O'Reilly, you missed two
I don't want to take anything away from the winners of the O'Reilly Open Source Awards for 2012, given out at the big corporate FOSS Kumbaya in Portland known as OSCON this past week. All are very deserving of O'Reilly's accolades — especially Elizabeth Krumbach, whose work I see on an almost regular basis — and I won't go into listing the winners or their accomplishments here because O'Reilly has seen to that already.
But there are two — at least two — that were nominated and that O'Reilly missed. The misfortune that these two have been omitted arguably borders on tragic, too, because each of the following folks mentioned below have made significant contributions to FOSS in ways that equal, if not eclipse, those made by some of the this year's recipients.
Here are two you missed, O'Reilly. Maybe next year you can rectify this.
The first O'Reilly oversight is Bill Kendrick. If you have children, you have probably happened upon Bill's software opus Tux Paint somewhere along the line. If you don't, then you may have seen it anyway. In its 10th year, Tux Paint is an award-winning art program for K-6 kids that not only teaches art, but also computer literacy. A long list of schools use it. It's been open source ever since its inception, and is made for a variety of platforms — the usual suspects of Linux, Mac and Windows. Tux Paint alone should garner Bill the award, with an oak-leaf cluster, but he is even more deserving of the award for developing other educational software like TuxTyping — helping kids learn to type — not to mention Tux, of Math Command — which "lets kids hone their arithmetic skills while they defend penguins from incoming comets," according to the website. Or, in other words, think of the '80s arcade game Missile Command, only with math problems instead of incoming nuclear missiles.
[Blogger's note: Bill Kendrick straightens out the personnel lineup for the aforementioned projects here, and a full list of authors and contributors can be found here and here.]
The second oversight is Ken Starks. As those of you who regularly read this blog know, Ken and I go back a ways, back to the days when Ken successfully — miraculously — raised enough money to get Tux on the nose of an Indy car at the Indianapolis 500 back in 2007. The car crashed early in the race — irony of ironies for Linux — and finished last. As long as I've known him, Ken has been the most tireless advocate for Linux and FOSS for years. With the HeliOS Project — now REGLUE, an acronym for Recycled Electronics and Gnu/Linux Used for Education — Ken and his merry band of fossketeers get refurbished Linux-based computers into the hands of underprivileged kids in the Austin, Texas, area. Ken was also one of the co-founders of the Lindependence Project, which brought Linux to a small town back in 2008. Currently, Ken's battle with larynx cancer is limiting his activity, but he is still doing what he can with the hand he's dealt.
So, how about it, Tim?

Woman Finds 80 Skeletons Crammed Into Ikea Bags
(NEWSER) – Centuries-old skeletons should probably be 6 feet under—not overflowing out of blue Ikea bags and shoved under a tarp in a Scandinavian church. But that's exactly what Kicki Karlén says she recently found at the Kläckeberga church in Sweden. "There were loads of skulls and bones stuffed into Ikea bags—I counted up to 80," she tells the Expressen newspaper via the Local. "I became angry, very angry about how they were just sitting there." There appears to be a (somewhat) reasonable explanation, at least for the initial excavation.

Zoo shoots, dissects young giraffe - feeds it to lions
(NEWSER) – The Copenhagen Zoo is facing more than a little wrath today after it put down a healthy young male giraffe with a bolt pistol and fed its meat to zoo carnivores—all over concerns about inbreeding, reports the AP. Two-year-old Marius was considered "surplus," reports the BBC, because he was genetically similar—yet inferior—to many giraffes already within the breeding program of the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria. The over-the-top part? Zoo workers then dissected Marius in front of a crowd that included many children, then fed him to lions. (There are photos in the gallery, but be warned that they are graphic.) A zoo rep stands by the animal's destruction, noting that it's responsible practice. "Giraffes today breed very well, and when they do you have to choose and make sure the ones you keep are the ones with the best genes," he says, adding that the zoo puts down some 20 to 30 animals per year.

