Clearwater Festival 2014, which takes place on June 21 and 22, on the banks of the Hudson River at beautiful Croton Point Park, Croton-On-Hudson, NY, recently announced its lineup of musical headliners. Founded 49 years ago by musician and activist Pete Seeger and his wife Toshi Seeger, this year's Great Hudson River Revival promises to be a special celebration of the Seeger's and their legacy; this year marks the first Clearwater Festival since Pete and Toshi's recent passing. The festival is pleased to welcome many Clearwater friends old and new to the celebration, many of whom will perform special tributes during the event. The 2014 Clearwater Festival performer line-up features a diverse group of established and emerging talent including Lucinda Williams, Norah Jones with her new project, Puss N Boots (Norah, Sasha Dobson and Catherine Popper); singer-songwriter, Rufus Wainwright; alternative Country/Swing band, The Mavericks; legendary guitarist and singer, Richard Thompson; jam band moe. playing a special acoustic set; Martin Sexton; Josh Ritter; Dar Williams; David Bromberg's Big Band; ukulele virtuoso, Jake Shimabukuro; Buckwheat Zydeco; soul diva, Bettye LaVette; indie jazz/soul band, Lake Street Dive; Congolese Salsa great, Ricardo Lemvo, children's music artist Laurie Berkner, and many others. Visit www.clearwaterfestival.org for complete list of performers. Pete Seeger's vision and desire to clean up the Hudson River in the 1960s prompted a series of riverside concerts throughout the Hudson Valley to help raise the funds to "build a boat to save the river." The banjo case was laid open to accept contributions, and this was the start of Hudson River Sloop Clearwater that also laid the foundations for the Great Hudson River Revival – today also known as the Clearwater Festival. Clearwater's Great Hudson River Revival is a destination for music fans and families alike, offering a plethora of family-oriented programming and activities and vendors for kids, including special performances on the Family Stage, juggling and roving artists, Children's Area, storytelling, river beach combing and net seining, and lots of kid-friendly activities. Other offerings that make the Revival experience unique and memorable include the Working Waterfront, offering rides on small boats and tall ships including the sloop Clearwater and the schooner Mystic Whaler. The Handcrafters' Village showcases over 50 crafters and folk artists with quality hand-made items, demonstrations and workshops. The Green Living Expo is the place to learn about sustainable products, services, concepts and technologies for informed lifestyle and business choices. The Discovery and Tideline tents feature Clearwater's original hands-on environmental education programs and Hudson River research. The Environmental Action Tent highlights Clearwater's watershed and environmental justice initiatives in our Hudson Valley communities. An expanded Artisanal Food & Farm Market offers Hudson Valley foods and specialty items as well as demonstrations and performances by local musicians. Ticket prices start at $70.00 and are available for purchase now at www.ClearwaterFestival.org. Clearwater members receive 20% off. Kids 12 and under are free. The Clearwater Festival is wheelchair accessible and most stage programming is staffed with American Sign Language Interpreters.

Development: How to submit patches
This article provides an overview for submitting patches against V4L-DVB kernel driver modules and/or documentation. For general references in regards as to how to develop support for a particular device or in writing a new device driver, see here.
Patch Preparation
Patches should be created against the master V4L-DVB mercurial tree; for instructions on obtaining these sources, see the "How to build from Mercurial" article.
Post your patches to the linux-media mailing list for review and testing. Subscription to the mailing list is recommended, though it is not required.
Follow the guidelines in Submitting Patches (cf. jgarzik's version), including:
- Verify best-practice kernel coding style
- Use [PATCH] in the subject line to get attention
- Explain what the patch does and to what hardware it applies
- Document your work where appropriate (i.e. in the form of patches to the Documentation/video4linux or Documentation/dvb files)
- Add a Signed-off-by: Your name <email@example.com> as a Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1
- Send the patch inline, not as an attachment (unless asked to do so otherwise)
Hint: There is also a checklist for patch submission
After you've Submitted: What happens Next?
In the past, it was, unfortunately, not uncommon for patches to become overlooked or lost on the V4L-DVB mailing lists. However, with the new Linux-media mailing list, V4L-DVB is now using the Patchwork tool for aggregating patches sent into the list (you can read more about it here). So, provided you have correctly submitted your patch, the steps towards having your code adopted will have been put into motion.
The first thing you should expect is that a code review will be performed, and often this is by various parties. This may lead to a series of requests for you to fix any observed problems and require you to then resubmit your work, by repeating the steps outlined above, until everyone is happy with the submission. In other words: wash, rinse, repeat ;)
Then, when your patch is accepted, it will initially be applied to the main V4L-DVB mercurial tree. Once tested and integrated, such patches are later merged into a git tree by the V4L-DVB maintainer and periodically pulled by Linus.

The Chicago White Sox try to end their season on a high note Wednesday when they close out a three-game set with the Cleveland Indians at Progressive Field.
Chicago had a three-game lead in the American League Central as late as Sept. 18 but dropped 11 of 14 and has found itself on the outside looking in.
The White Sox' late-season struggles continued on Tuesday, as Jason Donald singled home the winning run in the 12th inning to carry Cleveland to a 4-3 win.
With Matt Thornton (4-10) on the mound for Chicago, Lonnie Chisenhall doubled to start the Indians' half of the frame and Russ Canzler was intentionally walked. Nate Jones then entered the game and struck out Jack Hannahan, but Donald singled to left to bring home the winning run.
Travis Hafner hit a two-run home run while Shin-Soo Choo added a solo homer for the Indians, who have won five of their last seven. Justin Masterson went six innings in the start and gave up a run on four hits, while Chris Seddon (1-1) worked a scoreless 12th for the win.
"This is a nice run we're putting together here towards the end," said Masterson. "The energy is good and we've been having fun. You hate seeing the end, but this makes it a little more enjoyable."
Dayan Viciedo hit a two-run homer and Orlando Hudson went 3-for-6 with an RBI for the White Sox, while Jake Peavy pitched eight-plus innings and gave up three runs on three hits with a walk and eight strikeouts.
"We just can't catch a break right now," said Peavy. "It's been tough because we want to win, but things just aren't going our way."
Chicago slugger Adam Dunn struck out twice in the loss and is now one shy of matching Mark Reynolds' major league record of 223 set with Arizona in 2009.
Gavin Floyd takes the hill on Wednesday trying for his third win in four starts. Floyd beat the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday to improve to 11-11, while lowering his ERA to 4.47.
He is 7-4 in 14 starts versus the Tribe with a 4.70 ERA.
Cleveland, meanwhile, will counter with lefty David Huff, who is 3-0 with a 2.86 ERA. He allowed three runs on eight hits over six innings against the Royals on Friday, helping Sandy Alomar Jr. record his first win as the Indians' interim manager.
"He told me before the game, 'Hey, this is my first game managing. Don't disappoint me,'" Huff said. "I was like, 'OK, no pressure.' It was good. I'm glad we ended up winning tonight and getting him the 'W.'"
Huff has faced the White Sox five times (4 starts) and is 2-1 with a 6.95 ERA.
Chicago has won 10 of 17 matchups with the Indians this season.

5 Impossible-to-Lose Flash Drives
We don't have to tell you that portable flash drives are handy for transporting files. But they're only useful if you can actually remember to bring them from the office to your apartment next time you need to tackle a little work from home. These 5 flash drives are nearly impossible to lose.
Each of these compact and portable storage devices can clip on to your clothes, keys, files, messenger bag or anything else you're sure not to forget. It's 100% guaranteed they'll be there when you need them.
1. The Bulavkus USB flash drive is what happens when a flash drive and a safety pin love each other very much. Clip this onto your clothes for truly "go-anywhere" data storage. From Art Lebedev Studio, 4GB, launched in April 2012 and hopefully coming to stores soon.
2. Tech company Verbatim makes some solid compact flash drives, but this one features an integrated clip to hang on between the buttons on your shirt or the inside of a wallet. $7.99 for 4GB from Amazon.
3. The Data Clip by Japanese company Nendo is shaped like a paperclip to piggyback onto folders, notes or whatever else you're dragging around. $39.99 for 4GB from AudioCubes.com.
4. The Clip Flash Drive from Imation features an attached mini-carabiner to securely clip onto keys and belt loops. $13.99 for 4GB from Amazon.

