From the Daily News:
Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver testified recently before state ethics commission investigators about his role in the Vito Lopez sexual harassment scandal, the Daily News has learned.
Silver was subpoenaed to discuss how he signed off on a $103,000 taxpayer-funded settlement with two former Lopez staffers who accused the Brooklyn Assemblyman of sexual harassment, a source close to the Speaker said.
A Silver spokesman refused to say whether the powerful Manhattan Democrat testified, saying only: "We're cooperating fully."
Silver is the highest ranking official to testify in the ongoing investigation, and one of at least seven people on the Assembly payroll to do so. Others include Silver's chief counsel Jim Yates and Assembly lawyer William Collins, both of whom spearheaded the secret settlement talks.
Officials in the offices of state Controller Thomas DiNapoli and Attorney General Eric Schneiderman reviewed versions of the settlement agreement, but the two principals are not believed to have testified before the commission, though some of their staffers have, sources said.
Silver has insisted he approved the confidential payout to protect the victims' privacy, and to save taxpayers from a potential $1.2 million lawsuit. Word of the settlement leaked after Silver announced in late August that he was stripping Lopez of his seniority and leadership positions after the Assembly Ethics Committee found to be credible allegations from two different Lopez staffers who said the lawmaker had sexually harassed them as well.
Silver now admits he should have notified the Assembly Ethics Committee of the two complaints that led to the hush-hush settlement. The Speaker also has said he expects the state ethics commission will ultimately knock his handling of the matter but not find that he committed criminal or ethical violations.

Nice try, Shelly. There is no excuse for the cover-up. The voting public deserves to know when their elected officials break the law, even if it means revealing the names of the victims. Even if there are settlements. This is Ethics 101, people!

All Programmers Are Self-Taught
When I was a teenager I played high caliber baseball. I'm competitive to a fault and when I decide I want to be good at something, results usually follow. Now I'm a third year undergrad studying computer science. There's something critically different between programming and sports though: A pitching coach teaches you how to pitch, but a CS professor doesn't teach you how to code.
I was surprised that neither my TAs nor professors critiqued my code during my first year, but grew concerned after my second year. The assignments were larger and the problems tougher, but even after submitting some 2,000 lines of code in my data structures class, I never once had a comment on my code — if my program compiled and my unit tests demonstrated correctness, that was enough. It wasn't until a small group project that I realized how ugly some code could really be, and I started asking questions about what good code really was.
But what is good code? I take a lot of time to make my code readable and self-documenting. I try to follow the UNIX philosophy on simplicity, that I should make my program work above all and only optimize if there's a need. I keep in mind asymptotic complexity. I avoid threads unless I really need them. But I honestly don't know if that's good code or not (honestly, I think I'm a bad programmer).
I'm lucky enough to have worked with some students I think are great programmers, people who have interned at Microsoft, Google, Amazon and the like. Their opinion is generally the same, that most of what they learn is from self-reflection or picking up on other programmer's habits. Even the ever-practical engineers share my sentiments. So here's my claim:
All programmers are self-taught.
My education is giving me awesome tools: data structures, algorithms, database design, concurrent programming, network programming, agile development and different programming paradigms. But these are all tools, and even though they translate to much more efficient and smarter programming, you can still use them wrong — I've seen horrible code come from students who do exceptionally well in these classes.
I don't think it matters if you study computer science, software engineering or get a college diploma, if you're going to write code for a living, you'd better be ready to teach yourself.

Jake Pavelka proposed to Vienna Girardi on Monday night's episode of "The Bachelor: On The Wings Of Love," and even though the episode was filmed several months ago, the reality star told Access Hollywood on Monday morning, he is still very, very much in love.
"The passion is just crazy," Jake told Access. "It's just fun. There's always puppy love in a new relationship and that's really where you build a lot of this – you solidify a lot of the next 60 years [of life together]…. I've never had puppy love like that. I mean, I just can't keep myself off of her."
And Vienna, who beat out 50 other women to snare the pilot's heart, said they plan to be together for a lifetime, even if she wasn't the AH Nation's favorite. Nearly 80% of the AH Nation wanted Jake to pick Tenley Molzahn.
"The Internet viewers aren't the ones that have to live with this decision," Vienna said. "Jake and I are extremely happy. We're in love and we're the ones spending the next 60 years together, not them."
The two revealed that they saw each other during the months leading up to the finale through a host of tricky techniques.
"Separate cars, different cities, stuff like that," Jake laughed.
"My dad moved my car around in the driveway so they didn't know if I was home or not," Vienna added.
The two are planning to get married, but not right away.
"We've talked about wedding details and we're thinking maybe a year or two. We want to have a normal relationship for a while, you know, have fun together," Vienna explained. "We want to travel and he's got 'Dancing with the Stars' coming up and we're moving to LA for a few months and then going back to Dallas… And I need plenty of time to plan a wedding."
As for "Dancing with the Stars," which will find Jake competing against Bengals' star Chad Ochocinco, former "Baywatch" babe Pamela Anderson and reality TV mom Kate Gosselin, the ex "Bachelor" is ready to take on the challenge.
"I'm not a professionally trained dancer. I've got some basic moves that I can do, but nothing impressive and I'm just going to pour everything I am into it to be the best dancer I can possibly be," he said.