What does Billy Ray Cyrus think of Miley's VMA performance?
Listen to Miley Cyrus iHeartRadio
Billy Ray Cyrus is breaking his silence about his daughter's controversial performance at the MTV Video Music Awards. In an interview with "Entertainment Tonight," the singer says he loves Miley "unconditionally," adding that "she's still my little girl and I'm still her Dad, regardless of how this circus we call show business plays out."
Miley has been the talk of Sunday's award show, receiving negative feedback over her provocative dancing and stage antics. Billy Ray says he'll "always" be there for his daughter and "can't wait to see her" when she returns home. The singer happens to serve on the board of the Parents Television Council - one of the groups that has slammed MTV for Miley's "sexually charged" performance.
Miley is also receiving support from other stars, notably Justin Timberlake, who was an honoree at Sunday night's VMAs. In a radio interview, Timberlake said that he approves of Miley's twerking! JT said Miley is "young" and "letting everybody know she's growing up." He added that "it's not like she did it at the Grammys."
One Direction's Harry Styles poked fun at the controversy, telling "Yahoo!" that the act was "very reserved" and that Miley is "quite shy and it's about time she came out of her shell."

WATCH: Big Freedia sets the world record for twerking!
Just when you thought you were out of things to say about twerking…they pull you back in.
The butt-jiggling craze recently popularized by Miley Cyrus weaseled its way into the Guinness Book of World Records when 358 people simultaneously twerked in Herald Square. The event was marshaled by Big Freedia—the "Queen of Bounce," don't you know—to promote an upcoming reality show.
Watch, and accept the fact that "twerking" will never die. At least, not anytime soon.

US Warns Intel Partners: Snowden Has Dirt on You
(NEWSER) – American officials are quietly and delicately alerting intelligence services around the world that Edward Snowden made off with documents that could out them as US collaborators, government sources tell the Washington Post. Countries around the world—some of which are not officially US allies—have been helping the US gather information, particularly on geopolitical foes like Iran, Russia, and China. These partners play no role in the NSA surveillance Snowden has revealed so far; rather, they're helping with more traditional espionage, primarily concerning foreign military capabilities.

P!nk responds to criticism over daughter on motorbike
P!nk isn't letting some Twitter users get away with criticizing her parenting skills.
The singer is responding to backlash over some photos of her two-year-old daughter Willow riding on a motocross bike with her father Carey Hart, who is a professional racer.
Hart had posted the photos over the weekend, showing the girl seated in front of him on a bike. Willow did not have a helmet on, but was wearing headphones to protect her ears.
P!nk took to Twitter, telling followers:
If any of u have more experience on a bike than my husband, then I will listen to your opinions on how he should take my daughter for a ride— P!nk (@Pink) October 29, 2013
I can't promise I will care, but I will listen none the less.— P!nk (@Pink) October 29, 2013
The singer also retweeted several of the nasty messages she received, making it clear to the senders she wasn't concerned with their opinions.
P!nk is currently on the second North American leg of her "Truth About Love" tour. She was forced to reschedule several dates due to a case of laryngitis last week.

Florida Georgia Line to play Billboard touring awards show
Listen to Florida Georgia Line on iHeartRadio
Florida Georgia Line will be helping "Billboard" celebrate a milestone for the publication, and helping a good cause in the process.
The country duo has been tapped to headline a special show marking the tenth anniversary of the Billboard Touring Conference & Awards. Money raised through the concert will go to Musicians On Call, which provide live music and recordings for patients in healthcare facilities.
Florida Georgia Line's Brian Kelley says he and Tyler Hubbard are "honored to be a part of this event," because they're "huge supporters" of Musicians On Call and believe "music equals healing."
Hubbard adds that the duo has been "given so much this year," so they want to "give back in any way" they can." Florida Georgia Line will also take part in the conference, participating in the event's Artist Development Case Study.
The tenth annual Billboard Touring Conference & Awards will take place in New York on November 13th and 14th.

3-Year-Old Dies After Trip to Dentist
(NEWSER) – When Ashley Boyle took her 3-year-old daughter to Hawaii's Island Dentistry for Children in November, she says she was told the child needed six fillings and four root canals. They returned for the root canals on Dec. 3; on Friday, Finley Boyle died, a month after suffering brain damage after the visit to Kailua dentist Dr. Lilly Geyer, reports CNN. The girl's parents plan to file a wrongful death suit, but Fox News picks up alleged details from an already filed negligence lawsuit. Per court documents, Finley was administered five sedatives and anesthetics, Demarol among them, and the "drugs given were as though given individually," reports KITV.

