No. 85,305
1. Under K.S.A. 1999 Supp. 58-2550(b), a landlord may retain any portion of a security deposit for actual damages sustained.
2. Under K.S.A. 1999 Supp. 58-2550(c), a tenant may recover damages in an amount equal to one and one-half times the amount of the security deposit wrongfully withheld.
3. A district court acting as a small claims appellate court may only decide those issues properly preserved for appeal by an appellant or cross-appellant.
Appeal from Shawnee District Court; TERRY L. BULLOCK, judge. Opinion filed February 16, 2001. Affirmed in part and modified in part.
Steven R. Wiechman, of Topeka, for appellant.
Tracie R. England, legal intern, John J. Francis, supervising attorney, of Washburn Law Clinic, of Topeka, and Bruce Plenk, of Lawrence, for appellee.
Before MARQUARDT, P.J., GREEN, J., and ROGG, S.J.
GREEN, J.: Cedar Ridge Apartments (Cedar Ridge) appeals the judgment of the trial court which awarded Sarah R. Wurtz a security deposit, rent credit, and penalty. On appeal, Cedar Ridge argues (1) that statutory and case law do not prohibit the forfeiture of a security deposit as liquidated damages and (2) that the trial court erred in failing to award it a cancellation fee as provided for in the lease. Alternatively, Cedar Ridge argues that if the trial court did not err in awarding Wurtz a security deposit, the trial court erred in assessing the penalty. We affirm in part and modify in part.
Cedar Ridge and Wurtz entered into a lease agreement for 1 year to run from March 1, 1999, to February 29, 2000. The monthly rent was $395. Wurtz paid a $200 security deposit to Cedar Ridge pursuant to the lease agreement. The provision referring to the security deposit provides that the deposit may be retained to reimburse Cedar Ridge for damages as a result of a breach of the covenants or for rents and damages resulting from Wurtz' early termination of the lease agreement. The lease agreement also contained a cancellation provision which required Wurtz, upon early termination of the lease, to give 30 days' written notice, forfeit the security deposit, and pay a cancellation fee in the amount of $474.
Wurtz sent a letter dated October 1, 1999, to Cedar Ridge requesting cancellation of the lease due to unacceptable living conditions, return of the security deposit, and waiver of the cancellation fee. Cedar Ridge responded by a letter dated October 4, 1999, which stated that if Wurtz wished to terminate the lease early she would have to give 30 days' notice, forfeit the security deposit, and pay the cancellation fee of $474. On October 29, 1999, Wurtz completed a notice to move form upon which she noted that she was moving because she had bought a house. Wurtz then vacated the apartment and paid prorated rent for the month of November in the amount of $356.
A move-out inspection was conducted on November 9, 1999. On the inspection sheet, Cedar Ridge claimed that Wurtz forfeited the $200 security deposit, owed the $474 cancellation fee, and owed $104 for cleaning and miscellaneous expenses, resulting in a total due from Wurtz of $578. The apartment was re-let on November 20, 1999, to another tenant. The re-letting of the apartment before the end of November resulted in a rent overpayment by Wurtz of $106. Cedar Ridge indicated that the overpayment amount would be credited to the $578 it claimed Wurtz owed, alleging the revised total due to be $472.
Wurtz then sent a letter to Cedar Ridge dated January 11, 2000, indicating that in light of the rent overpayment she would not pay any of the money claimed by Cedar Ridge. Cedar Ridge responded in a letter requesting that she pay the balance of $472 within 2 weeks to maintain a good credit reference.
Wurtz then filed a small claims court petition seeking the return of the security deposit, damages, and a finding that the cancellation fee provision was null and void as a grossly unfair amount. Cedar Ridge filed a counterclaim in small claims court seeking $472. The small claims court denied both parties' claims.
Wurtz appealed to the district court but Cedar Ridge did not file a cross-appeal. The district court found that liquidated damages are prohibited by statute and awarded Wurtz the security deposit ($200) less damages ($104) plus a rent credit ($106) and assessed a penalty in the amount of $303 under K.S.A. 1999 Supp. 58-2550(b) for a total of $505. The district court refused to consider whether the small claims court correctly denied Cedar Ridge's counterclaim for the cancellation fee because Cedar Ridge failed to preserve the issue for appeal.
Cedar Ridge's first argument on appeal is that the trial court erred in awarding Wurtz the security deposit. Specifically, Cedar Ridge contends that statutory and case law do not prohibit the forfeiture of a security deposit as liquidated damages. Interpretation of a statute is a question of law subject to unlimited review. State v. Patterson, 25 Kan. App. 2d 245, 247, 963 P.2d 436, rev. denied 265 Kan. 888 (1998). Likewise, a de novo standard of review applies to the interpretation of case law. NEA-Coffeyville v. U.S.D. No. 445, 268 Kan. 384, 386, 996 P.2d 821 (2000).
The Kansas Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (RLTA), K.S.A. 58-2540 et seq., addresses the forfeiture of security deposits. A security deposit is defined in the RLTA as
"any sum of money specified in a rental agreement, however denominated, to be deposited with a landlord by a tenant as a condition precedent to the occupancy of a dwelling unit, which sum of money, or any part thereof, may be forfeited under the terms of the rental agreement upon the occurrence or breach of the conditions specified therein." K.S.A. 58-2543(m).
The RLTA also specifies when a security deposit may be forfeited. K.S.A. 1999 Supp. 58-2550(b) provides:
"Upon termination of the tenancy, any security deposit held by the landlord may be applied to the payment of accrued rent and the amount of damages which the landlord has suffered by reason of the tenant's noncompliance with K.S.A. 58-2555, and amendments thereto, and the rental agreement, all as itemized by the landlord in a written notice delivered to the tenant."
Under K.S.A. 58-2555(f) the tenant is responsible for actual damages including "any destruction, defacement, damage, impairment or removal of any part of the premises."
The issue of whether a security deposit provision in a lease constitutes liquidated damages was addressed in Vogel v. Haynes, 11 Kan. App. 2d 454, 456, 730 P.2d 1096, rev. denied 240 Kan. 806 (1986). Vogel involved a lease which termed the security deposit as a "deposit . . . as security to the Lessor for the performance of this Agreement." The Vogel court found that this language did not constitute a liquidated damages provision. Vogel further held that "a lump sum penalty, common to liquidated damages, is proscribed by K.S.A. 58-2550(b) which provides only for actual damages sustained." 11 Kan. App. 2d at 456.
Here, the lease between Cedar Ridge and Wurtz provides for a $200 deposit "as security for the payment of all charges which may accrue and for the full and faithful performance of all the covenants and conditions of this Lease Agreement." This provision is similar to that addressed in Vogel. As in Vogel, the $200 security deposit is designed to cover actual damages and is not a liqudated damages clause. Although Wurtz' lease provides for a forfeiture of the entire security deposit upon early termination of the lease, such a penalty is prohibited by 58-2550(b) because, as noted in Vogel, the statute only provides for actual damages sustained. Furthermore, 58-2550(b) requires that these actual damages must be itemized. In contrast, a forfeiture or a liquidated damages clause, by its nature, is not itemized. As a result, we find that the district court correctly refused to award Cedar Ridge the entire security deposit as liquidated damages, but correctly deducted $104 in damages from the deposit.
It is next necessary to determine whether the district court erred in calculating the penalty Cedar Ridge was to pay Wurtz for failing to return the security deposit to her. The district court calculated the penalty at $303 by first determining that Cedar Ridge owed Wurtz $202 ($200 security deposit, less $104 damages, plus $106 rent credit) and assessing the penalty against that amount (1 1/2 x $202) for a total judgment against Cedar Ridge in the amount of $505.
Cedar Ridge contends that the penalty should have been assessed against the amount of the security deposit wrongfully withheld, which we have calculated at $96. Wurtz, on the other hand, concedes that the district court erred in calculating the penalty, suggesting that the penalty should have been assessed against the $200 security deposit.
K.S.A. 1999 Supp. 58-2550(b) governs the procedure to be followed by a landlord in returning the security deposit to a tenant upon termination of the lease agreement. The pertinent part of the statute reads:
"If the landlord proposes to retain any portion of the security deposit for expenses, damages or other legally allowable charges under the provisions of the rental agreement, other than rent, the landlord shall return the balance of the security deposit to the tenant within 14 days after the determination of the amount of such expenses, damages or other charges, but in no event to exceed 30 days after termination of the tenancy, delivery of possession and demand by tenant."
Under this statute, Cedar Ridge was entitled to retain $104 from the security deposit for damages and expenses. Accordingly, Cedar Ridge wrongfully withheld $96 of the security deposit and may be penalized for doing so under K.S.A. 1999 Supp. 58-2550(c). The statute provides that "the tenant may recover that portion of the security deposit due together with damages in an amount equal to 1 1/2 the amount wrongfully withheld." (Emphasis added.) Because Cedar Ridge wrongfully withheld $96 of the security deposit, the district court should have assessed the penalty against that amount. As a result, the penalty assessed against Cedar Ridge is decreased to $144 (1 1/2 x $96).
It is important to note that the trial court also erred in assessing a penalty against the $106 rent credit Cedar Ridge failed to pay Wurtz. K.S.A. 1999 Supp. 58-2550 does not provide for a penalty on a wrongfully withheld rent credit, only for wrongfully withheld security deposits.
Cedar Ridge also contends that the district court erred in refusing to award it a cancellation fee in the amount of $474. However, Cedar Ridge did not cross-appeal to the district court the issue of whether the small claims court erred in refusing to award it a cancellation fee. Cedar Ridge contended at oral argument that it was not required to file a cross-appeal in the district court because under K.S.A. 61-2709(a) all appeals from small claims judgments "shall be tried and determined de novo before a district judge." Cedar Ridge interprets this statute as providing for a new trial on all issues considered by the small claims court, not merely a trial on the issues appealed by Wurtz. Interestingly, this is an issue of first impression.
Statutes purporting to grant the authority to hold trials de novo on appeal are to be strictly construed. Nurge v. University of Kansas Med. Center, 234 Kan. 309, 316, 674 P.2d 459 (1983).
This court interpreted 61-2709(a) as expressing legislative intent that a district court reviewing a small claims action sits as an appellate court. Armstrong v. Lowell H. Listrom & Co., 11 Kan. App. 2d 448, 725 P.2d 540 (1986). The Armstrong court rationalized:
"We construe words and phrases according to the context in which they are used and give words in common use their natural and ordinary meaning. [Citation omitted.] In natural and ordinary usage, 'appeal' does not signify an original action, but a review of a lower court's decision by a higher court. The provision for appeal 'from any judgment' and the requirement that the notice of appeal specify 'the order, ruling, decision, or judgment complained of' supports our conclusion that the legislature used 'appeal' in K.S.A. 61-2709(a) in its natural and ordinary sense.
"In the absence of express legislative directive to the contrary, we interpret 'appeal' in K.S.A. 61-2709(a) to refer to a review of the judgment of the small claims court, not to a new, original action in the district court. The provision for de novo review does not alter the appellate nature of the district court's authority, but rather specifies the procedure to be employed on appeal of a small claims judgment, directing the district court to make an independent determination of the facts." 11 Kan. App. 2d at 451-52.
Armstrong determined that the district court acted beyond its jurisdiction as a small claims appellate court when it awarded plaintiff a judgment exceeding the small claim.
The scope of a district court's appellate jurisdiction has been consistently construed as limited. See, e.g., McCracken v. Wright, 159 Kan. 615, 618, 157 P.2d 814 (1945) ("It has been the settled law of this state for many years that a district court takes a case appealed from a justice of the peace with only the limited jurisdiction of the justice and does not acquire any original jurisdiction."); Angle v. Kansas Dept. of Revenue, 12 Kan. App. 2d 756, 765, 758 P.2d 226, rev. denied 243 Kan. 777 (1988) ("[T]he Supreme Court has not interpreted any statute to allow true de novo review in the sense of a new trial on facts and issues as though they had never been tried. Even under the de novo review recognized in KCCR cases, the court is restricted to those issues preserved in a motion for rehearing . . . .").
We conclude that a district court hearing an appeal from a small claims action may only decide those issues properly preserved for appeal by an appellant or cross-appellant. Even though K.S.A. 61-2709(a) provides for de novo review, the proceeding is still predominantly appellate in nature. If an appellee were allowed to raise an issue in the district court without filing a cross-appeal, the proceeding would not be truly appellate. Because Cedar Ridge failed to cross-appeal the denial of its counterclaim, the district court was precluded from addressing the cancellation fee issue. Moreover, because the cancellation fee issue was not raised before the district court, the issue cannot be raised in this appeal. See Lindsey v. Miami County National Bank, 267 Kan. 685, 690, 984 P.2d 719 (1999). As a result, we find that Cedar Ridge failed to preserve for appeal the issue of cancellation fee provisions in the lease agreement.
In summary, we find that Wurtz is entitled to the security deposit ($200), less damages and expenses ($104), plus a rent credit ($106) and a penalty ($144) for a total of $346 plus interest. In addition, Wurtz is not required to pay the cancellation fee because that issue was not preserved for appeal.
Affirmed in part and modified in part.

