It's the second time Jay Leno is departing "The Tonight Show" and while he seems much more comfortable now, that doesn't mean he necessarily wants to retire from the show.
Leno is appearing on Sunday's (Jan. 26) episode of "60 Minutes," offering his candid thoughts about leaving the late night talk show, then and now. In a preview from CBS News, Leno says, "It's not my decision and I think I probably would have stayed if we didn't have an extremely qualified, young guy ready to jump in. [Jimmy Fallon] is probably more like a young Johnny [Carson] than almost anybody since. And he's really good."
He also still isn't entirely over NBC pushing him out of the show in 2009. "I was blindsided … [NBC executives said] 'You're out' and I went 'Okay.'" He never asked why the decision was made, but compares it to being dumped by a girl. Leno also doesn't understand how he became the villain when Conan O'Brien left the show.He says he made a conscious decision not to make fun of anyone in the situation, adding, "It's not my way."
Leno's final episode of "The Tonight Show," if it sticks this time, is Feb. 6 at 11:35 p.m. ET on NBC.

It's just Life
The other Reader critic gets the rest: Personal Shopper, Wilson, and Raw
Matthew Lickona 2 p.m., March 24
Johnny Depp delivers his second film-incarnation of a Hunter S. Thompson character: Paul Kemp, a freelance journalist who takes a job at a financially crippled newspaper in Puerto Rico. Paul is quickly tangled in a web of illegal real estate deals, dangerous romantic prospects, and all manner of alcohol-related hijinks. The script is unapologetically literary; everyone speaks from Thompson's prose. The direction, much like Thompson's writing, meanders more than it hits the mark. 2011.

Representative Tom Reed (R-New York) received the...
The Massachusetts Department of Public Health has ordered a study of Cape Cod newborns to try to determine if any children have been harmed by water contamination caused by the Massachusetts Military Reservation.
''If we can determine whether or not there are impacts, it would lead us to look at other health impacts in a larger study,'' said Suzanne Condon, director of the Bureau of Environmental Health, who was quoted in the Boston Herald.
The study will use data from mandatory health screenings of all newborns in the state and check the results against thyroid readings from 750 babies born in Bourne between 1999 and 2001.
Perchlorate, a pollutant associated with rocket fuel that is suspected of causing thyroid disease, showed up in Bourne's water supply, forcing the community to connect to an alternate supply provided by the military.
The Bourne Water District shut down three of its six wells this spring after officials discovered trace amounts of perchlorate had leaked in from the military reservation.
The Environmental Protection Agency has reported that perchlorate can cause thyroid problems, but has not decided on how much is too much. A draft of a new report suggests 1 part per billion is a safe standard, while over the past decade the agency has suggested a safe range is 4 to 18 parts per billion.
''What is on the minds of a lot of people are repeated statements from the EPA that they don't know the impacts of perchlorate on health,'' said Bourne resident Bob Gray, 52. ''There is always that concern that something is lurking out there we're not testing for.''
During decades of detonations, testing, burning and burying of numerous amounts of rockets, grenades, munitions, and chemicals, most people didn't realize that directly underneath the reservation was the sole source of Cape Cod's drinking supply.
The EPA placed the reservation on its Superfund list in 1989 after it found extensive groundwater contamination, including significant amounts of chemical and fuel oil spills that had leaked from the Otis Air Base.
The agency ordered the National Guard in 1997 to stop any training exercises that used explosives, and later ordered the Guard to clean up the northern two-thirds of the reservation, where it operated.
''Our main goal now is finding out exactly where this [perchlorate] is coming from and take action,'' said Tina Dolen, an environmentalist and Falmouth resident who was hired by the National Guard to help in its investigation and cleanup.
The military paid for and built the $2.5 million, 3-mile water line dedicated Thursday. It begins pumping water today.
Bourne water officials say they are concerned that no one has found the source of the perchlorate leak and that the chemical can appear one day in monitoring wells and disappear the next.

Galactic fossil is 13.2 billion years old
Astronomers say a star in our galaxy is 13.2 billion years old, which makes it nearly as ancient as the universe itself.
The star, named HE 1523-0901, would have formed almost at the dawn of time, just a fraction after the birth of the universe 13.7 billion years ago.
An international group of astronomers, which includes researchers from the Australian National University and Swinburne University of Technology, publish the research in Astrophysical Journal Letters.
The astronomers used the European Southern Observatory's (ESO) powerful Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile to date the primitive star.
The telescope measured radioactive decay of the star's thorium and uranium over time.
As these heavy elements decay at a predictable rate (thorium's half-life is 14 billion years and uranium's is 4.5 billion years), astronomers can therefore calculate the star's age.
They also compared this decay with amounts of 'anchor' elements in the star, specifically europium, osmium and iridium.
This means that the astronomers had several 'cosmic clocks' with which to calculate the star's age.
These cosmic clocks work a bit like carbon dating in archaeology, which measures isotopic carbon levels over time.
While carbon dating measures time spans of up to a few tens of thousands of years, astronomers must work with much longer time scales when calculating how old stars are.
"Surprisingly, it is very hard to pin down the age of a star," says lead author Dr Anna Frebel, from the University of Texas McDonald Observatory.
"This requires measuring very precisely the abundance of the radioactive elements thorium or uranium, a feat only the largest telescopes such as ESO's VLT can achieve," she says.

