Ear Infection
Ear Infections
WebMD Feature
Ear infection: The diagnosis strikes fear in the hearts of parents, who want to do what's best for their child but tend to get conflicting medical advice. What makes ear infections so troubling is not only the damage that repeated infections can cause, but also the danger of over-treating the infection: antibiotic resistance. What's a concerned parent to do? Here's what the experts know.
Usually Not a Cause for Alarm
Two-thirds of children have had an ear infection, also known as acute otitis media, before their first birthday. Young children are susceptible to these infections in part because their eustachian tube, which connects the middle ear to the throat and nose, is underdeveloped and lies at a horizontal angle (it becomes more angled with age), easily clogging with fluid. Also, young children's immune systems are still developing, putting them at high risk for upper respiratory infections, which can lead to ear infections.

The NBA's Regular-Guy Coach
Tom Thibodeau of the Chicago Bulls Never Played in the League, but His Players Still Listen
During games, he barks instructions from the bench with the delicacy of an 18-wheeler grinding its way uphill. With reporters, he's unfailingly polite but seldom makes eye contact. He comes across as shy and earnest, preferring to cede the stage to his players. His boss, Chicago Bulls general manager Gar Forman, says he likes to come in early and leave late.
"He told me he has a rare stamp collection," Forman said.
Tom Thibodeau, a rumpled, 53-year-old bachelor, is the sort of guy who might look at home selling vacuum cleaners or manning a backhoe. Instead, he guided the Chicago Bulls to the NBA's best record this season and claimed the league's Coach Of the Year award. The Bulls are tied with the Atlanta Hawks at two games apiece in their best-of-seven Eastern Conference semifinal series. Game 5 is Tuesday at Chicago's United Center.
Within the celebrity culture of the NBA, where most coaches are former stars who wear pocket squares, Thibodeau is the guy with the precariously knotted tie whose basketball career maxed out in 1981 when he captained the Division III Salem (Mass.) State Vikings. Before the Bulls bucked convention and hired him last June, he'd worked his way up from coaching at his alma mater to joining the staff at Harvard and spending more than two decades as a journeyman assistant with six NBA teams. In 2008, he won his first NBA title as an assistant to Doc Rivers on the Boston Celtics.
"All coaches are a sum of their past experiences," Thibodeau said at a news conference this month. A team spokesman said Thibodeau was unavailable for an interview Monday.
During his 21-year slog to the top, Thibodeau established himself as a tireless worker and as something of a defensive savant. This season, the Bulls led the league in the categories of field-goal-percentage defense and rebounding margin—a fact that didn't come as a surprise to his friends and advocates.
"He was ready for this sort of opportunity 15 years ago," said Jeff Van Gundy, the former head coach of the New York Knicks and Houston Rockets. "I'll say this: Chicago wasn't worried about winning the press conference. They were worried about winning more games."
Former players have always had an advantage when it comes to nabbing head-coaching jobs. Since the 1980-81 season, 45% of the league's coaches played in the NBA or now-defunct American Basketball Association, according to Stats Inc.
The requirement seems to be getting firmer. This past season, 25 of the league's 33 total head coaches (including coaching changes) were former players. In Chicago, Thibodeau succeeded Vinny Del Negro, a former player who coached the Bulls to back-to-back .500 seasons and a pair of opening-round exits from the playoffs.
John Lucas, the former coach of the San Antonio Spurs, Philadelphia 76ers and Cleveland Cavaliers, said there's a perception in the NBA that ex-players are better able to relate to multi-millionaire athletes and command their respect. Others say that hiring someone whom fans recognize can give teams a bump in ticket sales and general public relations.
When the Bulls brought Thibodeau on board, nobody rioted in celebration. One columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times described Thibodeau as a "guy" who'd spent years "sleeping on ballbags."
There's no evidence that former NBA players actually make better coaches. Since the league's inception, they've combined for a .499 regular-season winning percentage. Coaches who never played in the NBA have a .501 all-time winning percentage. "There's no formula," Lucas said.
Thibodeau's work ethic has become the stuff of legend in basketball circles. John Galaris, a longtime friend and the former athletics director at Salem State, recalled visiting Thibodeau when he was an assistant with the Spurs. Thibodeau was up at 4 a.m. breaking down film. "I swear the guy only sleeps four hours a night," Galaris said.
Jon Barry, who played for the Rockets when Thibodeau was an assistant there under Van Gundy, said Thibodeau was an effective one-on-one teacher, citing the countless hours he spent working with Yao Ming on his footwork and the daily handwritten notes he made for each of the team's players.
Thibodeau certainly has benefited from the emergence of Bulls point guard Derrick Rose, the league's Most Valuable Player. But he has also achieved what has become the litmus test for modern NBA coaches: getting the team to listen. "Players are going to respect you if they think you know what you're doing on a daily basis," Forman said. "They know this is a guy who's prepared and has a plan."
The only danger with Thibodeau's success, Van Gundy said, is that the stories people tell sometimes portray him as some sort of drone who has prospered only by the volume of effort, rather than the quality. "He's not a beaver building a dam," Van Gundy said. "He's not just a guy who works, works, works. He also has a brilliant basketball mind."
Peter Roby, the athletics director at Northeastern University and the former head coach at Harvard, where Thibodeau spent four seasons as an assistant, said he hopes Thibodeau's success will give teams the "social permission" to consider more unconventional hires.
"He wasn't a former player, and he didn't have a big college reputation," Roby said. "He just happened to be someone who understood the NBA, could relate to players, was willing to outwork everyone and knew what he was talking about."