Post subject: Kiter Killed
Every time I think I want to try kiting, I read about someone putting themselves in the hospital or the morgue. I just read an article about a recent graduate of Los Alto HS putting himself onto a cliff somewhere in Santa Cruz (Scott's?) who is now dead. Last year I didn't hear about any major injuries. However, the two consecutive years prior, I heard about major head injuries at Third. Thats three major incidents in four years for only our local area. I'm sticking to windsurfing.
My sympathies to this kid's family. He had his whole life ahead of him.

Any sport that cherishes severe weather conditions can be potentially deadly. I've been a windsurfer for 27 years and a kiter for 9. The main difference is the gust factor. In windsurfing you can sail comfortably up to about 50+mph with the right gear. In kitesurfing it's more like 35 mph and if it is gusty the possibility of being lifted and hurled a great distance into something solid is a reality. I have experienced injury and deaths in both sports while I was on the water.
I guess it boils down to experience and judgement. I will never kite if it's gusting 30+, that's where windsurfing really comes into it's own. The worst thing that can happen is getting slammed real hard into your gear. Both sports are awesome in there own right. Kiting makes it possible to sail, jump and wave ride in marginal winds. Windsurfing is more stable, fast and capable of extreme conditions.
True watermen like Naish, Cabrina, Hamilton etc. do it all based on the conditions and how they feel. That's the way I roll, if there is a board and a sport I ride. Don't limit yourself to one thing and always evaluate the conditions and your ability before you head out.
Sea Ya out there!,

It is sad. The kid in Santa Cruz was not yet in the water, but working with his kite on land. As we've all noticed, many of the kiting deaths have occurred when guys have been on land or too near to it. Obviously, if you're violently thrown 20' in the water it's not usually as much or an issue, as when that happens when you're near cliffs (like this kid was near Santa Cruz).
I think of Jay Runge often when I'm around Third Avenue. (Died last year in the kiting accident at Third Avenue.) He was a true community pillar for much more than a decade in the SF Bay Area -- helped the local group of windsurfers establish the current Third Avenue launch area, always watched out for people in trouble on the water, etc.
I am not certain what's supposed to happen when we die, but I wonder if Jay and this kid from Los Altos are sitting around in a bar in heaven right now just talking about what went wrong with their kites. I can just hear Jay saying "F*CK, I really enjoyed living..."
Yeah, as flynbri said, I try to do as many activities as I can as well, it's just more fun that way. But I don't have time to do everything.

How did I forget about Jay! Make that 4 major incidents in 4 years.
I ski, bike, and windsurf. That's enough for me. I'm just too chicken to kite. I agree kiting looks like a lot of fun in marginal conditions, but conditions change and the weather doesn't always cooperate just because someone set up a particular rig. I know there have been fatalities windsurfing, but most of those have to do with a series of bad choices compounding on each other, leading to death by hypothermia/drowning. Kiting doesn't forgive rider error lightly. One mistake can lead to death. Until I see a rig developed that instantly de-powers upon release, I'm staying well clear. I respect those who do it as long as they do it responsibly.
Some of them make me nervous. I suspect they are the ones without windsurfing experience as they seem oblivous of obstructions, downwind riders (both kite and windsurf), and casual beach goers. The guys who know what they are doing are cool to watch and sail with. At Waddel, most give up right of way on the wave to windsurfers depending on who owns the wave. Also, most understand right of way and raise their kites depending on who's got starboard tack on flat water. Airtime, forget about it. Kites are now the kings of the air. Wave riding, I still give to windsurfers unless there is no wind, in which case surfers own it.
I was out with Dr. Steve last fall on a very light wind up and down day at Waddel last fall. Logo high and breaking hard on the sand bar. We were able to get out on big boards (me 94 liters and he 116 liters). I was on a 6.3 and I think Steve on a 6.9. No planing, except on the wave. A kiter tried, but couldn't launch. His kite kept dropping out of the sky on lulls. Even kiting isn't always best in light wind. About 15 surfers were out on short boards killing it. Sometimes Steve and I made it past the break. Sometimes we got crushed. Neither got hurt and the rides we caught were very nice. I even heard a few of the surfers in the line up exclaiming nice ride, alright, etc. I like the cross over of respect between all water sports and would like to see it promoted.
I've been windsurfing for 23 years and would like to go at least 23 more. If I take up kiting, I fear both sports might be cut horribly short. Its a personal choice, but for now I'm stickin' to it.

For the (unnoficial) record, I heard from a Canadian shop owner in baja this last season (sounds pretty reliable) that there many (about 100) kite related fatalities worldwide anually. so yeah, use good judgement.

According to Rick Iossi (who keeps records), there have been around 65 kiter deaths worldwide since 2000.
Jay was trying to retrive his kite when he died - I have not heard the cause of death.
Personally, I have broken 3 ribs and put 12 stitches in my head windsurfing, but have not been hurt badly kiting (knock on wood).

Post subject: Windsurfing/Kite Fatality Database for SF Bay
I looked in my SFBA archives and found the following SF Bay Area windsurfing/Kite fatalities (If you can add to this database please post):
18/June 2007/Abraham, Derek/Santa Cruz/Kite
53/June 2006/Runge, Jay/3rd Ave/Kite
??/Sept 2003/Graham, Tyrone/3rd Ave/Windsurf
35/May 1996/Woodhall, Barnes/Oyster Point/Windsurf
Considering how few regulars of there are out on the bay, and that there are far more serious injuries than deaths, this is a sobering list. I remember them when I put on my PFD before each launch.

Jay was both a kiter and windsurfer. Like JRG said, most of us haven't heard the cause of his death but we know he wasn't doing either sport at the time of his accident. To categorize it as a kiting statistic is a stretch. Don't think he would appreciate it.

Yeah kiting is dangerous. It's an extreme sport. So is windsurfing too, and surfing doulble overhead indo waves, hucking yourself off a cliff skiing, hangliding, paragliding, motorcross, etc. The good guys make it look so easy. Most young kids think their invincible. Some old farts are not up to the challenge. I used to do stupid things when I was younger and fortunately I had the luck or karma to get back to the beach alive. Now I have 2 little girls so I think a little bit more before I leap into a extreme situation. But I am not going to give up kiteboarding for checkers. Kites have gotton way safer over the years but it still takes good judgement to bring e'm back alive. Life or disability insurance is good too.

jules21 wrote:i'd tend to agree. but it's unclear where this claim stems from (it's not on video) and my focus was on the driver's initial reaction - which is what led to the situation spiraling out of control. it's conceivable that the driver bumped the first rider after being distracted - we'll never know for certain.
The problem with the video as you said is what happened before hand. More importantly, I find the strangest thing of the video edit is it's abrupt ending. It doesn't go past the smashing of the window where we know exactly what happened i.e. the bashing of the driver. Seems odd that the most relevant parts of this whole incident are conveniently left out by the video uploader?
While you do mention you can't simply point to previous behaviours of this group to get a motivate, it certainly paints a picture of hooliganism and dangerous driving on multiple occasions. I'd be happy to side with the motorcyclists that the range rover diver acted improperly, but with all factors in mind there's more "blood" on the bike riders hands than the range rover.

