Staff report
The Ohio Department of Transportation is grappling with the effects of harsh winter weather, among them being the depletion of the state's road-salt supply.
Over the past several days, salt deliveries have been made statewide. Last week, ODOT District 11, which oversees operations in Columbiana, Tuscarawas, Holmes, Belmont, Carroll, Harrison and Jefferson counties, reported salt usage at 55,719 tons since November, up from the district's average of 47,063 tons used during the winter.
"Winter isn't nearly over, but we have ordered enough salt to reach 50 percent capacity across District 11, which should keep us comfortable," said Becky Giauque, communications spokeswoman for District 11.
The district has spent $2.7 million so far trying to keep up with the salt supply this winter.
Brent Kovacs, a public information officer for the Mahoning County portion of ODOT, described the salt situation in District 4 as an ongoing process, stating the county is regularly ordering salt.
District 4 includes Mahoning, Trumbull, Portage, Ashtabula, Stark and Summit counties.
"Right now, we have 8,400 tons of salt, It's anyone's guess whether we will have enough for the rest of the winter," Kovacs said.
Lawrence Wilson, road superintendent of Boardman Township, said he is not optimistic about the current road-salt situation. "Boardman Township is in the same boat as everyone else. We don't have a lot of salt. We've made a lot of orders, but we have no idea of when we might get those."
Wilson said the shortage stems partially from issues mining the salt, but that the larger issue is an unexpected long winter in Ohio.
"We haven't had a winter that started in November for the past several years. We were out on the roads by the end of November. The state wasn't prepared for a winter like this," Wilson said.
Mahoning County Engineer Patrick Ginnetti echoed Wilson's concern.
"The salt supply in Mahoning isn't holding up too well. We have ordered salt, but we don't know when we'll get it. It's a problem with our distributor, and we're not sure what is going on, but salt deliveries have been late all year," Ginnetti said.
Throughout the season, Mahoning County has lent out portions of the salt supply to surrounding areas and, in turn, has borrowed salt for the county from ODOT, Ginnetti said. ODOT takes priority when salt is being delivered, and all other political subdivisions receive salt depending on the schedule of the deliveries for ODOT, he added.
Some road department officials, however, are more optimistic about the salt situation.
Thomas Sakmar, a supervisor at the Youngstown Street Department, ordered 8,000 tons of salt late last week, a shipment that should come this week.
Throughout this winter, the street department has regularly run street-cleaning shifts on a 24/7 basis, leading to increased salt usage and mechanical issues.
Sakmar said, "Ordering salt — it's just something you have to do to keep the roads clear. The state budget is usually enough to cover everything. If I need more, I'm sure they'll let me order more. They'll do whatever they have to do to keep the roads clear."
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation says it has supplied about 6,000 tons of road salt to municipalities that have run short this winter.
The highway department said its salt stock stood at about 382,000 tons, with some 145,000 tons still to be delivered.
In an average winter, PennDOT goes through about 800,000 tons, but this year's series of storms has the department going through road salt more quickly than usual.
So far this season it's lent salt to Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, New Castle and the suburban Philadelphia community of Upper Gwynedd Township.
PennDOT starts each winter with more than 500,000 tons on hand.
It's funny that every year we hear the same old story. Salt shortage, we weren't prepared. Seriously, stock for the worst, expect the worst. If it's a light season it's less you need to spend and restock with.
The govt (local and state) can't even follow it's own advice about being prepared.

Have fixed almost all of the problems we were having after upgrading the plugin, but now this is happening:

We have verified the page structure is there, all slugs are correct and all pages are marked public and published.
Everything worked great until we updated the plugin this morning to the latest version. Have tried to find the fix and have been unsuccessful. We really could use help asap, please.

Back then I did well using BufferedImage and I still have a
some good programs using BufferedImage that we
currently use importantly. But I can't remember how to
do it, and the programs take...
I think that I used to use BufferedImage and Graphics2D.
That's a little harder than I wanted, but
I could use it, Can't remember so much
Anything like it but easier?
That's too hard of a question for me.
But I referred to a way that's too hard for this purpose.
It's been a couple of years since I did programming and
that means in Java. I had made plots using MS Excel by
writing text files from java that I read into
Excel using visual basic macros that...
Thought you knew that this is a java forum. Java is my preferred language.
The rest of your reply is my question.
What is the simplest way to sum a huge number of
double precision numbers so the sum has
higher precision than double?
Is there a structure wherein I can have strings in col1, doubles in col2, integers in col3?

I just upgraded to the latest version of the plugin.
One of the best features in my opinion was that the plugin took its styling cues from my existing theme. It was the reason I installed the plugin over the 2 or 3 others that I tested.
Now in the new version it is styled independently and it doesn't fit in with my site. I know I can alter the css, but the less I have to customize the better.
Is it possible to revert back to the previous build of the plugin?
If not, how can I get your plugin to adopt the style of my theme automatically again?
(I tried just clearing the plugin's style sheet. Didn't work.)