"I believe that it is important to focus not only on mental health, but on the whole person. No one part of our being survives alone. All parts play significant roles, including physical, emotional and spiritual elements. I believe that we all have an innate ability to follow our intuition and achieve what we want in our lives. Often, we need to relearn to trust our intuition because life experiences have convinced us to fight against what we know to be best for us. My passion is helping others to relearn this balance to make the best out of life."

Sessions are private and confidential, except in matters of safety, as mandated by ethical codes and/or law. Clients however, reserve the right to share session information or treatment notes with others by written consent. As client, you are the expert of your experiences and with this in mind, therapy is individually tailored, within an appropriate framework of psychotherapy. Specific psycho-educational information is provided to assist you in the attainment, development, and enhancement of coping skills."

"I have diverse experience in the field of counseling. This includes children, adolescents, teenagers, adults, as well as family and couples counseling. I feel that some of the most essential parts of counseling are education, awareness, and forming connections. The knowledge gained through counseling can lead to greater control over one's circumstances. Furthermore, in order to make connections, one must feel heard. When we feel heard, we feel understood, which enables the development of these connections and positive emotions. This leads to forming opportunities that can help us turn life's challenges into a journey."
"I love that I get to do such gratifying and rewarding work for in such a beautiful state. My approach to therapy is highly personalized, collaborative, compassionate and non-judgemental. Appropriate boundaries and ethical behavior are paramount to how I conduct my practice and connnect with my clients. I enjoy taking into account the influence of gender, culture and ethnicity--All these things and more shape how we interact interpersonally and how we face challenges."
""We are living in an exciting and challenging time in history. I believe it is our divine right to be healthy, happy and prosperous. I believe in the mind, body connection and in a holistic approach to treatment. Research shows that the most effective treatment includes a combination of therapy and medication. Of course that does not pertain to every case. I make every effort to keep up with the most recent treatment modalities in order to enhance my therapeutic approach.""