I'm thinking that the slideshow is somehow interfering with the drop down menu because of the relative and absolute positioning on the #slideshow and #slideshow img but I don't know how to fix it.
Please help!
Thanks for the reply. I was using a jquery plugin for the slide show in the photo banner, however, it was conflicting with the dropdown menu. I believe because both the drop down menu and slide show banner was using both relative and absolute positioning. That's my guess anyway. The drop down menu was falling behind the banner.
I have since changed out the jquery slideshow with a flash banner. The flash seems to be a work-around. I would prefer to use the jquery plugin but couldn't get it to play nice with the dropdown menu. Do you know of any way?
Dropdown menu works fine with static image, but when I added relative positioning and absolute positioning to banner and img, the menu won't work.
If I can find time today, I will upload the former link as a demo.
I suppose you have finally fixed your issue. When I look at the site (http://www.thompsoninsurancefl.com/) I can now see that the jquery dropdown menu is working alright with the jquery slideshow.
Please do share & let us know how you fixed this issue after all?

Royal Caribbean Cruises, Ltd. (NYSE:RCL) recently reported its fourth quarter earnings and discussed the following topics in its earnings conference call.
Insurance Cost Increase
Felicia Hendrix – Barclays Capital: Brian, you talked a little bit about some of the drivers of the cost increases. Just wondering if we could go a little deeper. Regarding the insurance cost increase, you did say that it had gone up. But how much of the increase that you're seeing now is incremental to what you were expecting before? And then I was wondering if you could just discuss the investment spending in more detail that you also highlighted as a driver for the higher costs?
Brian J. Rice – EVP and CFO: Sure, Felicia. Our interest costs in total are up about $20 million year-over-year. So that's a little more than half a percentage points, about 60 basis points.
Felicia Hendrix – Barclays Capital: That's insurance.
Brian J. Rice – EVP and CFO: That's insurance. Most of that is, I mentioned in my comments is related to P&I, which is we're just now in the renewal period, we were actually talking to the clubs last week. We had anticipated some increases we had, I believe, that was about a 10% increase in hull and machinery which we had anticipated, but the P&L was much larger in the allocation of the recovery of those costs to the cruise lines was more substantial than we had anticipated. We are in the midst – I'm going to let Adam talk about some of the marketing investments that we're making, but we also both on capital and on the P&L, we're doing a lot of investment in IT right now. We're working lot with our websites, our core reservation system, our ability to do much more intuitive presentation to our customers as well as to be able to do a lot more revenue management at a more granular level. Those are benefits that have begun to start coming in, but they will also snowball over the next couple of years. So, we've included some benefit this year in our revenue, but I think it's going to be 2014, 2015 that we really hope to get the biggest gains out of that.

Hey man, I dont know if you know but your game is in a Dutch game magazine.
Its one of 5 free downloadable games on the page, I thought Id let you know in case you didnt. :)
All the best.
I am? Nice :) Thanks for telling me.
One of the best typing games ever IMO. Loved the music and the graphics. btw is there something wrong with the top scores table? All of them say DKZ or something with 0 kills... Except for mine, but that's the only one that's different.
The game only features a local highscore table. That's why only your score is showing.
I liked it but....
How do you use fire or lightening or water? I keep dying when I need to use it
The in-game manual could use some work. Perhaps telling us the controls and what they do:
In-Game: Esc - ends game, Space - funky freezey thing when power bar is full, Enter - no clue, but it uses up the power bar
Out of game: M - manual, S - high scores, T - title screen
I'm going to keep trying things out cause it's a fun game, but it's annoying to test keys out
This is very good.
Its educative in some way, also a nice way to train blind typing in a fun and entertaining way. I liked the retro japanese style. Really nice style. I hope I'll see more of these in the future.

5 Simple Rules For Beating Michigan
Posted By Jordan Lauterbach On Sep 10 2010 @ 8:34 pm In Notre Dame | 1 Comment
I'm a bit surprised at the coverage surrounding this game. I understand hype, but this is hardly the biggest Notre Dame – Michigan game of all - time. In fact, I'll venture that last season's was much bigger because some (me included) thought that Notre Dame had an outside shot at a national title (Yup, I drank that Cool – aid). Neither of these teams are close to being close to a title, but it is one of the best rivalries in the sport and I think the Rich Rod vs Kelly aspect of it is, at the very least, of note. And with that….. 5 keys.
1. Stop Denard Robinson– This has been talked about on the blog at length today, so I'll touch on it only briefly. Robinson is a dynamic rushing threat, one that the Irish can easily have trouble with. The run defense was not great last week. Although Purdue only had 102 yards on the ground as a team, two players averaged four or more yards a carry. The phrase of the day will be containment. While Michigan has success in the passing game last week, it remains to be seen if that can be a consistent formula for the Wolverines. If Notre Dame forces Robinson to throw the ball, this one will be a game with five minutes to go. If Robinson can scramble at will, it won't.
2. Utilize Michael Floyd… A lot– The Crist – Floyd relationship has yet to be established. This is a bit surprising considering that Floyd is the Irish's top offensive weapon. Didn't these guys practice this summer? Despite five catches last week, Floyd wasn't part of a fluid offensive game plan. Any questions as to why the offense stalled at points point back to the best player not being involved. This can't become a trend. If Brian Kelly doesn't trust Dayne Crist enough to throw the ball down field, then a change must be made. We'll see about that on Saturday. Floyd torched Michigan for 131 yards on seven catches and a touchdown in last year's matchup. It would have been worse had he not gotten hurt late in the game. A still suspect Michigan secondary should be feasted on with a heavy dose of Michael Floyd. If attempted, it will succeed.
3. But don't forget about these guys! – Obviously Kyle Rudolph should always be a highly considered option in the passing game, but watch out for T.J Jones. Jones caught a touchdown against Purdue last week and has a great chance to act in the same ways that Golden Tate did. No secondary is going to be beat by just one guy, unless the running game is ultra – strong. T.J Jones can either be the guy Michigan forgets about or a tremendous asset to Michael Floyd. Both are good options.
4. Give Michigan splinters– It's a Cierre Wood pun! Get it? Puns!.. Wood looked outstanding last week. Brian Kelly talked this kid up in the offseason and he immediately made Kelly look great. What didn't make Kelly look great was Wood getting only 7 carries after dominating the first quarter. You can't get too upset because Armando Allen looked fantastic as well, but it would have been nice to see the good first quarter vibes continue. Because of Allen, Wood won't get 30 carries, but would 12 in a more spread out fashion be too much to ask?
5. Get off the field on third down – Michigan converted 14 of 19 third downs last week. This is when a running quarterback like Robinson can be most dangerous.
The Pick: Michigan – 35 – Notre Dame – 24……. Few games that can be pinpointed on whether or not one guy can be stopped are picked as losses, but this is one. Nothing against Purdue showed any sort of a killer instinct from the Irish. They let the Boilermakers hang around and got away with it. Michigan isn't Purdue. Denard Robinson in the kind of player that will rip your heart out if he hangs around. Too much of Notre Dame's offense is unproven. What is Dayne Crist at this point? How is the Floyd – Crist chemistry? What is the running game balance of carries situation like? It's just too many questions for this big a game.