InDepth InterView: Woody Harrelson On BULLET FOR ADOLF, THE HUNGER GAMES, New HBO Series, Broadway, Hollywood & More
Today we have the honor of talking to an actor equally skilled in comedy and drama who is now a playwright and director in his own right, with his new play, BULLET FOR ADOLF, being a New York stage hit - the one and only Woody Harrelson. A huge Hollywood star who has appeared in countless recognizable and beloved film properties over the last twenty-five years - from Oliver Stone's NATURAL BORN KILLERS, Milos Forman's THE PEOPLE VS. LARRY FLYNT, Robert Altman's A PRAIRIE HOME COMPANION and many more notables (not to mention his many comedies, ranging from WHITE MEN CAN'T JUMP to ZOMBIELAND), all the way up to his recent, lauded screen appearances in THE MESSENGER, RAMPART and the international smash hit franchise-kick-off THE HUNGER GAMES - casting a special focus on his new Off Broadway play which he co-wrote and directed, BULLET FOR ADOLF - in this chat, Woody and I cover the bases. From an understudying unknown in Neil Simon's BILOXI BLUES on Broadway and his subsequent big break on TV's 1980s hit sitcom CHEERS to his string of iconic film portrayals, Harrelson and I shine a light on his theatrical side while he also elucidates the process that finally brought the story of BULLET FOR ADOLF to the theatrical stage, sharing the true-life tale behind its characters, location, plot and themes and opening up about possibilities for the play's future - West End, perhaps? Maybe a film? Plus, Harrelson also looks ahead to the many exciting projects coming up in the next several weeks and months now that BULLET FOR ADOLF has settled in to an extended run at New World Stages, on sale through September 30 - such as working with fellow InDepth InterView participant Philip Seymour Hoffman and the rest of the starry assortment of players on the highly anticipated THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE and its subsequent sequels (which begin shooting this week in Atlanta, GA); sharing the small screen with Matthew McConaughey on a new HBO thriller/serial-killer-themed anthology series titled TRUE DETECTIVES; starring in SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS, written and directed by celebrated playwright and filmmaker Martin McDonagh; even sharing his candid impressions and adoration of his favorite state of the union, Hawaii - all of that and much, much more!
BULLET FOR ADOLF runs through September 30 at New World Stages. More information is available at the official site here.
Houston To Biloxi To Hawaii to Hollywood, With BULLET In Between
PC: Looking back at the summer of 1983 from the tail end of the summer of 2012, could you ever imagine you would end up here?
WH: Well, I mean, I certainly couldn't have predicted things would go quite like this! [Laughs.] But, yeah, that was one incredible summer - 1983; I had just finished college and I was getting ready to move to New York to try to break into actin, and we met all these incredible characters and we really wanted to get them onstage somehow,
PC: How do you compare the world then to now?
WH: Generally, I would say that in a lot of ways it is pretty similar - obviously, culturally, there are some differences; and, you know, musically, too; and, film, too. But, you know, militarily it is pretty similar - still spending ungodly amounts of money on the military industrial complex and still at war, just like we were with Reagan.
PC: Some things never seem to change in the US, unfortunately.
WH: No, politics have not changed much at all - I mean, things haven't changed too much; there are a lot of similarities, really! Too many. [Laughs.]
PC: You had fallen out of contact with Frankie Hyman, your co-writer on BULLET FOR ADOLF. What was your first meeting like, seeing each other after quite a few years, after you appeared on THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH Jay Leno in 1993?
WH: I hadn't seen Frank for about ten years - 1983 was the last time I saw him; at the end of that summer. I had talked to him a couple of times on the phone, but ultimately lost track of him - you know, I couldn't find him; he moved out of Houston and he was nowhere to be found.
PC: Missing in action.
WH: Yeah. So, I really liked tried like hell to get a hold of him - I even hired a PI, eventually - but I couldn't track him. They told me that if he was working, he would be using his social security number and they could track him that way, but it turned out that he wasn't working at the time. He had had kind of a rough slide since I saw him, so when I went on LENO, I asked for him by name and his brother was watching, and, then, next thing you know, we're back in touch.
PC: The power of TV.
WH: Yeah, man - he came out to LA and he looked like he was fifty years older! In just ten years he had been through a lot, so we got him into rehab and that helped him a lot. Then, eventually, I got him to write this play with me.
PC: He is so appreciative of all you've done, no doubt - actually, have you two discussed dramatizing your recent story, as well, perhaps?
WH: We actually have started working on that - we've worked on the first scene and haven't done much more since, but we've done the first scene where we get back in touch with each other and all that.
PC: It could be a theatrical concept worth exploring.
WH: Yeah, Frank is a survivor and he's been through a lot - there's a great story to tell there. He's managed to go through quite a lot and he's still going pretty strong.
PC: Are you pleased with the reception BULLET FOR ADOLF has received? It's been extended to September 30, of course.
WH: Oh, yeah - I'm really psyched. I feel like there is still plenty of room for improvement, too - I went back to see it last night for the first time since the opening and I started thinking of different ideas to consider and things to cut and things to change…
PC: The work never ends!
WH: It never does! I want to get back in the rehearsal room! I guess that's just my nature - I just want it to be as good as it can be, and, mostly, with this play, I just want people to laugh as much as they possibly can.
PC: And they are - there are some hilarious lines in it. Is it true the "Half Italian, half Czechoslovakian, a hundred percent…," line is a direct quote?
WH: Yes, it is - the real guy was China-Mex, though. So, he would say, "I'm half Chinese, half Mexican and a hundred percent n*gger." [Laughs.] I mean, he'd just meet you for the first time and tell you that!
PC: Sounds like quite a guy!
WH: He was pretty wild.
PC: And if you of all people are saying that…
WH: [Laughs.] He was a character - he really did talk black and was accepted as a, you know, brother, really. [Pause.] He was just totally ghetto.
PC: Do you think making the N-word taboo gives it more power? Do you think it should be able to be used in context - whether if it is direct quotations used in the news or otherwise?
WH: Well, I think that, in many ways, it being taboo is something a lot of people want - so, you know, you have got to respect that. But, on the other hand, over the course of this play we use it - because we really are pushing up against a lot of boundaries and crossing some of them.
PC: You can say that again.
WH: I don't think we use it too much, though - and, of course, there are consequences for the people that do use it, so I think we kind of handled it responsibly. But, we definitely did not want to cower away from writing it the way that we wrote it.
PC: You wanted it real.
WH: Real - and with an edge. We wanted the jokes to have an edge - and quite a few do.
PC: Frankie has quoted you as having been known to test people's limits yourself - he said you would say, "If you didn't like what I said, then why is it you didn't like what I said?" Do you approach writing and directing that same way?
WH: [Pause.] Yes. Of course, there was a lot of stuff that was cut out or was shifted over the course of previews because the audience tends to kind of let you know where they are at, but there are still some edgy jokes that I myself think are funny enough that they deserve to be kept in, but I'm sure some audiences might disagree. [Laughs.]
PC: A provocateur. Did you ever consider another director to work on the piece?
WH: No. I never did have another director in mind for it - I always wanted to do it. You know, in first conceiving of it, I could have played myself onstage, but now I am too old to play myself in it. [Laughs.]
PC: Whose idea exactly was the ingenuous marketing plan for BULLET FOR ADOLF, complete with body-painted topless girls in Times Square?
WH: [Laughs.] Oh, that was the idea of this English girl who worked on the marketing - she said that's what they wanted to do and I said, [With Brio.] "Why, absolutely!"
PC: Is there a plan to bring BULLET FOR ADOLF to the West End at some point?
WH: Well, I would kind of like to - I mean, it's hard to imagine when that could possibly happen; I feel kind of locked down to so many other things right now. it's not as easy as taking it and plopping it over there somewhere - it would take quite a bit of work, I think. But, yeah, I definitely like the idea of taking it there. Who knows? I think they might laugh and they might also get a little bit shocked, too.
