The Porsche Boxster lineup saw the addition of a new member last December at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The new Boxster Spyder will tip the scales at 2,811 pounds becoming the lightest model in the entire Porsche range with sales beginning in February 2010, starting at $61,200. The Porsche Boxster Spyder is inspired by the legendary 550 Spyder , the first sports car from Stuttgart developed specifically with racing in mind that was also homologated for road use. The new sports car features a lightweight soft top, has a lower center of gravity for enhanced as well as an all new sport tuned suspension.
Mounted in the midship position, Porsche has placed a 3.4 Liter direct injected flat six ahead of the rear axle that delivers a total of 320 HP, 10 HP more than the current top of the line model in the Boxster lineup, the Boxster S , while still getting as much as 30.4 MPG. Like all the other current Porsche models, the Boxster Spyder comes equipped with a seven speed PDK gearbox and a Sports Chrono Package. This allows the Boxster Spyder to sprint from 0 to 60 MPH in 4.8 seconds and reach a top speed of 166 MPH.
Updated 01/29/10: Porsche revealed the official promotional video for the Boxster Spyder that will go on sale next week. Enjoy it!
Updated 03/24/2010: Porsche USA announced prices for the new Boxster Spyder: $62,150 including destination charge. Option list includes: Bi-Xenon lighting system with dynamic cornering lights for $1,560; 7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) $3,420, Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) $8,150; Sport Exhaust System $2,500 and PCM 3.0 including Extended Navigation $3,110.

Press release after the jump.
Press release
Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, is introducing a new top version of the Porsche Boxster, a light mid-engined roadster making its world debut at the Los Angeles Motor Show in December.
Weighing just 1,275 kg or 2,811 lb, the Boxster Spyder is the lightest model throughout the entire range of Porsche cars. Clearly recognisable right from the start, this new mid-engined roadster represents the true, purist form of the Porsche sports car – light, powerful, consistently open, and very efficient.
This is precisely the formula already applied in creating Porsche's most successful road-going sports and racing cars, ranging from the legendary 550 Spyder all the way to the RS Spyder so successful in motorsport today.
The Boxster Spyder now continues this clear-cut philosophy with full homologation for the road, thus reflecting a common wish expressed by Porsche customers. The new model is entering the market in February 2010 as the third version in the Boxster range, joining the Boxster and Boxster S.
The new member of the Boxster family stands out clearly at very first sight from the other versions of Porsche's mid-engined roadster. Quite simply because the Boxster Spyder has been developed first and foremost for driving in the open air, the low-slung, light soft top extending far to the rear serving exclusively to protect the driver and passenger from bright sunshine, wind and weather. When closed, the soft top, together with the extra-low side windows and the two striking bulges on the single-piece rear lid, boasts a stretched and sleek silhouette reminiscent of the Carrera GT.
Significantly less weight than the Boxster S, a lower centre of gravity and an all-new sports suspension give the Boxster Spyder the right kind of driving dynamics clearly reflecting the unique look of the car.
The Boxster Spyder features a 3.4-litre six-cylinder with Direct Fuel Injection upfront of the rear axle. Maximum output is 320 bhp, 10 bhp more than in the Boxster S.
Equipped with PDK Porsche-Doppelkupplungsgetriebe and the Sports Chrono Package, the new Spyder, using Launch Control, accelerates from a standstill to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds. Again with optional PDK, fuel consumption is a mere 9.3 litres on 100 kilometres (equal to 30.4 mpg imp) in the NEDC New European Driving Cycle. Top speed, in turn, is 267 km/h or 166 mph – with the roof open.
In terms of its fundamental concept, the entire Boxster family is the successor to the legendary 550 Spyder built back in 1953, both models sharing the same mid-engine roadster concept, low weight, back-to-the-roots lifestyle, and supreme agility combined with equally outstanding driving pleasure.
The 550 Spyder was the first sports car from Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen developed specifically for racing but also homologated for the road. In the years following its production, this unique Spyder weighing only 550 kg or 1,213 lb, scored numerous victories on race circuits and in the road races so popular at the time.
The 550 Spyder was followed by other extremely successful Porsche Spyders such as the 718 RS 60 in 1960.
In 2004 and 2008 Porsche dedicated a limited edition of special Boxsters bearing the additional name Spyder to these legendary racing cars. By contrast, the new Boxster Spyder is a regular, specially developed and upgraded production model with far-reaching modifications versus the Boxster and Boxster S.
Market introduction of the new Porsche Boxster Spyder will start worldwide in February 2010. The base price in the Euro countries is 53,100 Euro. Including 19 per cent VAT and national specifications, the market price of the new Porsche Boxster Spyder is 63,404 Euro.