Fish and Game Taking Public Comment For Fish Stocking Plan
The Alaska Division of Sport Fish is now accepting public comment on its statewide fish stocking plan. The division, with assistance from private nonprofit hatchery operators, plans to release approximately seven million fish into Alaska waters every year for the next five years.
The stocking plan outlines the location, number and size for each species of stocked fish. Many of the fish-stocking areas covered by the plan are on the Kenai Peninsula, including Chinook salmon enhancement efforts in northern Cook Inlet, Kachemak Bay and the Kasilof and Ninilchik Rivers.
The deadline for comment is January 15th.

Ostrander Will Stay On As Facilitator For KPB Task Force
This month's meeting of the Borough's Anadromous Streams Task Force started off with a discussion about semantics. At issue was the role of the Mayor's Chief of Staff Paul Ostrander, who is serving on the Task Force as group's facilitator. Some members of the Task Force wanted more clarification about the nature of facilitating these meetings.
Free Wood On K-Beach, Sterling Highway
Crews from the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities are at work clearing vegetation from right-of-way sections of the Sterling Highway near Ninilchik and K-Beach Road between Kenai and Kasilof.
In a Press Release, the DOT said the objective of the work is to increase safety by minimizing shaded areas to decrease snow and ice accumulation, improve sight distance to reduce accidents and wildlife strikes and remove food sources that may attract wildlife to the highway corridor.
The wood that's being cleared can be picked up by the public for no charge, but there are some safety rules: No parking along the highway to gather wood, keep 1,000 feet away from any equipment being used for the project and secure loaded wood for transport.

This compressed file contains 9 text files that make up the entire source code for the original Metroid game for the NES. These files are an expansion of SnoBro's Source code he posted a few years ago. The code has been changed to be assemblable with Ophis instead of x816 because of memory issues. Labels corresponding to address values have been added to every line to make the code easier to follow for beginners interested in understanding the inner workings of a Nintendo game. The labels also make the code easier to debug if it is modified. At this time, the source code is still a work in progress but it is much farther along than the original document. The title page is completely documented. The intro routine, end routine, password scheme and sound engine are described in detail. About a third of the game engine is detailed and about half of each game area page.

