NEW YORK — Strong earnings from tech giants are nudging the stock market higher early today, ahead of a planned vote in Congress to let the government keep paying all its bills for another three months.
Tech giants Google and IBM reported surprisingly solid earnings late Tuesday, a hopeful sign for investors. Analysts had projected technology companies would post weak results in the fourth quarter.
House Republicans are expected to vote in the afternoon on a measure to lift the federal government's debt ceiling, giving it enough room to pay its bills for another three months.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 54 points to 13,766 as of noon EST. IBM led the Dow's 30 stocks, surging 6 percent.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index was flat at 1,492, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq composite rose nine points to 3,152.
The quarterly earnings season is off to strong start. Of the 83 companies in the S&P 500 that reported through Tuesday, 54 of them have beaten Wall Street's estimates, according to S&P Capital IQ.
The stock market has climbed so quickly this month that it will likely take more than good earnings to keep it heading higher. "This market is really stretched," said Clark Yingst, chief market analyst at the securities firm Joseph Gunnar. "We've essentially gone straight up since January 2. There's certainly room for people to take profits."
The S&P 500 index is already up 4.6 percent in 2013. That's roughly half of what most stock-fund investors hope to make in a single year.
Google jumped 6 percent in early trading. Its earnings climbed at the end of last year as online advertisers spent more money in pursuit of holiday shoppers. Google rose $45.08 to $747.99.
IBM's results beat expectations, thanks to its lucrative Internet-based "cloud" computing business and other software services. IBM also raised its earnings outlook for the current year. Its stock rose $10.18 to $206.24.
Another tech giant, Apple, is scheduled to report its results after the close of trading.
Advanced Micro Devices also reported results that were better than analysts had expected. The world's second-largest maker of microchips, behind Intel, posted a smaller loss and higher revenue than analysts had forecast. AMD jumped 9 percent, making it the top stock in the S&P 500. It rose 22 cents to $2.65.
Coach plunged 14 percent, or $8.64, to $52.04 after the luxury handbag maker said a challenging economy and heavy price-cutting by competitors weighed on its results. Rivals like Michael Kors are attracting loyal followers.
In the bond market, the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note dipped to 1.82 percent, down from 1.84 percent late Tuesday.

Freeport (3-6 in conference duals) would like to pass Guilford (4-5) and move up one spot in the NIC-10 boys golf tournament today and Saturday at Atwood.
Freeport (3-6 in conference duals) would like to pass Guilford (4-5) and move up one spot in the NIC-10 boys golf tournament Friday and Saturday at Atwood.
"There are only nine varsity teams with Jefferson not having one; that takes one of the teams out that we would have had a chance of beating," coach Matt Gallie said. "To stay where we're at, which is in seventh place, or move up a spot to sixth would be a good realistic goal."
Aaron Davis recently reached his goal of becoming the Pretzels' No. 1 golfer. After getting off to a slow start, Davis finally inched ahead of Collin Stark.
"They are separated by one shot — total — for the whole year, and they have both played in everything; five tournaments and 11 duals," Gallie said. "Collin has been struggling with his putting. He is a good ball-striker. If he can avoid the three-putts, he should be in good shape."
Freshman Ian McLain is Freeport's No. 3 golfer.
"He has got to avoid the big hole," Gallie said. "If he just stays away from the 8s and 9s, he's got a good enough short game, he never gets in too much trouble.
"We've been struggling (as a team). Just when one guys starts to come around, another one starts to lose his game a bit. We're just looking to get at least four guys playing well this weekend and beyond."
Boylan is a shoo-in to win its eighth consecutive NIC-10 girls title Friday and Saturday at Ingersoll, but Freeport has a shot at placing second.
"We've been within 10 strokes of every other team, positive or negative, and opened in the 230s and are doing a lot better toward the end of the season, down as low as 206," coach Jennifer Slaght said. "It would be nice to set a team best for the season on one or both of the days. With bad weather expected, it could be survival golf."

The word "dominant" served as a fitting adjective to describe the performance of the Pella football team last night, as the Little Dutch simply out-played Fairfield in a runaway 43-0 victory.
A 15-yard touchdown scamper by Chris Brogden started the scoring party for the Little Dutch, as five different Pella players found the end zone throughout the brisk October evening. While the offense put the numbers on the scoreboard, it was the special teams play and the effort of the defense that was simply sublime. The Little Dutch started many of their drives on the Trojans' side of the field, while a suffocating defense held Fairfield to -5 yards of net offense and just a handful of first downs.
Pella tallied 335 total yards of offense, 245 of which came in the first half. A very balanced attack was led by Austin Fuller's 50 yards on eight carries, while Grant Gustafson added 38 yards on the ground, and one rushing and one receiving touchdown
Pella quarterback Jacob De Waard completed 7-of-11 passes to six receivers for 102 yards and two touchdowns, with the other TD toss landing in the open arms of tight end Jake Wassenaar; who finished the night with two catches for 28 yards.
Wassenaar also helped create a nightmarish evening for Fairfield quarterback Dillon Fry, intercepting one pass and sacking, hurrying, or chasing down Fry numerous times.
The victory earned Pella High the Class 3A District 7 title, as the Little Dutch are now 7-1 overall and 6-0 in league play, entering the final week of the season – a home contest with Fort Madison.

Oh, good, it's time for that annual ritual in which the Dodgers attempt to appease those unfortunate ticketholders who spend one inning trying to park and two innings trying to buy a hot dog.
OK, so they're attempting to appease everyone, which is why it's called Fan Appreciation Day, occurring Sunday afternoon at Dodger Stadium during a game against the horrid Colorado Rockies, which should be appreciation enough.
My favorite prize is four tickets to a regular-season Kings home game. The lucky winner will be considerably luckier if there actually is a hockey regular season.
My second-favorite prize is a lunch for two with Hall of Famer Tom Lasorda, which could be conveniently paired with three other prizes — a one-year supply of Coca-Cola products, a one-year supply of Wetzel's Pretzels, and a one-year supply of Frosted Flakes cereal.

