On the same day Taylor Swift released a video for "Begin Again," a song about starting over after a bad breakup, word comes that the country singer's romance with Conor Kennedy is kaput.
Citing an unnamed source close to Swift, Us Weekly reported that the 22-year-old "You Belong to Me" singer and the 18-year-old grandson of Robert F. Kennedy have split.
"They quietly parted ways a while ago," the friend told the magazine. "It was just a distance thing. No hard feelings. They're fine."
The pair were hot and heavy over the summer, with Swift and Kennedy spotted several times strolling hand in hand in Hyannis Port. Just two weeks ago, Ethel Kennedy, Conor's grandmother, raved about the country singer, and seemed to confirm a widely circulated rumor that Swift had plunked down $4.9 million — a tiny fraction of her sizable fortune — to buy a handsome 4,440-square-foot gray shingle house across the street from Ethel's place in Hyannis Port.
"I'm happy that we'll be neighbors," said RFK's widow. (No word if Swift now plans to sell the seaside spread.)
Even before she and Conor clicked, Swift had an interest — a fixation, you might say — with the Kennedys. In a 2011 profile in The New Yorker, the singer revealed that she likes to watch History Channel documentaries.
"I'm just so obsessed with the whole history of J.F.K. and R.F.K.," she said, adding that she had read a 900-page book called "The Kennedy Women."
In an interview in the new issue of Billboard, Swift talks about the songs on her new album, "Red."
"At one end of the spectrum you have 'Sad Beautiful Tragic,' which is a breakup song in the form of a funeral march," she says, "and you also have 'Never Ever Getting Back Together' again, which is a breakup song in the form of a parade."
We can only wonder where Conor fits into that "spectrum."
Of course, considering how often Swift has cycled through famous boyfriends — John Mayer, Joe Jonas, Taylor Lautner, and Jake Gyllenhaal, to name a few — it's perhaps surprising that she and young Kennedy, who's a senior at Deerfield Academy, lasted as long as they did. (Who's next? There's speculation that Swift might be sweet on Kennedy's cousin Patrick Schwarzenegger.)
But on the bright side, Swift will no doubt get a song out of the experience. She always does.

The Peninsula Oilers announced Monday that Kyle Richardson will be replacing John Stevens as head coach for the 2013 season.
Richardson, 25, has been an Oilers assistant for the past two years and is currently the head assistant at Yuba College in California. In 2011, the Oilers won the Alaska Baseball League and finished second in the National Baseball Congress World Series in Wichita, Kan. Last season, the Oilers finished second in the ABL.
"Kyle was with us the last two years and I just liked the way he managed the field and the players," said James Clark, general manager of the Oilers. "He can relate to players, but at the same time they respect him. They know who's in charge."
Clark said the baseball operations committee decided not to bring Stevens back. Clark said he makes recommendations to the committee, but he does not make the final decision.
"There were just some things we saw leadershipwise that we thought we would go in a different direction," Clark said. "We thought Kyle was good for that."
Once the Oilers decided to go in a different direction, Clark focused quickly on Richardson. As one of the top summer programs in the country, he said he received 30 resumes from coaches last summer.
"What worked in favor of Kyle is I got to see him hands-on every day," Clark said. "It really impressed me the way he was able to relate to the guys and get them to listen."
For Richardson, the job continues a rapid rise since he completed his playing career at Cal State Bakersfield in 2010.
Dennis Machado, the Kenai Central graduate who coached the Oilers to the ABL title in 2011, was the pitching coach at California State University, Bakersfield while Richardson was a player there.
Machado wanted to bring Richardson up to Alaska as a volunteer assistant in 2011, but when Machado's other assistants couldn't make the trip, Richardson was made a paid assistant.
"We talked a little bit that summer about me being a head coach," Richardson said. "He taught me a lot about how to manage a bullpen, and keep pitchers fresh and ready to pitch."
When Machado departed after the 2011 season, Richardson said he continued to learn a lot from Stevens, whose speciality is hitting.
"They have two different styles and both of them work," Richardson said of the managing styles of Machado and Stevens.
Richardson said he was always preparing to be a head coach. He didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
"When I talked to Dennis I didn't think it would be three years," he said. "I thought it would be maybe five or six years."
After Stevens' initial disappointment, Richardson said that he and Stevens still talk about the team.
"It's not very often somebody is replaced by somebody and you still like that person," Richardson said. "I still talk to John all the time.
"If anybody was going to take over the team, John wanted it to be me. It's comforting in that sense. I don't want to speculate on the reasons they didn't bring him back. I thought he did a great job but the board decided to go in a different direction."
Richardson said he told Stevens he wished he could bring him back as the hitting coach. Stevens respectfully declined that offer.
Brandon Boren, who played with Richardson at Cal State Bakersfield, will take over as hitting coach. Boren is entering his first year as a coach at Cal State Bakersfield.
Boren hit .393 in his senior year at Cal State Bakersfield.
"He might not be as mechanically knowledgeable as John, but he knows how to approach the game from a hitting standpoint," Richardson said. "I saw him tear up Division I pitching for two years."
Machado broke from tradition as an Oilers head coach by not playing small ball. Swinging away continued under Stevens, and Richardson said he will continue to use the bunt as little as possible.
"Where it helps is with the development of players," Richardson said. "They're going to have to figure out how to hit a guy throwing 92 with stuff."
Ryan Stevens will take over as pitching coach. Stevens is not related to John Stevens or Dave Stevens, who is the brother of John Stevens and was the pitching coach last year.
Ryan Stevens is an assistant at Sierra College in California. Stevens and Richardson won a junior college state championship as players at Sierra in 2008.
"He's a very organized guy," Richardson said. "He's not a pitching guy by trade, but all these guys have pitching coaches at their own respective colleges. He will help with organization and making sure the pitchers do what their coaches have laid out for them."
John Kennedy, the head coach at Kenai Central, will return for a third year as assistant.
"He's one of the nicest people I've ever been around," Richardson said.
He said Kennedy knows all the things that make Alaska fun on the Kenai Peninsula and all the great places to eat while on the road.
Richardson and Clark have been working on putting the team together, and the roster is nearly complete. Richardson said he has been depending on contacts with connections to the Oilers, and also his own network.
"My first year, Dennis had me call the coach of every guy we had," Richardson said. "He said that when I was the coach, I'd have to be able to call those guys for myself. So I made connections with those coaches myself."
Richardson knows getting the head job with the Oilers so soon out of college is a huge opportunity, and he plans to prove himself.
"I don't feel like me being named the head coach is a fluke," Richardson said. "I've put in two quality years showing what I know. They just as easily could have opened up the job hunt to other names."
Even though Alaskans are just entering the months of winter and Richardson hasn't started his college season, Richardson is anxious to get up here.
"I know we're at Thanksgiving, but I think about it every day," he said.

Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy shot a 9-under 63 to take a two-shot lead at the Dubai Desert Classic on Thursday.
Tiger Woods headed a list of seven players tied for 10th at 4-under. Attempting to bounce back from last week's dismal performance and early departure at Torrey Pines, Woods hit four birdies in an unblemished round.
LEADERBOARD via Golf Digest: Dubai | PGA: Scottsdale, Ariz., begins today | Earnings

Woods is a two-time champion of the event.
McIlroy slipped to sixth in the world rankings after a disappointing 2013, in which his only victory came at December's Australian Open. But the signs for an improved 2014 are good for McIlroy, 24, who tied for second at the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship earlier this month.
He produced a blemish-free round at the Emirates Golf Club on the opening day of the European Tour event, carding seven birdies and an eagle on the par-5 third.

That gave him the tournament lead. Italy's Edoardo Molinari stood second, two shots back.
"It was really nice," said McIlroy, who won the tournament in 2009.
"I played really well from tee to green, drove the ball great again; I think I only missed a couple of fairways and only missed one green where I really had to get it up and down.
"I took advantage of how I am driving the ball and just need to do more of the same the next three days…I feel very comfortable with my game."
Woods hit half of the fairways in regulation, but needed only 25 putts. He made his first birdie of the year on a par 5, his opening hole at No. 10. Woods did not birdie any of the 12 par 5s he played last week at Torrey Pines, where he missed the 54-hole cut.
"I felt like it was a good day," Woods said. "I could have got a couple more out of it, just by making a couple putts from about ten feet or so but I hit a lot of good putts which was nice. Last week I didn't do it and it was nice to actually play well again."

In their final non-league bout of the season, Teddy Bridgewater and the seventh-ranked Louisville Cardinals will host the FIU Panthers at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium.
After taking some difficult losses in their first two games, the Panthers really suffered last time out with a 34-13 setback against FCS foe Bethune Cookman. The lost dropped the Panthers to 0-3 on the campaign. FIU already faced a team from the American Athletic Conference this season and was no match for UCF in a 38-0 shutout.
Three games in and Louisville has been able to keep itself on track for a national title run. The Cardinals are 3-0 after a tough road test against instate rival Kentucky last time out. Bridgewater struggled more than usual, completing just 16-of-28 pass attempts, but it was enough to lift the Cardinals to a 27-13 win and keep their record unscathed. With a win on Saturday, Louisville will be 4-0 for the second straight season and just the ninth time since 1946.
"We're always playing against ourselves and not the opponent. The guys have to understand that even though we're in the position that we're in, we have to get better and we're going to get better," Louisville head coach Charlie Strong, who has constantly downplayed the Cardinals success, said.
This is the third straight season the Cardinals and Panthers have met, after never having matched up previously. The Cardinals took the contest on the road, 28-21, a year ago, while the Panthers got a 24-17 victory in 2011. The Panthers' win came in Papa John's Cardinal Stadium.
The Panthers have been searching for answers on offense. In the first three games they have managed to score just 23 points total, while averaging 191 yards of total offense. With the lack of production, FIU is at the bottom of Conference USA in both scoring and total offense, while second to last in both categories nationally.
Jake Medlock will likely continue to be the starter at quarterback for the Panthers, though E.J. Hilliard has gotten looks in each game this season. Medlock has completed just 54.5 percent of his pass attempts and totaled only 303 yards and one touchdown. The one score came against Bethune Cookman, as did his lone interception. A lack of protection in the pocket has hurt Medlock's performance as he has been sacked eight times.
After a quiet first two weeks, when he had just 44 yards on six receptions, T.J. Lowder burst open with six receptions for 125 yards and a touchdown against Bethune Cookman. Only Fred Porter (six receptions, 77 yards) and Jonnu Smith (seven receptions, 54 yards) are anywhere close to those kinds of numbers.
Running the ball has been nearly impossible for FIU. The Panthers are averaging just 1.9 yards per carry with leading rusher Lamarq Caldwell only managing 144 yards on 44 carries in three games.
It is not as if the Panthers have been losing just because of offensive struggles. FIU has been as porous as any team in the country on defense, allowing 38.3 points and 438.3 yards per game.
Greg Hickman (5.5 tackles for loss) and Isame Faciane (5.0 tackles for loss) have been the lone bright spots for the Panthers, with each helping create negative plays at a solid rate. In fact, the Panthers have 22 tackles for loss on the season, ranking third in the league.
Against Kentucky, Bridgewater looked human for the first time this season. With 16 completions, 250 yards and a single touchdown, Bridgewater had easily his worst game of the year. If there was a positive it was that Bridgewater did not turn the ball over. Even with the pedestrian outing, he is a superior talent and should be back in line with his season numbers (62-of-88, 1,002 yards, 10 TDs, INT) more often than not, especially this week.
"He missed some throws, but sometimes, he's going to play like that," Strong said of Bridgewater's performance against Kentucky. "I always tell our guys that even if our offense isn't playing well, the defense has to play well, which the defense did."
Luckily for Bridgewater, or perhaps because of him, the Cardinals' roster is filled with productive offensive playmakers. DeVante Parker (13 receptions, 257 yards, four TDs) and Damian Copeland (12 receptions, 211 yards, three TDs) are one of the most explosive receiving tandems in not only the American Athletic Conference, but the nation as a whole. Eli Rogers (eight receptions, 160 yards) and tight end Gerald Christian (10 receptions, 129 yards, TD) provide even more depth.
"Sometimes, we get caught up, like how Teddy's (Bridgewater) playing. We forget about how there's more players around him," Strong said.
The running game has also been strong behind Bridgewater. As a team the Cardinals are producing 173 rushing yards per game, with a trio of running backs leading the way. Senorise Perry paces the team in carries (37), yards (194) and rushing touchdowns (three), but Michael Dyer (22 attempts, 132 yards, TD) and Dominique Brown (25 attempts, 98 yards) provide plenty of help.
Even with all the weapons on offense, Strong has maintained his identity as a defensive-minded coach. His unit this season has been stellar. The Cardinals are allowing just nine points per game and holding teams to 285 yards of total offense on average. Louisville has also succeeded in keeping teams from sustaining drives by allowing just 10 first downs on 41 third down attempts.
Preston Brown (24 tackles, 2.0 sacks) has been the leader for the squad. Lorenzo Mauldin (3.0 sacks) and Brandon Dunn (4.0 sacks) have provided a strong pass rush. The Cardinals have been adept at getting into the backfield as a team with 24 tackles for loss.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- County supervisors have approved a nearly $2 billion plan to tear down and rebuild the Men's Central Jail in downtown Los Angeles and also build a new women's facility.
City News Service says the Board of Supervisors approved the idea Tuesday. Staff was told to return in two months with a cost review and design specifications.
The plan calls for replacing the aging men's jail with a new facility by 2024 and building a campus-like women's jail at a now-vacant facility in Lancaster.
Supervisors said a modern facility would improve conditions for some of the estimated 3,000 mentally ill inmates in the jail system. Federal officials are investigating treatment of the jailed mentally ill.
Supervisors also directed staff to study alternatives to jail for some inmates, such as diversion programs.