PC: Would you change any of the references for the British audience, do you think?
WH: I don't think so - I probably wouldn't change it too much.
PC: So a film version is a possibility, do you think?
WH: I hadn't really thought about a film version, but maybe - I haven't really thought a lot about the future for the play. I have just been concentrating so hard on this particular production and the play as it is now - like I said, just going back to see it again last night made me think of all of these things that I wanted to shift and edit. I want to go back into rehearsal again - I really do.
PC: You're still barely done with this production, then.
WH: Yeah! I mean, in a way, I feel like there's still so much left to do with this production… but that isn't how it works, I guess. I have to let go.
PC: Did you ever involve Ben Foster in the process, especially since you two work so well together - like in RAMPART and THE MESSENGER - and he looks quite a bit like you?
WH: [Pause.] Oh, I see what you are saying - and, yeah, I really get along great with Ben and I loved doing those two with him. And, I actually did think of him for BULLET FOR ADOLF and I actually talked to him about it, but he ended up being busy - he would have done a great job, though, I think.
PC: He would be great for a film version! His film career is blowing up right now - in dramas and comedies; just like you.
WH: It is, it is - and it couldn't happen to a better guy. What a phenomenal actor.
PC: You can say that again.
WH: And he is funny! He can do both equally well.
PC: You two have a similar kind of wild-eyed intensity, I think. Kindred spirits, it seems.
WH: Yeah, I think I might know what you mean, Pat. [Laughs.]
PC: Another fine actor you have recently worked with is Michael Caine. What can you tell me about your new film together?
WH: Yeah, yeah - we did. It's called NOW YOU SEE ME. It is a magician heist thriller kind of movie.
PC: You are also working on a new series for HBO premiering soon - what can you tell me about TRUE DETECTIVES with Matthew McConaughey?
WH: Oh, it was a phenomenal, phenomenal script! It's really kind of like a miniseries, because we do eight one-hour shows - me and Matthew - and the director, Cary [Fukunaga], is just incredible. The script itself is just so wonderful - I think it really has the ability to be something great.
PC: The limited-season anthology series is taking off - DOWNTON ABBEY and AMERICAN HORROR STORY are hit examples. Do you think it is a more enticing format for busy actors like yourself since it is less commitment than a 22-episode-or-more show like CHEERS was?
WH: Oh, definitely! [Laughs.] I can tell you from experience that it is a lot easier gig. Now, mind you, CHEERS was pretty easy, but in terms of the time you have to commit to it, it is a bit easier of a deal. But, this show, TRUE DETECTIVES, is unique because we are playing these parts for these eight episodes and then next year, if it goes on, it will be two other actors playing two other detectives in another city and it will keep changing each year like that.
PC: Is there a possibility you will return in a later season - even if just for a cameo?
WH: Oh, well, you know - you have to try to keep an open mind!
PC: Another new film you have coming out very soon is SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS, written and directed by one of the greatest living playwrights, Martin McDonagh.
WH: I totally agree, man - and, I'll say that he's a great guy and a total gentleman, too. That was a real pleasure to work on that - I can tell you that it turned out phenomenal!
PC: What great news! The early reviews are fantastic. Had you been a fan of his plays and prior films?
WH: Oh, yeah - I had seen several of his plays and I had seen IN BRUGES. I have read every single one of his plays, too - including one that hasn't even been published yet.
PC: We can surely say you are a fan, then.
WH: I am, I am - he's a real master writer.
PC: Was the script for SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS immidiately really impressive on reading? How specific was it? Was it just generally mapped out dialogue-wise or was it a very play-like, finished text?
WH: Well, as you know, Martin does come from the theatre, so it is all fully-formed on the page. He likes you to be word-perfect.
PC: Will you be attending the Emmys this weekend in support of GAME CHANGE and its multiple nominations, including yours for Best Actor In A Movie Made For TV?
WH: Well, I'd like to, but I'm supposed to be filming [THE HUNGER GAMES] in Atlanta all next week, so we'll see how that goes...
PC: Hawaii to Atlanta to LA is quite a flight, but you probably find that it is worth it. Do you enjoy Hawaii?
WH: Oh, I love it more than anything! I can't tell you how much I love it. [Pause.] It's very, very difficult to leave.
PC: Beware of island time!
WH: Oh, the days just roll on - one into the next; hanging out with friends; kite surfing; playing with the kids on the beach; eating the food you grow on your own farm on your land; it's a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful life there.
PC: What are your thoughts on the level of racism that is somewhat prevalent in the society, as juxtaposed to what you experienced back in Houston?
WH: Oh, it's very difficult to say - it's so hard to say because, you know, it's not a blanket-type of racism, but there are little pockets of racism all over. It's different there than it is here in the mainland, I would say, though.
PC: With Hawaii being such a progressive state, do you think it will have any influence in the future insofar as many of the issues they are addressing now - like gay rights and drug laws?
WH: Well, they are definitely progressive, but I don't know whether or not Hawaii will ever be like California in being a state that kind of leads the charge on things, but it would be nice if it was.
PC: One last film from your resume that I wanted to touch on was Robert Altman's final film, A PRAIRIE HOME COMPANION. I think it is one of the best recent movie musicals and a true masterpiece of his, which is saying something significant.
WH: Oh, thank you! I loved that movie! Not a lot of people saw it, but I thought it was just wonderful - I really did.
PC: Is it true you and John C. Reilly had a hand in writing your musical material?
WH: Well, we definitely had a hand in shaping some of those songs and making them a little different; a little groovier. You know, the script was already really good and Altman made the experience really great because we were actually coming out onstage in front of an audience and doing those performances live in front of the audience - and they ended up using the actual vocal and the guitar and everything in the final edit; so that lends a realness to it all that is kind of cool and special, I think. We were actually doing the whole show in front of a live audience and you can feel it in the film.
PC: Isn't it true that Paul Thomas Anderson was onset as an advisor, shadowing Altman, for much of that film?
WH: Yeah, yeah - he was.
PC: Lindsay Lohan gets a lot of guff, but she more than holds her own singing up a storm with Meryl Streep and Lily Tomlin in that film. Did you find her talented?
WH: Lindsay is super-super-talented - I think the only question is whether or not she'll be able to ride out the storm.
PC: You came to success at a young age with CHEERS, so you know about the Hollywood machine more than many or most do.
WH: Yeah, I do - it's something that you have to just go with; it's like a bucking bronco and you just have to try to hold on until that last clock, you know?
PC: What a great Woody Harrelson-esque way to put it!
WH: [Big Laugh.]
PC: Last question: what have you experiences like been so far working with your new HUNGER GAMES cast-mate Philip Seymour Hoffman - who has also done this column, incidentally?
WH: Oh, well, I am leaving tomorrow to go to Atlanta to film the new HUNGER GAMES, but I can tell you that there definitely will be some stuff that we have together in the next film. And, I think he is just one of the greats, so I am really looking forward to working with him.
PC: Do you two know each other through Paul Thomas Anderson? Have you and Philip ever worked together?
WH: We've never worked together, I don't think, but we've known each other for a while - and we've hung out a few times. He's a real prince of a guy.
PC: From my experience, it seems that you both are so open and cool and really just all about the work.
WH: That's really nice to hear, so I appreciate you saying it, man.
PC: Jennifer Lawrence is another co-star of yours who is poised to take Hollywood by storm.
WH: Oh, she's so incredibly talented - yeah, she's great. All of them are really great on THE HUNGER GAMES, so I am looking forward to getting back there to Atlanta.
PC: Does this look like it might be your career high next year with such hi-profile stage, small screen and big screen projects?
WH: [Laughs.] Well, you never know for sure about things like that, but I feel really great about how things are right now. Right now, I guess I feel like my main focus is still BULLET FOR ADOLF, but, soon, it will be all about CATCHING FIRE.
PC: This was so interesting. You're the best, Woody. Aloha.
WH: Aloha, my brother! Take care, man. Bye.