By LARRY LAGE/AP Sports Writer
ALLEN PARK (AP) — The Detroit Lions have made some head-scratching picks in previous years, drafting who they thought was the best-player available even if he didn't address an apparent need.
This year, through three rounds, the Lions have selected a trio of prospects with the potential to fill voids and start as rookies.
Detroit drafted Mississippi State cornerback Darius Slay in the second round and Kentucky guard Larry Warford in the third Friday night, one day after taking BYU defensive end Ziggy Ansah fifth overall.
"We've found matches for the things we were looking for," Lions coach Jim Schwartz said.
The Lions took Slay 36th overall, seven spots ahead of teammate Johnthan Banks, who won the Thorpe Award that honors college football's best defensive back.
"It didn't matter who went first," Slay insisted.
The native of Brunswick, Ga., said he probably would've been drafted even sooner but an MRI revealed he had a torn meniscus in one of his knees — he wouldn't say which one on a conference call with Detroit-area reporters — when NFL teams were evaluating him.
"I was told I don't have to have surgery," Slay said. "I feel like I'm real good right now."
The Lions do, too.
Detroit general manager Martin Mayhew said the team got a look at Slay within the last couple of weeks.
"We are aware that there is a physical issue with his knee," Mayhew said. "We're aware of that and we're comfortable with that."
Mayhew refused to speculate about how much, if any, time Slay would have to miss during offseason workouts. Schwartz, though, made it clear he doesn't think Slay has a health issue that will linger.
"This isn't a long-term injury from the information that we have," Schwartz said.
The Lions have a spot for the 6-foot, 192-pound Slay to start opposite veteran cornerback Chris Houston. Slay, the son of two former track athletes, ran a 4.36 40-yard dash at the NFL combine to provide the Lions with another reason to want him on their team.
"They know my size and the speed that I have, being one of the fastest guys at the combine," he said. "They just said they can do a lot of stuff with my talent."
Slay had five interceptions, returning one for a touchdown last season, in his second year of playing in the Southeastern Conference after attending junior college.
"He's played very well in the SEC and been very productive," Mayhew said. "We've been trying to find that big corner. We've talked about that and everybody's looking for that guy. He's really good in press coverage, he's physical against the run, so we like this player. He's going to help us a lot."
"He's very sticky in coverage," Mayhew said.
The Lions decided to stick with their early pick in the second round after Mayhew said they got "a lot of calls," from teams wanting to acquire the slot.
"We had several teams that wanted to move up and we were weighing moving back and trying to still get Darius, or should we take him," he said. "We decided to just go ahead and take him."
Detroit might be able to plug the 6-3, 330-pound Warford into the guard spot opposite Rob Sims and next to center Dominic Raiola on a line that will have a pair of first-year starters unless a veteran free agent is signed.
Schwartz joked that Warford's physique wouldn't make him a candidate to be a calendar model for the team, but his beefy build is perfect for his position.
"He's made to play guard in the NFL," Schwartz said.
Warford, who was born in San Diego, said he attended 13 schools growing up as the son because his father was in the Navy and his parents divorced. He went on to start in 37 games at Kentucky, earning a spot on one of the all-SEC teams in each of his four seasons.
"I'm pretty aggressive," said Warford, who was drafted 65th overall. "But more than that, I feel like my knowledge of my position and what I'm supposed to do is most important."
The Lions are scheduled to make one pick in the fourth round — 132nd overall — fifth and six rounds along with two selections in the seventh and final round Saturday. They might look to add a receiver because two targets, Nate Burleson and Ryan Broyles, are coming off season-ending injuries and troubled Titus Young was released soon after the team flopped to a 4-12 finish last year.

Cooke Terminating Some of Macon's Assistant DAs | News
Several assistant district attorneys in the Macon Judicial Circuit may lose their jobs when David Cooke takes office Jan. 1.
Cooke declined comment on the situation Thursday, saying it wouldn't be appropriate for him to discuss personnel changes prior to being sworn in as district attorney.
ADA Gary Wood said he hasn't heard from Cooke directly but that a third party has notified him and several other ADA's that they won't be a part of the Cooke administration.
Wood declined to identify the third party or any of the other ADA's who have received the notification.
There are 21 assistant district attorneys, including the chief assistant, in the Macon Judicial Circuit. The circuit covers Bibb, Crawford and Peach counties.
Cooke, a Democrat, defeated District Attorney Greg Winters, a Republican, in the November general election. Winters term expires Dec. 31. He plans to become an assistant district attorney in the Houston Judicial Circuit in January.

Fortinet is meeting challenging economic times head on, funding a leasing program at TechData through GE that allows partners to extend credit availability and leases on all equipment. In addition to extended credit, partners will receive help finding security solutions that fit customers' needs and budgets.
Meanwhile, the Sunnyvale, Calif.-based company made some changes related to its deal-registration program designed to protect partners' margins from being undercut when working on a deal. Once partners bring an opportunity to the table, Fortinet helps protect the deal with margin distribution -- not giving the same margin benefit to competing partners for the same deal.
"They don't have to cut into margin to cut a deal that they work on very hard from the very beginning," said Kendra Krause (left), vice president of channel sales for Fortinet. "That's been very successful."
Fortinet also has implemented instant -- not back-end -- rebate programs on various FortiGate products and the FortiMail 400. The company also has dropped the price of several systems. Executives say they plan to negotiate nonstandard pricing that benefits both Fortinet partners and end-user customers.