Someday I'll have nice things, but for now, I don't — and I have come to terms with that. In the meantime, I have been interested in finding ways to save money on things that I need. Having been and then actively choosing to continue living as a poor college student has taught me a few things about managing little money while working full time.
1. Get a roommate and shack up near campus.
It might sound simple, but you'd be amazed how much money and time you will save in the cost of a parking pass and the hassle of traffic and weather conditions before class. Ohio weather is unpredictable. If you want to have time (regardless of mother nature's plans) between work and class to eat, it makes sense to live near campus. And if you're poor like me, you find a roommate. OSU even offers roommate listings on their Off-campus Housing website. They also offer roommate contract templates, which I recommend.
2. Drop the fancy cable.
The cost of cable is not a necessity. You can find most all of the shows, news, and movies you like to watch on demand online with no or limited commercials/ads. Chances are, you will still need the internet. Compare providers, if possible. Do not settle for the first provider your landlord recommends (unless they have a contract with a cable company; in which case, you have no choice, but can still opt out of cable). If you find a better price, ask that provider if they can match it.
3. Buy a lunchbox, a thermos, and a reusable cup/bottle, and plan your meals.
Always pack a lunch and a cup of coffee, no matter how easy the food at the cafe at work may be. Eating out for lunch every day adds up quickly, and when you pack your own lunch you can decide the contents and how healthy they are. I have also taken to bringing a thermos to work because though the coffee at work is only $1, that adds up over time. And don't forget to have something in the house for you to eat for dinner before class. It comes down to planning — when you plan your meals in advance, you're less likely to spend money on eating food on the go. If I buy a coffee every morning, eat lunch in the cafe at work, and then grab Subway on the way to class, I will be spending about $132 a month on food for only three days of the week! If I get Starbucks, that's another $36, if I get a Subway meal, another $27, etc. I also recommend having a reusable cup or water bottle to fill regularly from the cooler, and it's much cheaper than buying bottles of pop from the store (but if you'll be tempted to buy that from the vending machine at work, pack that in your lunch — it's still cheaper!).
4. Use coupons. Buy store brand, on sale, or in bulk.
You may have the image that coupons are somehow uncool, but with the economy down, coupon usage has gone up and for good reason. Coupons are a moderately simple way to save money on the groceries you need. If you subscribe to the newspaper, they're in nearly every Sunday paper. If you don't, you can still pick up a copy in the store. There's also a wealth of coupons online. If there's an item you buy often, it's worth it to do a quick check to see if there are any coupons available online.
And if you don't have time and patience for coupons, you can buy store brand items, items only when they're on sale, or in bulk. Many people refuse to use store brand, but in most cases, it's identical to name brand, and most store will give you your money back or double if you're dissatisfied. If you must have name brand, only buy on sale. Chances are your parents have a membership to some bulk club — ask them to add you to their account, if you're not on there already. Buying in bulk may not be cheaper than the sale price, but it's still less than full price in many instances. Plus if you don't mind store brand, clubs have those versions in bulk too. I do not recommend buying in bulk at the grocery store — many times, the cost per unit in bulk is higher than the sale price of that same item in a smaller quantity.
5. Find ways to enjoy yourself for less.

