In the field of petroleum, location is everything. If you want to find oil, you don't drill in Rhode Island. And if you want to find wisdom about gasoline markets, you avoid Washington, D.C.
In good times, the confusion and folly of our elected leaders have only limited impact. But when pump prices rise to painful levels, as they have lately, you can safely assume that whatever politicians say and do will be poorly conceived and ill-motivated.

Is there a place where I can post questions about GTA in general? Here?
Anyway... sure, it'll probably never see the light of day but god damnit, I want San Andreas Stories for PSP! Rockstar has staff check fansite forums like this one every now and then, so if there's a big enough demand.... maybe?
Family Guy got back on the air 'cause of fan demand and DVD sales. It can happen!
Thinking about it though, that'd be one LONG fucking game to crane my neck to stare at a PSP for hours.

A 23-year-old Bennington, Vt., man is facing charges after heroin was found in the car he was driving in the Western Massachusetts city of Holyoke, State Police said.
Deven Moffitt is facing charges that include conspiracy to violate the drug laws and possession with intent to distribute a Class A drug.
He was driving on Hampden Street in Holyoke at about 10 p.m. Wednesday, when Trooper Charles Murphy stopped him for a motor vehicle violation.
State Police, along with officers from the Holyoke police, searched his green Geo Prizm and found 202 bags containing what State Police believe to be heroin. Each bag had a street value of $6 to $10, said Lieutenant Dan Richard, a State Police spokesman.
Moffitt was arrested and transported to the Northampton State Police barracks.
Kristen Gables, 21, and Cheri Lizotte, 20, both of Vermont, were also in the car. They were issued criminal citations for possession with intent to distribute heroin, among other charges.
Moffitt was arraigned on the charges Thursday in Holyoke District Court, Richard said. He was released on his own recognizance.
A pretrial conference has been slated for March 1, according to the Hampden district attorney's office.Jacqueline Tempera can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow her on twitter @jacktemp

We recently purchased this tent for a camping trip. I've never seen truck tents before, and after much research - this was the one for us. During our camping trip we had rain and heavy wind. I'm pleased to say even the awning held up - and never fell with the winds. We stayed warm and dry - and had plenty of room for 2 people to sleep PLUS our gear. This tent is worth every penny and is great quality for the price! You can't beat it!

I am trying to migrate up to the latest ZCS, starting at 5.x, 32 bit on Ubuntu 6.04 and moving to 5.x 64 bit on Ubuntu 8.04, with a change in IP, but not hostname.
I am following the "Network Edition: Moving from 32-bit to 64-bit Server" wiki entry.
imapproxy and memcached were running on the old server. When I do a full install on the new server, copy over /store, /index, and so on and restart, I get the imapproxy error.
I then disable the imapproxy and memcached services with zmprov.
Everything seems to go well until I do a restart and check status.
ZMlogswatchctl, zmmtaconfig, mailboxd, and zmmailboxdctl are not running.
I check passwords.
(as zimbra) I issue the mysql command. It connects.
(as zimbra) I issue the logmysql command. Access Denied.
I followed the procedure in "Issues with mysql and logmysql passwords" but still get the Access Denied problem with logmysql.
Not sure where to go from here.
hosts and hostname are setup identical from server to server, with the exception of the IP.
Should I disable imapproxy and memcached on the old server before I copy over? Does that only affect the ldap backup?
What to look at next?