Nov. 1569-85; envoy to Rome 1555, Spain 1560, Flanders 1565-6.2
Anthony Browne evidently owed his return for Guildford to the Parliaments of 1545 and 1547 to his father, who was senior knight of the shire on both occasions and who had been joint keeper of Guildford park since 1527 and sole keeper since the death of his half-brother, Sir William Fitzwilliam, Earl of Southampton, whose property in the borough he had also inherited. The younger Browne was first returned on 26 Dec. 1544, a few weeks after his 16th birthday (although the Parliament did not meet until a few days before his 17th), yet he took precedence over his fellow-Member Thomas Elyot, who was his father's servant. Sir Anthony Browne also obtained his son's appointment as royal standard bearer, surrendering his own patent of the office in return for a grant to himself and his son in survivorship. The younger Browne accompanied his kinsman John Dudley, Viscount Lisle, to France in the summer of 1546, being given £40 towards his expenses by Henry VIII, and was knighted at the coronation of Edward VI. He was still under age when his father died in April 1548, and in the following January (Sir) Thomas Wroth was appointed standard bearer during his minority, but he was allowed to buy his own wardship for £333 6s.8d. In May 1550, six months after he came of age, he received livery of his lands.3
Browne's career received its first check in the following year, when he spent six weeks in prison for hearing mass. He admitted to the Council on 22 Mar. 1551 that he had done so 'twice or thrice at the Newhall and once at Romford now, as my Lady Mary was coming hither about ten days past'. The Council sent Browne to the Fleet; on 4 May he and (Sir) Richard Morgan who had likewise heard mass in Princess Mary's chapel, were released 'with warning to beware how they erred again'. Although there is no evidence that he then conformed, Browne was pricked sheriff of Surrey and Sussex in November 1552 and in the following year was even made a commissioner for church goods. These appointments may have been bids for his support by John Dudley, now Duke of Northumberland, who also perhaps procured his young kinsman's return for Petersfield to the Parliament of March 1553. Fitzwilliam had held land in the neighbourhood but in tail male so that it had not passed to the Brownes. The lord of the borough, Henry Weston, was then about 18 years old and his stepfather, John Vaughan II, took the junior seat: Vaughan's kinsman Sir Roger Vaughan may already have been married to a daughter of Henry, 2nd Earl of Worcester, by Browne's aunt Elizabeth, but it is unlikely that Vaughan, especially in view of his own relegation to the junior seat, could have exercised complete control over the election. Browne himself seems to have intervened in several elections as sheriff of Surrey and Sussex, and his return of George Rithe for Bramber may have been part of an electoral bargain whereby Rithe, who held lands near Petersfield, stood down there in Browne's favour.4
Browne was re-elected for Petersfield, with Rithe, to the first Parliament of the new reign, after he had apparently rallied to Queen Mary. He was also returned for Stafford to this Parliament, doubtless on the nomination of Lord Stafford. Browne's wife was related to Stafford—the name of Browne's 'base brother' Charles Stafford alias Browne is of interest in this connexion—and Browne may have had a hand in the choice of his replacement there, Simon Lowe alias Fyfield, a friend of Browne's steward William Denton: Denton himself was to sit in eight successive Parliaments for Browne's own borough of Midhurst. Having at length achieved the knighthood of the shire in the Parliament of April 1554, Browne was raised to the peerage in the following September. He probably owed this honour to an attempt to cover up a blunder of King Philip. In June 1554, when an English household was set up for Philip before his marriage, Browne was appointed his master of the horse and was given £200 to provide for his stable. Great was the indignation when Philip arrived in July with a Spanish household and promptly dismissed the Englishmen. It was particularly inept, since in the previous March the Spanish ambassador had bought Browne's friendship with a gift of 150 crowns. Several anxious letters were exchanged about the 'Browne affair', which was settled by his creation as viscount, with an annuity of 20 marks, a material reward augmented in February 1555 by a grant of lands, made in consideration of his service to the Queen during the recent rebellions and for the better maintenance of a viscount's estate. He was also granted a Spanish pension of 500 crowns a year; that this was already two years in arrear in 1558 reflected no lack of confidence in Browne, whom the Spanish ambassador succinctly appraised as 'a good man and a Christian'.5
In February 1555 Philip and Mary sent Bishop Thirlby, Viscount Montagu and Sir Edward Carne to treat for the reconciliation of the Church in England to the papacy. On his way home Montagu visited Venice. Back in England he was the chief mourner at the funeral of Bishop Gardiner, who had named him one of his executors. In April 1556 Montagu was given licence to retain 60 men, and a year later he was sworn a member of the Privy Council. In the summer of 1557 he served under the Earl of Pembroke as lieutenant of the army preparing to defend Calais and was present at the siege of St. Quentin, and in the spring of 1558, as lieutenant of Sussex, he organized the defences of the English coast.6
Nothing is known of Browne's role in the Commons but he was an active member of the Lords: during Mary's reign he was regular in attendance and was frequently appointed to committees, including one in 1555 for the bill to punish exiles. On 14 Nov. 1558 he was a member of the Lords' delegation to the Commons about a subsidy. In Elizabeth's first Parliament he voted for the bill to restore first fruits and tenths to the crown, but was the only temporal peer to oppose the bills for the dissolution of the religious houses restored by Mary and for the re-establishment of the royal supremacy; he also voted against the bill for uniformity, in conjunction with eight other temporal peers. His speech against the supremacy bill has recently come to light: he objected to the abrogation of the mass and the profanation of the sacraments but he also warned of the danger to the realm should the pope proceed to its excommunication, with the consequent threat of invasion or rebellion, and besought the House to 'be not noted thus often to change your faith and religion, and with the Prince to bury your faith'. He again distinguished himself in the Parliament of 1563 by his opposition to the bill for extending the obligation to take the oath of supremacy and for sharpening the penalties for refusal. A new law, he said, ought to be necessary, just and reasonable, and apt and fit to be put in execution, and the proposed measure was none of these things. Speaking on his last point, he asked, 'What man is there so without courage and stomach, or void of all honour, that can consent or agree to receive an opinion and new religion by force and compulsion?' Although the Act was passed (5 Eliz., c.1), peers were exempted from its operation and Montagu was not therefore tendered the oath. In November 1566 he opposed the bill to confirm the consecration of bishops.7
His opposition to the Anglican settlement had not excluded Montagu from employment. In January 1560 Elizabeth sent him—against his will, as he told the Spanish ambassador, and accompanied by a man to spy on him—to tell Philip of the French landings in Scotland and to ask his help to prevent an invasion of England. In 1565 he was employed to negotiate a commercial treaty with the Netherlands, which moved him to comment to the Spanish ambassador, 'I cannot understand these people; they cannot endure me and yet they send me to do their business for them'. Four years later his unswerving loyalty received signal recognition when he was appointed joint lord lieutenant of Sussex.8
Montagu was the subject of many rumours in the various Catholic intrigues of the day, doubtless because of the involvement of many of his kinsmen and associates. His servant George Chamberlain is said to have fled overseas 'upon the rebellion in the north', and Chamberlain's activities, perhaps in conjunction with those of Montagu's son-in-law Henry, 2nd Earl of Southampton, may explain the otherwise incomprehensible reports of the Spanish ambassador made late in 1569. In the first, of 1 Dec. 1569, within a fortnight of Montagu's being commissioned joint lieutenant of Sussex, he said that Montagu and Southampton had sent to ask him whether they should take up arms or go over to join Alva. Then on 18 Dec. he wrote that they had taken the latter course, but had been driven back by contrary winds and summoned to court to explain their conduct—whereupon Montagu received the governorship of Sussex. The ambassador added that Montagu had sent 'George Hamberton, a kinsman of the Duchess of Feria' to assure Alva of his good intentions. 'Hamberton' may well have been Chamberlain, whose contacts with his kinswoman had been one of the causes of his arrest seven years earlier; Southampton was indeed imprisoned but not until June 1570. In August 1580 the Spanish ambassador thought that Montagu was likely to be arrested and a month later the Venetian ambassador reported that he was in prison, but there is no confirmation of this.9
Although Montagu was removed from the Sussex lieutenancy in 1585, in the following year he was appointed a commissioner for the trial of Mary Queen of Scots and he remained active in his shire. On 21 Aug. 1587 the Council wrote to thank him for the speed with which he had travelled to the coast on hearing reports that foreign ships had been sighted, and in the Armada crisis of the following year he showed himself equally anxious to help. According to a pamphlet written by Lord Burghley, but purporting to be by an English Catholic, he led 200 horsemen to Tilbury, determined 'to live and die in defence of the Queen and of his country'. Three years later Elizabeth spent a week at Cowdray Park and among the knights dubbed during her stay were Montagu's second son George and his son-in-law Robert Dormer†.10
Montagu died on 19 Oct. 1592 at his house in Horsley, Surrey, and was buried at Midhurst: his tomb, on which he is depicted with his two wives, was later removed to Easebourne church, close to the entrance to Cowdray Park. Several portraits survive. The executors of his will, proved on 14 Mar. 1593, were his wife Magdalen, his son-in-law Dormer, Edward Gage, Richard Lewknor† and Edmund Pelham† and the supervisor (Sir) Thomas Heneage, who was later to be the second husband of Montagu's daughter the Countess of Southampton. His heir was his grandson Anthony Maria, who had married Buckhurst's daughter.11