The Mossberg Report
Computer, Search Thyself
The graphical user interface has been a success in the mass market since the Apple Macintosh debuted in 1984, and it has dominated computing since Microsoft Windows went mainstream around 1990.
Its visual display of files stored in a nested hierarchy of folders has worked pretty well — until recently.
In the past few years, computer hard disks have become huge, and average consumers have begun to accumulate thousands and thousands of files each year — far more than in the past. And that is making it much harder to find any particular bit of information buried in the old folder hierarchy.
Every time you plug a digital camera into a PC to transfer images, dozens or even hundreds of files can be added to your PC in one fell swoop. The same thing happens when you rip CDs or go on a photo downloading binge. Email is accumulating in staggering amounts, and just surfing the Web can add hundreds of files — silently cached copies of Web pages and images.
So the familiar file and folder system is buckling. Unless you're the rare person who is meticulously organized, who creates a perfect system of orderly folders and recognizable file names, locating information on your own computer can be harder than finding it on the Web. There have always been search tools built into the Apple and Microsoft operating systems, but they were terrible — slow and inaccurate, covering only some kinds of data, not all. So you had to rely on separate search systems built into individual programs, such as email software.
But now a wave of new desktop search tools is becoming available, some built right into new operating systems and others available as add-ons. Big names are getting in the game — Apple, Microsoft, Google and Yahoo. I've been testing the leading candidates and previewing some future contenders. So here's a rundown of the latest methods for finding all that lost or hidden information lurking on your hard disk.
Spotlight: This is the new universal, speedy search system built into Apple's latest operating system for the Macintosh, called Tiger. Because it is an integral part of the operating system, which handles all files, Spotlight knows about all the key kinds of information stored on the computer. It can rapidly find words or phrases deep inside emails, Microsoft Office files, address books and calendars, Adobe PDF files and more. It can even probe the "metadata" — descriptive information — attached to song and picture files.
Spotlight is always available on the Mac, no matter what program you are in. You just click on a blue magnifying-glass icon at the top right corner of the screen, and a search field appears. As you type each letter of your search term, Spotlight begins generating results in a list of files that drops down almost instantly, organized by type of file. If you click on "Show All," the list expands into a larger window where you can see more results, organized in almost any way you choose — by date, by person mentioned, by name or location on the computer.
On my Mac, I typed "Hawaii" into Spotlight and instantly got hundreds of hits. Every email mentioning the state came up, as did Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, the address entries of contacts who live there, calendar entries for my vacation in Honolulu and pictures of my trip. Spotlight even showed thumbnails of those pictures and, with one click, presented a slide show of the images. It also found the theme song from the old Hawaii Five-O television show in my music collection.
Because Spotlight is part of the operating system, it avoids one of the big flaws of add-on search systems — the need to periodically "index" new files in batches, a process that spins the hard drive continuously, sometimes for hours. Spotlight needs to do this only once, when you first install Tiger.
Longhorn: Microsoft plans to emulate Spotlight in the next version of Windows, code-named Longhorn. But it's way behind Apple. Longhorn won't reach consumers until the fall of 2006 at the earliest.
Based on previews of Longhorn I've seen, its planned built-in search system will also be fast and universal, and will avoid long indexing sessions. Microsoft also plans to allow more customization of searches, and many more instant previews of files, than Apple now provides. But these apparent advantages may evaporate.
By the time Longhorn arrives, Apple will likely have a second, even better, version of Spotlight.
Google: Until Longhorn arrives, Windows users must rely on add-on search software, and the best known is Google Desktop Search. It does the annoying indexing, but only when your machine is idle. Plus, it's fast and fairly comprehensive, including even the contents of cached Web sites.
But the familiar Google search results page, which works so well for the Web, is very limiting for a desktop search. And the software offers only a crude way to sort the results and no way to preview content.
Yahoo: The big online service bought a desktop search engine from a company called X1 and re-branded it. This is a robust product, which indexes and searches many kinds of files and previews most of them in a built-in window. You can also take direct action on e-mails that turn up in your search — for instance, you can launch a reply right from within the search results.
The main problem with Yahoo's offering, in addition to the fact that it isn't buried deep in the operating system, is that it betrays its techie heritage. X1 was originally built for techies and hard-core search fanatics. Although Yahoo has cleaned it up a bit, the many choices and settings in the user interface may be daunting to mainstream users. Also, it has much more of the feel of a separate, heavy-duty program than the Apple or Google products.
MSN: The desktop search add-on from MSN prefigures what Longhorn will do, and it's very good. Like Yahoo, it offers previews of most files right in its search results screen. And like Apple's Spotlight, it is fast and presents a clean, simple interface that begins generating results as you type your search terms.
The main downside to MSN's search is that in order to get it, you have to download and install a "toolbar suite" that lives in the Internet Explorer Web browser and adds a bunch of functionality that's unrelated to search, which you might neither want nor need. Also, by default, MSN's search product searches only your e-mail (which must be run by Microsoft products) and the My Documents folder. You have to tinker with settings to get it to search your whole computer, something all its competitors do by default. The limited search horizon cuts down on MSN's indexing time and makes it look faster than it really is, but it will likely cause you to get only partial search results.
There are some other good search products out there from smaller companies, notably one called Copernic, by Copernic Technologies, which has a loyal following of users. Whichever you choose, once you trust desktop search, you may never again find yourself creating a subfolder.

