(JTA) — Martin Peretz has been dropped as a speaker from a Harvard University event.
Peretz, the editor in chief of The New Republic and a former Harvard professor, had been scheduled to speak at the 50th anniversary celebration of the Committee on Degrees in Social Studies, scheduled for Sept. 25, according to the Harvard Crimson, the university's student newspaper.
But the final schedule for the program does not list Peretz as a speaker. He is to be recognized, however, along with several other head tutors and directors of studies.
Peretz raised hackles recently for writing on a New Republic blog post that Muslims do not value human life or deserve free speech.
"Muslim life is cheap, especially to other Muslims," he wrote in the Sept. 4 post.

EURAXESS Researchers in Motion
European commission > Euraxess > About this site
The EURAXESS Jobs Portal
Welcome to the EURAXESS - Researchers in Motion portal, a joint initiative of the European Commission and the countries participating in the European Union's Framework Programme for Research.
EURAXESS is a unique European Research Area (ERA) initiative providing access to a complete range of information and support services for European and non-European researchers wishing to pursue research careers in Europe. It offers access to the job market; assists researchers in advancing their careers in another European country and supports research organisations in their search for outstanding research talent. EURAXESS is a truly pan-European initiative, supported by 40 participating countries across Europe.
The EURAXESS portal is composed of four main sections devoted to four specific initiatives for researchers:
EURAXESS Jobs is a stress-free recruitment tool where no charges apply.
Researchers can find a wealth of constantly updated information on job vacancies, funding opportunities and fellowships throughout Europe. Posting their CV will allow recruiters to find them.
Companies or research institutes can post vacancies free of charge and search for the CVs of international top-notch researchers.
Users can also directly access the national EURAXESS portals of the partner countries which contain information on research job and funding opportunities, as well as on personalised services in each country.
EURAXESS Services is a network of more than five hundred Service Centres located in 40 European countries.
These Centres help researchers and their family to plan and organise their move to a foreign country. This free personalised assistance helps researchers tackle issues such as accommodation, visa and work permits, language lessons, schools for their children, social security and medical care.
A team of well-informed staff is at their service.
EURAXESS Rights provides all information regarding the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers, which aim at setting out rules and obligations of researchers, their employers and funders, as well as transparent and fair recruitment procedures through the Human Resources Strategy. Besides, information about Entry conditions as well as social security and pensions.
The Charter sets out the rights and duties of researchers, as well as research- and funding.
The Code aims at ensuring equal treatment of all researchers in Europe and increases transparency in their recruitment.
EURAXESS Links is a networking tool for European researchers working outside Europe and non-European ones wishing to collaborate and/or pursue a research career in Europe.
EURAXESS Links is established in four ASEAN countries (i.e. Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand), Brazil, China, India, Japan and North-America.
The electronic newsletter EURAXESS is available on the EURAXESS web-sites and keeps researchers, research institutions, universities and industry informed on the latest developments.
The EURAXESS - Researchers in Motion project is managed by:

About the city
Winding lanes & the glittering sea
Cervo's old central district is really unique. The winding lanes beckon the vacationer to take a stroll. No matter whether you go right through the middle of town or you take the way round on the outside, you will always end at the centre of the old town district from whatever direction you come – that is the Serafino bar. From there one can enjoy the wonderful view over the Via Aurelia, as well as the glittering turquoise blue sea. After a sylish breakfast of Cappucino and Focaccia you can then make a wonderful start to the sunny day at the beach.
Enjoy the special charm in a residential unit and immerse yourself into the magic of the medieval life of this picturesque village by the sea.
The Throne of Cervo
The village is dominated by the picturesquely majestic-looking parish church of San Giovanni Battista. This is one of the most important and most significant architectural testimonies of the baroque era in Liguria. The Clavasana-Castle towers on a rock high up on the peak of the hill. The castle was modified several times during the last century. It was used for defensive purposes in the past, but today the ethnographic museum for Western Riviera stands there.
I borghi piú belli d´italia
Not many localities get this title, but only "the most beautiful villages in Italy". This small car-free town with its medieval fortress lies between San Bartolomeo al Mare and Andora. Cervo forms a pleasant contrast to the lively bustling coast. It is located on a hill which slopes gently to the sea!
What is there worth seeing?
The "Castello di Clavesana" castle is located on the less protected side of the mountain. This can be viewed today just like the city museum. Constantly changing special exhibitions take place there. Another thing you should not miss is the gallery. It is found in a partly restored church in the old central district in Cervo.
The Village Centre
Every summer the forecourt of the church is transformed into a wonderful open-air platform for the International Festival of Chamber Music. The village centre is formed by two- to three-storied houses lined up one after the other. Almost all the buildings have ancient arcades on the ground floor, which have hardly changed over the centuries. Shady and winding lanes meander between the rows of buildings.
Eating and Drinking in Cervo
The "Porteghetto" restaurant (Via Aurelia 9) has a unique location by the sea. One can enjoy local fish specialties there, in addition to the view of the sea. Be ready to become mesmerized in a culinary way!
The "Le Nereidi" restaurant (Via alla Foce 21) also offers fish dishes. However, one can also find pasta and other dishes on the menu card. The food is prepared creatively according to the motto, "the eye eats too" – not just pleasure for the palate!
Typical pasta dishes and pizzas can be found in the traditional "A Veggia Baracca" restaurant (Via Circonvallazione a Ponente 3). They also prepare meat and fish dishes. You can enjoy the meal in a family atmosphere on the terrace or in the restaurant garden.
The"Serafino" Café Restaurant is recommended not only for its fantastic viewing terrace but also for dinner. One should for once absolutely stop over during a stroll through the old city centre and enjoy one's coffee there as well as the view of the wide sea.
What to do
Cervo's Beaches
You can find many free sections of the beach in this coastal resort. They are predominantly gravel and rock beaches, but even sand and gravel are there. One can enjoy a fantastic panoramic view of the old city centre of Cervo from the sea.
Explore the natural environment
Whoever spends his summer holiday in beautiful Cervo and likes going out for walks, can very well do it here too. A wonderful road leads from the castle square through olive grooves and dense sprucewood. The olive grooves in particular are an important product for the Ligurian region. If you are lucky you can observe the locals harvesting olives. This is done every year according to an ancient tradition. At the end of the road you will get out at the Ciappá-Park, which will give you a wonderful view over the Gulf of Diano.

