On a typical weekday morning, Elizabeth Marshburn spends about 15 minutes hunting for a place to park.
When she finally does claim a spot for her red Nissan Versa, it's usually blocks away from her destination and along a residential street, not in a parking lot.
Marshburn attends classes at Amarillo College's Washington Street campus, where the lack of student parking spots is a constant student concern.
"They say more people enroll every semester," she said. "But if enrollment goes up, shouldn't the number of parking spots also go up?"
AC isn't the only college with parking dilemmas, but specific factors at AC's most populated campus both heighten and aggravate the situation.
"Parking is definitely a problem here," Marshburn said. "It's frustrating. Lots of people complain, but we can't really do anything."
Parking predicament
AC has one student parking space for about every four students who attend a class at its Washington Street campus.
That means if every student with a course on the Washington Street campus wanted to park there, 75 percent would have to park along side streets, carpool or walk from home.
"If you talk to students, they would always say there's going to be a problem with parking," said Bruce Cotgreave, physical plant director at AC.
This spring, 5,398 AC students have at least one class on the Washington Street campus, according to AC's institutional research department.
The campus, although, includes 1,371 parking spaces in designated student lots.
Of course, not all students are trying to park at the exact same time, Cotgreave said.
"Students complain mainly because not everybody can park right next to the building," he said.
Cotgreave said students who show up early for class can avoid the crowded lots.
Parking permits at AC are free for all students who register for class, and students who arrive first have first choice, he said.
But as the string of vehicles parked along streets lengthens, disgruntlement rises.
"It's a really big problem," said student Joe Martinez.
"When you can't park in a lot, you have to worry about your car getting broken into or getting a ticket if you accidentally pull into the wrong place," he said.
Students aren't the only ones who complain.
Some AC faculty members, who don't all have reserved parking, dislike the situation, said AC president Steven Jones.
Also, some local residents have voiced concerns about students crowding the roads and parking in driveways or yards in their haste to get to class, he said.
College parking headaches exist at most schools, the president said.
Parking at West Texas A&M University is similarly bleak.
WT designates 2,481 parking spaces, which require a paid parking permit, for its estimated 7,000 students - enough spots for about 35 percent of the student population.
Unlike AC, though, around 950 WT students live on campus and aren't required to drive to school for class. An additional 175 upperclassmen could fill a new dormitory at WT in 2008.
Plans to construct a new parking lot by 2010 could also add about 250 spaces in the heart of WT's campus, said Danny Smith, associate vice president for physical facilities at WT.
Two AC committees are exploring capital improvement needs, which includes parking, at college, Jones said.
But other critical issues, including academic building renovations and expansions, are also on the table, he said.
"Choices of where to spend funding are always a factor when resources are limited," the president said.
Searching for solutions
A new parking lot for students hasn't been added at AC's Washington Street campus in 11 years. In 1996, the North Lot, which contains 525 spaces, was completed.
Since then, AC's enrollment at Washington Street has grown by almost 650 students.
"In a perfect world, I would like to see us have some more parking spaces," Cotgreave said.
But right now, AC's options are limited.
The high cost of paving a new lot, coupled with the problem of location, puts the college in a bind.
Martinez said he would pave a lot on the northern-most section of Memorial Park, located south of campus.
But the college would first have to buy any land to pave - the Washington Street campus is land-locked, surrounded on all sides by either residential, business or city-owned property.
Secondly, AC would have to spend big bucks for construction.
A new 500-space parking lot would cost about $800,000.
The option of a parking garage is also out of the question now, Jones said.
The cost of a 1,000-space parking garage is estimated at $12 million and would take 18 months to build.
"Even if we were given $12 million, would it be best spent for a parking garage?" the president said.
Still, AC has taken alternative steps to ease the problem.
More classes are now being offered in the afternoon and evening when fewer students are on campus, Jones said.
A shift toward online courses helps reduce the number of students required to drive to class.
AC is also considering moving some Washington Street classes to West Campus.
"Parking is an important issue that we know students talk about," Cotgreave said.
"As much as we can, we want to accommodate our students and our faculty and staff."
Amarillo College parking facts
AC's Washington Street campus includes 11 parking lots and three street parking areas. Combined, the lots comprise 551,678 square feet of pavement - the equivalent of about 11 football fields - and contain 1,570 spaces, with 1,371 spaces designated for students. Other spots are specified for visitors, employees, loading vehicles and handicapped individuals.
The busiest times for parking at AC's Washington Street campus are typically from 8:30 to 10 a.m. The lots are generally more crammed early in the semester when students are still registering and haven't tired of going to all their classes yet.
AC will shell out about $200,000 this summer to repave two existing student lots on the Washington Street campus. Both lots received extensive damage from storms this winter.
Each year, AC orders about 14,000 student parking permits. The permits are free for students and good for one academic year. The AC police department distributes almost every permit it orders.
Two unfinished, temporary parking lots on the Washington Street campus were converted to permanent lots in 2006. The new construction added about six parking spaces in the lots, which are located along 22nd Avenue on both sides of Jackson Street.
At AC's West Campus, which contains 793 total parking spaces, 1,520 students are enrolled in at least one class - almost two times as many students as parking spaces. AC president Steven Jones said West Campus could eventually become the hardest AC campus to find a parking spot, since there are no surrounding residential streets to handle an overload.

