Whenever people discuss software that they would like to see ported to Linux, they mention desktop publishing (DTP) applications like Adobe InDesign and QuarkXpress. But Linux already supports an application aimed at DTP users. Scribus is an open-source page layout program that runs on Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X. Is it a viable alternative to proprietary products for professional production work?
For nearly a decade, starting in the mid '90s, my primary responsibility at work was editing and laying out graphics and text in documents. QuarkXpress was the first page layout program I used, followed quickly by various versions of Aldus (and later Adobe) PageMaker. A few years ago, I started to work with Adobe's successor to PageMaker, InDesign.
From my work, I learned that for a page layout program to be efficient and effective, it must facilitate a workflow that includes importing and consistently formatting text, tables, and illustrations (both in vector and raster formats).
Installation was a little tricky because it was not immediately clear how to get the latest version. The main Web page for Scribus shows version 18.104.22.168 as the latest stable version. However, a news release from May states that version 1.3.4 is the most recent. The release points to a download page for version 1.3.4, and that is where I got the source files with which I compiled a package for installation. RPM files for different architectures are available from the same page.
Had I not seen a Linux.com article on the release of version 1.3.4, I would not have known that it was available. Version 1.3.4 is a development release, but the distinction between stable and development releases is a subtle one for those not familiar with open source development practices.
File importing
Unlike word processors, page layout programs presume that most of a document's content is created in other programs. Document authors create text in word processing programs, illustrations in drawing program such as Illustrator and Inkscape, and edit photos in raster image editing programs such as Photoshop and the GIMP. Therefore, it is vitally important that a page layout program be able to import a wide variety of file formats and precisely place them on a page.
Scribus handles most common file types correctly. I was initially disappointed when I found that Scribus would not import my Microsoft Word files, since Word is extremely common, and in a production environment, the chances are high that most authors will be submitting their text in Word format. After reading a help file, though, I learned that Scribus uses the Antiword utility to convert Word binary files to text during the import process. Scribus checks for the presence of Antiword when it starts; after I installed it, Scribus imported Word files without problems.
Additionally, Scribus easily handles raster and vector image formats such as EPS, TIFF, JPG, SVG, PNG, and (surprisingly) native Photoshop PSD files.
Tables are not handled so elegantly. If you insert a blank table, Scribus simply groups individual text boxes together as cells. You must ungroup them to add text to them. As a result, tables do not import well. The solution is to create tables in another program (such as OpenOffice.org Writer) and save that file as a PDF, which Scribus can import as a graphic.
Document setup and formatting
In Scribus, as in many other page layout programs, users must draw frames on the page to act as containers for text and graphics. For many publications, text comprises the bulk of a document and requires the most time for layout and formatting. Drawing text frames and linking them so that text can flow from one frame to the next would be a tedious task, but Scribus has a feature that automates the process. When setting up a document, users can select an option to have text frames automatically drawn on pages. A further benefit of this option is that the automatically drawn text frames are also automatically linked.
Keep in mind, though, that automatic text frames work best when the text to be inserted is more than a page or so long. I tried using automatic text frames for a project I'm working on that has more than 40 text files, with many of them shorter than a page. The time I spent unlinking text frames so I could place text from a subsequent file negated the time savings from having Scribus place the text frames on the page.
Once text has been imported, you can format it by applying paragraph and character styles. Scribus's styles manager provides a convenient place to create and edit styles, but I found its interface difficult to use. It is not immediately clear that paragraph styles — which govern justification, spacing, and indentation, among other attributes — incorporate character styles, which determine font size and color, among other things. More troubling is the fact that changes I made to established styles did not seem to apply consistently to text already formatted with those styles.
Master pages are page templates where you can place elements such as headers, footers, and page numbers. When applied to a regular page, those elements are not editable. Scribus handles master pages well, and allows you to create multiple master pages.
Unfortunately, there does not seem to be any way to automatically apply formatting consistently to images and other graphics. For example, I like to have each image use the same text wrap settings, and to have those setting be the default for newly placed images. I was unable to get Scribus to set that kind of default. Also, Scribus has only limited support for object effects such as the color of text and graphics boxes. I could find no support for object styles or special effects like drop shadows for text and graphics boxes.
Despite some shortcomings in the software, I can cautiously recommend Scribus as a capable page layout program. I experienced some inexplicable crashes, especially when I tried to copy and paste full text frames. If those crashes had not consistently happened, I would more highly recommend the application.
Scribus suffers, though, when compared to commercial page layout programs. Its interface is harder to use and less intuitive than PageMaker's or InDesign's. I found it more difficult to design master pages, create paragraph styles, and format imported text than it is in those other programs. One could argue that my complaints reflect a bias based on years of familiarity with Adobe's products, but the development road map on the Scribus wiki identifies several improvements and desired features indicating the relative youth of this program compared to the mature state of a program like PageMaker.
One feature that I consider critical but that I could not find in Scribus is a book utility to keep track of multiple Scribus files associated with a publication. A book utility would be most helpful in situations where each chapter of a document gets its own file. It would track those files and automatically ensure that mater pages, styles, and pagination are shared among all the files in the book.
On the other hand, Scribus is an incredible value when comparing cost versus capability — especially because it is the best page layout program for Linux users. Furthermore, Scribus users have addressed many of the shortcomings by writing Python scripts that extend Scribus's capabilities and interface and posting them on the Scribus wiki. Overall, the development team has done a fantastic job creating a capable DTP program. With time and further development, I have no doubt that Scribus can be as full-featured as other alternatives.