"My vision of therapy is meeting my clients as whole people who sometimes need a new perspective. At other times, a couple may need a third party to help them hear one another. Grieving children need to learn that their surviving loved ones are not going to abandon them. I have worked with all ages first as a special education teacher, later as a college counselor, and as a grief counselor with hospices. My life experiences enable me to meet you with an open mind. Through CBT and a mix of mindfulness and positive psychology, I help people reframe their thoughts."
Martinsburg, West Virginia 25401
"My specialty is stress management using a holistic approach. I realize after working in the field of mental health that much of the anxiety/depression that clients are struggling with is related to stress, either from their past or present. Receiving professional care for physical problems is important as is care for spiritual (hopelessness) and mental problems. I enjoy working with individuals, couples and families. Receiving professional help to communicate more effectively can be very helpful. My counseling approach includes cognitive behavioral, family and couples work. I enjoy teaching relaxation techniques (mindfulness) and helping clients with healthier lifestyle choices."

MIDDLEBURY — Several county residents, competing with top players from up and down the East Coast, claimed division titles when the professional horseshoe pitching tour came to Middlebury last week.
Bristol's Brian Simmons won the top prize of about $1,000 by winning the Division 1 40-foot competition in the Green Mountain Challenge. Debra Brown was champion in the Division 1 30-foot category.
ADDISON COUNTY — The race between incumbent William Sorrell and challenger T.J. Donovan for the Democratic Party's nomination for state attorney general was tight in Addison County, though not as tight as it was in statewide voting Tuesday. And, as in the rest of the state, Sorrell came out the winner.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Bristol 17-year-old Brianna McCormick was in the title match at the National Horseshoe Pitchers Association World Championship on Aug. 11 and she found herself 11 points behind Heather Feavel of Wisconsin.
McCormick ratcheted up her game, started throwing ringers and earned the next 14 points.
The rising senior at Mount Abraham Union High School pulled away from Feavel and won the match 40-29, hitting ringers nearly two out of every three throws.
NEW HAVEN — Fourteen-year-old Amy Pitts likes animals. She has a horse and a three-year-old Sheltie named Ginger.
The New Haven teen recently began sharing that love for animals with folks at the Eastview retirement community in Middlebury. She put her dog and herself through a therapy dog training, and now visits residents there and gives them the opportunity to stroke Ginger and reminisce about the pets they'd owned over the years.

STARKSBORO — Public Health authorities are urging people to be aware that rabid animals have been confirmed in Addison County, and to take precautions when they see an animal that may have rabies.
This comes after a four-and-a-half-year-old boy in Starksboro was treated for rabies after being bitten by a raccoon on his back porch.
ADDISON COUNTY — A group of high school students from Japan that recently visited Vermont learned not just about the cultural differences between their home country and the Green Mountain State, but also got some first-hand experience and education on how Vermonters are trying to integrate more local foods into their lives.
It was all under the Green Across the Pacific Environmental Leadership Exchange program, an international program, run by Shoreham resident Peter Lynch, which seeks to improve cultural and environmental awareness and cooperation.

text: How the river was namedThis is a joke story told among schoolchildren in Toledo, regarding the Maumee river. The city fathers couldn't decide on a name for a river, so they kidnapped a child and threatened to throw him in unless he named the river. The child refused, so they threw him in. He yelled "Mommy! Mommy!" so they fished him out and called the river the "Maumee".

It consists of four sections. The first covers parole and mandatory release population movement breakdowns, including year-end population figures, the number of entries, and the number of removals. The second updates selected paroling authority characteristics. The third section explores relationships of parole and mandatory release data within the context of overall criminal justice system statistics, including state populations, violent crime levels, jail and prison populations, and rates of use of parole and mandatory release. The fourth section examines longer term trends in parole and mandatory release in comparison to total procedures explored in the national survey. Data were obtained from all 50 State Parole/Correctional Agencies as well as the District of Columbia, the U.S. Parole Commission, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. The report appendixes include data tables, table notes, agency notes, and reference works cited. (Author abstract modified).