Calo Nord joins your team as DS
I came up with a cool Mod Idea witch allows Calo Nord to join you if you are DS. I was inspired by the whole hannharr idea in KOTOR 2. Calo joins you as DS if you tell Calo that you have changed and believe him the supirior mercenary. Then Canderous would appear working for Malak and you have to kill him and his backup.
The idea is nice but I think there is already a Calo Nord Mod, look at after the kotorfiles. In addition, we must remember that after Taris, he has no normal voice more (except those where it was at one of the true star maps).
As QoN said Calo has very few voiced lines and Canderous don't have any line fitting for Malak either. And it would take a really long time too. All those dialogs, and editing.... but it is possible. Hard and Long but it is possible.
Carth Onasi to Calo Nord -

Specifically designed to bring great sound to working musicians, Seagull guitars truly need to be played to be believed. Made in Canada from beginning to end, all Seagull guitars are created to maximize acoustics without sacrificing strength. The select tonewoods, curved tops, lightweight bracing and other distinctive details make them stand out among similar guitars. And they all feature a unique, tapered headstock which puts the strings in line with the nut to minimize neck twisting and ensure they stay in tune longer. Seagull's numerous models each offer different benefits, so there's surely one to help you fully realize your sound, no matter what kind of player you are. If you're searching for an accessible guitar with a focus on exquisite tone, the Seagull Excursion Folk SG Acoustic Guitar is it. With its wild cherry top, back and sides, this simple, beautiful guitar produces incredible sound for the low price. The folk-sized body is similar to that of a traditional classical guitar, resulting in a strong, clear midrange. Are you looking at acoustic-electric hybrid options? If so, the Seagull Maritime SWS Mini Jumbo High Gloss QI Acoustic-Electric Guitar is definitely worth a look. The curvaceous mini jumbo body provides warmth with a strong midrange, and is crafted with a select, pressure-tested solid spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides. It also comes complete with Quantum I electronics, making it excellent for live playing and recording. For the practiced performer looking for a truly special, the Seagull Artist Peppino Signature QII Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar is one not to miss. With its extra-wide nut for added space and a cutaway shape for better fret access, this is the ideal instrument for discerning fingerstyle players. Meanwhile, the Godin EPM Quantum II acoustic guitar system provides incredibly clear tone and the built-in chromatic tuner with LED display makes tuning quick and easy. Loved by the likes of James Blunt and virtuoso Peppino D'Agostino, Seagull guitars are in a class all their own. It's not easy to find a North American-made instrument in a similar price range with the good looks and stunning tone Seagull guitars provide. Once you pick one up and strum your first chord, you'll understand.

Atlanta is a great city to be a college student in.

Downtown Decatur is the best. It is just five minutes away from Atlanta and there is always something to do.
Local Area:
Decatur is a very fun place to go study and have fun
Local Area:
Decatur is small and Marta is very accessible.
Local Area:
There are plenty of places for people to eat, shop, and hang out in Decatur. The locals of Decatur like Agnes Scott students quite a bit -- the minute you tell them that you're from Agnes, you generally get an understanding smile, and a compliment about the school. People love ASC!
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Agnes is hidden away by trees and beautiful lawns, but it's within walking distance from the wonderful town of Decatur. Decatur is a great place with interesting restaurants and shops that are five to 10 minutes away by walking. The town is accommodating to college students in the sense that there are plenty of places at which to study, hang out, or eat. Agnes is also a 10-minute drive or train ride from Atlanta, so there's always plenty to do in regards to shopping, spending time in Piedmont Park, going to the High Museum, or catching a movie. Most people at Agnes will go off campus at night, especially on the weekends. If an Agnes woman isn't spending her free time studying, then she's most likely in Decatur or Atlanta.
Decatur and DeKalb County are places where there are mixed safety concerns, depending on the area. The city of Decatur itself is extremely safe, but the extremities of the city aren't as safe, so traveling alone isn't always the best idea. Georgia State, Georgia Tech, and Emory are relatively close to Agnes, but in order to get to any of these other places, you'll have to take a bus, train, or car. There are always opportunities to go to other campuses, be the reason academic or purely recreational.

First I really think that plugin is quite cool and actually it works like a charm. Anyhow there are two things that made me uninstall it - maybe those features are important for other users, too ;)
- possibility to set a date from when on the feeds shall be imported. I only want to use the plugin feature from "now on" for example..
- implementation of links to the content like the "Friendfeed Activity Widget" does it. So a youtube-movie is not only listed but has a thumbnail besides it and that as well as the title can be clicked to get directly to the video.
Would be quite cool to see some update soon ;) Thanks!

I was out last night in Oadby with my girlfriend, nothing over the top really, just a casual night out at the local with a few drinks and enjoying each others company. On the way there we must have walked a few minutes before I needed to stop because (me being the ever stereotypical male) I can not buy jeans that fit, and as a result I have a pair that are a little too long and ended up getting trapped under the heel of my shoe. So like the gentleman I halted my girlfriends eager stride with 'hang on a minute'. I brought my left foot up towards my head with the intention of releasing the base of my jeans from the grasp of my shoe – a normal situation I think you will agree had it not been for the rather large protruding fennel sprout that I was holding on to to steady myself, which I had no idea that was what I was holding until my lady pointed it out. We left the pub later on and as we were walking back, for no apparent reason I decided to grasp a small bunch of fennel fronds straight off this bush and eat them like some mad fennel eating pub crawling lunatic. Well it tasted nice and it gave me the idea for this recipe, so I think whoever owns the fennel that I so carelessly violated should at least consider making this before calling the authorities.
Make sure the mackerel is super fresh, it needs to be stiff and as rigid as a banker defending his bonus.
Fried mackerel with orange, grapefruit and fennel
- 2 fresh mackerel fillets
- 1 large orange
- 1 grapefruit
- 1 fennel bulb (save the fronds)
- Juice of half a lime
- 50g watercress
- 1 dessert spoon oil, either walnut or olive oil
- Sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- To make the salad you need to remove the rind from the orange and grapefruit. to do this slice a small ammount off the base to give you stability, place on a flat surface then with a sharp knife cut strips from the top to the base making sure you remove all the white pith, you should end up with a ball with all the fruit visible. Remove the segments by cutting between each side of the membrane and place the segments in a mixing bowl, squeeze out the juice from both the grapefruit and orange. Take the fennel bulb and cut off the tough base and remove the top (remembering to keep the fronds). Remove any tough outer leaves then slice really thinly before mixing with the orange and grapefruit segments, add the lime juice and a pinch of salt and pepper then the oil, mix gently and leave in the fridge for about 15 minutes to marinate.
- Season your mackerel fillets with salt and pepper then place in a pan on a medium heat with a little oil skin side down and fry for around 2 minutes until the skin is crisp, then flip and fry flesh side down for about 1-2 minutes.
- To serve simply add the watercress to the orange and grapefruit mix and toss together, serve the salad on a plate making sure each plate gets some of everything, drizzle with some of the dressing and top with your mackerel fillet. Finish off with more of the oil of your choice then gobble it up. I suppose I should add at this point to avoid confusion that I did not in any way steal fennel from someone's front garden for the purposes of this recipe…it was merely a taster and I paid hard cash for my bulb, Just so you know.