Dan Marino Admits He Fathered A Child With A CBS Production Assistant
By Mack Rawden 3 years ago
Almost a decade ago, NFL legend Dan Marino had an affair with a CBS production assistant. The woman, named Donna Savattere, gave birth to their love child back in June of 2005, and only now has the affair become public. Apparently, the longtime Miami Dolphin paid her millions of dollars, and the two agreed never to discuss the affair in public. Unfortunately, someone leaked the story earlier this week, and rather than peddle a bunch of lies, Marino admitted what happened.
In a written response to The New York Posts initial expose, the quarterback took responsibility for what happened. You can read a portion of his official statement below
This is a personal and private matter. I take full responsibility both personally and financially for my actions now as I did then. We mutually agreed to keep our arrangement private to protect all parties involved. My wife and I have been married for almost 30 years and have six children together. And we continue to be a strong and loving family.
After having the baby, Savattere reportedly moved to Texas to raise the child. Later, she purchased a home in the Hamptons and became a regular on the New York social scene. A little more than three years ago, she married Nahill Younis at a ceremony in the Bahamas, and hes reportedly handled quite a bit of the parenting duties, coupled with some irregular visits from Marino.
Obviously, this affair was a major mistake in Marinos life, but if his wife has forgiven him and hes gone above and beyond to provide for the child, theres really nothing else he can do, especially if Savattere doesnt really want him to be involved in the kids life.

We had a pretty lazy weekend, which doesn't happen very often around here. To be honest it was actually quite nice to lounge around in my pj's all weekend.
It was pretty difficult to motivate myself to get the dogs out for a walk each day but I did it because the days of hiking in the woods behind our house are quickly coming to an end as I watch Mother Nature try to make up her mind up of which season she would like Northeast Ohio to be in.
Winter or Spring?
We only walk in the woods behind our house in the winter due to the unsavory conditions it's in at other times of the year. As soon as Spring hits, the area will be covered in mud and will not be passable for us until Summer, of which, it will be too warm for the dogs to go for a long hike.
So for now I must take advantage of Mother Nature's uncertainty, get out of my pj's and savor the days that we have left of walking in the woods.
Now, which way should we go?

33 Comments on Taking Advantage Of Mother Nature's Uncertainty
Same around here. Although our problem isn't mud but tourist once spring and summer hits. Too many people all at once. It is one thing I will miss when the warmer weather hits.
Hope you enjoyed your walk!
Bobby looks like a newfie in those photos….just sayin'.
XXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
Love it that in the last photo Sherman and Leroy are looking in opposite directions We are a mud pit at the moment, but now they're predicting more snow. Mother Nature is a fickle sort.
We are always out walking but mom really hates spring as it is such a messy time of year and us dogs, especially me get so dirty. We are getting a load of snow right now, so that means a few more good days of walking until that melty mess starts again. Enjoy the woods!
Our snow has turned to mostly ice which makes walking difficult. We wanted to take the dogs for a walk through the forest around the cabin this weekend, but there was too much deep snow and ice. We have the same problem once Spring hits in full gear, then the bugs come out so we don't head to the forest. Fall and early Spring are the best times to walk there.
Glad you were able to get out a bit. Wonderful photos.
Three adorable boys!
Looks like a lot of fun! It may be cold out but when your hiking, you warm up quickly.
We're lucky we can get in the woods any time of year, but winter is my favorite! Glad you enjoyed your weekend!
Those are great photos!
Wow! We're in spring here, hayfever and all. We had sun this weekend (along with some rain and a little hail) and Jack Frost visited last night, but the weather is great.
I'm bummed about no snow, but if the option is getting none or getting dumped on, I'll be thankful for the lack of snow
Lazy weekends are good sometimes!
We usually have to take summer off from hiking here because its too hot and I worry about that for Bunny, although we've found that often if we go early in the morning, they can tolerate it for a short hike. We do tend to hike a lot more in the winter, though, and it certainly brings us some great views!
I go hiking all year round here in London – but we do have about six months of mud too *waggy tail*
You could go both ways??!!
What handsome boys you have. I face the same dilemma every morning with my chickens and ducks, not wanting to spend an hour outside in 30 degree weather, just watching them forage. *sigh* But it's worth it, isn't it?
I hear you on this being the best time to hike. My guys hate the heat, too, and I HATE the ticks that are soon to re-emerge.
Happy Monday!
We used to live in northeast Ohio and I remember well those early March "tween" days with nostalgia.
My big beef with hiking in the spring is the bugs. There are too darn many bugs! We deal with the mud by hosing off when we get home. Of course I have a sweetie that likes to roll in deer doo, so there are baths sometimes too. LOL
Spring and fall are the best walking months for us. Too hot in the summer and Mom doesn't do well with ice.
We are so not looking forward to mud season!
Enjoy your snow while it lasts. Looks like a fun hike!
Marquie, Lassie & Petal
Well, there's no snow down here…and it surely isn't as cold here either, though today is "chilly" and mom hates chilly. She would never get out of her pjs and take me for a hike in the snow. Those are some lucky dogs to be out frolicing in the snow!
Wow – that looks chilly! And also fun!
Oh, how we wish the Momster thought like you do – we can't get her to take us for a walk unless she has smooth, dry, clear pavement under her human paws – too risky for her to fall, she says:(
Enjoy one of those hikes for us.
Woos – Phantom, Thunder, Ciara, and Lightning
That snow always looks better from the inside out
Benny & Lily
Thankfully for both us, Newfs are happy cold-weather dogs!
I am definitely not looking forward to the muddy season. Fingers crossed for a quick winter-straight-to-summer transition (not likely!).
Which way to go? Sherman and Leroy seem to have a different opinion …lol 😉
Gosh, I really would love some of that snow! It's 79F here in Houston, Texas!!! Yuck! Keep meaning to ask..how much to your pups weigh? I love how huge they are!
It kind of makes the walk in the woods special if you can only do it during one season. As far as where to go? Chester and Gretel say to go where the vermin are
My mom is in West Chester and she's not excited about the snow that is coming – at least you can get out with your boys and have some fun!!
Woof1 Woof! We saw that last photo on FB. So which way did you guys go? Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
If I was there I'd go every which way and keep playing until I had to come in for dinner – oh how I wish Mother Nature would get confused and give us some snow in California, even just once?!
Wags to all
Your pal Snoopy
I can't imagine how messy your guys would be if you tried to walk through there once mud season sets in! Glad you are enjoying the walks while you can.
That must be so fun just to be able to pop on some pajamas and go for a walk in the wooods with these two beauties, ugh I need some country roads in my life…or forest hikes would do