Gluskin Sheff economist David Rosenberg is known for his bearish views, and he's not afraid of an epic sell-off in the bond market anytime soon, even though the idea is beginning to play pretty significantly into the evolving market discourse right now.
Needless to say, Rosenberg is not convinced by the "Great Rotation" story (the idea that investors will stage a big rotation out of bond funds and into equity funds as the economy picks up and the Federal Reserve begins to normalize monetary policy).
In a note to clients today, Rosenberg weighs in on the "Great Rotation" directly. He says that the "impact of fund flows are so overblown," and essentially agrees with John Hussman's argument that those touting a "Great Rotation" don't really understand the mechanics of the market.
Moreover, Rosenberg says investors should be careful what they wish for-the rotation could go in the other direction.
Here is his take (emphasis added):
However, our own empirical research points to little more than a marginal statistically significant relationship between the general public's appetite for risk and the eventual move in the equity market (in some cycles, the correlation is inverse so for the 'rotation-asistas' among us - this could be a classic case of beware what you wish for). After all, did the lack of retail investor participation this cycle prevent the S&P 500 from rebounding 120% from its depressed lows (as it did three times in the 1930s)?
Again, citing our empirical research, nothing has been as correlated with the equity market over the past four years as the Fed's balance sheet. Lo' and behold, is it really coincidence that the Russell 2000, the mid-cap stocks, the unweighted S&P 500 and Dow Transports all hit new all-time highs the same week the assets under management at the Federal Reserve Hedge Fund reached $3 trillion for the first time (I mean, that even puts PIMCO and BlackRock to shame). Money printing creates illusory wealth and buys time, but if it was truly the answer to a deleveraging cycle, Zimbabwe would be a member of the G10 (forget where I first saw that, maybe it was Proverbs, but it deserves mention at the very least).
Rosenberg says investors bullish on equities had better be aware of the reason why they are bullish: either they expect earnings growth, or they expect the valuation multiple to expand.

