The hit and run happened just after 10 p.m. Thursday night in the 900 block of south Mulford Road.
A security guard stepped into the road outside the Vanmatre Clinic and was hit by a passing car.
So far Rockford police have no suspects in custody, and are appealing to the public for any information they may have.
Fifty-three-year-old George Laksonen is rushed from the scene of a hit and run accident on south Mulford. Laksonen was a security guard at Vanmater Clinic. He left the clinic looking for a patient who'd walked off the property. That's when a car going north on Mulford struck and killed him.
"There's a lot of debris out on the road," comments Sgt. Dave Hopkins of the Rockford Police Department.
Police investigators say the debris on the road will be sent to a crime lab to determine exactly what kind of car was involved.
Witnesses describe the car as a dark colored SUV. Police say it may have front end damage, likely to the right side.
"We will be checking body shops to see if anyone has tried getting a car fixed similar to the description," says Hopkins.
It could take several weeks for police to reconstruct the accident scene.
Until investigators hammer out new details into accident, police are calling on the public to come forward with information.

M Zone History Lesson: Michigan versus Iowa
Anyway, although this season is indeed an enjoyable one for the Michigan fan, it can be confusing at times. Things I would ordinarily be doing at this point in the season, I'm not able to do now. There's not much to complain about football-wise—even if the team could improve in some areas—I'm not in a frenzy trying to figure out which teams ranked higher than Michigan need to lose—since there aren't too many of them—and, because there's so much that's wonderful about this year's team, I haven't had to be a typical Michigan fan and reach back into the pages of history to find something good about Michigan to talk about.
Still, I'm a bit of history buff and I just can't resist and this Saturday's game against Iowa provides the perfect opportunity to examine the pasts of both Michigan and Iowa.
I can't even remembered exactly how I stumbled across this, but I was doing that short attention span, stream of consciousness thing that I tend to get sucked into on the internet—you know, you go online to check your checking account balance and end up reading about the Peloponnesian War or hot, young coeds—and the next thing I know I was checking out some old photographs of Tom Harmon in the Bentley Historical Library.
This photograph—with the caption of: "Tom Harmon vs Iowa 1939"—caught my eye so I clicked on it for a larger view.
What was it that caught my eye? It wasn't anything on the field—although it looks like Harmon is likely to have a good run since I count at least seven Iowa players well behind him—it was all those empty seats in the background. It looks more like a photo of a practice than of a game. What's up with that? That's Tom Freakin' Harmon (of Michigan! no less) out there and the stands look three quarters empty. But wait, it gets worse.
The photograph next to it had this caption: "Tom Harmon intercepting a Nile Kinnick pass vs Iowa, 1939." Now, I didn't really read the caption completely but clicked to enlarge that photograph thinking, "that explains it, the game was played in Iowa." Wrong. Once I completely read that caption, I realized the name Nile Kinnick wasn't referring to Iowa's stadium but to Iowa's quarterback at the time.
At this point, I didn't know anything about Nile Kinnick but had to assume that he must have been pretty damn good since Iowa eventually named their stadium after him. Now I'm even more confused since we've got a Heisman Trophy winner and Michigan legend sharing the field with a guy so good he gets a stadium named after him—which sounds to me like a pretty marquee matchup—and there are all those empty seats.
So, I did some checking and found out that, yes, Nile Kinnick was good and in fact won the Heisman Trophy THAT year. He won a bunch of other awards as well, was voted the best male athlete in any sport that year, and is apparently considered the greatest Iowa football player ever. The runner up for that year's Heisman Trophy was none other than Tom Harmon who eventually won it the following year. So, here we have two Heisman Trophy winners and two of the most celebrated athletes for their respective schools going head to head against each other and no one's there to see it.
OK, a few people saw it. The game was actually in Ann Arbor and the official attendance is listed as 28,248. Yes, that's under 30,000 for a game in Michigan Stadium. Boggles the mind doesn't it? Especially considering who's on the field. Today, I don't think the World Wide Leader would let that one slip by without a decent amount of hype. What the hell was wrong with people back then? It's not like Michigan wasn't a big college football school, Michigan had won eight of the eleven mythical national championships by then. You couldn't watch games on television, you could only see clips of games in newsreels at the movies or listen to them on the radio. Was there some sort of Buick Century giveaway going on nearby?
OK, sure, it was the autumn of 1939—14 October to be exact—and people might have been a bit preoccupied with the recent German blitzkrieg of Poland and the fact that the world was about to be plunged into the deadliest most destructive war in all of human history and were maybe just getting over the effects of the Great Depression, but what better way to get you mind off such depressing stuff than attending a college football game? It couldn't have cost more than a nickel to get in back then. And, good seats were definitely available. Talk about a missed opportunity.
And, that game was Iowa's only loss of the season—they also tied one other game—Michigan won 27-7.
As an additional historical footnote, Harmon and Kinnick have a few more things in common than just sharing the field that day or winning the Heisman Trophy. Both went on to become pilots— Harmon for the Army and Kinnick for the Navy—in the Second World War. Their fates, however, would be different. Although, Harmon had to bail out twice—once in training over South America due to weather and once over China due to combat damage—he survived the war with a Purple Heart and a Silver Star. Sadly, Kinnick would not. While on a training mission off the coast of South America, his aircraft developed engine trouble and he was forced to ditch in the ocean. His body was never recovered.
I'm not really sure what the point of all this is—since the game isn't being played in Nile Kinnick Stadium and this is a post more suitable for Memorial Day—but I don't really want to wait until next year to post this. So, now you know a little about the namesake of Iowa's stadium and some history on the Michigan-Iowa game. I'm still extremely puzzled by the ridiculously low attendance for that game—the average attendance that year for all other home games was over 67,000—and just can't imagine so many people passing up an opportunity to see the likes of Nile Kinnick and Tom Harmon play.

Iowa still has the potential to be a very dangerous team. Especially considering that loss to Indiana, which will most likely inspire them to come out with a top nitch performance in hopes of salvaging whats left of their sesaon. But, I know Michigan's gonna fight back...this is the best I've seen them play in years, and they don't show any signs of a letdown. And, I just bought my extremely over priced tickets for that Nov. 18 showdown and I'm flyin all the way from Cali in hopes of a 1 v 2 showdown. I hope they dont let me down...Go Blue!

The post is typically excellent. College football is a wonderful game, and there are elements that intersect with service to our nation, such as the sacrifices that certain players (as well as coaches and fans) have made. We should remember people like Harmon and Kinnick with gratitude -- and hope few will be called on to make similar sacrifices in the future.
- October 18, 2006 3:57 AM
Tom Harmon is an absolute stud among men. I will never get sick of reading the story about him singlehandedly beating OSU (by running, passing, intercepting, and returning kicks for TDs, and handling punts and kickoffs... and coaching both teams, and dotting the i and doing the backbend), then receiving a standing ovation in Columbus for his efforts. Hot damn.
- October 18, 2006 8:40 AM
In 1939 people weren't exactly flush with cash. We were straight off the depression and I'll bet a lot of folks would rather eat than watch a football game.
- October 18, 2006 8:52 AM
Absolutely fascinating post, BPD. And to echo the comments of allaha and jeremy, we all need to recognize the contributions of that particular generation of Americans before they are all gone. They truly changed the world.
Before I read your text, I glanced at the photos and immediately noticed the empty seats! If the average attendance at UM home games that year was 67K, what the hell happened? Was there a state fair nearby? They were very big deals back then.
The Tigers didn't make the World Series that year, and even if they did, the World Series would have been over by Oct. 14 back then.
I'd love to hear the reason for the slim crowd at such an important game.
- October 18, 2006 9:23 AM
Great post.
On the attendance, UM didn't regularly sell out the Big House until the 70s. As late as the 1969 OSU game, the UM athletic department was advertising in Columbus that there were tickets available.
- October 18, 2006 11:26 AM
That's just a damn fine post, BaggyPants. From the photos to the writing to the timing, excellent all the way around. Great job.
I have to say, you've got me very curious about the low attendance at the game. They averaged 67,000 less than 30,000 for that game? Something big must have been in the area. Or maybe they had some kind of "fall break" back then. I'd love to see if you can get some kind of explanation.
And thanks for the information on Kinnick. All I knew was the stadium was named for him. Now I can see why. Gotta say it again: that's a damn fine post.
- October 18, 2006 12:14 PM
my mother-in-law was a student at michigan. she recalls going to a game in 1969 (bo's first year) and being able to straddle the bleacher so that she could do homework during the game. even during the 60s, the stadium wasn't selling out.
she was at the 1969 michigan-tOSU game. still to this day, i don't think she realizes the significance of that game. to her it was just her regular saturday activity - doing her homework at a football game.
- October 18, 2006 12:42 PM
Thanks for the nice column. Just a small nit to pick. Kinnick was actually a halfback, not a quarterback, even though he did most of the passing for the team. It's my understanding that, at that time, the quarterback was more of a blocker than a playmaker. In another side note, Harmon's main blocker in those days was Forest Evashevski, who would later become Iowa's coach and lead them to two Rose Bowls in the 1950s. Here's a link to an ESPN article on Nile Kinnick. His picture is on the coin that is tossed to start every Big Ten game.