Software or nightmare? In the world of desktop computers, it's often impossible to tell the difference. Here are hard facts you can use to create the system you intended to have.
What operating system (OS) should you use? This is usually a choice between Microsoft, Macintosh, or two dozen flavors of Unix. Unless you run Apple hardware or know UNIX, you probably should choose a Microsoft OS, -partly because so many applications will run on it. But, many new applications are "cross-platform": they run on most OSs. You may consider other OSs, if they run the programs you intend to use.
Microsoft now provides two OSs. Disk Operating System (DOS) has several variations, including two popular Graphical User Interface (GUI) overlays: Windows 3.x and Windows 9x. While DOS is a 16-bit system, the Windows 95/98 overlays allow it to run powerful 32-bit programs. The other OS is Windows New Technology (NT), which came out with an integral GUI in version 4.0. We'll look briefly at each OS, then move on to some tweaks and tips.
DOS may run a machine that NT won't, and it will run legacy (older) software on legacy hardware. DOS runs laptops without NT's limitations. DOS is versatile. And stable, until you run a GUI on top of it. Unfortunately, Windows 3.x won't run 32-bit applications. Windows 95 will run 32-bit applications, but not efficiently. Unless you run legacy software, legacy hardware, a low-end laptop, or old games, there's no compelling reason to use Windows 95. However, you can bring the speed and stability of Windows 95 to a level satisfactory for low-end operations. The tweaks in this article apply to both NT and 95.
Windows NT is Microsoft's answer to UNIX. NT is capable, powerful, and reliable. However, it's not as fast as UNIX, and it doesn't handle as well. NT will crash more often than UNIX. (Note: This author has run NT 4.0 since August of 1996 without crashing). Also, NT isn't very scalable. High scalability means you can run more processors under a single OS. If your motherboard runs a single CPU, this is irrelevant. But, if you are using NT for a giant network server or massive number cruncher that needs multiple processors, you've got the wrong OS.
Exactly how NT excels over Windows 95 would take several pages to describe. If you want trouble-free computing, NT is going to get you much closer than Windows 95 will. In the bargain, you'll get faster disk access, more efficient data storage, and better memory utilization-in short, more computer for your dollar. This author timed a Pentium 200 on Windows 95 doing a FrontPage recalculation. It took eight times longer than the same recalculation on an old Pentium 100 running NT 4.0.
How you lay out your hard drive(s) has big impact on how fast and reliably your computer runs. Most program defaults put user files on the C: drive. That makes no sense with today's inexpensive drives and dual drive computers. If you have only one physical drive, installing a second will allow quantum leaps in performance and reliability.
A partition is a virtual drive within a drive. NT 4.0 limits the maximum number of partitions per drive to four. Thus, an 8.4 GB drive requires at least one partition larger than 2 GB. A caution with partitions: if you have a network, you may find all or most of the partition letters used up. If so, you must combine a few of these recommended partitions. Think about what their purposes are and combine accordingly. If you must combine, use a folder in place of a partition. Instead of a partition labeled "temp," you may need a folder labeled "temp." Assign your CD-ROM to some higher drive letter, such as K, if you can. Proper partitioning allows for easier backups, less fragmentation, and faster disk read/write operations. It also means less confusion to the OS, which may crash because of poor partitioning.
With the following partitions in place, you double the speed of your hard drive read/writes. On drive No. 1, make one 500 MB partition, one 2GB, one 1GB, and one for your drive's remaining space (Fig. 1, on page 64A). On drive No. 2 (Fig. 2, on page 64A), make one 500 MB partition, two 1GB partitions and one for your data files.
A huge pagefile on each drive allows your OS to write to both drives simultaneously while doing paging operations. With no waiting. This can give you a more dramatic boost than moving up four processor levels, and it's cheaper. On each drive, use a 1 GB partition for your Windows pagefile. This unfragmented pagefile will boost system performance dramatically over a "Let Windows manage..." option. Once you've made this partition, go into Windows and set your pagefile size to 990 MB: somewhat less room than the partition has. Make sure you do not use the whole partition for this.
The 2 GB partition on drive No. 1 is your boot and programs partition. Label this C:, and install only your OS and programs on it. The 500 MB partition is your backup boot partition, with just your operating system on it. Put one of these on each drive, and size it for 500 MB. You can boot from this partition and fix your system with little chance of losing data. The 1 GB partition is for your drive No. 1 pagefile. Partition the remaining space for files that won't change very often. You can label this partition "Archives."
Drive No. 2 also has a 500 MB backup boot partition, holding only a backup installation of your OS. Use a 1 GB partition for your pagefile. Use the other 1 GB partition for temp files, including "temporary Internet files." Then copy the existing temp files from C: drive to this new partition. Be sure to copy your profiles folders. You will need to go into the registry editor and change all the defaults to match the new locations. Using the search function and the F3 key makes this easier than it might seem. The remaining partition will use the rest of your hard drive. Label this "data" or something to denote these are files you generate.
You can prevent or cure many problems with software tweaks (see the Table), but you may need hardware tweaks, too. The pagefile tweak may be the most important you can make. Unsure of where these tweak controls are? Click on your Start button, then Settings, then Control Panel. You'll find all the tweak controls you need. Look at the system performance option: move the slider to the right and see the effect. Since the Internet is so busy with everyone logging into http://www.ecmweb.com, modems are bottlenecks for most users. Go into Settings/Control panel/Modem/Maximum speed, and set it as high as it will go. This speeds up your computer-to-modem data exchange.
What about drags on your system? Screen savers, which have no effect on the life of your screen, are Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR) programs. They have a tendency to terminate your efforts without warning, providing a steady drain on system resources. Don't use text marquees for screen savers; these OpenGL (registered trademark) programs are resource-hungry. OpenGL is for the complex graphics used in Jurassic Park and Terminator 2; not exactly what you want running in the background while you sweat out a CAD project.
Another culprit is Microsoft's Fastfind. Fastfind does thousands of unnecessary read/writes. Then we have third party utilities with all their sensors, monitors, watches, and other loads. One good utility has a poor reputation because of overly tight default settings. If you have such a program, look at all the sensor settings. If you pay attention to your filing system, do you need to know how much disk space you have left every 2 sec? Change this setting or shut it off. Extend the sampling times, so these third party utilities don't wear out your hard drives and your patience. Look at the autobackup/autosave settings on your various programs. Autobackup places a drag on your system, but if you aren't the kind of person who hits the save button every time you make a major change, this small drag is worth it.