Lunar Rhythmicities in the Biology of Trees, Especially in the Germination of European Spruce (Picea abies Karst.): A New Statistical Analysis of Previously Published Data
Interest in the question of moon-related fluctuations in tree biology and physiology has been revived by recent experimental research, which could confirm the existence of real phenomena. In this context, previously published extensive data from germination tests on European Spruce using established standard devices, which appeared at the time to give negative results, has been analysed with the help of modern statistical tools. Slight but statistically significant lunar rhythmicities were revealed by this new analysis. One of these fluctuations is found in the germination rate from sowings shortly before Full Moon, compared to those shortly before New Moon.

The latest contest between the two elite programs was no different, as Rice used a surprising offensive onslaught to get past TCU in a 16-inning scrimmage at Dell Diamond.
For the Frogs, righthanded pitcher Andrew Mitchell and lefthander Brandon Finnegan were the primary stars. Mitchell topped out at 94 in a relief appearance, while Finnegan was a consistent and easy 92-93 with his fastball.
For the Owls, ace righthanded pitcher Austin Kubitza looked a lot more like his old self with good secondary stuff and a high 80s fastball, while newcomer Brian Harris gave the club something to smile about at the plate.
It's time to breakdown the contest between the Frogs and Owls, complete with notes, analysis and scouting reports on individual players.
* Though he's not listed on Rice's official roster, fans will soon know plenty about talented slugger Brian Smith. Smith, a late signee for the Owls, has an imposing frame and really hit the fastball well against the Horned Frogs. We'll see if he approaches secondary stuff as well in the spring, but it's so far so good for the Rice newcomer.

Imagine a solid structure being put under pressure, as the pressure increased a tiny fraction of the material is turned into liquid, my immediate idea is that this would weaken the structure increasing the risk of a collapse.
I was wondering about this as well. For as long as the liquid is, well, liquid, surely it wouldn't have any structural strength, so this would effectively make a building more likely to fall apart under stress. Or if the liquid solidifies quickly, what happens when a gap gets filled under temporary expansion and is then suddenly compressed? I'd put money on rubble.
In my opinion, a much more sensible idea for housing in earthquake prone areas can be found here [abc.net.au] (warning: contains video). It's designed to stay up and not crush people while an earthquake is happening. After the earthquake it can be safely demolished and rebuilt for a fraction of the cost of automagichanical fluidic nanobeads or fancy electrological shock absorber doodads.
But then low tech and simple solutions that just work are never as cool as nano electronic opto whatsits. Certainly not as profitable.
I totally support parents comments about low-tech.
Imagine a solid structure being put under pressure, as the pressure increased a tiny fraction of the material is turned into liquid, my immediate idea is that this would weaken the structure increasing the risk of a collapse.
I'm not sure. If nothing can liquify, then the high pressure will make everything crumble. A pile of sand, so to speak, doesn't have much structural integrity. Conversely, if part of the pressurised solids convert to liquid and thereby keep the rest of the solid material whole, I would think overall integrity would be stronger since the pressure which caused the liquifying in the first place also keeps everything pressed together. And once the pressure stops the liquids solidify again, thereby reinforcing the building's own structural integrity again in the absence of external pressure.
I'm Antoni Gaudi [greatbuildings.com], you insensitive clod!!!!People will have houses of strange bulging shapes
that turn into a liquid when squeezed under pressure, flow into cracks, and then harden to form a solid material.
It's Roland the Plogger again.
This sounds like a variation on self-sealing gas tanks [wikipedia.org], which were first used widely on World War II aircraft.
It's not all that hard to make earthquake-resistant buildings. You just have to have materials and joints with tensile strength. Steel frame buildings are seldom damaged by earthquakes. Wooden buildings with metal plates reinforcing the joints hold up well. Reinforced concrete does fine if there's enough rebar in the right places and the rebar is welded together.