Historical Traveler Reviews Holiday Inn New London
Really liked this hotel
This was a good hotel with a spacious room. I loved their fitness center, pool, and jacuzzi after a long day! The breakfast/restaurant was also very good. The only complaint I had (and the staff was very accomodating) was that room service never showed up when I had requested. The front desk said they had just started the service, however. Not sure how accurate that is, but that was really my only complaint. It is very accessible from I-95, and I enjoyed my stay. The price is also very reasonable.
Enjoyable stay at the New London Radisson
Though tucked away on a hard to find street, the New London Radisson has a very helpful and friendly night clerk who 'talked me in' via cell phone much as a control tower operator would guide an airplane lost in the fog! Upon arrival I found a nice hotel with well appointed rooms, a welcome shelter after a day filled with bumper to bumper holiday traffic. Hotel is very near Mystic Seaport and was a bargain by comparison.
So close to Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods Casinos
Thanks for all other TripAdvisor reviews about this hotel that helped me decided to visit Mohegan Sun first before checking in the hotel and visit Pequot Museum that next to Foxwoods after check out the hotel. I have found this is great arrangement that after visiting the great Mohegan Sun Casino for a few hours and after dinner came back to a full rest at Radison hotel at New London.
Some more detail info that could help others who may stay at this great hotel yet visiting Mohegan Sun Casino. You take exit 79A on I-395 North to Mohegan Sun, remember the last buffet is 10pm at weekdays and 12 midnight at Friday and Saturday nights. It is very easy to get to the hotel taking CT-32-S instead of going back to I-395-S; it is faster and much shorter; 10 minutes is what it should take.
After checked out the hotel, leave the car at the hotel's FREE parking lot, and you can walk just one or two blocks down to Amtrack Union train station and the Long Island Ferry (you can take Ferry ride with your car to Long Island) and tour the downtown New London.
Taking the car down more, you can reach the river and ocean side; there is nice park and beach and boardwalk ...etc, very nice ocean view. I was surprised to find the Pfzer global research center there too.
When you go to Foxwoods Casino, or the wonderful Pequot Museum next to it, you can take I-95-N, and exit 88 to take Rt 117-N, the Rt-214-East; it is very smooth, and the river view is wonderful. At the exit 88 on Rt 117-N, you will hit Groton Marriott, very nice hotel to check out too.
It is such great location of this Radison hotel at New London, right off exit 83 of I-95-N, but wonderful price. I paid close to $200 to stay at Mohegan Sun several times, and close to that at Foxwoods, and some $169 at Mystic Hilton, but I got $40 from Amazing-Bargains this time at this wonderful hotel; I felt it well worth, after visit Mohegan Sun first, and able to visit beach after going back to Pequot Museum having great lunch there.
Other than the great location of Radison Hotel, the staff there are great, very polite and nice as other reviews have mentioned. The hotel is relatively new and clean and the room is as great as I need.
There is no high speed Internet, but after all sorts of activities at Mohegan Sun, Kids Quest, shopping, dinner ...etc, all we needed was a nice sleep after checked in at midnight.
Another drawback is that the check out time is 1 hour earlier than general hotel, but 11am check out time seemed to gave us one more hour to visit beach. This is same check out time as Mystic Hilton, but I was nicely given extension if I need, the front desk told me when I checked in.
There are 3 nice on premise restaurants, all looks great with many ballrooms and nice swimming pool, but we did not get a chance to use them because as I said there are just too many nice places to visit nearby before heading Providence RI on the way to Boston Hyatt ...
This is great hotel that I will sure wish to come back again and again, and I would sure to recommend whoever want to visit all the nice places nearby from Mohegan Sun Casino to Foxwoods Casino, from Pequot Museum (we are member) to USS Battleship and Submarien (free) to Mystic Aquarium, DNA Museum at New London (we are member), to Mystic Seaport ...etc on the way to Providence RI and Boston area.
Great Hotel Near Mohegan Sun
Stayed here for a night on our trip to Mohegan Sun, it's about 10 miles to the casino, located in a quiet area in New London but very close to the ferries. Got a good rate from Expedia ($99). Clean and spacious room, bathroom and lobby. I would stay here again. Did not try the breakfast at the hotel restaurant so could not comment on that.
high price did not equal high quality. very clean, nice front desk. food/bar slooow. stay in Mystic if you want anything to do at all outside the hotel.
Loved the Raddison
My husband and I stayed at the Raddison Hotel in New London, CT, (3/19-3/21)and were pleasantly surprised. The rooms were spacious, very clean, and the bed very comfortable. The only problem was the shuttle driver on the weekends (going to the casinos), the driver didn't stick to his schedule, he was late dropping off and picking up, and he was not friendly at all. Other than that we would stay here again.
Good stay
We stayed at the New London Radisson for two nights and enjoyed our stay. The hotel is in great condition and probably the best hotel-style lodging option in the New London area. We managed a priceline rate of $38 per night (Sat & Sun nights), so you can't beat that price. The bed wasn't the most comfortable and they have very small windows. Bathroom was a nice size as was the room. Noise was never a problem. Would gladly stay here again.
Enjoyable stay @ the Radisson
I stayed @ the Radisson in New London, Ct last April. The hotel was very nice. The rooms were very comfortable and spacious. I rec'd a great deal for the hotel through Priceline ($50/night). If you decide to stay in New London or anywhere near there, I suggest you try the Bank Street Lobster House. The food was great there.
Very Satisfied!
My girlfriend and I stayed at this hotel for two nights in the fall and were very pleased. I think we paid about $80-$100 on Priceline. The rooms were spacious and very clean. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom area was very spacious and clean. The hotel has a decent-sized lobby that is very modern and clean. The best part about this hotel was the indoor pool and hot tub. The pool was very large and warm and the hot tub was great. There was also a small fitness center that we did not use. The entire hotel complex looks like it is very modern. The location was ideal considering that many major cities and casinos were only a short drive away. I would recommend that you stay here instead of the pricey casino hotels. There was plenty of parking too and we stayed over a weekend. I will definitely return to this hotel if I am ever in the New London, CT area.
Very impressed
I was impressed in general by the hotel. Although I only stayed one night, the staff was friendly and very helpful. The standard room was pretty large, and everything was extremely neat and clean. The large bathroom was the most surprising of the entire stay - not only did it look very modern and clean, it was stocked with everything from a tube of toothpaste (in case you forgot, which I did!) to a small sewing kit.
The hotel is very tasteful for the afforable rates it offers. I woud definitely stay there again.