THE BRAZEN CAREERIST- Skip resolutions: Work on things you can see
I'm not a fan of New Year's resolutions. We know that people keep less than 5 percent of them, and I think a big reason is that anything we are trying to change in our lives is really about self-discipline. It's the act of saying, "I want to make a change, but I'm going to do it in January." That's not self-discipline, that's procrastination. If you want to make a change in your life, you can start right now.
1. Start small
Solving problems is a snowball thing, which might be the most transformative research I have come across in the last five years because it has given me the encouragement to get started on lots of personal changes that look hard. For example, if you go tell yourself you have to drive to the gym every day, you can change your life. You don't need to force yourself to workout; you can sit in the parking lot. You probably will go inside, but you can tell yourself you just need to drive there. So reorganize your day so you can do that. And if you actually go inside, then you will eat better. So you don't need a goal of working out more or eating better. You just need to change your daily schedule.
2. Think in increments of three weeks
And, more good news: Your New Year's resolution really takes only three weeks to complete. Because if you force yourself to change your behavior for three weeks, your brain will start to develop more dopamine in response to the behavior that you are trying to change to, according to Monika Fleshner, a neuroimmuno-physiologist at the University of Colorado at Boulder. For example, after three weeks, your brain will start to release dopamine when it thinks about going to the gym instead of when it thinks about ditching the gym.
3. Get the wording right
The biggest source of poorly worded goals is the urge to do something to please someone else. It's hard to write a clearly worded goal if it does not come from inside you. "Live up to my potential." That a great example of a terrible goal. I mean, what is potential? How do you know it? How do you know if you are there? What does it look like? If you say "I need to go to the gym more," just forget it; it'll never happen. You need to break down the steps. You should say, "I need to drive to the gym at 4:30 every day, and I cannot drive out of the parking lot until 5:30."
4. Visualize what you will look like
Research reveals lots of tricks for getting you to stay on your path to your goal– tying success to money, telling friends, etc. But there's a guy, Jim Fannin, who coaches professional athletes like Alex Rodriguez. He says that the key to making these guys great is visualization. He teaches them to visualize what success looks like. If you can't do that, it doesn't mean that it doesn't apply to your goal. It means your goal is bad. Psychologists understand that people are unlikely to reach any goal they can't visualize.
5. Forget New Year's day– start now.
Pick one reasonable thing you can change in your life for three weeks straight. Just to practice self-discipline. Don't even worry about the other, big stuff you want to change. Start off 2010 by creating this small path to big success.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a nervous system disorder that worsens over time. It affects nerves in the brain and spine that are responsible for muscle movement. The nerves gradually die, which can lead to almost total paralysis, including being unable to breathe. ALS is fatal, often due to respiratory failure.
The cause of ALS is unknown. Genes may play a role.
The symptoms of ALS are caused by the death of the nerves. If the nerves can't send signals to the muscle, then they are unable to work. Overtime, the muscles become weak and shrink from lack of use.
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your chance of ALS include:
- Having a family member with ALS
- Having certain genetic mutations
Military veterans have twice the risk of ALS as the general population. It is not clear why.
The first signs of ALS are subtle and can be different from person to person. They may include:
- Changes in how you speak
- Frequent tripping while walking or general clumsiness
- Trouble with fine motor tasks like grasping a pen
The speed of the progression can be very different between people. As the disease progresses it can lead to:
- Progressive weakness in arms and legs
- Wrist or foot drop
- Difficulty holding things
- Muscle twitching
- Unpredictable and changing emotions
- Slurred speech— dysarthria
- Hoarseness and coughing
- Trouble chewing and swallowing, resulting in frequent choking and gagging
- Weight loss due to trouble eating
- Trouble breathing
- Excess salivation, drooling
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. There are no tests that can specifically diagnose ALS. Instead, tests will be done to rule out other medical conditions.
Imaging tests to look for changes in the brain or spine may include:
Other tests may include:
- Blood tests—to look for infections or metabolic change
- Lumbar puncture —to look for changes in the fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord
- Biopsy to evaluate tissue under a microscope
Your muscles and nerves may also be checked. This can be done with electromyogram (EMG)/nerve conduction velocities (NCV).
Your thinking and processing skills may also be checked.
There is currently no cure for ALS. A combination of treatments may help to reduce or manage symptoms. Treatment options include:
The drug riluzole and edaravone have been approved for ALS. The drugs may slightly improve functioning, but it does not stop the disease from progressing.
Medications may include:
- Muscle relaxants to help muscles that are in spasm
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and other pain medications
- Medication to reduce heavy drooling
- Antidepressants and anti-anxiety drugs
- Medication to treat inappropriate laughter or crying
Other Types of Treatments
Supportive care may be needed as ALS progresses, including:
- Physical therapy—To reduce pain associated with muscle cramping and spasticity
- Respiratory care—In some cases, extra oxygen may be needed or a machine may be needed to help with breathing. Surgery will be eventually needed to make an artificial airway that bypasses the throat.
- Nutritional care—Swallowing will eventually be lost. Nutrition will need to be delivered through a feeding tube .
- Speech therapy—Speech therapy may help improve communication. This will not only include working with speech when possible, but also finding other ways to communicate when speech is no longer possible.
- Seeking mental health counseling and joining a support group