If rdf-wg goes in this direction charter implications may be affected. 15:45:54 <Scott_Bauer> Ivan: no charter implications 15:46:12 <AlexHall> We are a RIF implementor. Presumably changes to OWL RL would be reflected as changes to the rules as expressed in the profiles doc. We can handle those changes quite easily. 15:46:21 <Scott_Bauer> Richard: The one without the datatype markings should imply the other form is still valid. 15:46:28 <LeeF> ivan, thanks, did not realize that XML results document was already in our charter, so that's something, at least 15:46:31 <davidwood> AlexHall, Thanks 15:46:51 <Scott_Bauer> ... the consumer has to be prepared to deal with eithe form. 15:47:32 <AZ> AZ has joined #rdf-wg 15:47:36 <davidwood> q? 15:47:38 <Scott_Bauer> David: Not sure where to take this discussion. 15:48:14 <Scott_Bauer> Andy: have one proposal to point to.

If a larger change is made it's a big change to solve a tiny thing. 15:52:53 <ericP> (ref to jjc's concearn that literals are too difficult 'cause they matter to too many folks) 15:53:11 <Scott_Bauer> ... strings with lang tags are not very comprehensive. 15:53:39 <Souri> I'll be happy if the only change we make is say that "abc" = "abc"^^xsd:string (and SPARQL query result could contain a string literal in either form and still be conformant) 15:53:40 <gavin> XML literals for language, oh god... No, no it isn't. 15:54:04 <Scott_Bauer> ... deprecation of lang type literals would make me happy 15:54:14 <LeeF> I'd be happy if Souri's happy 15:54:29 <Scott_Bauer> David: Key argument is we have lang type literals and rdf literals 15:55:02 <davidwood> The key argument is that we have plain literals, rdf:plainLiteral, and xsd:string literals. 15:55:05 <Scott_Bauer> Peter: Any OWL tool will handle any one of these and do the right thing 15:55:31 <gavin> I don't think anyone was 15:55:46 <Scott_Bauer> David: Who's objecting to collapsing the definitions 15:55:59 <LeeF> +10000 to leaving language tags aside :-) 15:56:08 <Scott_Bauer> Gavin: How to do it is the contentious issue 15:56:27 <Scott_Bauer> David: Would someone be willing to write up the propsal 15:56:31 <Scott_Bauer> Richard: 15:56:41 <Scott_Bauer> ...

Submission + - How Big Data Became So Big
theodp writes: The NYT's Steve Lohr reports that his has been the crossover year for Big Data — as a concept, term and marketing tool. Big Data has sprung from the confines of technology circles into the mainstream, even becoming grist for Dilbert satire ('Big Data lives in The Cloud. It knows what we do.'). At first, Jim Davis, CMO at analytics software vendor SAS, viewed Big Data as part of another cycle of industry phrasemaking. 'I scoffed at it initially,' Davis recalls, noting that SAS's big corporate customers had been mining huge amounts of data for decades. But as the vague-but-catchy term for applying tools to vast troves of data beyond that captured in standard databases gained world-wide buzz and competitors like IBM pitched solutions for Taming The Big Data Tidal Wave, 'we had to hop on the bandwagon,' Davis said (SAS now has a VP of Big Data). Hey, never underestimate the power of a meme!

Has the safety net for the poor become a 'comfortable hammock'?
Amid debate over Paul Ryan's controversial budget proposal [1] that some argue will hit the poorest Americans the hardest, Politico reports [2] that one of the big items on the chopping block for cuts is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), better known by its original name, food stamps.
More and more Americans are taking advantage of food stamp benefits and more businesses are willing to accept them [3] as payment, including fast food chains, gas stations, and convenience stores. That's led Florida Rep. Allen West to argue that the social safety net "has become a comfortable hammock" in which Americans gladly take advantage of government handouts rather than work to pay their own way.
Anyone who has taken the food stamp challenge [4] can tell you that SNAP benefits hardly provide a plush standard of living. As Catholic Charities of Baltimore's executive director Bill McCarthy reported after taking the challenge [5], "the $30 food stamp supplement that I lived on afforded very limited choices in food selection and very little discretionary spending. My diet of rice, beans, milk, eggs, peanut butter, raw carrots, and yogurt lacked fresh fruit, meat and variety."
Opponents of SNAP also seem to assume that people who receive these benefits are proud to do so. I was lucky enough not to be relying on food stamps while growing up, but I first encountered them while working as a grocery store cashier in high school. I could tell that people tried their best not to call attention to themselves when they had to pay with food stamps. Often I'd see a shopper buying basic staples--milk, bread, eggs--and they'd try to pay with whatever cash or loose change they had on hand. Only when they failed to cover the bill would they reach into their pocket for their food stamps to pay the balance.
The rise of SNAP recipients in recent years (and the subsequent attempt by businesses to cash in and avoid losing customers who can no longer afford their products) shows just how important the safety net is. Many Americans who have never had to seek help in feeding their families are doing so for the first time. I know the shame they carried when producing those vouchers for payment in the checkout line; I can only imagine the difficulty they face in coming forward for the first time to apply for aid.
Some religious leaders have strongly defended benefits [6] that help the poor and criticized the Ryan budget [7] for attempting to cut these benefits. Congressional Rep. Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut even reached out to Cardinal Timothy Dolan [8] to lend the church's voice to the appeal for protecting the needs of the most vulnerable. (Dolan, according to Catholic News Service, "had no immediate response" to DeLauro's request, a stark contrast to his response [9] on other issues.)
We need strong moral voices--and more importantly, real stories that are not steeped in rhetoric--to support the continued funding of the safety net. Contrary to what Allen West suggests it is not a "comfortable hammock" that people enjoy falling into. But for those who do find themselves in it, they are surely glad it was there because the alternative is much worse.