We liked Riu, the staff was great and the facilities were good
We were however, disappointed in the quality of the food and the evening shows were second rate
The pool and drinks are good. The beach is nice but not close to as nice as other beaches nearby.
Most of the food is buffet only and extremely greasy. Even the non-buffet food is pre-prepared and not very good. They will not accommodate vegetarians. The beach is extremely rocky. Water activities are outsourced to another company, and doing anything requires reservations in advance and a walk away from the beach. Overall this is not a good value or experience as compared to staying in a non-all-inclusive somewhere else in Costa Rica with a better beach and eating out.
We liked everything about our stay. Our only disappointment was that we did not stay longer. The property was perfectly maintained, the food was excellent and the service was fantastic. We would definitely recommend this hotel to friends and family. Nice calm quiet beach and a beautiful large pool area. Perfect getaway!
No complaints. Everything was perfect!
The grounds were impeccable. The staff was professional, amiable and well groomed. They treated every one like they owned the Casa Conde Del Mar.
nice location, friendly staff.
a bit dated rooms. small bathrooms
The beach was only a few minutes drive/walk away. The staff, especially the front desk guy, was very nice and helpful. Breakfast is pretty good as well.
Pools were nice
Room was just okay

As a regional wholesale provider of potable water, North
Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD) is committed to
meeting the current and future water supply needs of its
Member Cities and Customers. Water rates are set at cost,
no profits are included, and no taxes are collected.
The population served by the NTMWD currently stands at
over 1.6 million people and is expected to more than double
by 2070 to 3.7 million residing inside the NTMWD service
area, according to the initially prepared state water plan.
NTMWD has identified additional raw water supplies to
meet the future water demands over the planning period.
These identified water management strategies are included
in the 2016 Initially Prepared Region C Water Plan
(http://www.regioncwater.org) For NTMWD, the top two
additional water supply sources that will help meet the
projected water needs through 2040 are the Trinity Main
Stem Pump Station and the Lower Bois d'Arc Creek
Reservoir project. Other identified water supply strategies
vary from a diversity of sources including: conservation and
reuse, connecting to existing water supplies, and/or
new reservoirs.
NTMWD obtains its raw water supplies from Lavon Lake,
Lake Texoma, Jim Chapman Lake, Lake Tawakoni, the
Upper Sabine Basin, Lake Bonham and reuse of treated
wastewater effluent from its Wilson Creek Regional
Wastewater Treatment Plant, and the East Fork Raw Water
Supply Project.
During the 2011 to 2015 North Texas drought, NTMWD was
unable to use 28% of available water supply due to the
presence of an invasive species, the zebra mussel, in Lake
Texoma. NTMWD was able to continuously supply water
throughout the extended drought despite the loss of this
major water source by implementing a multi-faceted
response plan.
First, regional water consumption was reduced through strong cooperation with NTMWD Member Cities and Customers who successfully implemented the water resource management strategies included in their Drought Contingency and Water Emergency Response Plans. Second, NTMWD and its Member Cities sought legislative relief from the Lacy Act which culminated in the passage of the North Texas Zebra Mussel Barrier Act of 2012. Third, the NTMWD implemented in earnest the construction of the Lake Texoma Outfall to Wylie Water Treatment Plant (WTP) Raw Water Pipeline in order to deliver Lake Texoma water directly to the Wylie Water Treatment Plant allowing any present zebra mussels to be eradicated during the treatment process. Finally, in May 2013, NTMWD began temporarily purchasing additional raw water, up to 60 million gallons per day, from Dallas Water Utilities for a 3-year term. Reservoir levels began to slowly recover in 2014, and the Texoma pipeline project was placed into service during the summer of 2014, restoring NTMWD supply at a critical time during drought. The reservoirs finally filled to full conservation pool levels in 2015, a year when several rainfall records for Texas were exceeded. In May 2015, NTMWD was able to end drought plan restrictions and transition into the NTMWD Water Conservation Plan (February 2014), allowing consumers to irrigate their lawns up to twice per week if needed.
During the 2014-2105 Water Year (August 2014 – July 2015) NTMWD treated and delivered 80 billion gallons of water, a decrease in delivery of 4% as compared to 83.6 billion gallons delivered during the 2013-2014 Water Year, with Member Cities utilizing 83% of the total supply delivered and the remaining 17% being utilized by the NTMWD Customers.
As of September 30, 2015, construction contracts for the Water System totaled over $616 million. Major projects included: the Lake Texoma Outfall to Wylie Water Treatment Plant (WTP) Raw Water Pipeline; Wylie WTPs I, II, III, and IV Ozonation; Trinity Main Stem Pump Station and Raw Water Pipeline; Wylie WTP II Clearwell and Disinfection Improvements; the NTMWD Administrative Building Structural Repairs, Building Renovations, and Building Addition, Tasks 2 and 3; the Wylie WTP Finished Water Reservoir and Flow Metering Improvements; the North McKinney Pipeline, Phases I and II; and the Lake Tawakoni WTP.
Enhancement to the water treatment process at the Wylie WTP include ozonation. With the ozonation project completed and fully operational in 2014, NTMWD now operates the largest ozonated water treatment plant in the United States.
Construction projects at the Wylie WTPs included: Wylie WTP east gate improvements and complex chemical system improvements phases 1A and 1B; Wylie WTP I conversion to biologically active filtration (BAF), improvements to existing drain, and 2.5 MGD and 3.0 MGD reservoir roof improvements; Wylie WTP II improvements to Basins 3 and 4; Wylie WTP III filter and underdrain improvements, conversion to BAF, and lagoon improvements; Wylie WTP III variable frequency drives for washwater pumps; High Service Pump Station No. 1-1 electrical improvements; and High Service Pump Stations 2-2 and 2-3 electrical and mechanical improvements. Many of the projects are multi-year projects.
Pump Station projects included: Farmersville Pump Station No. 2; modifications to the Lake Texoma Pump Station; Shiloh Pump Station improvements; Raw Water Pump Station No. 3 expansion; Lake Lavon Raw Water Pump Station intake channel improvements; and the Lake Chapman Pump Station electrical improvements.
Additional construction projects included: North McKinney pipeline phases I and II; south delivery point improvements, priority No. 2; 42-inch and 24-inch waterline relocation along Stacy Road (FM 2786) from SH 5 (Greenville Drive) to FM 1378 (Country Club Road); Rockwall No. 2 flow meter improvements; Chapman Lake water access Task B (dredging); sludge lagoon improvements at Lake Tawakoni WTP and Bonham WTP; 121 site facility water transmission pipeline relocation at SH 121; 20" and 60" north section of FM 2514 and FM 1378; Wylie to Farmersville 36" pipeline; Plano No. 4 delivery point metering station upgrade; Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) System upgrades and operations; the Water System Maintenance Facilities south region, phase 1; and the Environmental Building HVAC system repairs.

After upgrading to 2.6.1, the stats for raoulpop.com got split into two accounts.
Here's what I did: I disabled all plugins before the upgrade, upgraded, then enabled them. I was then asked to re-enter my API key for WP Stats, then to associate my site with an existing domain from the drop-down menu. I chose http://www.raoulpop.com (of course).
Now I see that there are two raoulpop.com domains listed among my stats in the WordPress Global Dashboard, and that my stats got split among the two domains.