Hot Pots in Honolulu Restaurants
Hot Pots are Hot: What's trendy in Honolulu restaurants? A commonly found, Asian family meal with a thousand-year history. Here's why it seems so new.
(page 1 of 4)
Sweet Home Cafe, Hanaki Shabu Shabu, Hot Pot Heaven and Ichiriki Japanese Nabe Restaurant
How does a thousand-year-old dish suddenly become a Honolulu food trend? Hot pot is a style of food preparation that spans Asia: huō guō in China, shabu shabu in Japan, lāu in Vietnam. Hot pot was supposedly (but probably not actually) developed by Mongol warriors who cooked their food by boiling soup in their helmets.
It's a simple idea: Boil soup, dip other ingredients into it.
Why is there suddenly a hot-pot boom in Honolulu? I did some sleuthing and, as far as I can figure, here's Reason No. 1 for the boom: a woman named Susend Chang.
Sweet Home Café
2334 S. King St., 947-3707, Dinner nightly 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. Free parking in a crowded lot, major credit cards.
Susend Chang—her customers call her Susan—started Sweet Home Café in 2007, selling sandwiches. Because Chang's parents had a hot-pot restaurant in Taiwan for 30 years, she also sold individual hot pots.
In her second year, she realized her customers liked the hot pots better than sandwiches. She switched formats. All hot pots, all the time.
In her third year, she got a secret weapon. Her brother was chef Chih Chieh Chang, who had done marvels at Shanghai Bistro and Hong Kong Harbor View (black pepper shrimp steak on garlic fried rice!).
Chih Chieh originally thought hot pots were a bad idea—It's hot in Hawaii, who wants hot pots?—but when Hong Kong Harbor View closed, he went to work with his sister.
BOOM! Now all 48 seats were full all the time. Sweet Home's popularity led to long lines. And imitators. And the infamous 90-minute rule.
I had no idea of any of this when my friend Candice texted us on our way to the restaurant: "Come fast! The owner just lectured me that we have 90 minutes to eat starting from the time I sat down!"
We hurried.
Crowded into a corner table, I realized Reason No. 2 for the boom in hot-pot eateries: Although simple in concept, hot pot requires so much prep and specialized equipment that it's simpler, faster and probably cheaper to order it in a restaurant than make it.
You need broth. In Sweet Home's kitchen, Chih Chieh spends all day brewing up 14 different broths. That's why the restaurant can't open for lunch.
You can choose two broths for your table, in a divided pot. Our choices : a chicken-based, yellow-curry broth that made us hungry just smelling it, and the house seafood broth with ginger, cilantro, onion and peppers, a whiff of which reminded me how skilled Chih Chieh really is.
Second, you need meat, which first has to be frozen and run through a slicer. It arrives in curls: pink pork, heavily marbled beef, white meat chicken so thin it's nearly translucent.

Democrats know we can't just drill our way to lower gas prices or a quick-fix solution to our energy needs. That's why we are focused on developing all of America's natural resources—domestic oil, gas, wind, solar and biofuels—and encouraging fuel efficiency so that we can reduce our dependence on foreign oil over time.
Already, our President has led the way to:
- Domestic oil production at an eight-year high, and our dependence on foreign oil at a 16-year low. In 2011, we cut net oil and petroleum imports by 1 million barrels a day.
- Expanded domestic oil production by speeding up the leasing process and improving safety measures to prevent future spills.
- Nearly doubling renewable wind, solar and geothermal energy since 2008.
- Agreeing with automakers to nearly double fuel efficiency standards for cars and trucks. That will help to save families more than $8,000 per vehicle at the pump and decrease our oil consumption by an estimated 2.2 million barrels a day.

eat (away) at (someone or something)(redirected from eat away at them)
eat (away) at (someone or something)
1. To continually bother or worry someone. The precarious state of my finances has really begun to eat at me. I'm worried that your critical comments have begun to eat away at Tiffany—she seems very subdued these days.
2. To erode or wear something away. Don't use that harsh cleaner—it will eat away at a soft metal like this.
eat (away) at someone
Fig. [for a problem] to trouble someone constantly. The nasty situation at work began to eat away at me. Nagging worries ate at me day and night.
eat (away) at something
Fig. to erode something. The acid ate away at the metal floor. Fingers have a mild acid that eats at the metal of the door handle.
eat away at
Destroy gradually, erode; also, worry one constantly. For example, The sea has been eating away at the outer banks for years, or The fact that he failed the test is eating away at him. [Early 1800s]

XCOM: Enemy Unknown Mobile game is no 'lite' versionFiraxis Games
took one of its biggest recent releases to the small screen last week by making a full version of the triple-A title available on the iPad and iPhone. But this is no "lite" version or clunky mobile remake -- for its mobile debut, Firaxis has rebuilt the game from the ground up. The game is almost exactly like the full title that came out for consoles and PCs last fall, meaning it provides all the hours of deep game play and dramatic alien invasion action of the original title. And the title translates well to the touch platform, though getting the right camera angle or elevation can sometimes lead to unexpected results. Overall, the game is a smooth experience and a good representation of what more-serious mobile gaming can become. But there are caveats. The file itself is huge -- over 3 GB -- and can eat up a lot of your storage space. And the game's $20 price may be far too steep for those who don't yet see their iPad or iPhone as a primary gaming device."XCOM: Enemy Unknown"
on iOS is a good game and a hopeful step for gaming, but by no means an impulse app purchase. $20, for iOS devices. Applauze App tailors event lists Summer means long days and warm nights ripe for planning all sorts of activities. WithApplauze
, developers aimed to provide their users with a fairly complete list of events around them, tailored to their interests. The app is strong on picking good suggestions -- it can scan your music library, for example, to figure out what kind of music you may be into. And it also has an easy-to-use interface that lets you find events that are right for you, whether concerts, plays or sporting events. Users can buy straight from the app by entering their credit card and also invite other people to events with them. You can even chat easily with friends whom you're attending an event with, to facilitate coordination. The app could, however, use a few more features for sorting -- particularly by price -- to have it go above and beyond other event-suggestion apps out there. Free, for iOS devices.