Just as sweet the second time for Brookfield East
La Crosse - Going into the WIAA boys state track and field meet, Brookfield East coach Mike Steiner warned his team that the championship might not be decided until the final race of the weekend.
As it turned out, it took the final race plus one before East's second consecutive Division 1 championship was in the books at UW-La Crosse's Memorial Stadium.
Despite what turned out to be a controversial finish, the Spartans savored their victory.
"It's fantastic," said Spartans senior Kyle Rohde, who scored in the long jump and triple jump. "To win it two years in a row, that's a whole different story. Nobody really does back-to-back. It's very tough. Last year we went in and we thought it was ours to lose because we were up there. This year we thought it was ours to win. We had to run our best, jump our best, and we did."
Said Steiner, "Our goal was to be in the top five. We felt like if we had a great weekend and some other teams made some errors that maybe we would be in it at the end. Our kids came ready to go."
It was a record-setting day for some area athletes as Brookfield Central (junior Andrew Dusing, senior Nick Petersson, senior Amir Alwan, junior Carl Hirsch) set a Division 1 record by winning the 3,200-meter relay in 7 minutes 40.09 seconds; and Cedarburg senior Josh Dixon set a Division 1 record by winning the triple jump with a mark of 49 feet 1¼ inches. East Troy junior Cody Zaeske broke a Division 2 long jump re cord that had stood since 1966 with a leap of 23-8¾.
It appeared the meet had ended after Arrowhead won the 1,600 relay - the final event of the day - but after the race Milwaukee Riverside was disqualified for impeding a runner. Meet officials met with coaches of teams that had competed in the event, and after what was said to be a heated meeting officials ruled the event would be run again after a 30-minute rest period.
La Crosse Central won the second running of the 1,600 relay with Arrowhead dropping to seventh. Had Arrowhead been credited with its initial victory, it would have finished second in the final team standings. After the second running, the Warhawks finished seventh overall.
It was a solemn group of Warhawks who lingered in the infield as the team trophies were being presented.
"I've never seen anything like that (ruling) in a race this long," said Arrowhead coach Chris Herriot. "We had a kid get knocked down in the 32 and we didn't re-run it for that. In our hearts, we know that when it counted, we did it. . . . I'm at a loss for words.
"The biggest thing is the emotional drain. Going from you just won it. . . everything you've ever dreamed of and then they take that away. We had everything to lose and we did."
Brookfield East finished fifth in both runnings of the 1,600 relay and would have won the team championship either way, yet Steiner felt bad for the teams that were adversely affected by the re-run.
"It was not something I was in favor of," he said. "That's asking a lot of these athletes to come back 30 minutes later and run that race again.
"The big thing was it affected some of the team standings below us and I wouldn't want to be in the position of the teams below us. I don't know if that was a good thing."
Brookfield East finished with 39 points with La Crosse Central second (35) and Brookfield Central third (30). Arrowhead finished with 26 points.
Rohde finished second in the long jump and third in the triple jump, while junior Brad Johnson won the 800 and junior Trenton Daniels was fourth in the 400. The 1,600 relay team (Johnson, Daniels, seniors Kevin Kashian and Karl Brandstaetter) was fifth, and the 3,200 relay (Kashian, Daniels, Johnson and sophomore Stephan Browne) finished third.
"Two (championships) in a row," said Johnson. "Hopefully three next year."
Dixon said that while he tried to quickly forget about his disappointing third-place performance in Friday's long jump, he also used it as motivation for the triple jump.
"Short memory," he said. "But I knew I had to come here today and give more of my best after yesterday."
Shorewood junior Justin Rabon was the star of the Division 2 meet as he won the 200 and 400, and ran a leg on the winning 1,600 relay.
"It was really nice to know that all my hard work finally paid off the way I wanted it to," he said. "And then to finish it with my team (in the relay) was just wonderful."

