Just got a Roku Box for Xmas. Love it and all the new types of channels I can get (especially NASA).
How about adding Verizon to it similar to the XBox? If not now, then maybe when the new IP technology comes out.
Related to:http://forums.verizon.com/t5/Share-Your-Ideas-with-Verizon/Win-7-Media-Center-streams-via-Media-Mana...
I am posting here because, although I am not a customer currently, I feel like Verizon has done a great job of positioning itself as the media provider on the cutting edge of technology.
We just bought a house in DC. We have RCN for cable right now. The house is really old, but was just "flipped" so it is nice, unfortunately though the old cable wiring only connects to the tv in the basement. Although there are cable jacks in other rooms, none of them work. RCN said I would need a wall fish to get the other tvs in my house connected; they said I'd need to call an electrician to do the work. The elctrician wants to charge me close to $1000 to do the wall fish AND install a new jack in my kitchen, where I spend most of my time. I am so frustrated. So I bought a Roku box last weekend and voila, I have access to media upstairs!
It got me thinking-- why on earth isn't cable available this way (through wi-fi boxes on the back of my tv)??? I think I get it- it's probably not that secure and until you guys figure out a way to make sure folks can't steal it, you won't offer it. But I must say that I am so anxious while I am waiting on your technology to catch up to the Roku box. I really want to feel connected to the rest of the world via scheduled and live television. I want to watch the Food Network and HGTV from my kitchen and other rooms in my house without a $1000 wiring job. I would become a Verizon customer in a heartbeat if your media services expanded to accomodate this and you guys would leave Comcast and RCN in the dust.

this is a good idea!!! i live in nyc give different options to keep customers to fios VOD (roku)
Would love to access this via my Roku as that is my favorite set-top box available on the market!
TWC allows acces to all channels via ROKU thereby eliminting the need to rent cable boxes. Please bring all channels to ROKU !!!
Where is a VZ FiOS Roku App like TWC has, SERIOUSLY??!! You gotta get stuff out there ASAP, There are such thin to non-existant customer loyalty lines these days. When one company has something the other doesn't customers jump ship.
Also, why can't the iOS apps let you manage DVR recording series, its just silly that I can create or cancel a series from my iOS devices but I can't manage the features of the series recording like retention, HD or SD, only new episodes, etc. And please, please please, integrate the various iOS apps, I don't think it makes one ounce of sense to make a user switch between 2 or 3 or even 4 different apps just to use/manage FiOS TV service....
Oh and one more thing, VOD and DVR content should be available to the user across all platforms (STB, iOS, XBOX, ROKU APP, WHEN WE GET ONE). It's semi-reasonable that it be caged inside the home (I mean access from inside customer's WiFi/LAN only) I suppose. But realistically, I'm paying for that content, I should be able to get to it from any device I want from within VZ's port to the home, assuming VZ has a delivery channel for it like the XBOX app or iOS,etc.
Seriously. Pick up the pace....
Please add a live tv streaming app for the Roku device with all channels so we can elminate some or all of the FioS set top boxes to save money. Time Warner Cable already has just such an app and can stream all channels.
TWC has ROKU app please get a similar app for (fios online/ of streaming) fios-app TV locals included please

Each individual collection is designed by an expert team of design specialists who turn to fashion looks and trends for inspiration and creativity. Another contributing factor to success is the juxtaposition of their exceptional manufacturing standards in relation to their affordable price range. The two aspects are usually difficult to combine yet F&F achieve the outcome effortlessly.

Also the fashion brand provides an extensive accessory line, a vast footwear collection and a lingerie section. To find style advice and inspiration F&F supplies trend tips and how to wear sections; an ultimate fashion guide.
A useful suggestion to purchase an item from the fashion brand for less is to view their special offers. Men can select 3 tops or t-shirts for the price of 2 and women can either indulge in the same offer on knickers or 30% off specific product lines.
Alternatively, F&F have a vast sale department with up to 50% off selected items; new lines are added regularly. The sale section is divided into gender and product type to make the area easy to navigate. Your sale search is filtered by size, colour, brand and price to ensure you are directed to the correct area.

Improvements are coming to Virginia's Tangier Island after getting hit hard from Hurricane Sandy.
A jetty and a seawall will be built to protect the island's harbor from erosion. Governor Bob McDonnell made the announcement yesterday.
The 3-mile long island sits in the Chesapeake Bay and has been threatened by erosion and storm surges for years.
The cost of the project will be about $4.2 million. The federal government will pay about $3.2 million and the state will pay the rest.
Construction is expected to be completed in 2017.
Much of the island's economy is dependent upon the harbor serving as a hub for commercial fishermen.
The island has fewer than 500 residents and more than 125 are licensed commercial watermen.