'Anthony Browne, 1st Viscount Montagu KG PC (29 November 1528 – 19 October 1592) was an English peer during the Tudor period.
'Anthony Browne was the eldest of the six sons[1] of Sir Anthony Browne by his first wife, Alice Gage (d. 31 March 1540), the daughter of Sir John Gage of Firle, Sussex. He had five brothers, Thomas, William, Francis, Henry, and a second William, and three sisters, Mary, who married firstly Lord John Grey of Pirgo, and secondly, Sir Henry Capel, esquire; Mabel, who married Gerald Fitzgerald, 11th Earl of Kildare; and Lucy, who married Thomas Roper, esquire. After the death of Alice Gage, Sir Anthony Browne married secondly, in 1542, Elizabeth Fitzgerald, the daughter of Gerald FitzGerald, 9th Earl of Kildare, by his second wife, Elizabeth Grey, the daughter of Thomas Grey, 1st Marquess of Dorset, by whom he had two sons, Edward and Thomas. After the death of Sir Anthony Browne, his widow, Elizabeth, married Edward Clinton, 1st Earl of Lincoln.[2] ....
'Montague died at his manor house in West Horsley, Surrey, on 19 October 1592 of a lingering illness, and was buried at Midhurst on 6 December. His tomb of marble and alabaster, surmounted by effigies of himself and his two wives, so closely resembles the Southampton monument at Titchfield as to be, according to Elzinga, 'a testament to the closeness between Montague and Southampton'.[17]
'Anthony Browne married firstly, Jane Radcliffe, daughter of Robert Radcliffe, 1st Earl of Sussex, by whom he had a son and a daughter:[18]
- Anthony Browne (22 July 1552 – 29 June 1592), who married Mary Dormer, the daughter of Sir William Dormer (d.1575) by his second wife, Dorothy Catesby, the daughter of Anthony Catesby, esquire. Anthony Browne predeceased his father by four months, leaving a son, Anthony, who succeeded as 2nd Viscount Montague, as well as another son, John, and three daughters, Dorothy, who married Edmund Lee, esquire, Jane, who married Sir Francis Englefield (c.1561 – 26 October 1631), 1st Baronet Englefield, and Katherine, who married a husband surnamed Throckmorton.[19] Anthony Browne's widow, Mary Dormer, married secondly, Sir Edmund Uvedale (d. 6 April 1606), and thirdly, Sir Thomas Gerard (d. 16 February 1621), son and heir of Sir Thomas Gerard by Elizabeth, daughter and co-heiress of Sir John Port. In her will dated 20 July 1637, Mary Dormer requested that she be buried at Midhurst, Sussex, near her first husband, Anthony Browne.
- Mary Browne, who married firstly, Henry Wriothesley, 2nd Earl of Southampton, by whom she had a son, Henry Wriothesley, 3rd Earl of Southampton, and a daughter, Mary, who married Thomas Arundell, 1st Baron Arundell of Wardour. She married secondly, Sir Thomas Heneage, and thirdly, William Hervey, 1st Baron Hervey, but had no issue by her second and third marriages.
'After Jane's death in childbirth on 22 July 1552 after giving birth to twins,[citation needed] Montague married, before 10 December 1558, Magdalen Dacre (d. 8 April 1608), daughter of William Dacre, 4th Baron Dacre of Gilsland, by Elizabeth Talbot, daughter of George Talbot, 4th Earl of Shrewsbury, by whom he had three sons[20] and three daughters:[21]
- Sir George Browne (d. April 1615).
- Sir Henry Browne, who married firstly Anne Catesby, and secondly Elizabeth Hungate.
- Thomas Browne.
- Elizabeth Browne (d.1631), who married Robert Dormer, 1st Baron Dormer, the son of Sir William Dormer by his second wife, Dorothy Catesby (d.1613).
- Mabel Browne, who married Sir Henry Capel.[22]
- Jane Browne, who married Sir Francis Lacon.

In 1558 he married Magdalen Dacre, daughter of William Dacre, 3rd Baron Dacre, by whom he had ten children.
On 2 September 1554, Browne was created Viscount Montagu. That year, he was also sent as one of the ambassadors to Rome to treat for the reconciliation of the Church of England with the Pope, and in 1555 was made a Privy Counsellor and Knight of the Garter. He was lieutenant-general of the English troops at the siege of Saint-Quentin in 1557.
Upon the accession of Elizabeth, Montagu lost his seat on the Privy Council for his Roman Catholicism, and generally opposed the religious measures of Elizabeth. However, he retained her favour through his prudence and loyalty, and was joint Lord Lieutenant of Sussex from 1570 to 1585. In 1587, Montagu was one of the commissioners who tried Mary, Queen of Scots, and was one of the first to raise a troop of horse to muster at West Tilbury to guard against the Spanish Armada.

An Otley man has identified himself as the driver of one of two cars that hit and killed 18 year old Maxwell Wallace just after midnight Sunday. According to an Iowa State Patrol report, Wallace was walking in the westbound lane of I-80 where he was nearly hit by two other vehicles before being hit by Nelson. Maxwell was then struck by another driver who called 9-1-1. The Johnson County Attorney's Office has not filed any charges against Mr. Nelson.

Tree lighting ceremony and homemade cookies for students usher in season at Evangel
November 26, 2012 | Valorie Coleman
The lobby of Evangel University's administration building was looking more like Christmas by the minute. The 20-foot tree was assembled last week, and two dedicated women were meticulously placing the ribbon, one elaborate bow at a time, in a swirling pattern around its circumference.
Who were Santa's helpers? Meet Connie Benton, Evangel's director of postal services, and Dinah Parker, post office staff member. Benton has worked at Evangel for 24 years. Her decorating skills have emerged as an integral part of her service to the university. Her eye for design and décor has been put to work during many homecoming and Christmas celebrations.
Parker joined Benton on Evangel decorating projects before she even came to work for the university in 2007. The two knew each other from church and had worked on projects there.
Their intention is not simply to beautify the campus, nor is their work done out of duty.
Their efforts come from the heart.
"When I was little, we didn't have much," Parker says. "My mother would wait until Christmas Eve to decorate. She saved items all year to make handmade decorations, including the foil out of cigarette packs to make hand-strung garland. Mom also liked glitter. She would write our names in glitter on our packages."
On Christmas Eve, Parker's mother would stay up all night, turning their home into a magical Christmas scene, and wrapping each child's one present.
"The next morning, it would look like a Christmas fantasy land," Parker says. "That was as much a part of the gift my mom gave us as the actual presents."
The students, staff and faculty of Evangel will celebrate with a tree lighting ceremony on November 27. The staff of Riggs Hall will bake cookies to offer the students, and they will enjoy a chance to mix and mingle. Everyone will notice a bit of glitter in the decorations.
"We really do want to do something special for the students," Benton says. "This is our way of saying we appreciate you."
— Valorie Coleman, assistant director of public relations, Evangel University

These cones have held up through two flag football seasons and I expect them to hold up for several more. Great purchase at a great price. And, I liked that we could get them in green instead of just orange.

