Beyond Thunder Dumb: When Lightning Strikes...
More than 80% of lightning fatalities are men who did not seek shelter from an approaching storm, but instead kept on fishing, boating, golfing, biking, or working outdoors. Be prepared by recognizing danger and knowing what to do and what not to do. If you can hear thunder, even a distant rumble, lightning is close enough to strike you. Immediately seek shelter in a substantial building or a metal-topped vehicle.

As the calendar turned to June, the U.S. Open was a highly anticipated event. Any major championship in golf is. But since that point, the events that transpired in the golf world have the 112th Open, which tees off today at the Olympic Club's Lake Course, oozing with intrigue. For starters, Tiger Woods rediscovered his roar at the Memorial on June 3, surging to victory on the final day, vintage fist-pump and all, to let the world know he's ready to make a run at his fourth Open title. "I'm excited about playing," said Woods, who didn't play in last year's event because of injury. "Excited about this golf course." At the same event, Phil Mickelson withdrew after the first round, citing fatigue. But all it took to reinvigorate Lefty was a grouping today and Friday with Woods and Masters champ Bubba Watson. "I've been able to enjoy the challenge of playing with [Tiger] and I've always enjoyed his company," Mickelson said. "I've played some of my better golf these last five years with him." The American trio wasn't the only powerhouse grouping announced by the USGA, as Europeans Rory McIlroy, the defending Open champ, Luke Donald and Lee Westwood will also play together the first "When you've got a little bit of attention on your group, it focuses your mind a little bit and you feel like you want to be really prepared for the first hole," McIlroy said. The sectional qualifiers provided another flurry of drama, as they often do, as former Stanford golfer Casey Martin will be riding his cart around Olympic just as he had to fight to do 14 years ago, when the Open was last held here. A number of other players with Bay Area ties punched their tickets to the U.S. Open through qualifying, including former Cal golfers James Hahn and Charlie Wi and San Mateo native and Champions Tour leading money winner Michael Allen. "It's probably going to be the first time I'm going to be extremely nervous teeing off," the 53-year-old Allen said of playing at the course he has called home since he was 14. And just this week, the Open saw another wrinkle when 14-year-old amateur Andy Zhang, who already stands 6 feet tall and weighs 180 pounds, was added to the field. And that doesn't even take into account the course itself, tricked-out to provide a diabolical test to the best golfers in the world. Sloping fairways, firm greens and a host of thick rough waits. "This is really about shot- Indeed it will. email@example.com
three days.
making," USGA Executive Director Mike Davis said. "And so it will be interesting to see how the players work themselves around the golf course."

