Vestal, NY (WBNG Binghamton) After spending years in the CAA, a new experience awaits the Binghamton University wrestling team this weekend. The Bearcats will compete in their first EIWA conference tournament starting on Saturday at the University of Pennsylvania.
In dual matches, the Bearcats had a tough season finishing at 5-and-13. However, BU does have a handful of wrestlers looking to make a run towards an NCAA tournament berth.
That includes senior Cody Reed, who is looking to make it back to his third NCAA's. Coach Matt Dernlan believes if things go right, BU could have a number of weight classes represented in Oklahoma City this year.
"This isn't halloween. You're not going to knock on a door, and somebody isn't going to give you a piece of candy, you've got to go take something," said Dernlan. "So if our guys are in a taking mentality and are ready to go out and earn what they want. I think at '25, I think at '41, '74, '84, '97, heavyweight, they're all in position to make something special happen."
All those weight classes Dernlan believes BU has a chance to possibly make a run towards the NCAA's.
The good news, the EIWA does provide more chances for automatic bids to the NCAA tournament. In most weight classes, the top four or five wrestlers qualify with the top seven wrestlers qualifying at 197 pounds.

i hate that i am so held hostage by my insecurities. they say that transitioning is like a second adolescence, and it's true. add my issues with abandonment, and well, all i am is weak.
it's a funny thing, i've transitioned to the point that i pass really well, even with my 6'1" frame. i've been ignoring it for some time, but guys are constantly rubbernecking to look at me. when crush girl and i were hanging out, she was constantly pointing it out. but she's not alone, anytime i meet a girl and we start hanging out, she points it out. "did you see that guy checking you out?" nope. really, i had no idea. the first couple of weeks she was incredulous. how can you not notice?!
i can't, don't notice, because i'm more interested in women, firstly, second because for me, the first few years of transitioning are so terribly awkward. you have to get over what has been your greatest fear for most of your life: going out 'in girl mode.' and it's terrifying. especially if you don't have a car. getting on a bus is still a dodgy proposition for me because of the grief some highschool kids gave me early on. white kids just look and whisper. black kids? they call you out. loudly. they want you to hear them talking shit about you. it's worse if you're black too. they take your transitioning personally, as if it reflected badly on them. i used to think it was just the boys, too. but there is a flip that takes place. once you get a bit better at it, the guys quiet down, and the girls call you out. the funniest thing is they all say the same thing too, as if their union prohibited them from ad libing. "that's a man!" every time. if they are really bugged by you, they repeat it, making sure everyone hears.
but they are only the loudest. having to look at people's faces when you come into view can be extremely painful. how can you forget the looks of revulsion? to see people wince, try not to stare, or to look away... it's the same thing they do to the disfigured or handicapped. in a sense, transitioning is a form of social disfigurement or handicap. last year one of my oldest friends fell off the roof of his apartment, and is a quadriplegic. before the accident, we would talk maybe once a year, now, we talk weekly or every other week. it's the freak club.
i was walking crushgirl to her bus stop after a movie, last week, and a guy started hitting on me. she laughed, "you ought to just tell him you've got a dick." "sure, if i want to get beat up." she explained that she was joking, but she's made that joke before, and it's never funny. it's painful. honestly, the thing i hate most about that comment is that it reminds me of something else you try not to look at directly when you are a transexual: the brutal truth. if people know you are transexual, for 90% of the people you know, you are a freak. you are not a woman, you are not a man, you're other. no matter how much you might think otherwise. is it any wonder the thing most trans people want most is to pass? out of one closet, and we'd just die to go back into another.
can you guess what comes in a close second? love. in this fucking lonely life we just want someone to understand, and love us... [le sigh] and it's made all the worse because of family and friends abandonment along the way. my life has been a revolving door, and i can't help but being clingy and insecure....
letter to a boy who likes transexuals
this is a reply that i sent to someone who, i'll admit i have a crush on. he's a former graff writer, and sk8r, which, is enough to make me commence to drooling. he wrote me talking about how frustrated he was about his attraction to t-girls.
i can understand how your sexuality can be frustrating. but these things, they get worse when you try to go against the grain. the thing to do is to work at accepting yourself, and you desires. right now they are in the fetish stage for you. you crave t girls, but you beat yourself up for it. what you need to do is understand that that attraction is-- or atleast could be-- your normal, and that is a good thing. nature is a complex thing, but as westerners our urge is to put everything in a box, or reduce it to binary, either/or, black and white choices. what we forget, often times is not only are their greys, but millions and billions of hues-- variations on the themes. this world we live in is not simple, it is soooo wonderfully complex. that is not a bad thing, that-- that is a virtue. that is darwin's theory. it wasn't just survival of the fittest, it was variation as survival mechanism. variation of nature's beautiful work, the clockwork that makes this planet and all the creatures on it so fucking amazing!
yet so often, we are myopic, unable to see anything that isn't right in front of us. unable to grasp that bigger picture, that we are all part of this grand, living organism, in all it's different shades. that goes for me altering my body, and following it's lead, and growing in to me and you being attracted to people like me, and growing in that. there is no shame in that. only more beauty. we are only part of this lovely work, you and i, part of the wonders this life has to offer. so there is no point in griping, or beating ourselves up in the garden of earthly delights. no, it is so much better to learn to embrace it, and who we are.