Competitors and press reviews
"Carving through the tight and twisted sections of Highway 1, we find that the reduced weight of our six-speed-manual Spyder—at about 3000 pounds, it's the lightest in the entire Porsche fleet—is easily apparent. The 0.8-inch lowered suspension includes shorter and stiffer springs, firmer dampers, modified front and rear anti-roll bars, and a slightly wider track, and it all combines to noticeably improve the Boxster's already stellar handling. The car is just itching to turn in at every corner, and the steering is effortless, as if it had been engineered just for this road. Well, that impression could also be because the suspension work did lighten the steering, but the rack is quicker and even more communicative than before, allowing us to feel the pavement texture more intimately. The Spyder can tackle 25-mph switchbacks at double that speed. The grippy seats hold you in place and the body shows no signs of pitching or rolling, yet the ride is never harsh. Traction into and out of the turns is hardly lost, with the standard mechanically locking differential enabling high exit speeds." (CarAndDriver)
"We drove the standard six-speed manual, as well as the PDK with 'push/pull' paddles, and the same 'box with traditional Porsche paddles on the steering wheel. The PDK seems to get better and better with every new application. And here, the Spyder's CO2 emissions are so improved with it that the car drops a VED band, saving £400 in first year 'showroom tax'. It's happy to chase a high gear during relaxed driving, but will jump down as many gears as necessary in less time that it would take you to move your hand to the gear lever, never mind make the change. Still, we'd opt for manual. Old argument (and the second cliché of this review) but it's still more involving. The PDK arguably leaves more brain space to concentrate in steering, braking points, exit speed and all that other track stuff, but on the road, when you just can't drive legally at 11/10ths, the manual feels better. That's so because, despite a ride that might be slightly too firm for some day-to-day, one of the Spyder's appealing traits is that it can make mundane driving feel slightly special. Any corner, at any speed, feels good in this car." (CarEnthusiast)
"This is a magnificent sports car. Steering is as good as it gets, with every seam of the road and every link to lateral cornering g delivered faithfully to your fingertips. The engine shoves you into the seat with gobs of torque and spins with a gorgeous howl. Despite the added tautness of the suspension, the Spyder doesn't feel rough over rotten roads; in fact, it does an amazing job of keeping its tires planted. And the six-speed manual...well, you can get the Spyder with the PDK (which, happily, now uses conventional shift paddles instead of the previous, ridiculous pushbuttons), but the manual is so light, smooth, and precise, it's hard to imagine shifting this car any other way. This has to rank as one of the top manual transmissions on the planet." (MotorTrend)
The Audi TT-RS is powered by a 2.5-liter engine with direct gasoline injection that produces 340 bhp and 330 lb.-ft. of torque. The TT RS Coupé makes the 0 to 100 km/h sprint (0 to 62 mph) in 4.6 seconds, and the Roadster needs a tenth of a second longer. Top speed is limited to 250 km/h (155 mph), but Audi offers an option to raise the limit to 280 km/h (174 mph). The car is not available on thr US market.
The 2010 BMW Z4 is also offered in two different versions: a Z4 sDrive30i and a Z4 sDrive35i, priced at $46,00 and 51,900, respectively. Both versions are using the same 3.0-liter inline-six cylinder engine. The sDrive30i has 255 hp, and the sDrive35i uses twin-turbos (one turbo designated for three cylinders each) to upgrade to 300 hp.
The Nissan 370Z Roadster is powered by a 3.7 Liter DOHC V6 making 332 HP, up 26 HP from the old VQ35 engine thanks to the new Variable Valve Event and Lift control (VVEL) which manipulates the motor's breathing too ensure optimum respiration and allows for the car's redline to be raised by 1000 revs all the way up to 7500 RPM while returning an estimated fuel economy of 18 MPG in the city and 25 MPG on the highway. The engine is mated to either a seven speed automatic with Downshift Rev Matching or a close ratio six speed manual with throttle blipping SynchroRev Match for perfectly matched heel toe downshifting. Prices range from $36,970 to $43,320.

Amazon Mobile is among my most used apps. This is mainly due to my heavy use of Amazon as a store, and the fact that their main website is rather bloated. The app generally provides a better use experience. It is, however, not stellar.
Let me use it again as an example of a pattern I've noticed in some iOS apps. When you view an item in the Amazon app and tap the button to add it to your wish list, it comes back with this:
alert, n an alarm or warning, esp. a siren warning of an air raid.
It's really not that big a deal that I added an item to my wish list. There's no need to lock me into a modal dialog. Just add the item and move on.
Worse yet, the app won't change the state of the Add to Wish List button after this. You can tap it again and get the same alert. The right way to do this is to change the state of that button, thus giving visual feedback that something has happened and preventing the button from acting again.
Alerts are used to halt the user in case something has gone wrong, or if what follows is very important. Performing a nondestructive action I specifically asked for is neither. You can chill out, li'l app.

Lights out in Venezuela as nearly 70 percent lose power
By Andrew Rosati, CS Monitor, September 4, 2013
Caracas, Venezuela—A power transmission line failure left nearly 70 percent of Venezuela in the dark yesterday, bringing its capital, Caracas, to a halt as commuters scrambled to get home.
The blackout affected 18 states, crippling public services and shutting down Caracas's subway system. Local reports this morning said parts of Caracas and many interior regions of the country are still without power.
While Venezuela has been plagued by chronic power outages for years, President Nicolás Maduro said sabotage was at the root of yesterday's blackout. In a national address he insisted the "extreme right wing" was seeking a "destabilization that leads to madness."
Opposition leader Henrique Capriles countered on Twitter, "Today's blackout shows once again the terrible failure of the Government! Already they come up with another story to try to cover up [their] failure."
Yet, despite the finger pointing, experts say Tuesday's power outage further illuminates the growing electricity crisis across the country. "It's extremely serious," says Iñaki Rousse, an energy consultant and former vice-president of Electricidad Caracas. "There are blackouts in the country every day."
No grid is without its faults, says Mr. Rousse, pointing to the Great Northeast Blackout of 1965. "However, it's the frequency of the outages that are of concern."
A June study by the University of Zulia registered 534 blackouts in Venezuela so far this year. And while Tuesday's cut marks the third major outage in nine months, it's already being labeled "the worst blackout in recent memory," as cuts here usually occur outside the capital.
"It's unprecedented," Miguel Lara, former director of the office of interconnected systems planning, told El Universal newspaper.
Despite recent efforts to develop and modernize Venezuela's electric grid, including a 7.2 billion dollar investment on behalf of the Venezuelan government, blackouts and brownouts have remained commonplace in the countryside—as have odd causes.
According to local press, in 2010 an iguana was blamed for outages in Anzoátegui state. In 2011, a flock of swallows was the alleged culprit for a blackout in Mérida. And last year, an opossum left parts of Zulia without power.
Rousse insists, however, that "despite claims of iguanas or saboteurs, blackouts are the product of a lack of maintenance, planning, and qualified personnel."
Maduro has announced an official investigation into the cause of yesterday's blackout, but observers say the main concern may be keeping the lights on in the capital.
"In the past, the government has done everything possible to prevent the blackouts from reaching Caracas," says analyst Robert Bottome, director of the VenEconomy publications group. "Now it seems to be finally catching up with them."