The regulation of marriage was historically presumed to be the exclusive domain of the states. Since 1996, however, the Defense of Marriage Act of 1996 ("DOMA")1 changed this presumption in two important respects:
In a much anticipated decision, United States v. Windsor,2 the U.S. Supreme Court recently ruled that DOMA's definition of "spouse" (DOMA section 3) is unconstitutional "as a deprivation of the equal liberty of persons that is protected by the Fifth Amendment."
There are over 1,300 federal statutes that either confer separate or unique benefits, or impose separate or unique obligations, on married individuals. These statutes include the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), and the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). As a consequence, the Supreme Court's ruling in Windsor has far reaching and important consequences that include the rights and duties of same-gender spouses under a broad range of employee benefit plans, programs, and arrangements.
The Supreme Court did not disturb the provisions of DOMA that allow states to refuse to recognize same-gender marriages performed under the laws of other states. Thirteen states and the District of Columbia currently recognize same-gender marriages. A handful of other states recognize some sort of equivalent right — e.g., civil unions. Thirty-seven states, however, have DOMA-like statutes that define the term "spouse" for purposes of state law as a union of one man and one woman. Thus, the Supreme Court has left a patchwork of conflicting state laws under which the terms "married" or "spouse" will have different meanings for purposes of state law. This will present particular challenges to employee benefit plans maintained by multistate employers.
Following the Supreme Court's decision, same-gender married couples (but not non-dependent domestic partners) will be taxed for Federal income tax purposes in the same way that any other married couples are taxed. For legally married, same-gender couples residing in states that recognize same-gender marriages, the principal benefits-related consequences include tax-free treatment of health care coverage (dental and vision included), access to pre-tax treatment under an employer's section 125 plan, access to COBRA coverage as a matter of right, eligibility for HIPAA special enrollment rights, and access to pension survivor rights, among others. Thus, for example, employers will no longer be required to impute income to employees whose same-gender spouses are covered under the employees' health insurance. Such couples will also qualify for leave under the FMLA.
The Supreme Court's decision has left us with many questions, some of which can be answered by the regulators, others of which will be sorted out, if at all, by the courts. Set out below are some of the most pressing questions for employer-sponsored employee benefit plans:
(1) Does the decision apply retroactively — that is, can affected employees file for a refund of taxes paid on their imputed income?
The Treasury Department and IRS will need to provide guidance on this issue. Code section 7805(b) confers on the Secretary of the Treasury broad powers to apply the decision prospectively only. If refunds are permitted, they will apply only to "open" tax years, i.e., years for which the tax statute of limitations (generally three years) has not expired. What the Secretary decides will also affect whether employers can make adjustments to the quarterly payroll tax remittances for periods before June 26 (the date on which Windsor was decided).
(2) Must an employee benefit plan cover same-gender spouses?
The Court did not say. In the case of fully-insured welfare benefit plans, state insurance law will control. In most if not all instances, this will require that same-gender spouses be treated the same as any other spouse. But state law does not apply in the case of self-funded plans. Thus, it would appear that a private sector self-funded group health plan could still deny coverage to same-gender spouses. Such an approach might be vulnerable to challenge based on discriminatory treatment, however, in a state in which marital status is a protected class.
(3) What happens if a validly married same-gender couple moves to a state where such marriages are not recognized?
This is another question about which the Windsor decision is silent. Recall that DOMA section 2 survived. That section reads:
No State, territory, or possession of the United States, or Indian tribe, shall be required to give effect to any public act, record, or judicial proceeding of any other State, territory, possession, or tribe respecting a relationship between persons of the same sex that is treated as a marriage under the laws of such other State, territory, possession, or tribe, or a right or claim arising from such relationship. (Emphasis added).
Thus, while a state cannot be required to recognize same-gender marriages for purposes of any of its laws, employee benefit plans should be free to do so. (Guidance to this effect would be welcome.) Where benefits are provided, income would in all likelihood need to be imputed for state tax purposes.
(4) Do same-gender spouses in states that recognize their marriage have HIPAA special enrollment rights that would allow a same-gender spouse to be added to an employer's group health plan mid-year?
Most likely, yes. Under Code section 9801(f)(2)(A)(iii), a special enrollment right arises when "a person becomes such a dependent of the individual through marriage, …" The special enrollment right election period must be at least 30 days, and coverage may be applied retroactively only if elected by the participant within the first 30 days of the special enrollment period.
(5) If a same-gender spouse takes advantage of his or her special enrollment right (see Question 4 above), may the employee make a corresponding mid-year election change under the employer's section 125 cafeteria plan such that any increase in premiums is pre-tax?
Again, the answer is most likely, yes. The applicable treasury regulation (Treas. Reg. section 1.125-4(c)(2)(i)) permits a mid-year election change in the case of an event that "change[s] an employee's legal marital status, …" And, again, this is an item with respect to which guidance would be welcome.
(6) What is the impact on employers with operations in multiple states? Can they apply a single standard? Or must they separately apply each state's rules?
As explained in question 3 above, DOMA section 2 is directed at states and state law, not Federal law. Presumably, an employer could choose to apply a single standard — e.g., an individual is married for plan purposes if his or her marriage was valid in the state in which it was performed.
(7) Are same-gender spouses entitled to all the survivorship rights accorded traditional married couples under a tax qualified retirement plan?
After Windsor, there is no longer a uniform definition of "married," "marriage," or "spouse" for purposes of Federal law, which includes ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code. For the sake of ease of administration, employers would be well served if the Treasury Department and IRS adopted a rule under which a marriage is deemed valid for pension plan purposes if the marriage was valid under the laws of the state in which it took place.
(8) Are elections to designate a beneficiary other than the same-gender spouse under a tax-qualified retirement plan still valid?
Unlikely, particularly if the regulators treat same-gender spouses as newly married as a result of Windsor.
(9) A lump-sum distribution from a pension plan (without any waiver of spousal rights) was previously provided to an employee who was (and remains) validly married to her same-gender spouse. Post-Windsor, the spouse brings a claim against the plan for failure to provide her with survivor benefits. Is the plan liable?
We don't know. Since the claim would arise under ERISA and not the Internal Revenue Code, there is no regulatory mechanism by which the holding in Windsor might be applied only prospectively. This is a matter that will have to be determined by the courts.
So what's an employer to do? The obvious first — and critically important — step is to review plan documents to determine how the terms "spouse" and/or "married" are defined. Changes may be required to bring plans into compliance with the new rules and/or to make changes to plan design. And employers in states that recognize same-gender marriage should, of course, stop imputing income immediately. While it might be tempting to refund withheld taxes retroactively, the more prudent approach may be to wait to see what the regulators say. In contrast, the law governing special enrollment rights and mid-year cafeteria plan elections seems pretty clear, so employers might want to permit such changes without dely. But an employer could not be faulted for taking a more cautious approach.
Hopefully, we will begin shortly to get guidance that provides answers to the questions set out above and others.