Children, coach to be rescued from Thai cave
Rescue mission chief Narongsak Osotanakorn confirmed the rescue mission's third day began at 10.08am local time, 19 divers are involved today and water levels are stable (despite the rain).
"To not waste time, because of the rain conditions, the third mission has been planned and prepared since early this morning," he said.
Key points from the press conference held by rescue mission chief Narongsak Osotanakorn and the Public Health Doctor of Chiang Rai, Dhosthep Boonthong:
- The rescue mission got under way at 10.08am, Thai time [1.08pm AEST] on Tuesday.
- Narongsak said that because heavy rain is now falling, they have decided "not to waste time because of the rain conditions, for the third planned mission." The third rescue attempt has been planned since early this morning.
- Tuesday's rescue mission may take longer because there are four boars, one coach, three Seals and one Thai army doctor who all have to be evacuated from the Tham Luang cave.
- Narongsak: "if everything goes right, we will see four kids and the doctor and the [three] Seals that have stayed with the kids all come out. Four, plus one coach so it's five and the doctor and three Seals, so all of them".
- There are 19 divers, up from 18, involved in this final operation.
- "Those not involved in the mission are not allowed in [to the cave], only medical teams and divers," Narongsak says.
- Confirmation that of the first four boys rescued, aged 14 to 16, two have some signs of pneumonia. The other two "are in strong and good condition, but we are still watching them. We are doing tests and we are waiting 24 to 48 hours for the results", Narongsak says.
- The second group, aged 12 to 14, "are fine, but some of them had low body temperatures" when they came out, Narongsak says.
- The first four boys met their parents and close relatives through a glass window that has quarantined them yesterday; the next four boys
- taken out are expected to meet close families on Tuesday evening, under similar quarantine conditions.
- The boys will not meet their parents outside quarantine conditions for up to a wek, depending on the test results.
What we know so far
- All five remaining are expected to be rescued tonight, plus four others to evacuate the cave
- The day-3 rescue mission began just after 1pm AEST but may take longer than previous days as there are more people to evacuate
- The rescued boys will remain in hospital for a week for testing and health checks. Two have lung infections.
- Experts have highlighted the difficulties of the last rescue

The simple rhyme above seems to be the mantra at European automakers lately.
Renault, PSA/Peugeot-Citroen and Daimler have shed substantial stakes in non-core assets. They are doing this to sharpen their focus on their automaking operations and to generate much-needed cash to help them through the European debt crisis.
Today, Renault sold its remaining 6.5 percent stake in truckmaker Volvo for $1.92 billion. The French automaker plans to use that money to invest in France, Russia and China.
PSA is awaiting antitrust approval to sell a 75 percent stake in its Gefco car logistics unit to Russian Railways for 800 million euros.
Daimler last week said it would raise about 1.6 billion euros by selling half its remaining stake in the European Aeronautic, Defence & Space Co. (EADS). It is making the move so it can focus more on cars and trucks.
Europe's new car sales are expected to fall to a 19-year low in 2012 and KPMG analyst John Leech says that no turnaround is foreseen for the region for two to three years.
His conclusion is that this "back to basics" campaign by automakers is likely to continue.

The University of Birmingham has built resilience into its legacy IT systems by moving to a mainly virtualised infrastructure.
The university worked with systems integrator Prolinx and HP to transform its systems. It started by virtualising its financial system in 2007, which has been extended to include all corporate systems, so that the university now has 400 virtual machines and is 70 percent virtualised using VMware solutions.
Technologies used by the university include HP StorageWorks 6000 EVA and HP StorageWorks 8100 EVA disk arrays, and the HP BladeSystem p-Class and two HP c-Class blade enclosures.
"We suffered from system outages regularly and did not have resilience in the infrastructure," said Chris Grant, systems, storage and virtualisation manager at the University of Birmingham.
He explained: "We use ServiceNow to monitor the service desk. Previously, if a group of more than 100 users were affected [by an IT problem it was classed as a major incident. These major incidents averaged once a month.
"Now, there has only been one major incident in the last three years."
In addition to bolstering the resilience of the IT infrastructure, virtualisation has allowed the university to reduce its physical footprint in its two onsite data centres. Reducing the number of racks has saved on space, power and carbon emissions, Grant said.
He added: "Previously it took a lot of man hours to fix the racks. We now have automation [there]."
Grant said that moving to virtualisation was a steep learning curve for him and the 150 staff in the university's IT service department, which meant that staff training was "prevalent" to enable them to overcome the hurdle.

Los Angeles Weighs Cash Incentive in Bid to Boost Voter Turnout
Low Participation Prompts Consideration of 'Lottery-Type Structure'
Near-perfect weather and an abundance of "I voted" stickers haven't been enough to lure Los Angeles residents to the polls. Now some city officials are floating another idea: cash.
In a bid to boost turnout, Los Angeles's Ethics Commission has voted to recommend that the city consider offering cash, which might include a prize as high as $50,000, after fewer than a quarter of registered voters showed up for recent municipal elections....