I'm not sure this is the right place to post this but couldn't find a networking site or similar! Let me know, if this is wrong!
Later this year, I'm moving into a large (3-story) house of 10 people. I'm the guy responsible for setting up the network etc. We've agreed that we will go for 100mb Virgin cable as we are all students and, in evenings, will often all be using our computers for work/youtube/spotify/downloading/xbox/ps3 etc. The price difference between 50mb and 100mb when split 10 ways is tiny, so yeah :)
Obviously Virgin will provide us with their cable router, but I don't think it'll have the power to reach three floors! To this end, I've been looking at a few options & just need some advice as to which would be the best!
- Option 1: Repeater / Range Extender - Obviously this will be the cheapest (good for students :P) but I've heard that this effectively halves the bandwidth?
- Option 2: AP w/ Wired Ethernet - This, I think, solves the bandwith problem as above but a little more expensive & would have to run a cat5 cable through the house - which is fine, just annoying.
- Option 3: AP w/ Ethernet Powerline - I've never used these powerline connectors before so not sure how good they are? Any downsides? Are they guaranteed to work?
Or perhaps there is something I haven't considered? Or maybe someone knows that the Virgin router will be plenty strong enough?

No one will ever see it unless they DO lose a contact lense right there.
That's me!
I like this idea. It's relevant and can create an small buzz in blogs and facebook. People can talk about it, even the ones are not looking for their eyes lenses, people can spread it. Guerrilla is always good for small budget brands. Congratulations.
And about what stewart76 said, I think we can't compare SmartForTwo and Eyes lenses, 2 different markets. We could see as bad solution if another eye lense brand has done the same.

I like it. It probably cost next to nothing to execute. The client would love that. Small billboards in weird places. Is this the future?

If Friona wants to win the outright 2-3A district title, it will have to dispose of an extremely dangerous team from Littlefield that is playing for its very survival.
The Chieftains (8-1, 4-0) have already locked down a postseason berth and the No. 1 seed out of 2-3A. The Wildcats (7-2, 3-1) must beat Friona tonight to secure a playoff slot. If Littlefield loses, the Wildcats' season ends. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at Wildcat Stadium in Littlefield.
Muleshoe and Shallowater are also still alive in the playoff hunt, but Littlefield stands on the short end of any tiebreaking scenario.
"We kind of painted ourselves into a corner," Littlefield coach Lewis Boomer said. "We've got to win to get in and Friona is a tough bunch to win against."
Although the Chieftains already have their playoff spot in the bag, Friona still has a lot to play for. With a win, the Chieftains can secure the district title and an unblemished league record.
"We're coming to play because you don't get an opportunity to play for something like this every time," Friona coach Mike Scott said.
Littlefield suffered a blow to its playoff hopes two weeks ago by dropping a 25-14 decision to Shallowater.
"It wasn't a fluke," Boomer said. "They played well and they played up. They've got a lot of talented kids there, although they haven't really shown it. But they beat us, it wasn't a fluke."
Both squads should be at full strength for tonight's game. Littlefield tailback Josh Brandes was slowed for a couple of games because of a sprained ankle, but he should be ready for the game tonight.
The Littlefield offense revolves around Brandes. The 5-foot-8, 160-pound senior has gained 941 yards and scored 15 touchdowns despite missing parts of two games with the ankle injury.
"He's not a fancy runner, but he gets upfield in a hurry," Boomer said. "We've got to hope the line can create some seams for him so he can pick up some yardage."
Wildcat quarterback Taylor Allen has completed 29 of 86 passes for 553 yards and five touchdowns. His top receiver is Joseph Hood with 17 catches for 333 yards and three touchdowns.
"We have to be consistent," Boomer said. "We're not going to be able to break many long ones against their defense. We're going to have to keep the ball moving three, four and five yards at a time. We can't get into long yardage because they're tough on defense."
Friona has one of the best 3A offenses and defenses in the area. The Chieftains average 344 yards of offense and give up an average of 167 yards a game. Running Back Noel Grajeda is the Chieftains' top ground gainer with 922 yards and 13 touchdowns. Backfield mate Joseph Bandy has 729 yards on 86 carries and has scored nine times.
Quarterback Nathan King balances an effective rushing attack with well-timed passes. King has completed 35 of 71 passes for 471 yards and six touchdowns.
"We've got a good scheme and the defensive coaches have done a great job of adjusting every week," Scott said. "The main thing is the kids really get after it and play hard. If the kids are getting after it, it doesn't matter what kind of scheme you play, you're going to be successful."
The Chieftains have an extremely quick defense, anchored by linebackers Landon Martin and Matthew Mata. Last week Mata returned a fumble for a touchdown against Muleshoe. Jesse Allen, Josh Burleson and Daniel Wiseman have led the defensive front, and Cason White is one of the top defensive backs.
"We know Friona is a talented football team and we're going to have to put points on the board against them," Boomer said. "But nobody's scored more than twice against them all year so it's going to be tough. The kids know we have a good football team and we have to win one more. We have to take care of business and play as a team and I don't know if that's going to be enough against Friona."