'Boss from hell' knuckle-rapped for 'firing contests'
Crossing the line between motivation and harassment
Not all thankless jobs are in IT. In the American heartland, a court has sided with the ex-employees of one businessman who held "firing contests", in which he offered cash prizes to staffers asked to predict which unfortunate worker was next to face his wrath.
"This guy was the boss from hell. He treated pretty much all of us like dirt," one victim of William Ernst, owner of the small Midwestern convenience-store chain QC Mart, told The Des Moines Register."
Ernst's fun li'l motivational scheme, detailed in a memo sent to employees entitled "New Contest – Guess The Next Cashier Who Will Be Fired!!!", told employees that he'd be sending spies – "secret shoppers", as they're known in the trade – around to his convenience stores to root out employees who were not abiding by Ernst's rules, such as his prohibition of hats.
Employees were encouraged to write down the name of the employee they thought would next be snared in Ernst's trap, and seal that prediction in an envelope. After the next firing, Ernst would open the envelopes and the lucky winner would receive a princely $10.
"And no fair picking Mike Miller from (the Rockingham Road store)," Ernst wrote. "He was fired at around 11:30 a.m. today for wearing a hat and talking on his cell phone. Good luck!!!!!!!!!!"
After receiving the memo, several employees at one convenience store decided they had had enough of Ernst, and quit. When they applied for unemployment benefits, Ernst contested the claim, saying that since the resignations were voluntary, unemployment was not justified.
Judge Susan Ackerman, however, sided with the employees, calling the contest "egregious and deplorable." In her ruling, she declared that "The employer's actions have clearly created a hostile work environment by suggesting its employees turn on each other for a minimal monetary prize," Ackerman ruled. "This was an intolerable and detrimental work environment."
One commenter to the Des Moines Register story asked, quite logically, "Do I win a prize for guessing that Mr. Ernst will be the next person to be fired?" ®