Watching a film directed by Clint Eastwood reminds me of Stanislavski saying that "the person one is, is a thousand times more interesting than the best actor one could become". Eastwood is fixed on character in a way that supersedes second-rate concerns about technique. He seems involved with everything that might happen to his characters, even after the cast has gone to dinner, like a kind of Bagpuss mourning over not being able to monitor their whole lives. All his films are thick with peering.
At the same time, Eastwood is practical, logical, specific. As a director, he doesn't idolise, he entertains. In True Crime, he also plays Steve Everett, an investigative journalist on the Oakland Tribune. He is sent to write a piece about a convicted murderer, Frank Beachum (Isaiah Washington), who is scheduled to die that evening by lethal injection. Everett spots what he feels is a discrepancy in the testimony of the main witness, and starts barking Beachum's innocence.
His boss Alan (James Woods) is unimpressed. Everett used to drink, which meddled ruinously with his investigator's nose, and once got the paper to fight for the exoneration of a man who ultimately confessed to being a rapist. Actually, nobody is impressed. Not his wife, preoccupied with years of Everett's philandering, and not his daughter, who just wants her dad to take her to the zoo for a good look at the hippopotamus.
The film starts at eight o'clock in the morning, and Beachum is to die at one minute past midnight. With both deliberate laziness (lunch, placating the wife) and fierceness (Everett driving like a maniac, Everett trying to sober up), the film watches the clock. Eastwood sees the day itself as a character. You really recognise that strange, dragging time between two-thirty and four o'clock, or when it's suddenly six and you're hungry, and wish you hadn't thrown away that half bag of crisps, and if it wasn't an open-plan office you'd go through the bin. It feels very much like a Thursday, though I don't think it's ever specified as such.
True Crime is brilliantly atmospheric. Eastwood takes his time with every exchange, every glance, doting on feeling-tone and silence, and then noise and deadlines, and this day growing dark, and Beachum eating his last supper of steak and chips.
It's a witty film (Colleague: "More and more workers are campaigning about their right not to breathe second-hand smoke." Clint: "More and more scumbags don't care"), but very much in a ragged, end-of-an-era way. Everett is an old-fashioned hack, an off-white man, probably in off-white underwear, not quite at home with computers and pagers and seat belts. God knows what he makes of the Internet.
Which is where Stanislavski comes in. It's rare to feel that the lives in a film could occur concurrently with your own. There is nothing vacant about the people here, nothing glossed over to render them remote and unfascinating. Throughout, Eastwood delivers - in ways beyond simple narration - just enough of each character to give his film all kinds of sides, not least the most unhysterical stand on capital punishment I've seen. Meanwhile, the viewer gets to play both psychiatrist and pen-pal. It's a genuinely sensible, conscious piece of work.
Theo Angelopoulos's Eternity and a Day, winner of last year's Palme d'Or at Cannes, has Bruno Ganz playing a writer with a few months left to live. On his melancholy way to the sanatorium, he meets a young Albanian orphan (Achileas Skevis) and the pair embark on a largely wretched emotional journey.
The only worthwhile moments are those involving Skevis, who seems to be acting from his bowels. In one scene, faced with the tiny body of his friend at a mortuary, Skevis hides his tears from the camera with his hand, as though ashamed. It's a disturbingly accurate gesture - one that belongs to childhood, but is rarely remembered by child actors. The rest, although much lauded as haunting and full-toned, seemed to me to be tedious and suffocating. And its rapturous meanderings on history and art are naive and wholly uncertain.
Best Laid Plans is set in Tropico, anywhere USA. Nick (Alessandro Nivola) works for a local garbage company. The only thing he has going for him is his girlfriend, Lissa (Reese Witherspoon), who is blonde and rich- souled. Nick gets involved in a disastrous heist that renders him answerable to the local hard man. Desperate to help Nick raise the cash to buy his way out of trouble, Lissa offers to blackmail an old college friend. Here, the trouble really starts.
British director Mike Barker is meticulous in his plotting, so much so that you begin to wonder where all this is going and certainly how things will wind up. Tropico looks like a nightmare - poodle parlours and one woman eating a waffle in a diner - so you really do root for the charismatic couple, and back their dreams of escape. It's an exciting, clever film, and rewards us with a gloriously unusual finale.
Get Real is, in theme and spirit, somewhere between Grange Hill and Jonathan Harvey's Beautiful Thing. Ben Silverstone plays a delicate 16-year-old, in love with the seemingly straight head boy at his Basingstoke school. The film is issue-deep, and compassionate towards gay teenagers who are petrified of not only other people's responses to their sexuality but, to a certain extent, their own.
A Price Above Rubies, a forced, oddly impassive emancipatory drama, has been hanging around for a couple of years. It's easy to see why. Renee Zellweger plays a young Jewish mother, doubting her suitability as the partner of a religious scholar. Melodramatic and ill-played, it sourly and irritatingly exaggerates its Jewish milieu.
Twin Dragons has identical twins (both played by Jackie Chan) separated at birth. The two are eventually reunited and mistaken for the other by their girlfriends. Hee hee. The whole film is quite simply a showcase for Chan's martial arts talent, and when I say whole, I mean it. Kick, whack, yelp, finito, phew.
Satyajit Ray's The Chess Players (1977) was aimed specifically at India's Hindi-speaking audience. Set in 1856 in Lucknow, it parallels the tale of chess players with the political tactics of the East India Company. This is a noble, thoughtful film, if a little spoilt by its more manic moments. The print itself isn't that great, which is unusual for the scrupulous NFT.
Prepare yourself for Parting Shots. A "jolly" (my arse) version of Death Wish starring ex-crooner Chris Rea and made by Michael Winner was never going to be much cop. But if you ever needed proof that the sight of active humanity actually fills Winner with nausea, then here it is. The human tangerine strikes again.