The white-collar union at Boeing said Thursday it has filed charges of age discrimination against Boeing with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the state's Human Rights Commission, alleging the company's approach to more than 2,500 layoffs since last year "doubled, tripled, and quadrupled layoff vulnerability for older employees."
The Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace, which represents 25,000 engineers and technical workers in the Puget Sound region and elsewhere, said Boeing engaged in "secret manipulation of the ranking factors" that determine which employees are kept when jobs are moved or restructured, and then "announced a series of work movements and reorganizations to implement the manipulated layoff order."
Ray Goforth, the union's executive director, said in a statement that the movement of work "is merely a pretext for the wholesale purge of Boeing's older workforce."
Boeing, in an emailed statement, said it "does not discriminate against its employees on any basis."

"Diversifying our engineering workforce reflects changes in our business and is not related to the age of our employees. We're disappointed that SPEEA filed this baseless complaint," the company said.
In an interview, Goforth said Boeing ranks its engineers every year based on their experience and skills. The ranking is roughly the order in which people would be laid off, if layoffs occur.
In 2013, Goforth said, management whistle-blowers came to SPEEA claiming they were told to secretly change the ranking system in a way that would discriminate against older employees. Goforth said SPEEA tried to file grievances against the company but was unable to do so without more proof. In March, Boeing finished the latest rankings and SPEEA analyzed the data.
"The first run at that statistical analysis, we didn't believe," Goforth said. "We looked at it and said, 'This is so grotesquely illegal, we must have made a mistake.'"
He said SPEEA compared the rankings to previous years and commissioned an outside analysis of the data. The conclusion was that the chance of an employee being laid off in their 40s was doubled, in their 50s tripled, and in their 60s quadrupled.
SPEEA has also encouraged individual employees who feel discriminated against to file suits against Boeing with the EEOC, Goforth said.
The company has moved some engineering work from the Puget Sound area in a series of steps since early 2013.
It announced 1,500 IT jobs would be shifted to St. Louis and North Charleston, S.C. In April of this year, it told employees 1,000 engineering jobs supporting in-service airplanes would be relocated to California by the end of 2015, after two similar shifts to California in 2013 that totaled 675 jobs.
And in December, management told employees at its advanced central research-and-development unit, known as Boeing Research & Technology, that about 1,000 jobs — roughly half the BR&T jobs here — will be moved by the end of 2015 to new technology-research centers in Huntsville, Ala.; St. Louis and North Charleston.
Boeing executives have said the changes will lower the company's costs and create new "centers of excellence" in different fields.
Information from Seattle Times archives was used in this report.