"Time is up, you must leave now!"
- ipsedixit Oct 21, 2007 10:18 PM
The other night, called up a restaurant for a reservation at 7:30.
Was politely told they were booked, but could accommodate us at 7.
Was then also informed that if we took the 7 o'clock seating, we had to be out by 8.
A mere hour for dinner?
Was this the pay phone version of restaurants?
And, what would've happened if at 8 o'clock we hadn't finished our meal?
Would we be forcibly ejected, arrested for trespassing? Shot on sight?
Has this happened to you?
(Note: We ended up at a different place ...)
Based off my experience taking reservations in a restaurant this is my guess as to what might have happened.
Let's say the restaurant does a two-hour turn for their reserved tables. If there was a party that had come in at 5 and was expected to leave at 7 than that table would be free. However, perhaps the restaurant had booked that same table for an 8:00 party. There's an hour in-between where it's sitting unused, but most restaurants wouldn't seat anyone there due to it only being available for an hour. If the party would sound desperate sometimes I would offer the same thing on the condition that they understood the table needed to be available by 8. A surprisingly high amount of people would take me up on the offer, but then again service was prompt and it was an easy restaurant to get in and out of in an hour if one was motivated.
It sounds to me like they were just trying to squeeze another table in, but it's generally not a good idea to even offer that option.
re: mariannas
This is exactly what happened to me once, and why. I was a walk-in, though. I don't think it's very good form to offer a reservation under these circumstances.
Happens to me occasionally. Generally as a walk-in after being told they're full for
the evening and putting on our sad faces. Usually the offer includes being moved to
the bar when table time's up. Sometimes we've gone for it, sometimes not.
This doesn't get the "wtf" reaction from me since the parameters are clear from the
start. Unlike the abruptly-hustled-out-immediately-after-coffee problem concerning
which there's an epic thread or two hereabouts.
re: Chuckles the Clone
If it's a Saturday night and the place is jammed packed when I get there, I can understand it. If I get there and I hear crickets in the background, then I would do a WTF?
Not a big hot button for me. I've got so many more others.
re: Chuckles the Clone
This has happened to me with last min. walking in, or last min res. Not a problem, was not suprised and was happy to have desert at the bar
jfood is glad that restos are starting to act like other businesses in communicating to custos the extents of their reso. This should hopefully start a trend in which the resto and the custo have confirmed expectations versus "whose table is it?"
This happens to jfood often at one small resto in town that he loves and always forgets to call for a reso. when he does remember he is told that he can have a 630 but needs to be out by XXX (usually its 800 and if it's only M&M jfood it has never been an issue). Win-win. Jfood eats at one of his favorite , the resto has another turn and the people who made the XXX reso have their table when a greed to. One time jfood was not able to order dessert because the other couple at his early dinner was late (never doingthat again with this particular couple). The server was very polite and mentioned that the table was reserved for XXX and that there would not be enough time for dessert. Hey, that was the deal and a deal is a deal and it was the other couple's fault not the resto's.
Remmeber that noone on these boards who had the XXX reso would have anything other than complete and total disgust if they arrived at XXX and were not seated until XXX+45.
So hopefully restos that are planning to turn the table in 2-2.5 hours will adopt a policy of telling the reserving party that "yes we are confirming your reso for 730 and the table will be yours until 930."
Once again communication is the key to not having any hard feelings.
re: jfood
Absolutely. As it should be in reverse. As has been viewed on many of these threads, a restaurant will have an unhappy customer if communication from the customer to the server is not taken seriously and acted upon accordingly. Or, failing that, if a restaurant manager or owner then does not make the situation right.
I have no interest in restaurants that don't put the customer first, within reason.
Without good food and respectful restaurant owners and good servers, there will be, hopefully, restaurants that close due to lack of business.
Someone here was spot on when they put it that a 'contract' is entered into when a patron enters a restaurant. If the details of the contract are known up front, then all is well. If there is a time limit on a table, if there is a charge for bread or water or takeout containers, I want it known and above board. I want no surprises.
If I the patron can get a good meal, with decent service and at reasonable (for the area) prices, then the contract is fulfilled. If for any reason the contract is not adhered to by either party, both parties have cause to complain, here or in person.
re: dolores
I agree-it seems obvious to me that I am having dinner at a restaurant and in a way "renting" out that table for an agreed amount of time. If the management informs me that I need to be out by a certain time then that is my decision to eat there or not. By the same token, sometimes I ask the restaurant-sometimes those known for slower more detailed service-that I need to be out by a certain time and is that possible? At times I am told yes they can accomodate faster service and sometimes I am refused due to a busy kitchen. Either way, I have no problems as long as both I and the restaurant are on the same page.
There are a couple of things to think about here. First, what are my plans. Sometimes I have a soup OR salad, a couple of appetizers, dessert and coffee. I can do this in an hour, if that is what I plan for. But the other side of this is that there is an onus on the restaurant that makes a reservation under these conditions to keep things moving so the hour is possible. I would not want to find my second appetizer, dessert, and coffee on the corner of my table packed up in Styrofoam at 7:58 because things were slow coming out of the kitchen.
By the way, ipsedixit, I think you probably made the right move. Maybe "WTF" is not warranted. They told you what's up and you were able to make an informed decision.
While your exact scenario has never happened to us, we did have a strange experience quite a few years ago in Chicago when we were much younger and more naieve. We had made reservations around 7 p.m. for 2 couples at a fairly popular new resto on a Saturday night. We ordered apps, drinks, entrees and dessert. We were still talking with our friends around 9:30 p.m. when we were asked to leave the resto unless we ordered MORE food or drinks after we finished dessert. The resto was busy, we had ordered a lot of $$ and it took 2.5 hours to deliver all. It was a strange situation, we left and never went back. Have never had this experience again.
re: Diane in Bexley
Wow, Diane, how did you handle the situation? In the server's tip? Talked to the manager? Wrote a letter to the owner?
Except for the dual rush jobs by My Nemesis, I have been lucky enough never to have encountered such rudeness in a restaurant again.
re: dolores
Dolores, I am ashamed to admit we did nothing, just picked up and left with the other couple. We were very young, in our 20s, newly married, and just "getting out into the world". Today would have been a VERY different story. I wonder how much of the fact that we were young and inexperienced contributed to our being taken advantage of.
re: Diane in Bexley
How were you taken advantage of? Did you think the table was yours 'til closing?