Walter B. Martin-Perez, 23, pleaded not guilty last week in a hearing before Clallam County Superior Court Judge Chris Melly.
Forks police alleged that Martin-Perez backed a Ford Explorer into a patrol car driven by Officer Michael Gentry during an 11:55 p.m. traffic stop at the Evergreen 76 gas station in Forks and fled on foot.
Broken leg, wrist
Gentry suffered a broken leg and wrist as he tackled the suspect.
Martin-Perez was arrested in the Forks area two days later.
Gentry had three surgeries at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. He is recovering in Forks.
Martin-Perez is being held in the Clallam County jail on $10,000 bail.
Melly on Friday denied a defense motion to release Martin-Perez on personal recognizance, as Martin-Perez has a pending Immigration and Customs Enforcement case, court papers said.

Do different weapons used for melee in Left for Dead 1 either do more damage or more knockback or are they different in any other way?
Since this question is tagged left-4-dead, and all your recent questions have been about L4D1, I will assume you're not talking about L4D2...
In which case, the answer is no, no matter what weapon you are holding when you melee, it will have the same effect.
As far as I can tell, the two-handers have wider swings. When facing multiple infected up close that can mean multiple kills/knockbacks. Also, I'm not sure the range is necessarily the same for all two-handers.
One handers seem to swing more quickly, but I prefer two-handed weapons where possible. Though I have a soft spot in my heart for the frying pan. "Spang!"

Slogdance 20 Who Needs Sleep?
The question is a good one, and I must admit that I'm quite tired as I write this. But there's much to do in the daytime hours, and I'm only hurting myself by cutting short my sleep, right? According to Haskel Wexler's new doc Who Needs Sleep?, I might be wrong in that assumption. The movie is about reforms that several people are trying to make in the film industry, the only industry in the civilized world fighting for a 14 hour workday. You see, when people are "forcedâ (really, they would be fired if they left early) to work 14- to 18- to 22-hour days, for days on end, they become subject to fatigue, which often hits on the sometimes deadly drive home. The movie is quite good in its intentions, and even touching at times, but it gets a little redundant and would benefit from examinations of other sleep-depriving industries like doctors and nurses.
I missed the other sleep-themed movies. One was Alan Berliner's Wide Awake, and the other was Michel Gondry's follow-up to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Science of Sleep. I heard great things about the former, and mixed-to-very good things about the latter. I look forward to catching up to those soon. After I get some rest.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Apr 01st, 2004
Running Time: 122
Director: Sal Genoa
Company: Jewel De\'Nyle Productions
Distribution Companies: Platinum X Pictures
Cast: Michael Stefano, Anthony Hardwood, Lucy Thai, Lexington Steele, Darren James, Mr. Pete, Kiwi Ling, Tai Luv, Scott Lyons, Lucy Lee, Nyomi Marcella
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Gonzo
Improved production doesn\'t make up for the lack of personality.
Director Jewel De'Nyle's production skills seem to be improving, at least in this title, which features better lighting, camera work and even audio than some of her previous titles. But the scenes just don't have the spark that Jewel herself was always able to bring to the screen.
The girls are hot enough, the sex is adequate, but there's a complete lack of personality in the way the scenes are presented.
Things open with a fizzle as Mr. Pete plows Kiwi, who will be remembered most (as far as this scene, anyway) for her hairy bush and expression that doesn't exactly say she's enjoying things, particularly the anal.
Lucy Thai proves her whoreness by fucking Lexington Steele and Scott Lyons, but, again, there's just a detachment about the entire thing that detracts from the whole scene.
Again, the sex isn't bad, the girls are pretty enough, but for anyone who likes a little personality in their porn, it ain't here.

Military Bride-to-Be Says Yes to the Dress Thanks to the USO at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base
As soon as Melissa Wrisley put on the satin white gown, she knew it was "the dress." Just a few months earlier, when she was first engaged to her now-husband, Marine Pfc. Brandon Wrisley, Melissa was wondering if she would even be able to find a dress – let alone a designer dress – that would fit their tight wedding budget.