I assume Kinnick's face is the "Head" of the coin the Big Ten uses for kickoffs, who's ass is the "Tail?"

Cool post. Nile Kinnick actually worked at the summer camp I've been going to since I was nine. He was an amazing person. As I heard it, he ditched his plane because he determined it would be a risk to the crew of his carrier to attempt to land it in its current condition.
He is also widely thought to have given one of the most eloquent Heisman acceptance speeches ever.
Finally, if you will permit me, I'd like to make a comment which in my mind, is indicative, perhaps, of the greater significance of football and sports emphasis in general in this country, and that is, I thank God I was warring on the gridirons of the Midwest and not on the battlefields of Europe. I can speak confidently and positively that the players of this country would much more, much rather, struggle and fight to win the Heisman award than the Croix de Guerre.
Really puts to shame the mubling and shout-outs that go on today.
- October 18, 2006 1:32 PM
Great post. I am fascinated with early football history and have researched several NFL seasons in the past. I remember doing 1940 and while going through all the newspaper accounts for the pro games, there was Tom Harmon plastered all over the place because of his dominance that year in college football. Have you all seen the pictures of Harmon against Cal where a fan ran on the field and tried to tackle him? They broke it down into frames - the fan is in position to make the tackle, Harmon eludes him with ease, the fan falls and finally he is subdued by the police. Hysterical!
- October 18, 2006 1:32 PM
Pat Mobley: thanks for the link to Kinnick's speech. You are absolutely right in saying it is incomparably more eloquent than almost anything we hear today.

I can't tell from the picture. Are the fans shaking their keys? It was probably louder back then than it is now.

An interesting fact I learned about Tom Harmon while looking at IMDB....Tom Harmon is the grandfather of the Nelson twins!!! How could a band so BAD spring forth from the loins of someone so great???
- October 18, 2006 5:41 PM
Actually Tom Harmon would have been an in-law to the Nelsons. His wife Elyse Knox is the -quote from IMDB.com - "Mother-in-law of actress Pam Dawber ...(son Mark Harmon's wife)..., actor/singer Ricky Nelson and John DeLorean."
Anyway - nice article - I love college football history!
- October 18, 2006 7:11 PM

Straight from IMDB about Matthew Nelson:
Son of Ricky Nelson and Kristin Harmon
Grandson of Ozzie Nelson and Harriet Hilliard. Brother of Tracy Nelson, Gunnar Nelson, and Sam Nelson. Nephew of David Nelson, Mark Harmon, and Kelly Harmon. His maternal grandparents are the football great (and later sport broadcaster) Tom Harmon, and the 1940s "B" movie actress Elyse Knox.

I had read before about Nile Kinnick. The All-American kid and all. A lot of folks who knew him had said that if he had'nt died so young he would have been President, probably sometime in the 60's or 70's. Too bad. That would have meant no Nixon. Nice story.

Very nice post. I always enjoy historical pictures, especially of Michigan Football. Great stuff.
- October 18, 2006 7:50 PM
Phenominal post. This is what makes "real" college football great. Tradition, Respect, Competition. All the things a lot of programs (Guess a few) have no clue about. Kinnick was a class act like most players of the era and many now (but not all). Nice to know more about IU's stadium's namesake.
- October 18, 2006 11:20 PM
I think that was a huge day in the run-up to WW II. Perhaps the day that Great Briton realized a big war was on - and Americans knew we were soon to follow? (Not a historian - help me out fellas - I'm dying out here!)

Great post and great site. I'm a Hawkeye fan, but I check out your articles every week, no matter who you are playing.
Thanks for the history lesson on Kinnick and Harmon. It really puts everything in perspective.

Hearts are set to sign Liverpool striker Michael Ngoo on loan until the end of the season, reports Sky Sports.
The 20-year-old is yet to make a first-team appearance for the Reds, but is a regular in the Merseyside club's U21 side.
Brendan Rodgers is ready to let Ngoo leave Anfield on a short-term deal, as the player looks to continue his development with an opportunity for regular football.
Hearts manager John McGlynn has already brought in Danny Wilson on loan from Liverpool and has raided the Premier League giants again to secure Ngoo's signature.
The Scottish Premier League club are currently operating under transfer restrictions that stipulate they can only register U21 players, so a deal for another of Liverpool's up-and-coming Academy products could prove to be good business for the Edinburgh-based outfit.
Hearts are currently struggling in ninth in the SPL, with 26 points from 22 games, sitting precariously three places above the relegation zone.
However, Tynecastle fans can look forward to a Scottish League Cup semi-final clash against Inverness Caledonian Thistle this coming weekend, before a midweek visit of basement boys Dundee next Wednesday.

Hi all! New guy here just so you know.
I'm stuck and I need help.
I'm working a percent larger problem.
I have an original cell. I have to find how much larger the consecutive cells are. The percentage is 6.3. Every succeeding cell is 6.3% larger than the previous.
When I solve for the second cell I use x + .063x = x If I substitute 10 for x the second cell = 10.63. The third cell then is 10.63 + .063(10.63)= 11.29 Yes? No?
But when I consider any two consecutive cells and attempt to find the percent smaller of a previous cell the percent is approx. 5.9%. The book says this is correct but how is it possible?
Now I have 18 cells to consider. The book is telling me that the 18th cell is going to about 2.85 times larger than the original cell. Fine. They ask if (1.06) to the 18th power or (1.06) to the 19th power describes the relative size of the 18th cell to the original. I know the answer is (1.06) to the 18th but why? .063 to the 18th power is no where close.

It's not uncommon for folks to have Charles Dickens on their minds this time of year.
But while most are conjuring images of the author's famed Christmas Carol, Joe Urban checked in to share A Tale of Two Cities.
Quite simply, it is literally the best and worst of times for him and his Zing Studios. Just as they were celebrating All That Remains' number 13 Billboard debut of A War You Cannot Win—a disc recorded in the Westfield facility—news came that fellow Zing band Maker almost met its Maker on the way to a gig in Texas.
"The band lost control of their Chevrolet Suburban on the way to a show in Texas, and the vehicle flipped, ejecting and injuring two people," Urban, Zing's business manager, reports. "A crew member was hospitalized in critical condition."
The post by guitarist Eric Soucy on the band's Facebook page (facebook.com/makerma) adds that the band is currently accepting donations through its Paypal account at email@example.com.
"We're trying to raise money to help pay hospital bills and buy a new vehicle," Soucy says. "Any help is appreciated."
As of press time, the band has planned on continuing its current tour with Major League and Turnover. The closest local play on the remaining leg of that is a Dec. 21 stop at Hartford's Webster Theater Underground.
In other news, Bright Lights Music founder Judy Lemay reports that an unexpected illness also derailed a "Christmas in Connecticut" dinner show she had recently planned—and the Crawler recently plugged—just about a month ago.
"The Skyline [the Windsor Locks venue hosting the event] had to do tons of refunds and [noted area crooner] Jimmy Mazz had flown in from Florida special for it," she laments. "I was thinking I should get out of town. But Jimmy is the consummate gentleman and The Skyline gang are sweet and accommodating, so we're going to give it another shot!"
The rescheduled show is slated for Dec. 16 and will once again feature Mazz and a buffet meal for $39 per person. For more information on the show or to reserve a table, kindly point your browser to brightlightsmusic.com.
Not to be outdone, Noho's Iron Horse (iheg.com) will play host to a night of Irish Christmas in America on Dec. 18. Now in its eighth season, the annual offering infuses a mix of Irish music, stories, solstice celebrations and sing-alongs with traditional fiddle tunes, carols and step dancing.
"One of the most heartfelt themes of Irish Christmas is emigration," notes show creator/Sligo County fiddler Oisin Mac Diarmada. "Music was a way that people stayed close to home."
Joining Mac Diarmada are West Kerry accordionist Seamus Begley, Irish harpist Grainne Hambly, flutist/bagpiper Sean Gavin and dancer Brian Cunningham, to name a choice few.
Tix are $25 in advance, $30 at the door.
And, since we're (Iron) horsin' around, a singer-songwriter with strong ties to the Valley—Dar Williams—celebrates her recently released ninth studio effort, In The Time Of Gods, with not one but two Iron Horse shows this weekend (Dec. 14 and 15). According to Williams, each of the 10 tunes on the disc is about a different god from Greek mythology. Both shows start at 7 p.m. with $30 advance/$35 door admission prices.
Last but least, as promised, another stocking stuffer for the aspiring virtuoso in your life.
What do you a call a person who hangs out with musicians? A drummer. And a drummer without a girlfriend? Homeless. There are a million musician jokes, and humorist Hal Leonard has culled some 500-plus of his favorites for The Musician's Ultimate Joke Book—available at amazon.com for approximately $10. From Chopin to Lennon, Gilles to Presley, Lennon's barbs spare no one—the perfect thing to pass the time when you're waiting for the guitar player to tune up or the singer to show up.•