Online course delivery systems such as Moodle, often referred to as "Learning Management Systems," have been available now for about 20 years. These technologies facilitate students' progression through a course and their participation in a variety of learning activities such as accessing content, participating in discussions, submitting assignments, and constructing representations of their learning. While presumably students are learning by participating and completing these learning activities, within these systems, there is a woeful lack of tools for "managing" that learning. For example, there are no tools for students to manage their learning goals: i.e., to construct learning goals, check how their learning goals align with the course learning outcomes, use the course learning resources and activities to intentionally work on achieving their learning goals, or to monitor their progression in achieving their learning goals. While the last 20 years have seen progress in system integration tools for system administrators and course management tools for instructors, there have been few advances, if any, in tools and features that would help students to manage their learning. In this thinking session, I will invite participants to brainstorm designs for "learning management" tools for inclusion in LMS's that would help students to both learn more effectively and to become expert learners.

The 4yr-old Grinfromeartoear gelding was a comfortable winner
in yesterday's $14,999 feature, part of the Southern Country
Cups series.
Several of the members of the Forever Smiling Syndicate,
which owns Smiling Star, are also part of the Arma Legend
syndicate which won the preceding race.
Phil Gourdie manages both syndicates and was on-course along
with wife Maria and several other syndicate members. Most of
the Forever Smiling syndicate are based in Christchurch while
Glen and Glenys Elley run the Criterion Hotel in Westport.
The talent has always been there with Smiling Star, who won
his first three races before placing third in the 2010 Sires
Stakes final, and Gourdie was full of praise for
trainer-driver Robbie Holmes and his wife, Carla
''He's been well placed in his races by Robbie and Carla,''
Gourdie said.
''They've done a tremendous job with this horse and they
looked after him when he faltered at the end of his 3yr-old
Smiling Star started off a 10m handicap and was sent forward
with a lap to go, grabbing the lead 1400m from home.
''This was the first time to have a go in front today and
he's done it and done it pretty well - he didn't knock off.''
Smiling Star has earned his chance at the group 2 Pelorus
Classic in Blenheim next Sunday.
''He'll deserve a break after that.''
Arma Legend was kept back in the running line in his 3yr-old
feature before Holmes peeled him out to win by three-quarters
of a length over Moonlight Gambler and Rakabolt.
The Mach Three gelding was purchased out of Michael House's
stables after one start and immediately placed third in the
2yr-old yearling sales consolation in May behind
Classiesistar who won the 3yr-old sales race at Alexandra
Park last week.