1. Re: What am I doing wrong?
the_wine_snob Jun 23, 2012 2:55 PM (in response to imhal)1 person found this helpfulIt sounds like you are doing things correctly.
Unfortunately, the MPEG footage has already been compressed once, but the Project Preset that you chose, should keep it as good, as is possible. When you Share>DVD, PrE will have to Transcode to MPEG-2 DVD, so you have a second compression going on.
Now, if you are viewing that DVD on a computer monitor, or an HD TV, it will not look ALL that great, as it is SD on an HD device. If you have either an up-rezzing DVD, or newer BD player attached to the HD TV, then things WILL look better, as those up-rezzing players have special chips that do an amazing job going from SD source to HD display - no where near as good as a BD Project, but better than DVD-Video to an SD TV, like in the old days.
You will most likely see that double-compression where there is faster, off-axis movement, and either the subject, or the camera. There can also be blockiness and artifacts from that compression.
Now, one question: what is the Duration of your Timeline? That determines how high a Bit-Rate, PrE can use, to fit the material onto a DVD.
Good luck,
2. Re: What am I doing wrong?
imhal Jun 23, 2012 3:27 PM (in response to the_wine_snob)Thanks Bill. I should have said I am playing back thru a Sony BluRay player that does have the up scale , and I just downloaded the latest up date from Sony a couple weeks ago, onto a 46" Samsung. The whole video is about 6 minutes long , so I am sure it did it at the best rate. I thougt about using Premier to make each clip an AVI , but thought that would not make the quality better. Wish I coud afford a more computer , but this is what I have for now.
3. Re: What am I doing wrong?
imhal Jun 23, 2012 3:49 PM (in response to the_wine_snob)Bill On the TV there are a bunch of different picture size modes, I normally play everything in 16x9 , but there are a couple called SmartView , 1&2 , which basically shrink the size of the picture , making my 46" into say a 36" screen , resolution stays the same but looks sharper cause of the smalled apperent size. This makes things look much sharper and quite acceptible. So until I hit the lottery and can get a Super Mac , this will work. Thanks for confirming a is OK.
4. Re: What am I doing wrong?
the_wine_snob Jun 23, 2012 4:40 PM (in response to imhal)Great.
There are a lot of settings nowadays, and they depend on the exact equipment. One might have settings on the player, and also on the TV. Finding the perfect combo, can be lots of trial and error. What works on my gear, might not be worth a hoot on yours.
The up-rezzed DVD is probably as good, as it will get.
Maybe because I have been watching DVD's on a large, albeit older CRT TV for years, and now have replaced all of those with HD TV's and either up-rezzing DVD, or BD players, I still am sort of amazed how good the image from those older DVD's is now. Still, obviously below BD, but considering that they are SD, and some 4:3, even before 16:9 became popular, they do look better. Great? No, but better.
When you DO hit that lottery, I'd go with a full HD camera, and a BD burner, and be prepared for the improvement.
Good luck,