Golly gosh! Enid Blyton books get modern revamp
- From: NewsCore
- March 28, 2012
ENID Blyton novels, including the wildly popular The Secret Seven adventure series, will be dragged into the 21st century - with a planned revamp that will see "jolly japes," "golly gosh" and "mercy me" dumped in favour of contemporary phrases.
Additionally, more works by the famous English children's author will be available for download as part of an ongoing effort to "catapult Enid Blyton into contemporary society," The Independent reported today, citing publisher Hachette UK.
The publisher - which bought the rights to Blyton's estate, excluding Noddy - updated The Famous Five series last year to the dismay of some fans.
"We will look at all of the works," Hatchette's managing director of children's books, Marlene Johnson, said. "We modernized The Famous Five last year, amid much murmuring. But these days you don't talk of jolly japes to kids."
Hachette UK is hopeful the changes - which will leave storylines untouched - will attract more children who may have been put off by phrases they did not understand.
Long-time fans of Blyton may also be in for a treat, with the discovery of what could be an unpublished Famous Five manuscript entitled Happy Christmas, Five.
Blyton, who died in 1968, was the 20th bestselling author in the UK in 2011. Her portfolio of works include 186 novels, 896 short stories and 267 education books, among others. She has sold some 600 million books worldwide to date.
But some of her books have been plagued by controversy in recent years - with accusations that they are elite and racist.
Read more about the modernised Enid Blyton books at The Independent.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Louisville, Kentucky for a conference.

Those Kentucky-ites love their bourbon and use it in every kind of food imaginable. One of the all time favorites is … Continue reading

I have just started using TrueCrypt on the go to encrypt my entire external usb disk. Everything works nicely, now I just have one question:
I plug in the disk and mount it with TrueCrypt. I can copy files on to it and read it. All seems ok. Then I decide to kill the
autocrypt process from running in the background and I can still write files on that disk.
Why is that?
Does it mean it will still be encrypting even though process isn't running anymore?
I'm talking about windows TrueCrypt on the go version.

Thank you for your help.

It was strikingly appropriate that Sir Geoffrey Hill should have focused his final lecture as Oxford Professor of Poetry on a quotation from Charles Williams. Not only was the lecture, in May 2015, delivered almost exactly seventy years after Williams's death; but Williams himself had once hoped to become Professor of Poetry.
The post Charles Williams: Oxford's lost poetry professor appeared first on OUPblog.

Lexus is approaching its first quarter century, but it hasn't yet managed to loosen the stranglehold the Germans have on the executive car market. So could this new IS, driven here for the first time in the UK, be the car to do it?
There are some things that Lexus does better than anyone else – its dealers for example. You will not get better levels of service from any other car maker – fact. Lexus topped our annual Driver Power poll last year and is a regular at the top of customer satisfaction surveys.
• Lexus
So you'll get pampered by the dealers, and the car does a fair job of spoiling you, too. This top spec hybrid IS costs perilously close to £40,000 – a swifter and similarly frugal BMW 320d costs considerably less. But the Lexus counters with bells, whistles and a few more bells. And its petrol engine means fuel costs less as will company car tax.
Everything from heated and ventilated front seats (leather, of course) to an excellent surround sound audio system come as standard. The navigation, phone, audio and many car systems are controlled by Lexus's mouse-like Remote Touch system, which has evolved nicely and is now quite simple to use. Shame, then, that the system on our car was ponderously slow to the point of stopping and we couldn't play audio from an iPhone without the music stuttering. Even the sat-nav sounded like it had hiccups.
The feeling of well-being is enhanced by incredible refinement on the move. Drive gently and you'll barely hear a thing from under the bonnet, not least because the car will drive on electric power whenever it can. Wind and road noise are minimal, too. Ask for more power and the 2.5-litre four cylinder petrol engine springs into life, yet the whole system remains smoother and quieter than any diesel.
Lexus's choice of Continuously Variable Transmission has caused much controversy, but again, if you drive gently, your only remark will be how slick and quiet it is.
But start to press on, and the CVT's slow reactions get a bit frustrating – there's a bit of a time lag before power arrives. Switch to Sport mode and not only will a rev counter appear where a gauge that showed whether you were in the charge, eco or power mode used to be, but electronic steps in the transmission will become more apparent, as will an engineered engine note.
It's an odd noise – maybe beefier than you'd expect, but also too synthesized and, like the power response, a bit delayed.
The IS does feel quite sporty, though – there's good grip, not much body roll and steering that's quick to react if short on feel. And the ride is firm, but comfy around town, yet gets a bit jittery on the motorway.
Where this Lexus really scores again, though, is on quality and efficiency. The interior is superbly appointed and spacious, but the dash design is a bit haphazard. Everything works with slick precision, apart from the annoying indicators that too often don't self cancel. Outside, the paint finish is glass-like and flawless.
Our 300-mile real world test drive resulted in a decent average of 45mpg – pretty good, if some way short of the claimed 60.1 average. However, company car buyers will love the low CO2 figures and petrol engine which will keep their bills low.