All Rise...
Appellate Judge James A. Stewart has a dollar bill pinned inside his coat.
Editor's Note
Our reviews of Maverick: The Complete First Season (published July 8th, 2012), Maverick: The Complete Third Season (published November 9th, 2013), and Maverick: The Complete Fourth Season (published February 20th, 2014) are also available.
The Charge
"The one thing we don't do is kill each other."—Bart Maverick, on the relationship with his brother Bret
Opening Statement
In a poker game, Bart and Bret Maverick don't even trust each other, but they are brothers, so they do help each other out from time to time. Usually, though, these professional gamblers go their separate ways for some often oddball Western adventures.
During his adventures in Maverick: The Complete Second Season, Bret Maverick (James Garner, The Rockford Files) beats up Batman (Adam West) and Dirty Harry (Clint Eastwood), and meets up with a future relation (Roger Moore, Live and Let Die). Bart (Jack Kelly, Forbidden Planet) feeds his horse oysters and finds that trusting banks isn't such a good investment.
Facts of the Case
Maverick: The Complete Second Season features twenty-six episodes on six discs.
Disc One
• "The Lonesome Reunion"—Bret is hired to protect a hatbox. When he's held up, he finds that it contains, of all things, a hat. Still, it could provide a clue to a $120,000 heist.
• "Alias Bart Maverick"—Gentleman Jack Darby (Richard Long, The Big Valley) is wanted by the law, but not by Bart, especially when he takes the Maverick brother's identity and leaves the gambler in jail as Darby.
• "The Belcastle Brand"—Bret has a rough time earning his keep as a cowhand at Belcastle Castle, until there's a bear safari afoot. After a robbery leaves the party stranded, Bret shows his true vocation: survival.
Disc Two
• "Escape in Tampico"—Bret takes a liking to the casino owner who he's been hired to bring back to the States to face a murder charge.
• "The Judas Mask"—A can-can girl steals Bart's poker winnings, but she's trying to break the gambler's business deal.
• "The Jail at Junction Flats"—Dandy Jim Buckley isn't in just any jail. He's been locked up in the lockup that's been fortified after the escape of Hognose Hughes (Dan Blocker, Bonanza).
Disc Three
• "Shady Deal at Sunny Acres"—Bret's whittling away at a problem—the theft of $15,000 by a crooked banker—with some help from his friends (and Bart).
• "Island in the Swamp"—Set adrift, Bret winds up in a hidden bayou colony. Since the colonists want to stay hidden, he's stuck. Edgar Buchanan (Petticoat Junction) guests.
• "Prey of the Rat"—A broken leg strands Bart, but he's eager to get going fast when a rancher's wife falls for him.
Disc Four
• "Holiday at Hollow Rock"—Bart takes in a quarterhorse race on the Fourth of July, gets suspicions at a poker game, is robbed, and ends up in a fight in the sheriff's office. George O'Hanlon (The Jetsons) guests.
• "Game of Chance"—Bret gives up "valuable poker time" to help Bart when a countess leaves a fake pearl necklace as collateral for a $40,000 loan.
• "Gun-Shy"—Marshal Mort Dooley (Ben Gage, The Big Operator) tries to chase "a certain roving gambler" out of town, but Bret's hunting for gold, so he's not going anywhere.
Disc Five
• "The Rivals"—A wealthy man (Roger Moore, who later plays Beau Maverick) poses as Bret for a romantic encounter, but the woman would rather encounter the real Bret. Based on a Richard Brinsley Sheridan play.
• "Duel at Sundown"—Bret's friend (Edgar Buchanan again) wants to fix the gambler up with his daughter to distract her from Red (Clint Eastwood, Rawhide). Red's the best shot in the county—and he isn't easily distracted.
• "Yellow River"—Bart ends up leading a trail drive after his bank is robbed. (Put your winnings in your boot next time, Bart!) Soon, there's a woman whose father was killed—and another body turns up. Robert Conrad (The Wild, Wild West) guests.
• "The Saga of Waco Williams"—It's a tale of moral opposites as cowardly, money-grubbing Bret tags along with the brave, tough Waco Williams (Wayde Preston, Colt .45) in a town where homesteaders and ranchers are battling it out.
Disc Six
• "Passage to Fort Drum"—Bart's wagon train heads into the Black Hills, with gunmen pursuing a female passenger.