johnjv24 Jun 24, 2012 2:56 PM (in response to the_wine_snob)Sorry to interupt. I am editing a video from a VHS which I dubbed to dvd and put on my computer. It was converted to DV format. The quality isn't good already because of all the conversions but when I burn it to Dvd the titles that I created on adobe Premiere elements 10 are very blurry. Any ideas why? and also I have read on some forums of folks exporting their projects to files then burning them with other dvd authorizing software, is that better than doing it in house in Premiere if so why? fyi my project is about 1 hr long.
6. Re: What am I doing wrong?
the_wine_snob Jun 24, 2012 3:51 PM (in response to johnjv24)1 person found this helpfulThe DVD specs. do not treat Type well. The MPEG-2 DV CODEC is just not the best, but for DVD-Video, it is all we have. The best that I can suggest is:
- Use Menu Sets (or create them), that match your Project perfectly, so that there is no Scaling, up, or down, to deal with.
- See this ARTICLE, to get the Type looking as good, as it can.
Good luck,
PS - There was another article/blog on Title/Menu Text, but it disappeared about two years ago. I now wish that I had copied that to a PDF, as I would host it. It was the best, that I have ever seen.
PPS - You are correct that having the MPEG-2 DV intermediate did not help the quality of the VHS material. It is like a FAX of a FAX, and each generation degrades things noticieably.
7. Re: What am I doing wrong?
johnjv24 Jun 24, 2012 6:47 PM (in response to the_wine_snob)Thanks so much for the response! also had the question about exporting to project to file, is it better to have another software do the burning to dvd or is adobe premiere's dvd burning good in itself?
8. Re: What am I doing wrong?
the_wine_snob Jun 24, 2012 9:33 PM (in response to johnjv24)That just depends.
PrE can do basic authoring, and usually burning.
To go beyond that, then having another program do the authoring, is not a bad thing.
Also, though PrE can Burn to Disc, there is nothing wrong by choosing Burn to Folder, and then using the great, free utility, ImgBurn, to do the physical burn. As it allows a slower burn speed, there is a bonus to doing things that way.
Good luck,
9. Re: What am I doing wrong?
johnjv24 Jun 24, 2012 9:39 PM (in response to the_wine_snob)oh okay. what format is good to export for dvd burning?
10. Re: What am I doing wrong?
johnjv24 Jun 24, 2012 9:56 PM (in response to johnjv24)Do you know a different format I can use instead of DV, that will get me better results with the titles. Bc I had no problem with the titles in iMovie but I think the codec was H.264 when I exported. by the way I am using a macbook pro mid-2009 3.06ghz intel core 2 duo 8GB 500GB SATA Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4
11. Re: What am I doing wrong?
the_wine_snob Jun 25, 2012 7:27 AM (in response to johnjv24)1 person found this helpfulIf you are going to DVD-Video, then you have no chioice - MPEG-2 DV is the only format allowed for DVD-Video.
If you are going to a BD (Blu-ray Disc), then you have a choice: H.264, or HD-MPEG-2, though either must be 100% BD-compliant with all respects, such as allowable Bit-Rate.
For the ultimate results, one should shoot footage, that matches the DVD-Video, or BD (more choices) 100%, so that there is no up-rezzing, or down-rezzing going on. That is as good as it gets.
As to the output format/CODEC, if one is doing the full authoring in PrE, that is not an issue. PrE will choose the MPEG-2 DV format/CODEC, and will choose the H.264 BD format/CODEC (I do not believe that the user has the option to choose HD-MPEG-2 - please correct, if I got those two backward for PrE). Those choices will be automatic, within PrE.
Now, if one is going to another authoring program, the choice will depend on the program. As a for instance, I use Adobe Encore (only available with PrPro, as of CS3), so for DVD-Video, I would usually just choose DV-AVI, as my Export/Share format/CODEC, and Import that into Encore, letting it choose the specs. of the MPEG-2 DV necessary automatically, or I can chose those specs. myself. With some other authoring programs, one needs to do the Export/Share to MPEG-2 DV, and make the correct choices in Export/Share, then Import those files into the authoring program. It just depends on the authoring program.
Are you going to DVD-Video, or to BD?
Are you using another authoring program?
If so, which one?
Are you down-rezzing, or up-rezzing your Source Footage?
Good luck,
12. Re: What am I doing wrong?
johnjv24 Jun 25, 2012 11:11 AM (in response to the_wine_snob)I am burning to DVD-Video, and haven't decided on authorizing software but I might consider
Aimersoft dvd creator. And what you mean by up rezzing or down rezzing?
13. Re: What am I doing wrong?
the_wine_snob Jun 25, 2012 11:17 AM (in response to johnjv24)1 person found this helpfulDown-rezzing is when one starts with HD material, say AVCHD 1920 x 1080, but shrink that down to DVD-Video, like NTSC 720 x 480.
Up-rezzing is when one starts with SD DV material, such as NTSC 720 x 480, and Scales it up to 1920 x 1080 to put onto a BD.
I do not know the authoring software, that you mention, but you will need to determine exactly what file specs. it will require. Just a guess on my part, but probably DV-MPEG-2.
Good luck,
14. Re: What am I doing wrong?
johnjv24 Jun 25, 2012 11:23 AM (in response to the_wine_snob)Okay I got ya. So what your saying is make sure the authoring software is able to import whatever I decide to export from Pre.Elem? Correct
15. Re: What am I doing wrong?
the_wine_snob Jun 25, 2012 11:39 AM (in response to johnjv24)Not exactly. What I am saying is to find out what the specs. are, for the files that the authoring program can Import and work with, then use THAT as your Export/Share specs.

Yes it is. It is what I use all the time. I do prefer though to capture the footage with WinDV or Exsate DV Capture Live. I find PRE capture sensitive to noise on the tape, causing it to stop capture. Both of those other capture programs can capture to DV-AVI Type 2 - which is perfect for PRE.

I modified based on what I could easily access and personal tastes. It was quite light in the end, and I loved the sweetness of the cantaloupe with the salty bacon and cheese. This recipe is good for a light weekday dinner if served with salad or would make for a good side dish.
Melon Pasta with Bacon and Ricotta Salata
2 pieces bacon
8 ounces rotini (we used Dreamfields so it was extra healthy!)
Kosher salt
3 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 1/2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
Half a ripe peeled cantaloupe, chopped (any melon could work)
1/3 cup coarsely chopped fresh mint, divided
3 tablespoons thinly sliced green onion
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
Freshly ground black pepper
1 ounce ricotta salata (salted dry ricotta), shaved
Cook bacon. I opted to bake it in the oven on a foiled baking sheet for 20 minutes. Once bacon has cooled, break into bite-size pieces.
Meanwhile, cook pasta until al dente. Drain pasta; run under cold water to cool. Drain and set aside.
Whisk oil and vinegar in a large bowl. Add half of bacon, cooked pasta, melon, half of mint, green onion, and red pepper flakes. Toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle remaining bacon and mint over. Garnish with shaved ricotta salata.