Louis Vuitton Cup- Cheap point for new helmsman
by Bob Fisher on 28 Jul 2013
Emirates Team New Zealand NZL5 with Glenn Ashby driving practice before the Round Robin 4, Artemis race. Louis Vuitton Cup. San Francisco. Chris Cameron/ETNZ©
For the first time in the Louis Vuitton Cup races for six years, Dean Barker was absent from the wheel of Emirates Team New Zealand, and his place as helmsman was taken by Glenn Ashby, normally the wing trimmer.
Ashby's credentials for the job are more than sufficient, having won 14 world championships in three multihull classes and ten Australian A-class catamaran championships.
The south-westerly breezes in San Francisco Bay were lighter than usual, at an average of 13 knots, peaking at 15.7. Nevertheless, Ashby and the Kiwi crew sailed the AC-72 around the five-leg, 9.64-mile course in 30':59' at an average of 22.8 knots, with a top speed of 33.8 knots. It was an impressive performance in what should have been a race against Artemis that gave the reserve helmsman good practice on the racecourse.
There was just one moment of concern for the ETNZ crew. It occurred as the boat rounded the windward gate and was about to gybe. A family cruising boat had strayed on to the course as Ashby prepared for the downwind manoeuvre shortly after bearing away – he was forced to gybe early to miss the boat. 'Not the sort of thing you would want if you were in a close race,' declared a smiling wing trimmer Adam Beashel.
At the end of the fourth round robin of the Louis Vuitton Cup, Emirates Team New Zealand leads with eight points and Luna Rossa has four; the Swedish team, Artemis, has yet to race. The blue boat has been out for practice on three occasions, but stayed in her Alameda base today. Tomorrow sees ETNZ matched against Luna Rossa in the fifth round.

FRANCE: Renault/Caterham JV regional aid split between grant and repayable loan
By Simon Warburton | 5 November 2012
Regional aid to Renault's joint venture in Dieppe with UK operation, Caterham, to produce Alpine models, will take the form of a partial grant and a repayable loan.
Precise figures surrounding details of the financial package have not been revealed, but the deal secures at least 300 jobs at the northern France site and, according to Renault, the possibility of new ones being created.
"We have not given figures," a spokeswoman for the Haute-Normandie region, under whose jurisdiction Dieppe falls, told just-auto from France. "We have supported it [JV project] in the form of a refundable advance and a grant which is not refundable."
The regional council, comprising two French departments, declined to be drawn on the percentage split between the grant and repayable loan, but the importance of today's (5 November) news can be gauged by the presence at the launch conference of French Economic Redevelopment Minister, Arnaud Montebourg.
"After weeks of work, this announcement is just reward," said Haute-Normandie president, Alain Le Vern, in a statement emailed to just-auto. "With the Economic Redevelopment Minister, we have worked daily with Renault to agree this partnership.
"The region - notably in the framework of its energy projects - will mobilise its economic help for the project. The regional authority will be the first public partner of this project."
The Alpine plant in Dieppe currently builds vehicles developed by Renault Sport Technologies, both production - Clio RS - and racing models.
The Dieppe plant, built in 1969, is the home of the Alpine brand which produced models such as the Berlinette.