In their early sloppy, alcohol-sopped party rock days, when they weren't downright terrible, they could be a short distance from their musical heroes, The Faces.
|Rod Stewart and The Faces defined great drunken Rock and Roll
When they summoned up a melodic beauty in a song's refrain, they could reach the cosmos of one of their other major influences, Big Star.
|Big Star with Alex Chilton (right)
Through their earlier days the line-up was founder/guitarist Bob Stinson who, in an effort to keep his little half-brother out of trouble, presented Tommy Stinson with a bass. Adding their friend, guitarist turned drummer Chris Mars, the new band, Dogbreath, would cover Ted Nugent, and Aerosmith, standard stuff for 70's kids to play.
Paul Westerberg would eventually join Dogbreath, and eventually become both the main vocalist, primary songwriter and second guitarist. After discovering all the British punk bands also including The Damned and Buzzcocks, they became The Impediments and then, after being fired and banned from a church hall venue, they became The Replacements.
|The Replacements tear it up n the early -80s
After signing to the Minneapolis based Twin/Tone Records, the band would travel though several releases that saw them in search of a sound. They had embraced faster hardcore, tried to emulate the speed that was defining their friendly rivals, Husker Dü. Wallowing in booze and drug scorched live shows, and though still in love with the earlier bands that defined their tastes, their confusion led to records that had yet to distinguish their future brilliance, although for some folks they are still worthwhile albums. Revisiting them now, they sound much better than I thought at the time.
The Replacements' first single and studio album
Their second album 1983's Hootenanny, was the tipping point. Westerberg stretched his songwriting to include more variation, more hooks and the result was an album that found more fans and notice but a band still not quite so happy.
Tired of the loud/fast rules motto, and influenced by R.E.M.'s subtlety and variety, the band tried out newer instrumentation, and Westerberg's new material reflected a more sincere band that no longer cared if the punks thought they were cool or not.
|The Replacements: Tommy Stinson, Chris Mars, Bob Stinson and Paul Westerberg on the floor
Then the triumphant trio of superb albums that I hold as personal faves emerged:
Let It Be (1984), Tim (1985) and Pleased To Meet Me (1987) are as wonderful as anything to have been released during the Eighties.
|The winning trifecta
Filled with masterful songwriting, locked in performance and a bravado that replaced goofy antics with assured connection to the influential bands that they worshiped initially. Here were records that could bring you to tears or soar you into the sky.
Trouble is, behind the scenes and onstage all was still not well. all was not well behind the scenes. after Let It Be's release, though things were looking up, there was still excessive partying, shambolic live shows, low incomes and finally, a switch from the indie Twin/Tone label to the major label backed Sire Records.
After Tim came out on Sire, the band fired their founder Bob Stinson for too much partying and an unwillingness to perform the slower material. The group soldiered on, changed producers (Tommy Ramone produced Tim) and became a trio for another remarkable album called Pleased To Meet Me.
|The Replacements with Slim Dunlap in the back
For Pleased To Meet Me, the band called in fellow Minneapolis guitarist journeyman Bob "Slim" Dunlap, an older, wiser musician who had an influence of Hank Williams and Keith Richards, and was monikered as "one of the last old-school cool guitar players."
Slim would start out as a guest player, but then become a full time and well-respected Replacement.
With a classic single "Alex Chilton" that paid homage to the Big Star/Box Tops vocal legend as well as having Big Star producer Jim Dickinson at the helm, the album was a wonderful mixture of all the elements that made the Replacements a stellar band. .
Pleased To Meet Me, as it usually is for the best ones, was not the Top 40 hit the band was hoping for, but this trio of albums, like the early Ramones albums that were also not huge selling hits, will always continue grow in acclaim, influence new listeners, make top 50 best of lists and assure that the band would be immortalized forever in the pantheon of memorable rock bands.
|Don't Tell A Soul: Terrible cover, mediocre album
The next album, Don't Tell A Soul (1989) was a glossy lackluster album. Westerberg was seemingly running the show and the production reeks of a slick 80's type that brought an unwelcome sheen to many a good band releasing albums during that period. A tour with Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers didn't turn out to be the right move.
The final album, All Shook Down (1990) was recorded largely by Paul Westerberg with session musicians. Westerberg realized the end was near and came up with a great album that reflected the finality of the group.
While All Shook Down sounds more like a solo album, still it has a beauty with it's emphasis on acoustic instrumentation that the previous album never came near. It would signal the future solo work of Paul Westerberg.
Drummer Chris Mars quit, and was replaced by the late Steve Foley for a lengthy 1991 farewell tour after which Tommy Stinson would then quit (Tommy went on to form various bands, play solo and join Guns N' Roses!) and the band officially ended.
Bob Stinson, who long battled drug and alcohol addictions, died in 1995.
In 2006, Mars, Westerberg, Stinson with Josh Freese on drums recorded two songs for a best of compilation, although it was never really thought to be any sort of official long-lasting return.
2013: The Reunion...
|Tommy Stinson and Paul Westerberg promoting a good cause
Sometimes it takes a selfless act for another to rise above the petty squabbles and arguments of the past. So seems to be the case when Slim Dunlap suffered a bad stroke in early 2012.
As The Replacements, Paul Westerberg and Tommy Stinson, decided to help with Dunlap's medical bills.
Westerberg and Stinson announced they'd reformed and recorded an E.P. of cover songs with additional members drummer Peter Anderson and guitarist Kevin Bowe.
Chris Mars, who left music to continue to work on his highly successful, prolific career as a painter (Captain Beefheart did the same thing when he left music for painting) didn't want to be a part of the recording reunion, but did agree to contribute to the release with a beautiful new solo recording and artwork.
This 10" 5 song vinyl E.P., called Songs For Slim, was pressed in a limited edition, singed and numbered run of 250 and then auctioned off on eBay.
By the time all the auctions, which included a bunch of rare Replacments goodies, ended the band had raised $100,000 for Slim, with most copies selling for over $300, low numbers selling between $500 - $1000 and 1/250 selling for $10,000.
The Song For Slim Project will be an ongoing project that will also release split 7" singles by musicians such as John Doe, Frank Black, Lucinda Williams, Steve Earle, NRBQ, Jakob Dylan, Peter Buck, Deer Tick and others to continue to raise money for Dunlap's long term care.
The Songs For Slim E.P. will be available later in the year for general purchase and the band is not ruling out a new album and tour.
Thoughts and prayers go out to Slim Dunlap and his family.