[after Bond has escaped]
Kamal Khan: Mr. Bond is indeed of a very rare breed... soon to be made extinct.
Vijay: Is he still there?
Q: You must be joking! Double-0 seven on an island populated exclusively by women? We won't see him till dawn!
James Bond: [looking at the tattoo on Magda's back] What is that?
Magda: That's my little octopussy.
[Confronting James Bond]
Kamal Khan: You seem to have this nasty habit of surviving.
James Bond: You know what they say about the fittest.
[Q's mechanized version of the "Indian Rope Trick" malfunctions]
James Bond: Having problems keeping it up, Q?
Kamal Khan: Spend the money quickly, Mister Bond.
[General Orlov tries to board the circus train, but is shot down by the German border guards. General Gogol, who by now learned about Orlov's scheme, approaches the fatally-injured man, looking at him disdainfully]
General Anatoly Gogol: [contemptuously] A common thief. A disgrace to the uniform!
Orlov: Yes, but tomorrow, I shall be a hero of the Soviet Union.
[despite his pain, Orlov smiles faintly, and then dies]
General Anatoly Gogol: I believe I express the opinion of everyone present that adoption of NATO proposals does not compromise our defensive position.
Orlov: [clears throat] Comrade Chairman.
Soviet Chairman: General Orlov.
Orlov: General Gogol is presumptuous. He speaks for himself and others who cling to *timid*, outdated and unrealistic policies! Must I remind you, the committee, of our *overwhelming* superiority over NATO forces before we give it away?
M: Remember, 007, you're on your own.
James Bond: Well, thank you, sir. That's a great comfort.
Kamal Khan: [preparing to leave the circus, where a bomb is placed] General, excuse me. I have some traveling arrangements to make. Enjoy the show.
US general: Thank you.
US aide: I'm sure the general will get a big blast out of this.
Kamal Khan: I know he won't be disappointed.
Magda: I guess this is good night.
James Bond: I could come in for a nightcap.
[Gobinda puts a hand in front of Magda's door]
James Bond: Some other time perhaps.
James Bond: [Gobinda walks Bond back to his room] I don't suppose you'd care for a nightcap?
Orlov: The West is decadent and divided!
[Bond and Q are floating in a hot air balloon]
James Bond: I trust you can handle this contraption, Q?
Q: It goes by hot air.
James Bond: Oh, then you can.
James Bond: [bad guys are chasing Bond and Vijay] Vijay, we've got company!
Vijay: No problem, this is a company car.
[car accelerates through crowds]
Jim Fanning: [after Bond bids for the egg] Have you gone mad?
James Bond: Let's see how badly he wants it.
Q: [being kissed by Octopussy's girls after knocking out a bandit] Cut it out! We don't have time for that! Later perhaps.
Orlov: [enters the trailer, sees Bond in Mischka's 'Twin One' clothes from behind and mistakes him for Mischka] Leave that! Let's go.
James Bond: [turns around, facing Orlov with pointed gun] Let's stay. Sit on that box. Hands on your knees. Come on, move! Now why is that bomb on the train?
Orlov: Who are you?
James Bond: I'm British Secret Service.
Orlov: You should be more concerned about getting out of here alive.
James Bond: I am more concerned about an atomic bomb exploding on a US Air Force base in West Germany! You surely can't be inviting a nuclear war? What happens when the US retaliates?
Orlov: [grinning] Against whom?
James Bond: [frowning, realizing Orlov's scheme] My God... of course. Our early-warning system will rule out the bomb having come from Russia or anywhere else. Everyone will assume incorrectly... that it was a American bomb triggered accidentally.
Orlov: Yes, that would be the most plausible explanation.
James Bond: Europe and NATO will then insist on full nuclear disarmament... and leaving every border undefended for you and the Warsaw Pact to walk across at will!
Orlov: You took the words right out of my mouth.
James Bond: And I suppose it doesn't matter a damn to you that thousands of innocent people will be killed in this little "accident" of yours?
Orlov: Better than letting a handful of old men in Moscow bargain away our advantage in disarmament talks!
James Bond: On your feet, General. You're going to stop that train.
Orlov: [they hear hoot as the train starts to move off] It's too late.
James Bond: You can stop it at the border.
[suddenly the door opens. Bond turns around to see a Russian soldier. Bond kills the soldier before he manages to point his rifle, and meanwhile Orlov escapes]
James Bond: [handing Q his coat] Yes, well you wouldn't have a smaller piece of thread than that would you Q? Someone seems to have stuck a knife in my wallet.
Q: Oh, and they missed you? What a pity!
[Bond is dragged from a river onto a tour boat]
Woman on Tour Boat: Are you with our group?
James Bond: No, ma'am, I'm with the economy tour!
Q: [Q is demonstrating a pen filled with acid] Dissolves all metals.
James Bond: Wonderful for poison pen letters...
Q: Pay attention, 007!
[Vijay has just stopped some bad guys with his tennis racket]
Vijay: Game, set and match!
[first lines]
James Bond: You didn't tell me there was going to be this much security.
Bianca: They moved the flight up to this afternoon.
James Bond: Well, we're going to have to go ahead as planned anyway.
[Bianca hands an ID badge with the name 'Luis Toro' to Bond]
James Bond: Toro. Sounds like a load of bull.
[Twin Two throws several knives at Bond, which pass through his clothes, pinning him to a cabin door]
Twin Two: [draws another knife] And this... for my brother...
[Bond plucks one of the knives from the door, and throws it at Twin Two, hitting him fatally in his stomach]
James Bond: And that's for 009!
James Bond: [the real Col. Luis Toro has found Bond] Well, it's small world. You're a Toro, too!
Octopussy: A paid assassin.
James Bond: When I kill it is on the specific orders of my Government.
Magda: He suggests a trade. The egg for your life.
James Bond: Well, I heard the price of eggs was up, but isn't that a little high?
Front Desk Clerk: I hope you have a pleasant stay.
[Bond eyes a beauty nearby who smiles at him]
James Bond: I'm, ah, sure I will.
James Bond: [handing a wad of Indian cash to his accomplice] That should keep you in curry for a few weeks.
Kamal Khan: Have a seat and play Mister... uh...
James Bond: Bond, James Bond.
Fakir: [Bond fights one of the thugs, throwing him onto a bed of nails] Get out of my bed!
Octopussy: Who is he?
Kamal Kahn: Englishman. Likes eggs, preferably Faberge, and dice, preferably loaded.
[last lines]
[Bond is in traction]
Octopussy: I wish...
James Bond: What?
Octopussy: I wish you weren't in such a weakened condition.
[Bond releases himself from traction]
Octopussy: Oh, James.
[Bond kisses Octopussy passionately]
Octopussy: James!
Magda: I need refilling.
Q: There's no time for that... later perhaps.
James Bond: [using Kamal's loaded dice to beat him in backgammon] Double sixes. Fancy that!
James Bond: [he tosses all his money to the crowd] Easy comes, easy goes!
James Bond: [runs into a tiger in the jungle] Sit!
M: You had no business bidding for that egg! What would you have done if you'd had been stuck with it?
James Bond: Then I would have claimed it was a fake, sir... and not paid.
M: Not paid?
James Bond: Here is the real one. I swiped it with the fake at the auction.
M: Good God. And what happens when the buyer discovers this?
James Bond: He complains.
M: Well?
James Bond: I don't think he will complain. According to Fanning, this Kamal usually sells. Now he buys. I think the fake will smoke him out. I had a tail follow him to Heathrow, where he caught a plane to Delhi.
M: You must go there, too. I'll have Sadruddin, our man at Station I, there to assist you.
James Bond: Yes, well, I have exactly 35 minutes to catch that plane.
M: Oh, Bond... sign a chit for that egg on your way out... it's government property now.
Gobinda: The Englishman has escaped!
Kamal Khan: He won't go very far. We'll track him.
James Bond: [Bond's jet is on empty but he manages to land it next to a gas station and the pump attendant comes out to greet him] Fill er' up, please!

Lexington, Ky., March 16, 1903.
To the Editor:
—Your editorial in the last number of The Journal, on family care of the harmless insane, leads me to suppose that you do not know that it has been continuously in use in Massachusetts since 1885. It was due, I believe, to the efforts of Dr. Henry R. Stedman of Boston, who wrote a most exhaustive paper on the subject. The matter was reviewed at the last meeting of the American Medico-Psychological Association.