Research and development costs associated with bringing a new pesticide to market have skyrocketed over the past decade, according to a study from the pesticide trade groups CropLife America (CLA) and the European Crop Protection Association. The study finds that the costs of discovery and development of a new active ingredient increased from $184 million to $256 million, or nearly 40%, from 2000 to 2008. The dramatic increase is due in part to ever-changing regulatory . . .

Eileen Murphy recently spotted this snowy owl that seems to have taken up residence at Castle Island. She reports it seemed to be eyeing her small dog as a snack.
HBP posts photos of a great horned owlet in Forest Hills Cemetery.
Edward Zarrow reports that the owl that likes to perch in a tree hollow at Weld and Maple streets in West Roxbury didn't even flinch today as the snow fell on him or her.
Roving UHub photographer Edward Zarrow reports this screech owl has been quietly observing the comings and goings of the 51 bus and its riders today at Weld and Maple streets in West Roxbury.
Around 6 p.m, BMR reports.
Look what they rescued from behind a fireplace in Randolph today.
Good Morning Gloucester posts a nice photo of a snowy owl, with a sad coda:
I took this photo yesterday in Rockport – Magnificent creature! By this morning, he had died in the same place – just tragic! The Animal Control Officer who came to collect him said often owls ingest rodents that have been poisoned – please ask your readers to re-think using poison.
On Prince Street, WCVB reports. Another photo.
Because some of them were recordings.
Sarita reports on a pre-dawn birding count in Jamaica Plain that involved cranking up a loudspeaker playing "screech owl trills" to try to attract the birds:
The Proper Bostonians reports on the scene in the Public Garden, where owl watchers and photographers converged this evening to watch an owl in a beech tree (right near the fountain/statue that shows a mountain lion catching an owl):
Or maybe we're just noticing these stealthier predators after years of paying attention to their flashier, daytimier cousins, the hawks. The above is not some impressionist painting of what an owl might look like, but an impressionist-like photo of an owl in a tree near Sullivan Square in Somerville on Saturday night, taken by Bill Ritchotte. "Hedwig?" he asks.
Rob Watson photographed a "vaguely foreboding owl hanging out" above a Park Street exit tonight. A very real and alive, if vaguely foreboding, owl, he assures us.