Hardware abstraction is new? Here I was thinking that it was a central theme in computing for pretty sizable chunk of time now.
reading comprehension has gone WAY downhill lately on slashdot...
I said nothing about hardware abstraction. A VM farm from the 90s that tried to heal and move to another VM isn't the same as having a dozen cheap instances that spin up and down on a whim, with no concern about whether one disappears unexpectedly.
Was it a crazy shock, an unexpected development? No, certainly not. But that doesn't in any way mean that it wasn't a change in the way things there done. I don't know what planet you've been on,
Probably living on the planet where we actually develop this crap rather than just talk about it, and realize that the only reason for using big words is to try to make people think you are smarter than you really are. Dont try to cast stones when you live in a glass house...
Not to be completely an ass, but your assessment of the situation is laughable. "Cloud Computing" started with SUN micro trying to find a business model, and should have died there. Just think about what IBM is doing... They are crea
And yes, "cloud computing" is a buzzword about making your product deployments extremely expensive, and about pretending that outsourcing is a great thing.
Since i just moved a company's main revenue source from extremely expensive dedicated servers with minimal fault tolerance, to a self-healing, globally distributed, never-down cluster in the cloud...with substantially cheaper monthly costs and substantially easier maintenance...it's your comments that are laughable.
I said nothing about hardware abstraction...I don't know what planet you've been on, but 10 years ago on this planet if several of your application servers not only crashed, but completely disappeared never to return again, that would be cause for alarm. Now (due to a coupling of lowered expectations of vendor product quality, thanks to China et. al, and the natural progression of the industry), one just creates the applications with the idea in mind that the roles are what is important, not the devices that may or may not from one moment to the next be fulfilling the roles.
Yup, comprehension sure has gone downhill.
yes, they have.
If you bother to look at that to which I was replying, and if you have the ability to follow along, you'll get it.
"hardware abstraction" in the sense of VMs running in your company's datacenter stil puts you at being concerned with hardware - it's not abstracted. The vm hosts fail, and no matter how you try to heal the VM clients under them it still takes extra actions...if you're still using the old methods. It's not just the hardware that's changing, after all - it's also the application
I'll go ahead and pre-empt you, btw.
I no longer need to build a tier4 datacenter, to have tier4-level service. If I run a company with 2 tier4 datacenters, and VM farms in each, not only is it incredibly expensive for me to do it but getting my data to the outside world is incredibly expensive as well.
We're starting to reach a progression in our economy indicating signs of communism - shared resource use. When even Wall Street firms start thinking of making their computing resources available after-hours [slashdot.org]
I'm riding this wave, too, but from the other side of the table. And Cloud - as an enabler - is bringing fantastic (in a business sense) and fascinating (in a technical sense) technolog
The problem with many people who think it's a buzzword is that they think the "Cloud" is nothing but VM hosting with a marketing label attached to it. As I mentioned elsewhere, where and how the cloud resources arrive is irrelevant; they could be entire servers, they could be VMs, it doesn't matter. That part is completely irrelevant. Getting stuck on the idea of a machine at all is an immediate indicator that someone isn't getting the idea in the first place.
This isn't a progression of VM hosting, it's
You keep saying it's not hardware abstraction, and then go on to say how cloud computing abstracts the hardware. Whatever, dude; you clearly get a kick out of lecturing people and talking down to them - I'm glad I don't actually have to work with you in real life.
Btw, are you talking about ScyId? I would get some amusement out of you consistently misspelling what you're name dropping, but it's also possible I just don't know what I'm looking for
Cloud computing isn't the fad it was before. It has matured into a tool now that businesses can take advantage of, or just pass by if they so choose.
Businesses are slowly becoming aware that cloud computing isn't the sure thing it was. This seems to happen every decade. In the 1970s, we had dumb terminals. In the 1980s, we had X stations. The 1990s called, wanted their JavaStations back. And cloud computing is just the same, except it works on a higher level where the dumb/thin clients provide the OS,
Do you by chance work in marketing? BIS graduate? Management?
You speak with the pashion of an advertisement and the vocabulary of someone who memorized the buzzword dictionary but never saw the joke.
UNIX sysadmin for the last 16, even if my title has changed during that time. I don't do any sales. My passion for it is due to two things:
1) it makes sense, and is a dramatic framework improvement. An increasing user base will force applications to be geared for it better. I don't want to have to do goofy hacks to make things like mysql failover properly. Instead, I want their RDS service to improve enough for me to be able to use it.
2) I'm an environmentalist. It always bothered me that every single

After all, it's a cloud; if they buy into the theory behind it, shouldn't it be possible to deploy the machines pretty much one per datacenter everywhere IBM operates data centers, and build the cloud up that way? Wouldn't the lab be anywhere there was an Internet connection?
-- Terry
yeah, that's more or less my mark of whether people are getting it (or buying in to it, if you wish to say it that way). If you imagine your "cloud" to be in one specific place...it's not a cloud. The difference between a clouds are dispersed, and cover large areas. They're not merely ponds that happen to be up in the air.
One of my growing list of complaints about Ubuntu is their "cloud" [ubuntu.com] concept, where it's nothing more than a front end to the VMs running in your company datacenter, changing nothing from
Is anyone else here thinking: so what? Sounds like a press release with almost nothing of interest.
This is, after all, Slashdot. Not only does this story make the front page, but will probably generate a ton of comments. Many of them, including this very one that I am posting, complaining about how this is a non-story. I wonder if there is a bit of irony in there somewhere.
Is anyone else here thinking: so what? Sounds like a press release with almost nothing of interest.
Here's the press release: http://www.ibm.com/news/th/en/2010/05/04/m796788v34229n07.html [ibm.com]
Everything of interest was cut out by "Staff Writer"
If InfoGrok is going to just reprint a cut down press release, they should really say so.
Cloud computing? What if it rains? All our data will be flowing through the streets!
Seems there's a pattern. Internet starts becoming popular: "That's nothing we can't do with our 9600 baud modems..." Facebook becomes popular: "That's nothing we can't do with email..." GUI's become popular, "That's nothing we can't do with a csh prompt..." javascript and flash become popular: "That's nothing we can't do with html..." Windows becomes popular, "That's nothing we can't do on our Sun workstations". The naysayers dissing something is a surefire sign it'll be huge in 5 or 10 years.
Same now with cloud computing. Enough slashdotters dissing it makes me want to invest in it, because if there's one constant, it's that opinion here is a polar opposite of the public at large. Slashdot: "It means nothing!" --> it'll be the next big thing.
There are always people who want things to remain as they always were, so they don't have to ever change or adapt to new things. But time moves on regardless.

When things change, they don't always get better. For things to get better, they always have to change.
You are employing a logical fallacy. The results of a previous event do not say anything about how this one will turn out.
By the way: Using Facebook is still an epic failure in all regards, and still makes you into nothing more than a human battery from Matrix. A product. Cattle. And a fucking subhuman to me.
Also: GUI his what? How old are you? Your whole is of "examples" is filled with things where you act like they are obviously true, while they are just using straw-men or are completely false

Except that in the real world, they often do.
There's a difference - your examples are concrete technologies.
Cloud computing is a buzz-word for clusters and/or client server systems.
Those are really old hat.
There's reasons why clusters and/or client server systems might grow - mobile devices and faster broadband, as well as new VM and parallel technologies; but I wouldn't back a buzzword that doesn't bring anything new to the table.
You might want to back specific providers (Amazon, Rackspace) who are bringing excellent new products to the market, but t

But why are these people all on slashdot? isn't this a geek site?

Yeah, if only this were a new thing.
Cloud computing == grid computing. Hell, here in Alberta, there was a project to build a large scale grid computing network at least six years ago, and I'm certain the idea predates that. The only difference is cloud computing has brought the idea into the mainstream.
Which really makes the Slashdot naysayers look even sillier. This is an *old
We had this LONG before the internet ( as we know it ) came into being.
Back then it was called dial up time share or (DUTS).
There is a guy that has a tiny warehouse space and inside it lives an HP-3000 that is as maxed out as he could get it when he purchased it used from Stanford University. Instead of Dial up you connect to it over the net and it runs legacy applications that are still considered to be quite valuable. He makes himself enough money to pay for the bandwidth, the space and the electric bill AND all his hobbies since he retired from, you guessed it, HP.
This is about as blatant as it gets here.
Don't disappoint me, slashdot - tell you you've got sumth-sumth for this post.
I'm currently working out a way to deal with the fact that on EC2, instances disappear, IPs disappear, IPs can't be reallocated for heartbeat situations (no, elastic-ips don't work for that, too slow).
4 options:
1) elastic IP failover
2) dns change (I don't like this since many things don't do lookups after startup, otherwise they'd be horribly slow)
3) the MMM plugin that tries to trick dns resolution changes
4) the special extra I did instead (iptables rewrite of NAT table, which only affects NEW sockets, not ESTABLISHED, etc - meaning whatever is hanging up the first server gets a chance to finish)
I've got #4 working semi-well now, which is great. I have self-healing m1.small spot instances that cost 3 cents an hour, and can keep up large sites. People rag on the m1.smalls, but I get good performance out of them after a few minor tweeks.
In short, "cloud computing" is a very different paradigm than anything the industry has ever seen before, and as a person who has been a UNIX admin/engineer/architech/etc since the early 90's...I'm pretty turned on by the whole thing.
The paradigm shift occured at least half a century ago when computers moved from single user purpose built machines to general purpose time share machines where resources were rented to users.
Prior to 50 years ago, computers were only for personal use?
Listen, I know it's fun to be contrary, but you didn't respond to what I actually wrote at all. It's not a paradigm shift because we're sharing resources, it's a shift because the machines themselves no longer matter. I am still having to remind people cons
Distributed computing was around for years. Someone decides to call it "Grid computing". Nope.. Not sexy enough. Someone calls it "Cloud" and it takes off.
Winning definition from Stackoverflow was:
"Cloud Computing. n. Yet another buzzword for services on the internet to trigger silicon valley VC's 'NextBigThing(R)' reflex, thus attracting some money which otherwise be spent on a new yacht."
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1349894/difference-between-cloud-computing-and-distributed-computing [stackoverflow.com]
What IBM meant to say was that with the obscurity provided by The Cloud, more resources can be moved out of the US and somewhere, anywhere, where they can get a better tax and salary deal. The Cloud IBM is referring to is not the cloud of cloud computing, it the Cloud of Global Management where resources can be shifted to the area of Least Responsibility.
Recent investments will yield a slight profit.