One cannot tell from your story how long you sat and talked to your friends. You say "7 p.m. for 2 couples at a fairly popular new resto on a Saturday night. .... We were still talking with our friends around 9:30 p.m. when we were asked to leave ...it took 2.5 hours to deliver all"
This says that desserts were served and you were asked to leave when they arrived. (7:00 + 2.5 hrs = 9:30) That is not what you meant to say I am sure.
Apparently you had finished your meal and were merely socializing. Why should you be allowed to transform the restaurant into your living room?
re: FrankJBN
Unless I was told there were people waiting for a 10:00pm reservation, I wouldn't assume there was anyone waiting to eat that late at night.
re: FrankJBN
Frank, service was very slow at this place and the waiter literally had just put down our dessert when we were asked to leave. No, I didn't think the table was ours till closing, but I was expecting to be able to savor my dessert instead of eat & run. Not my problem it took them 2.5 hours to serve 3 courses.
re: Diane in Bexley
A similar situation happened to jfood but with a slightly different timeline. It occured at a new "hot" resto in their town.
M&M jfood (and two friends) had a 730 reso at a resto in their town (their town is 15,000 people with maybe 9 restos). They were seated at 745 through no fault of theirs as they all arrived by 720 and were waiting in the bar. They ordered drinks, apps and entree and were having a nice leisurely dinner. At 900, one-hour and fifteen after seating dessert menus were presented, so the evening was nicely paced. The waiter comes over and tells them that they would have to vacate the table. Jfood told him they had not ordered dessert and the MOD came over and told them that the table was reserved for 900 and would we please move to the bar for dessert. We paid the bill and not wantng to cause a scene jfood et. al. moved to the bar area. And there were no tables. So there the four of them were, jackets over one forearm and holding a drink in the other hand.
5 minutes passed, then 10 minutes and they see nothing. They decide to leave and go down the street for some ice cream. As they were walking out the MOD is walking the other way with two desserts and when he sees them he stops in his tracks and says, "Now you're leaving after I was bringing you some desserts."
Stick jfood with a fork he is now done . Jfood looked at him, incredulous and said, "first you seat us late, then you evict us from the table, then you tell us to go to a table in the bar when there were none, then you ignored us, then you bring desserts that we did not order and then you are rude. Are you kidding me? You will never see us again" and the four of them walked out.
Two weeks later jfood receives a phone call at the house. It appears that the MOD was speaking with some of the other MOD's in town and relayed this story for guidance. When one of them asked the name of the party and he told them, the other MOD's told him, "are you kidding? you did that to the jfoods?" Nice to have friends. The MOD was extremely apologetic and sent a letter asking the four of us to return. Hey mistakes happen, and jfood thanked him, and the four of them returned.
You would think the service and food would have been extra-special good. The service was OK but the food was served raw or cold. They thanked the MOD for the meal and moved on, never to return. Sometimes a free meal is not worth the price.
Interesting as well as the place is now 50% full on Saturday nites, when before you could not get a reso. Efficient market theory at play.
re: jfood
(parethetically: somewhat interesting given some people's reticence to name
resto names in their "hypotheticals for guidance" that apparently MoDs are
discussing patrons by name when they "talk among themselves". i'm not taking
a position on this, but would be interesting if some of the principals of some of
the eggregious stories here end up being softly blackballed.)
re: psb
when apprpriate jfood names names:
See "Cava" review. Not exactly a ringing endorsement. Likewise on this thread if you get too specific, it may lead to the big blue pen.
I do this rather frequently on busy weekend nights when we are totally booked for reservations. It only makes sense. We would rather not have tables sit empty for an hour, especially as we only have ten of them. Hungry diners get fed. The alternative would be to say no, we don't have any tables available for the rest of the night. In our restaurant, one is perfectly able to order salad, entree, and maybe dessert and coffee, (depending on how the kitchen is doing), in one hour. It is not a long leisurely dinner, but neither is it rushed. When the hour is up, I don't say anything to the diners. They almost always time themselves and leave at the appropriate time. They're happy we were able to sneak them in. We're happy the table didn't sit empty. Like others have said, no harm no foul if the terms are communicated up front.
re: hilltowner
the flip side works, too. i've occasionally had a place tell me they are booked for an evening. then i told them i only wanted an app & salad, or just an entree w/out apps/dessert, and that i'd happily eat quickly. most times, they've accommodated me, and both sides have been happy.
"Has this happened to you?"
Now it's my turn to say WTF?
Yes, it has happened to me - restaurants have tried to accomodate me, but what they could offer wasn't to my satisfaction and I declined.
this is defined as something happening that is worth reporting?
We actually had something even better than this happen to us. It was for my daughter and son-in-law's rehearsal dinner. We were actually at the rehearsal, which was scheduled for 3 p.m. and the dinner was scheduled for 5 p.m. The prospective groom got a panicked call from the restaurant at 3:30 p.m. telling us that we HAD to get there at 4 p.m. because we had to be out by 6 p.m. He just laughed and said "no way people have made these plans weeks in advance." Then, when we got to the restaurant, the manager tried to inform the groom's parents of the time restraints, to which the groom's parents replied "no way. We've had this planned for months and anything else has to be planned around us." There were more than 50 people in our party and they only had seating out for about 35, so we had to take over another part of the restuarant. I noticed the other party was seated inside -- this restaurant featured a patio with a really nice harborside view, which was what we'd reserved. After we left, they were reseated. I was amazed that the restaurant would even ask us to limit the dinner. But it was easy enough to ignore them.
My problem with "timed' dinners is when we get bad service. As i've often told them when they ask, "we'll be done as soon as we're finished eating and that depends a great deal on the speed of your service."
This happens in Japan all the time. You walk in and they warn you that they'll be closing at a certain time (if that time is less than about 90 minutes away) so you can decide whether or not you want to go in or go elsewhere. It seems fair enough to me. At least they didn't take the reservation, let you come in and order then tell you that you'd have to hit the road by 8:00 pm.
I think the restaurant is honnest with you.
You have two choices :
1- Decline the offer, thanking them for the information, saying that you will try go get a reservation in advanced next time.
2- Accept the reservation, knowing that you only have 1 hour; be certain that you are on time, and even show up 15 to 20 minutes early, just in case the previous people already left, and since they know that you will leave your table on hour ( +/- 15 minutes) later, just skip desert and lengthy drinks ( you can do that elsewhere); and if the staff know that, they wil probably push your orders before others.