Her trangression was marrying out of her and social standing...? Um, NO.
Her only "crime" was being an idiot and marrying someone who was:
a good-for-nothing with a violent past.
What #1 said.
She didn't marry a man "much younger than herself". He was 34, she was 40... that's only six years. I've known plenty of people who are married to people four, five, six years older/younger than them.
Her "crime" was being foolish. A man who is "something of a drifter", who has a violent past, just isn't the kind of guy you get serious with...
From the article you linked:
It was not the first time Cheema had run into trouble with the law.
In 1995, when Cheema was 22, he was convicted of attempting to kidnap a former fiance from a Winnipeg store. He took her to a hotel, where she escaped after 10 hours.
He later attempted to kidnap the same woman at gunpoint from outside her home, attempting to fire the weapon at the woman's mother. The gun, however, would not discharge.
He was sentenced to a jail term of three and a half years. Parole documents stemming from that conviction identified him as prone to "spouse abuse and explosive outbursts."
"You have a controlling attitude in that you demand to have control over the women in your life," the documents state, further noting Cheema had made previous suicide attempts.
Cheema, who was born in England, was ordered deported while serving a 42-month sentence, but later won a reprieve from the Immigration and Refugee Board because of his strong family support in B.C.
Jas Cheema has told The Vancouver Sun that Hirji was fully aware of Cheema's criminal past.
But several close friends of Hirji told The Sun that the popular principal of Surrey's A.H.P. Matthews elementary did not know details of his conviction.
If the woman truly knew that the man had a history of assaulting/abusing the women in his life, getting into a relationship with him was foolish. Extremely foolish.
No, she didn't deserve to die, but she obviously made a mistake.
please prove to us, with examples, this public opinion that the woman is to blame. your f'd up mind is not the public, God help us all....
i can't believe i'm about to be on mudede's side here, but:
the first two responses here have gone on to blame the victim again for her choice in a man. no one expects her chosen spouse to murder her, and no one should expect that her chosen spouse will murder her.
women are killed by thier men often enough that instead of a reaction of shock and sorrow, we tend to immediately rush to find out how it was her fault. It's the guy's fucking fault for killing her. if she couldn't tell through her haze of love and excitement at finding someone she thought was good for her, that's sad (maybe at 40 she had stopped expecting an exciting new love - not that 40 is old in reality, but for a single woman, it can be pressure) but it doesn't mean she should have expected for her husband to kill her.
Yep, I'm with Unpaid Blogger and Phelix. She made a mistake. Very sadly, a fatal one. People make mistakes; they also frequently suffer the consequences of those errors. She didn't deserve to die, but she did (apparently) knowingly place herself in a dangerous situation. To think she played no part in this sad affair is ignorant.
But, why do you say "the case is now almost closed"? This is taken from the article you linked:
"The investigation we have is still ongoing," said Cpl. Dale Carr of the region's Integrated Homicide Investigation Team. "We haven't closed our minds. [Police] are committed to doing a thorough and complete investigation to find who was responsible for Shemina Hirji's death."
So they aren't assuming that because he was the only suspect, he must have done it. Although on the face of it, he was the most logical choice. Small wonder they looked at him long and hard -- and probably still are.
And which "people" are laying all the blame on the victim? Or saying he was much too young, or that she was marrying beneath her station, as it were?
Yes, I wouldn't expect someone with no criminal record to hurt me. I would be surprised and shocked if someone with no violent history assaulted me out of the blue.
This was not the case here.
Make no mistake about what the first few posts are saying: what this man allegedly did was despicable. But I think it would be pure folly to think that her poor judgment is somehow irrelevant. People have a responsibility to look after themselves. It doesn't make what happened to her "all her fault", but her choices, her *informed* choices, helped to lead her to this fate.
It makes it no less sad, no less tragic, but it also makes me want to beat my head on my desk, wondering what the heck this woman was thinking.
Charles point is that blaming the victim is a psychological pallative, regardless of the particular transgression we invent to rationalize that blame.
It's rather discomforting to think that tragedy can befall good people for no good reason.
"It's rather discomforting to think that tragedy can befall good people for no good reason."
Yes, like when some random, unforseeable event takes your life, like a sudden serious illness, a rock being dropped on your head as you drive under an overpass, a stray bullet coming through the wall of your house and killing you, a home invasion...
Those kind of lethal events have no good reason. Totally unpredictable.
Was this particular husband's behavior, given his past, unpredictable?
I take no comfort from believing it was. If anything, it makes the whole thing more messed up. It makes it worse.
The Mind of an Idiot. Your post totally misconstrues the public sentiment and distorts the facts. The woman was murdered, show some respect.
I find this to be one of the least offensive or controversial of Charles' posts. Did you all ignore this line? "The public feels safer when it can blame the victim for something that in truth was entirely out of his/her control."
And those claiming that the public isn't blaming the victim have been proved wrong by this very comments thread.
Erin, @ 4
I don't blame the victim for her death. That was tragic and is entirely the fault of whomever murdered her, whether it was the mysterious "home invaders" or the husband. Her death is not her fault.
That said, she made a very poor choice. If you associate, knowingly, with someone who is likely to do you harm, then you missed the chance to protect yourself.
The fault, the blame, the onus of her death belongs to the person/people who killed her, but there were things she could have done to prevent the situation. Just because she was in love, or feared being alone and single at 40, does not negate that she should be aware, should think for herself.
If a person chooses to put themselves in a dangerous situation, they are not innocent victims if that dangerous situation harms them.
If she had chosen to go walking alone at night in an area where there was a serial rapist on the loose, she would be in much the same situation as now. The victim of a crime that is not her fault, but a crime that she could have prevented with wiser choices.
Beautiful post Charles,
However discussing halacha with the goi is an exercize in futility. Their brains are too small to grasp the subtleties.
By Torah Law (halacha) the rapist is obligated to pay the girl/woman and marry her.
It is almost inconceivable today for a woman to wish to marry her rapist, especially if he is a stranger and a thug or a relative. The rapist would therefore be an accepted person in the community and the marriage would be of great benefit to the woman. So according to Jewish law there are serious monetary consequences for rape but not much beyond that.
The shiksa of the goi would complain about this and no amount of money would silence them, thus forcing the man to murder the shiksa.
In Israel halacha would have prevented this unfortunate murder since the two could have been happily married. So Charles is right, the ignorant goi sometimes cause great damage to women.
What the hell public have you been listening to? That doesn't sound like anything I've heard from anyone - not the papers, not the radio news, not the east indian or anglo communities... where the hell are you getting this from?
He's making it up for the purpose of generating comments. There is no basis for it. People in Vancouver aren't saying it. He's an asshole with no respect for her family.
Western Canada in general and the East Asian/Canadian community specifically, is grappling with a number of domestic murders in the past years. I don't think that the public here is blaming any of the murdered women for their deaths. It is my understanding that many within the Canadian East Asian community are starting to speak out about customs and values that place women at risk. Raising the issue of victim blaming is an important first step to opening up a discussion, but we have to go beyond this.
I will start with a question: why are (successful) women STILL marrying men that kill them? What are we teaching our girls if they think that a bad man is still better than no man at all?

Miller Joins Novogratz Owning Bitcoin in 'Venture Bet'
Bill Miller, the fund manager best known for value stock picks at Legg Mason Inc., said he owns Bitcoin through his personal investments, adding to a chorus of investors touting the virtual currency's potential.
"Bitcoin is like making a venture bet," Miller, who beat the Standard & Poor's 500 Index for a record 15 years through 2005 when he ran the Legg Mason Capital Management Value Trust, said today in an interview on Bloomberg Television's "Surveillance" with Tom Keene. "The potential return is huge."
Miller, 64, joins Michael Novogratz, a principal at private-equity firm Fortress Investment Group LLC, in buying bitcoin, a digital currency that has attracted attention from investors and regulators. Novogratz said in October he'd taken a "nice little Bitcoin position" with his own money. Pantera Capital Management LP, which manages money for Fortress executives, disclosed in a December regulatory filing that it had formed a $147 million investment fund for Bitcoin.
Created by an anonymous developer or developers using the name Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin is the most popular digital currency. Governments around the world are grappling with how to classify and regulate virtual currencies while exchanges have struggled to defend holdings from theft.
Hackers may have stolen more than $390 million in Bitcoin from Tokyo-based Mt. Gox, once the world's largest exchange for digital currency transactions. The price has dropped 28 percent since Jan. 31 to $608.82 yesterday, according to the CoinDesk Bitcoin Price Index.
'Technological Experiment'
Bitcoin is "an interesting intellectual and technological experiment," Miller said, adding he would buy Bitcoin for his funds "when Bloomberg can get a quote on it and it can be securely stored."
Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, the twins who claimed Mark Zuckerberg stole their idea for a social-networking website to start Facebook Inc., have said they are seeking to open the first exchange-traded fund tracking the virtual asset.
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. analysts said in a report last week that Bitcoin may have a future as an innovative payments technology instead of gaining wider use as a true alternative currency. Bitcoin's underlying technology could also enable new methods for payments and e-commerce.
Miller stepped down from the Legg Mason Value Trust in April 2012 after returns slumped following the financial crisis. He continues to oversee the $2.2 billion Legg Mason Opportunity Trust, co-managed by Samantha McLemore. It has returned an annual average of 31 percent over the past five years, beating 97 percent of peers, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Miller also opened his own new fund, the Miller Income Opportunity Trust, on Feb. 28. He manages the fund with his son, William Miller IV. The fund is overseen by LMM LLC, an investment firm that is owned in equal parts by the Millers and Legg Mason.

