Richard Cumberland (February 19, 1732 — May 7, 1811) was an English dramatist and civil servant.
He was born in the master's lodge of Trinity College, Cambridge, the great-grandson of the bishop of Peterborough; his father, Dr Denison Cumberland, became successively Bishop of Clonfert and Bishop of Kilmore. His mother was Joanna, youngest daughter of the great scholar Richard Bentley and the heroine of John Byrom's popular eclogue, Cohn and Phoebe. Bentley's grandson later collected all the pamphlets bearing on the Letters of Phalaris controversy, and defended the reputation of his ancestor in his Letter to Bishop Robert Lowth. His youngest sister was poet Mary Alcock. Cumberland was educated at the grammar school at Bury St Edmunds, and he relates how, when the head-master Arthur Kinsman told Bentley he would make his grandson as good a scholar as the grandfather himself, Bentley retorted: "Pshaw, Arthur, how can that be, when I have forgot more than thou ever knewest?" Bentley died during his grandson's schooldays; and in 1744 the boy was moved to Westminster School, then at the height of its reputation under Dr Nicholls. Among his schoolfellows were Warren Hastings, George Colman (the elder), Charles Churchill and William Cowper. At the age of fourteen, Cumberland went to Trinity College, Cambridge, where in 1750 he took his degree as tenth wrangler. His account of his degree examination, as well as that for a fellowship at his college, part of which he underwent in the "judges' chamber," where he was born, is curious; he was by virtue of an alteration in the statutes elected to his fellowship in the second year of his degree.
Meanwhile his work as a classical scholar had been interspersed with attempts at imitating Edmund Spenser, and a dramatic effort modeled after William Mason's Elfrida, called Caractacus. He had just begun to read for his fellowship when the Earl of Halifax offered him the post of private secretary, first lord of trade and plantations in the Duke of Newcastle's ministry. His family persuaded him to accept, and he returned to the post after his election as fellow. It left him plenty of time for literary pursuits, which included a poem in blank verse about India. He resigned his fellowship when he married his cousin Elizabeth Ridge in 1759, to whom he had paid his addresses on receiving through Lord Halifax "a small establishment as crown-agent for Nova Scotia." In 1761 he accompanied his patron (who had been appointed lord-lieutenant) to Ireland as Ulster secretary; and in acknowledgment of his services was offered a baronetcy, which he declined. When in 1762 Halifax became secretary of state, Cumberland in vain applied for the post of under-secretary, but could only obtain the clerkship of reports at the Board of Trade under Lord Hillsborough.
When Lord George Germaine (Sackville) in 1775 acceded to office, Cumberland was appointed secretary to the Board of Trade and Plantations, a post he held till Edmund Burke's economical reform abolished it in 1782. In 1780, he had been sent on a confidential mission to Spain to negotiate a separate peace treaty; but though he was well received by King Charles III of Spain and his minister José Moñino y Redondo, conde de Floridablanca, the question of Gibraltar proved a stumbling-block. He was recalled in 1781, and was refused repayment of the expenses he had incurred, towards which only £1000 had been advanced. He thus found himself £4500 out-of-pocket: in vain, he says, "I wearied the door of Lord North till his very servants drove me from it"; his memo remained unread or unnoticed either by the prime minister or by secretary Robinson, through whom the original promise had been made. Soon after this experience he lost his office, and had to retire on a compensation allowance of less than half-pay. He took up residence at Tunbridge Wells; but during his last years he mostly lived in London, where he died. He was buried in Westminster Abbey, a short oration being pronounced by his friend Dean Vincent.
Cumberland's wrote much over the course of his long life, but is likely to be remembered only for his plays and perhaps his memoirs. The collection of essays and other pieces entitled The Observer (1785), afterwards republished with a translation of The Clouds, found a place among The British Essayists. For the accounts— given in The Observer of the Greek writers, especially the comic poets, Cumberland availed himself of Bentley's manuscripts and annotated books in his possession; his translations from Greek fragments, which are not inelegant but lack closeness, are republished in James Bailey's Comicorum Graecorum (part i., 1840) and Hermesianactis, Archibochi, et Pratinae fragmenta. Cumberland further produced Anecdotes of Eminent Painters in Spain (1782 and 1787); a Catalogue of the King of Spain's Paintings (1787); two novels—Arundel (1789), a story in letters, and Henry (1795), a "diluted comedy" on the construction and polishing of which he seems to have expended great care; a religious epic, Calvary, or the Death of Christ (1792); his last publication was a poem entitled Retrospection.
He is also said have joined Sir James Bland Burges in an epic, the Exodiad (1807), and in a novel, John de Lancaster. Besides these he wrote the Letter to the Bishop of Oxford in vindication of Bentley (1767); another to the Bishop of Llandaff (Richard Watson) on his proposal for equalizing the revenues of the Established Church (1783); a Character of the late Lord Sackville (1785), whom in his Memoirs he vindicates from the stigma of cowardice; and an anonymous pamphlet, Curtius rescued from the Gulf, against the redoubtable Dr Parr. He was also the author of a version of fifty of the Psalms of David; of a tract on the evidences of Christianity; and of other religious exercises in prose and verse, the former including "as many sermons as would make a large volume, some of which have been delivered from the pulpits." Lastly, he edited a short-lived critical journal called The London Review (1809), intended to be a rival to the Quarterly, with signed articles.
Cumberland wrote his Memoirs in 1804-5; they were published in 1806, with a supplement added in 1807. They include a long account of his Spanish mission and some interesting reminiscences of several persons of note— especially Bubb Dodington, Single-Speech Hamilton, and Lord George Sackville among politicians, and of Garrick, Samuel Foote and Oliver Goldsmith, though the accuracy of some of the anecdotes is disputed. The book exhibits its author as an amiable egotist, careful of his own reputation, given to prolixity and undistinguished by wit, but a good observer of men and manners. The uneasy self-absorption which Sheridan immortalized in the character of Sir Fretful Plagiary in The Critic is apparent enough in this autobiography, but presents itself there in no offensive form. The incidental criticisms of actors have been justly praised.
Cumberland was hardly warranted in the conjecture that no English author had yet equalled his list of dramas in point of number; but his plays, published and unpublished, have been computed to amount to fifty-four. About 35 of these are regular plays, to which have been added four operas and a farce; about half are comedies. His favorite mode was the "sentimental comedy," which combines domestic plots, rhetorical enforcement of moral precepts, and comic humor. These plays are primarily, to borrow Cumberland's own phraseology, "attempts upon the heart." He takes great credit to himself for weaving his plays out of "homely stuff, right British drugget," and for eschewing "the vile Gallic stage"; on the other hand, he borrowed from the sentimental fiction of his own country, including Samuel Richardson, Henry Fielding and Laurence Sterne.
His favorite theme is virtue in distress or danger, but assured of its reward in the fifth act; his most constant characters are men of feeling and young ladies who are either prudes or coquettes. Cumberland's comic talents lay in the invention of comic characters taken from the "outskirts of the empire," and intended to vindicate the good elements of the Scots, Irish, and colonials from English prejudice. The plays are highly patriotic and adhere to conventional morality. If Cumberland's dialogue lacks brilliance and his characters reality, the construction of the plots is generally skilful, due to Cumberland's insight into the secrets of theatrical effect. Though Cumberland's sentimentality is often wearisome, his morality is generally sound; that if he was without the genius requisite for elevating the national drama, he did his best to keep it pure and sweet; and that if he borrowed much, he borrowed only the best aspects of other dramatists' work.
His first play was a tragedy, The Banishment of Cicero, published in 1761 after David Garrick rejected it; this was followed in 1765 by a musical drama, The Summer's Tale, subsequently compressed into an afterpiece Amelia (1768). Cumberland first essayed sentimental comedy in The Brothers (1769). This play is inspired by Henry Fielding's Tom Jones; its comic characters are the jolly old tar Captain Ironsides, and the henpecked husband Sir Benjamin Dove, whose progress to self-assertion is genuinely comic. Horace Walpole said, that it acted well, but read ill, though he could distinguish in it "strokes of Mr Bentley."
The epilogue paid a compliment to Garrick, who helped the production of Cumberland's second comedy The West-Indian (1771). Its hero, who probably owes much to the suggestion of Garrick, is a young scapegrace fresh from the tropics, "with rum and sugar enough belonging to him to make all the water in the Thames into punch,"—a libertine with generous instincts, which prevail in the end. This early example of the modern drama was favorably received; Boden translated it into German, and Goethe acted in it at the Weimar court. The Fashionable Lover (1772) is a sentimental comedy, as is The Choleric Man (1774), founded on the Adelphi of Terence.
Among his later comedies were:
The other works printed during his lifetime include:
His posthumously printed plays (published in 2 vols. in 1813) include:
Cumberland translated Aristophanes' Clouds (1798), and adapted William Shakespeare's Timon of Athens (1771) and Philip Massinger's The Bondman and The Duke of Milan (both 1779).
Cumberland published his memoirs in 1806-07. His novel Henry was printed in Ballantyne's Novelists' Library (1821), with a preface by Sir Walter Scott. A Critical Examination of Cumberland's works and a memoir of the author based on his autobiography, with the addition of some more or less feeble criticisms, by William Madford, appeared in 1812. An excellent account of Cumberland is included in "George Paston's" Little Memoirs of the Eighteenth Century (1901). Hermann Theodor Hettner well characterizes Cumberland's position in the history of the English drama in Litteraturgesch. d. 18. Jahrhunderts (2nd ed., 1865), i. 520. Cumberland's portrait by George Romney (whose talent he was one of the first to encourage) is in the National Portrait Gallery.