as for me, and being comfortable with my sexuality, that, my friend is a learning process. you have to learn whose opinion matters, and whose doesn't. if it impedes you being happy, that opinion doesn't matter. i'm not saying it's easy, but you have to judge what is important to you. for me learning to be me, and growing comfortable with that is over riding, but one thing that you learn is that if you are comfortable with something it puts other people at ease. if you act like something is normal, others see it as normal. it is the putting of others at ease that is the art of it. i can't say i've got that art down pat, but i'm getting there. it's a learning process.
i think i understand why you are having a hard time with your sexuality tho. masculinity is a very funny thing. it's rules are enforced by peer pressure in many subtle, unconscious ways. your machismo is constantly challenged, what you need to understand is the ways that you are a party to this enforcement in others and yourself.
sorry if i get a little too gender theory heavy here, but i think i get where you are coming from. one of the things that helped me was "making space" for others to break masculine gender rules. so if some guy likes, say, pink, you can tease him about it, but at the end of the conversation, make sure he knows in your eyes it doesn't make him any less of a man, or your friend. in that way you slowly make space for others to do the same for you, and your attraction to t-girls. do you see? you put them at ease, and it lets you be at ease.
while i am here, i should explain something to you: i know that you might think that your attraction to tgirls might make you gay, but personally that never made sense to me. gay boys are not interested in t-girls. they like men. even if they like 'em femme, they don't care for all the "bells and whistles" that come with tgirls or women. you are part of an emerging sexuality-- one that is attracted to the female form but with the commonality of a penis. that is something new. you are a pioneer! unfortunately, that means you may have to explain things to your friends, and maybe lose some of them, and it's a cliche, but they really aren't your friends, because they don't make that space i was talking about earlier, for you to be you. seriously, what is friendship if it's not about making space for each other to be who we truly are?
anyways, i'm gonna climb off of my soap box. because i've given you plenty to chew on.
wow. i thought the ad was stupid and wonky in the regular lounge, but in the blogs it's just obnoxious.
today was a good day.
i got to come back to the welding shop, which was nice, it's not looking like i'm going to be back past friday, but i might be suprized. who knows. but what made the day was walking towards one of the loading doc, and a delivery woman, smiled -- beamed, really-- upon seeing me, and said, "it's a girl! i never see a girl working here in the shop!"
it made my day. as silly as it sounds, it's still shocking to me when i pass. see i started my transition i had a punk rock fuck you kinda attitude. i never thought i'd pass. i didn't really try. i rarely, and still rarely dress up, wear dresses or skirts. sure i love make up, but i never wear foundation. and my skin has hyper pigmentation in the goatee areas. while my face is feminine, i always assume everybody knows, and is just being polite. so for this lady it wasn't a matter of being polite. she didn't know me from er... adam?
and it's not that i'm all gussied up. i'm in a wood and metal shop, fer chrissakes, fabricating museum displays.
here is my usual outfit, which i was wearing today:
workboots or sneakers
shapeless, almost oompa loompa-esque oversized overalls,
a thick, oversized hoodie underneath,
head scarf
ski cap
so it wasn't that i was wearing a skirt and heels. it wasn't that my hair or wig was all fancified. it wasn't. i was half covered in millscale dust. my skin probably looked slightly greyed.
it's a girl!
why yes, it is!
but now i'm thinking, since i will be back on the unemployment roles on monday, that perhaps i ought to go back to dispatching, since i found an ad for a good paying position doing hvac work.
which might be the right ticket. since the grinding i spent all day doing hurt my elbow and the wrist that i shattered a few years ago.
as much as i like all the learning i'm doing, and the physical work, i think it might be time to jump ship. which sucks. it's been just over a year since i went to welding school.
but i do like the idea of getting the hang of business casual, and learning that girly girl thing. as well as finishing all of that transition stuff.
fingers officaly crossed.
so i'm looking at pictures of raquel welch for my latest series of paintings on "contructed women" so naturally myra breckinridge is on the list. i've always had the hots for her, and well who wouldn't? but looking at these picures, another thought seems to surface:
i wanna live in a city with big hair. big, huge, ginormous, planet sized hair. there's always been a part of me who wishes i'd been born in the time of monster wigs, you know, the early to mid 60's. my favorite singers, style wise are bobby gentry and dusty springfield. perhaps it's that practically stillborn drag queen who lived in those few brief months i was on the circuit, the remains of dq-itis. instead i'm trapped. suffocating in a city where anymore eye make up than mascara is a sin, and you're likely to be pushed in front of a bus for donning more than lip gloss. *sigh* and what am i to do about my eyebrow fetish? daddy (mr.t to you) teases me about my latest eyebrow scheme-- i've shaved my eyebrows at their apex, out, so from the insides of my eyes to my pupils are still there, but the rest i draw on, so on days when i am feeling exotic i draw them on like the bride of frankenstein (what she calls my 'tuvok' eyebrows, geekily referring to the vulcan on some star track show), on days when i feel dramatic i square the apex off, and when i am feeling more subtle, i'll draw them rounded off. it really was just taking my eyebrow fixation to the logical conclusion. i used to change their shape every 2 or 3 weeks, and well that is simply not enough! now it is every 1-2 days! viva le brows!
*shaking my head*
god have mercy on my ever lovin' loopy brainsis...
do i have the best...
wait. it's like gaydar but for trannys...
anyways, i heard a radio program about 'microspotting' a blog about microsoft employees, and their non-work life, and the woman who does it was talking about a goth co-worker. i was hoping that she was EGL (elegant gothic lolita-- a japanese goth subculture), and i immediately find a tgirl.
i don't even have to try...
she sounds pretty cool...