Quinn and Andrew Marchand report, in the form of a suspension that will last into and "likely through" the 2014 season. Advertisement Quinn and Marchand also report that there are "about 12" other players who will be suspended on Monday, an upward revision from the eight previous reports suggested were facing penalties.But Rodriguez's refusal to bow to the fiat of Selig and MLB is, as always, the crux of this matter: Advertisement Several sources familiar with the talks said tense deliberations between Rodriguez and commissioner Bud Selig's office broke down completely Saturday after Selig told officials he would no longer negotiate.Rodriguez reportedly passed up a chance to avoid a lifetime ban by agreeing to an MLB demand to subject himself to the judgment of an arbitrator, and will almost certainly appeal his suspension fiercely—though MLB will reportedly declare him ineligible to play while appealing his suspension under the guise of protecting the best interests of the game. (Whether that or MLB's ongoing prosecution of his case is legal or not is up for debate.) If MLB is successful in seeking and enforcing a lifetime ban, A-Rod may have played his final professional baseball game tonight. As of this publication, through four innings, he had drawn two walks and started a double play in the field for the Trenton Thunder.

If you're headed west, I would definitely include the rockies for trout of course, but then delve into the search for the trout's equivalent to sasquatch - steelheading in the wilds of British Columbia, Washington and Oregon in the fall. Then for winter cruise down the gold coast to fish the Baja for roosterfish, mahi mahi; then crossing over into the gulf for big reds and tarpon, to the keys for bones and permit in early spring, then up to striper country on Cape Cod for late May and June. Continue up through Maine for wild brookies, then to New Brunswick and perhaps the Gaspe region of Quebec for some of the top Canadian atlantic salmon fishing in summer.
You are very fortunate to have this opportunity and make sure you keep us fully informed as you make this circuit! |

Kenmore Washer/Dryer Combo Dryer won't stay on
Model Number: 41792702200 Brand: Kenmore Age: 5 - 10 years
The dryer on my Kenmore washer/dryer quit running. A sears service repairman wants $200 to just come look at it (before parts and Labor). I pulled the back service panel off. Two things. The cabinet was FULL of lint. The Belt was fine. I cleaned the cabinet out completely. I cleaned the Lint trap, and hoses. I noticed that the foam seal from the lint trap was'nt seated properly to the blower (there was a visible gap) and I dont know if that was the primary reason for lint build up or not. I corrected that. I could hear the switch turn on but it still would'nt run or spin, so I put a socket on the bolt on the back of the motor to see if it was seized up or needed a little help spinning. It started running again for a day and quit again. Noticed a burning smell, and I figured it coud be residual lint and dust on the motor burning off. Father in law came over and held switch "on" till it started running. Burning smell again, but the dryer worked again for a day and quit. Now I can hold the switch on and the dryer will run for 5-10 seconds before quitting. Burning smell goes with that. I looked inside the cabinet while holding switch down and the roller (the only one I think) is rolling and the belt and drum are spinning until it quits. I also hear a click when the switch quits. The Motor starts up good, but runs down slowly like power is being drained. Related Models |

Auxiliary marine search and rescue at Comox needs support
Although some may ask what's in a name, the newly minted Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue based at the Comox marina hope the change will bring about community support.
The auxiliary station, which acts as a rescue society, has been on the coast for about 150 years, explained Jim Linderbeck, unit leader of the Comox Station 60.
He noted the rebranding of the Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary-Pacific to the Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue is to bring about community attention to the volunteer group.
"We need money and we need to raise funds to keep our vessels running and for training. If we don't get that, then our area won't be protected the way it should be protected," he said to media.
"We're going to be doing the same as we did before, the only thing that's changed is our name. The reason that we've changed our name is because this is locally owned, this is community owned."
The local station has been providing services to the community for more than 25 years and comprises of more than 48 active and supporting members of the community.
The station helps boaters in a variety of rescue capacities from lifesaving to saving someone who is out of fuel.
Their area of coverage consists of Hornby Island to the south, to the middle of the Strait of Georgia to the north.
Linderbeck said the society attended to about 40 rescue emergencies last year.
"We're trained, ready 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to go out on the water and rescue or to help somebody in distress and that's our job," he added. "We're part of the community. If we can't replace our vessels and keep our crews safe ... what are we going to do? We're losing some support and we're going to become more involved in our area than what we are right now."
Jim Brass, president of the Comox Valley Marine Search and Rescue Society said the society does not receive any money from the Canadian government, but solely from money raised within the community.
"Everyone here is a volunteer. We need to get rid of this vessel which is basically the oldest vessel with the Coast Guard on the Pacific coast," he said to media, and added they hope to have a new vessel by 2014 or 2015.

This is your resource to discuss support topics with your peers, and learn from each other.
I am not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I would very much appreciate if someone can give advice/suggestions/recomm/criticism.
We have a fairely large internal web application with a number of JSP pages and Java server apps in the backend. Being asked to provide accesses to blackberry devices, we can (1) create a new set of simpler web pages so that the pages can be viewed nicely in the browser, or (2) create a Java client application for the devices. I am not sure which one is better. What are the factors that we should consider in choosing one over the other?
The first place you might look for information is our developer video library. In particular there is an introductory video that compares the different types of applications and their capabilities. Here is a link to the video
When deciding between the 2 types of applications, here are a few things you may want to think about:
- What are your target devices and the software versions? The browser has evolved alot over the years, and it may affect the number of changes you would need to make to your web application. For instance, you may find that your current web application works well without any changes on the Bold (our latest device).
- Are you planning on taking advantage of any of the advanced features of the device? Or, do you want to simply mobilize your current web application? Using some of the advanced capabilities of the device like the camera or bluetooth would require a java application.
I would suggest downloading one of our device simulators and try rendering some of your pages in the browser. It might give you a feel for the changes you would need to make to your current application. Make sure to get the simulator that matches the devices you are planning to support, and don't forget to install an MDS services simulator as well (it's required to use the browser in the simulator).