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama says House Republicans are trying to pass the most extreme and unworkable version of an immigration bill even though they know the bill isn't going anywhere.
Republicans are pushing legislation that could clear the way for eventual deportation of more than 500,000 immigrants brought here illegally as kids and address the surge of immigrants at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Obama says Republicans know that legislation won't succeed in the Senate. He says Republicans aren't even trying to solve the problem. He says they're just trying check a box before leaving town for the annual August recess.
Obama says he will have to act alone to address the crisis because the government is running out of money to deal with it.

Poetic Justice
So let's look at US Cellular and see what has happened in the last few years. I believe in 2010 the politically correct Carlson family, who owns TDS which owns US Cellular, hired a woman with no experience in wireless to run their cellular business. She had a lot of experience doing commercials for another politically correct corporation-McDonald's and all their "urban/hip hop" geared commercials. That was all she needed to get hired. So she created some gimmicks like the Belief Project with points, one and done contracts, battery swap, online pay discount, etc. Now they have taken those selling points away from customers in a "bait and switch" type deal. Customers are very angry as a result. She also fired the engineering techs and now their cell service sucks for lack of a better word. Moreover, she implemented a billing system disaster and then got out of Dodge before all the repercussions happened. She went to greener pastures and said see ya to US Cellular. Now the company is struggling to survive day by day thanks to her. I guess that's poetic justice. The Carlson's first priority in hiring their CEO was political correctness. It didn't matter if she had no experience, the fact that she was a woman was all that mattered. I would like to ask them if it was all worth it? I'm sure they would still say yes. In fact, I'd bet they'd say "I'm lovin it"

Triple Pundit almost always brings a smile to my face, and for that reason is one of my favorite blogs by far. The group blog highlights the three "p's" of sustainable business -- people, planet, and profits -- and highlights a steady stream of optimism-inducing stories about both creative startups and long-established corporations doing well by doing good.