According to the BBC news report, unemployment in the UK soared over the last three months and young people without jobs climbed above 1 million.
"Levels of youth unemployment have reached a crisis point." This message is spread by politicians, media and communities again and again these days. The Eurozone debt crisis threatens the UK economy and the flat economic growth causes the panic of youth unemployment.
I went to the Southwark Jobcenter plus to find out how all of this impacts on ordinary lives. Young people were queuing for job consultancy. Many of them looked to be in their early twenties. A member of staff told me that the majority of these young people had dropped out of school or college and did not receive higher education. So lacking of higher education or practical skills is likely to be one of key factors in youth high unemployment rate.
I have to say that it is not young people's fault. Indeed, it is impossible for all young people to enter into university. We could excuse that limited education sources, grades or personal interest may reduce youth's opportunities for receiving further education, but we have no excuse that the whole society ignores these people's working right. Therefore, we should make an effort to provide further professional courses for them in another ways.
Recently, there was good news from NBC that some mentoring programmes contributed to helping youth improve their practical skills in US. They helped young people make connections between school and real world. And as a result, these programmes made a difference to reducing local jobless rate.
So on the one hand, our community should provide similar programmes as many as possible to help jobless young people strength their working capabilities. On the other hand, young people should take active action or be encouraged to participate in training workshops to make their dream jobs come true.

"Among the early hunters in Campbell County (TN) were Daniel Boone, Squire Boone, John Milton (in 1761 Captain Breckenridge's waggoner), John Alderson, Joseph Carroll, John Herd, Curtis Alderson, Archibald Taylor, Phillip Cooper, Walter Kelly, Obediah Garwood; in 1751, John Strulter and Uriah Stone." [From Dr. D. L. Ridenour, The Land of the Lake, p. 2.]
The History of West Virginia, Old and New (Chicago and New York: The American Historical Society, Inc., 1923, Volume III, pgs. 618-19
THE ALDERSON FAMILY. Among the prominent and distinguished families of Monroe County few can lay claim to a more honorable lineage or to a more splendid record for public-spirited citizenship than that bearing the name of Alderson. This family traces back to John Alderson, the progenitor in the United States of the Aldersons of West Virginia, who came from Yorkshire, England, and first located in New Jersey, where he married Mary Curtis, and for a time was engaged in agricultural pursuits. Later he entered the ministry of the Baptist Church, and followed that calling during the remainder of his life, in Pennsylvania and Maryland. He became the father of three sons and one daughter. One of the sons of the immigrant John Alderson, "Elder John" Alderson, became historically connected with the early history of the southeastern part of what is now West Virginia. As a Baptist missionary he located in the immediate vicinity of Alderson, West Virginia, in 1774, and until the establishment of a church in 1781 visited around in the sparsely settled country, preaching and exhorting and bringing the Word to the pioneers. He became widely known and universally beloved, and continued as pastor of the church which he had founded until his death. He was born March 5, 1738, and October 31, 1759, married Mary Elizabeth Carroll, their children being: Alice, George, Mary, John (I), Joseph, Thomas, Margaret, Jane and John. These children of "Elder John" Anderson were fine characters and left honored names for their descendants, many of whom yet live in this section. George married a Miss Osborne, Joseph married "Polly" Newman, Margaret married Thomas Smithson,Jane married William McClung and John was married three times, first to Jane Walker, who bore him six children, next to Nancy (Robinson) Mays, who also bore him six children, and next to Millie Milholland. He died in 1853. John Alderson, the youngest son of "Elder John," was a farmer of Monroe County, and owned the Alderson ferry across the Greenbrier River. His home was the present site of the hotel. Of all his children but one now survives, he being familiarly known as "Uncle" George Alderson, and he is the "youngest son of the youngest son." "Uncle" George Alderson was born November 13, 1833, "the night the stars fell." He grew up in the immediate vicinity of his birthplace and makes his home on a part of the original farm. Under the legislative grant of 1789 the Alderson ferry was established, but as time passed and others came to live here the name was dropped and ever since the place has been known as Alderson. The original farm of John Alderson was over 200 acres, but the present farm of his son George consists of 175 acres. George Alderson has always followed farming. He enlisted in the Confederate Army in 1862, and during the greater part of his service acted as orderly for Generals Loring and Echols. He was elected a justice of the peace at the first election after the close of the war between the states, when the Confederates were again given the full rights of citizenship, and in 1885 was elected a representative to the last Legislature that was held at Wheeling, during which he was the author of the amendment to the penal law which provided a penalty of from one to two years' confinement for breaking into outbuildings with intent to steal. He has been twice married, first to Mary Jane Hines, who bore him three children: Charles O., who died in infancy; Emma Cornelia, connected with the Alderson Baptist Academy ever since its organization; and Ida, now deceased. Mr. Alderson's second marriage was with Virginia Stevens, and to this union there were born six children: John C., the only survivor: Bernard C.; William; George, who served two terms in the State Legislature; Virginia, who died as the wife of Charles B. Rowe, and Coleman C. Mr. Alderson is a democrat in politics and a Mason fraternally, and since its organization has been a director in the First National Bank. For forty years he was superintendent of the Baptist Sunday School, and for a longer period has been a deacon in the church. On November 13, 1867, Mr. Alderson married Virginia M. Stevens, and their wedded life has covered a period of more than fifty-four years. On their Golden Wedding Anniversary, November 13, 1917, which was also Mr. Alderson's eighty-fourth birthday, eighty-five guests gathered at the pleasant home on Sunset Hill, this being the first Golden Wedding celebration ever held in the community. Mrs. Alderson is a daughter of J. W. P. Stevens, of English ancestry, and a native of New Hampshire, who came to Alderson as a young man and married Miriam Gwinn. For nearly a half a century he was a teacher in the surrounding schools. He was a fine penman, and because of his splendid education and beautiful penmanship more of the deeds and official papers, as well as family records, are in his handwriting than all others combined. George Alderson, another son of Elder John Alderson, moved to Kanawha County, where he was engaged in salt production, and while his brothers were interested in the same business with him they maintained their homes in Greenbrier County. He became prominent in Kanawha County, and served as sheriff, and Alderson Street, Charleston, is named in his honor. George Alderson was a man of rugged type and of unusual force. He was elected and served several terms in the Virginia Legislature, where his practical knowledge was invaluable. Many interesting anecdotes are related of this man. It is told that he selected the largest corn cob that he could find, converted it into a pipe, and when his confreres remarked upon its size, replied that it was "merely a'nubbin.' " Joseph Alderson, son of Elder John Alderson, was elected sheriff of Monroe County, and after moving to Greenbrier County was a justice of the peace and a member of the Virginia State Legislature. He married "Polly" Newman, a daughter of Jonathan Newman a survivor of the Revolutionary battle of Guilford, and they had a large family. One son, George, known as "Colonel George," lived at DeKalb in Fayette County, and was married twice, first to Jeanette McCleary and then to Eliza Davis, by both of whom he had children, many of whose descendants are now living at and around Alderson, which town was named in honor of the family. John Marshall Alderson, the oldest child of the first marriage, was deputy sheriff and sheriff of Greenbrier County for years, and died in 1861. His wife was Cornelia Coleman, of Amherst County, Virginia, and they had nine children, seven growing to maturity: Sallie, who became the wife of Capt. John G. Lobban; James Powell; Joseph N.; Millie J., who was Mrs. Andrew J. Riffe; John M.; Cornelia M., who became Mrs. Taylor Mann; and Lucy, who became Mrs. E. R. Lewis. The mother of these children died in 1880. Of this family Joseph N. Alderson married Lillie Putney, of Kanawha County, and was engaged in railroad work as agent during his early manhood, later followed merchandising at Alderson, and served as post master during President Cleveland's first administration; also being otherwise prominent in local affairs. He and his wife had four children: Marshall P., who died in infancy; James M., who also died as an infant; Alethea T.; and Joseph N. The last named married Miss Frances Richardson, of Huntington, West Virginia, and they have two children: Frances and Alice Todd. Mr. Alderson was engaged in banking at Alderson until appointed postmaster in 1914, his term expiring in 1923, he being the third of his name to officiate as such. He is a past master of Alderson Lodge, A. F. and A. M., and is a Presbyterian in religious faith. John M. Alderson, the only surviving child of John Marshall and Cornelia (Coleman) Alderson, was born at what was then Palestine, Greenbrier County, West Virginia, February 11, 1854, and received only limited educational advantages. He left home at the age of nineteen years to become a telegraph operator and railroad agent, and in 1884 embarked in mercantile pursuits at Alderson, in which he has been engaged to the present. At one time he was the owner of a large number of branch stores, but at the present confines his attention to three establishments. During President Cleveland's second administration he served as postmaster, but he has never cared particularly for public office, preferring merely to exercise his right of franchise as an American citizen. He has been a supporter of democratic principles, in religion is a Baptist, and fraternally is affiliated with the Master Masons. On February 16, 1893, Mr. Alderson married Miss Florence Hodges, of Mount Sterling, Ohio, and to this union there have been born five children: Gladys Cless, who is unmarried and resides with her parents; Cornelia Coleman, who is the wife of H. L. Smith; Florence Marshall, who is the wife of O. B. Kirby; John Marshall, a member of the students Reserve Corps at the University of Richmond during the World war, now in business with his father, married Miss Elizabeth Creigh; and Julia Hodges, with her parents. It goes without saying that the descendants of Elder John Alderson are, for the most part, Baptists in religion, although late generations have accepted other faiths. So far as is known they have been democrats. None have been known to have violated the laws of the land; and, on the other hand, many have held important official positions with credit. On the whole, the Alderson's are recognized as among the solid and substantial people of West Virginia, a credit to the state and nation.
John Alderson Jr and Mary Carroll had the following children:
10 i. Alice3 Alderson was born in Augusta Co, VA 22 Aug 1760.
+ 11 ii. George Alderson was born 30 Aug 1762.
12 iii. Mary Alderson was born in Augusta Co, VA 10 May 1765.
13 iv. John Marcus Alderson was born in Augusta Co, VA 15 Apr 1769.
+ 14 v. Joseph Alderson was born 17 Jun 1771.
15 vi. son Alderson was born in Augusta Co, VA 18 June 1773. Son died 18 June 1773 in Augusta Co, VA, at less than one year of age.
16 vii. Thomas Alderson was born in Augusta Co, VA 30 Dec 1775.
+ 17 viii. Margaret Alderson was born 18 June 1778.
+ 18 ix. Jane Alderson was born 26 Nov 1780.
+ 19 x. John 'River Jack' Alderson was born 4 September 1783.

WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAU) - It's one thing for an expert to say the Marathon County jail was understaffed, but some former inmates repeated that story to the county's independent safety panel on Tuesday.
Three graduates from the county's OWI abatement court gave their thoughts to the panel. Former inmate Rob Ujda says he didn't feel safe. "It would be nice to have more guards more training to help reduce the incidents they've had in the jail." He says that corrections officers also need to do more to properly enforce and act on the rules and policies of the jail in a consistent manner.
Ken Chaignot brought up the lack of attention provided to inmate grievances inside the jail. "You'd be handing those grievance slips to the COs and they'd crumple 'em up." Chaignot says he'd like to see the supervisors making more rounds inside the blocks as well.
Jail chaplain Ray Slatton told the panel that there needs to be a better measure of respect between the COs and the inmates as well. "It's important for the inmates to respect the officer, but the officers still have to maintain professionalism. If they cross that line, that's where the breakdown starts." He says his group and his counselors try to do a lot to help inmates out, but that one bad incident can undo years of work by chaplain staff.
The panel will continue working on a final recommendation to the county board later this month.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Normally I don't comment, but I had to take a stand for all of the tanks out there.
The best we can offer is a druids flightiness!? I buy warriors, charging around thunder clapping and screaming at everything, but Paladins? The DK argument was already made quite well, and Druids weren't too bad, but Pallys just got raged on! We have tons of heals, we taunt mobs off you, are fairly self sufficient, understand the importance of a good shield, and never die.
If anything, I would have accepted that they won't stop putting their hands on everyone and don't understand why you get mad (whether or not it is that they are oblivious to the connotations or nefarious is up to the individual paladins/priests).

Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan of New York authorized payments of as much as $20,000 to sexually abusive priests as an incentive for them to agree to dismissal from the priesthood when he was the archbishop of Milwaukee.
Questioned at the time about the news that one particularly notorious pedophile cleric had been given a "payoff" to leave the priesthood, Cardinal Dolan, then the archbishop, responded that such an inference was "false, preposterous and unjust."
But a document unearthed during bankruptcy proceedings for the Archdiocese of Milwaukee and made public by victims' advocates reveals that the archdiocese did make such payments to multiple accused priests to encourage them to seek dismissal, thereby allowing the church to remove them from the payroll.
A spokesman for the archdiocese confirmed on Wednesday that payments of as much as $20,000 were made to "a handful" of accused priests "as a motivation" not to contest being defrocked. The process, known as "laicization," is a formal church juridical procedure that requires Vatican approval, and can take far longer if the priest objects.
"It was a way to provide an incentive to go the voluntary route and make it happen quickly, and ultimately cost less," said Jerry Topczewski, the spokesman for the archdiocese. "Their cooperation made the process a lot more expeditious."
Cardinal Dolan, who is president of the national bishops' conference and fast becoming the nation's most high-profile Roman Catholic cleric, did not respond to several requests for comment.
A victims advocacy group, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, sent a letter of protest to the current archbishop of Milwaukee on Wednesday asking, "In what other occupation, especially one working with families and operating schools and youth programs, is an employee given a cash bonus for raping and sexually assaulting children?""—
The New York Times, "In Milwaukee Post, Cardinal Authorized Paying Abusers."

Like it or not, fat people are at war. I'm not hyperbolizing or dramatizing. If you don't believe me, Google "War on obesity". Tonight HBO premiered its new documentary series "The Weight of a Nation". On the premiere page it says "Obesity in America has reached a catastrophic level. Almost every aspect of our lives is threatened. The first step toward ending the damage is learning how to fight back."
I spend a lot of my time politely asking people to please stop oppressing me. I don't apologize for that, nor do I begrudge it – it's proven to be a very effective way to create change and I think that people deserve to be given the benefit of the doubt and the support they need to shift their thinking, and it's a reasonably pleasant form of activism. I will continue to do it.
But I also have to acknowledge that there is a war being waged against me because of how I look, by people who have been given every opportunity to know better. In concert with HBO's documentary, I received a Tweet letting me know that Kaiser Permanente is launching the "most aggressive anti-obesity campaign in history."
They know that there are healthy fat people and unhealthy thin people. They know that not a shred of research shows that any method of weight loss works in the long term. They know that research shows us that we could vastly increase health by providing access to healthy foods, safe movement options, and affordable/free evidence based health care. Nobody is obligated to be healthy or thin; however, I wonder how many people would make different choices if they knew they just need 30 minutes of moderate movement 5 days a week? If they knew that people who choose simple healthy habits have very similar health outcomes regardless of weight. What would people choose if they knew they could abandon the goal of weight loss completely and they could still pursue health. America could be a successful role model for giving people access to health, but instead they are choosing to be a failed role model for thinness - waging war on people based on their appearance for tremendous profit and actively blaming the casualties of the war for the war's massive failures.
Let's be clear - they are pathologizing a body size. It doesn't matter if they say that we need to seek solutions environmentally instead of at the individual level, or if they say that we should have "compassion" for fat people – they are still telling people that is is not ok to exist in fat bodies and that they should see fat bodies as a threat to America. There are tons of thin people who eat unhealthy foods and are sedentary (which is completely their right), but as far as the government is concerned, as long as you are thin you're part of the "solution," feel free to do whatever you want. They want people to look at me (and you, if you're fat) and think "She is part of a catastrophe. She is threatening almost every aspect of our lives. The first step toward ending the damage is learning how to fight back against her."

i am posting this after the questions i have received about "yolo" etc and i felt this quote explained a lot of my annoyance. in my mind, the ways that white people consume hip hop, they still do not fully get it or understand it and their imitations will always fall short and twist and convoluted the meaning. because the majority of white people cannot in any way acknowledge or recognize or respect Black pain, the cannot know black pleasure. these are two concepts found heavily within hip hop, even the heavily commodified corporate shit has grains of it in there. and white consumers, even the most ardent of hip hop heads, will never hear or understand the words written by Black artists the same way because of that. they do not understand or acknowledge our pain and they quite often revel in it or ask us to be silent about it or to ignore it or get over it.
Houston judge Lanny Moriarty • On his decision to sentence a 17-year-old honor student, who (since her parents divorced and both skipped town) has had to work both a full and a part time job just to support two siblings, to spend a day in jail, after she missed school recently. Diane Tran, who also takes dual-credit college-level courses, says that she's often so tired that she finds it difficult to wake up for school. But that didn't sway Moriarty, who chose to make an example of Tran. If you think this sucks, we direct you to this Change.org petition.

Afghanistan has often enough been called "the graveyard of empires." Americans have made it a habit to whistle past that graveyard, looking the other way — a form of obliviousness much aided by the fact that the American war dead conveniently come from the less well known or forgotten places in our country. They are so much easier to ignore thanks to that.
Except in their hometowns, how easy the war dead are to forget in an era when corporations go to war but Americans largely don't. So far, 1,980 American military personnel (and significant but largely unacknowledged numbers of private contractors) have died in Afghanistan, as have 1,028 NATO and allied troops, and (despite U.N. efforts to count them) unknown but staggering numbers of Afghans."—Tomgram: Engelhardt, The Road to Amnesia | TomDispatch (via warriorsrise)

In our household, homeschooling makes us very flexible with times for classes. I wasn't homeschooled and the morning came early on my senior year. We had to catch the bus a little after 6 am. In England they are considering giving high-school teens a late start for classes, starting around 11 AM. Dr Paul Kelley, of Monkseaton High School in North Tyneside, said continuous early starts created "teenage zombies" in the classroom.