Showing up
In many ugly situations, those abroad appreciate Americans
When photojournalist Bill Bingham and I met Ivan on his daily trek, he flashed a gold-toothed smile-and then began to cry. He had not seen an American since wartime duty in 1941-45. "We were America's friend in war then," he said movingly. "Now we need our friends, again."
Ivan was traveling down a snowy track near Myski, a tiny Belarussian village inside a restricted zone saturated with radioactivity after the Chernobyl nuclear accident in 1986. Soviet soldiers plowed under Ivan's farm in order to break up atomic nuclei in the soil and make sure no one would live there again. They moved Ivan and his wife to a three-room apartment in Myski with no hot water and sometimes no heat. Every day he harnessed his remaining plowhorse to a wooden sleigh, its timbers held together with twine, climbed aboard a straw-filled seat, and rode back to the homeplace. In winter he visited old family graves. In summer he picked nuked apples.
Fifty years of Cold War had not diminished Ivan's regard for Americans. Emotionally, he was overcome by it. He insisted I ride out the journey with him on the sleigh. It was no Dr. Zhivago idyll, even though the driver was Russian and the way was snowbound. His life spanned the rise and fall of an empire, so he had much to tell. He survived fighting in Manchuria only to watch comrades bulldoze all he owned and sentence him to a tenement existence. He lives in the modern world's shadow, prompting a horse over radioactive wasteland. "I come here to feel my motherland," he said when we arrived at his dilapidated fields. Our visit reminded him that not everyone is a forgotten soldier, he said.
Encounters for an American traveling to farflung places are not always so poignant. The Hollywood bimbo stereotype is alive and well, so propositions come from cab drivers or in fruitbaskets left by the door. Much more common are the sorts of embraces I welcome: from Muslim mothers, grateful veterans, barefoot children, Bosnian bomb-shelter dwellers, anyone who is hungry or living among open sewage.
American charity overseas in modern times has had a distinct personality. Like the grinning GI who pops out of the tank hatch at the end of Life Is Beautiful, it is cheerful, overconfident, and open-armed. These are good weapons in a hellhole.
In Turkey's earthquake aftermath there were Japanese Red Cross workers in crisp khakis, French rescuers all natty in blue and orange, Scandinavian doctors with lullaby accents. Yet these were overlooked for one American with a notepad. Victims who tugged me through split apartment buildings and overturned china cupboards were sure I could help. "You see. You write. You American, no?" they said.
Why are we so important to know?
For some, Americans are the gatekeepers: to money, to CNN, to a green card, to Broadway. The American dream is the one they say is still worth dreaming.
Others have less complicated visions. In between the last century's Vietnams have been thousands of daily disasters, where Americans performed the most basic service-they showed up.
They held a hand, took some notes, changed a diaper, carried the water. In Turkey, some of the first Americans on the scene were Youth With A Mission volunteers, who dropped language studies in order to deliver groundcovers and first-aid kits to the earthquake zone. They had no rescue dogs or underground listening devices. They drank coffee with survivors, read Scripture, and prayed over their devastated lives. For all the reputation of self-indulgence, overconsumption, and buffoonery, Americans are seen by many as the ones with lamps trimmed and proper clothes.
If readiness is all, it comes without lifetime guarantee. Fear and arrogance are the pitfalls of a national life lived without faith, the hallmarks of a culture without prevailing grace. Moved by fear, we buy extra flight insurance. Prompted by arrogance, we snipe when the natives won't serve us on Sundays. We demand that cab drivers and clerks speak English.We ask that peacekeeping operations be wrapped up in two news cycles.
And so it is instructive that last year's Nobel Peace Prize went to Medecins sans Frontiers, a French-founded charity. MSF medical teams braved Sniper Alley in Sarajevo, and made history dashing from pillar to smoldering post in Bosnia. Meanwhile, American soldiers were confined to quarters in Tuzla, helmeted in full battle gear against a suicide bomber-cut off from the people they came to protect. Too often nowadays, we show up when there is no cost left to pay.
Aloof, we miss something important: The Saddam Husseins and Osama bin Ladens of the world are outnumbered by millions in many countries who overlook our bad habits and remember we did some good things. They remember that we liberated Holland, exported the polio vaccine, dug through the rubble, and gave away our grain. Most of the world abroad, the real world of shoe clerks and students and mothers and veterans, wishes us well.
They think we must all be like Teddy Roosevelt, who called on his countrymen at the dawn of the 20th century "to uphold righteousness by deed and by word ... to be both honest and brave, to serve high ideals, yet to use practical methods."