Windows XP Recovery Console Access Denied
Recently a Dell computer running Windows XP Home Edition was dropped off at our computer shop to be repaired. The computer would not boot because it appeared that numerous Windows system files were corrupted. After some initial troubleshooting I booted to the Windows Recovery Console in an attempt to copy backups of the system files to the active locations however when I attempted to issue the copy commands from the Recovery Console I received an error of "Access Denied". This problem can likely be fixed by running chkdsk as shown below.

With @andersoncooper in New Orleans, LA "keeping them honest" it appears as though nobody is at the wheel at CNN.com. CNN recently started including ads on their world famous, PageRank 10 homepage but, all seems to have run amok. I wonder what Anderson or Ford Motor Company for that matter, would say about fully clickable sidebars, possible cloaking and hidden links? I'd suggest avoiding all three...
|CNN ad with fully clickable sidebars
Fully clickable sidebars like CNN's help artificially inflate ad revenues and other metrics by increasing the number of accidental clicks.
|CNN ad as seen by users
As you can see there is a large Ford ad covering most of the page.
|Google's cache of CNN homepage shows no ad.
As you can see there is no Ford ad.
According to Google, cloaking is "serving different content to search engines than to users." Other sites serve ads in similar ways so, it will be interesting to see what if anything happens in this case.
UPDATE: Since my post CNN has fixed their site, removed the fully clickable sidebars and resolved possible cloaking issues or at least for now. That is what I call keeping them honest!