• "Two Tickets to Ten Strike"—Arriving in Ten Strike, Bret is asked to leave town as he learns that a female acquaintance (Connie Stevens, Hawaiian Eye) has been mysteriously drawn there.
• "Betrayal"—Bart suspects another passenger is an accomplice in a stage robbery when she tells the bandits where he hid his stash. (Might as well have left it in the bank, Bart.)
• "The Strange Journey of Jenny Hill"—Bret seems to be falling for a singer, but he's actually hoping to find her husband alive to clear Big Mike McCord (Leo Gordon, Beau Geste) of murder.
The Evidence
Although "The Hanging of Bret Maverick" sounds grim, it starts the season off on a rather comical note as Bret, in jail facing hanging, plays on the sheriff's greed as he has his last meal. James Garner backs his slyness up with a hint of fear. Throughout the season, Garner has a positively Chaplinesque knack for putting a little extra something in his face to express guilt, longing, or greed, bringing Bret's love for creature comforts (such as a cigar or a hot bath) to the fore while reminding us that his life isn't so comfortable, even though he often has thousands of dollars (albeit briefly). Jack Kelly's performance as Bart is more subtle, but it still allows room for comedy as he poses as the Earl of Bartley or upgrades himself to colonel to get into a poker game. At times, Kelly reminded me of the older, wiser Garner of The Rockford Files.
Season Two uses guest stars to good advantage, from Ben Gage as a Matt Dillon clone to Connie Stevens as a talky but goodhearted woman who vows to marry Bret. Semi-regulars including Efrem Zimbalist Jr, Richard Long, and Leo Gordon pop up throughout the season, giving Maverick the feeling of an ensemble show, even though most individual episodes focus on one or two characters. Just about every ensemble player pops up in "Shady Deal at Sunny Acres," though.
My favorite episode of the season was "The Saga of Waco Williams" because, unlike other Maverick companions who tend to be gamblers or con artists, Waco Williams turns out to be a good guy who puts Bret's faults into relief. Bret's watching Waco to find a fugitive and collect a reward, but he starts to take a protective interest as Waco's toughness and honesty gets him into trouble. By episode's end, they're friends. "The Belcastle Brand," which shows Bret as hardier than he looks, and "Two Beggars on Horseback," which pits the brothers against each other, were also favorites. No, I'm not ignoring "Gun-Shy" or "Shady Deal at Sunny Acres," both of which I've seen mentioned as among Maverick's high points, but there are a lot of high points in Season Two.
There's an occasional scratch in this standard def 1.33:1 black-and-white transfer, but it's mostly well-preserved, as you'd expect with an oft-rerun classic. The Dolby 2.0 Mono track serves the visuals adequately. There are no extras.
The Rebuttal Witnesses
One Bart episode—"Prey of the Rat"—descends into melodrama as he deals with a psychotic would-be lover, but it's the only real clinker of Season Two. There are a few serious episodes, including the strong "The Strange Journey of Jenny Hill," which might not interest a viewer looking mainly for comedy, but they usually have a few moments that tickle the funny bone.
You will notice that, despite a heavy dose of humor, Maverick is still a Western, with fights, gunplay, and heroes getting conked on the head.
Closing Statement
Whether you're already a fan of the series or are just curious, Maverick: The Complete Second Season is a good place to renew or strike up an acquaintance with the Maverick brothers. In Season Two, the series starts to feel like it's in its own universe—a greedy, deceitful universe in which the day Bret meets an honest man is comic episode fodder. "Shady Deal at Sunny Acres" goes a little better if you're familiar with the semi-regulars, but for the most part, it's something new viewers will get into easily.
The Verdict
Not guilty. How could you not like a coward tough enough to take on Batman and Dirty Harry and survive stranded in the desert?
Give us your feedback!
Did we give Maverick: The Complete Second Season a fair trial? yes / no
What's "fair"? Whether positive or negative, our reviews should be unbiased, informative, and critique the material on its own merits.