Brooks Offers Scoring—Something the Nets Covet
Nets rookie shooting guard MarShon Brooks knew he was going get his first NBA start sooner or later. Coach Avery Johnson nearly pulled that trigger Monday against the Indiana Pacers, but was persuaded by assistant P.J. Carlesimo to wait.
Wednesday night against the Boston Celtics, Johnson could wait no more. With last year's leading scorer Brook Lopez recovering from foot surgery and star point guard Deron Williams in street clothes, Brooks took the floor for his first opening tip-off and became just the fourth Nets rookie to start for the team within its first seven games since 2000-2001.
In that time Brooks, who was drafted 25th overall by Boston last June and immediately dealt to New Jersey, averaged 14.1 points per game (second among rookies) while hitting 45.8 percent of his field goals and 77.3 percent of his free throws (both ninth among rookies).
Even when Brooks has struggled—he failed to score in 12 minutes of action against the Cavaliers on New Year's Day—coach Avery Johnson hasn't hesitated to put him right back on the floor.
"It's great," Brooks said of playing for Johnson. "He knows I'm a confident kid and I'll just go out there and play my game the next game."
Brooks matched his career high of 21 points in the following game, Tuesday's 108-94 loss to the Pacers, and followed that by scoring 15 first-half points against the Celtics on Wednesday. New Jersey (1-6) even held a one-point lead over Boston at the half, but ultimately crumbled 89-70 after Brooks twisted his ankle (he's listed as day to day).
Part of the miracle of Brooks was that he was available at all. As a senior he led the Big East in scoring at 24.6 points per game and was later named a finalist for the John Wooden Award. He even registered 52 points against the ninth-ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish last February.
"We're going to find other guys in front of him that won't pan out, just like in any draft," NBA scouting director Ryan Blake said of the New Jersey-born, Georgia-raised Brooks.
A big return on the trade is a necessity for the Nets, who aren't just looking for value. New Jersey has been dreadful offensively, averaging 91.5 points per 100 possessions (29th in the NBA), largely because of the absence of Lopez. But when the Nets center does eventually return, he'll have another formidable teammate beside Williams.
"He's a special young player, has a chance to be a really good pro," Williams said of Brooks.
Obviously Brooks' success is dependent on his ability to play alongside Williams, but the two-time All-Star insists they "work well together" and for now, that's as much optimism as the Nets can hope for.

The real parallel of Obama-Lincoln is unification
Regarding Leonard Pitts Jr.'s column "The Lincoln Myth: He Was Great; He Was Not the Emancipator" (Jan. 20): Having read it, I feel obliged to note that Mr. Pitts has rather missed the point when he assumes that the parallels drawn between Presidents Obama and Lincoln are race-related.
Barack Obama did not win his office on a platform of racial equality, but one of unification between liberals and conservatives.
The divisions created in this country in the last few decades and deliberately encouraged during the recent administration have greatly damaged the integrity of our nation. We all love our country, and Mr. Obama, like Lincoln, seeks to "bind up the nation's wounds."
And in that respect, Lincoln would indeed be pleased. And so would I.

Review quote
From the reviews: "These two seasoned practitioners have masterfully distilled the essence of the software business and the art and craft of the increasingly important and challenging field of software product management. Worthwhile to any who want an appreciation of the evolving world of product management, seasoned veteran and new entrant alike." Richard Campione, Senior Vice President, Business Suite Solution Management & CRM On Demand, SAP, Germany/USA "Mr. Kittlaus and Mr. Clough have used their considerable knowledge and experience to succinctly lay out the value chain that is essential to the development of a financially healthy software company. If you want to understand how to turn software technology into a long-term profitable company this is the book to read." Paul Kaplan, Vice President, Worldwide Enterprise Software Sales, Software Group, IBM, USA "This book on Software Product Management and Pricing is the first book that treats the business of software in a systematical way. Although software products were already shipped in the seventies of the last century, there are hardly any books providing an overview of all issues a company faces when playing a role in this industry. Product management and pricing are key processes, and this book informs the reader of the essentials. It is a must-read for anyone involved in software products, be it in business or in research." Prof. Dr. Sjaak Brinkkemper, Information and Computing Sciences, Utrecht University, Netherlands "This compendium covers all facets of the software business using the advanced professionalism of the industry's global players as its standard. The authors have managed to combine professional accuracy with helpful practical examples and valuable references for further reading. Highly recommended, in particular for managers in corporate IT and software vendor organizations!" Wilhelm Gans, CTO, DSV Group (German Savings Banks Organization), Germany "A comprehensive book on best practices for software product management and pricing. It provides a deep insight into strategy and tactics of software organizations in a time of growing complexity and new challenges like Software as a Service." Udo Hertz, Director of Information Management Development, IBM Germany Research & Development, Germany "Software is big business to the largest of the information technology companies. ... Kittlaus and Clough frame their topics with considerable insight. ... written for practitioners that work with or are responsible for software product management and pricing. Kittlaus and Clough have shared their points of view in a well-structured, easy-to-read format. ... The authors added job descriptions for the software product management role and software pricing manager, which are very helpful in distinguishing these roles from others that may be or sound related."