President Obama is scheduled to deliver his State of the Union address next week and a valley college student will be part of the event.The White House has invited a select group of social media savvy people to "livetweet" the President's State of the Union address, including a political science student from ASU.Days before the State of the Union address the White House posted this picture on Instagram and Twitter giving us a glimpse of how the President is preparing.Tuesday the White House will let a select group do the tweeting including Jordan Hibbs, an ASU student."It feels good definitely I'm committed to social media and I'm really interested in politics its a great way to be involved in something that I care a lot about " said Jordan Hibbs.She has more than 16,000 followers. "They can tweet me questions that they want asked" said Hibbs.In addition to live tweeting the President's State of the Union address Jordan will be able to ask senior White House staff questions about the President's vision and policies.This is the second year in a row Jordan will be part of the social media event. She says thousands of people apply, but only about 100 are chosen based on their social media usage and profiles.So what's the secret to being a successful tweeter? "Asking peoples opinions is really helpful because if you try to get other people involved in the conversation seems like people want to follow you and be more engaged so make it more about them" said Hibbs.Jordan leaves for Washington D.C. Sunday morning.

Carleton students organize in reaction to Gaza conflict
Two weeks ago, a group of Carleton students concerned with the silence on campus regarding the recent Gaza-Israel conflict decided to speak up. Now, after gathering signatures for a national petition and hosting a successful panel discussion, Let's Talk is quickly making its presence known. The organization was formed in response to the lack of knowledge at Carleton of Middle Eastern conflict and political situations.

Letter: Bon Appétit and Carleton College
As evidenced by several articles in last week's Carletonian, there are a number of student concerns about recent changes in Dining Services. In an effort to respond to these concerns and to ensure that the Carleton community has the most accurate information possible about these changes, I offer the following comments.
Carleton to host world premier of "House of Seven Gables" play
"Teamwork" is a word that usually refers to sports, but the people involved in the upcoming Carleton play, The House of Seven Gables, give that word new meaning. A crew of over thirty students have been working on the play, and only five of them will be onstage opening night. The rest are involved in costume design, prop design, sound design, and more. Director Ruth Weiner, Professor of Theater and the Liberal Arts at Carleton, has the difficult job of "coordinating all the many, many different people."
Carleton ranks #20 for 2008 Peace Corps volunteers
Carleton College ranks 20th in the number of Peace Corps volunteers for 2008, as the College produced 15 alumni volunteers last year to push its cumulative alumni Peace Corps volunteer number past the 500 mark.
How do rising seniors feel about the decrease in Northfield Option?
Carleton's residential office, better known as Res Life, released the lottery numbers for the 2009-2010 academic year earlier last week along with the statement that only a hundred rising seniors would get the chance of getting Northfield Option.
Modernizing Melodrama
Long disparaged as lowbrow and unworthy of critical attention, melodrama receives a fresh look from curators Carol Donelan, professor of cinema and media studies, and Laurel Bradley, director of exhibitions, with input from students enrolled in a course taught fall term at Carleton, "The Melodramatic Imagination." Rooted in cheap stage shows, circus spectacles and sentimental literature, melodrama matured as a cinematic genre in the early twentieth century.

Director of Congressional Relations at the National Archives discusses the United States Census
"Revolution is in the Air" was the title of David McMillen's convocation address, advertised across campus on striking posters featuring a black silhouette of the Statue of Liberty against a bold red-striped background. As students drifted into the Chapel last Friday to the sounds of the Beatles' "Revolution," they could be excused for wondering if this wasn't a rather dramatic way to dress up a talk on a prosaic topic: that dry decennial exercise in statistics known as the U.S. Census.

Knights end big week with playoff-clinching win
If ever the Carleton men's basketball team could have picked a time to get hot, this was it. The Knights decisively won all three of their games over the past week, culminating in a 68-50 stomping at St. Mary's Wednesday night that saw the team clinch its eighth consecutive trip to the MIAC playoffs and senior forward Zach Johnson move into second place on Carleton's all-time scoring list.
Men's tennis season preview
The Carleton men's tennis team is coming off one of their best seasons to date in their 2007-2008 campaign (21-4), and this year they look to only improve upon those results.
Weaver helps Knights get back on track
Ally Weaver '11 was a red-hot 5-for-5 from beyond the arc and finished with 17 points in a 67-46 Knights (9-11, 8-9 MIAC) victory over the St. Mary's Cardinals on Wednesday. Senior Hannah Oken-Berg moved to sixth in career rebounds while posting 16 points and 10 rebounds
Notable finishes at St. Olaf Invite
After winning the 55-meter dash, taking second in the 200 meters and posting two personal best times at the St. Olaf Invitational Friday night, Nick Cesarek '09 was named MIAC track athlete of the week Monday.

The crime of the century: with liberty and justice
Rod Blagojevich, last Thursday, lost his job as governor of Illinois. Impeached for attempting to sell former Senator Barack Obama's seat to the highest bidder, the former governor leaves behind a legacy of shallowness, callousness, and utter incompetence. However, his sham of a trial leaves a legacy of political pandering.
My views on Israel, Gaza, and the possibility of peace
I would like to start by thanking Katie Blanchard and Dan Curme for opening up the discussion about the Gaza war on campus in a way that allowed the conversation to continue and in a way that did not simply deteriorate into hostility as it so easily could have. It is never healthy to try to ignore festering and inevitable controversy or conflict. Thus, I am writing this in order to continue this debate and to present another viewpoint.

Editorial: Will Minnesota ever have a senator again?
This has been a long and tiring process for Minnesotans, especially because it has put them in the national spotlight - in a less than positive outlook at times - for so long. The process has also been less than flawless - errors of election judges have been highlighted, and the debates between Coleman and Franken have been bitter. All Minnesota wants is for the process to finally be over, because regardless who wins, the state will have a senator in Washington D.C. At this point, given the state of the economy, and after four months of debate, that is all that matters.
Explosion When My Pen Hits, Tremendous: A need for the arts in liberal arts
Carleton has such a boring cultural scene. It's not that we don't have culture. We've got all kinds of plays, and the Concert Hall is always booked. The Cave is the oldest college pub in the country. We have an institutionalized break in classes to bring in guest speakers. Yet rarely is there an event at Carleton that truly excites students or offers something new. We can have all the a cappella shows we want, but it's not as though we're innovating much. When the most interesting thing that students have to look forward to on a weekend is a Sayles dance, something is wrong.