The Vancouver Canucks hope to rebound from their most lopsided loss of the season on Tuesday night as they play host to the Phoenix Coyotes.
Taking aim at a third straight victory in the what was the finale of a four- game road trip, the Canucks were blasted by the Detroit Red Wings 8-3 despite a fast start.
Daniel Sedin scored twice during a three-goal first period and Chris Higgins also lit the lamp to give Vancouver a one-goal edge after 20 minutes, but Detroit tallied three power-play goals in the second period and another three at even strength in the final frame.
"Definitely not the outcome we were looking for," said Canucks coach Alain Vigneault. "We came out fairly well. We were making their (defense) turn, trying to play north-south real quick so to not give them any transition.
"It was 3-2 for us after the first period and after that it went sideways."
The Canucks gave up a season high in goals, surpassing a season-opening 7-3 defeat to the Anaheim Ducks on Jan. 19.
Henrik Sedin added two assists, while Roberto Luongo fought through 60 minutes of work and allowed all eight goals on 28 shots. It was Luongo's first loss in regulation this season, falling to 5-1-3 with a 2.11 goals against average and .916 save percentage.
Vancouver played without defenseman Kevin Bieksa, who suffered a strained groin in Friday's 1-0 win at Nashville, while forward David Booth also sat out because of illness.
The Coyotes wrap a three-game swing on Tuesday hoping to salvage a game on their trip through Western Canada. They had a two-game swing streak snapped with Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss in Edmonton prior to Sunday's 5-4 setback in Calgary.
Phoenix failed to finish strong in either game. It blew a two-goal lead versus the Oilers before allowing the Flames to score twice in the final 1:23 of regulation the following day. Calgary scored two goals 23 seconds apart to stun Phoenix.
"We stopped playing and you can't stop playing against those guys over there," forward Raffi Torres said.
Torres had two goals, while Nick Johnson and Michael Stone also lit the lamp. Mike Smith stopped 26-of-31 shots faced as the Coyotes fell to 4-2-1 in their past seven games.
Both Radim Vrbata (lower body) and Martin Hanzal (upper body) sat out the most recent loss and remain day-to-day.
The Coyotes and Canucks meet for the first of three encounters this season after splitting four contests in 2011-12. Phoenix is 3-0-1 in its past four in Vancouver.

Most international flights to Norway land in the capital city of Oslo, but the country is also served by a number of other international airports:
The country also has plenty of smaller regional airports, which means that you can reach almost anywhere in Norway by transferring onto a domestic flight with SAS at one of the country's major terminals.Once there, you'll be spoiled by the choice of places to go and things to do. Oslo is the most popular city in the country and with good reason. Culture lovers can enjoy the Viking ships housed in the Vikingskiphuset, Kon-Tiki Museum, Edvard Munch Museum, and the artistic wonders found in the Vigeland Sculpture Park.The city also boasts a busy nightlife, with key attractions being the Opera House, Herr Nilsen Jazzklubb, and the popular Fuglen cocktail bar. On top of that, Oslo is also home to some of the best restaurants in Norway, which offer a selection of traditional and international cuisine.Outside the capital, the cities of Bergen, Stavanger, Tromsø, and Trondheim are also extremely popular, with the latter being home to the stunning Nidaros Cathedral – the largest medieval stone building in northern Europe.Despite the attractions of Norway's towns and cities, most people are drawn to the countryside to experience the stunning landscapes, and the wide variety of outdoor pursuits on offer.If you want to take to the slopes, Norway's most popular ski resorts are found in Hemsedal and Trysil. Both are located in southern Norway, as are most of the country's other skiing hotspots.However, if you're planning a holiday in northern Norway, ski slopes can also be found at Tromsø, Lofoten and Narvik, so you're never too far from the piste.If you want to experience the majesty of the fjords, the vast majority are located in the western and northern parts of the country. However, if you're visiting southern Norway, there are large fjords located near a few of the major cities – the Oslofjord south of the capital, Boknafjord north of Stavanger and Hardangerfjord south of Bergen.The fjords truly are a sight to behold and any Norwegian holiday would be incomplete without a glimpse of these ancient glacial inlets.
For winter enthusiasts who love to ski, Norway is a beautiful country filled with many great sights, both natural and man-made. It is a northern country that experiences heavy snowfall every winter. This heavy snowfall makes Norway one of the best destinations for skiing trips. There are many great mountains, resorts and skiing ranges available to skiers of all levels. Don't forget to research each location carefully before you decide on the destination where you want to ski.
One of the most famous of all Norwegian ski ranges is the range in Lillehammer. Lillehammer made a name for itself as the host for the 1994 Winter Olympics. Lillehammer is located near Lake Mjøsa, which is Norway's largest lake. The Lillehammer area is home to many great downhill and cross country skiing experiences, including Sjusjoen and a ski jump at Lysgardsbakkene.It is also located close to the Olympic Museum, rock carvings, the Nansen Academy and the nearly 1000-year-old Garmo stave church. Lillehammer is not only an excellent skiing location, but an excellent all-around tourist destination for all seasons.
Hemsedal is a small Norwegian town that is known as the Scandinavian Alps. The mountains around this area elevate the skiing area from 2050 to 6300 feet high, making this one of the highest skiing ranges in Norway. It is also one of the busiest, as the snowy season in Hemsedal can stretch from November right through to May, giving tourists over half a year of skiing fun.Chairlifts help take skiers to the top of the mountain. Hemsedal also caters to younger and more adventurous tourists with a snowboard park. Kiddie parks are also available, including supervised play areas and skiing instructions. Dog sledding and horse sleigh rides are available for those interested in a less extreme form of winter fun.
Kvitfjell is a more relaxed skiing resort that focuses on exploring the landscapes of Norway at a slower pace. This resort is perfect for tourists that want to ski without being competitive or serious about it. Cross country skiing tours are a focus of much of Kvitfjell activities.Other activities for patrons of Kvitfjell include dog sledding and ice climbing. Food is prepared at camp and delivered directly to your lodge or wherever you are located during any skiing activity.
Last but certainly not least, Geilo ski resort offers patrons access to two different ski locations. This southern Norwegian town offers downhill, cross country, snowboarding and dog sledding as well as many off-slope activities such as group parties and meetings.Another interesting aspect of Geilo is their focus on "kite skiing." This sport focuses on skiers using a large kite to pull them across the terrain. Geilo is one of the premiere ski kiting locations.Obviously, Norway is an excellent spot for skiing. There are many other ranges and towns to visit. Next time you want to take a serious skiing expedition, why not fly SAS to Norway and have some fun skiing.

People who sleep soundly often take the ubiquitous activity for granted. They are unfamiliar with the endless wakeful nights of the tormented insomniac. But most people have experienced insomnia at least once in their lives—a terrible night when no amount of tiredness can shut down an active brain. I've had many of these nights in my life. They often happen in times of stress, when my troubles occupy my thoughts. It took a few years of regular insomnia before I started really researching possible causes, from my diet to my brand of foam mattress. I was surprised to find some clear criminals among the commonly-used substances in my daily life. I didn't realize that my lifestyle choices were sabotaging my sleep! They may be sabotaging yours too. Here are some common culprits.