A group of citizens hoping to bring a year-round market to Forest Grove may request a spot at the vacant Times Litho site.
Beth Rankin, a consultant hired by the group, said Tuesday that while city officials have not said for certain it would house the market, the group has kept the option open.
Forest Grove City Manager Michael Sykes said he first heard of the idea from the group at last Wednesday's Farmers Market. He told them to file a formal request with the city to occupy space in the Times Litho.
No request has been submitted to the city as of Wednesday. Rankin said the market committee is in the process of drafting the letter to Sykes.
The group has been working with representatives from Adelante Mujeres, the nonprofit that runs the Forest Grove Farmers Market, the Dairy Creek Community Food Web, citizens and local producers since January to push for the market's opening next spring.
The market, which will provide locally-sourced artisan foods, will have one paid employee, the manager, and run primarily on volunteers.
The group has been searching for possible locations around the Town Center since January. The market would function as a storefront with storage and office space and accessible parking.
But the group still needs to devise a business plan that assesses the market's needs and expenses, said Economic Development Director Jeff King.
King, who recently met with representatives from the group, added it could potentially use the space at the Times Litho site for a short time, as the city works with developers on long-term plans for the site.
The group must identify its suppliers, how funding those suppliers will work, and how the market will operate. That detailed work will determine the market's long-term success, he said.
The group has yet to develop one, but plan to do so, Rankin said.
King said he thought the growth of Adelante Mujeres' weekly Farmers Market and the city's embrace of locally-produced foods showed some need for a market, but could not say how large that need is. The market could start small.
"It's kind of a chicken and the egg thing," King said. "As you market it more and more people aware of the market, hopefully it grow. But you have to have enough product that will attract people as well."
Sykes said he would discuss the option with city councilors and staff before the city moved forward with a decision.

Telluride Roundup: 'A Royal Affair,' 'Iceman,' 'Hyde Park on Hudson'
It will painful for the organizers to hear this, but it was hard to find anyone who thought this was a strong year for the Telluride Film Festival. The 39th edition featured tributes to Marion Cotillard and Mads Mikkelsen, but only one or two films that had the attendees raving. Longtime festival goers didn't seem to mind that much, however, as they see the annual Labor Day event as a time to catch up with old cinephile friends from around the country.
Telluride doesn't like to think of itself as an industry festival, but it clearly is. As HitFix and In Contention readers have been reminded numerous times, Telluride is a toe dipping event for potential Oscar players and this year's big winner is "Argo." To say that Warner Bros. has something on their hands with "Argo" is an massive understatement. Ben Affleck's third directorial effort was universal praised and it was usually the first movie anyone mentioned when quizzed about what they liked. The reaction was so strong from industry veterans at the festival that "Argo" has already taken the frontrunner mantle before its "official" Toronto International Film Festival world premiere. Score one for Warner Bros.
This pundit has already weighed in on "Francis Ha" and "Ginger and Rosa," but here's a rundown of reactions from other pictures that screened at Telluride over the weekend.
"At Any Price"
Grade: C+
Award Season Prospects: Dennis Quaid has an outside chance at a best actor nomination if Sony Classics qualifies "Price" with a one-week run in December (the studio says it plans to release "Price" in 2013).
Lowdown: Ramin Bahrani's drama has some nice moments, but falters under Quaid's somewhat hammy performance and a third act turn that feels both unnecessary and forced. Zac Efron is fine as Quaid's rebellious son although it may yes somewhat telling that his most memorable moment is a sex scene with Heather Graham. The real standout, is relative newcomer Maika Monroe who delivers a performance that feels more authentic to the picture's Midwest setting than any of her more established peers.
"A Royal Affair"
Grade: B+
Award Season Prospects: If it becomes Denmark's submission in the foreign language race it could have an excellent shot at making the final five. The picture's costumes, production design and cinematography could also score nominations if U.S. distributor Magnolia Pictures campaigns it (a big if).
Lowdown: Based on the true story of a scandalous affair between the Queen of Denmark and the King's personal doctor in the 17th century, Nikolaj Arcel's drama is an entertaining addition to the historical romance genre. Perhaps a good 15 minutes too long (the one universal complaint from Telluride) its driven by superb turns from Mad Mikkelsen, Alicia Vikander and Mikkel Boe Folsgaard as King Christian VII (who in a perfect world would have a legitimate shot for a best supporting actor nod).
"The Iceman"
Grade: B+
Award Season Prospects: Michael Shannon is absolutely superb as notorious hitman Richard Kuklinski. The question is whether the film's violence and genre flavor will quash any chance for Shannon to land a best actor nomination. However, if the film is released this year he could certainly land an Independent Spirit nod. Ray Liotta is also fantastic in familiar mob thriller territory, but best supporting actor recognition is gonna be hard to come by.
Lowdown: Another true life tale, Shannon shoots, kicks, kills and carries this film on his back from beginning to end. Aided by nice turns by Chris Evans, Liotta, Robert Davi and David Schwimmer's pornstache and Winona "don't call it a proper comeback" Ryder, "Iceman" is more entertaining than you'd expect it to be. There was debate in Telluride over how commercial the picture is (it could easily be a sleeper hit in my opinion), but producer Avi Lerner of Millennium Films will likely hold out for an acquisition price from a major distributor that he'll never get. Millennium has had better luck releasing on their own (see "Bernie") so there's hope "Iceman" could get the theatrical release it deserves.
Grade: B-
Award Season Prospects: A clear player as Austria's submission for foreign language film and stars Emmanuelle Riva and Jean-Louis Trintignant both have a shot for acting nominations.
Lowdown: Many critics and cinephiles adore Michael Haneke's touching Palm D'Or winner, but I'm not one of them. It features superb performances by Trintignant and Riva, no doubt. What may disappoint some, however, is the lack of intimacy Haneke allows the viewer to experience with his subjects. It isn't a requirement to have an emotional reaction at the end of a film, but just as many Telluride attendees didn't react to "Amour" as those who did. Is it a foreign language player? Yes. Will certain critics make it a staple of year-end top 10 lists? Yes. Is it a general best picture player? Not in my opinion, but it's early.
"Hyde Park on Hudson"
Grade: C
Award Season Prospects: In theory, a best picture player, Laura Linney for best actress and Bill Murray for best actor.
Lowdown: The biggest disappointment at Telluride, "Hudson" just feels like a misfire all around. The film is really about FDR's romantic relationship with his cousin, Margaret Stuckley (Linney), and that would be fine if their pairing wasn't a complete bore. Murray is, um, good (?) as FDR, but it feels like something is missing from his performance. Overall, the film is devoid of energy and the storyline's central event - the visit of King George and Queen Consort Elizabeth - feels incredibly drawn out (something you have to blame director Roger Michell for). Focus may be able to swing some art house coin on this one based on Murray and Linney toplining, but awards season kudos will be tough to come by.
"Rust & Bone"
Grade: B+
Award Season Prospects: The picture should be France's foreign language submission (assuming they don't go with "The Intouchables"), but Marion Cotillard is a slam dunk in the best actress category.
Lowdown: Jacques Audiard's original drama suffers from some awkward plot devices (Cotillard is a killer whale handler in an aquatic park, Matthias Schoenaerts is a future MMA fighter) and the storyline gets a tad too melodramatic in the third act, but "Rust & Bone" could be a very nice art house hit for Sony Classics. The film's tone and storyline feels more American and therefore more relatable to U.S. audiences than a typical French film (a criticism by some French at Cannes). Whether that's enough to fuel a surprise nomination for the superb Schoenaerts ("Bullhead") remains to be seen.
"The Gatekeepers"
Grade: B+
Awards Season Prospects: An easy nominee in the best documentary category if Sony Classics decides to qualify it for this year.
Lowdown: Dror Moreh's doc chronicles the history of Israel's Shin Bet and that country's decades old conflict with the Palestinian people and now Palestinian state. Remarkably, Moreh gets four former heads of the Shin Bet to speak on camera about their experiences and the quartet are shockingly blunt about where they see the conflict going. It's a fantastic historical record of the Shin Bet, but if MOreh thinks it might have an effect on the situation today his own subjects make that a hard proposition to swallow.
Next up, Toronto. What will the reaction to "The Master" be on this side of the Atlantic? Will "To The Wonder" find more love north of the border? Can "Cloud Atlas" win over the critics? Can "Silver Lining Playbook" and "The Impossible" make significant moves in the best picture race? Does CBS Films have a screenplay player in "Seven Psychopaths"? Will Kristen Stewart actually show up for the "On The Road" special screening? (Sorry, had to go there.) Find out every day as HitFix's Drew McWeeny and myself hustle across downtown Toronto beginning tomorrow.