- Rams Team Captains to play in Amsterdam this summer -
Farmingdale, N.Y. - Junior midfielders Nicole Marzocca (North Babylon, N.Y.) and Christy Thoden (Bayport, N.Y.) are ready to represent Farmingdale State College and the USA on a ten day tour this summer from Paris to Amsterdam with American International Sports Tours (AIST).
The duo will play on the 19-player roster made up of players from Division I - Albany and Temple; Division II - Bloomsburg and Chestnut Hill; and Division III schools - Farmingdale State, Marymount, Shenandoah, St. Mary's (Md.) and Wittenberg.
Marzocca and Thoden will certainly be an asset for the team on the tour. Both players have already stamped the record books after just two seasons and are on track to leave as the all-time leading scorers at Farmingdale State, among multiple other record stats.
Marzocca, a two-time All-Skyline selection, is ranked 3rd offensively at FSC with 159 career points, which includes 105 goals and 54 assists. She currently holds an average of 5.00 points per game, which ranks #1 for the Rams career records. She also is ranked 2nd all-time for goals per game (3.26), 3rd for points (159), 4th for assists (54) and game-winning goals (4) and 5th for goals (105) and Draws (67).
Thoden also is a two-time All-Skyline selection and is 5th on the offensive list at FSC with 142 career points (77 goals and 65 assists). Last season she was also an ECAC All-Star and IWLCA All-Region selection, along with being named to the Farmingdale State Top-10 at the annual athletic banquet. Thoden holds school records for career draw controls (246), caused turnovers (84), game-winning goals (13) and assists per game (1.97). She also carries the 2nd most career ground balls (122), 3rd most points per game (4.30) and assists (65) and the 5th most goals per game (2.33).
AIST has been taking top level athletes to compete in international tournaments in more than 22 different countries since 2002. The tour receives invitations to participate in tournaments from around the world. Most of the tournaments have national teams competing as well as local club teams. They also set up exhibition games when possible before tournaments to give the athltes more opportunity to compete. Most of the teams will get between 5-7 games in a ten day period. The rest of the tour involves sightseeing and cultural education.

Yes, I admit it, I watch Big Brother and have since Season One. Sue me. Mr. Laffy and I have no idea why we started, considering we're not fans of reality [sic] shows... which is ironic, because Mr. Laffy writes/produces reality shows. (Before you ask how one writes an unscripted show: He writes host dialog and figures out how to whittle down over 300 hours of footage to create a storyline for a 41-minute show.) So anyway.
Last year Big Brother had, erm, issues. Racist issues. Nasty ones. Ugly ones. Involving two blonde women targeting their fellow African American, Asian, and gay house guests. It was not easy to watch, the viewer backlash was loud and clear, and they both got fired from their jobs. But one of them came in second and was rewarded for her on-air behavior with thousands of dollars, despite her vile conduct.
Clearly, CBS, squirming amid the uncomfortable howls of protest, has learned a thing or two and is making every attempt to improve the screening process of this season's contestants.
The Los Angeles Times:
Absent in the promotion of the new season however has been any mention of the elephant in the "Big Brother" living room — the racist and homophobic comments that clouded last season, but did bolster ratings.
Key words: Bolster ratings.
In TV land, ratings are everything. Without ratings, shows go to TV Heaven (or Hell, depending on the show), with some exceptions of course. But CBS knows better than to repeat this particular mistake, especially one that was so egregiously offensive. Right?
But already a similar controversy is heating up. Fan websites discovered this week homophobic and racially inflammatory comments on social media from new cast member Caleb Reynolds, an "adventure hunting guide" who lives in Hopkinsville, Ky. In commentary on his Instagram account, Reynolds referred to President Obama as a "Muslim monkey" and used an anti-gay slur.
CBS's response? No comment. No comment about whether Racist Caleb will be a house guest. No comment about whether they knew about his disgusting racist, bigoted "commentary." Only silence, per the L.A. Times.
I guess they're weighing whether boosting the number of more rubbernecking viewers and spiking media coverage trump prejudice and hatred. That should be an easy choice. If CBS has to mull this one, then Big Brother will be evicted from my house.

CHRISTMAS is a great time, but not if you are an unwanted pet.
Warrnambool RSPCA shelter manager Tracey Scott said the week before Christmas had followed the tradition of being the shelter's busiest time of year, with people bringing in unwanted pets.
Ms Scott said many brought in animals — cats in particular — because they were going away for the festive season or because they were getting another animal for Christmas to replace the one they had.
She said a large number of receivals this week had pushed the shelter's capacity to accommodate cats to the limit, with 120 cats and kittens presently in residence.
The shelter also had 40 dogs and other animals, including rabbits and guinea pigs.
She urged people buying a pet for someone as a Christmas present to take the recipient with them to help choose the animal and to make sure the recipient was aware that pet ownership was a lifetime responsibility.
With the weather warming up, pet owners should also ensure their animals had shelter, lots of clean water and were not left in cars.
During New Year's Eve fireworks, pets should be kept in a place they cannot flee from and be microchipped so they can be identified and returned to owners if they run off.
Meanwhile, people who are financially disadvantaged in Portland and Warrnambool will be able to get discounted or free desexing or microchipping of their cats.
Member for South West Coast Denis Napthine said the services would be provided by the RSPCA animal shelters in Warrnambool and Portland with money provided by the state government's Animal Welfare Fund.
"As a vet, I know it is very important that we ensure local animals are protected from neglect and abuse and ensure we don't have any unwanted kittens who could be dumped in the bush and become feral cats targeting native wildlife," Dr Napthine said. "It is estimated there are 500,000 homeless cats in Victoria.
"These cats live a life of deprivation, often carry diseases and suffer as a direct result of indiscriminate breeding."
Desexing reduces the number of unwanted litters born and microchipping helps lost cats be reunited with their owners.
"I would encourage anyone who might receive a kitten or cat for Christmas to talk to their local vet or the RSPCA about having the animal desexed and microchipped as soon as possible."