Professional appraiser and auctioneer Tim Luke's annual visit to Wheeling is being punctuated by a special trip to California to participate in two big celebrity auctions.
In the midst of his month-long stay at Oglebay Park, Luke will be traveling to the West Coast next weekend to serve as an auctioneer for Julien's Auctions' sale of personal and professional memorabilia from the estates of entertainers Bob and Dolores Hope and comedian Phyllis Diller.
Luke revealed that, yes, some of Diller's famous (or infamous) wigs will be up for bid, along with a number of paintings created by the comedian, who also was an artist. Likewise, he said the Hope auction will include artwork that Bob Hope painted.
Both auctions will take place at Julien's Auctions in Beverly Hills, Calif. The Hope auction will be conducted in three sessions, offered Friday and Saturday, Sept. 20-21. The auction of Diller's belongings will entail two sessions, both on Sunday, Sept. 22.
According to the Julien's Auctions website, items being auction from Diller's estate include costumes, wigs and jewelry, as well as antiques and furniture. Memorabilia to be sold from the Hopes' estate features items from the couple's careers and personal lives, including some of Bob Hope's golfing gear.
Tim Luke and his business partner and husband, Greg Strahm, have presented annual educational, professional development and entertaining programs with the Museums of Oglebay Institute and community partners for the past 10 years. Proceeds from the events presented here by the couple are donated to the museums.
This year's venture is particularly significant. In addition to being Luke's and Strahm's 10th annual visit to Wheeling, Luke is celebrating his 50th birthday here this weekend.
The pair presented their annual fun session of "The Appraisal Guys' Price Is Right" with audience participation and "celebrity" contestants at the institute's Mansion Museum Friday evening, Sept. 13. They conducted their annual appraisal event at Cabela's at The Highlands Saturday, Sept. 14. The day was slated to conclude with a paella party at Oglebay to celebrate Luke's big birthday. He encouraged friends to make a donation to Oglebay Institute if they wanted to mark the occasion.
Speaking at the Ohio County Public Library's Lunch With Books session Tuesday, Sept. 10, Luke said that his mother and Strahm's family are attending the festivities. "I wanted to share Wheeling with them," he remarked. "It's wonderful to be here."
A tribute to the late Irene McKinney, who served as poet laureate of West Virginia from 1994 until her death in February 2012, is being offered today in Charleston.
The celebration of McKinney's life and work will take place at the state Culture Center at 3 p.m. today, Sept. 15. An informal reception will begin at 2 p.m.
Speakers for the program include current West Virginia Poet Laureate Marc Harshman of Wheeling; Maggie Anderson, who served as poet-in-residence in Marshall County many years ago; Jeff Mann; Devon McNamara and Jessie van Eerden.
West Virginia Public Broadcasting and John Nakashima are presenting a montage of radio and video clips from some of McKinney's "most memorable interviews and readings," organizers said. Kate Long and Doug Van Gundy will provide music for the event. A memorial quilt, designed in part by Barbara Weaner, will be on display in the Culture Center.
Linda Comins can be reached via email at: firstname.lastname@example.com