The disturbing footage of Tony Stewart's race car hitting and killing fellow driver Kevin Ward Jr. at Canandaigua Motorsports Park last Saturday night has been viewed by millions worldwide on the Internet and television. But Mike Paz still hasn't seen the videos that went viral, and he hopes he never does.
"I have no desire to see somebody getting killed," says Paz, a longtime Rochester radio personality who has spent parts of three decades as the track announcer for major racing events at Watkins Glen International Speedway.
Paz, 61, has witnessed death at a racetrack before. In fact, he was the public address announcer at the Daytona 500—the Super Bowl of auto racing—in 2001 when one of the most famous drivers of all time, Dale Earnhardt Sr., died of severe head injuries suffered in crashing against a wall on the race's final turn.
"Any driver that straps on a helmet and gets behind that wheel understands that he or she may die before the end of the race," Paz says. "That's part of the risk you sign up for in this business. But it's still pretty rare."
What makes Ward's death so tragic is that it was preventable. It didn't need to happen. Auto racing is one of the most competitive and dangerous sports, with men, women and machines often barreling down and around tracks at harrowing speeds in close quarters. Drivers are always operating on the edge, always pushing the accelerator.
"It's an incredible adrenaline rush for them," Paz explains. "And sometimes that desire to be first can get the better of them."
Occasionally, they bump or nudge an opponent's car to gain or maintain the lead. Sometimes, though, they do so out of anger. They try to retaliate. And that's when things can get really dangerous, even tragic.
We probably will never know what really happened Saturday night. But this much we do know: Stewart's car nudged Ward's car, sending it crashing into the wall. Ward was OK until he decided to get out of his vehicle while cars were still zooming around the track. He agitatedly pointed at Stewart's car, was hit by it and went flying through the air. Ward, 20, died almost instantly.
Some longtime racing observers speculated that Stewart had been trying to "dust" Ward, drive close enough to him to spray dirt on Ward's shoes, give him a scare. There is no proof of that. And it should be stressed that as I write this, no charges have been filed against Stewart, though an investigation is continuing.
One of the reasons for such speculation is Stewart's reputation as a hothead. He has long been a polarizing figure—a racer fans either love or hate, with no middle ground. There is a video from another race showing him throwing his helmet at a competing car. And since Saturday night's tragedy, we've viewed footage of other drivers being confrontational, some coming to blows.
"Sometimes Tony's competitive emotions just get the better of him," Paz says. "He can be tightly wound, especially behind that wheel. But I must say this: I've interviewed him on numerous occasions and I've been around him when the tape isn't rolling, and I've found the guy to be very likable. He has a great sense of humor. And he's given an awful lot back to his sport and charitable causes through his foundation. I have no idea what happened Saturday night. But sometimes, in the heat of the moment, people can be ruled by their emotions."
This is difficult to write, especially at a time of tragedy, but Ward is culpable here, too. Getting out of one's car while other cars are hurtling by on a racetrack is beyond risky.
"Unless, your car is on fire, you should never leave it in that situation," Paz says. "That would be like you wandering across a busy interstate. But this, by no means, is the first time I've heard of this occurring. I've been at several races where it's happened, and it's just plain foolish. I feel terribly for Kevin Ward Jr. and his family. I know he was probably upset, maybe justifiably so. But you should not leave that car unless you have to."
Sadly, he did and the world witnessed a tragedy that never should have happened.
Extra points from the world of sports
- I didn't take part in this week's RBJ Snap Poll about whom I'd like to see as Buffalo Bills owner, but if I had, my answer would have been "Anybody who will keep the team in Western New York." Like many, I'm uneasy about the ownership group headed by rocker Jon Bon Jovi. I don't care what he says; if his group wins, we lose and the team eventually moves to Toronto.
- After visiting each NFL stadium, an author concluded that the Bills have the league's drunkest fans. It's not exactly something you build a marketing campaign around. Of course, as one of my friends joked, "If you suffered through four Super Bowl losses and 14 seasons without the playoffs, you'd drink, too."
- I think a Legends Tour stop would do well in Rochester. Several years ago, Wegmans brought back legendary golfers Nancy Lopez, Patty Sheehan, Pat Bradley and JoAnn Carner for a one-day event, and the galleries were huge. A Legends event wouldn't be as well-received as a major championship, but I think it would do well.
- I grew up devouring Sport, Sporting News and Sports Illustrated and decided to become a sportswriter after reading the magnificent journalism each publication practiced. Sadly, Sport is defunct, Sporting News is all-digital and SI has scaled back its print editions. I guess I'm an old curmudgeon, but I still like to hold a newspaper, magazine or book in my hands. Something about it is more intimate than reading on a computer, iPad or smartphone. SI just turned 60, and I'm hoping they keep printing the magazine for many years to come because they still produce some of the best writing and photography you can get your hands on.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
The 2013 Fusion can't drive itself (yet) but the fact that Ford is now packing radar, sensors and cameras in even a mid-market sedan is another sign that automakers are headed down the highway toward Google's vision of driverless driving.
"They're really stretching us as an industry," said Ford chief technology officer Paul Mascarenas Tuesday of Google's experiments with self-driving cars that have logged some 300,000 miles.
Mascarenas was in San Francisco to unveil the new Ford Fusion, and given the proximity to Silicon Valley the focus was on the technology the automaker is deploying as it takes on the Honda Accord, Toyota Camry and other bland but big-selling sedans.
Radar embedded in the front of the Fusion sweeps the road ahead and when the adaptive cruise control is activated the car automatically slows down as it approaches another vehicle within a certain distance and then speeds up when the gap widens. The radar also detects potential collisions, flashing a warning on the windshield while preparing the brakes for a sudden stop.
Another system uses cameras to detect when the car begins to drift, emits a warning and can automatically steer the car back into the lane. Rear radar detects when a vehicle has entered the Fusion's blind spots and flashes a message on the appropriate side mirror.
The parallel parking feature uses ultrasonic sensors to look for suitable parking and automatically steers the car into the space. Altogether the Fusion boasts 70 microprocessors and 74 sensors that produce 4,700 signals within the vehicle.
"That's 25 gigs of data per hour being generated," said Mascarenas during a discussion with Steven Shladover, a research engineer at the University of California, Berkeley's Partners for Advanced Transportation Technology program.
Ford markets this technology as safety and convenience features. But Shladover wondered if the automaker was actually preparing customers to get used to cars that increasingly drive themselves.
"The logical extensions of these features is giving them more and more functionality and moving into more and more automatic driving features," replied Mascarenas.
But whether automakers end up replicating Google's self-driving system depends on cost and other factors, he added.
"It comes to the affordability question and the ability to democratize technology and also the real world environment you're driving in," Mascarenas said.
That future is on its way, however.
As my colleague Joann Muller wrote recently, Ford and other automakers are participating in a pilot program sponsored by the U.S. Department of Transportation to test vehicle-to-vehicle communication technology. Cars would alert each other of traffic jams and accidents while also talking to stoplights and other transportation infrastructure, alerting drivers and perhaps one day taking over the controls themselves.

The economics of sexuality: The effect of HIV/AIDS on homosexual behavior in the United States
In this paper, I test a simple microeconomic theory of sexuality. I apply the theory to make predictions about the effect of AIDS on sexuality, since AIDS dramatically altered the cost of sexual activities. Using a nationally representative dataset on sexuality in the United States, I estimate the effect of AIDS on male and female homosexual behavior. To do so, I postulate that people who have a relative with AIDS, on average, have more knowledge, awareness, and fear of AIDS. Empirically, this variable is uncorrelated with a number of individual background characteristics. I present evidence that AIDS causes some men to shift from homosexual to heterosexual behavior, whereas AIDS causes some women to shift from heterosexual to homosexual behavior. Thus, sexual behavior may respond to incentives. I consider alternative hypotheses, including biological theories of sexual orientation and stigma-related survey bias, and argue that they are unlikely to explain the results.