As the process of setting up isn't as easy as it could be, this page will attempt to describe it.
This page is not yet complete.
If you don't have an InspIRCd server readily available to link to, this is the best way to get started. However, note that this is the least secure way of running this. Keep in mind that there is currently no security against bots or any kinds of attacks, and we highly recommend building your own InspIRCd soon after trying this out.
The initial setup is very easy. Simply place the jar in your plugins folder, and launch your server (or, if you have a plugin manager, load the jar).
This will not only create the default files for you, but also launch the new IRC server and automatically link to the game chat. To test it out, just open an IRC client and connect to your server's ip (make sure the port 6667 is forwarded). When you connect, you'll automatically be sent to the #minecraft channel, and inside it should be at least one client other than you, named Minecraft. This is the default bot that does a number of things;
- Controls the newly created server
- Is able to relay the list of players with !players
- Automatically sets user modes for players who connect (say you give "builders" automatic voice)
- Forward any messages from Dynmap to IRC
To give yourself server operator status on the IRC server, you have to edit the config. You'll find oper-username and oper-password. These two you'll want to modify (username here is not the same as your ingame OR IRC name, more of a special "admin" account that is IRC-specific). Then, after reloading/restarting the server, just /oper TheUsername ThePassword.
You can also find the bot in the #minecraft-staff channel, where it can (additionally) do the following;
- Display some messages from console (like announcements and broadcasts)
- Allow channel operators to easily run console commands
Already own an InspIRCd powered IRC server? Here's how to link it to your ingame chat. This is the recommended method as you can run your own services and set up your own security for your IRC server.
To set this up, edit your config.yml to use 'inspircd' mode instead of 'standalone.' You will then need to set up a link to the Minecraft Server, using the links.conf in InspIRCd. Once that's done, edit the config.yml and add the IP and passwords, then you should be good to go!

Several times a year we offer classes outside the Bible Study hour. These delve into such things as deeper Bible Study, social issues, practical guidelines, history, topical studies, and others. Typically these classes begin at 6:00 PM on Wednesday nights in the fall and spring.
To get an idea of what has been offered in FIRST EQUIP classes, check out past classes below:
"Experiencing God"A recurring class since 2012Revised and expanded, this outstanding study guides learners to experience the kind of relationship with God through which they come to know and do His will. This very popular study has been instrumental in changing the spiritual lives of millions.
"The Life and Ministry of the Messiah"August 2012
This study will help participants experience the land of Jesus in stunning visual imagery (via DVD), which illuminates Jesus' teachings and helps participants understand the context in which he lived and preached. This interactive study connects history and culture to religion and geography and relates biblical truth to modern society.
"Read the Bible for Life: Listen, Understand, Respond"February, 2012 This 8-session study taught participants how to read the various types of bibilical literature in a way that helped them unlock God's intended meaning enabling them to accurately interpret the Bible and appropriately apply its teachings to life. Some homework was required. Workbook cost was $12.00
"Mentoring: How Along-The-Way Discipleship Will Change Your Life"February, 2012 This study helped participants understand mentoring as a God-given relationship where one growing believer encourages and equips another to reach his or her potential as a disciple. This study was a practical and spiritual guide to biblical mentoring, providing easy-to-model life application for how to be a mentor. The workbook cost was $10.00.
"Digging Deeper: Methods for Personal Bible Study"September 2010Do you want to study the Bible on your own, but you aren't sure how? Or are you stuck in a rut and want to learn some fresh ways to dig into Scripture? This study is for you. We will seek to grow in our ability to love, understand, and apply God's Word by learning eight different methods of personal Bible study. We will also be introduced to several helpful resources and tools that aid in Bible study. "Experiencing God"September 2010Over the years God has used the truths of this study to awaken believers to a radically God-centered way of life. As a result, millions have come to know God intimately, to recognize His voice, and to understand His will for their lives. God is inviting you to experience Him in an intimate love relationship through which He reveals to you His will, His ways, and His work. Through the biblical principles in this course, God can teach you how to (1) know when He is speaking to you; (2) recognize His activity around you; (3) adjust your life to Him and His ways; (4) identify what He wants to do through you; and (5) respond to His activity in your life. "Five Things God Uses to Grow Your Faith"September 2010What adjective best characterizes your faith? Dynamic…genuine…flourishing…elusive… stalled…or ineffective? Imagine how different your outlook on life would be if you had absolute confidence that God was with you. Imagine how differently you would respond to difficulties, temptations, and even good things if you knew with certainty that God was in all of it and was planning to leverage it for good. In other words, imagine what it would be like to have PERFECT faith. In this DVD-driven study, well-known speaker and author, Andy Stanley, builds a biblical case for five things God uses to grow BIG faith.
Christianity, Cults, and ReligionsOctober 2011 This 6-session DVD-based curriculum will explain in a clear and simple way the history, background, and beliefs of the most common world religions and cultic groups: Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses and other groups. Participants will gain a solid Scriptural foundation for their own faith so that they can answer the questions of other groups - who is Jesus? What do we believe about God? What happens after death? How do the other religions view salvation?
Discovering the BibleOctober 2011
This 4-session DVD-based curriculum will provide a basic introduction to the Bible: what it is, where it came from, how it came down to us, and how to use it. This is an excellent study for those who have little or no background in the Bible, and a stimulating refresher for those who have loved the Bible for years. There is no cost to participate in this study.