The first commercial fishing announcement of the season in the Upper Cook Inlet restricts commercial king salmon fishing in the Northern part of the inlet.
The setnet fishery, which has had an average of 53 permit holders during the last ten years, is comprised of fishermen on both the East and West sides of the Cook Inlet who will see their first fishing period closed in response to king salmon conservation concerns.
Alaska Department of Fish and Game Area Management Biologist Pat Shields said six systems in the Northern District of the Upper Cook Inlet were considered stocks of concern and despite similar restrictions to the commercial king fishery in 2012 — including closures in the early commercial sockeye salmon fishery — a number of systems failed to meet king salmon goals.
Although harvest of early run king salmon in the commercial fishery has been low when compared to the rest of Cook Inlet — setnetters caught an average of 1,540 fish during the last four fishing seasons according to Fish and Game data — Shields said the fishery is still valuable.
"It's the first king salmon fishery, our first commercial salmon fishery and the price that they get per pound for those king salmon is anywhere from two times to four times what they'll get later on," Shields said. "They can get $5 to $7 a pound ... it's not a large number of people that participate but it's an early season, important fishery for those folks and it's unfortunate that we have to restrict, but it's happening to everybody. It's happening to the sport fishery also."
The emergency order also closed a section of the Northern District known as the General Subdistrict, located from a point about three miles south of Tyonek up to the Susitna River.
Shields said the area was closed per the Northern District King Salmon Management Plan which specifies that if the Chuitna River is closed to sportfishing, the commercial king salmon fishery must close as well.
Setnet fishermen in the rest of the Northern District who participate in the fishery use one net and will be restricted from their normal 12-hour fishing periods — each Monday in June — to six-hour periods.
Shields said commercial fishermen were restricted similarly in 2012 during the early king salmon run.
Most commercial setnet fishermen in the Upper Cook Inlet are scheduled to begin fishing June 27, except for those in the Kenai and East Forelands section who are scheduled to begin fishing July 8, however managers in both the commercial and sportfishing divisions of Fish and Game have said they will manage conservatively during the upcoming fishing season to protect king salmon.

retroworks writes: "According to a story in Digitimes, Acer chairman JT Wang is predicting the end of "tablet fever". "Commenting on tablet PC's impact on the notebook industry, [Wang] pointed out that tablet PC fever is already starting to cool down and consumers are also being attracted by notebooks again with Intel's Ultrabooks and Microsoft's Windows 8 the major attractions." Back to the old model then... PC and laptop sales, driven by Windows upgrades?"

But for those of you who've given the cut direct, do you think those who know about it should avoid mentioning the person at all?
I think warren needs to grow up. You are kind to minimize your mentions of Kyle and Adam but you should not be attacked (verbally or emotionally) if their names come up. Warren is acting like a big petulant baby and I'd probably tell him off after one of two times of him loosing his temper over the mention of Kyle or Adam, especially if its in answer to a question he asked, or if the person who mentioned them had no idea about the history.
I have to POD pinkflamingo. My gut feeling is that Warren is probing for info.The first time I might cut him a little slack. He asks, I answer, he blows up, I say, Sorry, I thought you wanted to know in full.But the next time? He asks, I give the Look: the last time you asked, you got upset with me. Should I answer or drop the question?Warren can't have it both ways. If you don't want me to mention someone, don't probe.
Start calling Adam 'Voldemort' in any conversation where his name comes up.Seriously, though, I agree with WillyNilly.
If Warren has a problem with hearing Adam's name, that's his own problem to deal with.While I wouldn't go out of my way to bring up the topic of Adam, I wouldn't censor myself around him.

ok, went through hell to upgrade the firmware on my m225, then put it back in my macbookpro just to confirm it makes no difference to the windows bootcamp deal...
so thats it? no way to install bootcamp?! pathetic....
OK, so we know that incompatibility stops my $700+ 256GB Crucial SSD from doing what it was bought to do: Run Windows7 fast on my MacBook Pro.
A Fact: Apple sells 90% of ALL notebooks in the U.S. priced over $1000. Apple's market share should make Crucial responsive to customers needs, BIG TIME, given this is a core product growth area. Crucial needs to state what solution/s are available to the 90% of laptop users in the U.S., some of who NEED windows on their Macs.
This is not too much to ask and the solutions are limited: Special firmware, software, installs or just a new Crucial SSD with appropriate guarantee of merchantability for the task. SSD's have to be a core product at Crucial and a solution or solutions certainly exists, so lets hear it straight right now.
Crucial Moderator: Please consult with top SSD management and get us a "straight" SOLUTION. No canned answers. Get a REAL solution so all of us users can offer a solution to the other dozens of Mac laptop users we know and interact with on a routine basis. That is what this forum is for. This is the same sort of solution I must answer for my work everyday. If I gave "no current solution" as an answer, I would be out of business.
From a User's Standpoint: Buying a nearly $800 boat anchor is not an easy pill to swallow. You support us, and we support you. Turn about is fair play.
Many Thanks - Bo
To Clarify My Prior Post Asking for BootCamp Solutions for the M225: My 2008 early MBPro Mac OSX 10.6.2 with the 256Gb SSD works wonders in that it drops boot, opens & save times by about half over my prior 7200 rpm HD. That is great…as far as it goes. In today's world, half way is not far enough.
Macro Perspective: Not running Windows7 (XP & Vista, too) in native mode via Boot Camp means carrying 2 laptops on the road. That conservatively adds nearly 15 pounds extra to wang around all day, and that hurts. Worse yet, it makes me look like a wonky programmer, pulling out two laptops.
In other words, an SSD that cuts my physical load in half is why I spent $1000 on the SSD and the extra Crucial memory (6GB) so I could stay 'up to snuff'.
Crucial may look at it as if it is a minor issue (probably only a $250 cost to Crucial to make the M225 SSD), but to us users who bought in good faith, we have been left hanging with a large expenditure. That is not good P.R.
With the new MB Pros due to come out in March, we will start all over wanting to know if both OLD & NEW Crucial SSDs are going to support Boot Camp "Out of the Box", or whether the "old" Crucial SSDs will run and support Boot Camp in the new machines.
Can we have some direct reply on the situation?