The instructions on HP's website indicate that this driver comes with Windows XP and does not need to be downloaded. I have the original CD that came with the printer, but that fails saying it is not compatible with Windows XP.
Every other manual way I try to add the printer, at some point asks me to insert the Windows XP CD to complete the process. I purchased this computer from a surplus at my place of employment and do not have the disc. I have searched everywhere to try and find a downloadable version of the driver.
Is there any other way to get this printer working?

Now that the season is over...discuss the impact of the draft on the season... Aldon Smith of course turned out to be a great pick...Kendall Hunter nice utility back, but I don't believe has the size to be a starting back, otherwise he would taken the starting job over Gore...Bruce Miller - good pick...I don't know why they stopped utilizing him as pass catcher or hardly used him for short yardage?? Culliver probably will be good..too early to tell.
What are your thoughts of the draft and how many of picks that were still around at the end of the season do you think will be on the roster next year?

Winter Haven Police Say They Have Gun Used in Slaying
Published: Monday, December 2, 2013 at 4:24 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, December 3, 2013 at 2:25 a.m.
WINTER HAVEN | The gun Adele Bing fired from her doorstep last week, fatally wounding her daughter, turned up Sunday, according to the Winter Haven Police Department.
The police wouldn't release other details Monday about where and how they recovered the weapon, citing an ongoing investigation into the shooting.
Winter Haven police did note that the money offered for information about the gun — up to $1,000 — wasn't rewarded to anyone.
Detectives had searched for the weapon since the death of Ruby Bing, 25, a mother of three. According to Winter Haven police, Adele Bing fired it the night of Nov. 25 from her doorstep and struck her daughter in the chest.
Officers found Ruby Bing outside her mother's home at 481 18th St. SE. She was holding her 4-month-old baby when she was shot, but the child was unharmed.
Adele Bing told officers she had been arguing with her boyfriend and thought he was at the front door when her daughter knocked, according to her arrest report. She said she armed herself with a baseball bat and a .22-caliber pistol that accidentally fired as she tried to open the door.
Bing, 52, remained jailed Monday in lieu of $41,000 bail on charges of second-degree murder, aggravated battery and two counts of child abuse without great bodily harm, according to the Polk County Jail.
When the shot was fired, Ruby Bing's 2-year-old child was seated in the car she drove to her mother's home, police said. Her third child was with a relative at the time.
The state Department of Children and Families said Monday that the 4-month-old and 2-year-old are with the father of one of the children. The 5-year-old child also is with a father.
A donation drive to benefit the children is scheduled for 2 to 5 p.m. Saturday at Avenue B Southwest and Fourth Street Southwest in Winter Haven, said Ta'Nika Ellington, the event organizer. The event will include food, music and an educational speaker.
Money donations will go toward the children's care, she said. She also is accepting Christmas presents and diapers.
For more information, Ellington can be reached at 863-844-2631.