Europe's Markets Fall
European stocks fell as investors looked beyond a confidence-vote victory by Greece's government to fresh evidence that the European consumer environment is showing signs of extreme stress.
The Stoxx Europe 600 index fell 0.6% to 268.07, the eleventh decline in the past 16 trading days. While there was some cheer over Prime Minister George Papandreou's parliamentary victory late Tuesday, investors recognized that the battle to resolve Greece's debt problems is far from over. The Parliament now must pass stringent austerity measures totalling €28 billion before Greece gets a €12 billion tranche of a financial aid package from the European Union.
The Greece ASE Composite index fell 0.3%. Portugal's PSI 20 index shed 0.7%.
"The vote of confidence that the Greek Prime Minister won [Tuesday] should not be seen as the beginning of the end but rather the end of the beginning of the European sovereign-debt crisis," said Andreas Utermann, global chief investment officer at global asset-management company RCM. "The structural problems within the Greek economy, but also within some of the peripheral economies are so severe that they will take years of reforms to address and resolve."
Data released Wednesday showed that consumers in the bloc of 17 euro-using nations became less confident in June about their prospects, with the European Union's confidence index falling to -10 from -9.9 in May.
Philips Electronics PHG 0.81 % fell 8.8% after warning that its profit would be hit by weak consumer demand in Western Europe. And Kesa Electricals said it is considering a sale or joint venture of its struggling U.K. chain Comet, which been hit particularly hard by a decline in consumer electronics sales. Kesa eked out a 0.1% rise in London on speculation that there was private-equity interest in the Comet business.
In London, the FTSE 100 fell 2.32 points to 5772.99, after minutes from the last Bank of England monetary policy meeting proved to be very dovish, pushing rate hike expectations back even further than expected.
Banks led decliners after HSBC Holdings downgraded shares of Lloyds Banking Group, Barclays BCS -0.50 % and Royal Bank of Scotland Group to neutral from overweight, saying proposed regulatory changes from the Independent Commission on Banking could mean a hit of up to £10 billion ($16.2 billion) for the three U.K. banks. Barclays fell 2.5%. RBS and Lloyds each declined 0.7%.
Asset managers advanced on crop of upbeat broker comments. Man Group soared nearly 5% on bid speculation and positive broker comments.
In Frankfurt, the DAX fell 0.1% to 7278.19. Merck KGaA MKGAY 0.57 % shed 2.8% after the German drug maker said it no longer will pursue global approval of its Cladribine tablets for the treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. Merck said data from ongoing clinical trials are "very unlikely to address the [U.S. Food and Drug Administration] requirements and will not provide a basis for approval."
Metro MTTRY -0.80 % fell 1.6% amid a lower tone for retailers.
In Paris, the CAC-40 fell 0.2% to 3871.37, with shares of Carrefour falling 0.5% a day after Moody's Investors Service cut the short-term credit rating on the retailer to negative from stable and changed the outlook to negative from stable. Moody's said the decision mainly reflects the recent profit warning for Carrefour's French operations for the first half of 2011.
Hennes & Mauritz HMB 0.43 % fell 2.3% after the Swedish retailer said second-quarter net profit slipped 18% owing to a stronger Swedish krona and higher sourcing costs. Sales rose 2.2%.
Clean energy stocks sagged. Spanish wind-turbine maker Gamesa Corp. Tecnologica GCTAY 0.00 % fell 2% in Madrid. Renewable Energy dropped 2.4% in Oslo. Vestas Wind Systems VWDRY 0.39 % slumped 4.8% in Copenhagen after Danske Bank cut its price target. Vestas said it signed a new 1.3 billion euro revolving credit for five years with an option to extend it for another two years.
Elsewhere, the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note rose 10/32, or $3.125 for each $1,000 invested, pushing the yield down to 2.953%, as prices and yields move inversely.
The euro weakened somewhat $1.4399 by midday in New York from $1.4411 late Tuesday in New York. The pound weakened to $1.6118 from $1.6245. The dollar weakened to 0.8371 Swiss franc from 0.8495 franc.
The price of the light, sweet, crude-oil contract for August delivery was up 48 cents, or 0.5%, to $94.65 on the New York Mercantile Exchange. June gold rose $11.70, or 0.8%, to $1557.70 a troy ounce on the Comex division of Nymex.