Not meaning to start a flame war but I do like the fact that Macs greatest claim to fame effectively involves being high priced.
Would be nice for some official comment as to whether the fault lies with SSD's Or Apples EFI though. I suspect the EFI seeing as early Intel drives didn't work either - though their later drives with a later version of the boot loader (not firmware) do work. So the question is - did Intel work around an EFI problem in which case these complaints should be at Apple? Or did both main SSD competitors (Intel and Indilinx) happen to have the same fault?
I have no complaint about Macs being high priced & no flame war is ever needed.
For me to run SolidWorks 3D & FEA analysis applications like Mold Flow means I have $20k+ in software on the Windows side). So much for cost savings in any significant % of the total system price.
Buying a Dell that is CAPABLE of running those things fast is…well let's see. I just used one at SolidWorks World. A simple 4 step mold fill application took 30 minutes to render on the M6400. That is 30 minutes for one short analysis.
The Dell M6400 that ran it (not as fast as I would like) was about $4,882, not including tax or shipping & I would prefer the nextgen chipset.
I figure the next generation MacBook Pro (due in March) decked out w/8 GB memory and at least the 254GB Crucial SSD is going to be more cost effective and safer all the way around than a Dell M6400.
I don't do flame wars. Facts suffice.
so, will this problem be fixed by crucial?
According to Crucial, it is Apple's problem. Crucial is particularly closed mouth. That is ad odds with Crucial's policy on memory chips where they tell you each specific computer model and exactly which chip works. Crucial DOES NOT do so with the SSDs.
The early 2008 Mac Book Pro has a boot loader apparently that has an error that prevents it acknowledging the Crucial SSD I noted.
You can apparently hack the Mac Book Pro with some open source stuff (maybe http://sourceforge.net/projects/refit/) to make it work. I am not so sure about this as I don't find easy confirmation anywhere.
Everyone seems so **bleep** closed mouthed about this it is frustrating. What is the BIG secret here? All I want is a simple statement of what the workaround is and neither Crucial or Apple wants to talk about it.
I'm also affected by this problem. I was able to successfully partition the disk to allocate space for the Windows partition, and also successfully installed Windows 7 (tried both 32 bit and 64 bit versions). The problem is that upon restart after finishing the first stage of the Win7 install, the computer would bluescreen at boot.
My computer:
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro5,3
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.8 GHz
Boot ROM Version: MBP53.00AC.B03
SMC Version (system): 1.48f2
Crucial - please step up and find a solution to this problem!!!!
Still no solution for this? What's taking so long?

Inspiration Monday: Primary Colors

Well, it took me awhile to get inspired today. Atlanta is about 20 degrees hotter than Hades right now, and it's made a slug of me! Lately I've found myself clipping out a lot of red, blue and yellow and chucking them in my inspiration box. Here's the board that resulted when I threw them all together:
One look I love in modern design is a neutral palette with a few accents in primary colors – a few pillows, a painting, a vase of sunflowers. They can give a room a perfect graphic punch.

I'd like to ask some help.
I've got a problem in jsp. I've created a page and included some Russian strings in it. While it was an .htm file, there were no problems since I've put the setting like this:
<title><fmt:message key="View" bundle="${resourceBundle}"/></title>
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content='text/html;charset="UTF-8"'>
But since I renamed the file as .jsp to add some funcionality, the browser shows in ISO-8859-1 encoding, and I have to set the encoding manually in the browser settings (View->Character encoding).
It appears that the problem is not in the server (I use Sun Java System Application Server 9.1_02), but in the browser, since after I set the browser setting, it shows correctly.
Is there any solutions for this?
Any help would be appreciated.

It's easy to forget while watching a show titled "Under the Dome" that, in the beginning, the characters might not know they're under it. That light bulb turned on this week in Chester's Mill, at least for the people who still have power. I'm going to run it down for you now, and try to remember all 100 of the characters' names.
We open to a flashback of Barbie killing Julia's husband, which is awkward because he's sleeping in her house. Barbie goes back to the scene of the crime to retrieve his dog tags that he lost there. Junior, resident crazy person, follows him there because he thinks Barbie has been sleeping with his girlfriend Angie, the one he locked in a storm cellar. Barbie easily takes him down, but Junior runs back and tells Angie he killed him. Junior continues to go through weird mood swings, chains Angie to the furniture, etc. kind of like the boy band version of Kathy Bates in "Misery" (you know, that other Stephen King story).
Outside of Junior's basement, Chester's Mill is a mess. There's no electricity or phone service, the sheriff died when the dome exploded his pacemaker, and nobody knows who's in charge. For whatever reason, the only thing working is the radio. So newspaper editor Julia goes to the radio station to see what they know, even though print journalism is all but dead both inside and outside of the dome. As soon as Julia learns that they are under said dome, she immediately broadcasts it to everyone in town, without ever double-checking her sources or the facts. She will be a shoe-in for a job at CNN if they ever get out of there.
So by now, everyone knows they're under a dome, and Councilman Jim very much wants to be the new leader. He is apparently "in on it" with the town reverend, whatever "it" means (I assume the whole dome thing). The reverend sneaks off to the dead sheriff's house to destroy some "documents" about "it." He dramatically burns them in a trashcan fire when he could have just thrown them away, and as a result sets the house on fire. The fire department is on the other side of the dome, so the town adorably works together to throw buckets of water on it as the fire spreads. Jim shows up with a bulldozer, saves the day, and gives an uplifting speech that, if I didn't know better, I would say he wrote in his head on the way over there. A rogue police officer ruins the moment by saying they're all going to die anyway. He shoots a bullet at the dome, which bounces off and kills one of his colleagues.
Next week, Chester's Mill will grow closer to anarchy and there may potentially be aliens involved. Just another day in the dome.