Letters - Bills will bring needed change in Washington
My husband, Kurt Bills, is running for U.S. Senate. I don't want to bring up issues -- just challenge you.
We've never been a political family or had aspirations to run for elected office. I'm a licensed, in-home child-care provider, and Kurt is an economics teacher. However, involvement in government and political affairs isn't someone else's job. It's our right and responsibility.
That's how it all began for us. Kurt became increasingly frustrated with the decisions made in Washington and our mounting debt, and he decided to run.
As I traveled around the state these past eight months, I learned a lot and became increasingly motivated. I met people who lost their homes, are struggling to keep their businesses alive, are trying to find work to support their family, are concerned about the debt and economy, or are hoping to retire. Young people wonder about their future. They all made me passionate about change needed in Washington. This is good. We all need a fire under us!
Whatever you believe, I encourage you to respectfully fight for principles, be informed about the candidates and issues, and exercise your right to vote. It's the best way your voice can be heard.
-- Cindy Bills, Rosemount

Leake homers, Reds hit 4 in 4-1 win over Braves
Leake homers, Reds hit 4 in 4-1 win over BravesCincinnati Reds center fielder Drew Stubbs (6) is congratulated by third base coach Mark Berry (41) after hitting a solo home run off Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Mike Minor in the first inning of a baseball game, Monday, May 21, 2012, in Cincinnati. (AP Photo/Al Behrman)
CINCINNATI (AP) Mike Leake was a sophomore at Arizona State the last time he got to round the bases at his own pace. Three years later, he finally got to do it again in the major leagues.
The right-hander hit his first career homer - the first of three solo shots in a row - and allowed only two hits over eight innings Monday night to lead the Cincinnati Reds to a 4-1 victory over the Atlanta Braves.
When Leake connected on a 1-2 pitch from Mike Minor (2-4) with two outs in the fourth inning, he sprinted around the bases with no outward show of celebration. Then, he sat in the dugout and watched Zack Cozart and Drew Stubbs also go deep within a 10-pitch span.
''I started a trend, I guess,'' Leake said. ''It was nice to see three in a row.''
Leake (1-5) finally got his first victory in eight starts this season, doing a little bit of everything. He struck out a season-high six and retired 14 in a row after Juan Francisco homered in the second inning.
''He was outstanding,'' said Stubbs, who had two of the Reds' four homers. ''That was a big performance for him. He'd been struggling. That should be a big boost for his confidence. I'm glad to see it.''
All the runs scored on solo homers at one of the majors' most hitter-friendly ballparks.
The Braves had a chance to tie it in the ninth, when the Reds' lack of a proven closer came into play again.
Jose Arredondo walked two batters with two outs before Sean Marshall retired Jason Heyward on a fly ball for his eighth save, completing the two-hitter.
Reds manager Dusty Baker did not use reliever Aroldis Chapman, who pitched in four of the previous five games. Chapman saved Sunday's 5-2 victory over the Yankees and Baker said Monday the hard-throwing lefty will get more chances to close when he's rested.
After the game, the Reds learned that Chapman had been arrested in central Ohio early Monday for speeding and driving with a suspended license. He has a court hearing set for June 6.
Minor had a strange outing. He went six innings and yielded five hits, four of them homers.
''I don't think it was the ballpark,'' Minor said. ''The pitches were up, and that's what they did - home runs. They were sitting on my best pitch tonight, which was my changeup. Three of the four homers came off changeups.''
The Reds were coming off a successful stay in New York that included three wins in five games against the Mets and Yankees. Back home, they got the best of another homer-filled game at Great American Ball Park.
Leake gave up a homer deep into the Braves' bullpen by Francisco in the second. The Reds gave up on the third baseman during spring training and traded him to the Braves for reliever J.J. Hoover.
The Braves got only one other runner as far as second base against Leake, who threw 98 pitches and walked one.
Stubbs started the Reds' biggest homer splurge of the season by connecting in the first inning. The Reds wasted a chance to break the game open in the second when Joey Votto flied out with the bases loaded.
Leake hit a high, 1-2 pitch into the stands in left field with two outs in the fourth. He sprinted around the bases without fanfare, then got a congratulatory knuckle bump from Baker on the top step of the dugout.
Cozart was in a 3-for-28 slump when he followed with another homer three pitches later, the fourth of the season for the rookie shortstop. Stubbs came to bat, ran the count full and hit his fifth homer. It was the first time three Reds batters homered in succession since Sept. 10 at Colorado, when Chris Heisey, Votto and Jay Bruce did it against Alex White.
After Stubbs rounded the bases for the second time and got congratulations from everyone in the dugout, he stopped by Leake for a brief chat - about hitting, no doubt.
Chipper Jones was out of the Braves' lineup for the third consecutive game with a swollen left calf, hit by a batted ball on Friday night. The Reds have put Jones' name on the side of the bases for the series, honoring him in his last season before retirement. Jones expects to miss another game or two.
NOTES: Brandon Beachy makes his second career start against the Reds on Tuesday. Mat Latos is 2-2 in five career starts against the Braves. ... The Reds hadn't hit more than three homers in any game before Monday. The Braves hadn't allowed more than three. ... Caleb Lloyd, a 20-year-old Reds fan in left field, caught two of the three homers in the fourth inning, one off a carom. ... The Reds will honor Jones on the field before the final game of the series Thursday, presenting him with one of the bases.

text: Before attending a Shpongle show, one has to prepare themselves for a soul searching journey. This is not the typical concert, nor is it a typical DJ rave type event. It is a hybrid of both, with a unique ability to assist the viewer to transcend to many different places. After all, isn't that why most of us enjoy the music of Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Enigma, or even Enya? By no means am I comparing Shpongle to any of these musicians, on the other hand, I am describing an experience. It is more than the typical music listening experience. It is truly a journey. On the band's website, there is a descriptive piece about them that reads:Dongle and Mongle are the only two other words rhyming with Shpongle...a strange hybrid of electronic manipulation and shamanic midgets with frozen digits squeezing the envelope and crawling through the doors of perception, find a new pair of dice...extra numbers and colours an infinite expanding bubble, filled with a bizarre, strange world of dripping hallucinatory wallpaper, a garden of earthly delights...........Shpongleland.....a place of well being, and reflective surfaces, morphing like an Anaconda's skin and shimmering like a million colour changing squids, at fifty fathoms.. truly unfathomable like separating water from its wetness, the Ineffable Mysteries unweave.....It is difficult to describe Shpongle because they are not even similar to any of their contemporaries like Amon Tobin or even the DJ that opened for them Phutureprimitive. It is like an inner vacation around the world for merely the price of a concert ticket.Shpongle has been frequenting Boulder a lot lately. The Boulder Theater has played host to the visual and sound escapade providing the ideal indoor setting for this type of elevation. As Simon Posford said himself during the encore, "Boulder is my favorite place."This time, he brought Phutureprimitive to open for him. Rain "The Musician" is an interesting story in his own right coming off of his brand new album Kinetik. But, don't ask him what kind of music he makes because he hates that question. He is a great example of someone who got laid off from his job, took a severance package, bought DJ equipment and is now living his dream of playing music for thousands. His show on this night resembled what it would sound like if the Transformers had a dance party. It is a fun, fast style of dub, but his most interesting song of the night had to be his "Mad World" from Donnie Darko remix. Hopefully, many of you reading this will catch him at Wakarusa Music Festival in a couple months.With the addition of a new video production artist named Zen, Posford came to Boulder this time to debut the Masquerade, which is what this tour is called. Appropriately, there were many fans in the crowd dressed up with their masks and other accessories to fit into the theme of the night. The beginning of the night started with some beautiful pyramid lasers with the silky sounds of India. There were some really beautiful Hindu sounding chants followed by a Buddhist drone song that had the crowd excited and moving early on. This motif lasted for most of the beginning of the show until the Latin sounds came ringing in and the dance party really kicked up. Shpongle is never really a social type event. As I mentioned earlier, it seems like an inner journey where most of the crowd seems to be reflecting for most of the show in their own worlds. It is meditative, and sometimes Posford has to remind the crowd to come back to earth as he screamed before the encore, "Keep it up!" The second to last song was a Celtic sounding Irish jig dance party with the industrial sounds of the bass resounding throughout the theater. "You are me and I am you," Posford said to the appreciative crowd. Then he came out for one more, and said, "Boulder, how can I resist you?" Shpongle is on a fairly large spring/summer tour including a few really fun festival gigs. If you have never been Shpongled, then I recommend you forsake all of your inhibitions and experience a great mix of sound and visuals.

letizia che trascende ogne dolzore.
i think it depends on what you are cooking. Shiitake's flavor is stronger than in other mushrooms I've tried.

are dried shiitake mushrooms very different from other dried mushrooms, or if I don't have them I could just use, for istance, dried porcini mushrooms?
Shitake are wonderful mushrooms; and yes, their flavor is different from other mushrooms. I've even noticed the difference between shitake from Japan and shitake from China. If you tried substituting button mushrooms, for instance, your dish would be flat in comparison to one with shitake.
And while both dried shitake and dried porcini are flavorful mushrooms, they are vastly different. I wouldn't interchange them.