NFL Preview: Analysis of all 32 teams
Check out our NFL preview, with a look at all 32 teams entering the 2013 season.
Image 8 of 32
PITTSBURGH STEELERS( Brad Mills-USA TODAY Sports / August 19, 2013 )
Last Season: 8-8, 3-3 division
Playoffs: Missed the postseason
Stat Leaders: QB Ben Roethlisberger (3,265 YDS, 26 TDS, 8 INTS); RB Jonathan Dwyer (623 YDS, 2 TDS); WR Mike Wallace (836 YDS, 8 TDS); LB Larry Foote (113 TACKLES, 4.0 SACKS)
The Buzz: Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has passed for more than 3,200 yards for five consecutive seasons, but he'll have to find a way to reach the milestone again this season without his top receiver following Mike Wallace's move to Miami. Big Ben has coped relatively well with some brutal hits during his career, but he needs help to make a playoff run. The rushing rotation could get a big boost from former Michigan State star running back Le'Veon Bell, who is expected to immediately take on a featured role within the offense. The Steelers' defense gave up the fewest offensive yards of any NFL team last season, but they need to force more turnovers after ranking No. 28 interceptions and No. 19 in fumble recoveries.
Luck Factor: Big Ben always makes the Steelers dangerous, but it will take luck to get help this group go from good to great.

Putting An End to Angry ADHD Outbursts
"During arguments, I often get mad and say things I don't mean. Last night I said something very hurtful to my husband about his mother. How can I repair the damage and learn to control my mouth?"
The best way to make amends is to apologize. Just remember that a good apology has no "but" at the end.
As for avoiding similar incidents in the future, it's often helpful to "prepare" for arguments that are likely to arise. Make a list of the ongoing issues that tend to trigger disagreements between you and your husband, and consider how you would like to resolve these matters. On which points are you willing to compromise? On which points are you unwilling to do so?
Learn to cut your anger short before you slip into a blind rage — and risk saying something you'll regret. The tip-off might be a tightening in your stomach or a clenching in your jaw. If you notice that your anger is escalating, ask if you can finish talking later, and go for a walk, take a bath, or do something else to cool off. Whatever you do, try not to dredge up past hurts or stoop to name-calling—especially about a family member of the person with whom you're arguing.

US Media Compares Sachin Tendulkar With Mahatma Gandhi
Uploaded by: MoviezAddA

India is undoubtedly flooding with hoots and cheers while our legendary player Sachin Tendulkar plays his last cricket match but well, the US media too doesn't wish to lie back when it's Sachin in the limelight! Apparently, having praised the ace player for all his dedication and contribution to cricket, one of the portals of the US media stated an honorable statement comparing the God of cricket to the inspirational idol, Mahatma Gandhi! Crowns to be a big compliment right? Well, elaborating on the statement, it read that like how Gandhi held the nation in thrall, its Sachin who follows the league and holds the grip of the whole nation! Woah! Seems like the Gandhian era has left back The Tendulkar! What say viewers? 3 cheers for Sachin!!!

Lots of news in the Observers this week. This week's back issue on the web site is huge historically, as WCW had just taken the lead in the Monday Night Wars and WWF filed a lawsuit against them for the portrayal of Kevin Nash & Scott Hall. It was big at the time, and ended up even bigger historically. The wording of the lawsuit is almost hilarious when you consider how the booking turned out.
-- Dana White's statement to Ariel Helwani on this week's UFC on FS1 ratings:
"We were #1 on all of cable with M18-34 and M18-49. We also beat the US Open and the Detroit vs Red Sox MLB game. This is all part of the building process. We've made a commitment to work with FOX to build this network. If you look at all of the other networks we've ever been on we consistently pull strong ratings. The first time we put our prelims on FX we pulled 880K viewers and it grew, depending on the fight, up to 1.9 million viewers for UFC 156. Also, the TUF season with Carwin and Big Country averaged 822K viewers then Jones vs Sonnen averaged 1.3 million viewers. We currently hold the top 4 most watched telecasts on FS1 since the network launched. To be honest, our Prelim and Fight Night numbers weren't bad considering we started on the west coast at 2pm in the afternoon on a Wednesday. The most important thing is last night's fights were awesome and this season of TUF is great. Yes, we didn't pull the 1 million + but we will. But, we also fucked up last night by not starting the main event later so that we could get a live lead into TUF. The bottom line is FOX couldn't be happier with the UFC and the ratings we're pulling. And we couldn't be happier with the way we've been treated by the network."
-- Funny trivia: Apparently, creative found out the Mark Henry update by reading our front page. The communication within the company has been the source of comedy for awhile now.
-- Hulk Hogan interview here talking TNA, WWE, his career and more. He claims he has virtually no real input into anything in TNA outside of some last-minute tweaking (in other interviews he's admitted to changing entire storylines at the last minute), and also claims it takes TEN YEARS to develop a character. It's an interesting read.
-- So after last night, next week's Impact has Bully Ray vs. Mr. Anderson for the title (I love that Mr. Anderson got eliminated from the all-important Battle Royal to earn A CHANCE to get a shot at the title, and then 30 minutes later he's got a shot at the title anyway), Austin Aries vs. AJ Styles in a Bound for Glory Series semi-final, and Bobby Roode vs. Magnus in the other semi-final.

