Box Score - Cal State Northridge @ Cal State Fullerton
Feb. 10, 2011
By Bob Vazquez, Assistant Athletic Director (Media Relations)
Northridge, Calif. - Cal State Northridge head basketball coach Bobby Braswell emerged from the jubilant locker room after CSUN's highly dramatic-ending 70-68 victory at Cal State Northridge and was a bit speechless.
Braswell is a man of many words. His timely quotes often fill a reporters' notebook. A large group of reporters and well-wishers waited a few seconds while Braswell collected his thoughts. Braswell then issued an immense sigh of relief, displayed a country-wide smile and then began to recount in detail the heroic events that led to a Matador victory that kept CSUN in second place in the Big West Conference (7-4). The victory also entrenches Saturday's anticipated confrontation with first place Long Beach State.
Get there early on Saturday night (7:05 p.m.) to grab a good seat. The Matadome will be jumpin' before what will probably be one of the biggest, loudest crowds in recent years.
But back to CSUN's victory at Cal State Fullerton on Thursday night for a fourth straight season at Titan Gym. At one point in the second half, Cal State Northridge was down by double-digits, the result of a sluggish beginning that seemed to linger throughout most of the game.
"We've been on the wrong end of a lot of close games like this in recent years, but it's nice to be on the other side," said Braswell. "This was another road win for us. I'm just very proud of our guys."
As Braswell always has preached, don't ever give up. Keep fighting. Play defense. Make stops. Good things will happen if you just keep playing, tough defensive basketball. Even if your offense sputters, great defense will always keep a team in the game.
Cal State Northridge led 2-0 on a Lenny Daniel jumper at 18:20 in the first half. Their only other lead of the 40-minute Big West Conference contest was when freshman Josh Greene hit a long baseline three-pointer that Greene had to arch high over a Titan defender's hand to give Cal State Northridge a 69-68 lead with 24 seconds on the clock.
"I'm not sure how Josh' 3-pointer went in," said Braswell. "He put up that shot about five feet higher than he normally shoots it. But he stepped up and put it in the basket."
Greene isn't shy about shooting and his heroic shot was just one of six 3-pointers he hit to give him a season-high 19 points.
Down 14 points, 50-36, with 13:20 left in the game, Cal State Northridge hit six straight three-pointers to gradually move the Matadors into a 61-61 tie with 2:48 remaining in the game and eventually put the Matadors in front, 69-68 with 24 seconds on the clock. The Matadors employed a smaller lineup to take advantage of the three-shot ability of players like Josh Greene, Vinnie McGhee and Aqeel Quinn. Four of those six straight three-pointers were made by Greene.
"We just were sluggish in the first half," said Braswell "We never got our energy level flowing. I just told the team to keep plugging away. I told the team to keep getting stops, play defense and our shots will start coming our way."
There were plenty of heroes for Cal State Northridge. Michael Lizarraga scored ten points and grabbed six rebounds. Lenny Daniel collected his 13th double-double of the year with eleven points and eleven rebounds. Rashaun McLemore added ten points.
Cal State Fullerton still had a chance to either tie or win the game with ten seconds on the clock after Lizarraga hit a free throw to give the Matadors a 70-68 advantage. But the Titans missed a layup and a tip-in as the final clock struck zero. Cal State Northridge players celebrated on the court as CSUN emerged with its tenth victory of the year.
"Lord knows I thought they were going to hit that last tip-in at the end," admitted Braswell. "I don't know exactly how he missed that shot."
Cal State Northridge hosts Long Beach State on Saturday (2/12/11, 7:05 p.m.) at The Matadome. The 49ers solidified their hold on first place (9-2) in the Big West Conference with a decisive 93-69 victory at UC Davis.
The 49ers, earlier this year, beat Cal State Northridge (85-71) on LBS' home court, the Pyramid. Rashaun McLemore scored 20 points while Lenny Daniel added 18 points and eleven rebounds for the Matadors. Four Long Beach starters collected double-digit points with Casper Ware leading the attack with 23 points, six assists and two steals. The 49ers crushed CSUN on the boards, 39-to-28.
Matador Memo ...
Cal State Northridge has won three of its last four games (UC Irvine, UC Santa Barbara, Cal State Fullerton) on the road this year ... Over the last three seasons, Cal State Northridge has played in 13 games decided by three points or less ... The Matadors are 4-9 during that span ... The ten 3-pointers ties a season-high originally set at Air Force (12/2/10) ... The six three-pointers by Josh Greene is the seventh-best mark for a single game in school history.

Every year, hundreds of college students travel to Dillon, Mont. from near and far. Many of them have probably never seen Dillon before they arrive, much less know anything about the town they will be living in while attending the University of Montana Western.
Through a new collaboration with the Montana Western Campus Corps and Beaverhead County Museum, students are beginning to take an active role in learning about the history of Dillon and the surrounding area by archiving that history for the museum.
Campus Corps volunteer Chelsea Pippin spent much of the fall 2009 semester working in the Beaverhead County Museum. She helped museum employees organize, photocopy, and catalogue files and photographs in the museum's archives. While working on this project, she learned how to properly preserve original photographs and files so they will be available for future access.
"It's important to preserve history to make sure it's there so people not only have access to it but are able to find the documents they need," said Pippin.
As a former history major, Pippin said she enjoyed browsing through the archives learning more about Dillon's history and being able to see pictures of what the town looked like in the past.
Matt DeVries, another Campus Corps volunteer, began to volunteer at the museum in March. Instead of cataloguing the history the museum has stored, he will be writing a guidebook.
"It will be interesting to write an historical nonfiction book," said Devries. "I'm an English major, so the project is right up my alley."
DeVries will be picking up the project where Montana Western history major Kenny Wait left off. Wait began working on the guidebook for his senior internship. Because the museum is not big enough to have tour guides explain the exhibits to guests, a guidebook will serve as a consistent visitor guide.
There will be two versions of the guidebook, Wait explained. One will be sold in the museum gift shop, and a smaller one will be available for guests to take along on their tour through the museum. Both guidebooks will explain the history of the different exhibits.
"Service sites like the museum give students an opportunity to apply their education in a field they might pursue later," said Jon Stephani, Campus Corps team leader. "The museum has given Chelsea and Matt a chance to not only help their community but also learn the history of they place they're going to be living in while attending school at Montana Western."

Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur have been placed on red alert as Alvaro Negredo edges closer to a Sevilla exit, after the Spanish club secured the signing of Colombian forward Carlos Bacca.
The London Metro reports how the Primera Division outfit secured the former Club Bruges star to a long-term five-year contract, fuelling speculation that the £6million capture will act as a direct replacement for Negredo, who is poised to leave Andalucia.
Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas has been credited with an interest in signing the Spain international striker, as he looks to strengthen his attacking options at White Hart Lane before the start of the 2013/14 campaign.
Tottenham face competition from Manchester City, though, as their new manager Manuel Pellegrini is also believed to be monitoring Negredo's situation at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium.
The Chilean coach has already confirmed that he's in the market for a new striker this transfer window, and could step up his interest in luring the 27-year-old to the Etihad Stadium.
Earlier this week, Sevilla president Jose Maria del Nido insisted that the club had received no concrete offers for Negredo's services, but a move to the Premier League might still be on the horizon as Tottenham and City close in on the target.