Andy Rooney, whose CBS career spans the entire post-war history of network news, died Friday as a result of complications following minor surgery, the network announced.
A mainstay of Sunday night viewing for millions of Americans, the 92-year-old Rooney only stepped down from his regular commentary post on "60 Minutes" last month.
Here's the release from CBS News:
Andy Rooney, the 60 MINUTES commentator known to generations for his wry, humorous and contentious television essays – a unique genre he is credited with inventing – died last night (4) in the hospital in New York City of complications following minor surgery. He was 92 and had homes in New York City, Rensselaerville, N.Y. and Rowayton, Conn.
Rooney had announced a few weeks ago in his 1097th essay for 60 MINUTES on Oct. 2 that he would no longer appear regularly on the broadcast.
"Words cannot adequately express Andy's contribution to the world of journalism and the impact he made--as a colleague and friend--upon everyone at CBS," said Leslie Moonves, president and CEO of CBS Corporation. "His wry wit, his unique ability to capture the essence of any issue, and his larger-than-life personality made him an icon, not only within the industry but among readers and viewers around the globe. Andy was not just a member of the CBS family; he was a member of the world's family. We treasure the legacy he has left, and his presence will be sorely missed by those of us at CBS and by his fans around the world."
"It's a sad day at 60 MINUTES and for everybody here at CBS News. It's hard to imagine not having Andy around. He loved his life and he lived it on his own terms. We will miss him very much," said Jeff Fager, chairman of CBS News and the executive producer of 60 MINUTES.
Rooney wrote for television since its birth, spending nearly 60 years at CBS, 30 of them behind the camera as a writer and producer, first for entertainment and then news programming, before becoming a household name – a role he said he was never comfortable in. He preferred to be known as a writer and was the author of best-selling books and a national newspaper column, in addition to his 60 MINUTES essays.
But it is his television role as the inquisitive and cranky commentator on 60 MINUTES that made him a cultural icon. For 33 years, Rooney had the last word on the most watched television program in history. Ratings for the broadcast rose steadily over its time period, peaking at a few minutes before the end of the hour, precisely when he delivered his essays, which could generate thousands of response letters.
Each Sunday, Rooney delivered one of his 60 MINUTES essays from behind a desk that he, an expert woodworker, hewed himself. The topics ranged from the contents of that desk's drawer to whether God existed. He often weighed in on major news topics, sometimes seriously and often humorously. In an early 60 MINUTES essay that won him the third of his four Emmy Awards, he reacted to the grain embargo against the Soviet Union by suggesting the U.S. sell them cereal instead. "Are they going to take us seriously as an enemy if they think we eat Cap'n Crunch for breakfast?"
Mainly, his essays struck a cord in viewers by pointing out life's unspoken truths or more often complaining about its subtle lies, earning him the "curmudgeon" status he wore like a uniform. "I obviously have a knack for getting on paper what a lot of people have thought and didn't realize they thought," Rooney told the Associated Press in 1998. In typical themes, Rooney questioned labels on packages, products that didn't seem to work and curious human behavior, such as why people don't talk in elevators.
Rooney asked thousands of questions in his essays over the years, none, however, began with "Did you ever…?", a phrase often associated with him. Comedian Joe Piscopo used it in a 1981 impersonation of him on "Saturday Night Live" and, from then on, it was erroneously linked to Rooney.
Rooney was also mistakenly connected to racism when a politically charged essay highly insensitive to minorities was written in his style and passed off as his on the internet in 2003. Over the next few years, it found its way into the e-mail boxes of untold thousands, causing Rooney to refute it in a 2005 60 MINUTES essay, and again, as it continued to proliferate, in a Associated Press article a year later.
Many assumed he wrote the screed because Rooney's longtime habit of writing or speaking plainly on sensitive topics had often left him open to attacks by activist groups. The racist essay was one of the many false Rooney quotes and essays bouncing around the internet. The racism charge angered and hurt Rooney deeply. He hated racism: As a young soldier in the early 1940s, he had himself arrested in Florida by refusing to leave the seat he had chosen among blacks in the back of an Army bus.
At the height of the AIDS crisis, Rooney had his biggest run-in with a group and it had dire consequences. In February 1990, the gay magazine The Advocate interviewed him after he associated the human choices of drugs, tobacco and gay sex with death in a CBS News special, "A Year With Andy Rooney: 1989." The magazine printed racist remarks attributed to him from the interview, which he vehemently denied making. A torrent of negative publicity followed, after which then-CBS News President David Burke suspended him for three months. The outcry for his return was deafening. Burke reinstated him after only three weeks, saying Rooney was not a man "who holds prejudice in his heart and mind." The ratings for 60 MINUTES, CBS' only top-10 hit that season, dropped while Rooney was off the air.
But the negative publicity and suspension exacted a toll. Rooney said publicly he was "chilled" and admitted the new sensitivity led him to spike a later essay regarding the United Negro College Fund.
Rooney still spoke his mind, however. Thousands of angry letters arrived when he said Kurt Cobain, the young star of hit rock band "Nirvana," was essentially a waste of humanity for taking his own life. Native Americans demanded apologies when he belittled their efforts to stop sports teams from using names like "Braves" in 1995 and again in 1997, when he suggested Indian casino profits be used to support poor tribes. He reacted to the acquittal of O.J. Simpson in 1995 by offering a $1 million reward for information leading to the real killer – a reward he said he would never have to pay because Simpson committed the murders. His essay in 2004, in which he said God told him that the Rev. Pat Robertson and Mel Gibson were "whackos," resulted in 20,000 complaints – the most response any 60 MINUTES issue ever drew.
No group was off limits for Rooney, especially CBS management and his own colleagues. Rooney poked fun at the 60 MINUTES correspondents on a regular basis in his essays, while he questioned CBS management on issues, such as layoffs and strikes, sometimes in his 60 MINUTES essays, but more often in his syndicated newspaper column for Tribune Media Services or in media interviews. During a Writers Guild of America strike against CBS, Rooney, though not in the union, supported it by not writing any 60 MINUTES pieces until the strike was settled. He publicly blamed CBS's troubles of the early 1990s on Chairman Laurence Tisch's cutbacks, daring Tisch to fire him.
Rooney was very popular with the public but drew criticism from the media for his controversial views and for the seemingly effortless style and content of his 60 MINUTES essays. He once took advantage of his popularity to get back at a critic. When Associated Press television critic Frazier Moore wrote that Rooney should quit because his material was getting old, Rooney took Moore to task by broadcasting the newswire's New York phone number, exhorting his 60 MINUTES viewers to tell the writer what they thought of his opinion. The Associated Press logged over 7,000 calls in 48 hours, the vast majority in favor of Rooney.
He rarely attacked his critics publicly, in fact, he sometimes embraced them. On many occasions, he read on the air their most cutting letters, sometimes admitting he was wrong and apologizing. The Cobain and the O.J. Simpson incidents were both essays he regretted writing and he said so on air.
Andrew Aitken Rooney was born January 14, 1919 in Albany, N.Y. He was graduated from Albany Academy High School and attended Colgate University, writing for both of the schools' newspapers. He was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1941, his junior year at Colgate. After brief service in an artillery unit in England, he became a correspondent for The Stars and Stripes for three years. Rooney was one of six correspondents to fly with the Army's Eighth Air Force on the second American bombing raid over Germany – a risky mission the enemy fully expected. He then covered the Allied invasion of Europe and, after the surrender of Germany, filed reports from the Far East.
He was awarded the Bronze Star for his reporting under fire at the battle of Saint Lo.
Rooney wrote about his war experiences in his first three books, the second of which, The Story of the Stars and Stripes, was bought by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer for movie rights. Despite going to Hollywood and writing a film script, Rooney's script was never produced, but the sizable sum he earned enabled him to write as a freelancer for several years after the war.