"We ran our offense a little more (Wednesday) than we normally do."
"It kind of seemed like we had a lull in the third quarter like we usually have. Southeast got pretty hot in the third quarter, and we just didn't make free throws. We had free throws that would have kept us in the lead, and we didn't make them."

Austerity measures taken to deal with Greece's national debt have worsened the country's unemployment rate; it stands at more than 16 percent. But among Greeks younger than 30, the unemployment rate is almost 40 percent. With few job prospects at home, more and more of the brightest young Greeks are looking overseas for work, fueling a "brain drain" that economists fear will cripple the country's recovery efforts.

Yet the comparison seems to have gone to Prisoner Aitken's head. His archaic and glutinous rhymes from HMP Belmarsh pay tribute to Oscar Wilde's "Ballad of Reading Gaol" while missing the entire point of Wilde's great cry of anger and compassion. Wilde served two years without remission of the harshest hard labour that a vindictive late-Victorian judge, shocked by his homosexual life, could impose.
He served it on a man in poor health - with a courage and dignity that made an unforgettable impact on Governor, warders and inmates alike. Only then, on his release and flight to France in 1898, did he voice his hard wisdom that "all men kill the thing they love".
Prematurely, Aitken seeks to present a few days in jug as a sort of spiritual growth-spurt that drags the sinner back to God. Yet his metre is stilted and dull; his diction musty and genteel ("gentle zephyrs", "whispered cadences", "cantors chanting the refrain"). It reads like a bad poem of the 1890s. Wilde, in contrast, is modern, simple, fierce: "I know not whether Laws be right/ Or whether Laws be wrong;/ All that we know who lie in jail/ Is that the wall is strong;/ And that each day is like a year,/ A year whose days are long". Aitken tries to sound "poetic"; Wilde writes poetry.
And, crucially, Aitken is still blathering on about his precious personal relationship with the Almighty. Wilde learned to care for, and to identify with, the most despised of his fellow convicts. He deals not in abstract, pious waffle but in concrete compassion for other prisoners; in particular, for the condemned young soldier, "C T W", whose execution for a crime of passion prompted the Ballad.
Aitken should learn how to turn all this new-found sensitivity on some teenage crack-dealer or sink estate-bred petty gangster, and to express his empathy in words that belong to our time rather than to a half-remembered hymn-book. Then he might just begin to be worthy to invoke the shade of Oscar Wilde. For the moment, he can only manage arrogant, platitudinous and self-deceiving kitsch.
An extract from A Ballad from Belmarsh Gaol
Judge not, speak not, nor verdict give
For life's strange road has paths unseen
High peaks unmapped, strong years to live Unleashed from fear, from sin made clean

Federal Trade Commission:
Enforcement of the Franchise Rule
GAO-01-776: Published: Jul 31, 2001. Publicly Released: Jul 31, 2001.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-8816
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Franchises are business arrangements that require payment for the opportunity to sell trademarked goods and services. Business opportunity ventures do not involve a trademark, but require payment for the opportunity to distribute goods or services with assistance in the form of locations or accounts. The Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) Trade Regulation Rule on Franchising and Business Opportunity Ventures (Franchise Rule) requires franchise and business opportunity sellers to disclose financial and other information to prospective purchasers before they pay any money or sign an agreement. In addition, FTC enforces section 5 of the FTC Act, which addresses unfair or deceptive acts or practices. Over the past several years, Congress has debated the need for a federal statute to generally regulate franchises, including issues that arise between franchisors and franchisees after the franchise agreement is signed. Much of the debate centers on the relative bargaining power franchisees have when dealing with their franchisors over various issues, such as the location of new franchised outlets or the termination of franchise relationships without good cause and advance, written notice. This report reviews FTC's enforcement of its Franchise Rule and discusses various franchise relationship issues. GAO found that FTC has focused most of its Franchise Rule enforcement resources on business opportunity ventures because, according to FTC staff, problems in this area have been more pervasive than problems with franchises. The extent and nature of franchise relationship problems are unknown because of a lack of readily available, statistically reliable data--that is, the data available are not systematically gathered or generalizable. Absent such data, opinions varied as to the need for a federal statute to regulate franchise relationships. If Congress believes it needs empirical data before considering franchise relationship legislation, it could commission a study that would (1) design and implement an approach for collecting empirical data on the extent and nature of franchise relationship problems and (2) examine franchisor and franchisee experiences with existing remedies for resolving disputes.
Matter for Congressional Consideration
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: Congress has not yet acted on this Matter for Consideration.
Matter: If Congress believes that it needs empirical data before considering franchise relationship legislation, it could commission and fund a study that would (1) design and implement an approach for collecting empirical data on the extent and nature of franchise relationship problems (2) examine franchisor and franchisee experiences with existing remedies for resolving disputes.