Bible Text:
Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; —I Timothy 6:17
Whereby we protest that it is God's part to feed us, as a father cherishes his children. God has so referred this to himself, that he will have us crave our nourishment at his hands. And Paul says that he gives us all things richly. Not that we have all that we wish for, and that God fills us; for we know that our appetites will never be satisfied; and if God should give us whatever we would ask, it would be enough to choke us, for we are unsatiable whirlpools, and the question is not only to content us in measure and soberly, but everyone of us would swim in the pleasures of this world and play the gluttons without measure, yes, and we would not only cram in without all order and excessively, but we would have and scrape goods together such as to put our eyes out, and to stifle us with abundance. Such we are by nature. Therefore God does not give us richly according to our own desire whatever we want, but yet he is not so niggardly but that he nourishes us his children as he knows is best and most suitable for us. Thus we see God's bounty, that he does not fail the poor world, but feeds them that commit themselves to him and call upon him. And if he has a care over all, will he despise his faithful? Will he forget them? —Sermons
John Calvin was the premier theologian of the Reformation, but also a pious and godly Christian pastor who endeavored throughout his life to point men and women to Christ. We are grateful to Reformation Heritage Books for permission to use John Calvin's Thine Is My Heart as our daily devotional for 2013 on the OPC Web site. You can currently obtain a printed copy of that book from Reformation Heritage Books.
Dr. Joel Beeke, who is editorial director of Reformation Heritage Books, has this to say:
"Calvin shows us the piety of a Reformed theologian who speaks from the heart. Having tasted the goodness and grace of God in Jesus Christ, he pursued piety by seeking to know and do God's will every day. He communed with Christ, practicing repentance, self-denial, and cross-bearing. Moreover, his theology worked itself out in heart-felt, Christ-honoring piety. The selections of this devotional bear this out, and hopefully will be used by God to direct pious hearts in our own day."
These devotional readings from John Calvin were compiled by John H. Kromminga. Be sure to read his "Introduction" to John Calvin's Thine Is My Heart.

2002 Track and Field
BC at Florida State
Bluffton track squad competes at Florida State UniversityBy Derek Stanley and Tim Stried
March 2, 2002
The Bluffton College track and field team competed in their first of two spring break meet on March 1 and 2 in a small college meet at the Mike Long Track on the campus of Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida.
"Even though we only brought about half the team, this meet was above average for us," said head coach Derek Stanley. "On top of the good performances throughout the day, Rachael Szydlowski ran an outstanding race to close out the competition, which I was very pleased with."
Noteworthy performances were turned in on both the men's and women's side. For the women Jana Hammer ran a PR in the 400 meter dash (65.60) and came back strong in the 200 meter dash (28.31). Ben Noll had a good performance coming back from injury in the 800-meter dash running a 2:42. Rachel Noirot took third in the pole vault clearing 6-6.75. And finally, Szydlowski took 45 seconds off of her personal best in the 5000 meter run to take third in the race finishing with a 20:49.
On the men's side, Patrick Craun opened up the season in the javelin throwing 123-3, and Steve Borga pulled off yet another PR in the 5000 meter run as he completed the race in 17:14. Kevin Ross threw a PR in the shot put (41-2.25) and came back strong in the discus throwing 115-7. Travis Lepley threw well in his first hammer competition of his career finishing seventh with a throw of 106-10.

Please urge your readers to vote no on Question 5 and reject the terribly gerrymandered congressional district plan passed by the Maryland General Assembly.
Those candidates elected under the current plan this November will not be affected. However, voter rejection of the plan will force the governor and legislature to pass a plan with compact districts.
I urge Gov. Martin O'Malley to establish a nonpartisan redistricting commission if the General Assembly cannot do better.

Sweet success — Sugar season is nearing an end, and the farmers say this has been a successful one.
Sweet success — Sugar season is nearing an end, and the farmers say this has been a successful one.
That is good news for the farmers, of course. But it is also good news for everyone throughout our region. Sugar cane is still a huge part of the local economy, and its success or failure in any given year has ripples through the area.
"We don't know if this will be a record-breaking crop, but it's high volume," said American Sugar Cane League General Manager Jim Simon. "The sugar content started weak, but since that time, the sugar per volume has improved."
While sugar prices are down a bit this year, the good news about the bountiful harvest should see our many local farmers through another successful season.
The mild winter last year played a part in this year's good harvest, the farmers said, and even the rain and winds we got from Hurricane Isaac couldn't spoil the crop.
Congratulations on a good year. May next year be even better.
Local representation — If you watched the Cotton Bowl on Friday night, you might have caught a glimpse of some local faces.
Before the game and during halftime of the gridiron matchup between Texas A&M and Oklahoma, Terrebonne High School's dance team, the Crimson Belles, performed.
The team members and their supporters raised the money for the Belles to go on the trip, but everyone in our area got to take a little pride in seeing these talented youngsters on television.
It's a great tribute to the quality of the team's hard work and dedication that the members were able to earn such a remarkable distinction.
Job well done!
Grinches attack — Apparently, nothing is off limits to thieves and vandals.
A manger scene at the Houma courthouse was vandalized a few weeks ago, an act that included the theft of the baby Jesus figure.
The stunning crime wasn't even the first local instance of this sort.
"This is something that's happened several times over the last couple of years," said Anne Picou, coordinator of Terrebonne Parish's downtown development. "Last year our Joseph walked off at some point."
Even ignoring the religious symbolism of the decorations, it is a shame that anyone would damage or steal items meant only to brighten the holiday for passersby.
It might be nothing more serious or sinister than a prank, but it was certainly a Scrooge-worthy act.
How can this be? — Those who have their doubts about oilfield safety had their arguments reinforced recently when an offshore company admitted it had used coffee filters to doctor water samples from the Gulf of Mexico.
The company, W&T Offshore, will have to pay $1 million in fines and community-service fees for its crimes, which were used to cover up its dumping of oil and grease in the water.
This episode is not typical of the offshore oilfield, but it is enough to fuel questions yet again over safety in an industry that is relied on in large part to monitor its own practices.
Thankfully, in this case, the culprits were caught and punished.

WCC builds Grand Theft Auto car
'Banshee' from ground-breaking videogame built as a one-off. Yup, it's real…
The videogame community has long been regarded as the base for mankind's problems - everything from the global economic crisis to things that predate even Mario. Like the Black Death (yeah, go figure). Every once in a while though, they inspire greatness. Like this.
Ladies and gentlemen of the web, may we present to you a real-life, actual, moving-parts 'Bravado Banshee' from Grand Theft Auto. Yes, it's the Viper-inspired sportscar that millions of gamers across the globe will have crashed into a building during an ill-fated getaway run.
It's been built by West Coast Customs (they of the 'yo dawg' fraternity) to celebrate the highly anticipated upcoming launch of Grand Theft Auto V, and is a complete one-off showpiece.
We're told 'state of the art' fabrication techniques were used to create moulds for the exterior panels, which were cut and machined piece-by-piece, laid out by hand and bolted together to faithfully recreate its digital source.
The interior was also handcrafted and stitched, with 'Banshee' embroidery on the seats, while the dash, door panels and centre console were finished with carbon inlays. And this being West Coast Customs, there's also a 'multi-speaker' premium sound system. The whole thing was then finished in the metallic blue with white stripe seen in the game.
There's no word on its running gear, but seeing as the Banshee most closely matches the Viper, TG.com is secretly hoping the new 8.4-litre V10 from the current gen and its 640bhp has found a home underneath. Though this is quite unlikely, plus there's a 'twin-turbo' badge on the front wing, so it's probably an earlier gen SRT with many, many horses, RWD and the propensity to chuckle derisively at your enthusiastic corner entry speeds...
Gamestop is even giving the Banshee away as promotion for GTA V, so you could be in with a shout of winning it. You have to admit, this is quite cool...

Dogged earlier this season by questions regarding whether his best days were behind him, Andre Johnson has turned in a couple of the best days any NFL receiver has ever had.
For that, he has been named the AFC offensive player of the month for November.
Johnson, now in his 10th year, led the conference with 35 catches, 614 receiving yards, and 614 yards from scrimmage. Along the way, the Texans went 4-0.
He finished the month by generating 461 receiving yards in a pair of games played only four days apart.
Johnson is the second Texan to be honored with a player-of-the-month award this season. In September, defensive end J.J. Watt was named his conference's defensive player of the month.
Johnson previously won the award in October 2008.