The Prime Minister has paid tribute to highly-regarded
conservationist, businesswoman, philanthropist and arts
patron Lady Diana Isaac, who died at home Canterbury home
last night.
Lady Diana is best known for co-founding and running Isaac
Construction with her now deceased husband Sir Neil Isaac.
She was also well regarded for the work for the work she had
done to help others, particularly as a champion for the arts
and conservation up until her death, said Mr Key, who said
his thoughts were with her friends and family.
Lady Diana's contribution to Canterbury and New Zealand was
truly remarkable.
It is difficult to imagine anyone who was more generous or
worked harder for the people of Canterbury," he said.
Lady Diana was born in Devonshire in England and met her New
Zealand husband Neil when they both served in the British
Army at the end of World War II.
They married in India and settled in New Zealand in 1950
where Sir Neil and Lady Diana founded their construction
The plantings they made on their quarrying operations
eventually became the 1100 hectare Peacock Springs
Conservation Park.
Lady Isaac was also a huge patron of the arts and her legacy
would endure through the Isaac Theatre Royal, the Isaac
Centre for Nature Conservation, and the creation of
scholarships at Lincoln and Canterbury Universities.
She was awarded a Queen's Service Medal and the New Zealand
Order of Merit.
"Lady Diana will be missed immensely but her decades of
philanthropy will be enjoyed for generations to come," says
Mr Key.

Earlier this year I began collecting data to analyze how different Texas colleges and universities handle sexual assault cases, as well as the number of Title IX cases at each campus. I sent open records requests to several universities for information regarding Title IX allegations, hearings and outcomes.
The Texas Senate accepted late Wednesday an amended House bill that would provide for more training for high school counselors on the state's new high school graduation plans aimed at making more students college ready.
Texas Sen. Charles Perry, R-Lubbock, sponsored HB 18 in the Senate. The amended version must go back to the House for possible reconciliation or approval before it reaches the Governor's desk.
Here's the full statement from Perry's office:
They're not exactly chanting Pink Floyd's grammatically incorrect protest, "We don't need no education."
But students in Hobbs, New Mexico joined the chorus of students, parents and teachers across the state and about a dozen other states who are opposed to a newly unveiled test aligned with federal Common Core standards.
New Mexico is among a dozen states debuting the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers tests this year, with Hobbs' testing day starting Monday.
I've met some notable people during my career, including senators, a Holocaust survivor, Michael Dorsey from "The Biggest Loser" and the U.S.'s first Latina governor, Susana Martinez. But I'd never met anyone quite as legendary as the great Bill Cosby. Until yesterday.
It'll go down in my book as a day I'll never forget.
Cosby, who needs no introduction, was speaking to area students at Texas Tech's Allen Theatre Tuesday about the importance of setting goals and going to college.
The following speech was delivered today by Rita Haecker, President of the Texas State Teachers Association, which endorsed Democrat Wendy Davis for governor earlier this year. It was entitled "Pre-Kindergarten works for children; Abbott doesn't."
"When I started my career, I taught first grade here in Austin, and I know, without question, that early childhood education and pre-kindergarten programs provide a foundation that shapes a child's career in school and in life.
According to a recent study by the Intercultural Development Research Association, Lubbock County schools have a lower attrition rate than the state average -- an 18 to 25 percent comparison.
In Texas, 99,575 students were lost from the public education system between the 2011-12 and 2012-13 school years, the study shows.
Lubbock County lost 588.
Almost five years ago, I sold my home of twenty-six years, a huge quirky mid-century place that required constant maintenance and a lot of sweat and toil. It was the place where I raised my son alone and weathered the myriad of storms and changes in my life.
Following up on a suggestion from this forum today will be an "open mic" day where I will post a brief comment and viewers can respond to that comment or go in an entirely different direction of conversation. The important aspect is that a discussion take place. Have a great day!
My initial musing is the following:
The gavel goes down Tuesday and with it, the 83rd session of the Texas Legislature begins. The three biggest issues, in my mind, are education, water, and healthcare. I'm hoping that representatives will deal with those first.

