Mayor's Office
Mayor Chris Beutler today urged the State Legislature to defeat LB 229, a proposal to divert $7 million a year over the next ten years from the Nebraska Environmental Trust (NET) fund. The Legislature's Natural Resources Committee advanced the bill Wednesday. Beutler said passage of the bill would be another blow to local property taxpayers and seriously damage the City's environmental efforts.
"The loss of water quality projects are a great concern," Beutler said. "Water quality is heavily regulated by both the State and federal governments. In some cases, Lincoln will have no choice but to do these mandated water quality projects, but may no longer be able to count on the Environmental Trust fund for assistance. This will once again force Lincoln to choose between increased property taxes or a reduction in critical services."
NET funds have helped the City to protect rare eastern saline wetlands and the endangered species that live there; to restore the water quality of Holmes Lake; to preserve native prairie at the Pioneers Park Nature Center; and to improve stormwater quality by reducing the pollutants in streams and lakes.
"The bill is another example of the State pushing its budget issues onto the City," Beutler said. "We have already sustained a $1.8 million hit from the loss of State aid, and it appears other revenue sources will be severely limited. The net effect is to shift the burden of taxation to property owners because that is the only revenue source over which we have control at this point."
The State lottery bill Nebraska voters approved in 1992 stipulates that nearly half of the lottery proceeds would fund innovative environmental projects.

Saudi princess posts $5 million bail after arrest
SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — Last year, a Kenyan mother left her country to take a job as a maid for a royal Saudi family hoping to make enough money to cover her ailing 7-year-old daughter's medical bills.
Once she arrived, she alleges, her passport was taken from her, she was forced to work long hours and was paid only a fraction of what she was promised.
It wasn't until she traveled with the Saudi family on their vacation to the United States that she was able to escape, according to authorities. Carrying a suitcase, she flagged down a bus in the Orange County city of Irvine this week, told a passenger she was a victim of human trafficking, and pointed police to a condominium where they arrested a Saudi princess, authorities said.
"This is certainly an example of forced labor," District Attorney Tony Rackauckas told reporters after Thursday's initial court appearance by the Saudi princess, Meshael Alayban, 42. "It's been 150 years since the Emancipation Proclamation, and slavery has been unlawful in the United States, and certainly in California, all this time, and it's disappointing to see it in use here."
Alayban promptly posted $5 million bail and was being released from Orange County jail just a day after her arrest and hours after appearing in court in to face a felony charge of human trafficking.
Rackauckas had asked the judge to set bail at $20 million or deny it entirely, saying it was unlikely any amount would guarantee a woman of such wealth would appear in court.
The judge did not agree with the lofty figure, but did raise bail to $5 million from the initial $1 million.
Defense attorney Paul Meyer said Alayban was not a flight risk. He said she has visited the U.S. since she was a child, owns properties here and has given her word she will stay to address the allegations.
While free on bond, Alayban must wear a GPS tracking device and cannot leave Orange County without permission from the court. She has also turned over her passport and is barred from any contact with the victim.
Alayban did not enter a plea while appearing in court in a dark blue jail jumpsuit. Her arraignment was moved to July 29.
Meyer declined to comment on the case but previously said it was just a dispute over domestic work hours.
The case is the first labor trafficking case prosecuted in Orange County since voters approved a law last year to stiffen the penalties for human trafficking. If convicted, Alayban faces a maximum sentence of 12 years, which is double the sentence she could have received a year ago, Rackauckas said.
Prosecutors say Alayban is one of the six wives of Saudi Prince Abdulrahman bin Nasser bin Abdulaziz al Saud.
The Saudi royal family is extensive, with thousands of princes and princesses, including some who have run into trouble with the law.
In 2002, Saudi princess Buniah al-Saud, who was accused of pushing her maid down a flight of stairs, entered a no-contest plea in Florida and was fined $1,000. In 1995, another Saudi princess, Maha Al-Sudairi, allegedly beat a servant in front of sheriff's deputies providing off-duty security. No charges were ever filed.
"These people have lots of money; they think they're above the law," said Ali AlAhmed, director of the Washington-based Institute for Gulf Affairs.
In Orange County, the 30-year-old Kenyan woman told authorities she had signed a two-year contract with an employment agency guaranteeing she would be paid $1,600 a month to work eight hours a day, five days a week at the job in Saudi Arabia. But starting in March 2012, she was forced to cook, clean and do other household chores for 16 hours a day, seven days a week, and was paid only $220 a month, prosecutors said.
She was allowed to have a passport only long enough to enter the U.S., prosecutors said.
Once here, she was allegedly forced to tend to at least eight people in four units in the same Irvine complex, washing dishes, cooking, cleaning, doing laundry and ironing.
When police searched the condo, they found four other workers from the Philippines. The women left voluntarily with officers and told them they were interested in being free, police said.
No charges have been filed related to those women and police said there were no signs any of the workers had been physically abused.
The women's passports had been held with the victim's documents in a safe deposit box, Rackauckas said.
Rackauckas said Alayban's husband was at the Irvine condo during the police search. Authorities said there was no evidence to implicate him in the case.

When Senior Writer Dave Lenker started sending columns questioning Randy Orton's push several months ago, I kinda brushed it off. Probably jealous of Orton's look. Spending too much time with that old crank Brock, I figured. But here we are a few years later and somehow, someway, Orton has become a fan favorite.
Yes, he's a lean, good-looking athlete who bullied two loathesome stooges and kicked some people in the head. For that, he was justifiably and understandably hated. Now, however, he is soundly cheered. Was his WrestleMania 26 victory over Legacy that impressive?
What has Randy Orton done in the ring or on the microphone lately that would inspire fans to cheer for him? In my humble opinion, his wrestling is average, his look is average, and his promos are below average. His attempts at portraying a mentally deranged sociopath are unconvincing at best.
I don't know Randy Orton, nor have I ever met him, but by many accounts, he's surly and not particularly fan-friendly. His history of bad beahvior, though in his past, hardly makes him an effective ambassador for the business.
His body of work was more entertaining to me when he was a goofy prospect who interrupted Raw with his unsolicited updates on the Titantron.
Admittedly, Orton was a very effective heel when he was running around delivering head punts, but those days seem far behind him. Is that alone enough to make him a beloved babyface? Somebody please explain this to me.