Google, Facebook and Twitter bolster digital defenses in wake of NSA revelations
For past few months, Facebook Inc. Google Inc., and other top Internet firms have been grumbling that without the knowledge or assistance of the firms, NSA (National Security Agency) has followed online communications. This has already created a lot of stir worldwide and as per Snowden's revelations, many new aspects related to NSA's working have come forward. However, Google has found the technique in encrypting users' information but other companies are still working on, in doing so, said by privacy lawyers.
But few suggested that the companies' attempts may not be act as long lasting protection because encryption technology keeps on changing very quickly. Kurt Opsahl from Electronic Frontier Foundation said that computer security is fast-moving domain. Latest security flaws get noticed, while new and improved standards get publicized.
Initially, web agencies were cautious about their encryption attempts which are concerning with government scrutiny and which they analyzed as a sensitive subject. It has been reported that both Facebook and Google have silently improved their protests and in some cases accelerating programs that were already in the actions.
But off lately, Google, Yahoo and Microsoft's senior executives have publicized their efforts in order to show their rising rage over government inspection and to convince users that the internet firms are doing all, what they can do to shield information.
In 2010, Google, first applied ordinary encryption to its internet-based Gmail service, but with the passage of time, it has added safeguards for other sorts of files that email users receive and send from Google's servers.
In a latest public appearance in London, Eric Schmidt, Google Executive Chairman announced that we have used the tight security for all our operations, and we are trying hard to make it tighter. He added that we can say that we are now saved against the NSA and the Chinese.