-- From the promoter: World Series of Fighting 5's two-and-a-half-hour NBCSN telecast airs live thirty minutes earlier than previously reported at 9:00 p.m. ET/6:00 p.m. PT. The main card features a heavyweight slugfest between sambo master Andrei "The Pit Bull" Arlovski (19-10) and AKA product Mike "MAK" Kyle (20-9-1) serves as the evening's main event.
-- Awesome Kong/Karma was on Double Divas this past Tuesday on Lifetime being fitted for a better sports bra. Thanks to Mike.
-- Paul writes: Not sure if it's been reported or if it's exclusive to BellTV subscribers in Canada but they are offering a "championship package", which includes UFCs 165,166,167 and 168 for the price of 3 PPVs. All in HD and the total cost is $179.97. If people are Bell subscribers, they can get details on channel 1450.
-- The Total Divas taping in Florida that took place a few days ago was for the REUNION SPECIAL which all reality shows do. You know, reuniting all the cast members who are on the road with each other four days a week all year round.
-- While I don't know this, my guess is that Tyson Kidd's in-ring return tonight in Montreal will be part of a storyline on one of the upcoming episodes of Total Divas.
-- For I think the first time ever, the Thursday Bryan & Vinny Show with Granny's segment and the full Impact review is a FREE DOWNLOAD here.
-- Want to work for Impact Wrestling? They're looking for a social media manager.
-- A few days ago we had a mailbag question about why Rock had never done anything for WWE Films. The answer was that WWE Films never had the budget to afford him. Well, only a few days later comes this.
-- Former Strikeforce star Lavar Johnson has signed with Bellator.

LANSING, MI (WTVB) - State Senator Bruce Caswell's legislation designed to protect agricultural property tax assessments from artificial inflation was signed into law this week by Michigan Governor Rick Snyder. The bill specifies which parcels of property may be considered as agricultural property in the sales ratio studies used by assessors to determine the property tax assessments. Caswell's legislation excludes parcels from the sales ratio studies that do not have an affidavit attesting to continued use as agricultural land filed by the purchaser of an agricultural parcel.
Caswell says for too many years, farmers have seen property tax assessments on their property increase because the land value has been compared to agricultural property purchased by developers at a higher price. He said his bill ensures that the assessments on farm land will be based on the market value of other parcels of farm land, not the value of farm land sold for housing, commercial uses, or industrial development.

Interview with Soren Jacobsen
A couple of weeks ago, Guillaume Lasmayous and I threw the idea of interviewing NetBSD developers through our website, NetBSDfr, to promote the NetBSD Project, and to make their work known to the widest possible audience.
Today, we are discussing with Soren Jacobsen,
snj@, NetBSD 5.0 release engineer.
pkg_install update
The current version of pkg_install has been included in the latest NetBSD release branch. This post highlights some of the many changes and improvements made to pkg_install.[Read More] [0 comments]
End of life for 3.x
In keeping with NetBSD's policy of supporting only the current (5.x) and next most recent (4.x) release branches, the release of 5.0 marks the end of life for the 3.x branches. We have provided an extra month of support for 3.x in order to give people time to migrate their machines to a newer release, and this one month period will be part of our support policy in the future.
The following branches will no longer be maintained:
- netbsd-3-0
- netbsd-3-1
- netbsd-3
This means:
- There will be no more pullups to the branches (even for security issues)
- There will be no security advisories made for any of the 3.x releases
- The existing 3.x releases on ftp.NetBSD.org will be moved into /pub/NetBSD-archive/
Here's hoping 5.0 serves you all as well (but preferably much better) as 3.0 did![0 comments]
Announcing NetBSD 5.0
On behalf of the NetBSD developers, I am proud to announce that NetBSD 5.0, the thirteenth release of the NetBSD operating system, is now available.
NetBSD 5.0 features greatly improved performance and scalability on modern multiprocessor (SMP) and multi-core systems. Multi-threaded applications can now efficiently make use of more than one CPU or core, and system performance is much better under I/O and network load.
This improved performance is the result of a rewritten threading subsystem based on a 1:1 threading model, new kernel synchronization primitives, kernel preemption, a rewritten scheduler implementation, real-time scheduling extensions, processor sets, and dynamic CPU sets for thread affinity. Almost all core kernel subsystems, like virtual memory, memory allocators, file system frameworks for major file systems, and others were audited and overhauled to make use of highly concurrent algorithms.
In addition to scalability and performance improvements, a significant number of major features have been added. Some highlights are: a preview of metadata journaling for FFS file systems (known as WAPBL, Write Ahead Physical Block Logging), the 'jemalloc' memory allocator, the X.Org X11 distribution instead of XFree86 on a number of ports, the Power Management Framework, ACPI suspend/resume support on many laptops, write support for UDF file systems, the Automated Testing Framework, the Runnable Userspace Meta Program framework, Xen 3.3 support for both i386 and amd64, POSIX message queues and asynchronous I/O, and many new hardware device drivers.
For full details, please see the 5.0 release notes.
Complete source and binaries for NetBSD 5.0 are available for download at many sites around the world. A list of download sites providing FTP, AnonCVS, and other services may be found at http://www.NetBSD.org/mirrors/[0 comments]
News from the 5.0 front
Today, on the 16th birthday of NetBSD, I have the pleasure of announcing the availability of NetBSD 5.0_RC3.
Below are some highlighted changes since RC2:
- Considerable improvements to WAPBL.
- Further X.Org refinements, including switching sgimips to X.Org.
- Scheduler Activations support is now disabled by default in sysctl.conf.
- ddb.onpanic is now set to 1 in the kernel by default, but 0 in sysctl.conf. This avoids trying to dump if a crash occurs during the install phase.
- puffs is now enabled by default on amd64, i386, macppc, and sparc64.
- SSP kernels should work again.
- A handful of assorted stability improvements.

Hello, I saw your post about Miss vicky goes on another rant. I know who you are referring to, and the funny thing is I feel also the same about her. I thought I was the only one
Well, the purpose of that post wasn't to criticize anyone specifically - it was really just to express my opinion that a college education (though not the be-all and end-all of everything) can truly be a gift. As you know, though, the post refers to two people - the one who had been described as shallow, and the one who seems to be making a career out of coming to that person's defense. I'm trying very hard not to dismiss the latter as simply a flake, but rather to have a little compassion on the off chance that the poor dear really doesn't have a whole lot else to do. There are certainly worse things she could be doing, and considering the amount of time I spend on Tumblr, and the fact that my blog's typical content is not exactly deep, I shouldn't be throwing stones. Not to mention the fact that I don't know either of these people personally, so I really shouldn't judge. Anyway, that's the long answer. The short answer is no, you're not the only one.
P.S. Again, if for some incomprehensible reason someone might want to reblog this, please don't reveal any identities. There's really no point, and I'm not sure I'm up for too much controversy today.