The 'quit captaincy' calls for Mahendra Singh Dhoni grew louder, with former selector Mohinder Amarnath questioning his place in the Indian team, accusing him of blocking the entry for other deserving wicket-keepers.
"Who is Dhoni to say that I want to stay there [in the team] and take this challenge [of captaining the side]. What has he done?" asked the hero of India's 1983 World Cup triumph, at a promotional event in Pune.
Dhoni has refused to step down from captaincy despite the team's humiliating loss to England in Kolkata insisting he doesn't want to run away from the challenge.
"He doesn't deserve a place in the team. There are better keeper-batsmen in the country. They are not getting an opportunity because he is the captain," he said.
Former India players like Dilip Vengsarkar and Krishnamachari Srikkanth have similar views.
Amarnath believes that the only reason why Dhoni is being given an extended run as captain is the World Cup triumph last year.
"He has been captaining the team for the last one year because India won the World Cup. We are talking about one-day cricket here and not Test cricket," Amarnath said, while talking about his dismal Test performances.
Speaking to Times Now, Amarnath revealed said that "certain internal reason" prevented the selection committee from replacing Dhoni as captain after eight successive Test defeats in England and Australia
"Definitely, there were discussions to replace Dhoni and people were agreeing to do so; but for some internal reason, it didn't happen.
"I will not like to divulge what were the reasons, but when the time is right, I will let the people of this country know about the reasons," Amarnath, the hero of India's 1983 World Cup victory, said.
In a roundabout manner, Amarnath also admitted that there were external pressures on the selection committee when the topic of Dhoni's removal was broached.
"In Indian politics and cricket, it's always the same. There are people who are controlling the game and other people are scared to take a stand," he told the television channel.
"I believe that Dhoni should be removed as captain from the Tests. He hasn't set the Test stage on fire. A captain's place in the team should be secure and I don't see his place secured in the side. He doesn't have the technique for Test cricket," Amarnath said.
It was widely believed that the veteran of 69 Tests and 74 ODIs, who was in line to become the chairman of selectors, was removed at the behest of Board of Control for Cricket in India president N Srinivasan as he had a fall-out on Dhoni's captaincy issue.
To a question whether someone showed him the constitution to overrule the decision of selection committee, he smiled and replied, "I would neither agree nor deny this.
"But I don't think that any selector is aware about the constitution. I am a person who doesn't believe in being controlled. I love to do my work freely. I don't think there should be interference in selector's job," stated the man who was known for scoring plenty of runs against the likes of Malcolm Marshall, Michael Holding, Imran Kha in his heyday.
Amarnath also believes that the selectors need to speak to Sachin Tendulkar
"Look, age has everything to do in life. Even players like Javed Miandad, Brian Lara found it difficult once they crossed mid-30's. So selectors should sit and speak with Sachin."

Books I Love: "Voyages" by Raymond Depardon
Hey folks,
My first installment of a new series titled "Books I Love." The concept is very simple. Find a book in my collection, photograph it, then share it with you. The idea being to share what I love about the book or why I have it. The books will range from traditionally published, POD and handmade. The only stipulation is that I love the book. Most of them have a backstory, which I will also share. Books and photography are forever linked, so why not explore the relationship through my bookshelf. Hope you enjoy. This first installment features photographer Raymond Depardon and his brilliant book "Voyages."

TOKYO, April 22 (UPI) -- A $49 billion disaster relief budget was announced by the Japanese government Friday to cope with earthquake-tsunami recovery, Prime Minister Naoto Kan said.
Kan told reporters in Tokyo no new federal debt in the form of bonds would be issued and there would likely be supplemental revisions to the budget, the BBC reported.
On March 11, a magnitude-9 earthquake struck northern Japan, triggered a tsunami that washed away entire coastal towns and created a nuclear power plant disaster in Fukushima. At least 27,000 people were killed or are missing, emergency officials say.
Kan said money for relief efforts would come from pension funds and emergency reserves.
The budget has to be approved by Parliament but the BBC said little opposition was expected.
As for the radiation leakage at the nuclear power plant, U.S. nuclear engineer Jack DeVine told CNN it could take decades to completely shut down.
DeVine worked on the Three Mile Island nuclear accident in Pennsylvania in 1979 and said it took three years for engineers to safely access the damaged nuclear core.

Retail Interior | The Wonder Room | Selfridges | London | Designed By Klien Dytham Architects
The Wonder Room project was a chance to reintroduce those elements of surprise and wonder to the Selfridges and create a department store for the 21st century. Inspired by the concept of Wunderkammer and Curiosity Cabinets, the Wonder Room is a luxury gifts emporium with the energy of a souk.
The Wonder Room occupies 1,800 sqm of London finest retail space on the ground floor of Selfridges' Oxford Street store. The key element of KDa's design is an elegant wall of fins running around the perimeter of the room, between these fins float crisp display cases. The idea that brands would have a uniform facade that they would all adhere to seemed a clever idea. Each brand would have beautiful open views into their concession stores, but when seen obliquely the fins become a screen behind which the brands disappear and the focus turns to the central area of the room....more