WASHINGTON — The controversially concluded Florida murder trial of George Zimmerman has prompted fresh debate over whether "stand your ground" self-defense laws hinder violence or, perversely, propel it.
The evidence appears mixed.
Some studies show enhanced public safety. Others suggest the opposite. One study concluded that several dozen men a month are killed as a consequence of the laws. In a speech this week, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder showed himself to be among the skeptics.
The resulting ambiguity, like the Zimmerman trial itself, in which he was acquitted of all charges in the death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, may confound anyone hoping for a neutral finding of fact. It also allows advocates and critics alike to cherry-pick their preferred experts, which can enliven debate but complicate lawmaking.
"It's good that whatever perspective you take is based on data and not just anecdotes," Miami-based attorney Leigh-Ann Buchanan said in an interview this week.
Buchanan is a co-chair of an American Bar Association task force that's studying stand-your-ground laws. The task force has held three hearings so far, and it plans another next month in San Francisco. The group will report next year on various questions surrounding the laws, including how they "may impact public safety," she said.
This week, Holder joined those who assert that the stand-your-ground laws make matters worse. Addressing the NAACP on Tuesday in Orlando, Fla., he declared that the laws may "contribute to more violence than they prevent."
"By allowing and perhaps encouraging violent situations to escalate in public, such laws undermine public safety," the nation's top law enforcement officer said.
Starting with Florida in 2005, at least 24 states have adopted some variation of a stand-your-ground law, Buchanan said. Additional states have adopted similar policies through state court rulings. Their general thrust is to remove the long-standing legal "duty to retreat" in the face of danger while in a public place. Instead, individuals may defend themselves, with lethal force if necessary, so long as they are in the public place legally.
Last year, two Georgia State University economics researchers concluded that the laws are "associated with a significant increase in the number of homicides among whites, especially white males." In a 55-page paper published by the National Bureau of Economic Research, authors Chandler B. McClellan and Erdal Tekin estimated that "between 28 and 33 additional white males are killed each month" as a result of these laws.
"These laws are also associated with a significant increase in emergency-room visits and hospital discharges related to firearm-inflicted injuries," the Georgia State economists said.
Texas A&M researchers Mark Hoekstra and Cheng Cheng reached similar conclusions last year in a 43-page study that found a "statistically significant 8 percent net increase in the number of reported murders and non-negligent manslaughters" in states with the enhanced self-defense laws.
Private citizens committed 196 justifiable homicides nationwide in 2005, the year states began crafting stand-your-ground laws, according to the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting system. The FBI defines justifiable homicide as "the killing of a felon during the commission of a felony." By 2011, the number of reported justifiable homicides jumped to 260. In Florida, that number has nearly tripled since the years immediately prior to passage of the self-defense law.

Sanford police told to hold Zimmerman evidence
Police in central Florida say the U.S. Department of Justice has placed a hold on all evidence related to the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin by former neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman.
Sanford Police Capt. James McAuliffe confirmed the hold Thursday. That includes the gun Zimmerman used to shoot Martin, which Zimmerman would otherwise be legally entitled to reclaim.
Zimmerman was acquitted over the weekend of charges in Martin's death last year.
Trayvon Martin's parents "stunned absolutely" by verdict
For the first time since George Zimmerman was acquitted of murdering their son, Trayvon Martin's parents gave TV interviews Thursday to decry the verdict and ask the federal government to continue to investigate.
Sybrina Fulton, Martin's mother, said in a "CBS This Morning" interview that she was "stunned absolutely" by the not-guilty verdict handed down Saturday by the six-woman jury in Seminole County, Fla.
"I thought surely that he (Zimmerman) would be found guilty of second-degree murder, manslaughter at the least," Fulton said.
"My son was unarmed, and the person that shot and killed him got away with murder," Fulton told CNN's Anderson Cooper, as she made the case for a change in self-defense laws.
Martin's father, Tracy Martin, told CBS he wanted Americans to know "that Trayvon was a fun-loving child. He was our child. We miss him dearly." Denver Post wire services