Director of 'Chronicle' reported to be in negotiations to make 'Venom' movie
I have never understood this idea.
New Line was the first studio to option the rights to "Venom," and it's always confused me deeply to imagine a film in which you only have the Venom character without Spider-Man. Sony had to eventually buy the rights to the character so they could incorporate him into their "Spider-Man" series, and I would argue that their intense desire to force the fan-favorite character into the third film despite Sam Raimi's misgivings is one of the reasons that film does not work.
Raimi had no real desire to do anything with Venom, and I understand why. Venom is the sort of character that serves as a dividing line for comic book fans. I find that it's basically all about how old you were when they started publishing Venom stories. I was getting out of comic collecting right around the time the age of Todd McFarlane began, and I didn't really care for where the comic industry was heading at that time. I don't feel superior to fans who grew up with Venom as a cornerstone of what they loved about Spider-Man, though. I just don't agree with them.
But even as a non-fan, I recognize that Venom has to have Spider-Man to make sense. He is, after all, quite literally made of the same stuff as Spider-Man, part of him, and casting him in a movie by himself is like making a movie just called "The Joker."
Wait… that might be awesome. Forget that comparison.
Josh Trank made an impressive debut with "Chronicle," so it doesn't surprise me that he's on a lot of wish lists suddenly. It saddens me a bit that right away, Hollywood's working to put him in that "comic book movie" box, though. I think the reason "Chronicle" was good wasn't because Trank is clever about how he shoots effects, although he is. It was good because there was something authentically felt about the teenage characters, something real in their behavior, and because he and Max Landis seemed to genuinely care about the young characters they created. I hope that if Trank does make this film, he makes it because it's something he's passionate about, and not just because they offer him the right deal. He's got real potential as a director, and honestly, "Venom" sounds like it would be very similar to "Chronicle," a look at a character twisted by power and hard to stop. I'd like to see him expand his range, not get boxed in with his second film.
Right now, this all sounds like a development deal in search of a greenlight, so it's still early. But I think even attaching his name to the project speaks volumes about the way Hollywood swallows and digests new talent.
My real question now is will this somehow be tied to "The Amazing Spider-Man" and its new continuity, or will it be something unrelated? Guess we'll have to wait and see.

FOREST GROVE — Michael Garcia scored 40 points and the Forest Grove Vikings survived a furious fourth-quarter upset bid to beat the Newberg Tigers 89-82 in Forest Grove.
Newberg (0-16 overall, 0-6 Pacific Conference) entered the fourth quarter with a 57-55 lead and played desperately searching for its season's first win. The two team's exchanged the lead eight times in the quarter before Garcia hit a three to give the Vikings a 84-82 lead with 40 seconds to play. On the ensuing possession, Forest Grove freshman Taylor Jensen stole the ball from Jacob Sundquist and got it up to Garcia, who was fouled. Garcia would hit 1 of 2 foul shots and then 2 of 2 on the Vikings' next possession to give the Vikings a 87-82 lead. Zac Collins would drain two foul shots in the last second to close out the scoring for Forest Grove.
Garcia finished with 18 points in the fourth quarter, with nine of those coming in the final 1:30. Jensen finished with 16 for the Vikings. Bryce Schneider led the Tigers with 23 points, while Cedar Albright added 18.
Forest Grove (10-6, 3-3) ends the first half of Pacific Conference play Friday at Tigard. The Tigers travel to McMinnville.

Steelers News
The news for Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger is not good, and not from a football stance but from a life perspective. News today that Ben has a dislocated rib that is close to his Aorta is bigger than football. This is a life threatening situation that could have been devastating on the field. Listen we are all rabid fans and Steeler Nation is the most die hard fans out there. This is much bigger than winning a few games and making the playoffs or even winning the Super Bowl. Ben does not need to rush back from this even if it means no more wins on the field.
That being said the Steelers are too proud of a team to accept defeat and I fully expect the defense to step up in Ben's absence. They have played well lately but have still lacked the ability to pressure the QB and force turnovers on a consistent basis.
The offensive line will also need to step up and become a great run blocking unit. They have showed flashes that they are capable of doing this throughout the season. The issue here, just like on the defensive side, is consistency.
The Steelers schedule is such that the could make the playoffs without Ben. They would need to go 4-3 to finish 10-6. They would likely be a wildcard with that record. If Ben and Troy Polamalu get healthy in time for the playoffs look out. I can guarantee that no team in the NFL wants to see a healthy Steelers team in the playoffs.