Pardon me for talking about IBM yet again, but the company continues to impress me with its ability to ride the green wave with intelligent and high-potential offerings. The latest example is last week's announcement of a new Sustainable Procurement consulting offer.

Tom Schueneman of the indispensable TriplePundit blog on corporate social responsibility has a great review today of AT&T's holistic approach to sustainability. The lede is the phone giant's new $500 million commitment to put 15,000 alternative fuel vehicles on the road in the next decade. It's a great example of how big companies can aim to do good and do well at the same time. The program should save the company money in the long run while winning useful public plaudits, and, as important, make a real impact in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, provide clean energy jobs, and support the expansion of the alternative fuel infrastructure.
The clean car initiative represents a big splash in sustainability, but it also reflects a much broader and more comprehensive approach at AT&T. Schueneman's interview with Beth Shiroshi, AT&T's assistant vice president for Citizenship and Corporate Responsibility, tells the larger story, and it provides some useful lessons for any company looking to strengthen its sustainability approach:

Business software giant SAP launched an online collaboration site last week to promote dialogue with stakeholders on a range of social, economic, and environmental concerns. The site sits on SAP's new collaboration workspace platform, which enables registered users to post content, communicate with SAP officials and each other, and set up public and private workspaces.
To get the dialogue going, SAP's vice president of corporate citizenship, James Farrar, has launched a new blog, a stakeholder survey, and, most important, the company's first global report on sustainability.
It's a great idea, and it plays directly to the mission-oriented marketing I wrote about with IBM recently. As noted by Sustainable Life Media, it follows similar efforts by companies including Cadbury and IKEA Canada.
SAP has a good story to tell on sustainability, and the report does a nice job of telling it. Befitting the company's role as a leading software provider, the report has a dual focus, covering both SAP's internal responsibilities to operate in a sound, ethical, and environmentally responsible manner, and external opportunities and obligations to provide solutions that help clients operate in a similar fashion.

I ordered some fatwood kindling for my wood stove last night from Plow & Hearth, and wanted to pass along a nice touch from the end of the transaction.
With my purchase, the company commits to planting several trees as part of its Campaign to Reforest America, in partnership with the National Forest Foundation. It's a good cause, and pretty easy and relatively inexpensive to do. Lots of companies do similar things; the rest probably should.
But the execution is actually what made me pause: A nice separate email (in addition to my purchase confirmation), a simple vote so I could pick which of three national forests to support, and links to additional information about the campaign, the partnership, the specific forests, and the issues at stake. It was nothing earth-shattering, but a good reminder that a few extra touches can go a long way toward making your customers feel better about you.
Supporting the environment is good; doing it with engaging and educational content is even better.

Many discussions about the business value of corporate social responsibility and "going green" highlight benefits such as brand distinction, customer loyalty, and employee morale -- and, increasingly, potential cost savings. A new white paper from Deloitte adds deal value in mergers and acquisitions to the list.
According to the authors, "companies that have strong corporate responsibility and sustainability (CR&S) programs in place are likely to be rewarded for their efforts. Those that don't have such programs can expect to face increasing regulatory and marketplace demands for change."
The trend is driven by increasingly tight environmental regulations as well as broader trends toward greater transparency and accountability around potential social and financial risk. Energy companies are obviously front and center here, but the trend affects many industries, according to Deloitte, including manufacturing, transportation, and retail.
Looking ahead, the Deloitte authors provide several useful suggestions for executives looking to buy or sell:

Sam Palmisano, IBM's CEO, went to the Council on Foreign Relations this morning to lay out an ambitious program of technology-driven social change and economic recovery. IBM's "Smarter Planet" initiative is a seriously big idea; in Palmisano's words, it's about "infusing intelligence into the way the world literally works—the systems and processes that enable physical goods to be developed, manufactured, bought and sold… services to be delivered… everything from people and money to oil, water and electrons to move… and billions of people to work and live."
Practically speaking, this means investing heavily in technology-based systems and processes to address fundamental global challenges such as energy waste, transportation gridlock, supply chain inefficiency, water shortages, antiquated health care systems, and, perhaps most urgent right now, unmonitored and out of control financial markets.
The initiative is of course self-serving. The more governments invest in technology-based solutions, the more industry leaders like IBM stand to gain. But self-serving doesn't mean it's wrong. In fact, I'd like to suggest that this is actually the best kind of marketing, and the kind that we need to be emphasizing right now:
My main point here is not to praise IBM, although obviously I do think the effort is praiseworthy. IBM is far from a perfect company and other firms are doing similarly valuable work in these areas. Rather, it's to raise the question about how we go to market in this difficult time.
Most of the marketers I talk to these days are shortening their time horizons, shifting resources (to the extent they still have them) toward lead generation, and doing whatever possible to accelerate immediate sales. This is understandable, and yet...
We've just completed a remarkable election in the US in which a majority of Americans chose a candidate who stared calmly at enormous problems facing our country and the world and said now is the time to think big, to set our sights high, and to be the change. Self-serving? Of course. But it also excited and inspired and mobilized millions of people previously too cynical or disengaged to actually believe that getting involved could make a difference.
Marketing candidates is clearly different than marketing business services and solutions. But exciting and inspiring cynical and disengaged people is actually a pretty good description of the challenge we business marketers are facing right now too.
Palmisano summed it up nicely this morning: "Over the next couple of years, there will be winners, and there will be losers. And though it may not be easy to see now, I believe we will see new leaders emerge who win not by surviving the storm, but by changing the game."