MALDEN — Saturday was a perfect day for football.
The piercing wind whipped down Pearl Street and a thin coating of snow delicately blanketed the turf at Macdonald Stadium as more than 60 football hopefuls arrived with the same aspiration: to impress former New England Patriots running back Patrick Pass, a three-time Super Bowl champion, and his fellow coaches, also former NFL players, enough to earn a spot on the Boston Freedom Fighters roster.
The team is part of the newly formed, eight-team National Spring Football League, which is intended to help players reach the established professional leagues. The other teams are the Arizona Racers, the Georgia Blaze, the Los Angeles Knights, the Rhode Island Navigators, the San Antonio Defenders, the Texas Heat Seekers, and the Virginia Beach Sting Rays.
"It's a developmental league for a lot of these kids, a second chance to show the NFL scouts, GMs, and owners that they have what it takes to play this game," Pass said. "We're trying to give these guys the best film possible to showcase their talents."
Paul Shaughnessy, a 23-year-old Malden native and Northeast Metro Tech graduate, came out to earn a spot.
"To play something you love and travel the country at the same time, that's the American dream," said Shaughnessy, who also was a running back at Mount Ida College from 2007 to 2010. "A lot of guys in here are legitimate athletes and are excited for this opportunity."
Shaughnessy is one of 38 Massachusetts natives who attended tryouts on Saturday and participated in traditional drills such as the 40-yard dash and shuttle run, as well as individual position drills.
The Freedom Fighters' first game is March 30 in San Antonio. According to Pass, the goal is to have a 60-man roster — including 10 practice squad members — set by training camp, which is scheduled to start March 4.
"We want someone who is coachable, and someone we don't have to teach to play the game of football all over again," Pass said. "We want someone who can listen, take directions well, and play hard."
The idea of locating in Boston started when Terrell Parham, the NSFL's chief executive, contacted Malden businessman Bill Spadafora and asked if he was interested in forming a team.
"There's always been a need for a pro developmental league, because the NFL doesn't have that," said Spadafora, the owner of the Freedom Fighters. "We're not sanctioned by [the NFL], but we're hoping, with success, we will be at some given point."
NSFL standards require all teams to play at a stadium with a 5,000-person capacity, so Spadafora, a lifelong Malden resident whose family owns the restaurant Anthony's, turned his attention to newly renovated Macdonald Stadium, Malden High's home field.
The stadium underwent $2 million in repairs and improvements last summer, which included installation of an artificial turf field and a regulation-size track.
To help generate profits, Spadafora has teamed with marketing director Mark Perrone.
'To play something you love and travel the country at the same time, that's the American dream. A lot of guys in here are legitimate athletes and are excited for this opportunity.'
"With an endeavor this big, you need a lot of revenue, and it's not just going to survive on sponsorship," Spadafora said. "Ticket sales, marketing of T-shirts and hats, concessions, and parking rights are all things that come into play."
Malden Mayor Gary Christenson, who has supported Boston Baseball Field of Dreams' plans to develop a minor league baseball stadium on Commercial Street, said he was thrilled to welcome the Freedom Fighters to the city.
"The Stadium Commission has to agree with the [Boston Freedom Fighters] on some of the particulars of the deal," Christenson said. "I'm thrilled for Malden to have the opportunity to host this team. What makes it particularly exciting for our community is not only to have local ownership, but to also have former New England Patriots players and Super Bowl champions be a part of the organization here in the city of Malden."
Salem native Sean Stellato — a standout quarterback who helped the Salem Witches capture an MIAA Super Bowl title in 1994 — is the Freedom Fighters' general manager. He also is the agent for New England Patriots cornerback Kyle Arrington and defensive lineman Kyle Love.
Through his Patriots connections, he was able to build a coaching staff consisting of Pass and former Patriots linebacker Vernon Crawford, the team's defensive coordinator. The staff also features former Washington Redskins lineman Franciscus Mills, former Brown University coach Lee Miller, and Rasi Chau, who coaches at Lynn Tech.
Through sponsors like AT&T, the players will receive NFL-like amenities. All of the equipment, flights, lodging, and meals are paid for while on the road, and players will be signed to contracts.
But unlike the NFL, there will not be any high-priced superstars. Every player makes the same amount — $400 for each game, with a $100 bonus if they win.
"I'm just glad I get another opportunity, and we'll see where it goes from here," said former Everett quarterback James Suozzo, 23. "Hopefully I can build and move on to a bigger level of play in the future."
Suozzo, who helped lead the Crimson Tide to a Division 1 Super Bowl title in 2006, played at Merrimack College from 2008 to 2011, and attended the New York Giants rookie minicamp last May.
"I've noticed this is different from other leagues that have started up," Suozzo said. "A lot were indoor and the rules were different, but this is based off the NFL structure, which makes it more elite. It gives you a better opportunity, and for the most part, gets you ready for the big leagues."Anthony Gulizia can be reached at email@example.com.

Intrada has announced the three CDs they will be releasing next week -- one of James Newton Howard's most sought-after scores, for the 1993 urban psychological drama FALLING DOWN, starring Michael Douglas and Robert Duvall; a CD pairing music from two Oscar-winning Paramount films scored by Lyn Murray -- Alfred Hitchcock's romantic caper TO CATCH A THIEF, featuring the classic teaming of Cary Grant and Grace Kelly, and the Korean War drama (not World War II as I'd originally, erroneously reported) THE BRIDGES AT TOKO-RI; and a re-release of their out-of-print version of Richard Band's cult classic RE-ANIMATOR score.
The latest CD announced by Kritzerland is the first-ever commercial release of the score to JOSEPH ANDREWS. Director Tony Richardson had arguably his greatest success with his 1963 film version of Fielding's classic Tom Jones, which earned Richardson Oscars for Picture and Directing, and in 1977 he directed the film version of Fielding's first novel, with Peter Firth as the title character and Anne-Margaret as the libidinous Lady Booby. Hugh Griffith had a cameo reprising his Oscar-winning role as Tom Jones' Squire Western, while the lighthearted, romantic score was composed by Tom Jones' other Oscar winner, Richardson's longtime collaborator John Addison. The only previous release of this score was a composer promo LP; the Kritzerland edition has additional music (but apparently not the Jim Dale songs featured in the film, which were also absent from the promo LP).
On January 28, Varese Sarabande will release the soundtrack to the upcoming sex comedy THAT AWKWARD MOMENT, teaming Zac Efron with two of 2013's most acclaimed young actors -- Michael B. Jordan (Fruitvale Station) and Miles Teller (The Spectacular Now). The CD will feature songs as well as selections from the score by David Torn (Lars and the Real Girl, The Order).
Buysoundtrack has announced two new CDs -- John Debney's score to the 1999 sci-fi thriller KOMODO, directed by Oscar-winning visual effects artist Michael Lantieri; and a CD pairing two scores by veteran orchestrator-composer Steve Bartek, 2008's THE ART OF TRAVEL and the 1991 dark comedy GUILTY AS CHARGED, starring Rod Steiger, Lauren Hutton and Heather Graham.
In case you simply don't have time to scroll down to yesterday's column, the nominations for the 2013 music Oscars are:
THE BOOK THIEF - John Williams
GRAVITY - Steven Price
HER - William Butler, Owen Pallett
PHILOMENA - Alexandre Desplat
SAVING MR. BANKS - Thomas Newman
"ALONE YET NOT ALONE" - Alone Yet Not Alone - Music by Bruce Broughton, Lyric by Dennis Spiegel
"HAPPY" - Despicable Me 2 - Music and Lyric by Pharrell Williams
"LET IT GO" - Frozen - Music and Lyric by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez
"THE MOON SONG" - Her - Music by Karen O, Lyric by Karen O and Spike Jonze
"ORDINARY LOVE" - Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom - Music by Paul Hewson, Dave Evans, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen, Lyric by Paul Hewson
Alex Ebert (aka "Alexander") won the Golden Globe for his score to J.C. Chandor's survival drama ALL IS LOST (aka Gravity at Sea). The song award went to Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom's "Ordinary Love," by the kids from that new Irish boy band U2.
Afrikaioli/Travail D'arabe/Les 4 Saisons Despigoule - Michel Korb - Music Box

AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY - Gustavo Santaolalla
"As directed by Wells, he seems to have been almost too hands-off when it comes to his heavyweight cast. There is little in the way of craftmanship here -- even the usually-reliable composer Gustavo Santalalla provides a rather workmanlike score -- and the film could've used a stronger hand in guiding the transition of the play to the big screen. There is a powerful cinematic experience somewhere in 'August: Osage County' waiting to get out in the sprawling two hour plus runtime, but in seemingly staying too faithful to Letts' work, the end product winds up playing almost like a supercut of Important Acting In Big Scenes, instead of a cohesive work of dramatic weight and thematic thoughtfulness."
Kevin Jagernauth, The Playlist
"When [director John] Wells doesn't remain invisible, he steps in mostly to blunt the impact of the nonstop trauma onscreen. Some might welcome a little salve, but it runs counter to the harsh, uncompromising honesty of Letts' work. We don't need intrusively sad music to clue us in about how sad these lives are. We don't need blandly pretty landscape shots to act as contrast to the ugliness elsewhere onscreen. Letts arms his characters with words as weapons, and William Friedkin's prior Letts adaptations let them retain their raw destructive power."
Ian Buckwalter, NPR
"Still, Wells' heavy-handed direction and a bizarrely sappy score by Gustavo Santaolalla flatten much of the humor and spikiness; the pace seems to slow just as the no-exit tension should kick in. (Both the length and single set were crucial to the stage version's effect.)"
Ben Kenigsberg, The Onion AV Club
"It's somehow perfect that 'August: Osage County' (which takes place during a stifling heat wave) was released on Christmas Day, at a time of year when many people find themselves locked in close-quarters combat with their monstrous relatives. Despite an inappropriately saccharine score by Gustavo Santaolalla, this isn't one of those uplifting dysfunctional-family-reunion dramas that bring generations together in the theater at holiday time. But it should at least have the salutary effect that, by the time the movie ends, you'll be eager to get away from the Weston family and back to your own."
Dana Stevens, Slate.com
"Much of the action still exists in the overheated claustrophobia of the Weston household, yet footage of the rolling Oklahoma fields, characters in cars, and other exterior shots distract as opposed to elaborate on a setting that's meant to be suffocatingly insular. Most egregious is one scene in which Violet, on the verge of vomiting, exits a car and desperately runs into a field of haystacks, lunging for the horizon and flailing her arms as the music swells. The moment, so weakly melodramatic that high-as-a-kite Violet would likely roll her eyes at it, lacks the fluid self-awareness that Wells does an able job of capturing in the film's more tightly confined scenes (especially in the play's infamous dinner scene). Still, the sprawling Weston household provides a fine diorama."
Nick McCarthy, Slant Magazine
47 RONIN - Ilan Eshkeri
"A lack of faith in the material is suggested by the relentless use of Ilan Eshkeri's tumescent symphonic score."
David Rooney, Hollywood Reporter

How to Paint a Room Fast: Advice From a Pro
For this story, we worked with painting expert Bill Nunn. Bill is a veteran painter and the president of William Nunn Painting. The tricks and techniques he shows here come from 32 years of experience painting hundreds of homes and apartments. Besides being a super-efficient painter, Bill leaves a flawless finish on woodwork, walls and ceilings.
Clean Fast with TSP
You have to start with a clean surface for paint to adhere to previously painted walls and woodwork. Use a sponge and a trisodium phosphate cleaner (or TSP substitute) to quickly wash off dirt, grime and soot. TSP cleans fast and usually doesn't require a lot of scrubbing. Buy TSP concentrate and mix it with water—it's a better value than liquid TSP. A 16-oz. box costs about $5 at home centers.
Use TSP on all of your woodwork. It slightly etches the paint, which helps the paint form a better bond. And use it in kitchens to clean grease from walls, in bathrooms to remove hairspray and around light switches to remove fingerprints. Wear rubber gloves and turn up the cuffs to keep the TSP solution from running down your arm.
Strain Out the Goobers
Even if you open your paint right after bringing it home from the paint store, you can still have small chunks or strands of hard paint in it. If those end up on the wall, you'll have to pick them out and reroll the area. So spend two minutes straining out the goobers.
Buy a paint strainer at a home center or paint store or use old pantyhose to strain the paint. Place the strainer over a 5-gallon bucket, then pour the paint through the strainer. The strainer catches any debris in the paint. If you really want to be dollar savvy, rinse out the strainer in the sink and reuse it.
Paint Window Sashes Faster
Most DIYers slop paint onto the glass when painting windows, then scrape it off with a razor. But if you're good with a paintbrush, you can cut in along the glass. You won't have to scrape, and better yet, you'll leave the paint seal intact between the wood and the glass.
Load your brush and lay off the paint on the sash, staying about 1/2 in. from the glass. As soon as the brush is about half unloaded, go back and cut in closely. Let the brush bristles just barely touch the glass so the paint seals the tiny gap between the wood and the glass. If paint does drip on the window, scrape it off with a razor after it dries.
Groove Textured Ceilings
It's almost impossible to paint right next to rough-textured ceilings (a process called 'cutting in') without getting paint on the ceiling. Taping off the ceiling doesn't work either. The solution? Knock off the texture at the edge with a putty knife. Hold the knife at a 45-degree angle to the wall and run the blade along the edge of the ceiling. The blade scrapes away the texture and leaves a small groove in the ceiling. Clean out the groove with a duster or a dry paintbrush.
Now when you cut in along the top of the wall, the paintbrush bristles will slide into the groove, giving you a crisp paint line without getting paint on the ceiling. And you'll never notice the thin line of missing texture.
Cut in Quickly with a Steady Hand
Cutting in along trim that's not protected by masking tape takes a steady hand. And once you get the knack for it, you'll never want to fuss with taping trim again. Sure, cutting in can be hard for some DIYers, but you can learn to do it effectively.
Use a tapered paintbrush. The angled bristles uniformly unload the paint as you cut in. Dip the brush into the paint, then tap (don't wipe) each side against your container to knock off the excess. Brush the paint on the wall, about 1/2 in. from the trim. Then make a second pass, cutting in all the way to the trim. Avoid 'pushing' the paint with your bristles or you'll leave a ridge where you're cutting in. Apply just enough pressure to let the bristle ends glide next to the trim. To help keep the brush steady, move your entire arm as you paint instead of moving your arm only from the elbow down.
Cover Paint to Keep it Fresh
Paint dries fast, even paint in your roller tray. If you need to take a break for more than 10 minutes, cover the paint. Place a lid on your 5-gallon bucket of paint and a damp cloth over your handheld paint container. Use aluminum foil to cover your roller tray. If you don't, the film that forms on top of the paint may end up on your walls. Here's a trick for storing paint brushes overnight.
Use Extenders to Avoid Do-Overs
The longer that paint stays wet on walls or woodwork, the fewer lap marks and runs you'll have to deal with. Lap marks are those dark, ugly lines caused by painting over an area that's already dry. If you can keep the paint wet longer, you won't have to worry about them. And the way to prolong the 'open time' of paint is to add a paint extender or a conditioner (Floetrol is one brand; at home centers and paint stores).
Pour all the paint you need for the room into a 5-gallon bucket, then stir in the extender or conditioner (following the manufacturer's recommendations). Because extenders and conditioners help level out brush marks and paint runs, you won't have to go back and fix them later.
Cut in One Wall at a Time
Once you have your paintbrush in hand, it's tempting to cut in along all the trim, the ceiling and the corners in the room. But you'll get better results if you cut in just one wall, then immediately roll out the wall before cutting in the next one. That's because if you roll out the wall right away, while the cut-in paint is still wet, the cut-in paint and the wall paint will blend much better, reducing the chance of lap marks.
Spend Less Time Taping
You probably know that taping off all your trim with masking tape is time consuming and doesn't guarantee good results—paint can still bleed under the tape. In short, taping off everything is a waste of time. Instead, only tape horizontal surfaces, like baseboards and chair rail, where paint splatter can land and be noticeable. Vertical surfaces, like door and window trim, aren't as vulnerable to splatter, so don't bother taping them. Just be sure to cut in carefully with your paintbrush so you don't slop paint onto the trim.
'Tape creates its own set of problems, like coming off before you start painting and pulling paint off the wall when you remove it,' Bill says. 'But I learned the hard way that you still want to tape baseboards—paint will always splatter on baseboards if they're not taped.'
The Fastest Way to Cover Walls
Everyone who's painted has a personal technique for rolling walls. Bill honed his technique over three decades. It's methodical, which makes it fast and efficient. It also provides even coverage.
If you're right handed, paint the wall from left to right (it'll feel more natural when you're rolling). Load the roller sleeve with paint and roll from the baseboard to the ceiling to get the paint on the wall. Then roll straight back down (without reloading the roller) to ensure the wall is covered. Load the roller and move over about 3 in. to the right (the unpainted side of the wall) and roll the full height of the wall again to feather out the leading edge.
When you get to the top, move about 6 in. to the left (without reloading) and roll back down to smooth out any runs or lap marks. Then reload the roller, place it on the feathered edge and start the process over. As you paint, roll horizontally where you cut in along the baseboard and ceiling. Only roll about 3 ft. at a time so the paint will stay wet as you roll the walls.
'When I'm painting a room that has an 8-ft. ceiling, I like to attach a short handle to my roller instead of using the more common 48-in. pole extenders. The short handle gives me more control over the roller, and it's easier to turn the roller horizontal to roll along the baseboard and ceiling.' - Bill Nunn