With so much excitement around Call of Duty Black Ops II Rebecca Mayes asks "Is it everything you hoped for?" in a new recording of her review song. Maybe she should have played Battlefield?
Great to see another new song from Rebecca! These are always beautiful and interesting responses to games outside the normal remit of "reviewing."
cod devs really suck. ps3 player screwed again.. I expect the same next gen they are really in bed with MS. I might start playing Dice games on ps3.
I've just sold Black Ops to go buy Battlefield. Never felt happier.
Not really, but it's a better game than Mw3. Im done with Infinity Crap/Sledgecrapper games.
I am not a CoD hater, I actually really like all the other CoD games, with the exception of World at War. But Black Ops 2 just doesn't do it for me. The Strike Force Mode is just a poorly done rts game that lacks any sense of balance. The rest of the SP is okay but it seems off to me. The Zombie mode is made a lot less fun by the difficulty spike that happens way too soon in the rounds and the map isn't laid out very well.
I am not a big mp fps guy so I want say anything bad about that aspect of the game. I will say that I suck at fps games, but I could get a decent number of kills in the mp so I didn't mind it, but a guy like me probably should have been slaughtered.

Needling 101
I had cystic acne throughout my 20s. It could have been a lot worse, but it was bad enough to leave scars on my face, ones I knew would get worse with age. So when I first started covering beauty, I asked every single dermatologist, esthetician, and even other beauty editors about acne scarring. Some recommended lasers, others chemical peels, while some suggested I was still too young to start doing anything about the scars on my face. "Your skin's still turning over," they said. Topical products were suggested and eventually, the products I was using did start making a difference. But I wanted more. "You need to be needled," said LA-based esthetician Oni Chaves of Santa Monica's Ko'An Center. She was mid-facial and I hadn't even asked my go-to question. Though I'd heard the term, I had a million questions. Her answers to the most important ones, below.
What is needling?
It's the act of rolling what looks like a miniature rolling pin covered in tiny needles over your skin.
Why would I do that?
It's a great tool for fighting stretch marks, wrinkles, surgical scars, pore size, hyperpigmentation, and yes, acne scars.
How does it work?
The needles break the skin—think of it as a controlled injury—tricking it into healing and thus producing significantly more collagen, plumping, and re-texturizing the skin. "They used to call micro-needling 'collagen induction therapy' because you're telling your body to heal the wound," says Chaves. "It stimulates repair so that you're basically building new skin."
Does it hurt?
It probably would, if they didn't numb your face beforehand. Post-numbing, it feels a bit like microdermabrasion.
Is it new?
The technology used to look like an actual steamroller, says Chaves, but new technology's responsible for the procedure's comeback. Instead of manually rolling the needles over the skin, "they've developed devices that are much more sanitary and sterile."
How much does it cost?
It starts around $350 and can go up to almost $5,000. Why the wide range? Usually, when your skin is needled, it's covered in product meant to soak into all of those open wounds. The product can range from a traditional serum to the plasma from your own blood (known to Kardashian fans as vampire therapy). The former will keep costs down while the latter costs a small fortune. (There are at-home options, but do you really want to poke your own face?)
Is it worth it?
Totally. The worst part of the experience was having my face numbed—there's nothing painful about a topical numbing cream, but it's a very strange sensation to have an entirely numb face. Otherwise, it was a breeze. The only time it felt like something sharp was on my face was along the contours, especially my nose, and it was over in minutes. My skin was red for the rest of the day, but glowing by morning (exact downtime will vary by skin type) and though it takes 30 days for full cell turnover, my skin looked—and felt—very different within just a few days. On top of smoother scars, I also noticed significantly smaller pores. Would I do it again? Absolutely.

Department of Revenue News Release
February 04, 2009Department of Revenue Waives Penalties for Southern MO Residents Affected By Ice Storms
JEFFERSON CITY – Gov. Jay Nixon and Director of Revenue Karen King Mitchell today announced that penalties normally assessed for late transactions at local license offices will be waived for customers of certain offices affected by the recent ice storms.
"The people of southern Missouri have courageously battled through one of the most devastating storms in recent years," Gov. Nixon said. "I'm focused on helping these Missourians recover and get back to work, and the last thing they need to worry about is paying a penalty for not being able to get to their local license office."
The waiver only applies to people who were unable to get to one of the specified offices from January 26 to February 4, or who can't get to an office between today and February 6. Customers of the specified offices that were completely shut down during this same time period are also eligible for the penalty waiver. Customers who were already late with their transactions before January 26 are not eligible for the waiver.
The offices covered by the director's waiver are in Alton, Caruthersville, Chaffee, Charleston, Dexter, Doniphan, Gainesville, Kennett, Malden, Mountain View, New Madrid, Poplar Bluff, Sikeston, Thayer, Van Buren, West Plains and Willow Springs.
Because of the ongoing consequences of the storm, Mitchell said local office managers can apply for penalty waivers for next week if they feel there is still a need.
The penalty for not renewing a vehicle's license plates on time is $5. The penalty for not obtaining a vehicle's title within 30 days of the vehicle's purchase is $25 and an additional $25 for each month thereafter. There is no financial penalty for a late renewal for a driver's license, but a person who does not renew his or her license within six months of the expiration date must retake the state's driving and written examinations.

At Avery Point, great expectations
Groton — The research center that will tackle the global problem of climate change is also a "down payment" on the governor's commitment to southeastern Connecticut.
At the opening of the new Institute for Community Resiliency and Climate Adaptation Friday at the University of Connecticut's Avery Point campus, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said Avery Point is a "real jewel in the UConn system," which to some extent has been "underutilized."
At one point Friday, Malloy scanned the audience for Groton City Mayor Marian Galbraith. "I made certain promises to you about our initiatives in this part of the state, and in this community specifically," Malloy told her and the group of about 100 who had gathered for the opening. "This is the down payment."
The research center was created to help municipalities, businesses and homeowners better prepare for the impacts of more frequent and severe weather and rising sea levels caused by climate change. Based at Avery Point, it is a collaboration among UConn, the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
State DEEP Commissioner Daniel C. Esty said the institute will be a center of excellence for the country and the world. "It really positions Connecticut for leadership on an overarching issue of astounding importance for this state, this country and this planet," Esty, who will soon step down, said in one of his last public appearances as commissioner.
Put simply, the mission of the center, U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal said, will be "to save the world."
"So, no pressure," said Blumenthal, D-Conn.
Many state and local politicians, representatives from the Environmental Protection Agency, NOAA and DEEP, and UConn faculty and students attended Friday's event. H. Curtis "Curt" Spalding, regional administrator of the EPA's New England office, said the center will be a model for New England.
Galbraith said she has spoken with Malloy several times about what UConn can be, and how important it is to the area's economic development. She said she is thrilled the state chose to base the institute in Groton. "We're anxious to see UConn Avery Point grow," she added.
The mayor said she would like to see dormitories built on campus so more parents will want to send their children to Avery Point, since an influx of students would bring more energy to the community and help local businesses. At the start of the school year, Avery Point students began living in empty dorm rooms at Mitchell College. But that, Galbraith said, is a stopgap.
State Sen. Andrew Maynard, D-Stonington, who has advocated for more funding for the campus, said, "As the governor said, this is a down payment on what is going to be a lot of exciting change coming here at Avery Point."
UConn President Susan Herbst said in an interview that Avery Point "is as important as every other part of the university."
"It can do things with regard to research and teaching that cannot be done at any other place at UConn," Herbst said. "It is precious to us and we'll do our best, even in these tough times, to try to expand and to try to bring more people here and to try to bring more federal money here."
The institute will attract more students and researchers who are interested in climate change research to Avery Point, people who want to build their careers there by working on cutting-edge projects, Herbst said. It will raise the prominence and prestige of the campus, she added.
Michael Alfultis, the Avery Point campus director, said there are already many faculty members at Avery Point who can contribute to the center, from the experts in marine science and policy making to economists and historians.
Some part-time positions may be created, Herbst said, and companies that are already located along the coastline may decide to stay close to the institute while others that are farther away may move to the area.
U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney, D-2nd District, said the center's work is directly connected to the future economic viability of the region because the strategies will help municipalities prepare for the changing climate and mitigate risks. He also noted that the World Economic Forum convening in Switzerland devoted all of Friday to discussing the threat of climate change.
Connecticut has experienced severe storms in recent years and will face more in the future, Malloy said, which is why the state needs practical solutions to help communities better adapt to a changing climate. The state is using a $2.5 million settlement from a water pollution lawsuit to create the center and has applied for grants to run it.
The settlement, announced Dec. 5 by the U.S. Attorney's Office for Connecticut, resolved a pending case against the Unilever manufacturing plant in Clinton for violating its state wastewater discharge permit. The state sued the company, also known as Conopco Inc., in 2009 and 2012 over discharges of thousands of gallons of untreated wastewater into state waterways.
Esty said the institute "will be a legacy for all of us, decades out into the future."

The Culture of Wall Street Needs To Be Gutted From The Inside-Out
Blog post • Aug 14, 2012 18:31 EDT
When my staff and I started working on compiling our list of Dirty Dozen banks, I realized there are many questions that the list does not answer.
The fact is all of us need to dig deeper, and educate ourselves to obtain a further understanding of the current culture of Wall Street if we are to do anything about fixing it.
I would like nothing better than for there not to be a need for a Dirty Dozen list, but I suspect we'll be updating that list for years to come.
It was not always this way. Banks, and bankers, used to have their pulses directly linked to the communities they served.
But somewhere along the way, Wall Street became insulated from the rest of America. Their concerns are no longer ours.
Americans realize this, I realize this, and yet despite growing evidence mounting every single day, those in power on Wall Street fail to see the forest from the trees.
And therein lies perhaps the biggest problem with Wall Street. You have a systemic and endemic failure caused by poor moral leadership.
Forget trickle-down economics, Wall Street has a bad case of trickle-down ethics. Or more correctly, a lack thereof.
Dimon continues to push a narrative that he's sorry, but not ultimately responsible for the problems that have befallen him.
And it is because he continues to push that narrative that I choose to make an example of him. His apologies still ring hollow, because he follows those apologies with some truly bizarre examples of self-deflection.