Syrian Opposition Against New Kerry-Lavrov Plan to Avoid Strike
The Syrian political opposition is dead set against the brand-new Obama-administration policy to pursue a new diplomatic negotiation with Russia in an effort to avoid a military strike on Syria, saying the delay and possible cancellation of Obama's strike would only embolden Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Early Monday morning Washington time, Secretary of State John Kerry responded to a question at a London press conference by saying the Syrian regime might be able to avoid a U.S. strike if it turned over all its chemical weapons within a week. Kerry added that he didn't expect that to happen. By the end of the day Monday, the Obama administration had turned Kerry's comments into a new U.S. policy, and President Obama personally pledged not to strike Syria until his administration had explored Kerry's idea, which was subsequently endorsed by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
"Most of Washington woke up and read another gaffe by Kerry and thought it was just that," one U.S. official told The Daily Beast. "By the end of the day, it seems like it is a new policy under serious consideration."
For members of the Syrian opposition who view the strikes as a needed boost in their two-and-a-half-year struggle against the government, the prospect that Obama is backing down from his aggressive stance on striking the Syrian regime is the latest in a string of delays they call unhelpful and unwise.
"I really believe that this regime has had so many opportunities and we shouldn't wait. We need immediate accountability. I doubt very much that the regime would give up its stockpile of chemical weapons just to avert a strike," said Khalid Saleh, official spokesman for the Syrian National Coalition, in an interview. "The regime has committed so many crimes against humanity and was allowed to get away with it. A delay would embolden the regime more."
The Syrian National Coalition has been working with Syrian-American organizations to lobby members of Congress to support the president's efforts to carry out limited strikes against the Assad regime. The coalition says it has always seen the strikes as a needed step to punish the regime and change the momentum on the ground.

Man killed by toilet thrown at soccer match
(NEWSER) – A man in Brazil is dead after police say rioters threw a toilet bowl at a crowd gathered at a soccer match Friday. A video posted on YouTube reportedly shows the moment a toilet bowl was thrown onto the crowd. A Brazilian physics professor told a sports publication the toilet bowl likely came down on the 26-year-old fan with more than 750 pounds of force; police say it's likely the victim died instantly. Three other people were reportedly hurt as fans from the visiting team threw other toilet bowls from the upper decks in the stadium. It's the latest in a series of safety concerns for Brazil, just one month ahead of the World Cup. Newsy reports:

Career clarity tends to be achieved when one's profession is an expression of who they are. When this is not the case work feels too much like a task & too little like an experience with personal meaning. Such situations can feel very draining & distressing, as work is a major part of how we spend our time & relates deeply to our sense of identity. Therefore, helping a person understand who they really are & what they value is crucial to a lasting & satisfying career choice. Indeed, it is also vital to help people remove the barriers that they sometimes place in their own way. This is done though utilizing both insight and the establishment of new patterns that lead to new outcomes.

I help clients clarify their needs rather than needs sculpted through years of compliance with a partner or spouse. The client who is confused or feels lost is asked to slow down the thinking process to get more in touch with the feeling process. This intergrates emotions and feelings and can further guide my client into a path she can be excited about. Now hope comes alive.

Career transitions occur in one of two ways: either forced or voluntary. To be let go from a job can be a humiliating and anxiety provoking experience. Yet it can also be an opportunity for change albeit not at a time of our own choosing. Let's make this an opportunity to look deep inside of yourself and find the career that truly speaks to you. Psychotherapy can be a valuable tool in understanding how and why we hold ourselves back from living a truly fulfilling life. Let's pursue a career that makes us truly feel whole.

Helping you find wholeness...
2345 University Ave, Bronx, New York
Traditional career counseling focuses on exploring career options and then pursuing them. When I work with clients, I prefer to see the work in a broader context. While we will be able to explore some of the traditionally addressed elements, I will also help you look at how your current work (or lack thereof) is affecting you, your relationships and your behaviors. Additionally, from a spiritual standpoint, I will help you explore the relationship between your work and your faith (especially your vocation). In looking at career and work in this broader way, you are more likely to find a place of wholeness and peace. I look forward to joining you on this journey.