There are a lot of ways a man can be a father to a child. It doesn't require that they be related, either.
Hardiman wrote:
Even so, I am fascinated by father-son relationships. I've given the third degree to virtually every friend I have who enjoyed a rich, lasting relationship with his or her father. If nothing else, I wanted to remind myself of what I missed when my own father took off for parts unknown.
But even if it's true that it takes a man to teach a boy, etc., etc., it's worth noting that no one said which man had to be there doing the teaching.
I was listening a short time ago to someone talk about his own father and his own upbringing.
It was interesting to hear him recount it. It was half a week before Father's Day, and yet this wasn't a Father's Day tribute. To the contrary, it was an everyday conversation. It was about the everyday power that fathers can exercise -- how they can shape not only their children's lives but also the world they live in.
Paul Allen Billings was talking about himself as a child -- an impressionable child. He was talking about the way his father had taught him to be a man.
"I had a step-father," he said, "who embraced me as his own. I learned about how a father is supposed to act -- how you're supposed to support your child emotionally, materially, spiritually."

After a brief spell of slightly drier air last night and today, very warm days with moderate humidity will continue this weekend Get the beach gear ready! Like most warm, humid days, each afternoon has the potential to produce a shower or thunderstorm.
Our chances for showers increase Sunday and Monday as a cold front nears from New York state. This will be the focus for some wet weather, but the timing for this front is for Monday night into Tuesday. That will likely be the wettest time for the next several days. After that, we'll dry out as Canadian high pressure brings in a comfy air mass for the middle of next week.
Today: Mainly sunny and less humid. High 84.
Saturday: Mainly sunny. Rising humidity. High 84.
Sunday: Hazy and humid. An isolated p.m. t'storm. High 82.
Monday: Limited sunshine. Showers and thunderstorms. High 78.

Weekday closures on the Middle Fork Snoqualmie River Road
A federal road reconstruction project on the Middle Fork Snoqualmie River Road began May 5, which will result in weekday closures of the road, from Valley Camp on. The road will be closed from noon Mondays through noon Fridays, now through Friday, Oct. 31. Dorothy Lake Road (Upper Couplet) will be closed to public traffic throughout the project.
Survey and staking is scheduled to continue next week. In addition, the contractor will install orange construction fence to delineate sensitive areas, and install erosion control devices. Clearing and earthwork will continue near the timber bridge and the 588+50 bridge (west of Taylor River bridge). Test piles will be driven at both bridges.
A calendar showing the planned closures for 2014 may be found on the project website at www.wfl.fhwa.dot.gov/projects/wa/snoqualmie/.

Content Manager OnDemand Web Enable Kit (ODWEK) enables you to use an industry-standard Web browser to access data stored in an OnDemand system. Users may search through the archived folders and applications and select documents or sections of reports for browser viewing.
Installing and configuring the WebSphere® Application Server and the IBM HTTP Server to run with ODWEK can be an arduous task, taking hours of reading and testing. The purpose of this article is to provide you with a step-by-step procedure that will reduce the amount of time invested by enabling you to set up both the WebSphere Application Server and the IBM HTTP Server without detailed knowledge of either.
Task Overview
ODWEK is delivered in two forms: a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) version and a JavaTM Servlet version. Both versions of the ODWEK product are placed on the system at install time, and you can configure and run either or both of these depending on personal preference. The CGI version requires the OnDemand Server and the IBM HTTP (Version 5.3 or higher) server to be installed and configured properly. The Java servlet version of ODWEK requires additionally that IBM WebSphere Application Server (Version 3.5 or higher) to be installed and configured properly. Since the CGI version of ODWEK is a subset of the Java servlet version, it is the quickest and easiest to configure and run.
ODWEK is installed on the Hierarchical File System (HFS) in /usr/lpp/ars/www. ODWEK is pre-configured to run the Java Servlet Version of ODWEK with only a small change to the arswww.ini file, located in the /usr/lpp/ars/www/cgi-bin directory. With this slight modification, the correct configuration for the WebSphere Application Server and the correctly configured IBM HTTP Server, the ODWEK system will be up and running in a nominal amount of time.
Configuring the HTTP Server for ODWEK CGI
Edit the httpd.conf file located in the IBM HTTP Server root directory. In the example system the httpd.conf file (Listing 1) is located in the /p3odwek directory.
In the "Basic directives" section httpd.conf, specify the following parameters:
- A Hostname parameter, which is the domain name of the system in which you plan to run the IBM HTTP Server. In our example, we used the domain name of testcase.ibm.com.
- A UserId parameter, which is the ID of the user who was associated with the IBM HTTP Server when it was installed. In our example, the UserId parameter is p3odwek1.
- A TCP/IP port on which the IBM HTTP Server will communicate. Our example uses 2480.
Adding basic directives to the httpd.conf file
# Basic directives # ===================================================================== # Hostname testcase.ibm.com UserId p3odwek1 .... Port 2480
The "Mapping Rules" section of the httpd.conf file is also crucial to the operation of the CGI version of ODWEK because it maps the ODWEK functions for the CGI interface to the HTTP Server. Listing 2 shows that there are Pass, Map and Exec statements, each of which is very important and must be in the proper order for the system to function properly. Here is the general description of the mapping statements and the function they provide:
- The Pass rule enables the server to accept the request. The replacement file path is optional with the Pass action. If a replacement file path is used, the server uses it to change the URL before accepting the request. The server does not compare the URL to any subsequent rules. Pass is the default setting. In Listing 2, we have the "Pass" statement, followed by the request path and then the replacement file path.
- The Map rule enables the server to change the URL according to the replacement file path. The server then compares the new URL to the URL Request Template on subsequent rules.
- The Exec rule enables the server to accept the request and run a CGI script program identified by the replacement file path. The server does not compare the URL to any subsequent rules. Selecting Exec enables CGI programs to run. Selecting Exec can enable all the CGI programs in a library, or it can enable only specific programs within various libraries.
Within the "Mapping rules" section of the httpd.conf file, add the statements that are shown in Listing 2.
Listing 2. Adding mapping rules to httpd.conf
 # ===================================================================== # # # Mapping rules # # ===================================================================== # # *** ADD NEW PASS RULES HERE *** Pass /applets/* /usr/lpp/ars/www/applets/* testcase.ibm.com Pass /applets/com/ibm/edms/od/* /usr/lpp/ars/www/applets/* testcase.ibm.com Pass /images/* /usr/lpp/ars/www/images/* testcase.ibm.com Map /images/grytxtr4.jpg /usr/lpp/ars/www/images/grytxtr4.jpg testcase.ibm.com Map /images/odcolin2.gif /usr/lpp/ars/www/images/odcolin2.gif testcase.ibm.com Pass /logon /usr/lpp/ars/www/samples/logon.htm testcase.ibm.com Pass /test /usr/lpp/ars/www/samples/test.htm testcase.ibm.com Exec /arswww.cgi /usr/lpp/ars/www/cgi-bin/arswww.cgi testcase.ibm.com Exec /arswww.cgi/*.pdf /usr/lpp/ars/www/cgi-bin/arswww.cgi testcase.ibm.com Exec /arswww.cgi/*.jpg /usr/lpp/ars/www/cgi-bin/arswww.cgi testcase.ibm.com Exec /arswww.cgi/*.afp /usr/lpp/ars/www/cgi-bin/arswww.cgi testcase.ibm.com Exec /samples/* /usr/lpp/ars/www/cgi-bin/arswww.cgi testcase.ibm.com Exec /arswww.cgi /usr/lpp/ars/www/cgi-bin/arswww.cgi testcase.ibm.com Pass /* /usr/lpp/ars/www/* testcase.ibm.com
Another significant area, located at the end of the httpd.conf file, is the "Code page directive" section (Listing 3). By default the IBM HTTP server code page is IBM-1047, an EBCDIC code page, and the default browser code page is ISO8859-1, which is ASCII Latin 1. If you live in a country that uses a code page other than ASCII Latin 1 for the browser or EBCDIC 1047 for the server, then apply the correct code page references in the correct locations. Make sure that these parameters are set in the httpd.conf file.
Listing 3. Code page directives in httpd.conf
#These code page directives are included for NLS reference only: #default code pages are correct for En_US #DefaultFsCp - server code page for local EBCDIC documents and CGI DefaultFsCp IBM-1047 DefaultNetCp ISO8859-1
To run the CGI version of ODWEK, you must also modify the logon.htm file located in the /usr/lpp/ars/www/samples directory by changing the reference to ArsWWWServlet to arswww.cgi, as follows:
The supplied logon.htm file is ready to run the Java Servlet Version of ODWEK.
<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="/ArsWWWServlet">
Change the reference to the CGI executable to run the CGI version.