Last week, I told you about the 21 Day Self-Discipline Challenge that I will be hosting with Laura and Erin, based on Crystal Paine's new ebook, 21 Days to a More Disciplined Life. Your assignment last week was to be thinking about why you want to do this challenge, what you hope to get out of it, your goals, etc. So, I thought I'd share a bit with you about my why.
You might remember a few weeks ago that I shared a letter to my 16-year-old self. As I was thinking about this letter, I realized I really didn't have anything good to say. Granted, I was at a low point in my struggle with depression, but the fact remains that I have done few positive things with my life since then. Unfortunately, there are few accomplishments between then and now, few things to be proud of. I mean, yes, I had 2 beautiful children…but let's just face it, nature kind of took its course there, and it had very little to do with me! Lol.
On top of this, I celebrated had my 30th birthday last week. Those two occurrences really led me to examine my life, and think about what I'd like to be able to say to myself in another ten years. When I look back at myself at 16, I'm filled with regret at so many things I've done (or not done) since then. I don't want to find myself at 40, once again, looking back with regret.
The beautiful thing is that I can change this. I really don't care about some huge success. I just want to be headed in the right direction for myself and what God has called me to. Enter, the 21 days to self-discipline challenge. I have always struggled with self-discipline (and patience and perseverance). And I think overcoming that struggle could be key to overcoming so many of the problems that I have with myself and where I'm at right now.
So, there you have it…my why. I would love to hear your thoughts on this challenge. Feel free to link up your 21 Day Self-Discipline Challenge post below.
NOTE: This link up is for the 21 Day Self-Discipline Challenge. If you are looking for Thriving Thursday, click here.
(Find details of the challenge here. Purchase the book here.):
A couple of you have asked some questions, so here is a quick FAQ:
What do I need to do to participate? All you have to do is get Crystal's book, 21 Days to a more disciplined Life. (I do recommend the book, but you can probably participate in the challenges even if you don't have the book, you'll just miss out on her awesome wisdom and inspiration.)
Do I have to have a blog to participate? Not at all. You can still participate in the daily challenges, and let us know how you're doing in the comments here, on facebook, or on twitter, using the hashtag #disciplined21.
What if I miss a day? Or What if I don't have time to participate in one of the days? Please don't give up! We are all likely to stumble sometimes, and sometimes life happens. One of the biggest tools of the enemy is to get us to stay down once we've messed up. Don't do that! If you mess up, get right back on track.
Any other questions? If you're wondering about something, more than likely someone else is too!

No All-Star selection won't bother Duncan
The NBA changed its All-Star ballot position designation this season, placing selected candidates only as frontcourt players or guards.
The change had been announced, but a few hours before, it came to be known as the Tim Duncan rule.
The Spurs and their captain famously objected in 2007 when Duncan's name appeared on the ballot as a center, rather than a forward. The team never had designated him as anything but a forward and didn't appreciate a panel of media experts decreeing he was really a center, even though he routinely defended centers once David Robinson retired after the 2002-03 season.
The league accommodated the protest, allowing all votes cast for Duncan to count at forward, and he made it into the starting lineup at that position.
But Duncan's streak of consecutive All-Star appearances ended last season when the fans picked young guns Kevin Durant and Blake Griffin as starters, and the Western Conference coaches opted not to add him as a reserve.
Then, Duncan discovered the joy of a long midseason weekend with his family.
"I enjoyed it tremendously," he said Monday morning from a courtside seat at the Toyota Center, where this season's All-Star Game will be played Feb. 17.
Duncan is in the midst of a resurgent campaign that had his coach campaigning a bit during the recent six-game Eastern Conference road swing for his inclusion on this season's Western Conference team.
Duncan, Gregg Popovich told media representatives from Boston to Orlando, should not have been excluded last season and is playing even better this season.
Duncan intends to put a halt to any and all future stops on Popovich's Tim-for-All-Star tour.
"I will not be campaigning," he said. "I haven't heard what Pop's been saying, but I guess I've got to talk to him.
"I wouldn't complain if I'm not on the (All-Star) roster. I want to play well and want to feel good about what I'm doing on the court, but I am not going to be unhappy if I don't make it."
A few hours later, Duncan would struggle for three quarters against the Rockets' young big men, Omer Asik and Greg Smith, missing 8 of 9 shots before dominating the post in the fourth quarter and overtime of another Spurs road win.
There was no intent to diminish All-Star talk, but being outscored 19-10 by Asik might tamp down some of the Duncan-deserves-the-All-Star-Game chatter.
Popovich can't help himself from talking about Duncan. With his team off to an 18-4 start, and Duncan putting up numbers not seen since the last time he was an All-Star starter, Popovich is asked repeatedly to explain how his 36-year-old captain has managed to roll back time.
Wouldn't Rockets coach Kevin McHale, a Hall of Fame power forward for the Celtics, also have some insights about how a 36-year-old adapts his game to age?
"I retired," McHale said, and indeed, his knees had betrayed him by the end of 13 seasons.
With flecks of gray at the corners of a chin beard he has been nurturing for more than a week, Duncan can't define the changes in his approach to the game that account for what he has done through the first quarter of the season.
"It's a continuation, more than anything," he said. "I haven't done anything specific. I understand my role a little bit more, and I work within those confines. I'm feeling healthy, so it's all working together."
Shouldn't a player determined to defy age do something about those gray hairs that curl through the edges of his beard?
"Everybody keeps telling me I need to color them or pluck them," he said. "But why? I don't care. They are what they are, and it is what it is, and I'll take it."