Are teachers prepared for racially diverse schools? Teachers describe their preparation, resources, and practices for racially diverse schools
The Civil Rights Project
Short Description:
Given the changing racial demographics of the nation's schools and the primary role of teachers in shaping the education of their students, this report takes advantage of a unique opportunity to ask a broad sample of more than 1,000 of the country's educators about subjects that are rarely studied in national surveys.
Given the changing racial demographics of the nation's schools and the primary role of teachers in shaping the education of their students, this report takes advantage of a unique opportunity to ask a broad sample of more than 1,000 of the country's educators about subjects that are rarely studied in national surveys. The research was guided by several questions, including: • What kind of preparation do teachers have for diversity? • What kind of practices and resources do teachers have for teaching about diversity or teaching in diverse settings? • How do educational policies aid or inhibit teaching in diverse classrooms? The answers to these questions should inform future curriculum development in schools of teacher education, as well as professional development opportunities for teachers already in the classroom.

Sabri, how are you? How did the surgery go? READ COMMENT
I wish I had your small nose! If I did I never would have started with this wretched rhinoplasty process. It is emotionally and financially taxing and sometimes taking away parts of the nose reveals new issues and asymmetry. I know that... READ COMMENT
Hi! You look gorgeous! Rizk is the best for primaries, your nose is so small and perfect! You have been so generous to share your progress and photos with us. I hate to ask but I was wondering if you have any current pictures with a bit... READ COMMENT
You were very pretty before but now you look like a famous actress! How is the healing going? Do you have any updated pics that you would be willing to share either on the board or via pm? Thank you for sharing your experience! READ COMMENT

Here are three books to which I'm especially looking forward: a preview of the writes of spring.
"The Flamethrowers" by Rachel Kushner (Scribner) April 2
Rachel Kushner's first novel, "Telex From Cuba," was a sensation: Set in the years before the Cuban revolution, it was a national bestseller and a finalist for the 2008 National Book Award. Her follow-up, "The Flamethrowers," operates in the space between creativity and politics, the saga of an artist who travels from Lower Manhattan in the late 1970s to become immersed in the white-hot center of Italian radical politics. Kushner is a vivid storyteller, worth reading for her sentences alone. But even more, read her because of her ambition, her ability to push the novel beyond the personal and into an engagement with the larger world.
"Bough Down" by Karen Green (Siglio) April 30
This exquisite book is an impressionistic miracle, an assemblage of short text fragments and collages by an artist trying to make sense of her husband's suicide. That this husband was David Foster Wallace is beautifully beside the point, for the focus here is on the experience, the bleak and necessary journey of grief. Green is a pointed writer, open and at a distance all at once. The effect is unsettling, elliptical, necessarily open-ended and at times brutally revealing: a necessary explication of loss as a fact of daily life.
"Never Built Los Angeles" by Sam Lubell and Greg Goldin (Metropolis) April 30
I can't wait for this: an art book featuring more than 400 images that offer a vision of the city Los Angeles never became, in the form of nearly a century's worth of plans, designs and layouts, including the Olmsted Brothers and Bartholomew's "Plan for the Los Angeles Region," a 1930 reimagining of the city as a whole. Edited by architectural journalists Sam Lubell and Greg Goldin, "Never Built Los Angeles" is also the source of an exhibition, curated by the editors, that will open this summer at the Architecture and Design Museum on Wilshire Boulevard.