SWArticle: What is the Comprehensive Sexual Education Ciriculum?
Chances are, your sex-ed experience in high school wasn't all you wanted it to be. Some schools are supporting more comprehensive programs these days, but the majority still primarily feature slides of various sexually transmitted infections and base a healthy sexual life on abstinence until marriage.
At Carleton, the Gender and Sexuality Center (GSC) sponsors a comprehensive sexuality education program for students based on the Our Whole Lives (OWL) curriculum.
Arb Notes
It is Sunday night, around eleven or eleven thirty, and the short walk from Davis Hall to the library seems to take forever, weighted down as I am with a bag full of books. Preoccupied with dread of those books I do not at first realize what I am hearing. Crows. Wait…Crows? There throaty cries sound strange and unfamiliar in the darkness and I look up. My eyes search the darkness until, suddenly, I see it; the silent cause of all that ruckus, flying out of the pine trees that line the driveway behind Leighton. "Owl!" I yell. The people on the sidewalk turn to see what I am pointing at and exclaim in astonishment and excitement.

WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) - Marathon County is continuing to explore future space needs. The Executive Committee discussed possible courthouse construction and renovations that would not only handle department space requirements over the long term, but would increase safety and security. County Administrator Brad Karger says the committee has narrowed the options down to two choices. He says they will have to examine both choices closely before making a recommendation to the full county board.
The proposed renovation would add on the the west and east of the existing courthouse building, and tear down the oldest part of the building to the south. Karger says choosing the best option does not mean construction anytime soon. "The price tags on both are very high. That's why we're taking a very long view of this. Even though nothing's likely to happen in the next three to five years." He adds, "When we make a decision to expand the courts or we make a decision to expand the jail, this is how we're going to do it."One of the Marathon County space challenges is the overcrowding in the jail. Karger is optimistic they can find ways to avoid jail expansion. "I'm hoping that in twenty-five years, we won't have to expand the jail at all, and that we can provide effective alternatives to incarceration that will work and will change criminal behavior early on so that jail expansion is not necessary."
The price tag for options "2" and "2-A" now being considered is between 65 and 70 million dollars. That's without adding on to the jail. The main difference in the plans is "2-A" would have everything on the present courthouse location with a four story structure. Option "2" would have courts and security sensitive departments in three floors of the present site, and all non-secure departments in a separate building nearby.

Remembering and Reimagining August 28, 1963
Gwen's Take
Two years ago, I wrote this piece about looking back and looking forward. Now, because we love our landmarks, the 50-year anniversary of the March on Washington has allowed us to focus once again on a pivotal national event that did so much to shape the way we view ourselves and our nation.
Names have been lost in the popular retelling. Bayard Rustin was the organizer who somehow figured out a way to get a quarter of a million people to descend on the capital for a march that made some pretty radical demands. Walter Reuther and A. Philip Randolph were the labor organizers whose efforts ensured that the crowd was so racially diverse. Anna Arnold Hedgeman was the only woman on the organizing committee, and scolded the civil rights leaders who decided the day's speakers would all be male. She lost that fight.
I'm embarrassed to say I've learned, or re-learned, a lot of this recently as I was preparing for the series of conversations we've been having on the PBS NewsHour and Washington Week leading up to the anniversary. It puts nearly everything we are watching unfold in Washington now in context -- from economic stress to power politics to personal security. And it helps us to look forward, too.
August 25, 2011
My daily commute takes me south along the Potomac River and past the neoclassical majesty of the Lincoln Memorial, a beautiful drive I try not to take for granted.
But I had been living and working in the nation's capital for more than two decades before I retraced the steps I had taken as a schoolchild, up the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.