As I mentioned in a recent post, I've been visited by the eccentric Japanese guys driving the white Smart Car. They told me that they would like to play, and since they drove such a long way (across the Pacific apparently) I decided the least I could do was buy a Nintendo Wii. And play we did.
It's a little over a week later, they've finished off all of my Sake and have motored down the road, leaving me alone to contemplate my Wii. So now that the rice wine buzz is gone what do I think of it? Is it worth the price? Is it fun? And more importantly, is playing with your Wii exercise? Way back in April I blogged about people using it as fitness regime!
Well the verdict is in on the fun part. It is. I love being able to play tennis at night. I love playing baseball whenever the desire strikes without having to call up my busy middle-aged friends and finding a free baseball diamond. I love playing a quick three holes of golf at lunch without having to take the afternoon off. And that's all on the Wii Sports game the console comes with. There's a proliferation of games designed to work with the Wii's revolutionary new motion-sensitive controller design.
But is the time I spend fiddling with my Wii time wasted, or does it do more than provide me entertainment when I should be working or reviewing cigars? This question is a bit more difficult to answer. A week later, I think I've noticed an improvement in the way my clothes fit and increased energy, but my bathroom scale tells me nothing has changed. The words of the scale might be enough information for some, but I've long suspected my scale of being a malicious, pathological liar. So I've decided to back that suspicion with a bit of science and fitness geekery: I donned a heart rate monitor.
We're not talking about just any heart rate monitor here. This thing has been calibrated with my age, weight and gender. It can tell me exactly what my heart rate should be to achieve an optimal workout. It can tell me how may calories I burned, how long I worked out, and how long I achieved that optimal heart rate. And once it does all that, it'll tell me what my Body Mass Index (BMI) is and how horribly overweight I am. In short, I have the technology to prove my bathroom scale a liar and justify my hours spend playing to my wife.
Here's stats for an average session:
Playing Time: 35 minutes
Activities: Batting practice, Tennis, boxing practice
Target Heart Rate: 122 – 150 BPM
Heart Rate
Pre-Wii: 76 BPM
Average: 126 BPM
Highest: 158 BPM
Total Time in "The Zone": 19:54
Calories Burned: 491
Wow. It's hard to argue with the stats. With nearly 20 minutes spend in the optimal heart rate range and 491 calories burned, it's safe to say this qualifies as exercise. And my scale is a damn liar. I happen to know that at a brisk 3.2 MPH walk on a 5% grade only burns around 300 calories.
So it's exercise, but is it worth it? I already pay hefty HOA fees that include work out facilities. Is the additional money spent just redundant. Well, that all depends. Yes, it would appear redundant, but the truth of the matter is that I haven't been using those facilities. (Excluding the sauna!) My wife takes great pleasure in pointing this out. (I swore I'd us them because of the convenience!) I am using the Wii. So while I'm not exactly being responsible with my money, I am getting exercise I wasn't getting before. So I'm going to say yes, it is worth it. Especially if you pay the lower $250 price tag.

Flights slashed: CHO to LaGuardia about to get skimpier
If you live in Charlottesville but want to wake up in the city that doesn't sleep, you'll have a harder time doing it pretty soon. That's because this summer, the Charlottesville Albemarle Regional Airport is losing two of its three daily nonstop Charlottesville to LaGuardia flights.
"It's reduced to a single 50-seat jet," explains airport spokesperson Jason Burch, who says US Airways will cease its trio of round-trip flights on July 10 and Delta will begin a single flight on July 12, leaving one day– July 11– when flying to New York from Charlottesville won't be possible at all. The new Delta schedule has a plane leaving around 7am, Burch says, and returning to Charlottesville at 10:45pm.
The reduction in flights doesn't please Victor Schiller. A private investor who takes several flights to New York each year for meetings, he says he appreciates the multiple flight option. For instance, Charlottesville business travelers have been able to choose the 6am flight to arrive in the Big Apple in time for a 9am meeting, go at noon, or work nearly a full day in Charlottesville before catching the 4:45pm flight.
"It's always been okay to do business from Charlottesville if you were working in other cities," says Schiller, citing the recent addition of two nonstop flights between Charlottesville and Chicago as similarly helpful to business travelers.
"This," he says of the New York flight reduction, "is going to hurt us a little bit."
The local airport had no say in the the switch, says spokesperson Burch, who says the change resulted from Delta and USAirways trading dozens of take-off and landing privileges at Reagan National in D.C. and New York's LaGuardia. Burch says he feels disappointed that Delta didn't keep multiple CHO-to-LGA flights on the schedule, but relieved they at least kept one.
"It's not my favorite decision," says Burch, calling it a "subtle victory" because the Delta-USAirways deal cost some similar-sized communities all their direct flights to New York.
While the Delta jet is a comfort and speed upgrade from the 37-seat turboprop planes that have puttered businessfolk and Broadway fans north in under two hours (and Delta is retiring its entire fleet of Saab turboprops), Burch acknowledges it means a more than a 50 percent decrease in available seats– from 111 to 50.
That's not the only bad news. Schiller says that the cost of a ticket appears to have risen. He says he was accustomed to paying around $300 round-trip, but when he checked prices for later in the summer, he was quoted about double that.
The Airport's Burch says he's keeping a close eye on fares.
"It's always been one of our higher fares," says Burch. "Delta coming in with a jet, they're going to have to pay to keep that jet in service. It's hard."
For his next New York journey in August, Schiller says the change has him considering taking the train since Amtrak offers at least two daily trains from Charlottesville to New York's Penn Station at a round-trip cost of $199 if booked in advance. (The price jumps to $302 for last-minute ticket purchases.)
Another option for traveling to New York is the Starlight Express, the luxury bus service that delivers riders round-trip for $179. The service, launched in 2004 and purchased by A Goff Limousine two years ago, is about to see significant price and schedule improvements, promises general manager Dan Goff.
Burch, however, says New York-bound airline patrons like Schiller may not have to fret for long since the single flight to New York may not be the only one forever.
"We're anxious," he says, "to try to increase the frequency for the business traveler."