It seems everyone in the California education world has taken a position on three propositions that will impact education funding: Proposition 30, Proposition 32, and Proposition 38. Next Tuesday, voters -- who, for the most part, have been out of school for some time -- will decide the fate of these propositions.
So what do people in the school system today have to say about these propositions? I turned to young people who are members of our GSA Network Statewide Advocacy Council and asked: should GSA students should take a position on the ballot propositions?
Jack Davis: I think we should! And if we teens, some voters, support and endorse it, other young people will be more likely to listen and spread the word because it's not adults or political ads telling them.
Sarah Harker: I've been talking to teachers about these bills and they actually prefer 30 to 38. I am totally for endorsing all of them, however 30 will, from a purely economic standpoint, be better for the schools over all.
Anna Sturla: I support Propositions 30 and 38 because I think that for too long we've been paying lip service to our desire for better schools, but we have not been willing to actually dig in our heels and fight to cut funding. With both propositions, California voters get a chance to take power in their own hands and save our educational system. Will it mean that we all have to pay a little more? Yes. But I think California's future is worth it. As for Proposition 32, I'm a little more on the fence. I respect each worker's right to decide which candidate or cause her/his/their money supports. However, I think unions should be allowed to collectively defend the rights of the workers they represent.
Calen Valencia: I fully support Prop. 30 because, although it's another tax added to the people, it's toward something progressive and well worth it. When a student at my school asked our congressman what his plans were to better our school funding, he twisted it around to say that he was implying our school had bad teachers. The student then made a comment that they weren't bad teachers, just underpaid and over-worked. This proves that not only are teachers paying the price, the students are too. And little to no funding in such a big state like California means very few resources go to average students like me. It means bigger classrooms, and less one-on-one support for students struggling like myself. This proposition is supported by well-meaning people and groups like Governor Jerry Brown (Sponsor), CTA, CFT, CA Police Chiefs Association, League of Women Voters, as well as the CA Democratic Party and 35 newspapers.
Of those youth on the Statewide Advocacy Council polled, only 5% said they engaged in voter registration efforts, with 2% currently engaged in proposition campaigns. And none of the youth polled said teachers had taken a leave of absence to help out with the election.
Meanwhile, $6 billion in additional education cuts are on the table.
Just like people died for the LGBT movement, and for the right to equal schools free of discrimination, people fought for the right to vote.
Calen Valencia: I've educated and encouraged people of age that were skeptical about voting.
Like Calen and other SAC members, let's encourage registered people to educate themselves about the propositions and vote this election. And encourage others who can't vote to educate themselves, have an opinion, and help registered voters get to the polls.
GSA Network has taken a stance on these propositions. See our statement for more information.

Submission + - How Common is Scientific Misconduct?
Hugh Pickens writes: "The image of scientists as objective seekers of truth is periodically jeopardized by the discovery of a major scientific fraud. Recent scandals like Hwang Woo-Suk's fake stem-cell lines or Jan Hendrik Schön's duplicated graphs showed how easy it can be for a scientist to publish fabricated data in the most prestigious journals. Daniele Fanelli has an interesting paper on PLOS One where she performs a meta-analysis synthesizing previous surveys to determine the frequency with which scientists fabricate and falsify data, or commit other forms of scientific misconduct. A pooled weighted average of 1.97% of scientists admitted to have fabricated, falsified or modified data or results at least once -a serious form of misconduct by any standard- and up to 33.7% admitted other questionable research practices. In surveys asking about the behavior of colleagues, admission rates were 14.12% for falsification, and up to 72% for other questionable research practices. Misconduct was reported more frequently by medical/pharmacological researchers than others. "Considering that these surveys ask sensitive questions and have other limitations, it appears likely that this is a conservative estimate of the true prevalence of scientific misconduct," writes Fanelli. "It is likely that, if on average 2% of scientists admit to have falsified research at least once and up to 34% admit other questionable research practices, the actual frequencies of misconduct could be higher than this.""

I see a team that the media has been obsessed with since the Tebow trade trying to sabotage their entire season before it even started.
The NFL had to put "special monitors" on the New England Patriots for obvious reasons, is that dysfunction?
And really, what can we really believe what comes out in the news these days involving this team? There is so much bull**** and crap and media members jumping on other media members, the circus has always been with the pencil-neck dorks that have a credential to influence us everyday in a local tabloid that has recently become National Enquiresque in the quality of its work.

Under the federal Affordable Health Care Act, businesses are required to notify employees about the state-run health insurance exchanges that open Oct. 1.
But penalties — $100 per employee for companies that do not inform workers — were eliminated late last week.
Local insurance brokers are still are urging employers to tell workers about the exchanges.
"It's like a public service to their employees and family members of employees and neighbors who may not be getting the word," said Bob Aita of Aita Associates in Sebastopol.
The online exchanges are marketplaces for consumers to shop for health insurance plans under Obamacare. The notification rule applies to businesses of any size, whether they offer insurance to employees or not.
Despite the ruling on penalties, the wisest course is to make sure employees are notified using forms that brokers can provide, said Victor McKnight, partner at Edgewood Partners Insurance Center in Petaluma.
"In a full Department of Labor audit I would still be a little concerned if someone didn't do it," he said.