DeAngelo Williams may run for a living, but he's not running from his "tip-gate" controversy.
The Pittsburgh Steeler is defending his right to leave a 75-cent tip during a recent restaurant outing because of what he described on Twitter as shoddy service.
Williams signed a two-year, $4 million contract in 2015 that included a signing bonus of $1.13 million.
But, he said his hefty salary is besides the point.
"She never asked for refills and took a dish back removed what was on it and left a shrimp tail in my salad," Williams wrote on Twitter in response to a member of the restaurant staff calling him out on social media. "Then she would have to pick her face up and work harder on the other tables and not expect a big tip for bad service."
This controversy aside, Williams is one of the more vocal NFL players in regards to Breast Cancer Awareness month. During the month of October the league encourages players, coaches and NFL staff to wear pink on game days to bring attention to the disease. Williams is known for his hair interspersed with pink dreadlocks which he wears both during the NFL season and throughout the year.
Williams mother died of the disease in 2014.
The NFL player was fined $5,757 by the NFL last year for wearing eye black featuring "We will find a cure" and the breast cancer ribbon during breast cancer awareness month.

Broward County has launched a discount card program to help consumers cope with the high price of prescription drugs. The County is making free prescription drug discount cards available under a program sponsored by the National Association of Counties (NACo).
The cards may be used by all County residents, regardless of age, income, or existing health coverage, and at any participating retail pharmacy. A national network of more than 57,000 participating retail pharmacies also will honor the NACo prescription discount card, including most chain pharmacies and many independents. Cards can be picked up free of charge at many Broward County government facilities, including parks, libraries, transit facilities, the downtown Governmental Center and the County's four Family Success Centers.
There is no enrollment form, no membership fee and no restrictions or limits on frequency of use. Cardholders and their family members may use the card any time their prescriptions are not covered by insurance. Unlike many other card programs, there is no enrollment cost or membership fee. The cardholder pays the negotiated discount price or the pharmacy's retail price, whichever is lower. The average discount is 20 percent. Cardholders are eligible for higher discounts on a three-month supply of some medications through mail service. Cardholders also can save on pet prescriptions at participating retail pharmacies.
The program has a safety feature that alerts pharmacists when one drug may conflict with another medication the cardholder is taking, if the prescriptions were obtained with the NACo discount card.
The NACo discount card program remains a useful option now that Medicare Part D has been implemented. For example, the card can be used when a Medicare Part D plan doesn't cover a drug. The program is administered by Caremark Rx, Inc., a leading pharmaceutical services company with broad experience in managing drug discount card programs for sponsoring clients. The program is available at no cost to Broward County taxpayers.
Now, Broward County Animal Care and Regulation Division reminds residents that these cards can not only help you cope with the high price of prescription drugs for yourself, but can also be used for prescriptions written for your pet, such as Benadryl, and dispensed at a participating pharmacy. There are approximately 360 pharmacies in Broward County that accept the NACo Prescription Discount Card, including: Albertsons, Costco, CVS, Publix, Target, Wal-Mart and Walgreens.
For more information on discount pet medications, go to the Animal Care Web site or call NACo at 1-877-321-2652. There is no charge to the County or consumers - all costs are underwritten by the service provider, Caremark.
To learn more, call toll free 1-877-321-2652, or click here.

Nope, it's not a museum. The mesmerizing video above is of "Kinetic Rain," an installation in Terminal 1 of Singapore's Changi Airport.
Created by Berlin firm ART+COM, the weather-inspired sculpture comprises two sections, each of which has 608 rain drops—tear-shaped droplets are made of lightweight aluminum covered with copper affixed to steel ropes. They dance to a 15-minute pre-programed dance, manned by a computer-controlled machine hidden in the ceiling above. It's so hypnotizing, you could stare at it for hours. Just don't miss your flight.

Chim, [Picasso in front of Guernica in his studio, Paris], May 1937 (2012.122.13)
We Went Back: Photographs of Europe by Chim, 1933-1956, curated by Cynthia Young, opened today at the International Center of Photography. The show includes over 140 photographs, mostly black and white vintage prints but also recently discovered color work, as well as original magazines, books and ephemera. Most of the works exhibited were drawn from the collections of ICP, and many of them were never seen before. An example of the treasures included in this exhibition is this portrait of Pablo Picasso in front of his painting Guernica. In February 1937, Chim spent several weeks immersed in the Spanish Basque country, where he photographed the town of Guernica, a historic landmark of the Basque civilization that was to be violently bombed and almost totally annihilated by fascist airplanes a few months later on April 26, 1937. Following this traumatic and unprecedented attack, Pablo Picasso painted one of his most important and impressive pieces, Guernica, which was to be exhibited in July 1937 at the Spanish Pavilion of the Paris International Exposition. Picasso was inspired by photographs he'd seen in the press at the time, not unlike the ones taken by Capa, Taro, and Chim and recently rediscovered in the so-called "Mexican Suitcase." It was just before the International Exposition, when the painting was still in Picasso's atelier rue des Grands-Augustins in Paris, that Chim made this iconic portrait of the painter posing in front of his tableau. This is, to our knowledge, the only existing vintage print of this incredibly powerful portrait.