This is terrible for C'ville business. Not sure why our local government does not do more to lobby airlines to fly here. So many people drive to DC and Richmond to fly that would rather fly out of CHO if they could. And the lack of flights deters money and business from wanting to come to C'ville.

Last week was very fun; setting up for my show and getting to relax and hang out with my family and old friends for bit was great. The opening went very well too, the crowd was nice and I got to see some faces I havn't seen in quite a while, like my highschool art teacher Bill Stephens!
Here was the piece all together before any pieces had been bought and taken down yet:
Since the idea of the show was for people to take the art right when they bought it, instead of waiting for the show to be over then getting it, I really wanted to play off it. That was the main reason for creating a large mosaic, I wanted to see the main shape get dwindled away until (fingers crossed) there's nothing left. I was lucky enough to have a couple sales the opening night, so here is the beginning of the piece getting smaller:
Hopefully I can get a few more pictures as the month goes on, until then it's time to paint like mad again so I can be ready for my busy month of September. Three art festivals, three weekends in a row! Can't wait!

Report fails to mention numerous banal activities characterized as suspicious behavior
Paul Joseph Watson
Monday, April 30, 2012
Despite being the subject of online ridicule for months, flyers put out by the FBI under the 'Communities Against Terrorism' program, which frame behavior including using cash to pay for a cup of coffee as a suspicious activity, have been characterized as reasonable by the mainstream media, even as the New York Times admits that the FBI has originated most of the recent terror plots in the United States.
In a bizarrely headlined story entitled Are You a Terrorist?, CBS 12 lends the flyers credence by completely failing to mention the fact that they include a list of mundane behaviors that have nothing to do with terrorism or any relation to "suspicious activity" whatsoever.
As we highlighted earlier this year, one of the flyers sent out to Internet cafes instructs businesses to report people who regularly use cash to pay for their coffee as potential terrorists.
Other examples of suspicious behavior include anyone expressing concern about privacy while surfing online in public, which far from being a 'suspicious activity' is almost a prerequisite for using the web these days.
In a flyer issued to Military Surplus stores, the purchase of storable food supplies in bulk, an increasingly popular trend amongst "preppers," is also defined as a potential indication of terrorism.
Despite the fact that the flyers are virtually useless in identifying real terrorists because they place activities performed by millions of Americans in the context of 'suspicious behavior', only serving to create an atmosphere of fear and distrust, the CBS 12 report includes none of the ludicrous examples listed above and instead quotes business owners who think the whole thing is a good idea.
"I think it's a good list," said Bernard Greenberg, who owns a hobby shop in Lake Worth, Florida, despite admitting that some of the 'terrorist traits' listed in the flyer would be shared by "A lot of people that walk into the store for the first time."
In other words, treating everyone as 'terrorist until proven innocent' is necessary, even down to fathers who are looking to buy their kid a model aircraft as a birthday gift.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
- {openx:74}
"Some of it seems a little bit over the top, but I am sure they have their reasons for what they are doing," said Scuba Adventures owner Jim Abernathy, again framing the issue as reasonable and rational.
Except that is for the fact that the FBI don't really have a good reason for what they are doing given that, as even the New York Times reported this past weekend, it's the FBI itself which steers and provocateurs almost every terror plot from the very beginning.
After listing a number of major terror plots that have made the headlines in recent years, sounding more like Alex Jones than the Old Gray Lady, the report concedes that, "All these dramas were facilitated by the F.B.I., whose undercover agents and informers posed as terrorists offering a dummy missile, fake C-4 explosives, a disarmed suicide vest and rudimentary training. Suspects naïvely played their parts until they were arrested."
Since the FBI itself has originated most of the major terror plots in the United States, why should a how-to list on spotting terrorists put out by the FBI be given any credibility at all?
The CBS 12 report also fails to mention the plethora of examples from other federal agencies where normal behavior is classified as potential terrorism, including a recent DHS document which lists yawning and getting goose bumps as two primary examples of suspicious activity.
A separate FBI report also reveals that the feds are now treating those who "believe the United States went bankrupt by going off the gold standard" as extremists who are a potential violent threat to law enforcement.
While the deluge of such examples clearly illustrates the trend of federal agencies engaging in fearmongering by brainwashing the public into thinking there's a terrorist around every corner, the establishment media covers up the fact that the war on terror is being turned against the American people by blithely claiming it's all normal and reasonable – when it clearly isn't.

The Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has ruled that the Department of the Interior failed to conduct an adequate environmental impact assessment before selling large areas in the Arctic Ocean for oil and gas exploration. Now Shell has announced that it cannot drill in 2014.
The Court concluded that the Department's estimate of one billion barrels of recoverable oil under the frozen Arctic Ocean was "chosen arbitrarily" and that the Department of the Interior "based its decision on inadequate information about the amount of oil to be produced pursuant to the lease sale 193."
You cannot keep in place a lease that examined only the best case scenario for environmental harm. By choosing a low figure that only reflects the best case scenario, data in the EIS (and other assessments that relied on that figure) were skewed toward fewer environmental impacts, which the court said impeded a full and fair discussion of the potential effects of the project.
I am urging you to cancel the current lease under which several oil companies want to drill in the Chukchi Sea and to stop the process to sell new leases in the Arctic Ocean.

BREAKING NEWS: Just this week, Shell announced that it cannot drill in the Alaskan Arctic this year. But the fight isn't over.
This announcement comes a week after a federal court ruled that the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) — the federal agency that permits oil companies to drill offshore — intentionally downplayed the impact Arctic oil drilling would have on the fragile environment of the Arctic Ocean.
We still need to make sure no oil companies can drill under this lease. The Alaskan Arctic is home to hundreds of Alaskan Native communities in addition to wildlife like polar bears, seals and whales.
Send a message to President Obama today, urging him to cancel this lease and stop drilling in the Alaskan Arctic for good.

The IF prospects were Eduardo Escobar, Brent Morel, Dayan Viciedo, Andy Wilkins, Jon Gilmore, and Tyler Saladino:
Wilkins is a definite sleeper candidate this year. Any early draft pick hitter coming from an advanced college program (Arkansas) that has a strong rookie debut is expected to continue that success. Wilkins showed power, plate discipline and contact. As a corner infielder, he sits behind Morel, Viciedo, Adam Dunn and Paul Konerko. Sounds like a possible trade piece to me.