Score Atlanta
The GHSA traditional state wrestling tournament takes place Friday and Saturday at the Macon Centreplex. Six classifications will decide state champions at the event, as Class A awards just one.
Being the last meet of the school year means the traditional tournament holds a special importance. Coaches and teams want to close out the season in a positive way.
"There's five seniors this year and I want them to go out on top and they want to go out on top," Pope coach Jim Haskin said. "The whole team wants to go out on top, so that's a good thing for the program. It steers people in the right direction for the future."
Archer coach Tom Beuglas agrees. Despite winning the duals tournament last month like Pope, Beuglas' team wants this one even more.
"Obviously, winning the duals was one of our two goals for the season but I've told them all along, everybody remembers what happens last," Beuglas said. "We kind of put that (the duals) behind us pretty quick. I'm not going to lie, (the traditional meet) is big."
While the duals tournament is strictly a team-oriented event, the traditional meet puts the individual first. However, there is still a team concept and goal.
"When you get to the traditional, it's every man for himself," Haskin described. "It becomes all about you. The onus is put on the man, the one guy. We also build on when you perform and do what you're supposed to do, the team wins out as well."
And Haskin knows how it feels to leave on top, as he has guided the Greyhounds to four state titles including the past two traditional championships. Pope has also won the past two duals titles.
With so much recent success, Haskin has to find ways to keep his Class AAAAA program motivated to just maintain the status quo rather than reaching for the top.
"When you get to a point where you're starting to win championships, whether it's Cobb County championships or a state championship, you want to continue that tradition," Haskin said. "That's important to them, to the coaches, to the community and everybody involved. That's a big part of it, continuing tradition."
While Pope is looking to "three-peat," Archer is trying to win the first traditional title in school history. The Tigers won their first wrestling state championship ever last month in the duals, but this meet provides different challenges.
"Anywhere you can pick up a point here or a point here, they all matter," Beuglas stated. "The biggest thing is to get more kids on the podium than anybody else. If you can place eight, nine, 10 kids in the top six, you going to be hard to beat."
With a first-place finish this weekend, the Class AAAAAA Tigers would be the first program to sweep the duals and traditional titles within the first four years of the program's start. Beuglas took over at Archer four years ago after 15 season with Parkview. Now, he has a state title under his belt and a nationally-ranked program.
"The first year, we went out and got any person we could get and preached to them to buy into it and commit yourself to wrestling year round and work hard, when you're a senior, we have a chance to (win state)," he remembered. "We've got nine seniors, and they've all bought into it."
Beuglas hopes this will not be the end of Archer success, but the beginning.
"We've got a lot of young kids so I feel like we're not really ending, we're just getting started."
In Class AAAA, the odds-on favorite is Gilmer, the three-time reigning duals champion and winners of two of the past three traditional titles. Coach Sam Snider's Bobcats are led by five grapplers who won titles in the rugged Area 7 traditional tournament: Marcelino Lopez, Cameron Perry, Johnie Flakes, Jared Sweat and J.P. Pritchett. Heritage-Catoosa, however, won last year's traditional title while duals-finalist Alexander could pose a threat to Gilmer.
Pope will be the team to beat once again in Class AAAAA. All-everything wrestler and Air Force signee Brooks Climmons will anchor the Pope lineup while Preston Markwell, Tyler Haskin , T.J. Collins, Davis Burson, Jonny Sexton, Jake Henson, Billy Meek, Zeke Weber, Joey Tabachino and Taylor Howard each had wins for the Greyhounds in the duals finals. Woodland-Bartow and Whitewater are ranked second and third, respectively, according to the Score Atlanta/AJC poll.
In the state's largest classification, Archer heads a three-headed monster of state contenders, along with Collins Hill and Camden County. The Tigers, however, beat Camden County in the duals finals 35-19 and qualified all 14 wrestlers for the traditional meet.
Duals champion Banks County will again battle Woodward Academy for the state title after upsetting the War Eagles in Macon last month. Banks County coach Kasey Hanley, in his eighth season, led his team to a 34-33 win over Woodward at the duals. Woodward Academy counters with record-setting Chad Pyke, an N.C. State signee who set the national record with wins during a career with 326. The War Eagles qualified 11 for the traditional finals.
In Class AA, Jefferson is expected to win its 13th straight traditional title while Class A should be another barnburner between Gordon Lee and Holy Innocents'. Last winter, the teams split the duals title due to a dispute that was settled by a GHSA vote. Gordon Lee won this year's duals over Holy Innocents' and qualified 13 wrestlers for the traditional meet while Holy Innocents' saw 11 make the cut. Neither team has won a traditional title, as Bremen, now in Class AA, and Jefferson combined to win them all since 2000.

I believe you are wrong about where 3 of the Gilmer County wrestlers placed. If the AAAA West Sectional posting is correct , the only 2 winners from Gilmer were Perry at 126 and Flakes at 138.

"Coach Sam Snider's Bobcats are led by four grapplers who won titles in the rugged Area 7 traditional tournament: Marcelino Lopez, Cameron Perry, Johnie Flakes, Jared Sweat and J.P. Pritchett." Um, didn't you list 5 people.

Narrow your search
The rate at which you type and the length and pattern of your pauses may be the latest in biometric identification. Sumi Das talks to researchers at Iowa State University about how their research could render passwords obsolete.
Creating art with that splendidly elaborate gadget known as the typewriter is nothing new. Just ask Hemingway or Orwell. But this beautifully hacked 1937 Underwood Standard takes things to an entirely different realm.
That's the claim made by Trevor Eckhart, a man who posted a video showing Carrier IQ's software being used to document just about everything users do on their devices.
If you're happy and you know it, your keystrokes will surely show it, say researchers who've developed a program that can recognize users' emotions with a high level of accuracy.
Researchers prove they can spy on a computer by using laser beams and by sniffing the electrical socket, bringing the James Bond world of espionage to everyday geeks.
On today's Tekzilla Daily, Veronica shows you how to preview several different files at the same time with a single keystroke in OS X Leopard.
Swap searches on the quick with this Firefox extension that supercharges the process of going back and forth with site-specific search engines.
Researchers find they can recover usernames and passwords remotely by listening to the electromagnetic waves broadcast by the keyboard itself.
A malicious monitoring app could log the keystrokes and touch input on your iOS device, say security researchers.