From the mansion, Langston calls Lola to invite her to Thanksgiving dinner. After Vanessa allows Lola to go, Langston promises that her and Markko will be right over to pick her up.
Three's A Crowd!
Sarah finds Vanessa in Cris's arms, Jessica says goodbye, and Tina leaves Llanview...
At Cris's loft, Vanessa comes downstairs, in a negligee, and says, "Happy Thanksgiving." When Vanessa apologizes for taking over his loft, Cris assures her it's fine - but Vanessa wonders if Sarah feels so gracious. Cris minimizes Sarah's true feelings, careful not to make Vanessa feel unwanted, then invites her to Thanksgiving dinner!
Preparing for Thanksgiving at the apartment, Layla tries to cheer Sarah up, who isn't looking forward to the holiday and expresses her dismay with Vanessa and Lola's presence in Cris's loft! Just as Sarah rants about the fact that Cris is bringing Vanessa to their place for dinner, Tina shows up - to say goodbye!
After Layla gives them some time alone. Sarah lashes out at Tina for leaving her - yet again - and accuses her of being in trouble! Over talk of Viki, Tina thinks back to Viki's banishment, then avoids Sarah's questions by giving her a gift - a little David Vickers! In tears, Sarah begs Tina to stay, but Tina cries, "I can't… If you see anything good in me, it's because of you."
Once Tina leaves, Sarah rants about her mother's disappearing act to Layla and says, "At least I got a puppy out of her… I wonder what she's done this time?" Though Sarah tries to get into the holiday spirit, Layla shoos her away and suggests she go introduce Cristian to his namesake: Cristian Vega the dog!
Viki and Clint arrive at the hospital to take Jessica to St. Ann's. When Natalie and Jared show up, wanting to help, Jessica doesn't turn them away - and everyone watches as Viki unties Jessica's hands, in order for her to sign her commitment papers. Though Jessica signs, and is ready to head out, Viki reminds her, "You need to say goodbye to your daughters first." Later, holding Bree, Jessica tries to remain strong then cries, "I don't know how I'm going to leave you." As everyone watches, Jessica apologizes to Bree for not being there but promises that once she returns, she's going to be her mommy again.
Now holding her baby, Jessica sobs, "You're so beautiful. I wish your daddy could've seen you. He would've loved you so much." …Never are they aware that Tina is watching them all from the doorway… Jessica then names her baby, Chloe, says a final goodbye to her girls then falls apart in Natalie's comforting arms.
Nora brings Brody to St. Ann's and helps get him checked-in. After Brody thanks Nora for helping him, Gigi, Rex and Wes arrive to spend some time with Brody. While Nora, Gigi and Wes go check on some things, Brody and Rex bond over their connection then Gigi and Rex surprise Brody with a visit from Shane! While Rex and Gigi look on, Brody and Shane play checkers and chat about school. Brody appears fine with the conversation until he sees the image of the little boy he killed standing behind Shane! Wes seems to detect a change in Brody and comes to his aid. After Shane rejoins Rex and Gigi, Brody admits his visions to his friend, to which Wes completely understands. "I need help," Brody says, and Wes assures him that his stay at St. Ann's will provide that help. Brody thanks everyone for coming and heads to his room - but not before Shane salutes him.
Finally at St. Ann's, Jessica commits herself with hopes of getting her life back!
After Nora arrives at Cris's loft to tell Vanessa that she's dropping the charges, Vanessa is shocked to hear she's going to be deported back to Colombia! Though Nora admits fighting the deportment isn't impossible, she claims it won't be easy. After Nora leaves, Vanessa cries, "I can't go back, Cristian," and Cristian promises that he's going to fight for her and Lola. Just as Vanessa falls into Cris's arms, Sarah appears at the door and sees them!
Tina goes back to Llanfair, to Victor Lord's crypt, where she's been staying since Viki threw her out, and rejoins David Vickers the dog - and her little pups too! Tina knocks on Victor's tomb and asks, "Are you cold in there - because you deserve it!" Tina rants about all of the hurt Victor inflicted on Viki then vows to change her own life. Before Tina leaves Llanview behind, she flashes through all of the memories she's made since returning. With David Vickers and her pups in tow, Tina says, "Goodbye Llanview, I'm going to miss you… But, you have not seen the last of Tina Lord Roberts… That, I promise you!"
Next on One Life to Live:
Viki can't forget the pain Victor Lord left behind.
Brody runs into Jessica at St. Ann's.
Blair continues to be there for John.