Sigmund Freud noted that people generally need two things to live a good life, one is love and the other is work. In the love category this could be the love of family, friends or community. In the work area the need is to have something one does on a regular basis that contributes to feeling productive and like you are contributing to the world. Finding the work you love can be worked on in therapy so that you can get started feeling industrious and showing up fully in your life.

We know being satisfied at work is not just about productivity and competency. You may be great at what you do. You may be very successful by every external metric. Or maybe you aren't motivated or aren't stimulated by what you do. You have to find a way to navigate your current position or find a new one that is satisfying and fulfulling. We help clients clarify their values and identify beliefs and behavioral patterns that have interfered with taking the risks necessary to be professionally fulfilled. Your work life is certainly about financial security, but it can do more than put food on the table. It can feed you intellectually, interpersonally, and emotionally.

Kerry Kuhn is all about teaching the basics and then "doing something with them" — like using natural obstacles and terrain on the trail to teach both horse and rider balance, confidence and control. You'll watch one young colt go from his first saddle experience to going down the trail — the colt is like a kid at Disneyland, exploring and building curiosity. Round pen work? Kerry coaches the audience in how "leaving the round pen" changes the rider's perspective.
Kerry is also very candid and honest about how the round pen can actually work against you. This series includes online groundwork, avoiding restriction of the horse's movements, clear communication, building confidence and trust, the effect of noise and movement, introducing the snaffle, riding up and down hills, how to transform aggressive behavior at feeding time, and how to avoid pulling back.
Sound like a lot of information? You bet it is! Kerry wants to help the audience solve problems, promote courage, develop a feel, stay safe, and get in the saddle and ride!

The van was reportedly stopping to help a sick prisoner but was left running. The prisoners were left in a locked compartment but two of the inmates were able to kick through a partition and take control of the van. Newsy reports on what happened next:

The list was compiled from online nominations from the public and the National Recording Preservation Board. Twenty-five selections are made each year and recordings have to be at least ten years old.

SHOCK VIDEO: Hackers show they can take full control of a moving car
If you're at all the slightest bit skeptical of the emerging capability of hackers to take control of your electronic devices, then don't watch this video. Why? Because you may never drive your car again after you see how a couple of government-funded tech guys were able to hack into, and take control of, one reporter's vehicle — while he was driving it.
The experiment was the product of Forbes reporter Andy Greenberg, who wanted to see just how vulnerable cars are to hacking by Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek, two researchers who reseived an $80,000 grant from the Pentagon's research wing, DARPA, to study such vulnerabilities. The scary answer — shown in a video report — to how vulnerable is "very."
Take for example that Miller, while plugged into the car's computer system in the back seat — could do things like change how much fuel the car appears to have, alter the speedometer reading, actually turn the steering wheel, honk the horn, and even mess with the brakes:

Zimmerman's brother responds: Obama's statement only reinforced 'mythology surrounding the case'
Robert Zimmerman Jr., the brother of George Zimmerman, pushed back quickly Friday against President Obama's surprise statement about the Trayvon Martin case, which Zimmerman said served to merely reinforce "much of the mythology surrounding the case."
Zimmerman spoke to the The Daily Caller via phone immediately following the President's afternoon statement.
President Obama said in the press conference, "When Trayvon Martin was first shot, I said that this could have been my son. Another way of saying that is Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago."
The President said that the nation must address the problems faced by young black males.
"We need to spend some time in thinking about how do we bolster and reinforce our African-American boys," he said, adding that he and First Lady Michelle Obama often discuss the issue.
Zimmerman Jr. told TheDC that his brother was doing exactly what the president suggested well before he encountered Trayvon Martin in February 2012.
"George is a Hispanic man who was mentoring two African American children before the incident," Zimmerman recalled. He told The DC that the father of those children is serving a life sentence in prison. "It goes without saying that African Americans are overrepresented in the criminal justice system, and I think George was trying to break that cycle."