#43 Jason Hopkins: A native of Seattle, Washington, Jason is the son of Lisa and Dan Hopkins. Jason and his wife Melissa have a daughter, Genesis. Jason played two seasons for Cochise Community College in Douglas, Arizona before joining the Bisons last season. Since becoming a member of Lipscomb's team, Jason has shown tremendous leadership ability both on and off the court. During the 2006-2007 season, Jason was second on the team in field goal percentages, connecting on 59% of his shots. He scored a career high 17 points against Kennesaw State. He ranked second on the team in rebounds with 164. Jason picked up where he left off last season to help the Bisons this year. He averages 4.4 points per game and has pulled down a total of 172 rebounds, including 5 games with 10 or more. He also leads the team in blocked shots with 26. Jason plans to graduate with a bachelor of arts degree in Bible.
#20 LaKory Daniels: A native of Troy Alabama, LaKory is the son of Gwendolyn and Vaughn Daniels. LaKory began his collegiate career at the University of Alabama. However, he spent his freshman season as a medical redshirt. LaKory played in four games for Alabama the following season before transferring to Lipscomb in the spring of 2005. He became eligible for the Bisons late in December and made his debut against Jackson State on December 17, 2005. LaKory caught fire in the 2005-2006 Atlantic Sun Tournament scoring in double figures in all three games. His performance earned him a spot on the Atlantic Sun All-Tournament Team. LaKory played in all 31 games during the 2006-2007 season. His best game of the year came against Mercer when he posted 14 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists. LaKory spent part of last summer improving his skills in the Dominican Republic with the SCORE Team. His hard work has helped him transform into a major contributor for the Bisons this season. LaKory is averaging 8.8 points per game, and he leads the Bisons this season from behind the three-point line with 55 made shots. LaKory plans to graduate with a degree in Marketing.
#14 Eddie Ard. A native of LaPlace Louisiana, Eddie is the son of Eddie Ard Sr. After spending his freshman season as a medical redshirt for Lipscomb, Eddie worked hard to become a better player for the 2004-2005 season. He managed to average 7.3 points per game and 3.4 rebounds per game in his debut season. Eddie was honored by being named to the Atlantic Sun Conference All Freshmen Team. The 2005-2006 season brought even more Atlantic Sun honors to Eddie Ard. He was named to the First Team All-Atlantic Sun Team and the Atlantic Sun All-Tournament Team. Eddie led the team in scoring that season with 16.2 points per game. He scored 10 points or more in 28 out of 32 games that year. Eddie Ard was one of only 2 players to start all 31 games for the Bisons last season. He led the team in scoring with a total of 464 points. Eddie was also named to the Second Team All-Atlantic Sun selection. In the Atlantic Sun, Eddie finished first in free-throw percentage, hitting 83.6 percent of his attempts. He finished 5th in scoring among all Atlantic Sun players with an average of 15 points per game.
Eddie spent countless hours over this past summer to prepare himself for this season. He played for the Reach USA team in China for a portion of the summer in order to become a better overall player. This season Eddie has managed to lead the Bisons with 15.2 points per game. He scored a career high 35 points against Campbell on January 3, 2008. Just 23 days later on the January 26, Eddie eclipsed the 1,500 point mark against Kennesaw State. Only one other player has managed to accomplish that feat since Lipscomb entered the NCAA. Eddie Ard now holds the 16th spot on Lipscomb's all-time scoring list with 1,598 career points.

and cinnamon melts. Mostly cinnamon melts.
Miss you guys! Yes I have been on a short hiatus. I'm involved in lots of conspiracies and stuff which has taken up an unusual amount of time. Also, I'm back in flight school (yes, someone allows me in the sky), which takes up a lot of time and I don't care to fly exhausted and falling asleep in the plane, though when it starts to dive, the plane's alarm usually wakes me up. Things just get fun after that.
In addition, I have found myself watching Here Comes Honey Boo-Boo and my IQ has dropped about 10 or 5000 points because of that decision so that doesn't help my dating life either.
Even Facebook is working against me.
I actually think I saw the word "unstable" in there somewhere, but probably not so I left that out.
Don't worry, you are all still safe and can sleep sound at night without fear of me going crazy.
See ya'll when I'm done getting into trouble with my flight trickery and stuff! I'm anxious to start catching up on some of your adventures on your own blogs!

WEST KINGSTON, R.I. – May 7, 2002 – American Power Conversion (APC) today announced two new models in its award-winning Smart-UPSÒ XL Line of uninterruptible power systems (UPS). The Smart-UPS XL 750 and 1000VA provide the small-to-medium business user and large corporate branch offices an enhanced level of power protection against brownouts and outages. With extended range automatic voltage regulation (AVR) and unlimited runtime scalability, these new models deliver computer grade power during deep brownouts or over voltage conditions without using valuable battery power. Further, their extended runtime capability helps ensure the availability of computing, telecom, voice-over-IP (VoIP), and other business critical networking equipment during prolonged power disturbances.
"The convergence of voice and data networks has raised the level of importance to our customers of surviving an outage for hours, not just minutes," said Ed Bednarcik, vice president and general manager of APC's Business Network Solutions Group. "This pair of extended runtime Smart-UPS XL models give our customers the flexibility to add an unlimited number of battery modules at any time and enhanced battery management features that ensure that run time will be there when you need it most."
The new Smart-UPS XL models also features eight receptacles, over 20% more power (in watts) than their predecessors, as well as enhanced battery monitoring to prolong battery life. A high precision battery charge system with automatic true-load battery tests and redundant overcharge protection with temperature compensation provides improved reliability. Batteries will last longer and an audible warning is provided before the batteries wear out. When they are depleted, hot swappable, user replaceable batteries can be installed quickly and easily without powering down the connected load. This saves valuable time and the expense of sending the UPS back to the factory for this service.
In addition, these new Smart-UPS models permit serial or USB connectivity.

BREAKDOWN: Beck's cap and trade conspiracy theory
Blog ››› ››› BRIAN FREDERICK
On his television show Thursday night, Glenn Beck set out to explain "how our entire government is turning into Crime, Inc." Unfortunately for his Fox News audience, it was really just a tremendously long and tedious attempt to attack cap and trade and any progressive he can. For the second time this week.
Here's the Cliff's Notes version of what he thinks is so damn important that nobody in the media will cover:
Cap and trade is really just a "scam" and "redistribution of wealth." In order to perpetrate this scam, the Joyce Foundation, an environmental organization whose board used to include Barack Obama and Valerie Jarrett, steered grants toward developing the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX). Investors in the CCX included Al Gore, Fannie and Freddie and some Goldman Sachs partners.
Meanwhile, "really bad dude" Franklin Raines, former chairman and CEO of Fannie Mae, helped secure a technological patent for what Beck never really explains, but it has to do with the cap-and-trade exchange system. Raines serves on the board of the Enterprise Community Partners, so according to Beck, he asked Enterprise to ask the Joyce Foundation for cash for a new group: the Emerald Cities Collaborative ("Green-Fair-Democratic").
And of course, since it's the Emerald Cities, Beck says, there must be a "wizard." The wizard? Joel Rogers, a professor who heads the Center on Wisconsin Strategy. He's directly shaping President Obama's thinking.
So there you have it. The grandest of Beckian conspiracy theories. One University of Wisconsin professor and activist is the "wizard" behind an elaborate system to redistribute wealth and there are multiple organizations and corporations in on it.
Here's how he explains it, in his own words:
That's what this all boils down to. These formerly harmless progressive radicals now have a direct pipeline to the President of the United States, who has a direct pipeline to your wallet. And you're funding a new form of what will be organized crime.
If you're sitting there thinking, "You don't really believe this crap, do you?" you're not alone. You might also be thinking it's delusional and stupid.
But more than likely, you're thinking, how is this possibly entertaining?
Beck's shows are absolutely exhausting to watch. It's no wonder Beck has lost 1/3 of his TV audience since January.
Here's how Glenn Beck addresses the criticism that he's just "saying all these things" and "making it up":
Really? Who owns this network? Rupert Murdoch. Do you know how much money Rupert Murdoch is, well, he's got all these things going on. Do you think he's going to let a guy at 5:00 say a bunch of stuff, put this together, it's completely wrong, and stay on the network? ... Because Fox couldn't allow me to say things that were wrong.
Yes, Glenn, that is exactly what is going on.