Dh and I had a few problems several months ago with communication and other stuff. We decided to work it out and make more time for one another. One of our issues has always been sex and a lack of sex. He has a much slowly drive than I do. I'm a 3 times a seeker and he is more of an every 10 days if we're lucky. We agreed that we wanted to dtd more often like once per week. It's been going well. We are very in love and a lot of our other issues are being worked on as well.
Here is the thing, now that we actually have sex I realize how bad it really is. He is not good at it or we are not good at it. We were virgins until we got married and we have been married for almost 6 years now. I have only had an orgasm once and it wasn't durring sex. My clit is super sensitive and it gets more uncomfortable than pleasure full when its touched. I just feel like our sex life will never be good. He seems happy with it tho and I am glad of that. I just feel like there is something wrong with me.

Do you really want to read crappy corporate pitches?
In the last few days one of the hot topics on the interweb has been how PR people pitch bloggers. Some bloggers have begun to "out" these pr firms and create a list so people can put them into their spam filters and not receive e-mails from them. They are calling it a blacklist. Now PR people are pissed and there is a little argument going on about the ego of bloggers and how the process works. (I have to say I love the internet. It is like high school. You have people in different groups that bash people in other groups and then name-calling commences.)
I get a lot of e-mails daily with press releases or reminder e-mails about certain topics that companies want me to blog about. These e-mails always start in the same style, "Hey you know what your readers might think is really cool?" This is where I get annoyed because I don't think they have your best interest at heart. In fact they don't even know you guys. Because I have a feeling that you have zero interest these following pitches:
The new Uber Index is the premiere online destination for daily conversations on culture. Contributors to the Uber Index represent some of the brightest and most influential names in style, art, music, photography and social activism, and the Uber Index uses their views and opinions to spur discussions across various communities. Think of it as a culturally-focused Huffington Post. Is this something that your readers would be interested in learning more about?
Among the diverse collection of Uber Index contributors are investigative journalist/social activist Lisa Ling (Oprah, National Geographic), "It-girl" Cory Kennedy, hip-hop icon Reverend Run (RUN DMC)….
Wait a second Lisa Ling and Reverend Run have a blog on a site together? Holy crap in a hand basket does any give a shit what either of these people have to say? I know I sure as hell don't. The only thing I care about Lisa Ling is to ask her why she gets canned from so many jobs? And of course the obvious question about her vagina and eyes being the same shape. Also I have no fucking idea who Cory Kennedy is. Either I am that unhip or she isn't that big of an "it-girl"…
Remember when Parker Posey was the "it-girl" back in the late 90s? I like Parker Posey…Anyways.
Another pitch that I got recently was for a bunch of videos that Mo Rocca (formerly of the Daily Show) has made for Bank of America about banking. I guess Mo has come on some hard times and making these soul-crushing videos with weak attempts at humor is putting food on his table. Here was their pitch:
Mo Rocca has tackled some of televisions finest comedy programs. Now, the popular comedian is bringing banking to the people in a series of exclusive web videos that feature "Mo on Banking". Known for his unique "man on the street" interviews, Mo is out and about in New York City, hoping to find out how others handle their finances. And, with his unique wit and sly humor, Mo makes sure that this is not like any financial inquiry you've ever seen!
First of all I am under the impression that none of you even have a checking account. For some reason I imagine the people that read this crap squirrel money away in their grandmother's old prosthetic limb that they keep in a closet. (Ok fine, you all probably have bank accounts but I rather imagine with the prosthetic limb thing because it is that much cooler.) And honestly if I posted a video about wacky banking advice you wouldn't rush out of your house screaming, "I don't think I have proper over draft protection!" Just so you know if you are getting your banking advice from me you should probably just lob yourself off the top story of a building now, I write a fucking humor blog.
In closing I want to ask you the following questions. Answer them all, answer one, or talk about what underwear you are wearing today.
1) Do you give a shit what Lisa Ling has to say?
2) Do you give a shit about what any corporate press release has to say unless it is a recall of all chicken products because they are poisonous?
3) How far as Mo Rocca sunk?