SAN FRANCISCO The Supreme Court's decision on Friday to review California's same-sex marriage ban disappointed some Golden State gay couples who would have been able to wed if the court refused to hear the case.
If the court had not taken the case, a federal appeals court ruling that had overturned the ban would have been the law of the state, opening the way to same-sex marriages in California and leaving the nation unchanged.
Now the Supreme Court could decide whether -- or not -- the U.S. Constitutional guarantees gays the right to marry.
The stakes are now higher, the wait is longer, and there is no certainty gay rights advocates will win.
"I'm not going to lose hope and lose faith. The winds of change are upon us," said Elizabeth Chase, 30, an ad sales person who wants to marry her girlfriend and came to city hall to hear city leaders discuss court plans.
The Beaux-Arts city hall is a popular place for San Franciscans to marry, and heterosexual couples were tying the knot as city officials spoke.
"I've been waiting for three years to enjoy the same things these folks are enjoying," Chase said as she looked longingly at a bride in a long white dress marry her groom.
"I would be lying if I didn't say I was a little disappointed," Chief Deputy City Attorney Therese Stewart, who argued in court against Proposition 8, which was passed by voters in fall 2008. Stewart married a woman in summer 2008, before Prop 8 ended court-approved same-sex marriage.
"Am I nervous? Yeah. I am optimistic as well," she said.
Polls show a solid majority of Californians now approve of same-sex nuptials, but surveys also showed support before the 2008 vote that passed the gay marriage ban. In any case, there are plenty of opponents in the state.
"I'm Christian, so my belief has always been that marriage should be between a man and a woman," said Linda Garcia, 34, a resource specialist to help cancer patients, who was attending her brother's wedding.
Andy Pugno, a lawyer for the team defending Prop 8, hopes the Supreme Court will agree that this is a matter for states to decide. "So the Supreme Court's decision does not necessarily mark the end of the issue," he said.
That attitude keeps Sandy Stier, one of the plaintiffs who challenged the ban, ready to keep fighting. She and her partner, Kris Perry, told reporters on a conference call that they were not at all disappointed by the high court's move, since they wanted to change the nation.
"It is absolutely worth waiting for," said Stier.

Jennings talks about how great it would be to play for the Mavericks:
http://espn.go.com/blog/dallas/mavericks/post/_/id/4694617/brandon-jennings-on-dallas-who-wouldnt-want-to-play-in-an-environment-like-this?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitterHide replies
Since the first word came
that BJ was being 'courted' by Dallas I had visions of this
connection becoming real...It is a place in which the Players
are pampered unlike anywhere else in the Association if indeed
reports, and stories of Cuban's effort to fawn his players with all
the Four Star perks seen in the finest hotels continues. From locker room to private jet....the Dallas Mavericks leave nothing to the imagination.
And yet, with a stubborn, and at times seemingly ignorant young Buss
running L.A. the poetic reunion of Man and City and Team seem to much
to simply pass up as a mere whim...or in your case {zep}....'rumor'.
I'll miss BJ {zep}....I really will.
Why? Because this kidd in just in the budding stage,
and with the right coach, a few Man-Dogs around him,
and related 'winning nuances' I still feel this kidd will shine?
As the Master said,
..."We shall see"...
Bucks should make the qualifing offer to Jennings in hopes that they can work out some kind of sign-and-trade with the Mavs (or other team) involving young players and/or draft picks. It is obvious that Jennings no longer wants to play in Milwaukee. Let him walk. Fact is, Hammond should have traded him. The situation is toxic and will not improve.
Makes sense, Rules all, but don't you have to work out the sign and trade before you make that qualifying offer? What's to prevent the other team from backing out? that leaves us with a 12M$ toxic bag of Phenom.
My understanding is that the Bucks have to make a qualifying offer. That step guarantees that the Bucks have the right to match an offer from another team. If an offer from another team is made, the Bucks can match it, let Jennings walk, or try to work out a sign-and-trade. Also, once the Bucks make the qualifying offer (about $4.3 million), Jennings has the option to accept the offer, and then he'd become an unrestricted free agent after the 13-14 season. My main point for bringing it up is that I am sick of the guy. He doesn't want to be here. As a fan, I don't particularly want to cheer for him. I'd rather he would just leave, but it would be nice to get something (maybe draft picks) for him.
How is Jennings toxic? Where has he shown that? Please tell me? The guy just plays and plays hard an wants to win. How is that so bad? You can't tell me he doesn't deserve at least what Lawson or Holiday got?

We dodged the rain today and headed for the Savill Garden which is part of Windsor Great Park in the UK. I had my new Christmas toy - a D7000 - so I thought I'd post up one of my first attempts. I've a lot to learn with it (so many settings), having come from my old D50.
The sky was pretty much featureless and fairly harsh. I had quite a few images over exposed and I have to sort that out but that will come with more familiarity.

A nice composition - well done.
Keep in mind that on the new cameras, the noise floor has dropped immensely - this is where the dynamic range has been gained - you can underexpose quite a bit to maintain highlights and recover a terrific amount of shadow detail that is extremely clean.
I have also found that after switching to LR4 I have pretty much eliminated blown highlights with the exception of only the most extreme DR, (this was with my D200, btw). My D600 is bullet proof in this regard. Your D7k has around 4.5 stops more DR than the D50 and 3.5 more than my old D200 - you should find it really hard to overexpose.

Thanks for the feedback and advice David.
You have confirmed my feelings that I could look at erring towards underexposing without hitting noise problems. Yesterday I used Matrix metering but I may play around with other options.
I was desperate to get out yesterday and get a few shots in the bag and test it out. There wasn't too much to catch my eye but I thought the Dogwoods in this image gave a little colour.

The Great Safety Adventure arrives in Bowling Green.
The program provides an opportunity for children to learn how to protect themselves from household hazards by touring "Rover's House."
During the tour, children learn how to detect situations that could cause them harm like fire, poison and choking hazards.
The Great Safety Adventure is located at the Lowe's parking lot on Campbell Lane. It is free and open to the public through Sunday, Sept. 22, 2002.