Satin finish walnut stock, forged/machined steel receiver, blued finish, bottom ejection, silver bead sight, pump action
Some Things Never Go Out of Style
Like satin finish Walnut and deeply blued steel. It's been said that "no one blues a gun like Browning" - handle a BPS hunter at your local gun shop and you'll see what they mean. This gun embodies tradition and is built with quality that will be passed down for generations to come.
Pump-actions have long been lauded in the world of shotguns for their reliability and ability to cycle just about any load they are chambered for. The BPS stand head an shoulders above the rest with it's superior forged and machined steel receiver - combined with dual steel action bars, it has the strongest action of any pump gun on the market.
Also unique to the BPS is its bottom feed and ejection port. Shells are loaded and ejected from the bottom, leaving one less port for dirt and debri to enter the action. Likewise, a left handed shooter won't end up ejecting empty hulls into their face. Combined with the top tang safety, this gun is truly ambidextrous.

Wonderful fishing luck
W.H. Head and Valentine Cecil caught 63 black perch with hooks and lines last Wednesday evening in a few hours at the Rolling Fork, about the "horseshoe-bend." Various parties have been bringing in and carrying off fine lots of fish and yet the river seems to be alive with them.

Smile for the Camera: Travel
Well, no one is actually smiling in this picture. That's because no one is in it – except for our poodle, Pierre, and you can't see his lopsided doggie grin. Of course, there is always the much-ridiculed Edsel face with its goofy-doofy grille grin. That's what made me smile when I saw this picture today. I was looking for pictures of our trip to Death Valley and at first thought that this was one of those "disposable" pictures with nothing much in it. Then I caught sight of the Edsel. It was like seeing an old friend.
The Edsel is the only car I remember my family taking on vacations. You can read about it in Memory Monday: Our Edsel. It was also the car that we drove to Texas in; that trip is described in Memory Monday: Visiting with Grandma Brinlee. My mother, father, and brother took turns driving over the long stretches of highway through California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas during that long-ago Christmas vacation. It was particularly painful for my father, who was suffering from a slipped disc that had been misdiagnosed as kidney problems. After learning the hard way that Pierre could not ride in the back seat due to carsickness, my parents allowed him to ride in the front seat the rest of the way.
The car trip had some exciting, if not downright scary, moments. When we were driving from New Mexico to Texas, I seem to remember some winding roads, and it had been snowing. All of a sudden I heard my mother screaming: "Cow! Cow!" Apparently my dad, tired after a long stretch of driving, had spaced out with his eyes open, and did not realize that a cow was on the road straight ahead. At the last minute he swerved off to the side and into a snow drift. No damage was done to the Edsel or to its occupants, so Mom took over at the wheel and we continued on our way. Later a favorite family joke was to point and yell "Cow! Cow!" when someone could not see what was in front of them.
On the trip to Death Valley we went with some friends of my parents, Frank, Marge, and their twin boys. The guys slept outside in the tent and truck and Mom, Marge and I slept in the trailer. The Edsel was a good car for travel through the desert, because it never overheated.
I cannot remember what ultimately happened to our Edsel – whether it was sold off as a victim of our declining fortunes or was kept long enough so that it could be honorably "put out to pasture" at an advanced age. I hope it ended up with someone who appreciated it.
Submitted for the 15th edition of Smile for the Camera, hosted at Shades of the Departed.

Having trouble with teens loitering in areas of concern or individuals of any age gathering in front of your building or place of business, and making people feel unsafe? The Mosquito alarm promises to resolve this problem using very high frequency sound to annoy teenagers who can typically hear the sound. The range of human hearing is estimated from 20Hz to 20,000 Hz (20KHz). This device can be set to 17KHz to disperse the teenage population or 8KHz to disperse people of any age from loitering in areas of concern. A range of manufacturer claims for products like this indicate that the high frequency tones can broadcast sound anywhere from 75dB to 95dB. It was recently placed outside of a busy metro rail station in Washington, DC with a variety of retail and entertainment businesses nearby. This area has become a popular hangout for teenagers, and recently the site of a brawl that left several metro rail passengers injured. (The alarm was subsequently removed after complaints of age discrimination.)
But beyond mere annoyance, can devices like the Mosquito alarm add to a growing concern: noise induced hearing loss (NIHL) among teens? Research published recently in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) showed an increase in teen hearing loss. The study showed that one in five U.S. adolescents 12 to 19 years old, approximately 6.5 million teens, had hearing loss in 2005-2006. Side effects such as severe headache were reported by pedestrians traveling to and from the Washington, DC metro rail station while the Mosquito alarm was in place. Due to the limited technical data disclosed about these devices, the potential negative impact on hearing and other health effects are unknown at the present time. There is currently no federal regulation for the use of this type of device.
For more information about Noise-Induced Hearing Loss, visit the ASHA or Listen to Your Buds websites.