Crushing Christmas: How to Win Every Argument
"Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt."
Soon, many of us will head into the cozy crucible that is the extended family Christmas dinner. There will be side-hugs, nuts with the shells on, starchy dishes, small talk, and then (sure as spring turns to summer turns to glowing autumn), it's time for Opinions on Issues of the Day and also Life Choices You Are Making.
Perhaps in the past, you've imagined that facts and well-reasoned arguments would work. Maybe diplomatic re-routing was the way to go. Keeping the same not-smile smile on your face, nodding quickly and answering with one word. How did these stratagems work out for you?
No more. This year, you stop bringing a pleasant, reasonable knife to a gunfight. This year, your responses will completely derail any conversation in progress. This year, your dinner table blather will leave everyone feeling quiet, unsettled, and somehow reminded of that time at summer camp when an allergic kid got stung by a bee and then died.
Here's how.
Your relative says: "Pope Francis is a Communist. End of story!"
You could politely say: "Welllll, it's difficult to place him on the left-right spectrum as it exists in the U.S. Oh! Is there any more gravy?"
You will instead: Begin gathering nearby plates, dishes, forks and leftovers. Speak authoritatively as you maneuver each item. "So let's say — just pretend, ok? — let's say this pile of mashed potatoes is the Pope. And this spoon," (set it atop the potatoes), "… is the Vatican conclave. And this plate is the Roman Catholic Church. And this wine glass is the Eastern Orthodox Church, but the wine inside it is the faithful who are feeling kind of distant from God lately. And this candle is Joe Biden. And this pepper mill…" Continue in this way until you have named each and every item in the room, including the air itself, which, naturally, is the 2014 Winter Olympics. When someone questions where this is going, smile condescendingly and say, "Actually, this is pretty obscure stuff. Never mind."
Your relative says: "There is no such thing as free speech or a free country anymore. I mean, that guy from Duck Dynasty opened his mouth and boom—look what happened to his First Amendment rights!"
You could quietly interject: "Actually, that's not really how the First Amendment works. It protects people against prior restraint from the government, not exile from a cable reality series."

WATCH: Simon Cowell sings on 'X Factor'
After over a decade of criticizing singers for a living, Simon Cowell has revealed what his own singing voice sounds like.
On Thursday's "X Factor," he sang a line of what was supposed of Elvis' "Can't Help Falling In Love."
The impromptu song was brought on by a joke from fellow judge Demi Lovato. Following a less than impressive audition from one hopeful, Demi remarked that she had a feeling the contestant's voice is what Simon's would sound like.
The 54-year-old father-to-be refused to take the mic, until new judge Kelly Rowland jumped onto the stage to fetch the contestant's microphone for him. Kelly then held him down to his seat and with the microphone in his face, leaving him no choice but to please the crowd. After singing, Simon said, "Thank you. That will never be aired."
Auditions continue on season three of "X Factor" next Wednesday on Fox.

Sasaki didn't set out to be a documentary filmmaker. While working for Japanese public television as a field producer for an educational program about a Christo and Jeanne-Claude National Gallery exhibition she came upon the unique story of art collectors Herb and Dorothy Vogel. "Doing some research, I was so struck and moved by their story. A postal clerk and librarian built a world class collection that was crammed into their one-bedroom apartment in NYC, never sold a piece, and let go all the works to the museum? I couldn't believe it was true," remarks Sasaki, who was instantly inspired to put the Vogel's story on the big screen.To read more or comment...