Forty of the Fortune 50 companies now showcase reports on their sustainability performance, but many focus more on promoting their green credentials than on providing real accountability to the public, according to a new study by the PR measurement firm KDPaine & Partners. You can download the full report here (PDF).
The good news is that most of the largest companies have begun to take seriously the need to report on their own environmental impact, and most of them present information on their environmental goals and policies, energy consumption, waste disposal and recycling, and air emissions. Most also highlight the environmental awards they have won. The numbers are up significantly from even a few years ago.
On the other hand, far fewer of the companies provide real context for their reporting to help readers understand how well the companies are actually doing, and only a minority involve third party stakeholders in the reporting process, which would tend to add credibility to their efforts. As the study authors noted, "environmental sustainability reporting is still being used as a public relations tool to position companies favorably on environmental issues, rather than to hold companies accountable to stakeholders for environmental performance."
For those interested in improving their own environmental reporting, the report provides a useful Environmental Reporting Transparency Scorecard which outlines a wide array of factors used in ranking the Fortune 50. (Many more useful resources are available from the Global Reporting Initiative, the leading international network for corporate sustainability reporting.)

A proven track record is one of the first things that business buyers look at when considering potential providers of high value services and solutions. Where have you done this before? Hence the importance of providing credible references, case studies, and testimonials.
All well and good, but how do you get those first clients before you even have a track record? At IBM, one of the most effective answers has been to use yourself. The IT giant's new Green Sigma consulting offer is a great example.
Like many IT services providers, IBM is preaching the virtues of green computing, and now wants to help clients reduce both costs and environmental impact by applying Lean Six Sigma principals to energy and water usage throughout their operations. It's a timely offer, and made credible at least in part by IBM's internal track record saving energy and cutting costs through the approach -- some $310 million in energy costs saved since 1990 with a corresponding reduction of more than three million metric tons of CO2, according to company calculations.
In a world of skeptical buyers, practicing what you preach is table stakes. Practicing it first to work out the kinks, and then beginning to preach (with all the appropriate Web 2.0, conversational approaches, of course), is the better way to go.

Panetta: Educating children of military members is a matter of national securityJune 29, 2012
The education of military members' children isn't just important for their own well-being. It is also a matter of "national security" because it is crucial to attracting and retaining an all-volunteer force, according to Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, who spoke Wednesday at the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center.
"The bottom line is that our military is better able to defend the country when we address the long-term educational needs of their children," Panetta said in an opening speech at the two-day national conference of the Military Child Education Coalition.

Well ladies and gentlemen, it seems as if I have solved my pede problems ( knock on wood ). I installed a MM2 with a 2650k motor today. Had to move things around. ( I can show pics if interested ). But it's installed and it's vicious. Before I ran it, I put a cage on. Man ol man, that cage is a must if you are running any Castle Creations ESC/motors. My Pede will flip at full punch at 45 mph. It's sick fast and extremely powerful.
Enough of that for now. I DO have a question.. On the esc there is a red/black wire... what is that for? also, my fan does not turn on, is that because the esc is not hot?
here is a pic.

AT&T reconsiders, will offer $200 Samsung Galaxy S4 too
AT&T was one of the first carriers to announce the Samsung Galaxy S4 availability at the Unpacked event day. A few days ago the carrier also revealed the official pricing and the date when the pre-order campaign kicks off.
As it turns out the previously announced $250 price with a two-year contract applies for the 32GB Galaxy S4 model, while the most common 16GB version will go for $200. This is the final AT&T pricing.
The pre-orders start right on schedule from April 16, but there is still no official info when the Galaxy S4 will actually hit AT&T's network.
We want to remind you the Samsung Galaxy S4 for the entire USA will ship with the Snapdragon 600 chipset. If you want the one powered by the Exynos Octa platform, you'll probably have to go the SIM-free route.

The Wes Anderson-Bill Murray Connection
Monday, March 3, 2014 | 1 year ago
Bill Murray first appeared in a Wes Anderson picture in 1998's Rushmore and since then, he's had a role in every one of the Texan's movies. The Grand Budapest Hotel -- in theaters March 7 -- marks Murray's seventh appearance in an Anderson film. (Bottle Rocket, Anderson's first feature, is his only film not to feature Murray.) To commemorate the occasion, we have compiled images and descriptions of Murray's roles throughout the Anderson canon, from the brief cameos (The Darjeeling Limited) to the inspired leading performances (The Life Acquatic with Steve Zissou). The slideshow presents the roles chronologically, which allows for some fun temporal tracking of Murray's facial hair. Words by Danny King.

Kenwood Vineyards Description
In a grove of Redwood trees up against a hillside sits an old 1906-era barn that houses the tasting room of Kenwood Vineyards. The attractive, rustic wood-sided structure is attached to the winery building as well as to their underground cellars. Its large sliding barn-type doors lead you into a very friendly and relaxed space to taste the winery's offerings.
The old barn has stories to tell, as does the seasoned tasting-room staff. (Ask if you can look behind the big doors in the back of the barn to spy on the dozens of 3,000 gallon French oak Demptos barrels.) The winery has over 125 stainless-steel fermenting and upright oak tanks and 14,000 French and American oak barrels used to craft wines.
The winery makes classic California varietal wines including Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Zinfandel, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, Gewürztraminer and Merlot. The winery uses its own estate grapes as well as sourcing fruit from other nearby areas, including the Russian River Valley and nearby Glen Ellen.
Kenwood has a reputation for making fruit-forward wines that offer consistent quality and value. Using the "cuvée" winemaking method, the harvest from each vineyard is handled separately, then blended together to create the final product. They also produce a Single Vineyard Series of wines including their flagship, Jack London Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. Also, check out their Artist Series of labels and their ever-consistent Sauvignon Blanc.