By Alex Smith, Hollywood.com Staff
Homeland, meet Sandy. Honestly, there's nothing I'd rather do during a storm unanimously heralded as the end of the world than watch a lot of TV and not buy the 83 things my mother emailed me about. Oops. Speaking of the end of the world and s**tshow storms, this Homeland episode answers the whirlwind that occurred last week by showing Brody in chains. Not like Django Unchained chains, but scary military "you're a terrorist" chains. Again, we get a lot of shots of Brody and Carrie waiting, separately. This has become a thing this season! So much waiting, all of it unbearable. It's the best-worst thing, because I slowly rip all of my hair out during the waiting . Finally, Estes storms in and everything starts happening.
Essentially, our scrappy secret CIA team has roughly 24 hours to get intel from Brody and return him to the world before the Abu Nazir people (who, at this point, could be every human being in DC) realize that something is very wrong. Carrie has made a major mistake here, but no one really talks about that. Carrie is also not allowed to interrogate Brody, for obvious reasons, so we get The Peter Quinn Show instead; Quinn is looking smokin', but Carrie is not pleased, and therefore my prediction that the two would bone in the near future could be way off.
We get a lot of talk of Issa this episode, and it starts by Quinn laying out everything we know regarding Brody and the beginnings of his terrorist brainwashing under Nazir's influence; Brody is telling a lot of lies. Lies that will be undone when Peter finally plays the trump card - Brody's secret suicide video. Brody denies a lot, screams "SHE'S OBSESSED WITH ME" when Carrie comes into the conversation, and Quinn finally plays the tape as he walks out of the room with a grim expression. Cheers to Damian Lewis and his face through all of this.
I kind of wish this episode had kept everything contained inside the bunker, but we had to venture out into the rest of civilization for some things; I'm just a huge fan of claustrophobic entertainment, which is maybe why I cannot handle claustrophobia in real life. Dana has given Xander the boot, mainly because she is so enamored by Finn, the mildly douche-y but super cute son of the VP. They make plans to experience the "widescreen agony" of Sergio Leone, which is something I 100 percent was not talking about when I was their age. I thought Finn was dumb? Is Finn cooler than me? Help? Also, Estes plants the lie that Brody is helping with a top-secret project, and to tell his family/friends/co-workers that he has "the flu" and is hanging out at the hotel. More lies. Lies are everywhere!
Quinn and Brody continue duking it out in the bunker, as Brody keeps saying that he just made the tape but didn't actually wear a bomb. Good try, Brody. Great attempt. Brody pleads that he wasn't involved in the Tom Walker plot, and his conviction is so damn sincere that I almost believe him (or believe that he believes himself). Quinn begins bringing Brody's family into the conversation, before cranking up the volume level and screaming about America/Amurrica. AND THEN QUINN STABS BRODY THROUGH THE HAND WITH A GIANT KNIFE. Carrie, Saul, and Estes freak the hell out, understandably, and rush in to make sure the issue doesn't escalate.
Jessica is freaking out at home about Brody, because she brought soup for his "flu" to the hotel room but Brody is obviously nowhere to be found. I mean, duh. In the bunker, Brody's hand has been wrapped up to stop the bleeding and whatnot, and Carrie has taken over the interrogation; while this makes me incredibly nervous, Saul points out that Carrie knows Brody and Abu Nazir better than anyone else. Saul also asks Quinn if his knife stabbing was "all theater," and Quinn knows that "every good cop needs a bad cop." Way to play the field, Peter! Maybe that sex isn't a no-go after all! Carrie starts off saying a lot of crazy things, like "You broke my heart, you know. Was that easy? Was that fun?" and "Go ahead - I'm a big girl, I can take it." Carrie unlocks Brody's chains, and turns off all the cameras. That's obviously the best way to create an intimate interrogation room. Yep, it's just the two of them in there. Saul and Peter still have audio in the other room, but Carrie is taking this in her hands.
Carrie unspools her emotions for Brody, and once again these two are locked in with one another. Carrie is truly, deeply in love with Brody, but where does she draw the line between her own emotions and her job? It's all so confusing! Carrie! Carrie asks Brody the last time he told the truth (umm, never), and Brody's face slowly but surely begins to break. We go through the drone strike again, and Carrie begins explaining to Brody that Abu Nazir is the real monster, that there is a definitive difference between warfare and terrorism. Is anyone out there a single-issue voter? Are you single-issuing on drone strikes? Are you watching this zany television show? Brody starts giving answers, starts explaining that he knows there will be another attack on the United States but that he truly doesn't know the details. He gives up Roya's connection to Abu Nazir. Everyone else is dead.
Brody is given a call to Jessica, and explains that he will be home at the end of the night. Brody really is the best at lying in the entire world. Jessica is having dinner with Dana and Chris, and the entire family is kind of to the point where they'll believe what Brody says when it actually happens. Because, well, Brody is a mess. If it wasn't for this whole CIA intervention thing, did he really think he could pull off the juggling act much longer? Also, why is Jessica still calling her husband Brody? I know I talk about this too much but I find it weird still. That's his last name. C'mon.
Jessica and Dana have a nice mother-daughter chat on the porch (I'm loving their relationship this season) before Finn shows up with his Secret Service escort for their first movie date. How adorable! However, Dana wants to do "something fun," which obviously means outrunning the escort and creating a personal Jason Bourne moment until the whole thing ends with Finn hitting a woman with his car. Yep. That's not good. Finn wants to flee the scene, as the Vice President's son can't get caught up in that sort of drama, and Dana has to go along. I was crying during the car chase sequence, because it was very obvious that something very awful was bound to occur. This is going to end very badly, especially if this was just the first date. The Bush sisters didn't even pull that kind of drama. Or, I don't think they did.
Brody is curled up in a ball on the floor of the interrogation room, and Carrie sort of gives him his options, which aren't really options at all. Basically, Brody must cooperate with the CiA in bringing down Abu Nazir, and then disappear from politics forever and ever. Amen. Does this make Brody a triple agent? Is that a thing? Immunity is on the table, and I don't know if Brody deserves this much trust at the moment, but there doesn't seem another direction to move for any of the players involved. In the other room, Peter and Saul construct a brand new Abu Nazir bulletin board, starting from scratch with the information that Brody provided; it's a beautiful sight, recalling a lot of complicated emotions from the bulletin board moments of Season 1, and it's also a nice visual metaphor for the hard reboot this show is experiencing almost every week. This bulletin board montage was my favorite scene of the episode, honestly.
Carrie goes to drop Brody off at home, and she tells him that their affair is the cover for meeting up from here on out. Brody holds Carrie's hand, and it's an interestingly heavy moment for the two of them and I absolutely hate it. Their relationship could go anywhere, considering that Carrie's explanation of just telling the truth coming in the form of vocalizing her wish that Brody would leave his wife and kids for her. UH OH. I can't trust either of these nutty fools! As Carrie pulls away from Brody's house, someone else is watching Brody/Carrie; again, this show is pulling a subtle reboot, letting older plotlines wash out and introducing new directions for the show to wiggle. I'm so nervous-excited I could puke.
Brody can finally tell his family something true, as he explains to Jessica that he is working for the CIA. Carrie, meanwhile, drinks a lot of wine in not many gulps and wanders around her empty house. Again, we're stuck with simply more waiting. More terribly uncomfortable waiting - Carrie blames Brody's actions for pushing her to some place true insane that led to the treatment, and I'm afraid that rekindling contact with him will continue to push that imbalance in Carrie. Yet, we all know that Carrie's imbalance is also her pure genius. We all need Carrie to hold it together.
It was really difficult to recap this episode because so much of the tension sat within the dialogue, the pacing, and the delivery of the interrogation. I mean, the majority of the hour was dedicated to an interrogation that took place in a single room, which is all played in slight tone shifts and subtle wordplay. The episode reminded me a little bit of a season premiere, especially as we sort of slammed on the brakes after hopping all over the place with bigger action sequences the last few weeks. There's a dread that's been sneaking up this season, even as it seems Brody now plays for the good guys. I can't breathe very well right now.