Safeway hacked in email raid
Take your shopping to Tesco
Posted in Policy, 14th August 2000 08:45 GMT
Safeway, the British supermarket chain, had its email server cracked on Friday.
More than 1,000 customers complained to the company by telephone after receiving a "rude email", apparently sent from firstname.lastname@example.com, informing them of a 25 per cent price increase. And if they didn't like that, then they should "piss off to another supermarket chain such as Tesco or Sainsbury".
This sounds almost plausible from a British retailer (Safeway used to be owned by the American company of the same name, but cut loose several years ago).
Safeway informs by email 25,000 customers of special offers. In an apology sent to these customers by email on Saturday evening, the company said: "At this stage of our investigations we are confident that the no personal information was accessed".
The first step for the company will be to check whether
a disaffected employee is responsible for the email; then it's an audit of the security systems to see how it got taken for such an easy ride. ®

I dont even have my squeezebox yet but have set up the server software and scanned my tunes. I am not sure if this is supposed to work or not - but when I browse by Genre, then select an Artist within that Genre - it lists all of my tracks! All 4000 of them under a given Genre/Artist!
This cant be right? So are you not able to see the individual tracks under a Genre and then an Artist listed under that Genre?
Thanks for you responses!

- check your tags using MP3Tag
- under 'server settings - behaviour' there is an option for what to show based on genre browsing, but it seems to make no difference to me. Anyway, it should never do what you are seeing. So it's a tag thing.

"You are not authorized to access bug #4824."
2007-04-03, 13:48 #5
Sorry about that, I forgot that bug is viewable only by admin and developers. I'll summarize:
Bug 4824: behavior setting: filter genres at album & track level broken.
It seems the filtering behavioral options is broken.
It seems to me that selecting the option "Show any tracks & albums for an
artist" (within a genre selection) should show exactly that, any tracks and
albums by said artists.
Reproduction steps summarized:
Server settings -> behavior -> filter genres at the album & track level -> Show
any tracks & albums for an artist.
Browse -> Genres -> (choose a genre) -> click all albums -> click all artists.
SlimServer doesn't show all tracks and albums in said genre, it shows all
albums and artists in the library regardless of genre.Ross L

Ross, so are you saying that yes, it is a bug that I can't see the tracks listed under a given Artist when browsing by Genre?
2007-04-03, 15:25 #7Ross L
2007-04-03, 20:32 #8
OK. So I think you are confirming my question. ??? Currently you are unable to view a given artist's tracks under a given genre when first browsing by genre.
So for example, If I wanted to view Johnny Cash's tracks that are tagged as Country Genre, I can't until this bug is fixed with 7.0. ???
When will 7.0 come out?
If this is correct - wow. This is how I listen to my music. I will select a genre first, and then select tracks under that genre. Or just shuffle the genre.
Anyway - I hope this gets fixed soon. Probably wouldnt have purchase the squeezebox if I had know about this before-hand.
My squeezebox is due for delivery Friday. Can the bug be fixed by then? lol
Thanks for your responses.
2007-04-03, 21:55 #9
Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't bug 4824 only refer the the case when you doesn't select a specific artist.
In my setup I have:
Server Settings->Behaviour->Filter genres at the album & track level = "Only show tracks or albums matching the selected genre for an artist"
With this configuration I can browse to:
- Genres/Country/All Albums (Which shows all albums in the Country genre)
- Genres/Country/Johnny Cash (Which shows all albums in the Country genre by Johnny Cash)
- Genres/Country/Johnny Cash/I Walk The Line (Which shows all songs in the Country genre by Johnny Cash from the album "I Walk The Line")
If I hit play on "Genres/Country/All Albums" it will play all Country albums.
If I hit play on "Genres/Country/Johnny Cash" it will play all albums by Johnny Cash within the Country genre.
If I hit play on "Genres/Country/Johnny Cash/I Walk The Line" it will play all tracks by Johnny Cash within the Country genre from the album "I Walk The Line".
Isn't this the behaviour you are seeing ?
Are you expecting a different behaviour compared to this ?Erland Isaksson (My homepage)

Erland, you are correctly describing bug 4824, it is an issue when you browse -> genre -> artist, and yes you must select an artist to reproduce that bug. However, this is not what Club1820 *originally* described.

Attorney General Lockyer Sues Bush Administration For Delay on Energy Efficiency Rules for Common Appliances
Modern Technology Could Result in Significant Energy Savings, Reduce Dependency on Foreign Oil
Attorney General Bill Lockyer today filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for stalling energy-saving standards for appliances that use large amounts of electricity, natural gas and oil.
"Energy efficient appliances help protect the environment and our pocketbooks," said Lockyer. "These conservation goals are simply common sense and should be a top priority, yet the Bush Administration continues to drag its feet. With oil and gas prices skyrocketing, there simply is no excuse for delaying energy-efficient technologies that can help us reduce our dependence on foreign oil."
Lockyer was joined in the suit by a coalition of 15 states and the City of New York. The standards sought by the lawsuit, according to the federal government's own numbers, would generate substantial savings for consumers, and reduce air pollution and global warming emissions by reducing the demand on power plants. The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint is available at www.ag.ca.gov.
The federal Energy Policy and Conservation Act directs the DOE to periodically review and strengthen efficiency standards for a wide range of household and commercial products, including furnaces, water heaters, clothes washers, dryers, air conditioners, dishwashers, heat pumps, motors, ranges, ovens, motors and lamps.
The DOE is six to 13 years behind schedule and has not adopted any appliance efficiency standards since January 2001.
Appliance efficiency standards capitalize on improved technology and require that the covered appliances use less electricity, gas or oil while providing the same or improved levels of service and reliability. In the past, both the federal government and industry have agreed that national efficiency standards are among the fairest and most cost-effective way to reduce energy consumption.
Based on the DOE's estimates, the average annual energy savings would meet the total annual energy needs of three million to 12 million American households, depending on how strict the standards are and how quickly they are implemented. Annual electricity savings alone would be approximately equal to the output of 13 to 42 large power plants.
Energy efficiency experts estimate that by 2010 existing federal appliance efficiency standards are expected to lower electricity costs by over $20 billion per year. The new and strengthened standards that Congress required and that the states are suing to implement would increase those savings.
The states wrote to the DOE on July 1, 2005, requesting that it comply with the law and commit to a binding schedule for the establishment of stronger efficiency standards. The states notified the DOE that without such a schedule, the states would commence federal litigation. To date, the DOE has not responded to the letter.
In a previous suit filed in 2001, California, together with other states and nonprofit organizations, alleged DOE had violated the "anti-backsliding" provision of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act by withdrawing a final, Clinton-era rule establishing higher efficiency standards for air conditioners and central heat pumps. The U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals agreed, ruling that DOE's treatment of the air conditioning standard was contrary to the Department's own interpretation of the law.