Gangling Israeli-based goalkeeper, Austin Ejide, will step out of the shadows of his national teammate, Vincent Enyeama, on Wednesday night in Miami, United States, when he leads the team out as skipper in the international friendly against Venezuela at the Marlins Stadium in the American city.
Head Coach Stephen Keshi said after critical consideration, he has decided to hand Ejide the armband for the match.
Indeed, Ejide first joined the national team from Gabros of Nnewi, in the run-up to the Korea-Japan 2002 World Cup, alongside Enyeama and the likes of Justice Christopher.
The Eagles number one jersey has since been alternated between the duo, with Enyeama having the lion's share, but Wednesday's game will be another opportunity for Ejide to lay claim to the Eagles number one shirt.
In the meantime, Newcastle United of England's longest serving player, Shola Ameobi, has said he was simply delighted to be part of the Nigerian set up for the first time and hopes it turns out well on Wednesday (Thursday morning in Nigeria).
Ameobi spoke after dinner on Monday night on arrival from England.
"Its good to be here and I will learn to speak Pidgin English as the players have directed," he joked after his former teammate at the Toons', Obafemi Martins challenged him to start speaking in Pidgin English, which Keshi has adopted as the official language each time the team is in camp.
Also in ecstasy over his call up is Bright Dike of MLS side Portland Timbers in the United States, who was the last to join camp.
Dike said at breakfast on Tuesday morning that it was a dream come true for him to be part of the Nigerian set up, as Assistant Coach, Sylvanus Okpala tried to size up his ability to speak the Ibo language.
"I understand it but don't speak fluently, it will get better now that I will start coming to Nigeria," he said amidst smiles.
Obafemi Martins, who is styled the Weapon of Mass Destruction, has vowed to get a shirt with his performance on the pitch on Wednesday and in subsequent camping of the team.
"My return is for real and Nigerians will see," he said.
Indeed, Martins looked the sharpest among attackers in camp as he banged in goal after goal in Monday evening training.
The game will be played at the Marlins Stadium in Miami 8pm Miami time and 2am Thursday Nigerian time.

Feedly Disappoints: 'Over Capacity' for the Second Day
July 11, 2013 | 3:15 pm
By Joanna Cabot
The bloom is officially off the Feedly rose for me: I woke up this morning to a second day of "over capacity" error messages when I tried to access my feeds. I couldn't get in to anything!
And I still can't.
I did yesterday's Morning Roundup by manually typing the URLs of my regular blogs to see what was happening, but it wasn't the same: there was no list of as-year-unread stories, no way to mark off the ones I'd already seen, and of course I couldn't remember every blog I visit, off-hand.
I guess my first task when Feedly is eventually back will be to export my feed list out somehow, so that if there are further outages, I can at least read my stuff…
This VentureBeat article suggests that the problem is a code change Google made just before the shutdown, and says it has submitted an as-yet-unposted fix to Apple. Android users are allegedly still OK to access it. But when I'm working, I use the Web version of Feedly, and I'm getting the error message there, too.
Here's hoping Feedly gets this fixed super-fast. Frankly, I'm surprised at how crippled I feel without my feeds—I use them for so many things and I really am hampered by not being able to access them. I hadn't considered methods for backing them up; I will now.
But first, Feedly has to fix the problem so I can get back in.
Morning Links: Comixology Subscription Plan? New Movie Anti-Piracy Ads Aimed at Moviegoers
What Indie Authors Can Learn from Big Retail
Morning Links: B&N Revenues Down. Hoopla Adds Digital Comics
Morning Links: No Curfew For Adult eBooks. Cord Cutting On the Rise
Another 'Permission Culture' Landmine
Maybe I'm just lucky. Been using Feedly since Google Reader shut down and have not had one iota of problems. Using the website & Android apps.
Glad to have it as I use it constantly as a journalist (I'm sure much the way you do)
if you were using an iOS app – go grab the update – it was fixed as of this morning.
I experienced that problem yesterday evening. I saved a feed on my desktop, went over to a friend's house, then got the "over capacity" message when I tried to pull up the feed from my phone. However, this morning both the desktop and mobile versions worked flawlessly for me. It was an annoying outage, but not a deal-breaker for me.
I've seen a few of the capacity messages myself. I'm right with you – it can be frustrating when you are accustomed to getting your news fast and easy!
But Feedly serves me well – better than Google did. They have quickly added features and it remains simple to use. Despite the rapid expansion and frequent changes, they've (so far) demonstrated an ability to deliver a great product, with very few major issues. It's fun to use.
Another positive sign is that they very quickly implemented the plug-in-less web version, and provided feed exports. They have saved me a lot of trouble by making the transition easy, so I'm quite pleased at this point.
It's working on my phone, but the web version is not working on my computer, and that's where I need it. I contacted them via Twitter and was told to 'update' my 'extension' and then go directly to cloud.feedly.com. Well, I don't have an extension—I never did, I just accessed it via the website. And I did a search on the Safari extension page just to see and they don't have a Feedly plug-in. I'm not sure what they expect me to do. Still waiting for a reply to the last message I sent them. I am super-frustrated though. I do work on my computer—I need it there!
I got that message last week and another message kept popping up asking me to go to the cloud or some such thing. I didn't want to click on it but after two days gave up and clicked and immediately got to my feeds even though the big "over capacity" message had popped up for two days and right before I clicked on the other message.