Serbia captain Maja Ognjenovic: Honestly, it was a very easy match for us – easier than we expected – but more importantly it was a win for us. We knew the weakness of the Dominican team was receptions and we used that.
Serbia No. 2 Jovana Brakocevic: We knew they have problems with reception so we tried to serve harder and tried to play better against their block and tried to catch them because they are strong attackers.
Dominican Republic coach Marcos Kwiek: The only thing our team can do is to try to go forward from now on. As a team, I don't think we have shown our real strength. Today, the Serbian service was very good and that was a cause of our loss. But we are improving set by set and getting better. We have a difficult game tomorrow against Japan, but we will try hard to show our real potential.
Dominican Republic captain Milagros Cabral: The Serbian team was better than us. Our attack was blocked and that led to this result. We have reset our minds for tomorrow's match against Japan.

Too nice outside to blog
Linux for the GNU South — it's coming up so attend if you can.
Make no mistake: There's a lot out there to write about, obviously — The OpenOffice.org handoff to Apache, the trials and tribulations of desktop environments and their continual dumbing-down for the dumbest of us, and other stuff. I'll get to that later, as well as those in Santa Cruz getting a treat later this month with networking professor Rick Graziani from Cabrillo College taking time from the surf — the real surf, with a surfboard as opposed to a motherboard — to explain IPv6 to us.
I still have a few scripts and assorted code, with the Python book close at hand, which will someday be a Facebook app called "Lifeville" — it tells you that you're spending too much time on the computer, gives you two minutes to save what you're doing, signs you out of Facebook and then a minute later (just in case you forgot something) shuts down your computer — but not before giving you a message: "Do you use your powers for good or for awesome?" That last quote comes from Fedora Ambassador mentor and all-around good guy, the soon-to-be Rev. Scott Williams.
So despite the weather being quite screwy — even here, at least until today — if you look out your window and see it's a nice day and the only thing you're doing right now is reading this blog or being involved in some other frivilous digital endeavor (wait, let me rephrase that . . . .), shut down your computer and get outside.
I'll make you a deal: If you are lucky enough to have a nice day and you have the time to go outside, I promise to blog later on regaring the items above. I'd do it now, but the day here is too nice.

Good blog Free Software Guy, very good.
Went out and played with the plants in the front yard.
Went to the backyard and attended to the garden.
Ripping out the walls in the bathroom, waiting for
the shower pan to be delivered. I get to spend time
outside taking the pieces of wall to the dumpster.High 90s here today w/20-30 mph breeze. Nice.
Windows are open and the fans are turning.Computers? Not as a lifestyle, eh?
We all should be doing something with dirt. Plant
a tomato. You apartment dwellers can get one of
those container tomatoes. Grow something, eh? -

I appreciate the shout out and the quote, but need to make two qualifications. First, that's actually a quote I borrows from Strong Bad:
Secondly, I'm no Rev. ;-).

Ah. To clarify, Scott is studying theology at a seminary, but is pursuing an academic, and not a pastoral, route. Sorry, Scott.

A wide range of air and maritime attack and surveillance systems will be showcased at the biennial Singapore Airshow, which will also feature the latest developments in commercial aviation, such as Airbus' A350-XWB long-range aircraft. "The Asia Pacific region is extremely important to us particularly as we broaden our global focus, and Singapore is a key market," said David Perry, vice president and chief global business development officer at US weapons firm Northrop Grumman. "Our objective is to continue to... provide the most advanced capabilities to help meet the region's defense and security needs," he said in a press statement ahead of the event, which runs until Sunday. Among Northrop Grumman's exhibits is the Triton unmanned aircraft system especially adapted for maritime surveillance. US firm Lockheed Martin, which makes the F-16 fighter, will also have a big presence to promote anti-submarine warfare, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities. The defense wings of passenger aircraft makers Boeing and Airbus are also exhibiting their latest wares, including unmanned aerial systems. Among Boeing's displays is the P-8A Poseidon, which it describes as the world's most advanced anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare aircraft. Airbus will display the C-295 versatile tactical transport plane configured for maritime patrols. Analysts say the balance of military power is gradually shifting to Asia, with countries beefing up their armed forces as their economies grow and regional tensions simmering because of territorial disputes. China is embroiled in overlapping claims over islands in the South China Sea with Taiwan as well as the Southeast Asian states of Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines and Vietnam. Beijing lays claim to almost the entire sea, including waters close to the shores of its smaller neighbors, and its aggressive moves to enforce its claims have sparked concern over its ambitions. Diplomatic tensions between Japan and China are also rising because of a dispute over uninhabited islands in the East Sea which Tokyo refers to as the Senkakus and Beijing calls the Diaoyus. Meanwhile, the Korean Peninsula remains a potential flashpoint for an armed conflict between South Korea and its nuclear-armed neighbor, North Korea. Rising Defense Spending "Asia Pacific is the only region where from 2009 onwards we have seen a steady rise in defense expenditure," said Craig Caffrey, senior analyst at IHS Jane's, a defense industry consulting and analysis company. He said in a report that, based on IHS Jane's latest projections for defense budgets, the Asia Pacific's share of the global budget spend would grow to 28 percent, or $474 billion, by the end of the decade -- up from the current 24 percent. Caffrey said the region, excluding China, will overtake Western Europe in defense spending by 2015, as Australia, India, Japan and South Korea increase their defense budgets. By 2015, China is forecast to spend $159.6 billion on defense, up from $139.2 billion in 2013. This will be bigger than the combined defense budgets of Britain, France and Germany projected at $149 billion, it said. China, which commissioned its first aircraft carrier in 2012 and carried out test flights on a stealth fighter jet, is already the world's second biggest defense spender after the United States whose budget in 2013 was $582.4 billion, IHS Jane's said. The London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies said in its Military Balance 2014 report that in real terms, Asian defense spending was 11.6 percent higher in 2013 than in 2010, while Europe's expenditures fell by 2.5 percent in the same period. On the civilian side of the Airshow, commercial deals potentially worth billions of dollars are expected to be announced. Vietnam's first private airline, VietJetAir, is expected to announce the finalization of an order for 62 Airbus A320 planes worth $6.1 billion, an industry source close to the deal said. An order for 20 Airbus A380 superjumbos worth $8.0 billion by leasing group Doric Asset Management could also be announced, the source said. The total value of deals during the Airshow's 2012 edition reached $31 billion, up threefold from 2010, organizers said.