King of comedy and social influence Bill Cosby believes happiness is the ultimate indicator of success. He will bring his comedy and life stories to the Union Colony Civic Center for a sold-out show Sunday, Jan. 27.
"If you don't tie in happy, I don't see where the success is," Cosby said in a recent video interview at BillCosby.com. "So for me, am I happy? Yes."
Beginning as a kid from the Philly projects, Cosby's career encompasses 50 years of entertainment across all genres of media. From stand up comedy to racial barrier breaking television, Cosby's messages challenge racism, socio-economic statuses and even government. He has also published a few life experience books and humor books.
UCCC Director Mark Breimhorst brought Cosby in for this show because he is a cultural icon that audiences relate to personally.
"You would think it would be a baby boomer's kind of show," Breimhorst said. "But there are a lot of young people who are great fans and want tickets. Cosby is timeless and just so human. He relates to people on a very basic level. He keeps going strong."
UCCC Marketing Coordinator Andy Segal watched tickets for this local show sell out within the first few weeks of availability last fall. The UCCC has worked to bring Cosby in for a few years now. Cosby was last in Greeley a little over one decade ago.
"It has been an ongoing thing, and for the last couple of years, it hasn't happened," Segal said. "There are a lot of logistics involved with a big star like this. The bigger the star the harder it is. Luckily it did work out this year."
Cosby's active social media presence speaks to his flexibility of entertainment and his staying power to influence new generations. Every day Cosby fans on Twitter re-tweet his quotes and respond to the comedic bits his team posts.
His live performance will reflect these life tidbits woven into a happy perspective of life, inspiring the Northern Colorado audience to see the light side of family, relationships, work and every sphere of influence encountered.
"One of the things that he is known for is he has a very dry sense of humor," Segal said. "His topics range from personal stuff about him and people he has encountered along the way and family. Those seem to be the main areas. He loves to talk about his kids and families."

Last October, Sarah Hesson was enjoying an ordinary fall when, in no time, her world changed.
Sarah found a lump in her breast but casually ignored its significance. Like many, she thought it was nothing, hoped it was nothing. While it grew and became more painful, a few close friends encouraged her to have it examined by her doctor.
First there was an ultra sound, a mammogram and then a biopsy.
On Oct. 16, 2012, Sarah was diagnosed with lobular cancer.
"I remember I was going to pick my kids up from tutoring that day, and I was driving to there. It was the radiologist from my biopsy on the phone, and he talked really fast. I remember him saying, 'You have lubular cancer,'" Sarah said.
Treatment started with eight rounds of chemotherapy — four hour-and-a-half long sessions in Newton and four four-hour sessions at John Staddard Cancer Center in Des Moines under the watch of a doctor.
In Newton, Dr. Tom Buroker provided Sarah with care, assistance and reassurance.
"He was the best," she said. "He always kept your spirits up and never let you believe that anything was going to go bad."
Although everyone's journey is different, Sarah said her chemo treatment was easier than her radiation treatment.
On March 22 of this year, after her chemotherapy was through, Sarah had a double mastectomy.
"They always say they have to take both because they say the chance that cancer will come back in the other breast is 70 percent," she said.
Since Sarah had no family history of breast cancer, she took a mutation test and found out that she was a carrier of the cancer gene. Due to her higher risk, she knew what decision she had to make.
In April, just one month later, Sarah began the strenuous and painful journey of radiation in Des Moines.
The treatment consisted of 33 daily rounds of radiation that lasted every day Monday through Friday until May 23, and it wasn't easy.
"It was like you'd been out in the sun on the hottest day you could remember, and you were just so tired and overheated with no energy," Sarah said of the radiation. "It just zaps you. It zaps your energy. It was harder to get motivation and keep a positive mindset."
While Sarah was going through chemo and radiation, she was able to connect with other people going through the same situation. They had something in common.
One woman started chemo the same day Sarah did in Newton, and then she ran into her down the road at John Stoddard Cancer Center in Des Moines. Sarah always wondered how she ended up doing. Recently, she said she happened to see her at Walmart and was relieved to know she was okay.
One man, an older gentleman she became friends with at John Stoddard, was there every day at the same time as she was. They all wore stocking hats in the waiting room, and he came in one day with a funny, colorful hat with flowers. She said she'll never forget that day and his spirit.
Throughout Sarah's treatments, she credits her family, friends and work — people like her long-time boyfriend Don Cole, her children, her parents and her aunts — for their continual support and love.
Her aunt Judy Barr was able to provide Sarah with guidance and expectations about reconstructive surgery because she had gone through it in the past, and her aunt Barb Barr, who helped take her to nearly every radiation treatment in Des Moines, was a consistent support system as well.
Barb prepared for their first road trip to Des Moines by putting a bucket and towel in her car just in case Sarah needed it. She never did, but they both got a laugh due to Barb coming so prepared.
"Through the process, we got closer, and it was a good time. That's what you do when you love someone," Barb shared. "She had a really hard year, but I'm glad that it's over."
Her parents were also there for Sarah, providing her with love and strength.
The hardest part of Sarah's journey over the last year, she said, was after she noticed a big chunk of hair come out in the shower one morning after five rounds of chemo. She decided to have it shaved off and she went directly to her mother. Sarah insisted it was time, and the two shared the moment of Pauline shaving Sarah's head. It was another decision no one wanted to make, and it forced her to adjust to a new, harsher reality at the time.
"It was a hard adjustment for me and for my family here at home to see me like that. I still look back at pictures," she said.
Sarah grew up in Newton, and it is the town she calls home. She is the daughter of Steve and Pauline Hesson and is a CNA at Newton Health Care Center. She is a mother, spouse and caretaker.
"She is truly a hard worker," said Roz Drella, director of nursing at Newton Health Care Center.
She and Don have four children: Adriana, 14; Grant, 13; Brandon, 5; and Courtney, 3.
Sarah was working at Newton Health Care Center when she was diagnosed, and she expressed gratefulness for their support during that year. Not only did they happily hold her position until she was through with cancer, but they were there for her with support and encouragement.
"She's a great employee and we value the tremendous way she adds compassion care to our residents' lives," Roz said. "We definitely kept in touch with her because not only do we value her, but most importantly, our residents value her."
Every six months, Sarah goes back to have her blood work drawn.
"You kinda forget about having cancer, and then you go back and hope to God that you make it out of there."
Now life is fairly back to normal for Sarah. She went back to work on Sept. 9, which she admits made her slightly nervous.
The staff and residents were thrilled to have Sarah back, and after her shift they had a surprise for her — a cake party, a room of smiles and an applause for her return.
"It was nice to be back with them because we're like their second family," Sarah said.
Sarah's family was her guiding light throughout her fight. Her children kept her positive and distracted from dwelling, and Don remained a strong source to come home to.
"I want to tell Don, 'Thank you,' because I don't think I ever told him he was a huge support. Thank you for being strong for our family and for me.'"
After a remarkable, long a unknowing year, Sarah has been free and cleared of cancer, as her blood work came back negative.
"I felt good through the whole thing," she said. "I know some people have a hard time, and I was blessed I got through it and feeling good."
"You always think that 'it's not going to happen to me,' and then one day it does," she explained. "It has made me a strong person, that I battled through that. Now, I have a mindset that whatever I want to do in life I can do. I know more than ever that life is too short. You never know what each day will bring."