Laser hair removal safely and effectively eliminates unsightly body hair. How, you ask?

I was planning to write about this one myself -- he is indeed fantastic in it! The one thing you could count on in an Aamir ad is that he does something interesting even with a 30 second spot. He seemed to have abandoned that dictum in his recent Samsung and Titan ads, so this one represents a refreshing return to form.

Hillarious! In my opinion, Aamir Khan is probably the only Khan that can come off as an authentic Punjabi munda, or kudi for that matter :)
Anyway here's a compilation I found of other Bollywood actors who have graced the silver screen in feminine avatars…
P.S. 'Rock On' has been receiving fantastic reviews and comparisons to Dil Chahta Hai. Think I might just see this one on the big screen after all.

OMG, I saw it a couple of days ago. It is sooo hilarious! Only Aamir can do something like that!

Hi Ramsu: Agree about the Samsung and Titan ads, although the 'Be born everyday' bit worked for me. I also liked the ones for the Monaco (crackers). But he's done really well here, indeed. Again, as you say, the uniqueness of the approach makes it what it is.
Hi Salek: Thanks for the link. Might just go see 'Rock On' this weekend! Thanks for the alert. Farhan Akhtar deserved as much credit as the cast of Dil Chahta Hai. Can't wait to see his latest.
Hi Nicki: When I first learned of it, I wasn't sure what to think about Aamir dressed as a woman again. In Baazi, it was different (the purpose behind it was justified by the film), but this is just...different. And a very funny kind of 'different', LOL. I really like the part where the husband says, "Taa Taa". =)

Great ad - but I think Aamir made a prettier woman in Baazi. lol
And for the record, I think Shah Rukh Khan makes an equally good Punjabi munda though no arguments on the kudi front! :-)
- Friday, August 29, 2008
- theBollywoodFan said...
Bollyviewer: LOL in agreement about the comment on Aamir in Baazi and on the kudi front!
There's a video out there on the making of this ad, and I'll hope to share it soon.
Point taken on Shah Rukh as a Punjabi munda.
On a related note, Salman Khan is going to be seen playing a Punjabi dude soon. In a patriotic film titled 'Heroes', also starring Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol, Mithun Chakrobarty, Preity Zinta, and others. Should be interesting.

Lmao, that was amazing!

INTERPOL issues global alert following Abu Ghraib
and Taji prison breakout
Hundreds of dangerous criminals escape during raid
LYON, France – A regional security alert has been issued by INTERPOL at the request of Iraq following a mass breakout from two Iraqi prisons involving hundreds of dangerous prisoners, many of them members of Al-Qaida.
During the night of 21 July, gunmen attacked the Taji and Abu Ghraib prisons near Baghdad using mortars to gain access and free the prisoners, killing at least 20 members of the Iraqi security forces in the process. INTERPOL said the jailbreaks constituted a major threat to global security.
Many of the escaped prisoners were senior-level Al-Qaida members, some of whom had been sentenced to death.
Following confirmation of the escape from INTERPOL's National Central Bureau in Baghdad, the Command and Coordination Centre at the General Secretariat headquarters issued the alert to member countries in the region to warn them of the threat posed by the fugitives.
INTERPOL is working closely with NCB Baghdad to collect information on the escaped prisoners, including photographs and fingerprints, with the view to issuing a global Orange Notice, to assist law enforcement officers regionally and worldwide in their search and eventual identification of the fugitives.
An Orange Notice can be issued by INTERPOL's General Secretariat or an NCB for any act or event that poses a serious and imminent threat to the safety of citizens around the world.
A resolution underlining the need for member countries to alert the General Secretariat to prison escapes of suspected terrorists and other dangerous criminals was adopted at the INTERPOL General Assembly in 2006.