At the beginning of 2008, only three movies—Titanic, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest—had earned over $1 billion worldwide. Flash forward five years to early 2013, and The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey has just recently become the 15th title to reach that illustrious milestone. With the addition of 3D ticket pricing and the rapid expansion of the foreign market in areas like China and Russia, reaching $1 billion definitely isn't all that it used to be. Still, it hasn't lost all its prestige, and hitting that mark remains an undeniable sign that a movie is a global sensation. Four 2012 movies reached that coveted level, though only one (Skyfall) was a major surprise. 2013, on the other hand, doesn't have as many obvious choices, and it's therefore unlikely we'll once again see four $1 billion titles. Excluding Jurassic Park—which will obviously pass $1 billion thanks to its 3D re-release—here's a look at the 2013 movies that could ultimately reach $1 billion, along with what we think the odds are of that happening.Iron Man 3 (May)Instead of viewing Iron Man 3 as a sequel to Iron Man 2 ($624 million), it's more beneficial to view it as a spin-off featuring the most-popular character from The Avengers (sorry, Hulk, but Tony Stark/Iron Man is still easily the most widely-liked member of the team). That movie ranks third all-time with over $1.5 billion worldwide; if Iron Man 3's drop from The Avengers is in line with that of recent spin-offs X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Puss in Boots, it will absolutely earn over $1 billion. Odds: 60% Star Trek Into Darkness (May)Star Trek Into Darkness looks like a massive blockbuster, but it's coming off a 2009 predecessor that only managed to earn $128 million overseas. Into Darkness is clearly designed with a foreign audience in mind—director J.J. Abrams was mandated to make it 3D, and it appears like a large portion of the movie is set in futuristic London—and four years of positive word-of-mouth on the 2009 movie will significantly increase demand for this one. Still, it would need to get past $600 million overseas, which would be an unprecedented overseas jump. Odds: 5%Fast & Furious 6 (May)2011's Fast Five put the Fast & Furious franchise in a great position: not only was it by-far the highest-grossing entry yet with $626 million worldwide, but it was also a major crowd-pleaser that featured the kind of post-credits twist that has had fans chomping at the bit for the past two years. The previews for Fast & Furious 6 deliver all the car-related destruction these fans expect, while also presenting a new story and new location (London/Europe). Still, it's entirely possible that this series is nearing its ceiling, and a 60 percent increase worldwide is hard to fathom. Odds: 25%Monsters University (June)Monsters University is the third Disney/Pixar sequel in the past four Summers; the first one, Toy Story 3, is the highest-grossing animated movie ever with $1.06 billion, while Cars 2 underwhelmed a bit with $560 million. Monsters, Inc. is a very well-liked Pixar movie, but isn't put on quite the same pedestal as the first two Toy Story movies. Also, instead of actually moving the story forward, Disney/Pixar opted to go the prequel route, which means the story itself won't be nearly as essential for audiences. If Monsters University turns out to be a return to greatness, then $1 billion is a possibility, but don't count on it. Odds: 15%Despicable Me 2 (July)In 2010, Despicable Me introduced audiences to the Minions and earned over $543 million worldwide. As well-liked as it is, though, history suggests it has no chance of reaching $1 billion: in fact, using other recent closely-timed animated sequels as comparable titles, it's unlikely that Despicable Me 2 makes it past $700 million. Odds: 10%Thor: The Dark World (November)Coming off The Avengers, the second Thor movie will clearly do better business than the first ($449 million). Still, the title character isn't nearly as popular as Iron Man, and so it's doubtful that it holds on to more than half of The Avengers's $1.5 billion. Odds: 20%The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (November)At the domestic box office, The Hunger Games earned an incredible $408 million, which is more than any of the Harry Potter or Twilight movies. Unfortunately, it was a modest overseas performer with $283.2 million. In much the same way as the Twilight franchise experienced a huge overseas bump from the first to second movie, though, so should The Hunger Games, and a foreign total for the sequel in the realm of $500 million wouldn't be surprising. That still makes $1 billion tough to reach, but if a non-3D movie is going to do it in 2013, it's going to be Catching Fire. Odds: 40%The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (December)Each Lord of the Rings movie earned more than its predecessor, and by that logic The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug should be able to top An Unexpected Journey $1.02 billion. No matter how vocal the fans are, though, it has become abundantly clear that An Unexpected Journey isn't as well-liked as the original movies. Therefore, it's going to take an impressive marketing effort to get Smaug to avoid the modest three percent dip that would put it below $1 billion. Odds: 50%"Original" MoviesOnly three "original" movies—as in, not sequels or prequels—have ever earned $1 billion worldwide. Two of those movies were made by James Cameron (Avatar and Titanic), and the third (Alice in Wonderland) owes at least a tiny amount of its box office to goodwill generated by Avatar a few months earlier. All of this is to say that the odds are extremely low that an "original" 2013 movie reaches $1 billion. Oz The Great and Powerful had a miniscule chance of performing similar to Alice in Wonderland, though any and all hope was squashed when it opened considerably lower than Alice on an overseas basis this past weekend (around 50 percent lower across major markets). With Zack Snyder's stylish direction, guidance from Christopher Nolan, and the addition of 3D pricing, June's Man of Steel has a lot going for it. Still, the movie would need to earn nearly three times as much as 2006's Superman Returns, which is a near impossibility. Johnny Depp has starred in three $1 billion movies (a record), and Lone Ranger's marketing has been pushing the Pirates of the Caribbean connection. Unfortunately, its previews have been met with a lukewarm reception so far, and Westerns are a notoriously tough sell overseas.Finally, with its skyscraper-sized robots going up against giant monsters, July's Pacific Rim is sure to do great business in Asia at least. The rest of the world, though, is another story, and coming anywhere close to $1 billion is a stretch.

Captain's ReportThree Riders or One...The SE Delivers on FunPlenty of Features to Keep the Riding Turns Going All Day By Capt. Ron SvobodaAs I stand on the beach visually scrutinizing Sea-Doo's new GTI SE with company rep Tim McKercher, he explains to me that Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP) "has really put the fun back into the PWC market". With that in mind, I set out on the 155 horsepower watercraft to see what Tim was really talking about. The quick, nimble and virtually "snappy" machine is a great improvement over the typical jet propelled craft on the market these days, which have become almost boring due to over-engineering for the sake of safety and stability. With a top speed of nearly 50 mph and a narrow, modified-V running surface, the GTI SE is an exciting performer. She packs all the playfulness of a muscle craft without having to shell-out the big bucks for one. Key FeatureThe base model GTI is geared for recreational consumers looking for a boat at a low price point. Stepping up to the SE package gets you 25 extra horsepower under the hood and a speedometer to let you know how fast you're going. But that's not all this versatile model comes with. The SE stands apart from its lesser sibling, with a stylish metallic grey finish and black hull bottom, rear view mirrors and ski tow eye. At the back of the boat you get a sturdy, retractable boarding ladder and super durable deck and foot well mats.Like the base GTI, the SE has a masculine, aggressive look to it. The plush, 3-up seating and redesigned handlebars are higher and wider for greater driver comfort. Below the bars is a storage compartment deep enough for a large bottle of water or two. Above the bars, the boat's dash panel features a digital information center with engine tachometer, fuel gauge, battery voltage, along with 15 other parameters. There's even a readout that tells you how cold the water is, just in case you don't feel like dipping your toe in to check the temp.Just forward of the matte black finished console is a large storage compartment. Under the flip-up lid is a removable, watertight storage bin and access to the battery. The plastic bin is really a slick idea, because now you can take it to the fridge to fill and to the beach to enjoy. And although I love the concept, I found the latches to be somewhat cumbersome. Power PackageAmidships is a bumble-bee yellow seat which easily removes in one piece to reveal the heart of this fun machine. The Rotax 4-TEC engine is a naturally aspirated, electronic fuel-injected masterpiece, thanks in part to her closed-loop cooling system. Similar to what you have on your car, the motor does not use raw water to cool itself. Besides simplifying maintenance, this design ultimately eliminates the damage that can occur from saltwater attack on internal engine components. It also prolongs the life of the power plant compared to other boats on the market. You're still going to have to check the engine oil and coolant levels before you ride, and change them when necessary, but that's all very easy with the conveniently located service points.Innovative DesignsAlthough the GTI SE was designed to put "fun" back into the game, she still has all the great safety features that BRP is famous for. Take O.P.A.S. for example, which is short for Off-Power Assisted Steering. This little gem of innovation is simply two small rudders located at the stern, below the waterline and controlled by the handle bars. When the craft is "off-power", O.P.A.S. provides some steering control and helps the rider to avoid collisions. Another important feature, common on most of the Sea-Doo line, is the "Learning Key". This safety lanyard allows younger or less skilled riders the ability to have fun without exceeding the "Keys" preset speed limit which is maxed at 35 or 45 mph.Agile PerformerOn the test course, the agile craft handled amazingly and snapped turns on a dime. Acceleration and cruising was accomplished with smooth, responsive power, while the ride was unbelievably quiet and relaxed. With the comfortable seating and controls you can easily ride all day without the pain sometimes associated with PWCs, and thanks to its 15.9 gallon fuel tank, you won't have to stop to refuel. The down side of the boat is something I didn't expect from Sea-Doo's larger sit-down craft; spray from the bow at low speeds and idle. With a slight chop on the bay, I continually got a face full of brine. I expect this was because riding conditions were not as smooth and ideal as they could have been, but the GTI SE's proved its ability to maneuver just fine in the chop. I also thought the plastic on the front cowling and storage lid could have been a bit heftier for a longer life span. But despite these minor finding, the GTI SE is truly a great value and a blast to drive, and with safety features such as the "Learning Key" the whole family can take turns.
Test Result Highlights
- Top speed for the Sea-Doo GTI SE (2007) is 54.9 mph (88.4 kph), burning gallons per hour (gph) or N/A liters per hour (lph).
- Time from 0 to 30 of the Sea-Doo GTI SE (2007) is 3.0 sec. seconds.