Women's Swimming Breaks Three School Records on Day One of ACCs
Feb. 20, 2013
GREENSBORO, N.C. - The NC State women's swimming team started the 2013 ACC Championships in grand style, breaking the school records in the 200-medley relay and 800 freestyle relay on Wednesday at the Greensboro Aquatic Center. The Wolfpack finished third in both events and is currently tied for third place in the team standings with 64 points, after the first day of competition.
"Awesome start for the Wolfpack women," said head coach Braden Holloway. "It was a very electric and exciting night. The women raced hard and got our program off to a good start."
Hannah Freyman, Lauren Poli, Zina Grogg and Riki Bonnema finished with a time of 1:38.52 in the 200-medley relay, breaking the previous school record (1:41.12). The time was also good for an NCAA B standard, narrowly missing an NCAA A standard (1:38.42).
"The 200-medley relay really set the tone for us tonight," said Holloway, "After finishing seventh last year, the ladies stepped up and had an amazing race to finish third and break the school record by more than two seconds."
In the 800 freestyle relay, Marifrances Henley, Julianna Prim, Mariah Hamil and Kristin Connors teamed up to stop the clock at 7:11.99, hitting a NCAA B Standard. Henley, a senior from Memphis, Tenn., broke her own school record in the 200 freestyle with her leadoff split time of 1:46.74, topping her previous mark of 1:47.00.
"It was great to see two school records broken in the 800 freestyle relay," Holloway added. "The girls shaved another three seconds off the previous record of 7:14.79. The ladies have worked hard this year and we look forward to building off of a great start."
ACC Championship action will resume on Thursday, Feb. 21, with preliminary heats beginning at 11 a.m., followed by finals starting at 5 p.m. in the Greensboro Aquatic Center. A free web stream of the 7 p.m. finals session will be available on the ACC Digital Network.

IBM's Market Insights study on Mid Market Dynamics indicates that the North American IT Market shows strong growth. The expected 2013 IT mid market size is at $94 Billion growing @ 4% p.a., the study predicts the growth story to continue through 2016 at 6% p.a. with market size at $111 Billion.
According to U.S. Census data, middle market companies take in more than $6 trillion in revenues and employs more than 30 million people annually. The middle market executives who led these companies are expressing renewed optimism in their business prospects compared to a year ago (based on study by CIT: 'Voice of the Middle Market').
Here's a perspective on three key metrics (market drivers, market overview and Channel Trends) that presents unprecedented opportunities in the emerging mid market growth.
IT Market Drivers: The key IT spending drivers as we see it hinges around the economy and adoption of newer technologies like Cloud.
The economy is clearly on the rebound with unemployment, housing, retail sales, improving. The Mid market has bounced back from recession but is still conservative on IT spending. Cloud adoption is the biggest disruption as we see mid market move faster towards adoption of these scalable and utility value technologies.
IT Market Overview:
- Hardware is 10% of the market and forecast to grow 4.5% from 2013 – 2014
- Software is 17% of the market growing at 4.2%
- Services is 73% of the market and growing at 4.1%
- Solution Spend is 77% of the total IT market and growing at 3.2%
- Five Industries (Industrial, Wholesale, Banking, CSI & Retail) account for about half of Mid Market IT spend
- Health Provider, Life Sciences, Telecom and Utilities will grow the fastest in 2013 for total market and mid Market
Channel Trends: The large IT product vendors have started to derive more than half of their revenue through indirect channels. We are also seeing a trend of Hardware Commoditization driving down margins and motivating business partners to shift mix to higher margin software and services with a focus on consultative industry selling.
The implications of these limits are that customers will look to business partners to give integrated services for solutions. Business Partners will also have to differentiate themselves on investment, education and enabling solution areas like Cloud.
The opportunities that these throw up are self-evident. We see an opportunity for every business partner to leverage market shifts and emerging trends to displace incumbents. For the agile business partners there is opportunity to exploit on competitors missteps As with any IT Product Vendor, there is opportunity for Business Partners to sell the totality of offerings by the Product Vendor (e.g. Oracle EBS, JD Edwards with full suite Fusion applications), by delivering integrated Industry Specific Solution.

Isaac Backus (1724 – 1806) was a Baptist preacher and a delegate to the First Continental Congress. Born in the village of Yantic, near the town of Norwich, Connecticut, Backus was influenced by the Great Awakening and the works of Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield. For five years, he was a member of a Separatist Congregationalist church. In 1746, he became a preacher. He was ordained in 1748. Backus became a Baptist in 1751 when he became pastor of the Middleborough Baptist Church in Middleborough, Massachusetts. In 1774 Backus served as a delegate from Middleborough to the Massachusetts convention. The convention ratified the United States Constitution in 1788.
Considered a leading orator of the "pulpit of the American Revolution," Backus published a sermon in 1773 that articulated his desire for religious liberty and a separation of church and state. Called An Appeal to the Public for Religious Liberty, Against the Oppressions of the Present Day, in it Backus stated: "Now who can hear Christ declare, that his kingdom is, not of this world, and yet believe that this blending of church and state together can be pleasing to him?"
Backus also helped found the United States' first Baptist school of higher learning, Rhode Island College (subsequently Brown University).

Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. This sponsored post is produced by Fiksu. Ad tracking and measurement rank among the chief worries of app marketers right now. In the Mobile Marketing Association's July Survey, 48 percent of app marketers said this was their No. 1 concern. Ad targeting and optimization technologies on mobile are more complex and less sophisticated than what's available online – but no less critical to successful marketing. Detailed insight into how your app marketing ads are performing is crucial to delivering the price and performance results that you demand. Fortunately there are some key steps you can take to address the tracking and optimization challenges. Here are five key lessons mobile app marketers should keep in mind. 1. Understand all the mobile ad tracking technologies that are available. Unlike the online world where cookie-based tacking is the industry standard and works consistently across the ecosystem, mobile uses a range of different tracking technologies that are inconsistent and vary by ad network and platform. The primary types of ad tracking technologies available today are: UDID Apple Advertising Identifier MAC Address ODIN Digital Fingerprinting HTML5 Cookie Tracking Android Referrer The main lesson here is that no one tracking technology gives you access to all the available advertising inventory, so app marketers looking for a wide reach typically use multiple technologies. For a deep dive into the advantages and disadvantages of these technologies download Fiksu's eBook on Ad Tracking. 2. Get granular. In order to be successful, ad tracking must be as granular and detailed as possible. You need to know the relative performance of different creatives, networks, countries, and devices, just to name a few factors. With that information, you can eliminate the ads that aren't performing, stop spending with networks that don't produce quality users, and focus on countries where you see the best results. 3. Optimize beyond the download with proper tracking of in app events. It's crucial to track app usage past installation in order to determine which sources are providing your most loyal users. Most tracking technologies only account for downloads rather than opens, in app purchases, or registrations – the actions that actually generate revenue. 4. Stop guessing. There are too many variables that go into an ideal advertising campaign to arrive at the best combination by trial and error or guesswork. Deciding where to spend your marketing dollars without the right information and analysis can mean expensive mistakes and missed opportunities. Employ the proper technologies to eliminate the guesswork and put your marketing dollars to work for you. 5. Don't settle. Since most tracking technologies only provide raw data, manual optimization can be extremely time consuming for the advertiser. With limited time and resources, many app marketers end up settling for the information and results they have time for. However there are technologies available that translate this raw data into optimized results. Learn about these technologies and how they provide immediate and continuous optimization in Fiksu's eBooks on these subjects. With the right technologies and partners in place, mobile advertising can be very effective, manageable and measurable. So don't let the challenges keep you away from this exciting and fast-growing marketing channel.

The song tells of disappointment, as the lyrics, "Don't know why there's no sun up in the sky" show someone pining for her man to return. The weather is a metaphor for the feelings of the singer; "stormy weather since my man and I ain't together, keeps raining all the time."
Ethel Waters recording of the song in 1933 was inducted in the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2003, and the Library of Congress honored the song by adding it to the National Recording Registry in 2004.

Before you read this, I want everyone to know I have been reading man md5sum
and info md5sum. This stuff is confusing. Here's what I've found:
1) If I type "md5sum sarge-i386-netinst.iso | mdsum -c", I get this nice
message: "sarge-i386-netinst.iso: OK"
2) If I type "md5sum -c sarge-i386-netinst.iso", a bunch of stuff flys across
the screen ending with this not nice message: "md5sum: WARNING: 906 of 906
listed files could not be read"
3) If I type "md5sum -c sarge-i386-netinst.iso | more", I appear to get the
same type of information flying across the screen as in (2); things like
files can't be opened or read or found, but at the end there is no final
message about 906 of 906 files not being read.
4) Peter's great command, mount -o loop sarge-i386-netinst.iso /mnt, leads to
this titillating file in sarge-i386-netinst.iso, "md5sum.txt." The file
md5sum.txt lists hundreds and hundreds of files. I guess what I'm supposed
to do is compare the file list in md5sum.txt to the output of some md5sum
command. I suppose I could print md5sum.txt out and compare it to some list
of files that the command md5sum gives me. But so far md5sum has not given
me a list like that found in md5sum.txt. So far md5sum has given me the
three outputs listed in (1), (2), and (3) above. A fourth output, from
"md5sum sarge-i386-netinst.iso" gives me a long code followed by the name of
the iso file.
Can anyone suggest what I should do next?
Thank you.

I personally have been pretty happy with Fedora Core 1. Over the
weekend, though, I acquired SuSe Professional 9.1, and will probably
replace my RC1 box with that.

Pinarello FPQuattro Sram Force/Rival Road Bike
The Pinarello FPQuattro is derived directly from the PARIS frame using the same geometries and asymmetric tubes. New for 2012, the Onda FPK1 fork features 1 1/8' - 1 1/2' coning on the fork crown for even greater rigidity and safety. THe FPQuattro uses the new iCR internal cable routing system developed by Pinarello LAB and features asymmetric rear stays, and our tried-and-tested Most(R) Croxover oversized bottom bracket.
The FPQuattro Asymmetric is the impressive sister of PARIS 50.1.5. The FPQUATTRO project further defines Pinarello's strategy to adopt asymmetry across its entire collection. FPQuattro derives directly from the DOGMA frame but uses the ultra-reliable, proven 30HM12K carbon of the FP3 and many other Pinarello models. Designed with the Pinarello LAB's SOE System (Simulation, Optimize, Evolution), it's an exceptional evolution of the FP3 in an asymmetric version to exploit the new technology successfully introduced by DOGMA. FPQuattro has the new Onda FPK1 fork as fifitted on the PARIS, with 1 1/8' to 1 1/4' tapering on the steering column.
The FPQuattro frame is monocoque with Onda FPK1 monostay, asymmetric rear stays, and the tried and true Most Croxover oversize bottom bracket. In the size 54 it weighs only 1100 grams. With special attention given to the colour scheme, with 6 brand new hand-painted colours, and exclusive MOst components.

Police investigate apparent homicide in SW Houston
By Mike Glenn | December 20, 2013 | Updated: December 20, 2013 10:29pm
Police investigated a suspected homicide inside a home in southwest Houston Friday night.
Homicide detectives were called to the small brick home in the 5700 block of Vendi about 7 p.m. A body, believed to be that of a woman, could be seen on the floor. Neighbors said a man who apparently lives there was later taken away by Houston police officers.
Detectives and crime scene specialists were still at the scene late Friday. Further details were not immediately available.