Looking Glass Lives: A Novel
Alyson Books, 1998 - Fiction - 216 pages
One of the most enduring and versatile writers of gay literature returns with a new and surprising novel. Bestselling author Felice Picano has crafted a startling and haunting story spanning two centuries in a small seaside town. Amity Pritchard, her sister Constance, and Captain Eugene Calder endure anguished love and death at the end of the nineteenth century, only to emerge again as Roger Lynch, his wife Karen, and the dangerously captivating Chas, who alternately love and torment each other in the world of today. Permanently entwined, yet fluid in gender and sexuality, these three souls emerge and reemerge throughout history, drawn to one another by shared passion, but incapable of altering their shared destiny. Looking Glass Lives is a remarkable and irresistible combination of reincarnation, romance, tragedy, and redemption.

Continuing Education
Inclusive Curriculum Design
Date: 5:00pm - 8:00pm PST December 3, 2013 Location: York Graduate Center Room 107, Graduate Campus
York Graduate Center Room 107, Graduate Campus
Students who learn to value, protect, and respect one another's rights grow into citizens who know how to work together as local, state, and national leaders. To this end, we need classroom-ready curricula that affirms everyone in our classrooms. Yet how do we do this, and do it well?
Participants in this workshop will explore The Oregon Tribal Histories and Sovereignty Curriculum Design Project as a model for inclusive curricula design focused upon learner outcomes, including:
- Civic awareness and inclusiveness
- Increased affect on relationships across perceived differences
- Positive self-conceptions, and
- Group abilities
This workshop will provide counselors, educators, and administrators with skills to address and explore issues of inequity in the classroom and school in a way that works toward inclusiveness and away from objectification and alienation.
Content emphasis is focused on how to create and influence inclusive curriculum design and the role of education in forming norms of respect for differences. Workshop content is relevant to community members and activists, as well as counselors and educators.
This workshop is part of our 2013-2014 Workshop Series

Katy ISD trustees call for Nov. 5 bond election, including new stadium
Updated 12:41 am, Tuesday, August 20, 2013
Voters in the Katy Independent School District will be asked to support a $99 million bond election Nov. 5 that will include funding for a $69.5 million stadium.
Trustees voted 7-0 on Aug. 19 to call the election, which district officials say will not increase the tax rate. The district's tax rate for 2012-13 is $1.5266 per $100 of valuation. The district has had the same tax rate since 2007-08.
Trustees agree the new facilities will benefit all students and accommodate growth in this still rapidly growing district of 65,000.
"These (facilities) are only going to benefit our students," trustee Terry Huckaby said. "They will be such a draw in the future."
The Student Activity Facilities Bond Committee, comprised of 43 community members, recommended to trustees that the bond package include an agricultural sciences center; science, technology, engineering and mathematics project center; and a 14,000-seat stadium to be built next to Jack F. Rhodes Memorial Stadium.
"As Katy ISD continues its growth, it is crucial that student activity capacity keeps pace," said Tommy Harrison, committee chairman.
The $25 million agricultural sciences center would be developed at the Gerald D. Young facility, 5825 Katy-Hockley Cut-Off. The district has outgrown the L.D. Robinson Pavilion and room for growth or expanded instructional opportunities is limited, Harrison said.
The $4.5 million STEM Project Center to be located adjacent to the Miller Career and Technology Center will provide additional classrooms and space for students engaged in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. It will provide space for students to conduct large-scale experiments such as robotics, and build large-scale projects, Harrison said.
The district is in need of a second stadium to address scheduling issues that will become increasingly difficult as future high schools are opened, he said.
Six district high schools participate in varsity football, soccer and marching contests at Rhodes Stadium, 1733 Katy-Fort Bend Road. With the opening of Tompkins High School, the district will schedule seven varsity football teams into Rhodes Stadium beginning in August 2014. Scheduling seven schools in Rhodes Stadium will create several challenges for the district including compliance with the University Interscholastic League 5-day rule, he said.
More information about the student activity facilities projects can be found on the Katy ISD website at www.katyisd.org.