If you will be running the CGI version of ODWEK, then the system is now ready for testing. Please skip ahead to Testing the configuration if this is the case. If you are installing the Java version, then proceed to the next section.
Configuring HTTP and WebSphere Servers for ODWEK Java
Running the Java servlet version of ODWEK requires changes to the configurations for the HTTP server and WebSphere Application Server. The following instructions explain how to update these files.
Configuring the HTTP Server
In the httpd.conf file, located in the IBM HTTP Server root directory, find the "WAS Servlet Support" section and add the path and name of the was.conf file to the end of the ServerInit statement as shown in Listing 4. Notice the ServerInit statement that instructs the HTTP Server to initialize the WebSphere Application Server with the specific was.conf file. Without this ServerInit, mapping you will receive an "Error 500" from the browser when trying to access Content Manager OnDemand via the Internet browser. The Java Servlet version of ODWEK also requires additional mapping statements in the same section of the httpd.conf file. The example "Service" statements in Listing 4 show the mapping of the ODWEK Servlet to the WebSphere Application Server. These statements must be included in the httpd.conf file.
Listing 4. Configuring HTTP server for WAS servlet support
 # ===================================================================== # # *** WAS Servlet Support *** # ===================================================================== # # WAS 350 added 20020213 ServerInit /usr/lpp/WebSphere/AppServer/bin/was350plugin.so:init_exit /usr/lpp/WebSphere,/p3odwek1/was.conf Service /webapp/examples/* /usr/lpp/WebSphere/AppServer/bin/was350plugin.so:service_exit ServerTerm /usr/lpp/WebSphere350/AppServer/bin/was350plugin.so:term_exit # ===================================================================== # # *** OD WEK *** # ===================================================================== # Service /ODwek/* /usr/lpp/WebSphere/AppServer/bin/was350plugin.so:service_exit Service /ArsWWWServlet /usr/lpp/WebSphere/AppServer/bin/was350plugin.so:service_exit Service /ArsWWWServlet/*.pdf /usr/lpp/WebSphere/AppServer/bin/was350plugin.so:service_exit Service /ArsWWWServlet/*.jpg /usr/lpp/WebSphere/AppServer/bin/was350plugin.so:service_exit Service /ArsWWWServlet/*.afp /usr/lpp/WebSphere/AppServer/bin/was350plugin.so:service_exit Service /ArsWWWServlet/*.tif /usr/lpp/WebSphere/AppServer/bin/was350plugin.so:service_exit Service /ArsWWWServlet/* /usr/lpp/WebSphere/AppServer/bin/was350plugin.so:service_exit
In the "Mapping rules" section of the httpd.conf file, add the mappings shown in Listing 5 to accommodate the Java Servlet version of ODWEK.
Listing 5. Mapping rules for Java servlet version of ODWEK