text: Ag Versus Big Oil November 8, 2013 06:15 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Ed Clark Top Producer Business and Issues Editor Email An uncertain Renewable Fuels Standard puts biofuels industry in limbo The vibrant ethanol industry has survived four major political attacks by the oil industry and other groups in recent history, but this year's broadside is the fiercest attack to date. For farmers, the stakes are high. "Without the ability to grow from the current 10% blend to higher blends, we'll return to the era of high government stocks and grain prices below the cost of production," says Jeff Broin, POET founder and board chairman. "This is not just an attack on ethanol; it's an attack on agriculture." Corn-based ethanol isn't the only target. If the oil industry succeeds and blocks future renewable energy sources, it would curb growth of cellulosic ethanol that is just becoming a market reality, along with biodiesel. Biodiesel production has increased 26-fold since 2000. "It's all about market share," says Tom Buis, CEO of Growth Energy, an ethanol trade group. "Big oil doesn't want anything higher than a 10% blend coming from renewable energy. It cuts into their profits." The battleground is the Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS), first passed by Congress in 2005 and amended in 2007 (RFS2). The RFS-created ethanol mandates spurred rapid-fire production that tripled growth from 2005 to 2011 to reach a high of 13.9 billion gallons. This created demand for nearly 5 billion bushels of corn, making ethanol the No. 1 corn use category, bigger than livestock feed or exports. In 2012, ethanol production was 13.3 billion gallons. Under the RFS, the ethanol mandate will increase from 13.8 billion gallons this year to 14.4 billion next year and 15 billion by 2015. "Big oil does not want to let that happen," Buis says. "They have stated clearly that their goal is to eliminate the RFS." All hands on deck. To do so, the oil industry is attempting to create legal and regulatory obstacles for bioenergy. Lawmakers friendly to the oil industry have introduced bills to modify or eliminate the RFS in both the Senate and House. "We're confident we will win this fight," Buis believes, but it is going to take an all-hands-on-deck approach by agriculture to do so, and that includes efforts by farmers. Farmers have stepped up to the plate by sending 60,000 e-mails to Congress in support of the RFS, Buis notes. Agribusiness is also supporting the bioenergy cause. New Holland makes a contribution to Growth Energy for every piece of new equipment sold to farmers who are part of the ethanol industry. When will the battle finally be over? "Never," Buis says. "Our opponents will never give up, but the short-term battle in Congress should be over sometime this year." Buis acknowledges that it will take more than just the mandate to expand ethanol use, however. It will also require more gas station pumps that sell E15 and other higher ethanol blend fuels, and regulatory changes. That won't happen overnight, he says. So far, the oil industry has failed in its attempts to thwart future industry growth. For example, this summer, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear a lawsuit brought by the oil industry to block E15 blends. This year's fight won't deter the enthusiasm of some farmers, such as Robert Maust, a Preston, Minn., corn and soybean farmer, who says, "The future is bright for ethanol." Maust believes the advantages of ethanol will win out once the advantages of the high-quality fuel become apparent and higher blends become a reality. "But you have to walk before you can run," he says. Maust does more than talk the talk. In 2006, he purchased shares in an ethanol plant; earlier this year, he increased his investment. How's his return on investment been? "Satisfactory," he says, noting that he receives dividend checks each year. You can e-mail Ed Clark at firstname.lastname@example.com. Back to news

Oh, and as we've heard, she also calls Lady Gaga "reductive," so there's that.

I was looking through some of the active threads on SQLServerCentral.com tonight, and I ran across one with some code that looked familiar. While reading this thread, I noticed that the function returned a fixed length random character string. This told me that if you needed a random character string of a different length, you'd need another function.
How can you get around this? You can't use the function NEWID() in a function, SQL Server 2005 doesn't like it. There is a way to do this. Create a view that returns the result of the function NEWID(), and use that in your function to return a random string of different lengths.
Here is the code I put together:
create view dbo.MyNewID as select newid() as NewIDValue; go create function dbo.ufn_RandomString( @pStringLength int = 20 ) returns varchar(max) as begin declare @RandomString varchar(max); with a1 as (select 1 as N union all select 1 union all select 1 union all select 1 union all select 1 union all select 1 union all select 1 union all select 1 union all select 1 union all select 1), a2 as (select 1 as N from a1 as a cross join a1 as b), a3 as (select 1 as N from a2 as a cross join a2 as b), a4 as (select 1 as N from a3 as a cross join a2 as b), Tally as (select row_number() over (order by N) as N from a4) , cteRandomString ( RandomString ) as ( select top (@pStringLength) substring(x,(abs(checksum((select NewIDValue from MyNewID)))%36)+1,1) from Tally cross join (select x='0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ') a ) select @RandomString = replace((select ',' + RandomString from cteRandomString for xml path ('')),',',''); return (@RandomString); end go

"Yesterday, Once more" We don't have to hurry.
Subject description: Let's not forget about old ones. Let's improve them. Polish the old ones
After posting I have found this one posted a little earlier(or I haven't noticed)
Below is my original post.
Satisfaction from creating and achieving something "new" is great
But we don't have to hurry anything. What do we get from announcing Puppy v10? Puppy Maxima? Puppy MX?
Are we competing with other distros? Is this a commercial project?
We already have enough versions to "re-develop".
Version 2.14R (Revisited)is a good example. Good features were back ported to the version. I did hear that version 3 is slackware compatible.
Version 4 is not. SPUP is for utilizing Slackware repository. Someone is making a"new" Slackware compatible with version 4?
Going forward is important but taking care of what already have is also important. You know, you don't have to "re-invent the wheel".
I don't know the word "remodeling" is only used in the US but some of us should maintain and improve the "neo-classics", I think.
The old are bad, the new are good? Then why do we have museums?
I am an old man myself. I don't think it is bad just because it's old.
The old versions have longer testing period than the new ones. If we keep making new ones fast, people wouldn't have time to evaluate and appreciate the old.
MU's NYP02 is still in RC and TurboPup is still in Alpha. It is very good because they are the Puppy folks taking their time to check cafefully before they finally release. Also they experimenting many things.
They are not like MS getting half cooked product rush out the door and making billions of buyers as "Alpha testers".
WE DON'T HAVE TO HURRY ANYTHING. No boss is looking over your shoulder.
Keep going forward but let not forget about old one.
Let's not abandon our old ones.
If the original developer is too busy with his new creations, let others do the maintenance, preservation and re-creating.
Not too long ago, a Korean president ordered military to kill civilians in a city called Gwang Ju because of some conflict.
The incident is similiar to "Waco" incident in Texas but the Korean folks were not crazy or some kind of cult.
That incident became a movie. At the end of movie, a poor lady tells to other folks at home "Please don't forget about us"
Our old versions might say the same.
Old doesn't mean useless. I still lift heavy weight.
Even a single action classic frontier times antique revolver can kill a man. 1911 Colt .45 can shoot as good as new Berettas. AK 47 appeared in 1947. A lot earlier than M16.
But still kills. A well kept classic Corvett can rival today's shinny Corvett.
My wife is as beautiful as those days we were dating at least to me.(she keeps calling me "Grand pa" but it is ok. That's what I am.)
Not everybody needs hollow points, FMJ, Talon bullets. A plain 357 could do the job. Classic 007 supposed to carry PPK not Desert Eagle.
Let's polish the old ones. Let's give them "Yesterday once more"
They don't deserve to disappear from people's memory so quickly.
The most hurt is the original developer. He should give his own creations a longer life span. PuppyLinux is not a perishable goods rotting on the shelves.
The reason I like Puppy in the first place is that it gives longer life to my old PC. XP is OK but get infected and get slowdown soon. I had to get out of Xp and Puppy is cute, fast, stable and speed is siembre mismo.
If new one are hard on the computer specs, that's wrong to Puppy spirit.
I am talking about "Green" PC giving more life to old ones.
The world is changing. Then, someone got to give new life to old versions to keep old computers to march together with the world.
I am the oldest child in my family. But my father didn't stop loving me when he had second and third child. If newer ones are loved and older ones are neglected, it would be misery.
Old ones would be unhappy when new ones come and take all attention away from them.
Every married man has someone at home to keep. Wife. We have a longer memories than the road ahead of us.
I am not saying "stop the show and let's replay" No. not at all. I am saying not all of us have to follow like rats. We are, in reality, individuals.
Keep going while refreshing old ones. That's what I am saying.
If someone says he is renewing, rejuvenating, reshaping, recreating, rebulding old one new, I am all for it.
I also don't mean we should keep old ones too long. Puppy is only 5 years old. Too old one, yes, they got to go. I didn't say anything when my wife throw old treasures(she called "junkies")such as 2 Amiga 500s, Apple IIs, CoCo, Vic, Timex1000(ZX in UK), Commodores, 800, 130XE Ataries.
She wants to keep the house for people not for dead old monsters.
And she said "I shouldn't live in the past" Thank God she didn't rip my old photos with other girls.
Somethings gotta go but somethings gotta a stay a little longer with us.
We don't have to hurry to throw things away too soon.