POSIX::1003 - bulk-load POSIX::1003 symbols
use POSIX::1003 qw(:termios :pc PATH_MAX); # is short for all of these: use POSIX::1003::Termios qw(:all); use POSIX::1003::Pathconf qw(:all); use POSIX::1003::FS qw(PATH_MAX); # full modules, subsets, constants, functions use POSIX::1003 qw(:pathconf :stat R_OK, cos); # overview about all exported symbols (by a module) show_posix_names 'POSIX::1003::Pathconf'; show_posix_names ':pc'; perl -MPOSIX::1003 'show_posix_names'
The POSIX::1003 suite implements access to many POSIX functions. The POSIX module in core (distributed with Perl itself) is ancient, the documentation is usually wrong, and it has too much unusable code in it.
POSIX::1003 tries to provide cleaner access to the operating system. More about the choices made can be found in section "Rationale".
The official POSIX standard is large, with over 1200 functions; POSIX::Overview does list them all. This collection of
POSIX::1003 extension provides access to quite a number of those functions, when they are not provided by "core". They also define as many system constants as possible. More functions may get added in the future.
Start looking in POSIX::Overview, to discover which module provides certain functionality. You may also guess the location from the module names listed in "DETAILS", below.
It can be quite some work to work-out which modules define what symbols and then write down all the explicit
require lines. Using bulk loading via this
POSIX::1003 will be slower during the import (because it needs to load the location of each of the hundreds of symbols into memory), but provides convenience: it loads the right modules automagically.
This module uses nasty export tricks, so is not based in Exporter. Some modules have more than one tag related to them, and one tag may load multiple modules. When you do not specify symbol or tag, then all are loaded into your namespace(!), the same behavior as POSIX has.
If your import list starts with
+1, the symbols will not get into your own namespace, but that of your caller. Just like
$Exporter::ExportLevel (but a simpler syntax).
use POSIX::1003 ':pathconf'; use POSIX::1003 ':pc'; # same, abbreviated name use POSIX::1003 ':stat'; # subset from :filesystem use POSIX::1003 qw(PATH_MAX :math sin); sub MyModule::import(@) # your own tricky exporter { POSIX::1003->import('+1', @_); }
(export tag) (module) :all <all symbols, default> :cs :confstr POSIX::1003::Confstr :errno :errors POSIX::1003::Errno :ev :events POSIX::1003::Events :fcntl POSIX::1003::Fcntl :fd :fdio POSIX::1003::FdIO :fs :filesystem POSIX::1003::FS :limit :limits POSIX::1003::Limit :locale POSIX::1003::Locale :math POSIX::1003::Math :none (nothing) :os :opsys POSIX::1003::OS :pc :pathconf POSIX::1003::Pathconf :proc :processes POSIX::1003::Proc :props :properties POSIX::1003::Properties :posix :property POSIX::1003::Properties :sc :sysconf POSIX::1003::Sysconf :signals POSIX::1003::Signals :signals :sigaction POSIX::SigAction :signals :sigset POSIX::SigSet :termio :termios POSIX::1003::Termios :time POSIX::1003::Time :user POSIX::1003::User
[0.96] Besides loading all the symbols of a module, you can also include a subset for some of the modules
(module) (export tags of subsets) fcntl :flock :lockf fdio :mode :seek filesystem :access :stat :perms limits :rlimit :ulimit signals :status :signals termios :flush :flags :speed
Returns the names of all modules in the current release of POSIX::1003.
Returns all the names, when in LIST content. In SCALAR context, it returns (a reference to) an HASH which contains exported names to modules mappings. If no explicit MODULES are specified, then all available modules are taken.
Print all names defined by the POSIX::1003 suite in alphabetical (case-insensitive) order. If no explicit MODULES are specified, then all available modules are taken.
Provide access to the
_CS_* constants.
Provide access to the
E* constants, for error numbers, and strerror().
Provides unbuffered IO handling; based on file-descriptors.
Some generic file-system information. See also POSIX::1003::Pathconf for more precise info.
Locales, see also perllocale.
Standard math functions of unknown precission.
A few ways to get Operating system information. See also POSIX::1003::Sysconf, POSIX::1003::Confstr, and POSIX::1003::Properties,
Provide access to the
pathconf() and its trillion
_PC_* constants.
Provide access to the
_POSIX_* constants.
With helper modules POSIX::SigSet and POSIX::SigAction.
Provide access to the
sysconf and its zillion
_SC_* constants.
Terminal IO
Time-stamp processing
Change active user and group.
For getting and setting resource limits.
Provides an OO interface around
Provides an OO interface around
The POSIX module as distributed with Perl itself is ancient (it dates before Perl5) Although it proclaims that it provides access to all POSIX functions, it only lists about 200 out of 1200. From that subset, half of the functions with croak when you use them, complaining that they cannot get implemented in Perl for some reason.
Many other functions provided by POSIX-in-Core simply forward the caller to a function with the same name which is in basic perl (see perldoc). With a few serious complications: the functions in POSIX do not use prototypes, sometimes expect different arguments and sometimes return different values.
Back to the basics: the POSIX::1003 provides access to the POSIX libraries where they can be made compatible with Perl's way of doing things. For instance,
setuid of POSIX is implemented with
$), whose exact behavior depends on compile-flags and OS: it's not the pure
setuid() of the standard hence left-out. There is no
isalpha() either: not compatible with Perl strings and implemented very different interface from POSIX. And there is also no own
exit(), because we have a
CORE::exit() with the same functionality.
This distribution does not add much functionality itself: it is mainly core's POSIX.xs (which is always available and ported to all platforms). You can access these routines via POSIX as well.
When you are used to POSIX.pm but want to move to POSIX::1003, you must be aware about the following differences:
atan2() in core or ::Math?)
POSIX, functions with the same name get exported without prototype, which does have consequences for interpretation of your program. This module uses prototypes on all exported functions, like CORE does.
UL_*, and
RLIMIT_* constants were collected from various sources, not just a minimal subset. You get access to all defined on your system.
This simplifies code like this:
use POSIX::1003::FS 'PATH_MAX'; use POSIX::1003::PathConfig '_PC_PATH_MAX'; my $max_fn = _PC_PATH_MAX($fn) // PATH_MAX // 1024;
With the tranditional POSIX, you have to
eval() each use of a constant.
This module is part of POSIX-1003 distribution version 0.98, built on December 03, 2013. Website: http://perl.overmeer.net. The code is based on POSIX, which is released with Perl itself. See also POSIX::Util for additional functionality.

"It was Nan Rehnquist's death, then, that in effect changed Supreme Court -- and American -- history."
4 comments:
- Goesh said...
Hail to the Old CJ! It makes sense to me, the partner and mate for so many years suddenly is gone, along with the plans for travel and leisure, so he kept on working instead. Many men seem uncomfortable in retirement, restless. It was a good excuse to stay on the job.
- Simon said...
I eagerly await the inevitable publication of a Rehnquist biography titled "The Chief", and hope for a respectfull and decent survey of his jurisprudence, a la the recent Rossum book on Justice Scalia.
- Simon said...
Re the article, I think Doug Kmiec has it about right. It is pointless to carp about what Rehnquist could have or should have done; he did the best that could be done with the Court that he had. It is like complaining that Scalia has not done more to stop the use of legislative history - at a certain point, the powers of pursuasion run out, and it becomes a question of the brute-force of new appointments. We didn't send Scalia and Rehnquist reinforcements; ergo, there was only so much they can do.
If "conservatives [feel] he did not travel far enough on the right one, allowing major doctrinal shifts on federalism, property rights, and other areas to fizzle or fade," perhaps they should take a good, long look in the mirror, and ask themselves if they did everything they could do to stop Perot in 1992, and thus, to prevent the nomination of two justices by Clinton, one of whom epitomizes "split the difference" jurisprudence. Rehnquist did not have a court full of Scalias, a court full of Rehnquists; he did not even have a court full of Kennedys. You need five votes to accomplish anything; Rehnquist's detractors seem to be suffering from a temporary failure to remember the very practical limitation of depending on O'Connor and Kennedy to get more-or-less anything done. I thus concur with Earl Maltz: "Rehnquist didn't get everything he wanted, but he did not have the votes." The defeat of Bob Bork, and the failure to re-elect George H.W. Bush are what went wrong, and neither of these things were within Rehnquist's power to change.
I am apparently quite a softie. I think the story about wanting to reture and then the death of his wife just when that became possible is heartbreaking. I'm glad he stayed on, but I think the reason he did is very sad.

Don't mean to go off topic but you should take a look at the sidebar in that link. Lanny Davis discusses Enron and crisis management and what could have been differently.
It was so interesting, I never made it to the original link.

Some Lynn Haven residents say the city is not doing enough to keep trailers out of their neighborhood, but city officials say they're doing all they can within the law.
The city already bought out the owner of this trailer, so the owner would move the mobile home out of the community off of 16th Street. Now, city commissioners will make a final vote on a new ordinance Tuesday night at 7 p.m., creating aesthetic guidelines for all homes.
City officials say the ordinance essentially keeps trailers out of the city, without discriminating against mobile home owners.
"The beauty of this is there's a disclaimer in the ordinance that says that the potential home has to look like five other homes on the street, so what you've got is a check and double check to make sure nobody's property value goes down," says Lynn Haven city manager, John Lynch.
"I went down to several mobile home lots this morning and talked to them about these regulations. You go in and ask for a custom home and they can reach all these standards, and that's still not helping the situation," says Helen Steele, a Lynn Haven resident.
Steele says the city should just create a designated area for trailers. Lynch says the city plans to do just that within the next few months.