If this is the method of using dd to pull ~500 bytes from the lilo
modified mbr+ and then storing it in a file on the root of the C: drive of
the machine that has W2k, it has some limitations:
(Don't get me wrong, I have used this system and found it to be useful
in a few places.)
1) If your Win 2K system has a C: drive that is on NTFS, then though there
is an ntfs module for use with accessing NTFS based filesystems, it is
experimental. Reads work just fine, but write can cause problems
especially if the file being written is of a different length than the one
that was previously there. (This info may be old.) If you do not use the
dd system and actually move the kernel to the window root disk, then
different kernels are almost always different sizes. :-/ dd of the mbr+
can lead to files that are the same length, but you can still have
problems getting the file "there". (the boot.ini thingy and mbr.lnx file
is what I write about here.)
2) Recompiling a new kernel and/or modification of the lilo.conf settings
leads to a need to reissue this process, or (as I did for one case) modify
the real name of lilo.conf and basicly create a wrapper to automate the
process of moving the necessary boot information for LILO/Linux to the
windows side for each issuance of the lilo command.
I have found the LILO system for managing Windows 2K Advanced Server
Edition (which has destroyed LILO/Linux MBR info unlike the Windows 2K
Professional edition that seems to be nicer to the MBR) and Windows ME on
the same box as Debian Linux. (3 OS that may boot from the same box - all
managed by LILO.) LILO has been the easiest for long-term support on my
end but YMMV.
For LILO with WinME/W2K/Linux, the procedure is simple.
Use your Linux boot disk to make your needed partitions:
1 Primary partition for each Windows OS. (my case, 1 for Win2K and 1 for
WinME) (I set W2K parts to be NTFS and WinME to be FAT32 LBA)
1 Primary partition for my Linux "/" (root)
1 Partition converted to extended to include partitions for /var, /home,
/usr, /usr/local with another disk that exclusivly contained swap and /tmp
(Even if you wish to have 1 ext2 partition for linux you should re-think
this notion and at least add a separate partition for /var so logs dont
kill you, and also think twice about one for /home for easier migration to
a new Linux distro if you should ever have that desire. Don't make the
mistake of trying to be smart and make a separate partition for /etc since
/etc/fstab is needed for mounting the filesystems and will prob give you
lots of grief. ;-)
* Some older machines may have problems with LILO if they try to reference
a partition for "root" and booting if the partition is beyond the 1024th
cyl. Most newer machines do not have problems from my experience. If you
have a machine that has the limit with 1024 cyls for booting OS, just make
sure all of your booting OS have root filesystems *and* kernels within
the first 1024 cyls of the boot disk. (For linux, you can place /home and
other mounted volumes farther beyond the 1024 cyl boundary as the kernel
won't need to be so limited by the BIOS info.)
Next, boot from the Windows 2K CD (or by other means) and delete the
partition created for it within linux. Create a new partition over the
same space as the one deleted. (Why even create a partition in Linux if
you are just going to delete it in the W2K setup? With Windows NT, there
were problems with NTFS fs not stopping at the specified partition
boundaries, but windows would respect pre-existing boundaries of
partitions when creating its own partitions. I am not sure if this was
ever fixed in W2k. By allocating the space shared of time withing Linux,
there is much less risk of issues with partitions boundaries being
broken.) Then install Win2K as usual on that partition. If you plan to
install Windows ME on the same box, then you should make the filesystem
NTFS fr Win2K. If you do not, then Windows ME may try to install itself on
the C: drive and not let you choose an alternate. If this happens and the
WinME installer can see your C: drive as being available (with Win2K) it
may try to over-write some win2K files and cause problems. By making the
first drive NTFS, WinME will not see it as a possible C: drive but instead
will see the second partition (FAT32 LBA) as drive C:)
If you made partition 2 FAT32 with LBA, you can just boot from the
3.5" WinME floppy, and issue a format of drive C: then CD to the winme dir
on the CD and run SETUP.EXE and install it as usual. Both Windows feel
they are using the C: drive. Windows 2K can however see the Windows ME
C: drive will call it something else like D: or E: or whatever you assign
in the Disk Manager.
Now install Linux with the "/" (root) filesystem starting in the 3rd
As/after Linux is installed, allow it to install LILo over your MBR.
Now in the completed Linux install (maybe even after a reboot to make sure
LILO is really there and working) you can modify the /etc/lilo.conf
Scroll to the bottom of it and add entries like the following:
--- chop to append to /etc/lilo.conf ---
#This would boot Windows 2000 from partition 1 of a primary IDE Master
# disk if at the LILO prompt "w2k" was entered as the choice after
# pressing shit at the LILO prompt:
#This would boot Windows ME from partition 2 of a primary IDE Master
# disk if at the LILO prompt "wme" was entered as the choice after
# pressing shit at the LILO prompt:
--- end append ---
If you installed your windows 2K or ME onto a different disk, or partition
or /dev/sdX then you would of course include your /dev instead.
Hope this helps,
This seems like a FAQ to me. I wonder if anyone has written a how-to or
mini-howto on this. Anyone know of the most current repository on
this? Maybe I'll donate some time and update it if it does not include
such information.

Residents of Migron have signed an agreement with the Israeli government on relocating the illegal West Bank outpost.
The agreement signed Sunday will allow the outpost's approximately 50 families to move to a nearby hill over the next three years, meaning that they will not be evicted as ordered by Israel's Supreme Court. The current site will be turned over to the Civil Administration, which has agreed to consider public uses.
Migron, which is approximately 14 miles north of Jerusalem, had been slated under an Israeli Supreme Court order in 2011 to be razed by the end of this month. The state will ask the court to cancel its order.
In a statement, the residents said they signed the agreement "with a heavy heart, but out of responsibility to the nation in fulfillment of the High Court's order to vacate the current site, and out of a desire to avoid confrontations and difficult scenes."
"We do this even though we do not believe it is necessary, since Arab ownership of the current site has not been proven, and even though the residents of Migron were not given sufficient opportunity to prove their rights in civil court," the statement said.
Minister Benny Begin brokered the negotiations between the government and residents.