I agree, I'm working on something that most retro puppies user will like.
4 series is a lost cause, unless we update the backend, Its hard to compile these days with it, The compiler is outdated, the gtk has bugs, and a few other parts need some tlc.
3 series now thats worth revisiting, Slackware hardly has updated much even 12.2 its all that different to 12.0 (puppy 3 series)
2 series well thats really for older hardware, That needs a lot of tlc.
really the older releases need the kernel to be patched first, which is out of my league, Never tried it yet. But if we had earlier kernels patched with the latest drivers or what ever they could handle, then yes they should be updated. I would compile just about anything to get them going again.
Ps 2.02 would be a great start. It doesn't recognize usb mice or sata dvdrw's. You get that fixed and I'll be there.

I agree with most of what you said
and I did something about it
to preserve some of the older versions
by carefully striping them down
I built the fat free series
versions 213-3.01
all built with unleashed one package at a time
a very tedious process
since all the packages were lumped together
so the ground work is there already
if you want to update any of those
just select what is your favorite puppy version
Ps 2.02 would be a great start. It doesn't recognize usb mice or sata dvdrw's. You get that fixed and I'll be there.
Jeff the only annoying incompatibility with versions less than 214
is package management but what I am working on now would help
fix that problem
then the other is the window manager registering packages
maybe a change of window managers

here bigbass have a look
there's actually lots of post about sata burners not working on 2 series, I couldn't boot from 2.02-2.15 with my latest sata burner, so I dropped in a ide burner and it booted all of them, also the sata burner works on 4&5 series just fine, I haven't tried it on 2.16, 2.17 or 3 series yet. Also on 2.02 my usb mouse didn't work, others they did. Still trying to fix that one, would be handy for others.

To be objective, not subjective,
There is a poll "Best Puppy version Poll"
Many said version 3(or 3.1)
I think so, too.
But I still think my last version 2.14R more needs update.
I heard ecomoney is working on it. I expect "Shinny and new like a virgin" or "new and improved" like most US commercials in the 80s.
Not because of nostalgia, I had tested "EVERY" puppies I could find before I chose 214Remaster.
It was stable which I value most. But the firefox was so unstable.
Also, I couldn't find any WINE for that. Eventually moved up to 4.12 Retro. (Yes, I am an old man. Things like retro attracts me.)
With more attractive icon sets, themes and wall papers, 2.14R should look new.
Under the hood, well, need new drivers maybe.
The features like
1) loading up to 40 sfs with changed initrd.gz something (I do remember MU posted something about it. But I don't remember where. Hmm.. memories.. kills me) Most notably evident success in ChoicePup.
2) Adaptability : WINE for windows "repository" and /or
Upup like Ubuntu adaptability. and /or
Slaxer like Slackware repo.
4) trim the fat : like trimmed menu. we don't need all that network menus for an example. Just one for connecting(Network wizard alone is fine)
5) replace the old apps with "lighter"& new ones. like "antiguo" posted in the puppylinux.org. So even P2 would run it. Right now the 4.12r installed in my P2 is a failure. Tooooooo slow.
6) and keep the size down to 50? impossible? diet crazy, huh?
For me puppy MB equals to human weight.
If these things are done to 2.14R, it should be 2.14N(new born, Neo whatever) Name really doesn't matter.
Just a personal opinion.

Just read this
I am one of those people shouting for revival.
Don't take it as "resurrection from the grave"
Take it as a pleasure like rebuilding old classic cars in the garage.

This is indeed a positive discussion.
Just a thought....
Ubuntu has an LTS version - what about Puppy LTS?
Puppy2 LTS
Puppy3 LTS
Puppy4 LTS
Have small development teams (eg: 3 peeps) for each series to continue support and development... However, it would need dedication, for those ppl to commit to that project - mmmm sounds like hard work.
Again let me stress that these developmental teams in no way affect or hinder the outcome of the latest Puppy Development.
My additional 2 cents....