We are in a renaissance of documentary filmmaking: filmmakers are taking artistic risks, experimenting with form and creating incredible work. Sarah Polley'sStories We Tell and Joshua Oppenheimer's Oscar-nominated The Act of Killing are just two examples of critically acclaimed documentaries that have blurred the line between documentary and fiction in recent years, pushing viewers to reexamine how they define documentary.
Meanwhile, services like Netflix, Hulu, iTunes and Snag Films are making a wider range of documentary film available to the public than ever before. Has this increased accessibility contributed to a shift in perception of what a documentary can be? Are filmmakers and viewers alike adopting a more flexible definition of the form, where films do not have to follow certain rules? Can documentaries defy categorization and ultimately become another way to tell a good story?
Pushing the Boundaries will showcase three films that challenge the traditional documentary form by employing narrative or experimental techniques. These filmmakers are working outside of conventional documentary labels; the focus shifts from the label to the story. We will discuss the definition of documentary, hybrid, narrative and experimental film, the line between documentary and fiction, and the history of experimental and narrative techniques in documentary filmmaking.
Iva Radivojevic is a director, producer and editor who creates work that explores the theme of identity, migration and immigrants. Radivojevic's films have been screened on PBS, the Documentary Channel, New York Times Op-Docs and Toronto's HotDocs Film Festival. Her collaborative film Matthew 24:14 won the 2011 International Documentary Challenge competition for Best Director, Best Film and Best Use of Genre. Filmmaker Magazine named her one of 25 New Faces of Independent Film in 2013. Radivojevic will be representing her first feature length documentary Evaporating Borders, which was a featured selection at this year's Rotterdam Film Festival and will have its U.S. premiere at this year's South by Southwest Film Festival.
Lynne Sachs makes films, videos, installations and web projects that explore the relationship between personal observations and broader historical experiences. Since 1994, her five essay films have taken her to Vietnam, Bosnia, Israel and Germany - sites affected by international war - where she tries to work in the space between a community's collective memory and her own subjective perceptions. Since 2006, she has collaborated with her partner Mark Street in a series of playful, mixed-media performance collaborations called the XY Chromosome Project. Sachs' films have been screened at the MoMA, New York Film Festival, Sundance Film Festival and Buenos Aires Film Festival. Sachs will be representing her film Your Day is My Night, a verité hybrid documentary about a household of immigrants living together in a shift-bed apartment in New York City's Chinatown.
Leslie Tai is a second generation Chinese American filmmaker hailing from San Francisco, California. She earned her filmmaking chops in the underground Chinese documentary world as a student of Wu Wenguang, a founding figure of the New Chinese Documentary Movement. Tai received a U.S. Fulbright Scholarship to make her first feature-length documentary in China. She will be representing The Private Life of Fenfen, which follows a Chinese woman born in a small rural village who keeps a video diary for three years. The film is part of this year's Documentary Fortnight and will be screening at the Museum of Modern Art at 8pm on both Monday, February 24th and Thursday, February 27th.
Marian Masone, Moderator, is Associate Director of Programming for the Film Society of Lincoln Center. She is a member of the Selection Committee for the New York Film Festival and New Directors/New Films. She also organizes new and retrospective series as well as ongoing programs at the Film Society's Walter Reade Theater and Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center.

Peter Micciche has a number of jobs, so when Skyview High School invited him to speak to a career pathways class, he had plenty to talk about.
Students heard about his role as Soldotna Mayor, Senator-elect, Conoco Phillips Plant Manager and as a commercial fishermen, then asked him how he spends his time.
"The most important thing that I did today was to meet with a company called ENSTAR," Micciche said. "We have an impending shortage of natural gas in the Cook Inlet ... if we were to have to supplement with diesel at some point that would increase the cost dramatically and many businesses that are now barely making it would no longer be able to make it."
Stephanie Dolan, 15, asked Micciche about his least favorite part of being mayor.
"I think that things that can be frustrating are opportunities to bring people together," Micciche said.
He turned it around when another student asked a similar questions.
"What is your most frustrating class?" he said.
When she responded with one word: "Math," Micciche laughed.
"When you conquer math you'll be able to look back at that frustration and think of it as an opportunity because it's important in everything you do," he said. "I'm not the kind of person that becomes frustrated and walks away from problems."
After the class, several students said they weren't sure if they aspired to any of Micciche's jobs, but had ideas of what they wanted to do.
Dolan, a freshman who introduced herself as "I'm interesting," before continuing on to talk about why she could not currently get a job because of her age, said he wanted to be an interior designer.
Jesse Meier, 14, said he wanted to fish, but wasn't sure if he could pursue it as a career.
"I like doing a whole bunch of things," he said. "I would like to be a doctor, be in sports, but I really like cooking, so I want to be a chef," he said.
Several students said the class was required for graduation and said they were exploring ways to get into college or go into a career upon graduating.
Micciche told them they could try several kinds of jobs to figure out what they liked, or didn't like.
"I never want to be a waiter again," he said.
"I am not good at that kind of service."
But other jobs, he said, such as his time a restaurant owner, landlord and house painter gave him valuable insight into industry.
"I think the most important thing is to be the one that guides your own way and not get pushed in a direction because of bad decisions," he said.

Since we are transparent... we have an ASIC issue. We have to do a "metal spin", as apposed to a full re-spin, and it will set our program back about 30 days. I hate delays more than anyone, but we need to be open about the good news and the bad news.
What we are doing is something that no once else is doing... and it is difficult. We have had more than our share of luck... but reality has hit us.
This is not a major setback... but it is newsworthy.
Complain if you will. We are working as hard as we can and reporting what is real. I'd love to wave a magic wand over this but it is what it is.

Zotero - is awesome - Firefox plugin
+1 informative but I have no mod points
I really like Zotero for web research - and if everything comes from the web, it can be great. What I don't like is that, aside from Zotero, there's no real good way to access the files from other software (for example, opening Adobe Acrobat and searching through the tagged files in Zotero to find that PDF that I know I have). In order to access stuff, I need to go into Zotero as my file manager first. Then there's the backup issues, data migration issues, and what happens when my Zotero database is over
dude, you make some good points but DVDs have been obsolete for like 10 years. A 32Gb thumb drive goes for like 30 bucks these days.
What is the longest you've had a thumb drive last?
Personal Brain [theatlantic.com].
does what you need and then some.
Sharepoint is utter crap if it cannot understand the file you are putting on it. Which incidentally would be anything not MS Office.
Heh, the only way I've ever been able to tolerate having to use any version of Sharepoint is to open a document library in IE, and then click on some dropdown to change it to explorer view, and then create and right click on a folder and select explore in a new window. Then it opens up in File Explorer, where I bookmark/favorite it so I don't have to deal with the atrocious "information blackhole" Sharepoint web interface, and I can easily drag / drop / delete entire folders using the File Explorer interfa
As a SharePoint admin for three years, I can definitely say, without any kind of reservation, that it is utter crap.
Now don't get me wrong, the idea of SharePoint is great. But it is badly designed (the users can't find any document they need) and badly implemented (loosing data is unacceptable).
If you need a document management system, I advice anyone to use SharePoint for a few months and then switch to another system. You'll appreciate your new system so much more that way...
I just threw up a little in my series of tubes.
Sharepoint is hardly FOSS, though. If you want that kind of solution, DSpace is a more logical starting point.
How about OWL? http://owl.anytimecomm.com/ [anytimecomm.com]
Yes you need to install a webserver on your system but it really does work very well.
I have a Mac and it's not the greatest OS, but I love the search. I search all my old emails and a horde of other documents all the time.
I'm sure other computers can do this just fine, but I was never satisfied with a desktop search implementation until OS X. And I used to be a search index consultant.
I second that. You can add metadata (Spotlight comments) to any file, and that metadata is searchable, so if you're thinking of tagging files, that's easy.
Sounds like you're describing a directory tree. Search with grep, or any similar utility. Put files in multiple categories (appropriately named directories) using ln. It's cross platform, timeless, and seems to do what you describe. I feel like I'm missing something though.
No, but Directories/Folders as low level storage (the files have to exist somewhere) and a layer on top of that which can provide metadata tagging, searching, views etc. is. KDE4 with Nepomuk (http://nepomuk.kde.org/) seems to provide much of what the OP asked for.
Directories/Folders are not a substitute for documents tagged with meta data
Why not? It works for me. It's pretty easy to have a script parse, e.g., your MP3s ID3 tags and link them to the appropriate directory.
Not too mention you can't create views
That's what 'find' is for.
Because that's not a proper document management solution.
Nevertheless, it can work quite well, depending on your needs. I manage large numbers of files that way, with separate index files handling the metadata. Grep is very fast for simple keyword and pattern searches, even on index files with ~100,000 records, so there's no reason even to use a DBMS (I don't need complex queries). Scripting for special purposes is simple and straightforward, and backups are a breeze, using nothing but rsync. No special-purpose software needed, beyond what comes with the OS.
To ea
The file manager may not be great but if it isn't up to the task then that really needs that the file manager needs an update.
All sorts of sometimes mutually exclusive bits of software that try to organize one bit of information or the other really doesn't cut it.
If you have a good "primary key" that's generally useful most of the time, you can "get by" even with just a simple file manger. In truth, most n00bs probably aren't industrious enough to really make a good multi-key approach work. It would require
ln -s
Directory for each meta data tag. Directory for each view.
Directory FOR EVERYTHING!
I kid, I kid.
Emacs Org-Mode [orgmode.org]. I've learned a little Emacs syntax just to use that package after I've being a Vim user for over 15 years.
Emacs Org-Mode [orgmode.org]. I've learned a little Emacs syntax just to use that package after I've being a Vim user for over 15 years.
A bit more: Org-mode allows to define text documents with smart headings and lists. You can insert links, equations, store file attached to a heading. It is cross-platform and you can export your documents to, among other options, html or latex-pdf. You can flags items as TODO or attribute a "done" time or a "todo" time.
Org-Mode files are plain text, but there is extensive support for inline tables/spreadsheets and images and even code blocks. For example, you can keep data from an experiment in a table, do some analysis for which one would normally use Excel, and then plot and display a graph based on the data in one document. That takes care of a lot of files right there, because many tasks can be incorporated into the org file organically.
Another great feature is the Org-Agenda which defaults do displaying date-based in
(One person has already mentioned Evernote, but that's a "cloud-based" application for some unknown reason, and I would have privacy concerns.)
Evernote notebooks don't have to be synchronized to the cloud, you can have local-only notebooks if you have sensitive data. Just make sure to back it up; I use their script engine to perform regular dumps to a network backup location.
There's an app for that. [wikipedia.org]
Also, to elaborate on your specific requirement for "multiple categorisations", and so that I might save myself from a "smart-ass" mod, here's a possible suggestion: http://www.tagsistant.net/ [tagsistant.net] It's a tagging file system. You didn't specify which operating system you were on, but this works with Linux/BSD. Not quite mature, but I could see it potentially going places. At the very least, the idea of implementing tags directly in the filesystem might trickle up to extfs or NTFS or hfs+ eventually.
The OP specified cross platform compatibility. Linux/BSD is probably not going to be enough. However, I'd imagine that it would be easy enough to get it running under OSX. I'm not sure how easy it would be to get this running on Windows though.
Personally, this looks like something I'm going to have to keep my eye on as my main OSes are Linux and FreeBSD.
This is actually what OneNote [wikipedia.org] -- the oft overlooked/maligned offering from MS -- is designed to do, and it does it pretty well believe it or not. Technically it's aimed at collaboration, but there's no reason it can't work equally well for self-organization.