The Tin Men: a classic trio, with unorthodox instrumentsNew Orleans Advocate September 16, 2015Sousaphone, guitar and washboard, enhanced by tin cans and hotel desk bell? It's not your usual musical lineup. But in some respects, The Tin Men is a classic trio. The guitar functions as a midrange instrument producing melody and rhythm; the washboard provides percussion; and sousaphone, a portable version of the tuba, supplies the bottom end. "Yeah, just like Cream," said "Washboard" Chaz Leary, referring to the 1960s power trio with Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce. "It's just a little different from what people are used to," added singer-guitarist Alex McMurray. "We don't let that stop us. We do whatever music strikes our fancy. For The Tin Men's fourth album, "On the Shady Side," the guys fancied local standards they perform every Wednesday night at d.b.a on Frenchmen Street. The track list includes songs by Danny Barker, Allen Toussaint, Fats Domino and James... |
Spencer Bohren, Paul Sanchez, Alex McMurray and Jim McCormick take flight as the Write BrothersThe Times Picayune January 15, 2015The Write Brothers had a problem.

Thanks to Laura DeFazio, Aurora Nealand, Mike Darby and everyone who came out! What a great space! Of all the incredible events and concerts that went on this past Halloween weekend, the most memorable was also the most bizarre. The Redhaus, an Alice-in-Wonderland-level-trippy art space on St. Claude complete with a thoroughly life-threatening tree house structure out back, marked its reopening Sunday night with an underground concert featuring Frenchmen notables Alex McMurray, Aurora Nealand, and Mike Darby. Various collaborators had been hard at work for weeks to ready the gutted double shotgun for the show, but everything was still fascinatingly precarious, with countless nooks and crannies and weird surprises. A giant mechanical skeleton swimming in psychedelic projections hung from the ceiling, a gondola from the 1984 World's Fair sat perched casually in a treetop in the... |
For over a decade, the Tin Men have been collaborating to harness an eclectic melding of genres. With infl uences of swing jazz, R&B, Motown, and easy listening, their latest release, Avocado Woo Woo, captures the unique spirit radiating out of New Orleans and beyond. The trio consisting of Washboard Chaz (vocals, percussion), Matt Perrine (sousaphone), and Alex McMurray (guitar, vocals) has perfected a relationship with their instruments. Whether or not you've seen the mastery in action at their d.b.a. home court or not, the album exemplifi es just this. From the gospel praises of "Jesus Always Get's His Man" to the folksy title track, "Avocado Woo Woo," to the stand out percussion performance in "Why Don't You Haul Off and Love Me?" and the perfectly executed "Lonely One In This Town," the Tin Men are dressed to impress. Aside from the band's consistent display of technical... |
Set aside for a moment the fact that the guitar is amplified, also that the plucky instigator who wields said axe is slinging M.F.A.-yearning narratives at the mic. Disregard too that his rhythm-section mates are unquestionably at or near the top of their respective instrument games. At heart the Tin Men still epitomize the folksy, down-home realm of the New Orleans street sound... |
No New Orleans band combines the city's unique blend of musicianship, sense of humor and sheer eccentricity better than the Tin Men. The instrumental lineup is singular—Alex McMurray on guitar and vocals, Matt Perrine on tuba and Washboard Chaz, who sings like Tampa Red and plays his customized washboard like an early jazz drum kit. The combined sound is elastic, with approaches that range from indie rock to folk, brass band or free improvisation. And of course that sense of humor is never far from the surface. When musicians have this much fun playing together it's hard not to have a good time listening to them. The new album Avocado Woo-Woo is "maybe the best record I've ever done," said Chaz, who has made a lot of them with different bands... |
Alex McMurray may be the hardest-working man in New Orleans show business... |
According to a friend of mine, the homes in the Bywater are "so close together you can hear your neighbor reading a magazine." This past Wednesday, the two stages of Chaz Fest brought more interesting noises... |
On a recent Saturday evening Alex McMurray filled Siberia with an audience that hung on every word of his compositions, a catalog that ranges from wry to wistful to ribald. McMurray is adept at this solo magic, playing material mostly culled from his 2012 release I Will Never Be Alone In This Land. McMurray has also been playing shows, often with special guests, Thursday nights in the Saturn Bar, in what amounts to an intimate house party. A little too intimate for McMurray's taste. |
It's lucky for music lovers that Tulane alumnus Alex McMurray decided one day in 1992 to ask himself what would happen if kept riding his bike into the unknown — beyond the French Quarter. The journey took him to the Bywater neighborhood of New Orleans, where he co-founded the local music festival Chaz Fest that takes place in his own backyard on Wednesday (May 1). |
ALEX MCMURRAY / Will Never Be Alone In This Land Threadhead THR00051 (CD). 2012. Carlo Nuccio, prod.; Jacques DeLatour By John Swenson, December 2012 stereophile.com Alex McMurray is the linchpin of one of the most vibrant music scenes in contemporary America: the Bywater neighborhood of New Orleans. This bohemian paradise has its own fringe festival, Chaz Fest, run by the enter-prising McMurray, who plays with the Tin Men, Happy Talk Band, and the Valparaiso Men's Chorus. While his versatile, genre-defying guitar work is a prized asset in local sessions—McMurray is one of the core players at Bywater's recording mecca, Piety Street Studios—his greatest strength is his songwriting. McMurray's compositional imagina-tion seems boundless. He covers as wide a stylistic range as any contempo-rary writer, matching cleverly turned lyrics and story songs with durable melodies and a... |

"The people that drive you crazy — the only people that can really drive you nuts are the people that love you," a soft-spoken Alex McMurray tells host Zachary Young in this week's episode of OffBeat's Look-Ka Py Py Podcast. "They're going to be the ones that help you," he goes on to reveal. |
The Grand Sultan of St. Claude (and other streets) songwriting, Alex McMurray is among the best songwriters in New Orleans, a man who over the past two decades has written songs that mark our lives, deaths, loves, hates, hangovers, and what comes before and after those excesses.