Hello, linuxsansdisquedur
Before I chose 2.14R, there were some final candidates.
Among them was PizzaPup. I don't remember now why I dropped that one but I felt 2.14R was more solid.
2.14R was fine until I felt a great need for WINE.

I don't remeber now why I couldn't use WINE but I think I tried.
Mabe I couldn't run my favorite apps at that time and thought higher version might work then.
Anyhow, I miss the good old

DEAR JOAN: Hawks hunting the birds at a feeder, the subject of a recent letter, was something we've experienced also. Our two border collie mix adoptees, Bob and Dave, have been very helpful.
At first, when we would see a hawk, I would call out to Bob, "Birdie, birdie, birdie," and he would charge out the doggy door and chase it off.
After a while he started to recognize the small bird's alarm calls and run it off on his own. Dave helps, too.
The hawks have given up and now seek to find their dinner somewhere else. It works with cats, too. No harm to anyone.
Gary Shuler
Rio Vista
DEAR GARY: Very clever dogs. I'm sure the birds would give them a medal if they could, but the hawks would definitely put them on their most wanted list.
DEAR JOAN: Your information about putting bird feeders under awnings so the hawks won't see them was wrong. We know. We have been through it all with those damned hawks.
Hanging the feeder under an awning won't do any good. The hawks already know it's there, whether they can see it or not.
What they can see are the birds flying to and from the feeder. They hide in surrounding trees and grab the birds when they fly off.
Simply taking the feeder down for a couple of weeks, as you stated, does not work either. The hawks are very smart and already know the little birds had been there.
As soon as you put the feeder back up and all the birds come back to munch, the hawks come back also to munch.
Sure, they may leave for awhile, but they will discover all the activity in your yard and will return, again and again.
The best solution is to take the feeder down for good. Do not feed the birds. Once the hawks find them, you are fighting a losing battle.
DEAR JANIS: Sorry the recommended methods didn't work for you and, in your case, taking down the bird feeders may have been best. You were obviously upset at watching the hawks doing what hawks do.
What I think most of us lose sight of, however, is that the hawks need to eat, too. True, we may not want to see it happening, but if they aren't picking off birds in your backyard, then they are doing it some place else.
Not having the feeders up means the hawks may have to work a little harder at finding prey, but they will find them. They need to eat, the same as all creatures.
Research has shown that only 10 percent of hawk attacks are successful — 90 percent of the time the birds avoid the talons. Those 10 percent usually are older, weaker birds or sick and injured birds.
Naturalists credit the hawks with helping to keep the general bird popular healthier. Like most true predators, hawks don't kill for entertainment but for their survival. They kill only what they can eat or feed their young.

17 January 2014, Geneva, Switzerland - 2014 is a crucial year for the disaster reduction community. With only 14 months to go until the third World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction, the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR) is organizing a variety of international consultations and two formal preparatory committees in charge of paving the way to the adoption of a new Post 2015 Disaster Risk Reduction Framework. The current strategy, the Hyogo Framework for Action, was adopted in 2005 at the World Conference that took place in Kobe, Japan.
Disaster risk reduction is a complex domain in which technical and policy issues are intertwined. Diplomats and delegates who will participate in the preparatory committees to be held in Geneva and then in the World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction in March 2015 in Japan need to develop enough familiarity with technical aspects, terminology and interdisciplinary facets that permeate disaster risk reduction. UNITAR is preparing to help the process by offering objective and factual technical briefings to all interested delegates during one-day courses to be organised back to back with the preparatory committee sessions planned in Geneva in July and November 2014. An on-line library and set of tutorials will complement the programme.
The content of the orientation and training programme is being developed by UNITAR expert trainers and UNISDR staff. Margareta Wahlstrom, Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Disaster Risk Reduction, says: "The UNITAR Training Course is being designed to provide a comprehensive overview of key issues related to disaster risk reduction and will contribute to establish a level playing field for all delegates and diplomats in the up-run to the adoption of the Post-2015 Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction. It will not only provide all participants with an insight into the significant impact of disasters on poverty reduction efforts and economic losses in general but also stimulate debate about what the priorities should be in the Post-2015 Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction".
The orientation and training programme includes modules curated by DRR experts and a dedicated section on multilateral conferencing and diplomacy curated by UNITAR's Multilateral Diplomacy Programme. The Programme has a long record of working with UN Member States and other partners to strengthen the capacity of diplomats and other government officials in multilateral diplomacy, particularly in view of increasing performance in conferences and meetings convened at the United Nations and regional organizations.
UNITAR is seeking donor support to complete the design and ensure the timely delivery of the courses in Geneva in July and November 2014.

Jerry Jones Finally Has No Comment
December 26, 2008
"The coaches are in place. I've said that. How can I be any clearer?" Jones said. "Look, I've said that our coaching staff, as far as I'm concerned, is in place. I just want to make the statement rather than answer questions, because your questions imply certain things that I don't want to imply.
"I'm saying that when I look at where we are coaching staff-wise and when I look at where we are personnel-wise, I see a team that is in place to compete for several years."
Wow. That was my initial reaction to the statement by Jerry Jones the day after Christmas. Maybe Jerry Jones has such confidence in his staff that, regardless of the outcome against Philadelphia in the regular season finale, that he will stick his neck out and proclaim "no changes". How many of us cringed when we saw that footage? But hey, if Jerry says it's so we have to go along with it. After all, he's brought 3 Lombardi Trophies to Dallas in the last 19 years. Who are we to question Mr. Jones? He obviously knows what he's talking about. Right?
December 30, 2008
Dallas fires Special Teams coach Bruce Read. Any Cowboys fan I've talked to said this was the right move after Read's disastrous season in 2008. Now this wasn't a shock. Let me rephrase that. It wouldn't have been a shock had Jones' vehement proclamation just 4 days earlier not been uttered. Surely that will be the only change. Right?
January 16, 2009
Dallas fires defensive coordinator Brian Stewart. Now this one is a tough call in my opinion. It was reported that late in the season Wade Phillips took over the reigns of the defense and, as a result, the defense began playing at a much higher level. No doubt the defense came alive late in the season. Apparently Stewart was just standing on the sidelines with his headset turned off? Maybe he was listening to Brad Sham and Babe Laufenberg calling the games each week? Sorry, I got sidetracked.
My point is if the staff is in place why was Stewart fired? Why was Read fired? Why is Jerry Jones' favorite phrase as of late "no comment" in regards to the newly unemployed staff that is now "in place" at the employment office. The personnel is also in place. But when asked about the future of Terrell Owens again we get a big fat "no comment".
In early December, after the loss to Pittsburgh, Jerry Jones questioned the toughness of Marion Barber. That was just stupid. Period.
What really happened this season is Jerry Jones continually put his foot in his mouth. He made comments that bit him on the ass so now he's making no comment at all. It is a fresh approach I'll give him that much. The guy hasn't been this quiet since he bought the team back in 1989. I find it very refreshing. My dream is that someday soon Mr. Jones will wake up one morning and realize his team needs a new GM. But until then, at least as far as JJ is concerned, no news is definitely good news.

