived on scene after the tragedy, according to officials.
The shooter, identified as Karl Halverson Pierson, 18, was a student at the school.

I'm sitting at my computer finishing up a bit of research for tomorrow's sermon and I just had to stop to say thank you to the Accordance designers and programmers.
Not only do I have so many valuable tools at my finger tips, but the user interface is just incredible.
It's getting late, I've been on the go all day and my eyes are really tired. So I just click the large A that's in almost every (I'd say every, but I'll bet I miss one) Accordance window or pane. The text enlarges and my eyes relax. It's as if the programmers said, "Hey, Dave - what size do you need tonight? We'll make it happen for you."
This is such a cool feature - one that I generally take for granted - but tonight I had to stop to say "Thanks!"
Thank you so much!