Directed by Professor Karen Wilson, the production has a clean, elegant simplicity to it. When the curtains open, the cast stands huddled in the midst of fog, soft singing drifting out to the audience. Soon the musical gets underway, and stage takes on the aspect of the inner-city, with pictures of run-down buildings flying down into the background. The furniture that appeared in the show rolled in and out, leaving a completely open stage.
This sparse scenery left much of the scene-painting to the company's excellent performance. Moving from city street to business office and from classroom to country road, they never dropped a beat. As an ensemble, the cast had a great rhythm, but at times this perfect synchrony felt too perfect, originating from the simplistic us-or-them model of humanity that composer/lyricist Willy Russell puts forth.
The play posits two worlds, one rich and one poor, that rarely overlap and only with terrible results. Their clean precision belies the obvious dirtiness of the whole mess. Passive attempts are made to vilify the rich and romanticize the poor.
To a degree, I enjoyed the tack that the show took towards emphasizing similarity rather than difference. When stepping into the shoes of poor people, the cast looked as clean cut as anyone walking into Fireside on the average day at St. Olaf. However, at the end of the play, it just didn't sit right. Separating rich and poor completely, misguidedly acknowledges the fundamental difficulty of reconciliation. Making the rich and poor so similar seems to imply that the affluent have a basic understanding of the poor already.
However, among the cast, Camryn Reynolds '09, as Mrs. Johnstone, the mother of the twins, gave an excellent performance. It represented in some ways a departure for her, who I remember most strongly as the heavily sensual grandmother in "Pippin," produced during Jan.uary of 2006. Hellen Hassinger '09 plays Mrs. Lyons, a barren woman who adopts one of the twins, telling her husband it's their own. Musically, her performance is strong, but she could do more to define the character.
I felt like I was supposed to hate her, but I could neither muster the emotion nor decide exactly how the show wanted me to despise this woman. Daniel Greco '09, as Mr. Lyons, made a stark departure from his role as the happy-go-lucky fascist narrator in "Urinetown" (fall 2006). Like Reynolds, he demonstrates impressive range as an actor.
Narrator Cameron Doran '11 also gave a strong musical performance, his rich baritone lending a nice creepiness to the scene. The twins, Mickey (Peter Politis '11) and Eddie (Travis Chantar '09), had probably the most difficult roles in the production. Martha Stuckey '09, as the center of their love triangle, also faces the same issues. They created an interesting evolution from children to adults, aided by an excellent ensemble, moving often between neighborhood children and adults around the neighborhood.
Moving into adulthood, the cast maintained a certain childishness that added an interesting dimension to the production. At one point, Mickey attacks his brother, claiming that Eddie never had to grow up, but life intervened and forced him to do so. The eventual course of their lives, combined with the vestiges of childhood that remain in the actors seem to suggest that it was in fact Mickey who failed to grow up. While an interesting position, I felt it trivialized Mickey's worth as a human being, to reduce his actions to childish, unwarranted outbursts.
At the end of the first act, I found the free-moving, unobtrusive set an apt metaphor for the production. We can easily sweep issues of poverty off the stage of our lives and forget about them. At the end of the show, I felt less certain. Pieces of this show will stick in your mind, in many ways drawing inexorably back to the essential divide between rich and poor. In any event, the show does an excellent job with themes of betrayal and destiny.

Home Insurance is often referred to as hazard or homeowners insurance and is a type of property insurance that primarily covers privately owned homes. Home insurance policies can include personal insurance protections but is more commonly used to cover any losses within the household, in particular, its contents as well as covering liability insurance for any accidents that may occur to the home. There is very little things in live that are as important as out home and today it is very important to have home insurance to cover, especially as one in three homes get burgled at some point. Moreover, home insurance can be beneficial to homeowners, renters as well as landlords. As with all insurances there are different policies which can be tailored to best suit your needs.
There are two main types of private home insurance that is the most beneficial, building insurance and contents insurance. Building insurance will insure not only your home but the land as well. While the land underneath your home is not under threat from storms or theft, often the land is the third of the total value of your property; therefore, it is important to insure both your house and the land on which it stands on. Building your house can often cost less than buying another, as the land is often intact and unharmed. Insurance companies often cover the cost of rebuilding your home not the market value of your home.
The other home insurance available is contents insurance. This insurance policy will cover the furniture, appliances and any other possessions you own that are in your home. Often insurers require you to produce a checklist of the contents within your home and define these contents into a 'sum insured'. It is advised to not under insure your contents, while it may produce a cheaper insurance policy it will affect the maximum amount an insurer will pay out. For example, if your home contents amount to £20,000 but you insure you contents for £10,000, that will be the maximum amount your insurer will pay out and this will not cover all of your contents.
However, if you feel that you need both insurance covers, most insurance companies combine both insurance policies and even offer discounts if you take out both policies.

WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAU) - A Thursday evening police chase in Wausau and Weston has led to the arrest of the driver and the vehicle damaged from entering the ditch.
Wausau Police Lieutenant Dwayne Dachel says the chase started after an officer observed what he thought was a drug deal. "We had been given information that drug deals were taking place in the area, and an officer observed what he suspected to be a drug deal and he went to stop the vehicle. The vehicle failed to stop, and the pursuit ensued, and we ended up catching him down in Weston."
The name of the suspect hasn't been released, but Dachel says he is a male in his twenties. Dachel says other people were in the vehicle when it entered the ditch. "There were three people in the vehicle. One person is being charged, the driver's being charged."
The chase ended in Weston on Kersten Road, which is also County Highway SS.
Dachel says the man in custody is not Peter Yang, who got away from officers earlier in the day in a separate incident. Yang fled on foot from a vehicle near 5th and Adams Streets, and is still at large and possibly armed. Police are encouraging people to call them if they know Yang's location.