Oldies meet on line and marry within 10 months: "At our age... you don't have much time to waste."
And, let's face it, the downside risk is lower: There's less time to live with whatever mistake you may make.
So act, live, make up your mind, seize the day. As Steve Jobs once said:
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

Perhaps you've heard HMNS is celebrating its centennial this year? Well, ok, we've been mentioning it a LOT! After all, it's a pretty big deal and it's quite a bit of history to cover. So throughout this year you'll learn about all the major highlights of the museum's past. But sometimes, there might be quirky little bits that will sneak in, courtesy of me.
One of the many fun parts of my job as Associate Registrar is that I have easy access to the museum's history files. Usually I dig into them to research an object or specimen from the collection or occasionally a long-ago donor. Nearly always, I come across some odd fact I didn't know or realize about the museum or the city of Houston. Since I grew up here, I find it all interesting. But I've also been at HMNS such a long time that sometimes my personal memories prompt research into the files.
All of the HMNS staff is very aware of the museum's centennial year so it's not surprising that a lot of us have been doing a stroll down memory lane in regards to this place. I don't have any particular fondness or nostalgia towards miniature dollhouses, but for some reason I've been remembering an exhibit from my first year at HMNS.
| Pamphlet cover for
the dinner and auction
From what I've been able to dig up in the archives during the early to mid-1980s the HMNS Guild, along with the Houston Area Miniaturists Society, sponsored brief exhibits, lasting about three weeks in the Brown Hall, of miniature dollhouses and miniaturist scenes. There was a small fee for the exhibit and the funds went to the Guild. (A portion also went to the Miniaturist Society.)
I know, you're thinking HUH? But these exhibits were quite popular and brought in thousands of visitors during their brief time on view. The scenes ran the gamut from historical to fantasy; hospitals and farmhouses to Santa's workshop.
In 1984 one "room box" was a depiction of Prince William's nursery. So popular were these miniatures that the Guild had one in the live auction at the 1985 Wild Game Dinner. As it was described in the program:
"A Miniature Mansion: The two-story plus attic, electrically wired, Williamsburg Colonial dollhouse is guaranteed to enchant adult and child alike. Each room is lovingly and individually furnished by creative Guild members." The winning bid was $3200.00 and was written about as the first item in Betty Ewing's society column in the Houston Chronicle. (For you youngsters, 1985 was an economically tough time for Houston, so that winning bid was a pretty good sum for a dollhouse.)
|Dollhouse of Prince William's nursery
My hazy memory of a dollhouse exhibit is from 1987 – I'm fairly certain it was the last one. I can't find anything beyond that year in the archives and I don't remember another one. Alas, I also can't find any good photos – just a few black and white news clippings – although there is a mention of Channel 13 doing an on-air story. So this was just one of those fleeting events that ran for a few years, a miniature moment in the museum's century-long history.

Health Tip: Choosing a Safe Christmas Tree
-- Before you install and decorate your holiday tree, make sure it's safe for you and your family.
The American Academy of Pediatrics mentions these guidelines for choosing a Christmas tree:
- Look for a fire-resistant label on any artificial tree.
- Make sure any live tree is fresh, with needles that bend between your fingers and do not easily fall off the tree. The trunk should also be sticky with sap.
- Place your tree away from a fireplace, portable heater or radiator, and make sure it does not block a doorway.
- To keep your live tree from getting too dry, chop off a few inches from the base of the trunk.
- Keep the tree stand filled with water.

Ok. Seriously. I know you love the Packers. And I know you're upset because...
A) Brett Favre is playing for the Vikings now.
B) Brett Favre and his Vikings kicked the crap out of the Packers last week.
C) Aaron Rodgers is getting sacked more often than he's completing passes.
D) You're probably going to finish third in the division behind the Bears and Vikings.
But you really need to CALM THE F*#K DOWN! It's just football. It's a game. You're going to have good seasons... and bad seasons... and a lot of mediocre seasons in between. There's no reason to STAB A VIKINGS FAN over it. No matter how much Vikings fans piss us all off sometimes.
Remember... You had plenty of bad seasons even when Favre was still playing for the Pack. And there was a LONG stretch in the 80's when the Packers plain out sucked. You'll get through it. Things will get better. At least you're not a Lions fan.
There's no reason to be a drunken idiot and stab someone. Let us Bears fans be the dicks of the NFC North. We've had plenty of practice, and usually no one gets stabbed over it.

IPv6 may no longer be a protocol without a product line thanks to a growing number of manufacturers designing and tweaking their products to support the next generation Internet standard. As one of the most competitive providers of networking solutions, TP-LINK is carrying through with its plan to improve its routers to ensure compliance with IPv6. TP-LINK is ready with a family of new and established networking products that comply with IPv6 by default or through firmware upgrades.
To benefit from the advances of the IPv6 technology, TP-LINK recommends its high-performance and IPv6 Ready dual-band routers. Current routers supporting IPv6 include the N600 TL-WDR 3500/3600 dual band router; the N750 TL-WDR4300 dual band gigabit router; and the N900 TL-WDR4900 dual band gigabit router. TP-LINK also has a family of ASDL products that support IPv6, which includes the TD-W8968 300Mbps Wireless N USB ADSL2+ Modem Router; the TD-W8970 300Mbps Wireless N Gigabit ADSL2+ Modem Router; and the TD-W8980 N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit ADSL2+ Modem Router. All products support IPv6 features (such as DHCP, Static, PPPoE, 6to4 and 6rd), which are applied by Internet Service Providers.
"The implication of every device having a unique IPv6 address is a boon for both home networks and mobile networks where latency is a factor," said Lewis Wu, Country Manager of TP-LINK USA. "But, rather than rebuilding their systems, many carriers have stayed with IPv4 and NAT because they felt it was too costly to switch. That decision is becoming a mute point."