Quilts to Share - Carole Crawford OR
10 comments:
I wish that woman was my friend. I wish I were my friend enough to sit down and finally make one of these. Just looking at them makes my hands itch. I have a question. Just throwing this out to the universe - I have spent most of my life yearning to make things. I've made quilts, I've turned wood, I've sculpted tiny figures out of clay, put together felt things and fabric things and wire things, I've fused glass. I have a thousand tools and a house full of raw materials. What is it that drives me so hard to make things? I really don't understand it. I really do yearn to do it. And I think you do, too - but - why do we?

In this struts tutorial section we will discuss about Struts 2 Interceptors. This Struts 2 framework relies upon Interceptors to do most of the work before and after an action is executed. Interceptors are by default part of Struts 2 default stack and are executed in a specific order. Interceptors are used to process logic before and after an action is called.
TutorialsStruts 2 framework relies upon Interceptors to do most of the work before and after an action is executed. Interceptors are by default part of Struts 2 default stack and are executed in a specific order. Interceptors are used to process logic before and after an action is called. They can also change the state of an action before it executes.
Interceptors are standard Java classes that prevent duplicate actions from firing. Interceptors are pluggable, which means that you can decide which features an Action needs to support and which it should ignore.
Interceptors are invoked by the controller before and after an action is called.
However, one can also specify and write their own stack of interceptors that the Action or package should use on a per-action basis and add it to the already existing Interceptors in the framework.
Interceptor | Name | Description |
Alias Interceptor | alias | Alias Interceptor helps in converting similar parameters. |
Chaining Interceptor | chain | Chaining Interceptor allows tge current Action to access the properties of previous Action. |
Checkbox Interceptor | checkbox | Checkbox Interceptor detects any unchecked checkbox and add it as a parameter with a false value. |
Cookie Interceptor | cookie | Cookie Interceptor adds customizable name / value in a cookie. |
CookieProvider Interceptor | cookieProvider | CookieProvider Interceptor transfer cookies from action to response |
Conversion Error Interceptor | conversionError | Conversion Error Interceptor adds conversion errors in the error field of Action |
Create Session Interceptor | createSession | Create Session Interceptor creates an HttpSession automatically |
Debugging Interceptor | debugging | Debugging Interceptor with the use of several debugging screens informs about the data behind the page. |
Execute and Wait Interceptor | execAndWait | Execute and Wait Interceptor while executing the Action in background redirects the user to a waiting page. |
Exception Interceptor | exception | Exception Interceptor maps exceptions to a result. |
File Upload Interceptor | fileUpload | File Upload Interceptor adds easy access to file upload. |
I18n Interceptor | i18n | I18n Interceptor remembers the locale of a user session. |
Logger Interceptor | logger | Logger Interceptor gives the name of the Action. |
Message Store Interceptor | store | Message Store Interceptor store and retrieves action or error messages for action that implements ValidationAware interface into session. |
Model Driven Interceptor | modelDriven | Whenever action implements ModelDriven, Model Driven Interceptor adds the getModel Result onto the Value Stack. |
Scoped Model Driven Interceptor | scopedModelDriven | When the action implements ScopedModelDriven, Scoped Model Driven Interceptor will retrieve the model from a scope and provide it to the action calling setModel. |
Parameters Interceptor | params | Parameters Interceptor sets the request parameters onto the Action. |
Prepare Interceptor | prepare | Prepare Interceptor calls prepare() on actions which implement Preparable. It ensures that a logic runs before the execute method runs. |
Scope Interceptor | scope | Scope Interceptor stores action state in the session or application scope. |
Servlet Config Interceptor | servletConfig | Servlet Config Interceptor provide access to HttpServletRequest and HttpServletResponse. |
Static Parameters Interceptor | staticParams | You can define the Static Parameters while configuring your action class in the struts.xml. The defined static params in the struts.xml file will be added to the request params map. |
Roles Interceptor | roles | Roles Interceptor is executed if the user has the correct role. |
Timer Interceptor | timer | Timer Interceptor determines how long the Action takes to execute in milliseconds. |
Token Interceptor | token | Token Interceptor checks that a single valid token is processed in Action. |
Token Session Interceptor | tokenSession | Token Session Interceptor checks that a single valid token is processed in Action but when an invalid token is processed it stores the submitted data in session. |
Validation Interceptor | validation | Validation Interceptors checks the action against any validation rules using the validators. |
Default Workflow Interceptor | workflow | Default Workflow Interceptor makes sure that there are no validation error before the interceptor chain continues. |
Parameter Filter Interceptor | N/A | Parameter Filter Interceptor removes or blocks parameters from getting to the rest of the stack or your action. |
Profiling Interceptor | profiling | Profiling Interceptor activates or deactivates profiling through parameter. |
Multiselect Interceptor | multiselect | Multiselect Interceptor adds an empty parameter if no value is selected for a field with multiple values. |