XMNR: Bethesda Softworks announced Monday that the Playstation 3 would finally receive its first bit of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim DLC in the form of Dragonborn next month. However, studio representatives are studiously avoiding directly commenting on the Dawnguard and Hearthfire add-ons that are already out for the Xbox 360 and PC. Why?
I would think that they don't really care at this point. Why anyone who owns a Ps3 should care at this point is laughable. They sold a broken game, that's why. I would say it'll go down as one of the biggest blunders in gaming history. What's worse than not playing Skyrim? -- playing Skyrim half-way through and not being able to finish it. Hmm... why won't they talk about it?...
Way to go on the rhetorics n4g...
The game itself was fantastic even on the PS3, but yeah I did hate the fact that I had to quit the game when the game started lagging for what ever the reason was. But I played the shite out of that game regardless. But I would not hold onto it as I waited for the DLC.
1 year later and I couldn't care less for the DLC...if it is free yeh, but expecting us to pay for what is essentially old DLC is a joke, especially when they can't code PS3 efficiently....
Far Cry 3's engine pisses all over Skyrim' in terms of draw distance and has a better frame rate, with far fewer bugs.
So what if Skyrim is more complicated, don't attempt complicated if you can't deliver Bitchfesda!!!
Because Bethesda are a poor excuse for a games development company, whose fan boys give them far more praise for there mediocrity that they have ever deserved.
I bought skyrim on ps3 and thoroughly enjoyed it and was looking forward to the dlc even though its had so many issues, the most i have ever witnessed in game... if it was small time developer they would of been crucified in the reviews etc
Eventually however with the dlc fiasco i traded it in and have no reason to buy it back when they do eventually release the dlc and now in future i wont buy a bethesda game until a collectors edition is out and i have gamers reviews

Here's the difference between the Miami Heat and the 76ers. In the first quarter of Saturday's opening game, the Sixers delivered their best shot. They scored 31 points, shot over 60 percent from the floor, led 31-19, and were bouncing all around the court. What happened? Miami was knocked slightly onto its heels, tossed a smidged off balance, and needed half of the second quarter to stand upright and reclaim the lead. Half of one quarter. Just a few minutes. You could have gone to grab a hot dog and by the time you returned, Miami had already put together its 12-0 run and was once again leading.
Today, Miami offered a return blow. The Heat swarmed on defense all game, created turnovers, and worked around an ailing Dwyane Wade to create some decent offense. What happened? The Sixers were wiped off the floor. This wasn't even the best Miami can offer. Perhaps defensively it was, but in other areas it was simply solid, strong, good. And the result was that the Sixers weren't even competitive, couldn't even score, were limited to 1 for 13 shooting from their three primary interior players (Spencer Hawes, Elton Brand, and Marreese Speights) and 2 for 8 from their best all-around player (Andre Iguodala).
Afterward, it wasn't as if coach Doug Collins wanted to pretend that this was "just one of those games" that happen in a "long NBA season." No. He gave it to you straight: when Miami is good, there's absolutely nothing the Sixers can do. Put it another way? Miami's best is better than the Sixers' best, although more accurately you could say Miami's good is better than the Sixers' great.
This is the truth, and since we said all along the truth is revealed in the playoffs, that's what's happening. The Sixers' interior is being dominated by an opposing interior that isn't actually considered top notch, but merely mediocre. Iguodala can't create any offense during the postseason, not when defenses have shifted out of their oh-it's-just-another-regular-season-game style and into do or die. And the team's halfcourt offense, when boarded inside that half-court line, just doesn't have the pieces (enough shooters, enough big men, any go-to scorer) to compete with a team like Miami.
(On a positive note: Evan Turner looked good tonight and Jrue Holiday has had a strong presence in both games. Also, Thaddeus Young continues to play 100 miles an hour and pile up numbers, which would be beneficial if they were supporting-actor numbers instead of leading-role numbers ... but that fact is just another example of why the Sixers struggle in a post-season series.)
So what now?
Realistically, sitting here after the game and listening to Collins and the guys, the Sixers now understand the reality of the sitation. It's possible that Saturday's mild success had them believing in a vision that was really just a dream. Tonight, they got clobbered over the head by real life: Miami is so much better and Miami is going to end this series in four games, lopsided ones at that, if the Sixers don't find something that will work. Hawes must wake up, Iguodala must stop worrying about every other factor on the court -- the calls of the referees, forgotten plays, miscommunicated defensive assignments -- and play like a team leader, which in other games might not mean scoring, but when your team can't even reach 75 points, definitely does mean scoring. And Lou Williams must return to being Lou Williams because without him this team won't make it to halftime within arm's reach of Miami.
And even all of that -- for anyone who watched tonight's demolition -- might not produce victory, but it will keep things from getting embarrassing.

After a policy violation, previous Stuttgart Animal Control Officer Jennifer Bayne vacated her position on Nov. 1.
Stuttgart Police Department Chief Mike Smith will be interviewing candidates for the role of Stuttgart Animal Control Officer Wednesday.
But this doesn't mean the Stuttgart animal shelter is lacking, according to SPD Assistant Chief Steven Bobo. Currently SPD Administrative Capt. Dean Mannis is looking after the day-to-day operations with other officers filling in as needed.
"He has some community service workers out there too," Bobo said. "And officers take turns going out and checking on the dogs."
After a policy violation, previous Stuttgart Animal Control Officer Jennifer Bayne vacated her position on Nov. 1.
Up until August the shelter was run by non-profit Grand Prairie Animal Rescue (GPAR). The city took back full responsibility of the shelter and is working on a limited budget, since they had not budgeted for the shelter in 2012.
Nearly $20,000 of bond money has been spent since August to update electric and concrete work, according to Smith.
"Starting next year we will be back on track," Smith said of budgeting necessary money for the shelter and the animal control position.
The proposed 2013 budget has $64,005 scheduled for the Stuttgart Animal Control Department.
The department has been taking calls through dispatch, which can be contacted by dialing (870) 673-1414.

Unilin Flooring reopened its facility on Denton Road in Thomasville this month and has immediate job openings.
THOMASVILLE | Unilin Flooring reopened its facility on Denton Road this month and has immediate job openings. The company is accepting applications for new positions online at www.unilincareers.com.
The facility, which is used to manufacture laminate flooring for homes, has been closed since 2009, when officials "shuttered" the building as the economy contracted, said Cathy Publicover, Unilin's human resources manager at Thomasville.
The company is looking to hire about 30 workers originally, for a two-shift operation, and has hired more than a dozen workers already, Publicover said.
"It's not a huge number of jobs, but they are very solid and good-paying positions," Publicover said.
Joe Doorley, Unilin's milling and packaging manager in Thomasville, said it's possible for the Denton Road facility to return to a four-shift, or 24/7, operation, which could employ up to about 50 workers.
"Potentially, we can do that again in the future," Doorley said.
Unilin officials, including plant manager Steve Bradley, said laminate is one of the fastest-growing flooring categories in the U.S. Laminate is a manufacturing process that uses heat and pressure to create a highly realistic, sometimes embossed, wood product that replicates the appearance of hardwood flooring.
Bradley said company officials debated whether to reopen the facility after nearing total utilization at its main Thomasville facility on Cloninger Drive.
The company is investing close to $1 million as part of its effort to get the facility back up and running, Bradley said.
"It has been a huge effort to get this plant going, and I think it shows," Bradley said.
Workers at the Denton Road facility receive and process laminate prints received from other facilities, Doorley said.
Gary Craddock, a newly hired electro-mechanical technician, worked at the Denton Road facility before it shut down. He's one of several recently hired workers who used to work at the plant.
"It's like we're getting the band back together," Craddock said. "It's a challenge, but there are a lot of successes here. It's a rewarding career, and you get to see the fruits of your efforts immediately."
Available positions include press operator, inspector/back-up operator, forklift team member and press lay-up, according to a press release from the company.
The company's primary Thomasville facility on Cloninger Drive is accepting applications for process engineers, maintenance supervisor, master scheduler, electro-mechanical production technicians, CM operators, forklift operators and inspectors.
"We're looking for people with manufacturing experience, though not necessarily experience with laminate flooring," Publicover said. "We definitely want individuals with a total commitment to a safe workplace and a dedication to delivering exceptional quality for our customers."
Thomasville Mayor Joe Bennett said the news is great for the city.
"When I park my car out there and I begin to hear the noise in this building, it's like music," Bennett said. "It's great to bring life back to this building."