The official word: TeenNick stokes fan demand for more '90s shows with the addition of two new series to the network's buzzworthy "The '90s Are All That" two-hour programming block. The new lineup of iconic Nickelodeon '90s shows kicks off Monday, Sept. 5, with back-to back episodes of the popular animated series Rocko's Modern Life and Hey Arnold! at 12 a.m. and 1 a.m., respectively (all times ET). Added by viewers' request, Rocko and Hey Arnold! will regularly join All That and Kenan & Kel starting Tuesday, Sept. 6, in the block's 1 a.m. and 1:30 a.m. timeslots. The block also features deeply integrated, fan-driven social media components on Facebook (www.facebook.com/90sAreAllThat) and at www.90sAreAllThat.com. "The '90s Are All That" airs Monday-Friday 12-2 a.m. with replays 2-4 a.m. on TeenNick.
Rocko's Modern Life, an animated series that offers a satirical view on everyday living for an Australian-born wallaby named Rocko, originally ran for 11 years on Nickelodeon. It is further distinguished as the show where future SpongeBob SquarePants creator Stephen Hillenburg first met voice actor Tom Kenny (voice of Heffer), who would later become the inspiration for SpongeBob and create the character's inimitable voice. With its off-kilter humor and a theme song performed by the B52's, the series follows Rocko who explores his new life in the city of O-Town and his friendships with a gluttonous steer Heffer (Kenny); a neurotic turtle Filburt (Mr. Lawrence, voice of Plankton on SpongeBob SquarePants); and Rocko's faithful dog, Spunky.
One of the cornerstone animated series in Nickelodeon's successful launch into prime-time in 1996, Hey Arnold! focuses on the daily life of Arnold--a fourth-grader with a wild imagination, street smarts and a head shaped like a football. Created by Craig Bartlett, who came to Nickelodeon as a story editor for the network's hit animated series Rugrats, and later as a director for The Ren & Stimpy Show, Hey Arnold! is set in a world of subways and sandlot baseball, of bus stops and rooftops and presents a fresh look at life in the big city as seen from a kids' point of view. Arnold has been an important character in the Nickelodeon family and is part of the Nickelodeon legacy of popular, original animation.

The offical word: Syfy's popular series "Haven" will become the first
television series to create a storyline that flows between the show itself and
the micro-blogging service Twitter when it launches a special seven-episode arc
beginning Friday, August 12, at 10PM (ET/PT).
"The Haven writers and producers have done an amazing job of crafting a story
line that seamlessly moves between the TV show and Twitter," said Craig Engler,
General Manager and Senior Vice President, Syfy Digital. "Although there have been simple integrations before, no one has fully and organically integrated Twitter into the fabric of the show in the way Haven is doing. If you watch
Haven and use Twitter, you're in
for a real treat."
In the story, Vince (Richard
Donat) and Dave (John Dunsworth), who run the newspaper in Haven, join Twitter
as newcomers to the medium. Viewers who follow their characters (@VinceHaven,
@DaveHaven) will see them interact with a mysterious Twitter user (@ColdInHaven)
who knows more about Haven – and Vince and Dave – than anyone should.

Arcadia, CA, Nov. 26, 2013 -- The Thanksgiving holiday weekend annually produces great racing and HRTV (R), The Network for Horse Sports, will give racing fans in-depth on-site coverage of major stakes action from three key racing venues -- Churchill Downs, Aqueduct, and Gulfstream Park -- beginning on Friday, Nov. 29.
On Friday, Jill Byrne will report for HRTV from beneath the Twin Spires, as the Grade 1, $500,000 Clark Handicap headlines the bill, with the great Game On Dude and Breeders' Cup Classic runner-up, Will Take Charge, expected to top that superb field. Byrne will also report on Saturday's closing day card which is headlined by a pair of 2-year-old $175,000 events -- the Golden Rod for fillies and Kentucky Jockey Club for colts.
The spotlight shines bright at Aqueduct on Saturday, with the Grade 1, $500,000 Cigar Mile expected to draw an extraordinary field, including two recent Breeders' Cup winners -- Goldenscents (Dirt Mile) and Groupie Doll (F & M Sprint) -- along with an excellent supporting cast. HRTV's Richard Migliore will provide his unique views on the spectacular card, which also offers two Grade 2, $250,000 tests, the Remsen and the Demoiselle.
The Gulfstream Park Winter meeting, annually one of the sport's signature sessions, kicks off on Saturday, and the network's Caton Bredar will report on the happenings from Hallandale. Two $100,000 stakes -- the Pulpit and Wait a While -- headline the opening day card.
Bredar's on-site coverage will signal the beginning of unprecedented on-track meet-long coverage by HRTV, sponsored by XpressBet, which begins on a daily basis on Saturday, Dec. 7. The 15th annual Claiming Crown, which encompasses eight competitive races and $1 million in total purses, tops the racing scene that day.