Hi Guys!
I've been having an issue with my site (http://www.theattic.net.au) whereby all my pages are just coming up blank!
I am also able to see some individual images such as this one: http://theattic.net.au/attic45.jpg
The funny thing is that i can still log in to my admin section without an issue and i can still see all my images and pages there as they should be, but something something's obviously not right.
I've already made sure that all permissions are as they should be (644 & 755)... I've also disabled all plugins and tried switching to the default theme, but as none of these have helped i'd really appreciate any advice!
Thanks in advance,

Savoring opera on the road
Published: Sunday, November 27, 2005 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, November 27, 2005 at 12:00 a.m.
When I visit my Canadian relatives, I sometimes drive long distances solo. I load operas into my car's CD player, because the airwaves are often more barren than the beautiful scenery. A good helping of Wagner, Mozart or Janacek helps to speed the trip.
My most recent trip included Toronto and Ontario's Muskoka region, then a stop in Rochester, N.Y., and home. The elapsed time to cover 2,100 miles was sufficient to complete three Wagner operas. First I overdosed on the knights of the Holy Grail: Parsifal followed by Lohengrin. Then I played The Flying Dutchman in a most interesting Bayreuth production.
The quality of the Vienna State Opera cast of Parsifal, conducted by Sir Georg Solti, is such that even minor roles are filled by major singers such as Lucia Popp and Kiri Te Kanawa. Heldentenor René Kollo sings Parsifal, Christa Ludwig sings Kundry and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau is Amfortas. Herbert von Karajan's Berlin Philharmonic recording of Lohengrin also has a strong cast, with Kollo appearing again, this time in the role of the mysterious knight who turns out to be Parsifal's son Lohengrin.
But let's concentrate on the third Wagner opera for this trip. The Flying Dutchman was the first opera for which Wagner wrote the poetry as well as the music. It is the opera that caused the public to recognize Wagner as a major talent. I own the very interesting 1985 Bayreuth recording. Conductor Woldemar Nelsson and the major artists (Simon Estes, Lisbeth Balslev, Matti Salminen, Robert Schunk) were associated with the Bayreuth Festival for most of the seven years that this production was in repertory, and the recording represents a mature realization of the production, which was performed 36 times.
Producer Harry Kupfer created a "modernist" reinterpretation of the story. In this version the central figure is not the male lead, cursed to sail the seven seas until released by the love of a maiden. Instead the focus is on the female lead Senta, cursed to live a tightly constrained life as a woman in an oppressive small village. Rebelling against her fore-ordained life ... to become a hausfrau married to a fisherman ... she dreams of being released through the intervention of a romantic (and imaginary) Dutch sailor. The clash of her dream with the reality of the coarse real-life Dutchman provides the emotional tension of the production. This is not the story intended by Wagner, but who cares?
To match the tragic altered story, which ends without a final "deliverance" scene, the producer went back to Wagner's original score, which also had a "hard" ending. Included are some difficult sections typically cut in recent years, and in this recording the soloists' mastery of the restored score is breath-taking.
Bayreuth recorded this Flying Dutchman in 1985, and also filmed the production for television broadcast in Europe. Recently that film has been released on DVD at a remarkably low price, and my next step will be to buy the DVD and treat myself to the visual impact of this unusual production.
I have lived through the birth, maturing, and demise of the Long Playing record, replaced by CDs. As operas are now released on DVD, I may live to see the demise of the CD recording, at least for opera. My only regret will be that I can't figure any way to watch a DVD on a long automobile trip.

Comic-Con Trailers: The Best of the Best, Ranked
Film, TV
Comic Book Questions Answered – where I answer whatever questions you folks might have about comic books (feel free to e-mail questions to me at email@example.com). Here is a link to an archive of all the past questions that have been answered so far.
Today we look into a Batman "variant cover" being sold on eBay.
Today, reader Jeff wrote in to ask:
I came across several Batman #0 comic books for sell on ebay with variant covers by "J. Gates former Disney artist." I can find no mention of these variants anywhere. Do you know anything about them? Who exactly is J. Gates? How rare are these variant?
Here is one of the covers in question:
Here is a link to the eBay auction.
Well, Jeff, what Jay Gates is doing here is taking the blank cover variants that DC did for Batman #0 (that you could get at most retail stores for cover price) and then drawing on the cover and selling it as a "sketch variant."
It likely is "rare," in the sense that there are only as many as Gates personally drew.
But it is just an artist drawing on a blank cover. Here is the blank cover variant…
So Gates just drew on the blank cover and he (or a third party eBay seller) is now selling it for $30.
If you like Gates' artwork enough to pay $30 for an original drawing, fair enough. But this is not any sort of official variant cover.
As to Jay Gates' background, I don't know. I looked him up but found no information. I would be interested in learning what work he has done for Disney.
I'd guess, based on this effort, that "Gates" is a guy who worked as a caricaturist at one of the parks. We'd know for sure if there's another one with the Joker riding a skateboard or surfing.
wouldn't a regular commission be worth more than $30?
Depends on the artist.
Wait, wait, wait, hold up a sec. A "Jeff" wrote in about a "J." Gates and pointed to an ongoing eBay auction… I smell a sneaky self-promotion. "J" must have worked in Disney's marketing department.
I see "J. Gates" is a slang term per the Urban Dictionary:
It looks to be fan art of the pre-New52 Joker.
It is sort of amazing that you can get a custom drawn cover.
But there is art under the logo and the credits. Did he draw around them?
But there is art under the logo and the credits. Did he draw around them?
I'd imagine, yes.
Wow, I totally want to get one of those blank covers and draw on it. Not to sell it or anything, just because that's awesome.
The basic concept of blank covers (at least when they were first introduced) was that they'd be perfect for bringing to conventions and getting an artist to do a sketch on them (the Hero Project used that concept for the 100 Project collection for Ultimate Spider-Man #100, where famous artists all contributed drawings on the blank cover).
So yeah, I can imagine it would be fun to draw on them.
Anyone asked Rich Johnston where Rob Granito's been lately?
One interesting thing to me is that the regular zero issues didn't have the "We Can Be Heroes" banner up top — DC did that on the books a couple issues back.
So actually, thinking about it, it must be like those 100 Project books where the blank cover is being done specifically for that charity. And I'm guessing that this artist isn't necessarily contributing to it.
On another note, I find it amusing that that charity uses the line from the Bowie song about 2 lovers, strung out on each other, near the Berlin Wall. With Robert Fripp guitar in the background. "You, you can be mean/and I, I'll drink all the time". Makes ME want to help the people of Africa.
I would love for a comic book expert to tell me when and why South Hinckley was changed to Sandy Hook. The conspiracy theorists are going nuts over this and I would like a logical answer….there's gotta be one…right??
You have to be careful with eBay. Back when I was just getting started with it, I purchased a set of Legion of Superheroes ID cards for $30, they included almost every member and I thought it was an old set from before I had started collecting. When they arrived, it turned out they were printed on copy paper surely on the guy's home printer and placed inside cheap plastic card holders. I went back to look at the listing and found the key phrase that I had failed to correctly interpret – "custom-crafted" – that meant home made. The lesson is, anybody can sell almost anything, and if you buy without getting or understanding all of the information necessary, it's your own fault. (I guess that was a pretty long-winded way of saying buyer beware.) Still, it's a hell of an effort. He colored the DC logo and the little empty spaces beneath the B and the A's in the Batman logo.