Voter Registration in Alexandria, Virginia : African-Americans, 1902-1954
Once African-Americans in Alexandria gained the right to vote, they consistently participated in the electoral process. This participation took place within the confines of segregation, a legally sanctioned way of life throughout Virginia. The races could not buy houses in the same neighborhoods, attend the same schools, or use the same libraries. This separation of the races included the voter registration rolls.
A community's list of registered voters links individuals to a time and place. Family historians and genealogists will find these lists a valuable source of information. The Alexandria, Virginia voter registration rolls include personal data such as birthdate, marital status, occupation, and more. Family units and neighborhoods can be re-created. Changes in the population can be followed over time. As is the case with many genealogical sources, the original data is "inconsistent." For example, sometimes a complete birth date (month/day/year) is available but often only a year is given.
Database Contents -- This database was created after a careful review of the microfilmed voter registration roll books in the Local History/Special Collections Division. The original roll books are located in the City of Alexandria Archives and Record Center. When data is missing from the roll book, " --- " appears in the appropriate database column. When data is illegible, "?" or "???" appears in the appropriate database column.
Precincts -- During the period 1902-1954, African-American voters registered in six precincts: Armory Hall (ARM), City Hall (CH), Fire Engine House #5 (FIRE), Friendship (FRIEND), Lee School (LEE), and Oddfellows Hall (ODD). A precinct's roll book may have been re-copied. Consequently, there may be more than one voter list for a precinct on a microfilm reel. When a book was copied, details about a person may have been changed, e.g. "Charles" becomes "Charlie" or information may have been transcribed incorrectly, e.g. "Ava" becomes "Ada." These discrepancies have been captured in this database.
Names -- This database contains close to 2,100 entries. Some of the names appear more than once, at the same address, but in different voting precincts. Precinct boundaries were subject to change. In some cases, there are variations of a name. The same woman may be registered as "Mrs C B Chissell" and "Mrs Connie B Chissell" in a total of three precincts.
Occupations -- The meaning of job titles changes within a social context. A "fireman" is more likely a "person who stoked engines" than a "firefighter." Similarly, a "housekeeper" has different responsibilities than a "housewife." A woman who works as an "operator" is more likely a "beauty parlor operator" or "hairdresser" than a "telephone company operator." Sometimes, a person reported "place of work" instead of "occupation," e.g. "Torpedo Factory," "Navy Yard." If a person reported his occupation as "mch helper" or "pipe ins," the database reflects this. Similarly, if a person reported her occupation as "steno" in one precinct but as "stenographer" in another, the database includes both entries. In the interest of clarity, this database standardized some terms, e.g. "printer's asst" and "schoolteacher" for "printer's assistant" and "school teacher."
Addresses -- Street addresses are reported as given. Sometimes, a person's residence was recorded as a location, e.g. "Lincolnia" or "Route 2, Box 79" instead of as a street address. When two addresses appear in same space on the voter registration roll, both addresses are reported in this database and separated by a slash mark, e.g. "719 N West/1012 Cameron."
Comments -- The voter registration rolls show the length of time that a person lived in the state, the county, and the city. This information is not included in the database but may be located on the microfilm. Occasionally, the registrar noted that a person had moved into or out of a precinct. This information is not included in the database. However, the database does make note of moves into and out of Alexandria. In some cases, the registrar noted a date of death. This information is included in the database.
Researchers might also want to refer to Guide to African-American Resources. The guide presents an overview of relevant materials in the Alexandria Library Local History/Special Collections division.