Looks like that would be a good fit, except for the requirements that it be open source and cross platform that is.
Right, except those are ideals, not requirements.
OneNote is available for Windows, Mac and iPhone. The iPhone version is curretly free.
OneNote is part of Office which is available for a 60 day free trial.
OneNote is the best thing since sliced bread for what this guy wants to do. It is especially useful if you need (want) sync'd data on two or more devices.
+1 iusethistoo
Evernote [evernote.com] has clients for OSX, IOS, Android, Blackberry, Windows Mobile, Palm, and the web. OCRs images you put in it. Syncs between your devices transparently. All clients are free but there's a max of like 60M/mo transfer; if you want to exceed that it's $45/year.
I haven't put alllll my data in it and probably never will but for reference material and general notes? It's kinda where everything goes now.
It was ahead of its time. It's gone the way of the personal flying car, not the buggy
OpenKM will do most of what you want. We've deployed it for clients who have been happy with it. It does not preserve the underlying filesystem, but you can upload a ZIP file of documents.
It's a tomcat app - that used to be heavy-duty - if it is today depends on what kind of machine you're using.
Would be a file system. Run something like Beagle for full text/metadata search. Use hard links to keep a single file under multiple folders.
called secretaries, now they want to be known as administrative assistants.....
I use VisiCalc because I'm down like that...
Many thanks for all the informative replies so far. I've had a quick glance at Evernote, thebrain, Nepomuk (I'm loving KDE4 so far after switching a week or so ago), OpenKM and FreeMind and these seem promising. I've still to look at emacs' org-mode, and when I do I will try to put my vi prejudices aside
I like the idea of some of the "roll your own" ideas, eg directories + hard links, serving from a web server or wiki. The problem is as I progress though the medical degree, I am likely to have decreasing amounts of time to tinker with things if they have shortcomings; and to be honest they probably will as I am unlikely to have thought through the problem fully! Plus third-party solutions will definitely have substantially more polish than anything hastily dreamt up by me!
A shared wiki for my cohort / medical school / country may be an option on top of whatever comes out of this discussion, but I'd like something personal as... ah, let's say medical students have wildly varying standards of what is acceptable for notes
My supplementary questions for anyone still wanting to chip in:
Thanks again for the helpful replies, Slashdot. You continue to impress me - I doubt I would have gotten such a useful variety of responses elsewhere. I hope this discussion is useful to other folk looking for something similar.
I am a researcher. I want to add my vote for "file system." The less interaction you do with most of this material, the better off you'll be. For me, important or useful material goes into a reference manager. Those files get tagged in the reference manager. At this point in my career--only four years in--that's just under 600 articles with accompanying pages of notes. Other stuff goes into folders based on broad categories. I don't do any tagging on these because find-by-content always does the job just fine. Avoid the extra work. You're not paid to be a secretary. And most of the organizing won't pay off, will become an end in itself.
Thanks, it's good to be aware of the payoff of pre-organising things (a la putting in frameworks in programs that will never need it) before embarking on something like this. You also reminded me of something I wanted to put in my follow up: The reason I wanted multiple categorisations or tags is that some things do fall under more than one category. I'm a medical student, so I'll give you an example: Malaria. Does that come under:
(ie where was that paper by Doe et al from 2007 on the effects of foo in vivo)
Don't you have a medical librarian for that sort of thing?
I'm a lawyer and I never once have regretted tossing out any piece of paper that can easily be located in the library or on Westlaw. If you save all that stuff, you will spend more time saving it than you spend using it and, even then, it will be harder to find it when you need it than it would be if you just went back to the library.
The most important knowledge winds up in your head or can be found in a few important reference works. For everything
Why not use OneNote with either a local folder, a personal server or even a cloud-based Skydrive? It will gobble up everything you have and allow you to search, organize, etc.

Unfortunately OneNote seems to be Windows-only, and I'm spending ever-decreasing amounts of time using Windows. It's undoubtedly a good suggestion for everyone who does though
You seem to have missed Zotero [zotero.org] (it's up there in the comments somewhere) which is a FOSS plugin for firefox.

You seem to have missed Zotero [zotero.org] (it's up there in the comments somewhere) which is a FOSS plugin for firefox. It keeps an offline database, and for nearly any site (e.g. journals) you click one button on the URL bar and it downloads the citation including full pdf so you can read it whenever. It will also let you perform full text searches of your database, and can be configured to perform OCR on scanned documents. Best of all, it's trivial to make bibtex (or many other formats) bibliographies.
I use that in combination with TiddlyWiki [tiddlywiki.com] for personal typed notes not associated with a journal article/textbook, and Xournal [sourceforge.net] for annotating documents and taking notes with my tablet computer. When annotating documents (textbooks, journal articles) just configure xournal as your pdf viewer and you'll be able to save every annotation you make. TiddlyWiki has a ton of plugins to do whatever you need, including a GTD [nathanbowers.com] (Getting Things Done -- it's a book) variant that's probably comparable to Emacs Org-mode, LaTeX math [mcelrath.org] (I wrote that one -- use it every day), and many more.
The one drawback to all this is that I have no way to automatically organize my handwritten notes from xournal. Though they're computer files, my organization for them is horrendous. I still fantasize about some kind of hybrid mutant of TiddlyWiki, OCR (that can magically read my handwriting and equations), and xournal that would let me do all this on a pen-based tablet...
You're right, I didn't include Zotero in that comment! Having looked at it before, my impression of Zotero was that it is a (very competent) reference manager / source collection. Is it more than this? TiddlyWiki sounds familiar too - this is a subject I've dallied with before, so perhaps I came across it previously
Zotero does categorization. You have a familiar hierarchy of folders (topics). A single reference can appear in multiple folders. (It's your organization, not the filesystem -- each thing appears only once on disk). It does not automatically create categories for you, however. But frankly, I don't think any software could do that in a way I would agree with... You can further attach arbitrary files and notes to things you put in your Zotero database.
http://www.branchable.com/ [branchable.com] (or acutally ikiwiki) is a wiki that you can work on offline. And there's vim-outliner if you don't like emacs orgmode.
Offline mode is one of the things Evernote uses to distinguish the paid version from the free version
A friend recommended this to me: http://www.mekentosj.com/ [mekentosj.com] I've played with it a bit, and it's very academic-focused.
There's probably a need for a more general metadata-integrated information management tool, that makes use of Mac OS X facilities for metadata definition and management. Do Linux and Windows 7 have similar OS level facilities to support metadata creation and management?
A key consideration is the ability to store metadata in the file, rather alongside. Some EXIF tools support this for photo
If you insist in keeping your notes (think before how often you will look at them, then the above tools may work for you.
(recoll is based on xapian and works very well if you have big static archives which you don't need to index often.)
Save yourself - go on a date.
You might also want to look at an xml normalizing tool like Xena [sourceforge.net] - automagically converts all your docs, files, etc into open formats whose content can be searched by open tools.
... quit dicking around trying to find software and start studying. Use whatever break you have before your classes start again to get your organization system in shape. Frankly, you're about nine months late on this quest and your faith in computers and your own tagging abilities are, if not misguided, pathetically touching. Good luck with your medical career.
This isn't your ideal solution—as you've noted, DTP is currently OS X only—but it does work pretty well for me, especially when I'm thinking about a general topic and need to find information on it. I even wrote a post [jseliger.com] about the similarities between Joyce's method of composition / finding material and how Johnson uses DTP.
Tracker ( http://projects.gnome.org/tracker/index.html [gnome.org] ) is relevant to your needs. It stores relational information about your data. So for example, if you have an id3 tagged mp3 album, it will store the artist as an entity x, and the album as an entity y, and it will store that each of the mp3 files are a part of y, by x. In the same way, it stores authors and publishers as entities for pdf's. You can address this data store in the ordinary `desktop search' way (there are some search GUI's available), but
Via RDBMS, I've done similar things with info I had to use extensively. I parsed the files, tracked the paths, classified sections (as best a machine could), added category tagging, word indexing, etc. I'm not called "Tablizer" without a reason.