Fischer Audio TBA-04 IEM
"When my 2 year old DBA02 mkii's lost left channel signal strength, I needed a replacement, pronto. I took note of some good sounding < IEMs from |joker|'s list and headed off to the nearest headphone store - to tide me over till I went custom, so the idea went. (I totally agree with |joker|'s 9.2 assessment of SQ on the DBA 02 mkii, fyi) As it turned out, they..." --exsomnis
Fischer Audio DBA-02 Mk II
" The DBA-02 Mk IIs are getting a lot of the same fame and respect their initial version siblings got. While initial comparisons suggest the Mk IIs are not as distinctive as the originals in shining with as fearless a midrange and treble, the major sonic character seems to have carried. (I never heard the originals but have gathered this from others' opinions.) And..." --ScuderiaHeadFi

Fischer Audio Omega Ace
"Just gonna do a brief review. Got these for RM250, which translates to roughly 62USD. For that price, you would not even be able to find another pair of over-the-ear IEMs. Overall, the build feels pretty solid despite the plastic housing and it comes with a twisted cable. The drivers aren't big, and thus fits into the ears well without any protruding parts. Comfort wise, these pair of IEMs are..." --Asher Lim

Fischer Audio ToughStuff-9001
" Straight out of SANSA Clip+ Bass is accurate, punchy and deep, the mids are slightly recessed and the treble is very crisp. Clarity is up to Fischer standards, no veiled sound here.

There is no denying that the world of media and communications is constantly evolving. Twenty years ago social media didn't even exist, yet two short decades later, it has found its way to the core of the business world. In technology PR, we've become accustomed to social media announcements that can shake things up – which leads me to Twitter's new algorithmic timeline and its impact from both a brand and PR perspective.
This year, Breakaway joined three of our clients— BlackBerry's QNX Software Systems, Elektrobit (EB), and Ricoh Imaging Americas Corporation,—on the CES show floor. Jam-packed with exciting announcements and interactive demos, CES 2016 was one for the books!
"To like a Facebook post or not to like," that is the question. Fear not Facebook users, the Facebook God, or rather, Mark Zuckerberg, has answered with the emoji reactions.
Breakaway had the exciting opportunity to launch Ricoh Imaging and Ricoh Americas' new 360-degree spherical imaging camera, the Theta S, at the Diamond Horseshoe Theater in NYC earlier this month. The Theta S is the newest model in the Ricoh Theta series of cameras that capture fully spherical 360-degree high-resolution stills and HD video, allowing viewers to see all of a scene: up, down and all around! The camera features extra-high resolution, easy operation via a single button on the camera or via the Theta S smartphone app, a live preview function and the ability to share images via social platforms.
Breakaway recently participated in Doug Newcomb's Connected Car Conference (C3) in NYC! Thought leaders who spoke and exhibited at the show included the AAA, Pioneer, Hyundai, and QNX Software Systems. QNX Software Systems showcased its latest technology concept car based on a Maserati Quattroporte. Check out the pictures below of press getting demos of QNX Software Systems' platform in action in the car along with Breakaway AE Tricia Nugent. Be sure to read Doug's recap of the panel "Tackling Connected Car Security and Privacy Concerns," which included Derek Kuhn of BlackBerry Technology Solutions.
I recently attended the International Motor Press Association 2015 Conference at the Automotive Education Center in Whitestone, NY. The theme of the conference was "Media, Monetization and You: The Future of Automotive Media," and it shared insights on all things media – from using social apps, to creating brand authenticity, to monetizing your content.