I read you webblog about the Office 2003 PIA installed in the GAC. I have found several issues that make this solution extremely problemmatic for developers.
First, I currently compile my Visio 2002 addin on a box that does not have visio on it. I can do this beacuse I reference the Office XP PIA's directly. I have ported my Addin to Visio 2003 and found that I can't install the Visio 2003 PIA without installed visio 2003 on my build box. So no I am forced to install another copy of visio 2003 on my build box so the PIA will show up in GAC.
Secondly, I have to support both versions of Visio for my addin. I have both versions installed on my development box. When switching between the two versions, a configuration process is run. This process only runs when running the opposite verison of Visio from the last version that was run. I have noticed that when I run Visio 2002, and the config process is run, it messes up the Visio 2003 PIA in the GAC. When I go to compile my addin, I have to run RegAsm on the Visio 2003 PIA to get the reference to validate.
Any comments on my issues would be greatly appreciated. Please feel free to repost my comments if you like.
Using the PIA redist without Microsoft Office System 2003 is just not a good idea, which is why we went to some lengths to prevent it. The redist is meant to be a runtime solution for redistributing the PIA's to your clients using the Microsoft Office System 2003.
For example, if you have a PIA registered for a type libary but you don't have the type library on the system, OLEAUT can get into a bad state. In the PIA case, let's say you have Microsoft Excel 2002 (version 10) installed and registered on your system. Your type library is version 1.4. Let's say the PIA for Office 2003 gets registered and you didn't update Office. This means you have a PIA for version 1.5, but a type library for 1.4. While the PIA can be happy (sort-of) OLEAUT isn't. If you reference the type library from anywhere other than Excel's VBA project (which has some resiliency to this versioning issue), referencing the type library will OLEAUT. OLEAUT will walk the registry and see versions 1.4 and 1.5. It doesn't know that 1.5 doesn't really have a type library. So it tries to get the type library for 1.5. This then results in a failure because the 1.5 type library isn't present or registered. (The 1.5 type library BTW lives as a Win32 resource in Excel.exe.) OLEAUT then does NOT unwind to use an older version (like 1.4, which IS present.) It just fails.
To sum up that long explanation: registering a newer PIA than you have a type library for will work, but OLE will fail, and LOTS of things use type libraries. (I'm not sure here, but embedded objects of Excel may stop working there, or in your case, Microsoft Visio.)
I am personally unfamiliar with Visio's "side-by-side" running nature, but is sounds like they re-register their type library using standard system calls to make sure that the right version is registered (likely for the same reasons as stated above.) Perpaps you can respond with who's doing configuration? Is there some custom code running?
Anyway, what's probably happening is that the type library is getting re-registered. When that happens, the call that registers the type library first wipes out all child keys and values from the root of [HKCR]\typelib\[TYPELIB_GUID]\[version]\. This means the PIA registration goes away! We've been working with other teams to try to remedy these problems at least at installation time, but something like changing regtlib.exe would be difficult to do, since it's worked this way for over a decade.
While I know this doesn't really solve the problems, I hope it provides you some insight as to why they exist. If there's some custom config code you have for switching the Visio versions... we can work with that. Let me know if it's not custom code that's switching Visio versions.

John Goodman: Judge could decide Friday on new-trial request
Wellington millionaire convicted of DUI manslaughter last year
A judge could decide Friday whether Wellington millionaire John Goodman will get a new trial after he was convicted of DUI manslaughter.
The polo mogul was convicted last year in the 2010 death of 23-year-old Scott Wilson.
ALSO: Images From The Goodman Case
Judge Jeffrey Colbath, as well as attorneys, on Monday interviewed a juror from the case whom the defense accused of misconduct.
Dennis DeMartin did not disclose during jury selection that his ex-wife was once arrested for DUI, and Goodman's attorneys claim the DUI could have impacted DeMartin's ability to serve impartially on the jury.
DeMartin said he didn't intentionally withhold the information; he just said he has a bad memory due to two strokes.
Goodman is serving his 16-year sentence on house arrest as he waits for this appeals process to play out.