Poison Prevention Tips
- Keep all household chemical products and medicines (especially iron pills and food supplements containing iron) out of sight of youngsters and, preferably, locked up when not in use. Medicines and household chemicals on kitchen counters or bathroom surfaces are very accessible to young children.
- When these products are in use, never let young children out of your sight, even if you must take them along when answering the telephone or the doorbell.
- Store all medicines separately from household products, and store all household chemical products away from food.
- Keep items in their original containers.
- Leave the original labels on all products, and read the label before using.
- Do not put decorative lamps and candles that contain lamp oil where children can reach them. Lamp oil ingestions by children can result in pneumonia and death.
- Always leave the light on when giving or taking medicines.
- Avoid taking medicine in front of children since youngsters tend to imitate grown-ups.
- Refer to medicine as "medicine," not "candy."
- Clean out the medicine cabinet periodically, and safely dispose of unneeded medicines when the illness for which they were prescribed is over. Pour contents down drain or toilet, and rinse container before discarding.
- Use child-resistant packaging properly by closing the container securely after its use.

FBI joins SEC in computer trading probe
By Kara Scannell in New York
The FBI has joined securities regulators to tackle the potential threat of market manipulation posed by sophisticated computer trading strategies that have taken markets beyond the scope of traditional policing.
FBI agents have joined forces with a new unit within the Securities and Exchange Commission that examines hedge funds and other firms that are using algorithm trading strategies.
The SEC's Quantitative Analytic s Unit is looking at abuses that might arise from the emergence of high-frequency trading firms and the use of dark pool (off exchange) trading. Traders using these methods can manipulate the market by flooding it with quotes, known as quote stuffing, or placing millions of orders that are quickly cancelled, to drive others to trade in ways that benefit their position, a practice known as layering.
Some of these trading strategies have been criticized of destabilizing the market and putting retail investors at a disadvantage. Their supporters have said they increase liquidity in securities and reduce volatility.
Sentiment: Strong Sell
WOW This is great news...Its about time the SEC and FBI do something about Hedge Funds and Billionaire investors like Carl Ichan that manipulate stocks and have secret and private talks with the CEO's. I believe these meetings should be public, not only for the big guys.
If you keep pushing them..... they might, at one point, taking their fingers out of their @@2ss....

Work will begin within days on stage one of the $51 million
redevelopment of the Cadbury Confectionery Ltd factory in
Dunedin, the company has announced.
The project, which aimed to convert the factory into a
"centre of excellence", would begin on Monday with work to
replace the roof of the factory's main manufacturing block,
Cadbury corporate communication manager Daniel Ellis said
The work included raising a portion of the roof, so a new,
larger caramel cooker could be installed, he said.
"This work is a key part of Cadbury's $51 million investment
to upgrade the Dunedin factory to become a `centre of
excellence' for the production of all chocolate assortments
for the New Zealand and Australian markets," he said.
The announcement comes seven months after Cadbury management
revealed plans for the $51 million development, as well as a
proposal to shed up to 145 jobs while introducing new
high-technology, high-production machinery to the factory
over two years.
The factory employed 700 workers, rising to 800 at the height
of production season.
The factory's redevelopment was part of an overall $153
million investment plan, also encompassing Australian
factories at Claremont, Tasmania - $61 million investment,
160 job losses - and Ringwood, Victoria - $22 million, 25 job
losses - it was announced at the time.
Yesterday, Mr Ellis said the existing factory roof's steel
cladding would be stripped and replaced with a new tin
Coloursteel roof.
New ventilation ducts would also be installed.
Construction would be limited to daylight hours and was not
expected to generate "excessive" noise, he said.
The work was expected to be completed by late May.
The installation of new state-of-the-art production machinery
was also expected to begin shortly, he said.