Save your changes to the httpd.conf file.
Configuring WebSphere Application Server
Now it is time to edit the was.conf file, which controls the behavior of the WebSphere Application Server. The was.conf file is also located in the IBM HTTP Server root directory. In the file, find the "appserver.libpath" directive, and add the path (/usr/lpp/ars/www/cgi-bin) to the appserver.libpath parameter (See Listing 6). This path is where the WebSphere Application Server will find the libarswwwsl.so shared library.
Listing 6. Configuring WebSphere configuration file
#--------------------------------------------------------------------# # # appserver.libpath # # appserver.libpath=/usr/lpp/ars/www/cgi-bin #
Next, find the "classpath" parameter in the was.conf file. The "classpath" parameter tells WebSphere Application Server where to find the Java class files that are needed to run the servlet version of ODWEK. In the appserver.classpath parameter, add /usr/lpp/ars/www/servlets, /usr/lpp/ars/www/cgi-bin and /usr/lpp/ars/www/applets. Notice in Listing 7 that all three of these paths are separated by a colon (:)
Listing 7. Editing classpath parameter in WebSphere configuration file
#--------------------------------------------------------------------# # # appserver.classpath # # appserver.classpath=/usr/lpp/db2/db2610/classes/db2jdbcclasses.zip:/usr/lpp/ java13/IBM/J1.3/lib/rt.jar:/usr/lpp/ars/www/servlets:/usr/lpp/ars/www/ cgi-bin:/usr/lpp/ars/www/applets
Next, find the "Deployed Web Application Settings" section of the was.conf file as shown in Listing 8. This section is used by the WebSphere Application Server to find the ODWEK Java servlet application when invoked by the IBM HTTP Server. Notice that the deployedwebapp.ODwek.classpath is using the /usr/lpp/ars/www/servlets directory, which is where the ODWEK Java servlet class file resides by default on the z/OS system. You will need to add all of these directives to your was.conf file so that server can find the Java application class files.
Listing 8. Enabling WebSphere Application Server to find ODWEK Java application class files
# ================================================================== # # Deployed Web Application Settings # # ================================================================== # deployedwebapp.ODwek.host=default_host deployedwebapp.ODwek.rooturi=/ deployedwebapp.ODwek.classpath=/usr/lpp/ars/www/servlets deployedwebapp.ODwek.documentroot=/usr/lpp/ars/www/samples webapp.ODwek.jsplevel=1.0 webapp.ODwek.jspmapping=*.jsp webapp.ODwek.filemapping=/ webapp.ODwek.errorpagemapping=ODerror.jsp
Now search for "Web Application Settings" as seen in Listing 9. You will need to set the autostart to false, map the servlet to /ArsWWWServlet and change the configuration directory to /usr/lpp/ars/www/cgi-bin where the arswww.ini file, the initialization configuration file for ODWEK, resides.
Listing 9. Changing Web Application Settings in WebSphere configuration file
# ================================================================== # # Web Application Settings # # ================================================================== # webapp.ODwek.servlet.ArsWWWServlet.autostart=false webapp.ODwek.servlet.ArsWWWServlet.code=com.ibm.edms.od.ArsWWWServlet webapp.ODwek.servlet.ArsWWWServlet.initargs=ConfigDir=/usr/lpp/ars/www/cgi-bin webapp.ODwek.servlet.ArsWWWServlet.servletmapping=/ArsWWWServlet
Save your changes to was.conf. Now you can begin testing the configuration.
Testing the configuration
To test the changes you have made to the configuration of the IBM HTTP Server and the WebSphere Application Server, you must:
- Restart the IBM HTTP Server, or both the IBM HTTP Server and WebSphere Application server, so that the changes will take effect.
- Modify the arswww.ini file located in the /usr/lpp/ars/www/cgi-bin directory by adding the host, port, and protocol information to [@SRV@_default]. Figure 10 shows the values that we use in our example. The required port number is the port number on which the Content Manager OnDemand Server is running, not the port number of the IBM HTTP Server.
Figure 10. Modifying arswww.ini file
[@SRV@_default] HOST=testcase.ibm.com PORT=1445 PROTOCOL=0
- To test the newly configured system, start Netscape or Internet Explorer, and try logging on to the Content Manager OnDemand system by entering the example URL into the browser command line:
If the system is configured correctly, the logon screen for Content Manager OnDemand appears (Figure 11).
Figure 11. Success! The logon screen appears if your configuration is correct
If the login screen does not appear, go to Troubleshooting.
From the logon screen, enter your Content Manager OnDemand user name and password. Now you can view PDF documents stored in Content Manager OnDemand, as shown in Figures 12 through 15.

This section describes some typical errors and suggests possible remedies.
The ODWEK logon screen did not appear
If you didn't see the ODWEK logon screen, then most likely the mapping for the logon.htm file is incorrect.
If the mapping is correct, check to see if the permissions on the directory /usr/lpp/ars/www/samples and the permissions on the file logon.htm in the /usr/lpp/ars/www/samples directory are correct. Also, make sure the HTTP server is running.
Make the necessary corrections, restart the HTTP and WAS servers and try again.
Error 404, file not found
If the ODWEK logon screen appeared successfully but you received an Error 404 message when you tried to log on, check the httpd.conf file mappings. Make the necessary corrections, restart the HTTP and WAS servers and try again.
Error 500, Server Error
If the ODWEK logon screen appeared successfully but you received an Error 500 message, then you are most likely running the Java servlet version of ODWEK. Check the ServerInit statement in the httpd.conf file, located in the IBM HTTP server root directory, to make sure that the was.conf file was included as shown in Listing 4.
Make the necessary corrections, restart the HTTP and WAS servers and try again.
By now, you should have a simple grasp of how the ODWEK product interacts with the IBM HTTP Server and the WebSphere Application Server on the z/OS system. We hope that these instructions have enabled you to now use this simple, elegant Web-based interface to view the documents that you have stored in Content Manager OnDemand.