Note that in the past there was much criticism of Akonadi due to resource usage, but that has been taken care of for at least two major version numbers (KDE 4.5 and 4.6).

TRAINING: I work a full time job at Liberty Water, so I normally get up and do my cardio before work. After work it's straight to practice, and I do all my sparing and drilling in the evening. I train 6 days a week 2 times a day.
When and why did you start training for fighting? Five years ago – I saw it on TV and thought I would be good at it. Started training with Santino DeFranco and began trying it out and now I train everyday with some of the most elite guys in the UFC. MMA is an addictive sport and very challenging to say the least.
What ranks and titles have you held?
Ringside MMA Welterweight Title
Nicest Guy in The Gym 2009
Do you have any heroes? My Dad is my hero. He marches to his own drums and I hope I can keep making him proud.
What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? I know it is cliché to say, but it means everything. This is the pinnacle of MMA and to be the best you have to be a part of the best organization. I am really excited to have the chance to leave my mark in MMA and especially to do so inside the UFC.
What was your job before you started fighting? Construction, which I still do here and there.
If any, list ranks in any martial arts styles: Blue Belt in BJJ under Francisco "Kiko" France
Favorite grappling technique: Triangle
Favorite Striking technique: The KO

In his first year of office, Theodore Roosevelt banned cut Christmas trees in the White House for environmental reasons and a concern over deforestation. And if, like him, you prefer your trees living, planning ahead is the key to success. To keep them healthy, you'll have to water them, which, in addition to the soil, can make a mess on the Berber carpets. Make sure the location in the home can accommodate a bit of moisture and mud.
Before purchasing the tree, consider the size and weight of what you can handle. The bigger the tree, the heavier it -- and its rootball -- will be. Shop early to find healthy trees, looking for those with deep green needles, but no brown tips, yellowing, or shedding. If possible, check to ensure containerized trees aren't rootbound by gently laying them on their side and sliding the container down to inspect the roots. For those that are balled and burlapped, look for firm rootballs with no cracking.
As you move the tree from store to car to house, lift it from the bottom of the rootball. Though tempting, don't use the trunk as a handle to lift the tree, and avoid thumping it down, hard, against the ground.
Living trees can't stay in the house longer than seven days or it compromises their ability to be returned to the wild of your landscaped yard. Have your decorations on hand for when you move the tree into the house so that you make the most of its time inside.
Bringing a tree indoors immediately can result in shock -- not from the tree's response to you housekeeping but from the difference between conditions outside and in. Buffer this by acclimating it in a protected area, such as an unheated garage or enclosed porch. Approximately four days before moving the tree indoors, place it in this holding area to prep it for the move into the home.
Like cut Christmas trees, living ones should be located in a cool spot, away from heating ducts, fireplaces, and space heaters. But one thing this tree needs is sunlight, so try to keep it near a sunny window. Pop the rootball into a container that has at least 2 inches of gravel on the bottom, which will allow for the plant to be watered without it sitting in a puddle. Check the rootball daily to ensure that it is moist, but not soggy.
Once the holiday is over, acclimate the tree to moving back outside by placing it in the sheltered porch or garage for a few days.
If you plan to plant a living tree after the holiday, dig the hole now, before the ground freezes, making it at least twice as wide but no deeper than the rootball. Remove the container and place the tree in the dug hole so the top of the rootball is slightly above ground level. Put some backfill in the hole. Remove any wire and rope from the rootball, then fill with the rest of the backfill. Water heavily to settle the soil, adding more, if necessary, to bring the soil level with the ground.
Mulch the planted area. Water the tree monthly or more, especially if winter is dry, windy, and warm.

Skip to comments.Kerry: US won´t succumb to Fear tactics of those who oppose Iran diplomacy
Posted on 10/29/2013 6:33:42 AM PDT by Nachum
US Secretary of State John Kerry on Monday said that it would be "the height of irresponsibility" for Washington not to test Iran´s diplomatic overtures in regard to its nuclear program. In what could be construed as a reference to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu´s warnings to the world not to fall for the "charm offensive" of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, Kerry stated that the US would not "succumb to fear tactics," of those who oppose diplomacy. Speaking at a Washington gala in support of nuclear disarmament, Kerry said that the US has "an opportunity to try to put to test
(Excerpt) Read more at jpost.com ...
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
I'm guessing this is a ruse of some sort.
Yep, Iran nukes coming right up.
By publically chastising Netanyahu, Kerry is slapping down an ally in deep peril but in the Obama Adm., they're used to destroying allies and cuddling up to enemies. Our enemies can't believe their good luck in that Obama was elected twice!
Wish I could believe that. The facts to me speak otherwise thoght. They have done nothing but stall for time while Iran builds their nukes.
whatever you say Neville
This how the "Axis of Evil" countries befuddle the US.
Secretariat of State is kicking Israel in the balls, not Iran.
Now it makes sense.
Holy Father, protect the Israeli nation against her enemies. Give her supernatural strength and favor Lord. May her enemies on either side be crushed if they come against you and your chosen.
The DemonRat Party has NO diplomacy for the GOP.
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
Uh, Mr. Kerry. Technical collapse of Obamacare website. World leaders discovering and rebuking NSA spying programs. ETC. etc. etc... Heinz ketchup being dumped by McDonalds...
Hmmmmm... Genesis 12:3
If Kerry really wanted to put them to the test, he would challenge them only to target nuclear weapons if they targeted his family first.
Steve Rogers struggles to embrace his role in the modern world and battles a new threat from old history: the Soviet agent known as the Winter Soldier.
There's more manhood, leadership and integrity in Bibi's spit, than Zero's got in his entire puny body.
(Of course maybe Zero is just asking for manhood lessons)
Bibi: That Obama, what a schmuck.
Putin: Da!!!
Putin: Hey Ang, Can you believe, Obama asked Bibi and I how to be a man.
Merkel: Jah!!! Me to.
The US Government dishes out fear tactics on the economy, health care, race relations, etc. So of course we won't succumb to them. We're numb to them.
"Oppose diplomacy"? Oh, yeah. Diplomacy is an end in and of itself. We'll have piece in our time, even if it kills us. Was that a fear tactic I just used?