Bizarri said his team, which moved to 11-11 overall and 4-2 in the league, trailed by 11 points in the second half before taking a lead as large as nine in the final 20 minutes. Austin Long and Heith Beach each added 11 points to the victory.

Depressed about paying your taxes? You can cheer yourself up by listening to a brand-new single by PSY the weekend before they're due. In a YouTube video, the South Korean rapper has announced that he's releasing a new song on April 13, and marking the occasion with a big show.
"April 13, 2013 is a new single, worldwide, all at the same time," he says, adding that he plans to perform a concert called "Happening" at Seoul World Cup Stadium in Korea. "You can see it live on YouTube, just for you," says PSY, before breaking into a bizarre dance which appears to be his version of the "Harlem Shake."
According to Billboard , the concert is expected to attract 50,000 fans, which is just a tiny fraction of the people who've watched the rapper's video for "Gangnam Style." The song is still in the top 30 on the Billboard Hot 100, thanks to its continued popularity on YouTube.

It was a hot, sunny weekend in Metro Detroit. Many people headed to local pools and lakes. But, there were two frightening incidents on Cass Lake. Thankfully, residents came to the rescue.
Click on the video player to watch Robin Schwartz's report.
A 3-year-old boy was rushed to the hospital. Witnesses say he accidentally hit the throttle on a jet ski and slammed into a dock in West Bloomfield. His parents were nearby. But, it happened fast.
"He was kind of starting to go into shock. I could see he had a large cut on his face," said one neighbor who performed CPR. "He was bleeding from his nose and bleeding from his mouth."
Around the same time, in Waterford, people on another Cass Lake beach were rushing to help a woman who lost consciousness while swimming. She may have suffered a seizure. Beach goers were able to pull her out of the water and revive her. In both cases, the people who got into trouble were helped by strangers with the proper emergency training. It's a frightening reminder - early in the season - how quickly a day of fun can take a dramatic turn. Thankfully, we're told both victims will recover.

May 2012 Associate of the Month Marlene Rosenblum LDRP
Marlene Rosenblum was born and raised in Northeast Philadelphia. She has always wanted to be a nurse. She remembers making the decision at around age 8. Marlene graduated from the Abington School of Nursing and went to work at Pennsylvania Hospital on a medical-surgical floor. She then went to Jefferson Hospital where she worked for about a year in the critical care unit before transitioning to maternity. She left the hospital for about a year and embarked on a long trip to Europe. Upon returning, she worked at Pennsylvania Hospital and then returned to Jefferson where she was a nurse in the delivery room and an educator.
After moving to the area in 1999, Marlene started working at Doylestown Hospital as a childbirth educator. She was also a certified massage therapist, trained to do infant massage and also pregnancy massage. Marlene would often do chair massages for the staff on the maternity unit. It was then she realized she missed the clinical aspect of nursing and the camaraderie of the nursing team. She currently is a staff nurse in LDRP and an instructor for Prepared Childbirth classes. She can also teach all the other childbirth and parent education classes. Marlene also chairs the department's Education Committee.
For Marlene, one of the best parts of her job is helping women during the labor and birthing process-especially if she's had them in class. "Women develop trust in you," she says, "and you can support them in their experience. You're really their advocate, and a source of support as they start their families."
Doylestown's Director of Maternal-Child Services Kathy Donahue, RNC-OB, MSN, IBCLC, RLC, had this to say about Marlene: "Marlene is a wonderful person and nurse. She always finds the good in a difficult situation. She is very patient, which makes her a great teacher. Marlene also believes in making learning fun and often uses humor to get her point across. For her to step up and take on the responsibility of organizing and chairing our Education Committee for no other reason except that she saw the need, speaks volumes about her character."
Clinical Manager Maternal Child Services Pauline Canelli, RNC-OB, BSN, added: "Marlene always gives 100% in everything she does. She is a mentor, advocate and a friend. Marlene always has your back. She is supportive of her co-workers and doesn't know how to say no. She is dedicated to her work and the education of the staff and patients. Marlene is very deserving of this award, she is very humble and would never think of herself as one who should be outstanding, she just does what she does, it is natural. She loves this work and it truly comes from her heart. She is a genuine nurse."Marlene and her husband, Phil, live in Buckingham. Their son, Josh, is 17 and a junior at CB East. Marlene enjoys reading, taking walks and watching the Phillies. She is in the process of writing a book for middle school-aged youth.
Congratulations to an exceptional Associate!

Classic le Creuset. Exactly as written. I made my first tarte tatin last Sunday to rave reviews. The dish can also be used as a sauté pan so it has versatility.
Typical Le Creuset

Le Creuset Tatin
Carolyn Keagle from San Jose, CA– Verified Buyer
I haven't used it yet buy am confident that it will be fine for making quiche and polenta casseroles. I have several pieces of Le Creuset and like each very much.
Love it!
belle from flowood, MS– Verified Buyer
great size for anything you want to make in small portion, presentable.
Absolutely Fantastic!
Evelyn from Boston
I ruined my original pan (too hot and burnt sugar) so I was so happy to get a replacement at such a great price. I love it!!
Best purchase we've made all year
Ama from Champaign, IL
Perfect! Perfect! Used it for everything from quiche to roasts-for-two to, of course, tarte tatin. Our (not yet remodeled) kitchen has electric burners and this is the only cookware I've found that can do a good tarte tatin on those. Worth three times the price.
I love this pan, it works beautifully.
rbgrish from Michigan– Verified Buyer
High gloss enamel finish will turn loose of anything you cook in it. Never sticks, even carmalized sugar wipes right off.