The Amarillo Dillas will be playing baseball this year, just not as a member of United League Baseball.
Mark Lee, the former Major League pitcher who has served as general manager of the Dillas for three years, is keeping his vow.
"I'm sticking with it," he said Friday, four days after announcing the hometown nine and the league, which has filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy, are parting ways.
His team won the ULB championship last year, dethroning two-time champion Alexandria. For a third season, the Dillas led the league in attendance. In 44 home games, the Dillas drew 159,332 fans, or 3,620 a game. San Angelo was the only other of six teams to top 100,000 fans. By contrast, Laredo drew about 1,050 per game.
Two options are on deck for the Dillas, Lee said. One is join what probably will be a six-team league of Texas cities "that have a minor league baseball history," Lee said.
The other is to join an established league. A name that has come up is the Golden League, which fields teams in California, Arizona and Canada. All-stars from the ULB and Golden League played last summer in San Angelo.
The American Association, which includes teams in Fort Worth, Grand Prairie and El Paso, would be an attractive choice but the league already has set its 2009 schedule, Lee said.
Lee said he will work diligently to keep baseball in Amarillo and put the Dillas in the best possible situation.
"This town is amazing. I am so proud to live in Amarillo. People can't comprehend what we have here," he said. "I will continue to do anything I can to keep baseball in Amarillo."
Here's how Lee pitched the Dillas' future.
n When will a decision be made on a league for the Dillas to join this season? Is there a dropdead date to have a season?
Lee: I don't think we have a deadline but I think by the end of January we'll have a pretty good idea. To put personnel into place, hire front-office people and full staff, for the cities in question I think we'd be up and running in a week. That's for a new league. For an established league, it's already running.
n You're the GM of a team without a league. Are you drawing a paycheck?
Lee: No, I'm not making any money. I haven't been paid in a month and a half, since the end of November. But I tell you what, Amarillo is a great town and even in this crisis, people are coming in and purchasing season tickets not knowing if we're going to play or not. They know we'll refund their money if we don't play.
n Why would a league seek the Dillas? Fan support probably is a factor; why is it so much better in Amarillo than it was in other ULB cities?
Lee: Players love to come here and play, especially the ones who play in cities that don't have big attendance. Here, we have two, three, four thousand a game. They may not have that for the whole series. They like the old, nostalgic stadium. We have friendly people and a staff that likes being out there. We create a fun atmosphere at the ballpark and our staff has a good time. It's a way of life in Amarillo in the summer.
And even with the economy, we're still affordable.
n How many season tickets have been sold, and how do you market a team without a league?
Lee: About 300. In the afternoon, I go out and see sponsors. I'm not really selling anything, I'm advising them on what's going on. I'm having sponsors sign up even with people knowing what's going on. They are on a payment plan or will pay at a later date, so they know they're not out anything. I'm telling them not to be alarmed. I'm always up front with people.
n By the way, is your office open?
Lee: Yes, the office is open but it's just me, there's no staff. If I don't answer the phone (806-342-0400), I'm on the phone or out selling or someone is there with me. I think the best thing is just come down (801 S. Polk) and see me.
n How important is establishing rivalrys?
Lee: It's good to have rivals but we're so far from anybody. When Lubbock was in the Texas-Louisiana League, they were good rivals because people would go down there to watch a series. We had an I-27 battle. But San Angelo is even hours away and it was our closest team.
When I played ball (with the San Diego Padres), it was the Dodgers because they were so close. You have to create one. I guess Alexandria was the closest we had to a rival. It's good to have one but it doesn't really matter.
n What other ULB cities will continue to field teams?
Lee: San Angelo had a good year and they'll still be in baseball. The question is whether or not they'll be part of (a new league). Alexandria is out of the mix because they're not successful. Laredo ... they want to build a new stadium, so maybe. Amarillo and San Angelo are the two teams everyone wants.
n What ultimately sunk the ULB?
Lee: A true lack of leadership and accountability. Teams were not held accountable. I'd go to a meeting and all I'd hear were whining stories. We went dark in '05 after a disastrous '04. We owed hundreds of thousands of dollars. You have to go out and win back the community. (The ULB) didn't have the right people in place. Edinburg had three horrible years and we had one of the owners there and it still didn't get done. The teams, the general managers, were not held accountable for the performance of their people.
n In shopping the Dillas, what are you looking for in ownership? Who actually would own the Amarillo team?
Lee: I run a pretty good outfit here. What I need, No. 1, is an owner who sets rules and bylaws and tells me how the game is going to be played. Don't change the rules, like last year. Don't add rules. Be consistent.
If the Dillas joined the American Association, then we'd stand on our own. All the money coming in would stay here. We wouldn't have to take care of Harlingen or Alexandria and worry how they were doing. If it's one person, the money is divided among the other teams.
n What are you telling players you expected to return to the team? And, by the way, how much are players paid?
Lee: I've actually had to do that. I've told every player they can find another place to play. If they want to wait this thing out, then God bless them. But it's not fair to the greatest game in the world to not let them. We can always find ballplayers.
I'd hate to lose (infielder) Danny Bravo. He's a great guy and a team leader. But there are plenty of Danny Bravos out there. I don't want to stand in their way if they can move on. I'm not going to freeze you.
Thing is, we had a great nucleus, a great team returning. I'd say we had 85 percent of the championship team back.
On the average, a player is paid $1,200-$1,300 a month. Yeah. You gotta love the game.
n What is the role of Potter County, which owns the Dilla Villa, in decisions involving the team?
Lee: Their role is simply to make sure we follow the terms of the lease. We have a tremendous relationship with Judge (Arthur) Ware and Manny Perez and Mike Head in facilities.
They don't interfere as long we as keep to the letter of the law.

An amazing teaser animation by artist Brian Andrews re-imagines swamp life with human skeletons.
Brian Andrews does a lot of work in the digital medium. His photo-manipulation series Hominid takes animal forms and reworks them around a human skeleton.
The teaser video below is more than a little disconcerting; it shows animals that live around a swamp going about their lives in x-ray, with each small body revealing a human skeleton contorted into a new form. It's a teaser for the Hominid collection, but we'd love to see something a little more short-film length.
Anyhow, if you love creepy shorts — and creepy it most certainly is — check it out in the video below, and head over to Andrews' website to check out more of his work.

But I want to mod it in a way that it is different aswell.Now I'm not to sure if there is any room for me to actually turn the drive so that it faces the side. But even if there is not, I would still try my hardest to get it to work. As fpr the power and eject buttons. The controller does all that anyways. Only if I think I really need it would I attempt to relocate them. I will post my updates as they come along.
What do you guys think of an idea like this?