Tech alone in first place in OVC with 3-0 league
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Krystal Stirrup was 15 days old the
last time the Tennessee Tech women's basketball team roared
out to an 8-2 start. Nobody else on this year's Golden Eagle
roster was even born yet.
That puts into perspective just what the current squad has accomplished in the first month of the season, following a 62-48 victory over Southeast Missouri Tuesday night in Eblen Center.
Tech's win, coupled with a three-point loss by Morehead State at Austin Peay Tuesday night, puts the Golden Eagles alone in first place in the Ohio Valley Conference with a 3-0 mark.
This time it was a balanced attack and tenacious work on the boards that led to the win. Tech held a 48-31 margin in rebounds, including 22 on the offensive glass. SEMO was held to just five offensive rebounds. It led to a 21-1 difference for Tech in second-chance points.
Tech's fourth win in a row upped its record to 8-2 overall and 3-0 in Ohio Valley Conference play. The last time Tech opened with that record was in the 1989-90 season.
Southeast Missouri, suffering its eighth consecutive road loss, slipped to 4-8 overall and 1-3 within the league.
For the second consecutive game, juniors Tacarra Hayes and Brittany Darling led the way, each coming within one rebound of notching double-doubles. Hayes had 13 points and nine rebounds, and also dished out four assists. Darling added 13 points and nine rebounds, and blocked two shots.
Freshman Molly Heady (photo above) and junior Rachel Glidden
also scored in double figures for Tech to provide a balanced
attack. Heady finished with 13 points on 6-for-9 shooting while
Glidden had 10 points. Point guard Briana Jordan had four points
and four steals.
Katie Norman led the Redhawks in scoring, the lone player to hit double figures with 17 points, also hitting 6-for-9 from the field. Norman added six rebounds and four assists. Karley Evans and Brittany Harrell each scored nine.
It was a satisfying victory for Tech, which had dropped six of the last seven to the Redhawks including two of the last three in Eblen Center.
Despite 33 percent shooting in the first half, the Golden Eagles
were able to forge a sic-point lead at the intermission on the
strength of a 7-0 run midway through the period. After the lead
changed hands twice and was tied twice in the opening minutes, Tech
grabbed the lead on a free throw by Hayes and a layup by Molly
Up one, 12-11, with 10:13 remaining, Rachel Glidden poured through a 3-pointer and followed with a jumper, making it a six-point TTU margin. Darling's layup with 5:58 left made it 19-11 for Tech's largest lead of the half.
Southeast Missouri cut it to three after a 3-pointer by Bailie Roberts and a jumper by Katie Norman, but couldn't get any closer. SEMO was within three points three more times, before Molly Heady's 3-pointer with four seconds left pushed the cushion back to six at the break.
The Redhawks chipped the difference down to two points to get the second half underway on a 3-pointer by Evans to make it 31-29.
Tech scored the next 12 points, including four each from Hayes and Heady, and suddenly the lead was 43-29 with 10:08 to go. The Golden Eagles continued to add to their advantage, puffing the lead to as many as 19 points at 53-34 with just under five minutes left.
Next on the agenda for Messer's squad is a brief holiday break, followed by two non-conference games. Tech visits Central Florida on Wednesday, Dec. 29, for a 3:30 (CT) p.m. contest against the Knights. The Golden Eagles are back in Eblen Center on Sunday, Jan. 2, to host St. Louis at 2 p.m. in the first game of an afternoon doubleheader.

RUSH: Sounds like Rick Santorum took it right to him. Sounding like me. This is what Mitch Daniels said that he's not ready to do yet. Santorum did it.Mitch Daniels was not one of the debaters. He wasn't there to not take it to Obama. But Santorum was, and Rush is into Santorum, because
Here's more Santorum. Shannon Bream later: "Senator Santorum, you're often characterized as the most socially conservative in the GOP field, a man who may join you at some point in the primary, Indiana governor Mitch Daniels, says Republican candidates should, quote, 'Declare a truce, close quote on social issues in the next election.' Is he right? Are you willing to tone down your positions on abortion and homosexuality in an effort to reach more voters and to help the GOP coalesce behind a more fiscally focused platform?"And the third of which is "the pursuit of happiness." Why leave that out?
SANTORUM: Anybody that would suggest that we "call a truce on the moral issues" doesn't understand what America is all about. America... America is a country that is based on this concept and the Declaration of Independence that we are "endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights." Rights come from God and the first of which is "life," the second of which is "liberty."
Those two concepts really transformed the world...And so did the third one!
... because it said that government was gonna be limited, allow people to be free and to pursue their own dreams....Happiness!
.... to serve...The dream is service?
... their God to serve their family and community -- and if we have a respect for human life, because we're all created equal...All right. I see where you're
And so those founding concepts, what transformed the world in this United States of America was a belief in family, a belief in life and the belief of dignity of every person. If we abandon that, we have given up on Americ [sic]Ah, but Santorum only said why he had to keep fighting abortion. The question asked about a "truce" on abortion and homosexuality. Not only did Santorum fail to address homosexuality (unless Rush elided that), but he left out the "happiness" part of the unalienable rights. Santorum knows from past experience that those who reject his antagonism to homosexuality will jump on that phrase — "the pursuit of happiness" — and say that for gay people that includes gay sex.
RUSH: So Santorum is not for a "truce on the social issues."
So, a truce on homosexuality, right, Mr. Santorum?

With the scored tied at 53 heading into halftime, Mike Woodson talked to his team bout picking up the tempo in the third quarter to wear down the Heat. When the Knicks did, they got a jump on the Heat and went off for eight 3-pointers within a six-minute span. Overall, the coach doesn't want the guys to stall the ball, but rather keep it moving.I think even those who most wanted him to take over on the Knicks' bench couldn't have imagined the job that Mike Woodson has been doing this season.
"That's the key to us, I think, playing good offense," he said postgame. "The ball's got to move, flow from side to side and we've got enough guys that can make shots. I think these guys feel comfortable about who lets it go, so we've just got to put it in the bucket offensively."
Arriving in New York, Woodson brought a reputation as a defensive mind, but interestingly enough he's overseeing the most efficient offense in the league. The Knicks haven't functioned this well on offense since, well, ever.
Woodson has acknowledged that he learned a lot from his experience alongside Mike D'Antoni, as the two clearly discussed more than just facial hair. But this isn't a post defending D'Antoni, or about what Woodson learned from him, but rather it's about what D'Antoni might have learned from Woodson.
When you spend six seasons as a head coach in the NBA, you obviously develop strong ideas of how you like to do things, but that doesn't mean it's the only way to do them. Woodson saw some things he liked in D'Antoni's schemes, incorporated them into what he already did and became a better coach for it. On the flip side, it's D'Antoni's rigidity that seems to continue to get him into trouble. When Carmelo Anthony doesn't fit into your offensive system, it's your system that may need adjusting. Sure enough, now we're hearing rumors that Pau Gasol must be jettisoned in LA, another highly skilled player who's suddenly ill-suited to his new coach.
These days, Woodson isn't looking for the perfect players to run his perfect plays, he's looking to maximize the roster he has. His brilliant use of Felton and Kidd is a testament to this approach, utilizing both players play making skills to run an attack that takes care of the ball like it's a precious heirloom, turning it over precisely never.
So Woodson arrived to change the Knicks' defensive culture, something he's largely done, but it's been his creative, free-wheeling offense that is carrying the day, and helping the Knicks race out in front of the Eastern Conference pack.

NEW YORK, N.Y. – Senior defenders Tim Pontius and James Kiffe were both selected during Tuesday's Major League Soccer Supplemental Draft, bringing the total count of 2012 UC Santa Barbara draft picks to four. Seattle Sounders FC selected Pontius in the Second Round (33rd overall) and San Jose Earthquakes drafted Kiffe in the Fourth Round (63rd overall).
The 2012 UCSB draft class, which also includes MLS SuperDraft First Round picks Luis Silva (fourth overall, Toronto FC) and Sam Garza (sixth overall, San Jose Earthquakes) is the second largest in program history behind the 2008 class, in which six Gaucho players selected.
Pontius is the second Gaucho in the last two years to be selected by Seattle Sounders FC following in the footsteps of former teammate Michael Tetteh, who was picked by the club during the 2011 MLS SuperDraft's Second Round.
Pontius was an All-Big West First Team selection following his senior season and was selected as the Gauchos' Defensive MVP. This past fall, he played in 21 games and scored three goals and tallied an assist. For his career, he played in 62 matches for the Gauchos, scoring six goals and tallying two assists. During his sophomore and junior seasons, he helped UCSB post goals against averages of 0.75 and 0.77, respectively, which rank in the program's all-time top-10.
Kiffe is the second UCSB player selected by the San Jose Earthquakes in this draft, following in teammate Sam Garza's footsteps. The senior garnered Big West Defender of the Year honors after playing in 22 games and scoring two goals to go along with six assists. He was also an All-Big West First Team honoree, an ESPN LA All-Area Team pick and an All-Far West Region First team selection.
In all, 22 UCSB players have been drafted into the MLS since 2004, including 10 players that have gone in the Supplemental Draft.

We're friends right? We've known each other for a long time so I feel like I can be honest with you: I hated Cole Phelps at first. In fact, when LA Noire released back in 2011 I stopped playing for a month because of him. Part of its my fault, I didn't go into the game with the right mindset. Seeing Rockstar on the front of the game (I know they only published it) and expecting it to be like another GTA or Red Dead was a mistake. After I did finally beat the game I couldn't help but feel disappointed. My most anticipated game in recent years had failed to live up to my expectations. However this year I decided to jump back into 1947 Los Angeles to give the game another go, I am a future noir detective after all. Quickly I started to pick up on a lot more character traits that make Cole Phelps such an awesome
Master Chief.
@JumptoGamer I agree, so many great characters.
I think Mario, Sonic and Solid Snake are the Best Video Game Character of All Time...