School stabber was 'shy,' now 'confused, depressed'
(NEWSER) – We're starting to get a clearer idea ofyesterday's stabbing spree at Franklin Regional High School, and of Alex Hribal, the boy who police say did the stabbing, as students step forward to tell their stories. Here's what we know so far:
- Gracey Evans, who's been celebrated for potentiallysaving a victim's life by putting pressure on his wounds, tells KDKA that it's another victim, her best friend, who deserves praise, because he stepped in front of her as the attacker swung. "I probably would have been the one that was stabbed and not him. He took the knife for me."
- That best friend, 16-year-old Brett Hurt, spoke at a hospital press conference describing his terror at being stabbed in the back. He says he barely knew the attacker, and doesn't think he can go back to school anytime soon, the AP reports. "I might freeze," he says.
- Sophomore Trinity McCool tells USA Today that the stabber chased her, though he never actually managed to hurt her. "When he was chasing us, I saw this face—the look in his eyes. I was horrified."

LeAnn Rimes cancels concert after trip to ER
Listen to LeAnn Rimes on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - LeAnn Rimes is apparently in need of some "Get Well Soon" wishes.
The 31-year-old singer canceled a concert in Dublin, Ireland, Thursday after taking to Twitter to lament an intense coughing fit.
Never thought I'd see the ER in Dublin. I have coughed myself into pain. The spasm is intense. Being human sucks sometimes.— LeAnn Rimes Cibrian (@leannrimes) September 12, 2013
And though the "Blue" singer is definitely human, her rep assures omg! she'll be back in singing shape in no time.
"LeAnn is currently on vocal rest in her hotel room under a doctor and vocal specialist's care due to a resurgence of a viral infection that she has been struggling with the past two weeks," says the rep.
However, she won't be wanting for a way to communicate. Rimes also tweeted a photograph of the dry erase board her hotel provided, saying:
A gift from the hotel, a dry erase board cause I'm on 100% voice rest. I was thinking smaller but that'll wrk lol pic.twitter.com/3dZo511ErL— LeAnn Rimes Cibrian (@leannrimes) September 12, 2013
Rimes, who is married to actor Eddie Cibrian, has been touring Europe and was scheduled to perform at Dublin's Vicar Street performing arts center.
Thank you to all my fantastic, understanding, loving fans here in Ireland.— LeAnn Rimes Cibrian (@leannrimes) September 12, 2013
So nice to meet all my loyal fans who tweeted me about the Dublin show. I didn't get to sing or talk to you, but I got to give you all a hug— LeAnn Rimes Cibrian (@leannrimes) September 12, 2013
Here's hoping she feels 100% again soon!

Learn The Secrets Of A Guy Who's Traveled To All 122 Professional Team Stadiums
Listen to Yahoo! Sports Minute on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) Sure, you can say you're a big NFL fan, but until you can do what Sean MacDonald has done, you've got a long way to go.
MacDonald, author of "The Ultimate Football Road Trip," is a member of "Club 122." In other words, he's traveled to the stadiums of all 122 professional sports teams in the NFL, NBA, NHL, and major league baseball. Not only that, in 2013 he saw a game in every single NFL stadium. That's right: 32 teams, 32 stadiums, 17 weeks, one heck of a road trip. And he's here to tell you his secrets.
Sean joined us for a chat on our twice-weekly Shutdown Corner podcast, and you can hear that right here:
Some more statistics from his fascinating four-month odyssey across the NFL landscape:
- He started with the season opener in Denver and ended on Dec. 29 in Seattle, then caught playoff games in Philadelphia, New England, and Denver before concluding the season at the Super Bowl. Not a bad run, huh?
- During the trip, Sean hit 38 of the 48 contiguous states, and drove 20,353 miles all by himself, using 550 gallons of gas.
- The trip cost him a total of $17,000, with $6,000 going toward lodging.
- Not only is Sean married, he got married in June 2013, just before setting out on this journey.
- He found cheap tickets at almost every venue except one. You'll have to read the book or listen to the podcast to find that one out, but here's a hint: he can't repeat that trip.
Sound like fun? Heck yes it does, but most of us don't have the foundation in place to take off for four months and spend five figures. That's all right; Sean has you covered for more short-term jaunts. The latest edition of "The Ultimate Football Road Trip," now available for only $4.99 at Amazon, not only gives a prospective itinerary to hit all 32 stadiums, it breaks down the inside secrets of each one. For instance, you can learn:
- The best places to sit (and avoid) when buying a ticket
- The best places to purchase a ticket on the, shall we say, "secondary market" around the stadium
- Secret routes into and out of each stadium
- The best places to hang and have a drink before and after each game
- Which fans are the rowdiest and drunkest, which means you want to hang with them
Whether you're planning to chuck your life and live as an NFL vagrant or just get away for a weekend and watch some football in a new town, "The Ultimate Football Road Trip" is well worth your time.
As for the Shutdown Corner podcast, linked above? Well, that's here twice a week, and is the product of Kevin Kaduk, Frank Schwab and Jay Busbee. If you'd like to subscribe, and we heartily recommend you do, go to the iTunes page right here. (The non-iTunes link to subscribe is here.) It's all free, don't cost nothin'. Give it a listen and let us know what you think. New episodes every Tuesday and Friday!