A record crowd had its fill of sausage, puddin' and pancakes before perusing the booths of area businesses at the 17th annual Waynesboro Business Expo and Lions Club Pancake Breakfast Saturday morning.
WAYNESBORO — A record crowd had its fill of sausage, puddin' and pancakes before perusing the booths of area businesses at the 17th annual Waynesboro Business Expo and Lions Club Pancake Breakfast Saturday morning.
More than 900 people filled the cafeteria and lower hallways of Waynesboro Area Senior High School for the breakfast and business expo.
It was the highest attendance in the history of the event, according to Carlene Willhide, executive director of the Greater Waynesboro Chamber of Commerce.
"The response from everyone was just exceptional. I heard a lot of very good, positive feedback from everyone," she said. "We're very very fortunate to have a community that comes together like that. I think it shows what kind of community we are here in Waynesboro."
Allison Schuhart, membership and public relations manager for the chamber, said that the purpose of the expo is to make the community aware of the products and services available right here in Waynesboro.
The benefit is that expo-goers "get to have face-to-face contact with the business owners instead of over the phone," added Bernie McGarity, vice president of the chamber of commerce.
"A big side benefit is getting to see people you haven't seen all winter," he added.
Expo-goers could have cards stamped at the various booths to be in the running for prizes in the form of Visa gift cards. Mary Fox received a $200 gift card and Sherri Helfrick won a $100 gift card.
On display
Andrea Mowen from Summit Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Center in Waynesboro said that her office decided to participate in the expo to show the community what services the rehab center and wound clinic provide.
"Most people are glad to see our presence is still here," she said.
Sandy Good and Amanda Woodring of Bell Insurance were first-time participants this year. They said they decided to man a booth to show residents that the company serves the Waynesboro area even though its office is located in Greencastle.
In addition to businesses, candidates for judge, non-profit organizations and the Waynesboro Police Department set up displays for the morning.
"We hoped to foster more interest in the group," said Daryl Lehman, president of the Community, Fit, Fun, Friends, Run (CFAR) club, which sponsors the Mad Anthony half marathon in September.
"We wanted to show people we're not just distance runners," he said.
The club has walking programs and supports running programs in the Waynesboro Area Middle and High Schools through monetary donations and its Running Shoe Recycle program.
Representatives from Antietam Humane Society were present at the expo in an effort to increase adoptions from the shelter. Those representatives included Callie, a calico cat, and Pippy, the Chihuahua.
"We're trying to increase our exposure in the area and increase the adoption rate," said Andrea Haugh, executive director of the shelter.
Haugh, along with board member Brandi Luther, showed off Callie and Pippy to many passersby who wanted to pet the animals. They accepted monetary donations as well, talking about the needs of the shelter.
Flipping for breakfast
In the kitchen, members of the Waynesboro Lions Club cooked up 450 pounds of sausage, 130 pounds of puddin' and more than 84 five-pound bags of pancake mix for the breakfast's hungry patrons.
Planning for the breakfast began in December, and members arrived at 5 a.m. Saturday to start cooking the food. Between 30 and 40 Lions volunteered for the breakfast
"For a small club, you just step in and help. It's fun, and everyone does their part," said Jim Bowersox, chairman of the pancake breakfast committee.
Richard Shook, who has been a member of the Lions Club since 1957, said that the group has hosted a pancake and sausage breakfast for more than 65 years.
Many in Saturday morning's breakfast line have also been coming to the event for a long time, some for decades.
"It's kinda like a family tradition," said Joann Baker of Waynesboro, who was at the event with her children and grandchildren. "We come every year."
It was the first time for one member of the Baker crew, Kelcy Brown from Colorado, the girlfriend of Baker's grandson Kevin Kline.
Brown enjoyed the pancakes and sausage but wasn't too keen on the morning's other dish, the meat-filled puddin', a southcentral Pennsylvanian staple.
"I'm not a big fan. We don't have that in Colorado."

Miners take back series lead, win Game 3
ROSSITER — The Rossiter Miners now hold a 2-1 series lead over the Brookville Grays after winning Game 3, 13-5, Wednesday.
Game 4 will be played at 6 p.m. tonight in Brookville.
"It was huge to come out and get a win like that," Miners manager Rick Matthews said. "We starting hitting the ball again, so that was huge."
The Miners combined for 10 hits — four better than their first two games combined.
Rossiter's offense was led by Matt Gourley, who started the scoring by hitting a rocket to deep right field which landed over the fence. His home run also scored Braedon Pennington.
Gourley also hit a triple in the second with the bases loaded, scoring Austin Furman, Jacob Stumpf and Pete Meterko, to account for three of his five RBIs.
Brookville combined for four runs during the first two innings, and Rossiter was trailing heading into the bottom of the second.
But it was the second inning was the one that pushed Rossiter over the top, as it scored eight runs and went around the batters.
Mike Smiley led off the inning getting to first base off an error by Brookville's shortstop. Kyle Neal then got on base after hitting a grounder up the middle, moving Smiley to second. Austin Furman was walked, and Jacob Stumpf played small ball with the bases loaded. He hit a perfect bunt, scoring Smiley.
The bases were still loaded when Pete Meterko was walked, giving an unearned run to Neal.
After Pennington was struck out for the first out of the inning, Gourley barreled another hit to the deep outfield. He tripled and scored the three runners in front of him, and the Miners had taken back the lead, 7-4.
Gourley was then hit home by Smiley's grounder up the third baseline.
During Neal's second at bat of the stanza, he grounded up the middle, driving home courtesy runner Devin Neal and Smiley.
A fielder's choice which, caught Kyle Neal out at second, ended the inning with Rossiter leading 10-4.
The third inning was a shutout for both sides. During the top of the fourth, Brookville added a run and cut its deficit to five. Matt Isaac, who served as a courtesy runner for Cole Cook, was driven in by a grounder to right field by Ben Marzullo.
But the comeback was short-lived, as Marzullo and Kent Shick were left stranded.
Rossiter continued to add to its scoring prowess with Brody Lowmaster, running for Tommy Bush, and Kyle Neal were both driven in on a double to left field by Furman.
The Rossiter defense held the Grays to three shutout innings through the final three, with only two runners — Dan Walters and Jed Fiscus — getting into scoring position.
The Miners added a final insurance run during the bottom of the sixth, when Devin Neal, again running for Dakota Bish, was able to cross home plate off Furman's left field grounder.
Rossiters' pitching, which had been a point of struggle, especially during the second game of the series, greatly improved during Game 3. Tommy Bush threw the entire seven innings, allowing only five runs on twelve hits. He struck out three batters.