He was hired by CBS in 1949 after a bold encounter in the elevator with Arthur Godfrey. Rooney told the biggest radio star of the day he could use some better writing. His nerve moved Godfrey to hire him for "Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts," which moved to television and became a top-ten hit that was number one in 1952. He also wrote for Godfrey's other primetime program, "Arthur Godfrey and His Friends," and the star's daily morning show. He became Godfrey's only writer in 1953, before quitting the lucrative work in 1955, because he felt he could be doing something more important. But after a period of freelance writing, with a wife and four children to support, he returned to television writing on CBS' "The Morning News with Will Rogers, Jr." The best thing that happened to Rooney on the short-lived program was meeting and befriending CBS News Correspondent Harry Reasoner, with whom he collaborated later to great success.
He also wrote for "The Garry Moore Show" (1959-'65), helping it to achieve hit status as a top-20 program. Such regularly featured talents as Victor Borge, Bob and Ray and Perry Como spoke the words written by Rooney during this period. At the same time, he wrote for CBS News public affairs broadcasts, including "The Twentieth Century," "News of America" and "Adventure," and he wrote freelance articles for the biggest magazines of the day, including Life, Look, Esquire and Cosmopolitan.
By the mid-1960s, Rooney's name was a familiar credit at the end of CBS News programs. "The most felicitous nonfiction writer in television" is how Time magazine described Rooney in 1969, by then a winner of the Writers Guild Award for Best Script of the Year six times.
Rooney had convinced CBS News he could write for television on any subject when he wrote his first television essay in 1964, an original genre he is credited with developing. Proving his point, he picked doors as the subject and Reasoner as the voice for "An Essay on Doors." The team – Rooney writing and producing and Reasoner narrating -- went on to create such critically acclaimed specials as "An Essay on Bridges" (1965), "An Essay on Hotels" (1966), "An Essay on Women" (1967), "An Essay on Chairs" (1968) and "The Strange Case of the English Language" (1968).
Rooney also wrote and produced many news documentaries, including the most comprehensive television treatment of Frank Sinatra, "Frank Sinatra: Living With the Legend," with Walter Cronkite in 1965. Rooney had met Cronkite in World War II and they had remained close friends for the rest of their lives. He wrote two CBS News specials for the series "Of Black America" in 1968, one of which, "Black History: Lost, Stolen or Strayed," won him his first Emmy and the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award's First Prize for Television.
Rooney also produced for Reasoner at 60 MINUTES during the broadcast's first few seasons and made his on-screen "debut." He and the broadcast's senior producer, Palmer Williams, appeared in silhouette as "Ipso and Facto" in a short-lived opinion segment called "Digressions." Then, after Reasoner left for ABC in 1970, Rooney also left the Network briefly. Having trouble getting his material on the air, he purchased his "An Essay on War" from CBS and took it to public television to be broadcast on "Great American Dream Machine." The 1971 program was Rooney's first appearance as himself on television and won him his third Writers Guild Award. He wrote and produced more essays for the program, appearing in those as well.
He returned to CBS in 1973 after a short stint with Reasoner at ABC News and then wrote, produced and narrated a series of broadcasts for CBS News on various aspects of American life between 1975 and 1989. These included "Mr. Rooney Goes to Washington," for which he won a Peabody Award, "Andy Rooney Takes Off," "Mr. Rooney Goes to Work" and "Mr. Rooney Goes to Dinner." He also appeared several times in 1977 and 1978 on 60 MINUTES doing segments that included "Super Salesman," a look at the relationship between the Colonial Penn Life Insurance Company, the National Retired Teachers Association and the American Association of Retired Persons, in which he suggested the AARP was created as a vehicle to sell insurance to the elderly.
Rooney then was given the job as summer replacement for the Shana Alexander and James J. Kilpatrick "Point/Counterpoint" 60 MINUTES segment. In this first essay, "Three Minutes or so with Andy Rooney," on July 2, 1978, he attacked the dark tradition of tallying the highway deaths during the holiday weekend. In the fall, "A Few Minutes with Andy Rooney" became a regular segment, alternating with Alexander and Kilpatrick. The following season (1979-'80), Rooney had the end of the broadcast to himself, holding forth in front of an audience approaching 40 million – the number-one television program in America.
The National Society of Newspaper Columnists recognized Rooney's rich body of work with its Ernie Pyle Lifetime Achievement Award in June 2003. Rooney was a friend of Pyle, the famous World War II correspondent felled by a sniper, whom he met while covering the war for The Stars and Stripes. The Overseas Press Club honored Rooney with its President's Award in April 2010 for his war reporting.
Rooney was a rabid New York Giants football fan whose 50-plus years of season tickets began in a seat behind a pole at the Polo Grounds. Attending such public events was often problematic for the recognizable Rooney, who didn't sign autographs because he thought it a silly endeavor linked to his television fame. Always proud of his writing, he would gladly sign one of his 16 books – provided it was sent to him with a stamped and addressed return envelope. In addition to The Story of the Stars and Stripes, Rooney wrote: Air Gunner; Conquerors' Peace; The Fortunes of War; A Few Minutes with Andy Rooney; And More by Andy Rooney; Pieces of My Mind; Word for Word; Not That You Asked...; Sweet and Sour; My War; Sincerely, Andy Rooney; Common Nonsense; Years of Minutes; Out of My Mind and Andy Rooney: 60 Years of Wisdom and Wit.
Rooney resided in Manhattan; he also kept a family vacation home in Rensselaerville, N.Y and the first home he ever purchased, in Rowayton, Conn.. He was pre-deceased by his wife of 62 years, Marguerite (nee Howard), in 2004. He is survived by his four children Ellen, a photographer, Brian, the longtime ABC News correspondent, Emily, the original host of "Greater Boston," a local public affairs television program on PBS, and Martha Fishel, chief of the Public Services division of the U.S. National Library of Medicine; five grandchildren and two great grandchildren. He was pre-deceased by his sister, Nancy.
Funeral services will be private; a memorial service will be announced at a future date.
Following are statements from Andy's colleagues at 60 MINUTES:
Morley Safer
Underneath that gruff exterior, was a prickly interior…and deeper down was a sweet and gentle man, a patriot with a love of all things American, like good bourbon and a delicious hatred for prejudice and hypocrisy.
Scott Pelley
"The Romans had Cicero. The English had Dickens. America had Andy. He hid a philosopher's genius behind the honest prose of Everyman. Apparently, God needed a writer."
Steve Kroft
Andy always said he wanted to work until the day he died and he managed to do it, save the past few weeks in the hospital. What a life: ninety- two years of doing what you love to do while engaging and entertaining millions and millions of people.
He played an invaluable role in the success of 60 MINUTES over the years, providing a much anticipated final course at the end of what was usually a good meal. Sometimes Andy offered up a confection, sometimes it was a shot of Irish whiskey, but was it was always delivered with a twinkle in the eye. I think its' fair to say that he was the most popular person ever to appear on 60 MINUTES, and I'm sure Andy would agree with that assessment.
Lesley Stahl
Andy Rooney was our poet laureate. He was the Oracle of West 57th St., an everyman if everyman wrote like a dream. He was the most popular member of our team, loved by the audience, and far more loved by all of us than he knew. On his 80th birthday, when some of us spoke of him with affection, his eyes watered up with surprise. He will be missed and mourned.
Bob Simon
Wherever I went in America, whenever anyone suspected I worked for 60 MINUTES, their first question would be: "How's Andy?" I'd reply: "He's fine. How would you expect him to be?" Or something curmudgeonly like that: something which wouldn't make Andy wince too much.
It is not difficult to tell stories which make viewers angry or sad. But to make them laugh? That's an art form. Andy did it better than anyone on television without ever telling a joke.
For me, his finest moment was his last appearance on 60 MINUTES. He said: "I'm not retiring. Writers don't retire and I'll always be a writer."
Susan Bieber
A few words could not adequately express my sadness on Andy's passing. I had the honor to be his producer for 16 great years. Andy always said that he was just an average guy, however we knew better.