Continued in: PART 2
Continued in: PART 2
NPR has just published a list of 100 Favorite Comics And Graphic Novels — and I'm thrilled that Wondermark made the list!
The list has all the usual suspects — Maus, Watchmen and the rest — but makes clear it's a list of favorites, so there's some variety as well:
This isn't meant as a comprehensive list of the "best" or "most important" or "most influential" comics, of course. It's a lot more personal and idiosyncratic than that, because we asked folks to name the comics they loved.
And they break the list down into sensible categories — graphic novels vs. comic books vs. webcomics, etc — which allows for a few favorites to be listed in each.
A lot of my friends are on the list too, which is great, because it means I have talented friends and good taste in friendships! Check out the links for plenty of new reading material.
Thanks, NPR! Sorry for making fun of you in 2006 and again, kind of, in 2012.
(But I know we cool, because I was also briefly on Morning Edition in 2010. And I did that whole thing for Sanden Totten where I impersonated Tesla.)
COMIC-CON ALERT: San-Diego Comic-Con is next week! I will be back at the TopatoCo booth as per usual, #1229!
Remember the mnemonic: Just think 1-2-3-4, and look for booth #1234! Then turn around, and I'll be behind you!
This week's comic features a songwriter character who's shown up in Wondermark several times.
His preëminent work, however, is clearly the "Littlest Butt". I have been honored to see this fine masterpiece, this literary juggernaut, be set to ACTUAL MUSIC several times.
First, by Max Martin, who even added his own extra verses:
Then, by Adam Proctor, and also, by Lusipurr (MP3 embeds in this earlier post). Quite different renditions but ALL PERFECTLY LOVELY BUTTMUSIK.
Now, it's happened again! Here is a KINETIC TYPE rendition by Matt Francis:
Matt also writes:
I saw your comic about the songwriter and his song about wanting the littlest butt on your twitter the other day.
As a wannabe songwriter myself with a few 'comic' songs under my belt I felt inspired by your lyrics and put them to some music.
It's very much a first take special — the bass timing (and the odd note) is a bit out here and there — and the vocals are not a style choice; frankly it was quite late when I recorded them so I had to keep it down a bit.
Hope you like it — and the little joke of my own with the drum part.
Any musical adaptation of any of my comics, PARTICULARLY BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE ONE ABOUT A VERY LITTLE BUTT, I will put on my website. This is a warning and also a promise.
ANIME EXPO ALERT: I will be at Anime Expo in Los Angeles this weekend! Seemed like a good idea at the time. I will be at booth 4018 (listed in the book as TopatoCo) with my pal Sam Logan!
Today's comic originally ran on SAVEUR Magazine, as part of their series of "Recipe Comics".
I've posted about my dad before, a few times. Here he is in a 1959 San Bernardino newspaper; here is a painting Carly did of him; here is the thing I mention most often, an essay about how and why I learned to fly airplanes.
The recipe comic is about him too. He's on my mind a lot. It was just my first Father's Day as a dad myself, and it colors my memories of him somewhat, changes my perspective.
An immigrant working hard so his kids can succeed is one of America's stories. As I prepare to be a dad myself, I'm so thankful to this guy. pic.twitter.com/WRVhZr7Wxh