A reverse auction is a type of auction in which the roles of buyer and seller are reversed. In an ordinary auction (also known as a forward auction), buyers compete to obtain a good or service by offering increasingly higher prices. In a reverse auction, the sellers compete to obtain business from the buyer and prices will typically decrease as the sellers undercut each other.
A reverse auction is similar to a unique bid auction as the basic principle remains the same, however a unique bid auction follows the traditional auction format more closely as each bid is kept confidential and one clear winner is defined after the auction finishes.
In business, the term most commonly refers to a specific type of auction process (also called procurement auction, e-auction, sourcing event, e-sourcing or eRA, eRFP, e-RFO, e-procurement, B2B Auction) used in government or private sector procurement.
In consumer auctions, the term is often used to refer to sales processes that share some characteristics with auctions, but are not necessarily auctions.

Sunil Narine joins elite most 4-wkts club
KKR co-owner promises another season of joy to Kolkata
After tough four years that his team went through in the IPL, Shah Rukh Khan finally experienced what it felt like to be the owner of a winning team, in 2012. Led by an inspiring captain in Gautam Gambhir, the Kolkata Knight Riders gave the city of joy their share of elation.
Now, as KKR embark on the journey of defending their title, in Pepsi IPL 2013, co-owner, Shah Rukh, promises the people of Kolkata that the team will not let them down.
Here's an extract from Shah Rukh's chat with iplt20.com ahead of the Pepsi 2013 IPL Opening Nite, in Kolkata.
Cricket has been India's most popular sport for a long time. Tell us something about your early cricketing experiences – watching and playing.
I have been a cricket fan ever since I can remember. I also played the sport in my university days. It is a great sport with traditions of its own.
What is your take on the three formats of cricket?
Each format has its own sets of followers. I love all three forms. We recently beat Australia 4-0 in Tests, and of course, we are the defending champions in ODIs. T20 cricket has its own set of plusses, in that it showcases the most exciting elements of the game, in three hours.
How do you assess the past five years of IPL and how do you think the upcoming Pepsi IPL 2013 is going to fare?
The IPL was a success in its first year itself, and has only got bigger and better in later years. This process is going to continue, in the years to come.
What made you buy an IPL team?
I wanted to get involved in cricket and felt that the IPL was an exciting concept. I guess I was justified.
Kolkata Knight Riders have been through a lot. What according to you were the factors that shaped KKR's triumph in 2012?
We were consistent right through the tournament. Gautam Gambhir led very well, and the players delivered in crunch situations. The team's interests were respected throughout. Manvinder Bisla played that great innings in the final with the legendary Jacques Kallis anchoring the chase. It was a memorable night.
If you are to pick one 'turning point' of last year's campaign, what would it be?
It is difficult to pick one 'turning point.' The team was consistent from the start, and it paid off.
The IPL has become synonymous with the term 'Cricketainment.' What according to you, does the IPL have in common, with the mainstream Hindi cinema that you have been associated with?
Excitement, suspense, tension, joy, heartbreak, and action!!!!!
Would you like to see more of your colleagues from the film industry join the IPL?
Yes. Why not!!! The more, the merrier!!!
Who will be the KKR players to watch out for in this season?
It would not be fair to name a few players. We believe in giving equal importance to every member of the side. I am sure they will deliver.
The Pepsi IPL 2013 Opening Nite is being touted as the 'grandest sporting spectacle ever seen in India.' What are going to be its highlights, and what will your role be in the same?
The Pepsi IPL 2013 Opening Nite will be a spectacular ceremony, the likes of which India has never seen before. I will be performing to some of my songs. Katrina Kaif and Deepika Padukone, two of my co-stars, will also be there. Pitbull, the international rapper, will thrill the audiences.
And lastly, is there anything you would like to say, to KKR fans in general, and Kolkatans in particular?
Thank you for the love and respect. We will not let you down in the Pepsi IPL 2013, we promise!