EMI CLASSICS 721296 2 [5 CDs: 71:38 + 77:50 + 71:59 + 77:24
+ 77:19]
On 12 April this year (2013) Montserrat Caballé
celebrated her 80th birthday. She could then look back on
a career covering almost six decades. Even though she officially quit
singing in the early 21st century she is still giving master-classes,
thus carrying her art of singing over to the next generation. Whether
there is a new Montserrat Caballé among these hopeful candidates
is uncertain. One could put it more bluntly: "The Sound of Montserrat
Caballé" was unique, and just as there will never be a
new Flagstad, Nilsson, Callas or Leontyne Price there will never be
a new Caballé. This well-filled box presents "The Sound
of Montserrat Caballé" admirably in recordings from the
1970s when she was at the height of her powers. Anyone investing in
it can bask in the most beautiful soprano sounds ever recorded for innumerable
hours. This is a box to dip into for this or that favourite aria or
to play straight through (more than six hours!) at one sitting and still
feel that one can't get enough of this incomparable sound. End
of review! Go out and buy!
No, my editor wouldn't let me finish here and I feel myself that
I need to expound on my subject. So you are welcome to accompany me
through this delectable programme. We start in the company of Bellini,
the epitome of bel canto melody. We don't get Caballé's
Norma, which she recorded for RCA, but the much earlier Il
pirata from 1827, his third opera and his first great success. The
recording is from 1970, though the booklet says 1979, and here she is
not only in her vocal prime but also expressive in a somewhat recessed
way. The heart-on-the-sleeve emotions à la Callas was never her
cup of tea, but she reveals a certain vulnerability paired with regal
spinto tones. Her pianissimos, effortless and ethereal, and her pin-point
high notes were always her hallmarks and these can be admired over and
over again in these excerpts. Take Col sorriso d'innocenza
CD 1 tr. 4) - one of Bellini's most memorable arias: It is so
innocently sung and she floats the melodious phrases in masterly fashion.
Listen also to the elegant embellishments in the following cabaletta,
tossed off as in passing, and be impressed by her meaty chest notes
as well. In I puritani from 1979 she is just as marvellous -
and this is certainly the most testing opera in the bel canto
repertoire. Son vergin vezzosa (CD 1 tr. 6) is like a dream and
Qui la voce (tr. 9) has not been more beautifully sung - not
even by Sutherland on "The Art of the Prima Donna" album.
Is there a mite more effort in Vien diletto (tr. 10)? The complete
recording will be reviewed before long.
On CD 2 we get some excerpts from Guillaume Tell - until quite
recently the only complete recording in the original French. Mathilde's
Sombre forêt (Selva opaca in Italian) (CD 2 tr.
2) is so noble and ravishing that one gets the feeling that Rossini
wrote the aria with Montserrat Caballé in mind. Her timbre blends
perfectly with the orchestral sonorities. In the two excerpts from act
III she is partnered by an heroic Nicolai Gedda as Arnold. Again this
music has never been better sung. Freni and Studer are never less than
very good, but Caballé is divine and the other two sing the role
in Italian.
In the Poliuto scene she sings opposite her husband Bernabé
Marti, a well schooled but rather anonymous tenor. He shows signs of
strain in places where his wife sails effortlessly up in the air. Marti
seems more inspired in the Huguenots scene and he hits the high
notes cleanly in Tu l'as dit (tr. 8) - a stumbling block
for any tenor.
Some time ago I reviewed a mediocre complete Giovanna d'Arco
with Polish singers on Dux. I then referred to this EMI recording as
the natural first choice. These snippets are proof indeed that I was
correct in my verdict. With Domingo and Milnes as partners and James
Levine in what was probably his first recording wringing all the drama
from this admittedly uneven score we get a lesson in how to sing early
Verdi. Some of the best moments in the work are on this disc. Try tr.
13, sung and played at white heat, unsubtle but thrilling, and try tr.
14 for the emotional apex of the work and Verdi at his most inspired
with delicate singing by Caballé.
More Verdi follows on CD 3. It is regrettable that she never recorded
La forza del destino complete, but at least EMI were clever to
record the two arias on a recital disc in 1971. She is in angelic voice
here - and what a magnificent end to Pace, pace!
The Don Carlo recording under Giulini is one of the great classics.
On (tr. 3) a glowing Placido Domingo inspires Caballé to great
things and the big aria from the last act (tr. 5) is for the reference
shelf. I bought this set on LPs and I only intended to dip in for a
taster but couldn't interrupt my listening. Aida under
Riccardo Muti is another classic and here my only regret is that we
couldn't get the encounter between Aida and Amneris as well, the
latter sung by the greatest interpreter of the role this side WW2, Fiorenza
Cossotto. Ritorna vincitor (tr. 6) is so sensitive, O patria
mia glows of passion - and again her pianissimos are magical. From
this third act we also hear Piero Cappuccilli as Amonasro, the outstanding
Verdi baritone of his day. Domingo is an ideal Radamès in Pur
ti riveggo in sappiest voice and Caballé is the weak, vulnerable
princess who even makes Domingo scale down and sing pianissimo. Unfortunately
the music is faded out before Amonasro appears from his hiding place,
which means that we miss the concluding trio that eventually becomes
a quintet when Amneris and Ramfis also join in. O terra addio
is superior to most other recordings, Björling-Milanov and Bergonzi-Tebaldi
possibly excepted.
On CD 4 we get two more scenes from the sessions where the Forza
arias were recorded. The sleepwalking scene from Macbeth is a
psychological masterpiece and Caballé depicts Lady Macbeth's
contrition in touching terms. Her Desdemona in the last act of Otello
is no less moving. Lovely singing! Superb vocalism also in the aria
from Mefistofele.
Caballé was also ideally suited to the music of Puccini. I bought
the complete Manon Lescaut when it was new in 1972 and recently
reviewed its CD reissue (review).
I see that I found her singing at the beginning of the opera a bit lethargic
but the three excerpts chosen for this box are truly superb. Tracks
8 - 13 on this disc and tracks 5 - 8 on CD 5 are all from a Puccini
recital committed in 1970 with Sir Charles Mackerras as conductor. I
wrote a rave review
when the recital appeared on CD some years ago and summarized my impressions
After this general panegyric I can identify some features that will
prove my point better than any deep analysis:-
• the final pianissimo in Signore ascolta!
- like a long, thin silver thread that disappears into the distance
• the exquisite shadings in Un bel di vedremo,
heartfelt and no playing to the gallery
• the caressing of every phrase in O mio babbino
caro and the final note again ethereal
• the inwardness of her conversation with the Lord
in Tosca's prayer
• the innocence of Mi chiamano Mimi, and
• the weightless floating of the pianissimo in the
lovely aria from La rondine
CD 5 opens with three scenes from Cavalleria rusticana, conducted
by Riccardo Muti. Voi lo sapete (tr. 2) is full of pain and in
the big duet with Turiddu both she and José Carreras are wholeheartedly
involved and powerful. We also get a glimpse of Astrid Varnay as Mamma
Lucia and Julia Hamari's characterful Lola. The end is bloodcurdling.
The final duet from Andrea Chenier with Bernabé Marti
as Chenier is also strong and powerful. In the 1980s she also recorded
this opera complete for Decca with Pavarotti as Chenier. Finally we
have some excerpts from Turandot. She took part in the famous
Decca recording under Zubin Mehta from the early 1970s in the role of
Liù opposite Sutherland's Turandot and Pavarotti's
Calaf. A few years later she upgraded to the icy princess and duly recorded
it in 1977 with Carreras as Calaf and Mirella Freni as Liù. I
reviewed a highlights disc from that recording some years ago and
found it rather small-scale, but rehearing some of it in this box I
admired Caballé's In questa reggia a lot. There
is more warmth than ice in the heart of this princess and she sounds
positively humane - and still has the required power and glory to execute
the superhuman last part of the aria. As I pointed out in my review
then she recorded the role before she had sung it on stage, and that
may explain the somewhat laid-back approach. Another matter is the lacklustre
conducting of Alain Lombard.
It is a pity that the last items on this set should be less than superb,
but with so much else that is in the desert island category, this box
should be in every true opera lover's collection. Go out and buy.