Mr. Obama, Set Vietnam Free
American soft power can spur democratic change.
For anyone watching Barack Obama's inaugural address last week from an unfree country, surely one of the most stirring lines came when he said, "And so, to all the other peoples and governments who are watching today . . . know that America is a friend of each nation, and every man, woman and child who seeks a future of peace and dignity. And we are ready to lead once more."
Vietnam would be the perfect place to start.
From a simply strategic standpoint, Vietnam sits smack in the middle of Southeast Asia, next to China and Thailand and alongside important shipping lines through the South China Sea. America can only benefit from having a peaceful, democratic regime in place there. From a broader perspective, one of America's biggest foreign policy missteps in the 20th century was its abandonment of Vietnam to the Communist Party. Times have changed, but Vietnam's potential for anchoring a liberal, economically vibrant Southeast Asia has not. Using soft power, the United States possesses the diplomatic means to help the Vietnamese people, and American interests.
Vietnam is ripe for change. Vietnam is no Malaysia or Indonesia, plagued by sectarian conflict. Nor is it like China, despite the superficial similarities of communist governments in Confucian cultures that have tried to offer their people economic growth in exchange for political obeisance.
Whereas Chinese leaders have aspirations for great power status, Vietnam's communists maintain a tributary relationship with China, relying on Beijing for political support. As a result, while the Chinese Communist Party can manipulate nationalist sentiments to further its control, the Vietnamese Communist Party must tamp down nationalism lest its control be threatened. Hanoi also already faces a much higher cost for bad policies and failures to reform. Multinational companies cannot ignore the huge Chinese market, but they can afford to skip Vietnam if the business environment becomes too challenging or the political system too repressive.
Another decisive factor is the relative homogeneity and attitudes of the Vietnamese diaspora. Numbering 1.5 million in the U.S. and three million worldwide, overseas Vietnamese are mostly boat people who fled as political refugees beginning in 1975. With a common past, many share hopes for a free and democratic Vietnam in the future. Meanwhile, Vietnam has one of the most pro-U.S. populaces in the world. In Vietnam, the regime dislikes the U.S., but "the street" loves America. As long as U.S. policy stays focused on engaging the Vietnamese people, it can draw on a tremendous reservoir of good will.
Which is not to say Washington should work outright for the overthrow of the regime in Hanoi. Political change, when it comes, will have to be the handiwork of the Vietnamese people. But if Mr. Obama wants to encourage Vietnam's political evolution, he does have tools available that could have a big impact. The most important tool is simply the tone Washington sets for its relationship with Hanoi. American officials should be clear that the U.S. will work with the regime only insofar as it is the current government, but that America is first and foremost a partner with the Vietnamese people.
The U.S. could begin by speaking out against the arbitrary arrests, intimidation of democracy activists and restrictions on independent religious and political organizations. For the U.S. to talk with one voice, all departments involved in Vietnam policy including State, Commerce and Defense must have consistent priorities. A stronger human rights policy also necessitates that the administration adhere to the letter and spirit of the International Religious Freedom Act. The Bush administration made a mistake when it removed Vietnam from the list of Countries of Particular Concern for violations of religious freedom to advance other diplomatic goals.
The U.S. should engage with all facets of Vietnamese society. Education is a key area. Programs for Vietnamese youth to study at U.S. colleges should receive increased funding. At the same time, opportunities need to be created for U.S.-based academics and experts to share ideas with audiences in Vietnam, for example through forums organized by the U.S. embassy in Hanoi. U.S. political-military talks with the Vietnamese government and the Pentagon's International Military Education and Training program would encourage the People's Army of Vietnam to modernize not just its operational capability, but also its thinking in terms of the proper balance of civilian-military relations and the fundamental mission of the military -- which is to defend against external threats.
The U.S. also can help the Vietnamese people have a say in their own futures by supporting civil society. Directing health, education, microfinance and other programs through official Vietnamese government channels is not an effective long-term solution. The U.S. can support local capacity by exploring all avenues to cooperate directly with private Vietnamese individuals and community-based organizations. The U.S. should establish dialogues with Vietnamese pro-democracy organizations and reformist elements in the regime. The message of the U.S. should be: "It is up to the Vietnamese people to determine their own government. As a friend of Vietnam, we are willing to listen to all who have constructive views."
Indeed, U.S. policy must match the enthusiasm for change on the ground. Drawing on the experience of Eastern Europe and elsewhere, the U.S. can also help reassure those in power that change need not be destructive nor invite chaos.
Major U.S. policy decisions toward Vietnam since the normalization of relations in 1995 -- such as the bilateral trade agreement and permanent normal trade status -- have often been justified by their long-term effect on promoting greater openness. But the long term can be a very long time away. The policy choice for the Obama administration is not whether a free Vietnam is merely a preferred outcome in the long run, but whether it ought to be an active goal in the closer term. By standing with the Vietnamese people, the U.S. has the opportunity to transform Vietnam and ultimately a large swath of Asia.
Mr. Hoang is a U.S.-based leader of Viet Tan, an unsanctioned pro-democracy political party in Vietnam.

Numerous sources are reporting that at least one person was severely injured in an explosion late Monday morning in Shelbyville.
Local police evacuated an area within one-half mile of a bio-diesel tank which exploded and burned at the Southern Energy facility on Lane Parkway. News reports indicate that one victim has been transported to Vanderbilt via Life-Flight after the explosion which occurred at about 10:30.
Bedford County Sherriff Randall Boyce told media outlets that 69 inmates had been moved out of the County Workhouse and that students at Thomas Magnet School were evacuated and taken by bus to Harris Middle School as a precautionary measure. Other businesses in the area were also evacuated, including the City Courthouse and the County Animal Control building.
The explosion created a black plume of smoke that rose, according to some reports, as high as forty feet in the air. Two other people are reported to be injured. Power and traffic signals in the area have been disrupted.
Follow Up:
Authorities in Bedford County continue to investigate the explosion and subsequent fire in Shelbyville Monday morning. One man, apparently the driver of a tanker truck that was unloading a solvent, was transported to Vanderbilt Medical Center by Life-Flight with serious burns over fifty percent of his body. The victim has not yet been identified. Despite chaotic reports from the scene Monday, no other injuries were reported.
Local officials had evacuated the area within one-half mile of the explosion at the Southern Energy facility on Lane Parkway. Businesses, schools, and government offices in the area reopened Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning. Traffic control and electric service to the area, except in the immediate vicinity of the explosion, have been restored.
Gates along a Duck River tributary had been closed to prevent chemicals and water, used to extinguish the flames, from entering the watershed. Personnel from neighboring Rutherford County assisted in the evacuation and later re-housing of animals at the Bedford County Animal Control building.

Title: Chapter 56: Arwen's Lessons in Sexism Reviewer: Silence is Mithril Signed
I had a dream that I was in a car with one of my friends named Clark. I'm pretty sure it was a red convertible with the top up. There was an elf -- he was blond, so I'm pretty sure it was Legolas -- passed out on the floor of the backseat. Several empty cans of Heinken surrounded the elf, along with a full case on the seat. I distinctly remember it being Heinken -- don't ask why. I told Clark something along the lines of "Elf can't hold his drink." Then I woke up. Weird thing is, I can't drive yet, nor can I drink. And Clark has never read nor watched LotR.