Watch more exciting fly fishing videos from around the Taupo region and other great fishing spots in New Zealand on our Fly Fishing Videos page.
We've had a patch of clear weather with no substantial rain over the last couple of weeks, which means lower clear conditions in most Taupo rivers, but also some stunning days to enjoy. The weather is breaking today with low cloud and drizzle overnight and rain expected to settle for the next few days which will undoubtedly trigger more fish to enter the rivers. Over the last decade or more over half of all spawning trout have run in September or later. This is a great time to fish as the days are longer and warmer and there are less anglers on most rivers.
We've had some good heavy rain over the last few days and nights which will get more fish moving, along with the extra flow in the Tongariro river from the recreational releases. You can see river flow graphs on our river flow page here. Before the rain, conditions have been low and clear and rivers like the Tauranga-Taupo and Waitahanui have been quite difficult for many.
Over the last few years the Department of Conservation reports have shown the majority of trout, particularly Rainbows, don't move into the Taupo rivers until September and later. This makes Spring fly fishing some of the best in the year as there are more fresh fish, often fewer anglers, and the days are a little longer and a little warmer.
With higher flows the wet-liners have been doing well on the Tongariro, with the usual flies being green and brown Woolly Buggers and size 8 red Rabbit also getting results. When the flow is up remember to fish the fringes of pools before charging in past your knees. We have guided novices many times who have been unable to cast far but have hooked trout in close when the water was slightly murky. If the river is racing then trout are naturally going to seek the most economical flows with least resistance so they can preserve energy. The town pools on the Tongariro fished well on Saturday and those fish will have moved up further, whilst fresh runs will have come in over night. This is good news as it means there are fresh run trout all through the river. If you have a favourite pool then get there and have a crack. If you are unsure then try the Bain or Swirl pools down lower, or up round Red Hut are good choices. If you are nymphing test out the size of Glo-Bugs you use in these conditions as you may be surprised that a larger size attracts the fresh runners.
Local Taupo and Turangi fly fishing waters are still very hit and miss at the moment with low clear conditions. We keep getting promises of rain but they never eventuate to much so we only get very inconsistent and small runs. We need some real big heavy downpours to last for a few days and get the water table higher, then we might get some proper runs. Looking at last year this was around the end of July so it will be interesting to see what happens this year.
When the runs do happen though there have been some very good quality fish being caught, just a case of being Johnny on the spot !! Our pick of the week would be the Waitahanui as some fresh fish headed up last weekend and as we noted earlier there are some stonkers in there, but as always hard to land. As the moon gets less the fishing at the Rip should improve too. There is no question a lot of good fish are waiting to run so get out there after work at change of light with a white or orange Boobie and you might snag a screamer.
The rains have come!! Hallelulah!!
Fly fishing in local Taupo rivers over the last few weeks has been a bit unpredictable. Compared to this time last year the Waitahanui has been quiet, and fish have moved through the Tongariro and not always held where expected. The river mouths were even a little tough and daytime clear conditions made it more difficult for beginners on local rivers.
This all changed during the week when the rains came and got loads of trout heading upstream. While we feel sorry for parts of New Zealand that were damaged by strong winds, for Taupo the rain was a welcome relief for fly fishers and the wider community.
Well it has been an amazing summer and we have had little time in front of the computer, but we do have a whole stash of new fishing stories to tell and some new friends we have made. While many Kiwis would say it hasn't been the best summer weather-wise, it has been great for fly fishing with lots of smelt in Lake Taupo and loads of big fat noisy cicadas in the trees on the riverbanks.
The cold snap and rain last week may have been enough to stop the cicadas, but they are still worth a try with a small natural nymph dropper such as a size 14 Hare's Ear. After three months of munching them, some trout will still have a reflex reaction when they see a big dark shadow float down their food line. Any big bushy impersonation will work as an attractor, but if you tie on a nymph dropper then a foam Cicada will give you more flotation than a deer hair pattern.
The cicadas have been out singing on the last few warmer days. They are a terrible distraction when you have to mow the lawns or dig the garden and you wish you were down on the river casting a cicada imitation to a big Brown trout!
Taupo has had some wacky weather over the last week, with rain followed by very hot spells, and a couple of big thunder storms with dramatic lightening shows.
As we have reported earlier, there are tonnes of smelt in the lake at the moment and you can have a lot of fun walking the shoreline looking for 'boil-ups' as the sea fishermen call them. We don't get the diving Gannets but you will see trout carving through the middle of the schools of smelt. If you have a kayak or boat get out and drift and cast to them. Anywhere from Waitahanui up to Wharewaka point is a good starting point.

Jail remains on lockdown week after attack
ORANGE – Portions of the Theo Lacy Jail Facility remained on lockdown Friday, nearly a week after a deputy was attacked by an inmate, authorities said.
Orange County Sheriff's officials confirmed Friday that the deputy had been injured while moving an inmate at Theo Lacy on Saturday.
As a result, there have been "some issues" at the jail in the past week, forcing authorities to place portions of the facility on lockdown, Sheriff's Spokeswoman Gail Krause said.
As of late Friday afternoon, three barracks and three modules remained on lockdown. The situation is being evaluated on an hourly basis, Krause said.
Sheriff's officials did not specify what "issues" have forced the ongoing lockdown.
The injured deputy was checked out at a hospital before being released, Krause said. Tom Dominguez, president of the Association of Orange County Deputy Sheriff's, said the injured deputy was "banged up pretty good."
Dominguez said deputies from the Central Jail in Santa Ana have been sent to Lacy to assist. Dominguez said that as a result of the state's inmate realignment program, which resulted in some felons serving their time in local jail rather than state prison, county jails have become more dangerous as they fill with inmates who are more violent.

Here's my Temption Cameo in Silver. (Another small German watch brand; I feel like I get pretty good value out of the smaller German companies.)
It's a funky watch to be sure, but those funky details are pretty neat. It's not a small watch (40 x 37, I think), but it is not very wide (circa 10 mm) and is incredibly light on the wrist for its size.

Governor helps celebrate Alcoa's 125th anniversary
OLYMPIA — The manager of Alcoa Wenatchee Works joined here Friday with other company officials from around the state and Gov. Jay Inslee to celebrate the aluminum company's 125th anniversary.
Wenatchee's Don Walton and managers from facilities in Kent and Ferndale received Inslee's proclamation in an afternoon ceremony at the governor's offices.
The governor praised the company for its eco-friendly innovations, including increased energy efficiency and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, in helping the state achieve sustainability goals, said a company press release.
Alcoa started in 1888 as the Pittsburgh Reduction Company when co-founder Charles Martin Hall discovered an affordable way to create aluminum with electrolysis. Alcoa built its first plant in the state in 1952 on the Columbia River in Wenatchee and later expanded into the Puget Sound area in 1969.