Re: Cursor blink in ViEmu 2.5.13 for VS 2010
I asked about this way back in July, and in principle, ViEmu was supposed to honour the system cursor blink setting. Unfortunately, that doesn't appear to be the case on my machine.
I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate (6.1.7600) and VS 2010 (10.0.30319.1 RTM). I've configured the OS to set the cursor blink rate to 0. When ViEmu is disabled, the standard Visual Studio cursor doesn't blink. But when ViEmu is enabled, the block cursor ViEmu renders does.
Is this just a bug, or is there a setting somewhere I can tweak?

An isapnp bus can be configured for each supported ISA bus. OpenBSD provides machine-independent bus support and drivers for ISA Plug-and-Play (isapnp) autoconfiguration of PnP-compatible devices on an ISA bus.
OpenBSD includes machine-independent ISAPNP drivers, sorted by function and driver name:
aha(4) Adaptec AHA-154x SCSI controller card. aic(4) Adaptec AHA-1520B SCSI controller card. wdc(4) IDE controllers (typically found on sound cards).

The isapnp driver appeared in NetBSD 1.3.
From time to time an isapnp device will be found which the kernel does not recognize. The kernel matches isapnp devices to device drivers based on identifiers which each device provides. For example, this device: joy0 at isapnp0 <Creative SB16 PnP, CTL7001, PNPB02F, Game> port 0x200/8 This joystick calls itself by the two names "CTL7001" and "PNPB02F". The latter is a standard name (which the kernel automatically recognizes), but "CTL7001" is a vendor-specific name which needs to be added to a table. Unfortunately, some devices advertise only their vendor-specific name; for instance: isapnp0: <PnP Sound Chip, @P@1001, , > port 0x200/8 not configured Testing will show that this device is actually a joystick. To resolve the issue, the actual name "@P@1001" has to be entered into the database found in /sys/dev/isa/pnpdevs and a new kernel must be built. Then the device will probe like this: joy0 at isapnp0 <PnP Sound Chip, @P@1001, , > port 0x200/8 MirOS BSD #10-current July 12, 1998 1

The San Francisco 49ers had an interesting backup plan in place if Greg Roman wound up leaving to coach another team.
CSN Bay Area reported Wednesday that if the offensive coordinator bolted to become a head coach, Eric Mangini was in the discussion to become the club's quarterbacks coach, according to sources.
The former head coach of the New York Jets and Cleveland Browns served as a senior offensive consultant this season, feeding ideas to Roman and Geep Chryst, the current quarterbacks aide who, in this scenario, would have shifted into the coordinator slot.
It's unique because Mangini cut his teeth in New England as a defensive-minded assistant who ultimately served as the Patriots coordinator in 2005 before leaving to take the Jets gig the following season.
It suggests that Mangini, angling to recreate himself on the other side of the ball, has gained trust in San Francisco. He's a long shot to receive another head-coaching job, but his work with the 49ers hasn't gone unnoticed. San Francisco houses one of the most respected collection of tutors in all the land.
The latest "Around The League Podcast" looked at weaknesses for the two Super Bowl teams.

Manukura Little White Kiwi
A New Zealand must-do: see Manukura, the Little White Kiwi at Pukaha Mount Bruce National Wildlife Centre.
1 / 3
Pukaha Mount Bruce has always been a popular destination for nature lovers. Now since the arrival of three little white kiwi, it's positively booming.
Lured by the chance to see New Zealand's only white kiwi in captivity, I head to the Pukaha Mount Bruce National Wildlife Centre which straddles the bush clad covered hills nestled between the Wairarapa and Tararua regions, just 20 minutes north of Masterton on State Highway 2..
It's a place where you can experience endangered wildlife up close and in the wild and see what is being done to save kiwi, tuatara, kokako, kaka and return them to our forest.
Even though I've been before, this time was all about seeing Manukura, one of three white kiwi successfully hatched at Mount Bruce. Manukura is now resident in the nocturnal Kiwi House while her sibling Mauriora was released into the 942-hectare reserve north of Masterton in 2013 and Mapuna is currently in a pre-release enclosure. The trio are not albino but the rare progeny of kiwi that were transferred to Pukaha from Hauturu/Little Barrier Island in May 2010.
Manukura, who as a chick captured the world's media attention with her fluffy white feathers and curious nature, is now a large bird with a plume of white feathers that create a halo affect. I understand then and there why the local iwi Rangitane o Wairarapa saw the white chick as a 'tohu' or 'sign' of new beginnings.
She stands out in the darkened Kiwi House and is very active throughout her night time (our day). She seems comfortable and relaxed – oblivious to the dozens of visitors, which take time to sneak a peak as they walk past the window.
Seeing Manukura is surprisingly, a poignant experience. While her fragility is evident I am left confident she and her siblings will thrive at Pukaha. The centre is constantly regenerating the forest with endangered New Zealand birdlife including Kokako, North Island Kaka and Kiwi as well as other native birds including Tui, Kereru and Rifleman. It seems they are returning birdsong back to the bush.
- Manukura is resident in the nocturnal Kiwi House.

- Brown Kiwi chicks hatched in captivity can be seen in the kiwi nursery during the breeding season Sept – April.

About Franklin H. Williams
A Man of Vision and Purpose
The Franklin H. Williams Judicial Commission is named in honor of the distinguished attorney and civil rights leader, Franklin H. Williams. In 1988, Chief Judge Sol Wachtler appointed Mr. Williams chair of the New York State Judicial Commission on Minorities responsible for conducting extensive research on the perception and treatment of minorities in the court system.
A Native New Yorker, Mr. Williams received his law degree from Fordham University in 1945. He served as an assistant counsel to Thurgood Marshall, special counsel to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People ("N.A.A.C.P.") From 1950 to 1959, Mr. Williams was the Director of the west coast N.A.A.C.P and was credited with major inroads in the civil rights movement involving cases on school desegregation and restrictive covenants.
Mr. Williams was also instrumental in the development of the Peace Corps and eventually became the Peace Corps Regional Director for Africa. The Peace Corps currently honors his memory with the Franklin H. Williams Awards given thus far to over 90 outstanding returned Peace Corps Volunteers.
Franklin H. Williams went on to serve as the United
States Ambassador to Ghana.
we look to the new century, creation of an atmosphere
without even the appearance of racial bias must be
the prime objective of our courts…we should
not open the wound unless we are prepared to heal
— Franklin H. Williams