About Jrosen
Apparently idiocy TRULY IS a disease, and it's become a worldwide epidemic. ...
Jesus, who the f*** are these morons to even come up with this s***???????
I don't really give a good goddamn about ticketmaster, scalpers and so on and so forth. Main reason is, I DON'T BOTHER with concerts, and I have a problem most 'Professional American' sports. I think in my 35 years of being on this planet, I've gone to MAYBE a half-dozen concerts. And of those, ONLY one of them did I actually pay (personally) for the ticket(s) myself. One or two I won via radio-call-in's. The rest were purchased by parents (Always when I was too young to purchase them myself). Check that, might be two if you count Blue Man Group, but I saw them back in my old hometown of Boston, which is where they got their start. And to me, they are more 'theater' than 'concert'.
Glad to see Texas isn't on there. I used to live in MA, and yeah, it's a pretty f'ing stupid law.
Damned straight, count me in!
Do let us know if you actually DO do this
LMFAO, very nice Helmet, very nice.
And obviously the disease of idiocy is spreading. Given, from what little I've seen of little-miss Love over the years, she's not got that much intelligence to start with. I enjoyed Cobain's music far more than Love's at any given time.
As to the whole chance of lawsuit, give me an f'ing break! Activision is honoring a musician by putting him in. While not all the music might have been his 'style', it's still good to see. Get your head out of your coked-up a$$ and try relaxing and just, I don't know.. ENJOYING the memory instead of tripping over it.
Considering many colleges and post-grad places tend to PREFER home-schooled kids, and how increasingly useless most colleges actually are these days, I could see this working well. I went to Brandeis University, a very high ranked school out of all in the USA. Once I finished I started job hunting, but also went to a Certification School for the IT work I'd really preferred to do (repairs, system/network-admin, etc). I just about had a minor in Computers there, because there was not a single course in the school for what I'd wanted to do once out of school. I'd even looked at MIT, BC, BU, Harvard and many others. Never in a single Computers/Information Systems course did I see anything about working with Cisco, Unix, etc. It was all programming, programming theory, circuit design, etc. Going into College was one thing that was supposed to be THE thing to do, and I, for one, actually KNEW what I wanted to do. College didn't help that along one whit. I should have skipped college and gone to a tech-school like ITT and likely would have enjoyed it more.
Colleges/Universities overcharge for what they offer. Have for over a decade now, and they don't teach kids (yes kids, because most who go and even graduate, though they might be 21, still have no true clue about the real world going in, or even graduating from college) are not given a set of skills to truly SURVIVE in the real world.
What once was a mark of prestige, is now a bad joke, and becoming a worse punchline.
Problem is, that likely the judges, the jurors and lawmakers aren't smart enough. Remember that recent RIAA bit where the jurors got the RIAA nearly 2mil for the songs. No lawyer for the corp-side will want ANY person as a juror who actually has a clue about what the case is based on. They want the dumbest, most tech-idiot people they can get, so they can give them ONLY what the corp lawyers want them to hear.
The moral panic bit is sensationalism at it's worst. I use RedBox, Netflix and MovieCube (I haven't rented from blockbuster in years, they're horrible), to screen movies, and catch some of them as soon as they're out to watch them again (if I saw them in the movie theater), I've done the same with HBO, Showtime and other chans. And IF I like the movie enough (and I have the money), I buy it. Two weekends ago I bought Dark Knight and Iron Man. I had the money, and both were a lot of fun.
The corps and their lawyers need to get their collective heads out of their asses.
Actually pasha, you're wrong, there are plenty of people who work two jobs, or who work one full time job and still manage to do plenty of things with the rest of their non-sleeping time. Go to school, improve themselves, make music, make movies, create new games, and quite a bit more.
Kudos to the judge, very nicely said.
Now if only lawyers, judges and the vast majority of morons in the US would pick up on what this judge has ruled and can work with it.
First, is yes, pharma companies, really don't give much of a damn about actually HELPING people. But then that's old news.
Second, what I find funny, and usual double-standards, or just directed stupidity, is how prevalent placebos and such are, and yet, hypnotism (ie, guided suggestion) is pronounced false, dangerous, and so forth by those same doctors. Proscribing a placebo is literally a form of hypnosis, as it is nothing but suggestion that 'hey, this will help'
Gods that would be nice, the problem is, that wouldn't really fix anything. It would just breed more lawyers, because just think of how much more law-sh!t there would be about 'yes this is frivolous' or not, taking up even more money, time and wasting it all.
But yes, we do need to do something about the moronically frivolous lawsuits
With things like this, it's stopped being 'how to innovate', it's turned into 'how can I be even more petty in f'ing over other businesses that compete with mine'. Now given, that is, to a degree what companies do. Compete with each other. But it's no longer free-market competition of 'who can make the better product that people want, so they'll buy it', it's simply become 'who can we sue, legally f*** over, or worse'.
Using three databases/knowledgebases is NOT new, NOT innovative, NOT hard to do and should NOT be f'ing patent-able. Hell, you take anyone in the country, or world, who's done searches for computer problems, and they likely do 3-6 knowledge/database searches each time!
And I repeat, Idiocy is apparently a contagious disease, at the rate people everywhere seem to start suffering from it.
If I were the comedienne's hubby, I'd just about disown my own family over that stupidity
Not so hard to just name something what it's not. IE: labeling a porn .avi file as anything you care to. Given, I don't know the names of the files the guy downloaded, but it's hardly hard to rename hotsex.avi -> Feelgoodmovie.avi
As for all that p2p stuff. I haven't used much of it in a while. yahoo, msn, skype, etc all work pretty well for many things if you just know people
I used to work at a school system. Decently large one, I was the go-to IT person for 6 schools, Elementary->High School. NO WAY IN HELL would we have let this happen. I don't know the software that was used, but obviously it wasn't implemented properly.
I have not signed up for a SINGLE website for lyrics that CHARGES me anything. IE.. Outside of any banner ads, they don't make money off of supplying me with the lyrics I want to find. Hence they are not 'profiting on the backs of songwriters' or other mealy-mouth bulls**t that the corporate morons like to preach. 99.9% of the lyrics I look for aren't even American/English songs. I listen to mostly foreign music and I want the lyrics so I can know the song better, what they're saying, and make sure I'm hearing it right (Not to mention it helps me learn the language).
It's aggravating when a FREE, that's to say NO CHARGE. THEY'RE NOT MAKING MONEY OFF OF MY LOOKING AT THE SITE type sites have lyrics for songs I love removed because of some corp nincompoop with a flagpole up his/her a**, when those lyrics might help me continue following and buying the music
The real reason that they don't want the lyrics posted, is that they likely realize how badly put-together and inane most lyrics for songs are these days considering so many are locked into a cookie-cutter sound-byte type song setup.
I fondly recall when songs in America would be 5+ minutes long. (Hotel California anyone?) And even carry a message.
And as to they lyric-sheets and such. I don't recall even SEEING one in any music store in the last 10 years. If they're not going to sell them, then how can they say that 'making it free, means people won't buy them'?
"When you are offered a bad contract, you don't sign it."
A nice thought. But when you realize that back then especially (and still now with the worsening education of America), people like Roxanne (and likely her parents) didn't KNOW it was a bad contract. Do you seriously expect a 14 y.o. to know anything about the spaghetti-logic laws of the music industry?
I remember her music, and some of it I enjoyed. I was much more a fan of Salt 'N Pepa however. Kudos to Roxanne for TAKING back what was owed to her from the bastards of the recording industry.
known as IDIOCY apparently can afflict even supposedly intelligent medical professionals.
Yes, there is a science behind Psychology. But it's more of a 'soft' science. While the brain can work like a computer, it is not a purely empirical manifestation that is identical in all ways to every other person's brain. Genetics has something to do with it, environment has an effect, what schooling the person has done, has an effect. In many ways it works on a simple cause-effect. If something scares you bad enough, you will tend to fear it in the future. If certain patterns work every time you use them. It's a learned skill, knowledge, etc.
Doctors fear the general public knowing more about Psychology because it can suddenly invalidate the ridiculous amounts of money they pay for their schooling, as well as the insurance payments that keep so many medical costs ridiculously high.
Much as Hypnosis is feared by so many medical practitioners, even though they USE the base idea of the 'skill'. Anyone ever heard of a placebo? There's hypnosis right there in short. The power of suggestion. 'yes, this pill will make you feel better'.

Weekly RundownPosted by on July 15, 2013
This week we'll hold two major full committee hearings. Be sure to check back here on the Bottom Line Blog -- and sign up for our email updates -- for more information throughout the week.
Here's what's happening:
On Wednesday, the full committee welcomes Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke at 10 a.m. for the July Humphrey-Hawkins hearing. The Fed Chief's testimony, as well as his accompanying semi-annual Monetary Policy Report, will be released at 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday by the Federal Reserve. This is a change from earlier practice when the testimony and report were not released until the scheduled start of the hearing.
On Thursday, the full committee meets again at 1 p.m. to review the discussion draft (.pdf) of the Protecting American Taxpayers and Homeowners (PATH) Act. Committee leaders released details of the PATH Act last week. The legislation would end the taxpayer bailout the GSEs, protect and reform the FHA, and create a sustainable housing finance system.

New Delhi: Defending his flip flop on Arvind Kejriwal, activist Anna Hazare on Tuesday said he had to change his views on his former aide as times changed and felt that there will be "more trouble" if he explains the reason.
"It is because of the times. I will tell the reason for this change when the time comes...If I say the reason, it will create more trouble," Hazare told reporters here.
He was responding to questions on his frequent change of stand on Kejriwal and his Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). Hazare had earlier said he will support Kejriwal and honest candidates from his party but had last week said his former aide had become "greedy" for power and he would not even vote for them.
When pointed out that Kejriwal feels that Hazare will return when he knows that he is on right path, he shot back, "He is dreaming. What can I say on that?"
He said he never had the intention to enter politics and he does not want to say more on Kejriwal.
"I have never told anybody to vote for this person or that party. If I had belief in politics, I would have stood for elections much earlier," he said.
Announcing his future plans, he said he will go on another agitation if a strong Lokpal Bill is not passed in Parliament. "I am studying the Bill in Rajya Sabha. If it is not strong, we will organise another movement before 2014 elections," he said.
Talking about his proposed nation-wide tour which will start from Pune on January 30 next year, Hazare said he has to awaken people as Parliament was not upholding Constitution.
"This Lok Sabha is not upholding the Constitution. We will have to awaken people. The divide between poor and rich is widening. The time has come to dissolve this Lok Sabha," he said.
He said new office of his movement will be inaugurated on January 12, the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekanda, in Ralegan Siddhi where he will try to gather around 1,000 youths, who will take a pledge that they will work for bringing change in the country.

Appeal to the bishop within 10 days of a decree of suppres-
sion or merger. He's got 30 days to get back to you - or not.
If the answer is still no, the parish then has 10 days to appeal to the Congregation of Clergy in Rome. They could take years to respond and usually back the bishop.