Past Meetup
Mt. Hollywood Cardio Workout
From Los Angeles Hiking Group
This Meetup is past
7 people went
Join us for a great evening workout to Mt. Hollywood Peak in Griffith Park starting from Fern Dell Dr./Los Feliz Blvd. The views of the observatory and city lights are amazing and it sure beats that boring treadmill/stairmaster in the gym. Chances are you'll get a much better workout too.
Training Concept:
This will essentially be a form of interval training, which is actually quite effective for increasing your cardio capacity/fitness level. Since we are all at different fitness levels some of us will likely keep a faster pace than others. We'll all try to push ourselves a bit to get our heart rate up and then catch our breath and re-group at the junctions.
Difficulty: Advanced
You need to be well conditioned for this workout. Although the distance is short this is a high intensity workout and several sections are very steep. This is not a slow paced "social hike". We'll keep a fast pace power-walking or jogging to get our heart rate up to improve our conditioning.
Since we typically do different trails every week the difficulty and distance varies. In general though the workouts are easiest the first Thursday of the month and most difficult the last Thursday of the month.
Extra Weight Option:
For those of you who are very fast and may feel the group is not moving fast enough, consider bringing a weight vest or backpack with weight - sand, books etc. Avoid hard objects with sharp edges like rocks though as it may hurt your back. I would only suggest this if you have attended one of these and know that you can move a lot faster than the group. The extra weight will slow you down significantly.
The Plan:
We'll meet by the bear statue (see photo) at the intersection of Fern Dell Dr. and Los Feliz Blvd. at about 6:45 PM, do some stretching and introductions etc. and get started at 7:00 PM sharp.
We'll start heading up the paved path parallel to Fern Dell Dr. Then we'll head up one of the many trail options to the peak of Mt. Hollywood. At the peak we'll catch our breath for a few minutes while enjoying the city view before heading back down a different way (usually).
Distance & Elevation Gain:
4-6 miles and about[masked] ft or so cumulative elevation gain/loss depending on trail option.
Time Required:
About 1.5 - 2.5 hours depending on trail option.
What To Bring:
- Headlamp (best) or flashlight and spare batteries (important)
- Trail running shoes or flexible hiking booths with plenty of traction (important)
- Hydration system (best) or bottle with water or Gatorade etc.
- Your cell phone
- Layered clothing including a light wind breaker jacket
- Consider camera
Click here for Google directions to the meeting spot.
You may not park on Fern Dell Dr. after sundown or on Los Feliz Blvd before 7 PM. However, you may park on the residential side streets across Los Feliz Blvd. like N. Oxford Ave., N. Serrano Ave, or N. Hobart Blvd.
Consider Train:
Our meeting spot is only 1/2 mile from the Hollywood & Western station on the Red line so depending on where you work/live this might be a great option to get there. Trains go every 10 minutes or so. This is how I get to and from work and I love not having to deal with traffic. Simply walk/jog north on Western and around the turn and you are there. It makes for a great warm up too.
No Shows:
It is inconsiderate to the leader or anyone on the waiting list to RSVP and not show up, therefore I am registering no-shows. For this event you need to change your RSVP to "No" minimum 30 minutes before the start of the event. If you have multiple no-shows on your record you may not be admitted to the event when there are people on the waiting list.
Please ensure that you are in good health before participating in a high intensity activity like this one. If you are in doubt please get a check-up with a physician. As an event organizer I assume absolutely no responsibility for you. I am simply a "training buddy", nothing more. If you choose to participate, you assume all responsibility for yourself and agree not to hold me or our Meetup group liable in any way.

Sir Thomas Elyot, (born c. 1490—died March 26, 1546, Carleton, Cambridgeshire, Eng.), English author and administrator, memorable for his championship and use of English prose for subjects then customarily treated in Latin. Both as a philosopher and as a lexicographer, he endeavoured to "augment our Englysshe tongue" as a medium for ideas.
He was clerk to the Privy Council (1523–30) and was knighted in 1530. A member of Sir Thomas More's circle, Elyot was suspected of being out of sympathy with Henry VIII's plan to divorce Catherine of Aragon and probably owed his lack of advancement to his friendship with More. In 1531 he published The Boke Named the Governour, dedicated to the king, and that autumn went as the king's envoy to the court of the Holy Roman emperor Charles V.
Elyot's very popular Governour, a plan for the upbringing of gentlemen's sons who were to bear authority in the realm, was the first important treatise on education in English and did much to form the later English ideal of the gentleman. His Castel of Helth was a popular regimen of health that, written in the vernacular and by a layman (although he had received some instruction in medicine), incurred censure but was widely read. His Dictionary, the first English dictionary of Classical Latin, was published in 1538. The aim of all Elyot's works was usefulness: he brought classics and Italian authors to the general public through his translations, he provided practical instruction in his own writings, and he added many new words to the English language.
